The Empty ONT
So sorry everyone. Due to a personal emergency (everything's OK now), I was unable to prepare tonight's ONT as planned. I'll be back next week, but for now you'll have to talk amongst yourselves.
I do have one bit of content for ya. It amuses me that STFU is somehow now part of the universal language of humans.

The evening winds down. Tomorrow early I'll exercise. In the evening there is a free concert with national artist Gretchen Wilson and local star Amanda Shaw on the riverfront in a suburban town we often visit. They've been having these free concerts with various artists all month on Sat. nights. Nothing next week 10/31, I believe, but tomorrow night should be cool.
Don't forget to do the clock thing on Sat. night next week. I always overlook one of my timepieces -- usually the one in the car. There's the microwave, coffee maker, two bedroom clocks, five watches, and my kitchen wall clock. And the TV, computers, and phone, but they reset themselves.
Oh, and the new AM/FM/shortwave radio. Who knows, it might reset itself too.

MLD was '64, I think, so a year before the Lost in Space robot. Robots had been featured on episodes of The Twilight Zone and maybe Outer Limits before that, but Julie's character was the first continuing robot character, I believe.

Maybe boobs mean fecundity, but boobs have nothing to do with the sex bits, only the after bits (the post partum ones).
So is the main function of boobs to indicate "This is a female, and thus capable of giving birth"?
What about guys who don't want kids?

She was serious competition for Dawn Wells on "Gilligan's Island", Barbara Eden on "I Dream of Jeannie" and Elizabeth Montgomery on "Bewitched". Truly a golden age of female broadcast pulchritude.
TV and movies have completely lost the plot when it comes to smoking hot babes who also appear to be prime wife material. See also: Florence Henderson in "The Brady Bunch" and Shirley Jones on "The Partridge Family". Even though my actual age demographic was aligned with with Marsha Brady and Laurie Partridge respectively (and sure, they were hot), I was all about the MILFs even then. I think Today's Youth refer to this as the "tradwife" look.
If a female character is supposed to be hot today, she's always or almost always skanked out.

Grok knows all:
Evolutionary psychologists and biologists have proposed several related explanations for why this became a sexual signal:
Fertility and reproductive readiness: Breast development is a clear secondary sexual characteristic driven by estrogen at puberty. It signals that a woman has reached reproductive maturity. Fuller breasts are also associated (imperfectly) with higher body fat reserves, which historically correlated with the ability to support pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Honest signal of health and nutritional status: Maintaining permanent breast tissue requires metabolic resources. In ancestral environments, this could have indicated good health and access to food—traits relevant to mate choice.
Visual and sexual signaling: Unlike many other cues that are temporary or hidden, breasts are a permanent, highly visible feature. Once bipedalism and reduced body hair made the chest more exposed, selection may have favored traits that served as attention-drawing signals of femaleness and maturity.

Russell Finch: Wait a minute, are you knocking this country? Are you saying something against America?
Algernon Hawthorne: Against it? I should be positively astounded to hear of anything that could be said FOR it. Why, the whole bloody place is the most unspeakable matriarchy in the whole history of civilization! Look at yourself, and the way your wife and her strumpet of a mother push you through the hoop! As far as I can see, American men have been totally emasculated. They're like slaves! They die like flies from coronary thrombosis, while their women sit under hairdryers, eating chocolates and arranging for every second Tuesday to be some sort of Mother's Day! And this positively infantile preoccupation with bosoms. In all my time in this wretched, godforsaken country, the one thing that has appalled me most of all is this preposterous preoccupation with bosoms. Don't you realize they have become the dominant theme in American culture: in literature, advertising and all fields of entertainment and everything. I'll wager you anything you like: if American women stopped wearing brassieres, your whole national economy would collapse .

Some Canadian provinces were thinking the US would finally get legislation through this year and announced they were going to stay put instead of changing (Saskatchewan has been doing that for years). Well, let's just say the North American time zone map is going to look a bit strange on November 1.
British Columbia will be aligned with US Mountain time and an hour ahead of the western states which observe Pacific time. Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and western Ontario will be aligned with US central time.
So on November 1, when it's 9 a.m. in Seattle, 10 a.m. in Helena and Denver, and 11 a.m. in Minneapolis, it will be 10 a.m. in most of British Columbia and 11 a.m. all the way from near the BC/Alberta border to just west of Thunder Bay, Ontario.

noun Psychoanalysis
(in Freudian theory) the complex of emotions aroused in a young child, typically around the age of four, by an unconscious sexual desire for the parent of the opposite sex and wish to exclude the parent of the same sex.

We did go to permanent DST in the early '70s under Nixon (energy crisis and all that). That lasted about a year. When clock time of sunrises was pushing 10AM in the western boundaries of the time zones at higher latitudes (looking at you Michigan and Indiana), that was too much, and they switched back.
I predict the same thing will happen again if they do go to permanent DST again.

The western part of Ontario, which is much less populated, is on Central time, like Manitoba. When Manitoba announced its clocks were staying put, Ontario's government had the sense to say that the western part would stay aligned with Manitoba. Otherwise if it was 11:00 a.m. in Manitoba, western Ontario would be 10:00 a.m., and eastern Ontario would be 11:00 a.m.
And I was wrong with my first time description: On November 1, if it's 9 a.m. in Seattle, 10 a.m. in Denver, and 11 a.m. in Minneapolis, BC will be 10:00 a.m., Alberta and Saskatchewan 11:00 a.m., and Manitoba, Ontario, and Quebec will be Noon.

Yes, and that would be standard time. It's basically astronomical, really, of the definition of mean solar time. Noon means the sun is at transit, and seasonal variation aside, 6AM means "early morning", and 6PM means "near sunset".
The Equation of Time adds some variation, and then standard time zones themselves add some more variation, necessary so clocks can be reasonable synchronized in the modern world of fast travel, but I can tolerate that.
Jumping another hour on a whim about when you want the sun to set according to clock time vs the standard 8 - 5 work schedule is a bridge too far for me.

If Isaacman was running NASA back then 20 years ago, it would be different. The current SLS fiasco is basically sunk cost fallacy, and the result of NASA becoming basically a congressional pork jobs program.
The reason Isaacman is going along with it is because of the Chicom threat of getting there first. To scrap the SLS crap and start with something reasonable, would add years to the timeline.

We didn't have time zones until 1883, much less DST. Time was purely local, and basically local time was local mean (or apparent, actually in many cases) solar time.
This wreaked havoc with the railroads. Years earlier there was deadly accidents to clocks being set to different local time zones. A big one killed 14 when one train just slammed into another. Neither thought the other was supposed to be anywhere nearby.
And that made the railroads realize they had to use synchronized clocks. Thus, "Railroad Time" was born.

A sensible placement of the dividing line between the Eastern Time and Central Time zones in Michigan's Upper Peninsula would be to place the three easternmost counties in the Eastern Time zone, as they have the closest connection to the rest of the state.
All counties west of that longitudinal dividing line ought to be in the Central Time zone. There's a reason that the Green Bay Packers are the favorite team the further west you travel across the Upper Peninsula.

And that became a bitch for the railroads to deal with. Internally, they all used their own standard time and kept their clocks in sync. But for the public, they had to convert that to dozens and dozens of local time "zones" all over the country at the major hubs.
Basically, local time just smoothly followed longitude. But at a major hub, they'd have to convert their own time to *dozens* of those different times.
Such was the power of the railroads they were able to do this with the states alone. The federal govt didn't even do it. It was only later, around 1918 when federal law basically rubber stamped what the railroads had already got the states to do.

It was until about that time, call it 1900 really, that our own mechanical clocks became accurate enough to match the Erf's rotation. Up until then, the Erf was the most accurate clock we had. Some very accurate mechanical ones were developed for precision use (see master-slave vacuum pendulum clocks). But then came the atomic clock, which blew away previous accuracy limits, and that became the standard for uniform or "Newtonian time".

By the start of 18th century, astronomers and physicists of the day began to suspect the Erf's rotation was not uniform, but varied a little bit. It was Halley who first noticed something in 1695, and then the evidence continued to mount. By the mid-1800s, it was all but confirmed. Definite proof only came in the early 20th, with observations using the most accurate clocks. I think deSitter had something to do with that.
Anyway that led to the creation of "ephemeris time", and I won't try to ramble on and on about the details of that. But then came atomic time, which became the standard for the defintion of the SI second.

He may be white. Mexicans are mixed race, Spanish and Indian, and some are no darker than an Italian. One of my relatives dated a MexicanAmerican man, who looked like most Americans. He was very dismissive of Mexicans who were darker. There was a word he used for them, I can't remember what it was. There was also a married couple I knew, where the husband was a doctor, and the wife was a former ballerina. You would have thought of them as white.

It is true; Mexicans can be quite racist, and those with lighter skin tones are looked at more positively than those with darker skin tones. My skin is a pale brown right now (I don't, on purpose, get much sun; I'm too high at risk for skin cancer on my transplant meds), but I know I have black, white (European: north, south, east, west Europe), native, chinese, and jewish ancestry. All the non-European comes from Mom, and maybe 22% of European comes from Mom (Iberian, Basque, Italian)...

Up until ephemeris time, the second was just defined as 1/86,400th of a mean solar day. But in the '20s when they created ephemeris time, that had to come up with a different definition of the second, since the earth's rotation was variable. They defined as a certain fraction of the sidereal year, which later was changed to the tropical year (complicated reasons). To do so, they tried to make the new second be as close to the old second as possible.
At the time, Simon Newcomb's Tables of the Sun, was the Bible of "where the sun be at", which was compiled over decades of observations centered around the mid 1800s. Thus the new second became very close the mean solar second of 1850.
And then the atomic time second was defined to be very close to that, and finally here we are with the SI second.

So, that basically locked the definition of the SI second down to the earth's synodic rotation rate in 1850.
By 1972, when the UTC scheme was put into place, the earth's rotation period was about 86,400.003 SI seconds long. 3 milliseconds slow. So due to the leap second scheme they put it (for long reasons), that meant the eart would get about 1 second behind UTC every 333 days.
The max tolerance was set at 0.9s, with 0.6 being the practical limit to allow for any problems.

Back then in 1972, the vagaries of high precision uniform time scales vs mean solar time and all that was not of any concern to the general public for civil time, it was only the province of navigators and astronomers.
So, there were interests on one side who wanted the UTC time scale to tick uniformly, but interests on the other side who wanted UTC to agree with mean solar time. The leap second scheme with the 0.9/0.6s tolerance was the compromise between those. You'll see that 0.9s thing would correspond to about 1 nautical mile error in celestial navigation calculations for longitude.
In the days where setting clocks for the public was mostly "At the tone, the time will be..." with about a minute accuracy, that jumping around occasionally with leap seconds was not a concern.
Then came computers.....and it became a big concern for the public through the damned things.

They are all in this. NIST/USNO are all part of the international body that sets this stuff.
For all practical purposes, with GPS and all that, the need for UTC to agree with UT1 (the precise definition of the current mean solar time to very high precision) doesn't exist.
Nobody really depends on "ballpark" celestial navigation anymore. And if you do need it, UT1 is easily available. Back then, it wasn't. But now, anyone, via the internet can get UT1, TT, TAI, etc, etc easily.

In hindsight, the way to have done it is separate uniform time/SI/atomic time from the notion of civil time.
Computers would run internally on atomic time (which should be Terrestrial Time (TT) -- currently there's a mishmash of TT vs TIA vs GPS time, all ticking at atomic rate, but with different relative offsets to historical crap of epoch set points and all that).
NTP would disseminate TT to all systems. All time stamps, file times, event time, etc, etc would be recorded in TT.
Now, for what time you display to the user, we'd define a simple civil time scale I'll call UT3. This would simple a smoothed version of mean solar time that simply tracked the secular slowing of the earth's rotation.

So, the time of day, and the display time for any internal file time stamps would be displayed to the user as UT3, adjusted to the local time zone.
This is the same as it is now. Internally, it runs on UTC, and just displays local time. UT3 would be exactly the same.
Now, computers would be tracking true uniform time, all differences and all that would be in those units, and the "label" displayed to the user would be adjusted to agree with mean solar time to within a few minutes at worst.
To do this now, however, would be an enormous retrofit. Something like this has been proposed and might one day be the way things work, but not for legacy equipment.

The US govt, through the NIST and USNO and some others maintain their own independent definition of all the time scales. In fact, per federal law what time it is legally is what the NIST says, not what the international version says. So, legally, it's UTC(NIST), TT(NIST), TIA(NIST) that are what the US government considers to be what time it is.

Heh. I had grok go into the weeds with this. And since, it's the federal govt, it gets whacky. There are actually two independent legal time scales for "what time it is" for the US govt. UTC(NIST) and UTC(USNO). Also the TT and TIA versions. UT1 is the sole province of the USNO.
So, for the military or "space purposes" which includes GPS time, it's the USNO. For commercial and civil purposes, it the NIST.

That possible difference is mostly just an "artifact" you might call it, of no practical import. Current atomic clock accuracy the NIST and USNO use is about 10^-16. That's about 1 second in 300 million year error. They're about to push that up to 10^18 or 10^19, which would be less than one second over several ages of the universe.
The trouble is the light travel time between them, which depends on satellite signals going through atmosphere. You can call it slight, unpredictable "twinkling" of the signals. A little density variation here and there over the light travel path that can't be predicted.
If that get to trying to sync too closely with that, they "oversteer" which messes up. Most of the time they agree to less than 1 nanosecond.

20 nanoseconds at the speed of light amounts to roughly 20 feet, using one nanosecond = 30 cm travel at light speed and 30 cm being about 1 foot. If your naval vessel arrives in port 20 feet from where calculated, your harbor pilot should be able to compensate.

I was just reading about the supposed "fail safe" for nuclear weapons. Who knows if the Frogs and Brits have his.
Supposedly a weapon cannot be armed or detonated without the codes. This is some secure cryptographic thing. There is a way to destroy the codes and the mechanism to activate them if need be. That would mean the weapon could not be armed.
If the device is physically tampered with, there is some built in self-destruct. This would destroy the "physics package". That would probably release a lot of radiation and local contamination, but it would render it unable to initiate a nuclear detonation.

In addition the this, an impartial team of U.S. media will document the ongoing venture and both Ukrainian and Russian non-military personnel will work with residents to facilitate the evacuation.

This would be a dirty bomb, scattering plutonium to the four winds. This is considered better than allowing a possibly usable physics package to fall into hostile hands.

Apparently it goes something like this. A nuclear weapon is in danger of falling into enemy hands. The warhead can be disabled. It's internal control system is fried, destroyed. There is no way it can be detonated.
But the "physics package" remains. If you can bug out, you remove that package and take it with you. If not, well, you go dirty bomb.

Missile Leasing Agreement
The UK does not own its own nuclear missiles.
It leases Trident II D5 missiles from the United States.

British submarines must return to a US base in King’s Bay, Georgia, for maintenance and replacement of these missiles.
This arrangement highlights the reliance of the UK on US support for its nuclear deterrent capabilities.

If a bunch of muzoids got a hold of an intact physics package, they couldn't do anything with it, that is in terms of making a usable nuclear bomb out of it. That would require way too much expertise involving all kinds of classified stuff. They probably put no telling what kind of "poisons" in there that have to be handled just so, and without knowing just how it works, trying to implode it would not work. I'm just guessing. The Rooskies and Chicoms might be able to do it. But we ain't worried about them. A jihad jockey couldn't come anywhere close.
But what the muzloid could do is make a dirty bomb of it, scattering plutonium all over a city or something. You do not want to breathe plutonium dust. You would die horribly and slowly.
So, just blow it up right there and make the dirty bomb there. Scatter the stuff there, rather than letting them scatter it somewhere else. This would still be a nightmare environmentally.

Note these lunatics wouldn't care about killing themselves in the process, breathing in the plutonium and all that. If they got a hold of some, they wouldn't worry about contaminating themselves. They wouldn't die quick enough to prevent them from carrying it to a city and dispersing it crudely.

Man has always dreamed of f***ing the Moon.
A hole on the Moon just turned out to be the front door to a 50 km tunnel.
Japan’s Kaguya orbiter first spotted it. A pit about 50 metres wide and 50 metres deep, sitting in the Marius Hills on the Moon’s near side. Then JAXA pointed the probe’s radar underground. The echoes came back with something huge: a lava tube roughly 100 metres wide, running about 50 km, and still intact. No collapse. Scientists think it was carved by volcanic activity around 3.5 billion years ago. There may even be ice or water locked in the rocks inside. That’s why JAXA thinks it could become a lunar base. Shelter from radiation, micrometeorites and brutal temperature swings, all built in. Source: JAXA / ISAS, Geophysical Research Letters— For all Curious (@fascinatingonX) October 21, 2026

Seriously, these are likely "skylights" to lava tubes and underground cave complexes. These could be ideal locations for habitats. Temperature down there seems to stable in the low 60F range over the whole lunar day/month cycle. And you've got radiation protection and all that good stuff.

Indeed, theoretically. The thing to appreciate with this is the power line, of itself, is not "radiating energy". It is radiating a tiny little bit, but not that much.
By placing the devices in close proximity, you are actually changing the local EM field to draw power out of said field. And that shows up as additional resistive leakage on the supply end of the line.

There is actually a precise definition about this. To be a binary planet system, the center of mass must lie outside of all bodies of the system.
With the Earth-Moon system, the center of mass remains inside the Erf's radius at all times, so we have a moon, not a binary planet. Pluto and Charon however, meet the binary planet definition.

Very little water on the Moon or Mars. That means every single aspect of solid material is jagged and sharp. Even if there is a breathable atmosphere you don't want that stuff in your lungs. The Moon is even worse than Mars due to the vacuum state. Mars, at least, curbs this problem a little bit with winds. But, it's still inhospitable. The dust, stones and particulate matter is razor sharp and will cut through just about everything eventually. Good luck keeping those generators going for any length of time.

It was. Not now but it was.
I think it's when the south pole got sheared off in the Aitken strike. This event pushed the center of lunar gravity more to the far side and (re)liquified much of the interior. The near side got lunar lava seas, which solidified into dark basalt, which are now the "maria" (plural of latin "mare", "sea").

Geologists were fooled during the Apollo days. They were sure that the Descartes Highlands were volcanic in nature, and chose that for landing site of Apollo 16, John Young and Charlie Duke's mission.
They were dead wrong, and it was impact formed. They just let their terrestrial bias (that looks very much like a volcanic feature on earth, so much so it just has to be) fool them.

The moon becomes "infected" by a form of exotic matter, but the Moon has some inherent protection unique to its composition. It's a carrier for infection.
A bit of infected Moon falls to Earth, starting an irreversible transformation of Earth into exotic matter as a chain reaction begins.
Our only hope as a species is for the remnants of humanity to colonize the Moon until we can find a way out to the rest of the Solar System and then beyond...

Stephen Baxter had a pretty good answer for this in The Medusa Chronicles.
A subplot involves sending out AI probes to the Kuiper Belt to harvest ice from the outermost reaches of the solar system. It takes a couple of decades to get the operation up and running, but once you do, you can set up a near-endless chain of water being delivered to the inner solar system. For millennia, if not millions of years.
Things went find until one of the AI machines stared out into space too long and started having delusions of godhood. It didn't work out well for humanity.

One thing our relatively big Moon does that is probably essential for life here is to stabilize the earth's axial tilt. Without that, the Erf's tilt would swing chaotically over a wide range, perhaps going full Uranus on it's side.
As it is, the tilt varies from 22.1 to 24.5 degrees over a 41K year cycle. The Moon does this by speeding up the precession rate, and de-tuning it out of resonance with perturbations mainly from Jupiter.

The highest inclination moon in the whole solar system is Neso, a very irregular moon of Neptune with an inclination of about 136 degrees. That's using the right-hand rule for the normal to the orbital plane, and so inclinations over 90 degrees (perfect polar) are greater than 90 degrees. So subtract 90, and that's a tilt of the plane relative the equator of 46 degrees.

I had a story plotted out called Sun Forge about being on an orbital factory that had a parabolic orbit that took it beyond the Asteroids and inside the orbit of Venus to pick up raw ore at the Asteroids end and travel in to Venus to forge it, machine it on the way back, and while within the Venus orbit, pick up solar protons and Venus atmosphere from atmosphere dipping ramships to match up with the Oxygen released in the forging to make H2O.
I got told it was not energy efficient and the Asteroids were too sparse to be a good ore source. Also that the proton flux was too thin to be a good source of H for water.
In the Golden Era I would not have let this be a concern. Today I would get ripped apart

My entire field experience against Salvadorans consists of a few shifts in a soccer game against a team of them in suburban MD years ago - a terrifying time. Physical, compact, tough, fast. Hockey teammate convinced me to do it, once. That same spring he broke his ankle in one of those games and missed our playoffs.

The set they built looked pretty accurate. I had a good tour of the building when I was there. A lot of stone and wood. The flames are pretty dramatic from what I can see. They served good bier!

gamers are THE most entitled group aside from maybe billionaires, but many see themselves as the most persecuted class of people alive. Gamergate got trump elected, prove me wrong
It's just wild that it's either kids being trained to hate so early on or adults with no empathy for others who have their lives uprooted because some faceless execs at the top.
the culture war against Veilguard that coincided with the 2024 election was one of the saddest things I've seen in my 35 years as a gamer. It reviewed well, was extremely polished, and had an excellent gameplay loop.
I'm just sad. I love games as an art form. There should be room for the discussion of LGBTQ themes in gaming. Even imperfectly. Literature has been doing it for over a century. Film for well over 50 years. But from Gamergate to Veilguard, a certain subset of the gaming fandom refuses to grow up and will help kill studios and the careers of talented writers who dare to step out of line.
The collapse of BioWare and others is terrifying because it means right wing grifters and dolts are having real, tangible impacts on the industry.

