Of Course: Seized Iranian Ship Was Carrying Dual-Use Materials From China for Use in Building Ballistic Missiles
Say, didn't China agree to not send weapons to Iran?
The Iranian ship seized by U.S. Marines on Monday after attempting to break through President Trump's blockade was reportedly found to be carrying dual-use chemicals shipped from China that are commonly used to manufacture ballistic missiles. In an interview on Tuesday, President Trump confirmed the report, describing the chemicals as a "gift from China." He added that he was surprised by it because he thought he "had an understanding with President Xi."
It's time to deploy the oil weapon against China. Trump is now in defacto control of Venezuelan oil and Iranian oil, which together provide China with much of its oil. It's time to remind China of that.
🚨 HOLY CRAP! The Iranian-flagged ship Touska, which the US military seized yesterday, was in-bound from China “loaded with dual-use chemicals used to manufacture ballistic missiles,” per WP

EXCLUSIVE--Tucker Carlson and his brother Buckley want Trump to ID every Jew & Christian who supports Israel to "root them out" of government. One of first Nazi laws was banning most Jews from government. The Carlson brothers' proposed "update" is to also purge Christian Zionists. The only enemy of the people they mentioned by name in this bizarre segment was @SebGorka, Trump's most trusted counterterrorism advisor in the White House. Gorka is a staunch American patriot and a fierce anti-Communist. So why does Tucker want him gone? Because Gorka also believes that a close relationship with Israel enhances U.S. national security. The Carlson brothers' proposed purge would also cover Stephen Miller (@StephenM), @SusieWiles, and basically every single one of Trump's most loyal advisors. Of course, such a purge also would have included their late, great father, Amb. Dick Carlson, a mentor of mine, who held numerous government roles and had worked with the CIA. In the 13 months since their Dad died, Tucker and his brother Buckley have repeatedly vilified -- and outright questioned the loyalties of -- anyone who was like him, a Christian who supported the Jewish state. And both Tucker and Buckley have flirted with Holocaust denial, particularly in recent months.

Despite extensive research, I could not find a single example of Tucker acknowledging the extraordinarily well-documented fact that six million Jews were exterminated in the Holocaust. Which brings me to a private conversation Tucker and I had maybe 15 years ago, one which I had written off at the time -- but in hindsight, probably shouldn't have. (We've never been close, but would chat if we ran into each other.) For some reason, I think because I had just toured Yad Vashem, I mentioned to him how mind-boggling it is that the Nazis murdered six million Jews. Tucker shot me a strange look, almost incredulous. Sarcastically, I quipped, "You're not one of those nutjobs who don't believe that six million Jews died, are you?" Instead of a jabbing back or acting indignant, Tucker responded, "I mean, whatever, Hitler killed a bunch of different people."Mowbray posted that last week. Tuq'r still hasn't contradicted it.
Tuq'r also claims that Trump is not a Christian, but subscribes to a religion that Tuq'r just made up called "Israelism," which is Tuq'r's way to say "Jews" while denying he's saying "Jews."
Tucker Carlson says Donald Trump’s religion is not Christianity — it is “Israelism.”

TUCKER CARLSON from deadline.
Tucker Carlson offered a mea culpa on his podcast for supporting Donald Trump in his 2024 presidential campaign, telling his viewers and listeners that he will be “tormented by it for a long time.”
In a conversation with his brother Buckley, a Trump speechwriter, Carlson said on his show on Monday, “You wrote speeches for him. I campaigned for him. We’re implicated in this, for sure. It’s not enough to say, ‘Well, I changed my mind,’ or like, ‘This is bad. I’m out.’ It’s like, in very small ways, but in real ways, you and me and millions of people like us are the reason this is happening right now.”

Hard for me to get worked up over this. I mean, AIPAC and others do a very effective job of rooting out candidates who don't support Israel from government.
As long as both sides are using legal, non-violent, democratic means to sway voters and lobby elected officials, I'm fine with it, except AIPAC should probably register as a foreign agent since it appears to be acting on behalf of a foreign country.

You probably know this, but on the crows, I wait for them to be around. Then I go outside and yell at them, while looking at them, and spread peanuts. And then walk away so they know I am not trying to trap them.
They always show up right after, maybe 5 minutes or so after I leave.

Is Ace saying it was exactly 6,000,000? I always thought the round numbers were estimates from the Soviets, since they were the first on the scene and to do an analysis. I guess we are relying on the Nazi reputation for exacting precision in carrying out their horrible goals.

He got a bad case of "religious revelation" from what I can see. He was the "least religious Christian", but then just overnight started claiming a rebirth in faith and telling longer-term Christians what is consistent with their faith and what isn't.
Tucker got good at knocking down Dems to the point that they no longer wanted to even go on his show to run out the clock and concern troll. But he's always shown a slight tendency not to regulate his speech and effuse too much. Even back when he was perhaps my favorite commentator.

I consider media personalities the same as carny barkers myself so I never gave a shit what Tucker said anyway nor his interviews.
The conservatives on the right spend a lot of time focusing on personalities and the fact that someone in the 'media' said something nice about conservatism. And they get their hearts broken again and again when media whores turn on them--see Robert Costa, David Brooks, Nicole Wallace, etc. etc. well before Qatarlson.
To appear in TV media requires those in it to essentially be actors playing scripted parts. For example, we did not get a glimpse of folksy Walter Cronkite's severe leftist bent until after Uncle Walter was already retired. He was acting just like a criminal does so they can slip in the knife, do the long con, etc. to their audience.
Now Qatarlson is essentially retired just like Me Again, both show their real ugly selves that have been hidden by a team of producers on networks that hid their personalities from the audiences.
Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Honestly all he is doing is playing himself. But clearly his paymasters think this alters the conversation around Trump and makes it seem less like Demofags screaming into a useless void.

How's that going for them?? Right, Cucker got serious thrashing from Trump, their buddy got kicked out of DNI's office for leaking, and Cucker's son got purged out of the administration. I don't buy the stupid story that they waited 4 months to transition him. It takes days to replace a Cabinet Secretary. You don't no four months to move out some VP aid. But somebody in the administration was looking out for him, and gave him free 4 month of paychecks to see if he can land somewhere else. But no one in DC wanted him, and Ds have their own grifters to employ. So daddy needed to set up a "firm" for him to land. Maybe Vance is thinking of hiring him '28 and using campaign funds to pay for his "consulting". LOL.

They are Germans. And recorded a lot.
The Holocaust has often been turned into a narrative- by a lot of people. This is not to say that the Jews were not specifically targeted, but a lot of other groups were. The Gypsies for example also had massive losses, but they are often lost in the muddle (or they do not care to do PR.) Political prisoners, the mentally infirm (who were targeted by most of the west for sterilization), etc.
I have had always had a problem with the narratives, which often feels like what we are told, even if with the best of intentions. I find it of a piece with glossing over the Purges of the Stalin era (or just saying they only happened because Stalin.) Or the Cultural Revolution. Or any and all of them.

I always thought this was the case as well, garrett ... however, per Brave Search "AI":
"Soviet forces arrived to liberate the Nazi concentration camps first.
. The Soviet Red Army was the first Allied force to encounter and liberate a major Nazi camp, capturing Majdanek in Poland on July 22–23, 1944.
. They subsequently liberated other major camps, including Auschwitz on January 27, 1945, as well as Stutthof, Sachsenhausen, and Ravensbrück.
. American forces were the first to liberate camps in the West, with Ohrdruf being the first camp freed by the U.S. Army on April 4, 1945, followed by Buchenwald and Dachau in April and May 1945.
. British forces also played a significant role, liberating camps in northern Germany such as Bergen-Belsen and Neuengamme in April 1945."

This is an op -- let me explain.
1. The muslims push for this.
2. Everyone reacts with shock "not who we are." laws are passed, standards are established. You do not call out people based on their religion. Period.
3. Muzzies are protected.
There is no "moderate" conquest of the world in the name of allah. There is no sharia or koran following that is compatible with the West. But to survive we must abandon some of the things that define us - freedoms and equality. Freedom to call for jihad and preach islam, and equality of those who want to destroy us.
They understand this and want to solidify those defining pillars of the West knowing that they will be our downfall. Tucker is working for them.

I really wish heretics would simply quit trying to call themselves Christian whether Qatarlson or this twit.
Those folks practicing Wicca, crystals, or some other twaddle are more honorable than those that adopt the outside branding on a Christian but then use that to create their own religion.
Irenaeus of Lyon had their number in the second century AD in his Heresies book which basically lays out the template for every single heresy we see today in Christianity. All comes down to centering a religion on what people want to do rather than obey the word of the Lord.

You have been reported to PETA for a murder prosecution, criminal!
/As a teenager nearly 50 years ago, I was driving home to Las Vegas from nearby Mt. Charleston one night (very dark surroundings) when I suddenly spied a large (maybe great horned?) owl on the road in front of me in my headlights.
I tried to slam on the breaks but it was too late. The owl tried a vertical liftoff at the last second and slammed into my windshield.
I felt awful and had never hit anything before in a car. I was kind of shaken and didn't know if I should turn around to see if it was okay, or still alive and badly wounded, or dead ,,, but figured the damage had been done so kept driving.

It is a slur just like going after Jews that support Israel by calling them Zionist.
Akin to the left calling out Christian Nationalism as the biggest threat to the world by which they mean their politics.
Zionism becomes a threat to the Muslims or leftist nutjobs because it is a barrier to get what they want--some sort of deranged idea of an ummah/Rousseau's popular will where everyone must share the same values or be destroyed.
They want Israel and Jews gone because they are different, they want Christians gone that are faithful because they are different. Both have values that are not susceptible being crushed and subjugated to the vanguard of the Proletariat or the chosen of Allah. Red/Green alliance indeed.

We had a baby crow in our driveway for a few days. Apparently, the parents boot them out of the next and let them survive while they keep watch.
I went out with a handful of dog kibble. The parents are screaming at me, the baby is looking terrified and I just set the kibble down where he could see it and walked away.
About two weeks later, we had a huge flock of crows in the surrounding trees so I guess I passed some kind of test.

Almost? Absolutely relegated to lesser status.
If you point out how the Communists were significantly worse than the Nazis, 9 in 10 people will give you the dull-eyed stare of a dairy cow, because that doesn't compute.
It's simple to understand why. The Communists won. Assume the Nazis had won, and stamped out Communism, and sent us packing... by 1950, our Communists would all become ardent Nazis and bemoan the fate of the kulaks and the peasants, and make eggs-and-omelettes rationalizations to downplay the Holocaust.

He went into this period where he really thrived on headpats from old-fashioned liberals like Greenwald and Schellenberger, and that drove him to be more-conscientious-than-thou to the point that on the still-quite-lib Joe Rogan show he thought he would impress him by making an unequivocal statement about the "evil" of Hiroshima.
And, again, even while I was a fan, I noticed tendencies that weren't so good, and this one is key: Tucker can confuse doubling down with integrity.
In other words, he over effused in one minute so "consistency" is doubling down to how he felt in that moment.
I really think this is the migration that Carlson is doing.

There are several factors to this, but one that gets missed is, I don't know what you'd call it, cultural arrogance, maybe.
The Holocaust was done by "civilized" people in Europe.

The Morning Rant
Oil development off Santa Barbara County’s Gaviota Coast has long turned on fine legal margins — interstate versus intrastate, State Fire Marshal versus the U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, court orders versus claims of immunity. On Friday morning, in the Santa Barbara courtroom of Judge Donna Geck, one of those margins snapped into focus. Geck refused to lift the injunction blocking Sable Offshore Corp. from restarting its pipeline system — even as oil continues to flow. That alone might sound like just procedural sparring, but this time, the ruling did something new: It rejected, for the first time, Sable’s argument that a federal order issued under the Defense Production Act allows it to sidestep state law and the court’s prior orders. “This is the first time a court has recognized that the Defense Production Act order does not relieve Sable of its requirements under state law,” said Talia Nimmer, staff attorney at the Center for Biological Diversity (CBD).
Even this article in the local rabid-leftist Santa Barbara newspaper exposes the contradictions in the attempt to supersede federal law with state regulation. Luckily the company is seemingly telling the judge to pound sand and continues to pump oil. You know, for national defense requirements that are self evident to anyone with a pulse and a passing familiarity with current events. But the arrogance of a low-level functionary in the California court system is breathtaking. This wasn't a holding that pushed it up the ladder to courts that might actually have some sane legal perspective (although it's CA so probably not). No, this was a demand to stop, on pain of penalty. There is no sense that the federal government might actually have standing, or that the administration's use of the Defense Production Act might be of national import. No...this was simply the amazing self-centeredness of a rabid environmentalist with a soupçon of Trump Derangement Syndrome, all topped with a California leftist's hatred of all things military. So OF COURSE this hack in black was going to try to stop the oil from flowing. She got her 15 minutes, and when she next goes to her favorite vegan lunch cooperative for a meal, the other patrons will stand and clap, and she will bask in their adulation! Never mind that America probably needs that oil to flow for national security reasons that are far more important than the remote possibility that some tidal snail's habitat gets a bit of oil in it. And yes, that is mockery of the environmentalists and their insanity. America is cleaner now than it has ever been in the industrial age, and using the increasingly hypothetical risk of environmental damage to do real damage to our country is tantamount to supporting Iran and the terror networks that America is trying to destroy.

Her resume is unimpressive -- with a "journalism" degree! -- and she was probably an ambulance chaser before being appointed to the bench.
"Judge Donna D. Geck received a BA degree in Journalism from Marquette University and a Juris Doctorate Degree With Distinction from the University of North Dakota Law School. Judge Geck is a member of the Order of the Coif. Judge Donna Geck was appointed to the bench by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in June 2010. Prior to her elevation to the bench, Judge Geck was licensed to practice in four States. Her practice was exclusively civil litigation including jury trials, court trials, arbitrations and mediations."

Actually I was early on to that idea. I have gotten the vibe that I might be the only one here that voted for Trump in 2016 for judge selection alone.
I called it a "better gamble" than that Hillary Clinton is going to select a judge that would not have swayed NFIB v. Sebelius into nightmare territory.
We were one vote away from the Supreme Court arguing that Congress' power to control commerce had lead to Congress' power to compel individual action in the marketplace.
I'm decades on this subject, and a long time scoffer at the ACLU's pretense of defending "everyone's rights". So much of this country was changed not from referendum, but from experts and elites surmising and making arguments and reinterpretations of representative-made laws in the courts.
Heck, the way the courts have commandeered the 14th amendment--as if the explicit power doesn't belong by referendum in Congress, is ample illustration of the damage the least representative branch in government can do.

I think it's because the same cartel judge has refused the removal.
Where Louisiana wanted their $700 million environmental damages against oil companies.
An issue that just went to SCOTUS and lost 8-0--if it implicates national security and is done because the federal government requested, it belongs in federal court.
But it gets worse because the oil company in CA is being hauled into her court again--but in two months--to explain why they shouldn't be held in contempt.
If it was an illegal who raped kids being threatened with deportation, this bitch would jump to attention and bend over to save him.
But here, it's just an American company losing millions so she's dragging her feet to prevent a final ruling so they can appeal and get removal.

Of course they require ID for big recycling dumps. Why? Because it's about the only thing these cocksuckers care about: money. Recyclers from out of state were dropping off tons of bottles, so CT was paying out big money for bottles sold outside the state.

A woman stands in a print-seller’s shop, beside her a boy, her brother, stands carrying a portfolio under his arm. The black dress and hood she wears tell of a recent loss. She is not wearing a mourning ring though, so she and her brother are probably orphans. Behind the counter to the right is the print-seller, a portly gentlemen, inspecting a small painting, a still life perhaps—the genre that, through lack of access to the life model, tended to be favored by women artists.

The anxious pose of the woman, her downcast eyes, her left shoulder coiled inwards as though guarding herself against the dealer’s critical gaze and the way, too, her hands toy nervously with a length of string, may lead us to assume that the painting is her own work. Her defensiveness is justified. The chair to the right is empty, the dealer having made no attempt at courtesy by offering her a seat. In the doorway another woman and boy make their way out, some rolled up sheets under the arm of the latter, while outside in the rain a woman is just visible walking along the pavement sheltering herself with an umbrella.

"The rich man's wealth is his strong city, etc." - Proverbs, x, 15
Emily Mary Osborn
Excellent story telling in a painting. I like it a great deal & would hang it.
This print reproduces a painting (Tate Britain) exhibited by Osborn at the Royal Academy in 1857. When a subsequent owner lent the work to the International Exhibition in 1862, this related wood engraving was published in the "Illustrated London News." It shows a young woman artist, accompanied by a brother, standing nervously in the shop of an art dealer whom she hopes will buy a work—her black dress suggests the recent loss of parents and their support.
Osborn added a Biblical quote to her title, "Nameless and Friendless: 'The rich man’s wealth is his strong city, etc.'—Proverbs, x, 15," to emphasize the plight of women artists who lacked financial means and were denied institutional access. The work should be read as a plea for reform rather than an illustration of personal experience, since Osborn's own family funded her training, and she sold paintings to influential clients such as Queen Victoria. From 1857, Osborn was active in feminist causes, ... (more)

But the perspective seems way off. Look at the boy in the back, and he seems taller than than the one in front, but so far away. Judging from the tiles, or the counter, the figures in rear should be smaller. Same with clerk and guy on ladder. just all confusing.
I can't tell if this is widow selling stuff to survive, or female painter. I lean toward the latter, but why she also looks to be in mourning. Not sure. And who is the kid? She looks too young, so maybe brother?

Blackadder: Have you ever been to Wales, Baldrick?
Baldrick: No, but I've often thought I'd like to.
Blackadder: Well don't. It's a ghastly place. Huge gangs of tough, sinewy men roam the Valleys, terrorising people with their close-harmony singing. You need half a pint of phlegm in your throat just to pronounce the place names. Never ask for directions in Wales, Baldrick. You'll be washing spit out of your hair for a fortnight.
Baldrick: So being Prince of it isn't considered a plus?

"Like a continuous narrative (where we see more than one moment of time within a single canvas), do these peripheral figures hint at what awaits the woman and her brother, who, failing to sell her work, will soon be back walking the street? The orthogonal lines in the painting would seem to support this view, pointing conspicuously to the door as they do. So too, of course, does the title of the work, Nameless and Friendless, suggesting that without the necessary connections, a woman artist stands little chance of finding professional success."

