Sickening: "Teen" Demands Girl Date Him, Then Bodyslams Her and Stomps Her Head Into the Concrete When She Refuses
There was a guy who used to appear on Ethan Van Sciver's livestreams, a British guy named "Captain Chokeout." Not his real name, I don't think.
Captain Chokeout said that he had been sent to prison for a serious charge, either attempted murder or assault with a deadly weapon. Because he had been a bit of a soccer hooligan, if I remember right, and had gotten into a fight and kicked a guy in the head when he was on the ground. And in the UK, he explained, a kick to the head of a downed opponent was considered attempted murder. (Or maybe "assault with a deadly weapon," the kick being the deadly weapon in this situation.) I say that just to emphasize that a kick to the head of an opponent on the ground. We don't have this rule in the US, I don't think, but other countries do consider it attempted murder. It's a serious attack that can kill someone. Meanwhile, in the US, since George Floyd killed himself by being 320 pounds and a drug addict, blue cities have created a de facto rule that black thugs are allowed to take "Street Reparations" on whites who "disrespect" them with no consequences or minimal consequences. By "Street Reparations," I mean an unconstitiution and incivil scheme permitting some favored members of the Democrat coalition of criminals and pirates to attack and beat someone from an unfavored group according to how much he believes he's entitled to fist-and-kick unofficial-but-approved "reparations" against another race at that moment. Remember Trayvon Martin, repeatedly smashing George Zimmerman's head into the concrete --- attempted murder -- because Zimmerman dared to exercise the usual, lawful functions of a neighborhood watch? And the entire left insisted he was justified in this attempted murder, and that George Zimmerman should have allowed himself to be killed rather than shooting the young thug? Street Reparations. And this is consequence of that. I won't call it an "unintended consequence." It is a perfectly intended consequence.The post doesn't specify the races of the perp and victim. I will: It's a black thug demanding a white girl give him her phone number (and give him "respect" as a thug-harasser) and then violently attacking her when she attempts to flee.
Sickening video shows NYC teen stomp on girl's head-- after she refused to give him her number
"According to police?" It's on video.
Disgusting video shows a teen slamming a girl to the ground and stomping on her head after she refused to give him her phone number, according to police and sources.
The 14-year-old Gentle Giant is a full head taller than the little girl he bodyslammed and attempted to kill. And why did he think he was entitled to do this? Because the Gay Race Communist left told him he was entitled to do this. But I hear he's really been "trying to turn his live around" since the attempted murder two days ago. He's thinking about becoming a rapper and applying to CUNY.
Video circulating on social media shows the 14-year-old brute confronting the 15-year-old girl on the corner of East 107th Street and 3rd Avenue in East Harlem around 3:30 p.m. Monday after school got out.
"I'll knock the s--t out of you right now," the bully says as he blocks the girl's path in the crosswalk, while one of his pals eggs him on to "Do it!"It's just terrific that this wasn't a single lunatic, but a pack of murderers all cheering on the head-stomping of an innocent girl they never met.
He was arrested. By the way, he was wearing a mask, of course, a pernicious thing the left has allowed precisely to allow criminals to kill people and then get away with it. This occurred in Soros DA Alvin Bragg's Manhattan-- do you think he's going to throw the book at this thug and the monsters who cheered on the murder of an innocent white girl because she wouldn't fuck them? Because I don't.
"You stand right here," he orders her, pointing at the ground at his feet. She tries to go around him but he puts an arm out and pushes her back, the tense clip shows. "Get the f--k away from me, p--y," she tells him, turning around and walking away. The masked goon then grabs her from behind, picks her up in the air and slams her into the pavement, according to the video. While she lies on the ground helplessly in pain, he stomps on her head and walks away. The girl suffered a concussion and was taken by EMS to Harlem Hospital in stable condition, police and sources said.
NEW: New York City teen arrested after he body slammed a girl before stomping on her head because she didn't give him her number.

Meanwhile, the rule that any minority should be given free reign to commit violent crimes with near-impunity is in full force across Canada.
Oh, he's half First Nations. That must explain why he's spending any time in jail at all. The judge has no evidence whatsoever that he has been discriminated against -- and admits it. But he asserts it's just and right to assume "oppression."
Woke judge sentences man who throttled toddler to just six months in jail because he is of indigenous heritage and suffered 'negative consequences of COLONIZATION' A Canadian man was sentenced to just six months in prison after being caught on camera throttling his stepson, after a judge ruled his indigenous heritage was a mitigating factor. British Columbia Provincial Judge Tamera Golinsky made her decision on April 7 after the man, who was listed under the initials KJM, pleaded guilty to one count of assault by choking and one count of assault. The defendant's name was not listed due to a publication ban to protect the victim's identity, reported CP24. The 33-year-old choked and kicked his girlfriend's child on two occasions while on a 'cocaine come down' on two days in June 2025. In the sentencing document, Golinsky referred to KJM's indigenous heritage multiple times, despite noting that the violence could have 'an inevitable and long-term impact' on the child, reported CTV News. However, Golinsky took into consideration that while KJM was not raised in a 'traditional upbringing,' he is of First Nations descent through his mother.
'While I acknowledge that there is no evidence that he or his immediate family were impacted by state actions such as residential schools, even the disassociation with one's past and cultural heritage is a negative consequence of colonization,' Golinsky wrote in her decision.

I would like to go on the record as to the consequences of colonization on me:
1. I live in a house I can’t carry on my back
2. I have air conditioning and heat
3. I used to not have to worry about neighboring tribes coming to kidnap me and worse, however, that security seems to be going away so it may need to be tabled
4. I have written language and as such I can bless each of you with my wit and wisdom

I admire your optimism. I don't share it. The wildcard will be the video of the murder, which is rumored to exist. I assume the reason it wasn't released is because it's bad for the black kid.

No Surprise: Democrats Plot and Scheme to Impeach Trump on "Day One" If the American People Are Insane Enough to Give Them Control of Congress
Democrat communications shop and Eric Swalwell cover-up agency Axios:
A cohort of resistance-minded House Democrats is pushing their colleagues to begin building the case against President Trump now in anticipation of a Day 1 impeachment vote if they retake the House. Why it matters: The mere existence of this movement demonstrates just how much pressure lawmakers who have not yet gotten on board with impeachment will face in January of 2027. "This is something that I keep saying to our leadership ... we need to have a very concrete, coordinated strategy," Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-Ill.) told Axios. The Illinois Democrat said the party should "build up the case so that when we are in power in January, we've created the conditions ... we've done the fact-checking, we've done the shadow hearings, everything we need to be able to to impeach [Trump]." Rep. Yassamin Ansari (D-Ariz.) told Axios that if Democrats recapture the House "the push for impeachment is going to be overwhelming." Driving the news: A Strength In Numbers/Verasight poll released Tuesday found that 55% of U.S. adults surveyed said the House should vote to impeach Trump, while just 37% oppose it. "That net +18 verdict," Strength In Numbers author G. Elliott Morris wrote, "puts Trump in the neighborhood of the numbers Richard Nixon saw at the peak of the Watergate scandal in August 1974."Sure. Axios, of course, which covers up for Democrats like Joe Biden and Eric Swalwell, fails to note that this polling outfit has a strong Democrat bias. Google AI:
Political Context: The poll often finds results where Democrats lead on generic ballots (e.g., +6 to +8 in mid-2025/2026) and where President Trump's approval is relatively low (often in the mid-30s to low-40s). ... Independent, But Not Necessarily "Neutral": While aiming for objective data, the analysis often highlights areas where public opinion diverges from conservative policies (e.g., high support for ACA subsidies, raising taxes on corporations). It also notes that independent voters are heavily skewed away from Republicans (-30 net rating in some reports), which informs its findingsAgain: Sure.
Morris cited Axios' reporting that more than 85 House and Senate Democrats called for Trump to be impeached or removed via the 25th Amendment to the Constitution following his threat to destroy Iran's civilization earlier this month. The big picture: In the immediate aftermath of the 2024 election, Democrats didn't even want to hear the word impeachment. "People ridiculed me," said Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-Mich.), who was the first Democrat to introduce articles of impeachment against Trump last year.Yeah, this is just other Democrats attempting to tamp down talk of impeachment for fear of energizing Trump supporters. It's a lie. They will in fact impeach Trump on day one, or at the latest, by the end of month one. This will probably benefit us. Trump's voters don't vote unless Trump himself is on the ballot, which is why we either lose or gas out in the midterms. But Democrats just put Trump on the ballot for the midterms.
When Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) forced a vote on impeaching Trump last June, 128 Democrats voted with Republicans to quash the effort while just 78 voted to advance it. Things have changed drastically. When Green forced another vote to impeach Trump last December, his support went from 78 Democrats to 140. ... Said Thanedar: "We have a case -- a very strong case -- so we should really work on it now." Yes, but: Just because a member supports impeachment when asked -- or when forced to go on the record in a House vote -- doesn't mean they think it should be a policy priority for their party.

I suspect it'll be a majority of about 5.
They will convene some kind of impeachment subcommittee on day 1, and it will go for 6 months of theater until they draw something up.
Meanwhile, the Senate will be either a 52 or 53 GOP majority. And it will treat the impeachment as seriously as even Mitch McConnell treated the first impeachment against Trump (where only Romney in the GOP caucus voted for conviction on one of two counts).
America got the lesson that impeachment is failure theater and toothless in the 1860s. If Andrew Johnson couldn't get impeached, no one can.

By tying the Senate up in impeachment hearing after impeachment hearing, though, the House Dems will neuter the Republican Senate. Trump won't get anything done for the rest of his term. Which, to them, is good enough.

Yes 67.
Trump's second impeachment, after 1/6 when Mitch was celebrating that the GOP was soon rid of Trump forever publicly, at the nadir of Trump's electoral and political power in America, only 7 Republicans voted for conviction (5 of them are no longer in office at all).
But sure, they'll get 15 or so GOPers to vote for conviction over whatever bullshit they pull up in 2027 as opposed to Trump leading an insurrection or whatever it was in 2021.

Every leftwing event, rally, movement, initiative, and effort ends up being a fart in a hurricane. Nobody shows up, nobody cares, and it accomplishes nothing. This is a far cry from Trump 1.0 and especially after the Patron Saint of Drug Overdoses overdosed.
We have yet to see an election without USAID money. We have yet to see an election in the aftermath of the recent vote integrity measures. We have yet to see an election with a raging stock market and quickly improving economy coming out of 4 years of dogshit.

My assumption is based on a mix of normal political gravity + the current congressional map's compactness from 2020.
Both of those seem to be in flux. The flashy one is the latter with the gerrymandering back and forth. But it's the former that's probably going to have the bigger impact.
I want to believe that USAID et al getting cut off at the knees (or outright ended) will have a huge impact, but I dunno.

It's beginning to remind me a bit of how that asshat Charlie Rangel would always put up a bill to re-establish the Draft. Not because he actually wanted one, but because he wanted a Draft to piss off young adults so that they would get involved, and presumably support the Donks. He was bluntly honest about it, and at the drop of a hat would proudly talk about his attempted manipulation of young idiots.

the point is to make it clear this is part of their platform so people vote for them in order to give them the power to actually do it. Publicizing it is an important part of the process.
Impeachment will happen, because it carries no weight. 67 Senstots have to convict, which will never happen. Even if they did, it's a removal from office. No other penalties.
Once he’s out of office, suddenly he’s vulnerable to criminal charges again, from New York, Georgia, the Hague. Only need one state to jail him pending trial and deny bail, and have him die behind bars.

The vaunted Obama machine that we were all supposed to be terrified of lost both of his midterms really badly. Worse than Trump did.

I mean, a lot of powerful lefties have access to gobs of money and they could of course just be passing it on to get captured opposition. If Groypers are funded by the Left, then it is not much of a stretch that the average Republican politician is also funded by the left. it would explain both the odd inability to do anything remotely conservative, and at the same time explain the instinctive dislike the Republican voters have for their own politicians.
Maybe we should just hold our noses and vote harder. Again.

And term limits for all of them too. Not just the presidency. Limits for Congress, and, perhaps more importantly, the federal judiciary. Including SCOTUS.
Lifetime appointments are horseshit.

Voters are myopic and dumb. If Trump doesn't wrap up this Iran thing soon, people will remember high gas prices and vote against Trump (by voting Dem). If Iran wraps up quickly and successfully, gas drops and jobs and the economy keep growing and remain the focus, he'll be in good shape.

My assumption is based on a mix of normal political gravity + the current congressional map's compactness from 2020.
Both of those seem to be in flux. The flashy one is the latter with the gerrymandering back and forth. But it's the former that's probably going to have the bigger impact.
I want to believe that USAID et al getting cut off at the knees (or outright ended) will have a huge impact, but I dunno.

I think the lack of USAID money is reflected in the pathetic turnout for all these "no kings" assfucks. I'm having trouble seeing how a demoralized, underfunded left that can't get more than a handful of shambling zombies to even high-profile, heavily pimped events can somehow muster up the stones to win in November.
Yes, our side has a turn-out problem. And it will be a problem. But I think the left will have a similar problem, at least as it pertains to a national vote.

Special elections are weird and non-predictive because they just have different turnouts.
A special election with 24% turnout is not the same electorate as a general election with 80% turnout.
VA's special election did have fairly high turnout, but so did the 2025 governor's election.
However, when people screech about some city council special election where the GOP underperformed by 20 points which spells doom for us all, they never talk about when the GOP does overperform.
It's tea leaves, not statistics, but it's something, I guess.

I dunno, it seems like a pretty balanced option in a 3-branch system. You'd want the most powerful branch theoretically most reflective of the publicist will (Congress, as the Founders envisioned) to have a way to remove bad actors, including the President, before things spiraled into violence, but it would have to be very difficult to do to prevent abuse, and allow it to be used only in emergencies the public STRONGLY supports.

There was a specific meeting with a Senate delegation led by Minority Leader Hugh Scott that told Nixon his time was up just before the House voted formally to impeach.
The tapes where Nixon was discussing matters did him in. Had Nixon destroyed the tapes immediately or never did the practice in the first place, then he probably would have skated by. His own grandiosity about viewing his place in history and the fact he assumed that because his predecessor Dem presidents did it, he would get the same protection from them being released.
He sank himself essentially.

Setting aside the nattering nabobs of negativism on the left/media, Trump has all the time in the world to end this Iran situation on his terms. Iran's IRGC has not only alienated its own population, but all of their neighbors as well. They're not Germany 1939 - they will lose this one. We have a 250th and a GOP convention as well. US GDP's being held back right now, and it'll be unleashed by Oct - just in time for elections. The SPLC trainwreck is just beginning. The Dems will be crushed by it. Time is on Trump's side.

Johnson's impeachment was ostensibly about his removal of Stanton as Secretary of War, which Congress decided was a high crime and misdemeanor since he didn't consult Congress.
Like 2 years later, SCOTUS ruled the act constitutional.

Those on the Right, however, consider all facets of a decision inclusive of substance. Some, are, of course ALL in, but far fewer that the Left.
Trump's not on the ballot at midterms, and the Democrats just countered that by making it about him. That energizes their voters a hell of a lot more than ours. And, that doesn't even consider the wishy washy fence sitting independents, who go out of their way to tell you about their independency.

=====
The history of parliamentary impeachment was based on a very different system and when that system changed, even Parliament got rid of it.
Essentially, it was used during the Elizabethan era and the early Stuart regime as a way of attacking the King's ministers and perhaps removing them WITHOUT being able to be accused of disloyalty to the Crown. The pretense was that the king could do no wrong but the ministers could. It was never designed to get rid of the king himself.
That required a separate bill from Parliament on different grounds ordering Charles II execution.
Eventually after the failures of two well known impeachments, Warren Hastings (Minister to India) and Lord Dundas (admiralty among others), Parliament abandoned using it.
The Hastings impeachment was occurring in fits and starts during the Constitutional Convention itself and lasted 7 years without result.
The Founders were mixed on impeachment and for good reason. For cabinet officials, it was a clunky way to remove when a President could do so easily. Continued.

IMO the best political strategy is to point out how unbelievable the FNM is to LIVs or old time Dems who don't realize how commie their party has become. People need a constant drip drip of "can you believe the FNM said this stupid false thing on air". If talking to an LIV independent one might add, "they lie so much I feel like I have to oppose whatever they want, including in the voting booth"

Interesting footnote: Prominent 20th century conservative historian Forrest McDonald (first from Brown University, then after a scandal with a graduate assistant, The University of Alabama) was summoned to DC in the runup to the Clinton Impeachment. Skeptical members of the House Judiciary Committee asked him whether "High Crimes and Misdemeanors" should be interpreted to include lying under oath about a sexual affair. He replied that the Founders intentionally left that clause vague, in order that it be interpreted by future generations of legislators. He said, it means whatever you want it to mean.

And to that, I would say that you not only need to be against Trump, but to be FOR something else. Spanberger billed herself as a moderate, and VA is just waking up to who she really is. Mamdani is experiencing buyers' remorse in the East Village - soon to spread city-wide. The wheels on the Newsom train are falling off as people see the deep corruption and incompetence in his CA. If there was one Dem leader who could give a coherent vision on what a successful gov't under their control looks like, I would say they could run away with it. As it is, they really don't. And we're still less than two years away from Biden's Reign of Error, where every single Dem in office right now stood right beside him without any criticism when it mattered.

became a shadow threat based on partisan emotions rather than for government misconduct (much as the older Parliamentary method was).
Johnson, more a less a S. Democrat, was impeached over violating the Tenure in Office Act which was most likely unconstitutional ( see Myers v. US which buried that particular act). And Nixon was impeached primarily because Congress had a massive domination by Democrats and the old S. Democrats were being replaced due to the Voting Rights Act in the South that might have supported and protected him from impeachment. The House was ran by Northern liberals at that point.
The Clinton impeachment failed despite the fact he was guilty of the criminal charges but the politics weren't there to cause Democrats to abandon him. Then you have the feckless and likely illegal grounds of the first and the rank stupidity and unconstitutionality of the second impeachment of Trump.
The 25th (passed after Ike's health issues and revealed Wilson and FDR infirmities), is a similar constitutional sinkhole. Both ignore the role of parties acting to protect its own.

That said, I'm not worried about what'll happen if (when) Trump loses the birthright citizenship case. By 'Boasberg's' logic, if Trump were to lose, I would just get the IRS to levy taxes on any anchor baby born in the USA that is living abroad and now making any sort of income - especially in China. Pay up, or you forfeit your citizenship. I bet you'll see a lot of tax exile paperwork coming in at that point - or else we'd get a lot of money. To me, that would be a much better use for 85,000 IRS agents.

Not the Founders didn't. It had a specific common law meaning derived from British common law on impeachment powers. Basically, the common charge of a king's minister misbehaving (even if it was under the king's orders like Buckingham), was for consorting with foreign enemies, violating the vague English unwritten constitution and privileges for Parliament for example (trying to arrest them), and otherwise acting against the British people themselves for money, power, etc.
MacDonald was a decent early American historian but not a constitutional scholar where specific vague phrases like law of the land (in the US Constitution became due process) mean something buried in a warren of old casebooks of precedents in Coke, Blackstone (lesser degree) and even older sources like Bracton.

They had gotten Bob Packwood to resign, and the left anchored its opposition to Clarence Thomas on the argument he had once told a female coworker a dirty joke.
Then in rapid succession it came out Clinton was having an affair with an intern, he'd sexually harassed a bunch of the women that worked for him, and he had sexually assaulted another woman.
And the Thomas standard suddenly changed to "the president is allowed to have a sex life"

I remember an interview with Koontz in which he described a disagreement with an editor iirc. Koontz described a small California style furnace in a scene and the editor decided the scene must have an East coast style basement with the big furnace.
Koontz argued the scene was set in California but the editor insisted. Koontz submitted a rewrite that included something like, "And a furnace large enough to incinerate the body of an editor." Koontz got his way with the smaller furnace.

