Claim: The Man Stealing the California Mayoral Election Previously Stole the 2004 Washington Gubernatorial Election
This article says he's done it before. He's very, very good at "discovering" votes in the 5th Quarter of an election, where Democrats really shine.The man who stole the governor's election in Washington state is now doing the same thing in Los Angeles. We had absolute criminals in charge of the Democratic Party in Washington in 2004. Ron Simms, as we all know, lied to my listeners and me on the air when he was chair of Sound Transit Board of Directors. But Ron Simms was also actively involved in, what I am convinced, was the biggest Democratic Party conspiracy in Washington's history. When people ask me why I'm so cynical about local government, it was that gubernatorial election of 2004 that is at the top of my list. What I saw was a Democratic Party that was as corrupt as any political machine has ever been. In case you need your memory refreshed, that was when Attorney General Christine Gregoire was running for governor against Republican candidate Dino Rossi. When they counted all the votes, Dino Rossi was the winner -- by 261 votes. Such a thin margin triggers an automatic recount. When they did the recount, they found some more Gregoire votes, but Rossi won again -- by 42 votes this time. And that is when the Democratic machine of Ron Simms, Christine Gregoire, and the head of King County Elections at the time, a guy named Dean Logan, got involved. What was revealed in subsequent lawsuits was remarkable. On the third recount, they miraculously found a few hundred more votes for Gregoire to steal away the governor's race. Apparently, there were 300 illegal votes, 400 more where the voter could not be verified, 240 felons who voted illegally, 44 votes from dead people, and 10 people who voted twice. When all of those votes were counted, the third time around, all of a sudden Christine Gregoire was the governor. Then and now, I think it was a Democratic Party criminal conspiracy. The guy spearheading this in King County was Dean Logan, who was finding uncounted ballots all over. He was absolutely amazing at finding Gregoire ballots in between counts.But is there any reason to believe he's "discovering' Votes for Basura or the communist carpetbagger? Well -- yes.
On election night, nobody was shocked that Pratt had closed the gap with Bass, just as nobody was surprised that Raman came in a distant third, as the polls suggested. But California doesn't have election nights. They have counting weeks, where vote totals change as batches of votes trickle in, and those batches show an amazing pattern: there are almost no votes for Spencer Pratt, which is nearly impossible statistically.
There is literally nothing California could do to make their elections less secure.

🇺🇸RealRobert🇺🇸Ron DeSantis is no fool:
@Real_RobN As long as they're counting ballots after Election Day in California, it only means one thing: Spencer Pratt and Steve Hilton are out of the runoffs for LA Mayor and Governor. In fact, Gavin Newsom confirmed it just two weeks ago. When asked about the possibility of ending up with two Republican candidates for governor and no Democrats, he said: We will have to topple the state government of California, and that is exactly what the Democrats are going to do. "We all have agencies. We can shape the future. I don't anticipate this being the case, but there is a 'break the glass scenario.' There are many people who have a deep understanding of what it would look like if Democrats were locked out, and we're going to do everything to make sure that doesn't happen. I'll leave it there."
California keeps dumping votes. Odds are shifting because the vote dumps always seem to go one way.

I want Trump's EO on mail in votes to go through, and I want states to set up separate election systems. The federal elections follow the EO. The state election systems are the same bullshit and obviously corrupt.
So, the states see federal representation shift hard to the right while state governance keeps lurching to the left.
Would be fascinating.

Posted by: Joe Mama
There is a difference, though. California was a territory occupied by the US military before it became a state. The normal progression was for new land, once conquered/purchased and occupied by US forces, to be given territorial status with its own legislature, and then admitted into statehood. California skipped the second step in the process.

Even if he misses 2nd place by one, single vote.
Because the entire CA judiciary will literally burn their entire constitution and every bit of precedent to prevent that.
There is no evidence they would ever consider even if they didn't dismiss all his cases for lack of standing.
You will find more honest judges in Sinola with a nickname "del Chapo," than you will in the entire state of California.

As I was telling Elric the other day, I really can't picture the first scenario. Leftie insiders are fiercely competitive, either because they're venal cynics fighting over a bigger slice of the grift (and they'd cut a bitch over a fiver found on the pavement), or because they're true believers in the ersatz cult of their politics-as-religion.
I can see the latter scenario, where everyone in the elections office agrees to just stop counting votes for Pratt, but I can't picture the Raman partisans stepping aside peacefully for Basura to win outright before it's over for their gal. They'd rather shed blood.

Last time, Bass got 3:00 AM ballot dump of suitcases full to get her the win, she was losing up to that point.
Christine Gregoire though, that was the first REALLY OBVIOUS fraud win for the Democrats, and established the principle that you keep recounting until the Democrat wins. Even the Seattle Times, super hard left Democrat tongue bather said the election was such a disaster that they should redo the entire thing... until they got a count that gave Gregoire the win, and they just announced she was the winner.

Keith Edwards, a Democrat Podcaster and Political Strategist Who Got Advance Word of the Eric Swalwell Sexual Assault Accusations, Now Says the NYT and WaPo Are Racing to Report That Graham Platner Sexually Assaulted "Multiple" Women
UPDATE! Graham Platner says there aren't any "credible" charges of sexual assault coming.
That's a very suspicious qualifier! Oh sure there may be some sexual assault charges coming, but trust me, no creeeeeeedible sexual assault charges!

3 Maine is a big early vote state. About 80% of all ballots in 2024 were early. Five days until the election. He probably has enough banked to win no matter what. And then they have to talk him out of running. Nepo-baby narcissist who sees polls that say he'll beat Collins. They're stuck with him, but watching Democrat aligned polls say he's going to lose in late June just to snap back to him winning in July when it's too late to replace him will be funny. In 2020, Collins didn't win a single poll in her senate race. She won by 8. Polls are suspect at best, but in Maine the assumption should be that they're just wrong. Posted by: TheJamesMadison, discovering British horror with Hammer FilmsI don't know-- if a candidate withdraws from a race, would votes for him be counted, or discarded?
* I use this same analysis of the "shape" of a story to discard bullshit conspiracy theories as bullshit -- if this is all real, why is there never any actual momentum to the story? Why is no supporting evidence ever adduced? Why does it perpetually remain at the same level of unconfirmed, anonymous claims? Why does it not heat up and catch fire? Living things move. Dead things just lay there.

They won't really nuke him.
Because they know there's a good chance he won't drop out. If they nuke him themselves, Democrats lose donations from the far left and lose the race anyway (Maine was never in reach with Collins running).
They'll end up leaving that to Collins to do herself come mid-July.

They may have decided it can't be covered up. So they're going to pretend to be truth-tellers, when they're really still just Democrat political operatives.
The media are rushing to get at the head of the parade, and will pretend they were there all along. They can't win, so they might as well attempt to bolster their credibility, but it's too late for that now.

Over the years, there had been uncomfortable moments, to be sure. I flinched when Joe said, at the White House press conference after the Hur Report was released, ‘The president of Mexico, Sisi, did not want to open the gate to allow humanitarian material to get in.’ He meant ‘the president of Egypt.’ The truth was that he was not performing as well as he had in his younger days. Did that disqualify him from being president, as long as he was still getting the job done? I didn’t think so, nor did the staff members who were spending far more time with him than I was.
The optimistic thinking was that enough voters would say, ‘Okay, he’s old, but he’s been doing a good job. There’s a young vice president. If during his second term he gets to the point where he needs to hand over power, the worst-case scenario would still be good.’
If you knew Joe Biden well, you’d know that if he actually got to the point where he wasn’t capable of doing the job, he would step down. Certainly, if he exhibited cognitive impairment, I would not hesitate to say so. His staff would not hesitate to say so. But he was nowhere near that point in the summer of 2024.

The thing is multiple people knew about this because I saw two different stories claiming that the nazi had some prior issues with a minor. I can't wrap my head around how the democrats thought this kind of stuff was not going to come out in a hotly contested campaign. This stuff is coming from the democrat side as far as I can see collins hasn't paid for a single negative campaign ad against him. Her team had to have known this stuff was out there and they were just waiting for it to explode.

And once you're on the ballot, your votes have to be counted, even if you withdraw.
Or: Candidate B withdraws. Candidate A, after the election, is disqualified. B would then be the winning candidate. So the votes all have to be counted.
Or: They also count the votes in uncontested races.

He was going on far left, non-establishment podcasts while the establishment was propping up Mills.
But Mills barely campaigned, is a thousand years old, and inspires no one while Platner says things like, "I knew exactly what my tattoo meant," "I hate Zionists," and "oligarchy". So, the Democrat base loves him.

Or is the GOP finally not shitting the bed and creating this monster themselves? I know, I know.
But if the GOP were to create the most repulsive Democrap candidate ever, it would be this guy. Platner is like a gay Serpentor created from poisonous ideology, toxic stupidity, and oozing body parts stolen from rando dumpsters in Tenderloin.
He's literally the PERFECT CANDIDATE ... for the GOP.
Posted by: Elric The Blade at June 04, 2026 03:22 PM (iFTx/)
Note well the sputtering and struggling of other Dems being unable to answer why they support him.
It's also a calculation that they have to sacrifice the ME seat--that's how bad the damage is becoming.
Because the Planter voters are going to see this as the party betraying them and refuse to show up for Mills in November.
Posted by: People's Hippo Voice at June 04, 2026 03:23 PM (73/SM)
Knowing only that flabby Platner showed off his NAZI death head chest tattoo until he got a ton of pushback about it, I'd say its over 50% odds that he has mis-treated, maybe full on assaulted multiple women. And even if some of these women going to the press now are 'RW operatives' the commiecrats wrote the rules about "seriousness of the charge, believe all women" yada yada.

I know it sounds like sarcasm, but I'm somewhat serious. Mills is going to return to the race, and her numbers are so bad that just removing Platner doesn't get them the win. They need something to shake it up and hurt Collins. They don't have a substantive campaign, so they need to denigrate the opponent. Remove Platner's stain from the Democrats and place if firmly on the Republicans. Platner will go along with it. He has nothing to lose.

I think the GOP is doing something similar to this in Montana.
The Democrat candidate has no support from national organizations and no money, but apparently the only money she gets is laundered from the GOP (allegedly). Democrats want her to drop out in favor of the independent Senate candidate instead (because the Democrat brand is so strong, dontchaknow).

So I have no inside information. But I have followed the news for most of my almost 29 years, and I know what a bombshell scandal looks like before it blows up.
---------
Platner appears a bit unusual as far as how much of a trail of alarming evidence he's been willing to litter his life with, his utter narcissism, and his lack of embarrassment and common sense. A high end achiever you might say, way out on one tail of the bell curve. If's a profile that many political types have, but he takes it further than average.
On the other hand, what is known about him so far is already pretty bad, and yet his candidacy is being promoted by Democrats anyway. If they haven't already dumped him, then what would it take?

Until to see how that helps the party, in or out of the state. He will never win the race on Maine with that platform. He’s already dissembling on a lot of it, because he knows it.
Meanwhile he’s dragging down the national party. He’s an easy target for the national GOP along with the Al Qaeda guy from NJ.

The comments section was even more amusing, however. Most of the lefties were in a tizzy about how regardless of what horrible things Maine Kampf had done, at least he wasn't Susan Collins, who had voted for Trump's nominees, which was somehow morally worse than, like, any heinous crime ever.
The minority of voices of reason (to the extent a lefty can be said to be reasonable, which is not much) were explaining that such bad behavior was indicative of poor judgement and lack of self-control, qualities you don't want in a Senator. But they were mostly shouted down by the "blue no matter who" loudmouths. "I don't care if he's an actual Nazi, if he votes against Trump, I want him in Congress!"
Then there were a few who predicted he'd turn out to be another Fetterman. Not that we'll find out; Platner political career is now surely dead as a coffin nail. At least he can keep selling oysters to his mom.

All is calm in my world for now. I was rested and ready for a rampage after a month of piled on stress after stress.
Seriously, though, a RN could tell this was crap treatment from reading the lab values, there is no way a PA or ARNP would not treat this sick baby girl for a UTI two days ago. AND the MD seems to be doing something weird with the portal lab values as she knows the baby's Nana is a nurse.
I am sure my girlie will be fine. She was better yesterday, bless her. She should not have been sick for two extra days due to either being an idiot pediatrician or over her head with a large pediatric practice plus teaching at a med school.
By the way. The most dangerous time for surgery or in patient care in university hospitals is this month when the interns become residents. It is pure chaos.

I get to talk all afternoon with experts in predatory birds. Interesting as hell. Most hawks and eagles, when being harrassed by crows will just fly straight up to a height that crows can't handle forcing them to peel off.

I always wanted to do that, but I move around too much for work. I think the guys plan will work though if it keeps the hawks away from the homestead.

Life is good. I haven't killed anyone yet today but it was dicey this morning for a murder ride across the valley and a national news scene at the university hospital. That woman does not know how lucky she is as she wears her stinking mask. I guess during covid she wore the whole deal with a plastic shield. Pathetic.

Also heard they went with Platner because he polls well with 18-34 year olds, who like to be communists in mom's basement. Its a group the Dems are trying to wrest back from Trump.

This is why Schumer recruited Mills.
There were stories months ago praising Schumer for his great recruitment for this cycle, and Mills was a major name in those stories.
And she dropped out of this race because after months of people knowing that Mills' opponent had a Nazi tattoo for 18 years, she was still trailing by 30-50 points in every poll.
The establishment has almost no control of its base anymore.

And then normal people looked at the women in that show and said "gosh aren't women terrible".
I wonder how many of the "women's socio-sexual behavior is terrible" studies are actually studies of gay men's behavior that is somehow being attributed to women.

I ate steak and shellfish four times a week for 20 years, and I eventually bought myself a case of raging gout.
I'm just a middle class jerkoff, but I stopped, and the gout is totally gone.

Democrat Ron Wyden Lisps Defamations at Scott Bessent So Scott Bessent Asks Him About Wyden's Son's Business Dealings With Jeffrey Epstein
Trump's Secretaries ate their Wheaties yesterday morning. They were accepting zero bullshit from the communist Nazi agents of foreign powers.
NEW: Democrat Senator Ron Wyden goes completely silent after Secretary Scott Bessent torched him for his son's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.
— Collin Rugg (@CollinRugg) June 3, 2026
Bessent: "Senator Wyden has mendaciously slandered the Treasury building in an attempt to cover up his son having an investment… pic.twitter.com/Ll9RZl4nZG
Catherine HerridgeHe asked a Congresswoman who the president during World War One was, and she could not answer. She said "I don't know." A congresswoman. Doesn't know. Who the President was. During World War One. You think that's stupid? Check out this retard who the Democrats think is smart enough to be a political leader and federal legislator.
@C__Herridge DIG DEEPER: After the clash between @SecScottBessent + @SenRonWyden
I ran "Adam Wyden" through the DOJ Epstein Files portal: 29 hits including this April 2016 "thank you email" via Epstein's assistant
Eric Daugherty
@EricLDaugh 48m 🚨 OMG. Secretary Bessent just BRUTALLY EMBARRASSED this RUDE Democrat congressman LARSON (D): Are you in favor of eliminating the gas tax?! BESSENT: We have moved to-- LARSON: --Are you IN FAVOR of ELIMINATING the gas tax?! Answer! BESSENT: Well if I'm NOT INTERRUPTED I CAN! LARSON: I'm waiting for your answer! BESSENT: We ASKED CONGRESS to eliminate the gas tax. That's done through statute. *Pause* LARSON: ...you moved that? You're in favor of eliminating the gas tax? BESSENT: We have ASKED for that. LARSON: You're in favor to eliminate the gas tax? BESSENT: AGAIN, the White House ASKED for it. LARSON: They have?! Why isn't it before the committee for a vote? BESSENT: I don't run the agenda. 😂💀 Clueless dolt!
He has no patience for flighty idiot Democrat women who seem to think that the Department of Treasury manages USAID, which is/was a State Department boondoggle. This is embarrassing. What would you say you do here, ladies? Marco Rubio was also not having any bullshit. Democrats repeatedly harrangued him and refused to let him answer. When he tried to answer, they would bark "I'm reclaiming my time" meaning "you do not have permission to speak, because I'm claiming the time you would need to answer." Rubio repeatedly asked: What the hell is this? A series of elderly eighth grade girls badgered him and would not let him answer. This c*** made a snide remark about his shoes, just to prove that she's a Serious Person who is definitely not in a state of Arrested Development at the lowest possible level of female maturation. At one point Rubio said, "I thought this was a hearing" -- you know, like a place where witnesses are heard. Nope! It's a place for Democrats to film pre-scripted "TikTok videos," as Rubio said:

Wyden looks like he has the slims or a car ran over his head several times.
I am currently on a rampage so beware. The professor of a university pediatric group did not put my 9mo old granddaughter on an antibiotic on Tuesday. Thankfully her own immune system has fought this UTI down. So now...NOW...one day after a premliminary culture that WOULD SHOW GROWTH...she's to start an antibiotic. And, oh, she'll need an ultrasound of her kidneys a couple of weeks after she finishes the antibiotic in the event it damaged her kidneys.
I may be an "olde" RN but I know what should have been done on Tuesday & "she was not concerned with her Ph being off the charts at 9, 1+ WBC, trace RBC, and cloudy." I said on Tuesday to DIL that that's weird. You are usually put on an antibiotic til cultures are complete & change med if needed.
Yes, they are getting a new pediatrician. One who, hopefully, does not still wear a mask years post covid.
Thankfully my lovely baby girl is not in the hospital with IV antibiotics for sepsis after a weekend of 101-102 temps.

And none of the Dems have any idea what to do once the script ends.
If I was Chair, every time a Dem says, "I reclaim my time" I'd respond "the request is denied, your time will be charged to the witness who will be permitted to complete their answer."
It's long past time that the Republican chairs of these committees stop letting them play these stupid games.

THEY ARE BUILDING THE EVIDENCE required to investigate, check, and remove allllll these corrupt mfers when we have a democratic congress in January 🙌 GET OUT AND VOTE!!
this is fùcking great. This will get under trump’s skin. It will turn him against Rubio and it’s forever a stain on Rubio.
"He calls me at 2AM, 5AM, he doesn't sleep!" Yeah. That's exactly why he sleeps during the middle of the day...
Rubio's lame attempts at gaslighting would never hold up in court. Perjury charges are ready to file once we regain power.
Congress has the ability to charge people with "Contempt of Congress". So they can do something. They just dont.

Rubio: I have never seen Trump fall asleep. Lieu: I’m going to show you a video that shows you just lied to congress. Here is a video of him asleep while you are talking.
Lieu knows what Rubio actually saw? How is that possible. He's got a camera implanted in Rubio's eye?

Remember, we're stupid for thinking that six states shutting down ballot counting in the middle of the night because of a water leak in Atlanta could mean something untoward was happening in election counting in 2020.
But they're going to take down the Trump administration because Trump closed his eyes during a meeting once.

