The Morning Rant
Things are changing enough that CNN noted a drastic falloff of Jewish support for Democrats on the generic ballot in New York. Not that surprising since the New York Jewish vote tends to be some of the most traditional in the country. But the generic ballot usually trended Democrat because Democratic congressional candidates would try to appeal to Jews. We're now in the era of the actively antisemitic congressional candidate like Dariazila Avila Chevalier, who celebrated the Oct 7 attacks, Claire Valdez and their gruesome toady, Brad Lander. No surprise that Jewish support for the generic ballot is crashing. But a McLaughlin poll claims that overall Jewish support has flipped on the generic ballot.
I find it almost incomprehensible that any Jew, no matter how assimilated and contemptuous of his ancestral religion and culture would vote for those who support the destruction of the Jewish people. Are they finally waking up? Here's some of the data from the McLaughlin poll:
Among the voters in our survey:
- Protestants, who account for 38% of likely voters, favor Republicans for Congress by 51% to 43%, an 8-point advantage.
- Catholics, representing 24% of likely voters, favor Republicans by just 48% to 46%, a narrow 2-point margin.
- Evangelical Christians, who make up 29% of likely voters and overlap with other Christian categories, support Republicans by 56% to 37%, a strong 19-point advantage.
- Jewish voters, representing 4% of likely voters, favor Republicans by a striking 64% to 33%, a potential major shift from historical voting patterns.
Here is FrontPageMag again...
Do I buy that shift? I think the number of Jewish voters polled is too small to put too much weight on it. But the level of everyday antisemitism that has been normalized among leftists is mind-blowing. You don’t have to go far to see Goebbels degree rhetoric. It’s leaking into not just the internet, but social circles and everyday interactions. (This isn’t just limited to leftists, but Jews live in liberal areas and encounter liberals more than anyone else.) I think that there is a growing sea change. I suspect it’s not quite as extreme.
Yes, it is a small poll that is only a snapshot, and very possibly not indicative of a lasting trend, but it is certainly interesting. For a lasting shift to occur among American Jews, the inertia of 110 years of voting for leftist policies and candidates, popularly known as Democrats, would have to change. Rabid, open, obvious Jew-hatred might be the force that pushes American Jews to a more sane approach to their political support. It has been self-destructive for a century, and ignorant of reality; perhaps open discussion among the darlings of the left of American Judaism as intrinsically evil, and Israel as a illegitimate and dangerous country is finally being heard. Color me skeptical (you would understand if you met some of my relatives!), but even a small shift is important. [Crossposted at CutJibNewsletter and X/Twitter].

That's theologically impossible. Yeah I know I know..."No true Scottsman" fallacy. But nevertheless, one can't be "Catholic" and support demonic entities running on a platform of abortion-right-up-to-and-including-birth and then go participate in communion afterwards. I get that the current fake pope isn't going to call them out for it, but I don't understand why more of the local priests aren't willing to take a stand.

Short answer: I think so, yes. It would be interesting to see this broken down by age. I suspect the biggest shift to the right -- or, more accurately, away from the left -- among Jews this election cycle is younger Jews.
Why younger? Because they've seen first-hand the viciousness and destruction the left has for Israel and Jews in general. And unlike older Jews, the younger ones don't have mostly obsolete fears of the KKK, Nazis, and the classic anti-semites.
The older Jews just can't seem to shake these old fears, and have a harder time seeing the real threat: their fellow Democraps. The call is coming from inside the house.

These ethnic (and religious) polls are...issue filled.
Never mind the fact that progressives are more likely to actually go through the polling process which creates response bias issues, you have to get a lot of Catholics to get a representative sample. Which is difficult and expensive to do.
They're always...suspect.
I take the exit polling from 2024 with less of a grain of salt than any other polling in this area, and exit polls have their own issues.
So, I doubt the Catholic vote has shifted about 10 points to the left in the last 2 years.

Because "Jew" can be ethnic, cultural a/o religious. That Venn does have overlap but is not a circle.
Trump's daughter: a proselyte, not ethnic or cultural — a religious Jew.
Bernie Sanders: ethnic and to a much lesser extent cultural Jew, not religious.
The problem is cultural, not religious. The cultural part provides a Diaspora mindset and the concept of as a Chosen Race, according to Dennis Prager, has a duty to guide everyone else to fall in line with their understanding of how the world ought to be.
Cultural + Religious gives us the so-called Judeo-Christian ethic for as much as Free Will is compatible with Divine Providence. The duty to guide others into a monotheistic drive for righteousness is ideal for the US, anything less is Anti-American and is completely incompatible with a Western 18th Century Christian worldview.

My take:
Catholicism can be considered a "blue collar" congregation. Traditionally Democratic. Generally speaking, the ones who get out and vote are the older people - many who still subscribe to the Democratic Party they grew up with and continue to vote that way. Even when the Democratic Party has morphed into the DSA.

Hitler didn't go after Jews because of religious hatred, but rather racial hatred.
The difference today is that the hatred of Jews by the Left is of the Notsee and Islamist bent, hatred of all Jews regardless of faith, which may be the impetus for changing voting patterns.

Depends on the theology.
Generally Speaking Roman Catholicism leans towards salvation through the Church. Due to its corporate nature, and the Second Chances concept of Purgatory, a Mob Fixer can perform a hit on the way to Mass and that is acceptable. So aborting children has its place in Rome.
This is in contrast to Confessional Christianity with a foundation within the Doctrines of Grace that, because of spiritual regeneration and sanctification would make it inconceivable for the Elect in Christ to vote for a pro-abortion candidate. The renewed mind finds that sin to be a characteristic of the unregenerated

I agree with TJM,
On any survey of 'values', there is an obvious selection bias problem first---poll respondents have become a special class of their own while non respondents do not follow the same distribution of responses.
So any 'poll' is missing data and the missing data is not 'random' which makes any claims that a poll percentage is a true representation of the whole population, survey-able and nonsurvey-able.
Within those willing to be polled, you then have the problem of socially acceptable answers--in many social interactions, people fudge the truth and make their answers 'fit' what they expect the other person wants to hear. 'Values' questions are particularly sensitive to this sort of 'noise'. Classic example, non religious, is that polling repeated overstates those that claim to have voted or will vote. It is because nowadays, someone sensitive to social norms dislikes revealing that they did not vote while society has been pounded with the idea that they must vote.
You also see this problem with post election polling where invariably, a percentage claims falsely voting for the winner when they voted for the loser.

What do you think will happen if democrats get in and abolish drilling and coal? Sunshine and roses? Plus they happily vote in new taxes that raise the gas tax... but they vote for it because it's "for the children."
I can't help these people. They vote against their own interests and then wail when there's consequences to it.

You see, it’s all Republican propaganda, despite the fact that you show, in the verifiable words of Democrats, exactly what they want.
There is as a time when you could compare the parties, surmise they are a few degrees apart and let apathy rule. That time is far in the past. You only need to read what Democrats are proposing.

Look at the working class. No one ever thought they would switch sides. The Democrats abandoned them for the non-working classes.

I suppose it's harder to paint a dog because dogs are expressive and their personality shows on their faces. Much like painting a person. It looks off, if you don't get the character right.
Cats have almost no expression or personality on their blank faces beyond oh..say, a yawn.
That's why their portraits are so often anthropomorphized or given the AI treatment.
A cat is a cat is cat, except for color. So boring.

This is a masterpiece of American landscape painting. It touches geometric abstraction in how the buildings are represented and at the same time are perfectly understood as real objects. The colors are spectacular and ground the scene in a serenity; Edward Hopper went here all the time - this is completely American. This period of American art and photography has become my favorite.

A31-year-old gun-control activist was arrested on Tuesday for allegedly vandalizing the 9/11 Memorial in New York City.
Johnathan Andrew Tijerina is accused of spray-painting the address of his anti-gun website over the engraved names of some of the 2,977 victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, Islamic terrorist attacks.

Propaganda works. If it didn't they wouldn't do it.
What they love more than anything is demoralizing us.
But you know what they love more? Demoralizing their own people. And faking polls before an election could accomplish both. Us before and their own after.
With their own people shattered they get angrier, more disappointed, more miserable.
And our celebration if it happens will be short lived because they just start demoralizing with something else shortly thereafter. Kamala being unstoppable or whatever. And. It. Works.

There's a short promo of Asteroid City, filmed at the outdoor set, with Murray and Jason Schwartzman. No idea why Muray didn't play a bigger role, there was obviously some level of availability (and Anderson talks about how he uses schedules creatively to afford his casts).

People include the House because we remember the ACA repeal bills easily passing the House under Paul Ryan and then suddenly not even being brought to the floor once Trump was president.
The skepticism is historically warranted.
However, Johnson did pass the OBBB which tripled ICE and cut off a bunch of benefits to illegals, which the Senate then passed. So, I suspect that Johnson is different from Ryan.

The donks control the entire apparatus in NYS so they can pretty much do what they want.
Basically Blue states are becoming bluer, red states are becoming redder and since blue states tend to have bigger populations, I think we are starting to tend back to a point where everything is locked in and the donks will have a slight numerical edge going forward.
I fully expect them to whittle down the Cali and NY congressional GOP to next to nothing so, I think they take control of the house.
And since the GOP in many places doesn't want to rock the boat and redistirct, the Donks will have the numerical edge for a while.

That comparing day to day from 2026 early voting to 2024, the county level analysis of voting in Texas is showing that the electorate in Texas today is slightly to the left of what it was in 2024.
In 2024, Cruz won by 9 and Trump won by 14.
So, assume that Paxton wins as many Republicans as Cruz did (only 6% of Republicans voted for Beto in 201

The only time something exceeds that is usually incredible controversy (Mark Robinson in the NC governor's race in 2024, you should have heard the ads using his own words over and over again). And as much as Democrats want Paxton to be like Robinson, he's not.

Anyone reading the Book of Job or viewing the sacrifice of Jesus in the New Testament along with the grisly martyrdom of saints should get the message.
During bad times, I was never tempted to blame the Lord, but instead blamed myself and individuals that were responsible. Prideful individuals though believe their good fortune comes from being good people rather than being humble despite repeated admonitions that one must be humble before the Lord. Even Moses nearly got killed for disobedience and was punished by never being able to enter the Promised Land.
Instead of reading the Bible, I think many of societal elites get their religion from attending services and it is not too popular nowadays for ministers/rabbis/etc to emphasize unpleasant truths in the Bible/Torah. We gloss over the bad things happening documented in the Good Book at our peril. And these even occur to those that the Lord views as his favorites because his plans are not ours.

The Morning Report — 10/29 /26
Several Americans are believed to have been injured in a high-speed train collision that killed at least 68 people in Spain on Wednesday when one train collided with another that had stopped on the tracks. The crash took place in Spain's Castilla-La Mancha, with the regional government confirming the death toll and adding that another 58 people required medical treatment in hospitals. Several Americans are believed to have been hurt in the crash, according to the State Department.Prayers go out for all the victims and their loved ones. Yikes, having traveled extensively in Spain many years ago via their rail system, I can just imagine the carnage. Of course with everything else going on in Spain and Europe vis a vis the violent riots with its roots in Islam and their allies of convenience in and of the Left whose common enemy is Western civilization itself and the possibility of terrorism immediately comes to mind. You may recall the attack in Madrid at the Atocha train station shortly after 9/11 as well as the fact that Spain has been dealing with the terrorist Basque separatist group ETA for decades and so Terrorism cannot be ruled out, unless of course you're the Media channeling the specter of Yasser Arafat correcting that word as Tourism, which no doubt they're doing as we speak sincerely one day later and there's but one link I can find to this story. No doubt the Media and the Left but I repeat myself has its hands full trying to preserve protect and defend the election thievery in Brazil and more importantly run cover for whatever they have planned for next week here in the USA. The mass bloody carnage of a grisly train wreck, what a perfect metaphor... On that note, we have a couple of items that underscore that threat which seems to be solidifying into a very distinct possibility, regionally in several crucial races if not nationally. First up there's this vile Gestapo-like action from the direct descendants of Goebbels and the Gestapo:
Investigative journalists James O’Keefe and Cameron Higby have been hit with felony charges by left-wing Minneapolis prosecutors for their video exposing vulnerable loopholes in Minnesota’s elections. Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty accused conservative media personalities O’Keefe, 42, and Higby, 26, of “try[ing] to sow doubt about Minnesota’s secure voting systems” on Wednesday . . . “Mr. O’Keefe and Mr. Higby filmed themselves and posted the videos to social media to try to sow doubt about Minnesota’s secure voting systems,” a press release from the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office reads.I'm not familiar with Minnesota's state criminal code, so will someone kindly enlighten me to the exact law or laws that these gentlemen broke? I ain't no F. Lee Bailey or Ironsides but I can't seem to find “try[ing] to sow doubt about Minnesota’s secure voting systems” anywhere in my dog-eared copy of "Understanding the Minnesota Criminal Code For Dummies/Dhimmis." Meh, let's not lose our heads over this. They're will be plenty of time for that under Potus El-Sayed and VP Omar! Over the top? You tell me; the battle lines are being drawn, "For What It's Worth?!" That garbage in Mecca-macacasota is bad enough but this next item is murder!
And yet after the DOJ identified illegal voters in Washington state, Gov. Robert Ferguson decided to invoke the National Guard. Gov. Bob Ferguson on Tuesday criticized a federal request that Washington state set aside the ballots of more than 400 voters over citizenship concerns, calling the move “disappointing” a week before Election Day... Department of Homeland Security investigators claim, with a “high level of confidence,” that the voters in question are not U.S. citizens, according to a letter sent to Washington Secretary of State Steve Hobbs... National Guard personnel in plain clothes? What police state nonsense is this.Someone set three ballot drop boxes on fire back in 2024 and destroyed a few hundred ballots. Not sure how unarmed Guardsmen in civies are supposed to stop this. . .These bastards are playing with fire. Meh, we've been saying this since forever and yet the Democrat Party and Leftists have metastasized like a cancer all over the place. Even if we the people of WE THE PEOPLE turn out like never before next week, there's just no way in hell that these bastards are going to allow their power to be denuded if they can help it? But it raises a broader and more serious point that we touched upon in the latest episode of the podcast (linked here) as well as in the sidebar and on the popular outlets listed at the bottom of this post. Western Civilization and arguably its high water mark the American Revolution and the Republic it spawned are on a knife edge of being destroyed. So, my fear is that we can vote for Donald Trumps all up and down the line all for election after election And Make No Mistake, we Must!!! but at what point will voting harder and harder and harder just not cut the mustard?! Horrid as the prior two stories are, we have already witnessed and lived through many more since before Trump descended the golden Trump Tower escalator 11 years ago now? So Psaki-Psircling back to the podcast, when do we the people of WE THE PEOPLE dare "take arms against a sea of troubles?" and as I pondered (not necessarily weak and weary) is resorting to the tactics, specifically the violence (albeit in true self defense) of our enemies, who as we have seen are in every sense of the word mortal enemies, isn't the negation of the very things we are trying to preserve? The Democrat Party and Leftism must be completely removed from every position of power and influence in and out of government and society at large and never be permitted to rise again. We must fight evil remorselessly and relentlessly lest it once again rise to hold a rusty hacksaw to our neck! It's us or them. And that's the plain unvarnished truth, like it or not. And so with that bitter pill I nevertheless bid you all to have a good day.

Several Americans are believed to have been injured in a high-speed train collision that killed at least 68 people in Spain on Wednesday when one train collided with another that had stopped on the tracks.

I still don't want to, but it seems they won't stop what they're doing until somebody does something against them.
People who believe in a good higher power aren't usually going around murdering others because of how they vote. Those who don't seem to have no qualms about it because they think nothing will happen to them after they've passed, will do it if they think there's a benefit to to them.

I noticed a strange thing yesterday… MN senate race. All recent polls had Tafoya within a few percentage points of Flanagan. Then… poof, a poll comes out showing Flanagan ahead 54-40… and of course RCP includes this poll in their average even though it’s a way-out-there outlier. It reminded me of that Des Moines register poll late in 2024 that showed Trump losing Iowa.

“Army Lieutenant General Brett Sylvia, who was part of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was fired by Secretary Hegseth for severe misconduct. . .
Sylvia is the subject of an investigation for leaking classified information about the Iran War, the war between Russia and Ukraine, and more. Due to the Pentagon’s media policy requiring journalists to have escorts in the building, Sylvia began meeting with journalists outside of the Pentagon in order to leak classified information.
Sylvia failed three polygraphs which questioned him about leaking classified information. The investigation into him remains ongoing and has been referred to the Department of Justice for further action. The extent of his leaking became so critical that Secretary Hegseth took immediate action and fired Sylvia in order to protect national security. Urgent action was needed and could not wait another second.”

Just moments ago, a notice to Garmin InReach users saying that the SMS messages will no longer go out with a click-able link to the message location, rather just a lat/long and the recipient is expected to cut and paste that coordinate into their favorite mapping software.
Garmin InReach is a service where a Garmin sports enthusiast, when doing an activity that involves a changing location as a key element of the activity, can provide a way for the SMS message recipient to track the athlete in near real-time.
The map-link version went to a map where the location was dynamic (sort of like Glympse) and provided things like heart-rate, pace, etc. It also reports incidents like crashing.
This is useful in a low-trust society as riding a bicycle exposes one to getting murdered by shit-head motorists. The map would show me stopped with a 0 BPM heart rate.
They stopped the link provision for US customers because of Carrier/A2P anti-spam compliance and SMS aggregator requirements.

@Milajoy BREAKING:
Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy just ordered a CRIMINAL investigation into Mary Peltola's Senate campaign, CNN reports.
It follows the NYT report that Peltola-aligned operatives recruited spoiler candidates, including one with the SAME last name as Sen. Dan Sullivan, to peel votes from him.
- - - -
Marc Elias's name just landed in the "second Dan Sullivan" scandal.
The New York Times reports that Peltola aides, DSCC staffers and the CAMPAIGN'S LAWYERS helped push a retired teacher named Daniel J. Sullivan to run against Sen. Dan Sullivan.
Peltola's lawyers in Alaska?
Elias Law Group, which is now fighting Trump's DOJ to make sure the result gets certified.
Mark Halperin says Elias's firm was involved in the search. That's his claim, and the firm didn't respond to Reuters.

Even little old me has a concealed permit, and my pistol of choice was Sig's P238. I'm always with Mr. Black so I've never felt the need to actually carry it though. If he were gone, I certainly would.
And in SC, you can full-on carry your weapon unconcealed thanks to a lawsuit brought about against some Karen who complained about being "scared and uncomfortable" when she saw some man's weapon under his shirt when he reached for something in a store. Thanks to that dumb broad, we can now carry unconcealed firearms. I hope it made her cry and "literally shake."

So what was the reaction of the pro-corrupt election crowd to my post on X? Democracy Docket and its principal, Elias, screamed that I had called for Lutnick to “seize the voting machines.” The next day, Elias and Stuart Stevens, Mitt Romney’s former chief strategist, publicly declared that I should be indicted on RICO charges because of my X post on this topic.
Media Matters included my comments in its article headlined “Election Denial Movement Sets Stage for Chaos on Election Day and its Aftermath.”
What is wrong with these people?
Why are they opposed to taking steps to protect against potential manipulation or exploitation of electronic voting machines? I have never said, nor do I believe, that anyone should “seize” the voting machines — or inspect any parts. I merely reiterated the mitigation plan that DHS outlined earlier this year.
Marc Elias is screaming at others in hopes of deflecting from his career in subverting our elections. May the Alaska investigation into his latest activities there be successful.

"no real need". True, but is trying to ignore the 800# gorilla.
Mimetic Theory.
The proven idea that most people don't know what they desire and obtain those desires through external sources. Generally, we are social creatures and need of affirmation and peer approval. Thus arise cultures because influencers implant desires. This is how gold teeth and spinner rims become Must Haves in some communities.
Madison Avenue and spam would not be effective if Mimetic Theory was not true. Propaganda works. Marketing works. How else do people eat shitty fast food unless smiling happy people implant the idea that you need to kill yourself with poor diet?
So yes, polls are extremely effective in implanting certain desires in a very large majority of people.

It's very well thought out.

FIIIIIIINE. I want a Democrat Party that's not insane. I want a Democrat Party that doesn't make it easy for Republican candidates to go "Hey, you're not going vote for insanity are you?" as their sole platform and not deliver on promises that make my life and the nation better cuz well, hell, the Democrats are crazy, mentally unbalanced, loco in the coco.
I'll never vote Democrat because their basic ideas of governance are incorrect at best. But, what I'dd like is two parties fighting hard for the middle.
That means the Democrats have to embrace the Constitution and not Marx or faggy French philosp[hical retards.

I will vote. I will encourage people I know to vote. I will put up "Vote Republican" or "Have Democrats ever lowered taxes?! " sorts of signs ion my lawn, which already has Republican candidate signs. Morning after morning of black pulling and "It's all over " comments will not change that. I will pray - a lot . . I'm out for the day, unless there's something cool on the art thread. I think the ace and cobs for their contributions. I fell unable to deal right now with relentless negativity and trolls ( AOS cope and Paul ) who chase people around and push polls designed to stop Republicans or conservatives from voting.

These polls have him winning independents by like 60% and that over 14% of Rs are flipping over.
This, in a state Trump won by over 14% just 2 years ago.
But they justify this by nationally Trump approval is in the 30s and Talarico has mid-50s approval.
None of them poll Trump's approval among Texas Republicans....

Minor point: the problem is Arabs - mostly Muslim but also Christian.

But the toothpaste is never going back in the tube.
They got away with pretending to be reasonable and sane while beating the hell out of the country and looting it, for years and years, particularly from 2006 on. The beatings were always going to get worse and they were always going to wear the mask of beauty and love.
But then Trump came along and forced the rats into the light and they had no choice but to claim the mantle. I just hope no one thinks what the Left is doing, abusing, jailing, killing their enemies is some kind of "response" to Trump. The only thing that's really a response, is them deciding to own it now. It was their only play. But the idea of a party that is gonna go back to centrism and reasonability, forget it.

I guarantee he was involved.
Since 2019, he and his firm have been a clearinghouse, a central hub for coordinating all the lawfare against Trump.
They have also been the back-channel work-around that judges, Dem lawyers and Dem prosecutors have been using to avoid ex-parte communication ethical violations.
This is also how these judges always seem to be miraculously available and instantly ready to issue orders blocking Trump.
And yes, he'll be indicted by the FL grand jury after the midterms--he's been a key player in the coup, every step of the way.
Seizing his electronic communications will be a full confession and indict the entire Dem Party.
He thinks he's smart when he's just a cheater who's been protected.

There are simply not enough Democrats in Texas to overcome the tidal wave already cresting in late early voting and will overwhelm them on election day.
Democrats have burned through their most loyal voters already, and they're losing ground every day despite getting some kind of early lead.
Republicans vote more on election day than Democrats do. It's been that way for like a decade or longer depending on the state and how long they've done early voting.

Neither did we. My elementary school was built in sections, 1907, 1910, and 1930. Beginning in 1955, we went on a spit session due to all the new housing construction, along with the new GSP that brought families in from the cities...Newark, Irvington, Jersey City, etc. Finally, in 1959, 5 new schools were built including 3 Junior high schools in the township. In 1964 a new HS opened as well. Our graduating class in 1966, if we all attended the same HS, would have consisted of over 1100 students!

Former President Obama criticized President Trump’s war with Iran while campaigning for Democrats in Georgia on Wednesday, less than a week before the midterm elections.
“This happens to be something I know a little bit about,” Obama said. “I didn’t fire any missiles, I engaged in diplomacy.”
The war with Iran, which began in February, has cost the U.S. military at least $47.1 billion as of mid-October, according to a new estimate from U.S. Central Command obtained by CBS News.

I am willing to pay a lot more for eggs. I love the orange yolks (unwashed eggs) I get at the local farmers market.
We barely use 2 dozen per month, so paying up is not a problem.

The convoy was a wedding procession transporting the bride to the village of the groom. As it stopped for a vehicle with a flat tire, four missiles were launched at a Toyota Hilux carrying three people, who had escaped before the missiles struck.

