When You Decide Not to Report a Rape Because You Agree With Your Rapist's Politics, Congratulations, You Are Now Officially a Cultist
SensurroundPlatner is still holding on.
@ShamashAran My own deeply felt schadenfreude aside, why shouldn't Platner dig in? Micky Kaus pointed out that Platner "has the leverage. All he has to do to screw the Dem party is... nothing." And my RedState colleague Bonchie described the Left's "nuclear levels of cope" over their rapey Nazi: "He's a mentally disturbed do-nothing who works for his mom. He doesn't care about the party. Why would he? And there is no mechanism to forcibly remove him." ... Make no mistake. Democrats are the whores in the Platner story, willing to overlook a Nazi tattoo, anger management issues, credible rape allegations, public airing of sex fetishes, admissions to joining the military just so he could kill people, and more. All because they thought they finally had a workingman candidate who could beat Collins. Now Platner is haggling over the price of his withdrawal, and he has until Sunday night to bleed his party nearly dry. I have now read this highlighted sentence seventeen times because I assumed I wan't actually reading what was written. Surely my eyes didn't actually read this. Maybe someone accidentally pasted in dialogue from "The Onion." back when it was funny. But no. She is saying that she delayed reporting a rape because she agreed with the accused, politically. This is one of those moments where, if your IQ is over 85, your brain quietly excuses itself from the room. We have apparently reached a point where politics has become the emotional-support animal for basic human survival instincts. "Yes, this person committed one of the worst crimes imaginable against me, but we both liked the same tax policy. Awkward." If your political identity has become so central that it can outweigh reporting your own rape, congratulations: you hve joined a cult. Cults are famous for making people subordinate reality, morality, and self-preservation to the interests of the group. I hate cults. I hate them a lot. They don't ask you to ignore facts all at once: they ask for one tiny compromise after another until one day you discover you're explaining away things that should be absolutely indefensible. What's sad isnt just that people end up there. It's that many of them don't even realize it. They sincerely believe they're making a principled decision when, from the outside, everyone else is wondering why the obvious isn't obvious anymore. At least religious cults usually promise enlightenment, salvation, eternal life, or an alien spaceship hiding behind a comet. Political cults dont even offer that. They ask you to sacrifice your judgment, your relationships, sometimes even your own well-being in exchange for cable-news talking points, in favor of a politician who will sell you out for a pack of gum. That's a spectacularly bad trade. At some point, "my team" has to lose to "the person who committed a violent felony against me." That's not supposed to be a close game.

Ed Morrissey writes that Maine Democrats are wondering who foisted this Nazi Communist Rapist on the Democrat Party.
Platner and his team are using their leverage to force the Maine Democratic Party to allow him to hand-pick his successor, as the New York Post reported yesterday based on anonymous sourcing. The Maine Democratic Party confirmed it last night in a video statement from its executive director. In a declaration drenched in irony, Devon Murphy-Anderson pledged "integrity" in the process to dump the violent Nazi-tatted Kik creeper its voters elected. She then huffed about how Platner was forcing himself on the party's processes, apparently clueless to the parallels that created the crisis:Why does the Nazi Communist we elected to be our candidate knowing he was a Nazi Communist believe he has any power to determine who the candidate is?! Who's responsible for electing this Nazi Communist?! Democrats are doing everything to find out who drove this Hot Dog Car through the window!
She added: "The integrity of this process is just as important as the outcome, and we are committed to ensuring that Democrats across our state can have confidence in both." As Murphy-Anderson went on, she accused Platner's team of "repeatedly" reaching out to them "in an attempt to put their thumb on the scale" to influence what the process looks like. "We have repeatedly reiterated to Graham Platner's team that they have no role in determining our next Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate, nor in determining what this process looks like," she noted. "We have also reiterated that Graham Platner must drop out of this race so that Democrats in Maine can focus on defeating Susan Collins this November."
Platner, forcing himself on unwilling partners? Gee, what a shock! Unfortunately for Maine Democrats, Platner has all the leverage in this situation, as I explained yesterday and David will discuss next. Maine does not allow a political party to remove a nominee once he or she has won the primary. The only way that Murphy-Anderson and her organization can have a "process," let alone one with "integrity," is for Platner to voluntarily withdraw before the July 13 deadline. Maine Democrats had months to get Platner out of the primary after the news of his Nazi SS Totenkopf tattoo went public in October, along with his posts on Reddit and other platforms suggesting that women bore responsibility for being raped.
At which point the resanitization begins. Again. Consider it like the routine pumping out of a portapotty. https://t.co/ffFnjUI0NE

Bravo Sen. Fetterman for saying this. Bernie Sanders has a long track record of endorsing dirtbags:
— Steve Guest (@SteveGuest) July 7, 2026
Graham Platner: rapist & Nazi Hamas supporter
Abdul El-Sayed: terror supporter
Adam Hamawy: literal terrorist
Melat Kiros: terror supporter
Andrew Gillum: crystal meth &… https://t.co/rBlLQDZyw2
Sen. John Fetterman is not feeling the Bern. The Pennsylvania Democrat torched socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) Monday night for promoting disgraced Maine Senate hopeful Graham Platner despite clear signs that he was a "predator." "I would really call Bernie Sanders to apologize for pushing this kind of predator more than anyone," Fetterman told Fox News' "The Ingraham Angle" hours after former Platner girlfriend Jenny Racicot claimed that he broke into her home and raped her in 2021. Fetterman specified that Sanders should "apologize to the victims, especially the woman that -- she claimed that he raped her."Lumpy Jack doesn't play.
"I don't know why you want to keep pushing these kinds of people," he added of Sanders. "Maybe he should consider [sitting] a few out and stop pushing these kind of communists." "I know Democrats that have, you know, back-to-back endorsed and got all in on [disgraced former Rep. Eric] Swalwell and were on the Platner train as well, too," Fetterman went on. "So, maybe stop, you know, getting [in] bed with absolute dirt bags, someone like Platner." Sanders had been among Platner's earliest backers, endorsing him in August of last year, shortly after Platner launched what appeared to be a long shot campaign.
As of Tuesday morning, Sanders had yet to join other Democrats -- including his fellow progressive Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) -- in rescinding his endorsement. His office did not immediately respond to a request for comment by The Post. "I'm sure he's not a saint," Sanders told CNN last month after another former girlfriend, Lyndsey Fifield, accused Platner of physical abuse. "He went through some very bloody and horrible situations," Sanders went on. "He has acknowledged that he came back with PTSD. He's had his share of problems."

"With Graham Platner, Democrats Got Drunk on the Beer Test
BY JONATHAN CHAIT
Last September, the progressive strategist Morris Katz confessed to The New Yorker that the process by which he decided that Graham Platner was qualified to run for U.S. Senate required less time than drinking a cup of coffee. Actually, it seems to have been less a confession than a boast. “Within a few minutes of talking to him, I was, like, ‘This guy owes it to the country to run for Senate,’” Katz recalled.
In the 10 months that have followed, a procession of unflattering stories have made clear how dreadfully irresponsible it was for Democrats to entrust the task of flipping what seems like the most necessary seat to secure their potential Senate majority to a man who had never run for office or led an organization of any size.
...There is no longer much question as to whether Platner is suitable for public office, and even less question as to whether plucking him from political obscurity made any sense. A more pertinent question is: What could possibly drive a professional political strategist to support such a rapid promotion in mere minutes?"

He can't. Maine polling has been double-digit points inaccurate in the Dems' favor against Susan Collins since Helen Thomas was born. The fact that the Dems turned on him means their internal numbers are catastrophic.

Plan A was Janet Mills. That's why Schumer recruited her personally.
The DSA just flexed their muscles and recruited Platner instead, and his combination of brain-dead oligarchy talk, Nazi tattoo, and sexual assault allegations were just what Democrat voters actually wanted.

In the general election Republicans are going to play the "democrats hate democracy" card if and when they replace him, since he won the primary.
the party is trying to figure out how best to play this given the backlash with Harris. I'm betting the other primary candidates are all making their cases.
It's gotta be Troy Jackson. My understanding is he polled just behind Platner and shares most of the same policies, so it'd be sort of a runner-up situation. I think that's the only chance they have at selling someone to voters
Maine had an election. Second place was Janet Mills. First place dropped out. Seems obvious Mills should be it right? The voters spoke.
The irony is Collins gets a pass having voted to confirm an accused sexual assaulter in Kavanaugh and RFK and usually votes with an adhjucated rapist and accused pedophile in Trump.
When they say both parties are the same, point to Platner and Cuomo getting dumped by the party while Trump is still their Dear Leader.

Bob Dole would often tell a story of his journey into politics.
It goes that he was in WWII and sustained a head injury and then went into politics.
John Fetterman was PA Lt-Governor, ran for Senate, sustain brain damage due to stroke and then began to see politics clearly.

"Meanwhile, Platner has another option. Some have pointed out that the prediction markets have it 98-1 that he will resign from the Democratic ticket. That means that all Platner has to do is wager everything he owns on his own staying in the race, and then do so. He will go down to a humiliating defeat, but become a wealthy man."

Platner can see how the Democrat Party has treated Biden in the aftermath of his forced stepping down in 2024.
He can't raise money for his presidential library, and the party essentially acts like his presidency didn't happen in messaging.
What promise could the party make to Platner that he'd believe in the aftermath of their treatment of Biden? Especially if the DSA that backs Platner and orchestrated his rise isn't going to back off from support of him and is the rising force within the party anyway?

He can't raise money for his presidential library, and the party essentially acts like his presidency didn't happen in messaging.
What promise could the party make to Platner that he'd believe in the aftermath of their treatment of Biden? Especially if the DSA that backs Platner and orchestrated his rise isn't going to back off from support of him and is the rising force within the party anyway?

There are a couple of jaw-dropping documentaries about the Burning Man festival in Nevada, focusing on the "medical teams" that cover up the frequent rapes and sex assaults that happen there every year. They have staff training sessions on how to keep the police out. Then there are hours of video of the commie feminist enforcers doing everything possible to keep the police away from the victim while simultaneously brainwashing her to not report the rape. Meanwhile, the rapists are free to continue raping-- in fact, they know ahead of time that they will be protected like this, which is why they are all drawn to Burning Man in the first place. It has essentially became a "Free Rape Zone."
The Democrats are trying to make all of America a Free Rape Zone.

Trump Renews Strikes on Iran After Iran Attacks Three Tankers in the Strait; Announces the Ceasefire Is Over, and He's Not Interested in Talking Any Further to Iranian "Scum"
Of course I understand why Trump wants a "deal" -- the midterms are approaching and the never-ending pseudowar with Iran hurts the economy and his chances.
Also, the war with Iran can be postponed and rescheduled for a more convenient time. The midterms can't be. But here's the trouble, as I've said over and over: Iran knows Trump is desperate for a "deal" -- pathetically desperate, I'd say -- and so they believe he will ignore any and all the violations of the "deal" they never really agreed to. And barely even pretended to agree to. In other words, they are counting on Trump to just let them go back to war with the world, as long as he can pretend to the public he's got a "deal." Well, Trump was downplaying Iran's serious, serial violations of the fake "deal." But then they want too far, and attacked ships again, and Trump could no longer cover up for them. He could not longer pretend he had a "deal."Iran flouted the MOU -- the memorandum of understanding that the ceasefire is predicated upon-- from the beginning. They were to keep the strait open, and stop extorting "tolls" from ships passing through. (Which they immediately used to buy weapons.) Trump and the allies attempted to softly tiptoe around Iran's clear violation of the terms of the ceasefire by creating a safe route through the strait without paying the illegal "tolls." Iran shot up three ships using this route, determined to force them into paying "tolls," and absolutely violating the most basic provisions of the MOU.
Amit Segal
@AmitSegal It seems we'll have to slip a page and a half into Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei's coffin on its funeral procession, after Trump declared in a press conference this morning that, in his opinion, "the memorandum of understanding...is dead." RIP. It was only 21 days old. The causes of death of the two are the same: Iranian hubris. The supreme leader believed the Israeli and American threats were empty and was buried, and his successor believed the U.S. was so desperate that the MoU could survive Iran's numerous violations. Until they pushed too far. The fatal sequence began on Monday, when Iranian missiles struck two tankers--one carrying Qatari gas off the Omani coast, the other a Saudi-flagged oil carrier inside the Strait of Hormuz itself. On Tuesday, a drone went after a third. The vessels' offense: transiting the strait without Tehran's blessing. The U.S. answered last night, first revoking the waiver that allowed Iranian oil to be sold around the world, then striking more than 70 military targets around the strait. By this morning, Iran's armed forces claimed to have hit 85 U.S. military sites in Bahrain and Kuwait. Despite the dramatic declaration, don't expect the status quo to change significantly. The midterms have not been rescheduled, the global economy has not outgrown the strait, and Trump does not believe returning to war will net him the results he wants in the time he wants it. The statement was less a policy shift than a confirmation that the contemporary Middle East is defined by a single word: uncertainty. It joins a long list of such confirmations--the sudden end of the war, the sudden announcement of the MoU, the sudden outbreak of the war in the first place. Even as I write this, a miraculous resurrection of the agreement is only one Truth Social post away. One can hardly stay aloof while watching the fate of a region swing this violently, but at this point, "surprise" is no longer the accurate word. As far as I'm concerned, this is a return to April's status quo: no peace and no war. For Israel, that is the second-favorite position on the board--the favorite, a war actively grinding the regime down, is over for now. But a pause is not a rewind. With the oil waiver revoked and the sanctions back on, Tehran is frozen in its beaten position, with no hope of unfrozen assets bridging its fatal liquidity gap. Jerusalem can wait, hoping the regime buckles under its own internal pressures. And while it waits, it can keep dismembering the proxies, whose patron is in no condition to come to their aid. As for the strait, during the war, Iran set up a toll booth. In response, the Gulf states and the Americans quietly paved a bypass, routing traffic along the Omani side of the waterway and slipping millions of barrels of oil past the barrier. If the diplomacy is dead, expect the U.S. to double down on the Omani lane--and Iran to do everything it can to force traffic back through the booth. This week, Iranian media reported that the UAE had proposed a plan to the International Maritime Organization to manage the strait--a plan backed by eight unnamed Emirati "allies" and promptly rejected by Tehran, which claimed it lacked "legal basis" and exceeded the IMO Council's technical mandate. No details of the plan have surfaced, and no regional or Western outlet has confirmed it exists. But the same regime-affiliated outlets followed up with a statement from an "informed" source: all transit through the strait must be in accordance with Iranian arrangements. Tehran has likewise objected to a recent Omani proposal under which shipping companies would voluntarily pay fees to use the strait. Now that Iran no longer has to pretend to abide by the MoU, expect no more empty overtures toward joint management. Expect declarations to the effect that sailing the strait will be like driving through Tehran: on Iranian roads, under Iranian rules. The U.S. will respond to this morning's attacks, but Iran priced that in the moment it launched. This isn't brinkmanship built on a bet that Washington won't shoot back. It's Tehran's strategy from the war: pit America's economic tolerance against Iran's pain tolerance, and wait for Washington to conclude that paying the toll is cheaper than the drama of collecting it. To Tehran's credit, that bet has paid off before, but this time they may have overplayed their hand.

Raylan GivensI imagine Trump will announce a new "deal" within 24 hours. He's making himself look absolutely ridiculous. If that sounds absurd-- well, he just reconciled with... Michael Cohen. Ed Morrissey:
@JewishWarrior13 2h ⭕ I can't overstate the strategic damage the Iran MOU caused the US. The sentiment in Israel and the region is very low trust in the US; they believe Trump will change his mind again, and they will not run to stand with the US after paying a high price during the war. Saudi Arabia will still get closer to Iran, and others will look for deals with Iran too. They no longer perceive the US as the strong partner that they can rely on. This flip-flopping needs to end; otherwise, it will get worse from here.
Trump also threatened to capture Kharg Island, and said that Iran wouldn't be able to prevent it. That would effectively seize their entire oil-export system, and Trump has been talking about that strategy for nearly 40 years. That would require boots on the ground, of course, and that would create even more complications here at home for Trump. Is this a pose for leverage, or has Trump decided that talks with "cuckoo" terrorists are truly a waste of time? I'm not sure which way to bet.As I've said from the beginning: You just can't win a war without a ground component. Airpower theorists have been promising a Victory from the Skies since World War Two and they still cannot deliver. Trump -- and most Republicans -- are confused on their foreign policy imperatives. Do you want peace at almost any price, and do you want a guarantee of "no boots on the ground, ever"? Okay, that's possible. But do you also want to use American might to punish and knock out hostile foreign terror-states? That's also possible. But you can't have both of these things at the same time. You can't have minimum investment in an armed conflict and also maximal results. What we are willing to do must be brought into some kind of close alignment with what we want to accomplish -- or, vice versa, what we want to accomplish has to be reduced to better align with what we're willing to do. We want to accomplish major things, but with a minor commitment. Won't work. Never has.

Apparently a bar near Madison square garden, despite the World Cup and the busy 4th of July weekend, had almost no customers because the Taylor swift wedding blocked off all the surrounding streets for security. The bar is asking her team, the mayor, the garden, anyone they can to make it right for the revenue they lost from the wedding spectacle, and no one is responding. Story at Breitbart.
Taylor and her team were willing to conspicuously donate money in a massive PR offensive attack before her wedding, to keep the socialists off her back. But she and her team are ignoring a business her wedding shenanigans actually hurt. Not a good look.

Yet ... Iran isn't acting like this at all. To the contrary, they are deliberately stirring up trouble like a bully who knows he's the baddest on the block. A regime or country on the balls of its ass doesn't act like this. Not when all it has to do is abide by the MOU for the time being and drag it out forever.
I continue to believe, as I have since the jump, that the news reports coming out of Iran -- both positive and negative -- are totally unreliable. You can wipe your ass with them. They might be more bogus than the 550th Ukrainian offensive.

The IRGC ain't that.

A regime or country on the balls of its ass doesn't act like this. Not when all it has to do is abide by the MOU for the time being and drag it out forever.
I continue to believe, as I have since the jump, that the news reports coming out of Iran -- both positive and negative -- are totally unreliable. You can wipe your ass with them. They might be more bogus than the 550th Ukrainian offensive.

Yes, the problem with too many people is that they lack patience. The facts are that Iran does not possess a working military anymore--it has essentially become a geographic locale of pirates. It cannot invade anymore, project its forces beyond sending drones and missiles, and protect its own airspace from decapitation strikes and degradation of its assets.
And it cannot shut the straits no matter how hard they try anymore. All they can do is be blown up, die, and marginally affect the price of oil.
Like Albania, they have few friends without being able to sell their oil, and have pissed off most of their neighbors except perhaps Pakistan and Afghanistan, neither of which can help them much without repercussions against both of those weak governments.

Far as I'm concerned, it's just a waste of time dealing with them. They're liars ... there's something wrong with them. They're cuckoo. As far as I'm concerned, it's over."

Eh, Japan is a pretty good example, though it might have been the last. And required killing thousands of civilian non-combatants - women and children. At the time of the Tokyo firebombings it was suggested this was the largest number of human beings killed in one fell swoop during a war or somesuch.
Everyone likes to portray Gen. Curtis LeMay as a crazy cigar smoking lunatic ala Dr. Strangelove but he was quite rational and competent.
Bomber losses were horrific to say the least in the ETO, his point was if the targets are not destroyed, they will have to keep going back again and again.
Nobody was too keen on flying B-29s at low altitude, but they had discovered a thing called the slipstream at 30,000 feet throwing off their aim considerably.
I wonder sometimes if modern precision bombing could have altered the war. Take out Berchtesgarden or key meeting points, cut off the head of the snake. Wiping out Dresden and Hamburg didn’t help anything really. The raids on Schweinfurt ball bearing plants and Romanian oil plants didn’t do much either

The problem is that Trump pulled his punch. Like spanking your kid with 3 strokes after promising 10, and saying "I think you've learned your lesson." Because every time after that, the kid knows he's getting 3 strokes when you tell him he will receive 10 for some violation.
The other problem is that Trump is dealing as a business man. He seeks profit (no, not the idea of more money, but some advantage) from every "deal" he makes. Which is fine when you're making deals around the edges or with someone who just thinks you're a competitor. But it is a very bad concept when dealing with an actual enemy who is working toward wiping your country off the face of the earth, if they can manage it.
He should have stuck to "regime change at the Iranian people's behest" as the goal of all of these actions.

Early on, I saw some folks saying Trump did not want a deal.
It was from anti-Trump folks, the gist was that he was going to make outrageous demands, lie and all that so he could blame the Iranians; that the Iranians were the honest dealers.
I saw it the other way:
Trump always knew a deal would never happen.
But, by constantly dangling a "deal" 1) the world would get bored and 2) he'd be free to show he did all he could to end the war.
Even folks here had been berating Trump, for the deal, for wanting a deal, for even talking about a deal--citing his own words.
Trump never needed a deal--Iran did.
Trump only needed time. And that's how I read between the lines of everything he and the rest of his Admin said.
Posted by: People's Hippo Voice at July 08, 2026 12:36 PM (3cUTc)
Now? Not before? Supposedly there is hope to squeak by and keep the house and senate, we will see.
If Trump puts American boots on the ground, for sure the midterms are toast, and I think he knows it. That is a line that ace points out we probably needed to cross to win this decisively. But that's not a line Trump was willing to cross at the time, or that most of his supporters will accept.
How did we have a massive amount of drone precision strikes taking out a new Iranian leader every day, and now nothing? I keep waiting to hear news the new gay mullah has been killed. Nothing.

The truth is once massive US bloodshed is off the table, the rest of it consists of the natterings of our pundit class that loathes Trump and wants a resolution immediately. Most of them never served and particularly in point of the spear units and think themselves too precious to risk a pinky.
Yet are all in on stupid ideas like we have to send troops in to topple the regime which is a patently stupid idea that simply would never fly politically absent something like a nuclear strike on the US.
If we could contain the Soviet Union without a nuclear war for decades, then we can certainly keep Iran in the box as it is more a threat to its immediate neighbors than us but trying to reconstruct armed forces sufficient to project power is a no go as they can and will be destroyed.
Regime change is going to have to be organic when the Iranians have had enough and are willing to kill enough of these assholes IRGC in the streets to end the regime.

I was assured that Trump was so desperate for a deal that he agreed to give Iran $300 billion just to sign a meaningless MOU that they were going to violate anyway.
No one involved has said that Iran has received any money. At all.
The $12 billion in frozen funds? Still frozen. Used as a carrot to get Iran to act like a normal country, and they couldn't do it.
The oil sales? Well, most of their tankers are still at sea and suddenly can't sell to anyone who wants to be part of the global banking system. So, they get $30 a barrel from China again (assuming they even get to China) without the ability to refill their tankers because we'll just take them like we took their shadow fleet during the blockade.
What if the MOU was fake, everyone knew it was fake, and it was just diplomatic pablum to get oil markets to calm down and the Gulf States an opportunity to realize how Iran won't play nice.

It's a fair complaint. But in that scenario, how does it really impact the voters here, and how does any political power in the US stop Trump from doing it. Iran had completely fallen off the front pages, and the back pages. Oil will spike a bit and then it will fall even lower. And Iran will fall even further off the pages. Iran is praying for something to stop Trump in the midterms. Nothing that can happen in the midterms will stop him. The GOP is not losing the Senate. The House will be super close. Oil prices will continue to fall.

Don't send them through the Kurds or any other mohammedan organized group, that was dumb, and I suspect that had a lot to do with the Ivy League poofters at CIA getting a case of the vapors over the idea of the average blue-collar Persian being armed.

Exactly. Trump had to appear to be making a reasonable deal, because the matriarchy that runs Europe (and too much of the US) these days demands it. He's now firmly demonstrated that a deal won't work and it's not because he didn't bend over backwards.

I remember when Goode and Pretti getting murdered was going to end the Republican's chances in the midterms.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison, discovering British horror with Hammer Films at July 08, 2026 12:39 PM (GKDy+)
Goode was a much cleaner shoot than Pretti IMHO. The imminent danger to officers was objectively verifiable by going to the replay. The Pretti thing was way more chaotic and harder to discern the imminent danger to the officers, which is probably why (at least it seemed to me) the left was able to make stronger arguments and keep it in the news a little longer. YMMV...

As a precautionary measure, Alito should resign now. Trump may not be able to get a replacement confirmed if the GOP loses the Senate.
The same is true of any other Trump appointed official who 1) was confirmed by the Senate and 2) was contemplating resigning after the midterms anyway.