Oh Dear! NYT Cries That the DOJ Is Increasing the Rate of Denaturalizations of Dirty Terrorist and Piratical Foreigners Who Lied During Their Naturalization Process
We need every single terrorist plunderer Cultural Enricher the world will give us!!!
Justice Dept. Targets Hundreds of Citizens in New Push for DenaturalizationIs it really not clear? I notice this is a favorite tactic of the communist propaganda media, claiming they don't know what would possibly cause people to suspect Jihadi Mohammad might not be a great American citizen. By the way, saying it's "not clear" is a very deceptive weasley construction. They know why these people are being targeted for naturalization, but say it's "not clear," which means that if it's proved later they knew the reasons, they can just say "well we didn't know all the details, which meets the requirements to say it's 'not clear.'"
The Trump administration is assigning denaturalization cases to regular prosecutors, which could lead to a surge of people stripped of U.S. citizenship. The Justice Department has identified 384 foreign-born Americans whose citizenship it wants to revoke, part of a push to increase the pace of denaturalizations by assigning the cases to prosecutors in dozens of U.S. attorney's offices across the country. Senior Justice Department officials in Washington told colleagues during a meeting last week that civil litigators in 39 regional offices would soon be assigned to file denaturalization cases against the individuals, according to an official familiar with the announcement who was not authorized to describe it on the record. Two people familiar with the plans confirmed the broader effort to ramp up denaturalizations. It was not clear what led the department to target the 384 individuals.
Well that seems pretty clear doesn't it?
Under federal law, the government may ask a court to strip the citizenship of people who obtained it fraudulently -- for instance, by entering into a sham marriage or by withholding information about their past that would have made them ineligible. Some who commit crimes may also be denaturalized. The government must present evidence to a federal judge through a civil or criminal proceeding, making the process challenging and time-consuming.
Traditionally, experts in the department's office of immigration litigation have handled denaturalization cases. But the effort to enlist regular prosecutors to pursue these cases could lead to a surge in denaturalizations, which have been rare in recent decades. It also comes just months after Trump administration officials ordered Department of Homeland Security staffers to refer upward of 200 denaturalization cases a month to the DOJ. Matthew Tragesser, a Justice Department spokesman, said that officials were "pursuing the highest volume of denaturalization referrals in history" from the Department of Homeland Security. "The Department of Justice is laser focused on rooting out criminal aliens defrauding the naturalization process," he added.
Again, this all seems pretty clear to me. So what the NYT is saying is that they don't know the exact charges for all 384 of the people being denaturalized. Hence, it's "not clear."
They don't, because foreigners granted citizenship through naturalization can be denaturalized if they have been found to lie in their paperwork. Natural born American citizens cannot be so denaturalized (though if they could be, I've got a little list). Hence they do not have the "same rights and stability." And these are not "political opponents," these are fraudsters, pirates, plunderers, and terrorists. They are enemies of the vast majority of Americans -- which makes them, naturally, key allies of the communist, civilization-razing left.
"Citizenship fraud is a serious crime; anyone who has broken the law and obtained citizenship through fraud and deceit will be held accountable," said Abigail Jackson, a White House spokeswoman. The push indicates that the Trump administration aims to make good on its plan to increase the pace of denaturalizations as part of its crackdown on immigration. The move will likely scare many naturalized immigrants as the Trump administration has sought to curtail immigration across the board and spoken disdainfully about migrants from certain countries. "The message it sends is that naturalized citizens don't have the same rights and stability as native-born citizens," said Amanda Frost, a law professor at the University of Virginia. "The government has used this power in the past to target people it views as political opponents."
Let me repeat a joke from yesterday: The New York Times is like Freddy Mercury came all over Richard Gere's gerbil and they pumped Rod Stewart's stomach and found the lining was made up 100% of cum-cells.
Eric SchmittHello! Happy Friday!
@Eric_Schmitt We must be unapologetic about this: denaturalization is a constitutional, long-established tool for stripping citizenship from people who should've never received it Citizenship is more than paperwork We should expand denaturalizations. It's why I've filed the SCAM Act

This is not a criticism: this is what the feds should be doing to try to weed out any sham marriages (like probably half the Muslims here).
But I can't help but think if these weren't white couples the feds would rubber-stamp it. At least they would have before Trump started paying attention to this.

Our moral superiors, the Brits, denaturalized a white British-born citizen who had moved to Russia and acquired Russian citizenship because he was "a threat to the UK".
So, the precedent has been set.
The person who stripped him of his citizenship, Shabana Mahmood, is the daughter of Pakistani immigrants.

She and her family lied about their last name when they got visas, because they were pretending to be members of another family that had already been approved; and she lied about her age on her citizenship application so that she could get citizenship under her parents' application, rather than having to apply for citizenship herself as an adult.

Not a fight, but I could enthrall you with a discussion of if I have a spider bite on one of my toes. It nearly drove me insane two nights ago, waking me from sleep. Then not finding Benadryl, forcing me to wake my husband. Wondering, "Is this athlete's feet? Do I use a steroid cream?" Nurse brain activated at 0300. Watched video on laptop til this passed then slept til 10am (yesterday).
I have no idea what bit me but it is not serious, only annoying.
This is how I spend 1% of my life, wondering, what on earth? What now? Why can't I go one week without something weird?
There! A sum of my trial and tribulation of today. Shoes? No shoes? Bra? (ok, this does not involve the toe, but a consideration if not wearing shoes).

We haven't done anything with Amazon that would require a "secret code".

Not a code for multifactor authetication? For phishing attacks by SMS, the odds are good that the rando that receives one has an amazon account, so it's not likely you were hacked. When in doubt, change your password.

Laughs. No. First, Ace is no homo. Second, this guy is very old and "came out of his closet" when his children were grown and his wife was either dead or dying of cancer. He also waited til other members of his family were dead (like my FIL who would have killed him).
A true Romeo and Romeo story of meeting his "partner" with similar history of a blended Brady Bunch family of grown children.
To top it off, before he married a woman, he was a brother or something in the Catholic church. His now dead partner a Jew.

Amazon will send out a "recovery" verification code if you tell them you have forgotten your password. Either someone is in your account trying to phish it, or someone gave the wrong cell number.
Either way, delete the code, and maybe check your Amazon account for any new activity you are not aware of

Green card issuance is down 50%. New H1-Bs are down about 90%. Asylums are down literally 99%. Every visa class is down double digits.
And then, interior deportations are up in every state, including states that have never had interior deportation operations as a focus (think the entire Midwest), the border is closed, and a combination of regulations and stuff from the OBBB is making it harder for legal and illegal immigrants to get benefits.
70-80% of those picked up by every government agency for immigration sign waivers to leave, so they count as voluntary departures instead of deportations. And yeah, it's not just ICE. It's the entire DHS. It's actually every agency that interacts with the public because Trump deputized the entire federal government to enforce immigration law.
Agreements with local and state police have exploded from about 150 to more than 1700, meaning that when a cop runs a license and sees that the person isn't legal no matter the reason they interact with the police, there are 1700 jurisdictions that just contact ICE and get the illegals picked up for deportation.
It's a machine.

The only time you should get that is if you initiate the process by requesting the recovery of a lost password online. Then the website will advise you to check your email or text messages for the one-time code, which then copy and paste into the password recovery window.

Firstly, protests continue in Minnesota. The national media just found another squirrel.
Secondly, there was a partial pull out of extra DHS resources from MN because those extra resources were doing logistics work around ICE, the kind of basic work that local police usually do when a federal agent calls them and asks for some support. MN ended all of its sanctuary policies. It was in the news. That's why DHS decreased its presence there.
MN started interacting with DHS like Texas does.

I do understand the compulsion to blame women for various problems, especially when as a whole they have leftardized almost everything. It's a delicate balance because you have to expect that conservatives are gonna wanna do that.
When it comes to two swarthy men assaulting a teenage girl it's less cut and dried but there's always gonna be that temptation to blame women especially when the leftarded ones (very vocal) went from shouting All Men Rape to... You're a Racist If You Don't Let All the Rapists In... in less than the blink of an eye and it's very frustrating, especially as men who generally have an instinct to protect.

The lack of funding for support is having an effect. MN's tantrum led to other governments ending cooperation with ICE. That's slowed some of it all down.
However, the meat of deportations were always going to be self-deportations.
And every survey indicates it's between 4-1 and 5-1 for self-deportations to deportations.
Self-deportations are people just up and leaving without telling anyone.

The stink of a declining political operation for a long time incumbent is apparent. They focus on negative ads, boldly assume that past bad acts by the incumbent won't be examined, they try to parley endorsements from other politicians into faux indicators of support, etc. etc. And often staffers simply go through the motions because there is no passion for a political relic--just a paycheck. The great causes went by the side years ago as their political donors demanded.
It is usually the divergence between what they do and what they say that gets longterm incumbents.

Trump is overloading the media circuits by pressing on so many fronts. He understands politics is a war of movement rather than fixed positions.
The typical GOP president like GWB focused on one big item (Iraq for example in his second term). And left the rest to speaking platitudes and ignoring. Reagan was more similar though to Trump than to the Bushes and Fords. Even Nixon was.
Trump, for better or worse, does not do that--he has multiple projects going on and this term has the proper staffing to continue unlike his first term.

The employer side of things is happening. The direct targets end up being smaller employers, though, because bigger employers use eVerify.
eVerify is a joke that actively prevents employers from flagging obvious fraudulent applicants. You run the name and number, it doesn't match, but you ran it through eVerify and actively can't tell law enforcement about it. Also, if you don't hire the guy, you can get sued.
Also, it doesn't matter what Trump says. Miller runs immigration, and there will be no slacking until Miller gets fired.
CBPOne deportations are tracked as well, but the numbers are somewhat small.

I can’t stand an AWFL, and the huge problem on the left is they have zero convictions. It is why it is so easy for them to pivot all over the place like they do as soon as the marching orders come out. It’s almost like whoever is in charge of the marching orders rolls dice with words on them and they use that as their newest position.
I like to believe those on the right have morals that aren’t always so flexible. But the reality remains there are really good women out there who aren’t caught up in means testing, which is really dumb. If you (not you specifically) want those women,you sometimes have to grab a mirror and address why it is you aren’t attracting them. By the way, this also works in reverse. That was my entire point. And it was said strongly, but heck, sometimes a kick in the pants is needed. You gave me one that was absolutely needed.

Labour has been trying to get Starmer to resign for 2 years.
He's already had a couple of moments where members of his cabinet have resigned to try and get him to resign without dissolving the government.
But Starmer has no shame or any motive other than to hold onto power, so it won't work.
If they really want to get rid of him, it's vote of no confidence or assassination.

There are 26 million naturalized citizens in the U.S. 800,000 are naturalized every year.
384 people is a rounding error on a rounding error. If I were to guess, how many of the 26 million lied on their naturalization forms, it would be a lot more than 384.
That is the other thing the left does - makes a huge deal about problem that impacts virtually no one. 384 is a fraction of a fraction of a fraction.

Everything must be attacked at all ends: go after employers, go after businesses that do businesses with illegals, cut off ALL government bennies to them (because, after all, by definition, they are not citizens).

I think the administration looks at that as "anti-business." They don't seem inclined to penalize the employers of illegals. Instead, they appear satisfied with processing and deporting the illegals in (the hope?) that the employer will hire Americans to replace them.
It's debatable if that is working or even how the administration looks at the employer - illegal relationship. But it seems likely.

It's why all the "Starmer is on the way out" stories have gone on for literally 2 years now. Anything other than convincing the guy who will not leave his position leads to a snap election where Labour is much less popular than ever, the CP is probably an afterthought, and resistance is coalescing around Reform and Restore which probably won't be as willing to tank races for Labour as the CP was in 2024.

All indicate a declining illegal presence, primarily in red states but also happening in purple states. The deep blue states are getting a lot of internal illegal migration in which muddies the picture.
And the aggregate drop in US population estimates indicate that the decrease is real and accelerating (as do the official figures from deportations and the border sealed).
The West Coast plus NY blue wall on immigration will end when the state money runs out. Which is happening quickly now the fed taps are turned off.
Trump is trying to basically pull off keeping the economy going among other projects which means cost-benefit analysis is driving policy.

Yes, Starmer could call a national election on his own.
If the Labor Party ousts him as leader, it's not a non-confidence vote. Starmer gets fired, but still holds his Commons seat, and another Laborite becomes PM. If they pick a new leader who does not have a Commons seat, then some Labor MP in a safe seat will resign, and the new Labor leader runs in a by-election. This is established precedent.

The enormous inertia facing any serious enforcement of immigration law is not going to diminish. Economic self-interest, institutional hostility to enforcement including the lawless judiciary, zillions of dumb and brainwashed people showcasing their imbecilic moral narcissism ("oh, but the brown-eyed puppies, oh no, they're being terrorized!!!!!!) - which includes many "conservative" types - and of course the organized, lavishly funded, stunningly crazy and shameless Dems and affiliated orgs.
At least in my lifetime, I've never seen high-level politicos - repeatedly, shamelessly, aggressively - openly calling for, egging on or slyly endorsing violence against legitimate (and utterly routine) law enforcement activities. Even sheriffs and police chiefs strutting their refusal to aid fed LE, which is a sort of cultural norm that's been shattered in service to this disastrous obsession.

Kinda off topic.
Last year some bitch showed up here at our house to do a survey because our address was chosen to participate in some survey the Census people do during off years from the actual census.
We told her we are not participating in the survey unless it was a legitimate year for the census.
Whoa doggie, they harassed us for months telling us we had to agree to them coming to our home so they could find out how many guns we have. They harassed us for months, parking down the street watching when we were outside.
The bitch texted us that we were hindering her from completing her job for the year. We told her she could fuck off.
Finally it stopped. Well, guess what? We are now being harassed again this year.
My husband is on a rant, justifiably. He says the government won't pay the Coast Guard but they have no problem sending asshats to our home to find out how many guns we have.
We are again hiding from them. What a way to live.

My guess is Current Population Survey (CPS) unless you somehow ended up on the farm census/USDA Ag statistics list (depends on acreage, prior land use, and whether you declare to the IRS that you are running a farm).
I just looked at CPS current questionnaires and they are mainly about labor, demographics, and I did not see any questions about firearm ownership. You can find them online with full text btw. If you ran a gun business, then you get related questions.
In voting years, they ask about voting and the methods by which you voted (not who you voted for).
And yes, by law, they can compel you to answer the Census every ten years (which is a constitutional power to the fedgov to carry it out) but the case is more murky for other surveys.
They don't do push charges because often they end up going to other fed and state agencies to get enough information to 'impute' and that includes outside surveillance of your house, farmland, etc.
I spent time surveying farmers for the USDA and the Ag Census in grad school days for spending money in the summer and for the statistical experience.

It'll be funny if they redrew these with the assumption that their vote fraud remains intact. And it won't.

If they make DC a state, it violates the constitution AND gives some governor/legislature power over the federal gov't. (That sounds like a win-win-win for the Dems.)

I don't think that's really relevant. Fairfax has the voters to overwhelm the rest of the state even without fraud.
Republicans need presidential turnout in every election to even be close in Virginia.

Good question.
For some, they are wealthy enough to be protected from most of the crime (gated communities, premium services so they don't interact with the riffraff, etc.).
They go nuclear when it starts to touch them, such as that entertainment couple - Samantha Bee and hubby - who led a parent revolt when their elite NYC public school announced they would be bringing in poor kids from outside the neighborhood.

My folks - to the left of Maddow - live in Haymarket. In a retirement community. With strict access controls.
They order everything from amazon and have their groceries delivered. They will never, ever experience what they've forced onto the rest of us.

My experience from discussions with uber-Lefty colleagues: they genuinely don't see the connection between their policy intentions and the actual consequences.
Have had discussions where in one breath they call open border issues "fake news" and in the next, wonder why things have gotten so unsafe. They will reject anything that would identify these connections, they will have none of it "la la la la I can't hear you Orange man baaaaaad!"

Especially after the PA redistricting 👎 explicitly covering Southeastern PA a handful of years ago, I have great interest nationally.
(A major legal challenge to Pennsylvania's congressional map was initiated in June 2017 by the League of Women Voters, alleging unconstitutional gerrymandering of the 2011 map. This lawsuit, which continued into early 2018, resulted in the Pennsylvania Supreme Court striking down the map and ordering a new one for the 2018 elections.)

One of the Fired Fed Workers went on Caleb Hammer's Youtube show. He'd moved to Austin TX and got a tech job there. (While also getting 4000/mo in Military Disability when he only did 2 years in the Reserves and his "disability" is mild depression).

As much as I enjoy identifying these laid off USAID workers useless (and no doubt, a lot of them were), another big factor in them not finding work is that MANY Americans cannot find work thanks to foreigners being hired over citizens (H1B, OPT, etc.), massive layoffs in tech, entertainment/media industries, and more.
They are being laid off during a terrible job market, and I could not enjoy it more. Welcome to the Hell you helped create, lefty bureaucrats!!

Lizzy,
I mostly concur. But even in a bad job market, if one is willing to relocate, jobs are there. That's what I had to do in the dot.crash. And it turned out well. Many of the USAID dorks aren't willing to do that. Too bad for them.
Posted by: Diogenes at April 24, 2026 11:30 AM (2WIwB)
I guess that depends on whether his "debt" includes his mortgage. If it does, then people in expensive areas are routinely in hock to that amount and much more. If not, he's got a serious problem.

There are some practical problems. First, I don't think the DC democrats want to be overwhelmed by the NVA democrats as they would lose power. DC democrats have a really good deal going. And I think the NVA democrats do not want to pay for DC's money problems.
The next problem is schools. How is that funding going to work? Assume for grins, Arlington, Fairfax and others keep their independent school districts. They won't get money from Virginia at that point. Even with a higher tax base, DC will not send them as much as they now.
For these reasons alone, (and there are others), I don't think it works.

It is chock-a-block with FedGov drudges and AWFULs that would vote for a flaming dog turd if it had a D after its name. The schools are full of commie propagandists and groomers.

While exact census data for 1974 is not listed, interpolating between 1970 and 1980 indicates that in 1974, the white population was somewhere between 171,000 and 200,000 residents, comprising less than 27.7% of the total population as the city's overall population declined, a period known as "white flight" to the suburbs
Based on 2025 population estimates, the White population in Washington, DC is approximately 262,549, representing about 39.07% of the total population. This makes the white population the second largest racial group in the district, following the Black or African American population at roughly 43.26%

Connecticut - Trump got 42% No GOP House reps
Delaware - Trump got 42% No GOP House reps
Hawaii - Trump got 37% No GOP House reps
Massachusetts - Trump got 36% No GOP House reps
Rhode Island - Trump got 42% No GOP House reps
Vermont - Trump got 32% No GOP House reps
So whenever, you read Obama, or the rest of the political liars, tell you that the Virginia redistricting was "necessary" due GOP gerrymandering, know that they're full of crap.

After 2004 I looked at a bunch of precinct level results from Philly, and I focused on the ones that post 0 votes for Shrub.
They almost all were 100% for Kerry. Note - no votes for any of the third parties - no write ins, no Greens, no Libertarians, hell no votes for the "Free Drugs" party that ran that year.
Really? So, not only not 1 GOP voter but not even a vote for some leftwing third party? All these Philly voters just happen to be committed Dems and/or John Kerry lovers?

I have a friend who lived there for a number of years. I'm not sure what her husband did, but he was some kind of an engineer in a field I probably wouldn't understand. They are so glad to be back in rural VA where they both came from on her parents 200 plus year old cattle farm. I guess he just didn't talk about politics because they were both conservative even then and I think he worked for the government on an actual job- not like USAID.

