----- Tough times financially lately for Nike. Nike exits the S&P 100 after 18 years and a $200 billion market-cap wipeout One of the largest sports and athletic-wear companies of the modern day may be disappointing its namesake. Nike, the sportswear company named after the Greek goddess of victory, is losing its spot in the top 100 U.S. companies for the first time in nearly two decades. The athletic apparel giant lost over $200 billion in market cap since its all-time high in 2021, a near 80% drop in just the five years that have passed, and a plummet so severe that the once mighty company is no longer listed on the S&P 100.Article is paywalled, but you get the idea. 15 minute video here - pretty good analysis Pretty clear to us normies as to what happened to Nike
----- Donating stuff for charity is good, right? Maybe not always! Maryland man fights tickets tied to SUV he donated to charity A Maryland man who donated his disabled SUV to charity says he spent months fighting traffic and toll violations after someone allegedly forged documents to register the vehicle in his name. Stu Martin said he donated his 2015 Ford Escape to a charity last fall after the vehicle's transmission failed. The donation appeared to benefit both parties. Martin signed over the title, surrendered the tags and no longer owned the vehicle.Check out the whole thing. ----- Strangers become bros forever! ![]() ----- 70 year old can of unopened corn chips. Would you eat them?

For anyone wondering - the interview got cancelled again, they filled the slot. My efforts continue. I get so very tired of this. I pray for the right job to make itself known soon. Or for whatever God wants, to make itself clear to my sight soon. Tomorrow around lunch I'll ping the ones I'm waiting for feedback from, as politely as I can, except the ones that I know for sure won't be done evaluating candidates yet.

70 year old can of unopened corn chips. Would you eat them?
Maybe not 70 year old. But chips tend to last a long time. About four years ago in about April I saw a couple of bags of Kettle Brand jalapeño potato chips in the discount section of the local grocery store. They were there because they were set to expire in a few days. I was planning on making potato chip cookies and thought jalapeño might be good. But Things Got In The Way and then summer travel and holiday travel and it was April again, and I still hadnt made those cookies. Well, it cant hurt to open one of the bags, they might still be good enough for cookies. They were. And good enough for eating, too; I made one batch of cookies, and needed to open the other bag for the second batch, because Id eaten too many while waiting for the first batch to finish. Jalapeño potato chip cookies very good, especially the sandies variety. Posted by: Stephen Price Blair at September 08, 2026 10:14 PM (AgH9j) 20

Thanks for the ONT, Doof.
Theme for an imaginary western is one of the most beautiful songs by Mountain along with Nantucket Sleighride. Probably my second rock concert after Three Dog Night in HS. I think they came to Jackson, MS because of "Mississippi Queen." There were no large concert arenas closer to Vicksburg. I was so goofy I did not know they were at Woodstock for decades. While Leslie West was nothing to look at, he could sing. I fancied Felix Pappalardi in looks and as a bass player; who were my choice of guitar boyfriends til I met the acoustic guy I married. I remain mad that his wife killed him. My generation simply took it for granted that music would be this great forever. Thankful I heard a lot live and partied to great music through the '80's. That kid playing some Dire Straits is amazing. Wow. I know why you posted that woman eating a burrito, Doof. I was waiting for her to unhinge her jaw like a snake. Gross.

Changed the oil and filter on my SUV today. Eleven bolts and a push pin had to come off to remove assorted skid plates and an air dam. Fortunately, it was a beautiful day for rolling around on my concrete driveway.

Posted by: Oddbob at September 08, 2026 10:24 PM (vTZFs) *********** No. Some say a track was laid on top of his playing. I have no idea but it was impressive if it's real. The little girl with the gun: I debated emailing sons & saying, "Remember the few times when Mom was a bit nuts and/or had PMS, plus a lotta work stress? I raised my voice to you as teens & you still lived to adulthood!" A lot more stress than someone whose mother/MIL and nanny helped along with a husband at home & not working. I didn't "snap" as the three hag jurors decided. I had a glass of wine instead & told them I needed to rest for 30min in our bedroom. The jurors blamed wicked insomnia (which I never had when baby's/toddlers were small & could drop off in minutes from lack of sleep). Anxiety (I have that at times now and don't murder). Depression...ok, I had that once for 2wks post flu & cried a lot but no energy or thought to murder anyone. However, I was concerned the email might offend the more liberal of our DIL's (whom we love) if she saw it. I assume she won't murder their future children & that baby will have a lot of attention & help. Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at September 08, 2026 10:50 PM (hzuYO) 102

70 year old chips? Eh, if the canister itself was still airtight, they might still be edible though probably stale (oxidized). Now they may have used something like lard or beef tallow for frying. This would be much better than hydrogenated vegetable oils, which would have all the flavor and aroma of varnish or paint by now.

91 Not sure I've ever seen a whammy bar on an acoustic guitar.
Don’t think I have either. There’s no technical reason why an acoustic couldn’t have one, though. The whammy bar adjusts the lengths of the actual strings to achieve its effect; it doesn’t do anything electronically. Posted by: Stephen Price Blair at September 08, 2026 10:44 PM (AgH9j) I don't think the internal structure of a normal acoustic guitar could handle the stress produced by a whammy bar...

Til Tuesday was a true overnight sensation with Voices Carry. Their tour in the Northeast had already been planned a lot of minor venues. Including Eisenhower Hall at West Point, NY. Ike Hall was like the student union at a normal school. It's a 5000 seat theater, but it isn't a major venue for acts. The audience is captive!
I don't know if the date at West Point was the first on the tour - but it was the first one after they blew up on MTV. Their manager was a piece of work because now he had genuine stars on his hands and here he was running them through Podunk stops. He was NOT very nice. The band on the other hand was. And Aimee Mann was a different personality from the rest of the band. Don't know what they were like before but the band had been backstage for a couple of hours. Mann came in maybe 20 minutes before curtain. And she looked...rough. All leather, hair in a scarf, looked kind of rode hard put away wet. But after the opening act finished the spotlight came up on Aimee Mann in a gold sequined miniskirt and big 80s hair and makeup that was just so. Several thousand members of the predominantly male audience were appreciative. Posted by: blaster - Fortis Fortuna Adiuvat at September 08, 2026 10:56 PM (NlEaG) 112

Had a GTI once. Very nice car to drive. But it had been designed by the special "discourage the owner" engineering team. Just changing the air filter involved loosening ring clamps, wrestling off intake tubes, pulling the box off grommets (and then reinstalling the grommets) and the grand finale, taking out 6
Phillips screws to open the removed air box to replace the filter. No discernible performance or even manufacturing simplification to do that design either. Don't drive no VWs no more. Posted by: Azjaeger at September 08, 2026 11:01 PM (3/XaG) 119

One of the jurors on the Lindsay Clancy trial is interviewed on X in chiaroscuro. Says she originally thought the defendant was guilty, but allowed herself to be persuaded by the other jurors. Says some of the jurors were for acquittal from the start. She also states that they all tried to change the one holdout’s mind. The voice of this one juror mixes uptalk and vocal fry. I have decided to call this speaking style vocal fried chicken. It’s doubly off putting.

I think, from now on, when I mess up badly I'm going to blame it on being a Gemini and that Mercury is in retrograde (even if it isn't).
My husband, a moody and sensitive Cancer (he is neither), will simply be stunned and run to his horoscope to read: "A Cancer will most often marry a Scorpio, Pisces, or Taurus, as these signs offer the deep emotional safety and stability that a Cancer craves in a life partner." I'll bet they are not as fun as being married to me! In reality he will probably laugh and mock me. Which is what he does nearly daily even if I haven't screwed up. For example, if I don't run over a curb while driving him to a MRI he compliments me on arrival home. He said that last week. Yes, I did run over a curb in the parking lot two months ago and who cares? No one died! I think the tires are still in alignment. Whatevah! I think my birthday is the greatest ever and have thought that since I was a kid. Smack dab almost in the middle of the year with Christmas for gifts! I was a deep thinker, even then.

