Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Wednesday Night ONT - May 27, 2026 [TRex]![]() Good evening Horde. The time has come for mid-week shenanigans. The bar is open. Welcome to the Wednesday night ONT which means another edition of random overnight fun and games. Pull up a chair and sit a spell. Good will offerings of amusing puns are happily accepted and are eligible for comment of the week consideration. Pants are optional. Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors. This is a Tucker, Candace, Megyn and Bill Kristol free zone. Please. Will you be smarter after reading this ONT? Will you be better looking? Will you be more fun at parties? Will you see better at night? Will you be wealthier? Will you win at Connect Four? If you skip the content, you'll never know![Top photo: All hail the Fotomat. Drop your rolls of film off and pick up your photos a few days later. Magic!] ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Police in Louisiana were called to help round up a mystery emu spotted wandering the city streets. The Duson Police Department said on social media that officers responded Wednesday to help the Lafayette Animal Shelter & Care Center wrangle a loose emu. "Anyone missing an Emu? ID# 118962 found around the 300 block of B Robin in Duson," the shelter wrote on Facebook. "We don't know the sex. It's not housebroken. Someone please call us 337-291-5644 or come by to reclaim -- because our team and the dogs are very confused." China's Tiangong Space Station is currently occupied by a group of artificial embryos, marking a major step in the quest to understand the ins and outs of reproduction in space. And while none of the embryo-like structures will ever develop into an actual person, the experiment should at least provide us with new insights into the impact of microgravity on early human development. Previous research has shown that human, pig, and mouse sperm become disoriented in microgravity and are therefore less likely to be able to navigate the reproductive tract. A separate study found that jellyfish who spend their youth - or polyp stage - in space tend to experience vertigo when brought back to Earth, struggling to swim in a coherent manner. On the other hand, mouse sperm that was sent to the ISS has been successfully used to rear healthy pups on Earth, suggesting that exposure to cosmic radiation may not cause harmful levels of DNA damage. Mouse embryos were also seen to develop normally onboard the ISS for a period of four days, eventually becoming blastocysts - collections of cells that later develop into the fetus and placenta.I expect much related frivolity and observational humor in the comments. Do not disappoint me. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The ONT Fotomat staff will see all photos from rolls of film you drop off for development.

The patron saint of firearms is Saint Gabriel Possenti. He is recognized for his exceptional marksmanship, which he demonstrated by disarming a gang of mercenaries and demonstrating his proficiency with a handgun. His story includes rescuing a young woman from rapists and successfully shooting a lizard with his gun, which led to the fear of the band of thugs and their retreat. Saint Gabriel Possenti is also celebrated for his role as a Passionist monk and was canonized in 1920.

Establishing permanent human colonies off Earth means gravity different from 1g, and reproducing in it. That is likely going to be a big problem. You can assume there's some tolerance there. We just don't how big that tolerance is. Ever biological process here has 1g has constant background given. And the evidence is that things just start going awry in something different from than 1g. The Moon is about 1/6g. Mars is about 0.38g, call it 1/3.

Garbage Dinner of the Day (made to use up stuff I had on hand).
Mexican Mulligan 1 cup of brown rice (before cooking). I use brown rice because I have teh Diabeetus. White okay if you don't. Good slug of soy sauce (hey, this is a scientific recipe) Good slug of Worcestershire sauce 1 cup of frozen pepper strips 1.5 pounds hamburger, drained 1 packet Williams chili seasoning (you can use another brand if you wish, and I will explain why you are wrong...heh) 1 can red beans 1 can diced tomatoes Cook rice. When it's just about done, add the soy sauce, chili seasoning, and Wash-Your-Sister sauce. Stir well. Cook hamburger separately, OR used canned cooked ground beef (with fat removed) OR canned corned beef. In this case I had a can of cooked ground beef in the emergency stockpile that needed to be used up. Add meat, beans, and tomatoes. Simmer for 15-20 minutes at least. I used some torn-up pieces of whole wheat bread from the last batch I made in lieu of crackers. Pretty tasty. Way more than one person can eat at a sitting. The rest will go into freezer containers.

Have to go get some grub, but wanted to continue (a bit) the 2A/AR discussion from last thread.
whig quoted Bruen thusly: "When the Second Amendment’s plain text covers an individual’s conduct, the Constitution presumptively protects that conduct. The government must then justify its regulation by demonstrating that it is consistent with the Nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation." Herein lies, perhaps, what I think is the quintessential perversion and usurpation by the courts. That last sentence. If the "Nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation" violates the 2A, it's OK? In fact it is the *basis* for ruling on the 2A? To use a legal academic expression, WTFF? So here's what the 2A *actually* says, I guess: A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed, excepting insofar as such infringement is consistent with the Nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation. How am I wrong here? 2A is not a firm or clear limit on government, it's a suggestion? If courts and legislatures have infringed it "historically", well, they can do that. (cont.)

wonder who the patron saint of firearms is.
Posted by: nerdygirl The patron saint of weapons and firearms is Saint Sebastian. He was a Roman soldier and Christian martyr (died around 288 AD) who was sentenced to be executed by being shot with arrows. Over time, his patronage extended to firearms and anyone who works with or depends on weapons (hunters, law enforcement, military personnel, gunsmiths, etc.). He is usually depicted tied to a tree or post, pierced with many arrows. Posted by: Tonypete at May 27, 2026 10:20 PM (440br) Posted by: San Franpsycho at May 27, 2026 10:20 PM (RIvkX) 103

This seems to capture perfectly the court's legislative power, which is limited only by previous laws or rulings, regardless of how aberrant or baseless they were. NOT by the constitution itself. As to all the other considerations, thanks for the commenters talking about them, I am aware of them. They can be summed up under "bad faith, lawless performance of duties" by the courts. Which has reached histrionic almost comical proportions, with the leaks in the abortion case and the gaming/delays of the VRA case. Anyway. Posted by: rhomboid at May 27, 2026 10:21 PM (U/Byj) 104

>>> 77 The patron saint of firearms is Saint Gabriel Possenti. He is recognized for his exceptional marksmanship, which he demonstrated by disarming a gang of mercenaries and demonstrating his proficiency with a handgun. His story includes rescuing a young woman from rapists and successfully shooting a lizard with his gun, which led to the fear of the band of thugs and their retreat. Saint Gabriel Possenti is also celebrated for his role as a Passionist monk and was canonized in 1920.

She replies: "Oh, I raise him to be a free person; I don't want to frustrate him." - Another man behind the mother carefully opens the shampoo bottle he was carrying and pours it on her head, saying: "Oh yes, my mom raised me like this too." - Then another lady, behind the shampoo man, hands him a small banknote, saying: "Take this — it's my share for the shampoo."

