Former CNN Hypartisan News Prude Brooke Baldwin: I'm a Strong Professional Woman and So I Want You to Know I'm Really Good at Dick-in-Vag Sex
Ah yes, prudish, priggish Male Gaze-shaming feminists using their hooters and pooters to advance themselves.
Many such cases, as Elon Musk saysEx-CNN anchor Brooke Baldwin gets stunningly candid about her sex life: 'Pretty damn good'Was anyone asking? I sure wasn't.
This sounds a lot like a whore bragging.
Brooke Baldwin is opening up about her sex life in startlingly candid fashion -- declaring she's "pretty damn good" in bed, revealing four different men recently tried to sleep with her and insisting casual sex was "very much on the table" before she turned them all down.
Oh wow, a divorced woman joined a dating app. Breaking news! Thanks for sharing. Now she remembers she's a feminist and so she's not supposed to feel validation due to the sexual attention of men. So she questions if she's flattered and all, and decides she's not, because it's obvious she's hot.
The former CNN anchor, 47, made the eyebrow-raising admissions in a Substack post published over the weekend, writing that she had recently rejoined a dating app and found herself fielding attention from four men -- including one who "used to run a country," another who "literally flew in just to take me to dinner," and a third she described simply as "hot." "Bottom line? I am flattered," Baldwin initially wrote before catching herself.
She wants you to know that she's a whore, but she's saving her Whore Energy for "a larger purpose."
"Hang on. Am I???" "That's so old-school-Brooke-I-just-want-to-be-Chosen talking. No. I'm not flattered. I'm... unsurprised. There. There's the truth."
The veteran broadcaster, who was previously married to British producer James Fletcher before she filed for divorce in 2023, said she ultimately rejected all four men despite describing herself as someone who enjoys sex. "What did I do?" Baldwin wrote. "Turned them all down. Every. Single. One." "And y'all know... I love sex. If I may be so bold, I'm pretty damn good at it." She added that she has previously written that "sex to me is like oxygen" and said she has been upfront that she is "not looking for a serious relationship right now." "So casual sex? It's very much on the table. I've thought about it. A lot," she wrote. "It could be empowering. It would almost certainly be pleasurable. And I'm a grown-ass woman with choices."
Baldwin said she nevertheless decided against sleeping with any of the men because she wants to devote her energy to what she described as a larger purpose. "In this particular season of my life, I care too much about what I'm building to let my energy scatter in a dozen directions," she wrote, describing that philosophy with a single word: "LEAKY." "It isn't punishment. It's protection. Protection of the life I'm trying to build."Men and women have different ways of dealing with middle age. Men, infamously, spend a lot of money on a sportscar they've coveted since they were 15. But women, particularly leftwing women, deal with middle age by going through a "Messianic Phase," in which they suddenly become Philosopher-Priestesses who have So Much to Share with the World. If they're rich celebrity women, they adopt a Whitman's Sampler pack of third world children. They also tend to start Lifestyle Brand online businesses where they sell candles that smell, they advertise, like their private parts. They also sometimes just sleep around a lot. Brooke Baldwin is combining the two Copes. I'm not a prude, but I do object to someone of such slight public interest deciding she's going to Overshare the mundane details of her tawdry life with all of us. Is that really for us? No, of course not. It's for Brooke. She's not being validated enough since CNN fired her -- a "negotiated settlement," as she calls it -- so she's going to validate herself. And she's got more unsexy tidbits to share.
Note to gentlemen who prefer blondes: she's not interested in a one-night stand. Former CNN anchor Brooke Baldwin said she craves "more intimacy" in her relationships -- and gave The Post a clue about the next steps in her career.Again, who is asking? No one. She's doing what insecure women do, which is to go on social media, say something sexual, and wait for desperate men to tell them how hot they are. I mean, this is the image she's using to drum up attention:
... "I don't want less intimacy. I want more," she wrote in the post published Sunday. "I love being deeply known, and knowing someone deeply in return," she added. "Instead I crave spaciousness -- in partnership or out of it."
White Aging-Feminist Messiah Complex. "I have so much more to give. There must be something more to me. Right? Right? There has to be! I'm almost sure of it!" It's the whole Eat-Pray-Love cycle. Have casual sex, spend money on restaurants, buy some trinkets and incense and get "spiritual." She has some media project that will Heal Us All. And maybe some candles that smell like her privates. I'm in control of my sexuality, Male Gazers! Here is a picture of my breast implants to show you that I'm the one in control of my sexuality, Male Gazers!
Baldwin's latest essay also offered a tantalizing clue about her professional future. The former anchor revealed that she is "building something of my own now" and added parenthetically: "we start shooting in two weeks!!!" She did not provide additional details about the project on her blog.
But in a statement to The Post, Baldwin revealed that she has spent the past several months developing an independent journalism project called "America, Tell Me Everything," which will take her around the country reporting on women from different backgrounds.There you go. I can feel the healing already.
"After twenty-plus years in mainstream media, I'm doing journalism on my terms," Baldwin told The Post on Wednesday, adding that she plans to tell stories with and about women "whose lives and experiences may look nothing like mine or each other's." The revelations come after Baldwin stunned readers last month by dishing about her sex life, revealing that her rejected suitors include a man who "used to run a country" and another who "literally flew in just to take me to dinner." While she declined each opportunity, she left little doubt about her enthusiasm for sex itself. ... Baldwin wrote the piece on a flight back home from Paris, describing the trip as largely solo. She didn't divulge who, if anyone, she spent time with in the famously romantic capital. The scribe delved deeper into what she has learned about maintaining her independence and boundaries while in a relationship, writing that she has a tendency to nurture those around her to such an extent that she can lose sight of her own needs. "I love to give. And if I'm not careful, it's also one of the quickest ways I leave myself," she wrote.Is she 14? Is this MySpace?
AlejandroThat is a great point.
@AlejandroCO303 The woman bragging publicly about how she likes to get fucked was aghast when Clay Travis said the word "boobs" on her show
Brooke Baldwin, who claimed to be offended when I said the first amendment & boobs on CNN, now has a Substack where she poses in bras and writes about the men she bangs. She wrote a piece saying I should be fired for what I said on CNN! (Via @megynkelly). https://t.co/XW80WI8KZS

Here, I looked it up. Google AI.
The fired co-worker you are referring to is Rick Sanchez.
He was fired from CNN in October 2010 after making controversial comments during a radio interview, where he called late-night host Jon Stewart a "bigot" and suggested that Jewish people ran CNN and the broader news media.
Brooke Baldwin had been working as Sanchez's on-air contributor and "sidekick" on his show, Rick's List.
Following his sudden firing, Baldwin was tapped to fill his time slot. This opportunity ultimately launched her 11-year run as a main daytime anchor for the network.
Okay. Thanks for the energy boost ace. Back to work.

I would add that middle-aged women without anything else stable or worthwhile in their lives are also feeling the heat of younger ladies taking their men, their jobs, and their self-worth.
So they constantly have to brag and posture as a plea for "I'm still relevant and hot and awesome!"
There's a reason the "cougar" has become a thing. And any cougar in the world will tell you she's a cougar within 15 minutes of meeting them. They are desperate to claw back some power from the younger generations taking it from them.

I'm not sure where this Flaunting Your Mature Female Sexuality literary trend started, but it might have been Caitlin Flanagan?
It has metastasized into completely dispensable explications of every trivial impulse or experience in existence. Instead of Thomas Friedman talking to a taxi driver, it's some matron dropping off her kid in her $100,000 SUV at a private school and ruminating for ten paragraphs on the implications of her daughter's red hair.
Or a shopping trip where someone held a door for her, or the meaning of watching t.v. in your bedroom, or omg.
Do some research and write an actual book like Barbara Dafoe Whitehead, or write a cheesy thriller, or get a job as a model. Monetizing your status as a horny middle-aged woman is not the feminist master-stroke.

Very interesting email just came our way about yet another superstar DSA rich kid who needs his parents to bail him out. Shocking, I know.
So it turns out that DSA strategist Morris Katz was, according to this very reliable source, renting a $5,700/month luxury apartment on Lorimer Street in Brooklyn and just stopped paying rent one day.
He apparently bounced several checks, dodged calls from the management company, super, and landlord, lied about being 'out of town', overstayed his lease, and then left all his belongings behind to be dealt with by the staff.
Ultimately his rich parents, of course, bailed him out with the landlord, presumably to the tune of tens of thousands of dollars.
Again, this is the DSA. A group of spoiled brats who cannot even manage their own lives, yet supposedly have all the answers for how our entire world should be run. An absolute joke.
Many more details to come on this. Stay tuned!

13 What was the accurate dollar figure on the value of equipment abandoned in place over there in Afghani land? Trucks, Black Hawk helicopters, fully automatic machine guns, secure radios, night vision goggles, etc etc. I've heard anywhere from 7 Billions to 70 Billions of dollars.

There was one small silver lining to the Fall of Kabul. On on of the anniversaries, the Taliban press office tweeted out a photo of the captured equipment. And when the internet made fun of their trucks for wearing what looked like shower caps or clean-room booties, they said it was because the tires were made by homosexuals, and easily degraded.
Objectively hilarious.

I generally reject these notions about what she "should" be doing -- grandmothering in her case? -- unless she actually has grandkids who are missing her. But I don't care about her not meeting societal expectations.
It's what she's actually doing that she shouldn't be doing. Acting on Main Character syndrome, manufactured, of all things, out of her notions of her own hotness. It's such a lazy and narcissistic route. Like I said, if she thinks she's all that, get to an agency and see if you can make it as a model or actress. Run yourself ragged going on auditions and go-sees. Start a cosmetics brand or a fashion line for 40+ women. Do some actual WORK.

She's doing what insecure women do, which is to go on social media, say something sexual, and wait for desperate men to tell them how hot they are.
Hanoi Jane Fonda's been running this scam for decades, but it's usually also tied to some other project she has going, like a book or movie coming out. Then she does and interview with tittilating tidbits of her past life.
"I had same-sex relationships!"
"Roger Vadim MADE me have threesomes!"
"Did you know I fucked Warren Beatty?"
"I'm 82 and I still have sex with hot men!"
Three of these four options are some of the BIG PERSONAL REVELATIONS that she pulled out in interviews.

No, they don't. The audience for her slut-whore show isn't men. It's women. She is desperate to show other ladies -- and especially younger ladies -- that she still "has it" and men still find her hot and desirable. She wants to try to maintain her status in the pecking order of her female peers.
Men above the age of 17 are too smart to fall for her "I'm a slut" routine. We know better. See my comment above.

Fake News Jake Blames the "Horrific" Fall of Kabul on Trump, Without Mentioning that It Was Joe Biden Who Actually Oversaw the Botched Bugout
He's always the last to know.Fake Jake is All About the Troops, including the Taliban troops.
Jake Tapper Notes the Anniversary of the 'Horrific' Fall of Kabul, With One Glaring Omission
Objectivity in the media stands as the elusive conceit for many. Journalists love to tout that as their standard, yet for so many, it stands as a supreme challenge. Look, we get it; the desire to slam President Trump and the administration is substantial, but when Jake Tapper cannot even deliver the barest amount of balance, well, that is a sign of a problem. Maybe it is a pathology. The effects of TDS are substantial, sure, but can there not be some sign of an effort being applied? Tapper set the table to serve both sides, then removed the chairs to prevent participation in one half of the setting. On State of the Union he closed out the episode wanting to recognize the fifth anniversary of the failed pullout of American troops from Kabul. All just fine, so far. He acknowledged the FUBAR nature of that mission, and used proper terms to describe the calamitous extraction efforts. "Disastrous", "horrific", and other negatives were employed, all accurately. It was inevitable, sure, that the fall of Kabul, and Afghanistan (what could more accurately be described as a surrender) would fold into the current Iran conflict. Tapper brought up President Trump, and also Secretary Pete Hegseth in his segment. But what was remarkable was what he did not mention. Throughout his soliloquy, the name "Joe Biden" was never uttered. The former president was never pictured in the graphics as the CNN anchor spoke, unlike the current officeholders. This is a remarkable effort to elide by the host, given the stern descriptions he gave of the extraction from Kabul. Something that stands as one of the biggest scars on the Biden term in the White House does not merit mention of the man?! To see just how much Jake Tapper strained to avoid mention of Biden, look at the passage he used first to bring up Trump's name: "Many Afghans who fought with the U.S. -- risked their lives for the U.S. -- remain stranded abroad after the Trump administration halted the special immigrant Visa program."
This is Jake using willful obfuscation. It needs to be pointed out, apparently, on this, the 5-year anniversary, that bringing Afghan allies to the U.S. has been a problem for at least 4.6 of those years. The president at the time, whom Tapper does not want to invoke in his memoriam, was being scorched by his own party in the months following the Kabul fiasco. We understand Tapper's desire to steer away from culpability with Biden. But bringing up what has to be considered his most glaring failure while straining to avoid tying him to that debacle is pure folly. It is also undiluted bias on display.
Speaking of scandal-plagued fake "journalists:" A leftwing "reporter" and major dicksuck for Zohran Mamdani has been found to have committed plagiarism 67 times and has been fired by New York Magazine. (Well, they will no longer publish his work.) He shouldn't bother killing himself, though, because he's white so people are allowed to notice his fraud and plagiarism.
New York Magazine has ended its publishing of political writer Ross Barkan after an internal review found 67 pieces that contained improperly attributed language, information, and/or sourcing. The magazine launched the review after a Washington Post reporter flagged similarities between the opening of one Barkan story and an earlier piece he had written on the same subject. NPR later reported additional plagiarism allegations. New York Magazine said in a statement that the 67 columns "did not include proper attribution of language, information and/or sourcing." The publication said it is updating the affected articles with proper attribution and remains "committed to addressing any other instances that come to light." "Upon conclusion of the review, we have determined that we will no longer publish his column," New York Magazine said. "We regret that his work did not live up to our editorial standards, and apologize to the writers whose work was not appropriately attributed." ... "In the course of nearly 250 pieces, there were times I should have been more careful with my citation," he added. "I'm sorry about these errors and will work to do better, more careful work in the future." Barkan has been a prominent supporter of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Mamdani served as campaign manager for Barkan's 2018 state Senate campaign, a connection Barkan has referenced in his Substack and elsewhere.
It defies common sense to see @JakeTapper invoking President Trump when discussing the anniversary of the debacle f the Afghanistan evacuation.

I've seen egregious media bias via omission. And, I've seen deceitful media bias via misrepresentation of facts and events. BUT, when you use both techniques at the same time, on an event that is still pretty fresh in the living population's mind, you take on the facade of a 3 year old lying about stealing a cookie of the counter while covered in cookie crumbs.

That was actually going to be the departure date.
I don't know who in his cabinet, or whether Obama himself dialed in, to convince him that the optics of doing so on that specific anniversary was a less-than-stellar idea.
Unfortunately, they didn't convince him not to bug out on a hard deadline either, nor to plan it better.
But hey, at least the Feminazis finally got a real-life The Handmaiden's Tale to point to. Except it's in a Muslim country, so they can't exactly point to it.

To this day, the left maintains that because Trump originally planned on a withdrawal around that time, it's his withdrawal, as if Biden, the then-"president" and CinC, was utterly powerless to stop Trump's misguided withdrawal plan.