The whammy bar adjusts the lengths of the actual strings to achieve its effect; it doesn’t do anything electronically. Posted by: Stephen Price Blair ======== Some of the stronger acoustic guitarists can bend thinner guitar necks to achieve a similar effect. Pete Townshend preferred Gibson SGs of a certain vintage in the late 60's and early 70's (Tommy, Live at Leeds, and Who's Next) because he could bend the neck and alter his sounds that way. Doing his windmill thing, Pete actually impaled himself on a Strat whammy bar later on and avoided hitting any important nerves or muscles. I am guessing that Pete wished he had been playing his Gibson SG's that evening. That might have been the 79 tour but cannot recollect exactly.

I saw photos of her children, and they were beautiful. It is inconceivable how anyone could harm them. Posted by: Joemarine at September 08, 2026 11:21 PM (y171U) ***** Agree. I can't read about the actual murders and what happened as I don't want to know. I sadly have an idea. Mel Gilbson had a lovely tribute of Jesus welcoming them in their little matching teddy bear pj's to heaven. That's how I like to think of them. I can't read about abuse to children. As a RN in the ED/Trauma for five years, then 2yrs doing other stuff for the dept, I was somehow "protected" from abuse and car accidents of children and teens (sons were teens then). I had a job share partner, childless, who got those when I was off. I had to once deal with the father of a toddler boy he shook til the baby got brain damage and was flown out. The sheriff told me to not let the guy know he was a suspect as they arrested him at the children's hospital later. That was difficult because I wanted to shake him vs offering sympathy that the baby fell from a sofa as we waited for the mother. I protect myself from things that make me sad or enraged or sickened. Child abuse in all forms does this and I avoid it. Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at September 08, 2026 11:35 PM (hzuYO) 165

Tomorrow's news tonight
@CENTCOM 5h CENTCOM forces destroyed five Iranian crude oil carriers, Sept. 8, after the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) targeted a U.S. Navy warship with ballistic missiles twice over the past two days. The U.S. warship successfully evaded the attempted Iranian attacks and continued to patrol regional waters. No American personnel were harmed.

San Diego East County here. The temperature gets up to 100 F during the day, and doesn't cool down dramatically at night. Humid. This is unusual for this time of year. It doesn't rain though. The hot wind blows and dries out evedything. Including me. Kind of sucks. Maybe a harbinger of the giant El Nino we're told is coming this winter.

Defense logistics and storage depots got very good at storing and preserving items. C-Rations and things like that (MREs, currently) are held in cold storage warehouses and they last a long time if kept refrigerated.
We used to get all kinds of parts and things that were fairly vintage but were in perfect condition. Rubber is used in lots of components in particular, tires, etc., and sunlight and ozone are extrmely damaging. They wrote the book on firearms preservation too. Might be buried in Cosmoline but they will be perfect. Posted by: Common Tater at September 08, 2026 11:51 PM (l0/3j) 184

Posted by: Joe Kidd ----- That spelling (pronunciation) was a standard " term" for "whitey" in the 70s, 80s and into the 90s, but I haven't heard it recently. Prior to that, it was "hunkey" (uh,not aw) as the word used for just about any east European ethnicity, which makes a good argument for it originally as a "Hungarian" derivative. OTOH, I also heard "bohunk" (Bohemia - part of Czech) as a sort of equivalent term, so who knows? They could be "fighting words", but they were mainly used in a razzing manner, what I saw Adam Corrola call " busting his balls" on a podcast.

In East Toledo, "Hunky" is not even a pejorative, it's just the word for Hungarian. And the bacon is hunky because you need a solid piece of jowl bacon to make the campfire delicacy Sutni szalonna, or hunky-turkey. Yes, at one time turkey was expensive and bacon was cheap.
You hang a piece of bacon over an open fire, and hold crusty bread slices under it as the hot grease cooks off and is absorbed into the bread. It gets a toasted crust on it. People who have learned not to say "hunky" now call it Greasy Bread. It goes pretty well with excessive drinking in several forms. You get good mileage out of the piece of bacon, so it was popular at the time Packo's used to sell those split half hot-dogs for a nickel.

Funny thing is that I almost never bought Nike shoes. The last pair I had was in 1990 and they quickly fell apart. Oddly, they never really made good running shoes, IMO. I wore Reebok forever until I switched to NB, never looking back.
Nike did, however, have a good clothing line. I got some of their shorts - I’m sure they would be classed as basketball shorts but I found them to be good for running. They held up nicely, as did their shirts, socks and headbands. I haven’t gotten a Nike product in at least 13-15 years though. Posted by: Cow Demon at September 09, 2026 01:20 AM (PI7fX) 243

Berserker the USSR and Japan had a cold stand-off along the northern Chinese border (after the Soviets had kicked Japanese butts in small battles just before the main act of WWII kicked off). They had a non-aggression pact that both sides honored.
At Yalta Stalin promised to join the war against Japan within 3 months of Germany's surrender. He kept the promise, to the day. Treaty was abrogated. Soviet forces crashed through a weakened Shantung Army (Japan's forces in northern China) quickly. Japan surrendered 6 days later. So technically no, Soviets did not do a lot of fighting against Japan. But the whole weird situation with Russia and Japan suited us fairly well (Japan didn't interfere with our Lend-Lease shipping to Far East ports).

Sanae's a great PM but this objection to the Russian monument I find odd and off-base. Imperial Japan's record of infamous atrocities is most lurid in China. Whining about a memorial to Soviet action that helped end Japan's dark chapter in China is just odd.
On the other side, I've long thought Moscow has fumbled things in the Far East. Resolving the territorial question with Japan, as part of a broader rapprochement, especially WRT investment and development, would be a winning approach. In its own right, plus as a diversification of Russian foreign economic ties - away from so much dependence on Chy-nah. The islands in dispute have zero inherent value to Moscow (mineral/energy rights can be shared), but are important to Japan. Posted by: rhomboid at September 09, 2026 02:47 AM (U/Byj) 277

Iran's massive investment in missile tech and fortification couldn't be erased in a few weeks. It was very badly damaged. But public estimates at the time the (idiotic) MOU thing was entered into still had them with several thousand missiles. Production capacity was hit hard (umm, but it can always be rebuilt, which is another reason regime change is the only result that isn't in effect kicking the can down the road).
Their stockpile is greatly reduced, and they didn't show much ability to inflict major damage with their systems.

283 Khalkin Gol, (1939?)
“Border incidents” spanning July–August 1938 By the morning of 31 August, any Japanese remaining on Mongolian territory were either dead or prisoners. Of 60,000 troops trapped in the cauldron, 50,000 were later listed as killed, wounded and missing. Casualties in the veteran 23rd Division ran as high as 99 per cent. The Russians admitted casualties of 10,000 in killed and wounded throughout the campaign, but it seems likely that this was a considerable underestimate. The outnumbered Japanese Army Air Force claimed to have downed 1,200 Soviet planes (the Russian figure for their “kills” was 660) in the four months of hostilities, but in the days before instant close-support on the battlefield this could not sway the ground-fighting. Now, on last day in August, Zhukov’s dog-tired, grimy tank crews stared east from the border they had regained, waiting for order to go on, while frantic Kwantung Army HQ scraped depots of Manchuria to find troops to stem what many feared would be a Red flood. That order never came. ... autumn of 1939, Moscow & world had o, more urgent problems. Zhukov’s pincers met behind the Japanese lines & Panzers rolled in Poland.

