I was born to Noir. Here's mine:
I'd been quiet for three miles. Too quiet. The kind of quiet that means a person is either building a bomb or fixing to blow their own cover. Then I spilled it. The words came out fast, tripping over each other like a suspect catching a glimpse of the rubber hose. No preamble. Just raw nerve and a question hanging in the stale air of the sedan. I didn't blink. I just reached into my coat pocket, pulled out a pack of Luckies, and waited for the smoke to clear before I gave you the straight dope. "You want to stop for some hooch?" "Honey, I don't swing that way." Posted by: Orson at November 06, 2026 10:16 PM (dIske) 22

Great ONT, Dave!
I explain knitting patterns to people as code, but with more variations, so not binary. Charted patterns use a series of symbols for the different stitches in each row. They can be very complex, as in lace knitting. Written patterns use abbreviations for the stitches: K, P, K2tog, YO, sl1, etc. in combinations to form the pattern. Same goes for crochet...

The California Dream dimmed considerably for me after the great grocery strike of 2003-4. The workers believed the union leadership and struck Safeway (Vons), Kroger (Ralphs) and Albertsons primarily over employer paid healthcare. At a time when everyone else routinely contributed to an employer-sponsored plan, these yahoos thought they could continue with the free ride they had been enjoying up til then.
I honored the line for a few weeks, hoping an adult would finally step in and explain reality and get everyone back to work ahead of Thanksgiving. Nope. Christmas? Sorry. Walked into the local Albertsons to find the butcher shop dark and partitioned off. The produce - California Fresh! was pitiful. Started to do most of my shopping at Trader Joes and a few independents. Everyone else did the same. I remember sitting out at my local Coffee Bean and I recognized an Albertsons cashier walking the picket line and looking pretty defeated. Young guy, with a family. When the strike ended, about five or six months after it started, I never saw him again... Posted by: Joe Kidd at November 06, 2026 10:54 PM (08OqX) 118

AK used to be Safeway and Carrs, exclusively. Carrs was local, and there is still the Carr-Gottstein Corporation outside of the grocery business. Carrs is the high end grocery, with really good produce and prices to match. Most of what you need you can get at Freddie's, cheaper, but not always the same quality. Costco is in Anchorage, and some folks drive in a load up a month's worth, usually if they have a lot of kids. Then there is Three Bears, which is our local out here, and it is kind of a stepped down Costco. They carry a fair bit of the stuff Costco has, plus their own groceries, some really good spices and spice mixes, and a gun counter where you can get just about anything plus ammo. Some camping stuff, some car stuff, lots of animal feed, particularly for small farming, and great local beef and other meat items. It's a bit more pricey, but the drive is about 15 minutes vs. half an hour to Wasilla or an hour to Costco in Anchorage, so it pays for itself. Freddie's, Costco and Three Bears also has gas. But Three Bears is our vibe.

She had legs like a millipede. The kind you just knew would hold you in down while her mandibles sunk into your face, the hard carapace of her trunk segments rendering her immune to your feeble blows. It was then that I realized, almost too late, that she was in fact a giant millipede. No face, no case, doll. My .38 rang out several times, and I bolted down the fire escape just behind my fleeing sanity, knowing I had definitely picked the wrong week to stop shooting morphine into my eyeballs.

Mexico would not be Mexico had there not been Cortez. The Aztec Empire would have eventually fallen to General Pershing.
--- Do you think they would have lasted all the way to the 1900s??? The absolute latest they could have made it would have been the early 1800's where Andrew Jackson would have eliminated them.

I’ve been noting how upset by this many friends are, and I do sympathize with all of them. But as to myself, I keep thinking of a scene from The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, a 2018 Coen Bros movie. In this scene (and it makes sense in the context of the film) James Franco plays a criminal who’s standing on the gallows with a rope around his neck, about to be hung. Another criminal, a younger man is to be hung with him, and he’s sniffling and crying a little.
Franco looks over at him, grins a bit and says “First time, eh?” That’s pretty much how I’ve been feeling about it. Posted by: Tom Servo at November 06, 2026 07:59 PM (oH6g4) Posted by: Anonosaurus Wrecks, Now Is the Winter of Our Discontent at November 06, 2026 08:00 PM (ndZc7) 36

That’s pretty much how I’ve been feeling about it. Posted by: Tom Servo While extremely disappointed, I'm actually surprised how (relatively) unbothered I am. I was way more upset at the 2020 results, but it all worked out for the best, as Trump 2.0 has been MUCH better than a continuation of 1.0 would have been. We've survived (and ignored) Dem congresses before, and the Republicans in congress weren't doing much. I'm a little more upset we lost so many state governors, as that will have more significant ramifications. Still, the economy is actually doing well, Trump will keep deporting, and the Iran war has to wrap up before 2028, so I think we'll be in a good position for that election. Dems will infight, squabble, overreach and terrify the electorate, while Trump's seeds will hopefully be bearing fruit. We win the presidency in 2028, oversee the census...might do well.

34 I’ve been noting how upset by this many friends are, and I do sympathize with all of them. But as to myself, I keep thinking of a scene from The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, a 2018 Coen Bros movie. In this scene (and it makes sense in the context of the film) James Franco plays a criminal who’s standing on the gallows with a rope around his neck, about to be hung. Another criminal, a younger man is to be hung with him, and he’s sniffling and crying a little.
Franco looks over at him, grins a bit and says “First time, eh?” That’s pretty much how I’ve been feeling about it. Posted by: Tom Servo at November 06, 2026 07:59 PM Thanks, Tom, needing a laugh. I had forgotten this movie. Posted by: Eromero at November 06, 2026 08:12 PM (LHPAg) 50

So I've been saying since the DSA psy op appeared in June that things were going to get very weird. And that we were being set up with a phony war between the DNC and DSA.
Equally I have observed all year that we were being set up by the Left for needing a (previously scheduled) masculine manly man for president in 2028, and that it was over for women. So, laugh at me and feel free to bookmark this or whatever, but at the moment I will say that it is looking to these eyes like we have been set up - for President El Sayed.

