Wednesday Night ONT - July 1, 2026 [Magna Carta]
Where to start? The beginning of course...
Did you know that I was not originally called the Magna Carta? At the time (1215), I was known as the "Charter of Liberties" (or the "Charter of Runnymede" named after the location of agreement). I was not developed as a major overhaul to the English government or society. I was simply a written confirmation of rights and customs to correct abuses. England was essentially a feudal system. Nobles and barons were granted estates (aka "huge tracts of land") by the Crown in exchange for loyalty, income and military personnel when required. Lords, knights and vassals gave loyalty in exchange for smaller protection and land. Ultimately, the King sat at the top of the pyramid to manage the country. England was not a peaceful utopia before the Charter was signed but it operated through a system of laws, traditions and cultural expectations. By custom, the King was expected to honor the norms but what happens if the King abuses his power and authority? What happens if the King bends or breaks the expected rules of behavior? In many cases, nothing. The King's power was absolute. There was no recourse short of violence and rebellion. King John of England tested those limits. He was King of England from 1199 until his death in 1216 and spent most of that time fighting over Normandy with France. He spent a lot, raised taxes and fees, unilaterally changed prior agreements, confiscated land from barons that could no longer pay, and imprisoned political enemies. He was also deeply suspicious of any barons that had any money or power (i.e., most of them). He was a poopyhead.
I attempted to resolve a power struggle in a feudal country. (Good luck, right!?) I did not overhaul rights and privileges for the entire country or everyone in the population - just the relationship between the barons and the crown. I did not contain new political philosophy and my clauses were not unprecedented. I was a pragmatic compromise. I was an attempt at a peace treaty. The barons renewed oaths of loyalty and copies of the charter were formally issued. As you might imagine, nobody was happy with me and I failed. Bummer. Neither side trusted the other. The King asked the Pope to reject the deal (which he did). Less than three months after I was born, the First Barons' War erupted. King John died in October 1216, leaving nine year old Henry III as his heir and the war continued. While I failed, my language was carried into other treaties and attempts at resolving tension between the crown and the barons. The First Barons' War came to an end with the Treaty of Lambeth in September 1217. Subsequently, the Charter of the Forest was issued in November 1217. It was considered an evolutionary complement to the 1215 Charter of Liberties. Having trouble keeping track of the charters? You're not the only one. This is where the Magna Carta name was born and applied to the June 1215 Charter of Liberties to avoid confusing them. In 1225, King Henry III re-issued and re-affirmed the charter primarily to placate barons who were asked to finance more military action in France. The 1225 affirmation was arguably more voluntary and definitive than the 1215 agreement which gave it strength. Magna Carta principles had staying power but became a bargaining chip for the next several decades. It gave the barons leverage (even if it was cited or ignored when convenient). King Edward I reissued the 1225 charters in 1297 in return for - you guessed it - a new tax.
Nice to know that what I said in 1215 at Runnymede had enough wisdom and staying power to change history for the better. Now you know. Happy Birthday, America!
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."Ronaldus Magnus, March 30, 1961

When my kids were about 10, I took them to see a "friendly match" (we call them exhibition games) in which Argentina played Bosnia.
There is a sizable Bosnian population in south St. Louis. I bet no-one here knew that?
By chance, we were seated among the Bosnian fans. The Bosnians impressed me as being azaleas: "If you not root for either team, why you come anyway?"
Kind of unreasoning hostility, right? I still remember this experience whenever I hear or read the word "Bosnia."

I don't think anyone remembers King John as being anything other than a bad king. I never read, or heard, anybody say of him, "He was the kind king who signed the Magna Carta." His contemporaries called him "John Softsword."
Whenever someone lists the worst kings of England after the Conquest, King John usually qualifies for the top 3, and always for the top 5.
For the title of "worst king," John usually ranks behind only Edward II and Richard III, from what I've read. The others who are considered about as bad were merely weak.

Senior social studies teacher said, you are getting ready to go into the world, take notes of everything I say, it will be you outline to success. He was right. He outlined credit, how credit worked, technically how to get it and manipulate it and discipline your activity to maximize benefit. He hit other things just as critical.
It was a blueprint on how the world works, how to use it to your advantage and what you have to do to get it.

Fun fact, helium was discovered on the sun (hence the name) before it was discovered to exist on earth.
In 1868, some astronomers looking at various spectral lines during an eclipse noticed a line that didn't correspond to any known element on earth.
It wasn't until 1895 that helium was isolated on earth, and determined to be the same element as on the Sun.

Well, on a positive note, if King John wasn't such a brutal piece of human excrement, the Magna Carta never would have been forced upon him by the noble families. As I recall, he pretty much failed at everything he attemped...and left the crown in dire straights financially. In his free time he was executing relatives and alienating the Church if some of the writings are to be believed.

You had an exceptional teacher!
Our skool district was 90% union-drones, only there to teach what they *had to* and otherwise did not GAF. The best "education" I ever got, occurred outside the walls of public indoctrination.
I did have some excellent teachers. A few. But the majority were just putting in their time.

Afraid I must disagree profoundly. No British king except Richard III ever arranged the premeditated murder of 2 kids. I'm not receptive to any argument that "some other dude did it." Richard controlled the Tower (the means and opportunity for the murders), and the children represented a prodigious dormant threat only to Richard (hence the motive). The Little Princes were the least of Henry Tudor's worries at the time.

Doing journal citations, I had a thought to contact authors to try to cadge reprints from them, the way it used to be done.
I picked an author; we'll call him Vernon. He's at the Imperial College, London. I met him many years ago, a nice English fellow a couple of years younger than me.
Googled his name to get an e-mail address and found he's now Sir Vernon. And here I am just living out my days.

The remarkable thing about "English" history before 1066 is the various players, and where they were from, and how influential they may have been. It really was a tiny world at the time. It took Alfred's grandson to actually unite most of England, and even he had issues with that. There were surprisingly few people involved. Being "king" only held so much sway, and could be lost in a heartbeat.
So much of that history is pure chance.

I lost my senses for a moment, but then my wife ran out and led me to the house. After that such noise came, as if rocks were falling or cannons were firing, the Earth shook, and when I was on the ground, I pressed my head down, fearing rocks would smash it. When the sky opened up, hot wind raced between the houses, like from cannons, which left traces in the ground like pathways, and it damaged some crops. Later we saw that many windows were shattered, and in the barn, a part of the iron lock snapped.

He had the most disgusting, bloody, murderous reign imaginable. That in addition to beheading wives because of his own sexual impotency.

Henry VIII was a randy pig, and not very attractive. He cut a fine figure when he was young, but by the time he was messing with Ann, he was already beginning to rot from the inside. It is likely that Ann slept with shim to produce both Elizabeth but not the horribly misformed miscarriage she produced after, so she probably got that elsewhere. It is very likely that Henry was mostly impotent by then. He was certainly disillusioned by her act of purity before marriage.
He probably was the father of his only male heir. After that, he probably couldn't get it up to save his life, let alone his marriages.
Dude put himself above the Church, and nearly up to God. His legacy is the degeneration that is England today.

The anchor babies I see in my daily life, my friends and my kids' friends... it might be anecdotal, but the ones from south of our border I personally know adore this country and are grateful to be here. It really depends on the kid and the family. A lot of times their love of American culture conflicts with their parents' traditional ways, like most kids of immigrants. They aren't voting in lockstep with the dems like their parents did, so the dems are getting a little sick of them.

Here's the disturbing part of all that. Most of the executions he "ordered" were not actually at his behest. When the "ruler" is completely crazy, sycophants will do anything to stay in his good graces, and murder is just one of the many evils committed in that ploy. All Henry had to do was complain about some inconvenience or another, and his minions would remove said inconvenience. If you read the sentence of Ann Boleyn, it is clear that it is a tautology, not a real sentence. They made it look like she had committed treason, but the argument is very thin and weak. But, it is what Henry wanted to hear, so it carried the day.
Evil.

Henry VIII:
As stated, Anne was murdered, along with 5 others who were accused of having had sex with her-- including Anne's own brother. The whole case was a crock.
However, Katherine Howard did likely commit treason, i.e., adultery.
Richard III as "victim of Tudor propaganda": the Italian ambassador wrote CONTEMPORANEOUSLY that Richard was universally believed to have had probably had the Little Princes murdered, i.e., that was BEFORE the Tudors.
Historians have long maintained that Richard had unusual difficulty amassing an army at Bosworth-- in large part because of disgust with the disappearance of the Little Princes.
None of that was Tudor propaganda. Richard had 100% control of the Tower. The Princes had a FAR better claim to the throne than Richard. Otoh, EVERYBODY had a better claim to the throne than Henry Tudor.

I don"t think the de la Poles Henry put to death were children. If any of them were children, I missed it-- which is possible.
I'm not making a case that Henry VIII was a good and decent man. He wasn't. He was, however, not a weak king. Historians I've read say that popular opinion in Henry's time probably favored a national church, over the Pope in Rome. No-one took a public opinion poll, though.

Peel back but don't remove the leaves. Remove silk while rinsing under running water. (Butter, s & p if desired but not necessary before cooking.) Replace the leaves, trim stalk and maybe the tip if it's sparse, roll up in foil. Place on top rack for about 1/2 hour, more or less, while grilling other delicious foods.
I think the leaves add flavor.

One would not have wanted to sell life insurance to these folks.

Doubtful, considering the number of martyrs to the Catholic Church who were murdered during his and his children's tenures. I don't think anyone was ready for any "church" that wasn't the Holy Roman Catholic Church they all lived under at the time. The choice Henry made was political and sexual, nothing more. It certainly wasn't religious in any true sense.

It's ironic that More is treated as an avatar of freedom of conscience today. Sure, he stood firm for his own convictions against the onslaught of Henry's lust-driven theology. But as Chancellor, he watched innocent Protestants get burned at the stake at Smithfield for their heretical beliefs and did nothing to intervene.
It's too bad. More was a tremendously talented lawyer and therefore is someone I would like to admire.

I can't argue the matter any further. Who controlled the Tower? And who else had the capability of having the Princes buried in the walls after their murder? No-one else had the opportunity but Richard. No-one else had a motive but Richard, either. As stated, there were like 125 people who had a better claim than Henry Tudor!

Well, that was his job. Protestants may be perfectly acceptable now, but at the time, they were heretics (actually, they still are...), so burning them made perfect sense.
You can judge people by today's standards, but it makes no sense in time.
By those standards, George Washington was horridly evil man because he had slaves. But at the time, it was perfectly normal. We don't like it, but that hardly matters, historically.

Update on my mother. They did the procedure around noon to put in the vein filter to keep any more clots from getting up to the heart and lungs. She did well.
This morning, due to all the blood thinners they had her on, another big hematoma popped up on her left leg. It was incredibly painful -- she said "Gollie bum!". That's about the strongest cussin' she ever does.
It burst in post-op after the procedure, freaking everybody out, but no big deal. And that relieved the pressure.
She was sleeping when we left her this evening.

If interested, read some of the eyewitness accounts there. They're quite fascinating. Heat pulse followed by shock wave, just like a big nuke.
Had that thing come in a few minutes to and hour earlier, it would've hit Canada/Alaska and perhaps the northern US. Hour later and it would've hit Moscow and maybe Europe.

Because of his position as Chancellor, he was required to do it. The reasoning sounds bizarre to our ears today, but they didn’t question. The Protestant reformation was breaking across Northern Europe, and those in power believed they intended to overthrow all society. (Some said exactly that). Authority saw them as we would see violent anarchists today, and vowed to stamp them
Out brutally.
It was still a time when to oppose the Church was to oppose the State. This, and all the killing that happened across Europe until the 30 years war ended, was why our forbears came round to the idea that a complete separation of church and state would keep a whole lot of blood from being spilled.

Built in 1900 by kerosene tycoon Walter Hubbard, this 32-foot stone tower completely baffles historians. No one knows what inspired it. Is it a clone of a Norman watchtower on the Rhine? A 12th-century Turkish tower on the Danube? Or a replica of a medieval ruin in Craigellachie, Scotland? Hubbard took the secret to his grave. Which theory do you believe?

If "the cat" is doing many different stunts, it's probably several stunt cats. This is one reason movie cats tend to be one color, or something simply-patterned like a tabby.
Also interesting is the way they get cats to react, like to hiss on cue. The secret: bring in another unfamiliar cat.

Oh and Captain Marvel is noted as a showcase for how cats can be CGI'ed into the shot. Maybe it shouldn't be because that movie was bad.

Antifa gunman Matthew Dolloff's charges were dropped by Denver's DA after a year in county. Not enough evidence. Even though he was being employed as an "Antifa sherpa" by Denver 7 News when he murdered a Trump supporter, and their own cameras were live and captured the murder, along with dozens of bystanders' cameras.

So far, 6,461 people have been rescued. There are 3,660 foreign rescue workers, 148 dogs, and 49 support vehicles in the disaster area. According to the latest official report, 855 buildings were damaged, 189 of which collapsed completely.
at least 2,000 are reported dead and 10,571 injured, according to the most recent official tally, which has not been updated with the number of missing persons.
Thousands of civilians have formed aid networks, which include creating websites listing the names of survivors and the deceased, and have set up collection centers to receive donations and transport them to those in need, especially in La Guaira state
A total of 80,870 families have received assistance. In addition, 15,467 people have registered as volunteers for rescue efforts.

But in the classical sense. Yes. You are right. Because a bullet would have 100% of its force applied on the pure horizontal plane. With no vertical force.
Here's a good one. For the maximum distance WITH gravity ... that optimal angle in 45 degrees. And every artillery-man will tell you that's bullshit. But in the theoretical world ? 45 degrees.

Re the 45 degree angle. With the variation of air resistance with height, you get more range with a higher angle because you get it up out of the thicker air. It travels farther horizontally even with lower initial horizontal velocity because the extra height greatly reduces drag.

In Theory ? 45 degrees is optimal. Because you split the difference between fighting gravity ... and horizontal projection. So you pay half the tax on the way up. Then get it all back on the way down.

My grandfather built the Gopher House in Laramie. Shaped like a ship, made of stone and concrete, never got to finish the roof, although my dad said maybe he did but it might have been burnt down. So, nobody ever lived there except the gophers, hence the name.
That part of the old farm belongs to a horse stable now, and they call it Stone Church horse stables or something like that. It was never a church.
I suspect when my generation dies out, nobody will have any idea why he built it, either. Not that we were all that sure while he was alive.

When I took physics, this was demonstrated by Monkey and Hunter problem. A hunter with rifle is same height on a cliff as a monkey hanging from a tree limb. If the hunter aims at the monkey and the monkey lets go lets go of the limb simultaneously with the hunter firing, will the bullet hit the monkey?

Oh, reality follows physics perfectly, everywhere and always. The difference between what you call "reality" and theory is sometimes in the latter we assume cows are spherical so as to make the problem tractable and simpler to see the basic picture. All the actual factors involved would make things intractable at first blush.

The Newtonian shit works quite well ... as a start. And then we have to do corrections for shit. Because our physical world is complicated.
You have to compensate for the fact that gravity pulls on both the feather and the lead ball ... but wind resistance. The annoying fact that 14.7 PSI acts on all of us explains some things. Explains a lot in basic fluids.
And then we figure out that hydraulics isn't perfect. Because there is no such thing as a perfectly incompressible fluid. Or a perfectly viscous one. Or a perfect conductor or insulator or blah blah blah.
Yet. To teach it. To understand it all - at least for me - we have to start with these perfectly imperfect models.

The distance between hunter and monkey does not make a difference. I believe the textbook specified separation distances of 50 and 100 yards asking students to solve both, learning the lesson of gravity acting the same on both the bullet (fired horizontally) and monkey (falling vertically).

One of DCs superheroes (the inaptly named Beast Boy) got his powers because he was (a) bitten by a green monkey, (b) got sick from it and was going to die, and (c) his parents created a serum to heal him, based on green monkeys being carriers of the disease but not affected by it.
When it came out that the AIDS virus was the result of a virus jumping from green monkeys, who are not affected by it, to humans (by an apparently circuitous path)… well, DC has never admitted the obvious.

Hot or boiling water will freeze faster than cold water - it will make ice cubes faster in your freezer than cold water. Of course this doesn’t make any sense, till you try it.
Sort of. The cubes will be comprised of about half the former volume of water , much having evaporated away. If the comparison were made in sealed containers, then this wouldn’t hold true.

OK ... serious ? I'm not going to mock or pick at you in any way.
Classical physics says everything works on forces. So for a bullet ? From a perfectly level gun - it travels 100% of the force applied in the "flat" direction. We'd call that the "X" plane. And that bullet - from the time its fired out of the barrel - which is somewhat of a construct just so people can identify with the problem - falls at the rate of gravity.
And that monkey ... if it lets go at the same time and the rifle is aimed at the tippy top of its fingers ... drops at the same speed.
The rate of the bullet coming out flat doesn't matter. In theory. Thats the point.

This is also bullshit. It’s true, nothing will get any colder than ambient temperature (but then, neither will your ears).
I can attest even an unheated shed will be preferable for your car in arctic subzero weather, out of the wind, if you want it to start easier the next morning. Latent heat will be retained to … a degree.
Eventually it will reach ambient temperature, but wind most definitely affects how quickly it will achieve ambient temperatures. Just like the human body.
When it’s really cold and windy, an automobile engine will never warm up. That’s when folks start putting a piece of cardboard in front of the radiator.

Imagine a rifle barrel parallel to, and 6 feet above the ground. It launches a bullet at 5,280 feet per second. That means one second later, it's one mile away, assuming no gravity (and no air resistance).
But there is gravity, and it starts attracting the bullet toward the ground as soon as it exits the barrel. Assuming Earth gravity, it will take a little less than 1/2 second for it to fall 6 feet. That means the bullet will hit the ground 2,640 feet away (shorter, actually due to atmospheric drag, but let's not worry about that.)
So, if the monkey were 6 feet above the ground (same as the bullet), and 2,640 feet away (again would be less due to the atmospheric drag we're ignoring), and dropped at the exact instance the bullet left the barrel, they would both be dropping vertically at the same accelleration from gravity (32 ft/second per second) and hit the ground at the same time. The difference is the horizontal velocity acquired by the bullet when fired.

AI sez: "No, they would not hit the Earth at the same time. The heavier object would cause a faster collision."
The reason Galileo's experiment works is that the masses he dropped are insignificant in magnitude to the earth's mass. But it doesn't work when the masses are comparable in magnitude.

Exactly. You don't start teaching gravity with General Relativity.
And even simpler than that, you don't teach kids arithmetic by starting out with set theory and the foundations number theory (what do we mean by "addition". How do we define that from first principles.
Nope, you have to know the basics before you can get advanced, and when advanced enough, get back to the very logical foundations of what you started with.

Actually -- no. It isn't true. It only appears true because of our limited ability to measure time accurately.
Why is it not true? Because while the Earth is indeed pulling the bowling ball and the feathers toward it equally, simultaneously (if the experiments are done sequentially) the bowling ball and the feathers are also pulling the Earth UPWARD with their mass. And since the bowling ball has more mass than do the feathers, it pulls the Earth upward slightly more than do the feathers, and hence the bowling ball will meet the Earth sooner, because the earth will have moved upward to meet it more than it did to meet the feathers.
With proper measurement, we could detect that the bowling ball "fell" (i.e. met the Earth) for 0.00000000000000000000000000001 seconds less than did the feathers. But we can't measure time that finely, so the two experiments have the illusion of taking the same amount of time.

Nobody laugh. Seriously. What was just explained was Relativity. Which is why we don't build a damn structure off anything Einstein ever wrote. Einstein would have been an absolutely awful Structural Engineer.
But zombie is not wrong with that quote. That is Relativity.

Quick Hits
The DOJ is now investigating Eric Swalwell's best pal and fellow sex tourist Rueben Gallego for misappropriating donor funds for personal use.
DOJ investigating Dem Sen. Ruben Gallego after records revealed he blew campaign cash on Super Bowl tickets, Disney tripsMark Halperin suggested that when Gallego wanted to take the family to Disney World, he would direct a campaign staffer to organize a bullshit ten minute "rally" in Orlando. Then he'd say "the law allows me to bring my family on political trips." Gallego just happened to arrange a lot of "political meetings" at major tourist locations.
The Justice Department has launched an investigation into Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) related to luxury outings and family trips paid for with campaign donations, The Post confirmed. The DOJ probe into possible campaign finance violations by the potential 2028 Democratic presidential, first reported by Axios, stems from a whistleblower complaint out of Southern California. News of the investigation surfaced just hours after the Senate Ethics Committee rejected a complaint filed against the Arizona Democrat accusing him of campaign finance violations and sexual misconduct. ... Last week, Politico reported that Gallego tapped into a joint campaign account with his ex-buddy, disgraced former Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.), to attend Super Bowl LVII in Arizona with his wife in 2023. The "Swallego Victory Fund," which both Gallego and Swalwell set up in October 2022, held a fundraiser at the big game and spent over $37,000 between tickets and meals. Federal Election Commission records also show Gallego has spent $18,000 from his political action committee and campaign coffers on child care since 2019, including a $400 payment to his mother-in-law for babysitting. Gallego also took his family on trips to Disney World and Disneyland, where he participated in PAC retreats. Records show the Disneyland excursion cost close to $1,500 for accommodations, not including flights.
The investigation focuses on Gallego's usage of campaign funds since 2019 for family trips, according to a source familiar with the probe. Federal Election Commission records show that Gallego has billed his campaign accounts for trips to Puerto Rico, Nantucket, Miami and other places. Federal records also show that in 2023, a political action committee set up by Gallego and former Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell of California spent over $37,000 on tickets and meals for the Super Bowl. According to records, the committee has since been terminated. Swalwell resigned from Congress in April and ended his bid for California governor after several women accused him of sexual misconduct. Swalwell has denied the allegations.Halperin also suggested -- possibly in jest, but I think maybe "kidding on the square," that is, saying it in jest but kind of meaning it -- that the "southern California whistleblower" might be none other than Eric Swalwell himself, who would know about how the pair misused their PAC money as they formed the PAC together. The motive, Halperin said, would be vengeance, for Eric Swalwell's old Adultery Trip partner turning on him when Swalwell had his fall. Democrats desperately need a leader with gravitas who can warn them against the perils of communism -- but all they've got is the Race Hustling Communist Obama, writes Miranda Devine. But he's too busy setting himself up for Generational Wealth at the Ozymandias Presidential Center.
Miranda Devine: Dems are in desperate need of a new leader as Communists overrun their party -- but all they got is Obama Just as his party is overrun by Communist revolutionaries, former President Barack Obama has decided to take center stage in a frenetic public relations campaign, ostensibly to promote his so-called library. He's here, there and everywhere, silkily opining about everything under the sun, except the only thing that matters: the disintegration of his party. Like Nero playing the fiddle while Rome burned, Obama is curiously detached from the disaster he helped create. Democrats desperately need a leader to rally around, but all they have is Obama. He is the only former Democratic president who is still sharp, charismatic and dynamic enough to take up the mantle. Former President Bill Clinton, while reasonably well-liked and not crazy, despite his wife, has significant health problems and is in no shape to do more than make the occasional token appearance and help raise money. Clearly, Joe Biden, the only other living former Democratic president, can barely function in public, as was evident in his Saturday night performance at a fundraiser for the Maryland Democratic Party. Quite why he -- or Dr. Jill -- would want to mark the second anniversary of his disastrous final debate humiliation against Donald Trump by fumbling through his first keynote address in a casino at a boxing-themed "Fight Back & Win" gala is a mystery.
Maybe it's because he can't rest unless he is exorcising the Trump monster still living in his head. "He even hired his old pool guy to fix the Reflecting Pool. Whoa, what a loser," Biden said of his predecessor-turned-successor. The audience clapped like seals because all the establishment wing of the party has, by way of policies or aspiration, is Trump derangement. So all eyes turn to Obama, a lithe and relatively youthful 64, whose God-given gifts still shine brightly, as the savior who will lead them out of the wilderness of "Democratic socialism," open borders and rigged elections, and back to the promised land of common-sense policies and voter enthusiasm. But he has nothing. He is out and about promoting his $850 million Obama Presidential Center that squats menacingly on the shores of Lake Michigan on 19 acres of public parkland gifted to Obama by the City of Chicago when his former chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, was mayor. But what he's really promoting is himself. The granite-clad building's grim, brutalist design is an unwitting symbol of his benighted presidency, despoiling its beautiful surroundings and offering nothing uplifting or ennobling to the chumps who pay $30 to go inside. Dubbed "The Obamination," it's been likened to a Klingon prison, a megalith, a toilet and a trash can.