There should be no schools in DC at all. Nor homes. Federally-owned dormitories for legislators, staff, and civil servants, all of whom must maintain an official domicile in a State. Restaurants, bars, and shops? Sure, all occupying premises leased from the Fed. Employees of these businesses have to live outside DC, and commute. A DC without any full-time residents needs no Congressional representation at all.

Simple fix for this - civilian fed gov employees don't get to vote. NGO employees funded by even $1 gov dollar don't get to vote.

But the fun thing is you get a new Fed chief in and Powell out, you can reconvene a grand jury and nail Powell's ass anyway. And the new Fed Chief might have every reason to help with the investigation.
And the prime culprit, fake GOP and retiring senator Tillis from N. Carolina eats humiliation galore.
Reportedly, Tillis on Judiciary is blocking changes to the blue slip policy by threatening to vote with teh Democrats to block it. Contrary to belief, the blue slip policy is NOT a Senate rule but committee rule and can be changed by a simple majority vote (and it has been since it was created to block integrationist judges in the South during Woodrow Wilson's administration).

He lied on factual matters to Congress--that is the question, not cost overruns.
If he lied to Congress under oath, what does that say about him lying to the American people?
This is the problem of our bureaucratic heads, particularly of the 'independent' agencies is that they are not accountable without a president being the sole head of the executive branch. There is nothing that makes the bureaucracy in the Constitution, an independent power check on the President. That is Congress and the Court's role, not bureaucrats.

Europe ultimately succeeded in surpassing the U.S.A. for quite a time in aviation during the early 20th century.
One reason is the Wright brothers were very litigious and tried to sue everybody over patent infringements. They were really dickheads about it, actually.

He spit out a valve and a gasket,
And stirred in the sump where he lay,
And then to his wondering comrades,
These brave parting words he did say:
"Take the magneto out of my stomach,
And the butterfly valve off my neck,
Extract from my liver the crankshaft,
There are lots of good parts in this wreck.
"Take the manifold out of my larynx,
And the cylinders out of my brain,
Take the piston rods out of my kidneys,
And assemble the engine again."

The wright brothers were very good at understanding and focusing on propulsion, control, and lift, separating those phenomenon completely, and doggedly pursuing incremental improvements in each. No one was approaching flight as an engineer would like they did. It was all just a "science" to study. Once they started, they were going to lead and be the first, as long as they didn't end up killing themselves too early, or running into financial ruin. No one else had the determination.
There is a lot of rewriting history being done regarding other people and their designs at the time. It was mostly all unworkable shit.

We can send a few bacteria along for the ride at that scale.
The metajets will eventually be lithographically created in huge numbers over large surfaces, so larger objects can be propelled by light.
Although current devices are only tens of microns in size, smaller than the width of human hair, the underlying physics suggests the approach could extend to much larger systems if sufficient optical power is available.
Fabricating the metasurfaces required nanoscale precision, with each feature carefully designed in shape, orientation, and placement.

That's seems like a small item, but it's quite significant. Probably means that the hardliners in the IRGC are assuming complete control.

From a ground level view in Texas, I think Cornyn has already given up. With the runoff coming up, Cornyn should be running ads, going around the state campaigning. But he's invisible, and doing nothing. I think he always expected to be given new terms by acclamation, and he has no idea how to act if he has to actually work for something.

By continuing to shoot missiles and whatever they can find at ships in the Strait and other countries in the region until we feel forced to send ground troops in to go root them out.
Sadly, the opposition in Iran appears to be too fractured and weak to ever offer any real internal opposition. We had hoped that wasn't true, but so far it appears to be. A big problem is that the IRGC has imported tens of thousands of Iraqi and Afghan militia to police the population, and they enjoy slaughtering civilians.

I thought you were speaking to the early days before first flight. They were solid then. What happened later after they were established, yeah I can agree with all that. And they lost a good bit of their engineering drive at that point. Innovation was later picked up overseas in the racing scene. You can't be a good innovative engineer and make a ton of money.

Understood. I was pointing out that the Iranian people themselves are not going to be enlisted to actively support the IRGC.

Herbert Draper
Can understand how it won a gold mental at the 1900 Paris Exposition with the dramatic of the wings, 'lighting,' and young bodies, but it's too pretty for a tragic aftermath of the Greek myth. (The wings, for one, look intact.)
His father, Daedalus, had fashioned wings from feathers and beeswax warning Icarus to escape Crete by flying in the middle path. Flying too low would soak the feathers in seawater, while flying too high would melt the wax with the sun's heat. Of course, Icarus ignored the warning, the beeswax melted, the feathers detached, and he drowned.
Cause & effect: Hubris and a fatal fall.

Pentagon email obtained by Reuters reveals US anger at Spain, UK as Iran war tensions persist.
By Al Jazeera Staff & Reuters
24 Apr 2026
An email has circulated within the United States Department of Defense laying out potential measures Washington could take against NATO allies it believes have not sufficiently supported its war on Iran, such as Spain and the United Kingdom, according to a US official quoted by the Reuters news agency.
The internal email considers options such as suspending Spain from NATO and re-evaluating Washington’s stance on the British Falkland Islands, which are also claimed by Argentina, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
(Much more.)

Eh.
I believe it remains the Department of War, and "officials speaking on condition of anonymity" often don't exist.

I think what happens in control breaks down and you have a lot of inertia. The people at the top can't quit because they know they are dead and are only fighting for time. The regular people would like it to end before they are invaded and half the woman in the Country get raped by the russians, but can't make it happen. The regular people have no leadership and no way to communicate, organize or coerce a peace settlement. So, unless someone in the military assumes the responsibility to negotiate a settlement it won't happen, and that someone has to have the juice to make it stick. Those people might all be dead, and even if they weren't they probably weren't going to make any settlement deals either. The world can adjust to the strait of hormuz being closed potentially forever. Alternatives exist or can be created although it will cost money and time. Since there is motivation to do it, it will get done.

The Morning Report — 4/ 24/26
Rural Virginians voted in higher numbers than in the 2024 presidential election. We all knew what was at stake.And so with that, I apologize to the good folk of the Old Dominion for doing their part. So if turnout, or my presumed lack thereof, wasn't the reason this passed, then how did it happen? Yes, the state and national GOP were and are useless both before and during election season as well as once in office in advancing the American agenda. So what happened here? Did the Democrats steal this one? and/or is there something else that accounts for this abomination that we're missing? Given what's at stake going forward to the midterms and beyond, we better get a handle on this, not that the aforementioned Grifting Oleaginous Parasite party will or even has the desire to, so there it is. As noted yesterday, this insanity is already in the courts and no doubt will ultimately wind up at the SCOTUS, which given the unpredictability of the court, that is the unpredictability primarily of non-overtly Marxist fraud hacks in black, allegedly conservative justices, the superstar Clarence Thomas for sure notwithstanding and maybe Samuel Alito as well. Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, Coney Barrett and Roberts are reliably unreliable at best. America as founded is on the precipice, because of the aforementioned as well as the direct action of the evil Democrats and those who lust after absolute power.
During the national debates of 1788, the great Virginian James Madison worried that mere “parchment barriers,” or constitutions, wouldn’t be enough to stop an “overbearing majority” from seeking power and stripping minorities of their voice and rights. What he envisioned, in other words, was someone like Abigail Spanberger. Virginia’s current governor recently signed a bill making her state the 18th to join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, a scheme to circumvent the Constitution and award all electoral votes to the presidential ticket with the highest national vote total — rather than to the candidate who won the state’s election. . . . . . Democrats have also convinced half the country that the Electoral College’s undercutting of the popular vote is an antiquated quirk of the Constitution. . . . . . Anyway, we are inching closer to a true constitutional crisis. The member states of the compact don’t have to send their votes to the “popular vote” winner until the coalition reaches an Electoral College majority of 270. . . . . . Then again, in the end, the Constitution is only as good as the people. And that doesn’t bode well for its survival these days.
Basta cosi. UPDATE: a few commenters have reminded me that Virginia allows MAIL-IN BALLOTS, and so that explains everything. I should've known as much, And so it goes!
Well, while the Left hand pushes this garbage, the Far Left hand is going for full on violent revolution.
Hasan Piker sparked backlash on Wednesday when he argued that Luigi Mangione allegedly killed UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson because he committed “social murder.”
...Piker, a Twitch streamer, said Americans “understand” why Luigi Mangione allegedly killed Thompson due to the CEO’s alleged role in “social murder.” “Friedrich Engels wrote about the concept of social murder. And Brian Thompson, as the UnitedHealthcare CEO, was engaging in a tremendous amount of social murder,” Piker claimed in an interview with the New York Times podcast The Opinions.
The ironically-named Piker blathered on about this:
...On the NYT podcast Piker and a writer from the New Yorker were asked to mull on such complex questions as whether it is OK to steal and whether it is OK to murder. . . . . .The answer to both of these questions appears to be “Yes.”Well at least we've seen the last of the SPLC... Meh, I'm not holding my breath. The Berlin Wall might have fallen, but the communists are alive and well and metastasizing right here at home! Have a great weekend!
On the first question it turns out that there are certain stores which it is more moral to steal from than others. Piker and his fellow guest agreed that Whole Foods is especially OK to steal from. A small business is less OK to steal from. But listeners were never treated to an explanation of which shops might be on the borderline between being a place where you could help yourself to a five-finger-discount and those where you couldn’t.
That is because neither Piker nor the other people in the studio seemed to have a very stable set of ethics.
And lastly, a quick shout-out and a huge thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

SCOTUS Weighs Whether US Has To Readmit Green Card Holders Who ‘Committed’ Crimes
- "DACA was an example of how we can be a nation of immigrants and a nation of laws," Obama said.

You’ll Never Find This Article On Any Big Tech News Site - So, how did the leftist, legacy media report on this? Reuters, the Washington Post, the Associated Press, and The Guardian all make it sound like the DOJ is going after the SPLC for the simple use of paid informants...CBS found a way to frame the story as the DOJ making charges over “investigations.” That’s like saying you’re being charged with a crime because you were arrested. The investigations were not the cause or the reason for the charges. The charges are over something the SPLC did, not what law enforcement did. . . Timing wise, this is excellent. It's still early enough in the Trump administration's second term that the DOJ under Trump will likely be able to see this one through to its inevitable conclusion. One we can only hope will involve the demise of a hate-mongering, propaganda-generating, money-wielding Southern Poverty Law Center.

Mail-in voting.
As long as that exists, Republicans will ALWAYS be at a disadvantage, no matter how many show up at the polls.
The Dems can simply stick their thumb on the scales via mail-in voting to achieve any result they desire.
They only failed with Trump in 2024 because they underestimated the ballots they needed to produce.

Silverstein added, “Today, the SPLC’s treasury bulges with $120 million, and it spends twice as much on fund-raising — $5.76 million last year — as it does on legal services for victims of civil rights abuses. The American Institute of Philanthropy gives the Center one of the worst ratings of any group it monitors, estimating that the SPLC could operate for 4.6 years without making another tax-exempt nickel from its investments or raising another tax-deductible cent from well-meaning ‘people like you.'”

My analysis of the Bexar County Republican primary early voting check-in file identified 4,110 voter records bearing State Identification numbers with fractional components — for instance, 1,253,115,467.7999 rather than a whole number. Texas State Voter ID numbers are administrative integers by definition. A fractional State ID is not a rounding artifact or a migration residue. It is an impossible value in any legitimate voter registration system. Every one of these 4,110 records was verified against the Texas statewide voter database as of September 2024. Not one fractional ID appears there.
The 4,110 records are not random noise. When sorted by State ID and the gap between consecutive records is calculated, the gap is the same value — 22,084.82189 — for every single pair in the sequence. The total span between the first and last record in the sequence, divided by that gap, yields exactly 4,109.0000 — a perfect integer with no remainder. This is mathematical proof that the records were deliberately constructed. A random or corrupted sequence cannot produce this result. Only purpose-written software can.

A parallel observation appears in Russian academic commentary describing the EU as a geopolitical entity based on ideology rather than organic national interests. The result is a state that fails at classical liberal functions — maintenance of infrastructure, law and order, price stability, national defence and facilitation of voluntary exchange — while excelling at narrative management and the suppression of dissent. This is not rhetorical exaggeration. It is observable.

“Do you want New York and LA deciding all the elections?” would seem to make the issue clear. “Yes, I would” tells you a brain dead leftist is at hand. At least that’s out of the way.
Imagine if there were World Elections. Everyone votes, but China and India decides everything. Does that make sense? Would that be a good idea? Had luck with that argument sometimes. The problem with Leftists is they don’t know what they want, they just think they know what they want, and generally aren’t prepared to think about it too much.

And yes mail in votes skew waaaaaay left. In my county, which is very red, mail in ballots go 75-25 Dem consistently. Republicans control all levers of power at the county level including voting so unless they’re secretly working with the Dems, it’s not fraud.
Every election they count mail in ballots first then, Early votes then Election Day votes. And the results go from 75-25 for the leftist candidate initially to 50/50 midway through counting to 60/40 for the Republican/cinservative in the end. There’s that much of a chasm in how each sides votes.

Like the "antifa professor" who fled the country after Trump said he would go after domestic terror funding.
Which makes me wonder: SPLC was organizing domestic hate group activities, were they also funding more aggressive hate crimes?

While I am still a retirement novice, I believe that keeping track of days - even if you don't much care which it is - is useful as it is often to your benefit to do business things during the week when the chirren are having to work.

One method I use is to schedule certain activities for specific days. Sunday's church (and steak), Monday I enjoy my evening cigar on the back patio, Tuesday is karaoke, Wednesday is cigar on the front patio, Thursday is a Zoom call with friend still behind enemy lines in California, followed maybe by a cigar, Friday is pizza, beer and cigar day (TGIF!), and Saturday is for checking alcohol and cigar inventory and resupplying as needed...

Did the SPLC infiltrate government or the other way around? It seems pretty obvious that however it happened the SPLC became the government or the deep state anyway.
Charlottesville, which Fuentes attended, was clearly a staged event to launch the Biden campaign and give it a platform to run on.

But by the same token, no reasonable person can deny that the tabloids (and even some major media outlets) are mainly interested in turning this whole story into a circus. They’re adding names to the list that obviously don’t belong, just so they can create paranoia and drive clicks."

I retired in December 2019, right before the Covid nonsense, and never looked back. I have always had many hobbies since childhood, including electronics which became my lifelong vocation, with me working as a television broadcast engineer the final 35 years of my working years. Now, I can spend time either tinkering with various electronic equipment at my workbench or "playing" with my large basement model railroad. Modeling the railroad layout gives the creative juices and the imagination a chance to exhibit themselves. I am never bored. A man has to have a hobby. Do whatever makes you happy. At nearly 79, I find my hobbies make the days very enjoyable.

Source tells me Candace Owens flew American Airlines from Charlotte, North Carolina to Leonardo da Vinci–Fiumicino Airport in Rome, Italy.
It was apparent Fuentes was in Italy after photos of him in Italy surfaced online.
Those two like to pretend like they hate each other, but now they are both in Italy at the same time…

Lots of routine speculation who, if anyone, might retire from the U.S. Supreme Court relatively soon. Was surprised that much of the speculation suddenly circled around Chief Justice of the U.S., John Roberts, age 71.

Diley, TX - After nearly 10 months in immigration detention following the deadly Colorado firebombing case, a federal judge has ordered the immediate release of the suspect’s ex-wife and their five children from the Dilley Detention Center in South Texas.
The family, identified as Melissa El Gamal, an Egyptian mother, and her five children, was detained by the Department of Homeland Security shortly after her ex-husband, 45-year-old Mohammed Soliman, was arrested. Soliman is accused of attacking a group of pro-Israel demonstrators in Boulder, Colorado, in June 2025. One person was killed, and 14 were injured." (Much more.)
🤷Their lives were less ruined than many families with relatives punished by the DOJ, re: Jan. 6th.
The DOJ & FBI heavily relied on crowdsourced intelligence, "sedition hunters," to identify & track January 6th suspects. These citizens scoured social media, analyzed video, and used open-source intelligence (OSINT) to build dossiers, resulting in over 1,200 charged individuals, many identified by volunteer efforts.

You can't paint a bigger target on your back than that, really.
ANTS - the agency is really called that - wouldn't say how many people were affected by the breach, but a hacker is suddenly offering an ANTS database with 19 million records for sale, so at a guess, around 19 million.
- The command line tool for the Bitwarden password manager was compromised. (Socket)
So. Turns out maybe you can paint a bigger target on your back than just being a national identity register.

That school system is grooming a lesbian driver, who is very nice, but not a leader, to be the new Transportation Director.
I was specifically excluded from that job the last time it opened, although the best qualified. They wanted a corrupt liberal woman in charge. She went a million dollars over budget her first year.
Could not compete with that to make friends of my superiors.

When the world shut down over a 99.9999% survivable virus, I had to tell a few dozen rig hands they were out of a job.
Then I had to tell even more frac hands. Then snubbing hands.
Then I went home to wait for my layoff.
Then I spent 6 months applying for jobs with no interviews because corporate America had banned White men in honor of Saint George Floyd, Patron Saint of Fentanyl.
A great Twitter friend who I am indebted to forever got me a job with a 25% pay cut, and I had to work physically harder than I had in a decade.
Anyway. Nobody in news media ever reached out for my story. And it wasn’t a unique story, I was one of a couple hundred thousand guys going through this.

I could see that being a deal-killer for me as well. In our yearly mandatory training there's some of that nonsense, but for the most part in the day-to-day work, I don't really encounter it, for which I am thankful and relieved.
If I had to deal with that particular "sand in the gears" every day, I don't think I'd re-up the following year, and would go find something else to do.
The attrition in this industry is ... higher than I expected it would be. I've seen a lot of drivers just quit without notice. Hiring and training new ones seems to be getting more and more difficult, and a lot of that is probably due to the fact that our real cost of living seems to be going up 5 to 10% each year, while wage increases (if we get them) work out to maybe 1% per year if we're "lucky".
So now we have a multitude of positions that need filling in order to satisfy the routes we have locked in for next year, and I'm seeing a LOT of asks from the company to the drivers along the lines of "If you know ANYONE that you think might want to drive for us, please tell them."

John Deere’s right-to-repair battles became a national story when farmers discovered they couldn’t fix their own equipment without dealer-authorized software. Lawsuits followed, then legislation. ... Deere eventually made concessions, but the damage was done. A generation of farmers learned exactly how much control they’d surrendered by buying machines loaded with proprietary code.

MBAs in corporations want cash flow. They are short term thinkers.
Pragmatic people want ownership. Private ownership is the basis for a thriving economy. Renting is so socialistic, associated with poverty.
This is playing out all over society with arts (Youtube etc), software, and farm equipment.

I slept until the alarm just now. Coffee first, then a workout on the treadmill downstairs; breakfast; then a trip to look at two houses. There is a third which popped up yesterday, and I'd rather see it than the one in the small town nearby; but I'm here only today and tomorrow, so it may be too late to schedule it. I'll text my realtor lady and see. The one close by checks my "garage" box, but no basement, while this new third one has both.
I'll call Progressive, which has my renter's insurance and my car, give them the addresses, and see if they can tell me what my homeowner's insurance would be.

No. I just bought a 2nd home in AZ. Went under contract, realtors are dealing with all the inspections etc. I am notified by email how the process is going. I flew out last weekend to have a look see and order furniture. I will fly out again for the closing ( I don't have to, I could do it from here) but want to be there for the furniture delivery. As long as you have a good realtor you would be fine.

Getting away from sensors and screens is good, but don't think for a moment that owners won't have to know a lot, and also know somebody. My great-uncle was kind of famous because he once re-forged a cracked iron engine block for a guy in situ, straddling a flooded ditch with a campfire to weld it. Not what our current techs call high-tech, but a technology just the same.

The third, and the small-town one, each have 4 bedrooms -- way more than I need or want to keep up. But I love the way they look inside and out. The ranch is nice, though, and I could add a shaded patio in the back.