The lesson learned this week was that the Dems muffed it in 2016 and 2024, and decided this year they were going to go all out in the cheat. And they will do so going forward no matter what the nominees think (2016 "I wont have my victory tainted by any hint of cheating") (2024 "I have all the celebrities!"). The destruction of America is too important to be left to whims.
I would suggest that that the GOP change their animal from an elephant to a scorpion. Much more appropriate. Sorry, I know this is supposed to be the "light" post. I just can't seem to care anymore. Posted by: BeckoningChasm at November 06, 2026 09:03 PM (CHHv1) 86

Thanks, Ace.
Great ONT. All of it. Enjoyed Thelma and Louise. Elder son's first rescue (ath pit mix), Emma, died from a porcupine in the mountain backyard of his brother's. Horrific. She fought til the end and the vet tried to save her. Lungs kept collapsing from the quills moving in her bloodstream (I had no idea). Their first baby. Now they have a GIANT white dog they thought was a lab rescue. Mostly husky without curly tail. I think Moose stands almost 6'. Sweet Mason reminded me of our Shelby in looks. English Golden's have wider heads. Shelby's mane touched the ground before grooming. Gorgeous boy. Bailey, son's first Golden, Bailey, babysat but was not as good as Lucy. DIL was showering once and had the baby asleep on a blanket in the doorway of bedroom and bath. She has a photo of Bailey looking at her irritated, like, "Well, you weren't going to watch him, so I am." Their Goldens are so good with kids. Baby grandgirl grabs fist fulls of fur and Penny doesn't care...and she's the most hyper of our Golden's. Great with kids. Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at November 06, 2026 09:11 PM (hzuYO) 99

It may be a record for me, but I will probably see two movies in a month. Today, spouse and I saw a film based on Jimmy Stewart's time as a bomber pilot in WWIi , his dealing with the psychological trauma from that and his playing in "It's a wonderful life". I highly recommend it.
Later this month , "I play Rocky" is coming out ,based on Sylvester Stallone's attempt to get the film made and to star in it. "Rocky " was a fine film and apparently this is a really fine one too. Here's a rather long review, but a good one from "National Catholic Register" It stresses the themes of faith and resiliency.

Love Gerry Rafferty! The song after it is dedicated to my bf/husband.
Eldest son is a professional saxophone player. In 9th grade he was first chair, beating out others in the 2k HS. Good looking guy. Through sons we learned a lot of music, jazz, and orchestra. Imagine my horror and cringe when HS girls were almost screaming during his solos that first concert. Like he was a Beatle. I wanted to die or something. He played through college, and in a jazz/fusion band in Gainesville with more girls swooning. First degree a jazz something with a goal to play in the pit in NYC Broadway plays. We hoped he would not be busking in subways. Was recruited by Glenn Miller for Japan. He did go on a Broadway musical tour of Ray Charles. Got that traveling out of the way and got another degree in music education along with the jazz. Taught HS band/jazz at two huge FL high schools for almost a decade. Now a systems engineer as he started with pre-med. It was worth it, I tell him (now), to have both worlds. He put us through a bit of angst and flushed money down the toilet, but he lived and is now married and doing well. We pray for a baby for them as they want this badly.

I've been on Baker Street in London. I never experienced the events of the song, thankfully. Everytime I went past the subway stop or walked around there, that song got stuck in my head.

The songs I wish I had played loud to my bf/dude in his 3 breakups in one year, but I was too busy living with/without/with him in my life.
At 22yrs I wasn't thinking of the future. My roommates and school friends and I had big plans once we graduated. We were going as a group to work here for awhile with US licenses, then go to London to work, and see Europe via Europass together. He was not pleased to learn this once he got serious my last semester as he was starting back to college. 1st: "You're No Good" with Linda Ronstadt. I wish I had belted this one out. 2nd song he did hear as my roommate (better singer than me) and I sang at a kegger: "What's On Your Mind" by Kansas. To an audience and he heard the lyrics loud and clear. 3rd, and he knows it now: "Right Down the Line" by Gerry Rafferty: https://tinyurl.com/5cn6evjz I married a dummkoph three years later, who'd gotten it out of his system. Dated one other girl at one point, and my brother's sister-in-law questioned him why after a party when he could have had moi. I had to laugh when she told me this years later.

---- Christy, the Linda Ronstadt version is so, so good. But if you haven't heard the Van Halen version in the last 20 years, you should give it another listen. NOT because its "better", just because its awesome in its own right! This is just one example of why American music is so epic--there's TWO great takes on the same song!

I married a dummkoph three years later, who'd gotten it out of his system. Dated one other girl at one point, and my brother's sister-in-law questioned him why after a party when he could have had moi. I had to laugh when she told me this years later.

It's provably true -- the Boomers were such a big generation that the media continued to push Boomer-era bands and Boomer-era bullshit (hippie liberalism, Woodstock) even when we became adults. We all naively believed that when we became adults the culture would reflect our preferences, but no, it was all Boomer Crap all the time. Until the Millennials came of age -- and then the culture shifted from Boomer-dominated to Millennial-dominated. Not a day of Gen X dominated. ...Unrelated: Unexpectedly, October's job creation numbers smashed expectations. Wages went up, too. Total nonfarm payroll employment rose by 165,000 in October, and the unemployment rate changed little at 4.1 percent, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Employment increased in professional and business services, in health care, and in transportation and warehousing. ... In October, average hourly earnings for all employees on private nonfarm payrolls increased by 14 cents, or 0.4 percent, to $38.00. Over the past 12 months, average hourly earnings have increased by 3.1 percent. In October, average hourly earnings of private-sector production and nonsupervisory employees rose by 12 cents, or 0.4 percent, to $32.75.