Today you will read many sympathetic media stories about B.P.J., the male athlete who challenged WV's law and lost at SCOTUS. I'm guessing none will mention that B.P.J. defeated 470+ girls 1,400+ times (including a state title) and sexually harassed our client Adaleia (pictured) in the girls' locker room. Sadly, Adaleia stopped playing the school sports she loved due to B.P.J.'s ongoing presence in girls' sports and spaces. But we'll probably be lucky if those girls get even a passing mention--let alone a front-page photo. This has been the pattern on this issue from far too many institutions of power. Boys' feelings are the focus. Girls' safety, fairness, and opportunity take a back seat. I'm so thankful today that the Supreme Court reversed that pattern, acknowledged the reality of biological sex, and remembered the girls.

Go back - in American History - and show me the period where Rich Americans really believed in Capitalism for the Working Class. Where they didn't want to leverage their money to get advantage. Where they really believed that competition - down to the individual worker level - would generate a rising tide that raised all boats ?

"That's the kind of lie you tell little children. Its also the kind of lie you can judge adults by.
Because if any grown man or woman says that and means it? They're a high-functioning Idiot."
A lot of people did "make it" by hard work and trying hard enough. But sure, a lot of scoundrels made even more money by joining a cartel, or becoming a corrupt lying politician, or opening a Learing Center.
But "work hard and studying diligently" is still a great way to succeed. (though being wise as serpents, and harmless as doves is still good advice)

Russia has borne the heavier toll, with 1.4 million troops killed or wounded since it invaded in February 2022.

idk about exact numbers, but it does seem the Ukrainian drones kill a lot on the front lines, and Russia seems to have other issues with their troops killing each other, or commanders demanding payment to not be sent to the front, and "90%" of troops dying before the even reach the front. Newer (random internet?) posts suggest the Russian military is falling apart.
Ukraine seems to be winning the drone wars, and they somehow have millions of them. Ukraine is now able to offer military advice on drone warfare.

Russians are not known for treating wounded very well and a lot of the casualties are simply cannon fodder from prisons, the non Russian hinterlands, and from rural areas where the choice is a slow death or a quick one with a bit of cash to loved ones. So if you total wounded plus dead, I can see those casualties figures--this is an actual peer to peer war, not a war against terrorists or a one off campaign by the North Vietnamese regular forces.
E.g. Iran-Iraq war toll, The war is often said to have caused half a million or more deaths. The Battle Deaths Dataset, developed by a team of political scientists, estimates fatalities at more than 600,000. The Correlates of War Project, another major scholarly dataset, estimates 500,000 Iraqi dead and 750,000 Iranian dead."

War has lasted longer now than WWI and is approaching WWII in length. We have a reasonable picture of what is going on and the Russians are doggedly using attrition to grind down the Ukrainian army just like Grant did to Lee.
The aim and a lot of the casualties are in order to take the Ukrainian held remnants of the Donbas fortified cities and that means a lot of casualties for attackers. Once those are cleared, then the terrain becomes more favorable for Russians if they want to go further than the Donbas oblast.
Even Patton, in trying to take Metz which had a ring of fortifications, got a bloody nose and had to starve out the defenders.
This is a stupid war provoked by stupid leaders and is a pointless slaughter. Same as WWI. Ukraine is not likely to get the Crimea or even Luhansk or Donbas back and Putin has went way to far to ensure hatred from the Ukrainians and a lot of Europeans. The only people benefitting from this are the Chinese long term and Putin's ass is hanging in the breeze in the East.

That was not a peer to peer war. More comparable to Vietnam except the Soviets killed a helluva lot more Afghanis than we ever did Vietnamese. 1-3 million Afghani civilians and nearly 200k mujahideen. Compare that death toll with the US occupation twice as long and we were driven out--we left voluntarily under Biden.
Not the same type of war with Ukraine and to be sure, drones have changed the face of warfare there.

We Need Proof of Life of Mitch McConnell
This isn't Russia -- we are entitled to know which of our "representatives" are living and capable of working.
But of course this nation increasingly resembles Russia. Two weeks after deliberately vague reports about McConnell being "rushed" to the hospital, it is only due to a leak of EMS radio traffic that we now find out he was discovered "unconscious" and in need of "advanced life support." So where is he now? Is he conscious? Our Soviet officials won't tell us.It has been over two weeks since Senator Mitch McConnell was hospitalized. EMS radio traffic now reveals that the 84-year-old Kentucky Republican was found "unconscious" at his Washington, D.C., home before being hospitalized on June 14. Punchbowl News reported, "Just before 9 a.m. on June 14, the dispatcher directed an ALS (Advanced Life Support) ambulance to the address of the former Senate GOP leader's home. Audio of the EMS dispatch was circulating online earlier this week and was posted by journalist Desiree Townsend." Later on the same day, McConnell spokesperson David Popp said the senator was hospitalized and "receiving excellent care." On June 22, Popp said that McConnell was "working closely with staff on Senate business and Kentucky matters as he continues his recovery." No update has been provided on whether the senator remains hospitalized. According to several GOP senators, including Senate Majority Leader John Thune, they have spoken with McConnell. Thune is "dialed in" on Senate happenings.Uh-huh. Note that this follows several prominent congressmen who were later shown to be non compos mentis or too sickly to actually attend Congress. And I don't just mean Joe Biden. Diane Feinstein was mentally incapable of doing her job for years, with her staff unconstitutionally assuming senatorial power to decide how to vote on the nation's bills. Biden's cartoonishly unhealthy Secretary of Defense just completely skipped class for months, undergoing secret hospital procedures that Racist Americans just weren't allowed to know about.
The revelation that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin had prostate cancer surgery and was later hospitalized in intensive care due to complications from that operation without President Joe Biden, Cabinet members or even his deputy knowing has put an intense spotlight on what staff knew when and why they did not inform government or military leaders or the public. Austin has since returned to work, but was hospitalized again Feb. 11 "for symptoms suggesting an emergent bladder issue." While his doctors have said his prognosis is excellent, Austin's mobility has been noticeably affected, sometimes using a cane or motorized cart to get around the Pentagon. Austin finally addressed questions surrounding his hospitalization in a press conference earlier this month where he said he never told anyone on his staff to keep his hospitalization a secret. That has left unanswered questions as to why some members of his staff chose not to inform Biden or the public about it.Department of Transportation head Pete Butigieg secretly took two months of maternity leave to bond with his adopted gaybies, instructing his staff to pretend he was in the office the whole time.
Since Buttigieg and his husband Chasten adopted newborn twins in 2021, the Democrat and his family have been repeatedly criticized and mocked by Republicans, including former Vice President Mike Pence. Most recently, Pence made what the White House described as a "homophobic joke" about Buttigieg taking parental leave. "When Pete's two children were born, he took two months' maternity leave whereupon thousands of travelers were stranded in airports, the air traffic system shut down, and airplanes nearly collided on our runways," Pence reportedly said at the annual Gridiron Dinner for journalists and politicians in Washington, D.C., on March 11. "Pete is the only person in human history to have a child and everyone else gets postpartum depression."
Federica Wilson, a Democrat DEI goofball, was absent from Congress for a month without telling anyone why. Only in May did she announce an official absence, saying she needed eye surgery. Okay -- what about the month before that? Tom Kean Jr., a Nepo baby, was absent from Congress for four months without leave. He now says he was diagnosed with depression.
During his absence from Congress, Kean missed more than 100 votes. He was seen near his House office on Tuesday and finally spoke publicly about his prolonged absence, saying that after medical testing, he was diagnosed with depression. "I did not believe this would result in a long-term stay," he said. "Depression is so much more than that. It is physical, it is emotional, and until you experience it yourself, it is difficult to fully understand it," Kean said. "I am a private person by nature. Talking about myself has never come naturally. If sharing my story encourages even one person to seek help, then this moment will have been worthwhile." Kean continued collecting his congressional salary during his absence. He was scheduled to hold a conference call with Republican officials later on Tuesday. The mystery over Kean's absence carries potential political implications, given the competitive district he represents and the Republican Party's narrow control of the House.Obviously no one wishes further ill upon the ailing -- but these are our employees. They are not allowed to skip out of work for weeks or months at a time while having their taxpayer-paid staffs lie to taxpayers about their absences.

yes, and he'll name a Democrat. There will be a lawsuit (Republicans require him to nominate someone from the same party) but he will argue that a statute cannot overrule a constitutional provision and he'll be found to be right.

I don't think it works that way. As far as I know, each of them can take as little or as much time off as they want, as long as their leadership knows what they're up to if they're needed for votes. Some of them are workaholics and would work every day if they could and some take a lot of time off during recesses. And they make a fixed amount each year, so they don't get paid OT. Each congresscritter's office sets its own PTO policies for staff.

The votes are already decided. The positions are already decided. The false dialectic of choices are already mapped out.
It's not as if he would add anything to the equation.
For example, immigration.
Here are your choices:
Unchecked immigration to cast Democrat votes
Or
Controlled immigration enough to put downward pressure on employee wages for Chamber of Commerce Republican businesses.
It would only matter if you had a particular Senator saying "these are both bad options."
Since McConnell is not of that ilk, they may as well use auto pen for his vote.

Probably, but it's not a slam dunk. The Ky constitutional provision refers to the gov filling vacancies "in all offices for the State at large." Those offices are not defined in the constitution, but sections 69 - 96 are titled "Officers for the State at Large" and there is no mention of those elected to federal offices.

At this point it literally doesn't make a difference. Even if beshear appoints a dem to the vacant seat the senate will refuse to seat him because of the state law saying that he has to appoint a republican from a list they submit to him.

Think about this -- CPS is almost definitely staffed by very woke, leftist, and probably women. They would have buried this if there was nothing more than a malicious phone call.

his mental lapses seem to indicate (?) maybe he already had a stroke or two. So if he was discovered unconscious", and it was from another stroke ... not good news, since the more time without treatment after a stroke, the worse the outcome.
But I am not a doctor, so hope Mitch can keep being a "resting in state" senator till the next election can replace him (since their Dem gov would try to install a Dem stooge).

So is that how it works now, every phone call that results in a representative of the state showing up at your door is a "swatting?"
Swatting stands for SWAT -- does a CPS investigator showing up with a clipboard and cell phone constitute a SWAT?
Or, did the phone call say they were in immediate danger and they really did use SWAT-- possible, I guess but it should would be nice if words had meaning and news reporters .. ah whatever.

The problem isn't the adults, it's the juveniles. Adults will often slither away when they see you coming. And if they do strike out, the first one is usually venom-free. That's their warning. If you continue to FO and get hit a second time, yeah, you're going to get the juice.

Yeah - given who we are talking about, if a swatting was the case, the people who did it would have been found immediately and the book would have been thrown at them.
It also would have been great publicity for a "Gay politician attacked for being gay". Would have brought out the usual suspects to pontificating and throw a rally/parade/riot, etc., complete with pre-printed signs and a nice-sized group of protestors.

This is the current process under state law (updated in 2024 via House Bill 622, which took effect and removed any appointment authority). Kentucky is one of five states (along with North Dakota, Oregon, Rhode Island, and Wisconsin) that do not allow the governor to appoint an interim senator.

But one thing I can guarantee with absolute certainty is that child protective services would never remove kids from buttegigs house without some solid concrete evidence. Even then they would hesitate because the Michigan governor is one short phone call away from mister mayor a fellow prominent democrat that would not hesitate to make that phone call.

Anyone that wants to look into Mitch McConnell's background has a pretty easy lift. Not a mystery. He doesn't come from a rich family ... one branch owned a funeral home.
He graduated Louisville Law. Not exactly the fast track to all the NorthEast Money. But then ... Mitch aligned with the MLK movement.
He became their token white boy. The political token for both parties, frankly. The cat never worked a day at anything. Ever. Pure truth.

I KNOW they would never vote for this is the reason. I am not stupid!
Their pipeline to $$$ would dry up like their dessicated corpses.
Term limits? Don't make me laugh. Actually do, because I am not in a great mood. Tomorrow I will try harder to break the spell of the last 2 months.
Thune has lied (which is not new) that he's been in contact with Mitch. Unless he's gone and touched his hand I don't think so! A phone call would reveal the vent breathing for him in his coma.
It is elder abuse for his wife to have allowed him to be carried around Congress like a big dummy. She's no better than Dr. Jill.
Surprised they have not rigged up a golden litter for rent there, which would require 4 people vs the two walking him. Then litter in waiting for the next senile elected jackass to need it.

Noted Manly Men Will Wheaton and George Takei Attack Dwayne Johnson As a "Coward" For Not Endorsing Their Far-Left Imbecilic Identity Politics
Variety
@Variety Dwayne Johnson Slammed as a 'Coward' for Staying Quiet on Politics; 'Star Trek' Icon George Takei Fires Back: 'Silence Is Complicity'
Variety
@Variety Dwayne Johnson is facing backlash for staying quiet on politics, with "Star Trek" icon George Takei telling him that "silence is complicity" and "Stand By Me" actor Wil Wheaton adding: "So disappointing to find out he is such a coward." Johnson told Fox News in 2024 that he regretted endorsing Joe Biden for president in 2020 because it caused division amongst his fans, adding at the time: "My goal is to bring this country together. I believe in that. There will be no endorsement. At this level of influence, I will keep my politics to myself. It is between me and the ballot box." The blockbuster actor expanded on his newfound aversion to political talk by telling Esquire this month: "What I have learned through experience is that I need to keep -- need, not want -- the main thing. And the main thing for me, the thing that in the morning I swing my legs out of bed and I run towards, is creating. It's art. It's storytelling. I've learned I'm going to keep my politics to myself. There are moments when, hey, there's nothing we can't talk about. If I'm wrong, I'll tell you I'm wrong. Or if I feel like I got a leg up and this is the right way to go, I'll share it with you. Politics is omnipresent and it's forever. I don't like it. I hate it at times. I hate the slinging. I hate all the bullshit that comes with it."
The NY Post with more:
Wil Wheaton has blasted Dwayne Johnson over the actor's decision to stay out of politics. The "Stand By Me" star and President Trump critic branded Johnson a "coward" after the wrestler-turned-actor said he plans to keep his political views private. "So disappointing to find out he is such a coward," Wheaton wrote Monday on Threads, in response to a post from George Takei highlighting Johnson's recent comments to Esquire. Johnson, 53, explained in the interview that he no longer wants to publicly weigh in on politics because he doesn't want it to overshadow his work. "What I have learned through experience is that I need to keep -- need, not want -- the main thing the main thing," Johnson said. "The main thing for me, the thing that in the morning I swing my legs out of bed and I run towards, is creating. It's art. It's storytelling." "I've learned I'm going to keep my politics to myself," he continued. "There are moments when, hey, there's nothing we can't talk about. "If I'm wrong, I'll tell you I'm wrong. Or if I feel like I got a leg up and this is the right way to go, I'll share it with you." Johnson, who identifies as an Independent, also said he believes people with opposing political views should talk to one another instead of publicly attacking each other, adding, "I hate the slinging. I hate all the bulls-- that comes with it." Wheaton has long been outspoken about his political views and campaigned for Kamala Harris during the 2024 presidential election. ... Johnson condemned the July 2024 assassination attempt on Trump in Pennsylvania, saying political violence has "no room" in America. "Whether you love Donald, don't love Donald, it doesn't matter. They tried to assassinate him. There's no room for that," Johnson said at The Value Conference in September 2024. "Despite it being who we were in that moment, I still believe in my core that is not who we are as a country. "So him standing up at that moment, we wanted to see that."That's considered an aggressive "right wing political" take by the pro-murder left.
Wil has nothing to lose. He does signings at Comic Conventions. Dwayne, one of the biggest box office draws of our time, has much, much, much more to lose by alienating half the country either way he leans. https://t.co/tOJ3ceki71

If this trend continues - 2026 will not be a good midterm for the left, and with their government funneled money drying up, 2028 looks like a massive problem. Especially since all the energy means more democrats will lose to their DSA opponents, making whatever swing districts remain more red.

Takei insisted on Sulu piloting his own ship in ST6. Which the scriptwriters worked around. The movie overall ended up good, so, hooray for that I guess.
Problem: Takei's delivery was wooden as ever, and it seemed obvious that the reason he got his ship was less because of ego (which he has) and more because he despised most of his fellow actors on the show especially Shatner. He simply didn't want to be in many scenes on the Enterprise.

The thing is, they - the featured players - did have careers after the show ended. They just weren't major stars. Heck, even Shatner and Nimoy had a downturn and were stuck doing guest star roles for a while. Why they would expect to be megastars? I think they got ego inflation when the conventions started. Thinking they were the stars instead of Shatner, Nimoy, and Kelly. Felt they were more important and the heart of Star Trek, even though it was definitely the Kirk, Spock, McCoy triad.

New York: it's hot out there, and the power grid is working overtime to keep us cool.
Set your AC to 78 degrees, turn off lights/electronics you're not using, and unplug what you can.
Our City is doing its part too: maintaining the 78 degrees rule in our buildings, dimming/turning off our lights during peak electricity demand, asking private partners to do the same, and powering down non-essential equipment.
A stable grid means the AC stays on, and lives are saved. Let's ease demand — and get through the heat — together.

It also stars Christopher Walken as the big bad and Seann William Scott as the kid he has to "run down". Also Rosario Dawson as the love interest.

He does, but his mom is Samoan, so maybe that is what's up with the flowery thang.
"His mother is the adopted daughter of Peter Maivia, who was also a professional wrestler. Johnson's maternal grandmother Lia was one of the first female pro wrestling promoters, taking over Polynesian Pacific Pro Wrestling after her husband's death in 1982 and managing it until 1988. Through his maternal grandfather Maivia, Johnson is a non-blood relative of the Anoaʻi wrestling family. In 2008, he inducted his father and grandfather into the WWE Hall of Fame."

Another interesting thing is that those birthright kids, if male, are required to register for the draft by the time they're 25. Failure is a federal felony.

Shatner was surprisingly thoughtful and self-deprecating. Takei, on the other hand, was a petulant, spiteful twerp, whose every anecdote reminded the audience of what a trend-setter and hero of gays in Hollywood he had been. Had little digs at Shatner sprinkled throughout. (When asked about his spat with Takei, Shatner was gracious and avoided being baited into saying anything negative.)

Probably, but it's not a slam dunk. The Ky constitutional provision refers to the gov filling vacancies "in all offices for the State at large."

