Making you wonder if the ride is worth the pain
He's just a waiting on your heart to say

Victory in the Lord
Cling to the Father and his holy name
And don't go riding on that long black train. . .

To the midnight train to Memphis. . .

Pop Confusion - a limerick

And the locomotive didn't even slow down
But it was Gladys and the Pips

The source of country music? Heck, it's Motown!

104 I wouldn't hang a Benton painting but I enjoy looking at them. It's fun to see what is included and how the people are posed. This one was requested by Tex Ritter to show te many influences of country music from church/gospel, to cowboys to square dancing and more. The people are dressed for each type with the bare dulcimer player for at home music, the women in bonnets for the church choir, the cowboy with his single guitar, the banjo player might be a (former?) slave, the fiddlers in overalls and the dancers in 'country best', etc. The steam boat, telegraph poles and steam locomotive help set the sense of time. And it is all bright but not garish, light with a sense of enjoyment and life and movement.

It's a wonderfully effective painting.

135 In Kansas City you can visit Benton's house and studio. He had a unique way of working on his Cinerama-style murals: he'd make a shadow box, using chicken wire and papier-mache to mock up all the figures, so that he could watch how their perspective size and angles changed as the viewpoint moved. Lot of work. He didn't usually save them after the painting, but there are a few. He was a folk musician, as well. Made albums.

Both he and Grant Wood worked on Navy dazzle paint schemes in WWI. I tried to make a little something of that, but the pretty-well-grounded art major docent was sure they'd both completed a lot of old school classical training before the drafting experience with Large Ships.

The Morning Report — 5/ 8/26

Good morning kids. Lots of things happening as you can see by the links, but two in particular are jumping out at me and getting me rather ticked.

First, the fact that this frog-mouthed silt-eating slug is even in this country in the first place let alone holds public office is offensive in the extreme. Given every advantage that only America would and could, as opposed to the repressive third world shithole of Indonesia that she was spawned in, she has blood-libeled and done all she could to stab us in the back and drag us down to the savage Dark Age level of her forbears.

First of all, this congresswoman claims she's concerned about the humanitarian crisis in Cuba. That's admirable. I am too and have been for a long time. But it's funny, this humanitarian crisis has been going on for years, and yet, unless I'm missing something, she's only found it in her heart to be concerned about it since Trump and Rubio began taking legitimate steps to put an end to it once and for all.
If you'll recall, Jayapal and Rep. Jonathan Jackson (D-Ill.) traveled to Cuba last month on the taxpayers' dime to "assess the humanitarian situation." The reality is that they took a five-day vacation (or what they called a "congressional delegation") to Cuba to meet with the regime and find new ways to bash Donald Trump. They went in with an agenda and opinions already formed and walked away with those opinions intact and using the same language the regime does about how Trump is hurting them with his sanctions and blockades...
...why in the heck is a sitting member of the U.S. Congress going behind the president's back and colluding with foreign countries in a way that directly goes against the president's current actions and foreign policy? Trump and Rubio are working to pressure the regime so that the Cuban people are finally free. They've also made it incredibly clear that the island nation as it stands with the regime in charge is a threat to the national security of the United States.

But wait, there's more from another anti-American traitor . . and she's not even American literally!, and yet she holds public office?!

“I am illegal in this country. My parents are illegal here in this country,” Former Minnesota State Rep. Kaohly Her declared.
Her ran in the 2025 St. Paul mayoral election on a promise to fight ICE and protect illegal aliens. While she lost the election, the usual ‘ranked choice’ shenanigans that elevated Mamdani in New York City, and other urban leftists, put her ahead of Melvin Carter III who was not an illegal.
In her inaugural address, Mayor Kaohly Her described federal immigration enforcement as an “unprecedented incursion that we must meet head on.” She spoke while surrounded by minority female politicians as well as Robert ‘Susan Kimblery’ Sylvester: a former deputy mayor who now claims to be a transgender woman.
This secessionist rhetoric was soon paired with a secessionist ordinance commanding federal law enforcement not to operate on ‘city-owned property’ as if St. Paul had somehow seceded from the United States.

Why are either of these evil filthy skanks not awaiting removal from our nation?! Jayapal deserves to at a minimum be removed from office and prosecuted for her actions along with anyone who aided and abetted her. But grabbing this admitted criminal illegal alien Kaohly and shipping her the hell out of the country is, or should be a snap, for ICE and/or the DOJ?!

And let the rent-a-goon thugs try and stop it.

Yeah, my blood is now at a slow simmer.

Have a great weekend!

Canada has seen a surge in promoting diversity and LGBT issues in its military in recent years, while the actual readiness of Canada’s armed forces appears abysmal. A report from March suggested that half of the equipment owned by the Canadian armed forces is unserviceable. Notably, efforts to recruit large numbers of recent immigrants into the military have ended in disaster, with many recruits failing to graduate and displaying negative attitudes towards women.

25 The first Britain-wide local election results trickled in overnight — and will continue to do so through the day and into the weekend as over 5,000 local races have their votes counted — revealing in its early stages a massive swing to Reform UK. Party leader Nigel Farage hailed the party’s gains so far, and vowed “the best is yet to come” as the vast majority of elections have yet to be counted, and with those on their way being some of the most promising for his party, he said
======================
The UK is doing its usual thrashing about, that's all. Is Reform actually going to do very much? Does not appear so, even though voter anger is riding high, and now many expect Two Tier Queer to lose his job over the weekend.

27 The Fred Fleitz article is not “wrong” per se, but it is very naive. He recommends that the US simply give Iran an ultimatum. Ok so far so good - but the Iranian leadership is going to laugh and tell you to GFY - so what do you do then? You either go back to war or surrender, those are your only real choices.

Because Iran is incapable of responding any other way.

I do not care for the Sunni, or for any brand of Muslim - but I think they are, in fact, far “better” for us than the Shiite faction, who dream of the destruction of the world as part of their faith. Demonstrably so - Pakistan has had nukes for a couple of decades now, and since it’s widely known that the Saudis financed their development and construction, they could have had one or two anytime for the asking. They don’t want them, they understand it would just make them an even bigger target.

The instant the Shiites get their hands on a working nuke, we will know. Because they will use it.

68 The National Education Association (NEA) was hit with a federal complaint Monday alleging that it subjected Jewish members to an antisemitic environment, according to a copy of the complaint shared with the Washington Free Beacon.
The complaint, filed by the Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) , alleges that the nation’s largest teachers’ union allowed activists within the organization to harass Jewish members. At the NEA’s 2025 Representative Assembly—the group’s annual gathering—for instance, the union debated a resolution banning materials from the Anti-Defamation League from appearing in classrooms. During that debate, "delegates aligned with anti-Israel advocacy physically positioned themselves near Jewish Affairs Caucus members, shouted down Jewish participants, and created an atmosphere in which Jewish delegates reasonably feared retaliation and physical harm," the complaint details.

Of course, Bass makes for a practically supine target, but she is really similar in this to Kathy Hochul, but just look at what a great campaign can do, as Pratt is doing, versus what is happening in New York, which is nada.

How Nazi of them. Broadening their ability to arrest peaceful protestors.

They're already doing their violence. This is just targeting potential resistance. Killed unions, led a multi-decade culture war against socialism, fought wars and assassinated communists, brutalized BLM, now it's just trying to smother any other movements in the crib.

The largest and most violent domestic terror group in the US is MAGA. Only one group of domestic terrorists planned a seditious conspiracy and attempted to overthrow the government.

If you're not anti-fascist, doesn't that make you pro-fascist? They’re speedrunning their whole project 2025 playbook.

They know Antifa isn’t an organization. Its an ideology. Now they can label anyone they don't like as a terrorist and throw them in jail/torture them.

Xavier Becerra went to the television claiming that the Biden administration having lost track of children is mere “MAGA talking points.”

On air, he flippantly air quoted “lost kids,” as if it didn’t even happen. But the reality is, his agency was found to be looking the other way while kids were placed in unsafe conditions — likely with criminals — just to win political points.

Minimizing “lost children” to air quotes is awful. Especially considering that these were real kids. And there were a lot of them.

205 Revealingly, when prominent Democrats are reminded that their repeated comparisons of Trump to Hitler and the violence-tinged words they use in their campaigns against him have had the net effect of inspiring attempts to kill him, they don’t back off. They simply double down.

Case in point, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY):

Moments Ago: A visibly agitated Hakeem Jeffries says “I stand by” calling for “maximum warfare” against Republicans.

“You can continue to criticize me for it, I don’t give a damn about your criticism!”

----------
FOX Newz had a segment showing 3 videos. In 2 of them, I'd say a small drone was captured flying to or from someplace. IIRC, drones were marginally important back about 5 years ago... hardly any videos of them flying about, but lots of videos taken "by them."

A lot of what we'll likely see are probably new drone designs being tested. They don't have to adapt to a human pilot, so the ability to change directions in unconventional ways might account for their movements.

So.... no, they're not "real" UFO's. YMMV

239 From Farage's experience on the trail : "…one thing that I consistently hear from people, especially from women actually, is ‘please save us’, a sense that society is in rapid decline, law and order, anti-social behaviour, shoplifting, whatever it is, ‘please save us’.

There is a feeling out there that all the values that have mattered to people their whole lives, the kind of country they want their kids and grandkids to live in is very, very severely under threat… we want to turn the country around. We all feel it is heading in the wrong direction on a number of major issues.

Frankly, many people find the society they’re living in unreconsigisable from just a few short years ago. This is stuff of the heart, this is emotive stuff that matters to people."

Sounds familiar.

Outside of the bluest of blue enclaves like NYC and DC, jury trials tend to go our way. Think of Rittenhouse at the height of BLM.

The bigger problem is grand juries, but this is empaneled in North Florida, not DC. If this grand jury looks at the evidence being gathered and says, "Nah," then the pessimism about the entire American justice system is valid.

However, the pattern has rather regularly been the majority of cases brought outside of the deepest of blue enclaves (and even in the blue enclaves, there was something in NYC that went our way last year though I can't think of it off the top of my head) to jury trials tend to go based more on the evidence than adhering to Current Day Democrat Party needs.

297 The mayor of a small Georgia town has axed its entire police force for upsetting his wife, who’d previously been accused of creating a “hostile work environment.” Cohutta Mayor Ron Shinnick shut down the Cohutta Police Department and fired all 10 of its employees earlier this week after officers allegedly made “inappropriate comments” about his spouse on Facebook.

The petty saga erupted late last month when several officers lodged formal complaints about the town’s former clerk, Pam Shinnick — who is also the mayor’s wife — continuing to work for the town despite having been fired.

She was terminated last year for apparently creating a “hostile work environment” in the town of less than 1,000 people — but allegedly still had access to personal and classified information.

Labour will never do a snap election because they know they’re all out of a job the instant they do. This is getting to be like the Long Parliament that Cromwell had to toss out of office with his army.

Posted by: Tom Servo at May 08, 2026 09:17 AM (b/YqA)

Oh, I know.

But if they really think their problem is Starmer and not the party as a whole...or there are enough Labour who think it's just the process to follow after such a level of council loses...

Still, I adhere to the idea that Starmer has zero shame or self-awareness while also understanding that his own party can't actually force him out without nuking the party as a whole. So, no snap elections.

I just want it. Because it would entertain me, and politics, especially other countries' politics, exists solely to entertain me.

This is obviously Starmer's bet: that Labour would get curb-stomped in a snap national election, and therefore there is zero chance of a "no confidence" vote in Parliament.

On the other side of the equation are Labour ministers who are pretty sure that sticking with Starmer makes the eventual punishment from the voters to the party much worse every single day he stays in office.

This is interesting to watch, but sadly, no party exists worth cheering for over there. The UK looks like a ship headed for the rocks.

[Per Brave "AI":]

Project 2026 refers to multiple distinct initiatives, most commonly used as a label for the Heritage Foundation’s 2026 policy agenda, an extension of Project 2025, despite the think tank stating there is no formal "Project 2026." The policy priorities, released in late 2025, outline a conservative vision focusing on dismantling federal agencies, restricting abortion, eliminating the Department of Education, curbing immigration, and advancing "nuclear family" policies rooted in Christian nationalist ideology.

Oh noes -- the evil (and implied "White") "Christian Nationalists."

Restore is probably their best bet, and I think they got no seats at all in the council elections, though I'm not sure if they even put anyone up. I know they have a slate of candidates for a general election, but council is different.

Restore primarily exists at this point to pull Reform rightward on immigration, though. And it seems like it's working.

Daily Tech News 8 May 2026

Top Story

There's a local privilege escalation bug that affects all recent versions of Linux. (Tom's Hardware)

No, not that one, another one. It abuses bugs in three optional kernel modules to give any local user root access.

Good news: It's relatively easy to prevent.

Bad news: It's already out in the wild even though none of the Linux distributions has had a chance to patch it yet. There's a script available that prevents the affected kernel modules from loading that blocks the exploit. Run it once and you're good - unless you depend on one of those modules and you have untrusted local users, in which case you're... Not good.
Also, there's a CPanel exploit making lives miserable, with a patch planned for 12pm EST.

Again, not that one, another one.

At least this one hasn't leaked yet.

Tech News

Motherboard sales are down by 28% because nobody an afford the memory to build a new PC. (Tom's Hardware)

Because they listened to people telling everyone not to panic-buy memory.

I didn't listen.

Now I need to buy a couple or three motherboards for the RAM I already have, and they're cheap and readily available.
A judge has rule that Nvidia's book piracy software was designed to pirate books. (Tom's Hardware)

Like other AI companies, Nvidia downloaded huge numbers of books to feed its ever-hungry models, and now is on the hook for industrial-scale copyright infringement.
Never click on anything. (The Register)

Is the response from Anthropic to the discovery of a one-click exploit if you download untrusted software into Claude Code.

The same bug affects programming tools from Google, Microsoft, and Cursor, so they're not the only idiots in the room.
You stack DRAM when it's DRAM stacking time. (WCCFTech)

Today's contestants are Samsung and SK Hynix, two of the Big Three.
The StarFighter Linux laptop has finally launched. (Liliputing)

I think I reported on this previously. It has a choice of 2560x1600 165Hz or 3840x2400 240Hz 16" displays, Intel or AMD CPUs, up to 64GB of (apparently soldered) RAM, two M.2 slots, two Thunderbolt ports, three regular USB ports, HDMI, microSD, and an audio jack.

Plus a removable webcam module - if you're concerned about privacy, you can unplug it and stick in a drawer, or in a little slot within the laptop where it can't do anything.

And the Four Essential Keys.

Price has unfortunately been hit hard by the memory shortage and ranges from $1900 to $3600 depending on configuration.
In maybe good news, Anthropic has signed a deal with SpaceX (which owns xAI, which owns X) to use the spare capacity in the latter company's datacenter in Memphis, which is, apparently, somehow, all of it. (Ars Technica)

Why good news?

Usage limits on Claude Code (which I use daily for code reviews) have been doubled at no extra cost.

The planned musical interlude appears to be holidaying in Somaliland.

Years back I was arguing with someone about how good Warren Zevon was. Right I the middle of the argument Linda Ronstadt came on the radio singing "Poor , Poor , Pitiful Me". He said this is a great song. I looked at him and said "I agree, it was written by Warren Zevon". Shut him up

If I understand the UK political system, and that's only about 50-50, they can call a confidence vote but, if they do and he loses, the opposition can call a general election for Parliament, which Labour would lose, but which otherwise won't occur for a few more years.

51 Even if a vote of no confidence was called in Westminster, Labour has such a large majority that vote would fail.

Starmer has obviously taken the pulse of his party, and other than some Jeremy Corbyn loyalists who despise him, he believes he still has enough support, for now, to remain Prime Minister.

However, Starmer's position is becoming untenable.
If the economy suffers more over the price of oil & national gas which may send inflation higher, he may have no choice but to resign in the near future.

I brought the feline Li'l Bit home from the steps of my college library, where someone had left her with a bowl of milk. Our incumbent cat, Rusty, was miffed at first, but within a couple of days they were solid friends. When he passed some years later, Mom said LB went all around the apartment and patio, calling for him.

After my mother's death, I rescued the little cat (then eleven or more) from the apartment. It took her a couple of weeks to adjust to me -- and to my incumbent, Arizona, who disliked all other cats -- but she did, and became my buddy for her last couple of years.

Florida Man takes "my pleasure" too far

Central Florida man ‘exposed his genitals’ at Chick-fil-A drive thru, deputies say

A Palm Coast man was arrested after being accused of exposing himself to a minor at a fast-food drive thru last week, according to the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office.
In a release, deputies said they responded to the incident on April 24 at a Chick-fil-A along State Road 100.
Upon arrival, deputies spoke with the victim — a minor — who claimed that a customer had “exposed his genitals” to her while she was working at the drive-thru window, the release states.
“The victim told deputies that she was handing the customer his food and saw his exposed genitals with a blueish-green circular object, which she believed to be a sex toy, around his penis,” the release reads.

