Scott Bessent: I Had to Move to a Miliatry Base Because the IRGC Is Sending Assassins to Kill Me At My Home Because Treasonous "Journalists" at the Wall Street Journal Showed Them Exactly Where I Live
It's time to start publishing "journalists'" home addresses, and the bars they get drunk at, and the homes of the men and women they cheat on their wives with.
Oh wait we can't do that -- "journalists'" lives are too precious to risk, unlike normal Americans' lives.Eric Daugherty
@EricLDaugh 3h 🚨 HOLY SMOKES. Treasury Sec. Scott Bessent just said "F THE IRANIAN LEADERSHIP" and that he had to move to a military base because the WSJ published his HOUSE ONLINE "One of the reasons I had to move is because the WSJ printed a PHOTO OF MY HOUSE the DAY I bought it that has GEO-LOCATE on it! In a highly irresponsible way, the editor, we PLEADED with her NOT to print the location of my house, she DID ANYWAY." 😡 "We're NOT gonna be cowered...the IRGC are like a dangerous, cornered animal." "I followed Secret Service instructions and moved from my home to a military base." Pray for Secretary Bessent! 🙏🏻 The Journal ran an AERIAL VIEW of his $12.5 million home back in 2025 Bessent has led Operation Economic Outcast since August, the sanctions campaign CRUSHING Iran's economy, which made him a top Iranian target This week the DOJ indicted three Iranian nationals tied to nearly 20 attacks and attempted attacks across Europe and the U.S. Rubio and Miller had to move too.

New Democrat Plan to Solve the "Housing Crisis:" Let's Inflate the Housing Market By Pouring Government Cash Into It and Letting People Who Can't Afford a Mortgage Buy Homes Until They Default
Say.... wait a minute...
Isn't this how they created the 2008 housing market collapse the crashed the world economy? And then blamed on Republicans? Well, since they got away with it once, I guess it's time to crash the world economy again. For Great Justice. And... "Affordability."One of President Biden's economic officials wants to create a system where people can pay just $1,000 to buy a home. What could possibly go wrong?$1,000 for an entire house. The housing crisis of 2008 was caused by "Ninja" loans -- No Income, No Job. Now we're adding to "no down payment, no money at all." Just a free house. For a very nominal payment of $1,000, which I'm sure will be waived for Democrat Constituents. Bloomberg:
A top Biden administration economic official is pitching Democrats on a low-down-payment proposal to bring millions of new homebuyers into the market, as incoming congressional leaders take stock of affordability measures that might help them notch early legislative wins. A new policy group chaired by former National Economic Council Director Lael Brainard is pushing for the creation of a Federal Housing Administration program to facilitate home purchases with as little as $1,000 down for first-time buyers who meet "strong underwriting criteria," according to a copy of the proposal reviewed by Bloomberg News.Uh-huh. If they have only managed to save $1,000, they do not have "strong underwriting criteria." This fiction is added so they can say "But it's not like the 2008 housing collapse, we're only giving free houses to people with no money but who have 'strong underwriting criteria.'"
Housing is a key factor in the widespread frustration over the high cost of living that helped fuel Democrats' historic rout of Republicans in last week's midterm elections. Some 77% of Americans support zero-down payment loans for qualifying first-time buyers, according to a survey by the Kitchen Table Project, the Brainard group that debuted in June and calls itself a "policy pop-up."What about all the other Democrat spending priorities? Don't worry, Jerry. They write it off. They write it off.
This is absurd. Down payments for homes are usually 20% of the value of the home. The average cost of a home in the US is $472,000. So a down payment would be something like $95,000. The Democrats are proposing only a $1,000 down payment, and then pretending the $94,000 usually expected is just Free Money that will cost the taxpayers "a minimal amount." They're really doing it all again. Just like with their eternal bleat the Real Communism Has Never Been Tried. Real Housing Bubble Collapse That Crashes the Global Economy has never been tried. Update:
Proposals to provide down payment assistance generally take the form of "grants, and grants are a direct cost to the government, and we know that we already have additional fiscal priorities," Brainard added, pointing to Democratic agenda items like restoring Affordable Care Act and Medicaid subsidies along with food assistance. "We really looked for proposals that could be done with a minimal amount of taxpayer funding."
Evicting them for non-payment in a year is the comeback. Posted by: San Franpsycho at November 13, 2026 12:14 PM (RIvkX) No one will be evicted for non-payment. Posted by: Heavy MetaCorrect. That's the move: Let them take a house for $1,000, then make all attempts to evict and repossess illegal. "Minimal taxpayer cost," you know.

Oh boy. I was saying in the last thread that the Dems have great campaign issues. Free healthcare, free college, no more ICE.
Now they have another one. Free housing.
As Lizlem said, we've got to change the phrasing. "Taxpayer-funded housing."
I also suggest:
Soviet-style housing.
1984-style housing.
Medieval-style housing. (The lords and ladies in government decide what you get, but you can bet they'll always get the best.)

This is part of an overall economy that's much better, across the board, than every year under the vegetable (and most under the affirmative action empty suit).
Of course much of the progress is in areas not felt by the common voter, whose understanding of economics resembles that of a chimpanzee and whose attention span is that of a fruit fly. But they all are the basis for future growth (real growth, manufacturing and basic industries, not state employees and even more "health" employment).
(cue the observation that it's so hard to find a job nowadays ..... compared to .... when exactly? having changed jobs/paths multiple times over the decades I do not recall a single time it was easy, and that includes "boom" cycles)

Add that any bank that loans in any way or is guaranteed by the government in any way on this:
1) cannot write the loss against their taxes, e.g. they have to eat the loss in full.
2) has to make it a non-recourse loan, e.g., they can't sue the borrower for the balance after foreclosure.
Add the kicker: "Why $1k and not $0? Americans are suffering--Rs are here to help."
Those are easy sells as "fighting corporate greed."
And no bank will touch those loans.
PS: Fuck the builders--they came out massively against Rs in TX.

Bad/coerced/subsidized housing loans only were more than a bump to overcome because the whole thing was weaponized and globalized like mad. FNMA pushed its people to push bad paper (we had a commenter here at the time who provided inside anecdotal accounts), Treasury and the Fed pushed banks (many were more than wary), the Fed (NY branch, whose bailiwick this is) pushed European banks to participate (they were also unenthusiastic).
Oh - and the NY Fed guy who did this was punished for his role in the greatest needless financial disaster in history by .... being made Treasury secretary. After surviving the jaw-dropping and hilarious issue where he pretended to not know that World Bank Group compensation was tax-net.
Half of government policy (and the entirety of that by Dems) is just looting, vandalism, and clownish incompetence. For which there is never any accounting or political cost.

The next driver is the cost of gasoline. The easiest solution is to remove all restrictions on drilling and refining in the US. Also massive attacks on Iran leaving them unable to even field drones
The next driver is illegals and immigration. More people on welfare more money taken from the productive class to pay for THEIR food. So not only is demand going up which raises costs, the government has no regard for getting food cheaply so your hard earned dollars have to compete against Urban Annie's Bidenbux on doordash, fast food, and hohos...

How the White House Functioned With a Diminished Biden in Charge
To adapt the White House around the needs of a diminished leader, they told visitors to keep meetings focused. Interactions with senior Democratic lawmakers and some cabinet members—including powerful secretaries such as Defense’s Lloyd Austin and Treasury’s Janet Yellen—were infrequent or grew less frequent. Some legislative leaders had a hard time getting the president’s ear at key moments, including ahead of the U.S.’s disastrous pullout from Afghanistan.
Senior advisers were often put into roles that some administration officials and lawmakers thought Biden should occupy, with people such as National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, senior counselor Steve Ricchetti and National Economic Council head Lael Brainard and her predecessor frequently in the position of being go-betweens for the president.

They did it before by forcing banks (on penalty of the Gov't pulling their balls out through their throat) to give loans to "minority" and "underprivileged" for homes, despite terrible FICO scores (which turn out to be an excellent way to determine credit-worthiness). Those loans were collected together with other "good" loans into securities which where given the seal of approval by bond rating agencies...Then the foreclosures on the "bad" loans started happening...

THE MORNING RANT: Ron DeSantis Separates Himself from Legacy GOP with Attack on “Corporatism”
, I am trying to shame companies that give capitalism a bad name, because they actually empower the enemies of economic freedom.
Some of the topics I’ve covered include:
Beverage/snack companies are dependent on SNAP benefits (food stamps) for more than 20% of their revenue. Along with grocery stores, they lobbied furiously against changes to eligible SNAP products, since they are so reliant on taxpayer money being redistributed to them through the SNAP program. (“PepsiCo [Frito Lay] Snack Sales Decline as SNAP Restrictions Kick In” - 8/07/2026)
The “EV Transition” was largely an effort by various levels of government to redistribute wealth to EV manufacturers. I have written many articles documenting the incentives, mandates, federal rebates, regulatory credits, etc. that favored Rivian, Tesla, and other EV manufacturers at the expense of taxpayers not even purchasing those products.
“Pro-business” governors like Brian Kemp of Georgia flushed billions of taxpayer dollars into failed or failing EV-related ventures. These included $2 billion to Hyundai to build an EV assembly plant, $1.5 billion to Rivian for a plant that was never built, and $300 million to SK for a battery manufacturing plant that could not support the jobs it promised. The government redistribution of wealth from working people to favored corporations is neither capitalism nor free market economics. I prefer to call it venture communism.
Regarding data centers, one reason I believe there is such public opposition is that the public doesn’t trust elected officials not to provide data centers with taxpayer-subsidized utilities and tax abatements. I absolutely support data center construction so long as there is no crony capitalism involved, but it is understandable that voters with empty wallets are skeptical, especially since so many early data center proposals demanded taxpayer subsidization.
The problem with corporate behavior today isn’t just the crony capitalism, it’s also the morally bankrupt ethos that has become mainstream in corporations.
Prominently, this includes the embrace of what is effectively chattel labor. It can be in the form of foreign, low-paid, H-1B labor who can’t otherwise compete in the U.S. job market, or it may be subcontractors using off-the-books, illegal aliens as a source of untaxed and unregulated labor. I have documented multiple examples where subcontracted illegal laborers are living in slave-like conditions in the United States. Corporate America just winks at these abuses, then pawns off the cost of healthcare and other social services to taxpayers.
Even if not illegal, there are too many examples of executives looting their companies by taking short-term actions that enrich themselves but harm the company’s employees and shareholders. As an example, in an October 2025 piece titled “Unhelpful in the Battle Against Socialism’s Growing Appeal: Sherwin Williams Eliminates Employees’ 401(k) Match Amidst Stock Buybacks and Increased CEO Compensation,” I documented how Sherwin Williams:
• Eliminated the company’s 401k matching program, “conserving” $165 million of cash.
• At the same time, it increased the CEO’s compensation to $12.9 million, a 28% increase. • This was also while it flushed away $892 million of its cash on stock buybacks, to prop up the stock price upon which executive bonuses are based. This was not illegal, but it was despicable. There are so many more examples. Be it Panera, or MGM, or other corporations, I keep pointing out that a toxic business school strategy has taken hold in which these practices are employed: • Customers are “revenue-mined” with new and outrageous charges that produce a short-term boost in sales. • Headcount and customer service are slashed to reduce labor expense, giving a short-term boost to operating profit. • Cheapening their product with reductions in quality and/or size, producing a short-term boost in gross profit. These actions drive away customers and do not create wealth. Rather, they are the actions of corporate climbers who made it to the C-suites and are now extracting the wealth that others created. As I wrote in a piece titled “’Financialization of All the Things’ is Parasitism, not Capitalism”:In my opinion, the “financialization-of-all-the-things” is a form of parasitism that does not create wealth, rather it serves to extract the accumulated wealth from entities where wealth has previously been created. Those engaging in “financialism” are the corporate world’s version of tapeworms and ticks.It’s also despicable when large corporations engage in unethical behavior to harm small businesses. In a recent piece that documented how counterfeit goods are a core product of Amazon’s business model, I wrote, “When a major corporation winks at its platform being used for the counterfeit sale of legitimate small businesses’ products, there is not a ‘magic hand’ of supply and demand at work. Rather, it is a form of theft from the legitimate small businesses.” Thank you, Ron DeSantis. As pro-free enterprise patriots fighting the siren song of socialism, it is imperative that the conservative movement tackles the cancer of corporatism and unethical corporate behavior.
He’s right… @BuckThrockmort has been an excellent chronicler of the extent to which corporate America has pursued strategies that, while legal, are gross and fundamentally unAmerican.

I can see how investing in stock to see a company grow or investing in stock to get dividends are good for the economy overall - and this is how stocks originated, shares of companies that you profited from if they profited.
But I do have a difficult time seeing how more complex financial instruments help the economy as a whole. Perhaps some one could make the argument for them?

Pure socialism just gets millions killed because it generates no value and just consumes whatever the society it is ruling had generated before.
Corporatism though allows some economic growth but with the corporate and government elites controlling it so they get rich and creative destruction never happens.
This is the system Mussolini created after he broke with the international socialists because pragmatically it sort of works. This is the path Gorby was going down but started too late, and the path Deng in China implemented when he came to power

But it is not just businesses that have lobbyists. China has lobbyists AND honeypot spies and Chinese (CCP) students spying and controlling things.
And "financialism" is how many middle class workers have gained most of their wealth. The passive bid in the stock market keeps floating valuations higher ... one can never lose.
Of course when the Great Depression hit, it took stocks 25 years to get back to the highs of 1929. But we got rid of the gold standard so now we can QE to infinity, because BigGov is just that smart. (or maybe not, $40T debt ... and we though Bush's $6T was outrageous).

I don't think these young socialists know any more about "crony capitalism" or "corporatism" than they do about socialism. In fact, I'm not sure they'd recognize those terms. Their buzz-words are "corporate greed" and even, simply "the corporations." That's all you need in order to be evil.
They don't know squat about Sherwin-Williams's 401k cancellation; they know that Elon is a trillionaire, which is enough to call for his arrest or worse.
It's true, it all needs reform, but I don't think this is what's griping the young socialists. They simply don't understand that capitalism is NOT a zero-sum game and they don't like those CEOs and corporations being so rich. Nationalize them, seize the CEOs' wealth, and voila! The windmill will be finished in no time.

The argument for futures/forwards is straightforward, it gives commodity producers the ability to lock in prices helping their long-term planning and equipment investment. Or in international exchange to sell at known values in domestic currencies.
Most other markets are not large enough to be very impactful. The main issue that tends to emerge from the finance sector is overleveraging during periods of relative stability.
Financialization is a misleading term here since it seems to refer to operational decisions, not making businesses or their debt tradeable.

If anything, the fact that DeSantis doesn't always agree with Trump and comes up with arguments to justify his position is a strength, not a weakness. Is he 100% perfect? Hell, no, but he is by far one of the best potential candidates in 2028.

Vance's adoption of Tucker worries me. That shows poor judgement to me.
His calling out the war as slowly Biden-inflation recovery doesn't bother me, because people could see prices increase, and that's why they threw the Democrats out in '24. And that helped in the Republicans defeat with smooth brains who can't think of secondary effects.
So, I'd vote for Rubio or DeSantis before him.
Rubio/DeSantis or vice versa would make a dynamite team.
Both are short though and apparently that makes a difference.

"Education", and the entire idiot marinade in which the populace soaks (media, pop culture, everything) clearly is the major factor.
And as Buck's discussion makes clear, though I don't think he made this point, there's no particular GOP specialty with corporatism. If anything it's far worse with the Dems, who actually do approach a fascist model (using the word accurately and in historical context).
So "corporatism" taints both parties, more so the Dems. And then there's the issue of defining where corporatism starts and a representative government being responsive ends.

When Dems win elections their activists and voters get PAID and Republicans get harmed.
When Republicans win Republican voters get harmed marginally less.

I agree, the fervent socialists don't know and don't care. I think Buck's point is that for those who aren't rabid socialist idiots, they see and hear corporations hiring H-1Bs and firing their parents, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. They hear about pension and 401(K) cuts and the rising cost of insurance and then news reports about corporations receiving all sorts of government incentives (and certain Congress critters getting filthy rich from conveniently timed stock market trades).
They intuitively sense that something is fundamentally broken, and they only ones they hear who are promoting something different are the Socialists. They need to hear more Republicans like DeSantis decrying corporatism, and the Trump administration needs to keep up and promote the destruction of the H-1B system.

Remains to be seen, if solid data exists, what actually motivated the Dem turnout explosion. "Corruption" is leading contender - what? That redounds to *Dem* benefit? Also needs to be explained how such a gigantic turnout increase was accomplished. Don't believe there's been anything like it in our entire history.
Here in politically dead CA, perhaps it's understandable that it's almost as if there were no election at all. Not even lawn signs for local stuff. Nothing. Nobody talked about it. It made 1996 look like a high-intensity election.
I don't know, but impression is that it was similar elsewhere. I'm probably not up with all the available actual data, but I still find the whole thing baffling.

1) People that are nominally right leaning want certain things - the end of immigration, H1Bs, discretionary spending, etc. This would immediately help them in measurable ways. Trump gave them some of that but the Republican congress had almost no interest in delivering all that - same deal with Republican state level officials
2) The FSA pays little direct consequences for just demanding more money every year. Yes in the long term its why our cities are shitholes but that is too long term for them to consider. Now Trump's fraud investigations started into this area but again the Republican congress did nothing to support it and most Republican lead states ignored all the fraud...

It's a bit late in the day to expect orthodox interpretations of Christianity to be decisive in politics when the supposedly Christian-friendly party long ago abandoned any pretense of defending the faith in the public square, threw in the towel on all but the most extreme aspects of LBGT+ issues, won't engage in the culture war.
Apart from that, GOP pollsters have said they've had a hard time getting people to accept what the Democrats actually believe on these issues.
I've complained about this for years: "Vote red or transsexual imams will gay-marry your children in unisex restrooms" is not the winning argument that the GOP base (which needs no convincing) thinks it is.

The biggest challenge I see for Rubio in a national election is how to handle the delicate question of "What would you do different from Trump?" Trump permits nothing that he perceives as disloyalty and he'll blast Marco without hesitation if Rubio handles the question awkwardly. However, as much as we don't like to admit it, there are a hell of a lot of centrists/right-leaners who hate Trump and don't want someone who tries to be a third term for him.

Who's a better leader, Darth Vader or Jar Jar Binks? One's a homicidal maniac fanatic, but oozes aura and power out the wazoo. The other is an embarrassing, nerdy weirdo with no aura, but arguably would be a benevolent leader.
Trump has Vader aura, it's why the younger gens voted for him versus Kamala. JFK had Vader aura vs Jar Jar Nixon. Paxton and Abbot had no aura.
Whomever has the most aura will capture the presidency in 2028. Pence and Christie have talked about running, but they have Jar Jar aura. Love Desantis, but he has to find the way to authentically add Vader aura to his brand, or he's toast, same with JD. I think Rubio is the one with the most Vader aura; the memes have helped, but has the chops to do the job.
AOC and Newsom are both vile lizard people, but do have aura. Homicidal, like Vader, but it keeps them afloat despite making every wrong choice possible.

Stock buybacks are not in themselves bad things.

At least here in Texas republican voters who voted democrat are going to get a good hard lesson on what that vote will mean to them personally. The incoming democrats have already filed 235 bills for the upcoming legislation session. 35 of the are gun control bills and a bunch of them are for die and transgender stuff to remove state laws already in place to protect us from the dei/transgender mob.
The incoming democrat governor is already prepping for her first day in office and has a slew of "emergency" price control schemes that she will sign in her first hour. She is also working on how to implement an income tax as well, it will be called something different but it will be a new tax on all of us.

Head-shaking political judgement failure in '24.
Of course it doesn't matter really, situation is desperate and any non-D in the WH is the exigent stop-gap requirement. Forget the frills and finer points. And everybody makes mistakes along the road to successes.
I have tremendous difficulty however seeing DeSantis winning MI and WI, something very distinctively if not uniquely suited to Trump's peculiar appeal (especially to non-college whites). Rubio? Marginally better but still hard to see. It's all academic if one of them can't win those two states. And we're not even talking, yet, about how GA and AZ and possibly TX are battlegrounds, not electoral votes banked before election day.

So now democrats are threatening to withhold funding for the supreme court unless they vote the "correct" way?
I guess they could do that for the military and any other branch of the government. A bit extreme but it is possible. I doubt they will do that though the backlash would be epic and they have to know that.

It may yet be but I don't think so. Does she run as part of it? Probably. Does he? They need attention from the last set of fans. They need to air their ideas and grievances on the world stage.
I suppose she could always not run and just endorse the purported front runner at the opportune time. But I would lean she runs.

The good news is, he inspired a LOT of younger kids to confidently stand for conservatism. But it will take a long while to see the fruits of his efforts, I think. Not soon enough to save us in 2028. But I hope some of those kids go on to run for office.

Every event that was deemed by the MSM as politically, economically, or socially detrimental was NOT assigned to the "government" or the "administration" was determined to be a "Trump" action. Directly. Inflation? "Trump's inflationary policy". Deficit spending? "Trump's deficit spending". The MSM personalised every act affecting the country to "Trump".

But I didn’t even know who was running for gov until I saw an early Talarico sign with her name under it in a smaller font. And over 5 million voted for her? And now we’re seeing all these counties where the votes outnumbered registered voters? And the hapless GOP will do nothing about it. Sorry for the rant, but the whole thing is sickening.

The left has been blaming Trump and us for everything from deficit spending to anal warts for decades. It might have gotten dialed up a bit this past couple years but people really need to start looking at the mechanics of the election.
Why do people think Democrat states went to war with the DOJ to prevent examination of state voter rolls? Why did a bunch of well funded NGOs spend the last couple of years registering millions of new voters often with no regard to citizenship?
The numbers are beyond obvious. Texas is a good place to look because it has traditionally been a red state during statewide elections and what happened there can't be explained by Trump being a doodoo head. It's not so much that Talarico won, it's by how much.

