Poll Claims That Le Pen Would Win the Second Round of the Presidential Election Against All Likely Opponents
The French vote in two "tours," or turns, the first featuring all qualified candidates, the second being a runoff of the top two vote finishers (and sometimes three, I don't know what the cutoff is, maybe if you get more than 25% you go to the runoff).
The bane of National Rally has been this second tour. In the second tour, everyone, including the supposedly right-leaning Republicains, votes for whoever is running against the NR candidate, even if it's a communist. So we've seen repeated cases of NR candidates being in first place in the first tour and then being defeated in the second. A new poll claims that Marine Le Pen would actually command a majority of votes in a second tour run-off against her likely opponents.According to a survey by Toluna-Harris, a market research firm, Le Pen is projected to win the second round of the 2027 presidential election against all likely opponents. ... According to the survey, Le Pen is favored over the far-left Jean-Luc Mélenchon (68 percent versus 32 percent). Le Pen is also favored over so-called centrists Édouard Philippe (55 percent versus 45 percent) and Gabriel Attal (57 percent versus 43 percent).The poll finds she would be the top vote-getter in the first tour, which isn't surprising, as NR candidates often are. It's the second tour that gets them. This seems to confirm a poll from June, which also sees Le Pen winning the second tour -- although just barely so, if she's competing against a "centrist" candidate.
Back in July, a survey conducted by the French Institute of Public Opinion (IFOP) showed Le Pen beating Attal (54 percent vs 46 percent), Philippe (55 percent vs 45 percent), and Mélenchon (70 percent vs 30 percent) in the second round. The same survey also showed that Le Pen would receive roughly a third of the vote (36 percent). If she faces a centrist candidate in the second round, the survey projected that Le Pen would unite 50 percent of the right-leaning vote. If up against Mélenchon, Le Pen would unite 90 percent of the right-leaning vote.I don't understand why they're saying she would "unite 50 percent of the right-leaning vote." I'm assuming that is mis-worded and they mean she would unite enough of the right-leaning vote to secure 50% of all votes. Correction: No I guess I'm wrong, because they say she'd get 90% of the "right-leaning vote" against the communist Melanchon. But then I don't know why this is worth mentioning: Getting 50% of the "right leaning" vote is 1, not all that hard, and 2, something that happens as you lose the election, because getting 50% of the right-leaning vote would mean that you're getting around 20-30% of the total vote. I guess she is getting a fair amount of left-leaning voters, too. Yes, I keep forgetting, Le Pen is attempting to forge an anti-immigrant/socialist alliance. She's not really "right" by any standard, except as far as sovereignty. Meanwhile, the Socialists of Spain are demanding that the EU give it welfare money to pay for the 70,000 invaders they let into Ceuta.
Spain has formally requested emergency funding from the European Union to address the migration situation in its North African enclave of Ceuta, weeks after tens of thousands of people surged across the border from Morocco. The European Commission said on Tuesday that it is closely monitoring the situation and remained "fully engaged at all levels" to ensure the security of the EU's external borders.

****************
They might mean that a certain segment of the electorate is "right-leaning" as opposed to being definitely "on the right", with Marine Le Pen winning 50% of the "right-leaning" if she faces a centrist candidate in the 2nd round but 90% if against Mélenchon. Some of those "right-leaning" might be abstaining in the 2nd round rather than voting against Marine Le Pen.
But I'd still rather have had Jordan Bardella as presidential candidate, since the best leaders of France have always been Italians.

that can't be it because that's a poll finding not worth reporting. Of course she'll get 50% of the right-leaning vote! (And someone who gets 50% of the right leaning vote is... a loser, because that's less than 25%).

******************
The judicial system had disqualified Marine Le Pen from the coming presidential election, but this would simply have meant that the National Rally would instead nominate its parliamentary leader Jordan Bardella, and he polls better than Marine. Which explains the sudden about-face, with a court recently deciding that Marine Le Pen can compete in the presidential election after all.

The implication is that the voter segment they're considering "right" rather than merely "right-leaning" has grown so large that Marine Le Pen will win a narrow victory against a centrist candidate despite obtaining just half of the
right-leaning" voters.
But it's definitely unclear and poorly written.

I don't think the West is committing suicide. I think we're waking up. But what's going to die is Classical Liberalism - as written about as well as anyone by Jonah Goldberg.
This idea of universal tolerance. Its going to be shit-canned.
What will replace it ? Yes, we're going to get a bit more Socialism. Come on folks, we're not a Capitalist country now. And we're going to get more Nationalism. Much more. And some more Populism.
Will it be Communism ? I don't think so. I think we're trending toward "let the lay-abouts do without" more than any other time in my lifetime.

Country Music Star and Actress Dolly Parton Dies at Age 80
What did someone say of FDR? He had a third-rate mind but a first-rate temperament.
Dolly Parton could be said to have been a first-rate talent with a first-rate temperament. Every time you saw her, she was was happy and cheerful and grateful and even humble. Washington Nearsider posted this quote:She was also pretty funny. Her nephew and head of her personal security had been asked to handle the public side of her death years ago, and so makes that announcement now. NY Post:
"It costs a lot of money to look this cheap."
- Dolly Parton
Country music legend Dolly Parton has died at 80. Her family announced the devastating news in a video posted to Instagram Tuesday. "I am representing the Parton and Owens family today, announcing the passing of my Aunt Dolly Rebecca Parton Dean," a statement read by Dolly's nephew Bryan Seaver said. "The sadness lays with us, not with Dolly. Dolly has lived in the light and is in the arms of Jesus," Seaver continued. "Dolly also opened doors for generations of singers, songwriters, musicians and dreamers from every walk of life," he added. "By her example we believed that anything was possible. She never saw a door she couldn't open, and the doors she opened made and changed history." "My family and I have shared a lifetime of beautiful memories with Dolly, but so have you. She has always been on your television, your record player, you CD, and on your phone playlist, becoming an extended part of your family, whether you liked it or not." It remains unclear exactly what the country crooner died from, but last year she confided to fans that she had been suffering from health complications since the death of her husband Carl Dean earlier in the year. She had also cancelled a series of appearances and performances in the last year. Known as the queen of country music, Dolly was famous for a huge voice which belted out hits like "Jolene," "Joshua," and "9 to 5." She was also famous for her over-the-top looks, equally huge personality, charitable causes, and Dollywood theme park in her home state of Tennessee. What do you think? Post a comment. The superstar died over a year after her beloved husband, Carl Dean, who passed on March 3, 2025. Dolly was born in 1946 into a rural household with 10 siblings and no running water, saying over the years that she grew up "dirt poor" and had to scrape by with her family. But despite those struggles Dolly's mother encouraged her apparent musical talents -- by 5 she'd written her first song, by 10 she was singing on local radio shows and at just 13 years old she made her first appearance on the legendary live Grand Ole Opry radio performance in Nashville.I did not know that.
That's where she met the likes of Johnny Cash and Porter Wagoner, two stars who she would work with throughout her career as she shot to super stardom. ... Despite those successes Dolly drove herself hard -- sometimes sleeping in cars and bathing in gas station sinks as she raced across the country from gig to gig for growing fanbase. "My bedroom was the backseat and [my Uncle Bill Owens'] was the front seat," Dolly said during a 2018 appearance on "Shine On With Reese." "I'd wash my hair in the filling station bathrooms and put makeup on in the side mirror of the car, and that was just how you did it."
I think what Dolly Parton showed us in the final stretch of her career is how desperately America still needs a common culture. Part of what made her so beloved is that she cheekily dodged every attempt to force her to telegraph the message that her music was for only one sort of… pic.twitter.com/9HVt3Xa27f

The only thing I know about Parton is that in her preparation to be in 9 to 5, she memorized every line she had like it was a play.
It was apparently just naivete on her part about how movie making works, but she came prepared.

Dolly got her really big catapult to the general national audience from Johnny Carson. In the days of the Palestinians he told a joke involving Yasser Arafat, punchline being, "Dolly Parton said, 'Yessir EyeAre Fat."
She wrote Carson a note about the joke. He invited her and she became a guest next week. He introduced her, for the first time, to an audience who had never seen her. That was it.

Dolly Parton had them all as well as much of her wealth going to charity and literacy.
She's an example to many and won't be forgotten, not just for her talent but her person. By all accounts always kind and loving. Never took a wrong step in public and beloved by many. May she RIP as she joins her husband and touches the face of God.
The song that touches my heart is her voice with Brad Paisley, "When I Get Where I'm Going." There'll be only happy tears...don't cry for me down there." The words of the lyrics and melody are gorgeous and meaningful.
The angels surely gained another today who will sing in the celestial choir. xoxo

To me what was so great about her was coming up from nothing and becoming a huge success. But not stopping there. She gave back. That was so important to so many of her fans. She started Dollywood in a poor rural part of Tennessee and gave so many people an opportunity to make a living. Her loving heart is what made her so great. She is with the Lord now, as it should be.

Target has apologized for a circus clown Halloween costume that critics accused of evoking Blackface and 19th-century minstrel shows following online backlash.
The costume was sold as the “Kids’ Glows Under Blacklight Circus Clown Halloween Costume,” according to the since-deleted listing. The costume was sold as part of the retailer’s seasonal Hyde and EEK Boutique brand.
Target removed the “offensive” costume and said that it should never have been featured in its stores.
“As a company, we know we got this wrong, and we are deeply sorry. The costume is offensive and should never have been part of our assortment. It is no longer available for sale,” company spokesperson Brian Harper-Tibaldo said in a statement to FOX Business.

A Charlotte man charged with making detailed threats to carry out mass shootings at five public schools has been released from jail just three days before students in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools district were scheduled to return to class.
The man’s release has sparked outrage among parents concerned for their children’s safety.
Drew Andres Owens, 33, was released from the Mecklenburg County Jail at 11:30 a.m. on Saturday after posting a reduced bond, according to jail records obtained by the New York Post, with the new school year beginning today.
Owens faces five felony counts of communicating threats of mass violence on educational property and has pleaded not guilty. The case remains pending.

The area is beautiful also.
Dollywood used to be Silver Dollar City before Dolly bought it.
I went there when I was a kid and enjoyed the area, but the park was basically an old western town with some shops and a gunfighter show.
Dolly turned it into a modern theme park.
If you like mountains it’s worth it just to see all the sites around that end of Tennessee.

The man’s release has sparked outrage among parents concerned for their children’s safety.
Drew Andres Owens, 33, was released from the Mecklenburg County Jail at 11:30 a.m. on Saturday after posting a reduced bond, according to jail records obtained by the New York Post, with the new school year beginning today.
Owens faces five felony counts of communicating threats of mass violence on educational property and has pleaded not guilty. The case remains pending.

Illinois Islamist Lebanese cleric and Muslim Brotherhood member Sheikh Kifah Mustapha has called for Muslims to take positions throughout major American institutions, including law enforcement, federal agencies, the Pentagon, White House and U.S. Senate.
Speaking during Friday prayers, Mustapha said:
"We want Muslims in the police, as federal agents, in the fire department, in the Pentagon, in the White House. We want Muslims in the Senate…you name it. Because we believe that if we can produce leaders that still can hold on to some of these values, we can change the world, inshallah"
Dolly, pray for us!

I remember being intrigued with what the place was before it became Dollywood. For about 2 or 3 years back in the 60's it was called "Rebel Railroad". You'd ride on a steam train, and througout the ride you'd be attacked by Union Army, Native Americans, and bandits...and the Confederates were the heroes that fought off each attack. Tough sell in today's world.

Posted by: Sharpie at August 25, 2026 03:08 PM (bhqEU)
Technically, we're in the same position as police bodycam activists, before the results were known. We have a hypothesis that we believe in, and our opponents are fighting like they have something to hide.
There is an asymmetry of risk, in our favor. If we're wrong like the bodycam people, the worst-case scenario is we find out the country is full of crazy idiots voting to be slaves. We can then move forward with learning how to manipulate them into voting for their own damn interests, while everyone has more trust in the system.
The worst-case for the other side is that we're right, their election fraud is so endemic that they have completely forgotten how to win an honest election, and they could spend 40+ years in a permanent minority before they sort things out.
It's not just the odds, the payout asymmetry is *fantastic*.

We firebombed every city in Japan but a handful - some for cultural reasons (Kyoto) and some to save for nuking. The nukes were impressive because we did them with one plane, not that their total damage was so much worse than the bombings we were doing to Japan, and Germany too for that matter.

Supreme Court Blesses Trump's Mail-In Ballot Executive Orders by Vote of 6 to 3
Standing, baby.
The procedural bar of standing -- the requirement that a litigant have an actual and particular legal interest in a case before allowing him to press sue -- giveth. And it also taketh away. Here, it giveth. It giveth good and hard.One America NewsFox:
@OANN Supreme Court Sides With Trump Admin on Mail-In Ballot Restrictions The Supreme Court has lifted an injunction blocking President Trump's election integrity order in 23 states, clearing the way for new restrictions on mail-in ballots ahead of the midterms. Under the order, USPS can check its distribution of mail-in ballots against a DHS-maintained list of citizens. The DOJ and USPS say they will move to implement the changes immediately.
Trump scores Supreme Court win on mail-in voting restrictions before midtermsObviously the three braindead woke women dissented. AP's story is full of bias, obviously:
The Supreme Court allowed the Trump admin to enforce revised mail-ballot restrictions
In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court handed the Trump administration a victory on Monday, allowing it to enforce President Donald Trump's "election integrity" executive order restricting mail-in voting ahead of the November midterms. The high court lifted an injunction that had blocked the order in 23 states that challenged it after the administration appealed in July. The U.S. Postal Service and Justice Department said they would immediately implement the revised mail-ballot restrictions after the ruling. Most immediately, the ruling clears the path for the U.S. Postal Service to check its distribution of mail-in ballots against a list of citizens maintained by the Department of Homeland Security. But it's also a significant political victory for the Trump administration as it has advocated against the widespread use of mail-in-voting, citing what it believes is a heightened vulnerability to tampering and voter fraud. Most recently, Trump slammed what he called a suspiciously high volume of mail-in-ballots cast for [Nythia] Raman in the 2026 LA mayoral race primaries. "You know, they don't have voting booths; everything's by mail. I don't think a Republican can win in California unless you pass the Save America Act," Trump told Fox News, referring to GOP legislation to narrow the scope of mail-in voting and voter-ID requirements. "They're going to have to get rid of mail-in voting." Like many onlooking conservatives, Trump pointed out that, after election night, the vast majority of Democratic votes had been for Nithya Raman, creating a delayed outpouring of support. Fox News Digital has not reviewed any particular case of election fraud tied to the LA mayoral race.
Even so, Trump's original executive order looked to eliminate any ambiguity. Titled "Preserving and protecting the integrity of American elections," it directed federal agencies to compile citizenship-based lists of eligible voters and ordered the U.S. Postal Service to deliver mail-in ballots only to people appearing on those approved lists. "Several Federal laws, including 18 U.S.C. 1015 and 611, prohibit foreign nationals from registering to vote or voting in Federal elections. Yet States fail adequately to vet voters' citizenship, and, in recent years, the Department of Justice has failed to prioritize and devote sufficient resources for enforcement of these provisions," the executive order reads. Where critics of the order saw a federal effort to dictate the terms of state-run elections, the court on Monday sided with the administration, stating that the way the executive order was made put requirements only on federal agencies. In essence, the order didn't put any new requirements on the states themselves. "[It] directs the Secretary of Homeland Security to take appropriate action to create and distribute State Citizenship Lists. This provision is an internal directive from the President to a subordinate. It imposes no obligations on the States, so they 'suffer no concrete harm from' it, and without concrete harm, there is no standing," the court wrote.
Which "experts" did you consult? The same leftwing "experts" you always consult, right? Did you consult a single expert who believes that mail-in voting increases fraud, as it obviously does? The leftwing media always claims that "experts" support its own leftwing biases. And yet the media never consults any other "experts" but the hand-picked lefties whose opinions they know in advance. That's why they call them. They know what they're going to say. This is a racket that we need to address: The media is itself non-expert, but claims it can render expert opinions because it has consulted "experts" and is just relaying their opinion. And yet, there are of course many experts who disagree. But these are not cited. Because the media has decided these experts are wrong. But dinky-brained "journalists" went to three years of journalism school and have absolutely zero subject-matter expertise in any discipline. They are experts in nothing. This means, that in a dispute between experts, they are absolutely unqualified to determine the winner and loser. They don't know what the fuck they're talking about. But in case after case, the media -- which tells you you must always rely on "experts" and must not "do your own research" -- does its own research and decides which experts are right and which are Lying Racists, despite the experts themselves having failed to make that conclusion. They obviously did this with covid, in all disputes involving it, from masking to vaccine injury to the covid origin to the need to lock ourselves in our homes for a year. Some experts gave them the leftwing version of the story, and other experts disputed it -- but these know-nothing uneducated non-expert simpletons and fools decided Who the Real Experts Here Are and ruled -- WITHOUT EVIDENCE -- that all dissenters from this media-fabricated "consensus" were conspiracy theorists, frauds, and liars. I'd really like to see more people challenging the non-experts of the media about their qualifications, or lack thereof, to settle disputes between actual experts. It's a very big question, especially today, as the media's favorite tactic for deciding the "truth" is to claim they know who The Real Experts Here Are and declare them to be in the right, based on nothing but their dinky, pathetic J-school degree.
The decision leaves room for additional court challenges that could further slow Trump's order, and other similar cases have already been filed. The U.S. Postal Service laid out how it would implement the order last week, but time is running short to impose major changes. North Carolina is sending out ballots Sept. 4 overseas and to military voters, and other states will quickly follow suit in just a few weeks. ... While the emergency order is not final, it does have the potential to create chaos around voting across the country, with Trump often questioning the integrity of elections and the nation's highest court again the possible arbiter of a political controversy. ... The three liberal-leaning justices publicly dissented, with Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson writing that the rule "lets another shoe drop in the Kafkaesque nightmare that our precedents have been steadily creating for certain plaintiffs who seek to bring election-related challenges." ... Mail balloting has long been a favorite target for Trump, who has claimed that it breeds fraud despite strong evidence to the contrary and his own use of the voting method.

Mr. Fetterman is so popular with Pennsylvania Republicans, he’s liked by 79% of party respondents versus just by 20% of Pennsylvania Democrats, according to a survey released Tuesday by The New York Times, Philadelphia Inquirer and Siena University.
Over two-thirds of self-proclaimed Democrats hold an unfavorable view of him, while only 17% of Republicans have adverse feelings about him.
Mr. Fetterman’s overall favorability among all Pennsylvania voters is 46%, down slightly down from 48% in 2024.
As for the state’s other senator, 66% of Republicans approve of Mr. McCormick and just 10% disapprove. Democrats who favor him make up 18% compared with 49% who don’t.

The SAVE Act would do a fair amount, for sure.
But, the GOP is not actually fighting any of the Trump EOs and efforts. Most of the GOP is actively helping, especially at the state level as they do things like hand over voter rolls to the DOJ for auditing.
It's just that there's still a cadre who won't actively help, concentrated in the Senate. And most of them are gone at the end of this Congress anyway.

Fetterman's Republican popularity would plunge if he switched parties.
Because he's actually a hard leftist on 99% of issues, and the second he tried to compete in the Republican arena everyone would use that against him.
PA GOP like him because he's "reasonable" for a Democrat. They'd hate him if he were a Republican. People think he'd be, at worst, a Collins. But he'd be another Murkowski.

My favorite journalist tactic is their frequent use of local college/university political science professors who, for some unknown reason, always take the Democrat side on the issue.
The local rag, back when I used to read it, had a College of Charleston professor on speed dial for just such occasions.

PA GOP like him because he's "reasonable" for a Democrat. They'd hate him if he were a Republican. People think he'd be, at worst, a Collins. But he'd be another Murkowski.

Probably true. I don't particularly care as the Democrats are likely to do him in during the 2028 primary. My guess is he is aiming for a media career as an honest truth teller rather than actually party switching. Arlen Specter was often Democrats in PA favorite GOP guy until he swapped parties so Obamacare could pass through the filibuster. Didn't save his ass at the next election when he was taken out in the Dem primary. Funny thing with Arlen, he was a Democrat before he became a Republican and then a Democrat again.

For some strange reason there's been this "consensus" that you can always make voting as easy as possible, even if it's so obviously open to fraud. But never have any enforcement of even black and white laws to protect integrity of elections.
I will say though, GOP needs to make a full court press fighting mail in ballots in all 50 states.

Parton shared the news of her longtime partner’s passing last year — and it was her nephew who did the same for her “with absolute pride and great sadness” on Tuesday.
“This video announcement is something Dolly asked of me years ago before I fully absorbed it as a future reality,” Bryan Seaver, who was also Parton’s head of security for more than two decades, said of the “honor.”
In his emotional tribute, Seaver revealed, “Dolly called me and said she wants to rest in a beautiful bed of plush cotton because after a life wearing heavy rhinestones, she finally deserves to be comfortable and have some rest.”

Honest answer, no. The 2000 election showed the problem with military ballots. The military and USPS bureaucracies repeatedly failed to get the ballots in time to vote counters so the elections were already decided and certified before some of the military ballots dribbled in. Gore's team was arguing in Pensacola Fed. Ct. that military ballots that were late or somehow not strictly compliant with all the absentee ballot rules should not be counted while chanting every vote must count in Florida state courts including those made by mistake (the butterfly ballot).
Then, apparently Democrats did wholesale fraud on military ballots in Georgia with 100 percent Biden vote batches. Nasty critters and you should blame Democrats for the mess.

