Tuesday Overnight Open Thread - September 8, 2026

HRhr-lDbwAEUFGk.jpg
From Wildcard


Howdy Hordelings! The Tuesday ONT is here. On time, as always. Open thread, as always. Ready to be whelmed?

We now understand why that extra 1 second appeared on the clock in the Michigan vs Western Michigan game on Saturday (language warning)

Tough times financially lately for Nike.

Nike exits the S&P 100 after 18 years and a $200 billion market-cap wipeout

One of the largest sports and athletic-wear companies of the modern day may be disappointing its namesake. Nike, the sportswear company named after the Greek goddess of victory, is losing its spot in the top 100 U.S. companies for the first time in nearly two decades. The athletic apparel giant lost over $200 billion in market cap since its all-time high in 2021, a near 80% drop in just the five years that have passed, and a plummet so severe that the once mighty company is no longer listed on the S&P 100.

Article is paywalled, but you get the idea.


15 minute video here - pretty good analysis


Pretty clear to us normies as to what happened to Nike

Donating stuff for charity is good, right? Maybe not always!

Maryland man fights tickets tied to SUV he donated to charity

A Maryland man who donated his disabled SUV to charity says he spent months fighting traffic and toll violations after someone allegedly forged documents to register the vehicle in his name.

Stu Martin said he donated his 2015 Ford Escape to a charity last fall after the vehicle's transmission failed. The donation appeared to benefit both parties. Martin signed over the title, surrendered the tags and no longer owned the vehicle.


"I haven't had it since it was towed away in November," Martin said. "Signed away the title, turned the tags in."

About six months later, however, Martin began receiving speed camera and toll violation notices in the mail.

Check out the whole thing.

Doof Enterprises, LLC wonders if it's now "unofficially Fall" since yesterday was the "unofficial end of Summer". Or is there some interim season between the "unofficial end of Summer" and the actual start of Autumn? Are we currently in the first day of Sumtumn? Or Pre-Fall? Help!

Your feedback may or may not be very important to Doof Enterprises. Follow Mr. Doof on X @doof2112 or do the email thing – doof2112 at proton dot me.

For anyone wondering - the interview got cancelled again, they filled the slot. My efforts continue. I get so very tired of this. I pray for the right job to make itself known soon. Or for whatever God wants, to make itself clear to my sight soon.

Tomorrow around lunch I'll ping the ones I'm waiting for feedback from, as politely as I can, except the ones that I know for sure won't be done evaluating candidates yet.

19 70 year old can of unopened corn chips. Would you eat them?

Maybe not 70 year old. But chips tend to last a long time. About four years ago in about April I saw a couple of bags of Kettle Brand jalapeño potato chips in the discount section of the local grocery store. They were there because they were set to expire in a few days. I was planning on making potato chip cookies and thought jalapeño might be good.

But Things Got In The Way and then summer travel and holiday travel and… it was April again, and I still hadn’t made those cookies.

Well, it can’t hurt to open one of the bags, they might still be good enough for cookies. They were. And good enough for eating, too; I made one batch of cookies, and needed to open the other bag for the second batch, because I’d eaten too many while waiting for the first batch to finish.

Jalapeño potato chip cookies very good, especially the sandies variety.

Hello Mr. Doof. Thank you for content.

62 Thanks for the ONT, Doof.

Theme for an imaginary western is one of the most beautiful songs by Mountain along with Nantucket Sleighride.

Probably my second rock concert after Three Dog Night in HS. I think they came to Jackson, MS because of "Mississippi Queen." There were no large concert arenas closer to Vicksburg. I was so goofy I did not know they were at Woodstock for decades. While Leslie West was nothing to look at, he could sing. I fancied Felix Pappalardi in looks and as a bass player; who were my choice of guitar boyfriends til I met the acoustic guy I married. I remain mad that his wife killed him.

My generation simply took it for granted that music would be this great forever. Thankful I heard a lot live and partied to great music through the '80's.

That kid playing some Dire Straits is amazing. Wow.

I know why you posted that woman eating a burrito, Doof. I was waiting for her to unhinge her jaw like a snake. Gross.

No. Some say a track was laid on top of his playing. I have no idea but it was impressive if it's real.

The little girl with the gun: I debated emailing sons & saying, "Remember the few times when Mom was a bit nuts and/or had PMS, plus a lotta work stress? I raised my voice to you as teens & you still lived to adulthood!"

A lot more stress than someone whose mother/MIL and nanny helped along with a husband at home & not working. I didn't "snap" as the three hag jurors decided. I had a glass of wine instead & told them I needed to rest for 30min in our bedroom.

The jurors blamed wicked insomnia (which I never had when baby's/toddlers were small & could drop off in minutes from lack of sleep). Anxiety (I have that at times now and don't murder). Depression...ok, I had that once for 2wks post flu & cried a lot but no energy or thought to murder anyone.

However, I was concerned the email might offend the more liberal of our DIL's (whom we love) if she saw it. I assume she won't murder their future children & that baby will have a lot of attention & help.

111 Til Tuesday was a true overnight sensation with Voices Carry. Their tour in the Northeast had already been planned a lot of minor venues. Including Eisenhower Hall at West Point, NY. Ike Hall was like the student union at a normal school. It's a 5000 seat theater, but it isn't a major venue for acts. The audience is captive!

I don't know if the date at West Point was the first on the tour - but it was the first one after they blew up on MTV. Their manager was a piece of work because now he had genuine stars on his hands and here he was running them through Podunk stops. He was NOT very nice. The band on the other hand was. And Aimee Mann was a different personality from the rest of the band. Don't know what they were like before but the band had been backstage for a couple of hours. Mann came in maybe 20 minutes before curtain. And she looked...rough. All leather, hair in a scarf, looked kind of rode hard put away wet.

But after the opening act finished the spotlight came up on Aimee Mann in a gold sequined miniskirt and big 80s hair and makeup that was just so.

Several thousand members of the predominantly male audience were appreciative.

118 Had a GTI once. Very nice car to drive. But it had been designed by the special "discourage the owner" engineering team. Just changing the air filter involved loosening ring clamps, wrestling off intake tubes, pulling the box off grommets (and then reinstalling the grommets) and the grand finale, taking out 6
Phillips screws to open the removed air box to replace the filter. No discernible performance or even manufacturing simplification to do that design either. Don't drive no VWs no more.

145 I think, from now on, when I mess up badly I'm going to blame it on being a Gemini and that Mercury is in retrograde (even if it isn't).

My husband, a moody and sensitive Cancer (he is neither), will simply be stunned and run to his horoscope to read: "A Cancer will most often marry a Scorpio, Pisces, or Taurus, as these signs offer the deep emotional safety and stability that a Cancer craves in a life partner." I'll bet they are not as fun as being married to me!

In reality he will probably laugh and mock me. Which is what he does nearly daily even if I haven't screwed up. For example, if I don't run over a curb while driving him to a MRI he compliments me on arrival home. He said that last week. Yes, I did run over a curb in the parking lot two months ago and who cares? No one died! I think the tires are still in alignment. Whatevah!

I think my birthday is the greatest ever and have thought that since I was a kid. Smack dab almost in the middle of the year with Christmas for gifts! I was a deep thinker, even then.

I didn't know til today we are known for murder! Whee!

========
Some of the stronger acoustic guitarists can bend thinner guitar necks to achieve a similar effect. Pete Townshend preferred Gibson SGs of a certain vintage in the late 60's and early 70's (Tommy, Live at Leeds, and Who's Next) because he could bend the neck and alter his sounds that way.

Doing his windmill thing, Pete actually impaled himself on a Strat whammy bar later on and avoided hitting any important nerves or muscles. I am guessing that Pete wished he had been playing his Gibson SG's that evening. That might have been the 79 tour but cannot recollect exactly.

Agree. I can't read about the actual murders and what happened as I don't want to know. I sadly have an idea.

Mel Gilbson had a lovely tribute of Jesus welcoming them in their little matching teddy bear pj's to heaven. That's how I like to think of them.

I can't read about abuse to children. As a RN in the ED/Trauma for five years, then 2yrs doing other stuff for the dept, I was somehow "protected" from abuse and car accidents of children and teens (sons were teens then). I had a job share partner, childless, who got those when I was off.

I had to once deal with the father of a toddler boy he shook til the baby got brain damage and was flown out. The sheriff told me to not let the guy know he was a suspect as they arrested him at the children's hospital later. That was difficult because I wanted to shake him vs offering sympathy that the baby fell from a sofa as we waited for the mother.

I protect myself from things that make me sad or enraged or sickened. Child abuse in all forms does this and I avoid it.

CENTCOM forces destroyed five Iranian crude oil carriers, Sept. 8, after the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) targeted a U.S. Navy warship with ballistic missiles twice over the past two days.

The U.S. warship successfully evaded the attempted Iranian attacks and continued to patrol regional waters. No American personnel were harmed.

222 Semi-Literate, easily and by far the longest/worst stretch of weather here in modern times (well, in my lifespan).

Which partly just reminds us of how amazing the climate is here, as this stretch (from mid-July to .... now) is typical or nothing special in much of the country. Tropical storm the current culprit. And recall that the weather this calendar year has been ridiculously nice, even for here, right up until later July.

The judge in the Clancy case needs to hold contempt of court hearings for the nurse jurors who reportedly ignored expert witness testimony and brought in external information (who could possibly understand the information without an external background lecture from nurses on the jury), rather than relying on expert witness testimony, and then used that to attempt to bully a juror into agreeing with them.

Which partly just reminds us of how amazing the climate is here, as this stretch (from mid-July to .... now) is typical or nothing special in much of the country. Tropical storm the current culprit. And recall that the weather this calendar year has been ridiculously nice, even for here, right up until later July.

That spelling (pronunciation) was a standard " term" for "whitey" in the 70s, 80s and into the 90s, but I haven't heard it recently.
Prior to that, it was "hunkey" (uh,not aw) as the word used for just about any east European ethnicity, which makes a good argument for it originally as a "Hungarian" derivative.
OTOH, I also heard "bohunk" (Bohemia - part of Czech) as a sort of equivalent term, so who knows?
They could be "fighting words", but they were mainly used in a razzing manner, what I saw Adam Corrola call " busting his balls" on a podcast.

239 In East Toledo, "Hunky" is not even a pejorative, it's just the word for Hungarian. And the bacon is hunky because you need a solid piece of jowl bacon to make the campfire delicacy Sutni szalonna, or hunky-turkey. Yes, at one time turkey was expensive and bacon was cheap.

You hang a piece of bacon over an open fire, and hold crusty bread slices under it as the hot grease cooks off and is absorbed into the bread. It gets a toasted crust on it. People who have learned not to say "hunky" now call it Greasy Bread. It goes pretty well with excessive drinking in several forms. You get good mileage out of the piece of bacon, so it was popular at the time Packo's used to sell those split half hot-dogs for a nickel.

242 Funny thing is that I almost never bought Nike shoes. The last pair I had was in 1990 and they quickly fell apart. Oddly, they never really made good running shoes, IMO. I wore Reebok forever until I switched to NB, never looking back.

Nike did, however, have a good clothing line. I got some of their shorts - I’m sure they would be classed as basketball shorts but I found them to be good for running. They held up nicely, as did their shirts, socks and headbands. I haven’t gotten a Nike product in at least 13-15 years though.

Use abrasive cutoff wheel in angle grinder to saw shaft off flush with one of the pole pieces. Use drill press to drill 3 holes in shaft parallel to shaft center axis, but offset to perimeter. That greatly relaxed the interference fit, and pressure from two screwdrivers pried the pole piece off easy-peasy.

271 Berserker the USSR and Japan had a cold stand-off along the northern Chinese border (after the Soviets had kicked Japanese butts in small battles just before the main act of WWII kicked off). They had a non-aggression pact that both sides honored.

At Yalta Stalin promised to join the war against Japan within 3 months of Germany's surrender. He kept the promise, to the day. Treaty was abrogated. Soviet forces crashed through a weakened Shantung Army (Japan's forces in northern China) quickly. Japan surrendered 6 days later.

So technically no, Soviets did not do a lot of fighting against Japan. But the whole weird situation with Russia and Japan suited us fairly well (Japan didn't interfere with our Lend-Lease shipping to Far East ports).

276 Sanae's a great PM but this objection to the Russian monument I find odd and off-base. Imperial Japan's record of infamous atrocities is most lurid in China. Whining about a memorial to Soviet action that helped end Japan's dark chapter in China is just odd.

On the other side, I've long thought Moscow has fumbled things in the Far East. Resolving the territorial question with Japan, as part of a broader rapprochement, especially WRT investment and development, would be a winning approach. In its own right, plus as a diversification of Russian foreign economic ties - away from so much dependence on Chy-nah. The islands in dispute have zero inherent value to Moscow (mineral/energy rights can be shared), but are important to Japan.

278 Iran's massive investment in missile tech and fortification couldn't be erased in a few weeks. It was very badly damaged.

Production capacity was hit hard (umm, but it can always be rebuilt, which is another reason regime change is the only result that isn't in effect kicking the can down the road).

Their stockpile is greatly reduced, and they didn't show much ability to inflict major damage with their systems.

In the middle of the 2026 Defense Forum, while Philippine Minister Gilberto C. Teodoro answered questions from the public, a person linked to China sent him a note insisting that the 2016 ruling on the Sea of South China was “illegal, null and void”.

Teodoro grabbed the note and began to dismantle it point by point in front of the entire audience, explaining why the Chinese arguments do not hold up and concluding that Beijing rejects the binding force of the ruling because it does not want to submit to UNCLOS.

The response was so forceful that he ended up applauded by the entire audience.

In the middle of the 2026 Defense Forum, while Philippine Minister Gilberto C. Teodoro answered questions from the public, a person linked to China sent him a note insisting that the 2016 ruling on the Sea of South China was “illegal, null and void”.

Teodoro grabbed the note and began to dismantle it point by point in front of the entire audience, explaining why the Chinese arguments do not hold up and concluding that Beijing rejects the binding force of the ruling because it does not want to submit to UNCLOS.

The response was so forceful that he ended up applauded by the entire audience.

“About the fact that it does not have binding force: it does not have it because they do not want to submit to UNCLOS”. (law of the sea)

286 271 Berserker the USSR and Japan had a cold stand-off along the northern Chinese border (after the Soviets had kicked Japanese butts in small battles just before the main act of WWII kicked off). They had a non-aggression pact that both sides honored.

At Yalta Stalin promised to join the war against Japan within 3 months of Germany's surrender. He kept the promise, to the day. Treaty was abrogated. Soviet forces crashed through a weakened Shantung Army (Japan's forces in northern China) quickly. Japan surrendered 6 days later.

So technically no, Soviets did not do a lot of fighting against Japan. But the whole weird situation with Russia and Japan suited us fairly well (Japan didn't interfere with our Lend-Lease shipping to Far East ports).

Before August 1945 American pilots who landed in the USSR after bombing runs in Japan because they were flying heavily damaged planes or ones low on fuel were stuck there, because the USSR was a neutral. But for a week in August 1945 there was SOME fighting done by the Soviets against Japan.

289 283 Khalkin Gol, (1939?)
“Border incidents” spanning July–August 1938
By the morning of 31 August, any Japanese remaining on Mongolian territory were either dead or prisoners. Of 60,000 troops trapped in the cauldron, 50,000 were later listed as killed, wounded and missing. Casualties in the veteran 23rd Division ran as high as 99 per cent. The Russians admitted casualties of 10,000 in killed and wounded throughout the campaign, but it seems likely that this was a considerable underestimate. The outnumbered Japanese Army Air Force claimed to have downed 1,200 Soviet planes (the Russian figure for their “kills” was 660) in the four months of hostilities, but in the days before instant close-support on the battlefield this could not sway the ground-fighting.

Now, on last day in August, Zhukov’s dog-tired, grimy tank crews stared east from the border they had regained, waiting for order to go on, while frantic Kwantung Army HQ scraped depots of Manchuria to find troops to stem what many feared would be a Red flood.

That order never came. ... autumn of 1939, Moscow & world had o, more urgent problems. Zhukov’s pincers met behind the Japanese
lines & Panzers rolled in Poland.

sommarnoje.jpg

@JamesLucasIT


This is not a photograph, and it's not an oil painting. It might be the most unbelievable watercolor ever made...

It's called Sommarnöje, which means something like Summer Delight, and Anders Zorn painted it in 1886. Look at the water, the gentle ripples, the reflections, the wet sheen of it, and then look at the two people, the fine detail of the wooden rowboat, the woman's white dress, the light on her face.

It has the near-photographic realism of an oil painting, and it was done in watercolor, a medium so unforgiving that a single wrong stroke ruins the entire piece.

Zorn painted this in the first summer of his marriage: the woman in white waiting on the pier is his new wife, Emma, whom he had married only months before. They had just come back from their honeymoon and were staying with her family at Dalarö near Stockholm, still looking for the home where they would spend their life. The man rowing toward her is their friend Carl Gustav Dahlström. It is a real moment from the happiest season of a young couple's life, caught and held forever.

In 2010 this single sheet of watercolor sold for twenty-six million Swedish kronor, over three million dollars, the highest price ever paid for a Swedish painting.

In his own lifetime, Zorn was celebrated above all for two things: his handling of light, and his ability to paint water. Sommarnöje is where you see exactly why...

26 Anders Zorn is the most kick-ass painter! Got to visit his house and museum in Sweden, and also saw a showing of his work in San Francisco's Legion Of Honor. While this watercolor is superb, the one I fell in love with is "The Thorn Bush" which is just as realistic. He was a contemporary of John Singer Sargent, whom he met while visiting America. Also famed for working with a limited palette, supposedly only using four colors, which I doubt was the case with every single one of his paintings. You know damn well he had ultramarine blue lurking in his studio at some point.

51 I sometime point this out on the art thread -- a lot of paintings are artists trying to capture the texture and light of different materials. This is why there are so many paintings of those shimmery silk gowns, or even curtains -- because they are challenging and fun to paint.

Same with sculpture -- it is often the artist trying to become the very best at showing water flowing over toes. or fabric draping from a shoulder, in marble.

This was all before photography. After photography artists spent their time painting stuff that wasn't there.

74 I've been enjoying the Big Bang spin-off Stuart Fails To Save the Universe. The premise is Sheldon, Leonard, and Howard build a machine to allow transportation between alternate universes. Stuart trips and breaks it causing Stuart, Kripke, Bert, and Denise to be cast into alternate universes. They try to fix the machine but even when it's operational, they don't know how to use it so they're constantly being thrown into other bizarre universes as they try to return to the real universe. Kind of a comedic Quantum Leap. Other Big Bang characters appear but are different. For example, Bernadette appears as an evil witch in a magic universe. Obviously, the humor is much broader than in BBT but I think it’s well written and funny.

91 Thanks to polynikes and tankascribe for their comments about Zorn's limited color palette. Looked up some articles about it. Several demonstrate the huge range of colors that can be made from those four colors. Simply amazing.

Glad tankascribe mentioned Zorn's The Thorn Bush, another watercolor as realistic as the one above. Glad I don't have to choose which I prefer, it would take a long time.

93 Just got home. Lucy the Fink has a follow up with the urgent care vet to see if her tail lump needs excising. It has not blown up again since the last round of draining and antibiotics. It went from the size of a ping pong ball to a small almond. No oozing or redness or warmth. Her appetite is back.

Hopefully we get the “let’s just keep an eye on it” instead of “I think this needs to be surgically removed.” Because that’s expensive. And I don’t want anyone cutting on my little Fink.


Sorry. But a little shout out to St Francis would be nice if you have a couple seconds or the inclination.

Thank

143 Astrology, Ouija, Tarot - they're just games (and pseudo-science, Astrology) with no inherent good or bad about them. What they do is focus the mind, and what that means depends on how they're used.

My first experience with Ouija, an older cousin was so obviously pushing the palette around on purpose (while denying doing so) that I thought, oh, so that's the trick. Decades later, with a trusted friend, I tried again. Neither of us had a goal or agenda, and the palette just wandered around aimlessly. I realized the wandering, as opposed to sitting still, was a product of our mutual muscle-reflex. Interesting, but not spooky in any way.

Now, of course, if some young teen girls in a dark room with candles flickering invoke some dark being, they may come up with dangerous and disturbing results (whether one of them is forcing answers or not). Like when throwing the Tarot, the "death" card comes up, and, by golly, by the voodoo power of suggestion, one of the girls does something stupid and dies. (The interpretation of the card by more careful folks is that it symbolizes end and renewal.)

Still wise not to tempt demons. Trust in God, but it's not a good idea to sit on a cliff edge.