I hope so. That dude is a charisma black hole, but his stilettos make his ass look great
"He is a good communicator even if you disagree." I only remember clips of him acting like he is from another dimension who never had a human interaction in his life...
He looks awkward/uncomfortable trying to do retail politics. But his communication skills standing at a podium explaining policy or sitting down in an interview is actually great. There's a reason the intellectual wing of the GOP wanted him over Trump in 2022/23, but the MAGA base was still strong.
He's not a dumb guy. Neither are Rubio or Cruz. They all know legal history, have clear economic views. Only he has built a name not owed to association with Trump though.

I can well recall the first time I ever put to sea,
It was on the old "Calcutta" in eighteen fifty-three.
I was just a lad of fourteen years, a midshipman to be
To make my way in sailing ships of the Royal Navy.
By the time that I was twenty-one I'd sailed the world around,
Weathered storms in the China seas with the hatches battened down,
And made my way by starlight off the coast of Newfoundland
And dined on beer and herrings while the waves blew all around.

Well, it's Final-*something.* The Final Cut. Arguably Pink Floyd's last album. The line is from Southampton Dock, one of the few lyrically beautiful songs among the disjointed psychoanalyst-session of an album, that was completely a brain dump of Roger Waters, with the rest of the band relegated to performing as studio musicians.

No word is "derived" from an acronym. An acronym IS a word -- created by an abbreviation.
Then there's a "backronym" -- taking a word and then assigning words to fit each letter.

Screenwriter William Goldman noted that during his time as an Army draftee, he spent all of that time in a basement coming up with military acronyms. This was his JOB, it wasn't a matter of the E4 Mafia shamming.
His greatest achievement was coming up with an acronym that was longer than the phrase he was supposed to be summarizing. And getting the Army to actually adopt it.

The Morning Report — 11/13 /26
Officials decided an ancient method was the best way to decide the outcome of an election in Robertson County, Kentucky. When Republican Benny Ray Renner and Democrat Kristen Gifford Fryman tied with 91 votes each in the race for magistrate in the 2nd Magisterial District, it was up to officials to decide what to do next, KCRA reported Sunday. “Out of the 182 ballots cast, there was not a single vote that separated the two candidates once all precincts had reported their numbers back,” the outlet said. The Kentucky State Board of Elections recommended officials perform a coin flip to decide the outcome, and Fryman won...The coin used to decide the election was a quarter the sheriff had in his pocket.Well all politics is indeed "local." But to any sane person, this puerile, irresponsible madness is just indicative of how far we as a nation and society have sunk. Is it really fair to use this idiocy as a barometer for the rest of the country? After all Kentucky is the state that inflicted Tom Massie on us. In any case, given the fact that much of the country is ignorant of the tyrannical bloody history of the Democrat Party, Socialism and Islam and in places where one thought that that ignorance was not the norm nevertheless voted it into power last week. Or did they? It Was A Coup —This is the 2020 election, exactly like it... repeating identical statistical anomalies designed to engineer an artificial realignment. . .
When an election produces outcomes that run completely counter to historical precedent, polling baselines, and raw mathematical probability, the dispute ceases to be a conventional political debate and transforms into an indictment of the process itself. The case asserting that this midterm was systematically subverted rests upon four primary pillars: statistical impossibility, software and algorithmic manipulation, unauthorized cyber penetration, and administrative chain-of-custody collapse. . . If elections cannot be independently verified and guaranteed as legitimate, this one may well be the last.Given who and what will be in power come January that could very well be the case. Let's see who wins the coin toss in '28?! On a separate note the ongoing war with Iran is evidently causing a major rift in the White House.
President Donald Trump on Thursday removed Vice President JD Vance from the Iran strategy, instructing him to focus on domestic issues. I have asked Vice President Vance to focus his complete and total attention on the Massive Corruption and Crime taking place in Democrat run Cities and States throughout the U.S...),” President Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Billions of Dollars is being stolen each and every month. Our Budget could be quickly BALANCED with the correction of this large scale criminal activity.” The president rejected a negotiated deal with the Mullah regime. He asserted that the U.S. has succeeded in opening the Strait of Hormuz, removing Tehran’s sole leverage in the talks. . “We don’t need a deal with Iran,” he said. “Those days have long since passed. We’ve got their money, Hundreds of Billions of Dollars, and we’ve got their Strait!”I'm wondering if this is purely about Iran or if there are some other tensions between the two that might be indicative that President Trump will be endorsing someone other than Vance to be at the top of the ticket for 2028. Frankly, Vance has not impressed me of late which given his continued refusal to distance himself from openly anti-Israel and anti-Semitic Tuq'r Qatarlson makes him a non-starter for me. YMMV of course. We'll have to wait and see as the President himself is wont to say. On this and all the other myriad meshugas in the links I nevertheless bid you all to have a very good luck-filled Friday the 13th, triskaidekaphobia notwithstanding, then have yourselves a great weekend!

Yeah, Jesus was "sinning".

AoSHQ ought to make the prophet Habakkuk the site's Patron Saint.
Why?
Habakkuk expresses deep distress over the injustice, violence, and corruption he sees in his society, feeling that God is silent. In Habakkuk 1:2–3, he cries out, "How long, Lord, must I call for help, but you do not listen?" Later, in Habakkuk 3:16, he describes a visceral physical reaction to impending doom, saying his heart pounded, his lips quivered, and decay crept into his bones.
That fits in well with all of this post Nov 3 lamentations—but he expresses it much more colorfully.

I think I've said it here before, but I was associated with someone connected to a man willing to do the work to restore the United States and turn it into another Queen Mary. (I believe he was involved in that project) The amount of money needed at that time (2010) was already 600 million. Imagine the dollars needed now to do that renovation.
He was promised funding many times from Europe, but they always came back with objections every time he was there supposedly to be given the funds to start the project. So, he gave up on it. It cost me the possibility of having a good job working for him through my friend.
The Conservancy was always a bare bones, no money project. There was never any way they'd ever be able to do the job. They had to find backers to keep the ship in Philly. It was always a pipe dream.

Explain to me why there are Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU).
Explain why Public School Integration failed so badly when judges ruled that they alone are the sole authority on who is allowed to associate with who.
Explain why there are very clear differences in outcomes when grouped by race and ethnicity.
If you have a high trust culture that is blended in with a low trust culture, and often ethnicity is one of several strong markers as to what culture you have, how does that produce optimum outcomes?

This is interesting.
This guy is dressing how the average man did in the 1950s-early 1960s.
Very similar to how my Dad dressed when I was a very small boy. It's a good look.
Today, I suppose dressing this way would be considered cosplay, but maybe an upgrade might be in line as part of your own personal white pilling.
Admittedly, this type of wear is made more difficult by the Texas Summer.
Anyway, enjoy!

Grok says the earliest explicit record of the concept is from John Cassian (c. 360-435).
In the Institutes, Book IX (“Of the Spirit of Dejection”
, written around 420–430, Cassian distinguishes a harmful form of dejection that produces “the most destructive despair.” He explicitly names the biblical examples:
There is… another still more objectionable sort of dejection, which produces in the guilty soul no amendment of life or correction of faults, but the most destructive despair: which did not make Cain repent after the murder of his brother, or Judas, after the betrayal, hasten to relieve himself by making amends, but drove him to hang himself in despair.
He contrasts this with “godly sorrow” that leads to repentance (citing 2 Cor 7:10).

A retired friend of mine told me that a friend of his, who currently works for an oil company, told him that everyone received an email this week stating something to the effect of “the new administration will be hostile to o&g, so we’re going to have to be more efficient”. Not the exact words but to that effect. In my career in o&g, I worked under two Dem govs, Mark White and Ann Richards. I don’t remember a “hostile environment”.

Hippies who hate data centers have little to do with the insane frenzy around AI valuations.
When Musk can IPO SpaceX claiming a $25T TAM for its AI products and have people believe that fantasy, that speaks to completely irrational behavior on the part of investors, from the retail side all the way up to the C-Suites at major institutions.
A bunch of elderly Communists and Party hacks don't have the juice to influence a market like that one way or another. It requires the madness of actual crowds.

I've been saying since the election results came in if you look at the numbers the results are impossible. Not improbable, impossible.
There was no giant blue wave. Democrats were even less popular than Republicans and there was no national outrage against the right any greater than any normal election period.
Iran wasn't Vietnam and gas prices weren't anything like they were under Biden let alone the days of rationing. Which is why Republican turnout was pretty normal.
Democrat states sued the DOJ to prevent turning over voter rolls. We saw it clearly in CA were the DOJ found 20,000 non-citizens on voter rolls just in a partial look of LA. Democrat funded NGOs spent years registering voters in areas that did not require proof of citizenship and we got swamped once again with ridiculous numbers of early and mail in ballots votes.

The entire country practically turned blue with all these New Democrat governors in red states. In 2028 the Senate will be starting out with 56 Democrat senators and will be impossible for a Republican president to get his cabinet confirmed or get anything done. Plus in 2028 we will have 18 senate seats to defend. Good luck with that.

The Country did not turn blue, those who wanted the throw the bums out turned out to vote, and voted against the bums. Lots of shitty candidates too. The chain broke. You will not convince me that if 48%-49% votes, it is representative of the whole country. Candidates matter, message and campaigning matters. The only one campaigning in 2026 was Trump. Obama won after losing Congeress with - 60 seats in the House and 12 seats in the Senate (6 in 2010, 9 in 2014).

I would imagine the administration would continue to do what they're doing regardless. Trump's got nothing to lose anyway.
And, if they're on the ball, they'll fortify things so if a potential (D) administration gets in... they'll have to spend time unwinding all that.

In 2022 Cruz got 4.4 million votes. His opponent, Paul Sadler got 3.2 million votes.
In 2026 Paxton got 4.4 million votes. His opponent, James Talarico got 5.4 million votes.
That's a slightly bigger margin than 10% gain for the Democrat and 0% loss for the Republican.
In fact, the only politician to ever get more votes in a Texas statewide race was Donald Trump.

A 30 VOTE SHIFT PUTS RURAL PENNSYLVANIA HOUSE RACE IN THE SPOTLIGHT
A closely watched election contest in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, has become one of the state's most competitive political stories.
Democratic challenger Brad Chambers moved ahead of Republican incumbent Brett Miller by just 30 votes in the 41st State House District after additional provisional ballots were counted on November 6.
The district has traditionally been represented by Republicans, making the narrow shift especially significant. Chambers, a 35 year old labor administrator, has focused his campaign on working families, affordable housing, healthcare, and the cost of living.
Chambers declared victory, but the race has not been officially called. Seven provisional ballots have been challenged, and 14 additional military and overseas ballots may still arrive before the deadline. ...

Current Banking committee Chairman Tim Scott (R-SC) has already summoned Jensen Huang to testify on Dec. 3rd and Howard Lutnick on Dec. 10th.
Democrats have the Senate. When the new Congress convenes in January, Coons (as incoming Chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee) and Warren (as incoming chair of the Senate Banking committee) will hold subpoena power to compel documents and testimony. They have already given the administration officials a Nov. 17th deadline to confirm that all Nvidia-related records are preserved.
>See CNBC's interview Nov. 13th, today, with US Senator Chris Coons. (Ugh.)
And also, the second "Squawk Box" interview with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to discuss the state of the U.S. economy, trade with China and more, this morning.
However, re: present matters, reportedly September 2024, (Biden's) US Commerce's Bureau of Industry & Security opened an investigation into Megaspeed where Alice Huang was a top executive.
As intelligence & surveillance efforts continued in the 2nd Trump administration, US agencies concluded Huang was a Chinese intel asset & uncovered her personal relationship with Jensen Huang.

And notice what the argument is about: wages and grocery prices, not ideology. Sanders endorsing the challenger is the tell. The faction that wins that fight will be the one that can talk about the price of things without sounding like a press release, and that is a harder problem for Republicans than another round of fraud claims, because it is the one argument that doesn't require anyone to believe the other side stole something.

Daily Tech News 13 November 2026
Top Story
- Jensen Huang, CEO and chairman of the worlds largest company (by market capitalisation), is now neither. (Tom's Hardware)
He had an affair - confirmed - with a Chinese spy - alleged - and also affairs - alleged - with two employees at Nvidia - confirmed.
He has been CEO since the company was founded - by him - in 1993, so there isn't exactly a carefully thought-out succession plan in place.
- Will he move on to run Terafab? (Tom's Hardware)
Maybe.
- Will Tim Apple take Jensen Nvidia's place? (Tom's Hardware)
Less likely.

I've never been involved with Infrastructure to scale Microsoft operates at so it's pretty impossible for me to draw informed speculation about what happened. I do know they build in lots of redundancy and automatic failovers so something catastrophic like this is contained. It appears none of that happened which is why I'm puzzled here. Further, they seem unable to sort out what's going on; that may be the result of the complexity of the systems, which means it'll take a bit more time to sort out. Also, getting these computers back online and functioning safely and reliably, that that doesn't happen quickly. Put all this together and it's a head scratcher.

We wouldn't notice much of a galactic collision at our little scale.
From the large scale, it looks dramatic, two clumps of stars slamming into each other. At the stellar scale, it's like two big swarms of bees merging into each other. Chances are very low any two bees would bump into each other.
It would make for a very spectacular view in the night sky some 4 billion years in the future. You'd see that spiral of Andromeda looming large in the night sky.

From the inscrutable Microsoft communications about all this it sort of seems they had a perfect storm of internal failures which could include a rogue update, hardware failures, bad diagnostics, and so on. What I keep getting stuck on is it seems all the redundancy and failover went South too, that's not supposed to happen and it's not because Microsoft doesn't know how to engineer, implement, and run massive compute infrastructures. Sometimes bad things just happen at scale.

My hunch is that we're just barely beginning to scrape at gathering the observations we'll need later on to develop the next layer of our mental model of how the universe is built below (above?) what we have now. Talking about a photon being created and then zipping through the cosmos, and it went so many meters in so many seconds... and we make educated guesses at how far away and how long based on all sorts of things. But we know that's already a bit gnarly because "meters" and "seconds" aren't invariant. I really think there's more to it that we haven't even conceptualized yet, something that does for relativity what relativity did for classical mechanics. Not an invalidation, but an expansion of our understanding of just how weird this universe is.

About the Great Attractor (also know as the Stacey Abrams). I'm too lazy to look up the exact figures -- it involves our peculiar velocity as well as the relative velocity between us and Stacey, but it's somewhere over 1 million mph. We're all falling toward that pretty fast.
But, the Hubble flow, the expansion of the universe will easily overcome that. We're falling toward it, but we'll never get there.
And as things look, that's the long term fate, tens and tens, hundreds of billions of year. Isolation for everything. Our local group, or what becomes of it will hold together for a while, but at some point, each galaxy will be a lone island in nothingness. Everything else expanded away beyond the local cosmological horizon.
In that far future, any sentient beings that might develop then would have no clue they were once part of this thing we call a universe. They'd have no idea just how big it was, living in a long isolated island of stars in nothingness.

In that far future, all the information about the universe will be gone from view. But how about going the other way. Was there something observable a few billion years ago that might have shed more light on just what happened, what's going on that we can't see now?

2. It's still a mystery and they're in the position of trying to do an autopsy on a corpse while also trying to bring it back to life. If they had a couple days to just do forensics, and then bring it back up when it's found and fixed, that would avoid a lot of stress but instead they have a service down that is supposed to deliver 99.999% uptime. Every passing minute is a growing deficit to revenues in remediation, and there is still the chance they lose the customer entirely.

Just imagine someone stretching a rubber sheet...the stuff on the sheet doesn't change size, but the distance from other stuff on the sheet grows. Space is expanding, and the gravitational force (or the bend in space-time) isn't enough to overcome the stretching over very large distances, but under smaller distances the expansion isn't enough to overcome the gravity wells.

The "expansion of space" is really just a coordinate picture. This is General Relativity. This is well, complicated, and I only know enough about it to be really, really dangerous. We never got into that at the undergraduate level, but in my "continuing self-education" over about, well, 30 years now, I've got a dim understanding. To appreciate it, it will take a while to get your mind into the mindset it requires.
You can coordinatize the spacetime that is our universe in other ways, and it's perfectly valid to think of stuff as just flying apart in space (almost).....

The standard coordinates used for this are the co-moving FLRW coordinates. This is a"foliation" of the spacetime around a "geodesic congruence" of observers which represent the world lines of individual particles of matter making up the universe. It's a big picture type of thing. At the local level, local gravity modifies things.
It has many advantages, including a consistent notion of "cosmological time" and simultaneity for the universe. This is the proper time of each co-mover since the beginning, t = 0, the Big Bang. In these coordinates, the universe look homogenous and isotropic.
But again, while it has these nice properties, it's still just one of many ways to coordinatize. It's a preferred frame in a sense, but still arbitrary. Cosmologists tend to sort of forget that and treat this coordinate picture as something "real" and invariant.
It's not.

Subsequent to this vid being made "they" came up with a way to explain it away. Something like 'galaxies are getting smaller the further away they are.'
Kind of like when the first images came back. 'Galaxies must have started forming much earlier than we thought.'

I suppose I should to try to make sense of just what a "foliation" is. Consider a 2D flat plane. It has an invariant geometry. But we can coordinatize it in different ways.
Simplest is a an x-y Cartesian grid. We have a family of mutually perpendicular straight line. Or, we can do it with polar coordinates. We have a family of concentric circles intersected by rays from the origin. And we could do all sorts of crazy other curvilinear coordinates.
Those are different foliations of the invariant geometry of the plane. Now, you do that with a 4-D spacetime.

Galaxies will pretty much hold together. Local groups will as well, and maybe some compact clusters.
There are other possibilities, not likely, but have been considered. See the "Big Rip" for instance. Scale factor would blow up in finite cosmic time, and even atoms would be ripped apart.
That's not likely at all, just a theoretical musing, really.

Well, it's like this. Henry Paget, Earl of Uxbridge, had a long-term affair with the wife of Lord Wellington's brother. Consequently, he was never assigned to the Peninsula, though he was an excellent cavalry commander, to spare Wellington's feelings. During the Waterloo Campaign, Wellington specifically requested Uxbridge to command the cavalry. He some demurral and asked why. The response was, "Well...he runs off with people, you know." Wellington replied, "I'll take good care he don't run off with me. I don't care about anyone else."

The geometry of spacetime is one thing, and the field equations of General Relativity are all about that. However, the topology is another thing entirely. We have no idea what that could be.
Topology is ultimately the master of it all, the supreme law of the land. It gives broad freedom to the geometry, but places certain general constraints.
That's something I've only lately come to really appreciate. A cube, a sphere, an oblate spheroid, any regular polyhedron is topologically a sphere.
A donut or a coffee mug is not. It's something else, a torus.

Fraud is fraud, especially if they're profiting off it by getting ad revenue from their site that hosts it or youtube or whatever.
If I walk up to a stranger and start talking to them, there's no "freedom of speech" protection for us when my buddy lifts his wallet while i'm distracting him. If I call up an old lady and trick her into giving me her personal info and passwords so I can bilk her out of her savings, I can't claim that's protected by "free speech" because we was just talkin'.
The speech itself is irrelevant, free or otherwise. Of course, that's not "law", just my opinion on the matter. But it kind of makes sense.
If these people aren't making a cent from it, and just being creepy weirdos, then it probably still falls under some kind of law or another if you have a good enough lawyer. Trademark infringement. False representation. Abuse of a corpse? Who knows.

To the Left, hypocrisy is a tool not a vice.
There is an understood homeostasis of power in this New World Order. It is not permissible to have a global hegemony. After WW2, while the rest of the industrialized world was smoldering rubble, there had to be The Other, so the USSR was given all kinds of tech, money and knowhow, while the West agreed to self-limit (e.g. SALT treaties).
Providing China $7.5B in µProcessors is in the same steps as regulating, writing very favorable treaties and funding Chinese industrial and military expansion by the West. Cripple the West, (e.g. Global Warming, DEI, etc) build The Other.
China has a massive debt problem and is failing, therefore it is necessary to cripple the US even more to prevent the Global Hegemony

It's a lot easier just to use a webhost account for email, for sure.
My company used to do that. Worked fine for them for twenty years. Then one day about 5 years ago, somebody downloaded a link from an email they shouldn't have and the next thing they knew somebody was holding the entire network and all the data for ransom. They didn't pay and got nuked, but they had backups for most stuff, so it wasn't a complete disaster.
Now, after a hard lesson, they've got as much security as a bank.
Outloook, Cloudflare, backups of backups.
We wouldn't need any of this crap if we weren't living in a world filled with thieves and gangs of thieves IRL and online.

Then, he's exactly the right interim choice. The board apparently is incompetent, just recently learning Huang had sixty direct reports. Sixty! As I said yesterday, that's not an org chart, that's an audience. And hte guy travels basically every day. How the hell is he "managing" sixty people. Answer: he isn't.
Also, the board never demanded a succession plan. The world's largest company by valuation had no fricking clue who would come next if Jensen got hit by a truck. It's amazing.
Tim Cook is exactly who Nvidia needs, or at least someone like him, a competent manager with industry status and trust.

To be clear: this is speculation. Microsoft hasn't confirmed a root cause. It's my read of their own updates, from 35 years of building and breaking systems.
What Microsoft has actually said:
• Traffic isn't up. Capacity is down. Servers are failing health checks and dropping out.
• A process that establishes secure connections gets overwhelmed, and servers stop processing requests.
• Servers they bring back fall over again as soon as traffic hits them.
• They're reverting a network config change that lines up with when it started. But changes aren't syncing, and some machines are stuck in a bad state.
• No indication of an attack.

