Wednesday Night ONT - June 11, 2026 [TRex]

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

Welcome to the Wednesday night ONT which means another edition of random overnight fun and games. Pull up a chair and join the fun. Good will offerings of amusing puns are encouraged. Pants are optional but why would you be wearing pants for the ONT? Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors. This is a Tucker, Candace, Megyn and Bill Kristol free zone. Please.

Will reading the ONT content improve your odds of winning the Powerball lottery? Dunno but couldn't hurt to read the content and ensure you're right with the universe.

This seems newsy...

Antares Achieves Criticality of Mark-0 Reactor

Antares today announced that its Mark-0 microreactor achieved initial criticality at Idaho National Laboratory (INL) under U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) authorization - making Antares the first private company to bring an advanced reactor to criticality under the DOE Reactor Pilot Program. The demonstration was conducted in partnership with DOE, INL, and BWX Technologies, Inc. (BWXT), with integration and observation support from the U.S. Army.

This reactor validates key reactor physics parameters for Antares' reactors and contributes verification and validation data back to the Department of War's Project Pele. The Mark-0 was authorized by DOE under the Reactor Pilot Program, with the U.S. Army integrated throughout as a future end user. This model of interagency coordination directly supports the Army's microreactor deployment timeline.

The demonstration and the licensing pathway it establishes represent a key step toward deploying electricity-producing microreactors for U.S. military installations by September 30, 2028.

Shakeup at JPL? Control over iconic NASA center could change for 1st time in nearly 100 years

NASA plans to open up competition for control over the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), which has historically been operated by the California Institute of Technology (Caltech). This move is part of an even larger reorganization by the agency (though NASA asserts that this doesn't mean layoffs).

"NASA announced today that they will compete the contract for operating JPL, with Caltech's current agreement ending on Sept. 30, 2028," reads a statement today (May 22) from JPL. Caltech has managed JPL since the lab's inception in the 1930s, and has done so for NASA since the agency was established in 1958. According to the JPL statement, Caltech has been preparing for this possible transition since last summer, so the news "comes as no surprise." But the potential change is part of a larger shakeup for the agency.

Until now, JPL and Caltech have been heavily intertwined, with mission personnel, scientists, leadership, and others working closely "across the pond" between JPL and Caltech. JPL mission and program meetings often include Caltech employees and sometimes even take place on its Pasadena campus.

Wednesday ONT Department of Resting Places

Never seen this before, not new, and don't have any idea how it found me. Pretty sure that means that I must share it with you.

A visit to Plot E - final resting place of the the dishonored dead.

Plot E of the Oise-Aisne American cemetery in northern France.
Go ahead and look. You won't find it listed on the Veterans Administration website, nor any of the literature provided by the cemetery. Maps will show Plots A, B, C, and D only, those containing 6012 American dead from WWI. Google Earth will just show an expanse of green. It's like it doesn't exist, which is exactly what its creators intended.
But it's very much there, and serves a necessary if somewhat unsavory purpose.
Plot E is where American servicemen are buried who were executed - by firing squad or hanging - for capital crimes committed in the European theatre during or shortly after WWII.
Some of the victims were children. Many were women. Most are forgotten by the modern age, though at least one - Sir Eric Teichman, killed on his ancestral estate confronting two U.S. soldiers poaching on the land - was a prominent member of society who still has his own Wikipedia page.

Wednesday ONT Fashion Thread

Bona fide T. rex leather purse is going up for auction - and it could fetch $500K

Bidding paddles are sure to go flying in the air as auctioneer Alexandre Giquello of Hôtel Drouot in Paris, France, accepts offers on the first-ever handbag made with collagen from lab-grown Tyrannosaurus rex fossils, which were reportedly exhumed in the US...
With an asking price ranging from €300,000 to 500,000 ($347,081 to $578,469), the ancient accessory is an expensive, albeit exclusive piece that will go to the highest bidder with the deepest pockets.
Following an extensive process - including harvesting T. rex DNA, conducting phylogenetic analyses, inserting the materials into a specialized bio-leather cell line genome, transforming the cells into skin and sustainably tanning the skin to create the leather - the scientists have managed to make primeval magic.

Should I be impressed with the scientific homage to prehistoric dino ancestors or horrified at the involuntary transformation of T. rex DNA into a purse?

Eess next...dino wear. Very nice.

YouTube is filled with niche channels. When anyone can broadcast their own content, the barriers to entry are low. The possibility of monetization creates incentives to create content. Of course, easier access does not mean higher quality. There is a staggering amount of garbage, but there are gems out there.

People with very specific content somehow get connected to others with sympathies for that specific content. Instead of "broadcasting," it is called "narrowcasting." More to say about this in coming ONTs, but we're going to feature one niche YouTube channel with a surprisingly (at least to me) large following each Wednesday.

Tonight's feature is Matt Horn, the drum tech. 96k+ subscribers and videos that often exceed 100k views each. His videos are usually his point of view as he goes about his working day and does his job. Nothing fancy. No highly polished graphics or editing. No bad narrator or overhyped dramatic background music.

The Pittsburgh police scanner keeps giving. Tonight's offering is particularly bountiful. Thank you people of Pittsburgh and thank you Pittsburgh scanner!

I was in an antiques store last Christmas season and saw a young couple, maybe early 20s, looking at such a phone. The guy was telling the girl 'I think my grandma had one of these'.

Friendly, helpful guy that I am I showed them how it worked and started describing how area codes with low numbers went to more populated areas and how at one time you'd get a live operator to help you.

I think I scared them a little.

I had something like that happen to me a couple of years ago. As I was entering the Harbor Freeway a somewhat well dressed man was stopped on the side of the on-ramp. He was out of his car signaling frantically like he needed help. I thought I saw a woman in the car. Thinking it might be a medical emergency I called 911 which rings into the CHP. I described the situation and the dispatcher described him back to a 'T' before I even finished.

'Oh that's just so and do. So that's where he is today. It's a scam. People stop and he tries to sell them jewelry or something.' We'll send someone out to get him off the ramp....

There is a perfectly logical explanation for this. The dude riding the motorbike just broke the monkey out of a make-shift cage. He had been forced to perform slave labor dancing for an Organ Grinder who was part of the City Restoration program at Bakery Square. The Grinder gave pursuit, but the monkey was near sighted, so the Motorbike dude took no chances and was macing everyone.

The current thinking is that Theropods, (T-rexes, deinonychus, all of them two footed dinos) included various bird genus, of which only Aves, modern birds that is, survived the KT event.
And most theropods had feathers, the way that pterosaurs and azhdarchids had pycnofibers and were "fuzzy".
There is no evidence that T-Rexes had feathers, though they may have had some on a ruff on the neck, or on the spine.

My dad's old phone had no dial. You just picked up the receiver, hit the hook once, and told the operator whom you wished to speak with.

We had a party line, with four other houses on the line. Best way to catch up on the local gossip, since most of the ladies were home all day and once the housework was done, they yakked endlessly. Heaven forbid I should want to phone a friend. No time for that, honey.

There’s a Chinese fossil bed that has produced some truly spectacular finds, incredible detail. Casts of skin with pinion holes and all kinds of stuff.

Should add that the line thought to be related to birds is the Theropods, the Bird Hipped dinosaurs. Most of the predators and 2 legged ones. The Sauropods, the great big ones, still look like they completely died out, as did the marine creatures like the Mosasaur.

Interesting trivia.

When Florida changed their license plate format to 3 letters and three numbers back in the late '70's, it became common knowledge that plates starting with 'Z' were rental cars. I recall they had to change it after a few incidents of tourists being targeted because of the plate.

The first I visited D.C. was in '98, when I met a guy who constantly got calls from tourists. The city was small enough that local calls didn't need an area code, so you had to prepend a 1- to call out.

So as I understand it, what would happen is that if you were visiting D.C., tried to call someone from a certain place, and didn't preface it with 1- for long distance, then the area code, prefix, and first digit of the suffix would turn into his local seven-digit number and ring his cell phone before you could finish dialing.

So he turned it into a sort of game, a magic trick, telling strangers where they were from, since he knew the area code and prefix they were attempting to call.

The pulse-jet engine from the Nazi V1 buzz bomb was a pretty simple device, and could have easily been built with tools and equipment from the WW1 era. Two of those engines would have made most biplanes of the day into real performers. Now there are pulsejets that you or I can build that have zero moving parts, and generate pretty substantial thrust. See on the tewb of ewes.

17 Semi-willowed (I knew the other thread was on its last legs):

When I wrote Long Live Death, I had US politics very much in mind, but the same dynamic at work in 1936 Spain is now in place all over Europe. You have political leaders who by their own actions are undermining government institutions and legitimacy. The normal parliamentary/electoral processes have been circumvented, and instead of debate, there is censorship and oppression. The promise of democracy has been taken away.

Now Spain is an obscure topic in the US, either a cool leftist Lost Cause or a chapter in the road to WW II. But it is very much present in Europe, and I want to ask people a question I have not posed before: What if the collapse of Western Europe's militaries isn't about dependency but about political danger? Europe very much as a military caste, people who have a family lineage of military service. They are fiercely patriotic and it transcends class boundaries. The aristocrats and point to holding commissions for centuries, while the enlisted regard it as a way of life.

You also start selective prosecutions of war heroes, which is going on in the UK and Australia. Break the military caste, take them off the table. Canada is trying to recruit third-worlders to fill the ranks but they hate each other too much to make it work.

This leads us to Belfast. Both Protestant and Catholic are united. The local police are helpless. The paramilitaries will see to that. So what to do? Well, the Army is pathetic, and might switch teams. Maybe drafts of riot police from Blighty? They'd be eaten alive.

In 2020, Tom Cotton got his opponent to drop out the day after the nomination was final by dropping his oppo in one chunk. He ran against a Libertarian that year and spent no money.

I suspect Collins will try something similar. July 14th, or so. Bastille Day would be a nice moment to drop all the shit Collins has dug up on him over the last 6 months.

He won't drop out because he's a narcissistic nepo-baby Nazi who's got nothing else in life but this moment where he's finally important, but it should be bad enough that the Democrat party nationally just stops funding him.

I also suspect that Blackwater didn't renew his contract, or something, after he was found out to have murdered civilians. He seems the type.

97 Spain had a couple of major problems following the loss of the SpanAm war, the first one was the collapse of the belief that the problems and corruption of the Spanish colonial state was worth keeping Spain in its spot as an international force politically and socially. This left a huge problem in a state that really did hold itself together by a shared history, but was incredibly fractured politically and socially. The Generation of 98 was one attempt to find a new path, and of course you had the political conservatives who wanted things to continue on the way they had been. Include with that the communists and Anarchists, and the completely antiquated industrial base that had relied on the government to keep it from failure.
Spain was not involved in WWI because of the political instability, and they made far more money selling arms

Now, no Trump on the ballot, a terrible candidate against her, no covid or BLM...She's much more likely to return to 2014 levels (she won by about 40) than have a close race.

Also, polling in Maine is trash. They are always outside the margin of error.

Problem is that Maine is one of our oldest states and Collins usually wins with GOP holding their nose plus independents. Not enough Democrats to make a majority and by election time, Platner will be stinking worse than a week old dead fish.

Kennedy got in via his brothers and stayed in because he had his staff do all the work for him. He survived Chappaquiddick politically because a) he was an incumbent, b) he was viewed as that poor guy who lost both his brothers. Platner has none of that going for him.

After Rep. Garcia (D-CA) claimed that the hearing on ActBlue is nothing more than a charade, Rep. Jim Jordan made him eat his own words.

"Let's be clear. We're here because ACTBlue's legal counsel said Ms. Wallace-Jones lied to Congress, willfully and knowingly misled the Congress of the United States. That's why we're here."

Jordan then asked her these six questions. Her answer to every single one was the same:

"On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer the question pursuant to my Fifth Amendment rights under the Constitution."

- "How much fraud is too much fraud?"
- "How many foreign contributions did ACTBlue accept?"
- "How much money did ACTBlue accept from Russia?"
- "Why did your entire legal team quit, your in-house legal team?"
- "Did your legal team quit because of reduced fraud standards?"
- "Did you weaken your fraud standards to help Democrats?"

This is an eye-opener that everyone should watch.

145 Honestly, though, no one thought to prevent Franco, since they were focused on exiling or destroying Sanjurjo and Mola who were the "natural" centers of power for the right. Franco popped up because he was trusted by everyone. If Sanjurjo had survived his plane flight, it would have been just another in a long stream of rebellions since he was the perfect officer to lead the coup, which would have acted the same as always until the counter-coup or lost election

Europe is now attempting to create economic stasis in the EU by creating a rules-based corporate state, with controlled banking and regulation bounds instead of direct ownership. I think the Migrants are brought in to destroy any power of labor as a class, and destroy its political center.

Labor is a required class in a fascist (corporate state) economics system, and the hardest to control. By breaking its power, the power is in the money and manufacturing interests, which can be controlled by laws and regulations developed for their own benefits.

Rule of thumb is constituent service is worth about 5 percentage points to an incumbent if they are good at it. If they suck, subtract from the baseline vote.

5 percent is often enough to win even when a politician's politics or personality are not liked (see Lindsay Graham as an example). He survived his biggest primary challenge just now because he inherited Strom's organization which is now his own.

For DIP, the MoD needs like 18 billion to modernize. The government can't borrow anymore, reasons not made clear, and the other departments are fiercely protecting their budgets.

One possible casualty is the future Type 83 destroyer that the Brits have only now started to design with a deployment date in 2040. They are supposed to replace the Type 45 destroyers, which are already almost 20 years old. And we think the US Navy's ship building program is messed up.

I've seen it.

He's a self-serving hack covering up for the fact that his hand-drawn stuff looks like shit.

The main characters, from beginning to end, are rotoscoped. You can tell by looking at them, not to mention the documentary evidence that he actually did film the whole thing before animating it. (He also did it on American Pop.) It's not just the xerox stuff towards the end in the battle which was a cost-cutting measure that he learned on Wizards (which is absolute trash).

Yes, he ran out of money, because he's a terrible person and manager who can't deal with people in real life, so he couldn't manage his team of animators.

Genuinely, he is a bad person and not very good at making movies, but he stuck sort of close to Tolkien to overcome his narrative defects while using rotoscoping as a crutch to make his film look halfway decent.

Lord of the Rings is one of his best, yes. But it's still not...good. And it's one of his best.

Smoke was seen rising from southern Tehran after reports of a strike on what Islamic Republic state media described as a "carpet warehouse."

Veteran Iran-watchers have learned to be skeptical of these labels. Facilities officially described as warehouses, factories, or industrial sites have repeatedly been linked to IRGC personnel, weapons storage, or military activity.

Meanwhile, President Trump says the Islamic Republic’s military has been "completely defeated" and warns the regime will "pay the price" for refusing a deal.

BREAKING: Joint U.S. and Israeli combat aircraft operating over Tehran have conducted an airstrike against what appears to be an Iranian Air Defense Force air-defense site in the vicinity of Pishva, Varamin, southeast of the Iranian capital.

Multiple eyewitness reports from Pishva, Varamin, and nearby Pakdasht indicate that at least two powerful explosions occurred between 04:05 and 04:08 local time. Residents reported hearing two successive detonations strong enough to shake homes, with witnesses across the area describing significant blast waves

Footage showed dozens of men dressed all in black and wearing face coverings gathering on Antrim Road in Newtownabbey, Co Antrim, and throwing objects at a line of eight police vehicles."

Well. I've never even pulled a weapon on anyone, let alone used one --- not even in defense, let alone to attack -- but I never thought of any of that as an *accomplishment* until now. That's where we're at now. "I haven't knifed anyone today" is the new "I take care of my kids," and I don't like where the line created by those two points is heading.

Here’s what Bondi’s team discovered on the server in Tehran under Obama’s codename RENEGADE:

— 14 money transfers to a Swiss account linked to Hezbollah between 2014 - 2016 , totaling 1.7 billion dollars , the exact amount he told Congress was “seized Iranian assets.”

— His signed order, allowing the CIA to halt operations during the Bengazi attack, not printed but handwritten.

— Communications with Epstein‘s handlers’s, dated March 2015 , discussing the “island deal” and the “Chicago package.”

— Secret channels of contact with Tehran via Valerie Jarrett , used from 2012 to 2024. Yes , 2024 — two years after he left office.
He didn’t just betray America. he’s running a shadow government from a basement in Washington DC ,while pretending to be retired. his lawyers are offering for cooperation in exchange for protection.

One of the problems with telling what's AI and what's not is that although LLMs can't math, that is also true of many humans. You don't hear about dysnumeria as much as dyslexia, but it's a real thing, and as devastating in its way since we mostly use numbers to teach analytical thinking, except for a high school geometry class that they might never reach.

378 Finally catching up with the prior thread, and guys, when you find a rhetorical kill-shot, you stop looking. Two-Tier Keir is so devastating, the fact he's still Prime Minister proves that the English are a conquered and ruled people with a farce of a pretend democracy that's just there to give legitimacy to tyranny. He would not even be able to show his face in public otherwise.

Queer Starmer is just as ineffectual as rhetoric as he is as a person, since any rhetoric you have to explain is bad rhetoric, and you would have to explain both why he keeps getting Ukrainian male models mad at him and also that you mean 'queer' as a slur.

And that is the best of the also-rans. You have a nuclear strike in your pocket, just keep using it.

Posted by: whig at June 10, 2026 08:04 PM (E4rtv)

I wrote a longer piece long ago about how Arab armies always fail against Western Armies because they're a submission culture, not an honor culture. It's all because of Islam - all must submit to the Will of Allah as the ultimate arbiter of Justice, and what the individual does makes no difference.

Translated into fighting reality, Arab Armies are passionate and will gladly sacrifice themselves as long as they think they are winning, and Allah is On Their Side. But as soon as they start losing, it is obvious that Allah has decided against them, and there is no hope. At that point they all throw their weapons down, change into civilian clothing, and run away from the fight. They have no concept of fighting for their own honor, even if the battle is lost. Not only Western culture has that, it made the Bushido Culture the most feared fighters in the world.

But the Muslim mind cannot even grasp it.

After Single Night of Fiery But Mostly Peaceful Protests, Two-Tier Keir Starmer, Who Did Not Mention Henry Nowak Until the Video of His Police-Assisted Murder Was Released, Is Johnny-on-the-Spot in Condemning Riots

Belfast experienced some rioting last night.

The riots were, as the US media described the BLM riots, "fiery but mostly peaceful." There was disorder, Some People Set Fire to Some Vehicles, a house was burned, but they were "mostly peaceful," meaning no one was killed.

Fiery but mostly peaceful: The left has told us before that this is a perfectly acceptable and justifiable level of public disorder, at least when they want to press their political claims in the street.

"Riots are the voice of the unheard," they lectured us in the media.

The left in the UK is freaking out about the same level of rioting that they cheered on in the US.

Keir Starmer didn't condemn the BLM riots, of course. He called them "peaceful protests" by people "rightly demanding justice" and attacked Trump for opposing those riots.

But these riots -- these are not Good Riots.

Keir Starmer
@Keir_Starmer

The scenes in Belfast last night were shocking and completely unacceptable.
There is no justification for the violence and disorder that we saw threatening our communities, nor for those who encouraged it, online or elsewhere.
It is clear that people were targeted last night because of their background and I will not tolerate it. Those responsible will feel the full force of the law.
I've spoken to the Chief Constable of the Police Service of Northern Ireland to convey my thanks to them and the frontline emergency services for their bravery in keeping people safe. I've also spoken to the First Minister and Deputy First Minister to discuss the ongoing situation.
Appealing for calm must be the priority, and that is what I urge now. We must let the police get on with their work.

You know what I say? I am shocked and angered at the attempted beheading, and the reaction of the UK authorities to peaceful protests by people rightly demanding justice has been an affront to humanity.

That's exactly what you said, Keir. So fuck you.

George Floyd protests = GOOD ✅
Vs.
Belfast protests = BAD ❌

Does Keir Starmer and Labour plan on cracking down on illegal immigration and the psychopathic violence it has unleashed?

No -- but they are promising to crack down anyone complaining about it.

How predictable was this, the British Parliament and Keir Starmer are using the outcry over an immigrant trying to behead a man on the streets, to attack Elon Musk and X.

The protesters in NI have already shown a significantly higher level of organization than anything thus far. And if he pulls troops from Britain proper to suppress the riots...well, people in cities like Southampton might get ideas.

15 The guy who was cutting off the Irish man's head was brought in by the Conservative Party.

The secretaries responsible for his immigration have switched to Reform.

Which means Reform is super serious about stopping the immigration because it's essentially just the Conservative Party that allowed it but with a new name.

People from muslham, African or Asian countries are already used to government oppression and anti-free thought. Older Brits and UK people in general know what freedom is and continue to yearn for it. Younger generations are brainwashed in the schools, so they're not as much of an issue.

Starmer will only leave office when forced out, and the many dissident Labour MPs are currently waiting for Andy Burnham, currently the mayor of Manchester, to win a by-election (following the resignation of a sitting Labour MP for this purpose), so that he can be a candidate for party leader and Prime Minister.

This by-election will occur on June 18, and of course more time will be required for parliamentary machinations to replace Starmer with Burnham, if the latter wins.

Yes, Restore is solid.

What I am saying is that the nation would be blessed to have that implemented in contrast to a bloody civil war.

I think it is more likely that there will be rivers of blood on the streets. White "no-go" zones where people mysteriously develop holes, and where authorities are also not safe.

Now they burn houses, but they could be burning Parliament. Things can get very very ugly, very very quick.

"Burning people out" is an ancient practice in Ireland. What we are seeing is that the "paras" never really disbanded and this is a problem for the Establishment.

The reason the British Army had to intervene in Ulster was that the local police (Royal Ulster Constabulary) was both undisciplined and also being hunted down by the IRA.

That is still the case. They know who the local cops are, and where they live. The cops also know this.

The idea of bringing in riot cops from England is being mooted, but they're all pussies, not used to guys willing to go to prison.

I think it is more akin to primordial fear that their values are in fact evil and destructive rather than good. Same as why Muslims cry out haram everywhere. It is an expression of weakness, not strength and carried forth with desperation and ill intent to make the opposition shut up about the truth compared to lies that the left tells themselves as well as everyone else.

Nowadays, the left is no better than the Thuggee cult, less in some ways as the Thuggee cult did their dirty work themselves. The left imports savages to do the same.

I think the left is now bereft of any ideas other than destruction and they are despairing because they can see no way forward to their utopia unless they destroy their enemies. So they are burning the remnants of any moral qualms and steeling themselves to become the very monsters that they tell themselves that the Right and normies are.

Rough air is ahead and the damage remains to be counted but we are, as Churchill said, "Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning."

231 The Irish threw their revolt into the teeth of the British lion in 1916 on Easter. There is so much bad blood and that comes from the egregious penal laws of over 300 years from the time of Cromwell up to just after the Napoleonic Wars and beyond. Many revolts, famines and the only reason laws started to be lifted was because England took Irish Catholic men for soldiers during the Napoleonic wars. The only job they could get. The Easter Rebellion was brutal and the British had to keep Ulster since it was mainly Protestant. Ireland is not whole and that doesn’t appear to be changing and their government is just as bad as the English.

Looks like reform is the containment party and is now analogous to the r i n O's. And Nigel mirage, whom I used to like, has said bluntly that he is not willing to deport people because it just can't be done. When he got blowback he changed his Weathervane again.

Really a Pity because he's a talented public speaker and when he's firing in the right direction, he does fire for effect. But he's not the man and Elon Musk happens to be right about that. I don't give unthinking credit to what Elon says but he sure is right on this point.

Trump Signs Bill to Fund DHS and ICE Throughout the Rest of His Term

The 80-day long (IIRC) Democrat shutdown resulted in chaos and disruption but ultimately failed.

They're the party of chaos and disruption, riots and "teen takeovers," subway knife attacks and women having their throats slashed open by infinitely-indulged homeless maniacs.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday signed legislation to fund key immigration enforcement agencies through the end of his term after Congress approved the package via the reconciliation process.
"This morning, I'm thrilled to sign the Secure America Act to immediately and fully fund the Department of Homeland Security through the end of my term," he said at the signing ceremony in the Oval Office.
The legislation followed a record-breaking shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security, which Democrats orchestrated in a bid to secure immigration enforcement policy concessions. Ultimately, the shutdown ended with Congress passing a bill to fund DHS that excluded funds for Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

She has seniority and would lose chair positions on committees if she switched now. That would eliminate one of the few remaining reasons for her reelection.

My guess is both Iraq and Iran have figured out how to slant drill to access Iranian oil, the borders between those two states and Iran is a matter of a few miles.

She has been voting pretty consistently with the Dems since Trump reentered the White House. I think her leverage is getting less and less by the day and a new Senate that is roughly the same size majority is likely to trim her even more. Her friends are leaving the Senate and the new ones are unlikely to want to be like her.

Pretty strategic, but since the bill was going to pass anyway there’s no real reason to not go along with her own party here other than spite.

Unless she’s got some moral objection and I’ve never thought of Murkowski as a person with morals.

That was the point I was making, Thune may not have the will to save her as he is facing difficulties in winning reelection himself. Both him and Mike Rounds have approval ratings in the toilet.

Thune won his seat in 2002 originally by taking on Sen. Majority Leader Daschle who lost.

93 If you are a dem in a heavy R jurisdiction, you hide it and run as an R.

This is why the most R leaning states often have the worst RINOs.

They master the politics of getting elected, but their heart is with the other party, and often they grift and get elected because they are working for the other side.

(If you are a commie in a D jurisdiction, you run as a D.)

The solution to all this only lies with the party. It is up to the party to cleans these scum off the rolls (in UK it is called "removing the whip" -- that is, removing them from the whip's list of votes used to pass legislation)

So all the blame for people like muckowki goes to the party.

You're right. There was never any impediment to ICE arresting illegal aliens whenever they're released from state or local custody.

Sometimes, in sanctuary cities, they refuse to tell ICE when a prisoner is due for release, I've read. So the problem for ICE is finding them after they're released.

I can't see how Sen. Schmitt's provision changes that at all.

If I'm wrong, I'm sure someone here will call it to my attention... as always.

It means that any local judge, police, jailer that tries to interfere with the arrests can then be federally charged with obstruction. It makes clear that the state and locality of sanctuary laws does not apply in anyway to federal law enforcement actions. And fwiw, any politician issuing orders for his underlings to do such things is now facing charges as well.

🚨 NOW — LAURA LOOMER: How certain are you on our targeting ability to immediately find and finish off and EXECUTE every remaining senior leader within the Islamic Republic of Iran and IRGC?

SECWAR PETE HEGSETH: "Let's just say this Command has used the ceasefire WISELY and with great efficiency to ensure that we're refining our intelligence and target sets in a way that are far, far beyond even the beginning of Epic Fury!"

"So when you see the commencement of Epic Fury, if a conflict were to have to recommence, our ability to target, our ability to sense, our ability to see, our ability to get into networks, has only been vastly improved over time."

"What they have is what they have and if they've dug it out, we'll strike it again if we need to. So we know the terms and we've got always more capability to bring."

IN CUSTODY: Said Abdullahi Ereg – the FIRST EVER arrest of a “Most Wanted Fraudsters” since the White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud released our Most Wanted Fraudsters list last week. Ereg just landed in Minneapolis and was taken into custody after turning himself in. He has been wanted on federal charges since 2024.

Ereg allegedly stole over $4 million from the Federal Child Nutrition Program in Minneapolis during the COVID-19 pandemic from 2020-2021. He allegedly falsely claimed to have served meals to children in need, claiming fake reimbursements from the government, and then laundered the money through foreign accounts to fund a lavish lifestyle. He is charged with Conspiracy to Commit Wire Fraud, Wire Fraud, and Money Laundering.

He pointed out that the problem came about because all UK subjects were equal under the law, and that no longer worked after the war with air transport. It took until 1962 to create new laws that stopped treating them all as having equal rights to fly to England and take root. He was not addressing race, but who belonged to what land. Englishmen had no exclusive right, while all other commonwealth countries did.