Belt to ass and dipshit, wonder how old these two are:
------------------ St. Louis Park Mayor Nadia Mohamed celebrated the results of Tuesday’s election with a social media post on TikTok declaring that “America has spoken” and using the phrase “belt to ass.” “America has spoken! We want belt to ass!!! So start your engines!! #election,” Mohamed wrote in the caption of the video. The video shows Mohamed celebrating in front of the Minnesota State Capitol while text across the screen reads, “When a blue wave hits!” Mohamed was elected mayor in 2023 after previously serving on the St. Louis Park City Council. ------------- Congressman-elect Matt Little also used profane language while addressing supporters at the DFL election watch party in downtown St. Paul after winning Minnesota’s Second Congressional District. “I think it’s pretty clear America is sending a message,” Little said. “The first message they sent is that Pete Hegseth is a dipshit. The second message they sent is that JD Vance is a dipshit. The third and final message they sent is that Donald Trump is a dipshit.” Posted by: beckster at November 06, 2026 06:50 PM (kX27y) 18

An organization founded to create Black excellence about 90 years ago. Membership is through the mothers, although kids participate like 100%. it's all about getting educational and future professional opportunities for the kids. Friend of mine knows it from the inside.

Eromero speaks wisdom.
Technically I'm a very late boomer I suppose. And I share about 7% of the stereotypical traits (some mentioned in the post) of so-called boomers. Would never occur to me to tell someone "get a job at the factory". Huh? Umm I lived through the major de-industrialization of the US, know it well, have always focused on economics though it's never been my job. Sadly I know quite a few in my cohort who are just as ignorant, or driven by resentment or envy, as is easily seen in younger segments. People whose "politics" haven't changed since they were 17 - and these are pretty lazy uninformed politics. Life experience and work experience hasn't given them any wisdom at all, it appears.

Young people yearn for the 1980s that they have heard so much about, but they don't seem to understand that most of what is different between now and then is an attitude. A way of looking at things and people.
They want what we have, but they don't want to make the decisions that they have to make to get it. I'm really not sure how to say this right. I guess I'm saying people say "decline is a choice," but it's not just one choice, it's ongoing choices made every day. Watching it is like having a friend that wants a good family life like mine, but keeps making the same destructive life choices over and over again that keep them miserable.

Thank you, Generation X (I had to look it up, being in the middle of Boomers, sired by The Greatest Generation and a bit tipsy on my 2nd glass of wine).
Hold firm. Our sons are Millennial's, conservative Christians, raised right by their crazy parents who shed their hippie ways before their births. They have had good to great education and degrees, great jobs, beautiful and successful wives who also work and one balances 3 kids, gorgeous grandchildren with the hope for more who will someday vote similar. I am unsure what their generation will be named but they embrace God and family at young ages and in private Catholic school. They love God, family and country as we instill this in them. I thank God for those of all colors holding on in 2026. I don't care what your hair color or piercings if you voted the right way for America.

The Boomers were raised by the Greatest Generation. The Greatest put in all of the government programs that we are fighting against today. They invented the UN, NATO, World Bank, IMF and all of the other international institutions we've been watching take more and more control over eight decades because that generation, and their parents, had fought a bloody war and wanted a better life for their children. They had no clue that so many of their children would be brainwashed, indoctrinated and turned into socialists by the time they got to college. Then hundreds of thousands of them got sent off to Vietnam. That was the 60s and 70s and it only got worse from there. To blame the Boomers for the way they were raised and for things that occurred that were beyond their control is ridiculous. The Boomers just so happened to be born at and grew up during a post-war boom that lasted for twenty years and made America the most powerful country in the world. Stop blaming old people for your own problems. Posted by: SpeakingOf at November 06, 2026 07:10 PM (6ydKt) 69

Unshackling US energy production resulting in greatest output in history? Initiating process of repatriating manufacturing industry to the US? Again, starting a climb in real wages for the middle/lower tiers - for the second time, he did it already in Term 1 prior to The Great Idiocy? Cutting government for the first time in 4 decades? Beginning to uncover and correct the massive, massive fraud ongoing against taxpayers in welfare programs? Building a ballroom (free to taxpayers) of the sort that's been a highly desired and overdue project for 3 or 4 presidents? Removing a hostile and dangerous and vile regime in Venezuela with one special forces operation? And the list goes on. Wonder which particular thing made so many voters so furious?

Cost of living. I guess people expect a return to 2019 prices, or something. Of course not the way it works. The hidden zinger here, which does blame Trump for much of the inflation, I never say.

For those knocking Boomers, and I don't care:
We were poor when we bought our first house under Reagan in 1985 at 12.45% interest rates. Saving money on one income (well, I worked as a nurse 1 day/week) for five years after we married. Two houses later we are doing very well. Without any help from anyone. We ate Hamburger Helper and other stuff we cooked at home. Going out to dinner was reserved for a birthday or our wedding anniversary poor. Starbucks did not exist then. Taco Bell or McDonald's was a treat. It was rare to spend money on anything but rent or food. I was wearing college sweaters during my first pregnancy 2yrs later. So, shut thy pie hole at 7.18% interest rates for a 30yr mortgage with a downpayment you saved for. We had it worse with two kids to raise. We didn't complain and had a great life.