These greedy dullards actually believe that the scrap of paper they spent $200k+ obtaining from the education collectives entitles them to a life of luxury.
And the only reason they don't have that is because billionaires stole it from them.
They'd rather live in a country of zero billionaires, and peck shit with the chickens, than in a country of 1k, where they can live a life of luxury that kings 200 years ago would envy.

"An ActBlue spokesperson insists that it has "always been forthcoming with Congress." That’s a rather dubious claim, considering the evidence and the fact that the company’s employees invoked the Fifth Amendment 146 times. It’s also important to note that these allegations aren’t just coming from the GOP. As the report notes, “It is not only the Committees that allege this — it is what ActBlue’s own outside lawyers found during a legal review of the platform’s fraud-prevention practices and statements to Congress.”
The committees put it bluntly in their report: "The crux of this misconduct is simple: ActBlue appears to have accepted illegal foreign donations en masse and tried to cover it up, lying to and withholding information from Congress in the process."
- I wonder what the odds are that ActBlue gets shut down, and that another, identical and illegal system will replace it.

The Morning Report — 4/ 21/26
Israel on Monday exposed the global terror network operated by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) through its covert “Unit 4000,” detailing how the apparatus directed plots against Israeli officials, embassies, and strategic infrastructure worldwide while key commanders were killed during the U.S.-Israel campaign against Iran. According to the joint statement, members of the cell were arrested with explosive drones and fragmentation charges they had smuggled into the country, after gathering intelligence on targets through surveillance and photography under direct orders from handlers in Iran. . . The arrests led Israeli intelligence agencies to uncover the broader structure and chain of command of Unit 4000, a covert division within the IRGC’s intelligence apparatus responsible for directing terrorist activity abroad against Israeli and Western targets, including attempts to smuggle advanced weaponry into Israel.Remember that "Global" doesn't just mean Israel since given the nature of our pre-Trump era nearly non-existent southern border or even the smallest iota of an illusion of border security going back decades, and with Iranian agents operating with impunity all over Latin America (especially Cavez/Maduro ruled Venezuela), it's safe to assume that quite a few Iranian and other Islamic terror cells have made it over the border along with the wetback lettuce and grape-pickers. That said, it's I was expecting some sort of Iranian backed or executed terror attack on our soil, despite the decapitation strikes on Iran's military and intelligence leadership. It's a good thing that our law enforcement and intelligence agencies are fully on board with protecting the American homeland and citizenry. Okay you can stop laughing, and start weeping:
Maryland’s new immigration enforcement restrictions are drawing sharp pushback from law enforcement, who warn the “sanctuary” shift undermines public safety and cooperation with ICE. . . . Maryland is flexing its “sanctuary state” muscles, working against its own citizens in an effort to protect illegal immigrant criminals who are acting in the state. Ridiculous. And the reasoning behind this is even worse. Senator Mary Beth Carozza noted the following: “Maryland Sheriffs have warned that legislation like this could actually increase the presence of ICE agents in Maryland. Without open lines of communication, we are only raising the chances that Maryland could become the next Minnesota. But it’s funny. When you actually ask law enforcement about how something like this can take effect, you get a much different answer.Yes, multi-billion dollar grifting as well as rapes, robberies and murder are bad enough but as noted above potential mass casualty terrorist events are quite something else. Yes, it's encouraging that the author notes "Pushback" from Maryland's law enforcement rank and file, but unless the latter en masse informs the MD governor and legislature that they will disregard and disobey this illegal and insane law by fully cooperating with ICE, it's just just hot air. Take a stand or dry up and go away. Have a great day! And lastly, a quick shout-out and a huge thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

The subpoenas of the FBI and other intelligence officials were issued after the DOJ had directed an attorney aligned with President Donald Trump to take over the investigation, according to CBS News. The probe into Brennan centers around false statements he provided to Congress regarding his involvement in investigations between the Russian government and Trump’s 2016 campaign.

File this under, what were they thinking category.
Johnny Somali has appealed his light sentence. The prosecution then filed their appeal over the light six-month sentence.
This means Johnny stays in a detention center until the new trial starts which maybe in September at the earliest. Johnny's appeal and the prosecution's appeal will go before a three judge panel at that time, Bong Bong and others will probably have to testify again.
If Johnny Somali had stayed quiet and the prosecution had not appealed, Jonny would have been released in November. Before winter really starts to set in in South Korea.

If there's a shock win, it's b/c the power struggle of minority vs white Ds and north vs south Ds surprises the Yes vote.
I mean, Fairfax is gonna overwhelmingly go Yes b/c why wouldn't it? 5 seats to protect one county - if you could have extra power, why wouldn't a self-interested party take it?
Thus, we'll see if the other Dem counties want to give Fairfax that much power...they might...they might not.
Other than Fairfax, I don't know how cleanly Ds split on Yes and No for this vote.

The left isn't.
What has become more obvious than ever is that Trump is leading a movement to overturn years of globalist policy to weaken the western powers through mass migration, increase China's power as a counter to the US and make Iran the center of power in the Middle East. The policies and actions his administration are taking are all connected in overturning that plan and the globalist left is fighting back hard with government and non-government aligned powers.
Leftists are now openly cheering for Iran to defeat Trump and fighting to keep all illegals in the US including violent criminals. They are stealing our taxes and sending them to criminal cartels overseas. They are demonizing Israel while covering for mass murdering Islamic terrorists.
This is a fight for western values and the left is on the other side.

Sprue Brothers is having a 20% off sale of Hasegawa and Great Wall kits.
Even at 20% off, the price of the Great Wall 1/32 Curtiss Hawk 82 is still insane.

TBH the best way to resolve this is to have right leaning judges do the same.
A couple of district/appeals courts ruling the income tax is actually unconstitutional because of reasons for example would actually motivate the SC to actually address this stuff.

We are dealing with the result of allowing our public schools to become far left indoctrination centers that produced generations of kids absolutely believe that the US is a force for evil in the world, communism is good and tiny Israel is the center of evil in the world. The are mini Terminators of stupid. They can't be reasoned with and they won't stop until they are stopped and we now have a legal system that in many places refuses to punish them.
Trump was the only person I've seen in years who seems to get it and is willing to sacrifice everything to lead the fight. The fight is going to take a long time, well after Trump is gone, but at least now we have a shot.

~~ Mollie Hemingway quoting Justice Alito
=========================
Disturbingly, many casual lefties have abandoned freedom in favor of government, even bohemian sorts who would miss freedom most acutely. Some of my oldest friends have moved into this category, convinced somehow that they themselves must sacrifice freedom to save the climate, or to protect abortion, or to stop imperial America from controlling other countries. Or whatever.
Very sad.

And this harks back to what I was talking about yesterday - why aren't those six assholes in prison right now for insurrection? I can only think of a few reasons:
- Trump doesn't have the balls;
- Trump's people would not obey his orders;
- Trump doesn't have the political capital;
- The GOP would impeach his ass in a NY minute;
- The Seditious Six have some sort of congressional immunity;
- Congress would circle the wagons to protect their 'collegiality'
None of these reasons give me any hope for true, lasting change post-Trump. I still say the GOP deserves to lose the midterms.

Republicans and conservative voters need to understand two very deadly things:
1) the level of hatred they have for Trump (who is just a proxy for anything and anyone "not-leftist"). It is an all-consuming, raging, unstoppable hatred that drives everything they do and say.
2) the complete corruption at all levels of government. That every local, state and federal government spending is a version of a "Friends and Family Enrichment" program.

I think this is one of those polling question things.

Here Trump's team messaging has been solid. They just keep calling them illegals.

Yep, order of questions, polling language, etc. can affect results.
And there is serious money behind the continuing attempts at amnesty and the various work visas that far too many employers, including small businesses and farms, want cheap labor so they can make more money. Labor in many fields is about 60-70 percent of all expenditures in a business so owners pay less for labor=more profit.

The problem is most people don't realize what Trump is and the skills and the spine he brings to the table. Also he is better at what the Left does than the Left and that's what we need.
I don't think there is anyone behind him that could survive even a tiny fraction of the onslaught. For three days, let alone a decade.
He has given us a chance and God certainly spared him for a reason. So I hang on to that.

This is the very definition of an ongoing criminal enterprise, the core of a RICO case. On March 26, I described the Southern District of Florida grand jury subpoenas to Comey and Brennan as the potential RICO hammer finally dropping on a decade-long conspiracy, even as the DOJ is continuing to purge holdovers who have been dragging their feet. Because the enterprise is treated as ongoing, statutes of limitations do not shield the participants. Moving the case to Florida avoids the deeply conflicted D.C. venue and gives accountability a real chance to stick.

62 == 70% of 67 (but it's recalculated monthly, I believe, so you could retire at 66.5 and get most of the 67 money).
70 == 124% of 67 (I think this one is calculated annually, naturally).
I don't believe that there is any benefit to waiting past 70.

2) "Billionaires stole my Lambo!" They've convinced their young voters their education certificates entitled them to a 6k sqft house, 6-figure income and a Lambo.
And the only reason they don't have that is because billionaires stole it from them.

- The GOP would impeach his ass in a NY minute;
- The Seditious Six have some sort of congressional immunity;

None of these reasons give me any hope for true, lasting change post-Trump. I still say the GOP deserves to lose the midterms.

I knew a man I considered a friend who, at the beginning of the COVID panic locked himself and his wife inside their house for a year, never leaving, never allowing anyone over. They had food delivered to their front door where it would be dropped off, with only electronic communications between them and the deliverers.
They voluntarily placed themselves into solitary confinement for a year based on nothing but their own fears. I’ve never had anything to do with either of them since, I found their behavior too disgusting to forgive or forget.

Too much about marijuana legalization was based on 1970's era potency where the risk from smoking it was more its effect on cancer than permanent damage. Today's stuff is much higher in THC along with newer delivery routes for that THC like edibles and vaping. Like most pharmacology--the dose determines the poison.
You can see the effects in driving accidents and deaths and this tidbit, "Marijuana/hashish is the most commonly used drug among incarcerated populations in the United States, with approximately 77% to 78% of state prisoners and jail inmates reporting lifetime use. " Plus, "Current Use: Between 40% and 56% of state prisoners reported using marijuana in the month before their offense"

My wife and I saved a lot of money over our working years. We both had professional jobs and our peak times didn't align so we didn't spend much. As a result, we're fortunate enough to be able to retire without SS. I'm holding off on taking it so that I can perform some Roth conversions. I may end up getting less back from the government but, for me, the trade off is worth it.

More than 250 journalists, including Dan Rather and Sam Donaldson, have signed an open letter demanding that the White House Correspondents’ Association turn this Saturday’s dinner into a stage for a direct, “forceful” confrontation with President Donald Trump.
The letter, sent to the WHCA on Monday, calls on the organization to use the podium at the 2026 White House Correspondents’ Dinner to deliver a “forceful defense of freedom of the press and condemnation of those who threaten that freedom, followed by a standing toast to the First Amendment.”
“Speak forcefully, in front of the man who seeks to undermine our country’s long tradition of an independent, strong, and free press,” the letter says.

The ICC was created during a UN conference in Rome in 1998, and has since been ratified by 125 countries. The US (thank you Asshat Clinton) signed on to the original Rome report but never ratified the treaty itself. After October 7, the ICC sided with Hamas and issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu and the Israeli Defense Minister.
And now Hungary says they will enforce it, insultingly.

Can't get away from basic pharmacology--the dose of the active ingredient determines whether it is a poison or not. "Prior to the 1990s it was less than 2%. In the 1990s it grew to 4%, and between 1995 and 2015 there has been a 212% increase in THC content in the marijuana flower. In 2017 the most popular strains found in dispensaries in Colorado had a range of THC content from 17–28% such as found in the popular strain named “Girl Scout Cookie.”2 Sadly these plants producing high levels of THC are incapable of producing much CBD, the protective component of the plant so these strains have minimal CBD. For example the Girl Scout Cookie strain has only 0.09–0.2% CBD.
The flower or leaves that are generally smoked or vaped are only one formulation. We now have concentrated THC products such as oil, shatter, dab, and edibles that have been able to get the THC concentration upwards of 95%. "

How is a lowly Santa Barbara County judge more powerful than the president
A county judge in Santa Barbara has decided that she has more power than the President of the United States to regulate American energy supplies in wartime.
Last month, Trump invoked the Defense Production Act to allow Sable Offshore Corp. to resume operations, pumping 60,000 barrels per day to expand domestic supply and reduce prices.
It is the same power that Joe Biden used in 2022 to order the production of baby formula.
So what gives a lowly Santa Barbara Superior Court judge the power to override federal, and presidential, authority?
Nothing.
The net effect of Judge Donna Geck’s ruling is that Sable has to stop producing oil. Perhaps for months.

Same difference between drinking a beer everyday versus drinking a fifth of Everclear daily.
No one seriously here would be making comments about how drinking the fifth of Everclear per day is beneficial. It has all kinds of pain relief too as you would be comatose.
And driving drunk or driving stoned results in markedly higher risk of fatal/injury collisions as well as plain old accidents.
They don't test routinely in plain accidents as they probably should so the figures on impaired driving are actually lower than they should be. Accidents involving fatalities or severe injuries usually end up with drivers viewed at fault being forced to take alcohol and drug testing.

It's a good thing I lived a solitary life before marrying HM. Being by myself doesn't bother me. When she's on the road, I call at 7:00 AM to check in and that may be it for the day apart from the odd text message.

Except -- Yesterday I went out to wash the car at a self-serve place. The surfaces dried almost before I could dry them, leaving some faint spots despite the "spot-free" rinse. Which is why I always dry my car instead of depending on "spot-free." Still, as I was coming back to the Buick after my burger at Bogey's, a senior citizen climbing out of his SUV called, "Pretty car!"

Being open source is NOT what makes the code insecure.
"Open source" mean anyone can read the programming.

I got this text this evening:
You're making a huge mistake continuing to ignore us like this. We're asking one last time. Verify your voter profile ASAP. >> win26.io/le5v2b
It's from "WinRed," and directs to some stupid questionnaire from the NRSC. It is a perfect example of why the Republican Party sucks, and why we will never achieve the electoral success of the Democrats without wholesale changes. And by changes I mean the destruction of the Corporate GOP apparatus and its replacement with rabble-rousing young conservatives who hate the GOPe. By the way, here is my answer:

All good so far, though I haven't checked the bookstores. I know they have some. Their downtown is amazing: a super wide main street with angle parking, no parking garages or meters (though the angle spots are three hours only, but I can live with that). Lots of different, thriving stores.
I won't incite hilarity among the patrons of this fine blog by mentioning the price range I'm hoping to stay within.

Leaf lard, per Ben Had, to be precise. Reco'd for fruit/sweet pie crusts - apparently a neutral flavor, so also OK for savory (might just use salted butter for those combos).

We're asking one last time.
Verify your voter profile ASAP. >> win26.io/le5v2b"
I am wondering who thought this was a good idea. One thing I have noticed is that the more recent generations have ... issues communicating properly. In a tone and manner that actually works. Even though they are 'writing' more than almost any preceding generation before them with texting, they seem to lack all decorum when doing so. It's as though they cannot predict how what they write will be interpreted in text without context- even though they communicate in the same way all the time.
A better way to say it might have been: 'With the issues we face, please lend your support. We cannot afford not to fight these battles.' Make it a group thing rather than a confrontational, insulting mess that a retard wrote.
Just my two cents.
Thanks for the ONT.

Never heard of that variation- did it take forever?
Our version was:

2) no license plates
3) You can use any roadside signs or lettering on trucks.
We were all so close together in age, that the much younger annoying sibling wasn't an issue.

I was doing my usual "one-weird-trick" of using a sheet of cardboard to deflect the oil into my used oil basin, when I noticed the big dip pan under the basin was rapidly filling with oil. My plastic oil drain basin had a crack in it at about the 2-quart level.
$10 worth of Pig Mat later, I had most of the oil mopped up. I was glad to find I could wring out a sheet of Pig Mat and use it a couple of times. Then I got to deal with the stuck oil filter, which felt like some inbred, mouth-breathing hillbilly had installed it with an impact wrench, even though I know it was me who put it on, just a hair past finger-tight. Nearly two hours after I started, I was finally done with a 30 minute job.

The Buick doesn't have a tire light, but the TPMS reports in near-real time: After a lag, the readout shows you the PSI in each tire. If there is a sudden loss of pressure, such as in a blowout, the system spits out a warning

All good so far, though I haven't checked the bookstores. I know they have some. Their downtown is amazing: a super wide main street with angle parking, no parking garages or meters (though the angle spots are three hours only, but I can live with that). Lots of different, thriving stores.
I won't incite hilarity among the patrons of this fine blog by mentioning the price range I'm hoping to stay within.

Until now, overseas transfers of domestically produced finished products have been limited to rescue, transportation, vigilance, surveillance, and minesweeping (the so-called "five types"), but with this amendment, in principle, all defense equipment can be transferred.
As the security environment becomes increasingly difficult, no country can now protect its own peace and security with just one country...partner countries are expressing their expectations for the defense equipment that Japan is developing under the concept of "exclusive defense."
Meeting these needs and transferring defense equipment will contribute to improving the defense capabilities of these countries and ultimately preventing conflict from occurring, thereby ensuring Japan's security...

Back in the day you could find 40 acre parcels for 10 or 20 grand. Hard to find now. I've been eyeballing a place called Yerrington for a while now. 10 acres for about $20,000 is more the going rate. There was a guy selling 40s for $5,000 a few years ago out on I80 between Button Point and Golconda but I think he passed away.
The property is weird out here. The railroads got paid in land so there are checkerboards all along wherever there was track laid. A lot of the private property is landlocked by federal property.