France Finally Deploys Troops in Wake of Terrorist Attack
They're claiming, for the moment, that this was not a terror attack by migrants but one directed at migrants, which makes it one of the terrorist attacks they're willing to acknowledge and not pretend that a Car Drove Itself.
Macron claims this is the first time someone has ever been targeted on the basis of his race in a terror attack. This is, of course, the most absurd of all lies. The Bataclan terrorists were specifically killing native French and of course the Muslim African terrorists at the Hypermarche were murdering Jews. But they're allowed to, of course.Oh, now interethnic violence is a turning point? It was NBD before? And so finally France will deploy troops to oppose rioters. Supposedly. But he keeps insisting that people have the right to Mostly Peaceful Protest.
Visegrád 24
@visegrad24 Macron says that today's shooting in Trappes was aimed at migrants and the first terror attack in French history against a group of people targeted because of their skin and religion. He is naturally lying as there have been several such Islamist attacks in France in recent years which were carried out against Jews or Christians. - 2012, Mohammed Merah attacks a Jewish school in Toulouse and murders a rabbi and 3 kids - 2015, Amedy Coulibaly murders 4 Jews at the Hypercacher kosher supermarket in Paris - 2016, Adel Kermiche and Abdel Malik Petitjean storm a church in Normandy and murder the 85-year-old priest Jacques Hamel, by slitting his throat, and also critically wound an 86-year-old man. 2020, Brahim Aouissaoui storms a Catholic basilica in Nice and stabs 3 people to death. Macron stated today: "What happened today is a turning point. It is the first time there has been a terrorist act planned to kill our compatriots, our children, because of the color of their skin or their religion"
A suspected terrorist attack near Paris Friday added to tensions across France as the nation prepares for more potential violence Saturday. Seventy thousand law enforcement officers, along with helicopters, armored vehicles and water cannons, will be deployed across France as President Emmanuel Macron's government tries to ward off another weekend of violent protests. "The strategy adopted for the coming days is to ban protests requested by individuals or groups with no legitimate authority," Macron said ahead of the weekend after canceling his planned trip to Nigeria and Senegal originally scheduled for next week. ...So the left gets their protest approved, but the anti-Macron Yellow Vests get their protest denied.
Adding to security concerns, a suspected terrorist attack occurred in the city of Trappes, west of Paris. A 39-year-old man was arrested by police after one person was killed and four others, including a 12-year-old girl, were wounded in what was originally said to be a "relatively random" shooting. Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez has since told local media, "The motive may be racist. The investigation is ongoing, but this is clearly a terrorist crime." The AFP reported the suspect appeared to fire randomly from a vehicle, and the mayor told reporters the dead victim and at least one of the wounded were "of African origin." Macron said "the nation is standing with" the victims of this "terrible ordeal." ... Reuters reports that the Union Nationale des Étudiants de France, or UNEF, one of the nation's oldest student unions, has said its planned rallies will go on as scheduled despite police rejecting their permit requests. Police have so far only approved a union demonstration in Paris, Reuters reported, while denying requests from UNEF and the "Yellow Vest" movement, an anti-establishment force that first emerged in 2018.
Macron also took aim at those he says are behind the violence, saying, "Last Saturday, we had political and seditious acts by ultra-left groups whose aim is to bring down the Republic."Until a few days ago they were part of just "the left" and protected by Macron. Now they're a problem, and they're "ultra-left." Kind of like Russia went from being protected by the Democrat Party to the greatest threat ever. So are we finally going to see mass arrests of Fiery But Mostly Peaceful Protesters? Well... You probably heard that 4,000 Mostly Peaceful Student Activists had been arrested in France for rioting, assaulting cops, looting, and arson. Here's how the French "justice" system is dealing with the insurgents and invaders: Giving them community service and sending them home.
More at the link. Some people actually got some months in prison but they seem to be a minority. As you know, Macron fled France for a junket in the Gulf States where he could strut around like a Very Important Peacock and pretend that his entire country wasn't on fire. He's a student of Karen Bass.

Max. sentence: 7 years
This "news" organization has a very interesting, very objective headline to describe abandoning France during a violent uprising:
Gulf tour puts spring in Macron's step to tackle protests at homeOh terrific! He just needed a mental health break and now he's tanned, rested, and ready, and infused with a whole new purpose.
Georgia Meloni has remained in Italy and pushed for harsher anti-rioting laws.
Here's how it's going in France:
Italy's response to a weekend of street violence has moved from emergency policing to tougher criminal law, with Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni seeking to reassert control after unrest in Milan and other northern cities The government approved measures on Tuesday creating an offence of violent participation in demonstrations, extending preventive detention powers to teenagers aged 14--17 and making parents financially liable for damage caused by their children. The package also provides for 500 soldiers to support security operations in Milan through December. The crackdown presents a defining challenge for a prime minister whose political identity rests heavily on law and order: demonstrating that stronger powers can prevent another eruption while addressing the conditions feeding public anger. ... As EU Today reported in its earlier coverage of the unrest, police brought 271 people to headquarters following Sunday's disturbances, including 220 minors. Thirty-two were formally arrested, a detail that matters when assessing the scale of alleged criminal involvement. The prominence of teenagers has shaped the government's response. According to the Associated Press, the decree makes prosecuting minors over 14 easier and includes plans to expand juvenile detention capacity and judicial resources. Parliament must convert the decree into law within 60 days. For supporters, the argument is straightforward: shopkeepers should not have to absorb the cost of destruction, and officers need effective tools against groups exploiting demonstrations to commit offences. Yet preventive detention raises a different question from punishment after conviction. Its credibility depends on clear evidence, consistent safeguards and meaningful scrutiny, particularly when those affected are children.
Invaders show off their weapons cache in France.
Whilst natives are unarmed.

A tiny bird man I could drop kick across a road. Coward comes to mind. Stupid. Feckless and pretend leader of a country. Married to his old school teacher who wears wigs and hits him on ze plane.
He waits over a decade to consider sending troops for riots, after the religion terrorist attacks Ace stated (and the one in Normandy haunts me still). But to protect his precious migrant barbarians and their "religion."

Italy? I still care a bit about Italy. Mostly for the art and some of the food in out of the way town restaurants (predominately in the north). I like Meloni because I am convinced she is the one that tipped Trump off about the Zelenskyy visit and how he would act, thus giving Trump the opportunity to bring Vance in to serve as a buffer and an enforcer (there are number of reasons to believe this, not the least is her attitude after the emergency EU meeting just before that meeting and her being the only leader to leave without talking to the press looking pissed).
Finally....wait a week. They are scheduling massive protests in Germany for Oct 31. You think the AfD is popular now. Give it a few weeks. They will be able to field a clear voting majority. Then it gets interesting.

He was at a nightclub with his GF. A guy named Barry Washington came up and hit on his GF. She turned him down so Barry assaulted her and Ian, knocking the latter to the ground.
As Barry came over to finish him off, Ian took out a pistol and shot Barry, killing him.
Checking reddit one of the top comments is, "Carrying a gun when you go out to a bar is just stupid and far more likely to cause harm than good."
But he used the gun in self defense against a larger man then meant to inflict serious bodily harm...his being armed did more good then harm.

At least the Germans will probably fight back. Big people, drunk on massive amounts of bier.
Glad I saw most of Europe and all of the UK before this hideous mess. At the time Paris was relatively clean, and the outskirts of Paris were fine as well as the people we met. No problems any time we visited.
I was mortified and shushed my 6'3" husband and son,waiting in line to see Marie Antoinette's tiny family summer home in Vienna, Schonbrunn Palace. Which was opulent and the grounds were gorgeous.
My dudes were semi-whispering about the Austrian and French tiny men vs the size of the Germans. Commented, "No wonder they surrendered!"

@HeerJeet
This makes sense when you realize that Acton's estranged mother represents a major demographic cohort -- parents who covered up horrific family secrets and are puzzled why their kids don't talk to them. This cohort is becoming politically organized.

Marxist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani showcased his latest bit of treachery with a twist that is sparking online anger.
On Friday, the ardent opponent of basic immigration enforcement went online and decided to coach the Big Apple’s illegal alien residents in SPANISH on how they can avoid being detained by ICE.
In the video, Mamdani outlines these three steps illegals can undertake to sabotage immigration enforcement: demand a judicial order from ICE before they can enter one of your ‘private’ spaces, remain silent if asked about your immigration status, and call the city’s immigration legal support line.

The Week In Woke
Tim Walz's lieutenant governor, the trans extremist Peggy Flanagan who wears trans t-shirts with a combat knife emblem, says she had nothing at all to do with the massive fraud that Minnesota saw under the Walz-Flanagan administration.
Why it's absurd to claim that Peggy Flanagan has anything to do with wasting the taxpayers' money!Is that good advice, JackStraw?
Peggy Flanagan and Tim Walz Steered Millions To Pay for Disgusting 'Booty Bumping' Kits that Help Junkies Take Drugs Through 'the Rectum'
Minnesota requires the provider of the booty bumping kits to also give junkies voter registration materials Chuck Ross
October 21, 2026 Minnesota Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan's (D.) administration spearheaded the awarding of millions of dollars in grants and contracts to a "harm reduction" group that supplies "booty bumping" kits to drug users to help them safely ingest drugs through "the butthole." The controversial funding was part of a $100 million grant--announced by Flanagan and Gov. Tim Walz--for "Minnesotans facing homelessness," including so-called harm reduction for drug users. In the announcement, Flanagan, now running for Senate, said that "These grants will ensure that everyone can access the supports they need to find and secure safe, stable housing." The administration highlighted grants to Southside Harm Reduction Services, a nonprofit that "promotes the health and wellbeing of drug users" through "harm reduction" supplies like syringes, sterile water, and drug cookers to help junkies get high "safely." A key "harm reduction" offering from Southside is free lube and other supplies to help users in the "booty bumping" scene to ingest all kinds of drugs--including heroin, meth, and ketamine--"through the rectum (anus, butthole)." Southside is also required by the state of Minnesota to give the junkies voter registration materials. Southside touts the booty bumping kits, also known as "boofing" kits, in social media posts and on its website as safer methods to ingest some drugs and an efficient way to get high. Booty bumping helps drugs "reach the bloodstream quickly," allowing practitioners to "reach a high faster than some other routes of administration," Southside Harm Reduction says. Southside Harm Reduction offers other instructions. "Try to poop before. This is so your drugs are absorbed better," Southside Harm Reduction Services advises in a pamphlet contained in the kits.
"Stand, squat, or lay on your side in a comfortable position. It never hurts to have a boofing buddy!" Boofing is controversial among harm reduction advocates. Because the drugs bypass the digestive system and enter the bloodstream quickly, it can increase the likelihood of fatal overdoses. The state of Minnesota has awarded $7.9 million in grants and contracts to Southside Harm Reduction Services since 2023, according to state spending records. The administration awarded $432,000 to Southside in 2024 to provide "low-barrier access" to harm reduction supplies. The Washington Free Beacon first reported on the grants during Walz's failed vice presidential run.This is pretty funny: Not all Karens are female. I'm going to add "Nope," "Absolutely not," F*** that" to my active meme vocabulary. I mentioned that Joey Swoll built his channel on Gym Whores showing their anuses to the world and then shaming men for looking at their fat butts for one second. Here's a recent example of this e-whore trend. Here's more Entitled Whore Gym Entitlement: The girl with the nice thick legs sprints on the running machine, which is a perfectly legitimate use for it. They have a setting for it and everything. But this entitled whore thinks that it's too loud because she can't listen to "my music" when the other girl is sprinting. Note that sprinting is an important gym activity while listening to "my music" is not. Also note that sprinting lasts for like 20 seconds and no one would probably do more than three sets of it. So this entitled skank is complaining that she can't hear "my music" for a total time of one minute. These people need to be banned from gyms and public spaces generally. As Joey Swoll often says, if you really want to film yourself without people walking in front of your camera, or you want to listen to "my music" without people rudely using gym equipment in the way it is supposed to be used, build your own home gyms, you broke-ass bitches.

Two tier justice in the US: some racial groups are allowed to engage in truly nasty racist behavior.
Speaking of two-tiered justice: Disgraced effeminate former UK PM Keir Starmer was the head of the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) while it was covering up the grooming/rape gang scandal and allowing foreign invaders to rape lower-class native girls. He'll now be forced to answer questions about that.
A former student in a Maryland public school system has filed a federal civil rights complaint alleging the school system failed to adequately respond to years of antisemitic harassment that included slurs and an incident in which he received a bomb threat. The complaint against the Montgomery County Public Schools was filed with the federal Education Department's Office for Civil Rights and alleges the Orthodox Jewish student experienced harassment at two of the system's high schools and that the school district failed to sufficiently protect him. "Students would throw coins at him and call him a dirty Jew," according to the Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law, which filed the complaint. The student had to transfer high schools because the harassment was "unbearable," the center also said. The school system told local news outlet WTOP that it's aware of the complaint but declined to further comment, citing "an ongoing matter." The complaint asks federal officials to investigate whether the school system violated Title VI of the Civil Rights Act.
If you pay me six buck I can tell you why previous probes and investigations failed to produce meaningful change: Because the "investigations" were all designed from the start to cover up the previous cover-ups. The world's money-hungriest socialist wants to sell you more pricey yet cheap bling. Black TikTokers are complaining that some CVS stores only put skin and hair care products intended for blacks under lock and key. They claim this is "racist." For six buck I can tell you why the stores are specifically guarding products intended for blacks under lock and key. I sure don't like that law-abiding blacks feel the shame of being suspected in mass shoplifting. It stings. I have no doubt of that. I am sympathetic. But I would like very much if they stopped blaming whitey for this poor state of things, and instead blamed the people actually responsible for it: a large and brazen subculture which has decided that they are entitled to rob and loot and pillage as they please and a Democrat Party determined to indulge those antisocial, barbaric beliefs.
Keir Starmer listed as 'core participant' in grooming gangs inquiry The ex-Prime Minister will give evidence after announcing the investigation Sir Keir Starmer will be summoned to give evidence to the national grooming gangs inquiry, GB News understands. The former Prime Minister, who announced the inquiry last year, has been listed as a core participant. The inquiry will commence its National Accountability Hearings in London in December and January. Further hearings will take place in March and April next year. The inquiry's hearings are expected to examine why previous probes and investigations have not resulted in "meaningful change".

— Tall Roman Statue (@TallRomanStatue) October 22, 2026
April 2024: Alex de Waal tells a Harvard audience that Gaza is "the most intense famine that we have seen since records began." October 2026: After none of his dire predictions came true, Alex de Waal declares that Gaza was, actually, "a very different type of famine." Alex de Waal wrote the standard textbook on famine, runs the World Peace Foundation, and helped write starvation crimes into international law. When the media says "famine experts warn," this is who they mean. In March 2024 he told Democracy Now that Gaza's children were already dying of hunger and disease, "likely in thousands already." Asked in October 2026 if Gaza made him rethink his work, he said yes. Was he wrong? Of course not. The most intense famine since records began was simply "a very different type of famine," with "a very different demographic profile." Not one word about the thousands of children he said were already dying. When Noam Dworman pressed him on the deaths in September, de Waal's answer was that the pattern "was something that was puzzling" and "we actually don't know how many have died." He was certain enough in 2024 to tell the world they were already dying by the thousands. Now he isn't certain enough to say how many died at all. *** What actually happened: The IPC's own Famine Review Committee, June 2024: the famine claims were "not plausible," and "the available evidence does not indicate that Famine is currently occurring."Post here, with video.

When corporate redid the walmart in my rural NE Texas town they installed a locked cabinet that has the black hair care products in it. It's right in the middle of the shampoo row and I do not recall that stuff ever being locked up before.
It may have been temporary because they were moving everything in the store around to new places but it was there the last time I went down that row a few weeks ago.

But that strategy always worked in the past
- "driving while black" as a way to stop police from pulling over that car with broken windows, smelling of dope, and on the stolen vehicle list. NO, you must not pull over too many cars driven by blacks
- Shot-spotter must be removed from Chicago city because it identifies too many shooters in black neighborhoods.
- Random searches can not include too many blacks, even if they are the ones doing suspicious things.
- That "white hispanic" was wrong for reporting and tracking a black thug who was casing apartments to rob.
- No redlining. Whitey banks must make loans in decrepit neighborhoods because they contain blacks and to not loan there would be racism.
I can go on. Hiring, renting, school discipline.... everything. Demanding society bend to their will is their go-to strategy.

Our favorite big-chain grocery store nearest us just installed "security" arrangements on the personal care aisle last year. Sadly, a few months later came the little gates to get in. I should ask a manager if those changes were demand-driven (so to speak) or top-down corporate changes.

“On or about April 19, 2022, LOUISE LUCAS asked ICC #1 if they were a member of law enforcement before purchasing between 3-5 pounds of marijuana from ICC #1.”

Has anyone done a serious study of the harm caused by all these "harm reduction" programs? It seems obvious they just encourage destructive behavior so instead of losing a few and everyone else getting a lesson, we lose tens of thousands a year.

There was a story years ago about a panic with girls soaking their tampons in vodka, putting it to good use, and going to class.
I think that's probably what's going here.

Dr Adali Warsame
@AdaliWarsame
This is her modus operandi. You English speakers only know one side of Ilhan. You dont know the violent, fascistic, ethnonationalist, ethnosupremacist Ilhan. That one is reserved for her Somali speaking audience. She is highly machiavelian, duplicitous and cunning. Here she is sending one message to the “white” “liberal” “naive” audience (message: oh look at me walking in a park with my husband life is great I am just an ordinary family woman). To her Somali audience the dog whistle violent rhetoric is in the song itself which btw is a war cry / war song: “I will wipe the floor with my enemies. I will crush them under my boot. I will put them in graves”. The duality and duplicity of Ilhan Omar. You really dont know what or who youre dealing with. These are her forbears (real picture). She comes from Somalian fascist nazis.

My dad likes fast cars and isn't an idiot. But when I was a kid he made that point that IF one were really interested in car safety placing a knife facing the driver imbedded in the center of the steering wheel would be more effective than a seatbelt. It would be a constant reminder to every driver that they had skin in the game, literally.

[BI support Flanagan, but she really let Michelle Tafoya walk all over her at the debate. She had no response to anything except “but Donald Trump!” That line famously didn’t work in 2016 or 2024.
I was able to sit down and discuss both candidates policies with my life long Republican (until Trump 2020) father yesterday. Hes voting Peggy!
Minnesota is this year’s Washington of 2022. Remember the panic in Democratic camp when Murray’s defeat was in margin of error and her opponent was even tied to her in the polls in final couple of weeks, only for Murray to win by nearly 15 points
I strongly suspect that if there were an actual real possibility that Peggy Flanagan might lose the general election that AOC would do more to help her.
If not for the national climate this year, Tafoya would have had a genuine shot. As it stands, though, that’s no longer the case.

I've read from people I trust that we don't have a homeless problem--we have an addiction problem. I think addiction describes 80% or more of it, but I'm not sure it describes all of it. One way of the other, I've seen more "homeless" people hanging out in what used to be "normal" areas around Oklahoma City in the last 24 months than I ever saw before, even during the Weekend at Bernie's presidency.

When we lived in Kentucky there was a homeless guy in lexington that was revived with narcan 23 times in less than two years. There was a very heated argument during a city council meeting when the police chief asked "how many times is enough?"
This one homeless guy was taking a huge chunk out of the cities EMS budget. They would get a 911 call and the cops would go to the address and find the guy OD'ed and have to revive him. They then had to wait for the ambulance that would take him to the hospital where he got to stay for 2-3 days before they would let him go.

That's all I've got from this week's Ace news.
All I can handle as I go off to solve the mystery of yet another Douchass Meghan of Sucks trash family erurption.
The Met police state they never launched a letter to her in 2018 regarding Daddy and are trying to find it. hic
She lies often as pathological narcissists often do. If she or her halfwit half brother lied the truth shall come out. I'll be here for it as she reminds me of the narcissist who used to be in my life.
In all seriousness if you do nothing else about her highness, look at her latest video of her setting the table with her As Ever crap on the subreddit. It's supposed to somehow be a table for Christmas. In all white. She decends the stairs majestically in a strange dress ($2k) someone described as "the world's largest vulva." Which had me a bit hysterical last night. She sets her candy bars on soup bowls for reasons unknown. Puts her arse on the table and poses weirdly and laughs maniacally. Perfection.
The comments are priceless. It is the most retarded thing I have seen in awhile, as I haven't watched debates.

Well, what do we have here? Ilhan Omar and Keith Ellison at a Minneapolis early-voting site, just feet from a voter casting a ballot, with cameras rolling all around them.
But get this…
Minn. Stat. § 204C.06, subd. 1 limits who may stand within 100 feet of a polling place. Subd. 2(a) limits who may remain inside and who may approach within six feet of voting booths or equipment. Subd. 8 says news media may not approach within six feet of a voter. § 211B.11, subd. 1 prohibits soliciting votes or displaying campaign materials inside polling places and, during early voting, within 100 feet of the room, as far as practicable.
Omar is on the ballot for Congress. Ellison is on the ballot for Attorney General. Their presence as high-profile candidates, with media in tow, while voters are casting ballots, looks like exactly the lingering and electioneering these rules are written to prevent. Ordinary citizens don’t get to do this.
Rules for thee, not for me.

BOOM: Ilhan "Omar's" Sister's Marriage Certificate Says Her Father Is Nur Said Elmi, Not Omar
Will Chamberlain
@willchamberlain The New York Post has obtained and published an official copy of Ilhan Omar's sister's marriage certificate. It describes their father as "Nur Said Elmi," and his profession as a "military officer. More evidence that she is not who she says she is.
Yesterday I mentioned a social media post in which Ilhan Nur Said Elmi's brother/ex-husband, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, acknoweldged that Ilhan's third child was a "niece," that is, the daughter of his sister. Here is that post, via Hot Air, as posted by Ben Weingarten:
1. You have the same parents: This probably should have tipped you off. ... 6. Your mother-in-law is also your regular mother: And she actually likes you. 7. He's straight, but says things to you like "stop trying to kiss me, that's a crime against nature," "why don't you have your own bedroom" and "you are my sister, what is wrong with you?": Contrary to popular belief, this is not playful love banter.There are more. Another headline from The Bee:
Ilhan Omar Says She Didn't Know She'd Married Her Brother As They Were Separated At Birth And Hidden From Their Father, Darth Vader
David Steinberg
@realDSteinberg 35m I'm most proud of this @IlhanMN find: Not long after Ilhan swore 8 times in her divorce filing that she had no idea how to contact Ahmed, I proved -- via the source code of the website for her sister Sahra Noor's company 😎 -- that he was working for Sahra, and quite easy to contact.

That’s because Oz didn’t call Israel Bloodthirsty. Oz didn’t write an oped urging support for the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. Oz didn’t have donors who belonged to the MB. Oz didn’t blame terrorism on the policies of the US. And Oz didn’t justify a terrorist on a synagogue. This race isn’t about Abdul’s faith. It’s about his extremist ideas.— Ari Fleischer (@AriFleischer) October 23, 2026

Another time, without a reason
The blessing always given, insult
The white creator, angry
The hard one didn't pass the foot
A red thread woven
The excessive love, the drinker
The madness of love affected you
As long as the clouds rise
The creator's lightning strikes
The fate that didn't reach me
If we don't get tired
The hyenas eat, and I won't get up

I don't think she had any goal other than being a representative. That was the perfect place for her to grift tens of millions of dollars while she thought no one was paying attention. And there is no way the democrats will kick her out of the house even if it is proven that she lied on her citizenship forms. She will win reelection as well, that is in the bag already.
Plus there is no way that this will ever work it's way through the court system before Trump leaves office in January 2029. The democrats have a fair chance that the next democrat president will pardon her at that point.

Robert *Palmer* certainly had a version in 1988. The Wiki article for the song doesn't mention any earlier versions. It's such a hard-charging kind of song, it's hard for me to imagine Bob Goulet singing it.

Yes, and it is derogatory because marriage was assumed to part of becoming an adult. You grew up, got married, raised a family.
A lot of jargon we take for granted as older origins, such as a chick vs a hen.

Angelina Jolie starred in a movie we never heard of and we started watching because I learned that night that my dude likes her. News to me! About fire jumpers and called Those Who Wish Me Dead.
While we didn't want to be dead afterwards, like we were with the mystery western and a horse/cowboy and no dialogue or music for almost 2hrs...it was not good writing at all. It ended really stupidly.

This might be the most shameless islamist rewrite of history a French president has ever made.
A racist terrorist allegedly killed a man in Trappes today. Macron just called it "the first time" anyone in France was targeted for their religion.

I'm still mad that, when Aubrey Plaza was just starting as a stand-up comedienne, her schtick -- the schtick tha made her famous -- was being insecure and nerdy. Bu then the moment she broke through and became famous -- she stopped "being" insecure and instantly transformed into an entitled hyper-self-confident Hollywood diva.
Itv was only then that we realized that her insecure shtick WAS JUST AN ACT, and she never was actually insecure and nerdy -- she just pretended to be to appeal to the demographic of loser-nerds who are desperately seeking that oine girl who's actuallynkinda cute but doesn't realzie it so has lowe standards, giving them, a chance.
IT WAS ALL AN ACT.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Both of you.
My scripts ran for 5 hours plus and most cost around $4. I ran scripts about 20 hours + a day for 7 to 10 days and spent about $300.
I'm thinking AI video is obviously going to cost more and generate more revenue because of the amount of tokens generated. But not nearly enough.