The judge's action in hiding an illegal alien were especially egregious, & I believe would constitute obstruction even before the Schmitt provision.

Most of the complaints I heard from my ICE acquaintances, before I retired, involved surreptitious release. Not actual interference with an arrest.

She says that in her opinion as a Real DEI Lawyer, she would have argued that the knife was not a deadly weapon, thus sparing Karmelo Anthony the death penalty, even though the knife is a weapon which was used to inflict an almost-instantly deadly wound.

She's a good lawyer, she really earned that J.D.

She further says that Karmelo Anthony was justified because he didn't want to be "put out in the rain by some random kid that he didn't know, who was larger than him," and claims he was afraid.

Blacks and whites disagree on what blacks are "owed" (and which hasn't already been repaid 50 times over).

But what is new, and what is unaccepable and will absolutely not be accepted, is black people insisting they have the right to literally murder us without punishment in some kind of free-floating when-we-feel-like it Blood Reparations.

If black people continue insisting on this -- and note that no one on earth could or would ever concede that another race has the right to murder them and their children -- they're going to provoke a backlash like the US has not seen before.

She demands mercy. You know, I'll just say it: White people are looking at the huge amounts of "mercy" black people demand when they are caught breaking the law, even killing people, and comparing it to the zero mercy granted to white people.

The sympathy that people have been taught to feel for for blacks is draining away rapidly, as we see that sympathy is being used to justify further murders and outrages against us.

Pretending Not to Notice is not working, and I personally am all done Pretending Not to Notice. All that we have gotten in exchange for it is violence, intimidation, disorder, and murders.

Just last year I would have avoided posting videos like the one below, because I wouldn't want to Inflame Passions.

Well, maybe passions need to be inflamed. I don't see anyone on the left chiding Jasmine Ratchet not to inflame passions or spark riots. That seems like her goal, and the left is all-in on assisting her in that goal.

Here, a degenerate subnormal IQ thug declares that Austin Metcalf's brother should have been murdered as well, just because.

Does that inflame passions? Oh well.

Personally -- I'm done.

The race-murderer thrill-killer Karmelo Anthony was sentenced to a mere 35 years in prison for a looking for a victim to stab and then murdering him. My only consolation is that I imagine 35 years in Texas means something close to 35 years.

Austen Metcalf's mom agrees that 35 years is about 35 years too little:

After Karmelo Anthony was sentenced to 35 years in prison for the murder of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf, the victim's parents delivered emotional impact statements in court.
WFAA-TV reports Austin's mother, Meghan Metcalf, addressed Anthony directly, saying he should consider himself "lucky you got 35 years, because I've been given a life sentence without my son."
She said her family would "never know what our future could have been" and said the loss of her son left their home "quiet."
"For journalists, activists, this is a story. For our family, this is our reality," she said, adding she still hopes to wake up and discover the tragedy was only a "nightmare."
Meghan Metcalf said she now speaks to her son only at his gravesite and stressed "he didn't just die -- he was taken from us."

I can't wait until this piece of shit is raped and killed in prison.

The race-murderer and his degenerate animal supporters claim they're the Real Victims Here.

Karmelo Anthony sobbed Tuesday as he was swiftly convicted of murder in the fatal stabbing of fellow high school jock Austin Metcalf at a track meet -- and his furious supporters raged, "This whole thing's been racist!"
The jury in Collin County deliberated about three hours before finding Anthony, 19, guilty of first-degree murder in the death of the 17-year-old and must now decide whether to put him away for life -- prompting the killer's weeping mom to later take the witness stand and beg for mercy for her son, according to a report by NBC DFW.
"He's my oldest. He'll always be my baby. I love him very much," Anthony's mom, Kala Hayes, sobbed to jurors before they headed into further deliberations to decide his sentence.

As she spoke, Anthony also cried.
"I know my son, and he's very sorry for what he did," Hayes told the jury.

"Please have mercy on my son."
Anthony killed Metcalf during a April 2, 2025, run-in prompted by a dispute over seating at the track and field event in Frisco.
Anthony previously appeared glum, looking down and not immediately speaking with his lawyers, as he entered the courtroom to hear the verdict -- then broke into sobs as it was announced, several outlets in court reported.

Metcalf's twin, Hunter, sat next to his parents in court for the verdict.
Metcalf's stricken mom wept as emotional photos were later shown to jurors deliberating sentencing for her son's killer.
The snapshots captured coaches performing CPR on her mortally wounded son at the track meet after Anthony stabbed him.
Outside the courthouse, about 200 protesters for and against Anthony clashed.
"This whole thing's been racist. We didn't make it racist!" a protester screamed.

Austin Metcalf's father called for race to be put out of mind throughout this disgusting affair.

Anthony, his family, and the degenerates supporting him have made it about nothing but race:

Gibby Turismo
@GibbyTurismo207
Victim Impact Statement, from Jeff Metcalf (father of Austin Metcalf):
"We were robbed, don't look down, of all of these things."
"I said from day one...this was never about race, please don't politicize it."
"But what did you choose to do?"
"Both."
"It's about right and wrong. We're all humans. We all bleed the same color."
"You're free to make choices all you want, but you're not free from those consequences. You will face those consequences starting today."
"People think that grief is sadness, but it's not...IT"S RAGE!!! [slams his hands on the table.] It's pure unfiltered rage!"
"You failed your parents. You failed yourself and you failed society. You don't belong in this community," he said to Karmelo.
"You're going to prison...you can't even look me in the eyes right now, but you can stab my fu#%ing son in the heart!"

What happens when white people decide that they should make it All About Race, too?

Of course these violent sub-morons have never asked themselves that question.

A black man recorded video of himself riding up to a random white man on the street and assaulting him as revenge for the Karmelo Anthony conviction. He accuses him of being part of the jury process in the trial.

Who can say. I don't believe that he was charged with assault with a deadly weapon either. Just, you know, murder. Like, if you strangled someone with your totally non-lethal hands... or, at least, non-lethal when they're not being used to kill.

She spouted words for people who're emotionally charged up to grab onto without comprehension to use to become even more emotionally charged and, probably, kill someone else. But maybe she'll get a payday out of it. She's a jackal. Like all of them.

I confess to not knowing the legalities. I believe two separate things:

1. The way to cut the Gordian Knot of the current impasse with Iran, and eliminate the nuclear Sword of Damocles they have hung over head, is by removing the nuclear material. Since they will presumably try to stop us if we just send some guys with excavators, that means going in full force. And then, if they try to stop us anyway, at least they won't be in a city full of civilians. One way or another, the problem will be solved.

2. Getting it debated in Congress is, I believe, a kind of stealth Win Button. I believe that SJWs are gnostics who are incapable of understanding the average, normal person's concern with physical danger, since they are magical thinkers. I could be wrong.

For reasons unknown went to the opposing team's tent and was kicked out.

Then to Metcalf's tent's team and was asked approx 15 times to leave.

I am unsure why coaches or security did not kick him out of the track meet with his tiny knife in his backpack.

I hurt for his family, especially his twin brother who said (NYT): “You took a son, a brother, a friend, and my best friend, from this world. You took someone from me who was supposed to be an uncle, godfather to my kids. Now I want everything taken from you,” Hunter choked through tears in a Texas courtroom.

Well, every president since the 70s has called the War Powers Act unconstitutional, to begin with.

Secondly, there is specific language in the bill about continuous conflict, and we have a ceasefire. So, even by the text of the bill, the clock would restart (Trump's admin said this explicitly, by the way, a few weeks ago).

Thirdly, Republicans in Congress sued Obama for the Libya campaigning going well over the 60-90 day limit (it went on for 8 months). The case was thrown out because Congress has a solution: the power of the purse.

67 She's a disgrace. The nerve. That poor family.

But she's playing with definitions in Texas law.

There is no maximum legal blade length for adults to own or carry. You can openly or concealed carry a knife of any size anywhere in the state, with the exception of specific "location-restricted" zones.

While you can carry almost any knife size, Texas law sets a specific threshold at 5-½ inches:

5.5 inches or less: Unrestricted. You can carry these knives anywhere in public.

Over 5.5 inches: These are classified as "location-restricted" knives. It is a felony to carry a blade of this size into specific prohibited zones.

Regardless of whether your knife is open or concealed, you cannot carry a location-restricted knife (blade over 5-½ inches) into the following places:
Schools, on school buses, or at educational events. Polling places during voting. Courthouses or government offices Correctional facilities. Racetracks or sporting events. Bars or businesses that get 51% or more of their income from alcohol sales. Airports (federally prohibited in carry-on luggage).

Texas law does not differentiate by opening mechanism.
Texas cities cannot have more restrictive laws.

68 The sympathy that people have been taught to feel for for blacks is draining away rapidly, as we see that sympathy is being used to justify further murders and outrages against us.

Black fatigue is real.

I’ve been feeling it since black fashion became a thing for white people and rock music became an endangered species due to the rap/hip hop infestation.

BLM and The Saint Floyd Memorial Riot Summer made it crystal clear.

The coming of Woke only sealed the deal.

Obama & Crew turned the Democrat party into the Black Panther Democratic Socialist-Maoist Party, so this is all going according to plan.

I expect a great many black people deplore this development since the 1960's, but what, exactly, should they do about it? Any black people who have spoken out about the horseshit have been pariah'ed and pilloried by the very race hustlers they decry.

We DO have a problem with lefty white folks cowtowing to race hustlers and their horseshit. If that were to stop, there would be no profit in it any more, and it would all go away.

If anyone keeps saying it was a *"tiny knife" like he had a plastic spork, remind them that the knife went 2" into Metcalf's heart. Through pectoral muscle of an athelete.

"Collin County Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Elizabeth Ventura testified the "gaping" wound penetrated two inches deep into Metcalf's chest, piercing the right ventricle of his heart."

Which was not easy to do. Considering he has the brain of Gere's Gerbil, he accidently got the wound just right between his ribs.

Zero.

And yet they are expected to pay "reparations" for a long-ago wrong that neither they nor their ancestors ever committed -- and to feel guilty for having a vague resemblance to some dude who did something unsavory hundreds of years ago.

91 That didn't take long..........

Karmelo Anthony has launched an appeal against his 35 year prison sentence for murdering Austin Metcalf, according to newly filed court records.

Anthony, 19, filed a notice of appeal on Wednesday - less than 24 hours after he learned his fate for fatally stabbing Metcalf in the heart during a track meet in April 2025, legal documents obtained by TMZ detailed.

The convicted murderer's lawyer, Mike Howard, told the outlet that his legal team told the court that they would be appealing right after the trial concluded.

'We believe there are several important issues for the appellate courts to consider. An appeal is the next part of the legal process and a right afforded every American,' Howard said.

I heard that he wasn't even allowed to be at the meet, since he had brought a knife to a previous meet and was suspended for that. Don't know if that's been verified. But why was he in the tent? I assume he was stealing things left there by the athletes. Cell phones maybe? His hand was probably in his bag because that's where he was hiding the loot. His fear was that one of the other kids would look in his bag, I expect.

But I don't think any of that came out at trial, because he never took the stand to be questioned.

Unions were a mechanism chiefly meant to price black people out of skilled labor.

And there are letters that demonstrate that Minimum Wage laws were mainly about doing the same thing.

Unions and minimum wage sounds like which party?

That's the problem when your parties switch, you know, people forget to inform the postal service of their new address and things get left behind.

Because parties switch. That's what they do. That's why you don't need extraordinary evidence about this, because with the nature of parties switching, it's not an extraordinary claim (Plus I called "No EXTRAORDINARY CLAIM!" a while back.)

140 I expect a great many black people deplore this development since the 1960's, but what, exactly, should they do about it? Any black people who have spoken out about the horseshit have been pariah'ed and pilloried by the very race hustlers they decry.

We DO have a problem with lefty white folks cowtowing to race hustlers and their horseshit. If that were to stop, there would be no profit in it any more, and it would all go away.

141 I was just discussing this with a friend - first, note that Jasmine is a trust fund baby, grew up in a very nice neighborhood, went to an impressive prep school, and was a successful corporate lawyer before she figured out this act to rake in the dough.

She's a black woman pretending to be a white woman pretending to be a black woman, and she's getting paid very well to do it. She's not stupid at all, she's highly intelligent and has figured out this is the way to bank a few million bucks so she never has to work again.

If you will, she's a modern day Step'n'fetchit, a black actor who's making a lot of money by acting exactly like a lot of people think black people should act like.

And then, she will run for another political office, most likely in Texas again, can't be gov or Senate, so maybe another House race. She knows her black share of the primary in the senate campaign a couple of months ago.

148 My PA county:
A 15-year-old Upper Darby High School student, Michael Garr Jr., was fatally stabbed in a random attack on the 200 block of Bridge Street in nearby Drexel Hill on April 21, 2023.Following an extensive investigation, 24-year-old Marson Weh was arrested and charged with first- and third-degree murder in connection with the tragic incident.

Marson Weh has not yet reached a final trial verdict for the murder of Michael Garr Jr., as the legal proceedings in Pennsylvania have faced multiple delays.The breakdown of his current legal status and outcomes includes:

Ohio Sentence: Weh is currently serving a 9½-year prison sentence in Ohio after pleading guilty to unrelated vehicle theft and assault charges committed there.
Competency Delays: After being extradited back to Pennsylvania to face homicide charges, he was initially declared mentally incompetent to stand trial in May 2024. This ruling was reversed in late 2024 after mental health evaluations deemed him competent.
In October 2025, his trial was delayed again when Common Pleas Court Judge G. Michael Green approved the discharge of his defense attorney.

2023, he had also carjacked & stabbed a pregnant woman.

151 Coming from the heart of the Deepest South & just learing (learing) to read at age 5yrs, I read magazines like Look & Life. I honestly thought I could never cross state lines from MS, much less go to a university over 1000mi West & live. Profound thought for a little white girl.

I have to say that all of my time then & now black people there are kind, normal, thoughtful. Granted, I was not in the ghetto.

A year ago, after flying into NOLA on Valentine's Day and stopping south of the farm at Walmart, we were the only white people in the huge store. Crowded. The ONLY weird interaction was by a white man, in his 50's (no doubt drunk) who tried to pick me up for a date. Until my husband approached he was flirting wildly with me and guessing wrong the flowers I had for my mother. My son laughs that I get hit on more than his wife (this is, per my husband, because I attract crazy people).

My mother has a black friend who, with a full time job, helps her in the yard. He schedules 1hr to gossip with her and considers himself our adopted brother. The kindest man you could ever meet. These are the black people I have known all my life.

Not only are 70+% of "white descended from immigrants who arrived in the US after 1865, but of that remaining 30%, over half of them are descended from people who lived in northern NON-SLAVE STATES, and thus also had nothing to do with slavery.

And of those few who are descended from distant ancestors who at some point lived in a slave state, the vats majority were "poor white trash" who never owned a slave (and whp were also treated like dirt by the wealthy).

The slave-owning southern aristocracy was a small percentage of the overall population in the U.S. back then, and their descendant are by now an even smaller percentage.

And the ultimate irony? MOST OF THE MODERN-DAY DESCENDANTS OF PRE-1865 SPAVE OWNERS NOW IDENTIFY AS "BLACK." (Illegitimate offspring of a white slave-owner and a black female slave generally outnumbered their legitimate offspirng. An unsavory fact, but true.) Those illegitimate half-white-half-black offsprng were deemed by the "one drop ruke: to be black, and their descendants still identify as such.

157 >>>she would have argued that the knife was not a deadly weapon, thus sparing Karmelo Anthony the death penalty

They couldn't charge him with capitol murder, since he was a juvenile at the time he committed the murder. SCOTUS has ruled that juvies are exempt. That includes not only the death penalty, but also life without parole.

The jury could have given him a lot more time than they did, but in Texas, they are eligible for parole after they have served half of the sentence, or 30 years, whichever is less.

So he was always going to having a shot at parole within 30 years ,max. Since he only got sentenced to 35, he will be up in 17.5 years.

160 I was born and raised to not have a prejudiced bone in my body. My parents taught me MLK's lesson about character before he ever said it. The Army (during the Cold War in my experience) reinforced this.

I started changing - actually was taught to change - and my first formative lesson was during the reading of the O.J. verdict. The media had reporters in both white and black venues. When the verdict was read all the white venues just hung their heads in sad disbelief. I know I did. The black venues erupted as if they'd just won the Super Bowl. That's when I became aware that something was seriously going wrong in my country. And that was long before the Obamination.

I used to consider myself a friend to blacks. Today I'm not, rather, I'm cautious. Very cautious. And yes I know there are many good ones but some of the good ones need to stand up and fix this rabid violence among their own. Because whites cannot fix this, no matter how sincere and well-meaning the attempt. Because we're "Racists!".

I won't rehash the whole story, just the punchline. At the Tarrant County Courthouse, my 1.5", dulled, folding pocketknife was considered a dangerous (deadly?) weapon. I probably couldn't have punctured a button down shirt with it. So to get his blade into a torso that deep? That SOB damn well did have a serious knife and he used it with intent. It was no warding off wave of self-defense; it was a serious thrust.

She is just another race hustler, the kind George Washington Carver wrote about:

“There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs – partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.”

Growing up in AK, racism was an odd notion. Everybody lives here, and nobody much cares what color you are. I think we are about 2% black, but at least 15% Native, plus Asians of various types, lots of Hispanics, plenty of Samoans, etc. I don't recall there ever being a race issue, except maybe one fight after a football game with West High, where the rich white folk lived. I went to East. It isn't like that anymore, for certain. Sometimes we get a Native race hustler, but not more than that.

I went to college in St. Louis, and that was eye-opening. I had no idea I was suppose to keep separate from the "black tables" in the cafeteria, etc. I guess I offended some black folks the first week or so before someone clued me in. WTF?

The Mountain View neighborhood in Anchorage is the "most diverse" neighborhood in the Nation, according to the Census. It's also full of drugs and Samoan gangs, but I lived there just fine for a couple of years. Nobody cared that I am white.

*********************

Race hustlers like Jessie Jackson fan the fire. Actor Morgan Freeman, from the MS Delta, was once asked by a network nitwit, Mike Wallace, how to stop racism.

His answer: "Quit talking about it."

Those of us who lived with black people all of our lives have simply watched the explosion of the race baiters. It works on the ignorant.

My own MIL, as her Reagan Republican husband rolled in his grave, voted for Obama "to be part of history." I then launched calmly into telling her of how he voted to leave babies who survive abortion in utility closets in IL. And how I could never vote for anyone pro-abortion.

The second time he ran she voted Green Party. I say this as her being from Long Island I doubt she knew a black person in her entire life. I was half raised by them.

I remember something in the 90s saying that black families were integrating well and being successful at getting into the middle class into the early 80s.

Our Suburban OH district incorporated a lot of heavy black districts in the late 60 early 70 period for the rumored reason that taxes from the GE plants nearby were good for the revenue stream. So Junior High and High School had a good population of blacks, but there were no serious issues to speak of. I even went on a demo project and taught a dab of Latin and Roman history to 6th graders in the area. They were a lot of fun.

Absolutely right. He could've taken the stand at the sentence hearing & said he was sorry HIMSELF. Instead of letting Mom do it.

I love how Trump keeps stealing the IGRC's lines. He blockades the straits before IGRC can win brownie points by 'closing it'. They then had to demand free passage for all just to be opposed to us!

Now, they may have to deny we are stealing oil just to save face.

280 This is true. I was on a jury about 10 years ago for a black defendant in the Boston area. It was an attempted murder trial with a bunch of other charges thrown in. This kid was as guilty as the day is long once all the evidence was presented.

We had one black female juror. She refused REFUSED to find him guilty on the attempted murder charge. We spent 2-3 days trying to convince her. It was black tribal solidarity.

We ended up (after 3 1/2 days of deliberations) finding him not guilty of the attempted murder charge but guilty on all the other charges. The judge spoke to us afterwards telling us he was a frequent flyer in the justice system and since Mass had a 3 strikes law, he was getting extra time. I think he got about 6-7 years but it was far less then he should’ve gotten. It was very frustrating.

After Iran Downs Apache Helicopter, Trump Threatens New Round of Airstrikes

Is he serious this time or is it more, you know, twitter bullshit?

Comments President Donald Trump made on Wednesday suggest that he may be losing patience with the ongoing negotiations with Iran, which have for months failed to produce a peace deal.
"They've taken too long to negotiate a deal that would have been great for them, now they will have to pay the price!!!" Trump said in a post on Truth Social.
The statement comes a day after the U.S. launched what it called "self-defense strikes" against Iran in retaliation for the downing of an Apache helicopter. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned his country will retaliate against the U.S. strikes, stating "no attack or threat" will be ignored.

Trump now says that the limited airstrikes of Tuesday and today are just the preamble, and that the long-planned attack on Iran's power plants and bridges is coming.

I have to say, I don't believe this. I think this is more saber-rattling to provoke Iran into signing a "deal" that they simply will never, ever sign.

And it would mean nothing point zero zero zero even if they signed it. They are lying, dishonorable, death-cultists animals.

BREAKING: President Trump exclusively tells @TreyYingst that the U.S. is getting close to ordering new strikes against Iranian power plants and bridges in response to �tapping the United States along� when it comes to drawn out negotiations.

The U.S. launched overnight strikes� pic.twitter.com/Eh3zZBWh7q
— Fox News (@FoxNews) June 10, 2026

Generally-supportive General Jack Keane is visibly frustrated with the stalemate.

FoxNews reports that the downed Apache pilots were rescued by... a robotic boat.

I've seen stuff like that in Ukraine, where wounded soldiers are now ferried from the front line to rear-area medical units by robotic stretchers. Ukraine also sank Russian ships using robotic kamikaze boats.

We're now officially living in the future (but not the future we were promised).

What Trump wants is a "deal" he can call a victory and then get the price of oil down to spark the American economy into a hot burn. But Iran knows this is exactly what he wants, and they will never give it to him.

What really has to be hit isn't power plants, which would hurt the population. What has to be hit is mosques where regime leadership is hiding, because they know we won't hit them.

And hospitals which also serve as regime headquarters. And the hospitals don't render treatment to anyone but regime leaders and wounded regime thugs, so nothing much lost if they're hit.

Obviously, hitting these targets would be extremely controversial. I understand why Trump isn't giving the order -- but I think the order has to be given to actually finish off the regime.

And if Trump doesn't want to do it: Give Israel the go code and promise to defend their striking of these hidden regime bases.

Otherwise, it's just this tit-for-tat bullshit forever, with oil prices remaining high and the GOP's standing degrading.

And yeah, my patience with Trump's patience is wearing thin, too. I'm not going to abandon him, but he's being played and he knows he's being played. It's going to take a helluva lot more kinetic action to approach a positive outcome. I'm pretty sure the regional powers are getting a bit antsy about having to accept slings and arrows to maintain a parchment peace, too.

=======

I think you've been misreading the situation for a while.

The diplomatic talks are failure theater and have been since the end of open hostilities. The important thing is the blockade. It's killing Iran's economy. They're dealing with 25% inflation per week. Their trade is down 93%. They're losing $450 million per day.

The strait and the oil market?

It's been adapting since the start. More than half of all oil out of the strait was redirected within days (7 million barrels alone from Saudi's pipeline that was dealing with 500,000 per day before). There are now acknowledgements of smaller tankers taking loads from larger tankers on the Oman side and ship to ship transferring to other larger tankers. All while demand destruction (mostly in Africa and China) take care of most of the rest of the "missing barrels". All while VZ exports increase. US exports increase (we're past the bubble now, actually, they've started to decrease).

RBOB went under $3 yesterday.

I won't say "never" sign. I will say "never sign before the midterms." No matter what Trump does or says, short of nuking Tehran, the regime knows that all it has to do is hold out until November and maybe -- maybe -- things change in their favor.

And certainly, they know Trump is out in 2028 and a Democrap president -- god help us all -- would revert right back to the Obama-era policy of sucking mullah dick.

2028 sounds like a long way away. But the regime has clung to life and survived for 50 years through multiple wars and uprisings and bloodbaths. They can hold out another 2-3 years.

Posted by: mrp at June 10, 2026 03:29 PM (rj6Yv)

=======

It's optional for most of the world, already. Was for a while.

The world adapted to the oil shock of the 70s with new oil exploration outside of the Middle East, and that infrastructure has been building ever since.

In the 70s, the strait handled 40% of all oil trade. In 2026, it was 20%, and more than half of that was rerouted in days with existing infrastructure.

57 Trump is happy to let Iran turn itself into Afghanistan economically with the blockade.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison

I don't think so. He could do that by bombing a lot of their infrastructure (power, oil facilities, etc). I assume he didn't want to completely screw the country over, hoping some kind of uprising would overthrow the government and have a viable nation to run in the aftermath. That ship may have sailed by now.

“Every time Trump speaks, Iran delivers a stronger response, and that will continue.

The more important part of Iran wasn't the nuclear capabilities (which are important), but Trump's overall geopolitical strategy to make America the vector for energy in the world.

That's why he hit Venezuela first, essentially turning it into an American protectorate from an energy perspective.

The world finding ways around the strait advantage America because it makes the Middle East less important overall, including more foreign purchasing of American energy.

113 Trump should string the Iranians along until November with these peace talks and more tit for tat strikes. He knows the Iranians aren’t seriously negotiating and stalling for time so he’s returning the favor in kind because he’s a patient man and has more time than the mullahs do.

Hopefully the GOP retains a majority in Congress and then Trump can unleash the dogs of war again on Iran for a few more months.

The CIA will have finally found a way to smuggle in some firepower to the Iranian people and then they can take down the regime.

Then Trump just has to secure Hormuz and the nukes and it’s checkmate.

This is all, of course, a fantasy of mine, but I like my ending better than the one I’m seeing in this movie.

114 Remember the famous Carl von Clausewitz quote: War is not an independent phenomenon, but the continuation of politics by different means.

Trump must consider politics and voters here are impatient with what’s going on. He needs power plant day for a quick resolution because “starve them into submission” is gonna take a long time…

The US has the power to turn Iran into a smoldering ruin, and that could happen if the IRGC makes itself a greater nuisance than it is, now. Right now, what's left of the Iranian economy is swirling in the toilet bowl, heading for the septic tank. By 2029, Iranians will either be starving in the streets or the country will be under new management.

If *anybody* other than Trump were doing anything on this, Iran could not be so glib.

They know that Trump has turned down retaliatory strikes before because to him the casualties--even on the other side--"weren't worth it".

It's nice, but that's not how a good portion of the world works. And the people on this side, who could be doing something, to them it's just too worth doing nothing to watch Trump flounder.

120 And fwiw, the most recent consumer survey shows a decline in anticipating new higher inflation which means that should calm down. We took a one time hit which is now dwindling a bit.

Trump is using the anaconda strategy where Iran runs out of money rather than boots on the ground or air strikes to eliminate infrastructure. His main focus is on obtaining the uranium and ending nuclear aspirations of Iran and not regime overthrow as a formal goal.

Israel's calculus is different because its citizens are still being hit by Iranian proxies and still threatened by Iran's ballistic missile and drone programs. They want the IRGC gone but don't have the ability themselves to end it either by bombing or certainly not by boots on the ground.

We aren't sending boots on the ground nor massive infrastructure (although Kharg Island might be on the chopping block) as Trump wants the nuke threat over, and then turning the entire Middle East mess back to the Arabs, Persians, and Israel to deal with. For us, the blockade strategy works just fine--hurts competitors, raises US revenues as we are now a net exporter, and hurts Iran.

That is where the conflict in aims and means is occurring.

And yet, oil is the only cudgel people have against Trump in this conflict.

"Trump is desperate for a deal because he wants oil prices to crash."

Despite Trump saying publicly that he doesn't give a shit about the price of oil.

The entire premise that Trump is desperate for a deal is predicated on the idea that Trump wants lower oil prices for political reasons...but he's already getting lower oil prices while America has seen the most benefit from higher oil prices (just ahead of Norway with Brent) because we can produce and refine and few other people can.

125 While I admit Trump may have had bad advice on this halting of bombing, when he had them on the ropes...I think he did it to prove he tried to negotiate. For about six weeks to long, but what do any of us know?