We once were in Salinas on the hottest temp of the day in the USA...120. Car overheated on new road Driving from the Intermountain West to MS, married 1yr.
I nearly overheated, & was busy keeping our husky/malamute/German shepherd doggie alive...feeding her ice from the cooler. She was super hot & I had to force it on her. Normally she would have wanted to be barking & biting strangers.
My husband did something & we decided to quit driving early for the day. Found the first motel & it had blissful A/C. Our pup lay down & was in heaven, as were we, in the AC. Watched black & white TV...I think Andy Griffith...in nirvana. Got something for dinner & left the next morning under cooler weather & a tornado warning.
Here's a song I like for the road, and may the road not rise up to meet you if you are going too fast (as I tended to do in my prime).Favorite by this band.
Hope Ace feels better soon and the US Navy and Marines take out all the IRGC barbarians soon.
Good night and have a pleasant tomorrow. I will have a good one with 7mo old baby grandgirl all to myself, husband and tulips.

I do believe the main purpose of modern traffic enforcement is to identify and catch the people who they figure will pay the ticket. Perhaps the insurance companies kick back some of the money from the following rate hike even if what brought the ticket caused no claim to be filed by anyone.

For @MorningWire today I spoke to on-the-record sources like @DissidentClint who have worked very closely with Patel and say they have never seen him abuse alcohol.
They further told me that, though they are the obvious people that Fitzpatrick should have contacted for comment, they never heard from her.
Now, @Reuters also says they have been unable to confirm the Atlantic’s claims.
And Reuters further notes that the Atlantic has inexplicably changed the title of the story from “Kash Patel's Erratic Behavior Could Cost Him His Job” to “The FBI Director Is MIA.”

Bezos' New Glans has been grounded by the FAA pending an investigation of the 2nd stage failure.
While the Glans booster re-use and barge landing was a success, the 2nd stage failed to get the payload in the proper orbit. That comms satellite is now unusable and will have to be de-orbited to burn up.
The payload was fully insured. I wonder just how much payload insurance costs for experimental rockets?

have realistic expectations, don't expect to duplicate a good professional crust. Just want mine less chewy. They do vary from one to the other, some better. Pretty much keep same technique (either pastry blender or food processor), everything's very cold, etc. I'll just keep experimenting, including trying shortening again (half shortening/half butter)

Blend flour and shortening with a fork. Use the least amount of water that you can (flour + water = glue), and roll it out on a pastry cloth.

I'm actually pulling for Blue Origin now, really. Competition is good, the more the merrier, and we're gonna need 'em all if we're gonna pull off the Moon landing and Moon base.
Bezos is working on a lander dubbed Blue Moon (I think I would've named it Alice), and they plan a text flight with landing around Shackleton Crater, maybe this year, although I think it will be at least 2027.
Elon's Starship HLS has some delays, and competition from Bezos will help to get their asses -- all their asses -- in gear to do this right.

I warehoused and delivered equipment for AT&T in the mid-late 70s. Worked for a moving, storage, rigging, company. There was one fallout Long Lines facility 40 feet underground in the middle of Harriman State Park in Rockland County, NY. Everything was delivered by a hoist down a shaft. Very little visible above ground, just a little stone building that fit into the Park building motif. Gravel road, don't think many people even notice it.

And something interesting about the shooter in Mexico. It wasn't a Cartelisto it was a Columbine wanna be.
A gunman who opened fire at the Teotihuacan pyramids in Mexico had an AI-generated image of himself with the perpetrators of the Columbine High School massacre. The attack occurred on the anniversary of the shooting

Yep. Soon. Think we've had our last freeze. Such a wonky winter & zip into two weeks of summer & now spring. I need to rip out some plants spread by seed, not a lot of weeds but they annoy me (I forget the name).
Red finches are nesting in a hanging basket on the front porch. I haven't asked them if they are confused as well this year.
I sped on I-55 at the age of 15 as a candy striper. Clocked slowing down at 93mph. Top speed 110mph. Mother had a new & fast V8 station wagon. I only got in trouble because my wicked friend told me I should tell my parents. Mother cried. Daddy yelled (which never scared me). Then apologized the next day for being a bad influence speeding himself the week prior. Bless him. I was never influenced by anyone, I just liked to fly low on the hwy. Glad I lived.
Busy day. Got wrapped up watching The Madison, which showed lovely Big Sky but depressing. I love the Intermountain West.

At least once upon a time they put a bit of effort into making up their preposterous bullshit. "Something about pissing on a bed Obama once slept it... maybe work in a hooker or two. A Russian hooker! Dammit, Jenkins, do I have to do everything around here? You're supposed to be the Ideas Guy. Have it on my desk by morning." At least they cared.
Now it's all "Fuck it, just say he's a drunk or something, whatever".
It's not the falseness of the allegation that rankles. It's the brazen lack of craftmanship.

That image always reminds The Wifey of the film "My Own Private Idaho."
About 15 years ago we both had some time off of work and she mentioned a desire to find such a locale. We drove from SoCal up to the Sawtooth Mountains in Idaho, but didn't find it.
Then we drove over to Montana (my family is and were all from Butte) and still didn't find it.
Then somewhere between Butte and Yellowstone National Park, we suddenly came upon a long straight two-lane road -- with no other vehicles in sight -- that looked exactly like the image up top.
We stopped the car in the middle of the road, got out, and took a photo very similar to this one, thus fulfilling her wish -- albeit in Montana rather than Idaho.

He posted the uncut clip, and at the beginning you'll see the iPhone camera adjusting to get everything in focus. You'll note a bunch of little globules appearing there.
That is dust and stuff floating inside the capsule. The other stuff includes well, little flecks of dead skin, little cough droplets -- say it don't spray it -- and the other stuff people and equipment shed all the time. In zero-g, that stuff just floats around until it finally gets removed by the filters in the air circulation system.

I drove out to the local burger and ice cream place, Bogey's. It's a little one-room place that looks like it ought to be a bar; you have to stand in line to place your order. But the bacon cheeseburger was just the right size, they left out the onions as I requested, and even the small ice cream cup was pretty good-sized, all for less then $10. I had trouble believing their online prices -- $3.49 for a basic burger??? -- but that's for real. They don't have a real wait staff, which helps keep prices down.
Too windy outside to enjoy a pipe, so I think I'll just flake out here.

PITTSBURGH, April 16, 2026 – U. S. Steel today announced plans to restart the Gary Tin Mill at the company’s Gary Works facility, positioning the company to increase domestic tin mill production and provide customers with American made supply.
The planned restart requires sustained customer interest in securing long term domestic tin mill supply
and U. S. Steel’s belief that demand can be met by increased U.S. production when market conditions allow for fair competition. The restart is intended to provide customers greater access to reliable, American made tin mill products—mined, melted, and made in America—as part of a more balanced domestic supply mix.
It looks like 225 jobs directly created per US Steel's webpage

Basic buttercream frosting:
1 16 oz package powdered sugar
6 tbsp softened butter
3-4 tbsp milk
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1/8 tsp salt
Put about half of the sugar, all the milk and butter and vanilla and salt in a bowl. Blend with mixer starting on low. Slowly add the remaining sugar. Mix until smooth and the consistency you want. Add more milk a teaspoon or 2 at a time to get it the right consistency.
Super simple.

I don't think cats hate it, not all of them. They simply *expect* the food and water, and look forward to the entertainment we humans provide -- either using toys to play with them, or the screaming and jumping up and down that we do when the cats destroy something. (True, the late Chekov did not seem happy when I went ballistic after he destroyed a lamp. But Marie-Antoinette took a positive joy in knocking things, including expensive watches, off tables.)

Just make sure the butter is softened--room temp, not refrigerated. Otherwise, you'll have to whip it for freakin'ever to get the butter chunks blended in.

Gonna add some unsweetened cocoa powder to this as is looks like the consistent advise in this thread for the base. Like Ben Had also suggested I looked it up and the cocoa powder seems to be the popular chocolate ingredient. Now I have to go find that and return the Hershey bars. Ok maybe I’ll just keep those.

Easy Chocolate frosting
⅔ cup cocoa powder
½ cup salted butter, melted
3 cups confectioners' sugar
5 tablespoons milk, plus more if needed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Whisk cocoa powder and warm melted butter together in a large bowl; let sit for 2 minutes. Beat in confectioners sugar, 5 tablespoons milk, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until well blended, smooth, and creamy, about 2 minutes, adding 1 or 2 tablespoons more milk as needed until reaches desired consistency.

I continue to strive and struggle to improve my pie crust for all kinds of pies, savory and fruit, and quiches. The crust generally is fine, but I really want to replicate commercial flakiness.
But I haven't done much with cakes, which is why the French apple cake is so handy. Have my mother's Sunbeam mixer - works fine. Should probably sell it as a collectible on eBay and finally say yes to good friend's wife who has long offered to give me their Kitchenaid, which she just doesn't use. But it's sort of cool to use something I clearly remember from when my sister and I would be begging to "clean" the bowls and blender attachments after mom made sugar cookies.

There is, or used to be a few years ago, a program called CODOFIL -- Council on the Development of French in Louisiana. I don't know if it was sponsored by LSU or by the Feds or the state.

Mom was the baker from hell, and my father has the sweet tooth from hell, and now his source of endless chocolate cakes, and brownies, and other goodies were gone. In desperation he learned how to bake. He makes his chocolate cakes from scratch, no box mix, and they are amazing, moist right down the pan. Now he bakes all kinds of things. Damn if he didn't master that shit. Mrs B is the baker from hell, and he is right on her heels. If my father can do it, I think just about anybody could do it. The only thing my father knew about ovens is how to install them.

I make apple crisp, it is chopped up apples with a topping of a cup of rolled oats, a half cup of brown sugar, 1/4 cup of flour, and 1/2 cup of butter, mixed together until it is crumbs. The topping goes on top of the apples, and bake at 350F for 40-45 minutes.
it is best with Gravensteins
I also make an apple conserve with shredded apples, it is the same recipe as peach jam. it is good on lots of things.

Their stillsuits seem to be the same T-shirts and shorts I see in Lousy-ana, the "Bart Simpson" look. At the Bogey's burger and ice cream place, despite the good A/C inside and the moderate temps of about 80 outside, the college or high school kids in line ahead of me all looked just like that. So did a lot of the grownups.
In contrast, yours truly wore an untucked collared shirt over a T-shirt, jeans, and boots. Must have looked like formal wear compared to the rest of the patrons.

Quicker Than Usual Hits
We've got another Fani Willis, this time in Utah.
She ruled against the Republicans' redistricting map -- giving the Democrats two unearned seats. She was fucking the Democrat lawyer in the case. She kept it secret and never recused herself.Utah's governor, Senate president and House speaker are launching an investigation into Supreme Court Justice Diana Hagen and allegations that she had a relationship with an attorney arguing cases before the high court. Those allegations are detailed in a complaint submitted late last year to both Chief Justice Matthew Durrant and the Judicial Conduct Commission. The complaint, which was obtained exclusively by KSL through a public records request, came from a Provo-based attorney who said Hagen's ex-husband told him the justice had exchanged "inappropriate" text messages with David Reymann, one of the attorneys involved in a case about redistricting, which led to Utah getting a new congressional map. Hagen strongly denies allegations of an inappropriate relationship of any kind. Reymann also called the allegations "false." He does outside legal work for KSL and as an attorney for the Utah Media Coalition, of which KSL is a member. The Judicial Conduct Commission conducted a preliminary investigation into the complaint and interviewed Hagen's ex-husband but ultimately decided not to investigate further. Gov. Spencer Cox, Senate President Stuart Adams and House Speaker Mike Schultz told KSL that's concerning. "An initial review by the Judicial Conduct Commission and the court left important questions unresolved," they said in a joint statement Thursday. "Allegations of this nature, especially involving public officials, must be examined with transparency and accountability to establish the facts and to maintain public confidence." They added, "We will move forward with an independent investigation to ensure the facts are fully examined. This process will be conducted objectively and thoroughly, because maintaining trust in our institutions is essential." What the allegations say The allegations originally come from Hagen's ex-husband, Tobin Hagen, who said he suspected the justice began having an inappropriate relationship with Reymann, one of the attorneys representing the plaintiffs in the lawsuit over Utah's redistricting maps. Tobin Hagen allegedly described the circumstances surrounding his divorce proceedings to another attorney, including allegations that Diana Hagen had exchanged text messages with Reymann, which Tobin Hagen said began as "silly" and then became "more suggestive." The case, League of Women Voters of Utah v. Utah State Legislature, is arguably the highest-profile legal case to reach the Utah Supreme Court in years. The justices issued a unanimous ruling in July 2024 saying lawmakers overreached by changing Proposition 4, an anti-gerrymandering ballot initiative. Many Republican lawmakers reacted with outrage and promised to continue appealing the case, suggesting it was likely to return to the Supreme Court. The plaintiffs who sued the Legislature filed an additional complaint in the same case later in 2024, challenging Amendment D -- an effort by lawmakers to give themselves power to overturn ballot initiatives. Hagen wrote the majority opinion upholding a lower court ruling invalidating the amendment which was finalized in October 2024.

@TomCotterillX 🚨EXCLUSIVE🚨
SAS soldiers are resigning in significant numbers over fears they will be subjected to "witch hunts" by human-rights lawyers. Multiple sources have claimed that personnel from across 22 SAS, the Army's most elite fighting force, have applied for premature voluntary release. The Telegraph is withholding the exact figure for security reasons. However, several SAS sources have described the recent losses as "significant" and a "threat to national security". At least two squadrons, D and G, are believed to have been affected, with insiders saying outrage over recent war crime probes into Afghanistan and Syria, which have been branded "witch hunts", are believed to be the main driving forces. Among those understood to have resigned include several senior warrant officers, who are the backbone of the special forces and among the most experienced troops in the regiment. A number are understood to have applied for release "on principle" just before Christmas. "Morale is s--t at the moment," one insider with knowledge of the recent losses told me, while another said there was "considerable disquiet" in the regiment as a result. The SAS resignations are a major blow to the famed special forces unit, which is the tip of the spear in any military operation and is deployed globally.

STEFANIK: "Of course it's bad! That is not what he is calling for. He wasn't calling for genocide." TAPPER: "You're entire civilization will die?" STEFANIK: "It was targeted toward the Iranian terrorist regime." TAPPER: "Agree to disagree..." STEFANIK: "This is typical CNN. This is TYPICAL CNN!" "If you want to compare the president of the United States to the university presidents who failed to call for the condemnation of calling for the genocide of Jews, that's on you, Jake." "The world saw how morally equivocating those university presidents were." "If you want to make that comparison, that's on CNN." TAPPER: "I'm just asking you if you have the same standard for somebody...?" STEFANIK: "Of course, genocide is bad across the board, Jake." "President Trump effectively brought the Iranians to the table." "He effectively delivered a ceasefire." "And he is going to effectively deliver peace to the Middle East to stop, frankly, the killing [from] the Iranian terrorist regime, which kills their own people and has created havoc across the Middle East." Stefanik refused to let CNN twist Trump's words into a genocide narrative.

You know what would probably help solve this?
Caning the convict for a misdemeanor rather than imprisoning him or letting him go.
You make the punishment swift, painful, and public, then send him home. He's out of trouble until he recovers enough to walk, everyone else is warned, and the neither the prison-criminal education complex nor the anarcho-terrorist complex get what they want.

The Left and Media have somehow decided that killing Non Uniformed combatants, during an occupation or insurgency, can be murder.
But they think they can destroy their own war fighters, because the West has not FELT the consequence of War, since WW2. We have a couple of generations, that have been CONSTANTLY at war, yet the civilians never felt it... because while the US Military was at war, the country, was not.
Except for 1975 - 1979? The US has had men in combat, since 1960.

They should bring them back into production, 10,000+ units, trick them out with some killer AI, and send them into random foreign countries to rain death and destruction on 'the enemy' just like Iran would.

She's fairly competent, actually, but I preferred other judges.
The fact that she left her husband of 30 years to go with this Democrat lawyer is pretty surprising. And just for the record, she wasn't all that bad looking a couple of years ago.
There has been a huge political war between the various branches of government in Utah for quite some time now. Unlike the federal level, our legislature is probably the most powerful branch... they are very activist and dominate the state. Which is probably what the Founders intended, to be frank.
Our governor is spineless: he blows with the wind. Some days he's hardcore right wing, some days even Mitt Romney calls him out as being too soft and squishy. Our court system is not at all liking being the sudden flashpoint of controversy, either... but they didn't shut down the "Democrat rule by lawfare" and now it's biting them in the butt. Hagan is just the latest thing to get people mad at the judges.

Kash Patel Slaps "Reporter" With $250 Million Defamation Lawsuit
I like the lawsuit, but, as That Guy always says, nothing's going to happen.
Judges are pretty determined that only leftwingers can be defamed.It sounds like an op, but then, a lot of people in politics drink really hard. Not as hard as "journalists," who tend to be alcoholics and pill-poppers, of course. Related:
FBI Director Kash Patel slapped The Atlantic and its reporter Sarah Fitzpatrick with a defamation lawsuit, after the outlet alleged in a report that he has a drinking problem that could pose a threat to national security. Filed on Monday in the US District Court for the District of Columbia, the lawsuit, which seeks $250 million, claims the magazine's story, initially titled "Kash Patel's Erratic Behavior Could Cost Him His Job," is "categorically false and defamatory." The Atlantic, which published its exposé on Friday, cited more than two dozen anonymous sources expressing concern at Patel's "conspicuous inebriation and unexplained absences" that "alarmed officials at the FBI and the Department of Justice."
The story -- the title of which now reads, "The FBI Director Is MIA" -- reported that during Patel's tenure, the FBI had to reschedule early meetings "as a result of his alcohol-fueled nights" and that Patel "is often away or unreachable, delaying time-sensitive decisions needed to advance investigations." "Some of Patel's colleagues at the FBI worry that his personal behavior has become a threat to public safety," the article stated. The White House, the Department of Justice and Patel denied the allegations to the magazine. The article also quoted Patel as saying, "Print it, all false, I'll see you in court -- bring your checkbook." A rep for the magazine told The Post on Monday: "We stand by our reporting on Kash Patel, and we will vigorously defend 'The Atlantic' and our journalists against this meritless lawsuit." Patel's suit alleged that The Atlantic ignored the FBI's denials and did not respond to a Friday letter from his lawyer Jesse Binnall to senior editors and The Atlantic's legal department, asking for more time to refute allegations in 19 questions that Fitzpatrick sent White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt. The journo's letter was sent shortly before 4 p.m. Friday and the story was published at 6:20 p.m. that day, according to the complaint. Lawyers for Patel claim that the Atlantic acted with "actual malice" -- a legal standard that requires public figures such as Patel to prove that the magazine publisher knowingly printed false information or recklessly ignored doubts about its accuracy. "Defendants' conscious decision to ignore the detailed, specific, and substantive refutations in the Pre-Publication Letter, and their refusal to give a reasonable amount of time for the FBI and Director Patel to respond, is among the strongest possible evidence of actual malice," the lawsuit stated.
Paul Sperry
@paulsperry_ 16h BREAKING: Newly declassified docs reveal former Washington Post reporter Shane Harris knew the identity of the anonymous impeachment "whistleblower" as early as Sept. 20, 2019, but chose to protect Eric Ciaramella, staying mum despite calling and texting with him; yet the WaPo phoned then-RealClearInvestigations editor Tom Kuntz to complain about RCI reporter Paul Sperry breaking the story exposing Ciaramella's identity and his pro-Biden background, Democrat bias and anti-Trump motives. A known Brennan shill and purveyor of the Russiagate hoax, Harris is now with the faithfully anti-Trump mag The Atlantic.