“There shall not be found among you anyone who burns his son or his daughter as an offering, anyone who practices divination or tells fortunes or interprets omens, or a sorcerer or a charmer or a medium or a necromancer or one who inquires of the dead, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord.

Some people think. Some don't.😜

All manner of behaviors can leave minds open to messed-up mentality. The doors of perception are subjective, not inherent in some Milton Bradley toy.

I thought I saw an invisible ghost once (just go with it) and started to have a rising fear response. I reasoned that it might be a hallucination (most likely too much coffee), but, could be a demon, or an angel. From angels, there was nothing to fear (although, why do they always start with "fear not," eh?), and for demons I count on the shield of protective faith, thank you, Mr. Jesus. Get thee behind me, ugly one.

Fear and reason use different parts of the brain, and simple calm reasoning did not immediately quell the adrenaline rush of fear.

It was a very brief but educational experience.👻

175 anyone who practices divination or tells fortunes or interprets omens… Deut.

I never fooled with Ouija, save the two times I mentioned, and astrology was just amusing fantasy. But I did learn Tarot, and did readings for folks for a number of years. Long ago.

I never thought of it as divination or fortune-telling. It was just the chance positioning of cards in a layout. My favorite results where when someone would nod and say, that's so true, when I had no idea what it meant to them. I saw it helping people deal with their own lives and problems by holding up a kind of mirror. Nothing magical about it.

I was a professional: charged a quarter. Non-professionals shouldn't try these dangerous practices.

A few times, I used the cards to generate song lyrics. Inspirational, but I once created a song based on a milk carton label and another from just the name of the game of Risk™️, so, you get what you get from wherever.

Their aspens keep dying and are chopped down one by one. All connnected to a root system. The big one left a huge stump and it apparently drove him loco.

He started digging the stump about noon. Tried to hook it up to his SUV which did nothing. Now there is a tarp with dirt (he kept digging) and, oddly, a shop vac for the dirt.

One of the garage doors is wide open and both SUV's missing. We are unsure if he had a detour to the ED or what is going on. He may have started whacking at the roots and cut himself? Something ain't right. I guess we could close the garage door by dusk to help.

186 The Onogurs were a Turkic people who apparently inhabited Hungary between the disappearance of the Avars and the arrival of the Magyars. Confusingly, Hungary is a corruption of Onogur, not a derivation from the Huns who briefly inhabited the area before the Avars.

191 The NY Post has a story (and, unfortunately, photos, of the three hag juror uglies). I scanned it briefly.

They claim the prosecution was "harsh" as she was a good mother! Right, right, right. They "could find no witnesses to proclaim otherwise." Certainly the husband did this no favors as he was on the stand. It is possible he simply can't believe he married a demon or wanted to admit it.

She is a manipulator. I guess none of them thought of that one. Ted Bundy manipulated and was, for heaven's sake, once on a rape hotline or similar in Washington.

I feel a bit harsh towards Clancy I wish I never had to see her face again. I know it is beside the point but I hate her nose. Her eyes are dead and evil. Her skin has not recovered well from the asphalt roof skid or she started out that way.

However, they found Clancy's lawyer compassionate, kind and funny. Why would a defense lawyer at the murder trial of 3 children by their mother's exercise bands find any humor? I want to ask if they have children or grandchildren. Probably feed feral rats for pets.

More whining about the pills and she "snapped." Her tox screen showed below therapeutic levels & not contributing.

************************

The Onogurs had earlier lived around the Don and Volga rivers, until their polity was destroyed in the late-7th century by the Khazars. However, it wasn't until later that the Khazars (or at least their monarchy and nobility) converted to Judaism.

Gemini Rising: Lindsay Clancy's Ex-Husband Threatens Conspiracy Theorists With Defamation Lawsuits

geminileo.jpg


This is what Geminis do -- they kill, and then they sue.

That's #Science.


The ex-husband of Lindsey Clancy, Patrick Clancy, is threatening through his lawyer to pursue legal action against "so-called influencers" who have accused him of the killings and claimed he framed Lindsey Clancy for them.

Patrick Clancy's attorney, Howard Cooper, said in a statement that the "relentless, escalating and destructive defamation campaign" has harmed his client's reputation and livelihood, the New York Times reported.

....

While she admitted to carrying out the killings, she pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder, arguing that she had been experiencing postpartum psychosis and heard a voice commanding her to kill the children and herself. Her trial ended last week when the jury deadlocked.

Speaking of AWFULs: Trump has succeeded in pressuring the Woke Male Karen heading the Smithsonian to resign and take his "being on time and responsible for your own actions is white supremacy" fat ass with him.


Smithsonian Secretary Lonnie Bunch III on Tuesday announced that he would retire at the end of the war, the Washington Post reported.

His retirement comes amid pressure from the Trump administration, which has worked to revamp many of the Institute's museums and displays.

Why are AWFULs so awful?

On second thought, Clancy's POS lawyer is crazy like a fox. By publicly floating a pardon request that Trump cannot grant, the POS lawyer is telling all the Clancy crazy ladies to begin bombarding childless bull dyke MA Gov Maura Healey with requests and demands for a pardon. I have no idea what Healey sees as the pros and cons of pardoning Clancy.

Are any of these Karens going to offer her a good-paying job if she is released? Perhaps they could hire her as a nanny for their children?

She will need a job to afford housing, utilities, and food - all things which the taxpayer is currently providing her. And being a paraplegic, she will require special accommodations AND someone to take care of her additional needs.

What kind of social life will she have outside of the place she is currently housed in? Does she honestly think that any of her friends will want to be around her now? It's been 3 years - they have all moved on.

She is better off where she is, whether she thinks so or not.

85 Feminists wanted women to have access to the same high-paying jobs men had. Now that they've found out the price of holding those jobs. So, of course, the nature of the job must change so women can succeed.
Posted by: Hadrian the Seventh at September 08, 2026 06:46 PM (eRlcH)

Some of us women who got the high-paying jobs worked harder than the men did to get to the top of those jobs, and were still shit on in some sectors. You don't have to be a screeching idiot to want a decent job that uses one's mind to excel in, and be paid accordingly. But I can document that men who were just starting out in architecture were paid more than I was after 10 years of experience, and no failed projects.

Just because some imbeciles don't get that it takes hard work to get ahead doesn't mean the rest of us should suffer the kind of crap I put up with for years.

Most of that went away over the past 25 years or so, but no means all of it. Standing firm on professional ethics can get a woman accused of being a hysteric. That doesn't often happen to men.

152 I think about what Clancy’s life is going to look like. No matter what happens to her from a criminal justice standpoint, she’s going to be dependent on others for the rest of her life. That population is broken into 3 segments: one, those who are disgusted and revolted by her but who choke that down and deal with her as professionals; those who can’t do that and make their revulsion known to her; and those lunatics who actually identify and side with her. If there’s even the slightest glimmer of self-awareness in her, she would have to know that any time showed her anything approaching affection or warmth, that that person was likely just as much of a psychopath as she (Clancy) is. Not like that feels anything like full justice in this world, but never truly knowing a normal human connection ever again does seem like a kind of Hell to me…

Some do, some buy the kill-or-be-killed crap. Some women (this was in the 80's, in particular) thought they would be the only woman who would make it, so they did so over the bodies of any other women. Most of those found out the hard way that it wasn't worth it. They still had to use the ladies' room, just like the rest of us, and often they overheard.... well.... let's just say we weren't fooled.

I spent a lot of my career helping women figure out how to be proficient and professional. I never had any issues finding good people to work with. But those nasty grasping bitches? Somehow, they always ended up submarined in the end.

Quick Hits

The Supreme Court ruled 8-1 that the political parties also have the same right to reduced ad rates on television before an election that candidates do.

The one holdout? The one who isn't a biologist and also still wears a mask in public.

The Supreme Court on Friday lifted a ruling that prevented party committees from accessing cheaper advertising rates in the lead-up to November's elections, siding with Republicans, for now, in an emergency case that drew staunch Democratic opposition.

Federal law mandates that broadcast stations offer their lowest available rate in the 60 days preceding a general election. Everyone agrees candidates get the discount, but whether political parties and joint fundraising committees can, too, has come under question.

The court appeared to split 8-1, though the justices don't have to disclose their votes in emergency decisions publicly. The majority said that federal courts had no authority yet to intervene in the dispute.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, the court's junior liberal justice, publicly dissented. In a one-paragraph opinion, she explained the lower panel likely had authority to move ahead.

Republicans' Senate and House campaign arms -- boasting a cash advantage and backed by the Trump administration -- brought the fight to the Supreme Court after Democratic candidates sued to stop them from accessing the cheaper rate.

Democrats are suddenly suing to stop this because, of course, the RNC has a huge amount of money right now and the DNC is broke.

With the midterms less than a dozen weeks away, the Republican National Committee continues to boast a massive cash advantage over its Democratic counterpart, according to Federal Election Commission disclosures made by both committees on Wednesday.

The filings, which cover the month of July, show that the Democratic National Committee had about $16 million of cash on hand at the end of the month compared with the Republican National Committee's $130 million in cash.

The DNC also has $17.9 million in debts, though the committee has reduced its debts by roughly 3 percent from the $18.5 million in debts and obligations owed at the end of June.

The Democrats' fundraising arm has been mired in money issues for months: The Washington Post reported in July that though DNC Chair Ken Martin and allies expected Democratic victories and the approaching midterms to bring major donors back, that hasn't materialized.

Reporters use the label "far right" 3 to 14 times more often than "far left." The term implies that the parties opposing mass migration are undemocratic. In fact, they're winning elections. The real fascists are the ones censoring, banning, and prosecuting their enemies.

Michael Shellenberger

Political parties that oppose mass migration are "far-right," according to most of the mainstream news media.

The Associated Press reported on Sunday that "the far-right Alternative for Germany was projected to win a strong victory in a regional election," and characterized the party as "anti-migration and Russia-friendly."

Reuters called France's presidential front-runner the "far-right candidate Marine Le Pen." AP described Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni as "the head of a far-right party" who "backs curbing migration and promoting traditional values." Euronews labeled both her Brothers of Italy party and Matteo Salvini's League as "far-right."

Others describe Reform UK as a "far-right political party" and call its head, Nigel Farage, "leader of the far-right, anti-immigration party Reform UK."

The label implies that these parties are fascist, but by the standards of scholars who study fascism, they are not.

Roger Griffin, who wrote in 2020 that members of the International Association of Comparative Fascist Studies had "broadly adopted" his definition of fascism as "a revolutionary form of ultranationalism," and that "none of the leaders of illiberal democracies are actually fascist," and that the danger of parties like the Rassemblement National "is precisely that they are NOT fascist."

Tim Bale of Queen Mary University of London noted that the term "far right" is a "loaded, weaponised term" likely to "cause confusion and controversy in equal measure."

Even Gideon Rachman of the Financial Times, who is hostile to right-wing populists, admitted in 2024 that "if a party pushes policies that liberals regard as unpleasant, reactionary or even racist but does that within the framework of democratic politics and the rule of law, the term 'far right' may no longer be appropriate." And Rachman said Meloni "to date has looked like a relatively conventional conservative in power..."

Communists always lie. The first rule of Communist Club is denying the existence of Communist Club.

LA police decide to finally crack down on "teen takeovers" and illegal street racing.

Dozens of arrests were made and hundreds of citations were issued when the Los Angeles Police Department completed "Operation Street Sweeper" overnight, busting a Harbor Gateway street takeover.

A fleet of tow trucks and buses was called to the scene to arrest drivers and spectators and impound vehicles.

According to LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell, "Operation Street Sweeper" was planned ahead of time using intelligence gathering and drone technology that helped officers predict the locations of four separate street takeovers.

The operation conducted by LAPD's Street Racing Task Force culminated in a massive scene at the intersection of South Figueroa Street and West Alondra Boulevard around 2 a.m. LAPD said over 700 people were gathered for an illegal street takeover at the intersection.

More than 150 LAPD officers were deployed to the scene and surrounded the massive gathering, taking dozens of people into custody and citing hundreds more.

In total, McDonnell said 66 people were arrested for participating in or aiding in a street race or takeover. Three additional arrests were made: one for assaulting an officer, one for battery and one for obstructing or interfering with officers.

In addition to the nearly 70 arrests, 570 citations were issued, McDonnell said. Of those 570 citations, 442 were issued for being a spectator at a speed contest or exhibition of speed. An additional 128 citations were issued for juveniles who were out past the city of Los Angeles' 10 p.m. curfew for minors. McDonnell said the youngest person was just 11 years old.

Law enforcement impounded a total of 200 vehicles from the scene, and in the process of making arrests and issuing citations, McDonnell said seven firearms were recovered. Canisters of nitrous oxide were reportedly also recovered.


More: She's a "caregiver."

17 I think we're looking at the wrong underlying issue on this one. First off, the DNC may be showing a crappy balance, but democrat candidates are taking in a windfall. For all the Kabuki theater associated with ActBlu, their current records for 2026 show them setting fundraising records much higher than previous years (when we assumed, likely correctly that they were just laundering funds...taxpayer funds, for DNC candidates).

The lawsuit filed by the DNC to keep the RNC from receiving discounted air time is more likely to keep an advantage they have been exploiting. Ask yourself a simple question....

"Knowing the absolute bias of the media corporations relative to politics, do you really think they weren't handing the DNC discounted rates under the table and inflating RNC rates simultaneously?"

The SCOTUS ruling was less about expanding the definition...and more about the DNC keeping their unfair advantage.

Let's see. Yes, there were races going on, and speed exhibitions. Likely quite a few without valid licenses. Perhaps a spattering of stolen vehicles (or more than a smattering). Wreckless driving for a teen is a catalyst, but I expect it was the California law that states that a California license is probationary up until you turn 19 years old. And finally, teen curfew ....can't drive the thing if you aren't supposed to be there. And, since there were over 500 arrests, they can't just leave cars downtown...impound lot is a safety feature.

Bride of PI is currently teaching at a low-income Middle School.

She has now learned to identify early in the semester which parents always back the hoodlums and which parents support their child getting an education.

For the students of the latter group of parents, it is remarkably effective to say, "You haven't turned in any work this entire week and you have been disruptive in my classroom. Do I need to send another email to your mother?"

That results in good behavior and paperwork incoming.

Too bad only 20-30% of her students have that dynamic.

Tucker Carlson: Algebra Is a Jewish Plot to Confuse the Goys by Sticking Letters Into Math

Tucker Carlson used to posture as an intellectual. An intellectual who was not so far up his ass that he couldn't see practical reality or the real problems of citizens, but an intellectual nonetheless.

He never actually was an intellectual. But he did pose as one.

He's decided that Real Nationalist Socialism Populism requires its agitators to be dumb as Hasan Piker and now declares that nobody -- including engineers, pilots, ship captains, etc. -- really needs algebra.

It's a scam created by Jews to distract the goys while the Jews rule the world (without algebra, we assume).

Tucker Carlson has found a new hill to die on. Not only does he hate the Jews and blame Israel for every terrible thing that's happened on Earth, but he's now perplexed by the presence of letters in basic algebra.
Advertisement

In an interview released Monday, Carlson spent two hours talking to Jess Elofson, an artist, potter/ceramicist, welder, and Ford collector who lives on a farm in South Dakota. Why he deserved an interview is unclear, but the pair discussed art, beauty, politics, and, of course, why "You're good little goy slaves" if you think algebra has any real-world application. How did they come to that conclusion? Because Elofson claimed to have never used it in constructing a wood-fired kiln.

"Why does algebra put letters into numbers?" Carlson asked.

"I think just to f**k with you," Elofson said.

"So you deal with math in your job every day. You've already, I think, demonstrated your grasp of math is high"

"I mean, functional math. Yeah, yeah, for sure."

"Well, if you can build a wood-fired kiln, you understand math," Carlson said. "But you didn't add letters to numbers in the process of doing that?"

"That's the weirdest thing," Elofson replied. "Nowhere did I find any letters in my math to calculate the size and structural integrity of a cantonary arch. Isn't that weird? Oh, that was weird. Because every math teacher was always like, you need to know some algebra. I've yet to encounter a single person in my life that uses algebra."

"Actually?" Carlson asked.

"Have you?"

"Yeah, but I mean, I live in a fake world," the former Fox News host said.

"That's why you use fake math with letters. Congratulations to everybody out there in the matrix. Good job. You're good little goy slaves," Elofson said.

"That's amazing."

Of course, this is the man who claims to have the best interests of conservatism at heart, although he doesn't identify as one anymore, except when it's convenient.

Actually algebra was not invented by the Jews but by Tuq'r's fellow Muslims.

He only had a brief period of adequacy because of the utter wasteland that is mainstream "media". Imagine actually interviewing the Capitol Police chief about January 6 (something the bogus committee "investigating" it didn't do, incredibly). And so on.

But once he stopped letting his better guests just talk, well. That Vance is a friend with such a fucking cretin is no surprise, but still damning.

You didn't calculate the span, rise, and radius of the arch? You didn't calculate the sum of horizontal and vertical forces on the support blocks? You didn't calculate the compressive stress vs the allowable stress of the materials?

I have doubts you calculated the size and structural integrity of the arch if you didn't do those things.

Shouldn't that be catenary arch?

You didn't calculate the span, rise, and radius of the arch? You didn't calculate the sum of horizontal and vertical forces on the support blocks? You didn't calculate the compressive stress vs the allowable stress of the materials?

I have doubts you calculated the size and structural integrity of the arch if you didn't do those things.

I want to address this , since Vance used it to dodge the real issue, does Vance think that Carlson belongs in the Conservative, MAGA movement and does he think his good friend's ideas belong in the movement. Somebody should ask him. In fact, I think it's time JD Vance accepted Ben Shapiro's invite to interview him. He's been avoiding that particular interview for some reason.

It is true that most people won't use much of the math they learn in school, but there are reasons to study it anyway.

1) Train your brain for rigor. Few things make you think harder.
2) As a society, we need an educational filter for intelligence, and math is a good one. You should learn early on whether you're suited to STEM or something else.

148 Here's a contrived but somewhat realistic use for algebra that even Tucker could understand.

Say you're a shop owner who sells fruit. You have a cart you take to a nearby town to pick up your fruit.

Based on past experience, you know your cart can hold 500 bananas and 30 watermelons.
Also based on past experience, you know your cart can hold 300 bananas and 40 watermelons.

You find a pretty good deal on bananas and watermelons this time.

You want to buy 400 bananas and as many watermelons as you can.

Without breaking your cart, and without wasting your money by buying too few watermelons to fill your cart or so many you break your cart or are force to abandon some, how many can you buy?

Posted by: Puddleglum

"Goy" (plural "goyim") was the words used in Yiddish-speaking communities from the Middle Ages up[ through the 19th century to refer to anyone who wasn't Jewish. It wasn't originally derogatory, just a descriptive term to distinguish locals from outsiders. Every ethnicity and langauage groups has some kind of similar term. A good example of a similar terms was how Native Americans would refer to any outsider as "paleface."

But once the word "goy" arrived (along witht he rest of Yiddish) into an urban environment (specifically 19th century New York), and non-Jews heard it for the first time, they kind of took offense, feeling the term was exclusionary and demeaning. (Exactly how whites took offense at the originally non-derogatory term "paleface.")

Eventually, the word was burdened with negative connotations, such that anytime a Yiddish-speaker used it, it was deemed insulting.

Fast forward to the post-10/7 world, and now it is an adjective which means, "Inferior cultural artifacts devised by sneaky Jews to waste non-Jew's time."

Speaking with NBC10 Boston, the three women detailed the arguments they had with the one male juror who would not acquit.

One of the women, known only as juror two, told the outlet: 'He, I think got up to the cart [with the exhibits] once and then went back to his seat.

'He would not interact with us and try to understand. We read to him the definition of reasonable doubt.

'He said one day "why don't we have the judge read it again?", and we were like no we have it in front of us.'

One woman, the jury's foreperson, told the outlet: 'He had reasonable doubt. He admitted he had reasonable doubt.

'I started filling out the forms, I was so excited. There were three forms I had to fill out, and then he said "but I'm still not going to say she's not guilty."'

According to the trio, they argued so much with the man that the alternate jurors could hear them through a wall.

226 I sort of understood why I needed algebra for nursing. Not really, but I had to take it.

I remain in the dark why I needed physics. And at some point, for reasons unknown, I took and passed and hated zoology. I also took geology and don't remember why and liked it. I like rocks, fossils and stuff I find on beaches.

I had a lot of ology classes. Biology, anatomy and physiology obviously made sense with chemistry and organic chemistry for nursing.

