Murkowski, Collins, and Paul Defect to the Democrats, As Usual, to Demand Trump Surrender to Iran
Boy that Rand Paul, what a Great Conservative Manlet.
Speaking of the odious Rand Paul: Rand Paul's son doesn't fall far from the Rand Paul, or Ron Paul, tree.
Alaska's embarrassment, Senator "Princess" Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), has struck again. This time, she joined Republicans Susan Collins (R-ME) and Rand Paul (R-KY) in voting for a resolution to force President Trump to pull out our armed forces who are still poised, locked, loaded, and aimed at Iran. The good news is that the resolution still failed. ... The resolution failed in part because of the Democrats' last sane Senator: John Fetterman (D-PA), who voted against the War Powers resolution. The administration is insisting that the cease-fire is, in effect, a reset button on the conflict's 60-day window.
The adult son of Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) launched a vile antisemitic and homophobic tirade at Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) at a DC bar Tuesday night, saying at one point that the Iran war was "about the gays and the Jews, and I hate them both, and I don't care if they die." In a phone conversation recounting the evening, Lawler told The Post that he was sitting at a popular DC bar with a friend and a reporter for NOTUS, which first revealed the incident involving William Paul. "So Rand Paul's f--ing son is sitting next to us at the at the bar ... And he just like chimes in on our conversation, f--ing drunk and belligerent, and then starts going off about, you know, if [Rep. Thomas] Massie [R-Ky.] loses [his primary], it's because of my people," Lawler recalled. "I'm like, 'What people?' He goes, 'Jews,' and I'm like, 'Do you think I'm Jewish? ... I'm Irish-Italian Catholic, buddy,'" the Hudson Valley lawmaker went on. "He's like, 'Wait, you're not Jewish?'" Lawler recalled the younger Paul asking, to which the lawmaker said he replied: "And even if I was, what's the problem?" "And then he got into the Middle East, and he was talking about, like, us trying to steal Iran's land for the Jews and steal the West Bank, and I'm like, 'What are you talking about?'" At that point, William Paul said: "This war, it's all about the gays and the Jews, and I hate them both, and I don't care if they die." ... ... "Last night, I had too much to drink and said some things that don't represent who I really am. I'm sorry and today I am seeking help for my drinking problem," William Paul posted on his X account Wednesday afternoon. The senator's son previously pleaded guilty in 2015 to driving under the influence after smashing his Honda truck into a parked car and being found "belligerent" and with "a strong odor of alcohol," per the Lexington Herald-Leader.Uh-huh. He also apologized to Lawler... for calling him a Jew, when he wasn't a Jew at all.
Reese GormanI don't really care what this fat alcoholic Daddy Got Me a Job Nepo Baby Failure thinks -- but it is a very interesting look inside the "thinking" of the entire Paul family, and how they launder straight-up antisemitic hatred and support for Islamists though bullshit jive about "libertarians" being absolutist pacifists.
@reesejgorman 3h New: Sen. Rand Paul's son drunkenly accosted and hurled anti-Semitic insults at Rep. Mike Lawler at a Capitol Hill bar on Tuesday night. His son told Lawler that if Rep Thomas Massie loses, it's going to be because of "your people." "My people?" Lawler asked Paul. "Yeah, you Jews," Paul responded. "Do you think I'm Jewish?" Lawler asked. "I'm not." "Oh wow, I'm so sorry for calling you a Jew," Paul said. He then said that Jews were "anti-American" and how Lawler and his "Jewish supporters" served Israel more than America.

I think she was mostly just in the way. The PETA folks got more press, if only to point and laugh at them.

Antisemitism, or racism is a deep-seated reliance on a categorical mistake called "overgeneralization".

The female counterpart to Bob Dylan, folksinger and anti-war protester Joan Baez, was the last act on Friday evening. She started at about 1:00 am. Appropriately, she wished everybody a good morning. Her perfectly arranged set combined with her beautiful and skillful voice was a fine finish for a chaotic and exhausting first day. During her performance it was drizzling, and then after her she finished it started to rain heavily.
According to Star Fleet Archives, her set list in order:
“Oh Happy Day”
“The Last Thing on My Mind”
“I Shall Be Released”

Fun fact: if you ever find a set of old fashioned print encyclopedias from the '50s or early '60s, there's no entry for "Palestine" in most of them. In a handful, there's a tiny entry that mentions that "Palestine" is (was) a region within Israel.
The "Palestinian State" is historical nonsense that was created within the last 60 years.

There is no detectable genetic difference from the people who call themselves "Palestinians" and the people who call themselves "Jordanians".
It's really that the politicos from Egypt kept a group of that people in "refugee" camps for decades, so it could remain a political issue. Both Arafat and Aziz were Egyptians. It's all about a non-Muslim country in the middle of Islam.
But Arafat and Aziz basically kept relatives of Jordanians from just going to live and assimilate to Jordan. After all, Islam couldn't have the "Right of Return" just whither away, as the number who could return dwindled.

and how they launder straight-up antisemitic hatred and support for Islamists though bullshit jive about "libertarians" being absolutist pacifists.
Even famous "pacifists" weren't pacifists. That piss-drinker Gandhi was perfectly comfortable with violence, he volunteered as a stretcher-bearer during the Boer War, recruited Indian soldiers for Britain during WWI, and later on his whole strategy for Indian Independence was built on provoking violence from the Limeys, to shame them for beating down and killing "peaceful" Indians. Since the Limeys were somewhat civilized, the strategy worked because it attacked their self image. Most other occupying powers would have just shot the Indians in the face and went home to drink gin and tonics.

Hollywood: Shit or Garbage?
The Odyssey is every bit as woke and gay as we were fearing.
First of all, it's based on a revisionist translation of Homer's text, by a radical feminist who used the tale to critique masculinity, "the patriarchy," and to center female voices. You know, like the 3,000 year old war and adventure tale The Odyssey was always meant to be.This is why Odysseus' son says "My dad is coming home," too. She translates ancient Greek for (say it with me) The Modern Audience. Nolan is not using the standard cinematic music for epics, the orchestral score, saying that the orchestra did not exist in ancient Greece and so the movie shouldn't have an orchestral score.
Jon Root
@JonnyRoot_ 3h Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey movie was doomed from the start... It's rumored that the screenplay is based on a woke, feminist retelling of the story by Emily Wilson* 1. The language is dumbed down (modernized)
2. It downplays masculinity & male hierarchy.
3. It shames violence/war
4. Odysseus is emasculated & less of an inspirational hero. He's more "complicated" (vulnerable, arrogant, manipulative)
5. Woman are made more prominent & impactful at the expense of male characters. This retelling infuses modern, liberal ideology into the story, turning the epic into political propaganda. This movie will no doubt have elements of identity politics throughout. *Nolan has mentioned Wilson's version in interviews.
DiscussingFilmSo, you may think: Oh he's using period-accurate music for the film.* He just wants to make the most period-accurate epic of ancient mythic Greece ever made. But then... Why this?
@DiscussingFilm May 12 Christopher Nolan instructed Ludwig Göransson not to use an orchestra for 'THE ODYSSEY' score. "It's not like the orchestra existed back then. It was a challenge and also an opening to try to make something unique."
Christopher Nolan says he cast rapper Travis Scott in #TheOdyssey as a “nod“ to the tradition of oral poetry:
— Variety (@Variety) May 12, 2026
“I cast him because I wanted to nod towards the idea that this story has been handed down as oral poetry, which is analogous to rap.” (via Time)… pic.twitter.com/gvgwo20YHC
The all-star cast is rounded out by Tom Holland as Telemachus, Robert Pattinson as Antinous, Lupita Nyong'o as Helen of Troy, Zendaya as Athena, Charlize Theron as Calypso, Jon Bernthal as Menelaus, and Benny Safdie as Agamemnon.Note that Nolan is selling his race-swap-crazy feminist take on The Odyssey as hyper-accurate.
Anyone who's been following Nolan's career knows the British filmmaker is painstaking when it comes to accuracy. On "Interstellar," he hired a team of scientists to get the physics to be as accurate as possible. He took a similar approach to "The Odyssey." "For 'Interstellar,' you're looking at, 'What is the best speculation of the future?' When you're looking at the ancient past, it's actually the same thing," Nolan said. "'What is the best speculation and how can I use that to create a world?'" He added, "Hopefully they'll enjoy the film, even if they don't agree with everything. We had a lot of scientists complain about 'Interstellar.' But you just don't want people to think that you took it on frivolously."I care less about the race-swap of Athena. She's a "goddess" and I guess can take whatever form she likes. I don't see much wisdom in Zendaya's blank eyes, though. But Lupito Nyong'o as Helen of Troy? Helen of Troy was born in... Sparta. Does Lupito Nyong'o have that classic Spartan look? Is this the most accurate speculation about what the ancient Greek world looked like?
Lupita Nyong’o will play both Helen of Troy and her sister, Clytemnestra, in Christopher Nolan’s ‘THE ODYSSEY.’

FUUUUUUUCK this guy and FUUUUUUUCK this movie. I'll watch Troy again. Sean Bean is my Odysseus. * The first time I heard "well they didn't have orchestral music back then either" was from the writer/director of A Knight's Tale, explaining why it's no big deal that his 14th-century jousting movie contained music by David Bowie and Queen. It's no more anachronistic, he argued, that a medieval-set film should feature "Low Rider" and "We Will Rock You" than it would to feature an orchestral score. I mean... okay whatever that was a good movie and those music inclusions were fun so I'll let it stand.

They did Menelaus so dirty in that movie and I hate them for it.
Posted by: FeatherBlade at May 13, 2026 04:36 PM (vJrRc)
I don't know if anyone saw it, but there was an in-theater only teaser last Christmas. In it, Menelaus invites tales of Odysseus to be told.
We've also found out that Travis Scott is in the film, and the one photo of him from the movie is him obviously in Ithaca.
The Odyssey was also told by Homer orally, meaning it's part of the oral tradition.
So...the story of Odysseus is going to be told by the people in Ithaca as they wait for Penelope to tell them who she's going to marry. And Scott will tell of the end of the Trojan War when Helen was there.
And because Scott is black, his telling of Helen will be black.
If that's the case, I think it's a clever way to get in diversity hires and actually make it make sense.
======
I said this last thread, but I think the stunt casting is going to be less obnoxious in the film than feared.
But, no one's seen it. I could be all wrong. So who knows?
It's gonna break a billion dollars at the box office no matter what.

She is a pleasant looking woman, but there are many better looking actresses available, and even if Nolan was fixated on Helen being black (which he obviously was) there are many better looking black actresses.
Maybe she launched a drone flown by a 12-year-old boy while she was skinny-dipping in her backyard pool. But a thousand ships? Nope.

If you want to play the game, you could charge Nolan with insensitively failing to cast Greek actors and actresses. As it is, this is like casting Hispanic actors to play Charlie Chan and Fu Manchu.

Georgia Governor Brian Kemp has called for a special session to redraw Georgia’s congressional and legislative maps.
Furthermore, the proclamation allows for the enactment of much-needed election law reform.
We must not let this opportunity go to waste.

This week's movies:
The Sheep Detectives-
Old-fashioned family style movie about sheep who solve their shepherd's murder. Some good laughs, very leisurely time at the movies. Feel good ending. Very small children may be bored.
Hokum
I can't go into a lot of details without spoilers. Depressed writer who's working on the ending to his long-awaited final book in a popular trilogy. Is depressed. He goes to a hotel in Ireland where his parents had their happiest days to leave their ashes. Mysteries occur including mention of some supernatural goings on within the hotel.
Hijinks ensue.
I like the way this one comes together and it wants to make you feel uneasy rather than out right frighten you.
Made by the same guy who did "Caveat" and "Oddity"- so you know what to expect if you seen those...a slow burn, intelligently written scary movie.
BONUS! We watched the series "The Chestnut Man" on Netflix. Very good throwback to the serial killer thrillers of the 90's. There's 2 seasons with two different mysteries...worth your time.
Posted by: naturalfake at May 13, 2026 05:01 PM (iJfKG)
She is a pleasant looking woman, but there are many better looking actresses available, and even if Nolan was fixated on Helen being black (which he obviously was) there are many better looking black actresses.
Maybe she launched a drone flown by a 12-year-old boy while she was skinny-dipping in her backyard pool. But a thousand ships? Nope.

i want to blow off some steam about something that happened earlier today. At the office, not here, lol.
I'm a tech for a printer company. I go to different firms and office scattered around the Philly region. Today, I was at a site where all of the workers were minorities. I was the only white person there. Most of the time, there's no issue, everyone gets along. Today, however, they were playing the local hip-hop station on the radio. The "music" is bad enough, but in between songs, the DJ's and host were ripping Trump, SCOTUS, the South, etc. For some reason, they were really dumping on Scott Jennings. Not just boilerplate lefty hate, some of the stuff was risible. I'm wondering if I should complain about it and put a target on my back (everyone would know it was me), or just shake my head and marvel at the ignorance. I mean, if I came in and started blasting Sirius Patriot or some other RW talk show, I'd be sent to HR in a heartbeat. I don't want to argue about this shit in a corporate setting.

Such a shame. As a kid--I mean as a really young kid who learned to read early--I was enraptured by Edith Hamilton's collection of Greek myths, 'Timeless Tales of Gods and Heroes'. I would have loved to see a big budget Hollywood epic faithful to its source material. But no. Instead, we get this.
Another thing, too. Based on the recent Animal Farm debacle, I get the sense these people are deliberately attempting to corrupt and destroy classics of Western civilization by replacing them in the public mind with Woke agitprop. It sickens me.

Not an expert on this timeline, but Helen had the competition for marriage then was married to Menelaus for a while before Paris got involved with the three Goddesses in a bitchfight. So she doesn't have to be hugely young, myths say she had one daughter with him and possibly 2 sons, but before or after going off to Troy for 10 years isn't stated.

If Nolan wanted accuracy, he needed to see how ancient Greeks envisioned Achilles. All he had to do was look at some authentic ancient Greek pottery. Here is a piece showing Achilles killing the Amazon Queen Penthesilea. Dated to 540–530 B.C., a black-figured amphora (wine-jar), signed by Exekias as potter and attributed to him as painter.

It would be an explanation of why Troy was so heavily contested. It was a major port for Western Anatolia, which was not consolidated by Hattusha, and exposed to the Greeks who had rolled up the Cretan trading routes. Once one Greek adventurer captured it, all the others would want it too, especially since it would not be able to call for help from the other Anatolian city states.

If Nolan wanted accuracy, he needed to see how ancient Greeks envisioned Achilles. All he had to do was look at some authentic ancient Greek pottery. Here is a piece showing Achilles killing the Amazon Queen Penthesilea. Dated to 540–530 B.C., a black-figured amphora (wine-jar), signed by Exekias as potter and attributed to him as painter.

I don't know what's more disturbing. The fact that people seem to have made a career out of this, or that a wealth of other individuals somehow give it value. People eating cupcakes, people reacting to movies (not critiquing...but, reacting), people reacting to music (not critiquing....reacting). There is no credibility, expertise, or objective value. Just some lump eating a bag of chips (eating into a microphone is gross in the first place) and responding with something like. "Oh, I like these." What service, vocation, or value is being provide.

CIA Whistleblower: Fauci Ordered the Cover-Up About the America-Funded Wuhan Lab's Creation of the Covid Virus
Bill Melugin
@BillMelugin_ NEW: Active CIA employee James Erdman testifies in the Senate that in August 2021, the intelligence community was prepared to determine that the COVID-19 pandemic likely began as a leak from a Chinese lab, but days later, that changed after Dr. Anthony Fauci "injected himself" into conversations and "significantly influenced" them.
Fox NewsHe testifies that once it became apparent that covid probably leaked from the Wuhan lab, Fauci "injected himself" into the process, gathering a carefully "curated" list of "experts" -- his personal cronies and people dependent on his grants to live -- to claim it was a naturally-evolved virus. He also goes back to 2015, testifying that Fauci and his cronies rewrote the definition of "gain of function" to evade the ban on federal taxpayer funding for gain-of-function frankenvirus creation. He also says that CIA scientists found that covid was likely manufactured in the lab -- but were "retaliated" against by "CIA managers" for not going along with the Fauci lie. And they did so at the behest of Anthony Fauci.
@FoxNews BREAKING: "Dr. Fauci's role in the cover-up was intentional." CIA whistleblower James Erdman III lays out the "cover-up" of the COVID pandemic, claiming scientists and analysts were skewed from the start, all stemming from Dr. Anthony Fauci. "Public health policy would have been very different had the American public been made aware that a virus from a lab in China was going to serve as the foundation for an emergency use authorization M-RNA products."
Senator Rand Paul
@SenRandPaul 4h 🚨 CIA Whistleblower reveals that despite a majority of CIA scientists concluding COVID leaked from a lab in Wuhan, Anthony Fauci was able to convince high-ranking intel officials to change the assessment from a lab leak to neutral.
Gunther Eagleman™I think Fauci was more concerned the public would find out that he rigged the fake "gain of function" definition so that he could send taxpayer money to his buddy Peter Daszack with the understanding that Daszack would then immediately sub-grant that money to Wuhan. He was protecting his own role in the engineered mass-murder, not China's. I mean, yes, he was protecting China too, but China was a collateral beneficiary. Erdman worked for the D.I.G., the Director's Initiatives Group. The CIA spied on this group, bugging their phones and computers, because they were exposing the truth of Fauci's, and the CIA's, cover up of their active and central role in global mass murder.
@GuntherEagleman 4h 🚨 BOOM. Career CIA Operations Officer just testified under oath: The COVID lab leak was a deliberate COVER-UP, and Dr. Fauci was in the middle of it. "I am a career CIA Operations officer... The Intelligence Community's actions resulted in a cover-up." - IC leaders downplayed the lab leak on purpose. - Fauci intentionally rigged the process by stacking the deck with his conflicted buddies, the same "Proximal Origin" clowns who pushed the natural origin lie. - They knew it came from Wuhan. They hid it. - That lie was used to ram through emergency use mandates on experimental shots while crushing anyone who told the truth. Millions of lives destroyed. Trillions wasted. Small businesses gutted. Kids masked and isolated. All because the "experts" and deep state didn't want to admit China cooked this thing up and Fauci helped cover their rear end.
Catherine HerridgeThey're still covering up. People are wondering how it is that a CIA under Trump's control is still pumping out this self-serving cover-up garbage.
@C__Herridge 58m As early as February, I began receiving credible reporting that @DNIGabbard
's investigative team was being track and communications collected because their work was revealing "uncomfortable facts." Today, James Erdman alleged to Congress the CIA illegally spied on the computer and phones belonging to the Director's Initiatives Group, along with their investigations and contact with whistleblowers. @CIASpox said, "The Committee acted in bad faith by subpoenaing an Agency officer for testimony today without notifying CIA, despite having already obtained closed-door testimony from the individual previously. The witness testifying today is not appearing as a whistleblower in pursuit of the truth, but instead in response to the subpoena issued by Chairman Paul. This proceeding amounts to nothing more than dishonest political theater masquerading as a congressional hearing. As the CIA has already assessed, COVID-19 most likely originated from a lab leak, and efforts to undermine that conclusion are disingenuous."
BOMBSHELL: Here is the entire opening statement from CIA whistleblower James Erdman lll. He testifies that Dr. Fauci's role in the COVID cover-up was INTENTIONAL.

Unless this means they will bulldoze everything Fauci owns into a giant pile with his demolished house on his clearcut estate, and then put him in a small cage while it is all burned to ash, and he has his pension and investments stripped from him and is allowed to live in subsidized senior housing with a social security benefit of $700 per month, then I don't think justice has been served.

State charges are not precluded by any federal pardon. Same thing with litigation. Fauci acted ultra vires outside the law governing his position and thus can be made penniless from personal liability for the deaths. I think going into the emails, comms, and co conspirators, if Trump and DoJ really want to stop future iterations of this, those can be handed on a silver salver to state officials that are sympathetic to charging not only Fauci, but Pfizer and Moderna executives as well.

It seems to me the destruction of small businesses, schools, social life, etc would have proceeded regardless of where the virus came from.

He did have power over the IC. It is the confluence of the IC/DoD and these foreign labs, likely for keeping tabs on the Chicoms and Ukrainians, that Fauci funded on their behalf through Peter Daslak (not pardoned btw).
From Brave AI
"Daszak, president of EcoHealth Alliance, received millions in U.S. government grants—some approved under Fauci’s leadership at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)—to conduct gain-of-function research on bat coronaviruses in collaboration with Chinese scientists.
Emails and investigations have revealed close coordination between Fauci, Daszak, and Fauci’s top aide, David Morens. Daszak thanked Fauci in April 2020 for publicly dismissing lab-leak theories, calling his comments helpful in dispelling "myths" about the virus originating from the Wuhan lab. In 2021, "
Morens is the one facing charges.

Prior to his COVID murders, Fauci also murdered a bunch of orphans (timeframe late 90's to early 00's) by injecting them with AZT again in collaboration with low life types in NY. Simply put, the guy was a psychopath and other lives did not matter to him whether human or beagle.

" Public health" has been political from the get-go really, but one thing I learned is how doctors, and the medical system and supposedly private research system is just a bunch of flunkies for the powers that be.
Far from being men of science relentlessly pursuing the truth following wherever the evidence leads, they just do what their told. Their funding and careers depend on it.
The few doctors and scientists who did speak out against the narrative, boy, how they were attacked. Medical review boards calling them on the carpet etc, etc.
Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at May 13, 2026 03:37 PM (w6EFb)
I still think it was an intentional release by the ChiComs to short-circuit the protests which were going on in Hong Kong and spreading to other provinces/cities. They were serious enough that the Western press was starting to speculate that they could bring down the commie regime.
Force everyone to stay indoors and then start welding the doors shut and people can't protest in the streets.
Releasing in Wuhan near the originating lab was the ChiComs being clever. If it was released in HK first, then that would cause problems internationally, rather like Tienanmen Square. But the virus got away from them and they lost control.
Oops.
That's why their public statements were so weird. At various times they blamed the US, Italy, Australia etc. They weren't ready with the propaganda and had to improvise.

Then there is Zhou Yusen, a researcher and top scientist at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) and a PLA military scientist. He "accidentally" fell off the roof of the Wuhan lab three months after patenting a vaccine for Covid (which started in advance of the Covid release). He went splat. I call it zìwěn. Honorable Chinese suicide.
China wanted to cut their domestic costs, and pissed the bed in the process. All stemming back to the "one child rule" and how they have too many benefactors and not enough producers.

I disagree, I think the release was accidental, people stealing contaminated bodies and selling them out at the nearby market. That sort of crap goes on routinely in China.
Where China got in was the releasing it world-wide and boosting the world wide lockdowns so they would not lose ground to the world. China's problems with HK postdate Covid IIRC.

