The Classical Saturday Morning Coffee Break & Prayer Revival
2) Be kind, be nice. Or don't get caught.
3) Running with sharp objects is no way to impress the one you want to.
4) Have a great weekend!
AoSHQ Weekly Prayer List Please submit any prayer requests to me, “Annie’s Stew” at apaslo at-sign hotmail dot com. Prayer requests are generally removed after four weeks unless we receive an update. Prayer Requests:
1/31 – George V asked for prayers for his wife. She needs a heart valve replacement but first needs a heart cath to assess the valve and determine the replacement procedure and perhaps put stents in the coronary arteries that may be partially blocked. Also, the preliminary CT scan of her heart showed spots on her lungs that may be cancerous.
2/21 Update – The prayers are working. Thanks be to God and everyone who prayed. The heart cath showed no blockages in her arteries. The heart valve procedure will be in about 4 weeks. The pulmonologist said the lung spots have a very low chance of being cancerous, but a second scan will tell for sure. So far good news, and thanks to all who prayed for her. 2/19 – mindful webworker requested prayers for his wife. Milady Jo will be having surgery on 2/26. It should be outpatient, and then a couple of weeks of recovery. Prayers are welcome for her, her surgeon, and her hapless husband while she’s down.
2/26 Update – The surgery is for Respiratory Epithelial Adenomatoid Hamartomak (REAH) – basically a blocked up nose. It’s relatively rare. It took a while to find an ENT whose diagnosis and surgical recommendation gave confidence. The surgery should improve her life greatly. It is scheduled for 1 pm.
2/28 Update – Thanks for the good thoughts and prayers for MiladyJo’s surgery. It took about 4 hours and seems to have been completely successful. There has been a great improvement in breathing and even appearance. She said that, after years of waiting, it seems like a dream, and that she knows with family, friends, and Morons and ‘Ettes, she is much loved. 2/20 – Gouveneur Morris requested prayers for herself as she has surgery scheduled for 2/27 for spondylolisthesis.
3/5 Update - Gouveneur Morris’ surgery was successful – every prayer and thought directed her way is appreciated. 2/21 - Skip asked for prayers for his sister and her two children, as they grieve their husband/father. The memorial service was on 2/21. 2/21 – Vmom deport deport deport asked for prayers for Gerry and Cathy, the elderly parents of her co-worker, B. Gerry and Cathy are in failing health, and B is bravely trying to keep them cared for and independent while also being a mom to her own kids. 2/21 – San Franpsycho requested a prayer for complete and immediate healing for PS, his oldest living relative, who is back in the hospital due to post-surgery fever and possible pneumonia. 2/21 – Sock Monkey asked for prayers of comfort and peace for Rickb223, who recently lost his wife to cancer. It was apparently a long battle and he was her primary caregiver. He is struggling. Please pray for him. 2/25 – LinusVanPelt posted a request for prayers for himself. He had a health scare and it’s freaking him out a bit. He had a real thing happen, and then received a clean bill of health, but has 2 more doctors to see. He can’t stop irrationally worrying that they’re going to say bad stuff (despite the real reason for the visits is to adjust medication levels).
2/28 Update – He woke up in a hospital ICU recently. Everything checked out, and it was a stress-induced incident, but that means he needs to make changes in his professional life. He is looking for the Lord’s guidance. 2/25 – Teresa in Fort Worth posted that she might need some prayers. Her PET scan was less than encouraging. She will have more information on 2/26.
2/27 Update – The newest chemo protocol appears to be working. Her cancer markers are below the “cancerous” range. So for now they will continue with 2 weeks of continuous medication delivered directly into the Hepatic Artery and 2 weeks off. Unfortunately, one of the meds is a low dose of steroids, so her appetite and her Zepbound are currently duking it out. 2/25 – Robert posted that he needed an ‘Ette to kindly bash his brains in. He is suffering yet another massive gout flare up, and needs someone to end it all for him. He asks for an ‘Ette because he knows women are capable of inflicting great violence with only love in their hearts. 2/26 – Farmer could use some prayers. A biopsy is scheduled soon. The dentist said he found a couple of suspect spots. After having had prostate cancer, anything like this really alarms him. 2/26 – Bluebell passed along news from winger: “Tomorrow (2/27) I go in for an all day marathon of tests and consultations. Then Monday (3/2) they will attempt the surgery. It is quite complex and they are not exactly sure they can do it. If they can, it will be a ten hour procedure. I confess to being a little apprehensive. The Rev is a little overwhelmed poor soul. Fortunately my two kids have me covered. My daughter the nurse for the medical side, and my son for the spiritual side. He has been a rock.”
3/10 Update – GrammieWinger’s son said she wanted us to know that she had surgery last Monday, and they were able to get most of the cancer, but they had to remove her colon. It’ll be a long recovery time, but she’s in good spirits and good hands. Grammie’s daughter has been at the hospital every day. Grammie Winger is very thankful for all of your prayers and she looks forward to talking with us soon! 2/27 – turambar posted that his/her mom had surgery for a broken left hip. Lots of pins and a rod were required to fix her up. She is in recovery now and doing okay, but she has a long road ahead since she is 86 years old. Thanks for your prayers; turambar appreciated them so much. 2/28 – 2009Refugee asked for prayers for an older sister who was scheduled for brain surgery on 3/4. 2/28 – no one of any consequence requested prayers for the repose of his oldest friend, who died on 2/22. His friend had returned to the church in recent years. No one of any consequence will be giving the eulogy at his memorial mass. 2/28 – San Franpsycho asked for prayers for P’nina Bat Surel, who remains hospitalized and still is not stabilized. 2/28 – Fenelon Spoke asked for prayers for a friend, P, who is dealing with a pinched nerve and has to have surgery in a week or so. She also has a daughter, K, who just got out of the hospital having had major mental health problems. 2/28 – LinusVanPelt requested prayers for our troops, President Trump, and for Israel’s government and the IDF as well. 2/28 – Sock Monkey requests prayers for Mrs. Sock. She crashed and burned pretty hard while skiing Thursday. She went to work very sore and using a cane. 2/28 – JJ posted that his wife was discharged from her rehab facility and her prognosis post shunt surgery to regain strength and physical abilities is excellent. 3/2 – RickZ posted that he received bad news. He went to the ER with muscle pain and came out with a cancer diagnosis. He could use prayers for an extremely capable oncological team of cancer specialists, and that God guides their hands and minds as they work to rid Rick of cancer. And also that God would provide him peace and calm, and to help sustain him through this trial. 3/5 – Inogame posted the good news that baby #5 arrived! Baby was overdue by 12 days. Mom and baby are doing well. Baby was 9 pounds 8 ounces, and 21.5 inches long. 3/5 – IrishEI has learned that she needs major surgery on 3/16, and she would really appreciate prayers. 3/7 – Uncle Slayton posted the good news that his son-in-law, Kenny, is almost 3 years cancer-free. He beat lymphoma and leukemia, and Uncle Slayton wanted to thank everyone who prayed for him. 3/7 – Joe Kidd sent an update on a previous prayer, for a young girl named Jasmine. She is the adopted daughter of a friend of a friend. She had been rescued from abuse, but was withdrawn, etc. The friend took the family on an RV trip, and with lots of TLC for Jasmine, things have improved. It appears that God has surrounded this young girl with an army of angels, and your prayers for her are being heard. May those listed here and whispered elsewhere receive similar affirmation. 3/7 – vmom deport deport deport requested prayers for GB, the husband of her friend; he just had a quadruple bypass a couple of days ago, following a heart attack. 3/10 – Warai-otoko asked for prayers for a sister-in-law with some respiratory issues, who just took a hard turn for the worse. Thanks to everyone, even if you just take a fraction of a second for it. 3/10 – Update on Susan, who we have been praying for as she battles cancer. She is hospitalized again with an infection in her colon that quickly turned bad. The doctor says the signs are sepsis but they are running tests to make sure. The good news is that the pancreatic cancer was and is responding to the chemo and her cancer numbers are going down. God bless and thank you!
3/19 Update – Susan is still in the hospital, but she is doing 100% better. The doctors are not ready to release her yet, but everything is going in the right direction. They keep saying “maybe tomorrow”. 3/11 – Bulg sends a prayer of thanks. He called his formerly estranged sister on her birthday, and they had a wonderful conversation. It was their second conversation since February, and there was no animosity at all. 3/11 – Doof sent his appreciation for the Horde’s prayers for his mom, who has been in post-hospitalization rehab since mid-January. She has recovered from her illnesses, but her body seems to be increasingly giving up on her. PT has become too painful and exhausting for her. She is also having increased brain fog and is rapidly losing the ability to do things like answer her phone or send texts. Continued prayers requested for her, as she is very sad, and also for Doof and his sister as they figure out what’s next.
3/16 Update – Doof’s mother is not doing very well. Her 100 days of post-hospital rehab will be ending soon, and she is not nearly recovered enough to live alone. She’s almost completely confined to bed. She will be moved to long-term care soon, and will likely be there for the rest of her life. They appreciate the prayers. 3/14 – Retired Buckeye Cop asks for prayers for Mrs. Cop’s cousin, “A.B”. He has been diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver. He is a retired police officer who was hit by a car years ago. He attempted to deal with the pain by self-medicating with too much Tylenol, which ended up poisoning his liver. His only alternative is a liver transplant, but he is uncertain if he wants to have surgery. 3/18 – TecumsehTea requests prayers, as her husband was fired from a job he enjoyed very much on 3/17. Prayers are needed for peace, direction, and clarity. They trust God will provide the right job at the right time, and that He would give them peace in the waiting. TecumsehTea is still dealing with the effects of her heart attack last July. Prayers for healing, as her BP continues to be unstable. Chronic Lyme disease and autoimmune disease complicates everything. She trusts that God is faithful and good and He will take care of their needs. For submission guidelines and other relevant info, please contact Annie's Stew, who is managing the prayer list. You can contact her at apaslo at-sign hotmail dot com. If you see a prayer request posted in a thread comment, feel free to copy and paste it and e-mail it to Annie's Stew. She tries to keep up with the requests in the threads, but she's not here all of the time, so she may not see it unless you e-mail it to her. Please note: Prayer requests are generally removed after four weeks or so unless we receive an update. 2 Corinthians 4:8-9
We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair, persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed.

Many things in life are a Catch 22 - You cannot get none unless you are getting some!
This case - always easier to get a job if you have a job (and desire a better one).
Go to Manpower, or any other temp agency, or headhunters.
Take anything, then look for anything better and work to move up.

I just mention this b/c his field (and all bio science type fields) is overstuffed with laid off feds with masters level degrees and years+ of experience, so he's unlikely to be able to break in, especially on the east coast...too many people fighting for too few jobs. The feds didn't really leave this area.
So, he may need to bide his time. And while doing so, he doesn't want to let his resume turn stale, especially as he's so young. He wants to be doing, even if he's not paid for doing. Collecting certs or licenses and training, collecting good employment recs, even in fields that aren't his.

Maybe he can go in person to various garden / park related centers and ask?
It is spring, they must need manpower.

Read a lengthy post yesterday on Iran by a non-military person just trying to sort out the news.
My take away of that analysis is the biggest factor in Iran's favor is they organized their IRGC divisions (~40) to operate independent of central command if they lose C3.
IOW, it looks like they are popping off in all directions because they are by design. This would make it hard to occupy them... not that anyone wants to.
This actually backfired on them as while attacked by countries 'A' and 'B', the disjointed divisions respond by attacking countries 'C', 'D', 'E', 'F'....

I don't want to say he's dispirited, but he's still really struggling that at this point in his career (45+years) he made that kind of an error. I'm not making excuses for him, it just seems that outright termination was a bit much. But, big corp, safety is primary, I get all that. It's hard to see someone who has worked so hard have it all disappear just like that.

Could have knocked me over with a feather.
She remains estranged, but my wife is painstakingly nudging her back to it, patiently listening to her quotes from the Holy Prophet ChatGPT and offering qualified agreement and gentle correction where appropriate.

Fen,
Has your son considered starting his own landscaping design maintenance small usiness? As someone said earkier, collect some certs, volunteer at an assisted kiving center with a (small) colorful potted plant class that could go in their rooms.
for the small usiness, start small, go to a county parole office and ask how to get on their list of small businesses availa le to hire non-violent parolees. your church, can also be part of that new parole environment as well. this is something I've thougjt about doing at retirement myself if I'm still healthy enough to do so.

Their assumption was that we would invade them as we did Iraq and Afghanistan. What they did not count on was that we would simply blockade their economy while systematically destroying their leadership. Those isolated cells will eventually run out of ammunition, and when it becomes clear that the US can maintain this state of affairs indefinitely, morale will collapse.
Also important: Iran is far more politically mature than any of the Arab states. It has an ancient culture that has proven itself capable of self-rule. There is no need to install a "strongman" in Iran because it posses a knowledge of institutions that makes a limited monarchy feasible and they can do it by themselves.

The key element in all these suggestions is that he get a job, any job. I worked in a photography studio for a while, then on a few campaigns, unloaded trucks, stamped widgets, did polling, telemarketing and lawyer referrals.
When you present a resume that shows all that, the employer sees that you want to work. Later on, for space reasons you can drop the menial crap, focusing on relevant skills, but as others said: want a job? Get a job.

He had what he thought was a good relationship with his employer and then they broke up with him- that's probably what it feels like.
IMO don't make excuses for the employer. Eff them. They threw away a longtime good worker at the first opportunity. Did they think he was getting old? Was his payrate getting too high? There are all sorts of possible reasons.
Consider looking (on your own) for a lawyer through the public service agencies.
If the employer disputes UE, he will need one.

3 Democratic pastors in Iowa are running for Congress, a snapshot of a national trend.
After years of white Christians overwhelmingly supporting Republican Donald Trump, a striking number of clergy are currently running for political office as Democrats. While James Talarico, a 36-year-old Presbyterian seminarian who recently won his Texas primary for U.S. Senate, has gained national attention, he's hardly the only progressive candidate with a theological education this midterm season.
Democrats' next challenge is to figure out how to talk about faith for the long haul in a party that's more religiously diverse than Republicans and has a greater number of voters who aren't religious at all.
Democrats now see glossing over religious differences isn’t the answer. “That left a vacuum that the religious right has filled. And there are a lot of people now realizing that it is really important to speak about these issues from the perspective of faith and claim their faith."

I can see bitter-enders breaking up into terror cells, but the parallel is imprecise because by 1945, the American people were sick of war. We had crushed the Nazis, and had pounded the Japanese to the point where cutting a deal seemed better than losing a million casualties, hence use The Bombs.
Iran's situation is radically different. We can blockade from a distance, and I think it's (darkly) hilarious that an F-35 *finally* may have caught a million-dollar bullet and this is some sort of "win" for Iran. Sure, Jan.
I'm pretty sure arms are already being delivered to interested parties and as the IRGC is broken down into smaller cells, they will be unable to support each other in the face of local superiority.
A key development will be Trump pivoting to Cuba or even Greenland, waving the laser pointer so that the media forgets Iran and focuses on something else, wrecking the info op.

IIRC that sort of range implies exoatmospheric reentry. Something that's pretty complex. Maybe Russia's helping Iran with crunching those type of numbers?

Towards.... not exactly precision targeting.
Posted by: man at March 21, 2026 09:26 AM (XuXeR)
I don't think most if any Iranian short-to-medium (intermediate) range missiles have mid-course guidance correction capability. I think they are essentially bigger SCUDs which are essentially German V2s in guidance systems. The process is to predetermine launch and target locations, best as you can. Calculate the distance and the needed launch azimuth (direction relative to true north), including Coriolis effect (rotation of the Earth while the missile is in flight). Align the launch platform reference line to true north. Set the missile's relatively simple on-board guidance system to keep the thing aligned with the pre-set azimuth and command engine shut-down time according to the range-to-target.
Launch!
In principle it's not much different than a person throwing a ball from right field to home plate. Both are on a ballistic trajectory. A person's brain computes the angle and velocity to release the ball to get it to the catcher. Shorter the distance, better the accuracy.

The Dems are becoming the meme: "No, I don't believe anything in that book, I think it's nonsense, but if I quote it to you, maybe you will do what I want."
They have such a stunted understanding of religious people that they think it is some sort of herd instinct because that is how they operate. All they have to do is send someone superficially similar to what they think we like, and we will sheepishly fall in line.
But that's been tried in the religious field for 30 years. It worked at first, but the project has completely failed and the new generations see it from a mile a way and are utterly unconvinced by it. These people simply cannot understand why young women are choosing to wear the veil again. No, you won't reach them by appeals to feminism.
The deeper dynamic is that young men are driving the trend and women will inevitably follow. It's just like college. Go where the guys are.

Yup. With such a guidance system, you can program the missile to hit the Israeli Defense Forces HQ, or the control tower at the big US airbase in the UAE, or a specific tanker docked in Kuwait. You'll hit something else 99.995% of the time. Maybe a few hundred yards away, maybe several miles away. There are lots of variables. Wind speed and direction in the upper atmosphere, precision of the missile guidance gyroscope package, actual engine thrust compared to specification thrust, time of actual engine shut-down, and more.

I tried to talk one g-son into that. Fortunately, I'll be long gone when he hits retirement with what's left of SS (if anything) as his sole income after a lifetime in retail.
At any rate, here's the free advice (worth every penny!) I gave him. Pass it on to your young'uns.
IBEW apprenticeship program in low voltage wiring. When done with that, find a two year Associate Degree in locksmithing.

I'm somewhat surprised we haven't seen terror attacks here in the US. Thousands of Middle Eastern men crossed over the border during *biden's reign and most of them have remained fairly quiet... but there does seem to be an uptick in Islamic terror attempts here at home.

Iran has always been more bluster than actual capability. The “sleeper cell” storyline has been a popular scare story for 85 years now; first it was the fear of Nazi saboteurs in WW2, then it shifted to Soviet sleeper cells during the Cold War; and once they went away the stories became Muslim sleeper cells.
Now in fact there have been agents sent to cause harm, such as Mohammed Atta and his 9/11 crew. So these stories remain alive in the public consciousness; but for the most part they’re just public scaremongering.

Is there really such a thing as a "rocket scientist"? There are engineers that design test build the things, basically do all the stuff. And there are scientists that don't do stuff and instead think about things. I think that once a scientist actually does something they are kicked out of the science club and become engineers.

That approach is doomed to failure. Whatever sort of "Christianity" such a Lefty pastor/politician offers is -- at best -- merely a re-hashing of gnosticism: "Hey kids, with this neat trick [secret knowledge] we can have utopia." Um ... it doesn't work like that.
At worst, we see creatures like that demon-possessed dude down in Texas uttering blasphemies such as is would have been totes cool if Mary aborted Jesus.
Marxism is an inversion of Christianity: it purports to have compassion for the poor, but its practitioners must commit the Sins of Pride, Avarice, Envy and Wrath.

Ann Barnhardt once said that, when only men had the vote, they were concerned not just with their own affairs, but how their choice would affect their own families.
And now we have husbands and wives negating each other's political choices out of existence because each is thinking only of their own preferences.
It's an argument with flaws, but I tend to support it. Of course, I also think universal suffrage was an even bigger mistake.

Let's not leave out no-fault divorce, which destroyed marriage. At its core, feminism is Satanic because it desires to maximize 'freedom' and eliminate consequences from one's own poor judgement. Think of the massive growth of government - not just federal, but on the local level.
Family courts, CPS, Friend of the Court, the whole PPO nightmare, all because the core of society, the extended family rooted in community had to be swept away in the name of "freedom."
What is even worse is how completely wasteful an ineffective it all is. Did we eliminate spousal abuse? No, we've increased it. Have we made childhood happier? No, we've eliminated it. Have we made women happier? Hell no. Human are literally dying out. We want to kill babies, castrate children and have the state help us kill ourselves.
What level of fail do we need to achieve?

I give you Robert Goddard, who had seminal ideas about rocketry and then built the damn things.
100 years ago just yesterday he launched the first liquid-fueled rocket on his quest to put rockets into space.
The New York Times wrote an editorial at the time: "Silly rabbit! It won't work in a vacuum!" Not understanding his papers that showed that it would.
You have to call Goddard the Grandfather of Rocketry because he never got proper funding in the US. The Father was Dr Strangleove -- Werner von Braun -- creator of the V2, who wrote a book "I aim for the stars" One review replied "But you mostly hit London."

They loved it. The premise was the real life story of a guy, a known outlaw in the early 1900s that was killed and his corpse became a traveling sideshow attraction. Carnivals, wax museums, parks, up until he was finally buried in 1977. It goes into all the show managers who bought and sold him and fought over getting him in their acts.