In 2016, you pointed out that when Trump was going a little overboard, and he was, with his constant insults against the republican lineup in the primaries, that Rubio had some great rejoinders by reading Trumps tweets and putting them in a humorous context, yet that felt a little "frat boy" like, and you don't know how that holds up, because Cruz was your guy, he was mine too, Not anymore, I don't like Cruz as much as I used to.
I think that the direct conflict that rubio had with Trump was a GOOD thing, and that those interactions sharpened the nature of what we are seeing now.
I don't want a polished play nice egotistical technocrat anymore. I want a fighter with simple statements and balls that swing with a fury. Rubio is delivering that. Bessent is chilling in a chair with his fey smile giving everyone an opportunity to embarass themselves, and while Vance has been in the back ground, I'm curious as to what the strategy is with him. Is he like the Aide De Campe sitting in the room with the king learning all of the ins and outs while being largely silent, but at the same time having access to the machinations of the land that he will

Congress is not co-equal to the executive.
It's superior.
It can cut funding and eliminate departments. The presidency can't do anything close to that to Congress.
It's just that Congress decided a long time ago to cede its power, de facto, to the executive because it was easier.
It'd be interesting to see how governance in American would change if Congress cut a single department from the budget and appropriations if the executive cabinet official pissed them off.

Trump ran on mass deportations, and he's delivering. The past year has deported more people than any operation in American history. It is roughly 3x the size of Operation Wetback. His past rhetoric is now meaningless.
Rubio has only rhetoric. And he's an employee who serves at the will of the president in charge of the deportations.
What does he believe? What would he do if he wasn't just an employee?
These are questions I genuinely don't want the answers to. Because putting him in power over immigration would be flipping a coin.

I enjoyed watching the men beind Rubio.
I have always loved Marco Rubio and voted for him in FL for every election. He's smart, well spoken and a quiet assassin with words that hit the target.
He and Sec Bessent make me very happy.
Oh, my husband told me to "settle down" in my brief rampage earlier. I said I'm fine now, I needed a cathartic rid of anger. He said I need an antipsychotic and left in a hurry for stinking Walgreen's, who said they'd have the antibiotic for our girl. He then texted that of course it was not ready in an angry text tone (ha). I texted DIL and she said they'd have it ready. I then texted that Walgreen's lie.
We had ALL of our scripts transferred across the street to Walmart,where Rx is ready in one hour vs the chronic Walgreen's "out of stock." It's no wonder I am crazy.
You might be lucky to have a normal Walgreen's but we don't. They are understaffed nation wide and the pharmacist here will put you on hold then hang up the phone if you had a question. Or they decide they won't take your insurance.

Arguments about grasping what Putin really wants are the nut of the matter. Saying someone who disagrees with me isn't paying attention is just an ad hominem way of avoiding the argument.
An ad hominem is a logical fallacy in which a person attempts to disprove an opponent's argument by attacking the opponent's character, motive, or personal attributes, rather than addressing the substance of the claim itself.

Black Jurors Struck from Karmelo Anthony Murder Trial Because They Admit They Don't Want to Send a "Brother," Even a Murderer, to Jail
So are we all just now interested in nothing more than advancing the interests of our particular race?
Are you sure you want to do that? Because this current situation in which every race except whites gets to act ruthlessly and selfishly in its own tribal interests is unstable and will not last much longer.Potential jurors in the Karmelo Anthony trial said they couldn't imagine giving him life in prison or "putting a brother in jail" -- despite the heinous murder he is charged with. Prosecutors in Collin County, Texas, grilled candidates Monday on whether they would use Anthony's age, race, or likeness to their own children when deciding whether he killed fellow teen Austin Metcalf in cold blood. Attorneys for the 18-year-old defendant will try to convince the jury he feared for his life when he pulled a knife and stabbed Metcalf in the heart at a track meet in April 2025.If a white kid goes into a black space where he's not supposed to be and the black kids tell him to leave - is allowed to kill the black kids, claiming "black supremacy" as a justification? You'd better think about. This current system where you get the benefits of absolute tribalism and none of the drawbacks of it is only going to exist for another year. Lefists are boohoo whinin' and cryin' that black jurors were struck from the jury after openly admitting that they will not listen to evidence and cannot judge the defendant without racial or ideological bias.
"He looks like a child," several said in questioning relayed by WFAA, when asked if they could consider a life sentence for the teen, who has been charged with first-degree murder. "I don't think I can make a decision about somebody so young. One mistake, one argument, one conflict, you can't say he's a bad person," one potential juror told Assistant District Attorney Dewey Mitchell.
Dewey had to remind panelists that nobody would get "in trouble" for revealing their feelings about the hot-button case, which the Anthony family, who are black, claimed is a product of "white supremacy." Mitchell asked panelists how they feel about this statement: "I don't feel comfortable finding an African American male guilty of murder." "I don't know if I feel right putting a brother in jail," one candidate stated, according to WFAA. ... Meanwhile, a $600,000 grassroots fund for Anthony's legal fees continues to swell with new donations.

No black person who wants a shot at being a juror says anything like "I can't put a brother in jail." That's a guaranteed way to get kicked out of the prospective pool.
Same thing saying things like "he's too young, it's just one mistake."
This is jurors doing whatever jurors have to do to get off the case. I did the same thing the last time I was called for a jury panel. I said something like "This was a drug deal gone bad, right? Well, I don't think I could credit the testimony of a drug-dealing gangbanger like the defendant." The judge all but fell out of his chair.

Traditionally justice was meted out by groups.
So if the neighboring tribe killed one of yours, you were allowed, and expected really, to go kill one or more of theirs.
This is objectively not a good system as their is no objective way to determine guilt (maybe the killing that started it all was in fact justified) and people who've done nothing wrong end up getting punished.
But...if we step away from the notions of justice that Western civilization invented this is what we will go back to

I'm not talking about battlefields, I'm talking about prejuding cases and voting in the jury box for the white guy, no matter what. If that's the rule for thee, then that's the rule for me.
I don't think minorities are currently remembering what the word "minority" means, mathematically.
All "civil rights," the real ones and the fake ones, ultimately require a jury to agree there was a violation. We'll see how long people are willing to agree, given the extreme levels of racism in minority communities towards whites.

This is the same tribal horseshit we saw with the OJ trial and the Zimmerman trial. It translates to, "black people have a right to kill white people." There is no other interpretation possible.

The judge introduced the defendants and then asked the jury pool if there was anyone that could not serve.
Several people raised their hands and he talked with each individually but I could hear the discussion.
A couple people were related to the defendants or the cops that had arrested them and they were let go.
But a bunch of people gave dumb arguments like "I don't like cops" and he seated every single one of them on the jury. Punishing them for being flippant? Trying to get the defendants off? Who knows

This take makes sense to me. It's not like the average person is falling over themselves to rush to serve on a jury. Just about everyone complains about the inconvenience and tries to find some way of getting out if it. If a jury pool heard one person getting out of it in that fashion, the rest are simply going to follow. A judge isn't going to second-guess that one.
Posted by: Darrell Harris at June 04, 2026 01:24 PM (0CU3H)
Oh no, they do. And they believe, largely, that convictions, especially of black youths, are the product of racism not matter at the facts of the case are. It’s ultimately about who’d complete irresponsibility as parents, and the black communities general departure from traditional families with men as a stable head of houselhold.
So they dissemble into “it’s someone else’s fault” and wield that like a weapon every chance they get.

“…a jury of your peers” looks really suspect when the jury doesn’t reflect that.
proesecutors around the country are infamous for finding the most inane non-racist reasons to racistly strike black jurors from cases with black defendants
Unless you’re advocating for resegregation, these are very much his peers. There’s also a mix of Asians and Hispanics
It's the most obvious stand your ground case ever. He's coming home.
I hear you. This case is all about whether or not texas' "stand your ground laws" are for Black people too or if they're just for white people especially against Black folks.
Austin shouldn’t have put his hands on Karmelo to begin with. Sad reality is that if the roles were reversed and it was a skinny small white guy that was getting picked on by two black guys much larger than him, with the white kid saying “don’t touch me” after getting attacked by one of the much larger black guys twice before finally pulling a blade out to stab his attacker, your typical jury would find the white kid not guilty.
He killed a violent thug. The world is safer bc of Karmelo. Pretty easy self defense case.

Also: it's not true that black people won't convict black defendants. Of course they do. If they didn't, then no black defendant in any city accused of any crime would ever get convicted. Ever. 99.99% of juries in any city -- or indeed, most everywhere -- will have at least one black juror.

One key thing this sort of analysis misses, and you can see it in cases like Rittenhouse or Zimmerman is both were exposed to attack before they resorted to fatal force. Rittenhouse was chased by an armed mob and Zimmerman was being ground pounded by Martin.
If Karmelo was pushed to the ground and being beaten and drew a knife he'd have an argument for self defense. Someone pushing you out of a tent (which is what the two other guys were doing right?) isn't going to cut it.

If i was called for this jury, I don't think i'd want to be on it. This is a high profile case and the defendant is a favored minority; evidence against him is pretty strong which means people are going to dox the f*ck out of the jury if they find him guilty and try to tar them as railroading a poor young boy who dindoo nuffin.
Yeah, i'd probably say i couldn't take defense testimony seriously after seeing his parents buy houses and cars and sh*t with his defense money that was donated.

No black person who wants a shot at being a juror says anything like "I can't put a brother in jail." That's a guaranteed way to get kicked out of the prospective pool.
Same thing saying things like "he's too young, it's just one mistake."
This is jurors doing whatever jurors have to do to get off the case. I did the same thing the last time I was called for a jury panel.
Posted by: Elric The Blade at June 04, 2026 01:16 PM
Agreed.
But I also think the inverse is true.
A black person that does NOT want another black man in jail is going to lie to the court and get onto the jury to vote "not guilty" regardless of the evidence presented.
"Activist" jurors only go one way. Anti death penalty people will lie to get on juries and then will vote their activism. I am pro death penalty, but am not going to vote guilty on a person that appears innocent to me to support my ideologic basis of justice.

An equally repugnant and dangerous phenomenon - which is completely to be expected from a dumbed down low-civic IQ society - is the kangaroo politicized jury. Such as most in the DC Metro area now, or the lynch mob for Officer Chauvin in Mpls.
Doesn't break along racial/tribal lines. Though in a sense the dumbed down (usually "educated") urban/suburban types are a new tribe of their own (though overwhelmingly white).

Not any more. That was my first try. "Judge, I'm a lawyer and don't think it's a good idea to put me on the jury." Judge was having none of it.
Then I tried to get kicked off because we have some family friends who are cops and military. Judge still wasn't buying it.
So I unloaded nuclear bias on the defendant. (Which really wasn't bias, as this was clearly a drug deal that ended up with scumbag gangbangers shooting each other.) That was the final straw.

The Portland ICE facility is leased from a private owner.
The City of Portland hates ICE, so they are trying to fine the private owner for renting to ICE.
Portland's land use case against the owner has two charges - one, that ICE is holding some people for longer than allowed in the original city permit (debatable), and two:
"The city also determined that the owner’s decision to cover first floor windows with plywood after protests began last year violated city building code."
Hilarious - the city refuses to protect the building, and then wants to fine the owner for boarding up the windows. (There have been riots in front of the building for many months.)
Oh, and there's this:
"In this case, the attorneys pointed out that Koutras [the administrative law judge] sped up the appeals hearing process because of security concerns."
The "security concerns" being that Antifa has been threatening the city employees associated with this process, so they want to get the kangaroo court done as quickly as possible.
Amazingly, a Portland judge stepped in, said that the owner shouldn't be railroaded, and has delayed a decision in the case.

So the two young white jurors just couldn't pull the trigger - their laughably lame excuse was that if murder were intended, perps would have moved up to insure a kill at close range. Seriously.
Black women jurors were fantastic, and no-nonsense. In response to the lame white kids' claim, one blurted out "they shot him 13 times, what was that, a valentine??!". Hilarity ensued. Kids didn't budge. Prosecutors told us afterwards it was OK, conviction on 3 other counts got them what they needed. So along with the very real pathologies bear w/asymmetric balls noted above, many in the black community are sick of the s**t and strike out against it when they can. As is natural.

Unless the killer is an outsider they have no interest in finding him.
So if some kid tries selling drugs without getting approval first, or robs the wrong person, or hell is just in the wrong place at the wrong time the system will intentionally kill him.

This is called prejudice! Racism!
The United State of America is a melting pot of citizens working to prosper. As part of that unity, the citizens assimilate for that common cause. There can be no prejudice. Everyone is equal under an honest/equitable law (which we currently do not have).
Everyone has a right to a speedy trial. Our judicial and lawyer system slow walks cases for billable hours. That is a fundamental failure of the third leg of our government, the Justise Department. It is a scam on US citizens for their personal gain!

Sponge, being in fear for your life beyond a reasonable doubt is not is not in Texas law, as I recall. My concealed carry instructor, a former cop, a lawyer, and a Texas state representative who helped write the applicable laws, said reasonable fear, period. And reasonable fear of serious bodily injury, not only death, is a justifiable use of deadly force. He gave us several examples of such situations. The one I remember is someone coming at you with a container he says or is labeled corrosive acid. He said you will be justified in using deadly force to prevent this person from permanently permanently disabling you or disfiguring you.

Minimal. The case is too clearly against Carmelo. With Floyd, they had video of cops kneeling on the guy's neck for a long time, whining that he couldn't breathe (and well before all the body cams show that's what they ALWAYS say). There was at least some ambiguity on excessive force that could be leaned on to justify the rioting. This case? Doesn't have it.
Not that the Left is above lying about it, but there's too many witnesses and such to make that effective. Nope, the kid's going to jail for life, the Black community will be bitchy about it, but the Left-wing outrage machine will save their powder for a better opportunity.

In 2011, the Obama administration was confronted with the reality that they had reached too far and would lose power if 2010 repeated in 2012. So, they changed how government functioned.
Obama had been relatively decent on the border. But that changed in 2011. That's when they started the "border turnaways are deportations" game.
I think that's when Eric Holder et al decided that the only way forward was a mixture of sue and settle, outright corruption, and using federal grants to prop up their political party at the national level. They were never going to lose again. Chicago doesn't lose elections.
So, the party was put on a path of replacement and astroturf as their future until the people who rejected them were bred out. This actively pushed out key voting blocs, but it didn't matter because Broward County in FL could manufacture votes.
Until it couldn't.
And now, 15 years after it started down this path, the Democrat Party literally has no institutional knowledge of how to do politics other than that.

Chuck Martel: "Sign said no weapons allowed on the property. Next argument up - the knife doesn't qualify as a weapon."
Some years ago in Tarrant Co, I had jury duty. On my keychain was a tiny pocket knife with a 1.5" folding blade I hadn't even thought about. No serrations or curves - a simple, barely better than letter-opener quality edge. Guess what? Police officers said it was a weapon and denied my entrance into the courthouse. First screening, they missed it. Second screening - after some sort of break, I don't recall - I was denied reentry. I couldn't even throw it in the trashcan in front of them to show I/it wasn't a threat. So, another potential juror - apparently someone official and very familiar with the court who happened to be in the same jury pool - offered to take it outside the courthouse entry and place it "securely" under an outside bench that I could retrieve on the way home after the day's session was over.
If that's a deadly weapon in this County, then Anthony's attorney can get f'd. Tarrant and Collin counties are both in North Texas, practically neighbors.

John Bolton Reaches Deal to Plead Guilty to Mishandling Classified Documents
But wait I thought Trump was "weaponizing the DOJ to punish his enemies"?
No? Or is it more like, as Bolton said many times, "No one is above the law"?President Donald Trump's former national security adviser John Bolton is expected to plead guilty over mishandling classified documents, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News Thursday. Bolton could not immediately be reached for comment. The Department of Justice is declining to comment. Bolton is expected to plead guilty to one count of illegal retention of sensitive documents, sources familiar with the matter said. Sources told ABC News that Bolton has also agreed to pay a fine of more than $2 million. There is a rearraignment scheduled for June 26, which indicates it's intended for Bolton to plead guilty. The guilty plea would make Bolton thus far the only successful case that we've seen so far in Trump's campaign of retribution against those he perceives to be his political enemies.This is the Disney Groomer Corporation's Fake News service, ABC, by the way.
When John Bolton was indicted last October, he compared Trump to Stalin and said he was the "latest target in weaponizing the DOJ to charge those he deems his enemies."

In other words, a conspiracy was formed to accuse, charge, try and sentence people who were innocent, but political opponents of Democrats. It was underwritten by a Stalinist Media.
This is demonstrable and I challenge anyone to truthfully prove otherwise.
What this president and his administration has done thus far is to charge people who are guilty of actual crimes, that can be proven in a normal court of law. They are neither novel, nor political. They are criminal. Porn Stash Man just proved it.
That is the difference between Democrats kangaroo court and justice system used as a punitive weapon against the people, as opposed to a Republican court of law and a neutral justice system, fags.

First I need to get a tooth yanked, then an implant. I have a hooked root that will make things extra complicated.
Interesting thing, the surgeon who will take out the tooth is the son of the surgeon who took out my severely impacted wisdom teeth, way back when.
The Japanese are just starting human trials on regrowing teeth, but they are starting with people who did not develop baby teeth, or have them replaced with adult teeth. The trials should go through 2030, and I am not interested in waiting that long

Isn’t it funny how all the “adults in the room” from Trump’s first term now have criminal convictions, are career-less, and/or are registered as foreign agents while their previous boss, who has done all the things they have done, was elected to another term and has faced 0 consequences for his actions?
Pathetic indictment of the intelligence of that voter base and even more so our country’s law enforcement.
This particular persecution is bullshit, but I'm not gonna cry for someone who should be in the Hague for war crimes.
Bolton could have destroyed Trump's chances of reelection just like Pence, if they just talked about what happened in the administration when it still mattered. They both desperately wanted book deals and MAGA acceptance though.

Same with Hillary Clinton. They refused to prosecute because of lack of criminal "intent."
So, prosecuting (via a plea deal) of Bolton suggest he DID have criminal "intent". Therefore, that should have opened the door to many more potential felonies.
And, the kicker is that you do NOT have to show criminal "intent" in the mishandling of confidential files in order to prosecute the violation as has been done with many others not connected or in the public spotlight.

“I mean really, really low levels,” Chapman warned. “You can debate whether that’s going to hit, those really low levels, in two weeks or three weeks. Once you get to that point, then you’ll see price shoot up.”
This is a prediction. He's just saying that people can have different reads.
He's also talking about demand destruction in the future like it hasn't been going on for months.

"The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir is a memoir by John Bolton, who served as National Security Advisor for U.S. President Donald Trump from April 2018 to September 2019.[2][3] Bolton was reportedly paid an advance of $2 million by the publisher.[4]"
Posted by: Nova Local at June 04, 2026 12:18 PM (tOcjL)
One of the funnier aspects of Bolton's book is that there was a huge hullabaloo about Trump calling veterans 'suckers and losers'. Trump is still catching heck for supposedly making that statement. The thing is, Bolton was actually on the plane at the very time that Trump supposedly made that quote. You'd think that if Bolton heard that, it would not only have made his book but that he would have been the first to corroborate Jeffrey Goldberg's libelous accusation. The one that John Kelly supposedly heard.
To his credit, I believe that Bolton said he heard nothing of the sort from Trump.