AI is asshoe - but this is funny

South Africa Cancels AI Policy After Evidence That It was Partially Written by AI

Last month, South Africa’s Communications minister announced that he had decided to withdraw the country’s national AI policy after discovering that at least 6 of its 67 academic citations turned out to be AI hallucinations, mentioning journal articles that didn’t exist.
“The most plausible explanation is that AI-generated citations were included without proper verification. This should not have happened,” Solly Malatsi said. “This ⁠failure is not a mere technical issue but has compromised the integrity and credibility of the draft policy.”
The National Artificial Intelligence Policy sought to position South Africa as a leader in AI innovation, while attempting to address ethical, social, and ‌economic ⁠challenges, but only managed to embarrass the South African government after media outlets discovered that a significant part of the document had been created by AI.

This is actually not surprising to me. How about you?

DJ Doof - This Date in Music History Edition
from thisdayinmusic.com

On this date 1968: while flying back to the UK after his final show with Bluesology, Elton John (born Reginald Kenneth Dwight) devised his stage name. In the cabin, the singer-songwriter asked Bluesology’s horn player, Elton Dean, and lead singer Long John Baldry if he could combine their names for his solo act.

On this date in 1983: Stevie Wonder made his only appearance on the US show Saturday Night Live, where he was the host and musical guest. He played a Stevie Wonder impersonator in a skit with Eddie Murphy and stars in a camera commercial spoof with the tagline, "so simple, even Stevie Wonder can use it."

On this date in 1992: Nigel Preston drummer with The Cult died in London, England aged 32

I’m reading a great book about Air Force Skyraider pilots operating in Laos in that time period. While a piston prop plane, they were excellent for SAR for downed jet drivers and staying in the air a long time, loitering over an area and dropping nape and CBUs on the bad guys communicating with facc and such. Since the USA wasn’t officially in Laos the pilots didn’t get much credit for the incredible things they did.

155 How my week has gone (so far).

On Tuesday, an hour before taking our 8mo old home, she harfed on me while we watched my dude make dinner. Then proceeded to dry heave as pitiful as anyone can imagine for a sweet baby girl. Both of us changed and then we got her home where she rested on my towel covered shoulder. Her mother arrived with the other two (son out of town, of course), and we got the dose for Zofran and 1.5ml pedialyte and she seemed to recover in minutes from how she was. Then ok on pedialyte, as she was very close to an ED visit and I don't get alarmed about a lot.I don't mess around with babies.

Her grandfather and I felt off last night and achy and yuck. It returned for me this pm. DIL called tonight and was getting sick and told our son to fly home earlier than planned tomorrow. I used to coach her via phone for other viruses so this is not new.I am hoping she takes a Zofran with sips of ginger ale as I directed (DO NOT TAKE WATER IF HARFING).

Other son texted that there was a death in his new wife's family and I provided help for that.

I planted 3 plants in gardens.

This is the sum total of my productivity this week other than making a menu but not cooking.

If anyone quibbles with me tonight I will simply tell them to take a Zofran with ginger ale like a robot from this week. I have never taken Zofran (yet) as I rarely get to the harfing stage of any stinkin' virus.

When boys were small I had 3 patients as my husband fell fast. We traded as I get every cold.

I had the worst stomach virus in history in 1976 before the bicentenniel vacation in Panama City Beach which made me immune (so far). Gave it to brothers.

My one bro I could hear snickering at the noises I was making in our bathroom. The next day it felled him like a tree and he apologized (rare). It was one of those where you don't know if you should sit or stand at the commode.

My dear Dad was worried about me as I was never sick.Asked what was wrong and I told him (I was hallucinating) "diverticulosis" for no reason. He asked if I wanted to go to the ED and I said yais. Then I woke up better as I guess I passed out. At least he cared about me as my mother went to bed and my brother was snickering in his bedroom.

As a pre-teen youth in the 70s, I'd turn on the radio and hear singles off albums from Stevie Wonder, Elton John and Billy Joel. It was hard to tell who was making better albums, it was that great a period.

193 I have to defend happily married couples in that my wedding ring did not change anything in our lives. I still think he's handsome and mine. All mine. If I croak first the wimmens will be after him, but he claims there will be no one else as I have exhausted him for over 4 decades.

I think my DIL will live (she has 2 kids plus baby germ maker upstairs asleep at her house) as she took a Zofran and is going to bed she texted. I am always who they call, so it's good to feel needed. We've known her since she was 17yrs old.

When boys were small we gave Phenergan suppositories and they were happy to have them. I was happy to know pediatricians who would call in a Rx over the phone for me vs seeing them.

Good night and keep your Zofran close if you have it. Avoid the virus. Cheers!

206 Paul Leary, lead guitarist and occasional vocalist with Butthole Surfers, was born today in 1957. They (and he) are best known for the breakout hit "Pepper" off their seventh (!!) studio album Electriclarryland (1997), a testament to persistence. Even if you don't recognize the band or the song title, you would probably recognize its hypnotic mix of spoken-word verses, trip-hoppy chorus, and reverse-playback bridge:

Butthole Surfers - Pepper
https://youtu.be/KRXty8lDUW0

Our image of a band with a hit is frozen in time, while the man goes on. In 2021, Leary released his second solo album in 30 years, and it is.. nothing like "Pepper". As you would expect, but the comparison is unavoidable. His voice is I think a baritone, for one thing, and the title track is wry folk-rock:

210 In Britain's partial local elections, only 324 of 5,066 councillors have been declared thus far, but these results are:

Reform UK: +163 (174)
Labour: -125 (32)
Conservatives: -26 (37)
Liberal Democrats: +3 (49)
Green: +14 (20)
Other: -29 (12)

218 What we are seeing in the UK could happen here. Conservatives were more or less Pence and McConnell types over there--big corporate statists that dragged their feet over Brexit and refused to send the illegals home. Labour got elected because Conservatives squandered any good will running the UK for 14 years and many Tory votes went to the new Reform Party in 2024 elections. Now, you have the same thing happening on the left, the old working class Labourites are moving to Reform while the more radical and Muslims are voting Green Party or Independent Muslim. The old Lib-Dem party is treading water it appears so far.

Welsh Parliament, Labor is losing most to Reform and Cymru (native Welsh party), Scottish National Party in Scotland is benefitting from Labor's collapse and Reform is getting some love up there as well.

This is what happens when a major two party system collapses--either one becomes dominant or the other new parties supplant the old ones.

258 Mine put me back on Atorvastatin because my lipids were too high, but it made my blood sugar go back up again. He wound up halving the statin and adding another, and that seemed to resolve things.
Atorvastatin seems to mess with gut microbiota and affect bile acid metabolism and blood glucose, and this seems to be a pretty common issue.

Posted by: Kindltot at May 07, 2026 11:59 PM (rbvCR)

How high did it drive up your blood sugar? They put me on atorvastatin. My A1C while using sugar as a food group was in the lower 6 range. It shot up to 6.9, and the cardiologist says hey now, you're type II, you need metformin. I said press it in your ass, I wasn't type II until you gave me this crap. Not taking that shit. Its the roller coaster these fucking doctors do. Take this..WOAH this is happening, so now you need to take this woah, now you need this... yeah not happening.

This is a massive anti establishment vote in the UK and conditions are ripe for something similar to this in the US if the fossilized GOPe and Dems don't drop the uniparty ideals. Just like Dems flipping out that a white guy representing Memphis just lost his district for 2026 but the likely winner is a black Republican.

My total cholesterol was 180 with no meds, they gave me 80mg. First thing i did was read up. They said from 40 to 80 mg there was only a 2% efficiency difference. I started cutting them in 4 pieces, so I took about 20mg. Next blood work the numbers were way down. LDL was in the 60's. He says good, statins are working. I said uh, 1/4 of the fucking statins are working. Give me a 20 mg prescription, so he did.

I use a One Touch meter. Off statin I got a blood glucose between 95 and 110 at 10 hours fasting over night.
With Atorvastatin I got 130+ fasting, though it would go down after about 12 - 16 hours fasting. Previously metformin did not help with the blood glucose levels.
Cardiologist put me on reduced Atorvastatin and Ezetimibe which is better.

Here is a paper that discusses it, it uses a different addition, ursodeoxycholic acid or Ursudiol, to moderate the effects

I think what happened in Indiana this week scared the crap out of the normal GOPe types in the legislature and states. They want to keep their seats. And with each state that does it, it creates pressure on leaders of the other states to do the same.

I think one thing that we sometimes forget amidst all the chaos that Trump brings by new thinking on matters is he thrives on chaos like his team: the Democrats really don't as all of their politics are actually wargamed ops covered by friendly media. Their chaos is manufactured by their ngo street partners in crime.

Trump's version of chaos upsets the Dem calculations on ops because he is not behaving like a 'good' Republican should to their thinking.

There is not a patch yet but turning off two of the modules (they are not in the kernel) is okay to mitigate it by a command in terminal unloading those modules if you don't need IPSEC or AFS file system.

People running servers or corporate systems need to be on their toes as it could break some of their systems. But it requires local access apparently for the people that use Linux for a home desktop or laptop computer.

AI security holes and mitigation are going to be a growth industry in computer software for some time. AI is poking holes faster than mitigation patches under the older slow system can function.

Probably even worse in Windows and perhaps Macs as neither Microsoft or Apple like disclosing such breaches. With AI, I don't think security by obscurity works any longer to conceal exploitable code.

Labour and Conservatives continue to lose a lot of seats to Reform Party (Farange). No word on Greater Yarmouth and Rupert's Lowe's Restore UK.

From X, "Yo, it's the UK local council elections from yesterday (May 7). Still counting with only 38 of 136 done, but in plain English:

Reform UK is the big winner – they've grabbed 312 seats so far (huge surge).
Labour is losing bad, down 237 seats.
Tories also down 115.
Lib Dems and Greens picking up some. "

It also looks like Labour loses control of the Welsh Parliament with Reform dueling it out with Plaid Cymru (Welsh nationalist party), and the voters turning to Scottish National Party and Reform are dumping the major parties in the Scottish Parliament elections.

Even if a real scientist wanted to, and even if he were self-funding, he would face flack at the level Elon Musk has.

I really do think that they can drive homicidal ideation, and may have caused murders. Well, that's at the extreme, but I would also expect to find them more commonly responsible for slightly less dramatic effects, such as rage-outs and generically antisocial behavior.

Yeah that looked like one of those little giant ladders, or a copy of one. It looked to be maybe fiberglass. I have a little giant thats all aluminum and its a heavy bastard for a ladder. The weight makes it nice and stable, its like running up a set of oak stairs, but carrying it over your head would be suicide.

My question is how does President Trump find the time to mismanage the country, tear down the East Wing, run a fascist dictatorship, make our European betters hate us, and run for California governor? OK, he isn't running for governor but you would think he is since the only thing the Democrat candidates can talk about for more than 10 seconds is how President Trump has ruined California over the last 30 years.

To be fair to Katie Porter I never heard her moo. Not even once. On the other hand, still being fair to Katie Porter, I personally heard her oink a lot.

339 Got in a good shop day today. Got my main workbench "mostly" cleared off, dumping out and sorting multiple small containers of stuff, and sorting by category (nuts, bolts, washers, etc.) into containers of like stuff for eventual sorting by size. Small hardware is becoming quite expensive, and if one lives rural like me, just going to the nearest hardware store takes the better part of an hour. So even if I have to dump out a jar marked "nuts smaller than 1/4" to find the 8-32 nut that I need, I am still time and money ahead. And I moved some cartons of engine parts off the bench, and onto a shelf, and one item removed from the shelf to make room was an old armature growler. I have taken it apart, and will attempt to restore it. Very simple device.

Hah! I have never seen any old aero engines at anything like a price I could afford. I did commence a project of putting a little Continental flathead 4-banger into a Bolens lawn tractor. Got it about half finished, engine securely mounted, driveshaft to hydrostatic transaxle connected, and set it aside due to acquiring a good Diesel tractor. Needed to do wiring, carburetor, plumb fuel and exhaust, radiator, and accessory drive to finish. Could be done; I have all the parts.

Seems unlikely, and certainly hope not. We'll only know in the end, but most probable seems to be the strategery is mostly to maximize pressure (blockade, financial asset seizures) in order to precipitate regime realignment (hard to see how that would work) or collapse (not likely).

With the "backup" being the enormous military force we still have ready and close, along of course with Israel's hammer.

He still has not brought me a gift. But he also doesn't fly away when he sees me.

Worse, I doubt I can resurrect all the shows he appeared in but didn't get a ribbon, since in that case he wouldn't appear in the AKC's show results.

I missed it, thinking it was today for some reason, but May 5th was the cross-quarter day, halfway between the spring equinox and summer solstice (halfway defined in terms of the sun's ecliptic longitude).

So by the so-called "solar season" definition, where the equinoxes and solstices occur at the centers of the season, summer started May 5th. Otherwise, that was "peak spring".

I have to see if Snowflake is ready to come in. She likes to sleep here for about half the night and I put her out in the middle of the night.

But I have no litter boxes in the house. So that's a pretty good deal.

Understand that this race was for local council seats, not Parliamentary seats except in Scotland and Wales. Important because the local councils handle all local issues.

One projection has Labour losing 1600 local seats and reform picking up 1600. Greens are not as strong as was fired.

US Assets Counter-Attack Iranian Fast Boats

Good.

But they're claiming none of this violated the ceasefire, because they're trying to pretend to comport with the unconstitutional War Powers Act for some reason.

A U.S. strike on Iran's Qeshm Port in the Strait of Hormuz and Bandar Abbas were reported Thursday, with U.S. officials telling Fox News National Security Correspondent Jennifer Griffin that this was neither a restart of the war nor an end to the ceasefire.
The U.S. military also struck Iran's Bandar Kargan naval checkpoint in Minab, officials confirmed.
The development came as Iran's state-run IRNA news agency also reported air defense activity in western Tehran.
Two other loud explosions were heard Thursday night, while eyewitnesses told Iran International they heard multiple blasts in Chitgar.
Iran's state-run Mehr News Agency also reported attacks and exchanges of fire across Iran's southern Hormozgan province near Bandar Abbas, Bandar Khamir, Sirik and Qeshm Island, according to reports.
Thursday's strike on Iran's major port came two days after Iran fired 15 ballistic and cruise missiles at the UAE's Fujairah Port.
Those strikes sparked anger among Gulf countries, officials told Griffin, though Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and Gen. Dan Caine had said during a Pentagon briefing May 5 that those attacks did not amount to a violation of the ceasefire.
Hegseth and Caine described the attacks as low-level incidents that did not rise to that threshold.

U.S. forces intercepted unprovoked Iranian attacks and responded with self-defense strikes as U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyers transited the Strait of Hormuz to the Gulf of Oman, May 7.
Iranian forces launched multiple missiles, drones and small boats as USS Truxtun (DDG 103), USS Rafael Peralta (DDG 115), and USS Mason (DDG 87) transited the international sea passage. No U.S. assets were struck.
U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) eliminated inbound threats and targeted Iranian military facilities responsible for attacking U.S. forces including missile and drone launch sites; command and control locations; and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance nodes.
CENTCOM does not seek escalation but remains positioned and ready to protect American forces.

If they're firing on US ships, the War Powers Act is out the window. The US President has nearly unlimited inherent authority to defend US ships and bases from attack.

More from Ed Morrissey. The Iranians attacked us with "swarms of fast attack boats." I don't understand why those were allowed to continue existing.

Dozens of California-based representatives sent a letter Thursday to the state’s attorney general urging him to conduct a “full and robust review” of the proposed acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery by Paramount Skydance Corporation.

“If you determine that this merger would have anticompetitive effects, use your best judgment to pursue the appropriate course of action,” the letter, signed by 34 members of Congress representing different districts in California, reads.

The effort was spearheaded by Rep. Laura Friedman — representing California’s 30th Congressional District — whose office confirmed it had previously been in touch with Paramount about the merger.
The letter’s concerns were reinforced by signatures from several high-profile Democrats, including Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters, Zoe Lofgren, Ted Lieu and Ro Khanna.

A group of House Democrats is urging the Trump administration to publicly acknowledge Israel’s undeclared nuclear weapons program, a move that would abandon decades of U.S. policy but confirm what has been an open secret among intelligence officials since the late 1960s.

54 Three World Class American Destroyers just transited, very successfully, out of the Strait of Hormuz, under fire. There was no damage done to the three Destroyers, but great damage done to the Iranian attackers. They were completely destroyed along with numerous small boats, which are being used to take the place of their fully decapitated Navy. These boats went to the bottom of the Sea, quickly and efficiently. Missiles were shot at our Destroyers, and were easily knocked down. Likewise, drones came, and were incinerated while in the air. They dropped ever so beautifully down to the Ocean, very much like a butterfly dropping to its grave! A normal Country would have allowed these Destroyers to pass, but Iran is not a normal Country. They are led by LUNATICS, and if they had the chance to use a Nuclear Weapon, they would do it, without question — But they’ll never have that opportunity and, just like we knocked them out again today, we’ll knock them out a lot harder, and a lot more violently, in the future, if they don’t get their Deal signed, FAST! Our three Destroyers, with their wonderful Crews, will now rejoin our Naval Blockade, which is truly a “Wall of Steel.” President DJT

🚨 ENRAGING COURTROOM REVEAL

Sheridan Gorman’s mother dropping hard truth after watching her daughter’s accused killer in court last week:
“They claimed he doesn’t understand English and has the mentality of a small child — so he can’t stand trial.”