The classes I hated the most were psych and I had at least 3 of those horrors.

I may use algebra and trig without knowing it but I consciously avoid them. Got into trig and made an A. It might have been from a concussion from basketball.

Our societal betters felating each other.

French filmmaker Florian Zeller has returned with a new feature, Bunker, starring Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem, which earned a 16-minute ovation this evening after its debut screening at the Venice Film Festival.

There was a very enthusiastic response to the movie in the room, with Cruz and Bardem sharing hugs during the applause and woos from the crowd. The 16-minute 30 second ovation takes it beyond the 14-minute ovation scored by Wild Horse Nine earlier in the festival and makes it one of the longest ever at the Venice Film Festival.

You’d both be using the same equations, which straddle the line between geo and trig.

I simply want her locked up with her tubes tied to never, ever be near a child again.

Unsure if prison would give her care as the nut house does. The fact that she picks and chooses what she eats shows a thought process. Is she paranoid or the food is not good enough? Apparently very little hygiene til they haul her off to the shower room. I guess she sits in her misery.

I don't want her out of the life she made for herself. She deserves nothing but having to be trapped in her own misery til her last breath.

I don't understand the mercy towards her when she showed none for her own children.

If she was that psycho her little self admission to a psych unit would have become her home for awhile. She manipulated them as well, I am positive of this,to be discharged after 5dys.

I hope there is not a trial but keeping her locked up for life. I am tired of seeing photos of her scowling profile as she creeps me out. So does her attorney...she picked someone just like her.

300 Do you really have to "really know math" to make a kiln?
-------
No. But you're going to need a lot of trial and error. Or access to the result of other people's trial and error.

And it's not as if building a kiln is the epitome of human achievement. People have done it for probably tens of thousands of years. If that's the most complex thing you'll ever want or need to do, sure, you can probably make a serviceable kiln without too much math. If you want to build something a bit more complex, like say a telephone system or a digital computing device, or a friggin' rocket ship, you're definitely going to need some advanced math. So enjoy your little wood-fired kiln while you depend on other people to bring you electricity and clean water so you don't die horribly like most of humanity throughout history.

342 Find x

This is how I wanted to answer all of the algebra quizzes from HS through college.

With the added twist of why do you care because I don't? Let x remain free!

I was an unruly student at times. On my first nursing psych quiz, and I hated it, I made an A. After a lot of moaning to anyone in the class, the professor and my bf/husband who'd try to explain it to me.

The professor smirked and announced I made the top grade and my classmates snarled at me. I continued to say I did not understand. The professor, who was also head of the nursing program, said, "That's because you are in a fugue state." I said I reckon so.

I hated clinicals the most. Totally worthless for me to pretend to do the bare minimum of nursing vs give me an infected incision to clean. Or post-op heart surgery. That I understood. I was nice but hopeless in psych nursing.

We had to go to a chronic nursing home for a month where the men fought over cig butts and the sad women rocked baby dolls.

We were supposed to figure out a "care plan." The best I could come up with, which we did not present to the instructor, was to divide the men into teams to see how many cig butts were won.

More Illegal Aliens Arrested for Doing That Thing That Never, Ever Happens

We're moving towards The Most Secure Elections in History, and the Democrats and the media (but I repeat myself) don't like it one bit.

Footage obtained by Fox News Digital shows federal agents executing a sweep linked to a multi-state Department of Justice (DOJ) probe that has resulted in criminal charges against individuals for illegal voting, falsifying citizenship status and other election fraud related charges in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Wisconsin.

The charges arrive as part of a highly publicized nationwide surge by the Trump administration to hunt down election-related crimes ahead of the 2026 midterms.

Over the past year, the Justice Department has filed lawsuits against nearly 30 states to force the surrender of confidential voter rolls, while simultaneously repurposing Homeland Security Investigations (HSI)--an agency historically focused on cartels and terrorism--to spearhead a search for unlawfully registered non-citizens.

"Despite the media and Democrats claiming it never happens, the evidence of non-citizens registering to vote in our elections continues to pile up," White House spokesperson Lauren Bis told Fox News Digital. "Any non-citizens found registering to vote and voting in our elections will be held accountable. Only Americans should be electing American leaders."

...

The Justice Department announced Friday that five people--including two illegal immigrants and two non-citizens with legal status--had been federally charged with unlawfully casting ballots, falsifying citizenship status, fraudulently registering to vote and aiding and abetting during the 2022 and 2024 elections.

Some of the arrestees, according to a DOJ press release, could face up to more than a decade in prison if found guilty of providing a false statement of citizenship in order to vote and other election fraud charges they are facing.

...


Meanwhile, Homeland Security announced earlier this summer that an audit of public voter rolls had identified more than 250,000 registered noncitizens in just four states: California, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Nevada.

Just days ago, internal directives revealed by CNN showed Homeland Security Investigations launching a coordinated "voter fraud surge" into nine key states--including Pennsylvania and Wisconsin--to hunt down non-citizens suspected of election interference. The handful of arrests announced Friday are among the latest enforcement actions.

Very related: An illegal alien and criminal kept taunting an ICE agent by texting him that he was going to vote Democrat in the election and strip him of power and immunity.

ICE arrested him.

@17QStorm


HE TEXTED ICE HE WAS VOTING DEMOCRAT IN THE MIDTERMS.

That's how they caught him.

Honduran noncitizen. California voter roll. Already on probation for blocking an ICE building -- then he kept texting the agent that he couldn't wait for November so their immunity would be gone.

"He had no fear whatsoever harassing an ICE agent, letting him know how he's planning to vote in the midterms and wants to take their immunity away."

"That, obviously, got the agent interested to see whether he WAS registered to vote. That's how he came on their radar."

Darwin Jonathan Rivera Flores checked the citizen box on November 4, 2025. Two felonies. Deportation if convicted.

Bill Essayli: first of many. California still won't audit the rolls.

========

I assume that illegals vote at about 6%. There was a study of the 2008 election that came to this conclusion.

I also assume it was that high because there was no real consequence for doing it.

In addition, many illegals probably thought that they were legally allowed to vote since they got registered.

I think the ICE effort this year and last year, combined with stories like this, will drive down that number significantly. I think it'll affect even legal immigrants who do have a right to vote. They'll just be too scared to try it.

Essentially, it'll depress their turnout beyond just those deported.

No, it doesn't addressed the dirty voter rolls issue, but if 6% of illegals are voting and there are tens of millions of them, and you dissuade them down to 5% while removing a bunch at the same time....that makes a difference.

He absolutely is not.

OBBB fully funded DHS through 2028, so deportations continue.

He has full control of the DOJ, so the legal side of his administration continues without pause.

He's still commander in chief, so he can just bomb Tehran to smithereens without Congressional say-so.

He just has to deal with some impeachment theater while still having full authority over directing funding in a shutdown should it come to that.

Fuck em. They can’t arrest an American exercising their vote.

The point is they would be arresting non-Americans trying to vote.

That LITERALLY DOES NOT HAPPEN. It’s pure propaganda bullshit. Almost all voter fraud cases in the last 10 years involve MAGA.

They've arrested people for driving near them, rammed skulls into the wall, arrested them IN COURT for immigration, in hospitals after crash but BEFORE receiving care, just "deported" a US citizen to Mexico...I don't really trust them at polling places

you can also do a citizen arrest on agents if they are commiting crimes. They're literally interfering with elections and trying to intimidate voters.

Attacking mail in voting and in person voting. It’s almost like the Trump administration hates voting.

80 A story a week in Philadelphia

Philadelphia Inquirer - A Guinean immigrant has lived in the U.S. legally for two decades. Unable to deport him to his homeland, ICE wants to send him to a third country. Sept 3, 2026

'He’s the epitome of who you would want to live in this country,' the man's attorney said in court.

In part, "In Guinea, a nation of 12 million people that’s roughly twice the size of Pennsylvania, Fadel Cherif was jailed by the government after protesting the results of his country’s 1998 presidential election, which was marred by irregularities. He later fled in fear of being rearrested, using a document that showed a different Guinean identity to enter the United States in New York in November 2003."
...

"Palladino said in an interview that Fadel Cherif is the main support for his wife, who has legal permanent residency, also known as a green card, and for their four American-born sons, including Abdoulaye, a Marines reservist."

President Trump Signs Order Extending National Security Emergency Order On Election Integrity to Prevent the Rigging of the 2026 Midterms By Foreign and Domestic Enemies

Your election just may be rigged if
-they have mail ballots
-no proof of identity
-it takes longer than 6 hours for elections to be tallied
-computers count the votes
-you get a fourth and fifth ballot for showing your Subway rewards card

130 At The Telegraph: "Time lords prepare to kick leap seconds into the next millennium."

Earth's rotational speed is changing, possibly soon resulting in a negative leap-second.

"Most digital architectures and network time servers are hardcoded under the assumption that leap seconds are strictly additive. [A negative leap-second] could trigger severe disruption across critical national infrastructure, including telecommunications, electricity grids, and satellite navigation systems,"

It's Y2K all over again. Somebody got stingy, didn't allocate enough bits to contain a proper time field. Except this time we don't even know when the problem hits exactly. The Time Lords have decided that if we can get it all fixed by 2035, we might be OK.

I don't know about other states but you can't vote here in Texas unless they scan your drivers license.

He did. And then he lived "legally" in the United States for nearly 20 years under a status known as "withholding of removal."

What is Withholding of Removal?
Withholding of removal is a specific form of immigration relief. It is different from standard asylum or a green card.
No Deportation to Home Country: The government promises not to send you back to a country where you face persecution or torture.
Work Authorization: People with this status can apply for a yearly work permit and get a social security number.
No Path to Citizenship: You cannot get a green card, become a U.S. citizen, or travel outside the United States.
Third-Country Risks: The government can legally try to deport you to a different third country if one accepts you, though doing so is rare.

And this is probably a bigger problem in the US than we realize.

Or, the entire antifa edifice is a web of NGOs that the Trump administration has been fighting and untangling for more than a year.

Most recent was NoBlogs being shut down (a centralized blogging software that antifa used) and an Italian server that was shut down tied to NoBlogs.

Along with actual convictions of antifa activists in the dozens of years because they tried terroristic violence and the feds have a lot of power to punish people for that because of stuff like the Patriot Act.

Actually going out there now to throw a Molotov cocktail at a cop car carries real risks in 2026 as opposed to 2020-2024. DOJ ain't fucking around.

274 the most amusing way to attack a leftist is to do it from the left.

One of the keys to understanding the left is that they live in fear and misery. Those shots of them screaming and crying and wailing in their cars etc, that's their life. They feel a huge burden of hopeless disaster, that they are fighting alone against the ultimate evil, that they are the rebels against the evil Empire, that they are the oppressed other skulking through ruins while being hunted by hateful puritans who want to lynch them while burning them in a church and chaining them to a sink barefoot and perpetually pregnant etc.

I grew up afraid of nuclear war, it genuinely affected my mood and hopes of the future: none. Finally I got over and but it was a dark veil over all of my life. I know what they feel like, and its pathetic.

277 It's the hallmark of the modern left, that they are offended that anyone would deign to use their own brain and cogitate, and utilize deductive or inductive reasoning. One might well arrive at the wrong conclusions, you see. This is not tolerable.

This is a huge change from even 20 or 25 years ago, maybe. You are allowed to choose sides, even encouraged. But you have to stay within the lines. Repeat slogans, thought ending cliches. Virtue signaling.

It is all very circular now, tautologies on steroids. "We're good people, because we believe the good things". And you're a bad person, who believes all the wrong things.

Now they also generally believe there is no such thing as objective reality or proofs. Everything is subjective. So they are reduced to claiming "There is no right or wrong." just different.

But they - surprise! - are always right, about everything. It's the amazing self-licking ice-cream cone. They've painted themselves into a corner long ago, and it's getting a lot less crowded in thar, because people reflexively cannot abide all those contradictions and absurdities. It will drive one crazy, which is probably the intent anyhow.

The Eternal Op Continues: "25 years after 9/11, many Muslims fear a new backlash"

The Real Victims of 9/11 were Muslims.

Just like the Real Victims of the conquests of Spain, Constantinople, and the Balkans were the Muslims.


The morning of Sept. 11, 2001, began like any other day. Sabinah Mohyuddin was getting her kids ready for school in Clarksville, Tennessee, while her husband, a cancer physician, was still asleep.

Then the first plane struck the north tower of the World Trade Center in New York City.

"I remember when it happened, because my husband always put his alarm to National Public Radio," she said. "He came running out shouting, 'Turn on the TV!'"

It wasn't clear whether the first strike was intentional. After dropping her kids off, Mohyuddin watched in horror as a second plane crashed into the south tower.

She and the rest of the nation waited in petrified anticipation for answers about who was behind the attack that killed nearly 3,000 people.

Then Mohyuddin, a Muslim, learned the hijakers also followed Islam.

"It fell on me like a heavy weight," she said. "What did this mean for the Muslim community? What did this mean for me?"

Making it all about you, and not even hiding it.


Now, 25 years after the attacks, Muslims across the country are asking the same question as they experience rising Islamophobia and concerns about their First Amendment right to religious freedom.

Over 40% of U.S. adults believe Muslims are less patriotic than other Americans and that Muslim Americans are having a negative impact on the country, according to a Pew Research Center survey conducted in May.

Obviously far-right racists. There is no reason to think that there is an intense anti-American, anti-Western, and anti-Jewish strain in Islam, except, you know, for all the terrorist attacks and constant verbal attacks on the west.

But other than that -- no evidence. Must be racism.


The stigmatization, often amplified by politicians, has affected everything from immigration statuses to due process rights and everyday religious practices. Muslim leaders and community members, in turn, told the USA TODAY Network they're left fighting to defend their faith and warning the nation that its founding principles are at stake.

"Being Muslim doesn't make me less American," Salam Jabaieh, a Muslim woman from Arizona, said. "Those things are part of who I am, and I shouldn't have to make myself less visible or less Muslim in order to prove I belong here."


In the days after 9/11, then-President George W. Bush made public statements defending Islam and differentiating the faith from the attack.

He quoted from the Quran and said "Islam is peace" during remarks at the Islamic Center of Washington, DC. Bush also met with Islamic leaders, including Nihad Awad, national executive director and co-founder of the Council on American-Islamic Relations. CAIR was established in 1994 and is the country's largest Muslim civil liberties organization.

Though Awad disagreed with many of Bush's policy positions, he told USA TODAY he saw "sincerity" and "openness" from Bush, a desire for unity amid the devastation.

But the violence that plagued Muslims and mosques in the days and years after 9/11 stood in stark contrast to those sentiments.

The first 9/11-linked hate crime came just a few days later, when an Arizona man murdered Balbir Singh Sodhi, a Sikh man who wore a turban the shooter interpreted as a sign he adhered to Islam. Muslims were killed in attacks that family members and advocacy groups tied to the spike in Islamophobia. A number of mosques were also burned to the ground or severely damaged in arson fires.

Note there are no numbers mentioned here. "Muslims" -- no number given -- "were killed in attacks." "A number of mosques" were damaged in fires.

How many?

Not many at all, or else you'd tell us the numbers.

By the way, a lot of churches are burning lately and the media doesn't seem to think that's a sign of rising ant-Christian animus.

Now comes the media's "Bush was a good man tryin' his best but Trump is a monster turn:"

But Muslim leaders described a notable shift when President Donald Trump launched his presidential campaign in 2015. He initiated what became known as the "Muslim ban" during his first term and has taken similar action since returning to office.

Federal authorities have arrested and sought to deport pro-Palestinian activists, actions that judges have deemed a First Amendment violation.

"Activists." Members of the Muslim Brotherhood openly calling for violence against Jews and Americans.


Some Republican leaders also have used rhetoric and pushed policies that have come under criticism by Muslim Americans and others. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott designated CAIR a terrorist group in 2025, which initially excluded a number of Islamic schools from a state-sponsored voucher program because of perceived affiliation with the organization, according to a lawsuit. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis also issued the designation, which a federal judge struck down in March.

Such action by governors has had a trickle-down effect on local municipalities and school boards, according to Adam Abutaa, of the Muslim civic engagement organization Emgage Florida. Muslim students are less likely to feel they can freely express themselves on their campuses or to their elected officials, he said.

Really? Muslims feel they can't fully express themselves on campus?

We've seen Jews beaten by Muslims on campus. They want to "express themselves" further than that?


Saajid Khan, a 21-year-old University of South Florida student, echoed those sentiments. He was one of several students who were praying in a parking garage on campus in November 2025 when several men disrupted them, shouting profanities and taunting them with bacon − a forbidden food in Islam. The men were later charged over the incident.

"I think there's a lot of propaganda pushed against Muslims, which leads to an unsafe environment," Khan said.

There's a single incident of Muslims being "taunted with bacon."

How many incidents are there of non-Muslims being taunted with bullets and explosives?

Stephen Kruiser:

The number of Americans who are dishonoring those killed by Islamic terrorists on Sept. 11, 2001 is tragic and abominable. This is from a VIP post Catherine wrote over the weekend:

My colleague Robert Spencer, an expert in Islamic history and modern jihad movements, says that there have been 49,000 Islamic jihad attacks since the 9/11 attacks in 2001. And yet only 25 years after those attacks, with nearly 50,000 terrorist incidents attributable to Islam in the time period, New York has a Muslim mayor and Americans in all 50 states claim to support Palestinian terrorists. We even have U.S. administrations funding jihadi regimes and removing terror designations from Syrian mass murderers. It's insane.

Insane and heartbreaking.

There was a brief time of unity back in 2001 that has been followed up by a quarter-century of American leftists being apologists for Islam. They're either rabid supporters of jihadi murderers or dealing with a case of mass denial the likes of which has never been seen in history. The leftists' responses to Islamic terror attacks have become routine sick jokes. We're constantly told that motives are "unclear" when "Allahu Akbar!" was the last thing people heard before they were killed. If you're sane and mention that there just might be a pattern, they all start barking "Timothy McVeigh" like trained seals.


I frequently write about the fact that American leftists live in an alternate, fictional reality. One of the biggest fictions that they peddle is that Islamic terrorism isn't a problem, but the white Christians are a powder keg that's ready to blow. It's wearisome and dangerous. When Democrats are in charge, they're never looking for the real bad guys.

In another VIP post from last weekend, Robert wrote about what we can expect from the lunatic left this week:


Friday, September 11 will be the 25th anniversary of the jihad attacks that took the lives of nearly 3,000 people in New York City, Washington, D.C., and Pennsylvania, and the far left's propaganda arm, the establishment media, is already hard at work repeating the lesson that leftists want us to take away from this grim milestone: It was all our fault. And now, "Islamophobia" is worse than ever, underscoring the left's second big takeaway from 9/11: Muslims were the real victims.

"It is today that he stands with people like Hassan Piker. It is today that he hires people like Ramzi Kassem. It is today that he stands with an imam that was a CO-CONSPIRATOR of the '93 bombing. THAT is what we object to."

The Catholic League President Bill Donohue just took NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani to the woodshed in front of a crowd...and it was BRUTAL.

Donohue said Mamdani is more concerned about "Islamophobia" than he is about the death of 3,000 innocent Americans.

Whoa.

DONOHUE: "Thank you, Bill Donohue, President of Catholic League."

"On that fateful day, 9/11, I looked out my window on 34th Street and 7th Avenue and saw the twin towers go down."

"I'm a veteran, United States veteran, I don't have a lot to say about Zohran Mamdani."

"He should not be here. I wrote him a letter on August 3rd...explaining why he is such a divisive figure."

"He said that 'something happened' on 9/11."

"I'll tell you what happened...radical Muslims came in here to bomb the United States of America."

"I don't say Muslims, because that's wrong. I'm talking about radical Muslims."

"He can't bring himself to say that!"

"He is more concerned about Islamophobia than he is the death of 3,000 people, innocent people, on that day."

"This man is a disgrace to veterans, and believe me, as a Catholic, we contacted NYPD, FDNY and Port Authority a year later...85 to 90% of first responders who were murdered, they were Catholic."

"And we stand with our Jewish brothers and sisters against the likes of Hasan Piker, who says nothing but good things about the Houthis, Hezbollah and Hamas."

"It's a disgrace!"

"Mamdani, do us all a favor and just stay home."

I would beg to differ. There is no such thing as secularism with Islam. Because of poorly understood and misinterpreted 1A rulings, Christians have had to erect a wall between the secular and the sacred. Islam is a religion/cult, a culture and more.

