What happened to those days, they seem so hard to find.
I try and reach or you, but you just close your mind.
What ever happened to our love?
I wish I understood.
It used to be so nice, it used to be so good.

So when you near me, darling can’t you hear me?
S.O.S.!
And the love you gave me, nothing else can save me!
S.O.S.!
When your gone, how can I even try to go on?
When your gone, though I try, I cannot go on!

You seem so far away, though you are standing near.
You made me feel alive, but something died of fear.
What ever happened to our love?
I wish I understood.
What happened to our love, it used to be so good.

The house I wanted to video tour this week is now under contract. Two more possibilities popped up, but one seems huge and probably hard to heat and cool. The other is close to perfect -- but is located within a few blocks of two Section 8 housing developments. Still I'll have a look at it, I guess.

Yesterday, along with little boys jumping up and down and laughing while looking themselves in the fun house mirror that's there - there was a little girl with a long blue dress which must have been like a dress in a Disney movie. She had long brown hair and beautiful blue eyes. I think she was there with her grandmother and father. I asked how old she was and she held up four fingers. She told me her name is Lana.

61 Tonight the book club meets at the suburban library near me. The topic: "The Cozy Mystery." I'll bring along and discuss Josephine Tey's last novel and possibly her best, The Singing Sands; it may qualify for "cozy" even more than the Christies, Carrs, and Queens I have. And it is certainly more readable than 90% of the modern "cozies" I've read. I don't mind that they all follow the same formula; classic mysteries have theirs too. It's that the moderns are all so dull and the "mystery" element is weaker and thinner than an episode of Barnaby Jones.

So this will be the big story today. Given that she supposedly led by double digits, there will be many claims that the Dem party cheated to deny her the nomination. Who knows, maybe.

But I think it’s even more likely that she *never* actually led, and that it’s another sign that the entire practice of polling is now irretrievably broken, and produces nothing but nonsense results that mirror the biases of the pollster.

If this is so, then double digit misses by the polls are going to become the norm.

In Polk County, the GBI arrested deputy Tracey Royston Friday on charges of misusing Flock license plate reader systems.

Last month, three officers were fired in Fayetteville for searching their own licenses plates or that of family members for non-law enforcement purposes.

In Savannah, six employees were fired earlier this month for their role in allegedly misusing Flock cameras.

Howdy Hordelings! The Tuesday ONT has arrived. Content available for those who care. Open thread, as always. What's on YOUR mind tonight?

Another day, another batch of Flock abuses

Wisconsin police pull over wrong vehicle, draw guns on woman after Flock cameras mistakenly identified her car in a homicide case. Twice.
(H/T to CBD for this one)

It happened at around 4:45 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 6. Video from I-94 in Waukesha County shows multiple officers with guns drawn - and a passenger sticking their hands out the window.
Police pulled the car over after a Flock camera flagged it for a Milwaukee homicide. But when Brookfield Police called the Milwaukee Police Department, MPD said they no longer needed the car or the people inside, so officers let them go.
FOX6 News reached out to MPD to learn why that car was still active in the Flock system. The department said it was not a Flock issue, but a personnel issue - staff failed to remove a wanted vehicle alert from the system.

***

Another Flock mistake that prompts officers to go in with guns drawn.

If either of them had resisted in any way or showed they were upset by the false accusations being made by the cops they may have ended up dead. We've seen that happen before.
Also, the cops say "your car flagged the system" as if it were their fault. It was the system that flagged the car incorrectly, not the other way around.
There should be some type of monetary compensation for being stopped falsley with guns drawn.

Flock is going to get an innocent person killed soon.

Not real = not spectacular

Female Cyclists Accused of Using Bra Paddding to Increase Bust Size and Improve Aerodynamics

The world of women’s cycling is currently embroiled in a bizarre scandal involving the alleged use of bra padding to increase the bust area of female competitors and modify airflow around the body. Known as “chest fairing,” the controversial practice can allegedly decrease drag and give competitors an unfair advantage during races.
According to experts, a smaller bust can favor the formation of a kind of “air pocket” at the level of the cyclist’s abdomen, which marginally increases the drag coefficient. For example, Bert Blocken, professor of aerodynamics at Heriot-Watt University (Scotland), told the British newspaper The Telegraph that chest fairing could provide a reduction of up to 3.6% in drag.
***
Originally reported last month by Dutch newspaper “WielerFlits,” the chest fairing trend caused quite a scandal on the women’s cycling circuit, and on August 4th, the cyclists taking part in this year’s Tour de France underwent an additional check of their clothing. It’s unclear if the checks uncovered the use of breast padding, but it’s clear that organizers aim to discourage the practice.

The waiting list for that job must be kinda long

Bad news for those of you who travel with a humanoid

United & Delta Become Latest Airlines To Ban Humanoid Robots From All Flights

United Airlines and Delta Air Lines have joined a growing list of carriers prohibiting passengers from transporting humanoid robots on their aircraft, extending restrictions to both cabin baggage and checked luggage. The policies come as airlines respond to the emergence of increasingly lifelike robots that present operational, safety, and handling challenges not addressed by traditional baggage rules.
The updated restrictions distinguish humanoid robots from conventional consumer electronics and small robotic devices. While toy robots and other electronic devices that meet existing battery requirements generally remain permitted, human-like robots are specifically prohibited regardless of their intended use. The move follows similar action by Southwest Airlines earlier this year after a highly publicized incident involving a humanoid robot traveling on a commercial flight.

99 Story time...
Driving through a largely unpopulated area of a mid-southern state late one evening, I had my cruise set to 5 over the speed limit and chillin'. After a while, a state trooper pulls up behind me. He just paces me. There's hardly any other cars on this dark desert highway and I just leave my cruise at 5 over.

After a while the lights come on and I pull over.

He comes up to the car and is very nice and polite and asks me some questions. We discuss that it's a rental car and I hand him the paperwork; he checks the VIN. He goes back to his car and sits there a while, waiting on information to come back. Eventually he comes back up and informs me the license on my car is not correct, and that's why he pulled me over - it should be on a different car.

Turns out the license belongs on an identical model car of a different color. He lets me know he'll call it in so that hopefully I don't get pulled over again. Neither he nor I are happy with the rental car company. The rental company didn't seem particularly perturbed when I told them upon turning in the car.

CMP M14 news: youtu.be/cM4Lqo82WkE

Per the Chairman and CEO of The CMP:

a. Sales of surplus M14s should start early 2027.
b. Price should be under $2000, which is comparable to current commercial models.
c. CMP will get about 100,000 rifles to sell.
d. Initial limit will be 2 rifles per buyer per year.
e. CMP will closely track each rifle throughout the conversation process, presumably to prevent any full-autos from leaking out.

No info on grading, magazines, or purchase process.

Are they going to compete with the country's largest truck stop on I-80? How much passenger car business does that truck stop have? Is it mostly trucks, or are they vulnerable to B poaching a great number of their customers?

Posted by: OrangeEnt at August 11, 2026 10:37 PM (1Ff7Z)

The Iowa 80 Truckstop and Trucking Museum is in Walcott, roughly 160 miles east of the proposed Buc-ees location.

The Iowa 80 Truckstop and Trucking Museum gets quite a bit of car business, they have a bunch of car gas pumps in front, the truck pumps are in the back. Inside, they have clean restrooms and lots of junk food. I think they have a Wendys inside and some other food offerings.

I always stop there when I'm eastbound, as I can fill up and then make it to Indiana and not have to buy gas in Illinois. I hate that state and don't want to give them any money or do anything there except take a piss.

They're probably far enough apart to not have a big impact either way.

I got pulled over once driving a rental. The tags were expired. The cop was ready to arrest me and impound the car until I told him I was headed to Ft Leavenworth. (He was former Army) Told him I'd go back to the airport and rip the clerk a new one. Which I did. Clerk didn't care. The sternly worded letter to the company went unanswered. Never rented from H***tz again.

202 BREAKING: A consortium of Private Equity firms are putting together a deal to lend Nvidia $500B

Apollo, Blackstone, Blackrock, Brookfield, Goldman and KKR are involved, in what is arguably is the largest financing deal ever on Wall Street.
Posted by: Stateless

Last quarter, Nvidia had $82B in revenue, and spent $20B on dividends and share buybacks.

Their stock is up 13700% over the last 10 years. Not a typo.

Why do they need a $500B loan?

I remember in college when they came out with coupons where you could get 5 beef and cheddars or 5 roast beef for 5 dollars. Then it went to 4, then 3 and now I do not think they even do deals and kids today are like 'Coupons?'

Sometimes the truck is gone-- they go to local events that are more lucrative than grocery's parking lot-- although there's almost always a few cars at their end of the lot. Steady business for decent product!

My wife and I stayed with a small group out at a lodge at Little Pecan Island, South Louisiana. Now “islands’ down there are just high points in the middle of a swamp, but the wildlife was fascinating. We went out in a canoe and coasted up next to an alligator as long as the canoe was! They were all over. Anyway there were about 15 of us there, and there was a cook/caretaker, and when i asked about supper, he said “oh well just see what we catch.”

I thought that was a pretty last minute way to plan dinner for a group of people, but he invited me with him to a little pier on some open water behind the he lodge, and he stood in it and started casting a net.

Within about 30 minutes he had two 5 gallon buckets filled with crab, shrimp, and half a dozen kinds of fish. It was astounding! Made me understand why people lived in the swamps - most of it is terrible, but you never go hungry.

370 Trump issued an EO today: DELIVERING GOLD STANDARD CHILDHOOD VACCINE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR AMERICANS

It is claimed it will pare the childhood vaxx schedule down to 11 essential shots, instead of the 97 today.

I expect that the blue state Governors are going to claim that Trump is unscientific and wants to kill children, and that may be why Fauci's texts on the 83% miscarriage rates on compelled Covid Vaxx were released today.
It is hard to say both that all vaxxes are good and required, and fight off claims that the compelled vaxx were essentially first trimester abortifacients at the same time.

376 Hong winning was the only chance a Republican would win. Of course the machine stole it from her.
Polymarket had it at 97% for Hong. Shows how those betting markets don’t understand politics.

Posted by: Oops Oopsie at August 12, 2026 12:01 AM (bkPgX)

I figured they were running a similar game by showing her with huge leads in the polls and that she would be slid through. Which now that I think about it didn't make sense because they can't afford to lose that governorship. Gonna be interesting to see the post mortems. Will the establishment breakdance all over it? Will the DSA threaten to withhold their vote in November? Will they all come together in the end?

383 Still Crowley +3500 w/ 86.9% in.

There is a third candidate in the DEM race, a white, female state senator. She's getting 7% of the vote. I'd be curious to know whom her candidacy is helping. Her resume sounds pretty midstream. I doubt she's taking votes that otherwise would've gone for Wong.

Posted by: mnw at August 12, 2026 12:15 AM (RCjYY)

384 There’s a good reason betting/prediction markets have become total garbage, incapable of predicting anything. Campaigns have discovered that if they place a big bet on their own candidate - say $100,000 - it moves the odds and makes it look like their guy is gaining, and then other bettors jump on the trend and amplify.

Quite literally, it’s easy to buy a higher poll score if you want to spend money that way.

455 Made some good progress doing fiberglass repairs on the dune buggy body tub. Filled some holes and cracks with fiber-reinforced filler, after sanding off a metric fuckton of "bondo", which has almost nil structural strength. Also used the filler as a bonding agent to fill in a hole with small sheets of fiberglass cut from the removed bottom of the battery tray. Ground all that sort of smooth, and laid up some fiberglass mat and resin over it. After about an hour, the resin still hadn't begun to harden. I carried the body into the shop to keep it out of the rain. If the resin is still uncured by morning, I will hit it with a heat gun to see if I can make it kick. If all else fails, peel it off, wash with acetone, and re-do, being sure to get a NEW tube of catalyst. Pretty sure the catalyst I used was well past its expiry date.

Thank you Grumpy.

We keep our yard neat but the asshole thinks everyone should have a yard that looks like his.

We are in a severe drought here, no outdoor water usage. I am a night owl and sit on the patio at night. The neighbor sneaks out in the middle of the night to run his sprinklers.

Some people think they are special.

563 If things continue as they are, I think that Hong will just barely be unable to request a recount, almost as if they calculated how many votes they would need for that. IANAL and am just going by my understanding of Brave AI's summary, so when it talks about the margin percentage, I think it would be calculated like this:

Margin / Winner
= (Crowley - Hong) / Crowley
= (Crowley / Crowley) - (Hong / Crowley)
= 1 - (Hong / Crowley)
= 1 - (310,037 / 313,34

= 1 - 0.98943
= 0.01057
= 1.057%

569 Four seasons-- I am surprised that we are not "restricted" on irrigation water this year. They usually scream "OMG, drought!!!" if any shortage of rainfall... and this year has been quite dry.

Nope. Not a peep. No restriction so far this summer. (Odd!)

Anyway, when we're "restricted" the irrigation utility checks meters and cruises the area frequently. If people are watering during *disallowed* hours, or exceed certain threshold:

1st offense: warning
2nd offense: water shut-off. (irrigation, not "domestic")
Tampering with valve: Fine and prosecution.

They don't F around.

JQ,

It's a small town here and we think a lot of people here are connected with the powers that be.

Five houses on our street and three are watering their grass. What is funny now their grass is turning yellow. We have such a hot summer this year that no matter how much you water the grass it is going to die, lol.

575 LOL, four seasons. That's the way it goes, huh?

I water just enough to keep the weeds alive. Most of the grass is "hanging in there" but the yard looks like hell, overall.

Meh. As long as it doesn't turn into a dust-bowl, I'm happy.

Posted by: JQ at August 12, 2026 02:46 AM (rdVOm)

576 Hubby was better at keeping a "lawn" than I'll ever be.

Posted by: JQ at August 12, 2026 02:48 AM (rdVOm)

577 What kind of grass? Bluegrass? In a drought it is impossible to put down enough water through an ordinary sprinkler. Normally Bluegrass will go dormant. It looks brown, but it will be fine when cooler temperatures and rain returns in the fall. Just keep foot traffic off it.

They are not only wasting water it will cause the turf to go into root shock and probably kill it. Stupid fuckers.

579 Yard here is mainly weeds and "pasture grass"-- it's lovely green in Spring & grows like crazy, so I'd need to mow twice a week.

Once it's HOT, I can relax and just mow the weeds and little patches of fescue (?) every-other week or so...

There's chicory, wild lettuce, cheese weed, dandelion and burr-clover to keep it looking *green* from a distance.

Posted by: JQ at August 12, 2026 02:54 AM (rdVOm)

580 Oh, and a few other weeds what I don't know the names...

Posted by: JQ at August 12, 2026 02:56 AM (rdVOm)

581 The rule is, basically either irrigate thoroughly and completely, or don’t irrigate at all. Because, you can’t stop till the fall. Dormancy looks bad, but plants know what they are doing. Imagine that.

Plus, an added benefit of dormancy is you don’t have to mow when it’s 103°. Can’t turn turfgrass “on” and “off” like that, it will go into dormancy just fine, and come out of it just fine, but strangely enough half-assed watering, e.g. some fuckhead standing with a hose in his yard giving it a little sip will likely kill it altogether.

This is how weeds take over a lawn. Classic.

In the middle of the night some asshole was banging onthe door yelling let me in. He ran from the front door to the back door trying to get in the house.

I called 911 and they were here in no time. They caught the guy in the driveway and had their guns pulled and screaming at the guy to get on the ground, get on the ground.

He was drunk and was at the wrong house.

I was so thankful they responded so quick.

I don't think it's emotional; I think it's the {click}{whrrrr} of a triggered response. With their full-time job being to deal with the antagonistic, it becomes first habit and then character to treat everyone like an antagonist.

Action, once chosen, when
Repeated, swiftly becomes automatic
Habit; which over time settles into
Character, such that when added to
Circumstance, becomes no less than
Destiny.

If you're lucky, they're just at the Habit level, where conscious attention is enough to override it. If it's a matter of Character, then they've become antagonists themselves. Big-city cops, such as Chicago and Los Angeles, have a reputation for just being the biggest and best-organized gang; "Badge Gang Goombas," one blogger called them.

Men and women are different and have different tastes on average across a lot of entertainment. Rush fans are a particular demographic of males and some females that like what Rush offers-intelligent lyrics, stellar musicianship, and a long career in music.

Neil Peart gives advice if your girlfriend hates Rush

Posted by: Mark1971 at August 11, 2026 07:51 PM (CNl8/)

29 Allie the Calico Kitty Cat (the *other* cutest little cat of them all) and Chloe the Bengal Klutz are getting to know one another by chasing each other around the house.

Allie is currently playing the role of "predator" and Chloe is the "prey."
Posted by: "Perfessor" Squirrel at August 11, 2026 07:46 PM (FZ29D)

Mine will often swap sides when they get to one end of the house, and chase back to the first side.

When she passed I had about 200 high quality elephant figurines and another hundred that were nice but not really worth anything. I could have sold the good ones on the intertubes but I'm lazy so I brought them to an antique shop for consignment sale. it's been a year and sold about half of them. Deal was 60/40.

115 "Dance, Dance, Dance" is a song by the American rock band the Beach Boys from their 1965 album Beach Boys Today! Written by Brian Wilson, Carl Wilson, and Mike Love, it was first issued as a single in October 1964, backed with "The Warmth of the Sun".

"Dance, Dance, Dance" marked Carl's first recognized writing contribution to a Beach Boys single, his contribution being the song's primary guitar riff and solo.

"Dance, Dance, Dance" was composed by Brian and Carl Wilson, while the lyrics were written by Brian and Mike Love. Although many pop songs raise their key at the start of a final chorus, "Dance, Dance, Dance" subverts this convention by modulating in the middle of the verse.

As performed by The Fendertones, a quality father & son Beach Boys tribute band.

116 Rush was initially at least a serious stoner/pothead band.
A little more cerebral than the Zeppelin or later AC/DC crew.

117 You will listen to them at that point, and then say “This is awesome! When are they going on tour?” I’ll be nearby to tell you the truth: no more. They came, they dropped a ton of genius music, and left, and now are off the mortal coil. All that we have left are the recordings and the memories of those who appreciated them while they were here.

At which point the tears start to flow.

138 Rush is an acquired taste. I get why some people really dislike them.

But as a general rule, women have a pretty juvenile taste in music. My wife is an exception, she has good taste. Most of the women I've ever known are stuck with a 14yo's musical palate. They want something with a beat you can dance to, and pop lyrics that aren't too challenging.

Where a man might want a nice musical bourbon, they want some 99 bananas.

Sorry, not sorry. It is what it is.

This race, minus Darline, is pure regional politics. Ralph Norman is taking the upstate and Fry is taking his district, with Darline roughly second.

Sanford is the spoiler in the Low Country, with that spoilage bleeding up into the Midlands a bit. Norman and Fry are sort of tied below Darline and Sanford.

So, the 2nd place winner will be the Upstate vs the Pee Dee balance of votes for their guy.

If Sanford wasn't in, the Low Country and Midlands could've still split the vote between Norman and Fry, but they could've swung if they wanted to.

Posted by: Braenyard

Depends on what you call mature, I cannot stand opera singing for example--I can appreciate the raw talent needed to sing like that at volume but I don't care to listen to it. Not too fond of cRAP either but I can see why others like it. Techno bores me.

Other than that, I can listen to Sousa marches, classical in whatever format, jazz although some of the bebop is not my favorite, rock, pop, country, even folk music. So mature is simply a term in the case of music is what I like is mature and what I don't like is immature.

FWIW, classical piano trained as a yute for years--hands too small to be a great pianist though. So I played boogie woogie when teacher was outside the room.

Saw them at their popular peak at a couple of shows. Great shows--one of them used the soon to be banned festival seating aka sort it on the floor as there were no seats (Nashville in 82-3 I think).

Back in those 70's to 80's days, tickets were affordable for yutes, lots of bands touring, and you did not have to be a billionaire to get good seats--just queue up. Ticketmaster and the assorted scum with their own computerized scalping ruined concert music. The money was there so Ticketmaster and bands still relevant enough to draw people set up perfect price discrimination using the scalper's model.

That outpriced it for the fans while catering to the social and money snobs there to be seen with the best seats.

187 Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez reportedly secretly split from her longtime fiancé years before she decided to freeze her eggs.

The controversial New York congresswoman broke up with Riley Roberts and called off their engagement almost two years ago.

Ocasio-Cortez and Roberts met when they were both undergraduates at Boston University.

The two were last pictured together at the 2021 Met Gala, and Ocasio-Cortez announced their engagement the following year.

But about 18 months ago, the engagement was suddenly called off, according to Leigh Ann Caldwell, the chief Washington correspondent for Puck News.

It is unclear what may have led up to the split, but insiders have said Ocasio-Cortez stopped wearing her engagement ring in the months before they decided not to get married.

The news comes as Ocasio-Cortez announced that she is in the process of freezing her eggs and documenting the process.

You might like Fairport Convention (had Sandy Denny in it and Richard Thompson among others)--look up her version of Where Does the Time Go (she is also on a couple of Led Zep songs). Richard and Linda Thompson were married for a time and put out some stellar music in the 70's to the early 80's. And Richard is still trucking along even now.

And Richard has a puckish sense of humor

Here he is presenting live, one of the songs he covers in 800 years of Music tour (started as a pure folkie and then became something).

And yet if Grandpa could talk her into it, she could sit down and play ragtime on the piano, all off the top of her head, no sheet music, that would make any bar crowd stand up and cheer! She never explained, she'd just say "well it's in my head."

But about 18 months ago, the engagement was suddenly called off, according to Leigh Ann Caldwell, the chief Washington correspondent for Puck News.

So, "last pictured together" in 2021.

Disengaged in 2025?

Piano in the home used to be the live entertainment for a lot of people. I could read music and still can despite years since doing it but I am in awe of those that can do what your grandmother did. I had to work up for the yearly show that my piano teacher put us through. I had strong hands so she put me playing modern composers with crashing chords--Bartok, Persichetti, etc. rather than something like DeBussy, Bach, or Mozart. Did decent on waltz accompaniments too.

Heh. Richard Thompson got a call from Playboy about what he could contribute to a project of the top popular music from the 1000's onwards. He started to do some research as he was already well acquainted with a lot of really old English and Scottish folksongs from playing them for years. Never heard another word from Playboy but decided to cut an album with some of his chums and then tour. You can listen to the whole album on Youtube (about 26 songs).

Live concert of him with band playing the songs on the album is here. About 1 hour 47 minutes on youtube.

Touring is a hard life and back then, Fairport was just scrimping along and fighting for fans in an extremely crowded British music scene. Thompson was one of the few that spent all his time doing music and avoided the excessive drinking and drugs that came around playing the pub circuit at 1-3 in the morning.

In an interview, he noted at the time (late sixties) that he saw all the names in rock etc. pass through the audience for the band as they were just winding down from doing their own shows and did not want to go home.

IRRC, Jimi Hendrix was at one, Who, Rolling Stones, Clapton, Faces, and a bunch of others.