Hollywood Vampires - Ace of Spades (At Montreux Jazz Festival)
https://youtu.be/YIJth479y4w
I was curious about the white Stratocaster with the reverse headstock. AI says the guitar is Jeff Beck's 2014 Fender Custom Shop own signature model, and the player is Johnny Depp, who had it on permanent loan. (It was given back on Jeff's death in January 2023, and his estate has loaned it out to other musicians since.)
Unfortunately, his $2500 signature production model has a regular headstock, and even his Custom Shop signature is shown likewise. (The reverse makes more mathematical sense to me, giving more tension to lower strings that need it, and less to higher ones that don't.)
To get it looking like the real thing, you would either have to order a bespoke model for who knows how much, buy the production model and replace the neck yourself -- Player II and Warmoth necks are available with reverse headstocks -- or maybe just buy the $1300 Jimi Hendrix signature Strat, and replace the nut and pickups. That last option would have a maple fingerboard instead of rosewood, but that's what it looks like in the video anyway.

The whole news values of the Post spend so much time detailing how this guy's a lefty and the magazine he worked for published an anti-Israel story and that Mamdani was his campaign manager eight years ago when it's not even relevant to the actual story.
Lol at New York Post trying to make it about Mamdani. That basically every story they write currently.
every centrist democrat on twitter is making it about mamdani. why do we have so many neoliberals lurking this sub. Hillary should be in jail
looking through these specific examples, I found them underwhelming. It's a bunch of stuff like technical lists from a source that he used verbatim in an article about the same subject. This feels very overblown.

BREAKING [Must credit]: All US Army field artillery units have run out of lanyard grease, a critical component of indirect fire support for maneuver units. The Army's supply of grid squares is also believed to be running dangerously low.
Have Army artillery units been part of the Iranian operation? I don't understand the five alarm fire.

What’s also important is that the United States continues to support Afghan Security Forces, and we are committed to supporting them well into the future.
Even as we’re withdrawing forces from Afghanistan, we are not withdrawing from Afghanistan. We’re determined to maintain a strong embassy presence.

Plus he's just an irritating drama queen writer:
I understand, intellectually, why it is I’m supposed to care for Israel—Zion was promised at the end of one World War and guaranteed after the Holocaust—and why it matters, now, Israel has been under attack. I grieve for the civilians Hamas slaughtered. But I grieve, too, for civilians slaughtered everywhere—in Sudan, Ethiopia, Armenia, and Maine—and I struggle to care more about one foreign country over another. Well, the Zionist has an easy retort: you are Jewish. But I, as an American Jew, never demanded an ethno-state. I have never been to Israel and I would not feel safer there than I would in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. I have never been the victim of an anti-Semitic attack here. I do not wear a kippah, and never will. Perhaps the frum prefer Israel. But in their private moments, I doubt they’d say they’re better off in Israel than Borough Park or Midwood or Rockland County.

Williamsburg is a weird place. In the southern part, it's an orthodox jewish and hassidic stronghold. Fully 35% of all residents of Williamsburg are very conservative Jews.
It was traditionally very very Jewish overall. Lotsa holocaust survivors ended up in Williamsburg.
Then Williamsburg got VERY trendy in the last 20 years or so. It saw a yuge influx of younger, affluent residents who liked the proximity to Manhattan at a cheaper price point.

That was actually going to be the departure date.
I don't know who in his cabinet, or whether Obama himself dialed in, to convince him that the optics of doing so on that specific anniversary was a less-than-stellar idea.
Unfortunately, they didn't convince him not to bug out on a hard deadline either, nor to plan it better.

They didn’t risk their lives for the US. They risked their lives to save their own country.
And a LOT of these people who claimed to help us didn’t. We have many examples of people who said they did, and used that as a ticket (or attempted ticket) to come to the US. Many of them could not be screened, and Biden let them in anyway. In the end, the number who were legit terps, or actually helped the mission, and then were actually screened fully, is tiny.
And btw, why is helping us clean up your country a ticket to US citizenship anyway?

This is a specific, narrowly-focused and tailored mission to help with the safe, secure movement of the reduction of the civilian personnel in Kabul, as well as to help support the acceleration of the Special Immigrant Visa process by the State Department.
The deteriorating conditions are a big factor in why the president has approved this mission - to help support the reduction of personnel there in Kabul.

I could see if they were doing 20+. Then sure.
Enterprise has been very good. I've had it in the background with the work I'm currently avoiding. They even pulled off 'funny' episodes well. And Jolene and Linda were smoking hot.

Method was to go to the motor pool, climb onto the vehicle roof and jump up and down while a co-conspirator E4 "measured" the track deflection with a ruler.
I learned my lesson though. He also sent me out looking for a box of grid squares. I got an extra map of the training areas and a pair of scissors. Had me doing pushups for a LONG time, but he never tried another snipe hunt.

Of course I knew Biden was in office, but as is now well know, he was not President! I didn't blame anyone specifically because I don't know who in the Politburo to blame!
As far as Trump goes, when he was in his first term he could have just as abjectly and cowardly ordered the abandonment of Kabul, so on that basis I feel it is fair to blame him.

Fauci's Partner-in-Crime David Morens Pleads Guilty to Illegal Evasion of Federal Records Laws (to Cover Up His Complicity in Covid)
The media is largely ignoring this story, to focus on the Real News, which is Democrat Senator Jon Ossof's WITHOUT EVIDENCE conspiracy theory that Trump is having an affair with his aid.
David Morens, former NIAID adviser, pleads guilty in COVID-19 records schemeDoes that suggest that he's flipped and will testify against Peter Daszack -- and Anthony Fauci? I know Fauci seems to be protected. But I'd like the truth on the record, even so.
Washington -- A former senior adviser at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases has pleaded guilty to a charge stemming from a scheme to hide federal records during the COVID-19 pandemic. Under a deal reached with federal prosecutors in Maryland, David Morens, 78, agreed to plead guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit offenses and to defraud the United States. He faces up to five years in prison. Morens, a senior adviser at NIAID's Office of the Director from 2006 to 2022, was indicted in April and charged with five counts for what prosecutors said at the time was his role in a scheme to defraud the U.S. by shielding federal records related to the COVID-19 pandemic from the public. Tim Belevetz, a lawyer for Morens, said, "By pleading guilty today, Dr. Morens has taken responsibility for what he did and will continue to do so."
He also accepted a dinner at a Michelin-rated restaurant.
Prosecutors said Morens worked with two co-conspirators. The first, "co-conspirator 1," served as the president and CEO of a New York-based nonprofit that received a grant in 2014 titled "Understanding the Risk of Bat Coronavirus Emergence." The Wuhan Institute of Virology in Wuhan, China, received a subaward from the New York group on the coronavirus grant, prosecutors said, though the National Institutes of Health terminated the award in April 2020 following allegations that COVID-19 emerged from the lab. The NIAID is part of the NIH. The second co-conspirator was described in charging documents as a physician, scientist and professor who worked for an academic institute that received federal grants. Emails made public by the GOP-led Select Committee on the Coronavirus Pandemic indicate that the New York-based nonprofit is the EcoHealth Alliance and co-conspirator 1 is its president, Peter Daszak. ... According to the guilty plea, Morens and the two co-conspirators agreed to exchange emails about COVID-19 and its origins, as well as the terminated coronavirus grant, through Morens' personal Gmail account, rather than his official NIH account, to hide federal records and evade public records laws. Morens and his co-conspirators also used his Gmail account to share nonpublic information from the NIH about COVID-19 and "back-channel" information to an unidentified senior NIAID official, who appears to be Anthony Fauci, the institute's former director, according to court filings. Morens also admitted as part of his guilty plea that he and co-conspirator 1 conspired to pay illegal gratuities. Court records show that Morens received two bottles of wine in June 2020 from co-conspirator 1 for his "behind-the-scenes shenanigans," which were delivered to his Maryland house.

Nope. But Fauci's pardon does not cover state offenses either and some states are beginning to consider opening investigations. Depraved indifference to human life is actually a criminal charge in some of them and Fauci certainly qualifies as depraved and indifferent.

I am sure that some were saying back in 1642 that Parliament would never cut a king's head off for treason too. And in 1776 London, that the Americans would submit with a whiff of grapeshot being used.

My guess is that Daszack saw which way the wind was blowing and went right over to Langley to make a deal with them. He likely teased potential intelligence tidbits on China and will acquire protection from prosecution. Sort of like how Epstein did so in his first arrest, and only getting sentenced to a half-way house which no records ever showed he attended.

Yep, done to avoid FOIA on purpose. Obama's crew liked to put messages into a common account as drafts and handed around the password to the accounts so any of the conspirators could read the drafts without it going through more easily discovered email filters.

Nope. But Fauci's pardon does not cover state offenses either and some states are beginning to consider opening investigations. Depraved indifference to human life is actually a criminal charge in some of them and Fauci certainly qualifies as depraved and indifferent.
Posted by: whig at August 19, 2026 02:34 PM (E4rtv)
whig, you beat me to the answer. I've also noticed the depraved indifference to human life. It's one thing to make an erroneous decision and then revise after more information.
On the other hand, we have Fauci's actions: saying one thing in private, but another in public. Hopefully, we have one or more aggressive state AG decide to prosecute this psycho. On top of his "diary" now we have phone text messages: the private acknowledgement of WHO concerns about 1st trimester miscarriages, then publicly telling pregnant women that the COVID vaccine was completely safe for them.
What a bunch of repugnant scumbags.

The headlines are misinformation. It should read..'trump administration continues it's ruthless misinformation attack on Dr. Fauci.'
Sometimes it's necessary to push forward regardless of the risks for the good of mankind. Prosecuting him for this is petty and helps no one.
I'm fine with this, as long as Hegseth and Vance get charged for signalgate.
They're relitigating COVID because they’re failing on every other front and need to energize their voters for November.

Weak D field brings out the prospective Bill Clinton candidates--like in 1992, sometimes you get lucky by taking a shot. Same reason AOC might run--2028 and open presidential seat is about the best shot she is going to have.
2032 if illegals are deported and from the Census shifts in the Electoral College make it a lot more challenging for Dems at that point.

18 percent of Tossoff's campaign donations came from Georgians. 72 percent from out of state. He raised nearly 35 million to fight a losing election in the Atlanta suburbs over a house seat in 2018, again from out of state. Tossoff is Vindman, a carpetbagger supported by out of state or even smurfed Act Blue illegal contributions from foreigners. Accomplished nothing of note other than winning the obvious fraud laden election of 2020. So an example of the few creepy white males left in the Dem party like Talarico in Texas.

GOP Party committees and Trump's Super Pac are loaded. GOP never really puts much ads out there until after Labor Day. Paxton already has statewide name recognition for better or worse winning statewide races and surviving the vile GOPe impeachment crap from Phelan and other Bushworld GOPe rats. This race will be closer than Cornhole's might have been but pretty sure Paxton will pull it out at least by Ted Cruz levels in 2018.

When Beto was running, both times, there were signs and stickers everywhere.
I've seen 3 houses near me that have Talarico signs.
Most know Talarico is a freak. I've seen a few Paxton ads, but only on YouTube videos and streaming.
I am only slightly concerned, but have all the faith in the world that the heretic Talarico will be seen for what he is and get blown away, as he should.

Urban Dem fraud. In fact, Perdue likely won the original election outright in 2020 which would have negated Tossof winning in the runoff.

We'd throw them across a room -- usually trying to hide them behind or under obstacles -- and each would retrieve its favorite, howling repeatedly as if having proudly caught a rodent and saved us from invasion.
Oddly, the male loved the hedgehogs, and the female the mice.

His strength as a candidate was pretending to be normal. Sistah Soulja, etc.
If a candidate came forward saying things like "it's wrong to hurt whites" or "don't intimidate Jews" or "chopping a child's dick off is a naughty thing to do" or "private property is a right," the base would sit it out - if one of them didn't just put on his fursuit and shoot that guy with a sniper rifle.
Their base isn't like the Right's. You can't just come out and say "guess what? You'll get nothing you want and like it. Vote for me or else Republicans will be the ones who do nothing you want, instead of a Democrat like me," and have them say "oh, ok, I'll just go get my cuck chair, then."

Fauci was a middle manager, same as Obama. They both made decisions on their own but the strategy came from elsewhere.

He had been asked to leave the region/agency put he dug in. He was then sat in a windowless room in D.C. for ages and eventually just walked the halls and went into meetings where he wasn't known.
Then it was the trial & be fired for ^ or leave. He finally left and ran a very successful consulting business.
But in the lengthy process between agency allegations and departure, he wound up divorced, had to sell a house for his lawyer fees, lost his agency reputation.
He was luckier than a lot of lower graded personnel whenever it hit the fan.

Virginia Mother Slaughtered in Daylight By Yet Another Violent Foreign Criminal Invited Into the Country by Joe Biden
Bill Melugin
@BillMelugin_ BREAKING: I'm told by federal source that the suspect arrested in Fairfax County, VA for the stabbing murder of a mother near a jogging trail in Great Falls, VA is a Salvadoran illegal alien who was caught and released at the border by the Biden admin in El Paso, TX in April 2024. Fairfax County Police announced the arrest of 19-year-old Alexis Antonio Cedillos-Campos this morning in connection to the stabbing killing of Carmen Lizet Puch on Monday and released a photo of his arrest. I've also included a photo of Cedillos-Campos from when he was in Border Patrol custody in 2024, courtesy of a federal source. NBC Washington reports Puch was 42-years-old and had a young daughter.
End WokenessI have a big update to a story I linked, but didn't really explore, yesterday. Yesterday I mentioned that Fairfax County "prosecutor" Steve Descano -- supported by George Soros, of course -- had allowed a violent extremist Islamic killer to escape the country. First, he pressured a judge to find him not guilty of murdering his landlord by reason of insanity. Then, he let the guy go to the airport and flee the country. Here's the update: I sort of assumed that this was an unintended outcome. Yes, Descano is awful and attempts to drop charges against every foreign criminal, but it never occurred to me that he deliberately helped this Islamic foreign murderer flee the jurisdiction. I think I was wrong. Descano actually helped get this guy a passport and then allowed the mental hospital he was being kept at to let him out for a weekend furlough. At which point he somehow obtained a plane ticket and fled the jurisdiction. Descano won't deliver killers over to ICE. But he will get them a passport and let them go to the airport to flee the country as free men. John Sexton:
@EndWokeness UPDATE: He is an illegal that crossed the US border in 2024 Biden's DHS released him
[9WUSA:] A man named Abdulloi Toshpulodzoda is an illegal immigrant who entered the country back in 2009. A decade later, in 2019, Toshpulodzoda was accused of murdering his landlord in Vienna, Virginia.Steve Descano is a radical who refuses to deliver wanted foreign criminals to ICE and in fact refuses to charge illegal aliens so that they won't be deported. But he seems to have deliberately assisted a murder's flight from punishment here. This is a crime. As Sexton points out, Hannah Dugan was charged for attempting to help a foreign criminal flee her courthouse. The DOJ must investigate Descano -- and if he's guilty, he must be imprisoned. This is not just obstruction of justice. This is insurrection.Around 8:30 a.m. police responded to a stabbing in the 2900 block of Edgelea Road in Vienna, Virginia. Police found 61-year-old Mohammed Hemmatian suffering from stab wounds to his upper body. He was taken to the hospital, where he later died. The medical examiner will conduct an autopsy to determine cause of death. The suspect, 27-year-old Abdulloi Toshpulodzoda, stayed at the scene and was arrested and charged with murder. Toshpulodzoda was taken to the hospital for a routine evaluation, and while there he suffered a medical emergency. He is now stable.So there was really no question what happened here. Hemmatian, the elderly man who died, was Toshpulodzoda's landlord. Toshpulodzoda was covered in his blood. But, likely because of the pandemic, his case seems to have dragged on until 2022 when he was judged not guilty by reason of insanity. He was committed to the Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Development Services and wound up in a mental hospital in Falls Church, which is directly adjacent to the city where the crime happened. And that really should have been the end of his story, at least for many, many years or decades. But of course that's not what happened. Instead, a judge made clear that Toshpulodzoda was not to be released, but it seems the hospital had the right to issue patients day and weekend passes and they appear to have just ignored the court's directions.Why would Commonwealth's Attorney Steve Descano ask a murderer deemed insane to go and get a passport? Your guess is as good as mine.
In June, a judge reaffirmed that Toshpulodzoda "shall not be released from custody and inpatient hospitalization without further order of this court." However, Virginia law allows a mental health hospital to grant committed individuals, including those accused of murder, permission to leave the facility without an escort on day or weekend passes. In 2024, Toshpulodzoda was allowed to leave Virginia last year to travel to Washington, D.C., to get a passport, a move supported by the Commonwealth's Attorney.If they didn't want him released, why would he possibly need a passport in a mental institution. It's hard to come up with a possible answer to that one but you have probably guessed by now what happened. Last month, Toshpulodzoda was given another weekend pass and this time he bought a plane ticket and fled the country.
Sean Kennedy is a victim's rights advocate who says Descano and the State failed the victim and the victim's family... "The law in Virginia allows the psychiatrist, the same ones who are pushing for his release, to escort him to the courthouse and to issue these without a judge's ruling," said Kennedy. "The passport was issued at the behest of the prosecutors. They asked that he go and get a passport. Why would an accused killer who's mentally insane need a passport? He's being indefinitely incarcerated by the state. Why does he need a passport? The judge, the prosecutor, even his own defense counsel crossed the line in allowing that. And the psychiatrists were totally derelict in their duty to help him do it."... Descano's office said it's true that prosecutors did not oppose him taking an escorted visit to get his passport. But Descano's office said prosecutors opposed his release and that he should remain in state custody.