Eh, people vary in religious faith but any 'moderates' know that they are put on the death list if they speak out against the radicals. A far stronger version social and political ostracizing than the black community has had for not voting Democrat. And that is effective enough that blacks have voted 85-90 percent en bloc for Democrats since at least the LBJ era.

And Labour UK is finding out that when giving a choice between a full blown Muslim or one posing as a moderate candidate for Labour, Muslim majority districts will go for the uncloaked candidate.

Try putting gold against dollars for the last 30 years. Stash in the mattress. It's an alternative currency, or currency speculation, not an investment. A bet against the dollar, in historical terms. A losing bet for a long time, though not in recent decades. Dollar holders have been "lucky" for a long time, gold has been making record advances in other currencies for a very long time.

Dollars used to be the currency par excellence. Better than gold, really. I remember street vendors in Cambodia bitching at me because a $20 bill had a corner that was folded over. WTF? They like their US greenbacks nice and crisp and pristine.

Predicting the future is a tricky thing. Some of the Muzloids will be departing due to being here illegally. Some will commit crimes and be deported. Others will find out that when the welfare and Learing center money runs out, that their marginal competency for holding a janitorial position doesn't give them the standard of living they desire. And a lot hinges on 2028.

The card that Trump and Co are holding close to the chest is how much Qatar and Muzloid Muslim Brotherhood groups like CAIR, etc. have been doing illegal shit behind the scenes like buying influencers without undertaking the FARA limits and buying colleges.

I think the tide is running out in Diversity INC and that includes patience for foreign invaders of all sorts. The only question is whether it will be peaceable or violent.

81 9/11 had many victims that weren't in the towers:

Something that no one talks about: The 9/11 attacks destroyed public education in this country. Public education died 25 years ago.

Bush’s presidency before 9/11 was focused heavily on domestic policy, especially education. After 9/11, national security consumed the administration...9/11 helped create the bipartisan environment that passed NCLB, but the War on Terror eventually diverted enormous attention and resources away from domestic education policy.

NCLB put the onus of student achievement on the teacher. The tenet was that if teachers tailored the lesson well enough, all students could learn equally. It just doesn’t work like that. False premise, false promise.

Yes, but have you considered the effect on army recruitment if everyone was educated to a high standard and taught critical thinking skills and objective reasoning?

I would go a step further back than that and say Vietnam destroyed this country and education in this country Vietnam is where we started to become hyperpolarized hyper paranoid and then when 9/11 happened it kind of reactivate it all of that or accelerated it exponentially

95 > Try putting gold against dollars for the last 30 years. Stash in the mattress. It's an alternative currency, or currency speculation, not an investment.

Here's my problem with gold as an investment or even as a doomsday hedge. If you buy "gold" stocks, you're leaving money on the table. $10K in gold in 1996 leaves you with ~$115K today. S&P 500 has you closer to $211K with dividends reinvested.

If you're looking for a doomsday hedge, paper stocks are worthless. You have to have physical gold.

The problem with physical gold is cashing out. In a non-doomsday scenario, you have to deal with coin shops who aren't going to give you spot prices. You're getting significantly worse. In a doomsday scenario, who knows if gold is valued? Probably? I'd be willing to bet liquor and bullets would have better liquidity.

If you make it to the other side of doomsday and society recovers the gold will be valuable again. I think that's the best case scenario for gold. It's value-dense and easier to transport unless you have a lot of it.

See now, that really pisses me off. There was no Muslim ban. It never happened. Over 90% of Muslims worldwide were unaffected, because they don't live in the countries named.

So, Liberals, if Hakeem Jefferies tells you tomorrow he has passed an assault weapons ban. But, what passed exempts more than 90% of whatever qualifies as an assault rifle.

Then, clearly, Hypothetical Hakeem didn't ban assault weapons, and Trump didn't ban Muslims. It never happened.

108 It'll be funny if El-Sayed loses what Democrats previously consider to be a winnable race and the establishment starts making moves against the Islamization of the party, up to and including something like a primary challenge to Mamdani in 2029.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison

They won't blame Muslims....that would be racist. They'll say he was too extreme, and try to use it as an excuse to purge/stifle the openly radical Left wing of the party in their civil war.

Mamdani might not attend if he is publicly humiliated. People turning their backs on him in the midst of the ceremonies and having that portrayed on the media is a real possibility.

That will be fine. He'll get to play the victim card of anti-Muslim and racism, and his base will eat it up when a bunch of white people are photographed turning their backs on him.

110 On 9-11 the United States was attacked by islam. Don’t believe me. Believe the adherents of islam who helped plan and carry out the attack.

Believe their supporters who still continue to express they want to destroy us.

Believe the countless combatants we fought for the better part of 20 years.

Believe the people who have now occupied parts of our country, who want the same thing.

Today is just a different battle in the same was using new tactics.

Ive tried initiating various conversations w friends and family over the years (my three sisters are very overweight so Ive tried walking on eggshells) regarding the weight and general appearance of women today. I'm 60. I have a 20 year old college attending daughter who I half raised (divorced), she's very attractive, but wears the frumpy clothing of a homeless bum - baggy pants, shirts five sizes too large and struggles with slight weight gains at the butt and legs. So chicken or egg here - is it a matter of self esteem w women that causes the lack of care in how they look or is something going on w what women are ingesting that causes them to feel low esteem when they just can't keep up w weight gains etc?

I went to the in-laws. They were making chicken and I wanted burgers. I brought a ten pack of patties, cheese, and buns because I'm considerate. My wife didn't approve of the cheese I bought, so I bought another kind of cheese.

When it came time to make the burgers, I polled the crowd to see how many patties I needed to cook. I made exactly that number. Then when I told the crowd the burgers were ready, suddenly more people wanted burgers. I had to turn away some people and felt like a dick. I did let them know there were more patties, but they'd have to cook their own.

I know I could have cooked all the patties, but I didn't sign up for that. I just wanted my own burger. I feel like I went above and beyond by bringing and making extra.

Mega-master hearings where asylum claims are rejected by the dozen at a time combined with the removals of protected statuses has greatly increased the well of easy pickings for ICE and aligned police forces under 287g agreements.

Also, Treasury added a bunch of regulations and guidance about how banks are to treat people not here legally (as well as legally, but temporarily), effectively cutting many immigrants off from the financial system.

Also, OBBB ended a lot of welfare eligibility (takes effect Oct 1).

Unclear. There is some indications that due to police help with ICE in red states, that numbers are far greater than in blue states trying to keep those illegals present by any means possible.

So if you live in a blue state and/or some blue cities in the US, sucks to be you because your governments are trying to keep illegals here. If you live in a lot of redstates, they aren't. So those in California notice little if no improvement and those in somewhere like Alabama, substantial improvement.

In Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey, and D.C., the share of Muslim prisoners is around 20 percent or higher. (Stats were from back in 2019.)

Why Islam Grows Behind Bars. Conversions: A large number of individuals embrace Islam after entering the prison system, making it one of the fastest-growing faiths in correctional facilities.

Historical Roots: Pennsylvania has a deep history of organized Islamic groups—such as the Nation of Islam and local congregations connected to Philadelphia—influencing prison culture and community support for decades.

The enforcement is uneven because of the 287g agreement thing.

Texas has a bunch and local cops do most of the leg work. It's illegal according to state law for police to enter 287g agreements in Washington, Oregon, and California, as contrast.

Still, if cop meets guy, suspects illegal presence, he just checks, finds him illegal, and books him (impounding everything he has and putting it up for auction), waiting for ICE to come along and pick him up and deport him.

NC's legislature passed a law recently mandating that all local cops enter 287g agreements.

Anybody over about 195 who isn't muscle bound or an NFL linebacker or something like that. Sure there are individual differences but most people don't crack over 6 feet. I'm 5'14" myself. About 175 pounds, down from 250 in 2019, a banner year for me. Yes, I was fat. Porcine. It creeps up on ya. Just look at the charts.

Sedentariness isn't really an excuse either, but it is a factor on how many calories are necessary. But only a factor. And it isn't very many. This is the problem, someone can consume enough calories for the day merely by snacking, very quickly.

197 174 Unclear. There is some indications that due to police help with ICE in red states, that numbers are far greater than in blue states trying to keep those illegals present by any means possible.

So if you live in a blue state and/or some blue cities in the US, sucks to be you because your governments are trying to keep illegals here. If you live in a lot of redstates, they aren't. So those in California notice little if no improvement and those in somewhere like Alabama, substantial improvement.

Posted by: whig at September 08, 2026 03:11 PM (E4rtv)

========

Apparently rents are showing this.

Rents in places where local cops have 287g agreements are down something like 6%. Rents in places where cops don't have 287g agreements are up something like 4%.

There's definitely some self-sorting within the country going on, but if they're going to CA which allows illegals to enroll in CalAid, it's just going to make their budget issues that much worse that much faster.

And, as new ICE personnel ramp up from the OBBB hiring started at the beginning of the year, ICE will have more resources to look at blue states since red states are doing the ground work.

I think these are exactly the right questions. It's the answers you come up with that show your soul.

If you say, "They will claim they did it for Islam, but that's wrong. They shouldn't claim this because Islam shouldn't be pushing this stuff", then there's hope for your particular group of Muslims.

If you say, "It will all be lies because we never do that kind of stuff! It's always lies about Muslim terrorists!" then you're part of the problem. Either because you're an idiot who believes the taqqiya or because you spread the taqqiya.

Check out the demographics for Compton. In 1980, it was about 75% Black, 20% Hispanic, the remainder were White and Asian. 40 years later, it's now about 75% Hispanic, 25% Black, with virtually no Whites or Asians.

Why? Illegal alien Hispanics moving there was part of it, but in the early 2000s, there was a nasty underground racial war being fought in Compton by Black and Hispanic gangs that the Black population lost. They didn't just lose, they got their asses kicked. Ethnic cleansing in the US with not a single White face being involved.

Yeah, I think both sides tend to miss the mark on this one. Some people say nobody has any idea. Others say they know the exact date.

I believe the better interpretation is yes, we don't know the date or the hour, but we can watch the signs and know the season.

Which seems kind of Arian to me.

How do we explain the seeming contradiction of a Triune God with one of His Persons having more omniscience than the other two?

Different aspects. Remember that at the time Jesus said that, he was human and of the flesh. He had to be so he could die.

Using your argument, how could God die then and still be part of the triune. Neither the Holy Spirit nor the Lord can 'die' so how could Jesus if he was part of the triune.

If you assume different aspects of the triuine, then neither Jesus in the flesh who did not claim omniscience at that time nor his dying present a problem.

And time and again, we're treated to breathless editorials about why they hate us, and roots of terror, and compassionate conservatism, and invade the world, and invite the world - and that's the side that doesn't agitate actively against America, the West, and the Eternal Jew.

Insanity: Female Jurors Were Crazed With Anger as Judge Ruled Lindsay Clancy Trial a Mistrial
Update: Lawyer Wants Trump to Pardon> the Child Killer

Update: The evil defense attorney wants Trump to pardon Lindsay Clancy... for the state crimes of murdering her children.

Townhall.com
@townhallcom

Lindsay Clancy attorney Kevin Reddington making an appeal to Trump: "Mr. President, I would hope that you would consider, this young lady, the type of person she is, what she's been through, and consider a pardon."

Does that mean he's stupid? No, just evil. He knows Trump can't pardon his psychopath child-killer client. He's just trying to expand Lindsay Clancy's Cult of Murder so that the prosecutors feel pressured to drop the case or give her a sweetheart deal.

I missed this on Friday. Maybe you did too.

After the judge said he might declare a mistrial, he suspended the trial so that the insane defense attorney could appeal his ruling to not exclude one juror for being sane to the Massachusetts Supreme Court.

But that appeal was denied -- thank goodness -- and then he declared a mistrial.

Which the Pink Ladies on the jury -- ChristyBinky tells me that several of the women were wearing pink on the jury, which is the color Lindsay Clancy's supporters outside the courtroom were wearing -- were enraged by.

How the hell were they ever allowed on the jury, or allowed to remain on the jury?

This was the emergency appeal -- a claim that the lone male holdout was "biased" against the "disabled" because he wouldn't allow a triple-child-murderess walk free:

Jonathan Turley writes that the unethical defense lawyer put a target on the lone male holdout's back.

"I hope that guy can sleep well at night."

Those words from Kevin Reddington on the steps of the Plymouth, Massachusetts Courthouse were part of a diatribe against the "guy" who was reportedly the sole holdout in the Lindsay Clancy trial. The scene was a fitting end to a visceral trial, but it added a vindictive element that should prompt Judge William Sullivan to call out the seasoned defense attorney.

After declaring that the 11-1 mistrial was "no time to gloat," Reddington bragged repeatedly about "crushing" District Attorney Tim Cruz, whom he also attacked. He insisted that, in the trial, no one said a single negative thing about his client as a mother -- ignoring that little matter of the three young children whom she had strangled to death, one by one.

But it was his attack on the holdout juror that was a breathtaking abandonment of restraint and decency. Reddington knows it is very likely that the name of this juror (he has already been identified as one of only three males on the jury) will eventually be uncovered by Internet sleuths. He effectively put a target on the back of a juror who committed the unpardonable sin of not being convinced by his arguments.

The fact that this is one of the three male jurors only ramped up the rage. This case prompted a striking gender divide between men and women, with many women expressing sympathy for Clancy and anger at the system for failing her.

For Reddington and many viewers, the hung jury was less "Twelve Angry Men" and more like "One Angry Man." Indeed, in addition to attacking the juror, women outside of the courthouse heckled Cruz as he tried to speak to the press, shouting that he "only cares about the three children. What about the Mom?"

His appeal to the Massachusetts Supreme Court accused the lone male holdout of harboring a "bias" against mentally ill child-murderers.


Earlier in the day, Reddington had asked a Massachusetts Supreme Court justice for an emergency order to force Sullivan not to declare a mistrial, and instead to remove the holdout in favor of an alternate. It was an utterly meritless effort, but Reddington used the filing to further denounce the juror. He compared the juror's refusal to vote for his client as akin to leaving a racist on a jury. In this case, he suggested that the "guy" was a virtual anti-disability version of "Bull" Connor or some deranged "ableist."

Now he says he didn't intend to get this guy murdered, and in fact would defend his right to hold out.

Based on this, I think I can see what happened in the jury room: At least two of the female jurors were essentially crazed fans of the child-murderer. They probably harrangued the hold-outs (it is speculated that there had been more jurors for conviction, but they buckled and gave in to crazed peer pressure).

I can imagine these two harpies coming at this guy with full Social Justice Warrior spittle-spraying fury, and they guy trying to calm them down, saying something like "I can understand why you have doubts," and then them seizing, autistically, on that one "admission," and pestering the judge telling him "this (spit) man admitted there is room for doubt but he won't vote with us to acquit!"

29 Ace, I posted this earlier. You need yo look into it.
Most are getting 1 year including time served pre-trial.

Infanticide: Section 233 of the Criminal Codestates that a female commits infanticide if she causes the death of her newborn child by a wilful act or omission when her mind is disturbed as a result of the effects of giving birth. It is a law that is specific to women. It was added in 1948 because juries were refusing to convict mothers of murdering their own children and comes with less harsh sentencing. The penalty for infanticide is a maximum of five years imprisonment. There is no minimum penalty.

Yes, the prosecution lost the case with their own witnesses in their main case presentation. None of their witnesses believed the defendent was anything but a great woman, mother, and member of society.

It's an unwinnable case for a prosecution now.

As they often say, bad cases make bad laws. Bad cases apparently also make bad public discourse. No one can really discuss any of the issues about this case without litmus testing everything. And almost no one has actually read the court case testimony in full (which makes the discussion worse), but we are ready and willing to demonize the jurors both ways.

57 The amazing thing about the appeal is that the lawyer theorized that his client was insane and therefore not guilty. One juror did not agree; therefore that juror was discriminating against the insane because he did not agree with the lawyer's opinion.

Note how the appeal takes the lawyer's tactic and turns it into fact.

No, they won’t. I don’t think a lot of people, including you, realize the impact this has had on a lot of younger guys. Liberal women were already earning the label of being nuttier than squirrel shit. They have shit on a generation or two of men in every way they could. They’ve even shut men out of jobs once they consolidated corporate power. Younger men, at least many I know had enough of this shit and the feminization of everything. They used power like a weapon to destroy men, and now they’ve advance from baby murder to actual child murder.

I guarantee you a lot of men will never look at this generation of college educated liberal women, even any woman, the same way after this.

--

Almost exactly my thought. You are free to change your mind in deliberations. Per "12 Angry Men," saying at the outset that you have NO reasonable doubt is a position that can change. The opposite must therefore be true. After 36 hours of enduring these harpies' consideration of "evidence," some of it possibly not being introduced at trial since the jury wasn't sequestered, I could see my previously voiced reasonable doubt being wrenched 180 degrees, as would be my right.

145 This was the emergency appeal -- a claim that the lone male holdout was "biased" against the "disabled" because he wouldn't allow a triple-child-murderess walk free:

To be fair, I don't think that was the only claim. Even the Tweet you follow with says the appeal which includes Reddington accusing the lone holdout juror of being “biased” against those with “debilitating mental illness”, suggesting it was one of multiple basis for the request. My understanding was the other jurors complained to the judge that the holdout wasn't following the law/jury instructions. He said he had doubt, but wouldn't vote for acquittal. The obvious response (that the judge didn't mention) is that you're allowed to have doubt and still vote to convict...the question is whether the doubt rises to the level of REASONABLE doubt, which the jury note didn't specify, and only the individual juror can assess.

You don't do that if you want to convince people of the correctness of your version of the defendant's reasoning.

________

There is often no rhyme or reason as to why any event blows up into a huge story. As I said above, about 500 kids are murdered by their parents every year. So it's not a unique event.

But I think what propelled the Clancy murders into the forefront of news was:

1. Reasonably attractive, middle-class white family. Had Shaniqua in the ghetto or Bobbi Jo in the trailer park done the same thing, we most likely wouldn't have heard about it.

2. The case was relentlessly pushed on social media, on both sides of the case. It was like a cottage industry all by itself.

3. Related to #2, the biggest story about the trial became not the trial itself, but people's reactions to the trial, and what it said about them.

176 r/AskFeminists

Why is the Lindsay Clancy case getting so much attention when males killing their whole family happens daily?

they're so much more surprising and rare so people are fascinated (and men apparently like to use them as examples to scapegoat our entire gender). It's one of the ways it sucks to be a woman.

Court TV promoted the Clancy trial last year as one to watch.
We have to start looking harder at how media entities are making these choices.

Great point. Members of the media are a privileged class that have more power than us normies.

With all the discussion about women’s right to vote lately…. The misogynists are lapping it up

Because it triggered a huge debate between people who understand psychosis and people who have no idea what they’re talking about but feel very strongly about it.

Probably the Tiktok influence. Funny part is people and especially men making fun of those women on Tiktok for following the opinion of the majority while doing the same and getting on a hate bandwagon against Lindsay. Then people turning it into men vs women.

Why is the Lindsay Clancy case getting so much attention when males killing their whole family happens daily?


Because when males do it, we take 19 minutes to put them on death row. And then we end them.

John Battaglia killed his two daughters in a case forensic psychologists linked to psychosis stemming from bipolar disorder.

The jury took just 19 minutes to deliberate.

He was executed in Texas in 2018.

Yes. They did. They supported Smith even though it was obvious -- and proved at trial -- that she killed her kids in cold blood because her new boyfriend didn't want them.

But they did not support Chris Benoit. Nobody supported him. Had he not successfully committed suicide, he would have been easily convicted and probably sentenced to death.

218 Lindsaystans. I don't know who came up with that branding, but I love it. In fandoms, a 'Stan' is... here, I will leave the explanation to Brave AI, which told me things I didn't know when I went to pre-verify my understanding:

"In fandom culture, a stan is an extremely devoted, enthusiastic, or obsessive fan of a celebrity, artist, or public figure. While the term originated from Eminem’s 2000 song about a dangerously obsessed follower, modern usage has evolved to describe superfans who actively support, defend, and engage with their idol’s work, often blurring the line between intense admiration and unhealthy obsession.

"The term functions as both a noun (e.g., "I am a Taylor Swift stan") and a verb (e.g., "I stan this artist"), indicating a level of dedication that goes beyond casual fandom. Key characteristics include emotional investment, active participation in online communities (such as Stan Twitter), and a willingness to vigorously defend the idol against criticism. Although originally pejorative, it is now frequently worn as a badge of honor within fan communities to signify passionate loyalty and deep knowledge of the artist’s career."