"Investigative journalists James O’Keefe and Cameron Higby have been hit with felony charges by left-wing Minneapolis prosecutors for their video exposing vulnerable loopholes in Minnesota’s elections."
Seems to tie into the abundance of 'news,' nationally and locally, of PDT (administration) & possible interference with the mid-term elections elections.
A few examples: 'Inside the DOJ's Unlawful Push to Interfere in the 2026 ...'; "The New Worst-Case Scenario for Election Officials: Federal Interference” and "Trump Appointees Asked a Federal Cybersecurity Agency to Secretly Acquire A Voting Machine - and Hack It.'
And online alerts: Trump appointees - unnamed, stationed at DHS - asked cybersecurity agency to SECRETLY HACK voting machine ahead of midterms, and the results of the secret hack were to be passed directly back to the White House.
Did it happen? Reportedly, DHS and CISA declined to deny the event and the White House issued a broad statement defending the President's overall record.
So what? Trump is the head of the Executive Branch of the Federal Government and CISA has only been strengthened over recent years.
Posted by: L - No nic... at October 29, 2026 11:11 AM (NFX2v)
It's much stronger & more legally empowered than it was at its inception in 2018, and has a newly released 4 year roadmap.
But for some who've formerly worked for or with CISA's election teams in past years, election interference is always possible 'cause Trump & DOGE.
By mid-2025, nearly 1,000 CISA employees, roughly one-third of the agency’s workforce, had left or been removed from active service. True.
However, CISA relied on massive networks of federal contractors to handle everything from soup to nuts. They were rarely based in D.C., often working remotely from home and/or at regional tech hubs nationwide. When congressional watchdogs & agency defenders complain
Posted by: L - No nic... at October 29, 2026 11:11 AM (NFX2v)
The President leads the Executive Branch and is the only executive official elected by the entire nation. The elected position has authority to redirect agencies like CISA if/when it's believed the agency is overreaching or misallocating taxpayer resources. (Restructure departments, reallocate budgets, place officials on leave when necessary to align with the administration's goals.)
Former career officials & state administrators argue for an independent bureaucracy when it comes to national security & law enforcement.
State officials point to the Constitution which gives states the primary authority of managing elections. To them, Federal agencies exist to support them as partners, thus requiring "voluntary trust" on all sides.
And for all times, sour grapes towards PDT, Elon Musk & all not in step.

You could build little space stations that collect all the junk, then bring it all to an orbital recycling station, and refine it back into components that could be used to build and repair other orbital vehicles without needing to bring new material up from Earth.
Eh, who am I kidding. They'd just pretend they're recycling it and then throw it out anyway.

Starship uses methane and liquid oxygen. The plan is to have tankers in orbit to fuel trips to the moon. If water (ice deposits) is found to be abundant, production of liquid oxygen will be much easier than shipping it to the moon. Half of the production of fuel for missions to Mars would be solved.

Yes, yes, thousands of years, blah de blah, but as a State they've only existed for a few generations. They can't continue on the trajectory they're on, and their perverse lazy idiot version of smash and grab authoritarianism, which frankly is infecting the entire world again these days, has proven time and time again to be less than helpful for a nation's longevity. The State can't change without ceding the fragile, fake, fear-based pseudo-legitimacy it still has, so it can't adapt. Which means, it will inevitably die.
So hopefully we only have to deal with the crooked little bastards shitting up our orbit for a few more generations.

The key to good propaganda is that it has some kernel of truth to it, and it's the skillful sleight of hand that bends that truth into a lie that's perceived as truth. (Heck, in some cases the point of propaganda is to replace an easy lie with a difficult truth... but that's not my point here)

The worst are when the entire review process is handled like all the engineers are working in the marketing department .. they give you the objectives of the marketing department and tell you to evaluate yourself based on metrics like company ROI.
Others will express their support (or lack thereof) thru the stock grant program. When you have to be in the top level to get a promotion, it pretty much signals when you might want to be ready to find the door.

This is the problem with the Yankees. Their team is built around two pillars: hitting home runs and striking opponents out. If they can't do that, they can't hit for contact, move from station to station, run the bases or field the ball.

Inverter generator, which doesn't run at 3600RPM ALL THE TIME, of that class 1-2 gallons per hour. Some people use/store ethanol free gasoline since ethanol destroys small engines and their fuel lines. So what? $4/gallon? 24 hours, not doing laundry, not doing dishes, not taking long showers, not running the A/C—unless its a variable speed, LED lighting...
Still going to be a whole lot more expensive than a utility bill on a per/day basis, but yes, cheaper than an EV truck.

Welcome to the Wednesday night ONT which means another edition of random overnight fun and games. Pull up a chair and join the fun. Good will offerings of amusing puns are encouraged.

[Top photo: Half price pumpkins before Halloween at Home Depot? Sign of the end times for sure.]1) Reese's Pieces - after Mars turned down the product placement opportunity for M&Ms, ET made Reece's Pieces famous in the 1982 film. They had only been introduced in 1978. The candy color mix is reportedly a mix of orange (50%), brown (25%), and yellow (25%). 2) Reese's Peanut Butter Cups - these consistently rank at or near the top by sales volume and revenue. They are the top candy by ounces sold and the top seller in 40 of 51 states plus Washington, D.C. Pretty good for a candy that was created in 1928. Remember the famous commercial: "You got chocolate in my peanut butter!/ You got peanut butter in my chocolate!"

Apparently, this is an organized crime issue. And, they use stolen Hyundai's because they don't have an engine immobilizer (thus a walk in the park to steal).

I'd already bought candy: special stuff for the boys, plus a bag of mixed goodies for anyone else that may show up.
So, I bagged a bunch of it and took over to the mom today. She said the boys were slightly bummed about missing out on candy, although they were excited to go hunting, and will doubtless appreciate the treats.
Wonderful neighbors. Great people.

One year, he asked for a peanut butter cup.
I found a recipe, and a false bottom shallow scalloped edge pan and made one. Melted good chocolate, made my own peanut butter cream. It was awesome. And quite large. Suffice to say, it was enough for the party.

We used to give out normal size bars and a huge bowlful or two. Very popular. I got tired of kids taller than me showing up with a lame pillowcase. Plus kids and parents driving up the mountain for the good stuff. We are done.
Most of the kids on the street are older now and we are bah humbug. Turn our porch light out and hide with most of the lights off watching tv til 8pm.
We do give stuff to our grands as we love them...not much candy, though as they get tons trick or treating.
It's been awhile since Halloween was on a Saturday. This one will be rocking! I remember one in college and always, always a kegger and total insanity. No one died, dropped a pitcher of beer, or harfed at my keggers. I don't know how but it's true.
I don't put out our fall wreaths til Nov. 1st due to the potential thug issue being mad at me for not answering the doorbell. We did our part for a decade, plus 30yrs in FL, and are retired from stranger's children.

Although Brazil's presidential election took place more than 4,000 miles away, the baseless conspiracy theory that it was stolen raced through the American right-wing media.
------
Does NOBODY at NBC have ANY journalistic integrity? Lol, yeah I know--that made you laugh! Just the same, let's explore the errors in this less-than-100-characters tweet:
* "Although Brazil's presidential election took place more than 4,000 miles away...": You're NBC FRICKING NEWS--are you pretending that your entire organization can't perform accurate and detailed research regarding something "more than 4,000 miles away"? What the hell? From AI:
AI Overview
The longest road distance between two cities/points in the contiguous (continental) United States stretches approximately 3,689 miles...
So NBC basically says that if it didn't take place in the continental United States that THEY aren't competent to report on it and nobody else can either???
* "...the baseless conspiracy theory that it was stolen raced through the American right-wing media". How could a story that isn't even 36 hours old be declared "baseless" by a supposed media outlet?

A friend in junior high got a Reese's Peanut Butter cup with a worm in it and I haven't eaten one since. She also used to buy a packet of peanuts to put in her Coke. I never figured that out. I got a Coke and chips.
A junor high or HS kid ran the place behind a half door and were fine, upstanding students, unlike me.
Special Ed shared the junior high bldg with us, which made it more exciting.
One guy who had googly eyes rode the school bus with us. Older and pervy. Lived on a chicken farm and often had chicken poop on his arm on the bus, which was hideous.
My friend's older college brother drove one year and Charles had to sit on the front seat behind the driver. He still tried to look up our dresses and we'd yell at Jimmy (driver) and he'd wearily tell Charles to turn around. It was hard to tell which eyeball was actually looking cause they rolled around.
I'm sorry this tangented out of the candy bar discussion. Reese's cups brought the memories back.

In Japan Kobe (and not just that city) has amazing confectionery companies, usually with German or Russian names. European-style chocolate with Japanese precision and packaging. See's Candy is a big hit there because it's a very different chocolate recipe than Belgian, French or Italian, and of course because it's American, and hard to get. Always the standard gift when visiting.

"The Big 12's conduct policy at athletic events will now include an automatic minimum $100,000 fine and a warning after a first confirmed incident. A second incident at the same game will result in an in-game penalty, such as a 15-yard unsportsmanlike penalty in football or a two-shot technical foul in basketball."
How stupid. We're now affecting the outcome of an athletic event because 1 or 10 or 100 people in the crowd want to shout something that was the not-polite equivalent of "Screw the Mormans"? Really, are entire athletic departments supposed to be on alert about what their crowds might chant?
I can't wait to the completely-unpredictable outcome where a berth in the college football playoffs is more or less determined because 25 college kids chanted something and a penalty or foul was called.

Don't know. Japan I think just has one store in Tokyo.
Just before I left the east coast for 'splodier climes, See's had started to rent empty mall store space and have stores open from Black Friday to Christmas. Just pre-packed boxes, not choose-your-own. Imagine they did pretty well. And airports in the west used to have See's kiosks.
The See's factory in SF is near the airport, and even closer to the national cemetery. Some time I'm going to drop by that location on the way to see Nimitz's grave at the cemetery (and Turner's, and Spruance's, and Lockwood's, I think, all together).
Stopped by that factory on a ski trip once and saw a tanker (spotless) pull up and connect a hose to the huge "Milk Chocolate" connection out front.

Do kids actually like Necco wafers? I always considered them a poor kid candy...and I loved them! Yep. I was a poor kid...😙
Posted by: COMountainMarie
===============
It's funny, half the candy I pretended to like as a kid, I actually didn't. I ate it because it was frowned upon.
Necco Wafers we played Holy Communion with. Any other Catholic schoolers?

You are a sweetheart. For some shifts in hospitals that might serve as dinner for most of the staff.
In the ED someone would make popcorn, put it in a bedpan in a kitchen, and we'd go to town as we passed by. I always liked the vessel chosen.
If an ED doc bought pizza on a horrible night we were like honeybadgers. There was no time for dinner as it was that insane. I look back now and honestly don't know how we did it. I'd still trust any of them with my life or those I loved. It was a great experience for five years and I was honored to be a part of that group. Some saw me years later and about knocked me down with hugs when I appeared to say hi.
It's possibly a little known fact for many that nurses sometimes used to forget to pee it can be so busy til the end of the shift. Bladders? What are they?

In Ontario (yes, I know, Canada, but bear with me), the Laura Secord chain of candy shops sells something called "almond bark", which is a slab of white chocolate with lots of almonds embedded in it. If you're a fan of white chocolate, like I am (which of course makes me a racist), almond bark is outstanding: I have to stay away from it, or I'll eat myself sick.
And I have to mention my wife, the lovely and accomplished Annalucia, who makes a version of almond joys but with dark rather than milk chocolate. Outstanding! But available only to our friends and family.

The BREWERS won the World Series. "The Brewers" are interpreted by the general public to be the 25 players on the World Series roster, their head coach, and...maybe...another coach or two. None of us give a crap about who owns that team.

I yelled for my dude, no answer. He had my phone downstairs doing something to it so I had no phone nearby like I usually do.
Our house is very big and you can't hear each other, even on the same floor as the walls or thick (I guess). I threw on my nightgown to go find him, thinking he was outside. About that time he wandered inside with me yelling on the deck.
He'd gone out to check his tomatoes, without his phone, & didn't turn off the burglar alarm. I started getting texts from the alarm company *just* before they called the law. I wanted to kill him and tell the alarm people, yes, come get him as he's burgled my brain this morning.
I guess he sashayed outside completely oblivious. Which he's never done before. He was apparently downstairs in the basement & had to see his tomatoes while I was upstairs. He may soon have a leash if this happens again.
The police would have arrived to see me po'd in my nightgown with wet hair & him yammering about his tomatoes.

Banana Ball is the way to sort out who *really* likes excellence in a sport versus those that aren't that selective. Its akin to those people who a decade ago pretended to like women's basketball rather than any of the men's versions--"they just try so hard".
Yeah, and its *terrible*. The best baseball in the world takes place in the Major Leagues, even if their owners and commissioners are absolutely clueless.

We had a brief spat about it all. He, of course, said he's never done this before. I then said we (the royal we) should always have our phones with us in the ancient of days. Because you can't hear in this house even if yelling. Which is nice except if you need someone.Then we got over it.
I woke to a text from my bro that our 95yr old mother was going to not need sitters once she's home from rehab and the glue repair of a fractured lumbar vertebra. Her royal decree. She's alert and was living independently. I said, nope to this. A case manager also said nope and that was a relief as she will have sitters the rest of her life at home.
Then the talking alarm just about did me in.
I told my dermatologist that her visit was the highlight of my day. She and staff love me. Which may have been why she told me I don't look my age.

I nearly got in trouble last week for talking to someone's cat. I ride my bike over the same 12 mile route about 3 times a week. I always carry dog and cat treats and have some steady customers when they are outside. The owners are fine with it. There's a pretty tuxedo cat who was always skittish and would run when I got close, but this time it was laying out by the end of her driveway and I stopped to talk to it and see if it wanted a treat. I was in the road and not on the property. Just then the lady of the house drives up with a scowl on her face saying, "Are you looking for me?" I kind of laughed and said no, I was talking to your cat. I could tell she didn't believe me and I wonder just who she is hiding from. Awkward and weird, but amusing.

So If I'm following right, it isn't producing enough voltage during cranking to power the ignition. We have those problems with certain hot rodded harley engines with big compression. Most of the ignitions won't power up below 9 volts, and with bigger compression the starter will draw the battery below the 9 volt mark and they don't fire. There was a device we used to wire in that had two 9 volt batteries in parallel so the ignition always had the voltage needed. That came out with better cures since then. Now we use a relay that applies battery voltage right to the ignition during cranking. Did you figure out why its only producing 1/4 volt during cranking?

Because the force cranking it is my left elbow? It's a permanent-magnet alternator, like you find under the flywheel of a Japanese single motorcycle. There is no regulation at all, and like any dynamo, voltage output is a function of RPM. I'm using a GM HEI module as my spark controller, and they are designed to run off a 12 volt battery. There is another winding, called the "exciter winding" that puts out 3 to 5 volts AC at cranking speed, but I really doubt there would be enough current to run the HEI if I used a transformer to step it up to 12 volts.
But the little puppy runs nice and quiet.

Key on, ultracap charges up, ignition module sees 12.6 volts. Crank engine, voltage sags, but ultracap maintains 12.6 volts to module. If engine fails to start on first go-round, ultracap recharges in a few seconds with key on.
Downside? Shut key off, engine continues to run for 5 seconds until ultracap is discharged. Adding a relay would solve that.

Some presenters at YouTube will modify songs to suit themselves.
Rarely do their enhancements improve the original.
On some albums they will mislabel the event, personnel, include wrong album cover. Some of this is ignorance the other, juvenile malice.

Mail in ballots are the cheat.
The fucking mail system is older than the country. Wonder why the founding fathers didn't go "Hey. We should write mail in voting into the constitution".
I personally think the post office in some areas is in on the cheat.

I very vulnerable to "nerd sniping", a term I only recently stumbled on, and it comes from the xkcd comic. Throw some deep problem (math, physics, etc) at a nerd, and he stops what he's doing, becomes totally distracted, and obsesses over the problem.
Apparently that has real life inspiration. Some mathematician was posed some question and he just stopped and started thinking about it, and nearly got run over in traffic.

She's still a global warming enthusiast and thoroughly a product of the Left Wing campus environment. However, she seems to actually be able to do math which doesn't lend itself to the Narrative. She may have been red pilled by some e mail she got from a colleague urging her to shut up because whatever she was saying wasn't helpful. She made a video about it. It's kind of a crazy video, I'll see if I can find a link.

could understand?
Simply connected means in a space, you can shrink a closed loop down to a point without hitting anything. Non simply connected, you can't. Well, I don't know how rigorous that definition is, but that's the gist of it.
Now imagine the surface of a donut, a torus. Imagine a loop going around the outside surface. You can't shrink it down to a point. And imagine another loop on the very inside, going around the hole. You can't shrink that down.
There are other loops you can make that you can't shrink down, but many loops you can't.
The topology prevents that loop from contracting. This has profound constraints on the way physics fields can work on that space.

I first saw that "nerd sniping" thing with something about the "chain fountain" behavior (look that up, it's mind blowing).
There was some disagreement on some of the nitty-gritty of what was going on, just how the forces worked. That could be settled by doing some experiments with little chains in zero-g.
They got Don Pettit to do it aboard the ISS on his last stint, and succeeded because he was a sucker for nerd sniping.

That got me. LOL. But I cheated and looked it up. The exact solution to that is the equivalent resistance is (4/pi - 1/2).
And this is the discrete equivalent of the capacitance/resistance of a continuous medium, which Laplace's equation governs. It has nice solutions in 3D, well-behaved and allows for a "resistance to a ground plane at infinity" to be defined. The notion of "resistance to ground" of a ground rod is just this, approximating the earth as a infinite conducting medium.
Howeve, it 2D, because of the way Laplace's equation works, that thing diverges at infinity. The resistance between two points is finite, but the resistance to ground is infinite in 2D. In 3D it's finite as well.

Could have been katakana? That's sort of angular and pointy like kanji, and it's used to "spell" foreign loan words and names. Or maybe it's some weird self-made mash-up of the sound-reading of each kanji that vaguely resembles the guy's name? That would be super weird though.

That drunk man vs drunk bird thing is the "random walk" problem (which is related to diffusion). You start out at a point. You take a step of some finite distance, just say 1 unit in a random direction. And you keep doing that with each step. One unit is random direction. That models a drunk.
Now, ask the question. What is the probability that the drunk will get to some destination point? That is, if he starts out at point A, will he ever get to point B? For 1 and 2 dimensions, that probability is 100%. It may take a loooongg time, infinite in fact, but it's certain the drunk will get to any other chosen point in the space.
Now, for 3D and higher, that probability drops off. In 3D space, the probability, even after an infinite number of steps of getting to point B is only 1/3.
And all that is the same problem as the infinite grid of resistors.

A man knocked down a basement wall, finding a 2,000-year-old underground city
Chasing his chickens through a hole in his basement during renovations came across an abandoned underground city that once housed 20,000 people The ancient city of Elengubu, known today as Derinkuyu https://t.co/0y5SxlSUP9— Massimo (@Rainmaker1973) October 28, 2026
More than 85m beneath the famous fairy chimneys of Cappadocia lies a massive subterranean city that was in near-constant use for thousands of years.
Violent gusts whipped loose soil into the air as I hiked through Cappadocia's Love Valley. Pink- and yellow-hued hillsides coloured the rolling landscape scarred with deep red canyons, and chimneystack rock formations loomed in the distance. It was arid, hot, windy and devastatingly beautiful. Millennia ago, this volatile, volcanic environment naturally sculpted the spires surrounding me into their conical, mushroom-capped shapes, which now draw millions of visitors to hike or hot-air balloon in the central Turkish region. But beneath Cappadocia's crumbling surface, a marvel of equally gargantuan proportions lay hidden away for centuries; a subterranean city that could conceal the whereabouts of up to 20,000 inhabitants for months at a time. The ancient city of Elengubu, known today as Derinkuyu, burrows more than 85m below the Earth's surface, encompassing 18 levels of tunnels. The largest excavated underground city in the world, it was in near-constant use for thousands of years, changing hands from the Phrygians to the Persians to the Christians of the Byzantine Era. It was finally abandoned in the 1920s by the Cappadocian Greeks when they faced defeat during the Greco-Turkish war and fled abruptly en masse to Greece. Not only do its cave-like rooms stretch on for hundreds of miles, but it's thought the more than 200 small, separate underground cities that have also been discovered in the region may be connected to these tunnels, creating a massive subterranean network. According to my guide, Suleman, Derinkuyu was only "rediscovered" in 1963 by an anonymous local who kept losing his chickens. While he was renovating his home, the poultry would disappear into a small crevasse created during the remodel, never to be seen again. Upon closer investigation and some digging, the Turk unearthed a dark passageway. It was the first of more than 600 entrances found within private homes leading to the subterrestrial city of Derinkuyu.

BREAKING: Colleague @davidspunt reports via two sources familiar that there is an ongoing DOJ "aggressive criminal investigation" into Daniel J. Sullivan appearing on the ballot for US Senate in Alaska, and the investigation has intensified in the wake of the bombshell NYT report today.
DOJ sources tell David that multiple grand jury subpoenas will be issued in the coming hours and days, and there are preservation orders to cell phone companies that are being prepared regarding text messages and emails that may build a timeline for how Daniel J. Sullivan was placed on the ballot.
The investigation is being handled by the U.S. Attorney's Office in Alaska and federal prosecutors are interested in potential charges relating to the depravation of rights of Alaska voters. The investigation is expected to go beyond Election Day and has been underway for several months.

Derinkuyu was only "rediscovered" in 1963 by an anonymous local who kept losing his chickens. While he was renovating his home, the poultry would disappear into a small crevasse created during the remodel, never to be seen again.

Lawyer-client privilege. Democrats use law firms to hide dirty political jobs. Reason why Marc Elias worked at Perkins Cooie before they parted ways. Perkins Cooie reported had its own SCIF where Democrat operatives who were also contractors for the FBI used NSA and other classified databases to spy on GOP members of Congress, GOP political operatives, donors etc.
Smith took it a step further during his quest to put Trump in jail and included even people buying MAGA hats and small time donors number thousands of people.
Democrats are basically using national security databases to spy on GOP and anyone getting in their way. And corrupt pieces of shit GOPe operatives like former senator from NC Richard Burr knew this (Senate intel chair and ranking member before retiring). Burr kept quiet because he used similar data to get his family generational wealth through trading and investments.

nope, seattle. and that's a fact. Seattle was prone to flooding so they re-graded the city and buried the first two (?) floors of buildings under fill and made the old third story "street level."
It doesn't look like it does in the TV movie, though. That's just a set.

We know Maxwell was also an intel asset for at least two spy agencies, mebbe three. CIA and MI-6 used him and his academic publishing company as a conduit to Leonid Brezhnev as Maxwell published some of Brezhnev's writings and as a result Maxwell got to spend alone time with him.
Given his state funeral in Israel attended by high ranking officials of Israel after his death, would not be surprised that he was a Mossad asset on occasion as well.
Ghislaine is just the type that would slide into Maxwell's role.
The Murdoch family probably also has intel ties. Rupert had a Hong Kong wife, Wendi Deng, at one time, had Saudi Prince bin Talal as a major silent investor, and Mick Jagger's ex Jerry Hall among others. Now married to a former Russian. Dumped a fiance in between hall and the Russian due to the fiance being a strong Christian which gave Rupert heebie jeebies.

Translated from Hebrew
Likud:
The elections in the State of Israel were stolen by Arab parties that support terrorism and the elimination of the Jewish state through serious criminal offenses of bribery, threats, violence, forgeries, and the use of prohibited software to mobilize voters.
The Likud party is transferring to the police, the Shin Bet, and the
Central Elections Committee hundreds of testimonies and pieces of evidence
envelopes with cash and Ra'am slips, threats and violence against polling station members, multiple voting behind the curtain, voting with double identities, discrepancies between the number of envelopes and the number of voters, the use of prohibited mobilization software, and more.
We demand from the police and the Shin Bet a thorough investigation into the election theft by the Arab parties and the full prosecution of the criminals.
We demand from the Central Elections Committee an immediate response to investigate these criminal offenses that have severely damaged the integrity of the elections in Israel and the election results.

Thanks Braenyard, meant to post that Bibi statement. It's pretty strong and specific by Israeli standards. Reports that Israeli intel/LE tracking down the source of the payments. Not entirely clear on Bibi's implication here. Most Arab Israelis vote for Arab parties, historically. So he either means bribed to vote, period, or bribed to vote for one particular Arab party.
Think preliminary estimate for turnout was in high 70s%.

A question left open pretty intentionally by the Druze themselves. Pretty rational approach over the centuries of various sects over-running the area. In Israel the Druze are well integrated some of the few Arabs who serve in police and IDF. Bibi made a fairly explicit public security guarantee to the Druze of southern Syria - who often demonstrate with Israeli flags and portraits of Bibi. Obviously there's zero trust, or should we say an abundance of caution, with regard to the new Syrian regime.
Bedouin Arabs also serve in the IDF. Some of the Israeli heroes of 10/7 were Druze and Bedouin.