Probably a remnant of that time is one of the 1000 years of songs that Thompson covers is one by Pete Townshend and the Who--A Legal Matter.

Small country, dance and music hall tradition so plenty of venues, and based in London, you could do cheap tours and still return to home base in a reasonable tour. US was and still is a LOT harder to tour than UK was.

290 Rufus, you would probably like the songs that Richard and his ex wife Linda did. Some beautiful albums--Shoot out the Lights and I Want to See The Bright Lights Tonight are fantastic and still in print.
--Standout songs from these albums are Wall of Death (carnival ride), I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight (humorous), and Calvary Cross, (long tour de force featuring guitars and a fearsome vocal by Thompson).

There were at least two earlier albums that are more experimental as Richard became involved in Sufism and mysticism and that was in part why Linda and him broke up eventually.

There was an old farmer where I lived who liked to party, and by party I mean having 30 or 40 people in his yard drinking. You could drive by there and if you heard music and saw a crowd, you could just stop in. ID? What ID?

Needless to say, he had a lot of empty beer cans from this.

He was dumping them in a gully that'd formed in a 40 acre field some distance from the house, presumably in an attempt to check erosion.

Finding that was like finding a friggin' goldmine for a bunch of teens.

I wonder if he ever noticed that the gully somehow never seemed to fill up.

Not that he would likely have given much of a shit if he did. He was one of the most laid-back old timers I've ever met.

Soon-to-Be Guest on Tuq'r Qarlson, Abdulrahman El-Sayed, Hates Fireworks, Thinks Football is Racist Toxic Masculinity, and Generally Hates All Things About the Country His Parents Chose to Bear Their Anchor-Baby In

Oh -- and he's deleted all of these old blog posts and tweets, though some people were smart enough to download them before he hit the delete button.

'Fireworks suck': Removed El-Sayed videos urged getting rid of the 4th of July tradition, raised replacing 2nd Amendment

Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed once asked his YouTube viewers whether Americans could "PLEASE" find another way to celebrate the Fourth of July, in a video promising four reasons "why fireworks suck."
The since-removed video from July 2024 included a chapter titled "Fireworks just aren't worth it: hear us out" and cited Detroit's post-fireworks air quality, the chemicals used in fireworks, their potential to trigger PTSD in veterans, and the risks they pose to children and pets.
The video is one of several examples of El-Sayed removing past online content as he seeks elected office. As CNN's KFile previously reported, he also deleted social media posts supporting the "defund the police" movement.
In other since-removed clips, El-Sayed argued that the southern border was not among Americans' five biggest concerns and lambasted Republicans for focusing on it. In another he floated replacing the Second Amendment's right to bear arms with a constitutional right to health care.
Not all of El-Sayed's commentary has In one episode that remains online, he questioned whether football could be "ethical" or "safe" and linked the sport's "ethos" to narratives used to justify slavery and westward expansion.
...
The YouTube videos, at least 100 of which appear to have been made private, are another example of how El-Sayed's years as a prolific podcaster, commentator and social-media user have left behind an extensive record -- some of it subsequently deleted -- that Republicans could use to portray him as both ideologically left-wing and culturally out of step with swing-state voters.
...
Many of the removed videos on YouTube, where El-Sayed at the time had more than 17,000 subscribers, are not publicly available anymore, but CNN reviewed transcripts archived before the videos were made private.
El-Sayed's fireworks video was briefly interrupted by a message noting that it was sponsored in part by the Marguerite Casey Foundation. In reading ads for the foundation on his "America Dissected" podcast, he highlighted what he called its "cutting-edge areas of scholarship," including "feminist prison abolition."
Prison abolition is a movement that seeks to reduce and ultimately replace prisons, jails, and other punitive systems with approaches intended to address the social conditions linked to harm, including investments in housing, healthcare, education, community-based safety, and restorative or transformative justice. Feminist prison abolitionists argue that incarceration and policing can fail to prevent gender-based violence and may disproportionately harm women and marginalized communities.

Abdul El-Sayed: "Football is very much associated with a particularly masculine and oftentimes toxically masculine culture. So much of it was about how you have to get back up and play for your team. You're not allowed to show pain or vulnerability." pic.twitter.com/BObjfB6j8b

36 year old Marcos Iriarte-Valdez has been arrested for rape, hit and run, burglary, violating a restraining order and most anything else you can think of.
In April he was charged with two counts of felony first-degree burglary after multiple home invasion robberies. He pleaded not guilty and was released on bail with an ankle monitor.
Tuesday he gets arrested for violating the terms of his release. They take the ankle monitor off him while he's in custody. The very next day a judge orders him released once more on his own recognizance and refers him right back to monitoring. They don't even put a new monitor on him until Friday morning...after the murder.
There is no justice for victims in Gavin Newsom's lawless California.

Defund the police.

Portland Police arrested an occupant of the infamous "Red House" last week following a home raid over reports that William Kinney III allegedly threatened to kill employees and contractors working on a project next door. Kinney, a 41-year-old convicted felon with an extensive criminal history, was booked into jail August 4 on charges including possession of a short-barreled rifle, five counts of felon in possession of a firearm, and three counts of being a felon in possession of body armor, records show.
The Red House was at the center of a violent Antifa-Black Lives Matter autonomous zone in 2020, where far-left demonstrators erected borders and barricades to prevent the eviction of the Kinneys, a black Indigenous family who had been squatting at the home.

During the home raid, authorities recovered a cache of weapons, including a KelTec 9mm rifle in the living room, and three rifles and a shotgun in the bedroom, according to a probable cause affidavit obtained by The Oregonian. Additionally, police seized a stockpile of ammunition and three sets of body armor. Kinney is forbidden from possessing firearms and body armor as a convicted felon.
Records show Kinney was released from the Multnomah County Jail after posting a low $25,000 bail. He reportedly harassed and threatened to shoot contractors working on the nonprofit Self Enhancement Inc.'s property next to the home, which sparked the raid. Kinney reportedly made threats for several consecutive months and threw stones at contractors in July before threatening a drive-by shooting, per the affidavit.

Defund the police.

Another Trans Cult? 7-Year-Old Victim Was Groomed to Be Trans Before He Was Found Tortured to Death

William Evans-Ellis was brought up in a trans group where he played a key role as a shared child for all the 'moms.' A Ngo Comment investigation found what they wanted his future to be.
Andy Ngo

Is there another trans cult?
A woman and two men who identify as trans have been charged in Cincinnati, Ohio in the brutal torture and murder of a young special-needs boy. A Ngo Comment investigation found that the group, which included at least three men who identify as trans, had groomed the child into trans ideology from a very young age and appeared to have plans to transition him before police found him unresponsive in a closet, bound with duct tape and showing signs of torture.
William Michael Evans-Ellis, 7, was recovered from an apartment in the Oakley neighborhood in Cincinnati on Aug. 6. He suffered injuries consistent with being choked and held underwater, beaten and burned. A detective testified in court that it was one of the most disturbing child abuse cases he had ever investigated.
The child was found with "a number of injuries that would indicate physical beatings, blunt force injuries," he said.

Kaitlin Elizabeth Evans, 38, who is charged, is the child's biological mother. The two other suspects are biological men who identify as women: "Kirby" Rankin (prior name: Nathan Rankin), 33, and "Nessa" Keaney (prior name: Adamhnán Judaydon Caoilte Lugh Keaney), 23. The three lived together as a polycule and "co-parented" the child to death.
They are charged with murder and child endangerment.

Liberal and legacy media have repeatedly reported that "three women" were charged. This follows a pattern of media outlets obscuring or omitting the trans identities of accused killers and convicted killers in an effort to protect transgenderism. The same pattern occurred in the news media coverage of the Zizian trans death cult.
The boy's biological father, "Tara Jane" Evans-Ellis, 38, who was not charged, also identifies as trans. He married Evans in 2011. His real name is Thomas John (T.J.) Ellis, but he legally changed it to "Tara" in December 2023.
He works as a software engineer in cybersecurity and identifies as autistic and antifa, similar to many of the Zizian members I've reported on. (There is no suggestion Ellis is linked to the Zizians.)
The couple had a second, trans-themed wedding for "Tara" and his wife in 2025. Their child was put in a dress at the ceremony, according to a source with knowledge.
Thomas John Ellis before and after his 2023 transition into 'Tara Jane.'
An analysis of Ellis' social media record reveals a disturbing history of posts showing he was part of that group and that they were influencing the child to become trans.
Active on Mastodon, a Twitter-like social media platform popular with leftists, Ellis posted Antifa propaganda, radical queer activist material, said he was a DSA member and dabbled with the trans furry subculture--similar to Charlie Kirk assassin suspect's trans lover, Lance Twiggs.

On the other hand: A lot of "cops" hired for DEI reasons need to be shitcanned.

54 Red states need to pass laws revoking home rule for any city over 1 million.

It's the only way we can end these violent blue cities.

At 1 million MSA, the mayor of the main city is a statewide election.
At 2 million, the mayor and 2 city council seats.
And then a city council seat for each million thereafter.

Thus, Houston would have the mayor and 6 city council seats as a statewide election.

This would end blue cities.

55 A new land speed record was set today in Utah by British driver Andy Green, driving a specially designed JCB Hydromax car, which reached 406.320 miles per hour.

The milestone was set in the bright yellow tubular vehicle, powered by two hydrogen internal combustion engines, which Green calls the “fuel of the future” at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah.

He easily beat the previous class record for a hydrogen engine, which had stood at 185 mph.

Let's see, we can start with "fundamentally non-serious".

And then add to it that *zero* women belong in law enforcement, because law enforcement done correctly always carries the potential for being in a *combat zone*.

Extrapolating from there, if you can't be an officer you have *zero* business being a "commissioner" and thus in charge of officers/combat zone soldiers.

Trump Had to Change Planes in Turkey to Avoid a "Credible Iranian Assassination Threat."
Jake Tapper Makes the Story All About, Get This, Jake Tapper.

The media keeps digging into the Secret Service's story about what happened in Turkey.

It's almost as if they want the Secret Service's methods revealed so that foreign assassins will be better able to kill the president.

President Trump's secret plane switch in Turkey is putting Air Force One's security protocols and defensive capabilities in the spotlight.
Why it matters: Air Force One is the call sign for any Air Force aircraft carrying the president, meaning Trump's secret switch didn't change the designation -- but it changed the plane protecting him.
Driving the news: A threat from Iran forced Trump to secretly switch planes, using a catering truck to move to a smaller aircraft, per the Washington Post.
Trump flew to Turkey on a plane gifted by Qatar, which was meant to serve as Air Force One. Officials said he would return on an older presidential plane because of security concerns, per multiple reports,
After boarding the older plane, Trump moved to a smaller Air Force C-32A, according to the reports. All three planes flew to the U.K., where Trump joined the Qatari plane and flew home.

Good, so now Iranian assassins know that the Secret Service uses attending vehicles, like catering trucks or supply trucks, to secret move principles.

Well done, Washington Post. You're great patriots for Iran.

There was yet another plan to murder Trump, launched by a foreign enemy terrorist regime.

Jake Tapper decides: This is really a story about how brave the press is, and how Trump's Secret Service is trying to kill them.

The story: Iran had a serious plot to kill the president.

The headlines: OMG Secret Service protected the president and not every asshole in the media. https://t.co/2xshtu9LSz

Was it really a "right wing psyop," though? Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I present to you the music video for "Testify" by Rage Against The Machine:

https://youtu.be/Q3dvbM6Pias

Directed by Michael Moore and released in August 2000, it used clips of Dubya, algore, and Things To Come (1936) to argue that the Democrat party candidate for President was literally the same as the Republican candidate. And by 'literally' I mean, like an invading space alien with the same mind in two bodies.

Infamously, algore went on to lose an election that to this day, Democrats still refuse to concede. Was that a right-wing psyop? RATM and Michael Moore?! Of course not! They literally did it to themselves, and so it was with the "Genocide Joe" label that followed Coconut Kam everywhere like the open-sewer stench of uncontrolled IBS.

That Trump is making it up to justify his war against Iran.

Author of 2024 Democrat Autopsy Says That Crucial Section Was Suppressed by the DNC -- A Chapter Accusing Democrats of Being Greedy and Self-Serving and Putting Their Quest for "Generational Wealth" Above the Fortunes of the Party

Embattled DNC head Ken Martin claims he didn't bury this part of the autopsy. He claims he never received it.

The author of the report, Paul Rivera, says he's lying.

Author of Democrats' 2024 Autopsy Says Party Left Out Key Chapter
A dispute over the chapter between the author and the Democratic National Committee has added to the party's turmoil as it tries to look forward, not backward.

By Shane Goldmacher

After months of resistance, the Democratic National Committee finally relented this May and published a draft of its autopsy of what had gone wrong in the 2024 election, saying it was releasing the unfinished document "in its entirety" in the interest of transparency.
But, according to the man who wrote the autopsy, there was a missing chapter.
The chapter raised pointed questions that were notably absent from the draft that the party put out, both about President Joseph R. Biden Jr.'s ill-fated decision to run for re-election and the sway of an operative class that had become "generationally wealthy off politics" while steering Democratic strategy.
Paul Rivera, the author of the autopsy, provided the chapter to The New York Times and spoke publicly for the first time about the party's efforts to analyze its 2024 losses. Both he and party officials agreed that the process had been messy and at times contentious. He said that the draft released by the party had been compiled from work he submitted in November and December.
But he said that the draft omitted a chapter titled "What Happened in 2024," which he said he had printed out and placed in a three-ring binder that he personally handed to the party's chairman, Ken Martin, in January.

Mr. Martin sharply disputed that account, denying in a written statement that he was ever provided with the missing chapter.
"That is false," Mr. Martin said. "This alleged report section was not in any binder I reviewed." He added, "If we had this in May, we would have released it with the rest of the report." He declined a request to be interviewed.
The disputed "What Happened" chapter addressed several politically delicate subjects that were not included in the draft the party published in May:
It questioned Mr. Biden's decision to seek re-election in the first place: "Is there a single point of failure for 2024? Perhaps it is a decision of the President to seek re-election instead of passing the torch."
It analyzed the party's loss of support among Hispanic, Black, Asian American and Native American voters, which had been mostly missing from the public draft.
And it pointedly raised the concern that most senior Democratic strategists in 2024 were "financially secure" and thus removed from the challenges facing many Americans. "It is therefore possible the people 'in the room' at the highest levels of 2024 decision making misunderstood the mood and practicalities facing everyday America," the report read.

...
The chapter did not name names of those who had become "generationally wealthy." But Mr. Rivera wrote that those Democrats seeking change "keep banging their heads up against a system proven to be inflexible and self-enriching."
"Whether that was a conscious decision on their part to bury the section for the purposes of hiding a paragraph, I don't know," Mr. Rivera said of the D.N.C. "That's a them question. What I can tell you is they had it, and they made a decision not to release it."

...

The dispute threatens to become a distraction for the party less than 100 days before the November midterm elections, when Democrats hope that President Trump's poor approval ratings will help them win control of the House and possibly the Senate. And it comes as Mr. Martin has come under fire for his stewardship of a party that recently reported more than $2 million in debt, while the Republican National Committee had $128.5 million in the bank.
Mr. Rivera, whose reputation was damaged when the party released and disavowed his draft report, said he was going public because he believed the party needed sweeping changes to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past -- which would require frank conversations that he does not see happening.
"It's coming from a place of hope and, honestly, a little bit of desperation," he said.
"There's a very comfortable ecosystem that will profit mightily from no change," said Mr. Rivera, who added that he was now releasing his own 564-page review of the 2024 election. "And I think that we need some disruption here to force change."

9 "That is false," Mr. Martin said. "This alleged report section was not in any binder I reviewed." He added, "If we had this in May, we would have released it with the rest of the report." He declined a request to be interviewed.

THERE- there's the weasel words: "Not in any binder I reviewed"

He doesn't say he didn't know about it or that he didn't remove it. He made sure someone else removed it before he "reviewed" the report.

Yes, the gold is there all (approximately) 147 million ounces. It is impressive, but the real point is what it still teaches in 2026.

In 1971 we severed the dollar from gold. Since then the currency has lost roughly 85% of its value. Prices are higher because the money itself is weaker.

A family making $50,000 with two kids that has not received a 25% raise in the last five years is falling behind.

This is now often called “affordability,” but the the accurate word is inflation.

We run annual deficits of two trillion dollars. The Federal Reserve buys about a third of that debt by creating new money. Every new dollar dilutes the value of the dollars already in people’s pockets. Gold does not expand when Congress spends. Paper does.
That is the difference.

I still voted Kamala for harm reduction and don't agree with sitting out of the last election. Left Is Best.

Dems punched left and down instead of punching right and up is the reason for literally every Dem failure of all sizes macro and micro

Didn't they release this last year and everyone came to the conclusion that Gaza didn't have any impact?

Everyone knew that Kamala's stance on Gaza would harm her changes, no matter how much she frowned and said "what's happening in Gaza saddens me but i don't plan on changing anything".

All three Presidents who were California residents (Nixon, Reagan, and Hoover) were conservatives.

Commie Lay is the only one who even advanced to the general election, and that's only because she got rammed through without a primary. Others (Cranston and Jerry Brown come to mind) didn't make it through the primaries.

Yes, the gold is there all (approximately) 147 million ounces. It is impressive, but the real point is what it still teaches in 2026.

In 1971 we severed the dollar from gold. Since then the currency has lost roughly 85% of its value. Prices are higher because the money itself is weaker.

A family making $50,000 with two kids that has not received a 25% raise in the last five years is falling behind.

This is now often called “affordability,” but the the accurate word is inflation.

We run annual deficits of two trillion dollars. The Federal Reserve buys about a third of that debt by creating new money. Every new dollar dilutes the value of the dollars already in people’s pockets. Gold does not expand when Congress spends. Paper does.
That is the difference.

168 Ah Rand is a chip off the old block. Completely wrong about gold of course. Once again class - monetary inflation is caused by inflating the supply of currency in a manner disproportionate to the productivity of the economy upon which the currency is based.

Gold is just a talisman.

Posted by: Black JEM at August 11, 2026 05:24 PM (7/DDO)

Gold is more like a limiter.
When gold was covertible to currency it keeps the government from printing more than the gold coming in from the mines.

It works a lot like BitCoin in that those 'coins' have to be mined into existence.

It's the rarity that makes gold valuable and kept inflation limited to gold output more or less.

When we went off of the Gold Standard, and then Nixon stopped convertibility by foreign governments, it allowed the U.S. to print more dollars and let it float against other currencies. Debt & inflation have been growing exponentially ever since.

Actually one of the original reason Muslims spread through the Levant and North Africa was that the Byzantine's oppression of various Christian sects made Islam's tax for infidels a better deal, and overall the tax burden of the smaller Islamic state's government was a better deal.

"Republicans for Talarico" Turns Out To Be, Get This, A Bunch of Lifelong Democrat Donors ("And Other Losers," Says the RNC)

Wait, Democrats are lying to me?

This changes everything.

'Republicans For Talarico' Exposed As Complete Scam
"This lame rebrand of White Dudes for Kamala is full of lifelong Democrat donors, activists, and other losers."
Jacob Wheeler

Leftist outlet MS NOW aired a segment featuring three Texas women who identified themselves as Republicans and vowed to cross over for James Talarico -- but records show at least some of them have voted in Democratic primaries and donated to liberal candidates and causes.
Talarico, who has sparked backlash for his fringe views on Christianity, affection for transgender children, and disdain for the American flag, is banking on Republican crossover support to become the first Texas Democrat elected statewide in decades.
"Republicans for Talarico is as real as the six genders that Talarico claims exist, but has yet to explain what they are. This lame rebrand of White Dudes for Kamala is full of lifelong Democrat donors, activists, and other losers," RNC spokesman Zach Kraft said in a statement to The Daily Wire.
That "rebrand" was put on display earlier this month when MS NOW aired a segment from the political show "Long Play," featuring three white women from Tarrant County who portrayed themselves as disgruntled conservatives eager to vote for one of the most liberal candidates in Texas to run for federal office. The exchange went viral after Talarico's campaign seized on the segment, dubbing the women "Republican Moms."
During the segment, former school board candidate Mindy McClure described herself as a "moderate Republican," but as the saying goes, follow the money. Federal Election Commission filings show McClure has repeatedly given through ActBlue to Democratic candidates and anti-Trump groups dating back to 2018, including the Lincoln Project and Kamala Harris' 2024 presidential campaign.
"You've been Republicans for most of your voting lives. Who's voting for James Talarico?" asked Jennifer Palmieri, the former communications director for Hillary Clinton's failed presidential campaign.
All three of the so-called Republican moms raised their hands, arguing they had been duped by conservative culture-war messaging about "woke" politics in elementary schools.
...
Montgomery hasn't voted in a Republican primary since at least 2017 and over the last 20 years has voted in more Democratic primaries than Republican primaries, according to a Republican source who has reviewed the voting records. Texas reporter Tony Ortiz also reviewed the records, which showed that at least two of the women participated in Democratic primaries despite identifying themselves as Republican voters during the interview.
"Ran the voting record for one of the 'Republican' women featured here and she's already been voting in Democratic primaries this year," Ortiz wrote in a post on X. "Seems disingenuous to call yourself Republican if you've already been voting Dem."

Wait -- if this is a scam, does that mean that The Bulwark, The Dispatch, and National Review might be scams, too?

I ran into a �Republicans for Talarico� type lady here once, came into my replies talking about how she was a lifelong conservative Republican voter who�d been forced to support Democrats because of how radical the Republican Party had become, so I searched her history and found� https://t.co/9k6DEAjPBY

RIP "Republicans for Talarico"

The Talarico campaign is now officially distancing themselves from the failed group after it was exposed to be made up of lifelong Democrats. pic.twitter.com/Zw1fdLcAu7

74 I saw this YouTube video about a section of Minnesota that Trump has allowed to be mined. Biden put a moratorium on mining there and Trump reversed it.

The video includes footage of Trump explicitly saying he would do that in 2024 while campaigning in the state.

And yet the entire video is how dare Trump do this!!!!! Uhm assholes he did what he said he’d do. It’s kinda how elections are supposed to work.

Trump has been one of the few politicians to do this. Like him or not you shouldn’t be surprised by anything he’s done. He spelled it out loud and clear for everyone during the election.

So these “lifelong Republicans” are either liars or retards being shocked that the man they voted for is doing exactly what he promised to do.

NC right now is just name recognition and the fact that NC summer polling is bullshit.

The state has moved appreciably to the right in voter registrations since Cooper last won statewide. 400,000 Democrat advantage in 2020 to 10,000 Republican advantage in 2026. Cooper won by 250,000 votes in 2020.

His governorship ended poorly (Helene), and the GOP is hanging Iryna's death on him because of the soft on crime policies.

And, he's of the wrong party. Larry Hogan was a popular governor of MD. He was a Republican in a Democrat dominated state, but he was popular as governor. And then he ran for federal office and PVI kicked in and he lost by double digits when he ran for Senate.