234 That HollyMathNerd substack is worth a read.

Postpartum psychosis is very rare and typically shows up in the first three months. Her youngest was eight months. That's why they thought she might be bipolar, which would explain it, even though there was no diagnosis of that. The only voices she heard started when she statted killing the kids and ended when she was done. A shrink at the trial said it doesn't work like that. She called her husband back, either during or right after she killed the kids, and had a conversation with him. There are a lot of legitimate questions here.

It's a big deal because she was affluent,like her supporters. If she gets off, they might too.

As an expert opinion, it wouldn't be. But the basis of his lawsuit are allegations that the doctors fucked up and that led to his wife killing his kids.

Him testifying at her trial that it wasn't her fault is consistent with those allegations. It would be harder to prove those allegations if he's on record saying he thought she was fine.

287 As an expert opinion, it wouldn't be. But the basis of his lawsuit are allegations that the doctors fucked up and that led to his wife killing his kids.

Him testifying at her trial that it wasn't her fault is consistent with those allegations. It would be harder to prove those allegations if he's on record saying he thought she was fine.
Posted by: Elric The Blade

From what I heard from the trial, she never told any of her providers that she had any ideations of harming her children. As a nurse, she knew that they are mandated reporters and if she had told them that she had any thoughts of harming her kids, they would have to report it to authorities.

When it came time to make the burgers, I polled the crowd to see how many patties I needed to cook. I made exactly that number. Then when I told the crowd the burgers were ready, suddenly more people wanted burgers. I had to turn away some people and felt like a dick. I did let them know there were more patties, but they'd have to cook their own.

I know I could have cooked all the patties, but I didn't sign up for that. I just wanted my own burger. I feel like I went above and beyond by bringing and making extra.

==========
Usually retrials work to the defendant's advantage due to seeing the complete prosecution case. This one was a bit weird as Clancy used an affirmative defense that she was mentally ill at the time. And apparently it damn near worked.

So a retrial where she gets scrutinized by the prosecution in every little detail may go worse for her with a new jury. I also expect some pointed prosecution questions for prospective jurors that exclude those that are fascinated by real crime and/or idiotic feminist takes on child murder.

The prosecution also knows all of Reddington's tricks this time and are likely to counteract them.

Germany's Incompetent Chancellor Merz "Shocked" by AfD Winning Nearly an Outright Majority in Regional Elections in Saxony

I'm shocked that he's shocked.

Note that while Alternativ fur Deutschland won a near majority, the usual European "firewall" f*ckery will now ensue in which the Greens, communists, "center" left socialists, and moderate "right" parties will form an ungodly Frankenstein coalition to block AfD from governing Saxony-Anhalt.

AfD is only three seats away from an outright majority in Saxony-Anhalt, but right now, that three seats is enough to keep them out of power.

Or is it? A far-left party that supports both Russia and sealing the borders says it might join the AfD, and that small party's five seats would be enough for a majority.

Meanwhile, the moderate "right" party continues to unmask and shows that they'll align with the Greens, socialists, and communists rather than do the one thing the public is screaming for them to do, seal the f***ing borders already.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz doubled down Monday on pushing through unpopular reforms to Europe's largest economy after a far-right party surged to a landslide victory in a regional election, with a very good chance of forming the first far-right state government since the Nazi era.

Merz said his center-right Christian Democratic Union was "deeply shocked" by what he called "the most serious election defeat that the CDU has had for years, for decades." But he indicated that he's determined to stay at the helm and said that "giving up is not an option for me."

The anti-migration and Russia-friendly Alternative for Germany, or AfD, fell just short of a majority in Sunday's vote in Saxony-Anhalt, a small eastern state that gained outsized prominence as AfD eyed power there. Its regional branch is one of several considered a proven right-wing extremist group by Germany's domestic intelligence agency.

LOL. It's led by a lesbian who's married to a Sri Lankan.


AfD's victory is a major distraction for Germany and Merz at a time when Europe faces several challenges, including Russia's continued aggression against Ukraine, a suspected sabotage campaign targeting NATO countries, and difficult dealings with U.S. President Donald Trump.

It's a "distraction" from the Uniparty doing what the Uniparty wants to do against the wishes of the public.

Gee, sorry to "distract" you, Uniparty.


Merz said he wanted to assure Germany's allies that "our institutions are resilient and stable" and the country will stick to its values and constitution after the AfD win. "We know that Germany carries special responsibility because of its history," he said.

By refusing to even budge on unlimited mass migration, you are the ones guaranteeing that a truly "far right" party will eventually sweep into power.


Because of Germany's Nazi past, far-right movements have always come under strong scrutiny. Other major parties have refused to cooperate with AfD in a so-called "firewall." Unlike many countries in Europe, modern Germany hasn't yet had a far-right or right-wing populist party leading a national, state or major-city government.

Determination to continue reforms 'unbroken'

Merz vowed to weaken AfD before he came to power last year, but instead has seen the party's support increase.

The governing coalition of his Union bloc and the center-left Social Democrats has developed a reputation for squabbling and become deeply unpopular, as has Merz himself. The government has struggled to persuade voters that it can get the country's chronically sluggish economy moving, through potentially painful reforms, including to the pension system.

So far, this article has acknowledge the economy, unpopular "reforms," and Ukraine, but has completely suppressed the issue actually driving the election, unlimited mass migration.

...

Germany faces another two regional elections on Sept. 20 -- in Berlin and in another eastern state, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, where AfD is also strong.

...

AfD is three seats short of a majority. It could reach out to the hard-left BSW party, which won five seats. The two parties share a Russia-friendly course and oppose immigration but disagree on some other issues.

BSW has criticized the "firewall" against AfD and signaled again Monday that it could allow Siegmund to become governor by abstaining in a potential third round of voting for a new governor in the state legislature, in which a simple majority would suffice.

Record support for the "extreme far right" AfD. Did you know that 44% of Germany's voters are extreme far right? Must be true, all the media says so.

Germany's far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) won a record 44% in Saxony-Anhalt on Sunday, leaving a small party with seats that could determine whether it can lead the nation's first far-right state government since World War II.

Why it matters: Germany rebuilt its democracy after Nazi rule with unusually strong safeguards against extremism. AfD's breakthrough shows those barriers aren't stopping Europe's far right from becoming dominant electoral forces.

The latest: AfD more than doubled its 20.8% share in 2021, hitting its highest vote share ever in a state election and finishing ahead of the center-right CDU at 17%.

BSW, the party that hasn't ruled out working with the AfD, barely cleared the 5% threshold parties need for parliamentary representation.
Together, AfD and BSW would hold 43 seats, one more than a majority.
BSW, a populist party, combines far-left economics with far-right migration policies and calls for closer ties to Russia.


Send them home, is AfD's motto.

In an interview on German broadcaster ZDF, the AfD's national co-chair, Alice Weidel, advocated for closing Germany's borders and exiting Europe's Schengen treaty, saying, "Illegal migration, unchecked open borders, anyone can get in. Our internal security is suffering. People are honestly fed up with this situation."

Weidel added, "All Syrian refugees must have their protected status revoked because the reason for their flight no longer exists. These people must return to their homeland. If they don't leave voluntarily, then they must be deported by force."

Adding that many of the 1.3 million Syrians in Germany are being naturalized, "we must stop naturalizing these people who should actually be leaving our country. We have Islamization."

#Based.

In May 2025, Germany's Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV) classified the AfD as a "confirmed right-wing extremist" group, citing "anti-migrant positions and an ancestry-based definition of German identity." This past February, according to Deutsche Welle, that classification was put on hold by a German court after "Judges found that while there was evidence of potentially unconstitutional statements and policies within the AfD... it said that there was not sufficient evidence to characterize the party as a whole as extremist."

In other words, they're "far right" because they reject the idea that Germany should be made up primarily of Afghans, Syrians, Egyptians, and Nigerians. That's an "ethnically-based" idea of German identity, you see.


AfD attracted 42% of young voters and 40% of female voters of all ages, who are usually soft-headed and, how do I put this, dumb.

I cannot find a cite for this so take it with a grain of salt until confirmed.

I don't refuse, I keep it light
I take command of the scene
Because for me, there's no in-betweens

I keep holding on,
Holding on through the night

Cause it's so easy to forget
What you give is what you get
It's so easy to forget

79 You would think the Trump example would wake them up.

But the ruling class in EU decided that it is easier to demonize Trump than to admit they were wrong about fucking their countries with migrants.

Remigration is "Trumpian" so it must be stupid; Trump is stupid so his policies must be crazy.

Now some also feel like the USA tricked them into accepting migrants (by example with our loose border to Mexicans and by the M. E. wars.)

They hold to it with religious fervor. It's weird.

I occasionally reference the Italian Democrat Party. A real force in the country in the 2000s, they're essentially a rump party now (2nd overall in Parliament, but the 1st and 3rd largest coalition together, so the Democrats are a complete non-factor), and it aligns perfectly with their embrace of open borders.

They literally won't stop embracing it even as they get less and less powerful in the government every passing election.

88 "Hitler cozied up to Russia!"

I mean he did, from 39-41. He only felt comfortable invading Poland with the USSR as his ally.

Of course then he started preparing for war with the USSR while Stalin tried to negotiate a larger alliance with him.

You can easily imagine an alternate history where the USSR invades Iran/India as a German ally...before Hitler stabs him in the back later.

93 This is the big flaw in parliamentary systems -- they tend to move power toward a vague middle ground controlled by the elites. It is a consensus form of gov. the removes personality and individuals, preferring committees.

In the US system, there are two parties who have to stand for things. And they ultimately produce candidates who have to stand for things. That distinction follows through from the campaign to the decisions they make. In a parliamentary system small parties break out with very clear goal, but then they join in as a coalition where those very strong goal are completely ignored. It is like a safety valve to allow them to campaign on real issues and then stick the platform in a drawer to be ignored until next campaign.

I think a really big driver now is that all these migrants need services, and buy shit on Amazon or Aldi, and send kids to schools.... Everything paid by gov.

None of that is "productive" or wealth creating for the country, as it is pure consumption

The whole point of GDP is producing things not consuming. It says so right in the name.

Even just removing government spending, not making it negative, we haven't had positive economic growth since TARP.

That's of early last year. Don't know if things have changed. We have had several GDP reports where government spending was negative based on current measuring techniques.

What was completely normal and common sense 20 years ago (10 years ago, really) is now labeled as "far right" today. And yet the political left wants to think that it's everybody else who has been radicalized. It would be hilarious if it wasn't so darn scary.

A German commentator on BBC says:
a) it’s eastern Germany, which still hasn’t recovered economically from reunification, and
b) voters there are asking for economic answers, not complaining about migration.

Sounds like media running damage control. The voters are absolutely anti migration. Even women were voting afd

National socialism comes from Mussolini. He was a run of the mill socialist who then differed as to whether you could support your own country in WWI.

Prior to that the socialists argued that countries were bad and they needed world wide socialism (world wide here meaning the US, Anglosphere and Europe, not the 3rd world)

So Mussolini and later others like Hitler implemented socialism in their own countries. And the funny thing is all socialist systems end up doing this: Mao, Stalin or Pot etc

The tragic flaw in this plan is that the "compliant serfs" they are importing are nothing of the sort. The immigrant population from MENA sees themselves as CONQUERORS, not serfs.

The West Germans started bringing them in during the 1960s for labor.

There are so many Erdogan campaigned in Germany years ago just to get the expat vote.

So he opened the borders and let all the Syrians walk through Turkey.

228 Hitler was more focused on foreign conquest and getting rid of the Jews.

Before he became fuhrer Hitler's initial target was Jewish financiers. The argument was that "Jewish capitalism" was bad for Germany. He hated Jews as a whole and planned to do bad things to Jewish people collectively when he got the opportunity, but blaming their economic activity sold better when elective politics still mattered.

And yes if you substitute Jew for Musk right now you can hear the same arguments from the left...

Fascism is the development of the idea that if workers, bankers and those that own the means of production work together they can do greater things. In such the production of all industries are set up as cartels between money, labor and capital. This recreates the medieval guild structure.
Since all tend to cheat on each other, the government is brought in to mediate, and winds up being the main partner, and the main customer where it is not the main path that good get to market. In that path the government then dominates all industries.

Posted by: Deceesed Foosball Coach Schnellenberger at September 08, 2026 01:38 PM (r/N61)

278 The reasons the AfD is very bad news are several.

The most pressing one is the continued presence of Björn Höcke and his adherents. This guy openly admits to just that slightly bit misquoting banned NSDAP, SA and SS slogans for the purpose of trying force a free speech fight.

Björn Höcke however is merely the most visible sympton of a larger illness. And thankfully I can put it in terms easily understood for an american political audience:
You know how the Democrats in the US are being eaten from inside by the DSA? Björn Höcke is the most visible face of that, but from the actual far right direction.
The AfD started as a primarily euro-sceptic party and it was that platform that saw her first modest successes.
Then something happened that is almost automatic in german politics: It got flooded by new members. Being largely prior apolitical college professors at that time the then AfD leadership made a crucial mistake. It didn't know to vet the members.
This is a mistake in german politics because successful new parties attract parasites: Actualy far right members of micro parties that know they unelectable because there are too many damning quotes by their own leadership 1/??

Posted by: DoesNotMatter at September 08, 2026 03:03 PM (xlDu7)

279 out. We're talking "There was no holocaust" and such.
So those elements got in and normally a party dies there. The parasites can't help themselves, open their mouths, ordinary members flee in droves.
This also almost happened - most of the founding members left after losing internal power struggles. The difference here is two fold: One, disillusioned CDU and SPD members also joined the AfD and that tilted the balance enough that the parasites feel restrained. Two, it was about 2015 and the refugee crisis and the political handling of it really tilted parts of the electorate.
So the AfD could cling on until 2020 and, well, you know.

So that is reason 1 why the AfD ain't good news, it harbors some actual far right assholes.

Reason 2 is that there is unfortunate connections to the East. While most german politicians are deeply sceptical these days of russian claims, doing business in Russia etc. the AfD is a notable exception.

Reason 3 is that some of political promises the AfD are genuine violations of the german constitution. Stripping someones german citizenship by the state is banned at the constitutional level, in direct consequence from 1933-1945 abuses of that.
2/?

Posted by: DoesNotMatter at September 08, 2026 03:18 PM (xlDu7)

280 So the various noises the AfD makes how they want to solve some immigration related issues are almost always unconstitutional.

Personally however I see no chance of a non-AfD state government going the distance there.
Any coalition that has to rely on Die Grünen, Die Linke and BSW not flipping over the table over in retrospect trivial shit is doomed.
So there is probably a AfD state government there either now or in a few months after the next election. And it'll probably be Tim Walz or Gavin Newsom levels of fucked.
Because at the end of the day the AfD has very little actual proven to be able to govern candidates or business men willing to put their neck out to assemble a government out of.
Not being able to use another party as coalition partner slash meatshield for failures is not going to end well for them. 3/3

The Morning Rant

punk-monkey.jpg

Transfer payments? MORE transfer payments? That is the last thing on earth the United States of America needs, and for the administration to suggest more welfare -- because that is what it is -- suggests that they are unserious about the deficit and the debt.

And for JD Vance to spearhead this wrongheaded policy just adds fuel to the fire that he isn't quite the principled conservative that he would like us to see.

Welfare is a corrosive influence on a culture, even if its intent is in furtherance of conservative ideals: the nuclear family with one parent at home raising children. It expands the deep state by giving government officials control over the decisions of citizens, and it will never end. It distorts the economy by shifting reliance to government, and it impedes the creation of wealth by short-circuiting capital formation and flow, tamping down entrepreneurialism, and is wildly wasteful because it funnels cash through government, which is famously inefficient.

Trump Administration Floats Subsidizing Parents To Raise Children At Home

Officials are drafting a rule that would let married couples with one stay-at-home spouse tap federal child care subsidies, a priority of Vice President JD Vance, the New York Times reported. The plan would carve out a new category the draft calls "parent-based child care," letting one married parent draw assistance to care for their child while the other works at least 35 hours a week, according to the Times.

Hey JD...cut welfare, support strong voting security, continue the administration's work enforcing a strong border and tossing illegals out. No matter what your experience with multigenerational poverty, government is not the answer, and 60 years of Johnson's Great Society has shown us that in most cases, government is the cause!

Shrinking government is the best way to solidify the family in America. Give Americans more of their own money, and the problem will mostly be solved. Getting rid of many millions of illegals who hoover up housing stock and medical care and distort the labor market will pretty much finish the job. If America has it in itself to return to a saner culture, that is the way to give it a chance. More welfare will do the opposite.

And as long as I am giving Vance some advice...deal with your Tucker Carlson problem, or you are going to lose conservative support. The fact that you have not forcefully rejected Carlson's lunacy, which include attacks on President Trump and his policies, suggests that you are trying to please everyone, including Carlson's army of Pakistani bots and America-hating leftists who gobble up Carlson's nonsense.

That's a dangerous path, and one that might not work the way you want.

2 I don't agree with it but I can see the possible long term benefits.

You open up jobs in the economy formerly held by working moms and you have a child raised by a parent instead of the streets.

That said, I grew up with two parents working full time blue collar jobs and I turned out somewhat normal. My father wouldn't have taken a subsidy anyway.

14 Congress appropriates fund. The executive branch is legally bound to spend the money. However, they can makes some changes to where the money goes. That is all that is happening here.

>>The money would come from the Child Care and Development Fund, a roughly $12 billion program administered by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

See? All ready appropriated. If we want a cut in spending, and we do, it must come from congress.

Have a good day all.

Sir,

Last year we spent $100B on this program. The democrats wanted a $10B increase. We, the fiscally Conservative Party stood firm and only gave them an extra $9B. So as you see we actually cut $1B in spending.

JD actually gave a good response when he was doing the morning press briefing and someone asked him about Tucker. He basically said that he and Tucker disagree about a lot of things, but that he's not going to go down the leftist road of making everything about politics, so he's not going to "cancel" his friend Tucker over differing political views.

YMMV, but I thought that was a solid response.

He's shrinking it to the max degree that he can alone. Slashing regulations and canning federal workers is great.

But more requires Congress passing laws that repeal existing laws that established programs et al.

It's the same argument over visas. Trump is minimizing them as much as possible, but he can't end then. Congress has to do that.

Hell, maybe if the GOP keeps the House next year, some repeals may get through with a Senate that no longer includes Mitch, Cassidy, Cornyn, or Ernst.

I really like that idea. I thought there was an asian country where you don't pay income tax if you have so many kids. Which is how it should be so welfare leaches don't benefit since they don't work.

I'd also like homeschooling families to be paid directly out of general education funds. Make the schools compete for the dollars. Maybe we'll see less than 69 genders.

61 Women working from home is not just a choice, it is something that became obligatory in the early 70's. I remember when mom went back to work. She hadn't intended to do so until I was older, but it made sense because money was tight. It was tight for everyone.

Oddly it is still tight, the quote I saw is that salaries are not really keeping up to costs unless you start switching out cheaper food and supplies for what we used to get, and that is all shitified so we get to buy more when it breaks.
I don't see this as a subsidization of families, as it is the first step to supporting parents to have a single working parent and a stay at home mom.

We're not talking about 'differing political views' here. My late wife was a Democrat. I live in an uber-liberal town and have a number of Leftist friends just slightly to the right of Vladimir Lenin. We get along, usually steering clear of arguments, keeping it civil.

If Vance does win the primaries, I'll vote for him in the general with the same reluctance I felt when I voted for McCain. (Palin made it easier.) We simply can't lose this coming election.

If you needed another reminder of what a P.O.S. McCain became (or always was?), his and his family's post-election treatment of Palin was a disgrace. Maybe there was a legit reason to ban her from McCain's funeral. They never gave one. He's a P.O.S., the family isn't much better.

And never forget his role in the Keating Five scandal. The lone Republican among the group; makes you wonder if he actually ever was one.

Posted by: Sandy Cocazio Ortez at September 08, 2026 11:12 AM (U1NLK)

I don't know that he does but you don't know that he doesn't. Since people are saying that Vance is suspect merely for stating that he's friends with Carlson, not knowing isn't really an option. Political candidates should be forced to declare every person with whom they've ever interacted, from birth, and how they agree, or disagree, with their political opinions. Obviously.

Otherwise, this is just people trying to find an excuse to support one politician over another for a reason beyond "he's dreamy and from Florida".

80 We're not talking about 'differing political views' here. My late wife was a Democrat. I live in an uber-liberal town and have a number of Leftist friends just slightly to the right of Vladimir Lenin. We get along, usually steering clear of arguments, keeping it civil. However, if a life-long friend reveals to me that they believe an evil Zionist cabal owns the President and that friend further admits they secretly take payola from billionaires in Qatar, then that friend would no longer be my friend.