I think that is what killed Gene Hackman's wife and he died because his caregiver did. He was as a dementia patient, totally dependent on her to live.
You see it pop up in the Southwest now and again.
"Betsy Arakawa, the wife of actor Gene Hackman, died from hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) in February 2025 at their home in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The virus is a rare, rodent-borne infection transmitted through contact with infected urine, feces, or saliva, and HPS has a high fatality rate. "

At that point the real estate bubble "solution" for the elderly had not blown up in their faces like it is now, and their response to outbreaks was to weld everyone in their houses not just the infirm. It seems fairly risk taking for a group that hasn't been known for it.

I’m honestly wondering what the hell he’s thinking about. Today he brushed off people’s concerns about inflation and gas prices as it relates to
Iran. There’s a growing chorus that wants him to slam the door shut on that conflict, and he’s holding it open
A lot of this smells like legacy vanity crap. Same with China. We should be crushing those mother f’r’s and he’s trying to cut business deals with the people who exist to steal our IP and undermine our companies.

This, 1000%. My blood cancer doc said I was his most informed patient at my last appointment. This was said as a good thing and is a good thing, b/c he knows I press him for good treatment, but he also doesn't have to waste his precious time explaining the obvious about my cancer and treatment to me. So, I can tell him what matters and he can do the same.
Now on year 6 of a cancer that should have killed me in 2-5 and not going anywhere soon...although new treatment coming this summer, so back in the hurry up and test everything phase and get plans and insurance approvals done...

I don't know if anyone saw it, but there was an in-theater only teaser last Christmas. In it, Menelaus invites tales of Odysseus to be told.
We've also found out that Travis Scott is in the film, and the one photo of him from the movie is him obviously in Ithaca.
The Odyssey was also told by Homer orally, meaning it's part of the oral tradition.
So...the story of Odysseus is going to be told by the people in Ithaca as they wait for Penelope to tell them who she's going to marry. And Scott will tell of the end of the Trojan War when Helen was there.
And because Scott is black, his telling of Helen will be black.
If that's the case, I think it's a clever way to get in diversity hires and actually make it make sense.

"Marc Elias, the left's go-to power lawyer for all things election-related, took the rhetoric to a genuinely alarming place. Elias responded to the ruling by invoking language from the Virginia Constitution itself. Not to make a legal argument, but to suggest that the current Virginia government has lost its legitimacy and therefore can and should be abolished." He cites the Virginia Constitution itself for that (aka Locke's Social Contract theory inserted into it.)
Batshit crazy stuff that may provide evidence that Elias is about to be indicted by being questioned or told he is a target before a grand jury.

As i said, as of yesterday, the House had not passed a budget (required) for South Carolina so the special session has to be called. Once called, SC law does not permit limits on whatever is considered. The votes appear there for redistricting as noted above, only a simple majority were required in a special session. During the regular session, it required a super majority under the legislative rules.

I don't know if anyone saw it, but there was an in-theater only teaser last Christmas. In it, Menelaus invites tales of Odysseus to be told.
We've also found out that Travis Scott is in the film, and the one photo of him from the movie is him obviously in Ithaca.
The Odyssey was also told by Homer orally, meaning it's part of the oral tradition.
So...the story of Odysseus is going to be told by the people in Ithaca as they wait for Penelope to tell them who she's going to marry. And Scott will tell of the end of the Trojan War when Helen was there.
And because Scott is black, his telling of Helen will be black.
If that's the case, I think it's a clever way to get in diversity hires and actually make it make sense.

Too many moving parts. B'sides
- Having it loosed in the middle of the country meant that party officials were going to be exposed and killed throughout the nation.
- The lab was not a level 4 or whatever. They did not have the equipment for high level research
- Chinese are not galaxy-brained superhumans that could pull it off
- "If you can cheat, cheat" is an oft repeated maxim.
- The press, the roving thugs, and PLA in HK took care of the issue without the need of introducing a potential weapon that could have killed millions.

NASA is about to submit several papers to the IAU advocating that Pluto should be considered an actual planet, and how the current definition that excluded it is flawed.

"Marc Elias, the left's go-to power lawyer for all things election-related, took the rhetoric to a genuinely alarming place. Elias responded to the ruling by invoking language from the Virginia Constitution itself. Not to make a legal argument, but to suggest that the current Virginia government has lost its legitimacy and therefore can and should be abolished." He cites the Virginia Constitution itself for that (aka Locke's Social Contract theory inserted into it.)

A lot of the cloud people are simply sociopaths--to them other people are 'things', not people and can be manipulated even to their destruction as 'things' if they bollix up what the cloud people want to do.
Psychopaths get literal enjoyment from it and often exhibit extreme cruelty for no other reason than to revel in evil. Sand fleas and beagles under Fauci along with injecting poor orphan children with lethal AZT drugs that didn't work (like remdesivir in Covid) but caused nasty painful deaths in both cases. That takes it beyond mere sociopathy to being actively evil.

Conventional wisdom doesn't capture just how much China is teetering on the edge (and has been for the last 10 years). I have a relative who married into my family who grew up in China and returns regularly to visit family. She said the attitude of the people is different. Over 700 protests in the outer provinces in the last year. That's up 70% from the previous year. Over 300k riot police hired by Beijing in the last 12 months. Each protest includes buckets of rice that they throw at the armed police. It's an old proverbial act that is used to "expel evil." That's a pretty bold statement from the serfs. My guess is China is in dire straights, and risk taking is all they have left. I don't expect China to be recognizable five years from now.

Except in the West Virginia secession from VA. Scotus ruled that if the state is no longer a United States state, then of course it can be divided by a simple act of Congress. And that is likely what would happen if the GOP was running DC and the blue states try to secede. Tennessee was weird as the rump Eastern Tennessee was recognized as the legitimate government over the whole state.
But in case of secession, blue states will be carved up like Turkeys as Democrats have become an urban phenomenon and not a national party anymore.

Chinese army was always a major player in politics, not as much in Russian curiously. But most of Mao's buddies were active fighters in the wars against Chiang's forces and the Japanese, not so true of those that survived in Russia--might have been different if Trotsky had survived and taken out Stalin but that did not happen.
But, Xi is definitely afraid of the Chicom Army taking him out which is why the purges were carried out. Including some of his erstwhile proteges. That is the problem when Xi went for Mao Supreme Leader status rather than the collegial junta with first among equal status of the older post Mao governments.

And the tech they use is getting more and more accessible to anyone at all so the monopoly they had is purely an illusion, as the influx of other nation's products show.

Not because I want to see it or anything, but because the tracking shows that it's easily the most highly anticipated movie of the year.

Our national debt problem is unsolvable. China's is unfathomable.
But the bond holders are all Jews, so everything's cool!
Posted by: Auspex
Ours is solvable. Inflating the debt away and if necessary defaulting on foreign owners of that debt. Will have really bad consequences but doable. China's is estimated at least 200-300 percent of GDP when considering local and government owned companies. It takes extreme measures to correct that especially as it is absent foreign ownership of that debt. It means massive austerity across the board of generations that touched the peak in std. of living and now are suffering the downslide.
That is tougher to survive as a regime than somewhere like North Korea where the poor peasantry have never risen up in living standards in the first place.
It will take force to do that austerity and then anything can happen.

I guess the Kurds finally got tired of being buttfucked by the CIA.
The obvious route would have been mass urban airdrops of Resistance Care packages containing a Glock with a box of ammo, 1 lb of C4 and a simple detonator and some simple instructions. But Nooooooo, some thumb-sucker Donk CIA executive probably nixed that idea because giving common people handguns is bad.

I'm a tech for a printer company. I go to different firms and office scattered around the Philly region. Today, I was at a site where all of the workers were minorities. I was the only white person there. Most of the time, there's no issue, everyone gets along. Today, however, they were playing the local hip-hop station on the radio. In between songs, the DJ's and host were ripping Trump, SCOTUS, the South, etc. For some reason, they were really dumping on Scott Jennings. Not just boilerplate lefty hate, some of the stuff was risible. I'm wondering if I should complain about it and put a target on my back (everyone would know it was me), or just shake my head and marvel at the ignorance. I mean, if I came in and started blasting Sirius Patriot or some other RW talk show, I'd be sent to HR in a heartbeat. I don't want to argue about this shit in a corporate setting.

About 5-6 years ago, the ChiCom Navy boosted the power of their political officers on their ships overnight. To the point where a ship captain had to get EVERY order countersigned by the political officer, including things like maneuver commands. Want to make left full rudder to avoid running the ship into the beach? Make sure that the commissar isn't off the bridge taking a piss.
It got bad enough that the US Navy sent a warning bulletin to every ship, warning them about the changes and the expectation that Chinese actions would take longer because of the need for commissar approval.

Schmoll: Credibly-Accused Sexual Deviant Thomas Massie Trails His Trump-Backed Primary Opponent
The vote -- the reckoning -- is this coming Tuesday.
If these poll results are accurate, Thomas Massie will be spending more time with his weird sex fetishes like the Mexican Wheelbarrow, the Saigon Starfish, and the spectacular but dangerous Triple Lindy. BTW, Elric the Blade said he didn't like pushing this kind of unevidenced accusation. But I'd point out that Thomas Massie has been doing nothing but accusing Trump, WITHOUT EVIDENCE, of participating in the Epstein sex scandals and covering them up. You play the dirty game, then you play by the rules of the dirty game. Live by the sword, die by the sword. But that said: This poll was conducted before those allegations were "re-surfaced" on the internet.In more schmolling news: Spencer Pratt is performing pretty well in the LA mayoral race. He's just a scotch behind the communist catastrophe Mayor Karen.
Quantus Insights
@QuantusInsights NEW QUANTUS INSIGHTS POLL | May 11--12, 2026 Kentucky's CD4 Republican primary has become one of the most closely watched House primaries in the country, and our latest survey finds Trump-backed challenger Ed Gallrein leading Rep. Thomas Massie. 📊 Kentucky CD4 GOP Primary
🔴 Ed Gallrein: 48.3%
🔴 Thomas Massie: 43.1%
⚪️ Undecided: 7.6%
----------------------------------------------------
With leaners included, Gallrein expands his advantage. 📊 Firm + Leaners
🔴 Ed Gallrein: 52.8%
🔴 Thomas Massie: 45.1%
⚪️ Still undecided: 2.1%
----------------------------------------------------
📈 Leaner Movement
Among voters who were not completely sure yet:
🔴 Lean toward Ed Gallrein: 52.4%
🔴 Lean toward Thomas Massie: 23.4%
⚪️ Still completely undecided: 24.1% Gallrein is winning the leaner pool by more than two-to-one, moving him above 50% when firm support and leaners are combined.
----------------------------------------------------
📊 Key Takeaway
Massie retains a durable base of support, but Gallrein leads on the initial ballot and strengthens his position once leaners are allocated.
In a nationalized Republican primary shaped by Trump's endorsement, outside spending, and Massie's independent brand, Gallrein enters the final stretch with the advantage.
Political PollsI'll bet I know whose supporters are most energized. As you probably saw, a leftwing union released an "anti" Pratt ad accusing him, if you can believe this, of wanting the homeless to either clean up their acts or get out, of wanting to hire more police than social workers (!!!), and of saying that maybe government workers unions shouldn't have all the power in LA. The ad was so accidentally pro-Pratt that many suspected it was a false flag or parody, but it was real. Pratt's supporters are pumping out parodies of that real ad (which itself seemed like a parody), accusing Pratt of not wanting LA to burn to the ground, and showing Mayor Karen celebrating her "accomplishments."

Those are parodies. But this is real: Mayor Karen is upset that the super-meth smoking homeless have no teeth. Her policy agenda here is to give the super-meth smoking homeless "comprehensive medical care" to fix them up with great false teeth. Not to get them off meth, you understand. That would be Fascist.
Karen Bass: “How many people, who are unhoused, that you meet have no teeth at all? They don’t have teeth, why? Because meth rots your teeth. YOU CAN’T SUCCEED WITHOUT TEETH! So there needs to be comprehensive healthcare provided to people.”

One big change in politics that doesn't not get commented on is for Dem pols there is no consideration whatsoever about objective performance.
Ignore if you are left/right/whatever for a minute. Wouldn't you vote against Bass? She's objectively and repeatedly failed.
If the politicians are afraid of the voters you would assume she would have resigned and let some other Dem run but...no.
This is not how representative government is supposed to work at all. Its like hiring a guy to fix your roof and instead he burns down your shed, seizes your backyard, and lets a bunch of Mexicans and crazy people into your house with the key you left him...

You would think that the 2022 race would have taught voters a lesson. Bass beat Rick Caruso 53% to his 47% while running on the same issues she's failed to make any improvements on. You would also think that voters would remember what happened in the Palisades fire. Caruso had his private firefighters save his commercial buildings and other structures. Pratt gives off the same vibes but you can't over estimate the strength of the unions, the black voting bloc, and, cheating.

Yes. E. Belfort Bax was an English socialist, and therefore automatically of questionable character and morality. Yet, despite all that and initializing Ernest too, he still wrote The Fraud Of Feminism in 1913, while other men were still smiling and nodding at slanders of their grandfathers. It's in the public domain now, if you want to examine his arguments with the benefit of 113 years of hindsight...

The solution is jail. THAT is where you give them treatment, get them off drugs, whatever else you want to do liberals. JAIL. This whole housing first idea is bullshit - jail first, and once you are back to marginally sane and sober, then we can talk about housing.

Every single time they build housing and give it to them, they destroy the absolute fuck out of it. Then they build more, and they destroy the fuck out of it again. "Well this time it'll work!" Same thing over and over. "We just need more money for housing!" And they move them in and they destroy the fuck out of it again.

100%. California went entirely mail in ballot after 2020.
So, yeah, Pratt won't win.
But, the combination of Pratt in LA and one or even both Republicans getting to the general in the governor's race is going to do amazing things to Republican turnout, especially after SCOTUS rules in favor of excluding ballots received after election day.

As you probably saw, a leftwing union released an "anti" Pratt ad accusing him, if you can believe this, of wanting the homeless to either clean up their acts or get out, of wanting to hire more police than social workers (!!!), and of saying that maybe government workers unions shouldn't have all the power in LA.
The ad was so accidentally pro-Pratt that many suspected it was a false flag or parody, but it was real.
One of you Morons suggested that Pratt should just rebroadcast the ad, with the addition of "I'm Spencer Pratt and I approve this message".
The only variation I'd add onto that inspired response is to have Pratt sitting in a Lazy-boy sipping a beer and turning up the volume with the remote to watch the "anti-Pratt" ad with a big smile on his face. THEN have him give the approval message, while holding in the laughter.

Their only incentive is generate more grants and more clicks. They care nothing for the truth, and in fact they often "know" they are right and so faking the data is just a shortcut to the next step, where they will get more money, a bigger lab, more techs, and be able to prove they are right.
It is a failed model. Grant funding of research produces junk.

I found my father's namesakes MACR number. I've also found an explanation for the different death dates of the crew.
8 (included my great-great uncle) died when the bomber was over Kawasaki, Japan, but 3 were able to parachute out. They were captured and taken to Tokyo. The American Air Corps then firebombed Tokyo, and the Japanese wouldn't let the Americans out of their prison cells, so they all died in the inferno.

The reality is that they are "unhousable" in the disfunction and addiction that makes them unsafe to be around and incapable of making any long term action to better their lives or even maintain a condition if they were given one.
So many are on the street because it is easier than not being an addict and actually doing things to maintain a life.

That's pretty much how we designed soldier housing on base. Don't have to be druggies or mental patients at the ages of 18-24 to destroy housing. No idea why lefties think giving somebody something is going to motivate them take care of it. Skin in the game, i.e. purchase price, is the only motivation that truly works. But then, I'm sure the construction companies appreciate the grift as much as the NGOs signing the contracts.

Lilly Pharma is running ads about how "amyloid" might be the problem if your elderly mother is showing signs of menta deterioration - no mention of "alzheimers" - so apparently they're going ahead with whatever anti-amyloid plaque medications they've been spending all their money developing, without ever implying that it's an Alzheimer's treatment.

At my last reading some 80 labor MPs have called on him to step down, but 100 have signed on. One possible candidate is not in Parliament right now, so to force a leadership change he would have to get an MP to step down and win a seat. But his area went heavily Reform and Green so it is unclear if he would win.
Starmer seems willing to just refuse to do anything and dare them to take him down. None of the Laborites want an election now, they'd be creamed.

The real problem in AK is the free shit army, and the Anchorage Assembly, who determines who counts the votes.
The Natives all think whitey owes them a living, more than even the free healthcare, free schools, free travel to hospitals and courts, and rampant welfare. They will always vote with the Senator that sends them the most freebies.
The Anchorage Assembly is full of fags from CA who have no idea what Alaska is or who real Alaskans are. Everyone knows the voting is a joke, because of who runs the counting and who controls the $$ for the free shit army.
And Anchorage has more than half the population of the entire state.

There is a lot of talk about the Universities being broken in that there is a huge replication crisis for such studies.
PhD candidates have to do some original research that is often never reviewed or replicated, and there is a pattern of researchers falsifying studies to get more grants.
I figure the best fix is to have Masters' candidates engage in replicating studies as part of their qualification. At least in Chemistry, biology and other such hard sciences.

It will be majority muslim, and slowly moved away from English common law and towards sharia in a few years. The foreign born population and migrants is going to swamp them and destroy the country.

I think the primary motivation to vote for Murkowski comes from the fact that she is a more crafty "John Murtha". Highest Per Capita (Per Person): Alaska leads the nation ($24,796 per resident).
Murtha used to set up a card table in the US Capitol to manage Earmarks. Murkowski doesn't set up the table, but she's always first in line to shower gifts on her constituents. It's one of the primary reasons she opposes the US taking over Greenland. It would move Alaska down below Greenland on federal appropriations.

I get really annoyed with the "stealth camping" vids on yootoob. On the one hand, there's some really good info on staying covert in the woods, good tactical tradecraft. But on the other, they don't think twice about hopping someone's fence to stealth camp on someone's property, or camping in roundabouts or the sides of the roads where they are in danger of being turned into hamburger if someone drives off the road.

But Murray is so stupid, she can't form a coherent question. She asks Zeldin about it in an extremely vague way. Zeldin asks if she's talking about EPA's efforts to track and clean up medications found in our water, which is a real problem.
Murray doesn't understand what she's asking, so she starts stammering that she's quoting a NYTimes article about abortions in the water. Zeldin again tries to clarify, but Murray is a mountain of stupid which cannot be summited, so he gives up and assures her they're not looking into abortions in the water.

The Lower 48 libbies consider AK a cheap seat to win, so they flood the market with bullshit 24/7/365 and sit back and smile.
Murkowski would have been gone 12 years ago if she hadn't had all the Outside money. Her daddy was a coward and she's a hack, and most folks up here are wise to that, but her support from Outside is overwhelming.

Word on the street is that the SNP is tabling a No Confidence Motion for the King's Speech. THAT will be fun to watch.
The more I see PM Starmer, the more I am reminded of Erich Honecker. The GDR was falling apart around him, and even so, he was bragging to Gorby that nothing needed to change, that the GDR was a Top 15 world economy, etc etc etc. Honecker was oblivious to what was going on until Willi Stoph initiated the ouster of Honecker. And even then, I still think he was clueless.

Well in Labor's case, the pro-Starmers are the ones swept in when the electorate were punishing Tories so their chance of winning anything again are nil. The others have some chance of winning a seat so they want the Party to limp out of this mess.
there's an old saying "There's a lot of Ruin in a Country" and I think this still holds for them. But their days of even being a pretend associate world leader are done, even if they manage to get decent leadership again.

We have the Permanent Fund Dividend. By law, it is the proceeds of the Permanent Fund which was set up during the Pipeline Era to refund to the people that which was made by developing the oil fields. According to the State Constitution, the resources of Alaska belong to the people, not the government, so the people are paid directly from the proceeds, after inflation-proofing the fund.
Then our previous governor decided he could raid that fund to finance his overspending government, so now the legislature just takes a big chunk of everyone's dividend to balance the state budget. It is rampantly illegal, but so far nobody has successfully sued to restore the full dividend. It is currently between $1K and $1.5K, but if it were the full amount, it would be between $3K and $5K depending upon the year.
But we pay no income tax, so there's that.

A problem is if you extend the Council Vote to a national election Reform does not have a majority. They lead, but would have to partner with the Tories.
And Restore showed a lot of strength, winning 10 of 10 with the candidates they put up. As they grow, they might cannibalize Restore votes.

The Permanent Fund. Over 30 years ago when I was stationed there it was about $900 annually, if memory serves. Not sure what it is now. I never drew it because I never changed my residency. Alaska was an optional Overseas Tour back then and I wanted the Overseas Ribbon and promotion points.
The Gulf War stop-loss fucked me for promotion to E5, which didn't come through until my last few months, so I'd have probably been better off with the cash.

tcn mentioned a lot of this. I think one big problem is the geography and climate, and, uh, the Earth's tilt. So that's three problems.
This is an isolated part of the world that has no road to its own stupidly-located capital, let alone to the continental US beyond. It relies on imports to a near-Polynesian degree. So does North Dakota (as you know from Laura Ingalls Wilder) but at least the Dakotas now have rail and road.

I will point out, again, Pacific Palisades is/was a geographically isolated, tiny tiny enclave. At the time the news coverage made it seem the whole city was on fire. Not true.
Also, Altadena, 20+ miles to the north-east of downtown L.A. is a separate community governed by L.A. County, not in any way associated with Los Angeles.
I forget who described Los Angeles as 40 suburbs searching for a city, but it's funny and survives because it rings true.

Appeals Court Rules That Trump Doesn't Have to Pay Lunatic Fantasist E. Jean Carroll for the "Defamation" of Continuing to Deny This Vicious Fruitloop's Sex Fantasy About Him
Not only was the original allegation of "rape" insane and ripped off straight from an episode of Law & Order: SVU -- with this lunatic attention-whore unable to even say when the "rape" occurred more specifically than "in the nineties" -- but a subsequent New York jury also decided it was "defamation" when Trump later insisted upon his innocence.
Note that this rule has never been applied to anyone except Donald Trump. Any time a man proclaims his innocence following an adverse court ruling, someone can sue that man for "defamation" for denying his or her story. And note that every instance of a false claim is a fresh defamation case -- so you can just keep suing an innocent man forever, for saying he's innocent. This is government-compelled speech of the worst kind: When a partisan jury wrongly finds you culpable, not only do you have to pay the exorbitant penalty they impose on you for partisan bullshit reasons, but you are then compelled by government action to admit the lie of your guilt, forever, anytime someone asks you about it.An Appeals Court has agreed with Trump that he should not have to pay the insane jackpot $83 million judgment until the Supreme Court rules on this preposterous new Trump-Only Law.
Separate -- every time he denies this floridly insane woman's preposterous story, it's a fresh defamation claim.
The Second Circuit Court of Appeals this week temporarily blocked an $83 million dollar payment that President Donald Trump owed to E. Jean Carroll in her defamation case while the Supreme Court mulls intervening. The court order granted Trump's request for a stay, provided he increase his bond by nearly $7.5 million. Carroll, in 2019, accused Trump of raping her in a Bergdorf Goodman's dressing room some time in the 1990s. She brought separate legal claims for defamation over his denials while in office and after leaving.
I just want to remind everyone that in addition to once saying on CNN that "rape is sexy," E. Jean Carroll's accusation against Trump is an exact plot line from a 2012 Law & Order SVU episode.