Also, some of the same nurseries also do cloning, and that is real bench-work.d
Don't just apply with nurseries, also try out the companies that do orchards, cherry and apple growers, for example, will change over their trees to varieties they see as being more saleable, and they graft those in the field using chainsaws, heavy knives and hammers,

We never needed no-fault as a correction for abuse, that's always been grounds for divorce. In my parent's case, in 1948. But we do need a mechanism to allow the correction of mistakes in everything, including marriage, but we also.need negative feedback, which no-fault doesn't provide.
How about spousal support payments, defined legislatively. Her career is more important than her marriage? Buy your way out.

Back when I worked in politics, there was a bill up to make everything default to even split in a no-fault.
The divorce lawyer's lobbyist came to the committee hearing and bluntly stated the following: "in CO, two-thirds of divorces are initiated by women, because the law is so lopsided in their favor. We don't care who the system is rigged to favor, as long as it favors someone, because equitable laws would mean a drastic reduction in divorce. Everyone on this committee should understand that if this bill makes it to the floor, then none of you are getting reelected. We'll make sure of that."

I'll believe it when I see it. Or six months after that, really.
Meanwhile the Windows 10 IoT Enterprise Edition still exists (and there's a Windows 11 version that is also less broken than the Home edition, if you need support for recent features like Ethernet-over-Thunderbolt.)
Tech News
- Opera GX is here for Linux. (Nerds.xyz)
This is not the browser you are looking for. Opera is now owned by a group whose primary business is payday loans in Africa. The entire technical team left and launched Vivaldi.
I'm not saying that Opera GX is actively scamming users; I'm just saying that I would not need to borrow Sarah Hoyt's shocked face if that turned out to be the case.
- Blue Origin has filed an application with the FCC to launch 51,600 datacenters into space. (Tom's Hardware)
That seems to be rather a lot.
- Suspicious compliance: The story of Delve. (Substack)
Who will certify the certifiers?
- Trump's AI framework targets state laws, sifts child safety burden to parents. (Tech Crunch)
Well. I had mixed feelings about this: Tenth Amendment notwithstanding, state legislation on complex technical issues is usually bad, but federal legislation on complex technical issues is also usually bad. And in this particular case, the people working and reporting on the complex technical issues are also usually bad.
But if Tech Crunch is against it, I'm sold.
- Another day, another state: Don't-call-it-gambling agency Kalshi is banned in Nevada. (Tech Crunch)
Not that Nevada is against gambling, just that the state demands its cut.

Posted by: JQ
Our two kids (biologically, the missus') are taking care of their biological father, who is afflicted with terminal cancer fueled by him failing to see a doctor for over a decade. He basically spent his retirement years (a decade or so) voluntarily shut in, while playing video games. That, and occasionally teaming up with the son's idiot in-laws to mindlessly parrot leftists' talking points.
Anyway, both kids are taking turns tending to him at his home. Son took a leave of absence from work under the Family Leave Medical Act, through which his wife assured him his workplace will be required that his employer will take him back without let or hindrance. So income stream lessened at his home, the domicile of the two gKids, of whom I speak here fairly often.
The stricken father, now home bound and incapable of moving himself, has become an anchor who will bring down both of his kids futures, because assisted living facilities won't cater to his every need on the spot and they are something with which he and his two kids will not abide. He is being a selfish asshole and his kids will be the victims.

The orchard and farm adjacent to our neighborhood once had a variety of farm animals on view. A horse and pony, a pig, a hutch of rabbits, a peacock, several goats, and a cohort of ducks and chickens. Over the course of two decades that collection, outside of the cohort of ducks and chickens, had dwindled down to the peacock and one goat as of last fall. I'll have to go pay a visit soon to see who is still with us.
It was a great place to take the gKids on our walks when they were younger.

I can empathize with our kids wanting to care for a parent as he is leaving this life. My sister and I did that for our own mother over the course of six months and it was tough as we were not trained for the totality of what care meant. Mom also was ambulatory, by and large.
However, both my sister and I were retired, financially sound and not responsible for anyone other than our selves and our spouses. We were not subject to the judgement of an employer for our continued financial well being. Nor were we afflicted with beliefs that an outside force -- the gubmint -- had matters in hand and would "take care of us", to use that simp in the audience's phrase from the Bush / Clinton / Perot debate at the University of Richmond in 1992.
I do not think that our two children are reading the room well for these times. That is the nub of it.

Salty and Notsothoreau have been cheering the qualities of north central Kansas for a while. Looking at KS houses on Realtor, I find I like the entire look of them better than I did the ones in Indiana and Kentucky. So, maybe there.
I ask little: a nice cottage, 2-3 beds, no fixer-upper, with a bit of a porch and a garage for my car to sleep in. Maybe an eat-in kitchen with a back door out onto a small yard. And neighbors, I hope, who don't drive their cars blasting (c)rap music all the time.

I was going to run along US 54, to Yates Corners -- the junction with US 75. I'll drive up from here to Pine Bluff, AR, for the first night; join I-40 near Little Rock and head west; north on I-49 to Nevada, MO, then left on US 54. A distance/time calculator on the 'Net says each leg should be about 6.5 hours, which probably means 8.

North of there a bit you'll see a nuke plant to the east.

In late '20 I bought four Continentals for the Buick. Only one has survived. I killed one in early '24, hitting a spur-like curb near my work; then two more a month later in a nasty rain-covered pothole at my apartment complex. So the RF Continental and the two Kellys on the rear are only two years old; the LF Conti is five and more.

I mean, what do you want to know? Lots of Catholic apologetics out there. Look up Scott Hahn on youtube and you can see how he went from a rising star in the Reformed movement to staunch Catholic. Taylor Marshall was also a Protestant who converted. I keep seeing this Joshua Charles guy on X who is a bit younger and may relate better.
If things continue to calm down here, I'm planning on being and OCIA sponsor in the fall (that's how people come into the Catholic Church). I'm a convert, and was a sponsor in 2016. I really enjoyed it, but it took up a lot of time and my wife said I couldn't do it until 1) the kids grew up and 2) I was out of the Guard. So now I can!

We should work to provide for the orphaned, the needy, the abused, the aged, the helpless, and the sick. We should speak on behalf of the unborn and contend for the sanctity of all human life from conception to natural death. Every Christian should seek to bring industry, government, and society as a whole under the sway of the principles of righteousness, truth, and brotherly love. In order to promote these ends Christians should be ready to work with all men of good will in any good cause, always being careful to act in the spirit of love without compromising their loyalty to Christ and His truth.

He did earn his Friskies today. I had the door open and the screen door shut, and he was sitting, looking out. Suddenly he stiffened, staring intently upward. I know that look, so I followed his gaze. WASP! I whipped off my slipper and let the little arthropod have it. Then I tossed the corpse out, shut the door, and gave Stirling a handful of kitty treats.
This must be the sixth or seventh wasp he's spotted since his first summer.

As an "experienced" Catholic of 4 days, following a lifetime of being a happy then not thrilled Presbyterian...there's a book that my son recommended by Scott Hahn. He was a conservative Presbyterian minister and theologian who converted, obviously a harder time than I had (altho I don't plan to tell my 95yr old mother, but I won't lie to her, either). Similar thoughts however his were far deeper than mine.
I now have 3 books by him and will order more. Questions were answered.
The book is called Rome Sweet Home.
I hope this helps.

First up is Alex Kapranos, who turns 54 today. He is the lead singer (and songwriter, guitarist, and keyboardist) of Franz Ferdinand, but I decided to look for something other than their well-known hit "Take Me Out," and I found a deep cut with the Moron-friendly name "Wine In The Afternoon." It's a non-album track, just the B-side of the single for "Eleanor Put Your Boots On," and... wow. It's pretty, but dark. I was expecting a light-hearted "Summer Wine," and it's more like "Haha What A Serious Drinking Problem Funny Right":

But not as dark as Chester Bennington! Lead vocalist for Linkin Park (among others), he was born on this date in 1976; but he is not 50, because he hung himself in the end, in July of 2017. That is also the title of this award-winning MTV Best Rock Video (how's that for a segue):

Don't. Just go, find a pew in the back and take it in. Don't worry about not knowing when to kneel or stand because no one cares. We don't have Inquisitors policing the pews. (Well, maybe the SSPX does, who knows?)

Victor Davis Hanson's book on the Peloponnesian Wars, A War Like No Other was lucid and learned. It explained the war better than I had read in my lifetime.

I feel like that in most churches. But the Catholic church Miss Linda and I go to on Christmas Eve every year or so is beautiful, and there is a timeless dignity to the mass. So I follow along, rise, kneel, and sit when everybody else does, and admire the half-size painted figures of the Nativity scene next to us.

Well, you can go up with the other communicants during Mass but simply cross your arms over you chest when you reach the priest. This is the universal sign that you are not receiving Communion and the priest will normally simply bless you and not offer you a host.

There is actually a class you go to, typically once a week that usually starts around September and culminates at Easter where you are fully acctptrd into the Catholic Church.
No Communion dry run, but you learn about the sacraments.

I discovered I am quite popular with her friends who wanted me to play with them in their class. I sat on the little wooden chair and they yapped. The big haha was that she calls me Nana and they call me Banana and I am fine with this.
Cute kids. When it's time to go the girls hug each other like they will never see each other again. I asked one mother if this is due to being Friday or everyday. Everyday.
One kid, who appears dot Indian, had a strange green booger connecting from one nostril to another like the septum rings of liberal wimmen. So I probably have Delhi Disease now on top of barely getting over RSV (which has taken a toll and I am still not 100%). Otherwise he was cute and laughed because I can't say his name.

No, this is LM's sequel, showing Capt. Call some years later when he has basically retired from "rangering." He is hired by a wealthy businessman to stop a bandit who is holding up the tycoon's railroad cars and killing people without rhyme or reason -- one of LM's serial killers in the Old West.
Dead Man's Walk was chronologically Gus and Call's first adventure as Rangers, as young men. Then came Comanche Moon, which I think was just his teleplay and not a novel first; then Lonesome Dove, and last Streets of Laredo.

You're welcome! My mother was raised Catholic and though she left the Church, we would spend Christmas with her parents and going to Midnight Mass was mandatory. So I just did what everyone else did. Same thing at Easter. After a while I figured it out. Pretty easy to do just do what everyone else does and - I want to make this very clear - NO ONE CARES IF YOU DO NOT GO UP TO RECIEVE COMMUNION.
Really. I sat in the pew while my grandparents and (when they were there) aunts and uncles went up, and not a peep.

Back in a previous millennium, when I was in 9th Grade, a girl friend asked me if I'd go with her to her church, which was (AFAIK) the only Catholic church in town. Sure, why not?
Things were fine until it came to Communion. I was all baptized and confirmed, qualified to partake, in my native (pre-woke) Episcopal church, but I asked my friend whether I should go up and receive communion. She assured me that would be fine.
I went up, I knelt with her, and then, I was obviously doing it wrong (hands out instead of tongue out I later learned), and the priest gave me such a scorching glare! I don't even remember if he gave me a wafer or just waved his hand over me, but I've never forgotten that glare. I just knew I was not Of The Body by his reckoning. Infidel!
My mother-in-law (God bless her sainted soul) was a devout Catholic, so I've been to a Catholic church a few times since, for funerals and Bingo. Was never again tempted to partake of the Communion ritual there.
Also, that girl and I went separate ways.

The dude buys a stetson hat somewhere in Arizona maybe, then finds out it will cost $800 to send it home to the UK, so he goes back to the store and buys some serious looking hat box, almost a flight case looking thing for $90 and now has it strapped on the bike for the rest of the trip. This is the recent one when they hit LA. The comments section is great.

Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton. Another convert and American.
I did not have to attend classes long as I was baptized Presbyterian and most Protestant baptisms under The Trinity are recognized.
The unbaptized are in classes from fall to the Saturday before Easter. I did go to many classes because I liked them and the people I met.
I also discovered one of my many quirks in that I can no longer tell people's ages. Make friends with 20yr olds thinking they are son's ages, etc. Something might be wrong with me but it's too late now!

Part of the reason we are where we are politically is that for almost 100 years the FNM has decided whether to air a politician's dirty laundry solely based on whether or not they currently like that politician and the voters keep failing for it.
Imagine, for example, a world where Bill Clinton gets the Roy Moore treatment in 1992. It might have meant the end of the D party with Perot and his people replacing them whole hog...

........................
Interesting in that I mentioned Scott Hahn today to a friend of our son's at the school deal. He remains in the liberal PCUSA church. He greeted me with a hug as for some reason he likes me and I told him I recently converted and a year ago I would not have considered it.
Mentioned Rome Sweet Home to him as well.
His books are very easy to read and he writes well.
Son's friend either listened and considered, or may not hug me next time. I am far from pushy or know it all, I stated personal feelings.
His daughter is our first grandgirl's best friend. For some reason he seeks me out to talk to and is a kind young man.
I did end our conversation in that everyone simply needs to find what they are looking for in worship. I know he feels like the PCUSA has gone too liberal (and they have, big time).
Find a church where you feel peace and that you've worshipped after church/Mass. I haven't felt that in a long time til the last half year.

However, I never attended a Catholic service of any kind except weddings until very recently. In '84 Mrs. W. No. 2's best friend got married in the famous St. Louis Cathedral (her father was a fireman, and had called in some favors). The main thing I recall? Mrs. W. No. 2, who had gone to Catholic school as a girl, going up to one of the fonts, dipping some water, genuflecting briefly, crossing herself, and then murmuring to me, "Don't ever tell my father I did that." (Her father was a notorious agnostic or atheist.)

Well the first time I was in a 3 lane major intersection at the STOP light with a left turn that the next place to pull over was a quarter mile over the bridge.
I was in the middle lane to go straight into downtown (little village) or right on access road to main hiway.
Welp
My body said no fuckn way I am keepin this so I started my flashers and stepped out of truck and proceeded to paint a new strip down the road.

The therapyization of our society has been a catastrophe. It has some usefulness but it's been misapplied to remove moral culpability and personal responsibility, as well as create identity groups and social media clout out of mental disorders and just plain bad behavior. Also, unsurprisingly, therapy-speak gets weaponized by dark triad sorts who know how to work that system for their benefit and others' detriment.

It was night and rainy. I changed lanes, didn't see him. My left rear door rubbed the rim of his right steering tire. Could have pitted me but I pulled away immediately. His lug nuts did a job on my door. No damage to him according to my wife.
We exchanged information and he took off. No police report. I called his office and spoke to his wife next day. It is a two truck company. She said they were not going to make a claim and I said neither was I.
Couple of weeks later my insurance co. called and the truck company is making a claim for some damages and the driver/owner is claiming injury. Fucking injury. My insurance is taking care of it. Been with them 55 years. Told me not to worry, they got this. Still nervous driving, will not drive at night again.

That's ok, I don't understand completely but as an intercessory prayer. I don't pray TO her as she is not God. I realize this makes no sense and it's ok, but as I view it.
Intercessory prayer is when you pray for someone on earth...so it's extra. You may never meet this person.
I have a very tiny brain and this is how I see it after being Presbyterian all of my life.
As far as asking the saints to pray for something, well, I've asked my Daddy for help at times, so no different, except he's only a saint to me.
Catholics pray to The Trinity.
I memorized over a decade ago an Anglicized prayer of St. Benedict from a prayer card in Westminster Abbey (my 2nd visit to London).I start my evening prayer with this:
O gracious and holy Father
Give us wisdom to perceive you
Diligence to seek you
Patience to wait for you
Eyes to behold you
A heart to meditate on you
And a life to proclaim you through the power of the Spirit of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

He has a 2001 town car. they are known to lose balljoints, like pull out of the socket, lose steering, and then you die. he lost one at 10mph, needed a flatbed for $300 and then fixes it...one side only. Uh, asshole, the other side is as old, not gonna heal itself, are you frigging stupid?? He borrows the ball joint tools, goes through all that, and does 1 side. 2 months later...you guessed it, poof. His plumbing is leaking because he used black pipe on the hot water heater and its rusting. Well, now his health is failing, his moble home is shot, he has no money because he reused to get a job, maxed his cards, etc etc. He sends me 3 doom texts a day.

He had a F250 diesel pickup, pulled a 26' fifth-wheel trailer which he lived in...a real beaten POS that I helped him repair last year. Looked like he'd scraped *many* things on both sides. (all likely hit & run.)
Well, dumbass didn't check things like he should've & one of the wheels came flying off. He couldn't find it, perhaps didn't even notice it missing until stopped at a rest area. Cop patrolling rest area helped him disconnect & called a tow service for him. Too much $ whines bro-- so he abandons the POS trailer, goes to AZ.

As a convert from Lutheranism, it took me a while, but Mary is asked to pray/intercede for us; basically like asking you to pray for me, although (no offense) she might have a little more pull with her Son. (Holy Mary, pray for us sinners...) Of course, prayers also go directly to Jesus.

I'm sure they expend extra fuel incinerating the fetuses. Yes it sounds nasty, but do you think Planned Parenthood murder centers do something better? I doubt it, I'm sure legally the fetuses are considered medical waste. In England they probably dual purpose the medical waste incinerators in some hospitals to run steam heat or something like that.

BIL says it was dark and he couldn't find his phone or wallet, so started walking after 'getting stuck'. I figure he fell asleep or goofed, ran off-road, knew his license was suspended and didn't want to get arrested (not first offense) so took off.
He stayed with "friends" until destroying their welcome mat & got a bus ticket to my town.

I dunno, Gates of Fire is one of my all-time favorite books (and I had one or two false starts with it). Tides of War was a major struggle for me (I probably started it half a dozen times over a decade before I finally soldiered through it, and that's despite the one part I really like being at the beginning, and rather liking the narrative frame structure). Probably subject matter. The peloponnesian war, Sicily especially, is just freaking BLEAK, man. I had a tough time with Tom Holt's The Walled Orchard too.

Oh, that canard has come around again. Human flesh has a negative BTU value. It takes more BTU's to boil off the water before what remains can burn and give a little heat. Even if fetuses were made out of 100% anthracite coal, which they are not, they are so small that they would not provide enough heat to keep a phone booth warm.
They probably have a heating boiler that does double-duty as an incinerator, because you pretty much have to incinerate "med waste" whether it is a fetus or Granny's gall bladder, because such stuff is an infection hazard. But it costs them in fuel, probably natural gas, to burn it.
I am in no way a supporter of abortion, but the notion that they are gleefully burning babies to keep the shop warm simply does not pass the smell test.

Yeah he is mechanical, but he is a butcher of the highest order. His motto is "I gotta use what I got", and there isn't enough space for me to explain how far he takes that. rust spot on a light green car? No problem, I got a can of shit blue I'll use. Don't go to the autoparts store for some close touch up, nooo, I gotta use what I got. He's building a classic car, a '62 dodge lancer. Its like the 3 stooges are doing it. He butchered every square inch of this car with mods so horrifying I can't explain them. The car originally had 2 headlights on each side. He removed the highbeams, replaced the low beam with a hi/low bulb to free up the space the high beam took up, because he made air intakes to bring air into the motor compartment. On paper, not a bad thing. BUT, its piped with PVC drain pipe, and the the frigging grill caps are from a shower drain. It looks absolutely 3rd world. Shower drain strainers sitting next to the headlights. Every inch of this car has dozens of these "greater ideas".

CBS News announced Friday that CBS News Radio will be shutting down this spring after nearly 100 years of broadcasting. The company cited "challenging economic realities" and a shift in radio programming strategies as reasons behind the decision.
About 700 affiliated stations nationwide carry CBS News Radio programming, which will end on May 22. All jobs on the radio team will be eliminated, the company said.

Revelation 22:18-19: “If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: and if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book”.

You would have a coronary if you saw this car. He rewired the whole car with 4 colors. Red, white, blue, black. No loom, no shrink tube. He used zip ties every 2 inches on the wires in the engine bay....fluorescent green ones. Not black, thats too easy. He didn't label any of the wires, has no clue what they are for. It took him 2 weeks to retrace what he did, and that was months ago, and still didn't label them. He ripped out the original dash gauge cluster, and made a new one from wood, using miss matched brands of gauges, so there is no symmetry. He cut out all the structure behind the rear seat and moved it back a few inches and rebuilt it with angle iron and bolts like a large erector set. The reason? The rear seats need new covers, so lets just lose the seats. Fucking Jay Assrack.