Iran a year ago was demolished for making a nuke. Pakistan was trying to help that problem (and they have a nuke). Now eyes from space are on who/what/where onland is bring in arms. I don't know squat but I believe this. I think, and could be wrong, that they were watching, waiting and had precision strikes last night to new areas.

The ONLY news on Iran I trust is Tousi, for better or worse. He reports where the strikes are. I thank Ace for introducing me to him. He's nice to look at as well and funny.

I don't like that it's dragged out. I also don't like people whining about everything Trump does. I believe Iran won't recover for generations from what they had with pallets of billions from Obungo and Slow Joe.

The Iranians were trying to dig up the remaining enriched nuclear dust and could conceivably rig some crude nuclear devices which is what their negotiators were bragging about before we hit them again.

The legal counsel of the EEOC just released an opinion calling disparate impact analysis unconstitutional. That is in part to tee up a Scotus case burying Griggs v. Duke Power which created the disparate impact doctrine from whole cloth in the early 70's.

Awful decision contradicting the actual text of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. But as in the VRA, the equal protection and due process clauses trump a statute and the rule is that if a statute and the constitution conflict, then the statute must be interpreted in such a way that no conflict exists.

(AI Overview)

Iran will play all three of its Group G matches on the West Coast of the United States, specifically split between Los Angeles, California and Seattle, Washington.

Due to strict U.S. visa restrictions and the ongoing geopolitical conflict, the team is based across the border in Tijuana, Mexico. The players will fly in via charter flights strictly on matchdays and must exit the U.S. immediately after each game.

Also, our inventories are still above average.

While we're getting past peak demand and our oil exports are actually declining from the new peak of a few weeks ago, indicating that the demand destruction in Africa and China (and a bit everywhere else) is finding new equilibrium.

A few comments on X but that no one authoritatively claimed that. It has 80-90 million people spread out over a vast terrain and many of its facilities are deeply dug in over decades for missile launches and drones. Plus well over 125k or so of IRGC troops and probably about 500k to 1 million more auxiliaries counting foreigners. Then the remnants of their regular military although that is pretty much a shell now.

So, we can take out bridges, power plants, oil facilities, etc but probably not all missile launch sites nor drone production or small boats. Mines are also fairly easy to produce for the Persian Gulf. So, we are in a holding pattern which upsets a lot of folks here mainly over the increase in gas prices it seems.

We aren't losing, Iran is not winning by any stretch, but I think people got hopped up on figuring those Iranian bastards of the IRGC and mullahs deserved to be toppled.

Exactly. Due to taqiyya who would believe them, much less a gay eye-a-tollah in a coma and missing at least one leg.

No one is in charge. The IRGC leaders have been picked off with strategic strikes. I think janitors are firing the remaining missiles and drones at this point, ticking off most of their neighbors.

A week or so ago there were internal marches/protest, but until it is safe for them they can't start over. With hopefully people other than mad mullahs.

He's going to attack them again, eventually. Netanyahu's got more house cleaning to finish up north before his assets can help and in the meantime Trump has some negotiating with the Saudi's over the Hezbollah's. It appears they have respect for Hezbollah. Don't understand that.

181 I thought we were told last year by Trump that their nuclear program was destroyed by our stealth bombers.

Then I heard the recent strikes destroyed their nuclear capability.

And what we're hearing today is this is still being undertaken because Iran can't have a nuclear weapon.

I think we obviously have to recognize there's a lot of "salesmanship" going on with all of this.

I don't think he did. I think it was more that Iran is bleeding out economically without its oil revenue and in the current state, unable to restart its nuke program. We can wait and have no need to engage militarily. Where the impatience comes from is people that got their hopes up that the Iranians would be free and the price of gasoline.

I think we had very credible, actionable intelligence that Iran was on the verge of a working nuclear device and we had to act immediately to prevent them from making it. I think the immediacy of the threat meant that we didn't have a good go-forward plan beyond bombing everything we had a good fix on, and that's where we are now.

It was more than likely a mid-air collision. Missiles and gun fire bring down aircraft. Drones dive bomb into building and shit, then blow up.

It's been documented that the Apache's were downing some of the IRGC's drones with small rockets and gunfire. But it's dangerous work... flying a few dozen yards behind a wobbly drone going 120MPH. It'd be a shame if the practice was halted. It reportedly was having some success.

My reasoning is that this will actually solve the Iran problem, one way or another. Either they stand aside and let us take it, in which case we can proceed with ignoring them forever, or they show up where we can see them and aim at them without hitting civilians. I don't see any better way out of this.

People want to adapt the language of diplomacy to politics, and they don't mix.

All while they put up screens (oil prices) to keep them from seeing what could possibly be happening.

Iran is losing GDP massively. Internal cohesion is falling apart (not our problem the Iranian people don't have anything like an organized resistance, we can't make that for them). Inflation is sky-high.

And Trump's great concern is $3.50 per gallon gas? Which continues to fall as the strait gets more and more bypassed or used (yes, stuff is going through).

And it's because Trump threatened genocide before the ceasefire, which is definitely what he was gonna do and wasn't just speaking the language of power to get an end to hostilities so he could replace it with the noose of siege warfare.

Even if it doesn't and stays in the 90's, the oil price shock is a one off, not a repeated event. Markets hate surprises but are pretty good about figuring out how to get around supply shocks once the shock wears off. Gas prices around here are in the 3.50 to 3.80 range, on my recent trip across the South, as low as 3.40 or so. Not awful, not as good as before Iran but certainly not as bad as peak Biden.

Iran can't rebuild anything with GDP crashing. It can't import anything of substance because of the blockade.

I don't care if the IRGC remains in power. And I don't think Trump does either. He wants to weaken them (and take away their nukes) to such a degree that they can't be the global sponsor of terror anymore (while making America THE central hub of energy).

He's stealing their money both in terms of trade embargoes and their holdings in GCC banks (which are mostly in dollars as opposed to the worthless Iranian rial).

And the only thing Iran is holding over his head is oil prices...while oil prices continue to just...decline over time.

Trump is limited by the end of his term. He can go on forever and then just send in special forces to clean up nuclear sites in his final month. Iran has to worry about food.

228 There are two nitwits I have argued with in the past about Iran. They are so dumb I don't bother anymore. One insists, like she somehow knows, that they never had a nuke. When I asked how she knew or if she sat in the Situation Room she went into a snit and flounced for a month.
Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat

I think too much of it comes from bad media intake and impatience. Those that know our military's strength get impatient and want results right now--those that are ignoramuses and watch main stream media are getting the Democrat take where they haven't ever seen a war since Vietnam that they haven't wanted to lose. They essentially hate America and root for its enemies so you will never get any favorable report from them.

So, the rest of it is mainly settling in that we are not going to totally destroy the IRGC by military might, we can keep them from exploiting the nuke dust and restarting their campaign and impoverish the Iranian state pretty easily. And the price that we pay for not putting our troops at much risk is waiting and paying more for gas. That is the least we can do for those guys on the front lines.

231 I don't think he did. I think it was more that Iran is bleeding out economically without its oil revenue and in the current state, unable to restart its nuke program. We can wait and have no need to engage militarily. Where the impatience comes from is people that got their hopes up that the Iranians would be free and the price of gasoline.

I keep wondering how/why the mullahs would care about the economy...as long as the Military folks have food/money...we heard oil wells were super fragile, couldn't be capped (for some reason) but , do they care? How many billions do they have on tap?
I wonder why Trump cares about the dust...can't we just keep an eye on the piles of crap its under? who cares unless they try to dig to get it?

As I have explained, I believe they're literally crazy. They think just believing hard enough can remake reality. So all they have to do be nuke-proof is believe they are, no effort needed. But most people are not crazy, and want to be actually physically safe.

So, I think that Democrats would not be able to stop themselves from going against invading Iran. Their delusion bubble would tell them that the position of wanting the American voter in danger of nuclear hellfire is a surefire political winner, since they're gnostics and incapable of understanding people who think material danger is real.

Inflation is badly measured, and it's almost entirely about how much M2 the Fed prints.

The energy part of it was a trailing gas indicator which reflects the increased gas prices from last month and not the decreased gas prices this month.

The rent measurement they use is trash, all while major metros are reporting decreased rent costs all over the place.

But, remember, Republicans need to be like Democrats and ruthlessly wield power for long-term benefits. Democrats never worry about the midterms because the long term benefits will outweigh the short term losses.

Well, you want to complain but fail to give out just what you would do. I can see why Trump doesn't for nat sec reasons but why not you?

Time is actually on our side because Iran is not getting any money to sustain the regime--they are totally dependent on oil revenue and these continuing attacks on the places where they banked their external resources in places like Qatar, UAE, etc. aren't inclined to give it back to the Iranians and certainly are not releasing it.

All we have to do as US consumers is pay a bit more for gasoline than we prefer, but even there, is a silver lining, those revenues are staying in the US and funding even more oil exploration and development.

But at least it would have been an informed decision. Bomb them into oblivion, or get off the pot. Iran's leaders are the equivalent of the Japanese on Iwo Jima. There is no negotiating.

Inflation does not work that way. Basically, you get a supply shock then the cobweb theorem sets in--it decrease marginal demand, causes marginal supply to ease up and eventually you get a new equilibrium. For the most part, long term inflation is driven by excessive money being printed, not from supply shocks.

Trump was never going to do that in any realistic sense and never promised it either. Iran is much larger in area and in population than Iraq and would require a truly massive army of occupation to root out the remnants of the IRGC and fight the inevitable insurgency and maintain logistics.

273 No rational person believes that there is even a tiny chance of negotiating any deal that Iran will live up to.
Posted by: Tom Servo

That is why Trump is focused on getting the dust back, regime change was never on the cards unless the Iranians do it themselves.

Iran either gives it up or they sit and rot with no money coming in--eventually something happens internally because nuke dust in the ground is not usable as an immediate threat, and ad hoc missile launches just pisses everyone else around off, meanwhile their oil customers either make do or find alternative sellers. If Trump wants to raise the ante, bombing Kharg Island into oblivion is the next step which will destroy Iran's export capability for years perhaps, taking out power plants ditto, so we can afford to wait.

It doesn't matter if you disagree with reality, or if that cool economics prof of yours used to grade according to Samuelson and Nordhaus. Inflation is solely a reflection on expansion of the money supply, no matter what the money is.

Samuelson and Nordhaus were not the paragons of truth that your Econ professor put them up as. They were extolling the success of the Soviet economic system until the final edition, and the rest of their economics was based on rules of thumb, best practices developed by the Bank of England to paper over their own default since 1978, and "what ought to be"

306 A siege is a military blockade of a city or fortress aimed at forcing its surrender through attrition or assault.

The duration of a siege can vary significantly, often lasting months or even years, depending on the resources available to both the attackers and defenders.

Historically, some sieges have lasted for years, depending on the circumstances surrounding the conflict.

The Ukraine war has demonstrated that if you are on the surface and can be seen, you can be killed by a small hunter killer drone, and any attempt to send troops in to grab the dust would be met by hundreds of those every day.

332 The U.S. Central Command stated it allows the passage of humanitarian food and medical supplies, but the general blockade and conflict have severely disrupted global supply chains.

Russia has delivered humanitarian aid, including 150 metric tons of food and over 300 metric tons of medicine, via rail and truck through the Astara border crossing in Azerbaijan as of late March 2026

The blockade is going to take some time to have a destabilizing effect.

But twice that amount is coming in over the new rail and road border crossings being operated by our "Good Friend" Pakistan, the ones who are helping us out so much in these negotiations.

Iran has no fear of food shortages from any blockade. Pakistan, Russia, and China have found ways to ship in more than enough for them to get by. And don't you dare say anything mean about Pakistan and their support of Iran, Trump swears they can be completely trusted.

And the IRGC has made almost daily public statements saying that this condition is absolutely unacceptable to them. Which is the exact reason I believe that there is no accepted framework for the discussions between the two sides yet.

350 Trump is trapped by his own rhetoric about The Four Words That Must Not Be Spoken, which he sold the base on. Because of that, he cannot do what must be done to end the war.

Trump is trapped by the false belief that Iranian leadership operates on a rational, Western, level regarding war. This is the same false belief that led to turning over Afghanistan and Iraq to local control so soon, and the disasters that followed. Trump believes he can negotiate with them and come to resolution and refuses to accept otherwise.

As a result, he is trapping himself in the Two Words of Doom that he promised his base to avoid. Ultimately, he is going to have to pull a Bush and declare a victory that is anything but, punt the ball down the road, and hope nobody remembers he failed to resolve the situation like everyone else since 1979. He managed a heavily destructive operation, which is certainly nice, but he cannot win unless he does what nobody wants to support.

Trump Orders the Postal Service to Not Deliver Mail-In Ballots to States That Refuse to Turn Over Their Voter Lists

CNN is so mad.

States' rights! States' rights! States' rights!

Postal Service won't deliver mail ballots for states that don't hand over voter lists, under plan for Trump directive

State election officials could soon face a stark choice: Hand over voter lists to the Trump administration or risk losing Postal Service delivery for mail-in ballots.
That dilemma stems from newly proposed USPS rules that seek to comply with an executive order President Donald Trump signed this spring to crack down on mail-in voting.

Crack down on illegal mail-in voting.

CNN is garbage and I can't wait until they're all fired.

If courts let the order stand, it would give the federal government an unprecedented role in elections -- and could put even more voter data in the hands of Trump officials searching for supposed election fraud.

1, it's not supposed, and 2, this reveals that you did know the measure is intended to crack down on illegal mail-in voting, but chose to conceal that from readers out of a motive to propagandize for the Democrat Party and their legions of fake voters.

The proposed rules lay out new conditions that states would have to meet to send ballots through the mail, including giving the agency lists of all voters set to receive mail ballots.
So far, 23 Democratic-led states and the District of Columbia are suing, as are Democratic Party leaders and non-partisan voter advocacy groups, setting up a potentially active summer of high-stakes judicial rulings.
The Trump administration cleared an initial legal hurdle last month, when a federal judge in Washington, DC, who is overseeing one set of the cases, declined to block Trump's executive order, allowing the Postal Service to begin implementing it.
The Democratic Party groups are asking an appeals court to speed up its review of that decision, warning that voters around the country could be disenfranchised in this year's midterm elections if the proposal is not blocked.
In an interview with CNN, Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows, a Democrat whose state is part of the coalition that filed a legal challenge in Boston, said that if courts rule for the Trump administration, "Then you will see a virtual elimination of mail-in voting, unless the states supply voter lists to the federal government."

Yes, "unless" states obey federal directives in an area the federal government does indeed have supremacy over state law.

Look: Just secede already. You're agitating for it and I, for one, would love to be rid of you.

31 I guess there's two possible avenues here;

- Nationalize all elections
- Nationalize only the Presidential election

Third possibility would be to come down hard on the states, like California that are fucking around. Nullify fraudulent elections, which should be done anyway.

States like CA, NY, CO, VA, etc. see no recriminations for the fraud and will likely implement similar schemes for national elections. States nibbling around the edges of fraud will see no reason not to go all in and adopt the California method.

60 First principles -- no aspect of voting can ever be left to state control, oversight, or institutions.

Voting only works if it is a competitive process between candidates (actually, parties) overseen at the local level and facilitated by the state, but never ever relying on the state to keep it honest.
ie, mail in ballots only work if their numbers are so low that they don't matter.

We have forgotten this, but state employees doing the counting? state workers handling chain of custody? this is all absurd.

Every step that matters must have representatives from at minimum two candidates (parties) making sure it is honest.

IIRC, Constitution expressly authorizes congress to establish a post office. It does not explicitly require congress to do it, or to fund it. I think Congress could shut it down or refuse to fund more than the barest minimum. I don't know if the president can do that by EO.

65 This Postal Service part of mail-in ballots is it's Achilles heel. Mail-in ballots can be regulated in so many ways.

Just some quick spit balling:

The Postal Service needs certification to transport election ballots.

Each person that may handle or direct someone who handles mailed ballots must be bonded.

Ballots may not be coming led with regular mail.

Photo evidence of delivery at each point of handling.

Special stamps for ballots and special handling instructions.

Special envelopes with watermarks.

All ballot mail marked with maximum legal punishment for election fraud.

Maximum number of ballots per address.

The Dems can regulate away so many rights for the law abiding through Environmental and Safety law we should be able to regulate away the means of commie election cheating.

"It doesn't matter who votes by mail it only matter who controls the mail delivery".

In California it wouldn't stop the fraud but they would have to consider the impact of the extra time, cost, and effort for their mail in cheating.

76 Well it appears this won't affect me getting a pair of primary ballots. (unaffiliated voters get ballots for both R and D races, but only one ballot sleeve to return for one or the other, however I'd not be surprised if cheaters have some kind of system to vote in both party primarys)

I'd be thrilled if Colorado was blocked from mailing ballots, but probably they have or will comply with the order. I think this states vote rigging is mostly marking ballots for what the commies want for voters that don't bother to actually vote. The voter participation rates in 2020 for Biden and to block an amendment to limit abortions after 5 months were way higher than normal. the Soros SoS had loosened the signature verification so that it would accept almost anything as a valid signature vs having to be a fairly close match to the DL signature.

You can not make it that complex.

The solution is simple -- limit mail-in to such a low number that the mail-in vote is insignificant except for extremely rare conditions that can not be expected to ever happen.

Mail in can not ever be relied on for more than 1% or lower of the ballots. And it has to be subject to the same checks as regular ballots -- mailed to local precinct in time to be counted on election night.

101 Being our POTUS, Trump is 100% in control of the U.S. Post Office originally established by Benjamin Franklin for U.S. communications and commerce.
However, not delivering ballots by the U.S. Post Office is only a performative measure that has only a minor influence on the fraud mail-in ballot problem. All that means is that instead of using U.S. mail they will stuff the ballot drop off boxes flooding the communities, trunks of union vehicles, and regional police (again unions) helicopters.

It was merely a Post Office regulation that banned sending guns via mail, IIRC, not a law.

A regulation I think has also just been repealed.

And there's a whole list of otherwise legal items you're not allowed to mail.

So the rule is well-established that the Post Office has sole discretion as to what gets mailed.

134 Auditing is nice, but it is only necessary because we have handed the entire process to the state.

voting should never be run by the state!!!!

Auditing should be an audit of the *process* not the votes. The vote integrity should be self evident in real time as it happens.

- vote rolls published and finalized weeks before election. Period.
- time for canvassing by parties to check rolls are legit with no false names/addresses
- voting at local precincts overseen by party representatives
- count at local precincts overseen by party representatives.
- counts move up the hierarchy, but by now they are public and anyone can add them up.

So what needs to be audited? local candidates and parties have already seen it all happen in real time. Auditing only checks that numbers were added correctly with no out of chain-of-custody votes included. Final canvassing to make sure no false votes inserted.

but what happened is we let the cities run by one party lose chain-of-custody checks (precinct numbers never add up) and have no independent oversight (there is only one party) That inserted fraud. Dems expanded that fraud to take control of entire election by centralizing...

You can not make it that complex.

The solution is simple -- limit mail-in to such a low number that the mail-in vote is insignificant except for extremely rare conditions that can not be expected to ever happen.

Mail in can not ever be relied on for more than 1% or lower of the ballots. And it has to be subject to the same checks as regular ballots -- mailed to local precinct in time to be counted on election night.

Not really, it is a government corporation like the Bonneville Power Administration, the TVA, etc. but the president appoints the Postmaster General and it is a core function of the executive branch as per the US Constitution as one of the rare mentions of specific agencies in that document. Army and Navy are likewise.

It it not a quasi independent regulatory agency which is what you are thinking of and what Humphrey's Executor Scotus decision dealt with.

As far as the Post Office, Myers v. US is the ruling case which puts president at the top of the executive branch and the post office under that.

Things would routinely go missing, and she would have to go chew out the idiots at the post office to find them. Wherever they were, they hadn't gone far, and she was usually successful.

Finally the airlines started carrying parcels for a fee, so she switched to that and never lost anything again.

I have had more luck with USPS than Fed Ex for the last dozen years. UPS is a bit better on tracking than USPS but Fed Ex Ground service has sucked for a long time and has gotten worse over time.

The worst is smart post where USPS delivers and either UPS or Fed Ex originate to the local Post Office. That often ends up the worst of all possible worlds as the tracking often just stops and the item shows up unexpectedly much later or never shows up.

I get the sentiment but disagree. The question of secession was answered and settled in 1865: No state leaves. The Union is not to be broken. If nothing else, we cannot allow it due to sheer strategic necessity. A fractured US would be a weakness our foreign enemies wouldn't hesitate to exploit.

There may come the time (probably soon) when ballots no longer work and it comes down to bullets. It's happened before. If so, either we win or they do.

211 I have something I need to get off my chest, and it is unfortunately not a cat.

I want to make sure you all understand that leftists are literally crazy.

There is a clear through-line from the ancient Gnostics to postmodern Critical Theory and its toxic offshoot Social Justice. If you don't know what that means, my dad's mom's side of the family are Christian Science, who actually believe that if you're sick it's because you're not believing in your health enough.

Sounds crazy, right? But I'm about to make it make sense. You have heard this before:

The material world is an illusion. We have been trapped in this filthy dirt not by a kind Creator, but a vicious Demiurge. There is no matter but what minds make, and if you believe hard enough you can change it.

Anything that makes you feel good has the power to make you lie to yourself to justify doing more of it, and the First Lie -- that you can be your own god -- is one such, as a flattery. While material incentive also plays a powerful role in why they stew in the filth of their failed policies like This Is Fine dog, in order to predict their behavior accurately, it's important to understand they're also crazy.

DOJ Has the statutory duty to ensure compliance and voter list maintenance is very clearly defined in the statute.

To succeed on any challenge materially, the states would have to show harm, and in doing so would also have to defend not providing proof of compliance with both statutes, which would defeat their initial challenge to the collection. This os only being held up because federal judges are corrupt and helping to delay the review until after the midterms, which btw caused harm to the citizens and republic by allowing irreversible fraud to occur.

They arrest you because you look like you have money on you, but the trouble REALLY comes when you DON'T. You'd better call somebody who has money, or you're going to be there a while.

217 189 In 1959 George Wallace was still a state court judge in Alabama. The Feds requested voter registration records of some "goose egg" counties, and Wallace ordered them impounded and ordered the sheriff to arrest any feds that showed up to examine them. Nothing was done. We passed two laws, 1960 CRA and 1965 VRA, to permit federal examination of voting records. Nothing changes. This will also do nothing.
Posted by: Ted Torgerson

Actually, due to digital records, it is likely that the administration will prevail. States can keep separate records for state elections (see AZ with its weird federal or state ballots) but not for federal offices. It is likely that blue states will eventually lose this time too simply because the VRA has been renewed multiple times since 1965 with federal oversight strengthened along with the HAVA act which specifically authorizes fedgov ability to scrutinize voting rolls. It has just never been used and litigated that way yet.

I believe that I read that California as a nation would be the 5th largest economy in the world.

As badly as I would want to be shed of CA--and as much as I joke about it being another country, we can't lose that much commerce. That would leave a mark.

But, there is no guarantee that California could secede as a whole, especially since the people who have pushed for the "State of Jackson" as a portion of CA are barred mainly by the prohibition against making states from part of states.

I'm pretty sure that CA would be leaving limbs behind, so it's either a repressive secession--in which case the US can easily intervene--or they are going to be missing major swaths of land.

He's been arrested in Haiti about 3 times, and his phone call from the jail went to somebody ready to pay his ransom--because THAT is pretty much what it was.

They arrest you because you look like you have money on you, but the trouble REALLY comes when you DON'T. You'd better call somebody who has money, or you're going to be there a while.

Both the Navy and the Coast Guard intercepted them at sea and brought them to GITMO where we made tent cities for them so we could process them. I do not remember the final count but it was over 10,000 and over 1,000 of them were HIV positive and eventually flown to the US without any precautions.

In that case, all new buildings had to leave room for full electrification when enough power did become available, so now we have a bunch of buildings with huge dance floors in the mechanical rooms that will never be used for anything, but which need to be heated and maintained.

Posted by: Axeman

States will never have the right nor should they of controlling federal office elections. Thus, the clauses under Article I of each house is the sole judge of election contests and the relevant clauses in Article II dealing with the selection of the president and election contests.

To do otherwise implies that the states are greater than the federal government which is explicitly repudiated on matters regarding how the federal government operates. That has been consistent principle since the Convention --state's rights end when it becomes the powers and functioning of the federal government. If states don't like that, they have to amend the Constitution itself.

That is not quite what happened in the 2020 case. When Scotus hears cases using the original jurisdiction between states, it has to hear the case just like a trial court. That almost always in the history of this Article III provision means appointing a special master to hear and collect information in a quasi judicial fact finding and then reporting it to the court to accept or reject the findings. The long lived river water litigation between Georgia, Alabama, and Florida is the typical case where a special master issued a report, but Scotus rejected the initial one and required the special master to reassess certain legal factors.

Typically, one state has never had the right to sue over the internal workings of another state (and Scotus clarified this again in the Florida suing NY (I think) over issuing CDLs to illegals.

The USPS is caught between its constitutional mandate to provide universal service to 170 million addresses, and a legal requirement to be self-funded. The agency has lost over $25 billion in the last three years and faces over $166 billion in unfunded pension and retiree health obligations.

Grasping Basket-Case Nancy Mace Humilitated in Run for SC Governor, Finishing... Fifth

How could she finish fifth in the SC Republican gubernatorial primary? She got Trump's endorsement!

Or... so her social media account strongly implied, using an AI generated fake picture of her and Trump.

Throughout the campaign, Nancy Mace kept arguing that Pamela Evette was claiming an endorsement that hadn�t occurred. At 2:05 p.m. on May 29, she posted on X, �Pamela Evette is NOT ENDORSED by DONALD TRUMP. Do not believe her LIES.� Her post included an AI-generated image of� pic.twitter.com/P2hN1XhoSQ
— Jim Geraghty (@jimgeraghty) June 9, 2026

I tried to find her actual posts implying that she had Trump's endorsement -- and being Community Noted into oblivion -- but I can't find them now. I think she might have deleted them in embarrassment.

Like Thomas Massie and MTG, she cynically tried to ride the Epstein Files to victory, promising the QAnon contingent that she would finally validate all of their shapechanging conspiracy theories.

It did not work.

Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., on Tuesday seemed to leave open the door to remaining in public and political life after her fifth-place finish in the South Carolina GOP gubernatorial primary.

Fifth in a six-man field.

"I will always be grateful for the people of South Carolina who trusted me, fought with me, and refused to look the other way. This isn't the end of the fight. It's just the end of this chapter," she said, without specifying future plans.
...
Mace appeared to blame her loss on her support for releasing the Epstein files.
"I voted to release the Epstein files and lost some support for that.
As a survivor, I chose to stand on principle and stand against the Epstein cover-up," she added. "I chose to expose the names hidden in the sexual harassment slush fund."

From the NY Post: She's really milking this "survivor" claim.

Mace attributed the snub to her support for releasing government documents related to convicted sex offender Jeffery Epstein.
"I know I put the likelihood of an endorsement on the line when I demanded transparency on the Epstein files," Mace wrote on X. "I demanded it because you deserved the truth -- ALL OF IT -- and as a survivor of a corrupt and broken court system, I will always pursue justice for those who deserve it.
"If sacrificing my values is the price of an endorsement, I will never pay it."

Is she talking about those sketchy, vague claims that her then-fiance took videos of her when she was working out in the gym? Is that what she "survived"? I think I remember some other claims from when she was younger. But the fresh claims of being caught on surveillance cameras when fully dressed in a gym make me wonder very much about claims she has been abused but "survived" that abuse.

Nancy Mace does not have the emotional intelligence to hold the office she has much less to that which she aspires. This looks petty.