> Yeah, Kodachrome was a different process. One attribute was better color, deeper saturation. Archival quality.
Posted by: Common Tater at May 27, 2026 10:17 PM (/0pJR) Yes. As far as archival quality goes, the main difference was that Kodachrome (Process K-14) was dyed during processing, rather than having the dyes put in the separate layers at the factory, as with Ektachrome/Fujichrome/Agfachrome/Process E-6 slide film (and Process C-41 color negative film). This meant that you could use Extreme Badass dyes rather than being limited to the pussboi dyes that would work in a so-called "integral tripack". Process K-14 was a Rube Goldberg procedure of diffusing a colored dye into the film, then diffusing it back out, carefully rexposing the film to light during processing through colored filters built in to the film stack, and about a million other steps. You needed trained chemists on staff to run a K-14 line. In practice, only Kodak itself and a few very large independent processors could afford to process it. E-6 and C-41 could be processed by local labs, or even at home if you were a careful worker. Posted by: Rodrigo Borgia at May 27, 2026 10:28 PM (IG3/x) 136

JackStraw thanks, and I have been following the DOJ's new-found attention to constitutional rights including the Second.
Too meaty for an ONT but whig's cite from the Bruen decision contained, as I said above, what seemed a clear statement of the judicial derailment and usurpation. Not just the 2A, but across the board, and not just recently. If wildly unconstitutional laws were tolerated in the past, then they over-ride the constitution's clear language today. That's actually just part of the problem. Constitution was designed and intended to be amended as needed. In some ways it has been. But in wide critical areas it's simply ignored, or "interpreted" out of common sense existence, when the populace clearly would be opposed to amending it. The 2A gives no cover whatsoever to this horseshit, so it might be the purest example. Posted by: rhomboid at May 27, 2026 10:43 PM (U/Byj) 207

It's been amply demonstrated to all of us over the last decade that we have a huge problem in our legal system, largely our judiciary. They routinely ignore black letter law, overstep their authority and ignore precedent. And why not, there is no downside to going yolo. Neither Roberts nor Congress has done squat to stop them and in some cases like FISA just keeps shoveling them money. That's the next big problem we have on the to do list.

Why gold bars?
Well it is a currency par excellence. US Dollars aren’t as desirable by foreigners or foreign governments. Recall that when Obie paid off the Iranian mullahs, they wanted Swiss Francs and pallets of gold bullion. Stable. Not dollars. They take up a lot of room now, since $100 is the largest note, and barely buys a box of smokes. Sometimes you’ll take a slight discount if you want to convert into local currency, but recognized gold coins are universal money everywhere. Very convenient for spooks paying off informants, and paying in dollars or other currencies might result in very awkward questions. Just guessing, mostly. But I doubt I’m mistaken, because I’m not.

Oh, good grief. I just watched a movie trailer called "The Brink of War" about Reagan and Gorbachev meeting in Iceland in 1986. I can't wait to see how they screw up historical record on that one.
Jeff Daniels (about as Leftist as they come) is playing Reagan and using his normal voice while wearing a half-ass wig. I shutter to think of the liberties they will take and the outright nonsense they will imply to take down Reagan's legacy. They'll probably try to make it look like Gorbachev was the competent one.

Hard to find open details on specific targets in Kuwait, generally, during the ongoing unpleasantness. There were some hits on a hotel and their social security HQ high-rise during Round 1, which had video. But we've got significant resources/bases/personnel there. Ali as-Salem airbase being one, where most (I think) of our KIA to date have been.
So, among the sane, some rational targets in Kuwait. But you're dealing with the IRGC, or factions thereof, possibly, so sky's the limit. Posted by: rhomboid at May 27, 2026 11:15 PM (U/Byj) 300

Beaufort Castle (historic Crusader castle in southern Lebanon) reportedly hit by Israeli fire. After, reportedly, a lot of shelling of the area nearby.
Now, since we know the IDF is famous for just kind of shooting randomly, carpet bombing, spray-and-pray, and other primitive Third World military tactics, why would there be shelling of the area near the castle? Bueller? Oh, right. No, the IDF tries/usually succeeds in being so precise it's considered a demerit if a high-value target hit takes out anyone else at all. Poor Lebanon. "Palestinians", then Iran, have ruined the place, and it's doubtful there'll be any real improvement in our lifetime. Posted by: rhomboid at May 27, 2026 11:20 PM (U/Byj) 308

I have a 500 gallon tank and AmeriGas fills it to 400. At least AmeriGas has stopped using foreign call centers for customer service. A couple of years ago, I could not get it through their thick heads that my tank was down to 6% and we had a hard freeze coming.

There are reports of new late night/early morning (local time) military strikes by the US over Iran. The US military carried out new strikes inside Iran after intercepting multiple Iranian drones, according to Reuters. An American official said the targeted Iranian military site was assessed to pose a threat to both American forces and commercial shipping operating near the Strait of Hormuz.
Reuters further reported that the intercepted drones had been launched from Iran, marking another escalation in tensions as Washington moves to counter perceived threats to regional maritime traffic and its military presence. Just prior to this confirmation, CNN described mystery explosions along Iran's coast: Three explosions were heard to the east of Bandar Abbas, a strategic Iranian port city and naval base near the Strait of Hormuz, Iran’s semi-official Fars News Agency reported in the early hours of Thursday. The blasts were reported at around 1:30 a.m. local time and caused the air defense systems of Bandar Abbas to be briefly activated, according to Fars, a media outlet with links to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

The Soviets took the very first images of the far side of the Moon.
But they used American film! They had captured it from a crashed satellite or spy plane or somesuch. They couldn’t make film as thin as we could, or something like that. If I remember correctly they took the shots, developed the film on the satellite itself, and then slow scanned the images via radio to the ground. The earliest US spy satellites did a similar Rube Goldberg kind of thing, the film lacks being ejected by parachute and snatched up by airplanes. It was a big deal once they stopped using film. A lot of times, whatever they were trying to get intelligence on, the information was hopelessly stale or outdated by the time it had been retrieved, developed, and pored over by the spooks.

Identifying the Car in the Vintage Kodak Fotomat Image
The car in the image is a green convertible from the late 1960s to early 1970s, featuring a sleek, low-profile body, chrome bumpers, and a rear design typical of European sports cars of that era. The styling cues — such as the tail lights, rear fender shape, and overall proportions — suggest it could be a model similar to an Alfa Romeo Spider or another small European roadster from the same period. Key identifying features: Two-door convertible body style Chrome bumper with rubber guards Distinctive rear tail light design Wire-style or simple steel wheels Compact, sporty proportions Given the era of the Kodak Fotomat booth (popular in the 1970s), the car fits the aesthetic and automotive trends of that time.

