There was a previous corona virus outbreak in the US/Europe in the 1800s that came from central Asia. The current descendant disease is labeled OC43. It is currently experienced as a flu like illness and amazingly I remember several researches found exposure to OC43 gives significant immune resistance to COVID19 but there was never any interest in leveraging that...

Posted by: JM in Illinois at July 29, 2026 10:06 AM (3gVjo) The Morning Report — 7/ 29 /26
Good morning kids. Lots of news to unpack this morning, especially the thoroughly unsurprising yet utterly disgusting revelations about Anthony Fauci courtesy of his little red book, that is his diary. It is not hyperbole to state that he has the blood of tens if not hundreds of thousands of people on his hands because of his direct actions in creating the COVID-19 virus for the Red Chinese and then unleashing it on the world in a lab that was in whole or in part funded by our taxpayer dollars. This horrid bastard will for sure be roasting in Hell one day, but likely will be untouched by our justice system, such as it is. As it turns out, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) is good for something after all. Just to recap, Paul obtained and released more than 1,100 pages of the private diaries Fauci kept between 2019 and 2022 as part of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee’s investigation into the federal government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic. You've probably seen by now that they contained a lot of Fauci fawning over himself and tracking his own celebrity, awards, and media coverage, as well as him saying some not so nice things about his critics.. . Then-Sen. Rubio was quite critical of many of Fauci's statements back then, particularly saying that there was no need for people to go around wearing masks. He also accused Fauci of distorting the percentage of the population that would require vaccinations to reach herd immunity. Fauci's response? He said he was being a "real a*****e."Speaking of Marco Rubio, Democrat election thievery as well as Democrat-fomented assassination attempts and political terrrorism notwithstanding, I think Marco Rubio stands a pretty good chance at becoming POTUS if not in this go round then perhaps 2032 or afterwards. His tenure as Secretary of State has been outstanding, the situation in Iran notwithstanding, although that situation really is on President Trump, and it is his to resolve despite the fact that he's dealing with dark age savages intent on unleashing armageddon on the world as the precursor to total Islamic conquest of the planet, But as for Rubio, under the aegis of Trump, he is on the cutting edge of helping transform the perpetually socialist Latin America into free-market America friendly nations. And as CBD and I discussed on the latest episode of the podcast (linked here and in the sidebar) Cuba might at long last be on the verge of if not at the very least have a shot at liberating itself as the tropical paradise caribbean gulag that it has been condemned to suffer for 67 years. It seems that Rubio and Trump are making the moves to see that come to fruition. The truth is it's a complicated process. This isn't Venezuela. We likely won't have a clean and tidy(-ish) ending to the regime. You can't just take out one guy, neutralize his cronies, cut off their revenue stream, and start over with Marco Rubio in charge. The Cuban regime is older, more decentralized, and designed to withstand such moves. The power lies within the Communist Party, the military’s economic empire (GAESA), and a deep security apparatus. There's also the media problem. The number of MSM fake news stories from anonymous sources about Cuba is exhausting, and it drives me insane how many prominent people report on them or share them as if they are fact. For example, for a while, there was this idea that the Trump administration's goal for liberating Cuba was the end of this year. It was fun to buy into, and I didn't find it all that outlandish pre-Iran, but Rubio put a stop to that kind of talk last week when speaking to the press.Well, as the President himself is wont to say, we'll just have to wait and see. Look how far we've come from "Little Marco" to perhaps being his most trusted and effective ally. As for Iran, this just underscores who and what we're dealing with. Both men were convicted on charges stemming from clashes that Iranian authorities say resulted in the deaths of four security officers. Human rights groups say the men were sentenced after proceedings marred by allegations of torture, forced confessions, and closed-door trials. The executions stem from the nationwide uprising that began in late December after a currency collapse, soaring inflation, and worsening living conditions sparked protests across Iran. Iranian regime forces responded with a sweeping crackdown that included internet shutdowns, mass arrests, and the widespread use of lethal force. . . Videos shared by Iran International showed residents gathering overnight in hopes of stopping the executions before authorities dispersed the crowd.We've long hoped and prayed that something might ignite the spark that at long last lets the Iranian people take to the streets and directly take on the regime, or gives those within the security services the ability to turn on their overlords and join the people. At this point, it's a pipe dream but that's what the Ceaucescus thought as they were hoisted up on a lamp post not all that long ago. And who knew that Mick Jagger and Keith Richards were Mullahs (here they whip the women round about midnight)... ¡Cuba Libre, Iran Libre! And most importantly AMERICA LIBRE!!!!!! You’d think socialism’s 100-plus-year record of failure would be enough to dissuade people from embracing tenets that led to the horrors of Venezuela, Cuba, North Korea, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, etc. But hope springs eternal, apparently. (And, just for the record, despite what Bernie Sanders says, the Nordic countries are not socialist. Denmark, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Norway come in seventh, eighth, 10th, and 11th, respectively, in the Heritage Foundation’s Index of Economic Freedom. Switzerland comes in second place. The U.S. ranks 22nd.) What’s even more unfathomable is why Democrats have such a positive view of the DSA when they reject many of its central positions. Have a good day,

Morning, all.
I expect absolutely nothing from today's episode of DC Bukkake Theatre. Fauci won't so much as get his hair mussed. I guarantee one or most of these responses from him: 1. I don't remember. 2. I plead the Fifth (or not; I'm told he can't). 3. That's your interpretation. 4. I did the best I could with the knowledge at the time. 5. The diaries are fake. 6. I'm being quoted out of context. 7. The Sideshow Bob defense (you NEED me, America). 8. America couldn't handle the truth!

Mamdami's grocery store plan is beyond stupid and doomed to fail. I live in the South Bronx, so I know.
The plan is to put one large store in each borough. In The Bronx, it'll be over in Hunts Point which is four miles from me. The stores will have limited offerings, and only promise deep discounts on a few items. Now here's the thing: Most South Bronx residents don't have cars. That's why they use bodegas. They're not going to schlepp without a car to save a dollar on a gallon of milk. You could make the milk free and they still wouldn't go. That's why they use bodegas.

Well, China is now officially in the game with backing and supplying the IRGC with weapons, cash and supplies. Probably happening for a while now but it's out in the open and they aren't hiding it. That's probably not a good sign.
Trump, again, caved on escalation of bombing power plants and such....then did the cease fire thing again, allowing China unfettered access to flood Iran with material for war. Now Iran has the means to continually strike Gulf states and that includes our bases. We also haven't figured out drone defense to a large degree. And Trump is begging for a deal and an off ramp. Not gonna happen, in for a penny in for a pound. Let's hope he doesn't fall for the ground troops trick. Reordering global energy markets? Good. Screwing with China and setting them back in that regard? Good Gulf States turning on Iran? Good. Everything else? Catostrophic. At least Lindsey Graham got his war before he passed.

The survey underscores broad public backing for election integrity measures. These findings make congressional Democrat obstruction of the SAVE America Act in Congress even less tenable, considering that a clear majority of the party’s supporters back election integrity measures, including voter ID.
Name one Democrat who'll lose their position due to their opposition to SAVE. I can't say that any of the Republican incumbents who've lost their offices are due, specifically, to that but Cornyn could have saved himself if only his comrades had preferred to keep him in the Senate over continuing to permit election fraud.

Mamdami's grocery store plan is beyond stupid and doomed to fail. I live in the South Bronx, so I know.
What Mamdami is saying is that he and his tribe of misfit blue hairs and third world savages in suits think that they know how to run a grocery chain better than an established grocery chains that already runs on tight margins. They get to learn about establishing a supply chain, handling multiple vendors, distribution centers, union rules, staffing, shoplifting, rotation of product, regulation and health code compliance, building maintenance, covering utility, insurance and taxes from cash flow. Essentially they will hire according to DEI totem pole, will have deadbeats and entitled bureaucrats in shop aprons and we see a repeat of the empty shelves, rats and filth that accompany every other attempt of command and control economies.

Says Reuters. Denied by every intel agency. Think of who would benefit from floating that narrative. Then you will find the source. Most MANPADS have unique signatures. Imagine one launching against our combat aircraft, and what a shitstorm that would produce. China has a very small interest in propping up Iran. It’s mostly devoted to spreading out our forces so we can’t concentrate on them. That’s not worth the confrontation that supplying those weapons would produce.