States must submit to the DHS in a standard format their voter rolls. The DHS will cross reference it against a list of American citizens.
Those who are verified will be sent over to the USPS on a state-by-state list to ensure the mail-in ballots go to the proper people.

Mail-in voting doesn't just facilitate fraud, it guarantees it. That's the entire purpose of it. There is no legitimate reason for universal mail-in ballots. Absentee ballots were the way it was done before. Limited, vetted.
The mail-in crap started during the Covid op, with a phony public health justification. Once that was over it didn't go away, in fact it was expanded. It's obvious fraud.

Ordered a package from a place on South Florida on August 3rd. They shipped it out on the 4th.
Usually takes two or three days to arrive here in SC from there.
Unfortunately this package was shipped to Denver, sat there a day or two and instead of going back east it was sent to San Francisco, sat for three days, then to San Jose, CA, then it was driven all the way to Memphis, TN, then finally arrived at the mailbox on the 17th.
This has happened before a few times where something went way off course, but this is the first time I saw a package make it all the way to the west coast and back.

Of course. As with most important things, most of the commission's findings were obvious common sense.
But in line with the general social and especially civic collapse that picked up steam in the late 90s, all of the ridiculous and insecure voting methods (mail-ins, extended voting "seasons", harvesting) gradually were instituted across much of the country.
The country that essentially invented the concept of representative government created through elections is in the lower % of all countries for election integrity, and at the bottom of all medium- to high-trust societies with high administrative capacity. Well done!

2. PDT puts enough pressure on the progs that they elect to kick things off themselves; or Vance wins and they do the same during a Vance admin.
There is no fucking way this all gets wrapped up nicely just via electoral victories. We weathered the late 60's/70's shit at a time when the demographics were wildly different, at the very start of the final leg down for the USD. The horde here is skewed older and doesn't fully grasp what life is like for the zoomers and alphas.

Places where such ballots can be harvested or dropped off will see no change because of the ruling or the USPS actions. But in theory non-citizens would be excluded from the mail-in scam. Which would do nothing about in-person improper voting, provisional ballots in-person, etc, in states where there is zero election integrity due to no ID requirement. But it does complicate fraud at-scale.

@shipwreckedcrew
Tempering my initial thought -- the Court, with the cooperation of the liberals, "rushed" this decision out for a prudential reason.
It's finding of a lack of standing on the part of the States is tied to when the complaints were filed and the status of the record then -- no "Proposed Regulation" and no "Final Regulation." All the supposed harms were hypothetical.
But there are now both Proposed and Final Regulations and the Plaintiffs are now going to be able to point to the provision and say "We will be harmed in the following way if this goes into effect."
That is not the kind of hypothetical they had to make back in April when the complaints were filed.
The Court is signaling to all involved that the facts now are different than the facts in April and the outcome on the question of standing might be different now.
I do not think it is a coincidence that the Trump Admin. announced it had a Final Rule back on Friday and the Court issuing this decision today.
There are only about 75 days left before the election. Whether Judge Talwani or some other Judge now tries to tie up the Final Order to prevent it from being implemented

ELE vote fraud takes significant resources including money. And a lot of people looking the other way.
2026 will be the first major election where (i) a lot of money that would have gone to vote fraud has disappeared (USAID, etc) and (ii) some major vote integrity measures were implemented.
I'm not sure why there's still no much doomsaying. To be sure, I may be too optimistic. It may be that Fraud Inc was just too big and fat to be slaughtered in one election cycle.
But it makes no sense to think that 2026 will be 2020. It won't be. Not even close. Hell, even 2024 wasn't 2020.

Frothingham v. Mellon was in 1923. The only big caveat to the decision is if a law/action violates the Bill of Rights. That came in a 1968 case, Flast v. Cohen dealing with the Establishment clause. Then a citizen can sue over spending that violates the Bill of Rights, in this case, public money for religious education. That particular exception is less viable today after Scotus weakened the old wall of separation between religion and government in the 80's and 90's.

- Redirect those ballots to central fraud office (this is easily done. One way is to change the address for one day when mailed, then change back before anyone notices. Another way is harvesting - just collect them after delivery)

What's really making the left nuts is that they no longer own the Supreme Court as they did for decades. The Donald knows this because he did it.
I'm fine with having his actions get stopped by activist lower courts only to be eventually overturned by a higher court. It makes the left nuts that Trump isn't acting like the lawless dictator they claim he is and he gets the win anyway while showing the country just how broken our judicial system has become.

The Gregoire debacle in Washington state was a harbinger or preview. Democrat election fraud is legendary, going back decades. In the 1960s it was an open secret any Republican needed roughly a million ballots just to break even.
But it's spread far and wide since then, it isn't merely confined to big city precincts and corrupt places like Chicago or Detroit.

- only contain likely voters. Every unmotivated person on rolls is potential for fraud. The only check on false voting is the person complaining that they were told at the desk that they had already voted.
- Rolls have to be public, and fixed early enough before election day that the public can canvass to make sure all the names are real and addresses accurate. This is a controlled document and not "live." It is a legal contract. (we ignore this flagrantly in USA)
- etc. there is more but the two above are relevant to this discussion.

I think you underestimate their ability to adapt. Democrats have successfully been ahead of every cycle except the last where they underestimated turnout. I believe some of the fraud prevention and eyes on will help. But there seems to be something going on with the electronic counting process. More needs to be done to audit the actual votes cast with the counting.

Places where such ballots can be harvested or dropped off will see no change because of the ruling or the USPS actions. But in theory non-citizens would be excluded from the mail-in scam. Which would do nothing about in-person improper voting, provisional ballots in-person, etc, in states where there is zero election integrity due to no ID requirement. But it does complicate fraud at-scale.

The fact that it was Andrew Mellon who won, if they are historically minded, would piss them off even more. Andrew ended up getting a totally political IRS investigation and charges on his taxes in the FDR administration. One of the reasons to admire soon to be Justice Jackson, is that as the IRS chief counsel at the time and soon to be AG, he told off FDR and his political crowd that the charges were a loser and that it made FDR look like shit.
As one of FDR's oldest political friends, FDR had to take it from Jackson. Mellon died from cancer before he was exonerated by the Board of Tax Appeals.

The GOP actively worked with the Democrat Party to help them along in 2018, 2020, and 2022. The RNC was in controlled opposition hands. The GOP was more interested in defeating Trump, so they largely stepped aside and let Democrats do things.
2024 showed that Democrats weren't good at adapting. They fumbled the whole thing very, very badly.
All it took was one well-timed lawsuit in Philadelphia when they tried to shut down ballot counting at 10pm election night, which the RNC led by recent heads Lara Trump and Michael Whatley orchestrated.

He is the son of man, son of God, the Messiah.
Sent to save us from sin, and give us life eternal.
Even for idiots like you, who believe truth is some abstraction you can mold into your godless, self worshipping political cult.
He knows all things, and when you pass from this life it will all be evident. As you stand before the God of Abraham and the Son of Man, you can tell them all about your selfish intentions disguised as magnanimity.
And yes, I am back for the moment. Once again by the grace of God.

There are innumerable circumstances everywhere that produce ‘excess’ mail in ballots that find their way into voting Blue—every single time.
Funny how that works .

Mail in ballots are the mother’s milk of cheating…..well, that and electronic ‘vote manufacturing machines that are easily manipulated.
Trump’s issuing a National Emergency Executive Order to essentially mandate the Save America Act is about the only remaining way to avoid a Commie takeover.

Like the ruling that underpins this and basically boils down to:
Someone, somewhere, somehow may possibly think that some way some how someone will be able to see how they voted and then for some reason some how that unknown someone may possibly decide not to vote.
And that is voter suppression.

Right now, they can just print out ballots, fill them out, scan them, and pretend they were 'mail-in'. A recount finds the same number of 'mail-in' ballots.
But the USPS keeps optical scans of the mail it delivers; they even send me an email, showing me what I can expect to find in the mailbox when I collect it. So, with matching barcodes, an audit would find that those ballots were not mail-in at all, since the USPS had no record of ever delivering an envelope with that barcode. Their Easy Mode election fraud would get much harder.

Not likely.
He's selling his stance to anyone with money. He hates Christianity, things Jesus was non binary and thinks trans children are the greatest thing ever. Blacks can't get a fair trial in Texas because we're all racist and the system is geared against them.
That will NOT resonate well with the Texas Christian voter.
Again, I've seen 3 yard signs and one car sticker in my AO. I saw a metric f*ckton more for Beto and HE got absolutely SMOKED. TWICE.
Where I believe our side needs to come out for Paxton in droves and f*cking VOTE, I don't feel that Talarico has a snowball's chance in Hell of winning.

Embrace that it is an op. You can pay a crowd of influencers to post false bullshit on X and shills to then comment on the thread.
On any important discussion on X, you see the paid shills from bot rings, comment mills in SE Asia and China, and otherwise people out to lie, cheat, or whatever they need to do for FUD. Fear Uncertainty and Doubt raising.
Want to try to determine what is what, look at past voting records including Paxton's AG runs, 2024 Trump election, and the 2022 patterns to establish what is called a normal GOP vote. ratio of TX. Then compare it with the normal Dem vote. Then you can if you can get them, regional crosstabs of any Texas polling to determine whether the sample is bad on R-D normal vote.
Real election analysis takes a lot of time, media just blow past that as do 'influencers' directly to muh feelz and muh opinion. Even most of the political professional media analysts like Cook Report, RCP, or ole Nate Silver pass on the most ridiculous polling outliers and use them.

Yep. Since Anthrax happened, USPS now images front and back of EVERY envelope sent through the system with tracking from where to where. But as the ballot envelopes are often shredded by fraudsters or non existent in the first place, this did not scare them.
What scares them is verifiable and unique individual ballot tracking plus the imaging which means the risk for cheaters facing serious prison time (mail fraud among other things). Res ipsa loquitur on the envelope and tracking if a ballot goes missing or never was delivered in the first place.

Actually it does when mailed to the recipient already. Plus billing is based on it. Whether it comes back that way is different as a mailed absentee ballot can be put in a drop box, delivered to the election office, etc. But, that makes it dead easy to indicate which ballots are likely fraudulent.
The ones without USPS tracking obviously. And it makes the ballot harvesting in states that don't allow it even more risky because the USPS is not going to deliver if the USPS address and voting information does not match with a citizen and the state voting record. It tears the curtain over the black box of absentee ballot harvesting where ballots were sent in multiples to non existent residences, Wal Marts, etc. and retrieved from the dead letter repositories to vote.
Tracking to and forbidding delivery to non residences prevents that.

Trump Links a Just the News Report Suggesting That Ilhan Omar is Being Investigated by ICE for Immigration Crimes
As JJ mentioned in the morning briefing, Trump seemingly confirmed that there is an active probe into Ilhan "Omar's" immigration crimes.
Specifically, he shared this report from Just the News, which noted that ICE had refused a FOIA request for information about Ilhan Omar's immigration status, citing "enforcement proceedings." That is: We do not discuss pending investigations.ICE refuses to disclose records on Ilhan Omar fraud probe, cites ongoing 'enforcement proceedings'
It's All in the Family: The agency claims that releasing documents related to an investigation into the lawmaker's alleged immigration fraud would, under the law, interfere with "enforcement proceedings."
The federal government is refusing to turn over records related to an investigation conducted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement into allegations of immigration fraud by Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., citing a legal exemption for ongoing investigations. Just the News filed a Freedom of Information Act request for the records in January, seeking the records pertaining to any investigations conducted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement into the allegations that Rep. Omar, who represents Minnesota's 5th Congressional District, married a relative in order to help him remain in the country. Omar has denied the allegations. No court records, DNA evidence, or other documentary proof has ever substantiated that Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, Omar's legal husband from 2009--2017, was her biological brother. "ICE has determined that the information you requested is being withheld in full pursuant to Title 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(7)(A). Disclosure of any responsive records at this time could reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement proceedings," ICE told Just the News in response to the FOIA in May. The FOIA exemption cited by the agency "applies to records or information compiled for law enforcement purposes when their release could disrupt such proceedings," the reply reads. ... Earlier this year, Vice President JD Vance confirmed that the Justice Department was reviewing the allegations. "I don't want to prejudge an investigation," Vance said. "It certainly seems like something fishy is there. If we think that there's a crime, we're going to prosecute that crime, and that's something the Department of Justice is looking at right now." The allegation that Omar's second husband, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, is related to her, or even her brother, first surfaced during her 2016 election campaign for a seat in the Minnesota House of Representatives. At the same time, allegations emerged that when she married her second husband she was still married to her first. ... President Donald Trump has repeatedly invoked the claim that Omar "married her brother" in order to get him into the country, accusing her of committing immigration fraud. "She married her brother in order to get in, right? She married her brother. Can you imagine if Donald Trump married his sister?" He also called for her removal, saying, "We ought to get her the hell out," Trump said at a December 2025 rally.
The National Pulse suggests there may be other grounds to denaturalize her:
The records may concern longstanding allegations that Omar's 2009 marriage, to a Somali man claimed by some to be her brother, was fraudulent and arranged to benefit his immigration status. It may also relate to the fact that she may have failed to disclose her family's role in allegedly committing war crimes in Somalia.

Posted by: nckate at August 25, 2026 12:36 PM (enNUy)
I would attribute it to Betty Frieden and the Feminine Mystique. I hope I'm not mixing up people and books. I'm thinking of the one where a comfortably well-off white woman railed against the men of her high class (by any historical perspective) for placing women in such an oppressive gilded cage, but framed as a screed against men in general.
It has always been the case that men and women joshed each other, as a kind of jockeying for favorable treatment within a context of secure attachment between the sexes. But that began to break down as man-hating lesbians skin-suited academia in the '70s, and their vitriol trickled down to high-school girls by the time of Gen-X's adolescence.
They say, dress for the job you want, and even lower-middle class white women were adorning themselves in the raiment of man-bashing as teens, long before they ever even had an upper-class man in their sights. And over time, the original context was lost, and teasing became genuine man-hating.

Immigration lawyers are getting fined the maximum amount for filing false asylum claims.
Asylum disapproval rates are at historic highs (roughly 95%).
The admin is revoking visas at historic rates (just announced to revoke 200,000 tourist and temporary work visas the other day). On top of TPS ending for literally ever group under them.
All legal immigration categories are down double digits percentage from 2024-25 (new H1-B visas are down about 80%).
ICE keeps humming along, picking up people in major operations.
Self-deportations probably continue (story recently about Somalis losing their TPS and fleeing to Canada).
The admin is squeezing from every direction, and it's working. And Republicans losing Congress will change literally none of it.

Even if they succeed in kicking Omar out, do they think she will be replaced with a moderate Democrat or a Republican? Omar’s district is the most progressive in Minnesota.
It’s the point of going after political opponents. The headline is all they needed for their base
It is amazing, and troubling, how fully MAGA has swallowed that "married her brother" bullshit.
Affordability, affordability, affordability! People can’t afford to buy a house or pay rent or groceries or gas or healthcare. The GOP are desperate to distract us.

He's a piece of shit and probably made a giant show of his job to self-aggrandize himself while also tank the overall effort.
He keeps saying that Mullin is doing worse than Noem, but Noem deported far less than Mullin is doing (June set a record for deportation flights, and July beat June's record).
I think he was fucking Noem, was a showboat, and actually didn't care about the overall effort.

They have been posting about Trump even before 2016 and most of them dislike him. And these supposed ultra smart lawyers were somehow unable to discern the massive fraud perpetrated by the Somalis over the last decade at least. Or the various curious behaviors like his Chicom pilgrimmages, his desertion of his unit before deployment, and his flight from Nebraska, let alone the grooming that he and the misses did with that young boy about their own governor, Walz.
They aren't worth my time to read and proved it way back when. Their law business and place in MN legal culture is stronger than their desire to rock the boat.

17 months is plenty of time for breeding. Breeding happens all the time through the process, and it's a question of overproducing in the face of new deregulatory pressures.
17 months isn't enough time to go from babe to ready for processing. It's enough to increase the size of the herd, though.
They tried to game the system and maximize profits because they have an effective monopoly.

The left is keeping a few from being deported but not the masses and apparently their lawfare project is beginning to breakdown as well. Several really big immigration lawyers have suddenly shut down their shops and the whole edifice of visa fraud, primarily to the benefit of Indians (dot) and Chinese is being dismantled.
Like a war, it is not a story of individuals but of masses. Harder to visualize and see but closing the S. Border had the salutary effect of being able to concentrate on visa fraud. Illegal visa overstays and other fraud involving work visas are now being pursued. 200k visas have been put into limbo this week, probably over massive credential fraud concerns of a particular consulate in a particular country.

Denaturalization, as opposed to deportation of illegal immigrants, is a process that has to go through the judiciary.

One of the big problems they had in Europe and "DeNazification" was that for over a decade you pretty much had to be a Nazi to stay in government. Once the war was over, if they precluded former Nazis from government there wasn't hardly anybody left, except for Communists, and that wasn't going to work either.

Trump has shifted the Overton window with the help of the Biden crew as to what is acceptable.
Even in Europe, it is shifting to the point that Polish government is actively warning migrants that attempts to climb the fence warrant being shot.

I think Biden's administration destroyed the Democrat brand for large swaths of people that were previously open to it, and a central issue that caused it was immigration.

A Minnesota man is accused of crushing his co-worker’s head with a hydraulic grapple in a prank gone wrong during a tree-trimming job, killing the 26-year-old co-worker.
. . . .
"Crimmins told police that he and Tyler Anthony Lynch, 26, were working together in Apple Valley on Thursday afternoon when the two started 'f---ing around.'"
"The men noticed the grapple's shadow and Lynch's shadow on the ground, and Crimmins began moving the grapple to make it look like it was grabbing Lynch, the complaint says. Crimmins was watching the shadows rather than Lynch himself, it says, and didn't realize the grapple was closing in on Lynch's actual head until it crushed it."

He leads a caucus with 53 members that includes Murkowski (Democrat), Mitch (empty shell), Tillis (Democrat), Cornyn (Democrat), Cassidy (Democrat), and Ernst (dumbass establishmentarian stuck in 2006 even though she wasn't elected until long after).
I don't think it matters what Thune wants.
Not with those people in his caucus, most of whom are out at the end of this Congress and have zero incentive to do anything they don't want to do.

If we somehow keep the House in November, I think we could see some action on getting more immigration restrictions codified with the changes we'll see in the Senate (Mitch, Cornyn, Cassidy, Tillis, and Ernst all gone).

Two new rules, the 103k replacing the old 100k fee is based on rulemaking for economic costs to US employees per a Congressional law provision. Situation like tariffs, the initial order has gotten into legal trouble but the newer rulemaking like on retaliatory tariffs based on specific calculations are harder to overturn legally in high court.
The other is a revising of the non cap 401 which are ngos and universities are going to get tightened. And the OPT and various other education visas leading to work visas are getting tightened a lot too. No 30 day grace period to monkey branch after expiration for example. No all online classes to qualify for educational visa stays, etc. etc.

not just that, but with what PDJT is in fact able to do, using creative means, people are seeing results
even in PHILLY people are seeing it, and they are warming to a full clearing-out of illegals! it's crazy!
but just starting to do it, starts people realizing it's possible, and what it means for their lives - and unless you're an immigration lawyer or a GODDAMNED CATHOLIC BISHOP!!!, it's a very very good thing for you

Your sarcasm is warranted, but it's not just one Bangladeshi man. There's a Walmart 20 minutes from me that looks like downtown Yemen with 90% of the women in full burqas. The nicest, most upscale mall within an hour of me has completely changed in the last 20 years. It used to be full of attractive all-American looking people. Now it looks like little India.
I take your point that all that doesn't change in a few short years. But it's looking really different out there, and I'd like that to turn around.

A lot of this is irreversible. Too many naturalized foreign-borns and their children in the system.
But you reverse it as much as possible one cut at a time.

They stole the election from Trump, started using the government as their personal hammer and funding mechanism and were moving in the direction of nullification of all future elections. In that time and scenario now action seemed a bridge too far or too extreme. Shit, they used Covid to completely undermine the Bill of Rights and practically zero happened to them. There really were not any consequences.
Then came Trump II and everything that followed.
They thought they were in the end game where their thousand year reich was about to begin. Then it evaporated.
BTW that people are thinking of electing Democrats to any office, no less a majority after everything that happened completely ignored what happened a few years ago.

It's my understanding that the admin's approach to the OPT program is to establish fraud and follow APA to the letter in order to lay the groundwork to undo it completely since it's a regulatory creation instead of a statutory one.

2023 and 2024 were the biggest years for granting H1-B visas in American history.
At least 3 years for each (with the one extension after three for another term) means that those in 2023 will be facing their first real hurdles this year in terms of staying.
And the admin does have authority to remove the visas on an individual basis due to fraud, but I believe that has to be tight enough on each basis to survive in court if the admin is going to try it at the mass level.

Agreed. But in my fantasy world they still owe their constituents some level of loyalty and duty. They are actually still drawing a paycheck so just the basic decency to "do the job" should still be in play. I know I'm being unrealistic, but I would like to see these people hounded out of decent society once they leave office. As payback for the knife in the back.