Oman's a very nice place. Chuckling that they're getting the Greenland treatment here (not a chance we'll bomb them, but points are being made). They're in a delicate spot, being cheek by jowl with the Persians. They've managed to stay out of most of the dust-ups of the last few decades in their 'hood. Though they have provided some help via Masirah Island at times, mumble mumble.
In French west Africa it was always "behind every minister is a retired French civil servant". Ditto for Oman, replace French with British (same goes for Jordan, or used to). Great place to visit.

A few months ago we ran out of propane and we called them. They said nah bro, you don't use enough. I said you filled it last time, and one of these tanks are yours because you exchanged it. nah bro, keep the tank, fuck off.

Franpsycho, I am quite content to let the man cook. Mostly because I can't imagine he and his team don't understand that regime crippling, if not immediate change, are the only worthwhile outcomes. That don't amount to kicking the can down the road (a fur piece down the road, but still).
What's almost amusing though is the weird combo of 1) no real leaks or info from our side about details 2) endless mostly incorrect leaks from various sources 3) instantaneous and sometimes amusing Iranian denials of all the leaked details (most of which cause panic among savvier sorts on our side). There was a background briefing, finally, a few days ago, which was mildly concerning if taken at face value, which I don't. But the combo above has created a cycle of panic/Iranian repudiation/Trump returning to truculent trash talk that (presumably) calms the panicans. Kind of funny actually. Cannot recall a furrin' policy situation quite like it. Posted by: rhomboid at May 27, 2026 11:45 PM (U/Byj) 364
I used to know (but not closely) some people in "Mire" (an unincorporated town across I-10 from Duson) who had an Emu farm, some 30 years ago. So they've been raised in the area for meat, and for a while.
I could never find emu meat in the stores, though. I've eaten it a couple times, it's good but supposedly takes a lot of marinading. Posted by: Thing From Snowy Mountain at May 27, 2026 11:45 PM (bIDMK) 365
The Brits had an entire section of seamstress, counterfeiters and document forgers for their spooks and folks intended to operate behind the enemy lines.
Clothing details had to be perfect. American (and British?) buttons were sewn on with an “X” pattern for example. The European, in parallel. The French would smoke a cigarette down to nothing, and a lot of Euros held their cigarettes differently than Americans, in the first two fingers. Stuff like that would get you arrested.

Yamamoto was at Harvard, and then an attache in Washington. He traveled the country, even went down to Mexico oil country (Tampico), where he ran out of money (gambling may have been involved). Mexican govt. informed us and embassy fronted him the $$ to come back (as I recall). He almost resigned his commission to become a professional gambler at one point. Think he meant to come to the US for that.
Kuribiyashi, the Iwo Jima commander, also spent time in the US. As did one of his subordinates, a royal who had competed in equestrian at the LA Olympics. Jap chief of staff on Okinawa also lived in the US.

Standards for propane tanks, of any size, only allows them to be filled to.80% of their actual volume. This is to allow for a range of expansion. Those tanks can get really hot in direct sun.
Home tanks are sized in volume (gallons), so.it's easy to see what's going on. My 300 gallon tank only gets filled to 240 gallons. The RV tanks are rated in weight, so the 80 % rule in pounds can only be defined at a particular temp, so they actually get filled to 4.6 gallons, which may or may not be 16#, depending on the temperature.

—— Yes, this is absolutely correct. But the fact is, the point here, a 20 pound propane tank has this safety margin already factored in. Do you get it now? They weren’t stupid when they designed these. There is no reason to fill a 20 pound propane tank with only 15 pounds, or any other fraction, other than to rip off the customer. Which is what they do.

I enjoyed every single country I've visited in the Middle East, but Oman was amazing in a way I can't really explain. I'm not sure I've ever felt such peace. Israel was my favorite by far, but time stood still in Oman. It could just as easily been 1023 as 2023. Another place wr never spent a dime on food. Strangers either paid for it in restaurants, or invited us into their homes before we set foot in a restaurant, or tbe owners would not take our money...or quit bringing food out. It is truly tragic that the jihadi/religion has made the culture in the Middle East so violent, because I seriously don't think there are more hospitable, kind people on the planet.

They weren’t stupid when they designed these. There is no reason to fill a 20 pound propane tank with only 15 pounds, or any other fraction, other than to rip off the customer. Which is what they do.
Posted by: Common Tater A few years back one of the big storefront exchange outfits started the 15# in a 20# and it caused a big stink, maybe fines were paid...

Posted by: Common Tater ----- Which is why I take *my* tank to my local propane dealer and have them fill it. It doesn't matter whether it has a bit of propane left in it, the tube under the valve extends down into the tank to the 80% level. When liquid comes out of the relief valve, it's as full as it's supposed to be. Then I pay for the exact amount of propane they just metered out. Those exchange tanks at the hardware or big box store (Blue Rhino, etc) is where you're getting taken. Note that they never actually tell you how much propane you're getting. Note the the valve and associated tube is tank size specific. Basically the tube under the valve is longer for larger tanks. Posted by: buddhaha at May 28, 2026 12:49 AM (Bf+vG) 453

Well I’m glad everyone is tracking now.
I can get just short of 13 days running 24/7, on a catalytic heater set on low, provided it’s a full tank of 20 pounds. This is excellent fuel “mileage”, and I don’t need to run it 24/7 unless it gets truly cold. So it extends out to almost a month. When they only fill it to 75% of their rated safe capacity, it just fucks up my fuel planning. There’s no reason for it, other than they are fuckheads.

Sultan's military band was practicing near the hotel one day, we enjoyed the show. Reminded me of the early scene in "Patton", colorful, colonial-style military band.

Blonde I am assuming it will get much sportier at some point. The prospect of a "deal" is extremely dim, of a remotely acceptable one, vanishingly small.
I personally am a big fan of "hot" ceasefires. Most of these have been in the MidEast (surprise!). In the No. 1 is the ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel. Naturally Hezb didn't follow the requirements from the get-go, so naturally the Israelis immediately responded, and continued to respond to Hezb's mostly clumsy attempts in south Lebanon. As in Gaza, Hezb has interwoven their military assets with civilian infrastructure, so some villages now look like Gaza, plus the main town. Anyway it's been "hot" all the way. Don't have inside story of course but there has been US dipshi**ery along the way. A request to not bring down buildings (this is about Dahiyeh, the southern Beirut suburb, "Hezbollahland". For "PR" reasons. Stupid. Anyway, there've been some targeted hits there in any case. We haven't attempted to seriously restrain Israeli action and won't. They're not going to live with being attacked daily by these idiots. One more reason Tehran must change management. Posted by: rhomboid at May 28, 2026 01:47 AM (U/Byj) 496

Better than the trashy movie, anyway. *Blindly punches up a number on the Wurlitzer* https://youtu.be/gSWInYFVksg G'nite, y'all.💤 Posted by: mindful webworker - aaaand... it's aliens! at May 28, 2026 01:49 AM (kU8xu) Posted by: Biden's Dog sniffs a whole lotta malarkey, at May 28, 2026 01:49 AM (a1meb) 499

I think he's nuts. His tool storage methods are those of a mad man. He got snap-on tools and cheap yang poon tools mixed together in piles in separate boxes. I found a small tool box loaded with sockets of all brands mixed together.