Posted by: JM in Illinois at November 06, 2026 09:22 PM (PKL0q) Trump vs. the BureaucracyTrump is the first president in living memory to actually cut the federal work force. Reagan tried. Reagan failed. Trump actually delivered. He also worked assiduously to make the President the boss of his underling bureaucrats, instead of the bureaucrats being the President's boss. What a concept. The boss sets policy and tells the subordinate paper-pushers what to do? That's a #ThreatToDemocracy. Ben Weingarten: Of course, the Democrats want to undo all this. They want to rehire all the unneeded clock-watching do-nothings and of course all the unqualified DEI make-work check-cashers and they want to pour American tax dollars into US AID and all the other corrupt communist NGOs. "We have a massive reconstruction task ahead of us," Rep. Jamie Raskin, the ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, has warned. "We will have to go department by department, subject by subject, and public purpose by public purpose to determine what we salvage and what we re-create." Although Democrats will control both chambers of Congress next year, the center of gravity of their resistance will likely continue to be in the courthouses where they have challenged the president's agenda, alleging unconstitutional overreach and procedural ham-handedness. Through hundreds of lawsuits, many still pending, they have opposed everything from firing employees and eliminating offices to withholding appropriated funds. Legal scholars say these battles over the scope and contours of presidential authority and the Constitution's separation of powers between the executive and legislative branches may have significant long-term ramifications. They also note that litigation moves slowly; many cases are not likely to be resolved until Trump leaves office. As a practical matter, often buoyed by a Supreme Court that has blocked lower court injunctions thwarting Trump's orders, the president has meaningfully reshaped the bureaucracy.... Shrinking the workforce From the start of his second term, President Trump vowed to "dramatically reduce the size of the Federal Government, while increasing its accountability to the American people." Through a series of executive orders, he froze federal hiring across most agencies, directed the Department of Government Efficiency to help cut the federal workforce through deferred resignation programs and reductions in force (RIFs), and required agencies to hire no more than one employee for every four departing employees. During its first year, the administration has shrunk the workforce by 220,000 to 250,000 workers -- a 10% decline. The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a critic of the cuts, described them as "the largest one-year reduction in the federal workforce in over 75 years, dating back to the demobilization following World War II." The decline has not been evenly distributed. The Center's analysis indicates that Trump has targeted executive branch departments whose work he questions. These include the Department of Education (down 39%), the State Department and associated agencies (down 37%), and the Department of Housing and Urban Development (down 23%). His policies have also sparked mass exoduses from specific areas like the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division. Conservatives have long considered the division a bastion of progressive activism. Up to 80% of its staff reportedly left. The administration has replaced those 300 departing employees with 130 hires of its own. The workforce continued to decline modestly in 2026. In all, about one in five federal workers has left through resignation, retirement, or dismissal during Trump's second term -- though about half that number has been replaced. At roughly 2.7 million employees, the federal workforce has fallen to its lowest level since 1966.Read the whole thing. We're down, but we did a lot of damage. We have to pick ourselves up from the floor, knock the dust off our shoulders, and defend our achievements.

Trump is the first president in living memory to actually cut the federal work force.
=== ace, I am about to shock you, but Carter was the last one: "Jimmy Carter reduced the size of the federal workforce by cutting more than 20,000 permanent positions and aimed to lower the government's share of national spending from 23% to 21% by 1981."

I'd love to know when the Right is going to stop trying to fight like it's still the 1950s.
The Left is a generation or two ahead of us in organizing. They have layers upon layers of organizing infrastructure, and they put it to amazing use. Cut off the taxpayer money? Whoosh! It flows through other channels. This is no longer a war of ideas, and idiotic mail in voting is here to stay, thanks to the GOPe Senate. So it's time to stop thinking inside the old box, and get these guys with big bucks to fund some real organizing infrastructure, and do our own ballot harvesting. And get boots on the ground for turning out our vote. The votes are there. I think the polls were right, but for the wrong reasons. The non response rate from Trump voters was the gauge of enthusiasm, which wasn't there on our side. Posted by: McLurkerson at November 06, 2026 05:46 PM (AZDyS) 13

They lie about everything, including your beliefs and theirs -- even including their fake opposition to the beliefs they falsely attributed to you! It's postmodern subversion IRL. For example, they don't actually oppose white supremacy. They refuse to criticize Arab supremacists, who are white and the second-biggest ethnicity on Earth. (Han are the biggest by far, and they would also never criticize Han supremacy.) They also don't actually oppose nationalism. They don't even oppose religious nationalism.

Posted by: runner --------- Carter was a businessman, and had some understanding of economics and waste. It's a shame he was such a weak stupid ass. He deregulated (airlines, small brewers, ...) because he understood the cost of regulation to farmers. He understood we were up against the wall with the country hurting but Gov. and their workers still living large, so he cut. I think his greatest PR mistake is he cut the free lunches and fancy servings to press gatherings, and the media ***absolutely hated him*** for that. They got cold sandwiches, went to their typewriters and slaughtered him because they wanted their fucking caviar. In all, Carter was one of the top three post reconstruction Democrat Presidents. Bad as he was and all the damage he did. Posted by: bob (moron inbobnitus) at November 06, 2026 05:55 PM (Q3K6n) 38

63 Interesting thing I just saw on X: in most states, the Republican got 85% of Trump's 2024 total, and the Democrat got what Kamala got + 15%. The math holds up across both red and blue states. It's weirdly perfect everywhere.
Posted by: Ian S. at November 06, 2026 06:03 PM (noPDf) —— Not sure what stats those X posts are looking at, but Trump got 77 million votes in 2024. We got only 55 million on Tuesday. That’s way way less than 85%. Kamala got 75 million in 2024. Dems got 70 million this time. Thats not an increase at all, that’s a decline. Lotsa ops and misinformation campaigns out there. Be very wary. The actual voting data is out there. Double check everything.

