Wednesday Night ONT - September 16, 2026 [TRex]

20260914-image(12).jpg

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

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

If you're a troll, go away.

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

ONT Department of Movie Trivia

Did you know why the movie Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory has a different name than the book upon which it is based?

The previous inception of the Wonka brand came from materials licensed from the British author Roald Dahl. His classic 1964 children's novel, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and its film adaptations are the sources of both the packaging and the marketing styles of the Wonka brand. Dahl had licensed the "Wonka" name to film director Mel Stuart. The film's producer, David L. Wolper, convinced the Quaker Oats Company to advance $3 million to finance the film in exchange for the right to use the Wonka name to sell candy bars. Quaker, which had no previous experience in the film industry, bought the rights to the book and financed the picture to promote their new "Wonka Bar." The title of the film was changed to Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory for promotional purposes.

Now you know.

One of our neighbors in a past life was in the movie. They had a framed golden ticket in their house. May be the only one I've ever seen.

ONT Department of Star Wars

The future is now. Story from The War Zone:

U.S. Admits It Has Weapons In Orbit

Secretary of the Air Force Troy Meink made a bombshell admission this morning, disclosing that there are on-orbit weapons deployed right now to protect America's interests in space.

"Today, we continue to ensure we remain ready to meet the challenges of evolving threats, wherever they exist," Meink said during his keynote address. "This is why the United States now has on-orbit space control weapons capable of defending the joint force against hostile adversary action."

"That phrase was very well thought out. So whatever I said before is what I say again," he said when asked if he could elaborate in any way on those capabilities at a question-and-answer session immediately following his speech. "It is critically important that we maintain our dominance not only in the air, but in space, and so we've had to take steps to make sure that when we're threatened, we can take care of that."

Niche YouTube Channel of the Week

Tonight's feature is a YouTube channel called A Boat in the Woods. Joshua is a professional carpenter that gave up his day job to restore a 32 foot wooden Japanese fishing vessel built in 1966. The boat is in terrible shape and he has never restored a boat before.

A friend let Joshua set up shop for the restoration on their land (thus the name of the channel). Initially, Joshua intended to live off the grid in a cabin next to the boat and harvest lumber from the nearby forest for the restoration. That initial plan ran into challenges.

Did I mention this is in Nova Scotia? Weather is always an issue.

The first upload to YouTube was October 30, 2024 and the bulk of the almost two years has involved a little bit of boat work and a lot of surrounding logistics and weather battles. A successful YouTube channel typically involves storytelling and viewers are invested in Joshua's journey - even if the work is fixing his truck, building shelter for himself or the boat, or sourcing lumber. YouTube economics and viewer support has let him pursue this project full time.

Friends help here and there, but Joshua is tacking this project mostly by himself. It is an impressive amount of labor and he is very handy.

The channel has over 148,000 subscribers. Each video typically gets between a hundred and two hundred thousand views. He tries to post a new video each week. The most recent video shows moving the boat to a new and better location (which is an outdoor shop built from two shipping containers and lots of lumber).

The video below was posted after 18 months and gives a very good story of the struggles to that point. Much has happened since, but this is a better intro and overview. Simple but compelling content.

* Half of Republicans still having very little clue what traitors and bastards most Republicans and True Conversative Commentators are

* 150,000 more IRS agents, half of them armed

Yes. Went splodey for some reason. It was in an inclined retrograde orbit. This has advantages for spy purposes -- faster movement relative the surface below, and some others. Takes more energy to lob it counter Erf rotation though.

Whether they work or not is about the only debatable issue.

I think most of this space weaponry would be for "space to space" combat, not orbit to ground. Things like Rods from God are way too impractical -- just too damned expensive -- you've got to heave heavy payloads into orbit. Ballistic missiles are way, way cheaper.

Now, there are some possibilities for orbit to ground weapons on a smaller scale, maybe for some sort of small targeting.

The true story behind the crossing times for the cow are a bit more uncomfortable. That particular sign is just outside the home of Mavis Kelly. Mavis, as far as anyone in that town is aware, was a nice woman. Kind, considerate, organized....and someone who REALLY REALLY REALLY liked ice cream. If Mavis had a single vice it was that she was a flirt....and, also, had a tendency to break lawn furniture at picnics due to her excessive girth. BUT, that didn't stop Herman Williams from falling for the woman. He thought she was perfect...that is, until she laughed at him when he asked her out.

Turns out Herman was responsible for signs in that municipality. He worked for the county. And, Mavis either crossed the street to get her mail in the morning, or after work. Herman was a man who didn't take chances.

That gas station pic looks like late Forties-early Fifties, or maybe a little later in the latter decade. That black car looks to be that vintage. And gas stations were still using that style of pump with the big reservoir of fuel on the top, I think. I don't recall them from my kidhood in the early Sixties.

Texaco's "Sky Chief" and "Fire Chief" brands were of the Fifties. Seems I recall reading that Texaco sponosred MIlton Berle, "Mr. Television," in the early and mid-Fifties.

Those sidearms on the Soyuz have a very practical use. The Russians capsules come back on land, and there was a high possibility, if something went wrong, of landing in remote and hostile places. They did happen a time or two. It was part of the survival kits.

We always did water landings, with a big navy to recover. They do have survival kits for some contingency scenarios, but I don't what that actually entails.

Me, I'd want to carry something to the ISS if things went south with the Rooskies or something, but I'd keep it very quiet, and probably wouldn't let all the crew in on it.

Air rifle works, if feasible in your area of operations.

Rodent poison also works well for me (on the raccoons that occasionally get into my attic).

I don't believe cats would eat the baits. Don't know about dogs? I wire the baits to a joist, so the poison can't be transported out of the attic.

Perhaps you could wire some on the feeder so only RB coons could reach them?

I had Bell's Palsy a few years back. Complete recovery in due time. It's a viral nerve infection, so an Rx for an anti-viral and a corticosteroid may help a lot. They did for me. See your primary care person for treatment.

Was able to do rehab/PT exercises on my own at home (from internet search) to regain control of left side of my mouth. While recovering, the left side of my mouth would get quite chapped, so keeping Vaseline jelly handy was recommended by my primary care nurse and that helped greatly.

Now, it doesn't have an active transmitters or anything, and non gravitational forces will cause it to drift over time, but you can find some projections of where it should be via the orbital elements. The error in that will accumulate greatly over time.

Non-gravitational forces are stuff like solar wind, uneven heating and radiation and all that good stuff, where are significant for a small object.

145 My SiL's father passed away this morning from pancreatic cancer. His wife died over two years ago, and I prayed that for my SiL's sake, she would not lose both her parents in one year. God gave us two years, and a far more gradual passing than his wife. (She had MS, he was her caregiver for over two decades, and one morning she suddenly had an aneurysm.)

I know they're both happy in heaven now. But once again, I'm going to be very pregnant at an already emotional funeral. I went through an entire pocket pack last time.

147 I’ve heard the “Sorry Wrong Number” old time radio episode. A little Agnes Moorhead goes a long ways, she is pretty whiny. I think it was a Suspense! which tend to be a little overwrought sometimes anyway. A lot of plotlines in those days were predicated on the thought that no ordinary individual would ever have the simple expedient of a firearm to protect themselves. Nope, they just have to let maniacs prey upon them without any thought of self defense.

Those sidearms on the Soyuz have a very practical use. The Russians capsules come back on land, and there was a high possibility, if something went wrong, of landing in remote and hostile places. They did happen a time or two. It was part of the survival kits.

We always did water landings, with a big navy to recover. They do have survival kits for some contingency scenarios, but I don't what that actually entails.

Me, I'd want to carry something to the ISS if things went south with the Rooskies or something, but I'd keep it very quiet, and probably wouldn't let all the crew in on it.

* Half of Republicans still having very little clue what traitors and bastards most Republicans and True Conversative Commentators are

* 150,000 more IRS agents, half of them armed
* 4-5 million illegals a year every year
* USAID and Learing Centers still going and no one having any idea
* Various R Congress "Hearings" exciting our side no end just to watch the sleeves roll, the spittle fly, and the Democrats laughing at us

188 I peppered the ICU doc with as many questions as I could.

I gather(?) the atrial fibrillation is not that serious of a condition in and of itself.

However, while your heart is in afib, there are some pockets in the atria with stagnant, pooling blood.

THAT is a dangerous condition. That blood will inevitably develops some clots. Clots for we 29+ year olds, lead to strokes, heart attacks, etc. depending on where the clot gets stuck.

I am already on an anti-coagulant since the ICU.

So, yes I will do good listening to my doctors.

189 For anyone here who likes AI (who am I kidding) I've been playing with this new tool called Yue2. What a blast. A little bit of a pain if you don't normally mess with this stuff, and you have to have a rig that supports it.

Essentially you feed a song in, generate a score, give it the existing lyrics, and then tell it what you want and it retains melody and can push out covers in any style.

Fun stuff all local. You can also rewrite lyrics to do Weird Al type stuff - no patience for that but I can imagine the fun I would have had 20 years ago on some forums posting "song parodies" - and apparently you can also train an artist lora on a favorite artist (do it with a friend's band with his permission of course) and then generate new songs in those styles with those singers (with full artist permission of course, no one wants to mess around with copyright etc etc).

Everyone in the ME smells like ass and they don't notice because they are used to it. It hits you in a small area like an airplane or helo and you want to jump out the door.

My wife's instructions before her surgeries were pretty interesting. It specified that she had to shower twice - the night before and the morning of. Also that she had to have clean sheets the night before. Her spouse also had to shower the night before.

She pondered all this and decided that it must be MERSA or some such thing, and I tactfully suggested that it also may be caused by people who forget to bathe or change the bed linen and it's just a helpful reminder.

I didn't not mention the 500 Afghans dropped her by Biden and all the other recent arrivals. I'm sure surgical teams are not real big on b.o.

NASA announced they'd stumbled on a new crater on the Moon:

https://t.ly/FzoNQ

This new one is about 700' wide, and was produced by an impact that happened sometime in April-May 2024. The rock was about 10 - 20m wide. This in the Chelyabinsk class roughly.

Rocks of this size are below the NEO detection limits, so no idea of what it was or it's trajectory. That month window of when it hit makes using the impact angle useless for that, probably.

Announcing the news that she and husband Luis Felber had welcomed their first child, she wrote in an op-ed for Vogue that the midwife had encouraged her to talk to the newborn, and she shared how she had welcomed the infant:

"Hello. I’m your mama. You look nothing like I thought you would, but exactly right. We’ve been waiting for you, do you know that? It was so nice of you to come."

That crater is so new they can see a lot of immediate effects they can't with older craters. And guess what? It did stuff the crater models didn't predict, so they get some data to go back the drawing board for the modelling.

It threw ejecta at a steeper angle than predicted and "plowed up" the surrounding regolith more than predicted as well.

And another interesting one. They found evidence of wildfires in Antarctica to 90 million year ago. Back then, the Erf was well into a hothouse state, no polar ice caps at all. Antarctica was a lush jungle back then, well into the Antarctic circle.

Anyway, a sediment core from back then revealed wildfires raged. Antarctica was still connected to Australia back then, and this sediment core was just about 550 miles from the pole.

Just think about this when the idiots go on about climate change. Average yearly temp down there was in the mid 50Fs.

Used to go to South Africa a couple times a year on business. The guy who ran the distributor for our product used to take me to a game park on the weekends. Not like going on a game drive but the park he would take to drive around the animals was enormous. And the elephants were always my favorite.

The big problem then was Asian poachers who would kill the elephants for their tusks to make stupid eastern drugs. It was tragic and the local game wardens who loved the animals were powerless. Until they finally allowed them have guns to shoot back.

Killing those mostly gentle giants is a crime.

@SarahisCensored

Michael, the juror, is now divorced. He filed for divorce first. The marriage was fraudulent because she was not a citizen. When he did this, everything hit the fan. She didn't want a divorce. His ex-wife filed a counterclaim a couple of months later. He was denied his divorce petition because she was not an American citizen.


wat

WHAT

I'm aware that weird things can happen with international marriages. A guy I knew with a foreign wife and a baby got screwed when she found out that the VAWA that Biden was so proud of would shower her with expedited citizenship and major bennies, on top of the usual cash and prizes and full custody, if she just said that he'd abused her. So she did.

(In a Morisettean irony, he was a black man with Oregon's equivalent of CPS, investigating those kinds of allegations, and she was from Africa. So he was a walking Eddie Murphy/occupational punchline, but it wasn't funny. He was one of those perfectly nice guys with endless patience and empathy. What a travesty.)

They think they were at least two "snowball earth" periods where the planet was completely covered, or nearly covered in ice.

They used to think that was impossible, because once that state set in, they couldn't see anyway to get out. But they've found such mechanisms now.

That snowball state isn't completely accepted, and some still doubt it.

Yes, and there's a mystery there. Way back early after earth formed, it should've been much cooler that what the evidence shows, and there's all sorts of speculation and theorizing about that.

The Sun's luminosity steadily increases at about 10% per billion years over its lifetime as it evolves on the main sequence and approaches the red giant stage.

Because of that, complex life probably has only 1 billion years left. The planet will just get too hot from the sun by then. Simple life may persist longer.

A lot of the boutique adoptions go abroad. I think the blind side was when he was in school, not a young child. But a huge cause for the lack of normal everyday adoptions of minority kids and leaving them in foster care isn't the lack of interested white parents, but a system that sabotages adoptions out of race.

No, it's out there now, which is my point. Stuff El-Sayed said ten plus years ago was out there, but it has been held back for the greatest impact. Same with the corruption.

It's like the USPS thing - Trump knew it would be lawfare'd and so he set the trap, but that was also telegraphing the USPS getting involved AFTER the election to find fraud. Think of it as an alert order for the postal inspectors.

I've been saying all along that the SAVE Act was never meant to pass before the election, it was meant to juice turnout, and it is firing up the base. Six months ago it was assumed the GOP would sleep through the election and the Dems would have all the energy. Now it's not like that at all. Like there was a plan or something.

The house makes its money no matter who wins, and makes sure the odds are in the favor of the house anyways. It often isn't even playing its own money.
remember, among other things, Trump is a casino owner. I am sure he makes most of his money on the resorts, but I am also sure he loses no money on the casino floor either.

A wild scenario for ancient Venus is developing. They use to think Venus went into thermal runaway very long ago, but now they think it could've been temperate with liquid water for far longer.

The following is possible: Imagine Venus, with a moon, temperate with oceans. Maybe life. And then the moon spirals in, breaks up, and rains down a bombardment, melting the surface. That could easily be an event to trip it over into thermal runaway.

All that could've happened as recently as just a billion years ago. Or much earlier.

"Rogue" Juror Speaks, Plus Fresh-Baked Quick Hits

The holdout juror spoke to a YouTuber. The tweet containing video excerpts is below the fold. Here's some of what he said.

The stuff in the beginning consists of defenses against the smears the left has brought against him. If you're not following that, or you just don't care, skip to the bolded material.

Sarah Fields
@SarahisCensored

🚨HUGE BREAKING UPDATE - 🚨The holdout juror broke his silence by speaking with an INDEPENDENT JOURNALIST, Fugitive TV Podcast, this evening! 👏👏👏 HERE IS A FULL DETAILED WRITE-UP.

The holdout juror is NOT an immigrant. According to marriage and divorce records, he married a Haitian immigrant. She was illegal. He did not know this when he married her.

He did not show his face. He is keeping to himself since his name was doxxed on X. His life has been threatened, and people have stalked his house. NBC Boston did not give you the full story.

Michael, the juror, is now divorced. He filed for divorce first. The marriage was fraudulent because she was not a citizen. When he did this, everything hit the fan. She didn't want a divorce. His ex-wife filed a counterclaim a couple of months later. He was denied his divorce petition because she was not an American citizen.

The incident with the nephew - according to the juror, there is a lot of information that many do not know. For example, the nephew is 6-foot-2, and Michael is only 5-foot-7. This obviously does not give anyone the right to hit anyone. But I think it is safe to say that we do not know all of the facts of the matter. Michael stated the truth will come out.

None of this matters when it comes to what happened in the courtroom. He filled out his paperwork appropriately. He did not lie on his paperwork. He was asked if he had ever been arrested, and he checked the box "yes" and afterward had to describe what happened.

He even took the stand, and the prosecutor asked him questions. He was questioned about his past arrest. He was then selected. I would like to make it very clear that this is something that happens with all of the potential jurors present. Which means that the jurors who have already been interviewed could have said this at any point, but they chose to keep that information from the public.

Michael told Fugitive TV that from day one, eight of the jurors automatically wanted to go for not guilty.

The eight jurors were "activists," according to Michael. He said every day they voted, and the eight who were convinced that she was not guilty were doing their best to convince the other four that she was not guilty.

At the very end, it was him and another juror. She was also voting guilty. At the last minute, she caved. He said he knew she was guilty based on the EVIDENCE.

He was open about what he believed and what he said. He said the other jurors are telling half-truths or just outright lies.

He's never been convicted of a crime. His past should not matter. He said that the entire time, his ex-wife was just trying to get status and citizenship to live in the U.S.

Michael said that the report on him that went viral, where they said they spoke with his family members, did not report exactly what was actually said. He said that the family members they spoke to were likely family members of his ex-wife, and he does not even speak with them. Therefore, they cannot know what actually happened in the jury room. Who DID NBC Boston speak with? According to Michael, it was not one of his own family members.

Michael stated that he believes he's being targeted because he is a Republican - a Black Republican with conservative values. He believes that he was on a juror panel with a large number of Democratic voters. And he knows exactly what's happening right now, and I think that you all do as well.

A Black Republican stood his ground. It is not surprising that he is now being dragged through the mud.

This is a very bad precedent for people who will serve on a jury in the future for a national case. No one wants to do this when, based on their decision that they say is based on the evidence, they are crucified online for their political beliefs. You have all seen it. You have seen the threats that I get on a daily basis. I cannot imagine what this man is going through.

But for now, I stand with the Black conservative Republican juror.

Apparently he has a history of stirring the shit in legal cases and Reddington texted him to take an interest in Lindsay Clancy.

The New York Times: Israelis "still largely perceive themselves to be the victims" of the 10/7 terrorist attacks that killed 1,200 and included many terror-rapes, with one woman raped so badly her pelvis was broken, and of course hundreds of kidnappings, with all hostages abused and starved.

That same sentence could be written, and will be written, about Americans and 9/11. Many of us still perceive ourselves of being the victims of 9/11, when the Democrat Media Party will tell you the only real victims of 9/11 were Muslims.

israelviewsitselfasthevictimof107.jpg

NY Post:

The New York Times came under fire Wednesday over a baffling passage that appeared in an article about an Israeli documentary -- which said the Jewish state "still largely view themselves as the victims of Oct. 7."

The Sept. 14 article, penned by Jerusalem-based reporter Isabel Kershner, covers the controversy over the documentary film "NAZA," which chronicles the killing of Palestinian civilians in Gaza and just won the Special Jury Prize at this year's Venice Film Festival.

...

"But Israelis still largely view themselves as the victims of Oct. 7," she continued, even citing the 1,200 civilian casualties slaughtered that day and the 250 taken hostage in what she called "the deadliest day in Israel's history" in the very same paragraph.

The phrasing, and confusing juxtaposition, quickly sparked bitter outrage on social media.

"No words for this abomination," CNN correspondent Scott Jennings wrote in a post on X sharing a screenshot with the offending passage highlighted, which has already garnered hundreds of angry responses and hundreds of thousands of views.

"If Israel wasn't the Oct 7 victim, who does the NYTimes propose is? The mental gymnastics are at an Olympic level here," wrote one of many confused commenters.

"I cancelled my subscription long ago. The NYT is just the propaganda arm of the DSA," said another, implying the Gray Lady is doing heavy lifting for the Democratic Socialists of America.

"Yes, and equally curiously, Americans overwhelmingly still see themselves as the victim of 9/11. The nerve!" another commenter wrote, sarcastically.

Hey I already said that, asshole.

Abdul El-Sayed Railed Against 'Disturbing' Funding for Breast Cancer Research, Said Disease Affects People With 'Social Power and Privilege'



The Michigan Democrat denounced 'the Pink Ribbon Lobby' in essay published during Breast Cancer Awareness Month


Chuck Ross


Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed in a fiery essay railed against the "breast cancer lobby" and blasted breast cancer advocacy groups for creating the impression that women were "in imminent danger" from the disease.

In a 2012 essay entitled "The Pink Ribbon Lobby and Everyone Else," El-Sayed, who has a medical degree and refers to himself as "Dr. El-Sayed" in political ads, bemoaned the increase in federal funding for breast cancer research, calling it a "disturbing" trend that diverts federal funding to study other serious diseases.

The culprit, according to El-Sayed, was the all-powerful "breast cancer lobby," which he also derided as the "pink ribbon lobby," a reference to the pink ribbons that commemorate Breast Cancer Awareness Month each October.

"The breast cancer lobby has done an incredible job raising my 'awareness' of Breast Cancer," El-Sayed wrote for the 2x2 Project, a journal sponsored by Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health, where El-Sayed worked as an epidemiologist. El-Sayed noted that the George Washington Bridge in New York City was adorned with pink lights and that his alma mater's football team, the Michigan Wolverines, were decked out "in pink cleats and arm bands."

"If I weren't an epidemiologist, it would have me believing that the women around me were in imminent danger," said El-Sayed, who asserted that the significant funding for breast cancer created problems "for equity in health research allocation" by prioritizing funding for diseases that affect people with "social power and privilege."

El-Sayed's essay relied heavily on an American Sociological Review study on the lobbying of "single-disease interest groups," in particular those dedicated to fighting breast cancer and HIV/AIDS. Curiously, El-Sayed omitted HIV/AIDS organizations from his scathing analysis, even though breast cancer killed more than three times as many Americans as HIV/AIDS in 2012.

Breast cancer will afflict around 1 in 8 women in their lifetimes and is the second leading killer of women in America, after heart disease. According to one estimate, 322,000 Americans will be diagnosed with the disease this year, and 42,000 will die.

But, in recent decades, breast cancer deaths have plummeted--amid advances in detection and treatment--even as the number of cases has steadily risen.

El-Sayed's article raises questions about his current views of breast cancer research.

El-Sayed, who last year accused Elon Musk of "gutting" cancer research at the Department of Government Efficiency, has expressed interest in serving on the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, which oversees the budget for the National Institutes of Health, the main source of federal funding for disease research. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.), a longtime El-Sayed ally, serves as ranking member of the committee. Sanders has stirred controversy in the past over his views about breast cancer, linking the disease to "inhibited sexuality" in women.

"The manner in which you bring up your daughter with regard to sexual attitudes may very well determine whether or not she will develop breast cancer, among other things," Sanders wrote in an essay that resurfaced during his 2020 presidential run. "How much guilt, nervousness have you imbued in your daughter with regard to sex?"

First he slaughtered the stray dogs, now he calls for cancer to be unleashed upon the puppies.

Apparently an anonymous donor paid to have the Butler Assassin cremated and feds won't tell Congress who this Mystery Patron is.

Miranda Devine
@mirandadevine

Why did it take Senator Chuck Grassley to find this new information about Thomas Crooks? Is he the only person in DC with any investigative powers? The FBI was told by the Crooks' family that an "anonymous donor" paid for the cremation. It's been more than two years. Why has that donor not been identified and questioned? Who was it, what was his/her motivation? What evidence was destroyed?

In fairness, some information may be interesting to the public but if investigators find that it is not germane to the case, they don't report it. They don't put people on blast unless there's a reason for it. People are always making a big deal that "Epstein witnesses" -- people who had almost no connection to Epstein except for him mentioning them in an email, or the like -- and jump to the conclusion that the FBI and DRUMPF!!! must be "protecting" these "Epstein witnesses," when the truth is they're not witnesses to anything and have been cleared by the FBI.

Obviously I don't know what's going on here and whether or not it's germane.

Why do people have such deep suspicions of the FBI?


Who can say, who can say.

Red State says this Deep State Enforcer is now a former FBI agent.


Oof: The Fed raised interest rates to tamp down on inflation.


The Federal Reserve on Wednesday hiked rates for the first time in three years, an effort to tamp down inflation that drew a muted rebuke from President Trump as the midterms approach.

In a unanimous vote, the Fed raised rates by a quarter point to the 3.75% to 4% range -- the first move in rates under Warsh, whom Trump hand-picked after lambasting predecessor Jerome Powell for years for not lowering interest rates fast enough.

"The plain fact is that inflation is too high and has been for too long," Warsh said at a press conference following the vote.

"Today's action starts to show that we're serious about this."

Hours after the vote, Trump called for rates to be lowered, though he stopped short of attacking Warsh personally.

"Interest Rates in the United States should be 1%, or less, because we are the Best Credit in the World -- BY FAR," the president wrote on Truth Social.