Replying to @SirBylHolte @Q_A_Wagstaff **Yes.** A 2025 Concerned Women for America report found ~41% of Netflix’s G-rated and TV-Y/TV-Y7 kids’ shows include LGBT characters, themes, or messaging. Examples: - *Strawberry Shortcake: Berry in the Big City* (trans character Banoffee, nonbinary Raisin Cane) - *The Magic School Bus Rides Again* (same-sex moms, trans-coded chameleon) - *Dead End: Paranormal Park* (trans lead) - *The Baby-Sitters Club* (trans boy storyline) - *Ridley Jones* (nonbinary character) Netflix also has an official “LGBTQ+ Stories for Families” section.

Hey Hordlings, greetings from your Old Asia Hand in Singapore, Publius Redux. Glad to see my home state of Texas gave Cornyn the boot. As to the "buh, buh, buh now democrats will use his past troubles against him" trolls; This is utter nonsense pushed by the GOPe Bushies who have had a thankfully ever declining influence in Texas for some time now. All of Paxton's mostly ginned up "past troubles' have been aired to death in several statewide elections and in a sham impeachment. They are known and have been soundly rejected by the YX electorate who like him because he is a fighter despite of this crap.
I also cannot tell you folks enough about how much everyone in the rest of TX hates liberal freaks from Austin. Hell, they just hate people from Austin in general, even the mid-road types. And Talarico is very-VERY Austin Freak-ish. It oozes out of him. This, by itself = a 10-15 point victory by Paxton. Once the carpet bombing adds showing him, in his own words/voice, speaking about his f-d up "Christian Tranny, Gay, Abortion" doctrine - it might end up being a 20 Point victory. I hope Democrats burn 100M on this guy. It. Will. Not. Work. Posted by: Publius Redux at May 28, 2026 02:36 AM (/aZwr) 543
Oh good lord. 12 years...
Posted by: Berserker Yeah. A basket case by now, huh? Posted by: JQ at May 28, 2026 02:32 AM (rdVOm) Not really. The tank will smell realllly bad, and the carb is fubar, but I've dealt with worse. As long as the carb isn't rotted it can be brought back easy. I just brought a 1951 panhead back to life that sat for 15 years. If it was fuel injection you would be sooo screwed, but the carb would be easy. I would imagine it still has the stock CV carb, and they aren't too bad. Might have a clogged accelerator pump nozzle and jets, but no biggie. When you're ready we can conquer it. Posted by: Berserker-Dragonheads Division at May 28, 2026 02:37 AM (snZF9) 544

Buffalo Named "Donald Trump" Spared From Islamic Sacrifice In Bangladesh
I'm calling shenanigans that this is even Islamic. Looks like tribal Bronze Age scapegoating to me, except with a water buffalo. Islam has a completely different ritual, where they chuck stones at some pillar representing Satan. There's sacrifice of cattle but those are not to represent unclean things they hate. It's to represent the taking of life necessary to sustain the people. (Like kosher butchery possibly, a Jewish 'ron might help here) tl;dr a lot of subcontinental "Islam" is a thin veneer over tribal practices usually awful and inbred.

Ruh-roh - Minnesota DFL @MinnesotaDFL · 1h The DFL is profoundly shaken and devastated by the horrific shooting today at the Canterbury Park Expo Center. This senseless act of violence occurred during a sacred prayer service — a time meant for peace, reflection, and community — leaving one person fatally wounded. Our hearts are with the victim, their family, and the entire community traumatized by this tragedy. We stand in absolute solidarity with Minnesota’s Muslim community during this dark hour. This attack is part of a deeply alarming national rise in threats and violence targeting mosques and other religious institutions. We stand in solidarity against this violence and remain committed to ensuring the safety of all Minnesotans. Posted by: beckster at May 27, 2026 07:29 PM (kX27y) 31

Jean Carroll for PERJURY in her deranged lawsuits against Donald Trump HOLY FAFO!! 🔥 AG Todd Blanche has RECUSED himself from this case. They CAN'T cry weaponization You can tell CNN is devastated 🤣 "Our sources tell us that this investigation is focused on a 2022 deposition that Carroll gave where she said that she had not received any outside funding." "Now, her lawyers later told the judge that she had in fact received funding for legal fees and expenses from billionaire Reid Hoffman." "The judge overseeing this case ultimately said there were no issues with her credibility and blocked Trump lawyers from asking about this at trial."

"The study suggests that as prey grew bigger, tyrannosaurs and other large predatory dinosaurs evolved to use their powerful jaws as their primary weapon, leaving their arms with little evolutionary purpose."

89 "A new study claims to have solved the long-standing mystery of why Tyrannosaurus rex had such disproportionately small arms. A Royal Society research paper published May 20 suggests that T. rex, which averaged more than 40 feet long with arms stretching just 3 feet, naturally evolved smaller arms as its skull grew larger." I bet some Experts came up with that. Anyway, T-Rex would look rather goofy with regular size arms, don't you think? Posted by: fd at May 27, 2026 07:55 PM (vFG9F) Nobody ever gave them their proper size. While only 3' long, they had yuge muscles - 24" at least. They grab prey in the jaws, then punch them to death.

Yep, the current big barge is named the Pegasus, and is what transports the SLS to the Cape. They've done this since the Apollo days, to the Shuttle, and to now. The Saturn V transporting was a complicated thing. The SI-C (first stage) was built in Michoud. Now, the S-II and S-IVBs were made in California. The S-IVB (third stage) could be transported by air with that giant Supper Guppy. But not the S-II. That had to go the long way around down through the Panama Canal and back up the Gulf Coast. They had some special Navy vessel which did that. Those huge stages were way too big for land transport across the country.

I believe the reason Talarico's gone under the radar so far (even though I and people in Texas paying attention have been saying this ever since he won the primary) is the GOP-e and Uniparty Republicans wanted to make Texans vote for Cornyn so they bought all the way in to the storyline "Ohh, Talarico is a moderate, Talarico is the one to turn Texas blue!!!"
What total bullshit. And just a reminder, as if anyone doesn't already know; all of the legal harassment of Paxton in Texas did not come from the Left or from Democrats (although they certainly enjoyed the spectacle) - all of the attacks against him have come from the Bush Family Machine and the GOP-e in Texas. And Cornyn was a card carrying member of that bunch. Posted by: Tom Servo at May 27, 2026 09:07 PM (edUvp) 179

You'd think, with the kind of money from out of state he is pulling, Talarico could strut out on stage with a redhead with massive knockers. Give a few staged stares at her chest or when she turns around. That kind of thing.