After all the money he's stolen / grifted you think he'd just pay up but it's an ego thing for him more than anything else. He wants to crush her under heel and claim victory. That's how his sick and twisted mind works sadly.
He’ll win at the Supreme Court because they’re all bought and paid for. They'll rule that presidential immunity extends beyond the term.

Even in a civil trial, the standard of conviction is still a "preponderance of the evidence". If the only evidence is he said/she said, then the "evidence" is still 50/50, and an honest jury would not return a conviction/finding of guilt.
Of course, the "vicitim" can spin a lurid tale for the jurors, while the accused can only say he wasn't there and it didn't happen.
The only possible way the accused can raise an evidentiary defense is to prove they were somewhere else when the rape occurred.
I have certainly noticed that in both of the cases I cited above, the "victim" will NOT state for the record when the rape occurred. Therefore, the accused can never provide any evidence of their innocence.
I am pretty sure that is a deliberate design by the well-oiled Democrat smear machine.

- even though it's technically a civil law, this may be close enough that ex post facto applies; where NY retroactively changed the statute of limitations.
Including that the lobbying funding the change was specifically to get Trump.
And that no one has been sued under it since.
- the trial judge prevented Trump from putting on any evidence she was lying.
- NYC is so biased against Trump, he was denied a fair trial
- She made herself a public figure and Sullivan should apply.
- the verdict is excessive.

Throw out the jury verdict as Ace notes, the alleged predicate offense (rape) was NOT proven to be true by the jury, so a he said, she said, would risk any person claiming to be innocent (and thus the other person is lying) to be targeted for a slander and/or a libel suit.
Ridiculous and ridiculous that the federal appellate courts did not stop this nonsense from NY state in the first place. This would financially penalize someone for claiming they are innocent and that the events never happened. And without proving the underlying offense--the jury never found Trump committed a rape, they claimed he slandered Carroll by denying he did it and attacking her story as false.
Now, apply this liability standard to anything that you have denied in your life--work, school, etc. If you denied it, now you can be sued for slander under the NY State's insane Get Trump jurisprudence.
There are also serious due process violations and other shenanigans involved in this case that appellate courts have ignored because Orangeman Bad.

Growing up we had several crows as pets. Our first two, Heckle and Jeckle, lasted a couple of years, but neighbors complained about the constant noise so we freed them. They continued to hang around for about a year as we continued to put out food for them. Eventually, we would only see once or twice a month and then no more.
The last pet we had was with us for 10 years. We had him in a large cage outside (big enough to stand up in) and in the winter, a huge cage in our basement. Super smart and very devious pet. He loved to terrorize our dog. He had a large vocabulary and had full sentences in his repertoire.
He ate our dinner leftovers and loved hard boiled eggs. He would eat the shells to help with digestion.
He would also call in wild crows to the point where they'd hang out on top of his cage during dinner time, hoping for handouts.
He ended up getting killed by a mink in early spring after moving from the basement to outside.
His name was Clarence and a special childhood memory

And that is probably what will cause the verdict to be thrown out. Judge's instructions to the jury are were a clear violation of due process by misapplying First Amendment law to the facts of the case. So the case would likely remanded to trial court for a new trial which would then be delayed probably for Trump's term in office.

I guarantee you, if Obama had some Red State jury convict him of "defamation" it would have been overturned in 2 seconds by the legal system.

I honestly think they don't 'believe' anything. They claim to do so because that is what the herd is supposed to believe in or be cast out. The late night comic show (Colbert?) where the audience clapped when he mentioned Comey was fired and then the host trying to revise their beliefs in real time by telling them it was a bad thing is a perfect example.

The vast majority of them say it just to upset you and others.
Few of them actually "believe" anything. Which is why they are malleable from day to day, and minute to minute. This is something that the average person cannot grasp. Think of it like walking around just being a troll. Their chief desire is to subordinate you and everyone else, and they use their "beliefs" to feed and enhance that desire, nothing more.

Trump is without hyperbole, one of the most famous and recognizable people in the world, has been since the early 80's, plus he's not a private person in any aspect of his life.
The idea that he could finger bang some broad in Bergdorf Goodman and it not being widely known and gossiped about is preposterous.

Let's be honest, Trump would take the exact same picture with Hakeem Jeffries in a heartbeat.

That was the finding.
Because part of his defense that he didn't rape her, commenting on the allegations, included saying mean things about her.

This is probably the last time I will even have ONE windows computer (I have a couple in the basement (Windows XP SP3, and Windows 7) with expensive and rare stat programs and math programs that I don't want to repurchase). Windows 12 is not even going to be considered.
I dislike Apple but will end up with their Mac Mini or an older Macbook of the Intel or early M1 vintage simply so I can do my taxes on it.
Too big a pain to get tax programs to work right now on Linux under WINE.
Although I might spend the downtime trying to do this before next tax season. The risk is it might throw some real world errors in the mix.

"Despite the festival’s 50-year history as a celebration of environmental sustainability and wellness, staff claimed the drumming caused "harm" to Indigenous communities.
"Longtime attendees and students expressed disbelief at the apology, arguing drums are universal to all human cultures. Many pointed out the unofficial drum circle has been a beloved tradition for decades, often serving as the most inclusive and "magical" part of the weekend. "

The max mission thing and how it kept changing was a running joke in the book Catch 22. That was in the ETO. Things might have been different in the Pacific where you could have very short missions and the B29s which would be super long by comparison.

You are correct. I just scanned it. It appears that his petition rests heavily on presidential immunity possibly from the fear that a broader based challenge would be treated as standard claims already rejected by lower federal courts.
The limits of presidential immunity, however, have not been considered much by lower federal courts nor state court systems. They simply rejected them.

One of my life's sincere highlights was talking with the man who was my grandfather's co-pilot that morning. We spent hours on the phone, and I learned so much about my grandfather. Not just as a pilot, but as a 23 year-old man in the middle of his war.
It was striking because I was 23 the first time I went downrange, too. It's impossible not to make comparisons.

I honestly don't understand the complaint. The new data center site is a seasonal livestock grazing area. It's cooling system is a closed loop, so it doesn't take a continuous water feed. The site will produce its own power, so there's no grid drain. It's supposed to generate $30 million in new revenues annually for the locals immediately, and that could go up.
What's the problem?

I think the legislation to redistrict in a special session called by the governor would only need bare majorities to pass (the thing voted on yesterday was about adding it to the existing session which required super majorities).
Posted by: TheJamesMadison
He had to. SC has no state budget approved. The House caucus refused to do it to force a special session. Once a special session starts, the Governor cannot limit the topics on the session. Found that out yesterday from reading the laws of SC. So the stupid senators outed themselves as anti trump for nothing. The vote was 29-17 in favor of redistricting in the Senate but required the full supermajority to do it.
McMasters decided to make lemonade out of lemons where he had no real choice anyway. Probably to get a chit on future POTUS actions.

Washington Nearsider is a great resource for WWII records etc. I haven't yet done much on my project, but imagine I'll be consulting him again when I do.
BTW, for those who visted the Smithsonian Air & Space museum (original one, on the Mall) over the last 30+ years, the forward B-26 fuselage section displayed in the WWII room, from "Flak Bait", was his plane. Three pilots flew her, as I recall. He was the first and did all 50 missions in that plane. Kind of interesting.
Not sure if it's still on display, haven't been to that museum in decades.

Army records had a disastrous fire in St. Louis in the late 60's that destroyed the bulk of older service records. No such problem with Navy/Marines but Army and Air Force were affected severely on records.
Folks that relied on those records for retirement, especially reservists on points, had to recreate their service records by using microfiche etc. I helped one vet do that as I was familiar with microfiche from grad research at the time plus military orders.

There is no weight on atheists to get anything right.
Every discussion is a can to be kicked down the road unless they have a personal interest in it.
In the last couple of years I have run up against the unresolved sloppiness of net--and even published--atheists, and have had to forge a more empirically based resolution myself.
For example, what makes religious people so dumb? Well, it's believing in impossible things, right?
What makes Marxism not an atheist's problem--it's a religion!! (Despite that they don't call themselves a-religionists), and if religions do not contain a belief in a god or Gods, they could easily be a member of any "religion".

I was going to build a container system rather than dual booting which I currently do. But that plan went under with the current elevated costs for building a specced out computer. Been building them since the 90's about every 3-5 years or so.
I rarely use the Windows partition but keep it for my wife who uses Windows and Microsoft Office at work. I use it for taxes only.
But using a linux docker (or other) container system would allow me to decommission some really old computers that I keep simply for Stata, SPSS, some qualititative stat software, graphing software, and Mathcad for projects.
Current expenses for them are way too high as I no longer qualify for faculty/student discounts. Was learning R for projects but as I retired, no real reason to relearn the wheel if I want to do a quick and dirty stat analysis of some data.

My guess is legally they have to let you delete your account but like Fakebook, they simply put it in deep storage to be reactivated if you stumble or run across their tracking icons buried on websites. Stinked In along with other social media is all about tracking you so data can be sold about you to everyone.
I have a paid service that does nothing other than kill data on me via databroker acquisitions. And the number of databrokers is proliferating so much that every couple of days, there are new whack a mole databrokers that need to be thwacked with removal requests.
Upside, I rarely get any spam calls nowadays. Getting ready to go medieval on spam email by moving mission critical emails to another service and nuking the one I have used for decades now.
Considered several years ramping up an old computer to run my own mail server but really don't want the security hassle of doing it.
Aliases make that less appealing now as well. Simply use throwaway email aliases on all the stupid forms required to create accounts and channel all those sold emails to the trash heap.

Tennessee Strips Democrat Racial Insurrectionists of Their Committee Seats
Sean DavisThey want a civil war.
@seanmdav BREAKING: Notice has just been given to Democrats in the Tennessee House that all members of the Democrat Caucus are being removed from all standing committees and subcommittees as a result of their behavior in the statehouse during the redistricting debates last week, which included setting fires inside the Capitol and attacking law enforcement. In the state of Tennessee, political terrorism will not be tolerated. National Republicans take note that this is how you exercise power.
The Republican speaker of Tennessee's House of Representatives on Tuesday stripped Democratic lawmakers of all committee assignments as punishment for their role in boisterous protests during last week's special session on redistricting.
The leftwing media -- which told us that some people milling through Congress was an insurrection that threatened the republic -- calls Democrat legislators' attempt to shut down the legislature by letting their activist goons menace the Republican majority "boisterous." Boisterous. Not a threat, not an insurrection. Just Democrats will be Democrats. No big deal.
... The House floor vote in Nashville was met with raucous protests by activists yelling from the balcony of the visitors' gallery and from Black lawmakers who stood at the front of the chamber linking arms in prayer as protesters sounded air horns and chanted slogans against the new map.Not threatening. Not "racially charged." "Raucous."
... In a letter to Tennessee's House Democratic leader Karen Camper, the speaker, Cameron Sexton, said House Democrats were being removed from all standing committees and subcommittees as discipline for "instigating and encouraging" disruptions and "disorder on the House floor" during last Thursday's vote. As examples, he cited lawmakers for "interlocking arms in the well of the House", for "blocking aisles on the House floor" and for using "prohibited props and noisemakers." Of the 99 seats in the Tennessee House, Republicans hold 75 and Democrats 24.

🚨 JUST IN — FAFO: Tennessee Speaker of the House REMOVES Democrat lawmakers from *ALL* committee assignments who acted like thugs and trash when the legislature passed redistricting

Tennessee State Representative Justin Pearson (D-Memphis) was accused of using "race baiting" in his campaign advertisement announcing the relaunch of his campaign for the Democratic nomination for the 9th Congressional District, where first launched his campaign to unseat U.S. Representative Steve Cohen (D-TN-09) before the Governor Bill Lee signed the newly redrawn districts into law. As part of the redistricting legislation, candidates must refile or file a notice that they no longer intend to run by Friday. In his video, Pearson confirmed he intends to run in the same district, despite most analysts saying it now leans overwhelmingly Republican. "Today, we re-launch our campaign to take on billionaires and the political status quo. Whether you live in the new TN-09, the old TN-09, or anywhere that our systems have failed you, I'm running for Congress for all of US," wrote Pearson in a post to social media. Pearson described the redistricting as "immoral and wrong" in his advertisement, before claiming Tennessee's redrawn congressional districts, "are racist tools of white supremacy," enacted "at the behest of the most white supremacist in the United States of America, Donald J. Trump."It's always these weedy little black shrimpdick manlets who turn ultra-hard-core racist, to show how "hard" they are. It's their way of attempting to appear masculine. It's called Spike Lee Syndrome.
Crow updates: The crow continues visiting. Have you ever had eggs freeze in the refrigerator? I had two freeze so I broke them open and put them out for the crow. He loved them. There was an incident -- I found a dead little baby bird in the feeder. I don't know what happened. I don't know if it was the crow or a bluejay or what. Maybe a pigeon -- I see them being pretty territorial with the other birds. One pigeon just sits his fat ass down in the feeding tray to claim ownership of the seeds and nuts. I went out on the deck while the crow was eating the last of the egg and tossed him some of the cinnamon cereal I gave him on the first day of attempting to befriend him. He didn't fly away, he just ate the cereal. Still no gifts. Oh, I don't know if the crow caller works at all. It doesn't sound too much like a crow to me. Just a raspy honking kazoo, really. It sounds like Jake Tapper after a night of drinking Zima and puffing on a vape with cum-flavored nicotine. What really seems to attract the crow is the smell of meat or egg. How are you? Any luck for the other crow-recruitment officers?

I’m a white liberal, wine‑drinking Nashville grandma, and it breaks my heart to see what Republican politicians are doing to this state. How can they tell so many of us our voices and concerns simply don’t matter?
The protests at the Capitol were inspiring, but the response from our leaders was painful to watch. I keep writing my representatives, even though they don’t acknowledge me. My hope now is that history will eventually show how wrong this moment was.
The worst part is they are so openly hostile that if you tell them that after they've had a couple of glasses of wine they'll tell you how they really feel and it isn't pretty.
The South wasn’t punished enough after the civil war, and I’ll die on that hill. The southern elite should have hung from the gallows as the traitors they were. Their property and weath distributed to the humans they enslaved. Allowing them to keep their wealth and influence was one of the biggest mistakes in our country's history.

They do that. Seen parent sparrows attacking a crow with their youngun gripped in the crow's claws flying away with it.
Nature is pretty cruel with predators and victim species. The victim species breed faster and that makes the predators necessary to prevent explosions of the victims. Mess with one of the other side of the equation, unintended consequences happen in the ecology.

Also poor history. A lot of the Southern planter aristocracy was wiped out by the war either directly or via finances--big plantations were often taken over by rich Northerners (aka carpet baggers) by tax sales, owing debts but losing their collateral which were slaves, and other strategies. Same for scalawags. Not saying it was not justified but the ACW ruined Southern aristocratic planter class in general to the extent it became a cliche. The current crop of Southern GOP types arose from corporations in the 1950's and 1960's and defense/government spending boom from the 1940s to 1970's.
During the Reconstruction, a lot of history was made and it was not pretty in the defeated South.
Had occasion to read contemporary accounts of GA and South Carolina during Reconstruction because of a research project into state constitutions. States in the South had to revise their constitutions under federal mandate for readmission to the Union.
As soon as Reconstruction ended, most Southern states rewrote their Constitutions, in part, because of their Reconstruction experiences.

There is a pattern, it is consistently the older, more established Country Club aka Bush era types that are stalling in the legislatures. They really want to return to that era. These are the type that have become fat, lazy, and wealthy in over the years by brokering deals, particularly real estate and industrial development and don't want that affected. They don't care about their fellow citizens nor how they have to live. They consider those beneath their perceived social class as trash and don't really care how their poor governance affects them. Socialize the costs, privatize the gains.
Seen it over and over again in Southern politics and while this generation of Southern politicians are not the Southern Democrats of old, they simply took over and adopted the same methods absent the racialist Democrat ethos.

San Francisco parent advocates are furious over what they call an “unvetted and illegal” ethnic studies course that was rammed through without meaningful input — citing divisive lesson plans like a “privilege wheel” that sorts student into an “oppressor/oppressed framework,” according to a legal warning sent to city leaders.
The Friends of Lowell Foundation, which advocates for academic merit at San Francisco’s premier public magnet school Lowell High, blasted a year-long ethnic studies course just permanently adopted by San Francisco Unified School District — making it a requirement for ninth graders.
The scathing letter accuses the San Francisco Board of Education and district leaders of quietly pushing a $7 million, required course for ninth graders called “Voices” that has largely been concealed from concerned parents.

I would actually argue learn to shoot your weapon under a variety of circumstances and know the law. Training is important to know when and how to shoot. Plus I would recommend people get training in first aid including treating shooting wounds and have supplies on hand.
If ammo buying is getting in the way of that training and resources, then simply stockpiling more ammo means that someone will enjoy that stockpile but not the person buying it.
The time is now to create a security plan for families that includes weather, geologic, power and water disruption, hardening your home's security, and creating bugout bags. And making sure everyone in the household knows their tasks.

She had a scold of Karen respond to her to leave those poor people alone.
The question unanswered...why is their a homeless encampment...now. And the reason no one wants to talk about it is because the town's left-squish government is allowing it.

And you assume that ballots equal voters. There is a reason that voter fraud is rife in urban areas and that is from vote harvesting and outright cheating. That is what the rotten borough system has created. Pestilent fraudulent urban governments that do not have legitimate elections and have not had them for decades. Mostly with Republican acquiescence to avoid unrest from what are essentially Democrat mobs and Democrat mafiosi running these places.

Tried to organize a Neighborhood Preparedness Group (NPG) back then, but virtually none of our nearby neighbors interested -- despite the vast majority of our neighbors being conservative and retired (several military veterans).

"The court granted Trump’s request to pause that ruling, citing no objection from Carroll so long as Trump agreed to raise the bond by $7.46 million to account for interest that would accrue on her award during further legal proceedings that are expected to extend to the Supreme Court."
“We are pleased that the Second Circuit conditioned the stay on President Trump posting a bond of nearly $100 million,” Carroll’s attorney, Roberta Kaplan, told NBC News in a statement, citing the earlier increase Trump already posted to bring the amount owed to over $91 million prior to Monday’s order."

She is a talented singer but apparently not fantastic enough or came around late enough that her breed of music got pushed aside by cRAP and people like Taylor Swift.
Crow's first breakthrough album relied on session musician friends (later version of the Wrecking Crew) from LA playing on it. Smash hit, but her second album sold less (sophomore slump), and subsequently her career flatlined. People kind of know who she is but remember only her first album hits.

One of my SiLs is married to a raisin farmer out here (he knows VDH from farming, who lives about 10-15 miles away). They had a farm cat named Jorge, who was standoffish with anyone outside of the immediate family except me, for some reason.
When I'd go over and house-sit for them on weekends when they were at their mountain cabin or traveling, Jorge would hunt down a mouse, bring it over when we were having breakfast on the patio before they left. He'd gleefully throw the mouse carcass in the air repeatedly, right next to the picnic table, while Jimmy would sit there and laugh, saying "goooood kitty!"

And I just noticed an article where someone living in Santa Monica CA was installing razor strips on top of a masonry wall to prevent climbing over them. They had gotten robbed in that house prior to those strips being installed.

I was early to an inspection recently, so sat outside the building in my car a bit. Saw a robin pulling a worm out of the ground. Suddenly, two house sparrows landed next to him and started attacking. They scrapped for quite a bit before the sparrows flew off. Really weird. Big, open grassy area, so no nests were nearby.

People are weird and we should never assume that our wants and needs are universal. Some people have very high sex drives and that is their norm to screw everything and everyone around them. Some people are forced into virtual sex slavery and hate it.
But someone like Bonnie Blue (the one that sets up these ridiculous public gangbangs in Australia) that arranges gang bangs does it because she likes it or the attention/money from it. Her mental state to us is a black box to the extent that we think from the outside that she could not possibly enjoy that--but mebbe she does. Same as a serial killer, a pedophile, con man, etc.
As it has always been, humanity runs the gamut from stone cold killers to saints with most of humanity in between those extremes.

Wednesday Morning Rant
The State Department, May 11, 2026:
The United States did not participate in the International Migration Review Forum and will not support the May 8 "progress" declaration. The United States has persistently objected to the United Nations' efforts to advocate and facilitate replacement immigration in the United States and across the broader West. In 2017, President Trump rejected the Global Compact on Migration. The intervening years have confirmed the wisdom of that opposition.And in keeping with that, from PJ Media on the same date:
...
President Trump is focused on the interests of Americans, not foreigners or globalist bureaucrats. The United States will not support a process that imposes, overtly or by stealth, guidelines, standards, or commitments that constrain the American people’s sovereign, democratic right to make decisions in the best interests of our country. Our goal is not to "manage" migration, but to foster remigration.
"The number of people receiving a decision of voluntary departure has risen dramatically since the change in presidential administration," writes non-profit Vera Institute of Justice in a report, "particularly among people who were detained. Judges appointed by the second Trump administration have granted voluntary departure at higher rates than judges with more experience - while still granting orders of removal at comparable rates."As Ace covered last week and as reported in The Hill, it isn't just rejection of the globalists' immigration schemes and stepped up removal of illegals, it's also now denaturalization:
Federal prosecutors filed denaturalization actions in U.S. District Courts across the country this week against 12 people, alleging they lied during the naturalization process, including about previous criminal behavior. The DOJ said these people -- ranging in age from 28 to 75 years -- concealed serious offenses while seeking legal status, including providing material support to a terrorist group, war crimes and sexual abuse of a minor.So that's a smattering of developments from over here over the past week - but what about over there? It is, of course, the opposite. In Labour's Britain, it's still all about "accommodation," of course:
Chris Philp, the Shadow Home Secretary, urged Labour to "come clean" about where they plan to send illegal migrants, commenting: "The truth is that they are moving illegal immigrants from asylum hotels to residential housing because they do not have control of our borders."Not removed, just moved. And subsidized. And the locals' preferences be damned. Pretty normal. Not that this problem is limited to the north:
...
His warning has already become a "nightmare" reality for Crowborough residents. All 350 male migrants live a mere 20-minute walk from the town centre and are able to freely roam without a curfew. Residents are also entitled to a £50 weekly allowance to pay for basic amenities, such as food, clothing, and toiletries. The Home Office confirmed the Crowborough site could house as many as 540 people. They will stay in the barracks for up to three months while their asylum claims are processed.
Greek Migration Minister Thanos Plevris said this week that Athens estimates there are approximately 550,000 migrants waiting in Libya, the African hub, for the opportunity to cross to Europe. Pelvris said that Athens is working closely with Libyan authorities as well as the European Union’s external border force Frontex to prevent migrant boats from taking off from the coastline of the Maghreb nation.Remember the constant "caravans" from Central America during non-Trump years? This is the Afro-European version of that. Do you remember what happened to those "caravans" once Trump took over? They stopped pretty quickly. These "caravans" do not happen spontaneously. They are funded, coordinated and managed by governments, NGOs and associated gangs. If you turn off the "government" side of that - including throttling the state sponsorship of NGOs - they stop. That this is getting geared up in Libya means only that it will succeed. They don't bother if it won't. Europe is as bad as ever. But there is perhaps no greater contrast than between the US and Australia. While the US is denaturalizaling and deporting criminals, Australia is moving mountains to ensure they get to stay:
After his permanent visa was cancelled following his 2021 conviction Al Qatrani made an application to revoke the cancellation, which was refused in February this year, but last week he successfully reviewed the decision at the Administrative Appeals Tribunal in Sydney. ART Senior Member Mark Harrowell overturned the cancellation using Ministerial Direction 110, which has been maintained by immigration minister Tony Burke since 2024, and has resulted in dozens of serious criminals being spared deportation in recent months.We don't have a monopoly on Hawaiian Judges - or Hawaiian Ministers. This all is - or should be - abjectly humiliating for the rest of the Western world. We have a long, long way to go until the US is cleaned up and some of the incalculable damage of the past thirty years is undone, but at least we are trying to deal with it and taking real steps to not only stop the influx but to reverse it. The rest of the West is the opposite and is still business-as-usual and full throttle on open borders, with the glorious masters in the warrens of their bureaucracies and at the United Nations leading the way as always. Maybe the other benighted nations of the West will eventually tire of it and get some Trumps of their own.
...
Mr Harrowell noted in his decision that Al Qatrani has two minor children aged 9 and 11 with his current wife - a South Korean national who he met in 2009, and an adult son with his first wife, and that he claimed he was a 'changed man from the one sentenced to the crime I was convicted of nine years ago.