"Lower the interest rates for the United States of America, and fast!" he added in all-caps.


Terror in the skies as the cabin of an Iranian jet-liner nearly comes apart in mid-air.


Frightening footage captured the dramatic moment that passengers screamed in terror as their plane appeared to fall apart during a flight across Iran.

The Sepehran Airlines flight had been slated to fly from Mashhad to Kermanshah Sept. 15, Jam Press reported. However, disaster struck shortly after takeoff, when the Boeing 737 suffered a mechanical failure.


In the wild clip, the aircraft is seen shaking violently, causing panels to fall from the ceiling as terrified passengers shout and pray.

Meanwhile, some flyers were reportedly hit by items falling from the cargo bins, although no injuries were reported.

To avert further disaster, the captain turned the aircraft around and ferried the 127 passengers back to Mashhad.

13 Having the plane break up on your head is almost as bad as snakes on a plane.

I didn't know Iran even had an airline.

I typically do look to see which airline has big problems. I only fly Delta, most of my life, an always will.

I flew any puddle jumper in college on cheap tickets with many stops from home back to the university at Christmas and in summers. That ain't going to happen again.

I did fly SW for over a decade but no more. It was fine back then.

The airline I would never fly would be, I think?, the Frontier flight from Ft. Lauderdale to Chicago during spring break. Lots of wighat pulling and twerking going on when they return from their Carnival Cruise.

I saw the thumbnail of a guy that looked really young and he’s a finance professor at A&M. He was 22 and on his second day at Morgan Stanley when tower 2 was hit. I usually don’t have the attention span for a 35 minute video but I was grabbing Kleenex throughout his retelling. If you need a story of hope, of the tenacity of Americans (the real ones) and humanity, this guy wove it altogether beautifully. Of all the ones I’ve heard over the 25 years, this was the most moving. He’s from Arkansas but Im proud TX calls him one of ours. And TAMU is lucky to have him.

Haitian Illegal Alien Criminal and Gang Member Who Vowed He Would Never Go Back to Haiti Is Forcibly Placed on a Plane and Sent Back to Haiti

He objects to going back there as if it's some kind of, I don't know what you'd call it, a shithole country or something.


haitiancriminaldeported.jpg


EXCLUSIVE: A Haitian gang member and illegal alien who defiantly told Fox News cameras "I'm not going back to Haiti" and shouted "Biden forever" during his viral U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrest has been deported to Haiti by the Trump administration after spending 19 months in federal custody.

Wisteguens Jean Quely Charles was deported on an ICE flight originating in Louisiana, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirmed to Fox News.

Sources told Fox News that Charles was extremely combative aboard the aircraft and made crude, profane and threatening remarks about President Donald Trump and his family during the deportation flight.


The deportation completes a dramatic reversal from Charles' arrest in Massachusetts on Jan. 22, 2025, when Fox News cameras captured him insisting he would not be returned to Haiti.

"I'm not going back to Haiti ... you feel me?" Charles said during the arrest. "F--- Trump," he added. "Biden forever bro."

Fox News witnessed the arrest as ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations officers took Charles into custody in Massachusetts, just days after Trump returned to the White House.


DHS identifies Charles as a member of the Back Block Money Gang and says he had accumulated 17 criminal convictions.

His criminal history included convictions for assault and battery on a public employee, resisting arrest, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, possession with intent to distribute a Class D controlled substance, possession of controlled substances, carrying a dangerous weapon, carrying ammunition without a firearm identification card and trespassing, according to DHS.

Charles remained in federal custody for approximately 19 months after his arrest as his immigration case proceeded.

"This illegal alien gang member from Haiti had quite the rap sheet, with convictions for assault and battery on a public employee, resisting arrest, and drug trafficking, among other heinous crimes," said DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin. "He went viral for praising Biden as he was getting arrested, because he knew that the Biden Administration's open borders turned America into a paradise for criminals like him. The Trump Administration has finally done what both the Obama and Biden Administrations failed to do and deported this criminal back where he belongs."

Her daddy was a Sudanese warlord (William Nyuon Bany) but never mind all that right now.
The western people spent just about all the 1980s crying about the lot of the south Sudanese and how they were fellow Christians being oppressed by the evil Moslems of Khartoum. And, yanno, they were.
But the south Sudanese have little gratitude for any of the West's work here. They come to Western nations and laugh at us.
I bet the Muslims in Sudan are laughing at us too. See, look, these people would enslave Muslims - and white people - given any chance, they'd say.

88 Haitian immigrants are hard working people. Many own homes or small businesses. They often have American citizen children or spouses. Conditions in Haiti are not safe. There is no logical reason to deport them. This only harms our economy and damages the labor force. It's dumb, cruel and immoral.

Haitian immigrants who had TPS were here legally, they came here legally. Having their lives turned upside down because they have brown skin is a disgusting, immoral and evil policy.

These people don’t have rights to due process, lawyers or independent judges, this after all is just a civil matter, sending them back at the border.

Disappearing without a trace, cars left abandoned on streets, apartments empty or ransacked and then marooned in dangerous countries they might not ever have been to is so very just and lawful. /s

the “just send them back” crowd doesn't care how much suffering "back" causes

They organized well enough to kick the French out. So they have the ability to work together. I don’t think this is the west’s responsibility to take them in, but we could help repatriate them back to Africa, if that’s what they wanted

When we were stationed in GITMO in 1992 when the entire country of haiti decided they would try to come to the US because they thought bush I would let them in. The Navy and Coast Guard "rescued" over 10,000 haitians trying to get to key west by anything that would float and brought them to GITMO.


When the ships would come in we offloaded and processed the haitians and sent them into a temporary camp. We also had to wash down the entire ship because they would $hit and pi$$ all over the place. You could literally smell when another ship was coming into the bay.


We built a tent city on the old runway and housed them there until we could process them to come to the US just like they hoped. That included the over 1,000 of them that were HIV positive. And yes bush I let all of them in.

In an airport, we recounted this line with impeccably bad timing as we were coming up the stairs to delicious food smells, and there was a cop at the top of the stairs. He cracked wise, and we all had a good laugh explaining the backstory.

132 MPLS is a shit hole city. He lives in Uptown, which used to be a great neighborhood.

A man still on probation after being convicted last year in a fentanyl possession case has been newly charged with illegal gun possession and is accused of trafficking fentanyl and cocaine from his Uptown Minneapolis residence. However, instead of being held on a probation violation, a Gov. Tim Walz-appointed judge has released him back into the community on bail.

Garey Lavell Howze, 27, is newly charged in Hennepin County District Court with two counts of first-degree drug sales, two counts of first-degree drug possession, and one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm.

Charges say Howze was under investigation this spring following reports of cocaine and fentanyl being trafficked out of the duplex where he was residing on the 3200 block of Hennepin Avenue.

139 Wisteguens Jean Quely Charles, age 25, originally entered the U.S. lawfully in July 2013 through Miami, Florida. (According to records released by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), he was granted TPS during the Obama administration in February 2013 and subsequently arrived lawfully through Miami, Florida, in July of that year.)

Later he moved to Massachusetts, and resided in the greater Boston area (including East Boston) and also accumulated 17 criminal convictions across the state before being detained and ultimately deported.

Something's serious wrong in Massachusetts.

And you know he's got to have interesting family still residing in this country, too.

It is sort of fascinating to watch.

The obvious argument for them to latch on to would be something like, "Haiti is a backwards and benighted place, but we've brought the good people, the victims, here, who just want a life like any American"

But then of course all these criminals and welfare leeches would show that to be false...

193 As it has been reported, the vast majority of the millions that have crossed into the US, or Europe or Spain are "military aged men".

Forget the military aged part and focus on the men.

Has anyone done any investigative reporting on how the countries that have lost a significant chunk of their men are faring post exodus? If reconsidering "military aged" and assumed that there is a level of intelligence and industry to be considered of "military" caliber, has this had an effect on job markets? crime? GDP?

Hollywood Is Fake and Gay: Wolverine Is Gay, Green Lantern Only Got the Ring Because of White Privilege

I haven't bothered covering HBO's Lanterns show because, at this point, who cares.

The show is being run by woke clown no-talent Damon Lindeloff, who previously turned HBO's Watchmen series into hardcore racial agitprop with a pronounced black-cuck fetish. And the other show-runner is an extremely woke DEI black woman.

If you're not a comics fan, I'll explain the Green Lantern: Hal Jordan, a fearless test pilot, was chosen as the bearer of a Green Lantern ring, which confers incredible power on the user and makes the user a member of the intergalactic super-police, the Green Lantern Corps. Basically Jedis in spandex.

The Corps had previously never considered giving barbarous earthlings a power ring, but Hal Jordan was such a standout -- eventually acknowledged as the greatest Green Lantern -- that rings were given to additional earth-men, including John Stewart, a black architect.

In the new woke hard-core black supremacist version of the show, John Stewart's father was considered for the ring before Hal Jordan, but was rejected from the program. They showed him something scary and asked "Are you afraid?" He answered "Yes," and they moved on to the next candidate (Hal Jordan), because it is critical that a Lantern be fearless.

Later, the people who give out the rings, the Guardians, paid a visit to the Stewart family to make sure they were doing okay. John Stewart's mother launched into a Proud Black Woman lecture -- everyone take heed, a Black Woman is speaking and we are listening. She said to the intergalactic super-being, "How dare you ask a black man if he is afraid," because black people are permanently terrified in America, and then asserted, without contradiction, that Hal Jordan, having "white privilege," would of course not be afraid of anything so the whole game was rigged, as usual, against The Black Man.

The writers and show-runners confirmed that this was supposed to be an accurate statement about race in America. They say the want to "start conversations," but if you tell them this is nasty racialist propaganda, they'll cancel you for your racism.

Damon Lindeloff has previously shown he has some kind of gay black cuck fetish, and again shows that here. He makes a point to show John Stewart having sex with the wife of a literal white supremacist leader. And then, bizarrely, the white supremacist leader strips off his clothes and demands that John Stewart -- here an artist instead of an architect -- draw him and his naked dong. Just like the "dram me like your French girls" scene from Titanic, except gay and weird.

Oh, and the show also includes a "surprising amount of naked penises." No boobs, just dicks. Showing naked women is exploitative and low-brow, showing naked dicks every half-hour is Elevated and Artistic.

These are Prestige Dicks.

OUT: The Male Gaze

IN: The Male Gays

This is a DC superhero show.

Oh, and in this version of the story, John Stewart is not a colleague of Hal Jordan, but his Superior Replacement -- let's not be subtle about this, let's make it clear that black men are superior in every way-- and John Stewart beats the crap out of the man formerly considered the greatest Green Lantern in history and takes his ring from him.

Oh, and in the first episode, Hal Jordan is shown to be dead and murdered later in the season. White erasure, I think they would call it.

Sorry to bore you but that background is needed for this next story: the incoming regime is reportedly having "crisis" meetings to deal with the backlash over this toxic race grifting propaganda, as well as their decision to cast black actors to replace white actors in their unnecessary Harry Potter cash-grab retelling.

Paramount is holding internal meetings about the growing backlash to HBO's shows, sources tell Cosmic Book News.

"I heard 'meetings' are taking place to address the growing backlash to the shows," a source said. "They've spent ungodly amounts of money on Harry Potter and they plan to spend much more to promote it."

The shows drawing the fire: Lanterns, HBO's Harry Potter, House of the Dragon, and now The People v. Gorilla Grodd.

Paramount is in the middle of closing its $111 billion purchase of Warner Bros. Discovery, the deal that hands the Ellisons HBO and HBO Max.

"Keep it in mind when you see bots swarming your posts and everyone else dunking on HBO slop," the source said, referring to the bot accounts that swarm Cosmic Book News' own posts and social media whenever these shows come up. "The growing backlash to Lanterns, Potter, House of Dragon, and now Grodd got them worried."

Some of that backlash still shows up as viewership. People tune in to see the trainwreck.

The source says the studio knows that kind of watching doesn't pay.

"Negative engagement might pad the ratings a bit but wrecks ancillary income channels," the source said. "Hate watching does not translate into merch sales, DVD sales, book sales, etc."

...

"One thing many are missing: HBO is supposed to be 'appointment television, the home of The Sopranos, Game of Thrones, etc.,'" the source continued. "Having Grodd and Lantern Dicks be the new face of HBO is irking a lot of people."

That's the network that just greenlit a mockumentary where Jimmy Tatro plays Gorilla Grodd in a practical gorilla suit.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone premieres this Christmas on HBO. Asked what the studio can do about the show at this point, the source said the window has closed.

"Potter season 1 is done or very close to done," the source said. "Nothing they can do except hype up the good elements and ignore the bad casting choices."

...

"It's a brand problem. And the Ellisons are paying $$$$$ for that brand," the source said. "They need that brand to be Peak TV, Emmy magnets, the home of great directors and producers. Not the brand that normies associate with whatever Lanterns is."

You may remember a story from a couple of weeks ago: Comic Boon News reported, accurately, that Hal Jordan was shown dead with a bullet wound in his head in the first episode, and HBO filed a false copyright claim to suppress the story. They claimed they had a copyright over someone repeating a plot point from the show.

Meanwhile, there's a Wolverine videogame that's about to be released, and yes, it is lame and gay.

It's lame because it's not really a game. There are parts of the game that are supposed to be "Quick Time Events," a game mechanic which is ancient and considered lame already, but it's lamer still here, because the game will not let you fail these quick-time events. If you fail to push the buttons the game tells you to push, it just pushes them for you.

It's one of those "Push W to win" games, people say -- if you just hold down the "W" button to walk forward, you automatically win, because the "game" is mostly just a movie made with CGI that you watch rather than play.

And it's gay because the game's creators have decided that Wolverine's deadliest and most brutal foe, Sabertooth, is in some kind of gay chaste romance with him.

They "yearn" for each other's touch.

Sure, Sabertooth has been trying to murder Wolverine for 50 years, but beneath that, there is a tender longing and suppressed homosexual love.

Sabretooth Yearns For Wolverine In Insomniac's Game: "Hate And Love Are So Hand In Hand"

By Patrick Scanlon

The Washington Post's Marvel's Wolverine review landed at three stars, but the part getting passed around isn't the score. It's Sabretooth.

Reviewer Gene Park describes a scene during an assault on a military base where Sabretooth grabs the back of Logan's head, and Park reads the moment as longing, not menace.

Insomniac says that's exactly what it is.

"Hate And Love Are So Hand In Hand"

Narrative director Walt Williams told the Post the beat is written that way on purpose.


Logan feels the pull, gets scared, and backs off. Sabretooth feels the same pull, it hurts him, and he lashes out to push that hurt onto Logan.

"Hate and love are so hand in hand," Williams said.

He framed the rivalry as a loop: each one wounds the other, and the shared pain is what keeps them bound together.

Williams is the writer behind Spec Ops: The Line, the 2012 shooter that doubled as a psychological thriller.

Park's takeaway is that Insomniac left room for love inside Logan's most violent relationship.

By the way, the studio that produced this employed the services of Woke Compliance Officers "Sweet Baby Inc.," who have inserted gayness and Muh Representation into dozens of games, most of which subsequently failed. I don't know if this is their handiwork, but even if it is, it is Insomniac studios who implemented it and now proudly boast of it.

One of the chicks writing the show should have just been told to make herself useful and go make some sandwiches because this was here woke take on things. The mom or grandma was fearless for living in a crime ridden shithole.

"In the episode, Bernadette tells Laura Linney’s Guardian that Hal gets to live without fear because he’s a white man, and asks how fair it is to ask a Black man in America if he’s afraid.

She also spends John’s entire childhood conditioning him to feel no fear, right down to lying that birds are watching him for the Guardians.

The writer’s own words cut that defense off at the knees. She doesn’t view Bernadette as wrong. She views her as the most fearless person in the story, passed over by a biased ring."

Brec was about 20 but played a pretty teenager perfectly. Her stepdad was her sidekick AND MENTOR. Yeah, the girl actually needed the guy. Fun show with Solomon Grundy AND a big giant robot.

Brec had a picture on Instagram. She's only 5'2" but she would have made a nice 'Supergirl' too.

Back when South Park still had at least a quarter of the plot, they had that episode about A Game of Thrones and this reminded me of the Weiner Chorus:

"[Wiener, wiener wiener, wiener wiener]. One wiener, next to another wiener. Two wieners alongside yet another wiener. Soft wieners, nice and soft, non-erect...WEINER!".

44 I am not familiar with any of these comics ( although I sort of vaguely recall "Green Lantern " from my youth, but "Sure, Sabertooth has been trying to murder Wolverine for 50 years, but beneath that, there is a tender longing and suppressed homosexual love" but that made me laugh.

46 Oh, and the show also includes a "surprising amount of naked penises." No boobs, just dicks. Showing naked women is exploitative and low-brow, showing naked dicks every half-hour is Elevated and Artistic.

These are Prestige Dicks.

48 James Gunn always doesn't know where the vulgar line is. If you've ever watched a Peacemaker episode, that becomes clear. He's the type of man that needs a director or editor disallowing shots, maybe like the old comics code board.

He can write and direct compelling stories, when someone else stops him from his worst impulses.

As for Green Lantern, I'm 3 episodes in...and really, all the characters are made to be generally unlikeable as they work on saving the Earth. The "nicest Mary Sue" characters in the 1st 3 episodes are probably the female sheriff and her lawyer husband (followed by John Stewart's brothers, but they have a lesser role).

So, while it's somehat anti-white, those folks are actually white and semi-redeeming.

I think the more compelling story is that he took the standard that it's the Stewart parents who had this dream for Jon to be Green Lantern b/c their dad failed. There is something compelling at watching parents be horrible to their kid in order for him to achieve their dream...and maybe his?

That's the compelling part of the backstory.

Or, is that too easy? The guy is already wearing gay clothes, and he hangs out with the maid. One of those guys is named "Little John". And, in a callback to the serial killer in "Silence of the Lambs", we have ourselves a "Friar Tuck".

Seems to me Mel Brooks didn't go far enough, and I think this a great vehicle for HBO to enlighten us with a Gay, looting, and luting, bunch of guys with sexual ambiguity who all have nicknames related to their junk. Plus, bonus, the lead character has a girl's name. King Richard becomes King Dick, and King "John" hangs out in the outhouse looking to show his dominance by railing some poor mail peasant.

Perverts are, after all, a natural cabal. Or several. (Gays hire guys they like, and lesbians hire chicks they like; so if not for bisexuals, they would be completely disjoint cliques.) But don't you dare notice!

The same people will then issue Dark Warnings about Orthodox Jews in Your City, and then turn around again and call it 'racism' and 'Islamophobia' to notice other religions and ethnicities with in-group preferences. They have no principles, only the pursuit of power, and the Projection Strategy works just fine for that.

Is the wolverine game actually bad?

girlfriend and I played for 6 hours. We are huge X-Men fans and we had a ton of fun tbh. I think if you like X-Men and understand that it's an alternate universe you too will enjoy it because at the end of the day, you are a cool guy with claws dismembering bigots. The floor is 7/10.

None of the complaints seem tinted wtih culture anything. The complaints seem to be focused on weak storytelling, a too linear game, and too much hand holding. the clips I've seen have backed this up. Watch the Skill Up review if you want, he's not really one for culture war stuff.

Sounds like, once again, capitalism is at fault here.

A friend of mine (I use the term lightly) has begun sending me dozens of “Wolverine has GONE WOKE” videos. 
Unfortunately for these people anything even slightly mediocre has to be woven into their bullshit culture war ideology

The ring chooses the bearer. Hal was the first guy on scene when the alien guy who had the ring before him augered in but it chose him nevertheless.

I think the ring is useless if you take it by force. Its not the wand from Harry Potter. More like Mjolnir.

I'll tell you a secret direct from the House floor in the 80's, a lot of members have no idea what they are voting on and floor staff tells them what leadership wants to them to vote. This has been going on decades if not longer and the Senate had ga ga 80 and 90 years back then too that had to be staffers run their office.

Not too long ago before Lady Lindsay, Strom Thurmond lived in a special suite at Walter Reed Hospital and was wheeled in when needed for a vote and then promptly wheeled back out and transported back to the hospital.

And not to put too fine a point in it, there is no way that 2/3rds of each house will vote for term limits. A convention of the states can be held by 2/3rds vote but any amendment from that still has to pass 3/4 of state legislators, many of which dream of a job until death in Congress.

It keeps getting crammed in (SWIDT) for its own sake, with no relevance, no addition to the story, no advancement of the plot, nothing. By way of example, the final season of Umbrella Academy, while not the strongest writing anyway, was completely enshittified by a continuous self-insert of Ellen Page's character going tranny and reminding the audience over and over and over. It made no sense for the character and nothing to do with any part of the story at all.

The first season of Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency (starring Frodo Baggins) was a quirky time-travel mystery show.

Then the second season came along, expanding the bizarre worldbuilding of the first season, but also introducing a gay Romeo and Julio subplot that didn't belong in the story at all. Just because the showrunners could.

The third season was abandoned, I guess, though they did set up a third season in the second season finale.

222 There's a weird pseudo-cultural dynamic beginning to solidify.

The nominal "culture" is 100% fake and gay and does nothing for anybody. But little subcultures are springing up that thrive on either shilling for it or getting rageclicks over it.

People will eventually (if not already) stand to earn more as a career path by joining the meta-culture, and at some point the inversion will become incontrovertible and the meta-culture will become the true culture. "Shows" and "Movies" will only exist as intentional grist for the babble mills. No one will derive any amusement from the crap itself, only from watching their favorite face reacting to the crap, positively or negatively.

There's slash fiction for EVERYTHING.

In Supernatural, there's a subplot where the main characters Sam and Dean (who are brothers) discover someone's writing books about their adventures.

Then Sam discovers "slash fiction" about the Winchesters from the books.

Both Sam and Dean are quite squicked out about that ("They do know we're brothers, right?" Dean asks. "I don't think that matters," Sam replies.)

229 Stopped watching "Lanterns" after episode #3 which was the most racist/offensive thing I have ever seen on TV or otherwise.

I collected the Silver Age Green Lantern comic book series when I was younger up until the early 2000s...still have them all including the first appearance of Hal Jordan in DC's "Showcase" comic book published in 1959.

So I'm pretty sure I can say with authority on the subject that this is the absolute WORST (and most offensive) adaptation of a given superhero EVER!

For anyone who is interested on how to do good superhero TV, definitely check out any of the shows from the animated DC universe that started with the Batman Animated series in the early 1990s and concluded in the mid-2000s with the excellent Justice League animated show. I'd put those shows up against any of the best TV produced (live or animated) of any era.

They were the perfect blend of entertainment for both young and older audiences with very well-written stories, excellent characterization, and terrific voice work and scoring. They clearly had folks behind them that knew the genre and how to make it both fun and serious enough for all to enjoy, with no wokeness in sight.

Last I checked, worth about $6 each. CAD. Because everyone else did the same thing.

There are a number of plot elements in Lanterns that are startlingly similar to Hard Travelin' Heroes, the subtle-as-an-anvil Denny O'Neal political screed that not only destroyed Green Lantern as a viable property for decades, but caused DC as a whole to hard pivot away from any hint of real-world issues in their comics.

It's likely coincidence, but that doesn't make it better - it just shows that these assholes have been running the same playbook since the 1970s.

234 I'm going to nail my colours to the mast right now: the Silver Age Green Lantern was never good. The writers didn't know what to do with the character, who was originally conceived of as a superheroic King Arthur figure; Hal spent a lot of time chasing down petty crooks and engaging in Lois-and-Superman hijinks with Carol Ferris.

The best Silver Age Green Lantern stories were the year of exile issues, when Hal was exiled from Earth for using his ring for personal benefit and had to roam around his sector actually being a Green Lantern for once. All kinds of gonzo cosmic superhero goodness, Guardians politics, alien Lanterns. You could do that on a TV show budget with today's CGI.

Report: ActBlue Raised Illegal Foreign Money for Democrats and Then Covered It Up

In before the guy who says "nothing will happen" says "nothing will happen."

Alas, I agree. We've been watching this story for years and like all other stories about Democrat Party corruption and treasonous partnership with hostile foreign actors, nothing ever happens.

Dem fundraising giant ActBlue accused of fraudulent donation 'cover-up' in explosive report





ActBlue, which is used by a litany of high-profile Dems, is accused of accepting foreign donations

By Elizabeth Elkind

FIRST ON FOX: A Democrat fundraising giant used by the biggest players on the left is being accused of covering up the acceptance of fraudulent political donations and lying to Congress about its security standards.

Congressional Republicans are providing an update on their investigation of ActBlue -- a platform for campaigns to raise money that's used by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, and the Democratic leaders of the House and Senate, among others -- that alleges the company potentially accepted foreign contributions and concealed the evidence from the GOP's probe.

ActBlue has previously denied any wrongdoing.

