  • Scheduling service Cal.com has gone closed source in part due to AI security threats. (Cal.com)

    Cal.diy will remain as an open-source self-hosted solution for individual users. It has most of the same features except for support for teams and enterprise authentication methods.


  • Here's why that won't work. (Twitter)

    If your code is out there - even as a binary - AI tools can decompile it efficiently.

    If your API is out there, AI tools can and will scan it.

    It's an understandable move to avoid short-term risks, but the best approach is to use the same AI tools to scan for security issues yourself.

Your assignment today is to write a theme paper.

The films "Convoy" and "The Road Warrior" -- compare and contrast.

Bonus points for working in either "man's inhumanity to man" or "power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely" into your answers.

Depending upon who is writing the definition, a generation is either twenty-five tears or thirty years in length. It's the average time for a given cohort of folks to pop out the next generation of young'uns. I use thirty years.

In the ages well before now twenty-five years made more sense, or even twenty years.

Time to go stroll among my earlier times' kinfolk.

In doing this, I am beginning to grant much credence to what has been described as characteristic of the second form of Pauline epistles. That is to say, "I am as a personal favor begging you sick little freaks to act normal for five minutes."

19 I liked Convoy back in the day, but then I used to ride shotgun for a trucker I knew, and he paid me to be a hired hand. We would make grain and corn runs to Canada on a regular basis. I don't think you can do that now, with a minor.

23 Evening and morning to all on this Friday, the consummation devoutly to be wished! Today I leave for Kansas at last. I'll shower, eat a little bit, finish packing -- oh, yes, and feed the beasts -- load up the car, and I'm off. It'll be a long tough day, but there are lots of truck plazas where I can stop for quick breaks.

24 Come to think of it, "Convoy" is a darn good anthem for any road trip. As everybody here probably remembers, it was a big big hit in its day, 1975, and either kicked off the CB craze in passenger cars or picked up on it and accelerated it. Chip Fries, "C.W. McCall," was a very talented writer and producer with a solid voice, too.

36 Good morning and Happy Friday one and all. As I mentioned yesterday, my wife asked me to deliver a package of "knitted knockers" (Don't get mad. That's the name of the organization). It's basically knitted breasts for women who have had mastectomies.

The lady who will be distributing them was happily surprised not only at the quality of the work but she loved how my wife knitted pink ribbons as well. She'll be delivering them to Johns Hopkins and Cedar Sinai over the next few weeks.

Thursday Overnight Open Thread - April 16,2026 [scampydog]

Detomaso Pantera 1.jpg

1972 Detomaso Pantera owned by Jim Farley - CEO of Ford listed this car on Bring A Trailer. A lot of fun pictures of records, equipment, and of course the car. Update: Sold for $293,000

This 1972 DeTomaso Pantera was delivered new to the Aeronutronic division of Ford Aerospace for use as a pool vehicle before being registered to a private owner in Ventura, California, in July 1974. Chassis THPNMD04013 subsequently spent 18 years on display at the Yankee Candle Car Museum in South Deerfield, Massachusetts, prior to being offered on BaT in October 2018 and was subsequently repainted in its factory yellow finish that same year. The car was acquired by the current owner—President and Chief Executive Officer of the Ford Motor Company Jim Farley—on BaT in June 2024.

*****

Your normal regular Thursday host, Doof asked if I had a hankering to do an ONT. Sounded like fun, so here we are. Very irreverent this evening. Let's get to it.

*****

Socialism and Liberalism. The thrift shop of failed concepts and recycling old ideas. Same rituals.

Turns out the ancients were way ahead of the pink-haired undergrads. Modern culture decline from 2,000 years ago. We've got dancers, goats, rituals, and late night initiation ceremonies. Coachella ripped off the Pompeians - even the megalography.

Drinking Den, I guess.

The frieze depicts the procession of Dionysus, the god of wine: the bacchantes (also known as maenads) are portrayed as dancers, but also as ferocious hunters with slaughtered kid goats on their shoulders or holding a sword and the innards of an animal; young satyrs with pointed ears play the double flute, while another performs a sacrifice of wine (libation) in acrobatic style, squirting wine behind him from a drinking horn into a patera (shallow bowl). At the centre of the composition, there is a woman with an old Silenus who holds a torch, indicating that she is an initiate, a mortal woman who, through a nocturnal ritual, is about to be initiated into the mysteries of Dionysus, the god who dies and is reborn and who promises the same destiny to his followers.

Behold! The Screaming Mummy. The original Karen. She is outraged by the linen and hieroglyphs...she just cannot. The Pharaoh is sleeping in the ante-chamber.

Paleoradiological and scientific investigations of the screaming woman mummy from the area beneath Senmut’s (1479–1458 BC) Theban tomb. Some really interesting reading, published in Frontiers of Medicine. Bookmark the link and read the whole thing.

Seven of the 10 visceral organs listed in Aufderheide’s visceral index were identified in CT images of mummy CIT8. In torso CT images, the heart, lungs, liver, spleen, kidneys, and intestine were observed as desiccated, relatively hyperdense structures in their approximate anatomical positions. Locks of natural hair were observed on the side of the head, yielding a total visceral index of 70% suggesting good visceral preservation.

Noticeably absent from the mummy were silicone and Hyaluronic acid (fillers - for those of us learning on the fly). Noticeably present were hair extensions!

Kind of liked both of these items... Who had the banana seat? And who wore a banana clip?

Gen X ladies - high school hair essential.

“Not all girls could wear the banana clip. It was kind of an exclusive club of hair types.”

Iron Maiden has finally made it into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The RRHoF has a well deserved credibility issue and referring to it as the The Not Very RRHoF is not out of line. They got it right with Maiden induction.

Maiden is really one of the most influential metal bands of all time, and this should have happened long ago. But, the RRHOF does not really like metal bands.

***

Where is Motorhead, Dio, Saxon (many do not remember how influential they were), Testament, Death (really, one of the most influential and early Death metal bands), Eodus, Pantera, Megadeth, Slayer, and so many more. Judas Priest is in under the “Musical Excellence Award” rather than as a main performer, which is absurd. One of the OGs and super influential.

Here is the full list of 2026 inductees:

Phil Collins
Billy Idol
Iron Maiden
Joy Division/New Order
Oasis
Sade
Luther Vandross
Wu-Tang Clan

ONT Random Thoughts and Questions

Fire away in the comments.

- The U.S. turns 250 this year. If you’re 50 or older, you’ve been around for at least 20% of the country’s lifespan. Twenty-five-year-olds… congrats, you’re 10-percenters.

- Anton Chigurh is an all-time movie villain. Same with the AoSHQ favorite, Hans Gruber. For underrated movie villains, I’ll nominate Howard Payne (Speed). What say you?

- Tablets and QR codes at restaurants are a soulless blight on the restaurant experience. Just take my order. I don’t need a narrated scroll, a screen hunt, and a read-back. Sometimes tech makes things worse - this is one of those times.

- Never has knowledge been more accessible—we all carry pocket computers. And yet, people know nothing.

- Is being informed exhausting? And what’s actually worth debating?

- Are we arguing over facts, or just the details?

- Where on your importance scale does the ability to change your mind rank in terms of happiness / a good life?

- Right through the webbing. Baseball's unfortunate equipment failure. There's something satisfying about restringing and repairing a glove. Whether an emergency - need the glove right now / tomorrow or a full on project. Removing the cracked, worn out laces. Threading fresh leather through seasons of a well formed pocket and stress points. Restoration work with a bit of respect built in. It's not a new glove when you're done - and that's the point.

Hah!

But seriously: "empty orchestra." Not "empty head."

kara - empty. same as in "karate," "empty hand."

oke - the start of the word "orchestra," transliterated into Japanese.

The Japanese like making four-kanji and (in this case) four-mora words out of longer compound words.

And that makes the Japanese pronunciation "kah-rah-owe-keh," not "kay-ree-owe-key."

So, had a FWP today. I have been going through the process of getting dental implants on 2 of my teeth - one in front and one in the back. It has been over 6 months since this all started, and today was "New Teeth" day - all of the steps had been completed, and the implants were ready at the office.

I was SO excited! Got to the office, had the bottom one installed, the dentist took out the one for my front tooth....

....and there was something wrong with it.

It has to be sent back and a new one made.

Y'all - I haven't cried once about my cancer diagnosis, but I was >>>this close

Just wanted to vent.

Brandon Johnson today on his administration's transparency regarding his Reparations Task Force:

===============

As long as we're allowed to talk about stupid Dem leaders, I can't fathom the proposed NYC pied-a-terre tax.

You TAX someone for NOT using city services. I mean, they don't use the fire department because you're not there being set aflame in the subway, you don't use the police department because you're not there being shot on the street, you don't use the garbage collection because you're not there throwing anything away, you're not walking on the sidewalks or strolling in the park or visiting the library or museum...

Then, how does the city determine pied-a-terre status? Do you self-report the amount of time you spend in your apartment? (Hallllooooo, Quality Learing Center folks!) Is there a specific amount of time you have to spend at your residence -- total, consecutive?

I thought this was wildly imaginative silliness, but I found out the concept has been around for a while.

159 Accessibility of knowledge.... IMO, this is painfully true with navigation. Anymore, a LOT of people wouldn't know how to leave their driveway without GPS.

I jealously protect/uphold my sense of direction and belligerently refuse to use GPS. I use Apple Maps like I previously used a road atlas. I refuse to listen to some electronic whore tell me how to navigate. And once I've driven there once, I don't need to look next time... it's locked in. Freaks out my younger co-workers.

Seriously, if there was an EMP event that wiped out all smartphones, how many people could actually fucking get anywhere ?!?

225 "Perfesser" You wondered why a Catholic church would have bear spray handy. Cabrini is just a few blocks away from an Omaha city park where a local charity group picks up homeless people to take them to an overnight shelter, then brings them back to the park in the morning. My bookstore was located just three blocks away. Several mornings I had to call the police to evict homeless people, drunks, and worse from my front door before I could open. Because Cabrini is a church, I imagine those kinds of individuals would be very aggressive in demanding handouts, etc. FWIW, all four of my kids attended grade school at Cabrini and went to mass there every morning.

230 From @SoveyX

Spirit Airlines is reportedly flirting with liquidation, sending shockwaves through an economy that quietly relied on $19 flights and emotional resilience training.

For years, Spirit offered Americans a simple value proposition: we will get you there, but not before testing your relationship with God, strangers, and the concept of personal space [ . . . ]

231 As long as we're allowed to talk about stupid Dem leaders, I can't fathom the proposed NYC pied-a-terre tax.

You TAX someone for NOT using city services.
======

Taxes are social policy.

The idea that we pay for public services with taxes is false. There is no connection.

Yes, they collect and they spend. But they collect what they want, how they want, irrespective of the "services" they provide.

232 I had this weird dream last night, in which I was trying to introduce someone to my wife, in my wife’s presence…but I couldn’t remember my wife’s first name. And I thought “Uh oh. How am I going to explain this to her?”

Finally. In my dream, I remembered my wife’s first name. Except, her first name in the dream wasn’t the same as her first name in real life.

Weird.

That was the role that told me what an incredibly great actor John Hurt was. Several actors have played Caligula, but Hurt did it so well that it’s impossible to imagine anyone else playing the role.

And he had the unique ability to be incredibly charming at the same time he was being evil. You wonder if the real Caligula was like that.

Good to see you doing an occasional ONT scampydog. Thank you for content.

Spent a few busy days getting our camper ready for the road. We reserved a 'full hook-up' (not as much fun as it sounds it means electric/water/sewer hook-ups) spot at Prado Regional park, about 25 miles east of here. It was a very nice park, peaceful, and the sites weren't on top of each other. More like a park rather than a parking lot. In a few months it will be brutally hot there. It was close enough to home we didn't stay in the camper overnight.

312 Spent a few busy days getting our camper ready for the road. We reserved a 'full hook-up' (not as much fun as it sounds it means electric/water/sewer hook-ups) spot at Prado Regional park, about 25 miles east of here. It was a very nice park, peaceful, and the sites weren't on top of each other. More like a park rather than a parking lot. In a few months it will be brutally hot there. It was close enough to home we didn't stay in the camper overnight.

329 Hey Sca-dog and fellow hordlings! Your foreign Correspondent in Southeast Asia here - still hotter-n'-hell here (but not August in Houston hot), regarding the following:

- Tablets and QR codes at restaurants are a soulless blight on the restaurant experience. Just take my order. I don’t need a narrated scroll, a screen hunt, and a read-back. Sometimes tech makes things worse - this is one of those times.

I find this infuriating as it is clear that the restaurant is simply outsourcing their wait staff duties to me. My response when I see this is: "how much are you going to pay me for doing your job?" And I am not paraphrasing. I have asked that a number of times now. When I get a quizzical look I explain: they are forcing me to do their job, which is not what you expect when you go to a restaurant. I expect the restaurant to serve me. That includes going over the menu, telling me specials and taking my order. Don't get me started on lost revenue opportunities that the place loses on upsells or drink orders etc. It's Restaurant 101 - fer chrissakes!

341 Freaking credit cards, ugh! Took me several years to pay off the debt that XH2 had racked up on our joint accounts. Thank God it was only 5 digits.. coulda been so much worse. Worth every penny to be rid of him.

Now? I have 2 major credit cards. One, with a very low limit (at my request) for small things like annual renewals of a few subscription services, so I don't even carry it with me. The other, with a more "normal" limit, for emergencies-- but I keep it active with gasoline purchases and hubby's cigs.

Neither have an annual fee. Both are paid in full when statements arrive. I do have a Homedespot card & generally use it only for *major* purchases and again, pay within the time limit for their interest-free deal. They send me promo offers all the time, wanting me to rack that baby up! I might need to buy some flowers and potting soil, just to keep it active; been a while since I used it.

All other cards were cancelled years ago. There were many, LOL.

For whatever reason, OPH doesn't accept online payments.

In fact, I still haven't written a check. They take money orders (another vestige of history) and my grocery store sells them.

They cost a couple of bucks, but for only one check a month it's cheaper than the checking account fee (not to mention buying checks I'll never use).

Hey Braenard - all well here and although many here buy into the "Trump is casing chaos, hair on fire eleventy!!!" bs that the MSM commies put out (especially EU UK Ex-Pats) many more are circumspect and appreciate what he is doing to counter China. I do note that when I explain things like "no, there isn't widespread unrest in the US, what goes on in a small section of Minneapolis is not representative of the US. Ain't nuthin goin' on in Spring, Texas." They listen and start to understand - I let them know that they are being fed lies and to keep an open mind. They get it. People are overly concerned about the Iran situation - but, again, from my spot in insurance, we have had very little in the way of insurance related claims for my company (a very large multinational insurance broker). So we are counselling caution but certainly not panic. In many areas they love Trump and still respect and sometimes envy the US.

One day the paper bill (I like paper!) came in the same day I got an offer from Fidelity, 2% on everything. I liked at my "everything else" purchases and got it. No annual fee on it either. So far this year, I've spent almost $1K at Amazon (I live in the boonies) so that $20 into my brokerage account at Fidelity where it goes into.a MMF that's paying ~ 3.7%. 90+% of my discretionary spending is through those cards, hell, I even charged my homeowners & auto insurance bills (>$2K). Pay them off every month, pay no interest.
You gotta play the game.

379 Big turn of events last night. Basiji commander Mohammad Shirmohammadian was stabbed 14 times and killed by, supposedly, masked Iranians near Pardis, Tehran.

Havent heard of whether either of the 2 resistance forces against the regime, the Immortal Guard and Homeland Defenders Organization, were the attackers, but this could be a major sign in an uprising brewing among the Iranian people (which is arguably the most important step towards actual regime change)

380 Going to Islamabad is not 1/1,000th as disastrous an idea as any imaginable "deal" with the regime in Tehran. Just assuming every bit of every peace offensive that breaks out about every 3 days is lame kabuki for the dim world audience (including its share within our borders).

Looks like the Lebanon "ceasefire" might have failed before the digital ink was dry, though not sure about exact timing. Rocket attack (surprise!) on Israel, some serious injured, appears to be after formal beginning of pause.

US policy towards Lebanon, and obscure thing barely even noticed by anyone for many years, is almost comically absurd. All based on an absurd premise that there is a Lebanese state with the ability or will to neuter the Hezbollah state-within-a-state. Haven't checked but I can only imagine how Arabs interpret this nonsense. They know the fantasy on which it's all based, and assume we do too - so US policy *MUST BE SOME 10-DIMENSIONAL TRICKERY TO HARM THE ARAB WORLD AND BABY BUNNIES!!!!!*.

384 10+ years ago met one of the two Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force officers seconded to Annapolis at the time (a very prestigious posting for obvious reasons). He'd been XO of a Japanese submarine.

I thought we were going to stay in touch but lost contact and never heard from him. I assume his US posting meant he'd be CO of a sub on his return, and was destined for higher things after. Very interesting and impressive guy. Was a docent at a military museum and we talked a lot about WWII in the Pacific.

It's sort of glorious how some of the JMSDF "helicopter carriers" (cough cough) use the names of famous WWII Kido Butai carriers.

388 his day (April 16) in 1948, the British withdrew from Safed & 100s of Arabs immediately attacked the city’s ancient Jewish community.

The Arab commander cabled the Arab Liberation Army: “Our morale is very high, the young people are enthusiastic, we’re going to massacre them."

The outnumbered Jews chose to stay and fight rather than flee; and, along with a small garrison of Haganah fighters, they managed to repel the attack.

The Arab assault was part of the “civil war” portion of the 1948 War that was launched the moment the UN voted to partition Mandate Palestine into a Jewish state and an Arab state on November 29, 1947.

From day one, the Arabs rejected any Jewish state on any part of the Land.

There's a big Quick Stop just outside my neighborhood. It's always been operated by a middle Easterner. Never ate at the food bar that offered traditional fare. Well, the other day, make or
ptomaine it was the choice. WHAT? It's changed, the big colorful menu is in Spanish but I don't know any of the words. I try to talk to the lady but she speaks no English, zip. This is interesting.
They are Cubans. There are no Cubans in this town. There are now Cubans in this state but I'm here in this colorful, clean Cuban food bar. Not only that I ask the guy behind me to explain 'sunny side up' to the lady but he doesn't understand the jargon. He's Cuban!
We work it out and I get two eggs sunny side up and two strips of bacon with different but good type of toast at a reasonable price. I'll be back.
Cubans?

396 Implant time, but since its an upper in the back they have to do what they call a sinus lift to make room for the added bone and implant or else the implant would be into the sinus cavity. It all sounds horrifying.
Posted by: Berserker-Dragonheads Division at April 17, 2026 01:07 AM (snZF9)

I got a sinus lift. Spookiest part was when the surgeon routed out the existing bone to make room for the bone graft material. Mine healed up with a minimum of pain and swelling.

I got off on the tangent of prolific actors who seemed to be in everything, at least as far as classic TV goes.

Jessica Walter had 160+ credits, and Richard Anderson had 180+ or so. That's impressive, but would you believe Ed Asner had over 400? And probably one of the most prolific was someone whose name wouldn't ring a bell, but you'd recognize him instantly: William Schallert.

He was truly in everything, 400+ credits. He was "old reliable", almost a human prop, who played character roles. He never really stood out, but he could if called upon.

Nope. They just need to build up enough bone to have a spot to screw the implant bases into. I'm having two implants done right now, finally got the bases screwed in this week, after getting a sinus lift three months ago. I hope to get finished in three or four more months.

I have heard through anecdotes is that the best way to pick a puppeh is to just sit in a corner and see which of them come to you, and then which ones decide to stay with you rather than running around with the rest of the pack

Former cat would headbutt as a form of affection (marking me as *hers* LOL) followed by a cheek-rub, and then cuddles. I called it a "bonk" when she did it-- so often that she learned the word and would headbutt me if I said it. Funny girl cat!

Then a flag on a moving thing should always have the union to the front. A flag on the right side of a vehicle, or a motorcycle helmet, or a tattoo on someone's right arm, should be drawn "backwards" with the stars in the upper-right.

My friend's cat would do that. It would walk up and press her head into your leg and then do the rub. If you didn't pet her she would keep head butting your leg. His other cats couldn't give a shit, you rarely saw them, but she was different. She was a fat cat. Her nickname was sandbag. lol

We won't get any snow accumulation, hopefully will get a bit of moisture into the soil, but its supposed to be 24F tomorrow night. But then warm back to 60F on Saturday so I'll probably just break ice Saturday morning.

-
Note that the Pope is deliberately attempting to deceive there. Firstly, the "woe to" does appear elsewhere in the Gospel but the rest of the phrase does not, but a careless listener might assume that whole paragraph to be quoting Christ.

Secondly, the listener might reasonably assume in context that the Pope is claiming that *someone*, likely the President, is guilty of the rest of the statement, when there's no case at all to be made that he is.

The Pope's islamic buddies are of course all over that sort of thing.

120 It did snow this morning, but it melted off. We still have about 8 inches in the back yard, but the grass is greening up over the septic tank, so there's that.

Should be in the garden by the end of next week, just digging, not planting. Greenhouse will start up in a couple of weeks. Planting outside will start mid-May.

Yes, it snows in April up here. Regularly. But not seriously.

DH bought studded tires last fall, and got rid of his summer tires, because they were shot. Now we have to purchase more summer tires, and it ain't cheap for that beast of a truck. I don't have studs on my car tires. Don't really need them. But it is nice to have the studs on the truck if it gets particularly icy.

Posted by: BarelyScaryMary


They're tires for people who drive where there is both snow and hills.

Minnesotans don't usually bother; it's flat enough that normal tires work. If they don't, you'll need a plow blade on the front of your vehicle, too.

And if we didn't drive in snow, we'd have to winterize our cars and not use them six months of the year.

🚨 HOLY CRAP. Soros linked Hennepin County DA Mary Moriarity just filed ARREST WARRANTS for ICE agents

She's claiming they can be arrested anywhere nationwide

This must be IMMEDIATELY deemed null and void and she should be removed from power! TRAITOR.

Video here.

When she's not batting clean-up for the Soros Softball Team, she's letting out Somali rapists without prison time so that they can rape again. The feds had to charge this repeat rapist to keep him from committing further rapes.