Desert storm was a success, bush lost reelection because he broke his promise on no new taxes. It truly was the economy, stupid.
If Trump can get this Iran mess sorted out by fall, but more importantly if our oil prices plummet, and Americans find things more affordable, republicans have a good shot at surviving midterms.
Especially with the new certified electoral maps favoring GOP. And if voting fraud can get cleaned up. I have a feeling Thune is in power to thwart the SAVE act. But if that magically passes it will also help.

The 2004 elections gave W a second term, and increased the House margin.
Then Iraq went bad in 05 and 06 and the Democrats won the House, the Senate, and a majority of state governorships.

The only way renewed Iranian action becomes an actual election/domestic issue is if gas spikes again (won't we're past peak demand in the US, plus our exports have crashed while we're actually increasing production) or boots on the ground. Not on Kharg Island, but in Tehran.

It would not be hard to take them. They are all basically flat. There's no trees, its desert scrub, so nowhere for Iranians to hide. Impossible for the Iranians to reinforce.
Taking them would deny Iran eyes on the southern approach to Hormuz from in the gulf. Abu Musa is only 60km off the coast of UAE. Tunb is 80km and right in the middle of the gulf. Taking them would make it much harder to attack shipping in Hormuz because it would make ships hard for Iran to find until they enter the straits themselves.

One of my points of pride in defending Trump to the haters was his first term, he started zero new wars. That talking point is long gone for him.

Trump got what he really needed out of that MOU.
Prior to the deal, idk, something like a hundred or more tankers were stuck on the wrong side of Iran.
During the ceasefire*, many or most of them, were let through.
Now they can re-enter the global supply chain.
The 7 million barrels per day Saudi is pumping now though their East-West pipeline.
And the UAE North-South pipeline of 2 million per day inches closer to completion and online in early 2027.
That's what Trump really needed--those boats back on supply runs.
And that's why oil prices haven't spiked, even though the Strait is close. Again. For the 37th time.
But Trump is aa dum-dum who don't know nothing and always keeps winning despite being so stupid.
* not including the 30 or so ships Trump revealed they helped sneak through the blockade during the war.

The biggest irony is that in trying to protect the midterms from the impact of the war, Trump is guaranteeing that the war will be fought during the midterms.

Unmothball some battleships. Give them air cover. Have them sail up and down the coast and destroy every port city a raider ship comes out of, the nearest village for every drone launch point.

It replaced roughly 6.5 million barrels per day pretty much instantly. About a third of the traffic lost in the strait.
Plus, other paths brought it up to about 9.8 million.
So, half of the strait traffic in oil was redirected literally within days. All while exports from other oil producers (us, Norway, Venezuela) grew and demand destruction happened fast in Asia, especially Chinese plastics. Oh, and UAE left OPEC+ because they wanted to pump more. OPEC+ is now allowing its member nations to pump more as well.
We were at equilibrium in weeks, at most, which was why we never got that $200 barrel oil we were promised by Qatar.

Iranians told us so in our negotiations and we could see the Iranians trying to dig out the enriched uranium from the strikes last year and that is separate from any Israeli situation analysis of Iran's nuke program who knew more about the situation than any of us do.
Statement against interest by the Iranians that they had enough to make twelve bombs or so directly to US emissaries in negotiations.
And you might have forgotten air strikes against ISIS in his first term and killing the IRGC Soleimani among other US actions along with continuing to occupy and protect the Afghani government from the Taliban.
Iran was and is a menace to others via drones and missiles, and to a minor degree with terrorism and mining the Straits. We no longer depend on the Straits for our oil due to Trump.

1) oil is an international price at the moment, it is all done through futures trading, and then finding the oil to satisfy the purchases. While raking off the difference of course (unlike say, coal or Tungsten that don't really have a big futures market)
2) a fair amount of oil exited through the straits, and any disruption caused a panic in the price of oil
3) Europe and Asia mostly got oil via the straits so when it gets blocked they feel it worse.
4) The USN mostly guaranteed the straits and the Iran embargo, so we get called when there is a problem.
add to this
4) Iran was selling discounted oil by running the embargo, and China was getting it cheap and reselling it for a profit

Its a men thing that most men won't speak frankly about their real taste in women. I remember in the early '90s when Pamela Anderson was at her peak that most guys would pretend they were more into Jennifer Aniston. They reasoned to themselves (and sometimes outloud) "Jennifer seems nice", being silly enough to think Jennifer might give them the time of day were they to meet. Your odds with peak-era-Pamela were roughly the same as Jennifer Aniston, but guys just wouldn't admit that Pamela was molten-lava hot and that Jennifer wasn't.

Iran now has the GDP equivalent of Uganda.

Bombing Iran into submission isn't the issue. It's what comes next and there is always a next.
We didn't do a regime change in Venezuela. The person now running the country was pretty much running it prior to taking out Maduro. Nobody even mentions the place anymore. But if Trump takes down the Iranian government somebody has to run the place.
Regime change in the Middle East has a long history and none of it is good. Sometimes there are no easy answers, just less bad ones.

199 I think the Kharg Island talk is the wrong starting position. Take Abu Musa, Greater and Lesser Tunb and Siri first. These are all sparsely populated islands controlled by Iran in the gulf. A couple have air fields, and military facilities on them. Iran uses them to monitor Gulf ship traffic headed towards the straits of Hormuz. The UAE claims them as their soveriegn territory as well, but Iran has boots on the ground.“
Agree completely, add Qeshm and I’ve been advocating for that for months. And we know CENTCOM has prepared for it, that’s why amphibious troops were moved to the area.
Kharg is financially and politically important, but it has little strategic value and could be costly to hold. These other islands have incredible strategic value; whoever controls them controls traffic through the straits.

In this case our terms are actually pretty minor - stop attack shipping in the Gulf and stop funding Islamist groups.
But we have been very, very measured in the pain we've inflicted. Amusingly enough to get the civilian government eager to accept our terms, but not the IRGC which has the weapons.
So the answer should be obvious - target them and start inflicting pain. And no killing their grunts doesn't count they are perfectly willing to send their military forces to meet Allah...

As you said, we'll eventually get to the guy more concerned with getting peed on by Saudi hookers than funding terrorism.
It's just that every bomb dropped, every word spoken, every rumor of agreement has been evidence that nothing will ever change to some people.
"Don't our government officials know that the heads of the world's largest state sponsor of terrorism are untrustworthy?"
Why, yes, they do know that. And the administration has been focused on weakening them on multiple fronts until even if they want to continue to be asses, they don't have the ability to be asses.

I would also note that the last time a massive bombing campaign was used to get somebody to the negotiation table was in North Vietnam. The lasting result of that is North Vietnam won the war and the US got stuck with Hanoi Jane.
They are never going to negotiate a settlement.
All they're going to do is buy time until Trump is out of office and go from there. If the Democrats get power the odds of a US capitulation deal is high and we're back to square one.
Which leaves us limping along with fake negotiations, or going balls to the wall by blockading them and bombing their infrastructure until they come to their senses or a revolution takes out the mullahs and the IRGC.
Still, bombing the hell out of them was the right choice even with all these challenges. Having a nuclear Iran is simply unthinkable.

Iran kept throwing fits because we wouldn't unfreeze their assets ($12 billion, which I was assured they'd get instant access to again once the MOU was signed).

I've been consistent.
Cooper should be considered the underdog because of registration changes (look at NC senate polling from 2020 for a quick comparison to polling now, by the way, Cunningham was going to run away with the race in June). As well as other issues (his record during Helene, letting criminals out leading to Ilyiana's death).
To go worse than 52, the GOP would have to lose TX, OH, AK, or IA. And those aren't happening.
52 is actually a worst case scenario.
Best case would probably be 55. Holding NC and gaining MI and GA. But there's going to be precious little change overall. The important thing is reducing the terrible mix within the GOP senate caucus.

What does taking Kharg island do?

I'd suggest you need to take the strait of hormuz.
That is not easy.

You can't defeat an ideology with bombs and bullets. History is pretty clear on this. We are currently fighting a communist insurgency in our own country long after the Soviet Union fell.
China is a far bigger threat to the world's economic system, particularly ours, than Iran will ever be. We are fighting various forms of warfare with them on a daily basis. Dropping bombs on Iran until the place is rubble is a temporary solution to the underlying problem of an ideology that praises death over life.
Anyone who believes that simply bombing the current regime into submission is going to permanently end radical Islam is kidding themselves.

Oil prices were briefly at Obama levels, unadjusted for inflation. It's something that needs doing and the cost has been lower than it would have been for most of the last couple decades. Nuclear Iran in the long run would have been far more costly, even in relatively optimistic scenarios.

Not worrying about the enemy's capacity for asymmetric warfare is why Iran has functional control over the Strait of Hormuz. How many times are you going to make the mistake of underestimating the power of a small, determined country to control a choke point?

First, it remains to be seen if Terrorist Iran has "functional" control" of the SoH. At this point, it's a matter of insurance risks and premiums. In 72 hours, that might not matter ... at all. As for small countries, however much determined, attempting to hold the world hostage by "closing" a choke point, well, they can try.

Wednesday Morning Rant
USMCA remains in effect, but it is likely the beginning of the end for a trilateral North American trading bloc. This is, in part, because the USMCA did not serve one of its intended purposes, which is defense against Red China. Also a part of it is strained diplomatic ties between the two most important partners - the United States and Canada. Red China is a part of that issue, as well. The objectives of the USMCA of non-parasitic cooperation among the North American powers and containment of major foreign economic threats have not been met. One reason they have not been met is Canada's behavior, particularly under Carney.
It is not exactly a secret that Canada/US relations have been strained. There was often tension during Trudeau's administration, and that has accelerated markedly under Carney. Carney is openly hostile to the United States and has shifted Canadian policy not toward cooperation at home but to courting opportunities abroad. Specifically, Carney is aggressively pursuing the one thing that the USMCA was supposed to disincentivize: closer relations with Red China. In January of this year, Carney visited Beijing and Canada and Red China announced the Canada-China Economic and Trade Cooperation Roadmap, including such items as preferring existing WTO rules and frameworks, encouraging "personnel exchanges," easing financial transactions between the countries, etc. The USMCA died not on its July 1, 2026 renewal deadline but with that January 16, 2026 joint announcement. What comes next is unclear. It is unlikely that any of the three parties will simply void the agreement and exit in the immediate future, but it probably won't be renewed during the annual reviews to come. There is now a clock running. On July 1, 2036, the agreement will expire and I don't expect it to make it to the final deadline. With Carney moving Canada into Red China's orbit as quickly as possible, there is no way to reconcile the disagreement. This is not an argument over some fine point like a tariff rate or national origin requirements, this is a disagreement over who is the preferred partner of a crucially important member state. The ball is in Canada's court, and she would rather play with Red China. This is by no means a sure positive for Canada, given some of her other economic partners. One of the benefits of the USMCA for the three countries' trading partners has been that the bloc provides a predictable operating environment. As that environment breaks apart, it is going to ripple in other economies. A major country to watch as this unfolds is Japan. Japan has taken full advantage of the trading bloc and has factories and other business operations throughout the continent. Over three quarters of Canada's auto manufacturing industry is thanks to Japanese automakers. The Japan Business Federation came out in support of extending the USMCA (with a wishlist of Japan-friendly recommendations for change, of course). So what will Japan do as the USMCA winds down and is ultimately replaced? Is Toyota's movement of some production from Mexico to Texas a sign of things to come? Unless something changes, the intermediate-term effects of this breakdown will go well beyond mere trading economics. For generations, Canada and the United States have been vitally important partners to each other. We have been two distinct countries with compatible cultures, economic integration, deep diplomatic ties, stalwart military alliance and general friendliness at the micro and the macro. That is fracturing in real time as Ottawa pursues ever-tighter coupling with Beijing. The obvious distaste Canada's ruling class has for the United States in general and Donald Trump in particular is secondary, but serves to add yet more strain to an already strained relationship. This strain has likely ended the USMCA. Whether it is also the beginning of the end for generally good US/Canada relations remains to be seen.Comments

Carney isn't. Like the UK and Europe, they have turned to China as a trading partner because of their elites worshipping Net Zero and population replacement. And the common link is fascism--as Euroland and Canada's governments becomes more fascist to crush their native populations, the more sympatico they are with China. And China replaces the US as a customer with Euroland and Canada/Australia/New Zealand.
WEF banksta Carney who was formerly director of the UK's central bank, is not really a Canadian, but a functionary of the Globo Homo community destroying the West as we know it.
They are doing this purposefully, not blundering into it. Because the ruling classes hate freedom, hate their native populations having a say in governance, and hate people in general. Nasty creatures that make Gollum look sympathetic.

Nothing is going to be decided in a hurry. I think Trump intended all along to kill the MCA after he replaced NAFTA with it. And to that end, is why he insulted Canadians on purpose which caused an election with the Liberals in charge again rather than some weak coalitional government under Poliviere.
People agree that Trump is a deal maker but what they don't get is behind that is someone that uses deals to get what they want and he will use any tool in the arsenal to do that. Flattery, carrots, sticks, sanctions, insults, etc. etc.
Canada had already integrated much of its role in facilitating Chinese imports evading US limits in the treaty and a weak right coalitional government was not going to upend that dynamic nor would they rearm Canada to take care of their own defense. So Canada's right is similar to the Euro right--they are not willing to shut down immigration, fair trade with the US, nor end net zero type policies.

Invading a country is one thing.
Holding it is an entirely different problem.
The Islamist invasion of Europe is working because the invaders are outbreeding the natives and NO ONE is putting up a significant struggle.
China is imploding demographically. Unlikely to outbreed the natives here. And they may experience significant resistance from states if not the feds.

At the time, people were getting their mad on about Trump early in this term because of it and I think andycanuck ended up leaving AOS over it.
Hard to admit that your own country is run by traitors (right and left) and their version of the uniparty we have here is dead set on evil measures of utmost depravity.
This is what is hindering the right in the West, they are simply not willing to gatekeep to keep the globo homo out of their ranks and the globo homo types end up by treachery and links with their left in doing in those intending to do good.
Our own Congress with GOPe is a perfect example--Trump is betrayed again and again by the likes of Thune and his McConnell acolytes. In the House, you have traitors like Massie and MTG along with the lesser known types like Fitzpatrick and Salazar, etc. etc. or state governors like Kemp. Which is why the GOPe tries to ditch winning races again and again to keep the balance close and Democrats in effective opposition allied with GOPe types to prevent genuine confrontation with China and Musloids.

What does he have to lose by staying, or more precisely, by extracting the maximum pounds of flesh he can, since his political career is dead? He's just negotiating now.
As Dana Perino (spit, but she's right on this one) said about the Dems: "The problem for the base is that they have consultants who are idiots and they are reckless and they are careless, and they don't care about women," Perino said. "They don't care about anything. But what they want is the power. And the only reason this is all coming at this moment is because they knew they were going to lose."
Platner knows this.

Its inevitable without Divine Intervention.
It has been determined that White People are not permitted to have land, use natural resources, build wealth or procreate.
But its perfectly fine for anyone else to do all of those things. In fact, the pattern is to distribute land, resources, wealth and the ability procreate on to Other Than White.
So China will take Canada and mine the hell out of it and use whatever land is fertile, to dominate the food industry - all with slave labor (as usual).

To be fair, bullshit media, government, k12 schools, and society in the US pushed everyone to college, everyone needs to learn how to code, which was all self serving bullshit for Big Education. Meanwhile every single corporation was bringing in cheap labor from places like China and India, outsourcing to those companies, etc. Corporate America was full on globo homo and DEI made it worse for new grads.
And the US is profitting from those loans based on student loan interest rates being much above those given to giant monster mega banks at the Fed window. Obammy by banning private loans moved to those interest rates funding Obamacare.
So there is a lot of blame here to share--not just the yutes. And we are going to have to fix the mess just as we did with the handouts to big corporations during the 2007-9 economic crunch.

We have had shit sandwiches for a long time beginning with the Federal government assuming Revolutionary War debts of the states--some states had paid back most of it, others had not. Some states got devastated by war, particularly the South in the later stages, other places did not. And the new government trying to restore the credit of the US had to levy taxes on something to pay the debt--and it chose booze and imports to do it which caused the Whiskey Rebellion and pissed off the South. And yet it led to a US solid enough to take a regional depression from Jefferson banning trade with the Brits leading to a marginal loss in the War of 1812 and still not break.
National interests have to persevere over personal piques and animosities--the yutes need help and if the GOP does not do it, the Democrats will do it.

Canada is most definitely entering into the "Find Out" phase of FAFO. I'm going to live in "interesting times", per the old Chinese curse. How apt that will apply given that Carney and his communist Liberal Party are cozying up real tight with the CCP.
Now as to why the Liberals keep getting in? Either the voting system in Canada has been corrupted and can't be trusted to provide an honest vote, or a majority of my fellow countrymen believe the lies of socialism because they haven't lived through the "Everything fails, most people die" version (which socialists and communists desperately try to ignore, and later claim that 'real socialism/communism' hasn't been tried yet, which is gaslighting nonsense.)

At some point we will bankrupt Canada. And probably be willing to recognize the middle provinces as a new country, with US defense help while they get situated. Most of the useful stuff from Canada - the stuff that China wants - is food and natural resources - which comes from Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Western Ontario.

A YouTuber named Unacceptable Fringe is fond of showing a map that illustrates the problem: half the Canadian population lives south of 45 degrees latitude or so, clustered around Toronto and Montreal, what they say goes. The rest of Canada may want better trade with the United States and may want AB to drill like mad, but eenie meenie miney mo, whatever Toronto and Montreal says goes. Federal elections are typically over before ballots are counted in western ON.

The Midtown high-rise that dangerously buckled Tuesday will need to be partially demolished — although stabilizing it to even attempt the risky move could prove extremely harrowing, experts told The Post.
A more apt metaphor for the current condition of NYC under MamaLama DingDong could not be imagined.

Liberals got 32%, Conservatives got 33%.
So less than 1/3 of the voters actually wanted carney as PM.
The parliamentary system with multiple parties really skews election results.

We don't need or want AB as a state for a number of reasons, but as an independent country with tight military and economic ties, it's ideal. Imagine a Puerto Rico that spoke English, had zero percent feral population, and supported itself.
Besides the benefits to the US (and to the rank and file Albertans who.would no longer sending the majority of their economic surplus to Ottowa in the form of transfer payments to bribe Quebec), it would be a burr under the saddle to Carney or a successor anti-US PM.
The follow-on effects (independent Quebec?) should provide plenty of impediments to the planned Chinese hegemony over Canada.

The dem hosts of Blocked and Reported did a podcast on him before the new rape allegations that are finally being taken seriously. They both mocked him through their entire podcast and said he's ridiculous. But they would have held their loses and voted for him, even if he's distasteful, because Susan Collins has got to go and they need the senate back.
Ironically they say Collins votes with Trump most of the time, but conservatives think the exact opposite.

I think the people in the West and the US are waking up but it takes time we don't have. While the traitors are trying desperately to set up a fait accompli where elections mean nothing, the West continues to be impoverished and destroyed internally, and the Musloids and other detritus from the Turd World continue to invade.
To win, it means the masses have to engage in political action despite the fact it is a rigged game.
And it means turning off the mass media and digging up facts for themselves on blogs, X, and other places like here. Consider every media face as one step from becoming Qatarlson and every politician turning into MTG. Eternal vigilance.
Right now, we outnumber Globo Homo elites but we let ourselves get distracted by wedge issues promoted by mass media to divide us. When in fact, the ghoulish Uniparty delights in such matters. And that is why elections have to be cleansed first to eliminate the fog of rigging.

Cordocet's jury theorem and why PR is always a mess politically with insiders happily betraying their voters.
With more than two choices, you risk the least popular option (or party) becoming policy (or governing).
Reason why the left is pushing ranked choice voting and why it should be constitutionally banned in any red state now. Too easy to manipulate to achieve the opposite of a mandate.

I have another one for you! Apparently a bar near Madison square garden, despite the World Cup and the busy 4th of July weekend, had almost no customers because the Taylor swift wedding blocked off all the surrounding streets for security. The bar is asking her team, the mayor, the garden, anyone they can to make it right for the revenue they lost from the wedding spectacle, and no one is responding.
Taylor is willing to conspicuously donate money in a good PR move before her wedding, to keep the socialists off her back. But she and her team are ignoring a business her wedding shenanigans actually hurt. Not a good look.

I never pegged you as being a freedom hating Marxist. You use Marxist language, anyway (“working class” as opposed to rich people who do not work at all, you see) and you can measure how much you hate freedom by how much you hate free trade. (I want free trade with everyone but the PRC because they are the enemy, h/t, Denali.)
NAFTA landed me a job, as the company that hired me began expanding rapidly into Mexico the year it went into effect. I think they make more money now off of Mexico than its US operations. TX has run trade surpluses with Mexico and might still be now. (Don’t worry, I get that free trade is deeply unpopular here. But fuck it.)

The Canada ruling regime of effete impotent hosers hates the USA and especially MAGA. We hate them too.
But Canada is our #1 or #2 trading partner, and a one of the biggest -- if not the -- biggest destinations for American exports. There's too much trade and money at risk for anything serious to happen to this arrangement.
So the countries can go on despising each other but the trade will continue. Hell, weren't we doing some business with fucking Nazi Germany during parts of WW2?

I wonder if the situation is as dire as you think. We are currently winning a war, barely, against a determined communist foe (the democrats) with maybe a third of our party working with them. But that third is slowly getting replaced. And the democrats stand for nothing that is popular anywhere. Crossing my fingers, but if 2028 goes as we hope, the left here will be marginalized for a decade. The US is blessed with a remarkable self correcting capability - it just takes a bit.

The support doesn't have to be overt, and, I agree, would be counterproductive.
Many of the on-the-fence Albertans would be emotionally lured to the Remain side simply by the reinforcement of the "Canadian identity" of "not American". Uncomfortable as it is to recognize , it's real enough that Carney rode it to victory.
Nixing the "51st state" nonsense is part of that.

