The Morning Report — 9/ 25 /26
Once again, England is demonstrating itself to be the dystopian Orwellian parody of what they warned us to defend ourselves against. It would be hilarious were it not for the fact that time and again much of what happens over in Blighty travels across the pond and spreads over here. Case in point.
British Prime Minister Andy Burnham announced the creation of a National Centre for Information Defence, aimed at countering alleged foreign disinformation and “information attacks.” The center will collaborate with intelligence agencies, law enforcement, and social media platforms to address what the government characterizes as threats, using Russia as the main pretext...Reform UK party leader Nigel Farage likened the move to a “Ministry of Truth,” while the Big Brother Watch organization raised concerns over potential targeting of lawful domestic speech under the guise of countering disinformation.Of course only a few short years ago Biden Sponge-Brain Shits Pants attempted the same shit over here by establishing the Disinformation Governance Board and appointing the repulsive Democrat/Lectist operative/propagandist Nina Jankowicz as its disinformation Czarina.
Moving back over to England, we have this glittering jewel of Orwellian repression, the BBC, to underscore it all, per friend and friend of the blog Christian Toto...
Now, it’s the BBC’s turn. The British broadcasters’ blatant censorship of classic comedy feels straight out of the Summer of Love era. The BBC confirmed earlier this week that jokes featured in David Mitchell and Robert Webb’s show [“That Mitchell and Webb Look”] had been cut ahead of it being restored to iPlayer for its 20th anniversary. As many as 11 sketches were removed, including a self-referential skit in which Mitchell and Webb joked about the appropriateness of Blackface while in Blackface. This wasn’t just”blackface” references like the ones Tina Fey personally erased in 2020. This involves several skits now deemed unacceptable to the far-Left BBC. So comedy legend John Cleese railed against the decision. “If the BBC could prioritise making great programmes ahead of social engineering they might be worth the licence fee,” he wrote.Here's a subject that one better be careful in the way its addressed lest one be labeled Xenophobic, Islamophobic or worse, a supporter of those who commit genocide. That is the Jooz!
Massachusetts Man Sentenced to Almost 10 Years in Prison for Threatening to Injure Congressman Randy Fine and His Children Orlando, Florida – Edwin Guerrero (26, MA) has been sentenced by U.S. District Judge Anne-Leigh Gaylord Moe to 9 years and 11 months in federal prison and a $15,000 fine for making interstate threats to injure the person of another. Guerrero pleaded guilty on March 23, 2026. United States Attorney Gregory W. Kehoe made the announcement...“Looks like I’m taking a little field trip to brevard county Florida let’s play a game @VoteRandyFine” from an IP address in Spain. Attached to the post was a photo of an individual holding what appears to be a firearm.Well, speaking of the evil genocidal Jooz, Mamdani had his chance to slap the cuffs on Bibi Netanyahu in NYC, so what happened?!
“@VoteRandyFine when he steps out in Florida don’t worry your 2 little precious. Jewish boys will suffer the same fate.” from an IP address in Spain. Attached to the post was a photo of a deceased male with significant head trauma.
“This is gonna be Randy Fine very very soon … see you in Florida !” from an IP address in Spain. Attached to the post was the same photo of a deceased male with significant head trauma.“Why don’t you show us where you’re at? @VoteRandyFine your scared of getting your brains blown in ? Don’t worry we’ll make sure your sons watch …” from an IP address in Spain.
For many American Jews, Zohran Mamdani’s pledge to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he entered New York did not sound like another campaign promise. It sounded like a perilous threat. Had the statement been uttered in isolation, it might have been dismissed as political theater. It was not heard in isolation. It came after nearly two years in which the October 7 massacre was followed, not by a sustained moral reckoning with Hamas, but by an extraordinary wave of hostility directed toward Israel and, increasingly, toward Jewish communities themselves. University campuses became sites of intimidation. Synagogues and Jewish institutions strengthened security.Bibi didn't have to fear a damn thing, but like Randy Fine and so many other ordinary Jews, all over the world, Mamdani's blather are in fact marching orders!
Early Wednesday morning, a man wielding what appears to be a knife chased an identifiably Jewish yeshiva student down a Crown Heights residential street after threatening him and throwing trash cans in his direction. Security footage posted by Crown Heights Shmira Patrol (CHSP) shows the student reaching the safety of his doorway before the assailant, who can be heard shouting, "Now I know where you live" and "Heil f***ing Hitler!," is able to physically assault him. He did, however, allegedly slash the tires of bicycles on the property, according to a COLlive report. NYPD officers eventually arrested the suspect after he had managed to escape from them by jumping over fences. In another incident on Wednesday, a rabbi was not fortunate enough to avoid physical assault, this time in Boro Park, which, like Crown Heights, has a large Hasidic population. The Boro Park Shomrim neighborhood watch group released video of a man beating the rabbi with his fists. The man was later arrested.Lest you think I'm focusing in on this merely because of the Jewish aspect of it, the Democrat Socialites and the Democrats in general have got every single normal American in their crosshairs. You will bend to their will or be liquidated. Meh, they're hell bent on the liquidation as the means to their end — absolute power, forever. Hear me now, believe me later.
We should have had a national conversation about Democrat violence back in 2017, when an Illinois Democrat and Bernie Sanders supporter attempted to assassinate an entire baseball team of Republican members of the U.S. House and Senate. While the would-be assassin failed to murder anyone before being neutralized, he did manage to shoot four people, including House Majority Whip Steve Scalise, who was one of two critically injured. The mass murder attempt could have easily been much worse. Twenty-four Republican congressmen were on the field that day, and had the Democrat assassin been successful, he would have substantially shifted the balance of power in Congress. It was an unprecedented attack on one of the three branches of the federal government. Instead of acknowledging the seriousness of Democrat violence, Establishment Republicans and Democrats joined hands and pretended that the assassination attempt was the fault of “both parties.” Former Republican Senator Jeff Flake lectured the country to “tone it down” because “discourse” had “gotten out of hand…on all sides” — which was his way of blaming newly-inaugurated President Trump for saying things that might provoke a Democrat to murder two dozen Republican congressmen. . . The FBI’s ludicrous efforts to cover up the partisan nature of the attack reflected Establishment Washington’s similarly ludicrous framing of the assassination attempt as a natural and justified response to President Trump’s political rhetoric. Unofficially, D.C.’s “ruling class” seemed to be saying that President Trump and his MAGA supporters deserved to be attacked.And on this horrid note, we have this tragic news to report this morning.
Jim Copenhaver, 76, a spectator shot at the July 13, 2024 Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, reportedly died on Wednesday. Copenhaver was critically wounded on July 13, 2024, during the assassination attempt of President Donald Trump at the rally... Copenhaver was sitting in bleacher C, two seats away from fellow shooting survivor David Dutch when the shooting started. Corey Comperatore, the 50-year-old volunteer firefighter who was killed shielding his family, was seated in a separate section to the left of the podium. One of the bullets grazed President Trump’s upper right ear, “less than a quarter of an inch from entering his head,” according to former White House physician Ronny Jackson.God bless his memory and RIP. Have a great weekend.

The Democrats and their voters are getting more and more violent in their words and actions. Yes, it's startling and frightening and that's not hyperbole for effect. We've entered a very dangerous period. I don't know how this will end, but half this country are raving, violent lunatics...or at the very least, support raving, violent lunatics to get what they want. All to the ruination of this once-great nation.

I've been spending significant energy and effort looking for a good partner. It's difficult, in large part, because I live in the Northern Virginia area and 'I'm a lefty' is now a deal-breaker for me.
I don't believe WOMEN are to blame, though. I believe the LEFT is to blame. Lefty women, in particular, have spent two generations screaming that everything wrong with men is because men are poor humans but everything wrong with women is because of variables beyond the control of any individual.
Men have agency and choose bad things. Women have no agency and are merely products of their environment. But also, Grrrlll Power!
One section from this article his particularly hard:
"One sex is routinely told that maturity means mastering itself; the other is increasingly encouraged to understand and love itself as is.
"Male failure is moralized: grow up, work harder, stop watching porn, control your anger, earn more, become useful. Female failure is often therapeuticized: understand your trauma, honor your emotions, enforce your boundaries, protect your peace, consider how the system failed you."

My son's 31 and hasn't had a girlfriend of any significance. He lives with his mother, my ex-wife. This alone might have caused him pause when contemplating a relationship.

Jr. Black is almost 30. He hasn't had a girlfriend of any significance either. It is a trend with young men, imo. Young women are nuts, but I'm still hoping he finds a nice girl one day.

This is a real problem.
I'm done with the bar scene. Work is not a safe environment. The internet is - at best - risky.
I've started striking up random conversations at the grocery store or Home Depot or the dog park. Meeting people in the wild is usually fun anyway, and I enjoy making new single-serving friends, even if we don't trade information or speak ever again.

Tomorrow is 9/25 - Celebrate Dolly Parton Day Get it? Nine To Five. Of course you did! 'Dolly Parton Day' to be celebrated in Nashville and in California on September 25, aka 9/25
California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed off a state bill to officially recognise September 25, aka 9/25, as a day to celebrate the life, music, philanthropy and legacy of Dolly Parton. The bill to honour the late late country legend was co-authored by Democratic Senator John Laird, and by Republican Senator Shannon Grove. "Dolly Parton sparkled on every stage she ever stood on," the pair said in a joint statement, "but her brightest sparkle was the literacy legacy she built through the Imagination Library. *** The city of Nashville has also declared September 25 as Dolly Parton Day, and has scheduled a day of celebratory events. Other US cities are also planning celebrations.

CINCINNATI (WKRC) - A local farm is honoring Dolly Parton with a larger-than-life tribute carved into a sunflower field. Burwinkel Farms has cut a design into its sunflower field featuring Parton’s name, a guitar, titles of her popular songs, and a heart. Bob Burwinkel created the design using only a lawnmower.Video at the link. Did you notice the call letters for the TV station? WKRC. In Cincinnati. That almost rings a bell for some reason...

The Beer Sabre is back. We’re happy to announce that Beer Sabres, presented by Labatt, will be available at every regular-season home game during the 2026-27 season, while supplies last. Beer Sabres cost $29 and include a pour of Labatt Blue or Labatt Blue Light. Fans will be permitted to purchase one per person (must be 21 or older)What would the AOSHQ version of this be? ----- Good news, shroomers Psilocybin may help the brain recover from concussion, new study shows
A concussion is often described as a “mild” traumatic brain injury. Yet repeated blows to the head rarely feel mild and the impacts — including changes in movement, memory, mood and brain function — may last for months or years. Athletes, military personnel, people involved in vehicle collisions, older adults who experience falls and people experiencing intimate partner violence are all especially susceptible to repeated head injuries. And these are associated with an increased risk of neurodegenerative conditions, including chronic traumatic encephalopathy and Parkinson’s disease. There is no approved drug that repairs the underlying brain damage from concussions. This therapeutic gap has prompted interest in an unconventional candidate: psilocybin, the psychoactive compound found in “magic mushrooms.”Would you try this remedy?

Our running joke was " the Jesuits decided they needed a parking lot more than they needed school spirit," but we were young and dumb and didn't know how expensive a football program was, if you weren't a big school drawing hundreds of thousands.
Ironically, the parking lot got torn up, and now it's a soccer stadium.
And the nuns at Mercy, who managed their money competently, bailed out the Jesuits, who didn't. So now its a hyphenated school.

There is a car in our neighborhood with one of those virtue signally stickers. One of the "virtues" is "women's rights are human rights." What, exactly constitute these "women's rights" that women do not already enjoy today? The only thing I can think of is the right to k*ll their baby/child whenever they want, and IMHO, that would seem to interfere with the human right of that baby/child. I could be wrong, and it's something else, but I've never felt like I didn't have the same rights as my husband.

If the Sabes are in fact offering the Beer Sabre at EVERY GAME, I'll make it happen.
There is still some debate as to whether the organization will commit to having them available for purchase at every game.
Last year they only offered them at two ... maybe three games.
As I'm not a season ticket holder, I only get to 3 or 4 games in person. So they need to be available all season long for me to make it happen ... but if they do, I will!

I lost about 20 minutes. Was on my bike after an overnight shift at the Safeway, and got hit by a car. In my defense the traffic light signal had abruptly change, and I had no clue of this change.
I woke up in an ambulance. EMT told me I was trying to get back on my bike, which had been bent in half, muttering "I gotta get home, I gotta get home."

Barry Sanders was the one of the most compelling running back of all-time.
Right up there with Jim Brown and OJ.
The best running back ever, of course, was Walter Payton.
Who is, arguably, the greatest football player of all-time.

High(er) dose Creatine helps with concussion recovery as well.
My youngest was treated with high dose creatine after his back to back concussions while in college.
Of course he missed all of his sophomore year due to the after effects of the concussive trauma, and never regained his full aptitude at higher mathematics, and had to change majors.

At least the nurse debriding my knee pebbles was cute.

I woke up in an ambulance. EMT told me I was trying to get back on my bike, which had been bent in half, muttering "I gotta get home, I gotta get home."
I hate that there is a blank spot in my memory.

I got hit on my bike when I was 7. No blank spot here. I remember the horn, the sound of metal crunching, the world spinning as I sailed over the car, and me clearing the street and landing in the woods.

The same thing happened to me when I was a kid, but it was falling off a horse onto a gravel road. Except I don't think I had been unconscious. I just found myself in an emergency room cubicle with a nurse asking me what day it was, and what was yesterday. It was the Friday after Thanksgiving, and I didn't even remember that. I didn't remember that I'd been horseback riding. It was very bizarre.

Sydney Sweeney is the funniest stress test feminism has ever encountered bc I was taught that tHE PaTriArChY reduces women to their bodies, denies them individual agency and imposes rules on female sexuality based on what everyone else thinks women ought to be. Meanwhile Sydney is independently wealthy, produces her own projects, owns businesses, chooses to monetize her own sexuality, gains power from doing it and appears completely uninterested in anyone’s permission. And somehow the feminist response is thousands of women materializing to explain that her body is AcksHuAllY a collective political resource and she has a responsibility to use it in ways they approve of bc otherwise she’s “setting women back 100 years” (fucking LOL)
So congratulations ladies! You defeated the patriarchy by becoming an enormous decentralized committee of women policing another woman’s sexuality, scolding her for appealing to men and reminding her that her individual choices must remain subordinate to what is best for Women As A Class.

Some small asteroids are basically just rubble piles. They have a very small gravity field which just barely holds them together.
Those "contact binaries" were likely two smaller ones orbiting each that slowly spiraled in. The relative velocity of impact was so low they basically just sort of stuck together.

We have no problem with the real census.
However, we are not answering intrusive questions about our financials and other intrusive questions.
Also they want to come to our home once a month for four months.

I'd somehow become aware of the idiocy he was spouting on actual important issues, and my One Strike Rule was applied.
Same rule has taken out a prominent WWII historian I've actually met and corresponded with (even helped him a bit), and I'm hoping to get through the 3rd book of a trilogy by another WWII historian who just beclowns himself repeatedly with ridiculous (in context, which as an historian is his job to set) observations about US forces' behavior in the Pacific, plus the eye-roll-inducing obligatory references to "African-Americans" in the theater.
Also, another WWII podcast with Brits, idiots just couldn't help but make their arrogant, incorrect, illiterate, and in the circumstances hilariously ironic little digs involving current "politics". Don't believe in "shut up and sing", rather these people just cease to exist.

We had one in a bio class in HS...the things they did to that poor skeleton. We dissected crayfish...next class, there was a crayfish in its mouth. Later someone took one of the large erasers, put it in the skeleton's crotch, and had both its hands holding the eraser. The teacher was FURIOUS and threatened to give us all detention if she didn't find out who did it...

Uranus was discovered officially on Mar. 13, 1781 by William Herschel. He wanted to name it Georgium Sidus, after George III. That thankfully didn't fly outside of Britain. Of course, George III was a big asshole, so....

Hipparchus (Ancient Greek Homo, of some repute) most likely saw Uranus and thought it was a star. Flamsteed saw it several times, and thought it was star which he named 34 Tauri.
And Galileo likely spotted Neptune in his telescope in Dec and Jan of 1612 and 1613. He noted it seemed to have moved, but didn't follow up on it at all.
And William Herschel's son observed Neptune in 1830, but thought it was a star.

The Rings around Uranus were discovered in 1977. I remember the news vividly. There were 5 engineers in the car going out to lunch when we heard the news announcer on the car radio: "They've discovered rings around your anus". Everyone in the car cracked up, the driver hard enough that he almost rear ended the car in front of us at a light.
In somewhat related news...
Pluto was discovered Feb 18, 1930. I know this because we just visited Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff last month. The scope used is decommissioned, but open as a monument.

I subscribe to the hypothesis that football has always been a proxy for war. The idea is that it trains courage and discipline at the high-school level, then tactical mindset at the college level, while the pro level reflects back the public's popular expectations about war dynamics.
So as maneuver warfare became more prominent in the '40s, football rules were adjusted to reflect it; likewise with air power in the '90s. So now the question is, how in the world will it adjust to drone war, or will the hypothesis fail?
It may be a silly theory that has already been disproven, for all I know. I'm still not used to being able to just ask AI anything.

Police have charged 32-year-old Elijah Hemingway with criminal homicide, aggravated assault, burglary and criminal trespass over the attack.

His wife told authorities she remembered her husband addressing the attacker as 'Elijah' during the struggle, raising questions over whether the two men knew one another. (No, he saw Elijah, imprinted on the knife blade, dumbass)

Police said [Elijah] Hemingway later claimed during an interview that Evans had invited him to the house several hours earlier and alleged Evans and his wife attacked him. _DM

Hundreds protest for return of Nobel peace laureate Machado to Venezuela By AFP Published: 12:18 EDT, 24 September 2026
Hundreds of protesters demanded the return of exiled opposition figure and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Maria Corina Machado to Venezuela, AFP observed at a demonstration in Caracas on Thursday.
...
Protester Douglas Mata, 65, questioned why Machado had been prevented from coming home.
"It's not possible that they receive Delcy Rodriguez like a queen in the United States, yet they won't let Maria Corina enter her own country," he said.

Video on what if the Erf had rings, that's pretty good:
https://t.ly/9vO2P
The climate effects would be quite pronounced. Basically, it would make summers hotter and winters colder. On the Sun side, you get reflected light, but filtered light on the bottom side.
The Ordovician is not the only ring period, there may have been one or two more, and glaciations and stuff are associated with them.

Timekeeping at night would be easy with rings. The earth's shadow would be a marker, moving across the rings from east to west matching the sun's apparent movement underneath us.
And, it would probably wouldn't get too dark at night. Depending on how reflective, it could be like twilight all night.
But in the winter, the Sun would then dip behind the rings. It would be wild sight to see.