it’s extremely corny and unprofessional for a police force to snap a picture of a suspect while apprehending them and posting it online like this. Even more so before charges have actually stuck.
Suspect knew the victim so all the "bad hombre" people saying how unsafe VA is calm down. When the police don’t talk much about the case, they already had a suspect.
So darn sad that parks and trails cannot feel safe . Absolutely Horrible.
IT'S 1 FUCKING INCIDENT. How do you people even go outside
The attack wasn't random. As long as you don't drive to the park with a knife-wielding murderer in your passenger seat, you should be fine.
So I guess fairfax will help him get a passport and a international plane ticket as well?

He was an illegal in CA who had a long rap sheet including rape and burglary.
He was arrested on Aug 4 for violating a home detention requirement and a CA Judge, Nichelle Holmes, immediately released Valdez.
Two days later, while trying to break into a home he murdered a man named Todd Stewart.
Because obviously a rapist and career criminal that ignores home detention is safe to send back to...home detention.

I'm making an assumption this scumbag was a gangbanger. But he's covered with gang-looking tats. So probably a good assumption.

If you apply for a passport, you'll get flagged if you have anything like this on your record. Hell, you can't get a passport if you have open child support debt.

* Irregularities in “low execution rate, tied-up resources, and failures in contract traceability” at the National Unit for Disaster Risk Management, with just 4.3% of its total appropriation of $15.3 trillion,”
* Funds for child and family welfare for 332 contracts worth $557 billion in 2026 of which 94.3% of the funds were disbursed without this sustained increase translating into verifiable improvements in the well-being of the communities.
* The Army has a budget deficit of $14 trillion and a significant portion of its air capacity is grounded: ‘Only 8 of 19 MI-17 helicopters are operational, and 18 of 49 UH-60s are unavailable due to maintenance or a lack of resources.’ Similarly, in the Colombian Aerospace Force, 131 of 386 aircraft are not operational, and only 52% are available for flight. This in the face of expanded cartel and militia activity. There are 17 more main points.

If you accept the question on merit, then you declare yourself either unloving and weak or unprincipled and weak. There are ways to "handle" it but they definitely don't involve a simple yes or no.
That said - if you have real principles you can pretty easily answer it. I support the right to life in all cases - or even I don't think govenrment should have the power to kill a citizen under any circumstance, even one personally painful or devastating. Either way he would have to appear passionate, and he never did. It was always going to be an exposing question.

You can easily cause it to fire negligently when drawing or otherwise if something gets caught inside the trigger guard. Holsters prevent that.
There are some specific gun adaptations that can make carry without a holster somewhat safer but not suitable really to discuss further unless a person has an absolute need to do it.
And fwiw, for jackets, suits, pants, you can make a carry holster out of velcro that holds the weapon at the correct draw angle, protects the trigger guard from the trigger being depressed and firing, and yet does not print the gun's outline to external observers. You can also buy these pants, jackets, or even a suit coat online with this already done.

Not openly. But practically, like under Biden, where border patrol "intercepted" illegals by assisting them with filing for asylum and getting temporary quarters, and then contacting NGOs to assist.
Then, like Obama, they'll use some twisted, fake metric (increase in border interceptions) to try and placate normies who want control, while actually accelerating the importation of migrants which all their radical supporters will know and support.

Once he was found mentally incompetent, and no one was gonna contest that finding, I'm glad he self-deported with help. He'd have been in and out of mental health like Irina's killer and would have killed more people here.
Now, he's his home country's problem. And they probably won't mess around when he harms or kills again. And Trump sure as hell won't ever let him back in.
And he paid for it himself.
Would I have preferred a competent to stand trial life sentence for a murderer. Yes. But with that off the table, this was the 2nd best option - he's gone and he paid to go and Tajikistan can do what they want with him there. There will be no "Maryland Man" drag out here...

The illegal immigrant perp and the victim worked together and were also engaged in an "intimate relationship." The couple planned to meet that day at the park where the murder occured.
The suspect allegedly stabbed the victim, Carmen Lizet Puch, before dousing her in gasoline.

The problem is that the judiciary is upholding bullshit decisions made by anti-administration politicos and handing down legal decisions that favor the illegals and the left in general.
The vast network of judges are, IMO, the acting government now. The administration is just reacting to what they do and tries to maintain order. They're succeeding, but they're stymied on a lot of things that shouldn't even be an issue.

Of course, the answer is that Karen wants to make men absolutely fucking miserable - it's the goal of the Sisterhood - and watching one escape her bony-fingered clutches and find something better than abject misery with a real woman is against nature, as far as she's concerned.
Karen believes the role of the American man is to make the payments on her Infiniti and raise her kids and keep her soaked in wine, so she can make him even more miserable then the Aztec yard boy who has to service her ice-cold, cobwebbed crotch while he works 80 hour weeks just to avoid her g-ddamned shrieking.

Meliza Campos-Sanchez, 26, was taken to a hospital for a mental health evaluation, known as a Baker Act, the reports said.

LOL: Secret Architect of Trump's Impeachment, Ukranian Agent Alexander Vindman, Defeated by Lunatic DSA Candidate in Race for Senator from Florida
Ashley Moody, who took the seat when Marco Rubio took All the Jobs in Trump's government, was already a lock, but now she's the Iron Clad Lock of the Week. Lieutenant Bearclaw will spend more time with his pastries.
It's a Who's Who of Who's a Commie. Pronouns shim/sher.
Far-left Florida state lawmaker Angie Nixon shocked retired Army Lt. Col. Alex Vindman in Tuesday night's special Democratic Senate primary. With most of the expected vote in, Nixon led Vindman, 56% to 44%, giving the far left a major success on an otherwise disappointing night in the Sunshine State. ... Nixon, 42, has been a member of the Florida House of Representatives since 2020, representing parts of her hometown of Jacksonville. Ahead of the primary, Nixon received endorsements from "Squad" Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.). Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.). Nixon was also backed by pro-Palestinian children's YouTuber Ms. Rachel and anti-Israel ex-Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.).
Here's the Scholar that Lt. Bearclaw lost to:
Like other far-left candidates in primaries around the country, Nixon has vowed to push for "Medicare for all," abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and end US aid to Israel if elected. Her victory came despite Vindman's massive fundraising advantage and name recognition stemming from his role in Trump's impeachment. Vindman had raised more than $16 million for his failed campaign while Nixon took in a meager $975,000, according to Florida Politics. ... Trump himself reveled in Vindman's defeat Tuesday night. "SleazeBag Vindman loses tonight to a Radical Left Lunatic. How cool is that???" the president wrote on Truth Social after the race was called.
GROSS: Florida Democrat Socialist Senate nominee Angie Nixon:

AG
@AGHamilton29 The worst thing that can happen to you in a Republican primary is a Tucker Carlson endorsement. This cycle: - Paul Dans dropped out in SC (losing badly)
- Ryan Zink came in a distant 6th
- Massie lost by 10% And now con artist James Fishback is getting destroyed in Florida...
And in more great news for black political representation, noted Negro Pastor Debbie Wasserman-Schultz won the nomination in the only remaining majority-black district in Florida, so you can see how important Muh Representation is for Democrats.
Wasserman Schultz's bid for a 12th House term will continue after she soundly defeated four opponents in Florida's 20th Congressional District Democratic primary, including progressive activist Elijah Manley, who chided her for running the majority-minority district. Wasserman Schultz, the former chair of the Democratic National Committee, opted to run in the 20th District -- which is more than 60% black and Hispanic -- after state Republicans reconfigured her former district, making it more GOP-friendly.Republican House member Randy Fine easily beat one of Tuq'r Qarslon's Nazi pals. And when I say "Nazi," I am not exaggerating.
In Florida's 6th District GOP primary, Fine easily turned back a challenge by far-right influencer Dan Bilzerian, who suggested in one campaign ad that Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler needed to be reassessed. Bilzerian, who referred to Fine as a "fat Jew," "Shylock," "Jewish supremacist," "Satanic whore," and "Satan's creepy little minion" in the shocking commercial, lost to the incumbent by nearly 40 percentage points.Both parties have Nazis, but only one party utterly rejects them:
Deborah CorsoObviously, Blizerian got the endorsement of fellow traveler Marjorie Trailer-Queen. More results:
@ViadelCorso2266 Because today I listened to a conservative space that at times sounded like a demoralization operation, I feel compelled to tell a story. And the most important part of this story IS THAT IT IS TRUE. Once upon a time, in a land called America, there lived two Nazis and two political parties: Graham Platner and Dan Bilzerian; the Democratic Party and the Republican Party. Biilzerian, the Nazi openly praising Hitler, peddling his "It's us against the Jew" rhetoric is running for Congress in Florida as a Republican. Bilzerian has received exactly ZERO in Republican party committee contributions. He has received ZERO Republican financial support, ZERO coordinated spending, ZERO endorsements, ZERO assistance from the Republican National Committee (RNC) or the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC). The ENTIRE Republican party establishment has aligned against him. Senators Ted Cruz and Rick Scott, House Speaker Mike Johnson, and other party figures publicly condemned him instead. No MAGA billionaire network opened its checkbooks or hosted fundraisers. No institutional PACs rode to the rescue. No Republican, including those described as MAGA campaigned for or with him. LET US COMPARE AND CONTRAST TO THE DEMOCRATS AND PLATNER. Compare the Republican Party's complete and total rejection of Bilzerian with the red carpet the Democrats rolled out for Graham Platner who literally had a Nazi Totenkopf carved into his chest. *Platner raked in tens of millions.
*Party committees (primarily the DSCC) filled his campaign coffers.
*Dozens of high profile Democratic politicians--Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Ruben Gallego, Ro Khanna, and a long list of senators, representatives, and state officials--lined up to endorse him.
*Democrat Billionaires and millionaires maxed out donations: George Soros, Alexander Soros, members of the Pritzker and Stryker families, Waltons, and many, many more.
*Progressive PACs and unions piled on. This here Democrat Nazi, Platner, got the full apparatus of support of the Democratic party. This here Nazi was showered with endorsements from its leading lights and millions in institutional cash. While Bilzerian received nothing but disgust, rebuke and repudiation from the Republican party- (including the MAGA coalition), the Democrats cashed up their pet Nazi.
A trio of scandal-scarred pols -- incumbent Rep. Cory Mills (R-Fla.) and former Reps. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-Fla.) and Chris Collins (R-NY) -- suffered massive defeats in House primaries across the state. Mills' loss to former Orlando TV news reporter Ryan Elijah in the 7th District was the biggest. The Trump-backed incumbent, who is under investigation by the House Ethics Committee for numerous disturbing allegations, is the 10th House incumbent to lose a primary election this cycle. Cherfilus-McCormick, who resigned from Congress last year after she was indicted by the feds for allegedly stealing $5 million in COVID-19 relief funds, finished a distant fourth in a failed comeback bid in Florida's 20th District. Collins, who resigned from Congress in 2019 after pleading guilty to insider trading and lying to the FBI, was among 10 candidates vying for the GOP nomination in Florida's 19th District, the seat being vacated by Donalds.Regarding Cory Mills: I don't know much about him, and I don't know why Trump endorsed him -- though it should be noted that Trump endorses incumbents over 90% of the time -- but he has a lot of baggage.
Rep. Cory Mills (R-Fla.) lost his bid for a third congressional term Tuesday night to former Orlando TV news reporter Ryan Elijah. Elijah, who once hosted "Good Day Orlando" and "Orlando Matters" on Fox affiliate WOFL, led Mills 47.1% to 34.2% with almost all the vote counted. Mills, 46, had struggled to raise money as he fought a House Ethics Committee investigation of "serious and complex" accusations, including claims of domestic assault, stolen valor and financial misconduct. Elijah racked up dozens of endorsements in recent weeks, including from Mills' GOP colleagues Anna Paulina Luna and Mike Haridopolos. The 54-year-old Elijah, who previously made an unsuccessful bid for Congress in Indiana in 2010, said the late support from lawmakers showed Mills had "lost trust and confidence." "This isn't personal for me. I'm in it so we don't lose this seat," Elijah said during a debate earlier this month.Cory Mills apparently voted to save Ilhan Omar:
🚨 BREAKING — IT'S OFFICIAL: Rep. Cory Mills, who was the deciding vote to protect Ilhan Omar from being stripped of her committees, UNSEATED by Ryan Elijah
— Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) August 19, 2026
This is HUGE!
Cory Mills likely would've LOST this seat for Trump and Mike Johnson
BIG WINS. pic.twitter.com/5Na5tiiOTr

"President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he had urged GOP Rep. Cory Mills to drop out of his Florida primary race before the embattled Republican lost Tuesday to former news anchor Ryan Elijah.
“I told Congressman Cory Mills of Florida, a friend of mine, to get out of the Race, but he wouldn’t listen. He thought he could win, so who can blame him?” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post."

But I think I found the real problem:
Mills is married to Rana Al Saadi. She's an Iraqi. According to their marriage certificate, they were married by Mohammed Al-Hanooti at the Dar Al-Hijirah Islamic Center in Falls Church, Virginia.
Al-Hanooti's sermons included calls for holy war against non-Muslims and proclamations that Allah will curse the Americans, British, and Jews.
Mills went jihadi.