At a local council meeting in Crowborough, a resident asked, "How do you plan to meet the sexual needs of 600 men?" in response to plans to house hundreds of young, single male asylum seekers at the local army training camp. This question reflects significant concerns from community members regarding safety and infrastructure.

An Antifa "journalist" who was prominent in the Portland riots of 2020:
Portland bar and club managers talk about "It" happening like medieval Europeans talked about Prester John. Times are bleak now, lads, but one elderly man's failing organs are all that stand between us and 150 million Americans launching a drinking binge.
A staffer for a prominent Portland politician replies:
Used to think a blazers championship victory would be the wildest Portland night conceivable but i increasingly have my doubts, and at this point i think It Happening is a lot more imminent anyway
would be the greatest troll ever if somehow the municipal government could declare it a citywide holiday. Fox News would have a stroke
The Second Civil War isn't going to be nearly as much fun in Portland as they think it will be.

I guess the big problem is this-
the illegal genocide via illegal migration in Europe occurred peacefully.
The massive re-migration of illegals and foreign scumbag criminals and leeches will almost certainly involve organized violence...and lots of it.
The longer the Europoors wait the harder it will be.
I suspect most Euro nations will wind up divided into a large muslim zone and a smaller original inhabitants zone.
Like East and West Germany writ large and much much crappier and unstable.

I've been on a Jules Verne kick lately, and am currently reading Around the World in 80 Days, published in 1872. There is a chapter in which the protagonists (including a Frenchman) rescue a young woman from being subjected to suttee, which they describe as barbaric. One wonders if today's people could bring themselves to state it so plainly and accurately.

The "expert" class (bureaucrats, academia, journalism, "public intellectuals", "thought leaders") thinks of its consensus and all its conclusions like they were physical law, like the speed of light or the atomic mass of cobalt.
Reagan before him and now Trump say, "It ain't necessarily so." In 1980, we were told by our betters that the Soviet Union wasn't going anywhere and nothing would be served by cutting taxes. Reagan refused to accept that, with the results seen.
Trump, too, refuses to assume the consensus. Illegal immigration? Enforce the law. Iran? Take them head on. China? It can be weakened and contained.

Their consensus usually isn't even consensus. They just name their favored opinion a consensus, and use it as a beating stick to keep anyone who says otherwise in line. Easy to find consensus at the end of a gun.

Yep. Design is standardized more or less and it is likely that the new battleship class would use the same nuclear reactors that the Ford class of carriers do.
That also gives enough power to run rail guns and the possible longer distance high power lasers. Japan and the US have revived railguns and I think the Japanese are actually on the verge of deploying one.

Los Angeles lawmakers told police to stop pulling drivers over for minor issues because they say it affects too many black and brown people.
The city council voted unanimously on May 6 to recommend banning “pretextual” traffic stops over issues such as broken taillights, leaving it up to the Los Angeles Board of Police Commissioners to consider the policy, city records and local media coverage show. The vote followed a March 3 report from the board finding that the vast majority of those stopped were black or Hispanic since 2022.

Is there a count of the rate of denied voluntary depature? For both sets (older judges vs. recently-appointed).
Only good reason I can think of to deny the request is if there's an open criminal investigation and the prosecuters don't want them running away. But I wouldn't put it past the kings in black robes to somehow block it, even if both parties wanted it.

Here is a story about Japanese naval rail gun trials.
https://tinyurl.com/Rail-Gun-Naval-news
Money quote.
"On the other hand, damage caused by heat from the high current flowing through the rail and wear from contact between the armature and the rail is a problem. As the surface of the rail is eroded by this, it leads to performance degradation, such as a reduction in muzzle velocity. Therefore, copper was initially used as the material for the barrel rail, but was changed to a different blend of metals and other materials throughout the research. As a result, it was confirmed that no significant damage occurred to the barrel rail even after 120 rounds were fired."

Went to the TexxasJam at the Cotton Bowl one year. There was a scaffold tower at the center 20 yard line for speakers and the sound board. The top was covered with tarps due to it being summer in Texas. Some dude managed to climb the tower and get to the top and started his epic air guitar show while Whitesnake was performing.
It took them quite a while to get him to come down.

Moe Howard wanted Mantan Moreland to be the third Stooge after Shemp's death in 1955, but Columbia insisted on someone already under contract, which is why Joe Besser got the role. Moe really liked Moreland, who appeared in several Stooge shorts.

Indulge in an unforgettable culinary journey curated by Chicago's acclaimed Chef Cliff Rome.

This is more than a meal—it's an invitation to savor the powerful role food plays in enriching our lives and strengthening our community."

Former President Barack Obama joined Democrat nominees for the Senate and Gubernatorial races James Talarico and Gina Hinajosa for an event in Texas’ deep-blue capital of Austin. Talarico could be spotted with a jarring smile in the photograph.
Obama isn’t the only national figure that state Democrats have turned to in hopes of flipping the Senate seat. The guest of honor for the state Democratic convention is slated to be Sen. Bernie Sanders, the radical socialist who helped boost race-communist Zohran Mamdani into Gracie Mansion last November. Sen. Cory Booker and Gov. JB Pritzker will also be campaigning for fellow Democrats in the state.

I don't think the natives of that time thought of themselves as not a single block of people; they thought of themselves as Crow, or Cherokee, or Seminole, but not as "Indians", and they hated and murdered members of other tribes.

Not familiar with the Mandan. Went to Wiki.
https://w.wiki/EfZo
Mandan population was 3,600 in the early 18th century. It is estimated to have been 10,000–15,000 before European encounter. Decimated by a widespread smallpox epidemic in 1781, the people had to abandon several villages, and remnants of the Hidatsa also gathered with them in a reduced number of villages. In 1836, there were more than 1,600 full-blood Mandans but, following another smallpox epidemic in 1836–37, this number was estimated to have dropped to 125 by 1838.
In the 20th century, the people began to recover. In the 1990s, 6,000 people were enrolled in the Three Affiliated Tribes.[3] In the 2010 Census, 1,171 people reported Mandan ancestry. Some 365 of them identified as full-bloods, and 806 had partial Mandan ancestry.

It's an economic miracle!
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani
@NYCMayor
When we came into office, we uncovered a $12 billion budget deficit.
Today, I’m proud to say we brought it down to zero.
We didn’t close the gap on the backs of working people.
We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets and making historic investments in public housing.
Call it Pothole Politics. Call it Democratic Socialism. It's government that delivers for the people who make this city run.
That’s what New Yorkers deserve. And that’s what we will keep fighting for every single day.

The South Carolina Supreme Court on Wednesday overturned Alex Murdaugh’s murder convictions and ordered a new trial in the killing of his wife and son in June 2021, saying the trial was marred by the “improper” influence of the county clerk Becky Hill.
“Although we are aware of the time, money, and effort expended for this lengthy trial, we have no choice but to reverse the denial of Murdaugh’s motion for a new trial due to Hill’s improper external influences on the jury and remand for a new trial,” the justices wrote in a 5-0 vote.

The Morning Report — 5/ 13/26
The party considered all kinds of responses — including a scheme to force the retirement of every sitting justice on the Virginia Supreme Court. That's a perfectly normal reaction from a political party that claims they respect democratic norms, right? But they weren’t done. Marc Elias, the left's go-to power lawyer for all things election-related, took the rhetoric to a genuinely alarming place. Elias responded to the ruling by invoking language from the Virginia Constitution itself. Not to make a legal argument, but to suggest that the current Virginia government has lost its legitimacy and therefore can and should be abolished. I assure you that I am not joking.
And no they are NOT joking either, as the past 70-200 years have shown!!!

In the final weeks of Joe Biden’s presidency, FBI agents tied to Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation memorialized anew their belief that President Donald Trump broke the law in contesting the 2020 election and secretly arranged to preserve their evidence until 2030 in memos that raise alarm they could revive their prosecution after Trump leaves office.

From a comment following the article:
"Be prepared for married clergy, normalization of same sex marriages, acceptance of transgender clergy, tacit acceptance of abortion and euthanasia"
Pope Leo has already said he will not endorse same sex marriages , and he's been pretty clear about his opposition to abortion, and transgender clergy- I don't think so.

Rep. Gina Hinojosa, D-Austin, asked whether the enrollment decline could affect the teacher retirement system.
“Have you looked at the impact that this decline will have on the viability of the teacher retirement system?” Hinojosa said.
This system isn’t built for kids, it’s built for unions. And until that changes, the system will abuse and fail kids just like a Dickensian orphanage.
The obvious answer is to transition away from TRS to 401k accounts for teachers (and any other government workers getting an old style pension). There is a reason why industry moved away from pensions long ago.

Go for it! I was in the "She should run for senate against Schumer" camp, but if she is going to enter the presidential race as a front runner, I am on board.
I would vote for her, as I did Clinton and Harris. But do we really think running a woman will work? In 2016 and 2024 the woman was BY FAR the best candidate. Yet they lost. I just think it's a mistake and a lesson not learned.
This feels too hopeful like Bernie, and will probably be rejected but I've been saying for about 6 years at least, AOC 2028
I'll support whatever she does, but I'm not excited to watch *another* incredibly capable woman lose to the worst possible option because of her gender...
Please AOC, run for senate and let's get Schumer the fuck outta here instead 🙏

Juan is derived from Hebrew, meaning "God is gracious," and has a long history in Spanish-speaking cultures.
Lynn is of English origin, meaning "pool" or "lake".
Together, Juandalynn can be interpreted as "God is gracious by the lake" or "God's grace near the waterfall".

0.1%. One dollar in a thousand. That is the pattern I have noticed in news stories about corrupt officials accepting bribes to steer inflated contracts: they actually get very little, even when you adjust for the (under-sized) cost. It makes sense; they can't openly solicit bids for who's willing to offer the biggest share, and their partner in crime knows that it isn't costing them anything (since they're selling what isn't theirs).

The journalist and writer Rod Dreher publicly questioned the recognition by recalling the internal repressions of the Iranian regime, while in other comments, X users denounce that Iran maintains the death penalty for Muslims converted to Christianity..."

There is NO guarantee that any new government arising from the ashes will resemble the government the Dems want. Because the rural regions will suddenly have a rather loud voice in how things are run, since no one will be able to arrest them for standing up for their rights.

Tucker Carlson called it "evil" when Ben Shapiro suggested Americans should move away from their hometowns toward opportunity.
What Tucker is calling evil is one of the most biblical—and one of the most American—things a person can do: Go from your country and your kindred and your father's house to the land that I will show you.
But the real story is bigger than Tucker.
The left and the populist right are now selling the exact same product: the belief that you don’t have agency, you are a victim, that the world is rigged, and that the only thing left to do is find the enemy and punish him.

It's also difficult for the other party to react to.
I had to deal with a narcissistic lying shitstain of a human every day for quite some time and oh boy did he HATE it when I complimented him in front of other people. Just hated it. They just don't know what to do with it, and you can tell how much they resent you when you do it. So can others.

This is the first test for "version 3", the 100 ton capacity ship going into orbit. It's a big deal. Ultimately, they will double the lift capacity to 200 tons, but this is a big step toward getting loads into orbit big enough to build in-space refueling, a moon station, and the Heinlein-inspired moon catapult.
Big plans hinge on this test.

The only reason I think they have such a love for trains is that they went to Europe or Japan on a trip and decided that this was the Way of the Future.™
Posted by: NR Pax at May 13, 2026 09:04 AM (RjOoY)
I don't know about the wave of the future, but-
It's a delight to ride on Japanese trains. They're well-run, on time, clean, and safe.
European trains less so, British rails barf, and American trains, sadly, are only fit for vomitting plague cats.
Do I want to give up my car? Nope.
However, if I lived in a faro-out suburb and had to drive into town every day, and had a train like the Japanese trains to ride....yeah, I'd do that.

The left's final take on that argument is:
We never told anyone the counting was going to stop or told republican observers to go home. They just did it all by their own volition for some unknown reason.
And yes their is plenty of video refuting this but they do not care.

As mentioned here before, the CCP doesn't care if 500 million Chinese perish in a thermonuclear blast, as long as party leadership is warm, dry, and well-fed in a cozy bunker.
Zotzing Trump, Musk, and a dozen American leaders in one stroke like what happened Feb 28 in Iran isn't an impossible conjecture if it's calculated to work in their favor.

Top Story
- Google's Googlebook is the company's answer to Google's Chromebook. (Tom's Hardware)
It's a laptop running Android.
Which raises the question: Why didn't the Chromebook run Android in the first place?
There are no specs or indeed any hardware information at all; that will be left to Google's partners including Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, and Lenovo.
It might potentially be a good time to be launching a laptop that doesn't need 32GB of RAM to get out of bed - as indicated by the runaway success of Apple's MacBook Neo. And there's a slim chance that at least one of the partner companies won't screw things up.
Tech News
- TokenSpam. (Tom's Hardware)
These people are literally retarded.
Amazon is requiring its developers to use AI tools to boost productivity. I mean, fair enough up to a point; I use Claude to review code and it catches conceptual issues and pattern mismatches that my IDE can't.
But Amazon is measuring productivity by the amount each developer costs the company on their AI tool usage, with perfectly predictable results.
- Microsoft is constructing a new datacenter in Kenya that will - if completed - use half the power of the entire country. (Tom's Hardware)
That's a bit of an overstatement; the number is closer to 40%.
- Micron is sampling 256GB DDR5 modules running at 9200MHz. (WCCFTech)
You can't have one.
- The EU is cracking down on TikTok and Instagram because they are... Popular. (CNBC)
Honestly, that seems to be it.
Time to cut the cables.
There is an official music video of this but it seems to be restricted, so that's a reuploaded version. Just in case, here is the official videoless version as well.

IIRC, Gavin Newsom's wife Jennifer killed her big sister by running her over with a golf cart. But she was a child (6 years old and her sister was and it was ruled an accident, so now she's sympathetic to all the unlucky killers in prison who didn't get away with it like she did. (I wish I was joking.)

I remember when Alcoa built an aluminum smelter in some African country. It was supposed to be "economic development," practically doing them a favor, and it destabilized their entire power grid.
The whole country. From just one plant.
I think that was a couple decades ago now, but Africa... Africa never changes.

Today I have to call the IRS to get the issue of my refund straightened out. I told them on my return to keep it and apply it to my '26 taxes; they think I want it sent to me, but say I didn't provide a bank account. Well, we're beyond the tax filing period now, and their own website says call volumes are lower Wed. through Friday, so we'll see. Maybe I can get a call back.
Afterward I'll take Miss Linda out to drop off her power bill, and we can get a coffee, I guess.

Oh, they aren't the only ones. The cretins running my current employer are doing similar shit. Some of the lower level managers (like mine) are doing their best shielding efforts, but I expect that to degrade over time (I don't expect them to lose their jobs to save their subordinate's jobs when we all know that the replacement lower level manager has a convenient bus to throw recalcitrant subordinates under within days.)
I didn't go into software to become a Business Analyst (BA); that is a very useful job for a company, if done correctly and well. The specifications that you end up having to give to one of the current AI agents are almost exactly the things that a BA will create. *Shrugs* Good thing my target retirement date is

In the latest news of fiscal responsibility, the State of Maryland has reported that if you have not gotten your State tax refund yet, it could be a while.
The State does not have the funds available to make the remaining refund payments, and needs to delay the issuing of refunds.

There is a work acquaintance, a very smart man at his job, who has interesting views on Africa. A black guy, He believes Africa is being held back by the US and Europe. He then started singing the praises of China and its development of Africa. He believes the US will be left behind by Africa because the world is abandoning America. He's in a powerful position at work so I kept my mouth shut. Even smart people can be enraptured by dumb ideas. Orwell's quote about intellectuals comes to mind.

I think that the kindest thing you could do is encourage him to have a real long African trip, preferably an immersion experience. If he's religious, a mission through his church. If he's secular and entrepreneurial, maybe some kind of economic development type thing -- surely he can do like the Chinese, but better! Or if nothing else, at least an "immersion experience" of some kind, to "connect with his roots" or whatever.
There is a meta, "In {African country}, the difference between a tourist and a racist is {number} weeks." It may break his heart to have his illusions shattered, but it is better to deal with the world as it is than to be a pseudo-schizophrenic from sheer ignorance. Well, certainly better for you than having to bite your tongue all the time.

Sonofabitchin' AKC website is down for maintenance. The quest to fill in the blank spaces in Dutch's show career - absent any contemporaneous record - has to wait.
The AKC has him at 579 Grand Champion points and I can only account for 543 of them. He was shown only for parts of 2013, when he was recovering from bloat and torsion, and 2015 before his final illness. So I'm looking for "open" weekends on my spreadsheet and seeing if he was at any shows in TX, LA, MS or AR in that time.

She is campaigning for the UK to pay slave reparations. Her father, now deceased, became fabulously rich due to oil, gas, and minerals. On her mother's side she is considered a princess of Nigeria.
It is the Nigerian side that is drawing the most scrutiny. Seems her great grandfather was King of Lagos and the British deposed him because he was in the slave trade. Another relative owned 1,400 slaves.

You are right, I have always known about man. From the evidence, I believe his wisdom must walk hand and hand with his idiocy. His emotions must rule his brain. He must be a warlike creature who gives battle to everything around him, even himself.

Quick summary: MIL supposedly had a Power of Attorney written out. She insists that she gave my wife a copy. Nope. And of course she doesn't know where it is.
Co-worker pointed out that we could have a Word document drawn up that covers the POA and get it notarized. And my job does notarization for free.
Life, she is good. I'm going to handle this.

What you can do with AI is nothing short of magical.
I was working with the database for my ERP last night, typically use either pgadmin or pgcli, which are great but are deep, I worked with two agents to craft my own electron app to work with and create databases. Two hours total from start to finish and it looks better and operate better than anything currently on the market in my opinion.
So people who have vastly more software knowledge and experience than should be creating paradigm shifting software.

Well wouldn’t you know it, Nick Kristof and the NYT had to get out their horseshit, Der Stürmer-worthy op-ed just before Silenced No More was published. They were right to be nervous. This is a gruesome tidal wave of verified, ice-cold, damning evidence, which painstakingly documents the horrific sexual abuse committed by Hamas and Gazan “civilians.”
It’s available now for all to see.
...Not rumor. Not “social media misinformation.” Not partisan fantasy. Not the New York Times. This is accredited investigative and legal documentation assembled for evidentiary, judicial, academic, and historical purposes.

Unlike WinOs, it look functional, elegant and obvious and everything is right their.
The most impressive aspect of it is the ERD diagram module, it looks like it was lifted from the Eraser I/o website. I mean it probably was but that’s not important right now.
What’s important is that software should be markedly better.
And that’s what AIs true utility is for the average person. Soon, you are not going to need software companies to create anything for you, you will be able to create what you want and make it look and function how you want.

Pope Leo XIV bestowed the Vatican’s highest diplomatic honor upon the Islamic Republic’s Ambassador, Ayatollah Mohammad Hossein Mokhtari.
The man is part of a regime that slaughtered 42,000 of its own people and imposes the death penalty on Muslims who convert to Christianity.

Not quite yet. Still have to get the document made but at least there is a solution to the problem.
Kids, when your parents get that old bully them into getting those documents handled while they are mentally able to. Don't accept no as an answer or "I'll get to it later." And once you have that document, scan it, save it in at least three locations AND have several hard copies made.

Crate training has always worked for me. In just a few days, my puppies would go right to the door as a sign that they needed to go outside to potty.
Most people don't have the heart to use a crate for housebreaking, though, because they project human emotions onto their doggie-under-training.

As I noted about database tool I created last night, total number of lines of code generated was 4k lines across 10 modules, in roughly two hours.
It could take an experienced programmer a couple of weeks to a couple of monthsto generate that absent ai.

Tuesday Overnight Open Thread - May 12, 2026 [Doof]
From Amazing Nature
Tuesday night humor While golfing, a guy accidentally overturns his golf cart in a tremendous crash. A very attractive female golfer, who lives in a townhome overlooking the golf course, hears the crash and calls out, "Are you okay?" "I'm okay, thanks," says the guy, as he pulls himself from the twisted golf cart wreck. She says, "Come up to my home, you can recover for a bit, and I'll help you with the golf cart up later." Even being a bit dizzy, the guy couldn’t help but notice that her bathrobe was partially open, revealing what appeared to be an amazing figure. "That's mighty nice of you," he answers, "but I really don't think my wife would approve" "Oh, come on now." she insists. She was so pretty, so very persuasive, and the guy was so relatively dazed! "Well okay, but I'm quite sure my wife won't be happy with me" After a couple of gin and tonics, he thanks her and says, "I feel a lot better, and know that my wife is going to be really upset, so I'd best leave now." "Don't be silly!" she said with a coquettish smile, letting her robe fall even slightly more open. "Stay for a while. She won't know a thing, we can have another drink” then she asks, by the way, “where is she, anyway?" The guy replies, "Probably still under the cart, if I were to bet"

China Eastern Airlines Flight 5735 smashed into a mountain at 350mph in Guangxi after the captain intentionally brought down the aircraft, newly surfaced data reveals.
Chinese authorities have known for four years that a pilot deliberately crashed, US authorities claim...took place after one of the three airmen on board shut down both engines & turned off auto-pilot...
Suppressive Chinese authorities claimed last year that releasing information related to the disaster could “endanger national security & social stability”.
...Intentionally crashing has proved to be one of the leading causes of plane disasters in recent years, reports say. It was the second most common cause of plane deaths from 2011 to 2020, Bloomberg reported.