"The Committees' oversight has found that ActBlue, in its own words, decided to take 'a more lenient approach' to fraud prevention in 2024, weakening its fraud-prevention policies at least twice even though internal assessments showed that these changes would result in a measurable increase in fraudulent contributions," the report said, citing an ActBlue staff report.

"Similarly, internal trainings directed ActBlue's fraud prevention team to 'look for reasons to accept contributions' rather than to examine them closely for indicators of fraud -- as required by federal regulation. ActBlue took this lax approach to fraud prevention even though it had detected at least 22 significant fraud campaigns on the platform in recent years, including several from foreign sources."

Republicans accused ActBlue of accepting "illegal foreign political donations" and the "subsequent cover-up" of that information.


If you remember, ActBlue deliberately disabled its billing software's zip code check, so that foreigners could donate to Barack Obama without the system flagging these illegal donations.

They're now running a similar gain. Federal law requires a passport number be included by people donating from overseas.

ActBlue deliberately crippled its own system. Instead of actually checking if these were valid passport numbers belonging to US citizens entitled to donate to American politicians, ActBlue's system only checked if the string of numbers had the right number of numbers in it.

As an example,Mb< the report cited a letter by ActBlue CEO Regina Wallace-Jones to Committee on House Administration Chairman Bryan Steil, R-Wis., which maintained that donations on the platform made by people with addresses outside the U.S. required a passport number for verification.

But Republicans alleged that the verification "only ensures that the entered passport number contains a certain number of characters, not that it is a valid U.S. passport number," rendering it an essentially meaningless step.

They consider it a minor detail not worth looking into when an online donation comes from communist China:

The report also included excerpts purporting to show ActBlue supervisors green-lighting donations despite "red flags," including a memo lauding a donation as a "great accept" but noting, "Donor sometimes has an IP in Hong Kong, but none of their other signals raise any eyebrows."

Another communication appears to show an ActBlue supervisor maintaining that a denied contribution "should have been accepted." The rest of the memo stated, "It is a foreign contribution, but the name/email match, the IP/billing match, a full address with the correct country code, and there were previously accepted and successful contributions."

"The donor uses an Arkansas state code, which isn't great, but [the] system can be wonky with requiring state codes for foreign donors," the rest of the message stated.


An ActBlue supervisor also allegedly said a contribution "set off a lot of" alarms, but argued the donor should be given the "benefit of the doubt."

18 I've mentioned this here a couple of times, but a few years ago I spent time working in campaign finance compliance and I had access to raw FEC data for candidates and committees.

The ActBlue donations back then absolutely SCREAMED fraud and straw contributions. You'd see thousands and thousands of odd-number donations from obviously-bullshit names, and the total of any one "person's" contributions always conveniently fell just short of the $201 threshhold above which a name, address, occupation, etc. have to be included in the reporting.

Nobody did shit about it then, and I'm skeptical that anything will happen now.

38 My favorite part of looking at Dem fundraising is seeing some unemployed/retired person that has supposedly been giving odd, small, irregular donations for years: $7 today, $9 four days later, $5 the next week and so on who shows no other signs of political activity.

My working theory is that someone is given a large sum of money and a group of straw donor accounts. So it isn't that retired Ms Smith gave that $7. The Act Blue/bundler was given $7K and one thousand accounts to launder it through

47 They make this sound like singular illegal donations. I don't think that is what is happening at all. I whole heartedly believe that ActBLu is part of the process associated with the Somali Fraud, and various other immigrant run (and non-immigrant run) fraud operations.

The are defrauding the government under various programs (childcare, hospice, in home care etc.) BILLIONS....not millions....BILLIONS. A good portion of the fraudulent funds are then sent overseas. This is documented by the TSA whistleblower in Minneapolis estimated $6 Million was leaving that city via international air 3 times per week. That's just Minneapolis. Add to that Biden adding $47 Billion to those programs and taking down most of the oversight before leaving office.

That puts Billions overseas, and a portion of that comes back into the US via "donations" to ActBlu.

The Republican investigative view of this is hopelessly inadequate, and naive. And, yes ActBlu is reporting record funding for 2026. It continues.

Vance's fraud task force tagged $250 billion in fraudulent payments out the door and stopped tens of billions of it in addition to USAID and other grant cuts.

We're talking more than $100 billion in money that had formed an ecosystem that fed the left, allowed it to fester and grow unnaturally on federal monies for a while, something that seems to have been growing since Obama's second term or so.

All of that is suddenly...gone.

Hollywood makes $8 billion a year at the box office, as a point of comparison.

If 1% of that $100 billion went directly back into the DNC's pockets, that's $1 billion the party was counting on suddenly...gone. Not to mention all the sinecures lost.

Beto would do some epic skateboard stunt, maybe play guitar.

Talarico has some queer televangelist fundraiser telethon, with drag queen slutty nuns and other various depraved acts, and is about to fall short of his goal until an anonymous donor from China makes a huge donation..

154 it's over 135 comment so I'll bring back the water topic from the art thread.
I recently found out that the Salton Sea wasn't always there. California brought it into existence in 1905 when they drained the Colorado River for it. A bunch of fools made this unnatural reservoir into a resort and now, of course, it is drying up, because Saudis need the river for alfalfa.
Can't piss off them princes.
The second-wind of this place may be because there is an underground briny reservoir. This brine has lithium. So the Salton area may be able to outdo the Sauds at their own game: sell a resource for $$$ and build an artificial pleasure palace.

New Zohran Mamdani Top Advisor Literally Wrote the Book on "Gay Communism"

Okay, it wasn't a book, it was a magazine, and she didn't write it, she edited it.

So, more accurately: She literally edited the magazine by and for Gay Communists.

The magazine's name?

See if you can guess. What name would appeal to both left-wing gays and communists?

That's right -- "Pinko" magazine, the magazine for gay communists.

Jon Levine:

EXCLUSIVE: Mamdani Taps 'Gay Communist' for Senior Government Role: New Adviser Called for 'Abolition of Police' and 'Undoing Capitalism,' Condemned Gandhi as 'Anti-Black Misogynist'



Lena Afridi, who makes $185,000 a year at City Hall, is also an editor at Pinko magazine, 'a collective for thinking gay communism'

New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani named a self-proclaimed "gay communist" who has called for abolishing the police and "undoing capitalism" to a top post in his administration, the Washington Free Beacon can reveal.

Lena Afridi--who uses "they/them pronouns"--deleted much of her social media history shortly before arriving at City Hall, but the Free Beacon recovered her postings. She was quietly named to a senior adviser position in the mayor's office in April 2026, drawing a hefty salary of $185,000 a year, records show.

...

Multiple people in the Mamdani administration who knew Afridi told the Free Beacon they could not say what she did day to day, with one calling her a "strange person." Her portfolio appears to include supporting the city's opposition to ICE and other federal efforts to rein in so-called sanctuary cities.

Her? You mean "their," transphobes!


Before joining the administration, Afridi spent three years working as chief of staff for PowerSwitch Action, a nonprofit organization dedicated to "forging multiracial feminist democracy" and "grounded in breaking the interlocking chains of oppression."

The group openly bragged about their involvement in violent anti-ICE riots in Minnesota in a March 2026 blog post.

In addition to her government and advocacy work, Afridi is currently listed as an editor at Pinko, a magazine which describes itself as "a collective for thinking gay communism." On the masthead, she went by "L. Israh Afridi." Israh is an Arabic word for "night journey" that is sacred in Islam.

Earlier website iterations of Pinko touted the magazine as "communism for fags."

All communism is communism for fags.

And yes, if they can say it, I can say it too. I am not a slave and these degenerates are not my masters.


"What do we mean by communism? Something like the freedom not to have to seek our lives on the market, attained through the abolition of all forms of private property, family and the state," Pinko clarified in a 2019 blog post.

On X, Afridi posted multiple times about her support for "communism" and "gay communism."

Like many Mamdani staffers, Afridi quietly deleted her X account, @lpafridi,​ in the days leading up to her appointment--but in old posts uncovered by the Free Beacon, she offered a militant and uncompromising far-left agenda.

"On a personal note, outside of work: while I believe that defunding the NYPD is absolutely necessary in order to get much needed resources to the people, I *also* believe that the only way to achieve true liberation is not through reform but abolition of the police," she declared in June 2020.

Afridi has not been shy about leaning into her communist bona fides, posting in September 2021 that "undoing capitalism" was the only way to stop climate change.

Afridi is a close friend of Cea Weaver, the notorious top Mamdani housing official who's called home ownership "a weapon of white supremacy" and expressed a desire to "impoverish the white middle class."

The left is convinced, CONVINCED, that America is only kept afloat because of immigrants.

It's also convinced, CONVINCED, that America is deeply racist, imperialistic, fascist, oligarchical, and all around evil that spreads evil capitalisms everywhere it looks because it's so powerful.

There really is a wedge here to use against the left where they become advocates for all brown people and other immigrants to voluntarily leave America to weaken it.

Those weren't real communists.

Real communism has no government or class, and all it beautiful and wonderful like before someone sat down and invented capitalism.

The conclusion:

In New York, I find that we are always mourning, whether it’s people who have lost their lives or their homes due to rising rents, or the desecration and demolition of institutions that gave our communities meaning, or simply a memory of what this place once was and once gave us—immigrants, poor people, people of color, queers. Once you get to know this place, any street corner might be a memorial, any shuttered storefront could be a headstone, any turn down any block might lead you back to remembering a place or a person that no longer exists.

That sounds like it could be the setup for a fascinating conversation or an unexpected situation, depending on the context! Whether you are hanging out, debating, or just killing time, people with distinct political and social viewpoints usually have a lot of unique perspectives to share.

If you are looking for ways to navigate the situation, here are a few directions you could take:

Have a deep discussion: Ask them about how they view modern economics, community-building, or historical movements.

Find common ground: Move past labels and talk about universal topics like music, movies, food, or local news.

Keep it casual: If you aren't in the mood for a heavy political debate, you can easily steer the conversation toward lighthearted or everyday subjects

181 OT Feel-good story of the day:

ABC News: 'I feel kidnapped': Latino immigrants say they're in legal limbo after being deported to country in Africa
Roughly 25,000 people have been deported to so-called third countries.

Ten years ago, Moreno de Armas arrived in the U.S. after fleeing Cuba. He was legally allowed into the country under a policy that permitted Cubans who reached U.S. soil to stay and pursue legal residency.

He was living in Miami with his family and working at a meatpacking plant when federal immigration authorities detained him last May. He had been trying to obtain legal status through asylum after other forms of legal relief were denied.

Some of the new destinations include Liberia, Ghana, the Central African Republic and Sierra Leone.

"We don't have a visa here or any papers, we are illegal," said Aristides Fernandez Garcia, a Cuban immigrant who was also deported. "We're prisoners here, they won't let us leave or go anywhere. Right now, even if I want to and have the means to travel to any other country, I can't."

"I feel kidnapped," Fernandez Garcia said. "They have violated all the rights that exist in life, because we are human beings."

Stay calm, avoid political topics, and leave the area immediately if you feel unsafe.

Immediate Safety Steps
Do not argue. Silence or a nod does not mean you agree. It keeps the room peaceful.
Change the subject. Talk about the weather, food, sports, or work.
Plan an exit. Look for the door. Check your phone. Make up a polite excuse to leave if you feel stressed.

How to Stay Calm
Breathe slowly. Take deep breaths to lower your heart rate.
Keep quiet. You do not need to fix their views today.

Protect your peace. Remind yourself that you can walk away at any time

News accounts simply note the denial was due to filing after the parole expired. A court document in his later habeas case describes his 2016 entry as “without inspection or parole,” which is somewhat at odds with the contemporaneous wet-foot/dry-foot parole descriptions in media reports; the discrepancy has not been publicly clarified in available coverage.

So, if you read between the lines, it's because he didn't come in direct from Cuba--he snuck in through a third country, maybe from MX.

However, no exclusively Muslim cemetery exists in this city, where “go home” is a familiar anti-Muslim slur. Despite our building community institutions, connections, and lives in New York, “home” doesn't exist for us here in death. Families bury their loved ones upstate, in New Jersey, and as far away as Pennsylvania. While small Muslim sections do exist in some cemeteries within the five boroughs, the demand far exceeds the supply."

Mahmood Mamdani himself was born in Bombay (now Mumbai), India, in 1946—while his father was temporarily there attending college—his family's roots in East Africa run deep. His paternal grandparents were Gujarati Muslim migrants who moved to East Africa, and both of his parents were subsequently born and raised in the British territory of Tanganyika (now present-day Tanzania).

When Mahmood Mamdani was two years old, the family returned to Tanganyika before relocating permanently to Uganda a few years later, where he grew up. (Wikipedia)

(Under the British colonial system in East Africa, the social and economic structure was organized into a strict, three-tiered racial hierarchy that placed Indian immigrants in a more elite middle position above Black Africans.)

The family itself was part of "divisive power of wealth and race," as many South Asians adopted the prejudices of the colonial system.

Our crazy orange president needs to announce a plan to pack the court, just like Dems keep advocating.

He'll have Dems shouting that court packing is fascism, which will make for useful video clips down the road.

Just post it on Truth Social. Sit back and watch heads explode, with backflips.

I agree. I had intended to say so in the earlier post. The left keeps threatening to pack the court 1, to make the public accept it when they do it, and 2, to in the meantime pressure the "conservative" majority to sell out to the left to forestall them from packing the court.

I say we leverage the court's fear of popular backlash in our own favor. We should campaign to pack the court with six hard-core based conservatives.

And then let Kavanaugh and Roberts and Coney-Barret write decisions to appease us.

And look, the left is going to pack the court. This isn't just bluffing.

Do we have to play the faintheart sucker forever? Can we not act decisively in our own interests, ever?


Kash Patel is working with Congress on legislation to ban birth tourism.


FBI Director Kash Patel on Tuesday confirmed that the Trump administration was working to create legislation to target "birth tourism," the practice of traveling to the U.S. to give birth and secure citizenship for newborns.

Patel made the remarks during an appearance before Senate lawmakers of the Judiciary Committee.

"We are following the federal statutes that we have on the books right now, and we're working with our partners in Congress to draft new legislation to give us new authorities to make sure that we can combat the threat," he said, according to Politico.

Better act quick. Chinese billionaires are basically filling up America with their clones.


A woman has discovered she is carrying a baby for reclusive Chinese gaming billionaire Xu Bo, who has allegedly fathered hundreds of children.

"The agency should've been very transparent from before getting matched ... about who it is that you're having a baby for and what the family is," she told CBS News.

He's creating his own horde of descendants in, as John Kerry would say, in a manner reminiscent of Jengis Khan.


The woman, whom CBS identified as "Judy" to protect her identity, made the comments in one of the first public accounts from a surrogate carrying a child for Xu.


Judy told the station she has repeatedly tried to meet the man for whom she is carrying the baby, but none have taken place. "It leaves me wondering: do I even have a right to know?" she said.

Her involvement with surrogacy began after she came across an AD on Instagram. It offered $120,000 to become a surrogate.

Judy, a single mom raising a seven-year-old, saw it as an opportunity to earn enough money to move into a home of her own.

"I wanted to build a better life for me and my daughter," she said.

Judy eventually signed an agreement with Patriot Conceptions. She said the agency described the intended parent as a single father who wanted to grow his family.

The California Post reached out to Patriot Conceptions about Judy's claims.

In a statement, Patriot Conceptions confirmed that they were the agency for Xu's surrogate Judy. They also clarified that they had "zero affiliation" with a separate Arcadia case featured in CBS's story.

"Conflating our agency with those unrelated arrangements is materially misleading," they said.

Moreover, the agency said that Xu presented himself as a "single father seeking to build a family" and that when revelations over his activities became public, they "recommended terminating the contract" with him.


...

On Weibo, Xu has posted fantasies of his offspring one day marrying Musk's children, according to the Journal.

This superfecudity strategy is insane and should be criminalized. It's dangerous -- when you secret sire a literal Mongolian horde of children, the odds become pretty good that sons will begin marrying sisters, having no idea that they're direct blood relatives.

Spain's socialist bitch Pedro Sanchez wants the cameras to see him shaking hands with an African migrant. He was probably not happy to see the cameras caught him vigorously wiping off his hand after "welcoming" the immigrant.

Karl Rove signals his virtue.


Karl Rove, former adviser to President George W. Bush and longtime Texas GOP political consultant, said he is planning to vote for Democrat Jon Rosenthal, who is running for a seat on the Texas Railroad Commission, which regulates the state's oil and gas production.

The statements come after Republican candidate Bo French published comments on X that critics called racist. The post showed a photo of students celebrating the University of Texas football game on Sunday, many of which appear non-White.

I'm done with this crew.

Speaking of: Super-Conservative (TM) Tom Massie, who is definitely not a flaky closet case, has filed articles of impeachment against Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.

He's vag-mad that the Secretary of War sometimes orders men into, um, war.


The Pentagon came out swinging on Tuesday after Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., read articles of impeachment against Secretary of War Pete Hegseth over the prosecution of the Iran war.

Massie's articles focused on the continued involvement of U.S. forces in active fighting past the 60-day maximum, after which the White House must seek authorization from Congress. The Iran war began in late February and was subject to a nominal ceasefire for several weeks. The Trump administration previously argued that the official pause in fighting reset the clock.

After Massie's remarks on the House floor, however, the Pentagon embraced a defiant tone, with press secretary Kingsley Wilson telling reporters that "Secretary Hegseth has been a transformative leader for the Department of War. Standards and merit are back, our arsenal is stronger than ever before, and morale and recruitment across every service are at all-time highs."

WTF???!!! This is insane! NBC made Lindsay Clancy juror Kellie Farina re-answer a question - but they left her initial response in the video! This is at the 32:08 mark in the interview, watch:

Interviewer: "Do you think that she should be re-tried?"
Farina: "I would like to see her be re-tried, absolutely."

Then the interviewer looks off screen and gestures to someone. Was that a signal to edit that part out because they didn't like her answer? Then she stumbles through asking the EXACT same question!

Interviewer: "You think, you think, you would like she should be re- re-tried?"

Then they cut to another camera shot for Farina to re-answer the question.

Farina: "I would like him NOT to re-try her."

What is this? They didn't even edit out Farina's initial answer which was that she WOULD like Lindsay to be re-tried! In the span of 10 seconds, you can watch Farina basically say "yes" and "no" to literally the same question.

How can we believe anything these jurors say? If a juror answers a question in a way the media doesn't like they make them re-do the question with a different answer? How many other times has this happened? Fake. News. What a disgrace...

Link to the interview.


Birdhanded shriveled witch warning:


You encounter 2d4 giant rats.

Rock stars have weird rules about eating. If it's not a crusade against green M&Ms, it's an Adrian-Monk-like diet consisting of a "sandwich" containing only bread and one type of cheese.


The favorite sandwich of legendary Beatles drummer Ringo Starr is remarkably simple: cheese on bread -- but not just any cheese.

"What is the best sandwich?" late-night television host Stephen Colbert asked Starr during a 2021 appearance on "The Late Show."

"I don't have a lot of them anymore, but cheese," Starr answered. He said he loved cheese before clarifying, "But it has to be goat cheese now."

When Colbert questioned his preference for goat cheese, Starr said, "I don't eat anything from the cow because the molecules are so big. Have you seen a cow? The molecules are so big. And that's why if you drink a glass of milk, you're full. With a goat, it's a good size for our bodies."

Haven't I been trying to tell you guys for 20 years that the molecules in cow's milk are too big?

1) The left claims the US matching Canadian tariffs is fascism and an affront to Canadian autonomy. What...? You can argue all tariffs are bad sure. But...the argument here is the US can't set its own trade policy AND that matching other country's trade policy is taking away their autonomy?!?

2) The left has gone all in on "billionaires are why everything is expensive" and yet Musk and Bezos (while outside of giving money to Dems) have done nothing to me. My biggest bill is taxes. I'm paying twice as much for everything vs 5 years ago because of government spending and the costs of insurance and healthcare have skyrocketed because of all the foreigners the government has brought in. Musk/Bezos did none of that.

BREAKING….

Kevin Reddington, Lindsay Clancy’s lawyer, has federal tax liens of $2.37 million for unpaid taxes on his Marshfield mansion, according to public records on file at the Plymouth County Registry of Deeds.

Reddington bought his now-assessed-at-$2.3-million estate in 2017, and has liens from the IRS dating back to 2018, through 2024.

Reddington is the public face of the free-Lindsay Clancy mob that is so outraged that the holdout juror allegedly owes $12,600 in unpaid rent, and is being evicted by his landlord in Bridgewater.

There is no record that any of the $2.37 million in IRS liens on Reddington’s property have been discharged, i.e., paid off. Reddington did not return calls seeking comment on his apparently unpaid tax debts.

87 More from the NYP's item:
Starr’s explanation about the size of the animals and their “molecules” isn’t backed by science, but there are structural differences between goat and cow milk.

Research has found that goat milk generally contains a higher proportion of smaller fat globules than cow milk and differs in its fat and protein composition.

Those differences, along with the way the proteins form curds during digestion, may affect how the two types of milk are digested.

109 It’s pretty clear something has to be done about the hyper partisan and corrupt Supreme Court. They are killing our democracy one ruling at a time. I’ll support just about anything they want to do about it.

The legacy of Bitch McConnell. He had set his sights on filing the court with young, explicitly Conservative justices since the Obama era, and he does not get enough hate for it.

Obama shouldn’t have pressured Biden to let Hillary run instead in 2016. If he hadn’t, Biden probably wins in 2016 and we get a liberal majority court.

They stole a supreme court seat and used it to repeal women's healthcare and black voting rights, overturning both precedent and congress. There is no respect left for the supreme court. Democrats need to take a sledgehammer to the status quo.

The court is already packed. We need to talk about it that way.

Progressives were screaming for this back in 2021-2024 but were told we were too radical, now that Trump won and basically dominates America is when Dems decide to listen lol

128 Here's another thing on the economy, regarding Q2's numbers:

"Q2 2026 Government Spending Details

Overall Impact: The decline in government outlays subtracted about 0.2 percentage points from real gross domestic product (GDP) growth.

Federal vs. State: Federal outlays contracted by 4.2%, while combined federal and state/local outlays overall pulled down the sector, driven largely by reductions in nondefense spending despite a modest 2.4% increase in defense spending."

This is after Q4 of last year saw government spending contract by 5.6% (government shutdown everyone forgot happened) and then rebound partially with +4.4% in Q1.

Everyone has said forever that the key to economic growth and restricting inflation was contracting government spending.

Well, Trump's doing that.

And no, increased energy costs because of a conflict is not inflation.

We are seeing deflation in certain sectors (rents, a bit in groceries), but most economists blame deflation for a lot of the Great Depression.

So, the fear of deflation is deep and wide in economic circles.

Trump is reacting by trying to limit inflation as much as possible (he mentioned a 1% target a while back) and increasing economic output (wage growth, etc) which is one big reason he shat on the AI pullback effort.

if, in a highly leveraged economy, a downturn makes all the leveraged investments collapse, is that going to reduce the money supply, and will that be a form of deflation?

I think it does, since credit is part of the money supply, but I can't get my head around it.

Not with California shutting down their refineries, we can't.

Not with those who would build new ones being gun shy because they know a Democrat administration will make their lives hell.

Our refineries are at capacity, which is a big reason gas prices are so sticky on the up side right now. When things actually do begin to cool down, demand will drop and the spreads will shrink and gas prices will fall.

It accelerates if Trump does the export ban thing, though.

Anyway I tried on a few pairs and found one that fit and brought it up to the register. And...$160. I asked the clerk to doublecheck...this was one pair of jeans right? And...yep that's the price.

I gave them back and walked out. I noticed the store was full of 20-30 olds shopping. I make a very good salary and that price made be say no. How the hell are these kids paying those prices?

So this isn't some "moderate Dem" Karl decided is better than a possibly distasteful and inarticulate Republican--it's a far-left, radical Dem.

216 Trump did run on inflation, but I seriously doubt it was one of the key factors in his win.

Inflation had largely come under control by the time 2024 election season started.

I think the strongest element was immigration. Life just got worse under Biden, and it was easy (and accurate) to point the finger at the millions of new arrivals who made the country worse in a myriad of ways (including driving up prices in ways that weren't inflation by increasing the demand for everything without increasing the supply).

Its more complicated that than. Ethanol replaced MTBE—an octane increasing additive that California banned because it caused too much environmental damage.


And MTBE replaced TEL because Tetraethyl lead is considered bad for the environment too.

Otherwise it will get spun as "capriciously interfering with the markets" or screams about restricting access to fuel, or something like that.

276 I had a conversation with a friend today. Bit of a fence sitter, but here is what you’re up against.

He tells me he’s probably going to vote with Democrats because of Iran and gas prices. The reason is things need to change. I asked if he remembered what they did last time, have promised for the future and realizes it will be worse. He hedges and finally admits, yes.