For a small lot, it would be cheaper to hire out the mowing, as they have the equipment and deal with maintenance. No capital costs needed.

Super rare lobster 1 in 50 million split-colored lobster found in Massachusetts
A two-toned lobster is set to make a splash at the Woods Hole Science Aquarium in southeastern Massachusetts. Lobstermen on the fishing vessel Timothy Michael caught the rare split-color (bilateral) lobster off the coast of Cape Cod on April 16 and donated it to the museum. This rare split coloration occurs in roughly 1 in 50 million lobsters. “As soon as we saw this beautiful and unique lobster and were offered the chance to be her potential home, we immediately started thinking about which tank to put her in and began preparations to pick her up from Wellfleet Shellfish Company in Eastham, about an hour’s drive from Woods Hole,” aquarium biologist Julia Studley tells Popular Science. “When something that rare comes across our docks, we see it as part of our role to share it with the broader community—Woods Hole Science Aquarium was the perfect fit for this lucky lobster,” Wellfleet Shellfish Company Chief Operating Officer Dan Brandt also tells Popular Science.Oh wow, I'm currently a short drive away from Woods Hole - maybe I'll go see this thing tomorrow!
The team will continue to care for the crustacean during construction. Studley says it will receive a name once they get to know a bit more about its personality. Since lobsters may live up to 100 years, they want to make sure that they get the name right. The crustacean will go on display when the aquarium reopens after a major renovation in early 2027.I guess I won't be seeing it tomorrow. ----- Trolling or just annoying?

Working remotely was supposed to be the arrangement that gave professionals their autonomy back, the ability to manage their own time, set their own pace, and not have someone hovering over their shoulder every thirty minutes. And then some people took that concept and decided it meant calling their colleague five times a day until the colleague's phone becomes a source of genuine dread.Can you follow this story at the link?

I did that once for a GF for her Explorer. The squalling was pretty bad so we went to the NAPA store to see if they had the pully, and they didn't. I reset the replacement bearing with two blocks of wood and judicious taps with a hammer.

For a few years now, I've noticed very few of the well-designed resealable food packs (the flat kind, for cheeses and meats) actually can be opened without scissors. They still have the little "starter" slit on both ends, but they don't "work" - meaning they don't tear very far, or don't tear low enough to actually allow opening of the package. Many of these also don't reseal very well now, either.
These are brilliantly designed things, very accustomed to them going back how long - 20-25 years? But most simply don't work any more. Manufacturing quality? Gauge or quality of the plastic material? But there's no doubt about it. I just instantly get the scissors now, for all but a few brands. Weird.

The Trooper told him he'd taken off his seat belt while driving and had just put it back on, to which he said, "If you can show me how it's possible for me to take off while driving, I'll happily pay for the ticket."
Cops like that should have millstones tied to their necks and thrown in the Mariana Trench.

Naw, the snail sucking fart darter needs the water to run into the ocean. Screw the farmers and people. As a matter of fact, Kali wants to get rid of dams and go back to a more natural effect, except, for some reason, in places like the Hetch Hetchy.

My friend and I are Lubbock-bound tomorrow to attend the George Strait concert on Saturday night. Yes, Hubby and I just saw him in Austin, but at the time that I bought the Lubbock tickets, Strait didn't have any Austin shows scheduled. Hubby said he would rather go to Austin, so I invited my friend to go instead.
This will be a dry run for our NYC trip - we will see if we can handle each others' snoring this weekend 😂😂😂
In other news, I just found out today that the pump that was put in to battle my cancer in December can only be used for 6 months - after that, bad things start happening with the liver. So we are going to have to play it by ear in another couple of months. I may end up going back on the medication that made me lose my hair and made my nails and eyesight all wonky for a few months and then try going back on the pump regimen.
Which sucks, because the pump is working so well for me right now. My hair is starting to grow back and I can actually see well enough to drive myself places rather than depending on Paul to drive me everywhere.
We will have to wait to see what happens when I go off of this medication.

A friend of mine was diagnosed with multiple myeloma around 23 years ago. The medical manuals at that time basically said if god is your friend and shows up with his personal doctor you might get 2 years. He got 18 years because of experimental drugs and other cutting edge stuff they did. He went into remission for a long time. He was a lot older than me so he eventually got into his 70's when it finally got him. Still, 18 years he got. You just keep fighting and kicking it's ass like he did.

I've got a lot going on and am stressing a bit. I'm prepping my house to rent it out for the summer, prepping to take the ferry to Bellingham with as much stuff as I can fit in my car. I've already mailed eleven boxes of books.
My car is making a noise I don't like and I have a 13 hour drive.
My hermitage is $45,000 more than I was expecting.
So it was nice to come in here and listen to all your chatter. I love you, you odd bunch of Morons.

I, too, have personal goodies that I have stashed away around here ... somewhere.
I watched a video in which Richard Feynman opined that a person needs to keep fifteen difficult to solve problems in mind and, whenever that person learns something new in any field whatsoever, they need to trot out those fifteen problems one by one and ask, "Does what I just learned aid me in any way with solving this problem?" Things deemed precious but now lost can be placed on that list, I am sure!

I pray for nothing but the best outcome for those here afflicted with difficult to cure conditions.
My sister, who posts here but infrequently, was diagnosed with breast cancer a couple of decades ago. It was tough sledding for her for about five years and the disease went into remission (without surgery).
She's remained clear of signs that it came back since that time.
What I recall of her during that period was her being upbeat and confident that she was going to beat the disease.

No... The belt itself wouldn't cause the noise. I retract anything I said that would indicate *just* the belt!
Any component that is driven by that belt, could be the noise maker. And once the component is fixed-- you should also replace the belt.

They're contractually required to present themselves as exactly the opposite, usually. If the paparazzi ever photos an "Idol" on a date with someone, their career is over. They "graduate" from their idol group and maybe move on to a "normal" music career. Or they just vanish from the public eye and become a housewife.
That's the starting premise of the anime "Oshi No Ko." An idol gets pregnant, and has to go into hiding for several months (from when she starts "showing"), and then has to raise her children in secret.
And then it gets worse.

On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines on the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner, O long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

What so proudly you stand for with orchestras playing?
While the whole congregation with voices that blend
Strike the grand hym and then torture and slay it?
Tis the Star Bangled Banner they're trying to sing
But they don't know the words to the precious old thing.
How they bellow and shout when they're first starting out,
But the dawn's early light finds them floundering about.

J.J.'s Morning Report - (In part) Aside from Democrats, speaking of invasive parasitic worms that destroy everything in their path:
A destructive, fast-moving invader is wriggling its way into yards across the US, and officials say Californians should be on alert. Agriculture authorities are sounding the alarm over the Asian jumping worm, a highly invasive species that’s already been spotted in multiple states, including the Golden State. . . The worms are easy to spot, and hard to forget.
But babies, dogs, cats, etc. Cafes are always a delight & a very good end of the day.

Texas voter IDs are integers. Whole numbers. No decimals, ever. The Bexar County primary poll book contained 4,110 IDs like this:
1,253,115,467.79993
That alone proves something fishy. But the math goes further — and it’s airtight.
When those 4,110 records are sorted in order, the spacing between every consecutive pair is 22,084.82189 — the same non-integer value, repeating 4,109 times.

Posted by: Eromero at April 23, 2026 08:35 PM (LHPAg)
Every one of these fractional IDs was created after polls closed — and we can prove it from the IDs themselves. The gap value of 22,084.82189 was derived from the alphabetical positions of specific voters within the completed check-in list. Those positions cannot be known until every voter has checked in and the full list is in hand. The fractional IDs could not have existed before the genuine list existed. They are timestamped by their own construction.
The records were not random fabrications. Each was anchored to a real registered voter. 735 real people each had 5 or 6 synthetic duplicates generated in their name — up to 4,110 fraudulent ballot opportunities in a single county primary, executed by someone with back-end write access to the poll book system.

"The injection mechanism is elegant and deliberately concealed. Poll pad systems suppress decimal display for voter ID fields because no legitimate ID has a fractional component, so poll workers would have seen the synthetic records displayed as ordinary integers, indistinguishable from real ones. Each of the 4,110 records would have generated a ballot. Once cast, those ballots are anonymous and irretrievable. The fractional component also functions as a precise deletion key: a single database query filtering for non-integer State IDs would return exactly these records and no others, leaving the permanent voter roll showing 735 legitimate voters who each voted once — with no surviving trace of the fraud.
That deletion appears to have occurred. On or before February 25, 2026, all 14 CSV files in the Bexar County early voting dataset were simultaneously replaced in a synchronized 78-second automated batch operation. All 14 files are now clean. The original injected file survives only because it was captured and distributed to precinct chairs on February 19, before the cleanup."

I wonder if this affected Brandon Herrera's primary. He got to a runoff position, but it looked like Tony Gonzales was going to put up a fight. Then the story of the suicide of Tony's staffer took off, and Tony wound up resigning. Which screwed over the voters, because there's probably not going to be a special election and therefore they're without representation for seven months.

No "curing" of ballots (FFS, what an idiotic idea, incredible it ever existed). Voters who can't properly fill out a paper ballot don't deserve their vote to be counted. Obviously.
We're done. Oh - total transparency, in this internet and electronics can be useful. All polling places, all tabulation operations, on webcams open to all. Emails from precincts/districts/counties, whatever, related to actual vote tabulations are public, posted on a website when they're sent.
This (apart from the webcam part) will allow the US to *catch up* with 95% of the world where real elections take place. Currently we have a system less secure, and less deserving of confidence, than all but the worst/diciest 3rd wold s**tholes.

It’s not mixing Bulg, if Jesus is overlayed in their entire life. It’s who they are, and giving Glory for being able to use the gifts God bestowed on them is the right thing to do. Jesus being at the center of these men’s lives, and others who aren’t sports figures, may very well be what saves our country.
I have had to grow into this perspective- I was definitely one of those go to Church Sunday, I did my due diligence. But that is the entirely wrong lens, Jesus expects us to worship and learn in a church setting, but he also expects us to apply that in how we live. We will get it wrong, of course, but we should get back up and try again.

What would be really fun to watch is if it’s some really sensitive tech that Iran bribed some Chinese general to give them, but Xi didn’t know about it.
It reminds me of how Kim executed a General who’d displeased him by having him sit in the middle of an athletic field and unloading on him with a quad barrel AA gun.
Oh and all the other generals and staff were ordered to to sit in the bleachers and watch.

He may not answer the way I want but I believe He cares and involves Himself in the ways He judges to be appropriate. I do not presume to be able to categorize what His priorities are. Humans are small by our very nature but that doesn't mean He doesn't notice or care.

NEWS YOU CAN USE: Salmon given cocaine work harder than those without cocaine, according to researchers at the University of No Fuckin' Duh, Chester.
Salmon exposed to cocaine swim almost twice as far as those without, study shows Salmon exposed to cocaine in the water swim longer distances than those that go without, according to a study released this week.I love you, Science.
How much medical-grade cocaine do you think is "naturally" lost in experiments like this? Is a 20% unexplained loss of cocaine a reasonable figure? Steven Greene had a good headline at Instapundit: THEY ALSO WON'T STOP TALKING ABOUT THEIR NEW IDEA FOR A TECH STARTUP. Thanks to Chuck Martel. Also in from the University of No Fuckin' Duh, Chester: Germany's back-to-back abandonment of both coal and then nuclear was a "huge mistake," leading authorities say.
Cocaine use is on the rise worldwide, with the U.N. reporting an estimated 25 million people used the stimulant in 2023 and the drug being increasingly found in waterways. Joint research released Monday by scientists at Australia's Griffith University and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences studied how the drug affected the movements of wild fish in their natural habitats. Researchers took 105 wild Atlantic salmon in Sweden's Lake Vattern and exposed them to both cocaine and benzoylecgonine -- a metabolite created by the drug in the liver -- and then tracked their movements. They found the river-dwellers exposed to the drugs traveled 1.9 times farther per week than their clean-living control cousins. Those exposed to the by-product also swam 7.6 miles farther, the study found.
German energy minister calls nuclear phase-out 'huge mistake' Katherina Reiche, Germany's economy and energy minister, discussed the likely impact on the country's economy if the Iran conflict continues - as well as the need for a "correction" to energy policies in Europe, at a conference in the USA. Speaking at the CERAweek international energy event in Houston, Texas, she said that prices of petrol, diesel and jet fuels in Germany were spiking "but we don't see any scarcities in terms of volume - but if the conflict doesn't end we [will] see this probably later in April or May". She added that the longer the crisis continues the more stress will be put on the "fragile recovery of Germany's economy".Please please please Trump keep the conflict going at least through June. (So close to Pride Month!) Remember when people used to respect Germans as sober-minded and good at things? Ye Olden Times. Neat idea about how to gerrymander Virginia from the federal level: Cancel the old, Racist separation of Northern Virginia from DC because they wanted to keep our Black Brothers in chains.
Here's the history. In 1790, both Virginia and Maryland ceded territory to create the new national capital. Virginia's portion -- what is now Arlington County and the city of Alexandria -- remained part of the District of Columbia until 1847, when Congress returned it to Virginia. The reason? To protect slavery. The District had abolished it, and Virginia slaveholders didn't want to give up their slaves. Democrats love to talk about the legacy of slavery to justify tearing down statues, renaming buildings, etc. -- to be consistent, they should give that piece of land back to the District. The legal questions over this retrocession have never gone away. President William Howard Taft and others argued that it was unconstitutional and pushed to reclaim the land for D.C. However, the Supreme Court has never definitively settled the matter. Mizelle's proposal is for Trump to issue an executive order declaring that slavery-motivated retrocession unconstitutional. That order wouldn't need to resolve everything on its own -- it would immediately trigger litigation and force federal courts to finally answer the question: Do Arlington and Alexandria legally belong to Virginia or to the District of Columbia? The legal footing here is rock solid, but the cultural argument is just as strong.Obviously, with Alexandria and Arlington re-added to DC -- as it should be -- Virginia would be permanently red again. Oh, it would lose a couple of seats in the next redistricting, but worth it. But wouldn't DC pick up a couple of electoral votes? No, not necessarily. DC's electoral votes are established by legislative fiat, not by a count of DC's population. Storied men's haberdasher (did I use that right?) Brooks Brothers has gone bankrupt because, as Stephen Green says, "American men now insist on dressing like 14 year olds into their dotage." So they're trying something new. But as the 55-year-olds dressing like 14-year-olds say: This ain't it, Chief. Remember in the late eighties when we thought, for literally five minutes, that two-tone jeans -- half blue, half white or half blue, half black -- were rilly rilly cool? I remember owning a pair just because they went out of fashion so quickly that stores were choked with unsalable jeans and I picked up a pair for like six buck. And then I didn't wear them, because they're stupid. And what the hell, it was only six buck. Well Brooks Brothers remembers.
More whining about extravagantly overpaid USAID workers -- formerly making $272,000 per year, courtesy of the American taxpayer -- now working for $19 per hour in the private sector.
As this guy says: That's perfect evidence that you were always worth $19 per hour.Having to take a pay cut when moving from the public to private sector is a pretty good indicator that you were overpaid. https://t.co/AilCKaCenV

@Oilfield_Rando When the world shut down over a 99.9999% survivable virus, I had to tell a few dozen rig hands they were out of a job. Then I had to tell even more frac hands. Then snubbing hands. Then I went home to wait for my layoff. Then I spent 6 months applying for jobs with no interviews because corporate America had banned White men in honor of Saint George Floyd, Patron Saint of Fentanyl. A great Twitter friend who I am indebted to forever got me a job with a 25% pay cut, and I had to work physically harder than I had in a decade. Anyway. Nobody in news media ever reached out for my story. And it wasn't a unique story, I was one of a couple hundred thousand guys going through this.

I hate this. People (not Ace, the author he quotes) write this without ever thinking those two numbers have absolutely NO RELATIONSHIP AT ALL to each other in the form presented. If a base distance were provided right there, it would at least be figurable. But not like that.
I also now wonder if the author really meant "1.9 times farther" or "1.9 times as far." Because most journalists do not have any idea of the difference in those two phrases.

My dad worked for IBM for many years. Brooks Brothers was the official IBM suit. It was basically a uniform and IBM was hardly unique back then. They owned a couple generations of men in some areas who wore suits to work 5 days a week. Habit.
And then fashion changed and BB didn't. For the first half of my career I wore a suit everyday. Probably count on one hand how many times I've worn once since.

I worked for a 500+ lawyer firm back in the '90s doing work for big Fortune 500 clients. The endless-and-never-resolved controversy there was whether the firm would allow "casual Fridays." It was suits and ties every day and for about half of the partners, the idea of coming to work in khakis and an open-neck shirt was apostasy.
The firm dissolved before the burning issue was ever finally decided.

That's the thing. There were rules back then that in certain jobs you wore a suit. At IBM it was a suit and white shirt. I doubt it was ever written but everyone knew the rule and everyone followed it. They weren't kidding, dress conformity was a thing. BB was a safe choice.
I still remember when the company I was working for at the time had our first casual dress day. It was dress slacks, oxford shirt and a sport coat. Nothing flashy or actually casual. Now practically anything goes.

The first dead person I saw was one of my grandmothers.
My father insisted I go up to her coffin and touch her. I didn't want too but he was insistent. She was cold and I told him she's not the grandmother I remember.

Let's take the highest alleged salary:
IF Senior Executive Service (SES), an actual Federal employees, members do not receive locality pay. Unlike General Schedule (GS) employees, SES pay is a single, nationwide rate based on performance rather than geographic location, meaning the pay range for a DC-based SES executive is the same as elsewhere.
2026 SES Pay Range: As of January 2026, the basic pay range is to a maximum of $228,000 (with a certified performance appraisal system) or $209,600 without.
Total aggregate pay is capped, often tied to the salary of the Vice President, per OPM.gov.
----
BUT Based on reports regarding the dismantling of USAID in early 2025, individuals with high salaries in that range (such as $272,000) were primarily working as senior executives, senior vice presidents at USAID-funded NGOs, or specialized contractors, rather than standard federal employees.
Solution: Go get a GS-7, Step 1 job ($57736) & work upwards, whiners.

China Made a Ton of Risky Loans to Third-World Nations to Bring Them Under Its Sphere of Influence. Now Those Loans are Turning Bad.
China Wants the US to Bail It Out.
Why Trump is doing this, I have no idea. I saw someone saying that he inherited this position from Biden's Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, but that doesn't seem like a good reason to keep it.
I think this means that the money we pour into the IMF through this "quota" will be used according to how the multinational organization IMF decides -- and we'll have no say. And whose power over the use of those funds will increase? Well, China's, of course.
President Trump is scheduled to visit Beijing in May for a summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping, and he will come bearing at least one surprising gift: A budget request to Congress to hand more money to Mr. Xi's friends at the International Monetary Fund. We told you recently about the Trump Administration's fiscal 2026 request that Congress endorse a U.S. quota increase of 50%, equivalent to about $55 billion. The quota is a country's contribution to the fund. Congress didn't pass the White House request, but the Administration includes it again in its recent fiscal 2027 proposal. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen initiated the request in the Biden era, and it's hard to understand why the Trump Treasury would endorse it. It's true, as Treasury says, that the U.S. receives an "interest-bearing claim on the IMF" for those assets. But it's not a wash because the interest rate doesn't compensate for the cost of funds or the risk.
More harmful is the cost to U.S. control over IMF resources, which Treasury conceals... What Treasury doesn't disclose is the hit to U.S. power when the IMF gets more of its resources from equity than debt. The fund's use of debt via New Arrangements to Borrow requires 85% approval of voting shares. Since the U.S. has almost 16% of those shares, it has a veto over the use of those resources. It also has an effective veto over Bilateral Borrowing Agreements. But it has no veto power over use of equity--that is, the quota resources.
I don't know if Trump made this promise to get China to agree to something else. But China's sending dual-use materials to Iran after having vowed that they would not, so I don't see the value of a CCP promise.
Mr. Xi wants a greater role for China in all multilateral institutions at the expense of U.S. influence. Shifting total fund resources toward quotas would shrink U.S. veto power over IMF resources to 38% from about 60%. IMF managing director Kristalina Georgieva said recently she's optimistic Congress will pass the increase this year that will bolster the fund's $1 trillion in lending capacity from its own resources, rather than from borrowing over which the U.S. has more influence. That will be welcome news in Beijing, which wants to use the fund to rescue the array of distressed Chinese loans around the world. Let's hope Congress says no again.