A lot of the low level were either 'refugees' or illegals from S. of the border and they gravitated toward welfare plus whatever they could make on the jobs--construction, stocking shelves, whatever.
Those from China or the subcontinent of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, etc. and ME muzzies are often here on work or educational visas, not all but probably a majority of those immigrants and they are out to take jobs from the American middle and even upper class now. Medicine, engineering, computer sci, etc. Now even jobs like public relations (see recent Texas State Univ kerfluffle).
And that is part is probably why no reaction on immigration curtailment, the upper and middle class are getting gored or their kids are now.
The cheap illegals across the border were doing crap to make things cheap for the middle and upper classes--cheap construction, cheap tree service, cheap lawn care, etc.

I haven't tap danced since I was 4yrs old and it's not going to be jazzy. I wasn't that good when I was 4yrs based on videos of dress recitals. In color and all my glory.
Always a beat behind (I was one of the youngest is my excuse) if we were in a circle parade with our tamborines and red tutus in one Spanish dance. Holding up the class so I'd be first.
The very best, however, is when one girl tapped in my space. You can see my big mouth yapping to the dancing instructor stage right and pointing to her. She does nothing so I strong arm this girl right outta my space. While tapping. My father loved it.

They went full Leroy Jenkins on immivasion because they are bugmen. Leftists do not have principles and structure like you or I. I have worked with them, and they operate like a nest or hive, where each is allowed to pursue his own priorities as he sees fit, and they just kind of trust that the end result will suit.
It's effective, because it uses the Invisible Hand; but it's an appallingly amoral misapplication. "Respect the diversity of tactics" ultimately means, "Don't criticize anyone, even pedo groomers and psycho thugs." And each issue is managed by those most passionate about it, with no input from the rest.

He absolutely did not have recurrent themes across his whole body of work.

Overall, he had nothing. He was an empty vessel. Kevin Williamson was more of the auteur on the Scream films than Craven.

Instead of a general position, they allow the niche groups to promote their "single issue", and since a significant number of these groups are radical, that "single issue" is usually some outlandish outlier position. Then, they depend on all the other niche groups to fall in line and support them because they will get that same support on their own issue.
The problem is that the other groups can't debate the issue because they don't understand the reasoning or care. Finally, it's why democrats don't campaign on issues anymore. They campaign against the opponent. They rarely know what their own candidate stands for. That's how you get Nazi tattooed candidates, and Sharia Law candidates.

Hasan Piker: By Only Caring About Israel, Jews Are Increasing Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Violence, and They Deserve It
Remember the very well-promoted "Islamic backlash"? We were told that the worst possible thing that could possibly be would be for people to take their anger about Islamic terrorism -- and Muslim support for Islamic terrorism -- out on Muslim civilians.
Norm MacDonald parodied this insane claim by telling us all what really terrifies him:
After the murder of Charlie Kirk, lefties worried about the real crime, which would be the hypothetical, possible postulated retaliation by rightwingers against leftwingers:
Nick Robinson
@bbcnickrobinson The news from Bondi beach is grim. For many it will have terrible echoes of the massacres on October 7th. For Jews living here it will feel painfully close to the murders at a synagogue in Manchester. It is a reminder - if one was needed - that Jews all over the world now live in fear. If you struggle to understand that fear - you may not have any Jewish family or friends as it is a very small community - I urge you to think of the impact on the Muslim and, indeed, the wider community of the Christchurch mosque attack in New Zealand. Tonight Jews everywhere will light candles to mark the start of the festival of lights - Hanukkah. Few will feel able to celebrate. Many will be worrying about what might happen next.
if Muslim jihadists detonate a nuclear bomb in a major US city, killing tens of millions, can you just imagine how terrible backlash will be against the Muslim community? -- Norm MacDonald

@MikeRogersForMI More calls for violence coming out of the El-Sayed campaign... Here is his running mate, Hasan Piker, saying that if AMERICAN JEWS support Israel, they will be violently targeted because of it. This is all in reaction to Michigan Democratic Congressional candidate Jeremy Moss, who happens to be Jewish, saying he is unsure if he will be able to support Abdul for these very reasons. Absolutely DISGUSTING. If Abdul El-Sayed had any courage at all, he would call this out and disavow Hasan Piker once and for all. We're waiting, Abdul...

I really want El-Sayed to lose convincingly. At least 5 points.
A high profile Islamist getting partisan support because of his party ID and no more would be a healthy signal to send out. Getting under proportional expectations would be even better.

There. I said it. Perhaps fear of backlash (and perhaps maybe there should be some backlash to instill that fear) will get them to root out the terrorists in their neighborhoods and mosques. If you don't really support terrorists, then report them, expose them, and stop sending money to terrorists groups in the Middle East.

I don't like their invasions without a shot fired to defend our culture or that of the UK or Europe. They KNOW our laws protect whatever they do as nothing is so bad as to be declared racist or an Islamophobe in their liberal hive mind.

Callais is going to make the problem so much worse as blacks lose their over-representative power in the Congressional delegation over the next few cycles.
Black votes in individual districts are going to become less necessary because they'll be shoved where they don't matter. Black candidates won't win enough black votes by default to keep that particular grift alive outside of the blue states that keep the enclaves intact.
And there's going to be revelation that there is no cohesive idea keeping the Democrat Party together anymore.
There hardly ever is anything terribly cohesive keeping major political coalitions. It's more vibes and generalized ideas. But Democrats have been doing graft and anti-Republican as their identity for so long that they don't have people in power who understand anything else.
It's going to devolve into fights of personality while the GOP keeps some semblance of cohesiveness under MAGA going through its shifts post-Trump.

Muslims are willing to extend that into violence, with their "Righteousness" coming from their alliance to Allah as superseding all law and order.
Blacks also act as a group of The Oppressed, so the BLM (mostly peaceful) riots and looting were just them getting back at The (White) Man, and they still demand their one million each in reparations.
The main groups that are condemned for acting as a group seem to be Jews and White Christians. Those two groups must be diversified, if not killed outright. And they must be forced to say "Diversity is Our Strength", and other leftist mantras.
It's insane, but the left has managed to make much of our society insane, via schools and other infiltrations.

How a Quartet of American Musicians Outwitted the KGB
"In 1985, while the United States engaged in a battle of nuclear brinkmanship, four Americans landed in Moscow on a mission to smuggle secret information in and out using music as their cipher. Under the watchful eye of the KGB, the group faced countless challenges and risks—because they weren’t trained in espionage. In fact, they were musicians with the New England-based Yiddish-music focused Klezmer Conservatory Band (KCB).
"Now, the quartet’s saxophonist, Merryl Goldberg, together with Vince Houghton, the Director of the National Security Agency’s National Cryptologic Museum, tell the harrowing story of how Goldberg devised an ingenious plan to encode the intelligence within the group’s sheet music."

Black women will remain the most loyal Democrat voting block, and I wouldn't expect Vance to repeat Trump's performance with black men.
But, the damage does seem to be done. Cracks formed within the coalition that will make the black vote slightly less uniform (85-15 instead of 90-10 or, in an Obama situation, 95-5).
But combine that with Callais where suddenly, like, people in Montgomery don't have "someone like them" to vote for at the federal level?
I think we're in the opening of the black vote being non-monolithic for the first time in decades. It'll take a long time to play out, though.

🚨BREAKING: Air Force Major Jason Watson just got hit with the consequences he invited.
The same officer who stood on the Capitol steps in full uniform holding an “IMPEACH CONVICT REMOVE” sign and later went on CNN to keep attacking the President, has now been formally charged under the UCMJ.
10 charges total:
- 3 counts of Article 88 (contemptuous words against the President)
- 5 counts of Article 92 (disobeying orders)
- 2 counts of Article 133 (conduct unbecoming an officer)
He decided to turn his uniform into a political prop for an activist group. The military just reminded him that the uniform is not a costume.
He asked for this.

Israel and American Zionists stoke antisemitic tensions. They do this by claiming criticizing them is the same as criticizing jews.
He's saying if Israelis and establishment politicians keep equate Zionists and Jews (which isn't accurate) as one in the same, eventually something will happen on American soil, like the terrorist attack in Sydney. Hate Hasan if you will but he's not wrong.
Hasan's opinion is the same many share in relation to the Palestinians. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.
He’s right, but draws the wrong conclusion. It is dangerous for Jews to voice any support for Israel in any way. And that’s bad. But his conclusion is “that’s good, Jews should be silenced.”
The democrats elevating this utter garbage human being are no different than the Republicans who can’t stop sucking off Fuentes. I lose so much respect for anyone who thinks this guy is chill.

There should be a study as to when and why blacks convert to islam.
I'd guess mostly in prison. Then they muscle up in prison gyms and are set free to poison the well.
Around 20yrs ago my parents and a few other couples would bring soap, books, etc to prison with their pastor in MS. They were told by the warden that islam was fast spreading and exceeding Christianity because the imams were frequent visitors to brainwash them.
A black moslem is often the product of prisons vs retaining Christianity that their grannies probably instilled in them.
Prison changed them in many ways and the worst is them becoming worshippers of the rock and more violence.

Good question.
I point to 2000 as the tipping point for the general insanity of the Dems. Losing the Presidency by 500-some votes broke them.
For women? Harder to point to. I think Covid really kicked it off, opened the floodgates.
That was their full flowering moment. The whole society shifted to "safety first, safety only, safety always." Safety is the driving force in the female mind.
And they got to enforce that. On everyone.
That was a constant 8-ball of ego boost for them.

Look at the voting records of Democrats in Congress. Even those who have lied and said they were moderates are all in on the agenda with their vote.
Believe them when they tell you they will attack the Bill of Rights, right elections and stack the Supreme Court. That’s just the beginning of what they are planning.

The Michigan socialist Senate nominee sat down with Jesse Watters on Jesse Watters Primetime for what should have been a straightforward conversation about where he stands on the issues. Instead, when Watters asked him whether government should regulate transgender medical procedures for children, El-Sayed did what leftists always do when they can't defend an indefensible position: He changed the subject to something bizarre and personal.
"Do you really want to have this conversation? Are you circumcised?" El-Sayed asked. Watters, visibly caught off guard, didn't answer right away. So El-Sayed asked again. "Jesse, are you?"
You probably know where this stupid question is leading.
"Yeah, yeah, but I mean, that's a personal question — doctor," Watters replied, needling El-Sayed over his background as a physician and former public health official.

Not too hard to figure out. Islam allows--even encourages--men to indulge in the behaviors that got them thrown into prison. Allah blesses them for it.
Christianity, on the other hand, requires them explicitly *rejecting* their old self and embracing a NEW self, one founded in Christ's teachings.
Much more difficult, but ultimately the only path that leads to eternal reward.

- Medicare only reimburses the docs and hospitals 60% of the real cost. Private insurance covers the missing 40%.
- Medicare recipients pay a monthly premium based on income. It's not as much as private insurance but it isn't free unless you are on Medicaid.
- Medicare only covers 80% of anything. If you want better coverage you pay for it with a Medigap plan or Medicare Advantage plan that has deductibles and co-pays that vary depending on how much you pay for it.
Medicare isn't free. Medicare for all will require massive tax increases. Medicare for all will certainly f#$k up the entire US medical industry. But it's not a problem - I'm sure we'll get medical assistance in dying like Canada has implemented to control costs.

Someone pointed out that which I did not know:
The "red" handmaids, the outfits they always put on for their little protests, were the elites.
The ones chosen to be the sex objects of the elite.
The ones that got to have sex with the rich and powerful.
While the "grey" handmaids were mere menial labor (and, I think they said, forced to watch the procreational activities of the Reds).
So basically, these women wish to be sex slaves of the elite.

Well, what was really decided was that the plaintiffs didn't have standing in the lawsuit since both no harm had been experienced and the final rule hadn't been published at the time of the lawsuit, so a lower court injunction got stayed by SCOTUS.

How many people actually read Fauci's emails where he said that his idiotic vaccine mandates would likely cause parents to avoid the measles vaccine?
Not to mention that measles infections have risen faster around the world, faster than the US even in Canada, thanks to mass illegal immigration.

Society spend millennia building guardrails and safety nets and social structures to temper the worst of these impulses, and channel them into something good and productive.
Mostly, that was getting them married off young, putting them to work in jobs and raising families, and giving them something to do.
Then, starting a few decades ago, the left decided it was a great idea to effectively remove all the safeguards keeping women's self-destructive nature in check. They would now not only be left to their own dangerous impulses, but those impulses would be cheered on and nurtured.
Of course it was a disaster.

Scott Presler has proposed installing monitoring equipment outside polling places and ballot drop boxes in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. The idea is straightforward: create a clear, continuous record of who approaches these critical points in the election process and what they do there.
Unsecured drop boxes and lightly observed polling sites have repeatedly produced legitimate questions about chain of custody, multiple ballots, and last-minute dumps. Visible monitoring removes the shadows that allow those questions to grow. When every approach is recorded, the opportunity for misconduct shrinks and public confidence rises.
Election integrity is not optional. Practical safeguards that document activity around the physical infrastructure of voting protect the value of every legal ballot. States that still treat drop boxes as honor-system locations are choosing opacity over transparency. Recording the process is a basic step toward ensuring that only lawful votes decide outcomes.

I think that higher level is trying to stoke violence against their mouthpieces, seeing it as a win-win. If people lash out, they think they will have a blank check to retaliate with the organs of the state. If not... well, putting boots on faces is an end in and of itself.
It will not go the way they think; their march through the institutions has weakened things they take for granted. They are treating western martial/government power as a cargo cult and don't understand that the remnants of western civ won't go out alone if it comes to that.
They have also prevailed for a century on their opponents being "nice", but a lot of dudes I know are just waiting to fire up the excavators. You can't act like these freaks and then expect much mercy. We are past the point of deflecting consequences with simple name calling.

I point to 2000 as the tipping point for the general insanity of the Dems. Losing the Presidency by 500-some votes broke them.
For women? Harder to point to. I think Covid really kicked it off, opened the floodgates.
That was their full flowering moment. The whole society shifted to "safety first, safety only, safety always." Safety is the driving force in the female mind.
And they got to enforce that. On everyone.
That was a constant 8-ball of ego boost for them.
Taking that away. Then the end of Roe. That's what broke them.
And we're seeing the only thing they know: The tantrum to force others to do what they want.

The Morning Rant
Over the next 15 years, the enrollment rates in traditional higher education are set to decline by 15 percent, the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education has predicted. Some of that has to do with falling birth rates, as fewer Americans will be turning 18 in the coming years. Some have decided to go into the trades as the costs of higher education have increased more and more over the last several decades.You don't need a college degree to run an excavator, but you do need real skill. Fixing HVAC is a real skill that is in demand, and that demand will never go away! Plumbing a new office park is a non-starter for AI, but not for 20-year-old apprentices with no debt. Making a double espresso with a cute pattern in the foam is a luxury that as labor costs rise will be replaced by automation. Real education can be had with some curiosity and a library card. Indoctrination and huge debt can be had at any number of failing universities across the country, but more and more people are figuring out that it is nothing more than a scam. When graduates leave campus unable to compose a readable email or balance a check book, but are still on the hook for tens of thousands of dollars for their useless degrees, something has to change! If I had a high school senior about to go out into the real world, the last thing on earth I would suggest is college, unless he is dead-set on medicine or engineering or one of the few professions that require higher education. Learning to weld may sound like a step down, but when he is debt-free and making $75k right out of trade school, while his friends are scrambling for entry-level jobs that don't even pay enough for their student loans, that step down might be the smartest thing he ever did!

Having my 3rd sitting as a senior this year (and successfully launching #1), I disagree with this...the actual advice should be to take on no school debt if you are going to go to college or trade school. That usually means living at home and commuting to the state school.
It's no sexy, it's not partying, but it's smart.
I also encourage all 18 year olds to get out and work or volunteer for the same group for at least 2 years...show a future employer that you were good enough to bring back the following summer/year. It doesn't matter if this is work in the major or not b/c half of the kids won't end up working in their major, but will work where holes are for entry level jobs...

That way students can be forewarned that their Aztec Lesbian Poetry BA isn't gonna cover the $80-100K in debt that will accrue.
Also, those students who graduate with degrees that don't support the debt level needed to attain them should be able to sue those colleges, forcing them to use their billion dollar endowments to help pay off the debts.
Lastly, the government should not offer student loans for degree programs that have proven consistently to not generate post-grads a wage that can payoff the debt.

The joker in the deck is that Medicaid and Medicare expenditures have passed Social Security and are leaving it in the dust as a percent of budget that is rising the fastest besides interest on the debt.
Health Care is 2.1 Trillion in the current budget, Social Security is 1.7 trillion. Yet, Social Security even with demographic changes, due to its high payroll tax kicks in about 70-80 percent revenue per dollar spent.
Medicare tax revenue is far behind at about 50 cents on the dollar spent, and Medicaid is 800 billion as the Fed's 50 percent match plus Obamacare shit.

That used to be 'the deal', and maybe still is in some levels/areas of government. Now the pay is better, some areas it surpasses private sector due to H1Bs, but the retirement is a 401k/IRA not a guaranteed pension (which probably makes financial sense but feels like a potential insider trading issue), and you're easier to fire in some cases than you used to be.

And that is why they need to be deregulated. Small private schools commonly had some sort of tie to religious congregations but decided to become one with the world due to student financing from Uncle Sam. Returning to the past might just reinvigorate old dying religious sects and provide use for those big church campuses that are expensive to maintain for a mere one or two days per week. Using those classrooms as a basis and using the common Masters and even doctoral teachers with credentials in that faith could provide cheaper faculty costs and no fed student financing avoids the whole Fedgov apparatus. Grove City College in PA is an example.
And like removing the ABA from accrediting lawschools, states should be given the power to accredit higher ed rather than the feds deferring to these multi state blobs of administratium.

Colleges and universities want students to take LOL-I'M-FCK'ED degrees. Worthless degrees, with worthless students that haven't even mastered 6th-grade reading, writing, and arithmatic.
Solution:
Go all Che Guevara on the college and uni administrators. Sieze their funds. Student loan forgiveness will be based on money ripped out from the frauds and from the endowments.
Higher education got their nice carve out. You can't even bankrupt out of that debt. The unis get paid up-front - the loans are with the government. And there's no proper controls on price because the market has been distorted so much. Fake courses, fake professors, fake learning, but charging a premium for it. And pushing laws (like not allowing hiring tests) that forced a bachelor's degree as a minimum requirement to get hired.
So, make them pay for it. Harvest them like a Chinese eunuch salivating over a caged Uyghar's organs. Rip out every brick of the buildings for resale. Sell tickets to a Salt-The-Earth show.
Burn them to the ground.

Starting as a welder making $75K is good in and of itself, but it isn't necessarily a lifetime commitment, you can do many things over your life. Or you can start a business in your trade and put down good economic roots.
One thing is certain, with a trade a young person can move around, live anywhere, and always be welcome and find work. You can travel pretty much anywhere.
Avoid college, gain a useful trade, and you'll be financially well off and can live a varied life.

I can relate. I started my career in aviation as a mechanic, working OT to make ends meet and I dreaded the weekday the tool truck came by. Then when I got the taco wagon stocked, I transitioned to inspection and after a while, I weaseled my way into engineering (without a degree) by doing the gruntwork the enginerds didn't want to do. By the time I went back to engineering school in my late 40s, I realized I should have done that in my 20s.

Everyone of course wants their guy to answer the phone right away and come right out and fix their shit that day.
There's a whole subculture of commercial property owners who have the same problem. Say a bathroom fan needs to be replaced. No big deal, right? Well it is, because they often don't have a dedicated repair guy. They put it out for bids, like Uber for Contractors. It's the dumbest goddamned thing I've ever seen.
They charge ridiculous prices for the most simple things. You might have to wait 3 or 4 months to actually get paid, but you can bank doing simple stupid shit, being on call and getting stuff fixed for them right away.
This is one reason why the poor beleaguered can't get anyone to come out and fix anything. They can make way more money gouging someone else.

Nope, that money is coming from boosters with deep pockets. Sportsball is actually a money loser for almost all US universities, by last account, about ten to fifteen actually make a profit if you used std. accounting.
What is inevitable is the NIL is hollowing and destroying college athletics and with the gambling mania for sportsball betting on everything now, not just point spread, it is highly likely to have multiple massive sportsball betting scandals soon.
A classic example was LSU shelling out (pre NIL days) huge salaries for football coaches who they then fired while their library was deteriorating and had a massive roof leak problem.
Want cheaper education, separate and spin off sportsball athletics (keep the rest at intermural), as semi pro operations and get rid of the student athlete requirement. Let the NIL players pay for their education or not as they want.

. . . .
"Kailey [Erhart, 22] allegedly chased the children's father, Cameron, and grandmother with a knife before the fatal attacks, according to the affidavit. Kailey also allegedly pointed a gun at the children's father and told him, 'Say goodbye to your kids,' in a video recorded on his phone, Valley News Live reported, citing police. He reportedly took the gun away from her after a struggle.
"Kailey then attacked her three young children, according to the affidavit from Mandan police. Once authorities arrived, they discovered the bodies of her three children, all of whom had cuts across their necks, inside the home. Colton was transported to a local hospital, where he underwent surgery, while the 3-year-old and 5-month-old were both pronounced dead."

The 20's are when "kids" should get settled on their career choices, and move toward financial stability, and the wife and kids ... I suppose is The American Dream.
Oh well, I had some fun along the way, and my trade (learned while in college) let me work for myself, probably 30 hours a week, most of my life, so that was nice I guess. More time for fishing and sports, but not enough cash flow to feel comfortable for marriage and (expensive) kids.
But people a little more serious about a life plan than I was could do well in The Trades, even working in more of a 9-5 job for an established employer.

