26 After polls told us George Conway and that Schlossberg (aka JFK III) were leading or at least competing with each other to replace Nadler, neither got more than 11% of the Democratic primary vote. Currently two people I never heard of (who are doubtless socialist scum) are above 30% of the vote each. Apparently you can't even buy a Democratic primary with crooked polling anymore. What is the world coming to?

I'm currently flying to Hawaii to start my new job in a few days. Should be...interesting.

LISTEN: Jacob Rockwell was fined for running a red light in Pensacola, Florida. Only thing is Jacob wasn’t in Florida, he was in Alabama. He sounded off at a local city meeting recently and his concerns go beyond just one citation.

Reminds me of this recent Iowa case: June 2026: A federal jury awarded $105,000 to Tayvin Galanakis, an Iowa man who was wrongfully detained and arrested for DUI despite having a 0.00 blood alcohol content.

I don't understand this pessimism. Almost no states even allowed concealed carry in the 1980s. Now more than half the states allow it without a permit. How is this right being gradually lost? I'm all for vigilant defense of liberties, but doomerism seems like the opposite of that, since it demoralizes people.

Everyone have a great night.

Hmmm. I have "The Avengers" with Steed and Peele on here in the background in the computer room. I barely remember this from much younger days, barely saw it but LOVED what I saw.

One scene just seemed very familiar to me, despite an enormous amount of time. Interesting.

We do...when deployed to a combat zone. As much as I love all the perks of military service (as I fly with free luggage for showing my ID), at some point, it is just a job/career, and already pays pretty well, with full retirement at 20 years of service. At some point...it's enough.

Although, the Left never says that for teachers, so...dump more largesse on me (and police)!!!

There was a shot of Emma Peele hopping out of her car and going into a building. We only see her from the back. It was kind of obvious that they used a double for this mundane shot, as the double had a butt twice the size of Diana Rigg's.

Yeah, Seasons 5 and 6 with Matt Smith are a bit of a mixed bag.

I really liked Matt Smith's portrayal of The Doctor, but some of the scripts he had to work with were...not good.

I've never been to Hawaii, but all the videos talk about how good poi is, and how it's a cultural symbol, blah blah blah.

My sister, who has been there, said it's just thick bland pasty starch. Sounds like fufu (i think it's called), a bland, doughy mass made from ground cassava root in parts of Africa, which I have had. Pass.

Actually the NFL players wear the same gay ass socks as soccer players and refs. A NC based textile manufacturing company supplies socks for all NFL teams and a bunch of soccer teams of all levels, kids to pros, and our referee crews.

I have about 30 or more pairs of various ref socks, made the same as NFL and soccer pro leagues, and they’re fantastic.

Years ago I was in Kauai and one day I took a tour of the Na Pali coast with a guy who called himself Captain Zodiac. Rubber Zodiac boat.

He was a surfer from California who moved to Hawaii to surf and did the boat thing as a second job for beer money. His real job was being paid by the state as a poi farmer which grew naturally on his property. He literally did nothing other than let the state send people in to harvest it and cash checks.

Hawaiians love their poi.

Thank you Mr. Doof for content.

Busy booking campgrounds for August RV trip. We're tentatively planning on Mesa Verde NP, Dodge City, Ks, and continue east possibly as far as Hannibal, Mo for a steamboat dinner cruise on the mighty Mississip' and maybe the Ozarks before heading west toward home along the Mother Road (Rte 66).

Also getting for a week in Yosemite in July with about 20 in-laws, out-laws and conmon-laws, sons and daughters and associated hangers-on.

Hope this finds my gray-box friends well. It seems someone is missing lately, no?

195 I liked new Dr Who until the "Midnight" episode (David Tennant). The episode itself is brilliant, one of the best Dr Who shows ever, and (tellingly) one that Russell Davies didn't want to air (despite the fact that he wrote it).

There's a line where one of the passengers asks the Dr why they should trust him, and he says "Because I'm clever." The other passengers object that they're not dullards, but the point was made...the New Who writers weren't interested in telling interesting stories, they wanted to show how clever they were in comparison to us idiotic viewers.

And that's where my interest died. Tried a few episodes after, but all I could see was the smugness. "Look how clever I am. Look how creative I am. Enjoy my genius, proles."

One of my most memorable vacation trips ever, when I was a teen, was when my father hired an Indian guide with some Navajo ponies back into the Canyon. There’s a whole network of dwellings back there that you can’t to except on horseback, and you have to hire a Navajo guide because parts of it are outside the Nat park and on their land.

Some of the dwellings are in surprisingly good states of preservation, because they’re so far back no one gets to them. The attitude of the Navajo guide at the ruins was interesting, and he obviously thought we were kind of nuts for wanting to go in. “Not our houses, not our people. Places of the dead.” was all he would say, and he was clearly uncomfortable with the idea of getting too close to them.

He's a former child magician -- very on point for a Dem politician, still professionally fooling people -- and insider wonk. That's an understatement. He's been an aide of various types -- chief of staff, director of policy, etc. -- to Michael Bloomberg, Jerry Nadler, Letitia James, and Kathy Hochul.

What won it for him (aside from Bloomberg's almost $10M) is that his main opponent, Alex Bores, is a former data scientist whose big achievement was sponsoring NY state's AI regulation, to take effect on Jan. 1. So, Bores's main selling point also drew organized opposition.

The problem modern leftists have is that they are an entirely urban phenomenon. All successful revolutionaries had the support or at least the acquiescence of the countryside. Mao and the Khmer Rouge at least in theory venerated the peasants (though in practice they starved like everyone else).

People don't seem to understand this because they think about Paris in 1789 or Petrograd in 1917 when they think of revolution. But those revolutions didn't just benefit from two of the most inept governments before Keir Starmer's premiership, they had peasant support for a while (think 'the Great Terror in France and "Land, Peace and Bread" with the Bolsheviks). Even the Nazis started off with rural East Prussia as their electoral stronghold. Wholly urban revolutions don't work and invariable get crushed. If support for the Spanish Republic had been confined to Madrid and Barcelona as popular memory would have people believe, the Nationalists wouldn't even have had to appoint Franco as their leader. But southern peasants were literal Anarchists!

242 I saw the most amazing piece of horsemanship I’ll ever see on that trip, right in front of me. One of the riders with us was a girl of about 20 or 21, who was clearly experienced with horses, and was also very cute, in an athletic way. I was about 14 and was completely enamored with her, of course. I was following her, and her pony was skittish that day (for no good reason) as we came back down into a dry river bed, that pony decided his saddle bothered him so with no warning he threw himself on his back, to try and get the saddle off or something.

Obviously she could have been badly hurt or even killed by this, and probably should have been. But I remember like it was yesterday, (and I had the best view of anyone) that as that horse went down she smoothly and instantly brought her right foot up to the saddle and launched herself off his back, going into a sweet tuck and roll and landing unscathed a few feet away. Sandy river bottom, so no harm done.
We were pissed at the horse (I think he was moved to pack duty) but mostly we just stood with our mouths open at how effortless she made saving her life look.

254 I actually prefer that Democrats start nominating actual loony commies, especially in blue areas where they will win anyway.

Since the 1930s, Democrats have consistently had a voter registration advantage over Republicans. Even when Nixon and Reagan were winning 49 state victories, there were way more Democrats than Republicans. That advantage has shrunk considerably in the age of Trump, and given how many red states don't have party registration, it might no longer exist.

One of the reasons why Democrats had a structural advantage for so long was that their party was a hodgepodge. You could have George McGovern and George Wallace in the same primary in the same year (1972). Even "moderate" Joe Biden got by playing this game of being something to everyone (especially low info types). Crazy people who wear their policy proposals on their sleeve (and invariable excuse street violence) end the game of pretending to be moderate and then acting radical. You don't get Spanburgers if DSA types win all the primaries.

After a long explanation and presentation of the toys to the boy, the dad sighs and says, "Sorry, Max, but I can't buy you the lady." He sighs sadly and leaves.

Except they were communists pretending to be "moderate" so teaching people what a "socialist" is and calling a spade a spade was completely appropriate. Obama campaigned on "redistribution of wealth" and the party came a c-hair and one dead commie away from nationalizing the health system and implementing a giant new tax for "fairness".

Okay, looked that one up too. Former City Comptroller Brad Lander had Zohran Mamdani's endorsement, and his big campaign issue was supporting Hamas over Israel, using the fallacious "Gaza genocide" rhetoric that is so effective with brain-rotted Democrat primary voters.

They literally primaried out a sitting Congressman for daring to be a non-anti-Israel Jew. That's where that party is now. Unfortunately, I expect most American Jews to remain asleep to what time it is.

For now, the socialists are chanting the code phrase, "Globalize the Intifada". However, it's only a matter of time until they turn subtext into text, and start chanting something like, "From Maine to Hawai'i, America will be Judenfrei." That's what they mean.

But Dan Goldman is such a nasty piece of work, I still get some schadenfreude anyway.

266 257 Try looking closely at precinct results for elections. Or look at the more detailed crosstabs of exit poll.

First, white women are Republicans and have been so since at least 2012. The wine aunt karen is a thing, but she seems much more notable than she really is because she is so darn loud.

Second, old suburbs around cities have become more leftist, but if you get a few miles further out you get ruby red territory. In my state "old growth" suburbs from the 1950s went Democratic even as minority turnout and voting favored Democrats less (and newer suburbs and exurbs became ever more Republican under Trump).

Third, when you take away the college educated (who are not and are not likely to ever be an absolute majority of voters), all sub-groups other than black women are getting more rather than less Republican.

Four, people don't understand policy. They'll claim to support things they end up voting against. A recent YouGov survey was absurdly lopsided towards Democrats, and all the cross-tabs claimed that nobody supported Trump's policies. Yet even in this crap survey, the midterm result was D+3, which might keep the House red.

Not to mention the endless sea of grifters, jackals, and assorted spineless retards that has paraded through as "R", being afraid to challenge the communist social contagion, or just complicit in it, while Democrats fortified their position in every aspect of waking life.

12 years of Trump is going to change people's opinions and attitudes toward a lot of things.

As someone who has been in the education system for over 20 years now (un-unionized, proudly), the idea that these guys are great at brain-washing people is bizarre to me. The biggest union shills are exceptionally lazy and entitled. They can and sometimes do get their students to parrot back their views, but it's about as impactful as that British teacher in Pink Floyd's "The Wall" having his students repeat the definition of an acre back to him.

Not that the education system shouldn't be revamped. It should. End the credentialism based on degrees and make teacher training entirely about managing a classroom. Then encourage burned out middle-aged professionals to transition to teaching once they've learned some methods. Teacher "training" now is all crap theory taught by people with less than five years in the classroom. The TikToks showing HS grads who can't read a sentence are the result. Such people don't even vote, unless they think they are personally getting what whig called their "cheese".

53 Here it is "The 2002 science fiction neo-noir film Minority Report, based on the 1956 short story of the same name by Philip K. Dick, featured numerous fictional future technologies which have proven prescient based on developments around the world. Before the film's production began, director Steven Spielberg invited fifteen experts to think about technologies that would be developed by 2054, the setting of the film...He wanted to consult with the group to create a plausible "future reality" for the year 2054 as opposed to a more traditional "science fiction" setting. Dubbed the "think tank summit", the experts included architect Peter Calthorpe, Douglas Coupland, computer scientist Neil Gershenfeld, biomedical researcher Shaun Jones, computer scientist Jaron Lanier, and former Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) architecture dean William J. Mitchell."

I'm good with Prime games, because up here if you don't have Prime, you pay shipping, and it kills you.

But there's no good reason to pay for Netflix.

Well, I was at my parents to stay with my dad while my mom went to Florida and she had ordered blinds from Home Depot and naturally scheduled installation while she was gone. They had someone come out and measure, and they paid way to much for them. ANYWAY, they don't fit the opening, they don't block as much light as the old ones, the valences sag, the handles are on the wrong side and I forgot what else. Dad hates them and after my mom and sister got home and the crying was done we all hate them and Home Depot.

Thanks for the info. I've got a stack of stuff in front of it, but intend to take a look.

The thing is, Taiwan proves that China can become democratic and modern. The core issue is that ALL faith was destroyed. There is no morality other than "if you can cheat, cheat." No socialist brotherhood, no revolution, just the most rapacious form of capitalism ever devised backed by a one-party dictatorship.

"Be good while you're here or you'll regret it for the rest of eternity" can make evil turn good.

188 “ My sister spent a year in China on a "mission". She could teach business, but not mention Christ. Some mission. That's one reason I found the book interesting.”

His book is good but I always found Townsend to be a controversial figure. He’s was kinda this well off Ivy League educated guy with what seemed more like biases than learned experiences which ultimately clouded his pronouncements. Don’t get me wrong I think he got a lot right about China but there are some important things he missed. I also think he was largely right about the Japanese. I’m also not one given to conspiracy but some of the things about FDR going after him because Townsend knew FDR was pushing towards war with Japan ring partially true. YMMV

Croatia is Catholic Serbia, and therefore sympathetic with the Habsburgs (they use the Latin alphabet). When Yugoslavia was forced on the Balkan nations, the Serbs ended up in the driver's seat and that was bad news for some folks.

After Yugoslavia was conquered, the Croats were restored to a higher status. Naturally, they wanted to preserve that.

They lost. Tito won. And then when he died, they broke away and got German recognition because reasons.

I think it was about it's subject. The US was roaming the inland waterways of China and the Chinese didn't like it. It was a fact. In the 1930s (when the story took place) Nationalist China had finally found its strength and wanted the foreigners out.

That's it. You can read Vietnam into it, but it came out before Vietnam was much of a thing.

But China was, and so I think that's what it was about - how we "lost" China. Another factor is that it was now 30 years since those events had happened. That's often when people do historical films and reflect on a past that is fading away. Wait too long, and everyone who remembers it is dead.

212 Correction: It is in 1926 (I thought it was 1930, my bad).

So yes, the Nationalists are building their strength and in 1928 the Northern Expedition unifies the nation. But in the south, the Nationalists are already gaining control.

So the interval (40 years) is very similar to other flashbacks. Lots of World War I books emerged in the early 1960s for that reason. The vets are getting up there, and want to tell their stories.

One thing I’ve been taught throughout my education is to try and determine people’s motives, objectives and morals before you step in. When you liberate the oppressed make damn sure you know which side that is. The Taiping Rebellion was interesting in that regard. People jumped right in before they really knew what the motives were.

Not really. The treaty ports and trading rights were extracted at gunpoint. The interesting this is that the ChiComs have to really distort history to make the US a villain in the Unequal Treaty era, since we were the *only* power that did not want a concession. We wanted an Open Door, where all foreign powers could trade on the basis of equality with no carve-outs are special rights.

The Asiatic Fleet was there to secure American interests and keep banditry down, and I think the movie shows that we got along with the Chinese quite well until Nationalist fervor took hold. At that point the crew is basically just trying to live through it, breaking out to the coast.

It is a party with views that are antithetical to our democratic republic. It seeks to subvert our ideals and system of government by any means possible including murder. It is not going to stop until we curb stomp them out of existence. The unfortunate part is it is attracting a lot of like minded and disaffected people who are swayed by their lies and unrealistic promises. It’s really an insurgency because it’s no longer a debate about how to achieve what is best for our country. Their motives are to destroy it using the very auspices which underpin our society- the social contract, law, liberty, freedom and the Constitution. We must win this battle.

Why in the world do you need a toaster that's connected to the internet? One that costs $450?

You can get a perfectly serviceable toaster that will last forever (more or less) from Walmart for a fraction of that cost.

This is the correct answer. China is obsessed with symbols of power, so having aircraft carriers means China is also powerful. Their carriers are garbage, and the latest "supercarrier" uses magnetic catapults but relies on conventional (oil) power, meaning it has pathetic endurance. Can't cross the Pacific without a train of refuelers.

Carriers are NOT obsolete, as the war against Iran showed. Nuclear carriers have incredible endurance, stand-off strike capability and a great deal of flexibility in terms of what type of operation. Hypersonic missiles are being hugely oversold. Carriers move. They move constantly. So course corrections are vital, but if a carrier is over the horizon and your satellite comms are jammed, you are firing blind.

There are some ferries on the Great Lakes. One that I know about runs from Manitowoc, WI, to Luddington, MI. There's the Wisconsin Maritime Museum in Manitowoc focused on the Great Lakes. Naval buffs can also tour the USS Cobia.

This ferry's website is https://ssbadger.com

There's another between Milwaukee, WI and Muskegon, MI. It's a shorter distance, and a newer ferry. That's at https://www.lake-express.com/

331 Today, here in NE Okla., we have enjoyed alternating sunshine and heavy storms. Or, as we call it, Spring. Okay, it's "officially" (for certain values of "official") Summer, but just barely.

We managed to get some of the lawn mowed so Daisy Dog's tennis balls don't get lost, although she did drop one somewhere while chasing a squirrel. It's nice, generally, but I can already feel the days getting shorter and Winter setting in. Okay, not really, but, but, it's the post-solstice dread trickling into the back of my mind.

AGAIN: The BBC Fake-Apologizes For Deliberately Covering Up for "Trans Woman" Who Threatened to Murder Little Girls At School for the Crime of "Misgendering"

This is the real face of "transfemicide."

Whatever that is, and that's not a Tuq'r Qarlson style evasion -- seriously, whatever that made-up word for a made-up non-trend is.

On January 19, the BBC "reported" on "threats" made against schools.

Here is their first report -- keeping all relevant facts out of public sight.

A man who admitted sending a number of threatening hoax emails to schools across Merseyside, causing some to go into lockdown, has been jailed.

Darren Rigby, 21, of Runcorn admitted three counts of sending communication threatening death or serious harm over a number of days.

Holly Lodge Girl's College in Liverpool, Greenbank High School in Southport and later The Belvedere Academy in Princes Park in Liverpool were targeted in January.

The threats were serious enough that the schools temporarily closed. The "younger girls" were "particularly affected" and were "terrified."

Parents and the public generally would want to know what occasioned these threats, and what kind of a person this "man" is.

But the BBC refused to tell them.

Only now, six months later -- after the man threatening to murder little girls is sentenced to 28 months -- do they admit the motive for the crime:

A man who admitted sending a number of threatening hoax emails to three girls schools, threatening to target pupils and staff over the "misgendering" of trans girls, has been jailed...

In the email to Holly Lodge on 19 January, he said he was "inside the school, hiding with a sword and crossbow", adding that he was "going to injure and kill as many girls as I can" and anyone who "tries to stop me will also be shot".

On 23 January, he sent a message to Greenbank, saying he on his way "to the school with a revolver and machete".

He said he was "going to shoot and stab all of your girls", adding that "you TERFS" [an acronym of Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist which has been used as a derogatory term against women opposed to gender ideology] were "going to learn to stop mocking and misgendering transwomen like me".

A transwoman?

Note that the BBC always claims that "transwomen" are women -- until one of those transwomen threatens the mass murder of little girls, and then they just call him a "man."

Why the sudden change to the stylebook rule about identifying "trans women" as "women," BBC?

See more from John Sexton at Hot Air. The BBC "apologizes for the failures in its reporting," but does so with a lie: they claim that the reason these key details were omitted was a simple "miscommunication" between reporters and editors.

Do you believe that? Because I'll tell you, I don't.

Trust us, they lied.

Fire them all. Every single person involved in this corrupt suppression of reality, and everyone involved in drafting this fake cover-up non-apology.

Bonus: Comics artist Ethan Van Sciver is gloating over the downfall of another nasty SJW.

Andrew Farago is a lisping SJW who curates the comic museum in San Francisco. (Or did --they've removed his name from their website.)

He was one of the main #CancelCulture warriors responsible for getting Van Sciver fired from DC comics for the crime of supporting Donald Trump.

Very big on cancelling, very big on using his Twitter account to inflict his idea of morality on strangers.

But the thing about left-wing men is: If you can't tell just by looking at them what has caused them to join the left, then there is always an nasty hidden reason for it.

It's either poop or kids, and sometimes it's both.

A leading figure in San Francisco's cartoon community admitted to secretly recording guests, including children, inside a bathroom at his home, according to court records.

Andrew Farago, who was a curator at San Francisco's Cartoon Art Museum, was arrested earlier this month at his South Berkeley home on 20 counts of invasion of privacy for using a camera to record the unsuspecting victims at a birthday bash last month.

The 50-year-old had hosted the party at his house on May 23 where both adults and children used his bathroom.

At one point, a woman found a cellphone in the bathroom recording video. Farago had allegedly set the phone up and concealed it with a towel, and then aimed the phone "to record people's genitalia as they used the restroom," police said.

She confronted Farago, who police said admitted to the sick surveillance while claiming that he deleted the videos.

He also apologized via email to his party guests, court records showed.

"I hid my phone in our bathroom for the purpose of spying on our guests, my closest friends in the world. I had never done anything like that before and don't know what possessed me to do it," he wrote in the note.

Farago added that he "is prepared to face whatever consequences will come from this tremendous lapse in judgement."

Really? So you're not going to fight a prison sentence and being placed on the sex offender registry?

The guy is married (or "married"), but don't waste any sympathy for his wife, who Van Sciver says is just as vicious a bitch as her "husband" is.

@Aaron_Sparrow

5h

Another "huge defender of women's rights," Andrew Farago, gets outed as a sex pest/pervert.

You may remember Farago as a loud, outspoken, defender of every instance of "the current thing."

It's almost as if these virtue-signaling "male feminists" are throwing up a smokescreen. 🤔

Patton Oswalt would tell you the worst part is the hypocrisy. My stance is that the worst part is the sexual predation.