Delay the final reckoning if nothing else. If I was the defense, I would have two strategies: (i) fill the jury with as many leftwing bleeding hearts as possible, which would include whites, and (ii) blow the thing up, hoping to persuade at least one juror and/or the judge.
Although the jury is all white, I don't think we know the sexes or backgrounds.

True.
But the oil journey is reminiscent of 2022, isn't it?
Massive disruption because of a new conflict. Huge increase in oil prices. No real fix in the region, but oil markets...found a way. All while Biden was still strangling US energy where it could.
That was 4 years ago, and Trump's admin is far more energy friendly than Biden's.

Some years ago in Tarrant Co, I had jury duty. On my keychain was a tiny pocket knife with a 1.5" folding blade I hadn't even thought about. No serrations or curves - a simple, barely better than letter-opener quality edge. Guess what? Police officers said it was a weapon and denied my entrance into the courthouse. First screening, they missed it. Second screening - after some sort of break, I don't recall - I was denied reentry I couldn't even throw it in the trashcan in front of them to show I/it wasn't a threat. So, another potential juror - apparently someone official and very familiar with the court who happened to be in the same jury pool - offered to take it outside the courthouse entry and place it "securely" under an outside bench that I could retrieve on the way home after the day's session was over.
If that's a deadly weapon in this County, then Anthony's attorney can get f'd.

The Morning Rant
“We’re seeing a combination of trying to reopen the Strait [of Hormuz] while simultaneously recognizing that there are going to be alternative routes to get oil and gas to market, including expanding production in new places and expanding production in the United States,” Caleb Jasso, policy expert at the Institute for Energy Research, told The Epoch Times. “The world as a whole is really reevaluating global energy supply chains and the need for a greater level of diversification.” Thus far, however, America’s oil industry has remained cautious, holding off on major new investments and focusing instead on increasing output from existing wells. The combined number of oil and gas rigs operating in the United States declined from more than 700 in May 2023 to 558 today, according to Baker Hughes, an industry analytics firm. And while the oil rig count has increased from 410 at the beginning of this year to 429 as of May 29, most producers remain reluctant to pour significant money into new wells.Capital intensive industries like petroleum (and semiconductors!) cannot function efficiently on a four-year political timeline. Global markets cannot function efficiently, or sometimes at all on those timelines, when freedom to conduct commerce across the globe is held hostage to the political winds in Washington or Peking or Tehran. It is very easy to throw up one's hands and say, "Let's just get the hell out of the Middle East!" And based on the less than stellar outcomes of our adventures of the past 25 years, that is a rational thing. Nation BuildingTM has been thoroughly discredited, and has, hopefully, been thrown into the dustbin of history, at least until the next president with delusions of grandeur and no common sense decides that Shitcanistan must become a Jeffersonian Democracy, and uses our blood and treasure! And the current situation in the Strait of Hormuz is in all probability a temporary dislocation, as the world scrambles to find alternative methods of transport. But there is another Strait of Hormuz lurking out there, and another after that one. Even if we fix the issue of a chaotic regulatory landscape and give the economy freedom to plan past the next election, trade routes that can be closed at the whim of despots or 7th century savages is an issue that will never go away. President Trump's actions against Iran may be politically difficult, but there is no looming occupation of Iran, and the goal of denying the Mad Mullahs and their IRGC handlers a nuclear weapon is unequivocally good. That he is simultaneously degrading their ability to affect global commerce is also an unalloyed good. Now if we can only get Congress to get off its collective ass and do something about the regulatory miasma!

The American consumer got used to $5+ gas during the Biden Apocalypse. Why should anyone in Big Oil do anything to lower it? It doesn't help that despite all the "branded" gas stations and oils, the reality is the entire industry is controlled by only a few megaliths.
Same with almost every business and industry in the post-Covid, post-Biden era. Customers got used to high prices and shitty service. So industries have little incentive to lower prices and/or improve service.
Sure, every once in a while there will be a revolt -- Cracker Barrel, for example -- but on the whole customers have accepted higher prices and shittier service.

Not really, it's a pretty big event, and even paying full freight at IPO is potentially a bargain.
As an example, google hit the street at 85 a share in 2002, which is roughly 150.00 adjusted for inflation.
15k invested in google at it's IPO would be roughly 2.5 million dollars today accounting for DR and splits.

And to pacify the muslims they both added into their constitutions that sharia was the winner whenever there was a conflict between everything else the constitutions said and sharia. Which means they immediately had a sharia dominated system and I knew everything had been in vain (other than killing a lot of their guys there instead of here, which isn't nothing but still not the win I'd hoped for).

So, they are sittting there like big targets unable to actually do the job we want them to do, but also unable to go home and be with the ones they love.

As I understand it, for Congress to end action against Iran under the War Powers Act, a 2/3 majority in both houses would be required to overcome a presidential veto. And the 60 day limit for hostilities can be dealt with by a pause that resets the time.
The resolutions at this point are political and performative, and have the effects of signaling virtue, opposing Trump, reassuring the current leadership of Iran that time is on their side.

I'm all for playing tit for tat and getting our shit together here at home.
Iranians have played the waiting game for a long time and are masters. The US, not so much. We demonstrate this over and over again to the world.

>There may not be 'A' winning solution. This is a 'rinse and repeat' situation. It is foolish to believe we can put 'boots on the ground' to solve anything, unless we want the treasure.
This is about attrition. Let the global 'community' determine the trajectory of global commerce.

We are not being told the whole picture regarding the petroleum market intentionally. The 'Straits of Hormuz' predominately does not supply the U.S, with oil. The U.S. has a surplus of oil production. Because of that supply and demand, domestic fuel prices should have dropped! Why not? The media is playing us for fools! Our oil companies can get a higher price from foreign demand than domestically. Therefore the domestic supply is less which raises the domestic price. Our U.S. oil production demand is global, not domestic. Which is why The Straits of Hormuz affects us here in the U.S..

On April 26, 1806, Pedro Pifiero, a notorious and much feared bandit, escaped over a 44-foot wall from the Spanish arsenal of Cartagena, where he had been held originally under sentence of death. Roaming the countryside and once again stealing from both the rich and the poor, this el Maragato, as he was called after his birthplace in the mountains of the Maragatexia, turned up on June 10 at the home of a forest worker in the Verdugal. Holding him, his wife and three children, and two other men at gunpoint, he calmly helped himself to the family's dinner. Having eaten "very slowly and with much coolness and serenity of mind," the bandit then ordered the worker to saddle a fresh horse, which he loaded with two guns he had acquired in previous robberies...(cont)

The paintings are in the Art Institute of Chicago. Each one is small, perhaps a square foot in area, and Goya dashed them off in response to the event which was widely talked about. Together, depict the incident serially, much like a comic strip: The bandit brandishes his gun; the friar arrives; the friar and the bandit struggle over the gun; the friar disarms the bandit; the friar shoots the bandit; and the friar ties the hands of the bleeding bandit.

“Buy a shotgun, buy a shotgun,” the vice president encouraged those worried about defending themselves. He was speaking in an online video as part of a Facebook town hall hosted by Parents Magazine on the administration’s strategy for reducing gun violence, which he has led at the direction of President Barack Obama.
Biden said he keeps two shotguns and shells locked up at home and he’s told his wife, Jill, to use them if she needs protection. He presumably was speaking about before he became vice president, a position that gives the couple full-time Secret Service protection.
“I said, ‘Jill, if there’s ever a problem, just walk out on the balcony ... take that double-barrel shotgun and fire two blasts outside the house,’” Biden said. “You don’t need an AR-15. It’s harder to aim, it’s harder to use and in fact, you don’t need 30 rounds to protect yourself.”

Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes
I didn't read all above to see if anyone quoted the ending of the piece so it's here:
This narrative series stands in marked contrast to the portraits of royalty and nobility that make up much of Goya’s painted works. His other small-format paintings similarly treat traditional pastimes, superstitions, and scenes from daily life with a popular realism that is often darkly comic in tone. Goya may have created the El Maragato series for his own amusement rather than as a commission, since they were still listed among his possessions in an 1812 inventory.
And as above, (44. It's one in a series of 6 paintings on the event... Posted by: jim (in Kalifornia), it is and all six in the series can be viewed on Art Institute Chicago artworks website in the 'Friar Pedro Shoots El Maragato as His Horse Runs Off' link.
Don't know if I'd hang all in the series or even this one lone painting, but it's an interesting & fun lesson in art.
thanks

You just need the right lens to see it through. Shirley MacLaine was described by the director as "It's hard to feel any great warmth to her. She's too unfeminine and has too much balls. She's very, very hard." Sounds like the perfect candidate for a "modern audience" remake. Especially during Pride month! Is Elliot Page available!?!?!

The DOJ needs to sue California to end their so-called "jungle primary" system, at least for Federal offices. The Constitution grants Congress the authority to set the date for Federal elections. This "jungle primary" might be a primary in name but in practice it's the actual election while the November election is turned into a run-off.
Now this wouldn't affect state and municipal elections but this would be a freakin' start.

The friar cleverly outmaneuvered the bandit: he seized El Maragato’s rifle, shot him (in the thigh or buttocks, depending on accounts), subdued him further, and tied him up until authorities arrived. The story became a sensation across Spain, spreading through newspapers, pamphlets, ballads, prints, poems, and songs as a tale of an underdog hero triumphing over a villain.

The Morning Report — 6/ 4 /26
Based on the events that have taken place in Britain in the past 24 hours, this technique does not appear to be as effective anymore. For the first time in memory, white people are organizing in the streets — in large numbers — to advance their own interests. They saw what happened to first-year university student Henry Nowak, who was butchered in the street by a foreigner — like so many other innocent whites living in Britain. They saw how the police handcuffed Nowak and mocked him as the life drained from his body, all because the murderous barbarian claimed that Nowak had been “racist.” They saw how the police in Britain will strip you of your rights and your dignity if they believe you harbor any resentment whatsoever towards the foreign hordes who are destroying your country. They saw how the killer’s family conspired to hide the evidence and concoct a false claim of self-defense — without any remorse whatsoever, only tribal loyalty. And having seen all of this — just the latest in a long string of executions, systemic injustice and humiliation that whites have been forced to endure in Britain for the past several decades — the indigenous people of the UK are finally rising up. They are taking back their own country.Well whether that last assertion is true is debatable, but the protests over this as well as that of the Islamic rape gangs are, and the reaction from the powers that be in now going after anyone who dares stand up and speak out is naked tyranny. This is England in 2026, the nation that stood up to Hitler and gave us Magna Carta is teetering on the precipice of that New Dark Age that Churchill warned about, but instead of Hitler and the Nazis it will be homegrown self-hating Britons and the foreign-born masses they let in and subsume them that pushes them over the edge into the abyss.
Public outrage in Britain is rising after the release of harrowing police bodycam footage in the stabbing and subsequent arrest of Henry Nowak, an 18-year-old university student who was killed December 3, 2025 in Southampton, England, by a 23-year-old Sikh man named Vickrum Digwa. The circumstances of Nowak’s murder almost defy belief. On their own, they would be enough to send Britain into a spiral of race riots and civil unrest — if Nowak had not been white, and if his killer had not been Indian. As it is, the murder of Henry Nowak will probably not trigger the kind of rioting that George Floyd’s death did in the United States. But it does perfectly illustrate the logic of Black Lives Matter: racial minorities are to be believed and preferred, white people are not — even in cases where whites are the victims of violent crimes. When police arrived on the scene, he lied, telling them Nowak had called him a racist slur, which is a crime in Britain, owing to that country’s lack of anything like a First Amendment. So the police arrested Nowak, not Digwa, even as Nowak pleaded for medical aid, saying he had been stabbed. He told the officers he couldn’t breathe. He said this nine times, and four times he told them he had been stabbed...Instead of helping the victim of a violent attack, the police automatically believed Digwa. Why? Because he’s a racial minority and Nowak was white. The presumption of guilt and innocence, as far as the police were concerned, was determined entirely on the basis of race. The white boy must be guilty, the Sikh man must be the victim... On and on it goes, including the recent case of a Muslim man who called for the beheading of Jews but was released on bail, while white Britons who complained about him were arrested for posting about it on social media. ..This kind of thing has gotten out of hand in Britain, but the impulse to adopt racial preferences is actually an import to Britain from America. One of the odd and disturbing features of modern Britain is the extent to which they have adopted the racial narratives and in-group grievances of the American left — a paradigm wholly unsuited to British culture and history.And speaking of this side of the pond and this kind of madness
. . . here are are again. Rick Chow, a 61-year-old Chinese store owner, shot an armed teenager he suspected of stealing from his store while defending his son. After a trial, a jury found him not guilty which means that BLMers are doing their “No justice, no peace” and threatening race riots down in South Carolina. That also means it’s a national news story why, because, well I’ll let CNN tell it, “Chow, 61, who is Asian, shot Cyrus Carmack-Belton in the back after chasing him from his convenience store in Columbia, but maintained he acted to defend his son. The killing sent waves of anguish and grief through the African American community in Richland County, where nearly half the population is Black.” It’s very vital to spell out that Chow… is Asian. We’ve gotten used to the addition of ‘Black’ or ‘White’, to stories, but now Asians get the same treatment.In 1992 we cheered on the Rooftop Koreans of Los Angeles who defended themselves from the bloodthirsty savages who were out for blood, to avenge the death of Rodney King. Hopefully there will be rooftop Chinese in Columbia. While the deaths of Rodney King and Carmack-Belton were and are questionable. The reaction to the former and potential reaction to the latter were and will be inexcusable, regardless of the narratives put forth by the usual suspects in the race-hustler/divide-and-conquer complex. With that, you have to admire the cojones of at least some in the Duluth GOP and it too perhaps gives hope that, to coin a phrase that usually brings forth vomitus, decent people are at long last speaking truth to power, the consequences be damned.
Minnesota Republican Party delegates held a brief moment of silence for Derek Chauvin during their state convention in Duluth, and the expected outrage arrived right on schedule. "The audacity of the Minnesota Republican Party to honor an individual who has both been convicted by a jury of his peers for the murder of a fellow human being, while at the same time violated a professional oath to protect and serve his community, is disgusting," Floyd family attorneys Ben Crump and Antonio Romanucci wrote Tuesday in a statement, according to The Hill. The attorneys demanded that state GOP leaders "issue an immediate retraction of this immoral act and issue an apology to the family of George Floyd and to the people of Minnesota that they serve." . . . George Floyd, as we remember, died on May 25, 2020, after Minneapolis police responded to a call about a counterfeit $20 bill. The Hennepin County Medical Examiner ruled the death a homicide and listed the cause as cardiopulmonary arrest complicating law restraint and neck compression. The same official report also listed arteriosclerotic and hypertensive heart disease, fentanyl intoxication, and recent meth use as significant conditions. We're led to believe such an official report from a medical examiner, especially after so many people were fatally shot, yet during COVID, the bullets didn't kill them — the virus did. Derek Chauvin was convicted of second-degree murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter, receiving a 22-1/2-year state sentence and later receiving a concurrent 21-year federal sentence after pleading guilty to civil rights violations.Chauvin is every bit on the same level as an Alfred Dreyfus, Alexander Solzhenitsyn, and to shove it in the face of the Left Nelson Mandela! If there is a God in Heaven, Ben Crump and his ilk will soon be standing before Him awaiting eternal damnation. On the one hand, I cannot see Derek Chauvin being exonerated and freed from the Minnesota Gulag but at least Mumia Abu Jamal is still rotting in prison long after I expected him to be unleashed on us by Josh Shapiro. Funny how conservatives don't cause massive riots whenever real injustice, and not the fictional variety, is unleashed on us. If we were to add up all the depredations, indignities and injustices we have suffered at the hands of Leftists and their ilk lo these many years, there would be nothing left but dust and ashes if we reacted even to a minimal degree what the BLM/Antifa/SOROS goon squads were bought and paid to do. Lord help them should the day come when we finally say enough is enough.
Have a great day,

Perfect...a good way to kill millions of people via malnutrition. Do they plan to be racists and release it in the black, yellow, and brown populations, or just for the whites?
And what about predators? Bears, wolves, and others won't be able to eat deer and mice, causing the spread of disease like the plague (pun intended).

Larry Bird's first NBA rival was Doctor J.
Julius Erving was short and ignored when he started at UMass. Then he grew and his skill at dunking defined the Black style of basketball, perfected in the ABA, which he joined because his family needed money.
His streetball exploits at Rucker Park in Harlem were the stuff of legend, where hundreds would watch from neighboring rooftops. He was the most entertaining player ever, until Bird came along.
Bird was born a poor black child and played like one. When he came into the league, Doctor J was in his twilight playing with the Sixers. While Larry might see Magic twice in the regular season, the Celtics and Sixers were in the same division and had to play through the other to get to the Finals -- four times! And Bird and Erving guarded each other!
What they shared was a pure love of the game.

Theyre just white nationalists.

TN has passed bills to:
- ban "zucker-bucks" and similar
- allowing election officials a portal to access SAVE - Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements - to verify voter registration.
- constitutional amendment to limit voting at all level to US citizens
Only took them 6 years ....
So, when you look at the long, hard slog to extract RINO ticks from the state level, you can see just what they were blocking and why the work is so important.
Every red state should have or be passing a bundle of bills that mirrors the federal SAVE Act.

I’m on the record as being against the pause in combat operations. I still believe that and posit that we would have gained more faster had that not been done. But I’m willing to listen to other opinions who believe, at least partially, the pause allowed things to develop more positively. I still ultimately doubt the IRGC will step away from terrorist ops.

Or, optionally, write a dissertation about how Plato was an Evil White Man (although perhaps not exclusively heterosexual) who stole all his philosophy from an enslaved member of the MbambiJambi tribe.
Seriously there was some retard a few years back who claimed that Aristotle stole all his stuff from African sources in the Library of Alexandria, blithely ignoring that Aristotle was Alexander the Great's tutor when Alexander was a boy, and Alexander founded Alexandria as an adult.

The NY state Legislature has now passed Senate Bill 9316, and if Hochul signs it, New York law will replace the terms “mother” and “father” with so-called gender-neutral alternatives.
Under the bill, mothers become “gestating parents.”
Fathers become "non-gestating parents."

Interestingly Britain has a very poor history of this
Boudica rose up against the Romans...and failed
The Roman-Britain to the Angles and Saxons
The Anglo-saxons lost to the Normans.
And frankly it looks like British of Churchill's time have lost to the South Asian invasion already.

Police bodycam YouTube channels have done incredible damage to the Dindu Nuffin Industrial Complex. It’s so consistent it’s like there’s a script: regardless of age they all want their phone to call their mama, they can’t breathe, and they say “I’m not resisting” while throwing punches at the police.