Howdy Hordelings, and welcome to the Thursday ONT! Open thread, as always. On time, as always. What's on YOUR mind tonight?
Thoughts and prayers for Lebron James - he may have suffered a life threatening and career ending injury.
LeBron suffers scary injury at end of game 🙏🙏🙏🙏 https://t.co/3vujQ57QVA
— MD (@mike_daddino) November 11, 2026
One of the sports world's brightest stars suffered a significant health scare on Tuesday night, as LeBron James was forced to press his Life Alert button after falling during a game. Midway through the fourth quarter of the Philadelphia 76ers' 123-10 loss to the Boston Celtics, James fell to the floor, bringing the game to a halt and filling the crowd at the Xfinity Mobile Arena with hushed silence before pressing his Life Alert button to notify first responders that he was in need of assistance. "Help! I've fallen, and I can't get up!" James was heard shouting as he writhed in pain on the hardwood. *** James was taken off the court on a stretcher and was said to be resting more comfortably in the locker room with a warm blanket and a glass of Metamucil.*** Compare and contrast with the greatest goal scorer in NHL history taking a puck to the face while on the bench during Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final in 2018
Smooth segue here - sports books can be asshoe 24 year old wins $800K, Caesars refuses to pay
This 24 year old guy figured out how to beat a casino and won $800,000 The casino refused to pay him and gave him back just $50,000 and when he complained to gambling regulators, they sided with the casino. His name is Thomas McPeek, he’s from Chicago who still lives with his parents. Early 2024 - spends months reading sports betting booksFull story and video segment at the link -----
- studies football parlays
- discovers Caesars is offering odds he believes are mathematically mispriced He realizes he might have found a way to beat the house. *** McPeek returns to Horseshoe to collect his money. But Caesars has other plans. The casino voids his winning tickets, accusing him of coordinating bets across state lines and splitting his wagers into smaller amounts to circumvent its rules. Instead of paying his winnings, Caesars returns his original $50,000.

Answering the difficult questions Why Is Sugar Sold In Paper Bags?
We’re all used to grabbing bags of sugar and flour at the grocery store without much thought, but is there a reason why sugar is sold in paper bags? Plenty of dry goods come in boxes, plastic bags, or more sturdy containers, so why isn’t sugar better protected against moisture and tearing? While it may not seem like great packaging when you bring home a bag on a rainy day, or when a torn corner leaves a mess of sugar in your pantry, there are actually some practical reasons why sugar is packaged in paper bags, including cost and ease. Here’s what to know once you bring your sugar home.Think you know? Check your answer at the link. But wait - there's more!

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is quite a joke. They finally corrected a horrible error of omission this year with the upcoming induction of Iron Maiden. Several other acts will be inducted as part of this year's class on Saturday. Maiden won't be attending (good for them!), neither will 2 other acts. Three Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Inductees To Skip Saturday’s Ceremony
The Rock Hall announced 17 finalists for this year’s class in February and named the eight inductees in February, which include Phil Collins, Billy Idol, Iron Maiden, Joy Division/New Order, Oasis, Sade, Wu-Tang Clan and posthumously, Luther Vandross. The Black Crowes, Jeff Buckley, Mariah Carey, Melissa Etheridge, Lauryn Hill, INXS, New Edition and Shakira missed the cut for the 2026 class. *** Iron Maiden announced in April that they would not attend, while Rolling Stone confirmed that Oasis brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher will also miss the ceremony. Noel Gallagher is playing a solo show in London, and Liam Gallagher cited travel distance and other commitments. Additionally, the British band Sade announced on Tuesday that they will not attend in person, though singer Sade Adu shared a statement expressing gratitude for the recognition.Holding out some hope for INXS to make it next year -----
Bookmark this for next year's road-trip season This 1,300-mile Highway Has Been Dubbed ‘America’s Most Scenic Road Trip’—and It Links 7 National Parks
Near the spine of the United States’ Continental Divide, there’s a highway that goes by many names—it’s been dubbed “America’s Most Scenic Road Trip” and the “National Park Highway.” Both are understandable monikers—after all, the route passes by no fewer than seven national parks, and an assortment of national monuments and forests. But avid road-trippers might recognize this drive better by its official name: U.S. Route 89. Officially stretching from Flagstaff, Arizona, to the border with Canada (not counting an older, decommissioned leg that runs from the Mexican border in Nogales to Flagstaff), Route 89 sprawls across roughly 1,300 miles. Add that historic section and a couple of alternative routes, and you’re looking at an almost 2,000-mile road trip. Along the way, you’ll pass a veritable laundry list of America’s most popular national parks, including Grand Canyon, Zion, and Yellowstone, all within a two-hour detour of the highway. Though all those national parks are the main attraction, a drive down Route 89 has much more in store. “People gravitate to the seven national parks along the route, but the national monuments and state parks should not be overlooked,” says Vicky Derksen, the owner of USRoute89.com, a digital resource on all things Route 89. She also notes that “U.S. Route 89 is a stargazer’s paradise, with about three dozen Dark Sky Places that are certified by DarkSky International. Having access to gorgeous night skies is a treasure.”

We're really in for a rough ride. My only consolation is that as an amateur historian, I realize this is par for the course for most of human history.
BUT: the Digital Overlords really do look like the first plausible crack at installing the Beast System. It's getting frighteningly close to being technically possible for the first time in history.
Go analogue, folks, and keep your physical books.

Kali schools used to have milk in cartons...near the end of my kids' time in pubic screwal, the milk came in plastic bags that were pierced by plastic straws...didn't always work out so well, but saved money in packaging, which was ironic given Kalifornia's hate of allowing plastic for bags and straws...

Its cute that Sade made the cut, whereas INXS still hasn't.
If you offered to pay random "people on the street" $10 for every song they could name for an artist, there would be...some...payout for Phil Collins. But despite selling more records than Billy Idol, I bet there would be more payout for Billy Idol. Billy didn't have MORE songs that went to number 1...but his songs made an *impact* on people.
Iron Maiden and Oasis would have several "people on the street" getting multiple $10 bills. They connected with their audience.
Joy Division/New Order is window dressing. I could offer to fund this project for the 1st 100 people asked and I'd probably hand out very few $10 bills for them. INXS is clearly more deserving.
And Sade would get SWAMPED by INXS. But Sade is in the Hall of Fame, and INXS isn't yet.You can figure out why. I dated a busty brunette 20 years ago who liked to (privately, only) strip to "Smooth Operator", and I occasionally heard some of the other songs on that album. But do any of you *really* know, without using google, any other song Sade recorded?

Yes. But, conformant with the article, I’ve found that it is fine to store white sugar directly in the canister; but brown sugar I need to store wrapped in both its original plastic and in a zip-loc bag around it, or it hardens like a rock.
BTW, people interested in old cookbooks or World War I may find my post yesterday (see link in nic) interesting: a “Patriotic Cook Book” for saving food for the war effort, from D & L Slade’s.
I have eaten a bale
Of spinach and kale,
And I’ve never raised a row.

And feel like a brindle cow.

And I’m glad, you bet,
At last to get

Chubby Checke did bot attend his induction last year, (after actively protesting his exclusion previously) and the Sex Pistols, rather than attending, sent a letter stating thst they did not authorize anyone to induct them.
Half of New Order won't be there this year either-- Peter Hook is currently feeding with the other members, and drummer Steven Morris and his wife, keyboardist Gillian Gilbert, are having health issues.

Really liked the song, Bayou Woman, by Tony Joe White.
Had never heard that song before. I like the blues at times (I mean, I have to with my blues dude guitarist). Sometimes I tell him in the car I don't like something and am not in the mood and he flips to something else.
He knows I detest The Who. He'll say, "You just don't like Roger Daltrey." I say whatevah.
He knows I also don't like certain words like hue, extrude, onus and others and will sometimes find a way to insert these stupid words into conversations to irritate me or see what I say. There are times he makes up sentences with all the words I hate to bait me.
I lead a difficult life.
Saw this video last night...trippy.

Well, I have a sweet tooth, so it definitely doesn’t stay more than a few months. But it does last a lot longer in the tin double wrapped (or semi-double wrapped, since the original package is not really sealed).
Before I started double-wrapping, I would even try putting it in the blender to unrockify it, and all that does is make a small amount of powdered brown sugar and a lot of noise. Most of the rockified brown sugar remains intact.

Oxo containers probably make for a better seal than tin canisters. And if it’s one of the oxos with a button to remove air after sealing, I’d guess that will be pretty much the same or better than zip-loc.

I was once so enraged after a FSU/Dook game (FSU won) I emailed the UF fan man sports guy at the Orlando Sentinel.
I mocked JJ Reddick like a chimp on meth. He & Coach K whined about the fans.
Called him a fainting goat as he, I know you will not believe this horror, was TOUCHED by a FSU fan who rushed the court when they won.
Big deal, they were happy & no one was going to fool with that pencil neck. Said he acted like Prissy in Gone With the Wind when Scarlett slapped her.
I don't remember the entire email but he wrote back wanting to publish it in his column. I asked if I could have a fake name & he said no and I said sorry, I cannot because of sons and our rare last name.
Sons want to murder me half the time anyway, and the last thing they needed was this in college.
It was bad enough when I was mad at O'Reilly and wrote him a harsh email that hurt his ego. He said my name correctly as I was grading RN papers and pronounced our beach town correctly, too. I had immediate calls as to wth did you say??? We taped the 11pm show and my father laughed his head off.

Have mentioned before, but read that the decision to keep/tow her vs scuttle her after extracting all useful stuff/info went all the way up to the CNO, Adm. King. Why? June 4, 1944. Fear was that if another U-boat off West Africa saw her in tow, they'd notify Kiel and there'd be a change in the rotor settings/etc on the Enigma machines. The day before D-Day. Not good.
Kindltot that's amazing some Enigma machines were for sale. Out of a private collection? There were lots produced but never considered there'd be some in private hands.

After my wife passed, I was going through some old boxes, and a packet of Capri Sun Grape flavor was there...the juice had turned black and viscous, and the label was partially covered and instead said "Rape" instead of "Grape"...I think it was from around 2010...

The Brits call this "caster sugar" and it is used in pastries and sweets that require a fast dissolve. I don't know if it would substitute for powdered sugar since there is no corn starch to gel things up. Without the gelling, things like frosting are just a glaze.

They are hardly top secret anymore, and collectors love them. This one was purty, and not worn at all. It clearly was one of the office versions, not the ones in the front.
Did you know the Italian Navy had its own version, and the German navy had their own design with the special double rotor that was supposed to make it even more unbreakable?

!!! Leared something tonight at AOS Acadimmy! Thanks!
If I EVER get done in a room upstairs (unwrapped Christmas gifts, mostly for our grands, clothes, etc SCREAM HERE), I am attacking the walk-in pantry. Undoing the stupid plastic and glass cannisters for a lot of it, trying to be fancy. Flour will stay in paper. Sugar will stay in glass. Beans will stay in bags (we don't have bugs here). There will be cans! Then when we run low in the storage room we restock. It's as simple as that. I need some to drink some coffee with whiskey for this day of the pantry.
It stayed nice about 6mo then went messy and stayed this way for two years.
If there's a door and a mess I close it! Done! For the gift room upstairs and little people are visiting I lock that door.
If I ever get my normal back and Mama settled and off this roller coaster for a week I'll wrap the gifts like Martha Stewart tells me to.

An unnamed Nvidia employee is the latest. She was a subordinate who reported directly to Huang, making her the second Nvidia employee linked to him, per Reuters. Her identity has not been disclosed.
Kimberly Powell, Nvidia's Vice President of Healthcare, is alleged to have had an extramarital relationship with Huang.
Alice Huang, a Singapore tech executive with no relation to him, was suspected by U.S. intelligence officials of operating as a Chinese intelligence asset.
An independent investigation is underway.

I had three blind dates in college because the dorm girls were worried that I was not dating. By choice. I was perfectly fine with staying home with a book or watching tv vs wrestling with boys.
One was a poor scrawny dood who was too scared to talk to me. I was thankful. We went to a bar and played pool. Late for dorm check in, four in the front of a speeding pickup with friend's ick bf, I remember praying, "Lord, please don't let me die with this goober."
Another one I don't want to think about.
Then this guy who was pretty cute and I dated for a whopping six times one summer til he proposed. Have mentioned him before, and I hope he doesn't read here. Nicknamed, "Pecker" for his auburn hair. I thought nothing of this (supposedly for woodpecker).
My refined Southern mother was horrified. Said, "I can't call him that! What is his name?" I asked.
I want y'all to know she never explained why she was horrified and I never knew for years what the deal was (in every way, you filthy minded Morons).

I know that they released Louis Louis before the Kingsmen, but the latter version overshadowed their effort. Paul was drafted and the group went through a few personnel changes after he returned, finally scoring a hit with Kicks in 1966..

Coincidentally the Kingsman also recorded Louie Louie at the same studio in April 1963. This is version most people think of when it comes to the song.
For years, at least into the late 1990s, the building that housed northwestern recorders, had a plaque on the outside commemorating the recording of this song.
I grew up in Seattle around that time and I distinctly remember listening to the Raiders version of it hence my bias. Paul Revere and the Raiders forever!

Damned phones indeed. My stupid Motorola Android gave me a fit and I was about to shoot the thing. I despise smart phones, and the whole ecosystem about them. "They" want to control everything. Somehow, with some update, the little clock thingy on the home screen changed to some stupid shit that added this crap with "news" (celebrity) shit, and the ultimate outrage, a horoscope. That will not stand with me.
In trying to get rid of it (the whole settings and shit is apparently written for utter idiots -- I boggle at the mentality of people for whom such makes sense), something screwed up and it wouldn't load back.
I had to clear all the data for some main "launcher" program to get it back, which meant I lost all my screen icons.....

It's a waxing crescent. The Moon goes around the Erf faster than anything else, Sun included (from a geocentric reference frame -- it makes things easier to visualize -- the Sun "orbits the earth"), so it laps the sun.
When you see a crescent moon on the evening side to the west after sunset, you know it's waxing. At full Moon, it's roughly opposite the sun, so rises roughly at sunset and sets at sunrise. When you see a crescent to the east before sunrise, you know it's waning.

They were a great group and had a lot of good musicians coming and going. Ironically, they're only number 1 hit, Cherokee Reservation was technically not a PR&R song. It was written and recorded by Mark Lindsey, an occasional member who gave the song to Paul. The track included no actual band members, but featured Hal Blaine on drums and Carol Kaye on bass.

Looking up the etymology, "gibbous" comes from the Latin, meaning "swollen" or "humpback".

Elon is going to try a double catch, both the booster and then catch Ship itself on return from orbit.
That latter will be quite the feat. If I were in mission control for that, my pucker factor would be quite, despite what I read about the safety systems and all that. You've got the giant hunk of metal that's going to be coming back down, hypersonic speeds, and must pass over land and then get right close to Starbase there, and then maneuver itself right into the waiting arms of the tower.

Moore's medals are not an aberration. Officers get medals for all sorts of shit. I wouldn't be surprised to hear that a general got one for wiping his own ass.
Let me tell you a story. My comm site had to do some major upgrades involving new equipment, moving units around and a lot of rewiring. We got drawings from on high which were little more than block diagrams. Me (lowly E4) and the SFC NCOIC planned it out,, he ordered the parts,, and I supervised, scheduled the guys on their regular work and this stuff and did about half the work myself. We got it done right and on schedule. Upshot: the Sargeant got an official Letter of Commedation, and the OIC, who wouldn't know an electron if it bit him on the ass, got the Army Commendation Medal for, essentially, signing the parts request the Sargeant put on his desk.
Moore got medals for doing nothing? Big surprise.

The trajectory profile looks something like this. They'll launch on a southerly azimuth, putting the descending node of the orbit over Texas (well, close to it). Now, if they came back in, that would be the reentry flight path right over the western US. Not something you want to do.
So, they have to wait a while and let the Erf rotate enough under that orbit, so the Texas side is roughly under the ascending node. This puts the reentry path arcing up from the Pacific. It will still have to cross over Mexico.
It will aim for the Gulf a little to the east of Starbase. If anything goes wrong, splashdown will be there. At the last minute, only if everything looks good, will they initiate the steering maneuvers to put the thing over the tower at Starbase.
At that last minute, if anything still goes wrong, it will be better to just let it crash rather than try to blow it up over land. Less damage will be done. That last chance to blow it up happens a good bit earlier, I think. At some point the risk to life and property on the ground below is greater with blowing the vehicle up than just letting it crash.
And that's why my pucker factor would be so high.

They've even narrowed the origin of that rock down to 13 possible zones in the southern highlands of Mars. That blows me away, but that's how precise they know the composition.
And yeah, that would be awesome to find earth meteorites on Mars. That would require a big human presence. Or a fleet of robots.

I would love to see just what's buried under the sand there from the last Green Sahara period which started about 14,000 years ago, 2K years before the Younger Dryas. It ended about 6K years ago.
It was green and lush, with rivers and flora and fauna of all sorts. There are ancient petroglyphs found with depictions of those animals.

The Green Sahara tracks with Milankovitch cycles, specifically where perihelion lies relative to the seasons. When perihelion precesses into Northern summer, that's when it happens.
Other cycles can modulate it. IIRC, it missed the last one or two cycles before the last one because of the ice age maximum. But before that, there were some big Green ones.

I can't tell you the exact details -- way beyond my knowledge, but that's how well they know the composition. Isotope ratios and other such signatures tell a hell of a lot, if you know the score.
Many details of the history of the solar system are recorded in the earth, planets, and all the space rocks and comets out there. You just have to figure out how to find it, and what tells you what.
Not only do they know it's from Mars, but they know it came from 13 possible fairly narrow regions of the Southern hemisphere of Mars, even.

Every body in the solar system has unique isotope ratios of various elements. And this is due to the dynamics of the formation of the solar system from the original gas cloud.
When a big impact knows chunks of Mars off, some of the atmospheric gases get trapped inside the chunks. That tells a lot.
And, thanks to the Viking landers on up to the rovers, and orbiters mapping the surface in detail, they have much, much data on the detailed composition and variation of it on Mars.

My Lord, the crap they've figured out recently. I was reading stuff on the chemical composition of the solar system. Thanks to tons of data from the GAIA survey, which maps the paths of stars all around it, it's possible to find "twins" of the Sun. Stars that very, very close in chemical composition, see where they are and how they moved.
So, long story short. They now believe the Sun formed about 10K ly closer to the center of the Milky Way than it is now, and migrated outward over it's 4.5 billion year life up till now.
Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at November 13, 2026 03:21 AM (w6EFb)
So, we can say the Sun was born in the city and moved out to the suburbs as it grew up. And that is very lucky for us. Life as we know it here likely wouldn't be possible that close the center of the Galaxy. Too much radiation and too close stellar neighbors. Just two violent a place for life here as we know it. Or so the odds are.

This is Big Data meets astrophysics. The GAIA mission catalogued about 2 billion stars (or objects, maybe would be better to say). This includes all the spectroscopy and all that.
Well, out of that database they found about 6500 stars are almost identical in chemical composition to the Sun. Sort of like a DNA signature identifying some close relatives.
And all those close relatives had to come from the same "gas" regions of the Milky Way, about 16,000 light years from the center.
Many details of cosmic history are recorded. You've just got to have the tech and knowledge to find it.
Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at November 13, 2026 03:31 AM (w6EFb)

What if that particular signature indicated an exogalactic origin? If a certain small population of stars all have the same spectrum, but that isn't much like anything else on our galactic map, perhaps the early galaxy gobbled up a passing nebula that never got to be a galaxy of its own? Kind of like a metorite in the Sahara, but gassy.
Posted by: Warai-otoko at November 13, 2026 03:38 AM (aKiSo)
That's a good question. I don't think there is a good one. "Helio-something" would likely be the way to go, I think. The Sun's sphere of influence, which includes solar wind, magnetic field and all that is the heliosphere. But the solar system as we know it is just a part of that.

There are example this, different classes in fact. Look up "Sagittarius dwarf". That is a little satellite galaxy that is in the process of colliding and merging with us. In fact, it may have already passed through the disc several times, but there is some disagreement over this still.

Perhaps every galaxy has a companion "dwarf galaxy", but we can only see ours because it's so close and everyone else's gets washed out in the signal. Maybe some types of galaxy do and some don't, and that gives us information about the early formation of it. Maybe spiral galaxies all naturally have a semi-chaotic mess of junk floating around them and we just can't see it yet with the detectors we have.
No idea, just spitballing.

Scorpions glow under UV light. There is no bug affects me, badly, like scorpions. Even those itty bitty ones that look like an eyelash - when I realize what I'm looking at, goosh! That one with all the babies - aaagggh! 😱
Over sixty years later, I still vividly remember my arm going numb from a scorpion sting. Dad always taught us to kick over a rock before throwing one in the lake. I forgot just one time. Never after.

Imagine lots of Microsoft's big computers (servers) that handle email, Teams and other tools keep falling asleep or freezing the moment people start using them. Engineers woke some up, but they freeze again under normal work, so now they're carefully limiting who can use them and rebuilding some with older settings to find the fix.

They date back to the IV century BCE and they are also called the Tombs of the Kings as they were originally built for the ancient Lycian kings.
Omar Ilini whatever her name, reading this:
"Long before World War Eleven, these tombs in Turkey, built by islamic engineers, date back to the Intravenous century Before Currency Extortion....and originally built for the ancient Lying kings of taqiyya. inshalla"
If the GOP wrote any bills or did, hell, ANYTHING, in cursive and with Roman numbers, how many interns would it take to figure it out?
The tombs are very cool. How do you get in there? A hole on the top of the mountain and drop the dead in with a thud on top of others? With ladders for the living?
How did they get built? Slaves roped to the top of the mountiain with chisels? Electric beavers?

There's also always the underlying calculation they have to make: will the US and Israel finally finish off these nutcases in Tehran, or do we have to go back to our very tense frenemy situation with a now-unleashed/p'od mullah regime. UAE seems to have made its decision, other three not so much. Oman under their new-ish leadership surprisingly bold, but clearly also loathe to become a fixed enemy of the mullahs. All pretty rational with the regional history.
Anyway all this makes delay attractive to most of them. Meanwhile the blockade and financial squeeze seem to be working very well, so Washington is content to wait. Time is not on Tehran's side. Trump seems to have decided to lead and not politic and pander to a clueless public, which means trouble for Iran's regime.