Good morning, friends, and as always, thank you J.J. for pulling this together for us. I am positive Fauci believes he was doing the right thing, even on the side of the angels. His ends justified his means, his hubris overshadowed truth. It is more scary to me that he was unable to see how awful he was over someone who knew what they were doing was wrong but did it anyway. He should be hung from the gallows, but we have a legal system, not a justice system. We can at least hang on to the fact his whole motivation was being seen as a savior, and that has been completely ripped away from him. He will be remembered as a small, tiny, ugly man whose legacy is evil, not the canonized version he imagined himself to be in history books.

Hey Rip Van Winkle, we have "progressed" from a legal system to a "court" system where Rule of Law and any form of recognized jurisprudence is optional. One day you might get Sharia. Another day you get Toddler Ethics. Another day you get shrieking rage and score settling. Another day you get "I don't give a fuck". You hope that your day before the magistrate is Magic Eight Ball.

Thank you JJ
I’ve become very impatient with Trump’s approach on Iran. I am, quite frankly, tired of the hollow threats and talk of “deals”… the whole notion of any deal with these savages is ridiculous. My advice (for what it’s worth which is probably not much): Stop talking. Stop talking. Blockade and bomb. Targeted leadership decapitation strikes if you have the intel. Bridges. Power plants. That last nuclear site that I just heard about that inexplicably we haven’t already hit. Bomb military infrastructure into rubble then make the rubble bounce. Lather. Rinse. Repeat. IOW, quit fucking around. Probably a good thing I’m not in charge… Posted by: LinusVanPelt at July 29, 2026 08:10 AM (+gA9j) 96

__ I admire your charitable take on this. I am somewhat more cynical.

In those cases, he sided with his own financial and celebrity interests. That was a conscious and deliberate choice, and he knew what he was doing.

Fauci's relentless push for gain of function research, even when it was shot down by the DoD and others, is what led to research being done in Wuhan. He knew as soon as he saw the design of the virus where it came from and he knew he was ultimately at least partially responsible.
It was obvious from day 1 the virus didn't come from a pangolin getting in on with a bat in a wet market, Fauci knew it didn't and said so in his diary, but he continued to lie to the world to protect himself. And it all spiraled from there. Posted by: JackStraw at July 29, 2026 08:15 AM (viF8m) 115

But, he's certainly making some odd decisions like palling around with Ol' Tucky Tuckerson. I'm beginning to think that he's finally figured out that whoever follows Trump in office will have to have the same will of iron to get things done, because enemies are all-around and will feel freer to act once Trump no longer has the Presidency. It will be a tough 8 years and he has young kids. That may be the deciding factor because it's unlikely he'll get to spend a lot of time with them. And, a 'kinder, gentler Trump" won't fly in those circumstances. But, eh, we'll see. Posted by: naturalfake at July 29, 2026 08:17 AM (iJfKG) 126

If you read his diaries, which are very candid, he never says “this is wrong, I shouldn’t, but the cash…” or “I have concerns with the efficacy and we should stop to look at data objectively” . He did make many conscious decisions, but he never thought those decisions were wrong, or unethical. The man solicited prizes and awards, but never once did he think that might be sketchy. He believed he was right. He never thought earning money from this would be unethical. I don’t know that he has any ethics, beyond those he created and those ethics are frightening.

The diaries themselves are evidence of his hubris- he wrote them on government computers. He chronicled what he did every day, there was not consideration for it being a potential exhibit A. It was more a potential, here history book writers, I made this so easy for you! I am sure he saved all of this and brought it home when he retired.

>>If I were President, absolutely not.
Me neither. And Trump has always been against endless ground wars in the Middle East. So he's trying a different route using strategic strikes that are increasing in intensity and economic strangulation instead. Will it work? Remains to be seen. But I don't think Trump acted foolishly and nothing Iran has done since the start of this leads me to believe if they had gotten nukes they wouldn't have used them to threaten the world, control the Strait or worse, use them.

The truth is it's a complicated process. This isn't Venezuela. We likely won't have a clean and tidy(-ish) ending to the regime.
------ ??? There was no end to the Communist regime in Venezuela, clean & tidy, or otherwise. The regime is still completely in control of Venezuela. It's just been brought to heel for the time being. That's not a bad outcome, but why would anyone write that? It's statements like those that make me wonder about ConInc media. Do they think their readers are so retarded they'll just believe anything and say "yep, there was regime change in VZ?" Or are they the retarded ones, because they're the right wing version of Ben Rhodes' vaunted echo chamber, and believe whatever *they're* being told to say? Is it both?

“These are people who have opened restaurants, they’ve opened other businesses, they’ve rehabbed houses, they’ve created jobs, as well as filled jobs. And so to lose them and have them not be able to work anymore and possibly taken out of this country is frankly a blow to Springfield, and it’s a blow to the state of Ohio,” he said. And how have Springfield's residents fared, governor? What? Haven't heard you talk about them yet. As far as them having "opened restaurants, they’ve opened other businesses, they’ve rehabbed houses, they’ve created jobs," yeah, because we've since learned they were given priority over citizens for SBA loans, housing, etc..

Would you have allowed Iran to get nuclear capable weapons that could reach Europe and soon the US mainland or tried to stop them?
Europe didn't seem to care. In fact: European powers tried to create a special payment system called INSTEX in 2019 to bypass U.S. sanctions and keep trade alive with Iran in 2015 with the JCPOA, the EU sprinted to work deals with Iran. In 2018, Trump threatened EU to stop or that the EU would lose access to the US's financial system. So Europe never had any fear of Iran lobbing nukes in their direction. EU's only fear was pissing off Trump. Once Trump leaves office, the EU is going right back in to Iran to do business as usual. Posted by: Community Notes at July 29, 2026 08:50 AM (rgGn5) 223

Posted by: no one of any consequence at July 29, 2026 08:57 AM (qFwJc) Doesn't matter. I suspect that it wouldn't be retracted even if Biden testified that he neither signed it nor authorized the use of the autopen. Posted by: I used to have a different nic at July 29, 2026 08:59 AM (ExV1e) 256
It's a challenge to make a legal case on complicated matters solely using paper. It helps enormously to have a live witness connect the dots on the paper.
In Fauci's case, his diary serves as the live witness. Hoist meet petard. Surfer Girl Tulsi dropped NSA-sourced evidence on Fauci when she left. He's not the only one. Developing ...

Well at least the current attempt at a cease fire only lasted 4 days before it fell apart. In case anyone wondered, this is what Iran does with any time to rest given by ceasefires:
“ Reuters: Iran is expected to receive the first shipment in the coming weeks (from China) in a deal to purchase hundreds of shoulder-fired air defense missiles, as part of its preparations for the possibility of renewed fighting. According to the report, Tehran and Beijing are exploring options for transporting the shipment by land, including additional military shipments, to reduce the chance of the shipment being intercepted.” Posted by: Tom Servo at July 29, 2026 09:08 AM (y4wXR) 282

You can't just remove that supply of oil from the world supply and have it not have an affect. What is not being reported nearly enough is that while this is happening the Middle East is being reordered. The Saudis are now actively attacking Iran and so are others.

Everyone who said Fauci can't plead the fifth because reasons..... Do you like apples?
Because Fauci is pleading the fifth. How about them apples? Posted by: Our Country is Screwed at July 29, 2026 09:18 AM (N39Ws) Which, as Rand Paul stated, is illegal. Reading "he can't plead the fifth" as a physical inability is pedantic, but if you need it rephrased, 'it's illegal for him to plead the fifth.' Nothing will happen, but it's still illegal.

It's not a toss aside as you imply here.
This thing with Iran is REALLY pissing people off because it's forcing them, yet again, to change their lives to afford regular things. It's no small deal. Posted by: Sponge - F*ck Cancer at July 29, 2026 09:17 AM (2YhKe) I agree with you completely on that, always have. Which is why I have always been opposed to any ceasefires or extended negotiations. I believe that because of the nature of the regime, these attempts are all guaranteed to fail, and that pursuing them only guarantees that this conflict will still be going on during the midterm elections. We’ve been conditioned to think that it’s crude and simplistic to think that winning is the only acceptable option; yet I believe that, through circumstances not of our own choosing, we are stuck in exactly that scenario right now.

