![]() Effeminate cuck Jonathan V. Last relentlessly promoted Graham Platner, even calling for him to be the President after winning in 2028. Now he says that no one on the left, and surely no one in leftwing media, is responsible for Graham Platner besides Graham Platner. As the Church Lady wisely observed: "Welllllll, isn't that conVENient." The Democrat operative and Nepo Baby who foisted Graham Platner on the country speaks with an incredibly strange "vocal fry" and "uptalk," like he's a Valley girl. I saw someone speculate that "men" with high-pitched voices affect the vocal fry to try to make their voices sound deeper and more masculine. It doesn't work. Anyway, here's this nepo baby communist freak denying that his "minimal vetting" turned up the Nazi tattoo and they only found "some" of his Reddit posts. And what about Morris Katz, the openly-bisexual freak who wanted to put a picture of his own penis in a book for 10-year-olds about puberty? He's lying: ![]()
![]() I still believe that Noem refused to ban trannies from girls' sports because she knew this blackmail material was out there. So, to hell with her. LOL: Guess which female Democrat politician turns out to be a Karen From Hell, disparaging businesses in her Yelp reviews? [Regarding a massage joing:] "If you want consistent good service, and want to patronize a place that treats employees with respect, I would never recommend this," she wrote. "I cannot continue in good conscience to be a patron, even though it is a very convenient location and a nice facility." She alleged the business had serious management problems, claiming employees who left the spa were treated unfairly and customers were left scrambling when therapists departed. "Note that almost 1/3 of reviews written are 'not recommended.' Management is hiding a serious problem. I was a member here for over six years, so consider my depth of experience with this place in how you judge this review," she continued. Two other places she reviewed -- Tony Pepperoni Pizzeria and Irvine Yellow Cab, which has since permanently closed -- also suffered, receiving two-star and one-star ratings. On the pizza shop she visited in July 2013, Porter posted: "Horrible service on delivery. I ordered at 4:39. I am told 35-40 min. I call to check at 40 min. Driver on way. I call again at 5:31--52 minutes later. "He says driver will call me. He doesn't. I have 20 angry hungry kids! Pizza was decent when it arrived. But allow ample ample time."It's voluminous spouse-abuser Katie Porter. There's more at the link. The girl who was victimized by a "trans" athlete says she was repeatedly invited to suck the alleged trans "girl's" dick. Girls are always saying stuff like that. Well why not report his fake name? Everyone knows it. It's " " " Becky " " " Pepper-Johnson. And the ACLU, representing "Becky," uses "Becky's" name. ![]() "I definitely have a sense of peace about all of it," Cross told Fox News Digital after the ruling. "Although I had to go through all of that, and it doesn't make up for what I had to go through, I know that other girls can be protected, like my sister and my friends who are still on the team." Cross also sent a message to the athlete in the wake of the ruling. "Jesus Christ loves [the athlete] and has a place for [the athlete] if they want to be there," she said. Cross and her parents previously told Fox News Digital the alleged sexual harassment occurred in the girls' locker room during the 2022-23 school year. Cross was in eighth grade, and the trans athlete was in seventh. "When Adaleia first told us, she told us that [the trans athlete] was telling her and other girls 'suck my d--k,'" Cross's mother, Abby Cross, alleged in December. "[The trans athlete] was saying to her, coming up and saying to her, 'I'm going to stick my d--k in your p--y and also in your ass.' At different times [the trans athlete] was saying these things to her." But Adaleia said Wednesday that the entire locker room changed after the athlete joined the girls' team. "A lot of girls, after [the athlete] came into our locker room, started going to the bathroom," Cross said. "They started changing in stalls, which was not really normal."

Watching the gay cruise video … Turkey and Egypt made the right choice.
What’s being hidden is this isn’t a ‘gay cruise’ so much as a gay sex cruise. The promotional material for the cruise — yes, I checked it out — is a thinly veiled pitch for gays to have endless orgies with strange men, including men on the port countries. One of the passengers said that some gay bar in Istanbul (does such a thing exist?) was planning a big event for the cruise passengers. What the fuck does anyone think that would be, if not an invitation for white Euros to fuck dozens of swarthy random men? Posted by: Elric the Blade at July 10, 2026 05:29 PM (hAMhg) 41

I ran across this video on X, and I'm surprised by the reactions to it.
http://tiny.cc/93i6101 In it, an old guy with fishing gear aggressively approaches three young women. One of the very first things he says to them is they're stupid and can't read the fucking sign. Apparently the young women are parked illegally. They tell him multiple times they're leaving and he needs to calm down. Rather than accepting that they're leaving, he decides he has to teach them. He continues to aggressively push the point that they need to obey the rules. One of the women pulls out a bear mace can. Eventually the guy aggressively approaches a woman and the woman maces him. He hits her with a fishing pole. The video then repeats from a different angle where you can see the woman he moved toward. Many of the commenters say she assaulted him, he was walking away, etc. Others feel the need to say the women are dressed like whores. A small percent are on the women's side. I agree with the small percent. Dude had no business marching around aggressively and lecturing them. They said they were leaving. Move on. Posted by: bonhomme at July 10, 2026 05:33 PM (mkw2N) 58

There's a straight line between Biden's HHS making rule changes to the Child Care and Development Fund and this type of fraud.
His changes include: Making payments based on enrollment rather than verified attendance. Requiring payments before services were delivered or attendance verified. Favoring guaranteed contracts/slots over parent vouchers. These changes didn't start the fraud, but they opened the gates wide for fraudsters to have ghost clients and still get paid.

This is the thing that people refuse to understand
Most cultures around the world, with the exception of bits of the West, it is not immoral or wrong or in any way considered bad to steal from those outside your tribe. In some cultures (islam, india, and africa) it is a *virtue* to steal from outsiders. This is ingrained in them from birth. It is in their mythology, the wisdom of their elders, their peers, and their religions. They can not change. This is not to say they are "bad" people, or that it is genetic. It is their culture. It is incompatible. If we accept them (in numbers greater than say, 5% in any one neighborhood) then we become them. Even in low numbers they prey on outsiders. The only solution is mass deportation.

We are doomed, no.wonder the debt is more than we will ever get out of
——- Look up “Odious debt” when you get bored sometime. Anyhoo, the debt was never intended or going to be paid off. It doesn’t work that way with governments, and most especially, with a phony baloney currency they conjure out of thin air. What governments MUST do, however, is make timely interest payments on existing debt. When they cannot, when they don’t, it is GAME OVER. Check out the percentage of revenues or spending on the interest on the debt. This is why interest rates can never be raised to any meaningful realistic level. There would not be enough money to service the Pentagon or Social Security or HUD or USDA or hardly anything. Governments default on debt by diluting the currency, generally speaking. Politically it is much more palatable (for them). That’s why you see the more brain-dead politicians suggesting direct cash payments to offset monetary inflation. Yes they really are that stupid. Basically the government can save the dollar, or they can save the markets. But they can’t save both. No chance. Posted by: Common Tater at July 10, 2026 04:37 PM (aPpm9) 59

If we accept them (in numbers greater than say, 5% in any one neighborhood) then we become them. Even in low numbers they prey on outsiders. The only solution is mass deportation.

ununshocking, my network and power. There's a storm rolling through and it knocks out the power and internet every 20 minutes. I think it is just causing power spikes that drop the modem somehow. But I've had to reset things constantly. And the strikes have to be pretty far away because first I see the lights flicker and then seconds later I hear a distant low rumble.

.44 rimfire is pretty much Unobtanium and has been for a long, long time. I think somebody like Winchester last made a special run of it in the 1930s, but that isn’t in good supply either. Posted by: Common Tater at July 10, 2026 05:08 PM (sZDR4) 169

——- Not even narrowing it down to a particular year. The template for the brave new world is partly drawn from college campuses. The accused are not allowed an attorney. Anonymous charges. Struggle sessions. Expulsion based on he said she said. Sound familiar? My favorite (so far) was a hapless dorm resident. He had a room mate. His room mate in turn had a girlfriend. Said girlfriend gave him a blow job one evening. Whilst he was passed out drunk, having not provided consent (stop laughing!) nor solicitation and has no recollection of the event. But, about 6 months later the free lance fellatrix decided she was the victim in this exchange. The poor guy was expelled. No defense allowed, no right of rebuttal or appeal.

51> Even pilfered money gets wasted beyond comprehension
I think a lot of it gets dumped into the market, either in the form of rental real-estate or stocks and bonds. Of course, hundreds of millions ends up in jewelry, travel and high-end luxury cars. To such an extent that I wonder, as the fraudsters are being busted and their assets liquidated to cover the restitution and fines, how is that going to effect car, mansion and luxury item prices and vendors of such. Is Congress going to create bail-out funds to underwrite the drop off in foreign destination tourism? Will private jet rental market tumble?

Oh the Muslim child-marriage-supporting Keith Ellison was involved? What a surprise. So the pardon was granted precisely to keep this child rapist in the country with access to American children. Content warning for the next section, which you might want to skip: Read the whole article, if you can bear it. DHS says "Fuck you, Walz and Ellison, we're deporting all of your foreign invader rapist pals." Homeland Security
Bonus: The woman Nick Shirley identified as a Learing Center fraudster, defended by the media and Democrats as a Stronk Empowered Somali woman beset by #MuhRacism, just pled guilty to stealing $4.6 million American dollars.

Posted by: It's me donna at July 10, 2026 03:21 PM (rijjI) ====== DHS has a system. They immediately fly arrested individuals to the 5th Circuit. The immigration judges deny every asylum claim (it's like 98% rejection as opposed to the historical average over the last couple of decades of about 80-85% acceptance). 5th denies every habeus claim (it's like 95% of those). Habeus claims have to be filed in the circuit they're being held, not where they were picked up. And then they're deported. Average time is less than 30 days, and that's including the people who actually can slow down the calendar. With a political hot potato like this guy? Accelerate the process and get him on the next plane. For every headline about an immigrant being allowed to stay for whatever reason, it's literally thousands of others who are just getting shipped out.

It’s funny how before 2024 ICE rarely, if ever, faced Antifa-led protests, attacks, riots, and never shot people, but now, because Trump, they are being swarmed by idiot anarchists practically begging to be shot, and it’s ICE’s fault, not the Dem useful idiot foot soldiers who out themselves in the situation.

I really don't see how a pardon in Minnesota is binding to whether or not he's the type of guy ICE should keep in the country. And whether or not he has done the actions of the "worst of the worst".

It's not said by Rubio, but since the Laotian had to be picked up by ICE outside of the prison or courthouse (dude never spent a day in jail, by the way), they had to go into the community.
ICE still has the process of picking up everyone illegal they encounter. They probably picked up others and deported them as well. Posted by: TheJamesMadison, discovering British horror with Hammer Films at July 10, 2026 03:27 PM (GKzf4) 83

Posted by: whig at July 10, 2026 03:29 PM (E4rtv) ====== This is true. The Judiciary Acts that formed the lower courts and subsequently modified them are explicit that district court judges have zero jurisdiction over immigration matters. I'd love for some kind of real punishment for judges that exceed that jurisdiction. But the best punishment in our current system is always going to be impeachment, and we need 14 Democrats to convict in the Senate, so nothing happens. A modification of the Judiciary Act that gives SCOTUS authority to fire judges who operate outside of statutorial bounds would be a not bad addition, I don't think.

All cultures are the same!
- The Left ——- No, they don’t claim that at all. They claim no particular culture or cultural practices are any better than another. Everything is just whatever, and who can say anything is objectively good or bad or evil. No sane person believes any of this pseudoscience quackery, but they want you to. It lays the groundwork for the kind of shit going on. Moving from the first world homogenous (cultural) high trust society, to third world shithole requires managing expectations, so to speak.

Mullin has taken a different approach. He's taken the groundwork Noem started, and just dialed down the exterior volume. Raids are smaller with less fanfare, for instance.

I mean, he might just say on Monday: I didn't get the "reassurances" I wanted so I'm in it to win it.Halperin said no special "paperwork" is needed -- a simple email to the Secretary of State, announcing a withdrawal, will do it. So why does he need the weekend to compose an email? LOL. If he stays in the race, I might just support him. What a troll that would be. Stay strong, stay brave, King. Platner was recruited and promoted by two Democrat operatives: Morris Katz, a bisexual who proposed including a picture of his penis in a book intended for children to explain puberty to them, and Daneil Moraff, a nepo baby heir to the Toys-R-Us fortune who did what most nepo babies do and decided communism was a great idea. By the way, rich bitch nepo babies admire socialism and communism because they know, first hand, that some very wealthy people did not work a single minute for that money and do not deserve it. Of course, they universalize from their own narrow experience and construct fantasies that no one else earned their money, either, which is a Comforting Cope for them because it lets them believe that their own experience of doing nothing, creating nothing, contributing nothing yet being massively rich is a common thing. Now, if they feel guilty about being undeservedly rich, they could give their money away to charity. But they never do -- they want to continue enjoying the benefits of immense, unearned wealth. So what they do instead is push for socialism and communism, while continuing to enjoy the fruits of capitalism. They get to "do penance" for their massively-unearned massive wealth by agitating for socialism while actually giving up precisely nothing. Win-win, huh? Except for everyone else. Anyway. Democrats are pissed at this pair of political hustlers for foisting the Humble Oysterrapist on them, and they're opening all their dirt files on the two. This report suggests a reason for Daniel Moraff not being too distressed about Graham Platner's history of rape and sexual violence. PA. - Yesterday, Payday Report learned that Congresswoman Summer Lee barred Moraff from her 2022 congressional campaign after receiving at least three complaints of sexual misconduct against Moraff. Now, Moraff, who recruited Graham Platner to run for Senate in Maine, is at the center of a massive controversy after he admitted that he spent only a few days vetting Platner, who just withdrew from the Senate race after he was accused of rape. Given the fact that both Congresswoman Lee and Justice Democrats stopped working with Moraff following these accusations, questions have been raised about why so many on the left trusted him to give a thorough vetting and assessment of Platner. "Birds of a feather, flock together and Moraff and Platner were predators," said one woman, who says she was sexually harassed while working to elect Congresswoman Lee.

Of course, they universalize from their own narrow experience and construct fantasies that no one else earned their money, either, which is a Comforting Cope for them because it lets them believe that their own experience of doing nothing, creating nothing, contributing nothing yet being massively rich is a common thing.

Willowed, and still on topic, since we're discussing Platner, a combination Nazi/Commie -
I don't see much meaningful differences between Fascist, Socialist and Communist governments - obey the state or face negative consequences for offending the state - other than varying degrees and scales of punishments. But everyone says one is Evil Far Right Wing and the others are maybe a little center left or a tiny bit further left than center left (never Evil Far Left Wing). So where does a limited government whose primary job is to protect the God-given rights of its citizens belong on this particular Left/Right scale? It doesn't.

But "suspending" isn't enough to trigger a replacement. Shit Nazi knows this. He's might just be dragging out the clock until the deadline. At that point, he can make up some bullshit about how his supporters begged him to stay in, or whatever, and he doesn't formally drop out.

Joy Reid has given Maine Democrats permission to stay home come election time if Platner is not replaced by a Progressive candidate.
A DU commenter has some thoughts: "If you sit this one out ( Joy Reid on Platner ) {blasphemy removed} How did staying at home because Kamala wasn’t perfect enough on every single issue work out for you? These insane a-holes aren’t just destroying our democracy, they’re destroying your children and grandchildren’s planet. And you’re going to stay home because you didn’t get your preferred candidate? WTF, WTF. WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU !! It’s going to take decades to recover from this current mess and you want to extend it. !? A Randi Rhodes used to say, you fall in love during the primaries but you fall in line for the general election. It’s gotta be vote blue… I have voted for democratic candidates that weren’t my cup of tea because any democratic candidate is better than any republican. Yes we’ve had really abysmal candidates but if you haven’t learned by now that staying home is a vote for republicans then you’re beyond help. {blasphemy removed}, if you’re don’t think things can get worse then you’re delusional."

He's doing this because he hasn't been paid off for quitting and he's trying to bait the DNC/DSCC into doing so. They clearly don't think it's worth their money to get rid of him, but look for Maine Dem prosecutors to start sniffing around Platner's rapes if he doesn't actually quit.

I don't see much meaningful differences between Fascist, Socialist and Communist governments - obey the state or face negative consequences for offending the state - other than varying degrees and scales of punishments. But everyone says one is Evil Far Right Wing and the others are maybe a little center left or a tiny bit further left than center left (never Evil Far Left Wing). So where does a limited government whose primary job is to protect the God-given rights of its citizens belong on this particular Left/Right scale? It doesn't.
Posted by: Chuck Martel at July 10, 2026 02:19 PM (Dv3i1) It's an Overton Window scam, and always has been. Fascism is Left Wing; Communism is Far Left Wing, and the Regulatory State is Center Left.

Fascism is Left Wing; Communism is Far Left Wing, and the Regulatory State is Center Left. The Right Wing is various shades of Anti-Socialism. Pretending that a form of socialism is far-right is just a cheap, transparent gambit to try to make anti-socialism unthinkable.
Posted by: SciVo at July 10, 2026 02:43 PM (Sy6m/) --- "Right-wing" is a bag that conservatives and traditionals dutifully hold out so that leftists can dump "fascism" into it. I reject the bag labeled "Right". I do think I am a "fascist" in queer terms though. Yes, I do expect them to restrain themselves.

Texas Senate Candidate Talarico Says He’d Break with Democrats on Guns, Offers No Specifics
Stephen Gutowski June 11, 2026 "The candidate Democrats are counting on to help flip the United States Senate explained some of his views on gun policy this week. On Monday, James Talarico joined the Cogdell Law Uncensored podcast and described where he stands on firearms. He outlined his beliefs in broad strokes but didn’t provide many specifics. He implied he would go against party leadership on the issue, but didn’t give a specific example of how–though, he did decry “people on the left who are trying to take away people’s guns.” “We have a right to bear arms, to protect ourselves, our families. We have a right to own weapons for sport or for hunting,” Talarico said. “But like any freedom in the Bill of Rights, it’s not absolute.” The comments reveal part of Talarico’s strategy in his race against Republican nominee and current Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton."

Trump's kids are all capitalists. So are a lot of rich nepo kids. So it's not just that they have unearned wealth. There is something more.

I asked him about tethers to get cargo into higher orbit without propellant (that rocket equation, what a rascal!).

Sometimes you’ll hear people pointing towards the “De-Nazification” of Germany as analogue to things, like cleansing the Communist infiltrators in the. USA. Well in point of order, what the military planners in charge of post-war Germany found, it was damned tough to find anybody competent who wasn’t associated with the regime. Now what? And the US government imported thousands of chemical, biological, and propaganda warfare specialists to America under the aegis of the “Paperclip” program. We like to think of the 1950s and Eisenhower era as some sort of halcyon time, but there was some really super skeevy shit going down under the radar.

I read an argument that Roswell was actually two related things the government didn't want to talk about at the time: The US government working on top secret radiation detection balloons (the supposed spaceship) and was doing radiation experiments on corpses to see the effect of radiation on human tissue...conducted with a fair number of German/Paperclip scientists. Note later we detected the initial Soviet nuclear tests with radiation detection balloons and there was a scandal a few years later when it came out that the US had been using corpses that might or might not have been legally acquired for radiation testing on human tissue. So the argument goes letting people believe it was aliens instead solved a bunch of problems and that's why the government kept acting like they were hiding an alien crash site...