Posted by: Huck Follywood There had been a very heavily funded foreign demoralization campaign against Trump, and it has been incredibly effective. Weak, cucked GOPers didn't help (or, perhaps they did?). Hegseth is a target for many reasons. China wants a weak, ineffective US military....Hegseth interferes. Republicans especially, and normies mostly, like the military...to demoralize them and reduce their turnout, lie and say the military is weaker, Hegseth is incompetent and corrupt, we're losing the war with Iran (?!?!)...and if it's repeated enough without counter, enough morons will believe it. Plus, we kill Muslims, help Israel, and banned trannies from serving, so automatic super-Hitler to motivate the Dem base. Finally, MANY senior officers are Lefties. They worked their way up through Biden, didn't expect Trump would get reelected, and hate Trump. They'll sabotage what they can and hope to survive to 2029 and a Dem president.

I'd argue they hated W more than Cheney, and they didn't really turn on HW until he was President.
------- I think they cut some slack for more obviously Uniparty politicians. Whoever and whenever the next Republican president is, the MSM will yammer nonstop about why he's so awful and ask why can't he be a Reasonable Republican like Trump was.

Foul mouthed MN Dems:
St. Louis Park Mayor Nadia Mohamed celebrated the results of Tuesday’s election with a social media post on TikTok declaring that “America has spoken” and using the phrase “belt to ass.” “America has spoken! We want belt to ass!!! So start your engines!! #election,” Mohamed wrote in the caption of the video. The video shows Mohamed celebrating in front of the Minnesota State Capitol while text across the screen reads, “When a blue wave hits!” Mohamed was elected mayor in 2023 after previously serving on the St. Louis Park City Council. ------------- Congressman-elect Matt Little also used profane language while addressing supporters at the DFL election watch party in downtown St. Paul after winning Minnesota’s Second Congressional District. “I think it’s pretty clear America is sending a message,” Little said. “The first message they sent is that Pete Hegseth is a dipshit. The second message they sent is that JD Vance is a dipshit. The third and final message they sent is that Donald Trump is a dipshit.” Posted by: beckster at November 06, 2026 06:46 PM (kX27y) 174

Well, I guess they're all done lying about this never happening now. ![]() A teenage girl who was raped by a trans-identified male former police officer in Germany faced questioning from his lawyer after "accidentally misgendering" him in court. The disturbing new detail emerges just weeks after Maja Schmid, a 55-year-old former federal officer from Rosenheim, was sentenced for the heinous crime. As previously reported by Reduxx, Schmid was sentenced to three years and three months at the Traunstein Regional Court earlier in October after a three day trial. Schmid was found guilty of raping the girl when she was just 15 years old. He was also found guilty of possessing child sexual abuse materials. During the trial, it was learned that the crime occurred in August of 2025 during a roadtrip between Schmid and the young girl, who was the daughter of one of Schmid's friends. After stopping at a roadside restaurant, Schmid approached the girl in the women's toilets, pushed her against a wall, and raped her. According to reports, the teenage victim was in shock after the assault, unable to respond until Schmid left the area, at which point the girl had a "serious anxiety attack" in the bathroom. It was also learned that at the time of the assault, Schmid was already under investigation by cybercrime specialists for possessing extreme pornography on his phone. After seizing his devices during the course of the investigation, police found thousands of child sex abuse images, some of which depicting toddlers, along with a video of Schmid sexually abusing a dog. The bestiality media was not taken into consideration in the verdict. According to the presiding judge, bestiality pornography is punishable in Germany only if it is intended for distribution.Rape a teenage girl, pay a little fine. I wonder if Russell Brand will just pay a little fine...? In his sentencing remarks, Judge Andreas Bartschmid oddly declared that despite his rape of a child and extremely large collection of child pornography, Schmid was "not a pedophile."He has "thousands" of child porn photos on his computer, including with toddlers, and raped a child. But the judge wants you to know he's definitely NOT a pedophile. That could be used as an accurate statement in political writings made by Racists. His gender transition was "not a fetish," Bartschmid added, but simply "rotted in an inner inclination within the defendant." He also said that his teenage victim had suffered "no long lasting effects" from the attack at the motorway service station, only physical pain during it.types deletes This is not the first child he has sexually assaulted, either. ... In 2024, Schmid had invited the teenage victim to his home to use his installed whirlpool system. According to the girl, Schmid gave her alcohol, but after five minutes felt dizzy and then immediately lost consciousness. She then awoke hours later when it was dark on Schmid's sofa, wearing a t-shirt without her bathing suit on. Schmid claimed she was at risk of drowning and changed her out of her bathing suit to ensure his couch stayed dry. The prosecution determined there was not enough evidence to charge Schmid for this incident, and most concerningly, Judge Bartschmid in the sentencing remarks further claimed that the minor "shared responsibility" for what happened because she had consumed alcohol. However, even more disturbing new details from the case emerged this week and sent a furor through German social media. According to Die Welt, before the trial finished, Schmid's lawyer, Peter Durr, sent an official letter from his office questioning the teenage rape victim over her usage of male pronouns for her rapist during her testimony. Durr said he was looking to "politely inquire whether it is correct that you referred to Ms. Schmid as 'he' on the last day of proceedings."Germany has a law that imposes a fine of up to 10,000 Euros for misgendering a tranny. Which is, you will note, a mere 10% less than the fine the tranny rapist has to pay his victim for raping her. For some reason, Racists in Germany took this as an attempt to intimidate the 15-year-old rape victim. ... Outraged at the new revelation, a number of German women's rights campaigners began a digital chain with the message: "We live in a country where a raped girl is issued a cease-and-desist order if she refers to her rapist as a man. I despise everyone who enacted this humiliating, misogynistic law." German media reports throughout the trial had often described Schmid as a "police woman," or "female police officer," with Suddeutsche Zeitung even giving the case as an example of "female" sex crimes. NY Post: Ilhan Nur Said Elmi has two "secret siblings" in London, who I imagine she's keeping secret so that her very sketchy family background can be concealed. Ilhan Omar has been hiding links to two of her siblings in London in an alleged bid to create further distance between her and rumored brother Ahmed Nur Said Elmi -- whom she married in 2009. Multiple sources told The Post that Mohamed Nur Said Elmi, a political activist for the Puntland cause in Somalia, and Leila Nur Said Elmi, 53, are Omar's siblings who live in London. Ahmed Elmi, 41 -- to whom Omar was married for eight years, and who described himself as "a gay man" in a recent academic paper -- is also believed to have lived with Leila while growing up. The congresswoman, 44, arrived in the US as a refugee from Somalia in 1995, while the other branch of her family made their way to London via Ukraine. "They are all one family," a friend of the Omar family claimed in an interview with The Post. "The siblings have the same mum and the same dad and within the Somali community acknowledge each other as brothers and sisters. "But they keep it quiet to the rest of the world because Ilhan is now in politics. They do not want people to find the link between her and Ahmed [Elmi]." The family spent four years in a Kenyan refugee camp after fleeing Somalia when war broke out. But the family, which originally had the surname Elmi, made the decision to seek safety abroad as soon as they could, according to a family friend in Minnesota. "It's what people in the community did when they were desperate," the source told The Post. "There was obviously a lot of danger and once people knew they could get into another country, they'd help take on as many others as possible to keep them safe." Omar, her sister Sahra and late father Nur Omar Mohamed first settled in Arlington, Virginia, before making their way to Minnesota. Her alleged brother, Mohamed, now appears to be heavily involved in Puntland politics, regularly traveling to the region from London, according to his posts on social media. He and his sister Leila have ties with war criminal Mohamed Said Hersi "Morgan" who led a brutal state-sponsored massacre against the Isaaq clan in 1988 under dictator Siad Barre. As a picture obtained by The Post shows, the pair proudly smiled alongside the warlord for a picture in January 2024. Mohamed also paid tribute to him on social media after he died a year later, noting that their families shared a bond of friendship and that Gen. Morgan was close with their father. Gen. Morgan, known as the "butcher of Hargeisa," orchestrated a campaign that saw cities flattened due to aerial bombardment, wells poisoned and up to 200,000 civilians killed in what many scholars refer to as a genocide. Omar's late father also went by the name Nur Said Elmi and was also a prominent military commander in the Somali dictatorship, which millions fled from. Leila, Mohamed and Sahra are all linked on Facebook, proudly leaving "hearts" on each other's photos and all are friends with alleged father Nur, who went by Nur Said, which means "light of happiness" in Arabic, which Omar has previously claimed is just a nickname for her father, although Somali sources dispute this. Omar, Sahra, Leila, Mohamed and Elmi did not respond to The Post's requests for comment. Omar's alleged sister Leila married a Somali man 11 years her senior in 1997 in Camden, London. The British marriage certificate, obtained by the Post, lists her father as Nur Said Elmi, a military officer from Somalia. Multiple sources have claimed the person listed on the British legal document is Nur, Omar's father, and that all of the siblings in the US and UK also share the same mother -- Fadhuma Abukar Haji Hussein, who the Congresswoman says died when she was around two years old. "We are a small community, and everybody talks, nothing is hidden," a friend of the Omar family told The Post.