People Are Starting to Notice That the Alleged "Working Class Populist Socialist" Uprising on the Left Is Made Up Exclusively of College-Educted Rich Leisure-Class Nepo Babies and NGO Sucklers
The Claim: Democrats are electing "working class populists" who just happen to be socialists
The Reality: Democrats are electing rich-bitch children of privilege who are socialists because they've never done a day of work in their lives. Batya Sargon-Unger:Progressives want you to believe socialism is on the march because working-class people have had enough. They want you to believe they are "fighting the oligarchy!" and they are taking on the billionaires and the "Epstein class" and bringing back an agenda focused on labor. But it's all nonsense. You know how I know? Because it's rich people who vote for them, and working people voting for their opponents. This was wildly apparent in the New York elections last week, in which rich, over-credentialed gentrifiers voted out candidates preferred by working-class New Yorkers, as I explained in a piece called "Stop Calling Them 'Socialists.' They're Over-Credentialed White Gentrifiers Driven by Resentment Ousting Working-Class Candidates." But the latest evidence of progressives and socialists pretending to fight for the little guy while actually winning with the credentialed caste at the expense of the desires of working-class voters comes out of Maine. Platner is polling ahead of Republican incumber Susan Collins by two points. But he has absolutely cratered with working-class voters. Susan Collins has a 21 point lead against Platner with working-class voters.Even old lefty Thomas Edsall at the communist New York Times notices that the new "Workers Party" of the left contains almost no actual workers, writes John Sexton.
Shane Goldmacher
@ShaneGoldmacher Graham Platner is ahead of Collins by 2 points in new NYT poll. One of the most intriguing details: She has a 21-point lead among non-college voters as Platner has made centering the working class the center of his campaign.
So how is Platner winning? With college educated voters! Platner is demolishing Collins with college-educated voters--by 34 points. 51% of working-class white voters say that Platner is "too far to the Left"--while 61% of working-class white voters say that Collins is "not too fair either way." Platner is also cleaning Collins' clock with women, leading her by eight points. So much for solidarity! College-educated women, those very HR ladies the pundits were delighted had been vanquished, looked at Graham Platner, who shoved and manhandled his ex girlfriend and locked her in a room, according to the New York Times, and thought, "Me, too." Platner's handlers and supporters sold him as a working-class hero, an "oysterman" and veteran with rough edges who has tattoos and wasn't developed "in a vat." This, like all their socialist frippery, turned out to be cosplay: The oyster farm is fake, a vanity hobby that makes no money apart from $6,000 Platner's mom gives him to sell the oysters at her restaurant. His VA loan turned out to be fake; his dad bought him his house for $200,000. He went to a fancy prep school. His farm is on a private island owned by a friend. This working-class cosplay was just enough to convince college-educated women that he was a real man--though not, it seems, good enough to convince working-class men, who can smell a faker a mile away. As my friend Ryan Girdursky aptly put it, "Graham is what a college educated person thinks a working-class person is supposed to act like and working-class people can see he's a fraud."
Thomas Edsall takes a break today from attacking President Trump and instead turns his attention to the extreme left-wing of his own party. Like all good Marxists, the Democratic Socialists of America present themselves as a party for the working class. But it turns out there are almost no working class people in the party.See the link for that. The left is trying to claim that the Democrat Socialists are sick of woke politics, too, that's why they focus laser-like on breadbasket issues like health care and rent. But that's all bullshit-- what they focus on is open borders and transing children. Just like all other lefties, only more dogmatic and authoritarian about it. People are sick of Leisure Class Leftists telling the rest of us that we have to waste our money on their sick priorities:Candidates aligned with the Democratic Socialists of America are surging to victory on the claim that they are proponents of "a government by, for and of the working class" that will wrest power from both "far-right Republicans and corporate Democrats." Here's the problem. Most of the leadership of the D.S.A. and a majority of voters who back its candidates are in no way working class. Instead, an elite made up of well-educated professionals dominates this insurgency... In 2021 the D.S.A. surveyed its members and found that 85 percent were non-Hispanic white (far more than the national population, which was 57.8 percent white in 2020, according to the census)... Four percent of the members held blue-collar jobs, according to the survey, the most recent publicly available... More than 80 percent of members who were 25 years old or older had college degrees (just more than double the percentage for the United States as a whole), and 35 percent had a master's degree, a doctorate or a professional degree (again, more than double the American average). Sixty percent identified as agnostic or atheist (with the American average, taken at its most generous, at less than half that).
The DSA isn't the party of the people, it's the party of the white, atheist college grads almost none of whom hold blue collar jobs. When asked about this, the DSA communications person said the group's policies were working class even if their members aren't. But that's not true either. For instance, the DSA is hard left on trans rights while America in general and working class people in particular are not.The same is true of the DSA's stand on immigration. It's not the position held by actual working class people.
...the D.S.A.'s March 31 declaration, "We Will Not Be Erased," would be met with some skepticism if not hostility by working-class voters disdainful of the D.S.A.'s commitment of support for "bodily autonomy, for moving past arbitrary restrictions and conservative norms around gender and family and for the right of all to obtain medical care."
Nicholas KristofWe have to fucking fuel up the ambulances in Liberia?!
@NickKristof .@elonmusk says that no one can name a person who died from his aid cuts. In fact, I've met the kids who are dying, and I've talked to the families who lost children. In my columns, I've cited many, many names of people who have died because of Musk's aid cuts. A few examples: *Yamah Freeman was a 23-year-old woman who died in childbirth because Musk cut funding for the diesel for ambulances in her part of Liberia. She couldn't get to a hospital and died as people were carrying her there. I talked to her parents and sister in their village.
Coddled Affluent ProfessionalUpdate: Ro Khanna, the guy who got rich by knocking up an heiress, wants to end capitalism all of a sudden.
@feelsdesperate I'm supportive of international public health aid when it comes to cheap interventions like dispensing HIV and TB and malaria meds. (I am a lib 🤷♂️ .) However, Kristof is just making everything worse. First, you can't hysterically crybully Americans into supporting these programs and trying to do so instead of making a calm, measured case just makes people reactive and oppositional because it's so obviously a cynical, manipulative tactic. Second, it's not our responsibility to fill up anyone's gas tank. All of these initiatives have to be completely reconsidered and our obligations need to be clearly defined. That Kristof can't intuit that Americans would oppose filling foreign gas tanks demonstrates just how out of touch he is and that he's bound to do more harm than good in attempting to propagandize on behalf of international public health. Third, none of these vignettes meet even the most basic evidentiary standards to support his assertions. Furthermore, this isn't how it's done - big programs need to be supported by population level data and Kristof is obviously trying to be emotionally manipulative with anecdotes rather than addressing the policy questions in the right way with the right type of data. Fourth, it's lazy and cynical to try to lay this all on Musk. Maybe you shouldn't have billion dollar 'managed democracy' and leftist NGO dark money sinkholes wearing the skin suit of true humanitarian programs. Maybe the people who designed these programs as such deserve a little more (or a lot more) of the blame for intentionally putting them in proximity to legitimate political targets. Every time I read a half-informed journo trying to do advocacy for foreign health aid I cringe because it's clear they don't know what they're talking about and are making lazy, motivated assertions that are bound to backfire and make things worse. If journos really cared about these issues and weren't just scrounging for cheap partisan artillery they'd be a lot more carful, thoughtful, and reserved in what they're arguing.

Karl Marx had several jobs, primarily as a journalist, editor, and political writer. While he never held a traditional waged corporate job or an academic professorship, his professional life involved continuous, albeit often unstable, employment in the publishing and media industry
So they're just emulating their Founding Father.

If they ever get power, maybe they will not be devoured by the crocodile, they will become the crocodile. Of course they will have to team up with the Muslims and other gangsters, and get them to do the heavy lifting (of killing the normies).
But more likely, the Muzzies and gangs will kill them, in the end. Or maybe it would be like Mexico and South America, where a Castro like president manages to keep all the gangsters at bay, by giving them control of sex and drug trades?

From the December 1972 article about that whole process in Commentary, “The New Politics & the Democrats” by Penn Kemble and Josh Muravchik.
"The fact is, however, that the purpose of the McGovern quotas was not to make the convention more representative of the Democratic electorate as a whole, but to favor the affluent liberals within the party and to diminish the influence of its lower-middle and working-class constituents.
Those who take up the vocation of politics, as Max Weber insisted, first must have an extraordinary amount of free time. Such time is readily available to the suburban housewives and the subsidized students who have provided so many second-level leaders and foot soldiers to the New-Politics movement—and who, in practice, are the “women” and the “young” singled out by the McGovern quotas."

And if no other country steps up to fill the gap, then why was it on you, anyway?
If USAID was able to prove the people saved by "International Development", they would--or maybe should--have provided documentation to DOGE.

Another fun fact, if smelly. Marx had a notoriously casual attitude toward personal hygiene. That's a fancy way of saying that he almost never washed or bathed. Che Guevara had the same reputation, as it happens.
Anyway, Marx also had horrible skin rashes that kept him in misery, and likely was a factor in making him such a resentful asshole. Totally unrelated to his bathing habits. Totally.

Marx was -- fittingly -- a classic parasite who refused to work for wages and relied heavily on financial support from his friend Engels, whose income was derived from the textile industry and factory profits.
He also mooched off his parents until they cut him off, lived in poverty despite being educated and capable of work, and neglected his family, leading to the premature deaths of four of his children and financial destitution for his wife.
Marxism writ large, Q.E.D.

No one expects blacks to go 50/50, but black turnout will probably be down in 2026 (Crockett losing in the TX primary and the fact that these NY Dem upstarts got minimal black support indicate that).
A large bloc of Hispanics consider themselves white, and there's no indication beyond very suspect polling data (which has not manifested in any election over the last couple of years) that the Hispanic vote, which has been trending Republican for the last few cycles, is going to reverse.

The party that wins the working class, wins elections.
Democrats didn't dominate American politics for over 100 years because they people were really motivated to "end racism."
From FDR to Trump, their dominance has been built on a large, working class base.
Why do the Democrats still think they are the party of the working class?
Because the rich, nepo-babies that are running for office pretend they are working class.

Other than Trump, no one has done more to help the Republican Party grow.
His "Emerging Democrat Majority" convinced Obama et al. that they no longer needed the working class to win elections.
Of course, the premise of his book was KEEP the working class and grow the college-educated, minorities and LGBQT+.
But all they heard was "more people like us and we win forever and ever!!!"
Dems: We don't need the working class.

It was the Kennedy's who foresaw the future of the Democratic Party as reversing the racism they had long practiced.
I think part of it was he wanted to steal a Republican issue away from them.
The Heritage Foundation (partial spit) has a number of letters from Prominent people in Congress and elsewhere that show that the Democrats were about championing the White Working Class. That unions and the minimum wage was all about price controls suppressing black labor.
What "switched" in the 60s was when the Democrats felt they couldn't get by on just White Supremacy, they adopted a pandering stance that "Did more than the Republicans"

To be fair, black Democrats don't do that.
They make it very clear that Hispanics are not nearly as oppressed as Blacks in America and that Hispanics need to cede all political authority and power to Blacks to fix the lack of political power that Blacks have because of racism and slavery, which was caused by everyone who's not black.

You can breakdown why a group votes a certain way by various factors, like age, income, education, etc.
Otherwise identical evangelicals and Catholics vote the same. At larger scales protestants and Catholics of similar cultures(such as Austria and Germany) are nigh identical across a variety of metrics.
Frankly most people don't know or think about the finer theological distinctions, so it doesn't generally impact how they vote. Church attendance is by comparison a very strong predictor.

The last time Cooper won statewide was 6 years ago. There were 400,000 more Democrats registered than Republicans, and he won by 250,000. That was also for a governorship where partisanship is often less of an overriding issue (think Hogan being a popular governor of MD and then losing by double digits in the Senate election).
Since, Democrats have completely (completely) lost the registration advantage. There are now 10,000 more active Republicans than Democrats.
And Cooper is of the wrong party...could be a Hogan.
Still, midterm turnout differential should prefer Democrats over Republicans, but that math doesn't quite math for him. We'll see, but there's no way he wins by more the 2-3.

Catholics have a larger and deeper 'command structure' then most other divisions and thus are more prone to issues with out of touch insiders. Jesuit types are often shipped off for missionary work where they don't bother the staff.
But the issues aren't unique to Catholics - the Anglicans in England are virtually extinct aside from imports from abroad due to the same infiltration of leftist values that the administration did not reject.

This is kind of meta and geeky but... there's a reason some topics should be avoided in comic book stuff. You do not ask some questions or deal with some ideas because they ruin the genre. Its an essentially silly and childish genre, which is perfectly fine, so is football.
Its okay to have a story about how there's a black wonder-country that does everything right, you use it for the superhero's origin. But when you take that story to the real world and say black people are mistreated everywhere and its wrong to have any African artifacts and Wakanda will now start to fix everything, you RUIN IT because now it brings up questions exactly like the above.
Wakanda let Arabs and black tribes enslave black people for 1000 years and did nothing? They sat back and ignored all the horrific wars and massacres? They let everyone live in dirt huts and die from diseases they could have prevented? They left the rest of Africa to be a crap hole? They did nothing to stop the cruel mistreatment of their people by colonists?
This ruins the immersion and heroic genre.

My nephew used to go to Africa every year (usually with wife and kids), as a doctor and a Christian. Last I saw him he said their "Christians" would go to witch doctors when the American doctors are not available. And with the Muslims invading, I'm not sure how safe they are. I guess those types do some good, along with those building wells (and teaching the Africans not to pollute their own water supply) ...

One of the hallmarks of good worldbuilding is instilling the "willing suspension of disbelief" in your audience.
Wakanda fails in that regard because even a casual inquiry into that nation shows it doesn't hold up under scrutiny.
Asgard--also in the MCU and based on Nordic folklore--fails for similar reasons. Why didn't the Asgardians help Europe during the Dark Ages? The Scandinavians had encounters with them in their history.

The core tenet of Leninism is:
Marxism presumes that :"the working class" will rise up to overthrow the capitalist system. But the problem is: They don't. The working class (a.k.a. "the proletariat) is too stupid, lazy and complacent to do it on their own.
So what we need ,to get this revolution jump-started, is an elite cadre of super-smart activists to lead the charge - -and only then will the working class wake up and follow the banner.
We call this elite squad, "The Vanguard of the Proletariat."
An that's exactly what happened in Russia in 1917, Cuba 1959, etc. etc. -- it really was a small group of extremists who kicked things off, and then the masses jumped on board.
So, fast forward to 2026: The Democratic Socialist of American consider themselves "The Vanguard of the Proletariat." But there's an even bigger problem now: Every single young left-winger is part of the "Vanguard." There is no "working class" behind them. Theri entire movement is nothing but the elite squad at the front.

Well Asgard in Norse was the abode of Gods, and humans were only of interest for creating foot soldiers for fighting the 'end of the world' battle against monsters and such. Charity on earth was not a selling point.

>>Musk cut funding for the diesel for ambulances in her part of Liberia.
================
Did he cut off the supplies? Did he confiscate the ambulances? Did he bomb the fueling stations? No? So everything was there except the free money, which somehow couldn't be found anywhere in the entire Liberian national budget or GDP. Great country, Liberians. Maybe you need to do better. Dead young mother should be a wakeup call to work harder, not beg harder.

=====================
Liberia has diesel fuel. Why did they not make certain ambulances had some of that fuel?
In other words, neither America or Doge, and certainly not Musk, had anything to do with Liberian decisions on fuel use. To even imply America should decide fuel use in Liberia is racist and colonialist, because it is based on an inference Liberians can't decide simple fuel allocation for themselves, and instead need their traditional American masters to do it for them.
Kristoff is a racist, a colonialist, and he should be drummed out of Herald Square for his crimes.

So, fast forward to 2026: The Democratic Socialist of American consider themselves "The Vanguard of the Proletariat." But there's an even bigger problem now: Every single young left-winger is part of the "Vanguard." There is no "working class" behind them. Theri entire movement is nothing but the elite squad at the front.

One of Lenin's key insights in his successful takeover is that the masses can be bribed. And bribing the solders is also really important.
He printed lots of money and created massive inflation to do this, but it did allow him to take power.
In some sense the Democrats offering to hand out money to everyone are pursuing a more effective political strategy.

In The Principles of Communism, they (Marx and Engles) describe democratic socialists as either "proletarians who are not yet sufficiently clear about the conditions of the liberation of their class" or "representatives of the petty bourgeoisie.

MSNOW Cancels Weekend Live Programming; Will Run Cheap Leftwing Podcasts From Earlier In the Week Instead
Canceling 2/7ths of the weekly original programming is always a sign of strength and profitability.
MS NOW is canceling the evening news program The Weekend: Primetime, as it focuses on re-airing its video podcasts as well as its Crooked on MS NOW offerings. Beginning Sunday, June 28, at 6 p.m. ET, MS NOW's weekend-night offerings will be a taped affair as it will air episodes from Crooked Media's video podcasts, including Pod Save America, Pod Save the World, Strict Scrutiny, Lovett or Leave It, Runaway Country with Alex Wagner, Hysteria, Assembly Required with Stacey Abrams, Offline with Jon Favreau, and What A Day. It will also air episodes from its own video podcasting unit, including The Best People with Nicolle Wallace and Why Is This Happening with Chris Hayes. In a memo to employees obtained by TVNewser, MS NOW president Rebecca Kutler said the network's Crooked on MS NOW block has brought new viewers. Kutler added that there will be jobs impacted by this transition, but the network will continue to be staffed during those hours and overnight in the event of breaking news, and has nearly 40 open roles across the network. ... Meanwhile, the network announced that Alex Witt will be departing sometime in the summer. Witt has been with MS NOW (formerly MSNBC) since 1999 and has anchored more hours than any other anchor at the network.Firing the network's longest-serving anchor is likewise a show of corporate strength.
The move to just airing old podcasts also shows that people, including retards on the far left, just don't care for the overproduced, underconsidered Corporate Fake News Product any longer. Via WDW_Pro. Bonus: Yesterday I linked a NY Post story about Jill Biden's books being bought up by Biden-affiliated PACs to contrive a spot on the NYT bestseller list (which is hardly necessary, as they just make up whatever results they like). I missed this: Gavin Newsom used his PAC's money to buy up $1.5 million of copies of "his" "book," which he gave to donors as a thank you. (Gee whiz Gavin, this will take a place of honor in my garbage can.) That $1.5 million in copies, bought by Newsom himself, made up 2/3rds of all "sales" of "his" "book."
MS NOW is overhauling its weekend lineup by leaning harder into podcasts, taped programming and outside partnerships -- a shakeup that will also mark the end of longtime anchor Alex Witt's nearly three-decade run at the network. .. Among the biggest moves is the departure of Witt, one of the network's longest-serving anchors, who plans to leave later this year after nearly three decades with the company. News of Witt's departure was reported by Variety. ... "After nearly three decades, Alex Witt has shared with us her plans to conclude her tenure with the company later this year, following an extraordinary career," Kutler wrote in a memo to staff. Kutler praised Witt as "a beloved longtime member of our MS NOW family" who "anchored more hours on MS NOW than any other anchor in our network's history." ... Kutler also said the network plans to announce additional outside content partnerships in the coming weeks and months, building on its existing relationship with Crooked Media.
Gavin Newsom just used his own PAC to buy $1.5 million worth of his own book. Even more comically, that accounts for 2/3 of the entire print sales. pic.twitter.com/ZvHJqScCB4

He stated that California's economy has grown at 40%, blowing by every other state. "We have no peers," he said.
The problem, though, is that statement is only true under one very twisted condition:
Score California's economy on Nominal Dollars.
Score literally everyone else's on Real Dollars.
Using Real Dollars for California's economy gives them 17% growth.
When you use the Nominal Dollars to measure Texas, they come in at 52% growth. Florida comes in at 66%.

The borough of the town has flags up on every light pole...local high school and organizations are having a parade which ends at the local park (which will have music, stands, roving performers et al.). Then, fireworks in the evening on the 4th (which they never do, because the founding day for the town takes place in August, and they have fireworks then).
Oh, and cars and trucks around here have been driving around with American Flags affixed for the last few weeks. So, I think rural America is kind of into it...Can't speak for the blue cesspools of the urban neighborhoods.

Doing so enables these residents to get new identification documents faster than before at a time when the Trump administration is trying to block trans people from getting passports that match their gender identity. Starting July 1, third parties can no longer file objections to adults’ petitions to change their names due to gender identity. In addition, adults, as well as minors whose parents have signed on, must have their name-change petition order issued within six weeks.

It only requires:
1) an internal combustion engine more efficient and powerful than anything anyone has now
2) tires that are longer-lasting and superior to anything F1 or NASCAR has
3) dedicated highway lanes the entire route.
4) fare payers that will ride these busses
Other than that, this concept is just a few hundred billion away from reality.
BTW, did you know there is a physical speed limit for large ships?
At about 50 mph, the speed causes the prop to create cavitation and can't generate any further thrust.

"That is why I also propose that two nightclubs be opened next door to the mosque, thereby promoting tolerance from within the mosque. We could call one of the clubs, which would be gay, "The Turban Cowboy," and the other, a topless bar, would be called "You Mecca Me Hot."
Next door should be a butcher shop that specializes in pork, and adjacent to that an open-pit barbecue pork restaurant, called "Iraq of Ribs." Across the street there could be a lingerie store called "Victoria Keeps Nothing Secret" with sexy mannequins in the window modeling the goods, and on the other side a liquor store called "Morehammered."
"All of this would encourage Muslims to demonstrate the tolerance they demand of us."

Back to the topic tho, this seems extra funny because right now some of those podcasts (Pod Save America, Strict Scrutiny) are NOT on t.v. at all. It looks like they're being dredged from the internet as one of the few properties MSNOW can possibly stick in a time slot.
More fun, some of those podcasts (the Pod Save ones for sure) restrict premium content -- aka cheap talk that you would expect from any podcaster -- to "Members Only." You can't view unless you pay to subscribe. I think it eventually becomes available to all, but I wonder what the contracts will do to Members Only and the money it brings those clowns.

Democrats are doing all they can to tamp down the Spirit of 76.
My city has decided to do the Independence Day fireworks show on Friday so that city employees can have the day off on Saturday. Last year, they did the fireworks on the 5th, a Saturday, instead of the 4th so that city employees could have the day off. It makes absolute no sense except that it shows that the government is "of the government employees, for the government employees", we are just their serfs.

Jordan wore #9 during his gold medal runs at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics and the 1992 Barcelona Olympics (the "Dream Team").
His older brother, Larry, wore #45 in high school. Michael originally chose #23 because it is approximately half of 45. When playing for Team USA, he could not wear #23 or #45 due to international rules limiting numbers to 4–15. He derived #9 by adding the digits of his brother's number: 4 + 5 = 9.

I find most the new media as ignorant and malicious posers that are uninterested in anything but the latest talking points. This is whether they are 'conservative' or the mainstream media.
It is reality tv for political nerds and you can find better information routinely on blogs, X, or even dead tree print media.

I’ve read a few bios of TR. Very interesting guy but I’m not so sure he was good for the country in the long run… one of the original “progressives” (different meaning then but nevertheless not on the right track)… on top of which the name Roosevelt associated with TR helped FDR’s young political career immeasurably. Doubt he woulda been president if TR never existed. And FDR legacy mostly negative IMHO. TR legacy a mixed bag

Gang of Foreign Invaders Randomly Beat a 17-Year-Old French Boy to Death, Videotape It to Share Their Tribal Murder-Coup Online
Everyone's so surprised this keeps happening. We're all like, "no way."
Of course. They were told to say that by France's own globalist "Nudge Unit."
Louis Murder: Hundreds Rally in Narbonne After Brutal Murder of 17-Year-Old Boy
The fatal beating of a French teenager, filmed and shared online by the alleged attackers, has renewed concern over immigrant youth violence. Around 1,000 people marched through the southern French city of Narbonne on Sunday, June 28th, following the death of 17-year-old Louis, who was lynched by a gang of youths. The march, organised under the slogan 'Justice for All,' was promoted on social media by several identitarian groups. Louis's family declined to take part, saying they wished to avoid any political exploitation of their son's death.
So she's not as chill about it as the Nudge Unit, French Branch would like her to be. The five "youths," unidentified except by first name, went straight to the old well and claimed they planned this ambush murder because of Muh Fake Racism.
The demonstration reflects growing public concern over youth violence in France. Louis was attacked ten days ago after allegedly being lured to a construction site in Narbonne by a group of boys--aged between 16 and 19--he knew through child welfare services. He was discovered unconscious the following day by a worker and died in hospital four days later. In an emotional interview, his mother called for those responsible to be tried as adults, saying she hoped her son's death would be "the last."
The wolf pack had stalked its prey several times before finally bringing him down -- and authorities did nothing about the violent wolves.
During questioning, some of the suspects claimed the assault was motivated by revenge for alleged incidents dating back several years, including accusations of bullying by Louis, and violence suffered by the sister of one of the suspects. These claims remain unsubstantiated.
Authorities have also confirmed that Louis had previously reported being assaulted on two separate occasions in the weeks before his death. While many social media users have linked the rise in violence to the growing number of migrants in France, prosecutors have stated that there is no evidence the killing was racially motivated.Sure. But my noticing it is racially motivated, I'm pretty certain.
The family is also calling for a march for the murdered boy -- and justice for the invaders.
The family of Louis, the 17-year-old boy beaten to death at a construction site in Narbonne, France, have spoken publicly about the impact of the attack, with his aunt describing the footage of the incident as "unspeakable." ... Marteau described the video as extremely distressing and said the family struggled to understand the level of violence shown in the footage. She added that those responsible appeared to show no remorse during the assault. "They are laughing, they beat him, they leave him no way out," she said, describing the footage as showing the attack being recorded alongside "snickering and selfies." Louis' mother told Le Journal du Dimanche "This is not the time for mourning; it is the time for war," demanding that the accused be tried as adults. She said France's juvenile justice laws needed to be revised, and recalled that she had repeatedly warned social services that her son was in danger.
They held a march on the 28th and are holding another one Sunday, July 5th. This murder came a month before an 11-year-old girl was raped and murdered by a known sex criminal whom the police repeatedly failed to open an investigation into the killer, even after he was accused by the mother of a 10-year-old girl of repeatedly raping her. He had also been accused of raping a 17-year-old girl, but police dropped that investigation too after the girl said she had "consented" to sex with the man.
Thousands of mourners have turned out for a silent march for a 11-year-old schoolgirl whose murder prompted widespread outrage when it emerged police had failed to question the suspected killer about previous child sexual abuse allegations. The parents of the girl, who has been named only as Lyhanna, led the cortege on Sunday in the south-western village of Fleurance behind a banner reading "Never again". Most of those who marched, including children, wore white shirts or T-shirts, many bearing a smiling portrait of the young victim. Grief has been mixed with profound shock and anger. The killing has sparked a heated national debate over the delays and failings of France's justice system after it emerged that the man being held in connection with Lyhanna's disappearance and murder had been on the police's radar since 2017. The French president, Emmanuel Macron, acknowledged there had been an "unacceptable" failure in the legal system. ... Lyhanna was last spotted getting into a grey car, identified as belonging to Jérôme Barella, a father of two and school cleaner, in Fleurance in the Gers département on 29 May. Her body was found seven days later in a disused grain silo 15km from where she went missing. Barella has denied killing her, telling police he had dropped her off at the local swimming pool.French President Macron has refused to utter the name of Louis, but he is gallavanting around to praise the abolition of the death penalty -- even as many call for its return. Leftwing French paper LeMonde:
After his arrest, it was discovered that, last August, the mother of a 10-year-old girl had gone to the police to allege that he had raped her daughter on several occasions. The preliminary investigation, containing interviews with the victim, psychological and medical reports confirming the child had injuries consistent with sexual abuse, and details of previous accusations against Barella, was sent by police in nearby Toulouse to the prosecutor's office at Auch in January with an instruction to question him. However, the prosecutor's office reportedly failed to open the file for several weeks, then took a further six weeks to assign officers to the case. Barella had still not been contacted or summoned for questioning in the three months before Lyhanna was abducted and killed. Other allegations have also emerged. In December 2017, a mother reported that her 17-year-old daughter had been in a relationship with Barella, but the case was dropped in 2018 after the girl said she had consented. In 2021, the suspect was fired from a cleaning job at another school for alleged inappropriate behaviour with a female student online. It is not know if this was reported to police at the time. In January 2022, he was accused of raping a seven-year-old child at his home in south-western France. The case was transferred to the local prosecutor but dismissed in 2024 owing to lack of evidence. The public prosecutor in the Gers town of Auch, Clémence Meyer, said inquiries, both medical and psychological, had not allowed police to verify the allegation.
Emmanuel Macron at the 9th World Congress Against the Death Penalty in Paris, June 30, 2026. Forced to watch the French presidential campaign unfold without him, President Emmanuel Macron does not intend to disappear from the national conversation. On Tuesday, June 30, he attended the 9th World Congress Against the Death Penalty, held in Paris, to warn against calls to restore capital punishment, 45 years after its abolition. "Even in this old country that is France, nothing is ever guaranteed, and these struggles must always be fought again," Macron warned, keeping his aviator glasses on in the dimly lit Studio 104 at the Maison de la Radio. "The battle for abolition (...) is decidedly contemporary, because today, in our societies, this debate is resurfacing," he declared before a cosmopolitan audience. The murders of Lyhanna, age 11, who was raped then killed in the Gers, and of Louis, a 17-year-old beaten to death in Narbonne, have in recent days reignited arguments in favor of the death penalty on social media and certain television panels. CNews, Europe 1 and Le Journal du dimanche, all owned by the billionaire Vincent Bolloré, even published a survey on the topic.