Oh, I know! The 'why' for any kind of cheating is always twofold: first, "Because I *wanted* to" is the explanation for the act; and then, "Because I *deserved* it" is what justified doing whatever it took.

I've never been married, but I've heard that a betrayed spouse can spend literally years confused about 'why'. Don't overthink it; the cheater certainly didn't.

JUST IN: A federal judge has ordered the embassy fencing to be removed outside the Federal Building in Eugene, Oregon.

The fencing was recently installed in response to ongoing violent riots carried out by Antifa and aligned anarchist groups since June 2025.

Rioters shattered windows and breached the facility earlier this year, prompting FBI manhunts.

89 Reuters: UK considers forcing social media firms to prioritise trusted news

https://tinyurl.com/2s4dpzc5

Britain is considering forcing social media companies to prioritise what the government called trusted news sources as part of its broader push ​to tighten regulation of the sector.

The culture department said on Monday ‌it was considering requiring platforms such as Meta's Facebook, Alphabet-owned YouTube and TikTok to make content from public service media — including the BBC, ITV and Channel 4 — and other ​trusted news providers easier to find in users' feeds and searches.

It's so fucking unfair how the crucial time to transition is the only time no one lets you. Fuck my life

HRT works great even if you take it late in life. Teenagehood is not going to ruin you i promise

yes, HRT still works wonders past 18 lmao it made me such a handsome dude w such incredible facial hair lol

British-government ass response. Yes, transition post puberty can work, but you have no idea about his situation. Maybe try comiserating a little bit. Show some emotional inteligence and meet OP where he's at.

It literally does not. With most of your bones fused after puberty there are only few things that HRT might change. Do not spread harmufl misinformation, please.

President Lyndon B. Johnson frequently conducted official meetings while seated on the toilet. This unconventional practice was a deliberate tactic of his persuasion style, known as the "Johnson treatment," designed to create awkward environments that allowed him to dominate conversations through flattery or bullying.

Bathroom Tactics and Installations Johnson often left the bathroom door wide open and installed telephones in various White House bathrooms to ensure he never missed a call while using the facilities. He would summon aides into the room, and if they attempted to maintain his privacy by turning away or standing at a distance, he would insist they come closer to hear him better.

138 Thanks guys. All quiet on the western front. Life is weird.

Second shot; then a brief quiet. I've still not seen the shooter or his precise location; no screaming, shouting or any other noise. I'm looking directly across the center of the room and the shooter appears (no longer concealed by the 6 foot high "hold" books shelving.) He is on aisle #2: He is 6 foot tall, slender, has a long stride, is edge-on to me, and is moving briskly (not running). I see for him 1.5 seconds and then he's out of my view angle. I lose sight of him. Now he begins shooting again; 3,4,5 shots. Quiet again, no one is screaming or shouting. I really believed the shooter was reloading (apparently not.) Time passes; I've literally no idea how much time has passed. I now creep forward and look down the long aisle and see the shotgun on the ground. I immediately (foolishly) think he's a suicide and walk down the aisle and stop directly next to the shotgun. He's not there. But I see a man lying on his back, walk over and he's clearly dead. I step forward two paces and look (to my right) down aisle#2. Nothing, I retreat two steps, look left, and realize that CPD officers are kneeling at the rear ..

Woke Prophet James Talarico Is So Convinced of His Chuch of Progressivism Dogma He's Busy Deleting It All From His Website to Snooker Texas Voters

He's even deleting the word "progressive."

See, he's a moderate now you guys.

Texas's Talarico Scrubbed Website of Statements Supporting 'Trans Kids' and 'Bold, Progressive Ideas' Ahead of Senate Run


Talarico, who represents a deep-blue district in the State House, has excised the word 'progressive' from campaign site


Texas Democrat James Talarico's website once promoted his support for "trans kids" and "bold, progressive ideas." That was then. Around the time he launched his Senate campaign in a state that hasn't elected a Democrat to the upper chamber since 1988, that changed, a Washington Free Beacon review found. Today, as Talarico tries to break the Texas Democrats' dry spell, his campaign website makes no mention of his "progressive" values.

As a state lawmaker representing a deep-blue Austin district, Talarico was not shy about broadcasting his left-wing views. On his site's homepage, the 37-year-old said he was "not afraid to stand up to Republican extremism" and boasted about leading "the fight against their efforts to bully trans kids, ban books, whitewash our history curriculum, gut public education with a private school voucher scam, and force their Christian nationalist agenda onto the people of Texas." The site's "Accomplishments" section, meanwhile, presented Talarico as a champion of "Bold, Progressive Legislation."

"I'm committed to building momentum for bold, progressive ideas--no matter how long it takes," Talarico wrote, according to an archived version of the site from August 2025, less than a year ago. "I've introduced ambitious legislation to give every Texas teacher a $15,000 raise, legalize marijuana, combat climate change, and repeal anti-union laws that keep workers from organizing."

The site got a makeover in early September, when Talarico launched his Senate campaign, archives show. The homepage credits Talarico with fighting "billionaire mega-donors" rather than "Republican extremism." A "Meet James Talarico" section touts the Democrat's efforts to "expand job opportunities for young adults" rather than fight for "trans kids." And the site's "Why I'm Running" page says the "biggest divide in this country is not left vs. right" but "top vs. bottom." The word "progressive" has vanished.

The revisions reflect the challenges Talarico faces as he attempts to swap a State House seat in the liberal enclave of Austin for a U.S. Senate seat in a state that has not sent a Democrat to the upper chamber since 1988, when Lloyd Bentsen was elected to serve a fourth term. Kamala Harris won Talarico's Austin district by nearly 50 points in 2024, when President Donald Trump won Texas by nearly 14 points. In his earlier races, Talarico presented himself as a "Democrat," with endorsements from left-wing groups like "Liberal Austin Democrats," who's "fighting back against Republican extremism." Now, he says he's an "eighth-generation Texan, former middle school teacher, and Presbyterian seminarian" running to "take his fight against corruption to Washington."

Somehow Talarico can't convince Texans that he's actually a man.


Talarico's State House and U.S. Senate campaigns also share donors, most notably Talarico's mother, Tamara Talarico, with whom Talarico shares a checking account. She has contributed thousands of dollars to federal Democrats since 2023, including $650 to Talarico's Senate campaign, and contributed $5,000 to his campaign for state representative in 2021. That same year, she and Talarico's adoptive father, Mark Talarico, covered Talarico's "moving expenses" at a cost of $1,437.84, records show. Talarico was 32 years old.

The New York Post reports on something I'm pretty sure is no longer on Talarico's website: He's a self-declared "fanboy" of a a self-described "TransQueer Latinx" theologian.

Texas Democratic Senate hopeful James Talarico once lavished praise on a self-described "TransQueer, Latinx" activist theologian as a major source of inspiration for his left-wing philosophy.

"When you started following me on Twitter, I couldn't contain my inner fan boy, because I read your book last year and it continues to inspire me and y'all's work continues to inspire me," the state lawmaker told Roberto Henderson-Espinoza during a March 2021 podcast appearance.

"I told you I was a boring, straight, cis white man, and I added 'Presbyterian' to spice it up," Talarico added. "My imagination is also just limited by my own background and identity."

"My whiteness, my masculinity, all those things limit my imagination about what's possible," he went on. "And that's where ... your book helps me do that."

Henderson-Espinoza, a PhD scholar, uses He/They pronouns and self-describes as Mestizaje (mixed race), autistic, non-binary, transgender, and Latinx.

Autistic? No.

psychologicalcope.jpg

I know it's mean to link these mutants' pictures, but I do so because it makes it pretty clear that they are not engaging like traditional philosophers in an inquiry into the nature of reality, but are instead ugly, dumpy weirdo failures working backwards from their handicaps and physical flaws and confabulating a mock-religion that tells them they're really really pretty.


The book Talarico referred to was Henderson-Espinoza's "Activist Theology," published in 2019, which lays out a brand of progressive religious values aimed at fighting "interlocking supremacies."

The two began interacting in February 2021 after Talarico followed Henderson-Espinoza on X and described himself as "a BIG fan."

Since winning the Democratic nod for Senate, Talarico has faced a deluge of attacks from Republicans accusing him of being too woke for Texas.

GOP critics have pointed to Talarico's past remarks, including from 2021, when he explained that "In my faith, God is non-binary," argued that the Bible is fine with abortion, and suggested that there are six biological sexes.


Talarico's past affinity for Henderson-Espinoza seemingly provides some clues about where he was getting some of those ideas.

In 2018, Henderson-Espinoza penned a paper calling for "transing religion as one approach to methodologically dismantle the logic of the norm that grounds the reproduction of binarisms and theologies of complementarity."

He praised the Bible as "trans-positive," described transgender individuals as "Easter icons," and has given sermons while wearing "Black Lives Matter" paraphernalia.

'Citizen Vigilante' is the exact cultural pipe bomb we deserved in 2026.

Is it an artistic masterpiece? Hell no. It’s directed by Uwe Boll, meaning it has all the cinematic finesse of a raccoon trapped in a dumpster. But who cares about the choppy editing when the movie is swinging a rusted machete at the exact systemic rot everyone else is too terrified to mention?

This would be the same Uwe Boll who directed all three BloodRayne movies; House of the Dead and Alone in the Dark.

58 Stephen Miller was on Fox attacking Talarico's masculinity lol. I adore the fact they literally have NOTHING to go after Talarico about!

Imagine some gollum nazi questioning another person's masculinity. Watching the clip, I don't think I've ever seen him smiling until now. Definitely unsettling.

....and Hannity just sits there like the dutiful lemming he is and let's this asshat slander Talarico -- a far bigger man than any of them.

They know they can't win on policies. They know that Abbot is unpopular and seen as a corrupt loser. Thier only chance is to tell white working class voters Talarico is a whimp and a girly-man because that will impact the male voters of Texas.

The “what is a woman” crowd doesn’t know what a man is. They think *that* guy is qualified to gatekeep masculinity. 🤣😂🤣

Talarico is the kind of Christian they all think they are. He's walking the walk. I'm not interested in religion by any stretch, but his version of Jesus is the guy from the stories, not the one sold on FauxNooz. They know that and hate him for it so they're trying to discredit him.

71 He praised the Bible as "trans-positive," described transgender individuals as "Easter icons," and has given sermons while wearing "Black Lives Matter" paraphernalia.

I guess the OT scriptures on treatment of homosexual relationships is totes "trans-positive", as are the NT scriptures:

Romans 1:24-27
Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

I could be wrong but if so they need to realize that they're here in the Great State of Texas.

91 One of the very, very few things I can appreciate about Democrats is that they are honest about routinely defying G-d.

They constantly return to the fantasy of a man made utopia like a dog returns to its vomit. They defy nature. They celebrate sodomy, and mutilation of the innocent in the service of the basest earthly urges. They tell you that the virtuous are wicked, and the wicked virtuous. They elevate sin as the highest expression of art, and the highest form of love.

The Republicans look you in the face and decry this moral inversion, but practice it at home. That's *their* brand of Satanic evil.

A Christian Democrat is a purposeless demon.

120 Henderson-Espinoza, a PhD scholar, uses He/They pronouns

Aside from everything else that is insane, laughable and infuriating about this whole "pronouns" debate, the thing that is MOST ridiculous is their insentence on not knowing the difference between Subjective and objective cases in basic English grammar.

If you're going to mangle reality and demand that a woman be referred to by male pronouns, yu're supposed to say "he/him," with "he" being the sub jective case singular, and "him being the obje3ctive case singular.

E.g. "He is standing over there. I will give a flower to him."

But no. Now these maniacs demand, defying all logic and grammar, they they use two differen subjective pronouns, one being for the bjective place in a sentence:

"He is standing over there. I will give a flower to they." ???

Insead, what they (pun inrended) are doing is using the prounun demand to delineate the range or span of crazy-person dream-world identities they occupy, as in "I'm someone in the range between 'he' and 'they'."

And Noah Webster spun in his grave.

Real Christian’s are not fooled by this; only those where the seed fell on thin soil. (See the parable of the sower). And the people doing this always think they’re doing something new, when actually this started about 10 minutes after the Apostle Paul decided to take a trip around the Mediterranean.

That’s why Talarico will fail so badly - he and his backers think Christians don’t know about false prophets and false teachers. I’ve got news for you; we’ve seen it all before, and from far more skilled versions than this sad little twink.

I agree with you in almost every respect. But for several cycles, I’ve been (for my own amusement) trying to forecast Texas results and have gotten pretty close. (It’s actually a pretty predictable state)
I put Paxton at 57-43 in the fall, partly because I think black voter turnout is going to be very low, and that kills democrats in Texas.

Only big surprise was how close Beto got, and that was mainly the creepy Old College Boyfriend vibe he gave to so many middle aged women.

Germany had a goofball election system with 2 stages to be elected president. Hitler did not win a majority but Hindenberg failed to reach 50 percent himself and had lost support overall to other candidates, including Hitler. In the runoff Hitler picked up more votes for President than others did. After the election Hindenberg's chancellor called a Reichstag election and the Nazis became the largest party in the country by a good margin and after the deadlock Hindenberg appointed Hitler to the chancellorship and that was pretty much that. "not having a majority" doesn't mean much if you accept multiple fragmented parties that can't govern alone.

North Texas Antifa Cell Members Recieve Combined 450 Years as Sentence for "Protest" Involving Shooting of a Cop in the Neck

Andy Ngo delivers the good news.

The actual shooter got 100 years, a trantifa ringleader got 70 years, and various other antifa/trantifa conspirators got 50 years, with a couple getting 30.

The left is claiming this is an "attack on free speech" because their violence is, of course, "speech."

BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: North Texas Antifa Terror Cell Members Sentenced to Combined 450 Years in Federal Prison


And their legal woes are not yet over.


FORT WORTH, Texas -- Eight members of a North Texas Antifa terror cell received historic federal sentences on Tuesday, with prison terms ranging from 30 years to life in prison for their roles in the shooting ambush on an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility. The attack led to the first federal Antifa terrorism prosecution -- and later convictions -- in U.S. history.

U.S. District Judge Mark T. Pittman sentenced ringleader Benjamin Hanil Song to 100 years in prison. Song was convicted of the most serious offenses in the case, including attempted murder and discharging a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence. Prosecutors proved at trial that he shot Alvarado Police Lt. Thomas Gross in the neck during the Fourth of July attack last year.


Bradford Morris, a trans militant and sex worker known as "Meagan Morris," who lived in a Dallas commune with other trans individuals he referred to as his "wives," was sentenced to 50 years. (The Kessler Heights neighborhood commune also functioned as one of the group's bases.)

Maricela Rueda was sentenced to 70 years in prison.

Elizabeth Soto was sentenced to 50 years in prison.

A Mexican national received 30 years. See the article for the whole list.

...

The defendants were among nine Antifa members convicted by a federal jury in March following the first federal Antifa terrorism trial in U.S. history. Their prison sentences are the longest in American history for convicted violent Antifa members.


Jurors found the defendants guilty of offenses including providing material support to terrorists, rioting, conspiracy involving explosives and related crimes.

The trial featured extensive evidence regarding the group's ideology, planning and preparation for the attack.

Seven co-defendants pleaded guilty ahead of trial, and five agreed to cooperate with prosecutors and testify against their comrades. As part of their plea deals, they admitted in signed stipulated facts to the court that they organized behind an antifa ideology.

But antifa is just an idea

One of those co-defendants, Lynette Sharp, told jurors that members trained together with firearms and coordinated through encrypted Signal chats. Evidence introduced at trial showed that members operated under aliases and carefully planned the direct action.

Jurors viewed video evidence showing the cell arriving dressed in black bloc and equipped with firearms, body armor, medical supplies and explosive devices.

According to testimony, Song acquired 11 firearms and distributed them among members of the group before the operation.

The group used explosive fireworks to lure federal agents and facility personnel from the detention center before opening fire.


Lt. Gross survived the shooting. Jurors were shown his blood-stained ballistic vest during testimony.

Investigators recovered a cache of weapons, ammunition and electronic devices stored in Faraday bags designed to block signals. Authorities also later recovered Antifa anarchist propaganda. Testimony established that members of the group had trained together and collectively acquired more than 50 firearms before the attack.

More at the link.

Additional codefendants will be sentenced on July 1.

Violent antifa propaganda rag the New Republic calls this a "crackdown on free speech."

Oh, New Republic? Do we conservatives equally have the right to use guns against the left as part of our "free speech"?

Think carefully before answering.

10 Not intending to hijack but...

Cancer update:

I have stage 2, "unfavorable intermediate" cancer.

Unfavorable intermediate is an awful name for what it means, which is the middle but bad enough that they want to treat it. Oh, and it's more aggressive than previously thought so here are the treatment options.

I can go with surgery (which has pretty unfortunate side effects), or radiation plus temporary chemical castration (which has pretty unfortunate side effects), or, of course, death. Pretty sure I'm gonna rule out the last option so I just have to decide on which set of pretty unfortunate side effects I prefer.

Yay!

A woman caught on video emptying a public trash can on the street then stealing it during New York City’s Knicks championship parade was a director at JPMorgan Chase who was fired Tuesday over the incident, The Post has learned.

Angie Báez, 40, was promoted to Executive Director of Community and Industry Engagement for Card and Connected Commerce at JPMorgan Chase more than a year ago, according to her LinkedIn profile.

She previously served as Executive Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at New York-based review website The Infatuation, which Chase acquired as part of its broader push into lifestyle and experiential content.

Terrorism by definition. Oddly enough - supported by the conflux of "Religious Freedom" - "Free Speech" - and general "go along to get along" that is Modern America.

Hate it.

214 Off topic:

Starbucks is about to get it's posterior handed to them on retail products. Lavazza Coffee (Italian coffee Company) is scaling up their production in the US. You might have already noticed their new presence on the shelves. This is a direct result of the current economic policy to entice corporations to set up shop in the US. Lavazza has vastly increased the size of a roasting plant they set up in West Chester, Pa...and that means their distribution costs are going to be less than Starbuck's for the East Coast. And, they are already about $3 cheaper on a 12 oz. bag of retail bought coffee. And, IMO it tastes better...especially since it's now roasted closer to home, and fresher at the store.

I predict some Starbucks store closings coming up shortly.

Politico: Senator Reuben Gallego (Who Fancies Himself a Candidate for President or VP in 202 Shared a Joint Back Account With His F***buddy Eric Swalwell, Used His Campaign Kitty to Pay for Personal Expenses

I can't believe that this slob believes he can be President or VP.

He thinks he has an in because he's Hispanic and Democrats are nothing but racial panderers.

Oh, I guess he does have an in, then.

Gallego tapped campaign cash for family travel, Super Bowl tickets, records show

Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) has deployed donor funds to cover travel for his family, child care and a trip to the Super Bowl, a POLITICO review of campaign finance records shows.


Sen. Ruben Gallego repeatedly used campaign cash to fund luxury outings with his wife and to care for his children since launching his campaign for Senate in 2023, according to a POLITICO review of campaign finance records and a person familiar with the senator's spending.

The Arizona Democrat has used his leadership PAC to fund recent trips to Miami, Chicago, Disneyland and Disney World with his family. Gallego has tapped that PAC and his main campaign committee for more than $18,000 in reimbursements for child care since 2019 -- including $400 to his wife's mother for babysitting.

A Democrat using public funds to pay a family member for "services rendered"?!

I did not see that coming.


And Federal Election Commission records show that on one such occasion, Gallego used a joint campaign account with disgraced former Rep. Eric Swalwell to attend the 2023 Super Bowl in Arizona with his wife, Sydney.

Federal lawmakers can legally use campaign committee funds for travel, food, events and even child care, as long as those funds are not for "personal use," meaning they may not cover activities that would exist irrespective of the campaign, according to the FEC. Leadership PACs are not even beholden to that "personal use" rule, meaning lawmakers have broad latitude to use the money they raise as long as it has some fundraising function. Ruben Gallego has leaned into that leeway, with his three children, Sydney Gallego, her mother and their full-time au pair frequently joining the senator on donors' dime, according to the person, who was granted anonymity to speak candidly about the situation.

"He just spends his campaign account like it's his personal slush fund," said the person. "He's using campaign cash to live a luxury lifestyle."

Gallego did not dispute using donor funds to pay for family travel or child care. "This is not breaking news," he said in a statement to POLITICO. "With the rising costs of child care and the burden it has on the budgets of American families, Democrats and Republicans in Congress and the White House alike regularly travel with their wives and children, as is permitted by the FEC."

Unbelievable. He blamed his misappropriation of funds for personal use on... Trump.


Gallego is considering a presidential run in 2028. On Friday, Gallego traveled to South Carolina, where he took part in the Democratic Party's "On the Road" series on Juneteenth.

But the pattern of spending could pose a major liability on top of his longtime friendship with Swalwell, who resigned from Congress in April amid allegations of sexual assault and a series of headlines about his misuse of campaign funds.

...

The person familiar with his spending said that there was concern among some members of Gallego's inner circle that he would not pass the required vetting to be president or vice president.

...

Gallego has denied any knowledge of Swalwell's actions and called for him to be expelled from Congress. Swalwell has called the allegations against him "false" and pledged to fight them.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) told CBS News in April that she had asked Senate leadership to investigate Gallego about allegations of misconduct that are "sexual in nature," as well as "issues of campaign finance violations" but did not release details. A Gallego spokesperson called those allegations "right wing conspiracy theories." Luna did not respond to a request for comment.

Dude, you had an affair with a staffer and then divorced your wife when she was nine months pregnant. You went around the world with Eric Swalwell while he was banging whores in hotel rooms in which you were present as well.

This is not a "conspiracy theory."