An interesting theory -- almost certainly true -- posits that alcohlism is a genetic trait that disappeared from populations (think Darwin Awards) award time -- but it takes thousnads of years for the trait to slowly fade from prevalence. And that alcohol fermentation first arose as a consequence of the appearance of agriculture, when people had leftover graisn they could ferment. So the longer you culture/civi,ization has had agriculture, the more time has passed for the alcoholism gene to eliminate itself from the population. So -- which are the cultures that started practicing agriculture last? Answer: North America, Africa, and (within Europe) Scandinavia. Snd -- what cultures have the highest prevalence of alcoholism? North America (i.e. Native American Indians), Africa, and Scandinavia.
Makes sense to me.

I'm in lovely (and I'm not being sarcastic) Salina, Kansas. 75 degrees and *dry*, with sunlight and wind. I just washed the car and it practically dried itself. Later I'll go out to a local burger and ice-cream location a few miles up the main avenue from me.
Saw three houses this morning. They were not as attractive as they seemed in their Realtor pics, lemme tell ya. One was nice, one was meh, one needed more work than the listing admitted to. The realtor lady tells me that in the price range I'm looking at, I'm not as likely to find a house with a garage as if I were willing to go $30-50K higher. Well, sure, but -- No way, Jose.

Goblin Greta Thunberg's "Freedom Flotilla" Was Actually a Sexual Misconduct Armada
Allegedly.
But we've seen enough rapes at lefty events to make that a soft "allegedly."LOL. People can't have sex while Palestinians are unhappy. So close to Pride Month, too!
They're going to need a bigger boat! Greta Thunberg's freedom flotilla, which set sail from Barcelona Sunday for another anti-Israel voyage to Gaza, has been rocked by scandal after one of its woke leaders was accused of "sexual misconduct" with at least three volunteers. "A senior leader within the flotilla -- a member of the steering committee, the highest governing body of the organization -- engaged in sexual relations with multiple activists while on the boat heading to Gaza. Not one person. Not two. Three different individuals," claimed Palestinian group Heart of Falastin in a social media post earlier this week. "To do it on the boat, while heading to a nation undergoing genocide, with volunteers who are under your authority . . . is a clear violation of ethics and power."
One Brazilian group named the alleged horndog as activist Thiago Avila, in an X post unearthed by media watchdog Honest Reporting and shared with The Post.The Paolo approves.
"On a ship carrying humanitarian aid, a Brazilian shows up with his d--k swinging and the only thing he manages to do is f--k and get arrested," Anti Esquerda Esquerda Club, a group that describes itself as criticizing the left from the left, wrote on X Tuesday, pointing the finger at Avila -- and referring to the Israeli Navy intercepting the flotilla and taking activists into custody.
... That tumultuous trip also saw her vessel's radio hacked to pump songs from the Swedish pop group ABBA on full blast in a clear troll at Thunberg.Well if ABBA's playing, a man just isn't responsible for his actions, is he?
... Avila, who left his wife and two-year-old daughter at home in Brazil to embark on what is now his fourth sailing trip since June -- having gone twice to Gaza and once to Cuba -- denied the accusations. "These allegations are obviously not true," he told The Post on WhatsApp Thursday while sailing off the coast of Spain. "The ethics committee talked to all three people mentioned and they confirmed that this is just a smear campaign, that we are comrades and nothing ever happened," he added, before embarking on a bizarre rant about the Epstein files.Well I don't really see any "misconduct" here besides the usual practice of left-wing men taking advantage of the loose morals of left-wing women. The fact that Babies Are Dying In Gaza!!1! doesn't make this a crime.

If your manner of transportation is called a "Flotilla" chances are that the ammenities of said "Flotilla" are not going to be focused on personal hygiene.
So, if you find it necessary to go banging on the boat, it is is in your best interest to bring a clothespin. Also, applying a strong menthol based balm immediately under the nostrils can be effective. In clarification...under your nostrils, not theirs.

I read the whole linked article. The real gripe seems to be that this "Heart of Falastin" group is pissed that the Avila-Thunberg group took in $3.5M in donations for this junket, and spent all the money on ... themselves.
Which sucks for Falastin (and the other whiners), because the $3.5M could have been given to them to be spent on ... themselves.

In the linked article, at least one of the three was a girl, and she denied anything happened. Note that she's not saying it was consensual sex, she's saying there was no sex at all.

It is unclear how the NSA is currently using Mythos, however other organizations are using it primarily to scan their own environments for exploitable security vulnerabilities. The company has restricted access to Mythos to around 40 organizations - as the company says the model's offensive cyber capabilities are too dangerous for wider release. Axios notes further;
Anthropic only announced 12 of those organizations. One source said the NSA was among the unnamed agencies with access.
The NSA's counterparts in the U.K. have said they have access to the model through the country's AI Security Institute.
On Friday, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei met White House chief of staff Susie Wiles and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to discuss deploying Mythos within the government, as well as Anthropic's wider plans and security practices.

Are the mothers there replenishing the numbers on a regular basis or what? Not enough cousins to go around any longer?
Maybe the Gazans need some Brazilian DNA added to the gene pool just for a little more froth and vigor?

Bitcoin mining firm New York Digital Investment Group (NYDIG) is in the process of buying a shut down Alcoa plant, Massena East, in, get this, NY.
Built for 24/7 heavy industrial operations, aluminum smelters come with pre-existing substations, transmission lines and high-capacity grid connections. That makes them attractive targets for Bitcoin miners and data center operators, who often spend years securing similar infrastructure approvals from scratch.
Massena East also benefits from hydropower supplied by the New York Power Authority, a key draw for energy-intensive computing firms seeking low-cost and lower-carbon power sources.

Returning to port in Point Loma (San Diego area) one full-moonlit evening, when the water was glass-smooth (very unusual), there was a 30-ft or so sailboat anchored just a hundred yards or so east of the transit channel. It had the minimal rigging lamps lit, but was otherwise dark.
For some reason, it had a slight fore-and-aft motion of the hull. As the sea was glass-smooth, there was no sea state that would have had it bobbing this way.
As we passed, there was some discussion about the effects the sub's wake would have on the boat.
30 seconds or so after we passed, and the wake rocked the boat, sonar reported screw noised close aboard our starboard beam.

Not for those who saved it off.
I found that I have archived a copy of the "The Count" on Google Drive.
It was the book that they circulated around the internet before the 2020 elections saying "Don't worry, Joe Biden is going to win--but if Trump steals the election, we can take this all the way to alternate slates of electors and a House vote on January 6th".
No, I'm not shitting you.

Iran-Linked Group Attacks Synogogue in the UK;
Keir Starmer Refuses to Ban the IRGC in Britain
In fairness, Keir Starmer can't even protect his own properties from arson by strangely-antagonistic gay Ukranian male model rent-boys.
The IRGC -- a notorious and inarguable world sponsor of terror -- continues operating in the UK with the full blessing of Starmer's illegitimate traitor-government.
Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis
@chiefrabbi
Last night yet another synagogue, this time in Kenton, was targeted in a cowardly arson attack. It follows the attack in Finchley on Wednesday and the attempted attack on what was the Jewish Futures building in Hendon on Friday night, making three Jewish sites attacked in London in less than a week. A sustained campaign of violence and intimidation against the Jewish community of the UK is gathering momentum. This sustained attack on our community's ability to worship and live in safety is an attack on the values that bind us all together. Thank God, no lives have been lost, but we cannot, and must not, wait for that to change before we understand just how dangerous this moment is for all of our society.
Despite the fact that an Iran-linked terror group has already claimed responsibility, UK police are continuing to say they don't know if this is terrorism and (say it with me) The Motive May Never Be Known, Allah-Willing.
Arson attempt hits London synagogue; Iran-linked group claims attack
UK Chief Rabbi Mirvis: A 'sustained campaign of violence and intimidation against the Jewish community'; no injuries reported; counter-terror police investigating
A synagogue in northwest London was targeted in an arson attack overnight Sunday, officials said, in the latest in a string of assaults in recent weeks that Britain's chief rabbi called a "sustained campaign of violence and intimidation against the Jewish community." There was minor smoke damage to a room inside Kenton United Synagogue, the Community Security Trust (CST) said, after police and fire teams were called to the Jewish house of worship. A pro-Iranian government Islamist group, which says it is also behind a spate of attacks across Europe on US, Israeli and Jewish targets, said on Sunday afternoon that it was responsible for the overnight attack. UK counter-terrorism police, in the wake of the incident, said they were heading up investigations into the incidents. ... The newly founded Islamist group Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiya (HAYI), or Movement of the Companions of the Right Hand of Islam, said in a statement published on Telegram on Sunday afternoon that it had targeted Kenton United Synagogue because it is "one of the centers of Zionist influence in the British capital." The synagogue, it claimed, "holds ceremonies such as 'Shabbat for Israel,' and sings the so-called 'Hatikvah' anthem in support of the Israeli occupation." Among other perceived crimes, it said the synagogue had hosted relatives of one of the hostage soldiers abducted by Hamas in the terror group's October 7, 2023, attack. Identifying the synagogue's leadership by name, the group accused them of being "key instruments of this Zionist base in London." Separately, the UK’s The Sunday Times said the Islamist group has also claimed responsibility for a Friday night arson attack on a London building that was formerly used by a Jewish organization.
The IRGC murdered tens of thousands of people worldwide, but Keir Starmer refuses to recognise it as a terrorist organisation because he fears being called an “Islamophobe” and losing Muslim votes. https://t.co/Qf4OLQ7vUA

Fortunately, right now Labour is engaged in a circular firing squad. I’ll believe it when I see it, but word on the street is that Keir’s job may be in jeopardy (it is harder to eject a Labour PM than a Tory PM due to party rules). But they right now are eating their own, as they always do.

Remember the old saying: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety". Often attributed to Benjamin Franklin, it suggests that sacrificing freedom for security results in losing both.
Starmer thinks what he's doing will keep the Muslim vote, and it might, but they aren't so numerous yet that the real English won't turn against him and he'll end up losing office, while Labour ceases to be a viable Party.

It's more than that. Queer Starmer is worried about losing his head. Literally. He knows that Muslims react with murderous violence when they don't get their way.
As I've said 100x before, the reason Muslims have so much power no matter where they go is because of their well-deserved reputation for barbarism and violence, even against their own daughters. They're insane. People rightfully fear them.
Nobody fears Christians or Jews (or any other religion).

It's atheism.
To put it shortly.
Although the modern "atheist" claims that it only means a disbelief in God or gods, it's hard to find many atheists who don't believe that "freewill" is an equally irrational religious view (even though "freewill" has long been a part of atheist theory.)
This illustrates that what is disbelieved increases. What is partitioned off as "irrationality" increases. Soon, what is "equality"?
I believe in one--and only one--basis of equality. And it doesn't follow me into a atheist, empirical context. And once we remove the "providence of God", we come to depend on the "scientific management" of as many of the masses as we can't fully get rid of yet.

By the way from Wikipedia-
"Blighty" is a British English slang term for Great Britain, or often specifically England. Though it was used throughout the 1800s in the Indian subcontinent to mean an English or British visitor, it was first used during the Boer War in the specific meaning of homeland for the English or the British. From World War I and afterward, that use of the term became widespread.
Etymology
The word ultimately derives from the Persian-derived Bengali word bilētī (or even from regional Hindustani language (i.e., Eastern Hindi) with the use of b replacing v/w), meaning 'foreign', which more specifically came to mean 'European', and 'British'/'English' during the time of the British Raj. The Bengali word bilētī is itself a loan of Indian Persian wilāyatī (ولایاتی
, from wilāyat (ولایت usually to mean 'Iran' and later 'the West', 'Europe' or 'Britain'/'England', ultimately from Arabic wilāyah (ولاية meaning 'state, province'.
The term subsequently gained an ironic connotation in its closeness to the English word blight, which means "epidemic."

One guy just posted he hit $1M in his investment accounts at 40 which is quite impressive. Two things stood out:
1) he mentioned in passing he's driving an old beater and doesn't really eat out. Yes, I know this infuriates many people in investment discussions but spending less and investing instead does make a difference over the long term
2) Someone else noted they thought if they had $1M invested they'd be "rich" and driving fancy cars and living in a mansion...well...thank Bidenflation...$1M in 2026 is worth about $500K in 2020...

Perhaps, but not disbelief that we can choose our behavior. That's what modern atheism is fast embracing--even though nobody ever said that "freewill" was a god.
Also, atheists are very confused these days, because "atheist theory" is really rather sloppy and hasn't improved much over the centuries.

Religion contains neither the rule that
1. God explains everything, and thus through that the religion, or
2. Man should be able to comprehend everything.
Especially not a religion that gives us the example of Job. When pressed by God about what Job knows about how the Lord created and patterns the universe said (basically) "I'm going to shut up now."
I'm just as curious about this answer as anyone on the other side may feign to be when asking it.
But it should be clear by now--in an empirical sense, that you cannot get the gains we got under Western Civilization by atheistic pessimism.

I remember in a discussion between Jordan Peterson and Alex O'Connor (lefty/atheist) the latter mentioned that yes, fine, western Christian societies have certainly been better then others in both subjective things like freedom and objective things like average person's wealth but...that doesn't mean their religion had anything to do with it
And its funny that Christianity just happened to accidently do that isn't it?
Especially if you assume religion isn't "real" you should look very, very carefully at what its value to society is. And frankly, everyone should want a Protest Christian religion even if they thing it is hogwash by its objective results...

There would be no purpose in God creating nothing that could not be something on its own. And so there is dumb matter and their is aware matter. And aware matter has at least a thread of control over its development.
So it is necessary by the logic of Creation, that God's foreknowledge of our actions does not determine those actions. Time manifests for our learning, so that we can see our elaboration of what we choose. We see ourselves forming over time. But God sees any shape we manifest.
Anything else, and life, I strongly believe, is almost equally as futile.

As a long-time methodological skeptic, I would actually indulge that skepticism as well.
We learn empirically what works and what doesn't. The speculation that we can just rip the Christian guts out of what we might agree works in that situation, is just that nothing but speculation.
Perhaps we can agree on 2 things. It is not decided that the Christian religion had everying to do with this. However, it's also perhaps not decidable that it didn't.
However, Christianity has the only theory where I would ever want somebody to refer to my "human worth". (tbc)

"Worth" is a word very similar in origin to the Latin root "vert", "to turn". And it's clear what it means in the marketplace: "turn around". Thus the "worth" of a commodity or a good is how much you're going to get from selling it.
"Human value" is no better because "val-" is an appreciation of relative strength. Thus nobody ever suggests outside of a completely theoretical sense that humans have "equal value".
There is only one event in the view of Western Civilization in which all of humanity was equally included into a single transaction, or redemption, at such a high cost that everyone should feel blessed by the price.
We, the Lord suggests, are "worth" 1 Son of God.

My home state is essentially a corporate fiefdom, with many congressional members of both parties owned by those conglomerates, bought-and-paid-for assholes who draft and vote on legislation in-line with whatever their biggest donors want them to vote for. This is why Indiana produces wishy-washy Establishment Republican politicians. This is what gave us the likes of Dick Lugar and Mike Pence. It gets me to this day that I should've seen through Pence early on but I didn't, probably because I had been friends with his cousins in high school and they were/are great people. It colored my judgement of the man.

Eric Swalwell Charged 100 Big Booze Deliveries to His Campaign, as Well as Vegas Trips
Over a four-year period starting in 2020, Swalwell's donor-funded congressional campaigns recorded more than 100 separate charges with now-defunct alcohol delivery company Drizly, according to federal campaign disclosures -- purchases that even caught his team off guard. While the ex-congressman's boozy campaign spending could be legal, "it might not be the best use of donor money," Swalwell's former chief of staff Alex Evans told the California Post. "He knew exactly what he was doing."Swalwell's Drizly spending alone accounted for roughly a quarter of all payments to the service from various candidates' campaigns, political committees and PACs since 2019, according to the Federal Election Commission. Campaign records show that his tab -- totaling roughly $6,100 -- also overlapped with him curiously taking multiple trips to Las Vegas in the summer of 2021. In July of that year, Swalwell racked up thousands of dollars in charges for hotel stays at the Cosmopolitan Las Vegas, a five-star hotel and casino. Swalwell appears to have visited the Cosmopolitan three times over a 10-day period that month -- on July 9, 12 and 19. Wasn't this during the lockdown? I mean, the lockdown of citizens, while the would-be aristocrat class dined at the French Laundry?
During that period, he made several purchases from Drizly while also billing his campaign for a $117.54 charge at STK Steakhouse and a $439.57 bill at Jean Georges Steakhouse at Aria. Charges continued through July 19, including a $940.01 transaction at the Cosmopolitan, bringing the total cost of his time in Vegas over 10 days to more than $3,100. Drizly was folded into Uber Eats in early 2024, and records show Swalwell's congressional campaigns continued to use the Uber Eats food and drink delivery app more than 220 times after Drizly shut down, including as recently as this year. The charges, which don't detail whether the purchases were for food and/or alcohol, totaled more than $19,000.