Lot of political junk out there by campaign strategists and the online politically engaged. And you have people repeating that shit here that strategists plant or some person they take as an authority. What is recent is the spin on the candidate debate with some claiming Darlene had a poor debate performance.
At the end of the day, it will depend on turnout. Norman, like other candidates has his own skeletons like getting megabux for Covid yet opposing relief for ordinary citizens.
And since Norman lost out on the governorship because for whatever reason, he wasn't appealing, his team immediately pivoted to the Senate race. They already have the relationships with the politically online, the strategists, etc. So it allows them to spin up narratives a bit faster than Darline's team has.
But the truth is it is a close turnoff race probably between Norman and Graham and not being a polished candidate will hurt Graham in some ways and help her in others. And SC's geography and prior political divisions from that will also play a part.

Posted by: Smell the Glove
It has been helpful for the GOP primary voters to take out the trash like Crenshaw or Mills by voters or in some cases, by party officials like in Edward's case. But, in the rare case where the individual member is an asshole, like OH with Bernie Moreno's soon to be former son in law, Miller? mebbe, that trash is risking losing a safe GOP seat in a tight midyear despite a lot of people wanting him to drop out. I think the primary had already been done with the bad info surfaced about Domestic Violence claims by Moreno's daughter.

The 19-year-old was convicted in June and sentenced to 35 years behind bars for murdering the 17-year-old athlete at a high school track meet in April of last year.
On Wednesday, the trial judge who presided over the case was removed from the case as Anthony appeals his conviction.
His legal team argued that a retrial was warranted in part because state District Judge John Roach enforced overly strict courtroom rules and gave an interview after the trial was over.

He was an illegal in CA who had a long rap sheet including rape and burglary.
He was arrested on Aug 4 for violating a home detention requirement and a CA Judge, Nichelle Holmes, immediately released Valdez.
Two days later, while trying to break into a home he murdered a man named Todd Stewart.
Because obviously a rapist and career criminal that ignores home detention is safe to send back to...home detention.

Like it or not, Lindsay was an extremely popular senator, even among some Democrat voters because he provided service to constituents. He inherited Strom Thurmond's legendary team and kept it going. So his sister, got tapped first as temporary senator by McHenry and she decided to run herself. If she wins, she wins, and if she loses, she loses as she has to make her own case to win to the voters but then again, so does Norman who lost the governor's race and even failed to make the runoff for it.
And in that runoff, Darline won most parts of the state other than Norman's home base in upstate SC in a crowded primary fair and square. So instead of telling other people who they should and should not vote for based on criteria I prefer, I prefer to let those people in that state hash it out.
So, let South Carolinians settle it, I don't care who they pick as there is no perfect candidate out there lurking.

I honestly don't know--SC is a weird state politically with a substantial split between upstate and downstate that dates back to pre ACW times. It is a GOP machine state which started under Carroll Campbell as the first GOP governor and that blossomed with SC displacing leftward trending NH as the most important early GOP primary.
Norman was unable to make the runoff in a crowded gubernatorial field but was well set up to run a state race for Senate when Lindsay died and so he edged out retreads and no hopers to end up in the runoff with Darline.
Darline has scant actual experience as a candidate and it shows like in the debate. How much that counts versus prior name recognition and voter's genuine affection for her dead brother is going to be hard to fathom for outside observers. TJM, who is oddly absent today, might be teh best situated to comment on it.

Yea. And I'm not even sure that the ringleader guy who took the money wasn't just scamming stupid gullible parents.
They paid him millions, and he basically frauded up some sports pics. I don't think he really had any connections at the colleges to buy the kids' way in.
The parents were dumber than dumb. For the money they paid this scammer, they could have just made a direct donation to the school and got their brats in.

Debbie Washerwoman Shitz's crooked teefs crossed the finish line before her greasy spaghetti hair. I remember a magazine cover (when I lived in FL) of her so filtered & blurred she was unrecognizable. She hit all the branches & bark of the ugly tree when the stork dropped her. Maybe it was a cactus. If you try to think of a redeeming feature or character win you can find none. I have nothing other than wondering if she mated with the lights off after slipping drugs into his drink. Capturing him in her web while debating if she should then decapitate him. The next morning while looking at her he probably wished she had.
We should take a moment to remember Debbie's dental hygienists' peace of mind.

translation from El Espectador
[Ex President Alvaro Uribe's] analysis came after the De La Espriella administration submitted a report on Tuesday to the oversight agencies (the Attorney General’s Office, the Comptroller’s Office, and the Inspector General’s Office) that includes allegations regarding 22 critical areas of government operations, including ministries and departments under the Office of the President.
According to Uribe, this document describes a government “with simultaneous structural problems related to cash flow, debt, implementation, technical capacity, contracting, technology, information, and coordination.”
In that regard, “the great challenge is not only to discover who did what, but to determine how much it will cost to correct the problems identified and what can be fixed quickly without further paralyzing the government,” the former president emphasized.
(It is amazing to find that anything is working well in Colombia at this time)

The Uribe family has the same problem the Galan family had. Deep roots, family background and entry to the political machine, cut short by assassination by the Cartels.
De La Espriella is turning loose the dogs on the cartels, and most recently has announced that they have 4 Reaper drones, one owned by Colombia and three on loan from the US.
The Colombian Navy is also starting to round up drug trafficking FastBoats now, which I suspect is both a delight and a worry to elements of their armed forces.

Wednesday Morning Rant
The Fox News coverage is interesting in its framing:
Fox News Power Rankings: As Democrats turn left, Black voters tap the brakesThe headline and subheadline alone tell the story, but the article removes any ambiguity about the framing:
Two-thirds of young Americans and 71% of Hispanics disapprove of Trump, but Black voters haven't fully returned
Black voters haven't come all the way home yet. One in five Black Americans approves of Trump, but only 69% say they'll support a Democrat in their district. That’s 21 points below Biden's 2020 share of the Black vote, when he thanked those voters for delivering his victory.Note the language. Black voters have yet to "fully return" or "come home" to the Democrats in terms of candidate support. You see, black voters belong to the Democrat Party. They are Party property. They may have strayed over the past couple of years, but they'll return home eventually. Just like a lost pet. As one of the least sophisticated press outlets, Fox News is more foolish than most in inadvertently saying the quiet part out loud, but this is still a somewhat dramatic example of the phenomenon. The establishment attitude is pretty clear: black people are owned by the Democrats. Any deviation is merely a temporary condition, and it is fully expected for them to come to their senses and quit stepping out with their Republican side-pieces. It matters not what the Parties do, the Democrats are entitled to black voters. They own black voters. It just can't be any other way. As Paul Anka put it, "That's just the f**king way it is." Only an establishment so comfortable in its status quo could be so nakedly contemptuous while describing who is entitled to who's votes. This is how the political class views Americans, and is the root point of identity or other interest-group politics. One Party or another is entitled to racial votes, to education-level votes, to geographic votes, to _______ votes. Any skew between reality and expectation is reality's fault, and the aggrieved party didn't lose, he was merely cheated out what was his by right. This attitude is deeply cynical, defined by contempt and extremely distasteful. They fret over polls if it shows they're being cheated by voting blocs they rightfully own, and fawn over them when it shows everybody on the plantation where they belong. It's as grotesque as it is pervasive, although it is usually better-couched than Fox News managed. Every election, there is always at least some squawking from somewhere about "entitlement reform." I'm all for it, and it should start in the Parties. None of them are entitled to anything or anyone - and their naked contempt for the voter is getting more than a little bit old.

I guess they were unable to find better quality replacements, though, since it appears not much has changed. It's almost as if they didn't want to change because their upper level managers and owners agreed with the people they canned.

Let’s’ say middle aged white married men who attend church were at 55% support for Republicans. They’d say the same thing, this group has not returned to the Republican Party. That’s because religious middle aged white married men are like 75% Republican.
Political reporting loves to put people in easy to define categories. Black = Democrat. Married man = Republican. College educated = Democrat. southerner = Republican, etc. It’s also accurate for the most part. Stereotypes exist for a reason after all.
So when any group slightly deviates from the conventional wisdom they treat it like “when will this group go back home” because something is un-natural in the universe.

Until blacks prove the party wrong, they do belong to it, and everyone, not just the establishment, knows it. You could accurately say the same thing about several other groups. They're longstanding members of the Kill Whitey and Give Me His Stuff Coalition. Lots of whites of a certain vintage can't see this because they were raised on colorblindness and the rejection of tribalism.

CNN: Republicans are leading in the Senate generic ballot in the swing states
Sen Generic Ballot (swing states): 🔴 R+6
===
And this response from Seth Keshel
Let me explain just how stupid polling is in yet another way.
Simultaneously we are to believe that in NC, Cooper leads polling by an average of 8.5%, Brown by 0.6%, Jackson by 2.3%, Talarico by 1.2%, Hinson (R) by 1.7%, and Peltola by 2.0% - verifiable on the RCP aggregates.
Yet in those states, in which only one (R) leads, it’s the GOP leading by SIX on average.
That would require either all six states to have a lead of 6% for the GOP candidate on the nose, or for some states to have GOP leads of 12% while others are tied or the GOP candidate is behind (like Whatley is thought to be).

Polls cheat to get Donor $
Polls aren’t always measuring public opinion. Sometimes they’re manufacturing it.
We’ve watched the same pattern for years: poll after poll suddenly shows a socialist or far-left candidate “surging” or “in the lead.” Media runs with it. Donors open their wallets. Moderate opponents get pressured to drop out. Voters are told the “momentum” is real.
Then Election Day arrives and the numbers collapse.
Just look at the recent Democratic primaries. Polls dramatically overstated support for socialist-aligned candidates in places like Wisconsin and Michigan.
One outfit even admitted its “polls” showing big leads for progressive candidates were completely fabricated as a “social experiment” and those fake numbers still got shared by campaigns and outlets.
Posted by: whig at August 19, 2026 11:43 AM (E4rtv)
The media went hysterically sensationalist from the moment the body was found. They deliberately hid evidence from police, and manufactured theories, suspects, and motives.
I'm not even sure at this point the the crime scene ever really was as it was reported.
If it was, then my theory has always been pretty simple: who carves up bodies like that and puts them on display? Drug cartels. I suspect she was murdered by a drug cartel for some unknown transgression, or possibly to send a message to someone else.
The media always fantasized that it was a surgeon who dissected the body. It's always more sensationalist when the accused is some high-status person, rather than a lowly drug dealer. Same as Jack the Ripper. Anyone with any hunting experience could have cut her in half like that.

🚨 NEW: Deep dive investigation into 3,000+ Senate polls over the last 4 cycles. They've overestimated Democrats in all 4 cycles, 73% of polls overstate the Democrat, and it's worse right now, in the summer.
The average polling error across all polls was D+3.7, and 73% of polls released overstated the Democrat relative to the election result. Again, that’s across more than 3,000 polls, so that’s hardly just statistical noise.

It was mentioned earlier that the pharma's would come up with multiple strain vaccines and Dr.'s would choose what was relevant or some such.
Hillary f*cked that up and now the government dictates what the pharms will produce each year, regardless of whether it's even close to what comes.

the answer is, the chicken pox vaccination for babies.
basically varicella vaccination is recent, and other countries don't do it, because it will and does trigger latent chicken pox virus (in adults who had chicken pox like most of us).
when my kids were small my husband and then my mom got shingles, most likely from the babies' vaccinations.
it was so bad and so obvious that other countries discontinued varicella vaccination of children. of course we didn't
but we should.
so yeah, tons of adults will get their dead chicken pox latent virus reactivated by exposure to a fresh chicken-pox-vaccinated kid.

Yep. We know that at least 120k of 'voters' in that election may not exist in reality. NY has a particular shingle where one voter in reality becomes multiple entries throughout the state as 'cloned'. Many of which cast ballots and this insertion is done in the backroom by election officials, not even with a physical ballot fraud.
See Chris on X for the details which he found similar actions in some other states.
The hardest thing for most normal people to realize is how thoroughly corrupted the media and elections are in this country. And that includes fraud on behalf of the GOP--in primaries usually but a few times in General Elections--like for Dear old Mitch in KY.
And that is why the GOP Senate is fighting to preserve fraud--it is so that the Cassidys, the McConnells, and other pieces of shit can stay in office from primary challenges by cheating. Cheating is the heart of the Uniparty so they can set results down in advance in coordination with Deep State actors that know what they are doing and let them do it. Deep State gets support in return

my impression (totally anecdotal!!!) is people who had worse chicken pox when kids will get shingles worse/more likely to get
I was more exposed than my husband but didn't get shingles. I've taken care now of three older adults in my family with shingles and I never got. my chicken pox experience was mild.
btw these older adults WERE vaccinated, and still got shingles. one of them got shingles the week after his vax.
gives one pause.
I do think the newer vaccine (Shingrix) is better. that's the one to go with. but remember, even that is only effective around 5 years. docs will tell you it lasts forever. it does not.

there are other ways to "get shingles" - basically you get tired/worn down, and your existing varicella bad boys wake up to torture you.
so most of the time it's not "caught from someone" - but in the case of people who take care of babies, yeah, it does happen.
viruses stay with us. I'm a "strep girl" - I get strep throat a lot. it's in me. it takes a break, but it's never gone.

The label "the first Black president" was applied to Bill Clinton by Nobel laureate Toni Morrison in a 1998 essay.

Doesn't work that way if you have a systematic bias. Consider loaded dice and rolling them, the result will always be toward whoever loaded the dice wanted it to be.
Arguing for the naive position like you just did of both sides err, doesn't work when systematic bias is at play.
I spent a lot of time in the past doing regression modeling on elections, etc. And then spending time looking at the model prediction error scatter plots. Ideally, the errors are a random and the dispersion looks like a chocolate chip cookie. If there is a pattern, like Ruffini found where the prediction errors are not randomly dispersed, then you have an unspecified variable in the equation. And that is the polling predictive model has a Democrat bias.
And that bias is reflected in the RCP aggregate polling, the crap that Nate Silver puts up, and other election prediction models like betting crap relying on the poll data.
Crappy data means crappy derivative results.

"Timeline of Varicella Vaccine Introduction
Initial Licensure and Recommendations
The FDA approved Varivax (Merck & Co.) in March 1995 for use in healthy children aged ≥12 months, adolescents, and adults
The vaccine uses the live-attenuated Oka strain of varicella-zoster virus, which was licensed from the Biken Institute at Osaka University in Japan "
Ok, if it became mandatory in 1995, why do older folks who were not varicellaed get it? Or did I misread ? those who got varicella are not going to get shingles ?

Republicans Lose Deep-Red Pennsylvania House Seat Held for 30 Years

Special election and probably a bad GOP candidate. Democrats turned the whole thing into a show involving their Governor etc. to get a talking point. Nevertheless the GOP has reached near parity in actual voter registration in PA through Scott Pressly.
On one off special elections that become negated by the general in a few months, never read much into it. Instead, take a gander at Florida's elections last night indicating a very different outcome but across the state.

Lock them up before you get a Mangione assassination on your hands.
Advisable to red flag them first if that is allowed in that jurisdiction and even using VPNs don't hide fingerprinting of today's modern computers.
Trolling is becoming increasingly hazardous to the point that if you can continue to do it, it is not because the proprietors don't know who you are and where you are posting from, but you are not big enough nuisance to report to authorities. yet.
And the Digital Millennium Copying Act plus other federal laws can in fact make trolling a federal felony if the person involved ignores repeated and continuous banning from a platform. Becomes a form of digital trespassing. Again, whether the blog proprietors feel strongly enough to refer to federal prosecutors.
So whoever you are Mr. Troll, the likelihood is that CBD knows who you are and where you are along with sufficient computer identification that would stand up in civil and perhaps criminal court.
And if foreign, that also means that you can be arrested and extradicted even in the Turd World.