Golden's know they will never be in trouble for long because they are so cute.
Sort of my attitude with my father into college. He could blow a fuse with me right there, totally calm, as he yelled like a Marine. Then look at me, smile, and say, "I don't think you are afraid of the devil himself." No, I'm not, actually. He always got over it quickly my entire life. So does my dude, and I don't wag my tail like a Golden! He was perfectly happy stealing the stick and ladder because he could.

2 Will give it my same comment as I did on Substack. With watercolor, you don't paint the white parts. You let the paper do that. If you look, you can see how he used light grey to shape the dress.

Anders Zorn is the most kick-ass painter! Got to visit his house and museum in Sweden, and also saw a showing of his work in San Francisco's Legion Of Honor. While this watercolor is superb, the one I fell in love with is "The Thorn Bush" which is just as realistic. He was a contemporary of John Singer Sargent, whom he met while visiting America. Also famed for working with a limited palette, supposedly only using four colors, which I doubt was the case with every single one of his paintings. You know damn well he had ultramarine blue lurking in his studio at some point.

I sometime point this out on the art thread -- a lot of paintings are artists trying to capture the texture and light of different materials. This is why there are so many paintings of those shimmery silk gowns, or even curtains -- because they are challenging and fun to paint.
Same with sculpture -- it is often the artist trying to become the very best at showing water flowing over toes. or fabric draping from a shoulder, in marble. This was all before photography. After photography artists spent their time painting stuff that wasn't there. Posted by: bob (moron inbobnitus) at September 08, 2026 07:42 PM (yIb5h) 52

I've been enjoying the Big Bang spin-off Stuart Fails To Save the Universe. The premise is Sheldon, Leonard, and Howard build a machine to allow transportation between alternate universes. Stuart trips and breaks it causing Stuart, Kripke, Bert, and Denise to be cast into alternate universes. They try to fix the machine but even when it's operational, they don't know how to use it so they're constantly being thrown into other bizarre universes as they try to return to the real universe. Kind of a comedic Quantum Leap. Other Big Bang characters appear but are different. For example, Bernadette appears as an evil witch in a magic universe. Obviously, the humor is much broader than in BBT but I think it’s well written and funny.

Hopefully we get the “let’s just keep an eye on it” instead of “I think this needs to be surgically removed.” Because that’s expensive. And I don’t want anyone cutting on my little Fink. Sorry.

The lack of hurricanes is positive evidence of climate change. As the climate changes, there may be instances of no hurricanes, while at other times, there may be hurricanes that cause flooding and widespread damage. These fluctuations are due to climate change.

Astrology, Ouija, Tarot - they're just games (and pseudo-science, Astrology) with no inherent good or bad about them. What they do is focus the mind, and what that means depends on how they're used.
My first experience with Ouija, an older cousin was so obviously pushing the palette around on purpose (while denying doing so) that I thought, oh, so that's the trick. Decades later, with a trusted friend, I tried again. Neither of us had a goal or agenda, and the palette just wandered around aimlessly. I realized the wandering, as opposed to sitting still, was a product of our mutual muscle-reflex. Interesting, but not spooky in any way. Now, of course, if some young teen girls in a dark room with candles flickering invoke some dark being, they may come up with dangerous and disturbing results (whether one of them is forcing answers or not). Like when throwing the Tarot, the "death" card comes up, and, by golly, by the voodoo power of suggestion, one of the girls does something stupid and dies. (The interpretation of the card by more careful folks is that it symbolizes end and renewal.) Still wise not to tempt demons. Trust in God, but it's not a good idea to sit on a cliff edge.

Some people think it opens a spirit doorway
Some people think. Some don't.😜 All manner of behaviors can leave minds open to messed-up mentality. The doors of perception are subjective, not inherent in some Milton Bradley toy. I thought I saw an invisible ghost once (just go with it) and started to have a rising fear response. I reasoned that it might be a hallucination (most likely too much coffee), but, could be a demon, or an angel. From angels, there was nothing to fear (although, why do they always start with "fear not," eh?), and for demons I count on the shield of protective faith, thank you, Mr. Jesus. Get thee behind me, ugly one. Fear and reason use different parts of the brain, and simple calm reasoning did not immediately quell the adrenaline rush of fear. It was a very brief but educational experience.👻 Boo!

anyone who practices divination or tells fortunes or interprets omens… Deut.
I never fooled with Ouija, save the two times I mentioned, and astrology was just amusing fantasy. But I did learn Tarot, and did readings for folks for a number of years. Long ago. I never thought of it as divination or fortune-telling. It was just the chance positioning of cards in a layout. My favorite results where when someone would nod and say, that's so true, when I had no idea what it meant to them. I saw it helping people deal with their own lives and problems by holding up a kind of mirror. Nothing magical about it. I was a professional: charged a quarter. Non-professionals shouldn't try these dangerous practices. A few times, I used the cards to generate song lyrics. Inspirational, but I once created a song based on a milk carton label and another from just the name of the game of Risk™️, so, you get what you get from wherever. http://mindfulwebworks.com/tales/risk#video Posted by: mindful webworker - it was Casper at September 08, 2026 09:45 PM (aKb34) Posted by: mindful webworker - Fishy at September 08, 2026 09:47 PM (aKb34) 177

O/T...We have neighbors, good people, who are very OCD. To the point they make my in-laws look mellow. Super hyper people and things out of whack disturb them.
Their aspens keep dying and are chopped down one by one. All connnected to a root system. The big one left a huge stump and it apparently drove him loco. He started digging the stump about noon. Tried to hook it up to his SUV which did nothing. Now there is a tarp with dirt (he kept digging) and, oddly, a shop vac for the dirt. One of the garage doors is wide open and both SUV's missing. We are unsure if he had a detour to the ED or what is going on. He may have started whacking at the roots and cut himself? Something ain't right. I guess we could close the garage door by dusk to help. *A glimpse of my exciting life.

The Onogurs were a Turkic people who apparently inhabited Hungary between the disappearance of the Avars and the arrival of the Magyars. Confusingly, Hungary is a corruption of Onogur, not a derivation from the Huns who briefly inhabited the area before the Avars.

The NY Post has a story (and, unfortunately, photos, of the three hag juror uglies). I scanned it briefly.
They claim the prosecution was "harsh" as she was a good mother! Right, right, right. They "could find no witnesses to proclaim otherwise." Certainly the husband did this no favors as he was on the stand. It is possible he simply can't believe he married a demon or wanted to admit it. She is a manipulator. I guess none of them thought of that one. Ted Bundy manipulated and was, for heaven's sake, once on a rape hotline or similar in Washington. I feel a bit harsh towards Clancy I wish I never had to see her face again. I know it is beside the point but I hate her nose. Her eyes are dead and evil. Her skin has not recovered well from the asphalt roof skid or she started out that way. However, they found Clancy's lawyer compassionate, kind and funny. Why would a defense lawyer at the murder trial of 3 children by their mother's exercise bands find any humor? I want to ask if they have children or grandchildren. Probably feed feral rats for pets. More whining about the pills and she "snapped." Her tox screen showed below therapeutic levels & not contributing. Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at September 08, 2026 10:13 PM (hzuYO) 192

In an earlier thread I criticized Clancy's POS lawyer for publicly asking Trump to consider pardoning his POS client. Because Trump can't pardon state and local crimes.
On second thought, Clancy's POS lawyer is crazy like a fox. By publicly floating a pardon request that Trump cannot grant, the POS lawyer is telling all the Clancy crazy ladies to begin bombarding childless bull dyke MA Gov Maura Healey with requests and demands for a pardon. I have no idea what Healey sees as the pros and cons of pardoning Clancy. Posted by: Gref at September 08, 2026 06:46 PM (5rh/l) 38

I'm seeing more and more videos of female professionals whining about being "burned out" and in "survival mode", can't get out of bed, etc. Feminists wanted women to have access to the same high-paying jobs men had. Now that they've found out the price of holding those jobs. So, of course, the nature of the job must change so women can succeed.