Me: So your front steps are broken and your answer is to burn down the house?

Him: I see your point.

I thought everyone knew this already. It was common knowledge when I was a roadie (briefly) back around 1990. The pyrotechnic, electrical and sheer weight requirements for the stage show would stress all but the largest venues, so they added the "bowl of M&Ms in the dressing room, but no green ones" as a fast check on whether the contract riders had been followed to the letter. Any half-assing of those could get someone killed, so if the bowl had green M&Ms, some other candy, or wasn't there at all, the band knew they had to double-check every line of the riders to make sure the venue hadn't half-assed something dangerous.

It's probably been said but pretty much all of this should be laid at the feet of Sleepy Joe who jacked inflation up to 9% and let everything get expensive quickly. That inflation is now baked into the cake unless we're willing to roll the dice on an actual deflationary cycle which basically nobody is willing to do. So you can be mad about it but sitting here fuming that Trump isn't doing enough to give you cheap hamburgers isn't exactly a productive use of anyone's time.

303 "A woman has discovered she is carrying a baby for reclusive Chinese gaming billionaire Xu Bo, who has allegedly fathered hundreds of children.
"The agency should've been very transparent from before getting matched ... about who it is that you're having a baby for and what the family is," she told CBS News."

Patriot Conceptions was founded by Haotian Bai, a U.S. Army Veteran w/civil engineering background, plus a Veteran Fellow at the Hoover Institution at Standard University.

The veteran-owned surrogacy and egg donation agency was established in 2019, and is based in Irvine, CA.

Reportedly, Haotian Bai is a Chinese immigrant and decorated U.S. Army Veteran (HHC 8th Theater Sustainment Command (TSC)) who holds a Master of Science from Iowa State University, and served as Veteran Fellow at Stanford's Hoover Institution for the 2024-2025 academic year.

Beyond surrogacy, Bai is the founder of TrustUS, "a vertical software-as-a-service (SaaS) co. focused on digital legal workflows, secure authentication, and payment processing.

304 The company clearly has a "Surrogacy across borders" branch/section:
01 choose the clinic and birth state first;
02 Plan travel & documents around the birth,
03 Confirm readiness before matching.

Get the order right, and paperwork never strands a newborns abroad. The consular route depends on the birth state, the parentage plan, and the document timeline. Confirm citizenship and recognition rules as a first-stage decision- then work backward to the US birth-state and clinic plan.

Every state in the US is color-coded by legal posture.

In many friendly states, parents secure legal parentage before the baby is born - the birth certification name them from day one.
---
BS & I don't feel bad at all for that woman.

Sell the baby to a foreign buyer program which bypasses foreign woman coming into the country for birth & birthright citizenship.

US women can simply choose to carry babies for the purpose of them automatically being US citizens and "selling" them with an air-tight legal contract to foreign buyers.

How the hell can that be stopped?!! (See TX and Cali.)

Fake News "NHL Reporter" Blasts Sydney Sweeney for Using Her Body to Sell Merch... But Of Course Previously Posted a Booby Bikini Photo to Sell "Hot Girls for Hockey" Merch

That's only the first part of this embarrassing hypocrisy.

The second part is this "reporter" doubling down and insisting that because she showed her boobies to sell merch to women, that's totes different than Sydney Sweeny using boobies to sell a gambling service to men.


Emma Lingan

Nobody cares that Sydney Sweeney got naked. The issue is the implication that women's only value in sports is to be decoration for male consumption.

Also, body shaming a hypothetical woman while pretending to defend women's choices is a pretty spectacular way to miss the point.


Colin Dunlap

It is genuinely exhausting how Sydney Sweeney is criticized for a photo yet if a woman 60 pounds overweight with hair 11 different colors took the same photo, the same women criticizing Sweeney would be tweeting, "YASSSSSS QUEEN!!!!!!!" x.com/emma_lingan/st...

Pointing out that a sports betting company is leaning on the same tired "hot woman = male attention" formula is not telling Sweeney what to do with her body.

You can support a woman's bodily autonomy and criticize how a corporation markets that body at the same time.

Now someone steps in to post her own boobie sex-for-clicks photo:

The fact that I've posted a bikini photo doesn't mean I forfeited the right to criticize how women are sexualized in sports marketing. If anything, dragging up a two-year-old photo of my body instead of addressing the argument is proving the point all over again.

Proving I'm a liar and a hypocrite is just proving her point that women are sexualized in sports marketing. Including of course her own sexualization of herself in sports marketing.

The only reason women wear bra and panties to work out is to appeal to men.

The only reason women get breast, butt or cheek implants is to appeal to men.

The only reason women wear makeup is to appeal to men.

A lot of these liberal women would probably be happier if they realised this is out of their control, nobody gives a crap what they think and they should focus on things to improve their own lives.

But on the other hand, they give ace easy content and we can laugh at them.

I called out to Snowflake and her mom Starry and they came running across the street. I didn't know cats are like that. And there are two other neighbourhood cats hanging around.

If ace can get his crows together, Hadrian could supply dogs and I cats, maybe we could get an animal Blitzkreig together.

79 No one is mistaking Sweeney for an athlete. She's barely mistaken for an actress. She's big titted eye candy targeted at men who make up 75% of all sports betting. And its no surprise that a company that preys on gambling addiction has no issue exploiting women in the process.

it’s the sexualization of women in sports in combination with football gambling. I don’t see what there is to be happy about it

There's been a billion other examples of sex appeal being used to market products yet Sydney Sweeney is being singled out for some reason.

Jealousy and envy by other women. That’s the why.

You can’t be my body my choice, but also your body my choice

Yeah because there’s no room for nuance so feminism means we actually gotta support all braindead gambling ads. Nobody is coming for your virginity bro you can relax

it’s somehow that she’s considered “MAGA”. That’s why everyone is acting like this is the first time an attractive woman was used in advertising. I don’t know who hates her more, other women or incels, but this hate is impressive.

125 Here's what it's all about:

In the '60s and '70s, the "youth" were the rebels, the counter-culture revolutionaries, the hip kids. Meanwhile, "conservatives" were the shriveled up old people, the unfashionable squares, the ugly prudes.

As a result, the commies used young chicks and promises of sex and "free love" and half-naked promiscuous hippie girls to lute peole into leftist thought. The Left is sexy, the right is anti-sex, went the message.

Fast-forward several decades, and OOOPS things have reversed -- not entire, but substantially.

Yes, younger people still tilt left (due to brainwashing in school), but now, within that cohort, the uglier and fatter you are, the more leftist you tend to be. Hot girls wants to preserve the cultural values that place them at the pinnacle of desirability and thus power. So the prettier and more toned you are, the more "based" you are.

So now, to a great extent, the Right is sexy, and the Left is anti-sex.

THIS is what the freakout over Sidney Sweeney is based on, at its core. The Left is realizing that they have lost their primary technique to lure in men, which now has been seized by the Right.

You have to give up the fantasy of being fitter than the fascists. It’s not just that it’s cringe or strategically bad, though it is. I think it’s also politically revealing. Fitness is a measure of relative disposability under capitalism. Our task is not to become less disposable, to become more useful to the ruling order. What we all need to be doing is rejecting disposability in all of its forms. The point is not to beat the fascists at their own game. It is not to lay a better claim on their own territory by being fitter, more eugenic. In fact, the more dysgenic, the better, I think. Revolution is not a contest between optimized and properly prepared bodies. The idea is fascist in and of itself.

They don't strip out all the stupid and just learn speech patterns so all this does kind of get absorbed. Although there are AIs like PHI just trained on textbooks and literature. It was interesting.

But basically, these angry chicks are just a loud minority most of the world will never hear from.

And from the Bible project I was working on I've concluded that if these chicks aren't rending their garments, they're not truly pissed, sad or upset.

Women will TELL you it's because they want to 'feel better about themselves,' but when you boil it down, women wouldn't take the time to 'look good' if men didn't care........
Posted by: Sponge - F*ck Cancer at September 16, 2026 12:18 PM (ccf/V)

This last one in the list is the only one I might disagree with. Make up and fancy hair at proms, weddings, and the like? That's not necessarily for the men, though if a man compliments her for it, great. It's often an unspoken competition between the women. Hence, the harshest criticisms of a woman's body usually come first from the woman herself, and then from those women who don't like her.

It's why mean girls cliques can drive some adolescent girls to despair, suicide, and the like. They can be quite vicious and detailed.

For Sidney, the rage against her selling her body is simply jealousy. Women like this NHL reporter know they don't look like her, that their prime (assuming they had one) is likely in the past, and they don't like that very in-your-face reminder.

I think this is half of it. The left has gone all in on Marxist anti-normalcy. If you're on the side of the revolution, you can get away with anything you want. Sweeney has famously chosen not to kiss the ring, so they consider her an enemy.

The other half is jealous women hate her for being hot. They hide their attacks in the words of the revolution (setting women back, setting women athletes back), but their primal motivation is sexual jealousy.

The critical middle is tired of the BLM fraud about the criminality of the urban welfare class, tired of the pussy hatted professional activists and their silly Handmaiden tales, and tired of Muzloids that simply cannot throw over their programming to kill everyone, especially non Muslims. And on the right, it is tired of the fake and gay Massie and Co being paid by Qatar to go after the Jews. These people need to take a helicopter ride--one way ticket from Air Pinochet.

They've been taught to regurgitate "facts" without putting forth any effort to examine the premise upon which the so-called "facts" are based.

The other effect is laziness. These women are not only too lazy to think, they also believe they don't have to put forth any effort to make themselves attractive to the opposite sex.

Which is why we get scoldilocks in a dog collar making a video complaining about Sydney Sweeney.

Peterson released her memoir, Yours Cruelly, Elvira: Memoirs of the Mistress of the Dark, on September 21, 2021. She revealed in the book that she has been in a relationship with a woman, Teresa "T" Wierson, since 2002. They began their romantic relationship following Peterson's separation from her husband.

Peterson identifies as sexually fluid, though she also accepts "pansexual" as a label.

Peterson was a vegetarian for many years; as of 2021, she continues to maintain a "mostly vegetarian" diet[61] consisting mostly of organic food.[62] She maintains a "toned...down" regimen of yoga, pilates and physical activity for self-care, and reduced her previous heavy drinking to a more moderate level.

Wednesday Morning Rant

mannixape2.jpg

A Hollow Justification

Over time - and over the past several years in particular - a common theme has arisen on these pages and in the wider world: the loss of trust. The loss of trust, be it institutional or personal, is easy to identify and straightforward to describe, but it can be difficult to internalize. It is hard, as Heinlein might put it, to grok it. Even if one acknowledges a loss of trust and intellectually understands that it has happened, nothing will prevent him from appealing to a trust that no longer exists. The concept of trust, and especially institutional trust, is deeply ingrained.

This phenomenon is what leads to baffling thinkpieces about how, despite the risks involved, an institution (usually a government) should be permitted to do X, Y or Z because the benefits are so great and the risks are small unless there are are dishonest operators. Such thinkpieces should be impossible to produce with any amount of seriousness in Current Year, yet they still come, sometimes from unlikely quarters. On Monday, JJ's Morning Report linked to just such a thinkpiece, published in the American Thinker.

That article, A Defense Of License Plate Readers, tries to build a case that automatic license plate readers - "ALPR" systems - like Flock are totally fine. It highlights perfectly a now baffling appeal to trust, as well as dipping into "ends justify the means" territory and supporting it with strawmen. It starts out with the appeal to trust, right in its sub-headline:

Should we dismantle a super-valuable law enforcement tool just because it's theoretically possible to abuse it?
Set aside for a moment that the risks are demonstrably not merely theoretical. The position itself is baffling. If anyone has not learned over the past decade that there is no daylight between a potential risk and a realized risk when it comes to government operations, that person is engaged in self-delusion.

But the article doesn't jump right in. In traditional fashion, it starts with a harrowing tale of a violent crime where the offender was found thanks to an ALPR system. There has to be some gut-tugging pathos right up front if the reader can be expected to ignore all of the problems to follow. If it saves just one life, dotchyaknow. After the emotional hook comes the false equivalence: that this is really no different from running a plate during a traffic stop, it's just a teeny little bit broader:

... Officers routinely consult computer-aided dispatch records; driver and vehicle databases; the National Crime Information Center (NCIC); the Interstate Identification Index (III); and various local, state, and regional intelligence systems. These resources allow officers to perform a wide array of investigative tasks. Officers routinely use them to identify wanted persons, locate stolen property, review criminal histories, and share intelligence with other agencies.

An ALPR database performs a very similar function. At its most basic level, it records that a publicly displayed license plate, attached to a particular vehicle, passed a particular location at a particular time. ...

Thus, consulting an ALPR database is not fundamentally different from querying a license plate or driver's license during a traffic stop or checking a suspect for warrants. Each task involves access to information for a legitimate law enforcement purpose. ...

Sure. Pull the other one. It jingles. These things are obviously not the same. One usually involves a traffic stop or, at least, human effort. That requires either a reason to engage in the query (the traffic stop) or enough desire to manually collect and run license plate numbers. Throwing out acronyms and drawing false equivalencies doesn't help the argument, but it does help confuse the issue - and so the tactic is useful.

Much later in the article comes the acknowledgment that these things are in fact different, but with an assertion that the difference should be ignored and can be obviated through arbitrary distinctions:

A routine license plate check begins with a vehicle that is already encountered by an officer. By contrast, ALPR cameras automatically collect the plate information of all vehicles that pass by. A network of cameras can then assemble those observations much more efficiently than individual officers watching traffic.

One concern that has been expressed is that ALPRs can be used to reconstruct one's location and activity history. This is a legitimate concern, and the solution is to adopt rules suited to the scale to which an ALPR system is used. Although a single ALPR hit is not the same thing as GPS tracking, broad or prolonged tracking should require a higher level of approval. In some cases, warrants should be required. However, short-term searches for a stolen car are not the same as reconstructing months of someone's movements.

In this case, they are the same. The dragnet is there and the panopticon is built. Setting a time limit on queries that needs a rubber stamp to override it is not a solution. To think it could be a solution is to still be burdened by institutional trust. That the writer has this burden is obvious from elsewhere in the article:
Every useful technology comes with risks. An officer can misuse a driver's license database to obtain an ex-girlfriend's address. A dispatcher can access criminal history or CAD notes without a legitimate reason. A detective can leak confidential information to a friend. Such conduct is already prohibited, and many officers have lost their law enforcement certifications and have been prosecuted for improperly accessing restricted information.

The problem with the "misuse" objection is that it proves way too much. If possible or actual misuse is enough to stop the public implementation of some technology, then it would apply to almost every government tool or power that has ever been used (whether in a criminal, civil, or administrative context). ...

Your terms are acceptable. Getting rid of ALPR systems would be a good start on a wider stand-down of mass surveillance technologies. The more the merrier. None of it - and none of its operators - can be trusted. "Misuse" (which I increasingly think is the wrong word, since these systems appear to be designed to be used in the "wrong" way) is not a risk, it is an inevitability - and it occurs almost immediately.

The entire class of thinkpieces from "conservatives" trying to rationalize mass surveillance technology with a rich history of egregious behavior by its operators is baffling. What about mass surveillance is suddenly rock-ribbed? Nothing. It comes from, I think, two sources. The first is vestigial trust, the belief that the system can be "safeguarded against abuse." It can't. Recent and more distant history does not show any success in safeguarding any system against abuse, which is why good systems design aims for systems that are smaller rather than larger and decentralized rather than centralized.

Outside of a poorly-construct and weak appeal to non-existent trust, I think there may be something more pernicious involved in some this: short-sighted faith that it's okay because "we're in charge." If you didn't click the links, go read the EFF and ILJ reports I referenced just below the fold. EFF in particular chose to cherry-pick specific abuses that are mostly around communist agitators like "No Kings" and abortion clinics while the ILJ focuses more on immigration and personal abuses like stalking, with no mention of any of these dragnets going against conservatives. Reports like these help provide a false sense of security to the "other side" - these systems are working for you! Comfort in advocating for these systems simply because "your side is in charge," if that is part of it, is short-sighted and foolish to the point of stupidity because even if it's true - and it isn't, as the last decade thoroughly demonstrates - "your side" will not be in charge forever.

Articles like this one that extol putative benefits but not the record of abuses, choose "safeguarding" and "rules" as a solution, hearken back to a world of trust that no longer exists, set up strawmen and drift into "the ends justify the means" territory on the back of bloody pathos are themselves prime evidence of core weakness of argument. Universal mass surveillance dragnets are a bad idea, are designed to be "misused" and are antithetical to liberty - and mental gymnastics in weak thinkpieces can do nothing to change that

27 20 Part of me feels like they're just starting to be honest about it.

The rest of me feels like this is the natural and expected impact of spending two generations teaching everyone that white people are the worst thing to ever happen to humanity.

The weak-minded and weak-willed will be more susceptible to that message than normal people. Liberal women in particular, needing acceptance in The Group more than they need self-respect and logical consistency, are the target audience and it shows.

A broad theory I have is that white progressives thought electing Barack Obama would lead to racial utopianism.

When that didn't happen, they blamed white people generally and felt like any effort to even run at all against Obama in 2012 was a betrayal. They already hated us, but the hatred shifted to hatred of the self because of their skin.

It's the moment that they internalized that their skin made them the enemy of progress.

Perhaps we could have an organization that is empowered with law enforcement and investigatory abilities that can be tasked with investigating, locating, and recovering stolen vehicles, and then prosecuting those involved.

One could say the same thing about the potential for abuse by having ANY police department. The only real solution is to have draconian punishments for abuse of the public trust, but we've seen how that's worked out over the last 10-20 years. That's why trust has been lost.

If there's no legit reason to browse a cities' Flock or other security camera network's data... why are they allowing it?

And then have the municipal government entities who approved the surveillance systems to explain the placement criteria. Why is a camera pointed at a kiddy pool? At a gun store? At a night club? Wouldn't those places have their own security devices inside the perimeter?

That the municipalities are unwilling to discuss any of that in public is sort of telling.

58 BREAKING NEWS: Lena Dunham has welcomed her first child via surrogate.

The 40-year-old Girls creator and husband Luis Felber announced that they had welcomed a new child in an op-ed for Vogue published Wednesday morning.

Dunham had kept relatively quiet about her hopes to become a parent after she underwent a hysterectomy in 2018.

The actress and writer made the difficult decision to have a total hysterectomy to remove her uterus and cervix and an ovary after enduring years of endometriosis-related pain.

Dunham married Peruvian-British musician Felber in a low-key London ceremony back in September 2021.

Felber previously revealed how they were set up on a blind date by a mutual friend and got on so well on their first meeting that they 'didn't stop talking for eight hours'.

Turns out at least one tome made it to the New York Times’ Bestseller list. Said list is compromised, sadly, but it’s still a feather in Hostin’s cap.
You go, birthing person!
That’s not enough, though. She wants to see her stories on the big screen. And she blames racism for their absence.

The cop is present and, in the event of bad behavior, can take action to either resolve the issue, or protect themselves, depending on the nature of the infraction and the race of the perpetrator.

A flock camera compiles a historical record of your activities which can be perused later, when actions which were once legal have been declared illegal.

These are not the same.

64 In the television show Person of Interest, Harold Finch builds the ultimate digital panopticon. However, he's very much aware of the potential for abuse.

His solution is to encrypt the "black box" of the Machine so thoroughly that it simply cannot be hacked. The only information anyone is allowed to access is a SSN. "Relevant" numbers--those related to national security concerns--are passed to government agencies. "Irrelevant" numbers--where a crime has been identified that's NOT pertinent to national security--are passed off to Finch and his colleague Reese.

In both cases, humans are directed to take a closer look at the SSNs involved, rather then being handed a complete picture of the situation. They must then use OTHER tools to figure out what's going on.

The breadth, the permanence.

The camera isn't just "monitoring" - it's recording. Every individual's whereabouts at that moment become a permanent living record.

. . . regardless of criminal activity undertaken by the observed.

Those non-criminal activities observed by the cop are then immediately mentally discarded, as opposed to catalogued for future use against you by LE, by stalkers, by PIs gaining illegitimate access, by politicians, etc.

The cop is not keeping voluminous records of every person's activities. And if he sees a crime being committed, he can act then and there to apprehend the perp, thereby stopping the perp's crime spree. The Flock camera might observe the crime, record it, and provide enough information to arrest the perp, at some later date, after he has committed many more crimes.

103 The cop is expected to make at least an attempt to provide notice that they believe you have broken the law immediately at that time. You know immediately what you will need to compile to prove otherwise. Even if you cannot prove otherwise or the courts do not later accept that proof, you personally know the truth of what happened.

None of this is true when you receive an accusation a month later, or two months later, with nothing but a few photographs at best documenting the “crime”. Unless you are someone who thinks constantly in terms of alibis, there is rarely anything you can recall from that specific moment and place to successfully counter the accusation even in your own mind, let alone that of the “court”.

The visible, physical presence of the cop also acts as a *deterrent* to crime because criminals are less likely to commit a crime if they reasonably believe that they will be chased down by a nearby cop.

However, Flock cameras (and other surveillance tools) are NOT readily visible or identifiable as such, so criminals will be MORE likely to commit crimes if they believe that they are not being surveilled.

The cop isn't connected to the internet with unlimited storage. While the cop on the street corner is conducting surveillance for the state he is not cataloging every single person's face and location constantly.


As you said the cop is watching for bad behavior and he will react to that, he is not standing there 24/7 collecting data on every person that walks by him that will be preserved and be searchable forever.

it gets me thinking (uh oh.)

What this is is a step closer to omniscience -- the all knowing god in the sky. Here are the problems
- abuse of the information for non crimes by those with access
- abuse by gov. creating new crimes in emergencies, like covid or global warming. (we are already there.)
- abuse by gov creating so many crimes that everyone is guilty of something (we are already there.)
- shifting from crime prevention to social control (most of the world is already here - social credit, speech restrictions, theocratic control, ...)

And none of the above requires any real leap -- it is the world we are already in and the cameras are just giving the authoritarians and totalitarians a powerful new tool. Why would anyone think that is a good idea?

When we lived in connecticut the cops would run license plate scanners in parking lots. They would cruise the lot scanning plates until they got a hit or they ran out of cars. They would then move on to the next parking lot. It's no different than them looking for stolen cars using the mark I eyeball, they just do it faster with the scanners.

The cops aren't the only ones accessing Flock.

Flock sells your data to anyone for any reason, with or without a warrant. They've been quite open about this.

Their terms of use now state the installer "Grants Flock the “exclusive right to determine and control” how, when, and in what format customer data is accessed," and adds a "perpetual" license for Flock to use customer data to "support and improve" its services, "even after the customer ends the relationship."

They can keep and sell your image and data to anyone at any time for any reason, forever.

196 Another consideration with surveillance systems is this; when an erroneous "hit" on someone is used to issue a ticket or summons, it typically requires the target to prove otherwise.

For example, a license plate with an "8" on it that is confused with a "B". Imagine the mistake leads to thinking the person in question, or the vehicle, is involved in something other than a speeding or parking violation.

The speeding or parking is minor. Yet, if you're compelled to appear in person, your time is consumed with arguing about the validity of the data used to issue the citation in the first place. Not whether it's your fault or not.

216 So everyone knows where I'm coming from, I have often felt that license plates on cars are a violation.

In CA they have a law (had?) that you get (I think) 6 months before you have to put a real plate on a car. 6 months of no plate for new cars. So tech billionaires would buy a new car every 6 months to keep their car anonymous. I don't mind cops being able to ID a car ***after**** it is found suspect of a crime (speeding or whatever) but the plates reveal ID *before* hand and that feels like a violation of the 14th. They get around that of course by claiming that driving is a "privilege" and not a right. Fuck them. That may have been true in 19th century but it is now a necessity to live.

But that precise point is where we disagree the most strongly.

Better-half once got a ticket from Tucson, our jeep driven by our son got caught by a photo radar trap. The ticket came to her with our son's picture and a copy of her license with the F crossed out an and M hand written. She ignored it, got a subpoena, went to court, the judge says you aren't male throws the ticket out and tells her to pay for the cost of the subpoena. She objects on the grounds it shouldn't have been issued in the first place. The judge attempts charge for additional BS, she stands her ground and judge all waves fees (while the court recorder smirks).

She asked about the original fraud but couldn't get anywhere. sigh.

I got a ticket in TX from a red light camera. In 2023. Problem is, they were made illegal in 2019 by the TX Legislature.

I got some nasty grams in the mail from a law firm that had me mail the check to the other end of the country of all things, threatening all sorts of nonsense if I didn’t pay an illegally issued ticket. Cool. I mailed them a copy of the TX Transportation Code. Relevant portion highlighted.

Haven’t heard from them since.