I don't get the argument that Nolan used a more feminist translation. The movie uses modern American English.
Also it seems Ellen Page is playing a character not in the story? Mmmmmkay.
As for Nyongoband Helen of Troy...She only had a bit part in the story, right? So if Nyongo is in it who cares?
It occurs to me that Nolan isn't doing The Odyssey at per se, he's doing his own version of the story which may have some mild relation to The Odyssey. Like O Brother, Where Art Thou except no one gets turned into a toad,

The Morning Report — 7/ 8 /26
Good morning kids. With everything going on domestically and internationally, this morning we have something coming totally out of left field, and given that it's in NYC, it's both literally and figuratively. Still, ¡Hay Caramba!
The Midtown high-rise that dangerously buckled Tuesday will need to be partially demolished — although stabilizing it to even attempt the risky move could prove extremely harrowing, experts told The Post. The 37-story former Pfizer headquarters at 235 E. 42nd St. near Second Avenue will first need to be stabilized as soon as possible to prevent a possible localized collapse, they said. Without intervention, it poses a “significant danger” and “could collapse,” said Ronald Hamburger, a structural engineer with five decades of experience and who served on the federal team that investigated the World Trade Center catastrophe.From what I understand, were it not for the fact that the building was undergoing renovation/conversion the buckling beam might very well have gone undiscovered and then might well have ultimately snapped and potentially catastrophically collapsed the structure. Reminds me of the potential catastrophe that could have collapsed the then new in 1977 nearby Citicorp Center tower, had it not been for the fact that an engineering student IIRC by accident discovered that the design was never tested for wind loads hitting the tower obliquely. And this was right before that year's hurricane season and so a massive retrofit program was begun just as a major hurricane was barreling up the east coast, and it was a race against time. Given who and what is running NYC, there couldn't be a more perfect metaphor than a collapsing skyscraper, which could have been avoided were it not for competence and common sense at the outset. And yet we have Hurricane Mamdani already cutting a swathe of destruction there as well as primed to sweep across the rest of the land, as both CBD and I discussed on the newest episode of the podcast linked here and on the usual outlets listed below. Of course the fallout over Nazi-loving Jew-hating rapist Graham Platner continues to eat up the Democrats. But his revolting predilections and accusations as we all know too well is not why the Democrats are desperate to have him disappear.
"It's because the recent polling shows that Graham Platner was going to lose to Susan Collins," Perino said. "And they thought, wow, we only have two weeks to figure this out."And speaking of the base, which is indeed Base, this vile garbage is the sine qua non of who and what the Democrats are:
. . . "If they pull a Biden switcheroo, the Democratic brand is just so damaged in the state," Perino said. "And Susan Collins, what is the knock against her? She's so steady. There's no drama. Okay, well, maybe the state will be looking for that."
. . . The bigger picture is even uglier for Democrats. The base wanted Platner or somebody like him. The establishment wanted a safe pick like Gov. Janet Mills. That civil war didn't end this week, and Perino identified exactly who keeps losing it.
Rep. Becca Balint (D-VT) said a fellow House Democrat dismissed concerns about antisemitism by claiming it is no longer a problem because “all the Jews are rich.” Speaking to CNN, Balint said the unnamed lawmaker made the remark during a bipartisan House antisemitism task force meeting. She recalled the incident after watching footage of California state Sen. Scott Wiener being forced out of a transgender rights event by protesters angry over his support for Israel, saying it reminded her of other examples of antisemitism she has encountered. . . “I know at some point there will be a day of reckoning, because I still believe that Jews should have a homeland,” Balint told CNN. “There will be people, I think some of my own supporters, who will turn on me, because I still believe in a two-state solution. I still do. I still believe that Israel should be safe and secure. I believe that the Palestinians have been so ill-treated for so long and deserve a safe and secure homeland. I do not believe Israel should be dismantled.”At some point and I believe we've reached that point, it's no longer going to be about Israel. It's just plain old Jew-hate straight up same as it's always been.
In an interview with ABC News’s This Week, Mamdani offered his short tenure as proof of concept for socialism. “We don’t have to ask ourselves what life looks like if a socialist wins,” he said. “I won last November, and over the course of these last six months, what we’ve delivered for working people are the very things we were told were impossible.” After finally passing the largest budget in New York City history, Mamdani claimed that “if these past months have shown us anything, it is that socialists not only understand economics as well as the capitalists who came before but that we can solve their years of mismanagement through an embrace of our principles.” On the contrary, Mamdani’s first six months in office indicate the success of capitalism and the regular machinations of municipal government, not democratic socialism.To a Muslim Communist, Capitalist is just another word for JEW. Of course one doesn't actually have to be Jewish to be a target, just an honest, hard-working, successful tax-paying law-abiding citizen. And the Mamdani pestilence is not confined to New York as can be seen from sea to shining sea, especially in California from whence the ever-popular billionaires' taxes sprang, and will not be limited to billionaires. Anyone with two nickels to rub together will ultimately be targeted because having two is racist, homophobic and unfair. Since that second nickel of course came about because of slavery and white supemacy inflicted on the downtrodden by white interlopers, colonists and diamond merchants, doncha-know?!!! Elsewhere in the world, things are heating up in and around Iran. Meh, when did they cool off.
Trump says Iran cease-fire is ‘over,’ vows to no longer deal with ‘sick people’ The revocation of oil sanctions waivers signals a hardening U.S. stance and raises questions about the viability of the Trump administration’s ongoing negotiations with Tehran. Further disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz could have significant implications for global energy markets and U.S. strategic interests in the region.If the President no longer wants to deal with "sick people" when do we go after Leftists?! Because it's a miracle what's left of the Republic made it to 250 and if these vermin have their way, we're not making it to 275, let alone 500! And speaking of which... 'Tokyo Bros' Go to Tehran to Call for 'Death to America,' and We Have Questions About Treason
What does it take to get arrested for treason around here, anyway? The last person to be arrested for working for the enemy and against the United States was Tomoya Kawakita, an American who switched sides to become a Japanese POW slave labor camp overseer who brutalized American soldiers in World War II. Then there was Tokyo Rose, who served the Imperial Japanese as a radio propagandist. Old Tokyo was arrested, tried, and convicted when she tried to get back into the U.S. after the war.Max Blumenthal is one of the most heinous examples of what I call the "Self-gassing Jews" anywhere. And is Hinkle related to Adenoid Hinkle? Line up the two against a wall and let them sandwich Jane Fonda for good measure and have a raffle where the winners get to be in the firing squad. Have a good day,
And that gives me an idea. I don't know about you, but I think that's a splendid idea for what I've dubbed the "Tokyo Bros," two American media influencers who went to Tehran to lead cheers with the "Death to America" crowd and fete the dead Iranian ayatollah. They claimed that the dead ayatollah was "fighting for humanity" against "evil" Zionists when he met his 72 old bags in the afterlife. That's no hyperbole. This guy, Jackson Hinkle, a communist and anti-American — but I repeat myself — was on stage and literally led a "Death to America" and "Down with America" chant over the weekend in an IRGC-approved massive crowd in Iran. We know it was an approved propaganda ploy because, were it a collection of thousands of "free" Iranians rising up against the dead-ender Twelvers, the Basij would have mowed them down like they did the estimated 42,000 souls murdered during Iranian street protests last January. Wink, wink. Why would we want that treasonous bastard to come back to our country in anything less than a ball, chain, and leg irons? Then there was Sid Vicious Blumenthal's son (Hillary's boy, Media Matters et al.), Max Blumenthal, who visited Tehran to fanboy over what a great guy the dead ayatollah was and be the hypeman for "these popular mobilization rallies" that have been approved by our sworn enemies in the IRGC. I don't wish to be indelicate or anything, but we're in a hot war with Iran at the moment. We were just dropping bombs and strafing some bad hombres on Tuesday morning. Hinkle amplified this message about killing the president while he was over in Tehran. We recognize that Americans have free speech rights, but ... pssst ... treason on foreign soil isn't protected free speech. Pass it on.

1960 was not a suspect era for materials failures or cut corners. That International Style may have been stark and hard to live in, but it was transparent, literally, and 'honest.' Hard to believe there would be major computational errors in the original work -- although that needs to be looked into. Maybe the roof leaked. Our usual experts are already looking for any women or minorities who may have walked by the work site.
Personally I'm convinced that at the base of the buckled upright they will find a locked tin box with a singing frog inside.

Trump is a deal maker. He's always been and always will be a deal maker. He attempted to make a deal. He didn't lie, he just portrayed what he felt he would be able to get diplomacy done because he's the best deal maker he's ever met.
The deal didn't work, so he's doing what he started doing and bombing the shit out of them in a likely attempt to get them back to the table. If they refuse, they'll prolly die.

This entire conversation about "racial" vernacular having some sort of legitimacy or purpose is sick, twisted, and perverted. It corrupts the fundamental use of language which is to communicate.

This is a very ends focused argument the left makes occasionally. How do we know there is "white supremacy"? Well whites have more money then blacks so obviously whites are holding black people down.
But they implement this in a very haphazard way. So for example homosexuals are wealthier then straight people in the US and...THAT doesn't indicate discrimination against straight people....

One of the big issues with the sales to Turkey is that Erdogan, to his own people in Turkey, has said that one of the first things he wants to do with the new weaponry is to make war with Greece, and seize full control of Cyprus.

I'm sure 99% of American soccer coaches are Democrats, so there's probably a lot more propensity for child buggering in that crowd regardless of national origin, but it goes way up when you start employing lawless Aztec drifters.
The last time one of these Aztec soccer coaches was raping a shitload of boys, it was poor barrio kids in LA, not lily white prep school kids.
Now, here's the headscratcher, for me... Franklin, TN is a wealthy locale. David French lives there, so it'll never be free of boyplay until he's gone. But these people can afford to send their kids to someone who isn't a grubby little border jumper.
I'm not rich enough to live in Franklin. But if I had a kid in soccer and his coach was Pedo González López, I'd yank him out of that team and go find one with a coach named Jimbo or something, immediately. Even though it would probably be more expensive, in this case, you're paying for what you don't get - which is rape.
I swear, it's like once you hit a certain level of affluence, there's some kind of law that all your service workers must be swarthy wage slaves with no papers.

The claim that the Biden administration put 3 million illegal immigrants directly on Social Security benefits is not supported by evidence; however, data shows approximately 2.1 million Social Security numbers (SSNs) were issued to noncitizens in fiscal year 2024 through the Enumeration Beyond Entry (EBE) program. These SSNs were granted to individuals who had received work authorization (such as asylum applicants, parolees, and TPS recipients), making them "lawfully present" for tax purposes, though most remain ineligible to collect Social Security benefits unless they meet specific legal residency requirements.

When can we expect Candace Owens to testify on behalf of Tyler Robinson’s defense during the trial?
I’m told she’s the foremost expert on what REALLY happened and the only person who truly knows what went down. She’s got all the RECEIPTS, as she constantly reminds everyone. Given her expertise, the defense would be crazy not to call her.
Unless of course she’s a cluster B nutjob who just makes crap up and who would be a disaster on the witness stand. But that would be crazy if she had spent months just making crap up out of bitter resentment of the man who eclipsed her and wanted nothing to do with her and out of hatred of the woman he chose to spend his life with.
Anyhow, when can we expect her to be called to the witness stand by the defense? She should be champing at the bit to expose the REAL killer(s) under oath.

The smartest move for Platner is to make big demands and then settle for a moderate pile of cash and some sort of media platform along with a guarantee the FNM/Dems will bury the claims against him.
But...he's not a smart guy.

We benefit from standardization within NATO.
But we are decreasing the amount of US Forces committed to NATO. Trump is on a good path to make the EU do more. The goal is the US no longer funds, nor underpins defense, for most of NATO.

While I have no doubt that this will be the end result, currently they aren't adding to the problems with the trust fund. The problems with the trust fund are caused by the fact that it was set up with the assumption that people would continue to marry young and have large families.
In fact, most of our problems with immigration are caused by the fact that everything in government was setup with that same assumption and no one in government cares to even try and find a different solution other than bring in as many - theoretically - taxable bodies as possible.

I'll be amazed if not. How binding are Maine's state primary election laws on political party formal nomination of candidates for a general election?

And supposedly the system can be disabled...for now.
While far more nefarious examples of with whom the data could be shared is imaginable, the most obvious one is your auto insurance company. Every time you take your eyes off the road for longer than one second, your premium goes up. If you don't check your rearview or sideview mirrors often enough, your premium goes up. Etc., etc...

If Platner has at least two functioning brain cells he'll not go oyster harvesting, driving, or do much of anything outside his house for the next two weeks. Especially not going to a meeting with anyone at a state park at 1 AM. Yet house fires occur all the time...
His best bet is to disappear until one micro-second before his candidacy is locked-onto the November ballot. He'll again need to watch out for assassins until election day.

Anyway, (I detest that seque) this arose in tabs covering several decades: Scheerpost dot com: Israeli Foreign Agent Took Over The Charlie Kirk Show Days After His Killing, June 19, 2026, Max Blumenthal, The Grayzone
Charlie Kirk’s media empire and his right-wing activist organization, Turning Point USA (TPUSA), have come under the control of the Israel-directed forces he spent the last months of his life antagonizing. Erika Kirk now claims her husband supported Israel to the end, while TPUSA misrepresents his opposition to war on Iran.
It begins, "The Charlie Kirk Show is now distributed by a federally registered agent of Israel tasked with seeding American media with Zionist propaganda. It is part of a whopping $46 million dollar annual contract between the Israeli government and Brad Parscale, the former chief of staff for Donald Trump’s 2020 presidential campaign. This may be the largest lobbying contract in the history of foreign influence operations..." 😲

Line up the two against a wall and let them sandwich Jane Fonda for good measure and have a raffle where the winners get to be in the firing squad.
NO FIRING SQUADS
Firing squads are honorable ways to die, standing tall and facing the firing line, refusing the blindfold, smoking a last cigarette and taunting the men on the rifles "Shoot straight, you bastards. Don't make a mess of it!"
Traitors get a short drop and a sudden stop, because hanging is sordid, gruesome and messy, what with the possibility of being strangled for 10-20 minutes before death or having your head ripped off a la Black Jack Ketchum.

- All your shorts are belong to us say JP Morgan and Bank of America as they look forward to bypassing federal laws capping debit card fees. (MSN)
There are days when a wave motion gun would come in really handy. This is three of them.
- The AVX-512 instruction set may be making a return in Intel's upcoming Nova Lake processors. (Tom's Hardware)
It's been notably absent from Intel's recent desktop and laptop chips, leaving AMD the only option for users who, uh, use it.
Still available in Intel server processors though.

Not much lesser, Fen. I hear tell they send somebody over to the prospective adopter's house to check out the future home environment, ask for references, etc. On one level it's good to see -- they don't want an animal going to a bad home -- but it's damned intrusive.
The shelter in Vicksburg, MS, where I adopted Stirling did ask for a vet reference, so they could be sure I was the type to see to my past cats' medical needs. That done, everything was fine.
On the other hand, the lady who sold little Dagny to me already knew me from two past adoptions, so we met halfway between her home and mine (in the parking lot of a truck stop, of all places) and took care of everything right there.

Me, I just throw devices on charge overnight and unplug them in the morning. Charging circuits in the devices with USB-C connectors are supposed to prevent the battery from being overcharged, and as far as I can tell, they do a good job of that.

Po'ly. (Poorly, in General American.) The agent's phone struggled to stay connected, so we had a hard time seeing anything. The house looks okay -- more on that in a minute -- but the agent warned me about the area. "I legally can't tell you if a neighborhood is good or bad . . . but there was a guy outside here screaming his head off in broad daylight." "I don't have to move 800 miles for that," I said, "I can get that right here!" The agent agreed he was not comfortable in the area, and we left it at that.
Pawn here was kind enough to offer some insights based on the Realtor pics, and the place might need more work than it appeared to.
So the hunt continues.

Right; I was going to get there at ten, and the stores, most, don't open until eleven. I just envision some officious Karen in a "security" uniform, the type who'd have rousted you in 2021 about wearing a face diaper, reading me the riot act about what she calls "running."

So I've been using xcancel.com to get around that, but now it's having problems where it just loops a bunch of times trying to get access to the post (and its comments) and then if it loops too long, I get locked out with a "429 Too Many Requests" error, and any subsequent attempt to access xcancel.com gets that error as well (at least for a while, I'm not sure how long I'm locked out.)
I updated all my add-ons in Firefox, and then whitelisted xcancel.com in uBlock Origin, but it's still doing it. Don't know if it's a problem on their end or mine.

Good morning, everyone.
Update on the shoulder surgery. Went very quickly, only a rotator cuff repair, no muscles or tendons were in need of repair. Five little laproscopic incisions. No need for pain meds either! Feels like a muscle ache from loosing a 'you flinched you get two punches battle'. First physical therapy is today at 1500, shouldn't be problematic, as I already have reasonable range of motion back. Hoping it's only range of motion and strength work.

This was not at all my experience in '91 when I had a complete rebuild on my right shoulder including pig cartilage on the rotator cuff. Two nights, three days in William Beaumont on Ft. Bliss. Level 10 pain for two weeks, 2 and a half years to get limited range of motion and strength back. Worst pain ever. We're talking Man Cold level miserableness.

A guy with Executive silver hair was surrounded by minions that questioned him sharply on how he, yes he, got such a beautiful, cultured wife. This went on for a while, as they were astonished at his now wife (probably not 25 but still younger than him). He was getting annoyed at the thought that he could not pull it off.
He then said, come in closer, and I'll tell you how. "I told her I had 15 million dollars more than I have, and that I was 15 years older than I am."
Shut them up.
Two year before, I saw this same man, surrounded by a different group of slightly younger men, say "I don't mind gay marriage, but I want them to undergo a gay divorce." I took from that comment, said with biting vehemence, he had recently been unhappily divorced.

So in the end, what did it accomplish?
Pro: it temporarily knocked oil prices down , blunting political criticism plus it gave us a quiet weekend for the 250th.
Con: it allowed Iran to rest, regroup, and rearm with shipments from China and Russia, plus it completely negated any economic effects of the two month blockade we’d imposed.
So politically it was justifiable; from a military standpoint it was idiotic.

Hi, tubal. I think that's a great idea- and over the years fasting, has become much more than about fasting from food. We just had a discussion during Lent over this. I'm not sure how fasting from chocolate for instance , draws one closer to God, whereas fasting from websites and spending time in prayer, reading Scripture could aid one in the
Idea of "Create in me a clean heart" and "Renew a right spirit within me" and asking God to transform one by the power of the Holy Spirit into -as far as possible in this life- into the image of Jesus Christ and full of the fruit of the Spirit
God bless you and others engaging In this. At some point, come back and tell us how it went.

This is "as I understand it". If I'm wrong, let me know please?
Under the War Powers Resolution, a president can take military action against another foreign power for 60 days, plus an additional 30 days for an organized withdrawal in which combat can still take place. After that he needs authorization from Congress to continue, or an official Declaration of War.
So, by signing a peace agreement, the former military action was officially ended, and with this new attack by Iran and Trump's response to it, the 90 day clock starts all over again.

Our flag sales are normally almost entirely US, state, and military flags. So when we started getting more and more inquiries about world flags during our offseason in January and February, I knew something was up. Then I started putting it all together. The World Cup was coming, and it was about to change our business. *** When we took over, our goal was simply to survive those first few months and build out the e-commerce side of the business. We certainly weren't looking ahead to the World Cup or America's 250th birthday, but we've definitely benefited from some tailwinds. *** The World Cup, combined with America's 250th anniversary, has supercharged our business. We've seen tremendous national growth, and these events have definitely moved the needle for us. We've been fortunate enough to be in the right place at the right time.Good ol' capitalism. Gotta love it! ----- Any other map and highway nerds out there? 70 Years of the Interstate: How the U.S. Highway System Built the America We Know
Seventy years ago, on June 29, 1956, President Eisenhower signed the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956, aka the National Interstate and Defense Highways Act, into law. It created the Dwight D. Eisenhower National System of Interstate and Defense Highways, better known as the Interstate Highway System. Or, simply, “the Interstate.” Ike signed the bill, along with 26 others that day, from a hospital bed at Walter Reed after an intestinal infection and operation. No press. No photographers. His press secretary was there to witness the signing, and that’s it. It was a shrug-worthy opening ceremony for what would become this country’s largest-ever public works project as well as an agent of almost immeasurable cultural, economic, and physical change. Aside from being a marvel of civil engineering, the Interstates created jobs and boosted the economy. They made travel easier and more accessible. They made shipping more efficient. They also brought added safety compared to other highways. But they also screwed a lot of people over. Small towns bypassed by new Interstate routes withered and died. According to Department of Transportation estimates, Interstate construction displaced over a million Americans and destroyed 475,000 homes. *** When the original 1916 Federal Highway Aid Act expired, the Federal Highway Aid Act of 1921 superseded it. The ’21 bill further consolidated the federal/state partnership, allowing states to conduct their own road-building projects, albeit to federal standards, with $75M allocated annually for the construction of a national road grid of interconnected “primary highways.” The “later [1956] interstate highway bill… would not have been possible, or necessary” without the 1921 bill, according to Swift. By 1921, the Office of Road Inquiry had grown into the Bureau of Public Roads. Its head, Thomas MacDonald, wanted a better understanding of the nation’s road system, not just for public use but for military use. That year, he commissioned the Army to produce a map of public roads that were useful for interstate travel as well as for defense. The so-called “Pershing Map,” after the general who produced it, included 78,000 miles of public roads and proved to be an important tool in later planning for the Interstate system. Another important step in the growing road network was the United States Numbered Highway System, first designated 100 years ago in 1926. Interstate trails and named highways had been spreading across the country, but with no uniformity and spotty maintenance. The Numbered Highway System addressed this by creating the “U.S. Routes,” with numbers instead of names, identified by a recognizable white-and-black shield. North-south routes were to feature odd numbers, with the lowest number starting on the East Coast and the most significant routes ending in “1” or “5.” East-west routes featured even numbers, with the lowest number starting on the northern border and primary routes ending in “0.” Despite the name “U.S. Routes,” these roads were built and are maintained at the state level. By the end of the 1920s, the Bureau had invested three-quarters of a billion dollars in road building and improvement, paving or resurfacing over 90,000 miles of highway, according to Spencer Headworth’s book Rules of the Road.Very long article but fascinating for aforementioned map / highways nerds like me. Check it out and catch me at the next MoMe so we can discuss this kin of stuff!

I saw online today some people saying to have 2wks of food and water on hand. I asked why and no one said whatever has them thinking this way. Wut?
We always, since before the plandemic, have food and stuff that will probably be inherited by our sons. But not 2wks of water.
Does anyone know anything about this or is someone paranoid...say because we are bombing Iran again?
Did I miss something? Have I been in a coma with McConnell?
I did pray to keep our country and crowds safe on the 4th, as jihad's like dates. Unaware of anything else. I should have enough gin to last me...

You'd have to assume that the Iranians were holding back while we killed their leadership. And, if this spectacular attack could only be ready now, and not while we were making lists and checking them twice, why didn't they hit the crowds on the Fourth?
Anything is possible, head on a swivel first, last, and all times in between. However, were not dealing with Bond villains. The IRGC is gangsters and should be dealt with as such.

Jet Airliner- Some guy named Richard Russell hopped in a Horizon Air De Havilland Canada Dash 8-400 and took it up at Seattle-Tacoma Airport.
Joy Ride- Russell few around for about 70 minutes having a good old time. He told traffic control he wanted to see what the plane could do. He even completed a barrel roll.
Screaming in the night- Eventually Russell had his fill and flew it into Ketron Island. This all took place after 8pm....There wasn't a scream of fear, but more of excitement as Russel crashed head on into the island.
(If there is no secret message in the song picks, I'm going to suggest a glitch in the matrix, because this event fit perfectly. I would have thrown in "Roll Out the Barrel" drinking song as the third selection, however commemorate this idiot's successful barrel roll in a passenger plane without any flying experience)

To cut costs they tripled inspection time on the jackscrew used to move the t-tail. Plane took off from Mexico and in flight the jackscrew malfunctioned freezing the t-tail. The pilots managed to recover, declare an emergency, and start flying to land it. But they decided to troubleshoot the issue further. What resulted was them completely popping the cap on the jackscrew and the 727 plummeted into the Pacific killing everyone.

I just finished ep 1.
Here's the thing. The nine bodies are from a small plane that crashed in the jungle. The twist is that there were 10 people on that plane.
By the end of ep 1, one person was dead in the crash and another murdered.
So I think it will play out like an Agatha Christie style "and then there were none" mystery.

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean no one is actually out to get you.
Two weeks of water is 2 of those big cases of bottled water, if you ration. I would also have a box of the marine water pouches (like Capri Sun juice pouches) on hand - you can punch a small hole in them and wash wounds, clean your hands, etc. Then, if a semi-predictable disaster (like a hurricane) is coming, you fill up the tub and use a couple of gallon jugs (cut them so they have a decent opening but you still have a handle) to scoop water out for washing things or flushing your toilet. You can also use the drain valve on your water heater (turn off the heat source before doing this) for however many gallons the tank holds (40-50 gal is most common).
There are more "prepper" things to do, but those are good for non-TEOTWAWKI things.

I see the difference now, after looking it up. It is more almond-y, but darker and yellower, but not as bad as Harvest Gold. Perhaps it darkened as it aged. Patina, even. Non-smoker household.

it is always good to keep some extra on hand. I suggest at the very least a 5 gallon bucket of rice, a 5 gallon bucket of beans or lentils, and one of those big jars of coconut oil.
Once you start getting into a propane stove, or cans of Spam, and from there a year's supply of everything, you are now prepping and considering getting half a dozen chickens.

It may have darkened just from cooking in the kitchen. I have seen cabinets darken/yellow the same way. In the earlier 80's the better dishwashers used to come with different color panels, because they all had trim kits. You got 2 panels with a different color on each side. It was white, almond, black, and the 4th color was usually a throwback. Usually harvest gold. The 4th color was actually a crap shoot, it could have been that brown, or avocado, or harvest gold, but usually harvest gold. You pop the stainless trim off the side, slide out the panels, and just use what color you wanted. Usually people went with the almond, that was the "in" color at the time.

The house we moved to when I was 6 had avocado, Mom redid the kitchen a few years later, and she went harvest gold, because it was the early 70's and mom was Mrs Mediterranean, as were most people back then ( a whole different rant). It was like that until I moved out. Nothing better than doing nice kitchens every day, vanquishing the horrible colors, and then coming home to it. Of course they finally redid the kitchen again a few years after I moved out. I busted my fathers balls every day about that kitchen. Our business was kitchens and baths, we did beautiful kitchens, and I'm living in a fucking sunflower. arghhh...

Lots of prayer, a little therapy, and many days just forcing herself to put one foot in front of the other. And she laughs a lot because I'm such a funny guy.

Ah, yes, the good ol' Canyon E-way (Hwy 87). I left the Panhandle before I was able to enjoy bypassing the Happy and Tulia speedtraps in my future X-1s car as we travelled back and forth between Amarillo and Wayland Baptist University in Plainview. Though there was one time in '85 when my best friend and I were blasting down 87 doing about 120 when we blew by a trooper who had already pulled someone over. Good times...good times.