Yes. It arrived this morning. Then I told BIL to pack his stuff while I visited hubby at lunch time (our daily routine).
Then took BIL to phone store, to get his old phone cancelled and move his # to new phone. Got it set up, but could not recover his data or phone logs. (So-- he has no one else to call, to try to mooch.)
I conveniently forgot to give him MY number when checking him in at shelter. He listed me as "emergency contact" so shelter has it, but I instructed them to NOT give it to BIL because I don't want him calling constantly for every little fking thing.

3. An increasing number of Iranian Government second stringers are being diverted, with extreme prejudice, to unscheduled meetings at AllaYou's Snackbar;
3.The Gayatollah appears to have not survived his pedicure. On the positive side, he'll no longer have to worry about boutiques not having shoes in his size.

They have a contest in France where you try to out-weird everybody. This two-man team won and it wasn't even close.

...
Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana said it was under a shelter-in-place order March 9 after “a report of an unmanned aerial system operating over the installation.”
...
“Between March 9-15, 2026, BAFB Security Forces observed multiple waves of 12-15 drones operating over sensitive areas of the installation, including the flight line, with aircraft displaying non-commercial signal characteristics, long-range control links and resistance to jamming,” the document said.
“After reaching multiple points across the installation, the drones dispersed across sensitive locations on the base.”

Today was my first day taking care of the dog Ralphy, 14, who really hurt his leg the night before. I bought him what I thought was his last meal on the way to the vet.
He's on pills the vet assured takes care of the pain. He's still limping but so much better than yesterday. I'm carrying him up and down stairs and outside and inside so it heals nicely.
He's not the lightest thing but it's only a few weeks. That was my day without the Horde.

It's Friday evening, pizza night at Chez Wolfus. Tonight it's a Tony's pepperoni. We had a special deal earlier this week with a fresh-made one from Fresh Market, so why not save a couple bucks on the second? And I like the Tony's pizzas, with their crisp but not thick crust.
"The Enemy Within" is on Trek tonight on Heroes & Icons. I never saw it when it was new, and James Blish had not done it as an adaptation. So when it ran one Saturday afternoon during my high school years, I was riveted. Richard Matheson was a top-flight storyteller, wasn't he?

I used to guide a Father - Son duo who were both cardiac surgeons. They both smoked more than I did. They both swore that it was only the unfiltered cigarettes that would get you.
Don't know if it was just cope. But, I never smoked a filtered cigarette after I met those two.

Padalecki is a good actor, but his strengths are not the same as Chuck displayed. Portraying his Walker as a top-notch investigator would have made the show watchable, maybe even compelling. I wonder if it ever got better -- it ran for four seasons, after all.

It's possible -- just possible, now, but there has been some research on it -- that the substances the cigarette companies put into the white sticks to keep you addicted are the real danger. The nicotine may be addictive, yes, but it may also have analgesic properties. When I was working, if I got up feeling like I'd been wrestling instead of sleeping, a short pipe smoke would often smooth things out. Still does.
And it may be a coincidence. But I haven't had a single infection like a cold or the coof since 2022, about a year after I took the pipe up again.
Funny how nicotine is so demonized . . . but it's one of the few substances we can take which makes you *more* alert, instead of dulling your senses.

Cigars are bad too. Pipe smoking at least is close to reasonable. One tin of tobacco, 1.25 or 2 oz., is about $15-20 and can last for dozens of bowls. If you smoke one pipe a day, it'll take you a while to burn that $15.
Yeah, the pipes themselves -- new, $65 and up; estate, $35 and up -- are a cash outlay. But then you have them and they last decades. Several I bought in the '80s still look great and smoke the same way.

Unknown. Generic from the early 80s, sold on post in the AAAFES Px systrm. Very good shape. It lived (during use) in a padded leather tobacco pouch, and still resides there 40 years later.

Posted by: Aetius451AD work phone
My doctor is worse than me on skepticism meter- he joked with me he would get a script for both of us so we could be part of the class action.
Weight loss sucks. Keeping it off sucks. Being as weird as I am about food is obnoxious. I try to make great tasting, healthy meals, but to be honest there are plenty of times where it’s just about the nutrition and nothing else. Those meals are not sexy. Being as weird as I am about working out is also obnoxious. But I will never go back to the size I was. I understand why people would want an easier path, or give up. I certainly had a lot of trials before I realized my entire relationship with food had to change.

Weight loss sucks. Keeping it off sucks. Being as weird as I am about food is obnoxious. I try to make great tasting, healthy meals, but to be honest there are plenty of times where it’s just about the nutrition and nothing else. Those meals are not sexy. Being as weird as I am about working out is also obnoxious. But I will never go back to the size I was. I understand why people would want an easier path, or give up. I certainly had a lot of trials before I realized my entire relationship with food had to change.

Sugar is evil but carbs are the true enemy. Look at proteins with zero carbs. Do you like cheese and crackers? Break the crackers in half so you cut your carbs by half. Lots of low carb options for stuff now.
Also protein and exercise go together. More nuts, more dairy (heavy whipping cream in coffee) make you full.
And fasting. Pick a fast day (I choose Friday because I'm Catholic). Nothing crazy, have a light breakfast and then wait until dinner. Lowers BG and burn calories.

2) I'm pretty sure that it's not the Ozempic per se that helps apnea, but rather the weight loss, which can be done without Ozempic.
3) I think we pretty much know that Ozempic causes muscle wasting, which I suspect IS NOT GOOD FOR A PERSON'S HEART MUSCLE!

I mean, what do you want to know? Lots of Catholic apologetics out there. Look up Scott Hahn on youtube and you can see how he went from a rising star in the Reformed movement to staunch Catholic. Taylor Marshall was also a Protestant who converted. I keep seeing this Joshua Charles guy on X who is a bit younger and may relate better.
If things continue to calm down here, I'm planning on being and OCIA sponsor in the fall (that's how people come into the Catholic Church). I'm a convert, and was a sponsor in 2016. I really enjoyed it, but it took up a lot of time and my wife said I couldn't do it until 1) the kids grew up and 2) I was out of the Guard. So now I can!

Oh No: Chuck Norris Dead at 86
I saw commenters mentioning that Norris had been hospitalized. I did not bother to put it in the sidebar because I thought about all the Chuck Norris memes and decided, for real, that there was no way Norris wouldn't spin-kick this "medical emergency" in the face.
Chuck Norris is a medical emergency. But alas, Norris has died.Chuck Norris, the martial artist-turned-Hollywood icon whose name became synonymous with toughness both on and off the screen, has died at 86 after a sudden medical emergency, his family confirmed Friday. In a statement shared on social media, Norris' family said he passed away Thursday morning surrounded by loved ones. "While we would like to keep the circumstances private, please know that he was surrounded by his family and was at peace," the statement read. They described him not only as a global figure known for discipline and strength, but as "a devoted husband, a loving father and grandfather... and the heart of our family," emphasizing a life grounded in faith, purpose, and commitment to those closest to him. Best known to millions as the star of "Walker, Texas Ranger," Norris built a decades-long career that bridged martial arts mastery and mainstream entertainment. His work in films like "Delta Force" and his long-running television role turned him into a cultural fixture, while his real-life persona -- rooted in discipline, patriotism, and Christian faith -- resonated with fans well beyond Hollywood. Over time, that image took on a life of its own, fueling the internet-famous "Chuck Norris facts" that turned him into a larger-than-life symbol of American grit. The family noted that Norris had recently been hospitalized following a medical emergency while in Hawaii, a development that had drawn concern from supporters. Though early reports suggested he had stabilized and was in good spirits, his passing came just days later. ... Just days before his death, Norris marked his 86th birthday with a message that now reads as a fitting reflection of the life he led. Sharing a video of himself training outdoors, he wrote, "I don't age. I level up," adding that he was "grateful for another year, good health and the chance to keep doing what I love." He also thanked fans for their decades of support, telling them, "To him, you were not just fans, you were his friends," as his family echoed in their statement.Some true facts about Chuck Norris you might have forgotten:
"Chuck Norris was once bitten by a king cobra; after ten excruciating minutes, the cobra died."Apparently that fact was referenced in Expendables II, when Stallone says that about Chuck Norris' character.
I've only seen a handful of Chuck Norris movies, though I wanted to see more. The one I remember really liking is Silent Rage, where Chuck Norris has to take on a kind of superpowered reanimated corpse. So it's Chuck Norris v. Frankenstein. Or Chuck Norris vs. Michael Myers and all the other invincible 80s horror movie slashers. I remember that, despite how silly that premise sounds, it was pretty decent and plausible. (Well, in the moment, it's plausible.) I tried to find a trailer on YouTube but all I could find was this 100 minute video of the entire film. Any suggestions? I always wanted to see Good Guys Wear Black, just going off the title. I remember Firewalker being something unexpected for a Chuck Norris movie: kinda funny. I think there's a gag where Norris doesn't use guns and it turns out the reason he doesn't use guns is that he is absolutely incompetent with them.
"When Chuck Norris does push-ups, he doesn't push himself up, he pushes the Earth down." "When Chuck Norris goes swimming, he doesn't get wet -- the water gets Chuck Norris." "There was once a street named after Chuck Norris, but the name was changed as nobody crosses Chuck Norris and lives." "Beneath Chuck Norris's beard is another fist." "If you have $5 and Chuck Norris has $5, Chuck Norris has more money than you."

'I am blessed to have her as my daughter,' he said. 'Certainly, I know now that God does not condone premarital or extramarital sexual relationships. But I've also discovered that there is no such thing as an "illegitimate child."

I look forward to spending time with him in heaven and thanking him for his karate studio franchise. (As an 11 year old kid, I 'attained' yellow belt.) It was a great and deeply encouraging environment for insecure boys who didn't know how to handle bullies... until Chuck Norris showed them how!

Chuck Norris was born the day before the Nazis surrendered.
But then someone put a community note of Chuck's actual birth, 10 years earlier, with lines: "Chuck Norris was 10 years old when the Nazis surrendered, easily old enough to defeat the German army."

Relieved to see the blog back.
Chuck Norris was in one of the Expendable films which I liked quite a lot. It is really difficult to find entertainment these days.
Question: Has anyome watched Foundation on AppleTV? Based on the Asimov books. I read the books a long time ago. Watched a couple,of episodes and can't decide if it makes any sense. It seems pretty woke?

As someone whose family tree is well decorated with "illegitimate" and "remarkably rapid gestation period" children (e.g., my own father, and the current Mrs. Krebs), I can assure you that the shame -- if that even is warranted -- is the parents', not the child's. The bottom line is that such parents faced an ordeal without flinching and they passed.
Our own daughter gave birth to a child out of wedlock and placed him in an open adoption. He now is in college.

So speaking of crashes, my laptop crashed a couple weeks ago which is why I’m phoning in comments here. Going to Best Buy tomorrow to look at Chromebooks, since I only ever use the thing to get on the Webz.
Any recommendations? Cheap would be best.

I have a $100ish Chromebook as a backup, and it sucks harder than a Jenna Jameson gangbang scene.

Sorry about that everyone. There was a networking hiccup that made the server disappear off the internet. Everything was fine once you connected to the server... But you couldn't connect to the server.
For the technically minded, the server lost all it's secondary IP addresses, both public and private, and it kind of needs those.

I check two sources and they both insisted that there was no issue with connection, but might be a regional node. However, when I asked Grok to define the comments of some of the regulars, it stated that those individuals were unknown (which confirmed is wasn't a banning, and it was likely a server issue).
In that process I stumbled across some Breitbert idiot who claimed to have indentified who Ace is....and the summary provided was absolutely hilarious in its ineptitude and falseness. So, I enjoyed the hiatus.

Tonight, (or over the weekend) I will be watching 'Breaker Breaker' (RiffTrax version), where a truck-driving Chuck Norris karate kicks an entire town of thieving hillbillies.
And also reading some old Deadly Hands of Kung-Fu comics. In an ironic twist, the next issue to be read (I'm reading from an omnibus collection) has Chuck Norris on the cover. So I'm sure the comic/magazine will also include a few articles about Chuck's late-70s exploits.

Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana said it was under a shelter-in-place order March 9 after “a report of an unmanned aerial system operating over the installation.”
...
“Between March 9-15, 2026, BAFB Security Forces observed multiple waves of 12-15 drones operating over sensitive areas of the installation, including the flight line, with aircraft displaying non-commercial signal characteristics, long-range control links and resistance to jamming,” the document said.
“After reaching multiple points across the installation, the drones dispersed across sensitive locations on the base.”

For the technically minded, the server lost all it's secondary IP addresses, both public and private, and it kind of needs those. (Antibumped to not derail the Chuck Norris thread. RIP, Mr Norris.)Comments

THE MORNING RANT - Brand-Damaging Management Strategies: Chipotle, Reese’s, Red Robin
The revenue and product strategies employed by executives at companies in charge of Reese’s Peanut Butter products and Chipotle Mexican Grill have received unfavorable media coverage recently.
The grandson of the inventor of Reese’s Peanut Butter cups accused Hershey of substituting cheaper products in the Reese’s roster of candies. Specifically, Brad Reese alleged that “the company has replaced milk chocolate with compound coatings and peanut butter with peanut butter style crème across multiple Reese's products, a move he alleges has eroded the Reese's brand and jeopardized consumer trust.” Meanwhile, the CEO of Chipotle seemed to say that because its customer base is somewhat affluent, the burrito purveyor is in a position to aggressively increase prices without consumer resistance. “Chipotle CEO wants more customers who make over $100K — which means price hikes are coming” [NY Post – 02/09/2026]“We learned that 60% of our core users are over $100,000 a year in average household income,” he added. “That gives us confidence that we can lean into that group in a more meaningful way, whether it’s the solo occasion and/or group occasions to really drive meaningful transaction performance in the year.Corporate “Kamala-speak” makes my ears hurt. Will ”driving meaningful transaction performance” allow them to be unburdened by what has been. Where do they learn to talk this way? Anyhow, there was significant backlash to Chipotle’s CEO. First though, I want re-visit a subject to which I keep returning - the corporate management practice that is destroying brand equity and driving away customers from too many once-great brands. As I documented in a recent piece titled, “MGM Resorts & Panera Bread Learn that Slashing Headcount, Reducing Quality, and Gouging Customers Is Not a Viable Long-Term Strategy.” A corporation can target its loyal customers for revenue mining and temporarily increase its profits. It can also slash employee headcount and customer service, thereby reducing labor expense to produce a short-term increase in profits. It can even reduce its product size and cheapen the product’s quality to reduce cost of goods sold, also giving a short-term boost to gross profit. But in every case, these actions tell customers that rather than being valued, the corporation sees customers as marks to be exploited. A great many customers may get hoodwinked once, providing the short-term profit boost that was being sought, but then never come back, thus destroying the company’s long-term prospects. A downward spiral of alienated customers, declining revenue, deteriorating facilities, and degraded reputation ensues. Back to Chipotle, “Not the Bee” tweeted this analysis: “People can be mad about this all they want, but every restaurant chain follows the same arc…great quality/great price until they gain success, then slowly lower quality and raise prices until you reach a saturation point. It’s us consumers that have to start rejecting it.”

Red Robin is a case study in how to kill a restaurant chain from the inside out. In 2015, the stock hit $92.90 per share. Revenue peaked in 2017 at $1.4 billion across 573 locations. Families loved the place. Bottomless fries. Birthday parties. “Gourmet” burgers when that word still meant something in casual dining. The brand had real equity. Then management panicked about rising minimum wages and made the single worst decision in the company’s history: they fired all the bussers. January 2018. CEO Steve Carley cut bussers across every location, eliminated expeditors, and replaced kitchen managers with generic “back-of-house” roles. The logic was pure spreadsheet thinking. Labor costs were rising, so remove labor. The savings looked great in quarterly earnings. The second and third order effects were catastrophic. Tables stopped getting cleared. Wait times ballooned. Walkaways increased 85% year over year. 75% of the dine-in traffic loss came during peak hours, the exact window when the restaurant makes money. Ticket times out of the kitchen jumped a full minute on average. Customers who waited 20 minutes for a table and another 20 for a burger stopped coming back. Red Robin’s own CEO at the time, Denny Marie Post, admitted the damage was self-inflicted. And here’s the compounding problem. While Red Robin was gutting its own service model, it simultaneously launched a “Tavern Double” value menu at $6.99 to drive traffic. Orders of the cheap burgers jumped from 9% to 15% of all orders, which cratered the average check. So Red Robin was now serving worse food, slower, in a dirtier restaurant, at a lower price point. That combination is how you enter a death spiral. Meanwhile, 16% of locations were in malls. Mall traffic was already declining. Those locations saw 5.5% sales drops versus 3% at standalone stores, dragging the whole system down. Management acknowledged the problem quarter after quarter and did nothing about it for years. Five CEOs in 10 years. Think about that. The one leader who provided stability, Michael Snyder, was with the chain from 1979 to 2005. After that, it was a revolving door. Every new CEO launched a new turnaround plan. Every plan was abandoned by the next CEO. The North Star plan. The First Choice plan. New menu rollouts. Loyalty program reboots. None of it addressed the core issue: they’d trained an entire generation of customers to think of Red Robin as the place where the service is terrible. The contrast with Chili’s makes the failure even clearer. Kevin Hochman took over Chili’s in 2022 and did the opposite of what Red Robin did. He simplified the menu, invested in operations, launched a $10.99 “3 for Me” deal that went viral on TikTok, and let the food speak for itself. Chili’s just posted 31% same-store sales growth. Red Robin’s comparable revenue was down 1.2% for all of 2024. Both chains were in roughly the same position three years ago. One chain invested in the customer experience. The other spent a decade cutting it. Red Robin’s $65M market cap and Chili’s $3.3B market cap tell you which approach works. The stock went from $92 to $3.61. That’s what happens when you optimize for the quarterly earnings call instead of the customer walking through the door.[buck.throckmorton at protonmail dot com]

I know, back before I retired, I would often ask myself, "Where can I go and get a meal which will provide the highest margin for the restaurant. I really want to use the highest possible percentage of my stored life to buy cheap food expensively."

Did he mean a "higher" price point? IOW, did they make their food more expensive while reducing quality? And wth is the difference between a "price point" and a "price"? If you can't speak in plain English, you're in the wrong business. Try tollbooth attendant.

BTW... One thing I've noticed about Chipotle is that if you're a random customer they will "downsize" your portions (make a small burrito)... but because I'm a regular customer at my local store the staff there recognizes me and they actually make me a very big burrito stuffed to the gills with fillings... so it that sense it pays to be a regular

Take something with a reputation for high quality, lower its quality and its costs, and watch the profits flow in - for a while.

You can only really do higher price increases if you have a captive audience or if you are overcrowded(more customers than you can serve assuming things are run efficiently can indicate charging too low a price relative to quality).
Firing labor without consideration means they don't understand that throughput capacity and quality come from labor.

Did he mean a "higher" price point? IOW, did they make their food more expensive while reducing quality? And wth is the difference between a "price point" and a "price"? If you can't speak in plain English, you're in the wrong business. Try tollbooth attendant.

No, he meant lower. They were serving crappier food for less money. Which meant that not only were people leaving, the ones who DID go back were spending less.

At the end of the day, the goal of every CEO is to make money. Someone on the team needs to be bold enough to define risk / reward, and offer solutions that don’t degrade the customer experience They need to remember Chipotle is hospitality, it is not manufacturing. The value proposition is different.
USAA needs to heed this warning, and they need to get in front of their issues with growing their offshore footprint while shrinking in the US. They forgot who their customer base is, and they are allowing rumors to rapidly become truth. It’s a perfect storm for organizing on top of everything else.

We just circle around over the decades, especially in more urbanized areas.
Many cities built high-rise apartments for those of lower incomes many years ago near corner store conveniences. For the most part, they eventually became slums with many razed in the name of safety. "Townhouses" (my "row houses") rebuilt in their place at least once in 25 years, often more often in more years. They, too, became slums in many cities and towns.
Back to the rebuilding of multi-floor apartments & condos. Back to some 'corner stores' in the community (with lots of cellphone outlets, some chain restaurants, fewer occupant owned stores & businesses.).
--
Nothing is really new but for Door Dash and similar contracts used by the "middle." Convenient food delivery, other package deliveries, and so on.
Pricing is ever increasing for all forms of transportation, including gig workers, which are often "migrants" in those communities.
The current concept is leaning to Community Hubs. (See Baltimore and others.) Benevolent Control. The masters' ways of appearing benevolent while controlling the masses. You get the markets - food, housing, health - you deserve.