Federal prosecutors on Thursday charged a Minneapolis man in connection with a string of sexual assaults including of a 15-year-old girl. In two of the cases, Abdimahat Bille Mohamed, 28, avoided prison as part of a recent plea deal with the Hennepin County Attorney's Office and allegedly raped his latest victim in September while on probation.

In a statement, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi blamed Minnesota's "left-wing soft-on-crime policies" for putting innocent people at risk from a "Somali national." In response, Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said the Justice Department news release is a "clear attempt to politicize a sexual assault prosecution to inflict further harm on our entire Somali community."


On May 30, 2024, Minneapolis police arrested Mohamed at his home near downtown for the rape of a woman he met on Snapchat. The victim's sister, who was also in the apartment, had called 911. The victim told paramedics that Mohamed had raped and strangled her and threatened to kill her sister.

Hennepin County prosecutors charged Mohamed the next day. Several months later, the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension linked Mohamed's DNA to the 2017 kidnapping and sexual assault of a 15-year-old girl in Minneapolis. In October 2024, the Hennepin County Attorney's Office charged Mohamed separately in the earlier case.

In April, Mohamed pleaded guilty to felony charges of criminal sexual conduct in both cases, but he did not go to prison.

Following the terms of Mohamed's plea deal, Judge Juan Hoyos gave Mohamed five years of probation for the rape of the 15-year-old and a stayed sentence of 14 months in the other case. Hennepin County prosecutors agreed not to charge Mohamed in a May 2018 sexual assault of which he was suspected.

The case came to the attention of the Minnesota U.S. Attorney's Office after Hennepin County prosecutors charged Mohamed on Monday in connection with a third sexual assault.

While on probation for the rape of the 15-year-old girl, Mohamed met a Mankato woman on Snapchat in mid-September and picked her up at her home. According to court documents, he allegedly took her to a hotel in Bloomington, where he held her against her will for six days and repeatedly raped her.

Unfortunately 2032 is a lifetime away:

Hogg tried to claim anyone with an "elementary school understanding" of foreign policy could have predicted the Strait of Hormuz closure.

Jennings left him speechless with one simple question.

HOGG: "Anybody with an elementary school understanding of foreign policy could have told you the Strait of Hormuz was going to get shut down, and that is exactly what happened."

JENNINGS: "And who controls it right now?"

[Silence]

"Who controls strait right now?"

HOGG: "How high are...why are gas prices so high then?"

JENNINGS: "Why were they high during Biden's administration? Did you like that?"

[Jennings laughs in his face]

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. Sec. Scott Bessent just said that because Iran BOMBED Gulf neighbors, those countries are suddenly opening up Iranian regime BANK accounts to Treasury

So he can FREEZE their assets! Checkmate playing out. 🔥

"What may prove to be FATAL mistakes the Iranians made was bombing their [Gulf] NEIGHBORS."

"Who are now willing to be much more transparent in terms of the funds, or do a deeper dive in investigating the funds that are held within their banking systems."

"So, we have pushed out to them the request that we want to freeze more funds of the leadership of the IRGC and any members of Iranian leadership."

"The other thing that we have done is we have told companies, we have told countries that if you are buying Iranian oil, that if Iranian money is sitting in your banks, we are now willing to apply secondary sanctions, which is a very stern measure."

"The Iranians should know that this is going to be the FINANCIAL equivalent of what we saw in the KINETIC activities."

Bessent is an economic ASSASSIN. 🇺🇸

34 The historian William Shirer concluded: “Under the leadership of Rosenberg, Bormann and Himmler, who were backed by Hitler, the Nazi regime intended to destroy Christianity in Germany, if it could, and substitute the old paganism of the early tribal Germanic gods and the new paganism of the Nazi extremists.” The only thing a right-wing authoritarian regime reliably does with organized religion is use it for mobilization - and then destroy it once it proves an independent moral authority the state cannot fully control.

This is why Tucker Carlson’s operation, which presents itself as a defense of authentic Christianity, is in fact a threat to every Christian -and to every Jew, Muslim, and person of any faith who depends on the First Amendment’s guarantee of religious freedom, who loves the Constitution and who wants to be free. -- Insurrection Barbie

93 Shirer wrote in his memoir The Nightmare Years:

May 1932. Colonel McCormick, busy as he was in Chicago trying to avert the collapse of American civilization, somehow found time occasionally to give me a specific assignment. But in a peculiarly perverse way.

... Shirer spent a week in Tighina interviewing "scores" of Ukrainian refugees. His conclusions: the Bolshevik commissar-activists possibly stole a village milk cow or a goat or a plow and some grain. That a few of the whining peasants went hungry. Some peasants were sent east. A few escaped and were shot fleeing across the river to Moldova from Soviet Ukraine.

Shirer finds it all so boooring! Especially the religious nature of the ignorant and backward Slavic peasants. If only those poor, stupid, Slavic idiots were Jews - he may have been interested. Sadly, the Slavs were only slavish, god worshiping, Christians.

----------------------------
Hunter Biden is hiding from his creditors in California, avoiding paying over $20 million he owes various people, The Post has learned.

Although a lawyer for the former first son claimed he is “living abroad” in South Africa, where his wife Melissa Cohen hails from, he’s actually holed up at luxury 8,000-acre estate in Santa Ynez, two hours north of Los Angeles, sources claim.

“He’s been telling everyone that he is living in South Africa because he has no money, but it’s a ruse, to show that he is broke and can’t pay his bills,” said a source close to the Biden family.

Those bills are considerable — with around $15 to $17 million owed to a high-powered legal team in DC, $5 million to his former pal and “Sugar Brother,” Kevin Morris and $1 million to his former art dealer.

Trump has them by the throat and is slowly strangling them to death. They have no option but to capitulate. Fuck, we can walk away for any peace negotiations anytime we please.

Democrat Strategist Michael Trujillo: Politico Was Investigating Rapewell When He Was Running for President But The "Energy Dissapated" When He Dropped Out So Politico Killed the Story

In other words: When Rapewell was threatening to become an easily-defeated Presidential candidate, they were willing to investigate the well-known rumors of harassment even rape, but when he dropped out and was no longer a threat to The Party, they let him off scot-free to go back to being a useful Democrat tool in Congress where he could continue to rape women.

This is mostly bullshit spin about the Democrat Party building an escape-proof trap for Rapewell and just waiting to strike when the time was right. That's a lie. You never wanted to take him out until he again threatened to become an easily-defeated candidate.

But the admission about Politico is interesting.

Michael Trujillo
@mikehtrujillo

One note on the Swalwell stuff - (this isn't confirmed) but a reporter with Politico was working on verifying the rumors on Swalwell when he was running for President. (he's no longer with the publication) Two days before he was scheduled to sit down with this reporter Swalwell dropped out of the race. The energy disappeared to potentially take him out, the victims if they were even willing to go on the record never did. He slithered back to his safe house seat. December 2025 was too early to take down Swalwell we had to wait til his paperwork was ALL IN running for governor March 2026, so the head of the snake could be chopped off and he had no safe house seat to slither back to this time. Hate the strategy fine, but for folks unsure if this would work, we had to make sure he couldn't get away like he did in 2020.

Yeah that was your strategy - not covering it up forever so long as he stayed in his lane and did not attempt to rise above his appointed station.


Entertainment720Economy
@E720Economy

14h

If the dirt on him was as bad as you say why would your party allow him to slither back to a House seat? They happily would have found the GOP votes to expel him.

This wasn't about doing what was right, this was about fear of the top 2 candidates in the Cali primary being GOP.


Michael Trujillo
@mikehtrujillo

I don't know what you are talking about - witnesses need to come forward and make the accusation so reporters and the police in this case can do their job. I am not a victim and I'm not a witness of him committing these acts, so how do I prevent him from slithering back exactly ?

Weird how Democrat operatives were able to find and persuade those witnesses to come forward the very instant it was critical to The Party's political fortunes to do so.


Meanwhile, the Washington Post is very confused. They don't understand why no media organization, say a large one located in the DC area with hundreds of "reporters" assigned to Capitol Hill, was ever able to track down and report this open secret for all eleven of Rapewell's years in Congress.

The Washington Post is hot garbge.

How Eric Swalwell rose to the top of Democratic politics as rumors followed him

Allies such as Rep. Nancy Pelosi and Sen. Ruben Gallego say they knew nothing about the misconduct allegations, with Gallego saying the congressman led a "double life."

This is the same op they pulled after Biden's dementia became too obvious to be denied: How could we have known? No Democrats told us. And of course we must trust the words of our Democrat allies, I mean "sources," implicitly.

When Cheyenne Hunt first arrived on Capitol Hill as a staffer in 2020, several other young women working there warned her privately: Stay away from Rep. Eric Swalwell.

Swalwell could be "creepy," Hunt said other women told her, especially over social media.

Six years later, Hunt is one of several women who have leveraged their large followings online to go after Swalwell, enlisting women to come forward with their stories and connecting them with reporters at CNN and other outlets. Late last week, allegations that include sexual assault of a former staffer and sending unsolicited explicit messages to young women came to light in investigations published by CNN and the San Francisco Chronicle. On Tuesday, a woman accused Swalwell of raping her in 2018.


...

The stunning fall has Hunt and others asking how someone who was dogged by persistent rumors of inappropriate behavior toward women similar to what she heard in 2020 could have risen so high and so fast in a party that says it supports women's rights.

If you really want to know, I will tell you, but get this, I don't think you want anyone to know. You know the truth -- it's as obvious as the scrapes on your knees -- but you're covering it up, as usual.


"We do need to take a look inward as a party because it was an open secret," said Hunt, the executive director of the youth group Gen Z for Change, referring to the Democratic Party. "Not necessarily that he was assaulting people but that he was a creep. That was well known."

How about looking at The Party's comms department, the propaganda media?


Swalwell's career took off like a meteor at the same time women allege he was harassing them. His political trajectory -- described here with the help of interviews with more than a dozen former staffers and political operatives, some of whom who spoke on the condition of anonymity to recount private discussions -- suggests a Democratic Party enamored with a young congressman's talent for sound bites and landing blows against President Donald Trump.

Were CNN and MSNOW also enamored? Because he lived in their green room.

No? You don't want to broach that question, huh?


Rumors that Swalwell, 45, had affairs in Washington followed him, but there is no evidence that the more serious allegations of sexual assault were circulating among Democrats while his career took off, these people said.

Sure. Sure. Women don't spread gossip about rapists. #MeToo and the various lists of "Shitty Men" prove that.

...

He took the job seriously, according to his former staffers, who said he showed a penchant for making TV appearances at whatever time a channel would have him on.

Let's talk more about that -- about him being a permanent fixture in the propaganda media.

No? Still don't want to talk about that?


More important, he made the most powerful ally a House Democrat could have: Pelosi, who was known for looking out for her fellow Californians. Swalwell was seen as focused on ingratiating himself with Pelosi, according to several former staffers, who asked him to renominate her as speaker after the 2014 midterms and gave him a slot on the steering committee that controls committee assignments and internal party decisions.

"He benefited from being one of Pelosi's pets for a long time," said a senior Democratic staffer for another office, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal party dynamics.

What about being Rachel Maddow's pet?

What about being the Washington Post's pet, which published leak after leak and unsupported #FakeNews claim after unsupported #FakeNews claim from Rapewell?

Stephen Miler continues questioning the Axios "Reporter" who says she knew all about Eric Rapewell but didn't report on it because her beat wasn't #MeToo issues and also her bosses hadn't approved a Code Red on a Democrat.

Why do you need to secure special permission to write a negative story on a Democrat, we'd all like to know. We all know, obviously. We'd just like it admitted.

Stephen L. Miller
@redsteeze

Bethany please explain why you said you passed on "swirling rumors" to the hill Accio team and they never reported it on Swalwell.

That's what you told me it wasn't your beat so you passed it on and then no reporting actually happened.

So please explain to me why those stories died.

She's in a little trouble because she admitted she sent her "tips" to her bosses at Axios, who, of course, sat on them.

Now she's trying to spin why her bosses were perfectly right to kill the story.

62 "The energy disappeared to potentially take him out, the victims if they were even willing to go on the record never did."

This still sticks with me and there's not enough follow-up. Why NOW with all the public charges by the women? Where have THEY been? The "crimes" happened over a long period and in multiple instances. Why the same kind of silence by all of them? This is NOT normal. This many victims and NONE chose to go to authorities and make a stink about it until now.

These women need to go on record somewhere responding to the "WHY NOW" question and a follow-up of "were you pressured to keep things private or make things public after your assaults"?

It's hard to believe they all behaved the same way WRT defending themselves post assault/intrusiveness. Remember, too, that this happened during the MeToo movement when women were at peak victimhood. This was their time. They said nothing consequential if anything at all. But NOW it happens.

This is fishier than a fishmonger for several reasons.

63 Bill Clinton in the 1980s was exactly like the Arkansas version of Eric Swalwell -- he pawed, molested, grabbed and stuck hios dick in any female mammal unlucky to find herself in the same room as him.

And, just like with Swalwell, back then the Democratic Party knew full well what Clinton was like, because he had groped or raped ha;lf the women in Arkansas.

But back in the pre-internet '80s, they were able to keep his history and his predilections covered up long enough to get him elected top the White House.

If it wasn't for Monica Lewinsky being so aroused by power, we still wouldn't have known the truth to this day.

In DC, as in Hollywood, sex is currency. Currency is power. If you have some power, you use it judiciously. What do the various entities have to gain?

A lower level functionary would lose any chance at a decent job for reporting a rapist who runs a big organization. However, once another group will support them, by all means, spill the beans.

I am sorry, but if someone raped me and told me to be silent, I might, but that rapist would be denied the chance to rape again, one way or the other.

86 Reading some of the major testimony against Rapewell the claimant says, - she believes that he drugged her and thinks he raped her while she was unconscious.

There's nothing wrong with that testimony.

88 I noted this the other day. Sometime soon, the University of Maryland is going to come up in the Swalwell conversations. This isn't behavior you pick up later in life. He likely did it in college as well.

Don't feel bad for Huma; she ended up marrying Alexander Soros, who is ten years younger and controls his father George's $25B Open Society Foundation.

Well, she's no prize and he could've had one, so it's presumptively a marriage of convenience, as queer socialites do. But still, it's a pretty soft landing for Anthony Weiner's used baggage.

I had to look up the etymology of "meteor" and related things like "meteorology". It comes from the ancient Greek homo root "Meteoron" which meant "high in the sky" or "suspended in air".

I did not know that, as Johnny Carson used to say. And that explains the varied meanings of out "meteor" words to mean shooting stars as well as the study of weather.

I just came across this article in Politico about the rumblings that were the beginning of the end for Swalwell. I feel like I need to go in for a recalibration of my bullshit detector as the allegations took me completely by surprise. It appears that some people knew about Swalwell all along.

What I mostly don't understand is how these men manage to fool themselves. Why do they imagine that no one will ever know? They have surely seen other politicians end their careers for far less.

I am beyond disgusted by Swalwell; he seemed to be one of the real Dem fighters that would lead us into the post-Trump era. Such an embarrassment, especially having such a seemingly good-family history.

It's like all of our politicians are failing us, and wait for it - on both sides (but I do loathe that phrase).

These politicians and staffers are all ripe for blackmail by a foreign state. In fact, I'm sure it's happening as we speak. I'll let you guess which state.

Candace Owens Urges Her Vicious Fanatics to Spy On and "Track" Erika Kirk; When Erika Kirk Is Forced to Cancel an Appearance Because Owens' Lunatics Did In Fact Track and Dox Her Plane, Owens Claims She's Faking About Feeling Threatened

And speaking of dangerous madwomen threatening a mother and her child...

Bear in mind, this malignant narcissist told us all a few months ago that French Intelligence had sent Assassination Squads to kill her for getting too close to the truth about Brigitte Macron -- and that we should all take this threat on her life very, very seriously.

Number of French intelligence assassination attempts on Cavernous Nostrils size then: Zero point zero.

But this maniac is telling her cult followers to track, spy on, and doxx Erika Kirk -- and they're doing just that.

She's also telling her cultists that she wonders if she needs to stab Erika Kirk -- we'll get to that in a minute.

This resulted in threats on Erika Kirk's life, and required her to cancel an appearance at an event, per the advice of her security team:

Oli London
@OliLondonTV

Apr 15

Erika Kirk pulled out of speaking at the University of Georgia due to serious security threats amid targeted hate campaigns against her.

"...After all our family has been through, I take my security team's recommendations extremely seriously."

JD Vance had revealed she had received "some very serious threats in her direction" before she had to pull out of joining him at the university.

Kirk mentioned that she could not risk making her now-fatherless children an actual orphan by allowing herself to be the next one murdered.


Clay Travis
@ClayTravis

Erika Kirk's treatment is one of the most shameful things I have seen in the social media era. Her husband was murdered seven months ago. I'm not sure I've ever seen a widow attacked like she has been. It's truly indefensible.

Ian Miles Cheong
@ianmiles

JD Vance slams Candace Owens and others attacking Erika Kirk for blaming her for Charlie Kirk's murder.

"The people telling you Erika wasn't grieving are full of shit and we need to be honest about that fact."

"To say that Erika Kirk wasn't grieving her husband on that day, to say that Erika Kirk was somehow complicit in it is so preposterous, and so disgusting, and it's one of the things that has broken the American public conversation in the last six months."

"If you're one of the people going after Erika Kirk and not the people who are trying to destroy the United States of America, you're part of the problem and not part of the solution."

Video here, or you can listen to the video as the hideous psychopath Cavernous Nostrils makes fun of Erika Kirk for feeling threatened:


Check out the responses to that, as Cavernous Nostrils' cult followers make claims like this: Erika Kirk is only fake-grieving because she murdered Charlie Kirk. Cavernous has made it a near daily part of her show to "investigate" Erika Kirk's "fake grief."

If Erika Kirk cries, it's fake crying. If Erika Kirk makes a joke, that proves it's all fake grief because grieving widows never, ever laugh or smile, ever.

Me-Again Kelly continues supporting this psychotic demon, asserting that the only possible objection to Cavernous is her "criticism of Israel." By which she means; She claims that Jews are all Fake Jews who have assumed the mantle of Judaism to enslave the world and destroy Christianity. You know, "criticism of Israel" like that.

This is so upsetting I haven't posted it before. It's just too unspeakable.

Cavernous Nostrils keeps asserting that people including Elon Musk and Erika Kirk aren't human but are either robots or hybrids -- nutty, but not a joke, as she keeps on insisting on this conspiracy theory. How many times does someone have to say the same "joke" before it becomes obvious they're not joking at all?

What makes this dangerous is that this malign narcissist keeps saying someone should "stab" these "hybrids" "with a blade" to ascertain if they are humans or robots.

She keeps telling her audience of conspiratorial, hateful psychopaths to stab the grieving widow of a man who was just shot in the neck by a fellow leftist.

Seth Dillon
@SethDillon

Apr 14

The primary threat to Charlie was well known. He needed security because leftist lunatics often resort to violence. Tyler Robinson proved the point.

The primary threat to Charlie's widow comes from a very different place -- one that Charlie himself never would have imagined.

Earlier I talked about leftists being motivated entirely by malicious envy and resentment towards those who have something they want.

Erika Kirk has -- or had -- two things that Cavernous Nostrils wanted and therefore, this psychopath reasoned, "deserved."

The first was Charlie Kirk himself, whom Cavernous Nostrils wanted as a trophy husband and still hasn't gotten over it that Charlie Kirk wanted the more beautiful, less insane Erika Kirk.

The second was control over TPUSA -- which Cavernous Nostrils believes she "deserved" to be put in charge of, to have command over a much larger and better-funded body of followers than she currently has. Despite the fact that Charlie Kirk fired her psychotic bitch ass years before! (And also, did not invite her to his wedding, because, I imagine, he feared the scene she might create.)

And she hasn't stopped accusing Erika Kirk of being a lesbian child groomer and murderess since she failed to secure what she "deserved."

And now? She's calling for her cult followers to murder Erika Kirk.

5 I am of the opinion that Candy here is pushing the envelope more and more in the hopes she gets arrested so she can finally be a true victim.

If only she was married to a straight guy who would tell her to zip it.

6 Kinda related :

"The Macrons asked the judge to allow 5 more attorneys not licensed in Delaware to join the Macrons team. They filed the 5 motions for it on April 7th. The judge granted all 5 motions the next day. So Macrons legal team just got huge.

At this time no media has requested seeking permission to go into the court room.

The Macrons want a jury trial. And are pushing hard for it.

There is no indication if the Macrons or Candace will be present.

The case for dismissal or striking parts of the complaint will be on April 28th."

Coming up !

Nothing. She was always like this. A vile BLM grifter. People wanted to believe, and did not bother to thoroughly check her past, or looked passed and believed her "conversion". So she got picked up by Kirk first and joined TPUSA. Then got into the Dailywire organization.

27 Again, Owens and others have been told to talk about Erika Kirk in such an insane way to get rid of the story that one of America's most important conservative speakers was assassinated by a leftwing tranny chaser.

So instead of having discussions about common sense tranny control most people are tuning out because they don't want to talk about Jewish conspiracies or robot wives.

She was always like this. It's just that before, she was taking advantage of the "conservatives will overpromote a black woman who says what they'd like to hear" exploit. Before that, she had a been a race hustler and Cancellation Entrepreneur. She'll say whatever gets her clicks. She is textbook narcissist, and not just the way mean it casually, to mean "vain." She literally sees no value in other people except for what they can be manipulated into giving her.

Of course, she is spreading lies because she gets paid for the clicks. And at a half million clicks or more for every one of her shows, increasing as her lies become more brazen and dangerous for Erica, or any TPUSA official, her cash flow increases every day.

She's an example of the banality of evil because otherwise, she's fine. I've never had an issue with her. When she veers off into politics though, the mask comes off. I only see her at shift change, so I don't have to work with her. May seem trite, but it's not. I pray for her salvation. Only Jesus can heal her.

i'd kind of like to see that one. It was always a movie I was mildly interested in seeing, but never enough to actually watch.

a movie I did watch, on Tubi:

"The Autopsy of Jane Doe"

Well-shot, good looking, and featuring a swedish model who is all the way naked the whole movie. And I don't care if she's a corpse, she's hot.

but... blah. The revelations that come from the autopsy are too outrageous to be believed so the movie lost me. Also, the kind of horror movie it is -- the mystery of why this woman was killed -- is the first thing I thought of so the mystery aspect is slight. A couple of creepy bits along the way, but just an average movie.