This is pretty much how Iraq went. Big impressive stomping of their regular army in 1991 which was halted because the objectives didn't include *too much* winning.
Followed by a decade of performative airstrikes not to so much change the situation, but remind Saddam that we could do more if we could be bothered in hopes that his behavior would improve. It naturally didn't since the force used was never particularly threatening to him or his hold on power.
The main difference now is that we're enforcing a no sail zone rather than a no fly zone. And while we whacked the ayatollah, his replacements don't seem to feel threatened (or don't care because their 72 virgins are better than they have now). And instead of Kurds getting massacred while we 'manage' the situation rather than win it, it's Persians.

Well, I have a bit of a conundrum here. To do it right would entail grinding another used crank ( I have a few.), resize some other used rods, bore cylinders out .020, and find and install .020 over pistons and rings. We are already over a thousand dollars here in parts and shop services. Or go the "farmer fix" route. Pick a used crank that will Plastigage within spec with new bearing shells. Pick six rods that haven't been beat up; plastigage the rod bearings too. Hone the cylinders with dingleberry hone. Re-use the existing pistons, which have only 45000 miles on them. New cam bearings, because they are wiped. Engine might only be good for another 20-30000 miles. He will never ever drive it that much in his lifetime. I doubt he has averaged a hundred miles per year on it since he has owned it.

We have plenty of dried food,etc, yada. I would need water but that's it.
I think? I have figured out her panic, possibly. The explosive diarrhea from a parasite in some states from bagged lettuce, cilantro, fruit that is not washed. It doesn't kill you but horrific (so I just read). A parasite, or this one, is not spread person-to-person.
Otherwise I am clueless why she thinks there will be "martial law." We were not under martial law with covid that I can recall. I guess if she says "parasite" from unknown sources I will say ok vs the difference of a person-to-person virus or the plague.
If it is due to the news of diarrhea, well, freak out, I guess. I don't buy bagged lettuce since we found a slug in a bag about 25yrs ago. Nasty!

I would think if the pistons measure good and the bores are good, just go with the dingleberry hone. As far as the crank goes, if you find one within spec you can go with a slight hand polish and do the matching bearings. I call shit like this rewinding the clock. It might not be factory new, but it rewinds the clock a little.

I think, oddly enough, most of the "standard" recommendations for regular people for food storage, water storage, and the like, were developed by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, which "strongly" recommends to their members to have a years supply of food on hand. They have extensive guides on food storage, and the government, in a rare case of having brains, said, essentially, "these are better than anything we can dig up" and essentially borrowed them/repurposed them. The Church has very detailed guidelines on what to store, how to store it, and how to actually build this 1 year supply so it's not "go out and buy 3 tons of flour" which no one can do. The water recommendation is actually 1 gallon per person per day for two weeks. Then various water purification things for after that.
And pretty much everyone has just copied the Church, because it's good advice and a good baseline that is achievable by most folks. Sure, the hardcore "preppers" will say you need more, like ten years in your massive underground bunker, but for regular people, the 2 weeks is a good start / goal.

I’d like to think that was true, but haven’t seen any actual evidence of it. It bothers me that our side runs media ops to make us believe certain things; remember the “Vahidi is dead!” claims? (Top IRGC leader)
Well those stories were just an op, he’s fine, showed up at the funeral a couple days ago in perfect health. So I’m getting quite skeptical of any claims about what is happening internally in Iran.

I simply wanted to know what triggered her panic today. She said to prepare for possible martial law. I nicely asked why and she has not given me a reason.
My husband has no idea, either, and we figure something triggered her and I will, for tonight, blame her possible ignorance on a parasite that's in the news.
It is not unusual to have this in the summer months, I read. Apparently does not show up for weeks, which is gross to think about, and (so far) is not killing people nor person-to-person infections.
I got Salmonella 25yrs ago from a salad and I rarely eat salads at restaurants. My husband grows lettuce hydroponically and that seems to be fine (he washes it, which apparently is a novel idea in the twenty something years of bagged lettuces). The End.
If I find out something otherwise causing her panic I will report. It was weird to read and she may be a confused alarmist.

I have never joined X and I don't wish to. I can - or, could - watch almost everything, and if it was "age-restricted," I could go to xcancel.
On Ace's cafe posts, I will skip anything from Instascam; I will sometimes watch YouTubes, if they're short; what I mainly enjoyed was X, nice short X vids.
But now when I click Play on an X vid (on X, not embedded in an Ace post), it pops up a YouMustJoin panel and I can ONLY watch it if I go to xcancel. Also have to remove any thing in the URL from "?" onward.
xcancel is really superior in that I can read replies, and the full-screen option can be chosen BEFORE hitting play. HOWEVER, it is tedious to paste in "cancel" on EVERY video link.
I think, sad to say, I'm going to have to forego the cafe from now on.😒

The priest asked with a shocked tone "How long did you say you were dating ?" I said 7 years. He says well we're going to wave that, if you don't know what you're getting into by now nothing will help" lol

Hilarious. Idiots trying to steal a chained up generator, but get their car destroyed by the Mexican roofers firing a nail gun at them. Just hilarious.

Spent many years going back & forth from Out West to Wisconsin & Chicago, by way of St Lou.
Initially, I just took 44 to 40 through downtown. Once I decided not to tangle with that hectic route and took the 2xx loop. Traffic was terrible, and was when I tried it again. Have always taken the downtown route since. It was kinda bad for a while but they improved it. Sometimes crowded, but if it's late evening, not so bad. Get to go by the arch, get to enjoy crossing the Mississippi.

Recently in Amarillo, things quietly changed. I-27 is about 123 miles or so long and had the exit numbers to show for it. Now, closer to downtown - it ends at I-40 - the exit numbers changed. Instead of being in the 120s, they suddenly jump up to the 650s! I’m sure an extension is planned as they have been talking about that for 30 odd years. But apparently they mean it this time?

Now that is what you call a filibuster.
Even on his death bed Mitch McConnell and the Senate GOP won’t terminate the filibuster to pass the Save America Act.

Zipper is faster and uses more lane space to reduce long lines. And avoids people going to the front of an empty lane to then merge. That last tactic is provoking to those with anger management issues and firearms.
Pro recommendation: Zipper merge just before the the end of one closed lane.

Breaking: Graham Platner Covered Up His Death Head Tattoo With a Rape Head Tattoo
Okay that's probably not true but it caught your attention and Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson have taught me that's all that matters.
Here's some catch-up on the Nazi Rapist.Charles C. W. Cooke
@charlescwcooke 9h It's quite funny that the case for Platner, up until about 15 hours ago, was, "well, yes, he has a Nazi tattoo and a history of saying terrible things and treats women abominably, but on the other hand he's a communist."
Clay TravisPolitico notes the damage that Ro Khanna did to himself by acting as Graham Platner's Rape-Wingman, but to be honest he didn't do any damage to himself, because this ugly gigolo (somehow) had no chance of becoming president in any reality.
@ClayTravis Democrats waited until after the July 4th holiday to code red Platner. They did it with a full week left to force him out of the race. It's diabolical how they are fine with erasing primaries & hand picking new "nominees" all while claiming Republicans will destroy democracy.
The cost of Khanna's Platner alliance Khanna, arguably more than any other national Democrat, provided political cover for the Maine Senate candidate before calling for him to drop out.
In the blast radius from the sexual assault allegations against Graham Platner, few politicians are taking a harder hit than Silicon Valley Rep. Ro Khanna. Khanna, arguably more than any other national Democrat, provided political cover for the renegade Maine Senate candidate. He stood by Platner as he was buffeted by a series of controversies and physically stood with him onstage at a campaign rally in Maine, one day after the New York Times reported on the oysterman's toxic behavior toward former girlfriends. That alliance was severed Monday, after POLITICO reported on allegations that Platner sexually assaulted Jenny Racicot, a woman he once dated. Platner denied the allegation, saying that "any accusation of non-consensual behavior is categorically untrue." But Khanna, who had earlier defended Platner as someone deserving of grace, had had enough.
... But Khanna's [retraction of his support] did not spare him the backlash for being such a steadfast supporter of Platner until this point, despite the Senate candidate's tattoo resembling a Nazi symbol or old offensive online posts. Republicans piled on to Khanna's post, accusing him of hypocrisy, and fellow Democrats were also critical. ... Khanna bet big on Platner as a rising star among progressives,
the wing of the party he has assertively courted in the run-up to a potential 2028 presidential run. For months, he basked in the attention that came with being a prominent surrogate for a buzzy Democrat in a top-tier Senate race. Now, that wager has proven to be a bust. "Ro Khanna will always and forever be the Graham Platner defender" said one California Democratic strategist who was granted anonymity to speak frankly about the developing political dynamics. "I don't think damage control is going to fix the damage he's created by getting himself in the middle of this."
OvertonVideo here. Rep. Debbie Dingell -- the feminist who inherited her permanent House seat from her husband -- still stands by the Humble Oysterfarmer and Part-Time Rapist. Now It Can Be Told: Chris Hayes (Allahpundit's old favorite) and Rachel Maddow admit that when Graham Platner promised there would be no further scandals coming, he was lying.
@overton_news 18h
Scott Jennings just blew up the Democrats' favorite excuse. They're now claiming Graham Platner wasn't properly vetted, but Jennings wasn't buying it for a second. He reminded the CNN panel that prominent Democrats like Ro Khanna, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and Tim Walz all knew about Platner's past -- and backed him anyway. JENNINGS: "The only thing I disagree with is when she said that he hadn't been vetted." "No, he had been vetted!" "All of the things that have been stated, it was all out in the public and people like Ro Khanna, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Tim Walz, the Bulwark, Pod Save America, all these people came together to overlook it all, to explain it all, to rationalize it all." "He was vetted. People knew all these things and a whole bunch of Democrats in Maine showed up and voted for him anyway. And a bunch of donors from around the country sent him money anyway." "I agree with Alyssa's question. What changed? Why are you bailing on Graham Platner now?!" "You already signed off on Nazi tattoo, a self-described communist, somebody who's had rape fantasies, somebody who has been on a social media platform known as a playground for predators." "And on and on and on and on and on." "And the difference between this accuser and the previous one is simply this, she's a liberal. It's okay, I guess, for Democrats that their candidate's assault conservatives." "But he broke into someone's house. And apparently, according to her, raped her. And because her politics are correct, they can now believe it." "All of this whole thing is disgusting. But to say that they hadn't vetted him, or that they didn't know about all this is totally false." "They knew it and they signed up for it, and I don't know why they're backing away from this scumbag today when they had already signed off on all that other crazy behavior."
Western Lensman
@WesternLensman Chris Hayes and Rachel Maddow say that they really didn't buy it when Platner said there wouldn't be more scandals coming. Now that it's not politically damaging to Democrats to say it.
Leftists extremely vain and insecure fake-intellectuals -- so much so that they will immediately admit to a grave moral sin, like lying in support of a rapist, rather than admit that they didn't know something or were duped. Though in this case, I do believe them -- they knew he was a rapist. They didn't care. The Party of #BelieveAllWomen:
RNC Research
@RNCResearch Virginia Democrat Elaine Luria says the accusations against Graham Platner are a "shiny new thing to scare people."
This takes balls: Abby Philips, CNN's ludicrous DNC shill, thinks that other leftists have to apologize for their shilling for Platner:
Steve GuestAs someone pointed out, Abby Philips and CNN could have interviewed Lyndsey Fifield -- but they didn't. They were part of the cover-up.
@SteveGuest Watch Abby Phillip on CNN demand "soul searching" from people who trashed Lyndsey Fifield as a GOP operative -- until this accusation of rape emerged against Graham Platner. Phillip calls out Democrat media figures including Krystal Ball, Matt Stoller, Jack Cocchiarella, and Emma Vigeland for their past full-throated support of Nazi sex pest Graham Platner.
Marjorie Taylor Greene went on The View to defend Graham Platner, and to claim that Jews were behind the rape charges.
MTG deletes her original post excusing allegations that Graham Platner raped someone, to then make it about Israel.

Who is paying her for this? pic.twitter.com/EfbtlkGKMm
MS NOW's Mika Brzezinski appeared to cast doubt on a bombshell allegation of rape against Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner, repeatedly pressing one of the journos who broke the story for "concrete evidence." She grilled Politico reporter Adam Wren over his report in which Platner's ex-girlfriend Jenny Racicot accused the candidate of breaking into her home and raping her almost five years ago -- instantly triggering calls from prominent Dems for Platner to exit the Maine race.... "My question to you, given the very high standards Politico has before they write something like this and publish it -- what aspects of this story brought it to the level of publishable?" Brzezinski asked Tuesday morning, noting there was no police report or legal filing about the rape allegation. Wren replied that he and his colleague Jessica Piper reviewed email exchanges between Racicot and her therapist, in whom she confided "in almost real-time;" talked to people who Racicot spoke to after the alleged rape; and spent a lot of time talking to Racicot across multiple interviews. "We asked her why she didn't file a police report and she described sort of the insular nature of where she lives in her corner of Maine that she shares with Graham Platner and she, you know, debated sort of how to handle this, and we found ultimately the number of corroborating pieces of evidence to support her story in a way that we could report it," Wren added. Brzezinski pressed: "So, what are some of those corroborating pieces of evidence? ... Any conversations with Graham Platner at the time ... do you have that? What do you have that actually connects this literally? Graham Platner to raping this victim?"Obviously she never questioned the leftwing media for running absurd rape stories about Donald Trump and Bret Kavanaugh. But now? She's gonna want to see bruises.
"Yeah, she reached out to him the day after via Instagram and essentially told him that, you know, she didn't want to hear from him again," Wren said. Brzezinski jumped in: "But you were able to see those DMs [Direct Messages]?" "She, uh, tried to recover those DMs. We were not able to review those DMs but she described them to us. We also -- long before he was a political candidate -- we saw her essentially explain to others that he was in her words 'consensually careless,'" Wren said. But Brzezinski pressed again: "Right, but were you able to see the interactions between Graham Platner and this alleged victim? Did you actually physically see them? Did she produce them for you?" "She attempted to uncover them, but was unable to," Wren said. MS NOW co-anchor Willie Geist then questioned Wren about the timing of the story, noting that it was published exactly one week from the deadline when Platner would have to drop out of the race in order for Dems to select a new candidate to take his place. Wren said Racicot "wanted Maine voters to sort of have the full story here."
At the end of the interview, Brzezinski again leaned into Wren for more concrete evidence that helped Politico publish the story. "So Adam, in closing, obviously this is a huge political bombshell story, a story that might -- probably will -- lead to the end of Graham Platner's campaign, and I'm going back to the decision to publish, and I'm curious what concrete evidence ... took this story beyond Graham Platner saying this was consensual, Jenny Racicot saying this was not consensual?" Brzezinski asked. "What took it over the edge and had you and your editors decide to publish, of course, kind of an earthquake in Democratic politics? What was the piece of evidence or pieces of evidence that made you sure of this?" she added. Wren repeated that Racicot had confided in several people about the alleged rape long before Platner was a political candidate and shared screenshots of messages and emails with the reporters. Brzezinski cut him off, saying, "Right, well those are the things I said. What is the actual -- is there evidence between her and him, evidence of a crime? Because he's being accused of rape. What put this over the edge? Because he says he didn't and he has people on his side who say he didn't. She says I did and I'm trying -- what's the throughline?"
Emily ZanottiUltra leftwing and Jewish propagandist Michelle Goldberg spins her prior support of the Nazi rapist. You see, she was just swept up in this fat piece of shit's "political charisma." You know -- the same way Hitler's supporters were overwhelmed by his Aryan charisma and hypnotic blue eyes. Jennifer Sey tells her to find a line of work where judging character isn't a required skill.
@emzanotti 5h To me, the bigger NYT sin, was watching them tell Lyndsey that they had other women on the record and that her story would be "one of several" and "not the lead," in order to, I guess, deceive her into going public, only to drop the other women's accounts and make the story a catch-and-kill. When we talked about me going to the NYT to substantiate her story, Lyndsey told me the Times had five women willing to talk. She was the only conservative. What happened to the other three?

The 'rape' allegation against Julian Assange was that he didn't tell her the condom slipped off. (His defense was that he didn't notice either, which is something of a compliment to her about how transporting the experience was, and I have no reason to disbelieve it.) I wonder, out of those who would excuse Platner now, how many still condemn Assange for less?

Why would someone who didn’t want to be known as someone’s rape victim make allegations when Platner is most popular? Hint: $$$$ The only question in my mind is whether it was the republicans or the corporate democrats.
It’s all a political hatchet job with cash from Fox News and other right wing donors to this “victim”
Yeah, I'm sure this has been super fun for her. I think she made a hard choice, and now she has deal with people like you for the rest of her life for "not defending" Platner.
Establishment Democrats or their donors would absolutely pay to sink a populist or progressive Democrat.
I really liked GP feel embarrassed because I told everyone about his candidacy, but in the end it’s not about a cult of personality, It’s about ideas. On to the next person who can move it forward. Graham DID do a lot of good, but he’s not the right person to go on.

It's the corporate Democrats.
They're doing this because they couldn't defeat Platner at the ballot box. The people of Maine gave him a 72% victory, and the corporate Democrats simply cannot have someone who opposes genocide in the Senate.
Why even support Democrats anymore? Anyone who joins them as an outsider just becomes another paid stooge.
Just let it burn. Start a new party, and deny entrance to any Democrat who still voices support for any corporate Democrat office holder.

Democrats in Maine are not coming out of this mess with a win.
Platner on the ballot will convince the 40% of the state that are registered independent that Collins is fine, she brings home the bacon.
Platner forced off the ballot will do nothing for the registered independent question (it's just too chaotic, might as well go with the devil I know, Collins) while pissing off the base which has had a series of steals from nearly hometown hero Bernie by the establishment in recent history.
That's on top of the fact that Collins probably was going to win anyway, even if the Democrat primary had been boring.

Obama's tonal quality is very attractive. (Obviously, what he says is generally totally bs.). I thought that when I first heard him speak at whatever convention that was' "he has the voice people will listen to." . Its modernity low and smooth. No other candidate that I can remember since Reagan has had such a good tone to his voice. Rubio also has a pretty good tonal quality- conveying he is relaxed and in control.
I wish our candidates studied voice more- I think it conveys a lot and sways more than a few voters.

I don't think Iran collected much money from their oil sale waivers.
I don't believe any of their tankers made port, so no one can accept them now and still be part of the US banking system and its affiliates. So, Iran can't get paid.

We ended the oil waivers on Iran oil.
None of their tankers have actually docked, so no one can actually buy the oil and still partake in the global banking system. Iran can't refill them assuming they can sell them to China at $30 per barrel or even get them back to Bandar Abbas at all.
I'm not clear if Iran made any money at all from the whole MOU thing.
And I was promised that they'd get an instant wire of $300 billion the second they signed.

I dated a girl from Maine in college. Definitely a 1. Also kind of weird. But in a goofy cute kind of way. She had a rocking body but never showed it off, wore baggy jeans which were in style at the time.
I looked her up one day many years later and she runs some non profit. And wears those hideous glasses. You know the ones.

Hey, Ace! 👉🏼 'NBC News, Meet The Press,1 hour ago, YouTube - 'I've had concerns for months:'. Rep. Dingell calls for Platner to drop out of Senate Race.
First she's been very clear. She's been uncomfortable since May. And she wants someone for Maine who can standup to the President and not be a rubber-stamp.
But not a sexual predator. And she's been yelled at for her stance but now people are coming around.
Then, 'You know we've got a sexual predator in the White House and I'm concerned about that."
There's more.
And she may be sorta trying to hold her ground but she's waivering. Guess enough intimidation will do that in the US House.

As mechanization flowed into industry the value of indentured servants, and apprentice, and mainly slave was moving toward ZERO, the real value of labor vs. technology.
So 1619 says that Slaves built the country.
So indentured servitude was common, got many people the passage to America.
It is impossible to own (feed, clothe, etc) any group of slaves over about 2 or 3 until the trade with the Old Country made it worth the value.
The net worth of min wage workers for every company in the US is near ZERO as the average pay of 40 hour employees is around $33/hour.

YouTuber Joshua Carr: Pudgy Nazi Pussy Tucker Carlson Has Hired a Company to Copyright-Strike Any Channel Using His Clips to Critique Him
Joshua CarrIs this true? I don't know yet. I suspect it is. Carr does provide a notice of a copyright claim from "SuperBam," who would be acting on their client's behalf. He also says that there are "dozens" of reports from other people making the same complaint.
@Joshua_the_car Tucker Carlson hired a company this week to demonetize any political commentator talking about him. I've had 8 videos claimed so far this week. Every single one is protected under fair use. Make no mistake, Tucker won't win a single copyright dispute. He's doing this to discourage future commentators from talking about him. He's been independent for years and he's never done this before. Why now? Because he sees the power independent voices have, and that we are showing Americans the truth of who he is. As he tries to take over the GOP he knows better than anyone that controlling the narrative is paramount. @ArtyTrolls @paramounttactcl @LauraLoomer

Now, you work for Salem Media Group, which has financial entanglements with the Israeli Ministry. Can we discuss that and how it might result in you going after voices critical of Israel and Zionism?
Dan BonginoAnd now Tuq'r just doesn't want to talk about it. He could prove that Trump covered up his own assassination and that his frequent enemy Dan Bongino is lying, but, get this: he doesn't feel like it right now.
@dbongino
I'm granting nepo baby @TuckerCarlson permission to publish the text messages he claims to have stating that I told him "President Trump shut down the investigation into Butler." Those were his words, and he should show he has a pair of balls and publish them.
Spoiler alert 🚨: He won't. Because they don't exist. I've already shown you the messages which say the opposite. I'm really sorry if you're still dumb enough to fall for this Times Square "Rolex" salesman's act.
🚨Tucker Carlson, after being debunked by @dbongino, is now claiming he can expose the former FBI Deputy Director for lying about Trump shutting down the Butler investigation.
— Nathan Livingstone (MilkBarTV) (@TheMilkBarTV) July 2, 2026
He won't, though, because.... "I don't want to."
Either Tucker Carlson is a completely incompetent… pic.twitter.com/d2hDC6TzWg
Nathan Livingstone (MilkBarTV)
@TheMilkBarTV Imagine a journalist so committed to the truth, who claims to have evidence that the President of the United States shut down the investigation into his own assassination attempt -- and that the former FBI Deputy Director lied about it. But they refuse to publish that evidence because they: "don't want to." Tucker Carlson is that journalist.
Nathan Livingstone (MilkBarTV)
@TheMilkBarTV Tucker appears to have talked himself into a corner... 23 days since @dbongino exposed Tucker Carlson for falsely claiming Bongino texted him, while deputy director of the FBI, that Trump had stopped the Butler investigation - backing it up with receipts of their actual texts. 4 days since Bongino gave Tucker permission to release every single text between them after Tucker claimed Bongino was the one preserving the messages, but that Tucker "didn't want to" release them - despite previously pointing to those texts as evidence for his original allegation. I'm sure Tucker is hoping this will just blow over. Because it appears he made the whole thing up - and has now been completely called out.
Dan Bongino
@dbongino As we all anxiously wait for Tucker to produce a single piece of evidence for any of his psychotic claims, I sense a growing rage amongst his shrinking number of groupies.
They must know by now that they've been played. They've invested their time in a circus clown who has backed himself in a corner. So rather than admit they got played, they rage out and claw at their own faces while emptying themselves into their pull-up diapers. It's a sad thing to witness. The doomers and grifters are all being exposed.
Tuq'r has, of course, joined Candace Owens in insisting that Tyler Robinson is innocent and that Charlie Kirk was killed by Mysterious Forces we may never uncover, but smart money says it's The Jews.
What you did to Charlie Kirk, Tucker, is unforgivable. We'll never forget. The sun will set on your evil, though. You should remember that part. https://t.co/SQg6Lt6HhR

They get clearly meritless challenges to their vids all the time. They win all the time, but — get this — normally the challenged vid is demonitized or even pulled during the challenge.
Since vids are like movies, in that they quickly ‘drop off’ in sales/clicks, having a vid demonetized for even a few days is a real hit.
This challenge procedure is a license for bitter and vindictive cocksuckers to harass YTers and hurt their wallets. I have no doubt Fucker Carlson is doing this.

There is a reason that a lot of people to make money on YT churn out crappy AI content and so much of it that copyright strikes cannot get all of them. I think Fil from Wings of Pegasus noted that in one of his investigations that some dude in the Far East kept churning out masses of fake music videos that even if struck, the same video popped up under another YT name.
Same thing going on with Amazon on a lot of products--literally Chicom and Turd World copies that violate trademark are literally whack a mole for legitimate companies to remove.