No, but you are implying blowing up Iran won't cause higher gas prices. It will. If we could fill the gap from oil disruptions that large we wouldn't have higher gas prices now.
Posted by: JackStraw at July 29, 2026 09:19 AM (viF8m) Not in the slightest. Especially now, we ALL know Iran controls a lot of the eastern world's oil. We aren't doing enough HERE to offset that, but that's a different conversation. The midterms aren't going to be as strong for the R's because of this war, the price of fuel and the significant cost of living increase. The longer it drags on, the worse it will be. The communists are seizing the opportunity. Posted by: Sponge - F*ck Cancer at July 29, 2026 09:24 AM (2YhKe) 345
Morning, Horde. I think my biggest source of wrath towards Fauci is that he appears to be a completely unrepentant sociopath - he doesn't think there's anything wrong with what he did, and besides, it got him accolades, so how can it be wrong?
McConnell... has only ever coincidentally done things that we wanted. Like most of that crew of reprobate and ne'er-do-wells. Marco, well... like many of you, I like what I'm seeing these days. I hope it's deep and sincere. Iran sanctions: Europe has always seen sanctions as a polite fiction. They'll say, "Well, our government of course complies" while winking and nudging every company in their country to make private deals with the sanctions targets. Because they want that sweet sweet blackmarket markup? IDK. Posted by: RandomDave (if you can spare a bit, please click) at July 29, 2026 09:24 AM (aJQbY) 346

I have no idea what will happen to Fauci, but if he isn't held accountable in this life it is my belief that he will be in the next.
I am also glad that I am not Fauci. Despite being very wealthy, I would not want to be in the position of having to have armed guards all the time because so many people are angry at me. Trump has the same deal, but he was not responsible for so much hurt and anger because of Covid lockdowns and the death of millions. I believe at some point Fauci said " I don't need religion because I have by own moral framework" or something like that . Yeah, great framework you have there, Anthony.

>>The midterms aren't going to be as strong for the R's because of this war, the price of fuel and the significant cost of living increase.
And literally everyone knows this including Trump, JD and Marco. And they are all in on doing it this way. Could they be wrong? Sure. But their judgement so far has earned some trust with me. If my biggest sacrifice is temporary higher gas prices to end the Iranian threat after 50 year without yet another full on war in the Middle East that always produces unforeseen consequences I'll take that deal.

Above, 'A blow to the state of Ohio.'
AI Overview, just Edu. While the state did not scale up its workforce as a whole, specific cities experiencing rapid population growth from legally present immigrant & refugee communities were forced to hire specialized staff: Springfield City School District: Due to an influx of Haitian families, the district used pandemic-relief funds to hire about two dozen English as a Second Language (ESL) teachers and multiple Haitian-Creole interpreters to accommodate hundreds of new students. Columbus and Urban Hubs: Districts with high newcomer populations have actively tried to recruit multilingual instructors. However, these efforts are often restricted by complex certification rules for immigrant educators, making rapid scale-ups difficult. Rather than creating unique roles, schools scale up existing positions. The state employs an estimated 43,000 immigrants within its broader education services sector. School districts independently hire ESL (English as a Second Language) teachers, Bilingual Assistants, and International Student Liaisons to manage language gaps, but these positions serve all non-native speakers regardless of legal status.

No, but you are implying blowing up Iran won't cause higher gas prices. It will. If we could fill the gap from oil disruptions that large we wouldn't have higher gas prices now.
Posted by: JackStraw at July 29, 2026 09:19 AM (viF8m) ------------ Iranian oil supply to the world market was about 3 million barrels a day last year, a small amount easily made up from other suppliers, including us. So blowing up Iran would have nearly a zero impact on gas prices. But Iran choking off the flow through Hormuz, of oil, natgas, and fertilizer feedstocks, now that has an impact.

Posted by: Huck Follywood at July 29, 2026 09:51 AM (M/TSA) Thank you - the idea that we can’t touch Iran’s oil industry is a straw man argument because: A) it by itself is not that big a part of world production, and B) we have no strategic need to do it, so long as they’re not able to sell it. The Iranian effort to block Saudi, Kuwaiti, and other middle eastern oil supplies from the market is what is damaging. Ending That, and achieving full control over the straits, is what MUST be done in order for lower oil prices to come about. Iran is holding world oil prices hostage. You never get your hostages back by meekly negotiating with the hostage takers. Posted by: Tom Servo at July 29, 2026 09:59 AM (y4wXR) 429

When I last visited were going underground. Maybe we can rise above that:
Minneapolis, MN, USA – Skyway System: ~9.5–10+ miles connecting 80+ blocks and 150+ buildings, mostly at the 2nd (sometimes 3rd) floor. Links offices, retail, restaurants, hotels, sports venues, and some residences. One of the largest continuous systems; public during business hours. Calgary, Canada – +15 (Plus 15) Walkway: 16 km with 86 bridges connecting ~130 buildings. Roughly 15 feet above street level (some +30/+45 levels). Climate-controlled public network linking downtown offices, retail, and services. KAFD (King Abdullah Financial District), Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – KAFD Skyway Network: 15.46 km continuous with 42 skywalks connecting 95 buildings. Elevated, fully climate-controlled mixed-use system (offices, residences, retail, hospitality, entertainment) designed as a compact “city within a city.” Hong Kong – Central Elevated Walkway + city-wide footbridges: Extensive multi-level network across Central, Admiralty, Sheung Wan and beyond. Typically at podium levels (1st–3rd/4th floors). Dense three-dimensional public realm connecting malls, offices, hotels, MTR stations, ferries, and public spaces. Posted by: meh at July 29, 2026 05:04 AM (zZxsY) 29
Des Moines, IA, USA – Skywalk System: ~4 miles connecting 55 buildings and ~40 blocks. Climate-controlled elevated pathways linking buildings, parking, and event centers.
Winnipeg, Canada – Notable skywalk/skyway system (smaller scale than Calgary or Minneapolis). Rochester, MN, USA – Skyway system (notable but smaller). Cedar Rapids, IA, USA – Skyway system (notable but smaller). Cincinnati, OH, USA – Skywalk system (notable but smaller). Raffles City Chongqing, China – “The Crystal” skybridge system: Massive ~300 m horizontal structure connecting multiple towers at high elevation (around the 42nd-floor / ~250 m range). Links residential, commercial, hotel, and public elements; includes ticketed public skywalk/observation experiences. Petronas Twin Towers, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia – Two-story skybridge at floors 41–42 (170 m up). Ticketed public access primarily for observation and views.

It's Woden's Day again, the last of July this year.
In the story about Claud Opus, one of the responses was a reference to Jorge Luis Borges, "When the Map Becomes the Territory." That sounds familiar, though I have read very little of Borges.

Last night I dreamed about being a Clifton Webb-like college professor with a young female graduate student who seemed to find me fascinating. A college database platform was being phased out. There was a deadline to enter an online contest before the platform vanished to win an all-expenses paid trip to somewhere I didn't find interesting . . . except that said female grad student was encouraging me strongly to enter the contest (it was, conveniently, a trip for two).
The details are blurry, except the college seemed to be located in a 1970s mall, and the graduate student was a blonde. I guess that's enough to go on. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at July 29, 2026 05:53 AM (wzUl9) Posted by: Pixy Misa at July 29, 2026 05:54 AM (BLOW1) 65

The only out of the ordinary restaurant I've ever been in was the rotating one at the top of the International Trade Mart Building at the foot of Canal Street. A posh sort of restaurant, it rotated very slowly so that over an hour or so, you got a 360-degree view of the flatness of the city. The building's been closed since Katrina, more than twenty years now -- though there were once plans to make it into a hotel & apartment complex.

That’s an expensive bale of hay. Trucking cost keeps the hay business pretty local.
Posted by: Pete Bog at July 29, 2026 06:27 AM (AyKqk) 91
That is why I feed cubed. $ 20 for a 50lb bag and no waste as with baled. I feed 18 lbs per horse per day with no waste and no other feed needed.