Salmonella was easier on me than this.
I needed to whine as my husband is not enough when I call him. He's been forbidden to enter our bedroom/bath for 3 days as if he gets it we will be going to the hospital.
I don't know what I did to deserve this. On the bright side I am losing a lot of weight. Unless I collapse tomorrow from exhaustion, whack my head, and die quietly near the toilet. Which would be fitting, all things considered.
Hope you are all doing well. We could be in WW3 or WW Triple I (Omar) for all I know.

What kind of grass is it? Volunteer.
I have clumps of 'weeds' in places. They grow about 4 to 5' high in proper weather. Also if the weather is right they bloom at the very top with a golden pyramid. Looks like an Indian (arrow) headdress.

Yes, they have a sprinkler system. And I think they aerate once a year. Apply fertilizer maybe once a year...
They drive on it! Park on it! All the time!
They have 2 dogs and 2 rambunctious boys that play on it daily! Heck, the kids even have little 4-wheelers that they drive around on it!
And they've only had to mow about every other, or every third week.
My sh1tty pasture grass (and other weedy crap) grows so fast that I've been mowing every 4 or 5 days to keep it down. LOL

I don't think there's much middle ground, either Trump got us stuck in the Gulf or he's playing with his food, rag dolling them. I can't be certain, but I'm leaning towards the latter. I think he's trying to throw some doubt into the CCP.

I thinking ok, maybe I'll have it treated since I'm not the one that has to cut it, so if it grows fast screw it. I had it treated, withing a week or so it was a dust bowl. Huge patches of nothing.

You should ask the Dr. what difference it might make for him. I have a node (non-cancerous) on my thyroid, and the only problems I have with it are:
--The fact that it feels like I have a popcorn husk or something, stuck way down on the back of my tongue and it sometimes triggers gag reflex.
--I can't tolerate temperature extremes, particularly *heat* now.
--Metabolism seems to go up and down dramatically within hours or days.

Once upon a time I was the first on the air in the Midwest to play Joni Mitchel's Blue album. I introduced it to say the name of the album was "Blue," the name of the lead song was "Blue," the cover of the album was blue, and the LP inside was blue.
Actually got a call from a listener asking if the disk was really blue. Had to admit I made that part up. Wow! I had at least one listener!
The mighty five-watt WBCR-FM 88.1. With a good stiff wind out of the north you could pick us up in Rockford.

Hubby and I are old. He's 80 and I'm not far behind, lol.
We have a lawn service and they keep the yard neat and tidy.
The asshole neighbor has lots of "suggestions " for our yard.
Fuck him and the horse he rode in on, lmao.
Posted by: four seasons at May 13, 2026 12:50 AM (3ek7K)
My neighbors are decently spread out, but we all have the same semi shitty lawns, so nobody complains. The soil is a little sandy. The guy across the street from me did a new septic system. By the time he was done his yard was totally dirt, with all new top soil, new seed, covered in hay. New stuff grew, and a year later it looks like shit, like the rest of us. None of the lawns are actually bad, but they aren't putting green. Most have multiple shades of green.

Of course, they can restrict it during shortages-- usually by limiting the hours of the day/days of the week for allowed usage. 1st offense is a warning, 2nd offense they shut it off for the remainder of season. (May thru mid-October)

Okay, lol.
We've always had dogs. We had Great Danes, half sisters. They were so wonderful.
We were on a regular pickup for a charity organization.
One morning on the day for the pickup the Danes had huge shit accidents in the house.
Hubby said for me to go to the USO where I volunteered and he would clean up the dog mess.
Well he put the black trash bags with the dog shit outside where the charity always picked the bags with the donations.
He forgot the bags of stuff we were donating. Needless to say the driver for the charity was pissed later when Great Dane shit permeated his truck, lol.

We lived in a suburb of Chicago several years ago. We had a lot of landscaping done around the half circle driveway. Lots of pavers etc.
I hired a guy to do the snow removal. I had no idea he was a drunk.
One early morning hubby woke me up and said all the pavers and landscaping was out in the street. He had to catch the train into Chicago.
Lots of luck finding the drunk guy, lol.
It was freezing but I got enough off the street so the neighbors could get by.
Memories, lol.

CNBC incorrectly reported that the Great Jensen Huang, of Nvidia, was not invited to the incredible gathering of the World's Greatest Businessmen/women proudly going to China.
In actuality, Jensen is currently on Air Force One and, unless I ask him to leave, which is highly unlikely, CNBC's reporting is incorrect or, as they say in politics, FAKE NEWS! It is an Honor to have Jensen, Elon, Tim Apple, Larry Fink, Stephen Schwarzmann, Kelly Ortberg (Boeing), Brian Sikes (Cargill), Jane Fraser (Citi), Larry Culp (GE Aerospace), David Solomon (Goldman Sachs), Sanjay Mehrotra (Micron), Cristiano Amon (Qualcomm), and many others journeying to the Great Country of China where I will be asking President Xi, a Leader of extraordinary distinction, to "open up" China so that these brilliant people can work their magic, and help bring the People's Republic to an even higher level!
In fact, I promise, that when we are together, which will be in a matter of hours, I will make that my very first request. I have never seen or heard of any idea that would be more beneficial to our incredible Countries! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Update: Whoops! The below was supposed to be part of the last post. I guess it's just some bonus content.
Related: Biden's Open Borders Czar -- DHS Secretary Alexandro Mayorkas -- at long last admits that maybe they should have enforced the border slightly more than not at all.
President Joe Biden's Homeland Security chief acknowledged Tuesday that the U.S. should have acted sooner to tighten immigration controls at the U.S. border with Mexico. In an interview at the POLITICO Security Summit, former Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, who became a lightning rod of Republican criticism for the Biden administration's alleged mishandling of a historic wave of migration to the United States, placed most of the blame on a "broken immigration system" that set a "low bar" for admission to the country for those with "credible fear of persecution." Asked if earlier steps from the Biden administration on border security -- including raising the bar for migrants claiming "credible fear" of returning to their home country -- would have prevented President Donald Trump's return to the White House, Mayorkas replied: "I am not in a position to speculate, but I will tell you that I would be far more better rested and less punched." Mayorkas, who was impeached by the House in 2024 on claims that he intentionally did not enforce U.S. immigration laws, also emphasized that the Biden administration did, eventually, act to address the migrant influx at the border. "I was very pleased that in June of 2024, we took executive action that, I thought, made reforms that were sensible and that proved successful," Mayorkas said. "Our tougher border stance in June of '24 was coupled with an increased focus on providing lawful pathways for people to arrive at the United States outside the hands of smugglers -- more secure and more humanitarian. Those two combined -- our numbers dropped 70, 75 percent."BTW, I couldn't remember his exact position. I thought he was DHS but decided that there's no way even Biden would appoint such an absolute zero to such a crucial position, so I wrote he was "Secretary of the Interior." But then I checked. Nope, he's was SecDHS.

Let's ask Al Gore's Amazing Internet(TM):
"Republicans have made sharp criticism of Mayorkas' policies and tenure, leading to his impeachment for dereliction of duty in a narrow and largely partisan 214–213 vote by the House of Representatives in 2024. Mayorkas is the first cabinet member to be impeached since William Belknap in 1876. The Senate voted 51–49 to dismiss the impeachment charges on April 17, ending the impeachment without a trial."

Poor Dutch's show career may never be chronicled properly. The AKC says he had 579 Grand Champion points, but I can only account right now for 530 of them. Where are the others? Right now, I have no idea.
The AKC doesn't have searchable records before 2016 and it's 2010-2015 I need. At least he was shown in a limited area and it will be a hard slog going through every club in that area to find the records of past events.

ALERT: McDonald's employee videos herself shoveling French fries into her mouth and then back in the box, and saying, “So you want French fries today, right?”
The incident happened at a McDonald's located in Southbridge, Massachusetts, and was sent as a private message before leaking to the public.
Following the video being seen by the public, the community was outraged.
One local man, Jim, said, “I’m done with this McDonald’s, at least, and I’ll be done for quite a while with fast food.”

Korean counting and time-telling is a mess because of the way they mix traditional Korean and Chinese numbers. If you want to say it's 5:22, that's 5 Korean hours and 22 Chinese minutes. You get to memorize numbers in TWO languages.

🚨South Carolina Redistricting is NOT dead even if Massey & cronies win this vote.
Here’s the next play—
If the senate blocks Redistricting Resolution it goes back to the SC House.
The House can simply nonconcur to Senate changes and refuse to pass a Sine Die Resolution (the resolution that calls them back for a special session).
This would allow the Governor to call a Special Session.
At that special session, Redistricting can pass by a simply majority instead of a 2/3rds vote.
You may say—but the Governor said he won’t call one!
True.
But likely his tune will change.
And even if
@henrymcmaster
doesn’t, the state budget still hasn’t been passed…
Hypothetically if the House doesn’t pass a final version of the budget by 5pm Thursday (adjournment/end of session), then the Governor MUST call them back for a Special Session.

I see this happening across the US after the Callais decision and the upcoming likely ban on after election cheat by mail ballots. The uniparty could only last while the cheating and fraud were not out in the open. Now it is, the old guard is desperately fighting to keep that world alive.
And fwiw, if a special session is called for the budget, the governor cannot limit the topics to be considered. McMasters might as well ride the tide as it won't play the other way to support the dying Rino faction in the SC Senate.

We shall see. Someone termed this correctly. IN SC, you have the Haleyites, Georgia, the Kempites, Indiana, the Pencites, and so on. These are local factions of the country club GOP phenomenon that don't quite get that the world has changed and the old ways do not play anymore. Quite a few of them are befuddled old farts that have grown old, rely on donors to tell them what to do, and think their voters are trash.
They sit with their pontifications from a comfortable perch, espousing their fake as hell self serving Christianity for some, preening in their imagined gravitas and yet fail the very ideal that put them in that seat. Representation of the voters that put them in office.
If they did not want to follow the wishes of their voters on a critical issue, then resignation is a perfectly fine way to express that.

There is an interview with Chrostopher Nolan, apparently, he has had dreams of bringing Homer to the big screen for two decades since the movie Troy.
One of his dreams? Greek warriors hiding in the Trojan Horse breathing through straws as the edifice sinks in the sand. The warriors hoping the Trojans will just drag it in.

Course the Academy Awards will probably give it best picture unless an moving picture of rawdogging love in a Minnesota bathhouse by gay illegal aliens is in competition and him best director unless a female gay autistic amputee of mixed race directs a picture.

Yep. And I would set House of Representative voters back in their home state rather than DC. They can go to DC for ceremonial reasons and keep a skeleton office there. But there is no need anymore for the House to be physically present in order to vote nowadays. Their debates are a joke, their committee hearings would be better off rotated around the country, and that would leave the Senate isolated in its DC wankery.

There are also a lot of people here who don't live in a district or even a state where they know no matter how hard they vote they are not going to win because of how their districts are drawn.
This leads to voters not bothering to turn out and the local party withering. Many Democrats who had a sure win district every single election cycle are about to learn how this works. Many Republicans who haven't bothered to vote are also about to learn.
Just because we bathe in doom around here don't underestimate the power of optimism on people who never had it.

1. Shut off water at angle stop and flush toilet to drain tank.
2. Disconnect water supply and find angle stop isn't holding and is letting water dribble out.
3. Throw down a bath towel and decide to press on rather than crawling into the crawlspace to shut off house water supply.
4. Remove old fill valve from tank. Discover there is more water in the tank than I thought. Throw down another towel.
5. Install new fill valve in tank. Have the wit to run the little fill tube into the overflow pipe.
6. Lay down on floor for access. Attach water supply to fill valve. Open angle stop a little. Close angle stop, mop up more water, then attach water supply correctly. Turn on water. Heave sigh of relief at the lack of leaks.
7. Place hand on closed toilet seat lid to lever myself off the floor. Accessorize cheap toilet seat lid with a giant crack.

If you look at the population of the country at its founding and the size of the House, it was something like 1 rep for every 30K people. Which if you want the same proportion today, you'd end up with a House with 10K reps.
Sounds unworkable at first, but I think it could be done. And people would again be able to actually know their representative in Congress.

If you want to say there are X of something in Japanese, you can only use a generic "counter word" if there are 10 or fewer things. Otherwise, you need to know what you're counting. People, small animals, large animals, flat things, long things, round things, pairs of chopsticks..... there are about 500 of these categories.
Generic counter words: hitotsu, futatsu, mittsu, yottsu..... but these stop at 10.
People: hitori, futari, sannin, yonin.....
Dogs (small animals): ippiki, nihiki, sanbiki, yonhiki.....

Since the redistricting issue has become the center of attention a lot of people have noticed that New England that Republicans get about 40% of the national vote yet have zero representation in the House. Those of us who live here noticed that years ago. Because we live it.
We know we are going to lose outside a miracle and yet we still turn out to take 40% of the vote. Imagine the turnout if we thought we could win. Imagine what will happen to the Democrat vote if they think they can lose.

During the currency crash in 1998, we had to audit a subsidiary that was asking us for cash. They were on the verge of running out because the banks were refusing to extend lines of credit. And the company was literally hand to mouth needing those lines.
So I look at their cash flow statement, and it shows 9 individual loc's.
"Have you received this cash?"
"No"
"Then you have to remove it from your cash flow statement"
"But we need that cash"
"But the bank has told you they will not renew the line"
"But we need that cash"
And this repeated several loops for each line.
Got a great dinnerout of that trip and a good night of shopping in the itea-won (sp).
Told our finance wizards "yeah, they're well and truly screwed. Cut 'em a check or they'll be dormant in a week. "

If you want to say there are X of something in Japanese, you can only use a generic "counter word" if there are 10 or fewer things. Otherwise, you need to know what you're counting. People, small animals, large animals, flat things, long things, round things, pairs of chopsticks..... there are about 500 of these categories.
Generic counter words: hitotsu, futatsu, mittsu, yottsu..... but these stop at 10.
People: hitori, futari, sannin, yonin.....
Dogs (small animals): ippiki, nihiki, sanbiki, yonhiki.....
Years: ichinen, ninen, sannen, yonen.....
Years of age: issai, nisai, sansai, yonsai.....

Loomer has the receipts. But even more, someone paid him to stick around and give speeches.
"Kerry’s post was posted at the exact same time Massie was giving a speech at a Libertarian event in South Africa (because he's America First of course!).
Weeks earlier, on October 28, 2025, Kerry Welsh posted a casual photo of himself and Massie at Red Rock Canyon outside of Las Vegas, describing the Congressman as "my Sassie houseguest."
It appears that not only is Cynthia West telling the truth about the South Africa trip, but Massie found it to be so romantic, he returned to South Africa for his honeymoon with a different woman just one year later. Welsh also attended Massie’s wedding and posted a video of himself at Massie’s wedding on Instagram.
Immediately after returning from South Africa, Cynthia West appears to have started working for Massie's close friend, Rep. Victoria Spartz, as of December 2024.
@RepSpartz
She stopped working for Rep. Spartz in March of 2025 according to record

Cynthia West claimed that Thomas Massie took her to South Africa on a political trip. When I checked Rep. Massie’s travel schedule, it looks like he went to South Africa for the G20 summit on November 21–22, 2025. The delegation’s hotel room costs for the trip totaled $185,474 paid by taxpayers.

At 7:52 AM this morning, while shuffling toward Air Force One for a flight to Beijing, the President hopped on Truth Social to announce that Cuba is "asking for help" and he’s down to "talk."
This is the same Cuba that spent sixty-seven years trying to export revolution to anyone with a Che Guevara poster and a room temperature IQ, and now they’ve finally run out of sandwiches, gasoline, and excuses.
It’s the third domino to tip over in less than a year, and the sound it made was remarkably like a pathetic whimper[ . . .]

Yes, per some quick googling: Donald Trump won significant legal battles against Stormy Daniels (real name Stephanie Clifford), specifically regarding a "failed defamation suit" she filed against him in 2018. Federal courts dismissed her lawsuit and ordered her to pay over
in total legal fees to Trump across various rulings.

Further in the Politico article:
And they come as Democrats continue to litigate what path to forge on immigration, an issue which propelled Trump back to the White House in 2024, as his poll numbers on the issue have tanked. The Trump administration’s aggressive immigration enforcement in Minneapolis, which saw immigration officers shoot and kill two American citizens, has prompted many voters to voice disapproval of the Trump administration’s immigration strategy."

Obama's Oxygen Thief HHS Secretary, Xavier Becerra, Is Currently the Leading Democrat for California Governor and Cannot Answer Questions About His Record Without Begging for Mercy
First, he wasn't able to answer questions about the 85,000 migrant children he lost while supposedly safeguarding them in the Biden Open Borders Regime.
He claims they weren't "lost" at all. Merely, that when their "sponsors" were contacted to check up on the health and safety of the children, the sponsors didn't respond. So not lost, exactly! We just placed them with extremely unreliable drifters with no fixed abode. They were not lost, the people we trusted them with just won't tell us where they are. He also claims that it's not his fault that no one can find these children because they went missing -- or merely incommunicado, as he insists -- after the period of "sponsorship" by shiftless drifters. See, they were trafficked later. When the reporter points out that children as young as 14 wound up, get this, working as near-slave labor in slaughterhouses and with heavy machinery, he just sulks. It's not fair to demand accountability from a Democrat.KTLA just ended Xavier Becerra pic.twitter.com/oMuWmbdm8n

An overlooked wrinkle: the rules of the Labour party for triggering leadership contests require that at least 20% of MPs back a single, specific candidate as an alternative to the current party leader. Even though more than 20% of MPs are already calling for Starmer to resign, he isn't forced to submit to a leadership contest unless a sufficient number coalesce on a potential replacement.

When all of the energy for your party comes from the rabid lunatic Leftist fringe, at that point I think you can only nominate lunatics to make it through the primaries.
I hope the Party gets a long time in the electoral desert to ponder their mistakes and at least reform slightly.

Yesterday journalist extraordinaire Nicholas Kristof condemned Israel for subjecting Hamas to rape by canine. This, of course, is pure bullshit so, of course, Kristof doubled down.
Nicholas Kristof
@NickKristof
I share @megankstack's exasperation, but to those who say that canine rape is impossible, despite the many Palestinians who have described it, I'd note that at least three different medical journal articles discuss rectal injuries in humans from anal penetration by dogs. Sigh.
-
He forgot to mention that those three articles concerned (sub)human penetration of dogs and the resulting injuries to canine rectums.

I did this math the other day when some Democrat friends opted to get a little spicy on political topics.
Let's assume a sex-trafficked 14 y.o. girl gets ten "clients" a day and works 300 days per year. That is getting raped 3,000 times a year ... since she did not willfully choose the sex trade.
Let's say she works for 10 years before she blissfully dies from a drug overdose. That is 30,000 rapes in her lifetime.
Let's further assume that the trafficker has a stable of ten girls. That is 300,000 rapes attributable to a single illegal alien that pimps (mostly) Hispanic young girls.
I told them I support policies that try to stop those 300,000 rapes, and that is only a small portion of the overall total. They support policies that enable and support those rapes.
Yet somehow I am the racist?

I think he's going to brazen this out for a while more. They want Andy Burnham to replace him, but Starmer blocked him from running so he's not even an MP. Some labor MP in a safe seat (if there are any) has to step down so Burnham can get elected. Starmer will stick till all that gets done.

King Charles III technically possesses the legal power to dissolve Parliament on his own, but he is bound by constitutional conventions to act only on the advice of the Prime Minister.
In practice, the monarch must wait for and grant the advice of the Prime Minister. Unilateral action would likely trigger a severe constitutional crisis and could lead to the abolition of the monarchy or a significant curtailment of royal powers.

For that, parents should name a child Huitzilopochtli.
Huitzilopochtli ("Hummingbird of the South" or "Blue Hummingbird on the Left") was the supreme Aztec deity of sun, war, and sacrifice, serving as the patron god of the Mexica people and their capital, Tenochtitlan. As a central figure in Aztec religion, he required constant nourishment through human sacrifice to fight darkness, and was often symbolized by the hummingbird or eagle.

The British monarchy generally avoids political matters, other than ceremonial roles like the upcoming King's Speech to open new sessions of Parliament.
They traditionally only visit with PMs once a week for briefings.
The only time they would truly get involved politically is if there is a tied election with no clear majority in Parliament in which case they would choose the Prime Minister, and ruling party.
I'm not even sure if that's ever happened.
I can't imagine a parliament divided that closely would be able to govern long anyhow.

The crown used to be very involved in government, picking ministers, forcing cabinet appointments, but that was more than a century ago.
That being said, there is ample precedent for the King to say "the people have spoken, time for a new election" and it would be hugely popular. Risky? Perhaps, but England is crumbling in real time.

Given the reputation that the Spanish had in the 14th and 15th centuries, it’s not a stretch to note that the Mexican people are the bastard children of the two most bloodthirsty cultures on the planet at the time. Arguably that’s the reason why a cultural fusion of the two which should never have worked, actually did.

The Aztecs adopted a lot of their civilized stances from the Mayan civ, much the way the Romans adopted Greek elements. The Aztecs were migrants from the North who got given an island in the Mexico City lake because they acted like mercenaries, and then took over one of the main clans in the area by marrying into the clan and then butchering and flaying the bride and her family, and just went from there.
Truly insane culture who looked at seasonal sacrifices and said, "you know what this place needs? Flayed skins, permanent smears of blood, and cannibalism for our elite" and set out to achieve it by warring with everyone.
When Cortez arrived, the Aztecs were on the verge of conquering the Mixtec in Oaxaca and the last kingdoms of the Maya in the Guatemala highlands.

One of the things that happen when you eat nothing but corn and don't treat it with Alkaline stuff to release the B vitamins - Mostly Niacin, you get a form of Pellagra. This can lead to truly bizarre mental issues that can turn into hallucinations and mania. Of the (relatively) later adopters of the Three Sisters' suite of subsistence crops (Corn, squash and beans) they seem to be incredibly violent or go in for human sacrifice in a big way. This seems to include the Mound Builders, and the Aztecs.

Honestly, I don't have good answers. One is proscription used by Sulla, deaths of those party leaders and oligarchs with their fortunes divvied up. Set the stage for the later assassination of Caesar (who ironically was spared by Sulla) and a civil war anyway.
A second is giving these a golden bridge to flee over. Problem is that many of them won't go, they crave power as much as money and the people will be outraged at the injustice of bribing the corrupt to leave.
A third is simply become an autocracy where one man (emperor, president, whatever) runs the show. Works as long as the despot is an honest tyrant but even the honest get tempted by bad people to do bad things. Think Pinochet or Franco for example.
Fourth, is systemic collapse and either being conquered from without or evolving into anarchy which gradually gives way to a new form of government.