Mom fired back:

“I saw him stand in the courtroom. He can stand. A small child doesn’t buy an illegal gun. A small child doesn’t stand at the end of a pier and execute someone.”

Even more damning — he was answering the judge before the translator could even speak. He understood every word.

This is the same illegal who was caught at the border, released under Biden, arrested again, and released again before murdering an innocent 18-year-old American girl.

The authorized use of Military Force from 9-11 is still in force, and allows the President to use force against ANY ALLY of Al Q and Bin Laden.

The Taliban were attacked by multiple US Presidents under this rubric... and the Taliban were funded, armed, and aided, by Iran.

Ergo, Iran was an ally of Bin Laden and Al Q... thus falling under the 9-11 Authorization.... Congress never put a time limit on it, nor rescinded it.

What’s more, after Alpha News contacted Jaylani Hussein for comment on April 29, his name and phone number were removed from the license record.

Hussein, who has led the Minnesota chapter of CAIR since 2015, was — until days ago — listed as a license holder for an adult foster care program alongside co-licensee Fardosa Adan Hassan, according to state records.

However I trust Trump and there have been MANY refueling planes in the air in the last few days.

I honestly think the end is near of this mess and that No One with a brain expected them to not violate any rules. Iran can't even get their act together enough to know who is in charge to meet with the USA.

No worries. I simply pray. It's as easy as that for me. Prayers for Trump and his cabinet, and for our military and bases. I do want them to end this.

Four months after masked federal agents shot and killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti on the streets of Minneapolis, New York leaders announced a plan to implement some of the strictest rules for immigration officials of any state in the country.

The package, which was included in the state budget deal announced on Thursday, prohibits state and local officials from entering into formal or informal cooperation agreements with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and bars law enforcement agents from wearing masks.

There is much work to be done. There are still rockets, munitions and people to man them. These people are zealots and will not quit to the last man.

The goal appears to not be regime change, the goal appears to be to break the financial and market hold the EU and the Brits have on the region.
They seem to kick up conflicts there any time the price of oil goes too high, and they also seem to profit from insuring the pipelines and shipping in the area, which demands a higher "war risk" premium when conflicts start.

Like Venezuela, once the outside funding goes away the outside influence stops being important, the the gulf states can go back to pumping and selling oil and figuring out what to do with their profits.
Regime change stops that process because it means everyone has to fight over who is boss. The way Trump is doing it, he is getting everyone to fight over who is boss first.

Quick Hits

The family of Sheridan Gorman -- the co-ed brutally slain by an illegal alien who a Chicago city councilwoman blamed for her own death by saying she was in "the wrong place at the wrong time" -- corrects the record: No, the Venezuelan illegal alien killer was in the wrong place.

As commenters pointed out (and I missed), Democrats are currently shrieking MUH RACISM about Tennessee redrawing the Memphis-area district. That seat is currently held by a pasty white fraud named Steve Cohen.

I don't think Cohen is a black name.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Congressman Steve Cohen is reacting to the congressional map of Tennessee proposed by Republican state lawmakers on Wednesday.
U.S. Congressman Steve Cohen says it's devastating, and he believes it's a way to divide the Black vote in order to minimize its influence.
Protesters made their voices heard during a House committee hearing in Nashville over the proposed redistricting of District 9, which includes the city of Memphis.
"Memphis is Black, there's no denying that," protesters chanted.

Yeah but Cohen isn't. So the Maximize Minority Voting Power rule failed anyway.

"It devastates the work that has been done to rectify the injuries to African Americans because of years, centuries of slavery and decades of Jim Crow rule and Jim Crow laws," said Cohen.

Jesus, he's talking like he's Kunte J. Kinte.

By the way, he's already announced he's filing a hopeless, dilatory lawsuit only to run out the clock to keep his seat.

I cannot wait to cast an illegal vote in Tennessee against him.

And why shouldn't I? Democrats insist it's everyone's right to vote illegally.

Maybe things are changing: A judge ruled the Trump DOJ can keep 600+ boxes of "ballots" seized from Fani Willis' Fulton County, to inspect them for authenticity.

Shipwreckedcrew
@shipwreckedcrew
Exactly.
No one has ever inspected the actual ballots that didn't have an interest in the 2020 results being confirmed.
A federal grand jury has no obligation to accept any conclusions reached by anyone before them.
That's because no one before them had subpoena power of a federal court, and the ability to compel testimony under oath with a threat of contempt if they refuse.
This is a new ballgame played by different rules.

Update: They're still babbling that the seat held by Steve Cohen is his forever because "it's a black district."

3. Tribe & Somalia
4. Their Pirate Fraud in Western nations to take care of all of the above.

14 A thing about deportation numbers.

There's no clear one source of information.

ICE does arrests. Another part of DHS does deportations. Every federal agency is authorized to arrest for immigration offenses (Trump deputized them).

And different departures are classified differently.

Arrested and leave voluntarily? That's not a deportation. That's a voluntary departure. Arrested and forced onto the plane to Djibouti? That's a deportation. Just leaving without telling anyone? That's a self-deportation. Using the CBPOne app to record your departure? That's another category.

Did you know that recent studies are showing that for every one immigration arrest by ICE, six illegals leave the workforce in the area? Think they're just hanging out?

16 Justice Department can keep 2020 election ballots seized from Georgia’s Fulton County, judge rules. ~90% of Trump appointees are in the Federalist Society. Apparently they only make up 5-6% of lawyers in general so quite the powerful org if you want to toady your way to a Supreme Court seat.

We are so fucked. Like, seriously fucked. This is the game folks. Every election he doesn't like will be "fraud," and he will be able to toss out results.

The Department of Justice is going to make up some sort of Investigation into voting the regularities and they will use this to not swear in the new Congress.

this is full on election interference dry run type stuff. They are seeing how much they can get away with come the midterms and the answer is "everything" apparently

The US is never recovering from this. The US has collapsed into fascism and these are the dying throes of a dead country.

The idea of Trump seizing ballots in the midterms only to be stopped by the judicial branch should be an idea people are quickly realizing won’t happen. He will deploy ICE and the military in large cities to "secure" the ballots and count them...

116 So some excitement in the Strait tonight (there) as Iranian FACs mix it up with a Burke-class destroyer. No score yet reported.

There's still time to implement my plan before jetting off to Beijing.

Obvious move now is to force Iran to enforce their ridiculous claims to control the Strait. They might get some licks in, but they cannot survive a serious sustained offensive from us. They're defenseless. Full fury of air (manned and unmanned), sea (manned and unmanned), and special forces (kill missions) will inevitably eliminate their last "card".

Leaving the question of regime survival a tiny bit less critical (still needs to go), and further illustrating there's no fighting us and winning.

Launching this now, just before (during?) the Beijing trip, would be ..... chef's kiss. Let's see Chy-nah react to this. Lol.

118 14 A thing about deportation numbers.

There's no clear one source of information.

ICE does arrests. Another part of DHS does deportations. Every federal agency is authorized to arrest for immigration offenses (Trump deputized them).

And different departures are classified differently.

Arrested and leave voluntarily? That's not a deportation. That's a voluntary departure. Arrested and forced onto the plane to Djibouti? That's a deportation. Just leaving without telling anyone? That's a self-deportation. Using the CBPOne app to record your departure? That's another category.

Did you know that recent studies are showing that for every one immigration arrest by ICE, six illegals leave the workforce in the area? Think they're just hanging out?

123 A “Muslims-only” celebration at Epic Waters Indoor Waterpark in Grand Prairie, Texas, has been canceled. The private gathering, scheduled for June 1st, was initially promoted on flyers circulating on social media as an exclusive event open "only" to Muslims and their families.

Halal food was to be served while the park provided a "private prayer area" for park-goers.

The announcement quickly triggered widespread backlash, with critics condemning the use of a public facility for blatant religious discrimination. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) intervened, warning city officials they risked losing $530,000 in state grants if the event moved forward.

126 Intel estimates of enemy situation in a closed hostile society is hard. Surprise! That's why they're called "estimates" ("appreciations" in the inevitably more sophistimicated and fancy British case).

Yes this violently contrasts with a public that gets its understanding of the world from TV shows and bad fiction (all fiction). But it's reality.

So *estimating* Iran's missile sitrep is dicey by definition. The publicly reported Mossad numbers don't differ by much, BTW. Some missiles are "entombed" in underground shelters, but many of those are recoverable (only the entrances were hit). And on and on.

Carry on.

In a just society whenever an illegal alien kills a citizen the surviving family members will get to take out one loud mouth talking head supporter, each. The loud mouth need not have any direct relationship to the killing.
This would be all perfectly legal in this just society, but discretion is a requirement because 'surprise' 'just happens' when it comes to illegal alien invaders and supporting them.

I'm good with immigration being the child of an immigrant. She's based AF. According to you she should be shipped out just for being from a country with not much experience with representative democracy and the rule of law. To me, I think if you stroll across the border, you get bounced, and if you are a legal immigrant, cool - but we just shouldn't let everyone in at once. We can't. We let in limited amounts of people and if they cut out of line in the slightest way, they get bounced. And some years we don't let in anybody because we need to take care of our own. But blanket hatred of foreigners? You're all wet.

Tennessee Passes New Gerrymandered Map Which Will, Hopefully, Eliminate the Last Democrat-Held Congressional Seat

And that seat is held by hyperpartisan asshole Steve Cohen and oh boy, will I be glad to see the back of him.

Below, the map has redrawn the map so that parts of Democrat-stronghold Memphis will be included with big swathes of red country voters, hopefully flipping it to Republicans.

It's a dirty gerrymander but Democrats have long been playing this game dirty as hell for decades. As people keep pointing out, New England, as a whole, is 40% Republican -- but Republicans have no seats in any NE state, because they've all been gerrymandered so that Democrats outnumber them in each and every bizarrely-crafted district.

It's just one seat. It will take Tennessee -- one hopes -- from 8 to 1 to 9 to 0.

But every seat is precious, as declares the masthead credo of Modern Butt Magazine.

National Pulse:

Tennessee Republicans have put forward a new congressional map that could secure all nine of the state's congressional districts for the GOP by eliminating a Democrat-represented district that was gerrymandered in order to create a black voting majority. Governor Bill Lee (R) had called the state legislature into a special session on Friday in to consider redistricting following a Supreme Court ruling against racial gerrymandering.
DETAIL: The proposed map divides the majority-black district in Shelby County, potentially displacing Representative Steve Cohen, and also alters Maury County to favor Republican incumbent Rep. Andy Ogles.

Democrats handled the political setback as they always do, with disorder, intimidation, and threat of violence:

Defenders of Cohen and pre-Callais districts make it no longer about black representation but black choice.

Cohen, pasty white dude, is their choice therefore Gingles approved.

However, outside of that, the argument is that there will be fewer black representatives in Congress.

There are several known unknowns at play. They could have large effects. They could have minimal effects. They could have effects in reverse of what we expect.

But the biggest thing is that the 2020 census led to an overall draw of maps that made swing districts really rare. This mid-decade will be expanding that group of safe seats, but it's of course just the question of who does the most.

On balance...I end up just ceding to conventional wisdom of how midterms work because I really don't know how these extras will affect things. Really...how much of an effect was USAID on US elections? It's a big question.

Simple mechanistic solution: each State gets number of Reps based upon its population. So say State X gets 9 Reps. Start at the southern border of X, and scroll an E-W line North until 1/9 of X's population is south of that line. There is District 1. Rinse and repeat.

Reps represent people, not units of land area.

All Congressional Districts should therefore be of roughly the same population.

There used to be a quaint idea that the folks in the district shared some values. And the rep voted accordingly. Those days are long gone.

I realize it's a preposterous idea, but I'd contend that a sq mileage map would lead to more 'representation' than the current dog's breakfast.

Every single Democrat voted with Finke to block voter verification in Minnesota.

Posted by: pookysgirl knows democracy when she sees it at May 07, 2026 04:47 PM (Wt5PA)

94 So a couple of thoughts on right leaning gerrymandering...

Ideally we'd stop gerrymandering over all but there is no way to honestly do so. Human beings will decide how to divide up the map and they will do so on the basis of their own observed self interest which here will follow their political orientation.

This has become a bigger issue because of just how far the left has gotten we aren't debating slight changes to tax rates any more. And in turn Democrats have gotten extreme because they've become to rely more and more on fake votes - the dead, illegals, and people submitting ballots on behalf of people that aren't going to vote.

Now the one caveat in all this is what the Dems do with their urban fraud machines.

When they are already +30 in a district they are somewhat limited in what they will do at the House race level because it doesn't matter. But if Memphis produces 4X as many ballots as registered voters to win these new districts are state officials ready to deal with it?

As of last week, the Appeals Court shot down Memphis' injunction to kick out the NG and return the city to control by its gang-run government. Too bad, so sad, Memphis """Police""" Department!

Now this.

All that's left now is for the Statehouse to revoke that fucking city's charter, disincorporate and send their thug government packing, to be replaced at a later date, once it's cleaned up.

Pull the trigger. That portal to Hell is a national embarrassment. High time the adults stepped in and restored order once and for all.

99 Confound the next libtard you meet by pronouncing it 'gary-mander'. The original pronunciation. Named after Elbridge Gerry, a Founding Father and fifth Vice President of the United States.

Also ask them where the '-mander part comes from. It's from salamander. A political opponent said a Boston-area state senate district drawn by Gerry resembled a mythological salamander. Helping spread and sustain the term, a political cartoon depicted a strange animal with claws, wings, and a dragon-like head that supposedly resembled the oddly shaped district.

102 Of course, these little wins mean nothing if voter turnout remains lethargic in off-year primaries and elections.

What the data shows in the special elections is Rs showing up to vote at normal rates and Ds showing up at off year election rates.

The argument the FNM makes is D voters are more animated, which doesn't actually seem right based on my circle, but it could, and likely IS, a reflection that when you have a small number of fixers submitting ballots it is as easy to get them to do so for a special election as any other

190 By having extra people on the voter rolls (dead, moved, fake, etc.) they can hide fake ballots being added on Election Day.

If, say, the legitimate number of registered voters is X, but there’s an additional 100k registered ghost voters, then it’s not as obvious when they dump 15k extra ballots into the mix ( or find them the day after election) because the sum total of votes cast won’t come close to exceeding total registered voters. As each type of ghost registrant is removed from the rolls, the harder it is to statistically hide ballot dumps.

They must have the most inflated voter rolls possible so that 82 million votes for Biden can be argued legitimate.

Their response is something along the lines of:

US forces intercepted unprovoked Iranian attacks and responded with self-defense strikes as U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyers transited the Strait of Hormuz to the Gulf of Oman. Iranian forces launched multiple missiles, drones and small boats as USS Truxtun (DDG 103), USS Rafael Peralta (DDG 115), and USS Mason (DDG 87) transited the international sea passage. No U.S. assets were struck. U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) eliminated inbound threats and targeted Iranian military facilities responsible for attacking U.S. forces including missile and drone launch sites; command and control locations; and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance nodes.

246 Yes, New England is indeed pathetic, with not one GOP House member elected at the last three cycles.

However, to be fair, the only state among them where gerrymandering is a factor would be MA. VT has only one seat, so not applicable, and ME, RI, and NH have only two each, so hard to draw lines for either party's advantage.

On the other hand, RI should have lost one of them in 2020 but for Census Bureau blue state chicanery (which they have admitted).

Gavin Newsom Gave $40 Million in California Taxpayer Dollars to an Islamist Hate Group Who Advised Muslims to Call for the Death of Jews Privately, But Avoid Saying So on Public Media

So Californians paid $40 million to promote taqiyya?