I amuse myself by watching youtubes of cops dragging out of control idiots out of restaurants, cars, hotels, and so on. Most of said idiots are white women, so none of this stuff with the Lindsay Clancy fans surprises me. A proportion of the female population is irrational and dim witted. And I believe that the reason that they are underrepresented in the prison system is that cops and prosecutors go easier on women than on men.

Take the Lindsey Clancy stuff to the desired AWFL outcome:
Are any of these Karens going to offer her a good-paying job if she is released? Perhaps they could hire her as a nanny for their children? She will need a job to afford housing, utilities, and food - all things which the taxpayer is currently providing her. And being a paraplegic, she will require special accommodations AND someone to take care of her additional needs. What kind of social life will she have outside of the place she is currently housed in? Does she honestly think that any of her friends will want to be around her now? It's been 3 years - they have all moved on. She is better off where she is, whether she thinks so or not.

Posted by: Hadrian the Seventh at September 08, 2026 06:46 PM (eRlcH) Some of us women who got the high-paying jobs worked harder than the men did to get to the top of those jobs, and were still shit on in some sectors. You don't have to be a screeching idiot to want a decent job that uses one's mind to excel in, and be paid accordingly. But I can document that men who were just starting out in architecture were paid more than I was after 10 years of experience, and no failed projects. Just because some imbeciles don't get that it takes hard work to get ahead doesn't mean the rest of us should suffer the kind of crap I put up with for years. Most of that went away over the past 25 years or so, but no means all of it. Standing firm on professional ethics can get a woman accused of being a hysteric. That doesn't often happen to men.

Read in the UK DM of a man breaking up with his fiancee in recent weeks, and a $200k wedding, because she felt Clancy was innocent when he asked her what she thought. Good decision. Smart. Get out!!! Run!
Mr. Clancy looks jaundiced in that photo and I hope he's not. Glad he divorced her and married again. I'm a Gemini and did not kill my children. A sentence I never thought I'd write. The mere fact that ANYONE believes in astrology or horoscopes is retarded. I used to read them and snicker. Married a Cancer and apparently we are doomed or something 47yrs later. So stupid. So pathetic. So deranged to think this is as real as tarot cards, ouija boards, or the Magic 8 Ball. Is this one of the questions on dating sites? "Found my soul mate but he's the wrong sign!

I think about what Clancy’s life is going to look like. No matter what happens to her from a criminal justice standpoint, she’s going to be dependent on others for the rest of her life. That population is broken into 3 segments: one, those who are disgusted and revolted by her but who choke that down and deal with her as professionals; those who can’t do that and make their revulsion known to her; and those lunatics who actually identify and side with her. If there’s even the slightest glimmer of self-awareness in her, she would have to know that any time showed her anything approaching affection or warmth, that that person was likely just as much of a psychopath as she (Clancy) is. Not like that feels anything like full justice in this world, but never truly knowing a normal human connection ever again does seem like a kind of Hell to me…

Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at September 08, 2026 09:44 PM (hzuYO) Quick HitsThe Supreme Court ruled 8-1 that the political parties also have the same right to reduced ad rates on television before an election that candidates do. The one holdout? The one who isn't a biologist and also still wears a mask in public.The Supreme Court on Friday lifted a ruling that prevented party committees from accessing cheaper advertising rates in the lead-up to November's elections, siding with Republicans, for now, in an emergency case that drew staunch Democratic opposition. Federal law mandates that broadcast stations offer their lowest available rate in the 60 days preceding a general election. Everyone agrees candidates get the discount, but whether political parties and joint fundraising committees can, too, has come under question. The court appeared to split 8-1, though the justices don't have to disclose their votes in emergency decisions publicly. The majority said that federal courts had no authority yet to intervene in the dispute. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, the court's junior liberal justice, publicly dissented. In a one-paragraph opinion, she explained the lower panel likely had authority to move ahead. Republicans' Senate and House campaign arms -- boasting a cash advantage and backed by the Trump administration -- brought the fight to the Supreme Court after Democratic candidates sued to stop them from accessing the cheaper rate.Democrats are suddenly suing to stop this because, of course, the RNC has a huge amount of money right now and the DNC is broke. With the midterms less than a dozen weeks away, the Republican National Committee continues to boast a massive cash advantage over its Democratic counterpart, according to Federal Election Commission disclosures made by both committees on Wednesday. The filings, which cover the month of July, show that the Democratic National Committee had about $16 million of cash on hand at the end of the month compared with the Republican National Committee's $130 million in cash. The DNC also has $17.9 million in debts, though the committee has reduced its debts by roughly 3 percent from the $18.5 million in debts and obligations owed at the end of June. The Democrats' fundraising arm has been mired in money issues for months: The Washington Post reported in July that though DNC Chair Ken Martin and allies expected Democratic victories and the approaching midterms to bring major donors back, that hasn't materialized.Michael Shellenberger: Communists always lie.

A fleet of tow trucks and buses was called to the scene to arrest drivers and spectators and impound vehicles. According to LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell, "Operation Street Sweeper" was planned ahead of time using intelligence gathering and drone technology that helped officers predict the locations of four separate street takeovers. The operation conducted by LAPD's Street Racing Task Force culminated in a massive scene at the intersection of South Figueroa Street and West Alondra Boulevard around 2 a.m. LAPD said over 700 people were gathered for an illegal street takeover at the intersection. More than 150 LAPD officers were deployed to the scene and surrounded the massive gathering, taking dozens of people into custody and citing hundreds more. In total, McDonnell said 66 people were arrested for participating in or aiding in a street race or takeover. Three additional arrests were made: one for assaulting an officer, one for battery and one for obstructing or interfering with officers. In addition to the nearly 70 arrests, 570 citations were issued, McDonnell said. Of those 570 citations, 442 were issued for being a spectator at a speed contest or exhibition of speed. An additional 128 citations were issued for juveniles who were out past the city of Los Angeles' 10 p.m. curfew for minors. McDonnell said the youngest person was just 11 years old. Law enforcement impounded a total of 200 vehicles from the scene, and in the process of making arrests and issuing citations, McDonnell said seven firearms were recovered. Canisters of nitrous oxide were reportedly also recovered.

@warDaniel47 🚨 WOW! Fox News just absolutely stunned Sen. Jeane Shaheen (D). SHAHEEN: I haven't heard anyone in my party wanting to give illegals taxpayer-funded healthcare! FOX: I'm glad you said that. I have some tape... "Show of hands: provide coverage for illegal aliens?" EVERY DEMOCRAT PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: *Raises hand* FOX: That's literally every member of your party...from moderate to progressive. -------------- That was Woke 1.

I think we're looking at the wrong underlying issue on this one. First off, the DNC may be showing a crappy balance, but democrat candidates are taking in a windfall. For all the Kabuki theater associated with ActBlu, their current records for 2026 show them setting fundraising records much higher than previous years (when we assumed, likely correctly that they were just laundering funds...taxpayer funds, for DNC candidates).
The lawsuit filed by the DNC to keep the RNC from receiving discounted air time is more likely to keep an advantage they have been exploiting. Ask yourself a simple question.... "Knowing the absolute bias of the media corporations relative to politics, do you really think they weren't handing the DNC discounted rates under the table and inflating RNC rates simultaneously?" The SCOTUS ruling was less about expanding the definition...and more about the DNC keeping their unfair advantage. Posted by: Orson at September 08, 2026 05:43 PM (dIske) 18

Yes, there were races going on, and speed exhibitions. Likely quite a few without valid licenses. Perhaps a spattering of stolen vehicles (or more than a smattering). Wreckless driving for a teen is a catalyst, but I expect it was the California law that states that a California license is probationary up until you turn 19 years old. And finally, teen curfew ....can't drive the thing if you aren't supposed to be there. And, since there were over 500 arrests, they can't just leave cars downtown...impound lot is a safety feature.