Its almost comical.
Everyone assumed bodycams would show mass bad activity from cops. And not that it hasn't shown any, but it has mostly shown bad activity from people interacting with the cops.
I've been watching some videos based on bodycams where the guy has actually animated them and the number of people that talk themselves into being arrested is amazing.
One case in point...guy is leaving a bar. Cop is called to a bar goes to the drunk guy stumbling to his car and says "hey you are drunk, call a cab don't get in your car." Drunk guy tells the cop to fuck off and gets in his car. Cop tries to arrest him, and the guy resists.
So instead of paying $20 for a cab/uber he's going to pay thousands and probably get a short stint in jail.

Growing up in the 50's, my parents always had at least a month's worth of food in the house. Included canned goods, rice, flour (if mom decided to bake), etc. I carried over that same habit. But, in my neighborhood back then, most people were first generation from Eastern European parents who were very self sufficient. City people didn't have a clue. They shopped every day for just the item they wanted for dinner on that day. My Hungarian mom couldn't comprehend that behavior. We were always prepared.

If any of you pro lifers get tape worms you better suck it up and be a good host, because tape worms have a heartbeat and feel pain. It deserves a choice and it chose you to be its mother.
Your own baby = random tapeworm

Daily Tech News 4 June 2026
Top Story
- Apple's MacBook Neo is selling so well the company has doubled production. (MacRumors)
At that rate they'll run out of bad chips and have to start using good ones, but economies of scale may make up for it.
Also the company is reportedly working on a 12GB model for next year. If they can hit the same price that will offer a worthwhile bump in capabilities; 8GB is a bit restrictive even on a Mac.
Tech News
- Another Arm-based computer with 8GB of RAM is Radxa's new Dragon Q8B. (Liliputing)
It's a single-board computer for embedded projects like the Raspberry Pi. With an MSRP of $209 for the 8GB model, it's 60% more expensive, but it's also 60% faster for single-threaded tasks, and 200% faster for multi-threaded workloads. You can get models up to 32GB, but it becomes distinctly uncheap at that point.
- A new DOS attack can cause most fully-patched web servers to run out of memory in under a minute. (Bleeping Computer)
Well, that's just great.
- Are AI models conscious? (The Atlantic) (archive site)
No.
Why?
Because I said so.
Well, that settles it then.
- Google has released a version of its Gemma LLM that you can run locally on any PC. (Twitter)
If you have a 16GB graphics card. 5070 owners can wail and gnash their teeth I guess.

Some years ago it was briefly popular to play games with your phone’s predictive-text feature; you would type an initial phrase and then repeatedly choose the middle option of the three words suggested by your phone, and the resulting sentence was often hilarious.
I can see why that was popular so briefly.

Big black Stirling is sprawled on the carpet near the bookcases. I checked the closets and little Dagny had not been shut into them; so I called her, and darned if she didn't trot out from the bedroom window where she likes to sit.
The new place doesn't have window sills like this, I think. I'll buy one of those cat seats, the kind that you hook to the window base and prop up with legs against the wall beneath, for them to sit and look out of one window.

I don't think I've seen a low of 55 in June here since, like, ever.
Read some articles a month or so ago claiming we'd see a cooler, wetter, summer here in SC (and the rest of the South) due to the El Nino forming in the Pacific, and it looks like the weather 'experts' might actually be correct here.
I hope so.
80s & 90s, with more rain, sure beats 90s and 100s and drought for summer.
An active El Nino usually means less hurricanes hitting the east coast & Gulf, so that's a bonus.

The city SPCA is right there on this side of the river near the bridge. If you surrender an animal that's yours, there's a charge, but it's free to bring in a found animal. The subhumans simply couldn't be bothered to drive a little farther.

Funny story about that. Asmongold was testing out a theory on AI. He told the program (Which had a female voice at the time) to count to one million. The AI argued with him and he said "I bet you wouldn't challenge me if you had a male voice."
He cut it off mid-conversation and changed the AI to male and asked the same question. It immediately began to count.

My first cat I rescued from a roadside rest area where she had survived by scrounging through the trash cans there. A calico, I somehow got her to come near me and I put her in the back of my hatchback. We drove the hour to the home of the future Mrs. KvC, where she met the kids and became our companion for the next eight years or so. A badass hunter and a goofball at the same time, she was. I slept beside her on last night with me, sleeping on the floor, before the vet came over to put her down.

She and our other rescue, a sweet but dumb tom, would take turns tormenting each other by swatting the swinging flap of the pet door to the outside when the other cat was trying to come back inside. I don't think either one realized who was slapping on the door (they couldn't see, as it was made of opaque plastic). That form of fun and games lasted until two wild raccoons found the door and began plundering the kitties' food and water in their sun room home, after which I had to take down the door.

This Independence Day will mark fifty years since a high school friend and I were hiking in the Presidential Range on New Hampshire and we crossed over the peak of Mt. Washington while hiking the Appalachian Trail.
At camp that evening, we and others in the campsite watched the little brilliant coloured flowers from fireworks displays in the towns to the north and west below us. The displays were far enough away that there was no sound to be heard accompanying them. A very cool experience, that was.

Pants are optional but why would you be wearing pants for the ONT? Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors. This is a Tucker, Candace, Megyn and Bill Kristol free zone. Please. I know what you're thinking. "I've been sitting here all evening in my underwear tearing through a bag of blue ranch Doritos contemplating the mysteries of life. There's crap on television and only cat videos on the internet. If only there was a place on the interweb that was an oasis of sorts. If only there was a place where the eccentric and eclectic gathered and Truth, Justice and the American Way still led from the front. I've got Dorito crumbs everywhere and my glass is almost empty but still...if only there was some overnight thread where the irreverent and insightful blend their collective wisdom and keep vigil to ensure the flames of freedom remain lit..."Anyway. [Top photo: Live Free or Die. For reasons.]

FUN FACT: If you special-ordered a Mercedes before 2019 MB would host you in Stuttgart to take delivery of your new car. A factory tour and entry to the MB museum were included, and you'd get 7% off the MSRP.

There is also an air museum at the old blimp hangar South of town, and if you go in August 5-8 that is the county fair, which I think is one of the best county fairs in Oregon.
Then you could also drive down to Cannon Beach and look at Haystack rock, and Seaside is worth a look.

One of the best things about our move to Idaho is that the Oregon coast is one long day drive away. Perfect for a three or four day weekend. Memorial Day weekend we were in Newport, and had a great lunch on the wharf, and watched the sea lions yelling at one another for the best spot to sun themselves.
We are already planning future trips: okay, next time we got to Bandon, then Cannon Beach, etc...

I pray it won't happen, but if it does, that might be the proverbial straw. The vast majority of Oregon folks are just regular folks. Ranchers, farmers, hunters, fishermen. much like Colorado, the rot is in small areas, Portland, Salem, Eugene, Astoria. Central and eastern Oregon, in particular, want to become part of Greater Idaho.

Speaking of meteor craters, in 2029 asteroid Aphophis will come within GSO distance of earth (20K miles). Uncertainty in trajectory is now down to a couple km, and JPL assures no chance of impact in the next 100 years.
If Apophis hit, it would be around 2 GT, ~40 Tsar Bombas. That would be a region killer, but not a dino-killer global extinction event (although it would be a bitch for survivors for a while).

I grew up in Cody. Every year, before Memorial Day, they would have a free day for locals. I loved hanging out for the day. I would browse the firearms and such, but spent most of my time in the art gallery. So many C.M. Russell and Fredric Remington, and so many more artists. They had a whole aisle of Russell letters to friends and family, and he would include quick watercolor sketches along the margins. Even his letters were works of art.

I think that measure is an op so Tina Kotek can oppose and save us all if we vote for her. I think she already said she would veto it if it somehow passes. The thing is conservatives Ed Diehl, Chris Dudley, and Christine Drazan will definitely veto this measure and they aren't buddies with crazy activists that wrote it and forged a bunch of signatures like Tina Kotek is.

The Ukrainians have been using drones to strike deeper into Russia, with the latest attacks hitting St. Petersburg.
The Russians continue to hammer them with drones and missiles, while very, very slowly advancing on the ground.
The Russians continue to hope the Ukrainians will finally collapse, and the Ukrainians continue to hope the war will spread and Europe will rescue them.
Meanwhile, the Iranians are taking notes.

There's a possibility that Apophis will fragment due to tidal forces when it gets so close. And you might wonder if that would alter things enough to make a future impact likely. However, JPL and the boys assure us that a fragmentation still won't thread any keyholes.

In the recent progression of confusing days since the near cholera, this is progress as at least I am moving forward vs thinking it was Monday.
The good news is our baby girl, without the help of her highly respected pediatrician professor (who still wears a mask I was told), has decided to be cured on her own without her stinking doctor's help.
In Ace's Cafe I realized the confusion when I wished him a happy weekend. I mean, he could take off two days with my permission now. You all could.

I was a teenager when it was built. My friends and I had marvelous times exploring. It's two miles from the house but I haven't been in this century except for a few dedications. My uncle's name is on the wall there dedicated to all who worked on the Saturn V and made notable contributions to the Space program.
OTOH, I have been to the National Naval Aviation Museum, Pensacola, FL many times until I lost the ability to walk without assistance. I took thousands of photographs knowing I'd never get to see them again if I didn't.
The National Museum of the Air Force, Dayton, OH can be viewed online in 3D although it is on my bucket list.
Also, FWIW, I worked on testing the Space Shuttle at all of the test stands as a subcontractor for Bendix Aerospace in the late 80's. It was an interesting time seeing the interior of the SRB and working around the External Tank, they were huge.

I can't decide if this is a phobia I've had for years or what, but if there's a mole I am focused on it with tv people. Thankfully not in real life (I don't think I know anyone with a facial mole currently).
In reality it started with Obungo's facial mole. I am pretty sure this is correct.

A National Park Pass won't work at Monument Valley, though. It looks like a NP, but it's not. Tribal land. A NP Pass will avail you nothing, I discovered. They LOVE to decline those and explain why those aren't accepted.
Also, when I was at Monument Valley, I had to drive to AZ to get a bottle of liquor. They do serve wine (wretched) in their dismal restaurant, where everything is either bean paste or tastes as if it were.

Their 3D simulator there infuriates me. It will by default lock on the selected object and give you some oblique view. The first thing you want to do is *unlock* the camera, then *reset* the camera. That will put the Sun in the center of the frame. Now grab screen with the mouse and drag it down to a polar view so you're looking down on the plane of the solar system. Now adjust the time and date to get close to 2029, adjust the speed if desired, and then let it run.
You'll see it almost hit earth. At that point you can adjust the view to the side and see the full 3D picture of how close it gets.

Yup. I was a medic in the Army, and our NCO was a pudgy Puerto Rican woman who was unable to pass a PT test, and hated men. My buddy and I were ignored for promotion or any kind of minor citations. And yet, another dullard woman (black) was promoted ahead of us, despite having been in country a shorter time. She was thick as a brick, in the head.
So, yeah, the double standard has been going on for a fucking long time in the military. A huge reason I did not reenlist after Desert Storm. I was fucking sick of it all.

Still miss my Guadalcanal vet docent colleague from the days as docent at the Flying Leathernecks' museum. And the other WWII vets who volunteered or visited.
And some of the visitors. A 50-something Chinese-American guy brought his elderly grandfather. The father instantly recognized the TBF, pointing and saying (in Chinese to his son) "that's one, that's one!". Son explained his dad was a kid living next to a Japanese airfield on Taiwan (Formosa) during Task Force 38's rampage in the region in 1945. The boys cheered the US planes strafing the Japanese airfield - and the mothers went nuts to shut the kids up and get them inside, of course!

Went recently with my buddy who did 25+ years in the teams. There were 3 sections/panels where he chuckled and said he participated. And he enjoyed the artifact displays, gear and weapons from WWII to today.
If you go (and it would make an excellent, if intense, one-two punch with the USS Midway a few blocks away), you should arrange to also drive over to Coronado and down the main road south of "town" - decent chance of seeing BUDS guys running (or walk on the beach south the Hotel Del to the "no entry" zone, if lucky you'll see the guys doing "log PT" or getting "wet and sandy" in the surf). Of course you should drive over to/around Coronado anyway.

After than, they repurposed it to rendezvous with Apophis right after the 2029 close path. Here's a little JPL video showing the fancy flying they do to accomplish that:

Here is a little known fact, and it occurred to me while I was reading about Karmelo Anthony:
The O.J. trial should've been held in the Brentwood Division of the LA court, instead of the Central (i.e., the downtown) Division, because the murders occurred in Brentwood.
The court MOVED the trial from it's regular and presumed venue in Brentwood... for the convenience of (wait for it!) the press! Because the Central (downtown) Division could better accommodate the large press presence.
In Brentwood, at that time anyway, O.J. would've gotten a largely white jury.
The Manson prosecutor, Vincent Bugliosi, wrote a whole BOOK about all the prosecution's many mistakes in the O.J. trial. But moving it to downtown L.A. was probably fatal.

My body clock is forged in granite. Years in music did that. Sleep before 3am? Not happening. I existed on 6 hours of sleep for decades. When I had surgery a few years ago I finally thought I broke the cycle. I was passing out at midnight or before, getting up at 6am and forcing myself to sleep more because there is nothing to do at 6am. After about 6 months, my body went back to the old schedule as if to say ok dude, vacation is over.

He says it was self defense and the black community believes him. Pretty sure the prosecution is going to show him going from tent to tent stealing stuff out of backpacks and purses. Austin Metcalf and his twin brother walked up and grabbed his backpack to get their shit back and he stabbed him to death. Bare minimum of "Felony Murder"* but should probably be "Murder 1"
*Felony Murder: when you are committing a felony and somebody dies as a result. If he had just 1 credit card that wasn't his, that is a felony.

The court MOVED the trial from it's regular and presumed venue in Brentwood... for the convenience of (wait for it!) the press! Because the Central (downtown) Division could better accommodate the large press presence.
In Brentwood, at that time anyway, O.J. would've gotten a largely white jury.
Posted by: mnw
===============
I'm pretty sure they moved it downtown to (wait for it!) avoid the appearance of racism and ensure that OJ got a jury of his "peers." His peers were somehow a bunch of dumb ghetto dwellers instead of the upper-class sophisticates he'd assimilated into decades earlier.

Yep, that fancy flying is something else. And it's a long game. That trajectory video starts right at the spacecraft's close pass to earth to drop off the sample return capsule. They fine tuned the pass to give it the correct gravity-kick from earth to get it on track. That meant getting a little closer to the Sun than the thing was designed to handle, but they worked out some clever tricks to keep from getting too hot.
Note how it makes a couple more close passes by earth afterward which further adjusts the orbit, and lo and behold, on April 13, 2029, all three, earth, Apophis, and the spacecraft converge.
That takes some fancy orbital mechanics.

Kindltot has it right. Under Batson v. Kentucky, the prosecutor must state ab race neutral reason for using a peremptory strike against a venireperson.
The reason better not be "merely pretextual" either, because Batson strikes can be appealed in the event of conviction.
A prosecutor NEVER has enough peremptory strikes to get rid of everybody he/she loathes. The number varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. In federal court, the prosecutor used to get 6, and the defense got 10. That's fair, right?/s

The Bug died a long time ago, but he was a prosecutor's prosecutor. He ran for L.A. State's Attorney (whatever they call the job in L.A.) & lost badly. He wasn't universally loved.

The most depressing analysis that I saw at the time, or rather just right after, was grading the defense an F, and the prosecution an F-minus. I don't remember his name, I think he was on a talk show regarding his book about the trial. But the essential point was that it was a fundamental mistake to try to draw any kind of larger point from the trial, as everyone else was doing, because it was so wildly unrepresentative of the normal practice of law, and each side was only competitive thanks to the incompetence of the other.

Still not a place you'd want to hang out, I suppose.
I would have loved to be present at the meeting where they realized that there was no way that was gonna fit on a standard street sign and went with "King Jr". Some people call it "Prince Street".

Posted by: Gunslinger at June 04, 2026 12:11 AM (HZfH/)
You are correct, Sir. It is a very great deal. I am not yet old enough for the Golden Pass , but yearn to get free entry into these places. $80 a year doesn't suck though
Posted by: BarelyScaryMary at June 04, 2026 12:28 AM (icdz0)
No no, it's $80 once and done. I checked with the Brave Search AI Summary, so you know it's true!
The Annual Senior Pass is $20 a year. The "America the Beautiful Senior Lifetime Pass" is an $80 one-time fee ($90 online with $10 processing), good for the rest of your life. And you can upgrade (in person) from the annual to the lifetime for the $60 difference.

It's still pretty far off the beaten path, though not as much as it once was.
In early days the farmers had wonderful grassland but no way to get their products to market. A bunch of them pooled their money and bought a sailing vessel. That was the origin of the Tillamook coop.
The vessel is still on the label of their products.

But I remained wary of the Tillamook County Lie Detector Test.

A pleasant looking gentleman exited the elevator, saw us looking at it, and said “yeah, this is where that cat got himself shot!” He then asked us where we were from, asked my daughter about school, and I explained it was spring break in Texas. He thanked us for coming to visit, and said “we always like to have people see what we do here!” Then he shook my hand and left, without ever having introduced himself.
As I continued looking around the building, we came into the room that had all the portraits of the current legislative officers; and I realized we’d been chatting with the Speaker of the Louisiana House.

I was living in Germany. My new fourth grade teacher (she got to the school a few days after the school year started and cobbled together her class with other students from other classes on her first day) and I were talking about things because she took an interest in books I had checked out of the library. At some point I mentioned that in a month my father was going to take me on a road trip to West Berlin. Then she said “I’ve been to Berlin.” She told me the place to go was the Haus am Checkpoint Charlie. It’s a museum dedicated to, among other things, how people escaped East Berlin and got into the West after the Wall went up. Little did she know she was creating a virulent anti-communist. For that and many other reasons, she’s easily my favorite teacher from elementary school.

Today is the 61st anniversary of the first American spacewalk, done by Ed White on Gemini 4. Here's a video of that:
t.ly/v9XxN
Note a glove floated out of the open hatch at the 5:43 mark. And further note I had to say first American and not just first. Damned Rooskies beat us on that as well.
Although Alexei Leonov nearly killed himself doing it. His commie spacesuit ballooned too much and he couldn't fit back in the hatch. He had to drop the pressure to dangerously low levels, and became overheated and exhausted. He got back in, but just barely.

This annoys the shit out of me. If they're a good musician they're a good musician. Freddy Mercury and Rob Halford were iconic frontmen with standout voices, who gives a fuck if they were gay? And why should we give a fuck about some mediocre or non-talent just because they ARE gay? Doesn't make their music any good.

A case that was once about 780 stolen sets of Star Wars Lego has now morphed into a First Amendment case because of a tyrant in a black robe.
Two bizarre and insane paragraphs. The Provo UT judge ordered that all of Reckless Ben's videos be removed from the Internet and that he would be barred from making anymore. Then to put a cherry on this shit sandwich, this same judge then said bond is waived because there is no evidence that Reckless Ben could suffer monetary harm.
This is what provoked Patrron's CEO to go online and tell Pricks and Minidicks to stuff their paperwork and to sue Patreon.
June 22d is when Reckless Ben can finally have his day in court. He now has a Civil Rights attorney, high powered one it seems, on his side who is already trying to move this case to a Federal court because of the First Amendment implications.