In the Joe Scott video I posted above, go to about 8:30 in, and they have a little graphic of what it would look like a night, from higher latitudes.
Just as the Sun sets, you see all of the rings. Then the earth's shadow would rise in the east and block out a section. That blocked out section would then arc across the sky westward and set just as the Sun rose again in the east.

The wind isn’t going to be fun at all but the rain is where the real action will be, They are forecasting a month’s worth of rain in three days. Two to five inches depending on location.
It looks like an unorganized tropical storm on the radar right now, but you can see the counter-clockwise spin clearly.

In another venue Sinatra started Reprise records because he thought there were good performers that were not given the opportunity to present. - Altruism and Sinatra don't go together but that's the story. Maybe the craft is the one thing he cared about.
Anyway
-wiki: One of the label's founding principles under Sinatra's leadership was that each artist would have full creative freedom, and at some point complete ownership of their work, including publishing rights. This is the reason why recordings of early Reprise artists (Dean Martin, Jimi Hendrix, the Kinks, etc.) are (in most cases) currently distributed through other labels.

Temp is now 58. Fall-like weather came here right at the equinox, but it's going to warm up again in a couple of days.
The above prompted me to look it up. El Nino has very little effect on AK. Some, but not all that much. It can cause slightly warmer than usual winters.

Italy: A pretty girl, a bakery, and two dogs on the roof. A ball pit for a puppy. But will he like it? The "death track" in the Thagas Valley, Pakistan. This isn't the mountains of Afghanistan but it's adjacent to it. I say that because when you see the sheerness of these mountains, you'll have a greater appreciation for the special operators who fought the Taliban there. Aw: Bear kept in cage all his life still walks within the boundaries of the cage despite now being free. This gang of animals was put together by a mid-eighties action movie casting agent. As you know, criminal gangs are infamously multiethnic. Cow skips in excitement for a donut. Very neat scene. I like dramatic skies. Store allows aggressive beggars. As long as they're cute. Stray cat was so crusted over with filth he could barely walk but he's a pretty boy now. Pittie siblings were adopted by neighbors but still go crazy when they see each other. A dog raised by cats. Old-time cartoons were super-creepy. "Skeleton Dance" still triggers me. When I was young, I had to get an operation (I think a hernia removal) and when they gassed me out I had a dream/nightmare about being stuck on a conveyor belt where at each station someone performed a surgery on me. Just like the old Looney Tunes cartoons, of course set to Powerhouse. There were a bunch of cartoons featuring the conveyor belt. And even more featuring "Powerhouse." I thought "Duck Tracy" had a Powerhouse scene, but it doesn't. It's just scary and weird for other reasons.

So I got up at 7, left, did some errands, etc, kept looking at my phone for a text/email saying "All done, you can come back now."
Needless to say, the work had been cancelled. How did they tell us this? A printout on each of our doors. After we'd left the complex.

One of the best analogies to see why (in the simple current GR Schwarzschild non-rotating black hole) escape is impossible once you cross the horizon.
One you cross, space and time get warped and flipped. The singularity, what appears outside as a point in space becomes a point in time.
Once you've crossed the horizon you can no more avoid that than you can runaway from tomorrow. You can run around all you want anywhere you want, but you can't avoid your future.

Think of it as a boundary in time. We can easily imagine a boundary in space. Imagine you're inside a box. There are walls, which are boundaries in space. You can move around inside the box, and not hit the walls.
Now, imagine a boundary in time. A wall in timeyou're going to hit no matter what, as you're compelled to move forward in time, following time's arrow. It's nowhere you can see in space. It's in your future, no matter what you do.

Never forget when LeBron James tried to doxx and threaten the life of a white police officer for killing a black woman before he had any facts about what actually happened.
Then the bodycam footage came out and showed that the officer heroically SAVED the other black woman’s life that was about to be stabbed to death

Saw that story earlier, missed the "trans" part. Maybe that was left out of the story I saw. Wonder why that could be? Life in prison is the least sentence that it should get. In a just world, the punishment would match the crime, and it would be beaten to death by pissed off mothers and fathers. Slowly.

Quick Hits
A man who was gravely injured in the Butler Assassination attack has just died, two years after his wounding.
"We are deeply saddened by the passing of Jim Copenhaver, who was gravely wounded in the horrific shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania," House Republicans posted on X. "Jim endured unimaginable hardship with strength and perseverance. "We join his family and loved ones in mourning his loss and praying for them during this difficult time," the post continued. "May he rest in peace." Copenhaver, who was 76-years-old at the time of his death, was shot in the triceps. Another bullet was lodged in his body after it took chunks of his colon, leaving him with nerve damage, according to CBS News.The so-called "Reality Based Community" continues to hint or flat-out assert that this assassination was fake. The feds have arrested an illegal alien for voting in both the 2020 and 2024 presidential elections. I assume he's innocent, because the communist media tells me this never happens.
Agents with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) arrested a legal immigrant in New Jersey last week for allegedly voting in multiple federal elections, including the 2020 and 2024 presidential elections, Breitbart News has learned.
Sanata Coulibaly, a legal immigrant from Senegal, was arrested on September 17 and charged with procurement of citizenship or naturalization unlawfully and voting by an alien. According to prosecutors, Coulibaly first entered the United States in September 1993 and was given a green card by the Obama administration in November 2009. In 2018, 2020, and 2024, Coulibaly allegedly voted illegally in each of the elections. "This alien from Senegal has been charged with procurement of citizenship or naturalization unlawfully and voting by an alien after allegedly voting in three general elections in New Jersey," Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Markwayne Mullin said.
Leading ReportYes, she pretty much says that, saying "Republicans are cheating by purging the voter rolls." She also slurs a word because, as usual, she drank her lunch.

@peterjhasson 18h I'm just gonna put it out there: Colin Kaepernick sat on the bench for the national anthem--not kneeling, sitting on the bench, away from his teammates--at the exact time his teammates hated him (a recently demoted backup QB) for dating his teammate's (Aldon Smith's) ex-girlfriend. It was only after one reporter asked--after his third straight game sitting by himself on the bench during the anthem --why he was doing that, that he came up with the answer about taking a stand against America's "racism." That transformed him overnight from a spiraling backup QB whose teammates hated him to a left-wing icon. This is all true you can look it up.
MSNOW president says her propaganda outlet has a "broad range of views" because they pay former Republican Michael Steele to attack conservatives with every breath. If you're an actual citizen, you're a second-class citizen:
Tim AndersonIt's racist to question Hasan Piker's pro-terrorism, pro-murder, pro-"blood in the streets" calls to violence. Or, of course, to ask his wingman Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed about it.
@AssocAnderson Arlington's Commonwealth's Attorney testified that her office has a DUI policy specifically for DACA recipients. In a small number of cases, prosecutors have considered changing a DUI to a different first-degree misdemeanor so the defendant can renew DACA status. (We don't have first-degree misdemeanors - they are called Class 1 misdemeanors - surprised an elected prosecutor doesn't know that). She says the defendant is still held accountable and the original DUI charge remains visible. But DACA status is a factor in the plea resolution, one that an American citizen charged with the same offense cannot invoke. Should immigration status affect which crime appears on a defendant's record? Source: Dehghani-Tafti deposition, p. 89, lines 6--22.

Pennsylvania Democrat state Sen. James Malone has written lesbian fan fiction set in the Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) universe, according to documentation provided to Breitbart News. Malone was elected in a special election in 2025 after serving as Mayor of East Petersburg since 2017. Malone won by approximately 500 votes in the district despite President Donald Trump winning by 15 points in the 2024 general election. ... Since at least October 2023, Malone has been writing and publishing on Tumblr a sexually charged lesbian romance story set in the universe of Dungeons & Dragons. He has since deleted the account once Breitbart News began investigating. In October 2023, Malone posted a "D&D story" on Tumblr featuring lesbian lovers Brylint and Zamkk sleeping together.Brylint work cuddled up in Zamkk's arms, content and warm. After their time at the Tavern, they had a bath and more, working out there tenuous partnership. *This will work out well, for now.*, Brylint thought to herself. With the light filtering in from the window, she could see her surroundings with clarity. The relatively large area of the room was taken up by the pillows she and her red haired companion were cuddled in.... As she rose, Zamkk grabbed her arm. "It's early.", she said groggily. "I must use the chamber pot and perform my devotions.", Brylint said not unkindly. Zamkk nodded, gently rubbed Brylint's arm then settled back to snoozing. Brylint did her business and cleaned up. She performed her rituals of devotion and stretched a bit.
In November 2023, Malone posted another "D&D story" on Tumblr featuring lesbian lovers Brylint and Zamkk experiencing "no small amount of arousal" from "a firm wack on the rear."... Brylint smirked briefly under her hood, "Perhaps, I will need more lessons."That gained her a firm wack on the rear which evoked a hiss and no small amount of arousal. "Do you understand.", Zamkk asked in Ghukliak. "I will listen and learn." ...In November 2023, Malone posted another "D&D story" on Tumblr featuring lesbian lovers Brylint and Zamkk "nibbling" each other's ears. ... In November 2023, Malone posted another "D&D story" on Tumblr featuring lesbian lovers Brylint and Zamkk engaged in "a rather exuberant session" of "intimate time."
... Shapiro harbors presidential ambitions in 2028 after being considered to run with Kamala Harris in 2024. He also received backing from Democrat National Committee Chairman Ken Martin and socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Malone also stated his disappointment with a "Drag Queen Story Hour" event's cancellation in 2024, stating, "It is sad that this event got negative presentation on it," he said. "This kind of come-if-you-want event can provide kids with a broader experience of life in general." The event was set to take place at a public library in Lancaster County for an all-ages audience.

The Texas Democratic nominee for Senate is teaching evangelical voters that Christians can be liberal
By Amanda Marcotte
White evangelicals have been the backbone of the GOP for decades not because they love tax cuts for the rich and environmental degradation, but because they have been told, repeatedly, that Democrats are demonic and there is no such thing as a liberal Christian.
For white evangelicals experiencing doubts about MAGA politics, Talarico is a role model for how to be a liberal without giving up their faith, or even a conservative aesthetic. He gives off Boy Scout vibes with his earnest tones and short haircut.
This is why there’s a growing panic in the Republican ranks over the campaign of James Talarico...Win or lose, Talarico — a seminary student-turned-politician — embodies an existential threat to the right’s long-standing myth that to be Christian must necessarily mean voting Republican.
Most white evangelicals believe “you cannot ever vote for a Democrat because they hate you,” explained April Ajoy, a former Christian nationalist turned liberal Christian...

Present company excepted, female clergy are a catastrophe. It has been long noted, and the mind of man runneth not to the contrary, that women will find some justification for doing whatever it is they want to do. Individually, it's not a big deal. But when one is in a position of teaching and authority, it's dreadful. The Bible now isn't a guide that should direct your life, it's a convenient resource for kidding yourself that it's all right to do the wrong thing.

I'd have to review, but even now our position in the body of Christ is not male or female, and will not be in the new body. But the body we now still drag around with us, obviously male and female. JC was born real male.
God is Holy Spirit, never male nor female. Just Almighty God. God is the Father of (born again) Christians and they receive holy spirit. JC is the Christian's brother, the only one with the new body, afaik. But JC is no longer male or female (and not trans).

How can you be a Christian if you have no faith in Jesus? Talarico has skinned a church and is wearing it like a sheepskin...
Posted by: jim
Marcotte has you two pegged (no, not like that...unless you're into it...)
The reaction from white evangelical influencers to him isn’t just about disagreeing with him politically. They are actively trying to discredit his identity as a Christian.
Trump-loving evangelical podcaster Eric Metaxas insisted that Talarico’s faith is a left-wing hoax. “They don’t they don’t openly say we worship Satan and we hate your savior,” he said. “No, they pretend to be more Christian.”
evangelical podcaster Allie Beth Stuckey’s show was perhaps the most inflammatory: “James Talarico is More Demonic Than You Think.” Stuckey, who has attacked empathy as “toxic,” warned viewers and listeners that “Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. Satan looks good. He sounds good.” Talarico, she said, is “evil disguised as goodness.”

I liked the D&D movie, it was entertaining and some neat stuff in it. But it was long, and it felt long. It didn't really feel like fantasy RPGs either, it had no real dungeon crawl for that matter. I did not care for them having to give every single character a long, complicated character story that was resolved in the movie.
And it occurred to me that this is what Critical Role did to gaming. Its not about the adventure, heroism, or having fun in a wild setting, its bout the egotistical character story, its drama kid stuff now. The adventure takes a back seat to the backstory of the characters, their feelings, how they interact, and the drama they play out, in the guise of roleplaying.

You're more likely to go to heaven as a practicing, devout muslim than as a member of Talarico's church.
The muslim is a pagan who worships a demon.
But they don't know better.
The Talarico church member is a blaspheming apostate who knows the Truth and is perverting it for their own ends.
The flames of Hell encircle them even now, as they preach their evil to deceive and draw men away from God.

Paxton has real baggage, lots of drawbacks but compared to the creepy weird Talarico and his sick politics and statements... there's not really any other choice. You can replace Paxton in the primary but you cannot let Howdy Doody with his carefully protected phone search history into power.
Paxton is kinda sleazy but Talarico is the creepy assistant pastor who wants to spend way too much time with the youth group, encouraging them to one on one counseling, especially that cute 13 year old boy

Trump-loving evangelical podcaster Eric Metaxas insisted that Talarico’s faith is a left-wing hoax. “They don’t they don’t openly say we worship Satan and we hate your savior,” he said. “No, they pretend to be more Christian.”
evangelical podcaster Allie Beth Stuckey’s show was perhaps the most inflammatory: “James Talarico is More Demonic Than You Think.” Stuckey, who has attacked empathy as “toxic,” warned viewers and listeners that “Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. Satan looks good. He sounds good.” Talarico, she said, is “evil disguised as goodness.”

This is a very accurate representation. Also, Metaxas is a true evangelical.

When I went to college, I was asked by other, richer, and more spoiled students, how this laundry thing worked. I was also asked how to use an iron, how to fold clothes, and other basic life skills. My freshman year, I cooked Thanksgiving dinner for everyone who was stuck in the dorm instead of going home. People were amazed that I could do that "without professional training!"

The Senate voted against a resolution Thursday that symbolically called for President Donald Trump to end the conflict in the Middle East with Iran, despite additional Republicans unofficially calling for the president to do so.
Four Senate Republicans voted with most Democrats to pass the resolution, including North Carolina Sen. Thom Tillis and Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, while Democratic Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman voted against the resolution.
The final vote tally was 49-50.
The measure would not have gone to the president for his signature if it had passed, but rather reflects the view of Congress.

Cleaning dishes was one of my constant chores as a kid so of course I came to hate it. Then I had a job in high washing dishes at a fancy country and really got to hate. Chef was a psycho who yelled at me to hurry up and yelled louder if I banged a pan in the huge SS sink which pretty much happened constantly.
Now I can't stand to see dirty dishes. Done in a snap and the kitchen looks so much better. And no yelling.

New York Times Reveals that Democrat Senate Candidate Mary Peltola Abuses Staff, Cursing Them and Calling them "F*ggots"
LOL. She explodes at her staffers and calls them "faggots" and "retards" and calls Planned Parentood harpies "BITCHES."
Points for honesty, but that's forbidden by Mao's Little Red Book of Speechcrimes.
So she's admitting it, with the excuse Muh Hormones and Feelings.
Alaska Democrat Senate candidate Mary Peltola was the subject of a devastating New York Times profile on Wednesday, September 23 which described a pattern of angry outbursts, physical abuse, and slurs for years while serving in the U.S. House of Representatives. Peltola is now running against Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan in November in a contest polling shows continues to be close. According to the explosive story, former aides describe "angry and profane outbursts." In one instance she is said to have shoved an aide according to a former staffer who was present and two others who were told about it at the time. Additionally, four former staff members said they directly heard her use the word "faggot" over the years, even about her own staff members, which her campaign has denied. She also used the word "retarded," according to former aides and text messages viewed by the newspaper.
The report talked to a total of nine former staffers who were granted anonymity. Her office amassed one of the highest turnover rates in Congress during her term, and she has missed hundreds of votes throughout her time in elected office. The campaign issued a statement in response to the story, attributing her behavior to personal tragedy. Peltola's mother and husband died in 2023...
Susan Collins' opponent in the Maine Senate race, Troy Jackson, also has a history of abusing staffers. And banging his second cousin. A new poll says she's up three.
The report states Peltola shoved a male staffer in her office over a missing meeting memo, "causing him to stumble backward, according to a person who was there and two others who heard about the incident soon after, as well as text messages sent at the time." The unnamed aide departed the office soon after.
In another instance, Peltola wrote, "FUCK THOSE BITCHES" about Planned Parenthood after her vote on a defense bill. "I hope Planned Parenthood knows that if we don't win it's more their loss than ours," she added. She also wrote in a text referring to a woman serving on the board of a local Planned Parenthood chapter, "I hope she dies of a botched abortion." The pro-abortion organization has not endorsed her 2026 campaign. Peltola additionally texted, "Fuck that retard" after a selfie photo was posted by a commercial fisheries executive with the former representative. She has attempted to make local fishing interests a key part of her campaign despite not sponsoring a single bill related to fishing during her one term in Congress. ... Senate Leadership Fund Executive Director Alex Latcham said in a statement on the story, "Mary Peltola's closest aides describe a routine history of physical violence, explosive anger, and utter disdain for Alaskans, which makes her entirely unfit for the U.S. Senate. Peltola's deeply offensive and disturbing comments do not represent the Alaska way and she must publicly apologize to her staff and the people of Alaska."
Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) leads Democrat Troy Jackson by 3 points in her bid for a sixth term, according to a new poll. The New York Times/Siena University survey found Collins leading Jackson, the former president of the Maine Senate, with 49 percent support to the Democrat's 46 percent. The incumbent's edge was within the roughly 5 point margin of error, while another 5 percent of the 619 respondents were undecided, the results show.
Eric Swalwell's Hotel Prostitute Wingman Reuben Gallego has also been accused of abusing staffers. And banging them. He says the Peltola accusations are no big deal.
Nicholas WuIn more news of Democrats unmasking, Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed refused to condemn the IRGC, even when asked by a refugee who says his family was hunted and murdered by that terrorist-designated group.
@nicholaswu12 Asked Sen. Gallego about the NYT Peltola story on staff mistreatment, who tells reporters: "when I was 25, I had a really bad boss. He made me run across an open fucking field of raking machine gun fire to breach a door. So, yeah, life's tough sometimes"
Eric Daugherty
@EricLDaugh 🚨 UPDATE: In a SHOCKING incident, a young Iranian-American tells MI Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed that his family was hunted and k*lled by the Islamists in Iran -- and asks Abdul to CONDEMN the IRGC... ...Abdul refused IN HIS FACE. "WE'RE DYING." "You said you didn't want to comment on Ayatollah Khamenei's death...that silence left a GAPING HOLE IN OUR COMMUNITY. Do you renounce the people that held vigils that supported this TERRORIST? Do you stand against the Islamic Republic of Iran that killed 50,000 protestors? Please!" ABDUL: My worry is when one decides we go in and take out the leadership of foreign government... *word salad against Trump's Iran intervention* STUDENT: YOU STILL HAVEN'T SAID IT. WE'RE DYING. ABDUL: I want to be careful. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS GUY?! Abdul is an Islamist...he is MORE WORRIED about upsetting radical Islamic voters so he can win the election than standing with the civilians. You know why? Because he knows that it nets him more votes. If he tries to stand with the Iranian civilians, the Left would paint him as sympathizing with Trump. THAT'S WHAT THIS IS ABOUT. He hates Trump so much he's willing to stand with the IRGC. Vote for Mike Rogers!
🚨 UPDATE: In a SHOCKING incident, a young Iranian-American tells MI Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed that his family was hunted and k*lled by the Islamists in Iran — and asks Abdul to CONDEMN the IRGC...