There are two (2) ways you can get somebody else to do something, or not do something. You can try to persuade them. If that doesn’t work, you have to force them. That’s it.
As a practical matter, it certainly appears that the mighty propaganda organs of yore - newspapers, magazines, network television - are walking sucking chest wounds. They no longer have a monopoly on approved narratives. They no longer enjoy hardly any respect or credibility.
So it should be no surprise the usual suspects eye the Internet and “social media” with a jaundiced eye. The reporters, the news outlets, are now largely the people, albeit unpaid.
Notice they do not like this arrangement. At one extreme, sounding like the old Soviet Union, UK subjects are being arrested for merely reporting the news, essentially.

Almost none of my arguments to atheists EVER assume there is a God.
That doesn't mean they know how to play Jenga with civilization, though. But they keep trying, because "it's all simple".
Atheism is all about kicking the can down the road. Eventually we'll discover what makes a safe, coherent society. Eventually we'll find out how life rose from non-life--and that's not a "extraordinary claim" despite the solid history of the biological principle that only life is, when observed, the source of life.
Again, I'm not saying "Therefore, God" I'm saying that this is where they play the game that YOU have to provide "extraordinary evidence" that non-life COULD NOT produce life, because evidence of life.

Pedophilia is the end game of all queer theory. They've taken biological sex away via transcultism as a taboo or guardrail on sexual activity and that's a pretty fundamental one. Age is their brass ring, their final frontier, the last boundary for them to destroy. It's why they've been pushing so hard to expose children at younger and younger ages to depictions of sexual activity between minors.

Their names are "Jordan S., Lucas P., Mathias T., Isaac P., and Kilian T." Those don't sound like migrant names.

Maybe those are fake names. The authorities lie about everything else, so why not that? The behaviors described are all typical of immigrant invaders.

We at least have the case, empirically that "a lie" is not always detrimental, if the goal is survival.
But although atheists partly believe that all Man's advances come from survival and that in a sense, surviving and propagating is all we are doing here--in the most materialist of senses.
They, too, feel the emptiness of "mere survival". Because "mere survival" is not "landing on Mars" it's not "exploring the universe". Survival compels none of that yearning.
It also doesn't compel changing a social order that has been fit for a good number of people of their kind to survive.
I think it is the emotional rejection of Darwinism and the intellectual need for Darwinism that creates the mental deficiency common with atheism.
But people like Sam Harris will, in an instant, produce the whole cloth bromide that "Truth is always better than a lie".
However, he should have that out with Daniel Dennett. (cont)

The post Verdun was no better - they spent a year or more attacking near the area and fabricating advances with severe losses. A major offensive was started after the new commander promised to cancel followup attacks if the first ones failed and then did the opposite. A mutiny on the front put Petain in charge, and for a considerable period could claim no victories because his revamped operations were taking land that the French had lied about taking for years.

Because Dennett is on record as saying that the consciousness by which we process either is a "mistake".
Thus we have a "mistake" which allows us to pursue a decrease in survival over something we classify as "truth" because we believe we are conscious of how that statement matches with the way we see the world.
But, eventually they'll hammer it out. You'll see.
We just need to kick the can down the road some more, because that's how all animals (which is what "we are") survive, of course.

Because moderns have a cargo cult on the principles they received from Christian society.
Vengeance is MINE, sayeth the Lord. So, because the natives were mean to your country at one time does not entail rape gangs to get them back, and the feeling that we really deserve rape gangs on the other side.
But the moderns have no machinery to operate that. Because they have no solid backing for what Locke built on God's prohibition against disposing of yourself other than its' probably a "good idea" to think of others as equal.
If you think there are two standards, it's actually easier to navigate the inequality by which I, in my flesh, find myself ranking others and the higher "equality" which should be my guide.

I don't have to lie and tell myself that everybody has this idea of equality that they do not actually practice to the extent of their day-to-day decisions and their internal biases and the preference for "equality" which no human believes enough to create the communal "SHOULD" in "I SHOULD treat everybody as equal".
And even were that so, SHOULD means we are not. Whereas if we differentiate God's standard from ours, we see that we are in a state of sin and flesh and do what we do, but that does not diminish the importance--not of doing "what everybody knows they should but really doesn't" but of what God thinks we should do.
The Christian separation between God and man is just a less schizophrenic idea than naturalism combined with moralism.

No reason. But Sam Harris is saying "Truth is better than a lie", that's a value proposition not specific to Sam Harris.

"Gangs of New York" showed that rather clearly. In fact, many of the Irish gravitated towards law enforcement to provide favoritism upon Irish immigrants (and exploit them as well).

And yet, to his sometimes ridicule, he has defined himself as a "moralist" atheist.
I realize that his moralism goes out the door with a basement full of dead babies bargain. But he has taken in lumps on the other side as an atheist moralist and somewhat "spiritualist" who kinda sorta believes in the Buddhist "We're all one collective" thing and meditation.
Also, once you realize the level of sloppiness in the eventual solutions that atheists will bring to us, you realize that atheists who haven't made the same bargain will repeat people like Sam Harris or not as they need to.
Because it really doesn't matter and they have all the time in the world to work everything out--like animals surviving, you know.

Gay-ass NPR:Political newcomer and democratic socialist Melat Kiros is poised to become the first Gen Z woman elected to Congress after defeating 15-term incumbent Democrat Diana DeGette in a primary race for Colorado's 1st Congressional District, according to a race call by the Associated Press. The win in the solidly blue district that makes up most of Denver means that Kiros, a 29-year-old Ph.D. student and lawyer, is all but likely headed to Washington, D.C., next year. She would replace DeGette, 68, who has held office since 1997, the same year Kiros was born.By the way: She got here, she says, due to the Visa "Diversity" Lottery championed by Ted Kennedy. This Communist-Islamist invader also believes that 9/11 was the "inevitable consequence of American foreign policy" and that we made the terrorists believe that another act of violence was their only choice. See, the US "destabilized" the Middle East. No, we destabilized it after 9/11. Nice blame shifting, though, terrorist.
It's an upset that comes amid a broader intraparty fight taking place among Democrats as prominent incumbents face pressure to pass the baton to a slate of more left-leaning and younger candidates pledging to reject longtime political norms and practices. Kiros, an Ethiopian immigrant, is part of that movement, backing economic populist policies including universal healthcare and childcare, and more politically polarizing issues like abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement and ending U.S. military aid to Israel.

The Left, and their desire for power at any cost, is to blame. They started it.
The GOPe won't stop them. They never consider they will be the second group against the wall, after the outer party Leftists.

My only recollection of DeGette is that she wanted to ban any religious exemption to abortion. So excuse me if I don't waste any tears on her defeat, even at the hands of a commie. Like seeing Gregor Strasser murdered by Hitler.

There was something where someone was reporting that Hasan was trying to encourage his viewers not to believe that all of the anti-gay rhetoric by Islam is all 'Propaganda' and not really real- that they loved and tolerated Homosexuals. It struck me that he is a useful idiot in more ways than one and also illustrated how this is a self-perpetuating and self-normalizing and propagandizing ecosystem. In order to keep the various splinters in cohesion, they propagandize to the various groups not to pay attention to what other members of the coalition are saying or believe what they are doing. You see it across the board. Gays are not supposed to listen to Islam. Jews are not supposed to listen to Black anti-semitism (or anti-asian.) Everyone is encouraged to ignore what everyone else is doing and focus on the designated hate object.
It's really quite remarkable.

Nice to be able to live your life like that. Law school at Notre Dame didn't work out, so off to get a Ph.D. and run for Congress! And by the way, America sucks, but here's where she is because she also could have stayed in Ethiopia, which is where she's from.

How Many Lives Could Barack Obama’s Library Have Saved?
It’s estimated that 25 percent of Chicagoans face food insecurity and persistent hunger.
For the 2025-2026 school year, Chicago Public Schools (CPS) face a $734 million deficit, driven by the end of federal pandemic aid and pension obligations. On top of that, students in CPS test well below the national average in math and reading, with just 31 percent proficient in reading and 18 percent proficient in math.
Chicago is also one of the most violent cities in the United States, with 416 homicides and 1,471 shootings in 2025. For the start of 2026, homicides are up roughly six percent and shootings are up slightly, too.
Despite these deplorable statistics, Democrats celebrated the Barack Obama Presidential Library, which opened about two weeks ago. The brutalist building, which looks like something straight out of the Empire in Star Wars, cost roughly $850 million.

I don't think there are even that many in america who would really, truly stand in the streets and get blood on their hands for the DSA. Spain then and America now aren't really comparable. We have far, far more wealth and comfort overall. We have a far, far less engaged populace overall (most people really don't follow this shit, and whatever opinions they might have are an inch deep). And what precious little street violence they could muster up to now was all rented with USAID money.
You won't see much more than a little bit of mob violence in a few major cities for a few months, is my bet. It'll get ugly, but not apocalyptic. Merely annoying, at worst. At best, horribly discrediting to the garbage baby soyjack pseudo-marxists. They've never faced opposition, their entire lives.

The demolition of the Humphrey's Executor decision is a solid hit for Dems. The decision allowing unlimited campaign contributions is a plus for Republicans. And the silver lining from the mail-in ballots decisions, though bad, does include the requirement for postmarks and a 5-day cutoff.
The Dems' Commie takeover in solid blue districts is not only a distraction for the DNC, it will have a solid impact on campaign financing.

Oh, and another DSA win in Colorado last night: the Democratic primary for Colorado State Board of Regents, which oversees the University of Colorado system.
His name? Why, Ashik Siddique! Of the Bangladesh Siddiques. Born and raised in New York. AI says "He was politicized as a teenager after 9/11 when his family faced surveillance and profiling.

I don't think that is the case. Even if the Civil War involved nukes, the problem for the left is that they are concentrated in the cities and that makes them a lot more vulnerable to nukes than rural more conservative targets. A dispersed population is always in better shape than a concentrated one when nukes start flying around.
The problem for the left is they are primarily foreign looters with shallow roots unlikely to persuade others to join and their college aged followers are not the horny handed toilers that were the core of the Socialist/Communist movement in times gone by.
Same reason the Red Guard was easily put down by the Chicom Army when it became necessary to stamp on them. And why the Lincoln brigades, etc. were not particularly successful in Spain. Fighting bravely is not the same as fighting well and trained troops are far more likely to prevail under such circumstances as street fights (also see the Reds versus the Not Sees during the waning days of Weimar). The Not Sees had the battle tested former troops not the Reds.

Not really sure that there would be much difference as the clock ticks down on this Congress. Any governor's appointee would only serve for a few months before a special election anyway. KY legislature changed the law in 2024 after ruminations that forcing a Dem to pick a GOP list would be unconstitutional under the KY law. The new law provides that a special election be held by 49 days after the vacancy exists.

The demolition of the Humphrey's Executor decision is a solid hit for Dems. The decision allowing unlimited campaign contributions is a plus for Republicans. And the silver lining from the mail-in ballots decisions, though bad, does include the requirement for postmarks and a 5-day cutoff.
Surber is usually very good.
As to the mail-in ballots thing, the usual response here is that the postmark can be altered, so it's a complete loss for us. However, that's an argument for tighter control of postmarking, and severe penalties for fraudulent postmarking. These are things we can and should implement.

The GOPe was able to defang the Tea Party by running grifters (or co-opting them) spouting the correct rhetoric, so that there was no remedy at the ballot box for elite betrayal; but that was using scam tactics against honest men. It wouldn't work the same for the Dem establishment against the DSA, who are even harder scammers.
So, I think that the primary strategy is likely to work like a dream for the Islamunists, done in a flash, very unlike how it has taken MAGA a decade of persistent hard work that is still ongoing. And, even if their regular voters aren't with them yet, they will be after the next general election; once they vote (D) out of habit, the cognitive bias of Commitment Tendency will take hold, and they will find some way to rationalize that they're not a bad person for voting for the destruction of civilization.

I call it a political compression election. With support from a surprisingly disciplined Republican caucus in the House, a slew of important decisions by the US Supreme Court that strengthen the Executive branch's power, DJT and his administration have boxed the Dems into a corner.
Not a cardboard box, either. What we are seeing is something historic - a political party so enfeebled that it can no longer operate as a cohesive entity. The only episodes in US history that come close are the 1800, the 1860, and the 1932 elections. And DJT won two presidential elections in the teeth of a vicious, monolithic MSM that used every opportunity to destroy him.

Was talking with a female friend. She was complaining female sports salaries were lower then male for most sports and in some cases there were only professional leagues for things like Lingerie football.
So I asked, do you watch the WNBA, women's soccer, etc? "No I don't like to watch sports". Ok that's actually pretty common women like to watch sports on average less then men...but why wouldn't you expect there is less opportunity then for women in pro-sports if women won't watch them? "But that's not fair!"

Democrats were always built on a coalition of the outs from the get go. The problem that the Dems have now is the coalition demands from its various identity groups cannot be met in a first past the post majoritarian system. They are only united in hating on Trump, Jews, Christians, and capitalism which makes it more and more difficult to widen the party's appeal.

I got to help raise a wonderful young step-daughter between '89 and '99 -- who suffered under the tutelage of my many political rants -- and got to live part of The American Dream of her mother and me.
She unfortunately went to college (I persuaded her to go to Whittier, but she transferred to Chico State after one semester to be with her boyfriend).
Long story short: I looked for her on social media in 2016, and she was part of some Bernie Sander for POTUS organization. What a gut-punch ... don't think I've ever been so deflated and disappointed.

Wednesday Morning Rant
So, if this upcoming election goes well, we ought to consider packing the Court - not like the Left proposes it, but in a different way and with a different purpose. The traditional notion of packing the Court so as to ensure - or improve the odds of - victory for your side is too timid. Better to obviate and humiliate the Court than try to co-opt it by padding the numbers. So think big. Don't add a few justices. Add a lot of justices and adapt the quorum rules to grind it to a halt. Make the Court far too unmaneuverable to avoid gridlock - and too absurd to command respect.
Grow the number of justices not to 13 or 17 or 19, but to 100,000. Build them a stadium to work in, and they can travel around to major college football stadiums for trials until it's constructed. With the new count would come new quorum rules, as those are also set by legislation. Right now, there are nine justices, with six required for quorum. Make the new quorum requirement 75,000 justices. Without at least that many justices confirmed and present, no cases can be heard. The odds of SCOTUS hearing any case again under such a scenario are fairly slim. Since such a large number would make seating good justices impossible, it would also simplify confirmation. Nominate anyone. Take a page out of Caligula's book and put a horse on the bench. It just wouldn't matter anymore. Even if the new mega-SCOTUS could be filled and enough of them show up to form the quorum, it would be a circus. That many people in a single deliberative body could never reach a meaningful decision. It would be arbitrary and absurd. It's arbitrary and absurd now, of course, but there will be no way to hide that in the new Supreme Circus of the United States. Trials would take forever. The grandstanding would be continuous. The preparation materials and limitless variety of opinions would keep International Paper and Georgia-Pacific farting through silk until the end of time. The new trees that would need to be planted to overcome the sudden run on copy paper would even keep the environmentalists happy! It would also show very clearly just how valuable the SCOTUS is, and effectively eliminate the consequences of ignoring it. Who cares what 100,000 circus monkeys think? It could rule any way it wanted and it would be ignored. It would immediately lose any gravitas it has and would go from Elite Institution of Very Serious and Thoughtful Men to the side show it is in all but reputation. This would, of course, open the doors for any and all bad behavior whereas today it opens the doors only for some bad behavior that continues the game, but so be it. With communism resurgent among the youth and in our urban hives, and with the Left no longer pretending that law or righteousness matter, why not? If the game is now pure will to power, then cut it off at the knees. Reduce the Court - and its power - not by shrinking it, but by growing it to absurdity.Comments

1. Legislation altering the jurisdiction of federal courts in various ways: stripping and limiting jurisdiction where possible, granting jurisdiction in ways that would flood the courts with types of litigation that the kind of lawyers who aspire to federal judgeships do not want to hear, consider beneath them. To keep them from hearing matters where they are a nuisance, and to make the job hard and undesirable.
2. Legislation to strip out accustomed amenities. Travel and CLE budgets zeroed out. No perks.
3. Legislation to eliminate support staff. No more law clerks, no more staff attorneys, no more secretaries. Judges do their own work from now on. All of it. This will reduce opinion length and require efficiency on the part of the judges.
A lot could be accomplished by doing things that drive careerists and politicians away from the courts and replace them with working lawyers.

And then "lose" their personal file.

And GAO disable their PIV card.
And also loses their file.
Then, flag their SSN as fraudulent.
And then flag it for suspicion of money laundering.
Then TSA puts them on the no-fly list.
Then audit them for failing to pay their withholding taxes.
And so on and so on and so on ....
Every agency should be aligned in making sure no one can work for any leftist judge or justice.
Same treatment for Roberts and ACB until they get their heads right.
It's long past time we think the rules are there to stop criminals anymore--the left has shown the rules exist to punish those you don't like.

It is. It's just the abbreviated version.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a narrow 5-4 decision, the United States Supreme Court ruled today that any baby born in or within five yards of an Olive Garden restaurant is an Italian citizen.
The ruling was met with skepticism from some Italians who worried that many might use the new law to engage in what is referred to as "birth tourism" and would flock to the popular restaurant chain to quickly have a baby on the floor of the facility and then head back home with a new Italian citizen as part of their families.

3) win the midterms
4) invoke the Jackson Rule and start deporting these new "citizens." Flat refuse to even respond, even to the ever more desperate and shrill court orders demanding their return.
5) flag the courthouse personal and facilities payment accounts as "suspicious of terrorism" and cancel all. Because they are terrorist holding America hostage to their "rules"

News reports this morning are that travel and travel/entertainment spending is through the roof, at all time highs. Air travel is at record highs. Cruises are set to have an all-time record year.
People are so affluent that travel to AK spiked like a rocket, because lotsa people booked last-minute AK flights just to avoid the heatwave in the Northeast.
People are happy, secure, spending money, and enjoying life. As is The Blade! Join him!

Senate is pretty much out of reach for the Dems this cycle due to states and the upside is perhaps a larger majority. It is much more idiosyncratic than House midterms. Even House midterms, six year into a term rarely produces the huge swings that a president's first term does. Plus the ending of the racial gerrymandering is going to make it necessary for the Dems to sweep all the competitive seats. Hard to do.

Ruled a suicide and this is from the sheriff before he clammed up.
"'He died from a self-inflicted shotgun wound to the chest. He found a tree and he pulled a table over there, and he got on that table, and he took an extension cord and put it around a limb, put it around his neck and he shot himself in the chest with a shotgun.
'It was very evident that the shotgun worked because there was not a lot of blood or anything on the scene. You can tell the shotgun blast was on his chest, you can tell that because there is a hole in the chest and pellets came out the back of his back. It was definitely self-inflicted in our opinion'."
There is also the UN employee that was involved in the Clinton Global foundation who died weightlifting apparently.

This is the big flaw in M v M.
Theoretically congress scum have to face elections and if they don't do what their voters want get sent home.
But SC justices have their seat until they resign or die.
In a serious society if you did really want a court to decide constitutionality they would regularly and I mean regularly get removed from office for not closely following the constitution.
So take the birthright case. Did Indians get citizenship when the 14th was passed? No? Ok if you ignore that you are gone. Did you read why the people that passed/wrote the 14th said they did it? No? Ok you are gone

Who would do the removing though?
Surely not Congress, which can barely do anything, and when it does is not known for its fidelity to the constitution.
The President? We know what that would look like whenever a Democrat was elected, and I don't think many Republican ones would wow us here either. After all, they saddled us with people like Powell, O,Connor, Kennedy, Souter, Roberts.
Retention elections? You'd have to rewrite the constitution (ironically enough). And, well, the most of the public who are engaged (and that's not most of the public) knows whether it likes a decision at best. Ask most people how riled up they are about gay marriage being imposed by judicial fiat, for example. In my experience, most are not.