Nancy Mace does not have the emotional intelligence to hold the office she has much less to that which she aspires. This looks petty.
Also, Mace used the Epstein case. She continues to use it as an excuse for her failure to get elected. Previously, she used it just like Massie, who used it just like the Democrats. It was a drum to beat to make noise, gain attention, further political ambition.
Of course, this is what politicians do. We need statesmen, not politicians. We need people who for to serve the public, not public figures who merely call themselves a public servant in order to make personal ambition.
Surprisingly, it seems that the only other type of person that is fit for office other than statesmen is businessmen. That is why Trump is good. He sees problems and wants to fix them. Unfortunately, he has to get the support of politicians to make lasting changes.

All of these assholes blame the Epstein Files for their losses. That gets it backwards. They are all already in big trouble, and they cast about for some issue they would pull them out of the abyss. In the late innings, all of them chose to join the Democrats to pretend that Trump is in the Epstein Files and/or covering the Epstein Files up to protect Mossad.

I will always remember her for the class and sense of propriety she showed when addressing the audience at the National Prayer Breakfast, when she told mostly-religious attendees that the boyfriend she has sex with outside of wedlock tried to get intimate with her that morning, after (one assumes) sleeping with her all night, but she told him no, she had to get ready to deliver prayerful remarks and pick out a tight top that showed that she is Blessed by the Lord in the juggs department.

I'm not a prude. I do have a sense of propriety, though.

She says she's honoring her pledge to serve only three terms in Congress... which sounds noble, except she never made that pledge.

She's trying to claim that she did the noble thing in failing to climb the political ladder.

There�s no public record anywhere of Nancy Mace ever pledging to serve only three terms, no speeches, no interviews, no filings, no campaign materials, and nothing on her official accounts. The only place that claim appears is this X account post. What is verifiable is this: the� https://t.co/xLYpzNfQVF

[Fox 6] Minocqua Brewing Co. owner Kirk Bangstad, a Democrat who gained national attention for social media posts offering free beer on the day President Donald Trump dies, did not make the cut. The Wisconsin Elections Commission said he did not get enough valid signatures to make it on the August primary ballot.

Victims of abuse and molestation have problems because they blame other people for the situation, as is legally and morally correct, and in their deepest part of their souls they blame themselves, which is how human brains are wired. This conflict causes a lot of personal problems, which is exacerbated by social norms and assumptions behind the laws.

Speaking-of, South Carolinans might not have been able to find anyone to beat off Graham (Lynch was worse), but they did remove an actual Democrat from running for Attorney General was a "Republican". Nice try, David Pascoe.
Unfortunately RINO Removal continues in that state. Goldfinch got 42% on his own, and he's one of the twinks who allowed Clyburn to keep his seat in the House.
So, David Stumbo needs help. He only got 34% which is terrible for the only real Republican in that race.

134 On my LinkedIn feed today there are a bunch of posts about how there’s no enthuthiasm for the World Cup. It’s like yeah it’s soccer. It’s America. Duh.

There is a niche group of soccer fans in the US who are annoying as fuck. They’re like CrossFit people. Their whole fucking lives are about their team. Usually a team in England, these people get up at 5am on Saturdays to go to bars and watch games. And they’re sad that nobody outside their little bubble gives a fuck about the World Cup. It’s like my dude do you think anyone in England cares who wins the NBA finals or the Stanley cup? No they do not.

I’m kind of excited about it. But I’m also not counting down the seconds until kick off on Friday. I’ll watch some games here and these especially the US ones and then be disappointed as usual with out performance.

Worried about backlash after another Muslim slaughter? "F*CK OFF." Some calls him a bigot for not wanting men in the women's restroom. "F*CK OFF."

And when the asshole finally does feel like returning "Home", John even had the dignity and decency to fight along side his dumb ass to help keep what little was left of their holdings on the continent stable.

Proof that Trump is a long-time pedo in the Epstein files is the Holy Grail of the TDS crowds here and in Europe.

Ask them why the Biden Admin leak the Epstein Files proof about Trump? Their answer is, "mumble mumble Biden followed the rule of law about keeping the files secret mumble mumble!"

Also, "Of course Trump didn't release the dirt on himself in the Epstein Files in his first term!" And "Of course Trump is not releasing evidence of his pedo crimes now!" or, "Of course there's no evidence of Trump's pedo crimes in the released Epstein Files! He ordered all those files destroyed a millisecond after his second inauguration!"

They will only be satisfied Trump is not a pedo if he conclusively proves he is not a pedo. He must prove the negative to their satisfaction, which is impossible, or he's guilty, guilty, guilty!

When the ball goes out of bounds, they pick it back up, then run up the sidelines to wherever they feel and throw it back in. Then, they spend SO MUCH TIME flopping around like a fish on a dock when they're challenged, they must add 'Stoppage Time' at the end of each half to make up for all the time wasted during the actual match.

Exactly. Because the clock counts UP and the on-field referee is the only one who knows how much "stoppage time" there has been.

If only there was a way to choose a standard amount of playing time - say 90 minutes - count DOWN from there, and pause the clock when necessary, then continue counting down. Or is that just crazy talk?

234 "Do men ever hit the wall?"

Not really, so long as they keep in shape and take care of themselves. The inevitable things that happen as we age (greying, balding, sagging, etc) do not detract as much on men as they do on women.

I've always said that women's attractiveness is front-loaded, while men's have the same in total but it's spread out.

No man at any age can match the goo-goo-ga-ga that accompanies a hot lady in her prime. She owns the world. She'll always get what she wants.

But that is relatively fleeting. Front-loaded. Men never reach that peak, but they age better so their attractiveness extends future into the future.

It’s not as bad as it used to be. Up until maybe 15 years ago it was a true mystery. But now they give a number of minutes expected extra time. So it’ll be like 4 mins or 7 mins or whatever. The referees is still the decider when it’s over but it’s almost always within the parameter established at the end of regulation time. Like it may start as 7 and ref lets it go to 8 but it’s not like it will got to 15 or end at 2 or whatever. That’s how it used to be it was 100% a mystery until the ref blew the whistle.

239 OT. What a jerk. From the CA Post:

Spencer Pratt has clapped back after Jimmy Kimmel roasted him for being beaten in the Los Angeles mayor’s race.

During his monologue Tuesday night the TV host mocked claims the election was “rigged” and brought up the former reality TV star’s previous comments he would leave the city if he lost.

“I know things might be tight right now, especially with the out-of-state donation money running out,” Kimmel said during his monologue.

“Moving is expensive, so to help you out we rented you a U-Haul. Our staff spent the whole day decorating for you, and everybody will notice you and wave goodbye as you leave.”

The image shared by Kimmel shows Pratt appearing to cry, plastered across a U-Haul with the phrase, “Just defeated.”

Pratt snapped back Wednesday morning in what is only the second time he has spoken out since the election results were called, tweeting a video of his destroyed Pacific Palisades home.

“Jimmy Kimmel i guess you missed the part of the story i don’t need a U-Haul…I have nothing left to pack,” he wrote.

And that will leave... who exactly? I mean, I'm with you, but we are irreparably removed from the Founding Fathers. "We" have been conditioned to hate/despise the wealthy and the accomplished, but they are the main demographic that can take leave of their lofty positions to literally serve the nation for a time and then return to life as a private citizen after a term or two. Now, it's not service; it's a career path. And it's exorbitantly expensive to get a seat of power. It's kind difficult to campaign, exhaust a fortune, serve one term, and go home. So, the incentive is to remain in a seat forever. Clearly suboptimal from a democratic POV, but understandable.

I wish there was a better solution, but, generally, the most decent cannot afford to serve.

IIRC, the head ref tells the official timekeeper how much extra time to add, or the official timekeeper makes that call. It is announced to the teams, the people in the stadium and the broadcasters. But - extra time can be added during the initial extra time period to account for stoppages etc during extra time. There is no announcement by the official timekeeper about this extra-extra time. IIRC. So everyone but the official timekeeper an/or the head ref is clueless.

Doesn't the ref just guesstimate the extra time?

Posted by: Guy Mohawk at June 10, 2026 02:01 PM (n5tGW)

IIRC, the head ref tells the official timekeeper how much extra time to add, or the official timekeeper makes that call. It is announced to the teams, the people in the stadium and the broadcasters. But - extra time can be added during the initial extra time period to account for stoppages etc during extra time. There is no announcement by the official timekeeper about this extra-extra time. IIRC. So everyone but the official timekeeper an/or the head ref is clueless.

She finally got married like 10 years ago, much later in life. While most of us were divorced by that point, she got married for the first time. They bought a big house on the water in Westport CT and did a lot of work to it. That’s the last I’ve seen of her in any of the alumni news that has come out.

Surprise! Democrat "Ballot Harvesters" Were Illegally Paying Skid Row Homeless Drug Addicts $5 to "Vote" for Nithya Raman

Isn't odd that these meth-addicted morons knew, in advance, that it was Nithya Raman who would need the bulk of their "votes" and not the current communist mayor?

It's almost as if most of these votes were cast after Election Day, with Democrat "ballot harversters" knowing they needed many more votes for Nithya Raman to eliminate the one person they needed out of the race, Spencer Pratt.

Skid Row homeless claim they've been paid to vote for Karen Bass and Nithya Raman
By Jamie Paige and
Katie Jerkovich
A series of shocking videos show homeless residents on Los Angeles' Skid Row claiming they were paid to vote for Mayor Karen Bass and councilwoman Nithya Raman.
The California Post obtained copies of the videos after they were published Tuesday on the TikTok account LaneNeedsSpencerPratt.
The footage, recorded near 7th Street and Flower Street in downtown Los Angeles on Tuesday morning, has since been provided to the Department of Justice. It also follows The Post's revelations that thousands of homeless voters were registered to shelters where they didn't live.
One shelter in Venice, where 185 Raman voters were registered, received $600,000 from taxpayers care of the socialist Raman.
In one of the clips, a man who calls himself Kevin Shepherd, claimed he received $4 to vote for Bass.
When asked whether he would also have been paid to vote for Raman, Shepherd answered "yes" and said Spencer Pratt was not among the candidates he was encouraged to support.
"They gave you an optional choice," Shepherd claimed, alleging the was offered $2 but negotiated for a higher payment and ultimately received $4.
Shepherd further claimed he completed a mail-in ballot for Bass and deposited it in a ballot box.
Skid Row resident, Rene Johnson, 39, also claimed she received $5 after being told to vote for Bass.
Johnson said she supported Bass, but told the creator she was still unclear about some of the forms she had completed.
"But, you know, at the time, I didn't know that that was going on," she said.
A person wearing sunglasses and a white t-shirt, standing outdoors with hands
"I was just trying to make five bucks, you know? But I didn't do the fraud."
When asked if she thought it was fraud, she said she thought that it was "fraudulent behavior."
She also said she thought people were being taken advantage of.
Another woman, who said she was living on the street, also claimed she accepted money to vote for Mayor Bass.
"It was like two bucks," the unidentified woman said, adding that "yeah they come out here all the time."
...
The creator said he spent about two hours speaking with residents, many of whom claimed voter-registration and outreach efforts were a routine part of life on Skid Row before Election Day.
Several residents alleged that groups regularly visited the area asking people to sign paperwork, though some acknowledged they did not fully understand what they were signing.
According to multiple residents interviewed on camera, outreach workers allegedly visited the area as often as three to five times a week before the election, with several organizations purportedly involved.
A fourth resident, identified as Mark Sanchez, claimed he had been approached repeatedly by political canvassers.
"To sign a petition for the mayor or different things in office and they paid me $4 or $5 in different accounts," Sanchez claimed.
Sanchez further alleged the payments occurred multiple times.
"It happened more than four or five times," he claimed.
...
A Los Angeles chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America openly promotes a guide instructing volunteers on how to encourage voters to cast ballots on the spot and hand them over for delivery.
The practice, commonly known as ballot harvesting, is legal in California but remains highly controversial. The guide, titled "How To: Ballot Delivery," was published by the Los Angeles chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America in May 2022 and remains available online.
The instructions provide a step-by-step process for collecting completed mail ballots and urge volunteers to repeatedly press voters to submit them immediately. "Will you vote now?" the guide tells volunteers to ask, before adding: "Ask at least 3 times."
The California Post reached out to Bass and Raman campaign for further comment but did not hear back.

More regarding the many "votes" "harvested" from homeless shelters where the "votes" collected greatly exceeded the number of homeless living there.

Thousands of homeless voters were registered to vote at LA shelters -- despite many not living there or the facilities not having any beds.
And as Spencer Pratt was eliminated by Nithya Raman in the mayor's race on Monday night, it can be revealed that one drop-in center that received $600,000 from the socialist candidate had 185 registered voters at the address but offers no accommodations.
The revelations have prompted US Attorney Bill Essayli to say he will investigate the concerns uncovered by The Post and "follow the evidence" to see if the law has been broken.
A review of records shows 7,600 voters tied to homeless shelters and service providers.
Among them was St. Joseph Center in Venice, a homeless services drop-in center with 185 registered voters tied to its address. The organization received a $600,000 taxpayer-funded grant awarded by Raman while she chaired the City Council's Housing and Homelessness Committee.
...
The largest concentration of homeless voters was at the Midnight Mission in Skid Row, where voting records show 1,160 registrations -- but its website shows it only has beds for 84 men and 36 women.
One homeless man on Skid Row, Norman, said he's witnessed voter registration efforts in the area for years and claims he had previously been paid to help sign up voters -- and that cigarettes were offered to some people during the drives.
...
Outside the Midnight Mission on Monday afternoon, The Post met with Bo Jackson, who is registered to vote but says he could not remember registering -- and couldn't even name a candidate in the LA mayor's race.
The Post asked Midnight Mission staff for comment on how ballots are handled when they arrive at the shelter, but our reporter was kicked out and was left without a response.

29 Paying a few homeless lepers to vote doesn't move the needle. Those are at least technically "real" votes, even if illegally obtained.

I'm convinced that after what we saw in 2020, the real vote fraud is in just printing out fake ballots. They can do that with a push of a button, creating thousands of fake "votes" in an instant. That's where the real fraud is.

I also think there's big fraud in just manipulating vote counts electronically. Like when thousands of votes were added to Bass in one drop, while not a single for Pratt. That is obviously not possible absent data tampering.

48 WSJ oped stated that Trump made the LA Friad claims “without evidence”. They went even further and stated it another way “there is not any evidence to support these claims”.

You’re still fucking journalists- right? Did you go out and explore the claims or do you just sit on your fat, Lilly white cottage cheese asses and throw stones?

You might think at some point media like the WSJ would get tired of being punked and made the gimp by “citizen journalists”. But no, not them. Not these useless wastrels.

68 I'm convinced that after what we saw in 2020, the real vote fraud is in just printing out fake ballots. They can do that with a push of a button, creating thousands of fake "votes" in an instant. That's where the real fraud is.

I also think there's big fraud in just manipulating vote counts electronically. Like when thousands of votes were added to Bass in one drop, while not a single for Pratt. That is obviously not possible absent data tampering.

Posted by: Mark Andrew Edwards, buy ammo at June 10, 2026 12:20 PM (xcxpd)
______

Exactly. They are this brazen about stealing elections because they know they'll get away with it. Without question.

Bass herself could be caught on video dropping off a bag of confetti she claims is 20,000 votes for her, the poll worker accepting it, and then tallying 30,000 votes for Bass. Then they both high-five shouting "we are totally stealing this election!"

Not one of those votes would be invalidated.

So the distant third-place Dem candidate needs to get many, many more late votes than the incumbent, frontrunning Dem to eliminate the strong Republican candidate? Easy. Barely an inconvenience!

They also pretend to believe that vote-tabulating software normally posts huge tranches of votes for one candidate, then another and another rather than instantly updating the count for every candidate as precincts report.

So if you're pushing your own bs, you don't have to say without evidence at all, and it's not a "lie". Not that they worry about lying as such, but they do parse when they want to.

162 Again, Cali law allows for casting ballots after election day, you are not required to get a post mark, you can self date it, you don't even have to provide a legitimate signature, an X or smiley face will suffice, you are also allowed to ballot harvest and cure votes.

All of this fraud is legal and authorized by Cali law.

And what is being reported is simply the nickel and dime operation to give a gloss of legitimacy, the real ballot injection and conjuring is happening in backrooms by donk and union operatives.

At least an internet poll can be limited to one vote per IP address.

CA has no limit on who, when, where or how a ballot is cast or counted.

There is simply no fraud in a CA election because there is no restriction or limit on casting ballots--every ballot is valid no matter what.

There is more full faith and credit behind Zimbabwe currency than a California ballot.

195 odd that these meth-addicted morons knew, in advance, that it was Nithya Raman who would need the bulk of their "votes".

The first rule of election stealing is to confound election counting and the reporting of results. This buys time while the number of votes to be manufactured is determined.

This is textbook stuff that dates back to when LBJ stole his first senate race in 1948. Nothing has changed except the scale, sophistication, and techniques to pull this off.

For the most part this was perfected in the 2004 Washington state governor's election that went to the Democrat in a stunning and unexpected, by golly, come from behind victory a couple weeks after election day that included ballot harvesting, mail-in ballots, remarkable discoveries of ballots in car trunks, and a head of of King County elections, the only county with enough weight make a difference, raised eyebrows statewide about how that that election was managed.

Remarkably that Election Head took off for LA right after that election and now heads up LA County Elections and by golly, the same thing just happened in LA. Makes you think this protecting the precious democracy stuff might be rigged.

213 I'm actually fine with Democrats cheating in a few states. I WANT Lefties to congregate in a few places and leave the rest of us alone.

Just remember that once they’ve implemented the cheat in a state, they don’t need a majority there any more. They can move on to another place to start the process of implementing the cheat there, too.

The same is true on the local level. A working fraud machine gives them a base to expand.

214 So why not just push Bass over 50% and forget about the general? I suppose the rank and file would be too upset about NOT getting paid for the general election they might just talk.

I was also a bit curious why they bothered pushing Raman into second place. Bass wins the general election over Pratt, likely 60/40. But Bass will win the general election over Raman 65/35. I think the Democrats would have been better served to let Pratt stay in second place. They still win the general election, and they can point at an 'election' where cheating obviously did not take place.

Maybe the Democrats have decided that it is more important to cheat and cheat obviously in every election so that obvious cheating becomes the new 'normal'.

217 Folks

Before we get too spun up about the L. A. Election, some perspective from a California - not L. A. - resident.

LOOK ST A FREAKING MAP!

You'll see Los Angeles can be broadly divided into three sections. Downtown and the west side (Hollywood, Brentwood, Malibu, etc) where all the rich libs live. To the south of downtown is the notorious 'South Central' where the gangs snd thugs live, and to the north 'the Valley' (fer sure, fer sure) where the largely middle class lives.

Sprinkled all around, within a short drive, are various other incorporated cities each with their own police, fire, schools and governments. Nobody 'has' to live in Los Angeles. Most of the sane people don't. As crazy as the city government is in LA, you don't think they know they need to take care of the rich people on the westside? And the Valley? Secession from the city is a perennial issue out there.

So while the Spencer Pratt thing is a bitter disappointment, A it doesn't affect most of us - I don't even live in the same county, and B the mayor and city council know on which side their bread is buttered, Palisades fires notwithstanding.

Good to see Piper alive snd well!

I think Raman will win. It lets them say "see, Bass lost, your voice has been heard", it prevents reputational damage spreading from her to the party as a whole, and in general she just was too stupid in public when the fires happened. Also, the Democratic Socialists of America have joined the Muslims in hollowing out the Democrat leadership and this is definitely their year.

We’re currently focusing on the post-election cheating, but remember that there was a lot of cheating in Bass’s favor on and before election day. We don’t have any idea what the actual voting reflects in Los Angeles, or in California as a whole. The people panicking about Pratt do.

Wednesday Morning Rant

What Will The Ballots Say?

California is very much in the news courtesy - this week - of the obvious chicanery involving the LA primary election. There is another reason that has ebbed and flowed over the past year, and that is California's (actually, the SEIU's) proposed "billionaire tax" that is on the ballot this autumn. This proposed "tax" is a simple expropriation. The tax scheme as proposed is fairly straightforwad. If someone has a net worth over $1.1 billion, California will confiscate 5% of his net worth. If someone has a net worth of between $1.0 and $1.1 billion, California will confiscate slightly less of his net worth. When the tax is due, he can pay the entire sum in full, or he can spread payments out over 5 years - with interest. The money will go to fund "shortfalls" due to Federal or state budget cuts to medical (Medi-Cal), food (CalFresh) or school budgets.

Set aside whether wealth expropriation is just or legal or proper. Set aside whether the primary medical services union sponsoring a ballot initiative to confiscate assets and transfer them to the medical industry is a conflict of interest. Set aside whether the confiscation will raise as much money as expected. Set aside whether the money raised will actually go where it is supposed to rather than be stolen. Set aside widespread fraud in these programs, and whether throwing more money at them is sensible. Set aside unintended consequences on capital structure. Set aside the risks of forced liquidation. Set aside all of the very real objections to such a scheme and consider what this would actually accomplish even if it works exactly as promised.

From the proposed act:

Medi-Cal is projected to lose up to $19 billion in annual federal funding due to the implementation of the most recent federal budget legislation and
administrative action, shifting costs to the state General Fund and local governments or forcing reductions in needed services. Over the next ten years, federal cuts to Medi-Cal alone are projected to total approximately $190 billion.

The loss of billions in federal funding further stresses California's already underfunded health care safety net. The 2025-26 state budget included several new restrictions, including cuts to providers and significant reductions in benefits and services for Medi-Cal enrollees. State cuts to Medi-Cal are estimated to reach $7 billion in 2027-28, rising to $8.6 billion each year from 2028-29 onward.

California has around 200 billionaires who collectively possess an astonishing $2 trillion in wealth. ...

Ninety percent shall be allocated to the Billionaire Tax Health Account for health care funding ...

Ten percent shall be allocated to the Billionaire Tax Education and Food Assistance Account for education-related and food assistance expenditures ...

A taxpayer owing any additional tax imposed under this Section shall have the option either to (1) pay any tax due under this Part along with any income tax owed for the 2026 tax year; or (2) pay annually in five equal installments commencing in the year the tax is due, with each subsequent annual installment payment also being subject to an annual nondeductible deferral charge of 7.5 percent of the remaining unpaid balance.

There's more, of course. The proposal has plenty of other conditions and definitions, including a couple of favorites around how net worth is to be determined and how, despite the fact that this would cause forced selling, values are determined based on calculated voluntary sale values in ideal markets. It's actually somewhat fascinating and the whole proposal is worth reading in a "through the looking glass" kind of way, but the basics are in the excerpts above. That's all the variables and the rest is simple algebra.

Per the proposal, the new confiscation will affect around 200 people with about $2 trillion in net worth. Much of that is unrealized (it's stocks, bonds, other equity positions, real property, etc.), but whatever. The proposed 5% tax on $2 trillion in combined assets amounts to $100 billion, assuming perfect compliance, no carve-outs or exemptions, no problems with liquidation, etc. If nobody pays in full and instead everyone takes the more expensive option of paying over five years, that is actually quite a bit more rake-off for the state. It would be $20 billion in the first year, $26 billion in the second year, $24.5 billion in the third year, $23 billion in the fourth year and $21.5 billion in the fifth year for a total of $115 billion. The best-case scenario for the state is new receipts of $115 billion over five years from this one-time expropriation. 90% of that, or $103.5 billion, goes to Medi-Cal. In the best case scenario.

And, of course, if you expect this to raise as much as expected, and for there to be no losses, and for the money to go where it is supposed to, and for fraud to be a non-issue, and for these programs to otherwise be contained and well-managed, well, pull the other one. It jingles. But even that is beside the point. Per their own numbers, this proposal handles "shortfalls" in Medi-Cal for around five years. Even in a vacuum where everything works perfectly with no negative consequences foreseen or unforeseen, this buys a few years for Medi-Cal. That's it. It solves no problems, it just defers them and not even for very long. This basic problem is not an uncommon one in government finance. Fix real problems? Nah. Solving problems is boring and gores somebody's oxen. Just steal it and call it justice! I have no sympathy for California's billionaires - they climbed into bed with these people and if they get the clap, well, they should have chosen better bed-mates - but it will be interesting to see how far the next "one-time" expropriation goes when five years turns into two or three.

If it happens at all, anyway. Whether California's ambitious new stopgap will work is not the question. It won't. It will raise nothing like as much as expected and it will be spent far faster than expected and much of it will be stolen. No bookie would take a bet otherwise. The question is just whether it passes. It's on the ballot in November, and we all know what that means. With the outlandish and obvious manipulations going on in the LA primary, it has become clear even to those who don't pay much attention that "ballots" in California say whatever the Party wants them to say. Whether this passes depends entirely and exclusively on whether the Party wants it to. That's up in the air and the Party is not unified on the issue, but it will be before November.

And by then the ballots will show, as they always do in banana republics, whatever the Party wants them to show.

As the broadcast cut to Cardi’s performance, Ernie Johnson joked that the Knicks had been “competing with Cardi B here.”

The “WAP” singer was struggling to keep from spilling out of her outfit. [Charles] Barkley couldn’t help but notice. Without missing a beat, Chuck leaned in and delivered the line that’s now all over the internet:

“We lost,” he said. “I don’t know if those B’s. They might be Cardi D’s.”

18 California is a blue dictatorship owing to industrial strength vote fraud. The will of the people is unimportant; the machine can "elect" itself in perpetuity. There are no guardrails on Pedocrat policies, incompetence and outright fraud and corruption.

California should be removed as a state and returned to a territory until the vote fraud is removed. Also, Hawaii. I mean, come on, it's not real state.

You know, if the CA Democrats were smart (spoiler: they're not),

the would've run the election so that the Reps would've come in second place or even first and then cheated like hell for the real election in Nov.

They could say, easily..lSee? There's no cheating going on.

And taken the wind out of the sails of the Reps and Trump.

Then they'd win the big prize when it really counted and just pointed and laughed and say "Sour grapes"

I could be totally wrong but I've got to believe that even the Democratiest Democrat can't be happy with gay and fake elections in the hands of the rich few.

35 The CA billionaires tax will pass.
The billionaires will leave, taking their companies and employees with them.
The 'projected" tax income will far exceed what the actual income is.
The income tax projections will also prove to be overly optimistic.
The result will be a yawning budget deficit, even bigger than the one they have now that will be addressed by raising taxes on those too poor to leave, unwilling to leave or unable to leave.
And things will only get worse when Beccera become Governor and continues all the ridiculous policies that Greaseball Gavin initiated.
CA is doomed to get much worse before there's any hope of change.

You can use a gym membership as ID to register. You can self declare the date you voted and hand in the ballot up to a week after election date. No post mark needed. Someone can come to your house and pick up your ballot and deliver it. Same day registration.

52 Letting California get away with obvious election fraud just incentivizes other, nominally blue states to ramp up their fraud machines.

It also gives pause to leftists in nominally red states that elections can be stolen without recriminations. So they have incentives there to try.

I think it's a real problem if California's fraud goes unanswered by the authorities. And L.A.'s "election" needs to be nullified. Obviously, it won't. But it should.

57 The California tax that is starting out with billionaires (and will soon reach out to grab millionaires) seems radical, but of course property tax is based on assessed value which includes unrealized appreciation so it's not a new concept. I think most will be okay - they will borrow the money to pay the tax and raise their own compensation to pay themselves back for the trouble.

87 and how many other elections over the years actually stole elections for Democrats? 20%? 60%?

The conventional wisdom is that after Reagan's disastrous 1986 amnesty the Democrats used the new giant block of legal Hispanic voters to get in power, and then installed cheating. Certainly by 2004 California elections no longer were the will of any people outside of the DNC, and that's true in most long-time blue cities now, never mind blue states. (Or the occasional case like Georgia where corrupt GOPe types hand over election control to the Democrat cheat machine in exchange for being allowed to keep their seats).

Many people have noted that regardless of what happens in Cali, a lot of Democrats have already said publicly that this same "tax" is coming nationwide when they "win" in 2028, and it most definitely won't be confined to millionaires. You think housing's unaffordable now, wait until you're paying some percent of the assessed value to the IRS every year.

88 2 important things happened yesterday that show that the Dem Party together has completely devolved into LARPing insanity: First, an actual Nazi won a Democrat primary for the US Senate, and they're all patting each other on the back and saying it'll be fine.