*****************************
The Druze speak Arabic and follow a variant of Islam, but they're always categorized separately from Arabs. Unfortunately for them, they're few in number and scattered across Lebanon, Israel, and Syria. In Israel, the Druze are about 2% of the population and participate fully in society, even being subject to the draft at the request of their community (made sometime in the '50s, IIRC).

PLUS I had a suprise nap during a TV show, upright and normal. Just dropped off the planet. Dude had to say my name a few times. I reckon the month's long insomnia has reached the peak and I will start having narcolepsy.
I was thinking this when lyft Rashad picked me up...
Have read at least twice about young girls getting into a car alone with a strange man, thinking he was their lyft or uber driver.
I have to assme they both were totally inebriated. Both guys said my name after they rolled down the rearview mirror. You get notification with a photo of the car, etc.
A real stupid way to die,girls.
I'll bet ole Rashad is still mad at me as his ego seemed fragile. At least he did not go snack bar on me or drive to another state. I told my husband about the 40min hwy tale he told me (the first guy got me there in 17min going my shortcuts). I may be blonde but I ain't stoopit.
I went along with it as wth, I'm not in danger yet and started reading.
I did like when he said, "I am an expert driver" like Rain Man. I didn't laugh.

You joke about transgenders, but these are human beings. What is more important? The most vulnerable, hopeless people, confused people, are being told to castrate themselves, mutilate themselves.
Why do you think only old people care about that? Do you have any children? Can you have any children? Imagine your only child being brainwashed into self-castration and eliminating the joy of being a parent and you becoming a grandparent? Is that not an existential level of evil?

Do know that there should be no software or electronics of any kind involved with the voting process. At most, electro-mechanical card readers. Paper ballots. Hand counts (except for the case just mentioned).
There is literally no reason or defense for electronics involved in the voting process (possibly in checking registrations or IDs, but not in the voting or tabulation itself). It's one of the most absurd and pernicious indefensible things in the world today, which is a high bar.

And by "real Islam" I mean "closer to the Christian heresy that became Islam" than the present version, which went through a major revision and burning of books to clean everything up.

Have no idea what the software bit is about.
Do know that there should be no software or electronics of any kind involved with the voting process. At most, electro-mechanical card readers. Paper ballots. Hand counts (except for the case just mentioned).
There is literally no reason or defense for electronics involved in the voting process (possibly in checking registrations or IDs, but not in the voting or tabulation itself). It's one of the most absurd and pernicious indefensible things in the world today, which is a high bar.

Here are some allegations: " cash-filled envelopes containing Ra'am ballot slips, threats and violence against polling station staff, multiple voting, voting under different identities, and discrepancies between the number of envelopes and the number of voters"...so just like Detroit, Chicago, or LA...peak Democracy! I guess they might have laws agains certain type of computerized electioneering, like we have against certain type of electioneering at polling stations. I guess we shall see!

Recall (well, it's a closely held secret, if you quizzed the country) that the initial final result announced by the FL SecState election night *was in fact the correct result*. Subsequent independent recounts confirmed this.
Those kinds of machines can be checked and calibrated without limit. Their accuracy can be checked constantly. Their results cannot be altered electronically.
One of the things that made the FL case a fiasco, and which ultimately led to SCOTUS shutting it all down, was the ridiculous idea of "curing" or figuring out voter intent. Nope. Never. The fucking voter has 100% responsibility to vote properly. Period. Election officials aren't even clerks, they're automatons. Any unclear or improperly marked/punched ballot is either void in its entirety, or those sections improperly done are void.
Those who want to be able to steal elections want to have such outrages as "curing", etc. included. Nope. Self-disenfranchisement of a voter by his own errors is not a public interest.

Although Brazil's presidential election took place more than 4,000 miles away, the baseless conspiracy theory that it was stolen raced through the American right-wing media.
N-BS and their cohorts (C-BS, A-BS, PBS...) have been quite good at collecting conspiracy theories and claiming they're the truth, while calling things done by the Dems and the Left (BIRM) as conspiracy theories. It's almost like they're the spokesholes of commies in the US, like a 5th column...except they aren't secretive about it.

Ok...over the years and other recipes I've perfected it but will try the crock pot o' onions this winter mentioned Sunday. Also a trick to carmelize the onions in the oven vs stirring. I've always used sliced red onions as that was the original I tried as a newlywed.
Once you have your onions carmelized & are adding beef broth, add at least 1/2 cup white wine as well. You can also use wine to deglaze the pan of onions as more wine never hurt anyone. Add herbes de provence. I never measure, but about .5-1 TBS to to your taste.
Before adding the onions/broth to the oven-proof soup bowl, put 1 TBS cognac or brandy on the bottom of the bowl & proceed with onions/broth and slice of bread and shredded Guyere cheese til it browns in broiler.
I don't know what magic the cognac does, but it works for me.

But what is that based on? Go ahead, try to find a single contemporaneous source talking about Mohammed. There are none. Gibbon pointed this out more than 200 years ago. It's a known problem.
Pick a conqueror. There's always some dude who had dinner with him. The Byzantine Empire was a thing, and do you think some Greek dude wasn't dying to meet the guy ravaging the eastern provinces? Do you think the great conqueror didn't want to have his story told by his enemies? We have first-hand accounts of Atilla the Hun at dinner. Why are there zero accounts of Mohammed doing...anything?
It's funny how there are still retarded "Akshually, Jesus didn't exist" articles when Mohammed is much more problematic.

Ukraine is over 5000 mils away and the Ldft supported the allegation that Russia stole the election which led to the 2014 coup.
Even though the elected government agreed to have another early international monitored election. The first election was monitored also but it didn't matter either to the CIA and Ukrainian crooks.

Well, kinda. I do have a history major focusing on the Middle Ages.
But the burden of proof is on Islamic scholars, not on me. Show me the documents! Edward Gibbon exposed all of this more than two centuries ago. Are you saying Gibbon didn't do research into ancient sources? That he didn't know Greek or Latin?
Every frickin' Easter some retarded atheist scholar says Jesus didn't exist, and we have to dump the immense volume of material showing that He did. Not just the Gospels but Roman records that are far from favorable.
No such scrutiny is given to Mohammed. It's time we stopped being pussies and just called the whole thing out: show us this guy. Meet the Jesus standard of proof.

I love fall/winter and cooking. Am not a summer cook with any enthusiasm.
Fall/winter/snow does it for me. I must be a throwback to Scots Highlanders as my love of mountains and snow has baffled my entire family in MS since I went to college here. I'm Scots-Irish-French-English.
I loved living 1/4mi from the Atlantic for 20yrs (and 1/4mi from the Intracoastal Waterway aka Indian River) in FL. Great place to raise our babies and we moved there when they were 2yrs and newborn. Baby took his first steps in the sand. The second he heard the surf he was out for a nap before he got to the beach. It was grand to live on that barrier island.
However, the mountains are what we love most. And we're back for 11yrs after meeting 50yrs ago this month in college.
I plan to make many soups, stews, etc as the frost should be on the pumpkins soon. We used to get our first snow below the high peaks in early November (there's snow up there now). Gorgeous. Ski country.

Yep. That's what we missed the first autumn in FL. The seasons are subtle there. January/February gorgeous.
Moved there for his job and to be a bit closer to my parent's farm in MS...a 13hr drive. We'd go twice a year and they'd fly to us twice a year. Worth it as my boys got to know my grandmother's and aunts and my family.
We missed these mountains badly. Love FL but love it here more.
I know RI is beautiful. It's too bad our former SIL is such a weirdo and tossed us aside when MIL died (actually before she died). She's of the uber snotty kind of Rhode Islander, for reasons unknown, as her family, to my knowledge, were not of the upper crust in Newport to sneer at us. As far as I know Kingstown. It is all very weird on her part.
I insulted her once (without meaning to) asking if it was spelled Kingston like Charleston. She went off, man. hic Probably during my college daze. Her husband, my late BIL, loved me and that's all that counts. We shared a lot of laughs while she had migraines at family parties here.

The Mob Lawyers for Cuba's Kleptocrats Attempt to Intimidate US Ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz, Who Informs Them He Has Chunks of Guys Bigger Than Them In His Stool
And the Cuban delegates assaulted an American staffer.
Bomb them.Hey, that's a Jim Acosta move. And Acosta is, in fact, of Cuban descent.
US Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz got into a shouting match Tuesday with Cuba's foreign minister on the floor of the UN's General Assembly hall while detailing the communist regime's ill-gotten wealth. Waltz called out the Havana government for profiting off of the forced labor of its own citizens sent to concentration camps while using confiscated "businesses, farms, factories, homes and the savings of generations of hardworking Cubans" to line the pockets of its leaders. As Waltz spoke, Cuba's delegation banged on the table near their seats to express disapproval before Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla charged toward the rostrum and accused Waltz of lying, causing the US envoy to shout: "Back up!" "He doesn't like hard truths," Waltz told the delegates. "You can come and intimidate all you want." "He's not going to intimidate me in the United States of America -- like he tries to intimidate political prisoners," said Waltz, raising his voice at Parrilla as UN officials tried to restore order. "I know that you don't like to hear these hard truths, but I am speaking for the Cuban people," Waltz added. "And ever since 1959, this government in Havana would have you believe that everything in Cuba has just disappeared; that they are the victim; that it's someone else's fault." A video obtained by The Post showed fellow US diplomat J.P. Freire being assaulted by another member of the Cuban delegation who tried to grab Freire's iPhone as he was recording the confrontation.
... The broadside against "corrupt Cuban elites" at one point featured Waltz displaying a photo of late dictator Fidel Castro wearing two Rolex watches worth around $40,000 in today's money. "According to the regime's own statistics, that would pay for 55 years of an average Cuban wage," Waltz noted, before showing a photo of Miguel Díaz-Canel and saying, "It didn't just start with Castro. This is the current Cuban president, also with a Rolex on." The former Florida congressman highlighted reports on the Cuban military-run conglomerate GAESA amassing $18 billion in assets that have enriched regime elites, showing further photos of them flaunting their wealth.
🚨 HOLY SMOKES. Trump UN Ambassador Mike Waltz just WENT BERSERK at the Cuban official who tried INTIMIDATING him in the middle of his remarks
"BACK AWAY. THIS ISN'T HAVANA. You're NOT gonna intimidate ME! Do you understand who you're dealing with? This is AMERICA...SIT DOWN." 🔥🔥🔥 "I'm the representative of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA — BACK UP!" "You can bring as many people as you want, PLEASE SIT DOWN." The moderator got flustered! The UN is a total crapshow! I think these Cuban communists just KNOW what is coming. Rubio told Cubans to partner with the CIA, and they're shook now.— Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) October 27, 2026
The Castro regime has profited at the expense of the Cuban people with luxury cars, expensive watches and a private island resort. As I shared this with the world, regime thugs rushed the stage to interrupt my speech.
They can intimidate their own people in Cuba but think again about trying that nonsense in the United States of America.— Ambassador Mike Waltz (@USAmbUN) October 27, 2026

The cubans never made maps of their minefields so they could not be sold on the black market. Once every few years they would light the minefields on fire to burn them off so they could start over. Those minefields burned for 4 days. Thousands of mines cooking off from the fires for days on end.
In 1995 castro decided to open all of his prisons and herd all of the prisoners to the beaches and force them into the water on whatever they could find that would float because he knew we would rescue them.
And we did, the Navy and Coast Guard rescued over 10,000 of them and brought them to GITMO Some of them were political prisoners but most were murders, rapist, thief's and other petty criminals. A bunch were HIV positive and every single one of them eventually got a plane ride to the US and were granted green cards.

I would have to go back and find the interview but he was on cnn or msdnc and claimed that no one including the president had the authority to declassify any documents without having them go through an intelligence team at DIA and getting to them to bless the document(s) to be declassified after they retracted damaging stuff.

NBA Legend Who Earned Nearly $200 Million Admits He's Broke As Wild Spending Habits Revealed
The Basketball Hall of Famer claims he has just $300,000 left in the bank and approximately $3 million in property holdings, despite reportedly raking in $195 million over his 19-season NBA career.
The court filings also offer a glimpse into Pierce's lavish spending habits.
The former Celtics superstar reportedly spends a whopping $7,000 per month dining out, $5,000 on groceries, $8,000 on childcare, $3,500 on entertainment, $3,200 on utilities and another $1,000 on clothing.
The expenses come on top of approximately $28,000 in monthly child support and $20,000 in spousal support, pushing his reported monthly financial obligations toward $75,700

$8,000 per month on childcare? What does a live-in au-pair cost? Even a nanny shouldn't be $8,000 a month.
$3,200 on utilities? Does he keep the house at 60F, light up every room and outdoor shrubbery 24/7, and have a heated outdoor pool?

The Justice Department has launched an “aggressive criminal investigation” into Alaska’s Senate decoy candidate Daniel J. Sullivan, according to Fox News.
News of the criminal investigation comes after The New York Times confirmed that Mary Peltola’s campaign recruited the decoy Dan Sullivan to confuse Alaska voters
Posted by: Stateless - Ralphy 106 years old - puppy at heart at October 28, 2026 06:43 PM
It's done, peltola's campaign lawyers lied under oath in federal court claiming that they and her campaign had nothing to do with finding this guy to run.
The odd thing is the NYT broke this story and they could have sat on it until after the election was over. That leads me to believe that they were trying to get ahead of another outlet that was getting ready to drop this news.

The whole 'ranked choice' voting in Alaska seems wrong, but the talk radio folks made it seem like the ranked choice nuttiness made this trick more likely to work. Does Alaska not show the party affiliation on the ballots or is this con guy Sullivan also running as a Republican? (How did the GOP let that happen if so)
Posted by: PaleRider
Top four advance and another Democrat took a dive during the primary so that Peltola would be facing three supposed Republicans. Due to RCV voting rules, you rank order your choices as 1-4 and cast your ballot, then you get a complicated Rube Goldberg calculation that takes into account the rank order, those that put no other candidate on the ballot, those that put one other, etc. etc.

🚨This is going to be the biggest self-own by Hennipin County of all time (and Hennepin has owned itself a lot lately). They do NOT want more attention on their ridiculous voter vouching policy by the @TheJusticeDept and potential voter fraud.
FACT: Hennepin County is charging James O'Keefe and Cam Higby with unlawful voting - but they didn't even vote! In fact, in her press conference, Mary Moriarty says it's clear they didn't intend to vote.
FACT: James and Cam exposed the absurdity of the state's vouching policy in which one individual, without an ID, can claim to be a registered voter, and bring in 8 other people without IDs, on Election Day, and "vouch" for them as legal voters. It's all on an honor system and votes are automatically counted. These are not provisional ballots.
FACT: They didn't sign the oath, which means legally they didn't commit identity theft. It was an act of pure journalism.
How many individuals who have voted based on someone else vouching for them has Hennepin County investigated for voter fraud? (The internet says ZERO.)

Seth Keshel has it about about 212-213 likely GOP seats and likely D 210-11 on Monday. About a dozen or so seats are tossups dependent on turnout. He relies on polling, spending, past voting history in the district (aka normal vote), and I think candidate quality to make his calls.
But it is clear that the Dem tsunami is not going to happen unless the yutes below 40 suddenly storm the polls in the remaining couple of EV voting and on Election Day. Their absence in EV and mail in ballots so far is why national pollsters are getting nervous and down to D+3-4 in national generic polling now. Some states, yutes are down to single digit percentages in turnout so far while the blue tsunami requires a much greater voter participation than that.

Judge James Boasberg — the same federal judge Trump called a "Radical Left Lunatic" after he blocked Venezuelan deportation flights — has been assigned to oversee the fight to unseal the FBI search warrant used in the raid on Rep. Ilhan Omar's home.
The case lands on Boasberg's desk as two separate federal investigations into Omar are underway: one examining alleged discrepancies in her financial disclosures and another probing whether her father misstated her age on citizenship paperwork in 2000, potentially allowing her to obtain citizenship as a minor. Trump has long accused Omar of committing immigration fraud, including allegedly marrying her brother, and called for her to be "put in jail" in the weeks following the raid on her D.C. home.

GA is being called for Ossoff by analysts because of polling and incumbency but Jackson (R) in the governor's race to replace Kemp.
NC has a relative unknown Whatley (R) taking on a former two term governor of the state and the Dems have held the governor's mansion for the last 10 years in NC while the GOP holds the State House, Senate, and Supreme Court. Cooper probably has a hard upper cap on his numbers due to a variety of factors including Western Carolina Hurricane response but has the name recognition, money, and ties in the more populous east and mid part of the state. Again, depends on turnout and perhaps degree of ticket splitting. NC is one of the states where they redistricted and there are two of the tossup House races there--one had an incumbent drop his reelection requiring GOP to put someone in that race and the other is a redrawn district that is competitive.

Quick Hits
Surprise! French leftists follow the lead of Spanish leftists and propose granting amnesty to hundreds of thousands of Muslim illegal aliens, even as they loot stores and burn down city halls and vandalize churches and synagogues.
Via Politico.eu:Lawmakers in the French National Assembly will vote on a Socialist Party proposal to grant amnesty to an estimated 300,000 to 400,000 unauthorized immigrants employed in France. The measure is expected to be supported by center-left presidential candidate Raphaël Glucksmann, whose campaign is eager to find some breathing space between centrist candidates like Gabriel Attal and Edouard Philippe, and Jean-Luc Mélenchon, his rival on the radical left. Glucksmann has previously expressed support for such a step in multiple interviews. The proposal, introduced by Socialist lawmaker Paul Christophle, hails Spain's Pedro Sánchez for having "chosen to provide foreign nationals with the legal means to settle and work" instead of "trying -- in vain -- to control migration flows."Trump advises "allies:" There's a strike coming on Iran after the midterms.
The U.S. has told several allied nations in the Gulf to be prepared for a short, intense military campaign following the midterm elections next month. The communications went through diplomatic and military channels, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing unnamed sources. The claims are among other indications that the U.S. and Israel are preparing to launch a new round of combat operations in Iran. The U.S. military is sending an additional Patriot system to Israel from Texas, which will improve missile defenses. The U.S. has also moved troops off bases in the Middle East based on U.S. intelligence suggesting Iran is preparing to attack Americans.
Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed's top campaign aide called Biden a "dipshit" and a "rapist" and said America is "cringe." Two out of three ain't bad.
A top aide to Abdul El-Sayed has publicly called former president Joe Biden a "dipshit" and "rapist" and blasted the United States as "cringe" on July 4, a Washington Free Beacon review of now-deleted posts shows. It's not the first time Roxie Richner--a far-left operative who, as El-Sayed's communications director, often hovers just behind him when he's speaking to reporters--has made news over her fiery X account, though the most recent posts unearthed by the Free Beacon have not been previously reported. "#IBelieveBiden raped tara reade and needs to be held accountable," Richner said in May 2020 as then-candidate Joe Biden faced allegations of rape by a former congressional aide, Tara Reade. "He's a rapist," she told a Democratic activist who urged his party to unite around Biden for the general election. El-Sayed, by contrast, has been walking a tightrope when it comes to Biden. Black voters--whose support El-Sayed badly needs--are strong Biden supporters, while El-Sayed's Arab base despises the 46th president for providing Israel with financial support after Oct. 7. El-Sayed has kept his public criticism of Biden limited to Gaza. Richner showed no such hesitation. While Biden made history by elevating the first woman to the vice president's office, Richner made it known that she was unimpressed. "Yeah but does it matter if his vp is a woman if he's literally a rapist?" she asked in April 2020. In March 2020, she said she "cried" after hearing the Reade allegations. "I'm sad for her because she tried to tell her story and no one listened," Richner said.
Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed -- who has no terrorist links or terrorist sympathies, Racists, and you should be ashamed for documenting his clear terrorist links and frequently expressed terrorist sympathies -- objected to the drone strike that eliminated the Al Qaeda mastermind who planned 9/11.
Abdul E-Sayed wrote that it was "troubling" that the United States killed the al Qaeda chief Ayman al-Zawahiri--who is widely considered the mastermind of 9/11--in a 2022 targeted drone strike. Killing al-Zawahiri was "a fig leaf" to cover up the disastrous U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, El-Sayed wrote in 2022, the Washington Free Beacon can reveal. In the piece, "Projecting Strength Abroad Isn't Simply About Killing Terrorists. It's About Standing Up to Despots, Too," which was published in the New Republic on Aug. 5, 2022, El-Sayed spoke out against the CIA drone strike that successfully took out al-Zawahiri, a fellow Egyptian who'd joined the Muslim Brotherhood as a teenager and ultimately rose to lead al Qaeda.Hey wait, Abdulrahman Mohamed Al-Sayed is an Egyptian with strong family connections to the Muslim Brotherhood. Small world!
"President Biden is using the strike to bolster his approval here at home. It is troubling to watch yet another American president flog 'War on Terror' themes to resurrect a laggard term," El-Sayed sniffed in the article.

Of course. Catherine Selgado:
The New York Times: Yes, the shifty Democrat socialist whore Mary Petola is behind the recruitment of a nobody loser named "Dan Sullivan" to run against the incumbent Republican Senator Dan Sullivan.
Maine Absentee Ballot Envelopes Ended Up at a Soros-Tied Organization in Maryland
The state of Maine seems reluctant to look further into a 2025 case in which hundreds of absentee ballot envelopes ended up in a different state and at a location with ties to the Soros family money machine. A local outlet says state officials closed the case, even though they had not produced any answers or solutions.
Advertisement UPS told Attorney General Aaron Frey's (D-Maine) office that it required a subpoena before it would release any details about the envelopes, and Frey decided he would rather not know. He didn't think there was sufficient evidence to justify a subpoena, according to The Maine Wire. Why worry about 500 ballot envelopes ending up at a sketchy NGO headquarters in another state? It is not clear why the NGO might have wanted the envelopes, of course. And it's strange that the envelopes were separate from the ballots. The Maine Wire's Steve Robinson already put out a detailed examination of the case and the records he was able to obtain, noting that the NGO, which operates out of a residential home in Maryland, has lobbying connections to more than one Maine Democrat official.
Operatives aligned with Democratic Senate nominee Mary Peltola spent months recruiting candidates in an effort to dilute support for Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan on Alaska's crowded ballot, according to The New York Times. The effort, internally dubbed the "ballot composition project," included an early directive to a Peltola staffer in the summer of 2025: find as many people named Dan Sullivan as possible in the state. The goal, the report says, was to land another Dan Sullivan on the ballot to create confusion and siphon votes from the incumbent. The White House communications department weighed in with a firm rebuke of the reporting that has come out after nearly 60,000 early votes have been cast in that election thus far, according to The Associated Press The staffer complied, combing through voter records to produce a list of Dan Sullivans from across the state. This was no random request. Dan S. Sullivan is the name of the state's Republican senator. And if the Peltola campaign or its allies could track down and persuade another Dan Sullivan to run for Senate, the confusion could cost the senator crucial votes on the state's unusual, four-person ballot. The plan worked. This spring, a retired teacher from a tiny fishing village along the Alaska Panhandle, reachable only by air and sea, announced his candidacy for Senate. His name was Dan J. Sullivan. The Peltola campaign has repeatedly denied any involvement in his candidacy. But The Times has found, based on interviews and text messages, along with documents prepared for a potential lawsuit against the campaign, that not only did Ms. Peltola's team work with people trying to recruit Mr. Sullivan to run for Senate, but the effort was much broader. The group worked to coax other would-be spoilers into the race, to dilute the incumbent's support and help catapult the Democrat to victory.Lisa Murkowski just endorsed -- get this -- the Democrat cheater.

THIS IS RIDICULOUS!! There are THREE Republicans on the November ballot — Trump-endorsed Bernadette Wilson, Dave Bronson, and Treg Taylor — and Murkowski passed on ALL of them to back the lone Democrat in the race Her father, former Gov. Frank Murkowski, also joined Democrat Tony Knowles and Bill Walker in endorsing Kreiss-Tomkins today At this point, why does Lisa Murkowski even pretend to have an "R" next to her name?!