Listening to this geneticist from Harvard, Nathaniel Jeanson, who has managed to genetically trace everything (all of us) back to the three sons of Noah and rhyme it with historical events and the Bible.
That's the hiccup he's a creationist and he's so wrapped up in proving the 6000 yr time line that he kills the presentation. He kills the story. He makes what could be a most attractive Bible and plain historical narrative into an irritating jumble. I don't know how he keeps students.

The 65 # is a better value for sure but a weight that a lot of us women struggle with handling. Many of the hay farmers use bale barons to stack hay and straw into 21 bale bundles due to lack of labor and 45-50# create a nice bundle they can pack into closed semi trailers. And are manageable for the older women here who have horses or boarding barns. It’s tough to find strong kids willing to stack hay.

Newsom is widely expected to launch a 2028 presidential campaign after terming out of the governor’s office next year. In that context, he has sought to fully own his role in the affair, which he recounted in his memoir earlier this year.

Check out this video from Twista Hunterz on Facebook ----- Big day for Dr. Fauci tomorrow. Will he show up? If so, will he actually answer any questions? ![]() Guy sure is full of himself
Cootermogging is a fresh internet slang blend of "cooter" (crude slang for female genitals) and "mogging" (looksmaxxing term for dominating or outshining someone in physical appeal). It describes a woman delivering talking points while using overtly sexual body language or presentation—tight clothes, open legs, suggestive poses—to capture and dominate male attention. Coined yesterday about a viral conservative influencer clip.Not gonna post the video in question here. But feel free to check out this post from "allan" on X to get the backstory. ----- Thomas Massie can be asshoe a lot of the time, but I think he's correct with this idea. Not sure of the specifics of his bill, but Flock cameras are VERY much asshoe! New Massie bill aims to block federal funds from cities, police that use controversial Flock Safety cameras Rep. Thomas Massie is introducing a bill to strip federal funding from any local governments or police departments that deploy controversial Flock Safety security cameras, the Kentucky Republican announced on Saturday. Flock Safety, the Atlanta-based company behind the controversial smart-cameras that can track a car based on its dents, bumper stickers and roof racks, is now the target of new legislation being sponsored by the Libertarian congressman in an effort to strengthen the Fourth Amendment, which protects against unreasonable searches and government surveillance. *** Flock has quietly become law enforcement’s go-to surveillance tool around the country and has already wired itself into more than 5,000 police agencies nationwide with nearly 90,000 cameras since 2018, according to DeFlock, an activist group tracking the company’s surveillance and expansion. Seriously, there is an outrageous amount of overreach with all of these cameras everywhere. Here's an example from Phoenix
The elected officials who authorize this stuff don't like it when the tables are turned
Read more about Flock at this post on X So what is Flock? FLOCK: 100,000+ plate cameras bolted to poles across America. They read your plate everywhere you drive and never forget. NOVA: Flock's AI that turns your plate into you. Your name, address, family, everyone you know, in seconds, no warrant. SIGNALTRACE: a competitor's tool that tracks the Bluetooth off your phone, your AirPods, your watch. Doesn't even need your plate. Then I followed the money and the lead investor behind Flock also funds an Israeli company that can hack cameras and change the footage. Another lead investor backs a 911 app that flips on your phone's camera and mic. Trace it all the way back and you hit a former Israeli prime minister and Jeffrey Epstein's money.

I'm a retired IT guy, and I cannot figure out what all the Data Center capacity is going to be used for.
Even AI, which is a very risky bet at this point, would not need anywhere near the capacity that THIRD PARTY vendors are building in these data centers. So... as nothing is slow now, why the Yuge need for increase in capacity, being funded by third party capital? Only thing I can think of for that amount of capacity, is things like the need to be able to parse things like the Flock Cameras... and of course, going to virtual money (which, we already pretty much have).

When we lived in SC the neighbors across the street had a beautiful magnolia tree in their front yard. It was the largest one we had ever seen. Their kids came over one day and told us their mom was going to have it removed because she could not see everything on her Ring camera. The street was not a thru street. She had an estimate for the removal and it was costly so she had her husband out on a ladder cutting off the branches. He butchered it. Mostly old people like us living there, lol.

Somebody has to answer the customer support line. Its either AI or "Bobby" from a village near Bangalore. I work with AI planning agents for about 80% of my day and have replaced teams of a dozen or so Indians. Even with some of the going off the reservation that GPT 5.4 will do, the product is far better than the low craftsmanship slop that was generated by contractors. That said, most work can be done by simpler models that can be hosted on-prem. Once the novelty wears off and people realize that we don't need even a fraction of the generative AI that is LLMs there ought to be a slackening. Also, China is lapping the world in commodity LLM work. Not yet in the frontier tier, but soon will be if the pace of the IP theft and government involvement continues.

Private equity [think Romney's Bane Capital as a model] is buying up businesses like orthodontists and bowling alleys because the investment companies can make money from borrowing low and buying real companies that they can strip money out of.
That model too is breaking as DOGE cuts are chopping off the NGO grifters who are benefiting from the Cantillon Effect where they can, through entities like Bane Capital, buy up companies with pre-inflation dollars, then hold on to these assets and get a paper win for when the trillion or three annual unbacked dollars get blasted into the system through NGOs, Fraud and other money laundering vectors.

Fannie Mane and Freddie Mac investors waiting for justice!
https://tinyurl.com/9r98tt25 Posted by: Braenyard - some Absent Friends are more equal than others _ at July 28, 2026 10:38 PM (AJWch) There are some arguments out there that releasing Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac from receivership will cut a lot of the outright fraud out of the home financing, and lower actual costs because of it. It may also exclude commercial investors from the market since that finance system was set up to help individual home buyers, not corporations that want to buy homes for re-renting. It may also exclude enabling home loans to H1B and illegals who apparently have less stringent FATCA obligations from normie citizens.

I know several people that are not going to die and turn over 2 million or so.
Even Matt Walsh was proposing a system where lets say a guy with $5MM and low expenses gives his son an advance on the inheritance to buy a home now, saving his spawn the costs of rent or paying interest on a mortgage. To me, this is setting up a classic Prodigal Son scenario where the son buys the house from the advance, his wife divorces him and kicks him out of the house, and he returns home to sponge off dad.

Finally, the video of the Flock camera with the traffic ticket appeared. I have a comment, but admit I haven’t had to do this myself… Traffic cameras are operated by third parties. The Constitution dictates that you have a right to face your accuser in court. Most don’t want the hassle, but go to court. You will find that you have no accuser to face. Generally, case dismissed. Unless there has been some subversive law passed, that allows video (erroneous, I’d always contend!) that allows the camera as a proxy to a live, law enforcement individual who witnessed the infraction.

Recent change to X won't let me watch videos on X (but on embeds here it will) without sign-up. X may have fixed this but I don't care because that Redirector automatically redirects any x.com links to xcancel.com. Seems there's been a good change on xcancel, too: Before, besides changing x to xcancel in the URL, it wouldn't accept a long URL with the "?" and info at the end. In now doesn't seem to matter. Also now does a check for bothood, sometimes, but it's quick. xcancel > x also because you can full-screen without starting the video.

The ubiquitouness of the camera in modern life is certainly a two-edged sword. The distress of Big Brotherliness observing and recording everything, but the blessing of getting to see the likes of Grampa tossed by a buffalo, and, of course, funny cats.

Could you dazzle the Flock cams by putting a ring of infrared lasers around your licence plate?
Flock also detects color, make, model, bumper stickers, dents, roof racks, hitches, anything that make your vehicle look different and have a "fingerprint". Messing around with your plates, at least in the US, is a crime in and of itself. IOW, making your plate unreadable by photo equipment is a crime. You are better served getting magnetic bumper stickers and relocating them at a whim. Posted by: Community Notes at July 28, 2026 11:10 PM (a4flb) 205

I'm watching a video from a guy in MA that went to the immigrant centers the state is paying for.
No one there will talk with him saying he has to talk to the governor's office.