The Party of Plunder, continued:

Why Did California Award This Alleged Hamas Front $40 Million?
Other states are trying to shutter CAIR branches. Gavin Newsom is writing them checks.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) presents itself as an innocuous Muslim civil rights group--a reputation it reinforces with litigation and claims of anti-Muslim bigotry. But the group finds itself under increasing scrutiny for alleged connections to the Muslim Brotherhood and its offshoot, Hamas. Last November, Texas Governor Greg Abbott designated CAIR a terrorist organization. The following month, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis followed suit, citing CAIR's being listed as an unindicted co-conspirator in a major terrorism financing case.
But as other states move to sideline CAIR, California is embracing this alleged terror front. CAIR-CA, the organization's largest statewide affiliate, is flush with taxpayer cash. In the last five years, the California Department of Social Services (CDSS) has rubberstamped at least $41 million in funding to the group. The vast majority of that money, it turns out, comes from the federal government. These federal dollars are flowing into CAIR-CA's coffers even after it was the target of a recent Department of Justice investigation.
This City Journal report--based on a trove of documents provided to us by the Intelligent Advocacy Network (IAN), a California-based nonprofit--reveals good reason for the DOJ to be digging into CAIR-CA. It also raises serious questions about why Gavin Newsom's government is funding a chapter of an organization with alleged terrorist ties.
CAIR was founded in 1994 with the ostensible aim of advancing Muslim-American civil rights. The organization claims that it "is not and never has been an agent" or affiliate of "any militant group." But the historical record offers justification to question that characterization.
...
One would think that CAIR's ties to an Islamist terror group would make government agencies pause before providing it with public funds. But under Governor Gavin Newsom, California's state government has seemingly never met a "marginalized group" it did not want to shower with other people's money. CAIR-CA is rolling in tax dollars.
In 2022, CDSS awarded CAIR-CA $7.2 million in federal funds via a state program to provide immigration-related legal assistance. For its part, CAIR-CA pledged to serve approximately 1,800 people through September 2024, and earlier this year, claimed to have fulfilled that promise "across . . . various subgrantees." According to IAN, a public records request submitted to the CDSS did not confirm how many legal cases have been handled as part of the grant; in its most recent annual report, CAIR-CA said that it had helped "dozens of Afghan families" through the project. In September 2025, CDSS rubberstamped an additional $23 million in federal funds for CAIR-CA.
In 2024, CAIR-CA's IRS filings revealed that it had distributed more than $4 million in subgrants to 39 organizations. Among these sub-grantees were various groups with Islamist ties. For example, CAIR-CA sub-granted roughly $185,000 to California chapters of the Muslim American Society (MAS). GWU's Program on Extremism identifies MAS as an open "Brotherhood legacy group" in the U.S. In 2004, a top MAS official estimated that nearly half of the organization's activists were Muslim Brotherhood members. (MAS, which did not respond to our request for comment, claims to have "no affiliation" with the Muslim Brotherhood.)

Ah, "subgrantees" once again -- the way that corrupt government officials launder money illegally to banned groups. Fauci did the same with funding the creation of covid-19 -- he awarded a grant to his butt buddy Peter Daszak's EcoHealth, who then did the thing that Fauci was forbidden to do and sent money to the Wuhan's Covid lab to create the virus that shut down the world.

CAIR-CA also sub-granted $30,000 to the Islamic Society of Orange County, which has ties to an individual connected to the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. In 1992, ISOC's director invited Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman, also known as the "Blind Sheikh," to deliver a lecture, during which he reportedly "dismissed" nonviolent interpretations of jihad. A year later, Rahman was charged with seditious conspiracy for his connection to the attack. (ISOC did not respond to our request for comment.)
In 2024, CAIR-CA sub-granted $117,000 to California "relief" chapters of the Islamic Circle of North America. ICNA was originally established as a U.S. affiliate of the Jamaat-e-Islami movement, whose founder's ideology influenced the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood. In addition, in 2000, a former ICNA president penned an article that seemingly endorsed the establishment of an Islamic caliphate in the U.S. (ICNA did not respond to our request for comment.)
CAIR-CA has claimed, however implausibly, that it has no control over the selection of its sub-grantees. In January 2026, the director of CAIR-CA, Hussam Ayloush, wrote to a congressional subcommittee claiming that his organization "had no input or role" in determining the sub-grantees. Instead, he suggested that CDSS had selected them.
While CDSS told IAN that it "reviews and authorizes all . . . subgrantees," the department did not release records showing that it approved or authorized the CAIR-CA sub-grants. Additionally, Alyoush's signature appears on the sub-grant contracts, which, according to IAN, suggests that CAIR-CA exercised significant discretion over millions in federal tax dollars.

Below, the well-heeled terrorist Newsom is paying huge sums of money to advises Muslims not to say hateful terrorist things on LinkedIn, but says that you can say these things in the privacy of Muslim spaces, and certainly you may think and believe them.

She warns that advocating "things I can't say" about "Zionist" is "not strategic," but you can say it around a Muslim center if you're so inclined. Just be "strategic" in your support of terrorism and murder of non-Muslims!

Zahra Billoo, one of the leaders of the American Islamist terror-linked nonprofit, CAIR, instructed Muslims to be strategic in how they hide their radicalism. She says transparency is not good.

Disastrous Charlotte Dem Mayor Abruptly Resigns

"Serving as Charlotte's mayor has been the honor of my life," Lyle announced on Thursday, reports WCNC Charlotte. "Now, it is time for the next phase of my life, to spend more time with my grandchildren and for someone new to lead us forward."

Perhaps Lyles’s most shameful moment was her reaction to the murder of young Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on the Charlotte Area Transit System subway. Serial criminal Decarlos Brown randomly stabbed Iryna to death and then, based on surveillance footage, gloated to himself repeatedly, “Got the white girl.” Lyles did not even mention Iryna‘s name in her statement after the murder, nor did she condemn the brutal crime. Instead, she fixated on building up a sob story over the murderer.

The Democrat mayor solemnly warned against demonizing the homeless, as if Brown’s long series of crimes culminating in deadly butchery were due to people making critical comments about homelessness. “We will never arrest our way out of issues such as homelessness and mental health,”

60 The sad thing is, CA giving the $100 million raised for Palisades fire victims to a bunch of ngos, who then spent it on their own pet projects, is the norm.

Same thing happened in Maine with money raised for a mass shooting incident. Went to ngos, including Muslim ones who used it to help immigrants. None of the Maine residents/American citizens saw a dime.

If you donate, donate to the charity directly related to the cause, preferably local. Otherwise, it web eaten up is administrative costs Ang distributed to other organizations/causes.

Always always always read the fine print whenever you donate.

90% of the time, there's a disclaimer that says the donations can be used for almost any purpose, including funneling to NGOs. I'll bet any amount of money this was the case with the Palisades donations.

And it ain't just fetid commie fundraisers. The Red Cross occasionally gets into trouble when it raises big money for a specific event. People think they are donating to help with that specific event. But in reality, the fine print says you are donating to the Red Cross generally, and it could be used for anything.

They ARE the mafia now.

director, Hussam Ayloush, believes that "the West" is controlled by Epstein-style "pedophiles" and "people engaged in killing of children."

They use this a lot, as they noticed that the west really does not like adults who mess with children. They refer to Trump as the "pedo president" and attack the west as "Epstein class" etc. Not that they have a problem with it, but because they know we do.

Its super easy to counter, so I am not sure what they hope to accomplish but there you are.

That meant last night...his arm was fresh from the wound and relatively loosely wrapped in bandages. I slept in his room offering him solace whenever he woke up in pain which was...frequent. I'm tired.

But, he has a full cast on now as of this morning. I learned that cast wrapping is made of fiberglass, which is neat.

87 One would think that CAIR's ties to an Islamist terror group would make government agencies pause before providing it with public funds.
One would think that a simple reading of the Constitution would make government pause before authorizing any of this money to spent at all on "NGOs".

What constitutional activity was this money going for? To combat "islamophobia"? Because that would, arguably, be establishment of religion, given that the reason people express themselves negatively about Islam is its religious doctrines (the ones about killing infidels, Jews, and Christians, in particular).

Pitt was a good fit in that he was good looking, big enough for the role, and while he has gotten better at acting he was good enough at the time.

Who would you pick today for a young male action star?
Posted by: 18-1 at May 07, 2026 02:57 PM (sKqQm)

I would look at MMA and the "action stunt" circuit, like the Red Bull-sponsored stuff that Ace posts in the Cafes.

As the Likely All-Time Star Wars Box Office Failure Mandalorian and Grogu Is Set to Bomb on May 22, Lunatic Abortion-Thirsty Former Celebrity Mark Hamill Publicly Prays for the Death of the President

As always: the subhed is Hollywood: Shit or Garbage?

Mark Hamill appeared in the TV show the film is based on -- well, he didn't "appear," a de-aged CGI double of him "appeared," one that doesn't look like a wad of chewed gum covered in a homeless man's beard-hairs -- and it's very likely this assassination-wishing communist death-cultist will appear in the Disney Groomer Organization's new disaster.

They calculated that this would stoke audience interest.

So now this lunatic does this, and the same Groomer corporation who fired and defamed Gina Carano for saying her pronouns were "beep/boop" stands behind their assassination prepper.

Julia 🇺🇸
@Jules31415

Mark Hamill knows exactly what he's doing.
If you read the comments in the Bluesky thread, it's inspiring many mentally ill individuals to fantasize about this scenario--and even call for it.
I've even had leftists calling for it in my thread this morning. Sick--and in some cases, potentially criminal. Our country is in real trouble.

🚨 NOW: The White House is EVISCERATING deranged Mark Hamill for openly egging on the death of President Trump

Barack Obama, who ordered the mass-prosecution of his political opponent, his staff, and their lawyers, and who now (as ever) pals around with a terrorist, expresses his disappointment that modern Republicans don't "respect the rule of law" like he did.

Obama: "I'm worried about the Republican Party.. I'd love a loyal opposition. I'd love a Republican Party that was conservative in some ways, believed in rule of law and judicial independence and science, and wasn't constantly tapping into our worst impulses." pic.twitter.com/UCV93fUxyA
— Defiant L�s (@DefiantLs) May 6, 2026

John Kass asks the question many of us have been asking ourselves: What if Republicans began agitating for the murder of Barack Obama like Barack Obama's cultists agitate for the murder of Trump?

The Democrats responded to the assassination attempts by scoffing, smirking, laughing, protected and supported by legacy corporate media, and accusing Trump of staging the attempts on his own life.
But none dared stand up to the rabid left that has tried to take Trump's life and threatened the lives of other Republicans, from Republicans in Congress shot by an angry leftist at a baseball practice, to conservatives on the Supreme Court. And I wondered:
What would happen if Obama's life had been repeatedly threatened with assassins failing three times in a matter of months and Republicans called Obama a fascist What if conservatives appear on late night TV talk shows to mock Michelle Obama the way ABC's Jimmy Kimmel tastelessly mocked First Lady Melania Trump, and dared say Michelle was "glowing like an expectant widow?" How long would he have a show?
Don't think of it as some parlor game. Think of it happening right now, for real.
Would Kimmel keep his $16 million salary and perks if he mocked Michelle? Would the blue cities burn at the hands of angry blacks as the cities burned during the Democrat "Summer of Love in 2020 when the left turned the violent drug-addicted thug George Floyd into a saint?
The broken legacy media won't address this and or dare challenge their rabid leftist subscriber base. I don't see the Chicago Tribune and the rest of Chicago media demanding that Illinois Gov. J.B Pritzker shut his Ozempically skinny lips and insist he stop inciting assassination by repeatedly screaming lies that Trump is a Nazi and Fascist?
I'm sure you can outline the issue. Three assassination attempts and they will continue because the hard left demands it.

These questions are no longer hypothetical, like they used to be.

We're tired of playing by different rules.

If the real rules supported by the Democrat-Media Complex say that it is understandable and even noble to agitate a movement's more excitable members to kill people the movement doesn't like, the countdown to the Republican embrace of this rule is officially ticking down.

John Kass, continued:

As Jimmy Kimmel basks in all the attention he's getting, has anyone had the good manners to think of Tuffy Gessling?
You've forgotten Tuffy?
He's the Missouri rodeo clown banned for life for mocking Obama, daring to ask the crowd if they wanted to see another clown in an Obama mask "get run down" by a bull.
Gesseling was forced to march the walk of shame and he was banned. FOR LIFE. And he was a real clown not some buffo from Chicago who had the crooked influence peddler Tony Rezko buy him a Chicago dreamhouse while presenting publicly as some kind of virtuous political reformer.
And the great Hank Williams Jr. had an iconic song, one of my favorites, titled Are you ready for some football? It was deleted from Monday Night Football." He called Obama some kind of Hitler. And apparently only white male Republicans can be called the 'h' word, but Obama may never be mocked that way. Never, ever.
But ESPN/ABC currently defends Kimmel for his tasteless attacks on The First Lay Melania Trump and the Trump family.

15 I think this is the logical end result of epistemic closure.

The left has built such an impregnable bubble that they cannot imagine any other viewpoint but their own.

In the 90s, the ration of liberal to conservative professors on campus was about 3 to 1.

Massively lopsided, but with 1/4 of the professorate being conservative, liberals at least were exposed to conservative ideas and had to understand there was a debate.

The ratio is now 9 to 1 and many areas are 100 to 0. The people most harmed by this are the liberals, ironically. They don't realize that they are a minority and start pushing money-losing idea like "the future is female!".

Christopher Nolan does seem to be swinging for the Failure Fences with this one, though.

As of May 2026, reports are unconfirmed, but it is heavily rumored that Elliot Page is cast to play the ghost of Achilles in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey. While Page is confirmed to have joined the film's cast, specific character details remain undisclosed.

Key Details on the Rumor
The Role: The rumor suggests Page will appear as the "ghost of Achilles" (or a shade) rather than the living warrior from The Iliad, fitting the narrative of The Odyssey where Odysseus encounters dead heroes.

I choose to believe it. TBF, there's a difference between Achilles, and the ghost of Achilles.

There was some discussion on here a while back about this phenomenon, and IIRC it's because modern movies are mixed for their eventual release to home audiences, not for theater viewing. Most people don't have true home theaters with big side channel speakers, so they boost everything that is mapped to those to make it audible at home, thus when in a theater that has a proper sound system those channels completely overwhelm everything else.

268 212 Shadows of the Empire would be ... 2.5? I guess? LucasArts did that one to revive hype before those prequels.

Shadows was a full-blown "let's do everything we'd normally do for a movie - merchandising, novels, tie-ins, etc. - without actually doing a movie." In hindsight it was a dry-run of the prequel plan in the same way that the Special Editions were dry runs for the kinds of sequences George was planning for those films.

The game is rough to go back to today, but the best thing about it is that it inspired the creation of the Rogue Squadron games. The second one, which is sadly still locked to the GameCube, is one of the greatest Star Wars games of all time.

298 The primary reasons for declining testosterone levels in young males is a combination of:

. Poor Diet (diets high in processed foods and sugars contribute to insulin resistance and nutrient deficiencies like zinc& vitamin D, hindering testosterone synthesis;

. Rising Obesity and Metabolic Health Issues (excess body fat converts testosterone into estrogen);

. Reduced Physical Activity and Sedentary Lifestyles (including chronic sleep deprivation, with high stress -- which leads to elevated cortisol and significantly suppressed testosterone production); and

. Environmental and Chemical Exposure (increased exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals -- such as BPA and phthalates in plastics and pesticides -- that interfere with hormone regulation.

306 "These questions are no longer hypothetical, like they used to be."

The ugly not-so-hidden secret is that The Left (and about half of the Democrat-voting population) have wanted whomever the GOP leader is to be dead for decades. Going back to Reagan (heck, Nixon), they wished death upon them. Granted, TDS has made it the most openly-hostile since, probably, Lincoln, the Left has always been disproportionately represented by violence against reason and law. And since Trump is the single-most driven and effective leader we've had since possibly Washington, he's going to be expressly vilified and attacked without apology or introspection.

I'm agnostic, but I pray for Trump, his administration, and their families. Assassination Culture is not imaginary. Third World countries live it and the DNC proactively imports/promotes this philosophy via illegal immigration and foreign ideology.

DNI Tulsi Gabbard Investigates Evidence That the "Intelligence" Community Treasonously Covered Up for China's Election Interference So That Neither Trump or Congress Could Do Anything About It

The real election interference comes, as usual, from the treasonous Democrats' foreign communist and corrupt pals.

Just the News:

DNI Gabbard spurs probe into evidence Congress, Trump were misled on election security, memos show
The evidence continues to stack up that the U.S. intel community sought to downplay China's actions in 2020 as Trump sought reelection, perhaps at the cost of legal or ethical rules. CIA Director John Ratcliffe said that there was a "false impression that Russia sought to influence the election, but China did not."
By John Solomon and Jerry Dunleavy

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has spurred an investigation into evidence that spy agencies tried to conceal U.S. election vulnerabilities, including whistle-blower claims that a CIA officer was asked to alter evidence of China meddling and that President Donald Trump and Congress were intentionally kept in the dark about concerns involving China and Venezuela, according to unclassified memos reviewed by Just the News.
The memos indicate Gabbard's team first learned about the evidence -- much of it yet classified -- last year as part of a review conducted by her now-disbanded Director's Initiative Group (DIG) and recently referred it to the new Intelligence Community (IC) Inspector General Christopher Fox, a move that could eventually lead to the public gaining access to declassified versions of some of the evidence.
Foreign interference efforts by China were de-emphasized as far back as 2020
The wide-ranging approach taken by the FBI in response to now-debunked claims of Trump-Russia collusion in 2016 stands in stark contrast to how the U.S. intelligence community sought to bury evidence of Chinese government efforts to undermine Trump's candidacy in 2020.
The National Intelligence Council concluded in 2020 that China had hacked or gained access to several state voter registration databases, but that information was hidden from the American public, state election officials, and Congress. The new memos reviewed by Just the News cite evidence that China may have gained access to between 12 and 18 states' voter registration databases in 2020 alone, an infiltration far larger than previously acknowledged.
They also chronicle efforts to suppress the extent of China's malicious election activities despite whistle-blower complaints from Christopher Porter -- the now-former national intelligence officer for cyber -- trying to bring attention to it. Just the News recently reported that Fox, the current intel community watchdog, is reviewing Porter's whistle-blower concerns anew, including evidence of possible retaliation during the Biden years.
The ODNI is currently in possession of allegations made by one or more intelligence officers arguing that foreign interference efforts by China were de-emphasized or omitted entirely from final analytic assessments, kept out of the President's Daily Brief, or PDB, or hidden from congressional oversight, according to documents reviewed by Just the News.