Not to be the "I won't watch football" guy, but I haven't been into a Chipotle since they got busted for making people sick with shit under the cook's fingernails. I'm not rich enough to afford that.
Also, people I knew couldn't learn to say it. Around here, they still call it "Chi-pultee's." We speak low-class Spanish.

Saw a new ad of theirs recently and liked it. About celebrating a grandpa's birthday by eating with all the family at Cracker Barrel. The ad makers understood the assignment.
The best ad I've seen lately is Burger King, of all franchises! Their CEO openly admitting on camera they screwed up. They heard you about the reduced quality and the creepy king mascot. They've fired the king and returned the crown to you, because at BK the customer rules. Really, really solid messaging!

When expressed in terms of quality or capacity manufacturing and hospitality are not that different at this decision-making level, but oftentimes it's unclear to the C-Suite how labor is impacting capacity(how many customers you can serve) or how it impacts quality.
A restaurant can serve X people when staffed appropriately isn't that different from an Oil Well producing X barrels, but turning the former into comprehensible data is harder.

Of course, I stopped eating that shit for many years, but just a couple ago, I was shocked to see Funny Bones in Wegmans, and I grew excited...so much so that customers reported my behavior to the manager (j/k)...
So Get them them, get home, open them up, take a bite... and what the fuck is this shit I just put in my mouth?
The chocolate coating went from a dark, thin, tasty, and soft dream to a shit-colored hard shell...The chocolate cake that used to be moist and delicious was now dry, crumbly, and tasteless. The thick peanut butter inside was replaced by some foamy stuff.
In retrospect, I'm not surprised. Isn't that the way these things always happen? A product or service starts off great, and then just slowly declines until it dies.

There is a delay but the delay isn't so long that a business can't pivot. Many of these large business deaths are decades-long, and many others initially make bad decisions before reverting.
These bad decisions start with people looking at top-line numbers without understanding what is driving them, and don't get fixed if they never give people in the C-suite who understand what's going on.
There's also the perverse incentive to make changes for the sake of change for career promotion at the middle levels, nobody ever gets credit for keeping a good system running smoothly.

We can make it all numbers to numbers, and a labor analysis is the same equation no matter your business (as is your breakeven). Where you have differences is the customer base and the risk tolerance. Is your customer buying oil going to care if you outsource travel admin functions? Nope. If you are USAA and you do that, will your customers care? USAA is learning this answer is yes.

Three ways to go with this:
1) "Our customers can afford lawyers, so we should probably avoid causing E. Coli outbreaks from here on out."
2) "We can afford to use slightly higher quality ingredients because our customers can afford it."
3) Misreading the numbers because their only remaining customers live in places where $100,000 salary is considered low income.

Take a look at the nutrition files they have online for their menu. It's actually a really nice feature to let you decide what to order if you have food allergies or are restricting things like sodium.
The sodium levels in almost their entire menu are outlandish. We actually used this for a nutrition seminar I participated in. Our instructor was bug eyed at the sodium levels.
I have to watch sodium due to high blood pressure. The only thing I can eat there is the oatmeal or one egg. The rest of it is typically twice to three times what I can eat in one meal.

That's part of what makes translating to numbers difficult. There's important quality attached to some labor that isn't necessarily obvious to the people running things at the top level. Usually helps to have people who have worked their way up from a much lower position otherwise the executives will do this kind of thing without realizing it.

That said, I eat Chipotle the most b/c of value and always having the ability to adapt to my allergies. Red Robin had always done that, but one day, I went in and the "allergy fryer was broken"...the only side I could get with my burger was a salad that was effectively the veg on my burger. Took a while before I went back...and it took a deal to lure me back.
Reese's came out with a plant-based cup...that was really good and pricey. No idea why they'd change the regular cup, b/c they already had a distinguishing pricey cup vs their norm brand for anyone who wanted it.
Chipotle tip - always get a bowl. Skip the 350 calorie tortilla, and load up on what's protein or veg (they always double my veg and beans for me since I do no dairy)...you'll get more that way...

If you're thinking how to price a product, sometimes you think about "price points"
14.99 17.99 19.99 21.99
vs. a price of 20.07 or 20.84.
or maybe for food its under $10 or under $15
So its very close to PRICE but not quite a price. Its a target area.
This can be important if you are planning a product, like food, where you can start with a $12.99 target and maybe get really close and decide to say, lower the fries size in the combo to small to hit the target.

So many service and food industries are suffering from just too few people. McDonalds is mostly self-service now, and those who are working there are doing two or three jobs each. I remember when I would go into a clothing store and two people would jump me asking if I needed help. Now I go into someplace like Macy's or Home Depot and you can't see an employee visible anywhere.

Reuters reported that a total of 16 US aircraft have been downed since the start of the bombing.
10 are drones, designed to go into dangerous situations and were lost in the opening days. 2 were F-15s that were shot down by friendly fire by Kuwait. The rest are accidents of support craft.
No F-35 has been downed.

Jean-François Raffaëlli
Raffaelli painted another very similar painting to this one, Promeneur et son chien (Walker and His Dog). Both can be seen, side-by-side, on Gallery 19 C dot com.
In part, “When one paints the people,” declared Raffäelli, “one must never have pity on their state,...nor should one flatter them or paint them as sublime, as have done certain unphilosophic painters. One should paint them in their place, with kindness and sympathy, while keeping one’s distance,... It is the best way of showing them,..."
Catalogue note
In studying [Raffäelli’s] work astonishment is felt at his variety, his dramatic instinct, his power to catch not only the character of the people in the streets but their movement. He seizes the transient with the accuracy of the camera, but at the same time he gives what no camera ever detects, for he looks into the souls of the people passing and records the struggle, the hope, the despair, the loneliness of their lives (“Jean François Raffäelli,” The Art Interchange, vol. 34, no. 4, April 1, 1895, p. 111).
There's much more on the ^ website.
Like today's painting & would gladly hang it.
Thanks.

Funnily enough, the Love’s in Tulia, TX is known for, as is the gas station across from it, for having higher than usual gas prices as they are the only gas stations on a 60 odd mile stretch of I-27. But recently, the script has flipped and they are amongst the cheapest in the area, holding at $2.99 a gallon regular unleaded.

Drivers buy gas at one or maybe a couple of gas stations. Even if we could save a penny or two per gallon by buying at another station, we know that some of those savings will be eaten up by driving to the less convenient station. There’s also the matter of the value of our time to find the lowest gas price.
But, when gas prices rise, more drivers shop for the lowest gas price in their area. With gas costs taking a bigger chunk of their income, drivers are motivated to seek any savings they can. The use of gas price apps increases and local news programs regularly report on the locations of the lowest gas prices.
The opposite behavior occurs when gas prices drop. Fewer drivers shop for the lowest price. One reason is they are just happy to see prices fall.
Sellers of gasoline know these behaviors. When oil prices drop, station owners will cut their gas price, but more slowly. Why? Because they know fewer drivers will shop for the lowest price. Instead, drivers will be relieved

I agree. I also think part of that is a lack of domestic manufacturing and an over reliance on imports, especially for critical goods. We allowed our manufacturing base to be destroyed for years in search of better margins mostly through cheap labor. COVID showed what a substantial mistake and liability to our national survival that was.

If memory serves, JIT was developed in Japan where in places where the entire supply chain was closely situated. Worked really well. So the money guys decided to make it global and never considered that the greater the distance, the more countries involved, the more things that can go wrong.

The Morning Report — 3/20/26
To underscore this, I give you this completely unsurprising report . . .
Nearly half of households headed by immigrants, those legally and illegally living in the United States, are on one or more forms of welfare, a Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) analysis of Census Bureau data reveals. . . Meanwhile, just 28 percent of households headed by native-born Americans are on welfare, and just 31 percent are on welfare that includes both tax credits.Interesting that Somalia isn't on that list, but then again, that's not even welfare as such, as opposed to outright naked, dictionary definition criminal fraud on the most massive scale ever seen. Of course the nature of government handouts themselves, regardless of who the recipient is is another story entirely and the nature of charity and who foots the bill. There was a time when being indigent absolutely disqualified you from being granted citizenship. Of course there are several things going on here that collectively have one goal in mind and that is the collapse of American society and its transmogrification into a socialist state based on the inversion/perversion of history and annihilation of our American heritage and indeed Judeo-Christian Western civilization going back millennia. I give you the Cloward-Piven strategy. . .
Countries with the highest welfare-users in the U.S. include Afghanistan, 87 percent, the Dominican Republic, 78 percent, Guatemala, 77 percent, Honduras, 75 percent, and Mexico, 67 percent.
. . . an example of what are commonly called Trojan Horse initiatives — mass movements whose outward purpose seems to be providing material help to the downtrodden, but whose real objective is to draft poor people into service as revolutionary foot soldiers; to mobilize poor people en masse in an effort to overwhelm government agencies with a flood of demands beyond the capacity of those agencies to meet. Cloward and Piven calculated that the flood of demands which they were recommending would break the budget, jam the bureaucratic gears into gridlock, and bring the system crashing down. Fear, turmoil, violence and economic collapse would accompany such a breakdown — providing perfect conditions for fostering radical change. That was the theory.Now you know, as if it was any great mystery, why the Democrats and corporatist RINOs oppose the SAVE Act or any election integrity measures for that matter, as we discussed on the latest episode of the podcast, linked here and in the sidebar as well as on the popular outlets listed at the bottom of the post.
Given all of the above, one of the Left's big heroes from the glory days of the swinging 60's has been exposed as a child rapist.
Cesar Chavez’s birthday is a holiday in six states, there are over a dozen streets that carry his name in California alone, and far more schools across the country are named after a child rapist. And now some of those streets may be renamed and Chavez statues may be coming down.Well, considering Chavez was vocally and virulently anti-illegal immigration, himself often referring to them as "Wetbacks," I'm surprised that the left has yet to airbrush him out of history as a white hispanic a la George Zimmerman. Then again Martin Luther King Jr., who believed in content of character above color of skin has yet to have his statues demolished and MLK Blvds. re-renamed. On that sour note, we have this tragic milestone marking how low we have sank:
. . . a white American 6-year-old was punished for blasphemy against Black Lives Matter (by saying “any life” matters). A six-year-old white girl was punished because she wrote “Black lives mater/any life [sic]” after a lesson about Martin Luther King in March, 2021—because blacks are treated as sacred by American culture, especially in public schools.Here's hoping for saner years to come. Have a great Weekend! And lastly, a quick shout-out and a huge thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

But if a clerk is wearing one as I'm checking out, and I can't understand what she's saying, I say so, and add, ". . . with that thing on your face" or ". . . you've got something on your face." Makes me unpopular -- but I don't care.

Of all the covid lunacy, the mask mandates bothered me the most. I absolutely hate masks... they dehumanize everyone. It's a visible marker that rather than a fellow human you're just looking at a germ vector. I despise masks and all the Karen harpies who delighted in enforcing their mandate...

Or, try to remember that some folks are severely immuno-compromised, but still need to eat, so just give them space and feel bad for them...or that some folks are sick, but can't take the day off, so they are trying to keep their snot and saliva to themselves vs surfaces.

In Denver, i used to work at a shop across the alley from some Latino "cultural center" type place where they had one of those hideous murals of him filling an entire wall of it.
Denver is the ancestral home of militant Hispanic fascism, and remains a hotbed for it. They removed that mural under pressure from the MEChA goons, because Chavez hated "the wetbacks" they represent.
This would have been maybe '14-'15. The City also started naming libraries and stuff after Mexican terror bomber Corky Gonzales, who is worshipped by MEChA, and which his Crusade For Justice (and Bombings) helped found.
I'm sure the City has been itching to erase Chavez from public landmarks since at least that time. I bet they're already already pulling down his statues and tearing off the signage at Chavez Park.
The Parks and other services budgets were gutted by the current mayor explicitly to pay for services for the illegals and vagrants (BIRM), but I'm sure they find some change in the cushions to get that done, lol.

I've come to the conclusion that normalizing mask-wearing was a key driver of the operation.

The scientists who tout billions of years and those who push that life, even "simple" single cell life, could happen just from some chemicals coming together largely have one of two things in common.
They will only accept a naturalistic explanation for the existence of the universe and life on this planet, or...
They, for whatever reason, want to say God did it but not the way He told us he did it in His Word through the prophet Moses.
On the latter, if you can make the creation account say whatever you want it to say, you can do whatever you want to the rest of His Word also.

They literally can't do it.
Their donors and their voters won't let them.
So, they have to go increasingly radical because the only people who vote for them or donate to them are those who demand radicalism.

Elections are largely run at the local level under state election laws. For more than 20 years, election officials have increasingly relied on mailing ballots to eligible voters. This requires a partnership with the Postal Service to get ballots to voters and back to local election offices in a timely manner.
Question:
If you drop off your ballot on Saturday and central mail is collected on Monday and then it is trucked to the Central office what will be the PostMark date.

The market price of oil and the huge increase in insurance for tanker hulls is partly due to yet another just-in-time delivery supply chain strategy, by not only oil companies but governments. That strategy means there few excess tankers world-wide to move oil and distillates to users and refineries. Every tanker stalled inside the Strait of Hormuz has a consequential supply chain impact.
For example, Australia may be out of diesel in a couple weeks. The nation has very little in-country diesel refining capability. If SE Asia refiners run short on heavy crude from the Gulf States, after supplying their own in-country needs there may be little diesel Australia can buy even if the tankers are available.
As with most nations nowadays, Australia needs diesel to function. For trains, transport and local delivery trucks, farm and ranch equipment, mining activity, an so on. Pressure on Trump to get safely get full and empty tankers past the Strait of Hormuz will only increase.
Regardless, I fully support Trump's effort to get rid of the Islamic Republic of Iran problem, once and for all.

Cute - but having watched it for decades now, I believe it’s because the left lives inside completely sealed ideological bubbles, but they’re used to having handlers and managers in the media who work constantly to hide what they all say and take for granted.
Amongst themselves, they all think it’s “bold and daring” to say that abortion is a sacrament, and that bbq is the province of knuckle dragging barbarians; and they all love anyone who whispers that to them privately. But it’s a rare talent to be able to constantly lie in public about what they actually believe, and luckily Texas hasn’t seen an Obama or a Spanberger make it to the top of the Dem party yet.

That message was from like 4 years ago. His dreams of running for senate weren't even a gleam in his eye yet.
And his campaign put out a picture of him eating a steak or something, because now that the primary is over, he has to appeal to actual Texans, not AWFLs in Austin.
Why didn't Crockett use any of this material against him?
Because it would have just worked to help him in the primary.
The Democrat primary voter is dedicated to social engineering towards vegan secular open borders multiculturalism no matter the cost. And Democrats have to appeal to that to win the primary.

No Roses for Taylor: Bachelorette Season Starring Mormon Wives Star Taylor Frankie Paul Abruptly Canceled
Today, it was announced the season was called off because a video was released of Taylor abusing Dakota and throwing chairs at him. One of those chairs apparently hits her small child. That is HER child, not Dakota's child. This incident happened before Dakota and Taylor's kid was born.

The Italian Democrat Party was even with the right-leaning party in country in the 2000s.
They are now effectively a non-factor in the Italian Parliament. They are the second largest party, but the first and third and right-leaning and coalition together at such a level that the Democrat Party gets ignored.
The Italian Democrat Party still won't moderate on immigration. They're still open borders.
There's something about open borders that rots the brains of politicians.

If there were alien visitors, there would be traces of that in the DNA coding. Supposedly. This is negative information, but more advanced aliens can change a world.
Perhaps the change from a reducing atmosphere to an oxygen one was the result of aliens and infection. Niven wrote a SF short story about that in his Draco Tavern tales.

That's a short term problem, to be honest.
Companies want their tankers out of the gulf. Some are definitely getting through. Other tankers can be redirected after completed business to pick up oil that's bypassing the strait. The tankers that get out probably won't go back into the strait once they unload in India or China or Australia. They'll go somewhere less fraught.
All while American WTI increases productions at profitable levels and acts as a hedge against global rises in prices.

The first major wave of Afghans - many of which were professionals - admitted to the US as lawful permanent residents or granted asylum began after the 1979 Soviet invasion. Family reunification programs then aided many more in their efforts to migrant to the US.
Then following the 2001 U.S.-led invasion, more Afghans came to the U.S., particularly those working as interpreters or professionals with the U.S. military, and that pattern allegedly continued through the Biden administration when Afghan Humanitarian Parole was introduced allowing Afghan nationals outside the U.S. to seek "temporary entry" due to urgent humanitarian reasons.

The Dominican Republic was never in the US TPS program. Dominicans are the 2nd largest Latino group in Philadelphia (thanks, International Airport), with a rapidly growing population that makes them on track to become the city’s largest immigrant group. Many arrive through "chain migration," moving from New York City or directly from the DR to North Philadelphia for affordable housing and business opportunities.

Neither Mexico nor Guatemala has ever been granted Temporary Protected Status (TPS) in the US. However, under the Bracero Program (1942–1964), more than 4.5 million contracts were awarded to Mexican men for agricultural labor, particularly during wartime labor shortages.
Further, Mexican farmworkers continue to make up a major portion of the agricultural workforce, including as H-2A guest workers and in "other capacities."
Guatemalans involved in poultry processing, forestry, and crop harvesting MAY have entered the US via H-2A and H-2B visas. Guatemala is quite reliant on remittances, with nearly 20 percent of its gross domestic product (GDP) as of 2023, sent from "migrants" & others in the US.
In PA, Guatemalan immigrants have formed fast growing communities, with a notable presence in the Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington area & Pittsburgh, and with some getting employed in construction and food service.

Obama signed a presidential proclamation declaring March 31 as Cesar Chavez Day & asked Americans to observe the day with service. The Obama White House also established, 'Champions of Change: Cesar Chavez Legacy' which honored local leaders - the majority of which were women - who exemplify Cesar Chavez’s core values.
And, of course, Cesar Chavez (1927 — 1993) is an inductee into the US Department of Labor, D.C. Hall of Honor. (There's a few dillies in there.)

Yeah, okay.
AI Overview: In January 2025, President Biden signed an executive order to open up federal lands for the construction of gigawatt-scale AI data centers. This initiative directed the Department of Energy (DOE) and Department of Defense (DoD) to identify at least three sites each—totaling at least six facilities—to lease to private companies.
The order aimed to accelerate AI infrastructure development, with companies responsible for construction, operation, and supplying clean energy, while also using U.S.-made semiconductors. (Industrial info. Resources and ENR dot com.)
Data Center Frontier, 'President Biden's Executive Order on AI Data Center Construction: Summary and Commentary'
The new Executive Order apparently isn’t just a directive, but is clearly meant as a roadmap for the U.S. data center industry to lead not just technologically, but also ethically and sustainably, in the AI age. The challenge will be in the plan’s execution across all public and private stakeholders.

Top Story
- Bluesky, one-time social network and latterly psych ward for those who can't cope with the harsh truths dished out daily by CNN and whatever MSNBC is called today has raised $100 million in a new funding round. (Tech Crunch)
That's million with an M. Almost enough to buy -
- Your new car might need 300GB of RAM. (The Register)
Said US memory maker Micron, whose most recent quarterly results showed three times the revenue and nine times the profit of the same period the previous year.
Tech News
- Walmart is flooded with previous generation Nvidia RTX 4000 series graphics cards. (Tom's Hardware)
At reasonable prices, so as you might expect the flood has been mopped up pretty damn quickly.
If you're in Australia and don't have easy access to Walmart, look around for Radeon 9070 XT cards which for some reason are steeply discounted right now, sometimes selling for less than the slower Radeon 9070.
I expected shortages and price increases, and some Nvidia 5000 series cards have all but disappeared from US store shelves, but overall... Not so much.
- A rogue AI caused a security incident at Meta. (The Verge)

- UK censorship agency Ofcom tried to levy fines against 4Chan again. (BBC)

- Kitten TTS is a text-to-speech model. (GitHub)
That's not remarkable, at least not in the 22nd century where we find ourselves when we're not being stupid which is rarely.
Where was I?
Oh, right. What's remarkable is the whole thing fits in 25MB. Megabytes with an M.
- Half the size of the front page of the New York Times website. (Daring Fireball)
That page on Daring Fireball uses 0.1% that much bandwidth.
- The Verge is having another normal day. (The Verge)
By which I mean they are barking at the moon.
- Can I run Crimson Desert? (Notebook Check)
Well, probably. It runs at more than 60 fps at 1080p native using high settings on five year old midrange cards like the 3060 Ti or 6750 XT.