No one cares if Talarico is gay or not. Care a little if he lies about it. What we REALLY care about is that he's a heretical false preacher trying to tear down Christianity from the inside with anti-Christian teaching.

Who would have thought a pro-amnesty Senator who wrote and passed the first gun control bill in over three decades would have been unpopular in Texas?
@amuse @amuse TEXAS SENATE RACE: Ken Paxton won 252 counties out of 254 with Cornyn only winning Travis County (Austin) and tiny Kenedy County (winning just 6 out of 8 votes). Cornyn and the Senate Republicans spent more money on this campaign than any other Senate campaign in history and lost by double digits. Imagine what the GOP could have done with that money in the 12 House toss-up seats. Embarrassing hubris on display in Texas - shame on you Cornyn, shame on you Thune. 9:01 AM · May 27, 2026 Politico (2022): Biden, in fact, also sees Cornyn as critical; the senator’s staff is in touch with the White House on guns and Biden recently described the Texan as a “rational Republican.” “People are going to say what they’re going to say,” Cornyn said. “But I’m happy to be part of the coalition of the rational.” Posted by: BetaCuck4Lyfe at May 27, 2026 09:12 PM (9aVck) 189

Sumbitch chose the wrong blue.
The Washington Post Style section asks the question: "Did Trump pick the right blue for the Reflecting Pool? We asked a pool guy." After reading through 1,221 words of TDS infused remarks, the Post finally gets to the point: Per Swimming Pool Steve, the blue color President Trump picked is "going to very likely be a more sharp and accurate reflection versus the original gray color...

Posted by: Free idea for Paxton campaign The old court case of US v Miller is where Scalia dredged up the firearms in common use language for arming militia in Heller, and that is now established as the historical test used for Scotus in 2A analysis. Given semi automatic rifles have existed since the beginning of the 20th century, the recent attempts at banning semi automatic rifles doesn't meet the historical test for states to be allowed to ban them. Even the NFA act of 1934 and the GCA of 1968 did not do so. That is where I would take my aim at. Demonstrating bans on semi automatic rifles and firearms are NOT historically based.

Not clear to me that in-person voting here in CA could be so easily gamed. You have to sign in to the roster. I dunno if you have to be registered to show up on that. When you do, they claim, your mail ballot or any provisional ballot are cancelled out.
I think it really comes down to that. If you don't have to be registered, free for all. Guessing it's not like that. No ID, for sure. Years ago I stunned the nice people at the very empty polling place by signing in after they asked for my name, and then asking, in a friendly way - "how do you know that's me?". Blank looks. Two young volunteers were there. One by chance was a guy who played goalie at the Friday hockey pick-up. The old folks sort of sat there puzzled, the two kids said "yeah, that's a good point".

There’s this weird thing with liberals. Modern leftists anyhow. They don’t know how to think. I mean, there are basic building blocks to logic and reason, it doesn’t require a Big Brain or be an Einstein. They seem to reject thinking at all now, in favor of emoting, and slogans. Thought ending cliches. I expect this if someone is 25, not when they are 45 or 55. The implication was “Childless women (or homosexuals) should not be in charge of nations” and he knew he had to accept that thesis. And he didn’t like that idea too much.

In short, they get away with it because they're in circuits that are dominated by left-leaning judges. So far, every challenge has failed at the circuit level so there is no circuit split to force (to whatever extent they can be forced) SCOTUS to tackle the issue head-on. Posted by: Oddbob at May 27, 2026 10:00 PM (vTZFs) 286
So you get the fact pattern of a ban against semi automatic rifles in a state law, compare the historicity of such bans by other states and most importantly the federal government, and then issue a decision.
That takes district courts doing fact finding, then courts of appeal reviewing it, then Scotus review if any. Takes years to work out in a lot of cases where you have jurisdictions and courts with an animosity toward a fundamental right. The lower courts figure they can't catch us all, the appellate courts gussy up the district court opinions in bloviation, and then Scotus sits on its ass for years. They did that with affirmative action too for far too long. Posted by: whig at May 27, 2026 10:01 PM (E4rtv) 287

Posted by: Oddbob Scotus ignores that if it wants to on conflicts. Rule 10 is more an advisory guide to appellants than a hard fast rule on cert. It is more because you probably have about 4 justices that are supporters of the 2a--Gorsuch, Alito, Thomas, and Kavanaugh. Two that are wobbly, ACB and Roberts, and three that are hostile--Kagan, Action Jackson, and Sotomayor. It takes four votes to grant cert but you don't want to grant cert if you think the weaker justices will sign on to the hostiles. So you wait, sometimes years, for the best fact pattern to force the weak justices to vote your way.

Posted by: Cow Demon at May 28, 2026 01:43 AM (po3Ws) Gay Weirdo James Talarico: All of Those "Cringey" Things I Said In the Past Few Years Are Either Completely True or Completely Out of ContextVia Twitchy, the Daily Wire reports that this Totally Real Authentic Bible-Believing Christian attends a church whose library contains gay groomer books. More from the Daily Wire: The Texas church where Democrat James Talarico has delivered his radical sermons is pushing radical gender ideology on children, featuring books filled with sexually explicit content and transgender ideology. Talarico, the Democrat nominee for the crucial Senate election in November, attends St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church in Austin. There, children have access to a library stocked with "banned books" that promote ideas rejected by most Christians, including books that contain descriptions of anal rape, incest, and oral sex, according to a Daily Wire review of its offerings. Books found in the St. Andrew's catalog include the book "Gender Queer," which includes illustrations of oral sex and masturbation, and the book "All Boys Aren't Blue," which discusses anal rape and incest. "This Book Is Gay," has a chapter on the "ins and outs of gay sex," while the book "Becoming Nicole" tells the story of a gender-confused teen boy who identifies as girl with the support of his family. In "The Courage to Be Queer," the author claims that "God is queer." Other books in the church catalog include "This Book is Gay," "Trans Kids, Our Kids: Stories and Resources from the Frontlines of the Movement for Transgender Youth," "Called OUT: The Voices and Gifts of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgendered Presbyterians," "The Courage to Be Queer," and "Becoming Nicole: The Transformation of an American Family." Talarico, looking to flip a Senate seat in a state President Donald Trump won by 14 points in 2024, has faced criticism over comments he made on transgender ideology. It will likely be a central theme in the campaign against him -- in his first speech as the official Republican nominee on Tuesday night, Republican Ken Paxton referred to Talarico as both "Six-Gender Jimmy" and "James Tala-FREAKO." Republican congressman Brandon Gill on the same stage went after Talarico over the Daily Wire report earlier this year on the time he said the thing he loved most in the world was "trans children." St. Andrew's, the church where Talarico delivered his sermon that asserted that "our trans community needs abortion care too," says it offers banned books so that children can find "affirmation in the books they read." It boasts that the books "shift our perspective, develop empathy, and see more clearly the call to justice among all people." "We are a safe haven for controversial narratives right in the heart of Texas, the state that takes the top prize in challenged books. Take a moment to browse our collection of banned books and see what you notice ... common themes ... particular experiences and identities being censored," the church says of its banned books collection. Talarico has voted in the state legislature against keeping men out of women's sports and claimed it was "abusive" and "destructive" if parents did not accept their child's alleged gender identity. He has also stated his belief that "god is nonbinary," and that Jesus was a "radical feminist."Here are some pages from this Groomer Manual. Literally every aspect of "Christianity" is, according to this gay pretender, a validation of homosexuality and transgenderism:
Tom FittonFrom that he gets "Jesus sayeth that we're all non-binary." He also says that Mary had to "give consent" to not abort Jesus:

Hi everyone. I've been a conservative Christian my whole life, but I'm very concerned about the direction that Bush took this country in, and which McCain is threatening to take it. While I have never before voted for a Democrat of any kind, I'm so concerned about the state of the country that I have decided to vote for the moderate centrist common-sense Democrat Barack Obama. He will bring hope to the country and heal our wounds.Over and over and over and over -- the same canned script being pumped out by David Axelrod's army of Paid Election Interferers. We used to call this "Mobying" because Moby, the bald gay vegan techno musician no one ever liked, explicitly championed spamming the comments of news sites and blogs with fake messages to trick Christians into voting for the extinction of Western civilization. We saw a very clumsy effort from the Democrats to convince us that all straight truck-driving beer-drinking Real Men were totally supporting Noted He-Man Tim Walz. You will not be too terribly surprised to learn that the same Concerned Christian Conservative Seminar Commenters have been reactivated to boost the gay Satanic seminarian Talarico: Ryan J Higgins, Ed.D.Former AOS commenter and now NR cuck Jeff Behar made a good point about Talarico: Every claim he makes about "Christianity" is "instrumental." What he means by that is that Talarico never talks about Christ except to twist his words to support a far-left/transgender extremist agenda item. He never talks about the sacrifice of Christ, nor the salvation he offers. He never asks for prayer nor offers them. No, to Talarico, the New Testament only exists to prefigure the Democrat Socialists' 2026 agenda. The Bible and Christ Himself only exist as a pretext for pushing far-left talking points about gays, transgenders, abortion, and veganism. ![]() Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

By the way, while the USSR and Mao's China aggressively attacked all religion, I think it was the DDR (East Germany) who pioneered the idea of using religion against religious people. The Protestant churches were courted to support every goofy left-wing economic cause that the Commies did, all while their kids were forced into the Young Pioneers or whatever the DDR equivalent was and taught that religion was superstition.
The end result was that even today (when they are voting for AfD against globalists) East Germans are some of the most irreligious people in the world. At least religion in Poland and eastward had some coolness about it because it was against the commies, but religion was fake and gay for younger people in East Germany, so they just gave up on it.

Jesus was a "radical feminist."
NO. No, He was not. If anything, the Author of the Order of Creation was an anti-feminist. He accepted women in their rightful place as imago Dei, as partner to the men in Creation.

Jesus was a "radical feminist."
NO. No, He was not. If anything, the Author of the Order of Creation was an anti-feminist. He accepted women in their rightful place as imago Dei, as partner to the men in Creation. And His elevation of women was the same as His elevation of men: to raise them above the curse that come from sin. He was not a "radical feminist" in any way, shape, or form. Now, shut your piehole, you slimy heretical buggerer of doctrine and truth.

I don’t know what cringey comments he’s referring to but I guarantee they’re insignificant in comparison to giving a pedophile a 1 day prison sentence and cheating on your wife.
“In his remarks celebrating his victory Tuesday night, Paxton referred to Talarico by a string of mocking nicknames — “Tofu Talarico,” “Six gender Jimmy,” “James Tala-freako,” and “Low T Talarico” — while denouncing his positions related to gender-affirming care, immigration, energy and religion” Is this truly all republicans are capable of? Derisive nicknames? And why do they work so well with voters? No! Admit nothing, deny everything! You don’t see Ken Paxton apologizing for going soft on pedophiles. Don’t see Ken Paxton apologizing for cheating on his wife. Don’t see Ken Paxton apologizing for accepting bribes or committing securities fraud. Don’t ever apologize!! Come on, James!

No, to Talarico, the New Testament only exists to prefigure the Democrat Socialists' 2026 agenda. The Bible and Christ Himself only exist as a pretext for pushing far-left talking points about gays, transgenders, abortion, and veganism.

Posted by: Blutarski, Gradually then Suddenly at May 27, 2026 06:07 PM (l26NL) Talarico was born James Dell Collins in Round Rock, Texas on May 17, 1989, to Tamara (née Causey) and Steve Collins. Tamara left Steve, an abusive alcoholic, when James was seven weeks old, and a few months later she married Mark Talarico, who adopted James. Talarico, who took Mark's surname, attended Round Rock ISD schools and graduated from McNeil High School in Williamson County, Texas. ============= I'd say the fact that Talarico adopted him, and that he's used it since at least HS, makes the use of the name reasonable. I will say that a woman - with an infant child - marrying a fella only a few months after divorcing the "abusive alcoholic" father is, perhaps, a bit suss on the surface.

What he means by that is that Talarico never talks about Christ except to twist his words to support a far-left/transgender extremist agenda item. He never talks about the sacrifice of Christ, nor the salvation he offers. He never asks for prayer nor offers them.
- The Left pretty much can't do that with any specificity, because you can't discuss the need for a sacrifice to pay our sin debt without talking about what The Lord considers to be sin. Which the Left talks about all the time, except that they're promoting it. Posted by: Methos at May 27, 2026 06:18 PM (vSvIl) 85

Most of them hate fences - even the one whose porch kitty met an untimely demise yesterday by the actions of a couple of roaming dogs. They put up Ring camera videos of all of the miscreants who loitering on their porches and/or steal their Amazon packages, yet never make the connection that putting up a fence will deter that kind of stuff. They are quick to call our Neighborhood Police Officer, but they hate ICE and want it refunded.

He is a funhouse mirror of what Democrats think conservative Texans are; because none of them actually know any conservative Texans.