Actually you can, it just will be overruled but in the meantime, it gets tied up in the murky YT appeal system and demonetized. You can complain about all sorts of content, etc. not only copyright violations. That can lead to an actual strike of the post but often is just demonetizing the clip. Those that make their money from that are affected but there are ways around even that.
Occasionally you will have some YT comment provider complain about this or that organized campaign to demonetize, remove or even block content. Rick Beato is pretty open about it and names names when that happens.

===========
The trick is don't 'like' any of them. Media, including conservative media, are actors playing parts to the degree that you never really know them and what they actually think about something. It is simply a hook to reel you in to watch, read, or listen so that you are a target for advertising, selling you subscriptions, or persuasion.
Same goes for almost all politicians--they play a part telling you what you want to hear in public and then do what they do in private.
If you know them personally, off air, and in their social network, then you might have a glimpse of the real person behind the mask. But that is relatively rare.

Actually you can, it just will be overruled but in the meantime, it gets tied up in the murky YT appeal system and demonetized. You can complain about all sorts of content, etc. not only copyright violations. That can lead to an actual strike of the post but often is just demonetizing the clip. Those that make their money from that are affected but there are ways around even that.
Occasionally you will have some YT comment provider complain about this or that organized campaign to demonetize, remove or even block content. Rick Beato is pretty open about it and names names when that happens.

The exact same thing happened with howard stern. When he had his radio show in NYC before 9/11 Trump was his favorite guest. He would call Trump on the phone at least once or twice a week to chat with him and his ratings would skyrocket during those shows.
Once stern got really famous and started raking in millions a year he turned on Trump quick.

The latest example of copyright abuse. I'm all for copyright protecting the original author from having his work stolen by some else, especially if that someone else profits from it (but not protecting the great-great-great....grandchildren of said original author).
But this is getting ridiculous. Someone puts some video of youtube claiming something is stupid (ie space is fake and the earth is flat), and then copyright striking someone who uses their video to show how stupid their arguments are.
There needs to be some system where the frivolous copyright claims are punished severely. Make a bad faith copyright claim, you get whacked big time.

Its a failure, frankly, of our judicial system. Its not even a new problem. You could always quote any publication - even just to mock or ridicule them. As long as you properly attributed the source.
As well as a failure of Big Media. Because YouTube and such will tell you they have to respect such things because of their own liability. That is a flat fucking lie. Its a lie when its told here.
A Common Carrier has no liability. But that's the point. Everbody online now wants to flex and edit and ban. Then lie and say "they have to".

I noticed that during Artemis, searching for some images. The amount of AI generated slop images that popped up was mind blowing. Pure fake nonsense claimed to be real photos. I had no idea what the profit would be from doing that. Then I learned how Facebook makes money....

My ewetub algorithm was kind of hilarious. It got very busty for a bit. But the algorithm seems to drift. Now it is drifting to a lot of Warhammer and health videos even though I still click on a remarkable rack. I think eqetub tries to not suggest that kind of content as much unless it is the ONLY thing you look at.

Where Is Mitch McConnell? Some Demand "Proof of Life"
He's as publicly visible as Ayatollah Khamenei's gay dead son.
Donald Trump's most vocal supporters are demanding that Mitch McConnell's office provide proof that the Kentucky lawmaker is still alive after he disappeared amid a three-week hospitalization. McConnell, 84, was admitted to a hospital on the morning of June 14 following a medical emergency at his Washington, DC home. Paramedics responded to a report of an unconscious person believed to have suffered a 'cardiac arrest,' with a medic reporting 'CPR in progress' at the address. The senator was not named on the call, and his office has never confirmed what sent him to the hospital, saying only that he is receiving 'excellent care.' The speculation surrounding McConnell has intensified in recent days because his aides have refused to release new information regarding his condition or whether he will return to work as the GOP fights to maintain their razor thin majority. Trump conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer claimed that an unnamed White House source told her that McConnell is in a 'vegetative state' or 'brain dead' and is 'not coming back' to work. DC outlet The Hill even accidentally published an obituary of the senator which was swiftly deleted. A screenshot spread on X, and a copy reportedly stayed live on Yahoo News. Independent journalist Desirée Townsend confirmed Loomer's allegations: 'I have heard the same thing from my sources for days. At this point, I am at the hospital for when they eventually decide to cut him off of life support and move his body.' As online chatter continued to grow about McConnell's health condition, MAGA activists like Breitbart editor Matthew Boyle wrote on X, 'McConnell's staff should produce proof of the senator's condition one way or another right now.'Is this true? I don't know. What makes me think it's false is that this retard thinks it's true:
I spoke with Marjorie Taylor Greene this AM in NYC:
— Jacob Wasserman (@jacob_wass) July 7, 2026
- She slams Republicans for not speaking out on Mitch McConnell
- Calls McConnell’s wife, Elaine Chao, a “possible commuist spy”
- Wants Thomas Massie to run for McConnell’s seat if it becomes vacant pic.twitter.com/IucQjh0eKL
Sen. Mitch McConnell's wife, Elaine Chao, was in China three days after her 84-year-old husband was hospitalized on June 14. Chao, who married McConnell in 1993, met with Chinese Vice President Han Zheng on June 17 in Beijing, according to Chinese state media service Xinhua. The report, which was also published by the Embassy of the People's Republic of China in the United States of America, claims Han "urged further efforts to strengthen" the relationship between the U.S. and China during the meeting. "Chao said maintaining stable U.S.-China relations serves the interests of all parties, and expressed the willingness to continue making efforts to promote practical cooperation and people-to-people exchanges between the United States and China," read the report, which was accompanied by a picture of Han and Chao.Rasmussen Reports says that claim is mostly false: Chao was already in China when McConnell suffered his health event.
Rasmussen Reports
@Rasmussen_Poll Good Morning ! Elaine Chao was already IN China when Mitch was getting CPR. The real question is, why didn't she immediately fly back to DC instead of meeting with the Chinese VP 5 days later? And who exactly did John Thune speak with on June 15th? June 12 - Wife Elaine Chao in China at University
June 14 - DC - McConnell in "full cardiac arrest," w/CPR
June 15 - John Thune tells Politico he spoke with Mitch
June 17 - Wife Elaine Chao in China w/Chinese VP

I spoke to my old friend Mitch McConnell this morning, the senior Senator from Kentucky. He’s still recovering in the hospital. We talked for just shy of 20 minutes … about IRAN, UKRAINE, the unfolding situation in MAINE, my visit to the TR Presidential Library, and even a little bit of Senate history. I told him we want to see him back at work as soon as possible.

They changed the law in Kentucky years ago. They have to have a special election to replace him now.

Fascinating.
Mitch McConnell is apparently well enough to spend 20 minutes discussing global geopolitics, but somehow not well enough to record a 30-second video reassuring the people of Kentucky, and the world, that he’s okay.
Also, his office of roughly 40 staff members still can’t provide a meaningful update?
Nothing about why Elaine Chao traveled to China to meet with senior CCP officials just three days after he was hospitalized?
And we’re all just supposed to accept this at face value?
None of this inspires confidence. If anything, this post raises more questions than it answers.

Not so fun fact about Ryder: After she was famous, a young girl from Ryder's home town was kidnapped during a sleepover with friends in the girl's own bedroom.
Ryder showed up to do whatever she could to get the word out about the little girl. Ryder didn't bring an entourage and she didn't make it all about herself.
Tragically, the little girl was murdered. But I respect Ryder for trying and the way she did it.

A Minneapolis couple accused of racially abusing two Somali women house hunting now claim they were victims of anti-white slurs.
Brian and Jen Wagner were caught in a viral video arguing with two Somali sisters in Shakopee, a suburb southwest of the Minnesota capital, last month.
The sisters, who have since been identified only by their first names - Hamdi and Sumaya - claimed they were confronted by the couple while walking through the neighborhood.
Video footage they captured and shared online showed Brian telling them: 'Nobody wants you here. Not a single person here wants you. I can smell you from here.'
Speaking with Alpha News, Brian said that what was shared to social media was only part of what had unfolded during the confrontation last month.
'The public saw a shortened, selective clip showing my reaction, but not the events that led up to it. Before that video began, racial slurs were directed at me', he said.
According to Brian, the sisters called him a 'f****** white cracker', as well as a 'redneck' before they started recording him. A 'cracker' is an offensive term for a white person.

Same one that Jimmy the Peanut held when he negotiated with N Korea to prevent them from getting a nuke (which of course, failed), then handed the agreement over to Bubba Clinton and dared him to throw it out. From what I understand, Clinton was furious that Carter had boxed him into a corner.

Think about that, it's not "do the people of Kentucky have a Senator representing them?" it's, "Mitch deserves the job as long as he wants it regardless of whether he can perform the duties"

According to New York Times reporter Catie Edmonson, a spokesperson for U.S. Sen. John Barrasso of Wyoming said the senator had spoken with McConnell on July 7 for about 20 minutes.
Regardless of his mortality, he is in no position to represent the people of Kentucky, and they should be vocal about that. Toss him unceremoniously out the door. The self-importance is ridiculous.

Sure, he lied and says it's because the statue of limitations has run on election crimes but:
1. Conspiracy is an on going crime, and they have 100% conspired to cover up the crime even to today
2. DOJ never said it was only 2020 crimes, but that they wanted the names of those who worked 2020, because
3. They have relevant info about crimes they are investigating.
This is basically the judge saying they can't investigate a murder because limitations had passed on the guy they want to subpoena for illegal gambling.
But I really like the implication:
That only those who commit election fraud (GA officials) are allowed to investigate their election fraud.

🚨 HOLY CRAP. President Trump and the U.S. military have just launched STRIKES against Iran while 47 is in Turkey, after the mullahs attacked vessels in the Strait
FAFO IN REAL TIME! 🔥
“U.S. Central Command forces have begun launching a series of powerful strikes against Iran to impose heavy costs for targeting and attacking commercial shipping crewed by innocent civilians in an international waterway.”
“The U.S. strikes are in response to Iranian attacks on three commercial vessels that were transiting the Strait of Hormuz. Iran’s demonstrated aggression was unwarranted, dangerous, and a clear violation of the ceasefire.” 🇺🇸

Day One of Tyler Robinson Preliminary Hearing: Prosecution Detonates Candace Owens' Lie That Robinson Never Set Foot on the Campus
Gator GarHere's video of Tyler Robinson skulking around the campus of Utah Valley University, including video of him walking stiff-legged because he was concealing a rifle down his pant-leg.
@gatorgar It appears the prosecution has video from UVU showing Tyler Robinson approaching the campus, entering the building, reaching the roof, and taking the shot. We won't know for sure until it goes to trial, but we do know UVU has cameras everywhere and that they provided the footage to investigators. Going to be hard to refute that folks.
Here's video of Tyler Robinson (or someone who looks a lot like him) taking aim with the rifle shortly before Kirk was shot. Remember, Cavernous Nostrils and her "Mommysleuths" have insisted for a year that this rifle could not have caused the wound to Charlie Kirk and that the actual murder weapon was either a concealed handgun fired by a TPUSA staffer (under orders from Israel, of course) or an "exploding microphone." And by the way, the microphone plainly did not explode. It was on video, and nothing happens with the microphone. But Cavernous Nostrils and her Mommysleuths still insist the "exploding microphone" is a possible murder weapon. Anything but the rifle Tyler Robinson is seen on video preparing for a sniper shot.
🚨Candace Owens' conspiracy slop is IMMEDIATELY EXPOSED on Day 1 of Tyler Robinson's preliminary hearing.
— Nathan Livingstone (MilkBarTV) (@TheMilkBarTV) July 7, 2026
Candace Owens, repeatedly the last nine months: "Tyler Robinson has never even set foot on UVU's campus."… pic.twitter.com/BynGLsHeJT
Liz WheelerHere, Cavernous Nostrils insists to low-IQ moron Shawn Ryan that Tyler Robinson wasn't even on the campus, and is a "total patsy." She says "they get look-alikes and get everyone to wear the same outfit" to fake Robinson's apparent presence on the campus. Liz Wheeler also alerts us that the Candace/Tucker conspiracy zombies are already distorting a prosecution statement -- the prosecution said we didn't release video of Robinson taking the shot. The Candace/Tucker communist Nazis take this to mean there is no video of the shot. That's not what they said.
@Liz_Wheeler
Tyler Robinson is on video on campus four times. (So, he was there.) Medical examiner's report says cause of Charlie's death was a gunshot wound to the neck. (So, not an exploding mic from Israel.) TPUSA turned over HD video footage from their cameras of the shooting to law enforcement. (So, the videographer did not steal the footage to hide some secret reality about the murder.) The lead investigator testified that their big tip came when a person -- Tyler Robinson -- turned himself in to Washington County police. (So, he did turn himself him.) Access to the rooftop is easy, a staircase open to the public and a small guardrail that can be hopped over to gain entry to the gravel rooftop. (So, no Spider-Man ability necessary to get to the roof). Defense actually DOES have access to the state's discovery. They've filed ZERO motions to compel because they are satisfied with state cooperation on this. (So, no fed conspiracy to deny defense exculpatory evidence.) No bullet casing on the roof? So what? Bolt action rifles don't auto reject casings if only one shot is fired. The casing was found inside the rifle with three other unfired rounds. (So, not a "set up" framing Tyler Robinson's rifle.) Tyler Robinson was laughing in court. (So, not distraught about "false allegations.) What is the defense here? A mass conspiracy of Israel, Egypt, France, the U.S. Military, Charlie's former security, Erika Kirk, Cabot Philips, Kash Patel, the FBI, the ATF, Utah police, the judge, and TPUSA all in on the plot together... only without a SHRED of evidence implicating any of them? If you believe that, you need to set down your phone, immediately go to Confession, pray in humility for wisdom and discernment, and start reading a rigorous curriculum of the classics to train your mind to think rather than be swayed by cultish emotional groupthink. I say this with love because otherwise you have surrendered the mind and soul God gifted you to the Great Deceiver.
Liz WheelerMeanwhile: Me-Again Kelly has refused to call out Candace Owens' year-long op to get Tyler Robinson acquitted in the murder of Charlie Kirk because she believes it was all a Jewish-Mormon-Egyptian-French Intel-Fedlsop-Bee Cult conspiracy (no really) that involves a suspicious number of people on the campus wearing maroon shirts to identify themselves to other members of the Jewish-Mormon-Egyptian-French Intel-Fedlsop-Bee Cult conspiracy. No, really -- three men were wearing maroon shirts so that means they're elite special forces sent by some country (Israel) to kill Charlie Kirk.
@Liz_Wheeler You're about to see MASSIVE fake news about an out of context quote from the Tyler Robinson hearing. Here's the TRUTH. The prosecution did NOT say they don't have video of footage of Tyler Robinson firing the shot that killed Charlie Kirk. What actually happened... The prosecution was asked if the compilation video that was released to the media today showing Tyler Robinson on campus four times on 9/10 included footage of Robinson firing the shot. To which the prosecution answered no. Very big difference. Nonetheless you're about to hear, "omg the prosecution doesn't HAVE video of the shot I WONDER WHY HMMM ISRAEL ERIKA FED SLOP" peddled by the liars who want you to buy their evil baseless false allegations and so need you to ignore the truth. Be forewarned.
🚨Candace Owens clocked it in real time: muscular men, alone, wearing maroon, not together, not talking—just present when Charlie Kirk got hit.

Bonchie
@bonchieredstate Yeah, I'm very much doubting the "I care about Charlie, I care about his family" part given you kept praising the psycho trying to destroy his widow with malicious lies and even gave credence to her conspiracy slop.
Ryan SaavedraBonus: Candace Owens spoke with fellow homosexual Milo Yiannopolis and called the American Revolution "fake and gay," denying the conventional history about a determination for self-rule and against taxation without representation and championing instead a -- get this -- conspiratorial narrative, in which the Revolution was fomented by -- get this -- Jews. Well, Jews ("B'nai B'rith," the biggest Jewish humanitarian organization) and the Freemasons.
@RyanSaavedra You cared about Charlie so much that you repeatedly praised the demonic psychopath who has been attacking his wife and you have refused to call out her lies aimed at destroying his wife and the organization he built.
Candace Owens and Milo call the founding of America "fake and gay!"

She believes literally every single conspiracy theory. This History Buff also thinks July 4, 1776 was the date of the Boston Tea Party. Can we not do this again in the future? That is, when a minority makes noises that maybe they're slightly conservative, can we not do exactly what we claim what only leftists do and overpromote them to the highest levels based on nothing but their race and gender? I would love if we could stop doing that.

@SethDillon She lies, then lies about whether she lied. Every response she receives just gives her more opportunity to dishonestly smear the people responding to her dishonest smears. There's no end to it, no correcting the record, because the lies, and the harm they cause, are the point.

@ColdblodedChrit Yeah, it doesn't make much sense! ... Remember when Candace Owens blamed the maroon hoodie guys... or the French Legion? Then the U.S. military and Donald Trump. Or the bees. Or the Egyptian planes. Or the exploding mic. Now she's back on the exploding mic... while saying Charlie was definitely shot from the front. Do you remember? Do you remember how she changes her target every single day -- who to dehumanize and character assassinate next? Yeah... you remember. It's crazy how these Candace supporters are razor-sharp critics on everything *except* Candace. But when it's her? Excuse after excuse after excuse. Go ahead, keep scrolling...

Charlie's death.
When Charlie died.
FFS......He was ASSASSINATED in broad daylight. He didn't die. He was brutally murdered in cold blood.
Lessening it by just saying he died doesn't help ANYONE get past it. Admitting there is evil in the world and that evil does evil things accentuates the good versus evil battle that we're ACTUALLY experiencing right now.

So what to do? You can't enter it to shore it up, as how the heck do you shore up a 40 story building? cribbing or floor jacks only move the load down to the next floor. Trusses might work, but you would need so many, the added weight would cause trouble.
Start at the bottom with full floor supports and work your way up?
I guess you could start throwing shit out the window to reduce the load. Or maybe get some really big cranes and pull up on it from the top. Cranes big enough to do anything probably don't exist.
Man, I have no idea what to do. Maybe shore up the bendy columns first and then at the bottom with full support, and then start at the top deconsructing. This is going to be very expensive.

Reportedly, she came from a very strict Catholic Family.
IIRC, that was one of the reasons proffered why the family didn't allow an autopsy.

There are so many cases where if the accused was a habitual rapist/criminal, the prosecution could not get their past put into the record or evidence. But they can get sound bites of Charlie's views, taken way out of context, into the record?
The defense has nothing, it is open and shut IMO that he killed Charlie. So the defense might try and put Charlie's LGBT views on trial instead of the assassin. I can't blame them for trying, they have nothing else.

A woman’s report of being sexual assaulted on Stanford University’s campus — sparking fear among the university community and prompting students to change their routines — has been deemed fabricated after investigators found the attack never happened.
Stanford’s Department of Public Safety (DPS) launched what it described as a “thorough investigation” into the alleged March 29 assault near the intersection of Santa Ynez Street and Mayfield Avenue after a female jogger reported being sexually assaulted by an armed man, according to The Stanford Daily.
Authorities have now concluded the crime did not actually occur, Stanford PR Director Charlene Gage told the outlet.
Gage said the same woman reported a second alleged sexual assault on April 5 that investigators likewise determined did not happen based on what she described as “strong evidence.”

As a member of the "Trans Mafia", Tyler Robinson could have been receiving financial assistance, intelligence, and materials from the SPLC. The SPLC investigates, tracks, and combats antisemitism as part of its broader mission to dismantle white supremacy and monitor domestic hate groups. Therefore, they are Jew Lovers who sometimes finance domestic terrorism and anti-semitism. You know, sort of like being a dentist and giving the kids rock candy as a treat.
So, it's entirely possible that this was a Jewish Op financed by the SPLC.

Candace is mental and needs electroshock therapy or a padded cell in a straight jacket with meds. Me Again is all about the clicks and $$$ as is Nostrils.
I won't watch the shooting as I am not a horrible person. The nutcase they caught right away was known by LEO for threatening fake bombs going back to 9/11 for attention. He should be Candace's roomie in the asylum.
It was not hard to follow the breadcrumbs, Candace. At all. I don't even have X and saw the ghey Furry Nation. He admitted it, again.
Every bit of the defense trying to not let the State produce evidence was shot down by the judge yesterday. All.
It will go to trial and I hope he gets the firing squad. Then Candace can camp out by the prison and weep and have a hunger strike or something. Maybe wearing a furry outfit in her grief and loyalty.
I do wonder about her poor children.

Well, some people think there is a significant difference between ugly and repulsive. I find Greta repulsive. Because she is repulsive to me, I cannot help but find her aesthetically displeasing in the extreme. Some people can sort that out. They can look at a person and find aesthetic features pleasing on a that person even though they are absolutely awful people. Once I know you suck, you 're ugly to me. If I didn't know Grunta as a personality, if she was just in a line up and I knew nothing about her, I'd probably not find her a 1. Does that mean that I find her ugly. No - but my standards for a 1 are actually fairly high.

That is local bad actors in one region, the police being a good old boys network who happen to be mormon. Regular Utah LDS church members who find out are shocked. It goes against LDS morals to not lie and to obey and sustain the law.
And there's NO conspiracy to the Utah flag change. Our state legislators were jealous of how simple and cool other Western state's flags are (the classic Colorado C, the CA bear, Washington's seal, Arizona, etc). they wanted to make the original Utah flag's complicated seal simple. The new flag retains the classic beehive in the original Utah seal, and has a star with points representing the indigenous Utah tribes. The mountains in the flag are tacky and gaudy and junior league, but I can't fix that.

A lot of similarities to the Karmello trial here. Lotta delays, lotta crap talked on the net, lotta idiots saying “oh he’ll get off for this reason or that reason”. And then the real trial starts, it only takes 4 days, defense is incompetent , jury deliberates for 3 hours and says “Guilty, 35 years.”
In spite of all the crap talked, it was always a slam dunk case for the prosecution. But the grifting goes on! Some attorneys are now soliciting donations for a big appeal. There’s no grounds for one, but I’m sure they’ll rake in a lot of cash regardless!

LOL: Narcissist Psychopath Graham Platner Is Refusing to Drop Out of Race Unless He, the Nazi Rapist, Gets to Pick His Successor
Who wouldn't want to be known as the candidate hand-picked by the Nazi Rapist Stalker?
Maine Democratic candidate Graham Platner appears to be holding the Democratic Party hostage -- refusing to drop out after he was accused of rape unless he gets to approve his successor to run for the Senate, The Post has learned. A source familiar with the campaign discussions said Platner, his campaign and political strategist Morris Katz are deliberating about the Maine Democrat dropping out but only if his replacement has the same anti-Israel, left-wing values that he does.The communist Nazi wants to make sure that his successor shares his love of communism and anti-Jewish pogroms.
And the clock is ticking for Dems -- there's a deadline of Monday for Platner to withdraw and be replaced on the ballot, according to state election law. "This vibes to me like a play from Bernie Sanders to slide in Troy Jackson," another source said. The elderly Vermont independent -- who was Platner's biggest backer -- reportedly wants former Maine senate president Jackson to get the Democratic nomination to run against Republican Sen. Susan Collins. Jackson, who appeared with Platner and Sanders at a "Fight the Oligarchy" rally in May, recently came in third in the state's Democratic gubernatorial primary.Update from Washington Nearsider:
Mark Halpern said he's hearing Platner won't step aside unless his wife is his replacement. Posted by: Washington Nearsider: Gotterdammerung

He has all the choice.
Just string the part along for about 5 more days, then they're stuck with him and they turn the editorial direction in his favor.
They start suppressing stories instead of printing them.
He won 72% of the primary vote AFTER the Nazi tattoo and immediately after the first round of sexual assault accusations. Why would the voters who didn't care about this shit back then start caring now?

They don't.
But Platner voters are - by definition - only Maine voters. There are far more voters in play than Maine voters this cycle, and while the DSA may be down with the struggle, I think the DNC is terrified of being painted with the Platner brush. They NEED him gone.
I'm not sure they're going to get what they need though... He's brazened out everything else. Why not this?

And, besides, if he stays in, he has a chance of becoming senator. If he drops out, he gets the Biden treatment.

Graham Platner was recruited to run for Senate by a pair of socialist political operatives, Daniel Moraff and Leanne Fan, who determined that another prospective candidate had “a skeleton in the closet.”
The Wall Street Journal published a rare interview with the duo on Sunday who revealed they paid “a whole chunk of money” to vet Platner but managed to turn up neither his Nazi ink nor many of his Reddit posts.