The Rooskies learned we were planning a spacewalk with Gemini, as EVAs would be necessary for the moonshot. So, they decided to upstage and do it first, and to do that, that got reckless with modifications to the Voskhod spacecraft, and all of that conspired to nearly kill the crew, more than once.
Soviet capsules were pressurized to 1 atm with a normal earth-air mix. And they could not be depressurized. So they had to rig a crude airlock contraption. When Leonov suit ballooned, he had to lower pressure greatly to squeeze back in, but he induced the bends, because of all the nitrogen.
And then, when he barely made it back inside, the inner hatch wouldn't seal properly. They didn't carry any extra N with them, so the system started compensating with O2, and that was very bad for the system (this bit us in the ass with Apollo 1 later). They had to come back down quick. Then the retrorocket system failed, requiring manual firing, which put their landing zone way off course and they landed on a high peak in the Urals. Bitter cold, and it took a day for the rescue crew to get to them.

What the less insane folks to the left of the "T" in LGBTQ are realizing is they're the ones being "erased." You can't be gay or lesbian anymore because sex is just some gauzy intangible construct, and you're a transphobe if you're a gay man who doesn't want to have sex with a "transman" or a lesbian who doesn't want to have sex with a "transwoman," especially one with their dicks still a-swingin'. Like all victim classes they got used and are now being marginalized within their own "movement." It's kind of fascinating from a sociopolitical perspective.

At the time, they claimed it was a smashing success. We didn't learn the truth publicly until after the fall of the Soviet Union, or maybe in the lead up.
Now, how much of that our own intel knew at the time, I don't know.
The Soviets did kinda sort fake some pictures and film of that spacewalk for their own domestic consumption. There were some real photos interspersed with the sliced in fims of Leonov training for it.

There are such creatures as flamboyant straight men. At this late date, I think the concept of "gaydar" is actually about pressuring those men to be gay. Gene Kelly openly said he wanted to make dancing a thing straight men could still do. I think it was much better for society when sodomy carried a stigma and so people naturally were reluctant to make an accusation without proof.

Kids growing up accept it as is. That's the way it is, that's the way the world is. The past is past and has little to do with the way it is. The way the game is played is the game. Other stuff interferes with the game.
This is the genetic adaptability of the human.

And, given the time, it could wreck their popularity. Rock Hudson's career would have been cratered if the truth got out. Even today, do we have a lot of openly gay leading men starring in rom-coms?

Or they're really flamboyant and try to be larger than life. One of my friends from school was a classic Theater Kid, loved to sing, tried to dance, very emotional, eccentric and the girl he took to prom was just a friend (and she came out as a lesbian a year later).
Obviously gay, right? Nope. He was just a younger brother trying to get attention from his very cool older brother, who was only two years over and totally overshadowed him throughout schoo. He found an equally exuberant wife.

I worked in canneries for six years, Summers, and I grew to loathe green beans. But, my wife likes them and honestly a garden is hardly a garden without beans or peas on trellises, so I grew them, and even canned them.
I find that after [mumblety] years I actually like home canned green beans. I loathe Santiam brand because that is what I canned and I know what went in the cans and who put it there, but home grown beans are good.

I was a kid going to YMCA summer camp when "YMCA" came out, and it was a huge hit with everyone involved.
The Village People had both gay guys and straights, and I think last year it was pointed out that the straight guys didn't get a lot of the gay references.

Donna Summer's "MacArthur Park" is a banger. Family favorite. A bunch of her stuff is great.
My father was a HUGE disco fan. Used 4/4 time and pre-rock and roll dance steps he learned were still valid. After my parents divorced, he lived his best life.
I only recently learned that he ended up marrying my stepmother because after he got tired of the hottest chick in the dating pool, she was next in line.

Disco was a plague. My best memories was watching the disco clubs fall one by one and get taken taken over by the metal heads in the very very early 80's. We swept them clean and they became metal clubs. Dozens and dozens of them with metal bands playing 7 nights a week. It was fucking glorious.

American Carnage: Sanctuary City Rapes, Decarceration Slaughters
Democrats pretend crime is just something that happens and that it's not fair to blame them for it.
But all of these crimes are the direct, inevitable, and easily-predictable consequences of the policies they choose, not just random events. A deranged homeless man barred from entering Atlanta's public transportation stabbed an innocent 66-year-old woman 20 times for no reason, killing her. Is it "public" transportation if the people actually paying for it can't use it because state-sponsored Droogs will murder them if they board? One preventable slaughter after another.It's not "random" any longer. It is, as the Joker says, "all part of the plan."
A chilling, apparently random stabbing on a MARTA train leaves a 66-year-old woman dead A 25-year-old man has been charged with murder after police say he stabbed a woman to death on an Atlanta commuter train in an apparently random attack.
Why should he? He's been protected by the anti-human state all his life. Why should he expect this time to be different? This Solid Citizen and Cultural Enrichment Officer was supposedly "permanently banned" from Atlanta's public transportation system. What does that matter, when you don't prosecute fare-evaders? It's easy to jump the turnstiles. To get banned from a subway, you need to have had many contacts with the police. But the Decarceration Agenda made sure he was free to menace and murder at will. Horrific video taken by passengers of the slain woman lying on a train floor splattered with blood here.
John Elijah Matthews was arrested around noon on Saturday, moments after he stepped off the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority train at the Oakland City Station, said MARTA Police Chief Scott Kreher. First responders tried to resuscitate Margaret Swan, 66, but she died at the scene, he said. ... Kreher said video from the train depicted an unprovoked and chilling attack on an apparent stranger, and that Swan was stabbed up to 20 times. "There's no evidence at this time to suggest they knew each other -- this was merely a random act of violence," Kreher said. "He walked over, stood next to her, and within 30 seconds he had killed her," using a small pocket knife, Kreher said. "He looked at her, didn't say anything to her, pulled out a knife." Other people were on the train at the time, Kreher said, but the suspect did not approach any of them. "He finished attacking her, and he just stood there and waited for the train to stop in Oakland City. He got off the train car, went over on the platform, and just sat down. He didn't even try to run or hide," Kreher said.
The police are refusing to release video. Why would they? The Regime doesn't want the proles to see their handiwork.

Meanwhile, ICE is pleading with "moderate Democrat" Abigail Spanberger not to release an illegal alien rapist.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is urging Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D) to make sure an illegal alien, accused of raping a teen girl, stays locked up in jail rather than being released back into the community. Cristian Romario Saenz-Argueta, a 31-year-old illegal alien from El Salvador, was arrested in Prince William County, Virginia, on May 26 and charged with one count of rape by force, threat, or intimidation, and two counts of carnal knowledge of a child between the ages of 13 and 14. According to police, Saenz-Argueta used social media to contact a girl who was under 15 years old, portraying himself as 18 years old. Police allege that in November of last year, Saenz-Argueta met up with the young girl in a parking lot and sexually assaulted her. "This sick illegal alien from El Salvador now faces three felony charges for raping a girl under the age of 15," the Department of Homeland Security's Lauren Bis said.
It just keeps happening:
Incase you missed this one…

An illegal immigrant was arrested in Virginia for rape, and instead of being deported or hanged, he was released due to sanctuary policies. He immediately sexually assaulted another woman.

Man Who Attacked Jewish Couple in Santa Monica Faces Minimal Charges, No Hate Crime Enhancement
After allegedly stalking a couple in Santa Monica because they were wearing Star of David necklaces, threatening to kill them, and commanding his dog to bite one of them, a suspect was charged on Thursday – but not with a hate crime modifier, upsetting the victims’ advocates.
...
Tar allegedly threatened to kill the couple. “You’re a Zionist, mother f**king pedophile, mother f**king Jewish,” the 49-year-old Illinois man said from his vehicle while waving a bat through the window, according to a video of the incident published by Basire. “Child killer!”…

And according to Darwin these creatures that lurk in Blue Demo-Commie Shithole Cites are supposedly on the "Top" of the Mentality Chain compared to the lesser animals and beasts???

Notice there is no difference in voting outcomes for "good" Democrat urban officials and objectively bad ones?The old idea in politics was that sure you could graft and skim but if you made things noticeably worse for the voters out you went - notice that does not happen in blue shitholes anymore?
This isn't an ideological thing - they could replace one socialist with a less corrupt socialist...but they don't do they?

Virginia Judge: It's Unconstititional To Ban That a Repeat Convicted Child Sex Offender from Loitering Outside a Children's Swimming Pool
The judge is so determined to set the pedophile free to molest children that he's decided that it's "unconstitutional" to mandate that a repeat sex offender who has admitted he gets off on exposing himself to children can't, well, go into the YWMC lockers when little girls are present and expose himself.
He insists that the pedophile maintains that right, and that anyone attempting to restrict him via the sex offender registry is violating the Constitution. You may say, well at least Virginia will appeal this ruling. Except the guy appealing it will be the incompetent DEI disaster Jay Jones who proudly wishes for his political opponents' children to be murdered. Even if he were to appeal it legitimately and not deliberately tank it -- he'd wind up tanking it, because he's an incompetent who only has his position and his law degree due to DEI and white guilt. This is where we are now -- pedophiles have a right to go into your children's locker rooms and show them their dick and balls.Registered sex offender Richard Cox is facing charges in Arlington County for exposing himself to women and girls in school locker rooms, but the case was thrown out by an Arlington County Circuit Court judge. For months in 2024, Cox used women's locker rooms in Fairfax County and Arlington County. Those two counties allow people to use bathrooms and locker rooms based on their chosen gender identity. Cox claims he's a transgender woman. "My civil rights as a transgender person allow me to use a public facility, including restrooms and changing rooms that identify as my gender," Cox can be heard saying to Fairfax County police in November 2024 on a police body-worn camera that 7News obtained. Although Fairfax County police never arrested the registered sex offender for exposing himself to women and girls in rec center locker rooms throughout the county, Arlington County police did. In 2024, Cox used women's locker rooms in two high schools and a county fitness center in Arlington. For that, the Arlington Commonwealth's Attorney Parisa Dehghani-Tafti's office indicted the sex offender for loitering within 100 feet of schools and child swim and gymnastics classes, and exposing himself to women and girls in the locker rooms. Cox asked a judge for the indictments to be dismissed and that's what happened. Judge Daniel Lopez ruled the Virginia law under which Cox is being prosecuted void for vagueness under the Fourteenth Amendment. ... The judge's core reasoning is that the statute criminalizes "loitering" within 100 feet of schools and child day programs by some convicted sex offenders, but does not define "loitering" or give standards for when it becomes a felony.Loitering has a long-established legal meaning -- it means contriving to remain present at a place without having any legitimate business there. If you are barred by law from entering a child's swimming center, you cannot hang around the doors waiting for kids to come out. Because, what is your legitimate business at this place? You have none. You are barred from entry. Why are you there, then?
This is a significant ruling because it not only found an issue with how the statute was applied to Cox. It says the statute itself is constitutionally defective. The Arlington prosecutor disagrees with the judge's decision and appealed. The Court of Appeals accepted the case, and now Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones will represent the commonwealth on appeal.Great.
He brought the child porn to the children's locker rooms. Great.
For now, everything in the Arlington trial court is on hold. Separately, Cox was recently convicted by a jury for possessing child pornography, which Arlington police found when they arrested him at Barcroft Sports and Fitness Center.
Note he's been a rapist and a child sexual material offender from before he "became transgender."
Meanwhile, in Fairfax County, Cox is charged with sexually assaulting a woman in 1988. "I want to see justice served," the victim told 7News Reporter Nick Minock.
He may be the Communist darling of left-wing livestreaming, but when the cameras are off, the real Hasan Piker is shallow and sex-driven, sources claim. Although he recently debuted a more serious image, donning spectacles and suits for his broadcasts, those close to the 34-year-old told The Post he's still a pervy, porn-obsessed frat boy -- impulses they say get in the way of him ever realizing his goal of making it in the mainstream. "Off camera he is very stiff and impersonal. I can't tell how much of what he says he actually believes. He definitely leverages it to creep on women," a former pal told The Post. Sources noted Piker regularly boasts about receiving nude photos from fans and how he claims to watch porn on a laptop dedicated to that purpose propped up on his chest so he can "still see" his penis. Piker -- who this week was banned from speaking in the UK over his extreme left-wing views -- was born in New Jersey but grew up in Istanbul, Turkey, from where his parents hail. Sources told The Post the Piker family is wealthy, but aside from a picture of a younger Hasan on a horse in full riding gear, which he himself posted, few details of his early life are known. He has said he grew up "horny in a repressed culture," until his dad allegedly helped him dodge the mandatory Turkish military draft so he could attend college in the US. At age 18 in 2009, Piker came to Miami, where after "partying too hard" and scoring a dismal grade point average of just 2.9, his mother, Ülker Sedef Piker, made him transfer to Rutgers, where she had studied art history. Piker joined a fraternity, Theta Delta Chi, and thoroughly embraced the frat boy lifestyle. In 2012, he wrote on Twitter: "The Bible for our senior year ... 30 reasons to go for freshman chicks," with a link to a sexually explicit article on TotalFratMove.com. He graduated the following year with a degree in political science. Piker loved the college lifestyle so much that when he moved to Los Angeles after college, he aimed to start a Theta Delta Chi frat house there. However, he instead went to work for his uncle, Cenk Uygur, at the Young Turks, an independent left-wing broadcast network. Enjoying his first taste of being a nepo baby, Piker was heavily promoted on the channel and his show "The Breakdown" became a success, leading to him gaining the title "woke bae" around the network.Piker has admitted going to a brothel in Germany called "Artemis." The Artemis whorehouse engages in sex trafficking and sexual imprisonment.
Prostitution is legal in Germany but police charge that the four-storey brothel complex constituted a "brutal and illegal" system that severely exploited dependent women.Probably just bad luck that he chose this brothel out of Germany's many brothels.

Brothels are legal in Germany as is sex work.
Even if the legal sex worker Hasan had intercourse with was involved in illegal activity that's hardly Hasan's fault or responsibility.
I think you're being small, petty and silly with this post.

They lived in New Jersey when Hasan was born in 1991, which granted Hasan automatic U.S. birthright citizenship. After raising Hasan in Istanbul, they retained professional ties to the U.S..

He has a huge self opinion but also has one of the most massive inferiority complexes I have ever seen. I think the 'champagne socialist' charge really got to him, so he is trying his hand at being either a mover and Shaker or a figurehead.

I volunteered at one years ago. Four times over my tenure there, husbands found the shelter and showed up, literally guns blazing. Did not care who was in range, because if they were helping his beaten-to-a- crap spouse and children, they were bad people. This ruling, if it is not shut down ASAP, will allow what you just described, and it will be horrendous.

The U.S. Supreme Court Tuesday evening allowed Alabama to use a 2023 congressional map, reversing a lower court’s ruling that repeatedly deemed the map racially discriminatory.
In an unsigned 6-3 decision on the case known as Allen v. Milligan, the court wrote that the lower court’s map would not be “more convenient” for Alabama than the congressional map the Legislature passed in 2023.

Democrats Nominate Al Qaeda and Hamas-Linked Advocate for the WTC Bombing Mastermind for Congress
January 6th protesters stole a chair and a coat-rack so MAGA must be purged.
Meanwhile, Democrats are electing actual Al Qaeda terrorists. This cannot go on. And the good/bad news is-- it will not. Via David Strom:They won't. They're all in. The Communists and Terrorists have, get this, joined forces.
Joel Mowbray
@joelmowbray BREAKING -- A protege of the Jihadist behind the World Trade Center bombing, Adam Hamawy, has been declared the WINNER of the Dem primary in the solid Blue district. Hamawy's mentor was Omar Abdel Rahman, known as the Blind Sheikh, who was close with Osama bin Laden. ... Because it was such a crowded field, Hamawy got thru with just over a quarter of the vote. And since the district is very blue (61% for Kamala), this unrepentant Islamist will join Congress -- unless national Democrats can somehow force him aside.
NJ Dems are poised to elect to Congress Adam Hamawy, a follower & friend of the radical Imam who helped inspired 9/11.

Gavin Newsom's own gerrymander may have just backfired spectacularly. California's 6th Congressional district -- that was recently "redrawn" by Newsom to help Democrats -- now has an independent and a Republican in the top two spots to advance in the primary. CNN: "California's 6th Congressional district right now, this is one of the districts that was redrawn because Democrats thought it would be a good pickup opportunity." "Kevin Kiley is the incumbent. He's an independent now, but he was a Republican, and he's definitely not a Democrat." "And the first two people in this race right now, and the top two advance, are the independent and the Republicans, NOT the Democrat." "Still, only 50% counted right now. But how nervous are Democrats here that they might be boxed out of this district they DREW as a pickup?" This might go down as one of Newsom's most brutal self-inflicted owns of all time.

David Horowitz wrote a book about it before anybody, "Unholy Alliance." He also sponsored a speaking tour around college campuses labeled "IslamoFascism Week." I went to one at UCLA. Nonie Darwish spoke. She was the daughter of the founder of the Egyptian fedayeen, who was assassinated by the Israelis. She became an outspoken supporter of Israel.
Can you even imagine such an event taking place today?

For the last couple of decades they have stockpiled blood from all newborns born in the state. They, then, held onto these blood samples for 23 years, AND FREELY SHARED THESE SAMPLES WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT-STATE AND FEDERAL without a warrant. This was all done covertly until it was discovered by a clerk and word got out.
The still are allowed to stockpile these blood samples for a long as 10 years (after the lawsuits)....and they still share with law enforcement under more strict guidelines (IOW, at their discretion)...and still don't require a warrant. So, if you were born in NJ in the last 3 decades, you are in the DNA database. And, there is an indication that this process began as long as 50 years ago.

New Jersey Monitor, 12th District Democrats trade barbs over candidate’s ties to the ‘blind sheikh,' published May 27th.
In part,"Hamawy brushed off his connection to Abdel Rahman as minimal and decades-old news. He said he was young when he first encountered the blind cleric in 1991, and remembers carpooling with him and others on one occasion. Hamawy said he testified at the man’s trial out of a sense of “a civic duty.”
...
"Hamawy, who was born in Egypt and moved here as a child, maintains he had no relationship with Abdel Rahman."
“Any Muslim is going to be called a terrorist at some point, and these tropes are outdated and worn. Unfortunately, they continue to be used right now,” he said. “These are not serious arguments, and they’re getting old.”
Reading all is recommended.
Also> FBI History, WTC bombing 1993.
(Note) Formerly a resident of New York City, Abdel-Rahman and nine others were convicted of seditious conspiracy in 1995.[1] His prosecution grew out of investigations of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. (Wikipedia)

It just doesn’t matter. There will be no effect whatsoever on how NJ-12 votes. If anything, having a literal terrorist on the ballot might depress overall voting and maybe we pick up a seat here or there.