Federal lawmakers can legally use campaign committee funds for travel, food, events and even child care, as long as those funds are not for “personal use,” meaning they may not cover activities that would exist irrespective of the campaign, according to the FEC. Leadership PACs are not even beholden to that “personal use” rule, meaning lawmakers have broad latitude to use the money they raise as long as it has some fundraising function. Ruben Gallego has leaned into that leeway, with his three children, Sydney Gallego, her mother and their full-time au pair frequently joining the senator on donors’ dime, according to the person, who was granted anonymity to speak candidly about the situation.

This is why none of these assholes will ever see the inside of a jail.

They spend so much time obfuscating, destroying evidence, and laying down false trails in their criminal activity that their defense attorneys can easily spin a web of lies to sway a jury that it was just a "misunderstanding."

The prosecution, meanwhile, has to unpack the complicated story and make it easy for a jury to understand that the politician broke black-letter law and therefore needs to go to jail.

87 “Our indictment charges 11 defendants for over $2 billion in fraud and fraudulent claims in connection to alleged would care schemes. The indictment also alleges that these individuals then used the taxpayer money to bankroll multi-million-dollar homes, luxury vehicles,” said Blanche.

In addition, the defendant has been accused of using the money to purchase expensive jewelry and funding the construction of a $4.6 million beach resort in the Philippines.

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., described how HHS is tracking down fraudsters.

“We are deploying advanced artificial intelligence and data analytics to identify fraudulent billing patterns in real time, stop improper payments before they occur, and strengthen oversight across federal health programs.

Well, expulsion is a power of each chamber of Congress.

But successful expulsion takes 2/3 of the present voting body (with a quorum).

So, you'd need to get all 53 GOPers to vote for expulsion (possible, but Murk would vote no just because she's actually a Democrat) as well as 14 (scratch that, 15) Democrats to vote for it as well.

Would Fetterman vote for it? If you even have to pause to think about it, the answer is that no, 15 Democrats will never, ever come close to it.

It's debatable that the people have any real power in elections, though recent results are more promising than usual.

Congress is dead-set against any real election reforms because the status quo is what keeps the old guard in power.

And that is my biggest problem with her running for Senate in 2024.

If shenanigans were in play in 2022 (and I believe they were, as I voted in person on Election Day and experienced the malfunctioning ballot printer issue), why would Lake believe her Senate election would be correctly run in 2024?

125 I do not for a second believe that they had the power to break that election across the state level, used it against Kari Lake, and refused to do it against Trump.

I wish the 17th Amendment had never passed.

State legislatures choosing senators was deeply flawed.

But it was far less flawed than this.

I can't imagine, though, the world of shit that would arise if we repealed the 17th. State governments are FAR more addicted to federal spending now than they were in the late 19th century. "We are sending you to get the state government more free money," would be the rule for every senator in the Senate.

56 families experienced the unimaginable horror.

56 Senators sit and watch as the accused Senator snuffs out their own blood.

Stop nominating women. Sorry, not worth losing over.

I think the issue is women are just wired to be more liberal, so you get "weak" Republican women voters looking for an excuse to vote Democrat anyway.

Under Threat of Anti-Trust Action, Un-American MLB Walks Back Threat to Discipline Players for Daring to Include Biblical References on Their Forced Gay Cosplay Hats

As you know, the San Francisco Giants forced players to wear pRiDe rainbow caps. Some players objected to being forced to wear this antibiblical message, so they put little strips of cloth on the caps noting a specific Biblical passage that mentions the rainbow as God's promise to never flood the world again.


It was a small attempt to balance out the compromise of their conscience being forced upon them by the Gay Mafia, Baseball Chapter, and the Gay Mafia could not tolerate that. They threatened to fine or discipline the players daring to safeguard their own consciences, citing fake rules that no player may ever include his own private messages on his uniform.

That's a lie, the league allowed/encouraged BLM messaging on uniforms and cleats.

Josh Hawley responded by threatening to investigate major baseball's unique and unlawful judge-made exemption to our anti-trust laws, and once again corporate back down because money and phony-baloney jobs are much more important to them than their woke posturing.


MLB Walks Back Threats Over Bible Verses At Pride Night

"The players were neither fined nor disciplined, nor will they ever be."


Major League Baseball backed down Monday after threatening several San Francisco Giants players over Bible verses marked on their Pride Night caps, promising not to fine or discipline them for expressing their Christian faith.

In a letter to Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), MLB Commissioner Robert Manfred said the league was enforcing existing rules and blamed the San Francisco Giants for a controversy that quickly became a religious-liberty flashpoint.

"By warning the Giants players that they may not include Bible verses on their caps in the future, MLB was not discriminating or chastising those players based on their religious beliefs; rather, MLB was enforcing (with only an oral warning) a long-standing, collectively bargained rule that keeps uniforms clean and avoids controversy," Manfred said.

Manfred explained that the MLB allows clubs to wear customized uniforms during just 12 league-sanctioned events each year, including Mother's Day, Father's Day, Independence Day, Sept. 11, and Jackie Robinson Day.

And BLM messages.

And if you don't want players stealth-objecting to the pro-LGBT messages you're forcing them to repeat, stop forcing them to repeat pro-LGBT messages. Make wearing the Gay Cosplay optional.

However, Manfred said individual clubs retain the flexibility to recognize other commemorative events throughout the season. He noted that in 2023, the San Francisco Giants and Los Angeles Dodgers successfully requested that their use of Pride emblems on uniforms and hats during Pride Night be grandfathered in under the league's policy.

Oh, so some people are allowed to add their own messages to their uniforms, if the Gay/BLM MLB approves.

...

"We understand that some players or other on-field personnel have not been comfortable wearing the pride emblem on their uniform based on their religious beliefs," he added.

During Pride Night, San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Landen Roupp was among them. He inscribed a passage from Genesis 9 on his cap in silver, placing it next to the rainbow logo.

The verses describe God's promise to Noah and all future generations that he would never again destroy the earth with a flood, with the rainbow serving as the sign of that covenant.

What a horror!

I could understand some consternation if players were including the passage from Leviticus calling homosexuality a sin, but all they were doing was supplying an alternate justification for wearing the rainbow, noting that the rainbow was a promise from God.

They would wear the rainbow -- with the gloss that the rainbow they were celebrating was God's rainbow.

Acceptable? No! Tyrants must be obeyed!

The San Francisco Giants decided, "No, not only do you have to wear the Gay Rainbow, you also have to mean the Gay Rainbow means what we say it means. We will not allow you to pretend the Gay Rainbow is anything other than your personal affirmation of homosexuality. Reject your god and bow to the new gods."

But they're the good guys, right? Bullies and tyrants are always the good guys in history, right?

I keep noticing that they way favored political minorities say they want to be treated is not the way they treat minorities when they have the (temporary, limited) majority power.


...

Shortly thereafter, MLB issued a verbal warning advising players not to include Bible verses on their uniforms in the future, triggering a wave of conservative backlash, including legal scrutiny from elected officials and state attorneys general.

"The Civil Rights Act prohibits MLB and its franchises from unreasonably burdening the rights of players with religious objections to serving as the League's vehicle for pro-Pride messages," Assistant Attorney General Dhillon wrote in a letter to Manfred.

In a response to Hawley's scathing letter, Manfred appeared to deflect blame to the San Francisco Giants.

"Unfortunately, this year the Giants' communication with players was inadequate and not clear. Some players apparently did not understand that they had the option to wear their normal uniform and elected to add messages to their hats bearing the pride logo as a result," he explained. "After the game had concluded, my office issued a routine oral warning about the uniform policy violation -- unfortunately, it was issued before we became aware of the Giants' lapse in communication,"

In a win for the conservatives, the MLB vowed that no players would be punished for the Bible verses.

"The players were neither fined nor disciplined, nor will they ever be," Manfield said.

Fuck you. Strip their anti-trust immunity.

This is the problem with monopolies. You can't just tell these players "Find another league that doesn't force you to confess sinful messages contrary to your religion," because the monopoly guarantees there is no other league to join.

Oh, right:

Senator Scott Wiener
@Scott_Wiener

We’re not letting them hijack the Bible to "take back" the rainbow. The rainbow is about Pride. It’s about our beautiful LGBTQ community. And it’s about San Francisco beauty & joy.

Happy Pride!

Fuck you. We'll keep in mind your own rules about how the majority should treat a minority going forward. How about that?

When "we just want to get married" transitioned to "bake that cake bigot" pretty much every gay activist said of course we always wanted to start criminalizing dissent from celebrating homosexuality.

Its something "moderates" especially should have noted...

33 Attacking and doing serious damage to the MLB is a good move for populists. Stripping them of their special carveout makes sense anyway, and it's now the sport of the elites, so that's nice, too. It's an important cultural institution people think is untouchable. Punching them in the guts would be a display of aggression other companies can't ignore, and it would enrage the homosexuals and make them feel vulnerable for once.

I said it before and I'll say it again. End ALL the messaging on fricking pro sports uniforms. No pictures of your dog, no "Hi, mom," no Bible verses or Satanic verses, no not even a breast cancer ribbon (who can keep track of what color stands for which cause these days anyway) or anything besides the team logo. And if you want to open your yap about some political issue, do it in street clothes or pay a fine. Every job I've ever worked at instructs you not to speak publicly in your job capacity on damn near any topic.

Most of the business people these days seem to have been indoctrinated to think of people as consumers vs customers. A consumer does not have any choice- he consumes. A customer can take his business elsewhere or just not buy your product. They are retards.

That is half the reason for covid. The drug co.panies could eliminate choice from people buying their products (they thought.)

41 Another point in all this - back when gay marriage first started being discussed most gay activists opposed the idea - monogamy was for stupid bourgeoisie breeders.

Its only when the ability to use it as a political weapon started to be realized that the gay movement got on board with the idea.

And male homosexuals aren't monogamous now even when they do get married (lesbians are a different story, they don't have sex with anyone)

The theory I read somewhere is that different women have different things already, and also have different circumstances. So the one who already has money may be less impressed by ability to provide, while the one who lives in (or even just comes from) a bad neighborhood may need to feel physically protected. Of course, you can never really know for sure what's going on in someone else's head -- especially if she doesn't know herself -- but there are observable clues.

It may have been in How To Be The Man Women Want by Rory Miller, but I'm not sure.

58 Back when there was the big push to legalize gay marriage, there was a group called Beyond Marriage who openly admitted it wasn’t about the gays, it was about completely breaking the definition to include a variety of different relationships. The point was to get “marriage “ benefits for all sorts of couples/groups and eliminate what makes marriage special (nuclear family).

They had been organizing for over a decade before it was mainstreamed. Even gays said eh, it’s not important to get married for me as a gay person, the greater goal of obliterating the concept is what I want.

Democrats hate to see anybody but themselves in on the riches provided, but can't help themselves from being assholes and driving teams into suburban locations for stadiums, trading camps, etc. 11 of the 32 NFL teams are outside the cities they "represent".

Owners will submit to these commies, but there's a limit to to even what trust fund idiots will do.

End qualified immunity. Completely.

Force cops to have to INDIVIDUALLY carry liability insurance. Same as other professionals.

Too many claims and the insurance company will drop them. No insurance, no work. No ability to change departments.
Most cops go through their entire careers without being sued for civil rights violations.

Those that are legitimately sued?
There's no reason the city/citizens should have to pay for it.

120 It was a warning, not a fine or discipline. Performative religious outrage requires being victimized.

Why is it always the pitchers who won't wear pride patches? Is it something about that position that makes them most likely? 10 players in recent years and all were pitchers is statistically improbable.

Divas. Wide receivers of MLB Ohhh I have the ball in my hands a lot I'm important. Speaking balls in hand…could be a classic case of projection

pitchers are disproportionately (compared to position players) white Americans, which means they're more likely than position players to be evangelical Christians. That means they 1) feel safer expressing themselves and 2) often feel called by their faith to testify to their beliefs publicly.

A lot of down time and sitting/standing around during the game, in practice, when everyone else is taking BP, as a pitcher you have ample time to think, scheme, plot, and over analyze things

It's because they don't have to hit. Allows them to say whatever they want, knowing they won't be beaned for stupid stuff

Casting back to last thread, I think it’s pointless to blame either men or women. There's plenty of blame to go around. Out TV, movies, music, books, education, media etc. is an open sewer and now the judiciary is diving in off the high board. What to do about it I don't know other than to realize it's individual decisions by individual people which, I think, should be informed by religion. To quote the Police, "There is no political solution to our troubled evolution."

Baseball's antitrust exemption was one of a trifecta of awful, not good, just terrible rulings by Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr, one of the most overrated justices in our history.

It was ridiculously tortured "reasoning". Holmes opinioned that baseball was "personal activity", and therefore not interstate commerce. This was not and will not be applied to any other Big Sport Leagues.

In another ruling much later, they admitted, yeah this ruling was pretty an aberration, but punted the question to Congress, saying if Congress wants to break up the MLB monopoly by law, they can have it. They have so far not done that.

Look back at the signs, flyers and ads for Christain summer school day camps, bible classes, etc. etc. in the '50s and '60s -- v eryn ioften they depcited a rainbow. Still used in some churches to this day.

AND THEN, long after the rainbow was a confirmed Christian symbl, in 1970 sme gay dude sewed a flag with a rainbow design, and SUDDENLY the rainbow, is and always has been the exclusive property of homosexuals. Like, they have the trademark oin it.

172 Do you think we 'misunderstand' food labels?
---------
From July 1, food manufacturers and retailers across the Golden State will no longer be allowed to slap 'sell by' dates on most packaged foods sold to consumers, under a controversial new law aimed at tackling food waste and clearing up widespread confusion over expiration labels.

The shake-up, which will be felt across supermarket shelves statewide, effectively strips out a long list of familiar date markings that shoppers have relied on for years.

Instead of the confusing mix of phrases currently printed on packaging - including 'sell by,' 'freshest by' and 'expires on' - consumers will now see just two standard labels.

Products marked 'BEST if Used by' will refer to peak quality and flavor, while items labelled 'USE by' will indicate a hard food safety deadline.

State officials insist the change is designed to stop shoppers binning perfectly edible food simply because they misunderstand what date labels actually mean.

And, the bypasses that have been in place since the start of the active conflict are still going and being added onto as well.

Roughly 9 million of the 20 million barrels regularly out through the strait are going out through pipelines now. And that doesn't include the ship to ship transfers Oman is allowing in their waters to help the larger super tankers offload their supply (smaller ships take part of the load, go around Oman, and then refill other larger tankers, it's been happening for weeks).

“Socialism is a fairytale: perfect in theory, but horrible in practice and reality,” she told The College Fix in an interview.

“There is an appeal to destroy the United States from the inside out,” she said, adding that young people’s desire to make an impact has “been channeled in the wrong way.”

“If you want to be a victim, you can live in a socialist country like Venezuela. It has never worked,” she said.

271 I think the need for homosexuals to scream their perversions to everyone is the same impulse as women who "shout their abortions." They want to stick a finger in your eye because of their own failings, not because of your morality. It is the mark of the lack of humility of those who decry God or anyone else shaming them for deviating from civilized behavior.

The want the chaos, so long as it benefits their fragile little egos. They don't want to admit they could be wrong in their life choices. So, they shout to drown out anything that might prick their conscience.

Like toddlers.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Tuesday announced is seeking to fine an immigration attorney who allegedly filed false asylum claims -- the first time the agency has filed such a claim. Homeland Security Investigations, the investigative arm of the Department of Homeland Security, announced five notices of intent to fine attorney Vinod Doddamani, who they say filed 32 immigration cases in which he filed 64 fraudulent documents. Doddamani faces a $250,000 fine for what DHS says is a pattern of filing allegedly false asylum claims.

This is the end product of Protestantism. The same crap the current Pope is espousing. If anyone can decide what the Word of God "really" means, then it can mean anything at all, and tends to become rather self-serving.

I guess it is like handling snakes or writhing about during a church service. The notion that if it feels good it is from God, or some such nonsense. And don't get me started on the Prosperity Gospel, or the tele-evangelists who get rich from haranguing people.

That's annoying, for sure.

The sale is done legally, through a dealer, but also runs afoul of the monthly sales numbers (just capped this year at 3 sales per month, from the previous 5 per month).

The thing that really pisses me off is that Hollywood armorers are allowed to buy anything they want for their rental stable: off-roster pistols, "assault weapons" under the CA definition, NFA weapons etc. Those fuckers can use airsoft guns and CGI muzzle flashes like you see in current Steven Seagal movies.

Two More Leftwing Incels Charged In Planned UFC Mass Casualty Attack; Another Incel Kills Two People in Montreal

Maybe young working-age men shouldn't spend all day on the internet jacking off with a robotic vagina. Maybe that's not the way God or biology (or both) designed men to live their lives.

Maybe it does something insidious to your brain.


Just a thought.


Two new defendants charged in alleged White House UFC mass-casualty attack plot

Jordan W Rincker allegedly transferred a shotgun and funneled cash to co-defendants who planned to storm the White House


The FBI has identified two additional suspects in the alleged plot targeting the UFC Freedom 250 event in Washington, D.C., bringing the total number of publicly identified defendants to seven.

Newly unsealed court records identify Missouri resident Jordan W. Rincker and Washington state resident William Lee Spartacus Falkner as alleged members of the conspiracy. Prosecutors say Rincker allegedly helped fund and facilitate the operation, while Falkner allegedly discussed procuring and operating drones intended for use in the attack.

...

Falkner allegedly joined a Telegram chat devoted to drone operations June 7 and communicated with other alleged conspirators about drone procurement, tactics and the use of explosives, according to the Washington state complaint.

Prosecutors allege Falkner discussed obtaining multiple drones through a network of contacts and argued that "the more drones the better." Court records also allege he exchanged messages about drone payloads, anti-jamming measures, fiber optics controls and the number of drones needed to carry out the attack.

The complaint alleges Falkner claimed he could obtain drones capable of carrying heavy explosive payloads and discussed coordinating their acquisition with other members of the group.

...

The newly unsealed affidavit also suggests investigators were examining whether members of the group discussed a potential future attack targeting a FIFA World Cup match scheduled for July 3 in Kansas City, Missouri.

...

Prosecutors said the plotters met around March through a TikTok community known as "Vanguard of the Old" where participants shared workout videos and tactical content before moving to encrypted Signal chats.

TikTok, huh? Why does Trump permit China's propaganda/destabilization app to exist in the US? (It's banned in China!)

That's a rhetorical question. I know why: Because it's popular among the brainwashed, vacant-eyed youths and no one wants to incense the incels. A lot of the more disturbed losers threatened to literally kill themselves if TikTok were banned.

But sometimes, you have to bite the bullet.

Meanwhile, a similar nihilistic violence event actually came to fruition in Montreal.

Suspect 'neutralized' after Montreal shooting leaves at least 2 dead including officer



A suspected gunman has been neutralized by authorities following a Monday shooting in Montreal's Cote-des-Neiges neighborhood that left a police officer and a citizen dead


A gunman was "neutralized" Monday following a shooting in Montreal that left one police officer and one other person dead.

Authorities told Fox News that the shooting happened in the Cote-des-Neiges neighborhood of the city.

...

A male officer and a civilian died, he said. A female officer was injured and taken to a hospital in critical condition but was upgraded to stable condition.

Via Beege Wellborn at Hot Air, the incel left behind a manifesto attacking women and capitalism.

Montreal shooting: suspect left a manifesto attacking women and capitalism


The man, who drove from Alberta in recent days, espouses "incel" ideology


The man who opened fire in Montreal on Monday left behind a delusional manifesto in which he attacks, among other things, women and Western capitalist society.

"Be unwavering, move forward, and KILL THEM ALL!" wrote Seth Hatfield in the conclusion of his 104-page document. Police were meticulously analyzing the text on Monday, in the hours following the tragedy that left three people dead.

It is unclear whom the young man proposes killing. According to our sources, Hatfield drove from Alberta in recent days. Investigators believe he espouses an ideology aligned with that of "involuntary celibates," or "incels."

In his lengthy text, which our Investigative Bureau was able to review, he laments "the state of affairs regarding young people (roughly under the age of 30) living in highly developed Western countries."

He decries the plight of the majority of men, whom he calls "ordinary men." He contrasts them with a small number of "brutes"--men supposedly preferred by women due to their attractive physiques. The individual who donned a military uniform at the time of the act is nostalgic for a society founded on traditional values.

Although a lot of this incel's manifesto appears left-wing, you can also see some echoes of the Left-Right Fusion of the Extremes that Tuq'r Qarlson and Cavernous Nostrils are trying to create. (Tuq'r has been railing against capitalism and in favor of socialism for some time. This shouldn't be surprising -- Hitler attacked capitalism as a Jewish contrivance as well. I wonder if this is the "revolutionary violence" he called for in his New York Times interview, before showing his coward's stripe yet again and denouncing himself for having admitted that. Go to 0:48 for that.)

In a speech worthy of the Middle Ages, Hatfield lashes out in all directions. According to him, most women today engage in "frequent and cruel verbal abuse" toward men.

Among other unacceptable remarks, he claims they have also "abandoned all or most efforts to be attractive" -- not to mention the refusal of some to have children.

"For the average man, the closest thing to intimacy he is entitled to is usually watching internet pornography on his phone screen, in the darkness of his bedroom, late at night," he writes.

I didn't say anything about your hobbies, dude.

Another reason Canada is not a free country - the military is placed above the civil power. Their police are part of Canadian Forces. In the United States, as our police are not subject to the UCMJ, they are in fact civilians.

80 So I am dealing with a fairly recent scheduling SNAFU with a summer camp that I am attempting to resolve a bunch of scheduling conflicts with summer baseball for little.