Likely to lose under Employment Division v. Smith standard as long as enforcement is consistent. One of the zoning and code enforcement issues with unlicensed churches in residential neighborhoods ends up being parking, noise, and other nuisances. So many locales ban religious assemblies on a regular basis in residential zoning areas.
Unless there was some sort of animus (see Lukumi Babulu Aye v. City of Hialeah), neutral generally applicable laws can be enforced even on religious practices--not thoughts but practices. Decided on rational basis test. As long as the govt has a reasonable policy that applies to all religions equally, the plaintiffs must prove that the government's action is unreasonable. Hard to do.

The way that works, if you were to innocently point out that almost every single social health issue was demonstrably better in say, the 1950s - they will start screeching like stuck pigs that it wasn’t perfect for everybody. Therefore, no comparisons can ever be made. The End.

Sarah Jessica Parker is by far the most commonly cited example in discussions of this (often rude) description.
People frequently point to her long, narrow face shape, prominent chin/jawline, and overall equine-like proportions—especially in memes, forums, and lists about distinctive celebrity faces. She’s embraced her unique look and had massive success with it (e.g., Sex and the City), but the “horse face” label has stuck for decades.
Other frequently mentioned names:
• Taylor Swift: Often listed for her long face and features.
• Celine Dion: Called out in “celebrities who look like horses” threads for her facial structure.
• Hilary Duff and Anna Kendrick: Appear on user-generated “horse face” actor lists.
• Others occasionally mentioned: Hilary Swank, Tori Spelling, and in older threads, figures like Chelsea Clinton or Camilla (though these are more niche or political jabs).

1st game summer ball, we beat our arch-rivals in a back and forth game. Little had a tough, character-building night, twice getting out at 3rd, despite getting on 1st 3/3, with a FC, E, and hard fought BB for the tying RBI in the 6th, which the next batter walked off with a single RBI to end the game 8-7, after which they mobbed the batter.
This arch-rival (largely the team of the same makeup), they had just beat in the Championsjip just two weeks prior.

2nd game, we beat our other arch-rivals (hey, it's small rural town America, they're all arch-rivals), 7-4. Little had a great night, starting with a K and ending with an RBI single. He got back on the horse, delivered 2 Ks, giving up 1 BB and 1 run in two innings, and delivered 17 strikes on 31 pitches for 9 batters.
We'd been working on adding some speed to his pitching by changing up some of his mechanics, and I'd asked the coach to hold off pitching him until we could dial it in. Just that morning, everything clicked, he got dialed in over about 10 pitches that we'd allotted for game day practice, and got him tools to get back his accuracy without reverting to old form, while giving him his confidence back.
We'd also been working on his attitude, body language, and composure in the face of setbacks, which was a surprising issue in his first game. On his strikeout, the third out of a 4 run, two out rally, I saw him drop his head and shoulders, then, after a half-second, he made the conscious decision and held his head up, held his shoulders back, and trotted back to the dugout like a boss.
That's what baseball is about.

Neither. First was a force. FC, and they rightly targeted lead runner.
Second time he was pulled by 3B coach and went after initial hesitation, spotting the bal lin the outfield, then coach rightly sent him back. Mix up all around, but that's baseball, and it was first game, with everyone feeling each other out. Little didn't want to not go and disappoint new coach, but in that instance, had his better judgment prevailed, he would not have gotten out.

You swing some fists, it's in the context of the game. No one's ever going to get arrested for that like they would if it was a bar or a grocery store.
Here's a thought experiment.... Imagine if an MMA fighter went nutso and threw a guy into a full on choke, but in between rounds, or after the fight was over. I don't even know how that would be approached. Would it get treated differently than a sucker punch would in the same situation? Would that lead to an actual arrest and charges being filed? I don't know.

The Republicans jettisoned conservatism and replaced it with a jobs program for frauds. They're being handily supplanted by MAGA now.
The Democrats jettisoned liberalism and trade unionism and replaced it with.... Bidenism? I don't know what you'd call it, but it's hollow, self-serving, and only differentiated by the Republican trajectory in its sheer brazen chutzpah. And, lo and behold, they are being supplanted by outright, unabashed Communists.
The people want to stand for something. The people want YOU to stand for something. You have to give them something more than Free Shit and Sound Bites. Even if what you give them is outright Evil, they'll accept that so long as you give them something to sink their teeth into.

If memory serves, and it might not in this case, there was a hockey player who was charged with assault for hitting another player in the face with his stick. I believe the charges were dropped, though, as it happened in Canada and witnesses said that he apologized immediately after.

Apparently they had two communities on either side of the Choaspes river so the poor side, which didn't have the tomb, got a deal to carry Daniel's corpse over to that side every other year to partake in his blessings.

The Morning Report — 7/ 1 /26
“The Court today takes the extraordinary step of holding facially unconstitutional the President’s Order excluding from citizenship the children of foreign temporary visitors and illegal aliens,” Thomas writes:Of course, one does not have to be one of if not America's greatest jurists and legal minds ever to serve in any court to know how completely insane this decision was. All one has to do is know the most rudimentary facts about how and why the 14th Amendment was enacted as well as to be able, and willing, to read and understand plain English What happened yesterday was yet another jackboot to the head of America as founded, as it lays prostrate on the ground after decades of curb-stomping by the Democrats and those whose complicity and inaction allow them to get away with it. And the President nailed it with this observation:
In doing so, the Court adds to the sad history of the Fourteenth Amendment, which was designed and understood to secure equal rights for the freed blacks but has instead been repurposed for political projects that the Reconstruction Congress did not support. Because many potential applications of the President’s Order are consistent with the original public meaning of the Citizenship Clause, I respectfully dissent. [Emphasis added]
“I would like to congratulate President Xi, and the Great Country of China, on their massive Birthright Citizenship WIN!” Trump declared via his Truth Social platform. The court’s decision protects, for now, the practice of “birth tourism,” which is used by many wealthy Chinese nationals who travel to the United States to give birth to their children.
And if I still want to engage in delusion, there are a few Pollyannas out there as well:
Vice President JD Vance argued Tuesday that there is a “big silver lining” in the divided Supreme Court ruling striking down President Trump’s executive order outlawing birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants and tourists.Yeah, we have an opportunity to reverse this? I'm sure future POTUS Titty Caca Ocasio Cortez will get right on that by packing the court with 19 or more Maoists! 250 years was a good run, I guess. If we make it to 500 or even 1,000 we'll probably be where England is, the irony of course is that that is the nation we rebelled against in the first place. So, at what point do we take arms against a sea of troubles, and by opposing end them?
“I know a lot of conservatives, Laura, certainly the people that I’m talking to, that you’re talking to, are extremely disappointed in this, but I do actually think there’s a really big silver lining here, and that’s the simple fact that a lot of legal experts expected this case to go the wrong direction by seven to two, or even eight to one,” Vance said in an interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham.
“The fact that this case was a 5-to-4 decision effectively means that the concept of birthright citizenship, which is an absurdity to the 14th Amendment, that concept is hanging by a thread,” the vice president argued during his appearance on “The Ingraham Angle.”
. . . “What I take from [the ruling] is, yes, we’ve got to fix the immigration system even more, we have to be even more aware of who’s coming into our country to make sure that they’re not benefiting from this atrocious Supreme Court ruling,” Vance said, adding, “but it also means that we have to keep fighting … because we actually have an opportunity to reverse this decision.”
The vice president further argued that the high court’s “major, major mistake” might invite pregnant foreign nationals “to come here quite literally on a vacation, give birth, and then all of a sudden the child and their family have the full benefits of American citizenship.”
“It’s just a preposterous ruling, and the absurdity of that outcome suggests why the Supreme Court should have went the other way.”
Or do we doom ourselvelves forever to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune unto death? Have a good day,

- There is more than one way to skin a cat, after all. The justices say that babies born in our country to illegal aliens and birth tourists are U.S. citizens? Fine. What if these grasping, scofflaw women weren’t allowed into the country in the first place?
President Trump Could End Most Birthright Citizenship With This 1 Simple Trick
- It’s counterintuitive, but there’s a cost to solving a political problem: It removes the issue from the public sphere. Because we lost today, the immigration issue is still relevant. And we can still use it to drive voters to the polls.
The Political Upside of Losing the Birthright Citizenship Case - One ruling declared it within the president’s authority to interpret the word “temporary” as the opposite of “permanent” with regard to migrants who have been permitted to live within the U.S. for what is understood to be a finite period. He can order their removal. (Good!) A separate ruling, on the other hand, affirmed automatic American citizenship to babies born to migrants who have illegally entered the country. (Bad!) Yet a third ruling deemed it legal for states to count voter ballots that arrive after Election Day, thus rendering the whole concept of “Election Day” void. (Very bad!)

- “The fact that this case was a 5-to-4 decision effectively means that the concept of birthright citizenship, which is an absurdity to the 14th Amendment, that concept is hanging by a thread. . . “What I take from [the ruling] is, yes, we’ve got to fix the immigration system even more, we have to be even more aware of who’s coming into our country to make sure that they’re not benefiting from this atrocious Supreme Court ruling,” Vance said, adding, “but it also means that we have to keep fighting … because we actually have an opportunity to reverse this decision.” (I'm sure future POTUS Titty Caca Cortez will get right on that by packing the court with Maoists! - jjs)

Forget respectfully…. There can be ZERO respect for a decision that so mangled constitutional concepts that as far as I can tell the majority views US citizens as old-fashioned feudal era subjects (of the king, ironically) rather than human beings with rights granted by God almighty. They really backed themselves into a corner… I wonder if they even realize how abhorrent their “reasoning” is….. no, they knew the result they wanted and generated a claptrap of tangled logic to get there; certainly the constitution didn’t factor into their decision

Buying themselves a separate peace by selling America to the wolves.
But make no mistake:
This is an issue Republicans can fix:
Simple majority vote in the House and the Senate to limit citizenship to those legally born here; no judicial review.
And you can immediately tell who is not serious about fixing it by those who propose a Constitutional Amendment--that has to pass super-majorities of Congress, the President and 3/4 of the states.

When leftists are allowed to define the very terms or words used in debate they will tend to have an advantage in manipulating opinions or persuasion.
That is rather the point, appeals to emotion. Euphemisms. “Undocumented Immigrants” makes it sound more benign, no? Like he just misplaced his wallet somewhere.

In going against the grain of my species (heresy!), I will say what I've believed for a long time. Women are simply not up to the task of using logic, not emotion, when it comes to political or constitutional matters. Yes, plenty of men are as guilty, but I do not trust women as a whole and do not vote for women because of it. The only exception I can think of at the moment is Sarah Huckabee Sanders. The rest? Totally unreliable. They think and act like women. And women fall short in my book when their feelz overtake common sense and logic. The exact opposite of what this country needs. I was always skeptical of ACB for that reason. And she's proven my theory too many times.
Posted by: Lady in Black at July 01, 2026 08:13 AM (qBdHI)
I believe given the 5-4 rulings on Election Day and Birthright citizenship, and the legal arguments made, anyone who treasures their Second Amendment rights should be concerned. I expect more constitutional subversion from ACB and Roberts. I also believe that any favorable ruling would come with enough caveats it will give the defendant states another avenue to undermine our Second Amendment rights.

1. Trump made Vance the lead negotiator. He cannot go around publicly stating that the Iranians are faithless and everyone in the country should be annihilated in nuclear fire.
2. Vance's comments on the "silver lining" are almost exactly the same thing that Kurt Schlichter and other have said.
Posted by: I used to have a different nic at July 01, 2026 08:03 AM (ExV1e)
I enjoy Schlicter’s writing, his ideas usually echo my own, and the only fault I find is that he tends to be far too much of an apologist at times. For instance his piece yesterday, which you referenced, said (paraphrased) “this was great news! Look how close we came! All we need is a couple new justices and a better Congress, and I know this will be overturned in 20 or 30 years!”
Kurt, we don’t have 20 or 30 years left to fix this. By then, all the children of the ones being born today will be having children of their own, and the games will be over.

Sure, my point was that Trump is a big poopyhead who should have waited until after the midterms, not caught the Iranian leadership all in one place, and had everyone pissing and moaning about how he attacked before the 2028 election.
Everyone would forget their disappointment with Vance as quickly as they've forgotten their disgust with Rubio but for the fact that he's from Florida and, for some reason, that's an aphrodisiac for commenters here.

That's just how the machine runs. But Barrett and Roberts did this for the same reason everyone in the ruling class does what they do - class loyalty.
This isn't a decision that required any cajoling. Anchor babies are a key feature of the ruling class war against the subject classes. It would be treason to undermine that. No top man in good standing will go against it.
Same with vote fraud. That's why I never considered the possibility of Congress just shrugging their shoulders and saying "well, I guess the hated subjects win this critical battle. Let's just surrender. We're passing SAVE. We shall put down our tabulators and rig elections no more."
That's not how any of this works.

I read his book, too. I was very impressed with his success from his very humble upbringing. He grew up in a town just a few miles from where I'm from. I could relate to much of what he wrote about: his blue collar upbringing, the hopelessness that befell so many of those he knew, and it's what led him, against all odds, to succeed as he did in a most impressive way.
Only the next couple of years will tell how his political path will unfold, but I do have a few cautions that are starting to bother me. The biggest being Schmucker Carlson. But we'll see...

I am also astounded the War of 1812 wasn't addressed, it seems. It was directly due to a nation (Britain) asserting that those in America were still subject to British authority because they had been born on what was once British soil.

I believe everyone knows that Vance is just doing what he’s told to do, and has little choice in the matter. But it’s easier to openly criticize him than to criticize the one giving the orders.
Be that as it may, it’s quite obvious that the MOU
talks Vance was heading have already collapsed completely, and no more are scheduled. Trump wants a nice quiet July 4th celebration with no distractions; but remember how Muslims love to launch big attacks on their enemies holidays? (Like October 7)

that's just baked in the cake.
to some degree, the Roe decision led us to this. yesterday I was contemplating the large number of my peers (and young boomers) who chose foreign adoption. I was almost one of them, but I'm too stubborn to give up even after years of IF treatment.
and many would have adopted domestically but it was basically impossible. of say 20 families I know, ONE adopted domestically and it took them years. they tried to adopt their daughter's sibling later, and it never went through
partly this is due to the Roe decision. families with primary or secondary IF, or those who "didn't want to burden the planet with more normal babies" or something - they basically had to adopt internationally.
China was maybe the best option, but very hard and very pricy. Anyway. ACB went with Haiti, likely via the Church. The Roberts' did a whole thing for Mrs Roberts to sneak some Irish children out via South American (shady) because she was Irish American.
For those of us paying out the nose for IF treatments, and for those who payed out the nose for adoptions, tough.

Once he's out of the picture, either of these men will immediately seek to co-opt his movement and restore the status quo ante. But this is true of any Republican. As of January 2028, we go back to a controlled opposition cuck party machine - just wearing red hats, this time.

If we get one of them across the finish line in 2028 or both if they're on the same ticket, we have a chance of replacing more Supreme Court justices.
If we lose the Democrat party will pack the court with communists.
The 3 Democrat justices we have will be considered too right wing compared to what the left is going to put forward.

How does that work with Chinese birth tourism?
So the anchor baby returns to China and after 18 years states like Colorado will let the new voter participate in elections.
In which district? And where do the jury duty summons originate and get sent?
I submit that Chinese birth tourists have superior rights to Heritage US citizens. First, they don't have to pay US income taxes, they get to enjoy full voting rights with absolutely none of the duties, and at any time make claims to whatever residual benefits that will remain once the world has plundered us into penury.

You're not wrong but the "you HAVE to vote for people you think will betray you to stop the communists" only seems to work one way.
Then as soon as someone came along who was actually on our side, the "thoughtful Republicans" in the party said outright: "nope time to vote for communists".
Should give anybody pause. And should make the argument moot. Because an argument that only works one way is no argument at all.

While I have reservations about DeSantis - stemming from the fact that he's never had a job outside of government and has broken his word in the past - I would support him in a general election but not in the primary. Of course, I don't think he'd ever get to the general election because he has no personality and, sadly, that matters more than it should.

If you're a U.S. citizen and you're living abroad, you have to file taxes on your income. Doesn't matter where it's from. And if you want exclusions or credits, you still have to file. (This is the #1 reason why departing Americans renounce their citizenship.)
The IRS should be mining foreign countries looking for "anchor babies" and other citizens who aren't filing. Instead of obsessing about whether your grandma reported her Etsy knitting earnings, they should be focused on this.
And then you can give them a choice: renounce your citizenship or pay back taxes on everything you owed, including penalties.

In the same township, but another district thereof, the state representative's campaign committee cleared over $1.4 million in total donation with PSEA & aligned statewide public labor coalitions acting as dominant institutional anchors.
My state representative, sitting at the center of two school district boundary lines, is a primary recipient of PSEA endorsement & direct PAC capital, keeping his legislative record tightly aligned with the union's opposition to corporate tax credits or school voucher programs.
Note: Every one of the three noted above are "Democrats."

Check your own state. If reliably Blue, and you're not wealthy or "friends" of teachers' union affiliated, your area is likely screwed, too, when it comes to school choice and/or the opportunity to have kids receive equal opportunity in education.
Speaking of unions -
The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) national and local staff are unionized with the Washington-Baltimore NewsGuild. They've been since 2017!
The Metro DC DSA covers Washington D.C., Northern Virginia, and several Maryland counties, with over 3,400 local members. The primary Maryland branches actively fight for rent control, tenant organizing, tax justice, progressive governance, yada yada.
It works. The Communications Workers of America (CWA) is a major U.S. labor union that has increasingly aligned itself with progressive politics, democratic socialism, and anti-corporate campaigns. Its members actively participate in left-leaning movements and socialist coalitions.
Bernie's people. ✊🏻

Remember that China ALSO (power of AND) allowed flights OUT of the country and banned flights INTO the country...in essence, making sure the rest of the world got COVID good and hard while at the same time trying to halt the spread inside China.

Top Story
- South Korea's national and regional governments and major industrial groups have jointly committed to $1 trillion in investment to expand production of chips and bots. (Ars Technica)
$585 billion to increase chip production, with a particular focus on doubling memory production within five years.
$357 billion to construct new datacenters to, uh, use up all that extra memory.
And still more billions to expand production of robots and build 8 gigawatts of new generating capacity to power it all.
Tech News
- Speaking of which, Henrico County in Virginia is asking schools to open the blinds and turn off the lights to save electricity. (404 Media) (archive site)
Henrico County has 37 datacenters and is constructing 17 more right now.
- Meta - which is to say Facebook - is reusing its DDR4 memory in DDR5 servers. (Tom's Hardware)
That doesn't work, so what they've done is create a custom CXL-to-DDR4 adapter chip, which allows the servers to access memory over PCIe.
- G Skill's new ultra low latency 32GB memory kits cost just $1100. (Tom's Hardware)
Thanks, but no.
- For those experiencing difficulties with the latest iteration of Microsoft Notepad, there is a solution. (GitHub)
Though you will need to assemble it yourself.
It should come to about 2686 bytes and has full feature compatibility with classic Notepad.
- The Redmagic Astra 2 is a large small tablet with a 2400x1504 185Hz OLED display. (Liliputing)
With its 9" screen it's really pushing the boundaries of a small tablet, but it's only about 20% heavier than the 7" Nexus 7.
It runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 and has up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage. Pricing in China starts at $780 for the base model with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage and goes up from there.
The previous model - no longer available - started at $549, so it's gotten a lot more expensive.
- The GPD Win Max 3 is a mini-laptop with, curiously enough, a 9" 2400x1504 OLED display. (Liliputing)
With a 165Hz refresh so it's the display used in the previous Redmagic Astra tablet.
Apart from that, it has up to a Ryzen 395 processor with 128GB of RAM, and M.2 2280 and 2230 slots for storage.
And a detachable 97Wh battery, which is a lot given its size.

Saudi Arabia first blocked U.S. use of its bases and airspace for Project Freedom, Trump's operation to keep the waterway open, halting the mission. The White House threatened to withhold missile-defense interceptors until Riyadh reversed course. It did. The rift has strained ties, with Washington now weighing a reduced military footprint in the kingdom in favor of Israel and Jordan.

Rain chances are higher today, and I need to go shopping for new khakis. The pair I've been wearing at home for some years, and patched during the Sniffle Scare, have finally reached the end of their useful life. Banana Republic and the Gap each have factory stores in the same shopping center with a J. Crew and an Old Navy. Convenient, if annoying that they're not closer to me.
With any luck I'll find what I need in the first store.
("Old Navy"? Hmph. Just try buying an vintage bridge coat or pea jacket there.)

A contest for a new leader of the Labour party is expected to begin next month. [July]
The winner will then become the next prime minister because the Labour Party is the biggest political party in parliament.
Mr Starmer said he will ask the Labour Party's National Executive Committee that nominations for the party's new leader open on 9 July.
He said this will be completed before the summer break, which is a week later, on 16 July.
In the case of a leadership contest, this will mean that a new leader would be in place by the time parliament returns from its summer break on 1 September.

I've a suspicion that the electricity usage is more leaning towards HVAC - cooling down the schools. And letting the sunlight in, with all its waves of radation, is the #1 cause of heat generation in the schools (and the world, for that matter).
Especially if, being good little serfs, they moved to CFLs, then to LED lighting, which is supposed to use less energy. On the plus side, LEDs do generate less heat.

I'm also reminded of a recent surge in web malware from "AdShield". It tries to get around various adware blocks, AND the JavaScript that invokes it is a mess of obsfucated code that tries to add together strings of unicode values and then EXECs them. Just like malware. If you happen to have Dev Tools open to the Networking tab, it goes crazy sending messages to "HTML-LOAD" and similar servers, like it was the rest of the world pouring over the US borders during the Biden Empire.

For the 2000 fireworks, The scaffolding on the Washington Monument was a staging area for fireworks.
Bill Clinton was President for the Party December 31st 2000 in the US Mall. Any astronomer knows this party was a year early.
6 Jumbotron were installed down the Reflecting Pool. I was with my abundantly-provided black girlfriend at the end of the Reflecting Pool. Secret Service screening broke down by that time.
President Clinton was late. He had with him Sophia Loren and Lix Taylor, both without a lot of torso coverage on a cool night. He gave a forgettable speech.
The fireworks went off close to me on the Washington Monument repair scaffolding. For only 20 minutes.
Then the official party left, and there were more fireworks from a badge on the Potomac.

How do I access CA? How do I get the records displayed? Going through STN? Elon Musk couldn't finance that.
No, it's a long, long plodding search with Google Scholar and the databases from the publishers. I've gotten the citations from ACS, Elsevier, Wiley, Springer and a couple of others. The Royal Society of Chemistry is the last one I'm going to go through.
Then, whenever that's all done, I have to organize them all by keywords, which will have to be generated. And after that, I actually have to get them to read them. And there's going to be close to 8500 of them.
And that's just the journal articles. There's also patents, though that will be a one-day search. Even limiting them to US, EP and PCT, there will be an equivalent number. I feel like Sadak in Search of the Waters of Oblivion.