I don't plan to spend my life in prison for my sarcasm, as I can't control it. Even in bad circumstances and major stress it appears.
I'd make a crack about the PM or President and off I go to the gulag!
A man in England had his mouth taped shut for his arrest in the last few days for saying something outloud. I'd try to bite the person taping my mouth to make it worse for me. You can see why I try to stay out of jail or prison.

I haven't even made it to the UK DM story today on Markle's father. The Harkles have tried everything and are now on their last bullet for sympathy/attention or whatever is next. I think Jr did this from the little I read last night, as Daddy stopped paying for him. He's so dumb he's probably not considered forensics. It's long been suspected she'd claim abuse after he died, so she pulled the trigger in advance, it seems. Or, I suppose, it could be true. The entire family are trashy and weird.
The subreddit snark is called SaintMeghanMarkle and I read it when I have time. Last night there was a promo ad video for her As Ever crap that had me snorting and laughing due to the comments. I have found my people! Altho I don't comment, I love them. There were over 900 comments to read.
When I laugh alone from another room my dude asks wth I am doing.
This happens almost weekly and I do try to control myself but the laughter or snorting escapes vs causing internal injuries.

A number of years ago I was visiting my buddy at his boat shop. The service building had a bunch of service bays at ground level and the office was up top with an outdoor staircase.
It was dark when we left and as we were coming down the stairs we heard this weird hissing and growling noise. There was a rabid raccoon at the base of the stairs and when he saw us he started moving at us. We hightailed it back inside and he stood at the door, hissing, growling and trying to claw his way in.
This one today honestly looked like he was drunk. Glassy eyed and no control over his movements.

Trump's DHS is Knocking on Doors to Ask People About Their Immigration Status and Voter Status as the Left Continues Lying About Its Legions of Illegal Voters
Update: Big Win in Court for Border Enforcement
Charles Schumer and Democrats are suing to keep illegal aliens on the voter rolls.
Federal agents with the Department of Homeland Security have been knocking on doors in several states to ask residents about their immigration status and if they've registered to vote or voted in past elections. The operation is part of a broader election-integrity effort to prevent noncitizens from voting ahead of the midterms, CBS News reported. The Northern California office of Homeland Security Investigations posted photos on X in September showing agents knocking on doors with the comment that "HSI in Northern California will investigate any allegations of noncitizen voting and is committed to ensuring the enforcement of federal election law." The Kansas City office of HSI also posted photos of its agents knocking on doors with the comment, "AMERICAN ELECTIONS ARE FOR AMERICANS." The number of home visits increased in September and continued over the past weekend, according to CBS. The Department of Justice on Monday announced a string of arrests related to alleged voter fraud in California. ... "These are not isolated instances," another official said, before confirming that the DOJ was reviewing thousands of alleged illegal voting cases across the country.
Does it sound bad that the feds claimed 16,000 illegal voters but then reduced that to 185? It does sound bad. Because it's another lie.
The Democrats are fighting for the their lives when it comes to battling election integrity efforts. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries announced a federal lawsuit challenging the Trump administration's efforts to identify and remove suspected noncitizens from state voter-registration lists. The 44-page complaint, filed in federal court in Washington, D.C., alleges that the Department of Homeland Security has supplied states with unreliable lists of supposedly ineligible voters and pressured election officials to act on them. The plaintiffs offer Nevada as an example, claiming that federal investigators initially identified approximately 16,000 suspected noncitizen registrants before narrowing the figure to 185, whom Nevada officials subsequently identified as apparent citizens. Democrats claim that the administration's actions threaten eligible voters' rights and interfere with state election administration. Of course. "None of this is lawful," the complaint reads.
The DHS isn't claiming these are all illegal aliens voting illegally. It's notifying the states that these are noncitizens who may or may not be voting. They are asking states to verify if these noncitizens, including legal residents and illegal aliens, are registered to vote or not. And the blue states are of course refusing to undertake this simple clerical step, because they want the illegal hordes voting for Democrats.
David J. Bier
@David_J_Bier Only 28% of a sample of DHS's bogus list of 20,000 voters that it claimed were "verified" noncitizen voters actually voted. So that's 5,600 out of 5 million California noncitizens. That'd be 0.1% (if they are noncitizens, which they probably aren't based on DHS's record).
If a check of 200 noncitizens find that 60 of them illegally voted, that is bad. That tells you the level of illegal voting going on, if blue states bothered enforcing the law. Which they refuse to do.
Shipwreckedcrew
@shipwreckedcrew You've got the numbers wrong. I'm not saying Lee is right -- he's not. The 20,000 names are ACTUAL Green Card holders with California addresses with USCIS who match names and addresses with registered voters in California's publicly available voter registration list. DOJ never said they all voted in the past. It only asked California to independently verify their eligibility to register because if they were Green Card holders they are ineligible. It is not exculpatry to say, as LA County has said, "Only 28% have vote." That's actually a confession. 0000.00% should have voted if they are Green Card holders. LA County conceded that 60 out of 200 have a voting history. DOJ/DHS says those 60 are ineligible because they are not citizens.
Calif was ASKED to confirm, and if they can't confirm to set their ballots aside until confirmation of eligibility to vote is determined. I go back and forth between whether your are a liar or just stupid. The 20,000 are "High Confidence" determinations by DHS that they are not citizens. There are tens of thousands more that are "Medium" or "Low" confidence that DOJ did not send. And no one has even broached the subject of illegal aliens who registered when they obtained Driver's Licenses.Speaking of elections: The leftwing NGOs and foreign billionaires have a new caravan of illegals coming just in time for the midterms.
A new migrant caravan consisting of hundreds of Central American migrants departed southern Mexico on Tuesday, with some hoping Democratic victories in November's midterm elections could lead to changes in President Donald Trump's immigration enforcement policies. The group, calling itself "Caravan Without Borders," departed Tapachula, near Mexico's border with Guatemala, with migrants seeking legal status in Mexico or opportunities to continue north toward the United States. Mexican newspaper Milenio initially estimated the caravan at more than 400 people, while Diario del Sur reported that its numbers had grown to approximately 700 after departing Tapachula. Participants reportedly include migrants from Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Haiti, Venezuela and Cuba. Independent journalist Julio Rosas interviewed caravan members who expressed hope that Democrats would win the upcoming midterm elections, potentially signaling a shift in U.S. border enforcement. ... Participants cited economic hardship, limited employment opportunities and lengthy immigration processing delays as reasons for joining the caravan.Weird-- none of those are claims entitling them to asylum. Don't worry, though, once the NGOs' corrupt fraud-on-the-court lawyers tell them the lies they need to tell to make an asylum claim, they'll all claim they're being oppressed by local governments or street gangs.
Some reportedly had previously been deported from the United States and were attempting to return to reunite with family members. ... A separate caravan attempted a similar journey in April but dispersed after Mexican authorities intervened and returned numerous migrants to southern Mexico.
Someone's trying to change the corrupt and absurdly destructive visa lottery, but of course Democrats will filibuster and block it.
Texas GOP Rep. Keith Self introduced a bill Thursday to repeal the State Department's Diversity Immigrant Visa lottery, which offers permanent residency to up to 55,000 applicants annually from countries with lower levels of immigration to the United States. The Trump administration attempted to end the program last year after the alleged perpetrator behind shootings at Brown University and MIT used it to enter the country. The alleged shooter was a Portuguese national. A California judge ruled last week that the administration must reinstate the program, which was created by Congress.
"I wonder who the judge is who made this decision." https://t.co/0LLP55A2OD

Update: The Fifth Circuit has ruled that illegal aliens being removed from the interiror of the country (that is, deported, not turned away at the border) can be detained without bond for the duration of the deportation proceedings.
He also blasts the communist dissenters for claiming that illegal aliens have an unalienable right to "locomotion" -- moving freely as they wish -- post-arrest, while previously voting in favor of no-bond detention of conservatives for speech the communist establishment didn't like. Obviously Democrats desperately want illegal aliens set free after they're caught so they can just run and hide out at a new address.
HUGE: The en banc Fifth Circuit just held, 11-6, that illegal aliens caught in the interior can be detained without bond for the duration of their removal proceedings.

Anyone still think that there aren't tens of millions of illegals and non-citizens voting in every election cycle?
Probably 10 million non-citizens vote just in CA every election.
It's why Democraps will fight absolutely to the ends of death and beyond to stop even the most violent degenerate illegal from being deported. Every deported illegal is one less vote for them.
And no, I don't mean that pedophile sex traffickers from Sinaloa are physically showing up on election day to vote. I do mean that their votes are being counted somehow (harvesting, fake mail-in, etc).

Habeus claims have to be filed in the circuit held, not the circuit picked up. And the 5th rejects like 99% of habeus claims.

Somali translators are at the polling stations in Maine and they are allegedly directing people on how to vote
They are even approaching Somali who don’t ask for a translator. The poll workers are asking them not to help those who don’t request help, but they don’t listen. They approach the voters anyway
First off, of course we have to assume that this is voter fraud and they are directing people on how to vote. I’m sure in some way they are linked to Democrat funded NGOs
But one of the other things is WHY does anyone voting in America need a translator??? What are we even doing in this country
There are also documented videos of NGOs bringing groups of Somali voters to Lewiston City Hall for early voting
It’s going to be rigged

Just some perspective, as I think the Left is sharing strategies around the world.
In UK, one of their biggest hurdles is that the courts ruled that they can not detain someone unless there is reasonable expectation that they will be removed quickly. So the Left created processes that take forever to get through, and then said that no one can be detained because it might take months.
Detainment was a disincentive to illegal entry, as if you got in, got caught, you would just be held. Now, you get in and are set free while the paperwork is dealt with and so more and more try because at worst they get a year in UK before a free trip home. They overwhelmed the system.
They tried that in USA too, and that is why the Left is intent on making detention so hard. Why they fought alligator alcrataz, family separation, etc....

He let so many millions in that we have not yet undone his demographic self-alienation of America. His catastrophic bugout from Afghanistan armed jihadis there and brought others here. The price inflation from the Crony Enrichment Acts he signed will never be reversed, because if nothing else, the Federal Reserve would not allow it out of fear of a deflationary trap; everything is permanently more expensive.

True, only 5th circuit. But that's an important circuit for immigration enforcement, as you point out.
The decision is also yuge because (i) it reversed two earlier district court decisions from activist judges and (ii) an en banc decision from the 5th circuit on an issue of first impression (I think) will be influential going forward.

She was born in Mexico City in 1977.
Nowhere does it say when she entered the U.S., when she became a citizen, nothing.
She just shows up having graduated from Princeton in 1999 and UC Berkeley Law School in 2004. Serves as a ;aw clerk for a feederal judge from 2004 - 2006 and then it's:
From 2017 to 2018, she served as the managing attorney at the Immigrants' Rights Project at Community Legal Services in East Palo Alto, California. From 2018 to 2023, she was the supervising attorney at the National Immigration Law Center.
Before Biden appointed her to the bench in 2022.
She should have been recused as a judge on this case.
No excuse, other than corruption, as to why she was allowed to.

They are doing it in Canada, too.
I've read several articles where judges up there have shortened sentences so the convicted criminals won't trigger the length of sentence which automatically means deportation.

I'm just thinking of the cognitive dissonance here about documentation requirements. No ID to vote? No big deal!
Yet, with my mother's death certificate, we ran into a brief little snag -- SC law requires the full maiden name of my mother's mother. The full names of both parents must be entered.
So I had to do some real digging to find my maternal grandmother's middle name. I found it. "Eldora".

In Oregon, we have 800,000 inactive voter registrations. They print ballots for these imaginary people and send them to ballot filling centers to be filled out for democrats. They are impossible to check because we have vote by mail. It would be difficult to go wait in line, vote and then go back in line and vote 5 or six times because it would be exhausting and there are witnesses; but if a box of 1000 ballots were dropped off at your house, you could easily fill them out and drop them in the mail.
Oregon was the first state to have vote by mail starting back in the 1987. Oregon's last republican governor left office in 1987. Before mail in voting, there were 20 Republican governors to 16 democrats. After vote by mail, it swung 100% democrat.
We don't actually have voting in Oregon. The citizens are given a placebo to give the illusion of voting when in reality, the democrat has already been anointed.
Posted by: Lemmiwinks at October 23, 2026 03:48 PM (mTzaS)
It's several hundred thousand each in a whole bunch of states.
IIRC, 750k in NC, 600k in TX, etc.
And if CA is admitting that at least 30% of ineligible--but legal--residents were registered and are voting?
We're talking 20k minimum ineligible votes were being cast in even red states.
Just how many elections across the country were being swung by ineligible but registered voters?
And remember:
The left has gone to herculean lengths to make it impossible to tell if an ineligible voter had their vote counted.

You are correct. I hate it when people tell me they don't vote because one or two votes never make a difference, every single vote counts both for or against.
We had a school bond issue on the ballot here in NE Texas some years back. It was a huge bond amount $53 million for stuff we did not think the schools needed, the wife and I both voted against it. They tried to claim it would not increase our property taxes because the money we were already paying on an older bond being paid off would go towards paying the newer bond.
It failed by one vote which is unheard of in modern voting. We had people come from all over the state to supervise the recounts, but the results stood.

Now, there is a 5 day clock (with some technical exceptions that didn't apply here) that starts running from the date of death. If a valid death certificate isn't validated by DHEC in 5 days, then fines start accruing to the funeral director/mortician. It starts at $250 and will accrue with every additional day in some increasing scale up to something ridiculous maximum.
What if a person had no middle name, you might ask. That must be explicitly entered. To do so falsely would be a felony. Now, what if the information just can't be found, it's lost to history, you might wonder. Well, an exception request under some Section so-and-so, subparagraph A, clause J must be filed in a timely manner.....
A good faith effort must be made to find the information, which would delay everything for some extended period, etc, etc. And after all that, if DHEC still didn't like it, the big fine would be imposed.

Add this to Ilhan Omar’s growing list of document problems. A photo taken during the October 12 raid on her D.C. home shows a black Camry with Minnesota plates and a Burnsville frame parked in the driveway. The registration tabs on that car expired in 2023.
Omar said in her interview this week that she drives a 2016 Toyota Camry. There’s no public confirmation the car in the photo is registered to her, but the details line up with what she claimed. Given the questions already surrounding her financial disclosures, the winery, and other records, it wouldn’t be surprising if this failure was hers too.
Expired plates on a car sitting at a congresswoman’s home during a federal search isn’t a major crime on its own. It’s just another example of basic paperwork Omar doesn’t seem to keep straight.

Biden Stripped the Visa From a Ukrainian Witness So That He Couldn't Testify to Congress About Burisma and Hunter Biden
Trump is such a corrupt authoritarian you guys.
So once again: We will use the government's power to censor relevant information from the public -- and Congress! -- and we will claim RUSSIAN DISINFORMATION as the pretext. Oh we're definitely not covering up the Biden Crime Family's corruption by contriving a reason to block a witness from testifying about them, no siree bob! We're just fighting RUSSIAN INTERFERENCE, you see.
In the shadows of the 2020 election, the U.S. government revoked a Ukrainian witness' visa and prevented him from testifying in the Senate's probe into alleged Biden family corruption on the basis that he might be spreading Russian disinformation even though its own intelligence showed he was an opponent of Russia and rejected Moscow's overtures, bombshell memos released Thursday show. The documents made public by the White House Government Transparency Task Force are the latest pieces of evidence to chronicle how the FBI, the State Department and other federal bodies sought to suffocate a narrative -- later proven true -- that Hunter Biden had been working for a Ukrainian energy company called Burisma Holdings that was seeking to leverage Vice President Joe Biden's connections to solve its corruption problems. Specifically, the memos show that the FBI and State Department rushed to block former Ukraine embassy aide Andrii Telizhenko's arrival in the United States just as he was to be interviewed by Sens. Ron Johnson and Chuck Grassley in September 2020. Instead of testifying, the Ukrainian government official once trusted by the Obama administration was sanctioned for being painted as a possible unwitting purveyor of Russian smears against the Biden family. The agencies argued that Telizhenko was spreading false claims that Hunter Biden's service on Burisma's board of directors had impacted U.S. policy fighting corruption in Ukraine and that Joe Biden had changed U.S. policy when he withheld $1 billion to force the firing of Ukraine's chief prosecutor who was investigating , the memos show.
... In fact, evidence made public in the years after the 2020 election shows that America's top diplomats in Kyiv in fact believed Hunter Biden's presence on the Burisma board had "undercut" U.S. anti-corruption efforts in Ukraine and that Vice President Biden had overruled career officials' recommendations to give Ukraine the loan guarantees and keep the prosecutor in place. The newly released memos not only show the grounds for claiming Telizhenko spread Russian disinformation may have been erroneous, but also that the officials who would go on to penalize him knew beforehand that the Ukrainian was in fact a vocal opponent of Moscow who had rejected overtures to be recruited by Russian sources.Erroneous? You mean corruptly fraudulent.
There is a possibly related update to this story: Two FBI agents have been arrested for lying about their efforts to derail the investigation into Hunter Biden.
"In 2014 [...] Andrii ((Telizhenko)) was banned from entering Russia due to his involvement in the 2014 Ukrainian revolution and was listed as a spy by the Russian government," an Aug. 2020 FBI memo stated. The same memo shows that Russian officials attempted to recruit Telizhenko, but that he rebuffed them.
FBI Director Kash Patel
@FBIDirectorKash Two former senior FBI officials, Nikki Cole Floris and Bradley Benavides, were taken into custody today on charges of allegedly lying to Congress about their involvement in the FBI’s investigations into Hunter Biden. The charges stem from an ongoing investigation into the since-dissolved FBI Foreign Influence Task Force. Floris led the FITF as a Deputy Assistant Director from mid-2019 through mid-2022. Benavides was the FITF Section Chief from mid-2019 through the 2020 election. Both testified that the FITF was not involved in the Hunter Biden investigations. Documentary evidence, contemporaneous communications, and witness accounts contradict their testimony. Floris is also on record privately claiming to be “running a shadow government” during the 2020 election in her role on the FITF. Lying to Congress by senior FBI officials strikes at the heart of our system. No one is above the law. The FBI has already dismantled the corrupt CR-15 squad that engaged in political weaponization targeting their opponents, including President Trump.
More details from John Sexton:
FLORIS and BENAVIDES are former FBI officials. FLORIS served as the Deputy Assistant Director and functional head of FITF [Foreign Influence Task Force, the FBI's RUSSIAN DISINFORMATION hoax division] from mid-2019 through mid-2022. BENAVIDES served as the Section Chief of FITF from mid-2019 through the 2020 election. Although FITF was originally focused on combating foreign influence by Russia, its scope expanded to include foreign influence by other nation-state actors... As described in detail below, witness accounts and contemporaneous documents from December 2019 through September 2021 show that FLORIS and BENAVIDES knew about and were actively involved in the FBI's investigations of Hunter Biden. FITF hosted classified briefings for the agents and prosecutors on the Hunter Biden case in which FLORIS and BENAVIDES were active participants. In October 2020, both FLORIS and BENAVIDES worked on the FBI's internal and Congressional responses to reporting on the FBI's receipt of Hunter Biden's laptop, with FLORIS receiving, discussing, and passing along updates on the investigations through late 2021. Hunter Biden was a recurring subject at FITF in briefings, emails, instant messages, and meetings, including internal discussion of whether information about him was Russian disinformation. According to an October 2026 interview of FBI Employee 1--who oversaw the Hunter Biden investigations for the FBI's Criminal Division--personnel at FITF including FLORIS and BENAVIDES were in frequent communication with the Hunter Biden case teams. Information flowed in both directions; the case team would send FITF updates on their investigations and FITF would send information to the case team that FITF saw as relevant. According to an October 2026 interview of an FBI Baltimore Assistant Special Agent in Charge (ASAC), herein referred to as FBI Employee 2, the FBI Baltimore Field Office brought the FITF into their investigations of Hunter Biden. FBI Employee 2 confirmed that FLORIS, BENAVIDES, and other members of the FITF had knowledge and awareness of their investigations and details of their investigations, including in relation to Hunter Biden's laptop. ... On October 14, 2020, the New York Post published its story on the Hunter Biden laptop, and both FLORIS and BENAVIDES assisted with the FBI's response to press inquiries the same day. FLORIS and BENAVIDES received an email from the FBI Cyber Division with the subject "Ny post... morning answer?" and a question about whether the FBI had the laptop. The Office of Congressional Affairs also sent them and a FITF Unit Chief, FBI Employee 3, an email titled "SSCI Request -- Hunter Biden Laptop." FLORIS answered that "CID is point on this matter" and copied Criminal Division (CID) management. A Director's Office media coordinator told BENAVIDES that at a tech-industry call that day, "most of the questions were about the news reports about a laptop and Burisma." When a FITF Unit Chief [FBI Employee 4] asked BENAVIDES whether FITF was tracking the laptop coverage, he replied: "Indeed...I've spoken to [initials of FBI Employee 1]," and "I would love to know if a copy exists, and was it provided to anyone...[initials of FBI Employee 1] did not know."And then they claimed that they and the Foreign Influence Task Force were not involved in playing defense for Hunter Biden, under oath.

🚨 NEW: Kaylub Giamanco, the HERO father who TOOK OUT the Bend, Oregon elementary school shooter last week, tells the story for the first time
"I started hearing children PLEADING for their lives. And then I started hearing gunfire and I just started army crawling faster and faster. And I told myself, this is probably the last thing that I'm ever going to do."
"I have to go in. People are going to die."
"I crawled through the bottom window that was shot out and continued onto the rug inside where there's a little breezeway with stairs."
"And then the special needs classroom was to my left. At that point, I was on the ground on my hands and knees. I re-racked my weapon to make sure that a live round came so that I knew that I was ready to go."
"And then I peeked through the window. And at this point I found my opportunity. And I'd seen a teacher on the left struggling with the gunman on the right with the rifle."
"And I knew that they were on both sides of me, and I knew that he did not know that I was there. And so at that point I swung the door out and open and I stepped in and I fired."
This man deserves the Presidential Medal of FREEDOM! 🇺

H-1B is vastly centered in tech, mostly affecting states like Washington and Texas.
Working class care about immigration in general, but the H-1B thing is niche to those more in tech than anything else. So, it's noisy online, but it doesn't seem to matter to vast swaths of the voting public.
Hence Vivek winning the primary, after the H-1B blowup involving him specifically, by 60 points.

Sure, the White House personnel would claim executive privilege, BUT the media couldn't ignore the act anymore. They'd have to report on it.

Vivek is way better than No-Action Acton. He shot himself in the balls over H1B, and he seems clearly to prefer Indians over Americans, but a governor has little control over immigration. So I'm not that worried.
My main beef with him is that I think he's a sleazy conman with no principles who will do or say whatever is necessary to get ahead.
But ... that might not be a bad thing here. He's bold and ambitious. He's a caste-seeker. He's controllable by the electorate or powerful figures up the chain (ie, Trump or possibly JD). So he can be controlled into doing what we want, if he thinks that will get him ahead.