Media thrives on making people worry about random shit because it drives engagement. That is why local news long ago went to if it bleeds, it leads news. Boring statistical arguments would never make the media because it does not compel watching. That is why MSNOW got dumped by NBC, it got so ridiculous with its hair on fire coverage of the most recent outrage with nothing happening anywhere near their fearsome predictions, it simply became a Wed on MSNOW.
Deranged people can be obsessive watching hair on fire shit but normies eventually ignore and turn off warnings when they become excessive and not founded in actual events. The Boy that Cried Wolf story comes to mind.

Alexander's idealized body, exposed, vulnerable and open to death, almost has a feel of Christ trusting to God to deliver him. Siemiradzki did a number of Christ-centered biblical paintings so I wondered about a possible connection in the artist's mind.

I wouldn’t be too sure. Capital investments take a lot of planning, years ahead of time, and one of the keys to any successful economy is a certain kind of predictability, insofar as that is possible in this world. Nobody wants to take the risk of allocating a gazillion dollars towards something, when a merry band of dumb shit Democrats will simply come along and kill it. These things can’t be turned on and off and on and off like a light switch.

From what I recall from Western Civ class, oh these many years ago*, the "real" Greeks viewed the Macedonians in approximately the same way that coastal elites would view the residents of an Alabama trailer park.
It doesn't sound like anything has changed.
* And it's a mark of just how long ago that was that we actually studied the history of Western Civilization, rather than just hearing about how much white people sucked for 16 weeks.

Mine was a GenEd university class. It had 4 or 5 texts... stuff like Thucydides, and required multiple 10-15 page papers, plus a longer final paper and a final exam that consisted of one essay question written in a blue book.
The last I time I heard about this class, a decade or so later, was that it had gone to watching a video in every class and writing a paragraph about it.

Many labor unions make a multiple of the minimum wage. Raising the minimum wage from 7.25 to 25 could give some workers a $50/hour raise. It would be catastrophic and would fuck over everyone else.
That's why the Dems love it.

Henryk Hektor Siemiradzki (1843 – 1902) was a painter. He spent most of his active creative life in Rome.
The episode depicted in Siemiradzki's painting is connected with the following legend. During his campaign against the Persian king Darius III, Alexander the Great contracted a cold and subsequently fell seriously ill. The physicians were reluctant to treat him, fearing that the Macedonians would massacre them if they failed to overcome the illness and Alexander died. According to Plutarch, only his physician Philip, "seeing the serious condition of the patient, put friendship above all else and considered it criminal not to share the danger with Alexander and not to exhaust - even at the risk to himself - all means". Philip prepared a strong medicine and brought it to the sick man. Shortly before, Alexander received an urgent message from his commander, Parmenion, informing him that his physician had been bribed by Darius and would administer poison instead of medicine. As Philip handed Alexander the bowl of potion, the king asked him to read the letter he had received.
Nicely done painting; great detail & back story.

The Morning Report — 8/ 19 /26
Again, El-Sayed’s mother was helping the financial operations of a network that supported one of the most infamous terrorist leaders of modern times (Bin Laden), who orchestrated the deaths of nearly 3,000 Americans in 2001. That same network supported a terrorist group (Hamas) that committed the worst single day of slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust in 2023. And the “charity” network propped up the genocidal Jihad group that has spent years committing atrocities in Afghanistan: the Taliban. El-Sayed has not publicly distanced himself from Elkomy’s past, or indeed, from Islamic extremist groups in general. Why should he, when Islam explicitly teaches that Jihad is praiseworthy? Again, CAIR not only donated to him, but officially endorsed him and encouraged people to vote for him. If a terrorist front group endorses you, that probably means you are likely to promote the goals of Jihad. And the Muslim Brotherhood celebrated El-Sayed’s primary win. El-Sayed certainly — and proudly — supports wiping Israel off the map.Welcome to Michiganistan! Where we all slam for ISLAM!!! And despite New York City, the most Jewish city on the planet outside of Israel itself went utterly meshugah by voting in Momzer Mamdani, this still happened.
Now the largest Catholic civil rights group in the United States — the Catholic League for Civil and Religious Rights — has also asked Mamdani to stay away from the 9/11 ceremony, for the same reasons that the families and friends of those murdered on 9/11 gave. More on that demand can be found here: “Largest Catholic Civil Rights Group in US Urges Mamdani to Skip 9/11 Memorial Ceremony,” by Shiryn Ghermezian, Algemeiner, August 6, 2026:Well, leave it to Bill Donohue and the Catholics to step up and do the right thing. But there is no way that that evil scumbag is going to skip the 9/11 ceremonies. Because for him and every other Muslim on the planet, 9/11 was not an horrendous tragedy, to them it was a glorious victory. I fully expect ululations and the passing out of candy and Halvah in every Muslim neighborhood this side of the M-79 star system. I wouldn't put it past Hizzbollah hizzoner to add the names of the 20 hijackers to the list of the victims along with Bin Laden.
Considering the Democrats have a bigwig who honored her grandfather on Veteran's Day who served during World War 2, no not as a GI but in the Nazi Wehrmacht, perhaps my observation about Mamdani is less a nightmarish wisecrack than God-forbid a prediction of the future! And what a shock, the aforementioned Democrat bigwig turns out to be Kelly Neumann a fundraising boss in MICHIGAN! How do you say Ach du Lieber in Arabic or Pashtun...or with a Yuper accent?!!! From that madness we flashback to the glory days of Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants and this character he and his ilk inflicted on us...
A “Maryland father.” That’s how the propaganda press described Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an illegal alien from El Salvador that the Trump administration sought to deport. Despite accusations of MS-13 ties, human smuggling, and domestic abuse, Democrats and their allies in the corporate press turned Abrego Garcia into a national martyr. But the innocent “Maryland father” narrative is collapsing once again with new details revealed by the Department of Justice about Abrego Garcia. . . As the propaganda press’ cover-up for criminal Abrego Garcia continues to fail, they keep trying to find new ways to preserve their carefully crafted narrative about him, this time by just not telling their readers about the new evidence, while in the past just parroting the preferred narrative from a court or Abrego Garcia’s lawyers.Other than the aforementioned meshugas, yesterday was another primary day in several states and here's the tale of the tape/recap, courtesy of Breitbart.

I get it. But it's totally appropriate for Mamdani to be there - it's a city full of people who elected him because they hate America and love Islam and want to see a Muslim spike the ball on their graves.
Black, white, brown, Muslim, atheist and Jew alike, they all share the common ground of hatred for this country and its people.

It’s worth noting that Gina Carano’s Hollywood career collapsed after she shared a social media message suggesting conservatives are being “othered” much like Jewish people in 1930s-era Germany.
Roseanne Barr lost her signature ABC sitcom, and so much more, for one racially-charged Tweet.
O’Donnell will face no repercussions for saying such cruel, fact-free things.

they are ships for shipping ships
the problem then is, the route back to the US
across the Pacific? If the lift ship doesn't fit thru the Panama Canal, you'd have to offload the rocket and truck it back to Texas
Similarly, if you go the other way, west, your lift ship has to transit the Suez Canal or go around the Cape Of Good Hope, which is definitely a movie I would go see

The Senate is currently in recess - but not the kind of recess which would allow Trump to do anything, just the kind where most of them are not in DC - and isn't scheduled to return until 9/14. So he wouldn't be doing Senate things anyway.
According to KY law, he wouldn't be replaced before the November election even if he were declared to be dead.

No, they are closed. And we better pull our heads out of our fourth point of contact because slow and steady isn’t winning races. Engaging, charismatic, and influencer playbooks are on the left. Now I don’t think they will win against saner R candidates in a state like Fl, yet. But if we don’t start with better campaign strategies, they will win in more places than will make us comfortable.

Think of "We Democrats are at **WAR** with the DSA!!" as the mid-20's version of "Hey a random lady ate a sick bat in China and now a few people seem to be sick...".

I'm glad he lost now. He seems to be plagued with a lot of scandal.
He had domestic assault accusation that led to a restraining order, and an ethics committee investigation into sexual misconduct and campaign finance violations. He also has been reported as being under criminal investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice
It's better than he lost now than in the general election.

The new rules will lead to a ban on the sale of the majority of tires in the state because they don’t meet the new efficiency standards.
The regulatory agency, full of unelected bureaucrats, claimed the new rules would lead to a price increase of only $6.50 per tire in the second phase; however, Bret Gladfelty of Goodyear said the increase would end up being several hundred dollars.

Trudeau senior.
I'm reading about the American Revolution and one item I'd forgotten now resonates: as part of the war's conclusion, 100,000 Loyalists emigrated to Canada. That right there is why they have this weird, completely irrational childish hate of the US. They stayed loyal to Britain and for a while, it worked out, but now the Empire is gone, they have a sports logo for a flag, and no one respects them.
China is using them as a two-looney whore and India has turned them into a penal colony. No wonder Alberta wants to get away from it.

Mrs. Lloyd was diagnosed in early July, had her surgery last week. Yesterday, she had healed to the point where the drains could be removed. It's crazy how fast things are moving.
The Dems make a big stink about how all of this should be free, but nothing is free, and what should cost more than human life? These same people pressuring sick people to kill themselves. We need to ban guns because of suicides but if the government endorses it, go off yourself.

Same here. Once I had my cancer diagnosis, it was test after test, scan after scan. In 6 weeks I went in for surgery. Wasn't long after that - chemo, then radiation. It was a tough year, but I can honestly say, except for the radiation treatments, I had phenomenal care. Thank God I don't live in Canada where I would have to fend off MAID.

This begs the question - it assumes that it can easily be done. The Dems at most can win razor-thin majorities at this point. I assume they're just going to go full revolutionary, and pass laws that will be struck down and then ignore them?
And assume everyone else will be fine with it?

Again, the mainstream media ALL KNEW Joe Biden wasn’t making decisions
“Tell me about the word choice, and then tell me about those people who were really calling the shots around the president.”
Jake Tapper “So the Politburo, not a term we came up with, it's a term from within the Biden administration, as the name would suggest is a tightly held group of senior advisors — these were the individuals that help steer the government.”

The FDA just approved Moderna’s new mRNA flu vaccine, mFlusiva.
Here’s what the trial found:
The mRNA shot reduced the absolute risk of getting the flu by just 0.8% compared to a standard flu shot.
And 6.4% of people who received it experienced severe reactions.
We are disappointed to see the FDA approved another disastrous mRNA vaccine.

Hillary subsequently repudiated that to stay viable after Obama's lurch to the left, but that is often the way electoral politics work. The Labour Party in the UK went the same way and had to embrace the "third way" to get back into power.

Pretty sure there was just a story out about how the flu shots have very little to no effect.
IIRC, Hillary Clinton ruined the annual flu shot process decades ago. The process had been that each manufacturer decided which flu strain would be the most common/worst, so that there were a variety of flu shot options each year. Somehow Hillary got involved (remember her meddling in healthcare?), and the government started to pick which flu strain to stop and all flu shot manufacturers then produce the same shots.

How is it unconstitutional? States can set their own rules for how they choose electors. It's stupid to do that national popular vote thing - but seems to be allowed.
"Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector."

On Wednesday its armed forces warned Gulf countries against hosting or assisting American forces, saying it would be tantamount to joining the war on the US side.
"We wish to warn that any assistance or facilitation provided to the aggressor U.S. military amounts to participation in the U.S. military operation," armed forces chief of staff Ali Abdollahi said.
"It seems unlikely that such a large number of military aircraft, particularly refueling aircraft could be present at regional bases without knowledge of host countries," the official continued as cited in Mehr news agency.

This is what Bill Clinton did, not just with the border, but also with violent crime. Remember, he executed a guy during the 1992 campaign, showing he was no Mike Dukakis.
The problem is that the Dems' primary system is empowering the lunatics, and the Dem leadership has clung to power to the point that the party is U-shaped, with a bunch of geriatric politicians clinging to power and now a bunch of young inexperienced Theater Kids challenging them. The GOP has its Turtle, but overall there is a smoother demographic transition underway.
J.D. Vance exemplifies this, which is the the Dems are so scared of him.
The Dems right now are in a purity spiral, and the party may well splinter because the DSA types will not compromise an inch.
In the GOP, the MAGA wing is consolidating power, and by 2028, the last holdouts will have been eliminated.

WOAH 🚨 Lead Anchor at CNN Jake Tapper comes out and admits THEY ALL KNEW Joe Biden wasn’t really President and calling the shots
He says there was an elite inner circle of advisors who would make the decisions and “steer the country.” He gives the names of the people in that group
Again, the mainstream media ALL KNEW Joe Biden wasn’t making decisions
“Tell me about the word choice, and then tell me about those people who were really calling the shots around the president.”
Jake Tapper “So the Politburo, not a term we came up with, it's a term from within the Biden administration, as the name would suggest is a tightly held group of senior advisors — these were the individuals that help steer the government.”
The mainstream media was in on the coverup. How are there no consequences for these people

Counterpoint: the repeated Dem debacles in the 1970s and 1980s led to a more centerist leadership, and while we all despise the Clintons, remember that Bill originally ran on Trump's current platform of no immigration, reducing government and protecting American jobs.

Counter-Counter Point: When Clinton played centrist but sane liberal during the General Election, he was lying through his ass. The FIRST major policy thing that cocksucker did after taking the oath is defer to the wishes of his harridan wife, Frau Gruppencankles, when he tried to force the military to openly admit homosexuals to the uniformed services. The outroar was so loud that he had to backtrack, and Don't Ask, Don't Tell was the compromise.
There were other, similar indications where he proposed radical bullshit policies from his wife and had to backtrack. Probably because it would have generated enough hatred that he feared losing access to all that strange poon he was pulling into the Oval Office. I wouldn't be surprised if there was still Bubba DNA rubbed into the top of the Resolute Desk after all of these years.

Geez. WTH!?
At least one positive, Rep. Byron Donalds won the Florida Republican gubernatorial nomination. Yay!
And one very interesting, also from Florida: "State Rep. Angie Nixon, a progressive who recently joined the Democratic Socialists of America, won an upset victory over former National Security Council aide Alex Vindman." (USA Today) He outraised her funding; she beat him by +/- 10 points!
Ms. Nixon, who joined the DSA in June, was supported by some progressive House members, including Reps. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Maxwell Frost of Florida.
How the hell have we gotten to this point where - in our nation's 250 year, our 25 anniversary of 9/11 - socialism supported by Omar/Tlaib (NY Times) or by AOC/Sanders and/or by the Justice Democrats, DSA, and/or alleged "grassroots chapters" practically storms the seats of government for takeover? (Too dramatic? But quite concerning, and I really thought socialism & Islam didn't interface well. Fooled again.)

What's known about Dr. Adam Hamawy's parents aside from they were Egyptian immigrants? Nothing. And he has had a controversial past.
Rutgers AAUP-AFT endorsed Sue Altman, a former top staffer to Senator Andy Kim for US Representative of New Jersey’s 7th congressional district. A member at Rutgers-Camden, a former high school teacher, and former executive director of the New Jersey Working Families Alliance, who had walked on the union’s picket lines to run against... MAGA.
She had signature issues but her campaign for congress was allowed to go on, after a judge ruled this she retained a adequate # of petition signatures.