No, you really don't. She lies. All the time. All of her ads and those funded by Lower 48 dark money are attack ads on Sullivan, claiming all sorts of nonsense. The ads started over a year ago and are ubiquitous. So much so that Sullivan finally put up a website called "Mary Lies."
She claims to be a fisherwoman out of Bethel, but she lives in a mansion in south Anchorage and she only goes out to Bethel to go fishing on her family's boats. She fishes subsistence rules, which she is not qualified for, but since she's Native nobody says boo.
Finally, Sullivan's wife, who is also Native, called her out in an ad for lying about the Sullivan family finances. She attacked him for inheriting stocks from his dead parents. Downright ghoulish, and she mischaracterized the entire thing.
Mary is an ignorant useless scrunt, mostly a Murkowski twin.

First off, 40% would mostly be straight ticket. Lots of LIVs going in and vote the Dem, especially if they are senile and someone else is filling out the ballot.
But partition is impractical. It has never worked. Not once. People urging "national divorce" are delusional. The left portion would immediately attack the rest, seeking to subvert and undermine it.
We stand or fall as one, and if the GOP actually holds on, you are going to see a massive exodus because a lot of illegals are waiting to see if a Dem congress can deliver for them. But if the House and Senate hold, they will scoot.

This is when you let women in the workplace. It changes the entire dynamic from Get Shit Done, to "Where can I get a mimosa before my yoga session before lunch?"
So shit isn't getting done, and some virago lets loose with words that are kind and gentle compared to when Men did business. I fondly remember occasions of fist fights at the delivery entrance at an office building, then the participants would wipe off the blood and grime and go to lunch together and talk smack about sports—then hit the office that PM with their strategy in alignment.

I think it may have to do with Mary's illegal use of campaign funds, and her animosity toward Planned Parenthood because they didn't fund her automatically. She's all in on abortion, but she got mad and "nothinged" PP. I expect Nancy Pelosi finds her a liability, not a net gain. Otherwise, I can't imagine why the NYT would print this hit piece.

It's an info op these days. They try to create a fake wave to push the electorate. The key is to watch what the candidates actually do, not what people claim is the polling.
Harris is coming to Michigan to campaign for El-Sayed. That means he's in deep trouble and needs help keeping his base. She's coming to buff her far left credentials with the DSC types for 28, shoring up her left flank.
That's why El-Sayed won't moderate because he knows he's going to lose, he's just doing this to raise his profile and of course grift more effectively.

A lot of these Dem candidate know they won't win. Internal polling and fundraising, volunteers, etc. tell them that. They are really just making some quick money by fleecing the rubes. Talerico is the best at this, and because the media wants to hope against hope, they're going to pretend that it's all real, because a close race boosts ratings.

El-Sayed has a brand, and that's what sustains him. Tacking to the center is smart politics but it is toxic to his brand. He will be seen as weak, and his base will desert him.
He rightly understands that he is very likely to lose, and it isn't worth the risk. Michigan has been writhing under Dem rule for 8 long years and there is a long-standing cycle of change here. It goes back forever.
That means whatever Trump effect is out there is up against the normal cycle where people just want new leadership. El-Sayed terrifying Bloomfield Hills isn't going to boost his turnout.

And I don't know where people think he's going to win. The polls are a joke. This guy got the nom because to liberal women split the normie vote. Why would independents vote for him? He's promising socialist revolution!
Do people think Nessel's "Jews should just accept we're all going to be gassed, but Trump is worse" doesn't make sense in a state Trump carried convincingly. And bringing in Harris is a desperation move to save the down-ballot races.

The machine has been badly damaged. The courts have ruled that losing candidates have standing to sue over the result. That was not the case before.
These are federal offices, federal jurisdiction and DoJ will have boots on the ground in key locations. The cost of doing fraud is now much higher than it was, and state election officials will be powerless here. Indeed, as DoJ has repeatedly stated, than can be prosecuted for permitting fraud.

Her last husband Buzzy Peltola overloaded his plane and crashed it, so she tried to sue the airplane manufacturer, for his error.
She also has been living in his mansion in Anchorage, but apparently just put it up for sale, for $200K more than he paid for it.
I think that was her third marriage but the count could be higher.

I think there is room to question the validity of these elections, one has to question what, exactly would disqualify a candidate to the Democrats.
I knjow, Democrats say that about MAGA voters (accused of rape, found liable for sexual assault 46 charges etc) but all of those are at best questionable. A guy straight up saying -- repeatedly eve when given a chance to dial it back -- that he wants to kill an entire family for disagreeing with him politically is not disqualifying??

Dozens of Muslim Delegates Walk Out as Netanyahu Addresses UN
Dozens of United Nations delegates walked out of the hall Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was due to deliver a speech in. Addressing the UN's General Assembly in New York, Netanyahu described those walking out as "moral cowards". Those who remained and felt similarly should leave, he said. ... The war was triggered by the Hamas-led attack on southern Israel on 7 October 2023, in which about 1,200 people were killed and 251 others were taken hostage. Israel responded by launching a military campaign in Gaza, during which more than 73,920 people have been killed, according to the territory's health ministry.
They say "according to the territory's health ministry" to avoid saying "according to the Hamas health ministry." Netanyahu said that many of those walking out are liars -- behind the scenes, they applaud Israel's attack on Iranian nukes.
"You want to hear the ultimate irony? In defending itself, Israel is also defending many of the countries whose delegates just left this hall. In fact...many of their leaders even thank us privately for taking out Iran's nukes! It's hard to imagine more mind-blowing hypocrisy."
Netanyahu roasted the Communist Jihadi Theater Kid Zorhan Mamdani, who had previously promised to arrest him if he set foot in NYC:
Mamdani has FAILED to block Netayahu from NYC "Mr. Mamdani, you tried to STOP ME from coming here. You tried to silence me. Well, you CAN'T silence me! You can't silence the truth!" *Applause* "Mr. Mamdani...it's no wonder, you praise criminals convicted of supporting Hamas, you count as friends people like Hasan Piker who said America deserve 9/11!" "And here's the simple truth -- Israel didn't commit genoc*de. Israel prevented genoc*de! That's what Mamdani's Hamas buddies would've done to us had we not stopped them. They would've k*lled every last one of us." This comes after Mamdani CAVED on his arrest warrant push for Netanyahu. Mamdani never had any authority WHATSOEVER to block any foreign leader from New York City, NOR to arrest them. That authority rests entirely with President Trump and Marco Rubio Which Marco DID do by blocking the "Palestinian" delegationLOL. He roasted the UK and France for accusing Israel of "colonialism."
"They accuse Israel -- little Israel -- of colonialism. And who is doing the accusing? Among others, people in Britain and France. For goodness sake, they are the ones who invented this concept -- their colonies stretched across the entire world. Colonialism? Please, give us a break!"He noted the op launched by unnamed countries:

The reality is that everything supposedly malicious and evil about Europe and the whites was earlier done on mass scale by non-whites.
Slavery? Existed since caveman times.
Colonialism? Mongols, Arabs, and to a lesser extent Asians were doing this long before Europe got into the act.
Raiding, raping, and pillaging? Invented long before recorded history.
Europeans were just better at most of these things than other races and cultures. And slavery almost doesn't count because whites were merely the last cog in the chain of the slave industry.

One guy even threatened the select board with a lawsuit calling them thieves through taxation. I dont live in a wealthy town, and the price of housing has more than doubled in the last five years.
Anyway, the rent stabilization ordinance was shot down.

This is the exact opposite of what Mamdani ran on.
He promised to arrest Netanyahu. Now Netanyahu is escorted to the UN by his NYPD while that same NYPD arrests people protesting him, including politicians endorsed by Mamdani.
And we’re supposed to treat their arrests as resistance without asking the obvious question: why is Mamdani’s NYPD arresting them in the first place? What are they doing to hold him accountable for that publicly?
Mamdani chose to keep Jessica Tisch. If his administration opposes these arrests, he has power over NYPD policy and leadership. Demand that he use it.
Instead, people keep peddling this fiction that Mamdani is powerless and his hands are tied. If his own supporters preemptively excuse him from using the powers he does have, what incentive is there to fight to fulfill the promise they elected him on?

"It's amazing how much leftist discourse is just them pretending not to understand things, thus making discourse impossible." -- Millennial Woes, Twitter/X, February 22, 2025
Those silly Redditards! Words mean things. Rent control is socialism, and socialism is slavery, which is bad. Therefore, rent control is bad. QED
But for non-leftists, who don't pretend to not understand, just saying "Socialism!" is, in fact, enough.

The only time anything like rent control or wage and price freezes should be implemented is during a no $hit national crisis like WWII. Anytime else is just angry people bitching because they made bad choices and are angry at the man because has has more money than they do.

The fact this asshole was allowed to speak is what I have a problem with. Trying to garner the worlds sympathy for a genocide and pretend Israel is “defending itself”, while calling anyone who criticizes them antisemitic ismorally reprehensible.
Sad to see Jews turning from victim into perpetrator.
Isreal had the world's sympathy after 7th Oct and this guy managed to make Israel the most hated country on earth
He's low key been supporting Hamas for ages to undermine the PA and Palestinian statehood in general. Dude is *awful.*

Most colonies in the 19th century were similar useless land grabs to look good on a globe rather than something the host nation could make money at.
Many of GB's colonies were acquired because they wanted to have naval support systems in place on the way to India. They wanted India because of textiles and...um...Vindaloo.

Carney is ib the news today because he made it known that his office had considered a U.S. invasion of Canada as a possible scenario.
"I think you have a responsibility in these roles to look at extreme tail risk," Carney told the Times. "That's just risk management. That's not a base case, but it would be irresponsible not to" prepare.
Carney is much more comfortable taking it from the EU on one end and the CCP on the other.

He's playing on the idea that the MOU led to a massive cash transfer to Iran, which people were saying would happen.
What actually happened was the MOU outlined a ceasefire arrangement where Iran acted like a normal country during negotiations, and if they were good, they got unfrozen assets from Gulf States ($12 billion) plus an investment fund of $300 billion to rebuild the country, funded by Gulf states in order to bring the region together economically.
People intentionally misread it while listening to Iranian propaganda that said it immediately transferred the funds the second the MOU was signed.
No funds were ever transferred because Iran was attacking third party ships within 48 hours of the signing, Bessent has just frozen more funds, and not even Saudi Arabia had any idea how the $300 billion would come together.

Well like most colonial wars, it was a bit dicey at first but once things got organized it was a landslide. Same thing happened when the Military suffered the largest US disaster versus the Indians in Ohio under Washington as President. Aside from a few raids on the new towns on the riverbank areas they could do nothing, and a little bit later "Mad Anthony Wayne" led an expedition towards their homelands. There's a chain of cities and towns that were the Days march forts northward to protect the supply line, and the result of the treaty to end the war was England abandoning its forts in US Territory.

I think it is more to the point that the Belgians did not stop the tribal groups from killing each other and opening up transportation routes simply made that easier to kill the other tribes. Same issue in Rwanda even recently, the Belgian troops stood aside and let the Hutus do the Tutsis until the Tutsis kicked Hutu asses and reassumed control of Rwanda.

The native Askari under General Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck were incredibly effective in WWI. Grok's summary:
Lettow-Vorbeck’s force only surrendered on 25 November 1918 after learning of the Armistice, still intact with roughly 155 Europeans, 1,168 Askari, and thousands of followers. They never received meaningful resupply from Germany and tied down an estimated 300,000 Allied troops over the course of the war while remaining undefeated in the field.

So, as the holiday approaches...always look at the small print on those tins. If it says India...put it back in the stack. Also, they might list the import company (which is a place down in Maryland with some Americanized name). In short, do some homework before buying those things....or you have a shot at the plague.

I'm pretty sure that the video which purported to show the Indian manufacture of danish butter cookies was not of danish butter cookies, but of something for a local festival.
You do have to look for danish "butter" cookies made with butter flavoring, instead of butter, though.
Whoever thought that was a good idea used the same Butter flavor as they put on movie theater popcorn. Which is fine on popcorn, but is utterly wrong in Danish butter cookies.

Mortimer Dalrymple and Kim DuToit would disagree with you regarding Africa. Basically all the colonial powers could do given the disparity of numbers is pick and choose which tribe was the least dysfunctional and the least likely to try to massacre the colonials. And they used that tribe to keep the others at bay.
Asian colonies did not have the same dysfunctional tribal system that Africa did with the barbarians on the periphery of settled cities. In Africa, it was everywhere. A quick glance at colonies regressing after independence or the fall of Rhodesia and South Africa makes clear that African tribalism is not conducive to good governance. Latin America, Asia, etc. have problems but not to that extent.

You want America to be a hermetically sealed autarky. If the country is impoverished, so be it.
I like having the choice of evil foreign goods. Competition is good I also like that evil foreigners come over here and employ our people. The BMWs you see on the road were most likely made in SC, for example.
I also refuse to live in intense FEAR of the Outside World. I see danger there but also vast opportunity.
By the way, if you want more jobs here, government has to be more business friendly, and the schools you pay extortionate funds for should crank out literate people who can add and subtract, and maybe not focus so much on who or what they fuck. And US companies should make quality goods. You’ll never see me wearing anything other than New Balance. For a reason.

In WWI, the colonial troops were pretty much the elite which was why they were out front in some of the nastiest operations that went badly. Most UK divisions were not too noteworthy.

I think this is a false dichotomy. We can be a player in the global markets while maintaining our autonomy and also not deliberately outsourcing all of our manufacturing to foreign shores and then allowing those shitty products to undercut everything made at home.
We also don't have to allow unfettered access to our huge consumer market without tariffs or fees out of the goodness of our hearts. Cheap TVs don't make a lasting nation.

Did Sonny Hostin Lie About Being the Holdout Juror in the Butcher of Tompkins Square Park Case?
Earlier this week, Sonny Hostin bragged that she was the lone holdout that allowed the literal cannibal killer called "The Butcher of Tompkins Square Park" -- a man who murdered someone and then cut up the body and gave it to homeless people to eat to dispose of the evidence -- to beat a murder rap.
WTF - The View host Sunny Hostin, ADMITS that she was the holdout juror who kept the Butcher of Tompkins Square Park out of prison.

Why is Sunny Hostin lying about being the hold out juror?
— Jason “Storm Chaser” Nelson (@RealJasonNelson) September 24, 2026
According to this article, Asunción "Sunny" Cummings Hostin is actually upset with the holdout juror, saying she believed the cannibal defendant was aware of his actions. She was upset w/the juror pushing for a NGBROI… pic.twitter.com/tzUFqkhhOQ

@AndrewKolvet
This is the funniest thing on the internet this morning. Turns out Sunny Hostin was lying about being the lone holdout juror who got The Butcher of Tompkins Square Park off on murder charges. The holdout was an unemployed guy who wanted the $15/day juror stipend to continue, and Hostin is quoted as being upset he got off: "He knew what he was doing." Earth to Sunny, the truth makes you look far better than the lie!
ShipwreckedcrewNicolas Fondacaro of MRC says the evidence isn't as clear as that NY Daily News article makes it seem. He says that Sonny Hostin was reported by one outlet as being one of the two holdout jurors. But... even so, she would not be the lone holdout as she says, and also, it seems that the unemployed man was the main holdout, and if she eventually voted with him, it was just to reach a "compromise" with him.
@shipwreckedcrew 1h Unreal. This should drive her off the program. She blatantly lied about her role as a juror in this case. She claimed she was a holdout juror who convinced the other 11 who wanted to convict to change their minds. But this article written at the time reveals her to be lying. Grok confirms her true name prior to changing it was "Asunción Cummings."

I read the link. What she said at the time was this:
We don't think he intended to kill her," said a juror, Asuncion Cummings [Sonny Hostin]. "But once he did, he dismembered her body in an effort to commit the perfect crime."
That statement has nothing to do with any insanity defense. She's basically saying he knew exactly what he was doing, but guilty of some lesser offense than murder. Even if she was holding out on that basis, she's still lying now by claiming she was holding out because he was legally insane.
Bottom line: Stank Bitch Speaketh With Forked Tongue.

Looked up what happened to the Butcher of Tompkins... found not guilty by reason of insanity for the 1989 murder and dismemberment. A jury in 2004 found him no longer dangerous, but a judge, thank heavens, ruled he still suffers from a dangerous mental disorder and requires continued retention, and he still remains under institutionalized psychiatric care. Hopefully for life.
What if the judge was an activist and said he was cured? He would be free now.
One of the Manson cult chicks found guilty was eventually let free.
Andrea Yates could petition to be set free, but she apparently chooses to stay in the facility and waives her right to a sanity review.
All murderers, serial killers, baby killers, human butchers are clearly insane. At what point do woke feminist Karens say yes, they're insane, but also incredibly guilty? To protect society, lock them up? That's no longer the default due to activism. I feel like the Clancy case eroded that, and more and more evil psychopaths will go free.
Would Charles Manson be found guilty now?

I read last night that 1 out of 3 radiologists over read reports.
This Doc (who is the doc of professional teams) normally only sees patients under 50yrs for sports medicine stuff. I told him I wished he had a hotline for retired neurotic RN's. His assistant told me that she was the hotline based on my note of him being a former elite runner...she got him in. I thanked her.

United employees forced a 25 year old woman to return to her seat next to a man who was masturbating (, United claimed
because the flight was full. After landing, the airline told the woman it was her responsibility to contact police and gave her a $100 travel credit.
I hope the woman doesn't take that money because that - literally - makes her a whore. If that's the baseline then any creep can just whip it out and go for it.
Oh, it also makes United staff into pimps. They're the ones paying the women on their planes for creeps to spank it at them.