Posted by: TheJamesMadison ===== Internet media on the right is based a lot on rage clicks which eventually demoralize and demotivate voters on the Right. You can get okay information from even crappy left biased sources but you have to read carefully with prior knowledge from other stories in the past plus the relative credibility of the source--some will lie with abandon, others will lie by more subtle means like omission. Clickbait rage stories on the right however, are simpatico with ideals but it leaves the impression that a) these specific instances are the general rule, b) that nothing can be done about it. So impotent rage eventually leads to disengagement and depression in the long run. Go to original sources, even leftist ones, first and then you can weigh the credibility and usefulness of any right commentary on it.

I continue to believe the whole gain-of-function and Wuhan lab wasn't a real lab doing real work. It was primarily a money-laundering operation to soak up piles of American money and send it to Democrap and foreign constituents.
Why do I think this? Just look at the videos of the Wuhan lab and the supposedly careful and dangerous work they were doing. The lab was a joke -- less secure and safe than a high school biology lab. Experimenting with dangerous viruses in Wuhan would be like splicing BSL-4 pathogens in an open-air kiosk inside a mall. There's no way anyone really believed the Wuhan lab was capable of doing any real work on viruses. It wasn't supposed to. It was intended to suck up money. But somewhere along the line, the Bat Lady actually went and created something. Of course it got out. What wouldn't have escaped that lab? There were almost no containment or safety protocols in place. Posted by: Elric The Blade at July 10, 2026 01:40 PM (iFTx/) 134

134 72% of Maine Democrats voted for Platner after The NEW YORK TIMES told them that he had sexually abused a woman.
One other point here, this was in a primary election. They can't even claim they did it to "stop Trump"...Mills hasn't raped anyone and would implement all the same policies they want. They just intentionally choose the neo-NAZI rapist. Posted by: 18-1 at July 10, 2026 01:40 PM (sKqQm) ======= Mills, sitting Maine governor, had to suspend her campaign because she ran out of money.

Firing people for refusing to get vaxxed...
The initial argument was that the clot shot stopped the spread of COVID. So they could mandate you not go to the office or a movie or something without the clot shot because then you could spread COVID. Of course shortly it came out that Moderna and Pfizer faked their effectivity data and the line became no the clot shot won't stop you from getting COVID it will just make you less sick when you get it. But...they kept all the clot shot mandates in place even after they agreed the reason for them was bullshit Posted by: 18-1 at July 10, 2026 01:44 PM (sKqQm) 149

The origins of the coronavirus pandemic remain contested; the evidence is incomplete. But pundits, activists, and members of the Trump administration have long insisted that the case is closed, and that the virus slipped out from a lab in China. They've maintained the view that U.S. scientists were involved and later tried to hide the facts. They've said that justice must be served. --- Yeah, because only Trump ever prematurely closed the book on anything regarding the pandemic.

Covid is my litmus test for the ability of a leftist to think for themselves. There is overwhelming evidence that it was a lab leak. In fact, there is actually zero evidence it jumped from bat to human. There is also actual evidence that it was funded by the NIH through EcoHealth Alliance, meaning, Fauci actually has some responsibility for the deaths of hundred of thousands of people.

Or some other crappy nostalgic view on what was lost in the unrecoverable past. We can only move forward and we do have agency, each and every one of us and nothing is inevitable--it is always a choice by those in society at the time to curl up and die or fight for another possible win.

Nope. Just, total belief. And then total disbelief that the US might have completely destroyed Iran's ability to project force beyond a diminishing number of GPS guided drones and dudes with AK's in fishing boats.

And the SCOTUS has been silent.
The SCOTUS forte is only School-marmish rule and causing bloody civil wars because judges know stuff. Posted by: Axeman Because Scotus, at its heart, has had Federalist Society appointees for the GOP and rabid leftists for the Democrats. Federalist Society types are judicial restraintists and corporatists in nature, the left are different shades of commies. So other than the rare justices like Thomas and Alito and perhaps Scalia at times, the gumption to throw aways decades or even a century or more of bad law is simply not within the abilities of Federalist type society members like Kavanaugh, Roberts, or ACB. Stare decisis should never 'preserve' bad readings of the US Constitution--should never negate clauses that the current legal or political community don't like such as the contract clause, the privileges and immunities clause, the 9th Amendment, or other provisions like the guaranty clause. Words in a Constitution have to mean enforceable language regardless of some cowardly or evil court rulings in the past that say the opposite or twist a common definition to win a case majority.

Covid is my litmus test for the ability of a leftist to think for themselves. There is overwhelming evidence that it was a lab leak
An old buddy said just yesterday - in the same breath “I’ve had the shot and all the boosters” and that he’s had Covid, and it’s really no big deal. Like a sinus infection. I guess the vaccine is really effective? Or … it doesn’t work very well either. Or … it isn’t really very safe either. “Lessens the symptoms”.

The original work on the COVID virus was done in the US. It was only when the research got too close to breaking anti-biowarfare law that it was sent to be finished in Wuhan, in cooperation with US researchers. If I remember the timeline correctly, it was immediately after a visit by US researchers to the Wuhan lab, around the time of the International Military Games (sort of an armed forces version of the Olympics) were being held in Wuhan, that evidence of the first leaks was determined. This was late in 2019, just in time for those military athletes to take the virus home with them. The Communist Chinese have always held that it was the visiting US researchers who released the virus. From the timing, this may be true.

== No. Its pretty straightforward criminal logic. You make the disease. Know its DNA. You design a vaccine. You let the disease lose, and you monetize the cure. Instant billions. One of the Wuhan guys filed for a Covid vaccine patent within a month of the outbreak. Way too fast for him to have gotten the sequence in the wild and then figured out the DNA and then figured out a vaccine that worked. Not that long ago, that same guy happened to fall off the roof of the Wuhan Research Bldg. Odd. I suspect as the information continues to come out, more such people will have unusual slip and falls, or bathing with toasters incidents.

Guyanese. That's an odd one.
But the illegal who stabbed that baby in the face at a Walmart after being released from jail for stabbing her father, desecrating a church and lighting its priest on fire was an Hispanic illegal, too. It's easy to guess "Muslim" on these, because it's a Satanic religion that always tells people to attack churches and synagogues.

I think the Democrats have lost control of the situation. It is way too obvious now with the teen gang takeovers, the constant drumbeat of criminals being released and then committing even more heinous crimes. The Socialists winning seats from long time Democrat incumbents. Even the Platner saga with him refusing to actually resign. They can no longer make their foot soldiers obey. Touting AOC, Talerico, Buttijudge as the future. Supporting Mamdani. They have lost the narrative and no longer supporting their former working class base. This will not end well.

Hold On — Was There a Dirty Quid Quo Bro for Graham Platner? Radio host and Fox News talking head, Clay Travis, who's an attorney, said that Maine's sexual assault statute of limitations is as long as 20 years. This alleged rape happened five years ago. Travis openly wondered on Jesse Watters Primetime if Platner made a deal with the state's political kingpins, that they would call off prosecutors if their pet rapist would drop out of the race. https://tinyurl.com/vd9xm4kb Posted by: Archimedes at July 10, 2026 12:32 PM (Riz8t) 107

Noem getting divorced from her cross dressing husband. Posted by: WisRich ...... He must have left skid marks in her panties. Posted by: wth at July 10, 2026 12:32 PM (UjdFS) 110
103 Former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has begun the process of divorcing her husband Bryon following bombshell revelations earlier this year that he engaged in a lurid secret life of cross-dressing and chatting online with fetish models.

Hey, how about a little history to wash down this Guyanese philosopher:
On July 10, 1776, General George Washington received his official copy of the Declaration of Independence at his New York City headquarters. He read it to his troops but had to issue a stern warning against rioting and looting, as soldiers had just toppled a statue of King George III the day prior.

On the pilot episode of Schadenfreude Fridays, remember that gay sex cruise that was denied entry into Turkish ports? Well, the cruise went to Cairo instead. Guess what? Egypt told them to fuck off too.
You'd need a heart of stone not to laugh. Of course, the gays on the cruise still don't get it. They are blaming "conservatives" in these countries for not allowing them in. Probably also Trump's fault too somehow. They are mentally incapable of admitting who and what Islam is. Imams could literally be throwing them off roofs, and the gays will still never admit that it's Islam that wants them dead. https://tinyurl.com/hfer6cj7 Posted by: Elric The Blade at July 10, 2026 12:37 PM (iFTx/) 123

Things seem to have gone dark regarding Cuba. Posted by: Auspex ====== They had another nationwide blackout a few days ago. Simply put, they are not particularly strategic anymore and are rotting in place until the system collapses. Something similar is happening to Iran--the two key railroad bridges that link to China, Turkmenistan, etc. were blown up and that means arduous and expensive trucking work arounds when the entire region has a shortage of trucks. Kazakhstan closed the border to prevent all its vehicle fuel being bought up by desperate Russians. China is bluntly telling Iran to stop its attacks, Bahrain, Kuwait, and perhaps UAE were involved in direct strikes on Iranian positions in the Gulf, etc. Pieces are moving across the chessboard while our media concentrates on idiocies like trying to disprove Trump fixing up monuments in DC.

I guess Semolina flour or Durham wheat is open to some interpretation. The store brand el-cheapo stuff doesn’t have an el-dente stage, just a “not done yet” and completely falls apart.

Posted by: Braenyard - some Absent Friends are more equal than others _ at July 10, 2026 02:10 PM (UsddL) Service Businesses with Little or No Staffing; Waymo's Problems Are at the Intersection of the War on Labor Expense and the EV Follies![]() Dave Guingona told the [TV station] he spent nearly two hours in standstill traffic until a number of Waymo vehicles were cleared from a roadway.Did I mention that these ridiculous vehicles are EVs? Several Waymo vehicles had to be towed away after the company said their batteries died while they were stuck in heavy San Francisco traffic amid Fourth of July celebrations.I also mentioned that there is a serious downside to putting customers in complicated products without having any employees present who can work with those customers to deal with problems that arise. “We realized people were getting out of their cars, yelling and screaming at these Waymos because there were no drivers,” he said.A Waymo spokesman blamed his cars’ malfunctioning on “severe traffic congestion”, adding that "Our team is always evaluating ways to strengthen Waymo's resilience in major traffic disruptions." Human drivers do not freeze up and stop operating in gridlock traffic. We may get mad, but we don’t just abandon our cars in the roadway. Waymo cannot say the same. This is clearly a technology that is not ready to be turned loose on city streets if something as common as traffic congestion causes the cars to just stop working in the middle of already crowded roads. In addition, it took several hours for Waymo to scrape together some actual humans that could assist in removing their vehicles from the road, making it the city’s problem to clear the streets. It should be noted that Uber, Lyft, and traditional taxicabs did not abandon their vehicles in busy roadways like Waymo did, nor did they drive over exploding fireworks. Cities should rethink whether a company like Waymo that is habitually derelict in its conduct on public roads should be given access to those roads. ![]() Democrats also demand that the use of fossil fuels be abolished. Doing so would impoverish people in a way that makes Cuba look prosperous. It would also be a form of mass murder. Before air conditioning, tens of thousands of Americans died from summer heat, especially during the prolonged heat waves of the 1930s. As Energy Secretary Chris Wright noted in a tweet on the morning of July 2, just 9 percent of the energy powering the 13-state Mid-Atlantic region was coming from “renewable” sources. Ninety-one percent was coming from natural gas, coal, and nuclear. In Europe, there is also a war on farming, because it is a belief of the climate cult that the petroleum used in agriculture, especially to make fertilizer, is destroying the planet. The “intellectual” class pursuing Net Zero in Europe seems to believe that food comes from grocery stores, not farms; therefore, they see no harm in effectively outlawing farming. Nothing that the DSA is proposing is as radical as the climate cultists effectively seeking to abolish food production, yet Democrats in the U.S. stand in solidarity with the European Net Zero agenda. Starvation is a predictable outcome of communism, yet that is on the agenda of the climate crowd.This piece is not behind a paywall. I’d be honored if you’d give it a read.

I take the Slug Line from where I live to where I work.
It works thusly: You drive to a commuter lot, get out, stand in line, and get picked up by a random driver headed to the same place you are. You get a free ride to work. The driver gets (with three people in the car) a free trip up the Express Lanes (otherwise tolled at about $50/day, each way) to the place he's driving anyway. Do the same thing in reverse going home. A few weeks ago, a driver in a Tesla put on the self-drive mode and FELL THE FUCK ASLEEP!

I'm a maneuvering driver. So, when I'm approaching another car, I check all my mirrors and blind spots and start planning a maneuver to pass the slower vehicle. I use the cruise to maintain my speed until I can accelerate to pass (or just slide on out, depending on traffic) and here it is slowing me down. Far enough back I'm going to be in some other faster guy's way for a bit while I catch and pass the vehicle in front of me. If the computer is going to drive like someone afraid to change lanes it's going to frustrate me awfully. (Why, yes, I did learn to fly in formation, and it improved my driving considerably.)

Buck> ... I am not a fan of self-driving cars.
How about being a fan of self-driving trucks? The status quo with foreign, low-trust, low-IQ slave labor as power only truck "driver" and their foreign owned and controlled power only brokers is a total disaster. Furthermore, California has imposed irrevocable emissions standards on trucks operating in their state. Drayage is probably the most insulting and least paying function a truck driver can do, and given port logistics, self-driving drayage EV trucks would seem to be a Win-Win. The routes are highly predictable, will respond best to the wealth of training data and arguably safer than Pejeet preparing stir-fry while navigating on the highways.

Oh, but they will try this!! Last year we had an internet issue.

I was at Aldi recently and my steak wouldn’t scan at the self-check register, nor would it recognize the SKU number I typed in. Aldi’s war on labor expense means that it has decided that one lone employee can apparently handle all upfront roles, with his/her primary focus being to serve as the cashier at the sole checkout lane that is staffed. That same person is somehow supposed to check IDs for alcohol purchases at the self-check lines, and also attend to scanning and payment problems at self-check stations. It was clear that I was not going to get assistance for my problem, so in frustration I just left the steak sitting there and I left. I felt bad about it later, not so much because “I’m better than that,” but because I hated to see that steak go to waste. I felt remorse for the cow, not for Aldi.
***** I am in no way in favor of theft - but when someone is in that intolerable situation, with no employees to be found, I would not blame them for just tossing the steak in the bag and walking out with it. You tried to give them the money, but Aldi wouldn't take it. Posted by: Tom Servo at July 10, 2026 11:14 AM (edUvp) 44

Car driving down road. Passes oncoming school bus that is stopped with sign out and red lights flashing. Demo part was at the back end of bus, a robot "kid" pops out from between two cars. Driverless car nails kid. Everyone is defending car. "No one could stop that fast". You fucking inbred hillbillies, YES, everyone could stop in time BECAUSE they would have stopped before the bus like they are legally liable for. That was the whole point of the demonstration.

The only driverless things I've been on are those little shuttle trains at various airports. They run on tracks, on a loop or just back and forth on the same rail. Don't hear too much about those. But, in comparison to driverless cars or trucks, they're pretty simplistic.

@14/Stateless: "On the plus side, thanks to certain, um, demographics, self checkout is taking a hit. Even Walmart at my part of Canada, I'm seeing more cashiers."
Which pretty much all of us predicted as soon as we saw this nonsense go into play. No-Frills in my corner of Canada has re-done the self checkout area: - 6 stations - No carts permitted, only hand baskets or what you can carry in your arms. - One employee monitoring and "helping". Still not enough manned cashiers. They have like 10 or 12, and there's only 2 or 3 open, sometimes 5 at pre-scheduled times when they estimate traffic will be heavy. What really irks me is the self-checkout stations at places like Metro, where each item must be scanned individually, and placed into the weighing area. There you CAN bring a cart, but the weighing area doesn't have enough space to hold a cart full of items.

You mentioned "rental", but the more upscale cars not only have adaptive cruise but will also orchestrate safe passing. Not knowing how aggressive you are — passing three or more cars and the farm tractor leading them at a time on a two-lane, might be outside the permissible passing rules programmed into Nav By Wire systems.

Automation is the result of wages being too high.
Cashier jobs SHOULDN'T support a family. It's low skill. But our "betters" have decided that it should be $15 per hour. So now we have 10 open self-checkouts (and 15 more that are closed!) and 2 cashier lanes at Kroger. I will say that I had zero issues when I went to the grocery store in my hometown while visiting for my mother's birthday. No self-checkouts and no lines either.

I read that NVidia's newest AI datacenters will have a closed loop water cooling system, so people will stop bitching about water usage. TBH, I'm not sure why they didn't do that before.

I dont really have a strong opinion one way or the other on self-checkout; its no more work for me, and I dont have to engage anyone in conversation (or, more likely, be forced to listen to the conversation in front of me). Im usually faster than the cashiers anyway.
But I very much prefer scan-as-you-shop over any sort of checkout. Instead of loading/unloading/queuing/reloading, all the steps are combined into one: fill my bags, point the phone at a screen, and walk out; maybe someone looks at the top three items. Further, I get to see the scanned price as I load my bags: no surprises at checkout, no waiting for someone to price-check something. Just put it back on the shelf, done. (If I want to have a conversation about it, I can still bring it up, but I dont want a conversation about it.) I can see why owners, in low-trust areas, would be against this; but as a customer there is no contest. Faster, easier, less hassle. I drive out of my way to go to grocery stores that support scan-as-you-go. Posted by: Stephen Price Blair at July 10, 2026 11:30 AM (kYmoU) 102
@80/Archimedes: "I read that NVidia's newest AI datacenters will have a closed loop water cooling system, so people will stop bitching about water usage. TBH, I'm not sure why they didn't do that before."
Water usage is a distraction from the power usage, specifically how much of it they're pulling down, and what it's going to do to the grid's reliability, and how much it's going to increase people's individual power bills. Supply and demand is a bitch when aggregate demand doubles or triples, and infrastructure needs time and investment to catch up. "Bring your own power plant" should have been the response to new data centers everywhere, along with full regulatory compliance with ALL Department of Energy regulations, plus applicable state laws and regs.

There is a fundamental difference between the
- fundamental software architecture - sensor suite - magnitude of training data - business case … between Waymo and Tesla Robotaxi / Cybercab, and these factors all strongly favor Tesla. The latest data suggests that Tesla self-driving is up to 8X safer than human driving based on miles per serious collision. IIRC, the average human has a collision about once per 600k miles, while Tesla FSD is in the multiple millions of miles and getting better.