Democrats keep trying to change the subject, but the subject is Somalis and, by extension, the Democrats' deep ties with and advocacy for their community despite all the trouble they are causing.
"'The Republicans have their best shot in 20 years at winning the state,' Hamline University professor of political science and legal studies David Schultz told Newsweek, crediting the state's issues with corruption and 'Democratic Party fatigue' as reasons why Republicans might secure a win. He added that he would not be surprised if Tafoya won the election."

arlier this month, CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten pulled the final polling averages for Senate races decided by five points or fewer, using surveys conducted in the last 21 days of each campaign. Those aggregates missed the final margin by an average of 3.7 points. Almost every race Enten examined fell within that range. "This, to me, is the big siren warning sign for Democrats right here," Enten said. "Because I know you feel like it's Lucy and the football. You've seen yourselves ahead before. And then Election Day, the votes are cast and counted, and the Republicans come out ahead." That's an uncomfortable message for a party that has spent months convinced it's headed for a big win. If the polls miss again, a lot of Democrats are going to learn on election night that they've lost. Enten also gamed out what that would look like. If Republicans beat their polling averages by 3.75 points, the map transforms. The GOP wins in Maine, Michigan, Texas, Kansas, Iowa, and Alaska, and leaves with a 52-48 Senate majority.
UNDERCOVER: GAVIN NEWSOM SAYS THE DSA IS "GOING TO BE DOMINANT" AND "MAINSTREAM" IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY!
"The DSA, the energy and the desire and demand for bold change, not incremental change, is very much going to be dominant. I mean, that's going to be a mainstream Democratic movement. Absolutely. No question about that." That's California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a likely 2028 presidential candidate, speaking to an undercover journalist while campaigning in New Hampshire. Asked by a "younger voter" who said "we don't want Kamala Harris, we want more democratic socialist policies": "No one is arguing to manage the status quo and fail more efficiently." "You can't play in the margins anymore. The system's broken. It's completely unbalanced, and we can't manage the decline. We have to completely reimagine."— Townhall.com (@townhallcom) October 26, 2026

I had to take a lyft to an appt to top it all and other stuff that happened; and a certain Rashad probably wanted to go jihad with me.
I suggested a different route from the Interstate, he argued 20min vs the 40min I suggested. Being smart I said ok (he said he was an "expert driver" which reminded me of Rain Man).
I was reading and looked up and we were on my short cut with less traffic and suicide, as that was on his app. When I got home I said, "Well, that wasn't so bad!" He snarled at me. It took us 20min my way. HA! Score! He'll probably return with a machete.
Even with all this I don't (thankfully) look as cranky, bitter, and dessicated as Murky Murkowski. That old beetch.
I think general crankienss seeps from inside to your face and she's a fine example of this theory.

She ran as a write in which required by AK law that her name be completely and correctly spelled for it to count. Some Murkowski crime syndicate judge allowed those to count.

I can answer some of this from before and after photos.
She had her naturally hooded eyes worked on. A blepharsty. Her eyes look ok,but not herself beforehand.
I don't understand at 36yrs why, but that's all natural me.
Her cheeks were rounder, which actually makes you look younger as I sport them still.
The trend in Hollyweird is to have buccal fat removal to enhance cheekbones. Gross. If you do this with the magic Ozzy pill you then look half dead on top of different.
As I've said, from having needed, horrific, and it turned out great from a spot on my nose years ago, it would require me going through a windshield for plastic surgery. Not just my advanced age but even when I was 30yrs younger. Nope!
The dermatologist told me today, for my yearly check up that I look 30yrs younger and have amazing skin for all the sunbaking I claim. At 32yrs when you get your first basal cell it tends to change your tanning at the beach or pool. On my forehead, plastic surgeon removed, and I can no longer find the scar.

I don't think the Europeans have that. I would expect more from Canadians. Yet, they have no real conservative movement. No true conservative leaders.

I once got a sunburn on an overcast day in early March in Chicago. My tan regiment is to get a burn, which leaves a little tan. I once spent a day outside at a Civil War battlefield re-enactment facing the same direction and had blisters from the top of my hand all the way to the ears. No more sun for me!

Calif is about to sign a 10 year contract with Siemens, for 3 High Speed Rail trains, and maintenance.... on a 10 year contract from 2030 to 2040.
Once signed... it's a debt... on trains that will never run, on tracks never laid... but they want to get the contract signed before a new Governator comes in.... so the current graft will stay where it is.

Been 45 years of Reagan and 30 years of Clinton. The areas that have cut taxes (Reagan) and services (Reagan & Clinton) the most have not risen to become top 10 economic hubs or anything like that. Center and right have failed America, keeping us running on fumes.
Today's Republican "center" is far to the right of Richard Nixon' policies; today's center is pretty much John Birch Society. FDR and Truman policies are far closer to DSA than to the Democrat leadership of today
Mamdani implemented in days/months what corporate dems have been talking about doing since 1990. Tangible example of if they wanted to, they would.
We've been trying the moderate side since at least the Clinton administration. Obama took a tippy toes step to the left. Can we try an actual progressive side of the party now?
Do you know how funny it is for DSA to win THE MAYORAL ELECTION OF NEW YORK CITY and for people to still pretend they're irrelevant or unpopular?
Fascists taking over the country and dems worry about people who want universal Healthcare.

The FBI investigated that "noose" found in Bubba Wallace's garage, right? With about 20 agents? Investigating dubious (in that case, obvious bullshit) claims of racism seems to be (or was) a top priority of the FBI. I think they can spare a bit of time to investigate claims of election fraud, which are far more likely to be actual crimes than Bubba's little hissy-fit.

*******
Ace's beauty tips!
SPF 30 daily in moisturizer since 32yrs on my face, neck and hands. I have no sunspots and am ancient.
From age 13yrs (pool) to 32yrs (snow ski, pool, beach) I baked every summer. Mostly wore a hat as my face didn't tan well for a green eyed blonde, my body tanned well and I loved it.
Some people are lucky and some are not in regard to UV waves changing DNA. However, the lucky ones, and I know many my age, have severe sun damage and spots...whether they turn to cancer or not.
I had one spot no bigger than a fine tip marker dot, on my shoulder, black, flat, looked different. Fooled PCP and derm: .32mm melanoma. Measured in depth vs size.Now sport a 3" incision for that one and no more (thank God and 25yrs ago).
I'm also lucky in that I have virtually no moles and if stuff shows up I run to the doctors who are with the university.
I'm one of the lucky ones. Skin cancer survivor.

Yep...you don't want it hitting circulation or lymph!
If I had a lot of moles I would have not seen it fiddling with my hair. Docs were amazed as it was not textbook. They both called me to tell me I'd be fine. They watched liver enzymes and a chext x-ray for 2yrs then told me to behave with sunscreen. I have. Wore a pressure bandage for 3wks and kept working in the ED. I wanted no pity from anyone with that diagnosis.
I got the basal cell on my nose from several bad sunburns as a youth...looked like a clogged pore vs the typical one at 32yrs, pearly, etc. Thought it was nothing yet my doc said, oh, yes it is!
A MOH's hole too big to heal, grew underneath skin, and then plastic surgery...2 scars from above nostril to the corner of my mouth & dimple. Called a shark pedicle repair. My dude changed the dressing each night, telling me it would be ok, when it was not ok at all in my opinion.
Within a few months the healing was amazing. Now you have to look for one scar, as the other one vanished somehow. They do work magic.

Doctors, Engineers, Flying Car Mechanics From Well-Run and Peaceful Countries Continue Culturally Enriching Americans One Murder At a Time
Bill Melugin
@BillMelugin_ 17h NEW: Multiple federal law enforcement sources tell @FoxNews that the man who was shot and killed by an off-duty FBI agent in Chicago last night was a Venezuelan illegal alien who was seen shooting into a homeless encampment. Per sources, the FBI agent was driving alone when he saw 27-year-old OSCAR D. CORRALES shooting at people in the encampment, and the agent stopped and shot CORRALES, killing him. Fox is told CORRALES was previously caught and released at the southern border by the Biden administration in October 2023, and he has a previous arrest in California in which he was released from custody with an ICE detainer ignored.
Bill Melugin:
NEW: Multiple DHS sources confirm to @FoxNews that the suspect charged w/ murdering a Walmart manager in Philadelphia, PA on Wednesday is a Haitian illegal alien who flew into the U.S. via former President Biden's CHNV mass parole migrant flights program in 2023. Per sources, 23-year-old Destino Jean-Louis flew into the US on 11/24/2023 via Fort Lauderdale International Airport, and his legal status was revoked on 6/12/2025 after President Trump terminated the program. According to investigators, Jean-Louis had previously been married to the victim he killed as part of an immigration-related sham marriage arrangement that was designed to help get him get a green card in the US. But after DHS denied the application in July, the victim, Latosha Cooper, withdrew the petition and cut off contact with him, and Jean-Louis became angry. He is accused of shooting Cooper in the head outside of the Walmart on Wednesday after finding out about her work schedule. He previously worked at the Walmart with her. The DA in Montgomery County, PA has now charged him with murder.

ICE is pushing back heavily on this story from @WTOP. ICE says this "youth baseball coach" is a Venezuelan illegal alien who has a deportation order after his green card was revoked following immigration fraud proceedings and he also has a prior arrest for gun & drug offenses.

DHS released a partial list of Doctors and Engineers arrested and deported to third-party countries due to Excessive Cultural Enrichment:
Bill Melugin
@BillMelugin_ 19h NEW: In wake of 60 Minutes segment on ICE's deportations to third party countries, DHS has released a list of some of the most egregious illegal aliens they've removed to third party countries because their own countries wouldn't take them back, including murderers, pedophiles, and rapists. Via DHS, some include: Yosmel Luis Palomino Galan, an illegal alien from Cuba, deported on August 15, 2025. His criminal history includes convictions for two counts of premeditated murder with a deadly weapon in Florida. Roberto Mosquera-Del Peral, an illegal alien from Cuba and Latin Kings gang member, deported on July 14, 2025. His criminal history includes convictions for first-degree premeditated murder, aggravated battery causing bodily harm or disability, aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, vehicle theft, andreckless driving in Florida. Thongxay Nilakout, an illegal alien from Laos, deported on May 20, 2025. His criminal history includes convictions for first-degree murder, attempted murder, and second-degree robbery in California. Tuan Thanh Phan, an illegal alien from Vietnam, deported on May 20, 2025. His criminal history includes convictions for first-degree murder and second-degree assault in Washington. Jesus Munoz-Gutierrez, an illegal alien from Mexico and Brown Pride Aztecas gang member, deported on May 20, 2025. His criminal history includes a conviction for second-degree murder in Florida. Jose Manuel Rodriguez-Quinones, an illegal alien from Cuba, deported on May 20, 2025. His criminal history includes convictions for first-degree murder with a weapon, firearm possession by convicted felon, possession of paraphernalia, cocaine trafficking, and arson in Florida. Orville Isaac Etoria, an illegal alien from Jamaica, deported on July 14, 2025.

Luis Vieira Andrade, an illegal alien from Cape Verde, deported on August 15, 2025. His criminal history includes convictions for rape of a child with force and assault and battery of a child under 14 in Massachusetts Dung Tien Nguyen, an illegal alien from Vietnam, deported on July 14, 2025.

Zakaria Farah Abdi, an illegal alien from Somalia, deported on August 15, 2025. His criminal history includes convictions for second-degree murder while committing a felony and receiving stolen property in Minnesota. ... DHS statement to @FoxNews
: "Thanks to these third-country agreements, we have been able to deport some of the worst criminal illegal aliens from the United States, including those who are so barbaric that even their home countries won't take them back, such as murderers, pedophiles, rapists, and drug traffickers," said DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin. "For far too long, illegal aliens ordered removed by a judge have avoided deportation simply because DHS had no place to send them. Through engaging in fully legal third country removals, the days of avoiding deportation are over. We will continue to use every tool at our disposal to make America safe again. The Trump Administration will NEVER apologize for putting the American people first and deporting dangerous criminals from our country. America is no longer a safe haven for the world's criminals."
Meanwhile, the Islamist UK government continues promoting the most energetic of Cultural Enrichment Officers.

NEW: ICE sources confirm to
@FoxNews that they've arrested two more Haitian illegal aliens accused of illegally collecting SNAP benefits in Ohio. Both have final deportation orders, and both were allowed into the country by the Biden admin, including via the CBP One cell phone app. Details per sources:
CLAIRINOR DUCLERC, arrested by ICE in Columbus, Ohio yesterday. He is a Haitian illegal alien who first entered the U.S. via the Biden era CBP One cell phone app at the San Ysidro port of entry in California on 3/29/2024. An immigration judge issued him a final deportation order on 1/20/2025 and he has an active bench warrant out of Franklin County, OH. He told agents he lives with his Haitian wife and their 1-year-old US citizen son in Ohio. Photo courtesy of ICE source. (left)
ICLES CERMOME, arrested by ICE in Westerville, Ohio on Monday. He was caught and released by Border Patrol during the Biden administration after crossing illegally into Brownsville, TX on 12/29/2023. An immigration judge issued him a final deportation order on 1/30/2024, roughly one month after he entered the U.S. illegally.

"Please step away from the knife."
He grabs the knife off the ground and lunges at the cop about 7 feet away, and damned near gets him, before the cop ever gets his gun out.
Other cops had theirs out and ... he dead.

You, I, no one was allowed to vote on this for decades.
Democrats just said, "we're going to stop enforcing the law."
And the GOPe said, "good idea, just make sure a few of them are willing to work for 60% of the going rate for labor for our corporate donors, will you?"
2016 was the first election where we the people got a chance to vote on this.

Most of them would have to get someone else - Soros, their cartel, their gullible relatives - to foot the bill to reach a border again.
If you're doing it right, all the deportees are on a no-fly list and have "Do not admit" on their immigration database entry... assuming such a thing exists and is accessible by border guards.
But this is why we need The Wall (TM): to reduce possible unguarded entry points.

103 years ago, the world was using us as a dumping ground for their refuse. We were on the tail end of an 80 year process where the world had done that.
And then the 1924 Immigration Act was signed by Calvin Coolidge and we had effectively closed borders (there were small quotas to fill, but nothing else) for 60 years. And America didn't become a backwaters territory with no economy, for some reason.
In fact, we thrived through WWII and became the superpower of the planet.

Little Italy wasn't a thing because Italians were integrating easily. Ethnic enclaves were common, and they spoke their own languages.
There were riots when some Italian Marxists were arrested, convicted, and executed by the US federal government by Italians in America. Vincenzi brothers? Something like that. Not looking it up.
And all the same arguments back and forth were happening in the late 19th century. "Jobs Americans won't do," was said about factory work.

Along with that you had a mindset among most immigrants - not entirely absent today, esp. among east Asians of certain flavors - that their kids would be *Americans*, dammit. The tenement dad telling his kids no Ukrainian or Polish or whatever outside the home - that was for Sunday school. The east Asian immigrants voting en masse to end CA's idiotic "bilingual" "education" programs. As a friend at the time put it, these parents would be thinking "I f***ing swam to get here so my kids would be Americans, and you want to teach them Kmer??!!!".

OK. Over 1,000 coal miners died per year from 1900 to 1945.
What's the point of asking me to do coal mining next? That factory work in the late 19th century was a better job than coal mining? All of those jobs suck. Sure, Americans will do them if they don't have much choice. If you were a kid in a coal miner town in the late 1800s, you probably thought anything other than mining was a pipe dream.
I'm not saying we should import people to do those jobs. But I can still plainly see those jobs are awful.

If they want to protest the deportation let them work their way through the court system by proxy for they will not be allowed back into this country.

OK. Over 1,000 coal miners died per year from 1900 to 1945.
What's the point of asking me to do coal mining next? That factory work in the late 19th century was a better job than coal mining? All of those jobs suck. Sure, Americans will do them if they don't have much choice. If you were a kid in a coal miner town in the late 1800s, you probably thought anything other than mining was a pipe dream.

Investigators stated the shooting was a targeted ambush connected to an immigration-related sham marriage dispute between the two. She was 45 years old, a mother of three, and a grandmother.
Reportedly, following an official immigration interview, authorities flagged the marriage as fraudulent. Cooper subsequently withdrew her visa sponsorship petition in July 2026.
According to the arrest affidavit, Jean-Louis - age 23 - targeted her because he believed she "messed up his life" by canceling the sponsorship, and he claimed she owed him money.
Jean-Louis is young enough to create even more hell & havoc in his lifetime.

Speaking of cultural enrichment, when did the Lutherans go full tranny?
Due to some inquiries from my mother's friends after some remembrances at her funeral, they wanted to know where I went to elementary school. That was an elementary, K-6 school run by a Lutheran church in Greenville, SC.
That school is defunct, and looking at the church's online stuff, I see they've gone full LGBTQZYXXX++++

I hear this a lot here but I think it's more complicated. Rap is dead. There's this droning monotone they CALL rap but it's nothing like the rap of the nineties or early oughts. I'm fact there's such a hunger for real rap that they have "classic hip hop" radio stations that serve this need. It's like the feminization of culture is so great that it infected rap music.

OBBB tripled the size of ICE.
Border enforcement is less necessary than before, so Border Patrol is actually doing more work on the interior rounding up illegals than anything they're doing at the border.
287g agreements with local jurisdictions have exploded from about 150 to about 2800, meaning local cops who find illegals in their day to day arrest them on immigration charges and then hand them off to ICE.
This has been going on all year and from before (OBBB didn't take effect until January 2025).
There's a reason our population declined in 2025 for the first time since the 60s.

Some people try to feed their cats only chicken or beef without adding taurine and they make their animal sick. I think they need calcium too in a certain ratio and the cats get this from bones or marrow?

Cats eat the whole thing, so lots of bone, internal organs with their minerals and stuff. Manufactured dry food trys to duplicate that, but then getting cats to drink is an issue. I give wet food that helps them avoid putting strain on the kidneys and fountains, with dry for nibbling in between. No overweight cats.

Communist Dictator Lula Orders Arrest of the True Winner of the Presidential Election and Demands His Passport be Seized; Marco Rubio Quarterbacks Operation to Evacuate Him from the Shithole Country
Will Chamberlain
@willchamberlain Flavio Bolsonaro's passport was cancelled and he was forced to flee the country by Lula, Alexandre De Moraes, and the insane Brazilian regime. His brother Eduardo has an arrest warrant out for lobbying the US. His father, Jair Bolsonaro is serving 27 years. Victims of political persecution, all of them. It's time for the Brazilian left to face the full force of American diplomatic and economic sanctions until they stop acting like a banana republic. The Trump administration lifted Magnitsky Act sanctions on de Moraes, his wife, and his holding company last December. They should be immediately reimposed. Further, visa bans should be imposed on every government official who has touched the Bolsonaro investigations - and their families too. Finally, Section 301 tariffs on Brazilian goods should be quadrupled. The Brazilian regime should look carefully at what has happened to Venezuela and Cuba, and remember that this hemisphere belongs to the United States of America.
Simón Levy
@SimonLevyMx As I reported hours ago, Flávio Bolsonaro has arrived safely in United States. The mastermind behind this operation is U.S. Secretary of State @SecRubio. From the United States, free and safe, Flávio will lead the opposition against Lula.
Dictatorship on full swing in Brazil!

And now, reports say Flavio is coming to FLORIDA and he will be granted asylum in America Brazil is being taken over by fraudsters and cheaters, and it COMES TO AMERICA if we let Dems win!— Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) October 27, 2026
Gina Milan
@ginamilan_ 17h Let me break down the Flavio Bolsonaro situation and why he is in the United States just hours after the election... First, they imprisoned his father. They sentenced Jair Bolsonaro to 27 years and placed him under house arrest after he challenged the 2022 results and was accused of plotting to overturn the election. In this recent election, Bolsonaro was ahead. Lula and his thugs, including his former corruption lawyer, who now sits on Brazil's Supreme Court, requested a two-hour extension that miraculously produced enough votes for Lula to win. That extension added only about 35,000 votes, roughly 0.03 percent of the total, which is nowhere near enough to explain Lula's final margin of roughly 4.4 million votes. Bolsonaro immediately challenged the election because anyone who is not a communist and has a brain could see that the election was stolen from him if they actually paid attention to what was happening. President Trump called the outcome a rigged election and said it looked very bad. Hours later, they accused him of trying to overturn the election, EXACTLY as they did to his father, and accused him of inciting "violence" in the streets. Then they prohibited him from leaving the country, even though he had committed no crime, and canceled his passport to make sure he could not leave. Fortunately, Bolsonaro had been working with the United States. They extracted him in an undisclosed operation before the authorities could throw him in prison just like his father. Meanwhile, while ALL of this is unfolding, Lula's little tranny lover, Erika Hilton, who is a "Congresswoman," is publicly calling for the Brazilian government to seize Bolsonaro's and his wife's assets and freeze ALL their bank accounts. DOES THAT SOUND NORMAL TO YOU? A man challenges an election, and suddenly the Brazilian government is coming after him for doing exactly that. THIS IS COMMUNISM. So while you see Democrats across our country congratulating Lula on his victory, including Alex Soros, the biggest demon of them all, understand exactly what you are looking at. These are the people cheering on a government that is targeting its political opposition. They are the enemy, and they will attempt the SAME thing against a Republican here in America, just as they did to Trump. This is EXACTLY why it is essential to vote RED and make absolutely sure our country NEVER becomes what Brazil has become. ONCE YOU GO COMMUNIST, YOU CAN NEVER GET OUT OF IT.

Further, visa bans should be imposed on every government official who has touched the Bolsonaro investigations - and their families too.
Finally, Section 301 tariffs on Brazilian goods should be quadrupled.
The Brazilian regime should look carefully at what has happened to Venezuela and Cuba, and remember that this hemisphere belongs to the United States of America.

Lula and Fidel Castro were the main instigators behind this idea after the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Basically, it's a large conference of leftist parties from around South America and the Caribbean, they also allowed leftist parties from the rest of the world as well.
A lot of the '21st Century Socialism' that Chavez won on in Venezuela were based on ideas, strategies, and tactics developed at the SPF.
It's been a poison in Latin America, but especially in Brazil where there younger generations are all totally brainwashed by an education system that is all the woke of American, Canadian, and European education and then some.
Between Lula, and his chosen successor Rousseff who was ultimately impreached, Brazil has been ruled by the PT (Worker's Oarty) since 2004. The only break from it, and the only man who ever had a chance to win those two decades, was Jair Bolsanaro winning in 2017.
The PT is dug in like a tick now, and they aren't letting go.
If we, in America, can take anything from the situation it's that this is a vision of the future for us if the Dems take control in 2029.

I hesitate to ask, but is it possible that the Brazilians are stupid enough to elect Lula for real? I don't know Brazilian people or politics at all.
Posted by: Blonde Morticia at October 28, 2026 03:30 PM (mmrXZ)
Lula is a hero to many Brazilians.
He was a dirt-poor nobody and eventually rose up to become a union leader during the military dictatorship from the 60s to the 80s.
He is idolized by the Brazilian left.
They've made feature films about his life.
He is popular in Brazil, but for a decade, similar to here, the Brazilian right has become a force again because of the constant march to the left of the nation, and corruption that is endemic among all politicians and bureaucrats.
Brazil has its own Religious Right and plenty of anti-communists because they aren't stupid and see what it does to a society.
Something unprecedented has happened with Lula covering an 11 million vote spread from the first to the second round while the right won the legislature outright.
I believe the race was close, because they are as divided as a country as we are, but no way do I believe Lula pulled out 4.4 million extra votes on Sunday to win.
How they cheated, I have no idea.
Posted by: SpeakingOf at October 28, 2026 03:41 PM (6ydKt)
My favorite part of Lula's quite implausible explosion of 2nd round support was that a lot of it came from states in the south that are the last place Lula will have much support. Parana, Santa Catarina, Rio Grande do Sul. Fairly European, prosperous, etc. "Conservative" culturally and politically.

Fascism didn't die at the end of World War II. It seems it's pessimistic/realistic theory bled into all the worlds' governments.
Russia grew into a state socialism with international aspirations. So aspirationally pure Marxism, but functionally national socialism, i.e., fascism.
Even the post-Russia criticism by socialist theorist of Russia was that it doesn't exhibit socialism at alll. No, Russia was "state capitalism". It's just the State played the role of the Capitalist, selling Russian labor in a world market. (Just like North Korea is doing now.)
Despite that this argument is a mite specious, it's not a model that we can't work within. There was no pure, lasting Marxism, outside of Cambodia--and that didn't exactly last.
Plus a stage of Marxist history is the Dictatorship (in the Name) of the Proletariat, which is a fascist-equivalent state with the social goal of changing man's nature to what is fit for "communism".
Thus Marxism has an inherent fascism problem, because it's simply the strongest variation.
Among Marxish variations, it really is the survival of the fittest (to survive).

I've been saying it for a while, but it's been obvious to me that all of the Trump DOJ's actions regarding elections have been targeted to take effect fully by 2028.
2026 would be great, but the real target is 2028.
And there are signs that the DOJ is setting up very open traps for state election officials to fall into as they execute this year's midterms, especially in CA with those 20,000 ineligible voters.