105 So many politicians are being cancelled for what they say, or not saying every thing demanded because of course failure to be perfect means they are not good at all. I remember when . . .

I remember John Cena being celebrated for saying the right things, until he didn't say all the right things while promoting his show in China He was cancelled, and that was celebrated because he was a coward who was being paid to promote a brand and WWE, and thought that was more important than being ideologically correct.

And now JD Vance, who was celebrated for his patriotism, his service, his family, his background, being Trump's VP, his faith and for saying the right things, and now, he won't say all the right things to satisfy you, so he is "untrustworthy" and "perhaps wrong for the job"

I hate that attack. "untrustworthy" is up there with "inappropriate". This is such a mind-op thing to say. It is really bitch move and and a female attack on character. It is so amorphous to be impossible to defend against.

It does have the benefit of turning all political discourse into a hostage video, or a maoist struggle session due to "political deviance" so that will be fun.

There have been rumors around JD for a long time that he is a Manchurian candidate. May be 2nd to Trump, but that his REAL handlers, Palpatine style, are working from the shadows. That if he became POTUS, he would cave to them and be as feckless as any of the other turncoat RINOS.

Playing footsies with Tucker doesn't help quell those rumors for me. But I also remember Reagan's commandment not to speak ill of another Republican, and maybe that's where JD is coming from. But Tucker isn't a republican, JD! He's a shill willing to sell his soul. Huge difference.

JD says all the right things very eloquently, and he is the Democrat's wet dream of a candidate that they wish they had, and are trying to find in degenerate lobster farmers. (Raised in poverty and worked hard, married to a beautiful successful minority woman, picture perfect family.) Love him and Marco, but both of them have at times been RINO adjacent.

Talk to your Congresscritter!

The federal leviathon has only grown for a century. Until the 80s, it was almost all by statute, and even statutory changes and additions kept going until about the middle of Obama's presidency (the ACA was the last major actual policy change passed by Congress, everything else has been arguments over levels of funding, though there were some policy changes in the OBBB, but that wasn't the overall point of it).

To undo it, requires a lot of...statutory language. From Congress.

And the easiest thing to criticize as a sidewalk supervisor is our awful political process. And that awful process is directly related to the US being a hegemon and wealthy.

I think it is more to the point that common wisdom of the crowds refuses to have key safety net items like Medicare and Social Security removed when it is apparent that the ruling class, corporate government contractors, and their pet immigrants are robbing this country blind. If Musk was correct, or even Bessent, approximately 800 billion to 1.5 trillion of the current budget is fraud, waste, and abuse of the spending process. And that leaves off state and local government fraud waste and abuse which is likely in the hundreds of billions of dollars range.

The ruling class is going to have to take a hit first by fraud, waste, and abuse like ngos, institutes, illegals, criminals, and other such bullshit first.

Congress cannot tell the executive branch how to spend the money in a program, only that the program must exist and what it does. Its a separation of powers issue. That's why the president is slashing departments like the DOE, because the law created the department and gave it goals and guidelines, but cannot tell the executive exactly how to run it or how many employees etc.

Mrs B's sister is a real piece of work in the best of time. Insufferable really. Covid drove her off the cliff and she gave Mrs B a raft of shit over all the hysterical overreactions. They didn't speak for about four years.

She recently called to visit with Mrs B. She never apologized really, but Mrs B took it as sign of admission she was a little wrong. Which is huge considering it's her.

Glenn Beck? He's a massive American History collection junkie. He's commented before that his wife has had concerns he'll spend all their money on buying up history. The plan is to one day build a massive museum for it all, I'm guessing in TX.

When the Tea Party thing was still kicking, he did a pop-up mini museum in SLC and I dragged my family to it. It was so cool. He had blocks of pressed tea original to the Boston Tea Party era, so you could see what the actual tea looked like that was thrown into the harbor. And the emancipated slave in chains iconic items that became popular for abolitionists to wear and put on pamphlets.

He bought up some documents coveted by libs, I think connected to Roe v Wade? Not to revere them, but to ensure they are not altered or destroyed by libs. Keep their vile history intact for the future to see.

Ian Lee, as Canada’s counter-tariffs hit: this isn’t a mood. It’s jobs.

~45,000 Canadian firms export to the U.S.; 30,000 export only there. $400B in sales, ~2 million jobs. “We are literally playing with fire.”

Sales collapse → “You lay off workers.” Ottawa can’t put them all on payroll

His fix: get back to the table. “I don’t accept the argument that we can’t negotiate.” Trump has done 19 deals since 2025. “Elbows up is an emotional response. That’s not a policy.”

Sovereignty demands? “That was a claim Canada made. I wasn’t in the room.” Greer denies it. Negotiate instead of walking away The real problem is older: “We should never have allowed ourselves to become so dependent. 71% of our exports go to the States.” Diversify later. Jobs first

I don't expect anyone to make a serious effort to repeal it, but out of all of the women in my circle of my close acquaintances, most had stated they'd nuke the 19th if you presented them a magical button to do so. The last couple of holdouts agreed agreed after this whole Clancy trial clusterfuck. This isn't men nagging them into it - I'm talking about unprompted declarations.

It is hard to overstate how furious these women are at feeling the need to take that position, but ... All of my people are escapees from blue shitholes, or have watched their institutions get razed by dangerhairs and cat ladies. And they've all watched these freaks try to go after their kids and flood our towns with criminals. They have a burning hatred for the AWFLs and the damage they've done.

Until then, the programs will exist with money that the executive must spend.

So, the only practical question is how should the administration spend the money?

272 my problem with the "repeal the 19th amendment" thing is that there are at least as many idiotic dudes out there who vote stupidly and are destroying our culture as women. The women only accomplish what they do because men either assist or step aside and let it happen.

You cannot condemn only women here. If we men would step up and show some leadership, if we would do the right thing instead of being lazy and cringy and simping, then both bad men and bad women would have less impact.

To be clear, *I* do not advocate repealing the 19th, but the position of the ladies I know that do is basically that regressing would be preferrable to progressing to 1917 v2.0. What the progs have in mind is far worse than any pre suffrage shittiness.

I think long term the AWFL problem can be fixed with sufficient -and extreme - social pressure. But the government and courts we have likely won't let us exert that pressure, at least not on this side of a massive seizure of violence that likely would not see many AWFL survivors anyways.

Every one loses money on cattle, I think a rancher gets 15 cents of the dollar paid for beef at the store.
The problem is the market is structured so the rancher has little say in how or what is done in raising beef, it is all directed by the slaughterhouses and the brokers who resell it.

Well don't assume all women are willing to be "led". I think the divide is very real. Its a cultural thing. A lot of people have no use for model that made western civilization possible. And some people flat out hate it. The counter narrative has been empowered by the media, and subsidized by social policy. Gigachads aren't going to deprogram that portion of society by themselves. The culture has to change and so does social policy.

Sure... but WHY can so many fewer families afford homes now?

That sort of imbalance was a lot more tenable when governments enforced order with strong arms and sharp things made of rare and expensive materials. With drones, guns, and explosives, not so much. Don't assume that sort of arrangement is stable.

Let's boil down most of this comment thread to the core issue: neurotic, mostly childless busybodies are threatening the families and livihoods of many millions of hardworking normies. That never ends well.

33 That's a very beautiful painting. I double-checked. It really is.

Art -related news from the BBC too.

Police are still searching for two suspects after millions of pounds worth of Renoir paintings were stolen from a museum on the French Riviera.

Here's what we know so far:

Shortly before 06:00 local time on Tuesday, thieves broke into the Renoir museum and stole four paintings, before abandoning two in the museum gardens as they fled
They were armed with a "knife and a hacksaw", and entered the museum grounds by cutting a hole through the fence, according to local mayor Bryan Masson

The sound of police sirens and the museum's alarms caused the thieves to rush from the scene

Police have cordoned off what appears to be the entry point to the heist

The two paintings that remain missing are: The portrait of Madame Colonna Romano (1910), and Jeune femme au puits (1886)

96 This is, to my eye, a typical William-Adolphe Bouguereau painting and that is high praise. The emotional intent is clear, the details of the persons (and lamb in this case) are natural and realistic while just a bit idealized. The skin tones are lovely. Think of this one in a nursery.

CBD,
Thanks. Any Bouguereau painting is a treat. I have a collection of his paintings on Kindle. I look through it on a ten inch tablet a couple of times a year.

Today we have a lot of good art but the reason we also have a lot of bad art is because artists want to stand out and separate themselves from everyone else. They want people to look at their paintings and say ' that painting has to be by X '

Left main landing gear also doesn't fully extend to the runway, or rather, the plane is tilted so it can't make contact with the runway.
Posted by: Martini Farmer at September 08, 2026 10:43 AM (2Cry5)

Storms in the area too, which is evident in the video. A strong inflow gust could have caused the delayed touchdown by floating the plane further down the runway. Or, it just came in too fast. Either way, the pilots botched the recovery.

Sure, run with that.

Or maybe the apparent fact that the aircraft crossed the numbers at around Vref+35 based upon ADS-B data instead of right at Vref caused the forever float.

(You want to be at Vref+10 on the approach, Vref crossing over the runway numbers and Vref -10 in the round out).

The Morning Report — 9/ 8 /26

GreasingNewsom.jpg

Good morning kids. Hope you all had a relaxing Labor Day holiday... With that in mind,I give you the always inspiring words of the great Ronald Reagan on his final Labor Day in office back in September of 1988.

We salute working people because they have built our land with skill, energy, and resourcefulness, transforming raw materials into a shining edifice of freedom and prosperity. On Labor Day we recognize these achievements and reflect on the meaning and dignity of work and on the values it protects and strengthens — the values we as a nation hold most dear.. . Let us always remember that so much of what we are, we owe to working men and women.

Today, in spite of everything, we have some outstanding economic news that the Commie propagandists are doing their best to suppress. First, wow!


American manufacturing is on the rebound — and that good news could hardly come at a better time for President Donald Trump, as Republicans gird themselves for the midterm elections just two months from now.

Manufacturing isn’t the only sector that’s on a hiring spree; businesses across the board added 162,000 new jobs in August.

Even The New York Times called the latest employment numbers “zesty.”

The paper quoted T. Rowe Price’s chief US economist, Blerina Uruci: “It’s a very good report . . . And it perhaps shows that financial conditions more broadly are not that tight.”

The workforce participation rate rose as well — which matters, because people who drop out of the labor force are invisible in unemployment rates that only count those who are looking for work... Establishment economists predicted none of this.

You can bet your sweet ass they didn't, and you can bet they were rooting for our economy to completely collapse. And yet we also have this to cheer about:


The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday night that the analysis shows an extremely strong job market for those between 22 and 34 years of age without diplomas from a higher education institution. . . The historically low unemployment rate among this demographic, which rivals lows since 2003, breaks with the rates of unemployment among college-educated peers in the same age window, per the analysis . . .The report comes days after an extremely strong jobs report on Friday, with the United States adding 162,000 jobs in August with unemployment holding at 4.1 percent, the same rate as in July. The report blew past economists’ forecast of just 55,000 jobs and an uptick in unemployment to 4.2 percent.


And with that we have the forces of darkness and evil in the form of the Democrat Party ready as they have been for 200 years set to strike:

After watching Zohran Mamdani upset Andrew Cuomo in last year’s mayoral race, both radicals and relative moderates alike took the hint: Voters are desperate for candidates who speak to the frustration they feel at the gas pump, in the grocery line and after every utility payment. . . Embattled Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer won’t shut up about his conference’s “affordability agenda,” and the progressive caucus in the House is pitching itself using the exact same phrase. “Democrats in Key Senate Races Campaign on Addressing GOP Affordability Crisis, Bringing Down Costs, and Making Life Easier,” crowed the wordy headline of a Democrat Senatorial Campaign Committee press release issued on Friday.

In the opening months of their reign, they swiped taxpayers’ credit card for $1.9 trillion. So they swiped again, this time running up a tab of well over $700 billion for what they dubbed the “Inflation Reduction Act.”That’s right, they dumped almost $3 trillion in cold hard cash into the economy under the supposition that would make everyone’s dollar go further.

Supply and demand: What is it? . . . Dismissing them as a hoax is folly. But they’d be well within their rights to remind Americans that Democrats’ only real interest in “affordability” is as a cynical slogan. And that all of their actual ideas undermine it in practice.

Don't be fooled by the feud between the alleged Moderates and the DSA. None of it is about policy. It's about control of the Democrat Party as well as how best to bamboozle the American people into thinking they have their and America's best interests at heart, and not the dismantling of America as founded and replacing it with a degenerate Socialist shit hole as was the fate of much of Europe and the world post the Second World War. Yeah, we won the war but the peace, not so much.

And so now, here's greasy Greaseball Newsom, the likely Democrat nominee for 2028:

Co-host Amna Nawaz asked, “So, let me ask you about how Democrats can win back control of Congress, because it’s been a pretty revealing primary season for the party, right? A reckoning, some have called it, too. You saw how many wins DSA candidates, Democratic Socialist candidates, were able to win, Donavan McKinney in Michigan, Chris Rabb in Pennsylvania, Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan, he doesn’t identify as DSA, but was sort of aligned with them. If you have these candidates and this platform that is clearly animating the base, energizing turnout, should more of those ideas be worked into the broader Democratic platform?” Nawaz then cut in to say, “But there seems to be a little distance between some leadership and those DSA candidates.”

Newsom responded, “But not the ideas. We want — I believe in universal healthcare, and I believe in Medicare for All. The party does overwhelmingly, you poll people in the party. So, if it’s about more money in your pocket, lowering costs, it’s about getting money out of politics, and it’s about Medicare for All, I think we’re pretty aligned. It’s about recognizing that we’ve got a planet that is getting hotter and drier, and that we’ve got to address the issue of climate change, and we want energy security, and we want to move off fossil fuels. That’s a DSA position. That’s a mainstream position within the Democratic Party. So, I think, in many ways — it’s just a label. And it’s a familiar — forgive me, you’re talking to the wrong person, it’s such a familiar label to me. We called them progressives. It was the Green Party. I ran against the Green Party. It sounded — the exact same platform 20 years ago, maybe it’s because I’m from the Bay Area, maybe it’s because I’m from California. And I think it’s healthy. I just think it’s — I’m not consumed by this.

And he's supposedly mainstream and moderate. They're all scum, criminals, vermin and tyrants. Poor Ronald Reagan is rolling in his grave. And if we're not careful, we'll be spinning right along with him as the last tiny vestiges of America as founded are utterly annihilated.

On that positive note, I bid you all to . . .

Have a good day.

22 Voters are desperate for candidates who speak to the frustration they feel at the gas pump, in the grocery line and after every utility payment. .

Obama: "Under my policies, energy prices will necessarily increase". (referring to shutting down Big Coal).

Europe: Lets shut down all oil and gas production in the North Sea and see what happens. And while we are at it, destroy our agricultural economy.

AI Data Centers = Bad
80 million illegal aliens = Good.

And lets not forget, Ukraine and Russia, #1 and #2 in wheat and grain exporters, are busy destroying each other's ability to feed the world.

So the guy who made the US energy independent, has worked to stop the Eastern European war, and has gone after the food cartels is the guy to blame, and we need to return to power those who brought us all of these problems.

So the Iranians have absolutely nothing to do with $94/g oil.

Neither does the war in Ukraine/Russia (aka Gas Station with nuclear weapons)

Or Canada, Australia and Western Europe's Green Policies that have crushed their own oil and gas business?

Or Florida and California refusing to allow any recovery of oil off their own coasts

Bernie's sided with the DSA, while Schumer represents the "traditional" Democrats who talk a lot about socialism but are only really interested in making themselves rich at taxpayer expense.

I voted for Cruz in '16, but I simply don't believe he has the star power to attract enough voters in quantities that can overcome the freight train of fraud and lies that will descend on him. We still have a bit of time, but I'm putting Rubio ahead at the moment. I'd also go for Bessent if necessary. Maybe there's a dark horse out there yet to reveal himself, but suffice it to say that Vance has really disappointed me. If you can't disavow a nutjob like Carlson, you've got some major problems.

The Arby's manager girl told me about her senior class's little act of rebellion. There's a tall white plaster statue of Mother Mary that faces the avenue. She and her fellow classmates rigged up a giant can of Budweiser, red and white, and a gigantic cigarette, and taped one to each of her hands. Visible from the avenue a good distance away.

She managed to graduate and go on to college, so I suspect the admin never found out who had done it.

That's an interesting phenomenon in the tech industry now. Entry-level hiring is down, allegedly due to AI but actually due to H1B restrictions, and senior people can't get hired because of DEI, so your best bet is to be middle of the road.

The Catholic schoolgirl look has never turned me on particularly. But when I first dated the future Mrs. Wolfus No. 2, she occasionally wore a plaid skirt like that. She'd graduated from a public high school the year before, so it wasn't her uniform; it must have been a conscious fashion choice. I thought it pretty damn nice.

Miklos said: "a high school diploma seems like it might be worth something"

Maybe we both need algebra refresher courses because the high school diploma added no value.

Lets say I need to move a trailer full of stuff. The freight logistics guy sees a domestic with a HS diploma, and a foreigner with jungle smarts and chooses the latter. The HS diploma adds zero value because the employer calculated the risks of having an illiterate illegal alien potentially ruining his business or the domestic with a HS diploma doing same.

The HS diploma added no value over the evaluation of the risk.

Actually it was extremely impressive. First thing you get wrong - it was 10 fully functional mines mixed in with 190 decoys, which could not be proven to be decoys until someone checked them out.

Second, it was in a relatively large body of water, hundred of square miles, and the entire operation was carried out under the constant threat of drone and missile fire.

Third, due to the threat of drone and missile fire the entire operation was carried out under water, with submersible vehicles and men in scuba gear. Nothing like that has ever been done on this scale before.

So yes, it was extremely impressive.

214 Oh JD, I'm not sure what to think, other than I refuse to condemn him just for not condemning Tucker loudly and at length.

I can easily envision him doing the embarassed "oh not again Tucker" in his head as he tries to pretend to himself that his once-friend is his still-friend.

I've known plenty of people who can't quite bring themselves to completely disassociate from someone who seems hell-bent on rushing down the path to perdition.

And if it weren't for those past ties, it would smack very loudly of "Why did you only denounce David Duke's endorsement three times? Why not three hundred? Why not three million?"

215 Eight hours of the best of Trek for the 60th anniversary!

My oldest buddy, who got me into ST fandom, told me of watching the very first episode. He'd seen promos, and expected the ship to land as in Forbidden Planet and every other SF movie up to then. Instead, there's this shimmering, and Kirk, McCoy, and the first security guard to get scragged in the course of the series materialize on the planet surface. Blew his mind.

The GOP has more than $100 million more in ad buys reserved through the end of the election cycle, and their sudden purchasing of ad space was not matched by Democrats who have been burning through cash in July and August.

Ads are of limited value themselves, but the numbers are a useful indicator in terms of overall energy.

The tens of millions Talarico spent in July and August to "define" himself are going to be completely undone by a fraction of the amount of ads that include him talking crazy shit in September.

It'd be nice if they'd hold off trying to convince us that their preference is inevitable and the only correct choice at least until Vance and Rubio announce that they're running against each other but it is what it is.

It was so different from most soap operas then (and maybe now?) that it was a shock. Most TV shows then, if they dealt with the supernatural, always explained it as some hoax by the villains. The supernatural was never taken to be real. DS took that route, opening the way for Ghostbusters, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and more I can't think of.

Roddenberry had a pilot called Spectre, with an occult detective duo similar to Holmes and Watson, in which the supernatural was boldly declared to be real. Robert Culp and Gig Young were the leads.

297 Well, IDK. The WSJ just told me the senate is all but lost and the only reason the GOP will win two of the seats is because it fielded “moderate” candidates. They bleat that with Trump at 39% approval, an economy that’s good on numbers but hasn’t translated into gains for individuals and the high price of gas Democrats will probably sweep the senate and House, despite any funding advantage. Those factors will all combine into victory for Democrats who got us into this economic mess, used the government against the people, trampled the Bill of Rights and now has added socialism as a goal.

You see, they reason, the extremists in the Democrat Party are outliers, and don’t represent the mainstream, who BTW did all the thing I just mentioned plus impeached Trump, which he “mainstream” says they will do again. Right after they eliminate ICE, restore funding for frauds, and stack the Supreme Court.

Un-freaking-real. He can't be serious.