There was an article linked in the tech thread here about a year ago that was an insider's account of Microsoft. According to the author, a culture of incompetence has taken over the company, institutional memory and continuity are disappearing, and basic functions of developing and maintaining their software products is increasingly beyond the company's ability. If the author can be believed, Microsoft is finished, and are largely faking their way through the appearance they present to the public.

The Maryland Democrat said he is “answering the call of the American people” as grassroots progressives and some newly elected senators call for change in leadership.
In part, "Democratic senators will hold a vote in December to choose their leadership for the next Congress. That vote is held behind closed doors and requires a simple majority of the caucus."
"Van Hollen plans to run on having the new Democratic majority use every available tool to end the Iran war, starting with the upcoming government funding measure to avoid a December shutdown, according to his team. He’s also proposing to reverse President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful bill,” get money out of politics and tackle corruption."

BRICS best use would have been as a payment and debt clearance system to sidestep SWIFT (which Obama decided to use as a weapon by excluding countries like Russia he thought were a threat), and they even came out with BRICS card prefiguring the payment system for the member nations. The problem, I think, is that the only member with actual collateral to back the system was Russia, and they are busy right now, as is Iran who had its collateral tied up in Turkish banks to evade the embargoes, and currently the UAE is getting rocketed by Iran, so that unified front is a bit curdled.

Quick Hits
A man committed a truly demonic act -- he buried his infant son alive, inside a dog crate.
But people, possibly with some subtle direction from God, found the baby before he died.Authorities in South Carolina managed to locate 11-month-old Koah Sharpe alive after he was allegedly buried in a dog crate by his father, Michael Comer. According to Global News, Comer had Sharpe on Monday when the infant was reported missing following Comer's arrest by the Lexington County Sheriff's Department. Comer was taken into custody on a burglary charge and for resisting arrest Monday night; Koah Sharpe was not with Comer when police apprehended him.I wonder if the father will plead postpartum psychosis and gather an army of cult supporters behind him. Kurt Schlichter: The state GOP parties in Red States got fat and complacent about winning without even trying, and that laziness destroyed them this election cycle.
Early Tuesday afternoon, a search party located Koah Sharpe in the woods near Comer's father's home, where they noticed freshly disturbed earth. Sharpe was reportedly crying when authorities dug up the dog crate he was buried in. It had been covered with a towel, which created an air pocket that allowed the infant to survive about 24 hours underground.
There's no one fatter and lazier than a deep red state's Republican organization, with few exceptions, and this bit us badly on the butt last week. Now, California is not a red state -- not anymore, though it was when I grew up there -- but this little story kind of sums up the problem with Republican organizations. They aren't about winning; they are social clubs. I was at some GOP event and sat down for rubber chicken next to somebody who proudly announced he was the Republican chair of, say, the 69th District and had been for 20 years. I asked him when the last time a Republican won in the 69th District was, and he looked at me like I was insane, like it never occurred to him that electing people might be a remotely relevant consideration for a district chair. The answer, of course, was "Never." The Republicans had never won it. But he had his gig, a nice seat on the dais, and that was what mattered. Not victory. Just his place in the social club that is the California Republican Party. In the red states, we got too used to winning easily. Far too used to it. We got so used to winning that it never occurred to us that we might not win, and it never occurred to us that we might have to work to win.
Rep. Tom Emmer says he doubts Ilhan Nur Said Elmi will be in Congress much longer. I do not believe this at all, but I like the optimism.
Jonathan Turley
@JonathanTurley Apparently, Rep. Ocasio-Cortez's call to round up the "criminals" in Washington includes the conservative justices: "I mean, of course, this Supreme Court as well has also kind of legalized a lot of his criminality." The Democrats are fast becoming a party of berserkers...
...Of course, the impeachment standard is actually not
"kind of legalizing" stuff, but it is no worse than the understanding of her other colleagues of the standard...
...This pack and the pen approach would expand the Court with an instant liberal majority while potentially removing conservatives through criminal charges.
"She lied because you get naturalized as a citizen with your natural parent when they are naturalized, if you are under the age of 18. Well, she was not under the age of 18," Emmer said. Emmer argued that the citizenship question offers a cleaner route than any criminal case. "She would have to reapply to be a citizen -- it's an administrative procedure. She shouldn't be in Congress," he told Finnerty. Any indictment, according to Emmer, is a separate matter that "will go through in court." "Once it's established that she was over the age of 18 when she claimed to be a minor, she's no longer a citizen of the United States. And when she's no longer a citizen, she's not entitled to serve in Congress," he added.
Pressed on who would confirm her actual birth date, Emmer said, "I think the Department of Justice is finalizing that." He noted that "there are four different things that are being looked at, and that is one of them."
Via Ed Morrissey: it sure looks like the ugliest man in US history to think he has a realistic chance to be president got tipped by investigators that Nvidia might face an intelligence probe, then he and his wife (who he married for her heiress-money) dumped their Nvidia stock.
The ugliest man in American history to mistakenly believe he could be president crusades against "corruption" and also claims he is against congressmen trading in individual stocks.

He's a member of the following:
- Strategic Competition between the U.S. and the Chinese Communist Party Committee
- Taiwan Caucus
- High Tech Caucus
Apparently, federal agents informed some lawmakers last year that Jensen Huang might be the target of a foreign intelligence operation
He avoided a ~26% dip
He is a fvcking spy and should be taken out and shot.

A lot of state level East TX R's won their seats at the usual margins.
But they actually practiced retail politics--events in their communities, talking with their voters, running on the issues that actually mattered to their local voters.
Not "here's fifty 6x12 glossy flyers telling you the Dems are gonna trans your kids."
This matters more than you think because a lot of the senators we're counting on to hold the line--and craft an agenda to fight the Dems--come from East Texas.

This automatic naturalization of minors when their parent do is nonsense.
I could see it if the child was 4 or 5, and so their formative years were under parents who became citizens, but by 8 or so they could be ... well the near adult children of warlords who are totally hostile to American society. Anyone over 5yo needs to pass the same checks that an adult does.

Put that demonic "father" in a dog crate but no towel for an air pocket or any comfort measures. Add some angry copperheads and water moccasains, as many fat ones that fit. Throw into a swamp full of gators and wait til it sinks.
The good thing, if there is one, is that this sweet little boy may not have a true memory of this.
When my husband's brother died suddenly, a grief therapist told our SIL that her 3yr and 4yr old sons would probably not remember their father. Any memories would probably be connected to photos of them together.
This 11mo old sweetie, if he has a good mother and family support, I pray will live a good life.
I just read she's pregnant again and hope for the best for this little boy and his sibling.
I assume the mother, with full custody, will also have an evaluation of her home and his care.

Rouge?
Talk about a typo that's entirely appropriate. Yes, OSS was full of Reds, who gave all kinds of aid to other commie cocksuckers around the world. Which was sort of okay, since we were fighting the same Nazi socialist cocksuckers. But there was a shit-ton of aid that went to commies who just sat on it, waiting until the war was over so they could use it to take over their countries from the other non-cocksucker resistance forces (Mao sitting on his ass waiting for the KMT to do all the heavy lifting against the Japanese comes to mind).
Plus, the standard snark was that OSS stood for Oh So Social since Donovan was mainly interested in Ivy Leaguers as agents.

Not a fan of kimchi.
I once had lunch with a customer in Korea, which consisted of the hottest soup I ever ate and about 2 dozen bowls of different kimchi. I still have nightmares. Every 10 minutes the waitress would show up with 5 more bowls. They were small, but they all tasted like garlic and fire, in different textures and colors.

“There were obviously some issues” recently between Comer and Koah’s mother, the sheriff said Tuesday.
Comer pleaded guilty earlier this year to criminal charges including assault and battery and domestic violence, South Carolina court records show. Details of the charges and who they involved are unknown.

The Imperial Dynasty in Hanford CA, here in the San Joaquin Valley was one of the best Chinese places in the US, family owned for over 100 years, located in China Alley, a really neat old bit of the remaining Chinatown. Odd place for it though, a small rural agricultural town of around 40K people when I grew up there. Heartbreakingly amazing food.
The latest generations of the family decided that they didn't want to remain in the restaurant business so it's no more. Closed about 10 years ago, if memory serves.

Humans are not naturally good parents. They learn how as they grow, but left alone they won't figure it out until they are pensioners, if then.
Mostly they learn by watching other parents, including their own, but mostly not with them directly but with siblings and cousins. Or neighbors in a community where you have close friends and hang out at each other's houses so you see what is going on and what they do right and wrong.

But so was Texas, once upon a time. Like everywhere, the big threat is the leftward-leaning big cities, Tulsa, Oklahoma City, also the university environs.
My dad was instrumental in getting the state its first Republican governor since statehood, back in '62, and kicking some GOTV energy into the lackluster GOPartiers. That was… a long time ago.
Like the GOP elsewhere, Oklahoma Republicans may not be strong enough to do battle with the cheaters and schemers. I can all too easily imagine a Texasization of the Sooner State, starting with RINOs and then falling to the commies and even mussalins. Don't know what we can do about it.

Not really, oddly enough. On the Southern Pacific line, but not a major crossroads.
But it IS the site of one of the deadlier Old West shootouts, the Mussel Slough Tragedy in the 1880s. Which had to do with the railroad.
Southern Pacific Rail had land paralleling the existing rail line that they weren't using, about 5 miles away from the rails. They offered the land at a couple of dollars per acre, with financing. Lots of settlers bought land on mortgages to the railroad, who then altered the deal a few years later to about 10 times the per acre price in order to get legal ownership. This, after the settlers had developed the land.
Things got nasty...

In France, It's Officially Now a Crime to Criticize Islam, Even for a Major Author Who Was Permitted to Blaspheme Just Ten Years Ago
Michel Houllebecq, author of Submission -- about France under Islamic rule -- was just charged with the crime of offending violent Muslim colonizers.
Houllebecq is a major author and public intellectual. So this isn't a case of the censors going after a minor-league rabble-rouser they decide people won't fight for. This is the censors coming straight at the heart of free speech. Political speech and art are now officially crimes. David Strom points out he's even chickened out and backtracked as the Muslims ginned up the state to punish him. It wasn't enough. They want the coercion. They want the blasphemy laws enforced.
Tommy Robinson 🇬🇧
@TRobinsonNewEra
FRENCH AUTHOR CHARGED FOR CRITICISM OF ISLAM Michel Houellebecq is a French novelist, filmmaker and singer. He is known for his 'controversial' views on Islam and demographic replacement. He has said that Islam is "the dumbest of religions" and has warned "when entire territories come under Islamist control ... [violent] acts of resistance will take place" He has also said: "the wish of the population with French roots" was "for the violence to decrease, for [Muslim immigrants] to respect the law and people. Or, another good solution, for them to leave." The Union of Mosques of France filed a legal complaint alleging Houellebecq of "encouraging violence" through his remarks. In 2015, he published a novel titled 'Submission', imagining France under a Muslim president whose election leads to sweeping political and social changes. He did this just a day after the the Charlie Hebdo massacre in Paris. One of the victims of that murderous terrorist attack on freedom of speech just so happened to be a friend of his. A judge has now charged him with "complicity in incitement to discrimination, hatred or violence" Houellebecq's attorneys told Le Monde that the "[incriminating] remarks have no dimension of incitement, not even implicitly" and said their client
"[regrets] the increasing judicialization of intellectual debate." When far left groups and Muslim organisations take people to court to get a politically motivated judge to charge them for speaking freely, that signs the death knell for feedom of speech. Resist them while you can with every ounce of determination and with every resource you have, or risk losing those freedoms forever.
And the guy is hardly Tommy Robinson, who is more confrontational. He used to be, but has become far more circumspect. When he got pushback on his comments, he chickened out and said the problem wasn't Islam, but juvenile delinquents who just happen to be, by some strange coincidence, Muslims. He learned his lesson from the previous trial: couch your words in vagueness if you might offend a Muslim. Worst of all, he said he worried not so much about Muslims becoming violent, but about the French reaction to Muslims [after the French became] tired of the crime.In other words, Strom notes, he did the Norm MacDonald joke, but for real, hoping that if he couched his words in terms of his fear of backlash against peaceful Muslims after they blow up a dirty bomb, his speech would be deemed legal. It wasn't. Oh, one more point from Strom:
It's amazing how far down the prestige ladder the French intellectuals have fallen; a couple of decades ago, it would have been inconceivable for intellectuals to be held to account for almost any crime.Including pedophilia, of course, if you're on the left. When I was studying French and watching their TV, I was surprised that they actually respected free speech on news discussion shows. Yes, speakers on the right were "controversial," but they were actually allowed on the major debate shows and treated with respect. The French were, in that regard, much more open than the very closed American media, which completely excludes conservatives from the public debate. Except, of course, for "conservatives" like David French, Bill Krisol, and Jonah Goldberg. And it also wasn't the six-on-one token conservative gang-up, either. People were permitted to speak and disputes were had between one person and one other, or maybe two others. But I see that is no longer the case. Now they're charging critics of Islam with blasphemy.
KS-MVultra
@kevinskiles Nov 10 I'm so relieved the west won the Cold War. If the Soviets had of prevailed we'd be living under constant photo survelience, all our phones would be tapped, going to a political protest could get you financially sanctioned, writing a critical book could get you jailed and there would only be one political party to vote for. What a relief none of that happened.

So, the "fairness doctrine" again...
Posted by: man at November 12, 2026 05:51 PM (pfXMo)
______________________
The Fairness Doctrine was a precursor without means. I'm talking about exploiting the fully compromised Judiciary to justify outright challenge to the 1st Amendment by attaching a subjective opinion of "encouraging violence", "compromising public safety" etc. Those are the loopholes that will be exploited. And, when they install four more Supreme Court slots (as they are planning), it will be the law of the land.
The UK has the "Online Safety Act" for such censorship. Quebec adopted legislation (Bill 57) that imposes fines of up to $1,500 on anyone who intimidates or harasses a municipal or provincial politician in a way that prevents them from doing their job or causes them to fear for their safety. Any hack Judge can make a case for that purely out of thin air.
It's coming here, considering the majorities in the House and Senate for the Dems.

Same goals. The total destruction of Western Civilization. But the mohammedans actually have a plan for what comes afterwards. And as has happened in every commie cocksucker/mohammedan goat-fucker revolutionary team-up, the commies are the first to get liquidated after they take over.

Copenhagen Democracy Summit
February 2025
As technology evolves we need to build up societal immunity around information manipulation. Because research has shown that pre-bunking is much more successful than debunking.
Pre-bunking is basically the opposite of debunking. In short, prevention is preferable to cure.
Perhaps if you think of information manipulation as a virus. Instead of treating an infection, once it has taken hold, that is debunking. It is much better to vaccinate so that the body is inoculated. Pre-bunking is the same approach.

We found a core process on affected servers is becoming overwhelmed, causing capacity loss. To validate a potential recovery, we're isolating a portion of infrastructure, restarting affected components, and reintroducing traffic to confirm the services remain stable before applying the change more broadly.

Demographic research organizations estimate that roughly 26 million to 30 million Muslims live across Europe (excluding Turkey), with the largest populations in France, Germany, and Italy.
Muslims make up approximately 6.0% of the total population in both the United Kingdom and the European Union, while non-Muslim populations (including Christians, the religiously unaffiliated, and other faiths) account for roughly 94.0%.
Western vs. Eastern EU. Western European EU nations have noticeably higher Muslim population shares—such as France (roughly 9% to 10%), Belgium (around 7.6%), and Germany (roughly 6% to 7%). By contrast, many Central and Eastern EU member states (such as Poland, Hungary, and Romania) have Muslim populations below 0.5%.
☝🏼It may be close to truth.
At 1.6%, Ireland's Muslim population share is significantly lower than both the UK average (6.0%) and the broader EU average (5% to 6%), aligning closer to the United States (~1.0% to 1.2%).
But growing fast in the Republic.

Hollywood: Trash or Garbage?
James Gunn Edition
Matt McGloin has scoops about the upcoming James Gunn Superman sequel, Man of Tomorrow, being canceled, Batgirl-style, with all money spent so far being taken as a tax write off.
Or, he suggests, Man of Tomorrow might be given a cheap post-production budget and just dumped on HBO Max.I don't think this is true. But if it is true, I have a theory about it. Grace Randolf, an idiot SJW biased critic who was nevertheless right that James Gunn was a very poor fit for DC, has been predicting that the new regime at Skydance wants to give Gunn "notes" about the movie -- demands about what must be cut (for example, Supergirl's presence) and what new scenes need to be shot in reshoots. But James Gunn's contract states that he gets final cut over the movie. So: Is it possible that Skydance is putting out word they will straight-up cancel the movie (which has already been almost completely shot) if James Gunn does not give up on his final cut power and accept studio notes? That's a scenario that seems plausible to me. That said, I still don't know if we can credit any of these "scoops" as true. This seems like a really, really big decision to make. This is an expensive movie. Canceling it saves the money for post-production (editing, music, and of course special effects and marketing), but cancelling it locks in the substantial money already spent as a loss. I know, I know:
They write it off, Jerry. They write it off. Posted by: KramerIf Gunn calls their bluff and says "Fine, cancel it," do they go forward with the threat? I don't know. Like I said, I don't know how much of these claims, from a fairly obscure geek-culture news site, are true. The first article from Matt McGloin:
Man of Tomorrow's release is an open question inside Skydance. "All options are on the table," per what our Skydance Paramount insider was told Tuesday night from inside the company. That covers the Superman sequel's July 9, 2027 theatrical date, and everything short of it. It comes a day after the same insiders told us Skydance expects the movie to lose up to $100 million, with David Corenswet out as Superman. The math is the problem. "Now Ellison and Latcham have a $250M pile of ass sitting there waiting for post production, VFX, reshoots, and at least $125M in marketing. Total easily over $400M if they release it." "BIG HUGE IF," said the insider's friend inside the company. The movie wrapped filming in August, and James Gunn finished the assembly cut in early October. Post-production, effects, and any reshoots now happen under the regime that fired Gunn to take over the final cut. And what is on the screen is its own problem. Our insiders trashed the plot itself, down to what Wonder Woman is doing in it. The same read is now circulating outside the company. Columnist Dan Marcus, host of The Film Frontier, posted Tuesday night: "My friend predicted to me earlier today that MAN OF TOMORROW might just get dumped on the new HBO MAX/Paramount Plus streaming platform, and I hate to say it, but I think he could be right." Shown the post, our insider replied: "I was told tonight all options are on the table." ... Then there is Enty, the lawyer behind the Crazy Days and Nights blind item site, who ran this as Blind Item #5 dated November 10: "The comic studio heads were fired. They didn't quit. Their boss wants to sell off the entire comic book universe to help get rid of some of that $100B debt."So that kind of makes sense -- except for the fact that due to the collapse of DC on Film, the entire DC pile of intellectual property is currently at a low value. You'd want to bring in a Fluffer to get its value up a bit before selling. Still, some talk about DC being "cursed" and maybe the thinking is that its value will never increase. Oh, and it should be pointed out that due to copyright protections finally being allowed to expire, Superman and Batman (at least in their earlier forms) will become public domain in the 2030s. And then a whole bunch of characters start dropping into public domain: Wonder Woman, Joker, Captain America, Flash, etc. All the characters created in the initial burst of of the golden age of comics. (Most of the characters created by Marvel, except for the early ones like Cap, Human Torch, and Namor the Sub-Mariner, will be protected for a while longer, as they were mostly created in the early sixties.) McGloin also claims that James Gunn is "setting fire" to DC on his way out the door. Some of these claims seem dubious, but McGloin tells him that his Warner Bros/Discovery sources previously tipped him, accurately, that Hal Jordan would be killed in "Lanterns" and that Gunn was slated to be fired.
UPDATE: Variety confirms our report on Man of Tomorrow. Two sources now describe Gunn "setting fire" to DC on his way out, screaming matches over the cut included. The plot details leaked: a simp Superman and a lesbian Wonder Woman. Insiders reports are stating Man of Tomorrow may not get a theatrical release. We're told David Corenswet is done. Variety says Lanterns is canceled. THR reports David Ellison and Ynon Kreiz fired Gunn and Safran in person on the Warner Bros. lot; plus, Puck reports Skydance is already dismantling the Gunn DCU slate. TheWrap also says the goofy DCU is over and Ellison is mandating a return to Justice League. ... They're the same insiders who first told us back in October 2025 that Gunn would be out, who told us that Hal Jordan would die in Lanterns, and even that Daredevil: Born Again would be retooled.His report from yesterday about "screaming matches" over the direction took Man of Tomorrow.
"MOT is dog s--, confirmed, bunch of random nobodies cameo without rhyme or reason. Plot is stupid, Superman is a simp again, and Wonder Woman is a lesbian. You heard that right. She and Hawkgirl 'meet cute' and bond while punching white straight 'evil' dudes." That is our Skydance Paramount insiders, relaying word from inside the studio as the new regime decides what to do with the movie. ... Per this leak, that is the pairing: a meet cute, a bond, and "evil" dudes to punch. We have also been told Arjona's Wonder Woman is a one-and-done, so whatever happens in this movie, the character starts over under the new bosses.A word about these rumored "kitchen sink cameos:" 1, they would make Superman a mere co-star in his own movie again, and 2, it would further goofify the DC universe by featuring Gunn's favorite type of character, misfit joke-characters, and 3, it would also reduce excitement for what Skydance hopes would re-invigorate the brand, a Justice League team-up. If you have Superman teaming up with half of the DC universe in every movie, it's not really a big deal when he teams up with other characters. Variety confirms that Skydance wants to remove many of the cameos and "easter egg ephemera" from the film. You might say, "But Gunn would use marginal/minor characters for his cameos and reserve the 'big guns' for a future Justice League movie." But here's the thing: To a normie, any characters besides Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman are marginal/minor characters. The Flash is one of DC's top heroes but to a normie, he's just another weird side-character. Especially after Ezra Miller played him.
The "random nobodies" complaint has a paper trail. Our insiders said Man of Tomorrow is Gunn's last hurrah and Gunn was "kitchen sinking cameos and fan service, a lot of which may not even make it to the screen".
Script leaks described an event movie stuffed with two teams and characters DC has never put on screen.
And on Monday, the insiders behind the Gunn firing exclusive said the new bosses call the movie "too bloated" and are not excited about it.Although I almost can't believe they'd make Wonder Woman -- the most iconic female superhero in the world -- a lesbian, it should be remembered that leftists, feminists, and gay activists have been demanding she be made a lesbian (or at least bisexual) for a long, long time, and leftwing "creatives" have been bowing to that pressure to make many B- or C-list characters gay for a decade now. Even if the "meet cute" were just a Star-Wars-like hint/suggestion that they might be gay, that would still establish Wonder Woman as canonically lesbian. The straight-to-gay sexuality-bending pipeline only goes in one direction. It never goes in the other direction. Feh. Maybe Skydance should take Alfred's advice about how to deal with mad chaos agents: "Burn the whole forest down."
Update: It's also reported that Skydance asked Gunn and his partner Safran about their plans for the future and their progress on their alleged "ten year plan" of movies but the pair were secretive and evasive, which made up Skydance's minds for them.
Meanwhile, Jim Caviziel's action movie Ghost Soldier opened Tuesday for Veterans Day.
Minus One was so remarkably effective because it had one emotional through line. It was a character arc centered on Shikishima.
In Minus Zero, however, we have Shikishima and Noriko trying to protect Akiko, Dr. Noda and newcomer Aoyama trying to atone for past sins, along with the brilliant Professor Murakami who’s characterization in the film was by far the strongest and most interesting.