The legal system in America is slow, but the key is that the DOJ didn't start anything in the last few months like the RNC would normally do when it needed to put on a show of some legal recourse to obvious bullshit on the horizon.
They started suing blue states for their voter rolls the moment Harmeet Dhillon was appointed to the DOJ Civil Rights Division (it took a few months after the inauguration to get her through the Senate on April 3, 2025). And they just keep grinding away at it, no matter the push back from the judiciary.

Hubby wanted nothing to do with Brazil, calling it "bad news" for years.
We started in Bueno Aries for a week, then got on a ship around the horn (top 5 travel experience!) up the west coast and on through the Panama Canal from the west ending in Ft. Lauderdale.
Great trip and we did not miss Brazil even a little bit.
Our son and DIL went about six weeks later - started in Chile (for Machu Picchu) ended in Argentina and also really enjoyed it. They too skipped Brazil with no desire to go there.

I went there many moons ago and stayed for over 6 months, traveling all over the enormous country. One of the best things I've ever done.

Brazil's Flávio Bolsonaro:
I address the Brazilian people and the international community as the true elected president of Brazil.
On Sunday night, I watched in horror as electoral fraud unfolded right before my eyes.
I would like to thank President Trump and the wonderful American people for welcoming me.
What we have here is a politically motivated witch hunt intended to hold me hostage.
It was not my intention to leave my homeland, but I know exactly where this is headed.
I did not flee Brazil. I left for Brazil’s sake. I left a state of exception so that I could be the leader my people deserve.
Faced with the politicization of the justice system in Brazil, I brought my family to the United States.
I will lead the opposition from here.
To the international community, I ask you not to normalize what is happening in Brazil."

- CA has admitted they don't check citizenship
- CA has admitted they do not have any way to check citizenship
- Article II is clear that Congress can pass laws regulating who can vote
- Congress has passed a law that only citizens can vote
- Congress has passed a law that it is crime to knowingly allow someone to illegally vote
So that is why the cartel judge is going to rule:
1) there is no standing for the DOJ to determine who votes in federal elections in CA,
2) it is not a crime to illegally vote in CA if you don't know that it was a crime, and
3) if CA elections officials knowingly let illegally registered voters vote, it is not a crime because they had no way to know they were illegally registered to vote.
Plus, as I mentioned, he'll discard all the evidence and then find there was no evidence of vote fraud or people not eligible to vote, voting.

A vagina lined with pirhanas. Yow!
In other vagina-related mythology, this time from Alaska.
In the beginning, Raven was the only creature who had fire, and he guarded it jealously.
One winter was extremely harsh, and the humans started freezing to death. A woman volunteered to attempt to steal some fire from Raven, as otherwise she would die anyway.
She made up a basket full of Raven's favorite foods and went to his house and sat outside. "Oh, here I am with this delicious food, but I will certainly freeze to death before I can prepare it."
Raven heard this and invited the woman in to warm up, on the condition that she share her food.
After dinner, Raven went to sleep. The woman quietly picked up a burning coal and put in her vagina (yeah, I know, ouch!), then quickly left. She came home and kindled a fire and the people were saved.
When Raven found out, he was angry, and yet, being a trickster himself, he admired the woman.
"Your punishment will be this: From now on your vagina will itch and you will long for a man to make it stop itching. When you find a man who can make it stop itching, you will wish for a different man to make it itch again."

The TVs are watching to see if you're paying attention to the screen. The TVs are watching the screen to detect food, text, sports, which video game you're playing, etc. The microphone is on, listening for certain phrases. They're even counting times they hear a baby crying or pets making noise (barking, meowing, etc). Some will even look for Bluetooth devices that have a microphone if they don't have access to a live mic and try to gain microphone access that way.
Lots of people are reporting their TVs go from sluggish to snappy when you remove the spyware and bloatware.
Some of the models will refuse to "hack" devices you own. But there are a lot of AI models.

They'll just burn down the rain forest to clear new land. The ashes leach down into the upper layers of acidic soil for a couple of years, so you end up with maybe 2 years of decent crop yields at most. Then it turns into a desert, and you move on to burn down another several thousand acres of rain forest. Rinse and repeat.

They literally show cops training videos about knives. The fun experiment is to give people water-soluble markers and white clothing. tell them to use the markers as knives with a judge to tell if someone has won.
See how many marks you have on you at the end. Now, granted, you and I are not experts in knife combat, but its very very enlightening. Knives are scary and deadly.

The Economist Publishes Chart Showing That Immigrants, Especially From Afganistan, the Middle East, and North Africa, Commit a Grossly Disproportionate Amount of Sex Crimes in England, Wales, and Denmark (But Then They Try to Hide the Ball)
Here's the thing, though: Because the discrepancies were so enormous, they attempted to hide just how grossly disproprtionate the rates of sex offense are.
They put the numbers on a logarithmic scale --which deliberately squashes numbers together to disguise just how great the differences are -- to hide the full extent of the disparity. But people normalized the scale into a simple and clear linear graph. Here's the graph the pro-open-borders Economist published. Note the scale at top shows rates of sex offense jumping from 1, to 2, to 5, to 10. That's to hide the outlier here.There it is, ladies and gentlemen. The Economist has finally published a graph on migrant crime levels. I’m sure the usual suspects will be absolutely furious to discover that the data has once again refused to cooperate with their preferred narrative. https://t.co/6Wh9sQSUhg

The Economist article this chart comes from (https://t.co/LCDzKKfW5L) tries to play down the discrepancy. But the data (shown on a linear rather than log scale as in the original article) is alarming indeed. The Economist's conclusion, that in absolute terms the difference in sex crimes is not alarming, hides the fact that migration is a real issue and there is a clear impact. 🤷♂️

@jonatanpallesen This figure from the Economist looks bad, but reality is in fact even worse. Sexual offences is a broad category. And as a rule, the more severe the crime, the higher the over-representation of perpetrators from the Middle East and Africa. We can see this in the data from Denmark, which has the best quality crime data in the world. Here we can break down both by ancestry and by severity of offence. The figure shows that in Denmark people from Middle East and Africa are vastly more over-represented for rape than for sexual offences. The same is likely the case for England as well, so if they had the data available to draw the red rape circle, it would be much further to the right.

Do immigrants from some countries commit more sex crimes? A hard look at Britain’s data suggests so. But it is hardly an epidemicTren de Aragua only took over a few apartment buildings in Colorado. The article is paywalled and conspicuously absent from Archive.is, but here are some quotes found on a Reddit thread about the article:
Ten additional rapes = no big deal. But we should also hang the Cornell 7, who are guilty of zero rapes. The Economist attempts to make the numbers look better by weighting for age. Now, it is true that men aged between 17 and, say, 35 commit the great majority of crimes, and most of the immigrants coming over from these shithole countries fall into that age range. An invasion of "military aged men," as they say. But this does not help their case, because they're advocating for a continuing flow of men from these countries at the exact ages most likely to rape or commit violent crimes. The anti-immigration or immigration-slowdown crowd makes the case that we cannot absorb so many military-aged men -- or, perhaps we should say, rapist- aged men -- in so short of time. And also: This kind of numbers-massaging doesn't make the great disproportion in sex offenses go away. It just reduces it from "terrifying" to "highly alarming." The Economist says we can and should and that the additional rapes and sex attacks are just the cost of boosting our GDP (by importing huge numbers of nonworking males with no skills who will be on the dole their entire lives). My citation for that? Why, another graph prepared by the gonzo open borders woke magazine The Economist, showing that immigrants from the "MENAPT" countries -- Middle East, North Africa, Pakistan, Turkey -- contribute the least to the Danish economy by far. Note the second lowest line represents other immigrants -- also a small contribution. Also note that this is based on age, so all groups drop to very low levels of economic contribution as they go past retirement age, as of course they would. But look at the very low levels of economic contribution for immigrants in what are, in the West, considered the "productive years" of a man's life:
This suggested Afghans are convicted of sex crimes at seven times the British rate--a far cry from Mr Timothy's "over 20 times", but disturbing nevertheless (see chart)." "here age-standardised analysis exists for those countries, the over-representation shrinks, as in Britain, but it does not vanish.
"And the numbers need to be kept in perspective. In 2010-12 Afghan nationals were convicted of 92 sex crimes; in 2022-24 the total was 102. Ten additional sex crimes, after the Afghan population has roughly tripled, is not an epidemic."
The Economist, in another article, says that riots in Europe have nothing to do with culture:
The Economist
@TheEconomist Oct 24 Donald Trump's diagnosis of the protests is plain wrong. The problems facing Europe's liberals are not about race or religion--and are much harder to fix
Rule of Law ⚖️
@MovetheWorld9 Oct 26 The Economist and The FT have been left-wing publications for 20 years. They are not pro-capitalist publications at all. That ship sailed decades ago. They are left-wing on every other issue not just on immigration.

Operatives aligned with Democratic Senate nominee Mary Peltola spent months recruiting candidates in an effort to dilute support for Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan on Alaska’s crowded ballot, according to The New York Times.
The effort, internally dubbed the “ballot composition project,” included an early directive to a Peltola staffer in the summer of 2025: find as many people named Dan Sullivan as possible in the state.
The goal, the report says, was to land another Dan Sullivan on the ballot to create confusion and siphon votes from the incumbent.
The White House communications department weighed in with a firm rebuke of the reporting that has come out after nearly 60,000 early votes have been cast in that election thus far, according to The Associated Press

Because a collision of atheist "bright ideas" still are scuttling our change at reproducing our population.
They've been spinning the plates of politician promises covered by new revenue for a long time, and that would come to a crashing halt when all these anti-reproduction "bright ideas" are combined with a cessation of immigration.
They've sold the welfare state, now they need more people to pay in so their promises don't fail on their watch.
They will use other words, but it illustrates the same system.

But every woman north of the Mediterranean knows the reality -- being alone, or isolated, with a man from "MENAPT" means you are very likely to get raped.
Even leftist/liberal woman know this.

Anyone here think African and Muslim invaders got less rapey in the last 4 years?
And why only England and Wales. What about Scotland?
I have to say, the graph looked like it underrepresented the African/Muslim sex crimes as compared to the rest of the population.
Now I think I know why. It's been 4 years of these animals getting away with all sorts of crimes, from rapes to murders to thefts, and I'm sure it emboldened them.
Plus, there are a lot more of these mongrels in the UK now.
So I would add 25% at least to their lines on the graph.

RCV got passed because the entire proposal included language that purportedly stopped dark money from the Lower 48 from influencing elections going forward. Of course, that was a lie. I know nobody who voted for RCV, but enough did that it barely passed. If you knew who counted the votes in Anchorage, you would know that count was suspect as well, but as goes Anchorage, so goes AK.
It will be repealed during this election, not to worry. Everyone is sick of the nonsense and the lack of party control over who ends up on the final ballot.

Translated from Hebrew
Likud:
The elections in the State of Israel were stolen by Arab parties that support terrorism and the elimination of the Jewish state through serious criminal offenses of bribery, threats, violence, forgeries, and the use of prohibited software to mobilize voters.
The Likud party is transferring to the police, the Shin Bet, and the Central Elections Committee hundreds of testimonies and pieces of evidence regarding election theft in many Arab polling stations—thousands of envelopes with cash and Ra'am slips, threats and violence against polling station members, multiple voting behind the curtain, voting with double identities, discrepancies between the number of envelopes and the number of voters, the use of prohibited mobilization software, and more.
We demand from the police and the Shin Bet a thorough investigation into the election theft by the Arab parties and the full prosecution of the criminals.
We demand from the Central Elections Committee an immediate response to investigate these criminal offenses that have severely damaged the integrity of the elections in Israel and the election results.

Yep. Any criminal calculus now vastly understates crime. There's that which isn't questioned, that which isn't pursued, and that which is plead down to lesser/fewer charges. Oh, and the charges dissolved by suspect, if not corrupt, judges.

Best estimates I've seen... 47% of the total GDP is spent through combined Government spending (State Local and Fed added up).
Now, Government does not produce anything EXCEPT order... it produces no products, no wealth... just enforces rules and regulations.
So when 47% of your total wealth, is either used for control, or given to someone else in your society (which is also a form of control)... of course the normal citizen has no real chance.

The biggest takeaway from Israels elections is actually universal - that Islamists like to sit dormant, waiting, and then when the time seems right they sweep in and use the country's democratic system against them. Almost 20 seats projected for the Arab parties, in which the majority of the representatives are not moderate Arab Israels. This problem is coming for all of us.

The government can print money.
Cooperations can not print money.
Flooding your nation with low-wage shitskins to compete against whites drives the cost of labor down for corporations, increases the demand for rental housing for corporations and any increased costs are borne by the state, who can simply print more money.
Or put another way, even if only one sand-n*gger or regular n*gger winds up being competent out of ten that are imported, the corporation doesn't bear the cost of the 9 failures. In fact they profit from it, because the corporation produces the free food, phones, clothing, and housing that the government pays for by printing money.
Having an extra bunch of layabout retards is good for corporations that contract with government.
Hotels can rent you a room for $200 a night for your one week stay in Paris. But they can rent the government the same room for $300 to the government for 3 months to house Dindus

The Jeffs family of LDS decided polygamy was still a binding Commandment so moved to northwest Arizona on the wrong side of the Grand Canyon from any real state enforcement, and also outside Utah's own (new) juris-mah-diction.
What happened was a lot of incest, rape, and young boys bussed over to Utah still holding their woobies.
tl;dr, polygamy is a relic of barbarism, not a "culture", and the source of all this dysfunction.

Log scales can be quite useful and help show things better (with exponential/geometric growth, it becomes a straight line, for example). And also compress something down that spans a wide range. But they can also be used to deceive as in this case.
It's the same as specialized jargon and highly specialized language. Things can be very complex and require careful description, and so specialized terms are developed.
The difference is always intent. Is the use of the jargon intended to clarify, or is it intended to obfuscate?

More Ilhan mysteries -
Laura Powell
@LauraPowellEsq

EXCLUSIVE
When her father died in 2020, it was Ilhan Omar who provided the information for the death certificate. She claimed her father’s name was Nur Omar Mohamed. She also claimed that her paternal grandfather was named Omar Mohamed and that she didn’t know her paternal grandmother’s name.
Oddly, his gravestone only includes his first name. It reads, “Aabe [Father] Nur, Son of Awo Yusuf.” “Awo” is a female given name, so Awo Yusuf must have been his mother’s name. It’s strange that her name was considered so important that it was the only one included on the gravestone, yet Ilhan denied even knowing her name.
In any case, none of this explains why he was always called Nur Said Elmi by those who knew him, or why Ilhan’s full name is Ilhan Abdullahi Omar. According to Somali naming traditions, if her father’s name was Nur Omar Mohamed, she should be Ilhan Nur. Where does Abdullahi come from?
It’s incredible that we let people into our country without confirming their identities, much less grant them citizenship and a seat in Congress.

Bearing the burdens of others is centrally Christian, but doing that so that you can inch along a godless timeline of "progress" is not.

By saying the below, I am not saying that a lack of a belief in God is inherently some irrational proposition.
Even as a Christian, I don't find that to be the case.
What I say is most atheists are sloppy thinkers.
The goal state is "I don't have to believe in God." And once they make that justification, rarely does an individual atheist do more but to expect that prior ages are filled to the top with nonsense.
And that by removing themselves from the belief in God they have graduated into a class of nonsense rejection.
The beliefs atheists generate for themselves is the part of what is the problem. The problem is the blind faith of atheists.
These days, their intellectuals would dissuade you from believing you have agency ("free will"), that you are just a cloud of random elements somehow "experiencing" things.
It's not a class, it's more of a behavioral cluster.

Netanyahu's Party Wins More Seats Than Opposition, Garnering a "Clear Majority" of Jewish Votes; Left Wing Coalition May Cross the Rubicon and Ally with Arab Parties Which Support Hamas
Explaining a bit: Netanyahu's party won the most parliamentary seats, but not an outright majority of parliamentary seats, which means the next government will be supported by a coalition of various parties.
The Arab parties won a highest-ever 19 seats-- which would be enough, if combined with the left wing Jewish parties, to take a majority. But the Arab parties are, get this, pro-Hamas, and there is a longstanding taboo in Israel against allying with terrorist-supporting groups. For some reason. I don't know why. But my guess is that the left wing has abandoned all restraints in Israel, as they have in America, and will in fact implement the Red-Green Alliance, even in Israel, which just experienced its own 9/11 three years ago.Huh, polls overstated support for the left and understated support for the right. Must be the first time that has ever happened.
Netanyahu survives another day with unexpectedly clear backing of Israeli Jews
By Steven Scheer, Rami Ayyub and Lina Obeid
JERUSALEM, Oct 28 (Reuters) - Benjamin Netanyahu won the support of an unexpectedly clear majority of Israeli Jews in an election billed as a major turning point in his nation's history, apparently ensuring he will survive as prime minister at least in a caretaker role. With nearly 86% of votes tallied on Wednesday morning, Israel's three main broadcasters reported Netanyahu's bloc of right-wing, far-right and ultra-Orthodox parties on course to win 53 seats in parliament, well ahead of the 48 for the opposition bloc of rival Gadi Eisenkot.
I wish I believed that. But the left is now untethered and is increasingly comfortable with supporting actual terrorism and murder against their opponents.
Parties representing Israelis of Arab descent would win an unprecedented 19 seats, following high turnout from passionately motivated voters. The results could still change as counting continued, but a victory for Eisenkot appeared increasingly out of reach, as his bloc of anti-Netanyahu parties from centre-left to hard-right underperformed pre-election polls that forecast a tight race. While Netanyahu lost his bloc's narrow majority in the 120-seat Knesset, his opponents were left with scant hope of unseating him without an unlikely deal to accept broad backing from Arab parties, which many Jewish leaders reject.
... Trump, who had called on Israeli voters to keep Netanyahu in power so the two leaders could "finish the job" in Iran, said Netanyahu had done "very well" thanks to his own endorsement that "helped him a lot".Of course.
Ed Morrissey adds some analysis.
The election was the first held in Israel since Hamas-led fighters killed 1,200 people and carried off 251 hostages in attacks that shattered the country's sense of security and plunged it into war in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran. The war in Gaza, which flattened the territory and killed 74,000 Palestinians, has left Israel increasingly isolated on the world stage, with a decisive shift in global public opinion against it, including in its closest ally the United States.
None of the Arab parties will declare Hamas a terrorist group, nor will they stand for Israeli policies in either Gaza or the West Bank. While Israeli politics is famously fractious and far more to the Left than the US, those positions are far enough to the extreme that most other parties will not abide a coalition that includes the Arab parties. That may be even more true after the October 7 massacres; voters blame Netanyahu for ignoring the threat, but they are not going to back a government that has to let Hamas off the hook to boot Netanyahu out of office, either.Yeah I don't know about that.

We will know in a week but again that post wasn't a prediction, just saying that a swing to "60%" of Jews is not incredibly significant to me compared to who they might gain in the process of embracing terror with a hunky smile.
I do not think he will win but I do think he will "win". And I think the gap in polling was a cover for cheating him in in the primary.
No one questioned the win since he was "so far ahead". What if he was far behind in the polls but then won by 1 point? Different postmortem, no?

Its even worse then that.
While there were people living the Holy Land, prior to Zionism the population was light - the Ottomans didn't develop the land and it wasn't that important to Muslims.
Zionism then brought in European Jews with money and modern science/economics which led to an economic boom
In turn this lead to Muslims leaving the surrounding areas to move to Israel to work for the Jewish population

In Jordan. The British split off 80% of the territory, in spite of the Balfour resolution, and gave it to the non-Jews, and they called that area "Jordan".
The people of Jordan are 100% genetically indistinguishable from "Palestinians".
So where is the state for the "Palestinian" people (former denizens of British Palestine)?
In the 80% of land given to that ethnicity before half the remaining 20% was split off for Israel, aka Jordan.
There is such a history of disingenuousness in this discussion.

It's like everything that we would normally take as "communication" is used on the left. Not as a representation , but as a force to move you the way they want you moved.
This is how they use words, this is how they use numbers. Not to represent, report and inform. But to cause an effect.

A lot of this year's Democrat hopes depend on the whole "Where are they going to go? What are they going to do? Not vote for us!?!!! Vote for Republicans! Hahaha!" same as it always was.
And hell, they may be right...but, at least, here in Texas and looking at elsewhere, I believe there may be some very shocking results coming up for the Dims that they will have to cheat like the wind to undo.
How many lost ballots can be found in the trunks of '67 Buicks? We may find out. Al Franken's "election" is a great demonstration of that.
Anyway, I predict 2 huge shocking loses for the Democrats this election cycle.

On election day, police detained three Negev residents, one of them a senior figure at Siyua 48, the charity widely seen as part of the parent organization behind Ra’am. According to police, they were carrying tens of thousands of shekels in cash, packed in envelopes marked “A gift from the Islamic Movement.” Overnight, according to right-wing lawmakers, polling observers in Arab towns reported voters arriving at the ballot box holding fuel cards and gift cards they had been handed at the entrance, and some voters allegedly said the cards were payment for voting Ra’am.
If cash envelopes and gift cards moved even a fraction of a seat, in an election decided by a handful of seats and a 3.25 percent threshold, they could have decided who clears the line and whether Netanyahu or Eisenkot gets to 61. The Central Elections Committee and the police now have one week until the official results to show the public that the count can be trusted.

This is the actual test of whether you have a legitimate Democracy, or not... a test the US Failed in 2020 IMO.
Jan 6 was NOT about overturning the election, it was a plea for Congress to slow down so evidence could be gathered... so Congress could DO their job of ensuring it was a fair election before accepting the Electoral Votes.
And we saw that the 'winners' of the election, then used their power to BURY anyone who disputed the results.... results we now know had many many discrepancies.

Mainly because it's the "Arc of History". To Marx is was "inevitable" as the progress of history, but to later Marxists, it is nonetheless the way it should go.
The theory just has a totalitarian stage, though. After that we're all living in freedom on communes, where all the barriers to "dignity" are removed and everybody contributes because they have been given their dignity.
But yeah, they have to take over everything to beat Man into a shape where he inherits the benefits of Marxism. There is nothing that should resist it.

Somebody would have to explain to me how you have an insurrection that's more orderly on the inside of the "Seat of power".
That whole drama with breaking the windows and Babbitt happened 15 minutes after the last Congressfool was evacuated from the building.
But you have to pay attention to the timeline--and a lot of lefties were totally incapable of understanding the timeline of the Trayvon Martin killing.
Also, very much not known was the crush where the authorities gathered in riot gear ~ 3:15 trying to crush "protestors" against the back wall of the rotunda.
That's probably where some fucking damage was done!!

I had it pointed out to me that the US and the USN, unlike the Euros and most of the rest of the world, consider that any shipping carrying US cargo to or from US ports are considered under US protection, no matter what the flagging.
Should France or England or Holland decide to interdict Russian flagged shipping carrying oil or diesel to US ports, they have just recreated the crisis that brought on the Quasi War with France or the War of 1812.
Now the Euros have not problem with buying diesel that comes from Russia, France is still buying lots, but they have a problem with not being able to seize Russian shipping as they see fit. Blumenthal is probably just acting on this European reluctance.

Naturally, because before the terrorist 10/6 Palestinian invasion, "global public opinion" was favoring Israel and Israel wasn't "isolated on the world stage". You see, contemporary history only began after Israel responded to an existential enemy hellbent on River-To-The-Sea ideology. Nothing predated the hostility and global opinion was amicable.