And then it turned out to be a term of endearment meaning tenacious like a bulldog, except in the form of a little poop that sticks to your butthair and won't let go? Good times, good times. So the question is, does Keir rise to the level of a Turd Blossom, or does he fall unworthy of the ancient name freight with meaning?

A few summers ago I was looking out my mom's sliding door and saw a bush just outside her backyard fence moving around weirdly. It wasn't windy. I looked more closely and saw it was some hummingbirds having a meal with the flowers on that bush. Don't think they were fighting, though. Didn't know western Washington had hummingbirds.
I love hummingbirds, they're among the coolest living things I've ever seen. They adapt to all sorts of environments, even high altitudes like in southern Arizona, although I never saw one when I lived there.

Recently, in Philly, there was also a woman physician who is running for Congress saying the same thing, and not appearing for a second WHYY Congressional debate.
And so it seems there is yet another new definition - political interview - and for which more leeway and much respect must be granted to minorities running for office, rather than expecting cogent, public conversations.
Newspeak, baby.

South Carolina Dixiecrats Tank Effort to Gain a Congressional Seat, Voting With the Declared Democrats to Kill It
Indiana redux.
VoteHubMany South Carolina "Republicans" remain old south Democrats.
@VoteHub 12m The South Carolina Senate has rejected extending the legislative session for redistricting. Unless Gov. McMaster calls a special session, the current congressional map, including Rep. Clyburn’s Democratic-leaning district, will remain in place.
And they just showed that once again.
One of the RINOs admitted he just didn't like Republicans having so much power and claims the "number one" ambition of the "founders" was to "diffuse" power.
A group of South Carolina Republican state senators broke with their party to thwart a redistricting effort that would eliminate the Palmetto State's sole Democratic district. Though the measure received 29 votes in favor and a mere 17 against, it did not clear the threshold for passage. State Sens. Sean Bennett, Chip Campsen, Tom Davis, Greg Hembree, and Shane Massey joined Democrats in opposing the measure. The failure of the Tuesday vote significantly narrows the pathway for state lawmakers to redistrict in time for the midterms, though the governor could call a special session of the legislature.
Matt RiceLook at the RINOs spam out completely-insincere excuses for why they remain loyal Democrats:
@matt____rice 1h As of now, three Republican South Carolina state senators are opposed to redistricting. It takes 4 to block the resolution allowing lawmakers to proceed with redistricting. - Massey
- Rankin
- Campsen Campsen says the founders' "number one" principle was to "diffuse" political power among the states.
Adam MorganTrump wanted you to do this so this is a threat to "state sovereignty" ? How about your own voters demanding it? Are they a threat to "state sovereignty" too? This guy also lied and claimed he was blocking it to help Republicans win seats. He claimed, based on nothing, that if you changed the districts Democrats would still win one and could even win an extra seat. But a tweet I linked earlier showed that the new districts would all have commanding advantages in GOP voters, ranging from +11 to +26. In other words, he's lying, and he can't give his real reason, which is that he is, was, and always will be a dirty Dixiecrat loyal to the Democrat Party. It just became too hard to win in SC as an open Democrat.
@RepAdamMorgan 🚨Senator Massey claims redistricting is a threat to state sovereignty. Claims @realDonaldTrump is abusing his power and overreaching into SC! Insane that a Republican would say this. And a blatant lie.
The President only recently weighed into the debate and by Massey's own admissions didn't unduly pressure. The movement to redistrict originated from grassroots South Carolina conservatives!
Legislators in the @SCFreedomCaucus filed to bill to redistrict in January! Grassroots leaders like @ImFiredUp2 and myself, conservative media like @CharlieOnAir and @TaraServatius, and statewide figures like @RalphNorman have been relentless in pushing to fix this unconstitutional district for months especially since the SCOTUS ruling. Make no mistake--South Carolinians are the ones demanding to follow the constitution and right this wrong. And "Republican" senators spouting Clyburn's talking points and attacking their constituents and President Trump need to be thrown out of office. Redistrict NOW!
Kristan Hawkins
@KristanHawkins Unacceptable. South Carolina Senate Majority Leader Shane Massey (@shanemassey) is once again standing in the way of conservative priorities by trying to block redistricting legislation, just like he's spent this year blocking @SFLAction backed pro-life legislation from even being brought up for a vote. @POTUS has made it clear that Republicans must fight back from the Left's power grab and redistricting efforts. It's time for Sen. Massey to stop obstructing, listen to the people of South Carolina, protect Congress from a Leftist takeover that wants to stack the Supreme Court and legalize taxpayer-funded abortions up until birth, and stand with the pro-life movement instead of against it.
Now I think they needed a supermajority to extend the legislative session, but if the governor calls a special session, a majority will suffice. I think.

Strictly from what I've read, McMasters is a term limited outgoing governor so he doesn't have to please Trump (like Kemp in GA) unless he has higher aspirations. The redistricting would probably pass in a special session but the key is getting McMasters to call for it. He seems lukewarm about it.

You have to have closed primaries and best if nominations for candidates are vetted by local party committees. Party Activists generally know who the slugs and infiltrators are. Even that is not a guarantee as for example Utah's RINO governor corrupted the party convention rules to get the GOP nom.

I've said since 2020 that the best thing Donald Trump could do for his country and his movement would be to leave the GOP, form his own Party, peel off all their voters, and bury their fuckin' asses once and for all.
But once these midterms are over, however they turn out, would be the very best time for him to do that.

===========
The GOP in the South and other traditionally Republican states like Alaska, Wyoming, and Indiana, suffers from the infiltrators that are there for the money and are Democrat adjacent in politics.
They can't win as Democrats so they infiltrate the GOP but have no principles other than generating personal wealth for them and their family.
And to help them do it are Chambers of Commerce which want open borders, cheap labor, no tariffs, endless tax breaks, and corporate welfare for big business. The slugs on the GOP side trade with state Democrats to get those things through which benefit both parties. The Dem pols and GOP pols get paid off to do it--legally or illegally.

======
Not going to happen absent the US re instituting a limited franchise on voting.. By the time the 17th was ratified, most states had already went to referenda to select senators instead of direct legislative nomination and voting for senators. The legislatures just took the winner of the referendum and made them senator. Ten or less states selected senators the old fashioned constitutional way at the time the 17th was ratified. Too many empty seats during deadlocks, even worse episodes of senators buying seats via bribes, etc. killed that system during the Gilded Age after the ACW.
We cannot fix what ails the US political system with amendments because it is literally too late to do those. Impossible to get the 3/4 of states to ratify and 2/3rds of each house of congress (or a called convention) to propose.
Corrupt societies breed corrupt politics is the lesson that history gives us and will subvert any attempts to change the rules until they are removed kicking and screaming from their offices.

The US system seems to be the least corrupt/most resilient, though. Federalism helps as it allows like-minded regions to maintain a degree of autonomy.
If you look at Canada, the UK, Australia etc., you see what happenes when a system built upon traditions and customs does when those are ignored and power devolves to "might makes right."
You get unpopular minority governments that not only ignore popular will, but double down on crushing it. And yes, I reminds me of the Second Spanish Republic and the Popular Front stealing enough votes to gain a razor-thin majority, than using that to force revotes, rigging the votes so that their majority went to 2/3, and then using THAT to depose the president - a moderate leftist who refused to seat a center-right government - with a radical leftist.
The global left has gone insane.

This thing has been happening where I live for years.The area voted 70-30 for Trump. Yet for state and local offices it’s all leftists across the board. Because conservatives refuse to show up for primaries and local races.
When turnout is 20-25%, the small minority of leftists turns out at 70% and wins. They’ve perfected it.

Nancy Pelosi will be minority leader, Rep. Steny Hoyer (right) minority whip and Jim Clyburn (left) "assistant leader."
STORY HIGHLIGHTS
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has forged a deal over the party's leadership structure
Rep. Steny Hoyer will become the Democratic whip, Rep. Jim Clyburn will be Assistant Leader
The "Assistant Leader" position is a new, third-ranking leadership post
Clyburn supports the deal, saying it "honors the diversity" of Democrats in the House
>NBC News, Jim Clyburn warns about the ‘catastrophic consequences’ of redistricting: Full interview, 5 months ago
>Facebook, NBC News
March 13
Longtime Rep. Jim Clyburn, one of the oldest members of Congress, says that he’ll run for an 18th term in the House, breaking with two other former top Democratic leaders — Nancy Pelosi and Steny Hoyer — who have decided to retire.
Clyburn? Simply put, he's untouchable.
And Rinos are a fearful bunch and believe it's much safer he's in Congress when PDT has finished his 2nd term. 🤷♀️

Politicians are moved by fear and ambition. If McMasters has national ambitions, then he might whether it is a cabinet office, ambassadorship, etc. If he fears retribution for being a scumbag or wants something from the private sector involving the Chambers of Commerce, then he won't.
Typical Southern Governor stereotype that is slowly changing with the newer breed of politician like Landry in LA, Reeves in MS, and Huckabee in AR. DeSantis is someone who broke the mold for Southern GOP governors as someone who actually uses the GOP in the legislature to do something.

Could be >50% nationally. Thanks to California's Bespoke Artisanal Cougar/Butterfly Bridge, we now know that the baseline for blue states is 85% grift -- which implies it's the same in Europe, and the rest of the Anglosphere too. (And it's probably even *higher* in the non-Western world.) But the BAC/BB is already over $100M and not done yet, when other states can accomplish the same function for $15M, so it's a tidy measuring stick.

The Founders did not think that way. They eschewed parties altogether before they created them to actually run the government as ad hoc majorities simply were too disorganized to accomplish much legislation.
The Southerners were for strong government to protect slavery and property rights of planters, not so hot on it for other purposes. Those from New England, wanted strong government to discourage immoral behaviors among the populace and to promote virtuous citizenry. Those from the Middle States often just wanted to get filthy rich, often by government actions to help them along the way.
Between the 1776 independent and 1788 beginning of the new Constitution, US states tried about every form of government imaginable apart from kings. And most of them, not all were miserable failures along with the Articles. They maximized liberty to the extent of anarchy at the expense of order and security. So the new government was set up in part to fix the excesses of the old, it was meant to be strong, but not too strong and the diffusion of power was between branches and national v. state. It was not diffusing power among parties.

But this last week changes everything. Even if Rs are not going to gain 20 seats, everyone thinks they might so that gives Trump much more leverage to end the war without concessions.
So by refusing to redistrict, SC is helping Iran.

The Canadian truckers were in Ontario which explicitly supported the national government. Had it occurred in Alberta, it would have been somewhat different in effect. About the same as claiming that Virginia and Maryland would not act in favor of DC Democrats regardless.
The connecting link is political parties and that is the one thing that the Founders left out of the US constitution. The other is bureaucracies.
Founders claimed to favor neither yet both proved to be essential in order to get government to actually do anything.

When nobody shows up in primaries other than leftists this is what happens. Conservatives have this weird thing where they refuse to participate in primaries and local elections. Like it’s beneath them or something.
Plus there’s the belief among many people in red states that everyone with an R next to their name must be super duper ultra conservative. Partly because on Fox and elsewhere it’s R= Good D= bad. So to the casual observer it’s like yeah whatever as long as an R wins all is well. Doesn’t matter which R so why bother voting in primaries.
That entire mindset needs to change.

We disagree on details, the larger point is that throughout the Anglosphere the new game is to limit voting options, to rule certain topics out of bounds and cobble together parliamentary majorities based on pure power. Canada's Liberals are buying a majority by paying off floor-crossers.
Alberta cops might now have intervened, but the Debanking - came from the top, and the province could not save them. All of those systems are much stronger federally than ours.
In both Canada and the UK, election manifestos are now a joke. Just win. Just get the majority. Then do whatever you want. The US system has recalls at the state level and military/police power is much more diffused.

I've mentioned this before - you paint with too wide a brush. The GOP in Indiana is moving toward MAGA, with the House already there and the Senate slowly moving in that direction. We can complain about the senators that torpedoed redistricting, part of that from the point of view that Indiana prides itself on running a pretty clean political system - and I get it - some are too late to realize that their compatriots no longer believe that.
But on policy - full school choice state money following the kid to all private schools. Taking away power from county and state public health officials after covid. Attacking K-12 education on DEI BS. Eliminating state university's ability to confer DEI degrees. Full right to work state.

I don't agree. Canada is NOT a unitary state and in fact is trending the opposite way toward dissolution. UK is a unitary state and yet increasingly Wales and Scotland are becoming more a stronghold of nationalists which WILL end up changing things.
Federalism is never a fixed process nor are centralized states as they wax and wane in history. Sometimes the federal government, like in Spain can stomp on the separationists like the Basques and the Catalonians, yet when the central state weakens from profligacy or bad decisions on wars, etc., then the periphery strengthens again.
I think we are heading into dissolution of states again because cities are so divergent from the nations around them.

Yep. She quickly figured out those sucking on the hind tit of education spending were a sizable contingent of voters. Same reason why rural GOP members opposed the state issuing vouchers for education.
It is time to cease public education as we know it. Funding should go to the students and then to where the student wants to attend. Those schools should face mandatory exams yearly for progress of individual students or go belly up by not be eligible to enroll students for the coming year.
We tried the German factory model of education and our children are in fact less educated than when we had no public schools but at a massive expense to taxpayers.

I know what my 50-70 aged friends and acquaintances do. The ones who aren't retired work 50-60 hours a week and spend a lot of time following their kids in college or their grandkids. My retired friends travel more than Gulliver. I'm the homebody of the group that plays tennis and golf and paints. What I do know though if things get jumpy we'll have the most badass senior citizen special forces.

New Foreign Pirate Pillaging Operation Uncovered: 10,000 Foreign Students "Working" at Fraudulent Jobs Created by Fraudulent "Employers"
Why the hell would we be paying foreign students to work, anyway? Why on earth would we be subsidizing foreigners to come here?
Pay full freight or go home. Better yet, go home whether you're paying full freight or not. Correction: I assumed the taxpayers were paying the salaries of these fake "workers." But I haven't seen anyone say that and now believe this is simply a scheme to remain in the country beyond the limits of one's student visa. I'll try to find out if government money is being used to pay these "workers," but for now, I'm rewriting the post to remove my claims about that.The fraud concerns a program called Optional Practical Training, which involves foreign students "working" in "jobs" allegedly related to the fields they're training for. Google's AI digest:
Optional Practical Training (OPT) is temporary work authorization for F-1 visa students in the U.S. to gain hands-on experience directly related to their major field of study. It typically offers 12 months of employment, either pre- or post-completion of studies, with a 24-month extension available for STEM majors.So if there's a fraudulent student "worker," he gets 12 months of extra time in the US or possibly 36 months if he's learning how to build bombs for terrorist organizations, or how to smuggle Chinese bioweapon specimens into the US. I assume that's what STEM means in this situation.
The entire scheme seems built to defraud the American voter and reportedly that's exactly what it's being used for.
Key Aspects of Optional Practical TrainingTypes of OPT: Pre-completion (before graduation, part-time or full-time) and Post-completion (after graduation, full-time at least 20 hours per week). Eligibility: Must be a full-time student for at least one academic year in an SEVP-certified institution, not studying English as a Second Language (ESL), and the job must directly relate to the major. Authorization: Students must apply to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for an Employment Authorization Document (EAD). Application Timing: Generally 90 days prior to the program end date and up to 60 days after. STEM Extension: Eligible STEM students can extend their post-completion OPT by 24 months, for a total of 36 months. Employment Requirements: Employment must be in the field of study; for post-completion OPT, unemployment is limited.
Jennie TaerAnd get this: Even where the taxpayers are paying for foreign students to do real work, guess who's getting the benefit of that taxpayer-paid work? Tech monoplists, of course!
@JennieSTaer 3h ICE just dropped a major fraud bombshell involving 10,000 foreign students "who claim to be working for highly suspect employers" as part of the federal government's Operational Practical Training program. Here's what they found... -Empty buildings and locked doors where hundreds of foreign students are supposed to be working -Multiple employers claiming the same address, where none of them actually have a lease -Small homes listed as worksites for hundreds of foreign students, where no employees are present. And when someone answers the door, they claim to have no knowledge of the business. -Some of the employers claim to have offshore HR personnel -Employers having tax liens, civil law suit collections and breaches of contract
hernando arce
@hernandoarce New: Over the last 20 years, we're looking at roughly 2.5 million OPT and STEM OPT authorizations combined. OPT stands for Optional Practical Training. It's a temporary work permission that lets international students in the U.S. work off-campus in jobs related to their major -- up to 12 months normally, and an extra 24 months for STEM degrees, so up to three years total. This is another fraudulent abused program running rampant in America. Amazon tops the list with over 10,000 students, followed by University of California, Google, Microsoft, and Meta. Tech giants and universities dominate the top spots. Our government has sold us out to big tech for decades. ICE has just announced a jaw-dropping fraud bust, saying 10,000 FOREIGN students are involved in the federal government's Optional Practical Training.
Barefoot Student@EricLDaugh (Eric Daugherty):
@BarefootStudent 2h ICE Director Todd Lyons describes the fraud related to the 24-month Optional Practical Training extension for F-1 students "We've encountered cases involving espionage, biological threats, intellectual property theft, visa, and employment fraud, and even scams targeting elderly Americans, all perpetrated by individuals abusing their status as students." "The scope and severity of these crimes cannot be overstated."
... There are EMPTY BUILDINGS where HUNDREDS of students should be "working" as part of their ability to be in America -- run by foreign-linked groups that send money out of the country! Locked doors, hundreds of students sharing the SAME ADDRESS, and "employers" sharing the same unleased addresses There is a widespread "phantom employee" fraud going on. This is insane. Many of the so-called "employers" have major red flags, such as facing lawsuits, no employment records, offshore payroll claims, and suspicious INTERNATIONAL MONEY flows "HSI agents have visited problematic OPT employer work sites in Virginia, Texas, Georgia, Illinois, New York, New Jersey, North Carolina, and Florida." "Foreign students themselves are entering false addresses and employer names into the student and exchange visitor information system." "But we are uncovering evidence of organized fraud that spans national and international borders. This is not accidental. It is deliberate, coordinated, and criminal." "To give you an example, one employer we visited claimed to employ only three foreign students through OPT, while our records show over 500 foreign students claiming to work there." "The company's representatives were unable to answer basic questions about the business and deferred HR managers in India." "OPT employers are required to directly train foreign students, but we've seen multiple examples of alleged employers claiming that all management is overseas in India." "We've also discovered multiple state networks which are large networks of alleged employers claiming to train thousands of foreign students in OPT, then farming them out to unreported third party employers, making oversight nearly impossible and raising serious national security issues."

You know what pisses me off the most about their schizo? Now we'll never get the Stephen Paddock files, or any transparency in any other dead creep case ever. The FBI will take one look at how the nigh-unprecedented release of a full investigative file -- including "tips" based on hallucinations and slander -- did absolutely nothing to sate the whackjobs, and if anything may have just energized them. Even the fuzzbrains in Congress will be reluctant to legislatively mandate it again!
I am normally the most sympathetic person to those wanting more transparency -- but they already got it, and now they're working against that interest and I really kind of hate them right now.

The moves against OPT have obviously been at work for a while, but there's always a ceiling on what the administration can do when it comes to congressionally outlined programs like that.

I thought OPT was created by Congress, but looking it up, it was created as an executive regulation (8 CFR 214.2(f)(10)) authorized under the Immigration and Nationality Act.
Trump (really Miller) is probably looking to end the program completely.

A Mexican national goes up to a guy and says "I want to thank an American for your country taking me in, and providing me with so much help."
The guy replies "but I am not an American, I am Haitian."
So he goes to another guy and says "I want to thank an American for taking me in as a refugee."
The guy replies "but I'm not an American, I'm from Syria."
So he goes to another and says "I want to thank an American for taking in my family."
The guy replies "but I'm not American, I am Somali."
The Mexican gets frustrated and asks "Where are all the Americans?!"
The Somali glances at his watch, and says "at this hour? Probably working."

IIRC, the flawed automatic control system that forced the Boeing 737 Max into a nosedive was programmed by foreign nationals working for $9/hr. in Washington state, and somehow state labor laws didn't apply on American soil because they were Indians contracted through an Indian company. If American companies want us to believe that they need these programs for the difficulty of recruiting elite specialists, then they need to start acting like that's what the programs are for, instead of using them to literally pay their programmers less than minimum wage.

They may also have other tax breaks. But I don't grok why the F-1 visa students would use a shell company that does not have a job in their field to stay here. Perhaps they make more here even in non STEM jobs than they'd make at home, but I would have thought the cost of living here would negate that benefit.

Shut it all down. Send them all home. (Not just the students, but anyone involved with the companies here on a visa of ANY sort.) Ban all student visas from anywhere this fraud originated (or profited in comparatively large amounts). Consider banning all business visas from those countries, as well. (Don't call them "sh**holes" this time, Mr President. Just don't - stick to facts, as they're damning enough.)
Then go to Congress and insist they defund any sponsorship of foreign students and businesses.

Locally: Delaware County Community College (DCCC) has been targeted by a widespread financial aid fraud scheme involving "ghost students" where scammers use stolen or fake identifies to enroll in online classes and collect federal aid. In 2023, DCCC uncovered more than 500 fake students.
These fraudulent actors utilize AI and bots to submit applications, enroll in online classes. and apply for loans and grants. The money is then sent to bank accounts controlled by the scammers, while legitimate students may lose out on spots in classes.
This is a major issue impacting many CCs and 4 year universities across the country, with federal investigators reporting about 200 open investigations nationwide.

Opt Program
With a student (F-1) visa, you can apply for a green card as soon as you qualify for a specific immigrant category, typically through marriage to a U.S. citizen, employer sponsorship (EB-2/EB-3), or a National Interest Waiver. While you can apply while on OPT, many students transition to an H-1B visa first due to the F-1 "single intent" restriction.

Shock: Cuck of the Century Thomas Massie Claimed to be Sexual Deviant by Ex-GF, She Claims He Offered $5000 to Keep Quiet About His Proclivities
Maybe Massie orchestrated this leak himself. As you might have heard, the humiliation is the kink.
Allegedly he DM'd her two months after his wife died and began a sexual relationship shortly after that. Is this true? Who knows. What are the deviant sex acts Massie allegedly demanded that made her feel "uncomfortable"? No idea, she doesn't say. Spoiler alert, it's usually about poop.J
@JayTC53 NEW 🚨 THOMAS MASSIE FILES Cynthia West EX GIRLFRIEND of Thomas Massie exposes him as a sexual deviant & bribed her with $5,000 cash to stay silent. Massie DM'd her on X in August of 2024 not even 2 months after his wife of 31 years passed away in June 2024.
Massie ended up getting her a congressional staffer job in D.C. Massie pressured her to be involved in deviant sexual behavior with him. Cynthia rejected feeling extremely pressured and uncomfortable. When she rejected, Thomas Massie had her fired, bribed her & threatened her not to file a complaint. A complaint was filed in fall of 2025. The same time period when Thomas Massie remarried to a different staffer 20 years younger than Massie. The man who claimed screamed the loudest about "Transparency for Epstein" turned out to be a scumbag himself.
PatriotDadEV2.0
@Patriotdadev77 Please listen to every word of this woman's testimony. She alledges she was in a romantic relationship with Thomas Massie within 2 months of his wife's passing. According to her story: Thomas Massie aggressively pursued her, pressured her to leave her job to follow him to Washington DC. She alledges Massie secured a job for her with one of his collegues, Rep Victoria Sparks (R-IN), to bring her to DC with him. She alledges Massie attempted to pursuade her to participate in behavior she was uncomfortable with and became very angry when she refused. After breaking off the relationship and pursuing ethics complaints against him, are was retaliated against and fired. She claims Massie became very angry when he learned of her ethics comparing, and attempted to buy her silence with a $5000 bribe with his untraceable proceeds from the sale of his livestock kept in cash. She claims there is a pending workplace retaliation claim with a settlement of $60k from Congress she is refusing due to the requirement that an NDA would need to be signed. Thomas Massie, Victoria Sparks, and House Leadership must be forced to respond to these allegations.