Second, and this may sound like a stretch but hear me out - the Karmelo Anthony trial concluded in the way that everyone sane expected. When I looked at the facts, I saw a slam dunk case with no possibility of exoneration, and yet the Left collectively spent months fantasizing about idiotic tangents that would "change everything."
Self Defense? Against an unarmed youth who just touched you lightly? Idiocy.
The knife wasn't big? Big enough to call, issue closed.
It was raining! Who the hell cares!!!

Add to that the most pathetically bad legal defense I've seen in a long time; but it appears that the entire Left convinced themselves that he was going to walk away.

But the shipwreck of their hopes came with a Real Court, and a Real Jury, one which decided Guilt with only 3 hours deliberation and then sentenced him to 35 years in prison.

Anyone who didn't see that coming is living full time in a warped fantasy world.

110 There was something interesting about this (and I'll use the opportunity to link to Roman history.)

When the second Triumvirate (Octavian, Marc Antony and Larius? Larian?) went about their proscriptions (posting names of enemies and declaring their property and lives forfeit) they ran into an interesting economic supply/demand issue. The reason they were doing it was not just to wipe out their enemies (or those perceived as enemies) but also to fund their ongoing civil war against the Republicans.

Most of wealth is usually in property (even more so in those days.) When the properties were seized they then turned around and tried to sell them for cash, this created such a glut on the market that the real estate market tanked and they ended up receiving far less money than they had anticipated, on paper. So they gamely added even more names to the lists in order to make up the shortfall.

Remind you of anything (like every tax scheme ever?)

Okay, but it isn't their fault, you see. It's Trump's. No, I'm not kidding.

Democrats Are Literally Blaming Trump for Their Support of Graham Platner
... they’re justifying their support by pointing the finger at Donald Trump.
Adam Mockler, a commentator for the MeidasTouch Network, went on CNN's NewsNight to make the case that Maine Democrats backing Graham Platner isn't really a moral failure; it’s just a strategic necessity. His argument, stripped of the spin, goes something like this: Republicans lowered the bar, so Democrats have to follow them into the gutter.

.we have watched for a decade as Republicans have repeatedly lowered the threshold, lowered the standards for their candidates, and now Democrats are going to keep holding our candidates to an infinitely higher standard while we have Ken Paxton in Texas, while we have Donald Trump sitting in the Oval Office right now

Most Texas courts have a reputation for making good plea deals to avoid the expense of a trial, since the dockets are always packed. I believe an experienced lawyer could have pretty easily gotten Manslaughter with a 10 year sentence, with maybe probation after 5 with good behavior. AK could still have had part of his 20's on the outside.

Now because of that arrogance, he's looking at prison life until he's 53 years old, maybe out at 45 if he's a good boy. Barron Trump may be President by then.

158 "The Economy" seems dependent on constant growth. Even Trump seems intent on "inflating our way out" of the huge debt, though he does seem interested in cuts (at least to the huge frauds like USAID or massive Somali thefts).

Greenspan was maybe the biggest player in the easy money game, as he constantly cut rates, and that played out till we hit the "Zero Boundary". Talks of negative rates mostly failed, but we have not "reverted to the norm" yet.

Government itself is (perhaps) the biggest player in the inflation game, as we see with their constant growth, and humongous debt. "We" don't like government controls of The Economy, and yet it was those Greenspan cuts (and selective wars?) that fueled much of the market gains, and allowed our massive spending.

Getting the globalists out of the way would help ... some theories on Trump taking on the alleged British control of banking and power are interesting.

How much of the Holodomor was explicit policy and how much was just tragic, but inevitable, mismanagement is open to question.

The same situation was played out on a much smaller, more hilarious scale with the CHAZ when they tried to set up a farm. They still had stores outside they could go pick up roller dogs.

During last weekend's Formula One Grand Prix in Monaco it was noted just how many yachts were anchored there and how many were always anchored there.

Same goes for a number of seaside cities. Many notably in the Middle East.

Anchoring a yacht is fairly inexpensive for the well off. Running it is another story.

167 The SS administration says SS will run out of money in 2032. No link, because CNBC, but it's at Insty.

The Social Security Administration released a new report on Tuesday with fresh projections as to when the trust funds it relies on to help pay benefits may be depleted.
The OASI trust fund — formally known as Old-Age and Survivors Insurance, or OASI — will run out in 2032, at which point 78% of benefits will be payable, according to the latest projections.
While Social Security has never missed a payment, the looming shortfall may prompt benefit cuts unless Congress takes action.

I always assumed this, which is why I didn't wait until I was 70 to start taking distributions. I have enough of my own money, so I knew they'd come for me first. Think of it as an exit tax, for when you shuffle off this mortal coil.

Always reminds me of one of Heinlein's great quotes:

"Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty. This is known as "bad luck."

200 Well shall see.

The California One-Time Wealth Tax for State-Funded Health Care Programs Initiative (#25-0024) may appear on the ballot in California as an combined initiated constitutional amendment and state statute.

Under 'the initiative,' (oh, that's different!) net worth is measured worldwide as of December 31, 2026. It'll require Asset Valuation, Fair Market Value and certain Appraisals. It'll also have Exemptions and Limits plus Enforcement and Penalties.

Even if it would pass, how the hell long until enactment & who's smart enough among supporters to determine if billionaires' accountants, etc. are providing accurate information? Would it be for ALL billionaires, or would there be exemptions for entertainers, sports stars, etc.?

I think it could be more of a basic extortion feature, 'Hand over $xxx,xxx,xxx and we'll go away.' (S. King's Storm of the Century.)

But, if successful, over the years the 'initiative" will drift ever lower down the financial scale (but staying above the "Bernie Sander's level" of wealth) to capture money for 'initiatives.' (A much bigger Obamacare.)

Even if you’re not normally interested in what’s happening in low Earth orbit, you probably heard that last week NASA ordered its personnel aboard the International Space Station to button themselves up in the docked Dragon spacecraft and await further instructions should they need to make a hasty departure. Known as Safe Haven, this emergency procedure is performed whenever there’s an elevated risk of damage to the Station.

NASA has provided an update on what happened, but it arguably leaves more questions than answers. Usually, crews go to their Safe Haven because some bit of space junk has wandered to close to the orbiting complex, but this time it was because Russian cosmonauts Sergey Kud-Sverchkov and Sergei Mikayev were getting ready to start cutting into the walls of the PrK transfer tunnel in an effort to address its persistent air leak.

"The first storm warning for the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season has been issued.

The National Hurricane Center (NHC) posted its first tropical outlook on Wednesday, identifying a disturbance brewing in the Gulf of America with a 10 percent chance of developing over the next seven days.

Forecasters said a broad area of low pressure could begin organizing over the Bay of Campeche later this week.

While the system is not expected to strengthen significantly, meteorologists are monitoring it as the first potential tropical threat of the Atlantic season before it moves inland over eastern Mexico this weekend."

Kind of funny, I have mentioned this before. I have some audio letters my Grandparents in El Paso exchanged with Mom and Dad in about 1970. When I listened to them as a kid it was mostly mundane stuff. Grandpa talking about stuff around el paso, Grandma about books she had read or movies she had seen. Even my Aun as an early teen.

They are on cassette and I am looking at getting them converted to usb. He died in '86 and Grandma in '96. I just really want to hear them again. I can still remember he began almost every one with 'Hello Baba.' Mom's name is Barbara.

Eh, from reading other reports the Rooskies wanted to cut a bracket attached to the module's pressure skin, to be able to get observation access to a suspected leak site. Not cutting the pressure skin itself. But if that bracket provided critical structural support to the pressure skin, NASA needed to know the added stress on the skin and the risks. It is my understanding the Rooskies were not sharing that info with NASA. Prudence by NASA. And another example of the hazards of cooperating on safety-critical spacecraft structures with not totally-cooperative foreign partners.

299 Is Belfast Burning?

Foreign-owned businesses and several apartment buildings full of Muslims were burning. Apparently they were deliberately setting fires away from the apartment buildings so the authorities would have to choose. And I saw video where they were setting cars on fire at the top of hilly streets and then releasing the parking brake to create additional chaos.

It's like the Irish are good at rioting or something.

Belfast riots: Why did the PSNI specify suspect nationality?

Little Denise
Theo van Rysselberghe

This amuses me greatly because of her loose-limbed posture that the artist captures quite well. The model is his six-year-old niece, who clearly isn't listening to instructions. That lean is her attempt at amusing herself while the boring adult finishes up.

60 I was going to dismiss this as one of those paintings where the style, in this case Pointilism, is more important than the scene. Admittedly, the technique is amazing. Being able to apply small dabs of paint of varied colors to create a coherent image astounds me.

Then I looked at the girl. CBD nailed it. She is leaning back on the wall while her uncle fiddles with the art stuff. She's not sulking, just bored and probably wishing she could go out and play instead of hanging around in a 'fancy' dress. Her eyes, directly staring at the viewer, say 'are we done yet?'. Rysselberghe may be showing a sense of humor by using this pose instead of a more formal and stuffy pose.

127 Looking at his Wiki page and other sites with examples of his paintings, I noticed something. van Rysselberghe manages to give a feel of realism, especially for the people, despite the abstract technique of his painting. The skin tones and poses seem natural, the facial expressions are detailed, the objects in the scene look 'right'. Even when he uses rather exaggerated colors, the realistic effect remains. It's an interesting combination.

This upcoming movie could be good, possibly.

They definitely nailed the trailer.

Buuuuuut, the book was kind of a pile O'Poo.

Great high concept with a, maybe, 50 page story. The rest of the time was filled out with..."I hate my Daddy." Why didn't Daddy just love me? Why was he so hard on me? And finally, "Oh, well maybe he did kinda love me, the hard stuff helped me survive."

Same problem in the movie...maybe a 30 or so minute story. Hopefully, they can make the "outside the whale" parts better.

At best I see this as a Rocky/Noh mash-up.

Still..great trailer. Will get butts in seats.

Talk about vague when explaining it away: “But Platner has weathered a series of scandals, including the most recent recently where three different women accused him of being toxic and unsettling during their relationships. Now, NBC News has not been able to verify The New York Times reporting on this story, but Platner has said that the accusations are politically motivated and in some cases, not true. Now, Platner also acknowledging that he was forced to cover up a tattoo that some say resembles a Nazi symbol. He said he got that tattoo while he was in the Marines and didn’t know the significance at the time.”

It's an adorable painting & I'd hang it.

The Met: Little Denise (Denise Maréchal, later Madame Georges Béart, 1883–1956)

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 825

Van Rysselberghe’s six-year-old niece, Denise Maréchal, poses next to a marble mantelpiece and underneath a fashionable Japanese hanging scroll. At once innocent and self-possessed, the little girl holds her own in the geometric, structured setting. (More)

The Morning Report — 6/ 10 /26

Good morning kids. Well is anyone surprised that bearded clam oyster farmer Maine Kampf Platner won his Democrat primary? He is in the last analysis a quintessential Democrat — a prevaricating antisemitic pedophilia-connected/adjacent sex Pest. Hell, with attributes like that, just slather his head in Brylcreem and Newsom can kiss his presidential aspirations goodbye, nein?!

Speaking of which as CBD and I discussed in disgust on the latest episode of the podcast (linked here and in the sidebar and on the popular outlets listed at the bottom of the post)
Newsom's trail of destruction won't serve him well to say the least in the run-up to 2028 but considering the direction and mindset of the Democrat base, the prediction or wishcasting that that party and its movement are being abandoned may be just that. Yes they stole the LA mayor's race and will rig the gubernatorial race as is their wont despite both being bluer than blue. It's just how they roll. In any case with contenders like Newsom, Chlamydia Harris and Titty-Caca Ocasio Cortez already in the mix, look who is now being pimped: the moral equivalent of Alien chest-burster ass cancer:

California Dem Ro Khanna Being Prepped for 2028 Presidential Run by Biden’s Chief of Staff Ron KKKlain'sman...Khanna announced while speaking with left-wing ~~activist~~ terrorist Rev. Al Shvarpton at the National Action Network Conference in April. that he would “consider” a run after the November midterm elections.

Yeah the Democrats are becoming moderate. Pfft.

A new poll suggests that more than half of Democrats don’t like the U.S. or even want to live here, and it does seem like we’ve reached a fork in the road. The Democrats want a more socialist society with the government running more and more of our affairs. The funny thing is that most Democrat young people have never actually lived in a country like that, say Cuba, but they have fallen in love with whatever their college professor has told them about the socialist utopia. Another big difference is getting married and having kids, another point where the two sides don’t see eye to eye.. . So here we are. It does seem like we’ve reached that famous fork in the road, or a moment of decision.

Indeed, and our as in the GOP's response is illustrated this way . . . because besides this horrid oyster cracka we also have to likely endure the other cracker, in the mangled parlance of Trayvon's faked-inamorata Rachel Jeantel, the crazy-ass cracker (shift the hyphen) the crazy ass-cracker Lindsay Graham the bottom who came out on top yet again in South Carolina.

Moving on from the ridiculous to the utterly insane:

Attempted Beheading in Belfast... Celebrate diversity!
Anyone who is older than about 20 should be able to remember a time when we did not see, ever, stories of this kind in Europe or North America. What has changed, and what can we do about it now?
LBC reported Tuesday that “a stab victim is in serious condition in hospital after a gruesome knife attack in a street in Belfast. In harrowing video posted online, an attacker can be seen straddling the bloodied victim’s neck armed with a knife.”
It might have been taken down by the time you read this, but as of this writing on Tuesday morning, you can find the video here. The perpetrator “stabs the victim in the head repeatedly before taking the knife to the man’s neck, before members of the public rush over to stop the attack. Bystanders can be heard screaming in the clip: ‘He’s trying to cut his head off.’”

Lest we forget what happened about 10 years ago in Manchester to British army soldier Lee Rigby who was beheaded in broad daylight in the middle of the street. might have an ocean between us and the soon to be Islamized Europe but of course we have tens of thousands of head-choppers and that number in many multiples of their cheerleaders already here.

But if we didn't have them, we have always had our own homegrown savages in our midst courtesy of the Democrats. Their goal is to MAGSA . . Maintain America as the Great Society Always!

The repeat offender who stabbed Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska to death aboard a Charlotte, N.C., commuter train last year is incompetent to stand trial, a federal judge ruled on Tuesday. . . In the August attack, Brown appeared to select Zarutska almost at random, stabbing her repeatedly in the neck from behind before casually getting off at the next stop. Zarutska died almost immediately, apparently confused, and then with a look of tragic understanding on her face before she collapsed, unattended and uncomforted by any of the other passengers. The murder, caught on video, shocked the world.

If it had really shocked the world . . . I don't want to complete that sentence.

Have a great day,

I do not expect this administration, or the next, to absorb that lesson quickly. But anyone in Washington who wants a serious Iran policy, rather than another decade of the same one, should be paying attention to who will be in Paris on June 20.

A tremendously under appreciated LS song. Of course, it was not helped by the fact that it was first released shortly after the plane crash that took the lives of several band members.

Three days after the album was released, the band was devastated by a plane crash in which several members were killed, including Van Zant.

"That Smell" was the second single released from Street Survivors and failed to chart.

47 Instead of banning social media, the government and law enforcement should be searching for the ringleaders of these groups and arresting them for inciting violence. Sure the victims family don't want this, but since when do fash thugs care about that? They did the same shit in Dublin.

Time to take the kiddy gloves off and deal with the source, because it's clear that these lads are a large criminal element who can mobilize to terrorise the public at the drop of a hat (no jobs will do that) as per fash tradition.

These people never waste a good tragedy, but claim lefties are the ones who make everything political. A bunch of cutthroat, opportunist, cynical accelerationists. They’re taking this country to an extremely volatile and dangerous place, they’ll trash the place as usual, and other people will be left to clean up after them. The crime wad disgusting but using it as a cudgel to justify your racism is no less so.

Racists and right wingers will always be such. The middle are now losing patience with the asylum system. They're not gonna riot, but maybe others doing so will motivate change at a political level.

I am reminded, and agree with, the similar incident in Heinlein's "Starship Troopers" where some soldier deserts, kidnaps, and kills a little girl. They hanged him.

The protagonist explained that either his mental issues could be resolved or they could not. If they were resolved, how could he live knowing what he'd done? If they were not, what if he escaped - or was freed - and killed again?

Nope. You killed someone. You are a danger to society. Perhaps the Hindus are correct and you get to start over as an amoeba.

Since, odds on, the only people that are finding the stabbings, beheadings, and the outright colonization of England by Islamic terrorists are the historic English people, I find it reasonable to view Starmer's perspective as a declaration of war of extermination on the English people and culture.

Not every negotiated "deal" was Trump's doing. I'd presume at least some, maybe most of the negotiations with through Karachi at some point.

But, it would appear to be a moot point now. And hopefully the administration will not fall back on the Paki's to "deal" with Iran.

The Future Combat Air System (FCAS) program, launched in 2017, aimed to build a next-generation fighter to replace Eurofighters and Rafales by around 2040.

The move to scrap one of Europe’s largest defense projects comes as Western military officials warn of a mounting threat from Russia and the United States intensifies pressure on Europe to take care of its own defense.

The more than €100 billion ($115 billion) project, launched in 2017, was once billed as a symbol of Franco-German military unity.

But it has been plagued by years of political and industrial disputes.

--

It's hard to argue that. I agree with you. There are only 2 original members of Kansas left and they're both the founders of the band. One is Phil Ehart, the drummer. He gets unnerved when fans have that sentiment that they're just a cover band without all the originals. He equates to rooting for your favorite baseball team. You don't lose interest in, say, the Cincinnati Reds just because the Big Red Machine no longer exists as it was. You continue to support whatever players are on the team today. It's a reasonable analogy, but hard to disassociate yourself from what you know the original music, and musicians, were to you at the peak of their popularity.

187 What's going to happen is that election integrity reforms are going to kick in all of a sudden, right before the mid-terms, the Dems are going to be caught by surprise (even though a blind man could see it coming), and it's going to be a blood bath for them.

In reality, Dem voters, on the whole, really don't like these radical left lunatics, and are not excited about getting out and voting for them.

Gasoline has already started to fall, and with the Iranian economy in freefall, that regime won't last much longer. Huge Trump win.

Some areas we were led to believe are "blue" are going to turn out to actually be "red", while some genuinely "blue" seats will fall to MAGA. Trump doesn't have that much time left, and all the evidence has been collected; the counterinsurgency is going to finally make its move. All the ground work has been laid.

Ignorant scum don't know that:
1) Ireland was the one colonized
2) Ireland never colonized any land
3) the Irish were the first slaves sent to the Americas. Long, long before a single black foot touched there.

Lots and lots of cold discussions by the Crown on apportioning Irish men to the Americas land grantees.
Were they called "slaves?" No.
They were just able-bodied men and captured soldiers, given to the British military leaders as bounty for their victory.
With no funds appropriated for their wages.
And sent against their will to the Americas to work the plantations.

Or, you know, slaves.

Yup. After the primary, circle the wagons and direct fire exclusively at republican. Anyone who fails to understand why we need to do this is a subhuman and should be cast out of the community.

316 Watson v. Republican National Committee

This case deals with a 2024 lawsuit filed by the Republican National Committee and the Mississippi GOP against a Mississippi election law. The plaintiffs specifically contested that a state law allowing mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day to be accepted up to five days after Election Day violates existing federal laws establishing an election day for federal contests.
===================
Combined with the SAVE Act, this case ruling has the potential to be a watershed moment in election integrity in America. If SCOTUS says "Election Day" refers to "the Tuesday next after the first Monday in November", as the statute reads, instead of referring to an undetermined period of time each state can stipulate, then we have a big change coming.

His only option was to expose the fraud. He much he did. What “legal plan” could he have had, when the California legal system is the source of the fraud? Thinking leftist controlled courts would do anything but laugh is ridiculous.

California now obviously has a totalitarian, single party state, and that organization is far too strong to break from inside. Either the Federal Government finds a way to step in with force, or it stays in power as the entire state crashes and burns.

'Stop Destroying Civilization!' Should be scrolling billboards ringing the coasts throughout the summer season.

The left simply does not care, because there have been 'wins.'

(Biden/Harris) The Emmett Till Antilynching Act, signed into law March '22. It enables federal prosecutors to see penalties of up to 30 years in prison for individuals who conspire to commit a hate crime resulting in death or serious bodily injury.

BLM changed policing. It pushed budgetary reallocations in major cities, i.e., LA, NYC, Philly, Portland, Seattle, etc. (now more screwed up than ever). Dozens of Confederate monuments, symbols and more across the South were removed. Mississippi changed its state flag. Cities throughout the country removed 'offensive' symbols and statues & replaced them with murals and other works deemed inoffensive. School districts phased out zero-tolerance suspension frameworks in favor of restorative justice, peace circles. It has been claimed that counties with active protests saw 1+ percentage point increase in Democratic turnout, directly impacting the 2020 presidential election. It expanded the welfare state.

Daily Tech News 10 June 2026

Top Story

We haven't had a critical local privilege escalation bug in Linux for at least... What's the time now? (Ars Technica)

Today's little surprise package comes courtesy of an unexpected exclamation mark in the source code for the Netfilter module that handles firewall tasks resulting in a use-after-free bug that can pretty reliably be tricked into granting an unprivileged user administrator access to the entire system. Might break shared-kernel containers too; not sure about that.

If you think you're safe because you use iptables or lfw rather than Netfilter I have some uncomfortable news for you: It's Netfilter all the way down. That's been true since the last millennium.

Tech News

The FCC wants to kill burner phones. (404 Media)

Wait, you can still get phones in the US without signing over your firstborn?
The Pentagon has labeled multiple Chinese tech companies as... Chinese tech companies. (AP News)

As in they're all in bed with the Chinese military, which is not the army of China but of the Chinese Communist Party. Which it is and they are.
Google has just fired a shot across the bow of GitHub Copilot. (Tech Crunch)

Their entry-level AI plan has been reduced from $8 per month to $5 while doubling included storage from 200GB to 400GB.

Google's plan apparently is Russian roulette with steak knives, betting they can survive the blood loss longer than anyone else.
SpaceX has unveiled plans for an 11 million square foot satellite factory in Texas. (Tom's Hardware)

That... Um. That's a quarter of the 1000 acre site, in factory floor.
The Radeon 9070 XT has dropped to a low low price of $649. (Tom's Hardware)

The MSRP is $599 but it has rarely been available at that price, even less so since the Everything Sucks Era began.

At least in the US. Here in Australia I picked one up for $570 in March. Don't know exactly why it's like that; Nvidia cards here are as inflated as in America.
Container Machine is Windows Services for Linux for MacOS. (GitHub)

Basically.
Origin Code has shown off 128GB CUDIMMs for desktop PCs. (WCCFTech)

As in, individual modules. 256GB for a pair. Running at 8GHz.

Don't know if you can put four of them in a system, and the answer is probably not unless you have night job harvesting organs from unsuspecting Walmart employees in Minecraft.
Donut Lab's new solid state battery - breakthrough technology that boosted the company to a value of $1.25 billion - is not made of donuts. (Tom's Hardware)

I is also, apparently, not solid state. It's a regular lithium-ion batter in a fancy shell.

Yes, criminal investigations are under way.
Minisforums N5 Max is a NAS with room for five 3.5" hard drives and five M.2 SSDs. (Liliputing)

And dual 10Gb Ethernet ports, 80Gb USB4v2, and... A Ryzen AI 395 Max+ processor with 16 CPU cores, 40 graphics cores, and up to 128GB of RAM.

So if you're spending someone else's money (it starts at $2500 with no drives) and need to pack your entire lab into an 8" x 8" x 10" cube... It exists.

17 Evening and morning to all the late toilers, early risers, and satellites and satraps of the vast AoSHQ Empire!

I woke early, not the fault of the big black cat for once; I got enough sleep, but I don't quite feel like I did. Coffee is helping.

Yesterday I was surprised at how swiftly the apt. maintenance people came when I called about the bathroom ceiling drip. Twenty minutes and they were here. They fixed the drip, but then the A/C was not cooling right. When I called back, the guys were here in about ten minutes. They'd left a breaker switch off. Problem solved in a twinkling.

I'm not used to this quick service -- the way the place used to be in the '90s. Maybe I got lucky with the timing and these two guys had little else on their plate.

18 I spent 10 dollars today on a single response from Claude.

It was related to the decidability of the GB conjecture using computational methods, which PM has discussed here previously. The result is a proof of definitely not no, which is actually something as definite maybe is real progress against the parity problem using sieve methods.

It's the result of 6 years of work. The document is structured for reviewers and one can easily feed it to their AI of choice for dog of choice for easy assessment and similar result.

So I'm happy to report I've done things with stuff. Also we are going for a NIPT tomorrow. I mentioned before I'm 57. That matters. It's also divisible by 3 which you can tell by summing the digits and dividing by three. If the remainder is 0, it's divisible by 3. I sure hope our 2 becomes 3, but only God knows.

Mindful of how the JumpStart chain in Kansas scammed us by offering cheaper premium E20 (= lousy mileage) without labeling it as such, I wonder if this convenience store is doing the same. But my gas mileage is improved on the stuff they label as E0.

31 @20/no one of any consequence: "Funny. After spending my career writing software for embedded systems, I just don't care about it anymore."

Pretty common. After 30 years in IT, my enthusiasm level for messing with hardware, software, or network configuration reached "I'm tired, boss. I want out."

I watched more and more complex software be created with programmers being lazy and bringing in an ever expanding list of huge libraries, and I realized what was coming - a level of complexity where nobody really knew what was lurking in there in terms of security problems to come.

And today (now) we're at the point. Tons of zero-day exploits popping out as jump-scares for admins and users alike. The light at the end of the tunnel really was an oncoming train.

When I was abruptly thrown out my last IT job due to a layoff caused by a merger/acquisition, I came to a very strong conclusion of: "I don't ever want to go back to that. No, I can't go back to that. No. Nope. Hell no. NOOOOOO." (You get the idea.)

Now I drive school bus. Strangely, this is much less stressful, despite the screaming and misbehaving kids. (Yeah, it was time for me to get out of IT.)

I'm reminded out of the scene in Heavy Metal (Captain Lincoln F. Sternn's trial) - at the very end, Sternn pays off Hanover Fist for the utter disruption of the trial, and then pulls a lever and sends Hanover out into space now that he's served his purpose.

I imagine it is less stressful, at least when you aren't driving a bus with the lives of dozens of kids in your hands.

Go to work, drive. Off a few hours, drive again.
It's a lot easier than looking at computer code n a screen all day, I'm sure.

If it wasn't for the rowdy children, and the nuts on the roads these days you'd probably be in a permanent state of bliss.

45 @Wolfus: The head-butt for attention is a cat thing I absolutely loved. Dagny's getting downright cute.

"Big black Stirling is due for a new toy tomorrow, for his fourth anniversary living with me."

Go to a grocery and ask for a strong flat cardboard box that was used to ship in a very fragrant fruit. Stirling will probably rub against, love, and stay in that box many times over the next 2 to 3 days (if Dagny doesn't kick him out and do that herself.) Our cats always loved when we'd bring those boxes home.

Toys: I used to buy the cats catnip filled "mice" (strong canvas and cloth layers sewn together with catnip inside.) They lasted about 2 days and then catnip everywhere, and stoned kitties rolling around like idiots.

As for longer lasting cat toys: I dunno, cats are masters of destruction. I always found the really cheap stuff (Strips of paper, yarn, crinkly bags) were the things mine loved the most.

True. I love a nice pleasant drive, and some days I get it.

Other days though, when the kids have trod on my last nerve and I snap verbally, or traffic gets REALLY stupid around me. People in cars seem to think they can pull sudden moves around a bus because it starts and stops slow and they can just squeak around us because they're faster, creating dangerous conditions that could cause a collision.

This has been an ongoing thing at intersections lately (particularly 4-way stops) when I wait to take my turn per who arrived first so I'm last in the sequence, then I start out in the intersection, taking my right of way, and one of the other 3 gets stupid and jackrabbits out in front of me. Brakes. Horn. Frustration. Every other driver looking at the one that jack-rabbited with the "WTF" expression. Seeing that too many times lately.