Posted by: Field Marshal Zhukov at September 08, 2026 06:25 PM Bride of PI is currently teaching at a low-income Middle School. She has now learned to identify early in the semester which parents always back the hoodlums and which parents support their child getting an education. For the students of the latter group of parents, it is remarkably effective to say, "You haven't turned in any work this entire week and you have been disruptive in my classroom. Do I need to send another email to your mother?" That results in good behavior and paperwork incoming. Too bad only 20-30% of her students have that dynamic.

Posted by: Ralph at September 08, 2026 06:41 PM (8WZD4) Tucker Carlson: Algebra Is a Jewish Plot to Confuse the Goys by Sticking Letters Into MathTucker Carlson used to posture as an intellectual. An intellectual who was not so far up his ass that he couldn't see practical reality or the real problems of citizens, but an intellectual nonetheless. He never actually was an intellectual. But he did pose as one. He's decided that Real Nationalist Socialism Populism requires its agitators to be dumb as Hasan Piker and now declares that nobody -- including engineers, pilots, ship captains, etc. -- really needs algebra. It's a scam created by Jews to distract the goys while the Jews rule the world (without algebra, we assume).Tucker Carlson has found a new hill to die on. Not only does he hate the Jews and blame Israel for every terrible thing that's happened on Earth, but he's now perplexed by the presence of letters in basic algebra.

You didn't calculate the span, rise, and radius of the arch? You didn't calculate the sum of horizontal and vertical forces on the support blocks?

Shouldn't that be catenary arch? You didn't calculate the span, rise, and radius of the arch? You didn't calculate the sum of horizontal and vertical forces on the support blocks? You didn't calculate the compressive stress vs the allowable stress of the materials? I have doubts you calculated the size and structural integrity of the arch if you didn't do those things.

It is true that most people won't use much of the math they learn in school, but there are reasons to study it anyway. 1) Train your brain for rigor. Few things make you think harder. 2) As a society, we need an educational filter for intelligence, and math is a good one. You should learn early on whether you're suited to STEM or something else. 3) Any successful modern society requires math competence in a portion of the population.

Assuming that's true, and I believe you, that's a heuristic, not a calculation. It doesn't verify the structural integrity.

Math's biggest advantage isn't the way you'll use it later on, its that it forces you to think in an orderly, systematic manner: it teaches logic Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at September 08, 2026 04:53 PM (K32Fz) 134

Here's a contrived but somewhat realistic use for algebra that even Tucker could understand.
Say you're a shop owner who sells fruit. You have a cart you take to a nearby town to pick up your fruit. Based on past experience, you know your cart can hold 500 bananas and 30 watermelons. Also based on past experience, you know your cart can hold 300 bananas and 40 watermelons. You find a pretty good deal on bananas and watermelons this time. You want to buy 400 bananas and as many watermelons as you can. Without breaking your cart, and without wasting your money by buying too few watermelons to fill your cart or so many you break your cart or are force to abandon some, how many can you buy?

102 I have no idea what 'goy' means. I keep seeing it being used against Jews by the usual suspects of loons.
Posted by: Puddleglum "Goy" (plural "goyim") was the words used in Yiddish-speaking communities from the Middle Ages up[ through the 19th century to refer to anyone who wasn't Jewish. It wasn't originally derogatory, just a descriptive term to distinguish locals from outsiders. Every ethnicity and langauage groups has some kind of similar term. A good example of a similar terms was how Native Americans would refer to any outsider as "paleface." But once the word "goy" arrived (along witht he rest of Yiddish) into an urban environment (specifically 19th century New York), and non-Jews heard it for the first time, they kind of took offense, feeling the term was exclusionary and demeaning. (Exactly how whites took offense at the originally non-derogatory term "paleface.") Eventually, the word was burdened with negative connotations, such that anytime a Yiddish-speaker used it, it was deemed insulting. Fast forward to the post-10/7 world, and now it is an adjective which means, "Inferior cultural artifacts devised by sneaky Jews to waste non-Jew's time."

--------------------- Speaking with NBC10 Boston, the three women detailed the arguments they had with the one male juror who would not acquit. One of the women, known only as juror two, told the outlet: 'He, I think got up to the cart [with the exhibits] once and then went back to his seat. 'He would not interact with us and try to understand. We read to him the definition of reasonable doubt. 'He said one day "why don't we have the judge read it again?", and we were like no we have it in front of us.' One woman, the jury's foreperson, told the outlet: 'He had reasonable doubt. He admitted he had reasonable doubt. 'I started filling out the forms, I was so excited. There were three forms I had to fill out, and then he said "but I'm still not going to say she's not guilty."' According to the trio, they argued so much with the man that the alternate jurors could hear them through a wall. Posted by: beckster at September 08, 2026 05:03 PM (kX27y) 183

I wrestled all night myself.
Muslims have recently read that tale and are gleefully crowing about how weak Yahweh must be, because Jacob beat him in a wrestling match. You can always tell who has had kids and who has not. Like God asking "where are you?" to Adam and Eve. Its not about ignorance, its about giving the kids a chance to do the right thing before you take the belt off.

You are trying to estimate the area under a curve so you divide the area up into rectangles. To check the quality of the measurement, you do your calculations again with somewhat smaller rectangles. Then you check that one. Before long, you are doing calculus.

I sort of understood why I needed algebra for nursing. Not really, but I had to take it.
I remain in the dark why I needed physics. And at some point, for reasons unknown, I took and passed and hated zoology. I also took geology and don't remember why and liked it. I like rocks, fossils and stuff I find on beaches. I had a lot of ology classes. Biology, anatomy and physiology obviously made sense with chemistry and organic chemistry for nursing. The classes I hated the most were psych and I had at least 3 of those horrors. I may use algebra and trig without knowing it but I consciously avoid them. Got into trig and made an A.

From Deadline.
Our societal betters felating each other. French filmmaker Florian Zeller has returned with a new feature, Bunker, starring Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem, which earned a 16-minute ovation this evening after its debut screening at the Venice Film Festival. There was a very enthusiastic response to the movie in the room, with Cruz and Bardem sharing hugs during the applause and woos from the crowd. The 16-minute 30 second ovation takes it beyond the 14-minute ovation scored by Wild Horse Nine earlier in the festival and makes it one of the longest ever at the Venice Film Festival.

Apparently very little hygiene til they haul her off to the shower room. I guess she sits in her misery. I don't want her out of the life she made for herself. She deserves nothing but having to be trapped in her own misery til her last breath. I don't understand the mercy towards her when she showed none for her own children. If she was that psycho her little self admission to a psych unit would have become her home for awhile. She manipulated them as well, I am positive of this,to be discharged after 5dys.

Do you really have to "really know math" to make a kiln?
------- No. But you're going to need a lot of trial and error. Or access to the result of other people's trial and error. And it's not as if building a kiln is the epitome of human achievement. People have done it for probably tens of thousands of years. If that's the most complex thing you'll ever want or need to do, sure, you can probably make a serviceable kiln without too much math. If you want to build something a bit more complex, like say a telephone system or a digital computing device, or a friggin' rocket ship, you're definitely going to need some advanced math. So enjoy your little wood-fired kiln while you depend on other people to bring you electricity and clean water so you don't die horribly like most of humanity throughout history.