#HeToo: Scientist Falsely Accused of Sexual Harassment Proves Case and Wins $6 Million Defamation Judgment
Wait until you find out what the "#HeToo" in the headline means.
'I lost everything': Ex-MIT scientist David Sabatini goes on camera for first time since $6M verdict By Ted Daniel, Boston 25 News BOSTON -- A Boston jury has awarded former MIT biology professor Dr. David Sabatini $6 million after finding that a former colleague, Dr. Kristin Knouse, defamed him. The verdict came years after her sexual misconduct allegations cost the renowned scientist his lab, his job, and his reputation.Women never lie about rape or sexual harassment. Never, h8rz. Never never never. Do better, h8rz. #DoBetter.
Here comes her #HeToo admission: A text in which she admits she was "quite aggressive" in entering his hotel room for sex, and then joking she nearly raped him: she called it a #HeToo encoujnter.
The jury's verdict was announced on Oct. 16 after a three-week trial. Sabatini had sued Knouse for defamation and that she wrongly interfered with his job and his future career opportunities, according to court documents. Knouse filed a counterclaim accusing Sabatini of sexual harassment, creating a sexualized hostile environment and retaliation. The jury rejected her counterclaims. "I lost everything. There was nothing left of my normal life," Sabatini told 25 Investigates' reporter Ted Daniel in his first on-camera interview since the verdict.
A leading scientist's fall For about 24 years, Sabatini led a research lab at the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research in Cambridge, which is affiliated with MIT. His work focused on cell biology and its connections to cancer, aging, diabetes, and neurodegenerative diseases. His breakthroughs once made him a potential contender for the Nobel Prize. His downfall began in 2020, when Knouse, an early career postdoctoral researcher at the Whitehead, accused him of sexual misconduct and harassment. She claimed Sabatini coerced her into a sexual relationship that lasted more than a year. Arguing before the Supreme Judicial Court, Knouse's attorney, Ellen Zucker, said Sabatini had sex with Knouse while she was a student and "continued having sex with her in a way that made her uncomfortable." ... On TikTok and across social media, Sabatini was labeled a "predator," an "abuser," and a "creepy dirtbag." When New York University considered hiring him in 2022, students and faculty protested, chanting, "What do we want? Safety!" NYU did not offer him a job. "It was horrible," Sabatini said. "'Rapists roaming the halls of MIT' was basically what was said."
Sabatini's sued Knouse over the accusations and his firing. In court, Sabatini and his legal team, led by Lisa G. Arrowood, argued the relationship was consensual. They also presented evidence they said showed Knouse had become jealous of another woman Sabatini was interested in and had sought to have him fired. "She took what to me was very apparent from all our messages, a fully consensual relationship," Sabatini said. "She converted that into a coercive relationship, which then you can also sort of see the escalation of that to claims as horrible as rape, and then sexual assault." Text messages entered as evidence show some of the exchanges between the two. On Jan. 5, 2020, Knouse wrote that she would "fixate on how I'm being held as a backup and competed against other women," adding that the anxiety was "not healthy for me, my science, or our relationship." On Jan. 17, after Sabatini told her he had kissed another woman, Knouse replied, "I'll be honest and say it definitely hurts to validate some of my anxieties in light of our closeness and discussions over the past few weeks."
In a video deposition, attorney Arrowood questioned Knouse about other messages. Knouse confirmed that she had written, "I know what I want, and I go after it." Asked about a message in which she wrote about visiting Sabatini's hotel room late at night during a work retreat, "In hindsight, it was quite aggressive, #hetoo," Knouse said she "was just making a joke about how I was being forward in that moment."Women never lie about rape. Never. They never use such allegations for vengeance against a lover who has rejected them.
Documents from the case show Knouse called her campaign against Sabatini "Covert Operation Dethrone." In one message, she joked about buying a "Lambo" if she won a settlement.
Below: The lying criminal who defamed him and ruined his life attempts to explain away a text in which she wrote that she was "aggressive" when she went into his rom to seduce him and then joked that she almost raped him, writing #HeToo. In other words, he was a #MeToo victim, but he's male, so it's #HeToo. She's joking about the rape but this casts rather a lot of doubt on her claims of being relentlessly sexually stalked by this man and "coerced" into a sexual relationship against her will.
"In hindsight, it was quite aggressive, / #hetoo."
That’s MIT based biologist Dr. Kristin Knouse being asked about text messages she exchanged with Dr. David Sabatini, a world renowned former MIT biomedical scientist. Sabatini was once considered a potential Nobel Prize candidate for his breakthroughs in understanding cancer and aging. The deposition is part of the evidence I reviewed in a defamation and work interference lawsuit Sabatini brought against Knouse. Sabatini watched his career, his lab, and his reputation collapse under the weight of campus protests and social media attacks after Knouse accused him of coercing her into a sexual relationship that lasted more than a year, according to court documents. 🚩Sabatini gave me his first television interview since a Boston jury delivered a stunning $6 million defamation/interference verdict in his favor.🚩 The interview airs on #Boston25 News during our 6pm newscast. I will post the full report after it airs.

I disagree. Many people meet their spouses at work, as I did. The answer is not to avoid relationships with the people you see the most, it's for people to be held accountable for provably illegal behavior, and not because they're part of a disfavored demographic. At the moment, we have the latter, but I wonder how many more incidents of gross abuse of rape allegations will be enough to make people rethink "believe all women". I hope we're getting close.

The difference is one of attitude and consequences. When a man rapes a woman, the other men want to beat him to death with axe handles. He goes to prison for decades and the other prisoners treat him like the scum he is.
When a woman accuses a man of rape, she's immediately supported by most men and all women. When its proven it was not rape many women continue to support her and a large percentage of people demand she be left alone because a woman's accusation is sacred. If you punish her, that will scare women off from accusing women of rape!
And the man's life is still ruined he forever after has a blight on his professional and personal relationships. It can end careers, end friendships, get them shunned even if its proven false.

You have to continue that list, schoolmates, rando strangers, etc. Nowadays, even prostitutes at the Bunny Ranch are suspect at claiming you raped them if they decide to do so.
I was around enough young male college students several years ago to see that many of them simply have decided not to bother with women around them. Not gay but not interested in getting screwed by institutions for being a guy if the girl decides later to revoke consent for any reason. Saw one poor guy get railroaded over it complete with a restraining order.

This is not hard, guys. Don't stick your dick in crazy, we all know that one, right? Well, don't stick your dick in coworkers either, and especially not subordinates. 95% chance it ends badly.
I disagree. Many people meet their spouses at work, as I did. The answer is not to avoid relationships with the people you see the most, it's for people to be held accountable for provably illegal behavior, and not because they're part of a disfavored demographic. At the moment, we have the latter, but I wonder how many more incidents of gross abuse of rape allegations will be enough to make people rethink "believe all women". I hope we're getting close.

This woman isn't some doe-eyed, innocent ingenue, she's a f***ing PhD at one of the world's top institutions. Suggesting that she lacks agency is risible. How did he coerce her? Did he physically threaten her? Did he make her employment conditional on having sex with him? If the latter, she could report it, and move to another group.
In a word, she needed to man up. However, I don't think this was such a relationship. She clearly just didn't get out of it what she had hoped for.

When I first heard about it, I couldn't imagine being so neglectful. But when I read more about it, I sided with the mother.
The oldest was 14. Most of us grew up with babysitters younger than that. The other kids were 12, 11, and 9. We're not talking about infants or toddlers. Many kids at that age are pretty easy to take care of.
She had an adult checking in on them after school.
She wasn't going to Vegas to party, she had a work trip.
She fully stocked the fridge and left money for pizza.
The kids' father is allegedly abusive and was out of the picture.
The 9 year old dropped a 5lb dumbbell on his head and the older kids knew to call 911 and get help. This could have happened just as easily with mom in the other room.
The system's response to this situation was to put the kids with the abusive father. Something tells me that's not better.

Maybe, but I know at least 3-4 couples in my friends and family circle who met their spouses or fiances on line, and another few who are in serious relationships.
None are Chads or drive Lamborghinis. None of the girls are model-pretty. They are all normal people, with normal jobs, and all found a mate online. It can be done.
It all depends on (i) which app you use and (ii) whether your expectations are reasonable.

Sexbots will be first instead of clones. And some women will try to ban them if the sexbots get critical acclaim and substantial purchases from men. Already some feminist academics are claiming that sexbots cannot consent and therefore males having sex with them is rape.

Bodycam footage shows Florida deputies arresting a mother at an airport after authorities say she left her four children, ages 9, 11, 12 and 14, home alone while traveling to Las Vegas for work.
Irene Miller, 50, was taken into custody Friday as she stepped off a plane. Two days earlier, one of her children had called 911 after a dumbbell fell on her 9-year-old brother's head.
When deputies arrived at the family's Kissimmee home, they found the children without adult supervision and had the injured boy taken to a hospital, where he was treated and released. Miller now faces four counts of child neglect.

With conservatives outbreeding progressives about 3:2, at least, Democrats are just losing ground even if they get every single kid in the schools open to persuasion away from their families to become prog lefties.

Link doesn't work. But males are increasingly checking out of higher education and thus not even in the running for institutions anymore.
Political socialization is a vast topic where family, friends, and schooling all have effects and they are differentiated by the degree sought, the level of competition to get into the school, and first job network effects. Not my particular area of interest but was my wife's (also piled high and deeper before she went into econ). My focus was more political mobilization for a time as a masters and beginning PhD student. But yes, I am well aware of the literature albeit a bit old and moldy by now.

Never, h8rz. Never never never
Last time I looked at the numbers between 2% and 80% of claims of sexual violence are false. The 2% number comes from studies where they only considered a claim false if the nominal victim confessed to making up the claims, the 80% comes from only 20% of cases reported to the police leading to a guilty verdict.
Feminists will quote the 2% number which is a silly stat, and you'll find anti-feminists quote the 80% which is also silly.
But since it is such a wide range it doesn't really tell us where the real number is.

only Amanda pushed that story
bc she wanted full custody of Ash
anyway that girl was the only case and it was tossed out of all the courts and is done with. the only legal thing left is the girl suing AMANDA!

look into it. it's was one woman. there was another who he'd allowed to be a sort of housekeeper who was older and out for cash. Amanda wanted full custody of their son so she set up the babysitter as the accuser when she found out Neil was hooking up with her (consensually and they were separated).

Well, I would say, technically she is guilty of child neglect, if child neglect is defined as lack of adult supervision for X time frame. She could have avoided this charge by simply hiring a minder for the kids to be there for the duration of the trip. I would not regard her as a bad mother for not doing this, but she had to know she was taking a risk.

80s latch key kids say otherwise. During the day, a 14 year old is incredibly able to watch kids. People are around and easily contactable and available to help.
It's only overnight when unforseen crap can happen, help isn't easily available, and folks have to respond right out of sleep that you want an adult around.

In Gaiman's favor I don't think he ever wrote a pre-teen gang bang in one of his books and presented it as a good thing
Oh, that's not the worst of it. Steven King's middle-aged stand in character was part of the gangbang to "celebrate life".
As part of my often regretful "I gotta know" I read the book and got to that part. Its worse than people know. Its not graphic, but its awful.

"Iowa Dems are up 15% in early voting in Iowa! It's a bloodbath for Republicans! They have no chance!"
Same day from 2022 when Reynolds won by 18% shows that Democrats were winning the early vote by 23%.
So, is the proper analysis to assume that this shows unusual strength from Democrats in Iowa? If you are a fucking retard, yes.
Otherwise, you look at it and realize that Democrats are running 8% behind the year that they lost the governor's mansion by 18% in early voting, when Democrats are at their strongest, and just write off the state as lost.

As I eschew blurring detail that blurs important distinctions, I want to make a note of it.
Land-owning head-of-household women could vote prior to the 19th amendment.
Women could vote--if they were in the same position of men that voted--save by that time unlanded bachelors could vote, I believe.
The 19th amendment was a move to individualism, where wives could offset their husband's vote.

Her? She looks average. Probably very brainy, considering the profession. However! Because there's always a however with me: someone needs to help her with her eyebrows as she's plucking too much near the end of her eyebrow. Not that that matters as she's a mean ole beetch and has beady eyes. Her reputation, at least with future men, is now in tatters.
I bet she railed and wept and pounded out a story to a sub reddit after the verdict.

If your university doesn't have this as a written policy, that even consensual sexual relationships between persons in these categories are forbidden, they're just asking for trouble.
At least this one didn't end in a murder-suicide like the one at my university (prior to the "no fraternization" policy) did.

Wednesday Morning Rant
One example of the "scientific" part of it being optional is the moral panic over plastic drinking straws. You probably remember this one. In 2015, a video showing what was alleged to be a plastic drinking straw being removed from a sea turtle's nose spread on the internet. It was fairly unpleasant, the turtle was obviously suffering and the then-current boogeyman of "single-use plastics" was enthusiastically blamed. The normal cries of "SOMEBODY NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING" went out and then the special interests, virtue signalers, press organs and of course the state came to the rescue.
There was a "simple fix" for this "major problem:" eliminate plastic drinking straws. Don't stop to think about whether it's actually sensible. Don't consider any other consequences. Don't consider the public. Just implement the simple fix and save the :: spins wheel :: sea turtles. So we did. It started, as it usually does, with the virtue signalers and media organs. After all the stories of the horrors of drinking straws and the inevitable social media amplification, outfits like Starbucks and American Airlines loudly announced that they would eliminate the modern-day horror of plastic drinking straws. Countless other places followed suit, spurred on by social media, NGOs and lobbyists. Then came the state actions. States like California and its little sister Colorado started prohibiting automatic distribution of plastic drinking straws (the customer must ask for one) and so helped the product to get crowded out, with Colorado going further more recently. Countless municipalities banned straws and often extended those bans to other "single-use plastics" like shopping bags. The little thing was in fact very big, had huge effects on the market and the substitute good - usually, paper straws or bags - was wildly inferior and people hated it. It was only a matter of time before the revelation that this is all pointless at best came to the fore. As anti-straw fervor spread widely, including to Korea, that country's government commissioned a study on drinking straws. They commissioned the study after taking action, of course, but what they found will surprise nobody who has seen this wheel turn a time or two:Conventional plastic straws had the smallest impact in 10 of the 16 categories, including climate change, acidification, particulate matter and human toxicity. Bio-PE straws had the largest impact in 10 categories, including ozone depletion, acidification and smog. Paper straws had the largest impact in three categories, while biodegradable plastic straws did so in two.So, as usual, the response was worthless at best and destructive at worst - and disruptive and expensive regardless. The sea turtle incident was used to flog a global movement against "single-use plastics," with the turtle-maiming plastic straw as the whipping boy. They got their way. In many places - including places where it can never make sense, like landlocked Colorado - they are no more. All they did was forcibly exchange plastic straws for an inferior substitute that is no better and may be worse. This is what always happens and this incident followed the normal progression. They achieved nothing but compliance for its own sake. Don't expect facts to get in the way or for the bans to be rolled back, though. It was the "right thing to do" and the right kind of busybody mini-tyrants feel far too good about it.

I live on the east coast. I went to a town hall discussion on banning plastic bags. Why should we do that? Well the pro-banning side brought up the case of a whale in the Philippines that got bags stuck in its throat. Ok. I live on the east coast of the US - tell people in China/Philippines to stop littering and leave me alone.
The ban passed BTW. And I remember some Karen arguing that sure the non-disposable bags they were replaced with needed to be washed and were more expensive but everyone has time and money for that right?

The video was obviously staged. What are the odds that some rando activist against Demon Plastic just happens to find a sea turtle with a plastic straw that inexplicably got stuck in its nose?
The video gives the game away in two respects: One, when they somehow identify that it's a plastic straw at a time when nobody who is watching would think that's what it is. And two, the vid seems strategically edited, as if they cut around parts they didn't want you to see.
Then the true nature of the op was revealed when an obviously coordinated messenging campaign sprung up overnight.
I feel for the turtle, especially since it was these creeps that stuck the straw up its nose. But a little blood is much better than, you know, getting eaten alive by the 500 predators in the oceans that feed on these turtles.

So we had to switch to plastic bags.
And then we had to ban plastic bags because it was killing the planet.
And none of the "studies" those bans were based on ever accounted for the fact the every household reused paper and plastic bags
Anyway, the US could easily meet it's carbon reduction goals if we nuked one major city.
I say we put it to a vote.
The easy answer is Los Angeles--the biggest bang for our buck.
I mean, why slowly starve and impoverish the whole of America with ever-increasing regulations when we can rip the band-aid and all live happily ever after?

See, plastic recycling is pretty terrible and no one wants a facility near them. So they starting shipping the stuff to China instead.
China found it was cheaper to just dump the stuff in the ocean rather then recycling it.

To be fair, your SiL is on the front lines of the war against psychopatriarchy:
"We can try to block it (courts); we can starve it (strikes); we can remove it (vote and get them out office). We can name and shame it (speaking out, marches and rallies), refuse to normalize it (write about it, make art about it); we can prosecute it.
...
But what we cannot do is go to sleep, become small and still, with the childlike fantasy that they will not find us. What we cannot do is succumb to it or become them – numb, selfish, hollow and cruel.
Our feelings, our pain, our empathy, our rage, our love, our refusal to turn away will be our salvation. Psychosis is the inability to tell what is real from unreal. Our work is to say what we see and trust what we know, to keep speaking truth to power and go to any lengths to stay connected to reality and each other."

I worked in a blue city. There was a new environut mayor candidate. My cow-workers loved her. She ran on a platform of among other things making office parks reserve half their parking spots for compact cars.
So when she won she put in said rule and the office park I worked in dutifully repainted the spots so half were reserved for compact cars.
Those cow-workers generally drove big trucks/SUVs and were often overweight so you can imagine they were now constantly banging other cars with their doors. This created much anger...against the company that owned the office park.
I pointed out they were enacting a new rule that the mayor they liked had passed. "But they didn't have to do it this way!" and then when I pointed out didn't they agree SUVs/trucks were bad for da Erf anyway the stock answer was "I need mine though!". Note very few of them actually needed a truck for truck type things or had a big enough family to "need" a large SUV

In Southern Idaho, they built a new grade into the Snake River Canyon.
They needed fill, as the old grade crept along the wall, this one was largely a straight cut.
And even with the thousands of tons of rock they blasted out, they needed more.
They turned to the local glass recycler who gladly off-loaded thousands of tons of glass--that they otherwise had no use for.
Anyway, they named it something dumb, like for some local dignitary.
Instead of the more poetic "Glassheart Grade."

The original name for straws were sanitary straws because of crappy dishwashing leaving unclean glasses especially with residue along the rim. With the EPA interfering in dishwasher function to 'save' energy, dirty glasses are again an issue because the dishwashers are imperfect about removing residue nowadays due to limits on water and energy usage of dishwashers. So you might want to return to using straws to avoid 3rd World health issues.

Paper bags, and then plastic bags, were massive public health improvements.
Because, before them, people reused their grocery bags.
And they were nasty vectors for food-borne illness.

I smiled slightly (and visibly, as I was not masked) and turned my gaze back to the tortilla chips. There were others in the aisle, all masked. They remained silent while I made my selection and walked away..

Yea, but I kinda miss the days when it was socially acceptable to say "get the fuck away from me" when some rando got too close.
I have an odd problem in that I hate people but they are somehow inexplicably drawn to me. My physical size and demeanor scream "keep the fuck away," but wherever I go or stand, some randos will always follow.

From AI:
Historically cited studies identified major river systems—such as the Yangtze, Yellow, Hai He, Pearl, Mekong, Indus, Ganges, Amur in Asia, and the Niger and Nile in Africa—as carrying the majority of land-based plastic into the sea. Newer field research shows that thousands of smaller, densely populated coastal and inland rivers also contribute heavily to total riverine plastic emissions.
So Asia and possibly our own coasts, where the typical liberal elites live.

That is actually not proven. Basically Anthrope and Open AI are in a ridiculous death match to be the one that survives. Which means blowing billions of bucks they don't actually have as capital expenditures on equipment so they can create the latest frontier models. Meanwhile, under the radar screen, smaller such as installs on a single user computer and a bit slower multiuser AI models are adequate for most users.
Bleeding edge technology is always expensive and for many user cases, not worth the expense other than to claim First!
Frankly both leading AI companies are led by creeps so that like Iran-Iraq war, I hope they both lose in the future.

Tied to BPA from what I remember by epidemology studies but all of those suffer from the potential for an ecological fallacy.
We can't actually experiment ethically by controlled studies by giving some guys microplastics and others are kept pure. So we use large study groups using statistical controls rather than experimental designs. These can be good at showing correlation but not so much on causation.
The lower sperm quality could just as well be from the plethora of vaxxes given, industrial chemicals, tighty whitey underwear, etc.

Here's a final installment in my series on how polls could go wrong next week. This time, I show evidence that pollsters may not be reaching enough Trump voters from red, rural areas"
Morris led 538 through 2020 and got fired from it because he was so bad at polling analysis.
If he's saying that the polling could easily be wrong....well, we need to believe the polls from June as gospel.

Bill Cosby, Rob Lowe, Sean “Diddy” Combs.
I remember Rob Lowe got in trouble a while ago for having a threesome with an underaged girl (the two women were his hair dressers I think?) are you referencing the same thing or did he have other stuff come out?

IIRC, it was a very odd situation. The girl was of legal age to consent to sex at the time, but Lowe stupidly video-taped it, in a state where the age to consent to being videotaped having sex was older than she was.

Chronically alone females that couldn't get laid in a men's prison with a fistful of pardons because nobody with a penis can stand to look at or smell them, much less listen to them talk long enough to actually fuck them.
I've noticed there are a number of Karens in the immigration-complex that have trouble having a relationship with a western man that end up with a younger immigrant man - sometimes leading to death/rape.
I suspect the sexual aspect of some Karens' desire for open borders is being underreported, especially when you look at how much they HATE passport bros.

In today's world, where a man's word should be enough.
According to the left, it is racist to require IDs to vote, but not when it comes to attending an event with radical leftist streamer Hasan Piker.
In order to get into his recent event with Ilhan Omar, attendees had to show their ID and go through ‘airport style’ security.
Also, organizers barred the press from entering. Isn’t that what authoritarians do? Isn’t that what we have been told by the left?
In the video below, you can see a security person explaining to people in line that they are going to have to present their IDs.

That is why conservatives lose. Static defenses always give way. Instead, the 2A advocates show the way instead of mealy mouthed bullshit. 2A advocates have the gun control idiots on the defensive and by pushing the envelope in court cases and legislatively with take no prisoners, have rolled back a lot of the left's victories in gun control despite being outfunded by all the usual ngos, foundations, Democrat donors, and Mikey Bloomberg.

The cynic in me suspects that some patients still got the manual treatment.
One thing that gets trotted out every now and then is the argument that people from that era didn't understand sex and orgasms.
I think most people did.
A woman going to get her hysteria treated almost certainly knew what she was going to get even if she was probably very vague in how she described the health issue to her husband. Sort of like the medical marijuana of its day...

The story I heard about EBYT was that they all got in a typical brawl about which track to put up front. So the drums and guitar are muted because Copeland and Summers (literally) phoned in their tracks.
Luckily for their bank accounts, the bass could actually carry that one.

I was trying to figure out how many cops are black - the short answer is that they are at parity with general population in overall police forces, and are somewhat overrepresented in state & local police forces, and significantly underrepresented in federal police forces.

On Wednesday morning, two high-speed trains run by separate companies (Iryo and Renfe) crashed outside Toledo, Spain, the historic city known for its legendary steel. Over 500 people were packed onto the two trains.
As of 9:30 a.m. EST, the death toll stood at 64, and this number seems to still be rising.
More details from The U.S. Sun:
According to officials, one high-speed train collided with the rear of another service that had stopped on the line.
The high-speed impact knocked two carriages of the stationary train off the rails.
The accident involved a train from Spain‘s state-owned RENFE company and the Italian-owned private rail company, IRYO.
It appeared the RENFE train rammed the IRYO train, Spanish media reported.

For those of us who have spent our lives trying to dismantle this endlessly destructive paradigm of patriarchy, it has become increasingly clear in recent months that something more terrifying is afoot.
The wheels are off the cart. We are in the midst of a chaotic, demented acceleration of the most violent and cruel aspects of this system which has evolved into what I am calling Psychopatriarchy.
Psychopatriarchy is a reaction, a backlash against the progress we have made on all fronts: women’s rights, civil rights, immigrant rights, workers rights, trans rights etc.
It has birthed an authoritarian fascist reality, poisoning our social and psychological environment with terrorizing violence, cruelty and precarity. It has consolidated the billionaire class who are driven by the mindset summed up in the slogan “move fast and break things.” Or, one might say, grab things, rape things.

John Singer Sargent (American, 1856–1925). Madame X (Madame Pierre Gautreau) (detail), 1883–84. Oil on canvas; 82 1/8 x 43 1/4 in. (208.6 x 109.9 cm). The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, Arthur Hoppock Hearn Fund, 1916 (16.53)
Throughout his early years in Paris, Sargent built his reputation by convincing friends and notable members of fashionable society to pose for him and then exhibiting these works at the Paris Salon. This is the case with Madame X, his most famous portrait. She was Virginie Avegno Gautreau (1859–1915), an expatriate from Louisiana who was married to a French banker.
She was a familiar figure in Parisian society, known for her artful appearance, which she accentuated with dramatic cosmetics and clothing. The ambitious young Sargent was fascinated by her and undertook the portrait without a commission, hoping to enhance his reputation.
Of course, the painting was a scandalous success at the Paris Salon in 1884. Viewers and critics found the portrait offensive, ugly, and eccentric, and Gautreau and her mother begged Sargent to remove the painting from the exhibition.
Neat.