I've seen conflicting reports on the bottle incident.
There are some who claim to have been there and say it was a water bottle that he -- admittedly angrily -- threw on the ground. It then bounced around and -- maybe -- hit the girl.
I don't think anyone who was actually there is saying he deliberately threw a bottle at the girl. I also don't think she was a staffer. I think she was a fellow caucus member.
Again: Do I care? No, I don't. But I want to correct the record in that this bottle-throwing incident might end up being wind-fart.

ALERT: Illegal firework leaves a California teenager who graduated 3 days earlier handless after it explodes in an In-N-Out parking lot.
Nader Hanna, 18, met up with his twin brother and some friends outside of the Pleasanton In-N-Out Burger to get some food and set off fireworks in the parking lot.
Nader, who said the group of teens had done this several times, said his buddy handed him a tennis-ball-sized firework, which immediately exploded when he lit the fuse.
“It just exploded in my hand the second I lit it… My hand took the whole blow. I looked down, and I didn’t see a hand. It disintegrated.”
His twin brother Ramsey frantically called 911 as his friend, Kevan Mokashi, ran inside the restaurant to seek help with Nader's exploded right hand.

There are some who claim to have been there and say it was a water bottle that he -- admittedly angrily -- threw on the ground. It then bounced around and -- maybe -- hit the girl.
I don't think anyone who was actually there is saying he deliberately threw a bottle at the girl. I also don't think she was a staffer. I think she was a fellow caucus member.

He's a big retard. It won't be hard for the Dems to trick him. They can select a nominee and make him submit to an ax-wielding gay rape by Platner, and then just say "see, Graham? You own him now.

This is the sort of stuff to throw out there and be able to ignore later, to be honest.
The rape survivor? Kept dating him for months. It gets brushed away easily enough by ignoring it, saying it was litigated, and calling it old news.
However, none of this is the "he'll have to leave the state" stuff promised to Halperin a month ago, I don't think. It has to be worse than this, and I suspect Collins has it.

I'm shocked that Jewish Americans still support democrats at all. It's quite clear they've been vehemently antisemetic for a decade or more.
it's because nobody believes he's a Nazi. He had a plausible story for how he got the tattoo, he expressed regret about it, and got it promptly covered. People do believe he's a sexual abuser. The allegations are credible and his only defense is to just deny. You don't understand the difference?

I understand empty-headed partisanship.
"It doesn't matter who he is as long as he votes the way I want him to vote."
It's a rational logic that makes sense.
I just wish we could agree on the principle of it across parties instead of getting holier than thou every time something personal comes up either side.
And it does because there are soft partisans on both sides who are actively engaged by this sort of stuff (Robinson in NC for governor in 2024, for instance).
So, the stupid dance will continue forever.

When Bob Torricelli dropped his Senate campaign and Frank Lautenberg stepped in (illegally)...Lautenberg and Democrats accused Republicans of weaponizing the ethics scandal and dragging the removal to the courts as a distraction from Forrester's own political issues.
They'll do the same with Platner. They will say that Republicans knew of Platner's failings in advance and didn't say anything about them, and didn't have the voter's best interests in mind. The Republicans were "immoraly" waiting to drop them for the regular election. That will be the fundamental campaign for the replacement.

This was a national story for several days. Did his hair look like something popular from the late 30s? Sure but...uh...what does that have to do with being a NAZI?
It came out later he had chemo and his "NAZI hair cut" was the best he could manage while his hair was still growing back in.
But if you expect a random HS kid to know a hair cut is a "NAZI one" how the hell can you argue an adult doesnt know the association of the Death's Head symbol with NAZIs? Its in the damn "Are we the baddies" skit by Mitchell and Webb
Posted by: 18-1 at July 07, 2026 02:45 PM (sKqQm)
Horse. Shit.
Most tattoo parlors will absolutely refuse to do NAZI iconography on clients. You have to intentionally seek out a place that will do this for you.
Additionally, Platner has bragged about how he's a WWII buff. Anyone with even a moderately passing familiarity with the NAZIs will recognize the Totenkopf.
Further, if you're in a place that will do NAZI tattoos, when you're looking through their catalogues, symbols will be grouped together. Even if he somehow didn't recognize the Totenkopf, it would be surrounded by other NAZI iconography. Any sub-retard would be able to see the pattern and think, "This thing is grouped with a bunch of NAZI stuff. Maybe it's a NAZI symbol too!"

This is why I think Platner will be out by Monday. Too many high-profile Democrats trying to court the far left have disavowed the guy to have him stay in. They need him (for their own sakes) to drop out, "of his own free will," and support a more palatable replacement, and they'll do whatever they have to do to ensure it.

Vote Blue No Matter Who stopped being a thing after Mamdani's mayoral race when it was obvious that it was just a thing establishment Democrats said in order to get people to be supportive of their candidates while never genuinely meaning to reciprocating in turn with candidates they didn't like.
It's still very much a thing. There's people with tons of upvotes, today, on these communities (like r / maine) who say they will vote for Platner if he's the nominee and he stays in the race. Heck. His own accuser went on the air and said that her friends would still vote for him. She herself said “we needed more people like him in politics”.

_______
Because according to some (including on our side), Bombdaddy is the single most influential player on the far-left, and for someone like that to call on a fellow far-leftist is noteworthy. It's a big push by even the DSA to get rid of him.
Or, if you believe what I've been saying, Bombdaddy isn't a radical at all, but really just an effete narcist clown who is secretly just another Dumocrap establishment hack (like Bernie). Then his call for Main Nazi to get lost is just another example of the establishment wanting to get rid of him.

The left really are in the early stages of their version of the Tea Party.
But, I suspect that the energy they'll try to capture and policies they'll try to advance are far less broadly appealing as what the Tea Party became: MAGA.
Should be interesting to watch white socialists go to war with Great Society black Democrats about how much Jew hate needs to be the center of the party's messaging.

Additionally, Platner has bragged about how he's a WWII buff. Anyone with even a moderately passing familiarity with the NAZIs will recognize the Totenkopf.
Further, if you're in a place that will do NAZI tattoos, when you're looking through their catalogues, symbols will be grouped together. Even if he somehow didn't recognize the Totenkopf, it would be surrounded by other NAZI iconography. Any sub-retard would be able to see the pattern and think, "This thing is grouped with a bunch of NAZI stuff. Maybe it's a NAZI symbol too!"

You hardly need to be an expert to recognize the Totenkopf - its on every SS Baddie in the cool black uniforms in every WWII movie. It's like in second place after the swastika itself.

Both sides of the intraparty fight are going to blame the other for not gaining the Senate.
The entire party seemed convinced that a clear majority was possible. They'd just need Maine, and North Carolina, and...Texas...and Ohio...and Alaska while holding onto Michigan and Georgia to do it.
And when they lose Maine by a larger margin that 2020, North Carolina comes down to the wire (I'm holding out hope for a Whatley win, but I don't think I'll bet on it), and even Georgia ends up far closer than expected...
Both will treat a couple of major races like the Maine senate as ground zero for what went wrong. And everyone will scream and no one will listen and things will get nasty.
And I will have the lulz.

The Chicago Machine brought the politboro to national politics. Obama was never the real leader. Instead, he was the figurehead.
Then the figurehead leaves power and the politboro remains to fight amongst itself for power.
The party would probably be in healthier shape internally if they'd let Sanders win in 2020. Someone would have exerted control over the apparatus and exerted a vision to trickle down to the rest of the organizations.
Instead...fiefdoms just kept fighting each other with Biden being even more of an empty figurehead than Obama.

________
If you think she's a Popeyes 6 then please don't set anyone up on a blind date.
She was almost universally acknowledged to be a beauty right up until the second she was announced as Helen, and only then did some people on our side suddenly start questioning her looks.
Like the liberals did to Tyra Banks. One of the most successful models of all time. Liberals fawned all over her. But then she committed the ultimate sin in their eyes of being slightly conservative, and then all of a sudden "well, she was never that pretty anyway."

A hard truth is that most nonblacks do not find most black women attractive. They are well outside conventional beauty standards as a result. People can argue about this shit till they are blue in the face but it's never gonna change. Kinda like women's views on short men.
Posted by: bear with asymmetrical balls at July 07, 2026 03:12 PM (28AwC)
I think this is an example of how women have a hard time judging what men find attractive. She checks some boxes. Yes, she has very nice skin. She's slim. She's young. She looks healthy. She'd probably be the prettiest woman in a lot of friend circles. But as far as model or actress level of attractiveness, she's just not there.

Did you see the "hip dip" trolling some men were doing? A "hip dip" is that thing where rather than a nice round curve at a woman's hips, there is a dip toward the hip socket that rises up again and then curves to the waist.
Men were trolling women by saying that "hiplets" need to resign themselves to dating short men because nobody else is willing to date them.
Some women went absolutely bonkers over this.

There, there, big fella. Shhhhh. It's ok. Now, clean yourself up and we'll go play with your Auschwitz train set."

Many years ago, on another forum, a commenter known as Big Gay Steve -- whose identity revolved mostly around being gay -- revealed that many gay Jewish subs have a Nazi fetish. It's a stereotype.
So what I'm saying is, it probably wouldn't even be difficult for them to find someone who would be into it. There may already be some dreaming of breaking into his house, right now.
Don't shoot the messenger. I didn't make human nature like this.

The 70s were full of that.
It's just that it came out in summer of...1977. Star Wars sucked all the air out of the room and gave people more pure fun as an alternative.
Release it in 1976 with a different title, and I think it does well.

Multiple Sources: The disclosure applies this "undisclosed amount" categorization to her income from Beech Hill School, Stones Throw Catering LLC, Frenchman Bay Oyster Company, and the campaign.
Public Scrutiny: Because the candidate's disclosure offered so few specifics about their broader personal finances, media outlets highlighted these broad "undisclosed" listings as a point of missing detail in his public profile.
However, Amy Gertner, wife of Maine U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner, stopped working as an elementary and middle school art teacher in 2024.
She left education due to burnout and began working as a business manager for the Waukeag Neck Oyster Co, which her husband operates.
Further, it's alleged she has been undergoing IVF in Europe in attempts to become pregnant.
Oh, yeah! A great candidate there to take his place. 🤡

To intruder: "Hold on a few minutes while I get my axe, my axe sharpener and Viagra. I'll be right back."
If it was supposed to impress gf and worked she is as cray as he is. Probably wifey as well.

French Court Lifts Ban on Le Pen Standing for Next Presidential -- But Slaps Her With House Arrest That Will Prevent Her from Campaiging Outside Her Home
NIGEL FARAGE RESIGNS HIS SEAT IN PARLIAMENT
First: Nigel Farage has resigned over his personal finances scandal, which I naively assumed was a lot of smoke and partisan nonsense.
Revealed: Nigel Farage secretly funded by convicted criminal The Reform UK leader did not declare benefits including staff, security and housing by crypto-gambler George Cottrell, our investigation reveals
Beege Wellborn writes that Farage could have accepted these payments from "generous friends" if he disclosed them -- but apparently, he did not.
Farage appears to have broken MPs' rules by failing to declare that Cottrell provided funding for his operation in the year before his election. We can also reveal that: • The Reform leader received "in kind" benefits ranging from his back office to his private security, staff, transport and accommodation. • Cottrell recruited and paid three staff to transform Farage's social media presence, producing content on immigration, human rights law and political correctness, and that promoted Reform...Well, this stinks. Though I know a lot of #Based people have been very much against Farage, who they claim is a soft liberal who actively promises to not deport all the migrants. They prefer the Restore movement, led by Rupert Lowe, who led that private inquiry into the grooming gangs. What happens to Reform now? I don't know. Meanwhile, in France, the lawfare against Le Pen continues.
The ban on National Rally leader Marine Le Pen running in the 2027 French presidential election was overturned by the Paris Court of Appeal on Tuesday; however, other aspects of the ruling may still derail her campaign. After over a year of waiting, the appeal court finally issued a ruling on the eligibility of three-time candidate Marine Le Pen to stand again in next year's race to replace Emmanuel Macron. Le Pen faced a five-year ban from standing in any election in Europe over alleged embezzlement of European Union funds intended for her party's use in the EU Parliament, which were claimed to have been used to pay for party operations in France. On Tuesday, the Paris Court of Appeal reduced her sentence from five years' ineligibility to 45 months, with 30 months suspended. This means that from the initial ban issued in March of last year, her 15 months of ineligibility would expire well before the April 18th vote next year, Le Figaro reported. However, the court also handed down a €100,000 fine and sentenced her to three years in prison (suspended) and one year of house arrest with an electronic monitoring tag, which would likely severely limit her ability to campaign. Le Pen had previously stated that she would not run for the presidency if she were subjected to electronic monitoring by the court. She has previously stated that if she is prevented from running, she would back her long-standing deputy, Jordan Bardella, to run in her place.Below, Farage attempts to rally the faithful.

I'm one of them, but I'm not necessarily "against Farage." He was good on Brexit, he's done a great deal for his country, and his voice belongs in whatever coalition emerges on their Right.
But he's a British establishment stalwart, and their immigration policies are at odds with the anti-globalist Brits they attracted with Brexit, and common sense, for that matter. He is absolutely not the guy to purge the country of its Arab poison. It has to be someone else.

Rats run wild enjoying the dirty diaper smorgasbord. And, no one cleans it up. It just festers.

This reminds me of a scene from The Patriot.
Susan, the littlest daughter, refuses to speak to Mel Gibson's character. She does, though, tell Heath Ledger - her older brother - how much she hates her dad and hopes he never comes back.
Heath Ledger tells Mel Gibson that 'Susan says she loves you, and misses you, but understands why you can't be here right now.'
Mitch had a hard time saying anything at all during a scheduled press conference. No way he said all that from his 'I'm brain dead, maybe dead dead' hospital bed.

Posted by: Earl Schlobodowicz at July 07, 2026 01:21 PM (+48wn)
Because ALL commie cocksuckers have the same goal, the total destruction of Western Civilization. And unrestricted illegal immigration inevitably leads to that goal. The commies don't care about building a utopia, that's just the lie they tell moderates to keep them quiet, before they get the chance to shoot those kneeling moderate Kulaks in the back of the neck.
And yes, this is how every leftist commie cocksucker thinks. Including your nice, Birkenstock-wearing neighbor who brings arugula salad to your neighborhood barbeques. Just ask him, he won't bother hiding the fact that he wants to kill people like you.

A Midtown high-rise was dramatically evacuated during the Tuesday morning rush when massive beams in the under-construction building started buckling -- caving in several floors and sending bricks raining down on the street under the crushing strain.
The 38-story commercial building at 235 E. 42nd St. near Second Avenue was cleared around 8:11 a.m. when panicked construction workers spotted two faulty support beams bending and starting to give way on the 21st and 22nd floors, according to the NYPD and FDNY.
The terrifying slow-motion collapse appeared to stem from ongoing construction involving the addition of at least 10 floors to the building, which is being converted from offices to apartments, sources said.

He's not resigning in shame or becuase he did something scandal-worthy. He's "resigning" and then immediately running for re-election to the same seat, merely t prove that the scandal i a nothing-burger. He presumes (and he's probably right) that he'll easily win re-election, and with that get a fresh stamp of approval that the public does'tt care about the "scandal,' and he can thus "put it behind him."
Truth is, the scnadal is very weak and ridiculous. He didn[t receive ahy gifts when he was actually in parliament -- he just got some "in-kind support" (transpaprtation, etc.) from some rich dude while Farage was a private citizen, which is noot illegal or scandalous. But because of obtuse election laws, some of the in-kind support happened within a year of Farage later getting elected, so therefore he could be deemed to have "not reported" it. Very weak. He's holding the new election to show the world that the public doesn;t give a hoot about this trivial issue.

They have an illegal mowing their lawn, an illegal bringing their door dash, an illegal nannying their kid, and they work at an NGO that gets funding to take care of illegals.

The precarious situation prompted surrounding buildings – including a nearby school with roughly 400 children – to be evacuated for fear more of the structure would topple, Mayor Zohran Mamdani told reporters.
“What they have found thus far is that there are structural issues with the building,” he said.
“I would say that beyond that, just for those in the immediate area to follow the instructions of those on the ground, we have seen evacuations not only of the building, but of surrounding buildings, as well as a nearby school. And I believe those actions are appropriate at this time.”

This morning, New York Times columnist Michelle Goldberg concedes she was completely fooled by the hype around Platner:
Last October, when stories about Platner’s tattoo and Reddit posts first broke, I went to Maine to write about him. I tried to convey what I saw: a campaign that was electrifying angry Maine voters. But I deeply regret that, impressed by Platner’s political charisma, I wrote that he was “nothing like the edgelord caricature I encountered online.” If anything, he seems to be significantly worse.
I do not say this lightly: If Platner fooled you, maybe you should find something to do with your life besides writing columns about politics. Because the U.S. political landscape is full of creeps, cretins, con artists, crooks, and cads of every kind, and it always will be. If the media has any useful role to play in our system, it is to look beyond the spin and the campaign-crafted image and to tell the world who these candidates really are, warts and all, so the electorate can make an informed choice.

People forget that Gov DeSantis beat this guy in 2018 by less than 0.5%.
He would’ve been our Governor during Covid, kept us locked down, and the country would’ve never been the same.
The reason he almost won was b/c deep blue Broward County kept “finding” votes weeks after the election.
The vote fraud was stopped, DeSantis cleaned up our elections, and he won by almost 20% in 2022.
It’s amazing what happens when election fraud is cleaned up.

I have a buddy that was one of the functional alcoholics. He was drunk all day every day for over 30 years. He would stop at the quick check each morning and grab a couple of 60 ouncers on his way to work. On top of that he popped all sorts of pills whenever he had the cash for them. It finally caught up with him and he had a series of cardiac issues last month. He says he is sober now. Time will tell I guess.

That Farage is hardening his position on Islam and immigration is smart. He is a politician, and that is what they do...triangulate to the most popular position that will get them elected.

The New York Times Knew All About Graham Platner's Rape Allegation But Deliberately Buried It
Update: North American Man-Boy Lincoln Association Grifter Rick Wilson Weighs In
They also buried the allegations of non-rape abuse by Lyndsey Fifield -- and she says she gave them the names of five friends who would corroborate the story (at least as far as her telling the same story contemporaneously).
Two of those friends, she told them, didn't know about the abuse, but could corroborate the dates of their relationship. The other three could corroborate the abuse. The New York Times chose to only contact the two friends Fifield expressly told them could not corroborate the abuse. They didn't contact the three who could corroborate the abuse, deliberately. Then they Times wrote that they contacted two friends "who could not corroborate" Fifield's claims of abuse.Lyndsey FifieldShe also gave the NYT the names of people who could corroborate Platner "stalking" her, and apparently stalking her so menacingly she wrote to her landlord to tell him she was immediately terminating her lease to find a new place to live. The NYT refused to contact these witnesses, too.
@lyndseyfifield I actually understand why Democrat leaders didn't take our stories seriously when the Times reported them in June but are taking them seriously now. It was by design. The line most shared from the piece was the claim that the Times "could not corroborate" my story despite talking to two of my friends. I gave them the contact information for five friends. They called the two who I clarified would not know about the abuse but would be able to affirm our relationship timeline, events, etc. They simply did not call the other three.
The New York Times did NOT report these allegations of stalking at all, and instead portrayed the relationship as "emotionally volatile" on both ends. And there's a reason for that -- women hate three things men do: rape, physical abuse, and stalking. (The Times did admit Fifield's claims of physical abuse but, as noted earlier, refused to contact the friends who could corroborate those claims.) David Strom writes about this and notes that while the New York Times spoke to Jenny Racicot -- the woman accusing Platner of actual rape -- and she told the Times about the rape, the Times refused to publish it at all, or even hint at it.
I also gave them the names of all my former roommates who remembered him stalking our row house (which was about 5 houses down from his) and waiting for me to return. I gave them screenshots of messages between these roommates and I discussing it. I gave them the names of other men I dated who might have remembered him following us around the hill and showing up on my stoop after we walked home from dates to confront us. I gave them emails to my landlord urgently ending my lease and moving to an apartment across town and diary entries talking about it - all time marked. I told them that during pre-marital counseling I had spoken to my ex-fiance about the abuse because I had to explain to him why I reacted with such terror any time he lost his temper. They said oh NO we don't need to bother HIM (or my priest). Besides, I had written about it in my diary in detail, they reassured. As the weeks dragged on I stopped trying to give them evidence because the amount I had already given them seemed to overwhelm them and I thought it meant they clearly had more than enough to verify my every claim. My friends might not have known the details of the abuse, but they affirmed that yes, I had told them that he was abusive--long before he ran for Senate. Besides, they assured, my part in their reporting would be small. I thought my details would only serve to affirm Jenny and the other anonymous woman. Jenny and I - having never met or spoken - both shared with these reporters terrifyingly similar details of intimate partner violence, coercive control, and cycles of abuse/love bombing. The third unnamed woman in the story did as well. But tell me again how they "could not corroborate."
The Times engaged in the journalistic practice called "Catch and Kill," in which a news outlet rushes to get ahead of a story that damages one of their favorites by getting the story and either completely burying it, or doing a "modified limited hangout," in which the allegations are addressed, but in such a way as to make them less damaging or even non-credible. The Times had been informed of the rape, but because it was shared off the record, they only described the concerns of his victim, Jenny Racicot, in the vaguest possible terms that implied that Platner's behavior was merely ungentlemanly. Here's the one paragraph they printed referring to what they KNEW was a rape:I take Strom's point but there is a wrinkle here: Racicot told the Times about the rape but she refused to make that allegation under her own name. That is, while she's quoted in the story accusing Platner of unspecified past behavior, she didn't want them to use her name in connection with the rape allegation. So, one might say, the Times used good judgment to not report a claimed rape when the actual victim (or alleged victim) refuses to clearly accuse Platner of rape. You could say that, except for the fact that the New York Times published completely-anonymous allegations of sexual assault against Bret Kavanaugh. Google AI's overview of the first anonymous allegations of sexual assault against Bret Kavanaugh:Racicot had told them, off the record, that he had sexually assaulted her. They buried it, implied his on-the-record accuser was a political operative slandering him, and gave permission to all Platner's boosters to dismiss her story as a political hit job.
Jenny Racicot, 41, a Maine Democrat, who said she dated him casually off and on between 2019 and 2021, said the posts deepened her belief that he did not respect women. "When I saw the old comments that he made online," she said, "I recognized a version of him that I had experiences with."
The New York Times detailed an anonymous accusation of sexual misconduct against Justice Brett Kavanaugh in September 2019. Originally reported by reporters Robin Pogrebin and Kate Kelly, the allegation involved a male classmate who witnessed Kavanaugh with his pants down at a Yale University freshman party, where friends allegedly pushed his hand onto a female student. The female student involved did not speak to The New York Times. The classmate who reported the incident stated he brought it to the attention of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and senators during Kavanaugh's confirmation process, but it was not investigated. The publication faced criticism and scrutiny over its handling of the story, primarily because the article's editors omitted a crucial detail from the initial essay: the female student in question told friends she did not remember the incident. This omission prompted the New York Times to add an editor's note clarifying that the victim did not recall the event, and it renewed broader public debates about media reporting practices during the Supreme Court confirmation process.So anonymous claims of sexual assault are fair game for reporting, even when the woman allegedly victimized denies the incident ever took place. And of course the New York Times pushed Chrissy Blowsy Ford's allegations when she was still anonymous, with her "beach friends" pushing the story to media allies. The entire leftwing propaganda media did. Here's the New York Times pushing the story as relayed by beach friends, when Blowsy-Ford was still refusing to comment.
Letter Claims Attempted Assault by a Teenage Brett Kavanaugh By Nicholas Fandos and Michael S. Schmidt Sept. 14, 2018 WASHINGTON -- A secretive letter shared with senators and federal investigators by the senior Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee charges that a teenage Brett M. Kavanaugh and a male friend trapped a teenage girl in a bedroom during a party and tried to assault her, according to three people familiar with the contents of the letter. The letter says that Mr. Kavanaugh, then a student at Georgetown Preparatory School in suburban Washington and now President Trump's Supreme Court nominee, had been drinking at a social gathering when he and the male friend took the teenage girl into a bedroom. The door was locked, and she was thrown onto the bed. Mr. Kavanaugh then got on top of the teenager and put a hand over her mouth, as the music was turned up, according to the account. But the young woman was able to extricate herself and leave the room before anything else occurred, the letter says. The woman says she considered the episode an assault. She has declined to be publicly identified, and she asked Senator Dianne Feinstein of California, the top Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, not to publicize the letter.So the media can and often does report anonymous sexual assault allegations -- but only against Republicans. Democrats, who claim to #BelieveAllWomen, are protected against such lying whores who lie. Below: Jodi Kantor, who works at the New York Times and therefore would know all about the rape allegation, spun for Platner a month ago claiming the only charges against Platner concerned him being "a bad boyfriend."
Note the attempt by the NY Times's Jodi Kantor to soft-peddle the accusations that had been made against Platner. Remember: the NY Times had been told about the rape allegation that Politico reported today. https://t.co/5fLNoVO11S

They also leveraged Racicot’s then off-the-record story to get Lyndsey to go on the record, intimating to her she’d be the least of the accusations in the article and then hung her out to dry. Not only is Jenny great for speaking, but her move may discourage that kind of… https://t.co/iG7cBJ6s2m

I thought all his (lying) accusers were named. It was primarily that batshit fuckhead squeaky-voiced lunatic identified in the letter. I mercifully forgot her name.
Then there was the other mentally-ill harpy who talked with her lawyers for a week before finally realizing that the dick that some guy whipped out in front of her at a drunk college party was Kav's.
There may have been a 3rd harpy, but IIRC all of the accusers were named -- which was a godsend to Kav as he was able to expose them as deranged politically-motivated lunatics.
Although, I have to say, knowing what I know about wild drunken college parties, the odds that a teenage Kav did whip out his dick are ... well above zero.