Find x
This is how I wanted to answer all of the algebra quizzes from HS through college. With the added twist of why do you care because I don't? Let x remain free! I was an unruly student at times. On my first nursing psych quiz, and I hated it, I made an A. After a lot of moaning to anyone in the class, the professor and my bf/husband who'd try to explain it to me. The professor smirked and announced I made the top grade and my classmates snarled at me. I continued to say I did not understand. The professor, who was also head of the nursing program, said, "That's because you are in a fugue state." I said I reckon so. I hated clinicals the most. Totally worthless for me to pretend to do the bare minimum of nursing vs give me an infected incision to clean. Or post-op heart surgery. That I understood. I was nice but hopeless in psych nursing. We had to go to a chronic nursing home for a month where the men fought over cig butts and the sad women rocked baby dolls. We were supposed to figure out a "care plan." The best I could come up with, which we did not present to the instructor, was to divide the men into teams to see how many cig butts were won.

Just asking questions. Serious questions. Posted by: C. Tarlson at September 08, 2026 07:08 PM (5KIQM) More Illegal Aliens Arrested for Doing That Thing That Never, Ever HappensWe're moving towards The Most Secure Elections in History, and the Democrats and the media (but I repeat myself) don't like it one bit. Footage obtained by Fox News Digital shows federal agents executing a sweep linked to a multi-state Department of Justice (DOJ) probe that has resulted in criminal charges against individuals for illegal voting, falsifying citizenship status and other election fraud related charges in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Wisconsin. The charges arrive as part of a highly publicized nationwide surge by the Trump administration to hunt down election-related crimes ahead of the 2026 midterms. Over the past year, the Justice Department has filed lawsuits against nearly 30 states to force the surrender of confidential voter rolls, while simultaneously repurposing Homeland Security Investigations (HSI)--an agency historically focused on cartels and terrorism--to spearhead a search for unlawfully registered non-citizens. "Despite the media and Democrats claiming it never happens, the evidence of non-citizens registering to vote in our elections continues to pile up," White House spokesperson Lauren Bis told Fox News Digital. "Any non-citizens found registering to vote and voting in our elections will be held accountable. Only Americans should be electing American leaders." ... The Justice Department announced Friday that five people--including two illegal immigrants and two non-citizens with legal status--had been federally charged with unlawfully casting ballots, falsifying citizenship status, fraudulently registering to vote and aiding and abetting during the 2022 and 2024 elections. Some of the arrestees, according to a DOJ press release, could face up to more than a decade in prison if found guilty of providing a false statement of citizenship in order to vote and other election fraud charges they are facing. ...Very related: An illegal alien and criminal kept taunting an ICE agent by texting him that he was going to vote Democrat in the election and strip him of power and immunity. ICE arrested him.

Very related: An illegal alien and criminal kept taunting an ICE agent by texting him that he was going to vote Democrat in the election and strip him of power and immunity.
ICE arrested him. ======== I assume that illegals vote at about 6%. There was a study of the 2008 election that came to this conclusion. I also assume it was that high because there was no real consequence for doing it. In addition, many illegals probably thought that they were legally allowed to vote since they got registered. I think the ICE effort this year and last year, combined with stories like this, will drive down that number significantly. I think it'll affect even legal immigrants who do have a right to vote. They'll just be too scared to try it. Essentially, it'll depress their turnout beyond just those deported. No, it doesn't addressed the dirty voter rolls issue, but if 6% of illegals are voting and there are tens of millions of them, and you dissuade them down to 5% while removing a bunch at the same time....that makes a difference.

DHS chief says ICE could make arrests at polling places — ignoring federal ban on armed agents at voting sites
Fuck em. They can’t arrest an American exercising their vote. The point is they would be arresting non-Americans trying to vote. That LITERALLY DOES NOT HAPPEN. It’s pure propaganda bullshit. Almost all voter fraud cases in the last 10 years involve MAGA. They've arrested people for driving near them, rammed skulls into the wall, arrested them IN COURT for immigration, in hospitals after crash but BEFORE receiving care, just "deported" a US citizen to Mexico...I don't really trust them at polling places you can also do a citizen arrest on agents if they are commiting crimes. They're literally interfering with elections and trying to intimidate voters. Attacking mail in voting and in person voting.

A story a week in Philadelphia
Philadelphia Inquirer - A Guinean immigrant has lived in the U.S. legally for two decades. Unable to deport him to his homeland, ICE wants to send him to a third country. Sept 3, 2026 'He’s the epitome of who you would want to live in this country,' the man's attorney said in court. In part, "In Guinea, a nation of 12 million people that’s roughly twice the size of Pennsylvania, Fadel Cherif was jailed by the government after protesting the results of his country’s 1998 presidential election, which was marred by irregularities. He later fled in fear of being rearrested, using a document that showed a different Guinean identity to enter the United States in New York in November 2003." ... "Palladino said in an interview that Fadel Cherif is the main support for his wife, who has legal permanent residency, also known as a green card, and for their four American-born sons, including Abdoulaye, a Marines reservist." --- Given the 2020 U.S. Presidential election and January 6th...

At The Telegraph: "Time lords prepare to kick leap seconds into the next millennium."
Earth's rotational speed is changing, possibly soon resulting in a negative leap-second. "Most digital architectures and network time servers are hardcoded under the assumption that leap seconds are strictly additive. [A negative leap-second] could trigger severe disruption across critical national infrastructure, including telecommunications, electricity grids, and satellite navigation systems," It's Y2K all over again. Somebody got stingy, didn't allocate enough bits to contain a proper time field. Except this time we don't even know when the problem hits exactly. The Time Lords have decided that if we can get it all fixed by 2035, we might be OK. Time Lord > Space Emperor Posted by: gp at September 08, 2026 03:58 PM (Jr5Lq) 131

Posted by: Oldcat He did. And then he lived "legally" in the United States for nearly 20 years under a status known as "withholding of removal." What is Withholding of Removal? Withholding of removal is a specific form of immigration relief. It is different from standard asylum or a green card. No Deportation to Home Country: The government promises not to send you back to a country where you face persecution or torture. Work Authorization: People with this status can apply for a yearly work permit and get a social security number. No Path to Citizenship: You cannot get a green card, become a U.S. citizen, or travel outside the United States. Third-Country Risks: The government can legally try to deport you to a different third country if one accepts you, though doing so is rare. -- And this is probably a bigger problem in the US than we realize.

very few places allow non-citizens to vote in local elections: "Washington, D.C.; San Francisco and Oakland (school-board elections); several Vermont municipalities; and a number of Maryland municipalities."
Posted by: Oglebay at September 08, 2026 04:04 PM (2ap+5) _________________________ I was curious about this a couple of months ago, and found similar information. There is a town down in Maryland that has allowed non-citizens to vote in local elections since 1992. The town was Takoma Park, Maryland. NOW HERE'S THE RUB. That is the ONLY town where the residents voted that into the Charter. EVERY single other town or municipality that does it didn't allow their residents to vote on it. They just declared it.

the most amusing way to attack a leftist is to do it from the left.
One of the keys to understanding the left is that they live in fear and misery. Those shots of them screaming and crying and wailing in their cars etc, that's their life. They feel a huge burden of hopeless disaster, that they are fighting alone against the ultimate evil, that they are the rebels against the evil Empire, that they are the oppressed other skulking through ruins while being hunted by hateful puritans who want to lynch them while burning them in a church and chaining them to a sink barefoot and perpetually pregnant etc. I grew up afraid of nuclear war, it genuinely affected my mood and hopes of the future: none. Finally I got over and but it was a dark veil over all of my life. I know what they feel like, and its pathetic. Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at September 08, 2026 04:33 PM (K32Fz) 275

It's the hallmark of the modern left, that they are offended that anyone would deign to use their own brain and cogitate, and utilize deductive or inductive reasoning. One might well arrive at the wrong conclusions, you see. This is not tolerable.
This is a huge change from even 20 or 25 years ago, maybe. You are allowed to choose sides, even encouraged. But you have to stay within the lines. Repeat slogans, thought ending cliches. Virtue signaling. It is all very circular now, tautologies on steroids. "We're good people, because we believe the good things". And you're a bad person, who believes all the wrong things. Now they also generally believe there is no such thing as objective reality or proofs. Everything is subjective. So they are reduced to claiming "There is no right or wrong." just different. But they - surprise! - are always right, about everything. It's the amazing self-licking ice-cream cone. They've painted themselves into a corner long ago, and it's getting a lot less crowded in thar, because people reflexively cannot abide all those contradictions and absurdities.