Michael Malice's podcast is titled "Your Welcome".
Every now and then a grammar pedant wanders into the comments and is compelled to correct the title to "You're Welcome" (and aren't I so smart!).
This is all by way of demonstrating that they haven't listened closely to the show. Michael greats the listeners and ends his greeting with "... let that be your welcome." Then, at the close of the show, after his guest answers Michael's question, "What was tour favorite part of today's show?", he responds, "You are welcome!"

This makes a nice soundbite, but is a bit misleading. The computing power was on the ground[.i]. They had two completely identical computer rooms at the mission control building in Houston on two floors (to support simultaneous missions, as well as backup).
As far as onboard computing power, keep in mind they only had one computer. This was one of the first fly-by-wire systems. Modern fly by wire aircraft for example usually have three. So it had to be reliable.

For a while they envisioned the astronauts having to make repairs in flight, the idea was they would carry duplicate spares of all the modules, tools, etc. This didn’t last too long, and they had also decided everything needed to be sealed against moisture, so no repairs possible.
They did some interesting things, they were concerned that (there was only one company making the IC they wanted to use, Fairchild) What if they go out of business halfway through the program? They would buy huge runs of a single IC and used the same component for ground support equipment as well.

The “ground” computers did not communicate with the on-board computers and were used to calculate trajectories and orbit data for the ground crews.
There were actually 3 on-board computers.
The Launch Vehicle Digital Computer (LVDC) controlled the Saturn V rocket during launch and for the trans-lunar injection.
There was an Apollo Guidance Computer (AGC) in the Command Module (CM) and another in the Lunar Module (LM).

Yes, that’s my point. They crunched the numbers on the ground, and read the data & updates to the crews over the radio. They actually had a fair bit of computing power and speed available (for the time) they could bring to bear.
When the Apollo 13 disaster struck, the government basically commandeered much of the nation’s civilian computing power time at myriad colleges and universities.

I'd think it's obvious.
While some dedicated apps are very useful, the restaurant apps so you can order your food for example, the dedicated news & social media apps are created for one thing; to mine your information continuously, and generally without an ability for the user to block ads or tracking other than changing your settings on the phone manually (which most people don't do).
They make more money through dedicated apps than they do on their websites.

One of the tech guys suggested stopping visiting porn sites on it. Replied to him, 'You do know that you said that with reply-all, right?' He was very apologetic. Turned out the laptop was old enough to be due for mandatory replacement.

"This insane. These people have rendered the term “feeling safe” to be meaningless. Apparently feeling safe means you must be surrounded at all time only with people who think juyst like you have all the same pet opinions as you. When a terrorist plows a car into a Jewish precshool we need moe context because he was grieving you see and Jews make him feel “unsafe”. So his violence needs context. Last I checked Sanders has never been violent to anyone. Actual violence is a safety risk not being around people you disagree with politically (who are paying customers at that)! The prejudice and intolerance of this type of treatment where it is dressed up as being bravely virtuous is disgusting. There is nothing virtuous about mistreating customers plain and simple.

From Earth Pictures
AI is asshoe Not long ago, we joked about "if it's on the internet, it's gotta be true". Well, how about, "if it's on the internet, it's probably AI"? Meet Jessica Foster, the Wholesome US Soldier and Donald Trump Fan Who Doesn’t Exist
Jessica Foster joined Instagram in late December of last year, but during that short period of time, she managed to grow her following on the Meta-owned social network to over 1 million. And it’s not hard to see why; she is very beautiful (some might say suspiciously so), she serves in the US Army, and is an avid Donald Trump fan, constantly posting photos alongside the American president. But there is something off about Jessica. Even ignoring her seemingly perfect looks, you can’t help but raise an eyebrow when you see that online searches yield no results about her. Apart from the carefully crafted Instagram account, Jessica Foster doesn’t exist. And that’s because she’s not a real person, but an AI-made avatar designed for a very specific demographic. *** Whoever created Jessica Foster appears to have done so to funnel her gullible followers to OF, where they pay for more raunchy content, messages from her, and tips. Apparently, the account violates the platform’s terms of service, which state that every account must be linked to a verified human being, and all AI-generated content must resemble that specific real person and be tagged with a #AI label.I'm starting to go with the default opinion that every photo or video I see online is AI unless proven otherwise. ----- News for you Deadheads out there Jerry Garcia’s Famed ‘Tiger’ Guitar Bought By Chicago Collector For $11.56 Million

One of Grateful Dead legend Jerry Garcia’s favorite instruments was his trusty, custom-built, wood-grained guitar nicknamed “Tiger.” Now “Tiger” could be coming back to Chicago after local guitar collector Bobby Tseitlin bought it at auction for $11.56 million, which was briefly a record for a guitar sale. (A black Fender Stratocaster used by Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour sold at the same Christie’s auction last week for $14.5 million.) Tseitlin, 44, is co-founder of Family Guitars, a Chicago company that collects historic instruments and is “home to some of the most legendary instruments ever played,” per its website. For the past 20 years, Tseitlin’s passion project has been collecting guitars, he told Rolling Stone. Tseitlin isn’t about to store his famous guitars where no one can see them, though. He lends them out to musicians to play and keep them alive. True to form, Derek Trucks of Tedeschi Trucks Band was on stage at the Beacon Theatre in New York the night after the auction, playing a Garcia tune on Garcia’s beloved guitar. Trucks attended the auction with Tseitlin, launching online hope he would be playing it soon. Fans got their wish.

*** Last week, Tseitlin purchased it at Christie’s in New York City during a multi-day auction featuring prized possessions of the late Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay.
Some trips are long, some are strange, and some are so good, you can’t help but keep 'em going! After reuniting with the Grateful Dead last year to release Grateful Dead Juicy Pale Ale, we couldn’t resist keeping the journey rolling. This year, we’re beyond excited to collaborate once again on our fifth Dogfish Head x Grateful Dead beer. *** Our collaboration with Grateful Dead stretches back more than a decade, beginning in 2013 with the release of American Beauty and continuing through multiple re‑releases, evolutions and creative experiments over the years. Each chapter has built on the last, fueled by mutual respect, shared values and a belief that art, whether brewed, played or painted, should invite people in. Grateful Dead Citrus Daydream Lager is the latest stop on that journey. This goodness is swimming to shelves nationwide in 6‑pack / 12‑oz cans as we speak ... er, type!, and will be available coast-to-coast beginning Mar. 2026. You can grab both of our Grateful Dead collaborative brews, Juicy Pale Ale and Citrus Daydream Lager, at your favorite local retailer or use our Fish Finder to track them down near you.----- Kewl Photograhy 40 Of The Funniest Wildlife Photos Ever Captured At Exactly The Right Moment

Jesus H. Christ on a pogo stick, now we’ve got AI slop flooding the comments too?
Used to be you could count on at least 40% of the thread being recognizably human—drunk, angry, spelling like a dyslexic raccoon, sure, but HUMAN. Now half the below-the-fold is just ChatGPT with a thesaurus and a bad attitude, regurgitating the same three talking points in slightly different word salads. “The left is destroying civilization” × 47 with random synonyms swapped in like it’s Mad Libs for midwit bots.
I’m not even mad at the AI, I’m mad at whatever sad little neckbeard is copy-pasting the output and hitting “post” like he just contributed something. Bro, you didn’t. You just gave a silicon-based cargo cult a participation trophy.
Bring back the 2012-era 800-word rants about how Obama is secretly a Marxist Kenyan who golfs too much.

There were still plenty of male teachers when I was a student, but I don't personally know a single one today below the college level. I still see male coaches for male sports, so I assume they still exist, but they're rare.
I are an enjuneer, and I bet male schoolteachers are rarer than female engineers.

We do have a MLK boulevard. But it's only a section of 45th Street that goes through a certain part of town.

Kind of sort of...
Sure, "road", "lane", "avenue", etc. have meanings, but when a road can be called a "Fisk Boulevard" even though it is a dead end with two lots on it, it kind of dilutes those old meanings.
Maybe I'll see some bold developer name all the roads in their happy little subdivision after roads that still have a specific meaning -
US Highway 1
Interstate 95
US Route 66

Jerry and Doug Irwin, the builder of Jerry's most famous guitars, had a long history. The Wolf was the second Irwin Jerry bought but I believe it was the first custom guitar Irwin built for him from the scratch. It's what really defined Jerry's sound and the Tiger just took it to another level.
He got it in '73. An example from that year in honor of the top pic.

Developers have a plethora of names for dead-end streets: mews, close, circle, place, court, and I am sure there are more. Mesa, uses "place" for through streets located between sequentially-numbered streets. 82nd place lies between 82nd street, and 83rd street.
That's why the dude in the video gets it all wrong. There are no rules; leastwise no consistent rules.

It is one of the best mini-series I've scene and I do recommend it to others.
I will say the third season felt a bit rushed to get to the end and amusingly I suspect its because the number 3 is important in the show and therefore they didn't want a 4th season even though they could have used it.

I always liked interdepartmental mail, it was a nice change from the USPS mail tote. There was both the adventure of seeing where the envelope had been in the past, and if it came from outside the department or even another agency, and of course the chance of some surprise of the contents, including the dreaded "confidential" envelope inside.

Dear wife's B day is coming up and today she received a text from a former student wishing her well. He was one of her Special Ed kids that had suffered a horrible head injury as a very young boy. Made a fantastic recovery and is now an accomplished architect working for a very good firm. He sends her a text or card every year. She is just thrilled.

And my desktop computers have no mics, no cameras. I have ones I can plug in if I need them, but hardly ever do so.

Otter: What's the difference? Ladies and gentlemen, I'll be brief. The issue here is not whether we broke a few rules, or took a few liberties with our female party guests—we did. [winks at Dean Wormer] But you can't hold a whole fraternity responsible for the behavior of a few, sick perverted individuals. For if you do, then shouldn't we blame the whole fraternity system? And if the whole fraternity system is guilty, then isn't this an indictment of our educational institutions in general? I put it to you, Greg: isn't this an indictment of our entire American society?

I had the same 3rd grade teacher as my dad. She was older than dirt by the time I was in her class and she was awesome.
She carried a yardstick and roamed the room slapping it in her palm while delivering a lesson. And if you got out of line she would give you a gentle tap with it but her look said "Don't test me". If you had a loose tooth she would pull it for you which was just magic.
And she loved baseball. Great lady.

I had one male teacher in elementary school. Sixth grade. Bomber pilot in the 8th Air Force in WWII. Shot down over Germany and spent the last 18 months of the war in a POW camp.
To say that he was unique was to do him a great disservice. To say that he was transformational is to fail to give him sufficient credit.

My 6th grade teacher didn't care. He was an angry old man in a wheelchair that I think didn't really enjoy teaching.
Mr. Grant, my 7th grade teacher cared. He took extra time during class to help me. He and his wife would also help me during basketball games while I attended as part of the pep club. It's because of him and my parents that I finally got the hang of multiplication and division and found I loved wrking out equations.

There was a marketing VP who pissed off someone at headquarters and was exiled to a cubical at our location. He had nothing to do with what we did, he was just sent to our office as punishment. He was a couple of decades older than the rest of the crew in our office, and didn't really fit in. Plus he was a real asshole.
Eventually, after a couple of months, he was pardoned and went back to the main office. Shortly after he left, one of the guys I worked with got a hold of a really nasty gay porno mag, "Leather Lads", or something. I don't want to know where he got it. Anyway, he printed out a mailing label with the asshole VP's headquarters office address, stuck the label on the mag and put it in the outgoing interoffice bin. Apparently it went through the corporate mail-room and got delivered to the guy's office and created quite a stir.

He was also the only one who helped me when I broke my foot during PE. The gym teacher left me to crawl up the bleachers by myself at the end of class. I then crawled into the hallway outside the classrooms. No one was going to help me off the floor and get to the school office. Someone informed Mr. Grant what was going on and he grabbed his desk chair on wheels, picked me up off the floor and got me down to the school office to call my parents.

I played a few well known guitars in my time. The one I always chuckle at is "greenie", a 1959 les paul which was Gary Moore's guitar that came from peter green and kirk hammet owns now. I knew the dude who got it from gary moore, so he let me play it. It was interesting, a little hammered, but very cool. Another friend who is friends with Bad Company guitarist Mick Ralphs, had acquired his 1960 les paul. I played that through the right amp and played the song bad company and damn near shit my pants. It was the sound, the fucking sound. I played other famous guitars but that one stuck with me the most. I own one guitar that Jake E Lee owned for a little bit, fitting seeing is a metal dude and my favorite replacement for Rhoads after he died. But that Bad Company guitar, damn...

Important step, all right.
Another critical thing about writing software is usability and workflow analysis. Since automating a task with software re-arranges how someone does their work, it matters a lot to learn what the user is trying to do and how best to present information etc. Lower-level parts of software (closer to the machine) are probably good uses of AI, but closer to humans, there is still a lot of important work for a software developer.

The government’s response to the AAP lawsuit and judge Murphey’s injunction is to disband and then recreate a new ACIP committee, as this will take less time than would be required to file and prosecute an appeal.

I am apparently just as bad. You know those guitar stools they sell all over the place. The ones at GC come with rounded little plastic feet. Leaned over to get a pick and that stool squirted out from under me and I body-slammed a perfectly good Takamine Santa Fe on the pergo floor. Now when I buy a new stool, I buy four crutch tips to go with it.

Agree with that sentiment. It's just that the Liberator pistol program never really accomplished all that much, considering all the money that was spent on it.
I'd recommend getting High Point or Kel-Tec to design and build a cheap double action only revolver chambered for 9 mm. No safety to mess with, just point, pull trigger HARD and shoot.

The problem with 9mm revolvers is extracting the fired cases, since the 9mm doesn't have a rim for a conventional extractor to engage. There are some revolver designs that use fancy mechanisms to extend a finger to catch the case groove during extraction, Charter Arms currently makes one, but they have never caught on.
Federal Ammunition briefly made a 9mm Rimmed cartridge, until people discovered it would fit into weak, antique top-break revolvers, with possibly catastrophic results.

Well, the manual of arms for a DAO revolver is pretty damned simple; if you can load it, you can shoot it. I suggested 9 mm, because I assume the Basij are armed with 9 mm weapons. If some other cartridge is more prevalent in iran, design your "Iran Liberator" for that.
The usage scenario is the same as for the Liberator. Use the cheap gun to ambush some baddies, and take their weapons. If you use a cartridge that is already prevalent in Iran, it raises the possibility of infighting amongst the bad guys. If you use 45 ACP, it's obviously partisans, and reprisals would occur.

No need for anything new.
Primarily civilian 9mm.
A couple of guys at State or DoD could have hoovered up all the 9mms at Bass pro and Academy and bought a couple hundred thousand guns off our civilian market. All via internet.
Or intercepted wholesale shipments.
Arming the locals is easy peasy.

If BIL can keep his shit together & wait for an apartment, I can help him furnish it-- because I need to empty out my (deceased) Dad's place-- the stuff would go to landfill or for donation *anyway*!

You know... I thought about that! LOL. Nah, he'd probably fall down the stairs & break his neck. Don't need THAT hassle, heh.
Besides, I could use the pay-back from MY share of the house sale!

That SOB is going out of his way to create a busted instrument. He KNOWS they're guitars and he's trying to make sure each one gets a bashing without actually taking the guitar out and stepping on the neck.
He either knows the band travelling on the plane and is on a personal vendetta against it, is a failed musician and is taking it out on others because psychological damage, or is simply a rat bastard.

Exactly. Thats why he needs to be thrown into a jet engine intake. You always need to loosen the strings on a guitar when you fly, because there is a shit ton of tension on the headstock with the guitar strings at full tension. Something like 180 pounds. All you need is one good shot and the neck is going to break. You also need a flight case, not the bullshit case the guitar comes in if your shit is going to be handled by a scumbag like that dude. Also a TSA lock, or else those jerkoffs will just break the case open or cut the lock off if its not TSA.

Dog thief returns stolen property. Dogs are confronted with their crimes. Dog tried to steal a stuffed unicorn five times until the store decided it was cheaper to just give him the toy. Dog figures out he's being bamboozled. These Belgian Malinoises are little gang-stars. Especially the ones snapping their teeth like lunatics. Dogs reuniting with service members. These dogs are only guilty of stealing my heart. Dog tries to frame his owner for... murder.

The only good part of the Pearl Harbor movie was the actual bombing. Brought that horrific moment to life in a very intense way. The rest of the movie with the torpid love story was ridiculous.
Would be good to finally do a new Pearl Harbor movie, if anyone has the guts to do one nowadays, to let the current youngins understand the importance of that day.

Others have alluded to it, but "Tora, Tora, Tora" is really good, a joint American-Japanese look at the attack. It was a box office disaster (who wants to watch a movie about Pearl Harbor during Vietnam), but it is a superb film.

I believe that one was from Japanese archives after the war, taken from the wing camera of one of the planes observing the attack. There are some pictures from the US from the ground, but are more accidental, including the home movie of the Arizona being hit and blowing up.

It happened for real. They decided the message was too sensitive for the normal clerical staff, so the diplomatic staff took a crack at typing it. Hence, they were late for their meeting to break off negotiations.

could be, they have the incident where the Japanese Ambassador was late turning up with a "declaration of war" but the attack had already started. According to one book the drama of this incident is overdone.

But you have to be wary also since the Japanese did a propaganda movie that covered the Pearl Harbor attack. They used detailed miniatures that even fooled some American military. The guy who did the miniature effects would later go on to do the same thing for Godzilla movies.
John Ford also did a Pearl Harbor movie, which is why you see popping up footage of three SBD Dauntless dive bombers and next a US battleship blowing up.

If you want some (somewhat ahistorical) Spitfire porn, check out "Piece of Cake" a six-episode series based on a somewhat over the top book about how the RAF adapted to war over the first year.
It uses a fake squadron ("Hornet Squadron") and because flying Hurricanes were extinct, they had to use late-model Spitfires. So right away two problems - wrong Spitfires, and Spitfires were never sent to defend France in 1939-40. Churchill held all of them back.
BUT, it's great drama and a very compelling portrait of a *unit* rather than individuals. Indeed, squadrons during that period took high casualties, so watching the unit change over time is very cool. Great cast (of course).

As already noted elsewhere, for a Japanese head of government to physically embrace a foreign head of state is I think unprecedented. After that, Trump could have said whatever he wanted. She has a crushing majority, so it really doesn't matter, and I bet that with China running 24/7 anti-Japanese propaganda slop, showing that Daddy Trump loves Japan probably is being well received.

There is a very good old archaeology show Time Team where they have a weekend to dig at a site and find out all they can, throwing a lot of resources at it. One show they have is the crash of a Spitfire in France in 1940. It did take off in England. It went in nose first and the whole fuselage is packed into a few foot column of stuff.
They find a bit of the pilot's jacket - the chain to hang it up and present it to the man's brother shortly before his own death. The pilot's body had been recovered and buried in 1940.

Rev might have been thinking of those..... but they sent incendiaries by balloon against the USA's west coast, too. Called "fu-go."
Anyway, @106 Anna Puma pointed out that there were "cruise missile" unmanned planes being made in 1918, so neither the kamikaze nor the fu-go were first.

What was the FBI doing for four years under Biden? Oh right -- they were diverting anti-terrorism assets to try to frame the president of the United States. James Comey subpoenaed in alleged "grand conspiracy" against Trump
Former FBI Director James Comey has been subpoenaed in the wide-ranging "grand conspiracy" case against the ex-officials who investigated and prosecuted President Trump, two sources with knowledge of the situation tell Axios. Why it matters: The investigation has produced more than 130 subpoenas since cranking up last year, the sources say, and targets top officials who worked under former presidents Obama and Biden. The officials, including Comey, have all decried the investigation as political persecution and lawfare. Zoom in: The Trump administration's grand conspiracy theory posits that Democratic officials bent the rules, broke the law and lied under oath to investigate, prosecute and otherwise undermine Trump from his election in 2016 through his federal indictments in 2023. The Comey subpoena, issued last week, relates to his alleged role in the drafting of a January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) concerning Russia's election interference that favored Trump. The assessment referenced the now-widely discredited Steele Dossier, whose inclusion "ran counter to fundamental tradecraft principles and ultimately undermined the credibility of a key judgment," according to a "Tradecraft Review" completed in June under Trump's current CIA director, John Ratcliffe. Ratcliffe then referred Comey and former CIA director John Brennan for prosecution.
C3The Oscars' ratings fell yet again.
@C_3C_3 29m This is when the Deep State messed up... The Mar-a-lago raid by the Biden (Obama) Administration was part of the ongoing Russiagate conspiracy. This opened the door for a grand jury in Florida and not in the safety of DC. Oops!
Variety
@Variety Mar 17 The 98th annual #Oscars ratings hit 17.9M viewers, down 9% from last year and lowest since 2022:
Danielle GillI wonder why. Maybe it has something to do with Hollywood showering awards on the progressive vanity project, the explicitly pro-antifa terrorism One Battle After Another. Which by the way, bombed, ironically enough.
@danielledsouzag 6h The Oscars, which mocked Turning Point USA's Super Bowl halftime show, got lower ratings than the TPUSA halftime show. TPUSA's Halftime Show got 25 million household views. The Oscars got 17.9 million views. The American people are done being lectured by out-of-touch elites.
Ann CoulterCNN whines that they've heard reports that Trump may require banks to verify the citizenship status of customers, to insist in immigration control.
@AnnCoulter Liel Leibovitz in the Free Press: "As a work of art, One Battle After Another is irredeemable. It feels like the sort of thing written by a committee of socialist college sophomores cracking each other up ... "Paul Thomas Anderson seems interested more in purring for his fellow progressives than in making interesting movies ..."