I can't help but think of the general step *after* that.

The idea that freedom was possible, much less virtuous, was only possible because America at it's founding was filled with Christians. I would argue it's due to Christianity specifically, but it's at least due to having a broad agreement on moral standards.

We cannot go on having so much evil on display, going unpunished if not overtly celebrated. People may want freedom (for some value of the word), but we need order and some sense of security. And if these savages that, one way or another, support the left continue to be part of this society, we're going to need firmer rules and more forceful enforcement of them to keep them contained.

Yes, I'm aware that this is a bad idea. But we are what we are, and they are what they are.

Although her city is facing a massive $50 million deficit, far-left Boston Mayor Michelle Wu is funding (on the taxpayers’ dime) a program handing out vouchers to ‘queer and trans migrants and refugees’ so that they can treat themselves to massages, yoga classes, and ‘creative healing.’

In a social media post, OUTnewcomers, a small, Boston-based nonprofit organization that supports LGBTQ+ migrants, asylum seekers, and refugees in the Greater Boston area, shared their Belonging Matters” (Wellness Allowances) program.

A flyer for the program shared, “We’re offering $250–$500 wellness allowances for LGBTQ+ migrants in Boston to support their mental health and well-being through non-clinical care including yoga, meditation, creative healing, peer support, hair salon/ acupuncture & massages appointments and gym memberships etc.

A huge Fourth of July fireworks display for the 250th anniversary of America has been wrecked by climate warriors.

The festival typically attracts thousands to watch the incredible spectacle over Alamitos Bay on the evening of July 3 but is now being strongarmed into using drones.

It comes as San Diego also launched a war on fireworks for the Fourth of July, with a popular show at SeaWorld switching to drones and the city slashing explosives in their show by 15% last year.

I'm using multifocal contact lenses. At distance they are normal. Close up they project multiple images onto your retina, one set blurry out of focus, and another set, or a series of sets at various levels of in focus. Then your amazing nervous system makes sense of it all.

Not mine though. My nervous system is not amazing. I get multiple crappy images. But I've gotten use to it. My distance vision is great.

I have to admit once you find out some of the conspiracy theories are straight up true that weakens the arguments against all the others.

I first heard from Tucker that there are people that the U.S. government is paying disability payments to due to injury sustained by UFO. This is a 100% true thing. It calls lots of other things into question.

But he's gone on some weird tangents and he's not able to come back from the edge.

The other guys including Tucker and Megyn are afraid that Candace will go after them. Megyn had a notorious affair with Brit Hume for example, and my guess is Tucker has/had a substance abuse problem as his brother certainly does.

If you read the Social Autopsy article in NY Mag that I listed above, this was printed roughly 2016 or so. Candace created that website and it became an awful toxic shitshow that was even too crazy for the left. Back in Gamergate era. And part of it was creeping and surveiling people via the net and in real life to punish the 'bullies' of the crowd.

Second, Candace and her husband worked for TPUSA. Iirc, he was head of the UK branch. Have seen speculation that her hubby may have wanted to take over after Charlie was killed, with Erika standing in his way. No idea if this is remotely true, but it does add to potential background context.

That's wild. I wonder if she's on shrooms? They can cause reality to seem unreal.

Remember the airline pilot who got fired because he was hot-seating on another flight, and suddenly lunged to try and turn on fire suppression, which on that model of plane could've shut down the engines and caused a crash? There was more to the story. He was on his way back from a memorial service for a buddy that died, where he and his friends had done mushrooms; and he was apparently still high on psylocibin, because he hallucinated that he was hallucinating.

It sounds meta, but I mean that he thought reality was unreal, and he was trying to break out of his "lucid dream" by killing himself in the dream. And he remained wildly nuts for hours after taken into custody.

You nailed it Ace. That is what is driving this psychotic woman's obsession with Erika and the threat she poses to her and her children. Look throughout history at both famous and infamous cases of psychotic females who either orchestrate or commit these acts themselves all based on envy of other women who they felt got what they felt they should have had.

She should be behind bars either in a mental institution or prison I don't care. I am afraid that one of her deranged followers will get to Erika and I pray that her security is tight and also that there are legal processes in place working to put Candace on some serious legal notice.

Grok:

As of mid-April 2026, Candace Owens' main YouTube channel (@RealCandaceO) has approximately 5.96 million subscribers.

This figure comes from her official channel page and tracking sites like SocialBlade, vidIQ, and HypeAuditor, which consistently report it in the 5.95M–5.97M range (with minor daily fluctuations of a few hundred to a few thousand).

Overall trend: Strong acceleration starting in 2025, especially after her departure from Daily Wire and independent launch/expansion of "The Candace" show. Growth has been robust into 2026 (tens of thousands per month recently, with occasional bigger spikes), though the rate has slowed from the explosive 2025 phase as the base has grown larger.

A Violent Madwoman Was Set Free After Setting Her Father on Fire -- And Now Stabs A Three-Year-Old Child During a Kidnapping

A court decided that she was too incompetent to stand trial.

But instead of locking her away in an asylum, he allowed her to "remain in her community" unless her mental health team recommended incarceration -- which they didn't.

And now, a three-year-old child has been stabbed.

Daniel Friedman
@DanFriedman81


Two years ago, Naomi Guzman doused her father in lighter fluid and tried to set him on fire, then broke into a church and threatened a priest with a knife. She was found incompetent to stand trial and released.

Today, she abducted a toddler and stabbed him before she was shot and killed by police.

There are very compelling photos of this madwoman on the verge of stabbing the child with a butcher's knife (which she also stole, of course). She did in fact stab the three-year-old, though he's expected to recover.

I was going to post the photo but I think it's probably too upsetting.

You can see it linked at Twitchy. The photo doesn't show the actual stabbing, just the moment before it.

Note that she has a long history of enriching our culture.


In 2024, Guzman was arrested after she allegedly stabbed her father and attempted to start a fire inside his home, KETV reported.


Guzman reportedly doused her father in a flammable liquid and cut him with a knife before fleeing the home.

She then broke into nearby St. Frances Cabrini Church and began destroying items inside the rectory while armed with a knife, according to KETV.

A priest at the church reportedly called 911 and subsequently barricaded himself inside a room as Guzman continued her attack.

"Whatever room he was in, she busted through that room just as they were extracting [him] on that ladder truck," Lt. Jake Ritonya said at the time of the incident, KETV reported. "And then she was armed with a knife. So obviously it could have gone very bad."

Guzman then proceeded to barricade herself inside the building and allegedly sprayed bear spray at authorities as they attempted to make contact, the outlet reported. ​​

"There was bear spray in the rectory that she sprayed at my officers when we tried to make contact," Ritonya said. "So we tried multiple avenues to contact her with drones and negotiators, and it just wasn't -- she was in a mental health crisis."

She was subsequently taken into custody as she attempted to jump out of a window, but later released on her own recognizance while facing four felony charges, according to WOWT.

No one is reporting that Noemi (proper spelling) Guzman is a US citizen or illegal alien, which, I think, is strong evidence that she's yet another Maryland Man.

Translated from Spanish

#UNUSUAL Nebraska police shot and killed Noemí Guzmán, a 31-year-old Latina, after she stole a kitchen knife and attacked a 3-year-old child. Guzmán took a knife from a store and approached the child, who was in a shopping cart with his caregiver. Under threat, she forced the woman to walk ahead of the cart while she pushed it toward the parking lot. Officers arrived at the scene and confronted her, and despite requests to drop the weapon, the suspect refused and began stabbing. Due to the imminent danger, they fired their weapons, wounding her, and she later died at the scene. The child suffered a cut on the face and a wound on the hand.

It's completely insane that being too crazy to stand trial results in a violent criminal's release rather than permanent protective custody without appeal

The below video is worth the watch. If you skip to 12:05, you can see an antifa-type say that he doesn't like police bodycams -- because, of course, they disprove the lies and hoaxes pushed by BLM and antifa.

She retweeted a photo of a car bearing the slogans "Abolish ICE" and "No one is illegal on stolen land."

Below are Noemi Guzman and a killer tranny who murdered his stepdaughter. He was allowed out of prison 30 years early.

Like the trans-identified male, Jonathan Richardson, who was convicted of the brutal murder of his stepdaughter. He was released a full 30 years early. He now has the privilege to open an OnlyFans account under the name Autumn Cordellioné; I guess that's his reward for serving less than half of his 55-year sentence. The thing is, everyone was silent about his release in late December 2025.

20 > She was found incompetent to stand trial and released.

When I was a teenager, I remember a lot of people incredulously talking about the insanity defense. Then it became a common topic of conversation for others to push back and say something like, "No, you don't understand. First of all the insanity defense is very rare. Second, it's not like they just let you go if you're found incompetent to stand trial. They just put you in a mental facility instead of going to jail."

Yeah, about that. It seems like sometimes they really do just let dangerous, insane people wander about. They're not in jail. They're not in a mental facility. They're out there setting fire to people and stabbing kids.

23 In Alaska, "guilty but mentally ill" is a possible verdict.

You do time in the psych hospital first, then, assuming the doctors decide you're all better now, you go to regular Big Boy Jail for the rest of your sentence.

We've had this since the psych doctors cut Charles Meach loose after he was committed for murdering a retarded supermarket bagboy.

The docs decided that Charlie was all better now, and started giving him passes to go out in the community.

Then he murdered four teenagers who were camping in one of our parks... they surprised the shitstain while he was robbing their campsite.

Oops. Guess Charlie wasn't all better after all.

Meach is now inhabiting a somewhat ... warmer ... clime. Too late for those kids, but we do now have "guilty but mentally ill", which has been used in numerous high-profile cases.

Disappointed in the priest/pastor in her earlier incident. If you're going to go un-armed you had best have confidence in the Lord God Almighty that he will save your butt, because the only right answer was for him to stop her from damaging things in the sanctuary and try to save her soul. He ran and hid.

Of course, I also think there should have been a policeman guarding his six as he got onto the fire ladder, and they should have shot her as she entered with the knife. Immediate, decisive consequences are the only way to end this woman's reign of terror.

OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) - First Alert 6 has learned that just hours before police shot and killed Noemi Guzman, she had been taken to a nearby hospital.

Early Monday morning, Omaha Police responded to a QuikTrip gas station in the area of 32nd and L streets for a domestic disturbance call.

Officers spoke with Noemi Guzman who claimed she had been assaulted and had some injuries on her arm. At the time, she declined to go to the hospital and officers documented the incident.

The following day, OPD and Guzman met again.

45 The data is pretty clear - around 1% of the population commit most of the violent crime.

If you deal with them whether it is commitment to an asylum, prison, or the death penalty, crime drops, and dramatically so.

If you get them out they will act out there is no serious way to incentivize them not to.

And you can see this pattern play out again, and again, and again where we have some sort of reform that let's them out and crime goes up, and another reform that puts them away and crime goes down

58 Our society struggles to understand mental illness, unless you or a loved one personally experience it. In turn there's essentially zero financial support for any social and medical services for these people and it's sad.

Violent crime has been steadily decreasing since the 90s. If that's the result of "being soft on crime", maybe we aren't soft enough.

Several years ago, the OWH did a series on the mental health facilities and options in Nebraska. The state pretty much failed in every metric. Not enough beds for those needing long term treatment. Insufficient facilities for short term in patient treatment. Shortage of caregivers if all kinds.

I went to her FB page, she’s just a normal woman, posting about clothing she likes and her boyfriend. She had a complete mental breakdown. I am so sad for that little boy too.

Yea I don't think any additional context is needed. I can't imagine even in Reddit that someone thinks this was not a justified shooting.

80 Our society struggles to understand mental illness, unless you or a loved one personally experience it. In turn there's essentially zero financial support for any social and medical services for these people and it's sad.

The problems the left doesn't want to talk about:

1) Healthcare bureaucracy costs have exploded because of increased government regulation. This took ALL of the savings of computerizing systems and way, way more

2) The US is providing free healthcare not only to its own poor, but millions of legal alien residents and tens of millions of illegal aliens

3) The kind of relatively low cost asylums we had back in the day would violate all sorts of modern healthcare mandates.

There's plenty of financial support for social and medical services. The problem we have is the law makes it really REALLY hard to involuntarily commit someone. As it is now, you either have to commit a horrific crime, or you have to be just sane enough and humble enough to self-commit to a facility.

97 We as a society have brought this onto ourselves. We closed up almost all of the dedicated mental facilities that could have treated people like her. Granted there were abuses and horror stories about some of the facilities, but overall they served a legitimate purpose for society.


Now that they are gone there are zero alternatives. Most hospitals do not have dedicated psych wards and those that do only have a few beds available not nearly enough to treat the number of people who are referred to them.


At this point we are literally out of options for people who aren't mentally fit to stand trial unless the judge does the right thing and has them involuntarily committed, and that is a tough legal hurdle to jump.

I suppose they could make the case that they didn't want to accidentally shoot the kid. That would be bad. And once she started to stab the kid they had to act.

It happens pretty fast and shooting someone down, for most people, comes with some degree of hesitation before they do it. Unless you habituated to it. You sort of want to avoid it if you can.

The FNM called this racism and he was given a through review of his actions by the police department and found that he did the right thing which caused the FNM to go nuts arguing that it is a part of black culture to have knife fights (yes they actually argued this)

About 10 ft from the door a woman sprints out at him raising a knife above her head.

The cop yelled to drop the knife and started reaching for his gun shooting her as she was about a foot from him. The whole thing took less the 2s.

177 You can see clearly here why I did not like psych in nursing school. Altho the acute patients were nothing like this in our hospital psych unit.

The chronic patients in a nursing home place mostly held dolls and fought over cig butts. While wild I was never afraid for my life.

The really dangerous patients were in a state psych hospital that I did not have to go to, thank God.

I had one young man, a typical early 20's schizophrenic (I have seen three) sent to my 5th floor wing when I was a charge RN. He was rigid but quiet and pacing his room. At the time none of the windows locked and there was a ledge to step onto in the case of fire. I called admitting and asked wth he was doing on my floor. Then called his doctor and said he should not be here. The MD shrink told me to give him IM Haldol, which I did through his jeans while he was standing and cooperative (I told him). He did not seem to mind and was later transferred. I'm simply glad he did not jump out of the window.

My cousin did similar and rode on top of a freight train.

Another patient, in another hospital, did not recognize his own parents. Drug and alcohol screens negative, he was having a psychotic break.

184 The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and eight states secured a settlement on April 15 that will prevent three major advertising agencies from engaging in unlawful media censorship.

The defendants Dentsu US, Inc., GroupM Worldwide LLC (doing business as WPP Media), and Publicis, Inc. will no longer enter into deals that require them to restrict working with certain clients, according to the settlement.

“A coordinated group of woke, powerful individuals attempted to suppress that Constitutional right by manipulating ad agencies into sabotaging the reach, revenue, and credibility of conservative voices,” Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said in a statement released on April 15.

The plaintiffs - including Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Montana, Nebraska, Texas, Utah, and West Virginia - alleged that censorship deals between ad agencies and companies had been happening in the background during the past decade, which limited rising voices in the alternative and online media space.
...
The alleged brand-safety standards were part of a campaign to demonetize prominent figures in the conservative space such as Glenn Beck, Steve Bannon, and the late Charlie Kirk, according to court document

Gregory Donnell Morgan Jr., 35, of of Temple Hills, Md. was charged Thursday, April 16 with two felony counts of second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon in Hennepin County District Court. A nationwide warrant has been issued for his arrest.
This is the first criminal charge to be levied against an ICE agent for their actions during Operation Metro Surge.

Because the lawyer has to be able to establish timelines, alibis, whether eyewitness testimony is accurate, etc. He can't (supposedly) do that without the cooperation of the subject.

Part of the problem is that we all see the obvious stuff. But there's LOTS* of crime where the accused is not obviously guilty or the evidence is suspect. We've commented on those cases in the past. So, we need the evidence to be confronted and the accused's story heard, so the jury can decide. (It's a prime reason we don't allow hearsay - the accuser is not the person relaying the evidence, and therefore can't be confronted.)

(* It might not be as many as some would like to believe, but it's still a lot more than others would like.)

========

In reality, if the DA got her wish and the ICE agents were arrested by local cops, this is what would happen:

The DOJ would move to have the case heard in federal court because it's about federal agents in the execution of their duties. The state/local court would have no choice but to allow the movement.

The DOJ would take over as prosecution, and then they'd move to dismiss, and the federal court would have to accept it.

225 I remember the cop protecting that black girl by shooting the other black girl attacking her with a knife -

Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James faced intense backlash Wednesday over a now-deleted tweet targeting a Columbus, Ohio, police officer involved in the shooting death of 16-year-old Ma'Khia Bryant.
Bodycam footage released late Tuesday showed Bryant being shot as she was attacking another Black teen with a knife.
James suggested that the police shooting was unjustified coming on the heels of the conviction of former Minneapolis police Officer Derek Chauvin on murder and manslaughter charges in the death of George Floyd.

"YOU’RE NEXT #ACCOUNTABILITY," the NBA icon wrote with an hourglass emoji over an image of one of the officers at the scene of Bryant's shooting.

Because she had a knife in her hand and he couldn't get close enough to block it before she attacked with it.

Not invoking it got MN to interact with DHS like Texas does. Meaning, local police call DHS when they interact with an illegal alien, they hold illegal aliens in honoring ICE retainers in jail, and they hand over illegals whenever DHS asks.

A city DA is not going to alter that state of affairs.

By the way, did you know that there were only about 100 agreements between local and state police and DHS at the start of Trump's second term to hand over illegals? It's now over 1600.

Every interaction in those 1600 jurisdictions where a police meets an illegal and even assumes lack of legal authority to be in the country gets a call to ICE to come and pick them up.

Apparently that is the plan. I doubt it will work but it is what the liberals have come up with to try and thwart ice enforcement in their cities.


If one ice agent gets arrested by a local cop/sheriff that could set off a massive federal response and finally push Trump into declaring that jurisdiction has met the requirements to invoke the insurrection act.

When a judge refuses to maintain the state's part of the bargain, citizens will decide to revoke their agreement to forego violence. Which in their minds means the criminals as well as their enablers would be fair game. We need to not go there.

Nobody has to participate in their defense to find out if they are guilty or not. Defendants are sometimes totally uncooperative. Somehow, shockingly, investigators are able to determine their guilt or innocence despite not having help from the defendant.

UK "Legal" Advisors Tell Muslim Migrants to Lie and Claim That They're Gay

This would result in persecution if they were returned back home, though I don't know why it should be so, because everyone on the left tells me Muslim countries are not anti-gay at all, just anti-zionist or something.

So, as they do here in the US, people paid to advise illegal aliens simply tell them to commit perjury.

And we pay their salaries to advise illegal aliens to defraud the system.

The United Kingdom has an asylum system similar to the one we have here in the United States. The purpose of these systems is to ensure that the state doesn't deport anyone who is in danger of being killed if they are deported.

Here in the US, especially during the Biden administration, the system was widely abused by migrants who were in reality here for jobs. But they had learned from other migrants or from progressive groups in this country that by claiming asylum at the border they would be allowed in to the country and it would probably take as long as 7 years before their case would be decided by a judge.

In the vast majority of cases that judge would state the obvious, i.e. economic migrants are not covered by asylum laws. An order of deportation would be issued. But by that point, the migrant might have US born children and, whether they did or not, ICE would almost never come for them regardless of what the judge said. So long as they didn't get convicted of a felony, they were allowed to stay anyway.

In the UK, the asylum system is similarly designed to protect people who might be in danger if deported. And today the BBC reports that has created an incentive for legal advisers to recommend their clients lie about their sexuality in order to convince authorities they would be targeted if sent home. In short, claim you are gay and you'll be allowed to stay.


A shadow industry of law firms and advisers is charging thousands of pounds to help migrants pretend to be gay in order to stay in the UK, the BBC has found.

In the first part of a major undercover investigation, we reveal how migrants whose visas are due to run out are being given fake cover stories and instructed in how to obtain fabricated evidence, including supporting letters, photographs and medical reports.

They then apply for asylum claiming to be gay and in fear for their lives if they return to Pakistan or Bangladesh...

This group now makes up 35% of all asylum claims, which topped 100,000 in 2025.

The UK requires "proof of homosexuality" but that's easily obtained. Hit the link to see how they fake their Gay Paperwork. No, they don't have to have sex with a dude to prove they're gay. One man just claimed to be gay and was told he could bring over his wife from Pakistan once he got asylum -- he would just then claim that his wife is a lesbian.

Get ready for a shock:

The men trying this scam are disproportionately Pakistani.

You. Don't. Say.


Related flashback: In January of this year, The Guardian wined and sniffled that "transgenders" were being denied asylum in Netherlands because, despite their insane delusions, America is one of the safest countries in the world for "transgenders."

So they're held in refugee camps after they're denied asylum but are still waiting on their one appeal:

No other option': inside the refugee camp for trans Americans fleeing Trump

Fear, abuse and eroding rights have forced many trans people to leave the US -- can they claim asylum in the Netherlands?

Ter Apel, a small, unassuming Dutch town near the German border, is a place tourists rarely have on their itinerary. There are no lovely old windmills, no cannabis-filled coffee shops and on a recent visit it was far too early for tulip season.

When foreigners end up there, it is for one reason: to claim asylum at the Netherlands' biggest refugee camp, home to 2,000 desperate people from all around the world.


Some, like the Eritreans and Somalis, are fleeing war; the Syrians insist it remains unsafe for them to return home after the fall of Assad. But in the last year they have been joined by a curious new cohort: a bunch of Americans, who say they have feared for their lives ever since Donald Trump returned to the White House.

Their presence has surprised many of the camp's residents. "My dream is to go to America or the UK. America for me is the paradise," said Usama, a 21-year-old Libyan-Algerian hanging around the main gate. "You can work, you can make a million if you have a good idea. Why they come here?"

It is a fair question. Last year, 76 Americans claimed asylum in the Netherlands, according to the Dutch asylum and immigration ministry, up from nine in 2024. Unlike the UK, the Netherlands does not rent out hotels or houses for asylum seekers, instead housing them in fenced-off camps, officially called reception centres, dotted around the country.