The actual killers would have been convicted, probably, It’s debatable in regards to Manson, as Bugliosi had to spend a lot of time and energy to come up with the Helter Skelter theory to prove Charlie ordered the murders and was as responsible as the kids who did the deeds.
I could see some slick lawyer today get a not guilty for Charlie. The only Family member who testified against them was Linda Kasabian and a good defense lawyer could throw some doubt on her due to her being an addict and probable prostitute.

It was fun, altho there were only 4 of us from my class out of the 40 people there. The others looked like Karens.
Two of the "girls" lived above me in an old historic (because I lived there) duplex. Hadn't seen them since graduation and we yapped for hours.
I showed them photos of bf/husband with our grands and they couldn't believe the lunatic casanova bf settled down to be a good man. I lucked out.
I did not go on the tour of the college or hospital or see the teaching mannequins as I didn't care. I also knew I'd mess with the mannequin and be inappropirate.

Photographers see the world differently than you or I, they see the isolated bit of what we see the whole of, the part that will make up an amazing image. That's what they are doing when they do that goofy fingers in a square shape thing: isolating a section to confirm its value.
Of course these days since you can reel off 999,000 pictures and don't have to worry about film there's no point in checking first.

Depends on the subject(s).
Still life, fashion, architectural, and product shots still need good lighting and setups, so you put a lot of time into composition beforehand.
Most everybody else; photojournalism, sports, paparazzi, etc. just hold down the button and get as many pics as flash and media storage allows, then pick and choose the best shots later.

What are you doing Maine? She hates you guys
There’s a lot of dudes in lifted trucks paying 250 bucks a week in gas that can’t get over the fact that there might be a trans person playing women’s basketball somewhere in the country.
These are the kinds of polls we need to see. Showing Republicans have a chance means nobody can be complacent in going to vote.
I just went to a town meeting to try to stabilize rent for mobile homes and the amount of people using their keywords like socialism and communism but never actually making a point was a shock to me. One guy even threatened the select board with a lawsuit calling them thieves through taxation. I dont live in a wealthy town, and the price of housing has more than doubled in the last five years.
Anyway, the rent stabilization ordinance was shot down.
really, this should be penciled as an easy Dem win. Are Maine voters dumber than Texans?

There’s a lot of tiny girls whose parents pay good money to equip, coach, and pay the fees for their daughter to play against dudes paying 250 bucks a week for hormone treatments so they can pretend to be women and dominate girls in sports.
But you don’t give one shit about the girls because your main objective seems to be to piss off dudes in trucks due to irrational hatred and otherism.

Eh. Yes, she was a total fraud. But the fraud was barely concealed. She was clearly pimping snake oil that any reasonable diligent investor would have spotted.
But people are irrational and greedy and believe what they want to believe. Plus, her story was right out of Hollywood: young, attractive lady invents radical new medical test.
So she and the company were hyped to the moon. But it was patently obvious bullshit. Fools are soon parted with their money, and all that.

But it's still a serious felony crime nonetheless, and so was Holmes' fraud, and it's made much worse by the fact that the people who invested nothing but believed that they were receiving real blood tests she used to perpetuate the scam didn't deserve it.

Did Candace Owens Take $1.75 Million from Harvey Weinstein to Defend Him and Taint the Jury Pool So That He'd Be Acquitted?
Convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein groveled for "mercy" during his sentencing in a Manhattan courtroom Wednesday -- where prosecutors revealed his alleged plot to pay a podcaster $1.75 million to "instill fear" in his victims. The decrepit 74-year-old ex-Miramax mogul had no visible reaction as Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Curtis Farber slapped him with 15 years behind bars, calling Weinstein a "sexual predator" who took advantage of his "insatiable appetite for sexual dominance." ... Weinstein hired private investigators to track her [the victim he was imprisoned fro raping] after she came forward with her allegations, causing her to live with constant paranoia and "questioning every encounter I have," she added. Prosecutors alleged during the hearing that they had recordings of Weinstein offering a podcaster $1.75 million in a jailhouse phone call to release videos to help his defense by "contaminating the jury pool and reaching the seated jurors before and after the trials." Weinstein engaged in a "scheme to disrupt the trial and instill fear in his victims," Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Nicole Blumberg alleged. Blumberg did not identify the podcaster, but Candace Owens released a podcast series in 2025 called "Harvey Speaks," which featured videos of Weinstein at the notorious city lockup. Efforts to reach Owens directly Wednesday were unsuccessful. A spokesperson for Owens, Mitchell Jackson, said Wednesday that she was never paid by Weinstein.Well, that's enough for me. Cavernous Nostrils has never lied or grifted or race-hustled in her entire life. A Weinstein spokesman denies he paid a podcaster to tamper with a jury -- but does not deny that he paid a podcaster to get his side of the story out to the public.
Is Candace Owens a "friend," then? Guys, she really wants to take down the "Epstein Class." Once she gets done shilling for Harvey Weinstein. She'll have explosive evidence about Epstein, you guys, in tomorrow's big show. Stay tuned, dum-dums!
Weinstein spokesperson Juda Engelmayer denied the jury tampering allegations. "That characterization is patently untrue. Harvey never offered or paid anyone $1.75 million to influence a jury, and there was no such agreement," Engelmayer said. "Talking with friends about media coverage or expressing frustration is a very different thing from paying someone to contaminate a jury pool or intimidate witnesses. No money was paid, no such deal was made, and portraying these conversations as a criminal-style 'scheme' is inflammatory and misleading," he said.
Candace Owens told Myron Gaines in January that people from Harvey Weinstein’s "team reached out to me" and approached her to cover his story.

That’s not to say she was the alleged podcaster whom Weinstein reportedly offered $1.75 million.
But she was certainly one of the most… https://t.co/8ddUGtAmMN pic.twitter.com/pxg0tWMYOt
Candace Owens (conveniently) leaves out that, according to Candace herself, it was Harvey Weinstein’s team that reached out to her because “they thought I would be THE ONLY PERSON that would look at this fairly.”

Every political podcast is like that. It’s like cable news was 15 years ago when people still paid attention to it.
Reality is not that much happens day to day that’s important. But the podcast machine has to keep churning out 2-3 hours of content daily. So they find the smallest insignificant thing and make it an 11. Trunp will be totally destroyed by this thing. Like he was yesterday. And last week.
What I don’t get is how people don’t get tired of being manipulated like that and keep coming back.

Old lawyer trick. "She" wasn't paid "by Weinstein." That's a very narrow denial that would cover only direct payments to her personally from Weinstein himself personally.
Great! What about the probable dozen companies and affiliates that Candy Ovens has set up and the probably 100s of companies and affiliates that Fat Harv has set up?
There are many many ways to transfer money that don't involve direct payments from Person X to Person Y.

No. The media class attracts the worst class of individuals--high levels of sociopathy and narcissism comparable to politicians. Tucker is someone that has been paid to influence policy for decades now. Owens started as a sociopath with her Social Autopsy website and basically made every employer fire her for misbehavior before becoming independent.
And she too sells influence. Both decided their grifting career would be based on selling their audience on whatever garbage that foreigners wanted to inject into the US public and to do that trick--they must have enough followers to get paid.
Thus, they have to continually gin up fake and gay conspiracies for their social media addicted viewers.
It is best for common folks to simply ignore their existence, let Ace and a few others enjoy using them as a butt of jokes but frankly anyone that believes anything those two (and many other grifters online or in broadcast media like Karl Rove) deserves whatever they get.

Asshole lawyer is trying to pursue his white whale while fighting all sorts of disciplinary actions from the bar like mishandling client funds, etc. on top of the vicious attempts to 'investigate' the holdout juror.
Lindsey is still in a wheelchair and as the facts continue to dribble out, I think her peak of public sympathy is well behind her and the nasty facts dribbling out into the public now makes it more and more clear that she intentionally murdered her three kids.
And the husband is so tied up in trying to win a lawsuit that he more or less has ignored justice for his kids in order to do that.
No one with any authority is speaking on behalf of the dead kids including that idiot prosecutor.

SW falls more in the "sexy" column than the "beauty" column. She was deliberately dowdy and unglamorous in the Alien films, but still sexy.
Contrast this with SS, who was deliberately dowdy and unglamorous in the Dyke Boxing Film, and not sexy or even attractive at all.

a new NYT article blames the old gerrymandered map for Utah on THE PATRIARCHY, and hints that Hagen, a woman justice, was unfairly fired for being a woman.
She CHOSE to step down. NYT acts like it was a false smear campaign against a woman, with no evidence. They conveniently leave out that her husband had texts between her and her BFF attorney guy friend she was allegedly sleeping with, that also happened to be an attorney on the redistricting case, oopsie. (Their "friendship" rekindled as her marriage was imploding.) The texts according to the husband hint at an affair. But he can never reveal them due to legalese in their divorce decree. So when a committee was looking into evidence of her alleged affair, to decide whether to drop her as a court justice, there was no evidence to submit. It's all behind a legal wall. So they found her not guilty, but she still left the job, probably because it was too messy.
That is NOT muh patriarchy, that is chummy relations between judge and attorney on cases she rules on, that call into question her judgment.

We are already seeing the tightening you predicted in July. We are now getting walk backs, like Rove in the WSJ this morning, that little weasely, fatman, flabby, dick juggler.
I see more signs of Dems growing concerned. One article said Republicans blew their money advantage by starting too late and letting things be defined and settled in early.
I laughed so hard I puked.
There is a lot of ground between now and November and some fairly big “undecided” margins that I personally believe are the pollsters new fudge factors.
There is no way, like they said last week, that Republicans will lose every toss up race. No way.
If we can motivate people to get out there and vote, our edge in registration will pull us over the finish line.

I finally watched Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, and she has a blink-and-you-miss-it part as one of the Manson cult chicks. She was, um, definitely different looking without makeup and the boobs not being highlighted! Still girl next door pretty, but it was a stark transition to her recent ads.
Lena Dunham also played a Manson chick. She did not have to act much with the crazy cult persona, it was already there! Some of the girls, especially the one Brad's character flirts with in the car, were definitely dialed into the crazy/hot matrix and had the crazy eyes on lock.
She just adopted a baby via surrogate. Someone needs to tell her she can't rehome it, like she did her dog, if it pees on her carpet and she drives it insane. She always scoffed at things like trad marriage with a white dress and family, yet clearly yearned for them in a passive aggressive, resentful way. God bless that little child, may it somehow emerge ok.

I actually enjoyed it this time. Very fun. It's not a Stat Trek satire in the slightest, it's actually about Hollyweird. But I really liked it. I will no longer say it's massively overrated. I have upgraded this movie to slightly overrated but a very fun time.

Whig, there was an article in the Atlantic, of all places, that had a good take on this. They gave a reporter a $10K retainer to gamble and test out the betting markets for a story. (He is a straightlaced Mormon so he doesn't gamble. He sought out advice from his bishop before taking on the story. His bishop gave him warnings he later admitted came true.) He found it eventually affected everything he did in negative ways. His family, his stress. He attended gambling anonymous group meetings as part of the story, and realized he was def jonesing for it by the end. He said it was frightening how online sports betting can suck you in.
He actually brought up Chesterton's fence, and said that maybe when earlier generations banned gambling, it was for a good reason. How the 2018 Supreme Court ruling may have inadvertently torn down a protective fence we didn't realize society needed. And now the wolves are entering and eating up the lambs.

She was good in The Truth About Cats and Dogs. They purposely covered her character up in long sleeves and flowy clothes because her character, while a model, has an abusive boyfriend and is very neurotic and self conscious. They played down her looks and she was still gorgeous.
Oh, and speaking of Uma and a Tarantino film...OMG, so many images of women in bare dirty feet in Once Upon a Time! Margot Robbie takes her feet out of her boots in the theater, the Manson chick with her feet on the dash, etc. He really let his foot fetish fly in that film. It could have been a drinking game.

Her need for clicks to say the opposite (Kirk murder) of anyone else.
I love this for her, to be connected to Weinstein and a pay out.
Regarding who he helped, look at "his" women who got Oscars from their first movie. I can think of two right now.
Then look at "his" women who never said a bad word against him in the #MeToo. There are several.
Bloated toad of a "man." You have to give it all for the Oscar. Those who did not I admire more.
As I have said before, I would know better than to go to his hotel room alone. Second, when he opened the door in his robe I would leave. Third, either an ambulance or a coroner van would arrive if I was stupid enough to go in his room. There would be a lot of blood and it would not be mine.
My mother kept me from two "modeling" photoshoots in CA from supposed scouts in college. I did not even have to ask her as I knew she'd say no. Parents were over 1k miles away and I knew better and thought more of myself.
Markle's ladder climb.. She, it is said, let the Weinstein hog do anything to her. He later bragged he slept with her. Trash.

Of Course: Liberal Judge Rushes in to Save CNN and MSNOW
A federal judge ordered President Donald Trump early Thursday to restore White House access to CNN, MSNOW and Politico, temporarily blocking his bid to ban them from accessing the executive mansion. U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly, a Trump appointee, said the news outlets had met the "high bar" for a preliminary injunction and that White House must "immediately return, reinstate, and restore" their access.The legacy media outlets, including Fox, protested Trump by refusing to carry the White House pool reporting and footage that all other media rely on. I actually can understand Fox joining the embargo, because -- and strangely the leftwing media has forgotten all about this for some reason -- Obama repeatedly threatened to ban Fox from the White House. Fox thinks, probably wrongly, that if they join with the liberal media in solidarity in boycotting Trump, then they will rush in and boycott a Democrat president when he bans Fox. I wouldn't count on that. Very much 2003 thinking. These are communists and the only thing that matters to them is the revolution and then the sweet, sweet purges thereafter. But I understand their thinking. Real America's Voice and Just the News have been undermining this boycott by doing the pool coverage themselves.
President Donald Trump's ban of CNN, MS NOW and Politico from White House grounds last week did more than pick a fight with three newsrooms. It exposed how easily the country's main picture of the presidency can go dark.Hello. Looks like a slow news day. Yikes on bikes what I wouldn't give for a juicy Lesbian Long Covid story today.
... After the White House blocked CNN from its assigned turn in the five-network television pool, ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox News declined in solidarity to fill the slot. As a result, there was no shared network video of Trump boarding Air Force One. Additionally, at a South Lawn ribbon-cutting for a new Marine One helipad, helicopter noise swallowed his remarks on the White House livestream. ... But one conservative network, Real America's Voice, a partner of Just the News, is stepping into the void to create competition and a backup plan. The White House listed RAV as secondary TV crew for the New York trip to the United Nations General Assembly gathering and on Wednesday, RAV said it would offer its pool camera as a free, unbranded feed to any outlet. "When the traditional television pool chose to stand down, somebody still had to show up, turn the cameras on, and make sure the American public had access to the President," Parker Sigg, RAV's vice president, told Just the News. "RAV was ready to do exactly that. We have the crews, the infrastructure, and the ability to distribute this coverage far beyond our own network.

It's about who has access to offices that allow for easier relationship building between media figures and government officials.
The media really doesn't want to lose that, and they REALLY don't want themselves replaced by, say, Breitbart who can get off the record interviews with WH officials more easily.

The legacy media is moribund. It grasps at the semblance of what it once was and convinces itself that it still has the same power.
All while crying about the fact it doesn't have the power it once had.
They are great at doublethink.

There's nothing more important to the press than themselves.
They really believe that they embody the First Amendment. They don't.
But give them a chance to grasp their pearls and proclaim outrage at the way they are being disrespected, and that's all they'll talk about.

That allowed an insane, new legal standard for conspiracy, over the old requirement that required an overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy.
That is, an actual act or verbal agreement to undertake the conspiracy.
No more:
His new, improved--just for J6--standard was, "well, it can be a wink. Or a nod. Or neither if you want to imply it from the context. Whatever--just convict him."
So yeah, the left can fuck right off with the "Trump appointed" judge bullshit.

Perhaps. Trump does have an unerring instinct for hijacking the news cycle and getting what he wants the discussion to revolve around taking place. The more the press talks about this tempest in a teapot is the less they shout about their other priorities.

The dominant strain of the Trump 2.0 legal efforts is at establishing precedent. Every major move hasn't been first about winning the particular issue, but on working through the system to create precedent on a larger scale.
It was the point of the firing of federal employees, of every immigration move, and of things like tariffs.
His admin is very forward looking, not looking for quick wins but establishing precedent that should outlast this presidency.
It doesn't always work, but it is the overarching philosophy.

A guy who is at the end of his career and don't give a shit about pissing off the judge, mocking his threat of sanctions.
Like how Trump used to brag about Bolton, "this guy is a madman, I'd just bring him to meetings and have him stand there, scare the shit of them."
Have the guy deliberately walk in just late enough that the judge can't rule.
Refuse to apologize for being late, just say, "Oh, you started without me?"
And interrupt the judge, talk over him, goad and mock him, "Oooh, look at the judge talking like he's important."
Yell back at the judge.
That kind of shit.
Because Trump doesn't know how sacred these assholes hold their phony-ass decorum and respect rules.
And how they're using that against him.
And they don't have a good way to deal with someone who doesn't fear a judge yelling at them or sanctions.
And this will destroy the very process they are using to illegally block Trump.

United employees forced a 25 year old woman to return to her seat next to a man who was masturbating because the flight was full.

If I had a dollar for every time I masturbated because my flight was full, I'd be able to afford my own G-IV, complete with busty nymphomaniac flight attendants with a fetish for pudgy middle aged men.

Best I can do:
Them.us: Long COVID Is More Common in Bisexual and Trans People. The Reasons Why Are Complicated Activists are calling for more research and government support to address troubling health disparities.
Compared to 5% of cisgender men and 9% of cisgender women, 15% of trans adults say they are currently experiencing long COVID symptoms. Meanwhile, 12% of bisexual adults in the U.S. are living with post-COVID conditions, compared to 7% of straight, gay, and lesbian adults.
“Of course trans people have higher rates of long COVID,” says JD Davids, co-founder of The Network for Long COVID Justice group. “We have lower rates of being treated as humans."
Long COVID’s effects can be arduous. Whitehead, who once enjoyed playing soccer with friends, is now physically disabled and uses a mobility scooter.
Jessica Olson, a 45-year old bisexual living with type 1 diabetes and long COVID, feels the government has not put up enough money to care for people with the chronic illness. “The government needs to be spending 1000 times as much as it is to provide care for people with long COVID."

All is well.
The only thing that should happen today is the court formally declares the charges and the lawyer enters her plea. Not sure that anything else will happen.
The good thing is after that, the lawyer can now attempt negotiations with the AG and see if they can get a deal to end this.

Obviously that's bad, but I'm wondering what actual alternatives there were. I suppose you could make an announcement, "This pervert's masturbating on the plane, are there any jacked bros who are willing to sit next to this asshole and make him behave?"
But then what happens if the jacked bro breaks his little pecker off? You're liable, right?
Or what happens if nobody volunteers to sit next to the pervert?