Still less stressful than IT for me.

Therefore he missed the church young adult group going out for pizza and seeing the movie "Obsession" ( The kind young people had saved him some pizza) . He said, "Maybe I should have told the co-worker that i had a dinner engagement This s***s" I told him that he did the right thing. Besides, he can always suggest another movie such as "Deliverance Day"

The one that gets me: I, and the opposite lane car have arrived at about the same time. Him, before me. We both reach "stopped". I am signalling LEFT. He goes straight through as he has right of way per timing. As he's traversing the intersection, two vehicles have arrived and stopped at the perpendicular lanes' stop signs arrive. There's a guy behind him who is now pulling up to his stop sign.

Who's next to go? ME. I pull out mid-way through the intersection, and I'm just about to start my wide-turn to the left (40 foot bus, wide turns are always a thing!) and the guy in the opposite lane facing me, ignoring my signal lamp, jack-rabbits straight across the lane almost causing a collision if I'd started cranking the steering wheel.

Really hating on 4-way stops and impatient drivers lately.

When I just drove your standard passenger vehicles, I used to wonder why school buses drove so slowly and held things up. Now I get it: We're overcompensating for all the idiots on the road around us, because we HAVE TO.

Moving on from a CS career at first was jarring. Today, I treat teach like how I follow sportsball teams and limit hands on involvement to the bits I use to manage my life. This year the theme is replacing tech where it makes sense with a couple journals and pens; my life is much better I have rediscovered.

This shift has lead to other goofy obsessions such as finding the perfect pen. To date I find my Lamy Safari fountain pen and my franken Lamy Safari rollerball with its ink cartridge replaced with something from Pental and ballpoint spring to hold it in place indispensable.

SC is also quite loyal to some of our politicians.
Strom Thurmond was in office for decades as a Senator and Governor because of that.

If Tim Scott hadn't decided to leave office, he could've been re-elected multiple more times himself.

It's not just here, though. Incumbency helps a lot of politicians across the country even when they don't deserve it.
Take the Collins senate race or multiple others, as examples.

HMS Prince of Wales is cruising up in the Arctic regions being escorted by ONE Type 45 destroyer, HMS Duncan.

Meanwhile Starmer seems to be finally poised to release his Defense Investment Programme, DIP, this week. And the future of the Type 83 destroyer is looking bleak. The government is saying it cannot afford more borrowing or cuts in other Whitehall departments to afford increased defense spending.

Odd, that, since driving the colonizers into the sea, (or over it to go back to whence they came) has a pretty solid history of successes on its side.

I'm sure he would be aghast at another alternative -- capture the colonizers, slaughter the troublemakers, and enslave the rest.

Florida man vs gator

Man Sues Airboat Company After Alligator Bit Him In The Face

A South Florida man has filed a lawsuit against a Central Florida airboat tour company after an alligator bit him in the face during an attraction last summer, according to court records.
The lawsuit states that Edil Kasenov visited Airboat Rides at Midway in Christmas, Florida, in June 2025 and participated in the company’s free “Alligator Encounter” experience.
***
Court documents state that the alligator bit him while he was participating in the attraction. The lawsuit further argues that the business failed to maintain a reasonably safe environment for guests.
As a result of the incident, Kasenov is seeking more than $50,000 in damages. The case remains pending.

The math isn't mathing on this one

‘Teenagers’ didn’t exist until the 20th century

For most of human history, you were either a child or an adult. The word “teenager” first entered the lexicon in 1913, appropriately enough, but it wasn’t until decades later that it took on its current significance. The ages spanning 13 to 19 are formative no matter what you call them, but three developments in the mid-20th century had a major influence on the creation of the modern teenager.
The first was the move toward compulsory education, which got adolescents out of farms and factories and into high school, where they spent more time among their peers. The second was the economic boom that followed World War II, which created a new, highly sought-after demographic for companies and advertisers. And the third was the widespread adoption of cars among American families, which afforded 16-year-olds unprecedented independence.
Because one generation criticizing — and, to a certain extent, fearing — the next is a tale as old as time, not everyone was thrilled about this. In 1953, J. Edgar Hoover’s FBI published a report warning that “the nation can expect an appalling increase in the number of crimes that will be committed by teenagers in the years ahead.”

We had to do this on Guam on the sidewalks for which we were responsible in base housing. The concrete would turn black with the coral mold. And, you would end up being unable to feel your arms from the elbow down when you were done, because of the vibration of the power washer (communicated through the hose), and force of the water through the wand into your hands.

27 r/blackmen

America where a 14 year old boy can be chased 100 yards and shot in the back and the shooter can claim self defense.. because hes black
But another teenage boy can be jumped by three white kids much bigger than him, defend himself but be accused of murder.. because hes black.

this case will be appealed and he has a good chance of getting charges reduced due to how the case was handled and politicized.

I feel no sympathy for Austin Metcaff. May this be a lesson to all future Austins/bullies that you just might die and meet Satan for your actions.

Where’s Clyburn and all the congressional black caucus when shit like this happens? They’ll be in our ear telling us to vote in November and stay silent about this and Rick chow. Cowards.

its shocking one white kid can cross state lines with a rifle, shoot someone and be found not guilty but pulling a knife in a physical altercation makes this kid a cold blooded murderer who deserves no mercy.

this is a good use for ai and really can cut through human to human bs. A few days ago I plugged all the information into Gemini and it said the charge should be manslaughter not 1st degree.

Thanks to Doof for tonight's ONT. It was great meeting you at the 2024 NoVa MoMe.

The bit about teenagers leads to a question: when did recreations of the past becomes a thing? I'm thinking of Civil War Reenactments, Rennaisance Faires and so on. I suspect most people were too busy surviving to treat the past this way, but I dunno. Usually the past is something you want to get away from, not recreate.

I'm guessing modern media and media preservation might be the culprit. But then, I'm stupid so who knows what might be what.

Was a motive ever disclosed? Gang initiation? Whitey owed him money? Just a scumbag looking to fight?
Posted by: Robert at June 09, 2026 10:20 PM (lIDmF)

I believe it was the last one - Aggressive scumbag combative in-your-space-whitey black guy went into the rival track (track fer chrissakes) team tent to try and see if someone would start something that he was going to finish. Brought a knife and was planning to use it. Young white track star who had been left in charge by teacher/coach asked him to leave because he was: a) not supposed to be there; and, b) was acting completely and intentionally confrontational, when he didn't things started to escalate with the white guy pushing Anthony. Anthony, who had had his hand in his bag, on the handle of his knife the whole time, took out his blade and ended this young man's life. Leftists are actually arguing that Anthony, was somehow entitled to plunge a knife into this young, innocent, and reasonably acting white kid, because he was being a "bully," on this one occasion only, mind you. Think about the leftarded nature of this thought pattern

Dad Tonypete discovered some ancient blasting caps in a hidden nook of Grampa's barn and liberated them for fun. They were from the mercury fulminate era and has started to corrode. So, Dad and kids made a small pile of them in one of the fields where the steers weren't and shot at them with a .22 until the Earth Shattering BOOM!!! occurred.

First thing I said to the kids was 'Don't tell Mom what happened!' Well, tried to tell them - our ears were ringing for an hour or so and no one heard anything.

The following day Grampa and I loaded up the remainder in the car and delivered them to the local cop shop. They panicked of course and mobilized the bomb squad to dispose of.

If Ibrecall correctly, Kyle had a confrontation, from which he ran away. One of those guys had a pistol and shot in the air while another guy (the convicted pedo) gave chase. Rittenhouse shot him, then ran some more, skateboard dude smacked him on the head and received a lead reward, another guy tried to smack him , who Kyle shot at, with unknow results as that one never contacted authorities and was never identified, then the final.dude showed up with a gun, but Rittenhous shot first and turned his arm.into hamburger. So, nobody actually shot at Rittenhous, though one of the four people he shot at was prepar___ to.

Big dofference is thst all Rittenhouse's assailantsactually wanted to do him harm, while, from what I understsnd of things, Austin Metcalf was merely trying to get Anthony to leave an area he was not authorized to be, with no indication he was trying to hurt him.

See, Raman voters intentionally held their ballots to see how the election would play out before deciding how to vote.

Now...there are several problems with this theory, first, it is much easier to believe that some individual, not thousands of independent voters would make a coordinated decision, but more importantly Raman voters wouldn't know that it was "safe" to vote for her if they didn't see the results before voting and supposedly all those ballots being counted were cast before election day

292 What a person does when they are not being watched is a good test of character. The trick is that is not always easy to know.

When it comes to Platner knowing what he has been up to when isn't being watched is not a problem. The answer is he failed the character tests repeatedly and in rather spectacular ways.

His response has been to do a lousy Jimmy Swaggart "I have sinned" imitation. His sudden calls for us to grant him grace and to accept without a shred of evidence that he is a changed man, days before a make or break election, reeks of him throwing everything against the wall, so to speak, until he comes up with something that gets him out of the jam he created not over a couple days but over but years of rotten behavior.

With that in mind, one can look at who he is in terms of governance. Here too he comes up short. He has a gift of phrasing and delivery when tossing around a few trite platitudes; the sum of this is an illusion of substance. The reality is he is a volatile jackass with a mediocre record of success. Join that to his gossamer notions about governance and you end up a train wreck Senator.

Posted by: Tonypete

Neither of my grandfathers had high-school educations, because they had to quit school after "grade school" to work full-time. Such was life back then. Of course, that probably left them better-educated than most kids with B.A. degrees today.

Why do we see so many memes regarding Gen-Xers having it rough? Boomers (both early and late) did all of those things before them. They act like the X-ers invented that shit.
Posted by: Tonypete

Because the memes' target is the next generation down. You poke fun at your kids, not your grandkids. If Boomers and Xers put up with the same shit, how do the Boomers give the Xers shit about it? It's the younger generations that had remote controls and delivery pizza from birth, while we could only watch cartoons on Saturday mornings.

The victim has been described by locals as an 'extremely vulnerable' man who has difficulty hearing. He is originally from Scotland and moved to the area a few years ago.

His attacker moved in with another Sudanese man just days ago and asked the vulnerable man for help before the attack began.

They finish by saying there is absolutely no way the victim would have stood a chance against his attacker

/golf clap
Posted by: Bilwis Devourer of Innocent Souls, I'm starvin' over here at June 09, 2026 11:05 PM (w/O5Q)

That's the Senatorial Primary - and the lady who lost to the Nazi is Janet Mills, current, sitting Governor of Maine. You may remember her as one of the idiot Dems who literally threw herself onto the altar of "trans women" or as I like to call them: "pedo men in dresses" she really, really believes that these pedo men in dresses need to be in your daughter's bathrooms, locker rooms and on your daughter's sports teams. She was sued by the Trump DOJ. Even in earthy crunchy Maine, the tranny rights thing, and being an uber-Karen, is deeply unpopular. Her campaign for Senate tanked before it even really began. So much so that she "suspended " her campaign quite a few months ago.

- Drug addicts being shipped to Maine
- High Taxes
- Policies driving businesses out

If a migrant comes to our country and attempts to saw a man's head off in the street, a Restore Britain Government will not deport.

With the British people's approval, that savage will be put to death.

But that is not enough - these atrocities will keep happening. The barbarians are already inside the gates.

Immigration will end from countries that are proven to supply us with these monsters.

Third world migrants who hate our way of life will be removed from our country. Restore Britain will deport millions.

I have had enough. The British people have had enough.

We do not have to live like this - there is another way.

Death penalty, mass deportations, end mass immigration.

That is what Restore Britain will do.

Not a fan of the Bush family but notice no Islam is a religion of peace bullshit or diversity good like his cousin made as Prezzie. None of the this is not who were are bullshit either. That means the winds are changing on the whole racism/endless invaders/cheap labor rackets. It is getting less and less tenable as more and more facts get out about Somalis, the rampant theft of government money, the intentional violence and racial hatred that these groups aim at whites, etc.

The Overton Window has to shift before things can get done. Trump is doing a good job shutting the door to new illegals, trying to reduce H1B abuse, and cutting off the social service funding to those still here. A few years ago, you would have all these leading bleeding hearts on news nattering on about how racist this was and unpopular and enough people nodding their heads. Now the center is getting radicalized which is necessary for the mass deportations and removals.

I understand now that the real White Privilege is not having to care when other people do wrong and get shut down for it. In fact, it's *forbidden*, since nothing would scare The Regime more than White Solidarity.

But here's an open secret: as long as you don't belong somewhere else, if your only culture is American, then that is the race you can legit put on forms. I've been doing it since I learned about it. Apparently regional, mostly Appalachian, but nobody's checking your zip code to see if you're allowed.

I started looking because there seem to be more ballots counted, then people who voted... at least in some races, but not all.

Which was the reason the Sheriff there seized those ballots in the first place, that made Calif pass the law that no one outside the election folks can look at ballots...

Posted by: Romeo13 at June 10, 2026 12:49 AM (mP0Kj)

Karmelo should have gone for a plea deal, he’d have gotten much better than he’s gonna get now.
I knew a lawyer once that had a client involved in a very disputed sexual assault case. Guy said the girl made it up, the lawyer worked his butt off to get a plea deal of 5 years probation, no jail. Client said Hell no I didn’t do nothing I’m not pleading to anything!
Lawyer was pissed that all his work and advice was rejected out of hand, so when it went to trial, he just went through the motions. Instead of 5 years probation, the client got 15 years of hard time.

483 162 Dad Tonypete discovered some ancient blasting caps in a hidden nook of Grampa's barn and liberated them for fun. They were from the mercury fulminate era and has started to corrode. So, Dad and kids made a small pile of them in one of the fields where the steers weren't and shot at them with a .22 until the Earth Shattering BOOM!!! occurred.

First thing I said to the kids was 'Don't tell Mom what happened!' Well, tried to tell them - our ears were ringing for an hour or so and no one heard anything.

The following day Grampa and I loaded up the remainder in the car and delivered them to the local cop shop. They panicked of course and mobilized the bomb squad to dispose of.

Eh, almost every recent show or movie has some chick spewing the line that kids are4 awful and spoil your life and anyway you can wait till you're in your 30s or whenever. Freeze your eggs.

It's not always said that plainly but that's the message.

What women(well, ackshewallee, everyone) have forgotten is that (IIRC) ages 16-30 is the prime period for having kiddos biologically and fertility wise.

I've know several couples who waited till their mid-30s to have babies and have had a very hard time. Not all but several.

Biology is a strict mistress, folks.

Pelley the Concubine:

I’ve never worn the uniform. But I’ve been in combat for this country, in Afghanistan and Iraq, Kuwait. I’ve been shot at, spent nights in foxholes filling up with water in the desert. I’m not aware that the president of the United States has ever done any of those things for his country. Please correct me if I’m wrong.

"Standing right next to the Sainted Beau Biden, I was. I saw him take two to the chest and one to the right thigh. Had I acted sooner, I would have taken those kill shots in his place, but, alas, my game controller's charge gave out at that exact moment."

What happened is that the elites all agreed that *ALL* parties would support this, so there would be no way to vote your way out of it. In a few countries, opposition parties emerged, and the others conspired to smother them. Look at the Tories in the UK. It's all lies.

Ron Klain is an attorney who was an appointee of former President Barack Obama as the White House Ebola Response Coordinator. He was then named Biden’s chief of staff, after working as a senior adviser on his 2020 campaign, and is now a chief legal officer at Airbnb, while “using his personal time” to advise Khanna “as he prepares for a possible 2028 presidential bid”.

An unnamed member of Biden's former inner circle is reported to have endorsed Mr. Khanna, remarking "Why go half-dot when you can have a full dot?"

See, Raman voters intentionally held their ballots to see how the election would play out before deciding how to vote.

Now...there are several problems with this theory, first, it is much easier to believe that some individual, not thousands of independent voters would make a coordinated decision, but more importantly Raman voters wouldn't know that it was "safe" to vote for her if they didn't see the results before voting and supposedly all those ballots being counted were cast before election day

112 I suspect the UK regime is going use the riots as an excuse to double down on the weaponized immigration and digital ID/social credit scores to kill off resistance to the EU superstate. They won't need mass arrests. Those in the riots will be id'd and be banned from working, banking, and communications. This is the last act in the UK.

113 Sinn Féin is a political party advocating for Irish unification, while the IRA was a militant group historically linked to it; the two are separate organizations, though they have had a close relationship.

Sinn Féin has evolved into a mainstream political force, especially since the 1980s, while the IRA disarmed and ceased operations in the 2000s

120 I realize I missed the thread but even separating out "smartphone use" wouldn't prove jack shit if smartphones were the primary delivery mechanism for targeted leftard social propaganda.

Which, guess what, they are. 2007 was also the appearance of Obama on the American and world stage and we all know what damage that bastard and his cronies did to this society. Recall his "School Czar" wanted to teach "fisting to kindergartners" and that was like the 78th most shocking thing to come out of that dumbass administration.

Hell, when was "An Inconvenient Truth" released? The film that instructed the world, and shown in every single school starting in 2006, the giant lie that it was all going to shit and people are a poison for the planet?

There is so much that has occurred specifically since around 2007, including the long torturous ascent of the American Left, that it's impossible to know exactly what happened. But we can guess. I doubt it's simply "smartphones".

They aren't all smashing windows; some are setting up checkpoints around neighborhoods to stop cars and make sure no migrants are trying to get through, while others are checking the phones of passers-by and making sure there are no incriminating photos on them.

173 Cribbed from two different Twitter users:

Unlike previous, highly concentrated riots, very lightly manned burning barricades are distributed across the city at important traffic intersections, with no real clashes as such

The strategy seems to be to avoid concentrating in any one place, instead sending small contingents to burn the houses and shops of unwelcome residents, while placing barricades around the city in order to slow down the police. Emergency services get tied up putting out the fires and evacuating migrants, while the riot cops chase after ghosts.

A lot of people saw his speeches, too, and they were positively littered with lefty bs. Heck, you could argue Obama exposed the civilized world to more instantaneous leftardism than anyone previously had. Talk about a vector!

I read an excellent book about the IRA and The Troubles... and damned if I can even remember the name of it.

The Price sisters (Dolours & Marian) figure prominently in it. As do Blackie Hughes and Gerry Adams.

Dolours and Marian devoted their entire adult LIVES to the IRA. Marian Price said, "I never saw Gerry Adams with a gun, and I nefer saw Blackie Hughes without one."

186 173 Cribbed from two different Twitter users:

Unlike previous, highly concentrated riots, very lightly manned burning barricades are distributed across the city at important traffic intersections, with no real clashes as such

The strategy seems to be to avoid concentrating in any one place, instead sending small contingents to burn the houses and shops of unwelcome residents, while placing barricades around the city in order to slow down the police. Emergency services get tied up putting out the fires and evacuating migrants, while the riot cops chase after ghosts.

The Labour government has no legitimacy anymore and is well under a quarter of the population for support. Throughout Europe, popular discontent with the Europhile Eurocrats and their invading hordes has reached the end of the rope. Either the governments fall to be replaced by newly elected hardliners, or you get a no justice no peace situation and regime fracturing.

Germany, France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands, etc. are all beginning to burn the invaders out of house and home, next will be their businesses, and socializing spots, and so on.

Ireland's time of troubles was not so long ago that lessons are still known there. The main difference is that the Brits and really Irish no longer have the military and paramilitary police forces to handle such and trying to use them that way is likely to splinter those forces. Governments falling is likely the first step when they can no longer protect their pets from enraged locals, the second step is likely to be regime replacement either elected or worse.

And I think part of what is happening is that the US is no longer blowing billions of bucks via AID to subsidize the lefties and buy off angry nationalists.

CENTCOM forces struck Iranian air defense, ground control stations, and surveillance radar sites near the Strait of Hormuz with precision munitions from U.S. Air Force and Navy fighter jets. The operation was a proportional response to recent attacks on U.S. forces and international commercial ships transiting regional waters.

Farange, at heart was a Tory that wanted the UK to exit the Common Market. He was never someone that really wanted to send the illegals and 'refugees' back as he is trying to make Reform multi cultural like the Tories with Kemi Badenoch. His funding sources for his party are a bit murky with a hodge podge of people like the Father in Law and UK News funder, of Candace Ovens husband. Remains to be seen how this pickup team actually governs at the local level.

But it is clear that Rupert and Nick have a fundamental disagreement over the role of any immigration and whether current ones that have flooded in for well over a decade have to be returned home.

If you lived in government tenements and word leaked out that someone in your family-friend circle said something negative about IRA, or were seen some place the IRA deemed unacceptable, you might just end up dead and buried in a sand dune or rocky heath.

"Despite trying to promote equality, EEOC's disparate impact liability interpretation under Title VII actually fosters the very discrimination its guidelines seek to address," said Acting Attorney General @DAGToddBlanche.

Mangum is an evil bitch that ended up stabbing someone later on and is now doing a poor poor pitiful me act. I have no tolerance nor sympathy for her nor Karmelo. Plenty of people grow up from shitty lives or even suffer mental illness without hurting people.

The truth is that some people are evil and you cannot fix them. So the best you can do is pray for them to realize the gravity of all that they did, beg forgiveness from others, accept their just societal punishment, and try to live the rest of their lives owing those that they wronged so much.

The Left, Which Has Propagandized Against Childbirth and For the Self-Extiction of the Human Race for 50 Years, Wonders Why People Aren't Having Babies Any Longer

Of all the anti-human psyops of the left, this one is the most consequential -- and insidious.

The New York Times looks right past their own relentless anti-childbirth propaganda and names "cell phones" as the disruptor.

Now, thare's some truth in that -- in that the cell phone is The Regime's greatest achievement, a mobile, personal, 24/7/364 portal to Regime propaganda.

Why Are Birthrates Down? Two New Studies Point to Phones.

Modern smartphones rolled out in 2007, the year that fertility rates began falling. Two studies say that is not a coincidence.

The enduring mystery of the fertility decline has a new culprit: the smartphone.
Experts have long wondered if phones played a role in the birthrate decline -- which began in 2007, the same year that Apple introduced the iPhone -- but until now there had not been hard evidence to prove it.
Two new papers, one published Monday and the other in May, are the first academic endeavors that test whether the smartphone was a cause.
They are the most recent efforts to explain the sweeping fertility rate decline in the United States and other countries over the past 20 years. Researchers have already looked at contraception use, abortion rates, rising levels of female education and even the popular television show "16 and Pregnant."
Proving phones caused the decline is a tricky endeavor. There were a number of major events in those years, including the Great Recession, and isolating smartphone use is difficult.
The gold standard for scientific evidence is known as random assignment. It compares outcomes for people randomly chosen to receive a treatment (like getting a smartphone) with people who are not.
But that is not possible when it comes to ferreting out reasons for declining fertility.
So researchers sought out data about smartphones that introduced randomness.
Caitlin Myers, an economist at Middlebury College, and Ezekiel Hooper, her student, used the spotty early rollout of the iPhone as a way to isolate the effects of the phone on fertility. The first iPhone was released in June 2007, they wrote, and was available only on the AT&T network until February 2011. The study compared fertility rates in U.S. counties that had near-universal AT&T coverage with counties that had little or none.

Their paper, published in the National Bureau of Economic Research, found that the iPhone caused as much as half of the fertility decline between 2007 and 2011. The most pronounced effects were among young people aged 15 to 24.
What happened in the counties with iPhones? One theory, Professor Myers said, is that young people began to socialize more on their phones and less in person, and consequently were less likely to have sex and become pregnant.

And what messages did they get over their cellphones 24/7? Constant crisis, constant fear, constant messaging that the world was ending and it was all due to human births, constant messaging in favor of hook-up culture and abortion and, for the boys, pornography, and constant messaging against marriage, the family, and humanity itself.

And then they wonder: Why are women under 40 barren by their own decisions and actions?

There is nothing random about counties with and without ATT coverage -- ATT made a decision on what to cover based on density, wealth, etc. So that confounds the study into the trash bin.

11 I know why I don't have kids. I spent time on my career, not learning how to get to first base with women.

I'm also one of those who subscribes to the definition of marriage from Genesis.

13 The cellphone is insidious. Before I retired, I would walk across campus and see almost every single students glued to a cell screen, whether sitting or walking (and not watching where they were going). When I started working there in '88 and again in 2002, students actually looked up and around at the world.

Miss Linda sits here every evening and scrolls endlessly on her phone.

I use mine for phone calls and texts, and not much else. It stays in the car when I go into the library or someplace that asks you to mute the device.

14 I'm pretty sure fertility and birth control are two separate issues. Many young women don't want to have children. It's very difficult to support a family in these modern times and even more difficult to establish a home without getting youself into debt up to your fucking eyeballs. But rest assured, the economists and the government are on your side.

Posted by: Rev. Wishbone at June 09, 2026 06:20 PM (pSkMS)

15 If the dumb bitches worried about climate change aren't having children, that's natural selection at work. Good job.

And population decline when the hardy survive isn't a bad thing.

Screw the ever growing economy....

26 Rarely do we get great news, but liberals no longer procreating sounds like a big win to me.

This has been a trend for a while, religious people and conservatives are having all the kids.

I don't think its phones directly, but social media is definitely a big part. I was talking to a youth group leader and she was saying just relationships in general are very odd with young people. Like nobody feels they have any friends.

I think it's partly economic. Buying a starter home in large swaths of America is basically gone unless you have family money. You can thank Private Equity and VRBO for destroying that. If you can't buy a house, do you really think people feel safe starting a family?

She pledged:

"...to put diversity, young people, and language rights at the heart of her term in office."

She also said:

“I was raised in an inclusive and welcoming environment, where difference and diversity is embraced and celebrated, and I am proud of that. My upbringing has shown me that everyone deserves to be, and must be, treated equally.”

What a great start, her words have aged like milk and shes only been in the role for 8 days!!!!

42 Watched some random panel discussion the other night about declining birth, marriage, dating, sex etc. and one guy did tie it to the iPhone and social media but started with noting that kids in clubs don't dance. Why? The panopticon. Everything is on video and gets broadcast worldwide. You don't look cool enough you get put on blast. You ask a girl out and she thinks you aren't hot, you get put on blast. You do anything at all that somebody doesn't like you get put on blast and shamed in front of the whole world.

80 Soy does not affect testosterone or raise estrogen in men. It does contain plant based phytoestrogens, but it does not effect hormones unless you are eating more soy than would almost be possible, and the minute you stopped eating it, because you probably want to throw up, the minimal impact would reverse almost immediately. BUT what studies have shown is eating soy (like in soy protein shakes, or edamame, or tofu) in normal amounts actually has a positive impact on prostrate cancer. It also has shown in multiple studies to have a positive impact on bone density in women.

I either put my phone into the center console, or leave it on the passenger seat. If it signals a call or text, I wait until I get to my destination. If I know it's important I pull into a parking lot before answering or calling back.

There are too many crazies out on the road for me to be distracted by phone calls. Hands free would not be any better.
Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere

My phone connects to my car, I don’t and won’t look at it while driving. I will do voice to text through the car, which can be funny if it doesn’t hear you correctly. I don’t like talking on the phone even if I am not driving, so that is rarely a concern.

99 I think people say "climate change" for why they arent having kids to look noble, but it's not the real reason. Nobody doesn't have a family because they're worried about storm patterns.

In addition to a lot of things like economics, the hook up culture shares a lot of blame also. Women thinking a career is super important sort of sideline themselves until its too later. Men dont want to start a family with a woman that's nearly 40.

118 I realize that the internet, and specifically social media, has made everyone intensely stupid.

I was struck by this when watching this Karmelo trial play out. The evidence was overwhelming, incontrovertible, even; and the self defense claim was laughable. The "size of the knife" was an incredibly stupid issue for anyone to bring up, because it meant absolutely nothing. It was big enough to kill, issue closed. It was an obvious slam dunk conviction to me, right from the start.

Add to that one of the most incompetent defense performances I've ever followed, by an absolute clown for a lawyer. And yet here were a host of people saying KA would be found innocent because he was just a sweet nice boy. Was I crazy, or were there?