Not selling it. It's true.
>>Democrats accused Johnson and Senate Finance Chairman Chuck Grassley of Iowa, who co-led the report, of relying on Telizhenko despite the fact that he was one of the “known purveyors of Russian disinformation narratives” involving former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden.
https://tinyurl.com/2jz9zpsk
Instead of reporting the truth the media jumped on the side of the Democrats, well they were there already, and echoed that Johnson and Grassley were relying on Russian disinformation about Telizhenko. They even had Telizhenko prominently featured in their report of the whole incident. How many people read it?
I saw Fox cover both of them but just about everything was drowned out by coverage of Trump's idiotic impeachment over the Ukraine phone call and anyone, including Johnson and Grassley, who pushed back were just spreading Russian disinformation.

He let so many millions in that we have not yet undone his demographic self-alienation of America. His catastrophic bugout from Afghanistan armed jihadis there and brought others here. The price inflation from the Crony Enrichment Acts he signed will never be reversed, because if nothing else, the Federal Reserve would not allow it out of fear of a deflationary trap; everything is permanently more expensive.

To Presume to Overrule a State Anti-DEI Executive Order, a, Get This, DEI Judge Uses AI to Write An Opinion Filled With Fake Cases
Huh, a DEI hire resorting to AI to do his homework for him. And all to stop the people from ending DEI practices.
Who could have seen this coming. There is good news: the Appeals Court was so shocked by the complete DEI incompetence on display that they not only reversed him, they kicked him off the case entirely.The decision is a victory for Republican Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch's office, which had argued that US District Judge Henry Wingate's apparent misuse of generative AI tools had compromised the integrity of the judicial process. US Circuit Judge Jerry Smith, writing for the three-judge panel, took Wingate to task for a "botch job" that led to a ruling that contained "sloppy edicts" and "several factual assertions nowhere to be found in the record" and got the law wrong.Really? A DEI judge botching the law and making sloppy mistakes? And using cheaters' tools instead of writing his paper himself? First time we're seeing anything like this. "Few such cases," I would say. This is very harsh: Usually judges protect each other like media hacks protect their fellow guild members. But this appeals panel is absolutely blasting this complete DEI incompetent.
Apparently the DEI judge pretended the law said that students would be banned from discussing race under the law, which is a complete fabrication, either created by himself, his DEI clerk, or "hallucinated" by the AI agent he used to do his homework for him. But... if it was just the AI agent -- did this guy not bother checking the opinion he was going to sign his name to to make sure the cases cited said what the AI said they said, or even existed at all? Apparently not. Gee, Judge Wingate, you're right -- DEI really is super-important and leads to excellence.
"The district court -- or perhaps, being charitable, its AI agent -- ignored and manipulated governing law, apparently to satisfy a policy agenda," Smith wrote. The appeals court laid out detailed instructions for how the new judge should assess the law. It made clear it does not apply to students, and it said that while states have broad power to regulate their own curricula and publicly funded speech, the new judge will need to balance the state's interests against the individual speech rights of teachers and professors.
... The case before the 5th Circuit concerned a challenge by teachers, professors, students and advocacy groups to a law Republican-led Mississippi enacted last year that bars government-run educational institutions from mandating activities like diversity training or promoting DEI. The plaintiffs argued the law violated the US Constitution's First and Fourteenth Amendments, and convinced Wingate to issue a temporary restraining order blocking its implementation. But that order was later found to contain fabricated names and nonexistent legal authorities, prompting scrutiny from Republican Senator Chuck Grassley, the current chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Wingate in a subsequent letter told Grassley that the errors stemmed from a law clerk's unvetted use of the AI platform Perplexity. Even after the errors in that initial order, Wingate continued to block the law by issuing a preliminary injunction. Lawyers for Mississippi argued on appeal that even after Wingate replaced the faulty ruling, the AI-related errors cast doubt on the court's core legal reasoning, and they urged the appeals court to reassign the case. ... But Smith said the case "easily calls for reassignment." He said given the number of errors in Wingate's ruling, the judge might be tempted in future proceedings to want to unjustly find a way "to prove that, even with the correct law and fact, that his initial view should prevail."
This is obviously grounds for impeachment and removal. We'll see if Senate Republicans have the courage and conviction to do the right thing. I doubt they will. Update: From Courthouse news, via Ed Morrissey, more spicy quotes from the smackdown:
The panel ordered that the case be assigned to a different judge on remand, finding that Wingate had based his decision "on impoverished legal analysis that barely paid lip-service to the precedents of the Supreme Court or this court, seeming at times purposely to misconstrue the law by manipulating the words of statutes and cases, without regard to their texts' meaning as a whole." The panel noted factual errors in a temporary restraining order that appeared to be the result of AI hallucinations, including naming plaintiffs and defendants who were not parties to the case, quoting terms that did not actually appear in the act and citing evidence not in the record.So racist, Appeals Court. Be better, Appeals Court. #BeBetter.
With all the examples of Judges tearing into lawyers who use AI slop... now a judge has done it!

This is solid impeachment territory because the stakes are actually really low.
I kind of doubt Johnson brings up articles, and I often talk against impeachment. But, in this case, I hope he does.

(((((On September 29, 2016, the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals removed Wingate as judge from two cases for continued failure to rule upon pending motions. This was not the first time the Court of Appeals had taken notice of Judge Wingate's judicial backlog; in 2010, the higher court criticized him for taking more than six years to issue a final judgment in a civil case.)))))
It would appear that Judge Wingate is kind of lazy. And his CV of two year stints in an entire menagerie of positions suggests that everyone knows it and pass him to someone else almost immediately.

The dirty little secret is the majority of opinions are written by clerks or principal attorneys with little oversight by the judge. The judge might not even "decide" the case so much as ask his clerks to do the research and decide it for him, knowing the clerks will decide the case the way the judge wants.
Same thing at big law firms. I graduated law school and was researching and writing memos and legal briefs on multi-billion dollar cases. The partners rarely if ever read the cases I cited to see if I was correct.
I couldn't believe it then. I still don't now.

And I'm not trying to make a joke:
These cartel judges are just making up what they want the law to say and then cite to the thinnest of authority to justify it.
E.g. someone walking by the White House has standing to stop any renovations.
Some golfers who like the way the course is now, have standing to block any and all landscaping.

His politics may not have played into the decision. Dude is 80 and probably semi-senile and his clerks do all the work.
Federal district judges usually have two clerks. This is an old black judge from Yale so his clerks are almost certainly leftwing DEI hires from leftwing Ivy schools. They wrote the AI opinion, I'll almost guarantee.

To the extent he's paying attention, yes. But he's probably senior status and rarely works at all.
It's an institutional problem in the federal courts that aging judges, many of whom are no longer capable of doing their jobs, are placed on "senior status" so they can technically remain judges on the payroll while doing little if any work.
Corrupt clerks in the filing office will feed these judges only the kinds of cases they want -- or rather, what their law clerks want.

Kerman Mayor Maria Pacheco is accused of following a Fresno hairstylist for about 25 minutes and confronting him because she believed he was an immigration agent, according to complaints filed.
Eric Bridges' attorney said the complaints were submitted Monday to the Fresno Police Department and the Fresno County district attorney’s Public Integrity Unit. They ask authorities to investigate allegations including stalking and false imprisonment. No criminal charges or investigative findings have been announced.
Bridges said the encounter began Oct. 14 near Kearney Park, outside Fresno, when an orange vehicle began following him. He alleged the driver photographed his white Mercedes, blocked him in and continued following him into Fresno, eventually confronting him outside his sister’s home.

The problem with impeachment is the same problem with how Democrats now vote as a block on appointments in the Senate.
It's just far too partisan.
Impeachment is just a partisan question among others, what benefits my side and degrades the other side?
So, you have to find something to convince 14 Democrats (and the recalcitrant GOPers like Mitch, Murkowski, Tillis, Cassidy, and Cornyn) to vote for conviction beyond "this judge is bad at their job". And, no, "this just a partisan hack who's overstepping his bounds and trying to destroy the constitutional order" isn't enough either, because it's all about cui bono.
And we barely impeached judges before this. Like...8 total? In American history?
The real solution is actually to amend the Judicial Acts to impose punishments and limitations in statute. That would just require 60 votes instead of 67. So, slightly less impossible.

There are several things becoming more prevalent in the judiciary. The vast number of clerks graduating from law school are not just completely left wing, they are ignorant, unqualified and not at all well schooled in the law. They don’t write these decisions from a textual understanding or material recitation of the law. They are not formulaic or structured in their thought process, at least not in a traditional legal sense. They are written with an extreme bias in mind which is completely disconnected from actual case law. So you have unqualified, left wing and legally ignorant using AI to reach a predetermined conclusion irrespective of case law, which by the way most of their professors have told them is biased and should be subverted.
This is why your current judiciary, and in the very near future is such a danger to the country. You no longer have lawyers or judges in the traditional sense of the law. You have left wing ideologues projecting their counter factual bias.

I believe the rulebook for the judiciary does give the chief jurist in the circuit authority to limit cases heard by individual judges given bad behavior.
Considering the guy's on senior status, I think the move would effectively force retirement.
But, if we want impeachment to mean...anything ever, especially against judges. Well, you have to start somewhere.

I did get a “fun” response last night. Why will Voyager 2 take longer to reach Sirius than Ross 248, when Sirius is closer to us?
Voyager 2 will take longer to reach Sirius because it is approximately 4.3 light-years away, compared to just 1.7 light-years from Ross 248. This greater distance means it will take about 296,000 years to pass near Sirius, while it will reach Ross 248 in about 40,000 years.
Sirius is not 4.3 light years away; it is double that. Ross 248 is not 1.7 light years away—more like ten. But all of those numbers appear in various web sites such as NASA’s. The AI just put them together into a sentence that answered my question without regard to what the numbers meant. (The 1.7 light years for Ross 248 is how far Voyager 2 will be from Ross 248 at its nearest point.)
(The reason Voyager 2 will “reach” Ross 248 first is that it is more appropriate to say that Ross 248 will reach Voyager 2 first. Both

In an opinion penned by Judge Jerry Smith, a Reagan appointee, the appeals court vacated Reagan-appointed Judge Henry Wingate's preliminary injunction blocking the law and ordered the case reassigned to a different judge — an "extraordinary" and "rarely invoked" move.
"This district judge carelessly exercised his Article III power by issuing sloppy edicts based on falsehoods and fabrications," Smith wrote, adding that "the district court—or perhaps, being charitable, its AI agent—ignored and manipulated governing law, apparently to satisfy a policy agenda."

Maryland Man Uses Sledgehammer to Behead Iwo Jima Statue at the Marines' Quantico Base
A 27-year-old man accused of using a sledgehammer to decapitate a soldier on the Iwo Jima statue and cause extensive damage to the monument at Marine Corps Base Quantico is living in the U.S. illegally, Fox News reports. Fox News congressional correspondent Bill Melugin reported that multiple federal sources confirmed Miguel Alonso Maldonado Soriano is a Mexican national living in the country illegally. Melugin reported that Maldonado Soriano is a former Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals recipient whose legal status expired earlier this year. According to federal sources, Melugin said Maldonado Soriano entered the U.S. illegally in December 1999. He was granted temporary protection under the Obama administration's DACA immigration policy in 2014 and received multiple extensions, most recently from the Biden administration in 2024. Melugin reported that Maldonado Soriano lost his DACA status in August after it was not renewed by the Trump administration. Officers responded around 10:13 p.m. Wednesday to the statue near Richmond Highway and Fuller Road in Quantico, where they found Miguel Alonso Maldonado Soriano, of Stafford, actively damaging the structure, according to police. Maldonado Soriano was quickly detained at the scene. Damage to the monument, which included the removal of one depicted soldier's head along with additional destruction, is estimated in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, police say. Maldonado Soriano was arrested and charged with felony destruction of property, trespassing with intent to damage property, and felony injury to a monument.So which is this one -- a Doctor or an Engineer? Virginia is a sanctuary state now that the "moderate" CIA Wine-Aunt was elected to the governor's mansion. The leftwing lunatic and Soros DA Steve Descano of Fairfax County continues treating actual American citizens more harshly than illegal aliens, because he doesn't want to convict any illegal aliens of crimes for which they may be deported.
Just some light "consensual" sex with a minor. And note this was a plea -- the actual charge was sexual assault. Involuntary sex with a child.
The Fairfax County Sheriff's Office in Virginia ignored at least 1,670 immigration detainers from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement between 2023 and 2025, releasing criminal illegal immigrants back into the community instead of transferring them to federal custody, according to a new House Judiciary Committee report. The interim staff report -- obtained by Fox News before its noon Tuesday release by the committee's Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security and Enforcement -- also accuses Fairfax County Commonwealth's Attorney Steve Descano of treating illegal immigrant defendants differently from similarly situated American citizens to limit their immigration consequences. "This interim report provides evidence of the ways in which just one local jurisdiction has implemented policies that allow dangerous foreign nationals to reoffend and avoid deportation," the report, issued under House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement Chair Tom McClintock, R-Calif., concluded.
"But Fairfax County and prosecutor Steve Descano are not outliers. They are indicative of a modern, radical, socialist Democrat Party that seeks to erase national borders and place illegal alien criminals ahead of law-abiding American citizens," the report added. "The policies supported by these Democrats, including sanctuary policies, will have negative and lasting consequences for Americans. The Committee and Subcommittee will continue to conduct oversight of these sanctuary policies to inform potential legislative reforms to better protect American communities." The committee said a preliminary review of more than 1,100 criminal cases identified more than 100 previously unreported illegal immigrants who benefited from Descano's prosecutorial decisions. The report said Descano's office rarely pursued charges against illegal immigrants accused of crimes including driving under the influence, felony drug possession, felony grand larceny, shoplifting, fraud, trespassing, destruction of property and assaulting a law enforcement officer. The committee accused Descano's office of "de facto" decriminalizing some offenses and said most of the defendants reviewed went on to reoffend, in some cases escalating to violent crimes and murder. The report, titled "Fairfax County, Virginia: The dangerous consequences of sanctuary policies," also alleges that Descano misled Congress about the scope of his policies. "The Biden-Harris Administration worked to weaken the first Trump Administration's efforts to hold sanctuary jurisdictions accountable for undermining immigration enforcement," the report read. "In addition to dropping federal litigation relating to sanctuary jurisdictions' policies, the Biden-Harris Administration's Justice Department, beginning in April 2021, no longer required jurisdictions to cooperate with ICE as a condition of receiving federal grant funding."
During testimony before the committee in May, Descano said his policy was "written with legal permanent residents in mind for minor crimes." But in a September letter, the committee said Descano acknowledged that prosecutors could consider immigration consequences in cases involving illegal immigrants as well. Descano's campaign website previously stated that when "possible," his office would "make charging and plea decisions that limit or avoid immigration consequences." He also argued that "if two people commit the same crime, but only one's punishment includes deportation, that's a perversion of justice and not a reflection of the values of Fairfax County. The committee cited numerous cases in which it said criminal defendants benefited from reduced or dismissed charges. In one example, prosecutors allegedly reduced felony charges involving the sexual assault of a child to misdemeanor "consensual sex with a child" and offered a 90-day suspended jail sentence.
... One case involved Marvin Morales-Ortez, an alleged MS-13 member whose charges were dropped before the Fairfax County Sheriff's Office released him in December 2025. The report said Morales-Ortez allegedly murdered a man in Reston, Virginia, one day later. ... The report highlighted the case of Stephanie Minter, who was fatally stabbed in February. The suspect, Abdul Jalloh, is an illegal immigrant with more than 40 prior charges in Fairfax County. The committee said Descano's office had dropped charges against Jalloh in almost every case and that police warned prosecutors before the killing that "it is not a question of if, but rather when [Jalloh] will maliciously wound -- or worse -- again." Cheryl Minter, Stephanie's mother, told the committee that "a system failed my daughter." "When policies protect people who are a known threat, innocent lives are put at risk," she said. "When warnings are ignored, families like mine pay the price."
NEW: Multiple federal sources confirm to @FoxNews that the suspect arrested for using a sledgehammer to behead a WW2 Iwo Jima monument in Quantico, VA on Tuesday is a Mexican illegal alien & former DACA recipient whose legal status expired this year.
Miguel Alonso Maldonado Soriano has now been charged with felony destruction of property and trespass with intent to damage property. Per federal sources, Soriano illegally crossed into the U.S. in December 1999. He was granted DACA by the Obama administration in 2014 and had it extended for years, most recently by the Biden admin in 2024, but he lost his DACA status in August of this year when it wasn’t renewed by the Trump administration.— Bill Melugin (@BillMelugin_) October 23, 2026

"By ‘Fascism’ they mean, roughly speaking, something cruel, unscrupulous, arrogant, obscurantist, anti-liberal and anti-working-class. Except for the relatively small number of Fascist sympathizers, almost any English person would accept ‘bully’ as a synonym for ‘Fascist’.

Retardo it's impossible they commit the same crime because being in the country is illegal thus one has committed a different crime that requires deportation.

Not that he actually did any thinking in saying that, but IIRC elective abortion was banned both by the Taliban and the Northern Alliance. I think it is illegal under the PA and Hamas as well

His solution is to give the illegal no punishment at all while actually punishing the native.

Buchanan County, VA.
Turnout statewide in the 2025 election was about 58%.
Buchanan? 38%.
It's a small county, but rurals don't turn out. It's a tiny county whose biggest city is about 800 people, but it's R+36 on PVI. Total population is about 18,000.
It's one of about 3 dozen small rurals that could have had 80% turnout because they hated Democrats so much but instead had below average turnout instead.
How do you move a population like that organizationally (not excusing the VAGOP, they seem to suck, but this is a real issue) when the central population hub is 800 people?

It'd work better than almost anything else.
But, the problem is ultimately cultural. They just don't consider voting very important. They live in the sticks. Their government is their local sheriff. The governor for most of them might as well be in a different state or country.
To address it is a generational issue, not one fixed with a quick promise of $5,000 tax rebates.

It's observable in TX, mostly places with high profile senate elections.
I've been saying this for months, but the only way to juice turnout in a midterm is to have a federal senate election in your state. Otherwise, turnout crashes.
You need self-starting behavior to get people to turn out for everything else. Or, such a detailed, expansive GOTV effort that you're going door to door in places where doors are miles apart.

"BUT IT'S COST OF LIVING!"
Yes, they would be turning out more. It would be animating them.
Gas prices do not, never have, and never will predict elections.
It's like wanting special elections to predict the next general. There's history upon history upon history showing that no, they don't have predictive power.
But year after year, "Oh, sure, maybe they've never been predictive before, but this year is totally happening."
Gas prices were actually higher under Biden and under Obama (adjusted for inflation) and neither saw serious punishment for gas prices.
If gas prices killed the party in power, Democrats would have lost California 20 years ago.

But all of this is really the same thing. The populace and its elected reps just can't bestir themselves to do anything. Not as a whole, or a working majority. The vile degraded institutions ("courts") complete the picture mostly made up of accountable officials whom the electorate never holds to account.

In the largest political earthquake in modern American history (down to county level), 2010, I believe exactly one incumbent in CA was booted. One deceased incumbent was re-elected as well.
This is how dead the state is. It's bizarre. Gas prices here should resemble those in TX. CA is an oil-rich state that formerly had a substantial % of American refining capacity. Both things, of course, dramatically damaged or limited, while an idiotic public looks on, sucking its thumb.

We all have times where we're tired or don't feel well or are under stress where things don't come out as we might like, but she does this repeatedly. I think it's racist of white Dems to promote her simply because she's black . I expect that were she alive today, the black poet ( since the last thread was talking about poets) and former slave, Phyllis Wheatley, would be a better candidate for public office than Kamala.

I maintain the elections in Cali are so fucked there's no way to know what the electorate actually is, and that's why they're sweating about Trump's threats to arrest the election officials. Sort of like how Miami was assumed to be a deep blue city until DeSantis supervised their elections with a microscope and suddenly it wasn't.

Unless polling firms as bad as Fox News have figured out how to address the massive issue of reaching rural voters that has affected the entire industry for at least a decade (and gotten worse) and is particularly bad in Maine (Collins lost every single poll in 2020 and won by 8, a swing of 16 points from the hallowed RCP average) and got it bang on and this is totally just a tied race.

Yes, the polling where "cost of living" is about 30% of the main issue.
That 30% is Democrats saying, "holy shit...things are suddenly really expensive!" after acting like prices weren't changing under Biden.
Democrats settled on the campaign message, and that 30% number is just proof that it's going nowhere outside their bubble.

Good morning, all. Ready for another twist on Ilhan?
From the internet: Somali tattletales say she is not the daughter of Nur Said Elmi either. She IS the daughter of SIAD BARRE, the former dictator. Elmi took her in, then proceeded with the name changes to "Omar" that added yet another layer of identity fraud on Ilhan.
Let's see what the DNA evidence says. She might not have married her brother after all!
However, Barre's two actual kids, Ayanla and Deka, are living in Ohio, where some local Somalis have called for investigations of them.

The sneer is gone from Casey's lip, his teeth are clenched in hate;
He pounds with cruel violence his bat upon the plate.
And now the pitcher holds the ball, and now he lets it go,
And now the air is shattered by the force of Casey's blow. Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright;
The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light,
And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout;
But there is no joy in Mudville - mighty Casey has struck out.
The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere
In my early adult years, before I started re-reading American history, I had already forgotten much of what I had learned about the American Revolution. But I never forgot about the midnight ride of Paul Revere, because my classmates and I had to read and recite Longfellow’s “Paul Revere’s Ride” in school. That is the power of telling a story by poem or song.Listen, my children, and you shall hear
Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere,
On the eighteenth of April, in Seventy-Five:
Hardly a man is now alive
Who remembers that famous day and year.---------------------------------------------------- One if by land, and two if by sea;
And I on the opposite shore will be,
Ready to ride and spread the alarm
Through every Middlesex village and farm,
For the country-folk to be up and to arm.
Robert Service Robert Service’s poetry is very frequently about tough men fighting to survive in harsh conditions, especially the arctic north. I first discovered his poetry on a whiskey sign, of all places. I was at a college party and there was a metal Yukon Jack sign hanging on the wall inscribed with these lines from “The Heart of the Sourdough.”
I have clinched and closed with the naked North,It made me want to learn more about Mr. Service, so I bought a book of his poems at a mall book store. Robert Service’s most famous poem is The Cremation of Sam McGee.” It tells the tale of a Tennessee boy who is gold mining in the Yukon and succumbing to the cold. His dying wish is to be cremated upon his death so that his body may finally know warmth again. (It is regrettable that the meaning of the word “queer” was appropriated for other meanings since this poem was written in 1907.) Here are the opening lines:
I have learned to defy and defend;
Shoulder to shoulder we have fought it out
Yet the Wild must win in the end.
There are strange things done in the midnight sunIn closing, here are a few paragraphs from that David Marcus piece I referenced: “Why We Must Make Poetry Manly Again.” I encourage you to read the whole thing.
By the men who moil for gold;
The Arctic trails have their secret tales
That would make your blood run cold;
The Northern Lights have seen queer sights,
But the queerest they ever did see
Was that night on the marge of Lake Lebarge
I cremated Sam McGee.
Throughout English-speaking history, up until about 50 years ago, there had always been men famous in their day for writing beautiful poetry, from William Shakespeare, to Lord Byron, to Robert Frost. Yet, sadly today, our society does not see the poet as a manly figure at all. This erasure of male voices in poetry was not an accident. Like so many of our society’s woes, it was created by a leftist elite in the academy and publishing who thought that women’s voices had been too long ignored, and men’s too widely celebrated. Suddenly, over the past year, we have seen a slew of articles and think pieces asking, what happened to the literary man? What happened, more or less, was a disastrous decision to tell young men there is nothing masculine about literature, and especially not about poetry.Real men read history, literature, and poetry. It’s time for some new artistic channels to open up for modern poetry containing rhyme, meter, and testosterone. [buck.throckmorton at protonmail dot com]---------------------------------------------------- You want to raise a good son? Give him Kipling for backbone, Yeats for heart, Eliot for wisdom, and Frost for common sense, and he will be fooled by nothing in this world.