@bonchieredstate 5h China went around Africa and South America making predatory loans in an attempt to make money and seize infrastructure for the most useful part of its lifespan. And now it wants others to pay for its bad bets. We hold 16% of the vote over the IMF. The answer should be no.

I thought it was understood that the CCP made the loans to Third World countries with the expectation that the dummies wouldn't be able to make the payments, and China would take possession of collateral such as land and natural resources. Now China's original plan is a problem for them? The slow economy means they can't use what they grabbed?
I don't think we're going to give China something for nothing. Everything Trump has done goes the other way.

Article 1, Section 8 says: "[The Congress shall have Power] To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization". The implicit idea is that "Common Law" definition of "naturalization" is used here. So, "national citizenship" is in view, because Congress can make laws to establish the naturalization standards, whether admission is just to a state or not.
That's what the author (might even have been Levin, I don't remember) says wasn't laid out in the Constitution, but Congress had to define the parameters of it.
Were it not that Congress has become so useless as anything bug Grifter Club, I would actually prefer the representatives of the people when two branches come to blows, then give more discretion to the Judicial branch in suits like we do these days.

Even Hugh Hewitt -- a squish "center-right" conservative who worked for Nixon (researching for books) after the latter's exile to San Clemente -- has claimed in hindsight that it was a mistake to believe that "free trade" with Chy-na would turn them into capitalist allies.
But the idea to try and separate the Commie empires of China and the Soviet Union at the time was a worthwhile objective (hell, even one I shared as a mere teenage idiot) ...

In Utah, Democrat Women Allege That the Latina Lesbian Running for Congress Sexually Molested Them, Forcing One Up Against the Wall and Demanding She "F***" Her Like a Man: Plus, More Democrat Female Predators
Democrat feminist and Latina lesbian accused of sexual harassment of women, including one woman she forced against the wall while gripping the victim's throat.
" " " Allegedly. " " " (Touches finger to nose.) What the **** is going on in Utah?Four people from Utah political circles -- three of them elected officials -- accuse Eva Lopez Chavez, a Salt Lake City Council member and Democratic congressional candidate, of restraining them during what they considered unwanted sexual advances. Victoria Petro, who is Lopez Chavez's fellow City Council member; Maggie Regier, who worked on Stan Penfold's mayoral campaign in 2019; Hoang Nguyen, who is now a state representative; and Jen Plumb, now a state senator, described their allegations in interviews with The Salt Lake Tribune. Each person said their allegations arose in social settings before Lopez Chavez joined the City Council in 2023. Petro, Regier and Nguyen said they told others at the time, which The Tribune confirmed. None of the four reported the interactions to police or spoke about them publicly until now. They said they decided to come forward, in part, because of Lopez Chavez's candidacy for Congress in Utah's new 1st District and after her reaction to newly disclosed online posts that fellow candidate Nate Blouin made between 2009 and 2015, including statements that minimized sexual assault. ... In September 2022, Petro said, she and other council members went to a party after the wedding of a former council member. At the event, Petro alleges, Lopez Chavez grabbed her by the throat, "pushed me back against a pillar so that my back was against the wall and told me, 'The only reason I still f--- men is because a woman hasn't shown me what I really want.'"I seem to remember a lot of male sexual assailants contacting their victims later and using the same kind of language -- "hey, I heard you remember things differently than I do, let's meet so I can convince you you're insane."
Petro said she froze, but remembers pushing Lopez Chavez's hand away and walking away. She said she told Puy about what she considered to be an assault. Puy confirmed she talked to him shortly after the party, and, he said, Petro "was kind of shocked at what had happened." In her interview with The Tribune, Petro asked, "If a man had done that to me, would there be a question if it was assault or not?" When Lopez Chavez ran for City Council in 2023, Petro said, she told a few of Lopez Chavez's supporters about what she alleges occurred. Once Lopez Chavez won her council race, the two women met for lunch and Lopez Chavez, Petro said, told her to stop telling people her story. "At that point, I said, 'You shouldn't have given me a story to tell,'" Petro said. "It's my story." ... State Sen. Jen Plumb, D-Salt Lake City, alleges Lopez Chavez pushed her against a wall at a friend's birthday party in November 2022. "It absolutely was a sexual advance. She leaned into me, grabbed onto my a--, got up in my face and said in my ear, 'You're sure you're straight?'" Plumb said. "I just pushed her away. Come on. Knock it off." Plumb said she mostly dismissed it at the time, but now sees it differently. "I've got to do some work on why I saw it that way, but I would not be comfortable with someone doing that to my daughter, to my mom, my best friends," Plumb said, "and I'm not comfortable with it being brushed away anymore." ... Plumb provided The Tribune with what she said were her most recent text messages from Lopez Chavez. One was an invitation to an event in June 2025, which Plumb said she declined.
She received the second one in February, she said, when Lopez Chavez wrote she had "heard some feedback regarding how you express our professional relationship that doesn't align with my experience" and wanted to meet to discuss it. Plumb, according to the messages she shared, did not respond.
Nguyen, who is now a state representative, said Lopez Chavez attended a campaign event for Plumb in the Avenues neighborhood of Salt Lake City in 2022. As Nguyen was leaving the party, she said, Lopez Chavez asked for a ride to her car. After she drove a few blocks, Nguyen said, Lopez Chavez told her to pull over -- which she did, believing they had arrived at her car. "Next thing I know she has leaned over and she's on top of me, holding my shoulders down," Nguyen said in an interview. "I said, 'What are you doing?' And she said, 'Kiss me,'" Nguyen said. "She said, 'I'm not going to get off you until you kiss me.' I gave her a peck and she got off." The next day Nguyen told a mutual friend. The person, a prominent Salt Lake City business owner and community volunteer, confirmed the version of events to The Tribune, which agreed not to name the business owner because they fear retribution.That one might not be all that serious, compared to the others, but it does demonstrate a consistent pattern of aggressive sexual assault. She even goes after they/thems.
Regier, who uses they/them pronouns, was working on Stan Penfold's mayoral campaign in 2019 when they went to a Human Rights Campaign fundraising event that Lopez Chavez was also attending, they said. Regier said Lopez Chavez was being "flirty" and led them around the room by the wrist. Regier tried to deflect Lopez Chavez's attention and excuse herself from the situation, they said, but Lopez Chavez pulled Regier "into a literal corner in the hallway" and pinned them against the wall, refusing to let them leave. A friend of Regier's stepped in and separated them, they said. Later, Regier was with a friend on the dance floor, they said, "and [Lopez Chavez] was kind of trying to grab on to me and another friend physically stepped between us and pushed her off of me and was like, 'Leave Maggie alone.'"So close to Pride Month?!?! SO CLOSE TO PRIDE MONTH, EVA?!!
She denies these allegations -- um, facts -- through her lawyer. Her lawyer, without an ounce of shame, peddles the same "I have other emails in which the victims do NOT accuse her of sexual assault, so that means no sexual assault must have occurred" line that has not worked for male offenders for a decade. She's Average-Plus looking, a Chipolte 5.25 (they use metric), which I do not think is much consolation to the straight women she sexually assaulted.
Salt Lake City Councilwoman Eva Lopez Chavez, now a Democrat congressional candidate, once described herself as “a Mexican lesbian shaping downtown.”

A Democratic lawmaker was quietly investigated by the House Ethics Committee for allegedly pursuing an "inappropriate relationship" with a staffer -- but the probe never substantiated the claims and was closed without releasing any public findings. Rep. Alma Adams, a 79-year-old North Carolina pol who has served the state's 12th District comprising Charlotte since 2014, was slapped with the ethics complaint in 2022 for getting "extremely close" to her aide Sandra Brown, NOTUS first reported. Aides who spoke with ethics investigators were questioned about Brown's visits to Adams at a one-bedroom apartment in DC -- and her self-published novel that describes a quarrel between a woman and her lover's husband, according to the outlet. Aides who spoke with ethics investigators were questioned about aide Sandra Brown's visits to Rep. Alma Adams at a one-bedroom apartment in DC, NOTUS reported. The book, "BossLady: The Legend of Sydney Donovan Begins," was published under the pseudonym SaVette Brown, though the author's Amazon page identifies her as "Sandra Austin Brown." Brown had claimed the fictional account "was loosely based on her life," a source with direct knowledge of the remarks mentioned to NOTUS. Their alleged relationship also created a "hostile work environment," the report stated, with Brown weighing in on key decisions and even overruling higher-ranking staffers. People familiar with the probe told the outlet that half a dozen ex-Adams aides were interviewed between January and September 2023 in both Charlotte and Washington, DC, after "a high-ranking staffer" filed the complaint with the Ethics Committee. That same year, Brown was promoted to deputy chief of staff and later was also made district director of the congresswoman's Charlotte-based office.

Speaking of predatory lesbians, an old quote from actress Anna Kendrick has new import now that Australian police are investigating Pop Retard Katy Perry for allegedly rubbing her dirty vaiszh on Ruby Rose's face.
"She saw me 'resting' on my best friends lap to avoid her and bent down, pulled her underwear to the side and rubbed her disgusting vagina on my face until my eyes snapped open and I projectile vomitted on her," she wrote in another reply.That's a lot grosser than I thought. I first heard that Perry was accused of rubbing up on Rose, like grinding on her, which would be off-putting and a sexual assault if you want to push it, but not really a strong criminal case. But the actual allegation, which I'm just seeing now that I write this post, is disgusting. The allegation is so specific and gross it's almost self-authenticating, in the sense of, if I were going to make up this kind of lie, I doubt I'd make up this lie. Could I make it up? Sure, I guess, but I think I'd stick to something more mundane, like the "grinded up on me sexually" story I made up in my own mind.
Rose, who is Australian, also claimed that Perry agreed to help her secure a visa for the United States after the alleged incident. She said that she’s "not interested in filing a report" about the incident, but she welcomes a lawsuit if Perry wants to take the situation to court.She has since filed a report with the police. And adding to that story: Anna Kendrick says that Perry "finger-banged my cleavage."
In the resurfaced 2014 appearance on Conan, which was featured in Page Six, Kendrick described an unexpected interaction with Perry at that year's Grammy Awards, calling the encounter "weird" and describing the singer as "aggressive." During the interview, Kendrick recalled attending the Grammys in a low-cut Azzaro gown when Perry allegedly approached her. "Katy Perry finger-banged my cleavage. It was a weird night," Kendrick said, prompting laughter from the audience.Sounds like Katy Perry has a habit of doing over-the-line, outrageous stuff as part of her Sex-Retard Ditz-Whore act. I have a friend who used to do stuff like that but would play it off with charm and humor. He once, out of the blue, grabbed a girl's butt. When she turned in anger, he said, "What, don't you Lambada?," which was a thing (A Forbidden Dance thing) at the time. She just burst into laughter and it was forgotten. But sometimes people don't laugh and you don't get away with it.
And sometimes you step so far over the line that a well-delivered "Lambada" joke will not cover it.

Before I turned 29 I remember in high school/college my GOD you had to look hard to find an ugly
I would say 80-90% of the girls in my classes were attractive to gorgeous to gorgeous and attractive
Nowadays as a 29 year old every young woman I see looks like they came off a Karen factory line

Now if she said Katy Perry "footbanged" her cleavage, that I could believe.

The multi-millionaire former Fox News host is embroiled in a bitter he-says-she-says battle with his heiress stepsister Dr Roberta 'Bo' Hunt, over the Swanson TV dinner family fortune she claims he is not entitled to, the Daily Mail can exclusively reveal.
Tucker insists he doesn't want the money, yet his name appears in court documents demanding $2,414 a month.
Hunt is the only biological child of Patricia Swanson Carlson, heiress to the Swanson frozen food firm famed for its iconic foil-wrapped dinners of the 1950s. Patricia adopted Tucker and his brother Buckley in 1979.

Born in SLC, raised in Idaho where she had to sleep in the same bed with her grandmother & came to realize her little dresses weren't as pretty as the dresses other children wore.
Now you can find her on weekends out fishing & hiking, and ready to kick someone's a**.
Eva fir Congress: Years ago, Eva made two promises to her grandmother, her abuela. The first was that she would buy her a house that they both could live in. The second was that she would always fight for the people like them—workers, minorities, Utahns, Americans. As a congresswoman, Eva will keep that promise alive.

"Translation: The Iranian hardliners inside the Revolutionary Guard just pushed the Iranian negotiators out of the room. Trump is not rewarding the hardliners with a strike that lets them rally the country. Trump is not rewarding the hardliners with a walkaway that lets them claim victory. Trump is handing the whole Iranian regime a rope.
"Either the economic faction inside the regime comes back to the table and pushes the hardliners aside (and they have until the blockade finishes starving the country to do it!) or the hardliners 'win' the internal fight with a Pyrrhic victory just to say goodbye to their bridges and power plants.

Congress--as the most representative branch at the top of government--has the ability to pass explanatory laws.
I used to think so, but instead it defines the different between military actions and declarations of war.
It was pointed out to me by a Constitutional scholar that the Constitution didn't lay out what "birth-right citizenship" was, but the founders expected Congress to able to refine the parameters of it. So, the "definition" was passed after the Constitution.
So, I've made my peace with the WPA.

Congress needs to make a decision. He's not supposed to be engaging in military actions without something like a continued force resolution. Congress doesn't _have_ to "declare war", and it doesn't have to demand that the President withdraw.

So, it's mainly this. The Democrats have been shrieking about "Trump's illegal war", but as long as he was within the 60-day window, it was clear it wasn't "illegal" and an action of force is not "declaring war" and usurping that role from Congress.
After 60 days, it becomes a lot less clear who has to do what.

The simple truth is there is no such thing as a lesbian. They are just afraid of men, for one reason or another, so they think they like women, but most of the lesbian relationships I have been around are far more abusive than any of the heteros I'm around. They beat hell out of each other.
With rare exceptions lesbians are just the angrier version of your average feminazi.

Grew up in Las Vegas (surprisingly then, a relatively LDS city) and most of my high school friends were LDS -- and very conservative.
I was stunned when using their free FamilySearch.org website for genealogy research (likely the same at the pay site Ancestry.com) that about a decade ago they changed their online system to change the sex of one's maternal or paternal line to be the other (e.g. a male maternal ancestor or relative ... and vice-versa).

What screwed the deal was that there was NO national citizenship until the 14th Amendment was passed; you were a citizen of the US if you were a citizen of one of the States, and States set their own citizenship rules as they saw fit.
In some states, only men were reckoned as Citizens, women and children were not. They were legal residents who did not vote.

Whatever, it is demonstrably the case. 1st the government was reformed under the Constitution. Then the law was passed that defined the parameters of "birthright citizenship".
And it, and the WPA, are actually closer to the "Necessary and Proper" function of Congress than many things Congress has done in the name of it.
"To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof."
It's actually a lot more flexible than having "experts of Law" rachet down things with their theories of the mathematical space of Law.

I am thankful no lesbo touched me in my prime, altho one did ask me out and I said yes (because I was in college, at a party, and didn't know what lesbos looked like. She was a lipstick one and normal looking. My bf/husband informed her I was "straight" when I said I wasn't (after drinking a lot). Then I argued with him that I was not straight because I was loaded. Yes I know I have said this in the ONT. I am not senile.
And, another ONT, the one time I was goosed I ran after the guy to try to kill him, yelling,"You bastid" and people at the park were watching. I would have done some major damage on him had I caught him.
Katy Perry would have been wounded along with the bang into wall politician. Her finger broken. (I have also never heard of what she did). Weird.
Her nasty thang bruised (it was not her vaj, y'all, let's get anatomy straight). I would be yelling, making a huge scene, and Katy or the Lesbo-Latina would be calling 911 if they were conscious.
I honestly did not think lesbians did this crap, being anti-mansplaining. What is dis? Womansplaining power trip?

On a 1-10 scale, 5.5 is average. If it's too abstract to add 1 + 10 and divide by two, just put your hands up next to each other and number your phalangers from left to right. You have ten, and your thumbs (5 & 6) are both equally in the middle. So, the average is between them.
There are two ways for 5.25 to be Average-Plus. The first (number zero in binary) is to be a computer geek and count 0-9, in which case the average is 4.5. The second -- number one in binary, number two ordinally -- is to be a philosophy nerd where no one is objectively perfect, so "there's no such thing as a ten" and the true scale is 1-9, with an average of 5. The third (number two in hexadecimal) is to be innumerate.

Utah in general has been fighting lawfare and the like with the Democrats, who managed to get judges and lawyers to let a far left Democrat NGO from Virginia gerrymander the state. I don't know of any other state in the union where the congressional districts are literally dictated by out of state people, and not even the DOJ.

The Democrat Party, AKA The Party of Plunder, Is Now All-In on Shoplifting, Celebrating Rich White Bitches' "Microlooting" Expensive Food from Whole Foods
Communist jihadist assassination-cheerleader -- and now fully accredited and accepted Democrat Party influencer -- Hasan Piker couldn't wait to endorse more communist looting of the capitalists.She looks Asian despite the Italian last name but I'm going to apply Ivy League Admissions rules: You're white enough, bitch. Besides, in the next article I'll link, rich white bitches are talking up how great shoplifting is.
A longtime staff writer for the New Yorker known for bashing capitalism bragged that she has stolen from her local Whole Foods "on several occasions" in a New York Times podcast. Jia Tolentino, 37, made the shocking admission while joining left-wing streamer Hasan Piker and Times' opinion culture editor Nadja Spiegelman for a Wednesday episode about so-called "microlooting" from mega-corporations.
Ah, the Ghetto Democrat line that it's okay to rob stores during riots because "they're insured." (No, they're not. Almost no one insures their stock. Stealing it is just taking money out of their pockets. And even if it were insured, you'd be forcing them to pay higher insurance rates.)
Examples tossed around by the trio ranged from everyday consumers sharing passwords for streaming services to brazen criminals pilfering paintings from the Louvre Museum. When Spiegelman suggested pocketing produce from Whole Foods, Tolentino confessed she already had "on several occasions." The scribe said one of her duties as a member of her ritzy Brooklyn neighborhood's mutual aid group was to buy groceries for one of her neighbors, Miss Nancy. "And so I'd be getting Miss Nancy all of her groceries, and then I would finish, and I'd be like, oh my God, four lemons, I forgot four lemons. And on several occasions I was like, I'm just going to go back in, grab those four lemons and get the hell out," Tolentino said. "At the time I was like, I had not been to Whole Foods. I had a bit more consumer discipline about where I was spending my money then, and I already felt like I was in the hole, even by shopping there. And it certainly felt, in a utilitarian sense, I was like, this is not a big deal," she added. ... Piker then brushed aside her apparent shoplifting, saying that mega-corporations like Whole Foods have already "factored in" the loss of simple produce so that it won't impact their bottom line.
From Instapundit, which also links this article from Hot Air about New York magazine celebrating shoplifting as Empowering for Princess.
Piker, a self-proclaimed Communist, also endorsed "full chaos" of shoppers "stealing wantonly" and wholly bypassing the self-checkout machines. When pressed on stealing from government-run grocery stores, like one planned by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, Piker and Tolentino faltered. "No, I would not, because I feel like that's taxpayer-funded, it's union labor, and the prices are also adjusted regardless," Piker said.
At Whole Foods, you are apparently being monitored by a swarm of security officers, some of whom wander the aisles in plain clothes, and the company's surveillance tech is improving. When security officers catch you, they will take you to Whole Foods Jail. Sometimes with glee. The Union Square Whole Foods jail is a windowless storage closet near the entrance, says Astrid, a photographer. She mostly remembers the wallpaper: "Layers and layers of grainy faces," she tells Nora Deligter. "All the thieves that had come before me." A sculptor we'll call Gina found herself in the Bowery Whole Foods Jail. She was late to an Alex G concert at Bowery Ballroom and had decided to slip into Whole Foods for a quick spicy-tuna-roll walk-and-dine. She had a system: Approach the item with confidence, grab it, then head upstairs to the dining area and surreptitiously place it into her bag. But this time, she headed straight for the exit. "A rookie mistake," Gina says. Gina remembers keeping her head bowed and her eyes low as she was escorted back to Whole Foods Jail. The windowless office was almost too bland to recall, she says, except for a rudimentary banner, that read: ALL SHOPLIFTERS ARE BANNED FROM WHOLE FOODS FOR LIFE. A few weeks later, Gina says her parents received a $90 ticket in the mail from the company.New York Magazine gives a glowing profile of one such shoplifter, and decries the fact that Whole Foods seems to have a problem with people stealing its food. How cruel! She was made late to a concert. She paid a lot for those tickets!