He gave off the implication by dress that he was a blue collar working man and maybe that was enough for them to try to run him to try to push that in the brand nationwide (see, we are not ALL effete gay losers who want to fuck your kids!)

Eh, a lot of this is usually... codependency. Maybe that's not the right word. They feed off each other that's destructive to both.
Remember the line from Ghost and the Darkness where Michael Douglass is describing the two bullies. 'Either one on his own was manageable, but together? Together they were Hell on wheels.'
Two people often are fairly stable- except when they get together- then they are toxic as fuck. To each other. To everyone around them. Like Mutually assured destruction.
Don't ask me how I know that.

I had a low level internet stalker in college. I somehow caught her attention on some gaming message board. She got my real address, my school email address, knew my name, my dad's name, my dad's workplace, etc. Thankfully after a couple of months she suddenly lost interest, but it freaked me out.
I imagine having a stalker who was genuinely part of your life, even welcome in your bed, suddenly turning psycho and having all that information and leverage to hurt you.

Yea, and her house was 5 doors down from his. Is this creep capable of stalking someone? Sure. Did he stalk this women? I have my doubts.
Did she go to the police? No. Did she try to get a restraining order? Did she do anything that a genuinely scared and traumatized woman would do? It doesn't appear so.
Don't get me wrong: I'm not defending the Nazi. I'm saying that I continue to believe this is all an op. Just like with Fartswell. Remember him? It was wall-to-wall allegations and threats of prosecution. Then he dropped out and ... the stories instantly disappeared.

If you want to believe polling, Collins is polling better now than she was in 2020 when she ended up winning by 8.
Maine is 40% registered independent.
A large slice of the Democrat leaning batch will simply not vote in the Senate race now because of this whole kerfuffle. Besides, Collins brings home the bacon.
Collins wins by 20, at least.
She won in 2014 by 40.

The establishment has been desperate to beat Platner since before the Nazi tattoo became public.
Schumer personally recruited Janet Mills, sitting governor, to run for the race. Every story against Platner has come from Democrat sources.

On top of having the right politics and being a boarding school reliable communist and having skeletons they could use to control him, I think they liked that he could sort of be called manly.
The Democrats know they have a manliness problem. Tampon Tim actually tried to claim he fit the bill, though most men looked at him and saw a possible homosexual. Platner doesn't strike me as a homosexual. I wouldn't call him manly, but I could see how some people might.

Women, to this day, will not report rape or sexual assault out of fear and the knowledge there's a real chance they won't be taken seriously when reporting it to authorities.

It is a very weird bit of human psychology when you think about it.
1) Person is madly in love with a version of the person they have in their head.
2) They pursue this person because they believe they are MFEO.
3) ???
4) When the person rejects them, their entire world comes crashing down and then they do something really stupid. It is weird in that the entire point should be that you should be happy together, so why does it turn to destruction? Makes no sense unless you are starting from a different standpoint of them making YOU happy. That's probably it.
DON'T believe the shit in your head is real.

To say the least, this is a terrible look for the Times. The paper’s reporters failed to do the work necessary to find out Fyfield’s allegations were credible — and then smeared her in print. You can judge for yourself if they would have done the same if Fyfield was a Democrat and Platner a Republican.
In the paleolithic days when I was a reporter for the paper, this level of journalistic malfeasance would have led, at a minimum, to a serious internal investigation, with the findings publicly released.
Let’s hope the same standards hold now.

3. Despite establishment opposition (which was explicit since they backed a challenger, Janet Mills, sitting governor of Maine), the Democrat base voted for Platner 72%.
The problem is that the base wants people like Platner, but the establishment doesn't.

1) Women love to be chased.
2) If the woman likes you and wants you to chase her, it's chasing.
3) If a woman does not like you, it's stalking.
Those two things can change in a heartbeat back and forth.

LOL. What the fuck kinda name is that. It reveals much about that cunt.
As for Platner, you can tell a person by their eyes, and this dude has crazy eyes all day long. The first time I saw his stupid face I knew he was hiding something.
I mean, it's not hard, all he-man libtards are hiding something extremely deviant. It's par for the course.
A drunk stalker who;s never had a job who is also a Commie.

It's not crazy once you realize that Democrats still think they can put an establishment stooge into that race.
The establishment has steadily lost control of its ability to control primaries. The base has gotten crazier while the establishment has to worry about general elections.
It's like the Tea Party wave in the GOP but more murderous and less coherent.

They probably believe getting him out now on the hypermasculinity even though it's fucking RAPE is not the worst thing in the world. But more pedo Nazi stuff will be very bad for "the party" this Fall.
That's what I think. I don't think it's a matter of quickly getting this out and litigating it so they can call it asked and answered. I really don't.
So I expect he will drop out.

I dunno, Ace. Are cops likely to do anything? Probably not. But you call them anyway, if you are truly scared. What's the downside?
And cops will create a report (that's evidence if nothing else) and usually will at least talk to the accused. Sometimes that alone is enough to get the accused to back off.
Hell, I've had NYPD track me down as a witness to ask about Douche X and his alleged behavior at Party Y. I've also had NYPD contact me about my friend E___ (a lady) and her conduct to Douche Z.
I think most cops do take these allegations kinda seriously. It's just that there's usually no evidence to do anything.
I find it very strange that in not a single one of any of these PoundMeToo allegations -- not just these against the Nazi creep -- does the supposedly scared and traumatized woman ever call the cops.

2. This is a last ditch effort by the establishment to convince him to drop out.
3. Despite establishment opposition (which was explicit since they backed a challenger, Janet Mills, sitting governor of Maine), the Democrat base voted for Platner 72%.
The problem is that the base wants people like Platner, but the establishment doesn't.

Here's what a search said:
Chicago does not charge $5 as a per-call fee when you dial 911. Instead, the city imposes a monthly 911 surcharge of $5.00 on every active network connection (such as cell phone lines, landlines, and cellular-enabled smartwatches) billed to a Chicago address.This $5.00 monthly fee, which applies regardless of whether you actually ever use the service, is the highest municipal 911 surcharge in the United States.

Yea, exactly. It's evidence if nothing else. And abused or stalked women do call the police. I know that for sure from my time doing pro bono at the clinic. The problem is that the women usually drop the charges or not follow up on them, but they almost always at least call the police. The fact that none of these women ever thinks to call the cops despite claiming to be so traumatized is very telling.

Mills suspended her campaign because she ran out of money. It's also asserted that Platner's fundraising is garbage (because he still hasn't released Q2 numbers).
But...why recruit her at all? Schumer recruited her after Platner announced.
The stories of his Nazi tattoo came out from Democrat sources. The stories of his sexual abuse stemmed from Democrat media.
That's all because the establishment really wanted Platner, huh? Schumer went out, got lauded for recruiting Mills, ends up looking like a worthless husk of a man as 4D chess to really support the upstart that he was publicly against?

The Bishnoi gang is affiliated with an eco-religious sect by the same name founded in the 15th century in Rajasthan, and they worship an Indian antelope called the Blackbuck, which they consider to be a reincarnation of their spiritual guru.
Bishnoi delegates control of his gang to trusted lieutenants and regional leaders of the criminal enterprise to conduct “targeted killings, shootings, kidnappings, maimings, assaults, extortions, and drug trafficking,” court papers charge.

There's no way Democrats come out of this situation with a shot against Collins at all.
It's fighting over who gets to be the loser.
I mean...she won the most anti-GOP year in 2020 by 8 points, in the middle of COVID, at the height of election fortification, and with Trump on the ballot.

I don't think even the most virulent white supremacist would dream that his plan of segregating blacks from whites would ever happen.
But here we are, the Dems are segregating them:
- into sub par schools, where they pretend to educate them
- into inner cities where no one else wants to live
- by encouraging them to use weird "african" names, so they can't get jobs
- by encouraging them to speak a different language, so they can't be understood and are further isolated from the good whites.
It's totally not racist.

Remember, Democrats have been gerrymandering harder for longer.
And the current maps are built on "mistakes" from the Census in 2020 that gave, by the Census Bureau's own admission under Biden, 6-8 more seats to Democrat states than Republican ones. And that's assuming that their admission is close to accurate. Considering that the Census has said that it didn't actually count, it modeled, the population, it's probably worse.
2032 maps will be interesting to see, especially if the GOP wins the presidency in 2028 and controls the census.

I was told I was full of shit because I said that Callais will matter more in 2028 than 2026.
We got some movement in 2026. We were always going to get more in 2028.
We'll get more movement before the next presidential.
But the important thing will be post 2030 census when most GOP reps have already gotten comfortable with partisan gerrymandering and are suddenly faced with five new seats in Texas.

The Morning Rant
For too long, leftist judges have flouted the law and put criminals back on the streets. Following the principles of Critical Legal Theory, which holds that the “law supports a power dynamic which favors the historically privileged and disadvantages the historically underprivileged,” they actively subvert the legal process in any way they can. This usually translates to accepting bogus claims of mental incompetence, issuing lighter sentences for serious crimes, and seeking out alternatives to incarceration. By doing so, they can do their part to remedy the “disparate impact” of the law on black Americans who proportionally commit crimes in far greater numbers than other those in other racial groups.
Pour encourager les autres!. Maybe other Florida hacks-in-black will think twice before releasing some malignant evil onto the streets of their state. Or maybe their arrogance will overwhelm their sense of self-preservation, and the Attorney General will create an "Office Of Judicial Conduct" and go after every single Judge who considers his personal morality to be superior to the will of the people of Florida. And if that doesn't work? How about changing the law in Florida and making judges personally liable for the criminal acts of those they release? That would be a joy to behold!

Because if the judges aren't controlled through checks and balances, victim's family members will controll them permanently. It's a binary solution, and the judges get to choose which way the scales fall. I won't shed a single tear when it eventually happens either.

@ProgressiveVic
We began asking our contacts on the ground in Maine about Troy Jackson earlier today after seeing many suggestions that he should replace Graham Platner against Susan Collins.
In our discussions we have received troubling information about not only Jackson’s behavior, but the behavior of many prominent Maine Democrats toward women more broadly. Both as a result of the credibility of the sources and in the interest of not seeing our movement make the same mistake twice, we are choosing to share some of this now.
As Maine Senate President in a state senate caucus meeting several years ago, Troy Jackson in a heated disagreement struck a female colleague with a bottle he threw at her. There are many witnesses, and it appears this is a widespread open secret within Maine politics and not an isolated incident.

People need to remember that Maine is 40% registered independent.
A solid slice of these will be dedicated Democrat partisans in all but name, but the kind of people who register as independent really are those kinds of people who will decide, "The candidate is too flawed. I'll leave the space blank," or just simply not vote.
Collins is barely going to spend any money and win by at least 20 points, no matter who the oppositional candidate is.

If the KY legislature is going to go ahead and impeach the governor, and it gets torpedoed right after the judiciary already torpedoed their effort to impeach a judge...I would expect more than harshly worded letters in response from the legislature.
Especially with the KY GOP realizing that they might have delayed the Trump era in the state hiding behind Mitch's pork, but it has certainly come. Massie outside should have told them. (Not to imply Massie was Mitch adjacent, just that Trump can move primary voters against incumbents with money and name advantages.)

"Trump is a Nazi because he wants to deport people. Platner isn't a Nazi even though he had a Nazi tattoo for 20 years (and may still have it, actually)."
The only reason to harp on it is to get voters who only vote part of the part to either show up (our side) or say it's not worth it (their side).
Otherwise, we focus on declining rents because of the net out-migration from 2025.

Not true!
There's also that time that Trump and Epstein were on a boat on Lake Michigan with a pregnant woman whom they delivered her child and then threw it into the water overboard.
Which definitely happened and wasn't the rantings of a crazy person. People no woman would lie about something so serious as that. It's literally impossible to make up a story like that. You see, fiction has to make sense.

The defiant "I DINDU NUFFIN TAH DAT BITCH" along with the defeatist "I'm looking at paths forward" strongly suggests he doesn't want to drop out, but he senses he might not have a choice depending on the fallout.
Notorious creep, sex pest, and rolly-polly fatboy Rueben Gallego immediately unendorsed him, in an obviously staged move, and so do that Ro Kanna cocksucker.

I actually don't mind her.
All of her votes against us ultimately don't matter because they either don't pass or were going to pass without her. And she has some key votes to get us over the finish line (like Kavanaugh).
That's in contrast to Murkowski who just revels in fucking us over.
If we had 53 Senators, one of whom was Collins who could vote against us whenever she wanted and the other 52 voted with us all the time, she could just be another vote for leadership votes and committees.
The problem is people like Tillis, Ernst, Mitch, Murkowski. And every indication is that the number of recalcitrant representatives and senators are becoming a dying breed.

SETH RICH UPDATE: Today an attorney for the government told me that I would soon be getting confirmation that several hundred pages of documents related to Seth Rich were found in a previously-hidden room at FBI headquarters. You may recall that on July 30, 2025, Fox News Digital reported that newly-installed FBI Director Kash Patel and his leadership team had located an unmapped / sealed area within the J. Edgar Hoover Building's SCIF.
If the FBI is still fighting transparency so hard on other fronts (and it is), then why would it acknowledge that records about Seth had been hidden in the SCIF? I don’t know. Maybe Joe DiGenova’s grand jury investigation in Miami is putting some heat on the players in DC?
I can tell you this much for sure: nobody on Capitol Hill has been willing to touch this subject with a ten-foot pole. The murder of Seth Rich – and the resulting cover-up – is as radioactive as any topic I’ve ever seen. I hope that changes soon, and I’ll post updates as soon as I know more.
BTW, I’m not suicidal. I feel great.

No one really cares about BLM. They weren't even relevant at the Karmelo Anthony trial.

Artist Francois Gerard, a Neoclassical painter best known for his portraits of celebrated European personalities, particularly the leading figures of the French First Empire & Restoration periods.
-
Caroline Bonaparte, the youngest sister of Napoleon Bonaparte, was one of the most ambitious, politically astute women of the Napoleonic era. Born in Corsica as Maria Annunziata, she later changed her name to Caroline to integrate into Paris society. Her life was defined by a ruthless drive for power, a complex relationship with her brother, and a highly impactful reign over Naples.
A young Caroline had married Joachim Murat, one of Napoleon’s most dashing cavalry generals, despite Napoleon's initial reluctance. She used her calculated charm & proximity to power to rapidly advance her husband's career.
In 1808, Napoleon appointed Murat and Caroline as the King and Queen Consorts of Naples.
In 1814, the Murats formed a secret alliance with the Austrian Empire, effectively betraying Napoleon to secure their kingdom.
Murat defected back to Napoleon's side but was executed for treason in 1815.

My suggestion if I may -is to take off some time from reading the links and headlines. J.J does a wonderful job here, both with the links and with his great commentary ( as does CBD) and Ace, of course , but nobody compels you to read all of it everyday. I would go nuttier than I already am 😉if I had to read every story about the perfidy of politicians and other crazy bad news everyday. If you aren't already doing so, consider taking a walk, listen to the birds, "touch grass" ( I don't do that, but I do smell flowers). Today I saw some huge pink and white Lillie's
which smelled beautiful. The emotional and physical well being of everybody here is important. There is a lady of our local classic music station who has as her sign off everyday "Be good to yourself today, and be good to your neighbor too."

The Morning Report — 7/ 7 /26
Jenny Racicot, 41, told Politico that while she and Platner had been involved in an “on-and-off relationship,” in 2021 he allegedly “entered her rural Maine home uninvited one night” while intoxicated. Platner allegedly “forced himself on her while she repeatedly told him to stop.” “I remember him grabbing my pelvis and being really forceful of me,” Racicot explained to the outlet. “I remember the specific moment where I thought to myself, like, ‘This is no longer my choice.'”So, a Nazi-loving Jew-hating rapist. As America's 250th birthday gradually recedes in the distance, I can honestly say I can't think of a more ideal presidential candidate . . . for the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Khamenei Funeral: Loyalists Call for Killing of Trump, Vance, and Conservative Influencers “As they passed under a bridge, mourners hurled stones at a billboard hung from above showing U.S. President Donald Trump with a bullet aimed at his head.”If you didn't have the context, you'd swear that was a typical social media post from almost any leftist pol, media personality or average lefty wine mom. Meh, Graham cracka Platner is just another cardboard cutout Democrat
“Graham Platner needs to immediately withdraw as the Democrat nominee for Senate and allow Maine Democrats the opportunity to choose a new candidate who can defeat Susan Collins,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Democrat Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) Chair Sen. Kristin Gillibrand of New York said in a statement. “The DSCC will not invest in the Maine Senate race if Platner remains on the ballot.” Democrat Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren also joined the pile-on, saying in a statement that “the best path forward is for Graham Platner to step aside,” while Democratic Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker wrote on X that Platner “must drop out” and that the party “should continue to stand with all survivors of sexual assault.”Given this story and the rise of the DSA to preeminence in the Dem party, I can't understand how they are now seeing Platner as toxic waste.
A new YouGov survey found Democrats are more likely to view the Black Lives Matter flag positively than the American flag, with 74 percent expressing a very or somewhat positive opinion of the BLM flag compared with 72 percent for the U.S. flag. The poll also found ten percent of Democrats held a negative view of the American flag. Among Republicans, just ten percent said they viewed the BLM flag positively. The survey also measured reactions to other flags and symbols, finding only three percent of Democrats had a positive view of flags associated with President Donald J. Trump, while nine percent viewed the Confederate flag positively and 27 percent viewed the Palestinian flag favorably. The findings were released shortly after a Marist poll reported that fewer than half of Democrats said they were proud to be Americans, compared with 93 percent of Republicans. A 2025 Gallup poll similarly found a sharp partisan divide in national pride. YouGov surveyed 1,088 U.S. adults online between June 30 and July 2.
Elsewhere we have news that Mitch McConnell is unwell, or perhaps fast approaching room temperature.
Before politics enters the room, prayers should. I can't read about a possible heart crisis or stroke without thinking of my father, who lived through a heart attack, suffered a stroke, and endured hard months before he died.Mitch McConnell's record has to say the least been spotty at best when it comes to advancing an America first constitutional agenda and opposing the Democrat traitors who have run wild especially since the coming of Obama and well before that. McConnell and all the other elderly doddering career politicians on both sides of the aisle who enrich themselves via elective office are why we desperately need term limits, as well as the severest of penalties for graft. Public flogging perhaps. As if to underscore that, we have McConnell's wife.
Families live inside those hours; they're not campaign props.
But McConnell isn't only a husband, father, and grandfather. He is Kentucky's senior senator, holding one of 100 seats in a chamber where every vote cast decides war powers, judges, spending, taxes, and the president's agenda. If he's recovering, Kentucky deserves to know enough to trust that recovery. If he's gravely ill, Kentucky deserves honesty without cruelty.
Conservative activist Laura Loomer and journalist Desiree Townsend claimed Monday that McConnell has been declared “brain dead,” citing unnamed sources. McConnell's office hasn't confirmed or denied that claim.
Former U.S. Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao traveled to Beijing just three days after her husband, Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), was rushed to the hospital following an apparent heart attack that required CPR.Nope, not a smidgen of a hint of corruption at all, eh? This would be the same China that's doing this... Between Chao, Swalwell, the late Feinstein whose lifelong chauffeur was a Chi-Com spy and how many others nationally and locally who are the same, as well as all the spies in our academic institutions and the private sector, it's a race to see who finishes us off first, them or the Muslims...
The Congressional Research Service (CRS) has tracked Chinese nuclear and missile proliferation concerns across multiple decades and report iterations. The six editions examined here span the period from May 2021 through May 2026. Taken together, they reveal a consistent underlying pattern—Chinese government-level transfers have largely ended, but a persistent, arguably worsening problem of Chinese entity-level proliferation continues unabated—while the diplomatic and rhetorical framing around that problem has shifted considerably over time. These transfers undermine the official Chinese position—namely, that China firmly opposes the proliferation of nuclear weapons, missiles, and related technologies/means of delivery and commits to rigorous export controls while balancing nonproliferation with the peaceful uses of dual-use technologies, especially for developing countries (see “China's Non-Proliferation Policy and Measures").Have a good day,

Trump from ballots or imprison him prior to the 2024 election in the U.S., and growing efforts to penalize Reform UK party leader Nigel Farage for a range of supposed administrative missteps in the United Kingdom.

30 MW nuclear reactors were turned on and produced electricity.
Just about an hour before Trump's July 4th deadline.
If I understand correctly, these are the shipping container sized reactors that can be transported by airplane.
They have zero risk of meltdown and are expected to be deployed in 2027 in full operation.
So you can see why China is so desperate to get the public against data centers now before they become self-powered.

And so I was waiting, time was 9.15, 9.30, I gotta go, I didn't have what I needed. And long story
short, the president needed to push the meeting back an hour, which saved me, because this guy
who was responsible for printing refused to print it because he disagreed with what was on the
paper. And turns out he actually did print it, but then he locked it in his desk and refused to open
his desk.
My chief of staff went down and said, the director needs to present this to the president. We need
this. And he said, no, I refuse.
And so my chief brought down my head of a general counsel who said, the director needs this for the president. I refuse. And he would not do this until his boss back at his home agency said it
was okay to do it.
Ridiculous. There are other examples that are far more serious and grave that would make you
concerned for the integrity and future of our republic as I am. We must remain vigilant.

********
The only reason why the Dems are pulling their endorsement is because Platner was starting to lose to Susan Collins in the polls. Everything else is BS from them.. if he were ahead in the polls, they would still be supporting him

I just happened upon an ABC (Australia) video and the comments were paused because - they were overwhelmingly pro-Belgium. Saying FIFA and the WC was saved because we lost and therefore Trump lost.
The world is insufferable. I fucking loathe soccer but from what I can tell, the "foul" was incidental and Trump merely asked FIFA to review it... NOT reverse it - which probably would have happened even if Trump hadn't picked up the phone.
Plus, apparently Starmer has done the same damn thing but nobody gave a f about that because Starmer is a limp wristed soyboy.

If you didn't have the context, you'd swear that was a typical social media post from almost any leftist pol, media personality or average lefty wine mom.
Under the Biden Junta a retired vet made social media posts threatening Biden. The Junta sent an assault team and shot him with the FNM and media arguing anyone that makes a threat to harm the president deserves such a visit.
Now any time I go to a letwingers *routinely* post the same sort of threats on social media and I'm told that they have freedom of speech to call for this.
Note this isn't people saying they hate Trump, he should be impeached, he should be arrested, etc - these are flat out calls for murder/assassination

Harry Truman, for all his faults, had no hesitation whatsoever about dropping the bomb and often said so, repeatedly. I don’t know where this canard got started.
He generally lamented the great loss of life of the war in general. He was an old Artilleryman from World War First.
The thought process by many was while civilian casualties from any bombings conventional or otherwise were horrific the ultimate objective was to end the war as soon as possible, ultimately saving more lives in the long run. It was a difficult time for sure.

I think it's a bit more evil than that. It was Democrats who released this information not Republicans. Maine election law gives the nominee until July 13th to drop out and after that he stays on the ballot.
Platner has been falling rapidly in polling and Maine polling is notoriously weighted toward Democrats. He was going to lose and the Party knew it. So they knifed him and forced his hand.
The reason they are backing away is he was likely going to lose big and that is what the Party can't tolerate. Now they will force him to drop out and replace him. Probably still lose but at least they won't have to spend months battling these scandals instead of running a race. They don't give a damn about ethics, they care about winning.