Yes, but not just Clemson, USC as well. I had to look it up but I think it's 7 years and for in-state students only.
Years ago Clemson always attracted out-of-state students, especially from the northeast, because it was still a good deal compared to their in-state schools. I dunno if that's still a thing.
I have Unpopular Opinions about Clemson's crazy growth in particular, but mostly because it's a massive PITA even to drive through town nowadays.

In the 14 years after 9/11, from 2001 to 2015, the U.S. only revoked 122,000 visas.
Since taking office, the Trump admin has revoked more than 175,000 visas. Just 18 months. Targeting 200,000 more foreigners on top of that is a huge, unprecendented escalation."

Even as their own CBC admits that was a lie by Carney.
Only two countries placed retaliatory tariffs on the US in response to Trump:
China and Canada
China, because, China.
Canada, because they've been dumping Chinese goods re-labeled as "made in Canada" on the US.
That was why talks broke down.
We had a deal, that they'd stop doing that.
Then Carney was called in to the boss's office in Beijing.

I think ballistic made an excellent point. I'm a smallish 50ish female who works out regularly, and I have to occasionally get just inside the crawl space door with a shop vac after heavy rain. If I have to make multiple trips to empty the vac, I feel like I've been hit by a truck. I don't know how even young guys work in confined spaces (often with critters or the evidence thereof) all day every day for years. I'm really grateful that they do, happy to pay for their work, and I hope they are planning for less demanding physical work when the time comes...

Our ruling class has a lot to be blamed for and treating their fellow countrymen as dirt under their feet is one of them. Somewhere perhaps about 1976 or so, patriotism among a large swath of the ruling class disappeared.
It started in the 30's on the down low, spread in the 40's to elite circles and then spread like wildfire through colleges and universities during the sixties as something to sneer about.
And yes, the Democrats in office during those times were the canary in the coal mine.

That in part is why accrediting agencies need to be blown up--they don't measure for real outcomes but rather process (and yes, I was on our university's departmental team for accreditation prep and response).
Accreditation metrics are essentially bullshit when the real metric would be does your program turn out people that are qualified for the jobs they seek and get. These agencies focus instead of tedious and stupid internal workings of the universities rather than quality of product.

-Wanted to be an airline pilot ever since grade school.
-Best way to achieve that was flying first in the military.
-Needed a college degree for that.
-Got one (advertising, because it was interesting and easy).
-Got a private pilot license, too.
-Applied to and accepted for both Navy and Air Force flight program.
-Chose Navy.
-Got out of military with the kind of experience airlines are looking for.
Got a B737 type rating paid for under GI Bill.
Got hired, flew a lot, then retired.
Never once worked in the field of my college degree and never planned to. Getting it was simply to check a box to achieve the real objective.

Duke Power required a high school diploma or GED for employment (not even a college degree). HOWEVER, they also offered a test that you could take if you didn't have either. Asshole Griggs failed the test and sued, and the insane Supreme Court decided that too many black people failed the test, and that was Duke's fault, EVEN IF THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THE TEST WASN'T RACIST.
So now NO COMPANY will offer any kind of actual test in lieu of a degree. The only way to get any kind of quality was to say, 'nope, this degree is a hard requirement'.
And then universities and idiot leftist women set about trying to give EVERYBODY a diploma.
And now we are at the logical conclusion of 'everybody deserves a degree'. Degrees themselves are worthless, and teachers simply pass failing students.

New guy at my place. I've been kinda guiding him on stuff.
New project comes up, not fully in our line of work.
But a good one to exercise mental muscle as working on it will have broader, long term value for him.
He hands it off to a lower rung.
I'm annoyed. And I'm not all "rah, rah, this is the way I done it, you can too!"
Your degree only gets you in the door, it doesn't mean you can do the job.

He is now a multi-millionaire because he built his business with 16 hour days and few if any vacations. Once he became established he stepped back a bit.
Both his kids, with college degrees, will never make what he did.

It pisses off a nation's elites most of all because it means that they too, by consequence, are not as important as they desire. Some emigrate to the great powers and try to ingratiate themselves into the system (you see that in the US and UK in the past). Others stay home and sulk because of 'fairness' and even the emigres are not allowed to ascend the political and power ladder in places like Japan, much of Euroland, etc .
Canada's best and brightest usually emigrated to America or the other Anglo countries. And that means the rest of their ruling class are resentful but would rather reign in hell in their bailiwick than give up their seat of power.

I happened to take a microbiology course that I aced and then worked as a phlebotomist one summer, draining patients of their morning blood samples. I looked about 16yrs old, so that was probably alarming for those that were awake. Both made me interested in possibly becoming a MD (I know, go ahead and laugh and get it over with). I took premed classes, did well in chemistry and dropped physics.
This led to nursing and it was the right thing to do vs working in a lab, reading machines for lab tests, and culturing urine, poo and nasty wounds. I needed people.
I did love all of my many jobs and no regrets.
I noted about 15yrs ago random cousin's children all wanting to be video game designers. Thinking they'd make it big in Hollywood or something idiotic vs making a living. None were smart.
Three nieces of my dude's went to an expensive private HS, did not seem stupid, and none have used their degree.

I think disparate treatment is likely on the chopping block for Scotus in the near future. The one bright spot of the Roberts court is deracializing the law and returning to the original conception of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, focus on the individual, not the group.

This has gotten worse under Trump, but it's not new by any means.
Never mind the typical fate of small (in population), defenseless, resource-rich countries that happen to border a Hitler or a Stalin.
Let's play What Would Hitler Do.
1) Flatten Toronto, Ottawa, Vancouver, and maybe Winnipeg. Offer terms of surrender to Calgary and Edmonton. If they refuse, flatten them too.
2) Drop all bridges on the Trans-Canada Highway and the CN railroad.
3) Bomb all power plants and pipelines.
4) Mine the St. Lawrence Seaway and the Strait of Georgia.
5) Send Marines to occupy the Western Canadian oilfields (don't bomb those... we'll want them later).
6) Wait one winter.
7) Send in troops to shoot the starving, cannibalistic survivors. There won't be very many of them.

Yeah, Canada is amazingly foolish. It's crazy. They had a once or twice in history good thing going. A friendly relationship with a global hegemon who borders them.
All they had to do was:
1.) Never piss off the hegemon, and;
2.) Be just a *little bit* more business friendly than the hegemon.
That's it. They could have shit in high cotton forever. But starting with Trudeau's cuck father, they did the opposite.

Overwhelmingly meh would also mean that 100 master artists could spend their entire lives working to improve this piece and it would still be mid. It's mediocrity would swallow up their talent like the ocean swallows a single tear cried by Greta Thunberg when she discovers that someone, somewhere, is living comfortably.

An old, crusty farmer has successfully wooed and married a pretty, younger woman. He is taking her (and her baggage) to his home in his buggy. Along the way, the horse sees a sheep dog working his flock in a field and balks, stumbling. This knocks the man and woman askew in the buggy, nearly tumbling her to the ground.
The farmer gets out of the buggy, grabs the horse by his bridle, shakes vigorously, and says in a low growl, "That's one."
He remounts and they continue on their way.

He remounts and the continue on.
About a mile from the house, the horse stumbles, going down, and taking the buggy with it, the front rails digging into the road and causing the man and his wife to slam into the front portion of the woodwork.
The farmer gets out, goes up to the horse, and shouts, "That's three!" He then takes out his revolver and shoots the horse.

One of the best things that can happen to America in 2026 is El-Sayed losing convincingly in a swing state.
At least 5 points.
Do I think that will happen? I dunno. MI is weird (and corrupt).
But it would send a message.

As the farmer reholsters his pistol and moves back to the buggy, the woman begins to berate him, "Why did you shoot the horse? Now we'll have to walk and carry everything! Why did you do that to the horse? It was just a stumble."
Interrupting her, the man leaned in and said in a low voice, "That's one."

The AI’s are so intelligent.
Toulouse-Lautrec’s The Trap is one of his darker images of Parisian nightlife. It’s not a literal trap so much as a picture of people caught in the social world of drinking, poverty, prostitution, and the margins of respectable Paris.
The title is especially suggestive because Lautrec was fascinated by Montmartre’s bars, brothels, dance halls, and the people who lived in them. He generally didn’t paint these people as moral warnings or grotesques. He knew many of them personally and tended to observe them with a surprisingly unsentimental sympathy

I'm still convinced that all of the election efforts are ultimately and mostly for 2028, not 2026.
DOJ knows legal timelines. They take a while. DOJ also knows that it can work through 2027 and 2028 even if Democrats take Congress.
The presidency is the only prize at the federal level anymore. Making sure Democrats can't win it in 2028 (leading into the 2030 census) is probably the most important project over the next decade.

It'll be like the difference between anti-W hate and anti-Romney hate.
We didn't get an extended exposure to leftists reacting to Romney, but it's hard to imagine the intensity of Bush McChimpHitler transferring to Romney. There's an exhaustion that sets in. A relief that the battle is one in some way because the Devil is gone from office.
And Trump has a specific feminine problem, his multiple wives and rumors of philandering. Vance doesn't have that. He's been happily married to his law school sweetheart and they have 4 kids together.

Still listening to Red Storm Rising. Got to the part of the story where the guys trying to hide from the soviets while they are invading/occupying Iceland kill a KGB patrol who decided to rape and murder a family.
When I read this, it was about '91 or '92 (I was 16-17) and I remember I kept getting unlucky and getting books with rape in them used for dramatic purposes. I decided I heartily disliked the trope. STILL dislike the trope.
The book is still good though. Like a different world.

The arguments will happen. Dedicated Democrat partisans and ideological leftists will believe it in their bones.
But those people vote in every election and don't matter.
What matters is the soft-leftist/Democrat. The ones who can be convinced, in one way or another, to vote or...not vote. Who vote 1 out of every 4 elections or so.
"Trump is going to rape me just like Jean Carroll whatshername," seems to have some effect on soft-Democrats.
"Vance is opposed to this policy proposal that I'm supposed to support," will not.

Two years away is a long time in politics. After the midterms, political attention will go toward the invisible primary where quasi interested pols will raise some money for a Super Pac, test the local political activists and officeholders in key early states to lock down commitments, and start laying down markers with interest groups/activists as to what their proposed agenda is.
And events affect this--Iran, inflation, debt, election security, etc. etc.
About July to August of 2027, you will have a basic field locked in for early primaries.

Complicating matters is the fact they are no longer allowed to do their job in many jurisdictions. Inevitably this raises the question - why are we paying for this?
Some DEI hire actually held a press conference in Baltimore or someplace like that, allowing that roving bands of rioters "just need room to destroy". Don't be fooled, none of these clowns want to "defund the police" per se, they just want to infiltrate the institution, kill it, gut it, wear its skin as a suit and demand respect.
While they lock up decent, peaceable citizens. We're already in the "empty the prisons" stage, de facto, by way of refusing to incarcerate serial criminals.

How a Quartet of American Musicians Outwitted the KGB
"In 1985, while the United States engaged in a battle of nuclear brinkmanship, four Americans landed in Moscow on a mission to smuggle secret information in and out using music as their cipher. Under the watchful eye of the KGB, the group faced countless challenges and risks—because they weren’t trained in espionage. In fact, they were musicians with the New England-based Yiddish-music focused Klezmer Conservatory Band (KCB).
"Now, the quartet’s saxophonist, Merryl Goldberg, together with Vince Houghton, the Director of the National Security Agency’s National Cryptologic Museum, tell the harrowing story of how Goldberg devised an ingenious plan to encode the intelligence within the group’s sheet music."

Depends on whether you believe that the opposition to Trump is personality or policy.
I think for the leaders of the left globo homo, it is policy because Trump's policies destroy their power base (like an honest election and Census does in the US, destroying Iran's regime in the Middle East, etc.). Street level Dem Activists personalize this into Trump but have had a habit of demonizing every GOP president since Dewey with the possible exception of Ike. Ike, they just called dumb.

The Morning Report — 8/ 25 /26
Good morning kids. Well let's start off with some encouraging if not actual good news for a change. First up, we go to the immigration front which President Trump has been a stalwart champion on.
The Trump administration is preparing to revoke the business and tourism visas of up to 200,000 foreigners who have applied for or are currently seeking asylum status in the United States. If it happens, the move would be the largest single mass revocation of visas in U.S. history and would likely face legal challenges.Next, we have election fraud which beyond any reasonable doubt denied him victory in 2020, and so it brings us to this rather shocking in a good way development out of the Supreme Court, a court that back when wreckage cleared from that disaster merely poked at the ruins instead of its duty in defending the nation.
The states sued too early. The states and DC’s claims are way too speculative . . . The Supreme Court has paused a lower court’s ruling that blocked parts of President Donald Trump’s executive order limiting mail-in ballots with a 6-3 vote. This ruling does not have anything to do with the new USPS mail-ballot rules. Another injunction still blocks those rules. The majority agreed that the administration will likely “succeed on the merits of its jurisdictional argument, that the injunction is causing it irreparable harm, and that the equities do not favor leaving the injunction in place while the Government’s appeal is pending.”Obviously mail-in ballots go hand-in-hand with open borders insofar as greasing the wheels as it were of Democrats' patented election-rigging. You don't necessarily need millions of illegal alien wetbacks to actually cast physical ballots when your flunkies control the voter rolls and election process beginning to end, along with a postal service that will deliver ballots to anyone anywhere. And so, we'll just have to wait and see how all this plays out as the midterms draw nearer. On top of all that, there's this all-too-delicious to contemplate story.
President Donald J. Trump appeared to confirm on Sunday that federal immigration authorities are examining Representative Ilhan Omar‘s (D-MN) immigration history, sharing a report on Truth Social about U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) refusing to release records related to its investigation into her by citing a federal exemption for materials that could interfere with active enforcement proceedings... The FOIA request rejection will intensify public scrutiny of Omar and raise fresh questions about whether the Trump administration is potentially pursuing immigration enforcement action against a sitting member of Congress.This evil grifting slag and her entire brood of mutants deserve immediate ejection from this country whom they hate with every fiber of their being. That they were even allowed entry and citizenship in the first place is a stain on our heritage and history, given the repulsive and criminal deception she engaged in to gain the tremendous privilege of American citizenship in the first place. Sadly, the odds of her and her brood being given the boot are slim and none given her pigmentation, Islamic background and of course her all important status as a Democrat. Still, perhaps the exposure this garners will at least in some small way have a salutary effect. Who knows, perhaps that may even be happening beneath the surface.
Something fascinating is going on below the surface: Black voters are loudly rejecting socialism. . . The trouble is that DSA acolytes tend to be lily-white and overeducated. A 2021 survey found that 85% were white and 80% had college degrees. Those demographics don’t work in most districts.. . Meanwhile, between 2020 and 2025, the number of black voters who identify with the Democratic Party has dropped by 10 points. For years, they were the Dems’ most reliable voting bloc; now they’re walking away. Black voters are voting with their feet.So, yes it's all well and good to go after Bro-Fo Omar, but given the fact that CAIR aids and abets in global terrorism including that which kills Americans both abroad and at home, that they still not only exist but are influencing our politics is blood-boiling beyond belief. If anything needs dismantling it's CAIR.
CAIR, which was designated an unindicted coconspirator of a Hamas front group in 2008, has sought to distance itself from the Unity & Justice Fund and claims that it neither created nor funded the super PAC. "CAIR has never donated any funds to any political campaigns, PACS, or SuperPACS, nor has CAIR established any PACS, nor has CAIR ever endorsed any candidates," said CAIR deputy executive director Edward Mitchell. "Doing so would be illegal." That is true by a narrow legal definition. But CAIR two years ago openly created CAIR Action, which immediately established the Unity & Justice Fund. CAIR and CAIR Action share board members and have shared the same street address in the past.Death to CAIR... Have a good day,

I haven't been following this Lindsay Clancy trial, as it's another White Woman Soap Opera. But I fear Clancy's supporters have more sinister goals.
- Normalizing killing your children. New York and Massachusetts have just said that killing a full-term fetus is A-OK, so why not extend it?
- Normalizing special mental illness that only women can suffer from.
- The usual and customary male hate.
- Imparting the notion that having children is so deleterious to women's health that women should never have them.
- Agitating for government moolah for having and raising children. Like, no woman can have a child without unlimited time off, free diapers, free food, etc.

When we took over, the FBI Laboratory faced a DNA-processing backlog of more than 1.81 MILLION samples.
Today: ZERO.
🔺 1.81M+ samples processed
🔺 Backlog had been growing by roughly 75,000 samples per month
🔺 Hundreds of thousands of samples were arriving each year
🔺 Profiles can help solve homicides, sexual assaults, mass shootings, and other violent crimes
🔺 Equipment upgraded
🔺 Resources redirected
🔺 Technology improved
🔺 Bureaucratic barriers removed
DNA profiles belong in CODIS helping law enforcement solve crimes—not stalled in a government backlog.
Under President Trump’s leadership, we are rebuilding the FBI around one standard: MISSION FIRST.

Well. Nothing really politically.
There are more abortions per year now than there were before Roe was overturned, though.
It's like all those women pounding tylenol to make Trump look dumb. He said 'abortion is up to the states,' and maybe they're trying to make a point by killing their kids?

@MarkRuffalo
The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect. Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.

Rather than suggesting Election and Grace are random lottery drawings, the chief purpose of man is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.
With Saul of Tarsus, he didn't have a compilation of letters, teachings and ministry to the Church prior to the Damascus Road experience. And even then, Saul, now Paul, spent three years under direct teaching before he entered into the ministry, and continually had to excuse his former self.
Mohammed is the exact opposite. If it was legitimately claimed that he received Grace, it would be profoundly difficult to separate Mohammed's prior work's authority out of received canon.
Mohammed, like wicked rulers in the past, served God's Plan and Purpose - sort of as an anti-Paul.

@GuntherEagleman
The liberal media is already writing Sophie Cunningham’s WNBA eulogy.
“Her future is suddenly in doubt.” “Get released after this season.”
Why? Because she had the audacity to say women should compete against women.
Not because of her shooting. Not because of her defense. Because she refused to pretend biological men belong in the women’s league.
They’ll platform every activist who wants to erase women’s sports, then act shocked when a player who defends them becomes “controversial.”
This isn’t about basketball. It’s about punishing the one who won’t play along.

Do they have Christian badges where you visit a Church and read the Bible ? Or Jewish badges where you visit a Synagogue and read the Torah ?
That is a gross understatement. Simply "reading the Bible or Torah" is lightyears away from "learning the pillars of Islam".
The five pillars of Islam are core acts of worship:
Faith, Prayer, Charity, Fasting and Pilgrimage.
"Learning" in Islam is:
Studying, mastering the proper steps, rules and methods to perform rituals (like prayer and fasting), and putting these Duties into practice.

The job of Cunningham's coach is not to help her team win, it's to pump up "the message". Clark, despite basically toeing the leftist line harms the message because she is white plays well. Cunningham harms the message because, regardless of what her larger political beliefs may be, she is pro-female in a pro-insanity league.

Haha, that's a little misleading, because Lake Erie has a shelf coastal zone that isn't deep, but the Lake averages 70-80 feet deep in the central part of the lake. Massive ore boats loaded with minerals used in steel making navigate the lake from Minnesota into Cleveland, so it is deeper than you might think (at least in spots). It used to freeze in the winter though, like a shallow lake should.

Then, I wanted to order a bunch of electronic components, put my order through, and... nope. Some type of unknown security problem with my account. No explanation. Did some digging and a LOT of people had previously had that problem, and there's no resolution for it. You delete your account, then re-create it, apparently, and that fixes it (for a time.)
(No, I don't remember the exact error message, this was over a year ago.) The practical upshot though was you could shop all you wanted, you just couldn't check out (kind of an e-vendor version of Hotel California.)
In Firefox, I use uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, NoScript, Port Authority, but most importantly for this post: Canvas Blocker (which blocks fingerprinting attempts by returning random data.)
Now I'm wondering if their site autoflagged my account as "unfingerprintable". "Go away, we can't sell your data so you're not a good 'customer' to us."
Maybe.

He killed a mouse earlier this year -- at least I suppose it was him; he was tracking it for a few days before I found the corpse on the bedroom floor. No, just more play time. He has a fluffy mouse toy on a cord he loves to jump up and seize. I'll see if he will chase it along the ground, too. He's not a slug; he plays chase with Dagny all the time.
He's only 4.5 years old, too early to be overweight and maybe head into diabetes.

Dagny loves those. I throw them. She races after them, touches them, and then gallops back to me without carrying them in her mouth. So I have to go get the toy in order to continue the game. She has the theory down, but not the practice.

If he needs steel toe (Since I don't recall what kind of work he does), start with looking at Red Wing and Danner. And there are safety shoes with a plastic toe instead of metal which tends to be a bit more comfortable.
And have him see if his company will pay for it. I've worked with companies that had a budget every year for us to get work shoes.

Admittedly, for the password safe to be of best utility, it should have a very strong password itself. Mine is 16 random characters, including upper case, lower case, numbers, and special characters. But I made sure to use the same for my Windows login, so that I would use it all the time. And it's also written down on a slip of paper in my wallet, just in case.

Fen, just be aware that the high-cost, hoity-toity, high-falutin' work shoe brands last no longer than any other shoe. Work shoes for like nurses and such, I mean, not boots like Red Wings.

The moment the league didn’t discipline Sophie Cunningham for her transphobic comments, they set the table for almost all of this political discourse and nastiness towards the trans community. Her conduct has objectively been detrimental to the league.

The WNBA isn't a league, it's a soap opera. Has anyone in the history of the WNBA ever discussed the play in one single game? No, all the interest is driven by the off-court drama. Which, I suppose, makes it the exemplary female sport.