We'll see, but any which way, it will not be a blowout in Cooper's favor.

149 GatewayPundit...

Michigan’s far-left Democratic U.S. Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed is facing fresh scrutiny after a video resurfaced showing the progressive candidate taking aim at one of America’s most beloved sports.

“Football is very much associated with a particularly masculine and, oftentimes, toxically masculine culture. And so much of it was about—you wanted to be able to get back up and play for your team, and you really aren’t allowed to show pain or vulnerability. That’s part of the sport,” El-Sayed declared in a February 2023 podcast released shortly before the Super Bowl, according to The Washington Times.

I watched the Detroit Lions for years. Toxic Masculinity would be one of the last phrases that would come to my mind.

I did deal blackjack to Wayne Fontes once at the casino.

all of them. But in fairness, the penis is not nearly as important as the bank account. After the rich guy kicks off, its not a sure thing that they'll go out and grab a fresh wiener. Having achieved the ability to shop internationally, they would rather do that than do the wiener. They'll spend their energy shopping for a couple years and then maybe think about accessorizing with another dude, when they've bought everything else already.

174 Texas Monthly: Are There Really Democrats for Paxton and Republicans for Talarico? Heated races have left the Democratic and Republican Texas Senate candidates with vulnerabilities with their bases.

A “Democrat for Paxton” would be akin to the white guy who forgot to switch over to his burner account for black people.

Another absolutely dumb-as-fuck Texas Monthly headline.
-Could Democrats possibly vote for a right-wing extremist with felony charges???
-Could Republicans really vote for a DEMOCRAT???

It should be Texans against AIPAC

Republicans for talarico, yes. democrats for paxton? only the liberals. schumer is probably cheering him on, since he hates progressive policy so much.

Ken Paxton is an extremist, so his supporters are ipso facto not “moderate republicans.” Very few moderates remain within the Republican Party.

Talarico needs to drop an occasional F bomb and do more to vilify the Republican establishment. Not too much, not to extent Paxton is. Polls indicate he is barely above Paxton. Meanwhile in other races those who express their rage do much better.

215 I got confused about all the Byrds in politics. I was reading something about World War II, and there was mentioned a West Virginia senator Byrd. I was thinking Robert Byrd, I guess, of Virginia, the Ku Klux Klansman. I think there were three Byrds in the Senate at one time though not concurrently.
Posted by: Common Tater

Robert Byrd, the late Senator from West Virginia, was not related to the Byrd family of Virginia (which included Antarctic explorer Adm. Richard Byrd). Robert, IIRC, was adopted, and the Byrd family that adopted him was not related to the FFV Byrd family.

234 Grok:
The closest actual quote is from Trump’s April 23, 2020, White House coronavirus briefing (not a direct instruction to the public to inject bleach):“And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning. Because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs. So it would be interesting to check that. So, that, you’re going to have to use medical doctors with. But it sounds — it sounds interesting to me.”

snopes.com

This came right after Department of Homeland Security official Bill Bryan discussed how bleach and isopropyl alcohol quickly kill the virus on surfaces. Trump was floating the idea of studying whether something similar could work internally (framed as a question to experts about potential research), while also talking about UV light. He did not say “inject bleach,” name household products as something people should use on themselves, or tell the public to do it.

263 A friend from a major news organization sent me a copy of Hunter Biden's laptop in October 2020. He did so to assist him with analyzing its contents for authenticity and anything incriminating. I confirmed the data was authentic. The metadata within the emails is self-authenticating because it contains IP's of every sender and recipient. Secondly, Rudy Giuliani curated the files so that the viewer would immediately see authenticating data such as receipts to telecom carriers and vendors like Apple. He also included text logs to Hunter Biden's phone.

I found no smoking-gun evidence of a crime, but there is corroborative evidence that has already been reported in the news. The corroborative evidence can be paired with testimony from others like Tony Bobulinski to build a legitimate case if any prosecutor were to pursue it.

The laptop did not contain any graphic evidence of sex crimes with minors simply because Giuliani removed it. It would have been illegal for him to transfer that kind of content to non-law enforcement, so it was removed when he curated the contents

And BTW, Hunter's friendly emails with Tucker are among the first the viewer encounters. Giuliani segregated those.

272 Despite his liberal domestic agenda, Alexander II faced growing revolutionary opposition, particularly from the People’s Will (Narodnaya Volya), who viewed him as an obstacle to democracy. He survived five assassination attempts before being killed on March 13, 1881, in St. Petersburg by bombs thrown by Ignacy Hryniewiecki and Nikolai Rysakov. Ironically, he had just signed the Loris-Melikov constitution proposal that day, which would have established elected legislative commissions. He was succeeded by his son, Alexander III, who reversed many of his father’s liberal policies and adopted a more repressive autocratic stance. You may now continue.

You call a man a tyrant and a bloody handed fool so you can justify destroying him. It makes him legal prey.

If he had a cadre that would have backed him, especially in taking up the peace proposals that came directly from Kaiser Bill II bypassing the Diet, he might have become something other than fill.

288 270: Speaking with a bit of experience with security clearances; I had one in the USAF, when I got out, I took a retail job for a year (it sucked, a lot). No clearance needed. Decided I should look for a Beltway bandit job here in Babylon DC. Found out my clearance was placed in inactive status and was 'good' for 2 years after I got out. All they did was reactivate it and I was on my way to be a Beltway Bandit. Still doing it (26+ years). When I flee Babylon, I suspect the same thing will happen. My clearance will go into 'inactive' status for a couple of years. Unless the process has changed over the decades.

The Texas GOP has never been Republican; they haven't even been GOP; I can't even call them a 'false flag' operation. They were the party of AWFLs before AWFLs were ever a thing.

Even if we step back and say, fine, perhaps they were simply trying to understand the potential risks and mechanisms involved, the broader point is still horrifying. This was January 2021, a full month after the rollout of an industrial scale effort to inject this experimental product into billions of people, yet at the same time they were secretly discussing catastrophic consequences they did not understand. Just look at Biden Surgeon General Vivek Murthy's reply to Fauci, speculating about the possibility of DNA mutations in fetuses. They had absolutely no idea what this stuff might do. And then, not only did they conceal these problems, but perhaps even worse, they forced this drug on the population under threat of losing their jobs, their ability to travel, and even their freedom.

With a hefty dose of "everyone is inherently selfish". Was that objectivism or utilitarianism, I didn't care.

59 Ron Johnson was on talk radio yesterday. What I remember from the interview is the CDC knew about the cytokine storm leading to high # of mis-carriages for women early in pregnancy. Those lying scumbags then published a paper including mostly women who got the vaccine in the 3rd trimester (over 28 weeks) for the denominator. But the cut-off to be considered a mis-carriage is way earlier than 28 weeks. If they had used the number of woman that got vaccinated in the 1st trimester instead of lying by including those 3rd trimester cases the rate of miscarriage for vaccinated pregnant women was like 80%.

The commies of the left of course think miscarriages are a good thing, but it is outrageous that the CDC told pregnant women they should get the clot shot even in early pregancy when they knew how high the risk to the fetus was.

I was surprised when I took an "ethics" class in early college without knowing what it was. Surprised that it really didn't have as much to do with morality or "doing the right thing" in situations as questions like "what is the most correct and/or efficient number of people to mass murder" and "what is a justifiable level of harm to inflict for the 'right reasons'".

With a hefty dose of "everyone is inherently selfish". Was that objectivism or utilitarianism, I didn't care.

90 Look I just have a PhD, not an MD. But I can and do read scholarly articles online. You can go back to the 1920 review of what did and didn’t work in the 1918-1919 Spanish Flu. Towns in America tried masking (surgical masks of the time - six layers of muslin), shutdowns, both, neither. It was all a local decision. You would expect to see some effect in the results if it made any difference. It didn’t. About the only thing that helped seemed to be a practice of putting Flu patients in a bed in the outdoors. It was thought that fresh air might help. It wasn’t the fresh air, it was the sterilizing effect of UV in the sunlight. The exact opposite of forcing people indoors. Extra sunlight might have induced some extra vitamin D also, but that seems a stretch since I don’t think the effect is instantaneous.

it's 12 percent of all PG women BUT the bulk of the pregnant participants were into the third trimester. the shot killed babies in the 1st and 2nd - mostly 1st. so if you go with all the pregnant women, 12 percent miscarried. that is still horrible!

if you go with early pregnancies, it's 80 percent. which is horrific

btw I have known this, not for sure, but the data has been out there.

what's new is the texts showing Fauci and other docs knew it right away, had the data and hid it.

131 COVID poses a significantly higher miscarriage risk than the vaccine. The vaccine, by definition, causes a lower immune response than the virus itself. So the vaccine is the safer choice. It also has the potential to save the life of the pregnant person.

Exactly! This doesn'tget said enough.

But fox news saiid, and they never lie, except for all the lawsuits where they were caught lying about just little things, like saying an American presidential election was rigged when it wasnt.

There seems to be some serious memory hole-ing of what 2020-2021 was like concerning the vaccine. If you weren’t subject to any of the mandates and chose not to get it, you apparently had blood on your hands.

This was on the White House website:
“For the unvaccinated, you’re looking at a winter of severe illness and death for yourselves, your families, and the hospitals you may soon overwhelm.”

Well, considering the data is for the first trimester of pregnancy I think they may be making shit up.

its 3 months. If you are 12% likely to miscarry in a pregnancy, and 80% of miscarriages happen in the first trimester.
you would expect the group of pregnant women in the study to miscarry in the first 3 months to be 9.6% Not twelve percent and not in the 80%. Now if they claim that there was an unusual distribution of miscarriages in the beginning of the study that was then evened out by an unusual distribution of reduced miscarriages later in the study I am very dubious. Also, you don't email around to you pals about miscarriage concerns in 2021 if the data was that shitty. Its another fucking coverup.

The press's power is waning, and it's been waning since, like, the 80s.

There have been spurts of decline in trust that have accelerated it over time. Kind of like a step ladder down.

It's been replaced by social media and the bubbles therein.

Musk buying Twitter was big, but I still maintain that Bari Weiss getting control of CBS News may end up being bigger.

It's the LIVs who watch evening news, and CBS no longer being raging leftist but only moderately leftist and willing to do stories that occassionally hurt Democrats will crumble the wall of cultural hegemony that Democrats have in a new direction, not through alternate media, that could have even longer lasting effects.

150 Lest we forget, before the 'vax' was approved the MSM were busy telling the public not to trust the Trump vax because he'd do anything to get it out before Election Day. Biden 'wins' and all of those thoughts go out the window.

Kumswala said she would be hesitant to take Trump’s vaccine. Until it became Biden’s vaccine and then it was 10000% safe.

151 If the child in the womb is sufficiently mutated, it will result in a miscarriage and stillbirth. It happened to my sister with her fourth child, who wasn’t.

153 Look how many in the media were as committed to forcing the vaccines on people and demonizing people who either questioned the vaccines or refused to take the. There were talking heads on CNN and MSNBC proudly announcing that anyone who didn't take the vaccine should be fire, locked in their homes, refused medical treatment and on and on.

They were Fauci's eager and willing assistants. They aren't about to report on their own behavior unless forced.

Beadyeyed asshole.

Trump had little choice on that one. Just like the GOPe foisted GHWB on Reagan, who wanted Paul Laxalt as VP (thanks, whig!), Priebus wouldn't get the GOP on board with Trump after the nomination unless Trump picked one of their guys. Pence was the only one who was willing to do it.

Funny - I still remember a Trump interview when he recalled the night he won in 2016, sitting in the NY Hilton with the Pences. Mrs. Pence couldn't stand to be in the same room as Trump. He noticed it even then.

I was absolutely convinced that they would do this before the last election. However, I failed to appreciate how up to their tits in this the deep state was. Some of you tried to explain it to me back then, using puppets to no avail. You were right. I admit, I realized how wrong I was when BIden gave Fauci a blanket pardon.

Only Trump had been chief executive of the federal government when the election of 2020 rolled around.

Democrats cheated by mail in ballot for months before shutting down ballot counting in six states to ballot box like Tammany Hall to barely beat him in the electoral college.

Trump made mistakes (oh boy), but the people understood that he was on their side enough that Democrats had to burn the rulebook of elections to get rid of him.

I think that arguing it now, years later, is really just reinforcing those impressions people had. I doubt anyone is going from pro-Trump to anti-Trump over covid NOW as opposed to what would have happened in the moment in 2020.

169 The vice presidential candidate in 2020 gave multiple interviews saying that she would never take a vaccine made by the Trump administration because she could not trust the science behind it. 6 months later the administration she was a part of made the vaccine mandatory.

Posted by: Mister Scott (Formerly GWS) at August 11, 2026 03:07 PM (cpFbA)

That's because it changed the way the vaccine works. Like how sitting at a table in a restaurant made you immune from the covid in the bar and at the door and standing next to the table and especially outside. Covid is very clever. It knows who the president is.

If I was a doctor I'd be really pissed, because if I went by what Fauci, the CDC and the rest of the medical bureaucracy told me, then I'd have told my patients that HCQ & Ivermectin were quack medicine and that the vaccine was 100% safe & effective at preventing infection and transmission.

But I don't see many doctors getting outraged about this, at least publicly, for some strange reason.

Seems to me that this is part of the brainwashing we were all subjected to - the idea that all the evils of Nazi Germany were all because of one man - Hitler - and that once he was dead, we didn't have to worry about it any more.

In reality, I suspect the Globalaists are the same people who were behind Hitler. Certainly they have a lot in common with Nazis, with the cozy relationship between corporations (the super-wealthy) and the government.

Hell, at this point I look back at the story of Hitler's death and it seems like a stupid story that we were all fools to ever believe. He shot himself, and magically his body was disposed of without a trace?

The Nazis really DID have connections in South America, and OF COURSE Hitler would have had an escape plane for when things went South. Some of those nutty stories we used to hear in the tabloids, decades ago, about him being alive down there might have actually been true.

That actually was the official line when it became apparent that the shots greatly increased miscarriages. Since the mothers survived the miscarriages, the adverse effect of spontaneous abortion was deemed "resolved" and therefore not a consequential side effect.

209 I see the talking point above, and I see this often from lefties, "But COVID can also cause a miscarriage" or whatever the other health issue in question is.

But since the clot shot doesn't stop you from getting COVID it doesn't matter. Look at this way, suppose the odds of miscarrying due to COVID were 10% and the clot shot stopped it. Then the debate becomes does the clot shot increased your change of miscarrying by more or less then 10%?

But since it does not stop the spread it doesn't matter. If COVID has a 10% risk of miscarriage and the clot shot 5% its 15% if you take the shot so you shouldn't.

Also horse ivermectin is the same as human ivermectin if you avoid any “extra” medications in it and are careful about dosing (per hundred pound weight).

Scrolling down the page, there's an animated ad for women's clothing that's highly distracting for all the wrong reasons.

In the middle of the page is an ad for a product called "Prodenta" with an image that makes me wish I had toe fungus instead.

Every site that allows advertising is like this.

MDs are still clinging to the old brainwashing where the doctor is infallible, and you must do whatever they command because they KNOW BEST from all their years of training. You're not supposed to know that their training is biased by financial interests.

How can they admit they were duped? How can they rage against the very establishment whose approval they STILL need to practice their livelihood? It was only the courageous few who spoke out, when this was first going on.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani threw his staff under the bus Tuesday after an awkward public disagreement between City Hall and NYPD officials over whether the department will send cops to serve as security detail for his wife Rama Duwaji’s upcoming Middle East trip.

Mamdani appeared to blame a mistake by his City Hall staff after a high-profile back-and-forth with the police department.

“There was a miscommunication. She has not yet taken that trip and when she takes that trip it will be without any NYPD detail,” Mamdani told PIX11.

Pregnant women are advised to not eat lunch meat and not take OTC meds (along with avoiding smoking and alcohol) because there's a chance it could harm the baby. But with Covid, suddenly they were told to take experimental Covid shots and also flu and RSV shots during pregnancy. It's like medical knowledge flipped in 2021.

299 Pharmacists at my locally owned and run drug store were dismissive when I made inquiries about getting HCQ early on in the COVID scam. Doesn’t matter, you can get quinine, which works as well against COVID as HCQ, easily if you make some simple online inquiries. It’s over the counter since it’s a 400 year old drug. Also horse ivermectin is the same as human ivermectin if you avoid any “extra” medications in it and are careful about dosing (per hundred pound weight). Also the apple flavor ivermectin tastes like apple like battery acid tastes like chocolate.

After twenty years of daily use, your vision turns bluish. At my age, I’ll be lucky to be around in twenty years. Also HCQ is a slightly modified quinine molecule, the hydroxychloro bit is an HCl added on one end of the quinine molecule. They went to HCQ because the Plasmodium malariae parasite was evolving to be immune to quinine. In some parts of the world they are going back to quinine because the parasite is becoming immune to HCQ. It’s an ongoing battle.

I worked on a few covid vaccine trials - integrating clinical data collection and cleaning systems.

I remember specifically that on one study, pregnancy was a screening exclusion criteria. Meaning if you were pregnant, you couldn't be a trial subject (patient).

The moment I knew that the political leaders were lying through their teeth about everything was when they said that getting the vaccine meant you couldn't transmit the virus to someone else. There was absolutely nothing in any of the clinical trials that would, or even could, justify that statement. It's not something that could possibly be captured during a clinical trial with any degree of quality.

There's at least one person here who plays the Champions tabletop RPG, so he'll know what I'm talking about.

An early adventure for Champions had as its premise that an Israeli scientist invents a time machine and sends superhuman Mossad agents back in time to kill Hitler. Which they do. But since all the conditions for a militant, resurgent Germany were still there and none of the Manhattan Project scientists fled Germany in the 1940s, WWII happens instead in the 1970s. With nuclear weapons.

Tuq'r Qarlson Has On His Old Addict-Pal Hunter Biden to Explain That the Laptop Was a Fake Created By (Get This) Jews

It doesn't strike me as implausible that Israeli intelligence could have shopped the laptop's contents around. Spy agencies do that kind of thing. They get their hands on juicy information and they use it against their enemies. And the Biden family is and was an enemy of Israel, as well as of America.

But Tuq'r Qarlson is spinning for his fellow drug addict and old friend Hunter Biden in suggesting that Israel made the whole laptop up.

Hunter Biden claimed Monday that he didn't abandon his infamous laptop packed with incriminating documents at a Delaware computer shop in 2019, but that the files were actually stolen from his online cloud storage -- despite the FBI presenting the MacBook Pro as evidence in court.
Hunter, 56, claimed an unknown person or entity broke into his accounts to steal the trove that showed how he involved his then-vice-president dad in lucrative international consulting relationships.
"They hacked my cloud," the former first son told former Fox News host Tucker Carlson in a two-hour interview -- suggesting that Russian or Israeli intelligence agencies or "some kid in his basement" had cobbled together stolen digital assets and claimed they were a laptop.
"There's no possible way all of the information that was eventually labeled as my laptop came from one laptop. It's way too large," he told Carlson.
The actual laptop was presented as evidence at the then-first son's 2024 illegal gun possession trial. FBI Special Agent Erika Jensen testified that the MacBook Pro 13's serial number on the back belonged to then-President Joe Biden's son -- as he sat in the courtroom.
Repairman John Paul Mac Isaac gave the laptop to the FBI after copying its files, resulting in The Post's bombshell reporting on how Joe Biden as vice president met with an executive from a Ukrainian gas company that was paying Hunter $1 million a year -- while Joe spearheaded the Obama administration's relationship with Kyiv.
Other files showed that Joe Biden was penciled in for a 10% cut in a Chinese government-linked business venture and that Hunter brought Mexican business associates to meet his father and met with his dad in close proximity to engagements with a corrupt Romanian tycoon.
False claims that the files were hacked or doctored prompted censorship by Twitter and Facebook shortly before the 2020 election and Joe Biden claimed they were a "Russian plant" -- though months later other major news outlets confirmed their authenticity.
"You have as good a guess as mine in terms of actually who was the original hacker of that information, who has the capacity to be able to do it," Hunter Biden told Carlson.
"I don't have digital forensic evidence that it was hacked by this person or this entity or this organization that it was Mossad, or that it was the GRU, or that it was, or that it was some kid in his basement."

...
Hunter claimed that "not one single thing of criminal activity other than use of drugs and all of the things that are associated with addiction is proved by the laptop."

In September 2024, the then-first son pleaded guilty to failing to pay at least $1.4 million in federal taxes between 2016 and 2019 on the international business relationships chronicled in the laptop. He separately was convicted in June 2024 of three gun felonies.
Biden family critics argued that laptop files showed that Hunter was working as an unregistered foreign agent, though he was not criminally charged.

Tuq'r Qarlson's website just defended Abdul El-Sayed, claiming that the "neocons" smear all enemies of Israel as "terrorists." As I said, he will have El-Sayed on for a promotional "interview" within weeks.

I can't find that item now but I will post it when I do find it again.

Us Caller reporters thought this would be a great way to refute Bidenworld's claims at that time that the laptop emails were fake or illegitimate.
Someone who emailed with Hunter could verify their authenticity! We thought Tucker would be more than happy to help, and no ill will was intended.
But no. Tucker lashed out at the Daily Caller employee who was tasked with contacting him about this, saying that a story on that would be an "attack on my family," or something along those lines.

He's an angry, brain-damaged, ridiculous cunt.

The "very Christian" Tuq'r Qarlson will announce his conversion to Islam within a couple of years.

43 This is the dumbest shit ever.

The shop had receipts for Hunter bringing the laptop in. Receipts signed by Hunter Biden.

There's no dispute he physically dropped the laptop off and then either abandoned or forgot about it.

Indeed, Hunter himself admitted all this. To be sure, he alternatively denied the laptop was his, but at times he admitted it.

Besides, do we really need to resort to James Bondstein international spy shit to explain how a degenerate crackhead whoremaster with worms squirming in his head stupidly stored incriminating shit on this laptop, dropped it off at a shop, and then forgot about it?

Makes sense. Tucker is a crypto fascist owned by the Kremlin. No thanks.

Fuck this guy pretending to be a journalist. He pushed the laptop propaganda, and the stolen election bullshit. He has zero credibility.

Seriously, leave the Biden’s alone. They’re going through enough right now.

Interesting. I know Joe Biden and Bibi hated each other, and Bibi wanted Trump in office because he’s easy to manipulate.

Did Tucker not ask him about the "real, authentic and damning" documents he totally had, but sadly lost in the mail? I can´t believe Bowtie is taken seriously by anyone.

JVL from the Bulwark also used to be friends with Tucker. Apparently he seems like a nice guy IRL. Anyway, dude has major Israel Derrangement Syndrom.

Dave Callum on the Three Bald Guys podcast brought up a weird conspiracy theory about Charlie Kirk. There's some picture of Erika at his funeral where she's standing by his coffin and holding his hand. And his hand looks way smaller than hers, when he was taller in life than she and should've had larger hands -- the implication being that the body in the coffin wasn't Charlie's.

I've not seen the picture, so I can't comment, but apparently that theory is out there.