The pro-trans article put it more delicately and positively.
Another reason queer, trans, and bisexual adults might be overrepresented among people with long COVID is that they’re more likely to recognize what long COVID is in the first place. That’s because queer people are used to responding to health emergencies like the HIV/AIDS epidemic, which created a network of advocates who used their experience responding to that crisis in the wake of COVID-19, including by disseminating knowledge about acute and chronic COVID infection.

It seems to me that classical liberalism's changes over the last century are because the philosophy actually has no limiting principles. It's atomizing to the individual while rejecting anything like organizing structures which then makes it a requirement to open up any cultural space to those who wish to destroy it.
So, it's an ideology built to self destruct because no, you can't tell the communist that he's not allowed in America because that's his atomized right to be wrong. And no, you can't bar the communist from government because that his atomized right to seek office in America. And no, we can't use the power of government to stop the communist from rounding us up in boxcars because that's in violation of our principles of not telling other people what to do.

There is one person on the aircraft who can make the request no longer a request. Then again, unless a passenger's behavior is a safety-of-flight issue, most captains are content to not care and let the cabin crew handle it.

Once you become utilitarian, this is true, because utilitarian has no solid basis other than "what is best" which can be finessed into statism and then to deep state while mouthing open markets and laissez faire, since there is no basis.
originally classical liberals where like Andrew Jackson or George Whitfield. Then they became like Jeremy Bentham and William Jennings Bryan and started agitating for central banks, the administrative state, transnationalim, fiat currencies and wars. Since those things were "more efficient"

I have reviewed the First Amendment yet again and I fail to see the part that says "people from legacy media outlets are allowed to go wherever they want in order to lie for partisan purposes." I might see the point if Trump, you know, abridged their right to scribble their lies and distribute them to the masses (which they did for the day they were "banned.")
Further, a touch of irony here - Judge Kelly (who daily conducts public government business) almost certainly puts strict limits on whether and which Press outlets can collect news in his Courtroom.

The Morning Rant
Remember when everyone wrote woke’s eulogy? “It’s a vibe shift,” they said. “Woke 1.0 was craaaazy,” AOC said, laughing off teens getting destroyed for smirking. For a brief minute it looked like the normies had wrested control of the culture back from the crazies. I regret to inform you, we did not. If you thought Woke 1.0 was crazy, Woke 2.0 is psychotic.
I think we ARE wresting control back from the crazies, but they aren't going to give up without a fight, because they are part and parcel of the left, and they never, ever give up. Their quiet work in the schools was exposed during the Covid debacle, when parents across the country finally got a glimpse of what was really being taught to their kids. And the wannabe Mengeles in our medical establishment became a little too vocal about what they were doing to our children, and what they wanted to do, and they got caught! U.S. Supreme Court Justice Louis D. Brandeis said, "Sunlight is the best disinfectant," And continuing to expose these anti-American, anti-freedom, anti-Western-culture fiends is vitally important. The worst thing that can happen is if they shut up and continue their work to dismantle our culture, destroy our families, and usher in the supposed nirvana of the progressives.

The latter is a theory that young men are being murdered by drowning and the killer is leaving a smiley face symbol in the area as a vague notice he/they did it.
It is almost certainly wrong - unfortunately young men, specifically drunk ones, sometimes drown if their path home takes them by water and smiley faces are everywhere as stickers, carvings into trees, etc (just look for it the next time you are out and about)

A mental experiment:
There is a significant segment of the population that is too low-IQ to have any marketable value. Society still has no plan on what to do with that growing contingent.
Much of the enshittification of companies has been due to cutting costs (effectively enslaving third parties) as regulations and taxes rise. DEI hiring has also added to the incompetence and the costs of incompetence into a business' margin.
The cuts to regulation have been meager, enslavement has reached its greatest point so that cutting the incompetent (DEI) from the ranks is one of the options between further enshittification or profitability.
• what happens when the DEI is on the streets and unmarketable joining the retards as a social question mark?
• what happens when the Demonic Party comes to power and dumps on whole new economy destroying regulations and taxes?

15h
Overheard at my local liberal-elite Massachusetts coffee shop:
A dad and grandfather were staging what sounded like a full-blown intervention for a teenage boy who had apparently told another kid, "Trump isn't that bad"
They spent what felt like half an hour explaining their concerns before finally asking:
"Do you have anything to say for yourself, young man?"
The kid shrugged.
"I didn't say I loved him. I just meant he isn't Hitler."
Dad seemed willing to accept that. Grandpa was not.
"Before you leave this coffee shop, you need to decide which side of history you want to be on."
The kid looked him dead in the eyes and said:
"The not gay side."
Dad and Grandpa looked like they were facing the headlights of a train but the gay barista nearly snorted coffee through his nose laughing."

These commie cocksuckers are NOT mentally ill. Calling them mental actually excuses much of their behavior, mitigates their actions against the retribution that they most sorely need.
They are actively evil. Not possessed by demons evil either, they know the difference between right and wrong perfectly well, and they have freely chosen evil. True evil requires the decisions and actions of a human being. Stan and his minions are just not that strong, which is why they have such a hard on for humans. Stan KNOWS that he's a pathetic piece of shit, and he's jealous of the strength of the human spirit, a glorious gift from The Creator. The most that Stan can do is whisper in one's ear, and reinforce the evil that some men embrace.

It would be nice to get huge breed wins, but here in TX-OK the numbers just aren't there. The other problem is that while The Big Dummy is a handsome boy, he's phlegmatic and only gives what's asked of him. Lacey and Delilah had charisma to burn.

This remarkable picture is a meditation on death and resurrection. Christ’s dead body is displayed on a broken throne inscribed in pseudo-Hebrew. A bird, a symbol of the soul, flies upward. The landscape—contrastingly barren and lush—alludes to the themes of death and life, as do the animals. The Old Testament prophet Job sits on a block inscribed in pseudo-Hebrew while opposite is Saint Jerome (ca. 347–420), who wrote a commentary on the book of Job. The turbaned figures in the background would have been familiar to Venetians through their trade with the Middle East and Egypt.

32 The interwebz say that's Job on the left and Saint Jerome on the right, who evidently wrote a commentary on the Book of Job.
Posted by: Quarter Twenty at September 24, 2026 09:42 AM (2Ez/1)
If that were the case, then Job would be the one with no clothing. But Jerome was always depicted with a quill and a book, to show he was a writer, and I don’t see that here.

Craig had recently graduated from Wylie High School, where he was a two-year varsity football player. The defensive end recorded 50 tackles, four sacks, six QB pressures and six tackles for loss during his senior season, earning Second Team All-District honors.
Just weeks after graduation, Craig enlisted in the Marine Corps. He was 47 days into recruit training when he suffered the medical emergency on August 1. He was hospitalized and died four days later on August 5. The Marine Corps posthumously awarded him the title of Marine.
His family is now honoring his memory by establishing an educational endowment through the Wylie ISD Education Foundation, hoping Aiden’s name and legacy will continue helping students in his community.
Thoughts and Prayers to Craig's family. Rest in peace.
Vaya con Dios, Marine.
We'll take it from here.

The linked article identifies the Second Battle of El Alamein as the turning point which is only partially true. Before the battle, the Nazis were advancing on all fronts. In addition to the battle, October 23—November 11, 1942, the Americans landed behind the Nazis in North Africa on November 8 - 16, 1942, and the Russians completed their encirclement of the Nazis at Stalingrad on November 19, 1942. So the month between October 23 and November 19 clearly put the Germans on the defensive all across the various fronts.

It's a great story, but Kubrick muffled it with poor casting. King himself said, "I handed Kubrick a live hand grenade, and he heroically threw his body on top of it."
There's a TV miniseries version from 1997 with Rebecca DeMornay which is much closer to the novel.

The Morning Report — 9/ 24 /26
Once again the highest court in the land strikes. No not the Supreme Court of the United States but the Ultra Super Duper Supremely Superior Court of Mount Kilauea has decreed its status as the Almighty arbiter of what is the Law of the Land.
A federal judge ordered US President Donald Trump on Thursday to restore White House access for journalists from CNN, MS NOW and Politico, saying his ban on the three media outlets was likely unconstitutional. In a major setback for Trump in one of his biggest battles with the media, US District Judge Tim Kelly issued his order in a lawsuit that the news organizations filed contesting the ban that the Republican president announced on Sept. 18. Kelly ordered the Trump administration to immediately return the outlets’ press passes and blocked officials from enforcing the ban for 14 days.Judge Buch M. Danno shall not be disobeyed!
“The President concluded that [the banned outlets] have failed to maintain basic minimum ‘standards of professionalism and decorum expected of those given access to the White House Complex, including’ by ‘publishing sensitive or classified information… In response, the President has preliminarily revoked their continued access to White House grounds… After all, access to the White House is a privilege—not a right.” – DOJ filingYeah, that'll really show 'em! To borrow a quote from Democrat Socialist Numero Uno Joe Stalin How many divisions does the Judiciary have?! If only President Trump and indeed all of us took that to heart and made it our slogan. Especially in an instance such as this which is making my blood simmer...
A Florida history teacher allegedly tried to “cancel” an eighth-grader enrolled at one of the state’s elite schools for his conservative beliefs – and now she’s facing calls to be fired. Liz Ballard, a teacher at Pine View School in Osprey, Fla., is accused of singling out the boy as the “conservative perspective” in her classes before describing him as a “misogynist” and spreading the slur around the school, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier said in a letter on Monday. Ballard allegedly “harassed, disparaged and deliberately tried to ‘cancel’ an eighth-grade student for his conservative views” during her debates — even though he had previously warned her “his parents expressly forbid him to take part,” according to Uthmeier’s letter. She “singled out this student and in defiance of his parents’ express instructions, pressured him to defend political positions… in front of his classmates,” the pol said, engaging in what he described as the “reputational destruction of a child.” Ballard has been the subject of “multiple” HR investigations and at the center of parents’ complaints, according to Uthmeier, who has called for her to be dismissed if the claims are legitimate. The investigation into the teacher has spanned several months, Jason Means, the President of the Sarasota Classified Teachers Association, said, according to WFLA. . . In 2023, the school was named a National Blue Ribbon School by the Department of Education — an award that recognizes excellence or schools that close achievement gaps among students.Blue RIbbon? Meh this degenerate slag and everyone like her deserves a noose and the nearest lamp post rhetorically speaking of course wink-wink... And that goes most especially for Randy Weingarten and the evil unions.
So, what are these unions doing with all that money they collect if not fighting to fulfill their stated missions? Turns out, they are far more interested in getting Democrats elected and pushing far-left causes. Add it all up, and you have organizations that extort money from taxpayers to finance a protection racket for themselves, their Democratic patrons, and various far-left causes (which few taxpayers would support), while engaging in fraud by pretending to be looking out for the interests of public-school students We’re not lawyers, but we’d say that classifies as a criminal racket under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act.I know I had this a day or so ago but evil like cancer never rests. We cut it out or we die. Elsewhere the red carpet was rolled out for Xi Jinping and the Chi-Coms.
Trump, on the other hand, has cost China dearly. He has radically reduced China’s inroads into the Western Hemisphere, ousting its agents from Venezuela and the Panama Canal.Well, with a different perspective . . .
With the Cuban dictatorship apparently unable to keep the lights on, and China now permanently shut out of Greenland, Beijing’s losses in the Americas appear certain to keep piling up.
Add to this Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s “Economic D-Day” sanctions on Iran.
These are disrupting China’s financial ties with the Islamist regime, even as Iran’s attacks on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and its threat of tolls hammer Beijing’s energy imports: China already pays $25 a barrel more for oil than the rest of the world. China’s leader also has major headaches back home — anemic consumer spending, a collapsing real-estate market, rising unemployment levels, an aging population and a national debt three times larger than our own (thanks, in part, to Trump’s tariffs).
Negotiating with Communists and terrorists (but I repeat myself) only ends one way. As the Xi meeting is being hyped, the People’s Republic of China is taking great care not to offend the United States of America by taking any drastic steps like… openly stealing our military hardware. Chinese authorities are reportedly in possession of F-35 stealth fighter parts after components of the aircraft were “inexplicably diverted to Hong Kong.” Shipping giant UPS was sending a cockpit canopy and weapons bay door to the U.S. from Australia in late May when it was diverted, Bloomberg reported on Thursday, citing sources Both parts were coated with a radar absorbing material that enhances their stealth capabilities, the sources said, and it was not clear why the shipment was diverted to Hong Kong. Inexplicably! Were there any Mainland Chinese citizens in the decision loop working at UPS? This is the problem with having normal commercial relations with a bandit state that takes every possible opportunity to rob everyone else. Looping them into a global commercial system just allows them to do things like this.Meh, What can BROWN do for us that our own Postal Service isn't doing, like being the bag man for Democrat Election Thievery...
The case underlines concerns about the handling and security of mail-in ballots, particularly when large numbers of ballots are entrusted to individual postal workers. With investigators still determining whether affected voters were able to cast replacement ballots, the incident could fuel broader scrutiny of election-related mail procedures and ballot safeguards ahead of future elections.On all this repulsiveness I nevertheless bid you all to Have a good day.

Hollywood critics are blasting Bonta as a “traitor” and a “coward” for settling the lawsuit and clearing the way for Paramount to complete its acquisition of Warners.

27 Press access first got rolling at the White House in a big way during World War II, understandably. If I remember history correctly they simply boarded over FDR’s swimming pool and made an impromptu press room.

32 Trying something new today...bacon and tomatillo chili...the internet has no recipes, but I'm thinking a basic bean and tomato chili with the adds (with some bacon added in and some saved for topping and some of the fat used to saute the onions and peppers).
This will have no beef.
Got both super cheap, so figured I'm not losing much, and the kids just love chili almost any way I make it...we'll see if this holds true today.
1lb of bacon with probably 3lbs of beans - still deciding what type, but got gifted expiring pinto beans, so those are also looking to show up - with Great Northern or black is still TBD (I do love bacon on a black bean burger, so I'm leaning that way)...

If the current track holds it will hit Baja California early next week and keep moving northeast into northern Mexico weaker than it is now.
NHC has it dropping from major hurricane status by Tuesday at landfall. So Southern California will probably get some wind and rain, but Polo will likely weaken some more after going across Baja.

49 A federal judge ordered US President Donald Trump on Thursday to restore White House access for journalists from CNN, MS NOW and Politico, saying his ban on the three media outlets was likely unconstitutional. In a major setback for Trump in one of his biggest battles with the media, US District Judge Tim Kelly issued his order in a lawsuit that the news organizations filed contesting the ban that the Republican president announced on Sept. 18. Kelly ordered the Trump administration to immediately return the outlets’ press passes and blocked officials from enforcing the ban for 14 days.
Likely? LIKELY?!?

Just so people understand why the Judge used the word “likely”: that’s the legal standard which allows a judge to grant an injunction, unless overruled by a higher court.
In practice it means that any judge who can construct a semi-plausible argument can do anything he wants.

I'm sure it would be better, but in the great land of feeding 6 with a food budget right now, bacon ($3.99/lb thick cut) and beans (80 cents a can and free) win out over beef, which had no sale this week at any of my 3 shopped stores (and I used enough for the youth dinner I'm not swimming in it in my freezer)...so, we adapt and see if something great can be made sans the beef...

95 Movies! has on a potboiler from 1948, The Amazing Mr. X, with Turhan Bey (he of one of the Universal "Mummy" flicks) and Richard Carlson. I've finally been able to distinguish between Carlson and his lookalike, actor Hugh Marlowe. On screen he is firmer and more authoritative, for one thing.
Marlow played famous detective Ellery Queen on TV in the '50s. I think Carlson would have made a much better EQ. Turns out he started out to be an academic (rather Ellery-like right there), got the acting bug, and not only wrote short stories but also screenplays, and directed a few movies too.Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at September 24, 2026 08:25 AM (wzUl9)

153 The Trump folks should advise this judge that, since they already cancelled the WH pass of these news entities, they have to issue new ones--the old ones won't work.
Process must be followed.
and the estimated time to re-issue the card is 6 months as the printer is broken.
So sorry, working fast as we can here, boss.
F the judge.
F his ruling.
No one voted him king.
Lie right to his face and dare him to do something about it.
Because he knows he can't--these statist dick-suckers value the process as high-holy scripture.

184 Good morning folks –
Finally got a break from my new job and wanted to say hi.
I figure a few folks are interested in my thoughts on the election coming up, so here goes…
First of all, I could be wrong. If I am wrong, then it would be massively wrong, and you should seriously worry about the future of the country because the voters are insane. But I don’t think I am.
Polls – The are wrong this year again. They are so wrong that people who try to be reasonable pundits are now resorting to my -unskew the polls- methods from 2012 (which people still beat me up for). Some of the people doing this include professional pollsters. It is truly amazing to watch. I’m not going to bother trying to make any rational sense of it all, but I think there are 3 problems that are making every poll (and I mean every one of them, including people trying to get it right) wrong.

191 1) Trump negatives – Most of the pollsters are emotionally tied to showing Trump as unpopular, and their samples are starting from the point of getting a -Trump 34%- result. This is polluting their results.
2) White Urban Liberal over representation – The white vote in samples is heavily biased toward the urban vote.
3) Working Class/Rural under representation – The pollsters are not getting enough from this demographic that lean hard toward the GOP. In some cases they can’t even adjust because they are getting NO sample.
So given that the polls are trash, what can we look at?
1) Registration – Since 2024, which was a good year for the GOP, their registration advantage has continued to grow, especially in important states like North Carolina.
2) Redistricting – The GOP won this battle and effectively moved swing districts from states with low election integrity (CA) to states with high integrity (TX and FL).
3) Money – The GOP has a lot more money and is spending it. That money comes from people who believe the GOP is going to win. The GOP is on track to outspend the Dems by about $1B.Posted by: Dave_in_Fla at September 24, 2026 08:55 AM (7lYvC)

195 4) Candidates – Dems are running people who are bad fits for normal voters. A guy who thinks God is non-binary and has a favorite drag queen running against a guy who has won multiple statewide races in Texas, for example.
5) Message – The Dems are running on who can impeach Trump the fastest. That isn’t an exaggeration. I heard the debate for the NH-1 Dem primary, and that was the platform of both candidates. Meanwhile the GOP is running on a massively long list of campaign promises that Trump has kept.
Here is my gut feel on what will happen. I’m not alone here, David Marcus, a reporter who is on the ground talking to voters is pretty much on the same page I am.Posted by: Dave_in_Fla at September 24, 2026 08:55 AM (7lYvC)

OH – Easy win against Brown
IA – Easy win for Hinton
AK – I was unsure on this 3 days ago, but after the oppo dump yesterday I think Sullivan wins. The RCV there is always such a wildcard.
NC – Close but people really underestimate Whatley, I think he wins by 2 or 3.
GA – I just am not sure. Fundamentals favor Collins and Bottoms is going to be a huge drain for the Dems. But a couple people I know in GA are critical of the Collins strategy. Toss up in my mind right now.
TX – Easy Paxton win. Talerico is a terrible candidate for that state. They would have had a better chance with Crockett.