Disgraced ex-congressman Eric Swalwell -- who is accused of raping and sexually assaulting multiple women after nights of heavy drinking -- billed an eye-watering amount of booze deliveries to his campaigns, including charges during a series of jaunts to Las Vegas.

$120 at STK is barely a few drinks at the bar. No way you can have any kind of real dinner for that amount.
$440 for JG also seems very low. Maybe just one person? This steakhouse is the kinda place they don't put the prices on the online menus. It's heavy on exotic wagyu for 100s of dollars just for one steak.
I'm sure his campaign got billed for thousands of dollars of heavy drugs, too. Except even Rapeswell ain't dumb enough to list "Big Hector the Drug Dealer" on his billing records.

We went from the public knowing nothing about this to having enough info to kick him out of politics for life in a few days.
And here they want it to be relatively quick - the goal is to get rid of Swalwell while tarnishing the Dem party as little as possible.
When they target this on GOP candidates they try to make it run longer...

That's why they hated him. They had nothing on him. Everyone else is compromised. So they can be controlled. Swalwell is and was a nothing. A nobody. He was just compromised and so he got elevated. As long as he did what he was told he stayed. He was warned not to run for Gov. Told to drop out. He ignored the horse's head in his bed. His is being made an example of, to encourage the others. Nancy P is a mob ho and knows how to keep people in line.

I would argue something fundamental changed with the end of the Cold War. During that time period our elites had to worry they could be replaced completely if they did poorly enough.
But as they told us after the collapse of the USSR, the US and Europe were at the end of history and nothing they could do would lead to any real change from their managed democracy...
So steal as much as you want, replace the electorate, celebrate pedophilia...doesn't matter.

A Secret Service officer. Don't worry. He protects Biden from the throngs of 9 year old girls.
A sex content creator has posted graphic videos of sex acts with a Secret Service Agent on OnlyFans.
OnlyFans is a subscription-based platform where content creators are paid by subscribers.
Virtually 80% of the content posted to OnlyFans is pornographic and sexually explicit.
According to RealClearPolitics reporter Susan Crabtree, the sex content creator, identified as Brittany Jones, claimed to be making “adult content” with her Secret Service agent boyfriend, William W. Foy Jr.
“My boyfriend lives a double life,” Brittany Jones wrote on Facebook. “Guarding the president by day [sic] then making adult videos with me by night. We see you Hannah Montana lol.

If he had been a quiet backbencher, happy to sit in Congress for decades just doing as leadership said, this story would never have seen the light of day.
It's not directly the fault of his ambition, but if he had had no further ambition that perpetuity in doing nothing in Congress and getting paid for it, there would have been no need to highlight this stuff.
The amoral but ambitionless man. That should have been his goal. Instead, he thought he could be president and got in the way of other Democrats on the path towards the stepping stone that was the CA governorship.

And that, to me is the biggest problem in this country. When the institution charged with providing the information we all need to be a self-governing people is this tainted, slanted and poisoned, our system cannot survive. I know 1st Amendment this and 1st Amendment that but when one of the two Party's governing the country absolutely ignores and shits on it, following it ends up making it the country's suicide note.
I don't profess to know the solution but am frankly amazed that, with all the never ending propaganda the media spews out, we still have a fairly evenly divided country. Imagine what it would be like if the media was just neutral and held Democrats to task like they do Republicans? Hell, whenever one of these pukes sticks a microphone in a Republicans face it sounds like the prosecution in a murder trial doing the questioning. And the same "journalist" questioning a Democrat sounds like a stenographer. FFS.

They say his behavior was an "open secret" in Washington. There was nothing "secret" about it. And, it annoys me that Republicans are too pious and tawdy to take advantage of retards like Swalwell. Swalwell was re-elected to Congress seven times. ONE of those times, Republicans should have run a challenger and dropped all this just before the election. The fact that they did due to "fair play" or whatever explains just how handicapped we are in keepting mouth breathing window lickers like Swalwell out of office.

Yes. To ensure that a democrat wins the governor's race in California. He's enough of a name to suck up votes, and they were really getting spooked at the chance that the 2 front runners of the jungle primary were Republicans. So get rid of the people that weren't waiting their proper turn, like Swalwell so the preferred Democrat cronies win.

there were (obviously) many horrors about Ted Kennedy and Chappaquiddick

2 Mary Jo didn't drown- that would have been a faster, but still tragic death. She slowly asphyxiated in a pocket of air trapped in the over-turned and submerged car.
3 There was time to go back and get her out, but Ted was safely on shore, wringing out his wet socks

Head of the IRGC called the Foreign Minister an idiot a few days ago.
Things are tense, it seems, especially since every indication is that the Grand Ayatollah was the lynchpin that kept the ruling coalition together, and in the wake of his death the IRGC just asserted control.

Killing a lot of the ruling class has basically turned Iran into a military dictatorship. The IRGC is now trying to run the show rather than being the veto power under the older Khameini mullah system.
And the mosaic defense is making things worse as seen by the Iranian gunboat attack on the Indian tanker. The risk for the IRGC is that they came out of their boltholes and this next tier of leaders can and probably has been tracked to wherever they are.

On the whole, the IRGC has been in charge all along, or at least the ones calling the shots for the last 47 years.
This is the master move that Trump managed in Venezuela, in getting the Bolivarian militia out of the way so the civil government, no matter how bloody handed Delcy Rodriguez is, can make rational decisions not based on solely the income from embargoed oil and Cocaine going into the Bolivarian generals' pockets.
it is going to be harder to accomplish in Iran since the system is much more entrenched.
We say "the uniparty is running the country pretending to be the popular government". This is true in spades in Venezuela and in Iran

======
Regime change doesn't need to mean the return of the shah.
We've technically had it. The Grand Ayatollah is dead. The son is technically in charge, and the top level of the IRGC was wiped out, along with most of the civilian leadership as well.
We can have the same level of regime change in Iran as we got in Venezuela: the same infrastructure but a leader who's afraid of us. We just have to go further down the line in Iran than we did in Venezeula.
Regime change really is just a talking point, not a serious policy goal. We can have the 12th in line in the IRGC in charge as long as he does what we say.
And, in case everyone forgot, we have hit their military capabilities so hard Iran imported their Iraqi militias to try and make up for it.

Regime change doesn't need to mean the return of the shah.
We've technically had it. The Grand Ayatollah is dead. The son is technically in charge, and the top level of the IRGC was wiped out, along with most of the civilian leadership as well.
We can have the same level of regime change in Iran as we got in Venezuela: the same infrastructure but a leader who's afraid of us. We just have to go further down the line in Iran than we did in Venezeula.
Regime change really is just a talking point, not a serious policy goal. We can have the 12th in line in the IRGC in charge as long as he does what we say.

Lloyd's of London has been covering wartime risk to go through the strait since about day 3, actually.
It's not an insurance thing.
Iran is making mostly empty threats, firing AK-47s as super tankers that get close enough to their coast (the deeper route goes closer to Iran than Oman), and talking about mines that don't exist.
All while the gulf states are redirecting oil through pipelines away from the strait, smaller tankers easily make it near Oman, and the non-Indian super tankers just barrel through.

There is a theory Trump is hammering on this because there is too much risk to allow the Iranians keeping the middle east in a low boil because they threaten the control the Suez, and the Red Sea, and energy as well as gulf state banking.

Early Wednesday morning there will be a 3AM Truth social about how Iran is "saying the right things" or some other pablum. It'll cause Trump to say "I don't need to blow everything up yet."
And we're going to get another week of this cycle happening all over again.
The Iranians are masters of "stringing it along" when it comes to negotiations. Fact is that if JD goes to Pakistan for another meeting with Iranian officials - he needs to tell them, "we don't leave this room without your full and unconditional surrender and public acceptance of our terms, or electricity in Iran will cease to exist. The B-52's are already in the air."
Fact of the matter is that we won't do that. And we probably won't destroy their power plants either because we just don't have the balls anymore to finish a fight... Trump or no Trump.

Or Obama's handlers did not want strong men who would actually be cowed by the west (US.) A lot of the Iranian plan was to try to create a regional hegemon that could defy the US. Col Q was a strong man who learned his lesson way back in the 80s. Not weak, but not willing to poke the bear.

All they had to was make this deal. Give Trump his "win." Wait a couple/few years for a Democrat President who will roll back that deal, ship them palettes of cash, and likely just start shipping them stuff straight from the Y-12 and Pantex stockpiles and production lines. They'd get the green light for anything for anything they want.

Rebuilding will begin as soon as the allahs are dead. American engineering and crews paid for by Iranian oil will build/guide/assist reconstruction.
NO. This will not be nation building this will be a construction contract similar to all other legitimate construction contracts between the buyer -Iran and the seller - American businesses. The currency; Iranian oil.

You're not paying enough attention. Israel and the Trump would not be doing what they're doing if they weren't going to END this, once and for all. It seems obvious to me that they have been prepping an Iranian insurgency for months, if not years.
Trump knows only too well, if this is not DONE on his watch that he can not count on his successors to do it. One way or another, he will END this. We know where the trajectory leads - the only thing that's unclear is what path is taken to get there. Pop some popcorn, and expect some surprises along the way.

Full regime change, not just shuffling the deck and picking a new member of the current government, is required.
Barring some truly significant effort to get arms to locals who will, theoretically, accept someone like Reza Pahlavi, that means boots will be required on the ground.
Or just accept whatever lies the IRGC allows someone to tell and then subverts the moment no resources are available or the administration changes.

DON'T be "sad to say it"! I really don't think he'll do that, it's certainly a bluff. The plan is for the Iranian people to get their country back, and they'll be needing those things. They'll also be needing the oil industry intact. If anything, we might be PROTECTING such things FROM the IRGC.
But it's madness to take this at face value, and it's madness to be disappointed that this particular thing WON'T happen.
Despite that reality - SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN. It is NOT the case that a deadline will come and go and NOTHING happens. SOMETHING will happen, and I guarantee you that the Supreme Leader and the IRGC will NOT LIKE IT ONE BIT, because it will be another step down the road to their extinction.
We can only speculate what that "SOMETHING" is, and that's a good thing too. It's GOOD to keep the enemy in the dark as to what's coming, and we can't tell what it is, then maybe they can't either.

LOL. I was just explaining to somebody recently that Trump's posts don't always seem to make sense. That's because they're not to be taken literally - they are specifically to, naturally, SEND A MESSAGE. If the message doesn't make sense to you, it's because you are NOT who is being sent that message. Rest assured, whoever a given message is sent to UNDERSTANDS THE MESSAGE, and often they really, really DO NOT LIKE IT.
This is especially true in wartime, where the recipients are both the actual enemy and other third parties (some of who are supposedly our allies). Often, the message is REALLY being sent to the people of places like the UK and France, who are seeing their "leaders" being exposed as not working for them as a result.

He shouldn't have done that. Obviously, the ceasefire was just going to happen anyway, and he TACOd because he didn't nuke Tehran.

But you DIDN'T notice that the sudden need for a cease-fire was a BS reason? That it was supposedly because the Pakistani PM, or somebody talked him down from that? He was never going to do it, and he's threatening the same thing this time. Something will "magically" happen to interrupt it again.
He had a REASON for doing the cease-fire. It obviously wasn't what he said it was, we shouldn't EXPECT him to tell us the truth on exactly why he did it, and we CAN'T know the real reason, but we SHOULD know by now that he's an absolute genius at this stuff, that he's very much on our side, and it's all going to work out great, ultimately.
To say he shouldn't have done it is ridiculous - you don't even know what peices are on this chessboard, or where. I presume you're not even being literal, talking about nuking Iran.

THE MORNING RANT: State of Texas Cutting off Funds to Houston after it Revives Sanctuary City Policies
Houston City Council passed an ordinance Wednesday redefining the boundaries of its police department’s interactions with federal immigration authorities, a move that critics are calling a de facto sanctuary city policy in violation of state law. Approved in a 12-5 vote, the ordinance eliminates the previous requirement that Houston Police Department officers hold individuals up to 30 minutes to allow ICE agents time to respond to the scene. Under the new policy, a routine stop ends when the original lawful reason for the stop ends.After voting in favor of Houston’s new sanctuary city policies, Houston’s mayor, John Whitmire, prevaricated that “I’ve always been clear: Houston follows local and state law. We are not ICE, and we do not enforce federal immigration law. Today, I joined a majority of City Council to pass a sensitive ordinance on immigration procedures.” In an act of amazing political cowardice, Houston Mayor John Whitmire voted for the new ordinance, out of fear of the Democrats’ far-left base, but then he immediately started advocating to reverse the ordinance he just voted for because of its consequences, which puts Whitmire in a civil and criminal bind for defying state law. In 2017, the state of Texas passed “Senate Bill 4” into law. This law requires local officials to comply with federal immigration authorities and to honor federal detainer requests from ICE. It also provides for civil and criminal penalties for officials who violate this law, including their removal from office and fines of up to $25,000 per day for rogue officials. Greg Abbott moved swiftly to put down the insurrection in Houston, advising that the state was cutting off funding that would cripple the city. On April 13 the governor sent a letter to Whitmire advising him that his actions constituted a breach of Whitmire’s certification under the laws of the state, and that revocation of $110 million of grants from the state to the city must be repaid if the city remains in defiance of the law. That got Whitmire’s attention. The mayor quickly released a statement stating that, “This is a crisis situation. The potential loss of state funding poses real challenges for the Houston Police and Fire Departments and will impact public safety services across our city.” Despite having voted for the ordinance himself, Whitmire pointed his finger at fellow council members, stating, “I repeatedly warned the ordinance sponsors, Council Members Salinas, Kamin, and Pollard about the legal and financial risks associated with this approach.” The city of Houston is on the clock to repeal their ordinance. I kind of hope they don’t. I’m ready for the state of Texas to reel in rebellious, pro-crime municipalities. De-funding rogue cities is a nice start, but I’d argue that so long as these blue cities (including Dallas and Austin) remain pro-crime and anti-immigration enforcement, their city charters should also revoked. Those neighborhoods not supporting insurrection can be re-incorporated as new entities. Those areas that remain in rebellion should be denied self-governance until reconstructed. Below the fold are Mayor Whitmire’s “This is a crisis situation” letter, as well as a tweet from Governor Abbott about the situation.
Houston received more than $100 million from the state based on a written agreement that they will comply with immigration enforcement.

If they refuse to comply, they better get out their check book.
It will be costly if they refuse to keep their streets safe. https://t.co/aluxi2trNJ

It's even simpler than that. Lefties love living in their own shit. Back when most Democrats described themselves as either 'moderate' or 'conservative', this could be kept under control other than a few weird neighborhoods in blue cities, but nowadays Dim 'governance' just means constant favoritism to whatever will make things shittier faster.
If trans people were quiet and law abiding and the people who oppose them were the ogres trannies pretend that they are, Dims would be trying to stoke anti-trans pogroms as often as possible. There's a strategy, but it's not really in favor of anything other than chaos. They forget the second part of Lenin's April Theses that after the chaos he takes over and crushes anyone who deviates from his reading of history.

TX is not MT with its ludicrous state Supreme Court. I don't know if TX has thrashed its courts as much as FL has under DeSantis, but the idea that a state judge is going to stop Abbott enforcing an existing state law is pretty remote. At best some dim bulb type (like 'Speedlin Gonzalez' before she was removed from office) would try something at a trial court level, get immediately smacked down, and then get removed from office.
TX is a state that executes people relatively quickly by modern US standards. Your Judge Boasberg jokes aren't funny and are just unnecessarily demoralizing for people who don't know about TX or states like it.

Over the last couple of decades, almost all of the major O & G companies have left Houston and moved north to Montgomery County. (It's amazing how many major corps now have HQ's there) Houston itself now has a population that is about 30% foreign born, if you wonder why it's gone the way it has. Anglo's only make up 23% of the city now.

I continue bewildered and frustrated at these "sanctuary cities" that try to outlaw ICE or interfere with its activities. It's ILLEGAL -- I mean, isn't it? I'm glad to see Abbott gently prodding Houston (it seems to me he could ARREST a few people), but it seems to me these blue cities and states are massively out of compliance and subject to disciplinary measures that would bring them to their knees overnight.

From GatewayPundit. The Clinton marriage wasn't that happy according to Dick Morris.
"According to Morris, when Bill Clinton was president, he actually had polling done to see how it would affect him if he divorced Hillary, or if she divorced him. And he did it several times. He apparently felt the need to keep checking the numbers.
It just confirms what many people have believed for years, that the Clintons basically had a marriage that may have been about love at one point, but which eventually devolved into a relationship of political convenience."

Yep. I hadn't talked to her since it happened. We had our heart to heart on Thursday. I apologized for things I felt were my fault in her upbringing and took responsibility for a few other things. I expressed my extreme disappointment in her actions, and told her I was doing everything I could to not break down in tears. She knows I don't cry. She has never seen me cry, nor has her mother. I well up, shed a tear or two, usually at funerals. The fact that I was doing so with her at this situation, God willing, carried some weight with her.

Let's see if/when Houston goes ahead formally, what will happen with Austin's & Dallas' funding as both are certified Welcoming cities.
Certified Welcoming dot org: (Sanctuary cities) Austin and Dallas are not officially designated as sanctuary cities, as Texas law (SB 4) prohibits such policies. Despite this, both cities often take stances welcoming immigrants, leading to ongoing clashes with state officials. Gov. Abbott has threatened to cut over $200 million in funding for both cities and Houston, alleging their local police policies violate state rules regarding ICE cooperation.
---
Houston is not alone. April 2026, Philadelphia City Council is advancing a sweeping "ICE Out" legislative package that strengthens the city’s sanctuary status.
(Mayor Parker maintains the 2016 executive order (originally signed by Jim Kenney) that limits police cooperation with ICE, while maneuvering to maintain federal funding.)

Houston is a lot like Atlanta. People say "I'm from Atlanta/Houston" but they're not. They're from a suburb or enclave that's vaguely in the greater metropolitan area. There's plenty of money in "Atlanta" too, but it's really all in Cobb County and the far reaches of Fulton County (Alpharetta). Houston has the same thing, but it's called The Woodlands.