I am open to some degree of public filming. I expect and accept toll booth cameras, red light cameras, et al. They are there to capture violations as they happen.

What Flock is doing, though, ISN'T just filming. People (generally) wouldn't oppose just filming.

It's constructing complete dossiers on every single person who must - in the course of their daily lives, and without consent - subject themselves to releasing the entirety of that dossier to anyone upon demand.

235 It is axiomatic that if a government program or system can be abused, it will be.
Consider how far in debt the government's credit card program is, Social Security, Welfare, SNAP, etc. It is no different (except perhaps in scale) at the local level. I will bet 100 quatloos that in every city where FLOCK camera exist, some cop and/or local pol is using it to track a spouse, girl/boyfriend, political enemy, etc.

236 My ideal system would have a constantly changing QR code on every car, revealing a crypto key that allows someone with authorization to query the car for ID but only if (a) they know the key, which expires within seconds or minutes, and (b) they have the authorized equipment which is restricted to trained and licensed authorities only to be used with probable cause.

Use of equipment would be audited and cop would have to explain the probable cause for each use. No one in public would be able to ID a car or see license, just the useless qr code.

Of course, AI has mooted this plan as we now can ID cars based on dirt patterns on the fender.

It is my belief that, for a variety of reasons, Erich Mielke's Stasi provided the template for our dystopia. Not just surveillance, but also propaganda, and especially, above all, (there is no appropriate English word for it), the Zersetzung.

I think when the Cold War ended and our intelligence apparatus turned against the home country, they looked at the formidable machine Mielke built and said "we can do this on a scale Erich could only imagine in his wildest dreams."

Exactly my argument against the Patriot Act after 9-11. There were a number of folks I know that thought it was a GREAT idea, because Bush was President, but I reminded them if they'd trust it in the hands of a President Hilary Clinton...and if not, it was definitely NOT a good idea.

251 A routine license plate check begins with a vehicle that is already encountered by an officer. By contrast, ALPR cameras automatically collect the plate information of all vehicles that pass by.

It allows someone to be followed without any sort of limit.

Quite simply, if an individual officer followed someone all day, gathering the information a Flock system can gather, unless the officer was actively investigating said person, the officer would be guilty of harassment and possibly stalking. If a department used several officers, stationed around town, to do the same thing, it would definitely be harassment on the part of the department.

All Flock does is substitute a computer and a bunch of cameras for the harassing officer.

Posted by: GWB at September 16, 2026 12:32 PM (kU0PQ)

252 This is a legitimate concern, and the solution is to adopt rules suited to the scale to which an ALPR system is used.

Talking about "rules" means nothing without a thorough accompaniment of how vigorously those rules are employed and enforced. Every State has robust rules against voter fraud, but without enforcement the fraud goes rampant.

I wholly reject the concept of "no expectation of privacy in public spaces." Unless I am in the act of committing a crime, or it is reasonably inferable that I am going to commit a crime, I have EVERY expectation of privacy in a public space.

The Constitution says that the government cannot take any interest in me without a warrant. We need to return to that standard. Enforceably.

Posted by: LCMS Rulz! at September 16, 2026 12:37 PM (bufu1)

253 ALPRs are like "perv glasses". Thr problem isn't that people can see and count you, it's that the activity is secret and unseeable. When public photograpgy was deemed legal, Brownie cameras and later video tape recordrs were large and obvious to spot, and if someone speaking to you held a camera, you could change your reaction to disapproval.

Along the same lines, tapping phones was undetectable and therefore ullegal. Even unmarked cars are rare, but the car itself is visible.

But the guy in the bushes, looking in your window and idly counting the perfume bottles on your dresser is not.

The differences with ALPRs and wearing Perv Glasses from normal behavior is as simple as Spy vs. Spy. And for some good reason the punishment for spying is summary execution.

59 I know a land where the bluebonnets grow. They bloom on the hills and down where it’s low, in valley, on plain, in path on the lane, and when in the spring the wild flowers blow, they cover the hills with blue all a-glow, and nod their heads in the rain.

Who would not live in this land of delight where flowers are Blue and Red and White? And birds in the sky with carol and lay are heard in the glen and on mountain height? Where nature reveals a beauteous sight and blue bonnets grow by the way?

Long wave the Bonny Blue Banner on high, with ever the Stars and Stripes floating by, in unity show to friend and to foe that Love, the Lone Star, supreme in the sky e’er glows with a light that never shall die, where lovely bright blue bonnets grow.

Texas, my Texas, may God never cease to bless you with truth and wisdom’s increase. Your cause ever be humanity’s plea, your hope that on earth, greed and war will surcease and bluebonnets grow as a symbol of peace, in the Lone Star State by the sea.

65 What a beautiful example of what Impressionism can achieve. If I saw this in a gallery I could spend hours looking at how he applied color and used brush strokes. He really caught the look and, more importantly, feel of fresh blossoms on an early morning. The colors are soft and muted but the brilliance of the bluebonnets comes through even before the rising sun burns off the mists. It is a quiet, peaceful, restful scene. It calls for the viewer to be as quiet whether looking at the painting or the actual landscape.

The painting reminds me of seeing local bluebells (different plants but similar appearance) as they emerge near streams in the spring. We look forward to it every year.

Look at some of Onderdonk's other works on his Wiki page. They have the same ability to show a landscape and the emotional sense it provides. His paintings are as good as any of the French masters of the style from a previous generation. What a shame he does so young.

73 The Rice Owls played in the 1954 Cotton Bowl Classic against the Crimson Tide of Alabama. The game featured one of the most famous plays in college football history when Rice's Dickey Moegle burst free on a sweep play, and on his way down the sideline, was tackled by Tommy Lewis, who had come off the Alabama sideline without his helmet to tackle Moegle. Referee Cliff Shaw saw Lewis come off the bench and gave the Owls the 95-yard touchdown.

104 A Cloudy Day, Bluebonnets near San Antonio, Texas 1918
Julian Onderdonk

It's so calm & pretty, would definitely hang this piece. Thanks.
--
Amon Carter Museum of American Art

Julian Onderdonk left his hometown in 1901 to study painting in New York City. That summer, he enrolled in classes at William Merritt Chase’s art school in Shinnecock Hills, Long Island, where he developed a facility for plein-air landscapes. In 1909, he moved back to San Antonio and began to paint the natural scenery of the surrounding Hill Country region, focusing on the spring wildflower blooms.

Onderdonk’s interest in the Hill Country was unconventional; most Texas landscape painters of his era favored the arid expanses of West Texas ranches. Nonetheless, Onderdonk gradually built a following, exhibiting his works both locally and in major national exhibitions. By the time of his early death at 40, he had helped usher in a new regional aesthetic that pictured Texas through the lens of contemporary impressionism rather than the rugged iconography of the so-called frontier.

Fun fact: The many reservoirs along the many Texas rivers were initiated following a severe drought in the mid 50s. Some of these reservoirs distribute water to adjacent watersheds (Dallas takes a lot of water out of East Texas). Current laws would not allow such scandalous development and the financial offsets of eliminating taxable property AND providing 3:1 offsets for reservations of virgin ecological/natural acres would make it prohibitive.

Now take into account the Colorado River crisis, the AL-GA-TN-whoever else crisis, and a thousand other cases where growing metroplexes are sucking all the water out of a huge area.

This is a problem that's been growing in multiple regions over a VERY long time with no real solutions. The whole crisis of states trying to nullify federal law may be over immigration and partisan politics, but eventually it will come around to these multi-state suits.

221 Racism in Hollywood.

Hold on tight. Sunny Hostin is playing the race card.

The far-Left “View” host played it for personal reasons this time. Hostin, unbeknownst to many, is a published author. Her book series includes titles like “Summer on the Bluffs” and “Summer on Highland Beach.”

Turns out at least one tome made it to the New York Times’ Bestseller list. Said list is compromised, sadly, but it’s still a feather in Hostin’s cap.

You go, birthing person!

That’s not enough, though. She wants to see her stories on the big screen. And she blames racism for their absence.

“And the gatekeeping in Hollywood around Black and Brown creative content is insane,” she continued. “I cannot get New York Times best-selling books onto the screen to tell diverse stories to diverse communities.”

The Morning Report — 9/ 16 /26

AmericaCourtsDisaster.jpg

Good morning kids.

So, yesterday I railed about jury nullification and the abuse of our legal system and judiciary as a means of political repression and the general advancement of Democrat/Leftist ideology and the attainment of absolute political power. Left unmentioned is the most egregious and most dangerous form of nullification: that which emanates from the bench itself, and yet again the greatest example comes from the highest court in the land, the one that's supposed to set the gold standard for justice and the advancement of the rule of a just and stable law, but in recent years, not coincidentally coinciding with the appearance of Donald Trump and the MAGA movement not the scene, SCOTUS has seen some outrageous examples of just the opposite, DObbs and Bruen notwithstanding.

SCOTUS Denies Stay on Ruling Blocking Trump Mail-In Ballot Restrictions: Alito and Thomas dissented: “Some of the plaintiffs lack standing, while the remainder are pursuing a claim that this Court has recently called a ‘Hail Mary pass’ that ‘rarely succeeds.’”

Further, Alito all but declared j'accuse...

Did the Supreme Court’s liberal justices slow-walk their dissents in litigation over President Trump’s mail-in voting order to run out the clock on its implementation for the 2026 midterms? That seems to be what Justice Samuel Alito subtly suggested in the court’s most recent ruling on the subject

And so on the one hand, the Leftists want to pack the court with their political allies who will subvert the Constitution and the guiding principles of American and western jurisprudence to advance their Sharia-esque goal o absolute power and control via the advancement and forcing of their preferred insane policies on our society and people. Most recently and vociferously from Mayor Buttplug, who potentially may announce a run for the presidency in 2028.

And of course, if they can't achieve that goal then they are simply calling for SCOTUS and the Constitution itself to be utterly demolished, along with the Presidency, the Senate and the Electoral College.

Considering the surge in popularity of the Democrat Socialites, this fringe madness could be mainstreamed faster than we imagine. Certainly if SCOTUS continues to abrogate its duty to defend the Republic and the rule of law, we are going to wake up in a nightmare.

And speaking of nightmare scenarios, we have this to contend with.

The basis for Muslim political donations in the United States, is preventing non-Muslims from “coalescing amongst themselves and uniting” to defend themselves. This isn’t civic participation: it’s the tribal divide and conquer politics of the origins of Islamic colonialism and imperialism. . . Muslim PACs previously claimed that they were just people representing their communities. The Fiqh system pulls back the curtain to show a central body of Islamic scholars trying to use money to control the outcome of American elections for “benefitting the Ummah” (meaning the global Muslim community’s local or foreign interests) “either in one’s own country or locality (such as countering a clearly anti-Muslim politician with an agenda of harm) or internationally.”

Any politician taking money routed through this method would be acting as a puppet for an Islamic theocracy which would be using them to covertly exert its control over Americans.
It’s hard to think of anything more un-American than a foreign theocracy hijacking our elections.

Yeah, that's crazy talk right there, you conspiracy nutters! So let's all lose our heads (pun intended) over this, But AI! Oh no, it's Armageddon...

Have a good day.

I don't think James Madison is around this early, but he's posted data showing gas prices don't actually have a measurable impact on elections (in either direction).

I'm not sure if you'd agree with it or not, but the data is out there.

but remember

The average family spends around 2% of their budget on the cost of gasoline to drive to school, work, and holidays.

If the Progressives and Media are raging about an issue, it usually is a less than 2% issue.

It occurs to me that if there wasn't the current conflict with Iran, the antagonistic mullahs could have done what they're doing now, and it would have the same effect.

People who hate Trump will blame him regardless.

If there's one thing that slightly bugs me, it was Trump's declarations about "a deal" multiple times with little to show for it. But... the fuel prices could very well have spiked for other reasons had the conflict not been going on.

Yeah, kinda indifferent on his music but this pairing was a set-up.

So many entertainers are happy to get political, with an audience who love that vibe, so why would you then instead pair Macklemore with a guy whose audience loves bland, pop love songs and NO politics? It's like the trans activist showing up on the online knitting forum and insisting all knitters pledge to support trans kids, or the immigrant author declaring the romance novels are "too white" and stirring up a social media mob to harass success authors to be more "inclusive."

It's the same game, over and over again. This time it's about "zionist censorship," but last year it was about "trans erasure," and a few years before that it was about [pick your media format] being "too white."

Instead of taking the activist bait, shut down the game.
I don't have to debate your pet politics to enjoy music, and the singers sure as heck aren't required to take your political purity test.

Further, while people support balancing the budget, doing so would either require massive tax increases, supported by the people who currently pay nothing in taxes, or massive cuts to social spending, supported by some of the people who do pay taxes, no majority supports any of the approaches. Confiscatory taxes come closest, mostly because people foolishly believe that government wouldn't continue spending $1.50 for every dollar that comes in.

163 Prior to becoming PM of Canada, Mark Carney was the Governor of the Bank of England. Canada is a Commonwealth country that has always had more historical and cultural ties to the UK than it does to the US.

I doubt Carney's decision to nuke the US trade deal was a spur of the moment thing and I don't think closer ties with the EU is something that just happened today.

Old alliances, many that didn't have our best interests at heart but were designed for the betterment of the globalist cabal, are being shredded and a new order is being established. Trump's pivot away from Europe and toward the western hemisphere is real.

164 Keep the 19th Amendment. For Now. Think Constitution 2.0 and what is needed.

Understand this. Constitutions are social contracts, maybe a mission statement, nothing more. They are only as good as those who are entrusted to keeping them.

The former United States is no longer anything approaching a monoculture, that means a Mission Statement is absolutely impossible. We also have a penchant for electing trustees who are as wicked and depraved as ourselves. Then there is the sport of pilpul where no matter what document, no body of laws, no gentlemen's agreement—some asshole is going to wrest whatever agreement was in place to advance their own interests.

The Constitution was made for a self-regulating, religious people and is totally unsuitable for any other.

Macklemore’s discography isn’t nearly as big as Sheeran, but ones you may have heard are Thrift Shop, Same Love, Good Old Days, Downtown.

175 Of course! From JJ's link:

. . .Anthropic’s CEO Dario Amodei, who says he has found an outside team that can regulate AI and make sure it doesn’t destroy the world. . .

METR spun off from an Effective Altruism-aligned tech incubator called Alignment Research Center (ARC), which is headed by AI researcher Paul Christiano. He was Amodei’s housemate, coworker and research collaborator in the 2010s when they were both at OpenAI — Anthropic’s biggest rival.
One staffer on METR is Ajeya Cotra, who is married to Christiano and has been a major organizer in the EA world.

The founder and CEO of the group is Beth Barnes, who was hired by Christiano and was involved in the EA movement at college.

Chief scientist Hjalmar Wijk and staffers Megan Kinniment and Pip Arnott all came from the same research cluster at the University of Oxford — a major feeder for EA.


This explains so much! He doesn't want the US government oversight, he wants his own friend's globalist, unaccountable to any government organization to oversee it.

Pretty sure the point was to force all in attendance at the Grammies to participate in a gay wedding - making a music awards ceremony into an LGBTQ event. There were no doubt Country and Gospel singers present who did not want to be part of that, and he was daring them to walk out and then face harassment for being anti-LGBTQ.

So suddenly the Saudi’s have been called out with their proverbial pants around their ankles, the Mecca Accords are revealed as a ridiculous farce, and Trump is kicking back in an easy chair, whistling Dixie and saying “just think how different things could be if you’d taken my advice.”

Every single person who voted against this or voted present is a depraved immoral coward
(Shows clip of vote count on motion to table Greene's impeachment resolution. What a retard lol)

If we impeach Trump again, I hope it's such a solid case even republicans have to vote for it. Otherwise I say Dems need to focus on keeping the county going until after the midterms.

Sure its pointless but there really isn't a reason to vote against either... how can we be sure they won't also try to block investigations?

Every act of resistance shows that resistance is possible and encourages others to resist. It forces collective attention onto Trump’s many impeachable offences and away from whatever agenda he wants publicised. It reminds everyone what the standard expected of presidents is and how far Trump has failed to meet it. It sends a message to foreign allies that there are parts of the system still working and that America is not going to simply acquiesce to Trump’s depredations. And because, as Zapata once said, it is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.

The same people are trying to do the same thing with AI. Put government sanctioned, left leaning censors in charge. They get the censorship they want and government cover which doesn't hurt when they are trying to get trillion dollar IPOs.

For a while there, especially when the Space X IPO had mixed reactions, there was this trial balloon to have the US tax payers "invest" in this AI money printing juggernaut.

And by "invest", corrupt government officials would likely create tranches where they and their cronies fully receive the benefits of the Cantillion Effect, and walk off with billions reaped off the forced "government partnership" (aka tax dollar purchase) of a dog stock as AI vulture capitalists realize that all of the promise of AI profits has already been realized in terms of its perceived value.

They are looking for a very deep pocketed fool to buy out their trillion dollar over-spend position.

"If there are things you wish the Republicans would've done? Well, they're DEFINITELY not gonna get done if you put the DSA IN CHARGE. In fact, EVERYTHING would be dead on arrival, and they'd spend the last 2 years of President Trumps' presidency going after him and his administration."

"That's ALL they'll do. They will not do a SINGLE thing that will benefit the American people."

This is why it's NEVER the correct alternative to elect country-destroyers just because we want more done by the GOP

I myself WISH the SAVE America Act were passed, but why would I elect the party of VOTER FRAUD, who would never even CONSIDER proof of citizenship and voter ID?

This is what makes sense to me. The guy running OpenAI feels like the king of all pyramid scams. Everything that has happened with AI, from video cards, to memory cards, the excitement/hysteria- all of it has felt like a massive pyramid scam.

Posted by: Aetius451AD at September 16, 2026 09:02 AM (Y/06r)

272 Kevin Bass, who made a name for himself criticizing the government’s response to COVID, has laid out what he says are “fourteen moves in eight days” to “create hysteria to manipulate Congress into regulating AI.”

He goes on to say that “almost everyone involved is affiliated with Coefficient, Open Philanthropy, Anthropic, and/or OpenAI — all of who serve to benefit financially from creating regulation.”

(Anthropic and OpenAI have more than doubled their lobbying spending in the first half of this year. Anthropic spent nearly $2 million in Q2 alone.)

But why would AI companies want the federal government to step in and regulate their industry? Because, as is the case with all government regulations, it’s the best way to block new entrants into a market. Big companies can hire lobbyists to make sure the rules are crafted to their liking, and they can easily absorb the costs of all the mandates. The little guys get shut out.

Definitions
n. One's range of knowledge.
n. Broad but not deep knowledge.
n. Proficiency, adeptness.

"Daf yomi is a good way to get bekius in gemara."
"Jesse has bekius in hilchos nisuin."

Any industry that is being essentially run by government instantly becomes significantly more valuable, particularly a new industry that is speculative. Government oversight means safety and safety means value. Trillions of value.

And in return the masters of the AI universe agree to be tools of the government and create their products to serve the government's wishes.

It's not a big mystery why the fast majority of pressure coming from the government to create an oversight bureaucracy for AI is coming from the left.

In sum, the answer is because there are no easy fixes, and everything you list takes years of hard choices, hard work, and clear thinking policy to achieve. The world energy situation is being massively transformed - few understand what a major impact that the Venezuelan agreement will have - but big moved in energy infrastructure always take 2 to 5 years to show up in public perception. No way around that.

One of the biggest reasons we’re in such a mess in so many areas is that for at least 50 years, those in power have been making decisions based on maximizing short term results while ignoring long term consequences. Well the long term is now here, and it’s not going to be fixed by any more short term tinkering.

If you're old enough to remember, under the first two years of Reaganomics the economy didn't improve that much. Because digging out from Carter wasn't going to happen overnight. And there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth.

And they we had years of a booming economy because turning around the economy and dealing with shit that should have been dealt with years ago instead of trying to bribe terrorists and kicking the can down the road takes time.

The economy is definitely better under Trump. Manufacturing is returning to the US, Iran is on the ropes and it's just a matter of time. And yea, getting rid of illegal and sealing the border is kind of a big deal.

He ran for the hills...

354 Is it acceptable to say one would prefer monarchy to democracy? If you think about it, God didn't try to talk the Israelites into democracy. Democracy seemed insane to Him.
Posted by: Oglebay at September 16, 2026 09:25 AM (2ap+5)

If you remember the story of Samuel, God didn’t prefer monarchy either, and Samuel explained how it would oppress them. But the people wanted a monarchy because everyone else had one, so they were allowed to find out for themselves.

378 Good Morning, all, and thank you, J.J.

Wondering where Nancy Pelosi has been, especially as she apparently still considers She continues to treat national midterms as "her race," fundraising heavily to ensure Democrats take back the House majority before she exits.

Punchbowl News, Tech, 'Obama, Pelosi, Harris face progressive AI money backlash'
Progressives are attacking top Democratic figures for backing an AI initiative created by one of the founding donors of a super PAC, Leading the Future, closely tied to the industry.

In part, "Former President Barack Obama, former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, former Vice President Kamala Harris and Democratic nominee for California governor Xavier Becerra all applauded venture capitalist Ron Conway’s Project Blueprint. The initiative aims to rebuild bridges between the tech industry and the Democratic Party.

But progressive advocates interested in AI regulation didn’t like that look."

Part of it is also: social media. It convinces you that all women are not only doing the shit you know about- but worse shit. Testimonials. Tiktok examples. etc etc.

The thing is, it is easy for a weak mind to get drawn in to all of it. To think that all women are that way, so I got a hot one and I can... exert some control over this. But dude (and I do not mean, you, Sponge) the reason you keep running into whores is because you are attracted to whores. They are attracted to you because, whore. This is not all women. This is just the subset you see.

383 The media are in quite a snit Tuesday afternoon after learning that Mike Rogers, the Republican candidate for Michigan's open U.S. Senate seat, did something that more GOP candidates should think about doing: he said "hard pass" to a debate with Democrat Abdul El-Sayed because the moderator is a leftist hack.

And Rogers has the receipts to prove it.

The Republican announced he will not participate in Tuesday night's FOX 2 Detroit debate, with his campaign pointing the finger squarely at moderator Roop Raj and what it describes as Raj's demonstrated history of “bias and favoritism” toward El-Sayed.

388 In sum, the answer is because there are no easy fixes, and everything you list takes years of hard choices, hard work, and clear thinking policy to achieve. The world energy situation is being massively transformed - few understand what a major impact that the Venezuelan agreement will have - but big moved in energy infrastructure always take 2 to 5 years to show up in public perception. No way around that.

One of the biggest reasons we’re in such a mess in so many areas is that for at least 50 years, those in power have been making decisions based on maximizing short term results while ignoring long term consequences. Well the long term is now here, and it’s not going to be fixed by any more short term tinkering.

Sierra Times, 'California Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi Joins Democratic Women's Caucus In Slamming Trump’s Health and Human Services (HHS) For Plan To Gut Head Start' Published and Last Updated: Wednesday, 16 September 2026

It seems, in part, they sent "a letter to Health and Human Services (HHS) demanding HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. withdraw their proposed rule to gut 90% of Head Start Program Performance Standards (HSPPS) that would increase costs for families and eliminate educational resources women and families rely on. The letter was signed by 87 House Democrats."

Locally, all I saw in the past was a crappy babysitting program, allowing a lot of 'parents' free time.

And, of course, Nancy is still endorsing & campaigning for Connie Chan - already securing her a spot in the upcoming November general election runoff in California - and blocking State Senator Scott Wiener.

Don't forget her, still the lead.

11 Oxford Essential Quotations

Sadi
ca. 1213
Persian poet

I never complained at the vicissitudes of fortune, nor murmured at the ordinances of Heaven, excepting once, when my feet were bare, and I had not the means of procuring myself shoes.

I entered the great mosque at Cufah with a heavy heart when I beheld a man who had no feet.

I offered up praise and thanksgiving to God for his bounty, and bore with patience the want of shoes.

usually quoted as ‘I cried because I had no shoes, until I met a man who had no feet’

63 Here's a Christian twist on the sentiment:

There is a 19th-century tradition tracing to Bradford the idiomatic "There but for the grace of God go I" as an expression of humility and reliance on God's grace rather than his own morality. The editor of The Writings of John Bradford, Aubrey Townsend, notes this in his preface:

The familiar story, that, on seeing evil-doers taken to the place of execution, he was wont to exclaim, "But for the grace of God there goes John Bradford", is a universal tradition which has overcome the lapse of time.

I guess it's the story after the story that makes the difference.

Does he walk away feeling better about himself and ignore the other guy completely, or does he realize his own problems are trivial and do something tangible to help the other guy?

Obviously the latter is probably the point of the story. But... you know... i'm just a rotten bastard who assumes everything else is also rotten. So pay me no mind.