Due process only applies to life, liberty and property.
Which of those interests is there in "access to the press poll at the White House?"
He's saying the media has a property interest in reporting the news--from the White House specifically.
Do you understand how radical this is?
He's saying, like how you own your house, the media "owns" a right to be in the Press Room.
Not you, not the President, not the public, not the government--the media!
They own it and it can't be taken away without due process.
This asshole just created a whole class of nobility above the people, the Constitution and the government--granting them a property right found no where in common law or the Constitution.

203 In the house, the election comes down to about 25 swing districts where the GOP already is in 22 of the seats. GOP is starting from a 203-201 base. A lot of money will be spent in these districts directly, which the Dems can’t match because they are on defense in the Senate and wasting millions in Texas. These districts are also ones that have a higher level of election integrity, so Dem cheating is limited. I think the GOP ends up taking 17 of the 25 (basically holding 17 of the 22 they currently hold) and end up at 220. Note that I also think that our best outcome for 2028 is the Dems taking a 2 or 3 seat edge in the House.
Anyway my thoughts, YMMV.Posted by: Dave_in_Fla at September 24, 2026 08:57 AM (7lYvC)

Nice to see you back, Dave! This point is what i suspect is making Texas polling so bad - pollsters concentrate on the 4 highest population counties, which are all Leftist strongholds.
But Texas has 254 counties, so that leaves 250 that aren’t a part of the polling results at all.

I'm with the lovely and talented Had on this one - but it's based on Teh Feelz, and not any analysis. A good friend of mine (and fellow Moron) heard from his sister and BiL who came back from AK that Sullivan is toast, but he didn't say anything about the oppo dump on the opponent, so that probably didn't factor in the prediction.
It really ticks me off that the media is downplaying the gains on the economy. Bloomberg, for instance, after saying for weeks before the Fed raise that Warsh needed to hike for 'credibility' purposes, now says that they're not sure that hikes will do anything. Meanwhile they still want hikes in the midst of what they say is a very strong economy. They won't say out loud that they want to sabotage Trump, but of course they want to do that. I'm glad that Rs are playing it up.
I am, of course, running in deep blue CT, so I have to be careful about broadcasting my Trumpism. Not going to deny him, but don't want to wave a red cape in front of a Dem bull. They seem to think the Rep seat is in the bag for now.Posted by: Darrell Harris at September 24, 2026 09:20 AM (0CU3H)

They can't deny it, but they are very upset.
Tech News
- VSCode's SSH agent is bananas. (Fly)
Oh, that's from last year. Maybe it's been fixed.
Nope.
The thread at Hacker News is a mix of idiots proclaiming their undying love for the regurgitated dog's breakfast that is VSCode and its SSH agent and despairing sysadmins and people with half a clue generally noting that not only will VSCode fork bomb the remote server, it allows the remote server to do the same to the client.
And it gets worse from there.
- Got Nethack Hack ported to my 1980s 10-bit home computer. It didn't fit, though. The binary was 170k on a VAX - I found an original Usenet post reporting that - but compiled to 280k on my microcomputer architecture, and the emulator only gives it 256k. The VAX wasn't particularly fast which is why it was later eclipsed by RISC architectures, but the code was concise.
So I tried reinventing the UCSD p-System to see if that could solve the problem and it shrank the binary to just under 100k. So now I'm building a Pascal compiler written in Pascal that runs in the emulator and produces virtual instructions that are interpreted by a runtime on the emulated processor.
I did say I was going to give Claude Opus 5.5 a try, and this is what I'm doing with it.

"Big Love" I only discovered recently from hearing on my local '80s oldies station.

24 A little less humidity starting today, says the Fox outlet weather maven. I stuck my hand outside the door and drew it back feeling as if I'd dipped it in warm slime, so maybe that "little less" is not here yet. Or their idea of "a little less" is a drop from 80% humidity to 78%.
Still, I need to work out. Maybe just a slow mile today.

It takes the strength of a Hulk or a Mr. Incredible -- and you're right, they don't roll up.
Not to mention the brands we grew up with like Pepsodent and Colgate are $4-5 even at Walmart. I buy the Aim brand which is still $1.00. Dollar Tree used to carry some brands not made in China, but they're $1.25 now for a smaller tube than the Aim.Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at September 24, 2026 06:08 AM (wzUl9)
28 After watching the latest video from ElectroBoom on YouTube about him trying to fix his pressure washer, the end of the video had an unrelated section where he talked about getting that spray filler foam all over his hands and it wasn't coming off, even when trying to use acetone.
So that got me wondering if anyone had ever used that sticky nasty filler foam to vandalize flock cameras.
One quick search later... Yep. Apparently so.

30 I had such a nice time getting my hair cut the other day. I didn't get to see my regular stylist ( whom I really appreciate, and is a dear, and whom I have gone to for over 25 years) because it takes a while to get an appointment and it needed to be cut NOW. The woman at one of those cheaper places told me her mother liked old movies and so she named her after Scarlett O'Hara. We had a great talk about wonderful old movies.Posted by: FenelonSpoke at September 24, 2026 06:12 AM (Aqpmr)
31 Speaking of Walmart, I drove out to an exurban one just for fun. That parish's non-food sales tax is now 10%!!! It's 5% for food, yes, but a lot of what I buy is non-food like toilet paper, cat food, shampoo, etc. And here I thought the 9.78% near me was bad.

34 @31/Wolfus: You're going to see a lot more of that (taxes going up.) Governments everywhere are already so far in debt that if they were private entities, they'd have already been forced into chapter 13 bankruptcy and liquidated. The fact that they're not says a lot about how lawless they really are.
So, while they continue to operate while they're functionally insolvent, they will show signs of desperation for revenue, and increased taxes, fees, and fines are some of those signs.Posted by: Grumpy and Recalcitrant, a Moron behind enemy lines. at September 24, 2026 06:19 AM (O7YUW)

39 Consequently they no longer have the revenue coming in to support all these antique or legacy government entities or programs. So to compensate they have to be very aggressive on stupid things like garbage cans. Hotel taxes and and speed traps will only go so far. It would seem to setup a very antagonistic relationship between the taxpayers.

45 You've got to grab the new toothpastes and flatten them out, squeezing all the remaining toothpaste to the top.
Then, after you've worked your way up to the very top squeeze really hard with your fingers right in the center of the tube below the top part and then push your fingers upwards towards the tube opening and the last bit will come out.
I've been working on my current toothpaste tube for about a week like this trying to get the last bit.Posted by: SpeakingOf at September 24, 2026 06:46 AM (6ydKt)

*** ONT Department Record heatwaves in France set to make champagne strongerChampagne lovers may find themselves getting tipsy more quickly after French producers have been given the go-ahead to raise the alcohol content in a bottle of bubbly for the first time following this summer's record heatwave. Winemakers can temporarily produce champagne with an alcohol content of up to 15% - above the 13% cap, industry officials have said. The extreme heat and drought produced grapes with exceptionally higher sugar levels. Yeast converts sugar into alcohol during fermentation. The temporary increase in champagne's alcohol content is only expected to affect a small number of wines, a spokeswoman for the Comite Champagne told the BBC. During the second fermentation process, which gives champagne its bubbles, "a very small number of wines from this harvest could have slightly exceeded the regulatory limit of 13%, reaching around 13.1% or 13.2%." "Therefore a decision was made to exceptionally and temporarily increase the regulatory limit to 15% - only for this year," she said.
I shouldn't be surprised but I did not know that French regulations set the max for Champagne. That being the case, I'm also surprised at the decision. Only a small number that might possibly go over by a tenth or two, so let's raise the limit by two percent. If you're going over, might as well go big!

38 The Southland gas station picture: The car on the right is a '57 Chevy, but the one on the road looks more like a pre-1965 Ford. So no earlier than late '56 and probably not later than '70, though gas prices like those were still around in the very early '70s.

Rethinking that: If the car on the left is a '63 or '64 Ford, as I think it is, this pic must be from no earlier than late 1962, when the first '63s hit showrooms. So, between August, say, of '62 and late '73. The first oil crisis erupted in early '74 and prices such as .29/gallon were a memory.Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at September 23, 2026 10:14 PM (wzUl9)

54 California’s oldest continuously family-owned winery announces Chapter 11 bankruptcy after 168-year run
By Erica Andrews
Published Sep. 23, 2026, 4:40 p.m. PT
California’s oldest continuously family-owned winery has survived earthquakes, Prohibition, wildfires and a pandemic — but a crushing pile of debt has finally forced the 168-year-old Sonoma institution into bankruptcy court.
Gundlach Bundschu Winery announced that it has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection as the sixth-generation family behind the historic estate scrambles to restructure its finances and potentially bring in a new investor.

Looks like the photo was posted to a Facebook account that has since been terminated.
The description at the link I found is:
"Paul Warmack and his Gully Jumpers Robertson County VICTOR 40009
Nashville, TN Wednesday, October 3, 1928 Charles Arrington, f; Paul Warmack, md; Roy Hardison, bj; Bert Hutcherson, g."
But trying to follow the link gets the terminated notice.
Looks like the account was for some oldie band that posted the photo.
And Google AI says:
"This vintage photograph shows a classic mid-20th-century Southland Oil Co. gas station located in Dickson County, Tennessee, which was torn down in the early 1970s."
But then it says:
Location: Dickson County, Tennessee
Brand: Southland Gasoline and Motor Oil
Era: Mid-1950s (featuring classic vintage gas pumps and a teal/white mid-50s car)

Based on gas hanging around 28 cents a gallon between 1952 and 1960. The car looks like a mid to late 50's . And Southland Oil Corporation started up in Savanna, GA. They served the southeast, but took a turn rather quickly to a differen focus other than service stations which started around 1952.

109 Assuming that gas price is mid 60s, say 1965.
Median hh income in 1965 was $6900.
Today median hh income is $87K.
1965’s 30 cents is the equivalent of $3.79 relative using the same ratio of income to a gallon of gas. Which is not far from what a lot of the country is paying for gas right now.

128 Champagne region, like many part of France, is regulated.
Unlike Germany, potty times are not posted in public spaces.
Watering is not allowed. Grapes are picked by maidens, pure of heart, but available by the hour after picking completed.
Co-ops, small family concerns and megacorp all will take your money. Just remember,
Tiny bubbles, in the wine, make me happy, make me feel fine.
P.S. for Trekkies, there is a Picard champagne. Collard-Picard and Jacques Picard. Sadly, my time machine is broken so not sure which is related to Jean-Luc. Collard-Picard is a small family business with wonderful champagne and great tour and lunch if you are ever in the area.

Still took an hour before they let me in. And I was the *only* person in the waiting area! At 4 a.m. on a weekday. Was unable to give urine sample, because the problem actually was a freaking kidney stone, blocking me.
Was 10 a.m. before they offered anything for pain, and 10:30 when they MRI'd me. (and puking again from the pain med)Posted by: JQ at September 23, 2026 11:06 PM (rdVOm)

197 From a friend just now:
"The Finnish term for spending the day drinking at home in your underwear with no intention of going out is kalsarikännit, which translates roughly to "pantsdrunk".
What is Kalsarikännit?

The Vibe: It is treated as a cozy, deliberate form of self-care and relaxation rather than a wild party.

No, just went to Gurgle Maps, found my local town, and kept increasing the resolution until I found my house on the sat pic. Click on that, and it spews out lat and long. The google plus code is basically just lat and long, encrypted. PITA. Alberta has a perfectly cromulent rural address system based on grid road numbers and distance from the intersection.

202 Rethinking that: If the car on the left is a '63 or '64 Ford, as I think it is, this pic must be from no earlier than late 1962, when the first '63s hit showrooms. So, between August, say, of '62 and late '73. The first oil crisis erupted in early '74 and prices such as .29/gallon were a memory.

It's a 63.
60s had fin and the 61s had little residual fins. 62s had the rear bumper curved underneath the round taillights, and the taillights on the 64 were much larger, with the backup light in the center.Posted by: buddhaha at September 24, 2026 12:38 AM (BTtRr)

This thing is less than a million years ago, and is already the size of Jupiter. And the planet formation models (these are very complex things indeed) are out the window. This thing is much bigger too early for the current models.

That baby star will become a K5 star when it settles on the main sequence, at about 0.8 solar masses.
Only 30 years ago, we had no proof of exoplanets, that is, if there were planets around other stars. Couldn't see them. And then the tech improved and we started seeing them. There's about 6000 known exoplanets now. When Nancy Grace is through, that number should rise to well over 100K.
That sample of 6000 is very piss poor, not representative. It's only the ones we can see with the current detection methods. Nancy Grace should change that and we should get a better sample.
The question is how typical is our solar system and the planets therein. Are we just run of the mill, or are we some kind of outlier. It seems we should have some "super earth" type planets, which we don't, and that's sort of an ongoing mystery.Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at September 24, 2026 01:27 AM (w6EFb)

That would be something to see. A planet of a few earth masses just crashing into the sun.
As wild as it sounds, there are some anomalies with the Sun, little oddities in all the various details about it's composition and structure. Well, anomalies against some rather complex models of stellar structure and behavior, of course. Sample of one problem again. However, those models do work really well for what can be observed about all the other stars we can see.
At any rate, that super-earth crashing into the Sun seems to nicely account for those anomalies.

You don't have anything to worry about on the hundreds of million year time scales. Probably.
The stability of the solar system is one of the big theoretical topics. The solar system is chaotic and has a chaotic time scale somewhere on the order of few million years. They call that the Lyapunov time or something like that.
All you can do is look at probabilties of bad things hapenning. I think there is some small, but non-zero chance of one of the inner planets being ejected or colliding with another one or the Sun on some billion year time scale, before it becomes a red giant.

I thought I remembered something. Back in 2023, there was some big paper on years of research on the Solar System Stability question.
Some crazy complex math of the chaos that involved an abstract 18 dimensional space (which sort of modelled points of the all the various configurations).
The orbits of the inner planets are chaotic on a say 10 million year timescale. Yet, they've persisted for billions. They showed that short-time scale chaos is just confined to the positions of the inner planets along their orbits. The shape of the orbits themselves are much more stable. But still, they go wonky over several billion year timescales.Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at September 24, 2026 02:40 AM (w6EFb)

Newton himself wondered about this stability. This was centuries before modern chaos, but he noticed the N-body problem was a bit difficult to say the least, and he couldn't guarantee things wouldn't go awry. But he reasoned that God would just step in and fix it.
Leibniz used this to attack Newton, saying he must be of so little faith to imagine God would create something so unstable that he'd have to fix it from time to time.Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at September 24, 2026 02:54 AM (w6EFb)

306 Looks like hard frost tonight. The weather station predicts 33 degrees, but it smells like frost out there. Southcentral Alaska has a certain scent in the fall and you can tell how far along we are by the changes. It was plenty sweet smelling this afternoon in the sun, but by sundown it was more sour.
Yeah, it's weird. I closed up the greenhouse anyway, and turned on the heater. Once we have hard frost, I have a week to bring in and process the potatoes.Posted by: tcn in AK at September 24, 2026 03:55 AM (O/twJ)

316 Good news on the election cycle, for once. It appears Mary Peltola (D-dirtbag) is being taken out by the powers that be in the Democrat party in Congress. NYT hit piece on her bad behavior came out, detailing how toxic she is to her own staff, how she uses slurs and insults freely, and generally how differently she behaves in public (nice Mary) and not so public.
I cannot imagine the NYT would ever put out a hit piece on a Democrat without Chuckie or Nancy blessing it first.
I wonder what she did to piss them off so badly. I know she's a liar and she cheats with campaign cash, but I didn't realize she had become such a liability. It's good news for Alaska and for the Senate.Posted by: tcn in AK at September 24, 2026 04:07 AM (O/twJ)

Diving in a flooded forest in Europe. Wolves welcome a long-lost member back into the pack. The muntjac, or "vampire deer." A dog's Hunger Operating System slowly boots up. Lizard enjoys his emotional comfort ball. Sharing a drink with a monkey-friend. Woman attempts to use a cat as a bug zapper. Experiment failed, alas. Uber for a stray dog. The maned wolf of South America is apparently the kind of wildlife that Jack Straw would enjoy.

I’m seriously in favor of any naturalized citizen convicted of a violent crime being denaturalized and deported now.

No, just support the arm until disconnected. The two mounting points are oval cutouts, so use a marker around the fitting- that should get you pretty close if not in spec.

In the true hollow earth theory book (yes, I read the 19th century original) they just draw a line on the shell and call it 'where gravity comes from'. Of course this doesn't work with Newton's law. Spinning the earth fast enough for gravity to work would flip everything on the *outside* off into space, followed by the shell destroying itself.

Don't laugh. That's what a lot of the Flerf logic is. Gravity is static cling. Or it's "density" (heavy objects sink, light objects rise). Of course, when point out you need an actual external force to do that, one that defines which way is "up" vs "down", well.....
And one of them was actually reviving an ancient notion of gravity vs "levity".
The Ancient Greek Homos had that somehow. Ironically, the knew the earth was a sphere, but had this geocentric model. Gravity was "heavy things" wanted to go the center, and "levity", or light things, want to go away from the center.Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at September 23, 2026 09:07 PM (w6EFb)

147 FAMILY DRAMA!
There were a lot of stories today people shared in an earlier thread about inheritances.
I'm having my last beer day today. I was taking a break from caregiving. I've been carrying Ralphy, 44 pounds, up and down so many steps 24-7. For months. I was so tired but I'm back baby.
Doorbell.
My 'brother' Steve.
The stoicism videos I've been watching haven't fully kicked in. I have forgiven him, for me.
But still, I hollered like an AWFL,, 'Get the fuck off my property. I'm calling the police!'
Yeah, after taking care of Mom and Dad for 14 years, never wanting more than 50% and being thanked by not even giving me a year to get a life together.
And my biggest worry. Ralphy. My last care-giving duty.
Not a duty. Honour.
He was by Mom forever.

I think she will find it rather funny.
Being somewhat serious for a moment, the fact of the matter is that all the senses have a role to play. This is lost on Generation Screens, which have only sight and sound. No sense of touch, and even in terms of sound, it's largely overprocessed.
But for those of us who live in the real world, there is a delightful interplay of feel, taste and smell, three senses lost to the online world. There used to be jokes about "Smell-O-Vison" but smell is actually the most powerful of all the senses, which is why perfume/deodorant is such a huge industry.