These actions within the IC were taken in an alleged effort to undercut Trump's 2020 reelection campaign and resist his China-related policies, according to the memos reviewed by Just the News.
One email in the possession of ODNI allegedly states that an intelligence agency planned to massage one particular presidential briefing document meant for Trump to dodge the mention of election influence concerns despite raw intelligence reporting on the subject.
The memos also point to emails showing alleged attempts by certain CIA officials to cover up election influence efforts by China and to push a CIA analyst to change a federal record about an agency meeting where CIA officials purportedly hinted that China-related evidence was being held back to avoid helping Trump in the 2020 race.
...
It was revealed last year that a confidential human source told FBI counterintelligence in the summer of 2020 that China's communist government was seeking to meddle in the impending election in an effort to help then-candidate Joe Biden, according to a raw intelligence report distributed to federal agencies that was made public.

Shortly after 9/11 a whistle blower from the NSA came forward to say his program had identified that Atta was in the US and engaged in a terrorist operation. He further noted that his concerns were dismissed and his program was shut down.

BUT it wasn't because of his Atta finding. His program had also identified a number of American political leaders were on the Chinese payroll and THAT is what got his program shut down.

Can you imagine for one second after being "selected", Bush putting out any kind of order to begin searching Muslims or paying attention to their contacts in other countries because he had a warning? Would the Left say the warning was real or fake? Would they have been calm or exploded in a rage?

Hamill shared what appears to be an AI-generated photo on his verified BlueSky account, depicting Trump in a flower-surrounded grave, in front of a gravestone that reads, "Donald J. Trump 1946-2024," with the words "If Only" written on the photo.

That's crazy if you have a country worth defending. I'm in Canada and my government LOATHES me so obviously my price to sell out my government would be lower. Much lower.

If people were going to invade and eliminate.....never mind.

Much lower.

199 Trump's terms for addressing/discussing foreign leaders, including adversaries, is distinctive, and amusing. I wouldn't get too wound up about "my friend Xi."

In one of his best evuh, Trump not long ago referred to the corrupt cartoonishly autocratic president-for-life of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, AKA Uncle Sasha, as "the highly respected" president of Belarus. (narrator: nobody not in the hands or sights of the Belarus security services "respects" Uncle Sasha, even nationalistic Russians mock him)

Hilarious. But this was Trump's way of thanking Lukashenko for moving to resolve an issue of Americans in detention. So it was fine.

I know that it's viscerally satisfying to have executions publicly "cruel" (hanging, firing squad, gas chamber, "old sparky", burning at the stake, drawn and quartered, flayed alive, etc, etc, etc) but I view that as counterproductive.
I think that the purpose of execution is to simply remove people who don't deserve to live. Anything which impedes the efficiency of that is a problem, and political and legal obstructions are much enhanced under the cruel and unusual clause of the Constitution. Therefore, the quicker and more painless method will result in more bad guys removal.
Which is why I push for the " small sealed room and a tank.of nitrogen" method. Quick, painless, and, as an extra, cheap.

ICE Arrests Illegal Alien Child Predators Working as Staff Around Children on a Disney Cruise Ship
Plus: Seattle's Woke Wallflower Communist Mayor Exceeds Even My High Expectations for Excellence

Well, it is the Disney Groomer Corporation so I understand why they felt they were welcomed to hunt for prey on the ship.

A group of alleged child predators were arrested after they'd been working around children and families aboard a Disney cruise.
They were apprehended by the same immigration agents Democrats want to defund.
KNSD reported Wednesday that a Disney cruise docked in San Diego after a trip with stops in Ensenada, Baja California, as well as Catalina Island, where federal agents took several employees into custody.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokeswoman Sandra Grisolia released a statement about the raid:
"On April 28, HSI San Diego arrested twenty-three crewmembers from multiple cruise ships at the Port of San Diego as part of Operation Tidal Wave. The arrests targeted individuals suspected of involvement with Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM), based on information received from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children."
"The arrestees were transported to Los Angeles for processing, and their visas were revoked," the ICE spokeswoman continued.
The New York Post clarified that it's unclear which other ships from companies outside of Disney may have been involved.
Dharmi Mehta, a passenger on a Disney cruise, said that witnessing the arrests was "really unsettling."
...
Benjamin Prado from Union del Barrio stated, "This is not an isolated incident," adding, "In fact, it has become a growing pattern, not only here in San Diego but throughout this country.

In related news, two Cultural Enrichment Officers, one probably (according to the communist med) a doctor curing cancer and the other most likely an engineer who's about to create unlimited energy out of Love, savagely attacked an elderly man in Seattle, currently governed by yet another Woke Wallflower Communist Democrat.

Note that one of the Cultural Enrichment Officers was actually arrested on another assault charge that night -- and was, of course, immediately released without bail. He's now in the wind.

Oh, and he's a Somali. Which might mean he's here legally.

Both men were ID'd thanks to surveillance cameras posted in high-crime areas.

The Woke Wallflower Communist opposes these cameras because, she fears, ICE could "take control" of the cameras and use them to spot dangerous criminal illegal aliens.

Such as the Cultural Enrichment Officers who just curb-stomped a 77-year-old man for literally no reason except their demonic racism and lust to hurt people of other races.

Over the last year or so, several crows have moved into our neighborhood.

I'm pretty sure it's becuz some necromancer moved in,

or perhaps a cannibal and the crows feed on the leftovers.

51 Washington just became the first state to liquidate a public employee pension fund that largely served police and fireman. The fund wasn’t in any trouble, in fact it was funded at 160% of obligations and hadn’t required any fiscal intervention. It was on track to be 200% funded in a few years with a $4.3 billion surplus.

What it represented was a big pot of money which the legislature could steal to plug fiscal holes they created and carry out their political wish list.

No public hearing. Non fanfare. Every Democrat and the governor approved it

This is what happens when you constantly elect one party to office, especially after they’ve gone full communist.

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

We have raves here in Northern AZ. The couples are kind of cute, make interesting mating noises, and are tender with each other. I often see one or more chasing red-tail hawks away from presumably one or more of their nests.

Before we escaped Southern Califzuela, we frequently had groups of loud & obnoxious crows in the neighborhood. They'd sit on the peak of the rooftop of the home across the street continually squawking -- to the point where I started picking up and throwing rocks at them to get them to scatter and leave me in peace.

Anywho, I hope Ace is successful in befriending his because I worry that he's a loner with no friends ... like me. ;-)

The downtown area around the convention center was weird. There wasn't any poop on the sidewalks, and all of the public transit trains were clean and clear of bums.

Pike Place was the only area that had any kind of vibrancy in a circus flea market type of vibe, and you can tell that the city has dumped a ton of money into the waterfront area around there. Which, I have to say, as far as urban waterfronts are concerned, Seattle's views aren't the best.

Spot on.
Back in the days when voter turnout was 45-50% on a good day, people would moan about how poor it was, when in reality the people were generally satisfied with things. When voter turnout got to 60%, it was because something was on the ballot that annoyed them. Anything above 65% tells you the voters are pissed. The dems can hide behind jungle primaries and vote by mail, but it will eventually catch up with them, and usually in an ugle way.

203 I have a solution for cleaning up all the graffiti that besmirches freeway bridges and other public structures in Seattle. Just get drones equipped to spray white paint (other colors on demand), and use them to make huge block letters over all the graffiti: "Katie Wilson is a Stunned Cunt." City will be forced to clean it up.

On May 1st, Viviana aka “Vivi” joined our family, and our hearts instantly exploded with love. 💕

Congratulations!

I remember not long after 9/11, on a quick vacation to Catalina Island, walking around alone in the stillness late one night (insomnia) -- and looking for a station to tune into on my portable transistor radio.

I picked up one of the local L.A. talk radio show hosts (likely a rebroadcast from earlier in the day) -- Dennis Prager. A young, recently-married adult male called-in to say that -- although he and his wife wanted to have children -- he was afraid to bring a child into the world at that (traumatic for many) time.

I remember Prager's response: "Bringing a child into the world is the ultimate expression of optimism in the future."

275 Wife and I just took a repositioning cruise on a premium but not luxury line. We befriended a few crewmembers over the many sea days.

Cruise ship crews are as cliquish as a US high school, and they split along lines of departments, job functions, and national origin in addition to individual personalities.

The hotel, food and beverage, and entertainment employees are on six-month to eight-month contracts. They stick to a single line as a rule and generally stick to a single ship over their careers. This results in friendships and interpersonal conflicts that can form over many years of tours.

On the mainstream lines, the ships are all big enough to house large enough crews for problematic gangs to form. The bullshit is the same as we have on land: drugs, prostitution, gambling, and extortion.

Supposedly kickbacks and certification fraud are huge problems for crew from India just like it is in US work visa programs and offshore working arrangements.

Seattle gets earthquakes less often.

However, Mr. Ranier is a symptom of their geological risk, rather than the cause.

The Cascadia Subduction Zone is the name of the configuration where an oceanic tectonic plate is being forced UNDER the land of Washington and Oregon.

It is capable of a 9.0 magnitude earthquake.

309 When we lived in FL, an hour from Orlando on the Atlantic, we took our boys to Disney World twice. It was sort of fun but theme parks give me headaches and we'd go in the off season when kids and tourists were not there. That was it for us.

I knew some locals who had "season tickets" and did not understand it then or now. I know people in the West who love Disney. I appear to lack the magic gene.

Our musician son worked two summers in the Disney Collegiate Band, which was a great experience for him. I don't think it exists now, but kids from all of the USA competed for a spot and he met many friends he still keeps in contact with. Clinics by professional visiting musicians.

H lived in a dorm for the summer at UCF. Told us of the tunnels running under the theme parks, so I could see it being used for trafficking in the past.

I never liked Disney much once the "magic" wore off for our boys.

I'd rather die painfully, have to sit next to cabbage/pee Hillary on a Greyhound bus with no AC, or kiss Biden than go on a Disney Cruise.

Between the Disney characters and a cruise ship would do me in. Which we will never try I don't care how wonderful cruises are, and our son has tried.

A naive analysis looks at our government and assesses it as incompetent. They take in all this money and don't actually resolve any of the problems they are supposed to!

But if this was simple incompetence it would eventually get resolved, and things used to play out that way. Remember we went through a cycle of bad urban governance that changed with the likes of Rudy.

But that will not happen any more, because the goal of government is NOT to resolve the issues voters complain about, but instead to enrich the people in government and their clients.

The Morning Rant

Funny how governments obfuscate their financial decisions with high-minded platitudes about the social good and moving forward and building community. The Norwegian government decided to reopen those fields for one reason...tax receipts from the sale of that natural gas will be through the roof. And then they will be able to pay (for a little while) for the massive welfare state that has developed in the last 25 years, as the immigrant population has tripled. Yes...tripled! 6% in 2000, to 18% today.

Norway to Reopen 3 Gas Fields Shut Down in 1998

Norway has approved plans to reopen three gas fields in the North Sea that were shut down nearly three decades ago, a move the government says will support European energy security.
The Ministry of Energy said on May 5 that it has approved development plans for the Albuskjell, Vest Ekofisk, and Tommeliten Gamma fields, all located in the Ekofisk area in the southern North Sea.
The fields were discovered in the 1970s and began production between 1977 and 1988, but were closed in 1998 during a redevelopment of the Ekofisk field.
Norwegian Energy Minister Terje Aasland said the reopening showed the continuing value of Norway’s offshore assets.

Norway is positioned well in comparison to most of the rest of Europe, because they are almost entirely powered by hydro power. They use petroleum for profit, which sounds good, but they are unbelievably smug and hypocritical about going carbon-zero domestically, because they pay for it with petroleum exports!

Gas will be exported to Emden in Germany, while condensate, a light liquid hydrocarbon that is separated from natural gas, will be sent to Teesside in the UK.
Unlike Norway, Germany has moved more cautiously, backing limited domestic and cross-border gas projects, while the UK’s major new North Sea projects remain caught between energy–security arguments, court rulings, and a government net-zero policy shift away from new drilling licenses.
Germany and the UK are collaborating on net-zero goals—the total “decarbonization” of all sectors away from fossil fuels—with Germany targeting 2045 and the UK 2050.

Ah yes...the two European economies failing the fastest! Destroying domestic energy production, welcoming millions of 3rd world savages who are busily draining the government coffers while simultaneously catering to their every cultural demand does not sound like a solid basis for a 21st century economy! Germany is particularly suicidal...they had 19 functioning nuclear power plants in 2000, and today? Zero. None. At least the UK only cut nuclear power by half, not the absolutely insanity of the Germans.

But both countries are fixated on carbon-zero economies, and both countries will fail. Perhaps they can repurpose their highways and use them for solar generation? Nobody will be able to drive anyway. Or start cutting down their forests for a few years' worth of heating. That would work!

It is impossible to run a modern economy on renewables, except for a few small countries that have hydro or geothermal. The other technologies simply don't work. The sun doesn't shine very much at night, and the wind doesn't blow 24 hours a day! Plus, the destructiveness of solar and wind is the dirty little secret of the environmental lobbies. Solar is inefficient and sucks up huge amounts of land. Wind generation is also inefficient, uses a huge amount of petroleum during construction, and is famously unreliable. Then at the end of their functional lives, these installations are enormously difficult to recycle. Mostly they get dumped into land fills!

And the upshot of all of this communist/environmental nonsense is that electricity rates in Germany have almost tripled since 2000. And in the UK? Pretty much the same! But all of those Germans and Brits can feel satisfied that they are saving the earth! as they freeze in the winter and boil in the summer.

At least the Germans can enjoy their fast cars for a little while longer on those good highways of theirs...right? Except that their fuel costs between double and triple what ours costs.

It would take a heart of stone not to laugh at their predicament. They have no one to blame except themselves and their feckless leaders. In 50 years, when the UK and Germany are the poorest countries in Europe, and on the fast track to being governed by Sharia law, I wonder whether their citizenry will question their decisions, or will they continue to blame everyone else?

10 It's almost funny to see these virtue-signalling Euro's handicapping their economies with stupid Net Zero initiatives.
Meanwhile, China has over 1,200 coal fired generation plants, with hundreds more under construction and planned.

The US has around 200 such coal fired plants by comparison.

The Chinese burn coal shipped in from the US and Australia, which is carried across oceans by hundreds of ships burning fossil fuel derived energy. Such a joke.

China is allowed to continue to pump massive amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere, as under the Paris Accord they considered a "developing nation".

If it wasn't so stupid and detrimental to Western Civilization it would be to laugh.

I'm not challenging, I'm honestly curious.
Posted by: XTC at May 07, 2026 11:02 AM (FpHTM)

With almost any produce (grown thing) it is about the soil and how they are grown (how quickly.) A LOT of produce is grown in China. Their soil is shit and they have used a old soviet chemical that dramatically increases growth rate and size, but also depletes soil quickly (their already shit soil.)

So you have these massive berries or tomatoes or whatever, but they have no flavor. They are usually pale and just kind of disgusting looking. Saw it with strawberries sourced from there... fuck almost 20 years ago.

44 Note in leftwing forums they note "but they have free healthcare!"

Support for the National Health Service is virtually 100%, yet the vast majority of the population is deeply dissatisfied with it. Make it make sense.

According to a December 2024 poll, almost nobody in Britain (only 1%) supports abolishing the NHS. Despite very high dissatisfaction—with 51–59% of the public reporting they are unhappy with the service in 2024–2025—the vast majority still support a publicly funded system, with 89% wanting it to remain free at the point of use.
Desire for Radical Change: 63% of Britons want a radical overhaul, rather than getting rid of it entirely.Satisfaction Rates: As of early 2026, 26% of British adults are satisfied with the NHS, with 51% remaining dissatisfied.
Core Principle Support: 81–83% of Britons favor the NHS continuing to be funded through taxation.
Privatisation Concern: 66% of people are concerned about outsourcing the health service to private companies.

While dissatisfaction has reached historic highs, the public generally seeks reform and better funding rather than the removal of the National Health.

It's not that the can doesn't contain tomatoes, it's that they aren't San Marzano tomatoes in the sense that they're the correct varietal grown in the correct soil and manner as to have the distinctive taste people are looking for when buying San Marzanos. They are cheap, industrial-scale produced tomatoes that taste like ass.

You'd almost have to see a side by side comparison like I mentioned with the strawberries. We did one at that time. On the one hand you had the chinese strawberry which was about 3 times the size, pale, washed out looking. On the other you had a strawberry from south america. Deep red. Smaller but much firmer.

And this is not even getting into the taste differences, which were dramatic.

- refund NPR/PBS
- refund the Dep't of Education
- defund ICE and CBP
- kill the filibuster
- pack the SCOTUS
- make DC & PR states to gain 4 Senators
- make mail-in ballots, drop boxes and ballot harvesting required

Germany has a very high number of billionaires (over 150-200, depending on the source), ranking among the top countries in Europe and worldwide, while Norway has a lower absolute number (~17-26) but ranks high on a per-capita basis.