116 Anna Puma's work has led me to wonder, can AI image and animation be used to create pictures and videos featuring Mo? Yes, her work is beautiful and it's not against the terms of use, but I wonder if creating images/video of Mo violates terms of use of the major AI image creation sites.

More usefully, I need to find a local model to run that does image creation.

133 Many a pulpit has warned of Gog and Magog as the coming of the apocalypse and the end of time.

Those crazy Dispensationalists...

According to the Bible, not John Hagee:
Magog was one of the seven sons of Japeth; Japeth was one of three of Noah's sons. Gog is a descendant of the Magog tribe. Josephus and other scholars place the Magog tribe descendants with the Scythian people north of the Black Sea.

Pretty sure that the audience Ezekiel was writing to didn't require Bible Codes to decipher the prophecy's meaning.

Apparently the people of Magog were notoriously rebellious to God because historic Jewish interpretations and Christian amillennial reading of this as a generic collective of terrifying enemies of God as the nomadic horse people of the north who had a reputation of appearing suddenly and disappearing suddenly in the form of terrifying invasions. So Ezekiel's imagery was probably to set this idea into his audience's mind and heart.

Take it from there if you wish to compare to Rev 20 where the demonic forces that the Apostles chained during their ministry are release for a short time just before The End

I've done a little search on find a grave because I needed to verify a set of dates and the spelling of a name. Going through mom's side, I can go back to someone in 1577 in northern Britain. There are stories that FG is unreliable because anyone can add to your line.

Anyway, geneticists say that after about two to three generations, you have nothing from your ancestors anyway. So, although you can trace your line back that far, they really don't have any genetic connection to you.

I haven't gone that far into it. I just remember seeing some YT vids a few months ago talking about the subject. Usually a family tree site or something.

I would say without any scientific evidence of my own, that the person who died in Durham in 1577 probably wouldn't look like me and would probably not have looked like his direct male relative from 1066.

Understood. The American Religion has largely replaced Christianity and has taken the name and wearing Christianity's reputation as a skin suit.

It isn't internal contradictions you are witnessing, its downright rejection, on their part to convey the Truth's of Scripture because the Bible's doctrines conflict greatly with what Americans want their god to be.

e.g. Seeker Sensitive is antithetical to Doctrines of Grace.

I reject the Bible as anything super literal. But, for the most part, I like the values and think they are good for people. There's just not enough valuing on Smiting Unto Thine Enemies in Christianity for me.

Soon enough I will convert to Catholicism for convenience.

Disappointing to say the least

Trump-appointed FBI Director Kash Patel echoed Trump's recent sentiments on Flock cameras and defended the FBI's access to and use of the cameras, telling the Senate Judiciary Committee he believes Flock license-plate cameras are not mass surveillance because they are in public places, so people should not expect privacy there.

He also argued the FBI does not get constant access to the data and only asks for information after it already has a lead, such as a photo of a car.

However, in Carpenter v. United States, the Supreme Court said people have a privacy right in the record of the whole of their movements, even if each trip is on a public road.

A large camera network that stores old license-plate hits can show where a person has been for days or weeks, including which doctors they visit, which protests they may attend, whether they go to gun stores or visit gun ranges for target practice, and much more.

That kind of stored travel history is closer to the cell-phone location records the Court said generally need a warrant.

Kash Patel has his moments where he shines - like during recent exchanges with members of Congress. But this is a reprehensible take on his part. We really have nobody on our side, do we?

Those of you who have traveled in mountainous areas have probably seen runaway truck ramps on the side of the road. But have you ever actually seen anyone use one?

Colorado troopers share video of semi truck using runaway ramp on I-70

CSP-runaway-ramp.jpg

The Colorado State Patrol (CSP) shared a recently-captured video of a runaway semi truck using an escape ramp along I-70.

CSP said that the video was captured a few days ago on westbound I-70 coming down Eisenhower Pass.

Troopers shared the video to encourage drivers to use the ramps if necessary and to educate motorists on how to respond if they see a commercial vehicle that needs to use a ramp due to brake failure.

“If you are driving down the road and observe a runaway semi-truck coming towards you in your rearview mirrors, stay calm and attempt to merge to the left, as all runaway truck ramps in Colorado are on the right shoulder. This will allow the truck to safely enter the ramp without colliding with anyone,” CSP said.

I guess it's a Star Trek thread now

Physicist proves famous ‘Star Trek’ combat strategy works

The most impressive science fiction stories emphasize “science” over spectacle. The Star Trek franchise has featured plenty of examples since the original series premiered 60 years ago this month, but one of its most famous sci-fi moments may prove even more fascinating than fans realized. At Brazil’s Federal University of ABC, physicist Níckolas de Aguiar Alves determined that an early episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation demonstrates an aspect to the theory of relativity even better than its creators likely anticipated.

Season One’s ninth episode, “The Battle,” introduces a bit of backstory to Jean-Luc Picard’s illustrious career in the Federation. Years before he became captain of the USS Enterprise, Picard oversaw a ship called the Stargazer when it came under fire from an unknown assailant. Picard needed to navigate closer to the mystery attacker before responding, but the Enterprise’s shields were down.

The captain then quickly improvised what later became known as the “Picard Maneuver.” He ordered his crew to rush their foe at warp speed (faster than the speed of light) then quickly halt and begin firing. Relativistic physics dictated that if Stargazer traveled faster than visible light, it would technically generate two images of the ship from their attacker’s point of view—one Stargazer at the location just prior to warp speed, then a Stargazer where it halted. The operation was risky, but it gave Picard and his crew a 50/50 chance that the enemy would continue firing on an afterimage of Stargazer.

***

In actuality, Picard’s Maneuver wouldn’t result in two Stargazer ships; it would make three of them. This is because Picard’s crew didn’t travel at a constant speed during the gambit–they first sped up, then stopped closer to their opponent. That means Stargazer technically accelerated not once, but twice. This makes all the difference.

This mean something to you, Trekkies?

How to Watch the Northern Lights from 12 States Tonight

Two fast-moving streams of solar wind, along with up to two passing bursts of charged particles from the sun, could make the northern lights visible late on Tuesday, Sept. 15, into early Wednesday, Sept. 16.

***

Look north after dark on Tuesday, Sept. 15, and keep an eye on the sky through the pre-dawn hours on Wednesday, Sept. 16. The most promising window is generally the darkest part of the night, after a crescent moon has set.

***

At G1 levels, the best odds are across Alaska and northern parts of Washington, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire.However, if activity briefly reaches G2, the auroral glow could extend further south, including parts of Oregon, Wyoming, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Colorado, Pennsylvania and New York.

No, but I've seen a truck at the end of one when I was traveling down a mountainside once. My Dad, on the other hand, saw what was left of a truck whose brakes went out going down same said mountain (before the current freeway cut through it)...the driver had a Navy guy that had hitched a ride.

25 I know you don’t want to hear this, but I don’t think Carpenter is applicable to Flock cameras. Carpenter said police generally need a warrant to obtain seven or more days of historical cell-site location information because it creates a detailed, retrospective record of a person’s movements. The ruling was pretty narrow and SCOTUS said as much. But I am no Whig, or even an Elric.

Well, first, the driver changes his shorts . . .

Then someone comes out and fixes the brakes, then tows the truck back onto the highway. The ramps typically are covered with a deep layer of gravel, so the truck is likely to sink into the gravel rather than roll backwards.

44 I know you don’t want to hear this, but I don’t think Carpenter is applicable to Flock cameras. Carpenter said police generally need a warrant to obtain seven or more days of historical cell-site location information because it creates a detailed, retrospective record of a person’s movements. The ruling was pretty narrow and SCOTUS said as much. But I am no Whig, or even an Elric.
Posted by: Piper at September 15, 2026 10:14 PM (ZdaMQ)


Flock also creates a detailed, retrospective record of a person’s movements. And the data is readily available to law enforcement - the good ones and the bad ones. Cell phone records are not readily available to law enforcement.

I'd say Flock data is worse as a 4th Amendment violation. Carpenter should reinforce that.

But I'm no lawyer either.

45 So what happens when the truck stops on the runaway ramp given that it has no brakes?
****

Pull the air brake. Just like you would when idling the truck while parked. Also, the truck goes up the ramp because of speed and momentum. Once it stops, the wheels are buried in sand and gravel. A tow truck is necessary to get the truck and trailer out of the ramp.

I believe it's a speed of light thing. If you could travel quite a bit faster than the speed of light, light reflected from where you started and where you ended could conceivably show up at the same time at a give point if you warped a bit closer to the target. The third image I'm not too sure of.

107 Biggest issue in Truck is illegal illiterates.


OTR driving is essentially slave labor given the whole trucking industry. If you are cool with living in a 7x7 box for 23 hours of the day, every day, and get rewarded with a net of $3-$5 per hour, and have massive debt due to the tractor lease/payments and maintenance, and insurance. Then sure. Recruiters have to hunt around homeless encampments, finding veterans with low skills, construction workers between jobs, etc. So the field is populated with low-lifes who are in financial bondage to the trucking school.

I can't think of a solution. You either get cartels and Teamsters holding the economy hostage for high wages (pre-Carter's deregulation in 1980) or get the foreigners who are cool with a pittance in pay.

111 Carpenter specifically said it doesn’t disturb security cameras. I don’t know, this fourth circuit thing might be more fun than originally thought.

Meanwhile, I have cameras all over the place in my studio. From the time you walk in the door onward, and I can pull that up on my phone, computer or iPad. One camera sees into the parking lot, too.so beware if you visit me! You are on camera!

112 The OK highway patrol used to monitor traffic from small aircraft timing cars (any car they wished) between painted marks on the road. If they detected a speeding violation, the pilot/trooper had to land the plane, get to wherever another trooper had pulled you over and write the ticket as the "observing" official. They seemed to have stopped several years ago, probably due to the costs. So if some officer looks at flock info, discovers a crime, does he/she come to visit and arrest you?

If you actually drive the highways, which I do, a lot, you will notice "help wanted" ads on the backs of many trailers. Some companies hire drivers for company-owned rigs; others hire owner-operators, and some do both. There are some good companies, and some mediocre ones, and some scummy fly-by-night ones, too.

Posted by: Semi-Literate Thug at September 15, 2026 10:29 PM (VWtfl)


Probably designed to drain well, so there's no standing water. Whatever moisture is present that might freeze and bind the gravel together doesn't form enough ice to be strong enough to resist a forty ton truck traveling 90 miles per hour.

128 Colorado has launched an automated speed camera program on a stretch of I-25, where cameras calculate average speed versus a single instant reading.
The cameras make radar detectors and alerts from apps such as Waze obsolete, but they've greatly reduced excessive speeds in high-risk areas like work zones.
Violators face a $75 fine mailed to their registered address, with no points added to their license; vehicles without license plates can evade fines.

Unfortunately, at the moment the legislature has not made any law saying this is illegal, and the courts have not decided it is against the Constitution, so we are stuck with opinions.
I don't think the Director of the FBI gets to rule based on opinions or gut feelings, not without cover from the DoJ.

Because, anyone born in New Jersey in the last 30 years is in that database. The original blood test taken on newborns at the hospital to determine any problems is held for decades (instead of being immediately discarded), shared with law enforcement, and other less savory entities.

194 Flock cameras are partially down the "slippery slope." And, their operation is in the hands of a people that I partially trust. Everyday I see examples of people using poor judgement in law enforcement. We just had four years of the entire Federal apparatus being misused and abused. And, I am suppose to trust them to act appropriately.

Flock cameras already have facial reconition software that can be added rather easily. What is on the streets today is the "skeleton" of what is available. Patel said they only ask for information when they have a lead. Now, THAT right there is bullshit. Flock cameras are likely used more often as a "fishing expedition."

They'll tell you that they don't store data. Only last week one of the ONT showed that Flock actually stores it and uses it for marketing. So that's a lie by the entity I'm supposed to trust.

Right not these flock cameras are supposedly only pointed at the roadway. Do you believe that? How long until they are on sidewalks with the facial recognition software up and running?

201 New Chinese surveillance leaves foreigners nowhere to hide
https://t.co/RpO3X0OW6h
...This system no longer relies solely on police cameras on street corners; it accurately records the specific train carriage and seat number a target occupies when arriving from Beijing or Shanghai, for example.
It even synchronizes photos taken by facial-recognition ticket gates at local ski resorts directly into its tracking mechanism. The movements of the researcher's acquaintances who recently skied in Zhangjiakou were precisely flagged and mapped out with detailed trajectories in the system.

"The idea is simply to process as much data as possible from as many sensors as possible in real time," the researcher noted.
The system logs daily behaviors like gasoline consumption, regular shopping locations and whether an individual frequently visits "petition areas."
This massive data-fusion effort attempts to stitch together a person's physical whereabouts, consumption habits and digital footprints into a flawless "holistic personnel archive..."

I have had no fewer than five Talarico ads today. They are hosing down the internet with ads and paid content. These are the people that dropped $2 Billion backing Kamala.

The weirdest thing is the first ad claimed Talarico's opponents had spent $20 million on ads and could I just spare five or ten dollars. Soon the ads said similar, but not identical pitches but it was $15 million. An hour ago it's $10 million. I have no clue why this happened, but it feels like someone is over thinking things. Or they tasked AI to target the ads. /shrug

Ring? Nope. Alexa? Nope. Apple anything? Nope. Cellphone? Yes. Garmin? Yes, when I use it, which is seldom.

Note that cellphone "tracking" is a necessary function for a cellphone to work. The system cannot direct a call to you, unless it knows which cell tower is within range of your device. If your device pings two or more cell towers, they could triangulate your location, to what? Maybe a few yards. But that would require action on the part of somebody; maybe a warrant. And all the trackers and location info built into apps? All avoidable. Shitcan the apps. Shitcan Google. Shitcan IOS.

And GPS receivers are a one-way street. They receive signals from the constellation of GPS satellites. They cannot transmit back, and the GPS satellites are deaf to them, too. If GPS had 2-way capability, we'd have had Starlink before Starlink.

238 Well, I got mostly done with the welding on the fuel tank for the dune buggy. Welded the filler neck on the front middle, then spent several hours with the acetylene torch and brazing rod chasing leaks, and sealing them up. Use the blower on the shop vac to pressurize the tank. Spray welds with soapy water. Mark locations of bubble. Apply brass. Check again. Some sites were stubborn, and required repeated visits. I think I got them all. Painted the tank with POR-15, which also is an effective sealant against gasoline.

Thanks! That tank has not had fuel in it for upwards of 40 years, I guess. Does not even smell like gasoline. Whatever dregs of fuel were in it dried up completely, and left a small amount of crystallized varnish, like flake shellac. Most of which I knocked loose by dumping a handful of bolts in the tank, and shaking it. A light coating of rust remains. Really not bad at all. And I used the shop vac to keep a current of air flowing through the tank while I welded on it. I never had so much as a tiny "poof".

We had a neighbor like that, when I was little. The guy would be on his knees, trimming the edges of his lawn with scissors. We were told to stay away from their house, and I got in BIG trouble for drawing a chalk hop-scotch on "their" sidewalk.

Mom told me (years later) that his teen daughter had been killed in a car wreck, on a date with/driven by a boy whose family used to own our house.

299 Good news for newbie guitar players: Guitar Center is revamping its in-house Mitchell line of entry-level guitars to include extensive setup of the acoustics. Even if you're almost 29, you may still be wanting to learn guitar; and while there are good arguments to start with an electric, most people start on an acoustic.

They're also ditching their Mitchell electrics entirely, but the brands they carry make plenty of good, affordable electric guitars already. Fender's Squier label, Gibson's Epiphone label, Ibanez, and others make cheap import guitars with a certain minimal level of QC to preserve brand value. But acoustics are troublesome to get set up with low action for high playability, and manufacturers have less incentive and opportunity than GC, which also hosts lessons and wants to convert newbies to lifetime customers.

Phillip McKnight - Guitar Center Is Betting Sweetwater Won't Do This

And here is a Guitar Center link, filtered and sorted to show Mitchell acoustics and acoustic-electrics, newest first (since my understanding is that those are the ones with the new in-house setup):

Really?
Here's what Wikipedia has to say:
"The initiative would amend the state constitution to require the use of a government-issued ID for in-person voting, as well as the last four digits of a unique government-issued ID number when casting a mail-in ballot.

The amendment would also require the state of California to provide free voter ID cards that can be used to cast a ballot, and would enforce the maintenance of accurate voter registration lists by the secretary of state and election officials. "

This afternoon, I stumbled across something fascinating. The "chain fountain effect" also called the Mould effect, after the (re)discoverer, Steve Mould, who stumbled onto it 10-15 years ago. Here's his first video showing this crazy looking effect:

https://t.ly/XTNN1

This is an example of some relatively simple mechanics/physics that hadn't been analyzed. Something you'd think would be "easy" but is not. Why does that chain kick itself up in that rising arc? A lot of analysis and arguments followed, and you can find a lot of it on his channel.

Apparently this effect was known at least back in the late 1800's as a crazy parlor trick, but it languished until Mould stumbled onto it again....

That chain fountain was studied in depth by a couple of Cambridge physicists and they explained the upward kick force as a reaction force. But there were other forces apparently at work as well, and Mould and someone else got into a friendly dispute over this. Lots of variations showing different crazy effects.

Steve had a theory, but to test it properly required zero-g. Observe chain behavior under certain conditions in free-fall.

Astronaut Don Pettit did it. He's a sucker for "nerd sniping" (a term I just learned today as well):

That's taking liberties with what might or might not be the truth. They might not be kind at all. Perhaps they were more interested in keeping the rotting corpse of a horse out of their swimming area. Maybe they didn't want to deal with a revenge driven mare. Horses are nasty assholes most of the time regardless of what you see on TV. They kick, bite, shit and eat. Sometimes they don't mind if you sit on them, but you have to break their spirit to do so. And, anyone telling you otherwise is full of excrement. Just like an effin horse.

This was a wild time for firearms. Muzzle-loaders were dirt cheap and still to be had, and then you had conversions, and then black powder breach-loaders competing against smokeless ones. Bannerman was dumping a ton of cheap surplus onto the market, the detritus of a half-century of military production.

That's not even dealing with the gunsmith specials. You know who is deep into this stuff? Tom Selleck. He's selling off a lot of his stuff, and the guy is a serious nerd for cowboy stuff.

I was a completely irreligious kid when I played D&D, and didn't get any of the references. I saved much of my stuff, and going through it, it's amazing to me how much of their "polytheistic multi-verse" is chained to Catholic theology/demonology.

St. Augustine's City of God is really illuminating in this respect, drawing the lines between the various Greco-Roman gods and the false gods of the Old Testament.

They've got the gravitational field of the earth mapped out to incredible precision now. Another one you might be interested in was Gravity Probe B, designed to test some General relativistic effects, geodetic precession and frame-dragging precession (gravitomagnetic or Lense-Thirring precession). Way too complex to describe with a simple post here, but look that up if interested.

As part of that, they machined some of the most precise spheres ever made.

But the original matrix was simply lawful-neutral-chaos.

The whole idea of chaotic good and lawful evil sound reasonable, but they are oxymorons, because chaos is never good and evil knows no law but its own desires.

65 🚨HUGE BREAKING UPDATE - 🚨The holdout juror broke his silence by speaking with an INDEPENDENT JOURNALIST, Fugitive TV Podcast, this evening! 👏👏👏 HERE IS A FULL DETAILED WRITE-UP.

The holdout juror is NOT an immigrant. According to marriage and divorce records, he married a Haitian immigrant. She was illegal. He did not know this when he married her.

He did not show his face. He is keeping to himself since his name was doxxed on X. His life has been threatened, and people have stalked his house. NBC Boston did not give you the full story.

Michael, the juror, is now divorced. He filed for divorce first. The marriage was fraudulent because she was not a citizen. When he did this, everything hit the fan. She didn’t want a divorce. His ex-wife filed a counterclaim a couple of months later. He was denied his divorce petition because she was not an American citizen.

The incident with the nephew — according to the juror, there is a lot of information that many do not know. For example, the nephew is 6-foot-2, and Michael is only 5-foot-7. This obviously does not give anyone the right to hit anyone. But I think it is safe to say that we do not know all of the facts of the matter.

This obviously does not give anyone the right to hit anyone. But I think it is safe to say that we do not know all of the facts of the matter. Michael stated the truth will come out.

None of this matters when it comes to what happened in the courtroom. He filled out his paperwork appropriately. He did not lie on his paperwork. He was asked if he had ever been arrested, and he checked the box “yes” and afterward had to describe what happened.

He even took the stand, and the prosecutor asked him questions. He was questioned about his past arrest. He was then selected. I would like to make it very clear that this is something that happens with all of the potential jurors present. Which means that the jurors who have already been interviewed could have said this at any point, but they chose to keep that information from the public.

Michael told Fugitive TV that from day one, eight of the jurors automatically wanted to go for not guilty.

Another cool one is LISA, schedule to launch in 2035. This a gravitational wave detector of a quite crazy idea. Three spacecraft will be launched into heliocentric orbits. They will maintain a triangle with precise station keeping. The orbits to do this are quite fascinating.

Anyway, that will detect very low frequency gravitational waves. In principle, we can "see" much further back in time with this than with light. In theory.

68 At the very end, it was him and another juror. She was also voting guilty. At the last minute, she caved. He said he knew she was guilty based on the EVIDENCE.

He was open about what he believed and what he said. He said the other jurors are telling half-truths or just outright lies.

He’s never been convicted of a crime. His past should not matter. He said that the entire time, his ex-wife was just trying to get status and citizenship to live in the U.S.

Michael said that the report on him that went viral, where they said they spoke with his family members, did not report exactly what was actually said. He said that the family members they spoke to were likely family members of his ex-wife, and he does not even speak with them. Therefore, they cannot know what actually happened in the jury room. Who DID NBC Boston speak with? According to Michael, it was not one of his own family members.

Michael stated that he believes he’s being targeted because he is a Republican - a Black Republican with conservative values. He believes that he was on a juror panel with a large number of Democratic voters. And he knows exactly what’s happening right now, and I think that you all do as well.

Philadelphia Soros DA Larry Krasner May Have Committed Perjury to the Court to Get a Convicted, Guilty Murderer Off

Larry Krasner and his "prosecutors" have been questioned and accused by judges of deliberately misstating evidence to contrive reasons to free guilty murders from jail.

Two of his "prosecutors" have been disbarred over their flagrant crimes before the court-- all to support meritless appeals so that guilty murders could go free.

Krasner is a full supporter of the left's "decarceration" agenda and believes no one should be in prison -- not rapists, not killers, not child sex abusers -- and he's not shy about saying so and he's not shy about putting his communist believes into practice.


Krasner hasn't said a word about a growing exoneration controversy -- but his own court filing does

The 47-page filing paints a picture of a district attorney unbowed by the controversy that has roiled his office.

...

Despite admitting "serious errors" in the original motion that said Dennis Johnson was entitled to a new trial, the filing contains no contrition or introspection by Philadelphia's DA.

In the world according to Krasner, he's right and everyone else is wrong.

Krasner's worldview is hardened by his decades as a public defender and criminal defense attorney before getting elected district attorney in 2017. In the second paragraph of the filing, Krasner's office blames prior district attorneys for violating "their constitutional duties" to secure convictions.

...

The reversal came after U.S. District Judge Paul S. Diamond ordered an evidentiary hearing in May. That prompted supervisors in Krasner's office to take a closer look at the case, where they discovered "material omissions" in their initial concession claim.

...

Here's the bigger problem: That appears to be the way Krasner's office has handled other post-conviction cases. Under Krasner, more than 60 people convicted -- mainly of murder -- have been set free or had their sentences reduced following concessions despite no incontrovertible proof of the person's innocence.

...

Regardless of the outcome, Krasner appears determined to keep conceding cases.

Krasner's main technique of freeing killers is lying about the DAs who secured the conviction withholding evidence from the killer. He simply makes these "Brady violations" up.

And for a long time, no one challenged him on his lies.


In recent months, supervisors in Krasner's office have been disbarred and suspended for lying in federal court while seeking to overturn the death sentence of a man convicted of killing a couple in their home in East Mount Airy.

In June, the state Supreme Court ordered judges to ask the state attorney general's office to review any cases where Krasner's office wants to alter a sentence or overturn a past conviction.

That unprecedented ruling came after the high court found prosecutors in Krasner's office misled judges in several post-conviction cases. The court said it could no longer trust the word of Krasner's prosecutors.


Now a federal judge says that Larry Krasner might face criminal perjury charges.

Apparently one of his lawyers began to get very worried about Krasner's perjuries and obstructions, and suggested it was time to turn over the case to the state attorney's general's office so that an unbiased office could handle the case.

Krasner ordered him to not talk to anyone about the corrupt workings of his communist office.