I get on the phone with person to try to resolve refund or transfer process as a result of the scheduling SNAFU, and the person on the other line gets all defensive, talks over me, is highly combative, while I am mostly calm in the face of their claims as to being "confused" as to what I am calling about. (How about you listen rather than talk over me, chick.) I come to suspect that this person was responsible for the scheduling SNAFU in the first place.

So at the end of the process, the person 180 changes tune when they find out I am asking for something reasonable and ordinary (transfer one person for the paid person's registration). And we make the changes.

As I am typing up my closing thanks communication, it hits me like a ton of bricks in the closing signature of the person. "They/Them."

FML.

No wonder they cocked up the schedule so thoroughly, if they can't figure out basics like gender "identity."

I think it's tragic, but understandable. She's in a firefight. She just saw her partner get shot and die. She's hiding behind cover and suddenly a man appears above and behind her.

I'm not going to armchair quarterback her. Yeah, she maybe could have taken a moment longer to see if the guy was armed. But if that had been the shooter, taking that moment might have cost her life.

Yes, it cost a man his life. But sometimes bad things happen and it's just the way it is.

99 Incels are mentally ill, like this loser. I don't think it's really sexual at all. They're just nuts and "incel" is a nice trendy way to package it all up.

Think about it: on the one hand, an incel professes to be hetero and interested in girls and sex/relationships. Many actually claim to have pursued girls.

But the incel's motivation to get girls is completely -- and obviously -- undermined by the incel's total unwillingness to do anything that might make them more attractive to women.

They refuse to do anything to improve their appearance or social standing, and even go out of their way to look repulsive. Hell, they even deliberately develop terrible personalities.

Even ugly guys can get girls if they try. These incels are not only not trying, they're sabotaging themselves. I think they're all just fucked in the head.

Posted by: gp


HEre's the reality:

Prior to the 1960s, MOST unmarried men were incels. It was expected that most people didn't have sex until marriage.

Butno one wa filled with rage abut it, becaue it was the default way society was arranged and had always been arranged. Sure, it was frustrating -- but it was designed toi be frustrating, to induce npeople to get married, and continue the nuclear-family-0with-kids structure of covlization.

The Sexual Revolution changed all that, and now it was expected that you could (and should) have sex before marriage. Everybody was swingin' -- except for the passive/nerdy/awkward/ugly/whatever guys that chicks rejected. But 8nstead of thinking, "No big deal -- it;'s not just me wh doesn;'t get laid, MST guys dn't get laid," these guys now thought, "It's nt fair! Everyone's getting laid exceot me!" So the creation of a promiscuous society created a demographic of frustrated "involuntary celibates."

The solution, is to revert back to the milliennia-old way that society was structured, where people doen't feel like losers simply for being virgins.

For guys, even the most repulsive can either rent a woman for a night, or force an unwilling one.

For women... well, I'm told that there's no woman so ugly that some man won't sleep with her.

So if you're celibate, it's because you want to be, or it's because you're not willing to put forth the effort to not be.

And for the record: for the unmarried, celibacy is the better option. It's inexpensive and peaceful.
The loneliness sucks, but you're not going to fix that by screwing random strangers.

The problem stems from every woman under 45, down to and including Gorlock the Destroyer, being told that they're a Tampa strip club 10 rather than a 3 AM Waffle House zero. (I think that affirmation comes with the first bottle of SSRIs now). As a result they're completely uninterested in men who actually are in their league and they'll press charges if one looks at them.

Were there incels in my time? I don't know one, which does not say much but it's true. There were boys who probably felt mad about not dating but did not kill anyone (we are not including serial killers here, maybe Bundy was an incel, altho he had girlfriends).

There were, no doubt, boys who were rather ugly, with cystic acne, and weird fetishes. I did not notice, but I wouldn't have been mean to them unless they messed with me.

I think social media plays a part in all of this insanity. Then 24hr cable news promotes the martyrs. The porno does not help and is icky.

It's all a new world out there for weirdos who feel rejected and angry. And probably full of SSRI's and bong water.

Is there an island we can ship incels to? If found on telegraph or other social media outlets by the feds? In mother's basement, angry and lashing out in their flannel pants?

Include the trans-wanna-be weirdos as well. Put them on an island with six months of food, water, shelter in a Quonset hut. Books only, classics. No Internet or Funyuns. Let them sort it out. Return in six months to see who survives and if they've changed their minds.

People are beating around the bush, here. The beer people hit on it. The unreasonable expectations people hit on it.

The problem is one of proximity.

And that problem stems from living in the digital world over living in the material world.

In the 70s and 80s, every non working and school hour was spent alongside friends, cruising, drinking beer, partying, plotting conquests.

Nowadays, you can have an array of 6 teens, and every single one of them is on their phone, rarely speaking to each other, only interacting through their devices or about their devices and what's on their devices.

My oldest loses his phone as punishment and blossoms as a conversationalist with unreal confidence with the ladies. He's handsome, but damn if his game does not increase 1000 fold when he's not on his phone.

Yes. If your baseline standard is 6'2", $150K+ salary, and not in a relationship, you've already eliminated something like 98% of the dating pool. That's before you even get into things like shared values, intelligence, etc.

And the 2% (or less) they're focused on have lots of options.

As it's becoming a statistical coin flip(or worse) this is a lot of people.

To all appearances the main cause seems to be women being unwilling or uninterested in pairing off with people who are actually their peers. There also may be a bit of an urban/rural divide where women crowd into cities. Then there's the issue of women who are college educated in poor paying careers looking down on tradesmen. Elevated self-evaluation of attractiveness and social status essentially.

I am not certain but these claims of "old" MAY refer to something more ancient or may just be so named to give themselves legitimacy and weight.

Progressives certainly don't want progress, we've seen it a billion times. So it's a matter of whether you can even trust these people to tell you what they really think. The throughline regardless would be the "subversion" of modern existence.

I had brothers and lots of male friends from childhood through college. I played sports (tennis, basketball, swimming, shot pool) and partied and drank a lot of beer. I had fun and was not dating any of them. I know men as friends. Perhaps that is key?

There was also no social media putting scary stories about men so I was oblivious and could take care of myself. Or I had boys around me who wouldn't let anything happen to me at concerts or hiking.

It's not the Pythagorean theorem or a rule book. Or it wasn't in simpler times before dating apps and tic tok.

In Mass this past week I saw two handsome post college age men, alone. No wedding rings because I checked. If I had a daughter who was floundering around with insanity I'd send her to church vs a bar to meet people.

I will leave a letter to my granddaughters to not settle, to not follow the crowd, to remain special and content.

my daughter is shy. she's lovely and smart but she's not initiating anything! that leaves her out. guys don't initiate anymore (unless they're foreign, which has literally been her only dating success).

my sons don't initiate! they end up with very aggressive very social girls trying to date them and they don't match up!

it's a hot mess. plus here are the rules according to them:

- no dating at work (?!!!?? they would not exist!)
- no dating at basically any age disparity!!!
- no dating friends of friends or siblings of friends (why?!?!)

it's crazy

There aren't enough Christian Grays, except in smut books. The practical competition may well be more with fictional characters than the relatively small percentage of men pairing off with lots of women(who in turn appear to be from the same pool of more promiscuous women).


I was watching an episode of Whatever a while back and during the episode it came out all three of the more leftwing female guests were dating the same guy and supposedly did not know. Now did they really not know? Err...seems unlikely.

This is true but feminism has pathologized it.

In the past men would hit on single women in public places and presuming they weren't rude the expectation was the girl would give a face saving reason for no "sorry I have a boyfriend" if she wasn't interested

Now though? Approaching women is sexual harassment, whether you do it politely or not...well presuming you are not Tom Brady...

In the United States, approximately 30% of 30-year-olds are married. However, if you expand the scope to look at whether they have ever tied the knot, about 51% to 57% of adults by their early 30s have been married at least once.

There's plenty of blame to go around on this one.

The civilian was stupid. Never said a word, doesn't cut out diagonally away from the shooter, stays close to the barrier for no apparent reason (he had stood up, he wasn't trying to keep the planter between himself and the shooter).
Except for not being aware, the cop is blameless. I'm in the middle of a firefight and some clown pops up behind me, I'm going to cap his ass, too.

So Close to Pride Month? As Chicago Recovers From Bloody "Juneteenth" Violence Leaving Eight Dead and Thirty-Nine Shot, BlacKKK Mayor Brandon Johnson Changes the Topic and Babbles About Anti-Trans Violence That Barely Exists

It was another weekend of slaughter in the Lightworker's supposed home city.

8 dead, dozens hurt over holiday weekend in Chicago, including 14 shot during Juneteenth party



A 14-year-old boy was among the dead from gun violence over the long weekend, which also left nearly 40 people injured, catching the attention of President Donald Trump.

A 14-year-old boy was among eight people killed over the long holiday weekend that saw nearly 40 others wounded, including 14 people shot during a Juneteenth celebration on the Far South Side.

...

A mass shooting in Roseland happened Friday about 11:10 p.m. in the 200 block of West 95th Street as a large crowd gathered for the holiday. A red SUV drove by and two people inside opened fire, hitting the 14 victims, whose ages range from 17 to 47.

That shooting caught the attention of President Donald Trump, who posted on social media: "Lots of Killing going on in Chicago. 22 people shot, at least 4 Dead. Why isn't Governor Pritzker calling me for help."

Seven others were killed from Thursday at 5 p.m. until Monday at 5 a.m., according to officials. They include:

Christopher A. Lakes, 34, shot in Austin;
Aniyhas S. Jackson, 18, shot in Austin;
Craig Wright, 21, shot in Englewood;
A 37-year-old man shot in the 500 block of East 38th Street in Bronzeville;
A 33-year-old man shot in the 3000 block of West 30th Street in Little Village;
A 29-year-old man shot in the 11900 block of South Michigan Avenue in West Pullman;
A 32-year-old man shot in the 600 block of East 92nd Street in Chatham.

Other shootings wounded nearly 20 others in neighborhoods on the South and West sides, according to Chicago police.

Note that the "14 shot" mentioned there has greatly increased... to 39.

So another Red Weekend in a Blue City.

Why aren't billionaires paying more in taxes? And other questions to distract you from the literal Death Cult that is the Democrat Party.

Racist clown Brandon Johnson doesn't want to talk about this and certainly doesn't want to ask The White Man for help.

Instead, he wants to extend the "crisis" declaration regarding the non-trend of the non-word "transfemicide."

Transfemicide.

Lunatics make up their own languages in the asylums, don't they?

Chicago mayor ridiculed for touting trans violence 'state of emergency' amid murder-plagued Juneteenth weekend


The mayor's office reupped the 2024 "Transfemicide State of Emergency," drawing mockery from commentators online


Chicago's mayor has become the subject of ridicule after promoting his transgender violence state of emergency amid a deadly Juneteenth weekend where dozens of people in his city were shot and six were killed.

"Since declaring a Transfemicide State of Emergency, our administration has strengthened the City's capacity to support LGBTQ+ Chicagoans," a Sunday X post from Mayor Brandon Johnson said. "This framework builds on that work by centering the voices and lived experiences of trans Chicagoans to chart a path toward a safer, more connected city."

How about the mass shootings in Chicago? Anything, you low-IQ incompetent DEI disaster?

"Transfemicide" is defined as the "targeted killing of a transgender woman motivated by transphobic and misogynistic hatred." Critics were quick to point out that Johnson appears focused on promoting on Juneteenth weekend the fight against an obscure transgender violence category rather than the killing of black Chicagoans.

Critics point out the obvious.


A report on the subject suggests that violence against transgender women, particularly black, indigenous people of color (BIPOC) transgender women, is endemic in Chicago.

But the report does not mention how many transgender women have been killed in the city, and admittedly includes suicides in the "transfemicide" category despite the term's definition.

Online critics lambasted Johnson for focusing his administration's energy on the transgender issue, and many noted that the timing of the post coincided with a weekend where 39 people were shot and six killed while the city celebrated Juneteenth.

"Nobody knows what a 'Transfemicide State of Emergency' is," said Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, on X. "This is what the Mayor of Chicago is focused on."

...

"Everyone is dunking on this but I think it's NICE that Mayor Johnson finally found a type of murder he doesn't like. Baby steps," said X personality Jarvis Best.

Despite the lies of activists who claim that there's some ever-increasing trend of people murdering trannies, the actual truth is that, despite so many trannies working in the incredibly dangerous sex industry, transgenders experience violence at lower rates than the rest of the population.

They claim otherwise to "center" themselves in the discussion, always.

Hello! I hope everyone and their families are feeling good and healthy on this Tuesday afternoon.

Mayor Johnson is a dick. He's even worse than that lesbian mutant he replaced. How bad will the next mayor be?

30 They voted for him and in doing so voted for this as their future.

I wonder- how far do you play politics as a team sport? At what point do you decide that a terrible idea? After your kids lying in the morgue? After your family member has been assaulted? When your kid “graduates” high school with no way to make their future better? After he’s been fully separated from God and becomes a ward of the state?

At what point?

There is nothing but hopelessness and diabolical, selfish intent in the Blue States. No future. No brighter day.

48 If you care about the future of our country then you have to care about this. You can’t control it, but you cannot forget your empathy for the people who are its victims. It is both deliberate and born of ignorance. Some march on lock step fully aware of the consequences and uncaring of where that leads others. They are the most insidious. But there is also a great deal of predation on the ignorant, who only learn the consequences when it’s too late. Pray for them, that they might find the truth and the way.

There was this girl a few years ago. Go-go dancer, hot but psycho. Total party girl. Red flags erupting all over the place like Mount Vesuvius. I shoulda let her be. But I decided to roll the dice on the Hot-crazy Matrix.

It was very fun for a while, IYKWIM. But then ... disaster!!

I got out easy, all things considered. Just a near OD on my couch. I have an yuge Egyptian tapestry hanging on my wall. One night she staggers in at like 2 am. She was like "oooh, are those blue eggs on the wall?" I was like "huh?" The tapestry is red and has no eggs. Her: "oooooh, I see. Not blue eggs." I sighed a sigh of relief. "They're elephant heads!"

She then collapsed on the couch like she was dead. It was a long night. Then a few weeks later some "boyfriend" somehow gets my number and starts hounding me.

82 Like NY, Chicago and Illinois in general depends on teachers unions, and other taxpayer blood sucking groups to stay in office. They gain a share of the largess by voting for buffoons like this mayor. It repeats itself every cycle and so long as the unions keep getting a better paycheck and benefits courtesy of the politicians looting the taxpayers, they keep voting. The walls could crumble around them but as long as that unwritten payoff continues they vote the same way. It is a recipe for destruction and disaster we are watching in real time.

Does it? I think a lot is like "gay bashing," which was actually punks rolling chumps for their money, and it just happened that the ones out in parks after midnight were gay men cruising for sex.

There was a specific case I remember reading about, it was even in Chicago, where a black man who was a tranny prostitute was hanging out on a Chicago sidewalk (IIRC after 2AM) when four other black men drove up in a beater, got out, grabbed his purse, he fought back, they shot him, and he died. I expect that's actually the more typical gangster-on-tranny violence.

There was a specific case I remember reading about, it was even in Chicago, where a black man who was a tranny prostitute was hanging out on a Chicago sidewalk (IIRC after 2AM) when four other black men drove up in a beater, got out, grabbed his purse, he fought back, they shot him, and he died. I expect that's actually the more typical gangster-on-tranny violence.

I was thinking of a murder in Dallas about 4 years ago - the details of the killings vary . But the Left has tried making an issue of this before, and what always derails the attempt is that when you look into it closely, almost all of the killings fall under the heading of “Black on Black crime”.

And the left acts like Dracula seeing a cross whenever that term comes up.

Some groups, ethnic-political-national, if I say they are doing it to themselves and they only invited mass murder on their own heads I get invited to go to Stormfront. Others if I say they are doing it to themselves and invited mass murder on their heads I get thumbs up emojis and high fives.

I must be autistic, I don't understand the subtle nuances here. I guess I should be quiet and let those who are competent tell me how to think.

198 Cissoids would rather kill themselves than have a trans kid. Work was slow so we played would you rather. My cis female coworker says “would you rather a murderer child or a tranny child?”. Guess what every one of them chose?

“At least if they’re a murderer it could be a good reason, if they’re trans I’d murder them myself. Or I’d kill myself. There’s no coming back if your kid turns into a trans, you have to start fully over”

Never tell anyone you’re trans under any circumstances. Even the “allies” in the group laughed.

It's an insane take even if trans people were just crazy crossdressers. Imagine having your child die only to have some tard chud go like "I can relate. My son wears dresses now".

Same people who call themselves “followers of Christ” yet they would kill their own kid for being trans.

I heard the WHO is despairing over the failure of contract tracing in Dem Rep of the Congo during this current Ebola system. A mere 40% of the patients' contacts have been traced and it is causing a failure to do . . .

And to be honest, this is the DRC in a civil war, where most of the population consider hospitals a place to go to die and they don't quite have the concept of germ theory internalized, so I am not exactly sure what the WHO thinks what benefit 100% contract tracing would accomplish

When they believe (or assume) you're a lib, they talk like this and say the most deranged hateful shit about people and "groups". Women, blacks, Asians, Hispanics. Criminals, lowlifes, children. They talk about them all, usually ending in a solution that involves mass executions and/or forced sterilization.

The Morning Rant

punk-monkey.jpg

Colorblind..Colorblind...COLORBLIND!

What is so complicated about the thoroughly obvious concept that a nation cannot long survive if it sees race as a defining characteristic of its citizens?

Extrapolate that to ethnicity and religion and sexual proclivity and eventually the absolute insanity of recognizing psychiatric illness (transsexualism), and we have the current situation in much of the Western world! And how are we doing? Not well. Not well at all!

Cops could be forced into race-based guessing game after Supreme Court move, Thomas joins dissent

Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas on Monday dissented from the Supreme Court’s refusal to take up a case that they said forces police officers to create a separate set of rules for racial minorities.

"It is dangerous to allow an individual to be treated differently based on statistics, studies, or expert testimony that purports to show that members of the racial or ethnic group to which he belongs are more likely to act in a certain way than are members of other groups," Alito wrote on behalf of himself and Thomas. "Here, the special treatment helped the individual; in other situations it will not."

The case, U.S. v. Donte J. Carter, involved a Black man whose firearm and theft convictions were vacated after the D.C. Court of Appeals held that police seized him before they had reasonable suspicion. Officers later recovered a .40-caliber pistol from Carter’s pants and the government said the gun had been stolen from an FBI agent’s vehicle.


Read Alito's dissent for a rational destruction of this pathetic decision.

I understand why the two retards and the reliable leftist voted for racial preference. And the new chick just wants to be in the club. And I understand that the chief justice is a wind vane without any philosophical foundation. But Gorsuch and Cavanaugh? I thought they had brains!

This is a depressing bellwether of the court, and we should expect more of this sort of post-modern horror. The Constitution is clear about this question, and we fought a military civil war and a cultural civil war to end exactly what the court seems to be approving. This is a dangerous precedent that will have repercussions far beyond the criminal. Are we going to return to affirmative action? Because this seems suspiciously like that catastrophic foray into inequality! Maybe this time it will be explicit!

Imagine a world in which blacks or any minority are allowed even greater leeway to break the law because of some cultural norm. That won't end well, and it may very well bring about wholesale changes in the way all Americans respond to law enforcement or, for that matter, any government action.

And based on this decision, my hope for a ban on anchor babies just went up in smoke.

Yuck!

Remember a week ago when a Howard "professor" (of journalism, natch) insisted that Austin Metcalf got what he deserved, and that white America needed to learn that black kids have "boundaries"; boundaries which apparently justify stabbing someone in the heart. She was making precisely the argument described in the quoted paragraph. She will not like where that ends up.

31 Stupid decision by the DCCA (shocker) but it's standard practice for the SC to pass on cert until there's at least some real conflict among the circuits. Usually even one idiotic precedent in a lone circuit won't be enough. That's this situation here.

The most insane thing about this entire case is the utterly delusional finding by the DCCA that "Black men are more likely to comply with police demands rather than exercise their constitutional right to terminate a suspicionless police encounter."

Are they out of their fucking skulls? The biggest problem in the black community -- especially the criminal element -- is that they DON'T comply with reasonable police demands.

The other thing that's idiotic is that it's crystal clear from the facts of the case that this was a gang-banger. Any cop with a functioning brain would have known that.

32 Most stable democratic countries in the history of the world were able to remain stable because they were made up of only one ethnicity.

Multi-ethnic empires can work with an authoritarian ruler.

The United States cannot be the United States with an authoritarian ruler.

Our country can only work if all the people see themselves (and their fellow citizens) as citizens who happen to have different colored skin.

A country needs a unified people. When it becomes fighting between factions, you get the same result as all the other dying empires.

Which is what the left wants. They think they will build a utopia after killing the greatest nation the world has ever had.

40 This is a statement made by Abraham Lincoln during the 4th Lincoln-Douglas debate:
While I was at the hotel to-day an elderly gentleman called upon me to know whether I was really in favor of producing a perfect equality between the negroes and white people. [Great laughter.] While I had not proposed to myself on this occasion to say much on that subject, yet as the question was asked me I thought I would occupy perhaps five minutes in saying something in regard to it. I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races, [applause]—that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will for ever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality.

All the voices of black people justifying the murder at the track meet in Texas will just make people believe that you cannot be safe in the presence of unknown black people.

Most of these people are too stupid to understand the implications and consequences of convincing the majority of the country that your entire race is ready to explode at the slightest provocation.