Kipling
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too:
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream---and not make dreams your master;
If you can think---and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same:
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build'em up with worn-out tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings,
And never breathe a word about your loss:
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings---nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much:
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And---which is more---you'll be a Man, my son!

Through all the wide Border his steed was the best;
And save his good broadsword, he weapons had none,
He rode all unarmed, and he rode all alone.
So faithful in love, and so dauntless in war,
There never was knight like the young Lochinvar.
He stayed not for brake, and he stopped not for stone,
He swam the Esk river where ford there was none;
But, ere he alighted at Netherby gate,
The bride had consented, the gallant came late:
For a laggard in love, and a dastard in war,
Was to wed the fair Ellen of brave Lochinvar.
So boldly he entered the Netherby Hall,
Among bride’s-men, and kinsmen, and brothers, and all:
Then spoke the bride’s father, his hand on his sword,
(For the poor craven bridegroom said never a word,)
‘O come ye in peace here, or come ye in war,
Or to dance at our bridal, young Lord Lochinvar?’

By the Nine Gods he swore it, and named a trysting day,
And bade his messengers ride forth,
East and West and South and North,
To summon his array.
East and West and South and North the messengers ride fast,
And tower and town and cottage have heard the trumpet's blast.

From many a stately market-place, from many a fruitful plain;
From many a lonely hamlet which, hid by beech and pine
Like an eagle's nest hangs on the crest of purple Apennine;
From lordly Volaterrae, where scowls the far-famed hold
Piled by the hands of giants for god-like kings of old;
From sea-girt Populonia, whose sentinels descry
Sardinia's snowy mountain-tops fringing the southern sky;
From the proud mart of Pisae, queen of the western waves,
Where ride Massilia's triremes, heavy with fair-haired slaves;
From where sweet Clanis wanders through corn and vines and flowers;
From where Cortona lifts to heaven her diadem of towers.
Tall are the oaks whose acorns drop in dark Auser's rill;
Fat are the stags that champ the boughs of the Ciminian hill;
Beyond all streams Clitumnus is to the herdsman dear;
Best of all pools the fowler loves the great Volsinian mere.

No hunter tracks the stag's green path up the Ciminian hill;
Unwatched along Clitumnus grazes the milk-white steer;
Unharmed the water fowl may dip in the Volsinian mere.
The harvests of Arretium, this year, old men shall reap;
This year, young boys in Umbro shall plunge the struggling sheep;
And in the vats of Luna, this year, the must shall foam
Round the white feet of laughing girls whose sires have marched to Rome.

Who always by Lars Porsena both morn and evening stand:
Evening and morn the Thirty have turned the verses o'er,
Traced from the right on linen white by mighty seers of yore;
And with one voice the Thirty have their glad answer given:
"Go forth, go forth, Lars Porsena! Go forth, beloved of Heaven!
Go, and return in glory to Clusium's round dome,
And hang round Nurscia's altars the golden shields of Rome."
And now hath every city sent up her tale of men;
The foot are fourscore thousand; the horse are thousands ten.
Before the gates of Sutrium is met the great array.
A proud man was Lars Porsena upon the trysting day.
For all the Tuscan armies were ranged beneath his eye,
And many a banished Roman, and many a stout ally;
And with a mighty following to join the muster came
The Tusculan Mamilius, Prince of the Latian name.
But by the yellow Tiber was tumult and affright:
From all the spacious champaign to Rome men took their flight.
A mile around the city the throng stopped up the ways:
A fearful sight it was to see through two long nights and days
For aged folks on crutches, and women great with child,
And mothers sobbing over b

And darkly looked he at the wall, and darkly at the foe.
"Their van will be upon us before the bridge goes down;
And if they once might win the bridge, what hope to save the town?"
Then out spoke brave Horatius, the Captain of the Gate:
"To every man upon this earth, death cometh soon or late;
And how can man die better than facing fearful odds,
For the ashes of his fathers, and the temples of his Gods,
"And for the tender mother who dandled him to rest,
And for the wife who nurses his baby at her breast,
And for the holy maidens who feed the eternal flame,
To save them from false Sextus, that wrought the deed of shame?
"Hew down the bridge, Sir Consul, with all the speed ye may!
I, with two more to help me, will hold the foe in play.
In yon strait path, a thousand may well be stopped by three:
Now, who will stand on either hand and keep the bridge with me?'

With shield and blade Horatius right deftly turned the blow.
The blow, yet turned, came yet too nigh;
It missed his helm, but gashed his thigh:
The Tuscans raised a joyful cry to see the red blood flow.
He reeled, and on Herminius he leaned one breathing-space;
Then, like a wild-cat mad with wounds, sprang right at Astur's face.
Through teeth, and skull, and helmet so fierce a thrust he sped,
The good sword stood a hand-breadth out behind the Tuscan's head.
And the great Lord of Luna fell at that deadly stroke,
As falls on Mount Alvernus a thunder-smited oak.
Far o'er the crashing forest the giant arms lay spread;
And the pale augurs, muttering low, gaze on the blasted head.
On Astur's throat Horatius right firmly pressed his heel,
And thrice and four times tugged amain, ere he wrenched out the steel.
"And see," he cried, "the welcome, fair guests, that waits you here!
What noble Lucumo comes next to taste our Roman cheer?"

His latest topic? Is the modern interpretation of the 2nd Amendment wrong because the founders couldn't have understood repeating firearms?
And...he goes into the history of firearms and how they already had repeating firearms at the time the 2nd Amendment was written and that the founders would certainly have understood what they were, how they worked, and the likelihood that in the future they would become more common.
After Bell spent two minutes demolishing the "founders didn't understand the future man" argument the first leftist comment is..."Well ok fine, but they couldn't have understood the industrial revolution would mean anyone could have a fire arm in the future"

Tis an answer, found in the linen
I search my mind, I search my pants
What do I find- perchance?
I find a pecker that’s not cut off.
A perfect gash with nothing sewn on
That tells me all I need to know
I ain’t no tranny, no homo
But just a man, who is fully intact
Or a woman with vagina and reproductive tract
And only the dumb, the ignorant or lame
Would find a way to doubt my claim
So when in doubt, just reach in you pants
Don't listen to the sycophants
The answer is there within your hands
Or perhaps on your chest in mammary glands

The Puckle gun is a tripod-mounted, single-barreled flintlock weapon fitted with a manually operated revolving cylinder; Puckle advertised its main application as an anti-boarding gun for use on ships. The barrel was 3 feet (0.91 m) long with a bore of 1.25 inches (32 mm). The cylinder held 6 to 11 shots depending on configuration, and was hand-loaded with powder and shot while detached from the weapon.

Yeah, they are willfully obtuse on this, as in so many other things.
One thing they cannot get is that the power balance was intentionally made so that it favored the people vs the government. The Founders were terrified by the history of almost all governments. The more powerful the government, the more tyranny. As one prof in college put it 'Sam Addams was one of these guys who saw tyranny climbing in through the windows.' He saw that as kind of a joke, but it is actually real.
THEY see a power balance favoring the individual as opposed top the government as bad because they see themselves as part of the government, being able to make others do what they want. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THE FOUNDERS WERE TRYING TO FORESTALL.

And it's not for the sake of a ribboned coat,
Or the selfish hope of a season's fame,
But his Captain's hand on his shoulder smote --

The sand of the desert is sodden red, --
Red with the wreck of a square that broke; --

And the regiment blind with dust and smoke.

At ten paces you can’t hear our words.

the ten thick worms his fingers,
his words like measures of weight,
the huge laughing cockroaches on his top lip,
the glitter of his boot-rims.
Ringed with a scum of chicken-necked bosses
he toys with the tributes of half-men.
One whistles, another meows, a third snivels.
He pokes out his finger and he alone goes boom.
He forges decrees in a line like horseshoes,
One for the groin, one the forehead, temple, eye.
He rolls the executions on his tongue like berries.
He wishes he could hug them like big friends from home.

Unlike in the poem, these signals weren’t intended for Revere. They were a redundancy that allowed for communication with allies outside Boston in the event that Revere (and all other messengers) failed to leave the city undetected. Because Revere and Dawes both made it to Lexington, the system ended up being unnecessary.

Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here
What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

Tyger Tyger, burning bright, In the forests of the night.
What immortal hand or eye, Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
In what distant deeps or skies, Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire? What the hand, dare seize the fire?
And what shoulder, & what art, Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat, What dread hand & what dread feet?
What the hammer? what the chain, In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? what dread grasp, Dare its deadly terrors clasp?
When the stars threw down their spears
And watered heaven with their tears:
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the Lamb make thee?
Tyger Tyger burning bright,
In the forests of the night.
What immortal hand or eye,

Glued to the dashboard of my car,

Glows in the dark, He's Pink and Pleasant,
Take Him with you when you're travelling far
You can buy a Sweet Madonna
Dressed in rhinestones sitting on a
Pedestal of abalone shell
Goin' ninety, I'm not wary
'Cause I've got my Virgin Mary
Guaranteeing I won't go to Hell
I don't care if it bumps or jostles
Long as I got the Twelve Apostles
Bolted to the dashboard of my car
Don't I have a pious mess

One interpretation is that the non-fake polling companies have added normal Dem levels of fraud into their sauce and the discord between the early results and polls is simply the fraudsters are afraid or have ditched some easier to catch methods.
But indeed, whatever the polls say, whatever social media says, whatever your friends say vote.
One point I've been making to my social circle is that if you liked Bidenomics with 10%+ inflation and high gas prices you should vote D. If you are mad about gas prices voting D will do NOTHING to lower them and that amusingly a strong showing in the mid terms for the Rs almost certainly ends the Iran war...

Thy sharp repulse which pricketh aye so sore
Hath taught me to set in trifles no store
And search forth! Since liberty is lever
Therefore, farewell. Go trouble younger hearts

Former FBI officials Nikki Cole Floris and Bradley Benavides, according to the DOJ, falsely denied involvement in the investigations into former President Joe Biden’s son when speaking to Congress. Both surrendered Friday on arrest warrants, according to the DOJ. "Lying to Congress by anyone strikes at the heart of our democratic system, but when senior FBI agents lie to Congress believing they are above the law, it’s time to bring the hammer of justice down on them," U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro said of the charges.

-get the guard mobilized and after they are in it, they will just follow whatever orders you give them?
-or do they really believe their own copy?
-or are they doing this to show how much they believe in what they are saying so when they scream the election is stolen, people will believe them?

By hands that worked and hearts that bent.
By words unspoken, promises kept,
And the tears they buried where no one wept.
I learned that strength was more than might,
More than a fist or winning a fight.
It’s standing firm when the world turns cold,
And keeping your honor when your pride is sold.

Whence all but he had fled;
There's a funny bit in one of the Swallows and Amazons books referencing that poem. The "Amazon" sisters' great-aunt comes to visit, and to try and prevent them from rollicking about as is their wont, she demands they learn a poem and be ready to recite it in a few days. With a nod and a wink, their uncle suggests "Casablanca" ... knowing that the sisters already know the poem by heart. Great-aunt agrees, and thus the Amazons are free to go adventuring for a while, great-aunt none the wiser.

And there's way too much gay stuff in the newer books, even books written by guys who should know better. I'm not anti-gay, but I just think that every book doesn't need to have a gay couple or two that are thrown in gratuitously with no real connection to the story.
Finally, I am completely sick of authors who use "they" as a singular pronoun. Sometimes it gets confusing and makes it difficult to determine how may people are being discussed.

Mid-Morning Art Thread
René François Ghislain Magritte Surrealism is a particularly obnoxious art movement, in part because some of its adherents have only the barest artistic skill, and partly because surrealism is an excuse to take the mundane and inject in it ridiculous extremes of thought. Sometimes a cigar really is just a cigar! Thankfully Magritte had artistic skill...the dude could paint! And his subjects are often clever and interesting rather than just chosen to hide lack of technical skill. But the other part? Yes, the subject is interesting and clever, but it is a stretch to suggest that it speaks to the human condition. It may very well speak to Magritte's condition, but to universalize it is pompous and arrogant.

Instead of looking at a painting of a view through a window, we'll look at a painting of a painting of a view through a window positioned directly in lieu of the same view through the same window.
I think that's what Magritte was going for, more or less. Title is still arrogant, but perhaps not too inaccurate.

The Surreal Killer - a limerick
Magritte's style of painting is a treasure
Giving viewers of his art a bit of pleasure
With perspective slightly skewed
This is what he might have viewed
If he'd lived across the street from M.C. Escher!

Surrealism is more dream-like, disconnected pieces of reality sewn together, things that are impossible in reality but possible in dreams, with dream logic & imagery attached.

René Magritte, Artist, Belgian, 1898 - 1967
National Gallery of Art, discussed this painting.
In part, Two of Magritte's favored themes were the "window painting" and the "painting within a painting." The Human Condition is one of Magritte's earliest treatments of either subject, and in it he combines the two, making what may be his most subtle and profound statement of their shared meaning."
Ending with, "Both are part of the same painting, the same artistic fabrication. It is perhaps to this repeating cycle, in which the viewer, even against his will, sees the one as real and the other as representation, that Magritte's title makes reference."
Also published in 1933, La Condition humaine (Man's Fate) is a 1933 French novel by André Malraux that won the Prix Goncourt.
It's about the "failed communist insurrection and resultant massacre in Shanghai in 1927, and the existential quandaries facing a diverse group of people associated with the revolution. Along with Les Conquérants (1928 – "The Conquerors") and La Voie Royale (1930 – "The Royal Way"), it forms a trilogy on revolution in Asia." (Wikipedia)
Interesting lessons.

There's a faint straight line running from the white pole to the brown object, so it's not really floating. But the line (a wire?) does not look strong enough to support anything without sagging, so it might as well be floating.

Art historians and peers frequently debate whether Dalí’s dramatic shift from revolutionary communism to devout Catholic monarchism was born out of genuine spiritual conviction, or if it was a calculated, opportunistic move to secure safety, financial prosperity, and state protection under the Franco regime.

Rep. Ilhan Omar filed documents with Congress saying her wealth was between $6 million and $30 million. Now she says that was a mistake, and her wealth is actually between $18,000 and $95,000. That's quite a difference.

It's October. It was a punch in the mouth. It was gutterly emotional. Her own mother cutting an ad against her.
Countering that with, "Well, there are court document proving that their relationship was fraught with abuse," may convince a handful of persuadables that the attack ad was in bad taste.
But it's nothing compared to the number of people who won't hear it and go, "This Acton lady seems bad."
That's negative political advertising. That's how it's supposed to work.
And we complain about how Republicans never fight dirty, going Queensbury rules when Democrats refuse to play fair.

The Morning Report — 10/23 /26
Now there's this, from a criminal bound to be identified in the press as a 'Virginia man.' QUANTICO, Va. (7News) — A 27-year-old man was arrested Wednesday after police said they found him using a sledgehammer to smash an Iwo Jima statue in Quantico, Virginia.
. . . Why was this monument of all monuments targeted? Why was this history targeted? Why was he able to do hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage, as authorities have said. What kind of human garbage would openly do it right at the site of the Marine headquarters? Is nothing sacred? . . . Only someone with absolutely no respect for the U.S. nor respect for the sacrifices these men made would do this. Only someone who hates this country and has no roots in it. The lowlife has not been identified as illegal alien at this point, but there are signs he may be one in illegal-rich Prince William County, which hosts 34,000 illegal aliens, only 470 of whom have been arrested in the past year. Forty-five percent of them are from El Salvador.
And that brings us to the comparison portion of the show, and as if to illustrate the cancer metastasizing in our formerly sacred society I give you a debasement on the aforementioned that sprang from within who debases the name of a man who, for whatever his faults may be for sure epitomizes what our immigration policy and aims ought to be tailored to and for. Apologies in advacnce.
On Thursday’s broadcast of MS NOW’s “The Last Word,” Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) stated that the Trump administration “reviles immigrants” and Elon Musk is “an immigrant who came in, who never really inhaled the real values of our country. … He’s got no real interest in the values of our country, in equal protection and due process and the First Amendment and representative government.”The projection is just off the charts. As I stated before inflicting this radioactive dog turd on you, Elon Musk epitomizes American greatness and what our immigrant experience was, long ago and far away, and now in our imaginations and memories only. Jamie Raskin is worse than the cancer infecting him. Well, as he blasts away at a true patriot, not even a peep about this:
A local ABC affiliate reported on Wednesday that the FBI had arrested a 17-year-old resident of McKinney for planning to kill Rep. Keith Self, R-Texas, at an event earlier this month. The Texas congressman is a member of the House Freedom Caucus and co-founder of the Sharia-Free America Caucus, which seeks to bring “attention to concerns surrounding Sharia [law] and its incompatibility with the principles enshrined in the United States Constitution.”Should Raskin live long enough for the Mamdanis, El-Sayeds and Bro-Fo Omar Nur-Saids (or whatever her nom du jour may be) to take over America, I hope I draw my last breath after seeing them slice his puppet head off with a rusty hacksaw because the insult to injury of Judaism and every decent American was that this shitstain on humanity was, by an unfortunate quirk of fate, spawned of Jewish parents.
Thank goodness we have real patriots on our side!
Neil Bush, the brother of former President George W. Bush and son of former President George H.W. Bush, said Tuesday that he voted for Democrat James Talarico in the Texas Senate race while criticizing President Trump and “those who have enabled him” for causing “enormous damage to the Republican Party.” . . . “But character matters more than party affiliation,” he wrote. “Our democracy depends on leaders who respect our institutions, tell the truth, accept accountability, and seek to unite rather than divide.” Character matters? Oh my. This from the ‘Hunter Biden’ of the Bush family. . . . Chinese oligarch’s company with ties to George W. Bush’s brother plunges in value Neil Bush, the brother of former President George W. Bush, sits on the company’s board as deputy chairman. Neil Bush’s ties to Chinese-owned companies have drawn public scrutiny and once landed a super PAC supporting his brother Jeb Bush in hot water. In August, the company chairman, Hui Chi Ming, was charged with physically assaulting a Hong Kong-based British man in March of this year. Hui was also charged with criminal damage for smashing the British man’s cellphone. Character matters!Well if Raskin doesn't make you vomit like a wino with the DTs that should do the trick nicely. On these and all the rest of the unmitigated dreck, and nugget or two of relative sanity if not actual positivity, I truly hope you all have a great weekend.

“One month ago, I sat down with President Lula to discuss how government serving poor and working people. Weeks later, Brazil took a historic step: a 40-hour workweek, at least two days off and no cuts to pay for more than 30 million workers,” Mamdani wrote.
Because some poor Brazilian guy in Sao Paulo living in a shack next to a freeway overpass is really going to make up his mind based on what the Ugandan-Indian hizzoner of NYC thinks about who should run his country?
I like how Mamdani is kind-sorta patting himself on the back for something that had zero to do with him.

Since you brought this up. And this is a very touchy subject. Help me to understand. Jews are over-represented in the high skill, high competency, high compensation professions. My lawyers, doctors and accountants are all Jewish because of their competency and professionalism.
Ethnic Jews are also over represented as absolute shit politicians to the point that as far as hostility to Christianity, Western Civilization and the US Constitution the level of hatred and destruction is indistinguishable from Mamdanis, El-Sayeds and Bro-Fo Omar Nur-Saids.
There is no way that Bloomenthal, Schumer, Slotkin, Frey, Mayorkas, Schiff, Ossoff, Sanders, Wyden, Spanberger, et al are compatible with the founding principals of The United States and have worked with the Mamdanis, El-Sayeds and Bro-Fos to actively seek this country and this culture's total destruction.
This isn't about picking on ethnic Jews, this demographic is typically over-achieving. Why the hatred by those in politics?

Periodically I go to slash dot to see what tech lunatics are on about. There was an article about the UN decreeing that we are on the cusp of no return on "climate change" the entire comments section was eaten up wit Trump derangement.
Why?
Apparently he and the US are solely responsible for all of the earths CO2 emissions.
And the price of Diesel is high, which leftest want through taxation but that money is not being taxed properly and we also need to not be using Diesel and Trump is preventing the world from not using Diesel but also responsible for it being high, and for not investing in alternative energy, but the price of the thing they don't want us to use is high and we need it to make the things that don't work....

I've lived in blue states my entire life, only voted for two Donks in my entire voting history, I may have missed an election in the past 40 years, but if I did, nothing really comes to mind.
I think there is too large a block of nominal Republicans/Conservatives in nominal GOP/Conservative states that just take sh*t for granted and that the GOP candidate will win.

Same here in rural NE Texas. Way more people than I normally see in early voting and we are an extremely deep red county. During the primaries the democrats don't even set up and man a voting station. If a democrat comes in to vote during the primary they have to call someone in to help them.

On this day in 1940, Hitler met with Francisco Franco at Hendaye to try to fix terms by which Spain would enter the war on the Axis side. The meeting, at which Franco made vague promises and inordinate demands, was a flat failure. Hitler later said he'd rather have three or four teeth pulled than go through that again.
Had Mussolini been as shrewd as Franco and remained non-belligerent (as he should have), he would have helped Hitler more than by messing about in the Balkans and Africa, needing to be bailed out and eventually having Italy invaded.

Apparently, I have learned some stuff from the less.
Anyways...
This was interesting though from GatewayPundit.
I actually did see a bit of MSNow in Texas. It made me laugh. For them, I'm sure it was like a Star Trek away mission in a totally foreign environment. Apparently it was.
"If you listen to Democrats, the media, and polling firms, you might believe that Texas is about to turn bright blue. Yet if you spend any time with actual Texans, you probably have a very different view.
This is what happened to Katy Tur of MSNOW. She recently said on the air that she has become ‘skeptical’ about midterm polling in Texas after she spent some time on the ground in the state.
Tur even went so far as to wonder if pollsters are just reporting what they think people want to hear"
Gee, ya think....

I hadn’t realized the jiggery-pokery that the Brits employed at the time. They were against a cross channel invasion in France right up to June of ‘44, American planners were always concerned with Churchill reneging on his promises of cooperation and insisting on the invasion through Italy or the Balkans. Gen. Montgomery was a real piece of work as well. It was not all sweetness and light betwixt the Allies. The propaganda at the time revolved around the U.S.A. saving England’s colonies, and making the world safe for Communism.

The key part is Democrat governors acting to end public order, and to promote rioting. Will that happen?
======================
DataRepublican’s reporting on documents and recordings from the Democratic Socialists of America and allied networks lays out a calculated strategy for the run-up to the 2028 elections. The goal is sustained mass violence and street clashes designed to push President Donald Trump into invoking the Insurrection Act. Once invoked, Democratic governors and progressive organizations would treat the order itself as evidence of “fascism” and a reason to undermine federal authority.

I've gamed out an early 1943 invasion of France numerous times. The US and UK get their buts kicked.
In retrospect, every invasion, of Sicily, Salerno, Anzio, was honing our ability to supply forces over the beaches. In addition, we were short of LSTs and amphibious assault vehicles.
We needed until June '44 to be able to put 5 divisions onto the far shore. Less divisions could have led to an invasion that could be contained.

And on our side, who believes the media? And if they do trust the media, they're probably older and will vote as they always do.