If you want to avoid that spoiler, watch the older trailer from two months ago....but I was wrong, that earlier trailer also contains the spoiler, just more subtle. But not that subtle. So if you want to remain unspoiled, don't watch the trailers. Or stop them on the hero shot of Godzilla roaring at the camera near the end. But you better stop it quick after that, because that's when they drop the spoiler.

For those who wish a more entertaining Black Mold Experience than that in the thread below...
There's a fun, weird little horror-adjacent movie comedy titled-
"Motivational Growth" (2013)
About a loser who after failing to commit suicide in his bathroom, discovers a large pile of talking black mold in one of the corners, that gives him motivational advice and slowly takes over his life.
I won't tell you that it's a great movie, but it's a lot of fun and just flat out weird. Grab a couple of beers, settle in on the couch, and enjoy.
This is one I enjoyed enough to wind up buying the disc.
Currently streaming on Prime and a few other services.

My mini-review: Gojira Minus One was a better film than Minus Zero, but Minus Zero is a better Godzilla movie.
Very fun, if you have D-BOX available spring for it.
It will take almost 3 hours in the theater. But you won't feel it in the movie.

Godzilla is a weird franchise.
It started as an attempt at serious cinema, just with a monster as a standin for nuclear holocaust upon Japan.
Those roots give the creators excuse to go back again and again and again to make it serious and topical (Godzilla was about environmental concerns for a few entries).
But, the appeal is very much just giant monsters stepping on buildings. It's broad and has this tendency to appeal to children, so it always ends up trending towards kids the longer an era goes on.
I like it best in the middle ground when it's big monsters stepping on buildings, but the storytelling is actually decent. Invasion of Astro Monster of Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack.
I'm still waiting for Toho to get real balls and tell a Godzilla story purely from his perspective. The only humans are puny and to be stepped on.

The current era (Reiwa) begins with Shin Godzilla (the imperial calendar disagrees, but Toho categorizes weird).
Everything since that from Japan has been good. Well, everything live action. There's a trilogy of anime films which are boring and tedious and awful that I recommend everyone avoid.

Nope, nope, nope. That last episode ruined any life possible for the show. As I've written elsewhere...
A Green Lantern who took down Sinestro and battled evil on the galaxy, gets taken out by a female norm girlfriend, who obviously didn't care one iota about him
A 2nd Green Lantern, who was focused on truth and justice on Earth, then decides to help cover up the murder by that girlfriend b/c doing otherwise might be hard.
And a 3rd Green Lantern gets played like a chump and then scurries off with his tail between his legs after already being embarrassed once...all b/c a black guy says so.
Nope, nope, nope. Not my Lanterns.

So, basically, the Wonder Woman origin story (as well as her compatriots), is a dig on the Paternalism.
Or, in the 2011 reboot written by Brian Azzarello, the Amazons maintained their numbers by boarding passing ships to conceive children with sailors. They kept the female babies to raise as Amazons and traded the male babies to the god Hephaestus in exchange for weapons and armor.

The new Japanese series started with Godzilla Minus One two years ago (I think.) This one is the second in that line. The first was VERY good- think serious disaster movie, but Godzilla is the disaster. It's human drama with some monster stomping.
The new American series start with "Godzilla" in 2014. It was a pretty good movie. More serious than most Godzilla movies, but tells a good story. Next was "Godzilla, King of the Monsters". Less serious move, but an amazing soundtrack and more fun, especially if you're mostly interested in Kaiju stomping each other. It then combined with the King Kong movies for some decent movies. They aren't great, but they're more fun than most Hollywood drek. (It's hard to fit an alphabet people storyline into giant apes and dinosaurs fighting.)

I don't even know if that will save them at this point.
Nearly every Justice League stand-alone was mediocre or bad, except Wonder Woman, and then the Justice League movie itself was very whelming - even Snyder's long recut that was on HBO Max didn't help it much.
The only luck DC has had in the past two decades, with films, is with Batman & Gotham characters.
But how many times can you return to that well?
The Batman II is in production so maybe they'll make some money there.
Make a real Justice League film next, that people actually like, and maybe Skydance can sell DC off by then if it makes any money.

JL could wait if Gunn destroys it...one of those "the JL is in space and we are left to defend Earth" plotlines to introduce the Teen Titans...

"What happened?"
"Well, I was flying along and happened to pass over Wonder Woman's house. She was nude on a chaise longue in the back hard, moaning and writhing. I'm not proud of this, but I just couldn't help myself. I whipped out the super dong and zoomed down on top of her."
"Wow! I'll bet she was surprised."

We don't have screenwriters (Well, we do, but Hollywood won't hire them because they're white men) who can make DC movies.
It's hilarious because Marvel made Captain America as a straightforward, righteous hero... and was rewarded for it. (They later made him deal with a gray world, but the first movie was just straight hero.)
That's what ALL the main DC heroes need to be. Because Batman is darker, the existing Hollywood can still make a good movie with him. But they don't understand pure heroes like the Flash or Superman. That's why those movies have sucked since the 1990s. Hollywood doesn't believe in heroes.

As near as I can tell Gunn is in to clowns, weirdos, misfits, freaks, and being pseudo-gay.
He needs to just stick to that, make himself some Freak Flag Fly movies, instead of ruining every superhero flick he's touched since GotG I.
Gunn could probably make a great Deadpool flick.
Because that seems to be all he knows what to do with any character.

"Godzilla Minus Zero" is a very good and just plain fun movie.
It has too much plot, which is why it's not quite as good as GMO, but you'll still be entertained and never bored. Cut...what? 15-20 minutes and you have a flat-out Kaiju Masterpiece.
Love the opening sequence. And they've made Godzilla's main adversary much more interesting than in the older flicks.

This guard reprimanded Pete Hegseth's guest for laughing at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Hegseth gave him a medal for it.
The Associated Press
@AP
A soldier guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier issued a verbal reprimand to a group of advisers and staffers with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth following a Veterans Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery. As the group broke from taking photos, a loud laugh could be heard, and the soldier guarding the tomb shouted: “All visitors will maintain an atmosphere of silence and respect at all times.”
-
A Pentagon official confirmed that Hegseth welcomed the 3rd Infantry Regiment, known as The Old Guard, to the Pentagon 'where he proudly awarded Specialist Iglesias the Joint Service Commendation Medal for the execution of his duties at the Tomb of the unknown Soldier on November 11, 2026.'

With the notable exception of Superman, Batman and MAYBE Wonder Woman, DC has always been dogshit stuffed into spandex onesies. I mean, a lot of their villain names are really stupid. For example, Steppenwolf is an Earth-centric name, (wolf of the steppes in German), not to mention a 1920s novel by Hesse and a hippie biker band from the 60s. Then there's Darkseid (Dark Side, get it?) who comes from the planet Apokolips (Apocalypse, get it?)

Republican Senate Majority Leader John Thune defending the filibuster during a press conference in March 2026: "throughout history, it's protected Republicans and conservative priorities and principles a lot more often than it's protected Democrats." (Video)
He’s correct, which is why we should get rid of it immediately when we take over. It’s already only there for their policies. As will be demonstrated in the next two months, while they shove through as many judges as they want.
This is why people like McConnell never whined when they lost elections. He knew all of the institutional advantages favor Republicans. The Electoral College, 2 senators per state regardless of population, the 1913 Apportionment Act limiting Congress to 435 members, the filibuster, the list goes on and on.
Trump and his supporters don't get it because they're either not interested or not capable of thinking even one step ahead.
The archaic and undemocratic filibuster is going away. It is a tool for suppressing the masses.
Republicans will have to use the filibuster to prevent Democrats from protecting full Social Security benefits into the future

It's an interesting tactic. Trump said we already completely control the Strait, fuel prices are dropping...what's to negotiate? Iran will continue to strangle and be unable to make nukes, so all of our objectives have been met.
Iran can't continue along this path indefinitely, and are desperate for the Dems to save them (and the US population supports them generally, thinking the war should "end"). Trump is trying to say the war is already over to buy time to let Iran get hurt even more. I'm curious how much Iran can actually muster some kind of offensive operation, even limited in scope, to get "war" back in the headlines to help the Dems make it an issue again to save them.

(From wikipedia) The feature centers on the ghost of 19th-century Confederate general J. E. B. Stuart, who is sent by the spirit of Alexander the Great to act as a guardian over his two namesakes, Lieutenant Jeb Stuart (named Jeb Stuart Smith in the early stories, eventually shortened to Jeb Stuart) and the M3 Stuart he commands.
Its a glorious work of story-telling and art, an obvious "Union" tank (since the Union defeated the Confederacy in the War of Northern Aggression) roaming throughout World War II with a Confederate flag flying from it, and the ghost of the General himself giving timely advice on how to out-maneuver and defeat the Naziis.

USAID Inspector General Audit: A public oversight report from the USAID Office of Inspector General confirmed that while SpaceX donated 3,677 terminals in early 2022, the U.S. government directly purchased 1,508 terminals and spent over $3 million in taxpayer funds on equipment and shipping.
In June 2023, the Department of Defense formally announced a contract with SpaceX to buy Starlink terminals and dedicated military services for Ukraine, later disclosing the contract's initial value at $23 million.
Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski publicly confirmed—and SpaceX has not disputed—that Poland paid roughly $50 million per year to fund tens of thousands of Starlink terminals and active subscriptions for Ukrainian forces.
In February 2023, SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell publicly confirmed active technical steps to restrict Ukraine's ability to use Starlink were taken.

Last night, we started watching a Korean series on Netflix titled-
"Dead End Job".
The set-up is that a guy who is broke and owes a ton of money, starts taken one shot jobs given to him by a mysterious job agency. All of the jobs involve some kind of supernatural terror or insane danger no matter how innocuous they sound.
Fun, entertaining watch, some good laughs, some good shock and twists.

Posted by: Military Moron at November 12, 2026 05:11 PM (rpaek)
We did a lot right in Iran, especially the big things, and a few things wrong. Stomping their military like a bug: right. Making the rubble around their nuke sites bounce: right. Killing every mohammedan Iranian mullah leader we could locate: right. Expecting that the Persian sheep people would take over from there: wrong. Giving the Persians weapons to facilitate revolution: right. Letting the lace panty brigade at Dept of State, CIA and DEI assholes left at DoW handle weapons distribution: wrong.
The main thing we did wrong is misjudging how far back into a savage, stone-age past we would have to bomb them until the mullahs quit. The mullahs are perfectly content to rule over a 7th century garbage dump covered in monkey crap as long as they're in charge. Any sane country would call it a day after going back to the 16th century.

We used to get those West Point meatheads using all that football rhetoric to try to get us pumped up for a field exercise. Frankly, it'd just piss me off. Football is a GAME that children play in school, and citizens watch for entertainment. Field exercises are military training for WAR, where we trained so we could survive while shooting enemies in the face and splattering their brains all over the grass. I got chewed out a couple of times for rolling my eyes at the gridiron pep talks.
Congress doesn't go to war or train for it. They work phones to raise bribe money, drink scotch with their opponents and stick their peanut dicks into blonde congressional aides just out of Yale, before doing 20 minutes of actual work in a day. Thune can take that pigskin rhetoric and shove it up his squeekhole.

Those were Jack Kirby characters from a (brief) return stint he did at DC in the late '60s-early '70s.
while he was on the outs with Stan Lee.
The original Kirby "Fourth World" was pretty cool, though of course DC crapped the characters and scenarios up in the inevitable DC fashion after Kirby went back to Marvel (and then to animation and indie).
God, I need to get a life.

DC Shooter Identified as a Doctor Who Was Angry About Black Mold in His Apartment, So He Shot Four People Instead of Hiring a Fucking Cleaner
Libs don't do maintenance or self-sustenance.
His apartment is worth $1.1 million. I think he could have hired someone to clear out the mold. He shot up the gym because he thought its ventilation might be giving him mold.The gunman in the early morning Washington, DC, gym shooting has been identified as a well-heeled doctor who was battling his homeowners' association over black mold in his $1.1 million penthouse and railed about it on X. Dr. Matt Lambert, an emergency room doctor, had sued Metropole Condominium Association in March 2025, alleging that repairs to the building, which involved it being surrounded by scaffolding and drapes, led to mold festering in his home. "Two years of living in luxury (and the start of 6 months with no shower, dryer, HVAC, and cooking)," an X account linked to Lambert posted Wednesday, along with pictures showing renovations in the Logan Circle unit. Lambert, who lived on the seventh floor of 1515 15th St. NW, opened fire Thursday morning inside the ground-floor gym, killing at least one person. He then ran back up to his apartment and barricaded himself for nearly an hour before he killed himself. Emergency personnel are pictured working at the site of a shooting in Washington, DC, with police cruisers, fire trucks, and ambulances surrounding the area, with an overlay of an emergency response team standing on the roof deck of a building in Logan Circle.I mean, it sucks-- but murder? He is wealthy enough to move. You might wonder where I'm getting the idea that he's a shitlib from.
DC police said they were investigating a conflict with the homeowner's association as the reason behind the shooting, which left one dead and four others injured.
Lambert filed his suit in March 2025, alleging that his home experienced "no significant water intrusion, mold, moldy smells, moisture accumulation, or related damage," prior to the remediation efforts overseen by the association. But, after the building was enveloped, his unit "experienced suspected water intrusion, mold, significant moisture accumulation, and/or related damage," the suit said. Lambert described himself as "a board-certified emergency physician with over two decades of clinical experience" and a medical tech executive on his personal website. "He has a deep understanding of health care regulations and their impact on technology adoption," the site says. He also said he split his time between the "mountains of West Virginia and the Logan Circle neighborhood of Washington, DC."
Well, from his picture:

The suspected shooter, who law enforcement just identified as Dr. Matt Lambert, targeted his first victim in the Vida gym on the east side of 15th Street NW, D.C. Councilmember Brooke Pinto told News4.
“We believe the suspect walked into Vida to target somebody that he had been in active litigation with, over a condo issue,” Pinto said. “It’s just so sad and so senseless to kill someone over a dispute that should be worked out reasonably.”

Most of Dr. Lambert's recent and executive career was spent in the private, for-profit healthcare sector.
In March 2026, he was appointed Chief Medical Officer and Head of Product Strategy for Advantmed, a private, for-profit health information management and risk-adjustment company.
He previously served as Chief Medical Officer at Curation Health, a for-profit clinical decision-support company that was later acquired by Reveleer.
His background included executive and medical informatics roles at for-profit entities such as HealthNXt (a Tech Mahindra company), The HCI Group, Socially Determined, and Clinovations (which was acquired by the Advisory Board Company and later Optum).
He also founded his own emergency medicine staffing and consulting firm, MLEM.
But earlier in his career, Dr. Lambert did hold leadership and clinical positions within public and nonprofit healthcare institutions.

@Bubblebathgirl
Ilhan Omar blatantly lied Thursday when she posted that “Trump is kicking 6.3 million MORE Americans off SNAP.”
That’s not what’s happening. The USDA published a proposed rule on Tuesday to stop states from automatically giving SNAP to households that receive certain TANF benefits even when their income exceeds the normal limit. TANF is the temporary federal welfare program for low-income families with children. USDA estimates the change could affect about 6.3 million people years from now if it ever becomes final. It is still only a proposal. Nobody has been removed under it.
Omar frames this as Trump yanking benefits from Americans. What she’s really defending is the looser rules that let people who don’t qualify keep receiving food stamps. The Big Beautiful Bill already tightened SNAP so illegal immigrants and others who don’t qualify couldn’t keep abusing the system. Omar wants those loopholes reopened.
The point of SNAP is to help people who actually need it, not to keep handing it out to households that can already provide for themselves. It’s always the same with Omar.

The point of SNAP is to help people who actually need it, not to keep handing it out to households that can already provide for themselves. It’s always the same with Omar.

The look is just fine. For me it's the accent. Even though I know that it's irrational, a heavy Asian accent turns Mr Happy Fun Time into an overcooked piece of linguine.
Last company I worked for, one of the Vietnamese/Caucasian clean room workers had a serious crush on me (which of course, proved that she had problems with good judgement). Beautiful face, tall at about 5' 10" or so, great body. She'd come over to say good morning several times a week with a sexy squeeze of my shoulder. But she sounded like a Saigon extra from Full Metal Jacket. Argh.

Defending fuc*ing Biden's crooked policies, she is.
In August 2021, the Biden administration's USDA completed a major reevaluation of the Thrifty Food Plan—the formula used to calculate SNAP payout. (Yeah, right. After C19)
Taking effect in October 2021, this update raised maximum SNAP benefit amounts by roughly 21% above standard inflation adjustments (an average increase of about $36 per person per month).
According to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), this unilateral benefit expansion increased projected federal SNAP spending by roughly $250 billion to $300 billion over a decade. According to an Urban Institute analysis, the increase kept approximately 2.9 million people out of poverty.
He also screwed up the provisions for working - or not - while under the program in both 2020 and 2023.
He and the Autopen operators - monsters not heros.

About a loser who after failing to commit suicide in his bathroom, discovers a large pile of talking black mold in one of the corners, that gives him motivational advice and slowly takes over his life.
I won't tell you that it's a great movie, but it a lot of fun and just flat out weird. Grab a couple of beers, settle in on the couch, and enjoy.
This is one I enjoyed enough to wind up buying the disc.

@mattrobinson Oct 28 Jonathan Turley Rejects Hasan Piker's Defense of Ilhan Omar Federal Immigration Investigation Constitutional attorney Jonathan Turley joined Fox News Channel's "The Story" to address online political commentator Hasan Piker's characterization of the federal investigation into Representative Ilhan Omar. Piker recently dismissed the federal probe targeting the Minnesota congresswoman's immigration background, marital history, and financial filings as a minor paperwork violation. Turley strongly rejected that interpretation, stating that the criminal code is largely comprised of paperwork violations, including serious offenses like tax evasion, bank fraud, and extortion. He emphasized that the allegations constitute serious immigration fraud. Legal experts note that if Omar's citizenship application relied on a false age to piggyback off her father's naturalization application as a minor, the federal government could seek to revoke her citizenship entirely rather than allowing a simple administrative correction. The ongoing investigation has brought additional scrutiny to several facets of Omar's past, including her late father's potential role as a colonel in an abusive Somali regime and unverified allegations concerning her previous marriage. Turley criticized mainstream media outlets for failing to press the lawmaker on specific inconsistencies, such as deleted social media posts, alleged staff directives to alter birth dates on official documents, and her ambiguous responses regarding her familial relationships.

He obviously can either read or understand English, which he claims he didn't in NOLA.
You don't pick up on being transgender hangin' wit de boys as I doubt it is a hot topic. Unless there is a gang of Hot Honduran Transmorphrodites; and I could be in the dark (thanks be to God). With Rulez to Live By and Not Be Deported.
He learned or leared this from the trans news. Of the protection of trans. Of them going nuts and killing children.
I need evidence and a poor soul needs to examine his nethers. If he's shaved it is pisslam.
If he's wearing Amish underwear (does search: commando or boxers/briefs) he could be Amish based on beard alone.
However the behavior points to pisslam.
Blood test to check for estrogen.
There. All the work done for the court before he's deported with a tattoo on his forhead that he's trans in Spanish. Or, for Hondurans who can't read, deport him in a pink Barbie dress and wig.

I could be wrong on the sleep demon vs alien probe. It was some sort of scary episode at night. Found this:
In 2023 he woke at 0230 struggling to breathe, with graying vision, and being mauled or cut by something unseen. The bleeding claw marks he showed to religious people who thought demonic or spiritual vexation. The alternatives are sleep paralysis, nocturnal self scratching, or from his dogs. He went on to, of course, podcast the demonic visitation.
I found it all hilarious and wish it was filmed. One wonders what his wife thought. I know it would wake me up if my dude was acting like this, bro.
When I wake up at 0400 I am simply annoyed that it is my stress alarm. So far no demons are scratching me.

I'll eat my shoe if 1) she isn't allowed to pledge another oath of office and be seated for the new term in January and 2) this will conclude with her being deported or denied any kind of legal citizenship status because of her "paperwork violations."
It will drag on for the next 2 years, maybe, until it vaporizes into nothing will happen status. No wonder she's smug.