At the White House afterparty that time, my Secret Service friend told me Liz was on one side of Bill Clinton, and Sophia Loren was on the other. Bill stared down Sophia's dress, while ignoring Liz. Liz called him out on that. But I don't know the rest of the story.

No, none of us are ever going to fight for it.
Those farmers two and a half centuries fought for it.
All we do is talk and vote, and sit on juries to give the system a veneer of legitimacy. And pay taxes because we've decided that's somehow virtuous. And submit to the government's demands (see covid) because it doesn't occur to most of us not to mindlessly obey. We suppress men so that idiot women can pretend to be our equals, and celebrate sodomites.
We don't value independence. Most of "our" corporations and public servants will happily enforce European speech codes. And we're addicted to cheap Chinese shit. And for some reason even our side's leaders want greater entanglement with the Chicoms.
This generation simply isn't worthy of the name "American."

There's some time between now and November. I agree that Paxton can run this idjit's numbers down just by telling Tejanos that "Talarico" is not in fact his birth name, and that the Gospel of Thomas is not in fact in the New Testament.
Women are going to be a harder sell, but mothers of daughters might appreciate his stance on trannies.

The Tejanos will not care. Talarico is Italian. And he was adopted. He didn’t make the name up.

And every pollster missed it. It’s not just that they didn’t want it to be true; the “science” of polling has been hopelessly broken by cell phones and caller ID, among other things, and pollsters mostly just make up numbers that the people paying them want to hear.

So if you drop the file:

It creates a Card called React, two search tags: Guide and Reference and the name of the file: React-How-To

Hilarious, in a dark way. Not to be outdone, some including Sen. Schmitt are talking about a constitutional amendment (!) as a "fix". Other Legal Cult types are musing about the "opening" Kavanaugh left, for legislative fixes. Such "fixes" have as much chance of happening as a repeal of O-care.

My prediction is more recent, that the NYT will have a glowing profile of John Roberts, "The Man Who Stood firm against tyranny."
It will start by noting that he had a dodgy origin--appointed by W after all--but grew to recognize the creeping tyranny ("America is the best!") that threatened this nation.
Real history will note him as the greatest traitor in American history.

SCOTUS now issues decrees, not anything resembling a serious ruling (though, for the 1,000th time, the ridiculous conceit that courts should be anything more than glorified clerks should always be rejected - contemptuously) based on a straight reading of the law or constitution.
Not sure I can bear to read all of it, but seems they've reached new lows now. Wasn't Ginsberg the idiot who burbled about "learning" from other constitutions (like that of the model state of South Africa!). And now we have these 5 cretins citing concepts from extinct monarchies to invert the plain meaning (zero doubt about the actual purpose) of an amendment.

There's always boxing, and now all the new more barbaric fighting sports, for the Coliseum mob.
Sat with an NHL owner at a game in the late 80s, asked him about the ban-fighting situation. Amazingly, given his team's "legacy" and nickname, he was in favor, but he said only a handful of other owners had agreed. Gretzky and a few other players had pushed it, IIRC.
An AHL player I dined with after a game in which he was involved in a brief altercation said they were laughing. It was kind of a pro forma "fight" as one goalies had been accidentally bumped during a commercial break, so both sides felt "obligated" to do the kabuki.
Of course without fights hockey can't exist, well, except for the 95% of hockey in which fights are just as banned as in tennis or golf.

>> and also delves into some of the aspects of orbital mechanics. I knew it was complicated, but I didn’t realize the twists involved with rendezvous.
There are literal twists involved. I recalled some of the complexity last night after Rodrigo posted that cool ISS docking simulator thing.
They originally misunderestimated just how complex and tricky this would be. That is, final proximity operations. Chasing a spacecraft already in orbit, that is launching another spacecraft and matching course and speed, they knew that was complex.
But once you got within a few hundred feet, they didn't think it would be that bad. And that was due to just naively applying the Equivalence Principle. The Erf's tidal field is very small, literally on the order of micro-g's. So they assumed it would be close to 3D inertial space for two close-by objects free-falling in orbit together.
The trouble is while that is true, it's the time scale involved. In LEO, you're whipping around around once per 90 minutes give or take, and that means that tidal field is also rotating. That makes all the difference.

This wiped out all sorts of things we took for granted. The Milkman and full service gasoline stations. My parents were by no means poor, but the single breadwinner went bye-bye. Generic brands. Powdered Milk instead of fresh. Dairy butter a distant memory. Beef and pork did a moonshot, etc. Workers wages have been stagnant since then. 1974. That’s insane.
By 1980 the US dollar was in trouble. The Fed chief Paul Volcker, raised interest rates overnight to almost 20%, including the overnight rate in fact. That’s the interest rates banks charge each other.
This is not possible today. Not even close. Monetary inflation steals your money. Even at the “targeted” 2 or 3 percent rate of inflation, your savings and investments are cut in half every 20 years. Complete bullshit.

A big part of the expense were the tracking stations and comms. They had all these factors to think about. We’re gonna launch from the Cape at a certain degree bearing, and we want to more or less fly over “friendly” countries in case of trouble.
Certain countries might be ideally located for a tracking station, but they are unstable regimes. John Llewellyn was a former combat Marine who was in Mission Control sent to some remote site that was “experiencing unrest” and roadblocks and twitchy guards with guns and that kind of crap. Gene Kranz got a cryptic teletype from him once that took a while to figure out what he meant.
“We’ve got them where we want them” meaning they were surrounded, but they weren’t leaving their post. LOL

Tananarive tracking station was a big one during the Apollo days. I remember that because of the name. They moved there in 1964 from some other African site due to political unrest, and I think they closed Tananarive in '75 when the govt. became hostile.

In October 1973, the Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries announced that it was implementing a total oil embargo against countries that had supported Israel at any point during the 1973 Yom Kippur War,
They took advantage of Nixon being hamstrung by the Democrat putsch against him.
October ‘73 was the perfect time to punch them in the nose.

Well, thank God you never employed me. I went through two serious bouts of that garbage, and luckily I didn't lose my job. Do you fire people who get heart attacks? I don't think so.
True, actual depression is chemical, not a case of the sads. It is treatable, usually, but not always, with medication. I know that medication is prescribed like candy, but for those who truly need it, it is a Godsend, as is the time away from stress that is required for recovery.
The fact that Muffy and Buffy claim they are depressed and take a bunch of SRIs doesn't negate that fact that some of us need that treatment to live.

And with this absurd "ruling" that completely inverts the uncontested intent, context, purpose, AND language of the 14th, remember anything/anyone born inside US territory is automatically a citizen. Don't believe such citizens can be denaturalized or deported (how would that be possible? deported to where?), as naturalized citizens can be. Unless there has been a massive change in our laws that I've missed.
This atrocity has 2 enormous practical consequences only one of which seems to be recognized. First it codifies and greatly increases the perverse incentive to enter the US illegally (or any way possible). Second it represents a new maximum in judicial lawlessness and usurpation. There was no ambiguity in the 14th, its language and history are simple and uncontestable. It was specifically a remedy for the unique situation of former slaves in the US. Period. That it was such was redundantly confirmed by decades later when equivalent legislation for Native Americans, also obviously people in a unique situation, was passed.

I think what we all want is to matter to someone. Not in the sense that parents matter to children, because children could not survive otherwise.
I mean that someone choose that someone else matters to them, not because of necessity, but because of choice.
To put it dumber, "I want to matter to someone because that someone decided I mattered to them, not because of necessity, but because they looked at me and said 'You matter to me.'"

Oh, yes. Steve Graham, IIRC. For a while he called his blog "The Carnival of Hate" but he toned down the title, as people looked askance at it.
Last I saw, he had contracted a terrible case of Religion, and was bouncing between churches. I hope he is okay.

In fact, all Aliens & Foreign nationals have been required to register since about 1940, with their updated address. The F.B.I. had a fairly large database of named individuals who would be rounded up and detained during a declared national emergency.
During the war foreign nationals or “enemy” aliens could not be in possession of cameras, binoculars or shortwave radios. Enrico Fermi was not allowed to fly on aircraft because - before he was naturalized - Italy was a belligerent. Later, the government didn’t want to let him fly simply because he was so important to the war effort.
The government can make things happen (or not happen) when it wants to do so. If your country is invaded by millions of illegal aliens, guess what. Someone wants it that way.

Last thread, I was going on about this being the anniversary of the Tunguska event, early morning June 30th, 1908. The object was likely a big fragment from the Taurid meteor stream, which is debris from Comet Encke. The stream's orbit crosses the earth right at this time, and the angle comes in from the sun. The morning side of earth is leading in the orbit, and that's the side it comes in on. Siberia was in the bullseye by luck of the rotational draw.
Now, there is a tie-in with the Younger Dryas Impact theory, too. Comet Encke could well be a chunk of a much larger comet that broke up ages ago, and on a faithful day 12,800 years ago, the Earth plowed right into that.
Some of the YD Impact guys joke that the date was June 30, 10,800 BC.

No, what it means is illegal aliens have always been liable to the Draft, should one be implemented, and all males regardless of “status” are in fact required to Register upon their 18th birthday . Sorry if I wasn’t clear?

I was trying to find an animation of what happens to a little spherical cloud of test particles dropped into a circular orbit. That shows how object initially close together drift in a complex ways. I've seen it before, but couldn't easily find a good one. Anyway, that little ball of particles will get stretched into a long skinny banana like shape all along the orbital path, and it will be oscillating and undulating as it does so.
That's a perfect way to see how a comet forms a long debris trail that becomes a meteor stream as it goes around the sun.

Was at an intersection, almost turned left in front of an oncoming bike... caught myself, but it could've been ugly. And it was after I'd been through the required classes to get my own motorcycle endorsement!
Afterward, I was incredulous at my near-mistake. I SAW the bike approaching, but it just didn't register as *a vehicle that I should yield to* even though the rider had right-of-way.

Seems like a good time to test out the Strawberry Basil Smash recipe I'm bringing (found at https://tinyurl.com/2akndn7x):
- 2 ounces gin
- 3/4 ounce orgeat
- 1 ounce lime juice
- 3-5 fresh basil leaves
- 3ish strawberries
- generous barspoon of strawberry jam
- 2 dashes Fee Brothers Rhubarb Bitters
Muddle, shake with ice, strain, pour.
It's good! Might need another test though.

In 13 years of playing organized hockey, The Kid only got in one fight, in Langford, up on Vancouver Island. The official "shake off of the gloves" and everything. He got the best of it, and as soon as the linesmen grabbed them he went turtle, so the other kid got in nothing. The ref could have called a major and game for fighting which was an automatic two game suspension, but I think he was amused. Matching double minors for roughing.

Here is the "shape of the earth" in a gravitational sense. This is the geoid, the gravitational equipotential surface (which defines sea level globally) of the earth.
This is not the topographic shape, it's important to note. The earth's gravity vector is normal to that surface at any point. This is the result of high precision satellite gravimetry, mapping the earth's gravitational field to high precision:

That's also exaggerated to let you see the deviation from spherical easily. The height parameter at the top left controls that.

A passing attempt in a marked no-passing zone on U.S. Highway 12 east of Kooskia ended in a crash that killed three motorcyclists Tuesday afternoon, according to Idaho State Police.
ISP said troopers are investigating the three-fatality collision, which happened at about 4 p.m. Tuesday, June 16, 2026, near milepost 113 on U.S. Highway 12 east of Kooskia.
The preliminary investigation indicates a 2019 Ford F-150 was traveling westbound when the driver attempted to pass another vehicle in a marked no-passing zone. ISP said the pickup crossed the double yellow centerline and collided with three motorcycles traveling eastbound.
ISP said the 60-year-old female driver of the Ford, from Colorado Springs, Colorado, was taken to a local hospital for medical evaluation. After her release, she was arrested and booked into the Idaho County Jail on probable cause for three counts of vehicular manslaughter.

I'll try it out tomorrow! Besides ordinary work, I can't believe how many side projects and home infra jobs I've been able to hand to Claude Code the last few months:
- Working Perseus VM, with scripts to generate vocab lists for any text/author.
- Keeping the raspberry pi sprinkler system in the garage from dropping off the wifi.
- Fixing the xfce dual-monitor wake-up-from-sleep with one hdmi and one dp.
- Diagnosing spontaneous reboots with no logs every 3-10 days.
- Finally adding spamassassin to the domains with self-hosted email.
- Linting the ansible scripts for various systems.
- Diagnosing problems with the old Brother printer.
- Finding ways to extend wifi to the far end of the house.
- Rails polymorphic constraints.
- Upgrading my weight/run time/bp spreadsheet to a Rails app.
- Dike out React from my time tracking app, replaced with a bit of Stimulus.
- More munin graphs.
- Jellyfin server.
- Personal Firefox plugin for pass(1).
- Why did git-crypt stop working in my dotfiles repo?
- OCR+RAG of old database research papers.

To first order, the earth is a sphere. To second, it's an oblate (Maclaurin) spheroid. To third order, it's pear shaped, with the southern hemisphere a little bit fatter than the northern. To higher yet, it's, well, slightly lumpy. But nowhere near as lumpy as the Moon.

Erdogan speaks about wanting to destroy Israel and take control of Jerusalem again.
I think he forgot that 400 years of Ottoman rule are over. Today there is a strong State of Israel.
He should calm down. We will not allow anyone to threaten our existence or our security, and I think we have shown what we are capable of.

Gonzales argued Democrats needed to take a more aggressive approach to opposing President Trump and criticized Hickenlooper's moderate record, including some of his votes in favor of Trump's nominees.
The result marks a setback for the Democratic Party's progressive wing after a string of recent primary victories elsewhere

I'm retired. I get all the days off. DH, not so much.
But, we are scooting down to Kasilof on the 5th through the 10th. Dipnetting some lovely Kasilof Red Salmon, which some of you morons and ettes have tasted. DH fishes, I clean and ice. We go with friends, and then have feasts on shore along with a few libations. It probably doesn't pay out, but oh my, how we love our smoked salmon and our good friends and a good time.
Watching the weir counts and it is looking good for that week.

Exchanging in the French is a classic out for both sides when they don't want test their knowledge of the opening theory. Usually black isn't the one you'd expect to opt out, but 3. ... dxe4 is a solid response to both 3. Nc3 and 3. Nd2 so it allows the black player to comfortably play the French without having to memorize quite as much.

My brother was driving his new HONDA 90 when a woman pulled in front of him. Broadsided he did, flew over the car he did, and cracked his cheap helmet. Thankfully he survived.
I always wrote it off as small scooter. Then just 5 years ago, I was driving, clear crisp morning a woman pulled out in front of me. Broadsided her I did.I was until that second skeptical of airbags. NO MORE. Without airbags and crush zones, I would not be here.
So sorry for your friends.

Lauterbrunnen Valley in the Swiss Alps
Dog hints that it's time for a walk. World Pup shootout. Cat working hard on the farm. Malinois thinks its owner's umbrella is a chew toy. I've heard some call the performance pets put on when they haven't been fed for twenty minutes the Hunger Games. Here a kitten pounces and seizes on an unopened can of cat food, carrying on like a mental patient. This dog must be salty. Kangaroo rush hour. Kitten adopts a jogger.
Space Invaders. Dogs beating the heat. Will you be my friend? Wobbly juvenile giraffe stoops down for water.

When you register to vote in Calif, you are supposed to have some form of ID, which includes things like a Bill... but you can just click past it, and continue, and still get registered.
And note, they do not check if a bill you photocopy onto their website is even valid... could be photoshopped easily.

LOL. Reminded me of a story Dad told about this one particularly ne'er do well guy in his small home town, back in the early 1940s:
Grandma would set pies on the window sill to cool, and occasionally one would "disappear." Usually apple. She discovered that it was always the same guy, and he had no family so it wasn't as if he was trying to provide for children.
She made a special 'apple' pie out of potato slices, along with the usual good-smelling spices, baked it, then set it on the sill and left the house for a while. Sure enough, it got stolen.
Haha, she said no more pies were stolen after that!

Do you want to hear another funny story? Some guy who recovered from being a genuine neo-Nazi punk in East Germany talked about his childhood there.

One of my favorite trips was visiting Lake Lucerne and Mt. Pilatus. They have a tour called the Golden Circle that starts with a boat ride around Lake Lucerne which is beautiful. Busier than that little valley but right at the base of the Alps and lovely.
The ride ends at the base of Mt Pilatus where you take a cog railway to the top of Mt Pilatus. The railway is very steep but there are homes like the one in the photo above and cows grazing on the side of the mountain and crazy Swiss hiking up the mountain.
Big viewing area at the top of the Alps and the lake and a couple restaurants and a hotel. You hop on a gondola and ride back to Lucerne for big ending. Really spectacular views.

Or say, an after school Bible study group. You just have to allow an atheist satan worshipping goat fucker be President, or it’s “discrimination”.
In much the same way, the USA is not allowed to define itself any longer. This is not by accident. “Sovereign” nations have to go, and be subsumed by the globalist borg. We’re watching this play out in real time. 100 years worth now, I suppose.

Setting allowable limits arbitrarily is a time proven method of destroying business and industry, a de facto prohibition or outlawing of any given particular activity. It’s not “illegal” per se, it’s simply that nobody can pencil it out and afford to comply.

Brando was extremely competitive, and in 1968 he appeared at a private party celebrating Oscar nominations in which Paul Newman was in attendance with his wife Joanne Woodward. Brando approached Newman and began a conversation that eventually became very heated, resulting in Brando shouting and Newman walking away. Later that evening Brando stood on a table and challenged Newman to an egg eating contest, like the one Newman was depicted doing in Cool Hand Luke, however Newman ignored the challenge.
Brando, undeterred, had somebody from his entourage bring him dozens of hard boiled eggs, and started the competition without Newman. While eating, he would loudly keep count as he consumed the eggs saying things like "21 Newman! 21 eggs already! I'm better than you Newman!", while mocking and insulting Newman the whole time, and calling him a "phony".
Eventually, Brando consumed 51 eggs before being removed from the party, 1 more than Newman's character did in Cool Hand Luke. As he was being escorted out, he

They also took the 14th Amendment meant specifically for African Americans and turned it into an immigration weapon that automatically confers citizenship on whoever crosses the border.
ACB is perhaps the worst justice to ever serve on the court. She is subverting the constitution at will, along with her fellow traveler, Roberts.
A lot of people have decried the fact they haven’t taken up the 2A bans cases, even as many citizens are irreversibly harmed by the lack of injunctions- which by the way should be a “clue”. I say, I hope this court never takes up a ban case because it will just be another right ACB steals from us.

They've got a circular excuse going... when one excuse is refuted, they'll bring out the next, eventually circling back to the first one. It's the same circular excuse strategy that communists always deploy to excuse the failures of communism.

Meanwhile it's still commonly used here in Alaska.
Calling them all "Inuit" is jug-headed even by woketard standards.
The Inuit live in Canada. Alaska has Inupiat (fairly closely related to the Inuit, but distinct) and Yupik (more distant).
Yupik definitely do not like being called "Inuit". Historically the two groups did not get along.
The languages are related, but not that closely. It's like calling a Spaniard "French" just because they both speak a Romance language (i.e., might even get your ass kicked for that).
Oh, and Alaska's Indian tribes are definitely not Eskimos. Take the historical dislike between Inupiat and Yupik and magnify it by about a hundred.
Where I live there are Eskimos (Chugachigmiut, a Yupik people) on the other side of the Chugach mountain range east of town, in the Prince William Sound drainage. On this side, in the Cook Inlet drainage, it's historically been all Indians (Denaʼina, an Athabascan people).
Why? Because the Denaʼina genocided the Chugachigmiut on this side of the Chugach mountains before Whitey even showed up.

@NYT is still lying about the Laptop From Hell, to excuse the fact they failed to cover the story. This time, the so-called paper of record claims that it was the loathsome Miles Guo who first published material from Hunter Biden's laptop. False. The @nypost first published that material on October 14, 2020. Guo's sleazy G-News subsequently ran material from the laptop - along with faked photos that were not on the laptop. I often wondered if Guo ran the fake photos deliberately to discredit the laptop because he mixed in the same circles as Hunter's Chinese pals and was worried he would be found out.

Katie PavlichThe New York Times freaks out over Republican women having babies while Democrat women abort theirs.
@KatiePavlich Israel is a sovereign country and Palestinians from Gaza or the West Bank have zero right to work in that country - especially after Israelis who lived on the border with Gaza invited Palestinians into their homes to work and break bread. Gaza Palestinians returned the favor by taking notes about where safe rooms were, layouts of the homes, if there were dogs, etc. in plans for their ultimate slaughter, pillaging and rape on October 7. Dozens of Americans were murdered at the NOVA peace festival down the road. So yeah, they're not allowed to work in Israel anymore. Maybe you should be asking the governments of Gaza and the West Bank to foster economies that benefit their people so they don't have to go work in the country next door.
This isn't pregnancy. It's a political plot. A full-blown, unhinged conspiracy orchestrated by the MAGA movement to take over the hearts, minds and uteruses of gestating people all over the nation, one bassinet, one burp, one stretch mark at a time. The New York Times has cracked the code. It's Pulitzer time, baby! In an investigation masquerading as a style piece, the Paper of Record published an unglued commentary, researched with the self-seriousness of Watergate, revealing that a whopping three women connected to the White House are preggers. At the same time! That Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, Katie Miller, the wife of White House deputy chief of staff for policy Stephen Miller and Second Lady Usha Vance should all be on the nest simultaneously isn't just a happy mini baby boom. It is -- according to the Times -- a pernicious "Handmaid's Tale"-style political plot promoting conservative child-making frenzy in an age of declining birthrates and the collapse of the Democratic Party in middle America. It's a cautionary fable, a warning that the dreaded GOP's steady rate of reproduction amid a Democratic baby drought poses a dire threat to the nation. According to the Gray Lady (now Gray Female-Identifying Newspaper) Republicans are planning to win support and ever-greater numbers of adherents by growing their own voters. One infant at a time. It's all laid out in the piece entitled "The Politics and Power of the Pregnancy Image." In it, Times chief fashion critic Vanessa Friedman writes: "That three such prominent women in the MAGA movement were pregnant at pretty much the same time was, indubitably, a coincidence." Or maybe not. "But" -- there's always a "but" -- "for an administration that has such an intuitive and strategic understanding of the power of aesthetics that an unspoken dress code in which men outfit themselves in the image of the president has developed, it has also become a telling one," Friedman froths. "Together, the women have created a notably consistent, and somewhat paradigm-shifting, picture of the White House's family and fertility platform."

Stupid NYT. Do they think they coordinated their ovulation times and nights of romance??
When I was a jr. associate, tin my class of about 20 lawyers (probably 12 women?) there were 4 of us pregnant at the same time, and 3 more pregnant in the class ahead of me. We all were due within 2 months of each other. We lined up for a picture of all of our protruding bellies, which I still have.
When there are more than a few married women between 25 and 39 and in your workforce, the odds of several of them being pregnant at the same time seem pretty high.