Just like the Real Victims of the conquests of Spain, Constantinople, and the Balkans were the Muslims.Making it all about you, and not even hiding it. Obviously far-right racists. There is no reason to think that there is an intense anti-American, anti-Western, and anti-Jewish strain in Islam, except, you know, for all the terrorist attacks and constant verbal attacks on the west. But other than that -- no evidence. Must be racism. Note there are no numbers mentioned here. "Muslims" -- no number given -- "were killed in attacks." "A number of mosques" were damaged in fires. How many? Not many at all, or else you'd tell us the numbers. By the way, a lot of churches are burning lately and the media doesn't seem to think that's a sign of rising ant-Christian animus. Now comes the media's "Bush was a good man tryin' his best but Trump is a monster turn:" But Muslim leaders described a notable shift when President Donald Trump launched his presidential campaign in 2015. He initiated what became known as the "Muslim ban" during his first term and has taken similar action since returning to office. Federal authorities have arrested and sought to deport pro-Palestinian activists, actions that judges have deemed a First Amendment violation."Activists." Members of the Muslim Brotherhood openly calling for violence against Jews and Americans. Really? Muslims feel they can't fully express themselves on campus? We've seen Jews beaten by Muslims on campus. They want to "express themselves" further than that? There's a single incident of Muslims being "taunted with bacon." How many incidents are there of non-Muslims being taunted with bullets and explosives? Stephen Kruiser: The number of Americans who are dishonoring those killed by Islamic terrorists on Sept. 11, 2001 is tragic and abominable. This is from a VIP post Catherine wrote over the weekend:My colleague Robert Spencer, an expert in Islamic history and modern jihad movements, says that there have been 49,000 Islamic jihad attacks since the 9/11 attacks in 2001. And yet only 25 years after those attacks, with nearly 50,000 terrorist incidents attributable to Islam in the time period, New York has a Muslim mayor and Americans in all 50 states claim to support Palestinian terrorists. We even have U.S. administrations funding jihadi regimes and removing terror designations from Syrian mass murderers. It's insane.Insane and heartbreaking. There was a brief time of unity back in 2001 that has been followed up by a quarter-century of American leftists being apologists for Islam. They're either rabid supporters of jihadi murderers or dealing with a case of mass denial the likes of which has never been seen in history. The leftists' responses to Islamic terror attacks have become routine sick jokes. We're constantly told that motives are "unclear" when "Allahu Akbar!" was the last thing people heard before they were killed. If you're sane and mention that there just might be a pattern, they all start barking "Timothy McVeigh" like trained seals.

We had three Muslims at my high school when I was a senior in 02...there was one girl who got expelled because she "forged" her mom's signature on a permission slip to compete in a math Olympiad. Her dad was against her going because it was a coed overnight trip to baton rouge. But the hotel rooms were single sex and divided by floors. I felt so sorry for her. I still feel like her mom signed it but denied it when her dad found out.

I hope it makes the American Muslim community nervous. They should self-deport now back to their Muslim countries of origin, before we have to start playing "Cowboys and Muslims."

Now, 25 years after the attacks, Muslims across the country are asking the same question as they experience rising Islamophobia and concerns about their First Amendment right to religious freedom.
I would beg to differ. There is no such thing as secularism with Islam. Because of poorly understood and misinterpreted 1A rulings, Christians have had to erect a wall between the secular and the sacred. Islam is a religion/cult, a culture and more.

A far stronger version social and political ostracizing than the black community has had for not voting Democrat. And that is effective enough that blacks have voted 85-90 percent en bloc for Democrats since at least the LBJ era. And Labour UK is finding out that when giving a choice between a full blown Muslim or one posing as a moderate candidate for Labour, Muslim majority districts will go for the uncloaked candidate.

------ Try putting gold against dollars for the last 30 years. Stash in the mattress. It's an alternative currency, or currency speculation, not an investment. A bet against the dollar, in historical terms. A losing bet for a long time, though not in recent decades. Dollar holders have been "lucky" for a long time, gold has been making record advances in other currencies for a very long time. Dollars used to be the currency par excellence. Better than gold, really. I remember street vendors in Cambodia bitching at me because a $20 bill had a corner that was folded over. WTF? They like their US greenbacks nice and crisp and pristine.

Posted by: Elric The Blade ====== Predicting the future is a tricky thing. Some of the Muzloids will be departing due to being here illegally. Some will commit crimes and be deported. Others will find out that when the welfare and Learing center money runs out, that their marginal competency for holding a janitorial position doesn't give them the standard of living they desire. And a lot hinges on 2028. The card that Trump and Co are holding close to the chest is how much Qatar and Muzloid Muslim Brotherhood groups like CAIR, etc. have been doing illegal shit behind the scenes like buying influencers without undertaking the FARA limits and buying colleges. I think the tide is running out in Diversity INC and that includes patience for foreign invaders of all sorts. The only question is whether it will be peaceable or violent.

I like the sentiment, but how did that case turn out? Were all communists subsequently expelled from the USA?
Posted by: gp ========= Case came out okay. And that phrase along with Congress nearly passing the Bricker Amendment in the late 50's put an end to the Warren Court coddling commies. And the issue back then was primarily foreign pieces of shit out to influence our politics. Unless you plan Air Pinochet with its risks and benefits, domestic commies can't really be dealt with.

9/11 had many victims that weren't in the towers:
Something that no one talks about: The 9/11 attacks destroyed public education in this country. Public education died 25 years ago. Bush’s presidency before 9/11 was focused heavily on domestic policy, especially education. After 9/11, national security consumed the administration...9/11 helped create the bipartisan environment that passed NCLB, but the War on Terror eventually diverted enormous attention and resources away from domestic education policy. NCLB put the onus of student achievement on the teacher. The tenet was that if teachers tailored the lesson well enough, all students could learn equally. It just doesn’t work like that. False premise, false promise. Yes, but have you considered the effect on army recruitment if everyone was educated to a high standard and taught critical thinking skills and objective reasoning? I would go a step further back than that and say Vietnam destroyed this country and education in this country Vietnam is where we started to become hyperpolarized hyper paranoid and then when 9/11 happened it kind of reactivate it all of that or accelerated it exponentially Posted by: Intercepted Reddit Transmissions brought by the Intrepid AoS Liaison at September 08, 2026 02:48 PM (PkrKm) 82