The Biden administration, and likely O & Joe's before, used that to justify the border jumpers - including the man who recently appeared in 60 minutes re: alleged illegal deportations by Trump administration.

45 Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee:

One was on the FBI's Most Wanted list for $5 million. I was flying a lot then, alone or with my dude.
In the Atlanta airport there was a coffee shop and we were eating and watching the down at an escalator in the International terminal. Had I been alone I would have taken action vs being with the sane person who would have stopped me.
The terrorist, and I am 99% sure it was him, met my eyes as he went down the elevator. I know it was him. I said nothing to my husband as he knows I am insane on any given day, and I try not to add to this.
I wanted to follow him, alert the Atlanta security/police and call the FBI for my $5million. He was later killed in Pakistan.

As a trans woman I'm super torn on this. I have no clue if there's actually an advantage. Since I started estrogen I've seen a significant decrease in my own strength.
the conversation has been given WAY too much significance, & it reflects a fundamental warping of our society’s values as well as manipulation by bad actors looking to hurt minorities.
there's still many of us who won't sacrifice you because it seems politically expedient. W know that when you give bigots an inch, they take a mile, and that's what these ballot measures really mean.
The decisions should not be done by politicians. And definitely should not be decided by emotion-filled bigots who vote on laws based on knee-jerk emotional reactions to the verbiage of an initiative on a ballot.

I don't know but she sold Hot Air and twitter? for a lot of money. Her kids became teens. And I think she probably got tired of all the bs people threw at her. I liked her.
She did a huge series on the border going back to 1999 and ranchers finding pisslam prayer rugs. A guy wrote about it and I talked to him once (from New Mexico) to discuss something. He had a stroke at some point and I can't remember his name.
I wish now, as I had my pastry and coffee, I had stood up when he was going down the escalator and said, "Yo, Adnan!" to have seen his reaction. He would have either run or ignored me.
I already know what my husband's reaction would have been...then to see me run away and catch one of the trains with Adnan and wonder what was in my coffee!?
I would have had a lot of 'splainin to do to Adnan (if it wasn't him, and it was) as well as my dude.

Nvidia's CEO Resigns After His Affair with a Chinese Spy Is Revealed
Nvidia makes the crucial chips that power almost all AI machines.
China is obviously interested in keeping those chips flowing to China, and perhaps picking up some details about how they're made and how they can be exploited. And Nvidia's CEO, Jensen Huang, was just caught bang-banging a Fang Fang.AF Post
@AFpost Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has admitted to having an affair with a suspected Chinese spy in a message to his company amid media reports. The company has announced an independent investigation into the matter, with the intent of determining whether Huang was the target of a foreign intelligence operation. Huang has apologized to his wife and children and says he takes "full responsibility" for his actions.
OSINTdefenderI don't know if the suspected honeytrap used her affair with Huang to move chips to China. But she sure did move a lot of Nvidia chips to China:
@sentdefender Nvidia announced in a statement Sunday that it is opening an independent investigation of CEO Jensen Huang, following reports that he had been targeted by a long-term foreign intelligence effort led by the Chinese Communist Party aimed at weakening the chip manufacturer's relationship with the United States and strengthening it with China. Nvidia's Board of Directors said as part of the statement: "A committee of independent directors, assisted by outside independent counsel, will oversee the investigation. The Board prioritizes U.S. national and economic security, which is paramount to the interests of NVIDIA and its shareholders. While the Board has no reason to believe that either national security or NVIDIA secrets were compromised, the Board's inquiry will examine all available information."
KalshiSeven and a half billion dollars' worth of AI chips. That's a lot. She ran a front company whose mission was to evade restrictions on sales of AI chips to China.
@Kalshi BREAKING: Jensen Huang's lover helped move $7,500,000,000 in restricted Nvidia AI chips into China during affair 43% chance Jensen leaves as CEO before 2028
The abrupt departure follows days of melodrama over Huang's admitted affairs -- two have been acknowledged by Huang, so you know there are more out there -- and the fact that his most recent paramour has all the appearances of being a ChiCom intelligence officer in addition to running a front company designed to bust U.S. restrictions on China's access to Nvidia chips. This has cost Nvidia about 30% of its stock value, or about $1 trillion- yes, that was with a "t"- since the affair broke on October 29. ... Ms. Huang was an executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed, a major Nvidia customer that U.S. authorities have investigated for suspected diversion of advanced chips toward China. A recent New York Times investigation found that Megaspeed had no offices, facilities, or apparent employees despite accounting for between 10 and 15 percent of Nvidia's revenue. It ran from leased space inside an accounting firm that specialized in managing shell corporations.And now Huang has resigned, so that Huang can spend more time with his Fang Fang Bang Bang.
Ed LudlowNvidia stock prices fell 13% on news of the resignation, but had already fallen a bunch since the disclosure of the scandal at the end of October. Update: It's now reported he had two extramarital affairs, but I assume it's only the suspected Chinese spy they really care about. The second acknowledged affair was with Kimberly Powell, a Nvidia executive handling health care.
@EdLudlow BREAKING: Jensen Huang has resigned as Nvidia CEO. CFO Colette Kress will act as Interim CEO and earnings go ahead next week. The board will consider external candidates for CEO longterm.
Ed LudlowBelow: China's own chip industry is rapidly catching up to our own.

Democrats won full control of six states with 71 electoral votes on Nov. 3: Arizona, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Minnesota joined the compact in 2023, leaving 61 electoral votes in the other five.
If Pennsylvania and Wisconsin joined, the compact would still need Michigan and either Arizona or Nevada to reach 270. The compact governs a presidential election only if states with 270 electoral votes have it in effect by July 20 of that year, according to National Popular Vote.

Top House Democrats are calling for an investigation into Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick over his alleged role in the NVIDIA scandal, and they're signaling that Secretary of State Marco Rubio could be next.
Rep. Ted Lieu, who is expected to become chairman of the House Democratic Caucus, tells Fox News Digital that Lutnick's handling of allegations involving former NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang and suspected Chinese spy Alice Huang is "completely unacceptable."
Rep. Ro Khanna goes further, saying Rubio "knew about the Chinese spy, and then got invited to the China trip."

Godzilla vs Biollante was recently remastered in 4K. It was long out of print. Underrated Godzilla flick from a forgotten era. Saw it years ago on some shitty old DVD that I bought on ebay or something.

Prediction. Screenshot this post, we'll talk again in five years.
They're going to pull it off. Jensen Huang is going to be pushed out of Nvidia.
And here's what happens next.
Elon hires Jensen and puts him in charge of Terafab.
He's already said it publicly: hiring him would be an honor. And Terafab is the project made for him. A chip factory Musk wants to be the largest ever built, one terawatt of compute per year, from design to packaging under one roof. Terafab's challenge is to do in a few years what the industry took decades to build. There's only one man on Earth who knows every layer of that stack.
They execute like absolute maniacs.
Musk brings speed, capital and appetite for risk. Jensen brings thirty years of mastery of the stack: architecture, software, customers, supply chain. Musk builds factories faster than anyone alive. Jensen knows exactly what to put inside them. It's the only duo in the world capable of compressing a decade into three years.

Here's a hot take:
Jensen Huang has just officially stepped down as CEO of Nvidia ($NVDA), and the most terrifying scenario in Silicon Valley is emerging today—what if Musk poaches the newly ousted Huang to lead Tesla ($TSLA) and SpaceX ($SPCX)?
Don't think this is a joke. Put the clues from the past 24 hours together, and it's downright chilling:
1. While all of Wall Street was piling on and pressuring Old Huang to step down, Musk was the first to publicly back him, saying, “Jensen Huang is irreplaceable for American AI.”
2. Then today, a user asked Musk on X: “If Jensen Huang gets fired from Nvidia and is out of a job, would you hire him?” Musk personally replied: “That would be an honour!”
3. Don't forget, Musk just unveiled plans for Terafab, a super chip factory costing a whopping $1 trillion, and he needs a top-tier chip godfather who can take charge of the whole operation!
If Huang, forced out by the board, turns around and teams up with Musk to develop in-house AI chips, could the resignation announcement the Nvidia board signed today become the most foolish act of self-sabotage in Silicon Valley history?

Police surrounded a barricaded Ace of Spades over concerns of violence following a dispute with a landlord regarding unauthorized shelving. A manifesto exhorting readers to achieve "Gainzzzz" sprinkled with snide commentary about the nation's entertainment industry was released despite police objections regarding possible copycats.
A declassified memo from Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton warned that China has stepped up its efforts to use attractive female spies to compromise key American bloggers such as Ace of Spades but a dissenting group within the CIA leaked to the New York Times that China was having a difficult time finding a spy willing to have sex with Mr. O'Spades.
Also, President Trump pulled Vice President J.D. Vance out of his role in Iran negotiations and reassigned him to focus his attention on combating trolls posting on the Ace of Spades HQ website.

At Least Five Shot In DC Near the White House;
Shooter Takes Own Life?
He should have led with that.
Via Red State:
An active shooting situation Thursday morning near Logan Circle in Washington, D.C. has left at least five people injured, D.C. Metro Police tell Fox News Digital. Police say they no longer consider the shooter to be at large, telling Fox News Digital the shooter has been "contained" and is currently barricaded by law enforcement officers. "MPD is on the scene of an ACTIVE SHOOTING in the area of 15th and P Street, Northwest. MPD's Emergency Response Team is on scene," D.C. police wrote on X. "AVOID THE AREA," police added. In a post on X, D.C. Council member Brooke Pinto said the shooting occurred outside of Vida Fitness, adding that multiple people were injured.
🚨 BREAKING: MASSIVE POLICE PRESENCE in DC after an active shooting with at least 4 shot, and the shooter is reportedly BARRICADED
Pray for the victims and the police who are RAPIDLY trying to get this scumbag mitigated 🙏🏻 "The incident has resulted in a barricade situation in the 1500 block of 15th Street, Northwest. MPD’s Emergency Response Team is on the scene. Please avoid the area as we work to resolve the incident." Huge law enforcement presence has been spotted. The public is being told to avoid the area— Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) November 12, 2026
Police continue to negotiate with the active shooter suspect, who is barricaded inside of an apartment at 1517 15th Street NW, over the phone.
It appears a fire has been intentionally set inside that same area. DC Fire & EMS not able to gain access inside. https://t.co/deG6Nx8tAu— The DC MD VA Live (@TheDMVLive) November 12, 2026
DC Police’s Emergency Response Team (ERT/SWAT) has breached the door to the suspect’s apartment on the 1500 block of 15th Street NW.

FDNY
@FDNY At 4:01 p.m. Wednesday, the FDNY responded to 1321 Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn for a collapse of a three-story, multiple-dwelling building into an adjacent construction site. Units arrived within one minute and immediately started search-and-rescue operations. Two people have been pronounced dead, and more than 15 others have been injured as of 8:30 p.m. Wednesday. "Multiple people from the building and the construction site were trapped," FDNY Commissioner Lillian Bonsignore said. "This will be a prolonged operation. Collapse operations are extremely dangerous. Every move is choreographed and critically important to patient outcomes and member safety. Members have been working methodically and haven't stopped since they arrived this afternoon." More than 250 fire and EMS personnel responded, and search efforts in coordination with the NYPD were ongoing Wednesday night. The cause of the collapse is under investigation.
🚨 UPDATE: New York first responders have been desperately searching the rubble all night and EIGHT PEOPLE are confirmed deceased in the building collapse 💔
At least 17 injuries reported as of this morning 🙏🏻 It collapsed into a CONSTRUCTION SITE NEXT DOOR around 4 PM on Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn Several firefighters were hurt. The cause is still under investigation. These heroes are still searching hard.— Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) November 12, 2026

Prices will go up, because Dems don't have any real interest or skill in keeping them down, not when they can turn on the gas lines again: "What? That's not happening! You just watch Fox News."
Price of maintaining a building will climb--especially in NYC, where they probably will try to increase the workman's wage.
But the landlords will have fewer dollars to maintain their buildings because of price control.
It probably would end in the public takeover of rental properties "for the common good".

Like NY, the reporters there think that's all that matters.
There have been several similar shootings across the country already this year. None made national news because they weren't in reporters' backyards.
(Not to say this isn't terrible. It is, but it's also not worthy of nationwide attention. 4 SHOT? Not even killed? Detroit and Chicago have that once or twice a week. (Ok, not quite, but close.)

The site right next to the building was being completely excavated for a new development. It looks like the developer went too far with the excavation, and ended up digging out some of the foundation for the building that collapsed. Pretty clear to me what happened, looking at the pics of the site.
The developer of that site is gonna be sued into oblivion and probably prosecuted.

Red states ought to ban the IRS and declare their states/cities as Taxcheat Sanctuaries.
Ban IRS from court buildings, jail buildings, state buildings.
We'll just have not-quite-property-documented tax payers.
I argued a while back Trump has a hell of a well, Trump card, to play if he wants by just sending the IRS home and declaring a tax amnesty for a year or two.
People will never agree to go back to paying taxes manually and likely this would end the current withholding system

Exactly.
Barack Obama could assert that immigration is completely the jurisdiction and discretion of the federal government.
Blew states could assert that they nonetheless will ban federal enforcement of immigration laws. (Obstructing)
But they probably wouldn't take that for any other federal law enforcement.
Because they're liars and casuists.
They think the federal government should only do what they think the federal government should do. And it should do everything they want the federal government to do.
I'm all about exposing their special pleading and show that they actually DO think they are above the law.

Ask DOJ/FBI/Treasury and in some cases other agencies to compile every form of assistance/cooperation they render to a given jurisdiction. National security, terrorism, serious violence cases - no change. Everything else?

Two Muslim NYPD officers stopped and manhandled a woman for the crime of walking her dog. When her friend, who recorded the incident, threatened to call 911, the Muslim officers replied, "We ARE the 911!"
Any attempt by Muslims to enforce sharia or any precepts of their "religion" upon American citizens should immediately get them prosecution under civil rights law, and a nice fat lawsuit for damages filed against them and their mosque.
And, if possible denaturalization and deportation back to some muslim hellhole like the Sudan.
A fat helping of that would prevent a lot of future problems.

They think Congress can conduct it's own "criminal investigations", when I heard that one of the main weaknesses of the Select Committee on J6 was that as a finding of prosecutable charges, it would have likely gone nowhere. They hold hearings for a basis of law and regulation.
So Trump and Blanche released a statement that Congress critters thinking that they can launch "criminal investigations" might be investigated for obstruction by the DoJ.
And they think it's an obvious sign of corruption that Trump "does not want to be investigated".
The shoplifting of civilization is all around.
"Nobody is above the law", but the Supreme Law of the Land and the separation of powers (and duties) can be willfully ignored because Fascism which can't speak it's name is increasingly popular.

Unless there is a leak, most mold problems are caused by resident in anything built in past 30 years or more.

The Morning Rant
Liberals are mad because ICE removed this woman that was blocking law enforcement https://t.co/f6Y22lqkAG
— Defiant L’s (@DefiantLs) October 31, 2026
I watched that clip about 17 times, because it makes me chuckle. This middle-aged AWFL was confident that the social construct of the empowered woman was sufficient to protect her from the real-world consequences of her actions which, when examined, were nothing more than a physical confrontation with law enforcement. And she lost. Which is to be expected in about 99% of these cases. The time and place for confrontation with law enforcement is when one is before a judge, not on the street. Oh, she thought that because her cause was just and good and approved by the bien-pensants that she would be safe from the physical consequences of her physical act. She was wrong, but her expectation was reasonable because that is what our culture has taught her! And those lessons can be seen across the country in thousands of these sorts of interactions. The earnest but deluded leftist who knocks over a pro-life organization's table at a demonstration is shocked...SHOCKED...to be handcuffed and taken to jail. The septuagenarian lunatic in NH who slaps a Turning Point Action volunteer is stunned by the perfectly reasonable result...arrest! In the old America, most people understood that physical confrontation often led to a punch on the nose or a trip to jail, and that is why girls and women shied away from that sort of behavior. But the rules have changed, and not for the better. Perhaps America needs to return to a time when violence was allowed to develop according to those ancient and rather clever rules. Does that mean that traditional roles are better than the chaos we have today? Absolutely, and those roles were a big part of keeping our society reasonably civil, at least in comparison to the current insanity. Now get off my lawn!

Zillions of people, idiotically, seem to think interfering with law enforcement is just fine, including in dangerous situations where the cops don't really have time to worry about cretins messing up their operation.
The garbage taken out in Mpls were attempting to disrupt apprehension of dangerous felons. You see, if someone's a murder or child molester or violent gang-banger but *also* in the country illegally, THEN it's special and police must not be allowed to do their job.
THIS is the pathologically stupid mindset any intelligent adult in the US is up against. And it extends far beyond the lower-IQ drug addled emoting creatures who make up "movements" or "activists".

Both radio stations had for decades broadcast anti-communist talk radio programs for the local Hispanophone listenership, which is a plurality Cuban and Cuban-American. Radio Mambí in particular was known for hosting popular conservative radio personalities and giving a platform to conservative and anti-communist ideas. Organizations advocating for freedom for Cuba from its communist dictatorship heralded Radio Mambí in 2022 as a critical pillar of the Miami community’s political ecosystem and expressed concern that its takeover by an organization with left-wing associations would dilute, or potentially silence, those voices.

Cambridge is an urban area next to Boston proper. For the last few years they've voted Dem like good little socialists. And they've approved a massive package to expand bike lanes.
And now the city is tripling the fee they charge residents to park and they are:
A) Shocked
B) Outraged
Because of course they are. But to complete the picture, remember the weather in New England is shitty in the winter and you'd be a maniac to ride a bike next to a Boston driver when it is icy - even assuming you are in good enough shape to do so...

I think part of it is that women don't have the "violence guardrails" put in place that men do from a very young age.
Men learn as boys (through fights, bullying, physical sports, and even friendly horseplay) that there are repercussions to using violence, often devastating ones.
Boys learn very quickly that they don't get to hit or push any other boys without getting hit or pushed back. And when fights do break out, often the "winner" is the one with one black eye instead of two.
So by the time they are adults, men have established "guardrails" to violence that helps keep their impulses in check.
Women do not learn this. They seem to be almost unaware that if you hit someone, they hit back.

Woman stops in the middle of the street, gets out of her car and starts ranting at the male driver sitting in his car behind her. Dude gets out and the woman goes berserk at him. After some jawing back and forth, the woman goes hands on the male driver. Dude picks her up and pile drives her WWE-style onto the road, then gets in his car and drives away.
Video ends with her a crying, blubbering mess of a heap in the road.
I watched that one multiple times, too.

Chauvin followed SOP (matching that of hundreds of departments around the country). Medical examiner confirmed (easily) that cause of death was cardiac nature due to multiples of lethal fentanyl concentration in bloodstream. Floyd "couldn't breathe" while sitting in the back of the police SUV - didn't start on the ground.
Nearby fire/EMT team failed to show up (still not explained) as quickly as they probably should have - might, might not, have saved the human garbage Floyd. Chauvin and team might have made mistakes, but nothing rising to criminal negligence, not within a light year thereof, in context.
"Trial" lacked only a Vyshinsky abusing the defendant. Simply stunning what a farce Chauvin's trial was, in every respect. Excellent illustration of what a farce our "justice" system is. Crude, histrionically baseless and unconstitutional lynching, pure and simple.

The left has absolutely no system from which to judge good or bad actions. "Good" or "Bad" actions simply don't exist. All that exists are "Good" or "Bad" thoughts.
If you think Good Thoughts, ANY action you take is de facto good because it was in the service of Good Thoughts. Want world peace and an end to global warming? Assault Condi Rice. Want Trans Rights for Furries? Kill Charlie Kirk. Want Medicare for All? Kill a healthcare CEO.
To the left, actions have no bearing whatsoever. Only intentions matter.
To the right, intentions have no bearing whatsoever. Only actions matter.

Turning Point Bet on the Midterms and Lost. Some Republicans Are Furious.
Candidates backed by the right-wing activist group did not fare well, and the results set off recriminations from establishment Republicans.
The New York Times is sending a message that if a group you don't like is successfully challenging you politically, kill the leader and then kick the headless organization around for its weak leadership.

Not deplorables! They're saving the world, saving themselves.
The core critique of Pro Birth 'movement' is that it is inconsistent to demand that a pregnancy be carried to term while simultaneously opposing government or systemic support to help feed, clothe, house, and educate that child as they grow up.
I watch them choose to have no children of their own, abort "until, unless they're ready" to parent, or - the worse - have their own children and neglect and abuse them in non-conventional ways for civil society.
Locally and frequently, once the biological clock is ticking loudly, often (depending on one's class) marrying the undocumented, visa overstays, etc., often taking their children - maybe born in the USA - as their own is a preference.
Doesn't it become almost impossible to sort out between states' rights and separate legislatures?
And it also bleeds over to many an adult, unmarried man.
Good & Pieretti.

That's one of my points, they've moved on to Marx, who did not invent the word "socialism", just an idea of a logistical plan to get there.
Robert Owen did invent the word. It means just what so many 20th century Dems liberals believed: "Society" is the problem. "Fix Society" and you fix all problems.
And you can't fix individual problems, which are symptoms of the disfunction of "Society".
He's just reverted to Gordian Knot 20th-century liberalism.

You are not incorrect, but I am using in the sense of definition #2:
flaunt /flônt/
intransitive verb
1. To exhibit ostentatiously or shamelessly: synonym: show.
"flaunts his trendy clothes; flaunts his knowledge about music."
Similar: show
2. To ignore or disregard (a rule, for example) openly or scornfully.
Also, why limit yourself to a fixed number of corrections? Besides the fact that's flouting Commentator cultural norms, Wesley Crusher does it all the time.

He was edgy and vulgar at a time when that seemed to be all you needed as a comic. I never understood Chappelle's popularity or how much money was thrown at him for all this shows.
Yea, he was smarter and better than most of the cringey crap dogshit that passes for "comedy" these days, but I never found him that funny or even entertaining.