AI Models Near the Point Where They Can Build a Better Version of Themselves

"My prediction is by the end of 2028, it's more likely than not that we have an AI system where you would be able to say to it: 'Make a better version of yourself.' And it just goes off and does that completely autonomously," Jack Clark, who heads The Anthropic Institute, told Axios.

The speed with which AI systems are evolving is far outstripping our ability to gauge the impact on humans and society. Lots of good things can happen in medicine, biology, and other sciences where AI is already making a big impact. The speed and autonomy of artificial intelligence models promise an abundant future.

157 Eh, pretty much every developed economy (and many developing ones) have sub-replacement fertility. I think it's because we've simply found too many ways to amuse ourselves, other than reproduction.

In the rat utopia experiment they gave rats all the food they needed, a safe place to live, and no risk of predation.

The rats acted like gender fluid urban twinks...

Trains are an odd one. I think for the most part the people fascinated with them (like my Dad, definitely my Dad) are not really thinking of the kind of societal impact of them. It is just an obsession. (I feel it a bit for airships.) There is a romance for people there that is compelling. It is not about the practicality, but something inherent in the thing. During Thanksgiving/Christmas, my uncle will literally just put train switching station webcams on their giant TV and he and my Dad will just sit there and watch.

This. It aids in the three dimensionality of the painting. Without it, the scene would look more flat. This way, it is like you can see the painting stretching back into the middle distance.

A few years back I read a well done essay by someone who rode the train across the country. (Thank goodness the hideous ticket cost was underwritten by some journalistic benefactor.)

He said it was a completely different universe which he playfully named "Amtrakistan."

81 This is a different scene from Monet, at least in my limited exposure. I didn't know he did any cityscapes. Monet's scenes aren't especially unusual or riveting. But the techniques of pastels and their application along with his color choices is interesting. Today's selection really shows the Impressionistic style.

I didn't used to like Impressionist paintings until I saw a few in person. Being able to stand close and see the techniques then standing back to see the whole effect was eye opening.

We took the TGV a lot, and it is fantastic. But it is also financed by the government via ridiculously high taxes. And...of course...France is much denser and smaller than the USA, so trains can work. Here it's just a joke.

They have been driving me crazy for years. They sell San Marzano tomatoes and have a fake DOP seal on their can that has plausible deniability. Oh? You thought that was a DOP seal? No that's just a special logo that doesn't mean anything but looks exactly like a DOP seal. And I'll be honest the last set I got at Costco on sale in a three pack was bad even for regular tomatoes.

I was never a big fan of trains, except-

we lived within walking distance of train tracks when I was a wee tad and my friends and I would occasionally wander down there to place pennies on the track and have the train flatten them.

That was cool.

As was getting the engineer to blow his horn when passing.

On the down side- my folks told me to stay away from the tracks because hobos would occasionally hop off the trains and were dangerous to children.

And in fact we sometimes saw hobos coming away from the train track area.

They always looked pretty grotty so, I suppose the romance of riding the rails was more myth than reality.

154 More faffery on international trends of manufacturing, as viewed by anvils.

https://tinyurl.com/mu6jxdau

It starts:

Jakub Danielka
@jakub

Replying to @dfranke
You buy a British anvil. It comes from a manufacturer founded in 1743 whose Wikipedia page contains a 4,000-word section titled “Decline.” The casting is genuinely magnificent, the proportions perfected over eleven generations of wheelwrights and naval ironmongers. It arrives three weeks late with a handwritten apology referencing “industrial action at the Crewe distribution hub.” The accompanying booklet is bound in green cloth and contains a foreword by a minor royal. Halfway down page 12 you discover that the company was acquired in 2009 by a private equity firm headquartered in Luxembourg, and that the anvils are now manufactured in a facility outside Katowice. The quality is, against all odds, still excellent. There is a small brass plaque on the side which reads “By Appointment.” It does not specify to whom.

Just with the lenses alone, I replaced the lenses in 2 pairs and it cost over $400+. And I don't even have vision that's bad...no coke bottles! Just need clarity for distance when I drive or go to shows. I left there thinking what a racket.

With almost any produce (grown thing) it is about the soil and how they are grown (how quickly.) A LOT of produce is grown in China. Their soil is shit and they have used a old soviet chemical that dramatically increases growth rate and size, but also depletes soil quickly (their already shit soil.)

So you have these massive berries or tomatoes or whatever, but they have no flavor. They are usually pale and just kind of disgusting looking. Saw it with strawberries sourced from there... fuck almost 20 years ago.

The Morning Report — 5/ 7/26

Good morning kids. I recall a wise-ass riddle from my childhood that went What word starts with an "F" and ends in "-u-c-k?" The echo of childish tittering from long ago and far away fades into the abject revulsion of today:

The slip occurred when the debate segued into the destructive Palisades Fire of 2025 and reports that dozens of fire trucks were in need of repair prior to that fateful day. It was when Bass had to utter the word “trucks” that another word slipped out. “So yes, there were fire trucks that were broken, but there were also fire fucks,” Bass said before she immediately corrected herself to say “trucks that were out of use.”

No it's not the broken trucks that were the problem it was her and Gavin Newsom's politically-driven ineptitude and incompetence that caused one of the most expensive and beautiful neighborhoods in Los Angeles and America to be reduced to ashes and rubble, and more than a year later to remain a ruin and a monument to insane leftist policies. "Fire Fucks" indeed. Both of them should have been fired long ago and in a sane world should never have been within a billion light years from any position of political power. And it's not just them but the political party and movement that they are floating near the top of. Barring some unforeseen dark horse candidate Greasy Greaseball Newsom, despite being white, male and publicly non-homo, will probably be at the top of the ticket in 2028.

As a reminder, California was once the 6th largest economy in the world, and a place that for generations Americans flocked to, as a place to live the American dream. Now people with an ounce of sanity are fleeing California in droves. The Democrats are not necessarily worried about that . . .

Democrat California Gov. candidate Katie Porter inadvertently revealed the real reason leftist politicians are pushing for sanctuary cities.
Porter let the mask slip during Tuesday night’s gubernatorial debate and admitted that illegal immigration is one of “the only ways [California] has been growing in recent years,” seemingly embracing the replacement of American residents with foreigners. Notably, the deep blue state has welcomed illegals to the tune of millions while an estimated 10 million California residents have fled the state in the last decade.

And as if you weren't aware, they may be here illegally but every one of them is a registered Democrat who votes, early and often I'd bet. And for their troubles they are given welfare to the tune now of hundreds of billions of dollars, as was uncovered in Minnesota and in Ohio and surprise, surprise California.

Elsewhere this item just underscores the utter evil of Democrat/Leftism:

A Chicago alderman is calling for “corporate” criminal charges against the pharmacy chain Walgreens for its plan to close a store on the city’s troubled South Side over concerns over retail theft and violence at the drugstore. “We’re not here to beg Walgreens to stay,” Ward 6 Alderman Will Hall said at news conference, surrounded by local community members. “We are saying that their decision is the wrong decision my opinion. In my opinion, it should be considered a first-degree corporate crime. Because the amount of people that will be hurt by this, the amount of elders who will not have access to healthcare is evil.”

What's evil is causing the breakdown of the family and decriminalizing crime while blaming free market capitalism, America and our society which allowed Chicago to become a one-time flourishing megalopolis, unlike the decaying hellhole it is today thanks to vermin like this alderman and his ilk.

Well, once this Mamdani-wannabe seizes the means of production and all private property, paradise on earth will be achieved, just like in the Soviet Union. Or Cuba.

And speaking of Cuba:

During a press briefing on Cuba on Tuesday, Jayapal spoke about how, in January, President Donald Trump had signed an executive order “declaring a national emergency over the threats to America posed by Cuba.” In a post on X, Scott responded to Jayapal’s comments in which she described the sanctions against countries giving oil to Cuba, and firms and banks working with Cuba, as “an economic bombing of the infrastructure of Cuba.”
“DISTURBING: @RepJeffries and @HouseDemocrats, members of your party are OPENLY admitting to aiding a communist adversary in coordination with foreign countries to VIOLATE American sanctions,” Scott wrote. “@POTUS put those sanctions in place to keep Americans SAFE and to hold the Castro/Díaz-Canel regime accountable for their crimes.”

So, where are the arrests and prosecutions RIck Scott, and President Trump?! The world wonders...

Have a good day!

Not that I put my trust in Trump but that doesn't sound like him.

How is the closure affecting China?

Iran's assertion that they control who gets to pass through the Hormuz and how much it costs is never going to stand. Just yesterday, a F/A-18 Hornet from the USS Lincoln used it's 20mm gun to disable an Iranian ship by disabling its rudder while attempting to run the US blockade.

41 I’ve seen the usual suspects complain about “food deserts” in my old stomping grounds.

One entrepreneur started an “All In” Grocery store, and by golly it was going to he great. Serve the “community” and the rest of it. He got all kinds of grants, loans, special tax breaks. Anyone expressing financial skepticism was accused of racism. Construction lagged for about 4 or 5 years, and more skepticism.

Finally it opened to much fan fare. It didn’t last 6 months. Where’d all that money go? They had claimed to be the first grocery store in the area, which wasn’t true. They claimed the only reason there were no grocery stores was because of racism. The only color grocery stores care about is green.

The Hy-Vee store had been there maybe 10 years, but it closed after “All-In” grocery opened up, citing “performance issues”. Uh-huh. Now they have no grocery stores.

The local rag interviewed the locals and all the usual bullshit allegations ensued. Nobody can even mention just exactly why these establishments can’t make a profit. Weird, huh? Stupid bastards.

44 31 The Iranian people have no internet but they have radios and televisions. I don't know how successful it was but the AF had a project in the Stan called Commando Solo. This was a C130 set up as a flying broadcast station. Radios were even airdropped to remote (90% of the shithole) parts of the country. With the amount of naval assets in the Gulf area one could essentially set up a pirate radio station aboard a ship and have means to defeat any Iranian jamming.

And as I said yesterday, wars are unpredictable, and you don't always get what you want the way you want it or at all...especially if you start by hamstringing yourself.

I still think Trump initially got convinced that the winter uprisings combined with the decapitation strike and initial defense destruction would flip the country favorably to us. It did not. Now, he's trying to figure out how to extracate with the most gains for us (which right now, seems to be the furthest kick down the road).

He doesn't want to be the starter of the next Vietnam or Afgjanistan or even Iraq 2...the perpetual war that saps the morale of everyone, drains our budgets, and never gets really won. At least in our favor.

Iranian figures are putting out statements publicly mocking and laughing at the US for the collapse of the plan to escort ships through the straits. The Saudis and the UAE are furious that the US is refusing for now to retaliate for any missiles fired at their countries, to the point that the Saudis have now threatened to refuse to allow the US to use Saudi bases to support the operation.

Last Thursday night, it is reported that Hegseth and others recommended a much stronger response, and that Trump turned them down.

Trump appears to be listening to advisors who say high oil prices are damaging his political standing, and that he should just find a way to claim victory and leave, allowing the Iranian regime to maintain full control. The Iranians are now openly expecting this.

86 During a press briefing on Cuba on Tuesday, Jayapal spoke about how, in January, President Donald Trump had signed an executive order “declaring a national emergency over the threats to America posed by Cuba.” In a post on X, Scott responded to Jayapal’s comments in which she described the sanctions against countries giving oil to Cuba, and firms and banks working with Cuba, as “an economic bombing of the infrastructure of Cuba.”
“DISTURBING: @RepJeffries and @HouseDemocrats, members of your party are OPENLY admitting to aiding a communist adversary in coordination with foreign countries to VIOLATE American sanctions,” Scott wrote. “@POTUS put those sanctions in place to keep Americans SAFE and to hold the Castro/Díaz-Canel regime accountable for their crimes.”

101 WSJ is big mad that Trump got involved in the Indiana primaries. They believe he ousted good republicans for the faulty idea that new districts in the state will be run by republicans. The claim is that Indiana went 59% for Trump, and he’s looking to make it a 9-0 republican house seat state- which they say (and the former representatives say) won’t happen. The argument is it will dilute the Republican vote, and with the coming democrat wave in the midterms is going to eventually cost republicans seats. They add that Republicans lost another special election in the Michigan senate yesterday, further swinging the state left which is now a national trend.

The New Yorker interview with Obama, published Monday, shared how their marriage was affected by Barack’s continual involvement in politics. The former president pointed to President Donald Trump as the reason for his involvement.

“She wants to see her husband easing up and spending more time with her, enjoying what remains of our lives,” Obama said, adding that the pressure remains to be politically active against the Trump administration, despite the precedent of past presidents retiring out of politics altogether. “It does create a genuine tension in our household, and it frustrates her.”

Election Fraud has obviated this. Votes no longer seem to matter. There is an ebb and flow to politics and the parties, but the Democrats have been very focused on One Party Rule for 25 years now, they have decided to short circuit the whole process. That’s my take on it anyway.

They certainly don’t seem inclined to moderate or tack to the center or compromise, they won’t acknowledge the electorate overwhelmingly rejects their policies. Nothing else makes sense. Even Biden stated publicly “I don’t need your vote!”; why would he say that? Well, he also said “we have the most inclusive voting fraud system” or something along those lines. A gaffe, maybe.

The outcome is not fixed yet. But what bothers me so much is that Trump’s red lines are looking more like pink chalk on wet sand.

195 You finish what you start.

There are several hallmarks of the failed war strategy we’ve experienced since 9-11. First and foremost is the lack of a battle plan with stable mission objectives that dictated the end of conflict. We stayed in Iraq and Afghanistan because the those mission objectives, set by civilian leadership, constantly shifted with the political winds. That wasn’t a military failure. It was a leadership failure. I’ve often made the point we won Afghanistan in a few months with roughly two ODA’s and a bunch of NA insurgent fighters. That’s exhibit one.

Ultimately we failed to execute a battle plan that properly applied the maximum force needed to meet the objectives quickly and decisively. War is ugly. People die. A lot of shit gets broken. The question becomes what is your capacity for sacrifice versus what you will gain based on your objectives.

A battle plan is not immutable. It may shift to take advantage of events in the battle space. However the mission objectives should always stay the same. If they do not, you are constantly moving the ball and forcing battlefield adaptations that were not planned for. That heightens risk.
You choose where we are now.

204 A clarification to Ted Turner's "accomplishments:" CNN was not his original concept. The idea of a fourth network was pioneered by former ABC Radio network president Bob Pauley, its first iteration in1968. He secured funding in 1973 for a "fair and balanced" news network (his original coinage, not Fox's). His TVN (Television News Network) was financed by conservative Joe Coors of Coors Brewery. TVN provided original footage and feeds to stations dissatisfied with the Big Three. It was gaining ground when Coors, facing unrelated tax problems, pulled funding. TVN executives Roger Ailes and Reese Schonfeld (both of whom Pauley had hired) went on, respectively, to develop Fox and Turner's CNN. Turner certainly deserves credit for building CNN into the goliath it became, but the conceptual path had been carved and the model created.

What this means, in plain English, is that 3 days ago Iran attacked the UAE with missiles and drones. The UAE expected the US to retaliate, but instead the US told them “well we’re trying to make a deal, so just pretend like it didn’t happen.”

The Saudis and presumably the UAE, who have been our biggest regional supporters, are saying “well if that’s the new deal, then we’re out.”
And Iran knows this and is laughing at the weakness we’re showing now.

A leftwing terrorist spun up by the FNM
Incompetent DEI officials not provisioning water
Incompetent fire fighters not actually putting out the fire when it was small

This should turn LA red if blue voters actually paid attention and didn't just vote the way the FNM told them. Even if you disagree politically with the other side you need to replace every city leader just to teach them a lesson.

Amazon bought the Bond franchise and a rumor is that the next film will be a extended "Property of a Lady" short story by Ian Fleming.

Since Britain no longer exists, setting it in 1962 would make it more believable, but LBTQMMSMF++ would squeal about a period piece, unless Rachel Zegler gets cast as Bond.

238 The IRGC has been targeting other Gulf State's oil refineries and shipping terminals as reprisal for helping the US. They hit the UAE pretty hard a couple days ago, crippling one of their terminals. The Saudis have always been skittish about letting the US base warplanes in their country. Fickle little shits that they are.

The protection plan in place by the US has ships transit the Hormuz in an area deemed safe, close to Oman. Several cruise ships used this route weeks ago on a mass "break out" of the Persian Gulf where they'd been trapped.

As I've been saying; commercial shippers have a say on whether the Hormuz is safe or not. Crews have to be willing to run a ship in this area and not get shot at. Insurers have to be content with The Plan™ as well.

There's more than enough American firepower in the region go bring Iran to its knees. At great cost to both them, and us. We're not there yet. Maybe soon. Maybe never.

Trump promised both the UAE and the Saudis that the US would retaliate militarily if the Iranians attached their facility. Theee days ago, we reneged on that promise.

As far ass I can tell, she fits the new fymynyst icon of the Angry Young Woman (for reference see Angry Young Man circa 1950s Britain) who is sullen and sour and displeased with everything around her.