Adam Hamawy said on Hasan Piker’s show that he does not support Israel’s Iron Dome missile-defense system, arguing that it insulates Israel from the consequences of war
Linda Sarsour on Facebook: Shame on Sue Altman for trying to malign a man who has RISKED his life to save children and families around the world. This should disqualify her from any endorsements including the New Jersey Working Families Party. She must apologize NOW.
A coalition including CAIR Action NJ, CAIR NJ, NJ Muslim Civic Coalition, American Muslims for Palestine - NJ, Palestinian American Community Center (PACC), Emgage Action, Climate Revolution Action Network (CRAN), Jewish Voice for Peace, If Not Now, Hindus for Human Rights Action, & Resistencia en Acción New Jersey condemned Sue Altman's mischaracterization of Hamawy's comments.
Sen. Sanders endorsed N.J.'s & Justice Democrat's Hamawry; DSA's/AOC endorsed Rabb (Phila. PA) & New York's/DSA's Claire Valdez. They are expected to act as a unified, left-wing voting bloc in the next session of Congress.

Ending a 40-Year Dynasty: Gingrich masterminded the 1994 midterm elections, successfully breaking the Democratic Party's uninterrupted 40-year control of the House of Representatives. This historic shift was widely termed the Republican Revolution.
The Contract with America: He united Republican candidates across the nation around a unified, aggressive legislative text called the Contract with America, bypassing traditional local campaigns to nationalize the race against President Bill Clinton.
Guerrilla Media Strategy: Long before social media, Gingrich utilized late-night televised C-SPAN speeches to speak directly to voters, weaponized aggressive partisan rhetoric, and framed the political battle against the Clinton administration as a "fight of good versus evil."

- A federal judge has ruled that a state judge who used AI to handle the entire decision in a case so she could spend the day playing Cookie Run Kingdom or something equally important cannot be sued. (Tom's Hardware)
The state judge's actions may not be reasonable, or even legal, and the decision can be appealed, but the judge cannot sued.

- Move fast and crash planes: Google just bought the anonymised databases of the defunct Spirit Airlines for $10 million to train AI models. (CNN)
With OpenAI training on Reddit, Amazon training on Twitch streams, and now Google training on incompetent and defunct airlines, I don't think we have to worry too much about AI taking our jobs.
And more about AI destroying the economy so there aren't any jobs to be taken.
- Building a Steam Machine in an ASRock Deskmeet X300. (WCCFTech)
Interesting thing: The Deskmeet X300 has four DDR4 SODIMM slots. Which is great if you just happen to have a stockpile of DDR4 SODIMMs from old laptops and mini-PCs.
Which I do.
- Best Buy apparently did not steal half this customer's memory. (Tom's Hardware)
They took half the memory out, yes, but returned it along with the laptop. And since it has a dedicated GPU, performance won't suffer too much.
Actually, it just sounds like one stick of RAM went bad, and since the laptop was upgraded by a third-party, it wasn't Best Buy's responsibility, and the system is now working again.

Feral Word Search
Make a little booklet full of word keys, little themed lists of words of varying degrees of oddness, along with some kind of temporary "sticky note" or maybe a weird paperclip with a little pointer or flag you could adjust somehow, and then you use whatever books or magazines you have lying around as the material you search in.
Kinda like a word search scavenger hunt. But re-useable. And with unlimited variations. And no guarantee of success.

but the judge cannot sued.
Judge Mari Parlade can (and should) be impeached by the legislature for what is essentially dereliction of duty and violation of part of her oath of office.
From the oath is this concluding phrase:
"... and I will well and faithfully perform all the duties of the office of the district court judge for the 8th judicial district, family division, department A, on which I'm about to enter, so help me God."
It could be strongly argued that using AI to build the decision is not faithful performance of her duties, and by using it for that purpose, it is a delegation of her responsibilities to a non-intelligent LLM, at a time when the courts have been repeatedly sanctioning lawyers for submitting briefs with LLM generated hallucinations (citations to cases that do not exist) in them.
A database of AI hallucinations in legal cases (by country) has been compiled by a French lawyer Damien Charlotin:
https://tinyurl.com/bdsyuu63
The United States leads this with 1,324 out of the total 1,933 cases documented.

Here's Judge Mari Parlade taking the oath of office, given by Judge Rebecca Burton:
https://youtu.be/TORwoDOyxj8
@ 1:07:
Burton (smoothly): "all the duties of the office of the district court judge"
Parlade (pausing twice while saying): "all the duties ... of the office ... of the district court judge..."
Parlade does get the wording correct, but you can see she's struggling to remember and correctly repeat an eleven word long phrase. Short term memory can only comfortably handle 7 things so perhaps that's understandable.
However, it did make me wonder just how sharp this judge's mental acuity is, now further called into question by the willingness to use an LLM to build a legal judgement.

His views "evolved". He "grew in office". The prissy little ponce is now likely "sympathetic" to the Jew-Hate wing of the Democratic party. He's not troubled by Musloids pushing blacks out because he was never black himself. Big Mike, on the other hand, is the blackest black woman around.

My big black one is chasing his adopted sister around. This is their pre-breakfast workout. But I think he's playing a bit too rough with her at times. He outweighs her by 4-5 pounds and has a longer reach. And when they wrestle, she sometimes lets out an unhappy squawk -- rare for a cat as quiet as she is.
When I see that I break it up by water spraying him as a deterrent.
She's not an aggressive cat. I wish she'd give him a good swipe across the nose to settle him down.

Wonderful. Before I joined my SBC church I looked around for a Presbyterian Church in America but nothing nearby unfortunately. We have a great pastor so all things worked out. We do not stray from Biblical preaching. Very expository, exegesis, not eisegesis.

I'm worried that the property tax and insurance will be higher than I'm comfortable with. And that I won't have enough closet space -- though I am going to donate or dispense with a lot of stuff here.

My comic bits about three of their predecessors, written in '06 and after, still make me laugh. The concept was that the three cats could talk among themselves, though not with their Servants (the humans), and they would comment on human activities with curiosity and comic dialogue.
Marie-Antoinette the smart black cat: "Doesn't do to let the humans know you love them. Even though you do."
One sketch appeared in our writing group's anthology, and another on a website that I'm not sure is still up.

You can be watching TV and see Coca-Cola, and you can know that the President drinks Coke, Liz Taylor drinks Coke, and just think, you can drink Coke, too. A Coke is a Coke and no amount of money can get you a better Coke than the one the bum on the corner is drinking. All the Cokes are the same and all the Cokes are good.

This year we have our new driver safety monitoring system with outward and inward cameras in use. It uses an AI analysis of front and driver facing cameras to nudge behavior of the driver towards safety and away from things it has set as "negative". It has an "alert" and "event" threshold, with alert simply notifying the driver (via audio tone) of something that needs immediate correction, and "event" meaning the incident is sent immediately to the office for review and potential penalty assessment. Some behaviors (like not putting on a seatbelt and moving the bus, even in the bus yard) have alert and event set at the same point in time, which would mean an automatic penalty.
I am reserving judgement until I've had a chance to work with this new system in place. We'll see how well it does, how accurate it is, and how many hallucinations I end up having to file for a correction on.
I do expect to hear a lot of grumbling about this.

Also in the article, we aren't given the lazy Nevada judge's name, the court or any details on the case. We don't even get the name of the AI that ended up "judging" the case.
The irony here is that to learn about anything about this case, I had to go to AI, and from there I discover that this article Pixy gave us is over 95% eyewash and pretty much content-less.
How did it become policy to hide the identity of the guilty?
And why do I waste time reading articles by humans if they can't even do their damned jobs to answer the Who, What, Where, Why and When?

I for one am glad I do not have to watch the same Blood-borne Pathogens video for the 15th year in a row.

Just finished watching the first two episodes of the 2022 Why Didn't They Ask Evans?, an adaptation in four parts of Agatha Christie's novel. This one is fun so far, with real humor -- possibly because it was adapted and directed by Hugh (House) Laurie. He had a solid background in comedy before his turn as the difficult doctor; you remember he worked with Stephen Fry in comedy, and played the hapless Bertie Wooster in a fairly recent adaptation of the Jeeves stories by Wodehouse.
So this miniseries has good genes. We'll see how it goes.

Socialism is slavery. Islam is slavery. They are both whole-of-society grifts, that make everyone and everything into the property of the ruling clique, that got its hands on the levers of state power and eliminated its competitors.
The rhetoric of socialism and Islam, all the blah-blah and yadda-yadda, is just the scam patter of a confidence scheme. If a scruffy guy comes up to you in a grocery store parking lot with a rhythmic patter, you don't have to listen to the words to dismiss him. You already know that he's just going to say whatever he thinks would get you part with some of your folding money.
So it is with socialism and Islam, as with any grift. Looking for logical holes in the rhetoric is a job for chumps. They don't even care themselves if their own words are true or false, only whether they're effective at manipulating you.
So why would they be incompatible? Because their rhetoric is incompatible? The rhetoric that literally does not matter, even to themselves? There is no contradiction, because they are literally the same grift under the hood.

Pulled over because of stupid TV's 'see something say something' (pre-obama). First cop was more or less reasonable (my truck had been reported by a neighbor). Second cop rolls up and during the discourse he says, "I could have shot you." I looked him in the eye and said, demonstrably, 'You would have shot the wrong man'.
He shut the fuck up.

There is unrest in the forest, there is trouble with the trees
For the maples want more sunlight, and the oaks ignore their pleas
The trouble with the maples, and they're quite convinced they're right
They say the oaks are just too lofty, and they grab up all the light
But the oaks can't help their feelings if they like the way they're made
And they wonder why the maples can't be happy in their shade
There is trouble in the forest, and the creatures all have fled
As the maples scream, “Oppression!”, and the oaks just shake their heads
So the maples formed a union, and demanded equal rights
“The oaks are just too greedy, we will make them give us light”
Now there's no more oak oppression, for they passed a noble law
And the trees are all kept equal by hatchet, axe and saw

We had a beach cottage on north Everett Bay, Puget Sound. 1974 a huge egg-shaped root ball washed ashore during a massive storm/exceptionally high tide. The solid egg root ball was approx. 8ft high by 12ft long by 10ft wide, weathered, nearly perfectly smooth with a shattered tree trunk jutting up from one end of the egg. Four years ago I looked at the sat view on google Erf. It's still there.

Preach it. Contrary to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, with of its "poison pills," the Death Penalty is licit. The Catechism of the Council of Trent calls for its "judicious" use for the punishment (of the criminal) and the protection of the innocent. Judicious use doesn't mean limited.

There is, though it's almost all CO2, and surface pressure is around 0.006 ATM.
There was discussion on an ONT a month or three ago about it; the atmosphere is about the worst possible for space travel. Too thin to use as an air brake, so you have to carry fuel to slow you down. But also thick enough that you need heat shielding for the friction.
Posted by: mikeski at August 18, 2026 11:40 PM (VHUov)
The opportunity for closest approach is cyclical, in the 1960s it was something like 1982 and they had plans to try it, but the funding was slashed. Getting to Mars would take almost two years. So the notion of landing, grabbing a few rocks and immediately returning doesn’t make any sense either.

Probably the grizzly bear, but a moose can do some serious damage to a bear. Wolves, but it takes more than two to do it, and one or more will get hurt.
Full grown moose are formidable, with sharp hooves. The bulls have horns, and can lift a bear and throw it from the right angle.
Baby moose, OTOH, are bears' favorite meal.

Mars surface pressure is about 6 mbar, or .006 atm roughly. It can get up to double that in the deepest basins.
That "dust storm" scene from The Martian wasn't accurate, they just needed some dramatic device. Wind speeds on the surface can hit 100 mph (in those dust devils), and you'll see that quoted, but because the atmosphere is so thin, the force is not that much.
100 mph Martian wind would feel like a 7 -10 mph breeze on earth. The dust storms would be a bitch. Imagine getting covered in fine flour by that 10 mph wind.

He had script approval on "Air," even though he wasn't in it. He requested that the part of one of the AA characters be expanded, which it was subsequently. The character in question, a black NIKE exec, is one of the best and funniest things in the movie.

Mars has an atmosphere, it is very thin and mostly CO2, Nitrogen and Argon.
It used to have an atmosphere estimated at about 1 bar, but that was at the end of the Earth's Cambriam period so not so interesting today.
Mars has planet wide dust storms, and dust devils as well. There is just enough moisture in the atmosphere for it to freeze out at the poles as hoarfrost in the planetary winters - in the north and south poles.

Yes, indeed. Mars is about the sour spot for "EDL", entry, descent and landing.
The boys at JPL call landing on Mars "Seven Minutes of Terror". The mean one-way light time from Mars is about 12.5 minutes. When they usually do the EDLs, it's about 14 minutes.
It takes about 7 minutes from entry to landing. So, when they get a signal from the spacecraft that EDL has begun, it's already either landed or crashed and burned.
They have to wait another 7 minutes to know that fate.

I believe MJ is also (or at least was until recently) a major part owner (majority owner?) of the NBA Charlotte Hornets.
I didn't know about the NASCAR team.
He had script approval on "Air," even though he wasn't in it. He requested that the part of one of the AA characters be expanded, which it was subsequently. The character in question, a black NIKE exec, is one of the best and funniest things in the movie.
Posted by: mnw
Yup all true. And yes he's still the majority owner of the hornets. Seems he's getting more run out of the nascar teams these days. Why he traded the best hornets players cause they couldn't win with him. They can pay him. I'll rebuild.

Take the Moon. No atmosphere. And gravity is only 1/6 that of Erf. Powered descent with rockets are easily doable.
Take Earth. Powered descent would take as much fuel to get down as to get up. But the atmosphere is thick enough to do all the braking you need to bleed off orbital to escape speed off.
Mars gravity is 1/3 earth. More fuel. The atmosphere is not think enough to do all the braking. Terminal velocity on Mars is still supersonic. You need fuel and heat shields both.

That's gravity, not pressure. Mars' low pressure is very bad for other reasons -- you need a pressure suit (but it could be more a "tight spandex" type of thing with a breathing helmet). But it's the lower gravity that's the problem.

Orbital mechanics and the fuel/delta-v requirements vs current engineering and rocket capability.
Invent an Epstein-drive fusion engine (which is possible physics wise, just well beyond anything our current engineering and materials science is capable of), and you can get to Mars at 1g constant acceleration trajectory in 3 days. Jupiter in 6 days, Saturn in 8, and about #2 weeks to Neptune.
Uranus in 12 days.

The "two years" thing is the launch window from earth to Mars using the most fuel efficient orbital transfers. It's about 26 months, the synodic period of Mars.
Now, the travel time using the standard Homan transfers and may some other more complex tricks varies from about 7 to 10 months.

That happens every year after an anniversary year. Last year was the 85th. The 0 and 5 years are usually big. I noticed that when I was going. I went for the 50th, and the 51st was smaller and built up more and more until the 55th where it got crazy again. Then it tapered the following year, and slowly built up to the 60th.

It's basically accelerating at 1g halfway, then turn and decelerate at 1g so you match velocity with the destination at the end.
The cool thing about this is you naturally have 1g artificial gravity the whole way. Now, for cargo and other things than could handle higher g's, you could do it faster.
Now, with chemical rockets, this idea is just ridiculous, considering the amount of fuel mass you'd need. However, when you can get exhaust velocities at a significant fraction of light speed, the mass becomes much less.