One of the more common applications was shortening the length of a ship by using a darker shade of gray for a portion of the bow and then creating a false bow wave where the new bow was located.
If the submarine gets the ship length wrong and the false bow wave gives an incorrect speed reading, then the chances of a successful torpedo attack drop significantly.

The Germans and Austrians had a dazzle camouflage for their fighters in WWI, it was the Lozenge Camo, and often the German pilots would paint their "personal" color over top of it.

Could be. I remember reading about it, or maybe it was a video. I think the pilot took it upon himself to try it and painted it himself. I don't remember the outcome. Part of remembers it working, but I'm just not sure. Supposedly it broke the enemy's ability to stay focused on the plane in a dogfight.

Similar to how Google mandated that dates would disappear (not on AoS) and everything would be based on "now" - so a video wasn't posted in "September of 2015", it was posted "11 years ago".
This gives nobody any chance to physically "place" the video or text in time or memory. Because the brain has a constant association related to the fall of 2015 - feelings, senses, who was president, what was going on, what their life was like, but of course zero association with "11 years ago" which changes with every year.
This puts us in, you guessed it, "an eternal present in which the party is always right". Probably just a coincidence.

There was a great restaurant in Spenard that was called The Garden of Eatin'. It was an old WWII Quonset hut with a few windows in the curved parts. It was awesome food, but apparently the life of a Quonset hut is limited by time and weather, and eventually it went out of business and was torn down.

Captain Henry Miller Shreve cleared the Great Raft logjam from the Red River between 1833 and 1838, using innovative snag boats to improve navigation. His efforts transformed the river into a navigable waterway, significantly aiding transportation in the region.
He lost about 100 slaves and 50 mules.

Bah!! I hate that crap. It's everywhere now. Figures that it was a Google idea.
It also seems lately to be popular to NEVER sort by default by date properly, prefering someone's idea of "relevance".
This nonsense has crept into our wider culture, noticeably affecting how young people in particular talk about things....of course, that has probably always been somewhat the case, and now that I am 29, I notice more.

Re that Moon transit picture from last thread. That was taken from the EPIC camera on the DSCOVR satellite. That spacecraft is at the Sun-earth L1 point and this is always in line with the Sun and Erf. SOHO and some others are there to. This is ideal for these types of observations.
Now the complications. While it's "at L1" to first order, it's actually in rather complex type of 3-body orbit known as a Lissajou or HALO orbit. Explanation of that would be a gross violation of the No Math Rule by a long shot.
Anyway, the line between the spacecraft and the earth is no exactly parallel with the earth-sun line and is slightly out of plane and that varies around over the course of a year, and one earth orbit. So, when the Moon transits the earth from DSCOVR's perspective, it is not an eclipse from earth's perspective, and when there is an eclipse from earth's perspective, the Moon will not be transiting from DSCOVR's perspective.
You'd just have to loop up illustrations of the HALO orbit to see this.

They publishes about 12 to 20+ images of earth everyday, allowing for little "movies" of one earth rotation every day since 2015, save for few weeks every now and then when something gets out of whack with the spacecraft.
Here is one of their galleries of noteworthy events they've taken over years, including eclipses and transits:

The eclipse ones will show the shadow of the Moon moving across the face of earth. And note you will not see the Moon anywhere.

Well, no. Went out later and found it sitting on the ground. I approached it, and it did the hop&flop act again, trying to get away. I cornered it under some overhanging tall grass, and gently picked it up. Furious squawking ensued. I two-handed threw it up in the air, and it tried to fly, but steadily lost altitude, and crash-landed. I approached again, and it flopped under a car chassis, so I let it be. My guess is it has some kind of CNS problem? And I don't know what kind of bird it is. Brown/gray, black bill, white spot on its upper back near the base of the tail, and the wings are barred with Bright yellow feathers visible only when the wings are spread. About the size of a mourning dove.

Aristarchus first estimated the distance to the Moon from eclipse timings, which was later refined by Hipparchus. They came up with 60 earth radii, which is almost dead on.
They also attempted to calculate the distance to the sun, but were off by a factor of 400. The trouble was that was very sensitive to an angle they were trying to measure, which they estimated as 87 degrees, when it was actually 89.83. That ~3 degree error caused that 2 order of magnitude error.

The Ancient Greek Homo methods there are the first examples of the "distance ladder" notion they call it. You can't stretch a ruler out to the Moon and directly measure it. But by using observations and geometry you can relate that distance to smaller distances that you can actually measure, or are known from the next rung below on the distance ladder.
So, they got the distance to the Moon in terms of earth radii/diameters. As mentioned above, Testicles figured out the polar circumference and thus the radius.
Testicles used a distance ladder one run below for that. He knew the distance between two cities along a meridian, and comparing the sun angle at high noon, he got the circumference.

The (mean) distance to the sun, the dreaded AU, astronomical unit wasn't accurately determined to much later, after Kepler, Halley(pbuh) and Newton (pbuh indeed).
The method finally used was based on Halley's method of the transit of Venus. Halley died before that was successfully used.
The method is some beautiful, but complex geometry and you can look up the details if interested.

The ARNP I chose is, of course, on maternity leave til December. I asked what about my refills? It will be passed on to someone. Ok. I guess. I don't use her for anything but refills anyway. If I'm sick I go to urgent care or the ED as I ain't got time to wait for them to see me.
The next appt after her baby is in December and that means I will be with all the gross sick people as I wait for the meeting. UGH
It is stupid to be this annoyed, I know. I could wake up not stupid tomorrow. I have no right to be ornery, all things considered and what others are dealing with vs phone calls to people I don't want to talk to.

Man, I hate changing docs/NPs.
At least maternity leave is a good reason.
I'm waiting to see what the replacement for one of mine is like. She also left for a maternity-related reason. Her recent baby was born with some serious health issues, and she's taking time off to deal with that. Her husband is also a doctor, I think, so the kid's probably got as much of a fighting chance as he could have.
I'll miss her, but of course I don't blame her.

The transit of Venus method needed far-flung observations across the globe to see tiny parallax differences as well as accurate clocks. This latter tied in with the dreaded longitude problem.
Calculating the AU was BFD, and they went on far flung expeditions all over the place to get widely separated observation points. Captain Cook was involved in one of the expeditions, and several people died (I think some were killed by hostile natives) during that.
The precision of angle measurement required was in a few arc seconds. The time precision required was a second or two.
So, they had to have their clocks synchronized to within a second over the four corners of the earth, and their angular precision down to the arc-second.
And they did it.

I would love if that was the only problem. Bolts can be changed. This thing is on a whole different level. One example. They mounted the front of the rear fender to the frame, the back of the fender is mounted to the swingarm. The swingarm moves when you hit bumps, and the frame don't, and they obviously missed this little detail, so if the bike goes on the road and hits a bump the fender is going to fold like a cheap camera. The owner talls me. "its a hardtail". Uh, no you stupid asshole. Its a softail, it looks like a hard tail, but there's shocks mounted under the frame. It was a beautiful design. Looks old, rides modern. See those things under the frame???? Those are shocks, this swingarm pivots, its not a hardtail. Ugh..

Transits of Venus occur in a 243 year cycle, occurring in two pairs per cycle. Each pair is abut 8 years apart, followed by about 105 years, another pair, and then 121 years to the next.
The last pair was in 2004 and 2012. Amateurs and student projects recreated the Halley method both times for fun.
The original 1761 and 1769 transits done by the greats had an error of around 1 - 3%. They continued to refine and reanalyze the observational data until the next pairs.
The errors in the 2004 and 2012 recreations were as low as 1% up to 5%. The students and amateurs there had the benefit of modern clocks and modern optics, which the guys in the 18th century didn't have by a long shot.

Nowadays, the boys at JPL know the distance between earth and sun to about 3 meters precision at any time.
After decades of lunar laser ranging allowing the precise center of mass of the Moon to be determined, they know the distance between the centers of the earth and moon to within a few millimeters now. Officially they'd say about 2 cm, but in the 20 years since that, they've got to down to the few mm level.

They worked all those distances out last century using planetary radar ranging using big radio dishes. Arecibo was the king, hitting 2MW peak signal power a few times.
This represents some of the most powerful signals we've ever "broadcast from earth". Very tight beam widths though. But if someone was in the path of the beam, they'd be detectable to at least 200 ly, and maybe 1000 or a little better up to limits of signal to noise.

Believe it or not, it is possible to bounce a radar beam off the Sun itself. It's very noisy and not too accurate, but it can be done. The Sun is a noisy beast. So, via orbital mechanics (and a relativistic model) at that, timings and radar distances between planets and other solid objects determines the sun-earth and sun-other body distances.
That's why they put SOHO and the other L1 spacecraft in those crazy HALO orbits. You don't want to have to point your radio dish right at the sun to hear them. You need to little offset because of all that noise.

You know what the best place for a massive radio telescope would be? The far side of the Moon. Completely blocks out all the noise from earth in a lot of interesting frequencies, and no ionosphere and all that. Of course, you'd want to do it during the night, when the sun is blocked.

Mrs B used to go to Puerto Rico 1 or 2 times a year for her job. Her hotel was very close to the dish, so she went a few times to see it. She said the walk up to it was brutal. I could have went with her on those trips, but wtf would I possibly do during the day while she was working on site. I was there a few times as it is. No thanks, rather stay home.

He wouldn't have the money. the bike is a mess. It has to be completely taken apart to the last bolt and put back together by the numbers. The last thing we discovered on friday was the swingarm pivot bolts were loose, so we tried to tighten them and the swing arm shifted over and mashed itself the frame. It was missing the spacers that keep the swing arm centered. The shop owner blew a gasket. He spent an hour pulling destroyed bearings out of the back wheel, mounted the right brake rotor instead of the wrong one that was on it, put the back wheel back on, wrestled with frozen axle adjusters, etc. I told him it all had to come apart again for me to get the swingarm out to install the spacers. He lost his shit.

No shit. One time we stopped there on a cruise. We went to some fort in old San Juan. One of the cruise dudes says "They shelled this fort and it still looks in good shape". I turned around and pointed to the city and said "yeah, because they missed and hit the fucking city".

This is wild, just looking at a concept for building a radio dish in far side crater. Several robot landers. One would land in the center of the crater. It would have this rolled up wire-mesh thing inside. You'd then land a number of "DuAxel" rovers inside. The receiver would be deployed over the crater using those to pull some steel cables suspending it. They'd then anchor the cables on the rim.
The DuAxles would then descend back to the lander in the crater bottom, and pull the wire mesh reflector affair out and up the sides of the crater.

You know what the best place for a massive radio telescope would be? The far side of the Moon. Completely blocks out all the noise from earth in a lot of interesting frequencies, and no ionosphere and all that. Of course, you'd want to do it during the night, when the sun is blocked.
That would them to probe a lot of interesting frequencies going way back in cosmological scales to see some ancient shit.
There's an idea to use a crater on the far side as an big Arecibo like dish.

There was a great restaurant in Spenard that was called The Garden of Eatin'. It was an old WWII Quonset hut with a few windows in the curved parts. It was awesome food, but apparently the life of a Quonset hut is limited by time and weather, and eventually it went out of business and was torn down.

There is theoretically some very interesting shit out their at frequencies below 30 MHz (> 10 m). This could back in time to just a few hundred million years before t = 0. The Cosmic Dark Ages they call it.
For optical and infrared telescopes, L2 is really better than the far side. The trouble with the far side at those wavelengths is the wild temperature swings.

Solar wind.
Seriously, that constantly kicks up little clouds of dust, charged too, which stick to everything. Those lunar laser reflectors Apollo placed have degraded by a factor of 10 by now due to that dust build up. All those have to do is just reflect some of the laser photons back. Precisions lenses and mirrors and all that would be far, far more sensitive to that.

THere is strange effect there beyond that. During the period around a full Moon, the deflectors do another 10 times worse, for a degradation of 100 times. This is a bit of a mystery. The think it's due to thermal effects at peak sunlight.

Image of the moon transiting the earth,

Video of an 1880 AD grist mill on Prince Edward Island. The images are nice but I'm mostly linking it because finally, at age Nearly 29, I bothered to look up the actual meaning of "grist." It means (drum roll): "grain to be milled." Okay so that's not the biggest surprise in the world but it's nice to have it all out in black and white. Baby elephant hiding under mama's skirts. A bear, and her cubs, are out-of-control as usual, this time using a family's pool as they please. Abandoned premature foal, too weak to stand, is nursed into being a healthy boy. Mama elephant wants to eat grass but baby elephant won't stop playing with her food. Scared Golden retriever is afraid of everything but likes babies enough to become a fuzzy nana. Baby learns head-butting from the best. This baby is also learning how to baby goat. Why do people say they don't like cats? Cat and dog rocking out to Yes. These woke sons-of-bastards are trying to take away our Elemenohpee.

Thank you to everyone who offered condolences for Dutchess. It was hard to let her go, but not a hard decision to do so. She was bleeding internally and Doc said it pointed to hemangiosarcoma.
Dutchess was a lovely, unlucky girl. She had epilepsy that manifested itself at a young age, precluding a career either in the show ring or the field. For nearly 10 years I had to give her medicine morning and night. While jumping and spinning around Mommy, she shattered her hock and was crate-bound for six weeks. Yet she was always a merry little girl.
Her last month was spent as a house dog when we brought everyone up. Being near Mommy and Daddy, treats and yummy greasy bread were her fate, poor thing.
Rest well, sweetheart, and wait for us.

My current pair is ALLSWIFIT, some rando Chinee shoes off Amazon, as I had worn holes in my soles and just needed something fast and cheap to hold me over until I could give the matter more consideration. They're comfortable and the sizing is correct, but the originally thick soles are predictably wearing down from all the sidewalk and street walking that I do, several miles a day every day.
You can see from the promotional photos that they're aimed at casual urban pedestrians, and people who work on their feet (barista, medical assistant) but not outdoors. According to AI, the product code on the tag is for a model alternatively called 'SwiftPlush' or 'ActiveSolid', but whatever, these look right:

In State Department lingo, this is the term for having your ass handed to you by your boss @SecRubio.
This comes after Barrack sparked an International incident this weekend and almost started a regional war between Israel, Turkey and Syria by falsely accusing Israel of illegally occupying the Golan Heights.
A source at the State Department told me, “we want him gone so badly we might hire packers to pack his belongings for him.”
Barrack may not make it back to Turkey.
We could only hope to be so lucky.

We don't have a real media on our side our many people who even pretend that Trump isn't just a bull in a China shop instead of a really smart guy with his own plan or doctrine but he does. Venezuela, Cuba, Iran weren't arbitrary targets. And guys like Bessent aren't idiots.
They are in fact brilliant strategists, the thing that makes good deal makers which some dismiss as a negative.
Trump and his team are using all the tools previous administrations ignored to change the world. And they are in a generational way. It's amazing to watch.

I was asking about the video game Skyrim, which I never played. It is obviously a fantasy game, implying Trump is a major character. With unknown super powers.
Well, in D&D terms Trump has a very high constitution and intelligence, surviving 7 assassination attempt. And upending the Deep State even a bit.
He has a high charisma, holding on to Melania, with two previous stunning wives.

We lost our beloved Abner a month ago. We have a new pup, a Great Pyr, and we love him - he has settled in and bonded with each of us as well. But the pain of our big craterhoof behemoth not being here does not and will not go away. Not him or any of our boys and girls. As it should be.
Hugs to you and your lovely wife.

I figure I can fix it. Tank is fiberglass, and it can be bonded with resin and mat. The flange bolts are rusted to conical blobs, and the lowest one I reached so far fell right out, and the joint is gaping a bit there. I drilled 3/8" holes on either side of the 3 bolts above that point, and put in some new bolts, to forestall the gap from spreading. Will need to dig deeper, yet. Moving gravel with a hand trowel is tedious.

Nike's Stock Price Falls to Its Lowest Level in 12 Years
I used to buy Nikes exclusively. I knew my size in them and they fit right. No "in between sizes" for me.
And then they started the unending woke bullshit. Dropped them like a bad habit. And it turns out that Asics and New Balance also fit me right. Oh, and also, that all of the innovations that Nike used to brag about like waffle soles and gel heel-cushions was now absolutely bog-standard sneaker tech that everyone utilized. I wouldn't have discovered that, but Nike just kept pushing and pushing and letting me know they didn't want my patronage. So I found out that other companies made equivalents of Nikes but without all the fucking shitty attitude. Seems like a lot of people had the same feeling.From Colin Kaepernick to Dylan Mulvaney, Nike's decade of left-wing activism has finally caught up to itThat was just the start, and I think I was still buying Nikes when this crap was going on. I wasn't happy about it, but whatever, I knew my size in Nike. And then they started with the BLM shit. That's when I was done. And then, of course, came Dylan Mulvaney.
Nike shoes and apparel once dominated cultural relevance, but the company's stock is now at a 12-year low
Nike spent much of the past decade making left-wing politics part of its brand and the company's stock hit a 12-year low this week. Before we get into that, we should acknowledge that the "social justice" messaging isn't the only reason the company is struggling. Nike is losing ground to newer competitors, its products haven't created the same excitement and consumers aren't exactly eager to pay more for sneakers right now. Still, it's hard not to notice what Nike has been doing while its business has sputtered: picking fights over politics, race, patriotism, transgenderism and DEI.
From Colin Kaepernick to the Betsy Ross flag, Dylan Mulvaney and a study involving "transgender" youth athletes that Nike quietly backed away from after OutKick exposed it, the company has built an impressive record of left-wing corporate activism. In February 2026, it added an EEOC investigation into alleged race discrimination against white employees and job applicants to the list. Nike wanted to be more than a shoe company. Mission accomplished.
Nike made its choice clear in 2018, when it put former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick at the center of its 30th-anniversary "Just Do It" campaign. Kaepernick, of course, became a national political figure after sitting, and later kneeling, during the national anthem because he said he refused to show pride in a flag for a country that "oppresses black people and people of color." He specifically cited "police brutality" and later wore socks to an NFL practice depicting police officers as pigs and showed support for Cuban dictator Fidel Castro. Nike decided he was the perfect guy to launch a campaign with the slogan, "Believe in something. Even if it means sacrificing everything." At that point, Nike wasn't simply sponsoring a former NFL quarterback. It was elevating the most divisive figure in American sports at the time and daring consumers to take a side. Some did. Nike received plenty of backlash, including videos of customers burning products or cutting the swooshes off their socks. But the company also received glowing coverage from corporate-media types who loved the idea of a massive American brand embracing extreme left-wing political messaging. Nike didn't back away from the Kaepernick experiment, either. The following summer, it pulled a Fourth of July-themed Air Max sneaker featuring the Betsy Ross flag after Kaepernick reportedly objected to the design. Nike said it halted distribution because of concerns the shoe could "unintentionally offend." Think about that for a second. A company built around American athletes decided that a sneaker featuring the flag associated with the country's founding was too offensive to sell around Independence Day.
I didn't even know about that. (Or, if I knew, my nearly-29-year-old brain forgot about it.)
This is where Nike's activism went from poor marketing tactics to something much more serious. In April 2025, OutKick reported that evidence indicated Nike had helped fund a study involving "transgender" youth athletes as young as 12. The proposed research was designed to track athletic and physiological changes among young people undergoing so-called "gender-affirming care." Researchers connected to the project said publicly that Nike had provided funding. Boston Children's Hospital magazine later described the research as being supported, in part, by Nike. Nike initially would not answer OutKick's repeated questions. A company executive later said on background that the study "was never initialized" and was "not moving forward." Then, trans-identifying researcher Joanna Harper, a male, said Nike had "pulled out" after "haters got wind of it." So, which was it? Was the study never initialized, as Nike claimed? Or did Nike pull out after public pressure, as one of its researchers claimed? Nike has never provided a clear public explanation that resolves that contradiction.
Corporate leftists defend turning their companies into leftwing propaganda outfits -- despite the fact that this is not the mission of the company, and not what shareholders buy stock for -- by claiming that this kind of leftwing political "goodwill" is a genuine intangible asset that justifies ignoring the company's chartered mission to pursue. This has always been a lie. It has always been the case that they knew they were destroying shareholder value -- they just decided it was worth it to destroy shareholder value to push their personal fucked-up ideologies. Now they're seeing proof -- they always knew this, but the proof makes it hard to defend against shareholder lawsuits -- that there's a lot of corporate badwill incurred in pushing an unpopular extremist ideology, too. I don't think the shareholders alone should pay for the sins of the corporate officers. I sure wish there were some way to personally sue them for violating the corporate charter to become the Official Shoe of Antifa and BLM. I guess the only penalty the ideologues will pay is losing out on future jobs -- but leftwing civilization-destroyers never pay that price, either. Communism, Inc. always has a safety-net job for them in a university or a leftwing taxpayer-grifting NGO.
Nike's stock problems go well beyond its aggressive political messaging. But the company has spent years building a brand that often seemed more interested in impressing left-wing activists than connecting with consumers in middle America.

It's because of tanking sales of their Chinese brands, focusing too heavily on historic brands instead of creating new lines of shoes, as well as pulling their shoes off of the shelves at foot locker and other stores.
Yup. They tried to go pure digital. Lost shelf space to competitors. Crazy that people like buying shoes in person
Also just quality decline, they make worse shit now and reputation is bad because of it. Lots of better shoes out there now.
It’s more that they got unreasonably expensive and other brands make shoes that are just as good.