Many of the American refugees, like Jane-Michelle Arc, a 47-year-old software engineer from San Francisco, are transgender. In April last year she flew into Schiphol airport in Amsterdam and, sobbing, asked a customs officer how to claim asylum. "And they laughed because: what's this big dumb American doing here asking about asylum? And then they realised I was serious."

Arc said the US had become such a hostile environment for trans people that she had stopped leaving the house "unless there was an Uber waiting outside". She said she had been abused on the street and using the ladies' toilets, and resolved to leave the country after a frightening incident when she feared a woman was going to run her over with her truck.

That flashback thanks to Greg Foreman. He points out that "normal countries," like the Netherlands, do not let "asylum seekers," almost all of whom are mere economic migrants not entitled to asylum, do not allow migrants into the country while their nonsense claims are scrutinized. Rather, they're kept in camps until their cases are resolved.

Funny thing is, by the common American understanding of the word, they ARE gay. Plenty of them have no problem sticking their dick in a dude, especially a young dude. The common Pakistani man only objects to the receivers who like getting a dick stuck in them. Those are the gays they want to kill.

Also, the white birthrate has collapsed purely because progressives have stopped having kids.

Conservative men are having 4 times as many children as progressive men.

Overall replacement birthrate is 1.3 for Democrats and 2.1 for Republicans.

Republicans are at replacement. Democrats are well below it because they've been telling themselves that having kids is selfish and the world is going to end anyway.

In fact, it still has to pass the House. The vote was on a "discharge petition" or some such construct to bypass the usual means of getting a bill to a floor vote. If you can't work the usual path of committee --> Speaker --> floor, then you take the "are we the baddies?" path of working with Dems to force it.

I think if any of these gay-claiming 'refugees' get sent back to where they belong, the locals won't ostracize them or string them up for being gay. They will regard the claim of faggotry as a clever ploy to put one over on the Western dummies; which it is.

It's like their belief that boning a guy in the ass doesn't make you gay, it makes him gay. What a loser. Offering refugee status for gayness doesn't reflect badly on them, it reflects badly on the dumb weak Western society that offers it; which it does.

Israel, Lebanon Will Observe a Cease-Fire to Discuss a Peace Treaty

lebanonmeetingwithisrael.jpg

Eh, we'll see. The problem is south Lebanon, which is filled with poor and resentful welfare-queens who are also Shia Muslims devoted to Hezballah. Because the poor, non-working welfare queens of the south need to be subsidized, the north of Lebanon sends them aid and food, but Hezballahs seizes the aid and distributes it under the Hezballah banner, out of Hezballah offices. The idiot Shia poors all think, then, that this largess comes from Hezballah.

It does not. It comes from the people in the north -- Christians, Druze, Sunni Muslims -- and is simply stolen by Hezballah.

And of course Iran pays the Hezballah terrorists, too. Syria used to as well, but Syria has mostly collapsed so I don't know how much Syria is paying to Hezballah any longer.

Most of Lebanon would like to live in peace -- but the Iran-funded, Hezballah-loyal Shias in the south won't let them. And the north of Lebanon just won't do the obvious thing, which is to separate completely from the south and declare both areas their own separate countries. I don't know why. I think it's the kind of family loyalty you have for your wayward, drug-addict, criminal, eternal fuck-up cousins. They're an unending burden but they're family.

I don't have hopes for these "peace" talks. Actual peace would require the north of Lebanon -- Christians, Druze, and Sunni -- taking military action against their own wayward terrorist moron cousins in the south, disarming them, driving out Hezballah. and posting soldiers in the south to keep an eye on the terrorists.

But they have always refused to do that, and I don't see why that would change now.
They don't want to be at war -- but the southern Shias do. And the weird thing is, it's the people who want to be at war who get to decide if you're at war or not.

I doubt it but I guess there's hope.

Meanwhile...

Iran can't pay it's own thugs now, so they certainly won't be paying the Hezbollah ones. I'm more optimistic. Also, I'm sure Israel has made it clear that they can treat South Lebanon the same way they did Gaza.

Posted by: jim (in Kalifornia) at April 16, 2026 01:23 PM (ynpvh)

29 Man, I screwed that up. Let's try again.

I don't have hopes for these "peace" talks. Actual peace would require the north of Lebanon -- Christians, Druze, and Sunni -- taking military action against their own wayward terrorist moron cousins in the south, disarming them, driving out Hezballah. and posting soldiers in the south to keep an eye on the terrorists.

But they have always refused to do that, and I don't see why that would change now.


Well, there's this:

And of course Iran pays the Hezballah terrorists, too.

Iran can't pay it's own thugs now, so they certainly won't be paying the Hezbollah ones. I'm more optimistic. Also, I'm sure Israel has made it clear that they can treat South Lebanon the same way they did Gaza.

30 >>didn't Lebanon finally take some anti-Hezballah action a few weeks ago?


They keep mouthing the words...but haven't really taken real actions.

Posted by: garrett at April 16, 2026 01:23 PM (3JuEJ)

31 "I don't have hopes for these 'peace' talks."

I'm more optimistic. I think there's been a sea change in the middle east that even the retarded moron cannibals in the south will recognize. If nothing else, there will be much less money around to fund all this barbarism.

Iran has been raped in the prison shower by the entire cell block and left bleeding out of its asshole on the bathroom floor. Iran has to worry about itself now. It will have less geedis to spread around to fund terror.

USAID money almost certainly funded a lot of the ME dysfunction too. That's dead.

I think it's a different world, with a new sheriff in town, and most of the countries in the ME seem to get this.

39 Would have been better to announce the "ceasefire" after Israel completes its operation against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon.

Of course, Israel and Lebanon already have a long-standing ceasefire between them, with the conflict occurring between Israel and Hezbollah, not involving the Lebanese military.

But the Lebanese government is too weak to assert its sovereignty against Hezbollah, even though the latter is no longer supported by Syria since the fall of Assad at the end of 2024, while Iran still provides some support but is rather preoccupied at the moment.

44 Muslims see the welfare payments as us infidels paying tribute.

It doesn't matter that they're the pathetic beggars in this relationship, us paying money to them is seen by them as a victory, as something to be proud of.

Thomas Jefferson understood that the Barbary Pirates saw the bribes that Europeans were paying them as tributes, while the Europeans saw them as nuisance payments. The pirates were so pathetic that our young navy was able to take them down, but they considered themselves as our overlords.

======

Lebanon had long, brutal civil war from 1975 to 1990. It included foreign intervention, notably the 1983 bombing of the USMC barracks in Beirut and the capture of US hostages.

Lebanon is a proxy battleground that includes regional and global proxies. i don't blame them for avoiding another internecine conflict. That wouldn't stop religious/ethnic communities from inviting outside actors to do the dirty work, however.

70 Allegedly Hezbollah was plotting a coup to formally take over the Lebanese government, and then engage in state-to-state negotiations with the Americans, but then Israel killed several hundred senior Hezbollah types simultaneously and thwarted the coup.

France protested the killing of "civilians", of course.

Most of Lebanon would like to live in peace -- but the Iran-funded, Hezballah-loyal Shias in the south won't let them.

This was one of the better responses to the papal idjit.

I have been pretty emphatic the last few days in condemning Pope Leo’s foray into American politics.

My detractors are having fun stating that I am doing this out of allegiance to President Trump and that I have chosen Trump over God.

WRONG.

The biggest reason by far why I am so vocal on this is the damage Pope Leo is doing to the Catholic Church in the USA.

I believe Pope Leo has done more to harm US Catholicism in just a few days than any other Pope of the past 100 years (even Francis).

Pope Leo is literally causing orthodox, faithful American Catholics to flee the Church out of disgust over his leftwing politicization and his kowtowing to Islam. Moreover, he has opened the door for boundless criticism against Catholicism from certain Protestant denominations and churches, causing untold harm to Christian ecumenism in the USA.

Lebanon declared Iran's ambassador persona non grata on March 24, but the Iranian ambassador refused to leave the country and wasn't forcibly expelled.

The government of Lebanon isn't willing to take any action that might trigger the renewal of its civil war and has always turned a blind eye to anything done by Hezbollah.

Hezbollah is having funding issues, as the Gulf states are suddenly reviewing all their banks for Iranian accounts to see if there is sufficient reason to freeze or seize them. Apparently bombing your neighbors where the sanction-evading bank accounts are hidden can trigger compliance audits.

Have you considered that Iran is forcing the US and Israel into ceasefire? And so for them to get ahead of such a failure. They drive the narrative that they are behind the ceasefire actually ...

So the strategy is whenever Istael want to force a country to do something they will always attack and usa will come in to..cease it? So you guys are always at the mercy of israel again and again?

There was a ceasefire before. Israel couldn't last 48 hours before they started bombing claiming "hezb" positions and infrastructure. They are literal demons that have unchecked power that no one will ever dare to say they violate, and they will never be punished.

Hez took a hit from both the unravelling of Gaza and Syria where Iran had quite the influence and control and they could always duck underground and count on one of the others to start operations and distract retribution.

Now, I expect their "income" from Iran will be cut to the bone even if the IGRC staggers out of the war in "control" and this will reduce their ability to cause trouble drastically

Thanks for posting that. I read it earlier today and have been cogitating over what has been happening between the Trump Administration and the Holy See.

1) The Left loves this. The MSM has been playing it up 24/7. They hate the Church and they hate President DJT in almost equal measures and are doing everything possible to undermine both.

2) The Catholic Church is the Universal Church. Christians are being persecuted all over the world, mainly in Communist and countries with Islamist governments. We don't hear much about their plight in the MSM, but boy howdy, Pope Leo needs to condemn US action against Iran because the MSM hates DJT. Does Pope Leo's message for global peace get covered? Hahahaha.

For the Church, there is no Left or Right - there is only Christ.

That it's still an accepted fact in the left that Iran is winning at all because of a combination of AI slop videos and text reports of destroyed US bases is hilarious.

Iran is now losing half a billion dollars a day because it can't use its southern ports, and every indication from Marine Traffic is that, yes, the US blockade works a whole lot better than the Iranian one.

189 >>> I believe Pope Leo has done more to harm US Catholicism in just a few days than any other Pope of the past 100 years (even Francis).
Pope Leo is literally causing orthodox, faithful American Catholics to flee the Church out of disgust over his leftwing politicization and his kowtowing to Islam. Moreover, he has opened the door for boundless criticism against Catholicism from certain Protestant denominations and churches, causing untold harm to Christian ecumenism in the USA.

There is doctrine/scripture, and there is policy, and there is personal belief. Leo is not the only religious church leader to get his personal beliefs confused with policy and doctrine.

It is sad to see, though. I'm not Catholic, but a vibrant Christian church of any denomination, leading souls to God's light and love, is a net plus for the world. It is sad to see that vibrancy tarnished with personal or political pettiness from the top brass.

234 Irrespective, the end result is that Democrats were able to cause controversy among the faithful in an attempt that is ultimately meant to undermine Jesus Christ. That’s where this begins and ends, and politics is simply the vehicle by which that was accomplished.

The pope has unfortunately been either a willing participant in that effort, or he was duped into it. Either way, he loses, not the church.

The Catholic Church is ultimately the cathedral of Jesus Christ. It’s bigger than any one man, pope or not. But this will incident will color any of his ex cathedra statements- badly. He’s a man of obvious biases that are applied unevenly based on whether he agrees with their political tendencies.

Well, in religion people get outraged over the dumbest things. But I do see their beef.

My church has members outraged right now, because the official LDS church social media made ONE post sharing an anecdote of a couple where the wife is in medical school and the husband supports her doing this. The biggest outcry seems to be coming from the LDS tradwife stay-at-home moms, funnily enough. That the "no success can compensate for failure in the home," "stay at home and raise your babies" push from the leaders has somehow been betrayed by this one post.

Never mind these ladies have not actually studied their own history. The pioneer women that settled the Salt Lake Valley were total badasses, and ran things like a boss, because you have to. If everyone doesn't chip in out in the desert, however they can, everyone dies. Women ran granaries and hospitals and businesses and printing presses, and were doctors, and no one batted an eye. They need to get off the tradwife influencer blogs and crack open a pioneer history book.

Is there something you could do that you really enjoy (hobby?) and take a break from the board?. The news will still be back when you get back. Also, since you're a RC, I recommend reading "The Joy of Full Surrender" by Jean Pierre De Caussaude ( 1675-1751) He was a Jesuit priest and that particular book is so uplifting and so centered on the love of Christ and his love for humanity humanity it will make you feel better, I bet.

250 Lebanon had long, brutal civil war from 1975 to 1990. It included foreign intervention, notably the 1983 bombing of the USMC barracks in Beirut and the capture of US hostages.

Lebanon is a proxy battleground that includes regional and global proxies. i don't blame them for avoiding another internecine conflict. That wouldn't stop religious/ethnic communities from inviting outside actors to do the dirty work, however.

To be completely honest, it reminds me of that time in when the head of the Sanhedrin actually prophesied inadvertently that Jesus was the savior. (somebody here will know it)

There was also a ceasefire on October 6. I'm just saying.

🚨BREAKING: The new Hungarian PM announces that from June 1st, he will END all non-European migrant work permits

"Their arrival will be reduced to zero. We want to work on returning ethnic Hungarians from Western Europe." 🇭🇺

------

Remember that hot second when people were all "Orban lost, that means Hungary is going to be like England soon!" and "Soros Jr. is happy that Orban lost, so that means that the new PM is a leftist globalist!"

Yeah...that was fun.

A new CBS poll found that 58% of weekly Mass-attending Catholics approve of President Trump’s job performance overall.

Not surprising, as these are the Catholics taking the faith seriously rather than just bearing the title.

Catholics understand that President Trump is by and large getting the policy right.

-------

Oh, look.

Trump's approval with Catholics is right in line with his elevated performance in the 2024 election (he won 56% as opposed to the normal 48-52% GOP candidates get from the Catholic voting bloc over the past few decades).

Weird.

Still needs work on keeping the throwdowns accurate and blocking, although they won their games 8-4 and 12-4.

I am arguably the most consequential national security reporter in the United States of America today. 

Over the past year, my work has lead to the removal of the Director and Deputy Director of the National Security Agency (NSA), the removal of the Director of the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency, the removal of the Director and Deputy Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, and the removal of several other lower level Department of War officials.

My reporting has also led to over 40 Deep State, communist, and Jihadi officials having their security clearances revoked, including Maher Bitar. Additionally, I got the Gaza visa program shut down, I got Hunter Biden and Ashley Biden’s Secret Service details revoked, and I also got Qasem Soleimani’s niece and grand niece arrested by ICE. They will soon be deported. I also got the DOJ @PamBondi to pressure the Big Tech app stores to DELETE all ICE tracking apps from their App Stores after I tracked down the founders of the apps and exposed every ICE tracking app in the App Store.

I will not collect millions in ad revenue from YouTube or X. I will not score major endorsement deals.

I do this work because I am a proud American patriot and I am loyal to President Donald Trump and his MAGA vision which makes America safer.

The A-10 and its guns were to kill heavy armored tanks. Back in WWII they found that medium bombers with gobs of 50 cal guns could chew up destroyers and cargo ships which is all we are facing in the Gulf now.

335 Oldcat, credit this guy for inventing the modern gunship. Started out as enlisted Navy aviation mechanic in WWI, became a pilot as enlisted and instructed Naval aviators at Pensacola, retired to setup an airline in the Philippines Islands in 1939. After the Japanese invasion, his family was taken to a concentration camp and Pappy Gunn with his planes flew out VIPS to Australia. Reenlisted but this time in the Army. He did what the tech guys thought was impossible due to his intimate understanding of aircraft. He also flew all his innovations first rather than leave them for others to risk.

Paul Irvin "Pappy" Gunn (October 18, 1899 – October 11, 1957) was a former United States naval aviator known mainly for his actions in the Second World War as an officer in the United States Army Air Forces. He was known as "an expert in dare-devil low-level flying," and recognized for numerous feats of heroism and mechanical ingenuity, especially modifications to the Douglas A-20 Havoc light bomber and B-25 Mitchell medium bomber that turned them into attack aircraft.

In addition to the DFC x2, Gunn was also awarded the Silver Star, Legion of Merit, Air Medal and 9 Purple Hearts.

Credibly Accused Rapist and Former Virginia Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax Murders Wife, Shoots Self in Murder-Suicide

You probably remember the name but may have some trouble remembering the details.

Back during BlackFaceGate, where they totally not-racist Democrat Governor Ralph Northam turned out to have worn black face multiple times in college -- and then his totally not-racist AG was revealed to have done so as well -- there was no push for Northam to resign in favor of his Lt. Governor Justin Fairfax because, get this, multiple women came forward accusing Fairfax of having raped them during his college years and then in his early adulthood.

Because this was a Democrat, #BelieveAllWomen did not apply, and there was no pressure for Fairfax to resign. Nor was there any pressure for the blackface-wearing governor and AG to resign. See, it's (D)ifferent.

Well, it turns out that Justin Fairfax wasn't just a rapist, but an incipient murderer.

WASHINGTON -- Embattled former Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax killed his estranged wife and himself inside their million-dollar home outside the nation's capital early Thursday, cops said.

The 47-year-old Democrat repeatedly shot Cerina Fairfax in the basement of their Annandale residence just after midnight before turning the gun on himself in another part of the abode, according to Fairfax County Police Chief Kevin Davis.

The couple's two teenage children were inside the home at the time of the murder-suicide, and their son called 911 to report the shootings.


"It is high-profile in nature, it's tragic in nature. Certainly a fall from grace for a relatively high-profile family that seemingly had had a lot of things going in their favor," Davis told reporters shortly before the couple's bodies were removed from the home.

Obviously the chief of police in this ultra-blue county is a Democrat, because you usually don't say that a repeat rapist really had it going on.

But again, it's (D)ifferent.


"So, tragic for the children to lose both parents, extra tragic for them to actually be in the home when it occurred. So yeah, there's a lot going on."

Psychopathic monster.

And this was a high-ranking Democrat Party official.

...

Four years later, Fairfax was elected lieutenant governor to Ralph Northam, but his own ambitions for higher office were derailed in 2019 after multiple women came forward to accuse him of sexual assault.

...

"This has been an ongoing domestic dispute surrounding what seems to be a complicated or messy divorce," Davis said.

...


Police had responded to the family home back in January after Fairfax accused his wife of assaulting him.

Investigators later determined he'd lied after reviewing footage from multiple cameras that Cerina had set up inside the home.

Huh. We didn't hear anything about that.

Again, it's (D)ifferent.

...

At least two women publicly accused Fairfax of sexually assaulting them in 2000 and 2004.

Vanessa Tyson, an associate professor at Scripps College and fellow at Stanford University, accused Fairfax of raping her at a hotel during the 2004 Democratic National Convention in Boston.

Fairfax denied the accusation, saying the encounter was consensual.

Then a second woman, Meredith Watson, came forward to claim Fairfax raped her in a "premeditated and aggressive" attack in 2000 while they were both at Duke.

The Democrat Party is the party of psychopaths, rapists, and killers. It must be purged, Baath-style.

There's something conservatives say which I'm sick of: "We think the Democrats are wrong, while they think we're evil."

This is supposed to make us sound reasonable and grown-up.

It's stupid and it's a lie -- they are evil.

And I'm tired of the soft-heads who say otherwise.

They just don't have bad policies -- they have bad brains. They have bad morals, bad psychologies, bad motives, and plenty of bad faith. They're bad people.

Yes of course there are those who are simply deluded and brainwashed, but the party -- especially at its operator levels -- is all about malice and greed.

If you read Marx, what you instantly realize is that he has built a "politics" out of his deep character flaw (and possibly mental illness). That psychological problem is malicious envy. He sees something he wants, but cannot achieve, so he invents a philosophy of Gimme Gimme to explain why the power of the state should be used to take the thing he wants from its owner and give it to him.

The entire Democrat Party is based on envy and people who think they "deserve." They're generally not smart nor productive, but they "deserve" top-paying jobs and of course enormous respect and social status.

They're unattractive and unappealing, but they deserve the absolute highest quality mates and free sex on demand. Many, like Eric Swalwell, will resort to rape when the "deserving" they feel about women's affections goes unfulfilled.

And they construct psychopath-level manipulations to demonstrate to you that they are morally entitled to use state coercion to take what you have -- "expropriate" -- and appropriate it for themselves.

James Lindsey calls "critical theories" "cynical theories," because "critical theory" is nothing but a cynical, self-interested, greedy, envious, spiteful attempt to manipulate you into accepting that what you have actually, rightfully belongs to them.

Say that's a nice house, Madam. But you built on "stolen land" so I should have your house. Yes, I'm 1/1028th Cherokee, my "family lore" says, but even if I weren't, I have the moral perfection to properly cherish this Stolen Land and do honor to the tribes you stole it from by "living in harmony" with the salon and master bedroom.

It's just gimme, gimme, gimme all the way down. Low-quality people spamming out ridiculous manipulations to seize all the high-quality jobs and goods.

It is an artificial caste system created to privilege the psychopaths over their marks and victims.

It is, as a Rick and Morty joke said, just slavery with extra steps.

Hello! Despite my current disgust, it's a great day.

I have made the first (I hope) step towards achieving a dream: Befriending a crow. A crow landed on my deck (near my well-varnished desk) and quickly scrambled to find some old cereal to feed him. He didn't fly off even when I had opened the door and was tossing food around. He just ate with me a few steps away.

I've now tossed out some keto bread -- I don't think that will hurt a bird, because keto bread is made mostly of bullshit and self-delusion (it's just fucking bread; the increased price is a tax on stupidity) -- and am waiting, hoping he will return to eat more.

So that's pretty good, isn't it?

I typed in "how to befriend" and Google auto-completed "a crow." That kind of indicates the system is spying on me, doesn't it? (Or maybe I've just typed that in before.)

Befriending a crow requires patience, consistency, and high-value treats to build trust. Start by consistently offering raw, unsalted peanuts, dry dog food, or suet in the same spot daily. Keep a calm demeanor, avoid direct eye contact or sudden movements, and allow them to approach you on their own terms.

Ordering unsalted peanuts now, Cap'n!