> Try putting gold against dollars for the last 30 years. Stash in the mattress. It's an alternative currency, or currency speculation, not an investment.
Here's my problem with gold as an investment or even as a doomsday hedge. If you buy "gold" stocks, you're leaving money on the table. $10K in gold in 1996 leaves you with ~$115K today. S&P 500 has you closer to $211K with dividends reinvested. If you're looking for a doomsday hedge, paper stocks are worthless. You have to have physical gold. The problem with physical gold is cashing out. In a non-doomsday scenario, you have to deal with coin shops who aren't going to give you spot prices. You're getting significantly worse. In a doomsday scenario, who knows if gold is valued? Probably? I'd be willing to bet liquor and bullets would have better liquidity. If you make it to the other side of doomsday and society recovers the gold will be valuable again. I think that's the best case scenario for gold. It's value-dense and easier to transport unless you have a lot of it. Posted by: bonhomme at September 08, 2026 02:51 PM (mkw2N) 96

"But Muslim leaders described a notable shift when President Donald Trump launched his presidential campaign in 2015. He initiated what became known as the "Muslim ban" during his first term and has taken similar action since returning to office."
See now, that really pisses me off. There was no Muslim ban. It never happened. Over 90% of Muslims worldwide were unaffected, because they don't live in the countries named. So, Liberals, if Hakeem Jefferies tells you tomorrow he has passed an assault weapons ban. But, what passed exempts more than 90% of whatever qualifies as an assault rifle. Then, clearly, Hypothetical Hakeem didn't ban assault weapons, and Trump didn't ban Muslims. It never happened. Posted by: Bilwis - Wizard of Clwyd at September 08, 2026 02:51 PM (r7+Q7) 99

It'll be funny if El-Sayed loses what Democrats previously consider to be a winnable race and the establishment starts making moves against the Islamization of the party, up to and including something like a primary challenge to Mamdani in 2029.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison They won't blame Muslims....that would be racist. They'll say he was too extreme, and try to use it as an excuse to purge/stifle the openly radical Left wing of the party in their civil war. Mamdani might not attend if he is publicly humiliated. People turning their backs on him in the midst of the ceremonies and having that portrayed on the media is a real possibility. That will be fine.

Catching up on ace's posts, just saw the women interviewed on the street outside the courthouse in the Clancy trial. WTH. All of them are fat & tatted and generally unpleasant looking. Ive tried initiating various conversations w friends and family over the years (my three sisters are very overweight so Ive tried walking on eggshells) regarding the weight and general appearance of women today. I'm 60. I have a 20 year old college attending daughter who I half raised (divorced), she's very attractive, but wears the frumpy clothing of a homeless bum - baggy pants, shirts five sizes too large and struggles with slight weight gains at the butt and legs. So chicken or egg here - is it a matter of self esteem w women that causes the lack of care in how they look or is something going on w what women are ingesting that causes them to feel low esteem when they just can't keep up w weight gains etc?

I went to the in-laws. They were making chicken and I wanted burgers. I brought a ten pack of patties, cheese, and buns because I'm considerate. My wife didn't approve of the cheese I bought, so I bought another kind of cheese. When it came time to make the burgers, I polled the crowd to see how many patties I needed to cook. I made exactly that number. Then when I told the crowd the burgers were ready, suddenly more people wanted burgers. I had to turn away some people and felt like a dick. I did let them know there were more patties, but they'd have to cook their own. I know I could have cooked all the patties, but I didn't sign up for that. I just wanted my own burger.

I think these are exactly the right questions. It's the answers you come up with that show your soul. If you say, "They will claim they did it for Islam, but that's wrong. They shouldn't claim this because Islam shouldn't be pushing this stuff", then there's hope for your particular group of Muslims. If you say, "It will all be lies because we never do that kind of stuff! It's always lies about Muslim terrorists!" then you're part of the problem.

Yes, fatness is quantifiable, if you can see good muscular and body definition, you are not fat, the more your general physical shape becomes akin to a donut, the fatter you are.

I'm 6'5". I'm aiming for 220lbs.
---- Right, but like I pointed out, you're an outlier for sure. My point is, for the vast majority of people, they need to keep it under 190. That's all. Everyone likes to think they are "special" and "unique" and somehow none of these things apply to them. I'm not trying to criticize, but when I realized I had to lose 70 pounds or so, I wasn't going to fuck around and take 15 years to do it. That would drive me crazy. Took about 8 months. Best thing I ever did for myself, most likely. Posted by: Common Tater at September 08, 2026 03:24 PM (+/Ezd) 236

Which religion would appeal to the sociopath, the psychopath, and the jailbird.
One that says repent for your sins and crimes, and work to be a better person, or- one that says commit all the rape, robbery, murder, and child molestation you want, just make sure your doing it too the right people, and then paradise is yours! But what about the grace alone people? YOU CAN'T EARN SALVATION!! Or even the Calvinists who say nobody has any choice at all. God wills you to be saved, or not. Good luck!

Muslims claiming to be aggrieved? Ask the Blacks who were shoved out of the head of the free shit line by the millions of Hispanics how they feel. Aggrieved.... ain't but the start of what the Blacks think about the Muslim invaders. The ethnic cleansing wars that seem to be on the horizon are going to be lit. Posted by: Martini Farmer at September 08, 2026 03:10 PM (2Cry5) Check out the demographics for Compton. In 1980, it was about 75% Black, 20% Hispanic, the remainder were White and Asian. 40 years later, it's now about 75% Hispanic, 25% Black, with virtually no Whites or Asians. Why? Illegal alien Hispanics moving there was part of it, but in the early 2000s, there was a nasty underground racial war being fought in Compton by Black and Hispanic gangs that the Black population lost. They didn't just lose, they got their asses kicked. Ethnic cleansing in the US with not a single White face being involved. Posted by: IllTemperedCur at September 08, 2026 03:29 PM (y9nCu) 250

Yeah, I think both sides tend to miss the mark on this one. Some people say nobody has any idea. Others say they know the exact date. I believe the better interpretation is yes, we don't know the date or the hour, but we can watch the signs and know the season. See also the parable of the wise and foolish virgins. They both knew the approximate time of the bridegroom's arrival. One group was prepared and the other was not. But neither knew the exact time of arrival.

Which seems kind of Arian to me. How do we explain the seeming contradiction of a Triune God with one of His Persons having more omniscience than the other two? Posted by: Bulg ======= Different aspects. Remember that at the time Jesus said that, he was human and of the flesh. He had to be so he could die. Using your argument, how could God die then and still be part of the triune. Neither the Holy Spirit nor the Lord can 'die' so how could Jesus if he was part of the triune. If you assume different aspects of the triuine, then neither Jesus in the flesh who did not claim omniscience at that time nor his dying present a problem.

Blah blah blah.
These sandmaggots run wild time and again. "ALLAHU AKBAR DEATH TO YOUR CHRISTMAS PARADES, MUSIC FESTIVALS, AND CIVIL INSTITUTIONS," they scream, and then there's a bunch of explosions, gunfire, and/or vehicular homicides, and then their stump-ugly retard wives scream "LALULALULALU" through their fucked-up looking teeth. And time and again, we're treated to breathless editorials about why they hate us, and roots of terror, and compassionate conservatism, and invade the world, and invite the world - and that's the side that doesn't agitate actively against America, the West, and the Eternal Jew. If there's ever a backlash from civilized people against these barbaric savages I'll literally eat a hat. I'll buy a giant straw sombrero and boil it and eat it.

So if you live in a blue state and/or some blue cities in the US, sucks to be you because your governments are trying to keep illegals here. If you live in a lot of redstates, they aren't. So those in California notice little if no improvement and those in somewhere like Alabama, substantial improvement.
Posted by: whig at September 08, 2026 03:11 PM (E4rtv) The funny part is that Trump can claim 3M, and the blue states can't refute it because it exposes their evasion of immigration law. Just like in his first term all the fudging they did in the standard statistics to boost Obama served to make his economy seem super energized in comparison.