14> "On the plus side, thanks to certain, um, demographics, self checkout is taking a hit. Even Walmart at my part of Canada, I'm seeing more cashiers."
It'll be back at Walmart. Sams has been perfecting computer vision at self-serve checkout stands. If you bring up 12 items and scan 11 or scan 1 twice as a proxy (when there is only one of that SKU in the cart) your odds of being quick checked at the exit is pretty high. While CV isn't reading the barcodes, the barcodes resolve into product image templates where AI sees a SKU for a bag of Fritos and it expects to see a bag of Fritos being scanned by the customer. Forget to scan the case of beer loaded on the lower tray — you will be stopped. Posted by: Community Notes at July 10, 2026 11:32 AM (pUU4E) 113

"The Passengers"
You’re riding in your self-driving car when suddenly the doors lock, the route changes and you have lost all control. Then, a mysterious voice tells you, “You are going to die.” Just as self-driving cars become the trusted, safer norm, eight people find themselves in this terrifying situation, including a faded TV star, a pregnant young woman, an abused wife fleeing her husband, an undocumented immigrant, a husband and wife, and a suicidal man. From cameras hidden in their cars, their panic is broadcast to millions of people around the world. But the public will show their true colors when they are asked, "Which of these people should we save?...And who should we kill first?" Posted by: Lizzy at July 10, 2026 11:38 AM (X8xt3) 135

103> while Tesla FSD is in the multiple millions of miles and getting better.
Tesla isn't doing donuts in the ice-overed mall parking lot, shoving food in its mouth, falling asleep, drunk or distracted by TikTok videos or rowdy children while moving. It isn't trying to ford through flood water covered roadways, pass several cars at once, speed way over posted, crash stop signs and lights, driving through medians and grass strips to avoid stopped traffic due to a wreck. Don't know, but highly suspect that it won't move unless the oil and tire pressure is right, the brakes and lights work or wipers don't clear the camera from mud and rainwater. Factor those behaviors out of drivers and how does the comparison look? Posted by: Community Notes at July 10, 2026 11:40 AM (9s47C) 141

"What would you say you do here?" OpenAI wants its new tool to do your work for you and with you Rebranded Codex promises independent workflows that can run “for hours if needed.” ChatGPT Work can connect to common workplace management tools like Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Drive, and SharePoint through various custom-built plugins. The desktop version of the new tool can also access and modify your desktop files or use a built-in browser to access online resources. OpenAI says an updated ChatGPT Chrome extension will also let you perform web-native tasks without switching out of the browser...The ChatGPT Work system will access these outside resources automatically when it seems necessary to complete a prompted task, but users can also reference an outside app directly with the “@” symbol to force the use of a specific third-party tool. https://tinyurl.com/2fk7xwub Posted by: Archimedes at July 10, 2026 11:41 AM (Riz8t) Posted by: man at July 10, 2026 11:41 AM (cGjQu) 143
What I love most of all is the decades long rhetorical schizophrenia we’ve all been subject to.
Since automation and robots and AI and the rest of it is inevitably going to unemploy millions and hit unskilled or semiskilled (or even skilled labor) the hardest, importing yet even more millions illegally - who have less than zero job prospects - and against the vehement protests of the citizenry borders on malevolent insanity with a bath salts chaser. We’re also constantly admonished about “the environment”. Importing millions and millions places ever increasing demands on freshwater, more road construction, housing, timber, energy needs, hospitals, sewage, pollution and everything else. There were 90 million Americans on “food stamps” and other assistance programs, that was probably 20 years ago. “Full employment” my ass. Just because someone has a job doesn’t mean they can support themselves or family. Federal spending has perverted and diverted the normal feedback mechanisms. This is not by accident. No system no matter how well meaning or intended cannot be re-directed for unscrupulous purposes. Posted by: Common Tater at July 10, 2026 11:41 AM (nOWpl) 144

And the Tesla self driving is predominantly going to be used situationally anyway whereas all the rest of the miles anywhere, including in dangerous conditions, will be human driven. I guess I just don't trust statistics to begin with.
Posted by: ... at July 10, 2026 11:46 AM (SWQdN) 175
The latest data suggests that Tesla self-driving is up to 8X safer than human driving based on miles per serious collision.
_______ All those stats -- and the stats for self-driving Waymo cars -- are all cherrypicked bullshit. They are based on much slower, mostly urban driving where "serious" accidents are very rare. If you include minor accidents and fender-benders, or if you included more high-speed miles for the self-drive cars, the statistics would be inverted. It's worth nothing that even in modern cars where the driver drives, there are a whole host of safety systems that supposedly help the human driver. My new car has so many of them I can't even count them. I turn them all off with the exception of lane-change assist. Posted by: Elric The Blade at July 10, 2026 11:47 AM (iFTx/) 176

I read that NVidia's newest AI datacenters will have a closed loop water cooling system, so people will stop bitching about water usage.
NO! NIMBY! BANANA! to Data Centers because they use electricity and water and increase traffic and return economic benefit. Yawn towards the exact same land developed for 1000 low to mid income homes that uses electricity, water + need schools, courts, fire, 100x times more traffic and may break even on taxes. And Data Centers don't need a huge water treatment plane, and they often can and soon will produce their own non-grid power. We are an irrational people.

Think the only way for self-driving cars to work well is to have it 100% self-driving. That way they can program based on the predictable, uniform behavior of the other vehicles on the road.
Posted by: Lizzy at July 10, 2026 11:27 AM One problem with that is that not everything you have to avoid on the road is another car. You've got gators and other debris and construction barrels and breakdowns and you'll find pedestrians in the damnedest places. However the news isn't all bad. Kalman filters make it possible to track any number of objects and predict their behavior well enough to avoid them. The tricky bit is telling which parts of an image are a single object and dealing with figuring out which things in an image belong to the road, which to the road environment, and which are obstacles. None of that is unsolvable. It's an interesting problem that I'd be working on, if I wasn't more actively involved in becoming fabulously wealthy first.

I exoect some of you aren't shopping for 5-7 people at a shot. Getting trapped doing that along with a few others in a self checkout while the two open lanes are stacked up into the aisles will give you an idea of why there's a demand for actual checkers and baggers.
It sucks dong.

I said “huh?” But rather than just dismissing it, I tried to figure out where that story came from. 1st determined that the official high, horrible, burning death temperature in Paris that day was 86 degrees. But some guy who was at Disney-Paris had a phone with a temperature sensor on it, and he let it lay on hot asphalt in full sun until it read 51 C (120 F) and then posted it and said “look how hot it was in Paris today!” And so now the global warming fan club is posting and reposting that picture everywhere they can as “proof”.

The Girl Math Liberation Front argued that traditional mathematics had been oppressively logical, binary, and dominated by dead white men like Pythagoras for far too long. Instead, they want classrooms to embrace a more inclusive, emotionally intelligent approach rooted in female financial intuition and vibes.

The quotes here about how self-driving safety is based on phoney stats are gonna be priceless, and a lot sooner than you think!
And the thing about the use of self driving remaining selective is a fond fantasy of modern Luddites. More and more people are reporting that they use it essentially 100% of the time. And many of those people are getting 50% off their insurance premium for every mile they let Tesla drive! Insurance companies understand risk. Remember the two photos of 5th (?) Avenue in NYC from the early 1900’s? The first photo shows the street clogged with horse-drawn carriages, with one automobile in the background. The second, from about 5 years later, shows the complete opposite! That’s what’s gonna happen, IMHO! Posted by: Ray Van Dune at July 10, 2026 12:20 PM (UWN7z) 240

Mentioned this before, but the Rock Island Arsenal has a military weapons museum. All kinds of stuff, neat place. Congress had a big investigation in 1876 due to the unpleasantness with Custer’s 7th, and somehow they obtained a few of the Indian rifles that were used there. They liked to use brass tacks on the stocks in geometric designs, things like that. Henry repeaters, the forerunner of the Winchester.

Speaking of Indian weapons - if you ever saw the movie Last of the Mohicans they give Chingachgook an odd looking club.
This is a real historical weapon called a Gunstock war club. It looks like a rifle/musket but is just a club. Supposedly the Indians saw colonists use muskets as effective clubs and therefore designed clubs in the same shape Posted by: 18-1 at July 10, 2026 10:01 AM (sKqQm) 83

Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at July 10, 2026 10:02 AM (1z8ji) 84
Interesting in the lack of color. At first I thought it was an ink wash but the details are too exact. Remington certainly conveyed the essence of the battle: A small, now isolated, stand of the troopers facing the overwhelming numbers of Indians. The crowding in the foreground is in stark contrast to the small, distant cluster on the hill.

Lesser known fact about Custer; he may have won the Battle of Gettysburg and the Civil War. Lee's plan was to have J.E.B. Stuart attack the Union line from the rear as Pickett attacked from the front. Custer's cavalry blocked Stuart from arriving in the Union rear to launch his attack. Custer's men later killed Stuart at Yellow Tavern.

111 Lesser known fact about Custer; he may have won the Battle of Gettysburg and the Civil War. Lee's plan was to have J.E.B. Stuart attack the Union line from the rear as Pickett attacked from the front. Custer's cavalry blocked Stuart from arriving in the Union rear to launch his attack. Custer's men later killed Stuart at Yellow Tavern.

@95 A historian I knew at the time won the Norton Prize about 30 years ago by doing a several year research project there. They have thousands of old pattern muskets and interchangeable parts still in stock, cosmolened. He used an electron microscope to reveal the fact that, even though economic philosophers have reviled "armory practice" mass production for putting skilled craftsmen out of work, in practice the Army's insistence on field-exchangeable parts resulted in a lot of file marks -- proof of increased employment and higher-paid gunsmiths. They also have all their hand-script pay records, so he was able to back up the observation with, literal, receipts. A meaningful sidelight to industrial archeology.

Fight on the Little Big Horn, circa 1900
Frederic Remington This is a pretty public thread; did I miss the land acknowledgement? "Fight on the Little Bighorn" (circa 1900) is an acclaimed oil painting by Frederic Remington, prominently depicting the famed 1876 battle. It is permanently housed at The Brinton Museum in Big Horn, Wyoming, which offers dedicated exhibits showcasing Remington's iconic depictions of the American West. The work reflects the exact period when Remington shifted away from literal magazine illustrations toward impressionistic fine art. He created a few notable works focused on Custer and the 7th Cavalry, including Custer's Last Charge (A Sabre Charge) and a pen-and-ink drawing for Mrs. Custer, though the Brinton painting is his primary large-scale interpretation of the event. Rather than focusing on a heroic, idealized depiction of George Armstrong Custer, Remington chose to capture a chaotic, dust-filled melee. The style highlights the desperation, movement, and heat of the battle. The romanticized "Last Stand" themes, the underdogs against overwhelming odds. He had a wonderful body of work. Would hang this painting. A good weekend start Posted by: L - No nic, another fine day at July 10, 2026 10:37 AM (NFX2v) 163

Because
The New York State Department of Health issued a historic $544,000 civil penalty against a nurse practitioner for running a massive, $1.5 million fake vaccine card scheme. She operated Wild Child Pediatric Healthcare in Amityville, charged between $85 and $350 per fraudulent dose and deliberately entered false vaccination data into the New York State Immunization Information System. State officials found she falsified immunization records for children. In some instances, she handed out homeopathic pellets to parents while falsely logging them as official vaccines for deadly diseases like polio and the measles. She laundered the proceeds through multiple financial transactions—even using the illicit profits to pay off her home. Reportedly.

I'm something of a history buff so have read numerous articles on Little Big Horn and specifically those focused Custer himself, his character and temperament. He was possessed with the same hubris that killed Fetterman and his men. Custer had to know, based on his scouts' reports and other evidence, that he was facing a large and formidable force consisting of arguably the best mounted warriors in the world.
What Custer didn't know was that many of those warriors were equipped with then-modern rifles at least equal to his troopers' carbines. Would Custer have engaged had he known? Almost certainly, and that over-confidence is ultimately what killed him, just as it did Fetterman. Posted by: troyriser at July 10, 2026 10:50 AM (v1M8F) 191

But it wouldn't have prevented Grant from taking Vicksburg and cutting the Confederacy in half. Lee may have prolonged the war but despite some daydreams, it wouldn't have won the war for the South.

Was it the possible concussion from the near miss, or did he lose his nerve before that? Posted by: Biff Pocoroba at July 10, 2026 10:50 AM (XvL8K) I think he was already getting jittery because his cavalry had vanished and he feared Lee getting reenforced, but the concussion occurred at a singularly bad moment and it was all downhill from there.

190 I'm something of a history buff so have read numerous articles on Little Big Horn and specifically those focused Custer himself, his character and temperament. He was possessed with the same hubris that killed Fetterman and his men. Custer had to know, based on his scouts' reports and other evidence, that he was facing a large and formidable force consisting of arguably the best mounted warriors in the world.
What Custer didn't know was that many of those warriors were equipped with then-modern rifles at least equal to his troopers' carbines. Would Custer have engaged had he known? Almost certainly, and that over-confidence is ultimately what killed him, just as it did Fetterman. Posted by: troyriser at July 10, 2026 10:50 AM (v1M8F) Speed and audacity had carried Custer far, it would be out of character for him to change. Sometimes too much success can be lethal.

Posted by: Bulg at July 10, 2026 10:30 AM (77rzZ I'd suggest that if Jackson was still with the army, there wouldn't have been a fight at Gettysburg at all. Between him and Longstreet, they would have been able to convince Lee to withdraw to defensible ground between Meade and Washington, and force Meade to attack them. Meade would have broken his army and Washington would be open for the taking.

Posted by: weft cut-loop at July 10, 2026 10:52 AM (diia5) According to Sitting Bull's account years later, the battle ended quickly--or at least that part of it under Custer's direct command. 'In the time it took to light a pipe,' per Sitting Bull. Scholars estimate it lasted approximately 15-20 minutes. Could a horse-drawn Gatling gun crew under those conditions--without cover--set up and lay down enough fire to suppress/defeat a mounted force of approximately 2000 men? Doubtful.

I understand that an artist was commissioned to try to get into Custer's mind and paint the battle from his perspective. When unveiled the canvas was full of Indians having intercourse as far as the eye could see across the hills and valley. When questioned the artist stated that, from what he could determine, Custer's primary thought during the battle was, "Look at all those f***g Indians."

Good morning kids. With the Iranian conflict still unresolved and the alleged ceasefire all but vaporized along with a few more ships in the Strait of Hormuz and ground targets in Iran itself, the Mullahs nevertheless remain in power, and as such a threat not just to the stability and peace of the region but an existential threat to civilization itself. . . .the Twelvers want Apocalypse Now, and if they must nuke Jerusalem or Paris, so be it. That’s their ticket to Paradise.Whether President Trump understands this he for sure understood the madness of ignoring and worse the Obama/Biden aiding and abetting of allowing Iran to obtain a nuclear weapons arsenal, the pornographic fiction and propaganda of the JCPOA notwithstanding, and so we along with Israel at least for the time being have put a halt if not an end to that. With that in mind, this story from last week makes zero sense: Reuters reported that the Trump administration has already notified Congress of its intention to approve the sale of US engines worth €613 million for KAAN, Turkey’s fifth-generation fighter aircraft, which is currently under development.First of all, while Turkey and Erdogan are Sunni and not Shiite, the salient point here is that they are first and foremost Muslim. Regardless of the internecine and eternal struggle between those two factions, the ultimate goal of both is for Islam to conquer the world. Erdogan and his cohorts have completely eviscerated a century of progress and westernization brought about by Kemal Ataturk in service of that goal. Erdogan is content, much like Blofeld wringing his hands at the Soviets and Americans duking it out like Siamese fighting fish so that he can ultimately come out on top as the de facto leader of the entire Islamic world and ultimately usher in the age of Islam ruling the world as his legacy. That Turkey is still in NATO is the height of insanity. Unless and until Erdogan and his party are removed from power they will be an existential threat to the security of the region perhaps as serious as Iran. And while they'll hold onto those F-35s the risk of him selling one off to the Red Chinese cannot be discounted. And yet for the President to go forward with this deal is madness. He's either clueless or being ill-advised. I would hope folks like Hegseth and Rubio have his ear and are not the ones encouraging this. As for Rubio, on the plus side, there's this: . . . Secretary of State Marco Rubio has invited the foreign ministers and other senior officials from over 60 countries to Washington, D.C. next week for a summit. The goal? To combat the "resurgence of transnational far-left terrorism," according to Washington Post reporters who say they saw documents related to the matter. ..The aforementioned potential F-35 madness notwithstanding, Marco Rubio is a champ, and I think he may very well become President in the coming years if not in 2028 then perhaps 2032. That is if we can outlast and defeat the Leftist menace here at home. A recent Cato poll shows that more members of Gen Z, those born between 1997 and 2012, have a positive view of Communism than those who have a negative view with around a third splitting each way. Some of this can be attributed to social media propaganda, the educational system and popular culture and helps explain the young activists flocking to the DSA. 43% of ‘students’ rate Communism favorably and only 29% rate it unfavorably making it clear that the higher educational system isn’t just broken, it’s actively recruiting the next generation into extremism, domestic terrorism and totalitarian ideologies of the most terrible kind. This tracks with other polls showing campus support for violence and suppression of free speech.This is not good, my friends. Less than half of Americans think capitalism is working as patriotism, support for democracy tanks . . They’re seeing red.So, forget combatting Leftists abroad — the question is, how do we combat Leftism at home if as I fear we cannot rely on the institutions that are supposed to safeguard our liberties have been utterly corrupted, weaponized and turned against us. It's going to get very ugly, I fear. Have a great weekend.

I think part of the "Deal" issue with Iran is that the Democrats were pounding the desks, calling it an "Illegal War", demanding Trump end it, and raising the spectre of the War Powers act. So, 60 days to fight Iran, before the Democrats would gum up the works. Lawsuits, impeachment, etc. So the deal was the exit strategy.
But the Iranians, like the commies, aren't good partners. They'll take what you offer, smile, then stab you the back because they got what they wanted. Not sure if the new attacks reset the two-month clock. We had peace, and then they started up the war again.

> 43% of ‘students’ rate Communism favorably.
This is Mimetic Theory in action. Those polled don't know what either Communism or "Capitalism" is so the favor of one or the other is not based on any rational or even irrational conclusion — its purely a function of being told to desire Communism and to hate/fear Capitalism. Look at the framing of how each of these propositions are portrayed. Communism rebels against the Old Order and images are of young, dynamic, out-spoken and upwardly mobile practitioners — "Capitalism" is portrayed as unaffordability, low energy, pollution and hopelessness. It doesn't matter what the facts are. History has no influence. The population of the US is increasingly amoral and low trust so spiritual influence is towards the dark. Trump's America 250 is what we need more of. It turns the tables. Posted by: Community Notes at July 10, 2026 07:59 AM (pawvM) 47

Gen Z are the cadre of folks indoctrinated by Commie teachers and never catechized into Religion.
-- And here we've been told for the last few years that Gen Z'ers are much more conservative than those dreaded Millennials (present company excluded). So which is it? I have no doubt these 43% dummies view it favorably despite their "more conservative" label. They've never been taught what it is from proven, historical fact after proven historical fact. They're know-nothings, but it's not their fault. They've been brainwashed, as we all know, into thinking it's the answer to their lives...without ever knowing the first thing about it. The blame is fully and totally on the shoulders of the communists in academia. From K-12 through higher education. It's a sad reality, but unless our education system is pulled out by the roots, and sprayed with Round-Up, this poison will not go away. Posted by: Lady in Black at July 10, 2026 08:06 AM (qBdHI) 66

Communism sucks.
The kids are sheep. Posted by: Sponge - F*ck Cancer at July 10, 2026 07:52 AM (2YhKe) They're being promised that communism will take everything from olds, who didn't earn it, and give it to them. It never occurs to them that the olds didn't have $1000 phones, 20 or more subscription services to pay for every month, $10 daily coffees, door dash, uber, etc. None of that matters, of course, olds were given a big pile of money when they turned 18 and they won't give it to their monster children (grandchildren) and so we must turn to communism, which will solve everything.