"We Just Learned What Was Behind the FBI Warrant for Eric Swalwell – It's Not Looking Good for Him"
August 20, 2026
"The Swalwell search warrant was apparently issued under 18 U.S.C. § 242, a federal civil-rights statute that applies when someone uses their governmental authority to deprive another person of rights provided to them either through the Constitution or by federal law.
. . .
"The Standard also referred to the case of former Waterbury, Connecticut, Mayor Philip Giordano, who was convicted under the §242 statute back in 2003 for using the power of his office – and his connections to police – to intimidate two girls he had sexually abused into not ratting him out.
. . .
"Tony Brass ... said the statute could potentially come into play if investigators believe Swalwell used his position in Congress to intimidate witnesses or somehow interfere with another person's rights."

Nike publicly acknowledged LGBTQ issues in 1994 with a "Just Do It" ad featuring an HIV-positive athlete, but it was in 2005 that they took a strong public stand by supporting Oregon Senate Bill 1000, which aimed to protect GLBT citizens from discrimination.

I wore Nike shoes for about 20 years before I switched to other brands. They became cheaply made shoes and hurt my feet. I was wearing a pair when I was offered a job in Nike's IT department just before they opened their huge corporate campus in Beaverton. It was in a small suburban office where there was a keg on tap and men wearing shorts and Hawaiian shirts and the women in bikinis. Turned them down as I had a better offer somewhere else.

As teens, we kept derelict sneakers to use to swim (illegally) in the reservoir. The bottom was sharp rip-rap boulders. Once when coming ashore from swimming, I felt something on the toe of the sneaker. Lifted my leg when shallow enough, there was a 5 lb. Snapping Turtle clamped to the toe. Would have sucked barefoot.

Socialism and Islam are slavery, and their rhetoric is just the scam patter of similar confidence schemes. As grifters, they are nihilistic liars, who don't even care if their own words are true or false; that's missing the point, which is whether they're effective at manipulating you into putting on the slave collar.
Their only two pseudo-principles are Power & Clique -- and they would toss the latter in a heartbeat, if they got actual comic-book supervillain tech to be a one-man tyranny. In the meantime, they will do anything for their side while projecting their behavior onto you, and maybe even psychotically believing it.

Trump v California et al
PER CURIAM.
The President recently issued an Executive Order regarding election integrity. A group of States sued the Government in the District of Massachusetts, contending that the Order unconstitutionally infringes on their authority to administer elections. The District Court agreed and enjoined the Government from implementing the Order. In doing so, the District Court rejected the Government’s argument that it lacked jurisdiction over the States’ claims because the States lack standing to bring them. The Government has asked us to stay the injunction, arguing that it is likely to succeed on the merits of its jurisdictional argument, that the injunction is causing it irreparable harm, and that the equities do not favor leaving the injunction in place while the Government’s appeal is pending.

Once you remember that this man used to be the chief intellectual leader of the Conservative movement for 25 years, it all starts to make sense why the GOP functioned like controlled opposition from the 1990s until Trump came along.
Because that’s exactly what they were.

Yeah, but I dispute that I ever saw him promoted as a "chief intellectual leader".
They used to have him on quite a bit of political jabber shows. But, that probably has more to do with his self-promotion.

He wasn't 'the chief intellectual leader of the Conservative movement', ever. He was a TV pundit who got by on his father's background and provided commentary to issues until he was caught up in himself. Wife used to call him 'Little Billy Kristol'; she thought he was a cute little guy, but we never took him very seriouslyu.

Now, that is more in line with what I remember.
Hey, if the guy made a point about something or other, I'd credit him. That would just mean he could do his job as a pundit.
Heck, even Sean Hannity says some notable things where I dismissed him far too lightly.
But I would never call Hannity a "chief intellectual leader".

If you do French then Spanish is simple, especially written Spanish. I was learning Spanish by immersion, and I got tossed into a French class as well. Spanish is simpler because it doesn't have all the niceties of French.
It was mitigated by half the basic vocabulary being in English in one form or another.

Democrat Presidential Hopeful Gavin Newsom Signs "Stop Nick Shirley Act" Into Law to Strip Conservatives of Free Speech and Cover Up Democrat Fraud
No media is complaining about a Democrat criminalizing actual journalism.
They believe only Credentialed Guild Members, vetted for WrongThink and BadFacts, should have the right to commit journalism.
Nick shirley
@nickshirleyy California has officially signed the "Stop Nick Shirley Act" (AB 2624) into law. This bill was created only after I exposed widespread fraud in immigrant communities across America, specifically in California's Medicaid, nonprofits and other welfare programs funded by our tax dollars. These politicians need the fraud to continue and they sadly use immigrants to do so often. They fund nonprofits and NGOs with hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars every year for immigration services, including free healthcare and have now made "immigration support service providers" essentially a protected class in California. For example, if I film a hospice or a "learing center" with no patients receiving millions through Medicaid and the owner gives me a paper saying I cannot publish the video, I cannot publish it. If I publish it to expose them and they claim it caused them "fear" or a third party threatens them, I face a minimum $4,000 civil fine plus the legal fees of the individual or group suing me. This bill was created by the Attorney General's wife and co-sponsored by CHIRLA, a nonprofit that has received over $80,000,000 in taxpayer dollars for "immigrant support services." Do you understand how this works yet? When the fraud is exposed, they create new laws to protect the fraudsters and penalize those who expose it. By signing this bill, the Governor and California politicians expose themselves as the corrupt politicians they are. This is not the end, the fight has just begun. More to come soon, this is far from over.

Wall Street Apes
@WallStreetApes WOW 🚨 Foreign born man in California caught setting up fraudulent hospice companies and working with mortuaries to get the names of dead people to bill Medicare - He stole $27 MILLION
- California didn't care he misspelled his hospice company names, one was spelled "Holly Trinity"
- He bought a Rolls Royce
- His patients were dead people
- He billed $33,000 per patient per year "Prosecutors are also charging 2 accomplices -- the manager of a mortuary, who gave David Shachar names of people who recently passed in exchange for cash" This is the exact type of fraud Nick Shirley was investigating and exposing and Democrats just made it illegal to investigate in California Gavin Newsom signed the Stop Nick Shirley act shock will protect these foreign fraudsters stealing our tax money in the future

Never should have allowed the income tax amendment to pass. Consider the genius of it from the gov t perspective. People need income to live, so tax the income. People then can either earn income -which is taxed- so they can eat and poop indoors, or they can starve in the cold.
Bonus: Pump up inflation so people earn more devalued dollars, but don't adjust the tax brackets for inflation, and abra-cadabra built in tax increases without ever having to hold a vote!

It -shouldn't- even make it past the district court. Signing this bill proves, without question, that not only is Newsom an utterly corrupt pol, he's also a lousy politician.
A smart crook with eyes on a bigger payout would have allowed the bill to pass, but, after further review with the due diligence expected from a distinguished statesman, he then would decline to sign the "Stop Nick Shirley Act" out of reverence for the First Amendment and the US Constitution.

A foreign born woman judge has ruled the state department can’t decide what visas to issue or not issue. They must issue every visa to anyone from any shithole country in the world.
It’s in the “OranegManBad” clause of the constitution.

BUT I think one evidence based crime prevention theory is that criminals weigh the likely hood of getting caught AND the severity of punishment. So if defrauding the government of a million dollars or more was a death penalty offense, and the fraud task force stayed active; that might make a good dent in the amount of fraud.

This sort of fraud is a snake swallowing its own tail. It could never exist without a corrupt government starting it, letting it run and taking their cut somehow.
As huerfano up there says, a legitimate agency has lots of hoops hast to go through. They might be able to get a few boxes of tongue suppressors to fall off the truck here or there but that is peanuts.
These huge volumes of moneys to obvious frauds start and end with a massive government fraud making it go.

Different world/different military but in WWII most people in uniform had a term of service known as "for the duration".
The pathetic and grotesque woman with the idiotic comment about not joining the Navy to be at sea on a ship might ponder how long many sailors in the Pacific were deployed - many in actual combat where the enemy actually got deadlier as time went on thanks to "special attack" tactics.
Among the miracles of US logistics in that dust-up were small comforts brought to the men a zillion miles from civilization, like ice cream ships at Ulithi.
Those who recently served will know that in many locations, where proper DFACs operated, "rations" including in war zones were not bad at all. In fact, ace, back in the early 2000s, the idiotic media angle of the day was that these impressive dining facilities were an "obscene luxury". BTW, such nonsense was not prompted by "foreign" influence, but by gen-yu-ine homegrown mindless contrarianism and ignorance.

Plus 60 days or whatever. They had a "points" system to decide when people could get out.
The Draft was passed by one (1) vote in Congress 1940, and I think it was two years service obligation. They incrementally raised the age limit and service obligation as the war started ramping up and getting dicey. I'm not sure if service-members were grandfathered in to the shorter obligations or they just said FU too bad so sad or not. I'm sure they were encouraged to re-enlist.

I suppose the MAGA team may be making the national rules have sensible safeguards again, but I think states currently handle a lot of the administration of these programs.

In the ACW on both sides initial enlistments were pretty short. This caused quite the problem so 3 years became the new standard period outside of emergency callups in the North. I believe in the South they converted the 1 year enlistments they started with to 'for the war' early on. The end of the time for the North's first three year recruits came in 1864 and there were some good inducements to re-up for the war including a furlough.

A non-traditional Authoritarian, who tolerates the authority of the tradition succession, is ideological. Ideology + authoritarian is ~=~ fascism.
To be clear: Conservatism is not an ideology. It's not a theory about potential ways to run government. It's about conserving what has worked above ideas, about what may work.

Nancy Skinner, the obscure CA pol who got that law passed, emerged from the commie-swamp of Berkeley in the '70s. She's desperately power-hungry, and runs for office (some office -- she always finds a local race to enter) every two years. She often lost, but she never stopped trying. Whenever she won, in whatever small jurisdiction she controlled, she always imposed the most totalitarian commie-laws she could dream up. Been doing it for decades. This is just the first time she's received national attention.

Possibly a bit of an overreaction - US forces had not lost that many troops so far. The Brits had a crisis not in men per se, but the infantry parts were very reduced (since they were the ones who get shot) and specialist arty or tank forces don't.

But, even that is pretty big:
Because that puts the various SoS personally criminally liable if illegals vote.
But, the stupid bint judge will still lose.
1) because the rules are no more than what OR already requires if I understand correctly, and
2) the rule has been published* and it's less than 90 days to the election, so SCOTUS will have to let the rules stand.
* How I hope their response tomorrow as to why they published them over her order is a) we relied upon the other judge that said we could and b) SCOTUS said no nationwide injunctions.

That's my wonder: Is it a law's place to impute motive?
Motive is an aspect of the transgressor. Thus it is only a factor once we have a transgressor. And that is a consideration of applying the law to an individual, "substantive due process".
Are "immigrants" going to be added to "circumspect groups" regardless of legal status?!
If that happens, the courts have outright fucked us. The "Interpretation" has outstripped the ratified representative agreement.

The US never came anywhere near full mobilization during WWII. Yes infantry units were getting depleted and the army had to scavenge men from support units to keep the infantry units somewhat up to strength but we never had a manpower crisis like germany, britian, russia and japan did.
Heck American civilians even had access to meat, gasoline, butter, eggs, sugar, cigarettes, etc. things that no other country let their civilians have during the war in any quantities. Granted they were rationed but they were available to everyone.

Scott Bessent Announces He Is Tightening the Screws Not Just on Iran But On Its Trading Partners
Bessent unveils 'Operation Economic Outcast' sanctions targeting Iranian regime
The measures, which the Treasury Secretary first teased last week, are designed to punish "enablers" of Iran that purchase its oil and facilitate financial flows.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced on Monday a new raft of sanctions targeting the Iranian regime dubbed "Operation Economic Outcast," which he compared to the historic D-Day landings during World War II. "Iran now faces a very clear choice, with only two paths before them: complete global isolation and a subsistence economy, or a path back to normalcy with an opportunity to rejoin the global economy," Bessent told reporters at a 1:00 PM press conference. These new measures are designed to ramp up pressure on Iran's "enablers," which Bessent has called out for purchasing Iran's petroleum products, allowing their financial systems and banks to facilitate transfers of Iranian funds, and allowing Iran's shadow fleet to transfer oil products in their territorial waters. Bessent and President Donald Trump indicated last week that the United States planned to shift to a comprehensive economic blockade of the Islamic Republic, hoping to strangle the regime by cutting off its economic lifelines. "We are enforcing a zero leakage approach. There will be no minimal breathing space for the regime to rebuild its capacity to inflict terror against America and the world," the secretary said. "The final refuge of this regime is the mistaken conclusion of nations that still finance the Iranian threat in the hopes of evading it. It is no longer acceptable to operate in the gray spaces of this conflict. Countries cannot claim they are blind to enabling this activity." The sanctions, Bessent said, are designed to target five of Iran's lifelines during the conflict: "digital assets, technology, gold, aviation, and shipping." The Treasury Department will sanction "over 60 entities, individuals, and vessels" globally that officials believe enable Iran to purchase nuclear and missile technology, carry out cyber operations, and allow it to generate oil revenue. ... China has purchased the vast majority of Iranian oil for years, even while its exports are under international sanctions. Chinese banks and front companies help Iran with oil transactions to avoid the sanctions and operate ships in a shadow fleet to transport the sanctioned oil, according to the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission. China has also sold Iran the technology and inputs required to construct its fleet of attack drones and missiles.
Lee Smith wonders if Bessent and Trump really mean it -- are they actually going to punish Turkey and China for trading with Iran?
Lee SmithTrump is threatening an "Economic D-Day" and says Iran is collapsing.
@LeeSmithDC 2h It would be great if Trump admin targets Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey, Russia and especially China for Iran dealings. But since that's very unlikely, what's really happening here?
On social media, Trump posted "Iran is completely collapsing" hours after US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, in a column for the Financial Times, declared that an "economic D-Day" had begun against Tehran and warned that any country that continued to enable the Islamic Republic would become a "global pariah". Bessent also claimed on X that the US had "dismantled Iran's military capabilities, destroyed nearly 100 percent of its military factories, and buried its nuclear programme".Meanwhile, the US is escorting ships through the Strait of Hormuz and a fair amount of oil is flowing. Though Iranian attacks have definitely slowed the flow.
The U.S. military has quietly established a shipping corridor in and out of the Strait of Hormuz to transport millions of barrels of oil each day -- a notable success even as the broader war remains at a stalemate, two U.S. officials told Axios. Under the operation, which has been underway for the last several weeks, 15--20 tankers have entered and exited the strait each night through a southern channel along the coast of Oman.If you wondered why the media was pushing the new PsyOp -- we can't have sailors stationed on aircraft carriers for months at a time, sailors didn't sign up for the Navy to spend months aboard warships! -- this is why. It's working, so the Communist-Islamist propaganda machine goes to work to convince Americans to just give up and let Iran have its nuclear bombs. Here's CNN's efforts to aid and abet the Iranian terror regime. It's paylocked, so here's a digest:
About 10 million barrels of oil a day -- roughly half the pre-war volume -- are being transported out of the strait and injected into the global energy market, the officials said. Why it matters: The U.S.-led operation is mitigating one of the most painful aspects of the war: the disruption to oil supplies that sent crude prices soaring. While the amount of oil coming out of the strait is still below pre-war levels, it is making a discernible difference in global supplies, officials say.
A CNN report detailed severe supply shortages and daily hardships--including a lack of fresh food and milk--aboard the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln during its record-breaking deployment in the Middle East .Deployment Hardships Record Time at Sea: The ship spent over 250 consecutive days deployed without a port call, straining both the crew and supplies. Supply Disruptions: Combat actions and regional supply chain damage in the Middle East forced lengthy detours for resupply. Rations and Shortages: Crew members and their families reported limited food options, smaller portions, and a lack of basic items like fresh milk, soap, and toothpaste. Official Response Government Denials: President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth dismissed the reports of poor living conditions and food shortages as "fake news" or misrepresented. Congressional Concern: Lawmakers pressed the Pentagon for answers regarding the crew's well-being and mental health support.There are a few points here: Yes, spending 250 days at sea is a hardship. On the other hand, this is a war, and while I appreciate servicemen experience hardships during war, I can't say that not having fresh milk, just the powdered kind, is a hardship enough that we should take a $13 billion aircraft carrier out of the fight. Also, so I never served in the military, but one thing I've picked up from movies, reading, and hearing veterans talk, is that military people complain about their conditions a lot. They have a fair amount to complain about, and complaining is their outlet. Complaining is a sport in the military, just like jerking off guys for $15 a man is a sport for garrett. We've never changed war policy over complaints about not having fresh milk before. CNN wants to institute this as a new National Imperative, because they're on the other side and always have been. Same as they used to track casualties in Iraq and Afghanistan when Bush was president and then immediately stopped tracking them with Captain Cocksucker became president.
.@SecScottBessent: "This is a sustained campaign to collapse every last option for Iran. Let there be no ambiguity as to the position of the United States: an economic engagement of any kind with this murderous regime will expose those responsible to the full reach of American… https://t.co/SSfD50jMin pic.twitter.com/s6rqMhLnTv
— Rapid Response 47 (@RapidResponse47) August 24, 2026
I want to say again that I do appreciate that being away from home -- or simply away from solid earth -- for long stretches is a hardship, and, of course, lacking decent food or creature comforts for weeks or even months at a time is worth complaining about, and worth it for civilians to hear about. But this is an op. The same as the last twenty hostile, in-service-to-foreign-powers ops the media has run. There was literally a screengrab from CNN's piece where the subtitles show a heavyset older white woman saying something like, "My son didn't sign up for the Navy to be at sea for months at a time." No? He didn't? What do you think he was signing up for, Karen? CNN does not care about the comfort of the sailors, whom they consider to be racist, colonialist Toxically Masculine deplorable Trump voters. They care about the comfort of the Iranian mullahs, Barack Obama's besties. They really want to do a Casualty Death-Count for the war, but because there are so few, they're on to the alternative psyop, "People are sick of having powdered milk in their coffee and cereal."

I saw a story on Breitbart this morning saying Iran has a $10 million reward for anyone who kills Barron Trump. Just checked and don't see the story now.
Trump should have bombed the shit out of Iran months ago.

All it would take is a Rommel/Schawrtzkopf-style blitzkrieg with actual allied troops on the ground and thew IRGC would disintegrate and scatter, most likey within 48-72 hours.
They maintain this "'Tis but a scratch!" veneer because they're never actually challenged militarily in person -- just from the air.

I have no doubt it was horror but he never said and only talked about the stuff he considered funny. He saw a lot, dealt with a lot, and he'd volunteered after Pearl Harbor. He helped his dudes build stills on every island and went into great detail on how they were built, yet he did not admit to drinking what they fermented. We didn't believe him.
His mother would send him food as often as it could find him. Somehow she'd pickle eggs and seal in metal tins that would reach him and he'd share. She was very popular with his buddies, especially her cookies.
I'm sure he complained but not in brief letters that were checked for bs by the Marines. No one checks for bs anymore, do they? You can text mommy that Joey stole your chopsticks and mommy will call her Senator.

The IGRC is not the compete army, more like the SS/Gestapo of Iran. There are conventional armed forces there, in an uneasy relationship with the IGRC and the various Police and Thug groups of the government. Iran is not a solid immutable bloc, if still unsure of how to move at present.

Weren't there a bunch of countries-BRICS (I think Iran and China are two of those)-That wanted to set up their own economic system to replace ours? I wonder how many of them are getting smacked with this?
This is the sort of thing you have to do if you actually want economic sanctions to work (as opposed to showing that you 'did something'), so while I remain on the skeptical side, this is at least a good sign. And even if it doesn't get everyone to stop supplying Iran, it does give us an excuse to diminish economic ties with a bunch of our enemies, so it's a good step in its own right.

Saw a lot of action and several major battles. Fresh food ran out quickly, so it was canned stuff after that. A lot of spam. Drinking water was rationed; they had desalination capability, but sailors still had to take salt water showers. Temps got over 100 degrees below deck.

This war has been waged with a high level of competency and a respect for life and equipment that none of us have ever seen before. Trump does not get enough credit for this. When your greatest hardship is powdered milk and your opponent's currency is trading at something like 2 million rials to the dollar while they endure rolling blackouts and have no remaining air force or navy then it is hard to realistically imagine things going much better.

If they fade into the local population and wage guerrilla war, then they are no longer the de facto rulers of the nation, but instead will have become an underground rebel group.
Yeah, it may take time to eradicate them (see the KKK post-Civil War, Werewolves in post WWII Germany, etc.), but it can be done. By the iranians themselves.
They just need to one strong push to demote the IRGC from Ovrlords to Rebels.

He was popular in that he had a chemistry degree that he never used once he got back to the states. That helped with a lot of things for his friends and the building of stills. Said they'd ferment anything.
Had job offers for oil companies in Louisiana but didn't want to leave MS (which I know sounds insane). He started his own business repairing car radios and did well in his GM empire.
A lot of stuff went on and still does. His very best childhood friend whom we knew from birth, remained a private in the Army. He was at least 6'7" tall. He'd get promoted to Pvt First class then busted and in the brig again. The story I love the most was when he was in a Belgian brothel in a tub and his commander walked by. He stood up nekkid and saluted.
Another childhood friend from next door was an AF pilot. Daddy went AWOL somehow (not caught) to fly to Australia with him. Said he was not impressed with the women he saw there.
He was one crazy and wonderful father.

"These are not isolated events; they are part of a deliberate effort to gather intelligence, test our defenses, disrupt our operations, and intimidate our force.'”