You know, someone associated with the right is going to decide that the left's assassination rules should also apply to the left, and start shooting lefties. And the lefties are going to demand responsible voices on the right to condemn this. And we're all going to say: "No. Go fuck yourselves in the heart with a knife. Pay for expensive private security and take your fucking chances the way you make everyone on the right take their fucking chances."

The left is trying really hard to change that.
And most of the fools think it will bring about a utopia. Instead, it will be the third world.
I saw a great comment once: "Putting a shopping cart into a corral is a sufficient test for self-governance".
Places where shopping carts litter parking lots are also places with trash strewn about and rampant shoplifting.
It's a sign of anti-civilization.
That's what the left stands for.

Stealing is wrong, period in my book. Although after a long period of WFH I find myself having coffee at work 2-3 times a month. Usually I only drink coffee at home in the morning. Folks that bought cream used to have a solo cup to chip in and that cup is gone. I don't forego cream in my coffee and I'm not buying cream for such a small amount of consumption so I am free-loading off of the regular cream users.

Thompson implemented Obamacare, no more, no less.
If you think Obamacare was good, or really anything other then a crime against humanity, you should want Luigi tried and hung for murder.
If you think Obamacare was in fact a crime against humanity, you should identify Obama, and Justice Kagan, as the real guilty parties, not some apparatchik implementing their policies.
Yet the same people that love Luigi also love Obama and all the leftwing SC judges.

Usually, I'd just find out whose cream it is, and give them the quarterly $5...
Spouse runs his coffee club at work (I am an ace K cup buyer)...his rule is you chip in for the coffee and if you want milk/cream, you bring your own. 3 of them are in the club together, and that works. Spouse brings his milk every 2 weeks, but if someone's freeloading, that's fine b/c he uses so little, I'm pretty sure he dumps the dregs every 2nd Friday...

Yeah, I mean this is the core problem with leftwing "thought" on healthcare.
Just give it to free for everyone, including BS things like tranny surgery or ozempic.
How do we pay for it? Tax the rich. But the desire for "free healthcare" is just about infinite so even if we taxed everyone 100% we still can't give everyone free healthcare.
Their answer? They don't have one. Well, not one they'll admit, though the real answer is rationing for normies, free healthcare for appartcheks.

If I was, I'd use facial recognition software to identify her in a store, get video of her stealing, and then throw the entire corporate lawyer backed book at her. I'd call in every favor I possibly could to make sure she got overcharged and imprisoned for as long as possible. I'd bribe judges and prosecutors with houses in the Hamptons to make sure she spent 5 years in jail for stealing a bag of chips.

If I was, I'd use facial recognition software to identify her in a store, get video of her stealing, and then throw the entire corporate lawyer backed book at her. I'd call in every favor I possibly could to make sure she got overcharged and imprisoned for as long as possible. I'd bribe judges and prosecutors with houses in the Hamptons to make sure she spent 5 years in jail for stealing a bag of chips.

This is a breakdown in society -- everyone thinks they need to break the rules to "catch up" to everyone else who is breaking all the rules.
I can not overstate how corrosive this is. Once people think others are cheating, civilization is lost.

2) Ban her from all stores owned, including Amazon.com. yep, she'll NEVER be able to buy a single thing from Amazon. No prime. Nothing.
3) The only way she can shop is: a) if security doesn't recognize her. 2) She does not utilize a shopper's card or coupons. If she does, security escorts her out.
4) Share her information with other retailers. They can sue it however they wish.

Remember when the slim sliver of a government shutdown was the worst thing Trump had ever done and Republicans were evil for not passing Democrat versions of spending that cut out ICE support spending?

My theory on this is that mohammed (Piss Be Upon Him) was a pirate and caravan raider earlier in his career. And you attack caravans at night because everyone's asleep. Except the dogs - who give the alarm. Hence when he was inventing his demonically inspired "religion" dogs became Harram.

California Officials Licensed and Approved a "Hospice" Located In a... FUCKING BURRITO STAND
In testimony before the U.S. House Ways and Means Committee on Tuesday, the President and Chief Executive Officer of the California Hospice and Palliative Care Association, Sheila Clark, didn't want to bust the chops of California officials, but said there are too few checks and balances over the alleged businesses claiming to run hospice organizations. She told the gape-mouthed crowd, "You'd be amazed at how many hospices -- the door you can walk up to in California -- and nobody's there." ... But Clark wasn't done with her observations about those empty "hospice" offices.California is acting decisively to end the problem. And when I say "the problem," I do not of course mean the problem of Democrat voters bilking the US taxpayers out of hundreds of billions in plunder. I mean the problem of people noticing that Democrat voters have leared to bilk the US taxpayers out of hundreds of billions in plunder.There is five months worth of mail that you can see stacked up from CMS [Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services] and nobody's there. And that passed a survey! How did that happen? How do you put a hospice in a burrito stand in California? How do you put a hospice in a tire store in California? That all had to be vetted through licensure and certification and accreditation.
Who's minding the burrito stand, anyhoo? Not California, though Gavin Newsom keeps touting how he cut off 280 licensees but failed to notice that "hospice" centers have exploded by 1,500% in recent years in his state. Newsom also missed how most of the nation's hospice centers are in L.A. County. He also missed that building in L.A. County with 89 hospice centers, most of which are unattended.

@nickshirleyy Apr 18 Exposing California's corrupt "Stop Nick Shirley Act", instead of going after the fraudsters California is now going after the people exposing the fraud. This bill AB 2624 will: - Criminalize journalists with misdemeanors, $10,000 fines, imprisonment, and content takedown - Let immigrant based NGOs' funding be confidential - Take away freedom of the press from journalists - Protect any "immigration support services" information from being public (healthcare, legal services, etc) This bill was created by the Attorney General's WIFE Mia Bonta to stop fraud from being exposed. Please like and share this video everywhere! By trying to silence and intimidate journalists, they are trying to hide the truth from you. EXPOSE ALL THE FRAUD.

He's the guy who went to Ukraine to prove the war was fake. He's the guy that "uncovered" fraud that had been known for years. He's the guy who tried to film little kids in day cares.
Yeah totally respectable journalism.
Just bc you don't like how money is allocated by the government doesn't make it fraud. Fraud has a specific legal definition and should be prosecuted.
The same people screaming about fraud want to start a war they have no idea how to pay for while they cut taxes for the rich and increase the deficit to $40,000,000,000,000. But if poor people but candy with food stamps it’s waste fraud and abuse.
Fraud is a major problem. They're not telling you were the real fraud is. More fraud happens in medical billing negotiations and government contracts.

DD#3 is currently going through IVF - one of the things they test you for is if you have immunity for Rubella. Turns out, she doesn't - despite having received ALL of the vaccines according to the schedules back in the early 90's.
Meanwhile, I - who got my vaccines back in the 60's and 70's - STILL test positive for immunity to all of that stuff.
What changed? Because I honestly don't know. DD#1 had immunity, and she is only 6 years older than DD#3. Kinda makes you wonder.

Every once in a while someone says that Trump should come out in favor of some big Leftist want, and I think, no, they won’t be that stupid, they’ll pass it and put it in front of him.
And then there are things like this. And war. The weird flip on the COVID vaccine after it became Biden’s.
Trump really should come out in favor of oxygen. Or should categorically ban administrators from pumping Zyklon B into government buildings.

When Newsome ran for mayor of SF, he had a homelessness plan modelled after Giuliani in NY (Care Not Cash). In order to get services for example, homeless people would need to register and get ID, so that the providers could help them according to their needs (e.g. addiction, mental illness), and track them and the providers to make sure money was being wisely spent. He spoke about how most of the money spent per homeless person didn't actually get to them. It was actually a relatively good plan compared to what existed.
Of course the Left in SF called it Nazi-like and said he was a right wing radical or some such.

@SteaknShake
Steak n Shake announces the hiring of its first Chief MAHA Officer.
Michael Boes joins SnS in this new executive role, dedicated to advancing nutritional integrity, ingredient transparency, and the healthiness of our products.
The move marks a major step in the Company’s efforts to restore the original spirit of American fast food: food that is simple, real, and delicious.
“Customers should never have to choose between taste and health,” Boes says. “When restaurants commit to both, they serve better food and they build lasting trust.”
Steak n Shake believes that burgers, fries, and shakes should be made from real ingredients families know and love.

I find the best process is to ask one ai to scaffold the project, another ai to make modifications and tweeks and another ai to check the work of the other ai.
For instance, you can ask Google Gemini to create a Postgresql schema and index for a SMPTE 2110/Arista MCS Network Device and Topology database, then ask Claude to design a React frontend/backend, then use OpenCode to make tweeks and modifications.
Things that would take teams of developers quarters or years to develop can be developed within a couple of weeks to days depending on the complexity.

/Never heard of this, but I retired from programming 20 years ago.
[Per Brave "AI":]
"Zod is a TypeScript-first schema declaration and validation library that allows developers to define data structures and validate them at runtime while automatically inferring static TypeScript types.

Leftist Linux Distributions are more likely to embrace Age Verification.
Non-Political or Right-Leaning Linux Distros are more likely (almost certain) to reject Age Verification.
That appears to be predominantly true.
For example:
Fedora, Debian, & elementary OS all have extreme Leftist politics... and all are embracing, planning for, or facilitating Age Verification.
Omarchy, Devuan, & OpenMandriva are all decidedly "Non-Woke" from a political perspective... and all are rejecting Age Verification (in some way).

Where is antibiotics? That played a YUGE part.
I read Shlaes bio of Calvin Coolidge, and the saddest part of his story is that his teenage son DIED of getting a blister on his foot, playing TENNIS. And he died of it! Bear in mind, this young man's father was POTUS at the time, so you know he had the finest care available.
But, no antibiotics. His own body could not fight off whatever little germ slithered in through his blister, and he was beastly dead.
So, yeah vaccines, and sanitation, etc. YAY all that. But Antibiotics have played a major role in teenagers not dying from toe blisters.

Democrat California Gubernatorial Candidates: Enforcing the Law That CDL Drivers Must be Proficient In English Is Racist and Trump is a Racist for Enforcing the Law and We Will Enforce the Law by Not Enforcing It
Before getting to those clips: domestic abuser and truly gross swamphag Katie Porter was asked what grade she'd give Newsom on homelessness. She responded she's a "tough grader" -- she keeps bringing up her profession as a teacher, because wow that is so impressive -- and so would only give Newsom a "B."
Front-running Republican Steve Hilton could not believe the crap pouring out of Katie Porter's shitmouth.OvertonOh of course -- Newsom talked about housing. Democrats, infamously, consider it to be real progress if you talk endlessly about a claimed problem and never make a single step towards improving the situation. A B. Homelessness has not only exploded under Newsom, but the homeless are dying by the dozens because Newsom allows them to openly shoot up heroin and fentanyl on the streets and carve out Homeless Drug-Addict Enclaves in formerly-thriving neighborhoods.
@overton_news 14h Democrat Katie Porter told the debate moderator she's a "notoriously tough grader" -- then proceeded to give Gavin Newsom a 'B' on homelessness. Republican Steve Hilton could not believe what he just heard and he ROASTED her on the spot. MODERATOR: "What grade would you give him on homelessness? And what, if anything, would you do differently?" PORTER: "I'm a notoriously tough grader, but I would probably give a him a 'B' on homelessness." "I don't think this has been an easy problem to solve, but I do give him a lot of credit for calling attention to the problem." "When he campaigned 8 years ago, he was talking about housing when nobody else was." HILTON: "Wow!" "By the way, I'd love to be in your class, Katie, if you get a 'B' for what Gavin Newsom's done on homelessness!" "MY GOODNESS!"
Susan Crabtree
@susancrabtree 14h ⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️All the Dem candidates for Calif. governor give Gavin Newsom an A or a B on his effort to reduce homelessness. Matt Mahan gives him a B- for effort but a D for implementation. And wow -- Becerra says he would give $$$ to people who lose their jobs so they can maintain rent or their mortgage. The debate host questions where is the money going to come from. ??? Becerra says it won't cost much compared to the money we've spent fighting homelessness. HUH? "How can I help you keep your home? Because it costs me so much more money to pick you off the streets, provide you with the assistance and the shelter..." Does he mean he's going to stop spending recklessly on homelessness and concentrate on throwing money at people who lose their jobs? Hilton gives Newsom an "F" and rightfully says homelessness is a mental health and addiction problem, and he would stop all the billions of $$$ going to homelessness nonprofits that get ripped off.
Katie PavlichKatie Porter lectured Chad Bianco, who is Hispanic, about his distressing hatred of Brown People.
@KatiePavlich 14h Democrats wanting to be governor in California won’t say whether truck drivers should be able to speak English and read road signs to get a CDL. Instead, Steyer and Becerra say they are focused on prosecuting those who "engage in racial profiling"
Susan Crabtree
@susancrabtree 14h Katie Porter gives a man named Chad Bianco a lecture on racism because he supports giving truck drivers language proficiency and knowledge tests when it comes to basic road signs to avoid fatal and near-fatal road crashes. "I am stunned that Mr. Bianco would say to black and brown Californians and immigrants who are being terrorized and racially profiled that you have to get over racism." "It's not something that you get over. It's something that you fight. And if he doesn't understand the importance of that. He has no business representing a state with the diversity [that California has]." Bianco says that's not even close to what he's saying. "Californians are absolutely sick and tired of our politicians making race the basis of everything. It is not, and this racial divide that they are pushing between law enforcement and the public or Democrat and Republican, absolutely has to stop." "And I'm telling you, we are sick of it."

I saw this first hand. You can bring these guys to shelters or even paid hotel rooms. They will leave within 12 hours and not come back. A significant portion of people in "homeless shelters" aren't truly "homeless" -- they are freeloaders who could be in their own housing, but they don't want to pay for it. They would rather stay in a shelter for free.

Things only work when everyone has skin in the game. People who don't have anything, or much of anything, to lose don't act like the rest of us.
You see this all the time with petty crime, the kind that disrupts one's life with court dates and jail-time, but not enough to keep them out of circulation for any real length of time. We don't behave that way because we have a lot to lose. Losers don't.
Even if an illegal can read English, plenty will still be careless, negligent, reckless. Because they're not playing the same game as us. Giving them CDLs is no different than giving our own urban youth or poor white trash CDLs.

The absolute most important thing is that we don't end up with two Republicans on the ballet because the Democratic party can't get its shit together.
Steyer and Porter were the best tonight. Bianco was psychotic as expected and Hilton sounded like he wanted to gag on Trump’s boot every answer.
Katie Porter knocked it out of the park. She’s not taking corporate establishment donations unlike Becerra and she hasn’t spent over $500m in ad campaigns promoting her face over the last decade unlike Steyer. Please, California, don’t choose the populist billionaire with no experience over the pro-union law professor and single mother who raised her voice once.
Tom Steyer is probably going to be the second candidate for the general. I don't want to support him, I have no trust for yet another billionaire when billionaires are tearing the fabric of decency and our Constitution, but fucking whatever. He didn't shit the bed.

This could break the Democrat supermajority in the legislature and then allow the proliferation of bad legislation come to a halt for a few years.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — Millions more Americans might qualify for dual Canadian citizenship under a recent change to Canada’s requirements that has led to a surge in applications from its southern neighbor.
For people like Zack Loud of Farmington, Minnesota, it was a surprise to learn that under a new law, Canada already considered him and his siblings citizens because their grandmother is Canadian.
“My wife and I were already talking about potentially looking at jobs outside the country, but citizenship pushed Canada way up on our list,” he said.
Since the new law took effect Dec. 15, immigration lawyers in the United States and Canada say they have been overwhelmed by clients seeking help submitting proof of citizenship applications. Driven by politics, family heritage, job opportunities and other factors, thousands of Americans are exploring whether now the right time to gain dual citizenship.
Previously, Canadian citizenship by descent could only be passed down from a parent to a child. But the new law opened up citizenship to anyone born before that date who could prove a direct Canadian ancestor.

The religious leaders didn't prevent the IRGC from killing demonstrators so their removal from the equation changes nothing. Further fragmentation of the political structure in Iran, along with limiting the people needed to be killed to achieve an unambiguous victory is a good thing.
Things will suck for the Iranian people but that has been a given all along.

Leftists, especially whites, never actually do what they say they support. The upper class live quite 'conservative' lives with investments, expensive colleges for their spawn, long lasting marriages, etc.
I knew a lot of them as a former member of academia and they never applied trailer trash standards to their own lives--they instead used that as a social status signifier to trash conservatives.
That has taken over conspicuous consumption as a marker for the upper class twits.

Paxton Up 8 Over Cornyn In Texas Senate Runoff
Incumbent John Cornyn came out of the Republican primary with a slim lead over challenger Ken Paxton going into the runoff. But recent polling has Paxton leading by eight points.
A new poll from the nonpartisan Texas Public Opinion Research (TPOR) shows state Attorney General Ken Paxton leading Sen. John Cornyn by 8 percentage points among likely voters in the Republican Senate primary runoff on May 26.
https://www.battleswarmblog.com/?p=71286
The GOP is getting well-deserved blowback for wasting $100M on loser Cornyn, while spending nothing of note in VA.
Probably not a great idea texting Virginians and asking us for money today, GOP.

Current law in Calif says trucks with trailers, are limited to 55 MPH if the speed limit is 70 MPH, and signs still show such.
But, if the speed limit is 65 MPH, trucks can drive... 65 MPH. There is no different speed limit.
Also, by lowering the speed limit by 5 MPH, cars are on the road LONGER, thus adding about 7% more cars on the road...
More cars on the road per time, with trucks speeding up and slowing down... and MANY more angry drivers?
99 is now a death trap. Thanks Calif.

Yes. And the reason is that political consultant class for the GOP is a) not particularly conservative, b) dislike the icky and ill paying job of corralling volunteers to get out the vote, and c) they make a lot more money with less hassles dealing with media outlets buying ads, spending for social media targeting, and polling services.
Difference in compensation, last time I looked was upper single digits for GOTV ground ops, and well into the double digits for ad placements, robocalls, surveys, etc.
And those stupid whale GOP donors eat up seeing ads, reading robocall scripts and stats, and surveys that confirm their biases. Stats on volunteer door knocking don't impress them much because they cannot see where their dollars are going.
And whale donors are the primary way that most GOP pols get into office in the first place so those candidates often prefer to only deal with the donor class after.