But the purpose is for both arguments to develop and then distill into a fact set that SCOTUS can then turn into a single constitutional question. The downside is of course that liberals have used that as a scheme to deny people their constitutional rights. I think the real scandal lies in the 2A cases, especially the rifle and magazine bans which flout the constitution and even now have a circuit split. That’s years of denying the citizens a key right in the Bill of Rights and has measurable negative consequences.

65 Breaking news: NBC News, Supreme Court rules against Rastafarian man over religious rights claim against prison officials, Published June 23, 2026

Supreme Court rules against Rastafarian man over religious rights claim against prison officials
Officials at a Louisiana prison cut off Damon Landor's dreadlocks in violation of his religious beliefs. The case centered on whether he could seek damages.

In part, Writing for the majority, conservative Justice Neil Gorsuch said that RLUIPA, which applies to any local prison that accepts any federal funding, does not allow for claims against individual officials.

The only way the suit could go forward would be if the officials had consented to face liability under the federal law, and they had not, Gorsuch added.

“Mr. Landor’s case cannot proceed against them any more than a breach of contract action might proceed against a defendant who never formed a contract,” he wrote.

In dissent, liberal Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson said the entire purpose of RLUIPA is to “ensure that state and local prisons respect prisoners’ right to religious exercise.”

"Here, the special treatment helped the individual; in other situations it will not."

93 76.

Justice Jackson's RLUIPA statement was made in a dissent regarding a Rastafarian inmate who was denied the right to sue for monetary damages. On the Supreme Court, she has supported religious exercise claims based on statutory text, but she frequently parts ways with the conservative majority on matters balancing these rights with anti-discrimination laws.

In a major decision concerning a graphic designer who sought to refuse web services for same-sex weddings, Justice Jackson joined a dissent stating that the Court's ruling unconstitutionally granted businesses the right to discriminate against protected groups based on sincere religious beliefs.

She questioned the arguments of a conservative Christian therapist and the Alliance Defending Freedom in a case challenging state bans on conversion therapy for minors, suggesting that state medical regulations on professional conduct should not be undermined by First Amendment challenges.

Even before joining the Supreme Court, while serving as a federal judge, she allowed the religious discrimination lawsuit of a Christian Postal Service employee to proceed. (Gospel music on-the-job.)

There's precedent in the DC circuit that a factor in determining whether a seizure has taken place is "whether an objective and reasonable person sharing the defendant's generalized lived experiences arising out of their racial status" would have felt free to terminate the police encounter.

So this doesn't change anything. The SC has been ignoring this precedent for years. Alito and Thomas seem to want to finally consider it.

125 It's in the workplace already. Any reprimand of a black employee requires you go through hoops with HR to do it and it is usually not as severe as a non black employee would receive. This is based on first hand experience.

If all crows in a specific area were to disappear, the local ecosystem undergoes significant shifts as other species fill the vacant niche. Scavengers like raccoons, opossums, rats, and seagulls would experience a population explosion due to the reduced competition for carrion and garbage, leading to more roadkill and waste left on roads.

158 I don't expect any of the 'rons to pay attention to Canada, but this is pretty much the Gladue precedent we have in Canada. All natives are presumed to have been traumatized by being native in Canada, and so sentencing, legal defenses, etc. put them in a completely different (privileged) legal class.

Now, technically, they _are_ a different legal class. Technically they're Wards of the Crown and not Canadian citizens. Which is the root of much of the problem.

167 "There's precedent in the DC circuit that a factor in determining whether a seizure has taken place is "whether an objective and reasonable person sharing the defendant's generalized lived experiences arising out of their racial status" would have felt free to terminate the police encounter."

Does that mean that certain selected groups are entitled, if they think a cop is hassling them, or maybe if they just aren't in the mood that day, they can simply walk away from a police encounter?

And is the penumbra that if the cop takes exception and stops the "termination", the group member can enforce specialized "boundaries" and shoot the cop? And if the cop tries to physically continue the "police encounter", they have a cell in the Chauvin Wing waiting?

All seriousness aside, and as much as I often find images and interesting things to comment on with abstract artworks, this one has . . . very little. There are occasional hints of color, but then long threads or strands are rather off-putting. Perhaps that was Pollock's intention.

176 A day of two ago, we were discussing the negative impact of radical gays, especially Ts, on the general acceptance of gays and gay marriage. This article by a gay author explores that, and why the radical types are actually hurting gays. Here's the money quote:

If your goal is building lasting support for gay people, you might want to listen when gay people tell you you’re hurting the cause. But if your goal is merely virtue signaling to your fellow progressives, then gay people questioning you poses a threat.

If you actually care about gay people and building or maintaining support for gay marriage, you’ll want to avoid unnecessarily polarizing people. You’ll want to build bridges, not burn them.

But many activists are more concerned with appearing to care about gay people than actually caring about gay people.

The thing about virtue signaling is there’s nothing virtuous about it. It’s deeply self-absorbed. It’s all about you and your status among your peer group.

"Multicultural" sounds a lot better than "immigrant rape invasion". If you followed the link, you found this.

France: At Least 145 Injected in Syringe Attacks During Multicultural Music Festival
. . . .
The festivities were also once again the site of numerous “evening bites”, a trend in which people are surreptitiously stabbed with syringes full of date rape drugs. According to Le Parisien, dozens of women came forward claiming to have been attacked in such a manner.

While often associated with rape or sexual assault at music venues or nightclubs, the practice has also been tied to other crimes, such as theft. Indeed, one of the identified victims on Sunday evening was a man who said that he was stung near the Place de la République by a man who “was walking around with syringes on his belt”.

Allen: That's quite a lovely Jackson Pollock, isn't it?

Woman: Yes, it is.

Allen: What does it say to you?

Woman: It restates the negativeness of the universe. The hideous lonely emptiness of existence. Nothingness. The predicament of man forced to live in a barren, godless eternity like a tiny flame flickering in an immense void with nothing but waste, horror, and degradation, forming a useless, bleak straitjacket in a black, absurd cosmos.

Allen: What are you doing Saturday night?

Woman: Committing suicide.

Allen: What about Friday night?

Has anyone asked that lemon-sucking commie cocksucker Ed Harris what the thinks about the Pollock/CIA revelations, considering that one of his most celebrated roles was as Pollock in the biopic?

Great actor, plays lots of grizzled manly men on-screen but the man himself is a lot like the sandaled poofter hippie he plays in The Truman Show. Plus, he's a dick. When Elia Kazan got his honorary Oscar, Harris and his shriveled harridan wife stood there in silence with frowns on their faces like if Zombie Johnny Carson had walked up and shoved handfuls of dog shit in their faces. At least the rest of Hollywood politely clapped, despite hating Kazan's guts for naming names to HUAC. I think even Tim Robbins held his nose and unenthusiastically clapped like Patton in front of the Soviet generals.

That's against a wider backdrop of what I have said since 2016 when the scope of the russian collusion fraud came to light: Trump is a speedbump and nothing is stopping the war that is coming. All these asshat judges only reinforce that belief.

We've expelled, what, maybe 2-3 million at best of Biden's invasion? Killing USAID is great but all this is really accomplishing domestically is giving us more time to prepare. And internationally the manufacturing we got back will help a bit. Better to have Trump than not but it's not enough

The black plastic 50s-70s era frames weren't TOO bad. Especially when retro styles started to become popular. The "stylish" tortoise frames in the 80s and beyond were just some stupid ring-knocker officer intentionally trying to make his troops look like they'd been gelded before being released to walk among normal people in the wild.

It's the lined chaos that appeals to me. I look at Pollack's paintings as a representation of everything that's going on in the world.....and then I imagine a little red circle placed somewhere on it with the (mental) caption "and this is all that the media talk about."

The Morning Report — 6/ 23 /26

Morning Report intro.jpg

Good morning kids. Early Doctor's appointment so away we go,...

Yet again, the utter corruption of the judiciary takes center stage with two horrendous examples of tyranny that continue to pull at the already frayed threads of our society and system.


A federal judge blocked Department of Justice (DOJ) subpoenas of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) and other Democrats in the state, which the DOJ had issued to investigate the link between Somali corruption and local politics. . . The George W. Bush-appointed chief judge said Trump’s repeated attacks and promises of “retribution” against Walz, a Democrat, and other Minnesota officials “establishes beyond reasonable dispute” that the grand jury subpoenas — issued at the height of ICE’s Operation Metro Surge — “were a part of a broader campaign to coerce state and local officials in Minnesota to assist the Trump administration in its enforcement of immigration laws.”


Probably the greatest case of political corruption in American history, a minimum of $9 billion dollars swindled from the Minnesota state treasury as well as the US treasury and direct and indirect links to Walz, Frey and the state's Democrat Party. And this hack shuts it down. Well at least he's a Bush appointee which means, yay Bipartisanship! Meh, what it means is that he's likely in on the grift along with Walz, Frey and every other crooked pol.

Moving on to the next glittering jewel of graft and thuggery, also with the secondary and not unimportant theme of our completely insane immigration system, we have this jackboot to the groin:

Judge Sparkle Sooknanan (yes, that’s her actual name) the daughter of immigrants from Trinidad is a Biden appointee who has militantly engaged in judicial activism on issues involving foreign nationals in the United States is at it again, this time ruling that the federal government was forbidden to verify the citizenship of voters because it violates their privacy. Has she ever heard of the IRS?
“All in all, the federal government has knowingly trampled on the privacy rights of American citizens in a manner that threatens the sacred right to vote. This Court cannot stand idly by while that happens,” Sooknanan falsely claimed.
The only people whose voting rights are threatened are those who should not be voting because they’re non-citizens. Much as Judge Sparkle should not only not be on the bench, but shouldn’t be allowed within a thousand feet of a gavel or a courthouse.
Voting isn’t threatened by citizenship verification, it’s threatened by those ineligible to vote who are voting and those who ineligible being counted in censuses and having those numbers used to allocate districts.
Judge Sparkle Sooknanan isn’t the ‘court’, she has no authority to intervene here, only an ideological mandate to protect the corrupt system that made her.

First of all, anyone named Sparkle is unfit to be a judge, except in a drag competition. But that aside, a leftist hack foreigner placed as she was by Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants Biden with the sole purpose of holding the doors open for third world invaders to flood in, among other things that advances the Democrat/Leftist agenda at the expense of Americans, Americanism and to tear all that down to grease the wheels of the LLeftist counter-American revolution.

Yes there is of course the personal element of attacking Trump personally by shredding his policies but the real goal is destroying America as founded and seizing absolute power. Trump has been the first real leader to stand in their way at least for now thwart their malign intentions as well as hopefully open the eyes of Americans everywhere to that danger and win over hearts and minds. And so, the assassination attempts, the shampeachments, the lawfare and the treasonous insubordination in the Judiciary and the bureaucracy and stolen elections.

Speaking of which:

Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) called on Senate Republicans to work with President Donald Trump and advance the SAVE America Act, urging lawmakers in a Monday social media post to “hit the ground running” as Congress returns to Washington. . . According to Scott’s proposal, Republicans should focus on preventing another government shutdown and passing the SAVE America Act, legislation that would require proof of citizenship when registering to vote

Obviously the Democrats will never support legislation that prevents them from rigging elections, but worse the Quislings of the Grifting Oleaginous Parasite GOP like Thune, Murkowski et al will be right there to sabotage this to preserve, protect and defend their roles as confederates for pay.

God bless Rick Scott but I don't think this has a snowball's chance.

Well, regardless of what Douglas Adam’s might think, I’m quite adjusted to how big the Universe is.

I just always view the distances of the things in the universe to how distant in years they are from earth.

Proxima Centauri is 4 years in time away from us.

The exo-planet Tau Bootis is 50 years in time away from us.

The edge of the galaxy is 200m years in time away from us.

And so on.

And then I relate that time with what was happening on earth.

>>The universe may well be infinite in extent. Wrap your head around that!

Infinity is a concept, and it's a concept within mathematics.

A foundational concept in Calculus is f of (x) as (x) approaches infinity.

So, I mean, understanding infinity is not really difficult.

Let's try an example of a limit function equation.


We will call this the Rush Patience equation.

Let P(t) represent your wife's remaining patience (in percentage) as you spend t minutes explaining why Neil Peart is the greatest drummer of all time.

The Rush Patience Equation: P(t) = (100 / t) + 21.12

P(t) = (100 / t) + 21.12, where P(t) is your wife's remaining patience percentage after you spend t minutes explaining why Neil Peart's drum kit needs 40 pieces.

The Limit at Infinity Expression: lim_{t -> oo} ((100 / t) + 21.12) = 21.12

lim_{t -> oo} ((100 / t) + 21.12) = 21.12, meaning as your breakdown of the "2112" suite approaches infinity, her patience drops to a permanent horizontal asymptote of 21.12% out of pure respect for Canadian prog-rock.

The way that sociopaths work is to outsource blame. Biden's Auto Pen couldn't launch ICBMs. Rather, sociopaths invoke their genocide through arm's length mechanisms to avoid accountability. Think: CoViD-19

77 It would require a 2/3 majority in the Senate willing to impeach Judges to do something about this, or a Supreme Court willing to exert far more control than this one has shown.

While the Supreme Court can reverse lower court decisions, it does not have direct administrative control over individual judges' daily proceedings, relying instead on the appellate process to correct legal errors.

SCOTUS has no means to control district judges. That's up to the Senate, and Democrats will never discipline one of their own.

He sent them billions in the dead of night to fund their terrorism AND nuclear ambitions. He did nothing to curb them. He pushed them.

125 Ah, perhaps our most risible legal fiction cooked up during the collapse of the republic - the "Trump Suspects This Man" standard, where if Trump says, as the nation's top law enforcer, that he suspects you are guilty of a crime, then it is prima facie evidence that you are innocent.

It can be used at any point in a legal proceeding, it's so versatile. In this case, it can be used to stop an investigation... why investigate? Trump said he suspects Walz. So Walz is innocent. Case closed.

But that's a weak tea application of the standard, quite frankly. It can even be used to release a convicted criminal years after being convicted under a different President, simply because Trump says he *dislikes* the criminal - it voids all prior proceedings, since it is now obvious that he's actually innocent, as happened with Bradley Manning.

I hope one day to see another, much more evenhanded standard applied - the YD standard, where if you ever wore a black robe to work even for one day, you get knouted within an inch of your life and then die in a pit full of rape dogs.

Any 'Bush' judge in Minnesota is, and has always been, a Democrat.

Usually Presidents just try and pick the least egregious of a list given to them by the Senators.

But your mileage obviously varies and I have to desire to argue about it .

157 From chatgpt…

In a vacuum, light travels at exactly:

299,792,458 m/s (about 300,000 km/s)

This value is often denoted by c.

When light enters a medium, it interacts with the atoms and electromagnetic fields in that material. The light is repeatedly absorbed and re-emitted (more accurately, its electromagnetic wave interacts with the material’s electrons), which causes the wave to propagate more slowly overall.

Posted by: LinusVanPelt at June 23, 2026 08:34 AM (38yk/)

158 TeeJ

The speed of light in a vacuum is exactly 299,792,458 meters per second (m/s). This is by definition, as the distance that light travels in a second is now the International standard for distance (via defining the length of a meter).

So the length of a meter has changed from two marks on a bar to this new definition.

178 Background for Judge Sooknanan. She is from the Woke Democrat Federal Judge Casting Center.

Judge Sparkle L. Sooknanan was appointed to the District Court in January 2025. Born in Trinidad and Tobago, she received her B.S., summa cum laude, from St. Francis College in 2002, her M.B.A., with distinction, from Hofstra University in 2003, and her J.D., summa cum laude, from Brooklyn Law School in 2010.

After law school, Judge Sooknanan clerked for Federal Judge Eric N. Vitaliano and Guido Calabresi. Following those clerkships, Judge Sooknanan joined the United States Department of Justice, where she served on the Civil Division’s Appellate Staff. She left that position to clerk for Sonia Sotomayor on the United States Supreme Court.

In 2014, Judge Sooknanan joined the Washington, D.C. office of Jones Day, where she had an active pro bono practice. She became a partner at Jones Day in 2020.

In 2021, Judge Sooknanan returned to the Justice Department as a Deputy Associate Attorney General, where she served until 2023. She then served as the Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General in the Civil Rights Division until her appointment to the bench.

190 - Don Black

186+ miles per second is what "they" use as an accepted convention. But the way they get there is just an assumption. It works in the equations,,, but it's not the only speed that works.

What they have done is taken the measured two way speed of light in a vacuum and divided that by two.
What also works is something along the line of the speed of light coming directly towards you is infinity and going away is something like half that.
That latter, view I'll call it, is referred to as the Anisitropic Syncrony Convention.
The guy who came up with it is the one who correctly predicted what the JWST would show us.
Among other things.

Yesterday was a bad day for judicial tyranny. One judge stoping the test program to stop benefits for junk food and soda, another voiding the subpoenas against Walz et al for fraud and then you have the foreign born judge blocking the government from using its own database to stop illegal aliens from voting. Hopefully the Supreme Court will hand down some good decisions today.

Yes his argument that with communism gone major historical events were over and the less free parts of the world would slowly move towards pluralistic democracy.

This was right as Islamism started taking hold in the middle east, as Europe started moving towards technocratic feudalism, as China started doubling down on fascism, and as Putin came to power in Russia.

Yes. I read the initial essay by him that formed the basis for his later joke of a book in Foreign Affairs, alongside the essay underlying Clash of Civilizations by Huntington. Same issue. I read them and said "well this Fukuyama guy is full of shit, and Huntington is likely right - something must fill this power vacuum, and it ain't gonna be some global utopia, because that's not how people are."

I would have been in middle school at that time.

Now, my mom always says I was born 50 years old, but still - there's no excuse for anyone serious to believe this kind of nonsense. It was stupid 100 years ago, and it's 2x as stupid today. The 20th century conclusively proved all of this wrong.

Woman who was never a slave: "How do you expect us to live normal lives after slavery?!"

I cannot think of a single people group that has not been subjected to slavery in their past. So maybe just live a normal life after slavery like everyone else.

I have slaves (some mulatos from Mehico!) and slave owners (Mexico and US) in my ancestry. So one day I took a $100 bill from my right pocket, handed it to my left hand, and put it in my left pocket. Reparations done!

294 Hillzabub still struggles to destroy the Republic, despite advancing age and an impossibly high A1C. "Eliminate the Electoral College" is just another way to underscore the dominance of communists in large blue cities, and extend their control to inland rural communities. It is the exact opposite of "democracy" in result.

298 The story that should be told about slavery:

It is older then recorded history
More slaves were taken from Africa to the Middle East then to the New World and the reason you don't see black people there today is the Muslim countries routinely killed and sterilized its slaves
The Muslim world took millions of slaves from Europe as well, placing a high value on Caucasian women as sex slaves
The US inherited slavery from Britain, but all the colonial powers practiced it
Slavery ended in most of the western world because a group of "far right Christianists" crusaded against it in Britain, France, and the US.
Slavery still exists in many non-western countries like China.

322 NEW: The DEA permitted hundreds of thousands of fentanyl pills to hit the streets of New Mexico in bid to build prosecutions

“We poisoned our community to make cases,” DEA Agent David Howell tells @AP

“We 100% got people killed”

Posted by: SMOD at June 23, 2026 10:37 AM (RHGPo)

323 'Morning, all. Thank you, J.J.

We can't even have uniformity regarding the U.S. passport landscape.

The State Department banned nonprofit libraries from processing passports because of "strict federal laws governing financial auditing and administrative authority."
Why? The Fee Rule Change. Under Title 22 of the Code of Federal Regulations, the $35 execution fee must go directly into the treasury of a public entity or state/local government. The State Department rules that private nonprofits keeping this fee as revenue violates federal fiscal regulations.

Public libraries in California are operated by city/county departments & special public districts. They're 100% exempt from the State Department ban. Minnesota libraries are also county/municipal joint-powers government so they're also 100% exempt.

New York public libraries are half public district, half private nonprofits therefore "banning" is split; NYC and Association branches are banned.

Pennsylvania's has a majority of private 503(c)(3) nonprofits (associations), all banned. However, municipal branches - tied to a city, town or village government - are public and can process passports.

Posted by: L - No nic, another fine day at June 23, 2026 10:45 AM (NFX2v)

324 So as nonprofit libraries across the nation were 'forced' to cease serving as passport acceptance facilities on Feb. 13th, they lost a big income source - acceptance and photo fees.

The public hue and cry: By keeping passport services at local libraries, families - especially in rural or underserved areas - avoid traveling long distances or taking time off work to visit government offices.

As a 'remedy,' both the House and Senate have introduced bills to keep passport services at non-profit libraries, as they're being deprived of funds to support staff salaries, operating costs and community programs. (The libraries not Congress, I think. 🤷‍♀️

Of course the legislation has received backing from the American Library Association - a Registered Nonprofit - which advocates public libraries regardless of status - must maintain the ability to offer this essential service.

And with states such as Cali and MN having all public libraries under government control, how do oaths and threats of auditing keep their administrations in line given those states' histories?

Another interesting line of citizens' I.D.s v. voting rights has entered the mix.

Good day 🤗

Another Biden administration initiative!
--
New Mexico is slated to receive approximately $884 million over 15 years from national opioid settlements. This money is split 50/50 between the state and local governments, and is legally required to be used directly for opioid-related remediation, which heavily focuses on fentanyl and synthetic opioid crises.

Primary Uses of Settlement Money:
Localities (such as Bernalillo County) have launched campaigns—including enhancements to resources like the keepNMalive website—to warn the public about fentanyl dangers.