In July 2016, Grace was beaten, drugged, and raped by Jacob Sullivan inside the family's home in Quakertown, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, while Sara Packer watched. Grace was strangled the next day, and her body was concealed and later dismembered with a bow saw before being dumped in Luzerne County, where hunters discovered her remains on October 31, 2016. Sara Packer filed a false missing person report and continued to collect disability funds.
Sara Packer was deeply involved in the foster care and adoption system, both professionally as a county supervisor and privately as a foster parent. Her insider knowledge of child welfare agencies played a major role in how she evaded oversight for years.

Her foster mother, a second grade school teacher with history of child abuse. Although a state Act 33 review recommended that Williams never be allowed to foster children again, criminal charges were not filed at the time due to inconsistent testimony, and Williams eventually appealed and regained clearance to foster.
In the decade between the 2016 murder of 14-year-old Grace Packer and the November 2026 murder of 10-year-old Malayshia Allford, key child welfare reforms in Pennsylvania repeatedly stalled due to legislative inaction, administrative delays, strict privacy laws, and a fragmented, county-run oversight structure.
The child welfare reform package known as "Grace's Law" was reintroduced during the 2025–2026 legislative session of the Pennsylvania General Assembly under updated bill numbers. Despite renewed advocacy, the package remains pending in committee without final passage.
Cherish Melania Trump for trying to protect Foster Care children & change the system.

Yeah, I know it goes back to Rousseau.
Marx first real big audience was the recalcitrant Jacobin revolutionaries in Paris.
It's my theory that Rousseau is the main event here, Owen a financier who tried communes, and Marx more of a footnote than he appears these days.
But it's all for the religion that atheists populate: Future Solvation.

Long ago we agreed it was bad to hit girls. But, in exchange, girls were supposed to be demure, and not instigate fights. Now we get women thinking they can't be hit, and instigating fights.

Spenser Rapone, a self-described "revolutionary socialist" who was drummed out of the Army after declaring his support for communism and calling for violence against Republicans, has taken up residence at the University of Chicago, where he specializes in "modern Arab intellectual history" and the "history of the modern Middle East," among other subjects.
In addition to his well-known communist bona fides, Rapone has also picked up a taste for Islamic extremism—which he now freely posts about on his public X page. His most inflammatory public pronouncements are in Arabic and remain live on X.
"Glory to the martyred leader Yahya Sinwar," he said on Oct. 18, 2024, shortly after Israel killed the Hamas boss, who masterminded the Oct. 7 massacre.

Oh and one part not often talked about, at the start of the campaign the Helvetii had decided to move from near what is now Switzerland into southern Gaul. Julius defeated them militarily, enslaved a bunch of them, and forced the survivors to return back to their own lands.

D.C. Councilmember Brooke Pinto shared a statement on social media confirming that the shooting took place "at and outside" the Vida Fitness gym, and asking people to stay away from the area. MPD has not yet confirmed the location.
A witness in the gym at the time of the shooting told News4 that she heard gunshots while on the treadmill. When she heard the gunshots, she and others in the gym ran out of the building and took shelter in the nearby Call Your Mother deli.
"We heard really loud, aggressive gunshots. Not like pistols or anything," Vasquez said. "We saw people running in.
Situational awareness of a potato. Gunshots OUTSIDE of gym. Let's run outside and go hide.

Eyewitness was interviewed and said the shooter started firing a shotgun at people in the elevator with him. Same witness also explained that the police were there with semi-auto rifles and bolt guns so it sounds like he knows enough about weapons to at least make the distinction.

Cambridge is an urban area next to Boston proper. For the last few years they've voted Dem like good little socialists. And they've approved a massive package to expand bike lanes.
And now the city is tripling the fee they charge residents to park and they are:
A) Shocked
B) Outraged
Because of course they are. But to complete the picture, remember the weather in New England is shitty in the winter and you'd be a maniac to ride a bike next to a Boston driver when it is icy - even assuming you are in good enough shape to do so...

I don't know what internal hatches they left open and closed. I read they pumped water in via two firehoses rather than opening valves or blowing holes in the hull. That's why she took so long to go down (phrasing!). So I don't know if how she sank is how it was planned.
Interesting how air trapped inside keeps venting and bubbling to the surface for quite a while after she went under.

Henri-Paul Motte (1846-1922)
This is amazing!
*Vercingétorix Se Rend À César* (Vercingetorix Surrendering to Caesar) is an 1886 academic history painting by French artist Henri-Paul Motte (1846–1922). (Wikiart)
The historic surrender of the Gallic chieftain Vercingétorix to the Roman general Julius Caesar after the Battle of Alesia in 52 BC.
Unlike other famous romanticized epictions (such as Lionel Royer’s 1899 version), Motte's painting shows Vercingétorix arriving on horseback at the gate or camp of the Roman fortification, with Caesar seated or positioned at a distance.
Painted in the Academic / Classical style, reflecting 19th-century French historical painting traditions where Motte studied under Jean-Léon Gérôme.
I'm unfamiliar with the artist but now find his paintings fabulous!

From zerohedge.
Hoax bomb threats emailed to thousands of schools forced evacuations across Italy on Wednesday, and the same kind of message landed in schools in Ireland, Scotland and Northern Ireland, a week after a wave of bomb threats diverted flights across Europe. Italy's Education Ministry said the email reached about 6,000 schools, and at least 300 were evacuated, ANSA reported.
"We have come to annihilate you. We will carry out a genocide against the Italians" (translated), the email read, according to Il Sole 24 Ore. It claimed a "powerful device" (translated) had been left in a plastic bag "with a remote detonator" (translated), and another line claimed a bomb had been planted in the engine of the prime minister's car. It was signed "Mikhail Antropov, leader of the Vilayat of Misoginistan" (translated), a name Italian reports also spell Andropov.

The ACTIVE SHOOTER in Washington DC has barricaded himself inside of an apartment on the seventh floor on the 1500 block of 15th Street NW, where a BARRICADE has been officially declared by MPD’s ERT.
Several shots have just been fired AT POLICE through the door, causing SWAT officers to have to temporarily retreat and reposition themselves.
The shooter had also been walking around intentionally setting fires across several different locations along Church Street NW and 15th Street NW.
DC Police have put a lookout for a ‘White male, heavy built, wearing gray shorts with a gray and black gun.’
US Secret Service are also investigating the report of shots fired near 12th Street and R Street NW, however that is unfounded thus far.

Gateway Pundit.
Here’s something for you to contemplate as you consider concerns about election integrity: Do the algorithms that Andrew Paquette, Ph.D., has found surreptitiously embedded in current state board of election voter rolls suggest intelligence agents have decided to bypass voters to vote election simulations?
As documented on GodsFiveStones.com, Paquette has found secret algorithms in the board of election voter registration databases in New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Hawaii, and Texas, with ongoing examinations underway in Arizona and Georgia.
The algorithms appear designed to hide critical voter attribute information, allowing the people who developed the scheme to create and hide “non-existent voters” capable of being assigned legitimate state voter IDs. Once created, the algorithms can vote certifiable mail-in ballots for enough “non-existent voters” to steal an election from an opponent who won through legitimate votes.

It’s certain we go out asses whooped. But when almost every county moves in one direction and 1.6 million new voters show up, more than the general (which has never happened) something seems rotten in Denmark.
I don’t think we should spend a ton of time on this but it needs to be followed to the end. As Texas goes so does the nation and if we don’t hustle and get a bunch of new registered voters and move things in our direction, this thing is over.

No, God damn it, they lived outside what was supposed to be Rome's bailiwick, and actually went so far as to apply to Rome for permission in advance to migrate, as many tribes did regularly. Caesar realized that they would be in a momentary position of weakness and did what mafia punk Romans were famous for, stabbing a neutral noncombatant in the back. I've got your "reform" right here.

Following his surrender, Vercingetorix was imprisoned in the Roman state prison, the Tullianum, where he remained in captivity for six years.
In 46 BC, he was publicly displayed in Caesar's triumph, which had been delayed due to the civil war (49–45 BC), then executed in the Tullianum in August or September that year, possibly by strangulation.

The Mamertine Prison (historically known as the Carcer Tullianum) is famous as Rome's oldest maximum-security dungeon and a prominent site in both Roman history and Christian tradition.
Built around the 7th century BC near the Roman Forum, it was not used for long-term imprisonment or common criminals, but as a temporary holding cell for high-profile political prisoners, traitors, and defeated foreign kings awaiting execution (typically by starvation, strangulation, or beheading).
(Aside, nearly 6 years in the dark, windowless stone chamber while Julius Caesar fought the Roman Civil War (49–45 BC) seems extremely harsh & long term. Death may have been release.)
Notable figures held and executed there include Vercingetorix (the leader of the Gallic resistance against Julius Caesar), Jugurtha (King of Numidia), and the conspirators of Catiline.

______
The majority of black voters don't actually physically vote. Their votes are harvested, both legally and illegally, and cast by the local democrap machine.
This is all assisted by the local black activists, warlords, and even black churches. They are nicely paid for all their work, and the "voters" get cigarettes, booze, or some other minor compensation.
Ask any resident of any housing project or ghetto in any city when was the last time they voted, and they'll almost always say "I just hand my ballot to the guy that comes around every few years with cigarettes."

The Morning Report — 11/12 /26
A Brooklyn building collapsed into a massive pile of rubble Wednesday, killing at least two people and injuring 17 — including four critically — as firefighters desperately search for more victims buried underneath the wreck in a harrowing scene. Loved ones made frantic calls for help after the three-story apartment building at Newkirk and Flatbush Avenues fell into an active construction site next door at around 4 p.m., witnesses said. Officials warned that the number of victims would likely increase. Rescue crews don’t know how many people from the building are still missing as the dire and dangerous search for any survivors continued into the night and is expected to stretch for days.As many of you know, I am a former New Yorker, so this story really hits close to home in that I not only hail from Brooklyn but my childhood home is not even a mile from the site of the collapse. And speaking of collapses, the hits just keep on coming for NYC.
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani signed a law giving nonprofit organizations the first opportunity to purchase distressed residential buildings. . . Covered properties include multifamily buildings with four or more units that are in significant disrepair, as well as buildings with affordability restrictions governed by HPD regulatory agreements. By creating a pathway for responsible community-based ownership, COPA will ensure that these properties are repaired, maintained and operated in partnership with tenants rather than left to deteriorate by negligent owners.Obviously given the players involved here, the terms "responsible" and "negligent owners" are quite fungible. You better believe that property inspectors will be fully vetted for their political allegiances to no one but the Democrat Socialites. That means that a distressed property will be defined as one whose owner is the Trump organization or someone similar. The Democrats believe that having a home is a human right. Not for the rightful owner of a property but every indigent, layabout, vagrant and illegal alien in our midst. After all America was colonized by white supremacist foreigners and so the other favorite Leftist word is in equal force: Liberation
Thanksgiving Is a 'Day of Mourning,' Lesson Plan Recommended to Loudoun County Second Graders Says. . . Public school teachers in Loudoun County, Virginia, looking to teach their students about American holidays can draw from a list of district-approved lesson plans, including one recommended for second graders that declares Thanksgiving a "Day of Mourning" and another that calls Columbus Day a "Debated Celebration," documents obtained via a public records request and shared exclusively with the Washington Free Beacon show.My own personal view is that Thanksgiving is a day of Liberation, in that civilized, advanced, cultured superior people liberated a continent from savage heathen rapists, pedophiles, and subhuman cannibals and bringing them the priceless benefits of civilization. In any case if you think what's going on in Loudon County is a one-off, you better think again. Because what happened to us on Election Day and really since the Swinging 60s if not earlier, get ready for your kids and grandkids to get it right in the head! Because the revolution must be generational and forever.
The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) made huge political gains in the midterms.

Basically, the 2028 GOP Presidential nominee will need to get Trump numbers just to be competitive with the number of new ballot registrations the donks have slip streamed.
We're in a completely different political landscape now where every election mid-term, presidential, dog catcher, etc. needs maximal effort.
The GOP does not have a taxpayer funded army of psychopaths, lunatics and true believers to register ballots and get those ballots tabulated.
They're still counting votes in Alaska and elsewhere, we could be staring down the barrel of 265-170 house and a 55-44-1 Senate.
And if sh*t really goes bad in 28, we could be looking at a DSA President with a supermajority in the Senate.

Ugly mutants who are consumed with hate and vengeance.
Yet some still respond to their horrid behavior with shaming, as if there is some moral core inside them to reach.
There is not.
We need to build a theory of mind for them that is as alien to us as the muslim's or cultist's mind:
"Good" is not objective.
Good is defined by what you say and believe.
And if you say and believe what is "good," nothing you ever do--violence, murder, lying, cheating, stealing, etc.--is wrong.

Surely, anything politically advantageous will obviously be targeted.
But you're thinking small. Mamdani's thinking big.
As soon as I heard of this plan a couple months ago, I knew exactly what this was. It's a plan to seize large amounts of the world's most valuable real estate and hand it over to DSA aligned NGOs, make his donors powerful landlords in the city, run off existing landowners so he can seize more, and rake off a huge amount of $$$ for the Party in the process.
It's a money laundry and a feudal aristocrat power play rolled into one. And of course, as the new one-party future unfolds, those buildings will be packed to the rafters with the dusky third-world serfs the Lords bring in to replace existing NYers.
Big tracts of that city will be indistinguishable from Karachi and Mumbai, before you can say "Inshallah."

At some point when emotions cool people need to start looking at the numbers to see what happened. Democrats imported 20 million illegals under Biden on top of the ones already here. Many states don't require proof of citizenship to register to vote. Blue states fought the DOJ to hide their voter rolls. Democrats fought to kill the Save Act.
Democrats built an army of new voters that makes it virtually impossible for us to win many races, even in places like Texas.
Look at this chart. This is impossible other than by Democrats cheating and adding new "voters".

Even if all of them go to Peltola (they won't), that's still not enough to make her break 50%. In that case, Heikes will be eliminated and the second choice of his voters will come into play. Almost all of those are going to go to "Real" Dan, IMO.
I could be wrong here, but I'm not setting my hair on fire just yet.
Candidates State Totals
Peltola, Mary (DEM) 48.9% 121,487
Sullivan, "Real" Dan S. (REP) 47.3% 117,512
Heikes, Gerald L. (REP) 2.2% 5,426
Sullivan, "Fake" Daniel J. Jr. 1.6% 4,100

Yes, that's what they did, but there is no solution to what they did.
The donks are turning out Presidential level numbers in mid-term and special elections.
They have a taxpayer funded army to execute this, the GOP can barely scrape together 1 Scott Pressler.
We had a guy named Charlie Kirk who was building an election organizing operation to rival what the donks had in place.

Already, they had convinced the majority of America that vote ID is racist--none of their states required it.
(And voter ID would have made no difference in this election.)
But the real reason the Dems had to kill the SAVE Act at all costs:
- citizenship verification
- private right of action to enforce
Yet no Republican has introduced those as stand-alone measures ....

Then Trump got cheated 4 years after that… followed by the miracle of 2024. Going back even further, Clinton got his ass kicked in the 94 midterms and won reelection easily 2 years later.

The GOP does not have a taxpayer funded army of psychopaths, lunatics and true believers to register ballots and get those ballots tabulated.
They're still counting votes in Alaska and elsewhere, we could be staring down the barrel of 265-170 house and a 55-44-1 Senate.
And if sh*t really goes bad in 28, we could be looking at a DSA President with a supermajority in the Senate.

Nonsense. Murky survived being FUCKING PRIMARIED, long before RCV was even instituted. I know it's somehow become an article of faith here that Murky's longevity has something to do with RCV, but it doesn't. At all. Perhaps it might be advisable to look into why this ACTUALLY occurred, rather than going to a facile (and idiotic) "explanation" of why it occurred.
As for the governorship, that's still not determined either. The Democrat has 49.64%, with the other 50.3% split among three Republicans. Almost all of those will be reassigned to the top Republican, Wilson. The winner will be the person who breaks 50%.

I’m not usually one to criticize Trump, but the execution of the Iran strategy has been choppy at best. He eventually arrived at what I think is the right approach which is blockade and slow strangulation. His numerous mistakes all involved his penchant for negotiating (complete waste of time) and his many proclamations claiming victory or a deal etc… he’d have been much better off simply executing the blockade and continuing to echo US Grant: the only terms are complete and unconditional surrender.

Talarico got more votes in a midterm election than any politician of either party in any race other than Trump. He is an absolute weirdo that might have a chance in San Francisco or some other liberal bastion but statewide in Texas? With that many votes? He even took off 2 weeks of campaigning and disappeared. Yet he got more early votes than Paxton got total votes.

Icing on the cake. Texas is the cake.
Congress has abdicated all its power to the executive branch over the last century, which has become so entrenched that if the Article I branch ever tries to claw back so much as an ounce of it, it will spark a real crisis - one that these unprincipled swindlers could never screw up the moral courage to confront.
It has become a ceremonial body with an advisory role, and that role shrinks even more every four years. So in that sense, this midterm doesn't matter much.
But for Texas. I thought we had another 1-2 cycles before it went, but it happened now, and that's checkmate. As long as they can rig the system up there (which they can and will), the executive branch's limitless potential is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Democrat Party - no more pesky Trumps will be wrenching up the deep state works ever again.

So I was just able to find better results, apparently the GOP candidate has 49 pct and the independent candidate has 40 pct, the donk candidate has 7.5 pct the libertarian candidate has 2.67 pct.
but because of retarded RCV, and depending on second choices and how the computers redistribute the votes, the house seat for the GOP candidate is still in doubt.

At this point, we have lost to the Left. Optimistically, we may look at as the equivalent of the First Battle of Bull Run. But to take this view would suggest that our leaders are aware of the war we're in and the nature of the enemy and its designs. I think that may one optimistic step too far.

The deadline for absentee ballots is November 15. So no, they won't be "counting until Christmas". And this doesn't have anything to do with "RCV", either. Alaska has long had a lenient deadline for receipt of absentee ballot, simply because there are a lot of places here where the mail can...take a while... to move.

Not quite yet. I have been thinking through how to execute on a secession movement for a long time, and am currently trying to work out the nuts and bolts of how to approach it. The basic germ of the idea came from the Dems, and their NPV pact, and the Solidarity movement in Poland/Baltic states.
Of course, there will be no political party backing this play, and it will have to be a grass roots movement that initially relies solely on passage of initiative amendments to State constitutions, then initiative legislation forcing constitutional conventions where that isn't possible, and exploitation of automatic convention measures in a few others.
But I think if people in even just 5 or 10 states can be convinced to pull the trigger, the federal government and its forces will be unable to stop it, and once the others see people grabbing their freedom and self-determination it will snowball into regime collapse.
And it's by no means necessary that they all be red states, either.
It sounds impossible now. But demand for this will grow and grow in the coming years. We have to build it if we want them to come, tho.

This is a good place to start. DataRepublican has been dropping posts on X that lay out the players and potential coming steps. It's long with lots of supporting documents, recordings and videos that were given to DR by someone, she won't say who.
But remember, she along with a couple other people like Cynical Publius were DOD contractors for a while. She is not without contacts. And what she is posting is not her conjecture but stuff from the people behind this plot.

The midterms aren't really that hard to understand. There really is a deep state and many of our elected officials are part of it. The left has been working for years to flood our country with illegals. Dem states, mostly but some Rs, have loosing voting and registration laws for years and hiding their voter rolls. We have no idea who is actually "voting" now but they do. That's how you get a presidential year turnout for Democrats in a midterm.

Uh, no. We are not fighting with votes; that game was ended early in the last century. We are fighting ideology, indoctrination, and tyranny and those enemies are not resisted by quaint votes. Voting is for homogeneous populations to decide on details of social order already established. This is not that.

Conservatives still stupidly believe the courts are holy and sacred.
Until conservatives have a strategy that includes "defy and ignore the courts," all of this is just "if I won the lottery" dreams.
The left has an endless supply of judges who will rubber-stamp anything they want--no matter what the voters vote for.
Example: They don't need to impeach or remove Hegseth. That's just a "nice to have."
They'll get a judge to order the military to do whatever their color revolution requires.
And 90% of conservatives will be "hur-dee-dur, the judge ruled, we must follow the judge."

🚨 BREAKING: President Trump has officially SHOT DOWN reports he's considering VP JD Vance to make a face-to-face deal with Iran — instead focusing JD 100% on blue state corruption and fraud
"We don’t need a deal with Iran. Those days have long since passed. We’ve got their money, Hundreds of Billions of Dollars, and we’ve got their Strait!"
"I have asked Vice President Vance to focus his complete and total attention on the Massive Corruption and Crime taking place in Democrat run Cities and States throughout the U.S. The Blue States, such as Minnesota, California, Illinois, and many more, are all poorly run, corrupt disasters. Billions of Dollars is being stolen each and every month. Our Budget could be quickly BALANCED with the correction of this large scale criminal activity.

NVDIA: Watch for the DS appointee. cthSCHMIDT?
Epstein succeeded by positioning himself at the intersection where private greed, elite compromise, and intelligence operations met. By acting as a financial fixer who could bridge billionaires, foreign leaders, and covert state networks, he allegedly became too useful—and eventually too dangerous—to expose until his operations completely imploded under public scrutiny. However, official records still officially classify his crimes as a massive, criminal conspiracy engineered by Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell for personal power, extortion, and abuse, rather than a confirmed, sanctioned state operation.
Deep State: Success, yes, but only on their terms.
Considered a warning shot to all the other MAGA/Trump allies; TRUMP needs to respond by indicting/exposing Brennan's collusion -- and the Epstein class will do the work for him...

Hegseth says the operations in Iran, Venezuela and Yemen were lawful. Maybe. But lawfulness is not something an officeholder certifies for himself at a press conference in Arlington. Congress handed that judgment away one vague authorization at a time, under both parties, and a committee referral is what the bill coming due looks like.