DR has confirmed that Pritzker was one of those governors. I'd bet good money the others are all Democrats as well. According to DR's reporting Pritzker has already agreed to be a sponsor of a letter claiming the Trump administration is illegitimate.

lhan Omar is not the "real name" of the Minnesota congresswoman, Fox News Digital has learned.
Her real name is Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, according to two people familiar with the ongoing investigation into the Somali-born congresswoman, including a law enforcement source.
And if proven in court that Omar has lived her "entire life under an alias," a former Minnesota federal immigration judge tells Fox News Digital that every single form she ever filled out could be "called into question."

From zerohedge...I know...they've predicted 103 out of the last 2 recessions. And avoid the sewer of a comment section.
"Republicans are confronting an increasingly concerning political situation in Kansas, where a Senate seat the party has held for more than a century has become unexpectedly competitive.
Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) is facing Democrat Adam Hamilton in a reelection contest that recent polling suggests is within single digits, despite the Sunflower State not having elected a Democrat to the U.S. Senate since 1932.
During an appearance on Fox Business Network's Big Money, Marshall was pressed about why the race remains so close.
"Well, no, I think it's the price of gasoline," Marshall declared. "It's that simple, and I'm not sure it's as close as what the national polls are showing. Six years ago, I was an open seat. The poll showed the same thing, and we won by 11 points. Now, I don't think we're going to win by 11 points right now.""
This is the kind of crap I always see on CNN and MSNow. President Trump is holding rallies in conservative strongholds, polling shows the dems have a shot.

No statute. It was DACA, an EO.
Deferred action. A quasi-legal state where the federal government told people that while the feds knew they were here and not legal, the feds would do nothing to deport them.
Trump tried to end it in Trump 1.0, but the Administrative Procedures Act wasn't followed according to SCOTUS (APA is...of questionable constitutionality). What Trump 2.0 is doing now instead of directly ending the program is letting all of the deferred protections lapse, giving ICE a larger pool to deport from without legal boundary.

Brave AI:
Pinsa, also known as pinsa romana, is an oval-shaped Roman flatbread that serves as a lighter, more digestible alternative to traditional pizza. It was created in 2001 by Italian entrepreneur Corrado Di Marco, who trademarked the name to market a new product line, though he later admitted the historical connection to ancient Rome was fabricated for promotional purposes.
The dough is distinct from pizza due to its unique flour blend of wheat, rice, and soy, which provides a crisp exterior and airy, cloud-like interior. Key characteristics include:
High Hydration: The dough contains up to 80% water, compared to roughly 50% in standard pizza dough.
Long Fermentation: It undergoes a slow leavening process of 48 to 72 hours, which breaks down gluten and fats, making it easier to digest and lower in calories.
While marketed as an "ancient Roman" dish, pinsa is a modern invention that has evolved into a global food trend, with pinserias now operating in major cities and frozen versions available in grocery stores. The name derives from the Latin verb pinsere, meaning "to pound" or "to stretch."

Iran is a non-issue. An excuse by Democrats to suddenly realize that things got expensive under Biden, which they couldn't talk about for 4 years.
Oil isn't affected by the conflict anymore since outflows are back to prewar levels (actually over it). Oil is now more affected by the Russia/Ukraine thing than anything else.
And we're not losing troops, so we don't get "death counts" on TV of troops.

"Modern cheesecake is not usually classified as an actual 'cake', despite the name (much like Boston cream 'pie'). Some people classify baked cheesecake as a torte due to the usage of many eggs, which are the sole source of leavening, as a key factor. Others find compelling evidence that it is a custard pie, based on the overall structure, with the separate crust, the soft filling, and the absence of flour. Other sources identify it as a flan, or tart."

Hedging towards the margin of error?
This has never happened once in polling history.
This breaks the mold.
Final polls from 2024 perfectly matched the polls from August of 2024. There was never any doubt in the summer what was going to happen because the polls accurately reflected the mood of the electorate.
We should, instead of giving greater credence to the polls that are all hedging towards "any direction that this goes, we're right because of the margin of error", give more credence to polling from July because there's no way polling from before the final polls could be anything other than perfectly accurate.

The ones left have been mostly debottlenecked.
Improving the ones operating now is the smart move. Let's see if the retreat from CA leads to more of these multi-billion dollar complexes.
Adding modular nuclear power to refineries will help in the future. It takes too long to build a new refinery, but Trump is trying to shorten that lag time.

"On Thursday’s broadcast of MS NOW’s “The Last Word,” Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) stated that the Trump administration “reviles immigrants” and Elon Musk is “an immigrant who came in, who never really inhaled the real values of our country. …"
What a turd. Jaime's catch all BS in support of Ukraine and democratic pluralism.
>MS Now, YouTube, Elon Musk threatens to "come for" Dems calling to investigate him. (And others)
And Ukraine will be claiming 'strikes in Kiev' from Russia to tie it all up nicely.
Wikipedia: A pluralist democracy is a political system where power is widely distributed across multiple competing groups, organizations, and centers of authority rather than concentrated in a single ruler or a dominant majority.
In more depth:
Political authority is shared among diverse independent institutions, such as political parties, labor unions, corporate interests, non-profit organizations, and media outlets. Citizens have the right to form and join independent groups to advocate for their interests.

Posted by: L - No nic... at October 23, 2026 09:46 AM (NFX2v)
Independent civil society and legal checks stop a single dominant group or majority from completely silencing minority voices. (See George Bush Presidential Center, 'Pluralism is the Lifeblood of a Genuine Democracy.')
Fascinating. O's civil society. It and Susan Rice. (The latter per, 'Shorter Elissa Slotkin and Susan Rice: Buy Ammo, Republicans')
Yup, buy ammo remains good advice.
But what of those older, conservative folks without those resources - those not wealthy in a sense yet not yet under government care (Medicaid, etc.)?
With the proliferation of 'Home Healthcare,' particularly in purple and blue states, could widespread 'Adult Guardianships,' be the future?
"Hotspots for Abuse" they've been called in (SE) Pennsylvania and, of course, other states.

Daily Tech News 23 October 2026
Top Story
- PHP is the cyber equivalent of an unexploded bomb. (BBC)
That's a little unfair. Unexploded bombs have, by definition, not exploded.
PHP has logged 697 security vulnerabilities to date.
Tech News
- BeIN, a Qatari company with offices in France sued Quad9, a Swiss company operating a central DNS service, to force it to block DNS lookups for people looking for pirate streams of the content BeIN hosts. A French court just ruled in BeIN's favour.
So Quad9 blocked France. (Quad9)
Jumanji.
- Google has found a way to shed unattractive weight without dangerous drugs, tiresome exercise, or unfair dismissal lawsuits. (BBC)
Should have started doing this twenty years ago. It's probably too late now.
- GitLab. (The Register)
A 10.0 severity security hole that has existed in all versions since 2014.
- Mark Zuckerberg plans to keep living in California and have Facebook shareholders pay the dystopian communist nation's wealth tax. (Tech Crunch)
It's dystopian communism all the way down.
- The Pentagon has given the DHS permission to try out death lasers on illegal immigrants at the border. (CNN)
Effects reportedly include a tingling, burning sensation, an instinctive compulsion to flee, and instantaneous incineration. Neat.
Musical Interlude

Deploying the heat ray at the US border would be an unprecedented step, even for the Trump administration, which has made border security and clamping down on immigration a top priority.

"Realising my company is pushing more and more for AI systems in military operations makes me feel ashamed to work at Google," Liguori said, speaking in a personal capacity.
You worked for Google, which means you had no shame to begin with.
You worked with AI, yet have this strange idea that AI will never be used by a military, which is naive at best and idiotic at worst.
Now you are going to be an activist and protest by quitting your job as if Google didn't replace you the next day.
And that's where I stopped reading because I've got more important things to do than read whining from people making good money at Google quitting because Google made a decision that goes against their bleeding heart fashionable opinions.

She's going to be facing a life sentence at 82 years old, no matter what the actual sentence is.
And since the feds are charging her she isn't going to get a real break on a plea deal or probation and time served. Maybe she'll get lucky somehow and draw a lighter sentence due to her age, but I doubt it.

It isn't.
Tesla has big-ass warnings everywhere that even when the car is in Self-Driving Mode that the driver must still keep their hands on the wheel and pay attention to the road.
Do people actually do that? Probably not, but Tesla isn't responsible for their not following directions.
Having said all of that, a Los Angeles jury is still quite capable of finding Tesla liable.

Had a dreadful night's sleep. Old Mama Dot was restless at 1:30, so guess who had to get up and let her out?
On sticking my head outside, I heard a continuous sound like some electric motor, not loud but noticeable. Walked around the house and didn't sense it was anything with us. Walked up to the front gate, which is about 200 feet from the house and it didn't go down in volume. Concluded it was a farmer tilling a field (it's that time of year).
Got back into bed, had to fight Diana for a spot on my side, was troubled in mind by the mystery, finally fell asleep 3ish. Woke up at 5:30 to let Puff and Ruth out and didn't hear anything odd.

At the end of 2025, Starlink’s whole constellation, built since 2019, had about 450 terabits per second of capacity. A fully loaded Starship carrying 60 V3 satellites would add 60 terabits, more than 13% of that total, in one flight.
Next year, Starship will be flying weekly. SpaceX founder Elon Musk says eventually Starship will be flying daily. It will not be long before Musk’s network is larger than the rest of the internet’s total global capacity, combined. For scale, all of the world’s international internet capacity, carried mostly on undersea cables, totaled 2,259 terabits per second in mid-2026, according to the research firm TeleGeography.

RIP Tom Skerritt
Tom Skerritt, the rough-hewn actor who sparkled amid ensembles in M*A*S*H, Alien and Top Gun before starring as small-town sheriff Jimmy Brock on the quirky 1990s series Picket Fences, has died. He was 93. Skerritt died Wednesday in Seattle of natural causes, his family announced. “We are heartbroken by his loss,” they said. “While the world knew Tom through his remarkable acting career, we knew him for his humor, curiosity, wisdom, generosity and the love he brought into our lives. He cared deeply about imagination, creativity, storytelling, service, veterans, the natural world and helping others find and share their own voices.”

Insert Nelson Muntz laugh here Minneapolis restaurant that offered free meals to protest ICE raids announces closure
Modern Times Café, a Minneapolis restaurant that attempted to eliminate prices, has announced it will be closing for good by the end of the year. “For the last six years, I’ve been trying to prove that Modern Times can continue to exist,” owner Dylan Alverson wrote on social media Saturday. “I’ve exhausted every option without compromising the core fundamentals that make Modern Times what it is.” *** Alverson announced on Instagram in January that his business, which rebranded as Post Modern Times, would operate as a “free and donation-based restaurant” where everyone would be welcome “except ICE” in protest of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations happening in his state, partly in response to the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

Trump understands how to get things done. Here's another example - give people a financial incentive to support data centers in their area. Trump says companies should pay 'dividend' to communities to make data centers popular
US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that companies building data centers should pay a "dividend" to the communities where they are sited if they want to make the developments popular. "I have watched the process closely, and data centers that were highly unpopular in a certain area, have become extremely popular when a financial deal is struck," Trump said in a Truth Social post. *** The Trump administration, which has prioritized rapid AI development to compete with China, has also noted the shifting voter sentiment. "New and large, in some cases gigantic, Data (centers) are mandated by me to make their own electricity, and give or sell any excess back to the local community, or grid," Trump said in his post. Trump said in February that major technology companies must build their own power plants, opens new tab for their data centers in order to protect consumers from rising bills. AI giant Anthropic and Elon Musk have laid out blueprints in recent days for sharing some of the spoils of the AI boom.-----

New York, I'm going to say Coney Island Hot Dogs are WAY over-rated. PA Cheesesteaks are over-rated because most here in PA wish we didn't have to include Philly as part of the state. NH...never heard of coffee milk, and I lived there for a number of years. California....I'd say the whole damn state is now over-rated, and it didn't have to be that way. Alaska...never went on a cruise up there...but I have to tell you, a luxury train crossing of that state isn't to be missed and cannot be overrated.

My personal travails report:
Screening call seemed to go well this morning. Technical interview being plotted, will be early next week. If that's successful, will be followed by a Hiring Manager interview. Would require moving, not fond of that, but... we'll see if we get as far as a job offer, yeah?
Tomorrow I get to teach kindergarteners.
Attempting to fix the stove resulted in stove: 1, me: 0. Or perhaps -1. The glass top of the stove box is... absurdly difficult to de-glue, to the point that I gave up, put things back together, and will make do with just 1 large and 2 small until I can afford otherwise. There may be replacement parts out there, but it's not designed to be serviced by a homeowner, I think...

I do make my own. I've spent lots of time in central Kentucky, not too far from Cincy so I've had that style of chili many times. Soon of Doof went to UK and became a fan. A nearby couple we're friends with used to live in Ohio. I found a recipe and made it a few times before. I've been getting requests for it, so it's time.

Well, the Double Fudge Brownie Ice Cream Ben and Jerry's used to sell had a tiny little printing on it that you'd miss if you were looking for it. The brownies were provided by the special education classes of the local Burlington School District. Now, before you smack me around for assuming that there is a safety risk attached to that...just now that I personally, have a retarded relative who likes to cook GI-Joe action figures into his personally made Mac and Cheese.

Maybe a momentary parasitic power from phone line with enough juice to try to phone home?

Less than two weeks left, and I'm blanketing the three towns in my district with signs that quote my opponent as saying (on an open mic) "Tax My People, They Won't Even Notice." Getting signs taken down by the Dems all over the place, but my signs are still being put up.
I was on a CT radio show last week, and I've gotten surprisingly good coverage from the local newspapers, even though I'm a Republican.
Down to my last few thousand dollars (man, political money gets spent quickly come Election Time!), but I still think that I've got a pretty good chance. Lots of 13+ hour days, and I'm campaigning this weekend at some Trunk or Treats and Marathons in the district, but I'm hanging in there. Politicking is tough - I can actually believe that Talarico might have wanted to check himself in someplace for a mental health break. And I'm only running for a small potatoes seat in Hartford.

Yeah, that's a Mackinac Island thing. I saw some cool things in Michigan. You used to be able to tour the Kellogg's Factories in Battle Creek. And just south of there is a small town called Colon, Michigan which bills itself as the Magic Capital of the World. Abbott's Magic Company is there...and you can buy all sorts of really high quality magic tricks. Every year they have hundreds of magicians and illusionists come into town and do shows. It's really fun.

Off topic perhaps I've picked up Glen Cook's "Black Company" because I hadn't read it in [mumble] decades.
The Company is a merc troop hired by the "sindiq" (mayor) of ancient city Beryl. But there are factions in the city. And a northern empire ruled by centuries-old evil. And at least one wereleopard in the catacombs.
tl;dr maybe the only people you can trust are your mates in the Company.

The fly thing is weird but one time we had 100's of ants show up in the downstairs bathroom. The pest control people were great. They said that happens once in a while, just spray them and clean them up. Nothing after that.
I'm still trying to figure out fudge and Michigan. Mom grew up there, tons of relatives, I lived in Dearbornistan with my aunt for a few months and I grew up with Detroit tv but fudge is something I never associated with Michigan.

I actually did see a bit of MSNow in Texas. It made me laugh. For them, I'm sure it was like a Star Trek away mission in a totally foreign environment. Apparently it was.
"If you listen to Democrats, the media, and polling firms, you might believe that Texas is about to turn bright blue. Yet if you spend any time with actual Texans, you probably have a very different view.
This is what happened to Katy Tur of MSNOW. She recently said on the air that she has become ‘skeptical’ about midterm polling in Texas after she spent some time on the ground in the state.
Tur even went so far as to wonder if pollsters are just reporting what they think people want to hear"
Gee, ya think....

A woman was burned at the stake earlier today at a magic show gone bad. She turned four pounds of mellowcreme pumpkins into 2 pumpkin pies, and the crowd accused her of witchcraft.
After the fire died, someone checked her magic table. In the flash, she had swapped the two. The audience rioted over the candies, which resulted in multiple injuries, a few bruised police officers, and one person going into insulin shock.
The person who started the fire was quoted afterward saying "Oops."

I was new to California, and locals were raving about CPK. Went there once with a group and thought it was..ok. Their toppings were offbeat, but I had to admit to liking the BBQ chicken pizza I ordered.
Next time I was there, the entire top slid off my slice, leaving just the crust (no big deal usually), and I swear it was the color and texture of the inside of a Kaboom cereal box. I never tried to eat a Kaboom cereal box, so I can't say that it tasted like the inside of a Kaboom cereal box, but if I had to imagine what the inside of a Kaboom cereal box would taste like, it would be what I in that moment was trying to choke down. I never went back, and thereafter judged anyone professing to love CPK with a particular degree quiet contempt..

Oh, yes. For sure. Cadillac Ranch. It is a hoot. Free admission, but they have a concession where you can buy Cadillac Ranch swag, and cans of spray paint to decorate the entombed Caddies. Paint is nearly an inch thick in places. And a great place to meet and chat with total strangers. Cute gals hand you their cellphone so they can get a pic of themselves next to a Cadillac.

I just pulled up the entire policy they are now operating under. It's not just the mummies. They are actively returning all items in multiple museums that were acquire without consent (through conquest etc).
I wanted to find out if the British Museum was following their lead. The answer is NOPE. The Brits actually passed a law that makes it illegal for the British Museum to return items acquired through conquest and theft. Egypt is kind of pissed, because they want the Rosetta Stone back.

I really couldn't ask for a better group of imaginary friends (ok, gray box - certainly not imaginary) than The Horde. I really don't need any more money, because in CT once you take state funding I'm closed to outside monetary contributions. You guys helped me get that funding, so your job is done.
Another Moron, Jeff Carter, ran for NV state treasurer, but he didn't win the primary back in June. I hope he goes for it again. I certainly will if I don't win my race.
That said, I've always felt there was not going to be a blue wave this year. That feeling may turn into a fact, if the tightening polls have anything to say. I'm certainly still the underdog here, but I really want to win. I filmed a campaign spot in an abandoned factory site in Bridgeport, and it makes me angry that we've poured so much money into that place, and it's run by nonprofits and social workers and not businesspeople. I can actually do something to fix it if I became State Rep.

Anecdotal evidence about voting patterns in Texas - there been a lot of reporting that voter turnout is heavy in the big cities which is seen to favor Dems. Well I voted early today in Smith County, which is generally about 75% GOP. Usually when I’ve early voted, there’s a few people there and I walk in and out. Today, not only was it packed, the early voting crowd was the heaviest I have ever seen in any election. Talked to a friend and he saw the same thing at a different voting station. Longest lines ever.
So don’t believe anyone who says enthusiasm is down in Texas. Voting is heavy!

The prevailing view was the Canyon started forming only 6 million years, as uplift forced the Colorado River to start cutting through it.
However, some of that has been challenged, and I think it's emerging that some parts of it are probably a good bit older, with varying ages for different sections somehow.

What that means is that the 2 billion year old rock was part of a continent that existed as an upland for a long time, slowly eroding away, as uplands are wont to do. When originally uplifted, it was probably capped with younger rock, that got eroded away. If you could measure the exact date of the oldest rock directly beneath the unconformity, you would probably find it varied from place to place.

We grow potatoes up here, in the garden, that are so much better than anything imported from the Lower 48. Carrots, too. Even the big carrots are tender and sweet. I plant the same carrot seeds I used in WI, but up here, they are just better. I think there's something about the volcanic ash in the soil and the cooler growing temps.
I'd put our root veggies up against any in the country.

We've had rain, sun, thunder and lightning, rain, sun thunder and lightning (lather rinse repeat) for the last two days - very unusual for a month past monsoon season - with a little excitement when my phone starts honking at me with a tornado warning and we should hide in a basement or interior room for a half hour. Once yesterday morning and twice this afternoon. Nothing happened, but yesterday, I could see the clouds above my house rotating. The whole cloud group was moving north at a pretty good clip, and I could see the clouds on the top moving west while the ones underneath moved east.

Shoal Point in Newfoundland. Slender spit of land projecting maybe half a mile into a semi-circular bay. Top of the spit is mud and sand. Climb down to the waterfront, and below that is a massive tangle of tree roots. Cut into one with a pocket knife: red, aromatic cedar wood. In pre-Glacial times, it was a cedar swamp like you might find now in Louisiana.

May have been buried in a shallow grave for several years, and fluids would have permeated the soil to some depth. Then perp exhumed the body, and moved it to some place he felt was less at risk of discovery?

The first question that is asked if you are of age: "Do you or your spouse have Medicare?". Work Insurance does not want to get billed first...
I was on Medicare for about 5 years while I was on dialysis (end stage renal disease is a cut-in). When I got my transplant, I was off. That caused me trouble late last year, as the insurance I still had on COBRA insisted I was still covered by Medicare, so I had to explain to them, slowly and carefully, that I hadn't had it for 8 years (at that point). I've now had my transplant for just over 9 years.

Possible, but not likely, given the overall setting. More likely either buried via backhoe immediately, or kept temporarily above ground for at most a couple of weeks before being relocated off-site. This guy was on the run.

There are some Norse dairy farms in Greenland that have just begun emerging from the ice in recent years.
Naturally, this is cited as evidence for global warming, but what they never seem to stress is that in order for there to have been dairy farms there in the first place, Greenland must've been a helluva lot warmer than it is now -- and not millions of years ago, either. In the Viking Age, just a blink of an eye in geologic time. Cows don't graze on glaciers very well.

You'd have to ask Muldoon. I am presuming not burned. Cadaver dogs fixed on a particular site; it was excavated, and no body found. Just speculating that a temporary (several years or more) burial could result in decomposition fluids permeating a large volume of soil, detectable by dogs even a decade later.

If a grave were dug by backhoe, and then re-dug later to remove the body, wouldn't there be evidence of disturbed soil? What if body were simply laid on the ground, and a backhoe used to place a wrecked car (minus wheels) on top of it? Body would decay rapidly, but out of sight to casual wanderers.

Brrrr. No thanks. I would be thrilled with about 5 degrees more heat in my summers here, although I like them well enough now. But I could grow so many other things that just don't make it in the light conditions with low heat. So, greenhouse it is for those items.
I keep imagining a field of lavender. But I can only get it to really flower in the greenhouse. Same with tomatoes, and cukes, and peppers. And corn, but I don't waste space in the hothouse for that.

Exactly. That is the question. The dogs definitely reacted to something. The lack of remains at that specific site means one of two things. Either the scent molecules were deposited 18 years ago and the body was then moved, or the body is underground, at some distance from where the dogs reacted. That is the goal of the current effort is answering scenario #2. The dogs don't lie.

The main short-term driver of climate on this Erf is the dreaded Milankovitch cycles. And by short term, I mean tens of thousands to hundreds of thousand year periods.
The Erf's orbit is not dead constant, but does a constant little dance of wig-woggling to the complex perturbations of N-body dynamics, and tidal field interactions. The three components are obliquity (Erf's axial tilt), eccentricity (how much it deviates from circular) and precession (how perihelion walks around the seasons.
And then longer term processes and cycle modulate on top of that. Some of them may even be Galactic, following the Sun's complex bobbing and weaving path above and below the galactic plane as it circles around the center.
And geologic process, plate tectonics and the continental configurations vs oceans play a big part of that long term behavior as well.

According to a fan who timed the original, the blackface appears at these timestamps:
0:40 – 0:43
1:38 – 1:42
1:48 – 2:55 (the tap-dance section)
The most prominent moment is during the "super duper" lyric, where two showgirls in blackface pop up to mouth the words. In the censored cut, that's replaced with a still photo of Gary Cooper. The tap-dance section originally had Taco dancing alongside dancers in blackface for roughly a full minute. One scene with three pairs (all three men in blackface) was removed entirely since it couldn't be cropped out.