Answer is in - their hopes were shipwrecked on the cruel hard rocks of Reality, and a 3 hour guilty verdict in a murder case is about the most slam dunk declaration of guilt that you will ever see. And yet the net is full of all these people crying and wondering, "how could this have possibly happened?"

They have lost all connection with reality, and live in some kind of LARP world full time now.

128 Planned Parenthood was established to abort minority babies. In that, it was moderately successful, until the incentive among minorities proved a counterweight.

That truism about declining birth rates isn't completely true; or at least it's quite misleading. I have a very conservative catholic nephew in north Florida, and he and his wife have 7 kids. A lot of conservative Christians see it as their duty to have families like that.

A dark joke I've often made, and which is looking more likely to come true every day now, is that within 40 - 50 years the US will be populated by 50% conservative Christians, and 50% Mexicans. And that'll be an interesting mix.

It's an uncomfortable topic to mention, but the black segment of the population - except for those who intermarry with the hispanics, and in my part of the world there's a lot of that - is weeding itself out of the population.

My brother in his early 40's went through a nasty divorce. At first he jumped into the dating scene and was loving it, but became bitter.

He honestly would be a "catch" for one, he's rich. A woman his age would kill to marry him if they knew what he was worth

But he just says its too much damn work. He also got sick that every date was basically trying to size up what his economic value was. Questions like do you rent or own, etc.

The women his age, it's like pure economics for their motivations. And they have absurd standards.

From what I recall, there is one outlet for both the dishwasher and disposal, from what I've seen. Check that they are both plugged in. Check the circuit breaker is not tripped by cycling it.

If it is an older place, there may be one GFCI outlet on the bank of kitchen outlets that could have tripped. Reset that.

On newer constructions, the breakers may be GFCI - ours are - and you will have to reset the breaker and/or GFCI in the panel, where the GFCI on the breaker is a little colored pop-up button that you can reset.

If you consider the Left is much about projection, it might make some sense. Create a massive underclass that you can rule over. They do it with (illegal) immigration, because abortion is a sacrament to the AWFLs for their own use. Maybe they assume the other side must have similar motives.

Florida goes from 0 to 345 ft above sea level.

ND from 750 to 3506. KS from 679 to 4039.

The eastern halves of those states are pretty flat. They just get too close to the Rockies on their western ends to be "flattest."

I think the Red River Valley in northeastern ND and northwestern MN is "locally" the second-flattest place in the country, behind Utah's salt flats. It was the bottom of "Lake Agassiz" for a few millennia after the last glaciation.

254 I had some marriage and family issues today. My younger daughter came over. She told me she worked a wedding at the winery where she sometimes works. She told me the bride went up into the barn loft. Her father went up there to greet her and begin the walk down the aisle. The bride was clearly very moved. Ten years ago, when my daughter married, there was family drama causing her to essentially elope rather to have a big ceremony. She told me, tearfully, that she regretted that she had not had me there to walk her down the aisle. I never blamed her for the drama that had prevented a ceremony but I was sad she and I were deprived of that.

Report: Bari Weiss Will Assume Editorial Control Over Basketcase Ratings-Disaster Partisan Spin-Shop CNN

Via Steven Miller, who's worried about Tater.

And what will happen to Fake Jake?

CBS News boss Bari Weiss is likely to gain editorial oversight of CNN if and when Paramount Skydance's acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery is approved, according to a report.
Paramount executives are said to have held preliminary discussions with several candidates who would come in and run the business-side operations next to Weiss while she continues to oversee editorial.
The company is considering several big names, including current CNN CEO Mark Thompson, NBCUniversal News Group chairman Cesar Conde and former NBC News chief Noah Oppenheim, Axios reported.
Ben Sherwood, currently CEO of Daily Beast, and former CBS News president David Rhodes are also under consideration, according to the report.
The search implies that once the merger goes through, Weiss will also be put in charge of CNN's editorial operations, Axios said.
...

According to Axios, Ellison couldn't be more pleased with Weiss' performance thus far.
"The Paramount brass loves Bari Weiss," a source told the news site.
"She has the full confidence of David Ellison, who believes Bari has done a fantastic job as editor-in-chief."
...
Paramount Skydance's proposed acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery has not yet closed, though both companies have said they expect the roughly $110 billion deal to be completed in the third quarter of 2026, pending regulatory approvals and any legal challenges.
Warner Bros. Discovery shareholders have already approved the transaction, but the merger still faces scrutiny from antitrust regulators and California Attorney General Rob Bonta, who has said his office is reviewing the deal.

thanks to runner.

Fake Tapper knows that, like Pott Smelley, he'll be one of the first overpaid prima donna Theater Kid jokes to be fired by Bari Weiss, so he's preparing his Heroic Flounce.

CNN's The Lead host Jake Tapper leaned on his sanctimonious reputation late Wednesday afternoon as he devoted the first 14 minutes to huffing about CBS News firing longtime 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley for his petulant reenactment of Pickett's Charge, thinking he could eviscerate his bosses and intimidate them in his "house."
For the second of three segments, Tapper turned to former ABC colleague Terry Moran and former CBS January 6 correspondent-turned-MeidasTouch host Scott MacFarlane. Both are now at Substack.
MacFarlane went first, declaring "[n]obody wins if 60 Minutes is damaged" because "[i]t's still one of those rare media entities, Jake, that can cut through the noise and cut through the clutter."
[Disgraced fake "journalist" now working for a Biden political PAC McFarlane] then embarrassingly referred to Pelley as "the living Mount Rushmore at CBS News" and that, speaking for himself, he wasn't known at CBS as "Scott" because that name had "reverence" reserved for Pelley.
"I'm surprised that anybody would get rid of a transcendent personality who can attract an audience or who is associated with the strength of a brand. You watch Scott Pelley on 60 Minutes. You knew you were going to get a comprehensive report. You never want to damage a brand by getting rid of the pillar of the entity," he further opined.

Scott Pelley was fired by CBS from the "anchor" position by Ben Rhodes' brother David Rhodes. For months, Rhodes schemed about how to solve "the Scott Pelley problem," as Sheryl Attkisson reported. She said that Pelley was "unpopular" at CBS because of his domineering incompetence, insisting on rewriting and censoring reporters' stories after, emptilly, assuring them that their reports would be the "stars" of the show.

She also made this funny quip about his preening, Look At Me ego:

Sharyl Attkisson
@SharylAttkisson
Perhaps David Bloom put it best. "When Scott Pelley gets in line at Starbucks and orders coffee, he doesn't order what he really wants. He orders what he wants people behind him to hear him order."

Mount Rushmore? Seriously?

MacFarlane at least conceded much of 60 Minutes's large ratings are owed to its lead-in from NFL games.
...
The only explanation, [disgraced partisan lightweight fairy Terry Moran] argued, for the changes to the show are from Paramount Skydance boss David Ellison "want[ing] to curry favor with Trump."
Drool was missing from Moran's shirt as he said this about Pelley's fellow fired colleagues: "They fired Cecilia Vega and Sharon Alfonso, two fearless, bold journalists, troublemakers. I mean, in a good way, good trouble, right, as John Lewis used to say."

I can't help noticing they only made trouble for one political movement.

Tapper presented MacFarlane with the reality that "polls do suggest that the media trust is at an all-time low" and wondered if he saw any validity in that widespread belief in legacy media having "an anti-Trump spin, liberal spin."
MacFarlane scoffed, deriding the idea that those polls are legitimate or provide context:

Former CBS correspondent-turned-MeidasTouch pundit Scott MacFarlane scoffs at the notion found in polls Americans don�t trust the media...

�I would venture the bold prediction that, if Americans were surveyed about the trustworthiness of 60 Minutes, it may have more support and� pic.twitter.com/PWaLEOKTia
— Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) June 3, 2026

...
Moran hurled predictable venom in his heart for half the country, arguing we're too partisan and stupid to appreciate what he believes is real journalism: "I think chasing MAGA audiences are a fool's errand because they don't want the kind of journalism that 60 Minutes does, which is in-depth and straight and fearless. They want the journalism that flatters their own prejudices."

Fired ABC correspondent-turned-Substack host Terry Moran says Scott Pelley�s firing from CBS�s �60 Minutes� is �a fire bell in the night� about press freedom from corporate interference and that anyone in legacy media appealing to �MAGA audiences� is �a fool�s errand� because� pic.twitter.com/jLHKuRgBNT

Jake Tapper just opened his show with a snarky commentary about how much he hates Bari Weiss and Nick Bilton for what they've done to Scott Pelley.
His panel to react? Former network correspondents-turned-Substackers Terry Moran (ABC) and Scott MacFarlane (CBS)

Curtis Houck
@CurtisHouck

WATCH: CNN's Jake Tapper opens his show with over 14 minutes melting down over CBS News, Bari Weiss, and Nick Bilton firing Scott Pelley....
Tapper: "Now, let's zoom out for a second to look at the core issues here and why this larger 60 Minutes overhaul may be happening because this story is relevant...
"[T]his is also a story of media consolidation and those who are trying to build big mega-companies in the environment where we have a President who is more than willing to impose his likes and dislikes on the regulatory world. Now, people close to Bari Weiss insists that the CBS overhaul is about culture, not politics. They think that 60 Minutes is an archaic institution that is in urgent need of reinvention. Bari Weiss argues that the news media needs to be fairer and needs to regain the public's trust, and her boss, David Ellison, says that CBS News needs to appeal to the 70 percent of the country that is in the political middle."
"On the other hand, what 60 Minutes defenders see as its strengths, the Bari Weiss individuals and executives see as potential shortcomings, and they're determined to rebuild this news magazine for a digital world in a vertical video age. But Scott Pelley and others at CBS, and others who used to be at CBS do think there's something more, something political behind this rebuild. They say that Paramount's new owners, with David Ellison at the top, are seeking a closer relationship with Donald Trump and his administration and that Ellison appointed Weiss to appease Trump and overhaul 60 Minutes, which Trump doesn't like, and all of CBS News, which Trump doesn't like."
"And this argument goes that all of this is happening in order to get approval of the purchase of Paramount last year by David Ellison's company and the pending purchase of Warner Bros Discovery any day now. And of course, we should note Warner Bros Discovery owns CNN. If you want to know one of the reasons why people keep suggesting that new ownership of these news organizations is behind wanting to curry favor with Trump, and that's one of the things driving all this, it's because of things that President Trump keeps saying, or Secretary Haggseff, just a few moments ago, President Trump said this to CNN's Kaitlin Collins...."
...
TAPPER: "A reminder that President Trump calls any reporting he doesn't like felt -- false, and any reporting he doesn't like garbage. Again, CBS News and Paramount reject the assertion of any political influence or interference."

So that's Fake Jake accusing Bari Weiss and Larry Ellison of making MAGA TV. He covers it with some he-said, she-said, but it's clear -- based on the number of words he devotes to each proposition, for one thing -- which side he's claiming is the truth.

WATCH: CNN�s Jake Tapper opens his show with over 14 minutes melting down over CBS News, Bari Weiss, and Nick Bilton firing Scott Pelley....

Posted by: Smell the Glove at June 09, 2026 05:10 PM (zj5z7)

45 "The company is considering several big names, including current CNN CEO Mark Thompson, NBCUniversal News Group chairman Cesar Conde and former NBC News chief Noah Oppenheim, Axios reported."

There is no way that Oppenheim should be considered for the top slot. He was responsible for the Access Hollywood fiasco with Billy Bush and DJT back in 2016. That wasn't a story, and I always thought that he gave the 'scoop' to Fahrenthold at WaPo to keep his hands clean. It would have been too suspicious to have his people at NBC have the story when the off-the-record footage was with a property that they owned.

McFarlane, meanwhile, was known around the office as
"Brownie Brown-Nosed McBrown-Noser Asskisser"

"I'm surprised that anybody would get rid of a transcendent personality who can attract an audience or who is associated with the strength of a brand. You watch Scott Pelley on 60 Minutes.

Im sure he had taken quick turnaround ventures, but typically folks hang onto things. If he blows it up and then has to sell - he's the one ultimately taking the haircut.

Much like Bezos gets pummeled for not wanting to lose 100M year at the Washington Post. But the darlings will scream because it's not their money. "We" know what we're doing.

116 I wonder if this is true - breaking from Daily Mail:

Anthony was originally warned he faced between five and 99 years behind bars for Metcalf's April 2025 stabbing at a track meet in Frisco, Texas.

But after the verdict was passed on Tuesday, prosecutors agreed to consider 'sudden passion' as a factor when determining Anthony's sentence.

Sudden passion is a legal term that allows a criminal to argue they were in an intense emotional state when they committed wrongdoing. If it is granted, it would reduce Anthony's murder to a second-degree felony.

Judge John Roach has yet to rule on whether to accept the sudden passion defense. If he does, it could see Anthony serve as little as two years behind bars, with a maximum sentence of 20 years.

Roach could ultimately decide to rule against the sudden passion application and give jurors the powers to put Anthony behind bars for the rest of his life.

Rioters are breaking into migrant HMOs (Houses in Multiple Occupation, a form of taxpayer-funded housing for asylum seekers) in Belfast and setting them ablaze.

132 But after the verdict was passed on Tuesday, prosecutors agreed to consider 'sudden passion' as a factor when determining Anthony's sentence.

Hard argument to make, when you go to a sporting event armed and then look for opportunity to assault someone. IMHO.

It happens. I am still reading updates on it. There are some funny GFM/GSG updates.

Following thousands of community complaints, GoFundMe completely removed the Anthony family's secondary campaign page. Per platform terms, GoFundMe chose to proactively refund all money collected on their system back to the donors.
------
As the main campaign on GiveSendGo scaled past $450,000 to $600,000, the platform's Trust & Safety team froze the funds.

GiveSendGo's co-founder confirmed they held the cash until the family could explicitly clarify the use of the funds so that donors "can be confident in how their donation is being used."

The largest surge of refund demands occurred after Karmelo Anthony requested a court-appointed public defender, citing financial hardship. Backers who gave money explicitly to secure "top-tier legal representation" felt intentionally misled when the family shifted the financial burden to taxpayers while simultaneously increasing their fundraising goal to $1.4 million.

Think about the definition. It checks all the boxes: from all over the world, they send their kids to the same schools, where they learn in the same language (English), get indoctrinated in the same cult (Social Justice), and end up marrying only each other.

Language, culture, genetics. Airplanes are taking them from a class within each nation, to a separate people over all. And Davos is their true capital.

164 There were three once-in-a-hundred years news stories which occurred over the last ten years and which the Press missed ON PURPOSE and ACTIVELY OBSCURED. 1. The DOJ/FBI/Intelligence people conspired to frame an elected President as a secret spy of a hostile foreign power; 2. COVID-19 was the result of lab experimentation in a likely illegally U.S. funded lab; and 3. The United States was run by an unelected and unnamed Regency Council while the sitting President suffered from advanced progressive dementia and was unable to fulfill the duties of the Office for his entire term of office.

We lived through this and we know that they knew (many in the Press participating in the conspiracies themselves) and still they pretend that they are straight non-partisan shooters.

So the Irish were never asked, it was never put on a ballot, all the parties agreed and that was that. No way to vote out of it.

So now they're reacting in trademark Irish fashion. I love that Orange and Green are collaborating for once. Irish unity!

China is suffering in that it is not getting Venezuelan or Iranian oil at the embargo discount that was enforced by the US Navy, however, by the oil industry analysts' determination, the loss of Iranian oil and the other gulf states' oil is being re-routed or replaced by expansion in production from other areas, and is about 90% compensated for.
China is hurting because they pay market price now, and India is hurting because they can't transship Iranian oil at a mark-up to Europe

Meanwhile China writhes in unexpected agony and watches its balance of trade turn to crap. Oh, and they are also needing sooo much of our oil (or Venezuela's same thing!).

295 Gas is dropping here too. $3.49 at my usual Exxon, down .10 from last week. Their ethanol-free is holding at $3.69, but that's a dollar cheaper than elsewhere. I do get better mileage on that fuel, so I'm pretty sure it is E0.

Murphy Oil stations with E0 offer a lovely [sarc] price of $4.52 -- but then it's premium E0, 91 or 93.

Next week I need to call about having the Buick's spark plugs changed. It's due at 98,500 miles, says the manual, and the big red beast just clicked over to 99,000.

It's funny, because it's true. You know, they might actually believe that there's no justice or merit in America, because they themselves don't deserve their positions. They're observably bad at their jobs; obviously got there by 'who' they know not 'what' they know.

It would be better to not have powerful enemies, but it's nice that they're incompetent.

327 Jake Tapper knew early on that the Steele dossier was a frame job. He tweeted that there was a different Michael Cohen that traveled to Prague. No attempt to find out why the FBI didn't think this was a remarkable coincidence. Obviously they looked up Michael Cohen's travel info and found this other Michael Cohen who went to Prague.

Instead Tapper complained to Buzzfeed for releasing the dossier and letting the public see the bogus claims. He wanted to control the narrative.

Breaking: Psychopathic Race-Murderer Karmelo Anthony Convicted of Brutal Killing of Innocent Athlete
"Protesters," Get This, Begin Punching People; Police Are Arresting the Thugs

Washington Times:

A Texas jury on Tuesday found Karmelo Anthony guilty of murder in the fatal stabbing of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf at a Frisco high school track meet last year, concluding a closely watched trial that drew national attention over questions of race, self-defense and school safety.
The Collin County jury deliberated for about three hours before returning its unanimous verdict. The same jury will now decide Anthony's sentence. Under Texas law, a murder conviction is punishable by five to 99 years in state prison.
...
The case stems from a confrontation at Kuykendall Stadium in Frisco on April 2, 2025, where Anthony, then a student at Frisco Centennial High School, and Metcalf, a student-athlete at Frisco Memorial High School, clashed under a team tent where athletes had gathered during inclement weather. The altercation ended when Metcalf was stabbed in the chest. Medical examiner testimony at trial revealed that Metcalf had been stabbed through the heart, with a two-inch wound described as "gaping."
Prosecutors characterized the stabbing as a provoked, unjustified "sneak attack" inside the team tent, while the defense argued it was a split-second act of self-defense born of fear and chaos. Anthony did not testify in his own defense.
...
Anthony, now 19, was convicted in Collin County District Court in McKinney. The sentencing phase, to be decided by the same jury, was expected to begin promptly given the speed of deliberations.

BREAKING: 19-year-old Karmelo Anthony has been FOUND GUILTY in the mu*der of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf at a Frisco high school track meet last year.

The Collin County jury reached the verdict after just hours of deliberations.

From Fox:

“ A jury has found Texas teenager Karmelo Anthony guilty of murder in the stabbing death of Austin Metcalf at a high school track meet last year.

A murder conviction carries a maximum sentence of five to 99 years or life in prison.The verdict came just three hours after deliberations began, and Anthony now faces up to 99 years or life in prison.”

37 4. Correct. The sentencing phase can take it down to a "heated passion" second degree felony, which caps sentence to 20 (vs. a 99 year max for first degree).

I dont think he is going to get more than 30 for M1 myself, but who knows. I also dont see how the jury would find guilty of M1 and still think this was in any way self defense.

Posted by: Nick in Tallahassee at June 09, 2026 03:44 PM (wrEn7)

38 I know this verdict will not bring Austin back, but I do hope it brings some measure of peace to the Metcalf family,

I also pray for Karmelo. He ruined his entire life before it even had a chance to start. I hope he truly finds Jesus as this is the only way to change his heart.

52 I'm surprised. I predicted manslaughter given my read of the jury and the almost short time they deliberated. Suggested a compromise verdict.

I don't think there will be riots. Look at the footage outside the courthouse. There's more reporters there than potential rioters.

The usual suspects of race pimps and grifters were conspicuously absent from this case. It was almost like they knew or sensed Anthony was vile and toxic and not good for PR.

The most notable person out there ranting against whitey was a convicted sex offender.

53 A murder conviction carries a maximum sentence of five to 99 years or life in prison.The verdict came just three hours after deliberations began, and Anthony now faces up to 99 years or life in prison.”

Posted by: Ann at June 09, 2026 03:43 PM

Dallas nbc tv is saying it's a minimum of 25 years with a maximum of 99 years.

There are about 100 local cops, sheriff deputies and state police all around the courthouse right now. There might be 25-30 protestors that I can see on the TV and they aren't doing anything right now.

Nope. He'll need to kill someone in there to be safe, and if they catch him for it, there he goes again.

143 A murder conviction carries a maximum sentence of five to 99 years or life in prison.The verdict came just three hours after deliberations began, and Anthony now faces up to 99 years or life in prison.

-----

20, as long as he doesn't kill again in jail.

99 years is an option.

But they'll go with the usual capital murder "life" sentence for this juvenile - 40 year parole eligibility, reduced to 20 with good time.

I didn't know this about TX until this case. In my state, a life sentenced prisoner typically serves 51 years before eligibility (or dies first).

TX needs to tighten it up.

Reality just smacked him in the face hard. It’s harsh. And again, I pray he finds Jesus, and I pray he follows Christ. There is absolutely nothing else out there to save him. The chances are greater he finds gangs and joins them, but I can pray just the same.

217 Karmelo bought into this, and now there are reports he wouldn’t listen to his attorneys - nor would his father. These stories don’t seem like much of a stretch. Reality just smacked him in the face hard. It’s harsh. And again, I pray he finds Jesus, and I pray he follows Christ. There is absolutely nothing else out there to save him. The chances are greater he finds gangs and joins them, but I can pray just the same.

When your 100% guilty and you let everyone know, it's hard to have any defense. Even the character angle was impossible b/c he was a thug.

Anthony’s Mother: “He’s my oldest, he’s my first born, he will always be my baby, i love him very much’

Defense: Does your son regret what he did?
Anthony’s Mother: Yes he’s very sorry for what he did

Punishment phase just ended after one witness. 2 questions from defense and one from the prosecution

I really don't get it.

Posted by: tcn in AK at June 09, 2026 04:07 PM

If you listen to some of the protestors in front of the court house over the last few days you would know the answer to that question. One guy was out there shouting the only good cracker is a dead one. A few others were hurling racial slurs as well but we will never see those on TV. It was ugly.

We need to remember in 2016 that a black man ambushed Dallas police and killed five of them and wounded 9 others because they were white and he was a black man avenging the killing of black men that were supposedly killed by police.

obama set race relations back 50 years in this country by his words and actions as president.

310 Speaking of aspiring rappers, I do think the rise of "gangsta rap" in the 90s led to much of this. I was young enough at that point to hear a goodly bit of if, and to me it was kind of like Clint Eastwood westerns. The idea was you shot anybody who looked at you funny so you would shoot like 5-10 people a week and somehow stay on the street. Obviously not to be taken any more seriously than living as an Eastwood cowboy. But it has become a lifestyle so you end up with people like this who think its going to be fine if they stab somebody for "dissing" them.

311 > Is it the black protester's position that no black person can ever by a murderer?

That's probably the hidden maxim, but most of them will come up with an ex post facto justification or deflection. I've seen many people claim Metcalf was wrong for trying to handle it himself. They assert he should have had a coach take care of it.

I strongly believe if he'd done that, Anthony would have stabbed the coach. The people saying Metcalf should have got a coach would be saying the coach should have called the cops, or simply let him do whatever the hell he wanted.

Oh everyone can be saved, that is the best thing about being children of our God. But not everyone wants it, and you have to want it. You have to be obedient to it. And you have to understand being saved doesn’t mean everything you did is undone, far from it. You aren’t saved from the earthly consequences, if that is the expectation, you haven’t truly accepted Christ in your heart.

I hope I never get so hardened that I lose all ability to feel mercy. I would hate being that person.

321 He was indignant, angry, belligerent, and arrogant the entire way to the verdict. The shocking entitlement and blackness of this kid's heart suggests pure sociopath.

------

Sociopathy is the outcome, not the cause, here.

I don't know if you've known any really maladjusted black racists, but this shit is sadly typical, personality-wise.

They're similar to maladjusted white racists, but they have a victim complex, and an all-black community around them that universally either supports them, or gives them a pass for their bullshit, because of their own victim complex.

So, it's not just that the whites are horrible and inferior, but to blame for all the ills of the world. It's much closer to Nazi antisemitism than most types of racism, in that regard.

And they have a consequence-free environment that frequently encourages acting out these beliefs - anger, belligerence, arrogance and entitlement are all baked in the cake.

Which is why a kid tells a cop "it's not alleged, i did it," even though it's tantamount to a guilty plea.

He doesn't get it. He thinks he's justified, and his male role model/s reinforced that belief his whole life.

karmelo anthony should be free this is a disgusting miscarriage of justice. i hope there is something done on appeal there is no WAY this is murder beyond a reasonable doubt

364 181 No doubt in my mind, nor the jurors apparently, he went there to use that knife. Posted by: Guy Mohawk

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

I think he went there to act tough, to show whitey who's in charge. Also cuz he was pissed that the preppy white kids got a tent while his school had none and it was raining... But the knife was just gonna be a threat. And when whitey called his bluff, he was over his head and it was fight over flight. That mugshot and his 'it's not alleged, he put his hands on me' reply at the scene show he's just a stupid wannabe thug who's realizing his life is effectively and justifiably over, just so he wouldn't look weak for backing down from whitey... And that's why he cried at the verdict. He's getting what he deserved. Hopefully his soul finds salvation, but I wouldn't hold my breath...

This is such an odd claim.
1. the science tells us that whites are basically the only group that is not biased and who treat all equally. On juries and in general. So by science, non-whites can not complain about this (but whites can since a non-white jury is proven to be likely biased.)

2. So are we just admitting that we are tribal, and there is a white tribe and a black tribe (and a muzzie tribe, ....) and we are not compatible in something as basic as this? Wake me when we get to the segregation and cleansing phase?

My wife was a head girls track coach for a HS team. I went to meets with her. Even most COACHES didn't go into the tent area too much. That is a private space for the athletes to relax and enjoy themselves.

They would also have a spot picked out in the shade in the stands. That area was where a lot of the athletes would have their bags and would be a little more open to visitors, but kids would hang out around the edges. Coaches would be there reminding kids where to be and monitoring the outcomes of events.

There is a particular strain of stupid that hangs their hat on a 1787 Treaty of Peace and Friendship between the US and Morocco. They have a convoluted and false basis from there to support their position they're some sort of other category of American that's largely immune to US law.

I think that, if anything, his "family" has been sabotaging his defense to keep the gravy train running. No other way to explain it that I can see. I mean, yeah, he's obviously guilty, and was rightfully convicted, but it's like his defense lawyer wasn't even trying.

"Karmelo"'s apparently dumb enough to not recognize that his family sold him out.

I also think that the woman who excreted him into the world (I won't call her a mother) should be jailed just for giving him that fucktarded name.

I've said it before: name your kid "Karmelo" or "Antwaan" and you might as well leave him as a foundling outside the nearest maximum security prison, 'cause that's where he'll be spending most of his life.

Blacks aren't the only ones guilty of this, of course... Name your daughter "Tiphanee" or "Lexxus" and you might as well buy her a mini stripper pole instead of a walker.

Somehow, this behavior is rationalized by suggesting that melanin skin content is directly related to moral terpitude and entitlement.

In a complete society unburnded by such non-sequitir rationalizations, all law abiding citizens regardless of skin shades should be celebrating this verdict. This is, especially, true for parties of the same race as the convicted in that such a response wouild display a value of right and wrong over black and white.

Neither of those positions include any emotions on my part. Both are logical and direct conclusions based upon the facts and rooted in Catholic doctrine.

439 I think that, if anything, his "family" has been sabotaging his defense to keep the gravy train running. No other way to explain it that I can see. I mean, yeah, he's obviously guilty, and was rightfully convicted, but it's like his defense lawyer wasn't even trying.

It wasn't that he wasn't trying. He had nothing, and I mean nothing to work with.

Even the supposed "friend" of Karmelo said, "nah, fam. That was murder".

I didn't expect such a fast turnaround but self defense doesn't exist for black people. I hope both families can heal and I hope maybe he doesn't get life in prison.

Explain self defense in this case. You can't. There is none. He wasn't attacked. He wasn't threatened. He was touched and responded by committing murder.