I offered Joe face-to-face and you know it, Joe, don't bullsh*t people. I offered him a briefing on Butler. Did he show up the FBI headquarters to take it? No way. He did not. That's a fact, bro. You are a liar and a bullsh*tter. And you know it. I offered you that briefing and you didn't take it. You have hidden knowledge about something that happened at Butler? He's got hidden knowledge, folks. Amazing. The president, he was shot in the head. in Butler. He was shot in the head. No one spoke out more about the secret service failures in me. My first week on the job, I had the case agent in my office with an entire team, including a former secret service agent, briefing me about Butler. You know something? Spit it out! Grow a pair! Spit it out! You got some hidden knowledge? You see the grift though? Well, we don't know nothing. I know something. Black box, I got it. Watch my podcast. The FBI examined 35 accounts linked to Crooks. I thought we didn't analyze anything. I thought they told me that I thought they said that. Including social media, bank and other online accounts. But we don't know nothing. We don't know nothing about nothing. Amazing by the way, how keep this up. The same people out there, clan of people who were telling you out there that Iran's no threat can constantly tell you or imply at least that Iran was behind this kid produced no evidence. They tell you they know something and then they go but Iran's no threat. You just implied Iran tried to shoot Trump at with through this kid. Which story is it mother? Which story is it? Get your story straight. We don't have any evidence of that. Yes, Iran wants to kill Trump. Yes, this kid is a lunatic. It happens all the time a sadly. John Hinkley, Arthur Bremer, people lose their minds and do stupid stuff. Here's another more from this article. You guys can read it yourself. The home was completely swept, every device was collected and accessed. There were reports out there say we didn't get into certain devices. That's false. That is just made up. Joe would have known that if he would have read the article or just showed up at our office. " He is just Alexander Vindman 2.0. He is a liar and has zero credibility. Take everything he said last night and dump it in the garbage.

In the low-minded, it might be a racial thing, but the actual term they keep using is Zionist. The claim is that the Zionists themselves are Christian, Jewish, and atheist and actually have ill intent for the US, Jews, Christians, AND Israel. They are only using the "Greater Israel" idea to gain control of the Middle East. The overall intent being depopulation and control of the remainder. I think I have the characterization of the idea close to what "they" are saying. In summary, the idea is that it is all about control and de-population, and they don't actually care at all about Jewish people other than "How can we use them?"
That is the substance of what I am hearing. Not my ideas, I really don't think I understand the big picture here, really. About once a decade something happens that upends a lot of how I think the world works

Havocs, Mitchells, and Beaufighters turned eight transports and eight destroyers into wrecks. Rabaul got four of the destroyers back.
Pappy Gun and the NAA rep Fox produced the D-1 modification for the B-25s that saw FOUR .50 cal machine guns mounted in the bombardier glass and a further FOUR .50s mounted on the sides in package guns. The A-20 Havocs got a similar modification.
This air attack saw the use of skip bombing to bounce the bombs into the targets. This was the last large-scale attempt by the Japanese to resupply their forces in New Guines.

What are examples of U.S. media bias in war reporting?
U.S. media bias in war reporting often includes framing conflicts in a way that prioritizes certain perspectives, such as depicting Israeli actions as self-defense while downplaying Palestinian suffering. Additionally, coverage may reflect a double standard, with more attention given to wars in Europe compared to those in poorer regions, leading to a perception that violence is more acceptable elsewhere.
Where the hell did that happen?

They, like the Koreans and everyone else near China, hate China. They formed a tactical alliance to get the French and later US out (though there was some division on that) and then even International Socialist Brotherhood was not enough to have them at each other's throats.
But they are happy to make profit selling each other stuff. It's okay for trading partners to also kinda hate each other.

Much of this innovation came not from designers in factories, but from crews and engineers improvising in remote bases.
Paul “Pappy” Gunn, a former airline mechanic turned combat engineer, became a driving force behind these modifications, turning the bomber into a true gunship.

U.S. media bias in war reporting often includes framing conflicts in a way that prioritizes certain perspectives, such as depicting Israeli actions as self-defense while downplaying Palestinian suffering. Additionally, coverage may reflect a double standard, with more attention given to wars in Europe compared to those in poorer regions, leading to a perception that violence is more acceptable elsewhere.
Where the hell did that happen?
Posted by: Stateless at March 19, 2026 07:15 PM (Sco7b)
You hit some hard coded crap. How would not mentioning wars in "poorer regions" lead to a perception that violence is more acceptable there? That's just nuts.

They also found use of the package guns on the B-25s would cause cracking where the guns were mounted. That is why by the end of the war many Pacific Mitchells had them removed.
Besides a strafer B-25J had eight .50s in the nose, TEN if the top turret gunner locked his turret forward. There is overkill and then there is REAL overkill.
The XB-26K Counter Invader weighs in. It had 8 .50s in the nose and 6 .50s in the wings.

By the time Marcus died at 180 AD, the Republic had been gone for about 225 or more years at a minimum and had been pretty dysfunctional before that. The modern restore the Republic trope in Rome was just a lot of wishcasting. the "Republic" tended to have mystery mobs massacre people they didn't like with mobs.

I think he understood, and had thought about the criticism he was getting over a "sneak attack" and he saw this as an opportunity to remind the world that there are no rules in war.
This is a big deal. The Left uses this "rules of war" bullshit to weaken the USA. The only rule in war is to win.
Scott Adams would love this -- Trump saw an opportunity to redefine how judge action during war.

There was that warning to leadership of "prompt and utter destruction" just days before the bombings. Maybe it was too vague.
Man, I wish we had an edge like that now. Not that I want to kill hundreds of thousands of Iranians, but I'd like that kind of edge. Prompt and utter, from something no one else has and no one's ever seen before.

I did look up details on the Polish Navy but it was unclear about the current state. They once had a few frigates and the rest were very small and probably couldn't get there. There was lots of talk about a huge expansion and modernization but a lot of it seems to be mired in planning and admin right now.

John Solomon: US Intelligence Recorded Foreign Powers Discussing Routing USAID Money to Joe Biden in 2024, But They Hid This From Trump
He also faults Trump for not talking about this.
Now, he doesn't say that foreign power is Ukraine, but in a clip I posted yesterday, he talked about the Ukraine plotting to use US taxpayer money to interfere in the election on behalf of Joe Biden. I don't know why he's omitting the "Ukraine" part now; maybe his source confirmed it, but only if he agreed to not name Ukraine.This is why Democrats were so mad about the money from USAID getting shut off

Correction:
All government spending is a Democrat global money laundering operation.
If we eliminated the fraud and abuse, we could cut $1 trillion from the federal budget.
Especially since at least 1/3 of federal government employees exist solely to administer that part of spending that is due to the fraud and abuse.

Right as pressure is needed to pass the SAVE Act.

By the way, my 14 year old dog that somehow fell out of my bed this morning at 3am or so wasn't put to sleep. I went to Arby's to buy him meat for a potential last meal on the way to the vet.
That woke him up like Lazarus. I half-jokingly told the vet his will to live is stronger than mine. The vet gave him pain pills for 2 weeks. I'll be carrying him up and down steps and outside for washroom for about 2 weeks while he heals but he's only 40 some pounds.
I let the vet decide if it was time or not. He won't be in pain with the pills. So here we are.

The problem is that a significant fraction of the populace is just fine with, or possibly entirely in favor of, the lawlessness as long as it's their team being lawless. And they WILL NOT support prosecuting it.

JFK set it up as a State Department auxiliary in order the channel money fast overseas to fight the Cold War. And the CIA more or less and State Dept. constitute our foreign policy apparatus (which is why Nixon used Kissenger and the NSC to sidestep that establishment for Chicom and Treaty of Paris negotiations).
Prior to that, the CIA has spent a lot of money on the same sort of shit that AID took over. Like shoveling US money to opponents of communism even if they disliked or hated the US. Been reading William Colby's biography and lots of information about their hearts and minds open checkbook spending for 'soft' power. And buying journalism, scholars, etc.

Or maybe they framed the President for piss-hooker throw downs and then ran the smear through a bunch of media cutouts to create a pretext for a show trial? Or deployed corrupt military officers to do a similar thing with regard to foreign policy as a pretext for impeachment? Or maybe they exploited a leak from their illegal bioweapons program to cheat against him in the next election? Or performed a false-flag attack on the Capitol so they could prosecute him once out of office? Or used on-side SS details to set him up to be murdered? Or fenced stolen taxpayers funds to his election opponent when none of that worked?
That's all pretty bad. But the lying to him about all that - that's the shocker.

I’ve been called racist and islamophobic hundreds of times today for outlining Restore Britain’s policy on banning halal slaughter, the burqa, sharia law, cousin marriage and plenty more.
I want to be really clear about our party’s official response.
We do not give a shit.

John Solomon needs to re-read, "Art of the Deal." Most of the content deals with the importance of leverage. How to acquire it; how to use it; how to generate it etc.
Keep in mind that the negotiations between Russia and Ukraine continue to be on the periphery. He, already, has leverage on the Russians (dealing with the security and energy agreement signed with them before we took their president and nulified that deal). Russia is/was invested heavily in the heavy crude in Venezuela, on long term lease agreements.
Ukraine, on the other hand, now has leverage against them related to these "revelations"...even though we all suspected as much.
It's all about leverage.

Bondi is a politician first, Attorney General second. Accept that and everything she does begins to make a little more sense. A little.
Personally, I think she's timid. Afraid to do "the hard stuff" like threatening judges, juries and all the other stuff Garland did. Not saying it's right.... or wrong, but it is "the new normal."
Start by threatening some judges with violence. Then, do the violence if they persist. Otherwise, "nothing will happen." And when the left regains the levers of power they'll go ape shit on us.

1.) Since the Reformation, wars are only very rarely directly profitable for nations; only lenders and manufacturers, because a shit ton of money is going into that bloodsoaked toilet. They're fought for longer term and different goals than a quarterly report.
2.) Entitlements dwarf our military expenditures - another serious problem for large, wealthy militant empires throughout history.
IOW, these things are expensive, and we need money to do them, but they could produce some gain. Your welfare thing never will, and if we make this budgeting contingent on wasting ten times more money on bullshit than we need for a military goal, maybe your thing should go.

- Youth voters: Young men who swung to Trump in 2024 are bailing fast, with support dipping below 50% as they prioritize deportations and economic relief over endless foreign entanglements.
- Centrists and independents: Moderate swing voters are fleeing the GOP, sickened by the neocons' return and the war's fallout. Only one in four Americans back Trump's war.
You won! Your neocon masters managed to exploit Trump's major weakness: his ego. The resulting chaos and civil strife that their victory will yield after the Repubs are tossed from office is on YOUR heads.

Heh, old usage, I thought I remember it in Pogo comic strip but far older than that.
"Bunkum is a word meaning insincere, foolish, or empty talk; nonsense. It originated in the early 19th century from a speech given by Felix Walker, a U.S. congressman from Buncombe County, North Carolina, in 1820. During a debate on the Missouri Compromise, Walker delivered a long, irrelevant speech and defended it by saying he was speaking "to Buncombe"—referring to his constituents—rather than to Congress. His colleagues mocked the speech, and the phrase "speaking to Buncombe" quickly became a term for meaningless political rhetoric. "

Nowadays the preferred look is plump rather than pointy.

None of those sorry cucks would have so much as a committee assignment without Trump.
They'd fuck off the midterms with or without him. They're professional losers of the first water, and if he's not on the ticket, dragging them across the finish line, they'll wander off the track and start grazing in neighborhood gardens during the first lap - every single time.
Blaming Trump or his voters for their decades-long litany of gay failure is an approach - but it won't fix the failure of your Party. You might could go holler at them.

The New Darling of the Grifter Left and Grifter Right, Joe Kent, Seems to Have Flounced From His Job Because He Knew He Was Under Investigation for Illegal Leaking
Gee, I wonder which podcasters he may have been leaking to.
Former National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent is now at the center of a reported federal investigation, with multiple sources indicating the FBI is probing whether he leaked classified information--an inquiry that, notably, appears to have been underway before his abrupt resignation earlier this week. According to Semafor's Shelby Talcott, who cited four sources familiar with the matter, the investigation predates Kent's departure from his post and focuses on whether sensitive intelligence was disclosed to individuals not authorized to receive it. Talcott initially reported that three sources confirmed the probe, later adding a fourth.
... Kent announced his resignation publicly on X, framing his exit as a break over foreign policy. In a lengthy post, he argued he could no longer support what he described as an unnecessary conflict with Iran. "I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran," Kent wrote. "Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby." ... President Trump weighed in as well, offering a blunt assessment of Kent's departure and his stance on Iran. "I always thought he was a nice guy, but I always thought he was weak on security, very weak on security," Trump said. "But when I read his statement I realized, it's a good thing that he's out because he said that Iran was not a threat. Iran was a threat, every country realized what a threat Iran was. The question was whether or not they wanted to do something." The timeline now raises obvious questions. Kent's resignation was publicly tied to his disagreement over Iran policy--but the existence of a preexisting FBI investigation suggests there may have been far more unfolding behind the scenes than he wanted to admit.
If you anticipate being tried in court, it's useful to announce your solidarity with a small but passionate group of political lunatics. They'll do jury nullification on your behalf.
Dana Loesch
@DLoesch 18h Huh.
Seems like the guy was trying to get ahead of a damning story he brought on himself by leaking whatever he could get his hands on to the press, no matter how it affected our nation. Now his reported (and apparently fairly recent) conversion to the right, exclusion from intel briefings due to suspicion, and recent posts contradicting everything he's saying now have clarity.

Iran already had a lot of money but after both Obama and Biden shipped BILLIONS of dollars to them, they had a surplus to spend on suborning people and influencing what gets said and by whom.

following his resignation Trump literally said he was worried about his abilities yet no one pressed him on why he nominated him in the first place.
I would think a former Green Beret Warrant Officer with 11 combat tours, and then later worked with the CIA, would cover his tracks on disseminating sensitive information. I'm calling smoke and mirrors.
Imagine them going after someone like Kent before the creeps who raped children. Joe spoke negatively and truthfully about Israel and now he’s going to be viciously attacked. The power Israel has in the United States is staggering
Israel is the #1 threat to American sovereignty. The last president to tell them no in a serious way was JFK 5 months before his death and replacement with an administration that was the most pro-Israel yet
He didn't grow a conscience, he's someone very far to the right of the administration he served in, who hopes that criticism of America's relationship with Israel, will create more antisemitism in the US.

It would make a great deal of sense, circumstantially, for whatever that's worth, which is not much.
Carlson's perpetual look of fake surprise seemed genuine when he was talking about how there was never any clue there would be an attack.
I mean - that's retarded. When a carrier group takes a hard left out of the Straits of Malacca and shuts off its transponders, that's a pretty good sign. If I could read it, so could anyone else. At minimum, it means "there's a real strong possibility that the US Navy is planning to push somebody's shit in near the Arabian Sea."
But he seemed stunned by it - which might suggest someone in the administration told him that it wasn't happening, that this massive show of strength was just a bluff.
And that could be someone who the administration looked at and said "that stupid dick hates Israel, and loves Carlson, and Carlson is leaking to the enemy. Leak some bullshit to dumb-dumb and let him slop Carlson's trough with it."

FWIW, a code clerk in the US Embassy, TYler Kent, lol, was stealing top secret documents and giving them to Axis spies.
"Tyler Kent was a code and cipher clerk at the U.S. Embassy in London during World War II who stole thousands of classified documents in 1940, including confidential telegrams between President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Prime Minister Winston Churchill. He accessed the materials while working in a position that required encoding and decoding sensitive diplomatic communications.
Motivations and associations included his staunch isolationist beliefs, opposition to Roosevelt's foreign policy, and involvement with the British Right Club—an antisemitic, anti-interventionist group led by Conservative MP Archibald Maule Ramsay. Kent shared some documents with Anna Wolkoff, a member of the Right Club, who sent copies to Germany via the Italian Embassy. The documents were later confirmed to have reached Wilhelm Canaris, head of the German Abwehr."

US Academia at the time was infatuated with Eugenics. They also really hated Jews.
I've never understood Jew hatred, and until just a few years ago I thought Americans were mostly over it. I was wrong. So many of them came out of the closet after Oct 7 and during the Ukraine and Iran conflicts. I've seen many people reflexively oppose both conflicts because, "That's what the Jews want us to do!"
I absolutely do not want us involved in Ukraine and I want us to be out of Iran ASAP, but not because of, "the Jews."

I think he is probably pretty normal, notwithstanding probably still traumatized by the loss of his first wife.

In a top secret compartmentalized role, basically anything you say to outsiders not vetted and security cleared can be considered a leak including what you are working on at the moment.
As a former Green Beret, Kent knew what the standard was for disclosure of information which is different perhaps than a political hire that got stuck on top of an operation from the outside.
The usual play to determine whether someone is leaking by Trump is to give that person false information and see if it pops up. Depending on whether the target is a whole department or a targeting individual, you may give different people different false stories and the one that shows up in the press demonstrates who the leaker is. Then you focus on building a case by a thorough counter intel examination of that target.
Want a fictionalized taste of it, Palfrey of Westminster is free streamed on You Tube. Especially watch the first pilot episode for how to catch and destroy a traitor in place. Same process for leakers.

It looks like Joe Kent has a serious chance of getting prosecuted for his leaking. Maybe the current public persona of this chameleon is intended as a bargaining chip with respect to that.

Modern era, elite competition for jobs, money, power, and influence for one thing. The second is that for better or worse, a lot of Eastern European Jews got involved in various socialist and communist groups from the 1800's to the 1900's.

He reminds me of Fuentes, who both work at the mirror with mousse to get that little curl "just so." With a totally carefree and natural vibe. Not.
I can put on my make-up, rip out my hot curlers, flip my hair around, and be ready in 10min flat. Sometimes mascara in a moving car if running late. This is basically unchanged for decades, even back when I looked good. I am still unconquered as redneck conservative womman vs a liberal, shrieking and angry harpy. I still got it.

AND, more importantly, if no one is in place to protect his acts, does that mean that the Deep State is flailing and pulling "Hail Marys" in an effort to shape foreign policy in an effort to sabotage the current administrations policy?

They must be grifters, Nazis, criminals, haters of Jews, agents of Qatar, or worse. There can be no honest difference of opinion here. We must build American gulags for them.
And there is only ever one issue of importance. Who knows what these people think about taxes, debt, immigration, vote fraud, DEI, crime, inflation etc etc, but it doesn't matter. None of these are the issue of importance.
Personally, I think we waited to long to whack the ayatollahs. They were allowed to perfect very effective ballistic missiles and drones. Israel has mostly shut down coverage of the damage done to them but they Iranians have been more effective than the public knows.
Perhaps they will send me to the gulag for being more agressive than the Israel Lobby. You gotta be right in lockstep with them, just as with the Bolsheviks.

My understanding is that gas is a cash business - no pay on credit, even for the real big retailers. The payment goes through as the tanker truck shows up. Since there is huge volatility in the gas market right now, the retailers cannot get caught short in the event of a price spike, so they hedge to make sure they have the cash to pay for the next shipment.

These six carriers formed the core of the Japanese Pearl Harbor Striking Force, launching a total of 353 aircraft in two waves during the attack. All six carriers survived the attack and returned safely to Japan, though they were later lost in subsequent battles of the Pacific War. You may now continue.