117 Wuhan’s ‘Bat Woman’ Runs A New Lab Creating Coronaviruses That Can Infect Humans. U.S. Tax Dollars Are Still Supporting Her Work...Fauci’s former agency is the source of funds.

Shi Zhengli, the Chinese virologist whose years of bat coronavirus research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology made her one of the most scrutinized scientists in the world after COVID-19, did not disappear.

She moved on to another powerful Chinese state laboratory, where she is now helping train a new generation of coronavirus researchers.

there's a big difference. I'm sure Tucker made this point - NOT.

Its ridiculous. The stupid degenerate crack head, who solicits bribes from hostile foreign governments and holds 10% for the big guy, and denies the paternity of his baby, is not exactly someone whose word I'm going to take for anything. And Tucker Carlson is so fucking far gone, and in the bag compromised, he is only having this guy on to sell this shit because he is compromised and or lunatic.

Media, acting, and politics all have a common personality type--narcissistic. Why did Bill O'Reilly, Me Again, and other media hacks that got paid well over the years pop up on podcasts--it is because they bloody well refuse to leave the stage because with that stage, no matter how meager it is, they are left with themselves-and most cannot handle that with no one to give a shit about them.

234 Hunter Biden's supposed laptop? Jewish.

The contents of its hard drive? Completely fake (and also jewish).
Here's what really happened, folks: Israeli male model Shlomo Laptopowitz, globally renowned for his near perfect resemblance to a laptop snuck into Hunter Biden's house replacing Biden's real laptop. The following day Biden noticed his laptop was not working as usual (since it was now an Israeli make model) and took it to a laptop repair store that the Mossad had constructed next to his house the over the previous couple days.
Using AI that hadn't been invented yet, the Mossad (or IDF, I'm open minded) then created a dumped a bunch of completely fake images of Hunter Biden smoking crack and showing off his cock in a last ditch attempt to sink Joe Biden's campaign.
Why they'd use such a convoluted plan I'm not sure and looking back on Biden's presidency I'm also not sure why they'd wanted to keep him out of the oval office so bad, but the fact of the matter is that THEY JUST DID. You can't argue with this folks, I presented all my unprovable assertions as evidence right here.

There would be no Israel and whatever Arab state owned the territory - Jordan, Egypt, Syria, etc would be throwing homosexuals off of roof tops and the current western left would be arguing its because of western intervention in the Muslim world...

Those two were asked by John Paul Mac Isaac (owner of the store) about security for himself, since he felt a bit exposed having such information in his possession.

Bullshit.

A Macbook in 2018/19 came with at least 512GB and probably in Hunter’s case 1TB of SSD.

Plenty of room for emails, text and iMessages, and all of the photos that he had on his laptop.

We know this because the Mac guy copied the entire drive over to his own 1TB drive to recover the data after Hunter dropped it in his bathtub or a pool and fried it.

It really is silly.
The phone in Hunter’s pocket probably holds about half of the data as his laptop did.

Is he saying all of his emails, texts/messages, and photos/videos on his smaller phone won’t fit on his laptop either?

A free iCloud account only holds 5GB of data, so Hunter should show the receipts where he is paying Apple for more iCloud storage every month.

Presumptive DSA Candidate for Wisconsin Governor Once Voted Against a Law to Prohibit Teachers from Sexually Grooming Young Children

Francesca Hong thinks that banging kids is a teacher's right.

Wisconsin socialist Francesca Hong voted against anti-child grooming law responding to pervy teacher pursuing 14-year-old
By Ryan King

WASHINGTON -- Wisconsin socialist darling Francesca Hong was one of just six lawmakers in the Badger State's legislature to vote against an anti-child grooming law enacted earlier this year by Democratic Gov. Tony Evers, records show.
The law -- which bars adults from "engaging in a course of conduct, pattern of behavior, or series of acts with the intention to condition, seduce, solicit, lure, or entice a child" into sexual activity or pornography -- was in response to the case of former Kenosha school teacher Christian Enwright, who was found guilty of a slew of misdemeanor counts for pursuing a relationship with a 14-year-old student.
"[Enwright] engaged in classic grooming behavior, preying on the vulnerability of at least one female student, under the guise of being a mentor, to foster and further a predatory relationship with her," a school district investigator wrote in a report quoted by the Cap Times in December 2025.

There was no actual law against the grooming so they convicted him on a bunch of misdemeanors. Lawmakers moved to make grooming of children by a teacher a felony -- and Hong insisted that her decarceration agenda means child groomers must go free.

Enwright began reaching out to the minor on Snapchat in June 2023 and exchanged more than 600 messages with her, including sexualized comments about her appearance and images of himself in bed without a shirt.
At least two staffers had privately expressed concerns about Enwright's behavior toward female students and he had a reputation for giving "long hugs," according to the Cap Times.
Eventually, the school district's human resources team received an anonymous tip about his behavior toward the teen in February 2024 and he was arrested, charged, and fired three months later.
However, prosecutors had difficulty bringing a case against Enwright because he never had sexual contact with the girl and none of the photos he sent or asked the teen for were explicit enough to charge him with a felony under state law.
Ultimately, Enwight pleaded guilty in April 2025 to 15 misdemeanor counts of disorderly conduct and was sentenced that July to 15 months in jail and three years of probation.
The subsequent outcry lead to the Wisconsin legislature passing the anti-grooming law, with the Assembly approving it 93-6 and the state Senate passing it by voice vote.
It is unclear why Hong, the leading Democratic gubernatorial candidate ahead of Tuesday's primary, opposed the bill -- though her colleagues who voted against it suggested the measure was redundant in state law.
Hong's campaign did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The 37-year-old previously expressed support for both defunding and abolishing the police.
"Police exist to uphold white supremacy. Defund then abolish. Reform can't be an option," Hong posted on social media in October 2021, though she has since retreated from that position.
"I was actually trying to become a sports journalist when I first went to college, so I learned you sometimes have bad takes on Twitter," she recently told reporters in a bid to explain her radicalism.

Yes, she really dismissed all of her incendiary communist positions by saying that she was just doing some "bad takes on twitter."

This Democrat says he's voting Republican due to Hong's insistence that teachers should be allowed to rape their students:

Swann Marcus
@SwannMarcus89

I am now unironically likely R on the Wisconsin gubernatorial race. 7 months ago Francesca Hong voted against a bill that made it illegal for teachers to groom their students for sexual purposes
Here's what happened: A 30-year-old teacher messaged a 13-year-old student of his every day for six months and talked about how he wanted them to be together, she had a nice body, and he was jealous when she talked to other boys. He also sent her pictures of himself lying shirtless in bed
So the cops arrested him but when they went to charge him, they realized nothing he did was actually illegal. They never made sexual contact and no pictures were exchanged that were explicit enough to qualify under Wisconsin state law. This guy was actively trying to rape a 13-year-old student and there was no law forbidding his conduct
He wound up being charged with a bunch of disturbing the peace charges and only spent six months in prison for spending half a year abusing his authority as a teacher to manipulate a 13-year-old girl into having sex with him. He is not a convicted felon - since all the charges were misdemeanors - and is not on the sex offender registry
The Wisconsin State Assembly responded to this by drafting a bipartisan bill that made it a felony to engage in any course of conduct clearly and obviously intended seduce or lure a child into engaging in sexual acts or exchanging illicit images. It passed 193-6 and was signed into law by the Democratic governor. Francesca Hong voted no.
4 months later the first person was charged under the new law. He was 36-year-old man who met a developmentally disabled 16-year-old in a public park when she was 13 and spent the next three years trying to manipulate her into running away from home so he could make her his live-in sex slave.
To recap: Earlier *this very year* Franesca Hong was one of only six people to vote against a bill that made it illegal to take affirmative action designed to lure a minor into sexual acts and the very first person the bill Hong voted against was used to arrest was a guy who tried to rape an underage girl with Down Syndrome
I have never seen a Democratic candidate this bad. This is like Mark Robinson territory.

Some other Democrats see her as a sure loser in the general:

Steve Guest
@SteveGuest
CNN NewsNight EXPOSES how the woke mind virus infected the Democrat Party:
@yemisi
: "Francesca Hong is a deeply unserious person. I think we've all but lost Wisconsin if she wins this primary... We're laughing now, but this is the way a lot of people were talking. White women were apologizing to me about their own whiteness, and so Francesca Hong saying her proximity to whiteness and her biracial son makes her uncomfortable. Quite frankly, if we take that and put it in 2019, it all kinda gels and fits together."
@jasonrantz
: "Which is why it's just so ironic to hear AOC talk about woke 1.0 as if number one, she wasn't a part of it when she obviously was, and she's trying to rewrite history. But woke 2.0 is just as bad. They maybe adapted some of the language that they use, and to say, "Well, no, I've evolved from that position." The question then becomes, for anyone who says woke 1.0 was crazy, was too-- Okay, tell us what specifically. Tell us what positions were too far to one side. Was it the defunding the police? Because you'll still get the same answer out of a lot of these folks. They'll just give it in a slightly different way, but their end result is exactly the same."
@Jesse_Leg
: "Well, this is the thing, right? I actually give Francesca Hong a little bit of credit. I mean, from the perspective that Thanksgiving is good and delicious. But to AOC, I would ask the question, 'if Woke 1 was crazy, well, which priors did you hold during Woke 1 that you no longer subscribe to? Do you believe that children shouldn't be able to have sex change operations anymore? Do you believe that biological men shouldn't be able to participate in women's sports? Do you disavow defunding the police, not prosecuting repeat offenders, the border policies of the first Biden administration?' These are all very good questions, 'cause I don't haven't heard her change her mind on much of anything from Woke 1."

The primary election is today and there seems to be no chance Hong can be defeated.

Meanwhile, the GOP has run zero ads against her, because they want her to win.

"The Republicans have spent more money on TV advertising for Francesca Hong than every Democratic candidate has spent combined. Literally her entire TV footprint is Republican Super PACs. She currently has zero dollars of her own television ad buys lined up, has spent zero dollars on TV ads the entire campaign, has no support from outside money that isn’t a Republican psyop, has one-tenth of Tom Tiffany’s cash on hand, and can’t receive support from the DNC because the party is broke"

Hong is operation chaos, funded by Peter Thiel.

23 It is unclear why Hong, the leading Democratic gubernatorial candidate ahead of Tuesday's primary, opposed the bill -- though her colleagues who voted against it suggested the measure was redundant in state law.

Oh this is only hard because there are so many reasons...

1) The left supports grooming of kids as part of LGBTQ crap. Yes this is a straight male pedo, but the same laws will be used against LGBTQ groomers

2) He's a teacher, protected class.

3) The victim is probably a white girl, and Hong hates white people

Turnout differential is a thing (not even Obama's people figured out how to reverse it for his midterms).

Out of power parties tend to see higher turnout. It just happens.

However, candidate quality, especially in state-level races, can shift the balance. People are a bit less blindly partisan when it comes to races for things like governor (Larry Hogan being Republican governor of MD for a recent example, before he tanked his race for senate of the same state despite being a popular governor).

96 I did some research into the Christian Enwright case. Wow. A few observations.

1. Dude looks creepier and gayer than James Talafreako. I'm surprised his victim was a girl.

2. Girl at 13 had her own access to snapchat and TT and privately communicated with this pervert for years. Where the fuck were her parents?

3. Pervert would have succeeded in eventually raping the girl. She was "into" the grooming and even tried to protect and cover up for him when police got involved. Incredible. Groomers know who to target.

4. Wasn't just pure messaging. There were reports of inappropriate touching at school too.

5. If this was a gay pervert grooming a male student, would anything have happened? My guess is no.

Michigan Dems only nominated him by 15,000 votes, thanks to three muslim dominated towns. He got swamped in counties won/lost. Immediately after winning he threatened his opponent and demeaned the Democrats who didn't vote for him. His appeal will be further diluted when he faces a Republican, albeit a deep state Republican, who is well known and inoffensive. I'm no election analyst but this looks like a GOP pick up to me, barring some disaster.

unlike her, I have never dated women, and she's now been married to a man -as I have-for some time . It ( feminism) seems to have progressed from qualified women should be able to have to same jobs men do to " women are better than men." And no, I completely reject the idea that women are better than men. Each sex has its strengths and in a good relationship are intended to complement each other.

Everyone assumes Cooper is the favorite for a couple of reasons.

He's a former governor who left office 2 years ago who is running in an open seat, so he's effectively an incumbent. His name recognition is through the roof.

But everything else beyond that tells a different story.

The last time he won election was 2020. There were 400,000 more registered Democrats than Republicans in the state. Now, there are 10,000 more Republicans than Democrats. He won that race by 250,000 votes.

That alone should tell people that this is, at best, toss up territory.

But, polling, right? Look back at the 2020 polling of the NC senate race. Cunningham was running away with it, until he lost to Tillis in the actual election. Senate polling in general sucks (avg. movement of 7 points to the GOP from summer to election day over the past few cycles).

On top of that, Cooper left office with a couple of major issues (Helene response and something that's built up since, his soft on crime policies which led to Iryna's death).

In addition, we've seen "popular" governors of the wrong party lose federal statewide races even when still considered popular because they are of the wrong party. Think of Larry Hogan going from popular MD governor to losing by double digits in the Senate race just in 2024.

I really think Cooper is the actual underdog.

__________

AI summary of two contradictory Vandy studies of the 24 election:

A July 2025 study found that Polymarket significantly outperformed traditional polling. It found that Polymarket’s Wisdom of the Crowds approach was more accurate and dynamically responsive to real-world events, particularly in key swing states like Arizona, Georgia, and Pennsylvania. The study suggested that betting markets provided superior predictive power for the 2024 election outcome compared to conventional poll aggregators.

Conversely, a December 2025 study found that higher trading volume does not guarantee accuracy. Analyzing over 2,500 contracts they found that PredictIt was the most accurate, while Polymarket was the least accurate despite having the highest volume. The researchers attributed Polymarket’s lower accuracy to herd behavior and market manipulation (such as the "French Whale" phenomenon), suggesting that its massive liquidity introduced "noise" rather than signal.

My theory (which is based on some experience in my pro bono work) is that those who are truly serious about suicide just go ahead and do it, and can't be stopped. They just sneak out one night and jump in front of a subway (this actually happened to a kid I knew back in the day).

The rest do it 99% for attention. We had girls -- it's usually girls -- "attempt" suicide multiple times, over and over, and even went so far as to cut themselves. But each time, they almost carefully chose the time and place so that others could intervene.

But who knows? Maybe one day these attention-seekers eventually go all the way.

One thing that can't be stressed enough...

In 2000 the Dems accused the Republicans of stealing the election in FL. The FL state government made the actual ballots available along with all the election data and the left spent month forensically going through the ballots to in the end find Shrub's vote count had been undercounted by a few ballots. No fraud.

In 2020 the Reps accused the Dems of stealing the election in the 6 states that stopped counting because of a leaky sink in Atlanta. The Dems then arrest and cancelled anyone they could repeating the claims, hid and later burned the ballots, and hid every piece of information they could

Now the Rep actions after 2000 show a group of people that know the election was above board...so what do the Dem actions in 2020 show?

There are exceptions, like CA went all mail in voting making that statewide something of a lost cause, but mail in voting got a whole lot tighter in the last few years.

One starts, of course, with the fact that Biden didn't get anything remotely like the number of votes he was credited with getting. Secondly, though, is that even Democrats, or at least some of them, have a limit beyond which they will not go, and Kamala was firmly over that line between competence and utter clownishness.

I really think the base issue is that NC is more Republican than it was before, Mark Robinson's complete collapse in 2024 convinced everyone that NC is still a purple state (statewide-state level races tend to be far less purely partisan and open to character destruction having an effect).

The state has materially moved rightward over the last few years in terms of registrations and registered independents in NC have a long history of leaning hard to the right (not every state is like that).

Competitive senate races tend to drive turnout up statewide in the states that have them, helping them to reflect both overall PVI of the state and getting turnout to presidential election levels.

There is a far more likely chance that the NC senate race more closely reflects the 2024 presidential race, but everyone's acting like it's going to reflect the NC governor race.

Secondly, though, is that even Democrats, or at least some of them, have a limit beyond which they will not go, and Kamala was firmly over that line between competence and utter clownishness.

Moreover, here in California, even many Leftoid Cali Politicians of like age resent and loathe Commielah the Senatewhore turned Veepwhore. These California Leftists of like age, who are typically State Assembly members now, resent how Commielah leapfrogged over them politically by becoming the live-in Concubine of California Demunist Party Chairman Willie Brown. From there, she received plum appointed offices, and then campaign funding for elected ones. Commielah literally sucked and fucked her way to the top. Not hyperbole.

Mebbe, Mebbe not. No one knows for sure because while history has a lot of examples, whether a particular example applies to our future comes down to educated or not so educated guessing.

Vernor Vinge, sci fi writer, called it a singularity, a point at which everything after is different. He applied it to technology but the concept is broader than that.

The A-Bombs exploding as a denouement to WWII was such a time. The American and French Revolutions plus Napoleon was another.

I think the next singularity will the implosion of post war liberalism and its belief that the whole world is a bunch of human widgets that believe and act the same way.

Among the Demunists, there was and perhaps still is an internal power struggle between the Stalinst Faction (Hillary, Biden, Commielah) and the Trotskyite Faction (Bernie Sanders).

In 2016, Trotskyite Sanders was cheated out of a few state Demunist primaries that were rightfully his to win.

Now in a fair fight, I expect that Hillary Clinton would still have won the Demunist nomination. But she and the Demunist Party Politburo Appartatus could not even have *that*.

I live in Wisconsin, and in my experience, state assembly elections receive almost publicity, and have very light turnout - a perfect target for a radical to slip in. That being said, she represents Madison, aka "Mad City", the state capitol and location of the University of Wisconsin. Those people would vote for Mao or Stalin if they could. In Madison politics, Hong is a moderate.

Many years ago, I did data analysis for a multi-institutional study of suicide. The results were clear: women attempted suicide far more often than men did, but men committed suicide far more often than women did. In fact, sex was one of the principal factors in determining risk of committing suicide. (The highest risk factor was abuse of drugs and alcohol - no surprises there.)

Posted by: Nemo at August 11, 2026 03:52 PM (4RPgu)

340 This primary Election has been very interesting. The incumbent governor decided not to seek reelection probably because he wouldn't win. There were eight names on the Democratic primary ballot today. Several of those candidates dropped out when it became apparent that Hong would win. .

I've seen the PAC ads against Hong, and next to nothing from her campaign. Several of the Democratic candidates have been running ads of their own, with some PAC support. One of the Democrat candidates, David Crowley, claims that Hong is being pushed by Republicans because they think she's beatable in the general Election, and that he's the only one who stand the chance of beating the likely Republican candidate

The Republican front runner, Tom Tiffany, has been largely ignoring the Democrats, focusing on his issues. I expect his campaign to ramp up its attacks on his opponent after the primary.

I see little to no evidence to suggest anyone but Hong will be that opponent. The DSA seems to have a lot of influence in the Democratic Party, but I wonder if they have enough voter support to take over. Evidence of how much or how little support they actually have is coming in November.

The Morning Rant: The Terrorists Have Won (At Least In The UK)

Contrary to the breathless reporting about this event, Laurence Fox's stunt...threatening to display a cartoon of the 7th century pedophile Mohammad... is actually a perfect example of Islam's ascendance in the West. Fox is not a brave man fighting against the encroaching darkness of Islam; he is an observer pointing out that Islam has already won, at least in the UK.

Had Mr. Fox actually displayed an image of pedo Mo, what would the odds be that he would have been accosted at the least, and injured or killed at the worst?

Remember Charlie Hebdo? 12 dead and 11 wounded, all because Islam -- The Religion Of Peace^TM -- didn't like its drawings of their cult leader.

Remember Salman Rushdie? Islam's response to his 1988 book, The Satanic Verses drove him into hiding for years, and culminated in a failed assassination attempt that blinded him in one eye, 35 years after publication!

Best clip from the Oxford Union in a long time. A speaker suggests that he is about to display a cartoon of Muhammad to prove that Islam has a problem with free speech.

People scramble frantically to stop him: It is against the rules, unnecessary, irrelevant, disrespectful, and... pic.twitter.com/oRJ6MCXQOz
— Champagne Scar (@champagne_scar) August 6, 2026

Islam controls the narrative in many places in the West. Yes, it is probably most powerful in the UK, but France and Belgium and the Netherlands and Germany and Canada and Spain and perhaps others are also on the road to sharia law and the complete destruction of free speech.

"Free Speech" is of necessity and by definition offensive, challenging, disturbing, and subverts the dominant paradigm. Otherwise it is just talk, without substance and without any meaning or import.

The West needs to push back forcefully against any challenge to our free speech rights. Anything less than a full-throated defense of our God-given, natural right to speak as we see fit will result in the loss of more than just free speech!

Critical Commentary: Farage has a long history of making cautionary or critical remarks about the integration of some Muslims, claiming that a growing number do not share British values.

Opposition to Sectarianism: He has publicly warned against what he describes as rising religious sectarianism and political Islam, rather than endorsing the religion.

Prior Statements: When questioned about the religion itself, he has stated that outlawing Islam is not a workable solution ("the West will lose"), but his political platform focuses heavily on restricting mass migration and challenging public religious observances

26 Being that UK is now Islamic, they have to be removed from Five Eyes since now that program is completely compromised.

Another thing is Article 5 of the NATO pact. The only time it has it been used: post September 11th, 2001 due to internal terrorists attacks. What this means is that each member nation is required to act as if an attack on one NATO member is equivalent to an attack on all. There is obvious flexibility on what a country's response might look like.

Can Article 5 be a legal trigger within the US to respond to UK falling to Islam and becoming a caliphate and the total destruction of the UK citizen's rights (such as they are as a subject rather than citizen) for the US to take dramatic action and treat as The Enemy Islam within the US?

27 🚨 Cambridge University: first the Jason Arday disaster, now this.
They’ve appointed Farah Ahmed as Assistant Professor of Education — a woman who called Western education a “threat” to Muslims, democracy a “corrupt tradition,” and literacy plus qualifications un-Islamic. She attacked English literature as damaging, condemned treating Islam as just one religion among others, and criticised schools for teaching that child marriage is wrong.😑

Same faculty. Same total collapse of standards. Shocking doesn’t begin to cover it.

The Delaware County Council unanimously appointed 12 local individuals to serve three-year terms on the county's newly established Human Relations Commission, which acts as the county's official anti-discrimination and civil rights enforcement agency. It explicitly covers discrimination based on race, color, religious creed, ancestry, age, sex, national origin, handicap or disability, use of guide or support animals, sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression.

They are tasked with handling inquiries and mediating discrimination complaints regarding Housing, Employment, Public accommodations, and Healthcare.

The immediate focus for the inaugural members is completing specialized state and legal training before the county communications team officially opens up the public portal to accept civil rights and discrimination inquiries.