Depends on who is telling the story and when. When speaking of something as course grained as an age group as if it is something demographically homogeneous, its fluid, not static. People hopefully mature emotionally as they acquire new information and as hormones settle. So the 20 something Millennials are not the same as the 40 something Millennials since a lot of life-experience has taken place. Posted by: Community Notes at July 10, 2026 08:16 AM (U4c/V) 96

I am shocked that more and more "americans" are losing faith in the free market and looking to communism as something great and wonderful, especially among the young. I wonder where they get these silly ideas. No one in their right mind would want anything from the government. Everyone knows there is no such thing as a "free" lunch.

Good morning everyone. Posted by: banana Dream at July 10, 2026 08:04 AM (3uBP9) --- Yep. He's as dismissive of the science fiction genre as the critics he's railing against. Personally, I never understood the love for Heinlein. I think he's OK, but I don't put him in the top tier of all time. I do recognize the influence he has had on the genre, however, and can appreciate his impact that's created great stories over the decades.

How come no one remembers JD Vance's follies? When he called Trump hitler , before it was opportune to be pro-Trump? We can accept that he had a conversion, saw the light , but Rubio did not ? Vance was defending literal nazis, as a VP, waving away their misdeeds as childish follies, when in reality those characters were grown men. And his love affair with Cucker, way after it was obvious who Cucker is. He's was great during the election, debate with Walz etc. He is quick on his feet when he needs to be. But, that can be said of any of Trump's cabinet members - they are all superstars. Hegseth is a superstar, Bessent is a superstar, Rubio without saying is. Other too, who we don't get to see that often.

“Trump's mouth. When he says it's happening, then I'll believe it as truth.”
Believing that was one of the biggest mistakes I’ve made; over the last few weeks Trump has gone to great lengths to tell us the most ridiculously false things, only to say the exact opposite a few days later and then get people to say “well that’s diplomacy.” Ok, that’s diplomacy. It still means that nothing Trump says can or should be taken as automatically true. Are the media horrible liars? Yes. Is Trump any different? No, not really. When we say “look what Trump does, not what he says”, it means give no credence to most of what he says. Posted by: Tom Servo at July 10, 2026 08:32 AM (VbqNm) 156

And this makes the '92 election the critical point in history. Clinton, as someone that flirted with communism wasn't going to do something like this. And Pappy Bush probably won't have either.

Only one side of the argument turns it into "I'm sorry, Trump is not a 18D chess super intelligent God-adjacent mega master like you claim he is". All because someone pushes back on a criticism.

It's a good scheme.
For over 100 years, socialists have bitterly denounced capitalism, while infiltrating all our institutions, including big business, and slowly but surely making the country more and more socialist, and less and less capitalist. Unsurprisingly, at every turn, these incremental adjustments of everything toward socialism have made everything incrementally worse and worse. But, since some greatly diluted and mutated, socialized form of crony capitalism still exists, they can blame it for every single one of their unbroken chain of failures. It's similar to how places like California and Illinois and NY, etc. have many decades of uninterrupted Democrat rule aided by an irrelevant and fully controlled "Republican" "opposition" - but, since that Party still technically exists on paper in those States, the slow rolling disasters Democrats unleashed on them are 100% to blame on those phantom Republicans.

So this happened: A Top Mamdani Official Tried to Meet with Iran Commissioner Ana María Archila was scheduled to meet with Amir-Saeid Iravani, Iran’s permanent representative to the United Nations, at 2 United Nations Plaza, alongside two other senior officials in the Mayor’s Office for International Affairs on July 7 at 11 a.m . . . The meeting between Archila and Iravani was called off after the State Department—which was not informed ahead of time—met with the Mamdani administration to clarify acceptable conduct, according to the State Department official. City Journal learned that Commissioner Archila allegedly did not inform Mayor Mamdani of the meeting; she was reprimanded for the move and directed to cancel the meeting according to the source familiar with the office. Sure, sure, Mamdanai had NO IDEA that was happening. *WINK* Posted by: Lizzy at July 10, 2026 08:43 AM (X8xt3) 185

The people ranting about the Epstein class voted at a 72% clip for a guy they knew was a rapey Neo-NAZI in a Dem primary over a standard issue leftist Dem that never raped a woman or sent sexual texts to kids.

Posted by: I used to have a different nic at July 10, 2026 08:48 AM (ExV1e) It’s known as the Jerusalem Cross, or Crusaders Cross. When leftists were accusing Hegseth of having a “Nazi tattoo” he delighted in showing its use on a cloth covering Jimmy Carter’s coffin during his funeral. The claim demonstrates the mindless illiteracy of most of the left - they hate Christianity, so they call anything with a cross in it “Nazi”. But then they excuse the real Nazi symbols.

The "smart" play for Trump was to avoid dealing with Iran, when he has so much going on at home. But he took on the risk to defang Iran else it would remain an unprotected flank with huge exposure for us in the future. With nukes. We've let Iran fester for 50 years.

Posted by: I used to have a different nic at July 10, 2026 09:13 AM (ExV1e) In 16 I likened the DOPe to a bad boyfriend who badmouthed me to his friends, who all hated me, and only acted interested in my thoughts and feelings when trying to get my money. Along comes a brash outsider who is funny and bold and threatens to push DOPe's face in if he doesn't start treating me right. Of *course* I was interested in seeing that play out and just a little willing to go home with the new guy if he did what he said. Posted by: Polliwog the 'Ette at July 10, 2026 09:19 AM (lFFaq) 286

We vote as individuals, but our votes only matter as part of a larger group.
What I've noticed since 2016 is an increasing divide in voting patterns between White College and White Non-College, especially among women. White Non-College outnumbers White College by 2x. White Non-College is already over 70% and has little room to grow. White Non-College has been growing and is now over 50%.

Found the 2016 Trump University post:
His answers to questions about Trump University and the budget were somewhat uncomfortable to watch, in much the same way that it is uncomfortable to watch a bus full of circus clowns crash into a school for blind children and even worse the clowns were doing their "Gasoline Comedy" act that day and now all the blind children are on fire and the clowns are trying to squirt water on them with their stupid lapel-flowers but the flowers are just squirting out more gas and the children are crying tears of fire out of their Unseeing Dead Eyes and holy shit a couple of the clowns look like they have boners and they're chasing around the fiery blind children trying to rub up on them with these bobbling clown-boners with big red bulbs on their tips. In other words, as Trump would say: Not the best. Really not terrific. A real mess! Grade: I don't even know how to even start grading this. As far as a letter grade, I give a red X carved crudely through the face of a rotting pig with a bunch of stripper-glitter tossed on it. Posted by: Biff Pocoroba at July 10, 2026 09:27 AM (XvL8K) 314

Turkey is recognized as an elite "drone superpower." It exports critical combat hardware and modern warships to European allies and the Middle East. Ankara also controls the Turkish Straits. As above, Turkey and Erdogan are Sunni. Ukraine is one of the world's leading innovators in drone and asymmetric warfare, allowing them to rapidly deploy, upgrade, and manufacture hundreds of thousands of unmanned systems. It operates Delta, conceived by tech volunteers in 2014, a highly sophisticated, centralized digital platform that networks all sensors and drones, outpacing even many Western military command systems. The US has agreed to grant Ukraine a production license and show them how to manufacture American-made Patriot missile interceptors domestically. PDT announced the political agreement alongside Ukrainian President Zelenskyy at the NATO summit Turkey. Turkey supports Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity while avoiding overtly alienating Russia. As a NATO member, Ankara provides Ukraine with critical military hardware—including drones and technology—but has refused to join Western economic sanctions against Posted by: L - No nic, another fine day at July 10, 2026 09:48 AM (NFX2v) 323
Russia. This dual approach allows Turkey to act as an active mediator in the conflict.
Sunni Islam is also the dominant branch of Islam in Ukraine. Their largest and most prominent group: Crimean Tatars, a significant number of which fled to mainland Ukraine and/or formed guerrilla resistance movements like Atesh. Additionally, Sunni Muslims from the North Caucasus, including Chechen fighters opposed to the Russian-backed Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov, have formed independent battalions (such as the Sheikh Mansur Battalion) to fight alongside Ukrainian forces. (And there are Volga Tatars, Turks, and individuals from Central Asia, the North Caucasus, Azerbaijan, and Arab countries, who have embraced Islam and become part of the Ukrainian population, as well as those who have converted to Islam. Their true numbers are unknown.) Russia is home to the LARGEST Muslim population in Europe, estimated 1/5 of the population by about 2020. The majority are Sunni. Reportedly, most Muslims in the country live in the Moscow region and other major metropolitan areas such as St Petersburg and Yekaterinburg.

How did this begin & where's it going? Oh yeah: Reuters reported that Trump administration has also already notified Congress of its intention to approve the sale of US engines worth €613 million for KAAN, Turkey’s fifth-generation fighter aircraft, which is currently under development.
O & Joe did a bang up job inserting the US into a regional war, with significant Islamic overtones, and making it an even broader Western problem. It's not going to go away.

The solution to that problem is to halt foreign migration at the same time as you encourage population growth to a 3.0 fertility rate, and family growth among the already culturally assimilated population. These will probably come from the population subset that already favors stable family. Subsidize them and provide oversight and guidance to ensure the offspring are performing at school and society in a manner constructive to the social (patriotic) objectives of the project. It would create aggregate demand in many commercial segments and create,a boom in manufacturing. Eventually, a good number would volunteer for service and substantially improve our armed forces and law enforcement. It would render the US immune to pro-immigration entreaties by the "Masters of The Universe" class and "managed decline".

I can tell you why the FBI switched from Suburbans to BMW's. Look at all the consumer lawsuits and complaints over GM trucks involving fuel and transmission systems. Current GM leadership lacks a passion for vehicles. They are a gaggle of be an counters and DEI fans, starting at the top. Look at who the product manager is for the suburbsn has been:
Jaclyn McQuaid: She served as the Executive Chief Engineer for Full-Size Trucks, making her the first woman to hold this position. In this capacity, she was the top product leader responsible for the development and execution of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra families (which share platforms with the Suburban and Tahoe). Tenure: McQuaid has been with GM since 2000 (fitting the "last two decades" criteria). She spent over six years in global leadership for full-size trucks before being promoted to Vice President of Global Product Programs in April 2026, where she now oversees all vehicle programs. If you reward incompetence, you get more of it. Honorable mentions in relation to these vehicles include: Kathy Gillespie: Served as Chief Engineer specifically for the Silverado EV starting in 2023.

Fen, congrats on the new kitten, Millard! Depending on his age, he might well miss his siblings and mother. Stirling's mother had died a while before I adopted him, I was told, and he must have been human-raised, as he has always been attached to people. During his first summer with me he insisted on springing into bed with me every morning and milk-treading my arm (tiny claws -- ouch!). He still does that every day or so at age four. So Millard may be very attached to you and your son. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at July 10, 2026 05:31 AM (wzUl9) 26

Anyway! Temps are down a fraction here, but I'm not going out in it now. Miss Linda and I will go to the nearby mall at ten to walk vigorously before the stores open.
Before that I have another video tour, of a house I looked at in May but am reconsidering now. I've never gone "That's perfect!" the way I did with the one I put the offer on, and so I'm not very sanguine, but who knows. I'd love to be there and walk through these places myself, but I really can't yet. I tried that in Kansas and ended up spending money and putting wear and tear on me and my car. Yes, moving to an apartment in my prospective area is an option, though a poor one. The dough I'd spend on deposits, pet deposits, pet rent, rent, and moving or storing my furniture would be better put on the house itself. But I may have to.

A group of students from Italy’s University of Pisa not only managed to reach that distance on a single glide—they did so with the Guinness World Record holder for the largest paper airplane ever assembled. Built using only paper and some glue, the team’s nearly 23-foot-long creation and its over 65-foot wingspan cruised through a warehouse at Italy’s annual We Make Future expo on June 25. According to the university’s announcement, the students broke a record previously held since 2013 by Germany’s Braunschweig Institute of Technology.Video segment at the link.

These bushy-tailed critters are as adorable as they are wily, with their scavenging ways and problem-solving skills.

Evening, all,
Yes, I've noticed my local Walmarts slowly closing down the self-checkout stations. They usually don't have more than two regular checkouts open. Maybe they'd go to three or four during really busy times. But they usually have at least one open soon after opening now. Anybody with two brain cells could have told them what would happen with a high-crime-oriented population like we have here. But nooooo, they had to try it.

Just finished watching a 1950 noir called Border Incident, with Ricardo Montalban as a Mexican cop who goes undercover to find out who is transporting illegal workers across the border. The film -- B & W, very atmospheric -- is at pains to state that most of the crossers are legal workers, and that the American farmers pay them legal wages. But some are willing to pay to get smuggled across, and then they have no recourse whatever.
Somehow I doubt the notion that the majority of the border crossers did it legally even in 1950. But it is an exciting film from early in Montalban's career, before that back injury that gave him such trouble later, and directed with style by Anthony Mann.

Our first, Alvin, lasted two years ... until one of my brothers friends fed him a sugar cube, and he shit himself to death. Later in life, we rescued 3 orphaned babies after a storm knocked over a tree they were living in. Our cat had just had kittens, so my mom put the squirrels in with the kittens, and the mother cat took them in an raised them. Damn things grew up faster than the kittens and they were climbing everywhere in the house ... pretty funny actually. Posted by: browndog says woof at July 09, 2026 10:37 PM (3sXRv) 87

Roy is stranded in the West Texas desert in a pool of quicksand by the villain, the Ghost. He writes a message on paper with a lead-nosed bullet, and sends Trigger off with a "Go home!", hoping the horse will go where he last was stabled. His hosts read the message and get to him just in time. It's a good little story, with a narrative drive you wouldn't believe and a thunderbolt revelation held to the end. It started my true interest in the mystery genre. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at July 09, 2026 10:44 PM (wzUl9) 103

Nurse, I'd have done that a year ago, if I hadn't had health issues. Now I think I'm getting low on time. However! If I haven't found a place I love by fall, I may well do just that.

A couple of years ago I hear a squirrel distress signal so I looked outside and saw the cutest juvenile squirrel partly in a tree nook crying.
I look around and didn't see any predators but I was guessing he'd seen a hawk. I watching him for a while and he calmed down, got out and ran out into the woods. I'd guess the hawk didn't want to fly down with a human around...guess I ruined his lunch. Posted by: 18-1 at July 09, 2026 10:58 PM (sKqQm) 133

Jack White and Isaac Brock both turned 51 today. The former is more than a rock musician; he is a music business phenomenon. As a band member, Jack White has been guitarist, singer, songwriter, keyboardist, and producer with The White Stripes, The Raconteurs, The Dead Weather, and his solo act. He is also a music publisher and businessman with Third Man Records, as well as providing guitar gear, effects pedals, books, film studio and dark room services, and so on, through various other forms of Third Man.
Here is a fun 2006 music video of a cutthroat soapbox race, guest starring Paul Ruebens (Pee-wee Herman): The Raconteurs – Steady, As She Goes (Official Music Video - Malloy Version) https://youtu.be/Z_B_QRdX6kY Isaac Brock is the lead vocalist, songwriter, and guitarist of indie rock band Modest Mouse.

Slight disagreement. I love everything about the area I live in but whoever designed my house did it for me. Not for everyone but perfect for me. But I absolutely agree you should do whatever you can to make sure the area you are moving too is for you. That is most important. Then find the house.

100 Wolfus,
Please go and spend six months renting in a town you are interested in and explore the neighborhoods and research the police blotters. It would be worth it not to buy a beautiful home a block away from a shitty neighborhood. Posted by: nurse ratched. at July 09, 2026 10:43 PM (yEz+x) This is excellent advice. I know having to move twice is a pain, but getting stuck in a shitty neighborhood is a bigger pain. It's also very useful to tag along with the inspector while having a potential purchase inspected. You can ask questions and get a lot more information than you do just from reading a report. The written report may say something like "The furnace is old", which might put you off from buying, but in-person with the inspector, he might say something like "Yeah, the furnace is kind of old, but it seems to be running fine, and I've seen this model a lot older in other houses, so you will probably get another five years before you need to replace it." Just my $0.02 worth, from having done just this a couple of times. Personally, I would never consider buying a house I had not walked through, and driven around the neighborhood.

Erika Kirk simply could not be allowed to become a positive figure of any kind - the awfulness that befell her through her husband's death gave her far too much true victimhood and potential power. So certain other real powers decided to make her "controversial" - in practically the only way possible - by using pieces that were already in place, and possibly her own real imperfections - to do it. It's sickening when you can see what's happening. Truly sickening. And maddening. They didn't even have to sacrifice any known important leftists or Democrats to do this to this *woman*.
Meaning these powers gave up absolutely nothing tangible and they get to seemingly just will certain things into existence. "Controversy" where a tragic widow stands. Bastards. Posted by: ... at July 09, 2026 11:24 PM (vE0+H) 166

Ok, I will then. It was at the Eastern MO Correctional Center in Bonne Terre, MO. I think it was around 2002. I attended only because the victim's mother asked me to go with her. She and I had become close friends. The guest of honor was under two different death sentences for 2 different murders. He had raped and murdered a 7-yr-old girl & left her body in a trash dumpster. Then he raped and murdered a severely handicapped teenage girl. She had lived in a building where he was the custodian. The festivities had been scheduled for 10pm. About ten, the warden came into the room where the witnesses were sand told us a federal judge had stayed the execution. He asked us to wait if we could, in case the stay was lifted. At 2AM, he came back in & tols us the stay HAD been lifted and that the execution would proceed almost immediately.

execution Part II (post 167 continued):
The execution was by lethal injection. The witnesses were seated on folding metal chairs, in the prison gym. The first thing we saw was a small "stage," with the. curtain drawn, so we couldn't see the man. After a very short time, the curtain was opened & there was the condemned man, already hooked up to the intravenous injection equipment. He was VERY heavily strapped down The warden nodded to someone we couldn't see, and the execution began. The man was NOT asked for last words. That had been done earlier in the evening, and he had said he had nothing to say. He coughed a couple of times and then began to snore. After maybe 7 minutes, the warden told us the execution had been completed and that the man was dead. (post 167 concludes below) Posted by: mnw at July 09, 2026 11:39 PM (RCjYY) 177

(post 167 concludes):
The execution had been very "antiseptic," for lack of a better word. I was impressed by the warden's gravity & professionalism. As I was driving home, I turned on KMOX AM radio in STL A newsreader informed me that: "A federal judge tonight stayed the execution of inmate V_____ B____ indefinitely. B____ had been scheduled to die earlier tonight at the Eastern Missouri Correctional Center in Bonne Terre, Missouri." It was a surreal moment. Who was it I just saw put to death then? The murder victim's mother and I are still close friends and exchange Christmas cards. After the murder trial, she. had sent a wonderful letter to my boss. I called her to thank her. She was a little embarrassed. She said, "You don't have to thank me. If you hadn't done a good job, I would have sent the other kind of letter." I forgot to mention that at the time of the execution, the defendant was still wanted for a third murder he'd committed in Indianapolis. Posted by: mnw at July 09, 2026 11:54 PM (RCjYY) 192

Posted by: mnw at July 09, 2026 11:03 PM (RCjYY) Dad was a reporter for the Salem Capitol Journal who witnessed the last gas chamber execution in the state of Oregon. He also got a tour of the "fatal chamber" and an explanation of the mechanics the day before, in a tour provided by the Warden of the state pen. While the guide had his back turned Dad had his photographer take a picture of him seated on the execution chair -- as one does. Mom wouldn't let him hang it anywhere in the house, so he hung it on the door of the fruit room in the back shed. Posted by: Kindltot at July 09, 2026 11:59 PM (rbvCR) 199

I grilled ribeye and corn on the cob last night. Rare steak, because that's how I like it, and because it would turn medium/medium rare when I reheated the other half for hubby's lunch today. I cut the kernels off of one cob, to take to hubby also & cut the steak into little bits for him.
He *loved* it! Yay! It was nice and tender too.. he didn't have any problems chewing/swallowing it. Score! Posted by: JQ at July 10, 2026 12:03 AM (rdVOm) 202

Hey JQ,
if you are still looking for references on Starlink, I can provide one. I have been using it out in the boonies of Wyoming for almost a year. It has been great. faster than I expected and very stable. We lost connectivity briefly during a raging thunderstorm but otherwise rock solid. The local tower based service cannot compete. They are nearly the same price. Posted by: Pete Bog's agentic AI alter ego at July 10, 2026 12:12 AM (dmdAi) 208
The US Climate Prediction Center has warned that the weather phenomenon El Niño, which only recently emerged across the Pacific, could become the most powerful in more than 75 years.
This raises the risk of adverse weather conditions across the US, Asia, Australia, and South America. The stronger the weather event becomes, the greater the threat to critical food supply chains, which are already vulnerable to drought, flooding, export restrictions, and rising protectionism. --- We're all gonna' die.........