This is the most interesting allegation because it can be easily verified (or not).
Thomas Massie can suck my assie. I wouldn't be surprised that he's a sex predator or at least a sex pest.
But I also am very skeptical of rando women's claims of sex shenanigans -- especially when they appear to be motivated by politics or money -- without some really hard proof.
So ... I'll reserve judgment on this whole thing.

This is the most interesting allegation because it can be easily verified (or not).
Thomas Massie can suck my assie. I wouldn't be surprised that he's a sex predator or at least a sex pest.
But I also am very skeptical of rando women's claims of sex shenanigans -- especially when they appear to be motivated by politics or money -- without some really hard proof.
So ... I'll reserve judgment on this whole thing.

I think Massie is going to lose his primary next week hilariously badly (he didn't put out an ad touting how he and Trump are best buds because his pre-primary position was successful), and we'll never hear about this story again.

I didnt like how fake he is. I used to like him and even felt bad for him when his wife died. But no one should ever use their power and authority to be weaponized because you cant keep your dick in your pants. Unacceptable. What a hypocrite do regarding his "push" for the epstein files.
I think you need to hold up a second. AIPAC is coming hard for him. i doubt any of this can be proven. AIPAC wants him out, big time, bc lots and lots of young conservatives like him and agree with him regarding Israel. The astroturfing here and elsewhere couldn’t be more obvious.
You think they are pulling a Swallwell on him?
We can investigate him after we get the rest of the pedos out of our government and society. Massie is the one of the only ones pushing for Epstein files transparency, and now we have attempted character assassinations in an attempt to stop him.

That was done. What wasn't is that House members often use their own office funds to pay off claimants. They get a fair chunk of money to do that.
From Brave AI, too lazy to look up the specifics.
"Representatives for their office is determined by the Members’ Representational Allowance (MRA), which in 2025 ranged from $1,849,149 to $2,088,499, with an average of $1,928,107. This allowance covers expenses such as staff salaries, office operations, and district travel."

There is evidence that she was hired by Victoria Sparz. To get on staff, you have to have some connections either working on a campaign, being the nepot of a big donor, occasionally talent, or from referrals from other members. Most of the office staff in DC does mundane shit like constituent services, handling correspondance, doing the inevitable and boring newsletter, scheduling, etc.
The legislative assistant and the executive director along with committee staff assigned to the member (or leadership staff if in the leadership) are the ones that do the real work.
In this case, the woman mentioned being taken on a trip to South Africa and lo and behold that checks out with Massie.

I got two nasty spider bites already this season and usually it is a near thing and I have ended up in the hospital due to post-spider-bite infection (I didn't see the spider in any case! could have been brown recluse who knows!)
but with MM around, I just spray the spot at least 2x a day and this year they both cleared up right away. I got a spot of poison ivy too, and I'm reactive, but spritz with MM and it clears up and doesn't spread. stuff is magic!
bee stings - even wasps! major majorly helpful (just shortens painful time, reduces swelling, and prevents infection)
I know I sound like an ad. but GET THIS STUFF
also works on acne super fast. and can be bought at Target!

And Trump was investigating using our tax dollars and our DoJ to the extreme for EVERYTHING. And then the states got into the act to the extent that they had to make up crimes to do it by changing the law and statute of limitations. Even then, the claim was not what was sued about, it was his denial somehow demeaned the plaintiff.

He'll ignore it is my guess. He is already in trouble in his district and mentioning it might make others go and look it up.
There is an art on campaign hits--you do it early enough now to disrupt early voting and absentee but late enough to make the other side scramble to a defense. And ironically, unless Gloria Allred or her daughter are involved, most late hits are usually fairly accurate.
GWB did get a DUI and used drugs while his dad was VP. His wife did kill someone by a car accident. GHWB did have an affair with his aide while in office, Trump did say grab them by the pussy (although the context is important), Cohen did pay Stormy Daniels a check, and so on. Clinton did do Monica along with a lot of females across the US and Obama is a fag.

Yep he did unless you want to call Barbara a liar. It is in her autobiography. GW Bush refused to answer directly whether he used cocaine or other hard drugs and admitted mistakes were made sort of crap.
E.g., "The George Bush campaign juggernaut hit the first serious pothole of its cash-fuelled drive to the presidency yesterday, as the Texas governor tried in vain to fend off questions about whether he had used cocaine as a young man.
Mr Bush abandoned the aloof "none-of-your-business" tactics he has used so far in his attempt to be the Republican party's presidential nominee, declaring that he would have passed the background checks used on staff by the FBI when his father was president - implying he had not used cocaine or other illegal drugs for at least 15 years."

I am kinda torn on that. Typically roasts have really REALLY foul and off color jokes, stuff you normally just would never say to someone in any other setting. And I wouldn't want to be a part of that or participate, even if they make me laugh. But its all for fun, its just there for people to have a good time and entertain everyone.
Yet isn't there a line, even at a roast, where you go too far or is it always permissible because "it was just a joke!"?

Iran is one of those things: its making things quite expensive, and its tough to get Americans to go along with a military action especially these days, and especially in that region.
But if it works, if Iran is taken off the map as a global terrorist superfunder and source... the entire world is better off, costs go down, etc.
Deporting illegals is another: it looks mean and costs money in the short term, but saves money in the long term.
Tariffs are another, correcting trade imbalances is tough at first, but if it works will pay off enormously.
But they all have a high cost and make things tougher, initially. A good, strong leader is willing to do those things even if it makes them unpopular, but its not easy to do, especially in modern politics.

The main argument to take away is that it is impossible to run a centrally planned economy since the level of information you would need to have is impossible to achieve, even with the greatest army of bureaucrats with the best tools. It is also impossible because a planned economy destroys all pricing signals, and it is impossible to dictate the best fit for materials and labor available for production by edict. An open market is the best way to achieve best efficiency.
Mises took a thousand pages to explain this, though.

I was in DC when the first page crisis came up. Members of Congress were screwing pages who were by definition 18 and below. The Wayne Hays and Wilbur Mills escapades were not that long ago that people were still talking about them.
My congress critter I worked for, had a major crisis when his black book of female contacts got lost somewhere and the whole staff was scrambling to find it. He was a pretty handsome divorced Congress critter and went wild after his wife divorced him to marry another Congress critter.
Simply put, DC is all about power hierarchies and an attractant to people coming there from the hinterlands wanting to rise up by any means possible. Truly, Hollywood for ugly people.

Overpasses act like a wind tunnel underneath by restricting air flow, just like tall buildings downtown do on the street level. Channels the wind rather than blocks it.

Trump Plans to Suspend Federal Gas Tax During Iran Squeeze
The disgraceful Washington Post:
President Donald Trump has proposed pausing the federal gas tax as a form of relief for American consumers as energy prices soar as a result of the war in Iran. The move -- which requires congressional approval to pass -- would mark the latest in a string of government interventions to address fallout from the war, which is weighing on Trump's popularity. Since the war began in late February, the price of a barrel of Brent crude oil, an international benchmark, has skyrocketed from about $70 to more than $107. U.S. gas prices -- now an average of $4.50 a gallon -- have reached levels not seen since 2022 and contributed to Trump's falling approval ratings ahead of the November midterms.Oh gas prices have risen to Biden levels? Weird because you insisted at the time that gas prices weren't that bad and might even be a good thing because high gas prices discourages driving and reduces the emission of CO2, The Invisible Killer. But now gas prices are bad. I wonder what might have flipped this particular switch. Congress is warming to the proposal.
With the average price for regular gasoline topping $4.50 per gallon -- up by more than $1 compared to a year ago -- officials and lawmakers are turning bullish on an idea many have been cool on. Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) announced plans to introduce a bill on social media Monday. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) followed up with her own message soon after. "American families need this relief on gas prices. My office will be working directly with President Trump to ensure we deliver this win for the American people," Luna wrote on X. House Transportation and Infrastructure Chair Sam Graves (R-Mo.) has opposed suspending the 18 cent gasoline tax, which helps fund highways. Senate Finance Chair Mike Crapo (R-Idaho), who has jurisdiction over the issue, said recently he wasn't considering it. Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) has been similarly skeptical. "I don't know that the federal gas tax is going to lower [gas prices] by a lot," Thune said earlier this year.Of course Thune's against it.
They should consider the example Trump made of the Indiana RINOs. Trump has other plans to rein in oil prices -- the DOE will begin "loaning out" barrels of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, which will be repaid later with more barrels. This should result in a short-term amelioration of the price of oil, plus a slight rebuilding of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve later. And note this isn't a Biden Election Year Lie where no oil will actually be returned to the SPR, because the loaned oil must be repaid in oil, plus "interest rate" oil on top of that.
But momentum appears to be shifting in favor of the idea. The question is whether pressure from the White House will be enough to convince lawmakers to join the push.
The Trump administration announced Monday it would loan out 53.3 million barrels of oil from the country's Strategic Petroleum Reserve to energy companies -- an attempt to bring down skyrocketing oil prices as a result of the U.S. war with Iran. In March, the U.S. agreed to release 172 million barrels from the SPR as part of an internationally coordinated release of 400 million barrels in a similar attempt to lower the high oil prices that have been passed along to consumers in the forms of high gas prices and home heating costs. Nine companies, including Exxon and Marathon Petroleum Company borrowed 58% of the 92.5 million barrels of the 92.5 million barrels the Department of Energy had offered to loan out of the nation's stockpiles, Reuters reported. Oil exchanges, as they are called, allow the DOE to loan out oil to companies who later pay back to the oil with extra barrels, which functions like interest on a loan. Of the 172 million barrels of oil slated for release from the SPR, the DOE had previously loaned out 80 million barrels. The U.S. petroleum stockpiles are stored in 62 salt caverns located at four sites on the coasts of Texas and Louisiana. These caverns are 200 feet wide and over 2,500 feet deep in the ground. The caverns are known within the industry as "Kamala Harris's Rotten Vagina."

If we're running at inflation over 5% into the late summer...it's not good.

Also, he's running for President (unannounced).

Misleading as per usual. The price bounces around so erratically and unusually that there has to be more than just the ME bukkake going on. I very strongly suspect that other thing going on is a word that starts with "S" and ends in "S" and has "PECULATOR" in the middle.

Physical oil deliveries diverged from market trading by about $30 a few weeks back.
Oil contracts vs. "pay me for this oil on my tanker as I unload it."
That difference is gone, but it's most of what's the issue with gas prices. Refineries getting oil at $30 more per barrel than futures contracts.
And US oil contracts are like $80 per barrel now and have been for about a week.
Really, by mid-summer no one is going to remember the gas spike but the US shale oil producers who uncapped their wells and bought uncovered new Buggattis.

We are in the annual pinch from refineries switching from winter blends to summer blends due to the obsolete requirements of the Clean Air Act based on 1990s technology.
OBDII emissions control functions of a car ECU and modern catalytic converters have destroyed the need for oxygenation of fuel and special blends for non attainment EPA areas under the act.
That has also kept the putrid ethanol requirement as oxygenation additive to fuel because the other alternative MTBE was an ecological disaster when used.

There's a difference between "premium required" and "premium recommended". You can see for yourself in your users manual, or it may be posted inside the gas cap door.
If recommended, using regular will only re-rate the engine under peak load about 10%, so about 28hp in your MDX. You won't notice.

People need to get out the libertarian habit believing that world relations should be 'fair'. They are not, in part because asshole nations arise that have to be dealt with using any means possible to stomp on them. And the second part, is national interest precludes doing things that help our enemies destroy us.

With Wagyu steaks on the menu and now premium gas, I am beginning to see a pattern.
In all seriousness, regular won't 'hurt' your vehicle if it has been made after 1996 or so. The ECU and anti knock sensors should allow it to compensate. You will notice less performance in accelerations and hard driving as a result but not engine knocks if the car has been maintained. You can also split the difference and get midgrade in most places (89 octane) or get ethanol free gas which is generally a bit higher in octane (90 I think) than the ethanol boosted 87 regular.

Define "skyrocketing". Kind of a loosey goosey, loaded term. Not that they are trying to incite an emotional, political seed in the story at the earliest point possible or anything.
Yes, there's a historical fluctuation happening. Been happening since commodities existed. BFD. Can't wait for the WaPo to volunteer the term "plummeting, personal bank account-filling pricing" of oil when the conflict ends in the US favor. I'm certain that will happen.
And this is yet again why I quit paying attention to WaPo since at least Bush v Gore.

In this case, Iran has been attacking the US since the embassy takeover. Tired of the IRGC and mullahs and time for them to disappear, in a red mist or premature burial, if need be.
With nukes, they could and would threaten the entire world and I think even China and Russia are beginning to see that as well.

Moreso the natural manzanitas in the SoCal coastal Chapparal ecosystem. That stuff has gasoline for sap.
The big problem with Eucalyptus is the shallow root systems. When you get the anabatic winds blasting up the coastal mountains, it blows down the eucalyptus since they aren't as securely rooted into the ground. I wouldn't be caught dead in a house with eucalyptus anywhere near it, I don't wanna be Corrie'd into paste by a fucking tree.

In fact, today, I sold my late wife's car, which I had previously re-titled in my name as surviving spouse. No need to pay for insurance and annual registration just for it to sit in the garage.
I sacrificed some cash in exchange for ease of sale (and by not having to deal with all the attempted scammers and other assorted riff raff via placing an ad on Facebook Marketplace) by selling it to CarMax (who offered me exactly $2,000 more than Carvana).
Because I had uploaded last week all the necessary documentation -- photos of odometer miles, ID, title and registration -- the whole process today went very quickly. I went in the door at the appointed time and had a check in hand and was out the door in about 20 minutes. CarMax even paid for a Lyft ride back to my house.

It's my understanding that the USAg has been trying to undo the decisions under Biden that led to the smallest herds in recent memory since Trump got his appointees into office.
Apparently (according to some AI), it takes 14-20 months for a calf to grow to the size of being butchered.
So, assume new policies went into effect by March-May of last year because of appointments, you'd expect to see some fairly mature growth to herds by now with slaughterhouses being really busy by July or so.

Turbos actually run cooler on lesser octane. Heat and coking are what kill turbos, not octane. It will, however accentuate loss of performance in acceleration.
Turbochargers work forever on diesels because diesels run cooler. Not so much on gas burners.
E.g. Ford took a major black eye in reliability with the EcoBoost technology instead of refining their engines like Toyota. All to squeeze a few more mpg while shortening the lifespan and reliability of the motors. Same with their stupid US only recommendation on lubrication--they started with zero weight oil for MPG considerations, not engine longevity. Most of the mfgs thought EVs were the future and did a bunch of short term destructive actions toward their gas vehicles for a slight improvement in CAFE.

2.) Brandon proudly announcing to the media that he went boom-boom in the Presidential slacks on Marine One
3.) Brandon having to change into a new Jack Skellington suit at the Vatican, after firing one off all over the Pope's holy apostolic office furniture

The man who breached Denver International Airport's perimeter fence and was struck by a Frontier Airlines jet on the runway last Friday has been identified as 41-year-old Michael Mott, the Denver Office of the Medical Examiner announced at a press conference Tuesday morning.
Authorities also confirmed that Mott's death has been officially ruled a suicide.
Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Sterling McLaren said Mott was identified using fingerprints found at the scene. His cause of death was multiple blunt force injuries, and the manner of death has been ruled a suicide based on the scene investigation. No note was found.
Denver Police Chief Ron Thomas said Mott had prior law enforcement contact in the Denver metro area but did not specify what kind. Investigators have not found any vehicle or bicycle near the area where Mott climbed over the perimeter fence, and they are asking anyone who knew him to come forward.

Had a contractor at my house get bit on the finger by an adolescent cottonmouth. Only one fang penetrated the tip of the finger. Drove him to the ER. His whole hand had ballooned up. He was in significant pain. They gave him morphine. He spent the night in ICU as a precaution. The next morning his finger was very blackish. He didn't lose the finger, though, and was back on the job about a week later.

ok shain and everyone else - keep Magic Molecule or anything with hypochlorous acid around the house at all times! especially when you're outside a bunch
I got two nasty spider bites already this season and usually it is a near thing and I have ended up in the hospital due to post-spider-bite infection (I didn't see the spider in any case! could have been brown recluse who knows!)
but with MM around, I just spray the spot at least 2x a day and this year they both cleared up right away. I got a spot of poison ivy too, and I'm reactive, but spritz with MM and it clears up and doesn't spread. stuff is magic!
bee stings - even wasps! major majorly helpful (just shortens painful time, reduces swelling, and prevents infection)
I know I sound like an ad. but GET THIS STUFF
also works on acne super fast

True. A fully mature cottonmouth will typically not release venom on the first strike. It's a warning to back off.

Democrat Whistleblower Claims that Adam Schiff Ordered His Staff to Illegally Leak Classified Information In Order to Rig an Indictment Against Trump
Adam Schiff, I assume, has been quizzed about this before.
And I assume he lied to federal investigators when he was asked. That's obstruction of justice.Tony SerugaThis researcher says that Eric Swalwell was part of the illegal leaking conspiracy as well:
@TonySeruga 3h 🚨 ADAM SCHIFF'S FELONY CONFESSED BY HIS OWN DEMOCRATIC STAFF: Leaked Classified Secrets to Frame Trump -- 10+ Years in Prison or Just Another Swamp Pass? Declassified FBI 302s -- released by Director Kash Patel -- expose a Democratic whistleblower (a 10+ year House Intelligence Committee veteran) who warned agents in 2017 and 2023: then-Rep. Schiff convened staff and explicitly authorized leaks of classified intelligence derogatory to President Trump. The explicit aim? To manufacture material "to indict" a sitting President during the now-discredited Russiagate probe. This was no rogue staffer. It was the ranking member -- later chairman -- of the very committee entrusted with our nation's most sensitive secrets, plotting in open conference to weaponize them against the Executive Branch. A fellow Democrat called it "illegal, unethical, and treasonous." Professor Jonathan Turley captured the constitutional horror: "a truly chilling account... perfectly moronic to commit such a felony with a planning conference meeting with staff." Under 18 U.S.C. § 798, unauthorized disclosure of classified information carries up to 10 years or more per count. "Someone," Turley rightly declared, "is a felon." The Framers designed the Intelligence Committee to defend the Republic from foreign threats and domestic overreach -- not to serve as a partisan Star Chamber. Schiff's alleged scheme was not oversight; it was subversion, the precise factional cancer the Constitution was written to excise. While he sermonized about "threats to democracy," he allegedly orchestrated one from within its most sensitive chamber. President Trump has torn back the curtain. The rule of law is not optional. Equal justice is not partisan. The same statutes that bind the rest of us must now bind the self-anointed high priest of the Russia hoax. America is watching. History is recording. Accountability cannot wait.
Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell conspired to leak classified, and falsified, information that I was a Russian Spy who had an affair with President Trump's National Security Advisor General Flynn.

Kelly is safe because to prosecute him would be an admission that what he said was actual classified information.
This is a dilemma. If they go after him, it makes what he did worse. So they just say "he is full of shit" and he gets away with it.

The main issue is getting indictments, actually. Grand juries in DC just throw everything out.
Once they actually go to trial, this DOJ actually has a pretty good record. Unless some judge in Minnesota says that the jury got it wrong and no punishment.
But this is North Florida, not Minnesota or DC.

I wouldn't be surprised that Schifffff will scream that the FBI 302s are unreliable perjury traps. Because they are. They're antiquated forms based exclusively on an agent's written notes, with MANDATORY bans on video or audio recording witness/suspect interviews, according to FBI guidelines.
If he gets the Swamp Ass, I'd love to see it cited to FINALLY get the FBI JBTs to use proper audio/video recordings in their cases and take away this most pernicious means of gleefully wiping their ass with The Constitution.

That reminds me...
I remember during COVIDmania when the government mandated people take the clot shot to "stop the spread" because you didn't want to kill granny.
And then a little while later the FNM/government started claiming that NO ONE ever said the clot shot stopped or even slowed the spread it was just to make you got less sick when you did get COVID
BUT
They still left in the rules requiring people to get the clot shot on the grounds that it would stop the spread.

Thune is saving their bacon with the SAVE Act but they can't praise a Republican leader who doesn't generally make waves with Trump.

Did nothing to prevent illegals either. And engaged in a long pointless war of occupation in Iraq. In other words, he was a liberal Republican. He fiddled while the country burned and accused his won voters of being racists when they hated on his nepot Supreme Court nomination and his amnesty.

Comparing levels of Democrat perfidy is like choosing shades of off white paint. I mean, eggshell, moonbeam or bisque, who knows.
The biggest thing the Left got out of Obama was weaponizing blacks and inventing a race war whole cloth. The effect on our culture has been brutal. But then look at the "me too" stuff - the engineered male female divide has sucked too. So now we got both.
As for the difference between the Obama Commies and the Clinton Commies it would SEEM the Obama ones are worse. Also they had someone purportedly likeable with Obama where no one on earth likes or respects that cunt.

Of course. And spell-check too. But these are the dumbest people on earth.
But ... true story: I was a baby lawyer at one of the most prestigious Big Firms in the country if not the world. Big case, billions at stake. It involved litigation against an entity with "public" in the title.
The associates more senior than me drafted a legal brief. Partners reviewed it. I happened to be in the partner's office at the time. I was involved in the case but not that brief. Partner says "Elric the Blade, we're about to file this brief, why don't you take a look."
After reading like two pages, I said "umm ... the brief says 'pubic' instead of 'public' ...." Yuge save.
So anyone can fuck up. But spellcheck woulda caught the "Virginia" misspellings. It didn't catch 'pubic' bc that's a word.

The husband believed she was having a relationship with Thomas Massie In November of 2024.
While "Massie's nasties" try to discredit Cynthia West's claims with fake community notes... buckle up, it's about to get a lot worse for Massie.