The commission is structured to resolve disputes locally, aiming to settle issues through mediation before escalating to formal legal hearings or penalties. (Process: complaint filing; jurisdictional review; mandatory mediation; finding & enforcement)

95 Funny. Tennis gets it.

Every player has to be tested. Even the ones nobody ever asked about.

Since 21 July, a ranking and an accepted entry are no longer enough to play a WTA tournament. Every player has to take a genetic test first. A cheek swab, saliva or blood sample is screened for the SRY gene, which sits on the Y chromosome and triggers male sex development before birth.

A negative result clears a player for the rest of her career. A positive one removes her from competition while a medical review runs. Refusing the test can bring disciplinary action.

The rule applies to everyone, including players nobody has ever questioned. There are no known transgender women in professional tennis at any level. The last one competed between 1977 and 1981.

Doctors and human rights groups argue that one gene cannot capture how sex development actually works, and that the people most likely to be caught by it are intersex athletes who may not know their own status.

111 Philadelphia has one of the largest and most vibrant Muslim populations in the United States, deeply rooted in African American history, civic leadership, and a rich mosaic of immigrant communities. An estimated 150,000 to 200,000 Muslims live in the metropolitan area, giving the city one of the highest proportions of Muslims of any major U.S. city.

Southeast Pennsylvania is home to a diverse, historic, and growing Muslim population. Centered heavily around Philadelphia and its surrounding counties (like Delaware, Montgomery, Bucks, and Chester), the community includes African American Muslims, South Asian, Middle Eastern, North/East African, and Southeast Asian immigrants, alongside active local organizations and advocacy groups like CAIR Philadelphia.

118 McKinney, TX city council recently voted 7-0 to allow a mosque and Islamic center there…. People showed up to speak against it and were not heard. Cowardly

I don't have the knowledge to say either way, but I've heard a lot of people in that area say that Greg Abbot supports Islam, which is why there's a lot of Islamic activity in the state.

I think the real reason is twofold.

One, zoning and development approval is -- and always has been -- hopelessly corrupt. Any time a big development wants to get built, the developers and their subcontractor remoras start greasing palms, both legally and illegally. I guarantee if you dig deep enough, you'll find that all 7 of these guys were bought.

Two: the US constitution and federal laws forbid discrimination on the basis of religion. You can't deny approval to build a mosque because it's Muslim. If the council voted down this proposal, they'd all be sued.

Sadly, these laws were put in place long before we understood how dangerous and barbaric Islam is. It's not a religion. It's a bloody fascist cult -- basically the cannibal Thugee fanatics from Temple of Doom.

131 In the West, there's a big, problem minority of people who believe in free speech, at least to some degree. I reckon it's about 25-30% percent.

There's a similarly sized group who hate it with a passion, and constitute most if the ruling class, and its hangers-on.

There's a much larger group who sympathize with group 1 up to a point, but always side with group 2 from fear of it, making them an effective subgroup of group 2.

IOW, free speech still exists in the West - again, at least to some degree - but to call it some kind of characteristic of Western countries is a gross exaggeration.

It threatens the status quo in these societies and acts as a destabilizing force to their broad masses, and is either hated, resented, or studiously ignored by most of them.

Do not ever make the mistake of believing freedom of conscience and expression are Western values. A barely restrained intolerance of them is a Western value.

Yes, for sure. But a lot of this donation money never even gets that far. I can literally set up a PAC called "Give Me Money To Harass Bad Orange Man" and beg for money from dumb leftwing retards (and AWFuLs).

I assume all these big-time donation machines are a bit of both (and paying out to consultants that are your uncles and cousins and companies you own, etc).

I was describing the bare-bones scam model that predominates the low end. Just one dude literally scamming gullible seniors, AWFuLs with more money than brains, etc.

Paying yourself a 99% salary also works, but that's more complicated. And states (and the feds) rarely police charities. But they do police income taxes and/or 1099s, as well as required workers' comp, insurance, etc.

We went there a lot. Big family.

Only rich people had AC back then, so it was a nice way to get of the house on a hot summer night

This was before the fam moved to Alaska. There were a few attempts at drive-ins here, but it was too light at night in the summer and too cold in the winter. At least one had space heaters on the poles next to the speakers that you could bring into your car.

The only room y' never wanted to go in at the Penny Arcade was the one in the far end of the place in the left rear of the store. It had a long curtain that guys would pull back to enter - and if you stood next to it long enough checking out the other things, you'd hear 'Unnnnnhhhh!' and 'Mmmm!' and 'Oooohhhhh …'. din't need to be a rocket scientist to know what that meant …

170 Twenty Cent Movie
Reginald Marsh

Nice article, Whitney Museum of American Art, Reginald Marsh, Recto: Twenty Cent Movie, Verso: (Study for figures) 1936

They - theaters such as the Lyric - held some great, old traditions that extended some decades past the 1930's. (There were long term relationships came from those movie meetups that, after mid-century, often featured some of the worst horror movies, too, and then the audiences added commentary on top of that. (A really bad movie, you could laughing through the entire show.) Now, Runway and streaming.

Aside: Didn't we have another painting, different artist, that had the Lyric Theater of NYC in its background?

Very frustrating to read and its timing was curious. Novo Nordisk had just reported the results of a large study into the use of anti-inflammatory drugs to prevent/treat atherosclerosis. The drug was very good at reducing inflammation, but there was no improvement at all in mortality from atherosclerosis. Did Big Pharma rush to the NY Times to push out a slop article on the wonders of anti-inflammatories?

I learned long ago due to the workload of churning out publish or perish that you basically had to act like a potter. You throw a glop on the wheel with some idea about what to write and then spend the rest of the time shaping the glop into something useful. Otherwise, you can get writer's block. I grew up in the age of typewriters where it was a literal pita to correct and you were painfully worried about a typo, not only because of the pita it was to correct, but writing was viewed more as thou shalt not....."

Nowadays, I just put it down--redraft as needed--usually the second or third draft. And I don't sweat the clunky writing style nor grammar mistakes on the first draft anymore.

For formal submissions, you clean it up, otherwise, I simply don't worry about it anymore. In a lot of cases, on computer drafting, I am often rewrite to clarify as I go here which means sometimes verb tense, plural mentions, punctuation, etc. go by the wayside. Because it is as much to clarify in my head my own arguments by writing them down as it is for others. And sometimes what I put out mystifies even me.

216 USDA recalled 12,036 pounds of Canadian bacon that entered U.S. stores without required federal inspection, affecting Royale Natural and TOP VALU products in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington.

The bacon bypassed mandatory import reinspection, prompting the USDA’s most serious recall classification, though no pathogens were found and no illnesses were reported.

Packages with September 2026 sell-by dates bearing “EST. 1” should be thrown away or returned. Consumers with questions can call the USDA hotline at 888-674-6854

It would be interesting to know how the shipment "bypassed" USDA inspection. Was it a lapse by the inspectors responsible, a fuckup by the driver of the truck (sounds like one truckload), or a concerted effort to evade inspection?

Every successful YT channel, no matter how niche, has someone copy/pasting the content. Usually Indians or Africans.

Lots of those podcast movie "reaction" videos, cut/pasted short clips together with some dot Indian guy at the end doing a short 20 second outtro while holding a tiny little microphone up to his mouth. That's relatively honest.

On the other hand, you have AI thieves who take the whole video, change the voice and then cut/paste some random guy into the vid duplicating the content, word for word. Happens a lot in guitar instruction vids (Rhett Shull was recently bitching about the latest one, where they didn't bother to even change the background from his basement studio, while also stealing his content)

Actually, it should all be thrown out for mislabeling Canuckian ham as "bacon". There's nothing "bacon" about that stuff. I mean, it's reasonably tasty ham, but Canadian Bacon tries to fool you with the name. The only thing they have in common is that they come from the same animal.

The Morning Report — 8/ 11 /26

Good morning kids.

First up there are reports from of a massive earthquake that rocked Colombia yesterday morning. Prayers up for all those affected and for rescue and recovery crews.

The Geological Service of Colombia confirmed a magnitude 7.4 earthquake rocking the country around 7:34 a.m. local time in the western region of Chocó, potentially causing significant damage. . . In the city of Cali, locals documented buildings with their windows broken and streets covered in glass and other debris.

Yikes, 7.4 is pretty damn significant. I have not seen any follow ups so hopefully things are under control and the people are getting on with the business of life as they dig out and begin the process of rebuilding and recovery. Considering the aftershocks of the political earthquake that led to the ejection of Commie strongman Gustavo Petro just a short while ago, it will certainly be a test for the newly elected government to see how fast and effectively it can respond. I'm sure President Trump will be quick to offer whatever assistance we can, as would be right and proper all things considered. One of the truly shining successes of the Trump administration has been his stunning success in turning much of Latin America away from the disaster of socialist rule as can especially be seen in Argentina and El Salvador just to name two countries that are now effectively in the Trump/freedom camp.

Unfortunately, the rest of the world is devolving into tyranny. Most notably England, from whence America emerged just 250 short years ago. Here are two horrible stories coming from across the pond that illustrate its rapid disintegration.

First, shopping can ruin one's day...

One social media user questioned whether carrying a baseball bat from a store should be treated as suspicious, writing, “Assuming this is all innocent. Are people not allowed to play baseball on the fields anymore? We may as well ban anything that potentially can be used as a weapon, which is most things in shops.” Another user argued apparently sincerely that the officer's response was understandable given the circumstances. “To be fair I wouldn't be happy seeing a guy just roaming around with a baseball bat in a densely packed public place, package or no package. copper decided to err on the side of caution and probably asked him to hand the bat over many times before it got to this point.”

Yeah, a bloke toting around a packaged and sealed baseball bat is a clear and present danger, but roving bands of Muslim males prowling for girls and women to rape, that's in the deepest traditions of civilization, so how dare you!

And if you even raise an eyebrow let alone open your pie-hole . . . Yeah that neanderthal, primitive dangerous thing known as freedom of speech, about that...

The National Internet Intelligence Investigations unit notified local police about 106 posts, with 50 of those flagged in June alone, in the aftermath of disclosures surrounding the murder of teenager Henry Nowak. Nowak was stabbed to death by Vikrum Digwa, and his pleas for help were reportedly ignored by officers who doubted the dying student after his killer claimed to be a victim of racism.

well one day President Francesca Hong will deliver a Thanksgiving Homily all about how wonderful it is that we did away with it...

It was a true period piece. One year before Wisconsin gubernatorial hopeful Francesca Hong called to "Cancel Thanksgiving," the socialist state representative, who is a professional chef, in October 2019 hosted an event she dubbed a "Feast of the Feminine," a "6course [sic] dinner inspired by menstruation." An invitation posted to the events website Eventbrite describes the "feast" as a "celebration of menstruation with conversation and dinner." It also lists a menu featuring on-theme ingredients like "Soondae-Korean blood sausage."

Soondae bloody Soondae . . . capped off by a serving of Titty Caca AOC's Huevos Diabolicos!

Meh, personally I prefer Carvel's Tom Turkey cake myself. With all these nightmares to ponder, I bid you all to somehow

Have a good day,

ABOVE THE FOLD, BREAKING, NOTEWORTHY

The earthquake has already prompted at least one aftershock recorded at upwards of magnitude four. Locals in Chocó, Cali, and throughout the west of the country had recorded alarming videos of buildings swaying, their windows crashing down and leaving trails of debris on the streets. At press time, however, authorities have not documented any deaths, though local officials in Chocó warned that they expect a high number of casualties.

77 AI-powered phone trees are terrible. I try to avoid them whenever possible. I can't imagine how that's going to work for 911 calls.

Since the US is no longer a monoculture, and no longer has a de facto "official language", E9-1-1 services through AI is probably the only way to legally provide mandated services to non English speakers without having to have dozens upon dozens of translators sitting around waiting for a call.

It depends on what problem you are trying to solve. Since the politicians look at Heritage Americans as diseased livestock, its a slam dunk guarantee that if the Give & Take on finding a solution to a real or contrived problem involves some Taking, that Taking will always dope towards deprecating the Heritage American's culture, lifestyle and interests.

Does NASA not get the fuckin internet?

America may have just found a critical minerals mother lode beneath Nevada’s Railroad Valley: An estimated 1.78 million tons of tungsten, alongside enormous lithium, potash, and boron resources.

NASA opposes mining on about one-third of the company’s claims. The agency uses the flat Nevada desert to calibrate satellite instruments and says mining would interfere with a unique site used to receive and verify satellite signals.

The flattest place on Earth is the Salar de Uyuni, located in Bolivia, which is the largest salt flat in the world, covering an area of approximately 10,582 square kilometers (4,086 square miles).

101 Last week a statement was issued "by McConnell's staff" saying he'd be recuperating at an undisclosed location (or home) and would be unable to resume his Senate duties at this time. Or something like that.

It's an obvious ploy to keep the KY governor from appointing anyone to replace him, or have KY go through the motions to do it. The GOP just has to keep the ruse going until January... when McConnell would have retired. IOW... he's dead or a vegetable. Or both.

It also deprives the GOP of a vote on other things. Not that it'd have made any difference one way or the other. But it's typical of the GOP. Unlike the Democrats who have someone stand in for Mad Maxine Waters who's not been heard from for about the same amount of time... yet is voting according to leftism's doctrine.

People are there every day taking beautiful pictures of our pair.

Agree. He's a good law explainer but he is also close friends with Andy McCarthy so his allegiances are somewhat questionable.

Particularly when we've know all this about Brennan, Comey and Clapper for years. This is not breaking news to anyone who has followed this closely but the vast majority of people don't know this level of detail. Ship should know it.

They tried to take Trump down in 2016. They succeeded in 2020 but against all odds Trump has got them on the run now.

Well, digital radio tuning is a perfect example, it has clear cut points 101.1, 101.2, etc. and you either have a sufficient signal or you get dead air. IRRL, the old analog tuners could tune between the gaps to pick up scratchy stations that a digital tuner rejects because an analog tuner discards no information.

Same as an analog picture on Kodachrome film has all the colors as they are (albeit the nice glow from the film) while a digitalized version has to silo each color by a specific specification.

Most digital algorithms due to computing resources drop a lot of information--aka lossy compression that allows us to watch streaming on tv without overwhelming the bandwidth. You can even still record a 'lossless' version of a song on digital but yet still miss sound information present on an analog record because of sampling to create the digital version.

Your comment could be equally applied to Fauci and his team of ghouls. I don't think the true implications of their actions have sunk in yet. They knowingly told pregnant women to get the vaccines and they were safe when they knew they weren't safe for pregnant women at all.

And that was just one evil thing they did. I have no doubt that many more in the Biden administration knew all of this as well.

Geraldo dismisses past woke and radical positions by radical Democrats as crazy stuff they said as "kids."

"They're running away from those statements they may have made in the past."

"They're not all of a sudden gonna become commies."

"Their statements as kids were ridiculous. But that's not what they really are as grownups."

Just some wacky kids who are now grown up and didn't really mean anything they said.

This may be the most comical attempt to whitewash the woke we've heard yet. Just excellent work here, Geraldo.

When I did empirical modeling research, for me, the key was triangulating sources, data, etc. then trying to incorporate the different explanations of a phenomenon (political in my case) in a model.

If you excluded any that others had found relevant, you risked mis-specifying your model which essentially means it is trash because excluding a key variable meant the relationship of the remaining variables in the model could not correctly be attributed in strength and even causal relationship with the dependent variable.

Legal commenters don't do that as they tend to advocate rather than analyze--different mindset.

According to AI...

No, there is no confirmed case where a Catholic politician has been formally excommunicated specifically for supporting abortion legislation. While Canon 1398 mandates automatic excommunication (latae sententiae) for those who directly "procure" a completed abortion, canon lawyers and church officials consistently clarify that this penalty applies to direct participants (such as doctors or patients) rather than legislators who vote for laws permitting the procedure.

I've given up most predictions nowadays because we are not in normal times anymore--sort of like a prof of mine who spent his entire career until his late sixties analyzing who was up and who was down in the Soviet system. Then all hell broke loose when the wall fell and he told me that prior to that, Soviet research was all very nice and cozy--then came a totally new paradigm that was simply beyond the old scholar's understanding.

I think we are there in politics and world affairs--the old cozy globalizing world order is dying and domestic politics has deteriorated to the point that the old understandings are being swept away.

Letting Comey and co get away with it is will cause consequences, so will not letting them get away with it. Exactly what either situation unleashes, I don't think anyone really knows. Same for the vaxx information and Fauci, same for the other rottenness in the American and world system created by a host of talentless political hacks that deemed themselves as demigods like Prometheus.

I think just about everything going on these days has both domestic implications as well as global including the various conflicts Trump has started since retaking office.

The collapse of one of Singham's non-profits yesterday is really about China's influence in the US political system. They were also behind the BLM summer of love riots across America right before the election that magically disappeared after the election. Not a chance in hell our cracker jack intel community wasn't both aware and likely supportive.

Yep. That used to be the way that a guy could make a living in Hollywood. Hopping from bit parts from tv shows to a small part in a movie.

Seems to be still that way in UK. Due to its geographic compactness, you can be in a short TV series, hop into a stage play in London on the break, and then appear in a movie. Same network effect existed for the British invasion bands--they all knew of each other if not friendz and shared a pub, dancehall, etc. touring, recording, and being able to sleep in their own bed from somewhere like London.

Hollyweird imploded the whole Hollywood ecosystem with the backlots being sold for housing, and filming on location. Now it is spread across the US at various nodes and a number of the TV shows shoot in Canada due to cheaper costs.

2) Northerners moving to the south. I see this one a lot personally - people that I know that grew up in the North/North east that move to AZ or FL and then say the summers are way, way hotter then they remember as kids. Well...duh.

The footage shows organized juveniles clashing inside a New York City McDonald's, part of a pattern of 'teen takeovers' advertised on social media at fast-food spots and malls. Affected locations in Brooklyn, Queens, and beyond now ban unaccompanied teens under 20 and hire private security to restore order.

Some research into the Bloody Codes of British History argue that. The Enclosures of the Commons led to widespread problems in urban areas of violent criminals, etc. and the English Civil War did not help matters, so a draconian Bloody Code using capital punishment liberally and lengthy imprisonments for even what we would call petty crimes today basically killed the violent criminal class off for awhile in the UK.

381 What out betters are reading:

1873: The Rothschilds, the First Great Depression, and the Making of the Modern World

With excessive euphoria leading to disappointed expectations, in the early 1870s the bubble burst. Stock markets from Vienna to New York crashed, and dozens of railroads and many governments defaulted. Financial officials responded by blundering into a precipitous remaking of the global currency system—exacerbating the ensuing economic collapse and setting the stage for decades of a punitive deflation that sparked waves of anti-globalist populism. As Liaquat Ahamed shows us in this enthralling history, the crisis of 1873 was, among other things, a death blow to Reconstruction in the United States and the proximate cause of the Ottoman Empire’s slow death spiral. Ironically, though the Rothschilds had presciently kept a low profile during the bubble, when the deluge came, they were viciously scapegoated as part of a wider hatred directed at “Jewish finance,” a strain of antisemitism that would come to full evil flower during the twentieth century.

399 Good Morning, all, and thanks, J.J.

From above, 'Ocasio-Cortez says she’s freezing her eggs as she decides her next political moves'

Yup. Sandy Ocasio posted on social media she had to pay $8,000 completely out of pocket for an egg-freezing procedure - despite benefiting from top-tier "government" insurance as a congresswoman.

She, as are other members of Congress, is legally required to purchase health insurance through the DC Health Link SHOP marketplace. She/They can choose from dozens of Gold-level private health insurance plans with the federal government covering roughly 72% of their premium costs.

But since it's an employer-subsidized marketplace plan - and such self-insured plans are regulated by federal law under ERISA, i.e., exempt from states' IVF requirements - her specific congressional plan "did not cover one penny" of the fertility preservation process.

Further - and though not her current, specific issue with IVF coverage - traditional Original Medicare explicitly excludes coverage for in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments.

CNN, May 21, 2026, Trump promised no-cost IVF treatment for all. That’s still a long way off

Therefore, it seems that as the queen of half truths, she's using her alleged experience to steal the administration's thunder and campaign for expanded federal fertility mandates/Medicare for All.

All-in-all, it's well thought out PR & a public attack if it steals the administration's thunder.

The article says the tax would cost Brin $13 billion, but if so they have revised it. The original language would have hit Brin and Google co-founder Larry Page particularly hard due to how voting rights are assigned for their shares, sending his tax liabilities soaring to around $50 billion.
Speaking of demented billionaires, Mark Zuckerberg wrote an essay on why we should be thankful for AI. (Tech Crunch)

Don’t operate your display in areas with significant amounts of airborne dust, or smoke
from cigarettes, cigars, ashtrays, stoves, or fireplaces, or near an ultrasonic humidifier
using unfiltered tap water.

Tiny airborne particles produced by smoking, cooking, burning, or using an ultrasonic humidifier with unfiltered water may, in rare instances,
enter the *ventilation openings* of your display and, under certain conditions, result in a
slight haze on the inside surface of the glass panel that covers the display.

I am also grateful for the conversation of the other posters. I tried not to tune into news most of the day. It felt good

At the gardens yesterday morning I saw a hummingbird, and lovely flowers including Black Eyed Susans, Purple Topped Vervain , Swamp Rose Mallow and Great Blue Lobelia.
There were also toadstools the size of very small unbrellas if you are an elf.

There were also lovely people including two co workers ( I think ) one of whom wished that I had a blessed day and a women sitting on a bench in the garden who told me she was enjoying the bird song . Even if you are a naturally a sort of introverted person. It can improve your day if you say kind things to others.

32 The world didn't end because someone invented hydraulics. The world didn't end when we discovered the lever or the wheel. And the world won't end just because AI can do some things faster than a human can.

AI is just another machine. Use it to your advantage, or don't. The fretting that we face annihilation because it's "smarter than us" is a red herring. Of course it's "smarter than us", that's the point of it. There are about four billion people on earth who have at least four billion other people who are "smarter than them", and they're not all facing an apocalypse. Most people can bench more than I can, and i'm not dead yet.

It hasn't reached critical, yet, but it has caused some gaming studios to begin to actually optimize their games better since so many people can't upgrade their RAM or GPUs due to prices.

The next real hurdle comes next year or '28 when Xbox and Sony release their new consoles and then the gaming industry will tailor their games to meet the new tech's specs.

We can only cross our fingers and wait for the bubble to pop or deflate and bring prices back down to Earth.

If it keeps up for more than a year or two a lot of PC & Gaming focused companies will be bankrupt.

Just for fun, I tried to use the AI/Gemini mode of Google to look up some tires for a tractor I just got. I asked for recommendations in a certain size, and it gave me some. Neat. How much? $XYZ dollars. Lovely. Who has them? Oh, no, they don't make them in that size, but you can get one of these other two styles. OK, fine, how much and where? They don't come in that size, either.

The real kick in the ass is just how terrible searching for anything normally without AI has become. "Show me tires with this tread pattern in 20x8.00-8". Sure thing, Chief, here's ten pages of nothing even remotely close to that size, a few busted links to some defunct company's homepage, and a couple reddit posts about feeling tired all the time.