90/80 is summer here. 90/90 isn't unusual, and sometimes its 100/90. July is the gross offender but this year july was very different. High 70's, really low humidity, maybe 2 days of rain, and 60 at night. I needed a sweatshirt on the bike during the day sometimes.

Many years ago I worked in an Alaskan resort hotel.
We got a lot of conventions, some rowdier than others. The worst was a convention of school superintendents.
Textbook companies had rooms with full free bars, hot and cold running whores, the works.
Those boys could party. Harder drinking and louder than the commercial fishermen.
I don't recall ever seeing that many whores in that town before or after. They must've flown them in special.
This makes more sense when you realize that the superintendent can have a large degree of clout when it comes to choosing textbooks, and the books were expensive even then.
If paying a whore to give this muppet a hummer means you're going to move 10,000 copies of a hundred dollar book...

Elon and SpaceX have some insane ideas about Mars entry. Now, if you've got enough fuel that you can lug up out of Erf's gravity well, you get to Mars faster. The limit of this is you thrust out and achieve a heliocentric orbit with an aphelion at about Jupiter radius. You time it so you're flying past Mars.
You've got a shit ton of excess velocity relative to Mars. You come in hot like that and dive into Mars' atmosphere. Rather than just "skipping off" you turn so you have *negative lift*, pushing down, rather than up. And this is hypersonic big time relative to Mars atmosphere.
This keeps you curved around inside Mars atmosphere to bleed off speed. But it takes a while. When your speed drops below orbital speed, you've got to flip around to get start gaining positive lift. You keep that up long enough to bleed off enough speed to make a gentle powered landing with the remaining fuel on the Starship.
That flipping maneuver is called something like a "hypersonic roll of death" or something.
Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at August 19, 2026 01:39 AM (w6EFb)
Now, no human pilot could do that hypersonic death roll maneuver. Control has to be precise and done on microsecond time scales and all that. A little too much and the vehicle is instantly destroyed by the aerodynamic forces.

Mars' atmosphere is very problematic. It's too thin to efficiently perform air braking, but at the same time thick enough that you have to take it into consideration at even modest velocities. I can't imagine how difficult it would be trying to land when coming in at hypersonic velocities...

We are NOT allowed, we have the RIGHT, given by God to video the police. The police do NOT have the right to monitor us all the time without probable cause: the 4th amendment forbids them. It is the police who are in the wrong, but it will be hard to convince enough people how wrong this is unless the people get more riled up about this travesty. And getting riled up must be done very carefully so we don’t give the police any excuse to arrest us. This is going to be a long haul trek.

Jonathan S. Kreiss-Tomkins (D) and Tom Begich (D) will advance to the general. Still too early to tell which of the 12 (!) Republican candidates will advance.
For Senate it's Peltola (D) and Dan S. Sullivan (aka the "real Dan Sullivan" (R). The other two will be selected from six Republicans, two Democrats, a Libertarian, a Green, one Undeclared, two Non-partisan, and an Alaskan.
For House it's gonna be Nick Begich III (R) and Bill Hill (Non-Partisan), with the other two slots being chosen from four Democrats, two Libertarians, two Republicans, a Non-Partisan, and an Undeclared.

Moose moments. Compilation of dogs being silly. Begins with a very dramatic dog screaming about getting his nails trimmed. Talking parrot gives uncanny valley vibes. Watch cat. Baby squirrel with paralyzed back legs is taken in by kind couple. I would never. I don't think I have any claustrophobia, but this is nightmare fuel. Horse meets dolphin. Big chungus oak tree. Monkey popcorn party. Radio-controlled tank has got some horsepower. Stag gives a couple of warning huffs. Last week's eclipse. Humanoid robot "Superman" breaks Usain Bolt's record. Not good at stopping, though.

Posted by: bob (moron inbobnitus) at August 18, 2026 06:58 PM (/h0Lb)
Yeah, I'm curious about that too. I'm sort of an expert on chromatic aberrations myself. Only because my eyesight is dogshit and I wear thick high index of refraction polymer glasses to squint at the world Mr. Magoo style. I'm looking through quasi-prisms when I have glasses on, basically.
The aberrations occur on any object not directly in front of me. And the aberration increases the more I go off axis. Things shift colors depending which side they're on/refraction angle. And that also screws with depth perception because some aspect of comparative color is also used as by your depth senses. No problem with contacts which I prefer.

Very French thing to do, though can't really blame them I suppose. The London gold exchange collapsed soon after, by 1968 a two-tier pricing mechanism, culminating in a closing of the "gold window" where the dollar could be exchanged for gold at $35 an ounce in 1971. A "floating currency" ever since.

There's nothing more touching than watching a Veterans Class (for dogs 7 and over) at a specialty. Whereas in regular competition, applause is considered just plain wrong, it is expected that the spectators will clap and cheer every veteran competing.

Our old friends hear and respond. Their eyes brighten and they gain a swagger in their step. Some of those watching may be crying and sometimes the judge will be crying too. We love and respect our elders.

Best dog ever. Friendly with everybody when I was around, but protective of the wife when she was alone. He'd put up with little kids crawling over him or grabbing his tail for awhile, then he'd get up and move away. After 2 or 3 moves, he'd just go to the door to be let out.
Cancer got him at 12. We've never even thought of another dog. At well over 29, not only are both of us physically unable to give a dog the kind of exercise they need, he just spoiled us.

It's already started, the groundwork has been laid. Just like back in 2013 when blacks were still all the rage under Obongo, I warned right here the woman push was coming, then in 2018 I warned the tranny push was coming, then in 2024 I warned the islamist push was coming. Well I've landed on the next one but it's only a guess or as Kamala might say, an outline of a guess. It's a doozy, too. I think it's "young people".
Hear me out. You know who else had "Youth"?
I'm serious. That's the shit that is headed our way next behind the barbarian muslims. I really think so. The Left works YEARS in advance. Not days, or weeks, or months. Years. Not certain, still mulling it over here. This is live. But I think that's how they're going to unload their next batch of commie jizz in America's face.
The youth of America are hard done by and Democrats have the solution. Not just the next solution - maybe even the final solution. But they have to do it multipronged (the way they're doing it) so they don't completely lose older people or any other fucktards.

If you wanted to show you've arrived, as a country, well you need an Obelisk. There's a couple interesting tales about how they ended up where they are now. I think they should have stayed at Karnak and everywhere else, but the leaders of Egypt needed hard currency, and that was one way to get it. Selling stuff.
Excavation cost a fortune, and investment money wasn't forthcoming without some incentives. Not really trying to justify what happened but that was the reality at the time, for a long time.

I just saw last night that Gene Kranz, fabled Apollo flight director, turned 93 yesterday.
Margaret Hamilton, who was the head of the software development for the Apollo guidance computer and who famously posed next to head-high stack of the source code, shared the same birthday as Gene, and she turned 90.

Sad news today for music fans. 💔
Frank Beard, the longtime drummer of ZZ Top, has passed away at the age of 77.
Born on June 11, 1949, in Frankston, Texas, Beard helped power ZZ Top’s unmistakable sound for more than five decades. His steady beat was the backbone of countless classics, including La Grange, Tush, Sharp Dressed Man, Legs, and Gimme All Your Lovin’. In 2004, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of ZZ Top.
For many of us who grew up in the 1970s and 1980s, ZZ Top’s music was everywhere… on the radio, on MTV, in our cars, and at countless parties and concerts.
ZZ Top’s influence extended far beyond the music industry. Fans may remember Frank Beard’s animated appearance alongside his ZZ Top bandmates in a 2007 episode of King of the Hill, a series that is now part of the Disney family of entertainment properties.
Away from the spotlight, Beard was a devoted husband and father.
He is survived by his wife, Debbie Meredith, and their children.
Thank you for the music and the memories, Frank.

Also impassioned. I absolutely scream sometimes when I see these affable, confused reactions of GOP candidates to the outrages Dems are perpetrating. If I ever got on a stage with Xavier Becerra I would literally shout at him in rage to GET OFF THE STAGE RIGHT NOW and go find those tens of thousands of missing children who crossed the border during Biden's term and are now God-knows-where. Becerra was responsible as the head of the Office of Refugee Resettlement. I would SCREAM at that guy. I'd ask him, "Where are those girls right now? Where are they TONIGHT? Get off this stage and go find them!"
Granted I don't know how that would go over with the gen pop, but anything less simply wouldn't convince most people that Dems need to be thrown out.

Fun trivia; Frankston is only a few miles SW of Tyler, and in the late 60’s / very early 70’s; the members of ZZ Top, unknown at the time, cut their first tracks at a nondescript backyard recording studio a few blocks away from where I live now.
The young engineer who ran it was a whiz kid who’d inherited some money and was buying all the new electronics just becoming known.

Please spread this as far and wide as you can, this man can NEVER become Governor of Oklahoma. He's the reason Chinese nationals are buying up farm land, running illegal marijuana farms, with forced labor, banned chemicals, and are having shoot outs with omma officials and osbi. One was just arrested in Pwrkins Oklahoma with nearly 50lbs of flower, he was transporting illegally.
Trump has endorsed the other guy, but…
TW Shannon won the primary for Lt Gov. He seems a good sort. Can we just skip the run-off, the election, and the impeachment and just put TW in the Gov's chair directly?

2) educate: this is contributing to the problem, and the problem is solvable in these ways
4) call to action - motivate: Get on top of these things and you will be heading in the right way, this is what it will look like when you start getting it right
5) encourage / Pep-talk: you got this, these are your signposts that you are going in the right direction, come back and talk to me if you get stuck, it will suck but it sucks now, and this is an exit.

They certainly went too far, but let's look at the other side of that coin.
What happens when the "preservers" decide that it shouldn't be preserved. Then you get Buddha statues blown up.
And many (most?) American and Canadian Tribes have decided to play dog in the manger as far as archeological studies are concerned.
The negative side is that we lose that knowledge. Kennewick Man is a perfect example. The scientific community wanted to examine the corpse to track the course of human occupation in the Western Hemisphere. The local tribes were all "sacred this and sacred that". Some black robed jerk decided that the tribes could take possession if their " ancestor".

Quicker Hits
Outstanding:
Libs of TikTokMaryland Man Must Go.
@libsoftiktok BREAKING: The DOJ is moving to REOPEN the human trafficking case against illegal alien Kilmar Abrego Garcia through the appeals court after charges were previously dropped.
Democrats are pretending that they want to distance themselves from their violent foreign terrorist influencer, Hasan Piker.
The debate over Piker blew up over the weekend when Rolling Stone published an extensive profile on him that included an overview of his upbringing in Turkey, his morning routine and a glamorous photoshoot at his Los Angeles home with the headline, "Why Is Everyone Scared of Hasan Piker?" Some conservatives, including co-host of ABC's The View, Alyssa Farrah Griffin, re-upped their criticism of Piker in response to the weekend attention, with Farrah alleging the "Piker phenomena" is a "desperate desire on the Left to find its own Joe Rogan/ Manosphere powerhouse" and Elon Musk tweeting "he means what he says," quoting Piker saying "we're going to destroy the white race," a statement he made mocking right-wing conspiracies.Alyssa Farrah Griffin is a "conservative"?
Some centrist Democrats called on progressives to distance themselves, such as MS NOW's Joe Scarborough, who referenced some of Piker's most controversial anti-Israel rhetoric while discussing Abdul El-Sayed's win in Michigan's Democratic Senate primary on Monday, accusing progressives more broadly of being "too woke to call out the obvious." Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., when asked by ABC News over the weekend if Piker should have a role in the progressive movement, didn't answer directly, but lamented that Democrats need to do more to reach young voters, who "are engaging in mediums and conversations that we have a responsibility to attend to and be responsive to." Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., is among multiple progressives who have appeared with Piker online or campaigned with him, including Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed, Reps. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., Ro Khanna, D-Calif., and Ilhan Omar, D-Minn. El-Sayed's affiliation with Piker in particular has prompted sharp criticism from moderate Democrats, including Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., who told El-Sayed via a Fox News interview last week, "I dare you to continue to campaign with people like Hasan Piker," while longtime Democratic strategist James Carville threatened to leave the Democratic Party earlier this month if Piker didn't, and Rep. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., also blasted El-Sayed for campaigning with Piker.Hasan Piker admits that the Democrats are practicing taqiyya. He says Democrats are doubling down on their extremist policies while merely "moderating our comms," that is, rhetoric.
Max 📟Coming soon: "Hasan Piker 1.0 was craaazy, man. But Hasan Piker 2.0 is moderate and sensible and electable." Hm, I wonder if Hasan Piker is right that the Woke 1 Was Crazy Brigade is moderating their comms while sticking to their extremist positions?
@MaxNordau Aug 11 Abdul El-Sayed surrogate Hasan Piker explains the importance of lying to voters: "I think our politicians, whether they be AOC or anybody else, they're not running away from progress." "So their pragmatism isn't to moderate on their policies. Their pragmatism is to moderate on their comms, on their communication." He admits that El-Sayed's true beliefs are "electoral poison": "You got to moderate your message, even if you don't want to temper your movement, in order to sell it to the public."
PolymarketObjective analysis from Andrew Stiles: "Real man" Chinese communist and terror dick-suck Hasan Piker whines like a loser and grovels like a bitch.
@Polymarket JUST IN: AOC is distancing herself from past positions on defunding police, prison abolition, & decriminalizing border crossings ahead of a potential 2028 run. -- Axios
Polling suggested Piker was on track to celebrate another victory last week in the Wisconsin gubernatorial primary. The radical leftist he endorsed, Francesca Hong, was expected to win by double digits. She ended up narrowly losing to an establishment-backed opponent, David Crowley. Piker responded by throwing a tantrum. He lashed out at "the fucking national media" and "the median American voter" for sabotaging Hong's campaign. "Fuck 'em and fuck Thanksgiving," he huffed, referring to Hong's view that the holiday should be canceled because it celebrates "colonialism" and the murder of "Indegenous [sic] folx [sic]." Then, like a total bitch, Piker practically begged the Democratic Party--an institution he has ruthlessly attacked as insufficiently sympathetic to Hamas, Luigi Mangione, Mao Zedong, and Fidel Castro, among others--to stop being so mean to him.Piker, relentlessly pushed by the leftwing media as the left's answer to the Masculinity Deficit, whined that Democrats need to defend him more when people say bad things on Twitter!
I get the feeling that this guy has a folder on his computer called "Taxes 2021," and inside that folder is a subfolder called "Show Ideas," and inside that subfolder is another folder called "Scalding-Hot Poop Videos." Just a feeling I get. I haven't seen his computer. The Jews haven't leaked it to me. Yet.
"I know we don't always see eye to eye on a lot of stuff, but you have to literally, at some point, I know you don't want to do this, defend me," Piker groveled pathetically. "Not because you love what I have to say, not because I'm part of this coalition, even though I am, whether you like it or not, but you are going to inevitably have to say, 'This is a ridiculous conversation that we're having, because the real conversation that Republicans don't want to have is the cost of living crisis.'"
The millionaire influencer went on to say it would be helpful if Democrats could be "a little bit more honest about how I'm not this dangerous, toxic radical force" whose radical views will hurt the party in general election matchups with Republicans. Meanwhile, Piker's establishment critics do not seem particularly eager to concede that point. In Michigan, for example, recent polling shows the GOP nominee for U.S. Senate, Mike Rogers, leading El-Sayed by several percentage points in a race that--on paper--Democrats should be heavily favored to win. A lot is riding on the outcome. If El-Sayed wins, Democrats will be the ones groveling. They'll agree to Piker's terms and give him a speaking slot at the 2028 convention. If Rogers wins, Democrats will be pretty annoyed and looking for someone to blame. Piker's feelings may never recover.He's gayer than a spaghetti-strap t-shirt with the words "Free Mustache Rides" on it above a line-art drawing of Freddie Mercury sucking a whippit. Evidence: Piker, his terror pal El-Sayed, Chris Hayes, and Democrat Senator John Ostorov are all "dandymaxxing," wearing metrosexual or even full-on gay fashion to appeal to male voters. I mean... Sure, whatever you gotta do, Kings. Police stopped another attempted mass invasion of Ceuta. Note that the socialist president doesn't want to stop the invasion, but other European countries are economically isolating Spain over his mass-amnesty policies, so he has to make a token effort.
Moroccan police have blocked a second attempt by migrants to cross the border into Ceuta en masse. Riot police were deployed at the border on Saturday as hundreds prepared to storm the Spanish territory, two weeks after tens of thousands made the crossing. Migrants gathered in the border town of Castillejos after calls were made on social media encouraging a second attempt. Moroccan police arrested about 300 people, mostly from sub-Saharan Africa, for attempting to cross into Ceuta. Another 61 people were arrested for "inciting and promoting" on social media, reports said."Some" remain? That's the spin. It's thousands:
This follows the incident on July 30 which saw at least 72,000 people pour across the border in an attempt to illegally enter Europe through one of its only land borders with Africa. At least 88 people died in the attempt, with many drowning or being crushed to death, in what was described as the single largest illegal influx into the EU. Most of those who reached Ceuta were returned to Morocco, but some remain in the exclave.
A doctor in Ceuta is almost crying on live television.