14 Fairfax was the East Coast Swalwell before Swalwell. Seeing what happened to Swalwell this week, and Fairfax's wife filing more papers in their divorce (probably over his fraud on the DV complaint) meant he was losing everything...and possibly even looking at jail for the fake complaint. And amoral people who lose everything are dangerous.

As I mentioned last thread, Mrs Swalwell (and Mrs Delgado if there is one) should be walking with the kids right about now.

The incentive structure to rise up on an already established political machine is about ass kissing, never policy or anything to do with voters.

Smart people can easily rise up in that environment, but if you combine that with stupid people getting into high positions, the people in the high positions don't want smart people to make them feel dumb. So, they push out the smart people and replace them with dumber people than them to feel superior.

This degrades the overall machine, but entrenched political machines have a lot of ruin in them.

That's referencing a raven, not a crow.

Ravens are typically larger than crows, with a wingspan of 45–51 inches compared to crows' 36 inches, and they have a diamond-shaped tail in flight, while crows have a fan-shaped tail.

Additionally, ravens produce a deep, throaty croak, whereas crows make a harsh caw.

Fairfax denied the accusation, saying the encounter was consensual.

Then a second woman, Meredith Watson, came forward to claim Fairfax raped her in a "premeditated and aggressive" attack in 2000 while they were both at Duke.

The papers possibly could have required him to immediately leave the premises. That would make sense in a timeline, but no one is saying what they are.

Sometimes they find me to tell me about Imminent Crow Starvation and sometimes I humor them. Most recently a junior crow, who I think is setting up his nest for the first time, has started sitting on my garage roof (which I can see from my office window) and showing off the absolutely perfect sticks he's found. Usually three times longer than him. He turns his head several times for me to fully admire the glory before flying off to delight the missus. Crows are funny.

227 years ago, my boss and her husband were divorcing (amicably enough) and they asked me to be a witness to the fact that they had fulfilled their year apart, as I was also a friend to both and a frequent guest at the house.

He was sometimes present during the year, as they owned several small businesses together which necessitated him being in town for shared business action on occasion, before the division of property.

I was asked a lot of questions on the stand as to whether I ever saw anything in the home, such as a toothbrush or shaving equipment in the bathroom, that could indicate that he was present in a more intimate capacity.

260 Ace, I can absolutely confirm that dry dog food kibble is the best treat to lure crows to your deck and befriend you. In the past, I hd a similar expeirence to you with the friendly crow, also read recommendations, and tried ot dog food -- and they loved it.

HOWEVER, note these important provisos:

Some dog fopd kibble has piece that are TOO BIG fr crows to eat, so I discovered a clever workarnd

1. Buy PUPPY chow, not dog chow. Puppy chow has smaller pieces, which crows like better.

2. The puppy chpw might also attract other unwanted vermin, so figure out a way to keep it contained and not be spread all over the place.

3. Beware that crows poop a lot, and their poops are big, so while they're standing around on your deck waiting for puppy chow, they will leave droppings that you will have to later clean up. That's the reality of wild animals -- they just poo where they stand.

Peanuts can work good too, but in my experience the peanuts attracted other birds too (mostly bluejays), which ended up scaring the crows off. So I ended up avoiding peanuts for crow-luring.

Good luck!

272 After leaving the Navy, I was unemployed for a bit and had very little to do to pass the time. I lived in an apartment complex with a ton of oak trees. Squirrels everywhere.

One day, I tossed a still-in-the-shell peanut out on the deck and waited. Within just a few minutes, a squirrel came by, snatched it and scampered off.

Did that a few times then got bored. Grabbed a needle and thread from the wife's sewing table, lashed two peanuts together and tossed it out on the deck.

Gone in 60 seconds.

Stitched three peanuts together and tossed that out.

Gone.

Kept doing that, adding one peanut at a time to the 'train' before tossing it out on the deck.

I got up to well over a dozen peanuts stitched together. It was funny watching the squirrel run off with the peanut train in its mouth.

Eventually, I got bored with that too and took a nap on the sofa. When I woke up and looked out onto the deck, I saw the squirrel sitting there with its nose pressed up against the glass.

I laughed and closed the blinds.

306 291 Speaking of owls we had a huge one hang out in the trees behind the house.. When we had a new puppy we were potty training outside at night we had to watch out for it...


we were talking about this this morning (after I got that "hey there" from the big owl) and really owls are not strong even if they have a big wingspan. I don't worry about an owl actually being able to make off with a puppy (normal sized).

but we have hawks. those guys DO take pups! they're still cool tho

307 A car driving down the street clipped a woodpecker, broke its wing, the poor bird was hobbling at the base of a tree. It caught notice of a cat.Then a group of crows showed up and caw-intimidated the cat. They really did try to protect their wounded cousin. Then a neighbor walked out to get his mail (the crows were making a huge racket) but stupid neighbor didn't notice any of it until the return trip under the tree. He stopped, looked up dumbfounded, then walked on.

Good gawd but but he's an idiot.

312 I had a next-door neighbor who used to leave out Ritz crackers and Snickers bars for the squirrels and birds, and have fun watching the critters fight over them.

--

We put out a dried fruit and nut mix for the squirrels not too long ago. We have woods right behind us. It was so cute watching one squirrel find this manna from heaven, take a little nut, run away with it for 2 minutes, come right back and grab another piece of fruit and run off, 2 minutes later come for another piece and run off....he or she was obviously taking it to a hiding place one piece at a time. It was just the cutest thing to watch.

341 Fairfax and his wife were going through a messy divorce but still living together? Yea, that's a recipe for disaster.

It used to be a requirement in "no fault" divorces that the couple formally separate and live separate lives for a year (or six months). Courts took the requirement seriously.

In some cases (mostly due to finances), the couple would live "separate" but in the same house. That was almost always a disaster.

The current trend is to allow "no fault" divorce based just on a statement that the marriage is dead. The idea is to get these people apart and end the marriage as quickly as possible.

My ex tried to do a standoff on the house when I finally got the guts to leave, and of course he made it as awful as humanly possible. He didn’t want to be considered as having abandoned the property - but it was obviously untenable for me to stay, so I left and he immediately filed saying I abandoned it.

376 Someone has probably already mentioned it, but back in the Northam days, if he resigned, the AG would have to resign for the same reason, and then there would be Fairfax, who would also have to resign, leaving the next in line for the governor the leader in the state senate, who happened to be Republican. Can't do the decent and moral thing if it meant losing power. That would be assuming the Democrats have morals or decency, which they don't.

I bought one of those shirts for my mom! The problem is that most people in the USA don't know there's a bird called a "boobie," so they don't get the joke.

The blue feet on the booby are not natural. The feet turn blue because of certain fish they eat that contain an enzyme (?) or something that turns the feet skin blue.

The blue feet are a major factor in finding mates. The males do a mating dance that shows off their blue feet -- the bluer the better -- and the female chooses a mate based largely on that.

Shelled if other birds are a problem.
Lightly salted is OK if you rub off the salt.

453 Politics in general attracts delusional narcissists, much like you'd have to be at least a little bit nutty to go into show business. But Democrats channel their delusion through a mindset of permanent revolution; theirs isn't just a narcissistic disorder, it's messianic and therefore much, much more destructive. It's why e.g. mutilating children in and out of the womb isn't merely not anathema but celebrated and sanctified, because parenthood must be destroyed to further the revolution.

The Morning Rant: Broken Windows Theory

bengraffiti26.jpg

Great cities fail for reasons that seem unimportant, but in retrospect are monumental. The 1982 "Broken Windows Theory" of James Q. Wilson and George Kelling has been mocked and minimized by the rulers of the very cities whose decline can be linked to it, but the correlation is undeniable.

It is simple and obvious; Visible signs of disorder such as litter, graffiti, minor traffic infractions, turnstile-jumping, public drinking, and a thousand other seemingly trivial violations of the basic rules of human conduct, lead to the inescapable conclusion that no one is in charge...that the social order is eroding.

The cascade is clear: law-abiding people begin to avoid those areas, informal social control decreases, those areas become more attractive to offenders, serious crime increases, and the cycle deepens and spreads.

New York City is a perfect example of this. Beginning in the 1960s with four consecutive Democrat mayors, the city descended into chaos. Murder rates tripled, armed robbery rates quadrupled, abandoned buildings became ubiquitous. The city was covered in litter and graffiti, with burned and abandoned cars littering the streets and highways.

But 30 years of violence and decay ended abruptly with the election of Rudy Giuliani as mayor in 1994. His fix was simple. Zero tolerance for crime, no matter how trivial. "Stop And Frisk" became the norm, littering was taken seriously, subway cars were cleaned of graffiti, traffic laws were enforced, turnstile jumping became a crime again, and the hundreds of seemingly trivial, seemingly victimless crimes were taken seriously.

The result was a new golden age for New York City. And the next mayor continued many of Giuliani's policies, so for 20 years the city was an invigorated and vibrant place. But as usual, all good things must come to an end, and the changing demographics of NYC allowed the election of progressive Democrat mayors who carefully gutted the policies that had protected NYC from itself! And as fast as Giuliani repaired the damage from the previous series of Democrats, de Blasio and Adams allowed it to return. And the newest mayor will add fanatical Islamist policies to his destructive progressivism that rewards criminality.

But this time there is no core of traditional middle class New Yorkers who will push back against the decay. The city has become a city of immigrants...both legal and illegal...who have no memory of New York City's glory. They have brought their home countries' sensibilities and cultural mores, and they do not include those things that can again save New York City.

So why Big Ben adorned with graffiti? I have been to London perhaps 20 times in the past 10 years, and I see the exact same thing happening, albeit slower. Graffiti in London? Yes. Loud and antisocial behavior on the Tube? Yes. Spitting in the streets? Yes. Litter and mess and aggressive driving and street crime and all of the things that will speed the decay in a vicious feedback loop. It's here, and shows no signs of changing.

London also has a generation's head start on the Islamist policies, with a Muslim mayor and a huge Muslim population that is becoming restive, aggressive, and demanding that London bends to it.

And that will be coming to NYC soon

I recall reading in the mid-2000's that Londan was over 50% foreign born, and likely more due to illegal immigrants flying under the radar. Twenty years later and it's a conquered city.

WHen people respond to Mamdani's projects "But this will make the productive people flee!" they seem to mis that this is the point. Clear out the old New Yorkers to make space (and occupy quickly sold real estate) for the new, foreign, non-western population he represents. He wants normies to flee -- that's the goal, not an unintended consequence.

The New York Times ran an article during this period denouncing Giuliani because the evil NYPD was enforcing these rules in a "vibrant Brooklyn neighborhood".

The evil cops were trying to turn the neighborhood into "Mayberry", you see.

The NYT quoted a number of people in the neighborhood denouncing the NYPD's enforcement policies.

It turned out that all the people the NYT quoted in the article had one thing in common - they had all been arrested for dealing heroin.

35 So it seems that Cloward Piven works until it does not.
We see it may work in a neighborhood to get city money thrown at a problem but once CP is played against a larger geography or population there is a great chance that normal people will look the other way or just move away from the problem.
Then there is less tax base (both income and property) and the people that Play the CP card are left with less.

Played at the State level you end up with a great place like CO seeing 100 business (Fortune 1000 level) leave since 2020.

Should home cooks have the right to sell food out of their own kitchens? Well, the Tamale Act under consideration in the Colorado legislature is one example from the food freedom movement now gaining nationwide traction. . . .
That's Ryan Gonzalez, the Republican state representative sponsoring the Colorado proposal to bring those DIY entrepreneurs out of the shadows. It's dubbed the Tamale Act after the tamale ladies in his neighborhood in Greeley, about 50 miles northeast of Denver. Gonzalez says legitimacy would bring them more economic opportunity, a path to build a strong customer base before going all-in on business investments.

GONZALEZ: This is a policy that will be a stepping stone for cottage food vendors to eventually start a business and get there and have a restaurant and participate, pay the taxes. . .

69 LONG TIME lurker here, and i know I'm gonna catch flack for this, but here it is anyways, " Nuke the site from orbit, it's the only way to be sure." I am from NE NJ, have watched the slow spread of shit spreading out from NYC from the Islamists, and it has been spreading into the entire part of NE NJ (Paterson being a huge example) and it our lovely Governor, the Helicopter Pilot, has even taken photos with some lovely imams, and it is just a matter of time before those Islamists feel that they are strong enough, have the numbers, and really start to turn up the agitating and it goes from there. The weird bedfellows of the Marxist Democrats and the Islamists are feeling rather strong here on the East Coast, from Maine with that frigging Nutzi candidate to The Children of the Corn looking Spamburger and her college roommate Rebecca Sherril who is doing all she can to make NJ affordable for Illegal Invaders. They are digging in and getting ready for a brawl. I pray that the Trump Administration brings in some heavy artillery to dig these traitors to US Citizens out, because it will get ugly.

Oh yeah. Whining about how Giuliani had "Disneyfied" Times Square by cleaning up all the garbage.

I have three fond memories of New Yawk City during two trips there. Seeing Les Paul play at Iridium; a full day wandering around The Met seeing some of the greatest art in the world; and seeing the Giants lose the SuperBowl at ESPN Zone in Times Square.

After the game, NYPD came in and grabbed a guy off of a warrant and dragged him out the front door. It was amusing as hell watching him yell GIULIANI TIME! GIULIANI TIME! as he was frog-marched past us and stuffed into a cruiser.

This means Trump has record high immigration detention, record high immigrant removal, record high asylum denial, and migrants arrested under him have very low chances of getting out.

Aside from some nostalgic feelings I have for NYC the reason I care is because this type of cancer never stops at borders. Big cities are the obvious first target but it will spread.

CATO analysis on the early phase of Trump's immigration crackdown:

Refugees down 90%, permanent immigrants down 50% or more, H-1B -25% (-80% for new applicants), students down 40%. Trump not only has a net outflow of illegals but an increasingly narrow entry for legal migrants.

Put simply: It doesn't matter what Boomer talk thing Trump says one day or the other. Stephen Miller is in charge of immigration, and the Trump admin remains deeply anti-immigrant until Trump fires Miller.

I would say Yes gladly to that, but as far as i have seen in most areas on NJ that i have visited, Conservatives in NJ are either outnumbered by the whack-a-do Left or are just too apathetic/too busy working jobs to get out and fight, and when we do try and get heard, we get shouted out/down by the big mouthed and aggressive Leftists. We get arrested, we get to go to court with a nice friendly Leftist judge and get fined/jail time. Leftists get arrested, well they normally go in the court, and the DA's drop the charges or the lovely activist judges toss the case out. It is difficult to get any good out of the corrupt as hell NJ court system. Wish i could be more optimistic about NJ, but it gets more and more difficult and crazier by the day here. My father witnessed it first hand as a veteran NJ Police Officer, and i have seen it first hand as well. It is depressing, the Corrupt Marxist Democrat Machine here in NJ has been well dug in for decades. It makes the old NJ Mafia look like boy scouts.

135 NYC and CA have done a great job of driving those who oppose the Democrat Socialist agenda out and relocating to more sane locales.
This ensures that a Giuliani-type will not ever be elected to fix the descend back into 1070's style crime and chaos in NYC.
Nor will a GOP Governor ever have the ability to effect real change in CA.
The Sacto Democrats hold a super majority in the CA Assembly and Senate. Thus, even if Steve Hilton or Chad Bianco manage to overcome the completely corrupt mail-in, drop box and ballot harvesting machine that the CA Democrats have engineered to ensure their hold on power, that GOP Governor's agenda will be DOA and any vetoes he attempts to thwart the CTA/SEIU/Trial Lawyers from their continued destruction of the Golden State will be over-ridden.
Sadly, there is no saving CA at this point. Or NYC.

No, it's anti-legal immigrant too.

Hence the drops in asylum claims, naturalizations, visa grants (including, yes, H1-Bs which are down 90% for new issuances), and the sudden embrace of denaturalization as a response to criminal activity.

It's straight anti-immigrant.

Yep. Detroit has made a giant turnout in the past 10-12 years. There are still a lot of shitty areas. But the trend is definitely in the right direction. It’s not the Detroit people think of.

Entrenched stereotypes of cities never die though and Detroit will always be seen as what it was at its worst. I see the same thing with SLC. People still think of a conservative Mormon all white city from 1985. That’s not a thing anymore, Today’s SLC is illegals, gangs and blue hairs.

181 Los Angeles is a cautionary tale, as is San Francisco (I suppose).

Democrats, when elected, spend money on other Democrats and, mostly, those people contribute nothing to society except resource consumption. New Jersey state spending per resident is estimated at $9130, versus Florida at $4960 (Texas is even lower, at $4620).

The extra money spent delivers no additional services to me. In fact, the roads are worse and the state service providers are ruder, less competent and less courteous. Having lived in both Florida and New Jersey, I can honestly say I have no idea why anyone thinks New Jersey is $4200 per resident a better place.

I assume that is the price of political patronage. In other words, each NJ resident is sending $4200 to Democrat partisans masquerading as "state workers".

Boston is a very old city, obviously. The roads were laid out first for horses and horse drawn vehicles. And over the years the geography of the city changed as parts of the Bay were filled in to create what Boston looks like today.

In some areas new roads were grafted on to old ones, roads ended abruptly for seemingly no reason and all sorts of odd situations. The area I used to live in, the Back Bay, was just that, the Bay. When they laid out the roads it was in a very logical grid pattern and the streets are alphabetical. That area is a snap.

While I was visiting in Seattle, I went for a drive with Nurse R up to another town to meet Mark Andrew Edwards and another Moron. We had nice visit. Driving through Seattle the graffiti alongside the cross-town freeway was disgusting, with evidently no effort having been made to clean it up. Seattle is a shithole.

217 Boston is a very old city, obviously. The roads were laid out first for horses and horse drawn vehicles. And over the years the geography of the city changed as parts of the Bay were filled in to create what Boston looks like today.

In some areas new roads were grafted on to old ones, roads ended abruptly for seemingly no reason and all sorts of odd situations. The area I used to live in, the Back Bay, was just that, the Bay. When they laid out the roads it was in a very logical grid pattern and the streets are alphabetical. That area is a snap.
Posted by: JackStraw

A few days ago, someone posted a map that was on Reddit showing the various land reclamations in Boston since colonial times. I shared that with my brother-in-law, whose daughter lives in Boston, and he said all those reclamations are probably the reason why it's such a horrible city to drive in, with some streets not even in a straight line for more than a block or two.

Outright pause requires an act of Congress.

There are too many visa categories that were passed as "shall issue" on the executive rather than "may issue". Things like spousal visas or some classes of worker visas (hence why H1-B is reduced and not eliminated).

232 I think Trump just threw down on Xi's attempts to send MANPADS and other weaponry to Iran.

Trump's Iran Blockade Just Got Bigger

“In addition to enforcing the blockade, all Iranian vessels, vessels with active OFAC sanctions, and vessels suspected of carrying contraband, are subject to belligerent right to visit and search,” U.S. Naval Forces Central Command (NAVCENT) announced on Thursday. But here's where it gets really interesting: "These vessels, regardless of location, are subject to visit, board, search, and seizure.”

Emphasis added because that's serious.

Regardless of location? If I'm reading that right, the "Persian Gulf blockade" just went global.

Joint Chiefs chair Gen. Dan Caine confirmed the expanded scope this morning during a presser with War Secretary Pete Hegseth. "Under the command of Adm. Paparo, we’ll actively pursue any Iranian-flagged vessel or any vessel attempting to provide material support to Iran," Caine said. "This includes dark fleet vessels carrying Iranian oil. As most of you know, dark fleet vessels are those illicit or illegal ships evading international regulations, sanctions, or insurance requirements."

272 226 Even if immigration stopped today, it’s too late. Legacy Americans are not having kids anymore. Foreigners.”

Not true - conservative Christians are, so are orthodox Jewish families. It’s white progs who won’t have any kids. I’ve been saying for a long time that within about 40 years, America will be about 50% conservative Christians and 50% Mexican. Which will be interesting.

Sad part is that demographically, blacks are really shrinking as a major population segment. They’re destined to become increasingly irrelevant. (Most will intermarry with the other larger groups)

And I'm all for it.

And I'm not implying that Trump is planning on firing Miller. From the outside, it seems like they have a decent professional relationship and Miller understands that he's not to make an ass of himself (he's apparently been very against the Iran action but doesn't interview about it).

274 Democrat former Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax, who called me an "extremist" after I peacefully handed out standard capacity magazines at the Virginia State Capitol Building, has reportedly killed his wife and himself with a gun.

He pushed for "red flag laws" and a ban on "high capacity magazines."

You can, although I understand it's not particularly flavorsome. It was a popular centerpiece in mediaeval and early Renaissance times, but more for show than anything else.

I made a quick check of the five mediaeval cookery books I have, but although I know I've seen a swan recipe, I can't find one just now.

Posted by: cmeat at April 16, 2026 09:42 AM (R11M+)

63 A complex arrangement of shapes. At first glance you think the woman's head is attached to the swans' bodies, and the arms to the right of the muscular boatman are disembodied. Then you realize there is a complete woman there, lifting a small cushion or mattress out of a skiff; the arms belong to another man who is either salaam-ing or inspecting the boat; and there is a third figure toting two large pillows.

On the other hand, there are two trousered legs stepping out of another boat with swans in it. If there are a torso and head attached to those legs, I can't see them.

They're credited with warning the Romans of a barbarian attack on the Capitoline Hill (the Romans had taken refuge there against a Gaulish invasion).

The geese became sacred.

I'll have to check that out. I'm not a very good cook, so my interest is more on history and the appetite that reading about food engenders.* If that sort of thing appeals to you, I recommend Bridget Ann Henisch's Fast and Feast: Food in Medieval Society. It's about the Middle Ages' attitudes toward food, its preparation and presentation.

125 MP4, there was an interesting detail in the Stan and Ollie movie. It starts out in 1937, when the duo were at their height in Hollywood.

Ollie tells Stan that he's having a party on his yacht, and mentions that Clark Gable and Carole Lombard are going to be there.

Assuming this is true, and not artistic license, it blows me away. You think of Oliver Hardy as just an exasperated fat guy in comedy shorts. But here he was hosting freakin' Clark Gable, the King of Hollywood. Amazing. It's easy to forget what a small town that place was back in the day.