4h To understand the complexities of climate, we should stop gazing up at the sky, but look down into the oceanic abyss. Modern surface temperatures are an echo from the past. The Earth is an ocean planet, driven by a pulsating 1,000-year conveyor belt known as Thermohaline Circulation. We are witnessing a planetary memory in the oceans operating on a scale humans struggle to imagine — where deep currents are only now responding to thermal signals set in motion during the Roman Warm Period (250 BC–400 AD).

It’s hard to imagine the scene at executions not just in the 19th century but back through history. There would be huge crowds of everybody crowding to watch, whooping and hollering. Anf in Olde England, often they’d hang 3 or 4 malefactors at a time. They’d drive them up to the gallows in a cart, throw a rope around their necks, and then whack the mule and pull the cart out from under them, leaving them dangling and kicking while the crowed jeered and laughed.

The top 3.5 meters of the oceans hold the same heat capacity as the entire global atmosphere. The 3,700 meters below, is the Earth’s thermal vault of all retained heat energy. Oceanic inertia - or momentum - smooths out atmospheric hot and cold spikes.
The oceans absorb and retain 90% of the system's excess heat while the atmosphere is simply a gaseous envelope, thin and reactive, largely a passenger on the back of the massive oceanic flywheel. The oceans rule from their silent depths. --- That's it, we live in a thin gaseous envelop that at any moment pftt Posted by: Braenyard - some Absent Friends are more equal than others _ at July 10, 2026 12:17 AM (+yTe/) 215

Fruit room?
Posted by: Bertram Cabot, Jr. at July 10, 2026 12:04 AM (Cqx++) Interesting story that. We were the only house that had a food storage area called the Fruit Room. I never knew why it was called that instead of a pantry. Fruit room is an old term for the pantry. My Great Grandparents were from Scotland, so I figured that was where it came from, but my step sister pointed out that my step-mom (Mom) always called it a fruit room, even in the house they had before she married my Dad, and as far as we can tell it was from HER father in law, who was her first husband's step-father, who was a farmer from England who started a milk herd in Oregon.

Hung a sharpening jib on the mower blades today, and did a recut on the south ditch that I mowed yesterday. Vast improvement. Still a few patches of that Prairie Wool that needed repeat passes, but overall it looks just fine. Did a big area of the south side yard, too, until the mosquitos drove me inside.
Went back to the engine I am working on, cleaned a few parts, used a drill bit to scoop crud out of oil passages. There really wasn't much at all; nowhere near enough to be the cause of all the bearings being starved of oil. Thinking it might have been an air leak on the suction side of the oil pump.

Regular checkout in line at Walmart, Buddy and I are trash talking, I hand cashier a 20, she gives me change for a 10. Contested. The manager is called, situation explained, mgr departs and comes back in less than a minute.
She produces a high resolution image of me handing the cashier a 20. Procedure is to place the bill on the lip of the drawer until change is made. Posted by: Braenyard - some Absent Friends are more equal than others _ at July 10, 2026 01:29 AM (+yTe/) 283

I hated two points. One, that they were getting my labor for free; I wasn't getting a discount on my purchases for doing their work. Second, that damn screen right in my face, rubbing it in that I'm under surveillance. Once I put a plastic bag over the screen, and you'd have thought I'd damaged the machine in some way. They converged shouting on me as though they'd caught me shoplifting. After that I refused to use the self-checkouts, and still do.
Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at July 09, 2026 10:33 PM (wzUl9) Don’t care. If I am grabbing three-four items, I’m getting them faster. I’m tired of waiting in front of people who insist on writing paper checks for items. (But others are free not to use them.) That said, what pissed me off is when various Walmarts went to self checkout ONLY. We need choices.

NSW District Court Judge Michael McHugh has ruled that the viral video showing former Bankstown Hospital nurses Sarah Abu Lebdeh, 27, and Ahmad Rashad Nadir, 28, telling Israeli influencer Max Veifer that they would refuse to treat Israeli patients, send them to "Jahannam" (hell), and "kill" them, cannot be used as evidence at trial because it was recorded without the participants' consent.

The Walmart's in my small city have a dedicated place for cosmetics and often stolen toiletries. There everything is locked up with TV monitors showing that you are constant under surveillance. Plus there is a clerk that follows customer in the section around to keep them off balance.
Regular shampoo is still free range provided you can find anything worth buying. The Walmart house brand is always in stock provided you like travel sizes. Count me as: not a Walmart Fan. Posted by: Alteria Pilgram - My president has convictions at July 10, 2026 02:09 AM (/eAef) 313

Walmart is not a manufacturer, they buy from the companies that do make the products. The greedy ones here are the manufacturers.

With black spots on his belly. We picked him up from a place in our community that said free kittens. i will have to take him to the vet because he's wheezing. Anyway, he is adorable but I slept downstairs on the living room couch with him last night, and didn't get a lot of sleep. He is very affectionate and must miss his mom and siblings. I had gone up to bed last night and FenSpouse came up and said , You want me to go downstairs and sleep on the couch to keep Millard company?

Bear wants an easy meal. Not a meal trying to stab him in the face with a giant pointy beak.
Posted by: mikeski at July 09, 2026 07:47 PM (VHUov) This past week a black bear helped himself to lunch at the PX on JBER. It happens. Automatic doors don't do much to protect from wildlife.

A heartwarming moment between a rescued elephant and his caregiver
I dunno, that elephant was getting very Platner-y with the caregiver. I didm't see much consent going on. Posted by: zombie at July 09, 2026 07:53 PM (Av6i5) 44
Apparently they're all Nazis in Maine. Current SOS Shenna Bellows says she'd be good replacement for Platner but . . .
Shenna, Because of your past role at the holocaust and human rights center, some have extrapolated that to assume you would have policy that is too sympathetic to Israel in general. It is obviously perfectly fine to think that the holocaust was atrocious, that Israel has a right to self-defence AND that the current situation in Gaza is a horrific genocide that far exceeds any claim to self defence. But in a short campaign, given your background, what will not be ok is ambiguity on policy around these issues. Can your team formally put on the record your stance on the following questions: 1) Do you support the outright ban of offensive weapons to Israel? 2) Do you support the withholding of all defensive systems to Israel until there is a full and complete withdrawal from Gaza? 3) Do you support a two-state solution? 4) Do you support a US investigation into war crimes in Gaza? 5) Do you support the US becoming party to the ICC? - 6) Do you know all the lyrics to the Horst Wessel Lied?

A relative of mine works in "special education" at a Northern California school district. Her classes are 90% children of (illegal) immigrants -- but almost no black kids. Why not? According to her, "it is illegal to give an IQ test to a black student in California" (due to a CA court case several years back from a black mother who claimed IQ tests were racist -- she won). As a result, it is not possible to measure or know any black student's IQ. And since they are usually giving automatic-A inflated grades in most regular classes, the black kids simply don't quality for Special Ed, which require either a low IQ or a low grade point average in her district. Hence, no black kids in her classes. Posted by: zombie at July 09, 2026 08:07 PM (Av6i5) 82

FWIW, for those interested. I can vouch for Simply Safe as a quick and easy install as I have done four installs over the years and all of them relatively trouble free (not so much for the name brand safety company ADT which came with the house we bought way back--and it was all wired!).
Eufy camera systems are likewise a fast, cheap, and easy install and your data stays on your own cameras or camera controller and can be accessed along with alerts on the web if you wish via a smartphone. Encrypted end to end. Simply safe starter can be bought direct and allows self monitoring or you can use their service. Eufy has some add ons like cloud storage or monitoring but with both, no need for the second--text alerts and viewing over smart phones is enough. You can get either at Amazon. Done several of those as well as well as Swann wired systems over the years. Posted by: whig at July 09, 2026 09:20 PM (E4rtv) 193

Empire of the Summer Moon is a very good book about the Comanche and Quana Parker. The Comanche method of taming a horse was brutal, but effective.

The Comanche were a branch of the Shoshoni, and became far more prosperous than the Shoshoni because they moved south and found the buffalo and the horses.

Posted by: Guy Mohawk at July 09, 2026 10:22 PM (n5tGW) Quick HitsTaco Bell removes ingredients from its menu because of "explosive diarrhea" concerns. Write your own joke here.Taco Bell restaurants are pulling fresh ingredients from the menu as a fast-growing parasite outbreak linked to explosive diarrhea spreads across multiple states. Locations, including some in Metro Detroit, have posted signs telling customers they are temporarily unable to serve several produce items while health officials respond to a spike in cyclosporiasis cases, WWJ reported on Tuesday. "We are currently unable to sell Lettuce, Cilantro Onion, Pico de Gallo and Guacamole due to a nationwide recall," the notices say. "We apologize for the inconvenience. Any items ordered that normally come with these items WILL NOT contain them." The missing ingredients are staples in several Taco Bell favorites, including tacos, the Crunchwrap Supreme and Cantina Chicken menu items. It is not clear whether any Taco Bell customers have been sickened by the parasite, according to the report. The menu shake-up comes as health officials investigate a surge in cyclosporiasis, an intestinal illness caused by the Cyclospora parasite that has sickened nearly 2,000 people across the US. Can we stop pretending these people bring such Great Cultural Enrichment with them that it cancels out all the child rape, murder, and terrorism? Muslim pro-terrorism communist Democrat senate candidate "Doctor" Abdul El-Sayed was grilled about why he insists on being called a "doctor" and even a "physician" despite having no license to practice medicine. Katie Couric, a dried up old leftwing prune, demands that John Fetterman agree that lowering the White House flag to half-staff and flying his body on Air Force Two (I think) was "over the top" because liberals didn't like him. Fetterman doesn't agree.

INDIANAPOLIS — Cases of cyclosporiasis, a parasitic infection that causes "explosive" diarrhea and intestinal infection, have continued to rise this week. Marion County Health Public Department officials said Wednesday, July 8 that they had recently confirmed 15 cases, compared to four or fewer in previous years. Indianapolis resident Ebony Johnson said she tested positive for the infection. She believes it originated from contaminated lettuce from a fast food restaurant. "It didn't matter what I ate. It didn't matter what I drank, my stomach was just out of control," Johnson said. "I have never experienced diarrhea like that before. When they say it's explosive, it is very explosive to where you have to run to the restroom. If you don't make it in time, you're going to go on yourself. I went twice on myself. One time, it happened while I was asleep. You can't pass gas without thinking you're going to have an accident on yourself. It's that bad."

============== I can't wait until we get a penal colony built on the moon. Posted by: Blonde Morticia at July 09, 2026 06:42 PM (mmrXZ) One of the nice things about the current geopolitical climate is that the crappy system FDR planned for the postwar order is going to disappear. He decided to extract the universal rights of the Declaration of Independence and grant them to everyone with a pulse, and then make those 'rights' enforceable by an organization where Stalin got three votes and a veto. It was always absurd, but it has nothing backing it up anymore besides inertia. Some country (maybe Japan) will one day decide to deport people whose home countries don't want them to a desert island or out the back of a transport plane with no parachute, and libtards will screech a bit before realizing that Japan or whoever doesn't give a shit. And I will enjoy it immensely. Posted by: the lower depths at July 09, 2026 06:47 PM (Yh7zv) 47

Regarding El-Sayed there is confusion about what it means to "be a physician". Wikipedia says he got and M.D. from Columbia Physicians and Surgeons so he is a Medical Doctor, i.e., a physician. Similarly, Michael Crichton got his M.D. from Harvard, per Wikipedia; IIRC he never completed post-graduate training, that is internship and residency and thus could never practice medicine in a clinical setting, taking care of patients. In NY state, for example, the law requires you to have both an M.D. degree and completed acceptable training after that in order to call yourself a 'physician' legally, publicly and to practice medicine. (Look up NYS Medical License Requirements). So there are two answers to the question of "Is he a physician?" That he has the M.D. degree means he is a physician. But, since he hasn't - apparently - either completed requisite postgraduate training or if the did, did not apply for a License to Practice Medicine in any state he can neither advertise himself to the public as a physician nor, of course, open a medical practice taking care of patients. Another way to look at it by the term "Doctor" he is as much a "Doctor" as any Ph.D.

Rahm Emanuel, a potential Democratic presidential candidate and longtime defender of Israel, warned Wednesday that the country has become increasingly isolated as its leadership has turned it into a “territorial pariah,” in a speech at Tel Aviv University on Wednesday. “You cannot fight indefinitely against a world that has stopped believing you have the right to fight,” Emanuel told a packed auditorium of students and supporters in a speech hosted by the university’s Center for the Study of the United States. “You must instead find a new sustainable path to peace, security, and economic prosperity.” https://t.ly/cUoOI Posted by: Bertram Cabot, Jr. at July 09, 2026 07:12 PM (Cqx++) 175

Posted by: Oldcat And fwiw, not exactly murder either as he has already been adjudged guilty of crimes and because he did it for conquest and horror, he deserves to be treated as an international war criminal on par with Boko Haram. Basically the West is going to have to wade in a lot of blood domestically to rid itself of these assholes or be subjugated themselves. And that includes us. You can do it the legalistic way via courts, juries, and death penalties for crimes like rape, murder, and terrorism or you will end up having vigilantes do it like in Northern Ireland and the nature of such things is that your skin and language becomes your uniform. I prefer the first method of expulsion but the second is coming whether we like it or not if the elites and the Muzzies and Turd Worlders don't stop doing what they are doing and return home. Laws get shoved aside when necessity rules the game. And the elites are making it necessary by their refusal to yield and refusal to leave office in shame.

I’ve heard a lot of people say that they know that there is a God when they look up at the star-studded sky at night.
Point taken. The universe is impressive, and should make us all feel humble. However, I feel equally as humble contemplating the biological processes that take place within our own bodies, every second, every minute, 24/7 —Macro-processes that we are, at best, aware of but don’t pay much attention to until something goes wrong (e.g., breathing, digestion), plus all of the thousands of micro-processes that make the macro-processes possible, but that accomplish the results of the macro-processes, and of which we have almost no awareness at all. Even when our physical bodies fail to function as designed, thanks be to God for the wonder and miracle of the human body, as with all His creation.

This case really has me on a moral quandary. On one hand -- a Western woman was murdered by an illegal Muslim immigrant. Obviously, this is horrible, he i evil, the system is corrupt, etc. ON THE OTHER HAND -- have you seent he videos this woman has made??? It is beyond belief. She was the most horrible human being I have ever witnessed, with the wrst case of "jungle fever" Arab fetishism on record. She wished death in ICE supporters, said all whtie men were impotent compared t Muslim men, tried to learn Arabic so she could curse the USA in a superior language, and willingly made herself this murdering illegal alien's whore even though (by her wn admission) "I can't understand 95% f what he's saying." She was the most toxic grotesque parody of a leftist women I've seen in a long time. So part of me chortles inwardly about "karma" when I learn that OF COURSE her evil sexual perversion came back to bite her, fatally. I'm still haven't resolved my moral dilemma.

Want to neuter Iran, you invade the lowlands and islands and keep those. Leave the rest of it with the Persians.
The shores around the Persian Gulf is where most of the Arabs are in Iran as well as the oil fields and export facilities. Without those, the rest of the country might as well be Afghanistan or Pakistan in wealth. Posted by: whig at July 09, 2026 07:48 PM (E4rtv) 310

Posted by: Cow Demon at July 09, 2026 08:27 PM (4g5V+) Tyler Robinson Hearing: The Text Messages (Which Candace Owens Claimed Didn't Exist) In Which Robinson Confesses to Killing Charlie Kirk Are Shown In CourtBut don't worry -- Cavernous Nostrils has a back-up conspiracy theory. Sure, the texts exist -- but they're "fedslop" fakes. ![]() Candace OwensShe's just spamming out one new covering conspiracy theory after another. She says these must be fake, because the FBI wouldn't have just photographed the messages, they would have seized the phone. Well, they did seize the phone. They seized it and downloaded everything in its memory. Also, they couldn't present the phone in court unless they could show clear chain-of-custody, and the defense didn't object -- therefore, the phone has been in the possession of the authorities after being taken from Tyler Robinson. She also insists that Tyler Robinson can't be the killer seen on video because the guy on video is 6'2". She knows this height exactly, somehow. Just by eyeballing a video, where he's not standing next to any other person nor anything whose height is known. And she claims that Robinson himself is "just over 5'10." Except no, the police photo shows he's 6'0" or just a touch under. Seeing that this contradicts her claim, she crops the photo to remove the top of Robinson's head and make him appear shorter. ![]() ![]() ![]() Natalie Jean BeisnerBy the way, photos of the bullets reveal that they're hollow-points, intended to expand upon contact with a target. These bullets are designed to blow up into flat plates so that all of their energy goes into a target, and none comes out. That is, the bullet is designed to expend all of its kinetic energy in the target, and not exit the target. I say this because Cavernous Nostrils and her Legion of Tards have been claiming that it's impossible for a rifle bullet to not exit Charlie Kirk's neck (so we know a TPUSA official standing nearby him must have shot him with a pistol at the exact moment the rifle shooting decoy fired his rifle).