Also, so I never served in the military, but one thing I've picked up from movies, reading, and hearing veterans talk, is that military people complain about their conditions a lot.
Complaining about everything is every service member's SOP and God Given Right. As long as it's just complaints, and doesn't flop over into crimes under UCMJ, smart NCOs don't get in the way of bitching. That's one of the most important things I learned at PLDC before becoming an E-5 Sergeant.
When troops STOP complaining however.... that's when you know you have a serious problem.

The other day, I read that Carrier "Hornet" holds the record of 500 days between port calls. They left in early 1944 and only returned in June 1945 when her bow was crushed in a typhoon. Saw a lot of action and several major battles. Fresh food ran out quickly, so it was canned stuff after that. A lot of spam. Drinking water was rationed; they had desalination capability, but sailors still had to take salt water showers. Temps got over 100 degrees below deck.
Posted by: Martin Tell at August 24, 2026 05:11 PM (sFNX2)
By that era the main US fleet was never all in port. They would swap out the admirals and generals between operations, one set planning for the next while the other did the current op. Resupply was by sea, many repairs were done in a custom anchorage. The fleet name and numbers changed based on who was running the current op.

For example. Michigan, New York and other New England states have made themselves particularly vulnerable to a "Nuclear Option" by Canada to screw with electricity sent to these communist Climate states. Canada could cut its hydro power (yet also receive immense monetary collateral damage on their utilities by jeopardizing multi-billion dollar energy deals with the US) and by doing so throw the New England states into blackouts and massive electricity bill hikes.
This kind of shit would really mess with the mid-terms as the Enemedia would drop Canada's option on Trump and make it all of his fault for Canada deciding to North Korea the New England states.

Not to take anything away for the guys and gals on the lincoln but we were deployed during the tanker wars for 6 months.
I vividly recall finally getting an unrep with fresh fruit and eggs a few months into the cruise. They dropped a pallet of bananas on the flight deck and by the time that pallet made it down to the mess decks it was nothing but empty cases. Everyone was walking around eating bananas and had them sticking out of their pockets.
It was soon after that when we pulled into mombasa for a short 3 day break and drank the country out of tuskers beer on new years eve 1987. And we headed right back to the gulf for another go at the iranians. We got back to Japan in April and we left the first week of november. We spent 6 months in that area with just a bob hope USO show and one short 3 day break.

Just picking up things here and in other media, if a ship is in port for upkeep, it might be there 6 months to a year, and travel time to the Middle East by sea is around a month (estimating 20 mph, which is around 500 miles a day, so 25-ish days to get 12,500 miles-half the Earth's diameter-plus there's continents in the way and currents to consider so you can't go entirely in a straight line/great circle). So a 9 month at sea deployment doesn't *sound* unreasonable.

On ships there is a system that takes sound waves, converts them into very low level electrical signals... so you have a com system available even if all the power on the ship is out... called Sound Powered Phones.
No electricity or batteries needed... thus the 'hunt'

Fry your salt pork in your mess tin skillet, use the rendered fat in the pan to soften it up and give it flavor.
They did try to keep things fresh and they gave a lot - a pound of meat a day was the ration, and a bunch of coffee as beans so it could not be adulterated. On marches they trailed along live cows to be slaughtered on the way to give additional fresh meat rations.

If the economic war continues, not a single drop of oil will be exported٫ neither through the Strait of Hormuz nor from anywhere in the Persian Gulf. Iran will regard any country’s participation in or support for America’s economic war against the Iranian people as an act of war.

Additionally, and indirectly, we are punishing China via our trade negotiations with Canada. Canada's economy is based on foreign countries (primarily China) sending unfinished wares to Canada, who act like a guy ordering from IKEA...who spends his weekend assembling pre-fab furniture. China did this quite purposefully to get around direct tariffs on Chinese goods. Because these assembled item from Canada would be labled as "Canadian." That's one of the primary reasons for the tariffs on Canada....who will puff their chest and play tough, until Trump activates the six month termination clause in the USMCA.

As to MREs stopping you up, I have a theory that it's intentional. Soldiers/Marines in close combat are wallowing around in shit and dead flesh all day long. Which means they WILL get dysentery, cholera or some other horrible affliction that makes them shit all over themselves. MREs stopping you up helps keep the really dangerous dehydration from those diseases somewhat in check.

they'd use rifle butts on a flat rock or something if they couldn't get that. Not sure if it was common as time went on to have a personal grinder.

Do all four walls close in? If so, what happens to the two ends of each wall? Are they folding like an accordion?
If it is only two walls, could you not see the tracks along which the two walls will progress and opt to find another room before they commence their precision closing?
Seems like one would have to be pretty much clueless to ever enter rooms whose walls close in.

or they all agreed that they didn't want to touch this at all since it also has to do with postal regs and the actual constitutional status of the USPO which was totally screwed up by Congress; by punting they get to claim it moot until after the election, and the states supposedly have the voter rolls so it is not an undue burden to anyone.

When I was a kid, we had something called "recombined milk." That meant the local dairy shipped up milk that had half the water taken out of it, and then mixed it with water to sell in half gallons. Was much cheaper than the local milk that was, you know, real milk.
Tasted weird, but it was what I knew was "milk."
Then when I left for college, they had whole milk, as much as you could drink. So I did. Good heavens. Who knew it was so damned good?

The newest scandal coming out of Iran is that all parts of the government and IRGC were involved in fuel smuggling, buying up state subsidized gasoline, diesel and other products, and selling it overseas for ready money, undercutting the market and pocketing the difference. This apparently means a lot of state-backed infrastructure for smuggling, since it is hard to move millions of gallons in the back of a Hilux.
Meanwhile the Iranian on the Street was being told there were shortages because of the embargoes and to soldier on in the great struggle.

Just Army. And every-time any base ... like Ft. Reilly Kansas or Ft. Stuart GA sent the boys in the field for even a Thirty Day Exercise ?
The coming back on post was a shit show. Because 'Mama typically found a new man about 1/3 to 1/2 of the time.

The pathetic and grotesque woman with the idiotic comment about not joining the Navy to be at sea on a ship might ponder how long many sailors in the Pacific were deployed - many in actual combat where the enemy actually got deadlier as time went on thanks to "special attack" tactics.
Among the miracles of US logistics in that dust-up were small comforts brought to the men a zillion miles from civilization, like ice cream ships at Ulithi. Those who recently served will know that in many locations, where proper DFACs operated, "rations" including in war zones were not bad at all. In fact, ace, back in the early 2000s, the idiotic media angle of the day was that these impressive dining facilities were an "obscene luxury". BTW, such nonsense was not prompted by "foreign" influence, but by gen-yu-ine homegrown mindless contrarianism and ignorance.

Enes Kantor Ejected from WNBA Game for Wearing a Shirt Defining Woman as an Adult Human Female; Angel Reece Freaks Out Over Another Green Dildo Attack
Regarding the green dildoes:
The women melting down and claiming to be "assaulted" over seeing a fake penis in a public place are the exact same women telling little girls they shouldn't be bothered to see a real penis in the confined space of a changing room or spa. Are they offended by the green dildoes? Given that 80-90% of the WNBA is lesbian, they could only be "offended" in a Crocodile Dundeean sense: "That's not a dildo. This is a dildo.""SHE'S NOT GONNA SLEEP WITH YOU!"

I read the tickets are $8 but that could be wrong.
We once paid $5.50 for general entry to a Jethro Tull concert and almost the same amt for all concerts.
I honestly don't know who would go watch unless you are family or friends. I saw the tee shirt and it was the truth, which I guess lesbos or trans can't handle.

I traveled to Germany with a group I went to college with to visit a friend (college roommate) who was an officer in the 11th Calvary Armored Div. and went down to Oktoberfest. The women in our group were all in the same sorority and maybe on the prudish side (but all good eggs). We stayed in Red Light district of Munich right above a sex shop during Oktoberfest. We made a purchase there of a large black dildo. This was just after the Lockerby Scotland plane bombing, so security in the airports was tight (including looking through bags)...so every flight we took (Italy, Switzerland, Heathrow)...we'd sneak the large black dildo into one of the girl's bags, and then just watch the fun when they went through the contents of the bags.

There's a very old video I've seen from inside a school gym. Someone stuck a suction cup dildo high up on a wall. An adult has a broom and is trying to knock it down with the handle. Every time the adult hits the dildo, it wobbles on the wall. I was dying laughing watching that poor adult trying to remove the dildo and only making it wiggle comically.

You're going to have to wait a bit longer. The WNBA just ruled that Kanter and White are not eligible to play in the WNBA.
Because they are hypocritical clowns.
Posted by: JackStraw

I'd imagine lawsuit time. Neither Kanter nor White would even have to pay for it. Legal defense fund for the lolz.
And WNBA would eventually lose because their specific policy is so vague and it will be discovered inevitably that one or two players already are in fact troons or hermaphrodites.

No pro league has a restriction on who can play--any woman good enough can play in the NBA, NFL, NHL or MLB.

I see this sport going nowhere even faster than when I paid no attention to it. Only protests, hair pulling, or dildos raise viewing...and that's pretty bad. When most people must be attending or watching to see what will happen next vs the sport.
I never had a dildo thrown at me in HS. Mostly because I would not have known what it was in the first place. I also would be put in for my long shot and then back on the bench. No hair pulling for that ball as I'd give a tie ball to the girl if she was bigger than me and might mess up my hair. I didn't see the point as I got two black eyes at different times and a concussion and it was not worth it. The concussion was during practice.
I do like men's college basketball when the mood strikes. I hated Duke with the heat of 1000 suns when Coach K was with them. As I've mentioned before, he was almost accidently murdered by me after a game where FSU lost by 1pt due to the refs. I almost fell off the balcony yelling at him. He would have been squashed him below me as he pranced off the court in victory. Son and I were in a lot of trouble with my husband and DIL after that game.

In that era we got a tour group for our Latin Club to see the Pompeii exhibit there. We became total hucksters for the year to raise money. Our guile took us to the Sears tower from Michigan straight out the most direct road as the sun was going down and we saw the view for a while. For some ungodly reason the guide took us back a different way - South then East to Michigan on the lakefront area. On the way this group of Ohio teen girls and guys got to walk past some dudes stripping a car on the way to the hotel.

Ereas Kantor Freedom is "maintaining kayfab" -- inother words, he's acting the part o the villain in a scripted WNBA PR stunt.
In Professional Wrestling, each wrestler has a stage persona ("The Hillbilly Stranger," or whatever), and of course a real-lie persona (Melvin Periwinkle), who likes crocheting and watching Days of Our Lives. But the Pro Wrestling federations want to wrestlers to hide their real selves rm the public at all times, and pretend actually be their stage selves. Tis is known a"maintaining kayfab" (or "keeping kayfab").
Usually this entails ringside antics -- even when not actually wrestling, the performers will hurl chairs from the stand into ring, etc.
The way Kantor stood up and challenged the Black Amazon-Lesbian is exactly the kind fo stuffthat goes on in the WWF. And so it dawned on me: The whle WNBA kerfuffle is kayfab. An act, a PR stunt.
There is no other explanation.

No. In trouble for being "bad sports." That was the lecture we had going home to son's apt. He broke a watch crystal whacking his hand in anger. I almost caused a frat boy from Duke to fight me (so my husband said and I rolled my eyes).
Yes I did tell the frat boy in front of me, after accidently spilling my beer on him earlier, "Congratulations and I hope this ref goes to the championship with your team." Big deal. That's how I was raised from age 5yrs and going to SEC games. You yell a lot at the refs and other team. It is ingrained. Long Island husband says I change during basketball. Like I become a werewolf.
My dude asked just who would have to fight the boy if a fight broke out and I said me. He disagreed, being chivalrous. I lost my voice from yelling so the argument ended quickly.

Arbitration Board Says That Racist Grifter Karen Attiah Was Wrongly Fired for Making Up Fake Racist Quotes "by" Charlie Kirk and Celebrating His Murder; Hasan Piker Mocks Kirk's Murder in Hate Rally
Karen Attiah is a degenerate, unqualified DEI hire formerly, and now presently, employed by the Washington Post to write the same three columns about racism, colonialism, "Islamaphobia" and sexism over and over again while hammering checks.
After she made up fake quotes by Charlie Kirk and used them as a predicate for celebrating his murder, the incoming less-leftwing management of the Washington Post fired her. She sued, which invoked an arbitration over the firing. (Which was specified in her contract, it seems.) The arbitrator decided that it's no big deal for a "journalist" to make up quotes and justify political assassination of conservatives and ordered her to be rehired and be paid for the year she had off.Really? Is conservatives' free speech worth fighting for? If Scott Jennings glorifies violence against leftists, will you fight for his right to agitate for assassination while collecting a corporate check, too?
An arbitrator has ordered the Washington Post to rehire Karen Attiah, the opinion columnist who was fired last September after she blasted Charlie Kirk as "a white man that espoused violence" the day of his brutal assassination. In a written decision Thursday, arbitrator Sarah Miller Espinosa said WaPo "did not have good and sufficient cause" to fire the scribe and "violated" its labor agreement with the controversial columnist. Espinosa ordered the legacy newspaper to compensate Attiah with back pay and lost benefits. "This decision confirms what we've said from the start: I was doing my job as an opinion journalist, and doing that job is not misconduct," Attiah told The Post in a statement, adding that she is "relieved to finally have that record set straight." She added that she hopes her win "sends a message to journalists and media institutions everywhere that freedom of expression is always worth fighting for."
... The decision -- which is binding, according to WaPo's labor agreement -- caps off a yearlong battle after Attiah argued a slew of controversial social media posts she fired off the day of Kirk's shocking killing did not violate company policy. On Sept. 10, 2025, Attiah wrote in a Bluesky post: "Part of what keeps America so violent is the insistence that people perform care, empty goodness and absolution for white men that espouse hatred and violence." In another post that day, she wrote: "Refusing to tear my clothes and smear ashes on my face in performative mourning for a white man that espoused violence is ... not the same as violence." ... Wayne Connell, WaPo's chief HR officer, wrote that Attiah's Bluesky posts had violated the company's social media policies, harmed "the integrity of our organization" and potentially endangered "the physical safety of our staff." ... Attiah's case against the WaPo went to arbitration in June and included testimony from her, O'Neal and Connell. Attiah was represented by lawyers from Democracy Defenders Action, a nonprofit co-founded by lawyer Norman Eisen, and the Washington-Baltimore News Guild.Norman Eisen is the guy behind the Infinite Lawfare against Trump.
Am I allowed to justify violence against Normal Eisen or is that an offense worthy of cancellation? I assume it's the latter, right? Meanwhile, Gay Islamist Race Hustler and assassination-agitator Hasan Piker is on some kind of gay tour and led his crowd in cheering the murder of Charlie Kirk.
Eisen, one of Attiah's lawyers, called the decision "a thunderous victory for Karen Attiah, an award-winning journalist fired for doing her job, over Bezos' Washington Post."
We have seen protesters on the left around the country mocking the assassination of Charlie Kirk, even reenacting his murder. Hate traffickers like Jennifer Welch have even justified his assassination. It is all shocking and depressing, but none reached the level of Hasan Piker leading a huge crowd in mocking Kirk and his faith. Before he was murdered, Kirk debated Piker and called him a "socialist hypocrite." What is shocking is not the utter depravity and cruelty of Piker, but the ecstasy of the crowd in relishing the death of someone with opposing views. It is part of the conditioning in an "age of rage." In the video, Piker leads the crowd in the meme song "We Are Charlie Kirk" at a stop of his "Fear& LIVE" tour, including such lines as "We are Charlie Kirk, we carry the flame. We'll fight for the Gospel, we'll honor his name." His co-hosts and the crowd seem to be laughing with joy. Joining him at this hatefest at the Golden Gate Theatre in San Francisco on August 21 were reportedly Will Neff, QTCinderella, and AustinShow. Hasan is wearing his now-signature Mao jacket as the young crowd and his co-hosts laugh hysterically. It is the very essence of this movement to desensitize people, particularly young people, to violence and hate. In Rage and the Republic, I wrote about this national ragefest. It allows people to hate completely and without thought to the humanity of those being hurt. What people will not admit is that they like it. Rage is addictive, and it is contagious. Just look at the crowd in San Francisco, and you will see the addictive quality of uncut, undiluted hate:
Piker, Will Neff, QTCinderella, AustinShow, and these fans have every right to spread hate. It is protected speech just as KKK and neo-Nazi groups are allowed to promulgate their own hateful values. What is exasperating is how hatemongers on the left want to enjoy hate speech while accusing others of hate and intolerance. They do so by excusing their actions or views by demonizing those who disagree. Democratic leaders continue the false claim that democracy is dying in America and that this may be our last free election. While made over multiple elections, this repeated claim of the imminent death of democracy (unless they are elected) does not appear to register with their supporters.

hasan is not an intellectual. he’s an embarrassment to submidwittery. listen to him speak. he’s actually, legitimately stupid. but being a leading light is not his role.
piker is a permission giver. he says wild, accusatory, hateful things and brands out-groups as evil.
people follow him not because he's smart, they follow him because he gives them justification to hate while casting it (at least in their own minds) as justice and tolerance. it allows them to view some people as less than human. this belief unlocks permission to act beastly toward others and call it virtue.
his entire product is "feel good about being a bad person, feel good about being a coercive crybully taker instead of a builder or a maker."
he sells license. and a lot of badly adjusted cluster B jerks are lined up out the door to buy.
it's pathology club: external validation for those with externalized identities.
but once you’re in, you’re caught. many will know the expression that “those who can be made to believe absurdities can be made to commit atrocities.”

Well, I've now learned something about binding arbitration, and I think if I were an employer, I'd stick with the at-will contract. It seems like they're different? It's incredible that the WaPo can't fire her for cause."
---------------------------------------
First it depends on the State. Decent States (red) are employee-at-will states; one can be fired at any time and for any (or no) reason. When they want to fire someone, I advise my clients just to say, "your services are no longer required; good luck." Giving a reason just invites argument, at best. If one is not careful, the reason given can end up being a basis for lawsuit: saying "we just want some new blood around here," can lead to age or racial discrimination claims. Clients frequently don't follow my advice; they are basically good people who don't want to appear cruel (hereinafter called, "defendants").

The existance of an employment contract negates any right to tgerminate at will. It then becomes a matter of contract interpretation. Decider will have to look at ennumerated reasons for termination. Courts are admittedly bad, but if one is railroaded in court, there are always appeals. Binding arbitration sucks. Not only is there no right of appeal, there are numerous examples of runaway arbitrators who completely disregard the contract for "feelz," and may even grant large damages not allowed under the contract. No remedy, and courts are very reluctant to overturn binding arbitration. BTW, almost all consumer contracts mandate binding arbitration.

So the one thing I got from the documentary is that that story, at least as Chase tells it/revises it, isn't that bad.
Chase was angry that the writers were writing him as a bitter loser old man. (The writers were probably channeling their real feelings about Chase into the character of Pierce.) He objected to a season 4 episode in which he was supposed to do a blackface hand-puppet. He complained that the writers were making the character more and more braindead-racist, and remarked, "Next thing you do you'll have me calling Donald and Yvette (the black cast members) n******s."
And Yvette, whatever her name is, freaked out and left the set and refused to work with Chase after that. Chase was fired soon after.
If Chase's retelling is true, it's not all that bad. I mean, he didn't actually call them that. He was complaining about being made to say more and more racist things.
And also that Yvette woman is an SJW which I know from her various comments in her real life interviews.

Dreyfuss is a pussy. Which is why a bully like Robert Shaw took so much pleasure in mercilessly baiting him.
About 15-20 years ago Dreyfuss had some big movement that he wanted to build to fight for civility in political commentary. Formed an organization, did a bunch of interviews on network news and CSPAN etc. Then about 2-3 weeks after making the big announcement, he did an interview where he shit all over anyone to the right of Che Guevara. A bunch of folks called him out on it (including some people on the left, back when the left understood that they had to hide their love for totalitarianism). I remember watching him do a grovelling apology interview almost immediately. Even a homo cocksucker like Mark Ruffalo has the stones to say "fuck you, no apology".

======
The old bayonet fighting was part of using the entire rifle as a weapon--butt strokes, retention, bayonets were all necessary with bolt actions with small capacity magazines and before that single shots. Fast forward to semi and full auto with 20-30 round mags. From a training standpoint, just shooting them off the rifle was more convenient to teach. Modern ARs are also reconfigured that butt strokes with an adjustable plastic stock is a no go.
Plus bayonets attached change the point of impact from teh point of aim unless you do like the Soviets and zero their iron sights with bayonets attached.

Easy for me to say from the comfort of my home, of course. And the bayonet was worse than useless on the M-16 (when I served), since it would most likely break the rifle. Ask me how I know.

By the Civil War rifled muskets and the self expanding bullet made cavalry charges unworkable most of the time. For infantry melee a short sword or machete would have been a better tool with more uses generally than the standard bayonet.

Yes, of course.
But this does not explain how a newspaper ended up with a contract for a two bit drunken slag whore to write whatever the fuck she pleases, and they have to pay her.
Like I said, it is like hiring a house painter and he just picks whatever color he wants, and you can't fire him.
Who would agree to such a contract? If I were bezos, there would be a line of firing up and down the organization for anyone who approved such a contract.. It's not like this is his cash cow -- this is his hobby.