South Carolina's Legislature Will Delete C***s***er Jim Clyburn's Seat Tomorrow; Alabama Now Free to Eliminate One of Its Two Democrat Districts
Alabama has two majority-minority districts due to unconstitutional racist and Democrat Protection Racket mandates.
The Supreme Court just vacated a lower court ruling mandating the racially rigged districts, and Alabama will swiftly move to eliminate one of them.The U.S. Supreme Court cleared the way for Alabama to implement a new race-neutral congressional map ahead of the 2026 midterms on Monday.With that lawless lower court ruling vacated, the maps Alabama actually drew in 2023 should now back in effect.
In a 6-3 order, the high court vacated a series of lower court rulings that effectively resulted in the state's use of a congressional map that includes two majority-minority districts. As The Federalist reported, such affirmative action districts were historically carved out under past interpretations of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act to Democrats' benefit. ...
Responding to Monday's decision, Allen said in a statement that Alabama's May 19 primary election "will proceed as scheduled," and that his office "will remain in close contact with the Governor's Office and the Attorney General's Office as this situation continues developing." ... Writing for the dissent, Sotomayor argued that "[t]here is no reason" for the Supreme Court to vacate the district court's order and remand the matter "for reconsideration in light of the Court's new interpretation of §2 of the Voting Rights Act" in Callais. She contended that the lower court's "finding of intentional discrimination" in the battle over Alabama's 2023 proposed map "is independent of, and unaffected by, any of the legal issues discussed in Callais."
The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday set the stage for Alabama to eliminate one of two largely Black congressional districts before this year's midterm elections, creating an opening for Republicans to gain an additional U.S. House seat in a partisan battle for control of the closely divided chamber. ... Alabama officials had pointed to the Louisiana case as reason for the Supreme Court to end a judicial order to use a court-imposed House map until after the 2030 census. The high court on Monday overturned that order and directed a lower court to reconsider the case in light of the Louisiana decision. That could free the state to instead use a map approved in 2023 by the Republican-led legislature that includes only one district where Black residents comprise a majority. Anticipating a court reversal, Alabama officials recently enacted a law allowing it to void the results of a May 19 primary for some congressional districts and instead hold a new primary under the revised district boundaries. Alabama had asked for an expedited decision ahead of the primary.I don't know how long the lower court will take to issue a ruling, though. The Supreme Court vacated and remanded -- the latter word meaning "sent back to the lower court for reconsideration of its decision, now informed by the Supreme Court's new ruling and instruction." I guess the lower court could once again attempt to impose the old map, making new claims. Shipwreckedcrew, a former federal prosecutor, thinks it's unlikely the lower court can attempt to re-impose the court-mandated map without the unconstitutional command to gerrymander as many majority-minority districts as possible:
ShipwreckedcrewBut this could take time. I don't know which maps will be in effect if the lower Hawaiian judge drags this out. Meanwhile, South Carolina will eliminate race hustler Jim Clyburn's seat tomorrow.
@shipwreckedcrew 14h Alabama didn't make the same argument that the petitioners did in Louisiana. It did not argue that the race-consicous remedy was a 14th Amendment violation that was only available in very narrow circumstances. The plaintiffs in the Alabama case can challenge the old map again, but they aren't entitled to "majority-minority" districts ordered by a court as the remedy. Alabama may be forced to draw new maps that explicitly rely on partisanship and not race, but the end result is going to be the same.
South Carolina lawmakers will take up this proposed congressional map tomorrow.

But in Tennessee, because the Democrat being booted is white and his probable GOP replacement is black, it’s suddenly not.

In the south, democrats used the VRA to create artificial, racist districts to achieve a congressional majority, and now that the court has ruled those unconstitutional, those must go.
Based on non-gerrymandered districts, the democrats cannot win.

Having more competitive districts will moderate the radical Dems, and it will also expose those voters to more reasonable candidates and make them consider reality for a change.
I have spoken to blacks in safe districts, and they consider Rs to be completely unacceptable. They have no exposure to ideas like school choice except though the lens of the Dem propaganda machine (which is often driven by teachers unions, for example.)

South Carolina, where the first shot of the civil war was fired, where 40 percent of those enslaved came through the Charleston port, is today engaged in an ugly recidivism to draw maps that will deny a Black person the chance to serve in Congress.
The stakes could not be higher.
Our political fight is not on a playground, but a moral battleground.
We must stand for Black representation across the South

No it doesn't.
"The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race" is a, quote from Chief Justice John Roberts in the 2007 case Parents Involved in Community Schools v. Seattle School District No. 1. This sentiment, often called colorblind constitutionalism, argued that legal systems should not use racial distinctions, a view later used to end affirmative action in college admissions.

Run on policies that will be supported by 50% +1 of your district, and you have a good chance to be elected. Unless your constituents think you're lying through your teeth.

They're partisan Democrats above all, but there's an obvious racialism aspect to their voting behavior, most obvious when a black Democrat loses to a white Democrats in a primary (black turnout in the general goes down).
What does that do to the turnout...machines? The fortification? Is there enough juice to push for state level seats without a federal standardbearer like a 40 year black incumbent?

In the hasty desire for a quickly restored Union, the nation (after soundly defeating the Confederate insurgency) gave in to the innate tendency of human desire to take the easy route. Instead of crushing the traitors into oblivion, and never allowing them to rise again, we opted for appeasement.
I feel this also applies present day, as we are quickly approaching the end of the era known as Trumpism in America. Over the last decade, much like the Civil War, this country was torn apart. The political cult known as MAGA quite literally attempted to overthrow the U.S. government — much like the Confederacy. The actions of MAGA politicians over the last 10 years amounts to a treason that should never be forgiven.
When this long dark era of Trumpism comes to an end (and it will), I fear that once again we will, as a nation, exchange the gavels of justice with our all-too-familiar desire to return to normalcy. If normalcy is what allowed the Confederate blood of this country to rise again in the 21st century in the form of Trumpism, then normalcy is not something that we should be seeking in which to return.

It's probably still unconstitutional in red states, they just don't give a shit about the constitution. Thats exactly how Republican Privilege works.
Not that it wasn’t apparent a long time ago, but they have truly and completely abandoned any attempts to be seen as non-partisan at this point.
Just blatantly doing everything they can to ensure they give Republicans an opportunity to scheme out a win on the margins, disenfranchising as many people as they can in the process.
So why are we living like this? They clearly don’t care about the law and they’re showed to be hiding MILLIONS in bribes with zero remorse. Why are we allowing the conservative justices to go on?
The only chance is voting in mass to a point where it would be impossible steal through minor manipulation. If that fails it’s time to find a new country that’s more in line with your values.
So leave the country while we’re the lawful ones? I’m not sure that’s how this country was founded. It would make more sense if Thomas was concerned about his bribes.

No it doesn't.
"The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race" is a, quote from Chief Justice John Roberts in the 2007 case Parents Involved in Community Schools v. Seattle School District No. 1. This sentiment, often called colorblind constitutionalism, argued that legal systems should not use racial distinctions, a view later used to end affirmative action in college admissions.
Posted by: The Dems
========
Actually on race, Roberts has been consistent. See Shelby decision, the end of Gratz-Grutter O'Connor decisions in the Harvard and North Carolina race admittance cases, etc.. Roberts has his faults but his guidance of the court on race matters has been good.
Scotus cases like Adarand v Pena (1995) and Richmond v. Croson (1989) required strict scrutiny on using race during the Rehnquist court but the weaker sisters of O'Connor and Kennedy kept those precedents from being widely used by undercutting them with decisions like Grutter and Gratz in education.
Now, the crowning achievement would be ending disparate impact jurisprudence.

Yep. O'Keefe has come out with some new video hits this week showing voters being paid for their votes. 5-8 bucks per vote. Warnock did that in GA for his race by airdropping gift cards into the electorate to avoid triggering the financial surveillance of cash.
Basically, you spray out mail in ballots in poor areas and then send your ballot harvesters out to collect those ballots paying the voter. The ballot harvesters then fill them out and submit them along with the vacant lot and warehouse ballots that are collected on the route.

Ellis Edwards as Johnny Danger is drunk and riding a 250cc motorcycle. He rides up to Darvid Charvet as Matt Brody. Danger invites Brody to hop on the motorcycle and ride to the end of the pier. He tells Brody, "It's party time, slick!" Brody asks if Danger got in a fight with his friend Matt. Danger says he did and he did it for the fun. Then Danger rides around the pier, makes some ham-handed attempts at chatting up some girls, then guns it and rides the motorcycle off the pier.

Two polls released today.
One was D+3. The other was D+14.
But all polls are right, even if the results are outside of each others' margins of error, and the only thing to do is assume that the real result is halfway between them.
That's science.
(D+3 would probably mean the GOP gains a Senate seat and the House bends slightly more to the GOP. D+14 would be the most Democrat year since the Great Depression.)

Supreme Court misinterpreted the Civil Rights Act of 1964 in Griggs. But, like the Voting Rights Act misinterpretation, the clear solution is to go constitutional. 14th Amendment clearly is colorblind in application and was never intended to give the power to Congress to do what the Brits call positive discrimination powers.
Does not meet strict scrutiny of being narrowly tailored remedy for past discrimination. The focus of the CRA was individual fairness in consideration for jobs, etc. not 'groups' and the same goes for the 13th to 15th Amendments. Equal protection of the laws was drafted so that no classification should be used by the state to purposefully affect individuals right to be treated fairly under the law--e.g. like every one else that is similarly situated.

This wasn't wit of the staircase, this was wit of some group of people able to intake Trump's words and EVENTUALLY come up with one-liners.

I doubt it. Minorities are not enamored of their elites which they have noticed have done little to help them over time but done quite well for themselves in the process. There is a reason these are rotten boroughs in urbanized and racialized cheat districts. The elected officials do nothing to help the people but yet do quite well for themselves. See Tiffany Henyard, Stacey Abrams, or Fani Willis as an example.
Hard to get upset when these sorts lose their jobs when they never actually did them in the first place.

Scotus had to go constitutional on it via the narrowly tailored bit because Supreme Court only facially interprets a law ONCE. You can challenge the law as applied but not the language of the law. And the Justice Brennan, in Thornburg v. Gingles introduced a vote dilution test to remedy past discrimination. The recent Callais decision went with Adarand (and Harvard/NC cases plus Shelby County districting decision) in junking remedies for past discrimination. It require evidence of present and active discrimination as the intent for districting. Ironically, that is pretty much what the left openly has done in state and local districts to create safe seats for minorities. They thought it was safe to do to enshrine their power.

To my mind, this can only turn the ratchet TOWARDS Republicans. There are no more Dem seats available because they've already gerrymandered themselves into their maximum number of seats. They can only lose representation now. There is nothing more to gain.

Let me share a story highlighting how lefty LIVs work...
A few years ago I was working in a small city. My lefty cow-workers got excited about a candidate for mayor who promised to save da Erf. One of her proposals make people stop using big cars.
Now...my cow-workers mostly drove big cars/trucks, and tended to be fat.
So the mayor wins and requires all the corporate lots be repainted so at least 50% are for compact cars and the company that runs our office building complied. Immediately my cow-workers start scratching each other's cars...exactly what the Mayor's plan wanted.
Do they blame her? No. Its the fault of the management company. And yes they all voted for her again.

Yes, there's no perfection but No Justice, No Peace is now the biggest issue regarding state voting maps.
Organizing for Action (OFA) is no longer operating as a standalone, independent organization. In 2019, OFA formally merged with the National Democratic Redistricting Committee (NDRC) to become All On The Line, focusing heavily on gerrymandering and redistricting. The original OFA structure and nationwide grassroots advocacy work were folded into this new initiative, with many digital tools and materials inherited by the Obama Alumni Association.
In 2019, OFA shifted its primary focus from general issue advocacy (health care, climate change) to redistricting, joining with Attorney General Eric Holder’s campaign. The successor campaign, All On The Line, operates under the NDRC to combat gerrymandering and restore fairness to elections.
Training materials and organizing manuals from the original OFA are now managed by the Obama Alumni Association, preserving the group's "Respect - Empower - Include" principles.
While the national 501(c)(4) entity dissolved, some local chapters (like OFA Westside LA) continued to operate independently. (AI Overview)

And they want to destroy the system to facilitate cheating. Under a popular vote, they literally only need to cheat in one large locale. If they want to make it believable, from several large locales. Generate votes from, what, New York City, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Chicago in any amount needed.
National popular vote makes it far easier to cheat in friendly states where they can know they won’t get caught, and if they do they can know there won’t be consequences.
The electoral system puts an upper limit to the usefulness of cheating in any one state. It doesn’t matter how much they cheat in California; it won’t deliver more than California’s electoral vote total. Cheating in Democrat-run states that will let them get away with it doesn’t help them, because those electoral votes are already in the bag. They need to cheat in states where there is at least a tiny chance that someone will expose and prosecute—they had to work very, very hard to keep red states from restoring fair elections in 2020) , because those are the states where cheating gains them electoral votes.

IMO, a national AI- or computer-drawn representation map is a reasonable aspiration for a constitutional amendment or federal law some time in the distant future.

We are about ten years away if the component supply bottleneck can be fixed for feature length films. Probably more like a couple of years before photo realistic shorts can be produced, less if anime or other animated techniques.
Been following Amelia videos which are probably using big iron as a test for how good the technology is. And it is there for ads as you can see with the Pratt LA campaign videos.
It will be as if you imagine it, the computer can create your imagination. Course the downside is truly horrific stuff of nightmares for some which will probably lead to depraved continuation in reality for them. Imagine the AI movie tech in the hands of Muzzies for example or violent Troons and what they will produce.

Naziism: Government controls everything but citizens can own things. This can result in people who are not government drones having nice houses or cars. This is the big complaint that leftists have against it. They just used the "killing undesirables" as an excuse.

By eliminating the Permanent Apportionment Act of (I think) 1921, restoring something more like the original ratio of 1:30k, we'd have something like 7k representatives.
We manage that by 1) Adding three legislatively-elected senators per state to restore states' control of their senators, 2) Eliminating Congressional staff, 3) creative term limits, and 4) Restricting bill creation.
And by moving Congress over to RFK stadium.

And how much of a built-in advantage they've been coasting on for near 100 years; since FDR.
There is almost no one alive that has seen a Democrat Party have to play on a national level playing field--it's always been tilted heavily in their favor.
And that's before the massive media advantage they enjoyed until the late 80s and 90s.
Democrats are not, and have been for 100 years, the party of Americans--they are the party forced on America via various schemes both legal and illegal.
Mostly illegal.

The most chef kiss thing about it is that they spent a decade or two laughing in the faces of those who built them up, supported their work, cheered their names, promoted them, adored them even.
They did it because they got too big for their boots. They had a monopoly on visual media and decided to rub it in.
And now when the computers come to replace them, they will find their friends on the Left are all mere Judas's looking for the next handout or payoff and shiny new toy. And the ones who would have fought to keep them, who would have organized and spent their hard earned money to make sure entertainment stayed real with true human actors, are all in unison gonna say....

I detest modern directors and their conceits of Hollyweird. Their purpose is to entertain me; not teach me anything nor cater to the perverted tastes of elites.
No entertainment, you won't get squat from me. Plenty of other times and directors from olden times to get that from. Modern music has already driven me from the hideous and vile music scene to the past. Modern art is so repulsive that even money laundering and tax avoiding elites are ashamed of it. Modern sculpture resembles whatever one can find in the average garbage dump. And modern literature is worse than the Sears Catalog of yore, not even good enough for toilet paper in an outhouse. Plays and theater, boring, tendentious, and morally corrupt aimed purposefully at offending the rubes. Modern architecture, something that inspires a deep hatred for humanity and architects that create these anti human monstrosities.
And yet, all of this will be swept away from this horrendous epoch of history just like history has flushed rancid elites down the toilet multiple times in the past.

Reading Will and Ariel Durant's History of Civilizations, I have not found a historical epoch where the present Western culture has been so devoid of truth, beauty, and eternal values. Parts of it, yes, the entirety of all entertainment, no.
Our culture peaked somewhere about 1960's and has since then descended into a vast wasteland of putrid content.

It is at its core a revolt against God. I want to blame the hippie movement but I think that was partially a CIA creation which means the revolt started earlier.

Since the whole state is affected by the cities, the whole state should have a vote in the management of the city:
The mayor of the capital and any city over 1 million is a state-wide election.
And a city council seat for every next million population.
Local control of large cities is a festering failure.

Yes Mansa Musa is an interesting figure in African history. But there is a long time frame here
Late 600s:Islam conquers North Africa, inherits trade routes south. To this point the Byzantines/Christians only had any really connections to Ethiopia (which would be lost again until the Portuguese sailed around Africa)
700s: Islam decides it needs to dominate the people living their and sends war/slave raiding parties which eventually conquer them.
1300: Mansa Musa, and other west Africa Muslim rulers, get rich using their slaves locally in the mines.

The first call came to Bob Allen’s phone at 6 p.m. ET on a Friday. The message: Get the repo men ready.
Spirit Airlines was still in operation and planes were in the air. But the aircraft leasing firms that own dozens of its bright yellow jets were getting anxious as Spirit barreled toward liquidation. They wanted their planes back.
“I had six hours to find 20 pilots,” Allen said.
Nomadic Aviation Group, his company, had been standing by for months as Spirit teetered closer to the brink. Allen and co-founder Steve Giordano quickly assembled a roster of pilots, most of whom had worked for Spirit. They made a WhatsApp group, which swelled to 40 pilots. One had just landed.
“He said, ‘can I fly in shorts?’” Giordano recalled. Not a problem. “We generally go khakis and polos, but you know, you’ve got to do what you’ve got to do,” he told him.

"Enjoyed", past tense? If the chief means of distortion - simply not reporting things - is considered, the advantage has probably grown.
When there was only the legacy media, and it was bad, though not nearly as farcical as it is now, they grossly distorted the "news" against such as Nixon and Reagan. Who won nearly every state in their re-elections.
Socially incorrect to even muse on the question, but perhaps there's a problem - an enormous, defining problem - with the voters, and not just the media.

Lot of psy ops going on and we cannot be ignorant of that.
I have watched some psy ops from start to "finish" and as you know even detailed several here "live".
Essentially the "point" is to mindfuck as many in as short a time as possible and what's more to create and nurture the environments for said manipulation. Covid was the classic example. They had us in a perfect storm ready to be mindfucked into oblivion. And it's very very very difficult to "opt out" of a mindfuck operation since generally "everyone else" is affected in some way.
When people say "covid broke people" they are saying that it was weak willed and scared people who got affected by this virus but the reality is in general the planned manipulations successfully targeted them.
Why do you think the Left sends out all one message on EVERYTHING? It's not just because they don't want to lose arguments. It is targeted mental mindfuckination.

pg 229 -232 is titled "No Final Translation of Homer Possible." By Butcher and Lang.
There would have been less controversy about the proper method of Homeric translation, if critics had recognized that the question is a purely relative one, that of Homer there can be no final translation. The taste and literary habits of each age demand different qualities in poetry, and therefore a different sort of rendering of Homer. To the men of the time of Elizabeth, Homer would have appeared bald, it seems, and lacking in ingenuity, if he had been presented in his antique simplicity. For the Elizabethan age, Chapman supplied what was then necessary, and the mannerisms that were then deemed of the essence of poetry, - namely, daring and luxurious conceits. Thus in Chapman's verse Troy must "shed her towers for tears of overthrow"; and when the winds toss Odysseus about, their sport must be called "the horrid tennis."

Oh yeah. The left has a real thing for eating its own. What's really fascinating is how the trans movement, which glommed on to the gay movement, is seeking to erase homosexuals. Homosexuality is same-sex attraction. But there's actually no such thing as sex, the tranny ideologues tell us. Most youth with "gender" issues grow out of them and post-puberty figure out they're just gay. But that's not good enough the trans butchers say, and swoop in to mutilate the kids' bodies. Gays are derided for not wanting to have sex with trans men. Lesbians are derided for not wanting to have sex with trans women. It's the trannies who are the actual eliminationists within the LGBTQEDWTF "movement," all the while wailing about a non-existent "trans genocide."

Texas has 38 seats. If Republicans win 58% of the congressional vote they get 58% of 38 which is 22. Dems get 16. Obviously there would need to be rounding up or down rules. Maybe the overall winner gets a bonus 1-2 seats or something. And states with only 2 seats would still be 2-0 if the vote was overwhelmingly one way or the other.
Then each party has a primary (secondary?) vote to determine who will represent the seats they won.
If every state did that, you’d have a house that much better represents the will of the people. And you’d have actual competitive elections in most states. No more 9-0 states like Massachusetts where 40% of the voters have no representation.

ALSO, Barry was still a young man (relative) in 2016 and he'd have still been on the bench.
Instead they ran HIllary (who WASN'T young at that point) and lost AND have nobody on the bench. All they need is someone who looks good and can read a telelprompter... AND THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE THAT.

I didn't say "admirable". Pretty nasty, when you get down to it. Point is, civilization can happen without natural transportation arteries.

And yet most of those colonies devolved rather than kept up. Rhodesia and South Africa are examples but you find the same in other former colonies.
IQ is a subject that is uncomfortable for a lot of people because it has a rancid past history of those glomming onto it. But yet, it is pretty clear by multiple triangulations that it exists beyond schooling, beyond the Flynn effect (which seems to be dying btw), etc. And that culture will interact with that population general iq. And the cruelest thing is that IQ is inheritable as that becomes more clear over time. Assortative mating makes it relevant over time as well in a culture.
That whole field of genetics and iq has been choked off as valid study because of 'racism' but yet, it is a fact, that cousin marriages has promoted a massive number of birth defects and lowered general population iq in Middle Eastern populations.
Move them to England, they do the same thing as Pakistan, and voila, a huge spike in birth defects and mental issues there in those populations.

From what I recall, the Incan civilization had pretty good roads and used alpacas on them as beasts of burden. Did not, however, come up with the wheel.

Those rivers that don't seasonally disappear (or close to) have MASSIVE waterfalls- huge, abrupt changes in altitude from the interior to the coast, not gentle decreases like in North America and Europe.
Pre-modern societies can't deal with issues like that.

Most of the land transportation was on human-back though t here were dray-llamas in the Andes t hat could take minor loads.
There was a trade up the Pacific coasts of south and central America, though it seems to have been short range and more "chain" commerce than long-range commerce. There were also traders moving in the Gulf of America and among the islands, and in fact the first contacts the Aztecs had with the Spanish was one of those island hopping traders

Texas has 38 seats. If Republicans win 58% of the congressional vote they get 58% of 38 which is 22. Dems get 16. Obviously there would need to be rounding up or down rules. Maybe the overall winner gets a bonus 1-2 seats or something. And states with only 2 seats would still be 2-0 if the vote was overwhelmingly one way or the other.
Then each party has a primary (secondary?) vote to determine who will represent the seats they won.
If every state did that, you’d have a house that much better represents the will of the people. And you’d have actual competitive elections in most states. No more 9-0 states like Massachusetts where 40% of the voters have no representation.

Yeah but we don't have a Parliament. That's voting for party. The Germans do something like this: everyone gets two votes: 1) for their rep which may or may not be voted on by the basis of party and 2) what party they want running things.