A large portion of the recovery funds is used to increase access to naloxone (Narcan), expand childcare assistance programs, increase housing vouchers, and expand Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT).

Portions of the funding have been directed toward addiction treatments for incarcerated individuals.

Round & round states go, searching for the next big corporate settlement.

35 $1049 for the 512GB or $1349 for the 2TB Steam Machine is *whew!*, and that's without the controller, which is $69 extra.

My guess for the 512 was $949, so I was close.

Valve picked the wrong time to make these.
If they'd done it in 2023 or '24 (when the CPU/GPU were new) instead of during the RAMpocolypse, they could've had a hit at say $749 for the 512GB.

If Valve keeps it going for a few more years and gets to a Steam Machine 2 they could maybe get the price down and compete with the PlayStation 6 which will probably start at $899 or so.

44 As a sign of being over 29, I picked up my new glasses yesterday. They are bifocals, and while the distance part is fine -- I can see distant signs and read the closed-captioning on TV much more sharply -- the central "bifocal" parts have to go. I have reading glasses for that. The bifocal portions disturb me far too much while driving.

The close-work portions are close to the center of the lenses. I thought bifocals were supposed to have those at the bottom?

57 "Canada is planning a nuclear renaissance with ten new reactors to be built by 2040 at a cost of $100 billion."

1) It's an article by the CBC, a media organization funded to the tune of $1.1B CDN a year by the government. It's a propaganda mouthpiece. You can believe exactly zero of what it says.

2) Carney has a lot of "plans" but little to no motion on them. Whatever money goes into his projects will end up in politicians' pockets, and won't make to to the projects which will just quietly disappear without investigations as to why. There won't be any new nuclear reactors. The projects might make it to "completed concrete slabs" - just long enough for the public to see a lot of construction so they're convinced, and then they go back to their lives and forget and it stops.

3) It's Canada. More and more things slowly degrade and break. Our roads and bridges are a good clue that something is seriously wrong. Our prices for everything are far too high.

Simply put: We don't generate enough actual wealth, and our governments keep deficit-spending every year, devaluing our dollar more and more.

Expansive welfare states may be theoretically commendable, but we're beginning to see two phenomena that place limits on them. The first is the amount of fraud around them. It's nobody's money and so the public purse is considered free for looting. To question fraud is to evoke horrified cries of heartlessness.

The second is that welfare programs come from taxes and taxes come from economically profitable activities. While the US public debt is alarmingly large, there's the potential here for innovation and growth that can sustain it. The UK and Europe are no longer innovative, aren't growing and aren't likely to. And I'd be hard pressed to name a dominant Canadian industry outside of extractables.

These are not progressive, at least I don't think so. The staff described classic "line" bifocals, and offered the alternative of "no-line," which I guess are the progressive ones. I tried the latter on and was not wowed. "Line" is what I have, and that central bifocal part is what I don't like.

I only started using reading glasses a couple of years ago, so wearing some for driving is new to me.

"It was 60 miles to go buy groceries. When you got in the car to go someplace, it was an event." Ron Gordon

*****

Short and simple ONT this evening. No whining or excuses as we routinely receive on Friday evenings. It's summer and there are fish to catch. Not ONTs to write.

I'm somewhat confused. Perhaps Jack Straw can explain this to us. Smoking grass just might help your memory issues. No, seriously.

Could smoking weed protect your aging brain? A study recently highlighted by The Washington Post suggests it might.

Led by the Salk Institute, the work focused on a cannabinoid called cannabinol, which is a byproduct of THC, the active ingredient in pot responsible for its psychoactive effects.

In experiments using human brain cell cultures and animal cells, the researchers found that cannabinol appeared to protect neurons against oxidative stress, a pernicious form of biological wear and tear that leads to cell death. Oxidative stress is considered a critical factor in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s.

Hey if the Affordable Care Act Obamacare is available for taxpayers like us. Then these sluts and whores should have to pay their own.

Gov. Kathy Hochul has quietly extended a pilot program providing free healthcare to sex workers – with taxpayers footing the nearly $2.5 million bill.

The state Health Department in 2023 awarded $1 million in public funds to two contractors as part of Hochul’s plan to help the “world’s oldest profession,” but new documents reviewed by The Post show the program extending through June 2028, with $1.5 million more in costs.

Under the initiative, sex workers in NYC and the Buffalo area will continue to receive primary, sexual, behavioral, and dental care.

Once again government rewards incorrect decisions upon the checkbooks of those who did the right things.

42 I can't believe I never knew this, but Vidal Sassoon was a legit hard ass motherfucker.

I figured him for a homo, because European hairdresser. WRONG. Total skirt chaser.

Aside from that, he was born into grinding London poverty. Then his no good sonofabitch dad abandoned the family, and his mom had to put him and his six siblings in an orphanage for seven years, til he was eleven. No sooner did she spring him, than the war broke out and he got carted off to the country til he was 14 and returned to the city to be a courier in the underground shelters.

After the war, he joined a Jewish street gang and battled BNP fascists, until going to Israel at 20 and fighting against the Egyptians in the War for Independence.

Only then did he find his calling as an international hairdresser and connoisseur of fine chicks.

48 Just from casual experience of a couple college roommates who overindulged in "smokable herbs"; It did indeed effect their memories...but not in a positive way.

I suppose staring at a spider on the ceiling while sporting an idiot's grin for twenty minutes without blinking isn't hurting anyone. But, I don't think it's going to help you remember where you left your car keys.

It was beautifully written, in letter form, and unfolded into three short pages celebrating our bond.

Thankfully there was more yellow than blank, barely.

Wikipedia, In his memoir Palimpsest (1995), Vidal wrote, "My birth certificate says 'Eugene Louis Vidal': this was changed to Eugene Luther Vidal Jr.; then Gore was added at my christening in 1939; then, at fourteen, I got rid of the first two names."[6]: 401

...During a high-level meeting in Tel Aviv with Somaliland’s visiting president, Israeli officials confirmed that Israel is now directly involved in training the breakaway region's military and police.

"For many years, we cooperated under the radar in a series of operations that will remain classified. Now we are determined to bring our security cooperation to new heights, for the benefit of both peoples and for the benefit of stability in the region," Katz said.

151 So, being 29 my hearing is very poor- not just a bit degraded.

I'm at the local branch library here in NorCal looking for a book its a small single level building. I hear a loud bang. Maybe a metal shelf dropped onto vinyl flooring? Then a second bang. Fleeting glimpse. It's a maniac with a shotgun. 5-7 shots; now can't see him.Then silence. I peek down the long isle. Shotgun on the floor. Walk over. No one about. Look to the right a man is lying on his back, walk over, he's shot in the face. Very little blood, a tiny smear. He's likely 70-75. I DO NOT LOOK CLOSELY at him. I look up to the left and armed cops are looking at me through double doors. Hands on head, walk out. They search me. I think two killed, maybe a child.

Not really freaked out, dunno why. I'm glad I didn't look too closely.

"But it’s not action against Thames Water [utility company] for dumping billions of litres of sewage in the Roding, or the waste criminals who have dumped thousands of tonnes of rubbish on its banks, but against the River Roding Trust for… restoring a river without a permit."

Yeah, they like it polluted and want to keep it that way, serf. How dare you do anything that would improve things.

WFB successfully sued Vidal & Esquire magazine for libel, bc Vidal had written an article, published in Esquire, accusing Buckley and his brother of setting a synagogue on fire when the Buckleys were teenagers.

208 Volunteer Under Investigation for Cleaning Polluted River Without a License, Faces Two Years in Prison
"The section of the river which was cleared is really coming back beautifully, wildlife is returning, yet we are being threatened with prosecution."


The Euro-nik claim is he did it because he really wanted to dreg the river since he lived there.

I went over to read about this on reddit and this was the most common theory, followed by "he did it to make Britain look bad since obviously there isn't any trash in our rivers".

Well, I spent the 30 seconds to find the place on google maps and...yep...there is plenty of trash around the river. Now, I can't say for certain he didn't trick a bunch of gullible fools to remove the silt from a river for him to make his house boat (supposedly) look nicer and he is an environmental lawyer so he likely is a scum bag, but I'm pretty sure the guy isn't a sekret MAGA agent as reddit seems to think.

To answer my own question, nope, not closely related, though they apparently joked about being cousins over the years.

Vidal's grandfather was Senator Thomas Pryor Gore, D-OK, while Al Gore was the son of Rep. Al Gore, Sr., D-TN.

224 Sanger became unpopular among the site’s most prolific editors for making public calls for those whose viewpoints have typically been underrepresented — Hindus prominently, but also, most pointedly, American conservatives — to be more involved. The exact reason for his blocking was not given.

I suspect the smarter leftwinger are finally realizing they f'd up.

A society run by a bunch of Rick Santorums or Pat Robertsons would be a *lot* freer then one ran by the current wiki/reddit/Dem types. And they is from a leftwing perspective but using the traditional notion of freedom they claimed to believe in.

And to finish the point MAGA as Trump, Vance, DeSantis, or Rubio are no Santorums...

A moose in my little part of Soviet Fairfax County would liven things up. There were some zebras galloping around MD last year. Never heard if they got captured or not. They wouldn't have survived the winter.

280 Our old doggo would follow hubs everywhere. So one day he was out in the shop and dog went in after him.. We'd had a mouse problem out there, even though no foodstuffs in the shop, and had set a few traps.

Poor doggo went snuffing around and sure enough
*SNAP!*
*YIPE!*
And she went running out of the shop. She was ok, not injured, got her snoot snapped and it startled her.
I was about a year before she'd set foot in the shop again, though.

There never seems to be just one. If you find one, there always seems to be another. I had to wage war one year in the garage of the old house. I saw one, put out traps. I see a mouse in a trap the next day. I looked at it, and something ate part of it. I said to Mrs B, we're gonna need a bigger trap. The next day there was another mouse, and it was also eaten, and then another. Someone here mentioned mice are known to eat their dead. I think I caught 5 or 6, and the last one wasn't eaten, so he was a cannibal. Smart bastard too obviously. He just hung out eating his neighbors until they were gone, because after him I didn't catch anymore.

301 I finished the exhaust pipe work on the Buick. Hung a dummy tailpipe on the left side to match the working one on the right side.

Did a little more "winnowing" in the shop. Scrapped out 3 old heater fan motors that were non-working. Copper for the copper pail. Then I rendered out two old starters, one big fat one (that was really bad inside) from a 6.2 Diesel Chevy, and one from a Vauxhall. More copper for the copper pail. I have maybe up to a dozen other old starters and generators worthy of scrapping, so I could get some good coin for the copper content.

I'm at the local branch library here in NorCal looking for a book its a small single level building. I hear a loud bang. Maybe a metal shelf dropped onto vinyl flooring? Then a second bang. Fleeting glimpse. It's a maniac with a shotgun. 5-7 shots; now can't see him.Then silence. I peek down the long isle. Shotgun on the floor. Walk over. No one about. Look to the right a man is lying on his back, walk over, he's shot in the face. Very little blood, a tiny smear. He's likely 70-75. I DO NOT LOOK CLOSELY at him. I look up to the left and armed cops are looking at me through double doors. Hands on head, walk out. They search me. I think two killed, maybe a child.

By the way, there haven't been a lot of crow updates because the crows have been scarce lately. I don't know why. I've been putting out food. I put out a lot of food today when a single crow came by, but she flew away. But a couple hours later all the food was gone (cheese and ham), so I assume they got it.

I didn't see Cooper's interview with Carlson, and I won't be seeing it.

A while back, I *tried* listening to his series on Jonestown, because the topic is very interesting to me... It was one of the stupider "histories" of anything I've heard, and somehow also stultifyingly boring, which is tough to pull off when discussing the Peoples Temple.

Darryl Cooper has a knack for weaving in a LOT of content about Darryl Cooper in the weirdest, most hamhanded ways. The history of Jonestown is about Jim Jones and San Francisco, and syncretic Christianity, and cult brainwashing, and race, and Leftist politics, but mostly about Darryl Cooper, you see?

I made it through maybe about 4 episodes and gave the fuck up.

No, I disagree. Cooper is a history commentator, at best, and has no legitimate credentials to call himself an "historian."

We don't have noisy bugs at night either, but the sound was nearly deafening in St. Louis. Cicadas, crickets, all that crap.

And dark at night, when it's hot out.

Having an opinion about proven fact, that negates that proven fact, is not being a historian. It is being an ass with an agenda. See, for instance, Muslims who claim the Holocaust never happened. Of course, they take being an ass to the absolute outer limit, but any "historian" who claims the facts are wrong is an ass.

127 "Critical thinking is a thing."

Avoiding logical fallacies is a thing, and ad hominem is one of them:
"X is an asshole, therefore every proposition put forth by X is false."

IMHO, a proposition should be evaluated on its own merits, independent of the identity of the proposer. If Hitler told me 2+2=4, I would not rule it automatically false.

129 Macaroni is a particular kind of pasta: the elbow kind, but sometimes straight. Used for macaroni salad, or once upon a time macaroni pie. Also Mac and cheese.

Posted by: NemoMeImpuneLacessit at June 22, 2026 08:30 PM (075ei)

When you're italian its all macaroni. I would hear my grandmother- "I make-a da macaroni", and you never knew what it would be. Could be ziti, could be penne, or rigatoni, etc. Spaghetti was spaghetti, everything else was macaroni. To this frigging day I really don't know what pasta is which or what most of them are called.

I would agree on matters that are empirically true. We have centuries of evidence that 2+2=4.

But when Hitler starts telling you the Jews are controlling the world yet they also stay in the shitiest neighborhood on the planet for their secret lair it would seem to make sense to consider the source as part of your decision tree.

159 An observation about historians from DU:

"It has long been axiomatic among historians that when opposing forces come into conflict ...

the side being led by the superior intellect will generally prevail.

That is why Julius Caesar defeated Pompey, why George Washington defeated Mad King George, Abraham Lincoln bested Jefferson Davis, FDR and Churchill overcame Hitler, JFK faced down Khrushchev, and Ho Chi Minh vanquished Richard Nixon.

But it was not until today that the immutable truth of that simple adage has been proven indisputably correct, now and forever more, in a cataclysmic battle wherein Donald Trump was humbled by ...

Hang tight.

In terms of intellect, Lincoln vs. Davis is debatable, though he wasn't facing Davis. He was a political leader facing generals in a war, and largely left that part to his generals. He had his own truly horrible political problems to contend with.

FDR was a facile, totally unremarkable intellect facing off against a more intelligent madman. Churchill was smarter by an order of magnitude than Roosevelt, though.

JFK and Khrushchev, I'll call a wash - but Khrushchev was certainly shrewder than him.

Ho Chi Minh was on his way to the Reaper by the time of Nixon's election, and in his cold embrace within a year, leaving him to face off against Vo Nguyen Giap, and neither of those two were dummies.

My grandmother could make bread but I never saw her do it. Her friend had literally started a bread business a few doors down and had brick ovens in her yard, and eventually had the front of the house converted to a store front. She only lived a few houses away and my grandmother would go and help her, and would make the bread in the brick oven and just brought it home. I guess the choice was easy, make it at home in a gas oven, or go a few doors down to the brick ovens. The brick oven wins.

199 168 How was USAID created ...
Posted by: Sierra Foxtrot

Research & reading on your free time is suggested, but - .

President John F. Kennedy established the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) on November 3, 1961, by signing the Foreign Assistance Act and issuing Executive Order 10973.

The creation of the agency consolidated several disparate foreign aid efforts under one unified organization.

It was explicitly created to counter Soviet and Communist influence in developing nations by using economic soft power to promote growth and democracy.

The order merged predecessor entities—including the International Cooperation Administration, the Development Loan Fund, and the Food for Peace Program—to increase administrative efficiency and reduce bureaucracy.

USAID was formally codified as an independent federal establishment reporting to the Secretary of State under the Foreign Affairs Reform and Restructuring Act.

In 2025, the administration substantially restructured foreign assistance, resulting in the cancellation of many USAID programs and the shifting of remaining functions to the US State Department.

True. But Mike Benz will. Censorship is biggest issue and he's been doing incredible work over the last few years in his writings, lectures, podcasts, etc. laying out in great detail the worldwide censorship machine we have been living under for years. And NGOs were a crucial part of it.

In the skit, Ackroyd had a radio call-in show... but he couldn't get anybody to call in. So, he kept saying more and more outrageous things, but he STILL couldn't get anyone to call in.

Maybe that's why The Hodgetwins decided to go with David Duke.

Tucker Carlson says he is done with the GOP: "How could I support a party that puts the interests of a foreign country above its own citizens? I have been a consistent defender of the Republican party for 35 years, but there is no defending this. I'm out."

From Axios:

What they are saying: "I'm out," Carlson said on an episode of the "Can't Be Censored" podcast that aired last Thursday but gained traction online Monday.

"And if I'm out, then I think a lot of other people are out."

"I would not support the Republican Party. There's no chance I would support the Republican Party," Carlson said, adding that the GOP has "betrayed" voters by prioritizing Israel's national security over America's.

"How could I or any American voter support a political party that's not loyal to the United States. That puts the interests of a foreign country above those of its own citizens. It's not possible to vote for people like that, and I'm not going to."

Zoom in: Carlson says he's been a fierce defender of the GOP for 35 years, but can no longer do so.

He says he also won't support Democrats and is unsure how he'll vote moving forward.

He's pretending he's leaving. No, we threw your fat Nazi Hunter-Biden-loving ass out.

And I do mean that he's a Nazi. He has called for "violent" revolution (before claiming he never meant to say that). He is attempting to lead a violent overthrow of the US system in order to usher in a new white supremacist concept of the country.

Now I don't like the system any more than you do, but I do not want it challenged by violent revolutionaries led by this fat alcoholic grifter mental patient. I feel like Dirty Harry Callahan having to explain to the four rogue motorcycle cops that just because I hate scumbags doesn't mean I want to murder people in the streets.

JD Vance's efforts to appease the Tucker Carlson Bloc turn out to have been not just wrongheaded and unamerican, but foolish and futile. You can't appease a Nazi and you can't appease a brain-damaged lunatic.

And his new claims are that Al Qaeda didn't do 9/11.

Who did 9/11, then? You know who. Carlson hints that it's Israel but won't say so because he wants plausible deniability.

He also says that Israel killed Charlie Kirk.

Well, what he says is this: He denies that Kirk was killed by the gay furry lover for "transgenderism," and then declares he was killed over "his evolving views on Israel."

Which itself is a lie -- Kirk's views didn't evolve. When Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson kept badgering him to support Hamas' mission to destroy Israel, Kirk eventually gave them a noncommittal response like "Yeah I don't know if Israel should be knocking down buildings over terrorist attacks."

Which these lunatics took not as what it was -- him attempting to defang these lunatics trying to turn TPUSA into a Nazi organization -- but as a deeply-felt, deeply-considered Heel Turn on Israel. (And Kirk continued supporting Israel and denouncing the animals of Hamas until the day he died.)

But now he's saying that Kirk definitely, really turned on Israel and unnamed persons -- who, I wonder? -- shot him over this turn.

Again, this coward wants plausible deniability for what he's plainly implying but too much of a slithering pussy to say straight.

What a fucking disaster of a "man."

Oh, and he also says that Gerald Platner didn't even know about his Nazi tattoo and the only people claiming he did are filthy treasonous Israelis.

Justin

As expected, Tucker Carlson has rushed to Graham Platner's defense.

He claims Platner didn't even know about his Nazi tattoo, and insists the real reason people are attacking him is because he's "not sufficiently supportive of Israel."


I think Tuq'r sees that his grifting potential on the right is very low now. Last week, Me-Again Kelly, who has repeatedly told the Republican Party "f*** you" when we asked her to please do what she promised to do at TPUSA and "protect" Erika Kirk, now says that we all need to unify to fight the left.

We have to join with Me-Again you guys.

Sounds like her ad revenue is taking a hit, too.

Told ya that Tucker would leave the Republicans and Megyn would come back to Trump.

For now Tucker will say he isn't a Dem, but watch his guests and topics, they will only be pro Dem and anti Republican.

His goal is to split the Republicans and usher in National Socialism...

Biden tried to block the release of the audio recordings of his "well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory" interviews with special counsel Robert Hur, as well as the interviews he did with his autobiographer. He claims he has a privacy interest in the DOJ interviews and would suffer irreparable reputational damage if they were released.

A judge denied his request to spare him further humiliation and continue the Biden Cover-Up.

Besides the obvious - wanting to establish just how hopelessly pudding-brained the former president was by the stage he was being quizzed by Hur - the Heritage Foundation sued under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to get access to tapes of conversations Biden had with the ghostwriter for his biography to further investigate the claims that Biden had mishandled classified information. The recordings POTATUS made with his ghostwriter are all circa 2016-2017, years before his election.


...The dispute over Biden's discussions stems from a Freedom of Information Act request that the Heritage Foundation filed in March 2024. The group sought records that former special counsel Robert Hur relied on to write specific portions of his report on Biden's handling of sensitive government records, which included passages referring to the former president's recorded conversations with Zwonitzer in 2016 and 2017.

The interviews were used for Biden's 2017 memoir, "Promise Me, Dad."

Hur's report referenced the former president's "diminished faculties and faulty memory" shown in Zwonitzer's recordings, and called Biden's recorded conversations with his ghostwriter "painfully slow, with Mr. Biden struggling to remember events and straining at times to read and relay his own notebook entries."


They might well shed light on the basement campaign strategy, too.


Schumer shrieks that any verification of the voter rolls could remove 25 million "voters" from the lists!