Ah, now we get into whether employers can make employees only work for them. Big problem with trying that is involuntary servitude violates the Thirteenth Amendment, and that also covers contractually agreeing to be a slave. Employers sometimes are able to get around that by so-called services contracts (buyer has rights to everything seller produces; this sometimes works for movie actors and musicians) or more-commonly non-compete contracts. If employee leaves, he can't go to work for competitor or set up a competing business. Courts have generally upheld non-compete contracts, but they must be limited in time and geography.

About 15-20 years ago Dreyfuss had some big movement that he wanted to build to fight for civility in political commentary. Formed an organization, did a bunch of interviews on network news and CSPAN etc. Then about 2-3 weeks after making the big announcement, he did an interview where he shit all over anyone to the right of Che Guevara. A bunch of folks called him out on it (including some people on the left, back when the left understood that they had to hide their love for totalitarianism). I remember watching him do a grovelling apology interview almost immediately. Even a homo cocksucker like Mark Ruffalo has the stones to say "fuck you, no apology".

did you see the other thing I wrote about him demanding to be "shot out" in every episode?
As one of the people from Community said: It wasn't just this one incident. It was four years of incidents all stacking on top of each other.
So I guess you're right, in a way, it was just a pretext. But he had burned all of his bridges by then. (Which is apparently what he's done his whole life.)

Because the union has been on site for many decades. In fact, in many places, after being hired, you MUST join the union within 30 days or be canned. Ask me how I know. Broadcasting is one field where there are numerous unions calling the shots. Motion pictures have been under the jurisdiction of IATSE for many, many decades. Either a union crew or the picture doesn't get made. In other words, IF you want to ply your trade, you are forced to join the union that exists at your place of employment. In some cases, there may be multiple unions.

There's a YouTube channel that puts Holiday Road over very dramatic/dark scenes from movies, like the one where Jennifer Connelly showed her boobs.
btw I love Holiday Road. I like a lot of Lindsay Buckingham.

Horses were usually too smart to let it get that far, they would stop short and send the dude on top flying. An exception in a Napoleonic battle was one where the horse was shot dead as it was coming up and horse and rider slammed into the square of infantry and broke up the one side. With the line broken the follow up cavalrymen pulled sabers and cut the unit to pieces.

Morocco: Now That We've Sent Criminals to Invade Your Country, We Are Prepared to Negotiate Your Surrender of the Conquered Territory
NEXTA
@nexta_tv Morocco has made territorial claims against Spain Moroccan Justice Minister Abdellatif Ouahbi said Rabat maintains "historical and geographical rights" to the cities of Ceuta and Melilla and wants to create a special mechanism with Madrid for negotiations. He described their incorporation into the kingdom as Morocco's ultimate goal. Spain categorically rejected these demands, stating that Ceuta and Melilla are part of its territory. Morocco has claimed both cities since gaining independence in 1956. Melilla has belonged to Spain for more than 500 years, while Ceuta has been Spanish for more than 400 years. The issue has flared up again because of the migration crisis in Ceuta, where tens of thousands of illegal migrants crossed from Moroccan territory at the end of July.
Gavin McInnesVia Instapundit, where Stephen Green wonders if a demand for Andalusia -- the former Caliphate in Spain -- is next. Thanks to Robert. Related flashback: In February, Joe Biden claimed that he had ended the mass illegal immigration he... inherited from Trump.

Nurse at a hospital says, anytime more than two of the same last name--and you know who--shows up, they automatically call the cops.
And they can't send any female nurses in to care for them.
Because, within minutes, 30-40 family members will show up.
Not just to crowd, menace and threaten, but the women will howl and wail--causing massive chaos and increasing stress.
And think about that--none of them are employed if that many can show up at the drop of a hat at any time.

The areas have been separate for so long that most citizens in the Ceuta area don't even identify as Spanish, or whatever they're called these days.
There might have also been some (lightly) armed conflict in the past between Spain and their wayward protectant. This might explain why the Monarchy in Spain isn't really motivated to do much... I mean besides being Islam loving retards.

The focus on “military aged men” also ignores the fact that most hard labor and physical jobs are performed by “military aged men”. And many are coming across to work at such jobs under the table to send the money home.
But it’s neither here nor there. You cross a border illegally, you get bounced. Period. The end. No matter your age, sex, whatever.

It is a lesser order, a refinement, meant for those not ready for the Gospel.
The proper view of Christians is to either convert them or keep them confined to their deserts until they accept and convert.
But to allow them among you is to sin against God by allowing idolators and idolatry*.
*Yes, there is a reason islam has such strict rules against idolotry--it's a confession of their own construction.

Many from how polluted it is.
Most because the Indians caught and ate them.
You know, the turtles they knew were living on dead humans and dead sacred cows*.
*you know why cows are sacred? Because, when the Mongols conquered, they didn't want them eating their limited stock of cows.
So they changed their religion to make the sacred.

The real purpose is to help keep the poorest farmers in business in hard times. The religious proscription means cows can scrounge everywhere for free fodder, and if times get better can produce a calf that allows the farmer to start plowing his fields again.

... newly released footage that reveals the catastrophic failure of the ship’s propeller shaft. ... a mechanical shear caused the shaft to shift five feet aft, pushing out the stern seals and leading to the massive flooding that forced the crew to abandon ship.

Real Headline: "WNBA team reveals new 'non-binary' turtle mascot to taunt Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham"
Sometimes I make up fake quotes and stick them in the quote box as a joke. This is not one of those times. This is real.
The Toronto Tempo debuted a new "non-binary" mascot ahead of their WNBA matchup with the Indiana Fever in an apparent swipe at controversial star Sophie Cunningham. The Tempo revealed Dez, a butch, non-binary Borealis Blue Snapping Turtle who uses she/they pronouns and "has a fondness for soft shell tacos," the team said in an Tuesday announcement unveiling the new mascot.
Dez also has a partner in crime, anthropomorphic arctic hare named Dot who uses standard she/her pronouns. Dez is a Taurus, the team made sure to include in its announcement. It joins the Seattle Storm's Doppler as the only two non-binary mascots in the WNBA. The Tempo made a point to announce the new, queer turtle totem during their home game against the Indiana Fever -- and their guard Cunningham who has been outspoken about defending girls and women's sports from transgender athletes. The Fever beat the Tempo, 101-95. Cunningham scored 13 points on 3-of-4 shooting, going 3-for-3 from behind the arc while snatching two rebounds and dishing out two more assists.

I replied, "Fine, but you have a gSon in the back seat who is speaking of "dez nuts". She was clueless as to what it meant, at which point gSon proceeded to explain it to her. Let's just say that her eyes were opened regarding the innocence of our gKids.

The rabbit has been getting some funny comments:
When you're creating a mascot for a women's team, you really should look at it and ask yourself "do the rabbit's ears look a little too much like used tampons?"
I’m seeing a disembodied uterus for a head.
They have official zodiac signs? I guess because astrology is a "woman thing".
I sort of love it? 😂 It’s sort of hilarious and they sort of read as lesbians for reasons I can’t pinpoint. I want male versions for heated rivalry hockey games.
I've tried really hard to get behind the WNBA.. I feel like I'm the only one trying in this relationship at this point.

Well, since I will never be attending a WNBA game, I guess I will just watch bemusedly from here.
Honestly, how many people are attending these games, anyway? They are certainly spending a LOT of money on whoever is doing their press kits and promotions, because -like the Kardashians - you can't get away from their stories.
But if it weren't for their publicity department, no one would even know this was going on. Because most people could not care less about a bunch of masculine women cosplaying at being NBA players.
I will say their mascots are quite ugly and would seem to be quite off-putting for "normal" people. And if you have to build up such an elaborate, gay-themed back story for a mascot, it seems like you are only interested in appealing to a very narrow audience. I mean, honestly, lesbians and Trans people make up probably less than 0.5% of the general population when all is said and done. But you would think that 50% of women are way based on the coverage they keep getting -

If the two of them make the league, attendance would skyrocket and they would average triple doubles every quarter.
However, those men would do their damnedest to get the other ladies involved until the point that a win was needed, then they'd dominate the last 5 minutes to come back and win by 20.

Anyway...
@nexta_tv
Morocco has made territorial claims against Spain
Moroccan Justice Minister Abdellatif Ouahbi said Rabat maintains “historical and geographical rights” to the cities of Ceuta and Melilla and wants to create a special mechanism with Madrid for negotiations.
He described their incorporation into the kingdom as Morocco’s ultimate goal.
Spain categorically rejected these demands, stating that Ceuta and Melilla are part of its territory.
Morocco has claimed both cities since gaining independence in 1956. Melilla has belonged to Spain for more than 500 years, while Ceuta has been Spanish for more than 400 years.
The issue has flared up again because of the migration crisis in Ceuta, where tens of thousands of illegal migrants crossed from Moroccan territory at the end of July.

I'm afraid to fact-check this because I want it to be true, but I read somewhere that lesbians have a higher rate of STIs than straight women, and it can be traced to the self-segregation of the Rainbow Mafia subculture. Homosexual men are walking Petri dishes, and because the Queer Clique is so aggressively unpleasant to normies, bisexual men don't really have much sex with straight women. They have sex with bisexual women, who have sex with lesbians, who do not clean their toys as well as they should.

Crws have their own complicated civilization, far beyond the ken of humans.

And then...three weeks later they all come back. WHere did they go? Why? Did thyey all take a vacation in the Bahamas? Instead, they probably went on a war-campaign to attack rival murders in the regon. Or...not. Crows are mystrerious.

"She is dancing n the court. Give a round of applause to...they."????

1) said the mother and daughter were here on a visa--omitting that they both had over-stayed their visa by years
2) said they were arrested at the hospital by ICE--but the arm badges on the officer uniforms were "sheriff"
3) implied they were denied medical care, both from the photo and by calling it un-Christian--failing to disclose that they could not be, and were not arrested until discharged from the hospital.
And that the hospital had cleared them--the screaming was because they refused to leave.
To avoid legal arrest.

"Then some of the scribes and Pharisees said to Him, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from You.” But He answered them, “An evil and adulterous generation demands a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah."
Like a lot of the Bible, it has double and even triple meanings, the three days, the self sacrifice of Jonah, etc. refer to the coming events of the Passion.
But the other part of the story is what Jonah was commanded to do and did. He was to tell the powerful and haughty sinners in Ninevah to repent or face the Lord's wrath. He did, they did, and Ninevah was spared for a bit longer.
And the repentance of society swept from the low first to the high as they heeded Jonah's message from the Lord.

They just have their own mysterious hierarchy involving mustaches and leather, and unless you're secretly one yourself, it wouldn't be worth the time and attention to figure it out.

MORNING RANT: The Data Center Wars - A Massive Proposed Data Center in Texas Drops Request for Tax Abatements
Pacifico Energy told KVUE it made the decision after hearing concerns from residents. “We withdrew our Chapter 312 and JETI applications because we heard the community clearly,” the company said in a statement. “The Cedar Creek Campus is not seeking any tax incentives and will pay its property taxes in full, like any other taxpayer in Bastrop County.” The change was welcomed by some residents who have opposed the project. Josh Mincher, a Red Rock resident, said taxes were one of the community's primary concerns.This is great news – just build it without taxpayer subsidization. In addition, Pacifico will build its own natural-gas fired electricity generating plant on the site. Another issue facing data center developers is the enmity that the tech industry has earned. During the great awokening, the tech bros were happy to be a censor of forbidden opinions while jamming the woke agenda down our throats. Tech has subsequently embraced an unpatriotic purging of American labor to be replaced by cheap foreign labor, either by offshoring, or by importing foreign H-1B labor. On top of that, many industry leaders engaged in naïve and destructive crowing about how AI will eliminate millions of jobs. They dug themselves a deep hole. But what is great is that the tech industry has now come to realize that despite their “clean energy” posturing during peak-woke, there is no way to power their future without abundant, reliable energy that can only be provided by fossil fuels or nuclear energy. I welcome their rejection of green energy, the core tenet of the Church of Climate. I’m excited for the tech industry to be my ally in the war on the globalist climate cult, and this is a start. In addition, if “my team” is going to support tech building data centers, while also getting reliable electricity from fossil fuels, my team will also have leverage to make tech start being better corporate citizens who prioritize America and fellow Americans. Returning to the Pacifico Energy data center in Texas, I applaud the local residents for being opposed to subsidizing it, and I applaud Pacifico for proceeding without subsidization, while also building a new power plant powered by fossil fuels.
Thanks. I’m solidly pro-industrial development, including data centers, but w/o taxpayer subsidization. I’ve watched GOP governors hurl billions at EV-related startups, and when I object I’m called “anti-business” by those seeking redistribution of wealth from taxpayers to corps.

Positives:

Staying ahead of the godless commies and Eurotards
Negatives:
Huge demands on power and land (especially GOOD FARMLAND)
Tying up too much of our wealth on something that seems highly speculative
The biggest problem with this issue, RIGHT NOW, is that things are happening TOO FAST with TOO LITTLE good information being shared on the reasons for them being built and the impacts on energy and water.
We have one side screaming "THE MUST BE BUILT NOW" and the other side screaming "THEY MUST NOT BE BUILT". My reaction to that is Stop, Look and Listen. And we need a real discussion of the facts, not the fear.

There's money to be made there as well, so they've got a pretty good incentive to see datacenters (and other development) be approved.
Skilled tradesmen in electrical, plumbing and technical skills in setting up the hardware for datacenters are getting six figure pay to do their work. There are reports of union reps at some of the county/city meetings where citizens can voice their opinions playing the part you'd expect them to play... intimidation.

But she cannot disagree without being disagreeable.
And too much of the "anti" side of data centers is founded upon falsehoods.
Which too many folks on the right handwave away as, "yes but see these other points are valid."
So?
The main arguments against it are false, then pointing out lesser, valid arguments against instead is not much better--when the main arguments are ... well, the main arguments.
It's like arguing against Trump's widely popular "build the wall" with "but building the wall may disrupt delicate desert habitat."
Yes, that's true.
But stopping illegal immigration via unrestricted border crossings is far more important than the (maybe valid) opposition due to environmental concerns.

The reason was because Shell Oil and Dow Chemical and all the other big polluters used to invest in the communities. Deer Park had some of the best schools in the nation. Place smelled like buffalo ass.
What happened was a "Robin Hood Law" which forced the better districts (which were often in chemical toilets) to play for worse districts (the ghetto, but hey, no oil well).

Water - though I am hearing more a a closed system model. Texas has a water access issue. Plus an electricity issue since Texas is a closed system.
Data centers will be better situated in the Ohio Valley area, and then on east.

Oh, if you are concerned about the Fourth Amendment, data centers are neither here nor there. I’m more worried about data generation. Like from the Flock surveillance cameras. They should be banned outright.
Posted by: Cow Demon at August 24, 2026 11:49 AM (jPziU)
That's why local pols find them so attractive. They pay lots of taxes, and incur fewer costs. Data centers don't have kids in school, and don't drive to work.
We already have TOO MANY in Va and it's crushing our electric system. We import the most electricity of any state in the US now...so something has to change...
Data Centers are an 80-20 issue here now...with the 80 on stop...
True, but only because few have given serious thought to what would happen if the data centers go away.
The answer is staring us in the face. Closed loop cooling, bespoke nukes, and that's the direction the industry is moving.

There's a difference between hooking up some more homes, and data centers, which do use a metric f***ton of power. They then drive the overall build out of the power system. It's much better to make them have their own power source.

But til this got 80-20 against, no one was looking for answers...and VA, no one is saying they are gonna build those nukes for all the already built ones...
So, voters want no more...and taxing them to leave is an option - it will take pressure off the grid. And in NoVa, that land could still become something else. Those data centers make the least sense b/c of the value of the land itself...and the population density of the area...it only made sense for Fed Gov to have close data centers for their surveillance use...

The problem then is that the 38% of the time you should have said yes, if you played the odds all the time, is that you would never hit the payoff ever, and everything stops.

Konstantin Yuon I can't get past the reality of this artist...he embraced the revolution and communism, and was part of the official art of the Soviet Union. Whether that was out of necessity or belief is irrelevant. Too many artists fought against it to allow this man any leeway.

The left is expecting the fraud levels of 4 years ago to be in place in November. Where there will be much fraud, it will be required for the right voters to out pace the left bigly as it did in 2024. Outvote the fraud and we'll win by wide margins.
Our dumbass side stays home, we're f*cked.
Posted by: Sponge - F*ck Cancer at August 24, 2026 10:09 AM (ccf/V)

Media including social is one big op and that includes Never Trumper doomicans. Best to ignore their tripe until after the election. They are there for Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt-FUD to drive down GOP money, energy, and volunteers and give space to Democrats to cheat and claim it was honest results. Works on people that simply cannot ignore the media (and that includes the supposedly conservative media too) and then cannot wait to spread the message of doom and gloom.
And when individual people say that this or that is affecting how people vote--that does not actually come from other people but from themselves as an opinion and they generalize that to include everyone else. Same reason "We" is used--we feel this, we feel that.
How the election will come out, I don't know--too many variables, this is an odd year not directly comparable to previous years, Trump and DoJ are not going to be the doormat for Dem fraud this year, Iran, lawfare, etc. So I don't worry about it--all I can control are my own actions and how I deal with the consequences after. So donate, volunteer, meme, whatever, and never be dismayed. And ignore the doom posters.

November will be the first load-bearing test of what happens with no USAID, SPLC and ActBlue under active investigation, and proctology gloves up the butts of Maricopa and Fulton counties. Everyone should still vote in order to further stress whatever cheat mechanisms are still in place though.

1) Polls are completely missing white working class and rural voters. Without knowing how those voters will vote (or if they won't vote) the polls are useless. 20 point misses in the primaries.

The party bases have flipped. The working class/college educated or less and rural areas are no longer Democrat bastions but require expensive turnout measures--the Democrat gimmedats urban experience is all cheat no voters in places like Detroit and the pampered college and greater class has been trending D and socialist for decades. Higher SES are more likely to vote and Dems have a far greater share of that now in 2026 than in 1976.
The older GOP strategist types have not changed their tactics to fit the new environment--they want to run negative ads, mailers, robocalls, and other bullshit that makes them money--those were designed for the 80's to drive down turnout by FUD. The new base of the GOP wants real positive action to help them like SAVE, no boys in girl lockerrooms, tariffs/fair trade, etc. GOPe officeholders hate that idea.

----------
GOP has traditionally done this since forever. The idea was that the GOP needed to focus its messaging when people will remember it and when a lot of their base had returned from vacay, trips, etc. In part, it was done because traditionally late July and August were primary months. Now, it is May or even earlier and runoffs later in some states.
The rise of early voting where ballots are being banked in September in many states is something that I don't think GOP strategists have quite figured out now. Trump won in 2024, in part, because he embraced early voting and got his votes in from the rural whites and working class as EV. GOP is going to have to embrace early in person voting.
Also prevented some last minute tricks like the voting machine shutdown fiasco that the Dems did in 2022 with Maricopa County on election day.

Embrace the possibility of both. Somalians are no longer under TPS, many are under investigation for fraud which means denaturalization for any that are migrants, and migrants no longer have the Mandate of Heaven.
Existing Gimmedats in the US resent sharing their cheese with new comers, the rest of the non political class in the US wants their cheap labor and welfare cheating ways gone, and certain ethnic groups have made themselves publicly obnoxious--Muzzies and Indians by behavior on H1Bs, OPT, outsourcing, and racial discrimination in hiring when in high corporate offices. And troons have made themselves obnoxious to a lot of gays.
The Democrat coalition of outs is having problems because their native gimmedat class resents the newcomers taking jobs, leadership in the party, benefits, etc. from them. Identity politics can be a stone cold bitch when a heterogeneous coalition have very different attitudes about each other. That is why the Democrats are ramping up the hate against the GOP to try to unify their coalition and white commie DSA types are at the head of this op.

I see the same problems with coalitions on the left in Euroland. Gays have realized that the Islamists are a deadly threat and so you started seeing non political gays fleeing leftists parties for the right.
Euro parties were set up primarily on the grounds of competing over economics--not the harder questions of identity and thus are foundering in this new era and the threat from Islam there is obvious--Islamists in the UK have already started leaving Labour and running now as openly Islamist candidates. I think this will spread across Euroland as the Islamists have a lot more in common with each other than with the rest of their countrymen or their no longer useful leftist ally parties.
The leftists in Euroland thought they could use the Islamists to win elections forever against the conservatives. All they did was destroy their own societies.

I dunno--some really believe in sparkles and unicorn farts. Others just want to see their own country burn. A few idiots think they can 'win' among the wreckage.
Western European society has been on a death wish fantasy since WWI. Bereft of a mission, bereft of a cause, bereft of religion--means that ennui of their Eloi left them subject to Morlocks from the Third World.

Us importing things from China that would be ripe for poisoning our citizens seems really f*cking stupid.
Everyone knows we're at war with them.......don't they?

Rumor has it he's on safari to deepest Africa to interview decendants of Jane and Cheeta (don't ask) as to just why Johnny Weismeuller had so little water resistance that he could win those Olympics medals in swimming.

I was going to joke that some Commissar encourages the workers to shit in the food being sent to us but on second thought they probably really are doing that. Shit in the alfalfa and wipe their ass with lettuce before jerking off into slabs of raw beef.

Or just to survive. In Stalin's USSR, the slightest suspicion of disloyalty would get you a bullet to the head, or a 25-year stretch in the gulag.
As for this painting, I don't find it offensive. It's nicely painted, in a style that reminds me a bit of Cezanne; the models are pleasant to look at, without the foam-flecked lips or steely eyes of fanatics. I'd much rather deal with these women than, say, with the ones flocking to Hasan Piker rallies.