But promptly decamped along with Whatley to pursue whatever new thing she is planning to do. The GOP RNC head and most of the RNC committee members are stiffs that view the RNC as 'their club' along with their allied political consultants and contractors for services. That is the true problem in GOP campaigning, the whole party is set up for donor servicing but not particularly representing their voters.
I've seen it at the ground level, at the state level, and briefly at the federal level for Congress. And I know the people they hire as some were former students. The true believers burn out pretty quickly in such an environment while the grifters stay on as a job and career.
That is the problem of the Republican party structures and like most semi monopolies, they suck at service to their voters but excel at whale donor sucking up. That is their true constituency.

I think the problem goes beyond literacy and laws. Many of these drivers are used to non-enforcement, and have no ability to fit into a rule based structure. India is a good example. There is no such thing as lane discipline in India. Trucks in India have been known to drive up over sidewalks and follow footpaths to avoid traffic. It's a regular occurrence which I witnessed personally.
Fines in India went up a bit in 2019 for traffic violations. But, they are still ridiculous. No license ($53) Driving drunk ($50) etc. (Rupee coversion to dollars).

Well, its a little DEI ish but not really for that reason per se. They have to test in and retrain if they don't test in. They do have good medical schools in other countries too. The residency match is process isn't blind, but some places are trying to blind it. Its actually domestic medical schools that are DEI the standards for domestic minorities. The foreign schools are still taking the best kids in their country and turn out pretty good graduates. So I'd take a foreign medical school grad then over a domestic UCLA grad that was a minority. Sad but true. The fellowships are where FMGrad are probably getting preferences because they are cheaper . . .

2) In June 2020, Bianco oversaw police presence at a Black Lives Matter protest in Riverside. Bianco showed support for and knelt with protestors, during the George Floyd protests. For his trouble someone hit him with a thrown screwdriver.
3) I'd paid money if Bianco had said "Katie, us "brown" people don't need white woman saviors."

Two Afghan Asylum Seekers Imprisoned in UK for Rape of 15-Year-Old Girl; State Is Suppressing the Audio Recording She Made Begging and Crying for Help, Because It Would Spark Riots Nationwide if the Public Heard It
These Cultural Enrichment Colonizers got rather tame sentences of 8 and 9 years each for the brazen, out-in-the-open rape of a 15 year old child.
She begged passers-by for help. One woman stopped and asked "Are you all right?" She answered "No, help me, please help me, so many people have passed me by, please help me, I want to go home, please help me, they're going to rape me." We don't know what the woman did -- but the rape was completed. She may have just walked away, knowing for a stone-cold fact that if she intervened and took action against these VIP Invader Rapists she would be the one arrested.Two teenage asylum seekers from Afghanistan have been jailed after admitting to the rape of a 15-year-old girl in a U.K. park, officials have confirmed. According to police, the victim had been in Leamington in Warwickshire with friends on May 10 when they met Jan Jahanzeb and Israr Niazal. The teenage girl began talking with them before they asked her to join them on a walk. They then led her to a park area known as Newbold Comyn, where they raped her, Warwickshire police confirmed in a statement released online. Two teenagers admit rape charges in UK court proceedings after a park attack. Following the attack, the teenager managed to flag down a passerby, who contacted local police. Detectives launched an investigation using CCTV footage and photographs the victim had taken on her phone earlier in the day. Officers were able to identify and arrest the two 17-year-old suspects. Jahanzeb and Niazal were charged with rape and later appeared before the youth court in Coventry, where they admitted the offense.It's extraordinary that even at this late date, news of immigrant rape has been so forcefully suppressed by the Quisling government that 15 year olds don't even know that Muslim asylum seekers have sky-high rates of rape and sexual assault offenses. Lawyers are blocking release of the audiotape of the rape victim's terrified pleas for help and mercy -- because it would cause riots were the public to hear it.
johnny Midnight ⚡️Release it. At some point, there must be riots. As the government of Queer Starmer refuses to stop the mass importation of foreign rapists due to the threat of the rapists already present rioting (as well as a desire to court the Foreign Rape Vote), the general public needs to communicate it the only way the cowardly UK government understands, and that is to riot themselves. Here's another story about the Rape Colonizers. Oh wait, my mistake, this is story about a completely different migrant Cultural Enforcement Officer. This is from March 27:
@its_The_Dr 13h This is all on Keir Starmer, a Disgusting POS! A British girl screams "HELP ME! THEY'RE GOING TO RAPE ME" as two Afghan asylum seekers drag her, which she recorded on her phone. Lawyers are Blocking the footage because "It would cause RIOTS across Britain" Gee I wonder why they would Riot? Maybe because they are Fed up!
An asylum seeker who abducted and raped a 12-year-old girl has been given a 16-year sentence. The attack by Afghan national Ahmad Mulakhil last summer led to protests in Nuneaton, Warwickshire. Jurors last month found the 23-year-old guilty of rape, abduction, sexual assault and taking an indecent video. He also pleaded guilty to a count of rape of a child under 13 ahead of the hearing at Warwick Crown Court in February. Mulakhil was told he would serve 15 years in prison and an extra 12 months on licence.Even left-liberal saps are outraged by this and suggesting that "Trumpian" responses may be required:

@Fox_Claire Every aspect of this story is stomach-churning. Two of perptrators met on a small boat, and 3rd teamed up with them in Asylum hotel. Details of the rape itself are bad enough; their attitudes to rape victim, whose abuse was filmed, just so gross.

The suspect was taken into custody by the anti-crime brigade (BAC) on the night of April 9-10, 2026, after local sheep and goat owners alerted police. Since early 2026, several owners had discovered their animals injured, with incidents reported in both February and March. The animals had their legs tied and showed clear signs of rape, according to French newspaper La Provence."

1. The sentences were a little higher than reported, although still light. These scumbags got "credits" for pleading guilty, for being young, etc.
2. These scumbags basically plied the group of friends with booze, then separated her from the group. They basically got her hammered, and then easily overpowered. Classic predator behavior.
3. I can't find anywhere what the race or ethnicity of the girl is. I suspect she's also brown-skinned.

The elites running the West don't care. They literally want these criminals and rapists here to better control the populace. In a just world, they would be hanging lifeless right next to the rapists and murderers that they imported.
You can just look at the SAVE act for example. Eighty percent of the American population favors it but the remaining 20 percent of politicians, grifters, and oligarchs block it. Getting rid of imported criminals, the same. Death penalty was up there at 60-70 percent and yet, the same thing happens.
The solution is wholesale replacement of the ruling class including their shadowy funders among the oligarchs. It is not likely to happen outside of a revolution which brings about its own evils.
And so here we are. Stuck in the Middle between the pet criminals and psychopaths of the ruling class and the repulsive lizard people of the ruling class.

In the Gulag Archipelago, Solzhenitsyn described how the NKVD put common, violent criminals in with the politicals. They knew full well that the politicals, despite that fact that many were veterans of the Great Patriotic War, would be cowed and submissive. The criminals beat them and stole from them without fear of retribution, knowing that if any of the politicals actually fought back, the NKVD would deal with them.

There was an "f-curve" at 8:59pm that was actually preceded by a near f-curve at 8:43. These 2 updates wiped away what had been a decent lead for "no redistricting". Interestingly, at 9:16 there was another big jump for "yes".
From my analysis, most of the votes from all 3 of these came from Fairfax County, one of Virginia's most reliable vote manufacturing hubs.
My old pet peeve, totals going down rather than up, was way too frequent. 23 counties had at least one case of "negative votes", including Chesterfield's whopping 71,903 deduction at 10:45 this morning (April 22). Augusta had a 11,968 deduction at 10:18. A whopping 13 counties had deductions in the SAME REPORT at 7:41PM on the 21st (for a total of 18,476). This is not acceptable and needs explained... the referendum was ultimately lost because of mail-in votes. About 10% of the total was mail-in, and about 73% were "yes". they added net 137,000 votes for "yes" and that is almost 50,000 more than the currently reported winning margin

Starmer is too valuable for the politicians hiding behind him in the cabinet to be a spear catcher.
And it is a trick used to manipulate people who personalize hatred for a system onto a person who can readily be replaced by another apparatchik.
The whole system is at fault where both the Conservatives, Lib Dems, and Labour all lie and obfuscate about bringing the invaders to pillage, rape, and murder the inhabitants.
If mustache man possessed more patience and operated under today's rules, he could have simply 'allowed' a bunch of husky young men of military age to enter Poland to cause it to fall from within.
Our ruling class today considers the Great Replacement as perfectly acceptable. The reason why I can speculate but the invasion greater than DDAY in reverse of Britain and the West is on the scale far beyond the armies of the Axis. 62 million apparently in Euroland which is now about ten percent of their population and much greater of those younger inhabitants under 40 for example.
2.2 million by official stats last year alone.

This fellow who camps all over Britain went out in the middle of nowhere to camp.
No houses, or buildings or road around.
But, as soon as he started setting up camp, a police drone came over, hovers and the speaker tells him he needs to leave.
And it stayed there until he left.
That's what the authorities can do; that's who they see as the real problem.

Again, it is the ruling class system to aim at that funds, pulls puppet strings of their politicians/government officials and pet academics.

Depressing and to some degree was based on the idea in the 70's that the world was in the process of becoming overpopulated. But the key reminder in the book was that a failure of will in the West to defend itself would result in hideous invasion from abroad with alien cultures. The natives would be like the Indians or worse. Wiped out or still existing in small pockets aka reservations here and there.
Overpopulation is no longer the case for most of the world with the exception of the Asian/Middle Eastern/N. African Muslim nations and Sub Saharan Africa. In both cases, women are not educated nor viewed as part of society and thus are used primarily to produce children.

Depends on the location (rural, suburban, or urban) and in many cases, it is simply a lack of reaching beyond a reasonable doubt level proof, not identifying the perps. Rural and outer suburban districts have pretty high clearance rates, not true of most urban or inner suburbs.

I doubt this is true.
I suspect many women never encounter a gentleman in real life. The 60's kinda ruined that for everyone. Sex became a commodity to barter with, instead of being a unitive and creative endeavor between committed adults. So many men just want to get into the sack before they even know women that it has just become the norm.
That behavior just leads to everyone feeling used and abused. And not the behavior of a gentleman, or a lady for that matter.

In part that depends on the man's age. If he's 20, yeah, he's looking for action. If he's 30, he's starting to worry that he'll never find true love. Men are different than women, but they aren't THAT different.

Back in the 70's in the tiny town of McCarthy AK there were two rapes a couple of weeks apart. The authorities were called, but back then it too a week or so for cops to get there, because there was no road, etc. By the time the cops arrived, they were directed to a body that had washed up on shore of the river a couple of nights earlier. There were no more rapes.

I remember after the Daniel Penny incident many (presumably male) commenters here proudly exclaiming that they would never risk being arrested, imprisoned, and/or prosecuted by intervening and attempt to protect victims from a physical assault or worse.
But as much as I value my freedom (I would likely be suicidal if imprisoned), I could never sleep nor live with myself if I did not intervene in such a scenario -- and I actually instinctually have a couple of times in my past.
My favorite is when I was riding my bicycle at a college campus and saw a black man beating a white woman after she'd exited the vehicle they were in. I stopped to intervene, protect her, and fight back if necessary ... at which point she started screaming and swearing at me, telling me to mind my own business.
I literally left just shaking my head ...

True. Stats show outsized numbers of murderers and their victims have prior criminal records. Depending on the city, from 50-80 percent. A fair chunk are disputes among drug dealing gangs over territory and business disputes/robbery crimes against drug dealers.
Bukele in El Salvador has shown that this lawlessness is a CHOICE, not inevitable in society. But that means mass incarceration/death penalty in very harsh circumstances with no one let go until they are too old to do much or dead.
And that means harsh treatment for juveniles committing crimes as well. Turns out that it is clear from literature, that the one thing that turns someone into a career criminal at a young age is them perceiving that they got away with it.
Kindness to those yutes results in unkindness to society because you create monsters where crime is a way of life.

This is probably pointless but here goes...
Reportedly, roughly 10% of women, 18-25, have an OF account.
Dating site statistics show that 2/3 of men do not get matches. Period.
Social media is full of women happily, and publicly, proclaiming that they've cheated on their past boyfriends.
That's not all women. Probably it's mostly women in certain big cities. But that's what people see. All the time. And it affects thinking.
Meanwhile, women complain that men are dogs because they're all chasing the same few guys.

I don't think the wider problem among the white cops up and down Britain involved in there things was just fear of being called racist. I believe they were personally enriched like all corrupt cops,,and like all corruption it goes to the top. But I will admit I have only done cursory research on the matter. I just know it's much easier to admit to being afraid of the rules everyone hates than being in on it.

I don't think it's fear of being called a racist or corruption in the sense of financial gain. They just hate white people (even if they themselves are white) and western civilization. This is what people here who talk about ending whiteness mean. England is just 10 years ahead of where the same kind of people in this country want us to be.

I can’t speak for all abused women, and I completely get the concept that it is sometimes safer to stay is a hard one to understand. But the harsh reality of it is that sometimes it absolutely is safer to stay, and when I tell you that a woman who is in that situation, if she is seen as going up against her abuser, she will be beaten and worse. I am a well educated person. I grew up a very privileged life. I endured things you wouldn’t even want to know about. And when I left, I was ruined, and so were my children.

It is not just the government, you have to remake society in such a way as to disenfranchise and impoverish most of the ruling class or you get a counter revolution. That is why Revolutions are such bloody things hated by many in political theory.
Essentially you have a ruling class complete with its own hierarchy that has insulated itself by wealth, security teams, and space from the consequences of their politics. All of that has to be stripped for the system to recover and the ruling class will fight that to the last bone in their body.
Loss of power and wealth to them is akin to death.
That is why I give Trump a lot of latitude. Reforming the system is much harder and tedious than the shortcut of Revolution. Revolutions tend to get out of hand and descend into either creating a new ruling class that is equally bad if not worse, and instituting such a bloodbath among the citizens via civil war that society takes centuries to recover. France and Mexico are still haunted by Revolutions that occurred well over a century ago.

Hawaii is not a diverse economy. Government spending is the number one component. (Not sustainable). It is also hugely reliant on tourism, which is understandable, but not a sector that is useful for building a stable culture as it tends to create the third world dynamic of massive amounts of lower class, a few upper class and no middle.
It's agriculture basically died when the tariffs on sugar and pineapple disappeared in the 1970s-1980s. The packing plants associated also disappeared, removing opportunity for many middle class.
There are vast open fields in Hawaii (yes, seriously) that have basically gone fallow since.
Trump could make revitalizing agriculture in Hawaii, leading to supporting industries for export one of his side projects. This could move the less stupid citizens there to see MAGA as beneficial to them as well.
(Not suggesting it has to be a return sugar or pineapples, but it's a tropical island, and many places are already growing chocolate and coffee.)

Hawaii should depopulate to a certain degree, to be honest.
Modern agricultural machines can handle crop harvesting with fewer hands. The rest of the islands are just resorts while everything in between are variations of low quality housing that's been degrading for decades and homeless camps.
Considering how much native Hawaiians hate white Americans, as well, they should be paid to move to their diverse heritage homelands like Japan or the Philippines.

True, but nonetheless, it requires lots of labor. If HI returns to its agricultural roots, they would still need a lot of workers, just as we do here in the mainland.
There are approximately 2.5 to 3 million agricultural workers in the U.S., with roughly 15% identifying as migratory and 85% as settled. Immigrant workers make up a significant portion of this workforce, with studies indicating that about 40–50% of crop farmworkers are unauthorized, while many others hold H-2A seasonal visas

1. Supply chain distortion and innovation loss.
Processors will make sourcing decisions based on tax optimization rather than quality, price, or product fit. A California wine producer who uses specific French yeast cultures or a Wisconsin cheese maker who imports specialty rennet will face a tax penalty for doing what makes their product distinctive. Over time, you lose product diversity and innovation in exchange for a simpler, more "domestic" supply chain.
2. Entrenchment and repeal difficulty.
Once $10 billion in annual credits is flowing to a constituency, it never goes away. Every food processor with a domestic-sourcing strategy will lobby to defend this credit. Even if a future administration wants to repeal it for fiscal reasons, the coalition to keep it will be formidable. That's a permanent ratchet in the tax code, funded by every American taxpayer, benefiting a concentrated industry.
3. The regulatory arbitrage game.
"Further processing" is the threshold for eligibility — products must be "sold for human consumption without further processing." That definition will be litigated endlessly. Is a bagged salad "further processed"? A frozen pizza?
Posted by: Jeff Carter at April 23, 2026 11:24 AM (ZiwLX)
On paper, this looks like an $7-15B/year tax credit to promote American agriculture. In practice, it's:
A concentrated subsidy to large food processors (not farmers)
Funded by all taxpayers through lost revenue
Paid for again by consumers through higher grocery prices
With significant trade, administrative, and distortionary costs on top
The combined direct and opportunity cost package is likely in the range of $15-25 billion per year once you add revenue loss, consumer price effects, trade retaliation, and compliance costs. Over 10 years that's $150-250 billion — real money for a bill that's gotten almost no attention because it was introduced in February and has been sitting in Ways and Means ever since.
Who benefits: Large food processors and cooperatives with the scale to hit the $100M cap, plus the domestic commodity producers whose prices get supported.
Who pays: Federal taxpayers, grocery shoppers (especially low-income households), U.S. agricultural exporters facing retaliation, and anyone who values product diversity and trade relationships.

Our foundation of education is eroding (has eroded) and is taking the subject of an honest 'History of the US' down the chute with it. (History (US & world), civics, social studies were taught all the way through 1 - 12 grades many years ago).

Hawaii should depopulate to a certain degree, to be honest.
Modern agricultural machines can handle crop harvesting with fewer hands. The rest of the islands are just resorts while everything in between are variations of low quality housing that's been degrading for decades and homeless camps.
Considering how much native Hawaiians hate white Americans, as well, they should be paid to move to their diverse heritage homelands like Japan or the Philippines.

Very few native Hawaiians are left, tho. Maybe 10% of the population. There are twice as many whites on the islands as natives. The dominant race? Asian. Probably 40%. Mostly Japanese (!), Korean, and Filipino.
I'm going to Hawaii in next month. I'll be sure to report my findings!

No subsidy required.
But if its highly mechanized, there won't be many jobs created.
If no subsidy is required, why are you invoking Trump? Why does the government need to be involved at all? Why wouldn't private industry invest in it?
66 Investing in a product or company because you have faith in their capacity to succeed is not the same as picking winners and losers and submarining the industry thru regulation for your benefit. That's criminal.
Correct. See above. There are far to many who say "could we?" and not enough who say "should we?". That is why our government is now Leviathan.

HI's main crops were pineapple and sugar.
Hawaii's main crops historically included sugar and pineapple, which once dominated the islands' economy. Today,, diversified agriculture thrives with key crops like taro (kalo), coffee, macadamia nuts, papaya, bananas, and seed crops. Traditional staple crops brought by Polynesians (canoe crops) included taro, sweet potato, breadfruit, and yams.
I really think the nation could struggle along without either one. As to sugar, it has been highly subsidized for a century, but was initially subsidized in 1789. That's long enough.
The U.S. first implemented direct federal subsidies for sugar with the Sugar Act of 1934 (Jones-Costigan Act) during the Great Depression.
1789: Congress passed the first sugar tariffs to protect the industry, a form of indirect support that persisted for centuries.

Key destinations include Mexico, Japan, South Korea, and Colombia, with strong sales continuing despite low demand from China

Yes and no. Agriculture in total is not a national interest. Agriculture in specific is. We don't need to subsidize crap or crap food. We need to subsidize that which would keep America healthy and fed. That's the national interest. That is such a controversial call (see Food Stamps right now) that it gets hard to pick the wheat from the chaff, so you either get all (and it's wasteful) or none (and it hurts).