She's not a good actress. Her voice is bland. She isminimally attractive. so-

A starlet who makes very average women feel good about themselves. One who doesn't make them feel bad about themselves because she's so average?

290 Pressure - with Brendan Fraser as Dwight D. Eisenhower

In the seventy two hours leading up to D-Day, all the pieces are in place except for one key element--the British weather. Britain's chief meteorological officer James Stagg (Scott) is called upon to deliver the most consequential forecast in history, locking him into a tense standoff with the entire Allied leadership. The wrong conditions could devastate the largest ever seaborne invasion, while any delay risks German intelligence catching on. With only his trusted aide Captain Kay Summersby to confide in, and haunted by a catastrophic D-Day rehearsal, the final decision rests with Supreme Allied Commander Dwight D. Eisenhower. With only hours to go, the fate of the war and the lives of millions hang in the balance.

What he did is demonstrable. He took what was almost a post-racial America, proven ironically by his election, and turned people against each other. He weaponized the government against the very people who elected him. He further used the government and its resources to undermine the opposition political candidate. He perpetrated that fraud knowingly and with evil intent. He was the first to weaponize the justice system against his political enemies with the person driving the charge.

He knows it. We all know it now. It’s there for everyone to see. Whatever influence he had has been tainted and revealed as both biased and corrupt by the span of time.

He's voiced The Joker in the Batman video games, and apparently, it's very good. Seems he's absorbed a little too much of that character. . .

390 Good morning, all, and thanks, J.J. and also for the excellent links.

California is an enigma; status as a global economic powerhouse and a place with extreme, worsening social issues, such as high poverty, immense income disparity, and severe housing costs.

Believe Newsome, Bass, etc., were never going to rush rebuilding areas of the Palisades Fire (Palisades & in Malibu) where many of the residents were 'middle class,' underinsured, and will never be able to rebuild even like-for-like residences to live in for any length of time. And of course the wealthy residents, Billionaire's Beach and similar areas, have - at least temporarily - moved to safer locations and/or have sold their devastated properties to investors.

Guaranteed, unless there are more than one political miracles in Cali, it will be the Federal government's/Trump's fault for not providing bottomless financial aid and assistance.

For the 'darker side,' read the concerns about the destruction of farm land, impact on water resources, increased traffic, & the potential displacement of farm workers.

Also, the potential for data centers in & around utopia have just entered the battle: CBS News Sacramento, May 6, 2026, 'California Forever, Suisun City push back against claims of building giant data centers'

So once it's real, it'll be its own little Eden, planned and built from scratch, governed by its own little civil society, larger & certainly fancier but much more controlled than a 15-minute city created in an urbanized area such as Charles Village in Baltimore, MD.

New Xbox CEO Asha Sharma came from the company's AI division, leading to unease among gamers. She just cancelled Copilot on Xbox and mobile. (The Verge)

The only way to win is not to play, but you can minimise your losses by taking them out behind the barn and shooting them.
Apple has dragged Apple Intelligence behind the barn as well. (The Verge)

It will settle a class action lawsuit for $250 million. Yes, with an M, which is very small potatoes compared to pushing ahead with AI development.

Speaking of which, SpaceX plans to spend up to $55 billion initially and $119 billion over time to build its new chip fab in Texas. (Tom's Hardware)

Elon, build a memory factory alongside the logic fab and the world will beat a path to your door.
And on the Apple end of the scale, companies including Palantir have invested a total of $200 million to build datacenters in the ocean. (Ars Technica)

This solves the cooling problem but rather opens up the shark problem.
The first draft of the spec for PCIe 8.0 has been announced, with ratification expected in 2028. (Tom's Hardware)

A single lane of PCIe 8.0 is twice as fast as a full x16 slot of PCIe 3.0, and it should be backwards compatible.

PCIe 6.0 support is very limited even in the enterprise space, so we'll be waiting a while for 8.0 to land on our desktops.
If you want a Mac Studio you'll be waiting six weeks to forever depending on the configuration. (Toms' Hardware)

The 256GB and 128GB models have followed the largest 512GB model into the overpriced dustbin of history - remember, we're talking RAM sizes here, not storage - and even the basic 64GB model will take six weeks to deliver.

No biggie. Now here's the funny part. One of the options he brought up was trimming the damaged meniscus. I get home a few hours later and get an email from a guy that I know from the dojo talking about how that surgery is not helpful and in fact could make things worse.

I may have to look more closely at this man to see if he's AI or not.

21 Had such a lovely day yesterday. Went with FenSpouse to get his physical for riding the bus. Stopped on the way at a wonderful fudge and candy shop. There was a little decal on the back of ones of the cars ( I think one of the employees worked there) with a picture of a church and a cross on it. Such nice employees. One woman was talking to a customer about the church she attends and the customer shared that she taught CCD at her church.

Then the receptionist at the doctor's office smiled at me and waved when I went in ,even though I had never met this woman before. Her name was Carol. She told me she is 84. She looks 20 years younger and I thought being so kind and friendly kept her younger.

Before we went home we stopped at Chik- Fil-A
This may not be a big deal 😉 but we had a gift card from some of the kids parents from the bus. That Chik- Fil-A had flowers and balloons on the table.

It reminds me of a webcomic a few years back where the main character was dealing with his teenaged sister in law's anger at God because of her best friend committing suicide.

I read an article a few months to a year ago about some guys who were trying to install generators and small data and computational setups at oil wells which flared the natural gas rather then trying to capture it. The idea was that the “free” power would offset the cost and potential latency issues from lack of scale. I haven’t seen more about it so I’m not sure it’s working.

74 I read that Enya chose not to marry believing that someone might marry her for her money. Yes, her sister did pass away in April, formerly a member of the musical group Clannad. Sounds like her family was very talented musically, even her parents.

This solves the cooling problem but rather opens up the shark problem."

I'm surprised they don't use the Great Lakes for this. Put your intake pipes at depth and you'll pull sub 50 degree water in August on Lake Superior. Also, very few sharks once you get past Niagara Falls.

80 Speaking of data centers in the ocean, a company called "Panthalassa" just raised $140 million to build large buoys that double as data centers.

Peter Thiel led the round, valuing the Pacific Northwest climate tech startup at nearly $1B.
Panthalassa pairs giant ocean buoys with onboard AI computing, sending data via low-Earth-orbit satellites.
Funds will finish a pilot manufacturing facility near Portland, with Ocean-3 commercial deployments planned by 2027.

But it's stuck in my craw for a quarter century that "Only Time" became the song everyone used for 9/11 tributes.

First of all, as talented she is, she isn't American.

More importantly, it's completely wrong for the context. It should have been "Mouth For War," but we were already a pussy country by then.

94 The Microsoft / Xbox thing is kind of big. Microsoft has a habit of getting a new manager, inserting a rocket dildo into his or her rear orifices, lighting it, and then zooming off in a direction. Then the next manager pulls it out, stomps on it, then gets a fresh new rocket, aims in a different direction, and then lights it up. Rinse, repeat.

In this case, it's heralding the end of "AI IN ALL THE THINGS!". In the Xbox situation, the previous rocketman wanted a help screen that would pop up help depending on where you were in the game. Maybe a neat feature for those that want it (and don't... yanno, have a f@$%ing phone glued to them already). But all the extra hooks and processing and network usage it'll use in the background (because it WILL be there), and the constant "Disable This" being forgotten every time MS updates a thing, meant it'd be a bloated feature that would slow down the console.

So, a good thing happened.

Conversely, Evil Google is r@ping your limited storage space with a 4 GB file it shadowdrops, for AI purposes. And keeps shadowdropping. Woe if you're on a metered connection.

Wednesday Night ONT - May 6, 2026 [TRex]

Good evening Horde. The time has come for mid-week shenanigans. The bar is open.

Welcome to the Wednesday night ONT which means another edition of random overnight fun and games. Pull up a chair and sit a spell. Good will offerings of amusing puns are happily accepted. Pants are optional. Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors. This is a Tucker, Candace and Megyn free zone. Please.

Will you be smarter after reading this ONT? Will you be better looking? Will you be more fun at parties? Will you lose weight? Will you be wealthier? Will you be more fashionable? If you skip the content, you'll never know!

The collapse of teen fertility in the digital era

Teen fertility collapsed globally starting around 2007. This affected countries across the income and policy spectrum. This paper argues that smartphones changed how teens spend time with each other, and that this change in turn drove the collapse in teen fertility. Once enough teens are on the phone, being on the phone is where the peer network is; in-person time falls sharply, and with it the unstructured contact in which most unintended teen conceptions occur.
The model predicts that the shift towards the phone-mediated equilibrium affects multiple aspects of teen behavior. The same instrument that produces a collapse in teen fertility produces a surge in teen suicides.

Yikes. Isn't there a happy medium somewhere?

As I was complaining about, NASA released 12K+ high res photos from the Artemis mission, and just unceremoniously dumped them with no organization or much rhyme or reason at all. Some people put together this wrapper site to put the photos in a chronological order at least:

I did a writeup on it a few years ago, and I own it on DVD. The John Barry soundtrack is superb, and the sequence where the Cygnus fires up its engines is one of the best moments in sci fi.

Starting in the 80s, pop culture began to disparage and ridicule virginity. It went from being a virtue to carrying a stigma.

The term "incel" is the final form of this Satanic invocation. It posits that the worst thing in the world to is lust and be incapable of acting upon it.

Ironically, the people who seem to invoke it the most are usually dedicated Onanists.

Publius - the Apollo crews were scheduled by Donald “Deke” Slayton, head of the astronaut office. I’m sure you know the basic rotation scheme he had set down. But it sure got screwed around a lot, and swapped around, as personnel got killed, injuries, mission changes etc. What I’m getting at, the crews that were assigned weren’t too sure who would get what mission, it was all very tentative and subject to change, so I’m not sure it’s possible to even say Armstrong was specifically “picked” to be the first lunar commander based on his Mad Skilz. It’s just the way it all shook out after years of shuffles, sometimes due to tragic events like Charlie Bassett and Elliot See auguring in, etc. The truth is, I think, any of the crews could have accomplished any of the missions. It was certainly a team effort par excellance with all those guys in mission control and basically every contractor and subcontractor on call for support. MIT and IBM and a gazillion others.

I'm not sure how accurate it is. I-95 in south Florida was not complete until the 1980's.There was a gap between WPB and Boca Raton until the 1970's and the portion between WPB and Fort Pierce wasn't completed until the late 1980's or 1990's. Even today, the portion between WPB and Fort Pierce veers sharply inland due to some agreement dating back to the 1950's that no competing road would be built east of the turnpike.

181 Ted Turner spoke at my college once. This was late 80's when he was colorizing all those black and white movies. Some whiny student went up during the Q&A and asked him 'how dare you'? Ted said that first of all, they only colorize a copy of the film, not the original. "Second, there's this little know on your TV that you can use to adjust I to black and white. The kid looked and surely felt like a complete idiot.

At another point Turner tried to deflect some quip by saying "Hey, I ain't Ivan Boesky." Unfortunately, Boesky's daughter went to my school. She stormed out of the auditorium.

I got interested and looked this up, and that's true.

However, apparently the native pronunciation always had something like the "An" before, and it was the French who dropped it, and called it Tananarive. So back then, they were using the French pronunciation.

Waaaay back in the 1980 period I was in a cover band that did a shit ton pf priest songs. We had our suspicions back then, we were pretty damn sure bob was a flamer. The way he dressed was a bit of a clue, but yeah the lyrics on some tunes had our scratching our head. Then, around 1982 I got a chance to meet the band. I had 2 smoking hot chicks with me and a slightly younger dude that was friends with one of the chicks. They were doing 2 shows in the general area, so we all went to the second show and met them again a few days, maybe a week later. Rob remembered the dude's name, almost greeted him like a long lost friend. I had the same 2 smoking chicks with me....nothing. 1 was a tall blonde with superior melons...nothing. Ooookaayyyy then, no need to wonder any more.

Reuters quoted sources who said the memo seemingly abandoned some demands the Trump administration has made in the past, such as “curbs on Iran’s missile program and an end to its support for proxy militias in the Middle East.” It also did not mention Iran’s missing stockpile of some 900 pounds of near-weapons-grade uranium, which the administration has previously said Iran must surrender in order to end the war.

248 Press release from CENTCOM.mil

U.S. forces operating in the Gulf of Oman enforced blockade measures by disabling an Iranian-flagged unladen oil tanker attempting to sail toward an Iranian port at 9 a.m. ET, May 6.

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces observed M/T Hasna as it transited international waters enroute to an Iranian port on the Gulf of Oman. American forces issued multiple warnings and informed the Iranian-flagged vessel it was in violation of the U.S. blockade.

After Hasna’s crew failed to comply with repeated warnings, U.S. forces disabled the tanker’s rudder by firing several rounds from the 20mm cannon gun of a U.S. Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet launched from USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72). Hasna is no longer transiting to Iran.

The U.S. blockade against ships attempting to enter or depart Iranian ports remains in full effect. CENTCOM forces continue to act deliberately and professionally to ensure compliance.

258 Today (the 6th) was Tony Scalzo's 62nd birthday. Lead singer, songwriter, and bassist for Fastball, they are best known for the melancholy 1998 hit "The Way," but they're still together and making new music. Here's a nice, high-quality version of the one that ended their side jobs:

Fastball - The Way (SUPERSCALED TO 4K) (25th Anniversary)
https://youtu.be/qV3ntUUaRRA

Fast-forward to June of 2024, and the video for "Rather Be Me Than You" shows them "comfortable in their own skins" in a way that when we're younger, we hope that's how we'll grow older, but not everyone achieves. I think they're basically dissing their anon critics: yes, we might play smaller venues, but we're working where you're a gigless problem customer getting kicked out.

The portable dishwasher alarms me. The bathroom alarms me as they don't show but the top of the shower. If the generator failed who do you call and when do they arrive to fix it? Electrolysis for the water pump...hair removal? Wut?

I was seasick once on a boat (only time motion sickness) in a really bad storm on the Gulf of Mexico and that open porthole looks alarming...are there snakes in the Bay? Plus there is no pool or mountain view.Is there cable and Internet service? Why don't they show all the rooms? Did someone die there?

I could last maybe a weekend if the guy I was with made it worth my time, he knew what to do for all emergencies with an epipen or two and guns,a Navy SEAL, and had a boat tied to this lighthouse that may be haunted by ghosts trying to get to land or find a mate or a cheeseburger with curly fries.

*************
We've been together 49yrs, married 47yrs and still like each other a lot! We have the mentality of our grandchildren and the aches at night of our age. Worth the ride! No complaints. I have it all.

He had a complaint tonight (rare) that the pasta sauce was too salty and he asked about the broth amt. It is possible I screwed up. He then said for dessert we should have the gorgeous lemon meringue pie that would strip enamel from your teeth that I made one Easter when our sons were small.Therefore, 2 complaints of my cooking (so far) in our marriage.

He asked tonight if my plan is to suddenly cook crappy so I won't have to ever again (he gave me an idea!). He's a good cook so we'd survive.

The lemon pie mistake was using 2 huge Meyer lemons vs normal lemons from our FL neighbor and not considering the lips curling back response. We all cracked up. It was perfect to behold til the first bite.

292 Need to go to bed and try to sleep. I observed our 8mo old granddaughter yesterday thrash around in her little pack and play before she conked out. Similar to how I drift off at times but not as cute.

She saw her stuffed lamb at the bottom of her bed and used her feet to bring it to her hands. I think she's very smart as well as pretty.

It was a perfect day til she threw up all over me before we got her home. A virus she saved especially for me. As a nurse I felt badly for her and not fazed, cleaned up, thought all would be well. Then boom again 45min later before we got in the car. Then this little darlin scared me a bit as in 2hrs she was dry heaving every 15min til the doc told DIL the amt of Zofran and 1.5ml pedialyte that stopped it and she was normal again.Son out of town as he travels for job. I was close to insisting on an ED visit when the Zofran worked its magic in 15min. Sons were not infants with their virst virus and older. She broke my heart with her little head on my shoulder and was so still vs her normal self (I was wearing a towel during all of this). Thankfully she got better as quickly as it came.

We felt achy tonight but so far have not harfed on each other.

310 Okay, last one. Today, Mark Bryan of Hootie & The Blowfish turned 59. He is their lead guitarist, but after re-watching a few music videos, I would describe him as an anti-diva. He's no technical virtuoso, nor a fast shredder; even though he has a little guitar solo every song, he just makes a pleasant interlude riffing off the melody, building interest for when it resumes. In the meantime, he's locked into the mix, no ego, making it all greater than the sum of its parts.

Technically, lead singer Darius Rucker is the rhythm guitarist, with an acoustic; but Mark kind of has the personality of one, and it works for their style of slow rock. So, the closest I could find for a showcase for him was this one, where Darius is marble-mouthed and you can't understand the lyrics anyway, so you might as well pick out the different instruments:

I remember some of the arguments years ago that there had to be a second one, because egyptians never just built one if they were using them as a gateway. There was always a pair. Thats assuming the egyptians built the sphinx to start with, because there is a shit ton of proof that its waaaay older. It has water erosion, and there hasn't been that kind of water there for over 10,000 years. Another argument is the head is too small, that it was most likely a lion originally, and it got carved down to a human head. Who knows.