49 @17/Pete Bog: "Will the prices for GPU and memory chips push the PC gaming business deeper into the hole from which they cannot extricate themselves?"

It's going to hurt them somewhat. Not sure it'll be a hole they can't get out of but you should expect to see a lot of layoffs. They will have to focus on producing games for the hardware that most people already own because gamers aren't buying a whole lot of new machines or custom parts because of the insane prices of memory, gpus, and storage right now.

What will further keep them on building games for existing/older hardware is the damage to the hardware sales channels (wholesale and retail) that will happen if they can't sell to end customers due to the prices.

The first sign will minimal staffing. The second sign will be the sale and lack of restocking of lower priced items as the stores start to canibalize themselves to stay afloat. After that it's the "Going out of business" or liquidation sale, at which point it's already too late to save them.

Once again: This bubble can not pop fast enough.

Some retail websites are really good at filtering and giving accurate results.

Some just run a search through their entire database and you get back anything that remotely resembles your search terms.
If you've got a large parts catalog, like auto parts or industrial supply, it's a beast to corral that much data.

You've got to find one or two sites that you like these days, and stick with them. RockAuto is pretty good with their search interface as an example.

The house I had my eye on yesterday, my agent said, already has an offer on it. It would have been perfect for me, and in a perfect location. It had only been on Realtor for two days. Grrrr. I'll ask him again to check on its status; it's still showing as "For Sale."

80 Steve Burke at Gamers Nexus did a video last week about AI crawlers scanning his website to lift all the information, charts, and other results on the products they've tested over the years.

Because Steve has this crazy idea that people should come to his website to read his reviews and testing results, he's kind of P.O.'d at the AI corps.

So to help solve this problem he got together with Wendell at Level1Techs and came up with an idea to embed a tiny graphic within his other charts and graphs. That tiny graphic contains a lot of text readable only by AI.

So in addition to the info in the charts, AI is also getting such things as: "Nose-Normalized Chocolate Chip Cookies - 27 dBA Full Torture Edition" with ingredient such as: "2 Large Eggs, preferably with unobstructed front intake".

It seems like a wonderful (and entertaining) idea to me.

I've been bitching about this for a long while. Google is some kind of perverse anti-search engine. It works well for very little now. It's hard to believe it's not intentional because you normally have to try to suck this hard.
Posted by: bear with asymmetrical balls at August 11, 2026 05:54 AM (g9zlb)

Here's my concern. As AI grows in importance to these companies, all the tools and means by which they curated and made searchable information will wither and die or at least never be improved. The copper landlines of the internet, so to speak.

This may surprise them, but some of us are quite good at looking for information. I have spent the better part of a year on Google Scholar running down literature articles on single-site olefin polymerization catalysts. The search engine for GS is hopeless. The organization of results is worse. Exporting results is a joke. I spent a month plugging 6900 digital object identifiers into it one at a time looking for citations with an attached PDF. And now that they have AI? It will be much, much worse.

97 @82/NR Pax: "and don't be afraid to walk away."

This works as the seller too. A friend of mine was trying to sell his property, and they have an agreement in principle already on a price and conditions. Then he gets a call from his real-estate agent with a bunch of mostly-last-minute demands the buyer tried to saddle him with or they'd walk away from the purchase. (The buyers were Chinese, and apparently this type of negotiation strategy is common with them, at least in this geographic area.)

My friend's response? "We walk away. The deal's off if they don't take the original deal we agreed on."

The response got delivered. The buyer gave the go-ahead to proceed with the purchase on the original terms, and paperwork got signed accordingly.

The real estate agent later told my friend he loved his hard-line response. Most people cave, and give away a bunch of money they didn't have to, because they're desperate to sell, and that's why buyers try that crap. He said it was a joy to be working with someone who wasn't desperate because he didn't get the option to deliver "F you, take it or leave it" terms very often.

We had a similar situation. Found a house we liked well enough to make an offer on. Wee, highest bidder at asking price. Seller's realtor relays some insane page-long letter by the seller of all these baffling, self-contradicting little technicalities and conditions and obfuscations for us to abide by. We told our realtor "Absolutely not." Any counter offer? Yeah, sure we got a counter offer, but it wouldn't be polite to say out loud. She happily sent along our two word response verbatim.

Then we found a better house a few weeks later.

When we first moved to Texas we immediately found a house we loved, but it was contingent. They were building a new house some miles away and they had a contract they wanted us to sign if we bought the house. They wanted to stay in the house for 4 months after they sold it to us and pay $400 a month in rent with an option to extend that to 6 six months if they ran into construction issues. They couldn't start construction until they sold their current house.

We were not happy and told the real estate agent we would have never went to see the house if they had told us that upfront.

138 Last night we watched on DVD a 1951 drama with Bette Davis and Barry Sullivan, Payment on Demand. It's part of the "Warners Classics Collection," but no closed captions. Grrrr.

Still, pretty solid drama, with Bette and Barry as a suburban couple (he's a lawyer) who have been married for twenty years and have two grown girls. (One was played by Betty Lou, some years later to be Barney's girlfriend on Andy Griffith.) Suddenly he wants a divorce -- still a shocking subject in 1951, I guess. She's gotten to be so focused on success and social climbing that he doesn't recognize her anymore.

Davis plays the woman's present-day self -- and the younger version in flashbacks -- with her usual style.

146 Stirling tossed up a hairball a few minutes ago. I had time to scoop him up and get him onto the kitchen tile floor.

One time, my Benvolio let out a howl that indicated everything in his stomach was about to come out. I got to him right as he started horking and held him over the toilet in a restraining hold.

The little bastard exerted control of his innards to the point that whatever was coming out went back down and he was mad at me for a few hours.

It is. Davis's character goes from a happy young bride who helps her newly-minted lawyer husband in his fledgling office, to what another, more established woman says is a "ruthless social climber," and then to a woman who deliberately and coldly demands *everything* in their divorce.

She discovers, though, that being alone in life is not something she wants.

168 @125/Mister Scott: "We were not happy and told the real estate agent we would have never went to see the house if they had told us that upfront."

There are a LOT of tire-kicking buyers who will waste your time when you're selling. They have various motives, a lot of it is boredom though. I hate these people SO much, they just gum up the works. Agents around here are legally required to bring you every offer, and I think these timewasting idjits know this.

Surprisingly, there are apparently a lot of sellers who are the mirror___ of these tire-kickers, throwing sand in the gears of a potential deal because it amuses them. Keep the deal's terms simple and stick to them. It's not difficult.

The perfect close-date, the seller has moved everything out and is already gone by zero hour. The place is relatively clean and almost ready to move in after a couple of hours of effort.

Second to that is this:

I got so I had to bring the carrier out a day or so early, to give Arizona the big red tabby time to panic and recover. Then, when he didn't expect it, I'd scoop him up and pop him into the carrier head first. He'd stick out his back paws to resist, but I'd get him packed into the slammer. He'd turn and come up to the gate as I was locking it. Always I expected him to nip my fingers, but he never did, just gave me a look that said, "Okay, you win this round, but next time --!"

Considering I moved him to a new apartment almost every two years of his life, he had a right to be bothered.

Monday Night ONT - August 10, 2026 [TRex]

Good evening Horde. The time has come for Monday shenanigans. The bar is open and freshly re-stocked. A&W Rootbeer for everyone tonight!

Welcome to the Monday night ONT which means vintage overnight fun and games. Pull up a chair and join the fun. Good will offerings of amusing puns are encouraged. Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors. Pants are optional. This ONT is a Tucker, Candace, Megyn, and Bill Kristol free zone. Fauci is fair game.

[Top photo: If AOP lived in Pie Town, New Mexico in 1940, this would have been him. I'm more surprised to learn there is a town in New Mexico named after pie, but the place is reportedly famous for its homemade pies. If you're going to be known for something, it might as well be pies, right?]

***

The Monday ONT has dialed up the wayback machine tonight with very random results.

Giant Forest, Sequoia National Park - July 1935. No, I don't know why these women were riding horses on top of the fallen Sequoia.

Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad Locomotive 470 - date unknown.

20260719-chicago-rock-island-and-pacific-railroad-locomotive-nodateknown.jpg

Dime Savings Bank at the intersection of Woodward Avenue and Willis Street, Detroit, Michigan - circa 1910-1912

20260719-dime-savings-bank-woodward-and-willis-branch-detroit-mich.jpg

Dixie Bottling Works on Lee Street in Bristol, Virginia (the town that straddles the Tennessee and Virginia state line) - 1915

Horse drawn tram in Berzelii park, Stockholm, Sweden - circa 1900. Can anyone pronounce the word on the front of the tram?

20260719-horse-drawn-tram-in-stockholm-c-1900-4ea89d.jpg

Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania - 1980

20260719-independence-national-historical-park-walnut-sixth-chestnut-and-second-streets-15-1980.jpg

Please do not molest the bears at Sequoia National Park (or anywhere else for that matter)

Baldwin Chevrolet in Baldwin, Long Island, New York - 1968. Anyone know what the "Fantastic Five" means without looking it up?

Can't find any evidence that Jo Jo's Kountry Kitchen in Camden, Alabama is still open. Anyone know the place?

Apparently smoking while riding the Merry Go Round was a thing at the fair in Rutland, Vermont in 1941.

26 Re: Pietown

Definitely a better town name than, say, "Explosive Dysentery Town".

Re: molesting wildlife

At one time that's the term Alaska Statutes used (or maybe still uses).

I know this because a guy I used to know got caught using the Spenard Sportfishing technique (bashing salmon with rocks then wading out to pick them up). The charge was "molesting wildlife", which I gather provided a great deal of amusement for the other guys on the chain when they were brought in for arraignment the next morning.

As he told the tale, several of them caught contempt charges because they couldn't stop laughing.

27 Evening, TRex, and ONT Horde. I think I passed through Pie Town, NM, once. I do have a chain block very similar to the one pictured, although the one I routinely use is more modern. The car might be an early '30's Chevy. Not a Ford, for sure.

28 I would guess the "Fantastic Five" are the five 427 Chevys listed to the right of that slogan - Camero, Chevelle, Chevrolet, Corvette, and Chevy II

Now that you made me actually go back and read it, I'm not sure why "Chevrolet" is in that list of model names. IIRC, there was an Impala SS. Can't think of any other SS models offhand.

Some guy in Brazil is suing the state because a crooked cop swiped his Luger Parabellum that was owned by Schickelgruber. He claims it's worth $42 million.

It wasn't the Hitler Killer, since that was a Walther PPK, and it disappeared in the chaos that reigned in the Bunker after Der Fuhrer offed himself. That one would be worth a pretty penny if you could establish its provenance.

Grandpa was a gas station owner and was his own mechanic. Dad said they went on vacation for a week when he was a kid, and broke the car axle on the way back home. Even though Grandpa was able to walk down from where it broke down to a garage that had one in stock, he cussed the entire time since it was the first time his hands had been completely clean for years.

104 I have a bumper hitch that fit on those cars from the 30's with the flat bumpers. Henry Ford had this idea of having harley build what eventually became the servi-car, which was a 3 wheel trike with a harley flathead engine. You might recognize them as the old 3 wheel things that ice cream vendors used. Ford's original purpose was to have ford mechanics show up at your home or place of work, use a bumper hitch designed for the servi-car that clamped around the bumper. and then they could tow your car in for service and then deliver it back to you. Ford, fucking scumbag that he was, kept changing specs and requirements for the servi-car hoping that it would bankrupt harley so he could buy the company for pennies. Harley said fuck you henry, and produced it how they liked it, marketed it themselves, and told ford to eat shit. I have one of those special hitches. It has the harley emblem on it and fits the model A's and some of the later cars.

Posted by: OrangeEnt at August 10, 2026 10:33 PM (1Ff7Z)

Well, they didn't make a Scotsman Champ. The entire Scotsman line went away when the Lark model was introduced. They did make Scotsman pickups in '58 - '59, and they were basically throwbacks to the early '50's models. The Champ pickup was introduced in 1960, and its cab was based on the front half of a Lark 4-door sedan. They should have used a 2-door sedan; the longer doors would have made for a much roomier cab.

We are of course in the middle of a top down planned fake birth of a New Democrat Party that is supposedly taking over the old one that has been tortured like a rented mule and then crusted over 20 times. After the takeover or merge, however they do it, questions about the past will take on a new sheen of irrelevance, as it was the old party. And these people are new.

It doesn't matter whether she's intended to be the next nominee or not - what matters is the claim of "new life" in that tired old shitty fake bullshit ass party. Granted we have some Republican "births" happening too, but while we have a president they are attempting to sunset quickly, there is a strong "potential" in eggs, new life and possibilities.

Not unlike this strange new appearance of the DSA on the world political stage. While you were sleeping these kooks were granted Top Billing by our masters, and even while our masters struggle to maintain an arm's length distance that is getting shorter by the moment, and by design.

It does indeed. Masculinity "equals" strength. They are trying to project strength - and a mostly unapologetic DSA will very suddenly get that done.

All a dumb population (mostly) wants is a strong leader. Hence Trump. They are replicating what Trump did in 2016 but this time as a "movement" - with no nominal leader it stays diffuse and difficult to attack or brand.

By keeping it as two sides "fighting" they get to slither around every criticism and message around any problem. Any criticism of the establishment by Republicans is addressed by the radicals, and any criticism of the radicals is addressed by the establishment. Any criticism really, automatically supports the Democrats. Like Cucky Schumer just said, "it's a big tent". This has been well thought out.

Mark my words, though - Trump will get a say.

Apple, raspberry, strawberry, blueberry, chocolate silk, banana cream, chess, pumpkin, cranberry walnut, mincemeat, blueberry dream, lemon shaker, lemon merengue, and the occasional odd chicken pot pie. And others from time to time, but I would need recipes for them. I don't for any of the above.

It was - but note that the Democrat sex scandals of late were abuse of adult women. Sometimes just in consensual relationships. Very manly abuse of adult women.

I guarantee Swalwell and Shitner both have "other" sex things that wouldn't seem so manly. Even his gay comment was about "dominating" someone which makes us laugh of course at how fucking stupid and gay he is but it was more bs toxic manliness and that's how it reads on the surface. One of the women also reported her feeling when he came inside of her. A thoroughly unnecessary detail other than the fact that it's all part of a big bullshit op.

186 Today, I cleaned up some of the messes I made in the last few days of work, and then got into doing "body work" on the fiberglass body shell of my dune buggy project. Te battery tray was heavily slathered with tan-colored body filler, which really has no structural strength to speak of. But I had to cut off the bottom two inches to make clearance for the anti-sway bar I had installed on the rear swing axles. Out comes the sawzall. Cut out in 2 minutes. There were similar great globs of body filler in other places, too, notably the front corners of the mounting flange area where it is supposed to bolt to the floor pan. I ground all the filler off with a flap wheel. Huge dust cloud ensued. "Now, will this body fit the floor pan?" I had previously found that sitting the body direct on the floor pan caused the shock towers to hit the underside of the body; not optimal. So I had made a "shim" from 1 1/4" light gauge square steel tubing, jigged up on the floor pan itself, with holes drilled to match the body mount holes on the floor pan. I took this shim, and inverted it, and placed it on the inverted body tub. 1/2

With the shim on the inverted body tub, it was clear that the body was about an inch short in the attaching flange area. I clamped the shim securely at the rear, where it fit pretty well, and went to work at the front. I ran the sawzall down both sides, and inch back from the front toeboard, almost to the top rail of the body. I could then push the bottom of the toeboard forward until it flange mated pretty well with the shim. Clamped that. Went around the perimeter, pulling the body flange into close alignment with the shim, clamping them, drill out the mount hole in the fiberglass flange, and fasten with a bolt and washers. All done. Drove 5 Tek screws through the mounting flange into the front arch of the shim (no bolt holes there). Weather permitting tomorrow, I will use mat and resin to rebuild the front corners where I made the saw cuts.

200 Gun Owners of America@GunOwners

In GOA's case, a federal court just stuck down NFA registration for:

❌Suppressors
❌Short-Barreled Rifles
❌Short-Barreled Shotguns

GOA & our allies in Congress eliminated the tax.

The National Firearms Act of 1934 is now UNCONSTITUTIONAL as applied.

We're proud to have fought this fight, but it's not over yet. The Department of Justice still has the opportunity to appeal, and the court stayed its order for seven days to give them time to seek appellate review. Although as of the writing of this article, they have not done so.

Also, the Judge in this case limited protection to members of Gun Owners of America and other named plaintiffs.

We fought for a nationwide injunction, but the Judge did not grant it to us.

So, because of the ruling, we're encouraging everyone who would like protection from the National Firearms Act's registration requirements to become GOA members.

Back in the '80s a friend got into family housing on Elmendorf (as it was then). There was a full basement with a laundry sink in it that he rigged up as a man cave (though that expression wasn't around then). Computer, dart board, old sofas, refrigerator, TV, etc.

Since they didn't even have a washer and drier, it was clear to all of us that the sink was clearly for the express purpose of making us not have to go upstairs to get rid of used beer.

However, when his wife found out, she disagreed. Strongly.

Didn't matter that she never used the sink for anything. It was just Something That Was Not Done.

He agreed to stop doing that, then promptly ignored the agreement.

Yes, they eventually got divorced. Why do you ask?

My blackcaps did very well for plants I dug up and transplanted from the woods. The thimbleberries have lush leaves and thick canes and have not given me one berry so I am going to dig them up and put in some Marionberries instead.
I think both of them will survive the root rot that killed my raspberries. And if not, I will burn them down and put them elsewhere.

I can only do so much blackberry jam, though. I have done a case of jars so far, and I am trying to cut back on sugar. I might try to make some blackberry cordial, though maybe not. I bought a fifth of cheap white rum for baking, and I only use so much for that.

That's also related to one of my favorite bits of biological trivia.

When a human is first developing, it starts as a single cell. Eventually, it's a ball of cells. The first "physical feature" to develop is a single indentation, or pore, on that ball of cells.

Eventually, that pore extends through the embryo and becomes the alimentary canal.

But that first indentation is not the entrance; it's the exit.

So, before any of us were anything else, we were all just an asshole.

A sphere is almost perfect symmetry. Almost divine symmetry, you might call it. A 2-sphere (the surface of a "3-ball" ) has constant positive Gaussian curvature, just 1/r^2, where is the radius.

Every point a sphere is the same as any other.

The development of differential geometry is a fascinating thing. From Gauss to Riemann, who perfected it. And there it was, something abstract theory of curvature of spaces of arbitrary dimension that just sat on a shelf, seemingly some abstract thing with no real physical usefullness. Then Einstein came along with General Relativity.

The Poincare Conjecture was all about spheres. Is any simply connected surface (no holes, meaning you can contract a closed curve down to a point without hitting anything) topologically equivalent to a sphere.

The crazy thing was it it was proven in dimensions of 5 or greater well before, and was relatively easy. Then came 4 dimensions.

Proving it for 3 dimensions was a bitch. It was finally proven in 2003 by a reclusive Russian mathematician, who looks like Rasputin.

267 >> Gauss's Theorema Egregium

That is a beautiful thing, and Gauss was just blown away by that result. Thus we have the distinction between intrinsic and extrinsic curvature.

Take a cylinder (infinitely long). That has extrinsic curvature, it must curve in the 3D embedding space, but *on the surface*, using only 2D measurements you can make, it is completely flat, zero Gaussian curvature. There's that property of wrapping around back to where you started in one of the dimensions, but that's just a bit of topological distinction, not the intrinsic geometry.

We tend to want to think of curved surfaces (or higher dimensional curved spaces) in terms of some higher dimensional, flat Euclidean embedding space. We can see "why" the metric is so weird and not Euclidean.

The intrinsic curvature picture says forget about the embedding spaces. A space need not have any higher dimensions in which to curve. Just take the surface for it is, a non-Euclidian geometry.

The amazing thing about curvature. In 2D, it takes just one scalar to characterize the curvature at any point. That number is the Gaussian curvature.

In 3D, it takes 6 scalars to fully describe. You can think of this as the more complicated ways that a 3D space can curve. You've got just one "plane" in 2D. In 3D, you have three local planes.

And those 6 numbers correspond to a rank-2 symmetric tensor (think of it as a matrix), dubbed the Ricci curvature.

For dimension 4 and higher, well, you need a *rank-4* tensor, dubbed the Riemann curvature tensor to fully describe. Thus for a higher dimensions than 3, you need a 4 dimensional mathematical object itself to describe the space.

Consider some little ants, flatlanders they're sometimes called, living on the surface of 2 sphere. They've learned Euclidean geometry. They think they live on a flat plane, because they are so small relative to the radius.

If they started making local measurements over long enough spans, they would start noticing some crazy things. They would find the circumference of a circle was *less* than 2pi*r, and the area of that circle was *more* than pi*r^2. They would find that the sum of the angles of a triangle was *more* than 180 degrees.

And, if they started walking in opposite directions at right angles to each other, they find they eventually met each other again. Their straight line paths converge (at the antipode of their starting point).

They would think that was impossible.

Now, that business of the ants on the sphere is with positive Gaussian curvature. What about negative curvature. Well with that, over a region of interest with negative curvature everywhere, the circumference of a circle would be greater than 2pi*r, the area would be less than pi*r^2, and triangles would sum to less than 180 degrees. This is the exact opposite of positive curvature.

Now, just a sphere is maximally symmetric surface of positive curvature, how about the inverse, a surface of constant negative curvature? That's dubbed the hyperbolic plane (you can see some things look like hyperbolae there).

That's a bitch. Turns out there is no way to *smoothly* embed such a thing in 3D. You can if allow some "edges" (curvature singularities), there some tractrix curve you can make a surface of revolution out of, but it will have a cusp.

Turns out you need a 6-dimensional space to smoothly embed this. It might be possible to do it in 5 or even 4 dimensions, but they haven't figured that out yet. But a 6D embedding is known.

297 >> I wrote was about how if you try measuring galactic-scale triangles, you might prove that the universe is elliptic or hyperbolic

A little caution about "space" in General Relativity, hell just SR too. The notion of space is purely *coordinate dependent*. One man's space is another man's time. This, is well, somewhat difficult to wrap your head around at first blush. :-)

Now, cosmologists like to use a preferred reference frame for the FLRW spacetimes, dubbed the comoving coordinates. This has a natural reason, but they tend to forget it's just an arbitrary choice.

GR and the curvature is about *spacetime*, space and time together in a 4D (psuedo-) Riemannian structure.

On the one, those 4D are 1 dimension of time and 3 dimensions of space, but they get mixed up as a matter of coordinate choice.

So whether "space" is flat, open hyperbolic, or closed "elliptical" is a coordinate question. Is does correspond to an actual invariant, though, and that is the critical density.

But in other choices of coordinates, space would be different.

This gets well beyond my own ability here. Critical density (ignoring a cosmological constant/dark energy) is basically about whether the universe will expand forever or stop and the contract, falling back on itself in a Big Crunch. The critical density would be just when, well it's like when a radial speed was exactly equal to escape velocity. You would "stop" at infinity. Greater than escape, you're still moving at infinity. Less than escape velocity, and you stop and start falling back in finite time.