New York Magazine
It was widely, almost universally, expected that Donald Trump’s 2025 executive order purporting to abolish “birthright citizenship” would not survive a U.S. Supreme Court review of its constitutionality. Not so expected was that four Supreme Court justices would claim Trump’s action *did* comply with the 14th Amendment despite its clear language that “all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to its jurisdiction, are citizens of the United States.”
But this defeat for Trump isn’t as definitive as the one we expected, writes Ed Kilgore. “As a matter of constitutional law, Trump v. Barbara is a 5-4 decision that hardly closes off the question for all time. Rather than shutting down Trump’s efforts to radically redefine and restrict the meaning of citizenship, the narrow conservative majority at the Supreme Court will likely embolden him and like-minded nativists to keep up the fight.”

The restaurant features a welcoming dining space with wide glass doors for al fresco dining on warmer days. It honors the award-winning former White House culinary team member and beloved personal chef to the Obama family who tragically passed away in 2023.

The first writes in a style that I can only describe as stream of consciousness. The other writes as if she's casually chatting with the reader. Needless to say, I have spilled rivers of red pixels on various pleadings and administrative decisions.
So, no...I think it's entirely probable that Jumanji actually writes this drivel.

“Expert” legal opinion from the rarefied air of academe is in fact responsible in part as to why the U.S.A. is so utterly FUBAR.
I’m not “anti intellectual”; precisely the opposite, in fact. But so many important positions have been hijacked by quacks and grifters and pseudo-intellectuals. It’s a scam, pulled on the citizenry.
“Oh, this is all really complicated and stuff. You didn’t attend Deah Old Hahvahd. Don’t worry, we’ll ‘splain to you what they really meant.”
One slot (at least) should be reserved for normal, decent people. A plumber, or a welder, a dry cleaning business owner, that kind of thing.

Justice Kagan initially hired her in July 2020, but due to conflict-of-interest concerns while her father was serving as U.S. Attorney General, the clerkship was postponed.

Find a conservative woman (easy to find as no tattoos on arms or blue hair and nostril ring), woo her with your kindness, humor and good looks. Marry. And join the political plot. We did our duty and had two sons who vote conservative and married and are Christian.
I wanted one more boy (it would have probably been twin boys) and my husband vetoed due to the c-section potential uterine rupture deal at the time and losing me and the baby.

Generally, I’ve learned that unscrupulous types like to muddy the water, to try and make it look deep.
“This is really complicated. There is no simple solution, blah blah blah.”
The truth is, sometimes things are very simple. It’s just not easy and this especially applies to Politics.
When your local critter is enthusing about how they are fine-tuning the Weather a hundred years from now, you can be sure they aren’t doing fuck-all about roads, crime, sewage, any of the nuts and bolts stuff about good government. Those are indeed difficult tasks, but the one thing they are not is “complicated”.
Consider though, since they cannot handle simple tasks, what are the odds they are going to shine on the truly complex stuff?
Yeah. No chance.

Tafari’s Kitchen: Located inside the Forum building just off the John Lewis Plaza, the Center’s onsite restaurant offers a full menu of casual food inspired by the Obamas’ personal stories, culture, and commitment to healthy eating. The restaurant features a welcoming dining space with wide glass doors for al fresco dining on warmer days. It honors the award-winning former White House culinary team member and beloved personal chef to the Obama family who tragically passed away in 2023. Tafari Campbell was known as a warm, fun-loving, and humble soul who used his immense gifts and passion for food to spread joy and bring people together, and a painting of him by Kate Capshaw will hang in the restaurant.

I wonder from whom Nina got her "scoop"?
My guess -- and that's all that it is -- is that every SCOTUS reporter has that story (and one like it about Thomas) already written and in a folder on their computer. She had it open to add stuff about todays rulings, hit the wrong button and published it by mistake. Of course, nothing like that could ever happen around here. Ace runs a tighter ship than NPR does.

One of the more comical parts of this is the media spent roughly 1970-2000 telling people you didn't have to confirm to a gender stereotype...men can knit and women can do carpentry which is all true.

OUT: Media Propaganda That Democrats Aren't Socialists, Just Liberals
IN: New Media Propaganda That Democrats Aren't Communists, Just Socialists
Given that you lied for 70 years about Democrats' strong affinity for creeping socialism, you don't really have much credibility now that you admit they've been socialists all along but defenitely!!! aren't Slowly Boiling Frogs communists, do you?
Axios:GOP reboots the Red Scare as young Democrats embrace socialism "Red scare." LOL, we're just making it up, huh, Axios? Where do we get these crazy ideas from? Just pure gaslighting.
I have little use for Steve Bannon but he's basically right. Yes, the op goes back that far. "These aren't the communists in the State Department you're looking for." As the communist's left favorite two-step deceit always goes: CLAIM 1: There are no communists in the State Department When Claim 1 falls, go to the back-up: CLAIM 2: Well yes there are communists in the State Department but it's no big deal! You see this two-step all the time. "Of course Democrats aren't grooming kids to be transgender"/"Of course Democrats are encouraging children to find their true sexual selves, as they should!!!"
70 years after the Red Scare and 35 years after the fall of the Soviet Union, President Trump and Republicans are trying to re-introduce a national fear of "godless communists" ahead of the critical midterms. Why it matters: A wave of resounding victories by Democratic Socialists has the GOP trotting out a message that last worked when most of those candidates weren't even born. It's too soon to know if the message is working -- but Trump and Republican strategists see an opening with voters old enough to remember Soviet-era nuclear drills and spy dramas. The big picture: Former Trump aide Steve Bannon has argued for years that former Wisconsin Sen. Joe McCarthy was right about communism's widespread infiltration into the U.S. government.
Well yes, especially now that the would-be Pan-Communist Empire has fused with the Pan-Islamist Empire.
On Sunday, Trump called communism "the Greatest Threat to our Country since World War I, World War II, Pearl Harbor, or 9/11!"
Once a fringe view, now right-wing voices seem to be calling for a McCarthyism revival.In other words: It's so strange that now that Democrats are admitting to being communists, people are once again announcing themselves as communist-opponents!
What they're saying: "It's a common electoral strategy for conservatives to attack liberals, progressives, democratic socialists as communists, and imply therefore that they are much more extreme than they actually are," Kathryn Olmsted, a U.C. Davis distinguished professor of history, tells Axios. But, she adds, "we're definitely reaching a new fever pitch."Keep in mind the media has denied for 70 years that Democrats were socialists. Now that the Democrat Socialists have taken over the Democrat Party, they say of course they're socialists, but that's a good thing!
Reality check: Democratic socialism is not communism. New York's Zohran Mamdani and Washington, D.C., mayoral candidate Janeese Lewis George both call for expanded government programs, Axios' Josephine Walker writes. "Any attempt to smear us as 'extremists' falls flat when so many Americans are struggling with the rising cost of housing, homelessness, unaffordable healthcare, and underfunded schools," a DSA spokesperson told Axios in a statement. Still, Democrats are grappling with what it means for progressives and young Americans embracing labels that once stoked fears of communism. Between the lines: Red-baiting "has much less resonance for a younger generation, which did not grow up living under the shadow of the Soviet Union," says Ethan Porter, co-director of GW's Institute for Data, Democracy and Politics. "For many young voters, communism is just not an effective boogeyman."We know, because they've embraced communism.

I have said here several times that this isn’t a takeover. It’s a rebranding of a Democrap party that’s been secretly socialist for over 50 years. But I’m encouraged that the leftwing media seems scared enough of that rebranding to try to explain it away.
Media wants socialism, for sure, but they’re acting like the country as a whole ain’t ready for it. Like when youre on a date and you pull out your dick too early and you get heismanned. But if you waited a little longer, and romanced the chick a little more, you woulda got lucky.

That was the Second Red Scare.
The First Red Scare was in the early 1900s when Anarachists, and their Communist brethren, were rioting, bombing, assassinating, and creating havoc on a regular basis, which in part lead to the creation of the FBI.
So technically we're now in the Third Red Scare, and what we've come to realize is that it's the Reds doing all the scaring.

They want what hard working people have and have public tantrums with posters created and printed by a capitalist. Then take their body odors, tattoos and pierced noses and blue hair to protest people who worked for a living to reap some rewards before death.
The dead nephew-in-law was like this as well as an atheist. The dinner at my MIL's where we met him he was whining about the above, said he thought the protest against Wall Street was the greatest thing ever and nothing similar (the SIL I love snickered, um summer of '69). Then started whining that people with college degrees should not be managers over him (his dream job of a manager of a call station of Grub Hub came later, his only job we are aware of in shitcago).
My husband, who was sort of high on cough medicine from getting sick on the plane earlier, politely informed him he'd worked hard for everything we have. He's a calm and diplomatic guy who normally would have ignored the eejit spewing at his left.
The little commie flounced to the bathroom. He might have been crying. I almost laughed.

There's still China, but Chinese espionage is widely accepted nowadays. Nobody cares. You are racist if you accuse someone of being a Chinese spy.
Besides, not all US communists are obviously tied to China; however, if there ever is a glasnost in China and their archives open, who knows what we will find. Maybe they finance the majority of US protest movements in some indirect manner. Unlike during the Soviet Union, people don't talk about it, though.

Communism: a theory or system of social organization in which all property is owned by the community and each person contributes and receives according to their ability and needs.
In each, there is an over riding Oligarchy, or Party, which decides who gets access to resources.

Where you wait months or years for a MRI and/or cancer surgery.
Yeah, I want that.
Due to our wicked capitalistic society we have more MRI's in one state in the USA than all of Canada, who has 420. Which is part of the delay but not all of it.
I got a sinus infection or plague on the plane to Scotland once. After climbing the cobblestone Royal Mile, dragging my suitcase after the train, the hotel let the almost dead woman and family check in early (pre-covid).
I was told NOT to go to the ED (I guess you have to bleed for that). Given a private MD I saw the next day and paid out of pocket ($600) for a complete workup and later a z-pack (which you rarely see now). I discovered at the pharmacy you can buy low dose codeine legally (or could), which was nice for me as I hate head pain plus snot. I lay dying for most of one day and recovered.
The next day we went to Stirling. I was staggering along Spittal Street and took a photo of the sign because I was doing a lot of that. Son was irritated with his slow walking corpse mom until HE got walking pneumonia on the plane back to FL.
This was my only experience with the NHS.

The Chinese are pretty methodical in the way they use Birthright citizenship. While most using it from Central and South America will attempt to use it to stay in the country, China will purposefully have the family return (Russia does this too btw but had a bunch get caught back in 2010). Anyway, China will groom the US citizen from childhood and that individual returns to the US in their 20's to secure positions in those industries the China requires information. They've been known to even have some enter the US military upon return to the US.

They are also required to act like Senator Joe McCarthy controlled the House Un-American Activities Committee which predated him by at least a decade, and was mostly run by Democrats, except for 2 years of its existence.
And the HUAC-associated "black list" was really bad despite writers and directors getting work through cut-outs, and was main a reaction to commies in Hollywood trying to prevent patriots from getting jobs in the industry.
You must mix up ALL THOSE THINGS!!
Otherwise, something looks bad for Democrats.

Left: Republicans are saying that water is wet, therefore they are bad people and you must now vote for us and do everything we say.
The Evidence
Left: See! See! Here's proof that Republicans have said water is wet, they are still saying that water is wet, therefore you must now vote for us and do everything we say.

I don't care about oil prices. Oil prices were not the reason for the conflict.
I care about ending the capacity of the mullahs to project force outside their borders, preferably inside as well. According to their media the only lesson they have learned is that they need to have nukes in order to be untouchable.

Gulags? That's socialism.
Public execution of dissidents? That's socialism.
Forced abortions? That's socialism.
Bread lines, shortages, starvation? That's socialism.
What, then, is "commnism"?
Communism is living day-to-day wearing burlap togas on a collective farm with a bunch of glassy0eyed hippies, where there is n money, n familyunit, no personal possessions, no cvilization, no individuality, the words "I" and "me" banished from the language. That's communism.
Socialism is the stage we must g through to get to communism. Socialism is the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the Khmer Rouge, Zimbabwe's forced confiscation of all personal possessions, North Korea, Fidel Castro, mass graves and concentration camps. That's socialism.
Good ol' mild-mannered, not really that bad, socialism.

The thinking by the Judge was that Julius would never allow his wife to be executed, if either had cooperated they could have had their death sentence commuted.
They had kids, none of their friends or family would take them during the incarceration trial period, so they were shuffled off to “social services”.
Maybe they were bluffing, but da Judge called their bluff, and off to ole Sparky they went at Sing Sing.
Judge Kaufman pointed out the damage they did was incalculable. The Korean War was attributed to the fact of atomic espionage on their part, among other things.
I can understand why communism in the 1920s or 1930s gained traction, but there is really no excuse after that. They tied themselves into pretzels after the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact.

We got involved because Israel said "do something or we will", and when we started negotiating Iran told us to screw off because they had just about refined Uranium and they figured they could hold out long enough to pop some nukes.
Everything since then has been arm bending to get them to comply. This is not Ukraine where the EU is feeding funds and weapons to the Ukes to bleed Russia white, Iranians don't have much of a backdoor for supplies and only the Chinese are willing and they don't do resupply on credit.

Claim: Michelle Obama Has Blocked Cheryl Hines From Appearing on Larry David's New Show, Because She's RFKJr.'s Wife
Michelle Obama 'Bans' Cheryl Hines From Appearing in New Larry David HBO Show Over MAGA Links -- Ex-First Lady 'Can Be A B**** on Wheels' Michelle Obama has reportedly banned Cheryl Hines from appearing in a new HBO show she is executive producing over her MAGA links.Obama himself will appear in this mock "historical" series which will, undoubtedly, regurgitate all of the left's invectives about America. Like he just did.
Michelle Obama has banned Cheryl Hines from appearing in a new HBO series honouring America's 250th birthday, according to new claims, RadarOnline.com can reveal. The former First Lady, 62, is an executive producer on Larry David's new seven-episode sketch show, Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness: An Almost History of America, and reportedly used her influence to stop Hines from featuring.
Michelle Obama does not want Hines anywhere near her show, according to reports. Hines, 60, starred alongside David, 78, in the hit comedy Curb Your Enthusiasm; however, their relationship has become strained in recent years due to her relationship with the nation's Health and Human Services secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. ... And her ties to MAGA have resulted in Hines being omitted from the series, with insiders claiming the prospect of her featuring would make Michelle go "absolutely ballistic."
Former President Barack Obama took aim at the Founding Fathers ahead of America's 250th anniversary, saying they held a "deep flaw" for their ties to slavery despite being "geniuses." "I think sometimes we get confused in thinking that these two stories are separate. They're intertwined, right? Which is why it's possible for me to be a great admirer of George Washington, and also acknowledge he was a slaveholder," said Obama in an interview Sunday with MSNOW. The 44th president's appearance comes as most Americans prepare to celebrate the nation's 250th birthday on Saturday with patriotic events across the country, while Obama is using the milestone to deliver a more cautionary message about the state of American democracy.Bonus: I mentioned Jill Biden's very suspicious book sales yesterday. Now the NY Post writes it up.
"That does not negate [Washington's] greatness, it simply acknowledges that there's a profound deep flaw in these Founding Fathers who were also geniuses and gave us these tools," Obama said. "It's that we're this mixed bag, we've got contradictions. And embody the country's contradictions," he added.
Except that Lauren Cobello specializes in bulk purchases of books to artificially boost their initial sales to get them on the best seller list. This is not an objective expert the media is contacting, but an invested, partisan champion of the system itself. As usual.
Former First Lady Jill Biden's memoir had a brief run atop the New York Times bestseller list before tumbling out of the rankings just weeks later -- fueling online speculation that its lofty debut owed more to bulk book orders than to sustained reader demand. "View from the East Wing," which was published by Simon & Schuster's imprint Gallery Books, debuted at No. 1 on the New York Times Hardcover Nonfiction list on June 21 with a dagger (†) symbol indicating that retailers reported some bulk purchases. By the following week, it had slipped to No. 3, and it has since fallen off the list altogether. The sharp drop has sparked claims on social media that the 299-page book reached the top through orchestrated buying campaigns instead of real consumer demand. Former FiveThirtyEight founder Nate Silver was among the most prominent critics, writing on X that the memoir "debuted at #1 on the NYT due to astroturfed bulk orders" before noting that it was "completely" off the list two weeks later and calling such a rapid decline "very rare." Publishing experts caution that the reality is more nuanced. "I don't think there is anything sinister about it," Lauren Cobello, founder and CEO of Leverage with Media PR, told The Post.
This bitch is just spamming out pro-Jill-Biden spin:
"I think it's a strategy, a smart strategy for how people are engaging their network so that they can get more books in the hands of their readers," she said of bulk buying.
Cobello, whose agency specializes in launching bestselling books, said bulk purchases are a routine feature of modern publishing campaigns -- particularly for politicians, celebrities and high-profile authors embarking on national book tours. ... "It's almost impossible to not have bulk orders" for major political figures and celebrities, Cobello said, noting that bookstores hosting large events often place orders for hundreds of books at a time.
Why even contact such a clear partisan as you supposed "outside expert witness"?
She also pushed back on the suggestion that the memoir's rapid decline necessarily signals failure. "It wasn't a complete flop," Cobello said, pointing to its continued appearance on the USA Today bestseller list after it exited the Times rankings. "She definitely had some bulk orders, but I think they were tied to the events that she had."

"I think sometimes we get confused in thinking that these two stories are separate. They're intertwined, right? Which is why it's possible for me to be a great admirer of George Washington, and also acknowledge he was a slaveholder," said Obama in an interview Sunday with MSNOW...
"That does not negate [Washington's] greatness, it simply acknowledges that there's a profound deep flaw in these Founding Fathers who were also geniuses and gave us these tools," Obama said.
Well, how fortunate for you Barack, in that you don't have a deep flaw in an otherwise sterling character. You're all flaw, you bitchy little pissant. Kudos for consistency.

So some interesting history posted at end of Insty ONT this morning.
It seems that many of the small towns in Wyoming (and I guess elsewhere) were just post offices for the temporary camps set up for the rail road workers (often "hackers" who cut trees to make ties, so not just on the main line.) As well as other post offices set up without anyone thinking that the name would become permanent for a town or city.
That is why they often have silly names.
One example was DuBois, legend has it., pronounced doo-boys because it pissed off the politician who named it after himself and would get annoyed when people pronounced his name that way.

Let’s understand how the courts work. They don’t like changing things. They revere precedent.
---
Which as the court insists on reviewing more and more actions of government puts increasingly more government behavior out of the reach of voters, as voters have little if any effect on precedent.
So, we're back to fuck judges--they have disgraced themselves. Because precedent keeps decisions out of the power of the filthy unwashed.
This is elitism. It wouldn't be so bad, if judges weren't trying to make more and more legal precedent so they get this universal review of government behavior.
But, fuck judges.

We've got congressman proposing stuff in response. 1.5 years ago we did not.
Nothing will happen this congress, not with Mitch, Tillis, Cassidy, and Cornyn still around.
But if things go well in November, the next Congress could be much more amenable to trying something.
I have this running theory that there are five senators taking all the flack for 10-20 others in not getting things done. All five are out (except Murkowski) at the end of this Congress. Suddenly, next congress, that cover is gone. More will have to volunteer to be scapegoats (possible) while the rest of the GOP Senate will be less amenable to not getting things done. The other 10-20 are cowards, hence the cover. And there are those in that 10-20 (like Ernst) who are going, too.

Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Barrett do vote on principle; their vote was entirely predictable to anyone familiar with how the courts work.

Note, in English Feudal society, a Peasant owed 1 day a week worth of labor, to his Lord... as 1 day was God's, that meant 1/6 of his labor either in work, or Money.
So, 16.66%. Let's see... 12.4% Social Security... close.
25%- 30% combined state, local, Fed, income tax.
Property tax? ie paying the lord to live on hour land... another 1% or so
Sales Tax? oh... 9% here. then of course Gas Tax.

Because birthright citizenship was taken as a given until recently. I don't think it was discussed in any textbook other than as being axiomatic. It's one of those things like "The New Deal ended the Great Depression" that you were just told is true.
Roberts (and Barrett) seem to think that they need to preserve institutional credibility, as if they can control anything so nebulous. And doubtless Roberts knew that Thomas would wheel out one of his history lesson specials in a dissent. So he went looking for support for what he "knew" was already there. That he had to fall back on feudalism is actually kind of funny. Apparently nothing else less on-the-nose on our 250th birthday would work at all.

So what if the court is acting like the superlegislature the Federalist Papers said would invalidate their reason for being--we're one seat away from reversing all this.... it the Democrats don't win, stack the courts, doing laps with this verdict.
I sorta get where he's coming from. The battle is not completely lost. I just can't agree that the SCOTUS having "seats" and "votes" and invalidating themselves--by the admission in this very opinion piece--it's a recoverable situation.
Because you've accepted the rogue behavior of a branch that continually expands its area of review. And seems in no hurry to reign the overreach of their profession in, just "Hey, guys, knock off the restraining order from one regional judge stuff!"
I never was thinking this is the end. It's a part--perhaps a shadow of the end--but he's trying to talk me out of a funk that I'm not in, and normalizing court expansion (which is happening anyway).

Net out-migration for the first time in decades last year.
The SCOTUS case was a loss, there are ways around it, there's more political will now than before to deal with it, but the overall effort now is towards remigration. At least 2.5 more years of this, and if the cleanup in elections and immigration is as significant as possible, the win from 2024 can look like small beans by 2028.

Just as one could unfortunately be born into slavery.
It also follows, one could be born into a slaveholding family. With me so far?
Now what? You modern sophisticated people say “I would have freed my slaves”
Maybe. Highly doubtful. The first problem, there wasn’t anyplace for them to go. Let’s say you owned 75 slaves on your plantation.
They cost the equivalent of about $50,000 or more per. Democrats would be the last on the planet to do something like that.
Plus, inheritance and bankruptcy law was quite different back then. As the heir to an Estate, you were on the hook for debts. That is not the case today.
They had Debtor’s Prisons. Totally awful. If you think modern or historical Democrats would go to prison and forfeit hundreds of thousands of dollars in “assets” you’re smoking your socks.

Nope, three Supreme Court decisions show how dangerous this becomes.
1. Birth tourist to the US, kid is a citizen.
2. Dual Citizenship Legal by Supreme Court Fiat.
3. All Citizens right to vote, and vote by mail.
So, ChiCom comes here on a Visa and has a kid, goes back to China.
18 years later, Kid, never having lived in the US is still a Dual Citizen with the right to vote. Registers ONLINE because there is no verification process... then changes the address to where they want the ballot sent, in China.
Hell, due to international mail... it does not even look like the Ballot needs to be postmarked by the USPS by election day, but could be done by a foreign post office, and we'd still have to count it due to current law.
Even without other cheating, this takes the control of our elections OUT of the hands of Native Cits.

From above, "Former President Barack Obama took aim at the Founding Fathers ahead of America's 250th anniversary, saying they held a "deep flaw" for their ties to slavery despite being "geniuses."
No surprise. At the minimum, see Philly & the signing of the Declaration of Independence. (In January, the National Park Service removed a prominent slavery exhibit from the President’s House site in Philadelphia. The removal was part of the Trump administration's "Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History" initiative. The city of Philadelphia sued to restore the displays, but a federal appeals court ruled that the administration has the authority to alter the site.) Also, the Smithsonian stirs the pot a lot.
Include a huge offering of the worse programming ever for the 4th of July holiday in Philadelphia and you know exactly how 'some' think and feel.