Lefties repeat narratives they don't think for themselves.
And the classic example of this is still in a live taping of the Colbert show he announced Trump had fired Comey and the crowd cheered - remember the FNM was telling people at the time Comey was a bad man for mentioned Hillary had committed felonies even if he wasn't going to prosecute her for it.
But then Colbert spent 5m browbeating and voxplaining to his audience and eventually they started booing the news instead.

Perhaps some if that is going on. But I assume this is a big, important debriefing, consolidation of accounts, and tying up of loose ends. The Chinese are having to wind down a thunderously successful intelligence operation on short notice, at an innopportune time. Dead men have no more influence to wield over the people who've protected them, and the President has an extremely hostile relationship with McConnell's cadre and the Chinese government.

We can all see that all of the energy in the Democrat Party is now with the communists. They are a lot more organized than they were even a few years ago and they discovered a real weakness in our electoral process and are exploiting it.
We, this group of morons, might be highly energized and involved and will go vote but overall the average voter is apathetic and doesn't bother no matter how much they talk. The communists are winning primaries by turning out. That's what happened in NY and that's what happened in Maine. Platner won his primary without the Party.
But it's been obvious for some time he was going to lose to Collins and rather than spend time and money supporting a rapist who was going to lose anyway they took him out. In the long run the communists are taking over the Democrat Party. It's not a joke and people on both sides of the aisle need to realize the fight is no longer R vs D, it's Freedom vs Tyranny.

I watched, too. My takeaway: The Belgian team was fully-grown, late-20s to mid-30s, vastly experienced in Euro competitive soccer, men. Playing against a USA team of younger, not as experienced, not as strong and tough, players. Belgium pushed the USA players around on offense and defense and the USA team could not equally or more push-around the Belgians on offense and defense.
I expect it will always be this way with USA-citizen teams. Unless skilled American soccer players (a small percentage to begin with of our top skill-player athletes) can make enough money to play until they match the experience and toughness of European and Central/South American national teams. How many American-born and bred soccer players are stars in the big pro leagues in Europe?

208 It will be interesting to see how the Dems replace Platner with - if it is Mills or Gideon that would be a win for the Dem old guard - both of them are the platonic ideal of a Karen.”
Janet Mills chances are wrecked; she ran in the primary and lost. So that would be the Dem Party saying “HA-ha! We know you already voted against her but we’re giving you the chance to repent of your error.”
Voters will just love that.
Posted by: Tom Servo at July 07, 2026 09:01 AM (F297B)
90 The strange thing about the Platner revelation is that obviously plenty of Dems knew already; so why did they wait to spring it until Janet Mills chance was ruined?
Posted by: Tom Servo at July 07, 2026 07:23 AM (F297B)
I think the conventional wisdom was that she did not, in fact, have a chance; in a hypothetical contest between two bland old women, Collins was the more proven winner. So, 'They' weren't willing to prop her up, if she couldn't even win the primary on her own.
Following this logic, it stands to reason that Mills will not be the Party's choice, if they manage to pressure Platner into dropping out. I don't know who they would pick tho.

Because if they lose now, they'll never get this close again for 100+ years.
Once they cracked open the Constitution with the income tax, it took them just over 100 years to get to this point:
45% of the people dependent upon the government, paid for by the other 55%.
That 45% will always vote for the Bigger Government Party.
They just need 5% more and they'll sweep away voting, the 1st and 2nd Amendments and lock in their power for the next 100 or more years.
America stands alone as the last and only thing in their way worldwide.

Not really true anymore. Our generation doesn't care that much but younger ones do. Youth soccer in the US is growing like a weed and far outpacing Little League and other traditional sports with the younger generations.
Soccer has been THE game around the world for generations. They traditionally have much bigger pipelines and the support is fanatical. We're catching up fast but the delta between the US team and the world's best teams is still wide. In time, the US team will be as competitive as any in the world.

My wife, who is a sports medicine physician that takes care of the professional soccer players for our local team here - got very upset at me because I called soccer the sport you become a fan of if you want to be seen as educated, elite, global and generally better-than-thou.
Our local pro hockey team owner is also a minority owner in the local soccer team, and is jealous of all of the attention that the new soccer team is getting in town, so he hired the same marketing consulting company to analyze why the hockey team doesn't get as much attention in the same little market as the soccer team does. The fact that he doesn't know who his working class customers are for the hockey team versus the educated progressive wannabe worldly self-appointed elites of the soccer team, is concerning. Supposedly he's going to rename and rebrand the hockey team which would be absolutely devastating.

I just bought my last set of gear after my old stuff got too worn out. Stepping onto the ice cost me about $4,000, just in equipment.
For kids, who aren't goalies, you could get them dressed for about $500. Then you're paying for ice time.

The reason soccer became so popular around the world is not because it is the sport of the elites. Just the opposite. It is the sport of even the poorest people because all you need is a ball.
Look at some of the biggest soccer stars in the world. They didn't come from the elite, they came from the barrios and slums of the world. Travel around the world and you will see young kids in the poorest neighborhoods playing soccer. I was in Brazil one time and woke up to headlines in the local media that a referee at a game between two Brazilian club teams was murdered and decapitated after the game for what was perceived as a bad call against the home team.
It's the same as basketball and why it's so popular with inner city kids. All you need is a ball and hoop.

Include a warning, identifying whether the snippet is from the Meccan or Medinan verses.
Regular readers will soon recognize the difference.
The Meccan verses sometimes recapitulate Judeo-Christian stories ; the Medinan verses can be counted on to be hostile to Western Civilization.
P.S. Wikipedia has been goofy about their spelling choices of “Quran”,”Maccan”, “Mahdinan”, etc.

I don't know whether they really have a "better" option than him so it's not about winning elections it's about controlling narrative in case we have a Trump lead GOP that wants to fight. And I have a feeling we do and that there is more to come on him.

Sure the players aren't largely from the elite class across the world - but to be a fan of soccer means that you're not a rube hick that hasn't left the borders of your county or state.
It means you see the American disdain for soccer as a backwoods and hick - how could someone really hate a sport that is beloved across the planet if not for ignorance and bigotry?
Which is why I see soccer as really gaining popularity in mostly "blue" areas - aka places that hate America (and Americans).

Of course. Well planned. They're very reasonable politicians, and they'll leave the people with that fact - which the press will cover without end, prior to Platner's replacement and beyond - though their extended summer break. And afterwards, all hell breaks out over the mid-terms and they're in the clear. (Bet it'll also take ages to find out how defective the candidate who follows is.)

Daily Tech News 7 July 2026
Top Story
- Beelink has launched its EQi Wildcat Lake mini-PC build around Intel's new low-end Core 3 304 CPU. (Liliputing)
Starting at $509 with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of SSD, and limited to just one performance core (and four efficiency cores) it's not going to set the world on fire.
Just give you hearburn.
- Minisforum meanwhile has announced its NAB9S mini PC starting at just $399. (WCCFTech)
True, that includes neither memory nor storage, but what it does include is a 24-core Intel 13900HX laptop processor, which is close to four times as fast in multi-threaded tasks as the Core 3 304.
If you already have a bunch of DDR4 SODIMMs and are worried about the hardware around them aging out, this looks like a pretty good solution. Would handily beat my 5560U mini PC or my 11800H laptop.
Tech News
- SpaceX is just letting satellites burn up in the atmosphere! (Tom's Hardware)
The comments point out that 50 tons of meteoroids enter the atmosphere every day, a far greater burn rate than SpaceX.
- AMD is matching Nvidia by offering its own wildly overpriced non-upgradable AI workstation. (Tom's Hardware)
Systems based on the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 with 128GB appeared last year priced around $2000. By cutting out the middle man AMD had managed to reduce the price to $4000.
- Speaking of AI workstations, the price per million tokens quoted by different AI services is meaningless. (Jan Ilowski)
Because nobody can agree on what a token is.
It's like buying fruit by the foot when a foot is defined as "a measure of distance usually between and inch and a yard".
- Microsoft has laid off nearly 5000 people, including 1600 from its Xbox division. (Tech Crunch)
On the other hand, that's only 2.1% of the company's staff.
Also given how dire the Xbox situation is, even if they don't all deserve this they had to have known it was coming.

The hardware itself is well built, has a pretty good screen, has an SD card slot if I get to be a pack rat, and the performance of it is completely sufficient. The keyboard is a bit cramped but for knocking out quick emails, a quick note or updating a spreadsheet it's totally sufficient. The battery in life is excellent. The stereo speaker system is sufficiently loud for watching movies.
The way I got around Android tablets having a crappy file system is that I use OneDrive to handle that task. The app is well integrated into Android so it works very well.
Samsung One UI desktop is a far cry from the crappy software they used to kick out. It's actually very polished and quite useful. The critical component is it has a taskbar that runs along the bottom of the screen and that allows you to pin all your usual suspects. Plus it has a stripped down version of Dex that you can hop into and suddenly you have a rudimentary windowing PC.

Samsung - Galaxy Tab S10 Lite - 10.9" 128GB - Wi-Fi - with S-Pen - Lite Gray is the correct model. This is something you strictly buy on sale. The current prices are between $300 and $400 for the tablet and about $140 for the keyboard. I paid about $325 for the two and it's not worth a penny more than that.

- Starlink is becoming competitive with our current provider at $55/mo; we will join up soon, I'm pretty sure. For us, the decision is almost completely political, I want our money to support someone we respect as an unstoppable innovator, plus someone who is on "our side". Service probably isn't much better or worse than the wire, so who cares. Pro tip: keep the dish free of snow (for those who get water crystals in season).

With all his other transgressions I doubt a documented rape does him in, but who can say? Democrats clearly want him gone, and they want the ability to name his replacement, skipping the gamble of a primary (where activists elect people like Platner!), so they have a week to do him in. If this rape doesn't do the job, Democrat poobahs will keep at it in hopes of finding even worse.

Monday Overnight Open Thread (7/5/26)
Quote I “We see masked agents terrorizing our streets, eating food cooked by our undocumented neighbors before spiriting them away in unmarked vans,” he said. “We see a nation whose immense wealth has been built by those with callous dirt streaked hands, those who toil on factory floors and chisel into stone. And we see a nation that has allowed so much of that wealth to be held instead in the soft hands of a precious few.” NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani
Quote II The newly emerging socialists, like recent congressional nominees Darializa Avila Chevalier or Analilia Mejia, can never explain why their parents left socialist paradises in Latin America to come to cutthroat capitalist America. Victor Davis Hanson
Quote III “Now, do I like their political position? Yes, I do. I believe that reproductive rights are a thing. And I think that they are obviously invested in women, and they should be. And that taking it from them was taking a right from women. And that’s the first time I’ve seen that done, except for prohibition. And I think it was wrong. But legally, I think it was the right decision.” Chris Cuomo
I hope you Morons had a great time celebrating our country's birth and independence this past weekend. In the event you had an accident or two, yours truly hopes you didn't need this medical care team.
Once again, The ONT Is Always Looking Out For YouTM
Nude Recreation Week invites everyone to explore the benefits of naturism and body positivity, running from Monday, July 6 through Sunday, July 12, 2026. This week encourages shedding inhibitions along with clothes, promoting a natural and liberating lifestyle. Join the movement by visiting a naturist resort, learning about the community, or simply embracing self-acceptance.Well here in the Frozen Tundra the deer and horse flies are as thick as thieves in Washington D.C. No way I'm going to embrace self-acceptance with those little blood suckers.
Is this this the time in history where the common man who has everything left to lose says "Fvck it!? US Air Force Engineer Charged With Sawing Down Flock Surveillance Cameras Receives Thousands of Dollars from Supporters Across the Country
"There has been community support for me that I humbly welcome."
Hundreds of freedom lovers are rallying behind a US Air Force engineer accused of chopping down over a dozen AI-integrated surveillance cameras last year. According to local channel WAVY, Virginia-based Air Force engineer and mechanic Jeffrey Sovern is facing 13 counts of destruction of property, as well as six counts of both petit larceny and possession of burglary tools related to the destruction of Flock license plate cameras. These automatic license plate readers, or ALPRs, are starting to blanket the United States, spreading across small towns and bustling cities alike by the thousands. While ostensibly framed as crime fighting tools, the AI-powered spy devices have raised significant privacy and social policy concerns, especially as innocent citizens get caught up in the dragnet. Like AI data centers, they’ve become a hot political issue at the local level, fueling public outrage and organized campaigns from coast to coast.Maybe 2020 did plant some seeds of rebellion. Time will tell.
Speaking of rebellion. A Happy Belated Birthday to our great country. Some exceptional drinking before we were officially a country.
The Pilgrims stopped at Plymouth Rock because they ran out of beer. The U.S. Marine Corps was founded in a bar. One of the reasons Prohibition failed in in the United States is probably because this country was founded on and was fueled by booze from the get-go—and there just isn’t a lot Americans won’t do to keep the party going a little longer. The best example of this might be the legendary Revolutionary War leader Ethan Allen and his Green Mountain Boys, whose first order of business after famously taking Fort Ticonderoga from the British was to raid its liquor stores and “drink the place dry.”
The Fabulous is a great cook. And often she will say, "Slow down and enjoy your meal." She's never met Florida Keys resident Kevin Renly.
A Florida man who finally captured the title at the World Famous Key Lime Pie Eating Championship said his winning strategy came down to eliminating the biggest obstacle first: the whipped cream. Florida Keys resident Kevin Renly, 62, claimed victory at the annual Fourth of July competition in Key West after devouring a whipped cream-topped 9-inch Key lime pie in 59.6 seconds — all without using his hands. Contestants were required to eat the pies without using their hands, though goggles and dive masks were allowed.
July 6th, 2024 - Joe Egan
Scottish singer-songwriter Joe Egan died from a heart attack at a hotel in Melbourne, Australia, at the age of 77. Along with Gerry Rafferty, Egan was one of the two main members of the folk rock band Stealers Wheel, and co-writer of their hit song 'Stuck in the Middle with You'. The song was used in Quentin Tarantino's 1992 movie Reservoir Dogs, during the famous "ear" scene.
July 6th, 2020 - Charlie Daniels
American singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Charlie Daniels died age 83 of a hemorrhagic stroke. He is best known for his contributions to Southern rock, country, and bluegrass music and scored the 1979 number-one country hit 'The Devil Went Down to Georgia' He was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry in 2008, the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum in 2009 and the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2016.

Saw the score of that soccer game. USA lost. (shrugs). Would have been nice to see them go farther, maybe even win, but soccer just isn't our game. I'm sure the left will orgasm over the result and the usual suspects will blame Trump. The actual reason is Belgium is better at soccer. Much better. They are always in the mix with international soccer competitions. The result isn't a surprise.
I'm still binge listening to Ella Langley.

Mostly sandblasted I think. My aunt had a boyfriend who did that sort of work onsite, in graveyards. When the surviving spouse died, there was a need to put the dates on the stone, so he did it with a latex mask for the stone, and a portable sand blaster.
I suspect the stone fabricators now also use waterjet cutters, especially for the deep patterns, though that is not something you can do in a cemetery.

The damning Platner allegations show that the left needs to make a sincere effort to run more women/non-male candidates.
Bring on the Democratic tranny candidates!
The problem that the Democratic Party is trying to deal with is that working-class white males are starting to vote as lopsidedly as black females (in the opposite direction), and there are a lot more working-class white males than black females.

My Marine father claimed he did not drink anything in the Pacific during WWII, but with his chemistry degree he helped his buddies build stills all over the Solomon Islands. Explained it in great detail on video (which we never submitted to the Library of Congress). He said they'd "ferment anything." Daddy was always an innocent bystander. Right.

His world-historical rampage of treason and theft seems to be drawing to a close. G-d only knows how much these treacherous monsters stole from us, and what they gave away to lay their grasping claws on all that filthy lucre.

Mostly likely neither would I. My dad was shipped from the Philippines to Japan and thought he'd die in Japan...only to find the war was over when their ship landed.
Oh, and Truman didn't want to drop the bomb at first. The story I heard was that one of his advisors told him, "What will you say, at your impeachment in two years, when it comes out all those men who are going to die in Japan could have been saved by dropping a bomb on Japan earlier?" That changed his mind quickly.

Belgian men are tiny, at least the few I noticed in Brussels and Bruges.
We got on a commuter train to Bruges and three dimwits were hogging 4 seats for the hour ride. I went over and asked nicely to sit down. One scooted over. They were drinking beer and snotty to me and I typically make friends everwhere. I tried to smile and say how pretty the country was vs informing them they'd be speaking German vs Finnish without us in WWII (which I could not understand). Two got off and the remaining one was nicer to me.
It's good he moved over or I would have sat on his lap and squashed him. I was in no mood to hang onto a strap for an hour.

We were talking about the Carolina Bays a few nights ago. Fascinating development on that from some stuff I was skimming over and a podcast I'll listen to at length later.
One of the main researchers on that, part of the Comet group, thought they were formed during the possible YOunger Dryas impact. Well, he's now convinced it predates that a long time. Roughly 780,000 years ago.
There's a tektite field in Southeast Asia and Australia which was deposited around that date. The impact crater has never been identified.
Until probably now. Big impact near Saginaw, Michigan. Threw up chunks of ice from the ice sheets into suborbital ballistic arcs. These formed the Carolina Bays.
The chemical signature of the tektites in Australia matches that area of Michigan. So, that impact threw chunks of Michigan that made it all the way to the other side of the planet. Fascinating.

They'll handle the quotidian business of the administration, and broker the handover of power from the older generation to the DSA, while seeing to it that the old guard gets to asset strip enough of this country's wealth to keep them aquiescent and make sure it goes smoothly.
During that period, they'll seek to arrange the pieces for the actual, pure Socialist government to follow, and then one of these goons will step forward to lead it out in the open.

She's like an Obama derivative.
A foreign diplomat's child born in the United States does not automatically receive U.S. citizenship. Because accredited diplomats are not subject to U.S. jurisdiction, these children are exempt from 14th Amendment birthright citizenship, though they are recognized as Lawful Permanent Residents at birth.
However, U.S. citizenship is automatically granted at birth if the child has one U.S. citizen parent and one parent with diplomatic immunity.
The point being, it's not accidental.or coincidental. All of this crap was planned a long time ago.

Smart, savvy campaigner. He appears to have largely built his political machine, instead of relying on organizations like Justice Democrats to do it.
As mayor, he's making deft maneuvers with the existing power structure to carve up NYC's extremely valuable real estate markets, and funnel the proceeds to his own political machine, with massive rakeoffs to the donor class - they'll be the ones to scoop up the properties whose ownership Mamdani is currently purging, and pay for his future in the Party.
In short: he's everything AOC, Walz, Harris, etc. are not. He's competent. He'll go up from here.

One thing my fascination with this has done is to learn about geologic history and climate cycles and all that.
And just scratching the surface on that shows just how full of shit the Climate Change and Global Warmunists are. It's infuriating.
125 kya, sea levels were 30' higher than today (that was one of things that pushed the Carolina Bays back before that high water mark). That was the peak of the last big interglacial period. Temperatures quite a bit warmer than anything projected by the Warmunist idiots.

I’m no lawyer nor did I sleep at a holiday inn express. But I did goggle it since it’s an interesting question. The answer is no, a child does not lose citizenship status through the actions of his parents renouncing theirs. Minor children retain citizenship and can renounce it themselves only when they turn 18. So unless Barry did that on his own as an adult, his bona fides are in tact.

An obviously "human activity" had nothing to do with that interglacial peak.
Over tens and hundreds of million of year cycles, the Erf oscillated between "icehouse" and "greenhouse" states. Icehouse = polar ice caps, greenhouse - no polar ice caps.
Last greenhouse state was over 34 million years ago. Sea levels maybe 300 - 450' higher. Antarctica was still at the pole, but was a nice, warm, subtropical climate.
Mean summer temperature maybe 68F, mean winter maybe 54F or so. Life was thriving there, and completely adapted to the polar day/night cycle. That just fascinates me. Plant life adapated to 6 months of continuous sun, followed by 6 months of night. Animal life adapted there as well.

Again, Mandami's father: He was among the many students in the northern United States who made the bus journey south to Montgomery, Alabama in March 1965 to participate in the civil rights movement for a march organized by the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee.

I’ve read a fair amount of the history leading up to this, and never heard that. He kept a diary explaining his thoughts. He wasn’t real happy about it, but the driving emphasis since the program developed, was “this bomb may end the war”. It is impossible to overemphasize this point.

Just saw a post pop and then disappear. Anyway, it was an "akshually" pointing out the 6 months of night and day is only very close to the poles, with the continuous day night periods getting shorter the closer to the arctic circles.
Which is true, and I was speaking roughly. So, very long winters with very short periods of daylight for a while, followed by summers with very short periods of daylight.

I think at that time South American was still connected to Antarctica, and that broke up any chance of the circum-antarctic current that keeps Antarctica cold today.
This is what makes me suspect that during the two Dryas interludes Drake's passage was glaciated over, and this kept South America warmer in spite of the ice age.

And also very fascinating, during that last Eocene greenhouse state, the tropics weren't that much warmer than they are today. Not much at all. Land equatorial temperature average was apparently the same as today.
It was just the higher latitudes and poles were much warmer. Much higher sea levels was the other big difference. And life was absolutely thriving.

That was very gracious of him, the way he let the other guitar player have a big solo, and even stopped playing entirely for the bass showcase. That was the point where I realized that there was no acoustic double bass hiding somewhere else on stage, the visible bass player was just making his electric sound that way...

Heh. Commercial country music, the Top40 shit they play on commercial radio stations, has completely denigrated itself, now. It ain't country; it's just hiphop with a touch of twang to it.

Fascinating. Plants (and animals) in the warm polar regions adapted with much stronger seasonal behavior. Rapid growth during summer and long daylight periods, and dormancy during the longer low-light polar night periods.
The animals sort of did the same. "Torpor" during the low light periods. LIke Uncle Joe, they moved kinda slow. Then, come summer, they sped up.
Also, evidence of leaf adaptation to low sun angles.

Has it got a Leslie speaker? Those are what gave the B3 that distinctive vibrato.
There is a musician, Virgil Brown, who did an album in 2006 called Smoke Rings. He played his guitar through a Leslie speaker, resulting in a very moody sort of sound. I saw him live in Calgary around that time. Excellent album. Can be found on Spotify and Apple Music.

"The medical report into the man’s death described him as a 5ft11 black male weighing nearly 19 stone."
19 stone = 266 pounds
I had to look it up. An 1824 act standardized it at 14 pounds per stone for the official British imperial measure. In a minor bit of rebellion against their EU masters, they still use it for human body weight; a 1985 act forbade its use for commercial trade, but selling people is illegal too, so that cancels out. The proper use for e.g. 160 pounds would be "11 stone 6."

Thanks! The video quality isn't the best to begin with, and then it's in grayscale to boot. But a Hammond through a Leslie would make sense of the sound. It's really grabs your attention.

My grandparents did not march, but were part of a key moment in the civil rights movement. There's plenty of evidence of what happened, and they paid a dear price for it by having to uproot their family because of the backlash. But a new Christian college in Iowa benefitted quite a bit by that move. God works in mysterious ways.

3rd grade teacher would play, for us to sing along. Other classrooms... piano would just sit there in the back, unused.
Wish Mom & Dad would've just hired a teacher, but "that's too expensive" and besides, Mom knew how to play.. But she'd had *years* of instruction, played regularly, and seemed impatient with my progress. This may be why I don't much like classical music? She wouldn't let me try anything modern like Elton John's songs.

Our school system had a dedicated music teacher who made the rounds of all six or so public elementary schools in the district. This occurred for me in the span from fourth to sixth grade.
He administered a test of our musical aptitudes. I did not measure up, so I was not instructed in how to play a woodwind or brass instrument, although I had taken a couple of years to learn to play the piano in a rudimentary fashion.
It took the director of the junior high school band to enlist me to join and learn to play the B-flat bass (tuba, to the uninitiated). I was issued an upright one on which to practice at home, much to the dismay of the rest of our household. A year or two later I realized that all the members of our system's junior high and senior high bass sections had been press ganged into learning those instruments by Mr. S., the junior high band director.
Being in the H.S. band ranks in thd top three experiences of my time there.

I mean.. I think it's nonsense. It takes a child's naive incomprehension of global alignments to put Putin in the same breath as Netanyahu and Trump. But you have to accept that premise to address the conclusion and start counting guns.

It's nonsense.
Comfortable, freedom-bestowing wealth is built by the proletariat. Immense, generational wealth is built by war and the financial class.
Then the warmongers and financial class say "Hey we should share all this wealth we're all making!", the proletariat says "Lovely!", and the financial class steals all of the proletariat's wealth, calls them kulaks, and makes them all start disappearing if they start getting uppity about it.