139 Amazing. It's easy to forget what a small town that place was back in the day.

Very true. Hollywood was very much a company town, where stars, character actors and technical people all ate and socialized (in their own orbits) at the same places. Of course, when Beverly Hills and Bel Air became swanky spots, the big names moved, but you could still star-watch at the Brown Derby or Musso & Frank's.

If I could, I would love to have lived in Hollywood during the first decade of the 20th century. That was, IMO, the real wonder age of movies.

The Stanley Spencer Gallery - Swan Upping

Swan Upping returns to Cookham: a living tradition
This July, the River Thames will once again host the historic Swan Upping ceremony, a royal tradition dating back to the 12th century. As the flotilla of skiffs glides past the village of Cookham, visitors will witness a spectacle of pageantry, and heritage—just as Stanley Spencer once did.

Swan Upping is the annual census of the swan population on stretches of the Thames in the counties of Middlesex, Surrey, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire and Oxfordshire. This historic ceremony dates from the twelfth century, when the Crown claimed ownership of all mute swans. The King’s Swan Marker and the accompanying Swan Uppers of the Vintners’ and Dyers’ Livery Companies use six traditional Thames rowing skiffs in their five-day journey upstream to Abingdon.
-
Stanley Spencer’s deep connection to Cookham and its traditions is beautifully captured in his painting “Swan Upping at Cookham” (1915–19). In this work, Spencer transforms the ceremonial into the spiritual, portraying the Swan Uppers as almost angelic figures... (more)

Interesting lesson but would pass hanging. Thanks

People in New York City who are looking forward to the city-owned grocery stores promised by the new democratic socialist (communist) Mayor Zohran Mamdani are going to be waiting for quite a while.

Not only is the first new store going to cost upwards of $30 million in tax dollars, it’s not going to be ready until 2029. Just think of how many people are going to get in on that grift over the course of the next three years. There is apparently another store that will open in 2027 which won’t require construction because it’ll be housed in an existing building

Go Gaia and the unlubed razorred dildo of consequences.

Australia's failed "green" domestic energy policies had already sparked a fuel-supply shock shortly after the U.S.-Iran conflict disrupted tankers at the Hormuz chokepoint. Now, a fire has broken out at the larger of Australia's two remaining oil refineries, adding even more fuel supply woes.

184 I grew up SW Michigan. One county over, on the St. Joseph River, is a cave, Bear Cave (the only cave in Michigan IIRC). It was often used as a hideout by bank robbers, and thus was used as a set in William Porter's The Great Train Robbery in 1903.

And the latest study indicates that taking edibles or marijuana in any form once per week by a man makes birth defects more likely and conception more difficult.

"Male marijuana use during the preconception period is associated with a significantly increased risk of spontaneous abortion (miscarriage) for the female partner. A prospective cohort study found that men who used marijuana ≥1 time/week in the two months before conception had twice the risk (adjusted hazard ratio of 2.0) of their partners experiencing a miscarriage compared to non-users, while use less than once a week showed no significant increase in risk.

The risk is most pronounced in early pregnancy (before 8 weeks' gestation) and among men aged 35 and older, where the hazard ratio rises to 4.1. Researchers suggest this link is driven by THC binding to cannabinoid receptors in testicular tissue and sperm. . . "

222 Virginia is really trying to be the worst mid-Atlantic state on the east coast.

It's a crowded field. And I'm not sure one can blame the federal government's proximity as the only reason. Certainly a big one, but not the only one. NoVA is a well worn out nest of leftists with a small number of sane holdouts. I used to live there. It was a mess back in the 90's.

But with regards to Spamburger or whatever her name is, I seriously doubt she won with a plurality of possible voters. Many in the western part of the state, and south of Richmond probably didn't vote as the R candidate was... less than optimal in their eyes.

Seems to have been a mixture of things.

Sears made anti-Trump noises and was a bad campaigner.

The plan that put Youngkin in place (look up the Virginia Project) got completely abandoned and Democrats took up the strategy instead.

Youngkin did just this side of nothing to combat fraud in the state (oh...he did the minimum on voter rolls...huzzah...I'm sure Richmond and Arlington are otherwise pitch perfect and never do anything wrong in their counting ever and don't need serious investigation from the VA DOJ).

And the shutdown probably helped juice the numbers, but it was going to be a GOP loss no matter what because Youngkin actively abandoned the Virginia Project.

Kind of. There are plenty of men that are so weak, slothful, and pathetic, that they adopt Leftwing positions so they can reap the benefits of other people's work. Modern feminism is 50% socialism, so they naturally coexist. The other 50% of man-hating and victim Olympics are just part of the Lefty experience, so again, just assumed.

Men have to achieve what women view as valuable to compete for attention, so Lefty men do end up embarrassing themselves trying to be the most Lefty, emotional, and feminist...which counterintuitively makes them so soy even liberal women don't find them sexually attractive (but they're great friends and allies...for men (spit)).

Unfortunately, the US military has a long tradition of West Point ring-knocker flag officers who think that the President and others in the military chain of command works for them, rather than the other way around. Goes back to the beginning with that coward Horatio Gates, who openly despised George Washington during the Revolution and would regularly ignore Washington's orders, even plotting against him with the Conway Cabal.

Lincoln had serious problems with this, like when McClellan refused to take the Army into the field on a regular basis, or the head of the Ordnance Dept who just came right out and refused Lincoln's orders to acquire repeating arms like the Spenser, Sharps and Henry rifles after Lincoln was shown their clear advantages.

MacArthur's stupid shit in WWII and Korea is a direct descendent. Dood was seriously overrated as a field commander, did pretty good as Governor of occupied Japan, to be fair.

The Morning Report -- 4/ 16/26

Spanlucha.jpg

Good morning kids. Hoping that you all had at least a little carfare in your pockets that the shakedown artists at the IRS missed yesterday. In any case, the Democrats in California are smelling blood and flatus in the water as they circle the political carcass of Eric Swalwell. As the estimable Miranda Devine reminds us, the only reason he's gone is they are fearful of the possibility that the GOP could in theory, thanks to that state's fercockter electoral system wind up actually winning the Governorship. regardless of the mass of illegal aliens, dead people and deadbeats and Democrat election thievery.

Eric Swalwell was Nancy Pelosi’s made man, the golden child of San Francisco’s rotten machine politics.
Today he’s roadkill, his name erased from the sign outside his congressional office, vultures feasting on his ­remains.
Swalwell’s clinical political eradication this week tells you everything about the Democratic Party and how ruthlessly and efficiently they will move to keep to power in the state they have controlled for 15 years and run into the ground.
California, our most populous and richest state, is the engine of their vast patronage system, fueled in part by illegal migration and social services fraud that has ripped tens, perhaps hundreds, of billions of dollars off the taxpayer and recycled it through unions and “grassroots” donations back into the party.
That’s why Dr. Mehmet Oz, Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, calls California the “kingdom of fraud” as he confronts massive organized ripoffs of Medicaid, home health services and hospice care... Illegal migration, turbocharged under Joe Biden by his Homeland Security secretary, California hit man Alejandro Mayorkas, also served the machine well, by artificially inflating the state’s census counts and enabling voter fraud.
The census inflation led to extra House seats for California and more electoral votes, and thus more power in presidential ­elections.
In return, the machine sponsors and protects useful buffoons like Swalwell, who was one of “Pelosi’s boys” from the minute he threw his hat into national politics as a 31-year-old San Francisco councilman with a mischievous grin and a lackluster legal career behind him.

Yes the ramifications are indeed national and so Swalwell had to go, lest the Democrats lose more than just a statehouse and control of one state, albeit a massive and important one.
Sadly the cancer of Democrat Leftism has metastasized all over the place, and while California, regardless of its electoral system is most likely a lost cause barring some sea change in the societal/political landscape that might happen (I am not holding my breath), the Democrats have a very deep and dark bench, including the absolutely horrendous Tom Steyer.

Meanwhile 3000 miles or so to the east, we have this blonde beast to contend with, who likely has national aspirations for national socialism as this trio of links indicates

'Moderate' Governor Abigail Spanberger Signs Bill Forcing Virginia Schools To Consider 'Restorative Disciplinary Practices' Before Suspending Students

Such practices include a 'restorative circle,' a 'centuries-old indigenous practice' in which participants sit in a circle to discuss their actions

Then... She goes Gun Crazy, Quelle Surprise?!

The DOJ’s warning signals potential federal litigation, challenging the constitutionality of the Virginia Democrats’ proposed laws. Pro-Second Amendment critics of the legislation argue the measures could restrict firearms commonly used for lawful purposes, while proponents of gun control, including Spanberger, have attempted to frame the legislation as necessary to address gun violence.

Turd and finally...

By signing this compact, Spanberger has agreed to hand Virginia’s 13 electoral votes to whichever presidential ticket wins the national popular vote.

Now you can see how crucial it is for the Dems that there isn't even a sliver of an iota of a scintilla of a chance that they lose control of California. But then again, if more states follow VIrginia in handing over their electoral votes to the popular vote winner thus de facto destroying the Electoral College, that's ball game, even if the Golden State should flip Red. Assuming that a GOP candidate even wins the popular vote ever again.

On that cheery note...

Have a great day!

66 Assuming that a GOP candidate even wins the popular vote ever again

Right now the incentive for the Dems is to focus fraud on battlegrounds states and races. This makes it harder because there are generally non-leftists involved in the vote counting.

Now fraud does happen and it is non-trivial in these areas. But...as we've seen in the blue states the left can easily produce millions of fake votes. A political system that would elect the president based on just total votes counted when then mean they could move their fraud to the deepest blue districts - where you would see absurd numbers of mail in ballots suggesting nearly 100%...or more...of eligible voters voted this way - and yes we saw some of this in 2020 so this isn't hypothetical.

Reasons to forgive Trump his trespasses

--

This is what I could never quite understand. Yes, Trump has his "trespasses" and many times says things that make me cringe, or at the very least, wish he'd had kept quiet.

But his personal foibles simply do not concern me because they do not personally affect me. What he's doing for the country affects me. And that's all I care about.

Why can't people understand this? It's not the man that affects me. It's his actions. Not. Rocket. Science.

Swalwell's not the exception, he's the norm.

Democrats gather children around and do struggle session tactics to berate them into compliance; it's not rape but follows the same perverted impulse.

It you can stand it, there's a picture of Swalwell's wife and kids out there, very much his victims, she's got Ozempic face and looks terrified.

98 Wretchard bringing insight to the Pope's sparring with Trump:

As I remarked elsewhere, while most politicians deal with Christianity by ignoring it or uttering pieties they neither mean nor understand the exchange between Pope Leo and Donald Trump forces the thoughtful reader to understand the Just War theory, which underpins the mainstream Christian approach to conflict.

Inevitably it requires us to consider not only what Christians believe but what the Islamic equivalent to Just War -- the doctrine of Jihad -- actually teaches. In many ways the two are as different as chalk and cheese. In the first place Christianity is a nonstate religion while Islam aims to be a “universal religion and a universal state”. From this arises a host of differences.
In Just War, the core intention of hostilities is the “righting of wrongs.”. . Heads of states do not go to war with the intention of pleasing God but to do particular things. This is not the case with the Jihad, which clearly states that the core intention to wage war must be to please Allah. Just War is a human creation while Jihad is a divine one.

101 "Millions of people feel they were harmed, and the murder that was horrific and should never have happened does not magically erase what was said or done.

To many Americans, especially if you are Black, LGBTQ or Muslim, Charlie Kirk was not a person who simply engaged in good-faith debates on college campuses.

It’s important to remember that the incredible tragedy of a public assassination does not erase the harm many experienced from his words and the ensuing actions his followers took."

When I graduated high school in '82 we still had paddles and morning prayer. I spent one semester working in the office and had to give the morning prayer one day - I was unprepared for that honor but managed, and had to witness a student paddling - a student witness of the same sex was required so the disciplined person could not claim that they were groped or anything.

Principal also kept a .45 in his desk drawer which he was known to have pulled once when some troublemakers came to the school.

Like I said, sad it did not happen for Trump's election. That would have sealed its fate.

But now the way it will happen is that it will go into place, a Dem will lose the electoral college but get taken over the top in the national tally by a wave of mail-in California ballot harvesting, and then no one can go to court for it until the Dem is already President. It may be declared unconstitutional, but no way can the courts unroll a Presidential election.

150 I don't view Trump's most controversial statements as a problem. I view them as a means to open the apeture of what can be discussed and where lines get drawn.

This Pope, for example, is hyper political and very far left. He literally just met with Obama's wingman and then took shots at Trump and then three cardinals followed up on 60 Minutes. It was blatantly political, organized and anti-Trump. And us.

A normal Republican would have said something wishy washy like "Well that's like just his opinion, man." and gotten rolled. Not Trump. He fired right back and helped expose the hypocrisy of a Pope who says almost nothing when Christians and Iranian citizens are slaughtered.

The attempts by the organized left, and Obama is up to his skinny ass in it, to take down Trump are still going on. We are in a fight for western civilization and the time for pinky out politics is over. Don't give a single inch to any of them, not even fake holy men.

159 No reason for military action in Cuba. Cuba is no longer a military threat of any kind; they don’t even have the fuel needed to keep any of their fighter planes in the air, if they wanted.

Also their electrical grid goes on and off daily, most of the country is without electricity as a regular matter now. As a result, they’re sinking into a humanitarian crisis that could see mass starvation. If the US were to take military action, we’d suddenly be on the hook for feeding 10 million starving people. Better to stand back and watch them collapse, don't do anything until they beg us for help.

180 R. I. P. Joy Harmon - car washing scene in Cool Hand Luke.

IMDb-
Born in Flushing, New York, the impressively endowed Patty Jo Harmon was discovered as a guest on You Bet Your Life (1950) by Groucho Marx and later was invited to work with him on Tell It to Groucho (1961). The TV exposure parlayed into roles in such obscure films as Village of the Giants (1965) and more famous fare like Cool Hand Luke (1967), but she was used mostly for eye candy. With only a handful of television appearances to her name, she made a bigger career as a pin-up girl during the late 1960s and early 1970s, but she ultimately retired from acting to get married and start a family. Baking has always been a favorite pastime and she since started Aunt Joy's Cakes. She first started sharing her treats while working at Disney Studios and runs a wholesale bakery based in Burbank, California.

I don't think it would look suspicious at all. That's where the people are. Obviously that's where the votes are going to come from.

The Dems would absolutely own that - Yes, three states decided the election. Because those three states created a majority. Our democracy demands majority rule (but only when we get our way, otherwise, the rights of the minority are paramount).

Then we'll rehash the arguments that created the EC in the first place.

"President Trump makes his own decisions about the interests of this country and defending our interests and then working with allies and partners, in this case Israel who's got a lot of will and a lot of capabilities which we're grateful for."

"So, those people who are not in those meetings who like to say things about that are just flat wrong."

Of the 122 patients who completed the 6-month follow-up: 84.4% reported clinical benefit (no evidence of disease, tumor shrinkage, or stable disease)

Ivermectin and its related drugs act by interfering with the nerve and muscle functions of helminths and insects.

Larry Sabato said Gov. Spanberger's drop-off in voter approval is “stunning” months into her first term at the helm of the Old Dominion State.

Her approval rating sat at 47 percent...13 percentage points below the average for Virginia governors since 1990.

None of it is likely constitutional, but no one has brought up a challenge yet, at least to the Supreme Court, probably b/c it hasn't come into play yet...


I think they base constitutionality on a constitutional provision which allows "interstate compacts" among the States. I've seen law review articles advocating it. The unanswered question is whether the states can unravel the US Constitution by interstate compacts. My answer would be no. This ploy is meant to create chaos and enhance cheating. Imagine you live in a state which votes for an R prez, but electoral votes go D in popular vote due to cheating in another state.

374 If the popular vote compact becomes effective, watch for some red states to choose electors in some other manner, most likely by the state legislature. The Constitution does not provide for popular vote for presidential electors; only that they be chosen "in such manner as the Legislature thereof may direct" (Article II, Section 1).

375 In high school our assistant principal was a retired Marine Corps major.
Capitol punishment was still en vogue.
When he broke "The Paddle" while vigorously applying it to.the butt of a male factor the woodshop class took great joy in building him a new one with a core of aluminum laminated between two pieces of maple using epoxy.

The next year they eliminated The Paddle and they eliminated the dress code and boxing in PE.
Woodstock and the moon landing were two years prior.
Thinks have been downhill ever since.

I have a stop to make after work for my wife. She loves to knit and was doing some rabbit holing several weeks back.

If their sanity is sufficient to attack someone, it's sufficient for them to defend themselves.

Besides, literally no one is "capable" of defending themselves in court, sane or otherwise. That's what lawyers are for. Try to "defend yourself" in any court and you'll only wind up being the object of derision in someone else's youtube video.

Wednesday Night ONT - April 15, 2026 [TRex]

20260414-Bamberg_Altes_Rathaus.jpg

Good evening Horde. The time has come for mid-week shenanigans.

Welcome to the Wednesday night ONT which means another edition of random overnight fun and games. Pull up a chair and sit a spell. Good will offerings of amusing puns are happily accepted. Pants are optional. Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors. This is a Tucker, Candace and Megyn free zone. Please.

[Top photo: Bamberg Altes Rathhaus]

From Fodor's:

At Bamberg's historic core, the Altes Rathaus is tucked snugly on a small island in the Regnitz. To the west of the river is the so-called Bishops' Town; to the east, Burghers' Town. The citizens of Bamberg built this extravagantly decorated building on an artificial island when the bishop of Bamberg refused to give the city the land for a town hall. Industrious citizens quickly realized that the river was a tax haven as it wasn't claimed by anyone as property.

Matthew Chapter 9

9 As Jesus went on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax collector's booth. "Follow me," he told him, and Matthew got up and followed him.

10 While Jesus was having dinner at Matthew's house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with him and his disciples.

11 When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, "Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?"

12 On hearing this, Jesus said, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.

13 But go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice.' For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners."

Quote Origin: Don't Tax You. Don't Tax Me. Tax That Fellow Behind the Tree

[H]umorous verses advocating that taxes be levied on someone "behind the tree" began to appear by the 1930s. These early instances were anonymous.

In March 1932 "Collier's Weekly" ran an article titled "Tax Everyone But Me" which included an instance starting with "Congress! Congress! Don't tax me" instead of the sing-song: "Don't tax you. Don't tax me."

"At the end of the year, and again at the opening of 1932, the hotel rooms and lobbies of Washington were crowded and swarming with citizens who had come to play, in paraphrased adult form, an old game of their childhood:

Congress! Congress! Don't tax me,
Tax that fellow behind the tree."

In September 1973 the "National Tax Journal" published an article that included the verse credited to Long...:

'RUSSELL B. LONG, Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, has recently been credited with a little doggerel describing "Most people['s]...philosophy about taxes":

Don't tax you,
Don't tax me,
Tax that fellow behind the tree.'"

35 The Pittsburgh police scanner keeps giving.

Only three entries, but they're good ones!

South Side. 20th South 10th Street - Holiday Inn. Caller said that two guests are arguing in the parking lot. The argument has apparently now escalated to the point that they are trying to hit each other with their cars.

If I were the dispatcher, I'd be confused.

Are they trying to hit each others' cars with their cars? You'd think they'd both succeed immediately, unless they're really bad drivers.

Trying to hit each other, but not in their cars? So they're having a good old-fashioned honorable duel? Taking turns getting out of their cars and letting the other guy take a run at them?

Shadyside. Denniston St. Caller requesting help with their finger stuck in a sweeper.

When the cop gets there, they find out the sweeper's name is Tiffani. She's totally a janitor and not a prostitute, though.

Oakland. Craft Ave. Caller said that someone is outside of their apartment playing a loud trombone. Caller does not like this.

It's much easier to serenade your lover with a guitar or a saxophone, but I guess you dance with the one that brung ya.

69 New Mexico taxes surprised me. I had to look up what the basis was. Apparently, they are even more progressive than NY or California, and the really sock it to the top earners in the state...as well as corporations.

In short, the are chasing away their top contributors, and chasing way their top job providers. And, I'm willing to bet that a majority of the population in that state is pissed off about that, but your usual handful of politicians with no economic chops got into the legislature and dumped their Utopian nonsense on everyone else.

I flew Spirit once, many years ago. Which was once too often.

The flight itself was okay, in a "Greyhound bus at 30000 feet" way. Which isn't that much different than the bigs, nowadays.

Would rather do that than have the government squander it on people who are constantly telling us that we aren't paying our "fair share", and need to be paying more in taxes.

Twenty nine years ago Hawaii had three competing inter-island airlines. You could buy books of tickets for as little as about $15 each. Just show up at the airport, hand them a coupon for the next flight to the island you want to go to, then go get on the bus and pick your seat.
You could also get fairly decent hotels for $40 night.

Bring it inside, bathe it with a brush in the sink, then I have a new friend.

Or maybe just shoot it so it stops digging under my porch.

Luke the physician was a disciple and scribe of Paul, and wrote the Book of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles.

161 Twenty nine years ago Hawaii had three competing inter-island airlines. You could buy books of tickets for as little as about $15 each. Just show up at the airport, hand them a coupon for the next flight to the island you want to go to, then go get on the bus and pick your seat.
You could also get fairly decent hotels for $40 night.
Both were 'special local discount'.

It is fair to believe so, since we do not know precisely, but Eusebius said that John the Apostle did not write the last two letters nor the Book of Revelation, and we do know that John the Apostle died in AD 98 in Ephesus, which is in Turkey, so not Patmos. There is a Church built over his tomb, which unfortunately is now a mosque.

Summer's not here yet, but you can see it from here. The snow-free spot in the yard here at Old People Warehouse is getting bigger every day, and the park benches on my daily walk have *almost* emerged from the snow enough to sit on them.

I'm ready.

In other good news, it's now physically possible for me to pee my pants again. The "indwelling" catheter is out.

I've got one-time-use catheters that I can use if the flow isn't going (which so far it's not. Supposedly that will improve).

Even so, I only have a hose jammed up my sensitive regions for a few minutes at a time a few times a day, rather than having it in there all the time, so that's a big win.

These are also a lot smaller than the Foley, so they're a lot more comfortable to put in and take out.