Clarified the issue and made it a litmus test for new Scotus appointees from the GOP. Case was really a 5-4 decision as Kavanaugh's concurrence for the sixth vote was that Trump did not have that power but Congress could. Most of the bloviating that the court majority did was in fact obiter dicta not necessary to judge whether Trump had the constitutional power. And that is where Roberts and ACB being preening social virtue signalling twats went too far. Like Justice Taney trying to resolve a question forever, Roberts and co joined with the deraged leftist witch coven on the court to misread constitutional history and even British law.

Another Mamdani-Backed Muslim Wins Democrat Primary for State Senator; Claims That "Racism, Capitalism, White Supremacy, and Islamophobia" "Manifested" in 9/11
She excuses terrorists because they come from "colonized lands" and uses Ilhan Omar's formulation that Muslims shouldn't have to apologize for something "a couple of people did" and goes further: she demands apologies for "genocide and slavery" plus reparations before she'll consider offering her own apologies. She's also clearly brain-damaged, as she cannot speak three words without saying "like," "um," or "you know." By the way, Muslims are the most enslaving race in history and are still enslaving people.Muslim Mamdani-backed socialist primary winner suggested America deserved 9/11 in unearthed videoShe won the very blue district she was running in, which means she's running essentially unopposed in November.
Aber Kawas, the daughter of a deported Jordanian national, won the Democratic primary for a deeply blue Queens district Another radical far-left candidate backed by socialist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is under fire after a resurfaced social media clip shows her appearing to suggest that America deserved the September 11, 2001, terror attacks. Aber Kawas is the Muslim daughter of illegal aliens who is now the Democratic nominee for the New York State Senate District 12. Like Mamdani, Kawas is a socialist.
"The system of capitalism and racism and White supremacy... and Islamophobia have all been used to colonize lands, to take resources from other people and so this is a long trajectory, and we're just seeing the manifestations of that continuation with 9/11," she said in a 2017 episode of the Asian American Writers' Association podcast titled "Islamophobia beyond 9/11 with Aber Kawas." She then downplayed the horrific attack.
"The idea we have to apologize for a terror attack that a couple of people did and then there is no apology or reparations for genocides and for slavery... is something I find reprehensible," she said.
... She has also reportedly been affiliated with the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), which has previously been designated as a terrorist organization in some U.S. states and other countries. Her father, Jordanian national Abdelkareem Kawas, came to the United States on a tourist visa in 1989 and never left, according to the New York Post. He was later deported after a conviction for real estate fraud and a prison stint. Kawas made this story central to her campaign and portrayed it on the trail as cruel persecution by immigration authorities of her father.
New York City just elected Aber Kwas to their State Senate.

NYC public schools FY2026 budget is $45 billion (~$35k per student). National K-12 spending exceeds $980 billion annually. US aid to Israel is about $3.8 billion/year.BTW, school enrollment in NYC has plunged since covid and the general enshittification process of communist mayors. And yet the budget for schools zoomed upwards.
Meanwhile, "Islamic scholars" proclaim that America and indeed all Western nations are now under Islamic control and there's nothing you can do about that.

@JoshEakle Setting aside half the misinformation in this post, the Amish are also clearly a community that refuses to assimilate to American society. And yet no one on the right seems to care. Curious.
Tucker Carlson continues feting Russia government operatives as "wise men," including the Russian "Merchant of Death" convicted of selling arms to terrorists (who was let out of prison in exchange for WNBA pothead Briney Griner). Tuq'r is plainly making common cause with communists and Islamists to fight the real enemy, Jewish Capitalism, as Hitler always called it. Dana Loesch writes:
Bonchie
@bonchieredstate "The Amish? The people who have been in America since its founding, produce virtually no crime, consume almost no welfare, and don't demand the country be changed for them?"
Dana Loesch
@DLoesch Tucker thinks he's smart enough to use Islamism as a way to usher in socialism (red/green) but in reality, Islamists are using him as a stooge to spread Islamism.

I have quoted here and other places that this has been known since 1999 when a scholar in the UK said basically this at a joint kumbaya coexist panel (paraphrased because I do not feel like looking for it):
Your country will collapse to islam BECAUSE your own laws of democrazy protect us.
They knew this. They knew people are bleeding hearts. They knew then they could control voting blocs with illegal immigration and no go zones for police.
They are succeeding hiding behind our laws of protection due to their religion and color of their skin.

I did ask the clerk if she was part of a Mennonite community because I was interested in what it was like but she turned red and got quiet so she obviously didn't want to talk so I just paid and ate my food.

"As many of you may know, I fully support the LGBTQIA+ community. But we must also ensure that our female athletes are protected and respected." - MELANIA, #1 NYT Bestseller, (p. 156)
The U.S. Supreme Court has now legally confirmed this opinion:
"Under Title IX and the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, may schools maintain women's and girls' sports for biological females?... The answer is yes."
America, we can support the rights of the LGBTQIA+ community and also protect opportunities for female athletes. Respect everyone and keep girls' sports fair.

As I've been saying, none of these new out-and-proud commies are any different than the old crusty secret commies.
The only difference is the newer generation's open hostility to America and Israel. Gianaris tried to straddle the fence on Israel-Palestine, trying to pander to both sides. But anyone who tries to straddle the fence between Israel and pure evil is really a supporter of evil.
The new generation is openly demonic.

He started out being one of the top communicators to his base, who are a majority of the country in the last election, to having no influence at all in the government, nor the RINO wing, nor with the party base. His trajectory is not looking good.

Irrelevant if they are opposed or not. In inner city districts the D partisanship % is so high already that the D ballot line could literally say "Satan the Eater of Damned Souls" and the nominee would easily win 2/3 of the vote.
The interesting bit is how much traction, if any, Al-Fucka or whatever the hell his name is gets outside of Metro Detroit. These DSA types have almost no ground presence outside their strongholds beyond teachers, and those types are exceptionally lazy.

I would hazard to guess that most inner city districts are so corrupt that it doesn't matter if they are unopposed or not.
Meaning there is no popular representation for any election, only what the corrupt election and party structure deems to have occurred -- up to and including disallowing any unapproved candidate from even being on the ballot.
So of course we get to insult and yell at all the people there for not voting because of course they don't. It makes us feel virtuous, and if the commenters here can feel virtuous then, well, there is no reason to search for a solution, is there.

Why? Muslims are asocial and generally unlikeable. You seem to assume that they just grow at some steady rate without any kind of response whatsoever. One thing they do have in common with the Amish is their insane need to micromanage community life. Why do they both do this? It is not a sign of strength. It is a sign of weakness. they both know their members would leave for ANYTHING other than what they have now if they had the chance.

They have 'power' only because asshole politicians see them as a voting bloc.

In their parents' home countries, these families belonged to the upper echelons of society. They held immense social capital, prestige, and institutional power. When they move to the U.S., that hyper-elite status does not always translate. Regardless of their wealth, they are often grouped into broad American racial or ethnic minority categories. For a first-generation child, growing up with the awareness that their family is royalty back home, but viewing themselves as just another minority group in America, can breed deep resentment toward the American social hierarchy.
What might look like visceral "hate" is often the adoption of high-level academic cynicism. They are trained to dissect the flaws of Western capitalism and American foreign policy, which manifests as a vocal, hyper-critical stance against the very country they live in.
Their wealth gives them the luxury of global mobility, but their professional networks, corporate ties, and asset structures are deeply embedded in Western institutions. Returning to a developing nation—even one where their

While they may visit on vacations, these children are culturally American. They speak with American accents, think through a Western lens, and lack the hyper-localized cultural nuances required to navigate the business or political landscapes of their parents' native countries.
If they return to "fix" things, they are often viewed by the locals as arrogant, entitled American outsiders trying to dictate terms. They don't have the grassroots credibility to enact change.
And so "ours" too - the Barack Obamas, AOCs, Ro Khannas and so many others, like as Nan, Bernie, and Liz, who help create an arrogant, self-absorbed and potentially violent political landscape.

AND, Amish in PA know what Amish in Ohio, and many other communities are facing at any given time. They are not isolated by any fashion. They hold a lot of conservative values, are pacifists, and for the most part reflect a community that doesn't want government intervention.

And that goes over really well with 'infidels', so much so the notorious permissive Scandinavians try to ban them.
The first and most obvious solution to the problem of Islam is simply to broadcast their message more adequately. The video clips posted above are good. Websites that directly quote hadith and sunnah are very helpful as well.
The idea that Islam just naturally takes over places is nonsense. Even in full military and political control it took them centuries to convert Egypt and even Nubia (now the hellhole known as Sudan). The stage where Muslims become more visible and impossible to ignore is actually a good one, if you want people to confront them.

The TV shows are fake, and rumpispringa is basically the Amish version of Muslim rape gangs, just without the violence. An Amish person can "sow their wild oats" before a certain point. But that isn't really an out. It's akin to a Muslim not committing rape as long as it's one of those short-skirted non-Muslim women.
The social pressures for Amish to stay Amish are very strong. It's entirely akin to living in a Muslim neighborhood, with the difference that I don't think the Amish throw acid on your face. But ostracism keeps almost anyone from leaving. If you'd prefer I compare the Amish to Scientology, that would work too.

Interestingly, I had a colleague who rose to become my boss' boss. He came from Ghana, where his family was LITERAL royalty; he was the hereditary king of a tribal nation there ... and you never met anyone who understood and appreciated the American Way more. He acted as a sort of volunteer consul for Ghanaians in our city, helping them learn our exotic ways. And he saved my career on more than one occasion by refusing to entertain bitchy accusations of racism by spoiled "African Americans."

Duh. Like people living in an Amish community aren't going to think that it's a good idea?
They're given the opportunity to live with the "English" and they can choose whether or not to return.
I heard about rumpispringa long before the TV show, and watched a little bit of the show just to see some of the details.
You're really stuck on making the Amish the equivalent to the Muzzies, aren't you?

Setting aside half the misinformation in this post, the Amish are also clearly a community that refuses to assimilate to American society.
And yet no one on the right seems to care. Curious.
I can't quote it exactly so I'll paraphrase: this falls under how discourse with the Left is impossible because they pretend not to understand things. It's just a tactic. I despise them for it.

It could be argued you have it *backwards*. The Globalists are the enemy--Islam is must one of many tools they are using in an attempt to destroy individualism.

Last I saw, replacing McConnell would be with a special election. The state constitution had said the governor would pick from a list of names provided by the Republican Party. The governor said, nah... it's unconstitutional or something. So the state legislature passed a bill to make replacing a member of Congress who dies, or is ejected, done by a special election.

Yes. Eight years from the 1st localized bombing to the 2nd, both centered on the NY - DC corridor, aka the Northeast Megalopolis.
Each caused death and destruction. First some, the second massive but how real change and much broader control of the nation be effected without bringing down the infrastructure and having a huge internal war?
Take over NYC, one of the financial capitals of the world. (The other is London and it, too, is falling.) And take the seat of U.S. government, and epicenter of American political power and international diplomacy.
More of an Art of War "invasion" vs. a contemporary military invasion. And that's exactly what's been going on for decades. But thanks to Trump, and thanks to the possibility of a Trump-like successor, there's no option but to become visible.

Supreme Court Upholds Ban on Boys in Girls Sports
SO CLOSE TO PRIDE MONTH?!!? SO CLOSE TO PRIDE MONTH?!!!
The holding is 6-3, but the three liberals joined with parts of it so parts of it are actually unanimous. Coney-Barrett and Roberts joined the conservatives in this one because this case is about protecting Muh Feminism. Remember, even super-feminist JK Rowling is on the right side of this issue. Note the decision is about state bans on men in girls' sports. It's not about Trump's executive order to deny funds to states that allow men to beat up girls in sports. And it doesn't ban men from girls' sports, just upholds states' rights to ban men from girls' sports.Fox News
@FoxNews
BREAKING: The Supreme Court just handed states a major victory in one of the country's most closely watched culture battles: protecting girls' and women's sports. In a 6-3 ruling along ideological lines, the court upheld laws in Idaho and West Virginia banning transgender students from competing in women's and girls' school sports. Justice Brett Kavanaugh writing in his opinion, "The term 'sex' in Title IX... cannot plausibly be interpreted to refer to anything other than biological sex... The Court concludes that separate sports teams for biological males and biological females are reasonable given the inherent physical differences between the sexes."
What does this virtue signaling have to do with the actual issue here? Their words -- dicta, it's called, judicial ramblings with no actual precedential power -- will be used by liberal courts to justify the overturning of restrictions on transgenders in bathrooms and the like, claiming that this decision stands for the proposition that transgenders must not be "ostracized or vilified."
The Supreme Court upheld state-level bans on transgender competitors playing girls' sports in Idaho and West Virginia in a landmark decision with major implications for more than half the country where similar policies are in place. In a 6-3 opinion, in which the liberal justices concurred and dissented in part, the high court determined that neither state had violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment by enacting the bans. But the majority opinion also underscored the importance of treating transgender athletes with respect. "Most of the biological female and transgender student-athletes who are involved in transgender sports disputes around the country are teenagers or in their early twenties," Republican appointed Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote in the majority opinion.
"Those student athletes want to play sports. Their desire to compete warrants respect. No student-athlete on either side of the issue, whether a biological female or transgender, deserves to be ostracized or vilified."
Via Ed Morrissey: the key part of the decision.
Two transgender athletes waged similar challenges against the bans, arguing that they flouted equal protection rights under the 14th Amendment and statutory law prohibiting discrimination. ...
The decision in the cases, Little v. Hecox and West Virginia v. B. P. J., marks the first time the Supreme Court has dealt with the fraught culture war issue of transgender competition in girls' sports.
In assessing the reasonableness of the regulations, we also must recognize the distinctiveness of competitive sports--and the safety and competitive fairness issues that can arise when females are forced to compete against males. With respect to safety, allowing biological males to play on women's and girls' sports teams can put women and girls at significant risk of injuries. The safety risks are particularly severe in contact sports. And as to competitive fairness, allowing biological males to play on women's and girls' sports teams can put female athletes at a serious disadvantage. That is because sports are generally zero sum. Allowing a biological male athlete to compete on a girls' team necessarily displaces or disadvantages a female athlete--replacing her on the roster, knocking her out of the starting lineup, reducing her playing time, depriving her of a medal, and the like. That hard reality of sports cannot be ignored or swept under the rug. On the contrary, that reality must and does inform interpretation of the term "reasonable" in the Javits Amendment. Whether biological males may participate on women's and girls' sports teams may be a debated policy question. But the legal question for Title IX purposes is whether West Virginia may limit women's and girls' sports teams to biological females. As a matter of text and history, West Virginia may do so.Apparently the three liberals (excluding Coney-Barrett and Roberts) agreed that Title IX plainly speaks of "sex" and not "gender expression" so Title IX cannot be claimed to grant rights to men to beat up girls in sports. But they did find that the Equal Protection Clause just might!

The illegal inflow is done and has been for more than a year.
Now, it's just the deportation machine (biggest in history before OBBB reinforcements amounting to $150 billion plus the new $70 billion from the recent shutdown win), kicking out everyone here and then building more walls around legal immigration.
Every visa class is down double digits from students to H1-Bs. Trump has travel bans in place for more than 30 countries already and limitations on another 70.
Hawaii v Trump asserted that the president has full authority over immigration. And Trump has been using that authority since January of last year. And the court system has backed him up on everything except the birthright citizenship case.

Birth Certs are given by the Hospital, and then immediately put into a State or County data base, who then has the duty to maintain those records.
And beyond a cursory series of questions about maiden names and such, there is no check at all about getting a birth cert.... had to do it for Mom when she was 80 to get Real ID.

They changed that in Tranny Wave #2.
The camel's nose used to say "Sex is different from gender. Male and female are sexes. Man and woman are genders."
So there could be "transwomen" but no "transfemales". You can't change your sex.
Wave #1 was arguably more observant of biology. But still argued that you can have your own personal social construction with millennia of vetting. That's where the dumb part came in.

When I was growing up, any male who tried to worm his way into female sports (or the locker room) would have been forcibly ejected. “Get outta here!”.
It couldn’t have been any kind of natural progression or grass-roots thing. Transexuals and crossdressers were a fairly obscure subset. Then, all of a sudden, seemingly overnight it was trannies this, trannies that, trannies everywhere. This is an engineered phenom.
Most disturbing is the medical and science industry professing to not understand basic genetics, psychiatry doing a 180 and the rest of it. Sick beyond word, grooming children. Early molestation is a proven method of screwing over personalities. Termed “trauma based conditioning”.

The core of progressive ideology is that they are god. There is no GOD to them. To them your rights do not come from God, they come from government. So the government can grant, take away, or change them. Ultimately, they deny God every chance they get, because they deny reality. They want to live in a world of their own creation - not God's creation. They are attempting to erect a fantasy construct. Their attempts to control everything, including others who do not agree with them is ultimately not just futile, but also destructively dangerous. It is a wildly neurotic dysfunction (to psychologize it). To use classical terms, they are demonically oppressed, at least.

When I was growing up, any male who tried to worm his way into female sports (or the locker room) would have been forcibly ejected. “Get outta here!”.
It couldn’t have been any kind of natural progression or grass-roots thing. Transexuals and crossdressers were a fairly obscure subset. Then, all of a sudden, seemingly overnight it was trannies this, trannies that, trannies everywhere. This is an engineered phenom.
Most disturbing is the medical and science industry professing to not understand basic genetics, psychiatry doing a 180 and the rest of it. Sick beyond word, grooming children. Early molestation is a proven method of screwing over personalities. Termed “trauma based conditioning”.

It’s mumbo-jumbo quackery. It used to be quite difficult to be admitted to most if not all colleges and universities. Merely having the scratch was not enough.
You’ll get accused of being “anti intellectual “ but this is a false choice. They are largely imposters, without particular aptitude or experience or demonstrated competence in a given field.
Meritocracy is hated with the passion of a thousand burning suns. Ultimately installing incompetent, unqualified individuals into leadership roles or positions of great responsibility is kind of a kink, consequently.
I did not have this on my radar growing up. I watched with disbelief in some areas of academia, but was naive in the extreme. “Well there’s no way these nutbars will have anything to do in the hard sciences, mathematics, engineering, chemistry, etc. They’d never in a million years allow that sort of nonsense.”

Mobs killing local warlords has its uses.

Iran's GDP has collapsed in half in the last 4 months. It can't import anything anymore even with the MOU because no one wants to port at Bandar Abbas because the IRGC keeps firing on people and has actually stolen the goods from 3 vessels in the last couple of months.

Trump's ability to kill entire visa classes is limited. Certain classes are statutorially outlined and the administration is under the obligation to issue in certain cases (spousal visas, for instance).
Still, his administration is limiting as much as possible. 50% as many green cards issued in the last fiscal year than the previous year under Biden.

Oh yeah. This is the base premise lie of all time -- that you are assigned a sex a birth. Its not like its a diagnosis. Its a recognition of a pre existing fact. You have a cock and balls, or a cooter. Your eyes a blue or brown. Your hair blonde. Those things weren't assigned at birth by your doctor or your parents. Those things, exist, in fact, just like your genitalia. Its not just a name like Bob or Mindy, Queef. FFS.

What is the average number of jobs the US economy should add in a year if the population is actually declining?
We're used to 150,000-250,000 being added every month as a sign of a healthy economy, but that's in the context of population growth.
What's a marker of a healthy jobs economy in a country where the population is actually decreasing in raw numbers?

I just realized I missed those "Enhanced Games" they held in Vegas. You could slop down as many steroids and other drugs as you see fit, then bench press a pick-up truck. I wanted to see some no-holds barred competition.

It turned out that in most cases the Enhanced peeps weren't better and did not break actual records. Or our regular athletes are already cheating.

Ketanji Brown Jackson: "A transgender woman penalized for being perceived as aggressive has experienced discrimination "on the basis of sex" just as much as a cisgender woman has, no matter that the transgender woman's behavior matches expectations of her sex assigned at birth."
You saying you couldn't say what a woman was during your confirmation hearing should've gotten you laughed off the planet instead being confirmed as an SC Justice.
That is the most embarrassing moment in US Judicial history, hands down.
You're a f*cking clown, wrapped in an enigma, surrounded by a third chromosome.

Girls invaded the boys’ spaces first. Remember when Condi Rice was finally allowed to join Augusta?
I think men deserve men’s spaces without women.

The biggest disconnect is: It's not assigned.
Your DNA is your build instructions. There is no you without your DNA. Sex is part of your build instructions.
Anything else is colloquial-ludditism.
It's like Dawkins theory of "memes", he said something like "as a gene leaps from body to body, a meme jumps from brain to brain".
It was one of the most incompetent phrasings I've seen. There IS NO "body" to leap to before the combination of DNA makes it.
Yes, credentialed scientist (Zoology) can make luddite-ish models.

I believe it's a two way street. Men can have men spaces just as women can have women spaces.

And that's enough to disqualify her for a seat on the US Supreme Court. But the Senate is infested with pompous nitwits who view their own seat as a fief and estate. So they'll vote for anyone if that vote will ensure another six years of the good life.

This is just one more step to disallowing fine men like Scott Weiner to rape young boys, which he must be allowed to do! To ban raping of young boys is homophobic. Men should be allowed to rape young boys in the ass, why is there such a fuss about it?
What, are people secretly in the closet about raping young boys in the ass or something?

I've watched a LOT of older kids comedy shows, mainly because they didn't piss me off. While they were always big on girlllll power, I don't recall storylines where girls had to play on boys teams.
There were plots where the boys had teams and the girls didn't but not plots where a girl had to play on a guys team. That was always an adult comedy plot....

That's why I said yesterday, the Court is free to disgrace itself and its "profession".
I think Dred Scott was worse, actually. Taney emptied the whole outhouse for that one. And created a court-amplifying "substantive due process" to boot!
It used to be, as Judge Bork explained, that the people had a role in "due process", it meant decided by whatever process these things are decided.
Then the court decided that it has to have a cut in everything. So "substantive due process" is that almost everything has to be reviewed by a court, using lawyer logic and judge precedent, which the People have remote influence on.

I think the grossest example of trans crapola, other than them winning races with great pride, is a story I read about last month. Wrestling. Where the transcretin monster fingered a girl through her uniform in a hold and got away with it.
As I keep saying, my father would have done their gender surgery for free.

I concur, but there is grant money going out there so that diplomaed academics can peer review shit that bootstraps their concepts into "Science".
Remember the whole "skin-suit wearing" thing.
And then they'll use their leverage in whatever institutions they get into to crowd out the true Scientific understanding of sex.
There are colloquial "realities" that crowd out rigorous understanding. For example, I cited Dawkins "meme theory" above. Most people think a "meme" is a picture with words, and very few know that it was a quasi-sciency notion that Dawkins shat out.

I would agree. For a shop or fast food clerk, she is probably ok with her iq, but not at the Supreme Court. She has been promoted beyond her competence and to make matters worse, this sort of person will purposefully hire mediocrities worse than her as clerks so as to not be shown up.