Now, spacetime, even flat spacetime (Minkowski spacetime) is non-Euclidean from the get-go.

The "distance" in spacetime is non-positive definite. They don't even call it "distance" for this reason, but use the "separation" or the "interval".

In positive definite land, the notion of distance is always positive (or zero). It's the old Pythagorean sum of squares thing.

Now, the interval in spacetime is the *difference* of the squares of space and the square of time. The interval can be *negative*, as well as positive or zero. Which one is positive and which is negative is a matter of choice. I prefer the positive timelike convention, but the positive spacelike is very convenient in some cases.

If the seperation is positive, it is "timelike" meaning conceivable the two events could occur at the same plane at different times. If negative, it's "spacelike" meaning form some observer the events would occur at different places at the same time.

If zero, it's null or lightlike, meaning the events lie on the path light would travel.

There is no "real" geometry you can imagine where distance can be negative. That's were the "pseudo-" on Riemannian comes from.

That difference of squares things explains the Twin paradox nicely. In positive definite, sum of squares flatland, the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. Any other path will be longer.

In difference of squares, Minkowski flatland, a straight line is the *longest distance* between two points (events). All other timelike paths are shorter.

Hence, the inertial path also has the longest proper time. Any accelerated path will accumulate less proper time. Your twin, who must accelerate to get back to you, will always be younger.

331 Anyone here ever read Dostoevsky's The Possessed aka The Demons? Somewhere twenty-five years ago I read a great introduction about how the book shows an older generation, the "liberals", nurturing but unable to control a younger generation, the socialists/anarchists/nihilists. Sound familiar? Of course a few decades later came the Bolshevik Revolution. I would like to re-read it today with the Pevear/Volokhonsky translation. My old Signet Classics copy doesn't have an introduction at all, so I don't know where I read that.

337 Okay, for a final Big Bong hit: We're all moving through spacetime at the speed of light. (this is a tautology, really, but it sounds Wild, Man). Sitting here stationary relative to yourself, you're fixed in space, but moving through time at the speed of light.

Now, if someone gets moving relative to you, and moving really fast, his spacetime speed must be constant, so his motion through time must slow down. You think is clock is ticking slow. From his POV, however, it's your clock that is ticking slow (and your rulers are short).

Feynman liked to explain things this way.

And just how would you propose to present that to the yutes? They are pre-programmed to be idiots. So were we. They will not listen to reason, only "reasons." They need to "rebel" against that which works, because, reasons.

Conservative thought and posture usually comes as a result of experience, and logical thought. The yutes have neither. You are just an old idiot, so far as they think, and nothing you do or say will move them.

Luckily, they are a minority of voters, since their mothers overwhelmingly aborted them. They are survivors, but they don't acknowledge that. It will come to them in time.

Bingo! Acceleration, *real* acceleration is an invariant. This is known as proper acceleration. This is different from coordinate acceleration. When you're really accelerating, you "feel a force", an inertial force. G force.

When you're in free fall, you feel no force. Until you hit the ground. You're not really accelerating in gravity, it's because your geodesics are curved.

What? The primary black character is a private secretary -- a servant (note that she lives in the servant's quarters). I can assure you that being a secretary didn't make you "upper class" at the time.

Her father is a successful drug store owner (in the black part of town), but he certainly doesn't have Russell, Van Rijn, or Astor money. Running a drug store didn't make you "upper class", either.

I thought the portrayal of the black characters was refreshingly realistic. No DEI noted.

If you want to really blow your mind, see Bell's Spaceship Paradox, also known as the Rocket and Rope Paradox.

That will get you into the nitty gritty of coordinate vs proper acceleration, and also of whether Lorentz contraction is "real" or just a coordinate artifact. Also, about the nature of something you might dub a "uniform gravitational field". BTW, such a thing cannot really exist in Einstein gravity.

In free fall you are following your geodesic in curved spacetime. Your proper acceleration is zero. Relative to the ground (which has non-zero proper acceleration), you have coordinate accleration.

Sitting still here on the ground in Erf's gravitational field, your proper acceleration is 1g, pointing up. :-)

The Equivalence Principle is all about this. Let's go back to pure Newton. You are in a big spaceship, accelerating at 1g in free space, far away from any gravitational field.

Now, what do things look like to you in your accelerating reference frame. If you drop something, what happens?

Every -tion ending is from a Latin -tum (perfect passive participle). AFAICT always via French.

As for term limits, they could make it more interesting by making the limits apply only to consecutive terms.

Limit to six consecutive terms for reps and two consecutive terms for senators. That way voters can bring back a favorite crook after he/she has a one term time-out after twelve years in office.

410 When a human is first developing, it starts as a single cell. Eventually, it's a ball of cells. The first "physical feature" to develop is a single indentation, or pore, on that ball of cells.

Eventually, that pore extends through the embryo and becomes the alimentary canal.

But that first indentation is not the entrance; it's the exit.

They're suing to get an injunction to keep them apart at the state fair, and preventing a battle royale there. Last year there were beatings, knifings, and shootings, and, "this year the Somali gangs are planning on upping the violence".

It's on Twitchy. Oy vey.

The Vigilant Fox
@VigilantFox
Joe Scarborough looks visibly sickened as he hears DSA co-chair Megan Romer say October 7th was "largely inevitable" and admit she "probably would have" attended a pro-Hamas rally the day after the massacre.

Even MSNBC couldn't stomach this one.

SCARBOROUGH: "The co-chair of the DSA supported going to a pro-Hamas rally the day after Hamas gleefully slaughtered more Jews on October 7th than any day the Jews were slaughtered since the Holocaust."

"This would be like going to a pro-al-Qaeda rally on September 12th, which I'm sure many people in the DSA would say, 'Well, that would be perfectly fine.'"

Joe Scarborough left the GOP over Trump in 2017. Nine years later, he's admitting his own side is full of people who would call a pro-al Qaeda rally on September 12th "perfectly fine."

You have to wonder what's going through this guy's head right now.

The Perseid meteor shower is ramping up for the peak on the night of the 12th-13th. After local midnight will be about the best time to look. Look to the NE, radiant is in Perseus as the name suggests.

This is the debris trail of Comet Swift-Tuttle. It has a period of about 130 years, but a perihelion of about 1 AU. Back in the '70s, they got worried it could hit Erf in August of 2126. It's orbital path, which we a plowing into now, is within the earth-moon distance.

But subsequent observations and refinements have shown no threat to earth for at least 2000 years. It's 16 miles in diameter, and if it hit earth, that would be all she wrote for us.

There is quite a tale around "green" stars. While mostly tongue-in-cheek, some like to claim the sun is green, because the peak of its spectrum is right in the green band.

And there is star, named Zubeneschamali (Beta Librae), that many people swear is green.

But that's most likely just an illusion. A star can't really look green because of the way the blackbody spectrum works vs temperature, and the way our eyes work. Sunlight is "white" to us. And as a star goes through the temperature spectrum, it goes from appearing reddish to yellow to white to blue.

Quick Hits

"Sports" Illustrated: Sophie Cunningham getting clotheslined was "karma" for saying that women's sports should be for women:

Gee I wonder why this writer is so keen on seeing the pretty white straight girl get brutalized:

The trans lunatic who fled the oppression of Drumpf's Amerikkka, only to wind up in a Dutch refugee camp filled with trans-hating Muslims, has now fled back to the comfort and safety of Drumpf's Amerikka.

And he's still complaining.

An American transgender refugee is back in the United States after spending a period inside a dangerous asylum center in the Netherlands, but she's still not happy with the US.
Jane-Michelle Arc, 48, fled to Ter Apel, the Netherlands' largest refugee camp, after Trump was re-elected in 2024 - saying that she feared for her safety as a trans woman living in America.
She claimed asylum in the European country - and while she endured tough conditions in the sqaulid camp where stabbings and attacks are commonplace, she came to the realization that she actually wanted to return to her native California.
Now, Arc has returned to America - and she is already complaining.
'The situation I have in the US as a trans person, not good, right? But here, I will be hurt or killed,' Arc told local outlet Pow News.
'It is too dangerous to walk to the grocery store because of the people that live in the camp, and I'm one of them, I live here. You see these guys in yellow vests, they actually wear them because there are so many stabbings.'
Ter Apel has been deemed dangerous by the Red Cross, who said aid volunteers feel 'unsafe' at the site, adding that violence 'cannot be controlled.'
Last month, Arc returned to the US, but the software engineer's transition back to the States hasn't been the easiest.
From the healthcare system to the expensive grocery prices, she's finding life difficult along the Pacific Coast after a year away.
'First time shopping in the US, and In-N-Out too. America is really, really loud and overwhelming. And everything is so expensive,' she wrote on Threads shortly after returning.
'The Dutch complain about groceries being expensive, but good grief, San Francisco is a whole different experience.'
A few weeks ago, she celebrated being back in the US for a week by acknowledging how much more 'comfortable' the States are.
Despite the ease of living more safely, she complained that the 'transphobia is quite overt.'
...
She also complained about the ongoing debate about transgender athletes in sports, as she is a triathlon athlete herself who has written about competing and winning women's events.
...
She wrote about not having toiletries inside the asylum center and wearing filthy clothing.
From her bedside on her first night, she wrote about not being afraid in the center.
'I am not afraid someone is going to threaten to kill me while screaming slurs at me outside this door. I am not afraid I will be arrested and killed in a men's jail for peeing in a public restroom. I am not afraid that one group of people is using me as a pawn in a greater ideological war against another group of people,' she wrote.
'I can't describe the feeling of that stuff not being on my shoulders. It's been there now for a long time.'
In a later post, Arc, who also posts online under the name Max Toegang, wrote: 'This place is f**king dire, and it has problems. But hate and aggression aren't the problems.'
She also detailed how the center told her to 'be careful who I hang out with and where I go' after she got 'sideways looks from Muslims.'
It is unclear when Arc started to feel physically unsafe at the center.

FOR FURTHER REVIEW

When this narcissistic schizophrenic malcontent shoots up a school, how many children do you think he'll murder?

The FBI opened its probe into Jeff Sessions -- to drive him out of the AG position and install the compliant liberal Rod Rosenthal -- even after Sessions corrected his trivial misstatement about speaking to DC-fixture Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak.

They did so based on a letter from hyperpartisan Democrat senators.

The FBI opened a probe into sitting Attorney General Jeff Sessions in May 2017 for potentially making false statements to Congress about Russian contacts even though he had already updated the disputed testimony, newly declassified documents show.
The evidence to support the probe -- codenamed MARCH TOLL and opened one day after FBI Director James Comey was fired by President Donald Trump -- was a weeks-old letter from Democrats and an article from a liberal news site, the memos show.
The bureau's investigative files into the Sessions matter were declassified by President Donald Trump and made public Monday by the White House Government Transparency Task Force.
The investigation was predicated on evidence contained in a March 20, 2017, letter to Comey from two Democrat senators on the Judiciary Committee, Patrick Leahy of Vermont and Al Franken of Minnesota.
The senators argued that Sessions made false statements in his confirmation hearing earlier that year when he testified about communications with members of the Russian government.
A Trump administration official told reporters the timing of the investigation raises concerns because it was opened right after Comey's firing and more than a month and a half after the Democratic senators wrote to the FBI.

Officers 'avoid arrests when possible,' but when forced to do so use that 'enduring component of Whiteness': niceness

A study that came out in May but just recently came to light on social media argues that police officers stationed in schools use a technique dubbed "niceness as Whiteness" to justify arresting students for various infractions.
The paper "Niceness as Whiteness in School Police Officers' Perceptions of Student Arrest" by Vanderbilt Postdoctoral Research Fellow Abigail Beneke ("studies how schools provide care under racial capitalism") and Professors Benjamin Fisher (U. Wisconsin-Madison), F. Chris Curran (U. Florida), and Samantha Viano (George Mason) was highlighted last week by Dr. James Nuzzo.
According to the paper's abstract, the researchers used the "perceptions of arrest" by school cops' (known as school resource officers, or SROs) in two school districts, and found police "generally expressed trying to avoid arrest."
But when relating anecdotes about arrests they had made, the SROs used "niceness as Whiteness to justify arresting young people." (The academics use a capital "W" for "whites/whiteness" throughout their report.)
The researchers claim niceness is an "enduring component of Whiteness" -- it "allows predominantly White people to elide how their own actions contribute to inequality by maintaining a sense of their own benevolence."
In addition, they allege "some people of color" also make use of niceness in order to "uphold Whiteness."
Despite SROs in the study noting "they avoid arrest[s] when possible," Beneke et. al. say that when SROs do make arrests, they demonstrate whiteness by:
1) not taking responsibility for them. (One SRO said he arrested a student at the mother's request as she was "at rope's end"; the researchers claim this SRO "used niceness to shift responsibility to the boy's mother" and "minimized his own role in maintaining Whiteness in a school district where Black students were arrested at three times the rate of White students.")
2) "minimiz[ing] the negative impact of arrest by highlighting their own goodness." (This includes saying things like "You want to listen to the radio? You want the window down? Is there a station you want to listen to?" after an arrest.)
3) noting the "positive relationships with children whom they had arrested." (Highlighting such "reframes violence, i.e. arrest, that contributes to racial inequality as a positive, since students still like the SROs.")
Google Scholar
The SROs "used niceness as a strategy for upholding a system of Whiteness that systematically privileges White people and excludes those who fall outside of Whiteness," the scholars conclude in the paper's discussion section.

Royce White says his fear of flying that ended his NBA career early was actually the “transgender trapped inside of me... that gave me an aversion to small spaces.” 😅

WHITE: “I realized my fear of flying really wasn't a fear of flying. It was the transgender trapped inside of me, caged inside of me, that gave me an aversion to small spaces.”

PROFESSOR PENN: “Oh, that makes perfect sense.”

WHITE: “A transgender trapped deep down inside of them. And so they think... they're claustrophobic. Not really claustrophobic. It's the transgender that's trapped.”

Royce White was the 16th overall pick in the 2012 NBA Draft, but his fear of flying led his career to end in just three NBA games.

In a recent Fox News interview, White said he’s “just having a blast in my feminine era” and that “after further review... it would appear that I am indeed sometimes identifying as a transgender woman.”

He has now declared himself eligible for the WNBA draft.

A liberal GOP Indiana State Senator has suffered a shocking defeat to his opponent following a recount, three months after he supposedly won.

As The Indianapolis Star reported, Trump-hating RINO State Senator Spencer Deery, who defied the President on redistricting, officially lost his race to conservative pro-Trump challenger Paula Copenhaver by three votes.

46 The senators argued that Sessions made false statements in his confirmation hearing earlier that year when he testified about communications with members of the Russian government.

Let's remember that what Sessions forgot was an appointment the Obama administration put on Sessions' calendar with Russian diplomat Kislyak as the chair of of Foreign Affairs.

Kislyak's name is so all over the Russian stuff, that it's clear he was a Dem errand boy. Kislyak was such a threat to the US that a big group of Dems had a group photo with them in the SAME YEAR.

47 The SROs "used niceness as a strategy for upholding a system of Whiteness that systematically privileges White people and excludes those who fall outside of Whiteness," the scholars conclude in the paper's discussion section.

The problem is Brave. It no longer works on iOS for getting to the site. One of the ads trigger an infinitely recuring reload. And it's impossible to interact with the site in the 2 microseconds after the site loads and it starts to reload.

Brave on iOS. Which is still the safari webkit but Safari itself doesn't have this problem. Been this way for a long while. Android Brave which is actually Brave doesn't have this problem. PC/Linux Brave versions, which are actually Brave, also don't have this problem. But iPhone and Brave can't be used on the main page.

I actually went to school, one of the top universities might I add, to educate myself on this exact subject.

Surprise! Jason Arday Was Also a Shit "Teacher;" Did Not Teach Actual Academic Subjects, Just Riffed About Racism and Popular Music In Every "Class"

You don't say.

If this sounds familiar -- it is. "Professor" Cornell West has written no books for decades but has edited a few and recorded a rap album as his contribution to scholarship.

It's the whole grift. They're not being hired for any kind of actual scholarship, but are just paid for their identity.

The song lyrics were the first red flag. The way he'd ramble about Tinie Tempah or Eminem, or how black artists like Beyoncé were sexualized by white men, without offering any evidence to substantiate his claims. Or else there were the film clips, from Fish Tank and Kidulthood, which he'd tell us to discuss without offering guidance on how to do so. And this was if he was even in the classroom at all. He often arrived late and left early, once teaching for a single hour when four were scheduled.
So when I saw Jason Arday's name in the news, my first thought was: "finally!" As a student on the Education module Arday taught at the University of Roehampton, back in autumn 2018, a module replete with music but shockingly light on education, I can't help but have thoughts on the story that's unfolded over the last couple of weeks. For me, though, the real surprise is that it didn't all come out sooner.
...
I can honestly describe Arday's teaching as terrible. He rarely used the PowerPoint slides. Instead, he usually sat casually on a desk, giving his generalized views on racism without ever referring to any academic theories -- let alone those relevant to the "Youth Participation and Identities" module he was supposed to be teaching.
...
At first, my classmates were charmed by Arday's cheerful attitude and inspirational stories. To start with, too, they were interested in his claims that white people were guilty of every kind of prejudice. Yet as the module progressed, and he failed to turn up for yet another class, things began to change. It gradually dawned on us that we were learning nothing of substance, and that much of his talk was nonsense.
When it came to our assessment, Arday recommended we answer one of the two essay questions -- there were four options -- that mentioned ethnicity. This, after all, was the only thing he'd talked to us about. I remember one young, black, female student coming to me in the library as we began to draft our essays and saying: "I don't know what to do, I've read my notes and there is nothing there I can use!" She wasn't the only one, and I offered advice as best I could, writing my own essay using the online resources Arday's predecessor had left.
In the end, Arday gave me 70% for my essay. That sounds good -- except that my average for the year was 75%, meaning my overall result was dragged down. Particularly as Arday had given my work no feedback, I asked for a meeting. At Roehampton, marking is blind, so he wouldn't have known who'd written which essay. In our meeting, I explained that 70% was a low mark for me and asked him to provide feedback. Suddenly, his friendly, confident demeanor changed. I now saw a side of him I'd never seen before: angry, but also scared. Arday implied that I was racist, and said that the only reason I wasn't happy with 70% was due to my "white privilege". He was clearly upset at being questioned, and I ended the meeting as quickly as possible.

I don't really know what this student was expecting, to be honest.

Some of this racist, low-IQ hustler's former "students" want their grades reviewed -- and their tuition refunded.

Hit 'em in the wallets, that's where it stings.

Cambridge University could be forced to review the grades given to students of Jason Arday after graduates unhappy with their results said they were considering legal action.
A number of Mr Arday's former students have complained that they received lower grades than expected after "inadequate" supervision by the professor. In one case, a student who asked to change supervisor was accused of being racist.
Kb>Separately, Prof Deborah Prentice, the university's vice-chancellor, is facing demands to refund the tuition fees of students who were taught by Mr Arday after they were "deceived about the nature of their education".
A mass refund or large-scale retrospective grade changes would be unprecedented in the university's 800-year history.
Prof Prentice is also facing criticism for failing to grip the crisis engulfing the university, which has damaged its reputation on the international stage. The academics have accused the £507,000-a-year leader of the university of "inaction", having made no public comments since The Telegraph first reported on the plagiarism row around Mr Arday a fortnight ago. He has now resigned.
It has also emerged that when Cambridge was sent fresh evidence of Mr Arday's alleged plagiarism last year -- having first been alerted to it in 2023 -- the "responsible person" allocated to the case was Prof Hilary Cremin, the head of Mr Arday's faculty who had told him he was "the best in the world" when he was hired.
On Friday, Cambridge announced that it would be reviewing the process by which it appoints senior staff, in what is being seen by some academics as an attempt to head off an independent inquiry.
Cambridge is facing a rebellion from its own academics, who have demanded in a letter to Prof Prentice that there must be "a thorough and transparent investigation into the wider circumstances of this damaging episode".
...
Former Cambridge students who contacted The Telegraph complained that Mr Arday gave them minimal supervision, telling some they did not need supervision because they were so outstanding, only for them to get lower grades than predicted. One student who asked to be allocated another supervisor was accused of racism (though there is no suggestion Mr Arday made the accusation).
Now, ex-students have said they are considering appealing to Cambridge to review their grades, including one case where a student appealed their grade at the time but had their appeal rejected.
One former student said the "right and moral thing to do" would be for the university to reopen their appeal.

Simon & Schuster is going ahead with the publication of "his" ghostwritten book, the one they paid £1.4 million for. (Note I previously said $1.4 million, but it's 1.4 million pounds, or about 1.9 million dollars.)

They did some last-minute stealth-editing to remove some of the most obvious lies.

EXCLUSIVE: Simon & Schuster Selectively Edited Disgraced Scholar Jason Arday's Memoir To Soften Now-Toxic Reputation

The Free Beacon has obtained two advance proofs of the book, due to be released in the US next week, and identified telling edits made in recent months

Benjamin Ryan

Jason Arday, who resigned from his prestigious professorship at Cambridge on Wednesday after the university launched an investigation into his academic integrity, is now facing more scrutiny as Simon & Schuster is set to publish his memoir in the United States next week. But the Washington Free Beacon has obtained pre-publication proofs of the book, which show that during the early months of this year the publisher removed what could have been much more fodder for the already rampant accusations of academic misconduct and false claims.
Edits to Arday's online biography on Simon & Schuster's website, the Free Beacon reported this week, further suggest that the publisher knew as long as a year ago that there were questions about the author's credibility and truthworthiness.
...
The wider public would not learn of the accusations against Arday, including those of pervasive plagiarism, until last month. But Simon & Schuster had been making telltale edits to his book since January.
The Free Beacon examined two pre-publication proofs of the book: a U.S. version dated Jan. 6, and the U.K. final edition, dated June 18. Comparing the two iterations reveals that Simon & Schuster made a series of changes, including altering verbatim quotes, that appear to have been an effort to protect his reputation--which is all the more valuable now that he stands accused of sweeping embellishments, dishonesty, and even academic fraud. One edit effectively acknowledges the possibility that he could lose his professorship.
...