The feds are cracking down on that thing that never happens.Feds arrest, indict hundreds in Trump voter fraud crackdown: 'Catching it all over the country' The Justice Department says its crackdown on noncitizen voting and election fraud has already produced more than 200 arrests and indictments, with that number possibly doubling soon and state election officials themselves now facing potential charges for looking the other way.
Much more at the link. I shan't believe it. All I know is that America has the most secure elections in history, at least when Democrats win. When they don't win, Jake Tapper writes books titled: Down & Dirty: The Stealing of the Presidency. And I know nothing about Swedish election procedures, but I know it must be the case that this is the Most Secure Election in History because someone from the Global South/Red-Green Alliance won.
Since the Trump Justice Department warned state and local election officials that they could be charged with allowing fraudulent voting activities, more than 200 arrests and indictments have been secured in a crackdown on election fraud and noncitizen voting, and that number could double soon, a top official revealed to Just the News. "I think there are a lot of nervous election officials because I think some of them know that they've been looking the other way when this is happening, and we're catching it all over the country," Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon said Monday night in an interview on the Just the News, No Noise television show. Dhillon also hinted at further developments in the coming weeks, suggesting her department has developed evidence calling into question New Jersey's claim that a computer glitch allowed thousands of foreigners to register to vote in that state and about 400 to actually cast ballots in violation of law. "I'm not sure we have the correct numbers from New Jersey. They're not really cooperating with us, and so we will get to the bottom of what happened there. And you know, New Jersey tried to blame a vendor for a mistake or a glitch, quote unquote. But you know, I think there'll be another side to that story," she said. The software vendor Dhillon referred to is IDEMIA, which told Just the News in July that it was the responsibility of New Jersey officials to verify voter registration. ... Dhillon further stated that in the past several weeks, her office has indicted or convicted 67 individuals for election-related crimes, while the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has made more than 160 arrests. ... Left-wing organizations, including the Brookings Institution, the Brennan Center for Justice, and the American Immigration Council, among others, have all claimed that noncitizen voting is either not happening or is incredibly rare. Recent data suggests otherwise. Over the weekend, DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin told Fox News that his agency is investigating 1,620 cases of voter fraud involving noncitizens and has made 151 arrests. He said his department is also looking into an additional 300,000 cases based on states' voter rolls. "We're scrubbing them. We're comparing them to those that are in the country illegally, those that are legal permanent residents and those that are citizens" Mullin told Fox News contributor and former White House spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany.PeterSweden
Investigators are looking into John Brennan's role in the RussiaGate foreign op against the president.
@PeterSweden7
Swedish election update. There's now the possibility of a NEW ELECTION in the affected area after authorities are investigating possible ELECTION FRAUD. A man from Somalia who got Swedish citizenship 7 months ago was elected to parliament for the Left. It's reported that people were given money and pre filled ballots and were driven to voting location. The constituency of Dalarna could see a rerun of the election take place with around 223,000 eligible voters.
More at that link, too.
With the confirmation that former CIA Director John Brennan received a subpoena to testify in the ongoing "grand conspiracy" weaponization probe based in Florida, prosecutors appear to be zeroing in on how the ex-spy was at the beginning, middle, and aftermath of the Trump-Russia collusion narrative. ... According to the filing, government prosecutor Kurt Olsen told Brennan's counsel the probe is "far-reaching" and includes "issues at Mar-a-Lago and beyond." It is aimed at assessing whether Trump's civil rights were violated. The prosecutor reportedly told Brennan's lawyer he was also the "subject" of a separate investigation for alleged false statements to Congress. ... Brennan's fingerprints were on the opening of the federal probe that became the Crossfire Hurricane investigation into Trump and his campaign. Brennan previously testified to Congress in 2017 that the U.S. Intelligence Community had gathered evidence of contacts between the Trump campaign and the Russian government by July 2016 to initiate an investigation. It was at that point, he told lawmakers, that the CIA set up a special group with both the FBI and the NSA to probe alleged Russian efforts to interfere in the 2016 election. ... What Brennan did not tell congressional investigators at the time was that he was personally made aware of intelligence that same month that then-Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton personally approved a project to gin up a bogus Russia scandal against her GOP opponent, according to Special Counsel John Durham. Durham had probed the handling of the Trump-Russia investigation. Brennan even briefed President Barack Obama and senior administration officials on Clinton's plan, but, not only did Obama's team fail to stop it, it allowed the FBI to push the investigation into the same allegations raised by the campaign, Durham noted. Durham ultimately concluded in his final report that the FBI had no verified intelligence or evidence when it opened the Crossfire Hurricane probe of President Donald Trump's campaign in the summer of 2016. Durham also found the FBI and Justice Department failed to follow their own standards and allowed the probe to persist with a questionable basis under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.

22 The bar is so in debt that the owner is sleeping in her truck and people are accusing her of “pushing people out of spaces” by making masks optional in a town that hasn’t had a covid case in two months.
I'm a lesbian and this is not just a thing in this community. It's a thing in our community at large. The annual Boston Dyke March still requires masking, even though it's held entirely outdoors. I'm really, extremely confused by the masking thing in the queer community. I don't see emphasis being put on other methods of infection control.
It seems to be driven by an effort to be accepting of everyone, but over time it warps to exclude people who don’t have the exact preferred ideology.
"by the time of Last Ditch’s monthly community meeting on September 11, only one of the original founders, Matellian, is still involved. The two others stepped back from the daily operation months before, Matellian says, citing various pressures and health issues. One had enrolled in clown school."

I just freak out at the unknown and it's taken almost a month as the King of Ortho was out of town. I chose him as he's the best. He normally only sees patients up to 50yrs an professional athletes.
We have no idea why my dude was not booted off to a lesser man or sports medicine.
IF he has surgery, based on AI, he would be on crutches for 6wks. We have lots of stairs, which is why I have chosen the basement for him.
It is not a big deal, I just don't deal well with waiting or the unknown.Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at September 23, 2026 07:04 PM (hzuYO)
90 The annual Boston Dyke March still requires masking, even though it's held entirely outdoors. I'm really, extremely confused by the masking thing in the queer community. I don't see emphasis being put on other methods of infection control.
It seems to be driven by an effort to be accepting of everyone, but over time it warps to exclude people who don’t have the exact preferred ideology.

He "should" be limping weirdly or having pain based on the tear and retraction. He's doing neither, which is why I think he will be a case study.
I do hope no surgery and brand new pain for him (he has back pain due to long distance running and arthritis from his parents).
I will be a good nursie for him altho I hated ortho in school. Let's hope it does not come to surgery, and if it does he says it will have to be compelling before he will agree to it.
Maybe there's magic that AI doesn't cover. He'd go for stem cell injections or PRP out of pocket. No problem for those.

For 20 Years, Climate Alarmists Have Been Claiming That "Global Warming" Made Hurricanes More Numerous and More Severe.
For the First Time in Over 100 Years, We've Had a Hurricane-Free Summer.For the first time in more than a century, there has been not one single hurricane by September 21st.
Chris Martz
You'd think the media would be talking about this, because they love stories about weather anomalies, but no, it's mostly just Fox and conservative outlets reporting the story. The climate mongers are of course absolutely silent about this. Michael Schellenberger notes that the leftist "climate scientists" have been torturing the data until it confesses what they want it to say for a long, long time.
@ChrisMartzWX Sep 22 For the first time in 112 years, there have been ZERO Atlantic hurricanes by this point in the calendar year. The last time this happened was in 1914, two years after the R.M.S. Titanic sank. 1914 was the year that my great-grandmother was born. It was also the year World War I broke out, and when the Panama Canal officially opened to traffic. Charlie Chaplin directed his first film, Caught in a Cabaret, that year too. Year-to-date accumulated cyclone energy (ACE), an integrated metric that accounts for tropical cyclone frequency, intensity, and duration, is lowest on record in the satellite era (since 1966) with 6.3 units generated. Overall since 1851, North Atlantic ACE is lowest year-to-date since 1929 (although pre-satellite era data should be taken with a grain of salt). To have a TOP FIVE end-of-year total overall, Atlantic ACE must remain below 18.1 units. To have a TOP FIVE satellite-era end-of-year total, ACE must remain below 34.4 units. The latter is almost certainly doable I think. A top five finish since 1851 is going to be hard to accomplish, but is possible. October will ultimately decide our ranking. Interestingly and perhaps unsurprisingly, of the top ten lowest year-to-date ACE totals, all were either El Niño or ENSO netural.
Know-nothing Democrat propagandist Jake Tapper, as non-expert as a non-expert can be in all matters, has been pushing the climate hoax all his life.
Michael Shellenberger
@shellenberger Climate change makes hurricanes more frequent and intense, they said. But for the first time in 112 years, the Atlantic hasn't produced a single one. On storms, sea level, and droughts, manipulated models can show, under equally valid assumptions, the exact opposite trends. For two decades, scientists have said that human emissions have made hurricanes stronger, seas rise faster, and droughts more severe. "This combined PDI has nearly doubled over the past 30 yr," said the 2005 Nature paper by Kerry Emanuel of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, with PDI being his index of storm power. Warming raised the odds that a storm reached major hurricane strength by "about 8% per decade," said the 2020 paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) by James Kossin of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Climate change made a storm like Hurricane Melissa more frequent "by a factor of about 5," said the Nov. 6, 2025 report by World Weather Attribution (WWA). The seas would rise "0.5 to 1.4 meters above the 1990 level" by 2100, said the 2007 Science paper by Stefan Rahmstorf of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research. The atmosphere's thirst had "made droughts 40% more severe across the globe," the University of Oxford said in June 2025 of a paper in Nature, which the journal retracted on Sept. 2. "It is likely that the global proportion of major (Category 3-5) tropical cyclone occurrence has increased over the last four decades," the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) said in 2021. But in every case, the instruments directly measuring the phenomenon in question (storm strength, tide gauges, and rain gauges) show no trend, or no acceleration, beyond natural variability. Atlantic hurricane counts rose across the 20th century only because ships and satellites found storms that earlier detection methods had missed, and the recorded increases "are consistent with changes in observing practices and not likely a true climate trend," concluded the 2021 Nature Communications paper by Gabriel Vecchi of Princeton and Chris Landsea of the National Hurricane Center. Meanwhile, 2026 is the first year since 1914 that the Atlantic has produced six named storms and no hurricanes. In terms of sea level rise, "There is no evidence for an apparent acceleration in the past 100+ years that is significant either statistically, or in comparison to values associated with global warming," found a 1992 study by Bruce Douglas. That remains the case today. "In both datasets, approximately 95% of the suitable locations show no statistically significant acceleration of the rate of sea level rise," said an August 2025 paper by Hessel Voortman and Rob De Vos, which ran the test at 204 stations in one global network and 39 in another. "Meteorological droughts do not show any substantial changes at the global scale in at least the last 120 years," concluded a 2022 review by Sergio Vicente-Serrano of the Spanish National Research Council, who co-wrote the Oxford paper. "We find no significant acceleration of drought trends across ~99% of quasi-global land area under either PET type," said a September 2026 paper in Communications Earth & Environment by Jiameng Xu, Kaighin McColl of Harvard and seven co-authors, PET being the atmosphere's potential to evaporate water.

37 In a sane world, we'd be 100%, absolutely thrilled to get a break from hurricanes. But there's a little part of me that knows that every little area of calm just gives more cover to the morons in the world (and the oil company liars.)
"Oh, we're supposed to get worse weather??? Well, how come we have fewer storms than ever, brainiac??? You guys keep crying wolf, all part of your liberal agenda."
Hurricanes reduce ocean heat content. In the absence of hurricanes, ocean heat content will rise, causing greater sea level increases. And the additional ocean heat content will accelerate hurricane intensity when they next emerge.
Hurricanes are vital for replenishing underground aquifers and lakes.
The el Nino will indeed be ridiculously strong. Another once in a lifetime event I get to live through!
There's also been a lot of Sahara dust this season. It also slows down the formation of hurricanes.

El Nino strong this year. So, Pacific based storms are plentiful due to goblal climate change.
El Nino strong this year due to climate change and the wind shear is disallowing Atlantic storms to form
Next year when El Nina increases, and Atlantic storms go back to normal they will say exactly the opposite.

It's all absurd, on its face, and always has been. What was the great physicist Feyman's observation: "the greatest scandal in scientific history" (though he didn't experience the The Great Idiocy of 2020).

I found a very interesting cheapie paperback book at a thrift store: It was the first volume of what was intended to be an annual series, titled something like "Wild Earth: A Compendium of the year's most extreme natural phenomenon: 1972 edition," (forget exact wording of title), which turned out to be exactly that: 300 pages detailed all the crazy weather that happened that year, around the world.
And -- it was indeed "wild"! All sorts of crazy-ass shit happened all over the globe. In 1972. And if that had been in the internet era, each and every incident would have been touted as "proof" that "Climate Change" was happening.
And this of course goes on every year, since the beginning of time -- there is ALWAYS crazy weather SOMEWHERE in the world. That's not "change," that's saying the same. Real
Climate change" would be a year of nothing happening, no extremes and no trends.
But then they'd invent a new crisis:

67 But they are predicting that the routine and recurring El Nino weather pattern, now called a "Godzilla-level phenomenon," is just building up in strength to deliver Super-Hurricanes later on in the season.
Climate scientists (real ones) have understood the El Nino and La Nina effects for a long time.
El Nino causes more wind shear in Atlantic basin, which is deadly to the formation of hurricanes because they need calm wind to enable circulation.
In the Pacific the opposite happens and they get less wind shear and more hurricanes. Since this has been an exceptionally large and warmer El Nino this year the Western Pacific has been getting hammered with major hurricane after major hurricane all summer.
The opposite effects occur during La Nina events when the waters in the equatorial Pacific cool down instead of warm up.Posted by: SpeakingOf at September 23, 2026 05:54 PM (6ydKt)

He puts out pie plates on trees and all kinds of other nonsense, and they just plow through there anyway. It's wonderful.Posted by: Orson at September 23, 2026 05:59 PM (dIske)

"The most recent eruption, in January 2022, triggered a tsunami that reached the coasts of Japan and the Americas, along with a volcanic plume that soared 58 km (36 miles) into the mesosphere. It was the largest volcanic eruption since the 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo and the biggest explosion recorded in the atmosphere by modern instrumentation, far surpassing any 20th-century volcanic event or nuclear bomb test.[3] NASA determined that the eruption was "hundreds of times more powerful" than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima.[4] It is believed that the 1883 eruption of Krakatoa is the only eruption in recent centuries that rivaled the atmospheric disturbance it produced.[5] The January 2022 eruption is the largest volcanic eruption in the 21st century.[6]"

So... fewer hurricanes causes more hurricanes? Joseph Heller bows. "That's some catch, that Catch-22."
Hurricanes are vital for replenishing underground aquifers and lakes.

When I was about to go off to college my brother and I were walking the fields to the mall when we saw a thunderstorm coming with lightning so we turned back. It caught up with us walking along a tree line towards a metal shed about 20 foot away. Then a stroke hit a tree branch behind us even closer, setting the branch on fire. We took off to the house across the yard and one stroke hit behind us and one hit the TV antenna of the house and it glowed white. The people in the house let us in until the storm passed a bit later.
So lighting may not hit the same place, but it can get pretty damn close.Posted by: Oldcat at September 23, 2026 06:18 PM (uhVAy)

Absolute bullshit. Complete, and total, bullshit. Ignores everything known about how to install grounding for anything.
Lighting happens because, for the sake of simplicity, a voltage develops in those clouds and the ground. The literally fucking ground.
An arc happens. It goes where it goes. Not always in big enough values to bother with the least resistive path. Its a wave event.

For CONVENTIONAL lightning rods, sure. In the former Yugoslavia (and elsewhere in the Soviet sphere, probably), factories and critical infrastructure were protected by rods tipped with radioactive Cobalt 60, which was supposed to attract lightning due to their ionizing rays or something. I guess they kind of worked, but having exposed chunks of radioactive material everywhere was a problem, especially after governments fell, factories were abandoned, and lightning rods started falling over or getting scavenged for metal...Posted by: Military Moron at September 23, 2026 06:20 PM (UirZC)

The decay emits a Beta two gamma rays. The Betas momentum will strip off electrons from the air, and perhaps the gamma might too. I suppose it might make it a better target than average. The cloud chambers you might have seen in physics class use supersaturated air to form water droplets around these ionized atoms as the beta rips past them, making a visible track at each decay.

262 Military Moron, there was an expression back in the Glorious Days of Soviet Power - "Russians, nuclear energy - children, matches".
As nutty as some of the immediate post-war ideas in the US were for using nuclear power and explosives, the Soviets walked the walk. I recall when the word went out that we might need to help them find remote weather stations scattered around the former USSR (powered by fuels suitable for dirty-bomb applications). And of course the long sad record of Northern Fleet health outcomes.
I remember guys involved in scouting out candidate factories for our defense conversion aid program in the 90s talking about how they wore their dosimeter badges under their shirts. One time they came out of a former light industry factory with their badges maxed out, and they were having fun trying to decide where in the building the "stuff" was.Posted by: rhomboid at September 23, 2026 06:35 PM (U/Byj)

Milei is from a completely different school of economics, and has the benefit of 80 years of failed mainstream economics to both show what to avoid and to give the Argentinians enough desperation to avoid doing what they always have done (Peronism).
Bukele was accused early on with having secret advisors who were chased out of Venezuela by Chavez, and enough desperation to try what had never been done before
Both El Salvador and Argentina are both rich countries, but the governments have stolen that wealth to buy votes and never gave anything back for running the country. They are an example to the rest of the West - it might work since most of South America is rich in resources and labor - and it looks like it might work.Posted by: Kindltot at September 23, 2026 06:45 PM (rbvCR)

Candace Owens and Harvey Weinstein deal? Convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein groveled for “mercy” during his sentencing in a Manhattan courtroom Wednesday, where prosecutors revealed his alleged plot to pay a podcaster $1.75 million to “instill fear” in his victims. The New York Post thinks that podcaster is Candace Owens.
“Prosecutors alleged during the hearing that they had recordings of Weinstein offering a podcaster $1.75 million in a jailhouse phone call to release videos to help his defense by “contaminating the jury pool and reaching the seated jurors before and after the trials.”
“Blumberg did not identify the podcaster, but Candace Owens released a podcast series in 2025 called “Harvey Speaks,” which featured videos of Weinstein at the notorious city lockup. She didn’t return requests for comment Wednesday.”Posted by: whig at September 23, 2026 06:54 PM (E4rtv)

I Voted for This: Trump Administration Set to Remove 760,000 Fraudulent Enrollees in ObamaCare
All medical fraud requires a "patient" whose name can be used to bill the government for fake services rendered.
Cleaning up the rolls of fake enrollees who are easily used as "Straw Patients" will save billions more in addition to the $2.2 billion which will be saved directly by ending these fraudulent accounts. And deporting the illegal aliens signed up for the fraudulent Obamacare accounts will save even more money.Vice President JD Vance and other Trump administration officials said Tuesday they plan to remove 760,000 Affordable Care Act enrollees from public healthcare exchanges, alleging that the individuals were fraudulently enrolled in the program, or simply do not exist. Vance said the discovery and canceled subsidy payments for hundreds of thousands of people from the exchanges, part of an administration-wide crackdown on fraud, would result in $2.2 billion in cost savings. "We're actually making sure that the people receiving Obamacare subsidies are actually entitled to receive them," said Vance, who leads a government task force to eliminate fraud. He was flanked by Dr. Mehmet Oz, the administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS, and other administration officials. Vance said the cancellation of approximately 315,000 enrollments covering 760,000 people was done in part because the government was not checking whether people enrolled were eligible. Vance said another 419,000 enrollments will get additional verification to make sure they are eligible for the benefit. The Trump administration also announced a six-month suspension on new agents or brokers who sign up enrollees for healthcare coverage, who officials say commit a disproportionate amount of the fraud they uncovered. ... Premiums doubled or tripled for many enrollees, prompting millions to downgrade their plans or exit the program entirely after the Republican-led Congress allowed the subsidies to expire this year. The Government Accountability Office suggests fraud risks in the advance premium tax credit do exist - however it's unclear at what scale. The GAO conducted covert testing using fictitious ACA applicants enrolled in 2024 and 2025. A report released in December showed that the federal marketplace approved subsidized coverage for almost all of the GAO's 24 fake enrollees.
Democrats immediately demanded Trump reinstate the fraudulent accounts -- proving that they're all about the fraud as a means of paying off their (often illegal) voters and then later receiving kickbacks from them.
From fraudulent enrollees, who are illegal aliens, who you claim aren't eligible for Obamacare and aren't on it.
Democratic lawmakers criticized the move to remove enrollees from ACA coverage. Richard E. Neal, a Massachusetts Democrat and ranking member of the Ways and Means Committee, said "Republicans have already created the worst healthcare crisis ever, but every decision by the Trump Administration is designed to keep making it worse." "As if making coverage harder to access through skyrocketing premiums and more red tape wasn't painful enough, they're doubling down to take it away entirely," Neal said.