"I'd like to say that perhaps Donald Trump, who felt compelled to speak out about this case, Mr. President, I hope you'd consider this young lady, the type of person she is...and consider a pardon."

Trump CLEARLY said Clancy did a "horrible thing" and must face "consequences"

It's also a STATE case, not federal. A pardon would be merely symbolic.

308 I know we have all had enough of the Lindsay Clancy trial, but this was brought to my attention concerning Canada. They are getting right around a year with credit goe time locked up pre-trial.

Infanticide: Section 233 of the Criminal Codestates that a female commits infanticide if she causes the death of her newborn child by a wilful act or omission when her mind is disturbed as a result of the effects of giving birth. It is a law that is specific to women. It was added in 1948 because juries were refusing to convict mothers of murdering their own children and comes with less harsh sentencing. The penalty for infanticide is a maximum of five years imprisonment. There is no minimum penalty.

The story of polling this cycle, as emphasized by the Hong polling, was how badly polling firms are missing the white vote.

Vastly oversampling white college educated voters in urban areas and vastly undersampling white non-college educated voters in rural areas.

It happened in the WI governor's primary, it happened in the TX GOP primary race. These small firms with no track records are, if they're going any polling at all, are essentially running online, opt-in polling which vastly favors Democrats because of that demographic issue.

If turnout is unnaturally low, these things could be right because rural whites tend to not show up in greater numbers in lower turnout elections. But if turnout is going to be in line with, you know, major senate elections, then these polls are all wrong.

This is where you can prove that the Texas “polls” are idiotic propaganda pieces and nothing more.

A totally generic backbencher with a Hispanic name that no one has ever heard of, with no money and running a non campaign.

Oh sure, Abbott could lose. Uh huh. In three previous Governor’s races, Abbott has always gotten between 57% and 63% of the vote. He’ll be in that range again, and any poll that does not reflect that is garbage.

I was in Atlanta over the weekend.

Ads aren't everything by a long shot, but it really feels like Ossoff is playing prevent defense.

363 About the DSA and the radicalization of the D party.

Mamdani, AOC and Bernie are the public face of the Democratic Socialists of America. Its roots go back to the 1970s with founder Michael Harrington's plans to take over the Democratic party from within when he concluded that independent socialist parties could never win on their own. The idea was to organize as nominal Democrats to win at the local level and then metastasize.

AOC has always been DSA. She won a literal DSA beauty contest to get their backing to win her seat in 2018. She was a dues paying member at the time but went on the down low after she took her seat. Now she's publicly declaring her allegiance. 

Mamdami adds Islam to the bitch's brew.

Secret? Tucker recently purchased a residence in Qatar and visits there often.

Tucker meets in private with leading members of the Qatari government quite often. Not illegal, but don’t pretend it doesn’t happen.

I do think Cooper should be considered the underdog in NC.

Early voting numbers have started, and it's currently about 20 points more Republican on balance compared to 2022 and about 6 points more Democrat than 2024 on balance.

Trump won NC by 3 in 2024.

Whatley doesn't have any baggage like Robinson did for the governor's race, so the senate race should closely reflect the presidential race in 2024.

It's actually easy.

He was a milquetoast Democrat white guy who wasn't allowed to govern like a Democrat because he was up against clear majorities (and even supermajorities) of Republicans in the legislature.

So, he gets sound bites and decent governance.

However, he shit the bed on the governance part by the end (Helene response...Western NC is still pissy about this for good reason, and the releasing of a bunch of criminals).

I finally saw a pro-Cooper ad recently, and it might be one of the worst things I've seen.

Whatley's been hammering him because of the criminal thing, and Cooper's ad says, "He blamed me for this one in SC that I had nothing to do with!" It's like half the ad. He's highlighting his opponent's own message against him. It's so awful. Practically "I'm not a witch" territory.

443 "Trump’s Orders On Ranchers Might Be A Badly Needed Step In The Right Direction"
- - - - - -
Left unsaid in a lot of the current articles that I've tried to find so far is that the current beef shortage, which leads to high prices, was another victim of COVID-19.

With the COVID shutdown in early 2020, the meat processing plants weren't running. So ranchers and other animal farmers had a high supply of raw animals, but no way to process them so they could be sold. And the animals were expensive to maintain, so they just killed and wasted everything to keep costs down.

I found one example article from April 2020 about the issue "Farmed Animals Culled En Masse as COVID-19 Outbreaks Halt Meat and Dairy Production" at "sentient media.org" (actual URL posting was blocked). But no mention these days; only ones at the time before they started linking 2 and 2 together and found the number 4 was sexoracist against Fauci.

The egg shortage that was on every Democrat's shit-stained lips (until the stories mysteriously disappeared) was due to a culling of poultry from 2022-2024, as well. Not COVID, but Bird Flu. So more waste and destruction, breaking supply chains.

@jemelehill
America was built on the institution of slavery. It is how America became a world economic power — the buying and selling of people being tied to the economy. That is effectively white supremacy, since it was a race-based system.

Fast forward to other economic policies that were guided by race — housing, employment, etc. There were rules that prevented Black people from equally participating in the free economy.

In fact, one of the most glaring features of American capitalism is racial inequality. The racial wealth gap exists because specific policies were put in place to suppress economic participation.

So yes, capitalism is tied to white supremacy.

-----
Readers added context
Economic historians find slavery enriched owners but was not the main driver of US economic power. Cotton ~5% of GDP; North industrialized freely. Emancipation produced large gains (4-35% of GDP).

41 @35/FenelonSpoke: { Spouse has rules for his bus today, one of which is "Use your inside voice." LOL. }

It's not a bad rule, I hope he's successful, but based on what I've experienced on my bus with kids, they just naturally get louder and more excited as they talk about things they like, and then they argue and get loud and talk over each other, and this escalates quickly.

The biggest plus I've experienced in control over the kids has been sticking with the route and giving them the consistency in driver that they both want, and need.

Y'know how kids act up for substitute teachers? The same's true for drivers. Kids want routine. If you give them that, they're a lot happier and easier to get to behave. Kids feel secure when they know the fence is there, and if they push on it, it doesn't move.

42 G'morning, all!

Pro-tip: Do not use the official Volvo parts diagram to reassemble your P-2 platform PCV system.

You will wind up swapping the location of two hoses, and have to disassemble the entire assembly again to swap the two hoses.

Which gives you new opportunities to drop other bolts that will fall down the front of the engine and disappear again until you re-disassemble what you just put back together again.

And each time, you get to deal with what is known as the most difficult banjo bolt on the entire engine.

There is a reason why the labor to do this is usually over $1,000.00.

50 Temps are a hair lower this morning, and we are due for rain the rest of the week. Not that it means the place will be cool, just "less hot."

I checked on my estimated taxes yesterday, and when I go through the "taxable amount of SS" worksheet, I get a figure much lower than I expected -- backed up by three different 'Net calculators. Naturally I need to go over it again. But it looks like I've already paid my 2026 taxes and will be due a small refund. Whoo, as they say, hoo.

Posted by: NR Pax at September 08, 2026 05:53 AM (+4yJ5)

52 "banjo bolts are an abomination."

I don't normally mind them, and Volvo usually uses them in the appropriate locations.

This particular one is on the underside of the intake on the passenger side, with minimal clearance and access. Best installed using a stubby 17mm box wrench. And the location allows for the top crush washer to fall off in the attempt, and if you did not place a rag over the alternator, the crush washer can fall into the windings of the alternator.

All together, I would rather not ever have to deal with that bolt. But events caused me to remove and install the thing four times during the fun filled event.

And the whole thing starts because of a less than 1/4 inch diameter semi rigid tube that goes from the banjo bolt to the oil trap under the intake gets brittle over time and either cracks or clogs. And if it breaks, you get wild trouble codes for Mass Air signal too low with no visible reason for it. And because the tube is inside an insulation sleeve, the break is not visible unless you do a smoke test of the system and suddenly discover smoke pouring out from under the intake on the passenger side.

54 The furry thugs are well. Stirling continues on his (to him) starvation diet; I need to weigh him to see how things are going. Little Dagny is eating all of what I give her now too. I used to leave a ilttle dry food out for them overnight. Now that I'm not, to decrease Stirling's vast intake, she seems hungrier at mealtimes.

Tomorrow I have to get blood drawn again, to check on some mildly-off readings last time. Which means no breakfast or coffee from midnight until after my 8 am appointment. I'll try to stay up later tonight and have a small snack late, then sleep later than usual, so I won't have to sit around before leaving. At least I can look forward to breakfast at a favorite diner afterward.

55 Speaking of eating out, the trip to Cracker Barrel yesterday was pretty good. It started out with strong rain, then that vanished and we had a good run out to the far side of the lake. Had to wait about a quarter-hour for a table; at 10:15 on a Labor Day morning, the place was busy. The place looked like CB used to, with the old logo and decorations. Food was good, if expensive; with OJ for Miss L., coffee for me, and two lunch plates plus tip, I got dinged close to $40. Grrrr.

Smooth traffic-free run mostly at 70 back home, too.

60 "I don't think I had it long enough to do any maintenance on it myself."

At 287,000 miles, I am fortunately able to do most of the maintenance myself. And at that hight mileage, even the PCV work is considered maintenance rather than repair.

I think this is the third timing belt, water pump and idler on the thing.

But...if you can keep up on these things, they do keep running. And as long as I'm spending less than car payments on repairs, I'm still ahead financially.

Because I don't have SS withhold anything. You can't tell them a specific amount to take out, and their minimum is 7% a month, which is for me close to $200. I'd be way overpaying the Feds in return for a big refund next year. I can put that money to use every month better for my purposes than they can. And I don't want to make a big payment in April.

So yes, I am trying to estimate what I'll owe. Earlier this year I sent them quarterly payments. Then I got my big refund -- I'd miscalculated on my 1040, quite a bit -- and saw that my SS was taxed lower than I'd thought. This year, it looks as if I'll be taxed even less.

And there's that indefinable, immeasurable thing about "liking the vehicle better than anything you could buy at present."

I see. I just set my SS at ten percent. We're in the twelve bracket, so I figure that's close enough. But, next year - or most of it - should be non-taxable if Trump's new rule of non-taxing SS benefits for over sixty-fives is still in force.

Then tonight would be the paperwork avalanche from the kid's backpack. Health forms, permission forms, supply lists, sign up for the PTA, some random fundraiser...

Monday Night ONT - September 7, 2026 [TRex]

20260829-SailorBillTattooingVictoryDriveColubusGA1982-nearftbenning.jpg

Good evening Horde. The time has come for Monday shenanigans. The bar is open and the refrigerator has been freshly re-stocked with A&W Rootbeer.

Welcome to the Monday night ONT which means vintage overnight fun and games. Pull up a chair and join the fun. Good will offerings of amusing puns are encouraged. Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors. Pants are optional. This ONT is a Tucker, Candace, Megyn, and Bill Kristol free zone. Fauci is fair game.

[Top photo: Sailor Bill Tattooing, Victory Drive, Columbus, GA - near US Army Fort Benning - 1982]

***

The Monday ONT has dialed up the wayback machine tonight with very random results.

Harvesting wheat in Ritzville, Adams County, Washington (1936)

20260829-harvestingwheatRitzvilleWA1936.jpg

Butte, Montana (1939) - possibly E Park Street near S Main - note the circular M&M neon sign for the M&M Cafe and Bar which was a 24-hour miners' hangout since the 1890s). The original M&M Cafe/Bar building burned down on May 7, 2021 but was re-built in a neighboring building starting in 2023. It reportedly still serves all-day breakfast, burgers, and drinks. The original 20-foot neon M&M sign was salvaged from the fire, restored, and rehung on the new building in March 2025.

20260829-ButteMT1939.jpg

Chops Bowling on South 13th Street in Omaha, Nebraska (1988 ) - it is still operating and looks exactly the same today.

20260829-ChopsBowlingS13thStOklahomaNE1988-stillexistslooksthesame.jpg

B-25 assembly at North American Aviation, Inc. in Inglewood, Califiornia (1942)

20260814-B25assemblyInglewoodCA1942.jpg

Christ Chapel in Boise, Idaho (1974) - this church was originally St. Michael's Episcopal Church, built in 1866 at 7th and Bannock Streets in downtown Boise. After St. Michael's Cathedral opened in 1902, it was moved to 15th and Ridenbaugh. It was moved a third time in 1963-64 to the Boise State University campus, restored, and rededicated as a nondenominational chapel.

20260829-christchapelboiseIDc1933.jpg

The James T. Staples (aka "Big Jim") sternwheel river packet underway on the water near Mobile, Alabama (circa 1910) - it typically ran the Tombigbee River route between Mobile and Demopolis, carrying passengers and up to 2,500 bales of cotton. A boiler explosion destroyed the boat in 1913, killing more than two dozen people.

20260829-RiverPacketMobileALc1915.jpg

Elephant parade on 8th avenue (near 48th) in New York City (1920) - circus must have been in town

20260829-NYCParadeOn8that48th1920.jpg

Pentagon construction (circa 1941)

20260829-PentagonConstructionc1941.jpg

Willard Hotel, Washington, DC (circa 1904) - Ulysses S. Grant liked to sit in the lobby after work, smoking cigars and drinking whiskey. Those seeking favor with him knew to find him there. Hotel lore claims this is how the word "lobbyist" originated. Some hotel staff have claimed that his cigar-smoking ghost still appears in the lobby at night.

20260829-WillardHotelDCc1904.jpg

Windmill on Mountauk Highway in Suffolk County, New York (circa 1968 ) - it still exists

20260829-WindmillMontauk HighwayandHalsey LaneSuffolk CountyNYc1968-stillexists.jpg

The Hollywood Dream Factory on Sylvania Avenue, Toledo, Ohio (1988 ) - it sold movie posters, memorabilia, vintage cameras and projectors, etc. At some point, it switched to a mail order business. No sign of the Dream Factory signage remains.

The circus was 1) very popular with the public and 2) performed three times a day. Hence it was highly profitable to the arena to host it, which is why the sports teams were displaced when it was in town.

49 I've been inside Ebbets Grill a few times, which is in the same building as Willard Hotel. On the 3rd floor of the Pentagon, there is a corridor dedicated to the building and reconstruction (post 9/11). It's very interesting. If you tour it, you probably will go through it. I work there so I can meander around the building and do frequently. The perks of mid shift. That windmill? Long Island? There is a very old and very respected golf course there. I'll have to look it up as the name escapes me. Also, Montauk has a 1/4, asphalt race track (Riverhead raceway). I could be wrong about that. In the area anyway. Watch lots of racing.

54 “Wake Up Little Susie,” a song about reputation. It might as well have been from another age, which I guess it is. The close harmony of the Everly Brothers comes through clearly. It is somehow reassuring to see how poor NTSC resolution was in 1957. An age of relative innocence.

73 I wonder how many German spies are in the 1939 World's Fair video. The theme was "World of Tomorrow", so you can bet there were people looking over the exhibits since RCA and Ford played a big role that year. For those unfamiliar, the World's Fair at Flushing, NY started in early 1939, but didn't end until late the following year.

77 The 1939 World's Fair featured two exhibits that celebrated the female form. There was a Salvador Dali Pavilion featuring actual topless mermaids swimming about and an outdoor exhibit (separate admission) that was a Sun Worshipper theme. Topless or sheer topped women sunning, playing badminton, walking about. Most were recruited from NYC burlesque houses and mostly very attractive. There's film and pictures of them online somewhere.

89 Joemarine, it was a significant deal to about 65 Boy Scouts from northern Oklahoma. New York City! We rode the subways without harm and went to an Automat for lunch one day.

99 I don't doubt that the loss of elephants didn't help, but most circuses were in financial trouble long before that. I took my kids to Ringling Bros. Barnum and Bailey, and the selling of schlock in the aisles was nonstop. I read somewhere that it just wasn't a financially viable business model anymore, and as I said, I think the acts were outdated and today's kids were bored with them.

Cirque de Soleil is probably the only successful modern circus, and it's more of a theater experience in many ways.

136 We stayed at the Willard Hotel by accident when I was 6yrs old (bro was 4). My father never believed in making hotel reservations on trips as something would work out. We arrived bedraggled and tired. I remember the lobby and not much else other than the White House was near, which we toured but did not see Jackie or JFK. I remember Mt. Vernon & Arlington. How short the beds were at Mt. Vernon as our ancestors were midgets.

Before we got there we were in Gatlingburg where we were inducted into the Confederate Army and rode on a train. My brother took this seriously. I found out on this trip that the South lost & it ticked me off to be on the losing team.

My father got a speeding ticket, which was also normal, and agreed that he was speeding. Had to follow the hwy patrol to the courthouse to pay.

Little bro would get car sick a lot & of course did on this trip. I would cling to the passenger door to get as far away as I could. He once harfed into his straw cowboy hat and my mother washed it & kept it, which grossed me out further.

Daddy felt we were close enough to NYC that we might as well go but my mother had enough & we went home.

It is no wonder I have phobias.

152 How on earth the composer thought it was martial music, I'll never know.

The whole genre of music known in Europe as "cavalry marches"
was generally referred to in the US as "circus marches."

There's an odd link between Hawaiian royalty and Kaiser Wilhelm. The Queen asked him to send her a music master so her people could have the blessing of musical education. He did -- a good one, and there's a story with that -- so all "Hawaiian" music has some German roots. And that is how we got the unique form, "Hula March." It's some of the base stock of country music.

158 Well, in the continuing saga of how to most efficiently scrap out a car alternator, I think I have it about nailed. Used a cutoff wheel in the angle grinder to lop off the slip ring end of the shaft flush with the face of the pole piece. Put it in the drill press and drilled three 9/32" holes in the cut end, about a half inch deep. That relieved the interference fit, and two screwdrivers popped the pole piece off the shaft with next to no effort, exposing the wire spool. End flange peeled of the spool with pliers, and grabbed the inner end of the wire, and pulled out a few yards. With the inside layers pulled out, the whole spool came free, and into the copper pail it went.

The stator, I cut through at one point with the cutting disc, cutting both laminations and windings. Then I opened it up straight, when opened all the wire slots. It was then easy to pull all the windings free.

169 local radio spots would offer the elephant shit as 'free fertilizer'.

In the days when you could almost make a living with a single-axle dump truck "on by the ton" hauling stone or blacktop for highway construction, a whole job site would shut down for a couple of days when Ringling Bros. was in town. All the drivers went to hauling the elephant droppings, as it paid better. A loader stayed busy all day and night, and several trucks would be lined up to load, just like at the quarry. And then you had to hose out the bed, naturally.

174 Nope. Talked to mom on the phone today. She's really not eating or drinking now and said "I want to get outta here". Then she asked about mother and dad. Her parents died 32 years ago. There's not much left of her because she's just dying of old age. Not on any painkillers stronger than OTC stuff which is good. She was happy when I told her the big cat she's fond of came by this morning. So when the time comes, I'll fly out, take care of arrangements, and then pack up what I'm taking back.

176 Well this gets interesting.

CA AG Bonta spent $460k in legal fees from his camapign fund to deal with a DoJ investigation into a federal probe of corruption involving a recycling business owned by the Duong family that resulted in one mayor getting recalled while she and the Duongs are facing prosecution.

Bonta over the course of years received over $150,000 in political contributions from the Duong family. He has now quietly returned the money.

Maybe this explains why the Filipino Newsome and his wife railroaded the Stop Nick Shirley Act through the CA legislature.

Gate in NYC in 1904. 1,021 of the 1,342 folks on the boat died. Nearly all of the victims were from a German Church on the Lower East Side. Almost all were women and children on a Sunday School picnic. Hundreds of men lost their wives and kids. The Germans on the Lower East Side moved uptown, leaving room for the influx of Jewish immigrants more commonly known as Lower East Siders.

179 Steamboat Arabia Museum in KC will close permanently this November, so see it if you get the chance. It's just great.

Riverboats were incredibly dangerous, partly because of the rivers, and then there was short-sighted boatbuilding and the expensive way to discover the need for safety features.

I'm pretty sure Sultana was the reason why later steamboats had automatic refill pumps, called a "doctor." When people went up a gangplank, they'd ask "Is there a doctor on board," and it wasn't about their need for medical care.

Funny thing about that. Oakland jacked its waste hauling fees for small landlords in 2016 to fund the corruption your post refers to. I was tasked with drafting a lawsuit that the rate increases violated the CA constitution. I knew jack shit about this but diligently studied up. Oakland got my suit thrown out on the grounds that the rates were not unconstitutional. Later (I was not involved), the CA Supreme Court said I should have won the demurrer. :->

You can look up the 2015-2016 Alameda County grand jury report here:

203 Wikipedia says, FWIW, that the casualties in the explosion of the Sultana were mostly Union soldiers recently released from Confederate POW camps. The explosion was apparently due to a badly repaired boiler. Badly repaired because a proper repair would have taken days and have lost the Sultana the fee it was receiving for returning the soldiers promptly.