>>> 53 I'm a retired IT guy, and I cannot figure out what all the Data Center capacity is going to be used for.
Even AI, which is a very risky bet at this point, would not need anywhere near the capacity that THIRD PARTY vendors are building in these data centers. So... as nothing is slow now, why the Yuge need for increase in capacity, being funded by third party capital? Only thing I can think of for that amount of capacity, is things like the need to be able to parse things like the Flock Cameras... and of course, going to virtual money (which, we already pretty much have).

It would make for an interesting court case.
Not really. Some of the more celebrated examples of Flock finding a bad guy (like serial murderers and bank robbers) came only from a description of the vehicle. Most people don't record license plates. So LEOs queried the system on a description of the car and soon there were hits on the vehicle. Cops just make a pretext stop, ask questions until they get PC, then arrests are made. Flock doesn't even have to be mentioned in court.

Midnight Cowboy in 1969, followed by Cotton Comes to Harlem (1970), Shaft, The French Connection and The Panic in Needle Park in 1971, Super Fly and Across 110th Street in 1972 and Badge 373, The Seven-Ups, Mean Streets, Black Caesar, Willie Dynamite, Gordon’s War, Hell up in Harlem and Serpico in 1973. The Taking of Pelham One Two Three shared screens in 1974 with Claudine, Three the Hard Way, Crazy Joe and Death Wish and, as the city’s fiscal crisis became global headlines, was followed by Dog Day Afternoon and Report to the Commissioner in 1975 before the cinematic capstones to the subgenre: Taxi Driver (1976) and The Warriors (1979).

My fear is that all these Data Centers will be a waste of resources. I think the builders think artificial general intelligence will come out of bigger LLM models. It won’t, cf. the Apple paper. The memory wears out, and LLMs won’t get much better than they are today. It all has the air of the underpants gnomes’ plans for world domination. The only possible lasting good might be more electrical generation, if it is insisted upon. How not to lose your shirt? Don’t put any of your money in it. Plenty of funds ARE, so divest out of them; put the money elsewhere. There is going to be a crash. Don’t participate.

Flock just happens to be installed in such a manner where they are interested in traffic. Pretty much every Lowes has several blanketing their parking lot. - this isn't new, Walmart has something like this for decades.

There was a tech guy who had a neighbor with a barking dog that barked all day that bothered him because he worked from his home studio. So he rigged up a repeater that recorded the dog's bark and played it back in a delay of 1/2 to 4 seconds, provoking the dog to bark even more, until it was so wound up it barked at everything non-stop. Then he went on vacation for a couple of days and left it on all the time.
He recorded it on a separate device and referred to the recording as "A Phillip Glass composition in Bark" Posted by: Kindltot at July 28, 2026 11:59 PM (rbvCR) 280

A couple of bright spots this week:
No sign that the bladder cancer is coming back. Scoping and microscopic pathology both came back clean. I'll see the urologist later in the week, perhaps to go on a yearly schedule for scoping rather than every three months. Heart ultrasound also came back good. Mild valve "regurgitation" which may be the cause of the "heart murmur" I've had for many years. Good enough that I won't need another ultrasound for 3-5 years, and will go to yearly visits with the cardiologist. Posted by: Rodrigo Borgia at July 29, 2026 12:01 AM (qpyNK) 283

SkyNet and HAL presuppose that these LLMs will lead to AGI. Not happening. A few years ago I struck up a conversation with a fellow traveler. When he found out I was a physicist, he asked me about an investment that had been put to is company. Seems someone had a scheme for an engine that performed more mechanical work than the energy content of the fuel put into it. It took a while for him to make it clear that was what was promised. As soon as I understood the proposal put to his company, I told him to turn it down. It breaks the laws of thermodynamics, I told him. But even so, he wan’t convinced. The scheme was just so promising, you see. I wish more people had a thorough year of introductory physics. I see the same psychology with AI. Remember the middle step of the underwear gnomes’ plans for world domination? Yeah, there’s the rub.

Momsen Lung:
A British sailor named John Capes escaped from the sunken sub HMS Perseus in WWII, by using the Brit version of a Momsen lung. Sole survivor. He was a Brit sailor on board Perseus as a passenger, not a crewman, so he wasn't listed as a member of the Perseus' crew. For 20 years the Brits were very doubtful about his astonishing story. Maybe he invented the story because he was AWOL? When the Perseus was located & surveyed in the 1980s, they found unmistakable proof that Capes' story was true. But Capes had died of natural causes many years earlier. Posted by: mnw at July 29, 2026 12:11 AM (RCjYY) 297

They will never become self-aware in the sense of life but they will be programmed to seem so.
The danger behind AI is like the danger behind most other things - how reprehensible humans will use the technology for their own nefarious ends, and to the detriment of the world. I am immediately skeptical of any AI purveyors (not people like us shooting the shit but those like Zuckerberg and the like) who talk of the grand dangers of AI becoming self-aware and evil - they are projecting their own nature onto something that does not exist. Maybe it's not a conscious thing... or maybe... they want us to believe *that* is where the danger of AI lies. In AI itself. When the reality is far more mundane and roughly a billion times as frightening. They are the danger. Posted by: ... at July 29, 2026 12:26 AM (vE0+H) 313

The LLMs won’t get much better because they’ve used all the readily available data, the internet, in training the current models. Now the net is getting fouled with AI slop. Train your models with that in the mix and you get worse results, not better. Also there just isn’t enough power generation to complete their schemes, and there won’t be, such is the red tape of regulation for putting in new power plants. There are so many ways they can fail that they aren’t going to do what they have planned. Didn’t work with the Tower of Babel, either.

It is also true that reviews were mixed, as a certain literate (and articulate) segment of the MAGA base had a strongly negative reaction. For C.S. Lewis fans, there's an immediate association with the (literally) Satanic agency of that name in That Hideous Strength, so naming a Federal agency N.I.C.E. for real is a hard no.

the one thing I think cops are grossly underrated at is the investigation of crime. That is, when not interfered with by political concerns and politicians (say, for a headline grabbing crime). They have done fine without declaring everyone not a cop a suspect with these evil Flock cameras.

NASA renovated an office space to make a daycare. The hot water pump failed so they have no A/C. Apparently, the A/C unit cools the air so much when it dehumidifies that they need hot water to bring the air temp back up.

Posted by: Molly k. at July 28, 2026 08:11 PM The 'bachelor' penguins who are forced out to the edges of the rookery are known as "hooligans". One of their milder perversions is bringing pebbles to the females who are already partnered with a male. These females will often then sneak off with one of the hooligans for a bit of fun. If caught, their partner 'divorces' them. As I said, this is, perhaps, the mildest perversion the hooligans exhibit. Being a family blog, further discussion is probably not wise.

I hear Halo: Combat Evolved - the game that started it all - has been ported to the PS5 with new art, a few new missions, and some gameplay tweaks.
The new art seems to have been ported from the PC remaster, which some people don't like... I have a complicated opinion on that. (The original worked around 2001 tech and somehow made a design language around it. The remake makes it look like a generic world like any other.) I can't comment on the gameplay of the PS5 version since I haven't played it, but some decisions look stupid, like putting a shot counter into some of the alien weapons that already ... had them, elsewhere. The big controversy seems to be around the new missions which feature space marines, but the majority are female. YAAAAS SLAYY Posted by: gKWVE at July 28, 2026 09:18 PM (gKWVE) 116
I'd like again to recommend to anyone not of the X body that Xcancel.com Redirector works well with my Win11+Vivaldi browser setup.
Recent change to X won't let me watch videos on X (but on embeds here it will) without sign-up. X may have fixed this but I don't care because that Redirector automatically redirects any x.com links to xcancel.com. Seems there's been a good change on xcancel, too: Before, besides changing x to xcancel in the URL, it wouldn't accept a long URL with the "?" and info at the end. In now doesn't seem to matter. Also now does a check for bothood, sometimes, but it's quick. xcancel > x also because you can full-screen without starting the video. So, I'm enjoying all the x vids from the cafe again.😎 Posted by: mindful webworker - could you repeat that, slowly, with smaller words? at July 28, 2026 09:19 PM (cvo3J) 117

I read the prior thread about the CCP operation involving US journalists brought to China to be groomed as agents of influence.
It sounds *exactly* like the setups for journalists in the USSR back in the day, by agents just like Yuri Bezmenov. I'll go ahead and guarantee it employed the same means - booze and bitches and boys and blackmail, wherever shared Communist ideology can't achieve the desired results. I have an easy answer for this. We know the names of many of these unregistered foreign agents. Virtually all journalists are dissipated drunks and perverts. Lure them into Ubers with bitches, boys, and booze just like the CCP did. But then, make them disappear into a place where nobody ever leaves and the living envy the dead. Given that their identities as unregistered Chinese agents are publicly known, the pattern of disappearances will be known, even if the cause can't be, and all players on both sides of the Pacific will take notice and adjust their behaviors accordingly.