I can't even imagine how awful that must be. The rape itself is monstrous. Then the entire weight of the state is imposed against you to force you to say you were raped by a woman. Can you imagine being placed under oath to tell the truth with the possibility of penalties or even the exoneration of your rapist, and you have to describe such a horrific violation and FORCED to LIE in front of everyone and say it was done to you by a woman?

Stephen Miller as chief of staff reveals Trump’s bunker mentality Jacob Heilbrunn If further testimony was required that Donald Trump doesn’t back down from a fight, then his ouster on Friday of Susie Wiles and appointment of Stephen Miller as his White House chief of staff is it. Wiles is a savvy pol who helped steer Trump to victory in 2024 but hardly an ideological MAGA bedmate. By contrast, Miller is an alter Kämpfer, or old fighter, in the movement. His motto isn’t America but Trump First. Posted by: beckster at November 06, 2026 04:52 PM (kX27y) 61

Throuples, foursomes and other multi-partner relationships can now register as domestic partners in a Los Angeles County city after its city council unanimously approved new legal protections for polyamorous couples.
--- This doesn't mean they have to be married or even romantically involved, right? So one gets on the city payroll as a home health care worker for the other 3 and the other 3 get on the city health care. And those 3 get to stay on their welfare because their home health care worker has certified them as disabled. Damn, that household could be pulling easy $350k a year in benefits and not one of them works. Posted by: People's Hippo Voice at November 06, 2026 05:13 PM (Aug7T) 134

Our Catholic church, like many, are anti-abortion and give to resources to promote life. Many babies in our beautiful Mass.
Man and women only marry, no gender confusion. No exceptions. No rainbow flags or secular rules. Baptism under the Trinity only. Three of many reasons I joined. Conservative protestant churches, who existed or fled PCUSA (like we did) and ignore the liberal factions, believe this as well. ---- The Lutheran Church, Missouri Synod is still conservative as well.