That one amuses me.
The Houston MSA is like 6 million.
And that sounds like a lot to lefties in blue cities that dominate their state.
But they have no conception that Harris only won ... Harris County by 5.5%--not like their shithole were she won by 30%+.
Oh, and I remind:
Dems used to have some 100k fake votes in Harris; every race no matter how small seemed to be won by 100k or more. But no less.
Abbott and Paxton have been cracking down of election fraud.
And the Rs are running candidates in every race this year in Harris.
And the Supreme Court says even losing candidates have standing to challenge elections.

I sense there will be a lot of questionable activity, especially where seats are competitive. I have zero confidence, based on the past, that courts will grant any relief, or that relief will be too little too late. The courts have become compromised leftist cesspools. I hope I am wrong btw.

The Irish Examiner, reporting on October 20, cited figures from Tusla, Ireland’s Child and Family Agency, which notified An Garda Síochána, the national police service, of concerns about the potential trafficking of 35 children during the year. Somalis accounted for 22 of those cases, the largest national group identified in the notifications. The figures indicate concerns about possible trafficking, not confirmation that every child was trafficked.

The Morning Report — 10/28 /26
The cause and effect are obvious: The Trump team made fighting crime a top priority — a reversal from the “criminal justice reform” emphasis of Joe Biden and #Defund Democrats — and got the expected results. Per Justice Department’s National Crime Victimization Survey, 2025 saw 2.16 million violent incidents — down from 2.83 million in 2024, for the largest single-year drop since 1973. . . . Democrat mayors are trying to claim credit for last year’s marked decline in violent crime, yet the staggering 25% drop was nationwide and came in the first year of President Donald Trump’s new term. The cause and effect are obvious: The Trump team made fighting crime a top priority — a reversal from the “criminal justice reform” emphasis of Joe Biden and #Defund Democrats — and got the expected results.And despite the ups and downs of oil and energy prices as a result of the ongoing conflict with Iran, it ultimately will stabilize and no doubt drop to lower costs as it has always done in the past in the wake of the geopolitical crisis du jour that caused the spike in the first place. So on that note, there's this item.
President Donald Trump will announce an EPA proposal on Tuesday evening gutting Biden-era regulations that placed strict limits on methane emissions from oil and gas drilling operations, the Washington Free Beacon has learned. Methane is released during the flaring of natural gas, which takes place at oil drilling operations that lack expensive capture technology. For years, environmentalists and Democrats have called for stricter regulations, including rules barring flaring, that target methane, which activists refer to as a "super pollutant" and is more potent than carbon dioxide. Overall, Tuesday's action removing methane regulations—which represents the latest major energy-related announcement Trump has made in the run-up to the upcoming midterm election—is projected to save Americans $45 billion in energy costs and lead to an extra 210 million barrels of oil and 1.41 trillion cubic feet of natural gas produced nationwide, a Trump EPA official briefed on the announcement told the Free Beacon.Oh please. This is an abject crock of shit. If methane were so lethal then how is it that the human population jumped to roughly 8 billion from an estimated 1.25 billion in 1850, which was about the start of the Industrial Revolution, when oil, coal and natural gas were produced and burned wherever civilization and human progress progressed! Therefore, If you love your children burn fossil fuels.
Here’s a question someone should ask climate expert Greta Thunberg today. What if global warming is preventing the next ice age? Wouldn’t that be a good thing for children everywhere?Of course all of this sanity could come screeching to a halt should the midterms be whole or in part taken by the Dems and certainly should a non-MAGA aligned Republican not come out on top in 2028 and for every election afterwards and our educational system not be purged of the Leftists from Pre-K through Post-Graduate. And when I say the midterms TAKEN by the Dems I mean that quite literally.
Turns out, a new study published in the highly respected journal Science says that might be exactly what’s happening right now.
The study, which goes by the unassuming title of “Late Holocene re-expansion of the Laurentide Ice Sheet,” asks whether “anthropogenic warming prevented the next glacial cycle” and finds that “it may have done just that.”
In a 2-1 decision handed down Monday, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals denied the Justice Department’s emergency request to pull those ballots out of the count while the voters’ eligibility is reviewed. The majority wrote that the government’s urgency was partly of its own making. Judge Patrick Bumatay dissented, arguing the federal government has a sovereign interest in protecting federal elections. The fight started October 15, when the DOJ sued California over a list of more than 20,000 registered voters that federal agencies had flagged as likely noncitizens. Prosecutors wanted the state to verify each name or keep those ballots separate from the rest. California refused, disputing both the underlying data and the short deadline it was given. Federal prosecutor Bill Essayli said the state made a stunning admission at a hearing a day earlier. According to Essayli, California told the court it does nothing to independently check the citizenship of its voters, and that any ballot already cast by a noncitizen would be counted if the judges did not step in. He said that is why his office asked for the emergency order, arguing that illegal votes dilute legal ones.And so it goes my friends...

Methane emissions from natural wetlands exceeds one-third of global budget. Termites, lakes, oceans, wildfires account for another ten-percent or more. Rice cultivation is between 5-8%.
So likely converting wetlands into rice fields or into something the Environmentalists hate brought down methane. Adding humans increased landfill and sewage (now 10-13%). Swapping out millions of bison for cattle is probably a wash.
I don't know what Taco Bell's contribution is, but I'm sure its significant.

It is unconscionable that a doctor would prescribe birth control for the various conditions listed in that article.
Birth control, or I should say, how long a woman has been on birth control and stopped the ovulation process is a risk factor in some forms of breast cancer. Why take these for anything other than their intended purpose and increase that risk?

Five fake Republicans. Three are leaving at the end of this year.

1) Many of the people getting those pills ARE using them for their intended purpose. The regulatory (cycles, etc.) purpose is a smoke screen for their morals.
2) Many doctors are progressive and think of the body as a mere machine, which they can regulate with chemicals. Pills and shots for EVERYTHING! Including making menstruation easier and less troublesome, or "fixing" things where those hormones might make a woman uncomfortable.

The theory behind universal suffrage is that the average voter votes for average candidates who promises them the most stuff.
When voters had real skin in the game (e.g. white male property owners who have responsibilities and ambition) then they would vote for the most capable.

All the left does is lie.
In Lubbock, both Trump and Talarico had rallies yesterday.
Trump at the Civic Center.
Talarico at (la) Fiesta.
Talarico lied and said he had 4k in there.
Lefties are all crowing how it was more than Trump a "few miles away."
The venue officially has a max capacity of 2.5-2.6k (and they'd have to be packed assholes to elbows to fit that many).
Trump?
Near 5k in the main hall where he spoke.
With a total of near 15k inside and around the venue.
All the left does is lie.

He said something interesting, that confirmed a long held belief of mine.
He said that yes, gays are a bit chattier than his straight targets, but that most everyone in DC is amazingly loose-lipped, so it's not that. It's just that, in his estimation, at least 40% of people inside the Beltway are gay, most of them closeted.
This was just an offhanded remark during a longer answer to a different question, but it lines up with my own suspicions.

ref: Tocqueville, Mill, Mencken, et al
Posted by: Community Notes
De Tocqueville does not say that. What he did say when he observed the politics in US during his visit is that there were no great political parties in the US at that time but were in the past. Tocqueville's observations are useful in many cases but his view that political parties in his day in the US were transactional comes from a Euro tradition where there was the king's party supporting the aristos and the opposition (that is where he gets his great principled party idea). Think Tories and Whigs in Britain.
Mencken was a misanthrope and hardly a systematic political philosopher. Mills had his own issues and was essentially a hot house thinker with little actual contact with the politics of his time.
I would recommend reading James Madison (associated works) and John Adams (Defense of the Constitutions of the United States books) instead. Both wrestle with human nature, past American experiences, and placing the US in context among the great debates on politics since ancient Greece.

He ended the hearing yesterday warning the DOJ to stop saying illegally voting is a federal crime and those that illegally vote will be prosecuted.
So, you can guess which way the cartel judge is going to rule--no matter how much evidence there is of illegally registered votes illegally voting.

They're using primary participation as the gauge for party registration, since the state doesn't party register.
More Democrats voted in the primary in TX than Republicans did.
So, if you use that flag, it looks like Democrats are outvoting Republicans.
Do people really think that the average voter who didn't vote in the primaries in Texas this year leans left?
It's just bad analysis.

I doubt you can ever get a 'benevolent dictator' because there is no escape from 'politics'. A dictator can 'freeze' normal politics for a time but they all die eventually and politics resumes whether you are discussing Franco, Pinochet, etc. etc. because there is no permanent victory in politics whether communists, etc.
Eventually internal contradictions cause all government regimes to fail but a system that builds in local autonomy and flexibility through multiple redundancy, um, much like Federalism, fares better to recover faster from a regime failure than any centralized system in the long run. Has to do with a pool of leadership.

Why? Because there's no game to play with party flags from primary participation. There's just party registration.
And the picture in early voting in FL is very, very stark. FL Republicans already have a lead in early voting, and voting day is going to be heavily Republican. The Democrats have no chance.
What are the odds that Texas, which is almost as far to the right as Florida is, is so completely different that Democrats win statewide there for the first time in more than 30 years?

About a couple of bishops complaining about being used by Trump.
You can be a deeply flawed person and still be a great leader (e.g. King David). You can be a perfectly nice person and lead people to moral catastrophe. Their Excellencies took Trump to task over immigration. Trump isn't stopping immigration, he's enforcing the laws that we have. I regularly see whiny-ass statements that if you don't support more welfare spending, you're not a good Christian. But nobody is suggesting we let people starve or die. We're talking shades, not colors.
But, for Catholics, you cannot vote for a candidate - no matter how "nice" otherwise - who espouses objectively wrong policies like abortion or homosexual marriage, completely contrary to doctrine. But you never hear of bishops condemning Democratic politicians for whom these are political dogma.

Your Texas voting appearances/participations are public record. If you've voted in a Primary, which party's primary is also public record. So while there's no party registration for a Texas voter, your (meta?) record is available to do algebra on.
"Past performance is no guarantee of future results."
This morning, Harris County has reported that 742,000 early voters have shown up at the polls through yesterday. For comparison, about 205,000 early voters showed up in November 2025, and 1,176,000 early voters showed up for November 2024.

That assumes that the Benevolent Dictator also "freezes" normal politics. Obama's and Biden's Handlers/Auto-Pen, and PDJT each managed to transform the political environment. The former by brute force and the police powers of the state, the latter by a mix of police powers (expelling illegal aliens) pacifying the Western Hemisphere, SoH, and via decentralization and deregulation.
In two years, there has been a huge transformation in Babylon DC. Imagine what life would be like with the removal of the tyrannical judges and gross levels of fraud that have bankrupted and demoralized the nation. When the Dictator leaves, they leave a different environment behind.

You can also argue that if the Gov't could intrude into everybody's home, like the CCP does, you could save even more children. The left has used the trope of "even if it saves one child" as an excuse to go after each and every one of our freedoms, especially our 2nd Amendment God-given right of self-protection. Gov't cannot be trusted; Gov't is only interested in its own power.
It's also our selfsame Gov't that also allowed illegal children to be trafficked by purposefully not following up on what happened to them. That allowed for the transgendering of children while hiding it from parents, or worse, taking away parental rights in the name of greedy hospitals.

Maybe the Dems strategy of running against Trump for the midterms wasn't a good idea.
What if, all it did was motivate the Trump president-only votes to come out and vote to defend him?
While the Dem president-only voters have been hearing how evil Trump must be stopped for 10+ years now?

Even though they often used honey traps, the KGB loved finding homosexuals in the US government, but not for the blackmail. The theory was that gays would bear a secret resentment to society and would thus be more willing to betray it.

I seem to remember that in 2018, the narrative of Democrat wins was that they didn't nationalize every election. They localized them, which allowed them to focus on issues other than Trump.

Lots of dictatorships fall not just because of internal contradictions and corruption, the fall because of external pressure. For decades that pressure has come largely from the US and before that Europe.
Europe is falling. Bolsonaro didn't flee Brazil to Europe. He came to the US. Where does the pressure come from if the US falls? Where do we flee?

He ended the hearing yesterday warning the DOJ to stop saying illegally voting is a federal crime and those that illegally vote will be prosecuted.
So, you can guess which way the cartel judge is going to rule--no matter how much evidence there is of illegally registered votes illegally voting.
Because his feelz is the law, not the law.
And he feelz the browns should be able to vote no matter how many laws say it's illegal for them to vote.

People used to read anthologies and genre writers could place decent paying stories in publications at the time whether in Mystery, Sci Fi, or Fantasy. Those have disappeared along with most magazines nowadays.
Perhaps they will return, mebbe they will not. And writers who are doing it for a living or even as a side gig are not going to do much with short stories that don't pay as they often take as much if not longer time to polish than a book does.
I am aware of the constraints on writers but serialization means inevitably you start getting repetition, regurgitation of past events in other books, and a stacking effect where the challenges have to get greater and greater. That in part is why a fair chunk of serials deal with a military career as they rise in rank (or like Monster Hunter world or Jim Butcher's Dresden series, a career type progression where the threats get greater and greater scaling upwards to "ludicrous speed)".

Turnout in 2024 will be higher than turnout in 2026, yes.
However, the senate race will drive turnout in Texas up and drag the national average up as well. Contentious senate races juice turnout in the states that have them to the point where they often become 80-90% turnout of the presidential election.
Yes, it will be high turnout this year in Texas, a state that went Trump+14.

Yep. If you had asked the same question in the US colonies after the French and Indian War, the result would probably be even fewer supporting independence from Britain. Took over a decade for repeated insolence and mistreatment by Britain to create enough dissatisfied people to strike out for independence.
Carney is leading Canada into a financial implosion as he is destroying existing markets for Canadian goods in the US without an adequate replacement as neither EU nor China want competition for their own economies.
Things are going to get much worse economically in Canada until they figure out how to replace the US as a market. The obverse is simply not nearly as big an issue for the US as we are seeing.

I agree with everything you wrote.
After losing employment and taking SS, I've dabbled in writing as I've said here before.
There is almost no place to send short stories anymore. I had one contest winner - thanks to people here - that was going to be published, but the editor's wife got sick and the magazine was shut down. I get nothing now from it.
I don't like the idea of series either as I see it as a cheap way to write. But, the market is dictating otherwise as this time, so I have five books I'm writing in the same universe. Don't like it, but have no choice.*

In this case, it is due primarily to GOPe senators that refuse to recess allowing Trump to fill in offices in blue areas and the idiotic blue slip policy that Grassley follows in the Senate Judiciary that permits Senate Democrats to veto all Trump appointees in their state preventing the GOP Senate from voting to fill them.
The probably unconstitutional law (after the Slaughter decision) allowing judges to fill DA vacancies then would never have come into play absent the disgusting turds of the Senate Leadership and their cowardly cronies in the caucus letting them refuse to recess.

Wish you well. Lots of readers disagree with me and like series as their time investment is less. But I do see from Correia's blog, that a number of readers want to make sure they can get the whole series rather than be stuck like Game of Thrones dude that simply cannot write the final book in that series for whatever reason.
So I think doing all the books in a series before publishing might make sense and it probably makes it easier on continuity errors and other problems that derive from a very long series of books involving substantial amount of time between books.

"Because of the polls!"
*most generic congressional ballot polling, the final polls, are herding to somewhere between D+4 and D+8.*
Low end of that, Democrats have trouble winning the House. At the high end, they win the House, but gerrymandering has made the ceiling of districts low, so it'll be a small majority. And when the GCB was D+9 in 2018, the GOP still netted 2 senate seats because senate races more closely align with PVI of the states than swing with the rest of the nation, so they'll get NC and...like nothing else.

There was no federal race in Texas in 2022 statewide.
Senate races drive up turnout to more closely reflect PVI of the state overall, which eliminates turnout differential advantages for parties out of power.
Turnout is up in the 180 counties that went Trump+50 as well.

The BBC observed that “a local official blamed the attacks on a newly formed rebel coalition, the Alliance for Survival, which includes the Oromo Liberation Army (OLA).”

It's why no state has gone +10 towards a president of a party and then flipped the senate race in the next midterms to the other party since 2006.
Not in wave years like 2010, 2014, or 2018. Not in trickle years like 2022.
And 2006 was...weird. It was Tester in Montana.

From above, "The fight started October 15, when the DOJ sued California over a list of more than 20,000 registered voters that federal agencies had flagged as likely noncitizens. Prosecutors wanted the state to verify each name or keep those ballots separate from the rest. California refused, disputing both the underlying data and the short deadline it was given."
And, from yesterday's blog, Oh My Word: There's Another Form of Rampant Immigration Fraud That No One Could Possibly Have Imagined—Disinformation Expert Ace
Where am I going with this? It's complicated but U.S. Department of Labor, OSHA, U & T Visa Certifications. On March 30, 2023, the agency began exercising authority to complete U and T visa certifications for certain victims of crimes and trafficking.
Strictly through the Federal government's DOL offices, visa certifications issued would be extremely low to negligible. The catch is, there are 29 OSHA-approved State Plans, 22 of which cover both private-sector workers and state and local government.
Again, keeping it simple, some examples of State Plans vs. the U&T Visa programs:

Washington: Within its Department of Labor & Industries (L&I), it has been written that the state actively connects crime and trafficking victims to its Crime Victims Compensation Program and handles processing for qualifying workplace crime protections.
Minnesota: Operates a highly organized system under its OSHA-approved State Plan umbrella. The parent agency, the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry (DLI) maintains an active, formal program to evaluate and issue U and T visa certifications.
New York: Both Fed and state jurisdictions. The NY State Department of Labor reportedly has a "well established, public protocol to sign supplemental form for immigrant victims of "severe workplace crimes or trafficking detected by state labor investigators."
VA and MD with have 'the' state laws that allow for the issuance of U & T visa certifications for labor and workplace violations.
Posted by: L - No nic.... at October 28, 2026 10:18 AM (NFX2v)
The US Department of Labor OSHA policy rollout was under the Biden administration and, reportedly, driven by heavy backing from labor unions and immigrant advocacy groups who spent years lobbying for it "to level the playing field." If bad-actor employers could no longer use immigration status as a weapon for retaliation, it would - in theory - make it easier to organize those shops and report occupational S&H violations across industries such as, but not limited to, roofing, agriculture and warehousing.
Surely, integrity is built into the Federal programs. But could it be used, especially in some State Plan States, in those rare cases for those immigrant workers such as the Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia? Or for union organizing in, say, Virginia? And, of course, for and on voters rolls in many State Plan States. 🤷♀️

Yes, it's back. Though this time it's a bit of a guessing game; instead of using a 2048-bit (256 byte) key, it actually uses an 8-bit key.
Oh, and it only really uses three of those eight bits; only eight values are possible - 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, and 128.

Felt very good about being a voting poll observer here yesterday in Israel. No digital voting or ballot reading or punching machines. Simple paper slips with each party's registered acronym on one side.
Each polling station has a committee who have to follow strict rules and keep an eye on everything and each other in check, if need be. Observers get to watch each voter go behind a booth, request to see that enough ballot slips remain in their trays and, should there be an objection, it must be registered in a protocol log.
Each voter is verified with valid national ID and verification by 2 committee members that they are registered to vote at this station. Envelopes for voting slips are co-signed by 2 committee members before being handed to a voter.
The vote counting after 10PM is very strict. Everything is double-verified by all present.
Got home at 20 minutes after midnight. Observers in some stations don't get home till 4AM, depending on number of votes in station and vote validation issues.
This is what any country with voting standards needs to revert to!
Exercise time!

My Aikido school operates out of a rec center attached to an elementary school. When we arrived, we discovered that our parking lot had been taken over by a Trunk or Treat event. Teacher called the county rec department and the answer was "Oh, they'll be done by 0645!" (Our class starts at 7).
We ended up parking in a section that had not been taken over and we had a new student show up. So things worked out.

Wait until he weighs eight or ten pounds!
According to various spots around the 'Net, the purpose of Nat'l Black Cat Day is in part to raise awareness of their low adoption rate as well as to dispel old superstitions. Personally, I think a black cat is usually a good bet as a companion. I've known three well, and they've all been easygoing and adaptable, and possibly smarter than average. Of course they were medium- or long-hairs.
The SPCA and shelters here used to have a rule, no black cat adoptions during October. Now they often offer specials on black cats all year 'round.

The financial fine print is nearly as daunting. As we detailed in Monday's S-1 teardown and our earlier look at its leaked prospectus, first-half 2026 revenue surged 14-fold to $16.3 billion, briefly yielding a $974 million Q2 operating profit. Yet over 55 cents of every revenue dollar flows straight back out to compute providers. Anthropic carries an $800 billion mountain of multi-year compute commitments - including $161.2 billion to Broadcom, $114.5 billion to Google (following April's $40 billion pact), $110 billion to AWS, and $120.5 billion to SpaceX - while its fortress governance gives public buyers virtually no voting power.

Tuesday Overnight Open Thread - October 27, 2026
Howdy Hordelings! The Tuesday ONT has arrived. On time, as always. Open thread, as always. Ready to be whelmed? [I won't be on until late this evening. Photo and mystery click are clues as to where I am and why I'll be late!]
Route 66 Turns 100 What's left of it anyway The rise and fall of Route 66
In the 1940s and '50s, Route 66 was one of America's most popular highways, driving business to small towns from Chicago to Santa Monica. But today, the road and its people have been largely forgotten. Ghost towns, empty motels, and abandoned gas stations line its path. Chief correspondent Abby Narishkin grew up along the road. In celebration of its 100th anniversary, she drove down the old route herself to visit the people and businesses still keeping this Americana legacy alive.Video segment at the link *** Keeping "The Mother Road" alive This motel is keeping the history of Route 66 alive with its wigwam rooms
U.S. Highway 66, also known as “the Mother Road,” was built in 1926 to connect Chicago to Los Angeles. Historians say Route 66 became a lifeline during the Great Depression, a major corridor during World War Two, and later a symbol of freedom for postwar families traveling west. As the interstate system expanded, it gradually replaced Route 66, leaving many mom-and-pop stops behind. But the Wigwam Motel in Holbrook, Arizona is one of the businesses still standing along the historic highway. *** “It’s America, it’s amazing, they don’t write songs about I-10, they write songs about Route 66,” Richards said. Richards said fewer places like the Wigwam Motel remain today. “These we’re losing more of these places -- we’re not really gaining them,” Richards said.Video segment at that link too. As for the well known song about Route 66, I'm partial to this version
*** The "anti-Route 66"? Route 66’s unsung alternative, with historic inns and misty mountains
Sometimes travelling through the sugar-maple forests of Vermont feels faintly absurd. I was canoeing across a blue-green lake, deep in the Green Mountains, in the pearl glow of sunset. My paddle sang through the water as flutelike birdsong filled the silence. Blue jays whistled. Damselflies hovered. This was prime black bear habitat, but I saw no signs. Instead, a bass breached the surface. Zoom out to a drone’s-eye view — above the water, above the beaver dam, above my lakeshore log cabin at Sterling Ridge Resort in Jeffersonville — and you’d see that there was no one else around *** Five days earlier, in late June, I had flown to Boston, picked up a rental car and driven 150 miles northwest into the Green Mountain State, the mercury nudging 30C [86F], to begin my journey along Route 100, which would eventually end up here. I was chasing the most wholesome road trip possible, one with historic inns, misty mountains and dairy farms reached by slow, radio-static country roads — an anti-Route 66, if you like. It’s easy to find that here, plus hippy-dippy liberalism, fierce small-town identity and an almost suspicious amount of cheese. We all pine to hide in the woods sometimes, and I wanted the jazzy moo of dairy cows, the burble of waterfalls and nowhere much to be. If Vermont is beautiful in summer, I could only imagine how spectacular the state’s sorbet-shaded foliage, abundance of pumpkin farms and explosive mountain light would be in leaf-peeping season.Nice photos at the link.

You can still find old sections of Route 66 nearby that are a few miles off the main highway (I-44).

Nope. I'd prefer a high-level camera crew is assembled and she is dropped in shark-infested waters. But only after the water has been thoroughly chummed.
She hates this country. She had the nerve to think she should *lead* the very country she hates. She deserves the outcome I proscribed.

Posted by: Count de Monet at October 27, 2026 10:13 PM (wVcYX)
My birthday is rare. Which makes sense.
When I worked in the newborn nursery and NICU we were always busy in August/September from the Christmas and New Year's babies arriving.
Also if there was a hurricane in September, we would be busy in June.
Storms predict not only dumps of snow or rain, but 9mo later a lot of new babies.
I don't have any idea what a slug sandwich is. That's pretty weird. For FL, yeah, a good Cuban is great.