If the car is still operable, or close to being operable, maybe consider buying it back if they total it out, get bare minimum repairs done by a backyard shop, and let her drive* the defaced beater, and continue paying the note as a reminder of her dumb-ass stunt.

I would bet that he was quietly told that you cannot make a case for that. The courts have previously held that, unless fedgov pays cities/states to work with immigration officials, they cannot be required to do so. Having cities pass resolutions forbidding their employees from doing something which they cannot be required to do is not something likely to succeed in a prosecution.
And no matter how much we really, really, really, want something to happen, the world doesn't work that way.

But the image referred was suspected as AI, or maybe staged by some provocateur. No way does IDF want beef with Christians in Lebanon, or for that matter Druze. But some costumed Hezb actor stirring shiite? Easily.

Maybe see if they have spring rolls. Or see if you can get plain rice or vegetables.
Or perhaps in your most friendly manner possible, tell the waiter you don't handle strong foods well and ask what he'd recommend.

Problem is, because the car is on loan, it must carry full coverage. If they total it and I get it back, I can't full coverage it again. Only liability.
The bank won't allow that.

Car is 11 years old. Surely the outstanding principal on the loan cannot be that huge. Could you perhaps get a personal loan from another lender, and pay out the car note?

Tandoori chicken. It's basically roasted chicken. It's traditionally served on the bone, but many places now offer it boneless. It can be hot (spicy) but you can usually get it mild.
My mom hated Indian food. Until I took her to India. Now she really likes it. The cuisine is a bit of an acquired taste.

First big question would be is it an "Indian" restaurant in the sense of what we've called "Indian" for a long time or is it a Tamil (South Indian) restaurant? Tandoori is "regular" Indian, I think, while Biryani is Tamil. I like Indian food, but I _love_ Tamil food. (Still plenty of curries and such in Tamil food, and you need to watch out for the bones in anything with mutton.)

One thing you notice right away is that the camera lingers on the players in the titles a lot longer than it would today. They stand there making uncomfortable looking faces of fake delight, which actually just creates a vague sense of unease.
The other thing you notice is that Sally Field is always bent at the waist when she's "flying" - almost as if she's suspended from a wire. Almost.

My late Mother was a nun for 14 years. Polish-American family. They 'drafted' them young. She was miserable there. Of her entire group, only a few stayed.
Fifty years later, they were still 'counseling' each other. I took care of Mom, 14 years, and I'd hear the conversations. Man-made institution full of people with clashing personalities with the same types of crap that goes on in any workplace.
She said they never picked up a Bible. They were always cleaning. She later taught. As was the deal, the convent took everything. It wasn't until she was in her 30's teaching in Canada that she learned how cheques worked.
Oh, convent > left > met Dad > married > Stateless 10 months later. Nothing scandalous. You mix any of that up...

1) "Operation Taco Gary's" - streaming on Prime
Fun, low budget comedy about a guy starting a new join Ottawa who gets hijacking by his loony conspiracy obsessed brother.I laughed several times and smiled throughout. Recommended for those with a loopy sense of humor.
2) "Dust Bunny" - I wanted to like it but didn't. Not sure who this movie is for. It's like a Very European, kid's horror movie fairy tale about a kid who hires a hit man to kill the monster beneath her bed. Sounds fun buuuut it's an incoherent mess. The most interesting thing is Sigourney Weaver's new almost unrecognizable face post-plastic surgery.
3) "The Mummy" - No mummy per se, more like an Egyptian-flavored version of The Exorcist with blobs of "Evil Dead" scattered about. Not great but it's okay. Kind of a bore until the third act. The Evil Dead info;uence detracts rather than enhances.
4) "The Running Man" -I prefer the Ahnold version. This is an angry antifa-flavored version filled with Democrat talking points. It's fine if you wish to be educated rather than entertained.

I watch and read the FAKE NEWS Pundits and Polls in total disbelief. 90% of what they say are lies and made up stories, and the polls are rigged, much as the 2020 Presidential Election was rigged. Just like the results in Venezuela, which the media doesn’t like talking about, the results in Iran will be amazing - And if Iran’s new leaders (Regime Change!) are smart, Iran can have a great and prosperous future!

That's because people are living longer.
According to evolutionary theory, practically everyone has the genes for cancer, but-
those who died from it early didn't get to reproduce.
In folks, who reproduced then got cancer welp, their "delayed" cancer genes entered the gene pool
And overall, cancer got pushed back mostly to the ages past menopause and reproduction in general.
Other things could be at work, of course.
But, that theory always made sense to me.

Sir John Everett Millais
Interesting, nicely done. And, there's a lesson there.
Not the Tate: Victorian Web org: Millais’s Vale of Rest and the Victorian Crisis of Faith
In part, "The composition makes for an arresting scene: two young nuns appear confined within the walls of a graveyard as one strenuously digs a grave while the other fixes a haunting gaze upon the viewer. Millais composed the scene so that the viewer stands, precariously, at the edge of a gaping grave as a majestic sunset while fills the sky. The Vale of Rest forms a group with Autumn Leaves (1856) and Spring (1859). These three paintings are may be read in terms of the transient nature of life: Time passes, seasons change, the sun will set, the day will end and death will come to all. To read The Vale of Rest as a simple memento mori, however, would be remiss."
Much more before and after, all worth reading imo.
"The promise of an eternal afterlife may be evaporating but the beauty of the natural world, in this life, is undeniable. It is present, it is available to all, and it is where the weary may find repose."
Ambivalent about hanging today's art selection.
Thanks.

The painting portrays nuns in a "living burial" scenario, reflecting Victorian views of convent life as a complete withdrawal from the world.

The U.S. Supreme Court declined on Monday to hear a bid by parents to sue a public school district in Massachusetts over actions by teachers and officials to support the gender identity of students by not disclosing name or pronoun changes to parents without the child's consent.
The justices turned away an appeal by the parents of a student who had self-identified as "genderqueer" while attending a middle school in the Massachusetts town of Ludlow after a lower court threw out their lawsuit.

Two landmark decisions back in the twenties pretty much said this. Meyer v. Nebraska (1923) and Pierce v. Society of Sisters (1925). Meyer was about a Nebraska law that forbid parents to teach their children a foreign language (WWI vintage), and Pierce dealt with Oregon trying to destroy Catholic private schools for K12 by making attendance to public schools mandatory.
Essentially both are natural law decisions noting that the family predates the existence of governments and it is a natural right for parents to be in charge of children's upbringing. This has been recognized through the centuries until the Commies got started in the 20th century with their bullshit.

The USS Spruance destroyer intercepted Iran’s Touska cargo ship in the Gulf of Oman, taking custody of the ship after it refused warnings to stop, according to the president.Yet with that the kabuki theatrics of so-called "negotiations" with the mullahs continues. Or at least would continue if they even decided to attend, instead of flipping the bird at President Trump. For the Trumpteenth time, it ultimately will lead nowhere. Unless the last vestiges of the Islamic regime are ripped out of Iran root and branch, regardless of how much ordnance is dropped, how many power plants, bridges and infrastructure is destroyed and ships sunk, they along with every other Muslim on the planet will never cease in their eternal quest to conquer the world and/or destroy it in the process.
Talk of a “grand bargain” with Iran revives a failed playbook of concessions and deception that history shows only strengthens Tehran’s regime. . . Here’s what you need to know. . .When the Iranian regime hears the term “grand bargain,” they begin to salivate. It’s better than hot mint tea after a day-long forced march in the Great Salt Desert.To them, it means they will survive. Even better, they will have succeeded in suckering those stupid Americans once again into a very bad deal.Still, the prospect of an Iranian A-bomb or a nuclear arsenal replete with the long range missiles to deliver them to any sane person was and remains completely intolerable.

During a recent livestream, Piker declared that “if you cared about Medicare fraud or Medicaid fraud, you would kill Rick Scott.” Scott (R-Fla.) has since pushed for Yale University to lose funding for allowing Piker to speak at an event. “He wants me killed. He wants every capitalist murdered,” Scott bemoaned matter-of-factly on “Fox News Sunday.” “He said that we deserve 9/11. He’s clearly antisemitic. Democrats are campaigning with this guy.” “The Democrat Party supports this stuff,” he added. “Yale, if they want to go support somebody that wants to be a capitalist murdered in this country, right, so I don’t want them to get any federal funding. I mean, it’s pretty simple to me. They shouldn’t be doing this.”WIth backstabbing criminal Quisling traitors and vermin like Chris Murphy, is it any wonder we have assassination attempts, firebombing, drive-by shootings, riots. This is the kind of incitement that leads to complete dissolution.
Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) was in Spain this weekend for some reason, trashing the United States as being in the midst of a crisis, claiming that Trump is trying to take over our democracy, calling him a totalitarian, and on and on.Murphy reminds me a lot of Senator Elizabeth Warren. Like Warren, Murphy has not dialed down his insane anti-Trump rhetoric below eleven even once since the 2024 election. It makes me think he is planning a 2028 run for president, not because he thinks he can win, but because he wants a position in the next Democrat administration, or a job in media.This performance, and it is a performance, is a total disgrace.Of course he went to Spain:
Pedro Sanchez’s anti-American crusade exposes a deeper truth: the global Left’s ideology remains rooted in recycled Marxism, repackaged through expediency and contradiction.Ah yes, Murphy does the "Dirty Sanchez" smearing his own country in a foreign capital during a time of war. It really is us or them. Something's got to give, and if push comes to shove, it's not going to be me. Compare and contrast this cancerous fistula with one of the greatest American patriots of all time, Justice Clarence Thomas:
Progressivism seeks to replace the basic premises of the Declaration of Independence and hence our form of government. It holds that our rights and our dignities come not from God but from government. It requires of the people a subservience and weakness incompatible with a constitution premised on the transcendent origin of our rights. It is unfortunately rare these days to hear any public figure describe the threats of “progressivism” so clearly.
Have a great day!

Yale can host these sorts of antisemitic, anticapitalist, anti-American murderous thugs if they wish. It is certainly the right of the college to support the end of western civilization this way, if that is their wishful opinion.
But, at a minimum, American tax dollars should not go there to support Yale. In fact, the "school" should be closely examined and investigated. Maybe Yale should move to Gaza, or London, or somewhere else in Caliphate.

I agree with JJ. And it's why, IMO, the GOP and - by extension, Trump - deserve to lose the midterms. While I am in admiration of his foreign policy successes, I am concerned that his eye seems to be too much outside America rather than in it. He concentrates too much on the external enemy and not the domestic one.
There are dozens, if not hundreds of high-ranking people who need to be arrested, imprisoned and, where required, executed. But none have, and none will.

I don't agree here, MP4. There are fewer federal government employees today than in the past 60 years. Illegal immigration is near zero. Legal immigration is collapsing. There is a Grand Conspiracy case being heard by a grand jury in Florida. Birthright citizenship has been challenged as never before and is a justice or two from being overturned - as Roe was overturned.
There are sweeping, systemic, domestic victories. Enough? No. But honestly, there will never be enough.
And that's what I have to tell myself when I find myself making the exact same complaints you're making here - No modern American president has ever (ever) done more with less and with more aligned against him than has Trump. "Yeah, but he hasn't done..." is not only not effective, but it removes the external incentives for him to even keep going.
If you're never going to be satisfied, why should he bother at all?

Hi, Nearsider! Always a pleasure to see you.
I appreciate your broader point, and yes, Trump has and does face opposition greater than any POTUS since Lincoln. But (whether you agree with him or not) he was not afraid to exercise his powers by shutting down papers, eliminating habeas corpus and arresting traitors.
Let's try one example: we know Fauci lied. We know he engaged in animal torture. We know he was instrumental in developing a bioweapon used not just against the US, but around the world. Why is that bastard not swinging from a length of piano wire right now?
It's not that I am not glad to see people face consequences, but all I see from the administration is akin to arresting Anton Drexler while allowing Heinrich Himmler to walk free as a bird.

Anyway the point here is that this argument the world must sit around and wait - till the Iranian mullah regime (or anyone else) has nuclear weapons ready to go before it is “just” to respond is twaddle.
Nuclear proliferation was the #1 concern, before atomic weapons had even been constructed. They knew they could not be “uninvented”, and that any nation with sufficient industrial capacity and engineering capability could build them.

I was having a discussion with a friend who listens to too many talk radio hosts, who was saying “Trump is going to have to use nukes in Iran soon!”
And I asked Why? Why would we do that? There’s nothing a nuke can do militarily that a precision conventional weapon can’t do better, except kill a lot of civilians at once. And why would we want to kill a lot of civilians who would be on our side?
There’s really no rational case for using nukes now, except as a threat.

And you - I hope there's a MoMee in your future. I still remember fondly getting to share a drink with you.
As to your example, I think the Art of the Possible overrides everything. Could it be done? Possibly, but not likely. Would it cost a massive amount of political capital to achieve even an unwanted outcome? Almost definitely.
And then the tricky part - would I rather Trump spend that political capital on things more likely to generate wins? Yes. Yes I would.
And this is, I think where we disagree. I don't want to tilt at windmills. I want to stack victories. Victory is contagious. It took more than one Administration for America to get here. It'll take more than one Administration to get out. Trump, though, is showing the way - get up, hit back, flip over their rice bowls, fuck their 'propriety.'
Get to victory.

The rhetoric from the Iranian leaders was the problem. If they were like Swiss leaders, making Iran and its people better, nukes would not be as big an issue.

He claims that the DOJ career prosecutors he went up against with J6 cases were overwhelmingly, your woke women who were placed there by Obama/Biden. That was the DOJ that Bondi took over. They can't all be replaced with the snap of a finger.
Just last week Blanche removed the career prosecutor hearing evidence in Florida in the conspiracy case against Trump for supposedly slow walking cases against Brennan and others and replaced her, yes her, with Joe diGenova who is a fierce defender and believes the 2020 election was stolen. Let's see how he does.

Young women are in terrible shape in our country. It's a real problem.
Posted by: Huck Follywood at April 20
Mike Rowe's advice to young men has no appeal to young women. Very few want, or will lower themselves, to be plumbers, machinists, electricians, auto mechanics, or workers in other necessary trades. Parents and teachers actively work to keep young women from such career paths, told they are beneath women. Add to this that young urban and suburban women are told marrying tradesmen is beneath them. Yet there are only so many male bankers, doctors, lawyers, dentists, stock brokers, trust fund babies, tenure-track college professors, and even engineers. Teaching is the fall back career it seems. Putting women in direct daily contact with ultra-woke women. What a mess.

It's not just the 2020 election. It's a decade long conspiracy that included many things including the Russia lie right up through the 2024 election and beyond. That's what's being investigated by a grand jury in Florida. The 2020 election was just a piece of it.
Nothing may come from it but I doubt it. Brennan and Comey seem to doubt it. But it doesn't surprise me at all that a case this big is taking time to unfold.

Define poverty in America. It’s not starvation. It’s not dying in the elements. It’s not failing to get medical care. Most people who are under the poverty line have cell phones. Many have cars. Most are fat.

Joe diGenova, a former Trump campaign lawyer who backed President Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss, will head up a Florida-based federal investigation into former federal officials who investigated Trump, a Justice Department official confirmed to NBC News on Saturday. DiGenova, 81, who was U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia during the Reagan era, will lead a sprawling investigation targeting Trump's enemies, reaching all the way back to a previous Justice Department inquiry into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

That took a lot of time to build and it wasn't going get turned around in a few months no matter who was in charge.
The replacement of the career prosecutor in FL and the insertion of diGenova is a positive sign for me. If anything he is more adamant in his belief of a conspiracy against Trump than we are.

Soccer: get brushed against, roll on the ground in agony.
Hockey: get leg broken blocking shot, finish shift anyway.

Trump has done more to explain the moral case against abortion than 50 years of nearly all elected Republicans.
All of them could mouth the right phrases, say they're "pro-life."
But almost none of them believed it or could make any coherent moral case against it.
And when Roe was over-turned, we saw that weakness as so many states were able to expand abortion.

In the Panthers first run to the Cup Finals, Matthew Tkachuk took a hit that fractured his sternum. I sat out one game. They faced elimination, he returned to the ice and scored a goal in the eventual loss.
They won the next 2 Cups. The list of player's injuries after each final is staggering.

FH is a great way to get in and get money at the DI and DII level. not sure how that works for DIII but this is the best area for DII hockey and it's kind of perfect for intense hockey but not as intense/time consuming as DI
PSU is DI of course but they are a program that likes to take US players and they are good with scholarship money too. And they have a wide variety of majors ; )

Daily News Stuff 20 April 2026
Top Story
- The memory shortage could last for years. (The Verge)
16GB is the new 128GB, and you might as well get used to it:Nikkei says that production would need to increase by 12 percent a year in 2026 and 2027 to meet demand. But according to Counterpoint Research, an increase of only 7.5 percent is planned.
That's bad enough - projected growth will only fall further behind demand. But it gets worse:The new facilities will primarily focus on producing high-bandwidth memory (HBM), which is used in AI data centers. With the companies already prioritizing HBM over general-purpose DRAM used in computers and phones, it's not clear how much these new fabs will help alleviate the price crunch facing consumer electronics.
But it gets worser: HBM memory is stacked vertically just like AMD's 3D-Vcache. And exactly like AMD's 3D-Vcache it uses TSVs - though-silicon vias - to transfer the signals between the layers.
And those TSVs take up about half the space on HBM chips, meaning the factories need to churn out twice as many wafers for the same amount of memory, when they already can't produce enough.
Tech News
- But at least hard drives are still well, poop. (Tom's Hardware)
Toshiba is now offering refunds rather than warranty replacements because they don't have any stock to replace failed drives.
- Cloud hosting company Vercel - which is also the maintainer of the popular Next.js framework - got hacked. (Bleeping Computer)
Apparently Context.ai was hacked, which let the hackers compromise a Vercel employee's Google Workspace account, which allowed them to hack Vercel itself.
This is what's known as a "supply chain" attack: If the target is too well secured, find something they use that isn't, and attack there instead.
- VitaLink is a keyboard with a 13" 4K touchscreen display. (Liliputing)
It's not a computer though. It has two USB-C connections, one to act as a keyboard, one to act as a display.
- If you have unused PCIe slots that are unusable because they are blocked by your video card, the ArcherX is a solution. (Tom's Hardware)
It's an adaptor for a single M.2 SSD that plugs into the slot and lies completely flat, which should probably not interfere with your video card. Maybe. Possibly.
- A wallaby ate my kangaroo paw.