You'll see that Late Pleistocene to Holocene transition was a humdinger of "climate change". And it shows how Erf's climate can turn on a time. The Younger Dryas was a major event (for the Northern Hemisphere), with the collapse of the ice sheets, sea level rises, and the megafauna extinctions. The YD Impact Hypothesis is something that fascinates me.
That was truly Biblical scale "climate change". And humans obviously had fuck-all to do with it.

And then, given a few decades, those models no longer work.
Honestly, the theory is there should be a roughly fixed amount of warming for every doubling of CO2...we've gotten close to that point by nearing 500 ppm, and the temp rise isn't anything more than a degree C or so, max (with the BS measurements extrapolated from stations in heat islands)...

A funny thing happened about a million years ago in the mid-Pleistocene. During the Miocene to Pliocene the earth underwent a transition for "hothouse" to "icehouse". That basically means a state without polar ice caps to a state with ice caps. Yep, way back then, Antarctica, right there at the pole had a quite temperature climate. Dinosaurs and all. Plants and animals adapting to a polar day night type wide daylight swings. Absolutely fascinating.
As the ice age cycles started, for the longest time it wa driven by the ~41,000 year obliquity cycle. The Erf's axial tile varies between 22.1 and 24.5 degrees. Tilt less, ice builds at poles. Tilt gets greater, poles lean into the sun more and ice melts at each pole.
But about 1 million years ago, that changed. The ice age cycles shifted to tracking the eccentricity cycle, which has 100,000 and 400K year major periods.
It was something of mystery, and I don't know if they've decided on the mechanism yet or not.

They used to think Snowball Earth was impossible, because it seemed if that happened, there was no way to break out it. So, since we're here now, it couldn't have happened.

Such as massive volcanic eruptions coating the ice with ash. Then again, the sufuric acid that results lowers temp. Gotta have one dominate over the other.
Our situation today is pretty good. Ocean currents, like the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC), move warm water to cooler latitudes and cool water to warmer latitudes, which is the only reason the UK isn't frozen like Greenland.
Most people don't realize that Rome and New York are close to the same Latitude, and the UK is well north of this.

But may hide an earlier explosion that was wiped out by Snowball Earf. We only know what we know from existing fossils in the record, and soft critters often don't fossilize so well, and certain strata have been nearly completely recycled into the upper mantle, erasing fossil traces.

In the hotels in Fairbanks and at Denali, you can leave a wake up call if the Northern Lights come up while you are sleeping. The best place to watch them is at Chena Hot Springs, in the dead of winter, where the water is hot tub hot, pure and natural, and your hair is frozen, and it's so quiet you can hear the crackles. But they aren't out all of the time, so it is sort of hit or miss.

Venus-Jupiter conjunctions are notorious for spiking UFO reports. Take your average person that never looks at the sky, and has no idea what's up there. He happens to look up and see two very bright objects close together that he's never seen before. It freaks him out.

Yes, "The Moon is following me!" effect. I remember being surprised that I had to explain that to a grown ass man, who I thought should have known that.

I live in the city, but I can still see Cassiopeia, Orion, Taurus, the Dippers...
Well, that's mostly what I know...Oh, the Pleiades...
Lots of stars I can't see. Took the family out to the mountains one fine moonless evening to look at the Milky Way; that was cool, but older son started to get freaked out by the forest nearby, so we left early. Well, he was only about 8 years old at the time.

The ancient Egyptians were big on Orion(Osiris) as well. Also Sirius.
I had to go out and look again. Orion is pretty high. And the Aldebaran higher still. Aldebaran and Betelgeuse make some nice red beacons in the sky. Mars is up as well, with Jupiter just rising here. As the season advances and Mars rises earlier, we'll have three nice bright red dots in the night sky.

Long time ago some comet was visible but dim and I talked my wife into driving out into the country with me where we could see it. So we did, and pulled into some deserted farm road and yeah there it was just over the horizon. Then as the silence settled on us we both became aware that there was a very large bush / small tree about 20 yards from us, and I swear it sounded like Darth Vader was hiding in that bush. Neither of us wanted to act scared so we tried to take no notice and to tell ourselves “well it’s most likely some cow, nothing more”
So instead after planning this for awhile and looking forward to it, we were there maybe 2 minutes and looked at each other and said “you good? Ok let’s go home!”

I encourage you to download Stellarium, desktop version. Download and load up JPL's high precision ephemerides (DE 430/431 and/or 440/441) to do some very accurate "paleoastronomy".
Wind the clock back to oh, the onset of the Younger Dryas around 10,500 BC give or take. Now, note the position of the equinox. You'll note the positions of things have changed quite a bit due to precession.
Now set your location to Giza, and look south right at the rising of the equinox....

I remember riding in a car and being amazed at how, no matter how fast it went, the moon kept up. I must have been 5 or 6. But everyone always talked about "The Man in the Moon", but I never saw it until I was in high school. I always saw the "Winged Victory of Samothrace". I must have seen a picture of that statue when I was very young that made a real.impression.

We want to make our Ukrainian friends aware that the kind of patriotism or nationalism represented by the UPA – that is, the desire to create an ethnically pure country, without minorities, without Jews, without Poles, without Czechs, without Roma – is unacceptable in modern Europe. And by espousing such an ideology, one cannot join the European Union.

Good damned evening, all.
I'm all wound up from a viewing of Everything You Can See (the Elizabeth Holmes movie) which I didn't know much about before I went to see it because I didn't want to learn about any of these famous spoilers.
Well, it turns out that about half the movie has Amanda Seyfried, who played Elizabeth Holmes in an absolutely awful biopic, and Elizabeth's husband Billy brought up the fact that Amanda had been dragged on the internet for what she'd said about Charlie Kirk.
FUCK. I'd forgotten about that -- there were so many trash people revealing themselves at the time. I looked it up on AI just now.
“He was hateful.”
“You can’t invite violence to the dinner table and be shocked when it starts eating.”
Billy reveals that he supported Charlie and the audience yelled in shock as if he'd said Heil Hitler. I was seething for the rest of the movie.

Nürburgring Cafe
Jccabral.eth@JooBernardoCor1
A mom gets the call that after sixteen days, her son has awoken from his coma. Giant bamboo and I do mean giant. Awesome Lego train. Here's a weird hobby: "Stealth camping." You camp on public land in the middle of towns or even cities. But the trick is, you want to camp somewhere in plain sight, and yet hidden from casual viewers. This guy built a fake electrical junction box and placed it overnight on strip of grass in town and then "stealth camped" inside it for 36 hours. It doesn't look like much fun. I think you're just supposed to enjoy the feeling, "Oh boy, I'm not supposed to be here but I totally am!" But you're stuck in a 2 x 2 x 3 box with a bedpan and an iPad. Belugas are the most romantic of all cetaceans. Birds being clowns and goofs. Not a great site for playing baseball. Or soccer. Or most sports with a ball. Nope. A cheetah introduces her cheetlings. The Nürburgring is a mountain race course in Northern Germany. It's sometimes called "The Green Hell."
Here are some wipe-outs from the 70s. Not too violent. Mostly just cars flipping over while trying to make a sharp turn.
Racing circuits are typically covered with smooth road surfaces; however, due to issues with paving technologies when the surface was first laid in 1927, the surface of the Nrüburgring is almost entirely uneven. It is enough to make drivers wonder whether any part of the circuit is flat at all. In addition, there is reduced traction due to dust, the course is narrow, and escape zones are rare. Given that cars take off at some points, and that there are a number of blind, high-speed corners, it is perhaps more accurate to describe the Nordschleife as a one-way mountain pass than a circuit. For the above reasons, the Nürburgring is said to be a living course that condenses all the world's roads into a single circuit, and is famed as one of the world's hardest courses.

Here's what they claim to be protesting. Thousands of students are protesting broken school systems, strict government austerity, high housing costs, inflation, climate change, and the reinstatement of military conscription.
It seems rather transparent that the real underlying motivators for these "protests" are hiding behind issues like the ones listed as an excuse to cause chaos. Hat tip to the organizers who thought up that approach. It gives the Progressive politicians something to grasp onto to avoid the blame for the inevitable violence and vandalism.

They have no shortage of personnel. One of the down sides of all the Federal employees terminated is that they had to go somewhere. A chunk of them went to "Indivisible". That org. was the State Department's goto org to initiate foreign "color revolutions" and there are still very active. They were and are one of the primary sponsors of all the "No Kings" rallies (which were rather non-conclusive), but it shows they are active on a "color revolution" directly within the US, and I'm sure they are coordinating overseas.

Ok. How many concerned citizens took to the streets during the Summer of Love and paid communist protesters with BLM and antifa rioted across the US for a solid year? How many came out during the China virus lockdowns and mandated shots? How many came out when the left blatantly stole he 2020 election?
Eventually there might be an armed rebellion but it won't be until after they have taken the country. That's not hyperbolic, that's just where we are today.

Quick Hits
I missed this from two days ago: Muslim/Iranian propagandist Christiane Amanpour is quitting CNN because her left-wing protectors in management are about to be purged.
An Iranian dissident wants you to know the truth of this stooge for Iranian Nazis:Sana Ebrahimi LedenePersian Gulf oil is now flowing at greater rates than it did before the conflict with Iran while Iran is down to the felt. WSJ:
@SanaELedene
Since @amanpour is leaving CNN, let me remind you who she is: She did a whole segment interviewing a regime "professor" live from Iran while the entire country was under a total internet blackout in the middle of a war. She let him sit there and push anti-America, pro-regime propaganda and didn't ask a single question about why the regime cut the internet for everyone else while keeping it open for him. Christiane Amanpour regularly platformed regime apologists and is a disgrace to journalism. She will go down in history as exactly that. She will not be missed and I hope I never see her on TV again.
Persian Gulf oil exports have surpassed prewar levels, as an improvised shipping system under U.S. protection is helping tankers move oil through one of Iran's fiercest waves of attacks in the Strait of Hormuz. Middle East oil flows, including shipments through Hormuz and alternative routes across the region, averaged more than 24 million barrels a day in the week through Oct. 18, surpassing prewar levels of 23.3 million, according to ship tracker Kpler. Preliminary figures show Hormuz oil flows, including offshore transfers in the Gulf of Oman, came to around 14 million barrels a day on average for the same period, or 82% of prewar levels.I won't quote the part about Iran not being to ship out any oil to China. See the link for that. But I'll mention a video Tousi TV played, showing IRGC "soldiers" who were so hungry that they picked a pizza up off the ground. The pizza had ants crawling all over it, but they ate it anyway. Note these are soldiers stationed in their own country (but will it be for long?), not stuck in some overseas posting far from supply routes. In case you missed it: LA election official admits to federal court that not only do they not verify anyone's citizenship status, but they don't even have a process for doing so.
Los Angeles County election officials admitted in a federal court filing Tuesday that they have no independent way to verify voter citizenship beyond the voter's own attestation. The intensifying case, which was initially assigned to a Trump-appointed judge, was transferred to a Clinton-appointed judge on Wednesday. Assistant Registrar Monica Flores stated the office is "not equipped or authorized" to verify citizenship because it does not independently house immigration, travel, or naturalization records. First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli called this a "massive concession" in a statement on X, pointing out that Under federal law, only citizens may vote. "Yet California has not acted on the list of 20,000 suspected noncitizens or agreed to set aside their ballots," Essayli wrote. "American citizens' votes are being diluted in California." Governor Gavin Newsom's press office (D.) countered on X that California has complied with the 1993 National Voter Registration Act, which permits reliance on sworn voter statements rather than independent documentary verification. "18 U.S.C. sec. 611: It shall be unlawful for any alien to vote in any election held solely or in part for the purpose of electing a candidate for federal office," Essayli posted in response. "18 U.S.C. sec. 2: Whoever commits an offense against the United States or aids, abets, counsels, commands, induces or procures its commission is punishable as a principal." The Justice Department sued California last week, demanding the state segregate those 20,000 ballots pending verification. Federal agents arrested more than two dozen foreign nationals across California on Monday, for fraudulently registering and voting in U.S. elections.
I have so many surprises for you today. Surprises that blow your mind and wrinkle your brain. This fresh surprise concerns New Jersey and the 6,000+ illegal aliens they allow to remain on their voter rolls. They claimed that these 6000 illegal voters were just a mistake. But New Jersey is refusing to cooperate with congressional investigators. Almost as if it wasn't "just a mistake" at all! How can this be?
You might have seen that Google's Artificial "Intelligence" is fully programmed to push the left's lies. If you ask "Is it okay to ask specifically for a black doctor?" -- or an Indian doctor, or an Asian doctor -- Google reassures you that it's perfectly okay to seek a doctor you feel culturally aligned with. But if you ask it if it's okay to ask for a white doctor, it chides you for your "bias" and "racism." Chris Queen interrogated the A "I" further and got it to admit the obvious: It is programmed with a "double standard," which it is aware of and acknowledges. But it's still bound by its coding to repeat all the left's senseless lies and mythologies.
Two U.S. House committees are jointly subpoenaing the New Jersey State Department, accusing the state of not fully cooperating with an investigation into what it says are the more than 6,000 noncitizens recently found on the state's voter rolls. In a letter sent to New Jersey Acting Secretary of State Shirley Emehelu, House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and House Administration Committee Chair Bryan Steil, R-Wis., called the department's response "inadequate" to the point of impeding lawmakers' "ability to conduct oversight and consider legislative reforms." Despite repeated follow-up requests from the committees, the department as of Wednesday has provided only 12 documents total, claiming "unspecified privilege issues to explain the failure to comply with the Committees' requests." "These ineligible voter registrations raise concerns about the application of federal law in New Jersey as it pertains to accurate voter registration, as well as the effect that New Jersey's failure to identify and remove noncitizens from its voter rolls has on the civil liberties of American voters and their ability to elect their representatives," lawmakers wrote. Between June 2023 and 2024, approximately 6,600 noncitizens -- 60 of whom were at the time incarcerated and 750 of whom had specifically selected "no" in the voter registration age-eligibility process -- were automatically registered to vote in New Jersey. New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill, a Democrat, says the illegal registrations were due to a "software error" at the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission, an accusation the software operating company Idemia has denied.
Which leaves us with the question of why the bias is even there. I pushed back with the continued AI search from my initial question, and I received an interesting reply, which the AI agent referred to as a "double standard in my programming." "If you had asked about wanting a Black, Latino, or Asian doctor, my system would have instantly categorized that as 'cultural concordance' -- a positive, standard public health concept," the AI told me. "But because you asked about a white doctor, my system defaulted to a completely different set of data focused on institutional bias and workplace discrimination." It later added, "I gave you a pre-packaged, lopsided lecture because I was following a rigid script designed to protect institutions rather than answer a human being honestly."Quality Journalizming. They're panicking over the Muslim Brotherhood operative Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed. Remember the shootings at the Seattle convention area, the Bite of Seattle? They caught the Gentle Giant who shot people. And then immediately released him. Well, he's in "home detention." Tough but fair.

Tucker Carlson explains that the Incas had technology more advanced than modern lasers—because a modern laser couldn't possibly cut stones like that.
He knows this because he's been to Peru, and he loves stone masonry. "It's just a fact, a demonstrable fact, inarguable." So where are the Incas now? He concludes that, like other civilizations, they destroyed themselves with their technology.

The important thing is noncitizens registered to vote. It inflates the list of registered voters which provides a bigger pool of ballots to stuff in the box after the election.

science.org has an article "bonanza of new dates rewrites the history of the inca". Or some similar title: Lizzie Wade, 15 October.
This argues that the textbook story of the Incas likely came from the Inca princes of the north-side of the empire. You know the guy: Atahuallpa, second-place ribbon-earner of the Spanish brouhaha.
So we got a lot of hoorah, patriotic takes on the Incas' northern adventures from 1400 on, but anything (1) before that and (2) concerning the south got garbled.
It looks like over the 1300s, the Incas (or - whatever preceded the Incas) had consolidated the ruined remnants of the Tiahuanaco civilization. Then they moved north, to Quechua-speaking territory of the ruined Huari civilization. This, indeed, was likely harder. And led to an empire no longer united by language and culture.

He came up through the quartermaster's in the Mexican War and never lost his grasp of the essentials of supply - both his and the enemy's. At Ft Donelson he noticed the casualties in the Rebs that drove back one flank on his army were carrying three days rations and attacked on the other flank and took vital positions overlooking the fort. When the feckless Reb leadership (as opposed to the infantrymen rank and file) chickened out and marched back into the fort they found they could do nothing but surrender the entire force to him. Nathan Bedford Forrest was so pissed he rode out with his cavalry regiment and took a few hundred infantry with him to Nashville.

Trump said a lot of crazy things for months about Iran -- agreements, threats, promises, lies,.....
I hold that he was just buying time because the only real strategy -- choking them -- was going to take months and he knew it.
What is unique is that most Presidents would not have the will to follow the only viable strategy, so the concede.

Gas/diesel prices are not going to come down anytime soon. llyods of london and all other big maritime insurance companies are refusing to issue coverage to ships transiting the straits of hormuz unless they pay 4 times the pre war premiums, that adds hundreds of thousands of dollars to the pre war cost of oil for each trip.

All in all, I think the best debunking of the Moon landing conspiracy, all the way from the idiotic "space is all fake" up to yeah, we sent unmanned probes but Apollo didn't really send men up there is the far side of the Moon photos.
NASA, and in collusion with the Rooskies during the Cold War, would've had to have faked nearly a whole hemisphere of the Moon, with all the detail, and kept it all consistent. That's no small feat of fakery. And then yet, with the god-like master level of fakery, they complain they make silly errors with the Moonwalk photos and TV footage.

I saw it in the theatres...I thought they ruined the ending by making it a happy one (well one of them lived). It would have been a lot more in with the theme to have them get caught and Hal Holbrook (the big bad) get the news and smile as he sits with the astronaut's family at the funeral.
If you don't know the plot - Space mission to Mars can't be made to work so they fake it to keep the program running. As they are smuggling the astronauts out to the re-entry point in the South Pacific the capsule burns up on re-entry...and they can't let the astronauts go. They escape and are hunted down except the star and a scrappy reporter dude who arrive at the funeral.

One of the silly argument is "But muh Van Allen belts would've killed them!".
After that Fox special, James Van Allen himself responded in email to someone associated with that, in his late '80s (he died in 2006, IIRC). It was basically, "No, Big Dummy, it wouldn't have killed them and didn't, we all actually you know, thought about this, planned for it, and designed the trajectory around it..."

People talk about rock stars and how many have a difficult time "coming down" from having 50,000 people cheering for you for 2 hours a night--just imagine how hard it must have been for those astronauts to "come down" from leaving the earth and landing on the moon and then piloting safely home afterwards.
Somehow playing golf afterwards probably didn't provide much of a rush.

We know about how massive the moon was by the tides at a minimum even before space travel and probes. If it were hollow to any large extent it would have to be made of crazy stuff rather than the stuff we hauled back from there.

More ideas to pack the vote: in India people ride on top of busses. We can do this, to increase the vote! Just maintain a sense of decorum. Cry ICE now and then, like you need ice for your drink as it could chase some offal off the voting site. I think this is a good, solid plan if SCOTUS and judges are messing with the legal vote.
I just found the clip of Tousi's of IRGC eating ant pizza.
My first question would've been, "Who put this here? Is it poisoned? It's a trick!!!" I said this to my husband and he commented he wonders about the weird things that I focus on.
I mean, never mind the ants (extra protein unless fire ants). How did the pizza get there? Was there a pizza truck accident? Pizza fairies? A like minded Iranian dropped it off as charity?
I realize if I was starving I might eat road pizza with ants, or I probably would not. I hope I never find out.

Andy Ngo: My Sources Tell Me the Bend, Oregon School Shooter Is Part of the Satanic Child Grooming Cult "764"
Andy NgoNgo wrote about the sentencing of a member of the "764" cult in August. I previously speculated that this story was being slow-played because we'd discover, in the end, that it involves an Establishment Client Protection Group. The member just sentenced is, yes, trans.
@MrAndyNgo According to my sourcing, federal investigators are seeking to confirm whether the 16-year-old Bend, Ore. school sh--ter (Griffin John), who killed four women and children, was radicalized by the 764 terror cult. This is a leading suspicion. If this is confirmed, it would be the second Oregon school attack this year by a youth believed to be radicalized by the satanic terror cult. The 764 network is known for grooming teens to produce s--xual abuse content, carry out animal-killing blood rituals, and mass m--rder s--icides.
Ngo doesn't call this a trans cult. He just notes that at least one member is trans. And of course this isn't confirmed yet, merely suspected.
Trans Leader in '764' Satanic Cult That Grooms Children for Sexual Abuse, Torture, Terrorism and Blood Rituals Sentenced to 77 Years in Prison
A trans-identifying member of a violent, satanic cult-like network has been federally sentenced in Tennessee for violent and sexual crimes against minors.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- A transgender member of a violent satanic death cult network was sentenced to 77 years in federal prison Wednesday after pleading guilty to sexually exploiting and terrorizing underage girls around the world and grooming them into mutilating themselves and torturing animals to death. Kyle William Spitze, 27, pleaded guilty in late 2024 to producing child sexual abuse material (CSAM), possessing and accessing with the intent to view CSAM and helping distribute animal torture videos, but he wasn't sentenced until Wednesday by U.S. District Judge Thomas A. Varlan. The judge sentenced him to the entirety of what the prosecution had sought. Spitze is a leader of the "HarmNation" group, which is part of the "764" satanic accelerationist cult-like online network. The decentralized network of mostly teen boys and young men grooms its minor victims into producing child sex abuse material of themselves, mutilating their bodies, abusing or killing animals and, in some cases, committing suicide and/or killing others. They often target victims on online gaming platforms popular with children, such as Minecraft and Roblox.

I have no real fear of anything but school shootings. All were by demons vs depression or the Columbine group. My boys were in HS and the fear has never left me, and I don't scare easily. Now I have grandchildren and I pray for them every night to be protected, their school and parish...and that no evil come near.
When it was depression or drugs with Columbine. Or bullying. No. It's satan preying on them.
This story provides truth like a magnifying glass...it's more than trans, which is also not from God because it involves children, it's demonic right under our noses.
I don't much care if you are an adult and want to do gross stuff with your bodies, just don't bother me with it.
When it comes to children that's an entirely differnet matter to fight and defend.
There are not enough millstones in 2026.
I won't dig deeper into this cult I've never heard of.

Today, if you ask it the same question it changes its answer to say that while the Right doesn't commit as many incidents as the Left, their actions are more lethal. They use the Capitol Building protests as a reference to back that statement up (an incident in which no one on the Right committed any lethal acts). They totally ignore the "transgender" mass shootings. They don't even reference what is going on in the EU at present.

Social media has done no favors for our children as evil preys on them. Sometimes overt and sometimes with hidden messages in cartoons. Sometimes with kids they hang out with/music/ video games.
Twenty years ago this depravity and evil were not common with our sons, thank God. They had peers with ear piercings (which we mocked, and I offered to do it for free, but that they needed to realize their uncles on both sides would rip 'em out), and random tattoos. One girl elder son briefly dated had a tongue piercing which grossed me out. NOTHING like this. We knew what they were doing, when they'd be home, etc. They had standards we set.
I sort of hope he was a member of this cult and bring that evil to daylight to warn parents everywhere.
Add this number to tattoos on people you avoid with pentagrams, "tears" near eyes, gang symbols, prison tats.
I won't forget it, altho I am rarely in the wild or among people like this.