Going by the leftist logic of "Only those in power can be racist" it is clear that only black people in Georgia are racist.
Posted by: Darth Randall at November 06, 2026 04:50 PM (mseD3) They don't actually believe that. They only believe in Power for themselves and their Clique. Since they keep on changing their names on a euphemism treadmill anyway -- Cultural Marxists, SJWs, wokies -- I'm toying with the term "Pomo Hitlerian." They lie about everything, including your beliefs and theirs -- even including their fake opposition to the beliefs they falsely attributed to you! It's postmodern subversion IRL. For example, they don't actually oppose white supremacy. They refuse to criticize Arab supremacists, who are white and the second-biggest ethnicity on Earth. (Han are the biggest by far, and they would also never criticize Han supremacy.) They also don't actually oppose nationalism. They don't oppose religious nationalism. They don't even oppose theocratic nationalism! They would never whisper a word of condemnation of all the world's Islamic nationalists. They that you're a Nazi to keep you from noticing that they're Pomo Hitlerian. Posted by: SciVo at November 06, 2026 05:45 PM (ke3zm) Posted by: Don Black at November 06, 2026 05:45 PM (ZxPkt) 225

My folks, rest their souls always voted democrat.
They even voted for Barry Soetoro, so 'beaten' into having white guilt by the MSM. Needless to say, I have _not_ followed in their footsteps. I suppose I have Joseph Sobran to thank for this and whose articles I read in the Dallas Times Herald (starting in the mid 70's, and since defunct and it was the conservative paper in Dallas back when.) I do hope they are not rolling over in their graves given what the democrat party has become. They grew up in the era of Roosevelt's Fireside Chats and all; Dad served in the Navy in World War 'Eleven' aboard a carrier in the Pacific and saw Japanese kamikazes in action live. Posted by: _Jim at November 06, 2026 11:01 PM (JCIvk) WaPo Sob Story: DEI Layabouts Fired by the Federal Government Can't Get Hired by Other Corporations Because They Know They're DEI LayaboutsSad! Nightmare VisionThis was published late last week but I couldn't find an archived copy until now. (It's paywalled.) Trump fired him. The 'DEI Watchlist' shamed him. Then came 500 job rejections.Because you produced nothing. You earn nothing, you just cost a company money to push for more DEI layabouts to be hired and cost the company more money. It's absurd you even had this "dream job" in the first place. What are your qualifications, Buddy? Probably because they only hire gay people. Live by identity-based hiring, die by identity-based hiring. Wow, this pointless novelistic detail of the mundanities of simply getting dressed and eating really makes me identify with this unemployed grifter. Sliding into his car, he drove in the opposite direction from the nation's capital and the limestone-and-brick federal building where he'd once found his purpose and had hoped to remain until he retired. Since President Donald Trump returned to office, nearly 426,000 of the nation's 2.2 million civilian federal employees have left the government.Beautiful. .... Of the hundreds of thousands who left, 85 percent resigned or retired early through incentive programs offered by the Trump administration, a Washington Post analysis found. Thirty-two thousand full-time workers were fired. Harris was one of them.You know that claim that government workers make when their unions press for even higher wages than the already-inflated wages they're currently receiving? That you have to pay them more because they can just walk out the door and get much higher rates of pay in the private sector? Any thoughts about that perennial claims, WaPo? I enjoy the fact that the WaPo treats this as some kind of conspiracy theory or contested claim, when in fact the entire point of DEI is to push for the hiring of non-whites, non-males, and non-straights only. There is no "DEI for white people." The president's order accelerated that opposition, triggering a rapid retreat from DEI policies throughout government and the corporate world -- and, Harris feared, devastating the field in which he built his career.It's not a career, it's a make-work welfare program for people who are otherwise unemployalbe. ... Harris's job search was made harder by his membership in an even smaller group: He'd been named, with 92 others -- two-thirds of them Black -- on a public website called the "DEI Watchlist." Run by a little-known conservative group with ties to the Heritage Foundation, the site claimed to expose "behind-the-scenes bureaucrats who push divisive DEI agendas that undermine merit, fairness, and accountability." A full page devoted to Harris shared his federal salary and employment history alongside a smiling photo of him wearing a blue button-down. Harris had been out of government for more than a year, but the site was still the first result when anyone Googled his name. One prospective employer confided to him that the watch list made him unhirable. Harris often checked with friends and colleagues also named on the list, and most of them were still out of work, ... Harris received no severance. Now, his $16-an-hour paycheck was barely enough to cover utilities. It was supplemented by a second part-time job and help from his 71-year-old mother, who'd recently picked up extra hours at the Hallmark shop where she'd worked for the past two years. But he was also using his 401(k) to pay the mortgage and his credit card bills, and that would be empty by next year. Pulling into a long, low strip mall, he parked and closed his eyes. He didn't have to clock in for another 15 minutes. He told himself to forget the Dia Harris who'd earned two degrees; the sought-after HR expert who'd drawn six-figure salaries from Fortune 500 companies; the little boy who grew up in North Philadelphia eating blocks of yellow cheese from the government and who swore he'd never work part-time jobs like his mother. ... IN THE LAST DAYS OF 2024, as his colleagues swapped rumors that the incoming president was going to delete DEI from the government, Harris and his boss came up with a plan to save his job. As chief equity officer, Harris was tasked with ensuring that the workforce of the ACF resembled the Americans it served. Before Trump's inauguration, he switched to become a "senior advisor" in the Office of Community Services, which distributes funds, diapers and legal services to the poor. He saw it as more or less the same worthy mission: bringing in good people and helping them help the neediest Americans. Who, he wondered, could find fault with that? Obviously this is the same scam we've seen throughout government and universities where they just create a vague fake new title and assign that title to DEI officers, who continue doing DEI bullshit and getting paid six figures for it. Seems like Trump foresaw your next grifter maneuver and preemptively blocked it. Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

Have a nephew--probably the sharpest of that generation (of the family)--my kids included. He interned for Amazon AWS, and he now works for Doordash.
But when he was interviewing for jobs--as sharp as that kid evidently is--he got no answers unless there was an offer. But he's not the only one I have heard that from, as I have another nephew who was looking for jobs as well--only not in tech. It's just the sharp one served as an example to me. That's why I kind of doubt the "rejections", and I've seen it myself last time I was in the market. Posted by: Axeman at November 06, 2026 04:00 PM (Fi81e) 38
So Trump goes directly to the heart of the Young White Male employment problem by RIFing Dia Harris and the thanks he gets for it is the same people he helped voted to knee-cap him by hiring the very same people who gave Dia Harris and hundreds of thousands like him the opportunity to circular file their résumés.