I have a cheap old laptop, over ten years old now, where first the screen went out (after spilling a drink on it) and then eventually the external HDMI video out too. Windows 10 support recently expired too, as you know. Although it ended up in heavy use, it was a bottom-of-the-line "student" model to begin with, that I originally got for a utility purpose (supplemental to my work laptop), so it wasn't designed for easy user access to the innards.
Although I tried to be careful, I also didn't really care if I busted the brittle old plastic a bit getting at the hard drive; and I wouldn't even know how to reconnect the keyboard data cable, since I didn't see how I disconnected it pulling things apart. But I got it done.
The old HDD is now safely nestled in the enclosure and humming merrily along. And I'm transferring the data I care to keep onto a barely used terabyte USB hard drive that I got for the same project, since for all I know the old laptop drive itself could be about to crash too.
Progress. Relief.

How to recognize and tame your cognitive distortions (2022)
Cognitive distortions are internal mental filters or biases that increase our misery, fuel our anxiety, and make us feel bad about ourselves.
Our brains are continually processing lots of information. To deal with this, our brains seek shortcuts to cut down our mental burden.
Sometimes these shortcuts are helpful, yet in other circumstances — such as with these unhelpful cognitive filters — they can cause more harm than good.

I'll add to that list.
Make scenes lighter so you aren't wondering if things are being shot with the lens cap on.
Adjust the audio levels so that conversations don't require subtitles and action scenes don't require earplugs.
Let white people be the protagonist.
Stop making white males the idiot with the long-suffering minority wife.

Palm Beach’s legendary Mar-a-Lago estate transformed into a dreamy Enchanted Garden for Bettina Anderson’s bridal shower, celebrating her upcoming wedding to Don Jr. The whole affair was bursting with romantic spring florals and elegant vibes. How Bettina captured Don’s heart might come with a dash of tabloid scandal, but we’re fully embracing the playful spirit of those “Love Trumps All” cookies that were served. We are also ignoring the potential double entendres of this messaging. Anyway, Bettina Anderson looked every inch the radiant bride-to-be in a bespoke Safiyaa Agyness dress. The good news? The ready-to-wear version is still available on the Safiyaa site for $2,460—and it’s just as stunning.
She paired it with a delicate Dior Small Lady Dior bag in Latte Cannage calfskin, plus a touch of sparkle from Manolo Blahnik Hangisli satin jewel-buckle slingback pumps in white. For a more budget-friendly option with the same flattering silhouette, try the blue floral midi dress by Mac Duggal—yours for $498 at Nordstrom.
Ivanka Trump brought sophisticated charm in a Zimmermann Alchemy Paisley structured linen and silk organza midi dress in a soft pale pink. It’s still available in limited sizes at Nordstrom for $1,950. She finished the look with what appeared to be a classic brown Hermès Kelly bag.
Want a similar corset-to-fit-and-flare vibe without the splurge? The Hutch Amara Corset Pleated Tulle Fit & Flare Midi Dress at Anthropologie is a winner at $348.
Tiffany Trump leaned into delicate romance with the Duchess The Label Dahlia Dress in a dreamy Powder shade. It’s still available… but you might need to hop on a flight to the Philippines to snag it. A lovely stateside alternative: the As It May Samara Lace Midi Dress at Nordstrom for $595.
Laura Trump went bold and vibrant in a teal-and-pink floral shirt dress from The Westside. Sourcing this one may require a detour to India or Dubai, so consider the fun Alice + Olivia Lucy Sleeveless Mini Shirtdress as a breezy stand-in for $465 at Saks.
And stealing the “sweetest guest” award: Arabella Kushner (Ivanka’s 14-year-old daughter) looked perfectly age-appropriate and adorable in the Zimmermann The Wylie Picnic Dress in Blue Palm from the Resort 2025 collection, originally $850, now sold out.
For a similar tropical ruffled charm that’s actually in stock, Dillard’s has the Mestiza New York Torero Tropical Palm Toile Print square-neck tiered ruffled maxi dress for $595.
With this dreamy kickoff, anticipation is high for the wedding itself! ----- Thanks, Piper! Don't forget to check out Piper's X page.

Recently they argued that increasing taxes to draconian levels would not have any effect on how much people worked AND that it would be good that people would just stop working.
Well, now they've simplified the argument - they'll just kill anyone who makes over $X and that will leave enough for everyone. Amusingly though the Karens I see signing onto this on upperclass leftwing forums are exactly in the target group of the rich to be eaten in the forums for poorer leftwing groups...

Today, an Iranian-flagged cargo ship named TOUSKA, nearly 900 feet long and weighing almost as much as an aircraft carrier, tried to get past our Naval Blockade, and it did not go well for them.
The U.S. Navy Guided Missile Destroyer USS SPRUANCE intercepted the TOUSKA in the Gulf of Oman, and gave them fair warning to stop. The Iranian crew refused to listen, so our Navy ship stopped them right in their tracks by blowing a hole in the engineroom.
Right now, U.S. Marines have custody of the vessel. The TOUSKA is under U.S. Treasury Sanctions because of their prior history of illegal activity. We have full custody

His trial is coming up real fast. And the judge has imposed some strict rules. Everyone entering the courtroom will be searched to prevent any funny business like signs. There will only be nine from the media allowed in. There will be no live streaming and no broadcasting anything in the courtroom. If the media wants to interview any participants, it must happen after the trial.

That's definitely a thousand-liter tote. It's a very standard size. A thousand liters is one cubic meter - a cube one meter on each side. Compared to the size of the car, that fits. A thousand liters is about 265 gallons.

Been doing some "engineering" today - since I will be traveling semi-solo a couple of times over the next month, I need to be able to get me, my scooter, and my luggage from Point A to Point B by myself.
Mr. TiFW and I have been looking at bungee cords and luggage straps and various and sundry things to make my job easier and keep my luggage attached to the back of my scooter without all of the pieces wildly careening around, striking unsuspecting airport/hotel patrons.
This system must also be easy to set up and take down without executing the 5 basic ballet moves, because - again - I will be on my own. I have a bunch of different pieces being delivered to Chez TiFW over the next couple of days - I will figure this out and have fun doing it!
I told Mr. TiFW that I can't believe that no one has come up with a solution for this problem by now - my scooter is "freedom" for me, but I always feel so bad for Mr. TiFW when he has to schlep his bags and mine and Rebecca's when we travel.
Hopefully this will help in some small way -

It would be a hoot to pump a few thousand cubic feet of acetylene down that well in Qom, and then light it off. Acetylene makes wonderful explosions, and it's much heavier than air, so it would drop right to the bottom of that well, and permeate along any tunnels intersecting it.

Don't know if that would work, but it would be fun. You have one single goal when removing an ant hill. KILL THE QUEEN. That a "game over".
Best way is to use an insecticide (but leave the ant hill alone for a full day or they will split the colony). Then, once the insecticide is down the hatch...wait a little while and then pour a couple gallons of boiling water down the main shoot. It will go right to a lethargic queen...and you're good.

Today at a Wal-Mart I saw an old lesbian pull in with a nice looking convertible Mercedes-Benz with a big "No Kings" sticker on the trunk.
It could have been an old guy who just happened to look like an old lesbian...

Rationale for using liquid nitrogen is it's fairly cheap, non-toxic to humans and pets, and non-persistent. I expect it ought to freeze many of the bastards solid; not sure if that would kill them, though, and also might suffocate them. Again, not sure how long they need to be deprived of oxygen for a certain kill.

And on another note, I just wanted to give another plug to the "Sight and Sound" production of " A Great Awakening movie ." Of course I learned about George Whitfield in church history class, but this movie really made him come alive for me. This is a background video with the actors talking their roles. What I liked about t it is that they both are so refreshing and down to earth and really rather humble. It doesn't sound much like Many Hollywood actors, does it.? I don't know about the actor who plays Benjamin Franklin, but I'm guessing he wouldn't be working with them for years on their stage shows for Sight and Sound if his faith wasn't important to him. Jonathan Blair who plays Whitefield is quite forthright about his faith.
Anyway, it's a non woke movie and it's really a guy friend film, since the only woman in it is Whitefield's mother . Eight minute video. Although maybe it's better if you've already seen the movie.

I probably should have specified that I am doing this project to get all of my stuff through airports and hotels by myself without taking out any passengers or patrons who may be unlucky enough to be in my blind spots. Part of the problem is that any "system" has to be flexible, but semi-"rigid" in order to keep everything attached and in a straight line behind the scooter.
I am sure that I must have looked quite the sight this afternoon riding my scooter down the street, trailing luggage behind me 😂😂😂 It is the only way to figure out what works and what doesn't, though! Theory is all well and good, but everyone knows that a good idea can fall apart when testing starts...

Well I had a real sonofabitchin' cocksucker of a week.
A whole lot of crap at work. My daughter was sick, my stepson was a pain in the ass, and my wife was overworked too, so it all sucked. But I was feeling better after a day and a half of gardening, and as I was putting down my pepper patch, she calls me in tears.
Someone broke into her car while she was in church, of all places. So we had to talk to cops for awhile, and then I had to go make a big, ugly scene in the courtyard of the rathole apartments across from her church once they left.
But I can say this - no matter how much it might suck, at least I'm not a 53 year old man with undescended testicles, in a Democrat GOTV choir singing a desultory parody of "Golden" by Huntr/x.
I guess some guys are just like "well I'm going to Hell no matter what, so I might as well start getting acclimated. "

That's a lovely wagon, but it would just be one more piece of luggage that I would have to check at the airport. Then there is the problem of loading the scooter (which collapses), my luggage, me, and then the collapsed wagon into either an Uber or a shuttle, and then reversing all of that when I get to the hotel and try to get everything into the room!
Bungee cords and luggage straps can be taken on and off with relative speed and ease, and packed into a carry-on bag with the scooter batteries at the gate. What I am working out now is how to get everything bundled together (if possible). I may end up with something resembling a spider when all is said and done! 😂
The nice thing is that we found some "flat" bungee cords that look nice, and the hooks fit perfectly onto the frame of the scooter. Like I said, it's currently a work in progress; I hope to have all of the kinks worked out before we hit NYC next month.

From Jim Dunigan of Strategy Page who is long time defense analyst,
"Russian forces advanced at a rate of 14.9 square kilometers a day from October 2024 to March 2025, compared with 10.7 square kilometers a day from March 1, 2025, to October 1 and 5.5 square kilometers a day in the first three months of 2026.
Ukraine began attacking Russia’s two oil export terminals on the Baltic Sea to deny Russian efforts to benefit from increasing oil income. Oil companies warned buyers they could declare force majeure on supply contracts from major Baltic Sea ports. Oil export facilities at the Baltic’s Ust-Luga and Primorsk account for about 60 percent of Russia’s oil export capacity. The closure of one will significantly restrict Russia’s ability to generate income for its war in Ukraine.
So far Russia lost 40 to 43 percent of its oil export capacity and oil exports had fallen from four million to 2.32 million barrels per day. These operations have also reduced the domestic oil supply. And they have been attacking munitions factories to the point that Russian missile production is down 45 percent.

Have you considered something like a Molle (US Army current model) pack and saddlebags? It used to be the thing to sling a backpack on the sissy bar of a motorcycle. Maybe one of the bike riders here can give you a suggestion.

37 A few hours ago Trump ordered the USS Spruance to open fire on a Chinese cargo ship headed for Iran which refused to stop for the blockade. The Spruance contacted the Chinese ship and told them to evacuate their engineering section; then sent several 5” shells through their engine compartment. Then they boarded her.
It’ll be damned interesting to see what cargo they were hauling - I’ll bet it wasn’t condensed milk.
Goes without saying that both the Iranians and the Chinese are pissed the hell off.

My wife and several of the cats have managed to do this trick to me.
A friend once complained that his cat would "make biscuits" on his side at night until he rolled over, and then would occupy the warm spot, until it cooled off, and then repeated the trick until he fell off the bed.
I like cats.

From Al Jazeera, "He (Ukrainian colonel) said an increase in mid-range strikes against logistics, warehouses, command posts and oil depots 30-120 km into the Russian rear had been particularly effective in hamstringing Russian assaults"
There will be additional turns but essentially the front is stagnant with continued bloodletting mainly for whoever is on the offensive. Beginning to remind me of the Iran-Iraq war in the 80's. The last couple of years were Iranian human wave attacks against dug in Iraqis.

The fun part is trying to turn corners - imagine a big piece of luggage strapped to a much smaller carry-on piece of of luggage, being hauled behind a motorized scooter. The scooter goes one way, the luggage goes the other way, and people are running for their lives trying to dodge the little old lady from Pasadena (Texas). It's a Benny Hill finale on steroids 😂
I think we have that part figured out, but it's going to take at least 2-3 long bungees wrapped around the larger piece of luggage and a secure way to strap the smaller suitcase to the larger one such that it doesn't go flying when turning a corner.
The good thing is that once the larger piece of luggage is checked, it shouldn't be too hard to maneuver with the smaller piece in tow.
I will definitely be putting something up on Facebook once we get the final design worked out 😊

How does Milo know this? Did he have anal sex with your husband? Or did your husband suck Milo’s d**k? Did he swallow? And did he brush his teeth after kissing your mouth?
Why did Milo, who you are now claiming is a credible source, say your husband is gay and that his anus is getting plunged? "

Hungary under Orban was blocking the EU's plan to get loans against frozen Russian assets in the EU in order to give to Ukraine. Means billions more for Zelenskyy. Current setup of the EU required unanimity for the loan package. Originally the EU just wanted to steal the frozen Russian funds but Trump talked them out of it at the time during the peace negotiations.
Brave AI
"The EU has frozen approximately €210 billion of Russian central bank assets, primarily held at Euroclear in Brussels, since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. In December 2025, the EU triggered Article 122 of the EU treaties, an emergency clause, to indefinitely immobilise these assets, removing the need for biannual unanimous renewal and preventing vetoes by member states like Hungary.

Awfully early for tulips to bloom,
Fifteen years ago or thereabouts, during a push to derive industrial chemicals from renewable biomass, DuPont researched how to produce tulipalin for use as a comonomer in the manufacture of polymethylmethacrylate. Tulipalin was found in tulips, as its name suggested. The program did not pan out and the research work was stopped.

Speaking of Iranian rockets, some leaked intel assessments of Iran's remaining ballistic missile inventory put the level as high as 50% of pre-war stocks. These are comments to the press by Israeli and US (I think, have lost track) intel types.

They were supposedly testing such but I think the power demands at the time were too much for repeated firing. But dunno.

They've done testing of ship-based lasers. Power requirements are huge. 100kW to 1MW required and the range is maybe 10 miles give or take.
They did test such a thing on an aircraft, but scrapped the program because it just wasn't viable. Range, power, and weight problems to be a viable weapon.

Well, you could have a hundred kW generator charging up a capacitor bank. Discharge could be in the MW range for a few seconds. Laser just needs to send an intense burst for some fraction of a second, and not be on steady like a searchlight.

The test airborne laser was the Boeing YAL-1, if interested. It was a heavily modified 747-400F.
There have been further ideas about such airborne lasers since then, using unmanned drones. I don't know if any of them are still being pursued.

Bezos booster was successful, but the second stage fucked up the payload orbit. The satellite, some communication thing, will be unusable and will have to be deorbited. Blue Origin said no worries, the spacecraft was fully insured.
I wonder how much payload insurance costs?

Just to be clear, stuff like this happens all the time with new rockets. It just takes them a few flights to get all the bugs worked out.
I'm pulling for Bezos. The more, the merrier. Blue Origin is competing or trying to with SpaceX with lunar landers, and is aiming for an unmanned test landing in a year or so. More power to 'em.

Braenyard, I am not actively seeking anyone, as far as I have witnessed women greatly outnumber men in memory care facilities. I was viewed as an interloper when I visited hubs in the "home", seriously, one woman was convinced that my husband was her man and she rammed me with her wheelchair a few times. My odds of finding a kindred spirit who isn't married in this liberal state are down to zero.

Men are designed to die. They perpetuate the species their job is done. Women nurture the rest of their lives.

There's a lot of truth to that. When I was doing kitchens and baths we worked in a different house almost every week or 2. You saw the dudes that were just waiting to die.

There's one in an outbuilding here. Hubs has a 2000 Sportster 1200. And it's been in some state of disassembly for a few years! I had no idea there was any problem with it, he just stopped riding (while we were both still working) but I figured it was simply a matter of convenience, since our hours were early, long and he would tire so easily...
Anyway, it's there and I have *no idea* why he tore into it. Asked him a couple of years ago "Why? You never mentioned it, so what's wrong with it?" and he said he couldn't remember.

Nicks Cigar World New! A note about sources. The brick & mortar/online divide exists with cigars, as with guns, and most consumer products, with respect to price. As with guns - since both are "persecuted industries", basically - I make a conscious effort to source at least some of my cigars from my local store(s). It's a small thing, but the brick & mortar segment for both guns and tobacco are precious, and worth supporting where you can. And if you're lucky enough to have a good cigar store/lounge available, they're often a good social event with many dangerous people of the sort who own scary gunz, or read smart military blogs like this one. -rhomboid Anyone have others to include?

My range bag is a 20year old pink Patagonia backpack.
George (Ruger Mark IV) and some .22 ammo is always in there. Small first aid kit, extra eyes and ears, a pink and green bandana, and the gun of the day plus appropriate ammo.
Also a Rosary. Because never go to the range without the most powerful weapon in my arsenal.
Range time yesterday was awesome. Shot the Walther PPQ like it was an extension of my hand and brain. And I always finish a session plinking with George. Very relaxing.

Small tool bag w/ screwdriver, small pliers. CLP, brass squib rod, multi-tool, scissors, felt pen. Small range notebook & pen. Small ziplock with sunscreen, moisturizer, bandaids, butterfly bandages.
Finally put together a stop-bleed kit with tourniquet, chest seals, hemostatic bandage, gauze pads, Israeli bandage, tape and medic’s scissors. It’s small and can fit in range bag depending on other contents.
Bag has 2 compartments for handguns and sleeves for 8 mags for each.