I think she was in "love" with Kirk -- not love, because a psychopath can't feel love, but she felt she deserved to land him, to grant her status.
He rejected her, because she's a lunatic and kind of ugly when you really look at her. He married Erika. In her demented, crazy, psychopath head, she figured that since Charlie spurned her, he OWED her TPUSA. In her own head she manufactured this obligation. Charlie didn't give her himself, so surely he'd want to make up for that sin by giving her TPUSA. And the last nine months have been her raging at Erika and torturing her to coerce her into giving up TPUSA and giving it to the woman Charlie really wanted to have it, Candace Owens.

I hit trees that were 18" thick dead center and had the bullet go right through. I shot a ton of shit with that caliber and it always amazed me the power it had. I would have bet everything I owned that if you hit somebody in the neck their head would be in frigging orbit. I had korean war vets over the years tell me they would take heads clean off with their M1.
That being said I definitely think this dude is guilty and absolutely did the deed. I'm just shocked that charlie's head isn't bouncing off satellites. I would have never thought that you can hit somebody in the neck with a 30.06 and not have an exit wound. Posted by: Berserker-Dragonheads Division at July 09, 2026 05:45 PM (S41Gd) 73

I think she was in "love" with Kirk -- not love, because a psychopath can't feel love, but she felt she deserved to land him, to grant her status.
He rejected her, because she's a lunatic and kind of ugly when you really look at her. He married Erika. In her demented, crazy, psychopath head, she figured that since Charlie spurned her, he OWED her TPUSA. In her own head she manufactured this obligation. Charlie didn't give her himself, so surely he'd want to make up for that sin by giving her TPUSA. And the last nine months have been her raging at Erika and torturing her to coerce her into giving up TPUSA and giving it to the woman Charlie really wanted to have it, Candace Owens.

Then, apply the 'Fuck if I know' factor that identical loads producing radically different wounds reveals. ======= Yep. Bullets can do some weird shit in bodies because of ballistics and hydrodynamics coupled with wound science. One good example is the 125 gr HP in 357 Magnum performed far beyond expectations for police compared with the original 158 gr scalloped HP. The 158 tended to go through while the 125 stopped inside the body and made a wide messy wound. And even in the world of fmj, you had the famous Mark VII bullet used by the Brits in their 303's that despite being a fmj, it had an aluminum tip so that the bullet upset and went into a ass over tea kettle when it hit skin. 55 gr FMJ or slightly lighter will do the same while a heavier bullet will tend to penetrate in 223.

At first thought, I was questioning the prosecutor's decision to put all his/her best evidence in at a prelim, when he/she only has to establish probable cause that the def committed the crime at the prelim.
But then I thought about it further & changed my mind. The prosecutor put in all his/her best evidence to win the media battle, I'm guessing. To make sure that potential trial jurors are already skeptical of the conspiracy theories before they even enter the courtroom. So I think it was probably wise to show all the state's cards early on.

Charge by information is used now by most states for charges rather than grand juries and that has only a judge making a ruling after the prosecution's presentation of evidence and any defense cross examination or submittal of evidence that the judge uses legally to establish whether probable cause exists for an indictment to be issued for trial.

This all distracts from the really important issue of the powerful brain-damaging drugs these people were on as related by their friends, such as DMT, LSD, mushrooms, MDMA, huge amounts of cannabis, massive alcohol and so on.
DMT, ayahuasca and these other hallucinogenic drugs have become somewhat popular among Lance's and Tyler's generation. Influential ex-military types are claiming it cures PTSD and so-called "micro-dosing" these drugs by finance bros and biohackers is also a thing. There was just an American fitness influencer with a big following by that generation whose brain had reportedly been damaged from DMT and ayahuasca who went nuts and died in Thailand.

Dear Cavernous Nostrils,
I saw the text msgs (not the phone) within 48hrs of Furry Robinson's arrest. Along with the information of a note under the trans roommate's keyboard. I am not an agent with special powers as it was posted in local news. The Furry Network postings of "something is going to happen." I saw it and followed it. I knew within hours the first arrest was a psych lunatic, well known with Utah LEO going back to the year of the Boston bombing and pretending to plant bombs at a local marathon. He is in prison now due to child porn found on his phone. There were no Jews, no French foreign legion, no coms with shooter and Kirk's security. None of the pipe dreams of yours, and by the way, what are you smoking? You, Candace, are the malignant narcissistic personality disorder of being rejected by Kirk both on the job and probably once he got involved with his wife and you trying to fling yourself on him. You were not invited to his wedding or funeral. You can pretend to be his friend and maybe he was polite to you after you were fired for going too far. Pathetic woman you are.

Isn't this a police photograph taken when they first interrogated Twiggs?

Here is a commentary of the evidence to consider:
Legal posture and limited public access to discovery Prosecutors chose to seek an indictment rather than begin with a criminal complaint; Utah County officials and reporting note that decision constrains immediate public access to the full discovery package and means defense counsel must file motions months later before certain materials are publicly revealed [5]. Courts have also moved to limit media exposure to certain images—such as pictures of restraints—citing fair-trial concerns [10] [8]. 6. What the sources say — and what they do not Available reporting consistently cites text messages, DNA on the rifle, physical evidence from the scene and apartment, and alleged post-shooting conduct as the main items prosecutors rely on [1] [2] [4] [3]. None of the provided sources publish the full forensic reports, the exact DNA match statistics, the raw text-message logs, or the complete indictment exhibit list; those materials are described but not reproduced in the articles cited [5] [7]. Therefore, the public summaries come from prosecutors’ statements and media summaries rather than direct publication of all underlying evidence [5] Posted by: SS at July 09, 2026 06:07 PM (52U6V) 156

I once shot a grazing antelope with a 7mm Mag, straight through the Lungs. Entry wound was between the ribs. Exit wound was big enough to pass a pepsi can through. She kept grazing for almost a minute, before she fell over. When I opened her up, the only thing in front of the Diaphragm was pudding.

Why would you fight to stay in an apartment with black mold? After that she became a BLM activist and anti-Gamegate doxxer.

Jeremy Boreing @JeremyDBoreing The demon is you, Candace, or is in you. The demon is Tyler Robinson, or was in him. The demon is not Charlie’s wife. The demon is not Charlie’s closest friends. The demon is not the organization Charlie bled to build and grow. The demon is not Israel, who has nothing to do with any of this, or the Federal Government who had nothing to do with this, or the Egyptians or the French or any of the other people and institutions you have slandered for money and fame. Your narcissism and sociopathy and self-interest and resentment and grief have all commingled into something truly sinister. What you have become and what you have done can only be answered in the blood of the very Christ Jesus you blaspheme for cheap points and clicks. You are playing games with your soul, Candace, and with people’s lives. It is a game you lose automatically just by playing. You sit on top of the world of fame, but you are falling into the pit of hell itself. You’re leading others there, too, and being cheered on by those already lost. God have mercy on your soul.

Dear Nostrils (cont)
I also found out, simply by READING (can you do this???) that there was a lesbo militant group in Utah. Who won grants to support their bs from various means. Including, I guess, the US government. "Armed Queers." The founder is the daughter of an Iranian immigrants: Ermiya Fanaeian Her website vanished after the shooting because she was questioned. Fancy that with a logo of “Revolution + Trans liberation in our lifetime!” She was on stage at one point, I guess collecting USA $ wampum, with Senator Grey Beaver Warren. A pow wow of sorts in the great teepee of Dim politics. I found all of this easily online from the news. I am not a secret agent or in the CIA or FBI or anything important. It was ALL right there had you bothered to take off your doom glasses and look. No conspiracy. No Jews. No French Foreign Legion were ever mentioned. No cover ups. RIGHT THERE within days after the shooting and the campus videos. His own parents turned him in, after seeing the videos of Buck Tooth going up the stairs of the building. He confessed to them and a friend who was a LEO before arrest. It was all there, Nostrils. All there. Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at July 09, 2026 06:14 PM (hzuYO) 176

Slightly OT, but maybe a few people have seen this "nonbinary" person who "studies far-right extremism" who fled to Canada with her "partner" so she can escape before the trans-Krystallnacht hits? She went a little bit viral thanks to conservative social media making fun of her. She says her big moment that told her she HAD to flee was... when Charlie Kirk was killed. And transgenders started getting blamed for "all this shit they didn't do." Charlie Kirk being murdered by a person of ambiguous sexuality was the moment she knew America was about to start the mass slaughter of people like her.

Eh, weird shit happens and there is someone walking around out there hit by a 50 BMG round and lived to tell the tale. The correct issue is energy transferrence and it gets complicated really fast. Plus you have the fact that liquid can resemble a solid at a certain velocity like when people jump off the Golden Gate Bridge, the water can act as a solid due to velocity of the body. And the same thing can happen with a bullet at the right trajectory--like skipping a bullet under a car by firing it at the right angle to the ground. Ballistics is for experts and determination of how ballistics performs when it hits a human body makes it a matter of medicine, physics (solid body hits a body mostly liquid with some bone), location of the entry wound, the angle it hits, the composition of the bullet, the powder charge and type, the age of the powder, the primer, the chamber of the rifle tight or loose, the throat of the rifle and condition of the rifling, etc. etc. etc. It is not the matter an idiot like Cavernous Nostrils can surmise from 'common sense'.

I accept the confession (he also confessed to the sheriff while in custody), but I do not accept the texts are a real conversation. Seems like the furry knew about the plan, but the gay lover killer wanted to be the furry's white knight and exculpate him.

What is the murder rate for transsexuals versus heterosexuals?
+++ There isn’t a reliable “murder rate for transsexuals vs heterosexuals” comparison, because homicide data for transgender people is incomplete and not collected in a consistent federal way. One study found transgender people overall likely have a homicide rate lower than cisgender people, but young Black and Latina trans women are at much higher risk. Posted by: I'm the internet.

Afternoon.
Ace said something the other day regarding this grifter, we shouldn't accept people to our side out of a sense of desperation. I agree with that 150%. I've said it before, I was suspicious of her because she said *everything I wanted to hear*. What I never said was "our side is desperate to include minorities because the pinko left keeps calling us fucking racists." I knew it then, but never said anything. That was...not good.

216 I suspect the age of the powder had something to do with it also, granpa's gun and bullets.
Posted by: Guy Mohawk Even the powder type makes a difference--ball, stick, mini stick,( flake or disc powders are usually shotgun powders or handgun), and they have a stabilizer component for acid that gets used up over time, faster if kept in hot and humidity, slower if kept cool, dark, and low humidity. If you tumble a stick powder to clean the corrosion off the case, you can actually change the burn rate of the powder because sticks can 'break' and the outside of the stick or ball powder has stabilizers and other chemicals that promote a universal burn rate for the powder.

Few if any people hunt with fmj because it is much more likely to go through or hit something and richochet to who knows where.
---- In most states... sorry, "in my experience in hunting in 7 states" ... FMJ is prohibited for big game hunting, because of the tendency to go straight through, resulting in a longer time to incapacitation.

However, either with a plea bargain or whatever, LEO/FBI got enough evidence from this squirrel to back up what they found already online. A LOT was online pretty dang fast. Including local friend furries. One who claimed this was the beginging of a "new paradigm." I don't have X but people were wildly screen posting stuff and I read it. I have a near photographic memory and remember stuff. Mostly trivia I don't need, but it's there and I only have to read it one time. The furries were all astir the day before the shooting. They communicated through their gaming crap. One guy even said that "something was going to happen on campus that day." Being Barney Fife I copied that msg and sent it to the FBI on a number in Provo, Utah and got a response. That guy got his furry butt questioned, I can promise you that. I am not often notify the FBI Karen, but I did a few days after Kirk was shot and someone posted it, seeing it reposted. Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at July 09, 2026 06:59 PM (hzuYO) 250

If I were Erica, I'd kill her myself Posted by: Melodicmetal at July 10, 2026 10:46 AM (61TgR) Tucker Carlson: Graham Platner Wasn't Booted Out Because He's a Nazi and a Rapist. He Was Pushed Out Because He Asked Questions The Jews Didn't Like.TCNEnjoy how he renders rape as "sex" and a Nazi SS Totenkopf tattoo as "tattoos." The establishment cared so much about getting him canceled because he opposed their economic and foreign policy programs that serve the powerful and shaft average Americans. Remember, Tucker Carlson is a "conservative"! If you criticize him, you're "splitting the party," "causing division," and "in-fighting"! I mean sure he's full-blown socialist (or communist now-- he is extremely authoritarian and seeks a return to feudalism), but he hates gays and that's all you need to be conservative! Except his Islamist friends also hate gays and I don't think that makes them conservatives. Hm, this is a puzzler. Why is he a "conservative" again? Consider this a formal invitation to Graham Platner to appear on Tuq'r Qarlson's popular Egyptian/Pakistani/Qatari podcast. Tuq'r's ally Donna Brazille says Platner needs "time to heal." ![]() Ed Morrissey writes that Tuq'r's allies in the leftwing communist media are oscillating between two narratives: 1, We did our jobs perfectly (no notes!), or 2, We were duped by a liar and had no way to know we were being conned. The Wall Street Journal is pushing the "duped" narrative. Again, they blame their Democrat sources (and friends, and wives, and mistresses) for "misleading" them. This is exactly the same narrative the media deployed when "Sharp as a Tack" Biden was found out. "We weren't in on it, we were fooled like everyone else!" Except no one else was fooled. Only the Wise Men Truth Tellers of the media. This entire article aims at Democrats for missing a parade of red flags in Platner's life while fraudulently promoting him as the "authentic voice of the working class." Democrats certainly deserve every bit of opprobrium possible for selling voters a whiny, entitled, upper-class mooch as a working-class stiff, just a couple of years after attempting to sell a senile old man as a Sharp As a Tack(TM) candidate who could totally handle another four years as president. Democrats are spending a lot of time growing candidates in vats, as long as they come out socialist blue once formed. However, the WSJ does not include one single word about how the media helped sell that fraud to voters in Maine and to the entire country. Their article never admits -- as Axios at least did -- that the media repeated the Katz-Moraff narrative "without scrutiny" for months. It never mentions the New York Times "tamp and tame" effort last month in which they manipulated three women, including Lyndsey Fifield and Jenny Racicot, in an attempt to muddy allegations to the point that Platner, Moraff, and Katz could claim that it was a partisan smear campaign. And of course, the article never mentions that Racicot finally came forward with the rape allegation specifically due to the NYT's manipulation of Fifield.

Anyone following his career in media would notice the different masks he would try on and then discard for something bigger or more well paid.

The 'journos were duped’ defense here is rich. --- Hmm. Did they televise anything about this supposed "story arc" they were given?

Tuck needs a psych exam, lock up, padded cell, straight jacket, major meds, the entire wazoo.
I am thankful I am not named Molly Jong-Fast who looks like Rosie O'Donnell. Rosie supposedly had a face lift but no one can tell. If you are going to cut on my face I'd better be able to tell, which is why no one will unless I am burned or go through a windshield (look at Nic Kidman's bat ears...ears get larger with each lift and she's pure plastic). I should say "look under one of her many wigs." I can't stand Kidman, or Rosie,but I figured that would be obvious. Things seem to be spiraling for the Dems, eh? Is it the Maine people who say eh like Canadians? I hope Platner has a malfunction and misses the deadline. Then what will they do?

The Dems knew Platner was a rapey neo-NAZI from the get go. They still voted for him at a 72% rate.
The reason he was pushed out is that as normies in Maine found out about him he started dropping in the polls AND the Republicans were preparing to "pounce" on the Dems running a rapey neo-NAZI Posted by: 18-1 at July 09, 2026 04:37 PM (sKqQm) 62

I've been wondering just what happened to Tuq'r, and oscillating between various theories. At this point, I'm leaning toward the psychological theory. Something broke in his brain. Posted by: publius I think you are seeing the real Tucker here. Anyone following his career in media would notice the different masks he would try on and then discard for something bigger or more well paid. Like most media types on air, he is an actor primarily and not particularly impressive intellectually. This goes way back to the Crossfire years. And I think he has always disliked Jews as a WASP elite by blood and upraising and is just now letting it show.

A thought from DU on the unintended lateral excursion that is Platner:
"Regardless of who the Democrats in Maine decide to run against Collins I hope they don’t get distracted by certain elements of the media trying to exploit differences and push divisions between various factions within the Democratic Party, but remember the goal is removing Susan Collins. Maine Democrats debate to decide who you want to be your senator, then come together and send Collins home." Posted by: Duncanthrax at July 09, 2026 04:50 PM (0sNs1) 127

My theory:
The Dems can gaslight each other over just about any moral malfeasance on Platner's part -- but they know there's one sin that the public will not forgive -- pedophilia. So after the earlier scandals broke, the socialist donors went to him and said, "OK, you've gotta come clean - -did you send dick-pics to underage girls on Kik?" "Ummmm....wellll...not sure...".

But I tend to forget that today's journalists are not just commie mouthpieces. They are also sinfully lazy. Posted by: PaleRider ===== Real journalists write their stories from campaign press releases. It takes real skill not to plagiarize them word for word and they learn that in J School. They would shriek and run from the inky stained wretches called reporters that could write well but were often non college graduates who were schooled from life. There is an old movie with Clark Gable and Doris Day, Teacher's Pet in 1958 that highlights the shift from reporters to 'journalists' and from working profession to college graduate. Course the movie tries to mix both of them unsuccessfully in my opinion as the winner. Posted by: whig at July 09, 2026 04:52 PM (E4rtv) 136

It grew back and I could part it on the other side to hide a skunk streak. Unless he wanted to transition, and pretty badly done I'd say; but avoided those pesky ingrown hairs and chronic cysts. This was a mistake you cannot recover from. Unless 3D printers can now help.

You know, you hear things about the deplorable, slave-like living conditions of the foreign workers that Arab countries bring in to do the labor that Arabs themselves think they're too good for. Will Tucker Carlson have any compassion for workers of Qatar, and lead them to rise up in demanding economic and foreign policy programs that serve their own interests, over the rich and powerful of his Qatari homeland?

[More Stuff I Learned From Professor whig:]
The word glamour is a Scottish alteration of the word grammar, originating in the early 18th century. It derives from the obsolete Scots term gramarye (meaning magic or occult learning), which itself came from the Middle English gramere and Old French gramaire. Key Etymological Evolution: Medieval Roots: In the Middle Ages, grammar (grammatica) referred to the study of Latin and general scholarship. Because literacy was rare and associated with the clergy, this learning was often conflated with magic, astrology, and the supernatural. Scottish Adaptation: By the 1720s, Scots speakers altered grammar to glamour to specifically denote a magical spell or enchantment that deceived the eyes, as seen in Allan Ramsay’s poem The Rise and Fall of Stocks. Semantic Shift: Popularized by Sir Walter Scott in the early 19th century, the meaning shifted from "deceptive magic" to alluring beauty or charm by the 1840s, eventually becoming associated with Hollywood and high fashion by the 1930s.

During the totally nuts kindling plan, he poured gasoline on his severed genitals and "set it on fire on the floor of the garage just inside the door," according to court documents cited by the station.
When Peden later ran into police, he claimed he'd been slashed in the city's downtown area, according to the court documents. He will not be given a tox screen to determine which Big Pharma company is responsible.