Those following things closely would have details. I think VA's abortive redistricting actually contained 2 to 3 very slim/dicey "D+" districts (this is what can happen when a 53-47 state is supposed to be represented by 10-1 ratio in the House, or whatever it was).
Posted by: rhomboid
This is also the case in Florida. A lot of the redrawn “red” districts are very slim red. And based off 2024 votes. In 2026 some these could well be blue if just a small % of 2024 voters switch.
It’s easy to make Mass 9-0 because there are only 9 seats. But with a state as big as Florida (both geographically and population wise) or California there’s only so much juice you can squeeze out of gerrymandering before it starts backfiring.

The childhood stutter flares up from time to time, resulting in dementia.
Former President Joe Biden crashed his wife Jill's debut book talk Tuesday, stealing her spotlight to bizarrely ask the former first lady whom she loves the most in a cringe-inducing moment before aides could cut him off. Jill Biden had been wrapping up a Q&A about her newly released book, "A View from the East Wing," with moderator Whoopi Goldberg at the 92nd Street Y on the Upper East Side when Biden, 83, left his seat in the audience and wandered up to the edge of the stage. Goldberg had read a comment from the audience thanking Biden for his service, and Jill, 75, stood up to give her husband a standing ovation when the ex-president's seemingly unplanned speech began. "I have a question," Biden said unprompted, and without a microphone, while flanked by security guards. "Joe has a question, like you couldn't ask it later?" Jill responded.Christmas, this is embarrassing.
"Who do you love most in the whole world?" Biden enquired.
"Whoopi," Jill answered, causing the audience to break into laughter. As "The View" co-host tried to speak, Biden continued to stand and blankly face his wife, seemingly unhappy with her answer. The former first lady eventually caved and said, "I love you most, Joe. Was that it? Was that the answer he wanted?" "It's overwhelming, isn't it?" the 46th president continued -- barely audible without a microphone. "Overwhelming, well, that's what keeps him on his toes, he's never 100% sure, I always keep him guessing, is that not true?" Jill said as her husband lowered his head and made the sign of the cross. In an attempt to end the bizarre moment and wrap up the event, Goldberg encouraged the audience to purchase Jill's new book. But Biden remained standing and pointed his finger as the exit music played.Her vagina goes "vroom, vroom." You should hear it.
"My book...," Joe Biden began before a crew member came from backstage to hand him a microphone. "My book, which comes out in September, read it..." "Do I have to remind him that this is my event?" Jill asked jokingly. "The only thing that Jill does better than write, she's a beautiful woman," Biden declared before the event finally concluded.

He's always been a subnormal-IQ buffoon.
So this isn't new. He thinks he's really accomplishing something here.
His dementia addled brain still can't handle the fact that he's not the center of attention anymore. Jill is stealing his limelight and he thinks there's something he should be doing about it, but isn't sure what.
Just wait until you see her when Joe finally kicks the bucket.

Biden 2008 vs 2012 is a big difference. His face is stretched like the Joker.
But then in 2016 he looks closer to "slightly older version of 2008" Biden.
Then in 2020 he looks like "slightly older version of 2012 Biden"
Then in 2024 he looks like death.

It actually frustrates me there's a chance that sonofabitch will forget what an unmitigated disaster he was as president.
That evil f*cker needs to go to his death bed KNOWING what a f*cked up failure loser he was.

Huh? Does this guy not get it? "Doctor" Jill despises the Dumocrap party and will never forgive them for shitcanning her husband in 2024. She was desperate for 4 more years as 1st lady. She was livid when Joe got tossed aside like last week's rotting fish. She's still livid now. The fact that her book tour hurts the Dumocrap party is a feature, not a bug.

Gavin Newsom’s own gerrymander may have just backfired spectacularly.
California’s 6th Congressional district — that was recently “redrawn” by Newsom to help Democrats — now has an independent and a Republican in the top two spots to advance in the primary.
CNN: “California’s 6th Congressional district right now, this is one of the districts that was redrawn because Democrats thought it would be a good pickup opportunity.”
“Kevin Kiley is the incumbent. He’s an independent now, but he was a Republican, and he’s definitely not a Democrat.”
“And the first two people in this race right now, and the top two advance, are the independent and the Republicans, NOT the Democrat.”
“Still, only 50% counted right now. But how nervous are Democrats here that they might be boxed out of this district they DREW as a pickup?”
This might go down as one of Newsom’s most brutal self-inflicted owns of all time.

I'm surprised. I vaguely remember hearing that those 8-figure book deals were shrinking, to, like $10 million. Everyone knows that book will not sell through its advance, and Jill is hardly the media powerhouse that Michelle Obama is, nor does she have the long, promising future that Michelle did when she left the White House and embarked on a lucrative media career.

The Stuttering Foundation, 2015
(In part) During a CNN town hall, President Joe Biden discussed stuttering. Here are some of his remarks from the event:
"It has nothing to do with your intelligence quotient. It has nothing to do with your intellectual makeup," Biden said. "You know, stuttering, when you think about it, is the only handicap that people still laugh about. That still humiliate people about. And they don't even mean to."
The President credited his mother when it came to not letting his stutter define him. He said his mother would tell him, "Joey, don't let this define you. Joey, remember who you are. Joey, you can do it. So every time I would walk out, she would reinforce me. I know that sounds silly, but it really matters."
An inspiration, he is.

Judge Cha-tuka Kaka Chunken is the judge overseeing the lawsuit to release the Biden audio tapes.
The wife of the judge that just ordered Trump's name be removed from the Trump-Kennedy Center is arguing that, since Joe was such a good boy and cooperated with Hur, there is no reason to release the audio tapes.
That we don't need the audio and should just rely upon the summary of the conversations as presented by the man who cleared Biden of all wrong-doing.

At about 11:30pm - Midnight, Harris released a comment from campaign headquarters (Trump was running the table quite obviously at the time). Harris said that she was optimistic, and they'd look at it again around 3am to decide where we are. IOW, the fraud should be doing exactly what it did for Biden in 2020, come from behind shennanigans across the board. ONLY, the fraud never kicked in. I think there are a number of reasons for this (such as the Trump campaign learned to stop whining about the cheating and address it directly when it appears)...so they called off the big cheat in the wee hours.
The Bidens thought it was business as usual, and were surprised that Trump won the next morning...not out of optimism, but out of preparation.

Former First Lady Jill Biden appeared to admit in her memoir that she knew about Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attack on Israel before her husband, the then-president of the United States did.
The former first lady released her memoir on Tuesday detailing her time in the White House with former President Joe Biden. On the morning of the Oct. 7 attack in the Middle East, the former first lady writes that an aide texted her asking if her husband was awake because he needed to jump on a call with the National Security Council. (RELATED: Jill Biden Dethroned As America’s ‘Lady Macbeth’
“Then, very early on the morning of Saturday, October 7, 2023, I was grading midterms when the staff texted me and asked if Joe was up yet – he had to get on the phone with the National Security Council,” Biden writes.

Former First Lady Jill Biden appeared to admit in her memoir that she knew about Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attack on Israel before her husband, the then-president of the United States did.
The former first lady released her memoir on Tuesday detailing her time in the White House with former President Joe Biden. On the morning of the Oct. 7 attack in the Middle East, the former first lady writes that an aide texted her asking if her husband was awake because he needed to jump on a call with the National Security Council. (RELATED: Jill Biden Dethroned As America’s ‘Lady Macbeth’
“Then, very early on the morning of Saturday, October 7, 2023, I was grading midterms when the staff texted me and asked if Joe was up yet – he had to get on the phone with the National Security Council,” Biden writes.

Obama and Pelosi carefully planned out the 2024 coup - Biden was going to be forced to withdraw from the Presidential race, and then the Democrats were going to conduct a "mini-primary" to replace Kamala with someone electable.
Joe screwed that up by immediately endorsing Kamala as his replacement, making it impossible to replace Kamala with a white guy like Barack and Nancy were planning.
Joe deliberately f***ed over the Democrats as revenge for Barack and Nancy's perfidy.

California Primary Results
Although California will take days or weeks to full tabulate the " " " votes " " ", it appears that Karen Bass will take about 35% of the vote, Spencer Pratt will take 30%, and communist carpetbagger foreigner Nithya Raman 22%.
That means that Bass and Pratt will go on to the general election, which will be held on November 3rd. Unless Karen Bass's fraudulent vote elves can print up enough fake votes to get her over 50%, in which case she wins immediately. But I think that's too big a lift even for the Democrat fraudsters of the Home of "Ballot Harvesting," California. Ugh:Byron YorkAssuming they can't "harvest" enough "votes" to get to 50%... When I saw those numbers, my first thought was "that's terrible, that means the communist vote is 52% combined and Spencer Pratt will lose." However... Karen Bass is the incumbent and could not manage but a tiny bit more than one third support. An incumbent with 35% support is an incumbent in trouble. Not all of Nithya Raman's voters will migrate to Bass -- after all, they're choosing against the obvious leftwing candidate, the incumbent, for a reason. Also... the fact that we've established that the total universe for votes for leftwing candidates is right around 52% is bad news for Bass. That's her ceiling. It's a low ceiling. Regarding the governor's race: the top two vote-getters were Obama/Biden non-entity and incompetent Xavier Bercerra and British FoxNews populist commentator Steve Hilton. Deranged billionaire Tom Steyr and Republican sheriff Chad Bianco finished beneath them. Given that there are still votes to count, and anything can happen in a Democrat-controlled 5th Quarter of voting, it's possible that either of those two could slip into the top two. There have been reports that Xavier Bercerra used dubious means such as bots to boost the impression that he was the front-runner. It seems to have worked, and there's nothing to be done about that now. But bots aren't going to put him over the top in the general election -- that will require real fraudulent votes.
@ByronYork 54m At the moment we have 58% of the votes counted in the California governor's race and 63% counted in the LA mayor's race. From NYT: "Most Californians vote by mail, and ballots postmarked on or before Election Day have one week to arrive. In the 2024 primary, about half of results were reported by 5 a.m. Eastern time the day after the election. It took 10 days before 95 percent of results were reported."
Other Democrats have already conceded defeat, including college teacher and the Native American demonic Spirit of Ravening Hunger, Fat Wendigo Katie Porter.

It's true.
Sort of like Cornyn in Texas.
However, Los Angeles.
I don't think the point of Pratt's run in LA is to win. I mean...he seems to think he can do it, and all the best to him. However, I think the point is to break the cognitive dissonance of the middle and lower-upper classes in the city.
"I don't know anyone who voted for Bass...and she won. That doesn't make sense."
I think best case scenario out of CA this year is enough Republicans make enough statewide and large city ballots to juice Republican turnout statewide. This will make winning federal House races easier and, perhaps more importantly, state legislature races.

Katie Porter is the result I'm happy about. She left Congress to run for governor.

A lot of sane people who would vote for Pratt left LA long ago. Those who remain are the biggest believers in all the left wing shit and/or vote by race/ethnicity. Blacks will vote 99.98% Bass and Hispanics will mostly vote against the evil white man. Then you have the Karens and Hollywood types who think a Republican will put all gays in concentration camps.

Earlier last night, Spencer was midway between Bass and Raman, vote-wise, and pundits were hoping that Raman cukld catch up to Spencer.
Oops.
As the votes rolled in, the opposite happened -- Spencer started gaining on Bass, and leaving Raman in the dust.
If this trend continues to the final vote is counted, Spencer will actually come in FIRST, not second.
That probably won;'t happen, and is a moot point anyway, but by the morning it was almost 100% lock-solid clear that Spencer was heading to the runoff, as Raman fades.

I respectfully disagree. As I have observed in Oregon, the infighting between leftists can be fierce -- some because they're fighting for a bigger slice of the grift (and they would cut a bitch over a fiver found on the pavement), others because they're true believers (and their politics is basically a crypto-religious cult). No doubt Raman's supporters on the inside of the election fraud machine will fall in line for the general, but I can't picture them folding and rolling over before it's over.

yes, I know DOOM is mother's milk around here, but I just don't see any way SCOTUS allows post-election ballots to be counted.
Do I think CA will say, "yeah, but that only applies to federal elections."
Yes. And then SCOTUS will issue shadow docket that, if CA wants to do that, they'll have to send out separate ballots for state and local elections, apart from the fed ballot.
Will CA go full retard and do that?
Probably.

I have no hope that Hilton or Pratt will win the generals, but it should be noted that turnout is very different in the primary and the general.
About 7 million voted in the gubernatorial primary in 2022 and about 11 million voted in the general.
Newsom slightly outran his primary results, but he was also an incumbent.
Will the general include increased enthusiasm from Republicans who feel like they have more than just a sacrificial lamb in major races?
I'd say it'll probably be enough to make it closer but...Democrats still win both races by at least 10 or so as opposed to 20.

Too bad the next Cali Republicans to run in state and Big City elections will be the usual RINO grey matter instead of loudmouths like Pratt who can take advantage of any rightward momentum. We're missing out on a golden opportunity and building some distant silver opportunity that has no chance of fruition thanks to the construction of Cali's vote machine over the next so-many years.

Well, the point wasn't to give hope about California (CA voters need to do more than vote to get their way out of that mess by this point), but to poke fun at people who use unpredictive measures to try and predict the midterms.
So many times over the last few months have I see, "Republicans don't turn out! See this results in this state-house special election on a Saturday in the snow? It's obvious that Republicans aren't enthused and won't turn out!"
But then when Republicans do turn out at higher numbers proportionally, it gets ignored.
Why do we have people focusing on the latter and not the former?
(For the record...neither are predictive. I'm just noting the selective choice of what to focus on in comments that betray anything like objective measures, even when people are trying to make it seem like they use objective measures.)

PEST CONTROL

Posted by: Don Black
Holy 🐄! Initiative Petition 28 (IP 2
, also known as the PEACE Act, is a proposed ballot measure that would -
Criminalize traditional farming, ranching, livestock breeding, and meat processing; redefine catching fish or crabs as illegal animal injury or slaughter; outlaw the targeting of game animals across public and private lands, and restrict common practices used to manage rodents and other animal pests.
The Oregon Farm Bureau says most concerning for agriculture, IP28 would redefine “sexual assault” to include routine animal breeding practices across all species and even domestic companion animals.
Source: Beef Magazine
The campaign backing the measure submitted over 120,000 signatures to the Oregon Secretary of State, surpassing the 117,173 valid signatures required for it to qualify for the November 2026 ballot. The signatures are currently undergoing verification.
The bill does not entirely ban all animal interactions; it retains narrow exceptions strictly for self-defense and veterinary care.

My concern is that Pratt voters are Pratt voters and highly motivated to vote for him. They will continue to do so. But Bass voters are low IQ grifters who will switch from the other commies and that little brown retard. Her vote will grow in the runoff.
So great, he made it to round two. Now they get serious. He needs something big to happen to disqualify her.

It isn't even that they are foreign born so much. OK, that's a big part of it as they are used to the tribal / corrupt / squalor that Bass provides.
But another big part is that something like 70% of the city is on the dole of one form or another. They don't give a shit about taxes or regulations as they are immune. And the crackdown on crime scares them -- will their illegal taco stand be shut down? will their nephew go to prison? will they have to move out of their overcrowded apartment? Will they lose the government job? these are *their* kitchen table issues and they all work against good government.

Election results for California’s newly redrawn District 6 show a nail-biter of a race, with the Democratic candidate currently in third place by a small margin.
Current House Rep. Kevin Kiley, who switched party affiliation from Republican to independent earlier this year, is leading the race with 26.8% of the vote as of 4 a.m. on Wednesday. In second place is Republican Michael Stansfield, who has 22.2% of the vote, while Democratic challenger Dr. Richard Pan has 21.2%. Just 1,108 votes separate Stansfield and Pan with 48% of the votes counted, according to the Associated Press.

It's not like you got turned down after a proposal. It's not even like a job interview, and you didn't get the job.
You put yourself forward as an option for the people to choose, for a definitionally temporary term in office. They have no obligation to choose you, and you have no right to expect to be chosen.
Being emotionally unsettled because you lost an election means you were, and are, completely unfit for public office of any kind.