Trump could easily repeat the mistake Bush the Elder made by calling off the first Gulf War after 100 hours without even getting a peace treaty much less requiring that they hand over Saddam and formally relinquish claims to Kuwait and WMD programs. Leaving Saddam in place even after his military was defeated just sowed the seeds for the next, even bigger war.
There is deep, widespread opposition to the brutal theocracy but the opposition has no guns. The IRGC and the Basij have all the guns.
Israel's approach of launching widespread small drone hits against the regime enforcers helps, but it is not near enough.
And it's a tough sell for the Persian population if it is seen as the Jews and the Arabs imposing a new government on them. Another reason for us to be seen separately than the Gulf states and Israel.

"186 Democrats kick and scream as critical bill targeting fraudsters narrowly passes House"
Excerpt:
"Despite heavy opposition from Democrats, the Deporting Fraudsters Act of 2026 narrowly passed the House of Representatives Wednesday.
The bill, sponsored by Ohio GOP Rep. Dave Taylor, passed 231-186, with all 186 nays coming from the Democratic Party, according to Fox News.
The purpose of the bill is to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to more stringently target fraud."

And what precisely are those good faith arguments?
Very few people disagree with the axiom that what is good for Israel isn’t necessarily good for the United States. You can actually insert any country into that statement.
But that’s not the argument they are making. In fact in the case of Kent, the argument is counter factual. As are many fallacies posing as arguments that Tucker makes.

Not as much pro-Islam as anti-Israel. They despise Israel and its transition from socialist backwater to free-market powerhouse. They wanted Iran to be the power in the middle East as a counterweight to Israel.

A twist of paranoid schizophrenia about the French Foreign Legion and Jews.
Plus delusions of grander...which may fall under the malignant narcissist ICD code, scrambled with borderline personality disorder.
Basically she's a casserole of psych diagnoses that I can see. I am not a shrink or a psych nurse, but I did take a walloping amt of psych classes to determine that I am not at all insane and despised every bit of it.
Because I had to in my nursing major. I hated the classes and rotating through psych as a student. My husband and classmates and professor would verify how much I endured in this nightmare of half a semester.
Boyfriend/husband would have to almost pry my hands off his car door to leave me at these places whimpering. Fellow students felt the same, so I was not alone.

And that's why we must ban every person who voted for Trump from ever voting again, they support the destruction of the US and must never be given the chance to do this harm again.
Felons don't have the right to vote, what Trump voters have done is far worse than most felonies. I don't understand why people are so hesitant to punish people for their bad decisions
Mainstream media's rapid lurch to the far-right shouldn't be a surprise to anyone given how they've all bent the knee, obeyed in advanced, bribed the regime with fake settlements, etc.
Libertarians, and Republican, are adjacent. Trump still has a low 40's approval number. America runs off Dunkin and sadism.

I know when I need to go to the hair salon for a cut and highlight because I have a mirror. Why doesn't she try something new and gain about 10lbs?
Catherine Deneuve once said (I think it was her) that after 45yrs you need to choose your face or behind. I chose my face. My behind needs work, a lot of work, and I wish I could fly Piper out here for advice.

The low rungs of the American left seemed pretty vehement about sending in Americans to die in Ukraine, too. It was vital for democracy to march to the Kremlin.
And Biden didn't even give the good military tech to Ukraine.
Also, we have 5+ years of Trump's foreign policy to use as a guide. He doesn't do invasions.

I don't think so, because this is a red line for a lot of people.
If Trump reverts to the Bush norm he was get the same outcome both electorally and in his war.
But so far he's been the anti-Bush (I guess that makes him a Brazilian?)

Think this through: If Iran really is the threat that Trump says they are, then we can't leave them standing. It has to be Total Mullah Death, and a friendly government installed.
The only way to do that is with boots on the ground. We're not getting regime change with air power alone. That has never worked.
So either we put boots on the ground or we don't believe our bullshit about Iran being a nuclear threat.

I suspect their analysis went something like this:
If we formally enter the war we don't have enough soldiers and Europe will send none so we'll need a draft
Starting a draft is one of those potential black swan moments that could lead to a Col rolling into DC and hanging all of us to public acclaim
Therefore we need more propaganda to get people on board first...
And then they just ran out of time.
Remember, ever right after 9/11 Shrub...SHRUB...knew a draft was a bad idea politically...

Here is the interesting thing, though. IF (and a big if indeed) Trump had followed the typical Neocon playbook, it would have been to force Nobel Peace Prize winner Maria Corina Machado onto the Venezuelans as their new master, and she was 100% into gay rights and other key progressive and open society goals. And Tucker would have been right in saying the Venezuelan adventure was to force that thinking on Venezuela.
However, Trump is not onboard with the neocon goals -- thank God.

North Korea didn't have the capability... until it did. It's not like Iran isn't working on it.
If you wait until they have it, you're faced with no option but either destroying them completely - including the millions who oppose the regime, or death.

The left don't care about facts nor logic--all their arguments are purely rhetorical (and bad rhetoric based on falsehood to boot). The Right thinks you can reason people out of opinions that they never used reason to get in the first place. A few will get the whack from reality soon enough to change. Most will not.
The independents are always trying to triangulate between left and right leaving them confused, in a muddle, and low information as to policy cause and effect. These are the people that always pick the default middle position on religion, morals, crime, etc. They are most conservative with their own life and what they know but feel being in the middle of the herd of society publically is what protects them.

You see, I was playing on this very idea.
I set up the situation (tattooed on my forehead). I set up the potential and obvious problem (can't read it in the mirror).
This would lead to the reader assume that I can't read it because I had it done the normal way.
And then I undercut that expectation by playing into my long held truth of being an illiterate (also an asshole, but that is ancillary to this joke).

That was one of the first clues that Europe was in the Terminal Looting phase; they couldn't take their hands out of the till long enough to buy enough military to enforce their precious Worldie norms. Another was when they tried to send vehicles and aircraft to Ukraine, they couldn't scrounge up as much as they said, and much of what they sent went directly to a "use for parts" section since it hadn't actually been maintained. Unless Poland decides to conquer Europe, the most they could do to each other is retard slapfights.

I don't do it to prove anyone else wrong because they don't listen and are emotionally driven and what's more they only want to convert or kill me. I have argued with the Left for years and I do it strictly for my own entertainment.

Really? I had this argument with Podhoritz over at NRO about the time the Passion came out.
As a bad Catholic, from my observation, some jews take ANY fervent display of Chritianity as prima facia anti Semitism. It really does seem to be a thing. As far as I can tell, it is a reflexive cultural thing stretching back 100s of years.
Not sure how to attack that one. As has been stated very often it is near impossible to deny your way out of perceived prejudice when it is something you are except to become something different. I have always suspected it crosses the boundaries between politics, religion and culture.

Iran has never been known for restraint. They usually shoot their shot when they can without much of a plan. Even when they were cowing the mideast and Syria they never bothered to bring in the other states into the fold and make a real going concern of it.
If they had a bunch of operatives ready to go, it would have gone off already.

He comes around from time to time including last week. I think he did have a law practice so that may be taking more of his time.
Rightly or wrongly, Trump has forced a major shift in the Right as far as what is possible, what is good, and what is bad.
In the process, the GOPe has had its charlatinism on a lot of doable policies that the GOPe just did not want done. From GHWB to GWB, failure theater became embedded into the GOP because the donor and official class wanted a kindler gentler corporate globalism policy, not functional GOP policies to reverse the leftist drift.
Closing the border, ending the US being screwed by our foreign trade partners, stopping globalism, rejecting eco tyranny and rule by judges, etc.

Many of the most vicious Jew-haters I know are devout Catholics.
Those are performative Catholics. And I submit those Catholics haven't read Paul's "Romans" very closely.
Paul did get a little excitable at gentiles who were being performatively Jewish ("hey, let's all get snipped!!"), but he remembered his name was "Saul" and wasn't going to run off his blood kin.

I won't go to RI for the event, however. I also hope Blake Lively Loon won't be invited, either (I can't stand her!).
We all know she will be wearing her red lipstick.
While I still have good lips...after insults for decades about them by my brother...I can't pull of red lipstick. I look like a clown and it's not me of the hippy dippy natural look of the late '70's.
I've had one or two "make overs" and run home and scrub it off. Once in NYC before dinner with my husband and it had to wait (subtle green eyeliner, which wasn't bad, but I don't need eyeliner).
This concludes whatever is going on in my squirrel cage brain for now. I had enough sleep to do a few chores after weeks of TB and loss of time and mind. Going to get cracking!

As a bad Catholic, from my observation, some jews take ANY fervent display of Chritianity as prima facia anti Semitism.
Yeah some Jews have a bad way of thinking that Christianity is necessarily hostile toward Judaism which is contradictory but I kind of understand it. In the past, there were more than a few people professing Christianity that have been horrific toward Jews.

🚨 BREAKING: 🚨The Maricopa County Board of Elections has come forward to issue an apology to President Trump, stating that elections officials in the county have now brought forth evidence alleging that then Secretary of State (now Governor) Katie Hobbs and then Speaker of the Arizona House of Representatives Rusty Bowers PERSONALLY ORDERED THEM TO DESTROY TENS OF THOUSANDS OF MAIL-IN BALLOTS FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP and to count the TENS OF THOUSANDS OF BALLOTS THAT WERE CAST BY ILLEGAL ALIENS FOR JOE BIDEN in Arizona's largest county in the 2020 election. This was "outcome-determinative fraud" by the very individuals who were entrusted to conduct, oversee and certify the election and Hobbs and Bowers are both alleged to have been on the payroll of at least 3 hostile foreign governments, The George Soros Open Society Foundation and The DNC in exchange for RIGGING the 2020 election in Arizona. Put simply, there is now IRREFUTABLE AND INDISPUTABLE PROOF that President Trump WON the state of Arizona in that STOLEN election out of the mouths of the very people who counted the votes.

Eh, been there done that with the tshirt over gun policy advocacy, working in politics, etc. Basically most people in society are there for the ride, politics and cause and effect of policies cause them to be rationally ignorant. And they can develop those policy preferences by empirical evidence smacking them over the head like Eastern Europeans being virulently anti commie and likely Iranians becoming virulently anti mullah if freed. But they cannot be reasoned into those positions from others.
Kipling's Gods of the Copybook Headings is a dismal dose of reality but societies really do repeatedly make the same mistakes. Some survive it, others go extinct but those truths that Kipling discusses in his poem are eternal. No amount of utopianism, logical arguments, nor even knowledge of human history will dissuade some from thinking this time it is different. It won't be.

Witkoff, who was in the room as chief negotiator, says that the Iranian negotiators were saying that had several hundred pounds of 60% enriched uranium, that there was nothing the US could take from Iran without military force, that they were definitely going to enrich further, and that no, they would not take a perpetual lifetime of nuclear fuel for reactors in exchange.

All that and... Jesus was a Jew. All the apostles were Jews. Almost every book in the Bible was written by Jews. Christians would argue that our faith is the proper and natural continuation of Judaism from the Old Testament.
In no way and at no time should Christians ever hate or persecute any group at all, let alone based on its ethnic background, Jews in particular.

And yet, Judgement is mine saith the Lord. Deciding the fate of others not in communion with Christ is up to the big guys and not for us on earth. And we can witness and make available our knowledge that Jesus loves them too and wants them to take his embrace regardless of what they are, what they've done, etc. But the choice is always the individual's, not ours to make but the Lord's.
In my case, I judge people for their actions but not to determine their salvation or not. Instead, it is to avoid the bad and embrace the good.

Official Twitter Account of Republic of Somaliland: We Have Proof That Ilhan "Omar's" Real Last Name is "Elmi," Changed to Hide the Fact That Her Father is a Genocidal Warlord
And to defraud the US immigration system, of course.
I have to correct something I have repeatedly gotten wrong: I have long called Ilhan "Omar" by the name Ilhan "Omar" Nur, to stress that "Omar" is not her real name. She falsified her name to fraudulently emigrate on an Omar family visa. I kept saying her real last name is "Nur." That's wrong. Nur is her father's first name, not his surname. Her actual real last name is "Elmi." Apparently her father, Nur Elmi, began using the name "Omar" to hide his identity.REPUBLIC OF SOMALILAND
@RepOfSomaliland
🧾 Receipts: Ilhan Omar's original last name was Elmi before it was changed.
This evidence was available, but the Obama Justice Department refused to investigate. Her brother, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, and their father, Nur Said Elmi (also known as Nur Omar), used multiple names across different countries. Part of the family fled to the United Kingdom, while Ilhan Omar and others entered the United States under their father's assumed name, "Omar." These name changes and split identities were used to conceal the father's true war crimes and identity. Marriage details: * Groom: Ahmed Nur Said Elmi
* Bride: Ilhan Abdullahi Omar

Between 1981 and 1991, the Somali military in which Colonel Nur Omar Mohamed, Ilhan Omar's father, served as a senior officer executed a brutal and systematic campaign of genocide targeting the Isaaq people of the modern day Republic of Somaliland. This dark chapter in Africa's history, which was known as the Isaaq Genocide, was a merciless military campaign that resulted in the killing of over 200,000 Isaaq civilians. It also involved widespread forced displacement, scorched‑earth destruction of the second and third largest cities (Hargeisa and Burao), aerial bombardement of almost every other single city, town and village in Somaliland, and two decades of large‑scale red-terror style tactics against the civilian population of Somaliland. It was carried out through relentless aerial bombardments -- planes repeatedly strafed fleeing refugees -- summary executions, burning of entire villages, deportations, land‑mining of water sources and homes, Holodomor style government enforced man-made famines (the Dabadheer Drought) and the use of paramilitary units such as the Somali Armed Forces' "Dabar Goynta Isaaqa" (The Isaaq Exterminators), composed exclusively of non-ethnically Isaaq soldiers, to enact mass killings under Somalia's military direction.Oh, and that account wants you to know that Somaliland is not the same country as Somalia.
War-damaged houses in Hargeysa, a major city in northern Somalia, 1991. Eyewitness testimonies documented "mass executions by firing squad, forced disappearances, looting, mass torture, mass surveillance, rape used as a weapon, curfews and mass killings of civilians even in areas with limited resistance or lawful liberation movement activities, such in Berbera where thousands of government soldiers were stationed. Isaaq civilians across what was then the Somalia Republic, were detained and executed en-mass by Somalia government execution squads led by Colonels like Ilhan Omar's father. Across the country civilians were forced from their homes into dehumanising conditions, including many kept in dungeons, underground prisons and pits. Even famous Isaaqs such as Somaliland's most renowned poet 'Hadraawi' did not escape this torture and years of detention under the most brutal and unsanitary conditions imaginable. Even in Mogadishu, deep inside neighbouring Somalia -- and almosr 1,500KM from Somaliland's capital of Hargeisa -- Isaaq civilians were being killed in their homes, in the city and on Mogadishu's beaches. The Jazeera massacre of 1989 is a particularly brutal example that is etched in history. At the heart of this brutal military regime was Colonel Nur Omar Mohamed, Ilhan Omar's father. His rank, authority, membership of the regime Daarood clan, and 10+ years of having climbed the hierarchy in Somalia military to the rank of Colonel, placed him squarely in the Somali military's command hierarchy during and at the height of its Isaaq genocide campaign. Based on his position, loyalty to the regime, and his role in the military, it is virtually certain that he had intimate knowledge of and involvement in the planning, conception, direction and execution of the genocide. By both legal and historical standards, despite Ilhan Omar's team's spin in numerous recent articles which have been placed in left-leaning online publications, the logical conclusion that Ilhan Omar's father was almost certainly intimately involved in the Isaaq Genocide is unmistakable. It is supported on the balance of probabilities and the totality of circumstantial and inferential evidence available indicates, more critically, that it meets the threshold that this was the case 'beyond reasonable doubt'.
REPUBLIC OF SOMALILANDOkay so Somaliland is very opposed to Somalia. But I trust them a lot more than the pirate filth of Ilhan Elmi's murderous family.
@RepOfSomaliland Mar 17 Dear Americans, The good people of Somaliland did not steal your hard-earned tax dollars.
Somaliland is not Somalia. Think South Korea vs. North Korea -- same language, similar names, but completely different ethics, morals, realities, economies, and systems. Professor Shahid Bolsen will explain. Sincerely,
The Republic of Somaliland
REPUBLIC OF SOMALILAND
@RepOfSomaliland Mar 15 Somaliland withdrew from its union with Somalia in 1991 after war and mass atrocities committed against its people by Somalia. - Egypt and Syria formed the United Arab Republic, then separated.
- Senegal and Gambia formed the Senegambia Confederation, then separated.
- Czechia and Slovakia formed Czechoslovakia, then peacefully separated.
- Serbia and Montenegro formed a union, then separated.
- The United Kingdom joined the European Union, then left. If political unions around the world can dissolve, why is Somaliland treated differently?

=======
Similar people, similar religion, different colonial masters. British (and there was a French enclave too) had Somaliland as a colony, the other part of Somalia was ran by Italy as a colony. Italy was crappy about running its African empire.
Similar differences across the Red Sea in Yemen--S. Yemen and N. Yemen. merged after the Cold War ended.
A lot of this is because Britain knew its access to oil and shipping lanes after the Suez canal depending on being able to keep the pirates down. So they put colonies in those areas to keep shipping safer and oil flowing from the Middle East.

I don't want them to be embarrassed; I want them to be furious. Their military incapacity is a sign of the level of parasitic load in their society, indicating that the grifter class has completely stolen all of their country's accumulated wealth and most of their nation's ongoing income.
To state it plainly, probably 80% of their public expenditures are waste, fraud, and grift. They badly need their own Doge. What's more, all populist parties around the world should be demanding an audit of their gold reserves (with spot checks for purity) -- yes, including Europe and the Anglosphere. There is no reason for anyone to trust any establishment anywhere on anything. That's the takeaway.

Gateway Pundit:
Trump Vindicated Again: Forbes Values Mar-a-Lago at Massive $560 Million, Exposing Letitia James’ Fake Numbers
During New York State Attorney General Letitia James’ 2023 civil fraud/political persecution of President Trump, one of her most ridiculous assertions was that the president had ‘overvalued’ his Mar-a-Lago property.
According to Tish and affirmed by crackpot Manhattan Judge Arthur, the massive oceanfront estate was only worth $18 million.
President Trump said during the trial, “But this is the Attorney General of New York State, Leticia James, and she shouldn’t be allowed to be Attorney General. She’s defrauded the public with this trial.”
...In Forbes’ 2026 Billionaires list coverage, the outlet updated its valuation of Mar-a-Lago to $560 million, up from $370 million the previous year and a far cry from James’ politically motivated assessment.

Israel already has recognized Somaliland. And we should too. Simply put, colonial governments and borders in Africa and the Middle East were set up for Western purposes to govern and prevent other Western rival nations from access to resources but in a tribal and clan societies, it built in civil wars that have raged since the colonizers left.
Made worse by the Cold War and Islam. Diversity and proximity to each other are not a recipe for internal order of a state. Let Somaliland separate peaceably is my suggestion if they can make it stick.

First name (personal name),
Father’s first name (middle name),
Paternal grandfather’s first name (last name).
For example: Ali Omar Elmi
Ali = personal name
Omar = father’s name
Elmi = paternal grandfather’s name
This format emphasizes patrilineal heritage and lineage. The last name is not a fixed family surname but rather the name of the grandfather, which changes with each generation. This is why siblings share the same second and third names, but the names of married parents and their children often differ. You may now continue.

This reminds me of all the Anti-Semite Nazi rats at the end of World War II that took off for South America and changed their names. That a fraud like ilhan Is always calling Americans, whom she apparently despises, Nazis is behaving exactly like actual Anti-Semite Nazis is an example of molten hot irony. Odds on she also dipped her beak into the millions of dollars that were stolen in Minnesota. Maximum pressure until she gets deported.
Speaking of criminal Muslims here in the United States. I came across yesterday a case that involves murder, bigamy, theft, fraud, cheering for 9/11, and complaining that Sharia law should be used during the death penalty trial and sentencing. Islam is absolutely incompatible with Western societies.

The Duchy of Grand Fenwick saga, by an Irish author / reporter.
The Mouse that Roared
The Mouse on the Moon
The Mouse on Wall Street.
All entertaining.
Posted by: NaCly Dog

I read the Mouse that Roared and watched part of the movie. Once was enough as I preferred sci fi at that age when I read it. I think Grand Fenwick was based on Luxembourg. It would have had a different flavor if based on Andora, San Marino, or Lichtenstein. Looks like there was a sequel movie, based on the Moon book.