Personally, I'd recommend the recently abandoned Brushy Mountain Penitentiary in East Tennessee. It's an old and scary but still secure prison, haunted by decades' worth of the worst of the worst killers in the Southeast, and nestled deep within a particularly horrible expanse of dense, snake-infested subtropical forest. And nobody thinks it's still doing anything besides tours, which could be quietly discontinued.

Posted by: mea culpa at July 28, 2026 10:05 PM (/wRqu) House Committee Issues Subpoenas to Far-Left Chinese Asset Megadonor Neville Roy SinghamThey suspect that China is pumping money into his NGOs for propaganda against the US, but those payoffs are being hidden as anonymous "charitable" donations. House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith, R-Mo., has issued subpoenas to three tax-exempt organizations tied to socialist megadonor Neville Roy Singham, an American multimillionaire living in Shanghai with ties to the Chinese Communist Party. The subpoenas have been served, a spokesperson for Smith's office told Just the News, on BreakThrough News, Tricontinental and The People's Forum, all three of which are funded, at least in part, by Singham. The subpoenas come after nearly a year of the Committee's attempts to get answers from the three non-profit organizations regarding foreign influence in U.S. nonprofits. Hundreds of millions in campaign funding concealed "For months, the Ways and Means Committee has been investigating how the Chinese Communist Party has been taking advantage of our country's laws through its tax-exempt sector to sow chaos and division here in the United States," Smith said in a statement. "Public reporting has traced hundreds of millions of dollars from Neville Roy Singham -- a tech mogul living in Shanghai -- that was funneled through a web of shell companies and donor-advised funds that concealed the true source of the money before it reached these organizations." ... "Three non-profits connected to Mr. Singham -- BreakThrough News, Tricontinental, and The People's Forum -- have stonewalled the Ways and Means Committee's investigation. That ends now," Smith said in his statement. "These subpoenas will compel the production of the documents they have withheld for months and will help expose how America's tax laws and charitable sector may have been exploited to advance the CCP's influence operations inside the United States. The American people deserve to know whether the CCP has exploited America's tax-exempt sector to advance its agenda. These subpoenas will allow the Ways and Means Committee to identify the networks that exploit our tax laws, and further expose the urgent need for legislation to close those loopholes for good." ... The congressional subpoenas are the latest move against Singham, who is also under federal investigation by a grand jury in New York for possible violations of tax and foreign agent laws, Just the News previously reported. Acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche authorized the grand jury to issue subpoenas as part of an investigation into Singham and his financial network. The investigation was launched by U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton for the Southern District of New York.Meanwhile, Natalie Winters has published a list of fake journalists whom she claims are being funded by China to propagandize for them. It's a Who's Who of execrable online leftistss. Her substack is here. The Leaked Report The internal report obtained by this publication concerns C100's November 2012 delegation to Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou. The operation cost approximately $60,000. It brought five American media figures to China: Clive Crook Brian Lehrer Winnie O'Kelley Gary Silverman Jonathan Tepperman The journalists participated in approximately 20 meetings and visits involving Chinese government officials, state media representatives, business executives, academics and policy figures. ... The itinerary also included upscale hotels, regional Chinese cuisine, sightseeing and corporate tours. Journalists Returned Ready to Reshape Coverage Winnie O'Kelley was then deputy business editor at The New York Times. She called the trip "eye opening" politically, economically and culturally, adding that it made her more aware of what she characterized as the Chinese preference for "gray areas" and pragmatism. She then explained how the experience would influence her work at the newspaper:"I think that I will do a much better job of editing stories from all cross Asia. I am taking back several story ideas and will shape my staff across Asia in some different ways. I hope to add at least one business reporter in China."Gary Silverman, then U.S. news editor and deputy managing editor at the Financial Times, was equally direct:"I don't think that I will ever think or write about China in the future without reflecting on what I learned this week."WNYC's Brian Lehrer said the trip improved his understanding of the complexities of Chinese politics and the boundaries of political debate inside the country. The internal report then states:"He confirmed that his perception of China changed 'in 100 ways.'"... The operation gave the editor of one of America's most influential foreign-policy publications a network of handpicked Chinese contacts he intended to continue consulting. Clive Crook, then a senior editor at The Atlantic, said the program gave him a new conviction that China was a "huge and fascinating story" and that the world was pivoting around the country. He told the organizers: "I don't see how you could do a better job in the time available. Just keep it up!" The internal report then listed articles Crook published after the trip, including: "Why China and the U.S. Can Be Capitalist Comrades" "China's Ghost Towns Won't Have a Hard Landing" C100 even documented the change in attitude and then recorded the resulting coverage. Fudan University professor Shen Dingli offered perhaps the clearest assessment of the operation: "It is hard to speak on China without being to the country. You made the change!" That statement captures what C100's public descriptions attempted to obscure. The program targeted influential American journalists, controlled their exposure to China and privately celebrated when their perceptions changed. The Paper Trail Shows This Was an Influence Operation The leaked internal report was not an outlier. In 2007, C100 launched an initiative to "enhance understanding and improve perceptions of China in the U.S." By 2010, it explicitly described the role participants were expected to play after returning: "We hope that they will share their China experience with their peers to make reporting and coverage of China as balanced and objective as possible." C100 controlled the experience it wanted those journalists to share. Delegates stayed at the St. Regis Beijing, visited the Great Wall and Forbidden City, attended a dinner inside the Great Hall of the People, toured the China Tibetology Research Center and received access to senior political figures, including United Front-linked CUSEF founder Tung Chee-hwa. ... By 2013, C100 was publicly touting the statistic that most clearly exposed the program's purpose: "70% reported improved opinions of the country after visitation."

Also, remember about 12 years before that when Democrats who had just seen Kerry lose to Bush and made a public statement to the world "We're sorry, World" (or something like that), suggested that the rest of the world was just to affected by what happens in America, and really deserve some kind of representation in our elections?

Remember when taking any money from any country that wanted to influence our election was "treason"?
I'm so old I remember when, during Obama, digital transfers got let it. Barry's idea was that Democracy should be open to The World. But lets not bullshit each other. Plenty of Republicans were on the "Political Speech Must Be Free" bandwagon. Because Uncle Boomer in Mizzou wanted to send part of his Pension Check to One Eye in Texas. Who should say he shouldn't ?

The People's Forum isn't just some protest group.
They have full-time protestors. The kind that celebrated 10/7. And yes, there are funding links from them to actual organizations banned in the west for funding terrorism. And let us not forget: Nevile Singham is the husband of Medea Benjamin--founder of Code Pink. And best friend of Marjory Trailerpark Greene. So when MTG passed on the restaurant Trump would be dining at and when to Code Pink: That info was passed on directly to China. Posted by: People's Hippo Voice at July 28, 2026 06:27 PM (3cUTc) 36

There are some reporting requirements but there are also lots of loopholes and probably very little oversight.

I'm a tad behindhand, but why is the CCP funneling money through Singham? Isn't he one of those billionaires, like Soros and that idiot widow of Steve Jobs, who is willing to spend his own money on the destruction of America?
Posted by: Blonde Morticia having another fantasy at July 28, 2026 06:43 PM (mmrXZ) Generally speaking, the billionaire willing to spend their own money - on anything - became billionaire either through inheritance or divorce. The ones who made the money are willing to funnel someone else's money to destroy America but they won't use their own. Jeff Bezos, shopkeeper, is a rare exception but that's because he's mostly an idiot who spends his time trying to ape Elon Musk.