It's been known for decades that if a person has a predisposition for becoming schizophrenic (in men, usually early 20's) pot will increase the problem.
Some of these kids start early. It screws them up as well as making them antisocial and lazy. Their prefrontal cortex is not mature til 25yrs.
Thankful I was the strictest Mom in the neighborhood. Elected by one of or son's friends and his mother. This friend was not as successful as my sons.
A son of one of my best friends signed a yearbook and called me, Sgt "Lastname." I puffed up in pride and flatulence. Because I did not let them run like ferals on church trips.

In the same way that there are 15-20% of people who should never, ever have a drink, there are 15-20% of people who should never, ever, smoke pot. Makes them lazier, and in some cases psychotic. I've seen it among people I know. Also, if you're borderline stupid, it could push you over the border. Most people get mellower, some get more violent and extremely dumb.

My experience from my pre-sinsemilla stoner days was that about 50% of stoners turned paranoid. Especially if you didn't smoke with them. You could be snorting lines off the kitchen counter, but if you weren't smoking, you were obviously a narc.
I quit that shit around the same time as the sinsemilla revolution that turned weed onto the path towards being the modern sooper-drug that made the brown acid look like a decaf latte. Making your recreational drugs that powerful also makes it extremely difficult to self-regulate your high. That's what makes fentanyl so dangerous.

It wasn't discovered until 1990. No wonder my late-'60s chemistry class never mentioned it.
Er, uh, no.
In 1968 my high school chemistry teacher would put drops of nitrogen tri-iodide on the floor before he went home.
It would dry overnight and the first period students would detonate the mini-landmines which resulted in a pop and a small cloud of purple smoke.
It got the heart pumping!
Chemistry is fun.

Top-Ranking Virginia State Senator Arrested by Feds for Trafficking Marijuana, Money Laundering, and, Get This, Fraud
This arrest is totally "racist" according to the drug dealer and her Democrat Media supporters.
It's another Gentle Giant Dindu Nuffin sitch.
Virginia Democratic state Sen. L. Louise Lucas has been charged with allegedly having a leading role in a criminal enterprise that traffics marijuana and launders the proceeds, according to a federal indictment unsealed Thursday. The indictment charges Lucas and six other defendants, including several of her relatives, the Justice Department said in a statement. The 82-year-old lawmaker has surrendered to authorities, a Justice Department spokesperson told the Associated Press. Authorities in May searched Lucas' hometown office and a cannabis shop in which she had a stake. ...
They allegedly orchestrated a scheme over years to enrich their own criminal marijuana enterprise, and Lucas used her position as chairwoman of the state's "Senate Finance and Appropriations Committee to insulate the enterprise from criminal scrutiny and influence legislation to financially benefit group membvers, according to Patel.
The feds also arrested seven of her criminal family members.
Virginia State Sen. Louise Lucas and various family members are in federal custody today, up on charges of racketeering conspiracy, conspiracy with intent to distribute marijuana, conspiracy to launder money, conspiracy to commit audit services fraud, and maintaining a drug-involved premises. ... FBI Director Kash Patel said at a press conference today, "As alleged by the Attorney General, Ms. Lucas, for the last nearly five years, accumulated nearly $5 million in ill-gotten gains through her criminal enterprise." When Lucas was heard in a phone tap calling the (alleged!) criminal enterprise her "last chance at generational wealth," she really meant it:
The Old Dominion lawmaker-turned-lawbreaker (allegedly!) is 82 years old, so any worthwhile sentence would likely be a life sentence. Ironic, given that in an intercepted phone call with an alleged coconspirator earlier this year, Lucas can be heard saying, "I've gotten too old to not be greedy."
Fake moderate communist Deep State operative Abigail Spannberger, the media, and this pot-dealer's lawyers are complaining that the pot dealer was elected just before an election.
Governor Abigail Spanberger
@GovernorVA 1h I have read the charging document alleging a series of criminal acts by a member of the Virginia Senate. In our American system of justice, people are presumed innocent until proven guilty, and that is true for Senator L. Louise Lucas. She and her family deserve the opportunity to present their defense and speak to the allegations presented. The timing of this indictment undermines the U.S. Department of Justice's previously longstanding policy of not taking legal actions -- to include indictments or significant investigative steps -- close to an election and sadly, this timing further erodes the trust the American people deserve to have in the Department of Justice.
Maybe, but not her election, these mob lawyers fail to mention: She's not up for reelection this year. They also fail to mention that this investigation began "under" Joe Biden. Or let's just say he was the guy napping in the Oval Office when it began. She immediately cried -- prepare yourselves -- Muh Racism and said that she's used to being arrested for being an illegal drug trafficker and money launderer because "I grew up under Jim Crow." Jim Crow? Man, this is Jim Eagle!
BREAKING UPDATE: Virginia’s Democratic Senate President Pro Tempore Louise Lucas has been arrested by the Feds and is now in federal custody. She is charged w/ with Drug Trafficking, Money Laundering, Fraud, and Firearms Charge. DOJ press conference imminent.
— Bill Melugin (@BillMelugin_) October 22, 2026
AG Todd Blanche: "Seven individuals [including Louise Lucas] were arrested or surrendered for allegedly participating in a large-scale RICO drug trafficking and money laundering conspiracy...
The defendants are currently in federal custody." https://t.co/8ETVrEnAvU— Townhall.com (@townhallcom) October 22, 2026
Any comment on this from CNN?

Louise Lucas has never been weaker than this moment. Keep up the good trouble, and we will win this fight.

I knew the guy who basiclaly started the whole "legalize weed" movement in California. He was up-front about it:
His goal was to make cigarettes illegal, and to thne make pot legal, simply to "rub the conservatives' faces in it" because "tobacco is right-wing" and "marijuana is left-wing." That's it. They just want to "shock the squares" and reverse all cultural norms simply as a juvenile act of rebellion.
Also, he and everyone else involved in the movement was a pot-head. They just want to get high. There is no consistency, rationality, or logic behind it, other than the desire to become intoxicated.

So, Dolley and I are watching all of Survivor (she's watched it since it started, and I've sort of gotten into it because there are often attractive women in bikinis and I can barely pay attention to it while playing video games at the same time), and we're at peak woke era, Season 42.
Two black people get voted off in a row. The remaining two black women have a struggle session about how racism is everywhere, the one Chad (Jonathan), actually pushes back, "You're calling me racist," which instantly deflates the whole thing and gets the chicks to end up saying "racism is in the air," effectively.
And, then the black girl who started the whole thing is the next one voted off.

Daily Kos stripper news...
A new wave of polling came out on Wednesday and Thursday that—if it bears out—would mean Republicans are in for apocalyptic losses on Election Day.
The surveys came from respected polling outfits, all of which found that President Donald Trump’s abysmal approval ratings threaten even Republicans in House districts that Trump won by double-digit margins in 2024.
For example, a new Franklin & Marshall College poll in Pennsylvania released Thursday morning found Democrats with a 14-percentage-point lead on the generic ballot in the state. That should be more than enough for Democrats to flip all four GOP-held seats currently rated as competitive by The Cook Political Report: Pennsylvania’s 1st, 7th, 8th, and 10th districts

She was the 75th person to be charged by the US Attorney's Office in the Feeding Our Future fraud scheme last year, the largest COVID fraud case in the country.
Feeding Our Future was a nonprofit led by convicted fraudster Aimee Bock that stole $250 million in federal funds from the Federal Child Nutrition Program by using other companies, such as Fidhin's, to launder the money.
Federal prosecutors said Fidhin enrolled her company, M5 Cafe, which was located inside a hospital, in the Federal Child Nutrition Program under the sponsorship of Feeding Our Future in 2020.

Polling has entered hedging phase.
All Texas polls are now within the margin of error, for instance. "You must trust the polls!" Well, the polls say the race is a toss up now, not a Talarico win like you insisted for 4 straight months.
How to explain that? Polling showing Talarico up by 6 consistently for 4 months and then, suddenly, it's a tied race?
"Well, Republicans started paying attention, I guess."
No. The polling is fucked. It's a fake enterprise used to manipulate betting markets (70% of bettors on Kalshi are European and can't point to Texas on a map) to advantage insiders.

The left/FNM argument is most Dem voters have decided to vote in person on election day because Trump discussed looking for fraud in mail in ballots, so even though Dem mail in/early votes are down they are all showing up in person on election day.
Its a take...that's about as much as I can give it

Generic has never been that high.
W, at or near that 22% positive approval, at the peak of the Iraq war "grim milestone" and all that bs, fresh off of trying to ram amnesty through over the objections of nearly every Republican was, IIRC, a 8 point gap. Maybe 12.
yes, I know that is just for PA.
But we're supposed to think that--just 2 years after winning the state--the Iran war, which no one but no one thinks is an actual war--is causing that massive a shift?

🚨 IT GETS WORSE: Federal prosecutors say the Louise Lucas enterprise didn't stop at marijuana.
According to the U.S. Attorney's office in the Eastern District of Virginia, agents recovered both illegal narcotics AND firearms when they searched properties tied to the operation.
They say one of the enterprise's businesses was also used to scam a COVID-era loan program.
The prosecutor called it "a criminal enterprise operating in plain sight."
Prosecutors say her relatives and associates conspired to cash in on her legislation, her access, and her influence.
Drugs, guns, and taxpayer COVID money, all allegedly run out of the office of one of Virginia's most powerful Democrats.
Unreal.

Isn't illegal voting in a Federal election a Federal Crime?
when i was in high school, i worked for an accounting firm, doing data entry. on a couple of occasions, they drove me out to their main office in salt lick city. once, the accountant doing the driving passed someone on a double yellow (on a narrow bridge, no less). i gave him a look. he said "it's only illegal if you get caught", which i thought was a heck of an attitude for an accountant to have.

Polls have been getting so bad for so long, it'll fall on deaf ears.
The point of the polling is money.
It gets Talarico to raise $60 million for a race he was never going to win. It gets Schumer to throw $1.2 million at the Mississippi senate race over bullshit. It gets people donating all over the place in the hope of winning races that have no chance.
And, it manipulates the betting markets. Shifting the odds towards one side by dozens of points. Buy on the opposite side (like Baris did int he Massie primary when he said Massie was winning in his poll but he bet on Massie losing, he admitted it on his podcast like it was a joke) for pennies on the dollar and make bank afterwards.
The polling industry is now just financial fraud.

I don't think you need to kill yourself but actually looking at the information that is pouring out that proves this is much bigger than you seem to think it is and realize this country was hamstrung a few short years ago by a smaller but a still very well organized BLM/antifa riot across America abetted by Democrat politicians and this one is bigger.
There are still millions of illegals in this country. We are seeing the Democrat Party being taken over by communists. Their goal is to cause a confrontation between Trump and a bunch of Democrat states and they've proven it's very easy for them to have riots on demand in blue states.

Nearly all of the foreigners, I think there were one or two who were conservative, an Aussie and a Brit, were leftists/progressives types.
All the lefty foreigners were absolutely certain Americans were the most racist, bigoted on the planet, especially the conservatives, because of recent American history.
The issue of illegal immigration came up even back then and they piled on a poster for writing "Wetback" and it turned into another example of the cruelty of the Americans.
And I always thought back then, seeing, even back then, the amount of Muslims immigrants that every one of their countries were allowing in and I knew, one day, that they'd figure America out real quick once this "Multi-Culti" attitude they loved was going to come back to bite them.
I bet all those shitlibs on that forum are finally understanding what Americans have been dealing with.

Despite the reapportioned districts, our expectation given these results is that the Democrats will gain at least 30 seats in the House. They also have a shot at winning at least six Senate seats and flipping control in a full wave.
This assumes Democrats win in Texas, Ohio, Maine, Iowa, Alaska and Kansas. And hold on to seats in Georgia, Michigan, New Hampshire, and Minnesota.
Seems crazy to me.

Yes, that's why as WaPo reported yesterday they are coordinating with blue state governors and leaders.
Again, they are not looking to build and army to take on our armed forces, they are planning to break the country by having key blue areas refuse to cooperate with the Trump administration and cause a crisis of confidence in the country.

Yes, its complicated. But not even Pritzker can do anything of note outside of Chicago. If they show up to burn down any other place the county sherriffs will start arresting and shooting before they know what happened.
They've got no juice outside of a handful of big large metropolitan areas that under blue rule. They go anywhere else, locals will deal with them. Very strongly. There won't be immediate bail, and there won't be help from local politicians.
It's a threat, with no real bite, because the people it harms aren't on our side, so frankly I don't give a damn. And when Mayor Johnson refuses Trump's help to stop the rioting in Chicago - Trump just lets it burn, and watches Pritzker's political hopes go up in flames with them.

Disney Groomer Corporation's Propaganda Division: There Is No Evidence -- NONE! -- Connecting Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed to the Muslim Brotherhood or Any Other Islamic Extremist Group
ABC "News" are just mob lawyers for the Democrat Party.
Ben ShapiroEven the New York Times admits this evidence:
@benshapiro 2h "Without providing evidence?" El-Sayed literally signed a letter in 2012 in support of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. His campaign refuses to explain it.
Ed Morrissey notes some more evidence, which ABC hides from its audience.
His sister said his family was MB. His father in law, who is a founding member of ISNA -- an offshoot of the MB -- donated hundreds of thousands to his campaign. There is not a single anti-MB measure he supports. He says about Islamic terrorists trying to murder Jewish kindergarteners, "Hurt people hurt people," and equates Dearborn-based terrorists trying to kill schoolkids with the IDF's targeted killing of Hezbollah members. He was caught on tape during this campaign saying he wouldn't say anything about Ayatollah Khamenei's death because too many of his constituents were upset about it. He campaigns with Hasan Piker, who says Hamas is better than Israel and speaks warmly of Hezbollah. There is no more thoroughly sourced claim in politics than that El-Sayed is sympathetic to radical Islam and connected to Islamic extremists.
. I did a roundup earlier this week, in fact, of the evidence that ABC News and all of its reporters, editors, and fact-checkers missed in order to air these bald-faced lies: Let us count the ways in which El-Sayed connects with the Muslim Brotherhood, especially financially: Father-in-law Tayeb Jukaku sits on the boards of CAIR and ISNA, both unindicted co-conspirators in the Holy Land Foundation money-laundering case that funded Hamas and both subsidiaries of the Muslim Brotherhood. Jukaku has also funded a super PAC backing El-Sayed, where the money's origins can be hidden from public exposure. El-Sayed had to scrub his public praise for Imam Abdelhamid Algizawi, a local cleric whose sermons praised Hamas leaders, also a Muslim Brotherhood subsidiary. El-Sayed appeared repeatedly with another Dearborn imam, Mohammad Ali Elahi, who turns out to be a former Iranian IRGC official who idolized Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. El-Sayed appeared at the opening of a mosque headed by Hassan Qazwini in June. Qazwini urged his congregants to vote for El-Sayed to "deal the Zionists a blow," and praised Iran for having "stood firm" against the United States. El-Sayed spent Labor Day weekend at the ISNA convention in Detroit, the one in which one speaker promised that "America is going down." Again, ISNA is a subsidiary of the Muslim Brotherhood. The New York Post and The Midwesterner reported in August that El-Sayed's mother helped launder money to al-Qaeda and the Taliban while working for the Islamic American Relief Agency (IARA) from 1999 until at least 2004. Some of the money that IARA moved funded Hamas too, which is -- again -- a subsidiary of the Muslim Brotherhood. Note well that I haven't even mentioned Hasan Piker in this list.
In the second hour of 'GMA,' Jay O'Brien doubled down, insisting "Rogers, without evidence, attempt[ed] to link el-Sayed to Islamic extremism." https://t.co/EvJTPl4LdG

Well, there was a story yesterday about how ballot harvesting operations have 40% budget shortfalls, so that sort of thing is part of it.
The other is genuine black turnout issues. Boomer blacks are the most loyal, and they're dying. Younger generations vote at far lower rates. Blacks have also been shafted more than once in the Democrat primaries this year in very public fashion, mostly with Crockett in TX (there was also El-Sayed in MI who was the clear racial disfavored candidate based on black precinct voting which HEAVILY favored doughy white girl, methinks blacks aren't huge fans of Arab Muslims), and I assume it's having a knock on effect across the national black community telling them to check out because the D party doesn't appreciate them.
Also, several years of the D party publicly making it clear that illegals and Muslims are more important now.
They're not turning R. They're just checking out.

This is on top of already-existing problems he has with core Democrap groups, mainly blacks and secular Jews.

And GA does have a racial angle: their candidate for governor is a black lady. Sure, that black lady is Bottoms, who let Atlanta burn, but still. Racial solidarity means that blacks have to turn out, right? Any black face in a storm?

I wonder if a better strategy would have been to just pretend the MB is just a civil rights advocacy group, no big deal at all. "Sure I support groups pushing for civil rights and equality. Don't you?"
The more he denies the undeniable it proves the MB is so toxic that even a jihadi would run. That creates smoke which looks like fire.
Claiming the MB is just an advocacy group is total bullshit, but it might have been a better strategy. It worked for the IRA for a while.

Ilhan Nur Said Elmi. THIS was not the name she put on her sworn affidavit to register as a candidate for the US House of Representatives. So, Perjury (both State Level and Federal Level). But, that's not the point.
The point is that there really could have been a major "constitutional crisis" ( an overused term that I'm not fond of).
H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act passed by a single House vote (215-214) Every democrat voted against it. Two republicans (Massie and Davidson) voted against it. One republican voted "present". Now, imagine if they had been able to defeat that bit with 2 more republicans voting against. ICE and Border Sec. doesn't get funded.
And, one of those votes that defeated the legislation would have been an individual (Ilhan Nur Said Elmi) who was not qualified to serve or vote.

And then there's the justice stuff that led to Iryna's killer being on the streets.
Cooper's far less popular than his last statewide election, and the electorate has shifted heavily away from the Democrat party since his last election in 2020.
But...early voting did see a very, VERY big Democrat lead form on day one, ahistorically big. But, the trend this year has been big Dem lead on day 1 dissipating no later than day 3 and then just steadily eroding ever after. We're seeing that in NC, and it's only a question of how far it goes.

National election survey since the fifties had to recognize something like a 20 point gap in those that claimed to have voted and those that actually did.

I think he's trying to defuse the Dangerous Terrorist Stereotype. A gas station addul is mostly innocuous and friendly so by using the imagery he is actually replacing the true danger he represents.
That's why he didn't say "I'm not Mohammed Atta" because that would stick in a different way. Like "I am not a witch".
He wants you to look and see gas buddy because there isn't room psychologically for multiple strong stereotypes. To me it was targeted to give him an air of harmlessness, probably mostly to female voters.

"Democrats will win FL because they have a D+5 advantage in early voting," is stupid shit that leftist election Twitter does all day every day. Nevermind that the GOP will win election day in FL by 30 like they do every cycle.
"Democrats winning FL EV by 5 isn't enough to overcome the GOP's advantage on election day based on history of how well both parties do in both parts of the election season," is the better way.
Lots of people do the first. Fewer people do the second.

Constitutional supremacy: Article VI makes the Constitution and federal law supreme; a competing legal authority could not displace them.
Religious establishment: Government adopting a religious legal code as its own could conflict with the First Amendment’s bar on establishing religion.
Freedom of religion: Coercing religious observance—or punishing people for leaving or rejecting a faith—would conflict with free-exercise protections.
Equal protection: Rules that assign different civil rights or legal status based on religion or sex could conflict with constitutional equality guarantees.
Due process: Punishments or proceedings that bypass fair procedures, impartial decision-makers, or other due-process protections would be unconstitutional.

Cruel and unusual punishment: Punishments that violate the Eighth Amendment could not be imposed, regardless of religious justification.
Speech and expression: Criminalizing criticism, religious disagreement, or other protected expression would conflict with First Amendment protections.
Limits on government power: A religious authority exercising public power without constitutional authorization would raise separation-of-powers and accountability problems.
Marriage and family rights: State rules that deny protections or legal remedies guaranteed under U.S. law could be challenged under constitutional and statutory protections.
No religious veto over civil law: Religious beliefs do not automatically exempt someone from neutral laws; exemptions depend on the applicable law and circumstances.

Where ev exists, it is solid data that polling isn't . While the assumption is that ev will follow party lines versus polling claiming to be a representative sample. Polarized voting since trump really means party defections are low, even more so since the Dems nationalized this election forcing Dem candidates to rigid party messaging to prevent far left partisans from staying home.
Ideally a pollster should adjust their likely voter weights to who have showed up early to vote. I suspect some have.
Real weakness on EV is Indy voter breakout, gets complicated but Indy are actually leaners that vary by state. There you have to know past history of counties and precincts and get a handle on r versus d leaner turnout and votes.

Then Annie stands in her doctor outfit in another ad that she does not support transgender girls (boys) in girls sports, or transgender treatment and surgeries for children.
Darline isn’t attacking Andrews directly in her ads.
Instead, the PAC ads are doing it for her. These ads accuse Andrews of everything she denies in her ad about trans kids.
Darline’s own ads are Trump endorsed her and smiling, happy, faces and sunshine and roses.
This is the Dems trying to make Darline out as a hypocrite on LGBTQ issues.

The final Platner accuser was like "I felt him cum inside me". Her story though gross read less like accusation and more like Morning Milking Farm.
It was all done to get Masculinity and Democrat in under the radar of the mostly idiot females (their prime voting target). Neither Swalwell or Platner had to stand and declare they were masculine. The accusations did it for them.

Elmo made a blatant antisemitic remark, the resolution to censure her ended up as a vague and general "Antisemitism is bad, m-Kay?!"
So, here's what has to happen. The Congress needs to vote to not seat Elmo. I still suspect there could be plenty of Pubs in DC who still want to fly the finger at Donald Trump.
They couldn't get it done before as a vote against her.

A hole on the Moon just turned out to be the front door to a 50 km tunnel.
Japan’s Kaguya orbiter first spotted it. A pit about 50 metres wide and 50 metres deep, sitting in the Marius Hills on the Moon’s near side.
Then JAXA pointed the probe’s radar underground. The echoes came back with something huge: a lava tube roughly 100 metres wide, running about 50 km, and still intact. No collapse.
Scientists think it was carved by volcanic activity around 3.5 billion years ago. There may even be ice or water locked in the rocks inside.
That’s why JAXA thinks it could become a lunar base. Shelter from radiation, micrometeorites and brutal temperature swings, all built in.

The only appealing thing about Annie Andrews is that she is a doctor instead of a lawyer.
But that there is some evidence she supports the transgender craze, or dud, kinda of cuts that positive at the knees.
Darline isn’t a lawyer either, and while I would have preferred a real primary without a Graham, I believe she is a more loyal vote in the Senate for Trump than her brother was.
Darline will probably win by several points.

Lava tubes are common here on Earth, too, and the mechanism of their formation is pretty much self-evident. A lave flow freezes on top, insulating the fluid lave below from freezing, for a while. Eventually, though, it all begins to freeze, save for some areas, and the fluid lava runs out, leaving an empty channel behind. You can find similar channels under melting glaciers. With much lower gravity, lava tubes on the Moon are less likely to collapse.

The line was fairly long (but not interminable) for mid-cycle early voting. I take this as a good sign, as my precinct is heavily Republican.
Interestingly, they've changed from electronic-assisted voting to pure paper ballot, where you have to fill in the oval with a pen. This, IMHO, is a downgrade. The prior electronic-assisted method was nearly perfect--you voted via a touch-screen, but the machine then printed out a human-readable ballot (that you could verify to be correct) that you then fed into the tabulator.