110 Paxton won three races for AG. The guy knows how to campaign in Texas for statewide office.
Posted by: I used to have a different nic at May 27, 2026 06:22 PM (ExV1e) ====== And he wasn't just "guy with R after his name". The Bush wing of the party made him public enemy number one for years. They went so far as to impeach him. And now...he won against incumbent senator Cornyn by 28 points. Everything Democrats will drudge up is old news to Texas. They've heard it endlessly for a decade. Talarico is a fresh born babe in comparison, and he's already having to defend himself from the idea that he's a weird, Austinite freak.

--- "But the polls!! He leads both Paxon and Cornyn!!" Yeah, the ones that all had him stuck at 44%? Don't you think that his lead might have been due to not deciding on either Paxton or Cornyn? And that's before we count that Paxton has already won multiple statewide races--the last decisively AFTER the impeachment smear.

"For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free person, there is not male and female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus." This is talking about the "new man" (better than the Soviet Man). The old man is our sin nature, and we remain tied to this old man body, but we endeavor to put on the new man, and "cling to" ... the mind of Christ. The one body of Christ is spiritual, not physical. So I suppose in the afterlife, there is no sex, but I'm sure the new spiritual "body will be something much better.

81 Talarico is the name of the man his mother remarried. His actual name is not ethnic, pretty bland. Why are they all so phony?
Posted by: Blutarski, Gradually then Suddenly at May 27, 2026 06:07 PM (l26NL) Talarico was born James Dell Collins in Round Rock, Texas on May 17, 1989, to Tamara (née Causey) and Steve Collins. Tamara left Steve, an abusive alcoholic, when James was seven weeks old, and a few months later she married Mark Talarico, who adopted James. Talarico, who took Mark's surname, attended Round Rock ISD schools and graduated from McNeil High School in Williamson County, Texas. Holy f**k. This turd blossom grew up in my old neighborhood. I lived in Round Rock from 1982-1990; i was in RRISD when it was just 2 high schools though; Westwood High (the Wastewood Wussies) and Round Rock High (Go Dragons!) I'm actually a bit annoyed this turd is from my adopted hometown. I thought Beatoff was bad; this guy looks like he has a yard full of child skeletons and a live one tied up in the trunk of his car.

Get this. California used to be. Because of the defense industry. Until your favorite President, Ronnie, gave it away. ------------------------------ Even that's not quite true about CA. The last time Republicans had durable majorities in the CA legislature was in the 1950s. It was a Republican state in the first half of the 20th Century, but they were Progressive Republicans like Earl Warren [spit]. Reagan was one of three Republican Governors who managed to win two terms in office (and six out of eight terms from 1967 to 1999), but they usually had to deal with Democratic legislatures, and the Brown family were winning governor races for Democrats before, during and after this period as well. For some reason CA voted Republican in every presidential election from 1968 to 1988, but the state was NOT and never has been "rocked ribbed conservative". A lot of Democrats in Texas 60 years ago were probably more conservative 60 years ago than CA Republicans.

I don't understand how a major political party thinks this guy could be a winner and in Texas, no less
—— Practice, for one thing. I’m old enough to remember a period or time in the early 1970s when “UniSex” clothing and fashions were all the rage. Or at least the usual suspects told us they should be. Some ideas are “ahead of their time”. They don’t quit is the point. Somebody really, really wants to splinter what remains of the traditional or historical religious backbone in America. At one time it was an unbelievably powerful and formidable force in politics. Guys like Talarico are how you do that. Notice he just sort of popped up seemingly out of nowhere, and is getting all sorts of publicity? Posted by: Common Tater at May 27, 2026 06:37 PM (xkBEX) 207

Because Texas presumes a child born during the marriage is a product of the marriage. Steve probably forced the adoption, which would terminate the support obligation, or he'd get a DNA test. Posted by: People's Hippo Voice at May 27, 2026 06:48 PM (73/SM) 252

-------------------- I've seen people compare him to Jim Jordan. Both spend a lot of time on conservative media. Jordan is always doing investigations that go nowhere, while Roy is always proposing bills that go nowhere. But people in TX would be better placed to know if Roy is all hat and no cattle. I'm not from or in TX so I don't know. Posted by: the lower depths at May 27, 2026 06:58 PM (pRtaC) 278
271 North Carolina was an aberration in 2024 with Robinson performing really poorly against Stein. Similar results the next year in Virginia with Winsome-Earle Sears. Both GOP candidates were in the low 40's percentage wise.
Posted by: whig at May 27, 2026 06:56 PM (E4rtv) ==== Robinson tanked the entire statewide slate. The whole thing. And yet...Trump still won the state. This is either prima facie evidence that Trump stole the state (while choosing to...not steal the governorship), or evidence that state level races are viewed far less partisanly by voters. This, plus Larry Hogan collapsing into dust when he chose to run for senate in MD, feeds my hope for NC this year.

The scripture Talarico says means God is non-binary. Galations 3:28.
In Christ’s family there can be no division into Jew and non-Jew, slave and free, male and female. Among us you are all equal. That is, we are all in a common relationship with Jesus Christ. Also, since you are Christ’s family, then you are Abraham’s famous “descendant,” heirs according to the covenant promises. - There, plain as day, God is a troon.

Talarico’s response to criticism over saying “God is nonbinary”:
“If someone’s got a problem with that statement…they should take it up with the Apostle Paul.” ---- The Apostle Paul wasn't trying to get the ancient Celtic people/warriors who settled in Turkey into Christianity? I think it's a pretty safe bet. Anyway, if James cares to quote correctly from the New Testament and apply the scripture - Matthew 7:15, Jesus warns His followers to beware of false prophets who appear harmless and godly on the outside but are "ravenous wolves" on the inside. 2 Peter 2:1 warns that false teachers will secretly introduce dangerous heresies, ultimately bringing destruction upon themselves. Perhaps the good folks of Texas should be preparing false prophet signs for when James comes out to speak or debate. I certainly would.

"As I watched it, I thought, 'Oh, my God, he's having a stroke.'" And then she talked him into staying in the race.
If she questioned it at the time, she was an awful person who was only helping Trump. Fuck these people. Remember how it was the same way with Fetterman? And then immediately after the debate she was like “Great job Joe, you answered every question.” Great work, lady. You sure are a woman of conviction. Joe Biden is about as decent a man as you’ll find in politics at that level, but he should have just done one term and given a whole field of candidates the runway to build on his victories. There would have been no shame in being a consequential one term president. Instead we’re here and hubris was a big part of why. >In fairness after J6 nobody thought Trump had a chance. I knew with 100% certainty that if he was not prosecuted and incarcerated for his actions on January 6th alone, he would ascend to godhood in the eyes of MAGA and crush the impotent administration that let him walk in the next election.