450 It must be so f--ing hard to be black in America --

- You can strive for success, but everyone will assume it was affirmative action.
- You can be the best citizen and patriot, but you know that you will forever be associated with the 13/52 statistic
- You can try to raise a good family, but your kids will be drawn to that victimhood and resentment ideology
- Send you kid to white school and they are outsiders, send them to black school and they are held down, mostly by the SEIU

And worst of all, most of the problem is coming from inside their own tent -- for other blacks trying to profit from victimhood and corruption. Man, there has to be a better solution.

459 "Karim Khan has been suspended from his prosecutorial post by the governmental oversight mechanism known as the Bureau of the ICC Assembly of States Parties (ASP)," Professor Bayefsky said.

According to her, "The wild story of the world’s lead criminal prosecutor being a criminal himself is not just about one rotten apple. Diplomatic sources have leaked the ASP Bureau's decision. Evidently, UN investigators have described the excruciating details provided by the victim, which include allegations of rape, as 'non-consensual sexual interactions.' The entire ICC machine let the process to hold Khan to account drag on for two years after his misconduct was first reported."

In addition, "ICC judges decided that Khan’s efforts to criminalize Israel’s Prime Minister Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Gallant were not tainted by the clear evidence that Khan was trying desperately to use his attack on Israelis to save himself. Khan and his media and legal teams even went so far as to suggest that the Muslim victim - who was very supportive of his arrest warrant campaign against Israelis - was working for the Mossad."

The role of the Church is to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. As Mass recently, the prayer of the faithful was "to the civil authorities, that they feed the poor."

No. By definition it is for those who do NOT deserve it. Otherwise it wouldn't be mercy.

But, mercy is not the the state's jurisdiction, except possibly the pardon power. It has nowhere to rightly exist within the judicial branch. And it should not be a part of any sentencing. The purpose of government is to enact justice.

I pray God has mercy on his soul and draws Karmello totally unto Himself. But we, as the people, need to see justice done, or there is no justice.

At Westminster in London the pink/blue haired liberals with their keffiyeh scarves antagonizing, with police protecting them, forming a human shield, from "the political right." Who are only telling them to go across the street.

Once it's dark the lid will blow.

Water cannons are in Belfast, but not allowed in London.

I like water cannons, but not against protestors in this case. We should use them in our blue cities against Antifa and it would be Pretti Good.

GiveSendGo's co-founder confirmed they held the cash until the family could explicitly clarify the use of the funds so that donors "can be confident in how their donation is being used."

The largest surge of refund demands occurred after Karmelo Anthony requested a court-appointed public defender, citing financial hardship. Backers who gave money explicitly to secure "top-tier legal representation" felt intentionally misled when the family shifted the financial burden to taxpayers while simultaneously increasing their fundraising goal to $1.4 million.

When video evidence at trial overwhelmingly disproved a 'race' narrative—showing a localized dispute over a stadium seat—many donors claimed they were manipulated into contributing.

Everyone isn't awful but some parents and other family members can be.

Thank you for the information.

I found that a person convicted of manslaughter would face exactly a range of 2 to 20 years in prison.

And, as you wrote, in Texas, if a jury finds a person guilty of 2nd-degree murder but determines the crime was committed under the immediate influence of "sudden passion," the charge is reduced to a 2nd-degree felony, carrying a punishment of 2 to 20 years.

A death and so many lives affected for the worse.

These terrible lessons need to be taken to the classrooms while the kids are still kids, imo, and as a parent. Don't coddle them or ignore them.

Note: The NFL requires all incoming recruits to complete the mandatory Rookie Transition Program (formerly the Rookie Symposium) as well as year-round orientation sessions to educate them on personal and professional responsibilities because most are not learning such responsibilities while growing up.

Former Platner Campaign Aide: Captain Nazi Is a Monster and More Women Have Come Forward

Believe all women.

Not this woman, mind you, and not the women who have come forward with new accusations against Gerald Platner.

Believe all women who concoct a Law & Order: SVU pantomime allegation about Trump raping their scrawny Crypt Keeper ass in a changing room in a year TBD. Believe that woman.

Ex-Graham Platner campaign director says embattled Maine Dem 'shouldn't be a US senator': 'My concerns have only grown'

Graham Platner's ex-political director expressed her growing concern about the embattled Maine Democrat in a Washington Post op-ed Monday, arguing that her former boss "'shouldn't be a US senator."
"I quit the campaign in October, disturbed by what I learned about the candidate and concerned about his potential impact on the Democratic Party's prospects in my home state," Genevieve McDonald wrote. "As Tuesday's primary arrives, I want to make clear what transpired since August and why my concerns have only grown."

McDonald argued that Platner "exhibits a pattern of dishonest behavior that is impossible to ignore."

"Despite being exposed by a series of scandals beginning last October, he kept assuring voters and the Democratic Party that there were no more skeletons in his closet," she continued. "Then more emerged -- the latest, in recent days, have involved former girlfriends' serious accusations of physical mistreatment."
McDonald described herself as "one of the Platner campaign's first gaslighting casualties," claiming the candidate and his campaign dismissed her concerns about his Nazi tattoo and electability.
"I was willing to believe his explanations, I wanted to believe, until his flaws as a candidate became impossible to ignore," she wrote.
McDonald said she "realized the campaign had not been honest" when reports on Platner's disturbing Reddit post history started to surface.

She claims the Platner campaign offered her "$15,000 to sign a nondisclosure agreement," after her resignation, which she refused to do so, and that "over the past eight months, women have come to me with their own disturbing stories about Platner."
"Enough is enough," McDonald wrote.
...
Platner, a Marine veteran and former oyster farmer, has faced numerous controversies since launching his campaign, including the sexting scandal and Reddit posts he made downplaying sexual assault, mocking soldiers and contending that white Americans "actually are" racist and stupid, among others.

...
McDonald urged Democrats to "demand better from those entrusted with power or seeking it."

Maine Democrats are having concerns about the Nazi-tattooed woman-beating socialist violent revolutionary, on the day of the Maine primary.

Strong work, guys. Give yourselves all a bonus.

Platner's continued drumbeat of scandals has divided both Democratic Party leaders and voters as they stare down the must-win Senate race. Defeating Republican Sen. Susan Collins in November is crucial to the party's plans to take back control of the upper chamber and provide a check on President Donald Trump. But even as Platner's staunch supporters stick with him, his political baggage is threatening to sink him with some Democratic and independent voters heading into the general election, according to interviews with nearly two dozen Maine voters.
Several Democratic voters were hesitant to weigh in on the Senate race, saying they felt Platner's candidacy was all but certain at this point and sharing their opinion on him was likely to be met with backlash. Others who were planning to vote Democratic in November are now toying with backing Collins or sitting out the Senate race entirely -- a challenge for the likely nominee and his party.
Peter and Kelly Dufour were manning the grill at a Get-Out-the-Vote event for gubernatorial candidate Hannah Pingree in Portland on Saturday and excited about the former Democratic state House speaker's candidacy for governor. Asked about the Senate race, Kelly put her head in her hands.

Wow, they're too afraid to speak out against Gerald Platner? And they claim those of us who mostly defend Trump against the mostly-absurd communist propaganda allegations against Trump are "cultists."

So we're cultists for Trump? The most successful Republican president since Reagan (and some would say before that)?

But meanwhile you're cultists for an unemployed and frankly unemployable Fake Oyster Farmer born on third base but who has oozed his way down to the non-working class, beating women and ranting on the internet 24/7?

I think I'd rather be a cultist for the guy with actual accomplishments.

TRUTH NUKE: Scott Jennings on Graham Platner: �Only one person had a Nazi tattoo and has chosen to lie about it. He roots for American military deaths. He mocks r*pe victims. He deems rural Americans. He�s been abusive to women. I mean, this is what Democrats are signing off on.� pic.twitter.com/yt48N4PJ7m
— RedWave Press (@RedWavePress) June 7, 2026

Graham Platner created the website for his Senate campaign before he created the website for his fake oyster business. The WhoIs records are indisputable.

His mom is the only customer of his oyster hobby, and judging by the number of liens, she�s had filed against her for unpaid� https://t.co/NXdx9chlxP
— Steve Robinson (@SteveRob) June 6, 2026

Richard Hanania
@RichardHanania
�
Josh Barro on Platner:
"Graham Platner doesn't work for a living. As The New York Times reports, the bulk of his income comes from a military disability pension of approximately $60,000 a year. The pension doesn't mean he's too disabled to work -- he is, after all, currently seeking the job of U.S. Senator -- but his recent non-campaign endeavors seem more like hobbies than a career. He runs an oyster farm that principally sells oysters to his mother's restaurant. He earned a small stipend as his town's harbor master: $3,000 last year. He lives in a $205,000 house that he bought with a $200,000 loan from his father."
What a resume.

Steve Robinson
@SteveRob
Graham Platner is the downwardly mobile offspring of Maine's upper class.
The people he knows working "3-4 jobs" --if any -- are like him: fake job as an oyster farmer, fake job as a harbor master, fake job at an NGO, etc.
His only real job is paramilitary training for Trantifa in Maine.

4 Way, way too late to do anything.

Maine is a big early vote state.

Platner's coasting to victory, the only question is how big of a victory.

I'd like to see him just over 50%. Enough to short-circuit the RCV in the primary, but also low enough to show that the party is really split on him.

Purely for the lulz as the establishment shifts into high gear to unite around him.

It is sort of an interesting bit of leftist psychology.

They are pretty openly in a cult and they love to throw claims back it us in these sort of cases.

But there is a second part. We like Trump because he's been successful and objectively so. The left never judges its pols by how successful they are in objective measurements - so trying to think in this way for them is like trying to get your dog to drive a car. He's seen you do it million times but its so far out of what he understands that he can't do it...

40 First poll after the Platner controversy from Tavern Research shows declining popularity, still leading the race against Susan Collins but underperforming Mills.

Interestingly and strangely absent from the tweet is Mills' favorability which is worse than Collins' or Platner's. Mills has -20 favorability.

looks worse for Collins when she can’t even beat him here. I figure she won’t go to a debate with Platner because she would look and sound like a deer in headlights

If Mills wasn’t 78 I’d be completely fine with her, but she’s seventy fucking eight.

Trump 2.0 is killing Collins. Roe V Wade, the BBB, the recent ICE funding bill and so many other instances of rubber stamping Orange Man's BS. She can't pretend to be fair and independent anymore.

If Platner gets elected he will be the 38th worst person in the chamber. I’m not thrilled it’s going to be him but at this point it’s whatever. At least he’s not a republican

If Platner was the exact same dude only he was a valueless MAGA shill, the press wouldn't waste time on him. But he blames our problems on the rich instead of on immigrants, so he gets to be the main character

60 52 Twenty quatloos the Democrats will shiv Platner a while after the primary and before the state's deadline for a party replacing a candidate. Platner will be caused to know pressure from forces beyond his control. Maybe they'll give him a decent booby prize to get him out without a fuss and to keep out of sight until December. PR problem quietly resolved, with World Cup and more Trump is a dictator news as the cover. Who the Dems run, I don't know. Gov. Mills, I suppose.

Posted by: Gref at June 09, 2026 02:49 PM (5rh/l)

======

This IS their effort to shiv him.

The problem is if they go nuclear on him (I very much don't think this is the worst against him, not by a longshot, I assume he's been proven guilty of murder while working for Blackwater or something), then the base nationally won't donate as much.

They'll breathe a sigh of relief after Collins unloads on him in July, killing his candidacy because they can't do it themselves. Then the party can distance themselves from him ("We didn't know!"), and send all the money they raised off of him to NC instead.

66 The left is worried about power.

And. Here. We. Go.

The Democratic Party isn't the Mafia. They don't hold cities hostage against their will. Sure - they rig elections - including the Presidential in 2020. And they need about 45% of the popular vote to win in places like NYC and Boston and anywhere in New Jersey and Baltimore and now Atlanta and Milwaukee and such. San Antonio will be there soon.

The "Left" is somewhere 1/3 and 2/5 of the general population. They are your neighbor. They serve on your school board. They are on your police force. Your fire department. Hell ... they coach your little league teams.

Your Neighbors crave that power. Grok that.

70 55 Again, and I may have misunderstood since it was in the background from a 'news' show.

If Platner does win, but then drops out for some mysterious reason, then the Dems in the State can apparently just go ahead and pick who they want to run.

So with enough cash or waking up next to a few dead hookers may change this guys mind and the Dems can put in someone they like more.

I think I understood that correctly though. Again, background....

Yes, if Platner chooses to drop out between tomorrow and July 13 (I think), the party gets to replace him with whomever. It's Maine state law.

But nepo baby Nazi who can't even run an oyster farm his mommy pays for and has nothing else in his life is not going to drop out. He's suddenly important.

Cheating on his wife and doing drugs aren't in and off themselves enough to get him to drop out. Hell, even being gropey and hitting on teens.

I assume the point of all this is to tell him they have evidence of something worse so he should "decide to spent time with his family" now while the getting out is good.

But...he also knows that if he is the only alternative the Dems will still support him and honestly even being a failed leftwing Senate candidate with a bunch of claims against him probably gets him an NGO job or speaking fees...

Serious question ? Then here's a serious answer. It's three things, I think.

1 - look at a picture from space. Draw that line from Baltimore to Philly to NYC to Boston. Its completely urban. A huge swath of land completely city. No room for individual rights. Its collective by nature. And every State crossed by that line ? They have to dance to the tune of that urban collective. NYC is not New York State. Much like Illinois is not Chicago.

2 - Quaker and Protestant. This really is baked into their culture. They are scolds by nature. By DNA.

3 - And this really is 1. They have existed, since the Revolution, by being subsidized. The SALT deduction floats them all on the rest of our backs. Pure and simple.

Because its not just the Left. We are seeing, in real time, a shift in paradigms. Of this I am sure.

We've shifted from "trust the Expert". As in, if your doctor says cut off a toe - you pay to cut off the toe. Being a doctor up until about '90 surely had to be a license to steal. Same for a bunch of other "credentialed" lines of work.

Then we went to "trust the cop, trust the soldier". Again, dumb. Anybody can apply, pass, and wear a uniform. But trust was placed - in a Pavlovian manner - to these authority figures.

Which all comes down to this. Society is still lurching at groups they think they can trust. Here's the Spoiler Alert - no group can be trusted. Because all groups are just Man. And Man is a greedy, shifty Son of a Bitch.

233 Remember John Kerry?

Two things come to mind:
#1 - Back then, the Swift Boat Vets had a lot of bad things to say about Kerry's actions in the military. Platner served, but where are the character witnesses who served with him? Either pro or con?

#2 - Kerry got 'wounded' multiple times; some supposedly from his own stupidity, and was able to leave Vietnam early. Now, Platner has a disability pension, a pretty large one. How was it earned? And if it was earned from his military work, then how did he continue as a mercenary (apparently with Blackwater)?

The SPLC Repeatedly Invokes the Fifth Amendment to Avoid Answering Whether They Used Donor Money to Pay "Extremists" to Put On "Hate" Marches, Burn Crosses, and Recruit New Members

I say he invoked the Fifth Amendment, which he did. But the words he kept using were "We will address those allegations in court." In other words, I will not answer questions for which I will be held criminally responsible in another court.

That's his right, but:

1, why are people allowed to invoke the Fifth without explicitly invoking the Fifth? I bet you Democrats would demand to know what basis a witness has for refusing to answer.

and,

2, he's a fucking criminal, he knows he broke the law, and this is not some kind of principled invocation of the Fifth. He's guilty and his answers would either confirm his guilty or deny it, which would be obstruction of Congress because he'd be lying.

Here's some of his repeated refusal to aswer on the basis that he will be answering these questions in criminal court.

A lot of money, and some bodily fluids, flowed from the SPLC to their "informants."

House Judiciary GOP 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
@JudiciaryGOP
🚨 A SPLC informant had a romantic relationship with a SPLC employee.
That same employee oversaw field sources.
They shared a home.
They held joint bank accounts.
And 66% of the funds in those accounts came from the SPLC.

He refuses to answer directly when asked if the SPLC advised Biden which groups to weaponize the government against. He claims he consulted with "every administration."

Really? Trump too? Smells like a lie told to Congress under oath.

SPLC Interim President squirms when asked basic yes or no question by @RepMcClintock.

This son of a bitch contributed heavily to the Assassination Prep against Charlie Kirk, which wound up with one of the SPLC's Murder-Bots killing him.

He is unapologetic and retains the SPLC's Murder Advisory against TPUSA.

CEO of the SPLC, Bryan Fair, confirms to Rep. Chip Roy that the disgraced org stands by its May 2025 decision to add TPUSA to its "Hate Map."

Badge of honor. Screw the SPLC. pic.twitter.com/6qYboVpWcw

He repeatedly refused to apologize for inciting people to murder Charlie Kirk. As Rep. Issa alludes, the SPLC put the Family Research Council on their Hate Map sixteen years ago, and a leftist assassin shot up the place.

SPLC President gets humiliated; room erupts in laughter.

Chip Roy: How many Islamic extremist groups do you have listed on your hate map out of the 1500 groups? I can�t seem to find one.

Again, why are witnesses allowed to take the Fifth in a Congressional hearing? It's not a criminal court. When they're subpoenaed, they should be obligated to cough up the facts.

Yes, they can be referred to the DOJ based on their testimony, but that's a different branch, different venue.

Yep. SPLC is probably finished as even Fidelity has cut them off from donor directed gifts. Which also makes it harder for Ossof and the Dems cheat machine in Fulton as the SPLC, ACLU, and Fulton County election officials are as intertwined as can be there with the SPLC and ACLU being given the job of supplying poll workers through the likes of Stacy Abrams and even having real time access to state voter registration databases and incoming early and absentee voting tallies. Plus the notorious adjudication crap in the backrooms where supervisors can insert fictious ballots in the name of someone, even to the point of activating and deactivating an inactive voter. They can also change existing votes but at the risk of the paper ballot trail--but they can destroy the original and print a new copy using the Dominion software.

======
He got forced out years ago for Me Tooism and the organization picked up and moved to Atlanta for the most part. Basically the Blacks were tired of Whitey Dees running the grift and forced him out in part because Dees was milking the organization and stashing funds out of the country.

Dees ran it as a grifting business more than as a political one targeting a certain demographic of Northerners for funds.

Mobsters tried it, you can't avoid it if Congress is willing to subpoena and enforce it. And the Trump DoJ is certainly willing to do that.

The House alone can bring the whole thing down.

Refuse to pass a budget, or pass something like a 1914 budget, and then refuse anything else.

Not a thing that the Senate or the Presidency can do to counter it within the legal, political sphere.

But that doesn't happen because the House doesn't want it to be that way. Whatever reason it is (inertia, laziness, IC corruption, all of the above), Congress could be real powerful if it chose to be. It just chooses not to be.

So, the executive is left with all the levers of power, and our side hasn't had access to those levers since the 80s.

Yep. This has been coming for a while. I think ... I'm pretty sure ... US Military Doctrine is fundamentally fucked for a bit.

We got into the idea of the Abrams and Apache and such because we were truly outnumbered against the Soviets. So we had to have super-weapons. Stuff that - regardless of cost - could pull of 10/1 kill ratios. Because that was our only chance against the Red Menace.

Well. Now the game has changed. Because the cost to bring one of our super-weapons down is much, much cheaper than our cost of building one.

Actually, I do. There are some very good technical people from the USSR days who ended up in Ukraine, along with their skills and their weapons factories. I remember a very interesting piece on their tech written about a year and a half ago, detailing how the Ukrainians had set up an information pipeline from the frontlines to the tech developers as to effectiveness and requirements. And that while most field recommendations take years before it translates into a new design, the Ukrainians had set up a system where field recommendation to design change happened on a 2 week timeframe.

they're on something like their 20th generation of drone tech already, which could never have happened without the pressure of being in a war that you're almost losing.

203 > AH-64 Apache....
AU.S. Navy uncrewed surface vessel (USV) found and rescued the crew of a U.S. Army Apache that went down overnight near the Strait of Hormuz, in the Gulf of Oman. This is the first known use of a drone boat executing a personnel recovery action as part of a military search and rescue operation, and it’s likely a glimpse of what’s to come. The cause of the incident is otherwise under investigation.
------------
A U.S. official told Axios an investigation “determined that an Iranian drone hit the helicopter, causing it to crash. The U.S. official said the investigation had not determined whether that was intentional.”
========
Using a slow flying drone on a helicopter would be about the only flying target it could hit. If it was intentional. The Apache's have been known to shoot down a variety of IRGC drones, but it is considered very risky to do so because of the potential for an air-to-air collision.

The only interesting part of the Ukraine war is the tech development, since drone tech has had about 100 years of advancement in the last 4, thanks to that battlefield. You're correct, high value weapons are now extremely vulnerable to low cost attacks, and although there will be countermeasures eventually, what they will be is not apparent yet.

Posted by: Tom Servo at June 09, 2026 02:05 PM (edUvp)

If you dig deep enough into old articles on The War Zone site, you'll learn that the Iranian/Russian Shahed drone is a copy of a long-ago German-designed anti-radar site drone design that was shared with the US. Also you'll learn that a few years before Putin invaded, the US was training Ukrainian Army drone operators.

The US didn't have the need the Ukrainans, Iranians, and Russians had to turn to large-scale use of cheap drones as weapons. Until recently.

Necessity is the mother of invention. Anti-drone measures are the new necessity, as Tom noted.

we discussed that last thread, that's a gross misrepresentation of what is actually just a standard jury instruction in a case like this. He said that IF the jury wants to convict for the offense of manslaughter instead of murder, they are allowed to. It's up to the jury, not the judge.

For better or worse, Trump is laser focused on the nuclear material retrieval and is not willing to go much beyond that. Regime overthrow internally is simply not going to happen in the short run but without nuclear potential, Iranian threats can be contained even by the other Arab countries with the US as a backstop.

Israel's calculus is a bit different, they want to take out as much of their enemies that are directly adjacent to them as they can before peace/binding ceasefire arrives in one form or another. Even if we leave with the nuke materials, Israel knows it will still be a target absent the IRGC being totally overthrown.

That is the conflict and anyone dreaming of US forces putting boots on the ground to overthrow the IRGC is smoking crack. Trump nor the American people favor that period nor is our army set up for it. Putting US troops in kill boxes like Kharg Island etc. is also a no go as eventually some people are going to get killed even by simple old rockets, etc.

Destroying Iran's oil facilities/bridges etc. is what Trump has as leverage which is why he is playing it cool.

Frankly, M'Naughton's rule has been destroyed by technology today and the fact that forced medication can alleviate some of these people's insanity but when released, they inevitably, quit their medication and resume their street life criminal behavior.

Incapacitating those unable to restrain themselves from violent criminal behavior is a key requisite of law and not doing so by opening the doors to the asylums has killed/maimed a lot of innocent people including other street people.

Locking them up for good is probably the best bet but the humane part is making sure it is a mental health facility where treatment is made rather than untrained personnel in prison trying to do it.

278 I of course don't have any idea what Karmelo's sentence will be if he's convicted, but I'll note that the average murder conviction in Texas generally falls into the 15 - 25 year range. Life for the spectacularly bad ones, Death Penalty is generally reserved for the murder of children, police officers, and pregnant women.

He is a juvenile and due to Justice Kennedy's horrendous CJ decisions where he was the deciding vote (like invalidating Louisiana's death penalty for child rapists, and forestalling capital punishment, then even life in prison for underage criminals) cannot be locked up in prison without a chance for release. Anyone under 18 cannot be locked up in prison without a chance of parole/release (retroactive actually) nor put to death no matter how awful the crimes they commit are. That is the mess that Scotus has done to criminal law recently and thank god Kennedy is off the court.

He is the sort that within a year of any release, he will be back in prison for some other violent crime.

Same as Iryni's killer did. Progression of violent crimes that eventually killed someone.

And I guarantee you once the trial is over, all the past warning flags of Karmelo's past are going to come out for sentencing. Not considered relevant for trial but I suspect a long chain of uncharged or hidden juvie records sudden pop up.

Murderers by and large don't snap--that is the conceit of movies and tv. In reality, they apprentice themselves to the criminal lifestyle until ready for the big dirty deed. Some never become violent, just career burglars, sneak thieves, shoplifters, car boosters, etc.

Others, particularly the stupid ones, like to be street thug ganstas with violent crimes as that is the only way they feel they can get 'respect' is by being feared.

298 It's a problem. The obvious answer is to hang everyone like Special K.

But in this country, at this time, I can't support the death penalty. Not with these criminals running the place.

So the obvious fallback is life-in-prison, but then you have states like Texas, where it's realistically a 20 sentence, even for a 17 year old.

So, off he'll scamper as an old duffer in his mid-thirties.

MAID as far as Canada runs it, goes after the innocent who are depressed which rarely results in violence. Those with mental illness that do commit violent crimes would be the last to volunteer to die in most cases. Most of those achieve that via suicide by cop or spree killings and then unaliving themselves. The dregs left are often the ones that cling to this world that they will leave claw marks on the floor screaming as they are dragged off to Hell.

Welp, MS security is so good that GitHub, which they now own, got infected with a worm across different projects on it which caused Azure to have to shut down to eliminate it.

Microsoft is a dying relic of a company like Adobe is that is now intent on milking every single bit of profit before rolling over and corporate death occurring. I think both of them think AI is going to do in their markets and so they will try to keep those subscriptions of kept customers and milk them for as long as they can.

I think Apple is a better long term bet than MS quite frankly and if you noticed just recently the eternal MS Office license for the Mac 2019 was just terminated by Microsoft to reduced functionality. So people buying the perpetual license in 2019 find that Microsoft is revoking it in 2026 to force them into the subscription model for Office.

I think more people might do that except Linux itself is a mess for people that just want to turn on a computer and have it work perfectly. A huge number of choices often end up in analysis paralysis. And you have to be careful what to pick for peripherals to work well with Linux which most people have no idea how to do so.

Linux still has a problem with drivers and its compatibility with MS Office is just enough off that it can create problems. For the unsophisticated, I think Apple Macs are the better bet despite being expensive and Crapple using their gated garden techniques to make everything much more expensive than it needs to be.

For better or worse, Apple still makes its money as a hardware company rather than software which means forcing upgraded hardware at some point. Linux lets you use even back to 486/386 or earlier machines that really still function but are technologically antique.

Linux is just now getting rid of kernal inclusion and updates for these 25-30 year old machines. But as a result, Linux is still mainly for geeks .

313 Asked AI Overview the following -

SPLC gave data to what administrations for consideration?

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has historically provided research, intelligence, and data on domestic extremist and hate groups to multiple local, state, and federal law enforcement and government agencies, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Specifically, the extent and target of this data sharing has been heavily scrutinized by different presidential administrations:

The Biden-Harris Administration (2021–2025): The SPLC reportedly worked closely with the Department of Justice (DOJ) during the Biden administration. Records have indicated that the DOJ's Civil Rights Division partnered with the SPLC, holding regular meetings, providing the organization with access to certain federal law enforcement data, and allowing SPLC employees to train DOJ prosecutors.

The Trump Administration: The SPLC's data-sharing relationships with the federal government were severed or faced intense opposition during the Trump administration.

Then asked: What about all other prior administrations going back 55 years?

314 "Going back 55 years to its founding in 1971, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) maintained extensive data-sharing and collaborative relationships with federal law enforcement during Democratic administrations, while facing stark friction, severed ties, or active opposition under Republican administrations.

According to SPLC legal filings and federal indictments, the group's "Klanwatch" (later renamed the Intelligence Project) began a secret program in the 1980s that paid field informants to infiltrate violent extremist groups. The data gathered from this project was fed into federal channels across several eras:" ((It went through the administrations & ended with:

The deep-seated integration established during the Clinton and Obama years directly set the stage for the political whiplash that followed. Increased conservative backlash led the FBI to slowly distance its public-facing material from the SPLC. This culminates in the ongoing legal battles, where the SPLC's defense hinges on the fact that federal law enforcement across multiple decades - including the FBI - was fully aware of and benefited from the group's undercover informant data to secure criminal convictions.