Sorry if that's TMI. I'm just happy I no longer have to have a bag of pee strapped to my leg all the time.

213 Since college & flying any airline back & forth from college (sometimes with 2 stops),I had a brief decade with SW for a cheap and direct flight to see my family from Orlando.

We are Delta people. Normal flights. Used to fly monthly for decades.

Returning from London/Paris in 1999, our sons first time overseas, we flew to Atlanta. Where I now try to avoid at all costs. Customs was horrific,hot, crowded, slow & I was jet lagged. I almost laughed hysterically at a large black woman next to me using her giant bazooms cleavage as a cell phone holder. Got the Look of Warning from my husband.

We get on the flight to Orlando & someone screwed up the gate thing and put it in forward vs reverse. It hit the plane door with a thud and dented it to the point they could not close the door.

The moans and lamentations of the people started when they said we'd have to get off the plane while they found another. I was more tired than anyone on board.

I said, loudly, "He can't close the door! He can't fly with the plane with the door open!!!" People knew they had a grouchy and crazy woman on board and shut up. The spare plane was old and held together with duct tape, but we made it home.

214 Gospel writers: Chances are one or more of the Gospels was actually inscribed by disciples of the person to whom the Gospel is attributed. Gospel "according to…"

I expect Luke wrote his own, though.

Also, of course, the synoptic gospels each derive somewhat from a common source, either Matthew, or the suspected lost "Q" gospel.

Also also, according to textual criticism the last part of Mark appears to have been lost and some material added (in some versions) to replace the ending. https://w.wiki/LGjG

Considering the various motives, styles, and times of the different Gospels, I've always thought it amazing — and convincing — how much the character of Jesus shone through. You'd be hard-pressed to find four witnesses to an accident who could have such consistency.

I believe one must read the various books as they were presented. For instance, the Song of Songs is poetry, and while it often likens itself to the relationship of God for His people, it is also a fairly exotic love poem. How does one read poetry "literally?"

But yes, history is history, and there is no reason whatsoever to doubt that the historical books, including the Gospels, are not completely truthful.

That said, God gave us everything in the Bible that we need for salvation, and nothing extra, because we are a confused lot and easily led. A great many people read a lot into and out of the Bible that simply isn't there, which is their right of course, but it tends to pervert the message. That's how we end up with oddball things like Liberation Theology and Prosperity Gospel, pure nonsense, both of them.

228 Mark, who wrote that lovely gospel, was actually named John Mark, and served mostly as Peter's secretary, since Peter was a smelly old fisherman and wasn't the greatest writer. He wrote down what Peter related to him, and of course, he was around for some it too. So, there were plenty of Johns around to write things down. Surnames would have helped, but they really weren't in vogue unless you were a Roman Senator or something.

Posted by: scampydog at April 15, 2026 11:41 PM (41CYW)

No. We fly to NOLA to avoid Atlanta now to see my mother. Direct flight. Never early. I despise early flights.

When we moved back here from FL we sold our cars and flew once the movers came. Then put the house on the market.

Had spent the night in the Orlando airport hotel and had giant bags of precious things I didn't trust with the movers. Staggered on board a direct flight.

My last thought, on the dark tarmac, was that I won't be in this airport again for awhile. Then we both passed out cold from fatigue and stress.

First class. The flight attendent thought we were doing drugs we were so out of it. First time to not remember the take off vs being alert. The flight attendent poked me and stood back to ask what I wanted for breakfast. I may have looked dead. We ate and went back to sleep.

I wish I could sleep like this on every flight but don't. Sort of better in the fold out beds, but I am still on guard for perverts and don't sleep deeply.

246 That Texas Ranger statue is not “controversial” and not new. It is titled “one riot, one ranger” and it was commissioned in 1961, and was placed in a position of prominence in Dallas Love Field Air Terminal. It stood there for decades, until a new woke local administration decided it was “uncomfortable” with a statue complimentary to law enforcement.

It was taken down about the time of Covid and disappeared, although it was believed that some private benefactor was safeguarding it.
Everyone who knew of that statue and lamented its disappearance was overjoyed to see Trump up again at Ranger Stadium, the perfect place for it!

Not a real argument. His statement is clearly meant for us to read, and as such, is Divinely inspired. Real people wrote the books of the Bible, not automatons that just wrote words God told them to. That isn't inspiration, that's just a steno copying things.

Why do you suppose Jesus came to us as a human being, incarnated? Not simply because our sins could be overcome only by one who could take them on (a human), but also because only Moses managed to look at God and live. God comes to us as the creatures He created, knowing who and what we are, and what we can and cannot understand.

Same with the Bible authors. Real human beings, telling us Divine things in human language. Inspiration is Divine mystery.

Paul is admitting his inability to find a scriptural basis for the point he is making. Doesn't mean it wasn't divinely inspired. He was writing for a specific audience and that writing has been accepted as the inspired Word of God. Good enough for me..

You have meddled with the primal forces of nature, and I won't have it!! Is that clear?! You think you've merely stopped a business deal. That is not the case. The Arabs have taken billions of dollars out of this country, and now they must put it back! It is ebb and flow, tidal gravity! It is ecological balance!

The old LIB civilization(s) which thinks in terms of nations and peoples. There are no nations. There are no peoples. There are no Russians. There are no Arabs. There are no third worlds. There is no West. There is only one holistic system of systems, one vast and immane, interwoven, interacting, multivariate, multinational dominion of dollars. Petro-dollars, electro-dollars, multi-dollars, reichmarks, rins, rubles, pounds, and shekels.

It is the international system of currency which determines the totality of life on this planet. That is the natural order of things today. That is the atomic and subatomic and galactic structure of things today! And YOU have meddled with the primal forces of nature, and YOU WILL ATONE! Am I getting through to you?

295 Trump's Eternal Revenue Department sounds better and better. We got all the oil we need; start building new refineries.Get those nuke plants up. Start selling all that Venezuelan oil. Make the Middle East irrelevant. Get those tariffs back up. Have the world start paying us for a change. Lord knows we have spilt our blood for foreign powers. Time to collect.

Also, these sing-abouters need to tune their instruments and pay up; I'll take them seriously when they stop employing the same accountants as the "rich folks". All can take advantage of all legal loopholes; no worries. But do not bemoan the taxman when you make money bemoaning taxes. A wee bit hypocritical.

The tone deaf dude with red beard really needs to STFU.

I've heard their work. (I think) At a blog in the early 2's a fellow from Florida posted songs from this band, not addresses (things were different) I downloaded the music directly from the site.
Been trying to find the band ever since.
They should have made it.

The Catholic Church has long encouraged migration which has lead to many deaths and the notion that you can just move somewhere else and mess up their place rather than stay put and clean your mess in your place. No! Clean up your own shit hole. Help? Sure we'll give it too you but you need to clean up your mess. This starts with not bringing in socialist or communist governments.

301 Southern Band

The waves are settling down and the sun has sunk into the sand and the only calm the city gives is living in these ocean sounds not as bad as it could be not as good as it could be you’ll find out what you miss most when you’re out on the West Coast

It’s been a long fall,
Yes it’s gonna be a long fall
Yes it’s gonna be a long fall,

I’m not sure why I’m still here when I left my life seemed so clear Now my dreams are heavy thing muddied by reality cause I can’t find good days and no game days on Saturdays. Yes the only tailgates I see now are loading sacks of crack cocaine. For a long haul up the West Coast to a long fall, to a long fall

My girl knew the price of fame I lost her when she changed her name. Her face used to feel so soft till her agents doctor pulled it off.
She got a nose and cheek bones and a bit part on a TV show. But broken down to a broken place (not sure I heard that correctly)
When the one you love’s got a strangers face

It’s a long fall, I’ll be ready for a long fall
Little more rain and I don’t feel the pain

When I thought I’d head on back I saw a black haired girl on the concrete path She flung her hair back with her hands between the setting sun and the copper sand and in the fading light I could barely see a spot of a wink? and she gave it to me

She said you look like someone I know I said I do but I can’t love you so
In this long fall I lost out on the West Coast. It’s a long fall. No, no, no one gets on in
It’s a long fall. No way, but I know Jane would say long fall. It’s a long fall

Last Nov. there were 6 Judges who expressed a view that Judge Boasberg be allowed to continue his investigation. Nothing of significance has changed in the underlying case.

Depends on how old the ebooks are. If they did not come from Amazon, they will probably be ok.

Epub and calibre are both good for converting formats and loading them for reading to many types of devices.

Also, websites like project Gutenberg make downloading books easy. I used a tablet to do so.

There was ancient driftwood found in some of the caves of the Grand Canyon, very high up, and that was something of a mystery.

Some recent dating studies have tied that to the Meteor Crater impactor. That impact was about 20 MT (a little less than half a Tsar Bomba) and trigged about a 6.0 mag earthquake which triggered a landslide and temporarily dammed up the Colorado River, forming a big lake that extended down to Lee's Ferry.

I have my own set at 50% and it still surprises me sometimes. Skeery ass brute ignorant horsepower. It'll pull the front wheel up at 70 if I'm not careful. It'll rotate the bike over the rear wheel at 30 without a second thought.

Me and the bike together are barely 500 pounds, it has 150 brake horsepower at the fooking wheel. You damned right I keep the training wheels on. I ain't that good at those skills.

Costing 28 million Franks, this project links districts 4 and 5, offering a safe, efficient route with a 20 km/h speed limit, supporting the city's Vision Zero safety goals.

The BBC is to cut as many as 2,000 jobs, affecting 10% of its 21,500 employees, in what is being described as the biggest scaling back in 15 years.

According to The Guardian, staff at the broadcaster were to be informed of the cuts on Wednesday afternoon in an all-staff meeting, with interim director general Rhodri Talfan Davies expected to announce the redundancies.

Australian police are investigating basket case Ruby Rose's accusation of sexual assault by space cadet Katie Perry.

Rose alleges that Perry rubbed up on her with her dirty vag.

Police in Australia are investigating after Ruby Rose accused Katy Perry of sexual assault.

Victoria Police confirmed the investigation in a statement shared with USA TODAY on April 15, days after Rose claimed the singer sexually assaulted her almost two decades ago.

A representative for Perry has denied the "reckless" allegations.

"Melbourne Sexual Offences and Child Abuse Investigation Team (SOCIT) detectives are investigating [an alleged] historical sexual assault that occurred in Melbourne in 2010," Victoria Police said in a statement. "Police have been told the incident occurred at a licensed premises in Melbourne's CBD," or the Australian city's central business district, home to bars, nightclubs and more.

"As the investigation remains ongoing, it would be inappropriate to comment further at this stage," the statement concluded.

...

"I was only in my early 20s. I'm now 40. It has taken almost 2 decades to say this publicly," she wrote. "Though I am so grateful to have made it long enough to find my voice, it just shows how much of an impact trauma and sexual assault takes. Thank you for seeing me."

The "Batwoman" actress also said she planned to go to the police "to see if any of my experiences can be investigated." She later posted, "I did it."

"The allegations being circulated on social media by Ruby Rose about Katy Perry are not only categorically false, they are dangerous reckless lies," the statement said. "Ms. Rose has a well-documented history of making serious public allegations on social media against various individuals, claims that have repeatedly been denied by those named."


Berkeley campus radicals demand the removal of Trump "by any means necessary."


A left-wing activist group at the University of California, Berkeley recently staged a protest opposing the war in Iran, declaring that "Trump must go now by any means necessary."

The demonstration, held on April 7, was advertised on social media as an "Emergency Protest" against the administration's military actions in Iran, along with purported "fascist ethnic cleansing" in the Middle East and United States and issues related to immigration.

The group appeared to call for a military mutiny in the post, writing, "The American joint chiefs, officers and soldiers must disobey Trump's illegal orders to commit war crimes against the Iranian people!"

Campus Reform was present at the protest and captured exclusive video.

The organizing group, known as By Any Means Necessary (BAMN), describes itself as a "Coalition to Defend Affirmative Action, Integration and Immigration Rights and Fight for Equality By Any Means Necessary." The organization has committed itself to "defeating Donald Trump and his fascist movement by any means necessary."


During the protest, demonstrators displayed signs with messages such as "Stop Trump's fascist police state By Any Means Necessary," while a number of participants delivered speeches criticizing the president and federal immigration authorities.

"Trump is a fascist, the whole Trump regime is a fascist, ICE is a fascist," said one speaker who identified himself only as Ryan, adding that activists should continue demonstrations "over and over again until Trump is out,"

UC Berkeley student Frances Cramer, who observed the protest, told Campus Reform that the slogan raised concerns.

"I immediately thought the sign called for violence or demonstrated ill intent," Cramer said.

You have probably been enraged by the phenomenon of young thugs-- usually black, Muslim, or immigrant, or all three -- engaging in acts of harassment and intimidation against random law-abiding citizens and then posting videos of these crimes on to social media, where they get plaudits and clicks for this psychopathic behavior.

The latest "trend" is to touch white strangers' hair without permission. So funny!

There was one especially noisome criminal called "Johnny Somali" who made money as a Harassment Entrepreneur. I guess he got bored of upsetting white people and took his social terrorism act... to South Korea.

Whoops.

Low-IQ gonna Low-IQ.


US internet 'troll' Johnny Somali sentenced to South Korea labor prison for public nuisance -- months after comparing himself to Otto Warmbier


A controversial American YouTuber was sentenced to half a year in a South Korean labor prison for his nuisance behavior, including posting a video of himself crudely dancing on a statue honoring World War II sex slaves.

Ramsey Khalid Ismael, a self-proclaimed internet "troll" known as Johnny Somali online, was tossed into the specialized prison on Wednesday, the Korea Herald reported.

Ismael, 25, had provoked citizens in South Korea by singing the North Korean national anthem, spilled noodles inside a convenience store, got into several heated arguments with strangers, and degraded the solemn "Statue of Peace," all stunts he shared on YouTube.

"I am the Otto Warmbier of South Korea. A political prisoner wrongfully and falsely accused and made into a scapegoat by a tyrannical government. The truth will come to light soon," Ismael wrote on X in January, referencing college student Otto Warmbier, who became a North Korean prisoner in 2016 before he was released in a vegetative state and later died.

Ismael was indicted by the Seoul Western District Court in November on charges of obstruction of business and violations of minor public order laws.


"The defendant repeatedly committed crimes against unspecified members of the public to generate profit via YouTube and distributed the content in disregard of Korean law," the court said during the trial, noting prosecutors sought a three-year prison sentence, according to the outlet.

The trial, originally scheduled for March 2025, had been delayed after prosecutors added additional charges alleging Ismael shared AI-generated sexual content of him with a deepfake with a female YouTuber, the outlet reported.

Ismael was deemed a flight risk and was detained immediately after his sentencing.

Ismael faces 20 days of detention, is barred from working at institutions that serve minors and people with disabilities for five years, and will have to be registered as a sex offender for the same time.

...

Ismael, who currently boasts a whopping 5,220 YouTube subscribers, had become notorious on the South Korean streets for his offensive stunts, including repeatedly shouting racial slurs.

...

Ismael continued his romp around the Korean capital, getting into several more heated arguments and making sexually abusive and racist comments at unsuspecting passers-by.

One interaction occurred inside a convenience store when Ismael and another man got into a shouting match over Israel before the two were kicked out by a store employee, but not before the streamer shouted, "Free Palestine."

Legal YouTuber "Legal Mindset" was so annoyed by this anti-civilizational activist's antics that he set up a "Somali Conviction Team" to give evidence and encouragement to South Korean prosecutors. I imagine one of his tasks was to reassure prosecutors that no, no one in the west is going to be outraged at South Korea jailing a foreigner, we're all sick to death of these morlocks too.

He does a victory lap in this video, which begins with the Low-IQ Somali guaranteeing he will not spend a single night in Korean prison. Unfortunately, the Korean judge got cold feet and did not imprison him for the three years of prison labor the prosecutors sought. But six months, 20 days of prison labor -- probably the first day of work he's done in his life -- will fix his wagon a bit.

Speaking of foreign terrorists who need to be imprisoned: The Democrat Party is executing a full-court press to normalize and mainstream the openly pro-terrorist, "The US deserved 9/11" Islamis Hasan Piker:

Jewish supposedly "centrist" liberal Ezra Klein was sent out to flack for the terrorist:

And this is necessary because a Muslim Michigan Senate candidate -- Abdul El-Sayed -- defended the openly pro-terrorist Piker claiming we should not "bend" to "cancel culture."


That account compiled a video of Piker supporting terrorism sixty-five times.

The multimilionaire grifter Piker is also, of course, a communist, calling the fall of the Soviet Union "one of the greatest catastrophes of the 20th century."

Leftists could have just separated themselves from this monster. Instead, they bound themselves to him more tightly.

But that's a given -- both Islamists and communists want to destroy western civilization, raze it to the ground so that they can conquer it, and they have merged their respective Death Cults into one giant Death Cult.

Western middle-class normie culture must be destroyed so that it can be replaced by Transgender Communism or Sharia Islam-- they'll fight it out later, but for now, you're the only enemy.


Of course, mainstreaming Sharia law and Islamism -- and communism-- isn't just a project of the Democrat Party these days:

23 Ruh ro - I'd be sweating if I were Swalwell.....

The Los Angeles District Attorney’s office has already assigned a prosecuting attorney to aid in the criminal investigation of a bombshell rape claim against disgraced former Rep. Eric Swalwell.

LA District Attorney Nathan Hochman announced the rare move after Lonna Drewes, 50, on Tuesday accused Swalwell of drugging, choking and raping her at a West Hollywood hotel in 2018.

Dummies. So here we are. The Left severely underestimates the will of phony Allah and the pure barbarity his followers are prepared to enforce in his phony name, and BOTH of these idiot fag factions miss the fact that while white Christians (and Jews)seem *especially* easy to conquer - slaves subject to their own weak moral conscience - they have missed that Christians and their pals the Jews have one thing that both Islam and the Left lack on their side. God.

The police won’t release details of her attackers, which means one thing; they’re not English names. Just like so many others. The police have taken to the streets in riot gear. Unlike the pro terrorist marches every single fucking week for two years in London, where the police give a nice soothing massage to the scum who support terrorists. When it’s English people who protest about vermin raping them, then the police crush them. This country is fucked. The government hate English people. The police hate English people. We must embrace the vermin who are flooding into this country. We must give them all our money. We must lay down and surrender. Because they are our rulers now.

They literally think there is nothing easier than farming: stick a seed in the ground, water it, and food comes up. But they won't regret being wrong, because they'll have the thrill of forcing someone else to do the hard work at gunpoint.

I sincerely believe that sociopaths and narcissists are so empty, they not only lack internal moral values, they don't know how to value anything at all; they need to watch and see what other people prize. Even if they ended up emperor of a pile of actual shit, they would still have the joy of seeing everyone else around wanting to be them and trade places.

My dad was a hippie before he was a Christian, very big into Eastern religions, and he says that they all fall into one of two categories: either Jesus was just a man -- perhaps a very good man, even a prophet, maybe even a miracle-worker, but no more -- or else we're all God too, just like Jesus. There is nothing euChristian about Islam, which I believe is Satanism rebranded, making the entire concept of "Abrahamic" religion fallacious.

Posted by: SciVo at April 15, 2026 08:37 PM (Sy6m/)

254 Well, Jesus was a prophet as well... Moses predicted Him, as a matter of fact, saying that another Prophet would come.

He is a prophet.... but also, you know, the Son of God, etc. I'm sure He has many other titles we don't know about from various places in the universe, too.

Real Headline: California Provides Sex-Change Procedures to Homeless Illegal Aliens

Christopher Rufo reports at City Journal:


Last month, we received a report from a whistleblower who claimed that illegal aliens were staying in San Francisco's homeless shelters. Following up on the tip, we visited numerous publicly funded shelters in San Francisco, and spoke to employees and residents about their policies, sometimes through a translator.

We discovered not only that the shelters were housing illegal immigrants but also that they were apparently housing a population of male-to-female "transgender" illegal aliens, who had hoped to obtain "gender-affirming care." And, to our shock, state and local governments apparently are providing it.

St. Vincent De Paul's MSC-South facility is San Francisco's largest homeless shelter, and, in 2024, signed a $66 million service contract with the city. After we arrived at the front entrance, an employee wearing a do-rag and a light green polo shirt showed us around and confirmed that illegal aliens were living there.

"You got a few people here from El Salvador. . . . You got a few people here from Venezuela. You got a few people here from a little bit of everywhere," he said.

As a rule, he suggested, management instructed employees to refuse cooperation with federal immigration authorities. "When the ICE thing was going around, we all had a meeting, and they told us, 'We ain't letting them in.'"

Among the shelter's residents was a group of Hondurans who identified as transgender. During our visit to MSC-South, whose executive director did not respond to a request for comment, we spoke with two Honduran men, "Lyca" and "Alondra," who identified as transgender women. Both indicated that the local government gave them shelter and food.

Lyca, who wore long hair and red lipstick, was candid about this arrangement. He confirmed that he was an illegal immigrant and that the shelter doesn't ask questions about immigration status. "Tengo Medi-Cal," he said, referring to the state health-care program, which, under Governor Gavin Newsom, began providing "full scope" coverage to illegal aliens, which includes transgender procedures, or "gender affirming care." He said he was receiving cross-sex hormone therapy--and bore the physical signs of having done so.

Alondra, a muscular man in a camouflage shirt and dyed hair tied behind his head, said he had been in the United States after claiming asylum. According to the translator, the city government had offered to pay first and second month's rent on private apartments for him and Lyca. But neither accepted the offer--in Lyca's case, because he might not be able to pay for the apartment after the second month.

At the Embarcadero SAFE Navigation Center, a city-funded shelter on the eastern waterfront that did not respond to our comment request, we heard similar stories. "Jacqueline"--a self-identified "trans woman" from Mexico living at the shelter who claimed to be a lawful U.S. resident--indicated that there were illegal aliens living in the shelter.

Wearing rouge on his cheeks and a low-cut red shirt, Jacqueline flaunted his large chest. He said that he had gotten transgender hormone treatments, and confirmed that he had received breast implants from the state Medi-Cal program. Though Jacqueline claimed to be a legal resident, he suggested that the state also provides implants to illegal immigrants. "Even though you're undocumented," he said, "you can get them."