Roman has a much wider field of view than Hubble. It's something like in one year Roman can survey what would take 100 years with Hubble.

Roman has two main missions. One is a large scale survey of the structure of observable universe. There are problems showing up with the current cosmological models, and Roman will confirm or refute them. This is things like the Hubble tension, and the "S8 tension".

The second one is a YUGE exoplanet hunt using gravitational microlensing. It will be able to detect exomoons (if they are massive enough and far enough away from their primary planet). They figure they will find 100K more exoplanets when it's done.

When paleo astronomers used computer programs to see what the sky looked like in 10,500 BC it turns out the sphinx was looking at the constellation Leo as it came up from the horizon. Its almost if the damn thing is a time capsule. I sometimes wonder if the entire egyptian thing was stolen from a far more ancient civilization. I read some great theories that the pyramids of Giza are the originals and every other one is a copy. There was never anything like them before or after. One of the details was that only the great pyramid has a grand gallery and king and queen's chamber, and that wasn't known until around 700AD when they were finally breached. The descending passage was known in ancient times, and all the "copies" have it because it was only passage they had access to to copy. They didn't know about the others, so no other pyramid has them. Crazy shit.

And another wild thing is the amount of data Roman is going to spew. Over 1.4 TB of data per day. The deep sky survey will top out at 20 PB in 5 years, and the exoplanet survey will add another 10 PB to that.

They had to come up with much higher bandwidth comms for this, not to mention an infrastructure to distribute and work will all that. Data rate will be 500 Mb/s. And that's from the L2 point.

Indeed. I've read a lot of that over the years (and forgotten a lot of it, too). That magic date of 10, 500 BC, give or take. The Younger-Dryas.

There are other alignments too that all go back to that magic date, I forget. It's also claimed the slightly off-center alignment of the three pyramids corresponds to Orion's belt stars. Orion = Osiris. Was 10,500 BC the end of "Zep Tepi", the First Time, when the gods walked and ruled the earth....

The Younger-Dryas is amazing. Just what the hell happened there is something, but it was Biblical level catastrophism. Meltwater pulses before and after like you wouldn't believe ravaging. The megafauna extinction in North America. The ice sheets melted so fast, it's unbelievable (where did the energy to do it that fast come from?).

And, how about this. Plato's account of Atlantis puts the destruction right around 11,600BC or so, corresponding to meltwater pulse 1B. But that's all crazy talk, woo-woo nonsense. Atlantis is just nonsense, of course...

yeah, well somebody back then had serious technology. When they were doing some work around Tiwanaku they found that a lot of the giant blocks were held together by having a dog bone shaped dovetail carved across the joints of the blocks and then had molten steel poured into the recess to form a clamp. They found the same technique in ancient egypt half a world away. The one in S America looked like a dog bone, the ones in egypt was shaped like a bow tie, but the purpose was the same.

There is a German tale of the old farmer woman who decided to graze her old milk cow on the turf roof of her hut, but afraid that the poor old cow would wander to far and fall off the roof, she determined she would tie the tether rope around her wrist by way of running it down the chimney, so she could control the cow that way, and do her housework inside at the same time.
Of course the cow fell off the roof while she was working near the fire, and so doing yanked the poor farmer woman up the chimney where she most likely suffocated.

As in all German humorous tales, that was the knee slapping part.

Never been to Pakistan. I have been to India, which is Pakistan without the edge IMO. I would only visit Pakistan purposefully if I developed an incurable deadly disease and decided I was going to do one final good deed that included one of those sporty Muslim vests, and a room full of Tehrik-e Taliban.

134 I saw some people in the prior thread discussing how the coming election year violence will turn off voters and help Republicans... that's not how any of this works.

The reason Democrats roll out Mayhem Summers like clockwork is that it's effective. There is a tacit understanding in America - that Democrats can stop the mayhem and Republicans cannot. Everyone knows that Dems control the blood spigot, and Republicans are are powerless to turn it off, let alone on.

So, on it goes, and if voters want it turned off, they know what they have to do. Lawless violence is one of their best tools. It puts votes in their column, not the other way around.

7,000 square feet, 180-degree ocean view, just remodeled the kitchen for $250,000, needed something to tool around in when they come to town so they augmented the Bentley with a $450,000 Porsche, they barely ever visit but keep the place impeccably maintained all the time (lawn mowed every day), etc. I told him to ask if they need a house-sitter... or at least a tenant in some knob of the house.

No one local would touch them. So last week I sent them to a cobbler in Austin along with an unbelievable amount of money. They are apparently the experts at this so I'll report back in a week or so when they come back.

It was hard reconciling the cost, no one wears boots anymore, no where as much as in the 80s when it was kind of the fashion out west. They should be pretty nice looking though when they're done.

I guess from here it's a Stetson, line dancing, pissing in a trough, and passing out on random friend's back porch. Or I could be content with just the wearing boots part.

I stumbled on a video about that last week. He's suffering from severe akathisia, which is absolute hell on earth. It's restlessness with an uncontrollable compulsion to move, coupled with severe anxiety. Your fight or flight is ramped up to the red line. Imagine a constant panic attack state.

They're blaming benzos for it. He was on those long term, and had to withdraw, which is bad enough, but it was quite neurotoxic to him, which they apparently are in small fraction of the population.

He was essentially hooked on them, yet they were killing him, so he had to get off. He thought he had kicked it, but the akathisia came back.

I'm guessing Iran signaled some kind of openness to a deal.

My view of this is that Trump thought we could kick the shit out of Iran, and the populace would rise up and overthrow the regime. That (unsurprisingly) did not materialize, and now we need a way out of this. So it's just a chaotic dance of threats and negotiations until we can get some piece of paper signed, by someone.

Trump has completely destroyed the conventional wisdom. Defied expert predictions for years on end, yet even his allies think it's all a fluke, just luck or something.

But maybe the Ranting Buffoon thing is just an act, a WWE persona that he uses to cause people to underestimate him.

I have seen zero evidence that this operation was not planned with profound forethought and flexibility. Iran has been crushed in a world-historical fashion, yet people keep insisting - without evidence, as the cool kids say - that somehow the Iranians are the eevil geniuses that have crashed their economy, wrecked their military, and their oil wells are about to piss out.

Okay, whatever.

Yeah, we've won this thing, and won it weeks ago. It's just a matter of diplomatic folderol and strongarming now. Those who wanted some wonderful outcome with regime change and all kinds of other goodies will be disappointed, and those who wanted Iran to beat us already are.

Nobody will be happy except a few like me, who want this wrapped up.

Everything is still poised on station, Iran is financially dead in the water, all the neighbors want them dead, and they get to chose between shutting down pumping or just pouring the oil onto the ground like some massive sin of Onan.

He's been all over the world undergoing what might charitably be called "alternative therapy" (crackpot quackery not-so-charitably). He went into some Moscow facility where they put him in an induced coma to ride out cold turkey withdrawal. Then after that, he went to Serbia for more. And then a bunch more of this "alternative stuff".

Suicide is quite common with akathisia -- it's hell on earth. So, on the one hand you can't blame him and his family for trying anything, yet all the "alternative" stuff could've messed him up more than it helped. Who knows.

Here's the thing: Iran's government can still fall. I think that's the part everyone is missing. Trump doesn't need to overthrow them, just defang them. He's done that. And he's gang-raping China's economy. UAE gets it. It's a new world order, but in a good way.

So make a deal, let oil prices start to fall as summer driving season starts, but the Mullahs are still hated, and weaker than ever. Let Mossad do their thing.

Yeah, that's the other part. Maybe we're outsourcing work to Israel rather than vice-versa. Kinda wrecks the whole "Joos run everything" concept.

Peterson's wife did experience a miraculous cure. She is the current world-record holder for surviving her form of cancer. She prayed the Rosary every day with a friend and subsequently entered the Catholic Church.

Peterson refuses to do so. I've seen the interviews where he discusses it, where he admits God is real, the miracle was real, but he just won't convert. Maybe God is putting him to the test.

Cowboys, ranchers, well people of all kinds. Cowboys were especially good customers. They had their boots broke in and would rather have them fixed than break in a new pair. Our town had a Rodeo that is still there and bigger than ever. Folks are very particular about their boots. No telling how much the old guy raked in. He was a character.

Will Fetterman Flip?

Will Lumpy Jack finally assume full control over the body?

Lumpy Jack is blasting Democrats for supporting "Hamas/Hezballah shitheads."

Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., described protesters who demonstrated in New York City on Tuesday as "Pro-Hezbollah / Hamas s[---]heads," and indicated that the Democratic Party should speak out against them.
"Mob of Pro-Hezbollah / Hamas s[---]heads raging against law enforcement and terrorizing the NYC Jewish community near a synagogue and day care," Fetterman wrote in a Wednesday post on X.
"Where's my party's condemnation?"

Fetterman made the comments when sharing a post on X that featured video footage in which people could be heard engaging in what sounded like an anti-Zionist chant.

By the way, I wanted to link Fetterman saying "I can't see continuing as a Democrat" and "the party has lost their way" but I could not find video of Lumpy Jack actually saying that and that's because he didn't say it. Those quotes are from a parody site called "Nothing on this Site is Real."

Just wanted to give you a heads up about that fake news.

But it still is possible that he'll become an independent. The party is determined to purge him.

And the GOP is trying to flip him.

If Fetterman does flip, according to officials who were given anonymity to talk about sensitive matters, it will be thanks in large part to his deepening friendship with a pair of senators and their high-profile spouses: Sen. Dave McCormick (R-Pa.), and his wife Dina, and Sen. Katie Britt (R-Ala.), and her husband, Wesley.
But the first-term Democrat -- who's infuriated his party with his harder line on immigration and staunch support for Israel, Trump nominees, government funding bills and most recently the president's ballroom -- isn't yet persuaded.
"I'm not changing," Fetterman told me in an interview Friday when I asked if he was ruling out both becoming a Republican or turning independent. "I'm a Democrat, and I'm staying one. "
Yet, at least in private, he's not totally rejecting dropping his "D."
When one senior Republican recently brought up the idea of becoming an independent to Fetterman, he absorbed the suggestion and didn't embrace or reject the overture, according to a GOP official familiar with the conversation.
In our interview, Fetterman said bluntly: "I'd be a shitty Republican."
There are his votes against big-ticket measures, such as last year's so-called One Big Beautiful Bill, but also his liberal views on a raft of cultural issues.
...
Fetterman has raised these same doubts about how welcome he'd be as a Republican to his GOP colleagues, too, I'm told by sources briefed on the conversations.
If Republicans can't tolerate even Tillis, Fetterman suggested, how would they accept somebody who supports abortion rights, gay rights, legalizing marijuana and is pro-labor? (He flies the pride flag outside his Senate office.) Senate Republicans have reminded the Pennsylvanian that there are members of their conference who are more moderate on each of those issues.
Trump, who knows a thing or two about party switching, has also gotten in on the action. He's told one GOP senator he prefers Fetterman making the full conversion to Republican, according to a source familiar with the conversation.
And Trump has said, if Fetterman does, he'd reciprocate. In his typical unsubtle fashion, the president conveyed as much to Sean Hannity in March and asked Hannity to play intermediary.

Fetterman's announced 2028 Democrat primary opponent is leaving death threats for his thirteen year old daughter.

Ben Hart
@BenHart_Freedom
BREAKING 🚨: Here's one reason John Fetterman is giving serious consideration to becoming a Republican.
A Democrat named Raymond Eugene Chandler III, who was planning to run against Fetterman in the Senate primary for 2028, was arrested by the FBI on May 1 for leaving multiple voicemails with death threats and graphic obscene messages on the voice mail of Fetterman's 13-year-old daughter.
Chandler also threatened to kill President Trump.
Chandler had declared his candidacy for the 2028 U.S. Senate election in Pennsylvania, positioning himself as a "leftist" or progressive primary challenger to Fetterman, running on a platform of wealth redistribution.
Like most Americans, Fetterman is coming to the realization that today's Democrat Party is no longer the Party of JFK -- who was patriotic, pro-life, pro-God, very anti-communist, and pro-capitalist.
But today's Democrat Party has become the party of political assassination, violence, mental illness, and hatred of America.
Today's Democrat Party actively roots for Iran to defeat America and our troops.
Today's Democrats are the party of open borders, lawlessness, election fraud, and using the schools to indoctrinate our children into radical Left LGBTQ ideology (including encouraging children as young as kindergarten to undergo gender transition surgeries).
Today's Democrat Party actively works for America's destruction at every level. And John Fetterman has had enough.
There are reports that President Trump has had conversations with John Fetterman, has offered him massive financial backing, and Trump's endorsement.
Some say: "But Fetterman usually votes with the Democrats."
True.
But my experience is people change their voting behavior and views when they make the decision to switch sides.
Both Donald Trump and Ronald Reagan were Democrats at one point. Reagan famously said: "I did not leave the Democrat Party, the Democrat Party left me.
I consider myself to be a JFK-style Democrat.
...
I think John Fetterman is coming to the same realization.

Yes. Good observation.

In the early 2010's pedowood had a rash of movie posters of people being blinded and I thought at the time they were kind of rubbing it in. Because they had the leftard and average joe masses under a kind of thrall. Even if it was merely zeitgeist. Collective unconscious.

It's not like Fetterman would vote for Ted Cruz or Mike Lee, right?

Better to have him inside the tent peeing outwards I guess.

There was a definition of DEI recently, it has to do with torturing the language
Diversity = Only our opinions and ideas since your ideas are exclusive and it is bad to be exclusive.
Equity=Marxism, when it doesn't mean confiscation because you are mean and that is OK because you are guilty of not being a Marxist
Inclusiveness = cancelling and destroying any countering voice because drowning out any opposition is how the ideas that support our point of view can spread unhindered.

131 The Lierberman example though was largely a Neocon fairytale.

His support for the Iraq war was positioned as the only thing that mattered, yet Lieberman was there for basically every dumb liberal agenda item. He lined up and voted for ObamaCare, liberals SC justices and judges, tax increases, abortion, etc.

I think fetterman is largely the same in that he's not an antisemite that wants America to lose to iran, so everyone thinks he's some conservative hero.

133 I don't want Fetterman as an R or an I--I am rooting for injuries.
I want him and the party to inflict maximum damage on each other.

Was Mehmet Oz a shit candidate?
Yes
But it was Fetterman's party that made Sean Parnell's ex's fake allegations of abuse as "very serious issue."

Which you know were serious and not at all made up because it was made in the middle of a custody battle.
And no police report was ever filed.

From everything I can see, Fetterman talks against his party's most odious positions, but his voting record is 100% Democrat-compliant when it counts. He might vote Republican when it doesn't change the outcome; same thing Ron Paul used to do.

If you look at his history before the US Senate, he doesn't look like somebody who's reasonable or has integrity.

For the last few months of his campaign and first fe months in office, it as looking like Giselle was the planned brain behind the Senator, that she would be the actual Senator. She was an illegal alien from Brazil, iirc, so not Senate material.

87 I understand the true purpose of the "Met-Gala" even if the rest of you trogloldytes do not. This is, purely, a support group exercise. It is easier to acknowledge that you are retarded if there are others there displaying the same retarded behavior.

This is a concept very similar to Alcoholics Anonymous. However, instead of a dependence to alcohol, there is an inherent dependence to displaying a lack of intelligence, irony, and jackassery.

This year's theme, "Retarded Together", shows nuance and forethough. But, this year's event had it's obstacles. Some enterprising member of the serving staff had a laser pointer, and many of the outfits were damaged as participants chased the small light dot throughout the dining area destroying the placenta crepe display.

Posted by: rhomboid

Saw a video of a Matt Walsh I think saying Rock or Rock and Roll is dead (been thinking that for a while). Anyhoo, he lamented that there is really not much of a shared culture anymore. Maybe the superbowl, but he said that 78 million Americans tuned into Ed Sullivan to see the Beatles in 1964. Can't imagine anything like that happening now. But if this is our culture I think I'll sit it out for a while.

It's practically a confessional. They're letting you know they are weird and disturbed and enjoying the fact that you can't stop them. It's like the gay parades showing off their bdsm gear but in a way they can oddly get away with.

Am I saying theyre *all* weird sex pedo perverts who probably eat children?

Yes.

Toronto Star, The Met Gala has been infiltrated by tacky billionaires, an affront to both good taste and eat-the-rich activists
Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez Bezos are the gala’s controversial lead sponsors, threatening to tarnish Anna Wintour’s carefully curated legacy.

But what did that $42 million dollars raised go to? Anna Wintour's legacy.

As Page Six reported, tickets for the extravaganza, which raises money for the Anna Wintour Costume Center at the Metropolitan Museum, this year cost $100,000, while a full table started at around $350,000. Wintour raised a record-breaking $42 million with this week’s event.

I wonder how much any of them donate to charities? And I mean real charities, such as food pantries, pregnancy resource centers, or missionaries. But would entail actually seeing the poors as human persons.