Well, the story of the lunatic who had to be duck-taped to his seat on the flight just took a wild turn.

What set him off? A *religious discussion*. The lunatic's seat mate turned out to be Rabbi Jonathan Cahn, a Messianic Jew and author of that prophecy book "The Harbinger".

Cahn's latest book is "The Altar of Pergamon" (he was on Coast to Coast AM a few days ago with this, BTW). Chan mentioned that, and that's when the guy freaked out.

Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at September 08, 2026 01:33 AM (w6EFb)

217
The Daily Mail has that story, but it's behind the paywall.

The lunatic's name was Layne Lundeen, an AZ realtor. Cahn said they were having a friendly conversation, and got to talking about their religious beliefs. Lundeen said he rejected Christ and Christianity after his divorce (he's now on his third wife or something).

Cahn then apparently tried to encourage him to not to do that, and that's what began to set him off.

Cahn then disengaged, but Lundeen sort of kept going with. Then the "Altar of Pergamon" book came up somehow, and Lundeed really lost then.

At one point, Lundeen told Cahn he was going to "punch your Jew face in" or something like that.

Ol' Randall Carlson can comically get bogged down in some minutiae and drag things on and on with some of his videos.

He'll get sidetracked by some simple calculation he wants to make, get all screwed up, and go on and on.

One funny one is he and some others were discussing that Nepal flood, and some sends him the exact coordinates of the glacier collapse to put in his map program. So he starts trying to type it manually from the screen email or chat message into the box in the map program.

And gets the digits all messed up.... Randall, just copy and paste! Yeah, I could do that.... So 5 minutes of Randall fumbling with coordinates.

YouTube TV is a live streaming service that has all the normal cable channels on it. It’s basically like cable/satellite over internet. Hulu and a few other services do something similar.

That’s why it’s $80, and that’s just basic, add-on channels will run you north of $120 for everything.
I looked into getting it to replace Dish satellite but didn’t do it.

YT also has YouTube Premium for $14.99/month (last time I checked) for YouTube without ads.

Tough question. I wouldn't know where to move either. I hate extreme heat, and I hate extreme cold. I like having 4 seasons actually. When things are normal around here we get a couple weeks of stupid hot, and a few weeks of stupid cold. I can deal with that. It makes the exceptions easier to deal with when things are usually normal and bearable. One year we had 19 snow storms, and we also had a few years of nothing, not a flake. Last year we had one storm, and maybe one the year before. We had a January that was 60 degrees for over half the month, and january where it probably didn't go over 10 degrees.

YouTube TV is a separate system from regular YouTube, it may have a second app on the Roku store that confused you. But if you have cable the kids would have the same experience, just different channel numbers for Cartoon Network or whatever they wanted to watch.

Regular YouTube is free on every platform through the web browser or a dedicated app. It just has lots of ads to pay for it (unless you pay for Premium).

Mrs B brought home the pizza from hell. She was at the beach today and there is a pizza place there with gigantic size pizza. She brought home a whole pie. I did a 150 mile ride today, stopped at a few places, ate a cheeseburger called the hangover. It had bacon, cheese, taylor ham (porkroll), and a fried egg on it, and came with a shitload of fries. On the way home I stopped at this one wawa gas station which seems to be were all the bikes seem to stop to gas up as they leave the pine barrens and shore area. Got a coffee, some goodies to go with it. Then I came home an hour or so later, killed 2 huge slices of the barbarian size pizza, sat in the recliner and passed out until a few hours ago. The pizza did me in. Now I'm wide awake.

Yes, the car can jump, or hop. I guess any car with hydraulic suspension can do that. The problem is it can only hop a couple inches. To "hop over something" you have to be going very very fast.

And you have to detect it from a distance. So no one is jumping over nail strips or a body in the road.

98 Getting tin for bronze was the limiting factor in making bronze. Arsenic has its own problems. But you needed international trade to sustain the amounts of tin you needed for bronze and that’s why the Bronze Age fell. Bronze is actually stronger than steel, often enough. It’s just that iron can be made into steel anywhere you have the ore, if you have man-power to drive a blast furnace. It does not depend on tin deposits in far away lands.

163 "If I'm not mistaken it's part of the soldering for computer boards right?"

The best solder for electronic work used to be 63% tin, 37% lead. That's what I use, but these days, with lead-free solder ascendant, I don't know what they use anymore.

Look on your toothpaste tube. It should tell you what the stannous fluoride content is. If not, there should be some journal articles on the subject of fluoridating toothpaste, and one should be able to get a ballpark figure there. Once you have a per tube, or per gram value, multiply by the known volume of toothpaste sold.

50/50 was used for tin work, radiators, etc.

63/37 is the actual eutectic, the lowest melting point obtainable with a tin/lead alloy.

176 "Lead-free solder is crap."

I expect so. The best solder I ever used was the stuff supplied with Heathkits. It would leap into a joint and saturate it fully just on sight. Didn't have to hardly even heat it up.

I'm looking at my two rolls of solder here. Kester "44" is the gold standard 63/37 that I prefer; that was $30/lb. The other is Chemtronics 60/40, which I just happened to find a roll of, for free.

180 Before written history, the Greeks used to sail to Cornwall to trade for tin. You have to wonder what they brought for the Cornish.

British industrial history only talks about how hard tin mining was on the workers -- of course -- but the last tin mine in Cornwall closed in 1998, and may reopen.

The other great industry in Cornwall was piracy, and we are led to believe that nobody lives there any more.

This he claimed after going to the emergency room to get stitched up for a bite from a hyena he was working with and refused antibiotics. He apparently survived, so maybe he was right.

I do not know if the current right wing movements are antisemitic, given that it’s Europe, there may some elements that are. But I do not believe any “official” source in Europe that says they are. After all, the press here in the States assures me Trump is a Fascist, and I know he is not. What is the evidence that the nationalist movements in France or Germany are actually “Far Right” = Fascist = Antisemitic? Being for remigration is not proof. Also I now the nationalist movements in the UK and Ireland are tarred with this, and I know they are not.

55 Because no one talks about this, I will not shut up about it.

This goes back the the 90s when the Euroweenies were upset because the US economy was gangbusters and theirs sucked.

Germany, in particular, thought that the problem with US was that we had lots of energy and cheap migrant labor. So they decided
- push Kyoto to hobble us
- Partner with Russia to divide continent with Germany as distribution hub for Russian gas
- Import lots of foreign workers
- have their EU market import lots more migrant consumers
- go all in on Green -- no nukes, no GMO, no BGH, no US food, no fracking, etc. This would keep US out of their market, and make them less dependent on US security in the Gulf for energy. Brilliant.

_________________________________

The possibility of Alberta claiming independence is extremely remote to nil. First, they have a Premier who is on record saying she doesn't want that, which means she will honor the Canadian Supreme Court, and at least three treaties with "indigenous" tribes. Also, there is something called the Clarity Act that outlines the obligations to claim indedepence. That incluedes "a clear will of the people" (which was worded vaguely on purpose to allow the courts to decide). And, it says, a clear majority vote (also, vague in what that means). Finally, it would require the Canadian Constitution to be revised (which would require approval from all the Provinces that only exist because Alberta and Saskatchewan's payment into the equalization fund).

PS: Trust me. You don't want BC. They are as bad as the Eastern Provinces. Alberta and Saskatchewan are the prizes in this contest.

104 Pandas are supposedly dumb. But despite being tiny in numbers, and existing only in a a remote location in China, they are by far the most famous and recognizable bears.

Cities pay China tens of millions to get a panda.

Zoos who have pandas make that the centerpiece of their advertisings.

Pandas are the most coddled, most loved, and most well-taken care of bears in the history of the world.

Kung Fu Panda made billions. Kung Fu Grizzly was gay porn.

So … who exactly is dumb here?

That's what is behind this whole split. Trump jacked up tariffs with China to match theirs on the USA, and China started slipping steel in to Canada so they can slap a new label on it and sell to the USA under a lower tariff.

So Trump said "we're not playing that game" and Canada went nuts

___________________________

I'm convinced that Trump did the Lake Ontario to Lake America to screw over Carney. His constituents are so poorly informed (thanks to a State media well beyond even what is in the US)....that they believe there is a way out for Canada where they come out of negotiations in good shape. So Trump upped the ante by winding them up with the Lake name change. Eventually, Carney has no choice but to capitulate, or the Loonie is going to be giving Iran a competition on whose currency can dip the lowest. We're talking Depression...not Recession. The people losing everything and jumping out of buildings type. Then, the free benefits to immigrants stop, which winds up the looting, violence and crime.

All the while, Carney's constituents are oblivious, so when he eventually capitulates, his political career is over.

Below, some videos from an account called "Macrofying," showing extreme close-ups of tiny things.

He says these are all real, but I don't believe a camera can move so precisely to get these shots. I can believe that most of this is real, but surely the transitions between shots must be some kind of CGI morphing. Right?

Anyway, some cool stuff.

Talk about a blast from the past…
Posted by: Cow Demon

I wonder if it would be economically viable as a business venture? I asked Grok what the value of the 3 recently sunk ships would have been if captured and sold instead.

Rough estimate: on the order of $80–150+ million total for the three ships if sold as-is (or repaired) in a secondhand/auction market, likely toward the lower end or below due to age, sanctions status, and shadow-fleet associations. Individual estimates roughly $40–70 million for the VLCC and $20–40 million each for the two Suezmaxes under optimistic assumptions.

Elon, yo! I'm intimately familiar with the sea, and naval combat. Talk to the Don, put up the money for a ship and crew, and I can turn a tidy profit for all involved! Plus some sweet video footage exclusively for X!

49 Here's a story.

In HS I took the hardest AP English the school offered, which was Modern Poetry. I did this because i was bad at English and didn't want to skate.

One project was to analyze a poem in groups and present. My group picked Thunder Road (songs counted as poetry) as I was a Springsteen fan.

Every friday one group presented and it was brutal. No one talked, no one asked questions, no one cared. The week my group was up, I was presenting. I told one kid in our group to hang back and ask questions -- to get a discussion going. A plant. His name was Elio.

Well, it worked perfectly, we presented and asked if there were any questions, and Elio's hand pops up. "Good questions,.. blah blah blah"
About the third question, the teacher (a big busted blonde but I can't remember her name) said "wait a second Elio, aren't you in this group?"

Well everyone realized what we had done, and busted up. After that, all the presentations were a great success because I had somehow broken the ice.

And yet, we got a B. I think the teacher was downplaying that I had saved her stupid time waster and made it into a real interactive discussion that worked. F U Miss whatever.

I don't recall the details, but there is a museum in LA (I think on Ventura) called the Museum of Jurassic Technology, and one of their permanent exhibits was a series of microscopic sculptures. I saw it in the 90s so this all may be OBE, but I am sure they have a website.

It was (is?) a wild museum. The whole idea was that you could not trust anything as it was half lies and half just outrageous. The sculptures could only be viewed through a microscope so you had no idea if they were real. (kind of like Ace's posts that we always doubt if they are real.)

Anyway, if you are in LA, check it out. You may need time machine though.

I said last time that I'm not sure this is real, because the stupid legal system we live under would probably punish these guys as serious criminals for rigging a bike to electrify a thief. No punishment for the thief, but the guy putting out a bait bike: Maximum penalties.

Still, this all looks very real.

Skateboard with a steel wire:

Electrified bike:

I'm sure I linked this electrified bike video before. But if you want to see thieves in pain, check it out.

There is a whole genre of video of thieves getting comeuppance. Brazil biker punks, Russian car jackers, various armed robberies of stores, etc.

There are websites that specialize in this stuff. I don't recall where, but I have seen them and they really are glorious.

18 The videos of backpacks setup as bait that are cabled to a post or tree are funny.

The thief typically grabs the backpack and then runs off. Only get the bag jerked right out of their hands. Most of the time they've a death grip on it, so they end up biting the sidewalk. Some will grab it again and take off... only to bite it again.

Thieves be stupid.

20 As an attorney I would advise my clients not to do this , from a civil or criminal law standpoint.
A concept in the law is the "spring gun" cases. A person's home keeps being broken into so they set up a gun aimed at the window where the break in occurs. The burglar goes through window again, triggers gun shooting and killing burglar. Homeowner charged with murder. As kharmic as this sounds , bad idea

57 Having watched a lot of Law & Order in my (checks notes) 29 years, my learned opinion is as follows:

You could get away with the tied down backpacks, bikes, skateboards, etc. That's simply securing your property.

Glitter bombs require absolute intent, so you could (probably) get away with it.

Electrification is a no-no without clear warnings such as you would find on a fence.

The box truck is absolutely staged. Closing the door could be construed as detainment (although get ready for a legal bill). The second you drive away, that is false imprisonment, kidnapping and reckless endangerment.

Also also, see the Argentine film 4X4 or it's western remake Locked.

96 With what money? If the ships are not viable and must be scrapped, how do you intend to bring them here? How do you deal with those who bought that crude? What do you do with the proceeds - put them in escrow for Iran when they get their shit together, or do you support demontage?

If it doesn't have power and can't be towed sell it to whom ever wants to buy it.
Those that bought the crude are forfeit. They did know or should have known they were doing business with Iran which is forbidden.
The proceeds? Everything is auctioned off in America at below cost and resold below cost. It's a piece of bounty to all.

And the crew. They were probably work at next to slave labor. They will be happy with a ticket home.

You think so? There's a bit more variety in reactions, but often white girls end up crying and begging (for mercy or their mom), although a substantial number are just combative and argumentative. Black women seem to almost always be violent and argumentative, rarely cry, and are always pregnant/can't breathe/etc

108 “If it doesn't have power and can't be towed sell it to whom ever wants to buy it.”

To who and with what money? Where does that come from, by the way?

“Those that bought the crude are forfeit. They did know or should have known they were doing business with Iran which is forbidden.”

When confronted with that, whoever bought the crude will pause, ponder your wisdom, and say “Oh OK” and do nothing. Um, check that, no they won’t.

“The proceeds? Everything is auctioned off in America at below cost and resold below cost. It's a piece of bounty to all.” So you ARE supportive of demontage.

“And the crew. They were probably work at next to slave labor. They will be happy with a ticket home.”

Their home countries will be happy to hear that. Oh, with what money?

1 GatewayPundit

After its historic victory in the state of Saxony-Anhalt, the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party has dropped from 44.4 % of the vote to 43.8% after mail-in ballots were counted, with all other parties gaining abnormally from mail-in ballots. Attorney Dirk Schmitz called this a sign of “systematic manipulation”.

German elections have been thought to be fairly secure, with mainly in-person same-day voting, photo ID requirements, and a Supreme Court ban on digital voting machines, as I explained to Ben Harnwell on The War Room.

19 From the Tech thread:

80 I have an LG.
Turned a lot if the offending settings off at original setup.

I have never in my life felt like talking to my remote control to get it to do something, so I never turned the Voice Control on.

Went through the menu again just now and switched some settings off that had been turned on after a recent software update, deleted Ad/Content information, and Reset the Ad ID.

It’s ridiculous that LG feels this irresistible urge to nickel & dime the customer even on their OLEDs which are not cheap and shouldn’t need to be subsidized by marketing the customer’s information.

If you can’t make enough money in South Korea charging $800 to $4000 for millions of TVs, without resorting to data brokering, you are doing it wrong.

Posted by: AZ deplorable moron

One thing to be aware of with mini pcs. A) most of them use proprietary parts, B) heat management is a thing. Heat kills chips and if you don't make time to remove the cruft that builds up in a normal house from them, they get hot, start throwing errors, and then die.

Small cases unless you get the low power Ryzens or Intel T models that are a slower and designed for laptops to sip electricity, build up heat faster than bigger cases with better airflow and space between components.

That makes cleaning the inside of the cases using compressed air or stronger methods like isopropyl alcohol if you use things like indoor fireplaces or non vented gas space heaters. Leaves a greasy film everywhere that suck up dust.

Small cased electronics tend to have a shorter lifespan because of the small cases and difficulty in cleaning them whether it is stereos, dvd or set top boxes, routers, etc.

96 r/DSA

At the Socialism 2026 conference, Beatrice Adler-Bolton argued that the left must abandon the "fantasy of being fitter than the fascists," stating that "the more dysgenic, the better."

The clips floating around the internet today really highlight the need for the DSA to be viewed independently from things like Socialism Conference.

I'm out of the loop. Wtf does dysgenic even mean? It needs to be fucking said: We need to be eugenic. Leftists need to be having more kids. Leftists need to have more instrumental personality traits. Leftists need to be intellectually rigorous.
We need fit people. not because it helps capital, but because it makes us healthier and smarter.

Imagine using words like "dysgenic" while wearing a covid mask in 2026 and talking about how being fat and unkempt is good.

this is why we don't have universal health Care and lots of holidays like they have over in europe, because the so-called American leftists were poisoned pill by propaganda from the elites to see the white conservative as the true enemy instead of the billionaires and the big corporations.. divide and conquer..

118 I saved my programs on my first computer using a cassette drive.

Then I graduated to one with two fullheight 5.25" floppy drives, each disk held 360Kb.

Then I got my first machine with a hard drive... a whole 10 megabytes.

Then I built my first XT machine (4.77 MHz/10 MHz turbo, 8088.) I put in a Miniscribe 3650 and had an amazing 40 megabytes of storage. Later I bought an RLL controller (instead of the MFM I had first) and extended that out to 65 megabytes.

I skipped 286's, and built a 386 sx with an 80 megabyte ide drive. That held me for a while.

And then Command and Conquer came out and I was "forced" to upgrade to my first Pentium machine and a 250 meg IDE drive. Wow playing that game was sweet though.

After that came a Dual Pentium III 450MHz machine (motherboard was from iWill) and I remember it had an awesome feature that if you bricked the motherboard with a flash update, you could name the rom .BIN file a certain name, put it on a 3.5" floppy, put it in, and upon boot, the motherboard would recognize it on POST and re-flash the rom all by itself. Now that's good design. This was my last machine with a hardware jumper for write-protecting the BIOS.

========
Indoor air quality matters and fans are a plus/minus thing. If your indoor air quality is good, its okay, if your air quality sucks, then it simply adds to the dust coating internally. You can put filters on that but then that restricts the airflow.

Ugly but practical sometimes is a big honking heat sink from a conductive metal like aluminum or copper. Passive heat sinks do not add to problems of air flow but do need to cleaned now and again as dust acts as a insulator over time.

Liquid cooling is better but introduces its own problems.

I have seen them close off a section of gravel road near here so that an aerial spray plane could reload its tanks close to the spray site, saving air time and fuel. He had flagmen to close off a mile of road. Land and taxi to the farm gate where the tanker was; flagmen opened the road, and closed it again for takeoff.

Sure hope to make it next month, yes!

The Mini PCs have laptop chips in them, so they can take some heat. You couldn’t run them dry without a heatsink and fan but they’re designed to run in confined spaces compared to a desktop chip.

If heat buildup is a worry you can always go into the BIOS and undervolt the chip or turn down some pther power settings to keep it a little cooler.

I undervolt my desktop chip just to make it idle in the 30 - 45 C range with a tower cooler.

Sounds like it ate something it shouldn’t have if it’s eating grass. It might have bad heartburn or something.

If the subject is cooling a mini-pc
Beelink is mounted on the back of a Gateway monitor, a $1.98, 12v cooling fan encased in Styrofoam is strung on an insulated wire from one of the mounting screws. Its cuddled up to the Beelink and the residual air is then ducked via envelope downward to the two mounted external HDs. It's all cool.

With what money? How do you intend to do all that? What with the proceeds? You put them in an escrow account for when Iran shakes off the shackles or are you good with demontage? What with the ships? The crew?

I PROMISE I’m not trying to be a jerk here. But there really a million considerations. It isn’t as simple as “just capture the ships and their cargo”.

Posted by: Cow Demon at September 07, 2026 03:01 PM (WB/3O)

185 I believe the ships in question or at least two of them were at anchor in Iranian ports. Not in transit in int'l waters. "Seizing" them would actually be a (foolhardy) military operation going into the highest threat zone in order to get low-value probably poorly maintained small tankers.

The seizure question may apply more logically to Iranian-flagged ships elsewhere, like those languishing in SE Asian waters. Admin recently moved to re-activate a court that oversees actions related to seizing ships at sea, I think.