The co-writer, Eve Claxton, a Brooklyn-based ghostwriter and editor, goes uncredited on the book's U.S. cover. It's unusual for a professor to need such help writing a book, much less his own memoir.
...
Simon & Schuster's edits also make it harder, perhaps deliberately, to corroborate or disprove Arday's stories. The names of two publicists involved in his charitable efforts--and the names of certain professors and a disability officer--were replaced by pseudonyms, or the names were removed entirely.
The January 2026 edition specifies the names of two PR agents, Dick Tutin and Mick Thorburn, who helped publicize his purported effort to run 30 marathons in 35 days for charity in 2010. The Free Beacon was unable to reach them.
The June 2026 edition provides pseudonyms for Dick Tutin and Mick Thorburn, who become "Paul" and "Keith." The edition states on its first page: "The names and identifying details of some people depicted in this book have been changed."
Today, Arday is faced with convincing accusations of serial fabulism. A previous Free Beacon investigation found he lied repeatedly, dating back at least 16 years, about raising millions for charity, often via undocumented charity running events. Another Free Beacon report found there were no police reports or other independent accounts of his claims of being a victim of violent threats and stalking since starting at Cambridge.
...
The June proof of Arday's memoir also contains critical new legal language. In the January proof, Arday claimed that "I continue to be persecuted, receiving hate mail motivated by racial animus." In the June edition, this sentence removes the specific claim of hate mail and just states: "I have continued to face harassment and persecution as the subject of targeted campaigns driven by racial animus."
The September Carter-Ruck letter to Times Higher Education accused Grove of a "campaign of harassment," which it said was "targeted" and might have been "racially motivated."

The woman who hired Arday says that universities shouldn't care so much about grades and educational achievement.

No shit.

As the Jason Arday saga rumbles on, I've just seen this on Prof. Hilary Cremin. That someone with these beliefs was appointed *Head* of the Faculty of Education is astonishing. She not only trashes Cambridge University students, she seems not to understand educational attainment. pic.twitter.com/CD2czThqZk
— Adrian Hilton (@Adrian_Hilton) August 8, 2026

Remember, this Sage told Arday that he was "the best in the world in terms of the research you do."

Research? Spending all class talking about rap music and accusing white students of racism?

Who is the mad academic who greeted Jason Arday as �the best in the world�? Hilary Cremin despises our education system and thinks those who normally rise to the top �are the worst of us not the best of us�. Far Left ideologues like her delight in sabotaging our institutions. pic.twitter.com/8bMXlHNelb

BTW, how shit is that decision?

"No, Willie Griggs did not pass the assessments (he lacked a high school diploma and did not earn passing scores on the tests). There is no indication in the case record that he (or the plaintiffs generally) proved he could have passed them or performed the higher jobs; the lawsuit instead challenged the requirements themselves as unlawful under Title VII because they had a disparate racial impact and were not shown to be job-related."

I didn't do any digging, but I believe the comment was 82% in the first Tri-mester which likely makes a difference. You're going to have your usual miscarriages in that time frame...in addition to any brought on by the "vaccine" as well as the disease itself.

Fauci Privately Acknowledged the Fake Vaccine Could Cause Miscarriages -- But Denied Any Such Risk Publicly

This is close to murder.

WASHINGTON -- Dr. Anthony Fauci privately raised concerns that the COVID-19 vaccine could "theoretically" be linked to miscarriages in expectant mothers, despite having publicly insisted there were "no red flags" for pregnant women.
"I asked around a bit more and another issue came up that you need to be aware of," wrote Fauci in a Jan. 25, 2021, text exchange with then-Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky and Surgeon General Vivek Murthy.
"Since many people have significant cytokines storm and fever after the 2nd dose, this theoretically could be associated with miscarriage in the 1st trimester," added the then-National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director.
Fauci, Walensky and Murthy had been discussing whether the vaccine posed any risks to women who followed the two-shot regimen earlier or later in their pregnancies.
Walensky responded to Fauci that the first trimester issues he raised were "definitely a good point, [especially] after dose two."
Days later, on Feb. 3, Fauci said during a question-and-answer livestream with the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) that the FDA "found thus far, and we have to be careful, but thus far no red flags about that, about pregnant women."
...
Other communications between Fauci, Murthy and Walensky also showed them weighing the potential risks of vaccination against the risks posed by SARS-CoV-2, the virus caused by COVID-19.
Murthy also mentioned he was "surprised to see WHO [World Health Organization] put out a strong like saying they do not recommend moderna [sic] in pregnant women."

"That's a strong statement to make and potentially quite damaging to public confidence among pregnant women," he told Fauci and Walensky in a text from Jan. 26, 2021.
The messages, released by Sens. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), were taken from more than 34,000 texts and 522 voicemails obtained by the Senate Homeland Security Committee last week from Fauci's government-issued cell phone.
According to the Republican senators, just three contacts are listed in that phone but it is "too early to determine whether any data has been deleted."

This. Is. Murder.

At scale.

@KatiePavlich
The mandated and doctor recommended COVID-19 shot for pregnant women was effectively an abortion shot according to new documents just released by Senators Johnson and Paul.
"The authors claimed a miscarriage rate of 12.6%, but the raw data revealed an 82% miscarriage rate in women vaccinated during the first trimester. This is consistent with the 81% miscarriage rate noted in the Pfizer 5.3.6 post-market data. These figures mirror the effects of chemical abortion drugs such as RU-486."

Meanwhile, Margaret Brennan gives Jay Battacharya the third degree and suggests his skepticism of Fauci's vaccine lies caused a shooting at the CDC. She also insists that it was Trump, not Biden, who censored him.

Huge kudos to Jay Bhattacharya for how calmly he dealt with this absolutely loathsome fake news operative. She really is one of the worst.

36 What was to be gained by denying, very publicly, approximately 100 years of hard-won epidemiological knowledge? I cannot wrap my head around this.

Even a casual consumer of medical knowledge had to think "That's not right". They couldn't state the brand new experimental emergency use only vaccine was "safe" for pregnant women, because there is no way to know. This is not a matter of opinion or politics. It's crazy. Why would they do this?

It's possible, I suppose, there is something they weren't telling everyone. What would that be? Nothing good. Because real Medicine is often about trade-offs. Weighing the "good of the many" etc.

Except I don't believe they are that altruistic. Nothing has ever added up, not even a little bit.

First, everyone involved in the COVID and clot shot conspiracy, from the doctors to the vaccine manufacturers to the employers who forced it, and everyone along the way who had any part of it. Second, the psychiatric-medical-pharmaceutical governmental transgender industrial complex who have recruited, brainwashed, groomed, committed malpractice at an industrial scale, abandoned all pretense of evidentiary-based medicine and medical necessity, and conducted themselves in the most Mengelean way possible to create lifetime patients all in the name of making a buck. I want class action firms going after this shit like asbestos and defective surgical mesh.

Biden made an odd claim early in the campaign season that he was going to cure cancer. This mRNA tech was part of this effort. Someone put that bug in his ear, and like an idiot liar that he is, he ran with it.

I believe that the GOF research was specifically planned to implement these mRNA vaccines, way back even before a plannedemic was determined to be useful to take out Trump. Recall, also early in the campaign season that Pelosi declared that anyone who was against universal mail-in voting was an enemy of the [ deep] state.

Then, of course, they wargammed the Red mirage (??) scenario, whereby they would see a Trump win turn into a Trump loss overnight. They are not that prescient. The telegraphed and executed their plan, the deep state's plan.

And, of course, J6 was the cover-up.

You know and I know that Fauci falls in the latter of the three categories. BUT, good luck proving that. He skates from legal consequences, but I'm not sure that a destroyed reputation and fall from grace isn't a better punishment for this little self-important gnome.

Conservatives only have one trait - hypocrisy. They will alter their entire personality and belief system on a dime if their currently worshiped dear leader decrees it. Remember "masks suffocate and kill people" 5 years ago, yet now it's "ICE can wear masks everywhere and you can't make laws to remove their masks".

They're trashing Fauci because they don’t want trump being remembered as the reason for those deaths. They want to rewrite the history we all remember.

We are about to have a true disaster from measles and everyone knows it. They are actively trying to throw Fauci under a bus and hope he takes the blame for measles.

This has nothing to do with hipocrisy. They believe COVID and the larger pandemic were a hoax and that the "LoCkDoWnS" were in place simply to control us all. There's also a non-insignificant fraction that believe the vaccine was a eugenics/mind control/general control scheme, thus why they think Fauci is evil, because if it _were_ all a hoax, yeah that'd be a weird response.

They are completely misrepresenting the position of most of the right. Some thought it was all a hoax, the Q crowd and the like, but most of us thought it was a real thing that was blown out of proportion and could've been handled a lot less politically and a lot more professionally.

We should've followed Sweden's model and came out ten times better.

We all knew that the most vulnerable were older people and people with conditions and that it rarely affected young people.
The right's biggest complaint was the lockdown, the economic destruction, the Dems/Left/Media taking advantage of the situation to stoke riots and steal elections, and the final straw; the full court press to make everybody take a 'vaccine' that was developed and produced in about 8 months.

I got COVID once, possibly twice (early 2020), so I know it was real.

140 OMG. So if the poor baby wasn't chemically aborted, it was mutated.

Deleterious mutations usually result in spontaneous miscarriage.

Posted by: NemoMeImpuneLacessit at August 10, 2026 05:12 PM (DsDRo)

141 The authors claimed a miscarriage rate of 12.6%, but the raw data revealed an 82% miscarriage rate in women vaccinated during the first trimester. This is consistent with the 81% miscarriage rate noted in the Pfizer 5.3.6 post-market data. These figures mirror the effects of chemical abortion drugs such as RU-486."

That sounds like hundreds of thousands of potential murder charges to me

One of our carriers was working so many hours, so much overtime, she forgot to raise the garage door before backing her car out, she was so tired.

The theory is that it is quicker to produce, so can be more up to date

- The strain problem is only the CDC's metric which is a false one. flu deaths never decrease even with massive vaccination. This is hotly disputed, but I have looked at enough data to know that I don't trust the guys saying it works.

- The main reason it was approved, (and I would be a months pay on this) is that the guys in the CDC are on the patents and getting royalties.

There is a thematic de-escalation in scripture. Babel screwed up pretty bad, but he simply scattered the us to the winds. Abraham saw individual cities destroyed utterly. Egypt lost its army, but not it's cities.

God didn't even destroy the nasty Assyrians of Nineveh.

Jesus mentions Babel in his apocalyptical teaching. And I argue that the internet undoes Babel. We're on the landing strip of the Apocalypse (revealing).

220 What Battychara should have said is this --

(after stating what a tragedy it is, etc.)
Our civilization is one of ordered liberty. That liberty is maintained with overlapping rights. These are, the right to free speech, the freedom of the press, and our constitutional rights. The idea is that if, for example, the gov. goes full tyranny and forces people out of work, unable to practice their religion, unable to congregate and associate. Or even worse, forces them to take untested compounds against a questionable threat, Then we still have freedom to speak about it (unless censored on the public forums) and freedom of press for people like me to discuss and debate.

Some people are unstable and can be driven to do horrible things. This is an unfortunate reality. But where did our ordered liberty fail?

So instead of blaming Kennedy for saying the vaccine is unsafe, ask, "is the vaccine really safe? Have we debated that publicly?" How did the US media fail in their role in maintaining ordered liberty?

Qualified immunity. Unless it can be shown that he acted contrary to clearly established law, which is harder than it sounds. There was a case a few years ago where some cops were held entitled to immunity because there was no clearly established law telling them not to steal shit during the course of a search.

222 Iran published its terms to settle the war. In the terms it wants reparations for damages done.

Trump responded today saying he hadn't considered it but it's good idea.

Trump wants reparations for all the people they killed with the IEDs they supplied to the sand box. Plus reparations for all their other murders all the way back and including Lebanon.

Don't know if USA has ever laid siege to a nation before.
This is like wayback machine warship.

228 The whole technology of mRNA vaccines is flawed. An early experiment was to come up with a vaccine against feline leukemia - feline “AIDS” that is killing so many cats. An mRNA vaccine was tried which worked perfectly against the particular strain of the feline leukemia virus it was patterned on. Then the vaxxed cats were exposed to wild feline leukemia viruses, which of course had mutations. Every single cat died. The mRNA vaxx only works against the original virus. Any variation (and of course they mutate!) and it is useless. My advice as a mere PhD (not an MD) is avoid all mRNA vaxx. They don’t work, and have harmful side-effects as we are finding out.

I’m a doctor. This executive order is wrong. The President does not have the expertise to make these changes.

Vaccines are overwhelmingly safe. Vaccines are effective. Vaccines DO NOT cause autism.

Breaking up vaccines will mean children have to get more shots to get the same protection, not fewer shots. It will increase hesitancy and make children less safe.

But it is an interesting idea because now I am likewise demanding compensation from Iran, for all of the people that they have killed and gravely wounded with their roadside bombs and many conflicts, for which they are famous, as led initially by General Soleimani, including the families of those killed on the USS Cole, and thousands of others killed in combat. Additionally, compensation should be paid to the families of the hundreds of thousands of innocent protestors that Iran has killed over the last 50 years, not to mention the 52,000 that have been killed in the last five months. I have instructed my representatives to put this firmly into any, and all, future negotiations. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

My wife (much more anti-Jab than I was) got in a testy relationship with a couple we knew online, because she discouraged the jab. Her husband was a pharmaceutical salesman and had "read all the literature" and decided it was SCIENCE to take he jab.

So her lady friend took the jab. And basically, a previously physically fit woman who had some health issues here and there couldn't walk for months.

Even then, her husband was the expert.

Friends of ours from church have a pharmacist son, who took the Jab because SCIENCE. He had a stroke and an aortic bi-section which he still insists has nothing to do with the Jab. He was blind in one eye for a while and could barely speak English. He will never get back the vision he had in 2021.

This is true, and what you wrote is a serious problem

But another problem is that the covid vaccine injected the spike right into the bloodstream (and who knows what other organs where the RNA would take hold and pump them out.)

They knew from the start that
1 - Most people who got the covid did not have spikes in blood
2 - Those that did, had a really bad time.

That spike is particularly nasty to everything it touches. It was engineered that way.

So it's like saying we will protect you from the threat of kitchen fire by pre-burning your house down.

How were we supposed to get rich if we couldn't sell you a vaccine because you were 90% likely to get it or already have it and 99% likely to survive it? I mean with no safety data, would you buy it when you really don't need it?
Plus, if we can't give you the first shot, then we can't sell you the next four, because vaccinating into a pandemic always causes mutation pressure to explode and then we get to push out more shots per person!!!!

Abdul El-Sayed Has Repeatedly Endorsed Book Which Praises Left-Wing Violence and the Nihilistic Destruction of the "Summer of Love;" Also Refuses to Even Stop Campaiging with Hasan "Kill Rick Scott" Piker

I'm starting to think this son of a terrorist might be pro-terrorism.

Jon Levine of Free Beacon:

Abdul El-Sayed Promoted Leftist 'Radicalization' Book That Endorses Violent Resistance, Praises George Floyd Rioters for 'Property Destruction'

The book, which El-Sayed regularly promoted on his podcast, denounces 'fetishizing distinctions between violence and nonviolence'
Jon Levine
August 10, 2026

Abdul El-Sayed, the newly minted Democratic nominee for Senate in Michigan, repeatedly promoted to his podcast listeners a notorious book that encourages violent rioting and claims the U.S. government "kills untold millions," the Washington Free Beacon can reveal.
El-Sayed made the plug for the book, Let This Radicalize You, at least 10 times on his podcast, America Dissected.
...
In chapter six: "'Violence' in Social Movements," the authors dismiss peaceful protests as submissive to the state and argue that violent protesters should not necessarily be considered "bad."
"Fetishizing distinctions between violence and nonviolence can lead to the indulgence of rhetoric about 'good' and 'bad' protesters, where 'peaceful' protesters are celebrated and 'violent' protesters--for example, those who engage in property destruction that disrupts profit--are viewed as disposable and disreputable," the pair writes.
"And when they refer to 'peaceful protest,' they are talking about cooperative protest that obediently stays within the lines drawn by the state."
"This licenses people to care about the cause being protested without caring about what happens to the 'bad' protesters. For example, even as significant numbers of people supported the uprisings following the racist murder of George Floyd, many fewer people vocally defended the rights of protesters who were arrested for acts of property destruction and funneled into the racist carceral system," they added.

Meanwhile, this radical terrorist refuses to break with Hasan Piker, who himself has called for the assassination of Senator Rick Scott and called for "capitalists" to have their throats slit until the streets "run red with blood."

Ed Morrissey:

El-Sayed, however, won't play that game. This weekend, NBC's Kristen Welker pressed the new Democrat nominee for the Senate on his alliance with Hasan Piker, the radical Marxist who claimed, "America deserved 9/11." Will El-Sayed continue to have Piker as a campaign surrogate and ally, Welker asked?
El-Sayed changed the subject rather than answer:

NBC: Hasan Piker has said "America deserved 9/11," do you plan to continue to campaign with him?

EL-SAYED: "I'm less concerned now with who I'm campaigning with..."

NBC: "Would you welcome him though?"

16 Fetishizing distinctions between violence and nonviolence can lead to the indulgence of rhetoric about 'good' and 'bad' protesters, where 'peaceful' protesters are celebrated and 'violent' protesters--for example, those who engage in property destruction that disrupts profit--are viewed as disposable and disreputable," the pair writes

The left is very, very means focused.

If peaceful protest gets you what they want they'll do that. Conversely if violent protest/terrorism does they'll do that.

And so the immediate answer is violent protest/terrorism should get the people participating shot and the people organizing/funding it arrested. But even under Trump we aren't doing that.

46 the authors dismiss peaceful protests as submissive to the state and argue that violent protesters should not necessarily be considered bad.

Lawful protest is peaceful, by definition. If it isn't, then there are other more accurate terms. Riot.

Riots are not lawful protest, involving property destruction, looting, arson, murder, rape, etc. I don't care what your purported grievance is. Once you cross over the line into that stuff, you need to get ventilated. Looters shoot to wound. Arsonists shoot to kill.

Even Democrats used to understand this. Riots cause profound economic damage. There's still boarded up shit from 1968 in my old hometown. The downtown, pressured by other factors too, pretty much died. Theres a reason all those super-malls were constructed in the 1970s, and it wasn't simply about lack of parking.

Michael LaRosa just became the latest Democrat defector. His progressive credentials are uncontested: not only was he Jill Biden’s press secretary during the Cabbage years —the first “openly gay” one— but before that, he worked for a long string of Democrat pols like Kirsten Gillibrand, Senator Maria Cantwell (D-WA), and Nancy Pelosi.

From Daniel Greenfield:

In 1992, Khaled Ahmed Satary arrived in the United States on a student visa. Even though student visas are only supposed to be temporary, the Gaza ‘Palestinian’ Muslim would not leave the country, not even when the government began trying to deport him in 2008 after he spent 3 years in federal prison for running a $50 million counterfeiting ring, not as he amassed another $547 million in health care fraud over the next decade by targeting the elderly and not until he finally went on the run in 2022 and became an international fugitive.

Note Trump wasn't campaigning with the minister, this was all the minister doing his own thing. And the minister wasn't calling for violence and yet...this was at the time a BFD...

Christians doing what they are commanded to do and telling people about Christ, without violence or force- EVIL COLONIZERS!!!

Muslims doing what they are commanded to do and threatening, killing, and forcing people to submit to satanic mohammed's demonic rantings- THOSE POOR BACKWARDS VICTIMS OF THE WEST'S COLONIZING!

I think he already is. That's why he says he's not a DSA member -- even though he effectively is.

AOC also went on a backtracking tear yesterday with Jonathan Karl, virtually disavowed every distinguishing policy of the DSA and blamed it all on COVID. Won't endorse Francesca Hong because she's "focused on flipping Congress blue" as if dropping an endorsement on Hong is a full-time job that she can't find time for.

Francesca, of course, is also backtracking like mad, although it's funny, she just backs into a different ditch from the one she was already in.

Fun fact: Hasan Piker "disavowed" his own comments. He has acknowledged that how he said it was wrong. That said, he's still not wrong that 9/11 was blowback for our involvement and actions in the Middle East.

Expect MORE of this from Media as they try to downplay one of the toughest wins for DSA/Progressives. It shows people believe in almost if not everything the LEFT believes in they are just constantly propagandized against it.

Hasan Piker is a liability. If we want to win, we must run very far away from him.

Muslim candidates must answer for everything any other Muslim has ever said or done. Meanwhile, Christian candidates never have to answer for anything. Not even anything they themselves have done, apparently.

Not only do people not ask republicans to speak to shitty things Joe Rogan says, they criticize Kamala Harris for not going on that show. The double standard is massive.

Hasan went off on a rant about the hypocrisy of Scott advocating for cuts to Medicaid & Medicare last year.

Rogers lost his last run at the Senate to CIA Slotkin by less than 1 point and Michigan is under Harmeet Dhillon's thumb bigly for election rigging.

Prominent Democrats aren't just quietly saying they don't support him, they are actively supporting Rogers.

I think Rogers has a very strong shot at winning as more people discover what these DSA communists are all about. Michigan is not NYC.

Socialists need labels on the bins they carve people up into. Nazis were faux 'nations' like Aryan/German and Jews and Slavs. Commies used 'classes' like workers, kulaks (farmers), etc. Americans use races/non existent social classes and a stew of borrowed labels from every other socialist gang ever.

I can’t believe this is how low we’ve let America sink. 2 Somali gangs are preparing for a violent rival shootout at the upcoming 2026 Minnesota State
Fair.

In response Prosecutors and the Minnesota Attorney General filed civil lawsuits seeking temporary injunctions against the 2 rival Somali street gangs.
There is a proposed “safety zone” injunction would bar Somali gang members from associating with one another.

There is hype from Somalians on social media calling this “The biggest battle of the summer” with even betting taking place on which Somali gang will win.

There was prior fights, shootings and other violence linked to the groups at and near the fair during 2024–2025, plus incidents at graduations and elsewhere. So this year the Somali gangs are planning on upping the violence.

We can’t even have a fair in America without foreigners ruining it. Our culture is being destroyed.

Detroit will not turn out for this ticket. Nor will Flint.

Now that the ticket is set, Trump can release the FBI files and also target Benson for all the election fraud in the past two cycles. That data is out there, but has been muted until it is most useful.

Look for the FBI to come lean on the Fednapper plot and get the charges dismissed. Emails between Whitmer and the feds will be a hoot as they plan their cool entrapment.

238 There was an interesting X post out there that indicated that Francesca Hong's gubernatorial primary campaign TV spending is entirely funded by Peter Thiel.

That he's running attack ads against Hong in deep blue states that call her a radical open borders freak, and it's the big factor in her sudden rise.

And that the funding for her TV ads will stop the second she wins the nomination, switching over to actual attack ads against her statewide.

That Thiel is propping up a terrible leftist candidate who actually has no money as a way to destroy the Democrat party in the race in the general election.

Now that I'm retired, I can relate that when I was mobilized I was assigned as a liaison to Whitmer's office, sitting in on their Teams calls. What a vapid, vain person she is. Thought the whole thing was awesome, drunk with power, obsessed with being on Colbert, etc. I wanted to drive my skull through the screen. They totally forget there was a military presence, so they let their freak flags fly.

Further, since 10/7, we have seen the International Left go nuts and bet the farm on a Pallywood-produced fictional genocide.

So to put this all together, they will use the Big Lie of Islamic Victimhood to rationalize and justify actual mass murder of infidels across the West; and as long as it's aimed at the Right, the Left will clap like trained seals and pretend that Anti-Socialists Are The Real Fascists and deserve it.