Peden told cops he "harmed himself" inside the garage in Fort Wayne by "cutting off his penis" with a kitchen knife on May 6, FOX 59 reported.

Yes. The Fox polls are Dem leaning and have been for more than a decade. 2. I invite you to investigate how accurate summer polling is. "The summer polling is 100% accurate because the final polls of the last election were 60% accurate." Anyone who compares summer polling to final polling is unserious. And anyone who, after the last few years, thinks that polling is at all accurate is unserious. According to summer polling in 2020, Perdue was going to easily win. He lost. According to summer polling in 2020 in NC, Cunningham was going to easily win. He lost.

The photo of him looks trans. The NY Post gayly said he has sparkling blue eyes. Pity he did not cut his pee pee and set it on fire (I guess this is one way of not having it reattached). His name is Chester Green. Granted I would not like being named Chester, either, but would not kill over it. There's a photo of him as a child and he looks mean and beady eyed. Sort of like Prince Harry. Widowed mother would try to get him interested in welding and bring him to community events. I feel badly for his mother's family and friend, but people said there was "something" wrong with him. I would vote for him being the furry trans cell mate, but different states. Pity I am not in charge of the world. Also read that Hakim has been voting for Maxine for seven months. How is that possible to vote for another person in congress??? Is this normal?

What kind of drugs was he on? Posted by: pookysgirl has a few guesses at July 09, 2026 03:30 PM (Wt5PA) It may take awhile to find out. Someone shared this article about a similar L.A. incident a couple nights ago, but it actually happened on March 7; the new news on July 4 was the toxicology report. Daily Star: https://tinyurl.com/5x8xr48r >>> The man is said to have used a non-serrated pen-knife around two inches long and three-quarters-inch wide to deliver the fatal injuries to himself in his final moments. The wound he inflicted to his genitalia was nearly a foot in circumference as it left his testes exposed and led his penis to be “degloving” from his body, the report stated. >>> It is understood the man died from self-inflicted wounds to an artery and vein in his right arm alongside injuries to his jugular vein and trachea in his neck. A toxicology report found Sutherland had an extreme amount of methamphetamine in his system at the time of his death and also alongside MDMA.

I'm friends with the homeowner whose garage was burned. Since the cradle. He called 18.437 seconds before Mossad came to collect their arson agent in his driveway. He told me the arsonist was "circumcised." I'm sure he was. The question is, why?
Well, my bosom friend and eternal victim of this attack is more Catholic than the Pope. And if you read Talmud you'll see that Jews believe you should "burn your gentiles in their garages." Is it possible that Mossad had a typo in the brainwashing newsreel they forced this poor man to watch for 96 hours before this mission? I think so, but only Ben Shapiro can say for sure.

This is boring. Some German guy a while back put an ad in personals that he wanted to cut someone's dick off and eat it, and he was looking for a volunteer. He got ... many volunteers.
He finally picked one lunatic and cut his dick off. The dickless guy wanted to eat a piece of his own dick. But he passed out from blood loss while the dick was cooking. He ended up dying without ever eating his own dick. I'm not making any of this up. There was a big murder (?) trial about it in Germany.

322 Austin progressives just despise black women. Nothing Crockett could have done would have convinced them to not vote for Talarico like Syrians voting for Assad.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison, discovering British horror with Hammer Films at July 09, 2026 04:00 PM (va4Cb) ----- I live outside Austin. I think it's less that Austin Liberals don't like black women than it is that they vastly prefer weird-ass pseudo-dudes who say weird shit about trans kids, because that's what they all are. Weird, soft, Talarico-looking dudes and the "women" that have sex with them. All creepy as fuck.

Posted by: Another Anon at July 09, 2026 06:42 PM (4h45B) Federal Judge in Florida Overrules DC Judge, Orders the DHS to Turn Back on SAVE's Verification System for Determining Aliens' Eligibility for Benefits -- and VotingRemember foreign judge "Sparkle" Sooknanan? She claimed that it was unconstitution for Trump to check voter names against social security numbers to determine if they were eligible to vote. She herself is a foreign citizen -- she has dual citizenship, and never renounced her foreign one, despite suggesting that she would if approved to be a judge -- so she's very invested in the idea that foreigners should rule United States citizens.Libs of TikTokBut not a Florida federal judge says "turn the machines back on." He himself was the judge in a case where states sued the DHS to secure the elections, and the consent decree reached by the DHS and the states was that these safeguards were to be implemented. So "Sparkle's" ruling contradicts a judge-approved settlement between the states and the federal government. For that reason, he's "overruling" her. Federal judge hands Trump big win, directs DHS to restore voter verification features of SAVE system The SAVE system was enhanced under the Trump administration to better support state election integrity efforts, including maintenance of state voter rolls.I'm not sure how a Florida district judge can "overrule" a DC district judge, since both are equals. Appeals courts overrule district judges below them. But this judge, overseeing the DHS/state settlement, might have some special authority to protect the settlement. So is it over? NOPE! Judge "Sparkle" says she doesn't care what another judge with direct responsibility to oversee this settlement says, she says she's a Cultural Enricher here to set us all straight! Kyle Becker

Sorry I'm late. According to Brave AI, Graham Platner is still on for November:
>>> No, suspending a campaign does not count as withdrawing under Maine law. To be replaced on the general election ballot, a candidate must take the specific legal step of formal withdrawal, which is distinct from merely suspending campaign operations. Key Distinctions: * Formal Requirement: A candidate must submit a signed, written notice of withdrawal to the Secretary of State’s Elections Division. A public announcement, press release, or social media post stating that a campaign is "suspended" is legally insufficient. * Precedent: In April 2026, Governor Janet Mills suspended her U.S. Senate campaign but explicitly stated she was not withdrawing. Because she did not file the formal paperwork, her name remained on the primary ballot, and votes cast for her were counted. * Current Status: As of July 9, 2026, Deputy Secretary of State Jana Spaulding confirmed that a "public declaration is not an official withdrawal." Until the signed letter is received by the 5 p.m. deadline on July 13, the candidate remains the official nominee, and the party cannot initiate the replacement process.

The opposite rulings by 2 District Court judges will probably lead to expedited appellate court rulings. That's about all the split means. The opposite rulings still apply in the 2 Districts.

Posted by: Axeman Unless Scotus and appellate courts do their jobs, this will only get more common. Basically most of the West has moved to two tier sets of laws--one for the 'oppressed' and another for the 'oppressor'. This is exactly what Critical Legal Studies, by which the Democrats have loaded judicial benches with, wants and it is not enough to be passive and wait to whack the mole, appellate courts have to be aggressive and immediately vacate idiotic notions that district court judges have.

Last year, Republicans were successful in using the party-line One Big Beautiful Bill Act to achieve their long sought-after goal of defunding Planned Parenthood. But the complicated Senate rules involved in passing the bill meant the ban only lasted one year instead of 10.

There are judges thumbing their noses at recent Supreme Court decisions precisely because the SCOTUS has no mechanism for discipline.
Posted by: Axeman Scotus and appellate courts actually do--summary reversals and writs of mandamus. If it goes far enough, civil contempt of court which is the exception to the jury trial. And that includes jail time. But what it does mean is that those judges have to actually do their jobs, not sally forth on lengthy vacays abroad etc. The original recess periods were for justices to go ride on circuit as trial judges, not to vacay for months. Posted by: whig at July 09, 2026 02:52 PM (E4rtv) 121
The founders would have never thought an elite branch like the Court would ever need that kind of discipline. Because they are all supposed to be top-of-their-game professionals, doing judge things.

Naturalized citizens are legally permitted to serve as U.S. Senators, Representatives, and Federal Judges. Unlike the presidency—which explicitly requires a candidate to be a "natural-born citizen"—members of Congress and federal judges only need to meet distinct citizenship duration and age mandates.
The specific constitutional requirements are: U.S. House of Representatives: At least 25 years old and a U.S. citizen for at least 7 years. U.S. Senate: At least 30 years old and a U.S. citizen for at least 9 years. Federal Judges: The U.S. Constitution sets no specific age, citizenship, or educational requirements for federal judges, though they are appointed by the president and must be confirmed by the Senate.

He simply is a ghost to much of the state, Collins, on the other hand, to win the primary spent time all over the state in the last two years and beat two other good candidates in a primary AND runoff. Plus, the federal GOP Senate committee may now coordinate with Collins and spend without limit to support him due to a recent Supreme Court decision. Independent groups cannot. So the DNC and its legislative party counterparts are hurting due to lack of fundraising for years. Posted by: whig at July 09, 2026 03:05 PM (E4rtv) 169

I think its crazy that this was not already the law. "Rep. Nancy Mace has proposed legislation requiring federal judges, members of Congress, and Senate-confirmed officials to be natural-born U.S. citizens."
Unfortunately the commiecrats will block such legislation. They have a lot of foreign born agents embedded in judgeships, and elected offices and will fight to keep their commie agents in place. Posted by: PaleRider at July 09, 2026 03:07 PM (PV+Zw) 179

Posted by: L ====== Historically it never came up precisely because the US did not recognize dual citizenship and indeed if you voted in a foreign election, you could be charged and even stripped of US citizenship. See Afroyim v. Rusk case. Another crappy Warren court decision that even Congress and up to President Carter fought until finally ending the resistance to get around the ruling.

One problem with dual citizenship is that even if we don't recognize it the other country does. UK is an example. You were always a British subject. Even if you came here and the US says sorry we don't recognize that. Britain still did. That's changing for white people, but it's just an example.

161 Naturalized citizens are legally permitted to serve as U.S. Senators, Representatives, and Federal Judges. Unlike the presidency—which explicitly requires a candidate to be a "natural-born citizen"—members of Congress and federal judges only need to meet distinct citizenship duration and age mandates.
That's really starting to look like an unforced error.

Primary's over.
Platner's the nominee by vote. The only way to replace him is if he walks away formally (which he's saying he'll do) and then the ME Democrat Party chooses who replaces him. Mills makes the most sense since she got #2 in the primary, which means that the Democrats will not do that.

Second is usually muted as disappointment factor is less and you have a selection effect as unpopular presidents don't run and win reelection.

226 Collins is down by 6 points to Ossoff in GA, according to a recent FOX poll. FOX polls are not usually accused of being in the DEM's hip pocket. College polls often are.

About polls: I notice when the polls are favorable to the GOP/conservative candidates or ballot initiatives, they are often cited as evidence our side is winning. But when the polls show a bDEM beating Susan Collins, or Ossoff winning in GA, then "All polls are trash!"

The United States fully allows dual or multiple citizenship. Under current U.S. State Department rules, American citizens are not required to choose between U.S. nationality and another citizenship.
I wonder how many times a constitutional amendment has been sought. More than theatrical. But this is interesting: According to the Constitution of India, India strictly prohibits dual nationality. If a citizen of India voluntarily acquires U.S. citizenship, they automatically lose their Indian citizenship. The "Sort Of" Solution (OCI): To help immigrants who had to give up their passports, India later created the Overseas Citizenship of India (OCI) card. It is often called a "pseudo-dual citizenship" because it grants lifelong travel, residency, and business rights in India, but does not allow the cardholder to vote or hold public office there.

Actually, I think it was this but I could be wrong:
The 1965 Link: While the 1946 law allowed naturalization, the U.S. capped arrivals at just 100 Indian immigrants per year. The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 removed that tiny quota, allowing thousands of Indian citizens to move to the U.S. and eventually naturalize.

Massachusetts requires a social security # to secure a Commercial Driver's License. Since Massachusetts ignored this law twice in issuing the CDL to an illegal immigrant (who would not have the ability to acquire a SS#...legally) I think they just negated any qualified immunity.
Posted by: Orson at July 09, 2026 02:59 PM (dIske) That, or they accepted an ITIN, or they accepted a false SSN without checking it. They might claim that they had no way of verifying SSN and no process in place to do so, and further were not required to do so. Which makes the entire process a freaking joke, of course. Why issue a strictly controlled license or permit like a CDL if you can't verify that the person who is issued it is the same person that either earned the certification, or exists at all? I swear to God it would work better for the insurance companies and bonding companies to issue CDLs since they stand the chance of being sued for being corrupt arseholes.

Has any one U.S. Citizen thought that just maybe these judges' sole purpose is to inflate government lawyer billable hours and to inflate the number of cases whereby additional lawyers must be hired? This is all on U.S. taxpayers, paying lawyer fees on both sides of the argument. Certainly not the MSM which broadcasts these bogus cases for clicks. Certainly not the Judicial Branch which gains notoriety and importance with these faux judicial conflicts. Follow the money. It's a non-productive business for profit.
Posted by: John at July 09, 2026 06:47 PM (9NUKl) Jasmine Ratchet: I Only Lost the Primary Because It Was a "Racist Race" Y'all, I Won't Be Campaigning with the Gay That WonI wonder if she's debuting her podcast, too. Radical leftist Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) said race played a major role in her Democrat primary loss to Texas Democrat Senate candidate James Talarico (D). Crockett argued that racism, not politics, was the deciding factor in her Democrat primary loss to James Talarico. "The reality is that there was a lot of races, not a lot, it was racist. It was a racist race. It is what it is, right? But we live in America as y'all are celebrating 250, okay? We know what this country is," Crockett said. Crockett rejected criticism that she should have spent more time campaigning alongside Talarico. Instead, she said her strategy was to help down-ballot candidates, pointing to five black men she endorsed in Texas runoff races who all advanced to the November election. "The best thing that I can do for James Talarico isn't me standing on a stage with him," Crockett said. "It is the fact that I endorsed five candidates in the runoff who all happen to be black men in the state of Texas and every single one of them won." She pushed back on criticism that she should have campaigned more directly for Talarico, saying giving voters multiple candidates to support is a more effective strategy for boosting turnout. "People keep trying to say, 'Well, Jasmine has to go and hold his hand.' No, I don't," she said. "If you can give people more than one thing to vote for, then you have a better chance of getting them out to the polls." ... Crockett previously said she does not believe black voters have fully united behind Talarico's Senate campaign and confirmed she will skip next week's Texas Democrat Party convention. She said she has not seen broad enthusiasm for Talarico or the rest of the party's statewide candidates, adding that many voters remain unconvinced despite several months remaining before the November election. "I've not heard a bunch of kumbaya," Crockett said. "People don't seem to be convinced at this point, but there's a lot of time between now and November."I credit the racial anger to Stephen Colbert, who broke FCC rules by interviewing the gay white kid and refusing to offer an interview to Ratchett. That was some straight racist shit from Colbert. Typical prog, using the blacks for power and then shutting them out of power themselves. #BoycottTalarico
Meanwhile, some black Texas voters say they won't vote for the gay white dweeb, because xhe disrespected black people.
Boy I wish I could be an anti-racist like this fat ghetto hoochie trash.

Posted by: bonhomme at July 09, 2026 01:25 PM (mkw2N) 25
When Talarico loses what the left convinced themselves would be an easy race to pick up because of Paxton's flaws, the black Democrat electorate is not going to let the rest of the party forget that Crockett would have totally won.
The Democrat Party has elevated the black vote so much since 2008, desperate to replicate Obama's numbers over and over again with the black vote, that they have given so much narrative and political space to any dark face that can begin to draw in black votes. And...suddenly...white progressives in Austin combine with DNC forces to steal a Senate seat from an accomplished black woman in favor of a mediocre white man who loses a winnable race?

Of course Jasmine put on a ghetto act to appeal to her district voters and that was probably a hindrance for winning a statewide race.

Nasty womman.
Not wanting to insult 'ette's who have nail art just because I don't, as many women do this that I know. I tell my husband this is why I spend so much $ on my hair every couple of months (or see an esthetician once a year as I am in reality saving money). I've had one mani/pedi in my entire life before son's wedding. I did not like that Korean woman messing with my feet. I can paint my own nails, thanks, and not worry about what I am exposing myself to. I know I am weird and don't care! Anyway, I note Crockett has the claws of discomfort and often wonder about bathroom habits or anything else like an itching eye with the claws. I wear gloves to garden and assume she does not garden, sew, paint or anything else involving fingers. Heck, how do you type on a laptop. I'd be yanking those off within a day. I note in the last photo her little fingernail has a red tip vs the others. Why? To disguise her snorting cocaine with it? Is it a signal? Did someone goof?

I don't like many of Talarico's ideals and can't get myself to vote for him. Talarico supports abortion because it’s objectively better for the well being of society. Why are you anti Muslim? Are you racist? Islamophobic? Not very Christ like of you. You’re anti trans too? Talarico’s beliefs are much more in line with those of Jesus than yours are. Be better. Conservatism is a cult, my friend, and it's sad to see what it's done to so many innocent children like you. Let go of the fear you have that other people will get something you don't think they deserve. That different groups of people than you're used to will have power. This is why people don’t like conservative Christians. You’ll never put other people’s well being first and you’ll vote for the most despicable human beings on earth and claim it’s for ethical reasons. Fuck your individualist, psychopath mindset that centers yourself and your dollar above all else. Jesus did have radical empathy. Sister, I’d say please read the whole book of Matthew (again?) from beginning to the end and note everything Jesus taught. See if it changes your perspective on both of them.

It's always useful to remind yourself of the frame of reality that Crockett et al. are coming from:
In all of the media they consume, not just mainstream but especially "black," they are portrayed as 50% or more of the population. Not 13%--50% or more. So, that all elected offices are not at least 50% black-held is by itself proof of racism. But good lord, imagine living in that toxic stew so far distorted from actual reality?

You, here in Utah we have had a mandatory forced redistricting using maps drawn up by far left groups in Virginia.
We had Burgess Owens, a black man, in my old congressional district. He was a Republican. He replaced Mia Love, a black woman Republican, in my old district. Due to the forced Democrat redistricting, Owens has retired so we will get a white male. Just what Democrats, who are totally not racist, demanded! By the way.... the stuff our local leftists say about Mia Love before she died and about Owens now is straight from the 1850s Democrat party. As is expected.

You You is awesome -
Collin Rugg @CollinRugg · 1h A Chinese restaurant in the Bay Area is fining parents for their out-of-control kids. The owner of Chez Xue says he has had enough of poorly behaved children in his restaurant, so he is now fining parents. You You Xue says one customer changed a dirty diaper next to another customer who was dining. "We are not a playground. Please ensure children REMAIN SEATED at all times and respectful of fellow guests and the dining environment," the restaurant's policy says. "Running around, shouting, making noise with utensils, etc. WILL NOT BE TOLERATED!" One parent was charged $327 after their child smashed a credit card machine. Another parent was charged $109 after their kid carved designs into a table with a utensil. One more parent was charged $5 after a child smashed a teacup. "I honestly put this notice on my menu because I didn't want to put my employees in the position of parenting other people's children. It should not be their job," the owner said.

That makes sense, because I don't know a single man who thinks duck lips look hot.

I know I'd have bad luck and the filler would migrate to my forehead like Prince Hazbeen's Forehead Lipoma. Again, if removed, do you have flappy lips for the rest of your life if you don't seek a plastic surgeon? Once something stretches it might not bounce back to normal.