The different facets of this are deep. For example, China makes a killing selling "green energy" products to the West. Secondly, the West institutes these "green" energy policies which hampers the West's economies. So, a double benefit to China, who is full speed ahead on Coal Plants while declaring themselves a developing country and therefore not subject to UN Climate Change policy.
So, look for the "journalists" who fell all over themselves to promote "Climate Change" while simuntaneously ignoring China's counter actions. Posted by: Orson at July 28, 2026 06:59 PM (dIske) 115

Posted by: Orson at July 28, 2026 06:59 PM (dIske) The slanty commies love green energy products because they can make a shitload of money at it. They're not stupid enough to actually USE it. I really enjoy listening to Sarah Paine talking geopolitics on yootoob, and she gets most things right, but she has two big glaring flaws: She has the standard academic Trump-hate because she isn't interested in learning WHY he acts the way he does internationally. And she actually thinks that green energy is going to turn China into a full-on superpower, even though she's supposed to be a China expert. Which is one of the dumbest takes on geopolitics to come out of an academic's pie-hole. Posted by: IllTemperedCur at July 28, 2026 07:12 PM (Q8dRi) 145
And whenever you see ANYONE ... in real life ... HERE ... telling everybody to just not set their hair on fire ?
Always a fucking Boomer. Because they just want shit to last before they die. Posted by: I'm So Old at July 28, 2026 06:54 PM (e4fOb) Or... because emotion is the enemy. Politicians use emotion because they understand that once you get emotional on an issue, you stop thinking about it. There is very little in life which requires hair on fire. What you have to do is calmly understand your situation and find a way to better it. I saw a video of some woman complaining about how capitalism had done her dirty. She went to a 'good' school. Got a PhD. In soil biology. And now, just because she refuses to move out of San Francisco, her degree is useless. And it's the Boomer's fault. Cuz we told her to get a degree for which there was little demand. And we told her to get a degree which might require that she relocate. And we made everything expensive (not her, voting to increase the minimum wage every other month.) Aaaaaaaaaaaah! Hair on fire. Not fair. Boomer bad. Is your life better now?

The aircraft landed safety and Jerry Nadler was escorted by an Irish Bioweapon Team at the airport. Jerry Nadler and his Office had no comment on the incident.

A year after the attacks, they were still showing footage. Of the towers standing tall. Of the towers being destroyed. Of the people jumping. All of it.
And gradually - with the exception of the annual "morning replays" several channels used to do, I watched as they gradually erased it from existence. Not rebuilding the towers was one of the worst injustices foisted on us by any representative government. By keeping them gone then building back some pussy bullshit in its place, they let everyone know that we were all "moving on" whether we liked it or not.

I failed to get my primary ballot filled out and returned this year, I'm fairly sure that there was no "vote out the rino for a good candidate" races but still I should have made the time to engage. So glass house, throwing rocks; but when you don't show up to vote and just let the commies make the decision you are partly responsible for the shitty politicians those commies select. If you are going to stay in a blue hellhole instead of staying and giving them financial support you should at least make the effort to vote against full on commies and/or jihadists.

One of the more amusing parts of all this is the left's original reaction to 9/11 was "Osama should have targeted somewhere in Jesusland not us in NYC" but somehow they've now fully squared this with the people of NYC deserved it after all.

The media and companies like google (BIRM) are still telling you that Allahu Akbar means "God is great". This is a purposeful attack by them on all religions, including of the actual God that actually fucking exists.
They pretend these acts are done in His name. But it doesn't fucking mean "God is great". It means "My God is GREATER". Or GREATEST. Greater than yours. Greater than anything you believe in.

The left's current strategy is bizarre. The obvious play is to claim to be moderate, to what the illegals mostly gone and government corruption ended just not the way Trump is doing it which is mean. Instead arguing all the illegals even the child rapists should stay and that Somalis stealing billions is a good thing makes no sense as an electoral campaign.

"I will proudly honor the families, the survivors, the first responders forever impacted by that horrific terror attack by standing alongside them ... reaffirming that we will never forget." - Zohran Mamdani
The only truthful part in that quote is about never forgetting or, in his case, celebrating 9/11. There needs to be an outright ban on naturalized citizen from holding any elected/appointed/political office or judicial seat. Our homegrown communists are bad enough; importing SOBs like Mamdani that has never assimilated are the last people we need telling us how to be Americans. F' him to hell.

Fact - islam is slavery. It is a system of conquest that enslaves the conquered population through rape, murder, and forced conversion to a slave "religion."
The religion part is only a lie. It is a package of stolen mythology and history, made up bullshit, and promises of a reward after they die. Their slave labor is conquest and funneling money up to the masters. They have to get on their knees and bow to their masters 5 times a day They have to follow strict rules laid down by those masters centuries ago. (To understand this, also understand that at the time of its creation most rulers profited from running the temples and religon, and most religions profited from visits. islam made the visit to their temple mandatory and very profitable for the rulers. The other main purpose of slaves was to act as slave army for conquest. islam glorifies (literally) the act of war and conquest to enrich the masters.)

With one statement of the "religion of peace" he undid every single thing post 9/11/01. He created in those three words, "islamophobia." I remain enraged by that statement.

Mamdani is not extreme and painting him as so is laughable.
He was 9 when it happened and had to grow up in a nyc that was traumatized about islam. People complaining need to get the fuck over themselvez. These families have suffered but thats no excuse for bigotry. Those signatories can fuck right off. I have no use for Mamdani, but there's no reason, other than bigotry, he shouldn't be able to attend the ceremonies. Despite their loss, their Islamophobia doesn’t get to dictate what the mayor of NYC does. But they have no problem with Trump allowing a nuclear agreement with the Saudis. Fuck them. Israeli intelligence knew about 9/11 and allowed it to happen because, in Netanyahu’s words, “terrorism is good for Israel”.

Marly Hornik, the founder of RealAmerica.Vote and NY Citizens Audit, has suggested that the 2025 election included large numbers of unqualified or nonexistent voters. But that’s only part of the problem.
“I actually don’t know whether Mamdani won the mayoral race, and I’m not here to say that he didn’t,” Hornik said during a July 22 interview on New York radio station WABC’s “Sid & Friends in the Morning” program. .... After examining 1 million of the total 2.2 million voters who participated in the election, her organization discovered that 7 percent were nonexistent in records, 6 percent had fake Social Security numbers, and 10 percent didn’t even live in NYC. In total, they identified 230,000 illegal votes, which exceeded Mamdani’s 207,000 vote margin of victory over former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who ran as an independent. https://tinyurl.com/z4ekahu9 (Western Journal - Not AdBlocker friendly, but Reader Mode works) Cue the guy who says nothing will happen.

I'm sure the pols and parties already have a fairly good idea which way it will break all things being even.

The answer was clear: you'd be killed vs excommunicated in the modern world. Sure, my ancestors were probably killed during the reformation beginning in 1517. Sure. However, in the 20th and 21st centuries you'd THINK there would be rational reasoning. However, with inbred barbarians there is no room for this in their tribal tiny IQ's. There are Christians in Iran. They are the only people I can pray for as their county is bombed to pieces. GWB had them. HE HAD THEM and stopped. Like his father, whom he avenged with crap intel by Powell. Then Biden left billions in weapons and people who helped our military in Afghanistan and here we are today.

People, especially young people, have learned WHY 9/11 happened, how the USA financed those terrorists to fight the Russians for us Afghanistan.
This might be one of the most common lies I've ever heard. The US supported Masood's faction defending against the Soviets. The Pakis supported Hekmatyar and the jihadis. After Masood won he set up a relatively moderate government while Pakistan continued to support Hekmatyar and also now Mullah Omar When Bill Clinton withdrew funding for Masood, Pakistan's allies took over the country and sent America's guy back into resistance. This state lasted until Sept 10 2001 when the Taliban assassinated Masood. At no point did the US support the Taliban or the factions that would become the Taliban.

Communism (oh, sorry, Democratic Socialism) is also slavery.
In much the same way as islam, all you have to do is hand total control of your life, and your wealth, over to the ruling regime. It too has a mythology about a better future, and about how it is only possible if we all "submit." It too requires sacrifice and the main purpose is conquest and conversion through "any means necessary." And, much like islam the main feature is that the converted get to feel superior to the unconverted, and to blame them for everything. They also get to practice their perverse bloodlust. Really, the parallels go on and on because at their core they both tap into the worst instincts of the unenlightened man. Posted by: bob (moron inbobnitus) at July 28, 2026 05:49 PM (Kz2wk) 114

The cops show up and try to separate son and random guy. Random guy complies. Son decides to start pushing the cops to get to random guy. Then when that doesn't work punches a cop in the face who goes down like a sack of spuds and gets tazed by several other cops.