Joe Biden is about as decent a man as you’ll find in politics at that level, but he should have just done one term and given a whole field of candidates the runway to build on his victories.
--- This remains one of the top exhibits in how far from reality the left is, how they will refuse to see any facts that deviate from the "accepted truth." No one but a deeply delusional Democrat would ever say Joe was a decent man. Ever. There is literally no evidence anywhere from any time in his life he was "decent." But more than that, just try getting them to admit that Joe himself promised a single term when he was running for the nomination. Posted by: People's Hippo Voice at May 27, 2026 05:16 PM (73/SM) 88

In fairness after J6 nobody thought Trump had a chance. I knew with 100% certainty that if he was not prosecuted and incarcerated for his actions on January 6th alone, he would ascend to godhood in the eyes of MAGA and crush the impotent administration that let him walk in the next election.
--- Yet another person who thinks a reasonable doubt allows for slapping together snippets of a speech to conclude intent. Trying Trump on incitement, because libs over the years have made incitement harder and harder to prove, would have been one of their biggest blinders yet. They want Trump incarcerated for *speech*. Posted by: Axeman at May 27, 2026 05:17 PM (ikSmX) 93
Before his physiological mental decline Biden was probably the dumbest, nastiest public figure in the Beltway - for DECADES. Oh there were/are plenty of stupid public figures - back in the day the Senate had Larry Pressler, Chic Hecht, and many just barely above the cutoff, like McCain.
Today of course there's AOC, the entire Black Caucus, and others I just don't know of. But almost none of those named are as vile and nasty as the idiot Biden. Senators didn't trust him, in the most basic sense. If the country hadn't already beclowned itself beyond redemption with Obama (and the hysteria that partly made him possible), allowing Biden to be installed as prez would have been the nail in the coffin.

Partway through his term I knew that once he was done as POTUS, whenever it was, he (if still alive) and Jill would become persona non grata. The whole 2024 election mess guaranteed it.
I believe two big reasons he ran for the 2nd term were because she wanted to keep the perks and the power (which is why she wanted him to run in 2018/2019), and because Joe being in public office benefited pretty much the entire Biden family: kids, siblings, etc. Out he goes, and the money dries up, which it did.

Most people don't know this, but Hunter was a butt-baby. I don't usually talk about it because, for some reason, it embarrasses him... no reason to be ashamed of being a butt-baby, not in this day and age. You can thank Democrats for that.
This was back in the Summer of Love, and I was hitchhiking to Woodstock outside of the steel foundry where I got cancer from a dirty furnace, when this VW bus with flowers on the side pulls up. Anyway, we run out of gas on this farm, and then - would you believe it? - a ghostly alien starts terrorizing us. Well, I put on my aviators and dragged that Russian sonofabitch into a wind tunnel, and started beating him with a chain. It turns out it's not a ghost alien... it's Trump! He was just trying to scare people off the farm so he could sell it to the Air Force at a gouged price. Back in those days, Democrats took action, so I told him "listen jack - nobody rips off the taxpayer. Not on my watch!" And then I beat him to death. Afterward, I was so aroused that I banged that drugged-out hippie fella in the van, and 9 months later, Hunter was born. I also banged that dog. Word as a Brandon.

Pretty sure the grifitng is over for the bidens'. hunter fled the country for south africa owing $17 million in legal and other debts. He is also seriously behind on his child support payments and his baby momma is seeking a judgement against him.

201 It would be interesting to see Joe's reaction if Hunter, a white guy, meets his demise at the hands of black South Africans. "Trump took away my son's Secret Service protection. First Beau,now this"

You know who does know exactly who was running the Biden Administration?
Darrius Sweetcum, Esq.; Fanni Willis' boytoy. Those meetings at the WH were with the people directly in charge. Not the proxies. Those meetings were too important to have intermediaries present. Posted by: People's Hippo Voice at May 27, 2026 05:50 PM (73/SM) 219

Obama had other people in the Biden administration, like Blinken and Sullivan. If you wonder why Biden's foreign policy was was such a cluster**k , that's why

But, I'm not sure who was the Obama proxy. Posted by: People's Hippo Voice ================ By Obama proxy you mean someone in the administration? That wouldn't be Jarrett. Do you think he would even need a proxy with Jill and Hunter so willing to sell the country out on so many levels? Just call them up and tell them what to do next.

I've heard the name Sandra Rice before.
Posted by: Axeman at May 27, 2026 05:47 PM (ikSmX) Is she the Farsi ferret, or is it that other one? Posted by: tubal ====== Rice was the NSA, Jarrett took the lead on Iran and domestic politics. Holder dealt with Justice. Biden's guy , Ron Klain, was his Chief of Staff for the first two years and then replaced by a guy named Zients. Zients was probably brought in to try to coordinate economic policy after the horrendous inflation and shortages between Powell and Yellen. Posted by: whig at May 27, 2026 05:53 PM (E4rtv) 228

Posted by: Skip at May 27, 2026 05:57 PM (Ia/+0) 237
Obama I, II, and III juntas were run by very smart, very cunning, very ruthless, and very efficient people with the goal of destroying the USA.... and they came awfully close.
--- I'll give you cunning and ruthless. But the rest was due to the power and position they were given. When you have the entirety of the federal government at your disposal--especially as willing as they were--you don't have to be smart or efficient, with that kind of resource advantage. You're driving a Ferrari in a donkey cart race. Posted by: People's Hippo Voice at May 27, 2026 05:57 PM (73/SM) 238
But, I'm not sure who was the Obama proxy.
Posted by: People's Hippo Voice === I'd imagine that Obama was the middle man between the big donors like Soros, Steyer, etc. who relayed information to the vast number of undersecretaries,etc. under his administration and his former cabinet types like Holder and lawfare inc dealt with corresponding current cabinet types like Garland. Kind of like the Soviet System. You had a dying Breznev at the helm as the titular leader but you had people behind each big institution-State/CIA, DoD, DoJ, etc. that were running the show. Faceless functionaries. Posted by: whig at May 27, 2026 05:57 PM (E4rtv) 239

You know,
If the debate was a one off for Joe Biden, how come he didn’t come roaring back in the days or weeks afterwards with multiple free wheeling press conferences to show how on top of the world he was. Or even now? Has he done an interview lately That wasn’t tightly screened and scripted heavily edited? Posted by: nurse ratched at May 27, 2026 05:58 PM (UOtXw) 241
*hic* *shart* *cackle* Posted by: Hillary Clinton ============== Accurate! Hillary is one former FLOTUS whose political career may have ended in flames, but at least she got rich. Also, people still think she's wise and authoritative. She's well set to cackle at Jill, that skinny loser. Posted by: Blonde Morticia at May 27, 2026 05:58 PM (n7rxJ) 242
Better than yours and mine, but probably a dribble compared to most ex-presidents. For sure Jill is doing this book because she could use the money.