First in the Club Room (we are swanky that way) waiting for lanes there were 4 gentlemen of military age speaking Arabic.
I tried to not stereotype. I wasn't keeping my eye on them - but I was keeping my eye on them. They finished shooting about the same time we did they were in the hallway to wash hands and I peeped their rifle cases and morale pitches. One guy had a Lebanese flag velcroed on. And a patch that said:

While waiting to process - you still have to do a 4473 after all the other paperwork - I saw in the display case a Sig P226 XFive High Polish Reserve. It was mesmerizing. I could not take my eyes off of it.
Remember this was the shop that I felt like was kind of rude? There were 2 guys behind the counter this time, one the rude guy and one I presume to be the owner. Owner saw me looking and said its a P226. I asked is that an XFive? Rude guy says "Its a P226." Owner says yes its an XFive. Reserve.
I said I have 2 P226s one with West German rollmark and a new Legion. Owner says "you need another one." Take it out of the case - rude starts to catch on, now they are trying to sell it. SO - beautiful gun. The trigger was amazing (told me to dry fire it in the store!) Pics and videos do not do it justice.
If it were only not $3000....
He told me to take it out of the case. Try the trigger he says.

So, last week I spent a lot of time online looking at this new Walther pro Acro. Ed reminded me that I didn't like the Walther grip but it was a long time ago and this one looked great. Well, it turned out that the range had a bunch of new Walthers for sale and I got to handle them and you know what, Ed was right. I don't like the grips. I did not like the Acro sight in comparison to Hollosun.
Bullet dodged.

Depending, it can also be an issue if your shoes or clothes that you travel on board with have recently taken a trip to the gun range.
Floors of gun ranges are loaded with nitrate remnants and shooting leaves gsr (gun shot residue) all over clothes, jackets, etc that have not been laundered. They used to also use dogs (dunno about now) to sniff out explosives and they can signal the presence of nitrates as well.
Posted by: whig at April 19, 2026 07:47 PM (E4rtv)
Anyway, the can. The YHM R9 is fairly small and light. It is Stainless Steel not an exotic titanium or anything but its not heavy. It is inexpensive - I paid $509 plus tax - but that is a function of how it is accessorized - if comes with 5x29 thread and no adapters. Perfect for a PCC. Piston and other adapters are a little more pricy than other models, so depends on your use case whether price works out for you.
I put it on an Extar EP-9. With subsonic 147 grain rounds it was really quiet - we were at the range with ear pro on so can't say how quiet, but shooting next to a 9mm pistol you could really hear the difference.
EP9 is blowback and it is gassy with the can. sra blaster was gassed out in 3 rounds. Made her eyes tear up. I shot a mag of 10 rounds and it made me cough afterward. So there is that. also, in use case consideration.
We put the can on Ed L's MP5K. Nicer experience from the roller delay. And quiet like a pellet gun. Yes, still with ear pro. But all you heard was pfff.

I've mentioned before that I think traveling with firearms can mitigate that. They don't swab your checked bag the normal way (scanner, now, I think) because it's got guns and ammo in it. And they might tag your boarding pass, as well (for the carry-on check).

Everyone expected Spanberger to sign the 2 big bad bills - the assault firearms ban (if you watch a lot of video commentators, they say "assault weapons" but the bill uses the term assault firearms.) and the assault firearms carry bill.
Virginia allows the governor to return bills with amendments and she did. And the amendments added a detachable magazine capacity of over 15 rounds a feature that made an assault firearm.
This really muddies things. Because what does that mean capacity? if you have a 10 round mag in the pistol is it an assault firearm if it COULD have a 17 rounder? It makes practically every centerfire semi-auto an assault firearm. M14's which are usually okay - an assault firearm. Or is it only if it has a >15 round mag? Hard to say. Spanberger also expanded the defined areas "open to the public" that you cannot carry an assault firearm. So it is basically everywhere - which is what open to the public meant, but now it is more explict. Sigh.

HK SP5s are rated to fire +p and +p+ 9mm. The longer barrel will allow those rounds to build up to their theoretical max velocity. In theory, this increases range
Posted by: Ed L at April 19, 2026 08:08 PM (BCwQW)
I have a hopeful theory Spanberger is doing some Dem failure theater - making the bill tougher but knowing it probably won't pass the legislature, and it dies. See, I tried?
Alternatively - she used this to kick the can down the road - if she had signed it - or not vetoed it and allowed it to become law, that would have occurred April 16, and on the 21st we have a vote (well, the last day of 45 day voting season) on redistricting/gerrymandering whatever. If the gun laws haven't become law, then maybe people are less motivated to go vote against it. This unfortunately seems valid. The legislature can essentially ignore the amendments and send back the original bill which Spanberger no doubt signs. Or they vote to include them, and send it back, and Spanberger signs.
This is not good. Also, Grateful - when typing VA it is really easy to type CA instead. I guess not all that much difference.
This hastens our decampment to Florida.

Don't forget to include a booster/piston with your purchase. All pistols using the classic Browning tilt barrel design will need one (Glock, Sig, H&K, more) because the barrel moves during the recoil action of the slide.

I have a decent stash of flints, enough for several years of shooting. But this is why I keep my eyes open for deals for expendable supplies like flints, percussion caps and primers, even 22lr ammo. I've seen enough times when these weren't available for a time so I've learned to maintain a sufficient supply when possible.

Is there a particular texture or color of flint that is preferred? Speaking as retired geologist, "flint" is just a name given to certain types of nodular chalcedony, which is just microcrystalline quartz. "Agate" is the semi-precious form of the same thing, chosen for clarity and color banding.

32-20 is pretty much a reloader only nowadays due to cost and availability plus rifles and handgun ammo in that cartridge should really not be mixed. They used to actually market rifle marked boxes of ammo that should NEVER be used in a handgun despite the bullets and cartridge being identical. Until smokeless powder came, it was not an issue but now it is. You can blow up a handgun with higher pressure rifle marked ammo.
Starline makes the brass but it is come and go for ammo depending on the vagaries of what the Cowboy Shooting afficionados use. It is a sure enough ole Cowboy cartridge.

Got to try Boretech Eliminator and Carbon Cleaner on an old K98, though, spent about an hour on it, and also took apart the bolt for what was probably its first daylight since the late 40's. The bore looks fantastic now... was worried it had gotten pitted with corrosive yugo 8mm and the wet climate I had for years. I got about 1200 rounds of 8mm left, but probably will save it for the kids to run through.
Pro tip; regular motor oil fights rust pretty good, just don't shoot semi autos with it as the mist will give you toxic fumes from the additives. But if you want even better corrosion protection use Corrosion-X. It just plain works, even when wiped to where it is dry to the touch... seems to hold up for years if not disturbed and you avoid outright water or condensation.
You gotta preserve these tools for later generations where possible.

Some types of flint work better than others. The key is to make a size and shape that meet the frizzen (the part that sparks) appropriately. It is very much a hand craft and takes time to learn. First to hammer out the basic shape, then to refine it to the proper edge. The technique is similar to making a flint arrowhead or spear point.

This might be an extremely dumb question, but I will ask it anyway. Could you embed a ferrocerium lighter flint in a matrix of soft metal and use that in a flintlock? If the frizzen is ribbed or knurled, it ought to give a huge shower of sparks.

Worn out or shoddy magazines, poor quality ammo, dirty with a case stuck in the chamber, and wobbly shit like a loose gas key, ruined buffer, or buggered up gas tube. Occasionally you get weirder ones like a cam pin shearing or a popped primer falling into the trigger mechanism.
Also, you get some using 5.56 in a match chambered .223.
The last of it is poor quality build, poor quality parts, and lousy gunsmithing.

Hi AOP,
I don't know if the color makes a difference. In my experience black and amber work the same. I assume the specific rock used lends itself to knapping better than other types of chalcedony. I do have a flint nodule but haven't tried to make anything from it. I have learned to refresh the sharp edge of a gun flint but, with my less than delicate touch, the result isn't assured.

He was a very nice guy, just sort of a too-casual gun guy on the technical side. He brought a group of 5 newbies, who were generally very safe, but we still had eyes-on his group almost every minute.
Speaking of dry, they came to the range because BLM just shut down their lands nearby for shooting due to fire hazard (brush moisture content's gotta be very low, surprised they didn't shut down last month). We were thinking how unpleasant it might have been to be near this group on BLM land with no RSOs or range rules.

Traditional gas impingement/gas piston ARs like to run wet. It can help if you have stainless,chromed, or nitrided steel carriers but you still need lube to avoid galling between the carrier (steel of some sort) and the receiver (aluminum). Match rifles are always fussy especially with ammo.

FWIW, fixing an regular AR rifle at the range is fairly easy as a small packet of parts suitable for a range bag can fix about 95 percent of parts breakages along with using good quality parts in the first place.
A Glock or S&W M&P or Springfield XD, ditto. Then you get into more involved problems requiring a trip home for me. Revolvers in particular, other than a loose screw, are not really fixable in the field for issues like spitting lead, warped crane, timing, bolt, firing pin,etc.

AOP, the question isn't dumb at all. Your describing a wheellock, which worked much like a Zippo lighter. They were used in the 1600s but the mechanism was rather fragile and required specific skills to maintain and repair. They were overtaken by the early flintlocks in the 1700s which were easier and cheaper to make and much more robust. Since I shoot traditional style BP guns, I stick to the standard locks of the 18th and early 19th centuries.
In an absolute SHTF situation, I could use a match or burning twig to ignite the powder in he pan, sort of a half-assed matchlock.

Except I believe the wheellocks used flints to shed sparks off the wheel, right? I don't think ferrocerium "flints" for lighters became available until the 20th Century, maybe late 19th at the earliest.

You should not have any issues to troubleshoot with legit components. BCM, Colt, LMT, Daniel Defense, Sionics, for lower parts kits. LMT, Colt, Vltor for buffer tubes. Toolcraft is OEM for a lot of bolts, as is Microbest. Almost anything forged works for receivers, but be aware that PSA machines them differently for cost savings and this can cause weird crap like halves that won't mate, finicky charging handle slots, etc.
There are tools you can get to tweak the gas tube in the upper so it doesn't bind on the carrier key (Michiguns) and jigs (SLR) to dimple gas blocks. Geissele makes a nice gas tube roll pin punch. Very handy. Precision Armament makes a great shim set to time brakes and flash hiders. That's about the only tricky stuff in a normal build. Magpul BEV blocks or MI reaction rods make barreling trivial these days.
I should consider doing a whole writeup, honestly.

I was thinking of the general mechanism, not the materials. I hadn't even heard of ferrocerium until I looked into a fire starting kit and those are modern. I've seen mention of using a ferro rod or piece against a file attached to the frizzen face. Supposedly it worked but the traditional style locks made it difficult to keep the materials in proper alignment. It was all done as a fun experiment, apparently.

I'm fairly serene about prevailing overall, so not inclined to get wrapped around the axle about the constant 180s and contradictions (in public matters).
There are plenty of targets to address of the sort previously visited. Missile launchers and storage, primarily (the turbans have been busily unearthing lots of both), and (my favorite, for reasons) suppressing anti-shipping capability in a systematic fashion beyond what's been done already.

I ended up getting a crowsfoot assortment just for tightening AR handguard barrel nuts with torque wrenches. I built quite a few to say FU to Barry Soetero and his causing panic buying by his bloviations and DoJ criminal cronies like Holder, etc.

Never heard the question come up. I assumed Boone used prepared flints, which were easily available in the 1700s. Even carrying a good supply on a long trek would be light and not require much space in his pack. There are examples of leather 'flint wallets' from that time designed to hold several and protect the edges

Depends on the tempering. Some of the Chicom steel is just trash. Barrel nuts depend on whether you use the GI plastic handguards which are not floating or whether you use aftermarket Keymod or M-KLok handguards. Those generally come with a proprietary barrel nut which also serves to attach the floating handguard unit.

Hope you get it out to try, especially with warmer weather coming up. Traditions gets knocked a lot but I have several and while they aren't high end, they work just fine. I think you would have fun learning how to load and maintain BP guns.
BTW, flintlocks really need real black powder to function reliably. The substitutes like pyrodex aren't as good although they work just fine for percussion guns.

52 One piece of advice--never use your range bag for traveling, especially on airlines. Have a separate distinct range bag.
The nitrates from gunpowder can be flagged at airports doing swab tests plus you might have a loose round etc. in it that you missed.
Nylon bags/backpacks/etc are too cheap to risk dual use.

Years ago, some time after 9/11, my wife got pulled aside for "enhanced screening" every single time she flew. They were shifty about it -- wouldn't admit what they were doing, put some little symbol
on her ticket. They would swab her shoes and run the sample on some little compact mass spec. We figured that since she was labelling samples with dinitrotoluene derivatization, the'airpirt security people must have detected DNT at some point. (TNT normally has a few percent DNT in it, and has a vapor pressure a few thousand times greater than TNT itself. DNT is used as a detection marker for TNT.) When she confronted them about the apparent designation and diversions, it stopped.

Food Thread: Oatmeal Venison Cookies...The Best Of Both Worlds?
I absolutely love the idea of fried pickles, and what's not to love? Pickles are great. Fried things are great. Add them together and we get double the greatness...right? But life is sometimes not fair, and this is an example of that. Hell, this recipe for Stuffed Fried Pickles adds cheese! How bad could it be? Pretty bad. I have been burned enough by the whole "Fried Pickle Tease" that I just move on when I see this sort of stuff. Anyone have good luck with frying pickles?
I just had a bit of a superb oatmeal-cranberry cookie. For breakfast. With my coffee. Damn...it was fantastic. Much better than the standard Quaker Oats recipe, which always leaves me just a bit disappointed. The oats are too evident, which suggests that using cooked oats or even soaked raw oats might be the way to go.
The garlic is busily growing, with pretty impressive green shoots that are pushing a foot tall! Just high enough for the deer to eat, or those vile rodents with bushy tails and a penchant for damaging my home. But if they survive the deer and squirrel apocalypse, and actually grow into something edible, I will be in garlic heaven! In case it doesn't, send all of your excellent home-grown garlic to: cbd dot aoshq at gmail dot com. Rumor has it that the Bourbon Bubble is bursting. I have seen no evidence of decreasing prices, but maybe the bursting started somewhere else! I think the sweet spot is $40-$60 for excellent and interesting bottles, and bumping that to $100 gets you an incremental improvement in quality, but nothing mind-blowing. More than that and I think you are paying for hype and rarity, which may look good in your liquor cabinet, but doesn't translate to more quality in the bottle. The problem...or the solution...is to buy lots of bourbon, take tasting notes, and eventually arrive at your favorites! It should take forty or fifty years, but it is worth it!

Today's food experiment was trying to use up the Easter sweet bread (similar to challa) by trying to recreate a savory bread pudding I had with some duck at a favorite restaurant a couple of months ago. The end result was an herbed bread pudding with balsamic-glazed caramelized onions, topped with herbed goat cheese. I'm pleased to report that it was delicious, and paired well with a good steak. 10/10, would make again.

But the Yorkshire puddings could be just as communal...or the brown potatoes. Heck, I'd have them all communal and just present the protein center of plate if I was a restauranteur...and then let folks pick from all the items to surround their protein.
Would just make the plate was less brown and drab. It's like being the British cliche (although I guess to totally be that cliche, one piece of watercress must adorn it).

But life is sometimes not fair, and this is an example of that. Hell, this recipe for Stuffed Fried Pickles adds cheese! How bad could it be?
Seem to recall having fried pickles and thought they were a tangy fried green tomato. Pickles and cheese is not a natural paring in my mind, so frying them together would not occur to me. But pickles on a cheeseburger...hmmm..
So, if I had access to a deep fryer in someone else's kitchen, I might butterfly a large pickle and add a filling of seasoned ground beef and shredded cheese (I'm thinking a sharp cheddar of pepper jack). Close it up and tie it with a few turns of twine, dust with seasoned flour, egg wash, and bread crumbs, and deep fry until golden. That just might work...

The trick to good venison is proper curing - while some people say the old way of strapping it the hood of your Delta 88 and parading it about town for a week results in the most tender cuts I think it result in too much flavor and recommend a more controlled environment such as a small commercial butcher's cooler.

There was this local breakfast place in Hawaii (29+ yrs ago) that had good Eggs Benedict. You could get it with the usual Canadian ham abomination, real bacon, spam, or smoked salmon.

I used diced chicken thighs, diced water chestnuts, and diced bamboo shoots. I was heavy on the seasoning and cooked it down until almost all the liquid had evaporated. Served with a bit of white rice on romaine lettuce leaves.

Anyway, these have been salted a few hours ago, and I just pulled them from the fridge to rest for about 30 minutes before putting them on the fire. I only do this with ribeyes, as I want to render those wonderful pockets of fat that are characteristic of this cut. Mashie taters on the side.
The wine is a cab from Aldi's, sale priced at 4.99. Now before you scoff, I'll offer that about a year ago I encountered a 2019 cab at that price and it was stellar. In fact our very own Ben Had opined that it was like drinking silk. I was buying every bottle they had until it disappeared. Anyway, this example that I'm looking at does not list a vinting year, so...probably less like silk and more like...jute? Nevertheless, I go boldly with little regard to my own personal safety. I remain a giver to the end...

What's his name- the dr ace has linked in the past on keto- mentions you should not count the carbs from leafy green vegetables when doing your counts.
One problem I have with his system is: Keto. Ok. Intermittent fasting. Ok. Keto meals tend to be fat heavy so you end up being able to make the distance on that strength.
But then he wants you to eat some ridiculous amount of leafy greens. Something like 4-8 cups of salad. A Day. With the other shit. How the hell do people fit that in? You fill up on fat and a mountain of spinach is not exactly appetizing. Especially when you have like a 4 hour window to eat.

Absolutely! The local farmer's market is just starting up again and radishes are some of the first fresh offerings. I slice them thin but still thick enough to add some crunch along with the flavor. I also use them in the same thickness, kept in ice water for that crunchy, vibrant taste.

Salty says KS overall has more cows than people. (Salina, where I am now, is a much more bustling place.) It just seems like false advertising to call your town "Gas" and not have a service station on the main highway.
Though it might have been named for natural gas wells. Never mind.