Kudos to the New York Post for being the only major outlet to get this right. The SPLC were paying the leaders. By definition, leaders cannot be informants. They run the operation. It is like paying the leader of Auschwitz to inform on who is carrying out the gassings instead of paying him to stop the gassings. It is perhaps the most grotesque, cynical, and pernicious racket ever devised. Of course, plenty of groups extract money from taxpayers and well-meaning donors off problems they inflate, but this is far worse because it breeds real hatred and manufactures racial division to keep the grift alive.

I’m always ill-timed for the book thread. But I just read a very interesting book, Crosses in the Wind, about the Grave Registration Services in World War II, especially at Margraten.
The author is very clearly not a professional writer and did not have a ghost writer (I hope), but that’s not always a bad thing (although he really did need a copyeditor). It means that this is a very different view of how the cemeteries were created and how the dead were handled while the war was going on than what you might get from a professional.

The problem is: art is meant to evoke feelings. Good art can make you go 'wow, that's beautiful.' or 'Damn, that is sad.' The thing is people are passive aggressive as fuck and part of the problem with modern art is that people do not want to come right out and say 'This is shit.' so they couch their criticism in 'it evokes feelings of disquiet. I feel a languorous ennui.' So retards with no talent take that as a compliment.

Germans did the same at Verdun. No one had much they could do until tech caught up. They tried rabid flanking movement but the defensive side so far outstripped the offensive. You could just pound the fuck out of each other with artillery.

The German army of WWI was led far better than either the British or French. Their casualties were proportionally far lower on both the Eastern and Western fronts than their opponents. The Russian leadership in the East was abysmal. If America had not entered the war in 1917 God knows what would have happened. The mere threat of American involvement was a game changer.

It where warfare went from an anyone can play game with stuff like Le Grande Charge,
to something technology based with specialized professionals.
Now, due to technology and things like drones, nukes, bioweapons, etc we may be coming back around to where anyone can play. Which I guess means that somewhere a big, slaughtery war is in the offing.

this is a problem on the Parkway right now. I have communicated to the guys at the Free Library (where they tend to set up shop) and people in the Mayor's office
they were living around the circle (which is also bad!!!) and the construction there moved them up towards the Barnes.
it is frustrating I agree. I love that library (visit it!) but you do have to work around them.

If the artist intended to create a sense of horror and despair in the viewer, he succeeded. A soldier, dead and alone, is sinking into the mud and lifeless landscape. Even the earth has been upheaved with the explosive force of war and death. The final touch is the hint of pain and a scream in the jagged tree stump.

They were aware of the difficulties. One of the main problems was that breaking the assaulting columns into smaller groups meant no officer nearby, and the risk that the troops would just go to ground.
And the French were probably first in experimenting with the infiltration tactics that the Germans perfected by late 1917, and damn near won the war with.

definitely true but it was just as bad when I lived in town
the only area that's a tad worse is the Parkway and that's because they built on the areas the hobos used to live in. so in a way it's actually much better.
glad you enjoyed Laser Wolf! any other plans? going up to Fishtown? that's quite a transformation up there
tbh it used to be the nabes were bad but CC was good (but not as good as CC is now). now we have these amazing upgraded neigborhoods like Fishtown and Brewerytown and Fairmount! so overall there's no question things are better.
the dumb vehicular takeover thing needs to stop tho. that is terrible (mostly for people who live in CC)

The first chapter of Tuchman's The Guns of August goes into depth on Edward VII's diplomacy, and the immediate prewar years in general. In my opinion, it's one of the best single chapters in any work of history.

He wasn't trolling. Inferiority was a fact, at least in terms of numbers of ships. German battlecruisers were superior in protection, but that was about it. The Brits were deploying 13.5 inch guns on their dreadnoughts while the Germans were still using 11 or 12 inch.

The catch is, there's no debt. You are paying up front. I ran into this crap a few years ago at the Barrett-Jackson Auction in Scottsdale. Had to use credit card to enter the facility at Westworld. I found one food vendor who took cash, so she got my business. It just rankles me to have to use the damned plastic for piddly little expenditures, when I have cash in pocket.
I would be supportive of a law the required all large event venues to accept cash for all services.

Philly is a very ... conservative city in a way. it resists change. which is in fact what I love about it.
if your hotel is on the Parkway, you are close to Ranstead Room. so after dinner as the driver to take you to 20th and Ranstead. it's a bit hidden but it's on Ranstead (a small street) there.
Newsroom (another speakeasy) is also not far from you at all - still, take a cab to that one maybe - but usually requires reservations. that one is a bit more "instagram-cool" so will be more crowded than Ranstead. but it's really nice.

Sir William Orpen
Wikipedia, in part - is an oil-on-canvas painting created in 1918 by the Irish artist William Orpen. It was one of the series of paintings that he made when he was British official war artist in World War I. It belongs to the collection of the Tate, in London.[1]
This painting takes his name from the municipality of Zonnebeke, in Flanders, Belgium, which had been completely destroyed as part of the Passchendaele campaign, from June to November 1917. The offensive took a massive toil of British and German lives, while the Allies had just advanced five miles at the end of the campaign. The painting depicts the desolate landscape of a battlefield, with grey skies, the remains of the trenches filled with water, and a corpse lying at the right, while a heavily damaged tree is at the left.[1][2]
..... "‘ "‘I remember an officer saying to me, Paint the Somme? I could do it from memory – just a flat horizon line and mud-holes and water, and the stumps of a few battered trees.’ but one could not paint the smell.".[3]
(More)
Interesting painting but I'd be ambivalent about hanging it.
Thanks.

Mostly for the allies. The Germans took the high ground where they could after the Somme retreat. In some areas, the Brits had to build up their trenches with sandbags and whatnot above ground because of the water table.

The Morning Report — 4/ 23/26
The decision halts the certification process, potentially blocking changes to Virginia’s congressional map, pending the outcome of the appeal. The new map, authorized in a close referendum on Tuesday, heavily favors the Democrats, likely handing the party another four seats in the U.S. House of Representatives.At least in the near term, I don't expect this to be resolved before the midterms which was certainly why the evil commie bastards rammed this abomination through when they did. It's not just about Virginia, this vote had and might yet have national implications first of all to completely derail President Trump's remaining two years and then wipe out any national GOP aspirations going forward. Absolute power by every means at their disposal is the Left's ultimate goal, same as it ever was since time immemorial. Given the vicissitudes of a top down corrupted judiciary, this situation may yet go in the Democrats favor, but at least for now we may have dodged a pretty significant electoral/political bullet. All of that said, there has been much anger aimed at the GOP for being woefully unprepared for this vote, and rightfully so. For sure the party is at best useless and feckless and at worst collaborating with the Democrats on every level and on every issue. This in spite of the fact that Virginia and America in general is still a distinctly if not overwhelmingly conservative or non-crazy-leftist nation (or is it?). And for sure millions of dollars from the DNC and the usual Soros and other Leftist front groups were poured in to buy the victory. Yes the Virginia and National GOP have much to answer for but at the end of the day, despite all of the aforementioned, we can bitch and moan about the Grifting Oleaginous Parasites until the cows come home, but the reality is is that it's the voters who don't show up that bear the responsibility for yesterday's abomination. Surely Virginians were not clueless about the ramifications of losing this vote and yet how is it that this was able to pass? 'nuff said. Naturally the criminals who foisted this on us are warning us not to do unto them what they have done to us because that would be un"Democratic" shall we say. It is to vomit:
In a statement to PunchBowl News founder Jake Sherman, Hakeem Jeffries said that Republicans in Florida will suffer further losses if they move forward with redistricting.Aside from Democrats, speaking of invasive parasitic worms that destroy everything in their path:
“If Florida Republicans proceed with this illegal scheme, they will only create more prime pick-up opportunities for Democrats, just as they did with Trump’s dummymander in Texas,” he said.
“We will aggressively target for defeat Mario Díaz-Balart, Maria Elvira Salazar, Carlos Giménez, Kat Cammack, Anna Paulina Luna, Laurel Lee, Cory Mills and Brian Mast. We are prepared to take them all on, and we are prepared to win.” Jeffries added, “Maximum warfare, everywhere, all the time.”
A destructive, fast-moving invader is wriggling its way into yards across the US, and officials say Californians should be on alert. Agriculture authorities are sounding the alarm over the Asian jumping worm, a highly invasive species that’s already been spotted in multiple states, including the Golden State. . . The worms are easy to spot, and hard to forget. They’re smooth, dark gray or brown, with a distinctive flat, milky-white band circling their bodies near the head. Bridging the gap between a gardener’s nightmare and a Klingon’s dream, reports indicate that the invasive Asian jumping worm can flip its body a foot into the air, a violent thrashing behavior that perfectly mirrors the legendary Star Trek delicacy, Gagh.Have a great day! And lastly, a quick shout-out and a huge thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.
. ..With no reliable way to eliminate them once established, officials are urging residents to focus on prevention.

Can’t believe I’m saying this, but I’m starting to like Steyer. He’s offering actual solutions and solid plans. And he paid his own taxes. At least $5.5M is what the host said
California needs so much massive change to overcome the housing crisis, the thought of more stagnation under Becerra is just depressing.
lol the British Trump guy just said we should be like Mississippi in our CA education system. OMG. This is priceless.
Ngl, I feel like Becerra giving Newsom an A may do a lot of damage to his campaign. It reminds me of Harris refusing to criticize or separate from Biden.
I'd like to see Porter stand up on her own. She's losing me with her relentless attacks on Steyer. It comes across as a sour ex looking to take cheap shots.
I really didn’t Katie Porter before this but her answers have been good. She's incredibly progressive in her affordability and environmental stances. She's strong and tough on billionaires. I know a mom can get it done.

Ovens got Loomered!
Background, Laura Loomer had enough of Ovens , rolled up her sleeves, and broke a lot of stories over the weekend about that rancid ghetto rat. Who she just happed to know well back in the day when that ghetto trash was the token black girl at all R functions. One of stories (the biggest reveal if you aksk me) was about her super duper legal team in the big bad Macron case. You would not believe who was representing her ! Who her antisemitic, retarded, low IQ followers were paying millions of dollars! You would not believe the reverberations! And today they quit.
Mind you, this law firm has a lot of success in court, and the Macron case is about to commence..Thank you, Laura Loomer.

BREAKING:
Marc Kasowitz @marckasowitz, the Zionist Jewish lawyer who Candace Owens hired to represent her in the defamation case filed against her by Brigitte Macron and @EmmanuelMacron just withdrew as the lead counsel on Candace’s legal team.
He is no longer representing her as counsel.
The withdrawal comes days after I exposed how Candace Owens hired a Zionist Jewish lawyer who also represents President Trump, despite talking about how much she hates Zionists, bashes Jews and smears President Trump with defamatory comments on her podcast every day.
The case is Macron v. Owens, Del. Super. Ct., No. N25C-07-194, and the formal notice of withdrawal was filed on 4/21/26"

Sure it's a guess, but that was with zero GOP spending against.
While the Dems stacked everything in their favor, spent near $100 million, had Obama and every other major Dem come campaign for it.

“Call an ambulance, I can’t breathe” she was screaming
My heart dropped
If she ends up in an American hospital we are financially ruined
I went on the Lufthansa app to book a flight back to Frankfurt, but unfortunately pilots are on strike today
“Please I’m begging you” she was lying on the floor
I sighed and called 911
She is now in surgery as apparently her appendix “almost burst”
I am extremely scared
This is going to cost us at least $100,000
She could have received much better care, for free, in Germany

Most of western and southern VA is rural. I wonder how this redistricting vote was advertised in those areas, if at all. I'd wager most of the voters in those areas either didn't think it'd pass or voted "no." Which the early returns seemed to suggest.
Then the tried and true fraudulent mail-in ballots showed up.
My takeaway is that the left will steal every election unless they are confronted early, often and with prejudice.

Florida GOP voter registration surpassed the Dems for the first time ever in 2021, and we have since opened a lead of 1.5 million. There are now no more Dems in Florida than there were in 2005 despite the state's rapid growth. And our ticket this year will be headed by a black man (Rep. Byron Donalds for governor) and a woman (Sen. Ashley Moody, running for a full term).
Stick a fork in Florida Dems. They're done.

- came within .2 of winning two others
- and within .5 of two more
Sure it's a guess, but that was with zero GOP spending against.
While the Dems stacked everything in their favor, spent near $100 million, had Obama and every other major Dem come campaign for it.
You know how pants-pissing funny it'd be to see Rs take 8 of the 11 seats?

How the f**k is this a threat? Does any rational person truly believe she was asking Netanyahu to bomb the center? It's like saying, "God, smite Congress with SMOD!"...
The second part was a bit more stupid on her part..."There is going to be a bomb in the Ocean Bank Convocation Center and it was going to be Jonathan's [another student in chat] fault".

Akhdar is described as a senior spokesman for Hezbollah, an Iran-backed Lebanese militia that is proscribed as a terror group in the UK.
He has also been identified by think-tank the Washington Institute for Near East Policy as a media strategist for Yemen's Houthis, another Iranian proxy which is supporting Tehran in its war with the US and Israel.
Akhdar is also Under-Secretary General of the Islamic Radio and Television Union (IRTVU), which was sanctioned by the US in 2020 for being 'owned or controlled' by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
According to Roger Macmillan, former director of security at Iran International and Iranian terrorism specialist, 'Akhdar appears to be a lynchpin within Iran's communications network, heavily involved in pushing its propaganda in the UK'"

Fortunately, the cities of both SF and NYC have collaborated on a 5 point questionnaire to assess your suitability for moving to either city:
1) Are you gay?
2) Are you really, really gay?
3) Look, we mean really really really supergay?
4) Just to be clear, are you really really really supergay like willing to suck a dog dick supergay?
5) Do you love Communism and ballet?
If you answered "yes!!!!" to all these questions, you will fit in just fine in SF or NYC.

Scanlon Introduces Legislation to Block Dismissal of Criminal Charges Against Political Cronies
Washington, April 20, 2026
Washington, D.C. — Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon (PA-05) today introduced the No Free Passes for Cronies Act, a bill that seeks to prevent politically-motivated dismissals of criminal charges by amending the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure. (More)
"The No Free Passes for Cronies Act would amend Rule 48(a) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure to clarify that federal judges have the authority to accept or reject the government’s motion to dismiss “in the interests of justice.” The revised standard would clarify that the court has the power to review the facts and context surrounding such a motion to determine if a dismissal is not in the public interest."

And, by the way, the ballot initiative violated a large number of provisions in the Virginia constitution and in administrative law. It's not even debatable that happened. The law says, "you will wait 30 days until..." Dems said "nah, we'll just do it now." So, it was illegal to even put on the ballot.

Daily Tech News 23 April 2026
Top Story
- TSMC has shown off its roadmap through 2029 - heading towards 1.2nm chips. (Tom's Hardware)
That used to be not a lot. In fact, it probably wouldn't be possible if the numbers were still real, but they haven't been real for twenty years.
- Meanwhile TeraFab, the SpaceX / Tesla joint venture in chipmaking, will be using Intel's 14A - 1.4nm - process. (Tom's Hardware)
They'll be running their own fabs; they'll just be licensing Intel's technology rather than starting from scratch (which would take years).
Tech News
- The Pentagon wants $54 billion for drones. (Ars Technica)
Shockingly, even Ars Technica doesn't claim this is an outrageous idea, merely an expensive one. I can't speak for the commenters. I haven't read the comments, and won't.
- A developer using Google Cloud woke up to an $18,000 bill. (Tom's Hardware)
Despite his budget alert being set to $7 per month and the hard limit on his account level being $1400. Google helpfully upgraded his limit and kept right on charging his credit card.Cybersecurity firm Truffle Security Co. has already highlighted the risks associated with Google Cloud using a single API key format. These API keys were previously used as project identifiers, but when the Gemini API is activated on any Google Cloud project, these existing API keys become Gemini credentials - allowing anyone who can copy them to rack up AI bills. So... it's likely we'll see more horror stories of shocking API bills if Google doesn't update its Gemini policies.
We already have, of course. The article lists several.
- Rest assured, Anthropic users subscribed to the company's "Pro" plan. You're not losing access to Claude Code. Yet. Probably. (The Register)
An Anthropic representative took to Twitter to explain that the company wouldn't sabotage its entire userbase without warning.
It's being done selectively.
- Cursor was working on raising a $2 billion founding round before SpaceX pre-empted that with an offer of somewhere between $10 billion and just buying the entire company. (Tech Crunch)
The $10 billion is locked in; the purchase if it happens will come after the SpaceX IPO which is expected to see the company valued at $1.75billiontrillion - 35 times as much as Cursor.
Cursor does not have 10,000 orbital death rays, though.

They'll be running their own fabs; they'll just be licensing Intel's technology rather than starting from scratch (which would take years).
The waiting list, alone, for newer ASDL lithography machines would take decades to fulfill for a new fab.
Instead TeraFab is going to buy one or two ASDL machines to do their own in-house iteration production and then source out the chip fab to others. Then TeraFab will do the packaging work and start putting out millions of needed chips, with faster updates.
It's the only practical way to get anything done with ASDL's monopoly standing in the way for everybody.
I suppose Elon could afford to build a competitor to ASDL, but it's not going to happen any time soon.

US Navy chief leaving post 'effective immediately', Pentagon says
- His exit came AFTER tension within the American leadership over issues around shipbuilding, according to unconfirmed reports in US media.
- It comes just weeks AFTER US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth asked Army Chief of Staff Randy George to step down from his post.
- Phelan was ousted from his job AFTER he, too, ended up clashing with Hegseth over the implementation of Trump's shipbuilding initiative, according to sources who spoke to multiple news outlets.

Because a stay was granted in September of 2025 for Williams' original order that tried to effectively "undo" the Alligator Alcatraz facility. Once that stay was in place, there was no need to rush, and the wheels of justice could grind at their normal glacial pace. The outcome matched the stay, so no surprises.

69 F. here in handsome Salina, KS. T-storms are expected this afternoon; my run to Wichita should have me back here by noon, though. I do hope the pipe shop is worth the run -- though I hear from pipers on another forum that it's pretty good., by which they mean not just a "smoke shop" with vapes and the like.
Anyway! I'm up, I'm sipping coffee, what more d'you want?? How is your Thor's Day shaping up, or how has it been?

Doctor's appointment today. It turned up in my calendar. I called them to ask what I was going in for. "Follow up," they said. Follow up to what? Really wish I didn't have to do this, especially because it's at 7:30.

Not yet. There's a property in a smaller town nearby that looks good, but I need to see it in person while I'm here.
Despite the tales of high utility rates, Indiana is looking good again; their property tax rates on average are almost 1/2 that of KS.

It's worth it. The pain dropped considerably. The downside is that I have to get the injections every six months. Talk to your doctor about it.

I can see a near-future where large container ships include a safe room where the crew can go that includes control equipment for launching drones and controlling robotic quadruped "dogs" with weapons mounted.

Second, the text on any thread is so small, I can't read it. I can pinch to enlarge, but it takes swiping right and left just to read a sentence. I've been to my settings many times and the zoom function seems to only effect other aspects of the phone.
Are these phone issues? Any tips on how to fix?

They appear to be site issues. I use the Samsung Browser on my phone to look at this site. Both Brave and Google give the small-text appearance.

The EU is an attempt to recreate the Habsburg empire. With the same results.

I don't get this. Pretty sure my Samsung phone, only net access I have, is as small as they come. Using chrome because least techy among you. Afraid I mess the thing up if I tried to load anything else.
Hold phone sideways and after clicking comments use two fingers to spread comment boxes to phone borders. Over 70 characters of easily readable text.

I think that is a phone setting issue. I am using a Samsung phone right now and have none of those viewing problems.

Intel investing 25-30 billion, basically relocating it's production to Arizona and Ohio. Oregon is, in effect, losing it's middle class income generation altogether. We are talking billions in annual tax revenues moving out of state.
The same is happening in Washington, California, New York, and other liberal states.