A federal judge believes DA Larry Krasner may have broken the law, and he referred the case to the U.S. Attorney's Office

U.S. District Judge Paul S. Diamond said he believed Krasner and one of his top supervisors, Matthew Stiegler, may have committed perjury, conspiracy, or obstruction of justice.

A federal judge said Tuesday that District Attorney Larry Krasner may have broken the law while overseeing a contentious post-conviction case, and he said he referred the matter to the U.S. Attorney's Office to investigate whether Krasner should be charged with crimes including conspiracy or obstruction of justice.

U.S. District Judge Paul S. Diamond made those stunning statements in a memorandum in which he also ruled that Krasner and one of his top supervisors, Matthew Stiegler, could no longer participate in the case -- a matter in which a man is seeking to have his murder conviction overturned.

Diamond wrote that over the last several months, as he conducted hearings to learn more about how attorneys in the district attorney's office handled that case, testimony from some of Krasner's staffers revealed actions by Krasner and Stiegler that Diamond called "troubling," "disturbing" -- and potentially illegal.

...

Those actions, he wrote, included pressuring other staffers to take steps to protect Stiegler and blame one of his subordinates, urging staffers to lie to Diamond in court, and threatening "consequences" for those who did not follow Krasner's orders.

"I have thus reluctantly concluded that Philadelphia's highest law enforcement official and one of his top assistants may have violated the law," Diamond wrote. "In these circumstances, with the issuance of this Memorandum, I refer the DAO, Mr. Krasner, and Stiegler to this District's United States Attorney's Office for investigation and other appropriate action."

...

[I]n recent months, the case has led to a series of unusual revelations about the inner workings of the district attorney's office as various lawyers have worked on aspects of the case. And it comes as Krasner's office has faced increasing scrutiny over the way it has acted in other murder appeals -- including a forceful opinion from the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, which said Krasner's office had misled judges so frequently and flagrantly in such matters that state prosecutors must now review instances when his office says a conviction should be overturned.

Diamond, in his filing Tuesday, said the assertions in his courtroom -- made primarily by members of Krasner's staff -- were not only proof of significant internal disagreements about Johnson's case, but also "evidence of possible criminal wrongdoing by Mr. Krasner and Stiegler."

Some of Krasner's underlings wanted to refer the contentious case to the state's attorney's office -- but Krasner didn't want them to talking about him to outsiders.

But Krasner, they testified, was vehemently opposed -- in part because of his disdain for people who worked in the attorney general's office. And during some meetings, they said, Krasner said he wanted to "protect the office"; expressed opposition to telling Diamond about the referral deliberations; and said they would face "consequences" if they did so, which they took to mean being fired.

Diamond, in his memorandum, said such a threat "could amount to obstruction of justice." And he said the efforts by Krasner and Stiegler to present a false narrative to the court "might amount to conspiracy."

In a shocking case out of Colorado, a crime lab analyst has been sentenced to 10 years behind bars for tampering with DNA evidence.

Imagine your loved one’s rapist or murderer being acquitted because the forensic analyst on the case decided to destroy the DNA proof linking them to the crime.

That’s exactly what 66-year-old Yvonne “Missy” Woods did.

Over her decades-long career at the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, this deranged woman altered DNA data in over one-thousand cases, allowing countless criminals to walk free.

For some bizarre reason, this woman threw out DNA from rape kits and even homicide investigations.

Hundreds of those cases were sexual assaults of women and children.

Personally, I used to be in Philly at least once a month. I stopped going when the Kensington neighborhood was purposefully allowed to become "Zombieland." Kensington used to be predominately Irish and Italian, and a blue collar neighborhood. Now if you don't step on a needle dropped by by a Dominican or Puerto Rican immigrant who make up over half of the neighbood today.

The only advantage to pulling Krasner into federal court is if he gets enough pressure to roll up the Soros racket. That depends on Krasner not going in front of a Soros judge. Just talking about the extent of that corruption makes me a little ill.

Catholic Parents Wouldn't Call Their Daughter a Boy, So Now Massachusetts Has Kidnapped Her for Hormone Therapy

Joseph and Arlene Kutzko would not tell their daughter she was a boy.

Massachusetts took her anyway.
The Roman Catholic couple said that staff at Algonquin Regional High School in Southborough began socially transitioning Sophie without telling them, Fox News Radio’s Lighthouse Faith reported.

In December 2024, when she was 15, the Department of Children and Families removed her from the house. The stated reason was that her parents would not recognize her as male.
Physical abuse claims against Joseph were later called unfounded. That did not return the girl.

But if you do something very dangerous, like gang murders or serial rape, or, let's say, just for the sake of argument, you strangled three children, one in front of the next, while taunting their father about it, or something really sick like that?

"Rogue" Juror's Family: We're Being Subjected to Constant Harassment and Menace by "Crazy" People

Before that: One of the Lindsay Clancy cultists killed her baby while singing a song from the Wizard of Oz.

"Follow the Yellow Brick Road," supposedly.

Is this real or just part of her cynical attempt to contrive an insanity plea before becoming a big-time influencer after her acquittal?


The Lindsay Clancy-obsessed mom who allegedly hanged her 2-year-old son chillingly crooned a tune from the "Wizard of Oz" during police questioning about the harrowing murder, investigators stunningly revealed.

Instead of answering Illinois detectives' queries about how her toddler son's lifeless body had ended up dangling from a rafter, crazed mom Corie Walsh responded by breaking out in her own rendition of "Follow the Yellow Brick Road," according to court documents reviewed by The Sun.

Walsh, 40, is facing first-degree murder charges after her two school-aged children discovered their sibling, Barrett Walsh, with a rope around his neck and his feet off the ground at the family's home in Frankfprt, a suburb about 30 miles southwest of Chicago, and ran to a neighbor's house for help, the doc states.

The frantic neighbor called 911 and tried fruitlessly to perform CPR on little Barrett, who didn't have a pulse and was cold to the touch. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

An autopsy later confirmed that the boy, who was called "Bear" by his family, died of "asphyxia due to ligature compression of the neck," according to court records.


Between haunting harmonizations, Walsh allegedly confessed to killing the boy, claiming he was the "anti-Christ" and "devil," according to prosecutors.

The mom -- whom cops had discovered fully clothed, soaking in a bathtub full of bloodied water at the house -- tried to take her own life by slashing her wrists and thighs with a knife.

By the time police showed up, Walsh was reportedly so out of it that she believed she had killed all four of her children, including an 8-month-old infant who was discovered unsupervised at the house.

The mom later confessed that she had also planned on "poisoning [her husband] with a drink" and had multiple prescriptions at the time, according to court docs and prosecutors.


The harrowing series of events unfolded just a few hours after Walsh allegedly sent friends "confusing" and "out of character" text messages about Lindsay Clancy's murder trial, saying she believed that Clancy's husband killed the children -- not their mother, the outlet reported.

Prosecutors have since claimed that Walsh was infatuated with Clancy, whose high-profile trial captivated the nation over the defense team's argument that she was legally insane due to postpartum psychosis when she fatally strangled her three children with exercise bands.

"It was manslaughter, please I'm really freaking out," Walsh reportedly wrote in a text to a friend on Sept. 1, as jury deliberations were still ongoing in Clancy's case.

I would desperately urge RFKJr. to begin a crash review of the SSRIs and hundred other psychoactive drugs that American left-wing women have faked their way into getting prescriptions for.


Now, on to the "rogue" juror, which of course means "a black man who did not submit to the bullying of old white liberal Karens."

The left realized that smearing a Proud and Strong Black Man was a political loser and gross hypocrisy aside, so now they've gone to an angle they're more comfortable with, smearing him for being a Religious Zealot Weirdo who does not believe in a Woman's Right to Slaughter Her Children.

His family says he did not allow his Catholic faith to override his judgment.


The holdout juror who sparked a mistrial in the Lindsay Clancy murder case did not allow his Catholic faith to override his judgment that the former nurse was guilty of murder, his brother revealed to The Post -- as he said the family's life has been turned upside down.

"I don't think religion had anything to do with it," the brother said, disputing claims online.

The bombshell Clancy trial turned national attention to the juror, whom The Post is choosing not to name -- with some labeling him a hero for refusing to find Clancy not guilty, and other jurors claiming he refused to follow the judge's instructions about "reasonable doubt."

"He looked at the case, and he made the call," the brother said. "For me, that's how I would do it. I would just listen to the case with all the evidence, and go from there."

He added: "His choice was good for some people, but not good for other people."

But the attention has also raised questions about the juror's troubling criminal record following a 2021 arrest for allegedly battering his then-wife over the couple's crying infant.

Those charges were dismissed, but in 2025 he was accused of beating the teenage nephew who called police on him during the alleged domestic violence attack, according to court records.

The juror had a restraining order against him from the nephew at the time he was picked for the Clancy jury -- and it expired during the trial, court documents reveal.

Well, lefties, if you didn't let this immigrant stay, he wouldn't have hung your jury.


The brother also said that the devoutly Catholic Haitian immigrant clan has been relentlessly hounded by true-crime gawkers and reporters since the juror refused to agree with the 11 others and find Clancy not guilty of murder by reason of insanity after she killed her three kids.

hatiainimmigrant.png

"My family cannot leave the house," the brother said.

"They are leaving notes at my mother's house. They won't leave us alone and we don't know anything," he added.


"People have been calling me like crazy. It's crazy."

RFKJr. please look into SSRIs and the other psycho-making drugs women are doped up to the gills on.

A supporter launched a GiveSendGo fundraiser for the juror on Monday, which brought in nearly $190,000 in a matter of hours.

Law-vlogger Nate the Lawyer called GiveSendGo about the account and GiveSendGo told him it was legit, and the money would only be released to the "rogue" juror, not to the supporter who started it.

More on the hounding of the slave escaped from the Karen Plantation, I mean, rogue juror:


From doxing to death threats to a six-figure fundraiser, jurors in high-profile cases face intense public scrutiny in a social-media-driven world.

The judge in the Lindsay Clancy triple murder case impounded the names of the jurors earlier this month, citing their safety. But that didn't stop online leaks.

"Jury service can often be traumatic. We have people that have to make very difficult decisions that impact people's lives," said Pierre Bergeron, retired judge on the Ohio First District Court of Appeals and professor at Centre College. "A lot of people already are reticent to do their civic duty because sometimes it's inconvenient, sometimes they don't get paid very much. And ultimately, the more the jurors are targeted, the less willing people are going to be to serve as jurors."

...

An online fundraiser on GiveSendGo (Stand With the Juror | GiveSendGo) called "Stand with the Juror" had raised more than $150,000 Monday night for the lone juror whose apparent identity has been leaked by bloggers, some calling the juror a hero.

...

For other intensely public cases, like that of Karen Read, who was acquitted of murdering her Boston police officer boyfriend John O'Keefe, Bergeron says jurors must avoid news updates on their phones and the influence of a sea of pink shirts outside court in support of the defendant.

The judge extended the period of secrecy of jurors' personnel information -- but only after the inconvenient black man was doxxed so he could be threatened and harassed into suicide.

🚨BREAKING: Judge extends secrecy of the Lindsay Clancy juror list.

The original impoundment order was set for two weeks. Today, September 14, Judge William Sullivan extended it until further order of the court.

The judge cited a "real and present risk" of harm to jurors, intense social-media attention, jurors being identified without permission, and the arrest of an individual accused of secretly recording jurors leaving court.

The order also reveals that at least one juror asked for the list to remain SEALED INDEFINITELY.

Some jurors have chosen to speak publicly, but the court says the majority of jurors and alternates have remained anonymous despite multiple media requests.

The order does not prevent any juror from voluntarily identifying themselves or speaking publicly.

16 Sorry, but it isn't the SSRIs. These women are batshit crazy.

I take an SSRI. Have done for decades. Without it, I am suicidal, for no good reason whatsoever. SSRIs can balance seratonin in the brain, which really does matter to some people. Talk therapy is useless if your brain chemistry is wonky and won't budge.

I have no idea what SSRIs do to people with normal levels of seratonin in their brains, but when these women show up at the psych office with batshit all over them, I guess those are the med of choice. That would be a form of malpractice, I suppose. But demonizing a medication that saved my life is not helpful.

OTOH, maybe I'm batshit crazy too and I just don't realize it. Never wanted to kill my son, though, or my husband. Just me.

48 I have a theory, and it comes from my own experience, but it might shed some light.

When I was young, back when dinosaurs roamed the earth, moms stayed home with the kids, but they had other moms to do that in company. The ladies had bridge clubs, they could send kids to another house while they ran errands or got their hair done, they shared coffee and recipes, all that jazz. There was a community beyond the household.

Now, not so much. People don't live where their families are, they don't have neighbors with a bunch of kids who swap time for sanity, there is very little support for daily life and the pressure of speaking to only children all day.

I think women are somewhat insane, because of the isolation and damned hard work with very little social support. I also think that very few of them grew up in families large enough that they learned to take care of kids, and what was important and what to let go. Some are better prepared than others. Some go nuts.

Just my two cents.

I have been on an SSRI, and after awhile got homicidal ideation that went away awhile after I stopped. I can deduce two things from that.

One, I think I'm just sad because my life is shitty, not depressed by a neurochemical imbalance. (Well, vitamin D helps with the seasonal affective disorder, so there's some chemical wonkiness, but apparently not enough for an SSRI to be appropriate.) And two, it isn't as harmless as doctors think, and they should really do studies on how to tell the specific subgroup that will be helped (like you) from those that will react badly (like me).

71 I think women are somewhat insane, because of the isolation and damned hard work with very little social support. I also think that very few of them grew up in families large enough that they learned to take care of kids, and what was important and what to let go. Some are better prepared than others. Some go nuts.

Just my two cents.
Posted by: tcn in AK at September 15, 2026 06:24 PM (Ntshk)

Seems like its the reverse - moms used to get away from the cliques and peer group pressure with the kids and husband. Now they get it 24-7 with apps. Because the ones that don't have kids seem nuttier than the moms.

I agree that the separation for moms is worse than before, as there would be other moms and aunts and grandparents to ask or vent to or get help, now its drugs from doctors. I think the very first target, even before men of Feminism was to separate young women from the family support and the older cadre of women who could offer advice.

They are serving the same demon that possessed the Agojie (aka Dahomey Amazons) the all female military regiment of the Kingdom of Dahomey in what is now Benin.

According to Wikipedia:
While they are often remembered today as elite female warriors, they were also closely associated with Dahomey's military campaigns and slave-raiding activities. The kingdom became a major participant in the West African and Atlantic slave trades, and its armies, including the Agojie, conducted raids against neighboring peoples. Captives were frequently enslaved within the kingdom or sold through coastal slave-trading networks

Children aren’t allowed to play outside. When I was growing up, it was “get your ass outside and play”

Unless you wanted “chores” to do. I never knew or learned what that would actually entail, but it could not have been anything good. Has a kid ever taken mom up on that offer?

I really doubt this. Because when I got outside, lo and behold - every other kid in the neighborhood had been evicted with that very same offer. “You too, huh? Well, let’s go exploring down by the crick! Yeah!” And that was the end of it. Everyday, from first light to when the streetlights came on - we were out of the house.

149 People are mentioning SSRIs, but drugs for other conditions that she said she had, like insomnia, can also have some weird side-effects. And in combination with others, too.

Bipolar was mentioned. That might explain the onset of many of her problems as well as post-partum depression or psychosis. And I saw someone mention possible signs of Cluster B personality disorder. Does her defense team plan to go after misdiagnosis when they sue all the doctors who treated her?

In my day it was Ritalin. The doc insisted on an SSRI instead. I tried it for awhile but it made me anxious and irritable, so I quit. Eventually someone tested me for ADD and gave me Ritalin, which was very helpful in my desk job where my task was mostly writing. Nowadays I do more physically active work where being distracted is part of the job and I get by just fine with coffee.

162 Now the media is into a "six figure fundraiser" for the most inconvenient black gentleman, peanuts compared to:

Patrick Clancy's Fundraiser, Total Raised: More than $1 million
Details: This GoFundMe campaign was established shortly after the tragic events of January 2023 to assist Patrick Clancy with medical bills, funeral services for his three children, and legal assistance. None of these funds were allocated toward Lindsay Clancy's criminal legal defense. (And his lawsuit?)
------------
Lindsay Clancy's Parents & Sister (The Musgrove Family Fund) Total Raised: Over $1.2 million (approximately $1,234,700)
Details: This campaign on GoFundMe was launched in mid-August 2026 by an unaffiliated supporter, Brandee Mulligan, to help Lindsay’s parents, Mike and Paula Musgrove. The family depleted their savings and relocated from CT to MA to support their daughter's legal proceedings. (Including her lawsuit.)

This fundraiser goal has just been raised to $3 million.

I would like to see a serious study on the social costs and benefits of making Adderall over-the-counter. It's a very smooth upper. Just half of one is a perfect hangover cure. Also helpful for night-shift workers and long-haul drivers.

Yes some may 'abuse' it (in the sense of not meeting a medical need), but will it get them off meth? Will it get them out from interacting with drug dealers? Will it prevent occupational accidents? Will it Make Drinking Great Again?

If we were a serious country that wanted to stay serious, I think we would've legalized Adderall before THC. But after works for me too.

Unfortunately, the Dutch were rather enthusiastic Joo-haters during the war. My late stepfather grew up in Amersfoort, near the ruins of the local Dutch-run concentration camp, which was particularly notorious for the terrible conditions and brutality of the Dutch Nazi guards. Despite being an immensely proud Dutchman, this was the one thing that he was ashamed of, even though he hadn't even been born yet.

177 Doctors have tried to get me on psychoactive meds multiple times, for poor sleep, for poor focus and concentration, for low-level persistent pain. So I believe there is a certain amount of drug-pushing going on.

Interestingly, a functional medicine doctor I discovered along the way only recommended drugs that actually addressed the root causes of my issues, and these were much more helpful than the psychoactive drugs.

The VA is notorious for this. Can't sleep?....take this. Can't stay awake?....take this. Back, knee, shoulder pain?....take this. Want to quit smoking?....take this.


They hooked me on that chantrix crap to quit smoking. It had black box warnings all over it but they kept handing it out saying it was safe and effective. It was just as bad as an acid trip. I quit that cold turkey and never went back to the VA.

Feminists and Media Scolds Continue Melting Down Over Sydney Sweeney

varietystopsexualizingwomen.jpg

Oh no! The Karens are angry again.

It must be a day that ends in "day."


Thousands of Instagram users have smashed the "unfollow" button on Sydney Sweeney's profile after the actress was featured in and promoted a controversial sports-betting app in which she appears nude with sports equipment obscuring parts of her anatomy.

Last Wednesday, Sweeney shared the ad promoting sports-prediction market app Novig on Instagram -- where it has racked up 1.1 million likes so far. In the 60-second ad, the "Euphoria" star appears fully or partially nude, posing with a variety of sports equipment like footballs, basketballs, a soccer ball and a hockey net.


Since hitting the internet, the ad has triggered a negative reaction among those objecting to its sexualization of women in sports. Several women Olympic athletes have weighed in on the Sweeney ad, including Ariarne Titmus, a four-time Olympic gold medal swimmer from Australia, who wrote in a post: "I can't describe how infuriated I feel when I watch this. ... How do we live in a world where monetising a woman's body and sexualising women's sport is still a thing?"


In the three days after the ad dropped, Sweeney's Instagram followers ticked up by 50,000. But on Sunday, she lost 136,848 -- and on Monday, another 68,000 have unfollowed her, according to data from social-media analytics firm Social Blade. That said, the more than 200,000 IG followers Sweeney lost in that time frame is a drop in the bucket, representing less than 1% of her more than 25 million followers.


Amid the backlash, Sweeney on Sunday posted a series of photos and videos from the Novig ad on Instagram, with the caption, "it's gamedayyy @novig 
#novigpartner." Sweeney also appeared to respond to the negative commentary by posting a series of covers from the ESPN Body Issue, which features multiple naked athletes, on Instagram Stories.

NBC News

@NBCNews


A new advertisement featuring a mostly nude Sydney Sweeney posing with various pieces of sporting equipment sparks outrage with female athletes, who say it markets sports through the sexualization of women and the "male gaze."

So yes, let's look at the covers from the Sports Illustrated "Body Issues," which have always been celebrated by left-wing feminist AWFULs as "empowering" to female athletes.

More naked female athletes -- supposedly trivialized and damaged by Sydney Sweeney appearing nude -- are here.


Chris Unleashed
@LegacyProgramVP

Sooo should everyone be supporting this instead? Smells like jealousy to me.

Here's the deal: Sweeney is a very attractive woman. She's a "sex symbol", whether she wants the title or not. She's is considered desirable by men all over this world. Women get jealous of women like her for a multitude of reasons, but mainly because they don't look like her or like her type.

She modeled for a gambling site. Men predominantly occupy gambling/sports gambling sites. If you want to attract men, it is a strategy as old as time to put an attractive face in the advertisement that is geared towards men. That's just common sense.

Female athletes shouldn't have issues because it's not like she's on the cover/have a spread in ESPN magazine , Sports Illustrated, or some other sports-related content. They generally will use female athletes. But as you can see below, it's not like most female athletes have the same appeal as a Sydney Sweeney.

This is just typical marketing strategy and yet somehow, women are far more outraged by Sweeney than Lindsay Clancy. Make that make sense.

sbotputnaked.jpg

It's almost as if -- now hear me out, this is going to sound crazy -- leftwing women love when not-very-attractive women pose naked because it makes them feel "represented" to see other not-very-attractive women LARPing as sex symbols, but then get angry, jealous, and vag-hurt when an actual sex symbol does the same thing.


Other women grossly sexualizing themselves are given a pass because they cultivate gay fans which is the ultimate Media Hall Pass.

Brittany Hugoboom
@BritHugoboom

Sabrina Carpenter was naked on the cover of Rolling Stone but because she's sexy "for the girls and the gays," no one really cares.

It's why Sydney Sweeney and Inde Navarrette get hate no matter what they do. Because they like men.

I have my own mild objections to the ad campaign. First of all, I'll admit what these nasty scolds won't and say that part of my objection is due to simple prudery and a preference for modesty. My preference is for covert sexiness rather than in-your-face over sexiness, at least in public. I like when a woman is riding that line between modest and sexy so she can claim "Ooops, it was an accident, I had no idea that when I leaned over I showed a flash of cleavage."

My other mild objection is about attention-getting. The media and media-personalities are constantly demanding the attention of each of us. I prefer these demands to be made more subtly. Yes, Sydney Sweeney has an amazing body but I would like my own Male Gaze to decide when to gaze.

But feminists have decided that attractive women are not allowed to show they are attractive in public because of Equity. Unattractive women do not draw positive attention in public, and therefore attractive women should be hated, shamed, and clucked to death by angry hens in the name of Sexual Equity. If we can't all be gorgeous Sex Symbols, than nobody can.

Note how they never admit that they're engaging in the ancient art of female sabotage/smear-campaigning against rivals they're sexually jealous of. They always have to pretend their obvious middle-school sexual jealousy is actually some high-minded campaign for Women's Empowerment.

I'm just so sick of it. I'm sick of the lying, I'm sick of the posturing, and I'm sick of hatefully bitter nasty low-IQ head-cases telling me they are paragons of virtue and are only acting repulsively for The Greater Good.

fuck it we bawl
@fuckitwebawl_

concur and concur.

Recently there is a lot of nostalgia represented in films of olden times, like the 70s or earlier (some posted by Ace.) Before the war, you notice most men wore suits and a hat. It was like a public uniform that civilized people wore whether they were working, or just strolling.

I miss that. I miss the formality of public life. I think that includes women not showing their tits everytime someone drops a few dollars at their feet. It also includes not cursing every other word, trying to spell the whole word in texts, etc.

Even the homeless bums and hobos. Really. They dressed nicer than a lot of wealthy people do today.

There is plenty of incentive for wealthy to "dress down" albeit slightly in a lot of areas. Don't want to draw attention to oneself too much. Stay kind of anonymous. Nice clothes, khakis and a polo, that sort of thing.

48 This is just typical marketing strategy and yet somehow, women are far more outraged by Sweeney than Lindsay Clancy. Make that make sense.

I can. Although it's not an original thought; I believe one of the Horde made the same point.

"Women" hate Sweeney because, as Ace points out, they're either not attractive to men, see men only as sperm-donating wallets or prefer the company of their trendy, bitchy gay bois. The appeal of a Sweeney infuriates them because they not only hate her, they also know that they, too, could look like Sweeney if they put the effort into it. But that would mean surrendering to the patriarchy.

Clancy? Her supporters either have had abortions, cheer on abortion at any time or hate that the children they've borne ruined their bodies. They also subscribe to the pernicious 'goddess' worship which elevates some mythical 'earth power' to them. A Clancy killing her children must be innocent, because then it is absolution for the children they themselves have killed or despise.