The ACA got too popular during COVID.
It went from negative approval to +35 approval. Largely because of the temporary subsidies that the OBBB failed to extend.
Remember when the GOP was going to lose the midterms because the ACA was getting too expensive? It was like 12 narratives about the GOP losing the midterms ago, before Goode and Pretti were murdered and all immigration enforcement stopped.
Trump made the move to make the ACA unpopular again by ending the artificial price tags that people were seeing that made it seem so cheap.

Their plan is to break things first, and let the courts take so long catch up that it's too late to fix it. In this case, they hope enough people die that it's a moot point by the time the courts step in.
These fucking morons do understand that a good portion of these people are MAGA, right?
Be assured they likely compared the lists against voter rolls so only Dem voters are affected. Leave the majority of the MAGA on there since they've essentially shutdown the majority of rural hospitals - where most MAGA live - they won't use the ACA either, then.
The worst part is they are going after ppl that are on ACA but never had had to use their services. Those are the people you want on ACA, they are low cost and have the ACA as insurance *if* they need it (exactly how insurance is supposed to work)

Holyoak says the investigation began after voters reported not receiving their ballots and county officials identified unusually low voter participation in the area.

We did end the temporary COVID subsidies by not extending them.
The GOP was going to lose the midterms because of it, and then everyone just forgot about it.

50 West Bank genocide!
Son of Israel's ambassador to US seriously injured in ramming attack in the occupied West Bank
The son of Israel’s ambassador to the United States was gravely injured in a ramming attack in the occupied West Bank on Wednesday.
Neria Leiter, a reservist in Israel’s military, “needs a miracle,” Ambassador Yechiel Leiter said in a social media post. Leiter’s older son, Moshe Yedidya Leiter, who also served in Israel’s military, was killed in Gaza just days after the Hamas-led Oct. 7, 2023 attack, which triggered the war in Gaza.
According to the military and law enforcement, a Palestinian man rammed his car into a security checkpoint Wednesday afternoon near the settlement of Beit Horon, seriously wounding the officer.
Israeli forces at the scene then “opened fire at the terrorist as he attempted to flee” and killed him. More military forces were deployed in the area in the aftermath.

the way it allegedly works is that an unscrupulous broker signs someone up for ACA insurance. They set it up so that they qualify for $0 premiums and the government pays the insurance companies. The insurance companies then pay the brokers a commission.
Another thing they're all hot and bothered about is people who live in states that didn't expand Medicaid, but don't make enough to qualify for ACA coverage.

It was effectively dead once the premium support disappeared. There is still some viability for some low income people but most of them are medicaid eligible and are being funneled that way.
I wish McCain wouldn't have been an ass on his death bed but the ACA is for the most part dead, and cleaning up the fraud from it will make it even more mostly dead.

The GOP is individualizing races against opponents, focusing on GOTV efforts combined with massive ad spends that define the Democrats as crazy and dangerous.
It's an effort at base turnout (and depressing the Democrat base) that understands that midterm turnout is mostly about getting soft partisans to the polls.

Summary -
If multiple rings operated at scale, used fake identities, and exploited switching bonuses - given the size of the CMS cleanup (760,000 people), the multi-year duration, and the known commission structures, fraud rings almost certainly made hundreds of millions — and possibly crossed the billion-dollar mark.Posted by: Chuck Martel at September 23, 2026 05:07 PM (Dv3i1)

I get the "advance premium tax credit" because I's po'.
The thing that gets me is if I had to pay the Obamacare premiums myself, I wouldn't be able to afford them (They're about a quarter of my monthly income), and if I had enough money to afford them, I wouldn't need the insurance, because I could just put that money aside myself and pay out of pocket.Posted by: FeatherBlade at September 23, 2026 05:07 PM (vJrRc)

113 I think part of the op is to plant stories and polls in the media that are negative for Republicans. It is on blast this election cycle. None of the positive on the economy is highlighted or made relatable to people’s every day life. Even Foxnews and the WSJ stories and now editorials are noticeably negative on Trump and Republicans every single day. They don’t have a single good thing to highlight except issues that are abstract. It’s all laced with a negative under current and you don’t need to read to far to read it. They continually play on gas and food prices without giving people a basic understanding about why things are that way and how they are cyclical. For example, I guarantee you by election time gas prices will drop. After the election they will return to normal. That not an accident. It’s on purpose. The other part is they never highlight negative about Democrats nor do they posit how they will govern based on what they say now and how they did it in the past.
There is a huge effort to try and convince people of the inevitability of Democrat majorities in the House and Senate. They truly believe of they keep pushing that people won’t show up.Posted by: Vengeance at September 23, 2026 05:10 PM (Y3swt)
114 Apparently, a significant number of brokers were doing this:
Flagged brokers submitted "statistically implausible rates" of applications for the 2026 coverage year that completely lacked mandatory data, such as Social Security numbers or verified citizenship documentation.
They were, also, screwing over the properly enrolled participants by creating "ghost files" and changing the coverage limits to increase premiums without the applicant's knowledge.Posted by: Orson at September 23, 2026 05:11 PM (dIske)

Waves materialize unevenly.
A blue wave will see massive upswings in blue districts while red districts move slightly to the left.
If we're in a wave, the effects of redistricting in 2020 and this year means that the furthest a blue wave could crest would be about 225 seats for the Democrats, and that's assuming they get every toss up.
Senate races make things more complex. The GOP won a net of 2 senate seats in 2018 in a D+9 environment. They drive up turnout to presidential levels in the states that have them. So, they tend to reflect presidential performance in the last general than anything else.
Trump won TX by 14 in 2024.

More AI research (I hate Obamacare even more than I thought!)-
Why brokers exist even though Healthcare.gov is self‑serve:
The ACA is complex
People want help
Brokers are free to consumers
Insurers want brokers to bring in customers
Brokers get paid only if they enroll you
Commissions create incentives (good and bad)
The Marketplace is self‑serve, but the ACA ecosystem is not self‑explanatory.

171 I couldn't get my head around how brokers could just ignore application obligations like SS# and proof of citizenship, but now I know (after looking up the process).
The Fed Govt allowed what is called EDE (Enhanced Direct Enrollment). This allowed private brokers and web based platforms to create their own software to build customized entryways into Healthcare.gov. These dicey brokers just excluded the indentification obligations from their own customized program. Then they bulk loaded thousands of applications, many of which were non-existent applicants. Then they fabricated the financial status of the applicant to get the sweetest premium.
In short, I'm sure there were illegal immigrants taking advantage of the program, but the real fraud falls likely with dishonest insurance brokers and less to do with immigration.

We're probably going to lose the House, but barely. Turnout differentials are a thing. Not even Obama's vaunted campaign team, who were lauded as the future and the best ever, could undo that, and they lost two midterms really, really badly.
And then Jeffries can try to run impeachment theater where his majority of 5 has 9 House members from Trump+5 districts.
All while OBBB fully funded and appropriated ICE through 2028 and Trump can just deport everyone still.

One big thing has changed is awareness. Even in 2020 when the fraud was blindingly obvious there many people on our side who claimed that Trump somehow lost to a guy who barely left his basement and even less frequently could complete a single sentence without fucking it up. Yep, Joe fucking Biden got more votes than any president in US history.

Then outsource the prosecution to volunteers. No need for courts or activist judges, incompetent prosecutors and fickle jurors. Will give Caterpillar and the lime business a shot in the arm.
In turn, the Quality of Life for those not engaged in fraud will improve as parks, roads, and public venues become less crowded; utility demand drops, housing and food prices ease due to less pressure demand; insurance rates across all modalities should drop as risks are removed...

NY and CA...nothing...you are correct. NJ, on the other hand removed (I think as of now over 30,000) illegal immigrants from the roll. This doesn't sound like much unless you understand how ballot dumping works. They take a residence and then misrepresnt it as an apartment (which adds residences via apartment numbers that don't exist). They they use those addresses for registrations. For every single illegally registered individual with a residence, there is the potential for about 50 to 100 other votes from non-existent addresses. Most of these illegal immigrants probably don't even know it's occurring in their names.Posted by: Orson at September 23, 2026 05:32 PM (dIske)

Boston Globe Op-Ed: The "Trans Genocide" Is a Lie
And a deadly one, I'd add, because the vicious propaganda of a "trans genocide" is used to rile up the mentally ill to commit murder, as we have seen in the case of the "Ziz" transgender murder cult and, despite what simpleton narcissist Candace Owens says, the assassination of a Charlie Kirk by a gay trans-loving furry avenger.
The media attacks every "right wing conspiracy theory" they claim might lead to violence, while affirmatively pushing left-wing conspiracy theories like the "lynching" trend that does not exist. But so what if some normies get murdered. The important thing is that we jack up Democrat voting enthusiasm. It's a bit unexpected to see the liberal David Mastio writing about the "trans genocide" fiction in the ultra-lib Boston Globe, so I'll award Hufflepuff one credit. Note, however, Mastio and the Globe cannot admit the truth -- that in fact transgenders experience violence at lower rates than normal people, which is pretty amazing considering they tend to work in dangerous fields like prostitution -- and still pretend that this is a big problem.
"The numbers show that trans people are not killed in higher rates than other groups, but for Reasons We're Making Up Right Now we should be allowed the 'real' number to be much higher."
In Trump's America, violence against transgender people isn't going up -- it's going down
The data contradicts the popular narrative. The notion that transgender people face soaring levels of violence is so ingrained in the public discourse, it gets little scrutiny even in the reddest and most trans-rights skeptical areas of the country -- like my hometown. In a front page story this summer on the local Pride march, the Omaha World-Herald uncritically quoted a trans rights activist claiming that a proposed state ballot measure that would restrict transgender girls' and women's participation in school sports "won't actually protect" biological women and girls and "will increase violence" against LGBTQ people. Stigmatizing transgender people, the argument goes, leads to attacks. ... But despite a hostile Trump administration and a barrage of anti-trans legislation across the country, the number of violent deaths the group documents has fallen nearly 50 percent from 53 in 2023 to 27 in 2025. Advocacy groups insist the data is incomplete and shouldn't be used to draw any conclusions about the prevalence of anti-trans violence. That's due, they say, to the bigotry of families and authorities who misname and misgender the victims, making it hard to discern from public records how many transgender people are dying.
Oh they do admit it late in the article. That's something, I guess.
Still it's hard to imagine that as awareness about the transgender community has grown, misgendering and pronoun-swapping have become more common in police reports and news accounts than they were a decade ago, when another prominent LGBTQ organization, the Human Rights Campaign, began publishing its own numbers on violence against transgender people. The HRC tallies, too, find a declining number of violent transgender deaths to mourn. The group found a peak in 2021 of 47 deaths falling to 27 last year. HRC described that 40 percent drop as an "ongoing onslaught of violence." Federal FBI hate crimes data also shows a decline in the abuse of trans people between 2024 and 2025. One hate crime is one too many, but for all the backlash against transgender people, an analysis by the conservative Manhattan Institute shows they actually have a lower murder rate than does the population as a whole.
Meanwhile: Here's the reality.
I offered the Human Rights Campaign's key researcher, the transgender woman Charleigh Flohr, or anyone else with the organization an opportunity to rebut the Manhattan Institute finding, but they didn't reply to me. And I can find no evidence that they have disputed the report in the months since its publication.

@wesyang US Democrats have declared forbidding any woman from drawing a boundary between herself and any man who says he is a woman to be the "civil rights movement of the 21st century. They join the center-Left parties across the Western world and Anglosphere in their unswerving commitment to this principle. In the US, it meant allowing a convicted sex offender to loiter naked in a Fairfax County girls changing room for hours. In Australia, it means allowing a man who filmed a video of himself raping a five year-old girl to enter any female bathroom or changing room.Comments

Maybe part of it is that most humans became comfortable enough, and busy enough doing interesting things other than bare tooth-and-nail survival, that we simply stopped feeling the need to "correct" the freaks. We ignored them, and they disappeared into obscurity. One here, one there. Our life goes on. But that just created a huge dissolved moiety of freaks on our planet, and then the advent of Everyone Can Talk To Literally Everyone over the dawn of the 21st century made all that dissolved Weberian freak juice crystallize out of solution and now it's front and center in everyone's face, perfectly convenient for post-Marxist ontoclasts to shanghai into their little army of retards.Posted by: Warai-otoko at September 23, 2026 03:55 PM (aKiSo)
54 The mayor of Anaheim allegedly called her chief of staff a “dirty Mexican” and questioned her sexuality during a lunch at Disneyland, according to a leaked letter.
Democrat Ashleigh Aitken’s chief of staff, Berenice Ballinas, made the damning allegations in a Sept. 11 note sent to the city attorney, signed by her lawyer, and reviewed by TimesOC.
Her lawyer says Aitken, who is running for her second term, made the slur while Ballinas was driving her home, which she sometimes did since beginning her work with Aitken in 2022.
“On various occasions when Ms. Ballinas was forced to drive Mayor Aitkin home, Mayor Aitkin [sic] exclaimed that she did ‘not want her car driven by a dirty Mexican,’” employment attorney Lawrence Lennemann wrote in his mediation request to Anaheim City Attorney Robert Fabela.Posted by: Mark1971 at September 23, 2026 03:56 PM (/OKHJ)

We've lived a lie since Affirmative Action. Since Kaiser Aluminum couldn't give a simple test to pick applicants. Since Disparate Impact and all this other nonsense.
The lies started in the 60s.Posted by: Greetings and Salutations at September 23, 2026 04:13 PM (1/wqL)
86 I think we’re just seeing the beginning. But let’s not pretend like genocide isn’t the goal. Look at the settlement and agreement between the Cleveland clinic and the federal gov. (Link to Justice Dept Article: Justice Department Secures Resolution with Cleveland Clinic to End Pediatric “Gender-Affirming Care”
the language used in that report is disgusting:
> federal law in connection with sex-rejecting procedures on minors (often euphemistically referred to as “gender-affirming care”
Trump and anyone supporting him *will* burn in hell
I cannot stress enough that Nazis didn't "just round German citizens up and put them in death camps" right away. They increased pressure and violence against vulnerable minorities steadily over the course of 25 years, from 1920 to 1945. Trump was first elected 10 years ago...
Forced conversion therapy of trans people is a genocidal practice (over doubles suicide rates) intended to partially destroy the group. And ICE agents are forcing detained trans people into conversion therapy against their will. So yes, there is a genocide according to its definition in the 1948 Genocide Convention.Posted by: Intercepted Reddit Transmissions brought by the Intrepid AoS Liaison at September 23, 2026 04:14 PM (UirZC)
87 In Trump's America, violence against transgender people isn't going up -- it's going down The data contradicts the popular narrative.
In an America where not using tranny pronouns and playing along will get you cancelled and maybe arrested the notion that they are targeted for violence is absurd.
Look at it this way, if you went back to the 50s were maybe you would get into trouble for being obviously gay people hid it. They didn't run around and demand the right to twerk in the face of toddlers and make you talk about how awesome being gay was.Posted by: 18-1 at September 23, 2026 04:14 PM (sKqQm)
88 Troops are afraid of the bad attention they're getting. In the last several weeks, I've started seeing posts from transgenders pointing out that they're just 1% of the population, so why are you being so meeean to us?
To which my reply is, how is 1% of the population enough to create a political movement that bullies the other 99% to comply with their delusions? How is 1% grooming 1 in 30 teenagers to identify as trans?Posted by: Dash my lace wigs! at September 23, 2026 04:14 PM (zYpTz)
89 Forced conversion therapy of trans people is a genocidal practice
Genocide involves killing people in an attempt to end their bloodline/ethnicity.
Amusingly, banning tranny genital mutilation is the opposite of that.

"By ‘Genocide’ they mean, roughly speaking, something cruel, unscrupulous, arrogant, obscurantist, anti-liberal and anti-working-class. Except for the relatively small number of Genocide sympathizers, almost any English person would accept ‘bully’ as a synonym for ‘Genocide’. That is about as near to a definition as this much-abused word has come."Posted by: TheJamesMadison, discovering British horror with Hammer Films at September 23, 2026 04:17 PM (38W+X)
97 I'm still confused about "genocide" in the context of eliminating trannies.
By definition, they cannot reproduce, so they are effectively genociding themselves out of existence.

The really awful issue with men pretending to be women is that they get a sexual kick out of it. They aren't going to cut off their man parts because then they wouldn't get the sexual high of imagining themselves as women with dicks.

In the past, law enforcement was trained to respond to a man in a woman's bathroom as unreservedly nefarious. There was never any legitimate reason to be considered. Start from that basis and then find out what else he's done or intending to do, search his stuff, etc.
That has eroded into no response at all, or a consideration of his identity, a gentle questioning, and a "Have a nice day."

Switching to Islam as a man could make sense from a pragmatic, none religious perspective, but the problem is Islam already has too many low status men. So going from loser Joe Smith to loser Malik Akbar isn't going to help you.