My standard date from H. S. on up was into the city to a restaurant, and then to the plaza between the towers to stare up at the sky. I did that dozens of times. I remember telling friends or girls that we were at the center of the world, and that somewhere in USSR there were ICBMs pointed at exactly this spot. After the first bombing they had guards, but they were easy to avoid and I got chased away a couple times, but only temporarily.

Of course he's going to show up, and give a speech. And he will specifically condemn the 9/11 attacks. He'll also then subtly apply false equivalences to Israel, the U.S., Trump, inequality, etc. It will be like a wink, subtle to most but glaringly obviously to some.

When I was very young, I could see them building the towers, but only if I went to my neighbor's house and stood on the roof. There were also a couple streets that were high enough for an unobstructed view but I didn't go to any of them until after they were fully built.

I find it depressing when people say" I don't care what happens to that liberal city." No liberal cities in your particular state? I want people to wise up and I pray that they do, but I remember brave Rick Rescorla and I want nobody in any state to have to go through the horrible carnage and loss of another 9/ 11 ever again.

I wrote my paper for that class defending FLW and art deco, in comparison to lecorb and the whole post modern BS. It was a big FU to the prof, but I took the class pass/fail and there was no way he could fail me. Admiring FLW in a top university was like going English lit class and admiring a taylor swift lyric. (and yet, ironically, I knew a Berkeley student who took a whole class on tupac. that was later though. And berkeley)

Here's my ice-cold take: He'll show up and he'll make a very sincere-sounding, solemn speech with his head bowed and his eyes sad and pensive and he'll say all the things an American patriot would say. The same as when Michelle Obama told us fervently "why I love this countreh so much!!!" at hubby's acceptance of the nom in 2008 and why Ilhan Omar has also talked about her deep love for America. And it will fool damn near everyone. It's just... the right thing to say, for now. Wolf in sheep's clothing. Posted by: Blonde Morticia having another fantasy at July 28, 2026 06:16 PM (mmrXZ) 153

Posted by: Cosda at July 28, 2026 06:23 PM (zj7mM) Mitch McConnell Released from Hospital, But Still Not "Medically Cleared" to Do His Job; Democrat Governor Andy Beshear Demands He Return to Senate or ResignIt was so important to McConnell to remain in office forever. Even after he'd been kicked out of the leadership position due to his opposition to most mainstream Republicans. And it will wind up costing us.McConnell out of hospital, still not 'medically cleared' to return to Senate Democrat governor Andy Beshear wants him to resign so that he can appoint a Democrat to serve out the rest of his term. As I've mentioned before, Republicans passed a law presuming to dictate to the governor that an appointment to an open senate seat must be from the same party as the departing senator, but that seems like it would be struck down in court. So McConnell might be giving us one final setback to go with all of the other setbacks he's given us through the years.

McConnell, if he's going to resign early, will be after the early August deadline so that there's no time for a special election before the general election. That's like a week away.
But, I suspect he makes it to January, mostly as a vegetable, and the GOP easily wins the senate seat in the election. Posted by: TheJamesMadison, discovering British horror with Hammer Films at July 28, 2026 03:56 PM (YmUFN) 18

It's important to realize that this whole mess is McConnell's fault, and he's been trying to undo it for literally years.
He tanked the last GOP candidate for governor and used his machine to help the Democrat win the seat. Ever since, McConnell's been getting his cronies in the state legislature to come up with legislative solutions to him leaving office early (two major laws, I believe) and not letting the Democrat governor replace him with a Democrat. I think that if McConnell hadn't tanked the last governor's race, McConnell would have retired by now.

71 It was my understanding that other states replace senators the same way as proposed (and passed over veto) by Kentucky, so why would it be struck down?
And although I don't particularly like Mitch McConnell, Andy Beshear can take a flying f*ck at a rolling donut. Seems that it isn't part of the governor's power to make a living senator resign. Posted by: nooneyouknowyouknow at July 28, 2026 04:06 PM (Iwv3U) ==== Kentucky's constitution details the process for replacing a senator, and there's no "must be of the same party" requirement there. The requirement is a law that is subservient to the constitution. So, Beshear is most likely right that he could replace Mitch with a Democrat. So, Mitch clings to life. Posted by: TheJamesMadison, discovering British horror with Hammer Films at July 28, 2026 04:07 PM (YmUFN) 78
I don't get it. Why would we want Mitch to resign if a Democrat is going to take his seat?

According to my quick and lazy research: In McConnell’s case, if he vacated the seat before the August 3, 2026 cutoff, Beshear could call a special election before the November general election. After that date, the timing constraints would make a separate special election legally problematic.
So based on the new law, the special election would be used to fill his seat, not the appointment power. Is that the law people think might not stand up to judicial scrutiny? Posted by: LASue at July 28, 2026 04:08 PM (mFhj8) 92

OT - good on them. From the NY Post:
An immigrant-led business group is gearing up to sue New York City over Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s controversial plan to open five taxpayer-funded supermarkets — claiming the $70 million project will create unfair competition for nearby stores, The Post has learned. As the far-left mayor announced new details of his plan this week — including a 30% discount on basic items like produce, meat, milk, cheese and bread – the Multicultural Business Coalition’s board voted to file a lawsuit in the coming weeks to block the pricey initiative, the group’s chairman Frank Garcia told The Post. “The mayor doesn’t seem to want to sit down with us,” Garcia said, adding that Mamdani “won’t be able to bully these lawyers we are going to bring in.” Posted by: beckster at July 28, 2026 04:17 PM (kX27y) 138

Posted by: Duncanthrax at July 28, 2026 04:22 PM (0sNs1) ======= I suspect Lee knows this ain't passing this Congress, and he's just doing prep work for next Congress. The pressure is good. Ensures that the SAVE act won't be forgotten, and it's coming from a guy actually in the chamber. But, really, it's not passing before late January 2027 at the earliest, assuming the GOP keeps the House (it's guaranteed to keep the Senate).

What I can't sort out is if Kentucky is a worse version of Tennessee or a better version of Ohio. I could easily have this reversed.

He’ll end up making bank as a lobbyist, masthead lawyer, or some other cushy high-pay job. Plus however many tens of millions he grifted off being on the Senate for 25 fucking years.

Why should people with their security clearances not have their heads examined regularly?

The COVID Virus must have unique Gain of Function properties because it knew that it could not jump more than 6 feet to infect another person.
So, Dr. Fauci the genius he was knew this and told us to stay 6 feet from the nearest person. Like he almost had something to do with creating the virus in the Wuhan lab ??? Posted by: Jackson K. at July 28, 2026 05:00 PM (ppijb) 242
Breaking News: John Cornyn (R-TX) has accused Mike Lee (R-UT) of "demoralizing" the GOP base over his refusal to let the Senate recess in August without passing the SAVE Act.

And I just rewatched Lindsay Graham's speech against the despicable actions against Brett Kavanaugh at his Confirmation hearing. It was a good speech!

Well if I understand the new way of doing things, Mitch can simply appoint his wife, or a younger blood relative (preferably female) to finish out his term, right?

In all 4 of the toss up seats for the Senate, Ohio, Maine, Alaska, Michigan, Kalishi has the Dems ahead.

I don't think Beshear can force him out.
I think Mitch has to die or he is certified brain dead. The Senate won't kick him out. All the Republicans have to do is drag it out. As mentioned earlier, His Republican replacement is sworn in come January. Posted by: Lurking Cheshirecat at July 28, 2026 05:08 PM (w3u3d) 252
He's been in the Senate since Reagan's first term (January 3, 1985.)

Here's a tip: McConnell is not going to resign.
Here's another: There's not a damn thing Andy Beshear can do about it. Posted by: deadrody at July 28, 2026 09:36 PM (vgB0v) 254
Nevermind that the "job" of serving in the Senate does not require literally any physical fitness whatsoever.