We simply need to recognize that people are not widgets and come with their own complicated stories, tribes, clans, etc. and the borders and countries need to coincide with the preexisting societies and culture. Thus, S. Sudan and Sudan, Eritea and Ethiopia, etc. etc.
Trump initially chastised Israel for recognizing Somaliland and then had second thoughts. My guess is State Dept and ngo types were reacting in horror that a dysfunctional Somalia might suddenly become less so (at least in Somaliland area).
Indicates Trump is not beholden to the NGO and State Dept. mafia in that he reconsidered his original statements and walked them back when informed.

Slow bubbling resentments and ethnic clashes that can be spun up into a war are the most important things for the global elite.

Lot of weird shit in the 2026 election zeitgeist. Lot of redistricting, Democrats having a popularity rating in the toilet with the GOP rating slightly better, the war going on, and a hardening of public attitudes on a lot of issues.
And some shoes to drop on elections, the Russia Russia grand juries, massive fraud being exposed in state after state, and the increased scrutiny of Act Blue, Win Red, and their smurfing ways.
Trump also has the weird divergence that Billy Jeff showed in his second term where a lot of the disapproval is over the person rather than the policies. So the traditional presidential approval ratings include respondents that like Trump's policies but not the man himself for whatever reason--morals, propriety, etc.

The EU and Japan Hint They Might Do Something to Protect Shipping in the Strait of America
I don't believe them. This is very gauzy and gaseous.
Trump should just declare that only ships transiting to the Western Hemisphere will be protected. All other ships? Iran, do your worse.Jacqui Heinrich"Appropriate efforts" means "we issued this paper statement." The statement commits to nothing:
@JacquiHeinrich NEW: UK, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, & Japan issue joint statement expressing "readiness to contribute to appropriate efforts" to ensure safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz, welcoming nations engaging in prep/planning & coordinating SPR releases and ways to increase output. Calls for Iran to "cease immediately its threats, laying of mines, drone and missile attacks and other attempts to block the Strait to commercial shipping, and to comply with UN Security Council Resolution 2817"
That's the extent of their commitment: they express their readiness to "appropriate efforts" and welcome the commitment of other nations to "preparatory planning."
We condemn in the strongest terms recent attacks by Iran on unarmed commercial vessels in the Gulf, attacks on civilian infrastructure including oil and gas installations, and the de facto closure of the Strait of Hormuz by Iranian forces. We express our deep concern about the escalating conflict. We call on Iran to cease immediately its threats, laying of mines, drone and missile attacks and other attempts to block the Strait to commercial shipping, and to comply with UN Security Council Resolution 2817. Freedom of navigation is a fundamental principle of international law, including under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. The effects of Iran's actions will be felt by people in all parts of the world, especially the most vulnerable. Consistent with UNSC Resolution 2817, we emphasise that such interference with international shipping and the disruption of global energy supply chains constitute a threat to international peace and security. In this regard, we call for an immediate comprehensive moratorium on attacks on civilian infrastructure, including oil and gas installations. We express our readiness to contribute to appropriate efforts to ensure safe passage through the Strait. We welcome the commitment of nations who are engaging in preparatory planning.

They protested in January and got 20,000 killed.
I think its not as powerful a movement as we assumed.
And riots like that have a tendency to burn out.
I am very worried that Iran is not really 100% anti-mullah.
Maybe its 20% or 30%.
It may be harder than we think to topple them.

A YouTube commenter, of all things, turned me on to a better explanation.
You know how everyone's saying AI will eliminate 90% of jobs and so there should be more socialism?
Europe believed that about the industrial revolution 100 years ago and actually did the "more socialism" thing. That had the effect of freezing their laws and industries in amber and caused them to not be a serious player in the next two revolutions after that, the information revolution in the 60s/70s, and the Internet revolution in the 90s/00s.

Maybe its 20% or 30%.
The idea that there was a majority virulently opposed to the Mullahs was unlikely.
Most people there as most people everywhere just want to focus on their own lives.
But now Trump has influence - the people that were kind of anti-Mullah know that things will keep getting worse until they do something aligning their very nominal political views with the things they really care about...

They've been hitting them constantly for the last week+.
I really don't know why people on our side are panicking. We've lived with the threat of the largest sponsor of state terror, that includes Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis and others, for almost 50 years. They've killed and maimed thousands of Americans in the Iraq War and helped Venezuela flood our country with drugs and gangs. They are the nexus of terror and evil. How much do you think that has cost us over the last 50 years?
So gas prices go up for a few weeks, maybe longer. It's absolutely a bit of pain I am willing to endure to end the mullahs once and for all. Maybe we can stop worrying about leftists bitching about gas prices and focus on winning and what that will bring.

Yes, trump overtly stated to hld off the start of the counter-revolution until the bombs stopped dropping, to avoid freidnly fire incidents.
But I'm not sure that's wise. I think an internal assault on the iRGC needs to happen simultaneously with the external assault. Having the two halves of the war happen sequentially allows the IrGC to concentrate on each enemy threat one-by-one, rather than be overwhelmed.

Iran is not 100% anti-mullah. It's estimated to be about 70% anti-mullah. The pro-mullah people have ~98% of the weapons.
Why haven't the people risen up? Because Trump, Netanyahu, and Pahlavi have all told them to wait until the bombing campaign is done. This question has been answered, repeatedly, but I suspect it'll be asked yet again as soon as later today.

For most of us, gas is an ongoing expense, so it makes sense to average out the price over a longer timeline. Gas was way high all through the Biden junta, and began to come down when Trump was sworn in, and continued to drop until this current Iran war ramped up. It will likely stay up until the war is won, which will happen in a few weeks. Average that out to a per-annum gas price, and we still come out ahead.

The problem we face in Iran is who lasts longer, us, or the Mullahcracy?

Maybe you missed the two decades we spent in Iraq and Afghanistan. We are used to long engagements, and bombing Iran is just plain fun. It's not like we are five months into it.
Besides, the Israelis never get tired of dropping bombs. Bombing Muslims is their national pasttime now.
The mullahs have no money. No air cover. We can kill their police eating lunch. We're killing off everyone of flag rank. Eventually they get sick of it and quit.
But even if they don't, we can fly top cover on them indefinitely. We did it from 1991-2002 and then kept right on going. No one cares about air rotations.

So gas prices go up for a few weeks, maybe longer. It's absolutely a bit of pain I am willing to endure to end the mullahs once and for all. Maybe we can stop worrying about leftists bitching about gas prices and focus on winning and what that will bring.

You have roughly 125k IRGC members before this war kicked off and about 1 million or so Basij. Many of the Basij did it for the money. The IRGC is like the CCP in China, they ran the state and economy, the Basij were the hired help in repressing the Iranians.
Now, the money is worthless even if you could somehow pay the Basij (we nuked their bank that did that along with computers), the Basij face death from above or from their own countrymen on the down low, and the IRGC is getting hammered.
They cannot meet in groups anymore (see the Israeli attacks on sports facilities being used as assembly points), their comms are likely shaky and compromised, and they are hunkered down in safe houses that can be exposed by Iranians calling in fire from the sky.
Waiting game until the Basij crack and the IRGC's military assets are destroyed--trucks, logistics, arms depots, etc.

US flagged vessels, particularly tankers, are almost non existent most do Jones Act protected shipping from US port to US port, not the Middle East.
To the extent that you have some Marshall Island flagged tankers, they are often foreign owned and crewed with whatever sailors world wide that can be scraped up for the lowest cost.
Fracking changed the equation. US is a net exporter now of LNG and oil. Most of the rest of the industrialized world is not.
Simply put, we need very little from the Persian Gulf, our putative allies like Australia, New Zealand, Europe, and Japan (not to mention China which is not an ally) do need that oil.

Exactly what it is. We are testing the hypothesis that if you kill enough leaders and the thugs that keep an unpopular and murderous regime in power, then a more civil society will emerge.
Ironically, by pissing off the neighbors and literally cutting off the oil supply to the Euros, India, Chicoms, etc., Iran is running out of any international counterbalancing that is willing to keep them in power.
It is also killing the green dream to some extent revealing that solar cells and windmills cannot and do not run a modern industrialized economy. You need coal, nukes, nat gas, oil, etc. even if your cars are EV.

The ChiComs are terrified by what they are seeing. There are constant uprisings in China right now, and a clean "decapitation" war would probably cause their government to immediately fall. China is an empire, not a nation-state.

The theft of 400 high-end vehicles in Metro Detroit is a significant and alarming incident that highlights the vulnerabilities in the auto industry. The operation, which spanned from mid-2023 to mid-2025, involved the systematic collection and export of these vehicles to markets in the Middle East, where demand for luxury cars remains strong. The investigation revealed a sophisticated and organized scheme that operated quietly, with most owners unaware of the fate of their vehicles. The indictment of eight suspects involved in this international car theft and smuggling ring underscores the need for vigilance and prevention efforts to protect communities from such crimes.

No problem. But the you did voice concerns via your joke that others that are lurkers may be harboring. Wars are unsettling things and figuring out how to stick the landing (and our leaders cannot tell us what the plan in advance is because it a) depends on enemies not knowing exactly what it is, b) the enemy always gets a voice in these things).
Strategic ambiguity as to intentions of US and Israel allows space for maneuvers that unconditional surrender does not.

Look, there are some basics that must be followed in every war.
1. Make sure everyone knows what you’re going to do before you do it, especially Internet commenters.
2. Goals are less important than plans and schedules.
3. Your opponent will never lie.

Just saw that while wifey was watching.
"Who likes surprises more than Japan... Pearl Harbor..."
He could have had more lead-up to the punch line.
Japan actually felt that they had done a shameful thing, attacking w/o warning. They had actually planned on dropping their declaration of war literally as the bombs were falling. See, see you were given 5 seconds warning....
For us it is a distinction w/o difference, for Japan it was a big dishonor, even as they were literally practicing catching babies with bayonettes in China.

When the waiter pulls him from his table to take a phone call, they all duck behind the bar while some Frog resistance fighters do a drive-by on the Nazis. With an MG42.
Setting up an armed resistance takes time. I'd reckon that it'll be at least a month before the Persian Resistance can get in full gear. Even with us Ugly Americans and Evil Joos blowing up every regime thug we can pin down.

There will be more that die, it is the nature of war and uprisings, some will die so that others may live. Harsh, unfair, and unpleasant and it often seems only the good truly die needlessly.
Before Roger Waters went nuts and totally anti semitic, in the album, the Final Cut, he wrote a haunting elegy "The Gunner's Dream" FWIW, his father died in at Anzio beachhead in Italy during WWII. Verse two is appropriate about what US forces are trying to do.
"A place to stay, Enough to eat
Somewhere old heroes shuffle safely down the street
Where you can speak out loud
About your doubts and fears
And what’s more, no-one ever disappears
You never hear their standard issue kicking in your door
You can relax on both sides of the tracks
And maniacs don’t blow holes in bandsmen by remote control
And everyone has recourse to the law
And no one kills the children anymore
No one kills the children anymore"

The theft of 400 high-end vehicles in Metro Detroit is a significant and alarming incident that highlights the vulnerabilities in the auto industry. The operation, which spanned from mid-2023 to mid-2025, involved the systematic collection and export of these vehicles to markets in the Middle East, where demand for luxury cars remains strong. The investigation revealed a sophisticated and organized scheme that operated quietly, with most owners unaware of the fate of their vehicles. The indictment of eight suspects involved in this international car theft and smuggling ring underscores the need for vigilance and prevention efforts to protect communities from such crimes.

No problem. But the you did voice concerns via your joke that others that are lurkers may be harboring. Wars are unsettling things and figuring out how to stick the landing (and our leaders cannot tell us what the plan in advance is because it a) depends on enemies not knowing exactly what it is, b) the enemy always gets a voice in these things).
Strategic ambiguity as to intentions of US and Israel allows space for maneuvers that unconditional surrender does not.

I might have had the new killer virus the news mentions! Like war, it is hell. I slept better last night so have more clarity vs mush brain.
Apparently on the "other blog" I ran off the raking leaf/saving bug woman simply by politely disagreeing with her. Weird. She's not a troll but I think I discovered why she's no longer married. I honestly did not mean to run her off in a snit. My powers are greater than I thought!
Another guy, who screams "neocon" about everything, stated that THIS WAR was influenced by THE SAME PEOPLE who advised GWB for Iraq. I asked politely who, then listed all the dead people like Cheney. He's the guy I argued with about Fuentes.
It's the podcasters, y'all! Like Levin (who I've never listened to). I politely told him no talking heads influence my vote, and I doubt Trump, and he said ok and that ended that.
My theory is that people have morphed GWB with Trump and that makes no sense to me.

All you do is make up reasons why Trump is a doo doo head for not forcing the military planners who have been war gaming action against Iran for 50 years to come up with a magical plan that would decapitate the mullahs and all of their supporters instantly while not harming Iranian citizens or the countries infrastructure so it wasn't a smoking ruin for the people to fix after the war is over.
We get it. You hate Trump.

Ever since the radical mullahs took over they've used that bottleneck to their advantage. I believe it was anticipated the Iranians would fuck with it. It's one reason we sunk almost every ship in their navy early in the war.
It's also, still, a highly contested space. Probably why the LHA Tripoli and the embarked aircraft, helicopters and Marines are heading to the area.

My son was in the Navy and while stationed in Sasebo, Japan he participated in joint exercises with our Asian allies. He was extremely impressed with the professionalism of his Japanese officer counterparts.
But exercises are fake and I think Japan realizes that their navy needs real world experience. They know they are being challenged by China. There are many strategic reasons to support a mission to open the Strait of America, or Hormuz as some call it.

The Morning Rant
No plan survives first contact with the enemy
Who said that is debatable, but it was probably von Moltke (or Clausewitz). But it is axiomatic, and the destruction of Iran's leadership has thrown the entire country into chaos, with its military response simply reactive, without any strategic goal other than to cause damage wherever it can. That is not a plan for victory. In addition to its military's lack of coordination, its justly feared internal security apparatus is able to detain or kill street protesters, but has lost central command, so there is very little intelligence being gathered on the growing rebellion. It is a recipe for disaster on all fronts, and regardless of whether the Mullahs can retain control, or the army or IRGC stages a coup, the days of Iran being a regional power and exporting its brand of Shia Islam terror across the world are over. And all of this was accomplished with superb human and technical intelligence, real-time military action on that intelligence, and amazingly accurate munitions that simply did not exist a generation ago. Imagine the beginning of World War II, If Great Britain had been able to kill Hitler and Göring and Himmler and Goebbels and Bormann and Keitel and Raeder and Donitz and von Ribbentrop and a few dozen others at the top of the Nazi hierarchy. Or far more chilling...imagine if in May 1940 Nazi Germany had killed Churchill and Bevin and Portal and Montgomery and Dowding and Slim. The counter-argument from the increasingly unhinged supporters of Iran is that martyrdom is a victory. Well, then in a few weeks when the entire hierarchy of the Iranian Mullahcracy is dead, we should declare victory for Iran! Then the people of Iran can reconstitute some semblance of a government, and we can leave, with the admonition: "Don't make us come back!" [Crossposted at CutJibNewsletter and X/Twitter]. If you folks who are on X/Twitter would follow us it would be much appreciated!

But the vast improvement in missile technology, coupled with the revolution in drones that allows surveillance in real time and almost instantaneous attacks, has shifted the paradigm. No longer are the leaders mostly safe from attack. And that has been used to great effect in Iran, with the top tier of leaders mostly killed, their replacements mostly killed, and even their replacements killed, or so far down the organizational command structure that their decisions are not yet considered important.
It also helps if your opponents are really, really stupid.

Their Chinese weapons don't work. Their navy and air force are little more than target practice. They apparently buy their drones from Target.

Depends on who you define as Iran.
The vast majority of people didn't support the Iranian leadership and now a good percentage of them are dead. Those that remain have managed to turn the rest of the GCC leadership firmly against them.
I don't see the mullah regime ever reconstituting again, at least not in the numbers to run Iran.

My concern last night (inb4 'concern trol!!1') was that Iran's leadership has some people in it who really believe that shiite about forcing the End Times to bring back the Mahdi (and Jesus, yeah, that guy). People like that don't care if Iran goes back to the Stone Age. They care about bringing everyone else to the Stone Age.

Do not fear. This thing will be over and the Left will be headlining something really stupid and pointless again in no time.
Trump has an epic understanding of timing as well as theater and also how to make things go your way.
This is the time to do this and he knew it. He also knows it will go far too well to keep the Left's attention and it will be over. Go by every other thing Trump has ever done except when he was pinned in by the covid election year surprise. This isn't that. He initiated this. The man doesn't take a dump without a plan.

I have seen that figure. Remember islam was imposed on Iran at swords' point by the muzzie arabs. Even if 80% of Iran is nominally muzzie, freeze the fuckers out of politics and power, completely. They simply are not civilized enough to run a country.
Incidentally, that should apply here, and in Canada, France, Britain, Germany, too. No political rights for muzzies. If they cannot vote, or hold office, or contribute to politcal parties, politicians wil not pander to them. If individual muzzies are agreeable to that status, let them stay. If they don't like it, let them decamp to the muzzie shithole of their choice.

That 37% is based almost entirely on the 2020 GAMAAN study. The data collection relied heavily on online, viral sampling, and snowball methods. It almost certainly oversampled younger, more online-savvy urban Iranians, who probably are more secular or at least think it's trendy to say so.
This would be like trying to get an accurate poll of political affilition in USA if you sampled mostly young hipsters in blue cities.
Do I think Iran is 99% Muslim, as the regime says? No. But it's way higher than 37%, IMO.

You're missing the weaponized drones flooding social media. Previously, the media would lie to the public, but avenues to influence large segments of the public were limited and controlled, and foreign influence especially had trouble infiltrating US mass media.
Now, with the explosion or unregulated social media, it's relatively easy for foreign actors and America-hating Americans to sow discord within the populace, and drastically skew perceptions of what is considered normal or acceptable by the populace.
There is non-stop nonsense posted about how Trump has no plan for the Iran war, how he was surprised by oil prices jumping, how Iran is winning (?), Trump is desperate for other nations to help BECAUSE he's losing, we have no exit strategy, we're pawns of Israel (and Putin, still, I think?), etc.
Sure, the people starting this conversation probably know it's BS, but millions of TDS afflicted retards (and bots) parrot it and spread it, and people start to believe it. It works.

We are at an inflection point.
The Iranian leadership had to make a decision for the past two weeks. Do we fight to the death or give up? They chose fight to the death.
Now they are all gone and we're starting to see the next layer make the calculation. And it appears the first and most important sign was the current President letting everyone know that he's not really in charge and pretty please with sugar on top, don't drone me bro.

Answer: you don't want any of them to have large scale control.
One of the things I saw a few weeks back was that a guy was saying that almost the entire Iranian Military (all structures) was replete not with actual military officers, but terrorists. He was speculating that this made it difficult to find one who would defect and then offer a positive military guy who could then hand the country off to the people or back the returned Shah or whatever.
I guess we are seeing if we can square that circle.

Inflection point? Perhaps. Taking out the leadership has always been a tactic so nothing particularly new there. The uses of long-range missiles and drones are also not new...think Germany's V-1s and V-2s, and Iran-Iraq in the 80's. But as mentioned above, the effectiveness of these systems when tied to immediate intel sensors is certainly a change in the TTPs of warfare. (Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures) We started this in Desert Storm and it worked remarkable well, with VII Corps Deep Attack Cell hit 2,616 targets in the 34 days of shooting. But the effects then, while significant, are nothing to what we are seeing today.
All that said, We cannot get too carried away yet. Still a lot of work to do. When I hear the Pentagon say they hit 200 targets, what that says to me they hit 200 aim points. Together, that may have been 50 "targets."
But no matter, if President Trump has shown us anything, it is he is the master of deception and he most certainy has a plan.

Guns vs missiles.
I wonder if the kickbacks on missiles is so much higher because they are one use, so a gun platform (A-10 is built around the gun but also carries missiles) is just no where near as sexy to the top brass.
Is the Apache still going? Just thinking about close air support gun platforms.

"Caspian strike marks first IDF hit on Iran-Russia supply lifeline"
Excerpt:
"Bandar Anzali is home to the main base of the Iranian Navy’s northern fleet, and the port plays a central role in the maritime trade route between Iran and Russia. Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the Caspian has become a key smuggling corridor: Iranian and Russian ships have routinely switched off their tracking systems and transferred cargo between the Iranian ports of Anzali and Amirabad and the Russian port of Astrakhan. Tehran has used the route to send Moscow drones, missiles, bullets and mortar shells for use against Ukraine."