Scorned Woman Pelley Shrieks Out
Adam KlasfeldDoes he though...?
@KlasfeldReports Scott Pelley is the face of the highest-rated newsmagazine on TV, and every "60 Minutes" staffer in the room reportedly gave him a standing ovation after this exchange. The idea that Bari Weiss can blithely fire him without also committing institutional arson is naive. Pelley did this because he has integrity-- but also because he has power.
Dylan ByersHe was given a standing ovation by the other communist cultists in the room, which they were eager to tell the media that they were sure Nick Bilton could hear as he was walking away.
@DylanByers #SCOOP: Scott Pelley had a meeting with CBS News leadership at 5pm ET to discuss a path forward after his protest in 60 Minutes all-hands. The two sides did not find common ground and it now seems likely he will either resign or be fired, though neither has happened yet.
And now: the bitch has been fired. And I mean fired. CBS didn't just let his contract lapse without renewal, which they were obviously already planning to do. Fired for cause, invalidating whatever time is left on his contract, and ending their obligation to pay him under it. Gross insubordination is almost always a cause for a firing under the terms of a contract, and CBS exercised their right to fire for that reason. And Pelley left them no choice. But this wasn't bravery. Again, he knew he was being let go. This flounce is all advertising for his substack and podcast, which I'm sure will be fair and objective, because that's what Scott Pelley insists he is.
John Ondrasik
@johnondrasik The fact that every staffer stood and applauded is further proof that 60 minutes needs a full tear down.
CBS News axed veteran "60 Minutes" correspondent Scott Pelley on Tuesday night, a day after after the longtime network star blasted editor-in-chief Bari Weiss and challenged her newly installed leadership team in a heated confrontation that exposed the widening civil war inside the iconic newsmagazine. In a letter obtained by The Post, newly appointed "60 Minutes" executive producer Nick Bilton blasted Pelley in informing him he was fired "for cause effective immediately." "[Y]ou hijacked my first meeting with staff to disparage me, my qualifications, and my intentions with remarkable incivility and contempt," Bilton wrote, referring to Monday's heated face-off between the journo and his boss.By the way, Sex Machine Brian Stelter reported that Bilton had asked to meet with Pelley privately, before the meeting, to discuss next steps. Pelley refused to attend a private meeting, choosing instead this flouncing public tantrum.
Bilton further accused Pelley of staging a "performative display of hostility" and claimed he had "no interest in contributing to the future success of the show, or approaching my new tenure with a mind open to collaboration and progress."
Brian StelterI think Pelley refused to attend that meeting because he expected they would tell him his contract was not being renewed "but we can talk about what your role will be as we wind down the time remaining on the contract." And I have a source for that -- the source is It's F***ing Obvious, Jack! Open your ears, Jerky!
@brianstelter Worth noting amid all the coverage of Scott Pelley's scathing criticism today: According to a person with knowledge of the matter, Bari Weiss and Nick Bilton sought out Pelley for a private meeting last week, but the longtime correspondent did not take them up on the offer to talk.
"I am here to deliver first-in-class news programming, not to make headlines about newsroom drama," Bilton wrote.Nick Bilton had no choice. If an underling pulls bullshit like this, degrading you, undermining you, and attempting to pose as your superior, you have no choice but to fire him. Gross insubordination can't be tolerated in any organization, even as trivial and inconsequential one as television entertainment. (Which is all 60 Minutes is.) And now -- He's quitting Twitter and he means it this time, guys! He's written a long ranty entry in his Slam Book and he wants you all to read it!
He went on to tell Pelley: "Your antipathy to the future of the show has come through loud and clear. And I have heard you." At the meeting in question, Pelley told Bilton that the new leader had "slender" qualifications for the job and would "never be welcome here," sources previously told The Post. Bilton fired back: "You are not going to intimidate me in front of this group of people." The correspondent also accused Weiss of "murdering '60 Minutes'" and claimed she "was brought in to kill it and is doing exactly that," according to sources familiar with the exchange. The clash lasted roughly 15 minutes before Bilton ended the meeting and walked out. The confrontation divided staffers at CBS News, with some insiders branding Pelley's behavior "bullying" and "grandstanding" -- and yet another reckoning that it was "a set-up," sources told The Post.
Scott Pelley accused CBS News management under Editor-in-chief Bari Weiss of trying to inject "falsehoods and bias" into reporting after the veteran correspondent was fired Tuesday. Pelley, who spent 37 years at CBS News and became one of the most recognizable faces of "60 Minutes," leveled a series of extraordinary allegations against CBS News leadership without giving specifics. "For my part, new management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story," Pelley wrote. "I've been told to include assertions that are unverified."Let me translate that for you. The media decided ten years ago that Republicans were Nazis and that they could no longer report "both sides" because there are not two legitimate sides -- there is the Democrat side, and there is Evil. Bari Weiss had previously demanded the CECOT story be held up so that she could receive comment from the targets of the hit-piece. Democrat operative Sheryl Alfonsi freaked -- You can't include comment from Trump! He is the Antichrist! His words are the lies of the Devil! But of course getting and publishing comment or denial from the target of a hit piece had been standard ethical media practice... until ten years ago. Bari Weiss demanded a return to the former media practice, which was still biased as hell but at least they'd include a denial at the end of the story, read with unmistakable contempt. That's what Scott Pelley is shrieking out about -- he won't include the "lies and falsehoods" in his story, aka "the denial and comment from the Trump Administration officials he is running political hit pieces against."
Pelley claimed he repeatedly resisted those efforts. "To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them," he said.
He also alleged that politicians had been given influence over editorial decisions. "Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast," Pelley wrote. "Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done."
Scott Pelley is so obviously a grandstanding bitch that even fired, disgraced CNN Thumb Chris Ciilizza sees through it.
Cillizza admits that his media pals are a guild of dinosaurs who just can't accept the public has been increasingly rejecting them for ten years and that they need to change:
Seen in the most pro-Pelley light, he chose to confront Bilton and Weiss in an all-hands gathering as a way to make his point as big and brightly as possible. Huddling behind closed doors with the bosses wouldn't properly convey his upset over the restructuring at "60 Minutes" etc etc. Seen in a less pro-Pelley light, however, Pelley chose to do his "truth to power" thing not in hopes of actually changing anything but rather as a way to make it as performative as possible -- in a content age in which performative emotion is absolute gold. The immediate leaking of the audio of Pelley's remarks to literally every media reporter suggests to me that the latter -- and admittedly more cynical -- explanation has real plausibility. Because let's consider how the next few days are likely to go. Pelley is very likely to get fired by CBS News. I mean, you can't blast both your immediate boss and your big boss and expect to keep your job. And I would assume Pelley knew that going in! Like, if/when he gets fired, he is not going to be super shocked. And when he gets fired, Pelley will cut a video announcing he is starting a Substack where he will engage in "fearless" commentary about the capitulation of CBS (and all other media) to Trump and the almighty dollar. And that Substack will immediately rack up lots and lots of subscribers. And Pelley will make money. Maybe lots of it. (We've seen this exact arc play out repeatedly in recent years.)
But there is also NO doubt that broadcast news -- and cable TV news -- are a dying product. The average age of a CBS News viewer is 62! NBC News is 57. ABC News is a "youthful" 55. That's a problem. Because unless science figures out a way to get us all to live until we are 150, the reality is that the main clientele for what CBS News is offering -- yes, including "60 Minutes" -- is, quite literally, dying off. Which is why I found myself vigorously nodding my head to the defense Bilton offered on Monday amid the Pelley barrage: "Broadcast is an ice cube that is melting." YES. YES. YES. No one -- presumably not even Pelley -- thinks that the solution to what ails big media is more of the same. Like, yes, "60 Minutes" still works! But for how long? And doesn't it make sense to look at your flagship products -- whether that's "60" or the evening news -- and say "How are we going to make this product continue to work amid massive disruption in how people want to consume content?" To me, the answer is very obvious. Which is why Pelley's criticism -- You guys don't have decades of experience running a broadcast news division!!! -- rings false to me. If I was Ellison -- or anyone who owns a legacy media brand -- I would want people in the decision-making room who AREN'T old hands at the thing the legacy media brand was built on. Because we know those legacy media content delivery vehicles -- linear TV, print newspapers etc. -- are dying off. And that no amount of expertise in how to make great-looking broadcast TV shows or put together a whiz-bang front page of the print newspaper is going to reverse the steep decline of people who consume their content that way. ... But, again, the fact that neither Weiss nor Bilton have long experience in making TV seems to me more an asset than a detriment. CBS News (and every other legacy outlet) has to figure out new ways to reach people on new platforms. Why not have people -- like Weiss! -- who has done that? Why then was there a rush to tout Pelley as a hero and Bilton and, by extension, Weiss, as the bad guy(s)? Because I think a whole lot of journalists -- mostly tied to legacy media but also some in the independent space -- are still clinging to the idea that the way things worked up until 5-10 years ago can still work today and in the future. They can't. ... We've reached the "kill your darlings" stage of legacy media. The boat has already hit the iceberg. Now the only question is what we do about it. And doing the same old things -- or slight variations on the same old things -- ain't going to work.

@ConservativeTht For those concerned about CBS @60Minutes & journalistic "integrity"after the choreographed meltdown with management by Scott Pelley, keep in mind... • Lesley Stahl insisted the Hunter Biden laptop story was fake. • Pelley gave a softball COVID "lab leak" interview with Peter Daszak, the since disgraced "scientist" whose firm helped finance the Wuhan lab. 60 Minutes is not the "gold standard" of journalism. It's tarnished bronze at best.

The idea that Bari Weiss can blithely fire him without also committing institutional arson is naive.
Pelley did this because he has integrity-- but also because he has power.

And Pelley left them no choice. But this wasn't bravery. Again, he knew he was being let go. This flounce is all advertising for his substack and podcast, which I'm sure will be fair and objective, because that's what Scott Pelley insists he is.
This.
He yelled at his superiors. He insulted the big boss. He was asking for it.
He feels he's now a martyr.
He believes he is bigger than the company. This is a bad way to go about things.

Serious question: Why couldn’t The Bulwark make a run at Scott Pelley? It would be costly, but why not hire him to host a “Bulwark Investigates?” It fits with the mission. I know the thought of this gives JVL a woody.
Could The Bulwark partner with someone? “The Bulwark Investigates, presented by Netflix.”
He's likely in a position where he doesn't need the money and can do what he wants. This includes association with 'new media' outlets like The Bulwark, or his own channel/content outlet. This is more likely than him showing up somewhere like MSNOW or ABC News.
I would really prefer to see PBS or NPR pick him up. NPR has gotten far more liberal democracy since they stopped relying on keeping politicians happy (PBS has remained great, it was under less of a microscope). I recommend checking them out if you thought they were too wish washy in recent years.
We don't need Bulwark news, we need Bulwark music. The pro democracy playlist. Give the art back to the artists so the kids can get motivated to do good things.

How important is 60 Minutes?
Probably about as important as 2-3 MSNBC daytime shows put together.
Which is to say....not that important.
Because they all say the exact same things. 60 Minutes just says it slower and with better lighting.
It's not unique in terms of the actual content. It's actually extremely derivative, taking stories from months before and saying them again but with more serious framing.
Losing a player in that game...doesn't matter.
What matters is taking that institution and making it sound different from the rest. Which is what Weiss is doing.
And that's the real sin.

I remember when Stahl interviewed Trump and Trump told her that Obama's goons spied on his campaign. Stahl responded by rolling her eyes and saying that claim was unverified and this was 60 Minutes and they don't push unverified information.

Do Weiss and Bilton really want to recapture some numbers? Are they really ready to act on the decline of 60 Minutes-style reporting? Are they fixin' to bust paradigms, boldly go where no journalist has gone before? Then do this:
Expose their own asses. Go back for 10 years to the biggest, most egregious lies and correct the record. "TONIGHT! CBS News uncovers... CBS News." If the original "reporters" refuse to cooperate -- give them the Pelley.

His primary position is catcher, and he looked absolutely fabulous (hair and performance) blocking nearly everything after we spent some time the day before his first game refreshing his blocking basics, his pops are fast, and his throwdowns are fast, flat, and accurate. He accidentally hit a kid in the face, ahead of 2B, when the kid didn't slide, but the throw was dead on. and clearly beat the runner by a half step.
He's looking like the best catcher in the league we have faced thus far, and he's worked hard at doing so, setting the bar for his team's other catcher, who is respectable in his own right.
Alternately in CF/LF, he's fast and has a good glove, recording a couple fly outs and no errors yet fielding.
And his hair is the object of all the ladies' attention, the poor girls.

If they win all tossups as defined by Crystal Ball, their top is 222.
But they won't win all tossups (that don't happen none), and assume favorable results, probably between 218-220 seats for Democrats in the House next Congress.
And there's a solid chance they don't win that many.
I'm hoping for 218 and then some 90 year old black Democrat dies the day after voting for Jeffries as Speaker.
Just for the lulz.

The ump surely was. Ugh. Couldn't get a called strike, for either team, and he was one of our local middle school boys. Little and our batters noted that many strikes were called balls.
He was consistent, but it sucks for the other team, even though it wouldn't have mattered, except psychologically and emotionally, to go away thinking that they got beat by the ump, while we get the reputation of being that team who advanced on bad, local umping.
We've been on the other side of that, and it sucks for guys at this level.

In some cases with decrepit senators like Mitch, staff can have outsize influence, especially on committees.
And depending on the topic, some aides can have material influence on some members. So it all depends, but very far from staff running things.
The Tuesday lunch with the members gossiping and kibbitzing has more impact than staff for many of them, in many cases.
All this from years of being there, which was years ago.

The problem with 2018 was the entire Republican establishment saying, "Maybe Trump is a Russian agent?"
You turn off Republican leaners two ways with this. The first is, "Oh, Trump is a Russian agent. I can't vote." The other is, "Oh, the GOP is fighting the standardbearer of the party. I can't vote."
The retirements eliminated the advantage of incumbency, yes, but this was more of an effect of the overall strategy the party establishment took to dealing with Trump rather than the actual cause of the poor midterm results (which were out of step with economic indicators).

Erick Erickson: "Alarming" Rumors Swirl About Graham Platner's Ejection from Elite Boarding School; More Is Coming About His "Behavior" with Women
I was wondering about Larry O'Connor's statement from a few weeks back: That the Nazi tattoo is only the tip of the iceberg and much, much worse was coming.
Was the sexting with 6-12 women the "much, much worse"? Or is there more? Apparently there's more. The really toxic stuff hasn't been released yet. No one is saying it but it sounds like they're hinting about the r-word, and I don't mean his already established racism. This seems to be hinting about sexual misconduct of some kind.The latest is the sexting scandal wherein Platner texted sexually explicit messages to a half-dozen to a dozen women. The original report was about a dozen women and the campaign says it was only about a half-dozen. From there came revelations that Platner has been on a social site called Kik, which is a favorite site of predators. And, bubbling to the surface are allegations that Platner might have left school for alarming reasons -- those are being whispered about right now.Could cheating or an honor code violation be an "alarming reason"? I don't think so. It sounds like something more serious. He writes about the various people shifting blame for Graham Platner's serial infidelity to the staffer who tipped the media after the texts were shared by his wife. This includes a Washington Post "reporter," who took the odd position that the source who revealed relevant information about a political candidate should be shunned and banned from employment. That doesn't sound like a "reporter." That sounds like a Democrat Party fixer determined to punish those who leak the truth about Nazi candidates:
... The man has a Nazi tattoo. He said soldiers in combat deserved to die. He blamed Susan Collins for sending him to war, despite volunteering repeatedly, even going back with Blackwater. He bragged about killing people. He fantasized about rape and said rape victims deserved some blame. He bragged about taking leave to have sex with prostitutes in Southeast Asia. And he claimed he can't get in a porta-potty without masturbating and fantasizing.I didn't hear about the fantasies about rape, but it's very ominous when combined with the next sentence:
Soon we'll get the even worse allegations against him and what he did to women beyond fantasy. Just remember that the Democrats have stuck with him. Eventually, the PodBros, Bulwark, and the rest will abandon Graham Platner. Once they're done blaming the Jews, the victims, the women around Platner, the Republicans, and others -- they'll abandon him. What's coming will force them to abandon him. And when they finally flee, remember they were comfortable with him through all of these things -- things that all point to where the next accusations will be.I can't wait for the Tucker Carlson interview. Obviously I don't know anything about this, but I am able to read words and infer the meanings they're implying. Now I wondered, if there's an absolutely radioactive attack coming, why is it being held? The primary is in six days, next Tuesday. But of course Janet Mills has announced she remains a candidate in the race, albeit one whose campaign is suspended. So Democrats could abandon Platner and vote for Mills instead. So I think this hit is being held until after they're locked into Platner, after they've chained themselves to his stinking corpse. Or who knows, maybe this is a false op designed to scare Democrats off of Platner. I guess we'll see. In his interview with Two-Way, he says that classmates are talking about the reasons for his ejection from Hotchkiss, and "reporters are circling," and, once again, "women" specifically are talking about it. Why would women in particular be talking about it if it's just about, say, an underaged DUI? Seems that the allegations have something specifically to do with women.
Per BDN: Graham Platner left DC early yesterday, ahead of his planned fundraisers with wealthy DC insiders, citing a "growing media presence" outside of Platner's family home.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani's whiz-kid spin doctor -- under fire for allegedly threatening a whistleblowing ex-staffer to US Senate hopeful Graham Platner -- brazenly admitted to blasting out nude photos of himself in a resurfaced blog post. Morris Katz, the 27-year-old campaign guru who helped catapult Mamdani to Gracie Mansion, made the bizarre confession while defending disgraced former California lefty Rep. Katie Hill in a November 2019 blog post after she quit Congress. The openly bisexual ex-lawmaker resigned that month amid a storm of affair allegations involving multiple staffers -- and right after a trove of leaked nude photos were published online.This guy is "openly bisexual"?
"I've sent nudes and I've received nudes," Katz blithely admitted in the Medium post titled "Katie Hill Resigned for Our Sins." "We need to reach a cultural understanding where sexual photos that were consensually exchanged get deleted once their relationship ends or either side no longer consents," he wrote.
"Everybody I know knows someone whose nudes have been circulated," he continued. "It's become an accepted part of teenage (and evidently adult) male culture." The Washington Free Beacon was the first to report on the blog post Tuesday as Katz faced renewed scrutiny over his alleged involvement in the snowballing saga involving Platner, the Democrat running to unseat Republican incumbent Sen. Susan Collins in Maine. ... The report alleges Katz pressured Genevieve McDonald, the Democrat's former political director, in an effort to block a story on the candidate's alleged lewd messages to women. "If the story goes in its current iteration, we'll communicate directly on the record, and by name, that Genevieve violated the personal trust of Amy and Graham and shared explicit falsehoods to sabotage the campaign," Katz told McDonald through an intermediary, the outlet reported. After his alleged dirty political antics were exposed, Katz whined online that it was "no one's f--king business" what happened between Platner and his wife, Amy, before he started his run for office.
One year later, in 2020, Katz published (through a company owned by his mother) a children’s book called Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Puberty—and Shouldn’t Be Googling: For Curious Boys that included sections on “Your New Penis,” “The Magic of Masturbation,” and… pic.twitter.com/sFZqbUBJou

Washington Free BeaconSo he's an expert on Curious Boys, huh?
@FreeBeacon One year later, in 2020, Katz published (through a company owned by his mother) a children's book called Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Puberty--and Shouldn't Be Googling: For Curious Boys that included sections on "Your New Penis," "The Magic of Masturbation," and "Toxic Masculinity." Katz proposed using an image of his own penis in the book "to get this point across" but his publisher "said it was inappropriate."
Full story from the Washington Free Beacon:
In 2020 Katz wrote a children's book--through a publishing house owned by his mother--called Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Puberty--and Shouldn't Be Googling: For Curious Boys. The book includes sections on "Your New Penis," "The Magic of Masturbation," and "Toxic Masculinity." In March, Politico reported that on page 17 of the book, next to a chart discussing the phases of puberty, Katz wrote: "At first, we were going to use images of my penis to get this point across, but the publisher said it was inappropriate so here we are."I imagine he'll say this is a joke, but I don't think it's a joke to tell children that you would like to show them your penis. I think that's grooming and hinting around to gauge interest.
Katz is rapidly becoming one of my favorite Dems.

No Democrat was going to win against Collins.
Polling of the state sucks ass, and she always wins by as much as Lindsay Graham wins in SC.
The Democrat Party is a grifting party pulling hundreds of millions out of donors big and small to launder through donors, and they will latch onto any potential thought of a win to get another 7 figures out of their braindead base.

Maine is a very big early voting state.
About 80% of all ballots in 2024 were early.
This is crescendoing after a week of early voting and months after the Nazi stuff came out...months of Platner being so far in the lead according to every tea leaf that Mills just outright suspended her campaign weeks ago.
And her response to all of this? A single tweet saying that she's technically still on the ballot. Probably paid an ad agency $250,000 for it, too.

Primary is June 9, next Tuesday.
No runoffs, though Maine does have Ranked Choice voting in primaries.
However, every indication is that Platner is running away with it.
There's the added wrinkle that it's Maine law that parties can switch out nominees after a primary for up to a month after the primary, so the real deadline is July 9. After that, Collins lets loose the dogs of war.

Regular Mainers aren't worried at all. We are fired up to elect Graham Platner and kick Susie "Concern Troll" Colins to the curb.
I’m riding with Platner. Susan Collins is 1,000 years old and betrayed our country with her decision to support Supreme Court nominees who then destroyed women’s reproductive rights. She is basically an undercover Trump loyalist.
Do Democrats realize every hit piece they put out against Platner makes me want to vote for him even more. We literally have a child rapist for a president and supposedly some 20 year old Reddit comments and texts are supposed to be disqualifying?
The most recent sexting revelation isn’t going to change much, because if this is disqualifying for you, the tattoo was already disqualifying; if the tattoo wasn’t disqualifying, this isn’t either.
No one is perfect. No one is going to pass your purity test. Let’s learn from the mistake they made with Al Franken.