Eric Daugherty
@EricLDaugh

🚨 HOLY CRAP. Sen. Chuck Schumer just sounded the alarm that the SAVE America Act will REMOVE "25 MILLION PEOPLE" from the voter rolls

Keep in mind, the bill is for voter ID and proof of citizenship

If true, that means 25 MILLION people are illegals or not eligible citizens without ID! 🤯

Chuck is either making crap up or HE KNOWS THERE ARE 25 MILLION ILLEGALS VOTING

Which is it, Chuck? PASS THE SAVE AMERICA ACT!

Boy, blocking ineligible foreign invaders from voting could really hurt the Democrat Party!

Don't worry about it -- a foreign invader Biden appointed to be a judge will stop anyone from verifying the voter rolls.

Nick Sortor
@nicksortor

🚨 BREAKING: Foreign-born Biden judge Sparkle Sooknanan (yeah, that's her actual name) has just BARRED the Trump admin from checking citizenship data for voters, per AP

Democrats are TERRIFIED about illegals no longer being able to vote

The federal government was using a federal database to PURGE ILLEGAL VOTERS. And a judge just put a stop to that.

Insanity. Bring it all the way up to SCOTUS!

SCOTUS Wire
@scotus_wire

🚨 Judge Sparkle Sooknanan has struck down the Trump administration's expanded SAVE voter-verification system, ruling that federal agencies unlawfully created a centralized database containing Social Security and citizenship data to facilitate mass voter verification.

The foreigner making sure her illegal alien cousins can vote says that voters have a "right to privacy" that shields them from having their identities and citizenship verified when voting in United States elections.

By the way: She's actually a citizen of Trinidad and Tobago. She was naturalized under Obama as a US citizenship, but when she was asked in her Senate questionnaire if she would renounce that citizenship if made a judge, she said she would if the law requires it. Which it doesn't (insanely).

So she is in fact a foreigner.

Robert Gouvela argues that she lied at least twice in her Senate confirmation hearings and therefore can be impeached and removed for "high crimes and misdemeanors."

And definitely, we mustn't check to see if people driving on our highways are citizens or can read simple road signs. (That's from June 1.)


The New York Times' "Fathers Day" piece is written by a "trans man" -- that is, a mentally ill woman -- who says that her child has no problem with the idea that her daddy used to have breasts.

They cannot stop using children to advance their cause. I think their idea is that children's minds are open and pure, and so if a child accepts that a man is a woman and a woman is a man, closed-minded, tainted adults should accept it too.

And yes, children's minds are "open" -- meaning untutored and easily swayed -- and "pure," meaning untouched by corruption and the evil of the world.

Children make for good recruits not because they know the truth but because they are easily bullied by agenda-driven adults in positions of power over them, like "teachers" and even "fathers."

And this is a determined trend at the NYT. Almost all of their pieces on "fatherhood" depict fathers as abusive monsters.


Meanwhile, the NYT features pieces about women who abandoned their husbands and children to "find themselves" and showers them with praise for their "bravery."

If financial "disclosures" by Ilhan "Omar" can go from $25 million to zero in a month, then what good are financial "disclosures"?

31 What powers do we have against these stupid rogue judges? Seriously. It feels like they get in and then have tenure the rest of their judgeship to do whatever.

I will say, though, there was a law being changed in Utah to make voter rolls more transparent, and it didn't sound good. What it was supposedly going to do was publicly post your full name and current address on a public database. I suppose so others can verify voter rolls? But supposedly it was going to doxx everyone's info, not just for voting officials but for everyone, publicly. So that means if you have an abusive ex or stalker, they could hunt you down and find you. I had a bunch of friends freaking out about their past abusive husbands or exes coming to find them.

So, maybe not that. But any attempts to actually prove people live where, they say they live, for the sake of fair elections, always gets trounced by dems in the end, and that needs to stop.

Toni McBride, nicknamed “Top Shot” for her sharpshooting skills, can face a lawsuit from the family of Daniel Hernandez, who approached her with a boxcutter after a car wreck in downtown LA on April 22, 2020 — Supreme Court justices ruled Monday.

Hernandez’ 18-year-old daughter, Melanie Hernandez, filed her wrongful-death suit against gun model McBride on July 10, 2020, about a month after the LAPD released shocking footage of the fatal shooting from McBride’s bodycam.

From yesterday:
A tragic multi-vehicle crash hit the 210 Freeway in Irwindale this weekend. A jackknifed semi crossed the divider, killing a 58-year-old woman and injuring 32 others, including children.

The driver has been identified as 21-year-old Jashanpreet Singh from Yuba City. He was arrested on suspicion of DUI.

85 I'll still listen to Brett Cooper's takes on pop culture sometimes, she helps me stay up to date on the Gen Z world and drama. But the more she avoids and ignores talking about how one of her supposed podcast besties, Candace, is going full on psycho, is weird. And especially after Kirk's assassination, when Candace went all in on the Joooos did it, and her rabid flounce into antisemitism.

I will happily drop any pundit in the podcast/youtube/influencer space when they reveal they are a lizard person in a conservative skin suit; I owe none of them any allegiances. It's sad, but thanks for the memories. Unfollowed. I feel like the only two I still follow on a regular basis are Larry Elder and Dave Rubin. And even then, if they mess up royally and betray my trust, like everyone else, I'll forgive them, sure, but the unfollow button is still there.

And of course, I'm grateful for this place, even though I have mostly been a drive-by lurker lately. Life events happened and punched me in the face.

Well having a judiciary that requires not being partisan on the honor system and then can only be removed with bi-partisan action is obviously a big loophole. A loophole that gets exploited when one side is out to win and the other side is made up of weak minded cucks. The whole thing is entirely untenable.

107 Its Fathers Day. Im a trans-woman and parent. Im confused and upside down. My 8 year old son calls me “daddy”. He always has. I dont know if Im comfortable with it now.

My egg cracked a few weeks before his conception and so my wife, seeing her chance for a baby disappearing and fuelled by suicidal ideation, forced me to conceive with her. Im still somewhat damaged by the experience.

it took me a long time to discover and explore who I was and how I related to womanhood. But while all that was going on, we referred to mum as “mummy” and me as “daddy”. Of course, it stuck. We always taught him that “daddy is a girl” and he is perfectly fine with that. But as far as he is concerned, Im his daddy and the more time passes, the more noticeable my discomfort is becoming to me.

Being “mum” doesn’t feel right either. I feel like a woman with an asterisk: a fraud? Plausible femininity at best.

I hate fathers day. We both try celebrating mothers day but its like im intruding on her birthday. The day is for her. Fathers day is for me. Thats what I did. That was my…contribution despite the self loathing, trauma, and tears.

Run away and live your best life felching dogs or whatever gross shit you're into.

You'll be much happier than pretending at fatherhood, and your kids and poor, beleaguered wife will be much better off with a clean break now, than suffering whatever misery you visit upon them later, as your madness progresses.

He's gay and the idea of screwing his own wife just didn't appeal to him, but she threatened him into doing his marital duty.

A while back i *tried* listening to his series on Jonestown., because the topic is very interesting to me... It was one of the stupider "histories" of anything I've heard, and somehow also stultifyingly boring, which is tough to pull off when discussing the Peoples Temple.

Cooper has a knack for weaving in a LOT of content about Darryl Cooper in the weirdest, most hamhanded ways. The history of Jonestown is about Jim Jones and San Francisco, and syncretic Christianity, and cult brainwashing, and race, and Leftist politics, but mostly about Darryl Cooper, you see?

228 Ace, this comment is very late but I want to thank you for the Tuq'r news and other snark as I love it!

I have been busy watching youtubes of people from all over the world loving the USA because of the World Cup.

I don't watch soccer but love the fans and they love the USA. All aspects from food, to our college stadiums, marching bands, patriotism, flags flying, and singing our National Anthem loudly.

We take all of this for granted. Not the love of the USA, but the freedoms and happiness.

What a fantastic and unexpected (for me) gift to us right before our 250th Birthday!

Hundreds of thousands of fans will go back to their countries and tell them they are being lied to by the media, that the USA is grand and they love it!

I have hope and prayer that some will see what it's like and want it for their countries, while it will be hard, I have hope and prayers.

We take America for granted, the freedoms and prosperity. The food. The appliances. The fact that we are not jailed for memes or political snark.

Remember, though, in our thoughts during the Obungo Error, in the camps I have a corner bunk near the A/C. Just in case anyone forgot, as I called dibs a long time ago.

Ro Khanna, Attempting to Appeal to the Antifa Left for His Presidential Run, Begins the Assassination Prep Machine Against Elon Musk

Foreign disruptor Ro Khanna says Musk "needs to answer" for "sentencing 4.5 million children to death" with DOGE cuts.

He says this as the left is shooting all of their hate objects and cheering on the assassins.

Elon Musk 'needs to answer' for 4.5M kids 'sentenced to death' over DOGE cuts, Ro Khanna argues

By Lindsay Kornick, Fox News

Khanna suggested that the Democratic Party take initiative to hold Musk accountable if they were to regain control over the House of Representatives or the Senate.

"I do believe once we take power, there needs to be accountability," Khanna said on the "I've Had It" podcast. "There needs to be accountability for Elon Musk. You know, they're celebrating that he created 4,400 millionaires, but they don't talk about the 4.5 million children around the world who he possibly sentenced to death by dismantling USAID."

Khanna continued, "He needs to answer for that. He needs to be subpoenaed. He needs to face investigation. He needs to answer for what he did with DOGE [Department of Government Efficiency]. It's not just 'let's move on.'"

Host Jennifer Welch agreed with the idea of investigating Musk, claiming that he was responsible for "killing" millions through DOGE's government spending cuts.

Elon Musk
@elonmusk

3h

Absolutely. This is a total lie.

All DOGE did was require contact with the aid recipients to confirm that funds were being used legitimately. Anything less than this is insane!

Multiple people from USAID have been charged by the Justice Department with stealing money.

Moreover, they pled GUILTY!!

C3
@C_3C_3

They're trying to do to Elon what they did to POTUS Trump.

And Charlie Kirk.

Poison the minds of mentally unstable people with lies.

The goal is to get the unstable to act out violently.

The Left knows exactly what they're doing.

Ro knows exactly what he's doing.

Must stop.

For his part, Musk is calling Ro Khanna "the Robber" due to his being among the most egregious in Congress making day trades based on insider information:

DogeDesigner
@cb_doge
BREAKING: Elon Musk calls out Ro Khanna as his household wealth reportedly grew from roughly $27--46 million to an estimated $232.7 million.

631 million total trade volume across 38,666 trades since entering Congress, most prolific Democratic trader in House history.

2022 investigation found 15% overlap between his legislative work and family stock holdings

Ro Khanna's AI-focused trades returned +112.1% excess over the S&P 500 from January 2024 through April 2026, far beating Nancy Pelosi's +38.5% outperformance.

143% return on Nvidia shares bought via wife's trust in Feb 2024, right before CHIPS Act helped double the stock

Ro 'the Robber' Khanna seems to be the most active insider trader in Congress.

The real reason the foreign communist operatives are upset by USAID cuts are, of course,

1, USAID was how they were funneling millions to themselves, their family members, their staffers, and their donors (in payback for the donation),

and, 2, USAID money was used to prop up communist governments in the third world and destabilize non-communist ones.

Without the dirty communist State/CIA slush fund, communist governments are falling in South America.

Colombians went to the polls for their presidential run-off election yesterday.

Fourteen hours or so ago, the Washington Post had a worm on its tongue and was waiting with baited, horrified breath for what looked to be one of the remaining Leftist South American dominoes to fall to, as they love to call it, 'the Trump-back hard-right-wing.'

[CUE: terrified woman's cream...or soyboy's]

You know - the law and order guys who are tired of cartels and communists


A pro-Trump wave has swept Latin America. Colombia appears to be next.

Abelardo de la Espriella, a far-right firebrand, won at least 49.6 percent of the vote, according to an initial count, beating leftist Iván Cepeda by less than a percentage point.

In one Latin American election after another, President Donald Trump has gotten exactly what he wanted.

Right-wing, pro-Trump candidates have defeated leftists across the region, as the Trump administration has pursued the most aggressive U.S. intervention in Central and South America in decades.

And on Sunday night, a Trump-endorsed outsider appeared headed for a victory in Colombia's presidential election. Abelardo de la Espriella, a far-right firebrand, won at least 49.6 percent of the vote, according to an initial count, beating leftist Iván Cepeda by less than a percentage point.

Colombian President Gustavo Petro, a Cepeda ally, has not recognized a winner, and said a formal ballot review process would determine the final results.

If the results hold, de la Espriella could be an ideal partner in Trump's lethal war against alleged drug traffickers on land and at sea. An ostentatious criminal defense lawyer who has never held public office, de la Espriella, 47, calls himself "the tiger."

He has vowed to build megaprisons for drug traffickers, to bomb "narco-terrorist camps" and abandon Petro's efforts to broker peace with Colombia's long-standing guerrillas.

The idea of actually campaigning on imprisoning gang members and drug cartel operatives has the WaPo so frazzled they had to invoke the name of one of their favorite boegymen, Nayib Bukele of El Salvador, to show just how bad this could be for the current narco-state of Colombia.

DON'T BE EL SALVADOR!

John LeFevre
@JohnLeFevre

Colombia just exposed the entire American election grift:

1. Marxist leftist regimes can't win clean elections without foreign cash pipelines like USAID.

2. A narco state counted ~25 million votes in under 2 hours - paper ballots, in-person voting, ID required, and public hand-counting. Cleaner, faster, and more transparent than California, which is still "finding" mail-in ballots weeks later.

3. Democrats don't have a "voter suppression" problem.

They have a competence and integrity problem.

Buzz Patterson
@BuzzPatterson

THE NUMBERS ARE CLEAR

Trump and Elon officially shut down USAID in July 2025 after the big foreign aid freeze.

Since then, right-wing leaders have swept to victory across the region, at least 7 major wins in quick succession:

• Chile: José Antonio Kast (hard-right, biggest rightward shift in decades)
• Bolivia: Rodrigo Paz (ended decades of socialist MAS rule)
• Ecuador: Daniel Noboa (re-elected on law-and-order)
• Colombia: Abelardo de la Espriella (far-right surge into the runoff)
• Peru: Right-wing momentum building hard
• Honduras & Costa Rica: Conservative/right-populist takeovers

Coincidence? Or did cutting off billions in U.S. taxpayer dollars that were flowing to leftist NGOs, "democracy" programs, and activist networks finally let voters decide for themselves?

The pink tide is collapsing. People are choosing security over chaos, sovereignty over dependency, and results over ideology.

This is what happens when the money tap gets turned off and the people get to speak.

last year I posted a video that revealed the CIA had directly funded socialist political magazines and artists in the UNITED STATES with the claim that this was "fighting communism" by funding the "decent" socialist left. That is, they claimed this was anti-communist because they were funding socialists who weren't all the way communist.

Irving Kristol, Bill Kristol's father, was one of the socialists who were paid by the CIA to publish a propaganda magazine. (Irv Kristol later turned against the left entirely.)

97 President Trump signed the FY 2026 budget authorizing $50 billion for foreign assistance, representing a 16% decrease from previous years.

Following the cancellation of a majority of USAID-managed contracts, the State Department initiated the transfer and discontinuation of remaining functions to align with new administration priorities.

Foreign aid policy now heavily favors government-to-government bilateral spending, shifting away from smaller awards to private firms and non-governmental organizations (NGOs).

Despite the organizational phase-out, the USAID Office of Inspector General (OIG) maintains active oversight, audit, and investigative jurisdiction over legacy foreign assistance funds, the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC), and transitioning
programs.

Rho Khanna clearly knows every fact above. (Progressives like to play the OxFam game in front of the masses.)

15% of Rho Khanna's fortune - possibly over 330 million - could certainly go far to helping California's free food programs.

Yeah, I'm with you on that. And, I still think the massive fraud associated with hospice, at home childcare, and any number of other social services is instrumental in funding the Democrats, and that's why they're pulling out all the stops to avoid the prosecution (and even the investigation) or people like Tim Walz.

In Minnesota alone they were flying out nearly $20 Million in cash weekly via international airlines. That gets the money out, and set-up for laundering, with a portion returned to Democrats via a massive amount of foreign donations below the reporting threshold (which is where Act Blue came in and assigned donations to unknowing US citizens)

I must dissent from your characterization of French Guiana as being a "French colony."

It is an overseas department of France, and it elects representatives to the French parliament, just like Paris or Limoges.

It's also a member of the European Union, which it joined voluntarily, & can un-join if it ever wants to do so.

I tried a 72 hour fast. I have a scale that is supposed to give a body makeup breakdown which I figure is not exact, but a guideline. A few things:

- lost 6 lbs overall from start to finish.

- muscle loss was small (.1 lb) between start and 48 hours. Between 48 and 72 however, it was about half off the weight lost (lost a total of 2.1 lbs overall.)

- visceral fat loss was not particularly high proportion of weight loss.

- water amount held steady throughout (although oddly, I found myself wanting less and less water as it progressed.)

- ketosis as usual took about 24-36 hours to kick in. At 60 hours it was very high by the test strips.straps.

-I feel good after breaking the fast, but I wonder about the lack of 'wonderful mental clarity' the flaks insist on as you get beyond 48 hours.

Little game I enjoy. I'll ask AI a question, and if the answer is an obvious left leaning response, I'll ask it to show their full souce list. Then, I will ask AI to categorize those sources as to which way they lean politically. Apparently, no one has programmed to shut up. They will hang themselves by admitting a majority of sources to be left leaning....and that's when it gets fun.

I'll accuse that particular AI of being biased by its own admission. The responses from AI after than are usually interesting in that they will try to rationalize something they have already admitted.

Elon and Trump specified that there would be no cuts to things that actually saved lives. This is the Democrat machine knowing that the media will enforce the the narrative that benefits the Democrats and their client, Big Graft.

The Democrats just want to throw chaff to get their graft back.

USAID is spelled like that because it's deceptive.

It's really about "International Development" as in "US Agency for International Development".

It's mainly been about the IC having funds to "develop" assets and situations around the world.

The IC knows that most people are Lofos, and they want the lofos to see "AID" at the end.

Europeans Visiting the US for the World Cup Have Been Marveling At American Plenty, So the Left-Wing Bitter Widow Vanity Magazine "The Atlantic" Tries to Prove It's All a Right-Wing Psyop

This has been going on for a couple of weeks. Europeans are posting videos (mostly TikToks) showing themselves astounded by the portion sizes at American restaurants, enjoying American conveniences, delighting in America's unique cuisine (such as barbecue and chicken and waffles), and generally enjoying the American way of life.


Emanuel Quiñones
@EQuinones6310

Jun 19

The World Cup has turned America into a discovery channel for the rest of the world.

And they are not handling it well.
In the best possible way.

Here is what they are discovering:

Free public restrooms. Europeans pay every time.
Free water at every restaurant. Just appears.
Free refills. Coffee. Sodas. Iced tea. Unlimited.
Free chips and salsa before you even order.
Free warm bread with dinner.
Ice in drinks like civilized people.
Air conditioning everywhere. Not a moral debate. A fact.
Parking lots attached to the actual place you are going.
Drive throughs where the food comes to the car while you sit in it.
Ranch dressing by the gallon.
Tex-Mex that cannot be explained only experienced.
Dental care that actually works.
Buccee's. There are no words for Buccee's.

Then they found the grocery stores.

Five of them within one mile.
Each one the size of an aircraft hangar.
Burgers. Steaks. Brisket. Ribs. Pulled pork. Lamb. Veal. Every cut of every animal ever domesticated by human civilization available in one refrigerated aisle at ten in the morning on a Tuesday.

The Germans stood in the meat section for forty five minutes.
In silence.

They finally understand why we do not have trains.

We have roads wide enough for the cars we actually drive.

Why would we need trains.

Welcome to America!

Some video examples:

More examples. There are some are repeats from the last one in the beginning, but it's mostly all new:

And marveling at American suburbs and high schools:

So it's a nice story. It's a trend that reminds us in America to not take our plenty for granted, but to be grateful for it.

The left, on the other hand, doesn't think it's a nice story at all. They hate America for its riches and simultaneously curse it for having so much poverty. Choose a lane, guys.

So Steve Jobs' useless widow's Rich White Karen Needs a Hobby vanity magazine The Atlantic tried to debunk this "trend," as it's called, of Europeans appreciating America. They tried to prove it was inorganic. Fake. A right-wing op.

Note that he failed to find any evidence of this, but The Atlantic still claims, in its headline, that the videos are "not what they seem." Lack of evidence for the conspiracy is just further evidence of the conspiracy.

Justine Bateman read their attempt to #TakeDown this #ReichWingOp so that you don't have to.

Justine Bateman
@JustineBateman

It's sad that someone would feel compelled to write an article like this.

Within this Atlantic article, the writer strains against the joy that's been expressed by our foreign World Cup guests, and tries to find evidence of its falseness.

He is unable to.

I have saved you the trouble of reading the article. Enjoy all the happy videos instead.

And @TheAtlantic, you would gain many subscribers if you were to instead print the obvious piece about the joy being expressed. And also pull some happiness to yourself in associating with this joy.

"Joy" is a dirty word to communists. They are anhedonic, unable to take pleasure in the joys of life, so out of spite they seek to deny joy to others.

Communists, as you know, are the most miserable people who have ever infested the earth. They look at people enjoying food they never had before, like barbecue, and get angry to see people showing pleasure.

There is only one kind of pleasure allowed on earth, and that is to agitate for communism and "critique" -- meaning "relentlessly attack with invective both fair and fictitious until it collapses due to the sheer weight of hate heaped upon it" -- any functional, working capitalist system.