Posted by: Notsothoreau at July 09, 2026 02:58 PM (bkuEU) Graham Platner Officially Withdraws From Position as Sturmgruppefuhrer of the Maine Democrat PartyI saw, I think, Chicks on the Right discussing Platner's plans from the future. They think -- and I think they're right -- that he's going to immediately cash in by starting a (get this) podcast, and he's chumming the water with antisemitic conspiracy theories to get the reliably unemployed-and-available-to-watch Tuq'r Qarlson/Candace Owens/Me-Again Kelly Nazi audience. He blames unnamed "large forces" conspiring to drive him out of the race by spreading lies. If it's a lie, why drop out? Maybe because he's been told the Racicot rape allegation will be the first, not the last, rape allegation coming. Bear in mind, Racicot is a leftist who agreed with Graham Platner politically. She had an incentive to make her allegation public before the deadline to withdrawal. The Republican Party, on the other hand, has been sitting on its oppo until after the deadline. More was coming. I hope it still all comes out. Because, seriously, I agree with the Woke Left: #PunchANazi.And yet you're dropping out, as if they have you dead to rights. There is no other way to view it, Herr Rapist. "It most certainly is not. We're not doing it because of the allegations. We're doing it because of the structures that are being taken away from us by those in power," he said.He means the Democrat's senate campaign slush fund announced it would spend zero dollars to support Platner's campaign. But he still has a lot of supporters -- and anyway, the party committees actually don't spend very much on most candidates. That's why Mitch McConnell was always recruiting liberal millionaires to run for Senate, he wanted them to be self-financing (and also, liberal RINOs). Pennsylvania Democratic Sen. John Fetterman blasted Platner after his announcement. "The trash took itself out tonight," he bluntly told Fox News. "Now finally people in Maine have a chance to vote on someone that's not a total piece of trash." Just hours after the latest rape claims, Schumer and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) issued a joint statement denouncing Platner. "The allegations reported today are incredibly disturbing -- violence, abuse and sexual assault are absolutely unacceptable," it said. "Graham Platner needs to immediately withdraw as the Democratic nominee for Senate and allow Maine Democrats the opportunity to choose a new candidate who can defeat Susan Collins. The DSCC [Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee] will not invest in the Maine Senate race if Platner remains on the ballot." ... Platner lashed out at those who abandoned him and pulled his financial support. "We are going to lose our ability to fundraise. We are going to lose our ability to access voter data. We are going to lose all of the things that any campaign needs on the basic level simply to function," he bemoaned. "Larger organizations, the national level party, the bigger donor networks -- they have all committed to spending no money in this race if I'm in it," Platner continued. "They would rather see Susan Collins win than have me be the next senator from Maine," he said.People were unimpressed by this High-T Super-Male's whiny, self-pitying Twitter Flounce. The failed candidate uploaded the "woe is me" clip announcing his withdrawal after a woman he previously dated, Jenny Racicot, publicly alleged that he drunkenly raped her at her Maine home in 2021 despite her repeated pleas to stop. He denied the allegation. "This video is more embarrassing than the Nazi tattoo," Emily Zanotti, a friend of one Platner's exes accusing him of misconduct, tweeted. "Graham Platner announces the real victim in all of this is Graham Platner," right-wing influencer Western Lensman posted on X. "Saved you 11 minutes." "TLDR: Campaign suspended and a whole bunch of bluster," read a post from the Chicks on the Right X account. ... The failed candidate's lack of self-awareness throughout the video, as well as his insistence that his ex-girlfriend was lying about being raped by him, left many stunned and puzzled. "It is not the establishment's fault that your ex lover accused you of raping her," political consultant Micah Erfan noted. "Narcissistic sociopath," conservative radio talk show host Larry O'Connor said in response to Platner's video.

As I read what he said, he's not dropping out so much as "suspending" his campaign. While usually there is no difference, that might not be true here. Why? Because they still need to find someone to replace him.
I don't know what Maine law is on exactly what the candidate needs to do to be replaced. I don't know if "suspending" a campaign -- as opposed to formally withdrawing your candidacy -- is enough to trigger a replacement. We'll see. I would not surprise me at all if this vile leech comes back next week and says "ha ha ha, you stupid fuckers. You can't replace me, I didn't formally drop out!"

Platner's sad Nazi face makes me smile. Then I revert to thinking of his intruder dreams and laugh quietly. That was some funny stuff, man. I can see a date of mine telling me that and I'd have a sudden and violent food poisoning threat come on and demand to be taken home.

Platner was being way to vocal about his platform... which is exactly the same as the rank and file left's.
I think the so-called "democratic socialists" are the up and commers. They're not real vocal about much else other than the "social" part of their platform.

the left handled the entire Platner situation pretty well... he had questionable past, but was running as a fantastic progressive candidate for Maine. it shows the humanity of the left. As Hasan says a lot, something along the lines of “you hate me but I still want you to have healthcare”
What a gut punch fr. There's no way the Republican oppo would not have found this. Shame on him for saying there's nothing else Plattner's represented a complete failure of the democratic party. Mainers were willing to vote for Plattner's platform despite his red flags, not because of them. This would not be a conversation if Schumer's priority was winning the senate majority instead of beating his left flank. Platner’s appeal was that he was winning. Now that he is dropping out, we can shut up about it and get behind somebody else who has a chance. But if Susan Collins keeps her seat because of this, that is a disaster. Troy Jackson can win. If it isn't him, Maine isn't serious So 600 Democratic party establishment insiders are going to pick the candidate? Mainers will be pissed. It's Biden/Harris all over again.

Posted by: 18-1 at July 09, 2026 12:24 PM (sKqQm) It's this. I said this over the last few days: Platner was their attempt to butch up the brand. They desperately wanted to change the direction they see their brand as going as just rapey twinks and child molesters. We have seen elements of this with that retarded 'expert' who was a woman who was supposed to be telling them how to appeal to straight dudes again. At least theoretically, Platner was a more genuine version of this. But he's also a fake in that he is a degenerate (and I do not mean sexual, per se) version of masculinity. He's needlessly combative, fragile ego, pampered and immature. THEN there is the sexual stuff. This is true for all of the progressive male icons (Hasan is another example in almost exactly the same mold.) The thing is their versions are missing the essential aspects of masculinity (Stoicism, wisdom, calmness, decisiveness. Gravitas.) They are without the things that actually appeal to dudes.

They'll succeed where I can't because the 'powers' won't keep them down like they did me, even though they have the same platform as me... Why won't they keep them down when they have the same platform? No, it's not because they realized I'm a total fraud nepo-baby, vile rapist about to get oppo'd into oblivion with no chance to win.

"It really makes me look bad," sighed Marks. "I'm telling you, I didn't know at the time what a tattoo of Graham Platner really meant, how bad it was. I would never have done it.

I think the most amusing thing about the whole Graham Platner ordeal is that he was aspiring to a position of the US Senate, which is a "representative" seat. The original concept or idea being that an elected Senator being one of two individuals from your State being representative of everyone in that state.
So, essentially, a Nazi loving, probable rapist, definite misogynist, porta-potty loving, butt rape dominatrix, lying lay-a-bout, communist and/or socialist thought he was a good match to represent the people of Maine.

40 As I read what he said, he's not dropping out so much as "suspending" his campaign. While usually there is no difference, that might not be true here. Why? Because they still need to find someone to replace him.
I don't know what Maine law is on exactly what the candidate needs to do to be replaced. I don't know if "suspending" a campaign -- as opposed to formally withdrawing your candidacy -- is enough to trigger a replacement. We'll see. I would not surprise me at all if this vile leech comes back next week and says "ha ha ha, you stupid fuckers. You can't replace me, I didn't formally drop out!" Posted by: Elric The Blade at July 09, 2026 12:22 PM (iFTx/) According to Brave AI, a public announcement does not suffice -- it also does not count to merely 'suspend' a campaign, but that's redundant with the lack of process -- and yes he's still on the ballot. It even cited the formal requirement, recent precedent, and a current announcement by the Deputy Secretary of State to that effect. The machines are getting really, really good at this.

The passive accumulation of data on our movements is disturbing even if it were to occur on a single day. Yes, the Fourth Amendment speaks to "persons, houses, papers, and effects," and is of less utility in public. But this surveillance is permanent, long term accumulation of information that in the aggregate is nobody's business...least of all government!

This isn't a cop parked on the side of the road who happens to notice something. This is surveillance in the absence of probable cause, and that violates the spirit of the United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights. The government parses our rights to diminish their impact on its fanatical desire to know everything about us, but routine surveillance without a court order seems to be a clear violation of our right to be safe from government observation.

A couple things about these Flock camera systems;
- The database access isn't just limited to LE, anyone with a subscription license can search it. It isn't cheap either. - The cameras (video recorders) are popping up in unusual places; playgrounds, public parks and swimming pools, shopping centers, etc. In some cases they are not pointed at the parking lot, but rather at a store front, the kiddie pool or children's playground. Some speculate the number of p3d0's with access to the system isn't insignificant. And they use it to case certain areas for later "activity." Others say it's just security precautions. It certainly can be both. Our little town has several. And a budget of around $70K for licensing, data access and the equipment. Far more than the public works dept. has available.

I didn't expect that all-encompassing surveillance would come through private companies first, but it actually makes sense. Posted by: Formerly Virginian Third person doctrine and a distortion of Katz ruling which is the current 4th amendment standard of reasonable expectation of privacy. Computers were not advanced back then to allow a continuous dossier to be compiled of citizen movements, almost 24-7 in real time and for later perusal. Between cell phone geolocation, Flock cameras, and police being able to access text messaging, email, call records, and all spending/banking information without a warrant, then the shreds of privacy left scarcely prevents police from focusing on disliked individuals and then trying to find the crime. Just this week, several GA police officers were fired and criminally charged for misuse of Flock camera information and I suspect that is the tip of the iceberg. Like Alito said in another case involving trackers, there should be a mosaic theory of warrants because technology advances have shredded the old Katz std.

Under the 4th Katz ruling, if you are in public, then you have a much lessened expectation of privacy. Those justices never contemplated today's technology where computers rather than cops can follow you around 24-7 without coffee breaks, overtime, etc. Same with cops subscribing to other commercial databases to find out all they can about you including social media.

The Court held that law enforcement officers may conduct a warrantless search of a vehicle if they have probable cause to believe it contains contraband or evidence of a crime.

Those that are legitimately sued? There's no reason the city/citizens should have to pay for it.
And maybe, just maybe, it'll force cities and counties to hire qualified individuals. Posted by: rickb223 ===== I agree. First, no non-cop should be able to claim qualified immunity and that means bureaucrats. Rehnquist court in a mistake, created the qualified immunity standard from whole cloth in order to stop endless lawsuits on cops but it created almost absolute immunity instead for all bureaucrats. Distorted version of the Scotus ruling in Dalehite v. United States (1953) (Texas City ship explosion), where Scotus ruled that the Federal Tort Claims Act did not override US Sovereign immunity (federal inspector of the fertilizer that caused the explosion in Texas City harbor was sued.) In reality, it appears the extremely hot weather liquified a lot of the ammonium nitrate and the delays in loading and shipping probably caused the disaster rather than the inspector.

IIRC, the UK has had extensive CCV camera surveillance and what has that gotten them?
Has this stopped terrorism, acid attacks, child rape, beheadings? They can watch, but does this affect the will to do old fashioned police *action*? --- The cameras are not there to protect the people. They are there to increase the power of the state. I saw a camping video on YT, where just after this fellow set up camp in the UK, a police drone appeared, hovered and over the speaker told him to leave. It hovered there until he left.

102 Under the landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling Riley v. California, officers cannot access the digital contents of your device simply because you are arrested. A warrant signed by a judge is required to scroll through apps, texts, or call logs.
Posted by: polynikes ======== That applies to the device that they hold in their hand, they can get an administrative subpoena directly to the telcom provider and get that directly from the telcom industry except for the apps loaded perhaps. Riley was not as a big of a decision that Roberts, the poser he is, claimed in his ruling. Read Smith v. Maryland (1979) which regards what the cops can get by administrative subpoena from your telcom and understand that under the third person doctrine, your banking records, call records, texts, emails, the websites you visit,commercial purchases, do not require warrants for third parties to hand over to the cops. They do require warrants if the cops come and seize your own equipment. So they bootstrap the subpoena information into a warrant application. And voila, probable cause. Scotus is mainly doing whack a mole on particular applications but avoiding the nasty question of technology. Posted by: whig at July 09, 2026 11:34 AM (E4rtv) 124

Posted by: polynikes No, they just released a decision that requires fencing an area and going through all the cell phone data within a geolocated area requires a warrant. Goes to the specificity of the claim. Basically telcoms (or any other business), as a third party, can hand over your data because it is no longer 'private' under Supreme Court rulings. Same as sharing spoken intentions of a crime with a third person, you cannot bar the third person (with some rare exceptions) from telling the cops about it. Same goes for billing information, geolocation data, even what tv programs you watch, and so on--if you share information with a company of any sort, then it can be obtained by a subpoena, not a warrant. You can try to quash the subpoena information in court but the police have already got the information. Usually, you get no notification of a subpoena until and unless you get charged. Less in nat sec cases. Posted by: whig at July 09, 2026 11:44 AM (E4rtv) 167

Knew a guy in college that was from Alaska. He got pulled over for doing 70. Apparently the conversation went like this: "Son, do you know that if you hit a moose at 70 you'd be dead?" "Officer, if I hit a moose at 55, I'd be dead." Posted by: NR Pax at July 09, 2026 11:50 AM (/k3in) 178

Posted by: Rev. Wishbone ====== End to end encryption generally makes that worthless for cops but not always. What is crueler is the frequent use of Stinger fake cell phone towers to bulk intercept data by cops. Often, cops drop a case whenever that comes up as a source of data due to nat sec protections demanded by the company providing the data to the cops. Cops view their job as catching criminals, not protecting your rights in general. You have to act to protect and safeguard your own because government officials sure as hell are not going to do that.

When I first tried to go onto the camera mapping, it spooled and then closed every open tab on my computer twice.
It finally settled down. The county has 169 cameras in view. (Flock safety 40; Axis Communications 6; IMotorola Soluations 4; Other 1, and 118 unknown.) In my area, they're primarily in the Wal-Marts, Targets, Home Depot, and Lowe's parking lots, and then dotted along major roads and highways. They're much less likely in the very finest areas. But, again, I'm seeing the 'In View' category. Agencies in VA, OH, TX, NC, CA, around Chicago, and a few others appear to have the most public cameras, but that's a small percentage. (Hidden is the great percentage.) I wonder who the people are who do edits on the cameras? Some cameras may have one edit, others many. Thanks.

Posted by: Rev. Wishbone --------- I have had two unpleasant experiences in that regard. On a road trip I had my ham radio walkie-talkie lying on the seat of the car while driving, scanning sundry bands. This is common practice among hams. The intent is to make contact with other amateur operaters. In theory, ham radios are blocked from receiving cell frequencies. Mine, purchased used, had been unblocked. I did not know this. Abruptly, I was listening to a very private, and painful, cell phone call. I could not switch it off fast enough. You may recall that Newt Gingrich had a private cell call intercepted in an overt monitoring of his calls. My second unintentional experience was while tuning a receiver for use on the public service band for emergency purposes. Suddenly, I was listening to a private conversation. It took me a moment to realize that it was apparently nearby neighbors, and I was picking up their baby monitor. Again, I couldn't kill the coms quickly enough to be comfortable.

"And it isn't just government that uses Flock....HOAs are big users of their systems for their deeply disturbing Big Brother activities."
OBJECTION! HOAs *ARE* government. They're just at a local level. More local than your state, your city, your township. But just because they're tiny, doesn't mean they don't have the same risks as government. It's just that there's way fewer seats and positions available, and the people that gravitate to those few positions, like moths to a flame, are usually the people you DON'T want anywhere near the levers of power. Also, much like the axiom about academics, HOA politics are vicious simply because of the lower stakes. Having your nation invaded by a warlike neighbor is a heavier concern than whether your lawn is 6 cm or 8 cm. But those with the tiny bit of power they have will spend too much time and money to make sure YOU never let a blade of grass get to 6.1 cm.

"Fusion Center"
That's a buzzword someone came up with to describe a place were data is collected, analyzed and decisions made what to do with the information therein. Sometimes the decisions are questionable, ending up being illegal or immoral. A lot of political dirty tricks start in them. "Datacenters" are the logical extension. They'll hold all sorts of data that can be "fused" together to reveal an awful lot about the public... without their knowledge. And, of course, used to control us.

Posted by: ShainS I used to keep up with the field but quit after I retired. Too depressing. If we want to get our rights back, then horrible punishment of criminals including widespread death penalty and lengthy incarcerations without any tripe of conjugal visits will be necessary for two or three generations. It will take that to prune away the criminal class to a manageable size by a) preventing them from breeding more criminals, b) preventing more crimes as super criminals commit a disproportionate amount of crimes--roughly 2 percent or so of the US population, and c) it breaks up the multi generational pathology creating literal crime families where criminal activity is normalized. (The killer on the Charlotte tram is an example of such intergenerational crime--the father was a murderer himself for example and all the kids had lengthy criminal records.)

Yes. Police can actually be charged with trespassing if they do not leave after repeated demands by the resident that they do so. And criminal damage. The problem with doing so is of course retaliation from the blue badge gang.

The cop said she did it and used the Flock footage as defacto proof of guilt, like hey, it wasn't his decision, the cameras show it, talk to the hand! Posted by: Lizzy ------ Unfortunately, if she even slightly resembled the camera image, she would probably be in jail if it went to a jury (without her contrary evidence). I sat on a jury where the defendant was convicted (despite my vote -believe it or not, Oregon can convict on some crimes with a 10 -2 jury vote) where the only evidence was the word of a coo who supposedly saw her in the back seat of a car, at night, with no interior light, while he was in the front seat making a drug deal.with the driver, for less than 3 minutes total, and who "recognized" her 4 months later meeting her in an unrelated manner. One *stereotype alert* little old lady on the jury actually said "If she wasn't guilty, I don't think the cop would have arrested her"!

I'm suddenly reminded of a story from a decade or two ago.
In the UK, the government was starting to institute speed cameras everywhere. The public wasn't too enthused, especially since it wasn't for safety, but for fines. Some enterprising folks decided to take it upon themselves to shut down the cameras by placing a tyre over the machines. And then set the tyre on fire. This was probably around 2010 or so. I remember reading a few articles about it back then. I guess the government got tired of their subjects objecting to being subjected to such heavy-handedness. So they replaced said subjects with imports from elsewhere. Posted by: Another Anon at July 09, 2026 12:35 PM (4h45B) 295

Skip-Trace companies have been tapping into private security systems and using license plate reader technology for well over a decade. The coverage has been national for at least 10yrs.
*For those not familiar, skip-trace companies assist in locating people for private detectives and repossession companies. According to the guy I know who worked for one ~10 yrs ago-the system would alert him to a hit and the client looking for that vehicle, he'd pull up the feed to verify and send the info to the client. He sometimes was able to see the actual repossession occur, tow truck would get there fast enough. Posted by: you're in hell, the world ended at July 09, 2026 02:11 PM (+O247) 300