27 The amount of rape (of both sexes), sexual assault, prostitution, and drug dealing at these shelters is off the charts. The staff does nothing, and many are getting their cut of the action. There’s a reason many homeless refuse to go to shelters. Some are indeed insane. Some just genuinely believe they are safer on the streets.

Part of the problem is their training is shit. We grimly joke about NYPD firing 27 shots at a suspect and killing three bystanders two dogs and a pet goldfish in a kid's bedroom a block away with the suspect unscathed, but this is a hand-to-hand example of the same incompetence. Two rather sizable officers (one of whom is pretty apparently on gear) couldn't get one guy under control and cuffed for several minutes. If they spent more time on grappling and ground technique than learning how to yell "stop resisting" it would be better for cops AND safer for the person getting arrested.

119 OK, so I looked up the Embarcadero SAFE Navigation Center since I worked in SF for many years and have never heard of it. It's on Beale Street right along the Embarcadero, one of the most scenic streets on the waterfront and at the edge of the financial district. It's surrounded by luxury condos and the residents weren't too happy but the city won that battle. Also read that it has the highest OD rate in the city right now. Daniel Lurie, the relatively new mayor, was supposed to be the savior in fixing the homeless problem/crisis. And I don't think it also helps that the Center calls the homeless their 'clients' and strive for a hotel atmosphere, dining room open 24/7, clothes washed for them, etc.

Here We Go Again: Latest Leftwing Pope Attacks Trump for Sealing the Border, Attacking Islamic Occupation Forces in Iran

As many have pointed out, this brave moral voice kept absolutely stumm when Iran was killing 30-45,000 of its own people. But now he finds his voice.

And weirdly, he speaks with a vague Italian/Spanish accent, despite being an American citizen.

Is he one of those weak men who put on the accent of whatever city or country they're currently standing in?

Trump sure thinks he's weak:

popeisweak.jpg

So the pope is a politician, and most of his constituents are, of course, Latin Americans who view immigration to America as their God-given right. Gee I wonder where they get that idea from.

Not to mention: Democrat-affiliated NGOs have poured hundreds of millions of American taxpayer dollars into Catholic "charities" which "resettle" immigrants in America.

And of course he's also attempting some kind of alliance with... Islam. He just mandated, for the first time in the Church's history, a special room set aside for Muslim prayer in the Vatican.

Cynical Publius
@CynicalPublius

Well it looks like the Pope’s interference in American politics is still top of the news cycle, so I want to repeat something.

The Democrat/Media Complex deliberately set this up so faithful Catholics would be forced to choose: Trump or your faith?

That’s a false dichotomy. The Pope is speaking on politics, offering his opinion only and he is not speaking ex cathedra.

You are not obligated to agree with the Pope in these matters where he speaks as an ordinary human.

If you are a Catholic, you can still support Trump, and disagree with what the Pope is saying about the Iran War and American politics, and still remain true to your Catholic faith.

Please do not fall for the either/or con job.

The pope was anti-Trump before becoming pope -- and then covered that up.

theleftwingpope.jpg

Tom Homan invites the pope to stuff it up his mitre.

"I'm not gonna speak for the president. I'm speaking for myself, a lifelong Catholic," Homan said. "I wish they'd stay out of immigration because they don't know what they're talking about. Because if they wore my shoes for forty years and talked to a nine-year-old girl that got raped multiple times, or stood in the back of a tractor-trailer, with nineteen dead aliens at my feet, including a five-year-old boy that baked to death. If they understood the atrocities that happen on an open border, I think their opinion would change."


No amount of Vatican commentary changes what Homan saw with his own eyes.

"And I welcome a discussion with any of them, because they don't understand illegal immigration is not a victimless crime. Where President Trump had the most secure border in the lifetime of this nation, right now, lives are being saved. He's saving thousands of lives a year because he has a secure border," Homan explained. "Human traffickers are out of business, right? The cartels are going bankrupt because of that secure border. I wish they'd understand that. Because if they did, I think they'd have a different opinion."

This is the argument the church -- and frankly most of the media -- never wants to sit with. Secure borders don't just protect American citizens. They protect migrants from the predators who exploit open-border chaos for profit. Letting that happen would be inhumane, which is why the Trump administration is putting an end to illegal immigration.

Video: "I wish the pope would stay out of politics and focus on fixing the church."

By the way, Gay Mexican Nazi Nick Fuentes declared Trump to be the "anti-Christ" so that is now all three of the Nazi podcasters (Tuq'r, Cavernous, Gay Mexican Nazi) who have stated that Trump is "satanic" or the "anti-Christ" in the past week.

As the meme puts it: Know the op when you see it.

36 1. The RCC has lost out on hundreds of millions of dollars in government money laundered through Catholic Charities for bringing in thousands of illegals. The Trump administration stopped that grift.

2. Vance and Rubio are both Catholic and the presumptive next GOP nominees, so the globalist left, of which the faction controlling the Vatican seems to be a part of, needs to get the wedge in early to stop Catholics from voting conservative.

3. 70% of the RCC membership is now in third world countries, so the pro open borders pandering won't stop.

4. Roe never would have been overturned without Trump but it seems open borders are more important than stopping abortion.

As a new Catholic I honestly don't think anyone who voted for Trump regrets their vote. I don't and never will. No one has mentioned squat about the pope in the past six months that I talk to. No worries.

Not worried about the mid-terms, mostly because things will happen even if I did worry. Therefore I won't and never do unless I can control it.

Granted, now President Trump needs to ignore Leo. Let little Leo boil into a tantrum and fling his miter and other gear.

The still photo of the cardinals makes me laugh a bit. Constipated and horny and mean looking slobs. If I had to give them confession I'd probably make up stuff to see what they'd do (I look the priest in the eye).

I figure my accent is unique and I'd be figured out anyway, so why not go in with my list since age 12yrs and tell it all (most of it or I would have been there all day).

There are specific rulings that come up every 300 years or so that define what being Catholic is and if you don't buy them, you are out. Last one was in 1860s.

Besides that you can decide if what he's saying is relevant or not. Open borders is obviously not a religious question and never has been. He has security for himself, of course.

This where the "Ex Cathedra" comes from. Translated as "From the Chair" and is to be taken as infallible. It hasn't been invoked since like 1950.

So, anything the popes says outside of that is their personal belief/opinion.

No doubt there are Catholics out there that take whatever a pope says as 100% gospel. Pity, them.

78 i have mixed feelings actually. we didn't complain when the pope attacked communism, but i'm not catholic so i don't know what the rules are
==
Its not hard. Communism is a heresy. Its politics treated as religion. It gets criticized by The Popes for a long time because it denies God and replaces him with the State. Its not the difference between representative democracy vs a parliamentary system. Catholic and orthodox Christian theology rightly criticizes Communism as evil. Because it is. Plenty of critique for unrestrained capitalism also. It capitalism is an effective way to create wealth and increase resources. BUt is must be fairly regulated and the Church MUST exist to assist those who are left behind or can't compete. This is fundamental. You must give to the poor. Almsgiving is not negotiable.

Posted by: Peruvian at April 15, 2026 04:38 PM (anL5R)

79 I am not interested in denigrating Catholics, which is happening on X. Where I do think there is an issue, however, is the reaction that this isn’t doctrine, and many Catholics aren’t happy with the Pope, so we should just ignore him. The problem with that is the Church should hear this criticism- and the effect it has. People who may have been interested in the Church are turned off. People like me who were raised Catholic and left / didn’t come back to the Church in large part because of the last Pope. This Pope reinforces I made the right choice for me. When I have fellow wayward Catholics express their discomfort with the Church, I invite them to come with me to the church home I found. Again, I will NEVER criticize someone’s faith, I will always correct when people say something untrue about the Catholic Church. But I will also say I have never been more at peace with my faith than I am right now.

87 Right or wrong, it profits Trump nothing to pick a fight with the Pope.

Leo said the same type of anti-war stuff that his predecessors
have been saying sure m for decades. Trump's predecessors were savvy enough to smile and nod, then go about their business. But not Trump. He can't let a criticism go; he always responds like a gangsta rapper who just got dissed.

You don't want to hear this, but conservative/traditional Catholics are pretty fond of Leo. They don't always agree with him, but the first year of his papacy has been refreshing after a decade-plus of what at times felt like mistreatment from Francis. So they're inclined to stick up for him if they think an attackn is unfair or unnecessary.

Think of it this way: you don't always agree with your wife, you can even get in big fights with her. But you'll never ever let someone else talk shit about her. That's where conservative Catholics are with Leo. I've been in traditional Catholic online spaces for a long time and I've never seen the uniformity around defending the Pope that I've seen this week.

Truck needs to fix this. He must find humility that he probably doesn't have. Because he's going to need Caolic votes.

The pope earns a monthly stipend of approximately $33,000, which totals about $405,600 annually. However, the Vatican also provides for the pope's housing, food, and other expenses.

Offsetting that is that the Vatican has all sorts of treasures you could make use of I assume, without selling them.

139 Secure borders don't just protect American citizens. They protect migrants from the predators who exploit open-border chaos for profit. Letting that happen would be inhumane, which is why the Trump administration is putting an end to illegal immigration.

--

But the Pope doesn't want the story to be about illegal aliens committing heinous crimes, or the migrants crashing the borders young and old and dying in the process. He wants America's border dissolved. In his ludicrous mind, that would solve the crime element. Somehow. Never mind the crushing of the economy, the collapse of our system. He just wants the damned border dissolved.

an accent is learned muscle memory. How the R and L is pronounced in various parts of the world, as opposed to the US and Asia is quite different, and quite diagnostic to origins as well. The vowels as well, since English pronounces them "funny" as opposed to most Indo-European languages. In Spanish there are certain sounds that never appear together, and some that don't appear at all. Spanish is phonetically and linguistically very similar to Italian.

“We need to understand Bergoglio’s [the previous Commie Pope] fraudulent operation: he wants to take the conflict between the immigrationist-woke Deep Church and the Trump Administration to the next level, “dogmatizing” the duty to welcome illegal immigrants and thus forcing American Catholics to see Trump as an enemy of the Catholic Church. In short, he is trying, according to his characteristic modus operandi, to turn President Trump into an adversary in order to undermine his support from Catholic voters. American Catholics, however, have seen through the fraud! …

What has been emerging in the United States since President Trump’s inauguration is only the tip of the iceberg of a vast subversive system that involves all Western states.

These are not isolated cases of corruption, but a planned occupation that the globalist Left considers indispensable in order to gain power and, once it has appropriated that power, use it for the establishment of a totalitarian regime. The Deep Church uses the offerings of the faithful to spread heresies, normalize vice and perversion, Islamize Christian nations, desecrate our churches and altars, and ...

168 ...and persecute dissenting voices with suspensions and excommunications. …

The economic dependence of the institution is made possible by the corruption and blackmail of its leaders, because if the Catholic Church were governed by good, incorruptible, and non-blackmailable pastors, they would never accept her enslavement to the interests of a power that is openly enemy of Christ, nor would they allow themselves to be bought out of thirst for money or career ambitions.

The first undeniable reality, however terrible and shocking, is the complicity of the Bergoglian Church with the criminal system organized by the globalist elite: we must take note that the betrayal of the rulers toward their fellow citizens is mirrored by the betrayal of the pastors toward their flock. This places the entire ruling class, that is subservient to the globalist elite, in a condition of illegitimacy – I would even say of high treason – to which justice must be done.”

If you are living there for a long time and not around your native accent, you do pick up one and lose the other, just maybe not as heavy as a person who lived there forever. See Harry losing just a bit of his accent (well, actually he is picking up our accent). J has a VERY heavy southern drawl. He also speaks fluent Italian and has lived in Italy off and on his entire life. It takes exactly 2 days in Italy and he has an Italian accent, he also rarely speaks English there. Which is annoying to me, because I don’t speak Italian, but that is another post. It takes exactly 2 days at home and he is back to Southern gentleman.

I wouldn't go that far, though having a Latin mass for those who want it is fine. I always liked the Greek and Latin prayers. But I don't think Vatican II was totally wrong for wanting what was going on in the mass to be understandable to the parishioners as a whole.

Little known fact. Francis officially removed the Vicar of Christ from his titles. Didn't use it. Took it off publications etc. So, arguably he didn't really take the job did he. Then he appointed a bunch of leftists to the college of cards, and you get what you get. . .

238 You don't want to hear this, but conservative/traditional Catholics are pretty fond of Leo.

I'm not seeing that - there was concern he was another Francis, and it would appear that Trump has sent him over the edge. Trump was foolish to post the meme he did. But this was a fight Leo picked. There is no great love for Leo in the thriving growing dioceses in the US. And people are going to start mining Leo's prior social media (some shown here) and these will not age well.

Trump has stepped in it, and needs to stop, but Leo has acted poorly as well. I'm a converted Catholic. Leo increasingly does not speak for me on matters of much of anything. He is just another slick Chicago machine politician who is a priest.

And his "God never blesses war" line is theologically and historically ignorant on a scale that is difficult to believe for someone in his position.

All he had to do was make a basic statement calling for peace and wanting people to not hate each other. He could have done the Christian pastor thing encouraging love and peace. But no, he had to go even further and cross the line into literally contradicting the Bible.

Exactly. Iran has been at war with the civilized world for nearly fifty years, we're now at last finally dealing with that. For nearly fifty years, everyone has been saying 'someone needs to deal with this' but now that Trump is doing it, its evil. EVERY presidential candidate for like ten elections has been calling for us to deal with Iran; Hillary specifically promised to attack Iran while running for president.

But because Orange Man Bad, its the wrong thing to do suddenly.

This is not in accordance with Catholic theology, though Catholics may individually hold this. Nor are Catholics intrinsically saved by virtue of being Catholic.

Generally speaking Catholicism does not hold theological accuracy(which when taken to an extreme would apply even within a denomination) or even overt Christianity as criteria for salvation see invincible ignorance.

287 I find it hard to believe that any modern person would be conversant in Latin, but not English, Spanish, or French.
==
If the modern person was a priest from African, who attended a solid seminary, he will be fluent in latin. Otherwise it is overlap. Even if you speak English or Spanish or French, you may run into a guy that speaks lithuanian or german or Latin. Its really not that odd.

It used to be a world wide requirement of the priesthood to be fluent in latin. Its actually still on the books. And some places in the world still take it seriously. So some people may learn french and some german. It isn't uncommon in the vatican to run into people who speak five or six languages. There are a lot of languages and not everyone learns the same european language as their second language.

Rapewell Update: His Top Democrat Donor Says He's No Longer a Democrat -- "Finito;" More Details About Rapewell's Jaunt on the Secret Sex Yacht

swallwellyacht.jpg


Here's video of the Boats and Ho's cruise this allegedly married "Christian" man took.

More information about Rapewell's Cooze Cruise:



Sources tell us that in early September 2022, two of Swalwell's pals jetted by private plane from Las Vegas to the French Riviera town where they chartered the 200-foot Arience yacht and called Swalwell to come join them.

We're told the now-former congressman arrived by commercial flight and joined them by tender on the stunning luxury craft.

We're told there were some four or five men on the boat, including Swalwell, and a group of beautiful young women. One of the men is believed to be the entrepreneur Nik Richie.

According to our source, one of the women, a Brit believed to be in her late teens, appeared to be romantically involved with one of the men in the group. But the five or six other women, a mix of Brits and Americans who were a little older (apparently in their 20s), seemed otherwise unacquainted both with the group and with each other.

"The people on the boat were told to keep it hush-hush about Swalwell being on the trip," said a source familiar with the weeklong excursion around the French Riviera. "They were told everything stays on the boat."

The former Bay Area representative had been in Congress nine years by the time of the getaway.

"It didn't seem like a politician," said a source familiar with the antics aboard. "More like president of a frat house."

We're told some of the women seemed to be shipped back to shore, never to return, while others arrived to "replace them."

Regarding the woman who just accused Rapewell of drugging and raping her at the Montrose Hotel in July, 2018: FEC records confirm that Rapewell's campaign paid $360 for expenses at the Montrose Hotel in July, 2018.

You can say that just because she is telling the truth about having been at that hotel on that date with Rapewell doesn't mean she was raped. Well, I'm going to apply the Rapewell standard. Remember, he personally convicted Brett Kavanaugh of rape when the accuser couldn't even remember what year the alleged rape took place in.


The billionaire Democrat donor is not only done with Rapewell, but he says he's done with the entire Democrat Party as well, citing "broken trust."

He had been allowing Rapewell to live there, given that Rapewell is running in California and is required to be a resident but has no home except for the DC Infidelity Pad he shares with Ruben Gallego.

The ex-donor of course booted the couch-surfing farting spy-banging rapist out.


Lefty billionaire Stephen Cloobeck dramatically cut ties with Eric Swalwell and revealed he has kicked him out of his mansion -- hours before the congressman dropped his run for California governor.

"I am no longer supporting Eric," Cloobeck told The Post in an exclusive interview. "F--ing tell everyone I'm a libertarian. F-- you, Democrat Party. I'm a libertarian now."

The ugly breakup between the timeshare mogul and Bay Area congressman -- who pulled out of the governor's race late Sunday -- marks yet another stunning point in Swalwell's cratering political career.

...

Cloobeck spent more than $1 million supporting Swalwell's candidacy, and the embattled congressman filmed a denial video Friday from inside the billionaire's palatial Beverly Hills mansion.

...

He added that he would need to talk with his attorney to see if he can claw back the $1 million he gave an independent committee supporting Swalwell.


Just weeks ago, Cloobeck called Swalwell his "little brother" in an interview with Politico, and he scoffed in a previous interview with The Post when asked about rumors that Swalwell may have acted inappropriately with female staff and interns.

Cloobeck, who said he has been a Democrat for "almost 40-year plus," is now unsure where the allegations will ultimately lead, but he said the controversy was enough to make him walk away.

"I don't know where these facts are going to end up -- you hear or read all this stuff," he said.

...

On top of letting the deeply-in-debt congressman frequently stay at his 9,700-square-foot mansion, Cloobeck gave the maximum $39,200 to Swalwell's campaign and gifted the congressman a $31,000 trip to France in 2024.

Oh, Rapewell's in debt just as he becomes unemployable? Looks like you're finally going to see that Eric Swalwell Gay Porn you've been dreading these many years.

...

Cloobeck had harsh words for fellow billionaire Tom Steyer, saying the progressive hedge funder-turned-environmentalist and candidate for governor -- who has dropped nearly $100 million on the race -- was "spending all this money on bulls--."

"I've met most of the players, and I will continue to," Cloobeck said.


Party affiliation, however, will clearly not be the attribute Cloobeck prioritizes most.

"I'm going to change my Godd-- party affiliation, because I cannot stand this Democratic Party at all," he said. "I am done. Finito."


Ruben Gallego does his best Nathan Thurm impersonation when asked what did he know and when did he know it about his best friend, roommate, and orgy-partner Eric Rapewell:

If you can believe it (and I expect you're capable of believing it) the media is actually congratulating itself on revealing the scandal they covered up for the past 12 years.

And they only "revealed it" after Democrat operatives found the victims and encouraged them to speak to the press.

Wow what a great reporting guys.

Seriously, really great job all around. Give yourselves all the next decade off.

Of course he did, but that doesn't mean he isn't an unindicted sex pest. Whether he drugged women to rape them or not, he is certifiably a creep.

135 based on the standard of evidence he presented against against Trump and Kavanaugh I'd say it is pretty clear it is a drug fueled rape cruise.

pretty much: these are their rules. Swalwell was the loudest pearl clutcher against Kavanaugh's party days and spent the past year making ever darker insinuations and accusations against Trump, to the point of saying that Trump would have naked underage girls sit on his lap when partying with Epstein.

To me that sounds like a confession on his part, but they made the rules. BELIEVE ALL WOMEN! If there are a lot of accusations, it must be true!

- Give CA AG power to imprison ICE agents & their leadership.
- Taxpayer funded legal representation & support for illegal aliens.
- Ignore a SCOTUS ruling that allows ICE to utilize to use race, language, job, and location to contribute to “reasonable suspicion” for immigration arrests, and instead, “California should take matters into our own hands and extend legal protections to its residents, despite the federal governments failure.”

153 The most interesting part of the Swalwell stuff is that nothing came out until one of the other Dems running for governor allowed it.

Even with the DOJ we can't do anything about prominent pols doing stuff like this with full visibility from the Dem and FNM establishment.

This is how it is with yacht girls. You aren't there on a yacht partying because someone owes you a good time. You're there with the expectation you will entertain the guests however they want. Either put out when required or you will be replaced with someone just as hot who will.

238 I’m annoyed Harris didn’t run (for CA governor). She would’ve run away with it. And I would’ve liked to see her actually govern. But it seems like she has her eyes set on running for president again in 2028.

Not running for governor made me lose some respect for her. California needed her and had she done well, she would’ve been a proven winner for president. She wants the easy way by writing a book and hanging out in the shallow end biding her time.

Steyer could be good. I like his idea to cut energy bills by 25% and create more housing. He has a lot to prove that he’s a class traitor like he presents himself. I just hate a self-funded billionaire walking into a position because the competition shot themselves in the foot.

Progressive values are often held by "class traitor" rich people all the way back to FDR, so I wouldn't automatically dismiss him because he's a billionaire. Pritzker's been good, though a billionaire.

California cannot be the only place that passes Medicare for all. It’ll become a salt lick for every uninsured person with expensive chronic disease from around the country. Free healthcare is an all or nothing situation.

Posted by: Xipe Totec at April 15, 2026 03:49 PM (pohLc)



This morning I watched a clip from a long Shawn Ryan interview with one of the ROTC cadets who killed that shooter who walked in and mortally wounded their instructor. Same kind of deal, the guy screamed allah snackbar and shot LTC Shah point blank (one hit out of four shots at less than 10 feet). LTC Shah charged him with a mortal wound in his leg and tackled the guy before the other cadets arrived a couple of seconds later and cut the guy to ribbons with a 2" knife.

Then a few days afterwards, the cadet received a letter from some shit-heel at the university reassuring him that he wouldn't be disciplined for fighting back in violation of university rules. He's pretty sure that the letter was by some commie staffer trying to intimidate him by letting him know that they knew where he lived.

The head of the university was pissed and personally told him that the university itself had nothing to do with the letter and that he had his back.