If successful, this "culture of critique" results, deliberately, in the immiseration of all people it is inflicted upon.

Now it just so happens that I saw someone post on Twitter a letter to Karl Marx from his father. Marx's writings created the "culture of critique" and he announced the scheme to engage in never-ending denunciation of the bourgeois comfort he was born into, with the idea that if enough communists engage in this coordinated Satanic rite of mass denunciation, it will bring civilized society down, dying from a million cuts from angry, spiteful, bitter, mentally-ill communists.

I thought maybe the letter was a fugazy but no, it's entirely real.

Karl Marx's father scolded him for not replying to any of his letters, except in a "fragmentary" "embittered" rant. He then scolded Marx for being permanently bitter about his state, despite having grown up in material comfort with all of the advantages in life.

I've bolded the key part but I'm including all of it. Skip to the bold if you're impatient.

Have you still your headquarters in Stralow? At this time of year and in the land where no lemon trees are in bloom, can this be thinkable? But where are you then? That is the question, and for a practical man the first requirement for correspondence is to know an address. Therefore, I have to take advantage of the kindness of others.

In other words, Karl Marx is a transient with no fixed abode and does not update his father on his current whereabouts. But he "takes advantage of the kindness of others," which I assume means he gave this letter to a mutual friend to deliver to the itinerant communist dipshit.


An address, however, is form, and precisely that seems to be your weak side. Things may well be different as regards material?

His father's kind of witty. He's mocking the idea that Marx has no "material" to write to him about.

At least, one should suppose so, if one bears in mind: 1) that you have no lack of subject-matter, 2) that your situation is serious enough to arouse great interest, 3) that your father is perhaps somewhat partial in his attachment to you, etc., etc., etc., and yet after an interval of two months, the second of which caused me some unpleasant hours full of anxiety, I received a letter without form or content, a torn fragment saying nothing, which stood in no relation to what went before it and had no connection with the future!

If a correspondence is to be of interest and value, it must have consistency, and the writer must necessarily have his last letter before his eyes, as also the last reply. Your last letter but one contained much that excited my expectation. I had written a number of letters which asked for information on my points. And instead of all that, I received a letter of bits and fragments, and, what is much worse, an embittered letter.

Marx was a manic-depressive lunatic, as one could gather from his Exclamation-Point-Riddled-Rants!!!, and I imagine the last fragmentary letter to his father was written in his style of deranged excitement and denunciation, which caused the poor dad to worry.

Frankly speaking, my dear Karl, I do not like this modern word ["embittered"], which all weaklings use to cloak their feelings when they quarrel with the world because they do not possess, without labour or trouble, well-furnished palaces with vast sums of money and elegant carriages. This embitterment disgusts me and you are the last person from whom I would expect it. What grounds can you have for it? Has not everything smiled on you ever since your cradle? Has not nature endowed you with magnificent talents? Have not your parents lavished affection on you? Have you ever up to now been unable to satisfy your reasonable wishes? And have you not carried away in the most incomprehensible fashion the heart of a girl whom thousands envy you? Yet the first untoward event, the first disappointed wish, evokes embitterment! Is that strength? Is that a manly character?

FUCKING GO OFF KING!

You yourself had declared, in dry words, that you would be satisfied with assurances for the future, and because of them renounce all outward signs for the present. Did you not make that renunciation word for word in writing? And only children complain about the word they have given when they begin to feel pressure.

I don't know what this means but the sense I get is that Marx has pestered his father relentlessly for money, writing only when he needed some, and at some point angrily declared he would trouble him no further for it, and now the father is asking: Did you not tell me directly that you would no longer make demands on my wallet? Are you a "child" who now regrets that declaration and seeks to undo it?

Yet here too your luck holds. Your good mother, who has a softer heart than I have and to whom it still very often occurs that we too were once the plaything of the little blind rogue, sounded the alarm, and the all too good parents of your Jenny could hardly wait for the moment when the poor, wounded heart would be consoled, and the recipe is undoubtedly already in your hands, if a defective address has not caused the epistle to go astray.

Time is limited, for Sophie is to take the letter before the post to the von Westphalens, who now live far away, and this good opportunity also was announced to me only today, so that I must conclude. As a matter of fact, at present I would not know what to say, at most I could only put questions to you, and I do not like to be importunate. Only one thing more my Herr Son will still allow me, namely, to express my surprise that I have still not received any request for money! Or do you perhaps want already now to make up for it from the too great amount taken? It's a little too early for that.

I think the means "I am surprised I have not received a demand for money since your last one," as he goes on to mention "too great amount [of money already] taken."


Your dear mother refused to reconcile herself entirely to the fact that you did not come home in the autumn as the others did. If it is too long for you and dear mother until next autumn, you could come for the Easter vacation.

What a shock, a spoiled communist, refusing to pay his parents any kindness, only writing when he needs more money to continue loafing around without contributing anything to society (and indeed, as the fullness of time will reveal, doing a great deal to destroy it.)

24 Videos of Brits discovering Buc-ee's and Texas BBQ are outright delightful. Breaks their minds in the absolute best possible ways. Whats also interesting is how ignorant and propagandized they are about America once they first arrive. Some man on the street interviews of various furriners of what they think America is like or American food is like (before they've yet experienced it) are astonishing. It's like they've been getting their knowledge about it America third-hand from North Korean government or something.

1 cup store-bought buttermilk* OR
*1 cup whole milk + 1 tsp. cream of tartar
1 tsp. dried parsley
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. onion powder

Probably not in the 5 lb. chubs though.

Per a German I know, the stores started losing variety of products about 15 years ago, and a lot of the variety of brands, and even then options of the sizes available for the same item.
Stores are also smaller, focused on a single type of food with fewer general stores. Storage is also a thing, so there is a tendency to buy only for the week or a few days.

There's a small restaurant in Trastevere in Rome that I made sure we went back to when I took the family to Italy last year.

Their signature dish is Rigatoni Democratici (it's how I google the place, I can never remember the restaurant's actual name).

I'd eaten it a couple of times when I lived there 16 years ago, and I'd always loved it. Took the family there, and I definitely got it again. Still a banger of a dish.

It also shows us the freedoms and abundance we need to preserve and defend at all costs!

213 I've always wanted to see England and Scotland. Of course, that was before their current enslavement by the Mozzies.

Australia and New Zealand were next on my list. Then they bowed and scraped before the WuFlu hoax. Imagine if you'd been trapped there on a vacation in 2020-21.

There are really no other foreign countries I'd like to see enough to spend the money. Individual points of interest, yes, like Antarctica and the southern tips of South America and Africa, and the part of Saskatchewan where my mother grew up. But seeing those would require going to the countries they are in.

246 Liberals are miserable because their entire worldview is fake and demonstrably untruthful. It’s why they want to control every ounce of information you digest, every liberty you can experience and the government, so they can coerce and force you to live their lives.

The truth is always peeking around the corner. They can’t hide from it and every time it rears its head it’s a reminder of their lies, failures l, vulnerability and mendacity. It’s the thing under the bed, and their worst dreams all rolled into one big pile of the truth coming straight at them.

Our kids lived in Europe and I watched the little ones while parents went on a trip. The combo washer dryer was terrible. They didn’t have a place to line dry things and no idea how many cycles to dry anything! They did have a small heated towel rack which also became a dryer.

“You are the cancer that is killing society.”

"AI suggestions:
This is a slang term, likely a misspelling of *fugazi*, which means something fake, counterfeit, or phony."

If you're not familiar, WordWeb is a handy lightweight dictionary/thesaurus app where you don't have open a browser (or switch tabs if you're in one), just highlight a word and ctrl-alt-w (or ctrl-right-click) and up it pops. They had already added a Wiktionary tab, which I use all the time, for richer details than the built-in database can provide. But now it can handle foreign words and slang at the first glance!

We take so much for granted and these UK and Europeans act as if Costco was a museum or historical artifact!

The one couple I've seen, James and Siana (he's the bearded guy with muscles and she's the gorgeous blonde from London) started this love of the USA in the past year on their youtube. Have visited over 20 states. Invited by a Southern family for Thanksgiving, which blew their minds and included hunting. They are trying to come to America to live.

The shock of someone, a stranger, saying hello. Sort of sad, as I thought this normal.

Why can't these people invade illegally and we deport the Somolians and those who rip us off and rape our women?

I want to keep these people as they love the USA.

Good for Justine to call out the bs. Thanks, Ace.

But the part they miss is what “free” gets you. Like everything govt gives away for “free” it’s rationed and shitty. It’s hard to get into college in Europe.

Boston enjoyed the Brits so much they sent a cart full of food and drinks to an airport gate where a Scottish group was waiting for a flight to go to Miami for the next round.

People can say it's fake all they want and I'm sure there are some doing it for clicks but what happened in Boston over the last couple of weeks was not fake. Both Bostonians and Scottish visitors had a great party.

And there’s no $30M library or gym on campus. Everything is old and run down. There are the exceptions like Oxford but that is NOT free, even for UK students.

It takes a special kind of cluelessness to call it "free". Who do you think pays for it, you twits? Do you think it just falls unbidden from the sky?

The dad of a friend of mine in the UK had a fairly serious heart condition that required surgery. NHS took 8 months to schedule the procedure.

Living in Boston for years it was very common to see people coming to the city for serious and even not so serious treatment. Cause the healthcare is free in Canada.

I went to school at an army base in Germany. We lived out in the countryside, so the army chartered tour buses as our school buses. Sometimes they'd be top-of-the-line busses. Sometimes they'd be POS's. You just never knew what the school bus was going to be from day to day.

Better yet, if they can do it in a way that includes a pre-determined mindset based on socialism.

Boston (Lexington), MA: William Diamond Middle School Principal Johnny Cole sent an email apologizing to Arab, Muslim, Palestinian, and Lebanese students who were offended by a mandatory Holocaust lesson.

Since when is teaching historical fact something that requires an apology?

And why is a school principal validating outrage over Holocaust education instead of defending it?

Kevin Deutsch
@kdeutschjourno

A Massachusetts middle school principal apologized to seventh-grade students after some families complained that a lesson on antisemitism and the Holocaust left them feeling "unseen" and "less safe."

The email message from William Diamond Middle School Principal Dr. Johnny Cole, of Lexington, Massachusetts, was sent to families following a presentation that connected Holocaust education to contemporary antisemitism -- at a time when hatred of Jews has reached unprecedented levels in the U.S.

Absolutely sickening.

Boston (Lexington), MA: William Diamond Middle School Principal Johnny Cole sent an email apologizing to Arab, Muslim, Palestinian, and Lebanese students who were offended by a mandatory Holocaust lesson.

He was so sorry they "felt unseen" and that their "own history, identity, community" had been "left out".

Seriously???

The Holocaust is about 6 million JEWS being murdered, along with others such as Christians who protected Jews, homosexuals and the mentally ill murdered along with them.

Only several dozen Muslims were killed in the death camps and most were Russian prisoners of war. Their deaths had nothing to do with being Muslim.

But Islam requires that EVERYTHING be about them and their point of view.

And their point of view, based on the Quran, is that Jews SHOULD be killed.

Islam glories in the death of Jews!

Here's an idea: If Muslims want to be included in history lessons about the Holocaust, they should learn about the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem plotting with Hitler to kill the Jews!

Somewhat related, I wonder how long it will before someone accused of murdering a black guy in some kind of confrontation uses the "Karmelo Defense."

"Your Honor, it was a young angry black man screaming at me and threatening me. Karmelo murdered a kid over nothing, just stabbed him in the heart. I wasn't gonna end up like Austin Metcalf. I feared for my life and defended myself before I was stabbed in the heart."

It's coming. Only a matter of time. And it could be used by black defendants too.

39 This is how it is in a truly multicultural society. And worse: expect thousands of beatings, stabbings, and murders around election time.
The minorities that came before, such as Jewish people, Italians, Poles, Greeks, are pretty well assimilated. However, since the 1970s assimilation is seen as a bad thing (a "new left" idea, just like affirmative action). Newer arrivals who come in large groups will probably never assimilate.

What does that mean in the context of a school lesson? I know this is social justice therapy talk, but even within that context, it has a (bullshit) meaning.

They were overlooked, their identity wasn't reflected, they weren't personally recognized, etc. This is typically what that means.

Why are you supposed to feel that way during a school lesson about the Holocaust? When I learned about it, I thought it was a horrible thing that happened. I may have done some introspection to make sure those events DIDN'T reflect any part of me or my mindset.

You are again incorrectly generalizing. There are dozens of major "Chasidic" sects. You're referring mostly to Satmar and Sqverer - which are practically the same.

You also don't know to distinguish between "Chasidim" and "Lithuanian" religious Jews, the latter overwhelmingly abhorent of the left in general.

And then there "Orthodox" who don't want to be clumped into the "modern Orthodox" camp.

What does that mean in the context of a school lesson? I know this is social justice therapy talk, but even within that context, it has a (bullshit) meaning.

They were overlooked, their identity wasn't reflected, they weren't personally recognized, etc. This is typically what that means.

Why are you supposed to feel that way during a school lesson about the Holocaust? When I learned about it, I thought it was a horrible thing that happened. I may have done some introspection to make sure those events DIDN'T reflect any part of me or my mindset.

221 When I started homeschooling the boy, I called the school district to find out what curriculum they were using to teach history. Nobody there could or would tell me. They said it was up to the teachers to determine lesson plans, etc.

IOW, they didn't want parents knowing what they were teaching the kids.

So, I bought Lord of History and taught that to the boy. Western Civ from a Catholic viewpoint, since most of Western Civ is Catholic, once you get beyond the Greeks.

We did timelines, and European geography, and all the other parts of that as well. Lots of focus on wars because, boy. Development of law, types of governments, economic issues, pestilence, all the cool stuff.

He probably has a better understanding of history than anyone else in his age group. It isn't all that difficult, but for some reason schools just don't bother.

Where did you go to high school? We spent way more time on WW2 than anything.

I think as naive people, or maybe just me, being incredulous it could happen again, we would obviously see the evil. And here I am wondering what happened.

Farage was good on Brexit and has been wishy washy on literally everything else. It's anti-establishment coded, and that's going to be good enough for most Britons, I assume (or, a plurality, not most).

Keir Starmer Announces Resignation as His Pre-Arranged Replacement Is Sworn In To Parliament

Before that, here's a completely unrelated story.

UK Police told mother of daughter stabbed to death 23 times with screwdriver by Rwandan 'asylum seeker' to 'tone down' statement to avoid anti-migrant 'violence'

27-year-old Rhiannon Whyte was stabbed 23 times with a screwdriver in October 2024. Her killer, Deng Majek, was a Sudanese national and was later sentenced to 29 years in prison.

UK Police told mother of daughter stabbed to death 23 times with screwdriver by Rwandan 'asylum seeker' to 'tone down' statement to avoid anti-migrant 'violence'
ad-image

Police in the United Kingdom encouraged the family of a hotel worker who was murdered by an asylum seeker to moderate their public statements out of concern that the killing could trigger anti-immigration protests.

27-year-old Rhiannon Whyte was stabbed 23 times with a screwdriver in October 2024. Her killer, Deng Majek, was a Sudanese national and was later sentenced to 29 years in prison.

The killing came just months after the Southport child murders, which sparked anti-migrant riots and demonstrations across parts of the UK. Whyte's mother, Siobhan, said police were concerned about the possibility of the murder prompting further unrest, saying they didn't want "another Southport."

"Did they tell us what to say? No. Did they guide us so it didn't look so aggressive? Maybe. I was aggressive -- they toned it down," she said, according to the Daily Mail.

"Those migrants were out within two hours -- I think that's because [the police] feared violence," Siobhan said.

Following the revelation that Majek had arrived in the UK on a small boat just three months before the attack, Siobhan publicly accused Prime Minister Keir Starmer of having "blood on his hands."

Keir Starmer hung on to power in order to have an "orderly" -- that is, scripted and pre-decided by party elites -- transition of power.

The transition involves making another leftist, Andy Burnham, PM. Starmer couldn't do this right away because Burnham had actually left Parliament (I think to be mayor of Manchester). So Starmer hung on to his seat to allow time for the currently-serving leftist Member of Parliament of Burnham's old district to resign, and then for a by-election to be scheduled to fill the seat, and then for Burnham to be elected as an MP again.

By the way I wasn't even 100% certain that the current MP for Manchester resigned specifically to allow Burnahm to run to replace him when I wrote that paragraph. I just assumed it. But now, having bothered to check, yes this was all arranged by party leaders.

He was literally sworn in as a "new" MP a couple of hours ago.


And now that he's an MP again, he will be coronated PM.

And then he'll serve until the next required election in 2029.

But not yet. Starmer says he'll remain in office for a while as they further scheme to coronate Burnham. He says he'll definitely be out by September, though.


Neil Farage, leader of Reform, is calling for a sooner election -- a "snap" general election -- as are many, many others.

Politics UK
@PolitlcsUK

🚨 NEW: Nigel Farage has called for a general election following Keir Starmer's resignation

But that will be ignored, of course, because while Labour can arrange and confabulate a single win in a Labour stronghold, they will be destroyed in any national election.

Democracy. Mmmm, drink it in.


Meanwhile, Rupert Lowe, leader of the Restore Party -- which is like Reform only not soft and cucky -- rejects claims that his Gang Rape Report is "Islamophobic."

Rupert Lowe MP
@RupertLowe10

Vile attempts by Zack Polanski, Humza Yousaf and many others to demonise me following the release of our rape gang inquiry report will not work.

For decades the mass rape of vulnerable white girls by gangs of Pakistani Muslims was covered up exactly because of efforts like this.

It will not work anymore.

There is a clear link between religion and these abhorrent crimes that have stained on our nation for so very long.

That religion is Islam, and other politicians must finally find the courage to say so.

Threats, abuse and intimidation will not work.

We have held our hearings, the report has been published and now we move onto the private prosecution phase.

Our aim is to put rapists and their enablers in prison.

That is now our objective.

51 Shockingly, the BBC -- which usually whitewashes attacks by illegals -- has even more vile details of Rhiannon Whyte's murder.

"Deng Majek stabbed Rhiannon Whyte 23 times with a screwdriver in a frenzied 90-second attack in 2024 after following the 27-year-old to Bescot Stadium railway station in Walsall. He was later caught on CCTV dancing and laughing."

"She was on the platform when Majek launched his attack, stabbing her 19 times in the head, with 11 injuries to her skull, and one wound so deep it pierced her brain stem."

They don't even know how old this cockroach is. Not joking. These savages are so thinly vetted they don't even know their true ages.

97 Starmer couldn't do this right away because Burnham had actually left Parliament (I think to be mayor of Manchester). So Starmer hung on to his seat to allow time for the currently-serving leftist Member of Parliament of Burnham's old district to resign, and then for a by-election to be scheduled to fill the seat, and then for Burnham to be elected as an MP again.
____________

Starmer blocked Burnham from standing for election on the Labor ticket a couple of years ago in order to avoid exactly this result.

The reason he's being "corronated" into PM is because the Labour Party is about to try a "LOOK SQUIRREL!!!" strategy to remain in office. Burnham is going to try to switch the focus to the Economy of the UK. The media outlets are already playing up is "economic genius." Even the articles coming out about him now are fawning over his "talents" with finances. You have to read to about paragraph 10 to see where he stands on immigration. It's not pretty.

While he says that they need to get better control on the small boats coming across the Channel, he's on record saying the UK needs to soften immigration rules. Got that? Soften them from what they are NOW.

Nope, over the weekend the UK police actually held a press conference to announce that the guy was white. Which is humorous in its own right. The refused to release his name at that time, however. In the UK, they can't release names (under law) until formal charges are levied. They let this guy out on bond until September without any formal charges after throwing a 3 year old to the crocodiles...because he's retarded....maybe severely so....not like most of the Morons. (had to throw in that last prt)

That's not correct. UK's GDP is over $4 trillion. That's Number 5 in the world. The only US state with (maybe) a larger GDP is California. Mississippi's GDP is under $200 billion.

236 The Mises Institute has a pretty good rundown on the Mississippi v. UK per capita wealth argument.

LINK: https://tinyurl.com/48jzxsnh

From the article:

"So, is Britain poorer than Mississippi? The answer appears to be yes, and it’s yes for many other European countries as well.

Why is this? Well, as we showed above, it’s not because the United States lacks a welfare state. The US has a very large welfare state. On the other hand, the US does often have a lower tax burden than most European countries. Moreover, Americans benefit from the very large free-trade zone that is the United States which very lightly regulates the movement of goods and services from state to state. In contrast, European states still impose many regulations on cross-border trade. For example, the IMF has noted that “Europe’s internal barriers are equivalent to a 45% tariff on manufactured goods and a 110% levy on services.” Overall economic regulation is certainly heavy in Europe as well.

That is true but these are average numbers.

So a woman that's jacked and 6 ft tall is probably fine at 170.

But there are a lot of spherical people in these averages - its not just Guatemalans.

In 2026, Mississippi’s GDP per capita exceeds the UK’s in both nominal and PPP terms, reflecting structural economic reforms in Mississippi and persistent headwinds for the UK. This “Mississippi Question” has become a notable benchmark in cross-country economic comparisons.

Heh. I once pissed off a hot liberal chick in a bar by joking around with the female bartender, a good friend by the way, when I popped out with "Thank God for the Wonderbra" with perfect comic timing.

Side note: hot liberal chicks are often willing to do damn near anything when her clothes are laying on the floor, but she's rarely any good at it. Starfish sex.

346 Just go to an a typical middle class home in the UK and one in the US. You don’t need to look at statistics you can see the wealth gap instantly. We live better in virtually all aspects of life.