All the common days are June-October, implying that people have nothing better to do in the winter months than get it on.
And I didn't realize induced or c-section "planned" births were that common.
So many people intentionally not having kids on the holidays, or on the 13th of the month.
But a big spike in the last two weeks of the year, minus Christmas day, for the tax write-off.

I used to be good friends with a professional chef who worked for a major record producer. He pretty much ate nothing but something called “tofu pups”. Now, she did also make the food for the rest of his staff, so she did get to make food beyond microwaving fake hot dogs, but it always annoyed her that the guy she actually worked for didn’t eat anything other than fake food.

Relatively productive day, job-search-wise. Interview seemed to go okay, we'll see if I make it to the next round. Couple screening calls for other positions that would also be good. Tomorrow I teach again, a different group at a different school. Haven't heard back from the interview I made the road trip for - should hear by the end of the week. I need to prep the coffee before I fall asleep.
Tomorrow we also have a Halloween function at church, then Saturday night I get to have the locusts descend.

I saw it back in May. It is fun to view. I did not indulge in the spray painting. The paint is over a half inch thick in some places. The break chips of the thick paint off, and slab and polish it to make costume jewelry. Kind of cool, I thought. Consider it to be an audience-participation art installation, minus all the pretentiousness that usually attends "art installations".

Posted by: "Perfessor" Squirrel at October 27, 2026 10:19 PM (FZ29D)
Probably sloth. Full moon was yesterday.

Wolf (I'm a traditionalist at heart.) Slightly contagious, though cháin mail (preferably with some silver integrated into it) would be more effective than a mask.
In re: Sloth--Would you really expect a timely transformation from ME?

I don't remember them originally, probably because there was some variant of "Teepee style" motor court (that was the name for "motel" then) repeatedly on the route from Oklahoma on, but I see the Wigwams now on every trip heading west for any destination except SoCal or Phoenix.

The word "thinking" doesn't generally apply to me. So there's that. But there's also Trump's ability to find the weak spot.
He offers her a pardon. She accepts it, and she is forever compromised and her power is gone. The Left would see her as tainted beyond redemption.
She refuses the pardon. She goes back to Somalia. Where, let's be honest here, she's raped and murdered.
I don't see a downside.

Rep.

And I didn't realize induced or c-section "planned" births were that common.
Posted by: mikeski at October 27, 2026 10:16 PM (VHUov)
Our 2nd boys birthday was May 28th. Because of a scheduled c-section (due to his big headed brother and father), he was to be delivered a week early. One aunt had a bday of May 20, an uncle, May 22nd.
So his Mama chose his birthday as May 21st.
They try to do this to make sure their lungs are mature. Now they have better technology and, heck, every baby has a few ultrasounds. In 1984, unless medically needed, insurance didn't pay.
So both boys were surprises. I wanted a boy the first time and never set my heart on a girl the second. A healthy baby boy was wonderful and the only thing I wanted both times.
To select a holiday or whatever is a bit weird, but I guess I did similar so he didn't share a birthday. Plus his aunt is weird.

Re The Office Halloween.
Nothing will ever beat the Reno 911 kids' tour of the sheriff's station. Officer Junior mixes it up with a "motherfucker" in detention, apologizes to the kids for the smell of jizz in an empty jail cell, tells an incidental story of how a deputy got electrocuted unlocking a jail cell (fried his belt buckle, which slid down and sliced his testicles off), gives them a lesson on making jailhouse hooch from raisins or tomatoes, advises them on how to avoid getting "assfucked" by some of the bigger fellas, and describes a "circle the wagons" incident that made them bolt the bunks to the wall.

Speaking of times, I saw that guy Bongingo (sp?no care!) in the UK DM says to "stock up." Like the UK govt told their people yesterday: beans and diapers...which make sense. If you are in a nuke war and eat a lot of canned beans you are going to need diapers.
We lived 30yrs in FL and are always sort of stocked up. Then le covide and more. We do need bottled water and, by golly, we will have TP.
I think there will be some boom booms after the midterms, no matter who wins in Iran. However, I don't see that as the reason. I am confused and it's probably due to lack of sleep for over a month.

Well, it's single-phase AC through a bridge rectifier. But I just realized why it didn't work. The 12 volt output floats; not grounded. Ignition module is grounded. I only connected the (+) wire. Doh! I will re-check it tomorrow. Now I don't know if the 12 volt output will deliver enough juice at cranking speed to fire the ignition. Somehow, I doubt it. But if it will run itself, once started, then I can get away with maybe 8 double-A cells in holders, to provide a couple of amps at 12 volts for the few seconds it takes to crank it up.

We filed for divorce in 1776 and finally resolved it by 1783. The ex-wife tried to change the terms of the divorce in 1812-1815, but despite her best efforts achieved nothing. Since then we’ve helped her out in her conflicts with her neighbors, twice, but got no lasting gratitude. She’s been a whiny so and so for the longest time since then, but she’s not our responsibility anymore, especially since she’s taken up with these third world low lifes she keeps inviting into her home. I hear they’re abusing her children, but she doesn’t seem to care. At least they’re not our children.

I'm getting all hot an bothered about ED 138, the new potential dwarf planet just discovered by Vera Rubin. Well, they've been tracking it since March, but just announced it today. It's about 46 au distance now, and they've got a half-assed orbit for it, but high error bars.
When they get around to it, which may take a while, they'll turn Hubble and JWST on it, and will get the orbit pinned down. And, it will most likely have a moon(let), which Hubble can easily see, and that will determine the mass.

I just got to reading about the next leap in atomic clock tech -- the optical atomic clock. This will use visible light frequencies rather than microwave frequencies. This will get the precision to 1/10^18 to 1/10^19.
At this level, the clocks will not also see changes in tick rate due to the sun and Moon tidal field and the earth's orbital variations, but to tiny shifts in the local mass.
Get a heavy rain and the ground gets saturated with water? The additional mass will slow the clocks. High pressure system moves in? The additional mass will show up in tick rate. Magma moving around underneath? They will see it.
This is going to open up whole new avenues of geodesy, using just clocks. Time itself.

They're almost of the verge of something profound with these new time precision. At that 10^-18/19 level optical atomic clocks across the globe can act as low frequency gravitational wave detectors. This has profound cosmological purpose. While with light, you can only look back so far, absolute limit somewhere under 400K year limit of cosmic time.
The gravitational wave background, roughly analgous to the CMB, can go back to the very beginning.
They've already confirmed this "gravitional wave hum" exists, it's just getting all the different signals separated out that is the problem. These clocks will be able to do some of that. This should be able to see an "inflation" signal. And the nature of the waves will shed light on how that worked.
I expect we're going to see some amazing cosmological discoveries made.

Um, Doof? A Coney Dog (Michigan) and a Seattle Dog (Washington State) are both hot dogs. Never heard of the Rhode Island "Hot Weiner" but it's some sort of hot dog as well with an unfortunate name.
On the rest of the states, I would just want to say that a "tofu wrap" (Oregon, of course) sounds like an abomination.
Also, I am surprised that hot dog is not the choice in Illinois as I have had many a "Chicago dog" "dragged through the garden" in the Windy City. Also I looked up Illinois sandwiches and another choice is the "Horseshoe Sandwich." Per Wiki: "The horseshoe is an open-faced sandwich originating in Springfield, Illinois, United States. It consists of thick-sliced toasted bread (often Texas toast), a hamburger patty or other choice of meat, French fries, and cheese sauce." Sounds downright unhealthy, in a tasty damn-I-want-to eat-that way

But yet, it's fun to shit back on them sometimes.

You might look into getting one of those PWS stations yourself. If you're into this, it can be quite fascinating to see all the data and how things behave, seeing the patterns and what they tell you is happening or about to happen.

I can understand that, indeed. Well, just enjoy looking at the nearby stations. I know a lot of people just don't bother to properly set their barometers for relative/altimeter and all that. Still, the changes tell you a lot, but it annoys me they get all mixed up.

Here's a simple online table for pressure correction to sea level (assuming standard atmosphere). This is all they need to do. Get your elevation, find the offset:
https://t.ly/uZStY
For me, I used the barometric equation directly to get an offset of 0.88" Hg. And that's been dead-on with the airports nearby.
Now, when you've got some dynamic weather going on, you'll get horizontal differences, but in calm fair weather, it will be dead-on the same.
You'll not some people don't bother at all, they just leave it at absolute pressure. Others will do some half-assed attempt and make it even worse.

The NWS has some guidelines about thermometer setups. The idea is you want the air temperature, and don't want the effects of sunlight hitting the sensor. So you need shielding from sunlight, but yet you want airflow.

It varies a good bit, a rough linear approximation is 0.1" Hg per 100'.

They're kind of cute, and just go about their business.
My big fear is the skunks in the neighborhood. I was taking a walk and absently rolled past what I took for a black squirrel and then realized my mistake as it turned and took a couple of skips to open up the distance.
The deer around here are so tame that a doe on the bike path tried to stare me down rather than run. Weird.

H. Beam Piper knew his history better than a lot of history professors. His Future History is loaded with considering past events as projected into the future. Jerry Pournelle who actually met and talked with Piper before Piper's untimely demise had rights to do stories in Piper's TFH universe but quickly figured out along with John Carr that the sheer amount of historical research needed would simply be too much.
Lord Kalvan of Otherwhen, especially if you like firearms, is a great book to read if you have never read Piper before.
Frankly, I like Piper a lot more as an author than Isaac Asimov in the future history business. Piper's characters had a lot more life in them as well as humor than Asimov's.

I had it figured at about a dozen competitive races in the House left simply by looking at where parties were still spending money on ads. Glad for external confirmation.
Too tired and old nowadays to do the computations of hard stats anymore as I've been there done that in the past.
But Trump is a political phenomenon comparable only the Asimov's Mule in derailing Globo Homo. The question for us is what to do when he is no longer president and we have to use these next two years to change the arc for the next decade.
Financial rectification of excessive government debt is coming for all the West and we come out least scathed if we have strong domestic productive industries going into the hurricane and that includes continuing energy independence.

"It’s not surprising to see ratings at “60 Minutes” slump when CBS doesn’t air a strong football game before the start of the show. But the program’s performance on Sunday, which lacked exactly that kind of NFL lead-in, is alarming nonetheless.
The fifth episode of this season’s cycle of the venerable CBS newsmagazine drew only 5.64 million viewers, one of the smallest audiences for the program in years, according to data from Nielsen. The show captured a mere 558,000 among viewers between 25 and 54, the demographic coveted most by advertisers in news programming."
Meet the Press too had 80% plus of their audience over age 54. Let me check about one more thing.
Chat says if people fall asleep, leave the room or whatever, they are still counted. I leave the tv on all the time for noise so these crappy news ratings are even worse. Sweet.

Puff and Ruth are going to the vet tomorrow for their shots so we did some grooming and nails. Ruth, who is more placid, wailed and struggled through her nail trimming. Puff, who is a deranged maniac, stood calmly through the process.

Space Viking was what Pournelle and Carr thought was the most dense distillation of history employed in a short story that meant an incredible act to follow. Carr said as much as much of the burden on the research to write a successor to that story fell to him.
Piper's "The Edge of a Knife" short story actually has a character predicting many of the future events that Piper had sketched out for his TFH series as a professor who gets declared insane due to him unwittingly revealing insights to the future in his class.

He was, and had talks with Piper. Pournelle was going to write on in the Sword Worlds universe but he had other things he wanted to do instead.
Pournelle had a far different voice than Piper, and much harsher view of humanity. The Mote in God's Eye universe was closer, but it was much more rigid.
Michael Kurland wrote some Piper pastiches based in part on some fragmentary plotting notes, but it was more of an extension of the notes more than a polished story. Kurland did have a better prose style than Pournelle though.

Possibly. Laumer's Retief series is hilarious but there is an interesting novella early on (Diplomat at Arms) that is Retief at the end of his career instead of the beginning and it is much less comedic. Magnan comes off much worse in this one as a despicably evil bureaucrat. Probably Laumer knew this and moved his future Retief stories to be much lighter in tone and substance.

It depends on us, and the reaction depends on Trump. Realistically, Congress is broken and has not helped America for decades. Trump has a good Cabinet, but the lower ranks are still filled with Quislings. Judges *Spit*.
The Reps can't even pass the SAVE Act. So it is Trump with Executive Actions, and maybe calling the People to help America. I do believe the Military as a whole will stop things if the Left gets out of hand. It would be safer to let them do it than citizens (who have deep grudges and a lot of firepower).

Actually I did buy "Great Kings War" which is a Lord Kalvan sequel but seems to be drifting away from the first book's impression of the impact of the fireseed secret and the lack of organization of his opponents. Suddenly there are Styphon loyalists all over moving armies all over the chessboard. Otherwise its OK.

I have that one along with the rest of his novels (not including the short stories I think). Grim story line compared with others as Dominic Flandry can see the human empire failing but fights his best to hold off the fall.
You might enjoy the Sten Chronicles by Chris Bunch and Allen Cole which are similar in tone.

Probably because too many people in the sci fi community at the time promoted the ridiculous idea that Heinlein was a fascist due to Starship Troopers.
Like that scrunt that did the movie of it. Heinlein was ardently anti communist which by the sixties put him well out of the mainstream of sci fi writers at the time.

He's no longer writing fiction (91 -- he doesn't need to), and I saw part of an interview at some convention from early this year; he looked pretty frail. 91 will do that to you. But for my money he bought his way into Writers' Heaven with Dying Inside and The Book of Skulls. YMMV.
There's a Joe Haldeman that never got the press that The Forever War did; it's a mainstream novel called 1968 and it's a terrific piece of work. Again YMMV.

"Bunch and Cole began writing for television in the late 1970s, eventually selling more than 150 scripts together over the course of their partnership. Working under executive producer Glen A. Larson, the pair contributed two episodes to Buck Rogers in the 25th Century (1980) and co-wrote the pilot of The Misadventures of Sheriff Lobo with Larson. Their other television credits included The Incredible Hulk, Quincy, M.E., Magnum, P.I., B.J. and the Bear, The Rockford Files, Hunter, The A-Team, The Smurfs, and Walker, Texas Ranger. They wrote the A-Team episode "Pure-Dee Poison" (1984) and served as story editors on the supernatural drama Werewolf.
Bunch and Cole, who had not previously worked on Battlestar Galactica, were hired as two of three story editors on its sequel series, Galactica 1980.[ According to the pair, they had not sought the position; they said a Universal Television executive threatened to bar them from future work at the studio if they declined the assignment."

Quick Hits
Noted True Conservative David French says that the public's revulsion over fraud will cause them to vote for the Democrat Party he supports, despite being so Conservatively Conservative.
Once you start looking for blue state fraud, you can't stop finding it. It's everywhere. Pretty famously, HHS shut down 800 hospices and home health agencies in Los Angeles that were suspected of fraud, including billing Medicare but having no patients. Name something more obvious about blue states in 2026: Fraud is everywhere, and everyone knows it. So here's how David French guesses the upcoming elections will end, writing his groveling cuckold newsletter in The New York Times yesterday: "Imagine that it's January 2027 and Democrats hold both chambers of Congress. They've been elected in a wave of public outrage over inflation, the war in Iran, and -- crucially -- public corruption. In fact, a Fox News poll taken shortly before the election showed that 'corruption in government' was the top concern of voters, even greater than inflation." Yes, voters outraged by corruption will punish the Republicans who are causing it, and turn instead to the brave Democrats who stand so passionately committed to eradicating it.
Kurt Schlichter decides he wants in on David French's grift.
Kurt SchlichterAs you know, I'm a lifelong liberal Democrat myself. I've voted for Kamala Harris six times, three times in the 2024 election alone. But now I am scandalized by the Democrat Party and will do something I have never before done: vote for a Republican. I'm sure that most of you are also Lifelong Liberal Democrats who are feeling the same way. Some Biblical scholarship:
@KurtSchlichter 21h As a strong liberal who voted for Obama and Biden three times each, I am very concerned about the radicalism of many Democrat candidates and will, for the first time ever, vote for the Republicans all up and down my ballot. I didn't want to but I feel my principles leave me with no choice.
Aelfred The GreatNY Governess Kathy Hochul: Jews are sympathetic when they are being blown up and raped by Muslim terrorists, but the moment they fight back, they lose the sympathy of the left.
@aelfred_D Oct 26 "Sodom and Gomorrah" leans real hard on Sodom Everyone refers to Sodom, sodomy is a thing, sodomite, etc etc Gomorrah's just slowly tiptoeing away like "who's to say what we did"
Gov. Kathy Hochul insisted Tuesday that her job governing New York would be "a lot easier" if Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lost the high-stakes election in the Jewish state. The Democratic governor, who is also facing a challenge this year, said in an interview with Politico Magazine that Netanyahu's "overreach" in response to the horrific Oct. 7 Hamas terror attack has created issues here in New York. "I went to Israel right after Oct. 7. I saw a lot of pain there. But I actually cautioned the government there, in private conversations, not to overreach," Hochul said."Overreach" = fight the implacable terrorist army that has been trying to exterminate you for generations So suck it up, Buttercups! This poll seems like fake news to me, but... A McLaughlin poll claims that Jewish voters have shifted decisively.
"The world is with you when it comes to the brutal assault by a terrorist organization known as Hamas on innocent Israeli people. An overreach could change that dynamic, and that's what's happened."
Republicans lead Democrats by 31 points among Jewish voters on the congressional ballot, according to a McLaughlin & Associates poll that points to a potential shift among a group that has long favored Democrats. The poll found that 64 percent of Jewish voters backed Republicans for Congress, while 33 percent supported Democrats, pollsters John and Jim McLaughlin wrote in an article published by the firm Monday. The result would mark a major shift from the large margins by which Jewish voters have traditionally favored Democrats, though pollsters John and Jim McLaughlin warned that the sample of Jewish voters was small.The journal "Men and Masculinities" will no longer refer to individuals as being "male." Because this is ClownWorld.
Wesley Yang responds to one of the tranny Wachowski brothers' latest claims that there's a "trans genocide" going on and just reading a JK Rowling book contributes to it.
Colin Wright
@SwipeWright
🚨ALERT: The editors of the journal Men and Masculinities will no longer allow authors to refer to individuals as being "male." If an author uses the term, they should "specify which dimension(s) of sex are at issue, since sex itself refers to several only loosely correlated dimensions rather than a single underlying fact." For example, trans-identifying male swimmer Lia Thomas must be referred to as a woman, and his maleness, if mentioned at all, must be attached to specific traits, like genitals, hormones, and chromosomes. You cannot call Lia Thomas a "male" in this journal, but a woman with "male genitals" and "male sex chromosomes." The first author of this editorial--the Managing Editor of Men and Masculinities, Tristen Kade--is a woman who identifies as a man. The model of biological sex this editorial is pushing is what I refer to in my scholarly article "Why There Are Exactly Two Sexes" as the "multi-level" sex model. This model is not merely wrong--it is self-refuting. From my article: "Traits are labeled 'male-typical' or 'female-typical' only because they correlate with organisms already identified as male or female--an identification that, in anisogamous species, is made ultimately by reference to gametes." Read my article at this link.

@wesyang 21h Things that are not genocide: -- When a man seeks to join a woman's rugby team and is told he cannot join because he is a man but is eligible to join the team corresponding to his sex.
-- When a man is told he cannot use the ladies changing room but must use the changing room that corresponds to his sex.
-- When a male murderer who says he is a woman is told he must remain in a prison with other men rather than be transferred to a women's prison based on his claim to be a woman.
-- When the state declines to pay for a man's castration
-- When the state declines to pay for a man's mandibular reconstruction surgery.
-- When a passport or driver's license lists the material fact of a man's sex instead of his private reverie to be a woman
-- When a person remains free to refer to the material fact of a person's sex rather than being coerced by state power into joining in a person's attempted falsification of this fact
-- When a 9-year old child is judged ineligible to be prescribed an off-label cancer drug in order to freeze him in a pre-pubertal state so as to better mimic the appearance of a member of the opposite sex Not only are none of these acts genocidal, none of them violate any right that any person has. If they were granted, as they have been in many states, they would simply be discretionary entitlements being handed out by the state to a legally privileged caste of person at the expense of the rights of others. Where they are being removed, it is simply a reversion to a status quo without a legally privileged caste being rewarded with special rights that come at the expense of the rights and finances of others. Glad to clear this confusion up, guys -- I expect you will now desist from claiming that you are victims of a genocide when you are not victims of rights violation of any kind.

BREAKING: Despite allegedly lying to Congress about her role in the Hunter Biden laptop probe; falsely labeling (in coordination w/ Dems) a GOP inquiry into Biden-Chinese graft as "Russian disinformation;" and covering up evidence of Chinese election interference in 2020, now-arrested FBI official Nikki Floris was nonetheless promoted by FBI chief Chris Wray in 2022, making her the first person to hold the position of Intelligence Analyst in Charge at an FBI field office (D.C.). In 2020, FBI agents warned Floris "China's trying to influence the election in favor of Biden," but Floris (who recently joined Obama Russiagate conspirator Lisa Monaco at Microsoft) told them to stand down and later bragged in an internal FBI message: "i'm basically running a shadow government."
"When we think about floating, truly floating, we have to look at the butterfly, don’t we? And the butterfly, it doesn’t just float. It operates within the context of the air around it. You have to look at the significance of the passage of time when the bee decides to sting. Because a sting is not just a moment. It is a process. It is time for us to do what we have been doing, and that is stinging, and that time is every day. it’s about the capacity of the float and the significance of the sting. (Cackles). It really is."

Change that to "amongst the largest" for ED 138. Pluto and Eris still are the largest. Pluto is slightly larger in diameter, but Eris is more massive.
So this thing will be in the top 7 diameter wise. Right it's just a ballpark guess, but it's diameter is somewhere around 400 - 900 miles. And no clue about mass yet.

So when Jesus says "Remember Lot's wife" it's a term of praise.
That was an interesting thought, to say the least. It was connected with "she was turned into a pillar of salt" and the whole "ye are the salt of the earth" idea from Jesus.

Poll (Jewish Voters Research Center) shows two-thirds of U.S. Jewish voters will favor Democrats in November. Despite tensions over Israel and rising antisemitism, respondents made antisemitism their third concern, after affordability and the future of democracy. Israel ranked fifth.
they're not stupid - they can recognize that there are literal Nazis in the GOP.
For context, this is about 7 percentage points lower than baseline, given the expected partisan fundamentals this year. Jewish supports for Dems has dropped despite the fact that this year is expected to be about 6 percentage points bluer than 2024.
Many Republicans, leaders included, are just straight up anti-Semetic or say anti-semetic things all the time. Like Vivek who is running to be my governor, said the other day that an attack on Jews is an attack on capitalism. It’s an insane thing to say, because it’s just a version of the anti-Semitic trope that Jews are the money guys.
What is the Republican Party doing to counter Nick Fuentes and Tucker Carlson,s overt antisemitism?

When the Transmorphing Tittering Rules appear I get a tic in my left eye, then both eyes roll to the back of my head to see my frontal cortex. Similar to how I was my first day of physics with 100 boys when the professor, who was important or something, shot a cannon across the auditorium at my new university. I didn't see the point.
Then the bookstore didn't have textbooks for 3 weeks and it was downhill from there for me. I don't care that my TA later at a party told me I shouldn't have dropped. I informed him that unless he took the tests for me there was no way I was going to pass. No freaking way.
As it was I was working hard to pass pre-med chemistry and anatomy and physiology and a random psych class I hated. I made A's in A&P as I loved it. Not the cadever in the lab, but it was interesting.
Women centric I am.

Would be a felony as up to five years in prison sentence is at stake. Reporting is horrendous but no mention is made of a grand jury indictment on this charge. So they are submitting evidence to a magistrate for charges by information which require a magistrate judge (not the same one in the original complaint btw) to sign off on probable cause for arrest and probably associated search warrants.

Pretty much bullshit. Archaeological evidence indicates both identified sites were destroyed by fire and brimstone can still be found around those areas actually.
Brave AI
"Sulfur nodules, often referred to as brimstone, are found in the Dead Sea basin, specifically in the southwestern region near Masada and the site identified by some researchers as Tall el-Hammam. These nodules are described as golf ball-sized spheres composed of 95-98% pure white monoclinic sulfur, often encased in a black crust or surrounded by burn rings embedded in ash layers. "
As usual, geologists based on materialism claim that these nodules just grew based on bacterial action. So you be the judge. But even an ancient nuclear explosion would leave tell tale markers up to today.

If remedying their evil actions and ending their evil practices results in judgment of a biblical sort, then so be it.

Instead, she screamed and lunged at him with the weedwacker. The suspect ran. But the police were able to find footage of a truck fleeing and traced it back.