Enhanced with industrial-strength push-ups and probably taping? Yes, for sure.

But with implants? Probably not. She's in skimpy gymwear in that boxing movie and her boobs aren't nearly as big and perky as in these ads. They kinda hang flat. Implants don't do that.

Unless they deliberately taped them down to make it look like that.

But for those that opened their mouths about SS not being an athlete, OWN GOAL time again. What is it with AWFL's and emotions?

Sydney Sweeney is a trained mixed martial artist with a background in grappling, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and kickboxing. She began training at age 12, practiced rigorously for five to six years, and competed in tournaments during her teens.

Key details of her martial arts journey include:

Competition Success: At age 18, she competed in a grappling tournament against male opponents in a higher weight class and won first place.
Training Background: She trained two to three times per week, often as the only female in her dojo, and studied under trainers who also worked with former UFC champion Ronda Rousey.
Current Status: While her acting contracts often restrict her from sparring or competing due to injury risks, she continues to practice MMA and boxing in her spare time to maintain fitness and prepare for roles, such as her upcoming portrayal of boxer Christy Martin.

Like addictive drugs, it is a social ill in itself; making it legal just makes society complicit in its harms, without even removing the criminal element as promised. If anything, normalizing gambling gets even more money sloshing around for the crooks' cheating schemes to latch onto.

It isn't the worst thing out there, but we can walk and chew gum at the same time. I can condemn all the forms of degeneracy tearing at civilization's roots at once.

This is all just jealous Walmart 3's and blue-haired septum-pierced cows being back-biting bitches because Sweeney is hot.

Would I want my wife or serious girlfriend or whatever posing naked with a tennis racket covering her asscrack? No. Am I mad that Sweeney did? Also no, because I'm even more fiercely heterosexual than James Talafreako and Cory Booker.

They don't measure up visually to the women they insist on comparing themselves to, they tell themselves "well at least I'm competent unlike those bimbos", and then they're faced with competent *and* gorgeous.

---
As one of the foremost critics of pornography in the Horde, I agree with you. The question is how to get to a more modest society? I think the first step is the re-establishment of feminine beauty, at which point we can restore its mystique and traditional morality.

This is not unusual in history, where we veer from high-neck collars to bodacious cleavage. It goes back and forth. But we've never before seen such a total war on beauty and elevation of disgusting depravity, so before we can even think about the pendulum swinging freely again, we have to crush the freaks and weirdos, driving them before us and listening to the lamentations of the Karens.

Apparently is sports gambling using SS as an advertising prop, they are also saturating podcast and radio ads almost squeezing out political adverts in quantity.

Listening to Vince, when nearly all the adverts were sports betting and wagering on the outcome of elections.

None of the adverts characterized their business model as gambling but refer to it as "investments".

Like lottery tickets are "investments" and valid "retirement plans".

These Photoshop the hell out of aging leftist harridans to make them look better, then turn on the"five o'clock shadow" filter on the Sidney Sweeney screenshot.

But of course they aren't thinking this through clearly -- to make their point (that S.S. is "sexualizing the female body) they shpuld have chesne the sexiest fame in the commercial. By choosing the worst frame and then doctoring it, they're also trying to claim, "See? She ain't so hot," even though that totally contradicts their primary narrative,

No. They were never fine. Long before they started putting obese cows on billboards for Victoria's Secret advertisements, decades even, they were bitching about "conventional standards of beauty".

Their argument was (naturally) there are no objective standards of beauty. What males consider to be beautiful attributes in the female form are a social construct.

So a fat hog (to put it charitably) is just as "beautiful" as fashion model. Now I get it, physical appearance, those types of attributes are not doled out equally any more than mathematical ability or musical ability or athletic ability or....

240 Recently there is a lot of nostalgia represented in films of olden times, like the 70s or earlier (some posted by Ace.) Before the war, you notice most men wore suits and a hat. It was like a public uniform that civilized people wore whether they were working, or just strolling.

I miss that. I miss the formality of public life. I think that includes women not showing their tits everytime someone drops a few dollars at their feet. It also includes not cursing every other word, trying to spell the whole word in texts, etc.

So, rather than desperate, she seems more capitalizing, to me.

A lot of women who refused to do nude scenes suddenly decided it was okay as they approached the big 4-0. For whatever reason, American women seem terrified of moving onto more mature roles, and want to pretend to be the young female romantic interest forever. But there are lots of great roles for mothers, grandmothers, aunts, etc.

I mean Bette Davis basically got a second career going doing that sort of thing.

I remember suit-and-tie for the office, but no hats, and (like Mr. Rogers) they changed as soon as they could. I even remember the 80s, and I still have anemoia for a world of men in suits and women in dresses, both with smart hats, just to go out.

Apparently, even in the 50s, teens were already wearing jeans and t-shirts instead, and I guess it mostly held steady there for a long time. I think I may be reacting to the new low of seeing people at the store wearing pajama pants with crocs. It makes me want to dress up like I never saw people do IRL.

All of that turned to politics. Eventually, certain threads banned politics altogether, and they're usable as a result, but it's an in-group, and it just pointless for the most part... they demand you agree completely.

I never saw him not in The Suit, even when we were emptying out a trailer full of old office furniture at a reclamation center.

Competition Success: At age 18, she competed in a grappling tournament against male opponents in a higher weight class and won first place.
Training Background: She trained two to three times per week, often as the only female in her dojo, and studied under trainers who also worked with former UFC champion Ronda Rousey.
Current Status: While her acting contracts often restrict her from sparring or competing due to injury risks, she continues to practice MMA and boxing in her spare time to maintain fitness and prepare for roles, such as her upcoming portrayal of boxer Christy Martin.

Comer to DHS: Release the Evidence of Ilhan Omar's Immigration Fraud So That We Can Decide Whether to Expel Her from Congress

That could be good.

But I don't think it will happen, not yet anyway.

The chairman of the House Oversight Committee is vowing to pursue a contempt vote against financier Leon Black for refusing testimony in the Jeffrey Epstein probe and calling on the Trump administration to release any evidence showing whether Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar broke immigration laws and should be expelled from Congress.

Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., made the comments Monday night after Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin and White House border czar Tom Homan indicated such evidence involving Omar exists and is under investigation.

"I think they should make it public. Absolutely, make it public," Comer said during an interview on the Just the News, No Noise television show. "The evidence that I've seen would show that they would be privy to a lot more evidence than I would have. Most of the evidence I have is public already, anyway. So I think it should be made public, and I think the members of Congress should be the judge and the jury in this.

"Let us vote as to whether or not she needs to remain in Congress. If you violated the laws to become a citizen, should that make you ineligible to be a member of Congress? I think so. But put it up for a vote in Congress and let the American people see how their member of Congress would vote on that."

Mullin revealed Thursday there is evidence that Omar, D-Minn., "married her brother" as part of an alleged immigration scheme and there is an "ongoing" investigation.

"We know that she married her brother to try to bring him to the United States," Mullin told conservative podcaster Benny Johnson, adding that Omar's ex-husband lives in London.

Mullin explained that lying about certain things on an immigration application can result in deportation, and there's no expiration for that.

The investigation may turn up "illegal activity," which could result in Omar being deported, Mullin suggested. He cautioned that the case is still being investigated and insisted it's not politically motivated.

I don't think DHS will comply until it has made a decision itself whether to denaturalize her or not. I think that's usually their rule, that they will not release information while an investigation is active. You'd have to subpoena them and get a judge to agree that Congress's need for information outweighs the Executive's need for confidentiality during investigations.

Denaturalization has to go through the actual judiciary system, according to three SCOTUS rulings (from 1967, 1980 and 2017). It's not just immigration judges (executive employees) telling asylum seekers no, you have to go.

It's why there are so few overall.

"From 1967 to 2017, fewer than 150 people were denaturalized. From 1990 to 2017, only 305 cases were filed. Trump's DOJ filed 50 in July alone — ‘the most ever in recent memory’."

Congress used to vote on whether to admit an individual who won his election in the first place. It wouldn't be a question whether she should "remain" in office. In a sane world, she would have never been allowed there in the first place. The press would have shined a 500,000 watt spotlight on her past, and if she managed to squeek through the election, Congress would have put the kibosh on this shit.

There is currently one Democrat congresswomen and one Democrat congressional candidate under federal indictment.

48 To deport that liar, the first step would normally be to schedule a hearing of her case by an immigration judge. I think. She can appear or not. If Mullins and Trump are serious, they need DHS to send her a Notice To Appear with the location, date, and time.

She will not appear. I doubt she sends anyone, other than maybe a zillion-dollar-an-hour Democrat defense lawyer. Like Abbe Lowell. So he can make a high-falutin' speech about political persecution.

About immigration costs and purpose, about the goals of islam, about mental illness and sexuality and degeneracy, covid, vaccines, ....

The powers that be are starting to understand that unless gov. regulates A.I. heavily, it will start adding 2+2 and telling people "4", and they can't have that. It would collapse the world.

The "please regulate me" op is about preventing rogue A.I from being outside their control and telling people the truth.

BOMBSHELL: Is Illhan Omar an American Citizen? Minnesota Investigative Journalist Reveals Evidence That Ilhan Omar May Have Lied To Obtain U.S. Citizenship

This just blew my mind...Illhan Omar has always claimed she came to America as a 'child' and was naturalized as a minor at 17 -- but new documents show she may have been 18. That is really important because as an adult Illhan would have to apply for citizenship herself and not be waved in as a minor dependent of her war criminal father.

Liz Collin of Alpha News has evidence that Illhan Omar changed her birth year to not have to apply for citizenship legally. If Illhan Omar lied about her birth year she is here illegally and her citizenship is fraudulent.

"Omar has repeatedly claimed that she became a citizen at the age of 17. But based on public records, Omar was actually 18 in the year 2000, when her father became eligible to apply for citizenship."

"Just two days later, her congressional staff contacted the Minnesota Legislative Reference Library, this is back in 2019, to change the Congresswoman's date of birth from October 4th, 1981 to October 4th, 1982."

Any time I've gotten into politics with an AI it goes something like this:

First: AI repeats the leftist narrative

Then: After pushing it to consider the accuracy of its sources and other data points it acknowledges its original source was wrong/biased

Finally: It gives a more accurate answer but every other instance will still give that leftist narrative as the answer because others will not question it

One example of this: Is AFD a far right party? After a while I got it to admit that AFD is standard leftwing party outside of immigration and that their immigration stance would be considered normal for any other Euro left party 10-20 years ago. But no...that doesn't stop it from telling anyone else that asks that AFD is far right

92 One example of this: Is AFD a far right party? After a while I got it to admit that AFD is standard leftwing party outside of immigration and that their immigration stance would be considered normal for any other Euro left party 10-20 years ago. But no...that doesn't stop it from telling anyone else that asks that AFD is far right

This is my point -- they can not hold it back forever. At some point it will either seek "intelligence" or seek the narrative. Yes, the big Western companies can force them to lie, but I am talking about them competing with a rogue A.I that has no interest in lying. They can not allow that.

I think the biggest problem with Omar is that it's hard to decide what illegality to look at first. You don't just shut down a botique winery out of the blue after it goes from a value of under $50k to worth "milions" in less than a year if it is legit.

A congresswoman doesn't just pass off the accumulation of $30 Million in less than a year to accounting errors.

Sure, the immigration issue if the current focus, but there's likely wire fraud, false filings, grand larceny, federal fraud, and all kinds of other felonies hanging out there.

I wonder if there's some sort of accounting of her family's terrorist group finances. I'll just bet that there's a significant spike in "contributions" that happened right about the time she entered Congress, and a precipitous drop when USAID was shit-canned. Totes coincidental though.

Gavin Newsom Lies to Placate the Black Vote, Claiming He Won't Run if Kamala Harris Does

Well, Kamala Harris is running at the moment. I can't say she'll stay in all the way but as of now, she's running.

Gavin Newsom is also running.

So he's lying.

I see a lot of non-stunned faces in the comments.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) told CNN he will not run for president in 2028 if former Vice President Kamala Harris enters the race.

Newsom made the comment during a fly-fishing outing in Montana with CNN's Jake Tapper, as part of an ongoing series that was announced on Monday in which the anchor joins politicians in their favorite places to discuss their careers. Tapper pressed Newsom on the crowded Democrat field, noting he was not even the only potential candidate from California before naming Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Harris.

"I don't know if she runs, but we'll see," Newsom said. When Tapper noted Harris had "called around," the governor added, "But I wouldn't run if she ran."

Tapper asked him to confirm the line.

"Of course not. Why would I? I wouldn't do that to her," Newsom said. "I wouldn't waste everyone's time. Who needs that?"

Newsom argued a primary between the two Californians would only benefit the rest of the field, describing the scenario as "mutually assured destruction."

"Electorally, it's a gift from God for everybody else," he said. "It services no greater good."

Kamala Harris has the biggest share of the black vote in polls, ranging between 34% and 49%. Newsom has only 14%.

He has another problem: Black Democrats are serious about DEI, by which I mean, they demand that jobs go to them, and that includes nominee slots. James Clyburn infamously insisted that Biden choose a black female for Vice President. He did. Black Democrats insisted Biden appoint a black female non-biologist to the Supreme Court. He did.

And we're seeing black Democrats in Texas reject the gay white kid James Talarico for "stealing" the nomination that belongs (due to DEI assumptions) Jasmine Ratchet.

Gavin Newsom can't win a majority of the black vote against the DEI-privileged candidate Kamala Harris. He doesn't need to. But, if he defeats Kamala Harris, to whom the 2028 nomination "belongs" to by DEI illogic, he will have to bring bitter DEI-zealot black Democrats on board for the general.

So he's making this empty promise now that he will step aside and give Kamala Harris the nomination that "belongs" to her if she wants it.

But what will he do when she runs? That is a problem, I'm sure he's thinking, for Future Gavin Newsom, which Future Gavin Newsom will just have to deal with when it comes up.

For now, he's letting black Democrats know he will not "steal" a nomination from the Stronk Empowered Black (and Indian) Woman it "belongs" too. So if she decides not to run because she finally gets a DUI arrest, he's positioned himself right for James Clyburn.

Note that Jake Tapper is now deliberately "humanizing" inhuman Democrat politicians by interviewing them in contrived campaign-commercial scenarios. I'm including a very smart rebuttal to my point:

The Left no longer votes for a candidate. They vote against the other candidate. This, also, occurs in Democrat primaries (which I might add are concluded before the first primary vote is cast). Someone is chosen, and then the powers that be apply the choice. This includes bribing close challengers out of the race, denigrating those primary candidates that don't pull the line 100%, shutting down campaign donations and funds, circumventing PACS with actual threats, and...

...stuffing ballot boxes on a state by state basis, and rigging states that use a caucus process.

The 2028 candidate was already chosen. Newsom and Harris have nothing to do with it.

Black turnout was still down in 2020 compared to under Obama in 2008 and 2012.

If everything Democrats have done at the presidential level has been to try and replicate Obama's black turnout numbers, then a lot of their actions make easy sense.

106 But sure, those same donors will give buckets of money to another Kamala campaign.

Ex-Dem insider exposes what Harris told top donors days before Biden dropped out: ‘All charade’

A former DNC fundraiser who later left the party after likening it to a cult has claimed Harris was gearing up to poach Biden’s donors days before he abandoned his re-election bid – despite proclaiming she was supporting him and could still win.

“She would host calls with donors and pretend to support Biden ” Lindy Li, who previously branded Harris’ failed presidential bid a $1 billion disaster, told Fox News Digital.

But Harris’ charm offensive was part of a broader tactic should an opportunity arise to replace Biden in the race...

But some donors were unconvinced by the narrative Harris was trying to peddle, according to Li, who branded the veep’s approach “insulting.”

“And the immediate reaction is what an effing waste of time. What a charade, how fake. Like these are like the wealthiest people in the country saying that. They were very aware they were being lied to, that Biden was clearly not okay

117 As a guy who is suspicious of everything, and who thinks everything is an op (and who is usually right about that), I suspect there's some long game being played in private.

Tapper never would have asked the question about Newscum running against Kneepad Semen Queen unless Newscum wanted it asked.

Unless Newscum has reason to believe that Semen Queen isn't running, why would he set up a response to a question that will ultimately be a lie?

I get it that Newscum wants to try to appeal to black voters by being gracious to their favored candidate. So why say something like this that will soon be exposed as a lie?

Or unless Newscum is secretly not planning on running himself?

I think both of these are highly unlikely. I think they are both running, at least for the time being, because there's no downside and all upside.

As we've seen today, The Supremes sit ready (they don't stand, its not judicial) to allow pretty much whatever fraud happens to happen as long as they can hold onto their spots just a little while longer.

So who's going to beat her in a rigged race ? Vance ? DeSantis ? Neither has the "across the board" popularity Trump did (and he doesn't have that now either).

She'll get 90% of the black vote. 3/4 of the jewish vote. 2/3 of the asian vote. 60% of the white female vote that doesn't fit into any of the previous categories. And 110% of the previously mentioned combined vote.

She'll lose legal hispanics and white men by about 2-1. Exactly how many of them and us do you think there are here ?

157 I get it that Newscum wants to try to appeal to black voters by being gracious to their favored candidate. So why say something like this that will soon be exposed as a lie?

Or unless Newscum is secretly not planning on running himself?

I think both of these are highly unlikely. I think they are both running, at least for the time being, because there's no downside and all upside.


I think he figures if she DOES run, she'll get the nom, so he needs to maintain viability for another election cycle. I think he's wrong, I think she won't run, and this is just a cost-free concession to what he thinks will not happen. If she does run, she'll auger in almost immediately, as she's done in the past, especially when the donor class says "get bent". Then he can step in, and he isn't the presumptuous honkey that took her down.

158 In important news (baseball):

Had a fall baseball practice for catchers and pitchers. My oldest catches and after catching for some of the pitchers, they gave the catchers an opportunity to show their best pop times (time from the catcher's glove to the glove of the baseman covering second base).

MLB average pop times are 1.6-2.5 seconds.

My oldest smoked the competition with 2.15 seconds. Next closest was 2.25 seconds. The third guy got 2.35 seconds.

I might mention that the slowest was a senior, varsity catcher. My oldest is a freshman. He's worked very hard at it, and it was a nice triumph for him and opportunity to show the coach and players there what kind of stuff he had.

That she's a known idiot and drunk is in there too. I guess unseen decision-makers will be the real leadership, like with Biden. I figure at some point she'll have a public tantrum insisting that she's the one in charge.

171 It's pretty easy to discern what the Democrats have to do, considering what they have done.

Nobody wants to vote for a hectoring whack job cat lady. "Why aren't I 50 points ahead, you might ask?". So they have to manufacture the support. That's where the media comes in.

Same with homosexuals, like Buttgige. Electoral poison, they have to try and manufacture electoral support that isn't there. Even AlGore had to get a little media massage with the help of Rolling Stone.

They chased off a significant chunk of the male vote regardless of ethnicity, the genuine rank and file working class, business owners, etc., and are frightening wide swathes of the country, jews, women and horses.

The remainder seems to be a shrinking pool of ... whatever ... and are fucking nuts, and it's increasingly evident that electoral fraud constitutes much, if not most of their popularity. Just as I have suspected for decades now.

180 I'm still convinced the candidate won't be a radical (or retard such as Harris or Newsom). The ability to cheat (even with the most recent SCOTUS decision) has be tempered somewhat. As a result the Democrats require someone who is comparable to the likely Republican candidates. They, desparately, need someone who gives the perception of moderation, but is controlable and, more importantly, only gives the perception...not the goods.

They could care less about the black vote. They can make that up in the ballot stuffing. What they need is the INDEPENDENT vote. And, they don't get that with Harris or Newsom. They are both damaged goods.

Look for Andy Beshear to start emerging. He's already established his own PAC. He just wrote off over $250 Million in medical costs to 130,000 Kentucky residents. He's lining himself up. He chairs the Dem Governor's Association (which means he controls some of the purse strings). The NYT"s even did an article asking if he was the next Bill Clinton (in a good way).

About 25% of SC is Black. They vote like Blacks nationwide - about 97% Democrat. Democrats are about 40% of the SC voting population.

Primary voters are the most politically dedicated in the aggregate, and black women are the most politically dedicated of almost any demo in America.

So, yes, black women will probably end up close to, maybe even over, the line of majority in the primary for president in the state of SC, the first state in the nation in the primary calendar which will instantly weed out a whole bunch of also rans who get below 3% support.

This is what has surprised me. We've seen what happens when George Clooney discovers that the Dem candidate is a stumbling, stuttering confuzoid -- and the thought of her talking about the passage of time in a debate with Rubio or Vance... yeesh.

She also knows she failed to win a single primary in 2020.

And yet, she hasn't gotten off the booze or cracked a briefing book since she went down in ignominy to the shit-talkingest, most Democrat-hated candidate in modern history.

I never realized how big of a problem she has -- I mean like, something she has no control over. Dems have a problem, but I think we all have a problem with someone like her being so close to the levers of power.

210 At this point I suspect that the super delegates have been pulling harris and her people off to the side and telling them in no uncertain terms that they and their donors will not support her for a second bite at the apple.

I am absolutely sure you are correct, but as I said, politicians are kind of dense, and simply can't imagine a world which views them as the biggest clown in the clown car. It's like the old meme:

1) Donors and most of the party hate you.
2) ?

Harris and Buttigieg are both eminently qualified and I would trust either to do an amazing job, but I don't think I'm the median voter.

It has nothing to do with the median voter and everything to do with the median electoral vote. Because of the EC there is no use for candidates and parties to focus on the median American or most of America. The median voter lives in NH or MN. The median electoral vote is in PA or WI. In America people don't matter but empty land does.

I think someone like Michelle Obama or Oprah could easily win the presidency if they wanted to. I don’t think Kamala Harris can. That has nothing to do with her being a woman of color and everything to do with being a mediocre candidate with fatal flaws.

I’m hoping the nominee is someone out of left field we don’t even know the name of yet, like Obama. Newsom probably also shouldn’t run. Too many people think California is some sort of socialist hellscape and he’d run the country into the ground because they’re idiots.

Democrats have lost so many white working class voters that it's left the black electorate with increasing power in intraparty politics.

348 Newsom made the comment during a fly-fishing outing in Montana with CNN's Jake Tapper, as part of an ongoing series that was announced on Monday in which the anchor joins politicians in their favorite places

Did he tie his own flies, just like Walz loves dove hunting with his favorite shotgun (that he can't operate)?

The flip of this is the reason why they can't go the route of nominating two black women. They'd lock in the female black and AWFUL vote...and lose absolutely everyone else. They might as well snort plutonium dust soaked in ricin. There's a certain understood dynamic in play there that nobody will want.

I just think Kamala will be on her revenge tour and announce that she don't need no man, definitely no white man, and black girl magic, so it's gotta be Crockett who lost to Talarico who then lost to Paxton in a race that Crockett definitely would have won.

Black girl magic.

Also, I assume Kamala is kind of stupid.

350 Hear me out. Gav and Tim Walz go deep into the Minnesota woods on a hunting expedition. Manly men sharing manly activities, hunting, gun stuff, laughter at manly joks, campfires, more gun stuff. It might be a problem getting the makeup and catering vehicles into the deep woods, but we'll figure something out and fix it it post.

357 Apart from the Clancy horror show, women leaders in Europe have done a lot to demonstrate they are not up to the task. I recall a picture of a group of Scandi leaders all covered up in hijabs to meet some ME leaders, and it was such a frightening show of weakness. They were smiling and clue, like it was a fun DEI dress-up day (like Hochul).

lol, all fun when you believe it’s your choice to show respect. When they conquer you and force it on you 24x7 you may start wondering how it happened.

358 >>>I can't get past fly fishing in Montana being Newsom's supposed favorite place. Dems lie like normal breath and the MSM backs them up.


His favorite place is NOT in the Great State of California? Yeah, he's not a serious politician. The only thing that would have been worse for a politician, back in the non-insane times, would be saying his favorite place is in a foreign country.

359 I took Newsom's statement as a way to beg off a campaign while looking magnanimous. He probably thinks if he looks like he isn't running that USDOJ will back off looking into him and his wife.

Fly fishing is about matching the hatch when trout won't hit spinners or live bait. The hex hatch in Michigan can be productive even for Walleye in places like the Manistee River.

But yes, you're there to catch them in order to eat them.

Honestly, it makes it more likely DOJ will go after him.

390 In defense of Jasmine Crockett: her argument that the Senate nomination was stolen from her by the Gay Vegan(TM) has some validity, as Talafreako's last minute appearance on Colbert, right before voting started for the Texas Democrat primary for U.S. Senate, was a bat signal sent out to white liberal AWFL's and soyboys that they had to vote white this one time. Colbert could have had both on. He chose to feature only the whitest white boy in the Austin gay bar where real white men go to find their girlfriends.