In Exodus, God and Jethro (a Midianite priest) both impressed upon Moses the extreme importance of having "Just Justice" (apparently they were steeped in social justice and other fake-justice) and having well qualified, God fearing, righteous judges. They also had high demands on witnesses, not only did it make the Decalogue written twice in stone, but serious perjury consequences that were so strict that Jews today largely feel that God went overboard and wasn't serious.
And what we have are insane demons who hate "just justice" and want to inflict sadistic "decisions".

Sorry, but I doubt it. They will cause so much damage and recruit many more future "voters that they will have changed the country forever. There is only one way this can be reversed, but with the mindset among the population, that's an outlier. Our side doesn't fight. The left is constantly on the move. 24/7. The midterms are the result.

There was nothing illegal about what Hegseth, and by extension the Commander in Chief did. The left hates what Hegseth is doing with the military they worked hard to destroy. And they need Hegseth out of the way.
They will impeach him again after the new members are sworn in and Democrats have the majority. Then we will see how many Republican in the Senate can be bought.

I'd say 50% probability of Taiwanese or Taiwanese-American, 50% white American.
Looking at the org chart, NVIDIA has almost no Indians among upper management.
East Asians (especially Chinese/Taiwanese) and Indians hate each other's guts.
I remember in grad school I'd sometimes see Chinese or Taiwanese students eating lunch with white students, and sometimes see Indian students eating lunch with white students, but I don't recall ever seeing Chinese and Indian students eating lunch together other than as part of a large mixed group along with whites. Even then the Chinese students would all sit at the same table or tables and the Indians would do likewise. You'd never see them sitting together.

"In short, COPA functions as a first step rather than a complete financial solution.

Another: "Sanders’ proposal to abolish Medicare represents far more than just a political bait-and-switch. It also reveals how Democrats view Medicare not as a sacred bond to help our nation’s elderly and individuals with disabilities, but rather as a slush fund to be raided to finance their next big-government scheme."
It's a more sophisticated, more revealing build off of the ACA. IMO, of course.

• Return of Pre-2021 Rules. Following the expiration at the end of 2025, standard ACA subsidy rules returned for the 2026 and 2027 plan years.
• Higher Out-of-Pocket Costs. Because the subsidy cliff returned, households earning above 400% of the FPL once again pay full unsubsidized prices. According to a May 2026 KFF analysis, average monthly net premium payments across all Marketplace consumers jumped 58% in 2026 (from $113 to $17
, and many enrollees shifted to lower-premium, higher-deductible Bronze plans to offset the loss of federal aid.
It's a frigging scam & pocketbook! Leaving ADULTS on parents' insurance is one of the most damaging things of the ACA, but seems the only way to keep afloat.
Taking the time to read, "an older couple with 2 kids in college" would likely greatly reduce their insurance payments by having their 24 to 26 year "kids" get their own $0 to minimum payment medical insurance through a variety of sources, including Medicaid if applicable.

As a young larva in primary school, I was taught that Thanksgiving Day is a "Day of giving Thanks" (Duh!) for the bountiful (a cornucopia of) food they harvested with the help of the native American Continent peoples' assistance. According to legend, they invited the native Americans to share their food with their own food as a coalition and mutual benefit. That is NOT liberation! That is an implied agreement of co-existence.
That said, native America Continent people, being tribal, were not the benign, peaceful, conservationists being propagandized, but constantly waring factions over revenge, land resources use rights, and stealing.
The legendary Thanksgiving Pilgrims had not accepted the reality of their presence in The New World. In no way shape or form did they "Liberate" native Americans from their tribal animosities.

TheBareNews runs one plain factual account of that, then two columns arguing what it means. The Left says affordability and hospitals beat the culture war, and that national Democrats had written the state off for years. The Right says Republicans lost a state they had treated as inherited land, that the symbolism explains less than the hospital closures do, and that the fix is certificate-of-need and reimbursement reform rather than another messaging memo. Reading the two against each other is the point.

So about six trillion.
There's more, but it's now commonly behind proxies or services like Cloudflare that mitigate attacks of various kinds.
In this case the bug is restricted to HTTP/2, so if you remove the entries for h2 and h2c from your configuration file so that it falls back to HTTP/1 you're safe and you shouldn't notice any difference. It will be a little slower, but if you're not Google you won't care.
- There's a new AWS emulator out from... Oh. There's a new AWS emulator out from AWS. (GitHub)
We heard you liked AWS so we put AWS in your AWS so you can AWS while you AWS.
- Cloud platform N-able - of which I have never heard until this moment - currently isn't. (Bleeping Computer)
Someone found and published 30 "zero-day" vulnerabilities all at once so they locked and bolted the door. And the windows, floor, ceiling, air ducts, and everything else, while they scrambled to fix them.
Apparently all fixed now.
Just in time for Apache to rain on their picnic.

Kimberly Powell is Nvidia’s vice president for healthcare, a 48-year-old engineer who has worked at the company since 2008 and reports directly to CEO Jensen Huang. On Wednesday, The New York Times reported that she and Huang had had an extramarital affair, citing five people who had worked at the company. A few hours later, The Wall Street Journal reported that Nvidia’s board was preparing to remove Huang following two extramarital affairs, one of them with a woman suspected of being a Chinese spy. Powell has not spoken publicly.

Steve Jobs got himself a second bite at Apple.
And he built it back better than it ever was and set the company on the path to being the the most valuable tech company in the world not long after his death.
Jensen may have to follow a similar path if he's fired.
Start a new company, he's surely got the capital, like Jobs did with Pixar and wait, maybe forever, for Nvidia to ask him back.
It's a longshot but he's still got a couple of decades left in life to bore himself to death otherwise.

Having less charm than Job is certainly not a plus.
If I had to guess on what Jensen might do, I'd say some startup AI or Agentic AI company.
I doubt he'd get back into chip design, far too much work and he doesn't want to compete against his own stock portfolio.

54.1 degrees out.
And with a sad note, the SS United States completed it's planned sinking about 6 hours ago, settling onto the gulf floor about 22 miles off the coast of Florida.
Interestingly, unlike most planned sinking, there were no explosives used in the process.
Still...a sad moment.

He's got estimated to be worth around $150 billion.
He's got the capital to do just about anything he wants to do on a much smaller scale than Nvidia.
I have no idea what he'll do, but I'm sure as high energy as he is he'll want to do something just so he won't be sitting around all day watching CNBC.
And this is California we are talking about.
If he offers people a good enough deal he can hire somebody within a 150 mile radius of Silicon Valley, I'm sure.
They aren't really big on traditional moral judgements out there, especially if the paycheck and stock options are good enough.
Like I said, though, I have no clue what he'll do if the Nvidia board cans him.

That's what I thought. But I wasn't sure:
- Can a ship be scuttled without it sinking? Like, if you beach the thing and turn it into a museum or something, is that "scuttling", or just "decomissioning" in general?
- Is it still called scuttling if you sink your own ship unintentionally? (Think German U-Boat Overengineered Shitter Mishaps)

Slept okay, with a confused dream about interviewing at a programming company after being invited to do so by a girl I apparently used to date (and who looked like a young Parker Posey). All I had to show them about my work was a description of what several programs I'd written did and how they solved whatever problem I'd been assigned. One guy looked and said "You don't have any Overeating Dogs in this," and then giggled to show he wasn't serious.
I was glad to wake up.

Well, my computer that I use for work will no longer boot up. Turn it on and it cycles repeatedly through the Dell symbol and the I've-turned-off indication. Ran diagnostics that seem to indicate that it's a hard drive problem. Don't know if it's the motherboard or the hard drive. Any insights welcome.
Posted by: Hadrian the Seventh at November 12, 2026 05:47 AM (eRlcH)
If it's Dell that can be tricky.
They use proprietary parts which may not be easily diagnosed.
If it's a HDD then you could try to clone it, maybe, and start over with the new one. If it's actually running a diagnostic it can't be completely trashed.
Could be something as simple as a loose connection cable, motherboard input going bad, or a HDD going out.

The new Laco pilot watch performs well. I received it, wound it, and set it at 4 pm yesterday, so I have a benchmark to check its accuracy and to wind it every day. The hands were still visible in my dark bedroom after 6.5 hours -- not brightly, but clear enough for my dark-adapted vision to see the time.

Had this on a refurbished laptop. Two "loose connector" issues caused two separate problems:
1) Backlight of screen working intermittently: Had to disassemble the bezel around the screen and carefully disconnect and reconnect the screen's connector/cable into the motherboard. Whoever refurbished the computer wasn't careful in this regard.
2) Went to boot up one day and ... nothing. Couldn't see the SSD in the BIOS. Disassembled the main case, took out the metal tray where the SSD or NVME is plugged in and ... oh look. The NVME has slidden out of the socket and is just laying there in the metal carrier tray. Cause: Refurbisher didn't put the hold-down screw in at the end of the NVME to make sure it didn't pop out of the connection slot, which it will eventually with a laptop because you're moving it around from location to location and it gets jostled and bumped.
Now that I've fixed both of those problems, the system works just fine. Refurbs aren't necessarily all they're cracked up to be. Desktops are easier to take apart and work on over laptops, for sure.

Flat fixed, tires rotated and balanced an hour and a half later (it was sro when I got there and sro when I left - and they are quick) no cost and it's on the way home to call it a day and have a cool one.

>>Again, I'm extrapolating wildly, perhaps, but i could be right.
As noted previously, all but three states allow early voting, most states have sh*t voter registration validation, the donks have simply registered millions upon millions of more ballots.
I'm no longer referring to voters, as voters are largely irrelevant, all that matters is a tabulated ballot, as flesh and blood voters have been decoupled from the ballot for the most part.
Election day has morphed into election season and the donks have capitalized on the shit election system.
The size of their victory is so vast and wide that it's going to take a decade or more just to get back to the knife edge we had previously.

They do well on the basic stuff.
But when it comes to real precision work, our local shop struggles.
Mrs VIA's 2013 Miata, like all Miatas is very sensitive to tire balance and wheel straightness.
Three tries with their Road Force balancing unit revealed 'no issues' but a persistent vibration issue that was unsolvable, and needed to be solved in order for us to take it to that year's TxMoMe.
Finally traveled from outside Charleston to a small wheel shop outside of Ft Bragg for a look.
Three rims needed work, and they rebalanced the new tires the old school way.
That car never rode so smooth, and I'm talking 100mph+ on safe stretches of interstate just to check how she felt.
I will buy tires from DT, but their mounting and balancing has disappointed me.

No doubt.
I've still got a Toshiba laptop from like 2010 that I stopped using because the screen won't turn on. I had to hook it to a TV to use it. Probably a bad ribbon cable, but I never cared enough to try and get it fixed because I had an iMac by then and rarely used the laptop.

Trump claims that the U.S. has already won the war against Iran, but he acknowledges that the conflict is not over yet and will end when the U.S. decides. Tensions remain high, with Iran rejecting U.S. concessions and threatening military action

Implications for Diplomacy
The situation remains tense, with diplomatic efforts ongoing but facing significant challenges. Iran's refusal to yield on key issues complicates the potential for a peaceful resolution.

Memory is an obvious choice. The established players are refusing to expand capacity, using the excuse of memory (ahem) of the last boom/bust, that killed most of the previous big players due to overextension. But this isn't a normal business cycle thing, so if he believes AI has permanently raised the demand floor, there's market share being (deliberately) left on the table, which a sufficiently bored rich man could grab.
In fact, didn't we just read the other day about how one of Musk's planned factories will be 70% memory? You could not have a better validation to point to in recruiting people.

The embargo, military and financial, is likely the USA's best hope but that is going to take time and even that isn't guaranteed to work. Plus the Khmer Bleu are going to cause havoc starting in about 6 weeks; the Iranians knows this.

That is also why the Nvidia item matters more than the capex numbers. A company whose valuation assumes one man makes the decisions just had its board discuss whether that man stays, on a report involving a possible Chinese intelligence connection. Shares fell 8% after hours on a report, not a finding.

Wednesday Night ONT - November 11, 2026 [TRex]
Good evening Horde! The time has come for mid-week shenanigans of the overnight variety. The bar is open and fully stocked. Step up and place your order.
Welcome to the Wednesday night ONT which means another edition of random overnight fun and games. Pull up a chair and join the fun. Good will offerings of amusing puns are encouraged. Pants are optional. Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors. If you're a troll, go away. This is a Tucker, Candace, Megyn, and Bill Kristol free zone. Please. Early morning coming here at Casa Dino, so apologies for being more low profile than usual in the comments. Please don't make a mess of the place. I'd like to get my security deposit back. Today is Veteran's Day. Thank you to all who serve. [Top photo:Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.]One Southern California dinosaur is back in its natural environment on Monday after facing near extinction. A large green dinosaur from a Sinclair gas station in San Joaquin County, California, was stolen on Oct. 27, per CBS News. Police investigated the stolen dinosaur, which left a trail toward Stockton, where it was found with a black bag over its head. A suspect was arrested - albeit not the person the dinosaur was ultimately found with, who claimed they had no idea the dinosaur was stolen. Deputies returned the dinosaur to the gas station it was originally stationed at on Monday. But before doing so, the deputies who rescued it took several photos to celebrate their achievement.
Some of you may have Morons on your shopping list and are wondering what to get them for gifts. Neither Ace of Spades or the Wednesday ONT officially endorse these personal hygiene products but who doesn't appreciate the aroma of gunpowder?
I have, myself, full confidence that if all do their duty, if nothing is neglected, and if the best arrangements are made, as they are being made, we shall prove ourselves once again able to defend our Island home, to ride out the storm of war, and to outlive the menace of tyranny, if necessary for years, if necessary alone. At any rate, that is what we are going to try to do. That is the resolve of His Majesty's Government - every man of them. That is the will of Parliament and the nation. The British Empire and the French Republic, linked together in their cause and in their need, will defend to the death their native soil, aiding each other like good comrades to the utmost of their strength. Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous States have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Gestapo and all the odious apparatus of Nazi rule, we shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.
Full speech here Fun fact - the original speech given to Parliament was not recorded when delivered live. It was recorded for posterity after the war ended.
Correspondence can be sent to moronhobbies at protonmail dot com where it will be sorted and processed and filed. Are you lurking ????

He was just 55, and there is no idea what it was from the public info, but he did look sort of gaunt in his last videos. I also learned that his mother died the day before he did.

Thank you for the ONT.
We raised our boys on rock and roll. Some blues tossed in.
Our first boy was 2yrs when this song was written. He talked early and like a mini adult. He knew this one and when to pause and then sing again. Heard music at home and in the cars. He's the former professional musician (saxophone). Talent from his father.
Moving cross country he was 2.5yrs old and rocked and sang with us. Baby bro was 8wks old and oblivious.
Moving to FL from the Rockies in 1984 and "Home by the Sea" he sang loudly & proudly. Every band we loved they did as well.
Two years ago in Honolulu we had an hour drive from dinner to the condo one night. Younger son had Foreigner's "I Want to Know What Love Is" playing loudly in the car. The grands sang with us. At the end as it fades out our 3yr old crazy granddaughter sang out, "I want to know what love is" and we cracked up.
Love 'em. We dance and sing and they know this music of their grandparents!
I love rock and roll and the blues with some jazz. & classical.
Supermodel kisses and have a great night and wonderful Thursday.

I'm sure he will. Some of the other debunkers have. They all seemed to really like him, and in fact, they owe a good bit to him for providing them their content to have fun with. They seem to realize that.
Some of these flat earth/space is fake types are really vile people, with a few pure grifters in there. CC was not one of them, far from it. A lovable crank you might say. He was really funny.
Sometimes, you couldn't help but wonder if it was all an act, him just having fun yanking chains, but we'll never know now.

So many thoughts about that one.
Phil said at one point that one had the working title (so all the band members would know what one they were playing at that moment) "El Zeppo". Yeah. And the finished product sounds NOTHING like Led Zeppelin.
The finished product "sounds" amazing...musically...? But does it mean anything? Is this song *about*...anything?
I'm asking IF you made the best sounding song ever that was about a "soap dish"...did you really record a great song?

Yeah. I was mad at her, too.
His music was big then, but grew a larger audience (I think, no proof) with Miami Vice. Our date when we moved and the boys were asleep. Good times.
We'd go out now and then but it was rare as we didn't know anyone in FL.
Once the daughter of a RN I worked with and lived nearby babysat. We came home early and my dude took her home. About an hour later a jeep drove up with a HS boy and he had a big surprise when my guy had a chat with him in the driveway.
We trusted very few people with our boys.
One really good babysitter out of the few (another daughter of a coworker when they were older). She dug holes with them in the yard and built forts one summer. They loved her. Recorded music videos with them (I Shot the Sheriff is hilarious).

My dad's dad fought in WWI, as a Marine. He was in Mexico previous to that chasing Pancho Villa with Pershing. He was commended for pulling people out of no man's land into the trenches under fire, repeatedly, but he never displayed his medals or particularly talked about any of it. He was an artist, but he had to be a farmer, and he was always just about one bubble off plumb. I have one of his paintings. It is lovely.
My mom's dad was too old for WWI. My mom's mom, however, taught herself to be a draftsman and did that for Boeing along with twice weekly aircraft watch, all while raising five kids, one with Type I diabetes, and taking care of the old coot.

"It's No Fun, Being an Illegal Alien"
The song isn't anything special, but it's purpose and ultimate reception is typical. Mike Rutherford wrote it while trying to get a VISA to tour the US, and ran into bureaucracy. He was bitching about the plight (satirically) of foreigners getting the run-around from the US.
HOWEVER, despite his Leftist intentions...no one will play the song anymore because Collins went over the top using a "Mexican" accent, wearing a poncho and sombrero and a moustache in the video. The usual suspects deemed this offensive to immigrants. So, despite it hitting #44 on Billboard, no one will play it anymore.

There's actually ZERO chance that all 254 counties in Texas "moved" left in the recent election.
Like NO CHANCE.
Many of those counties are incredibly small. If you believe ALL 254 counties moved in lock-step in the same direction, you're basically willing to believe that "Jamie and her two kids voted Democrat this cycle" and that 500 miles away "Pat convinced a couple of friends to vote Democrat" too. Those counties are that small.
But go on, keep pretending that its statistically *likely* that all 254 counties in Texas "moved" all in the same direction.
254 counties. In Texas, a red state. And not ONE of them said..."I kind of like how this is going"...?

It could be an after action report or lessons learned. However, until the Pubbies butch up it's useless. Besides all the cheating it's grass roots. They control who's up in the primary and that's why we get simp candidates, that's what the money wants.
Except this time (among others) magic was involved.

Meanwhile, 5% of the allegedly "conservative" side would vote for "None of the above" for something as trivial as "The conservative didn't support abolishing the income tax".

The Gateway Pundit has reported extensively on those patterns. One analysis found that Republicans retained roughly 85% of President Trump’s 2024 share across Senate and gubernatorial races in a remarkably consistent formula that held across widely different states, an outcome with extremely low historical probability.
Related reporting documented multiple historical firsts, including Democrat Senate candidates in traditionally Republican states receiving more raw votes than Kamala Harris received in those same states in 2024, a scenario described as approaching zero probability in the modern record.
Additional work placed the odds of Democrats prevailing in 29 of 30 contested Senate races at roughly 1 in 5,510. Separate examinations have flagged voting-equipment issues, adjudication anomalies, and other irregularities reported on Election Day and in the days that followed.

Forbidden for the shadow of a Trump supporter (or Republicans in general) to touch any part of a Democrat (including their shadow) upon pain of death.

It would be troublesome if my shadow killed Democrats, since I have some relatives that I care about, despite their selective retardation...
As I recall there was a monster in Torchwood with a deadly shadow like that. (Doctor Who spinoff, note the anagram.) Captain Jack had so much life force that (spoiler) he ran into its shadow and killed it by stuffing it to bursting, like an involuntary Mister Creosote.

Nobody, including the democrats, believe it was bona fide. Nobody, including the republicans, is going to do a damned thing about it. At some point, you just let go, and start patrolling your territory and monitoring local traffic.

Exactly.
We all howled when the left said 2020 was legit, and that anyone who believed otherwise shouldn't be allowed to say so. But here we not even 10 days after the election and some of those same folks are hurling insults my way for saying "Those results aren't statistically likely".
But for some reason

What would you have us do? All of us here voted for the Rs. The Rs "lost." Not only did they "lose," but they seem singularly uninterested in contesting that "loss."
If they can't, what are we supposed to do?
(Please note that fantasies about guns, knives and bloodshed have to remain fantasies from the Right. Only the Left is allowed to use those tools.)
So, what is your suggestion moving forward?

So far this week I have put up 14 jars of ham bean soup, 12 jars of beef veggie soup, and 14 jars of chicken tortilla soup. Had to dry most of my garden veggies this year, because we were living in the camper and freezing takes up too much room. Soup is a great way to use dried veggies. And soup, maybe with biscuits or a bagel, is a great dinner in the dead of winter. I can, therefore I am.

It was easier when hubby was home, to cook just enough for a day or two for us both.
Now, it's just me... and snacks for hubby sometimes. His diet is limited: soft foods and low sodium. (bleh!) But I do what I can to keep him happy.
Institutional food SUCKS, but it's gotten worse lately. Just unbelievably sh1tty... the bean-counters have turned the screws *hard* at his facility.
There's only one other place I've found as an alternative for him, and put him on the (long!) waiting list. Ugh.

I was taken aback early this morning when I learned that "CC", "Chris from Westchester County", a lovable flat- earther with the fabulous Hollywood hair, passed away on Nov. 3.
Here's his obit:

And, if not familiar with his lunatic, but entertaining rants, here's his Youtube channel:
https://t.ly/pmeJw
He was just 55, and there is no idea what it was from the public info, but he did look sort of gaunt in his last videos. I also learned that his mother died the day before he did.

Beet root juice does something similar. Took it for a long time before I discovered L Citrulline did the same thing without the bad taste. Cutting beet juice with cherry juice sounds like a good idea particularly since cherry juice can help some people get to sleep faster.
Anyway, at 72 I know long need that certain medication and I'm definitely not feeble.