Amazing the Private Market didn't snap this guy right up and pay him 3x what he was getting from Federal Employment.
--- Like the lady in DC earlier this year, was making 6 figures as a grant administrator at some NGO, forced to slum by applying for $15/hr job at Hobby Lobby or some such. And there was a total disconnect in her mind why the market didn't value her years of management experience at $100k+/year. This too is the story of your average socialist: They all know someone, equal in their degrees, that got one of these 6-figure cush laptop jobs. And bitter resentment they did not.

You know that claim that government workers make when their unions press for even higher wages than the already-inflated wages they're currently receiving? That you have to pay them more because they can just walk out the door and get much higher rates of pay in the private sector?
-------------- We all know that if that were true they would have left and got a job in a private company. In fact, that may have been true a few decades ago but today government pays more than any private enterprise can. Posted by: Decaf at November 06, 2026 04:06 PM I don't know about state workers but federal unions can't negotiate anything to do with wages. My wife did the federal HR thing with union negotiations for almost 20 years. The only thing they can negotiate is working conditions, pay and benefits is off limits under federal civil service laws.

Speaking of white people supporting DEI, Oregon, which is 2% black, has at least 10x that amount of blacks in senior governmental positions and on advisory boards.
Portland (6% black) created the new job of city manager, and interviewed three finalists. All were black. Multnomah County (5% black), which includes Portland, after this election will have a black majority on the county commission (3 of 5 seats). Many, many, other examples. It's interesting from an anthropological point of view. If I were a laid-off DEI type, I'd be headed like a rocket for Oregon. Posted by: The ARC of History! at November 06, 2026 04:14 PM (aD4fx) 103

So Trump goes directly to the heart of the Young White Male employment problem by RIFing Dia Harris and the thanks he gets for it is the same people he helped voted to knee-cap him by hiring the very same people who gave Dia Harris and hundreds of thousands like him the opportunity to circular file their résumés.
I have zero pity for those whining about H1Bs taking their jobs. -- I don't get it. Are you saying that young, white men should have applied for those DEI vacancies? Because firing DEI didn't open up a single job for any white man. And the courts shut down Trump's too-little H1B reforms, the $100k fee. That the courts did that, not Trump, is irrelevant to them, they never saw any H1Bs get fired. The stories--and I know some personally--of white men putting out hundreds of applications and zero interviews, continues to pile up, even to today. But sure, blame the voters.

She has applied to 500 jobs without an offer either. So its sounds pretty standard. Posted by: Harun at November 06, 2026 04:28 PM (IuIym) Posted by: garrett at November 06, 2026 04:29 PM (/izzV) 156

Posted by: Harun at November 06, 2026 04:28 PM (IuIym) My suggestion - have her go back to her professors and see if they have leads for her (if her degrees are in nothing that friends and family can help secure employment with)...in AI land, personal contacts are about the only way to beat the system and get in and land a job...

Now ask him why his smoke detectors always chirp
------ You ever notice that the pitch of the chirp from a smoke detector is the same pitch they used to alert the teacher that it was time to change the slide being shown to the class? Posted by: Zombie Andy Rooney at November 06, 2026 04:31 PM (TN0g+) 166
Now ask him why his smoke detectors always chirp Posted by: ballistic at November 06, 2026 04:28 PM (oqH4h) Damned greedy smoke detector manufacturers, stuffing birds into their products. Those birds never hurt nobody. Posted by: IllTemperedCur at November 06, 2026 04:32 PM (y9nCu) 167
Answer: Nobody. This guy is making all this up.

Without an ounce of regret, we wouldn’t touch you with a 20 foot pole.” Posted by: Piper at November 06, 2026 04:28 PM (ZdaMQ) ________ Yea. And as he was being pushed out of each job he ever had (see my comment above) his old employer never badmouthed him because they wanted him to get another job and be someone else's problem. I suspect they even let him tell prospective employers that he quit. Posted by: Elric The Blade at November 06, 2026 04:32 PM (iFTx/) 168

Still buying expensive K-cups even though you’ve been laid off for a year? Not a smart use of dwindling funds, sparky.

Both the Roman Empire and the Soviet Union would intentionally promote incompetents into positions of power because people who owe their good life entirely to The System will fight to the death, betray their friends and family and turn violent if need be.
This is DEI. And this is why its beneficiaries will lie, cheat and even kill to keep it alive. Posted by: 29Victor at November 06, 2026 04:33 PM (0MjtC) 171

So its sounds pretty standard. Posted by: Harun I truly am not trying to be an asshole but both Ingalls Shipbuilding and General Dynamics are trying to hire tens of thousands of brand new welders, electricians and pipefitters at all of their shipyards. They will train newbies and the pay is great. Not kidding. I didn't land a job in my field after college either but fell into a lucrative career nonetheless. One has to do what one has to do.

My town's police chief retired last year after 28 years on the force, at 50, and began receiving his pension of $150,000 per year (which rises with an inflation calculation in future years) right away. He went to work for a university, where he hopes to work until he qualifies under their rules (he began the job with credit for past years when he was a consultant) for a second pension.

How many qualified white men did Dia Harris and his colleagues prevent from being hired because of the color of their skin?

Dia Harris: Live by the DEI sword; die by it.
$183,500 per year with no value added. In fact, he probably subtracts value. No wonder he can't find a job in his "field." Posted by: Ralph at November 06, 2026 04:58 PM (8WZD4) Despite the Blue Wave, Blue States Voted to Restrict Girls' Sports for Girls