Campaign managers don't do that unless they plan on never working in politics again...or if another campaign is paying her to do it. A powerful campaign. I suspect the DNC worked with her to get her to contact the WSJ with promises of finding her work somewhere outside of Maine in politics.

Whatever - he's not a Garbage Person. He hates the people Dems hate, and they say he's good, and that's what counts. He's a Good Person.
These are the same voters who just selected a candidate from al-Qaeda in NJ. Nothing matters to them besides the approval of the bien-pensant ruling class Solons they wish they were, and sticking it to the hated subject classes they can't see they're a part of.
And, I hope he wins. I don't give a fuck about Susan Collins or her shit Party, and the federal Congress is meaningless in any event. Let Maine get what she deserves.
All this crap just drives more people toward splitting up the country, and that's my single issue. I don't want to be in a country with these goons. They need to be out of my life.

As they should. I'm not military, so I wondered how actual Marines are feeling about his comments. I suspect the left sees it as the equivalent of the supposed "suckers and losers" comment via Trump, figure if Trump can survive that, Platner can survive this. But those were very different situations.
It's punching down for JD Vance to weigh in on the Platner fall from grace, but I'm so curious how he feels about a former fellow Marine.

I think the answer may be even simpler: this dirt was gonna come out sooner or later no matter what, so the campaign aid "leaked" it to get it out there so that later during the general it can be dismissed as "old news."
This guy is a sociopathic nepo leech who sucks his own dick dry. He is surely 100% convinced he has the primary locked up, and probably the general as well. It would make sense for him to "leak" bad news in advance to take the sting out of it later.

He was a 14 year old black kid that went into an Asia guy, Rick Cow's, shop.
As far as I can piece it together, he picked up some water bottles and then left the store. The store owner and his son didn't see him put them down before leaving so they confronted him thinking he stole them.
The kid flashed a gun, then the son chased the kid, and the father followed both and ended up shooting the kid arguing in court that he thought the kid would shoot his son.
I tried reading a few reddit threats but every other post blames this on white supremacy. Yeah...multi-racial white supremacists strike again.
Anyway the shooter was acquitted so "the community" is in an uproar...

Connoisseur of cruelty VDH summarized the phenomenon well. The coalition has 2 basic voter demos: those well enough off that they are untouched by the ruin, and those on various forms of public assistance, most of whose frame of reference is Mexico, which makes LA look good.

Early voting has been going on for a while.
And he was winning polls by 30-50 points after the Nazi tattoo was revealed.
Why would he drop out?
If he drops out, he has a 0% chance of being senator. If he stays in, polls are telling him he'll win the general, so he'll have a good chance of becoming a senator (these polls are bullshit like they were in 2020 for the Maine senate race).

There's a picture of him lifting his shirt and he has another shape in that spot. It's like a sea monster, or something.
I don't think it looks like a real tattoo myself, and he said on a podcast that he had no intention of covering it up after it was revealed.

O'Keefe has been a major success by just getting attractive young men and women to flirt with Dems and let them spill the beans.
The GOP could do the same thing and get the same result.

Scott Weiner being gay doesn't bother me. What bothers me about Scott Weiner is that nearly every piece of legislation he's pushed through the California House has been directly or indirectly aimed at sexualizing children and making them more accessible to adults. It's the one common thread throughout his entire state legislative history. He shouldn't be anywhere near playgrounds and schools.
Regarding Platner's scandals, they only hurt him insofar as the women who he's used and abused were affected. The Totenkopf tattoo, the communism, the chronic masturbation, et al can all be forgiven, even celebrated (especially the communism).
It's just odd to me that Platner in Maine, Weiner in California, and Talarico in Texas are the best the Dems can offer voters. They couldn't find even one candidate in their respective states who could pass for a normal human.

In multiple public campaign interviews, Platner strongly implied that he and his wife paid for the $5,500 Norwegian treatment entirely out of pocket because they couldn't afford the $25,000 U.S. alternative.
The working class BS & concealment of what's to surface.
Surprise!, A New York Times report published in May 2026 disclosed that the family covered the costs for the medical procedures, flights, and lodging in Norway.
After the media reports, Platner's campaign officially acknowledged that the candidate's father and in-laws had indeed financed the arrangement.
Note that Platner may be on 100% VA disability for TDIU. "Wife" is being paid by his campaign ($1,800 twice a month). They also don't wanna f-up the very comfy life they're living either.
But why, WHY would that woman try to get pregnant by him? 😬 (That's one weird mother-son relationship he's in.)
He's not been "right' forever.

Wednesday Morning Rant
There are a couple of companies that help summarize the dot-com bubble. One was an outfit called "Internet Capital Group," which was a business-to-business eCommerce holding company and venture capital firm. It had about $70 million in revenues when it went public in August of 1999 at $12 per share. The price doubled on the first day and gave the company a $3 billion market cap. By the end of the month, it had increased nearly five-fold to $58 per share. By the end of the year, the stock price had gained over 2700% and was the most successful IPO of the year. It reached a peak market valuation of over $50 billion. The stock split in its first six months. By the end of 2001, the company was a penny stock. By the end of 2002, the company had a market cap of around $200 million and it finally liquidated in 2018 after shambling along as a zombie for more than a decade, shedding most of its properties along the way. This dot-com high-flier was a pure bubble stock, and billions of credulous investor dollars evaporated in its cash furnace.
On the other side, there were the real dot-com companies like Cisco Systems. Cisco was - and is - a real company. A real company with real products and real customers and real revenues. As the dominant manufacturer of network switching equipment, the explosive growth of the internet resulted in a lot of sales for Cisco. At the peak of the dot-com excesses in March of 2000, this company that made the tools other bubble companies needed had a stock price of around $80 share and a market cap of over half a trillion dollars - a hell of a run in its decade as a public company, given that it started with a quarter-billion-dollar market cap when it went public in 1990. This year marks the first year that Cisco has managed to regain its prior value of around half a trillion dollars. Nominal. Inflation-adjusted, it's still nowhere close to where it peaked. Beyond just the financials of the bubble players, there was the wider mania that helped fuel it. The number of estimated users for internet companies in the late 90s totaled to more people than existed on the planet - by a decently wide margin. The sky wasn't the limit, there was simply no limit at all. Anything was possible, and the internet was going to do it all, however absurd it sounded. Everyone believed, and everyone got rich. Right up until the whole thing collapsed like a dying star. The internet wasn't fake, and it wasn't unimportant. Its value, however, was totally disconnected from reality and the promises everyone made had no way to be fulfilled. It ended the only way it could, with the stark reminder that no player is safe during that kind of mania. Whether a long-shot startup or a major, established and very real company or even the narrative itself, the collapse of a mania takes out everybody. Even the survivors walk away extremely bloody. Flash forward thirty years, and it's happening again. AI is driven by companies with massive valuations, lots of promises, and an assumption that trees - this time - will grow to the sky. Take Cerebras, an AI chip maker and services player. It went public this year with half a billion dollars in revenues and, if you account for unusual one-time accounting, losses of around $75 million and negative free cash flow. It has potentially valuable future contracts with some big players. It has a market cap of around $52 billion. AI majors Anthropic and OpenAI will probably IPO this year. OpenAI is a loss-making enterprise that, according to the company's own estimates, will rack up in excess of $100 in losses by the end of the decade, with profitability not expected before sometime in 2030s. Anthropic also loses money, but expects to achieve profitability this decade rather than next. Each company will likely end up being valued in the neighborhood of a trillion dollars. The infrastructure players are no different. Nvidia, which makes the processors preferred by AI companies, has seen its market cap surge from around $325 billion in 2020 to around $5.4 trillion today. Not bad for a few years. Broadcom, which makes a variety of computer chips and software and whose products are found in most computers, mobile devices and networking equipment, is not directly an AI player but is benefiting from the boom. It has seen its market cap move from around $180 billion five years ago to around $2.2 trillion today. Like Cisco, these are real players with real products and real customers and real revenues and real profits and who have seen unprecedented surges in sales and enterprise value on the back of a new technology sector. And the narrative is helping drive it all. You can't swing a cat without seeing stories about how AI is changing everything, how everyone will be living in the AI world, how AI demand is unlimited and so on. Preposterous claims like those from Microsoft - which said that all white-collar work will be replaced by AI in just 18 months - are commonplace. Don't worry about negative stories, just believe. And buy. Buy and believe. AI and dot-com are not the same song, but it increasingly sounds like they rhyme.Comments

Yeah, the AI stuff is actually really helpful (assuming you know how to use it properly, which most people don't), but the vast costs have been greatly underestimated. Users (especially businesses) are going to see the price go up and up as time goes on and these AI companies are forced to somehow make a profit after spending insane billions on these data centers.

It definitely speeds up a lot of tasks - for example if I want to write a series of powershell scripts to analyze a log file I can take the time to remember each command, double check the syntax and then run them one by one.
Or...
I can tell AI to write them and it gives me the scripts back in a few seconds and then run them
Or...
Tell AI to write and run them and give me the data I want.
Option 3 is risky because it makes dumb choices (since it isn't "intelligence"). But Option 2 is mostly upside...interestingly the main downside is I'll forget how to wrote powershell scripts over time.

The biggest mistake that investors make -- even successful investors -- is jumping on a hot stock after it already popped. That's closing the barn door after the horses have already left. The early investors already made all your money, and you're risking a burst.
Instead, look for beaten or battered companies that already took a big hit, but otherwise seem like sound future investments. Remember Intel? About a year ago everyone was sure the company was a week from bankruptcy. I disagreed. I bought and now am up 500% on my investment.
Sadly, even I am not immune to the naysayers, and instead of investing $100k like I wanted to, I only put in half that. Foolish me. I let the know-nothing know-it-alls talk me out of half of my investment -- and half my profits.

I don't know about sentient, but I suspect that companies will outsource decisions to AI as a way to not just cut staff, but to escape responsibility for the decisions. For example, I can imagine a health insurer (or any insurer) deciding whether something is treated based on and AI analysis. Sure, this is already happening with nameless, faceless office people who crunch the numbers/odds and decide yes or know. However, I'm imagining AI will make this a lot easier/ more efficient/more widespread*, and when you challenge it, it will be 'sorry, the AI said it's a no go and the company defers to this "intelligence" over people.
Heck, you might no longer have the opportunity to interact with a live person -- this is getting harder and harder nowadays already.
*AI is already building dependence, as people outsource work and learning, and how soon before they are incapable of performing these tasks without AI?

Elon and his team are very smart, but I see an incredible number of problems needing to be solved before there are data centers in Space. Russia and especially China are also political blockers of this, to go with the engineering issues.
I agree completely, but I still think it will happen more quickly than we expect. It just makes too much sense not to.

The company crashed twice and had to reinvent itself. Amazon branched into cloud computing, infrastructure, logistics, and basically everything. They were also helped a lot by government and the idiocy of traditional brick-and-mortar stores.
It helped that they were a darling of Wall Street from day one, and there was never a shortage of money and investors to prop them up even during the crashes. Most less-popular -- and less-hyped -- companies would not have survived.

There are a lot of people who want it to be, because they think it will prove something about humanity or exostence. So there are forums dedicated to explaining it already is sentient and it's just, for example, biding its time.

There is that but there is another part to this people often miss.
The oligarchs directing the left don't want AI to make decisions for them obviously, and while they want to use it to make money and control the populace they have a much more significant need/goal.
They know they are going to die absent some major breakthrough and since they are atheists that's the end.
So it is worth any risk to get an opportunity to find a way to extend life. Contact aliens? Check. Build a real super intelligent AI? Check. Bio-experiments that might end the human race? Check.

True enough, but the internet was shaped so much by the mad rush of speculation of that time. There was a mad rush of rolling out - anything, really that shaped what we have now. The incessent moving forward of Tech that we see is a legacy of that time. IMO of course. Tech is still at a gallop, and AI is part of that.

True, but a lot of these "car companies" were really coach-builders or customizers.
That was the model at the time: customers bought the car mechanicals from Company A and then had Company B build the body over it. The idea of going to a dealership and buying a fully-complete, functioning car didn't become the norm until decades later.
Also, while a lot of these early companies went out of business, at least an equal number were bought by bigger companies in a massive wave of consolidation.

My wife's Mini Cooper was allegedly like that. It needed a new battery after seven years. I called the local Mini dealership and spoke to the service manager. He spouted the company line at first, but I finally got him to admit that it wasn't necessary to have the dealership install and register the new battery, that any equipped auto repair place could do it.
I took the Mini to my regular mechanic's place who hooked up some device to the car's computer and verified that they could register the new battery.

That also explains Nvidia's ascent a bit. Their GPUs were being used for non-graphical purposes, since processing for Bitcoin and similar was computationally expensive and the cards were perfectly situated for the logic needed in said processing.
It also caused the prices of video cards to skyrocket at that time, due to the increased demand for blockchain-related calculations.
NFTs and the like just dropped off the radar because AI became the Thing. But since the equipment is similar, the tech hardware was easily able to segue over to AI.

I have a dark theory: China learned evil lessons from Reagan and the arms race against Russia. How we scared Russia into building arms too fast and then economically weakened them.
Is China doing that to us with AI? Using the AI tech war to make us build AI too fast and it then weakens the US? Then we aren't a threat when they take Taiwan back? Or am I too paranoid?

Ford is urging thousands of owners not to drive their trucks over a life-threatening suspension concern.
About 4,653 Bronco Sport and Maverick vehicles from the 2021 to 2026 model years in the United States are under a 'do not drive' advisory.
On some models, a part of the front suspension that helps with steering - known as the front lower control arm ball joints - may not have been assembled correctly.
If the critical part breaks while driving, the driver could face problems steering and potentially crash.
As a result, dealers are available to inspect the part on both the left and right sides - and repair as necessary at no cost to the customer.
Ford dealers will provide impacted customers with complimentary towing of their vehicles for inspection and repairs, if it's needed.

Is China doing that to us with AI? Using the AI tech war to make us build AI too fast and it then weakens the US? Then we aren't a threat when they take Taiwan back? Or am I too paranoid?

Kuwait International Airport has come under Iranian missile and drone attack on Wednesday, in a significant strike that killed one person and left 63 people injured – according to the country’s health ministry, with several of the victims being seriously wounded.
A passenger terminal was directly struck, damaging facilities including diplomatic missions at the airport, Kuwaiti authorities have said. Area hospitals conducted seven major emergency surgeries following the incident, underscoring that it was a mass casualty event.

Once they steal a couple of examples, they just stick the parts in a digital scanner or break out the dial calipers, copy the dimensions and reassemble. Then they spend the next 20 years trying to make their counterfeit work because they don't understand things like metallurgy.
This is the story of the Shenyang WS-10 turbofan jet engine, which started as a copy of the US/French engines used in 80s Boeing 737s that they picked up before they were embargoed after the Tiananmen Massacre.

We're moving extremely heavy into AI hardware development and are emerging as THE major competitor to Nvidia on the hardware front.
I've been in electronics manufacturing since the original boom of the latter 90s and this one, on the hardware side, makes that one look like a small excursion. Tens, hundreds of billions are flowing in. We can't grow fast enough. Our company is expanding NA manufacturing from ~1 million sqft last year to 5 million next.
When this bubble bursts, the devastation will be epic. It could be bigger than 2008-9. I expect the end to come in 2028, for political reasons.

Cupid Chastised
Bartolomeo Manfredi Good old Bart is considered one of the many Caravaggisti, and it is obvious that he embraced Caravaggio's style, and quite well! From the Getty Museum website:
Bartolomeo Manfredi was known throughout Italy and beyond as Caravaggio's closest follower. More than simply copying Caravaggio's style, Manfredi reinterpreted his subjects and rendered new ones, while drawing upon and propagating Caravaggesque naturalism and dramatic use of chiaroscuro.

"Cupid Chastised depicts a moment of high drama: Mars, the god of war, violently whips the young boy, Cupid, as punishment for embroiling the god in an affair with the boy’s mother, Venus, the goddess of love. Venus tries in vain to stop the beating. Surrounded by darkness, the three figures are boldly illuminated from the left, intensifying the composition’s dynamism and impact. The physicality of the figures conveys the violent discord of the scene: the crouching, wide-eyed Venus; the furious, muscular Mars; and Cupid, whose naked flesh and recumbent position render him particularly vulnerable. On one level a tale of interpersonal conflict, the story also symbolizes the eternal conflict between love and war."

When I first saw the image, I thought of Caravaggio, but the red especially wasn't quite right....not deep enough shadows, I think, and the color isn't quite deep/rich enough. "Caravaggio with better ambient lighting."

"Cupid Chastised" is a painting by Bartolomeo Manfredi, created in 1613, depicting the Roman god of war, Mars, punishing Cupid, the god of love, for his illicit affair with Venus, the goddess of beauty. The artwork is known for its dramatic use of light and shadow, characteristic of the Baroque period, and is part of the collection at the Art Institute of Chicago."

Sweet summer child. Reports that Iran has somehow been sending tankers (shadow fleet) through the Strait while avoiding detection is laughable.
NRO/Space Force satellites in geo-stationary orbit over the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman provide real-time surveillance feeds to CENTCOM identifying possible interlopers.
Match that with P-8 Poseidon aircraft flying around-the-clock ISR missions to investigate suspected targets means nothing is getting past the blockade unless one or more tankers are intentionally being allowed to pass.

While oil tankers can vary significantly in capacity, with Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCCs) typically able to carry about 2 million barrels of crude oil, while Ultra Large Crude Carriers (ULCCs) can hold up to 3.7 million barrels. Smaller more common tankers, like Aframax, usually carry between 500,000 to 750,000 barrels.

The Strait of Hormuz is both narrow enough that Iran can control it via a few speedboats launched from the coast ...
but also vast enough that the entire US military, with the most advanced detection capabilities in the world, still cannot detect hundreds of supertankers passing through.

Why would you make that logical leap?
The post was about how the SAVE act would stop this in...local and state elections.
Passing the SAVE act at the federal level...would do nothing to stop this from happening in CA at the state and local level.

You should remind him that if we're doing Guilt By Association, his trans friend is likely to be a mass shooter, and you're worried about your cow worker's safety.

It's not a logical leap. It's a very clear indication that this is what Democrat have always done and we all know it.

IF I remember it correctly, there was a party at my parents house, no parents, and a girl, high school age, was drinking heavily, but also a diabetic or some such. I wanted her gone because yeah, no. Her cousin was attempting to get her to leave, but another girl was pissing at me telling me it wasn't my house because my name wasn't on the deed. Others finally got those 2 idiots to head towards the door and one guy's girlfriend decided that whipping the tits out was a good way to get things moving.
I will admit a momentary distraction, but I'd seen them before, they were small, and the twat that was not heeding my demands to get the f*ck out of MY house and take her stupid ass friend with her before shit got real regained my attention.
They did finally leave.