I've said it before. This is just another example of their magical thinking. They really believe if they incant the right words, chant the right spell in the correct pattern, they can rewrite reality to their desires.
They simply haven't cracked the code yet. They want to rewire your entire brain with their insidious speech.

I'd wager a very very very small percentage require any medical treatment at all. They just require free meals, free sleeping quarters, and if they can swing it, free medication for a little start-up entrepreneurship.
And, in case you're wondering. A hospital in Spain can't kick out patients they suspect are faking illness. Their medical ethics laws make it a long drawn out formal proces that doesn't happen overnight....and when they final do get discharged, they'll just come back with another symptom the next day.
Unregistered foreign nationals and tourists are still guaranteed emergency medical coverage under Spanish public health guidelines, preventing immediate rejection based on paperwork or assumptions of malingering.

Jesus Christ stop wasting our damn money. Department of Trump’s Vengeance. 🙄
it's not even about that. They are intentionally eroding trust in our institutions. They've been doing it for like 70 fucking years now.
I'm so tired of them re-filing bogus charges over and over hoping they finally stick this time. How does this improve inflation and the cost of groceries?
They’re trying harder to convict this man of literally anything than anyone ever tried to convict Trump of his very many obvious crimes of which he is certainly guilty.
Judge: What are we charging him with?
DoJ: Human trafficking
Judge: Oh, that's a serious crime. What evidence do you have that would support so massive a charge?
DoJ: he carpooled to work once
DoJ: And, I mean... just *look* at him.
The Roy Cohn ideology - never admitting a mistake and doubling down. It is what he did in Iran, with Abrego Garcia ( the tattoos), with Renee Good, with the reflecting pool... everything.
He is dangerously stupid and when wrong his sycophants are ready to tell everyone that the emperor he has clothes on.

hasan is not an intellectual. he’s an embarrassment to submidwittery. listen to him speak. he’s actually, legitimately stupid.
but being a leading light is not his role.
piker is a permission giver. he says wild, accusatory, hateful things and brands out-groups as evil.
people follow him not because he's smart, they follow him because he gives them justification to hate while casting it (at least in their own minds) as justice and tolerance. it allows them to view some people as less than human. this belief unlocks permission to act beastly toward others and call it virtue.
his entire product is "feel good about being a bad person, feel good about being a coercive crybully taker instead of a builder or a maker."
he sells license. and a lot of badly adjusted cluster B jerks are lined up out the door to buy.
it's pathology club: external validation for those with externalized identities.
it’s catnip for becky from vassar as she moves into the karen stage of her pokemon cycle.

That would have been a hilarious world war the way Tucker wants it.

Japan can't take its resources because we are in the way and has to fume at us doing nothing. Over in Europe it is a puzzler on how we fight Russia with Germany since there's no way to land troops with the Royal Navy in the way - we aren't at war with them or are we?

There are a few guys about who chop up clips of this idiot to keep track of what he's up to. He's a foreign nepo anchor baby trying to fit in with the leftists at the top in his million dollar mansion. He's at war with a dude who lived with his elderly mom and dad who gets more views and money than he does without leaving his room. He daily threatens to kill himself because his own fans aren't being compliant enough. Two girls on Youtube being catty about his ugly designer clothes got him to flip his entire image to wearing a suit and tie all the time to impress them.
He's a symptom, not the disease.

Found myself in a kind of dingy industrial area without anyone milling about, spidey sense went off that I'm maybe in a place Whitey shouldn't be so my head is on a swivel.

She is part Establishment. She is literally a paid actor in the role, and does what she's paid to do. She was paid to run by the Justice Democrats and took out a nobody Dem in a safe Blue District, and kept saying what she needed to to keep her backers happy...but she got in line when Pelosi needed her to, because that's where the real money is. She's not going to fight Schumer.
2028 is wide open though. The Dem bench is pathetic. She honestly might be one of their best chances. Dems need youth energy and turnout...and she might be really strong in that area. The fact she's trying to moderate now really seals it that she's prepping the battlefield for it.

What they believe, is that no culture or cultural practices, mores, traditions etc, are superior in any objective sense.
It's quite a bit more insane and is worth making a distinction. Rational logic, the scientific method, all that stuff. Stuff people deduced 5000 years ago. Hell, running water, sewage treatment, modern medicine can not be judged "better" than living in a cave and burning whale oil for light. It's a special form of stupid. This is the impetus behind "Indigenous Ways of Knowledge" you'll hear sometimes.

chromatic aberration is an effect you can get in a lens or telescope where the different colors in white light split up because they have different wavelengths and so things can appear to have colored fringes.

The point could be as simple as "This small country had 8 million people. Because they weren't happy with how things were distributed, by ignorance, arrogance and murderous zeal they killed 2 million of those people, a full 25% of the population."

All of them are stupid about communism and socialism. It is almost 35 years before the USSR ceased to exist and the Wall came down in 89.
Britain's Labor Party running the UK into a ditch from socialism was in the 70's and thus almost fifty years ago, Sweden retrenching on socialism due to currency problems, the 1990's.

But its "hard" to grok 25% of a population just offed. So - as you saw a few posts ago - some just choose to move on past.
That's key. That's really important. That's how you start to understand how people work.

The Climax of Pol Pot was that he decided Urban Living was bad so he had the military frog-march the entire Urban population out into the rest of the countryside to live better. Including the occupants of hospitals - get walking, or die. Then when they got to their destination there were some fields where they were plunked down and told to farm. No tools, no shelter, no food.

Despite someone's classification as a "safe" country, it is anything but. Pickpocket teams are everywhere. Duo motorcyclist snatch and grab teams are on every single side road (even in the Cities). There is human shit all over the place, mostly from kids who run around naked with no supervision (between 4 and 10 years old).
You walk around with your head on a swivel, or you become a mark....or step in something regretable. The smells are horrific, and sanatation services leave much to be desired. Then again, there is a whole class of people who do their shopping in the trash. 30% of the country still doesn't have indoor plumbing. And, up, don't go down to the nearest rivers or you're likely to see how their sewer system actually works.
I hated India. The cops are pricks and likely retarded as a group. And, if you get back to your hotel with all your personal items, and clean shoes, it was a banner day. Now, you only have to wait for the soup du jour terrorist group to try and take over your luxury hotel. Never going back. Ever.

Fantastic: Somali Immigrant Named "Oustanding Refugee Award for Entrepreneurship" by Minnesota Charged With Stealing US Taxpayer Money Through Medicaid Fraud (and Also Running a Sex Trafficking Ring)
Well, that is certainly outstanding.
In 2021, Salman Ahmed Elmi was awarded the Outstanding Refugee Award for Entrepreneurship by the Minnesota Department of Human Services. Now, he's facing charges in connection with a Medicaid fraud scheme with alleged ties to a sex trafficking ring.
Elmi, a native of Somalia, was charged last week with three counts of aiding and abetting theft by swindle and five counts of aiding and abetting theft by false representation. Prosecutors allege Elmi and three associates -- Frank Reeves, Viktoriya Komonash and Andrea Sampson -- ran four agencies that they used to bill more than $4.5 million to Medicaid since 2023. Those agencies were called Reva Health, Reva Autism, Helpful Housing and Homefelt Assisted Living. Elmi and his associates allegedly recruited young women who were homeless or struggling with addiction, housing or finances. They then rented apartments in the women's names using fake pay stubs and enlisted them in a pay-for-sex scheme. Investigators say they've been tracking the alleged sex trafficking ring since 2019. Sampson and Reeves were arrested as part of the sex trafficking ring bust last week.
About that last part: Soros-connected "prosecutor" Steve Descano of ultra-blue Fairfax County, VA, helped an Islamist killer flee the country.
The group then began stealing victims' identities to bill Medicaid in their name, according to court filings. Prosecutors say Elmi billed Medicaid for more than $1 million in services that were not provided or not eligible. He and his co-conspirators are accused of falsifying documents to get Medicaid reimbursements. Elmi was released from custody on Monday, though a judge ordered him to surrender his passport and remain in Minnesota.
In yet another jaw-dropping illustration of soft-on-crime progressive "justice," Fairfax County's Soros-linked prosecutor Steve Descano reportedly pushed a judge to spring an illegal alien Islamic extremist -- already found not guilty by reason of insanity for fatally stabbing his landlord -- so the man could be driven to the Tajikistan embassy in Washington, D.C. for a foreign passport. Not long after, the same killer was handed an unescorted 48-hour "weekend pass" from a Northern Virginia psych ward and promptly used it to board a one-way flight out of the country. No, we're not making this up.
This story is INSANE...

- after 9/11, I really thought they should take the steel columns, cut them up, and put a memorial for each person killed, in their home town, country, or city (except anyone who lived in muslim country) they should have been the height of the person, and laser cut with name, DOB, location when killed, etc.
- I think Ukraine should have saved up all the turrets they blew off of Russian tanks and used them to line the border. Standing on the barrel like a lollipop as reminder.
- And I think any muslim in the country who talks about "taking over" and conquering the USA should be deemed an enemy spy, and put on a pike at the border.
These are 3 of my ideas. I have many more.

Failures at every step.
6 - The Acquittee remained subject to this Court's Order...
7 - the Acquittee was permitted to leave to an apartment made available through the Fairfax Permanent Supportive Housing Program.
Who permitted him to leave? How? How was that even technically possible? It should have been blocked by some fricking Microsoft process management program. Why didn't the FPSHP have a list of conditions that barred admission? Among them, admittee is subject to a court's order to not leave inpatient hospitalization?
Badly designed processes up and down. There were people who saw this happening, saying "But we're leaving these holes!" and "We need to change the business rules!" and a bunch of dumb supervisors said "We're doing it this way" and here we are and no one will lose their job. Just a phone call, "Let's add a condition to that release form."

Apparently she's a puppy and will eventually, at 12mo, will "learn" to follow peer pressure to nap on her mat. Or something.
I hope she starts a revolution to eat on HER schedule and nap on her own schedule. She does stop to nap when she feels like it here but in a pack and play. Or a formal nap in something called a crib upstairs.
She already knows how to strong arm her siblings, so no worries there. UGH.
My hope is that DIL will drop her off here more often vs this kennel.
She'll probably be fine. Her sister at 15mo stole food from slow eater toddlers, so survival is in our DNA.

As previously covered in this subreddit, while Ayan Farah Abukar of Bloomington stole millions via Feeding Our Future, Minnesota DHS gave her an "Outstanding Refugee Award for Entrepreneurship" in 2021. The occasion even deserved a personal congratulations from Governor Walz. She eventually pleaded guilty for her role in the scheme in which she personally netted nearly $6 million.

I have a friend who is going through the naturalization process (from Sweden) after he found a nice American girl who made him an honest man...
The green card process is quite honestly quite baffling to me. It seems that its rather opaque, expensive and kafka-esque.
He couldn't travel to games (he's a pro hockey player) in Canada while he was going through the process because he wouldn't be allowed back in, but then last summer he had to leave the country for 90 days and then come back on a specific day. It was so weird when I hear the story relayed to me.
Not saying it shouldn't be hard to become a US Citizen but its kind of whacked seeing it play out.

The one and only time I was in a serious fight, it was high school, gym class, and it was with a couple of sisters who were not Alaskans, they were imports from the Lower 48, heavy into melanin. One demanded that I let her use my deodorant. Um, no. So the other one pushed me over a bench and whacked my head on the metal lockers. Not content with that, the first one took a swing. I moved, she hit a locker, and that really pissed her off.
I ended up with several lovely bruises, a cut on the back of my head, and a couple of lovely swollen knuckles. They ended up expelled permanently, back when that meant something and there was a will to discipline. You know, the Dark Ages.
Low IQ and no idea of the boundaries of good behavior. Anger and violence as the only response to any stimulus. Civil terrorists. I'm sure they learned nothing whatsoever from the encounter.

Abdulrahman El-Sayed Was Set to Appear at Islamic Conference with Pro-Pedophilia Imam; Now the Pedo Cleric Is Booted, But They're Keeping the Islamist Who Called the Holocaust a "Hoax"
As Hasan Piker said of Michigan voters: "You're all piece of shit Islamophobes" for noticing.
Abdul El-Sayed To Headline Islamic Event Alongside Pakistani Cleric Who Forced His 13-Year-Old Niece Into Marriage, Was Denounced for 'Pedophilic Rhetoric'The terrorists realized that Michigan voters might not appreciate Islam's views on forced child marriage, so they disinvited this guy. But they're keeping the Holocaust denier. On that hill they will of course
Tariq Masood urged his congregants to marry off their own female children and invoked Sharia law on the question of women's education
Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed will spend Labor Day weekend alongside a Jew-hating Pakistani cleric who has promoted antisemitic conspiracy theories and admitted to forcing his 13-year-old niece into marriage. El-Sayed is scheduled to speak at the Islamic Society of North America's (ISNA) 63rd annual convention, held in Detroit from Sept. 4-7. El-Sayed, whose father-in-law is a founding member of the ISNA--which is affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood--will speak Sept. 5 on the oddly titled panel, "Cultivating God Awareness in a Turmoiled America," according to an itinerary. The convention features a rogues' gallery of notorious Muslim figures who've engaged in Holocaust denial and the persecution of Christians and have also been unindicted co-conspirators in terror plots, including the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. But one speaker stands out for his particularly noxious record: Tariq Masood, an influential Pakistani cleric who is also on the ISNA roster. Masood, a "mufti" qualified to issue religious laws, is scheduled to speak on a panel about "avoiding mental illness in youth," including how parents "can prevent or minimize the impact of any trauma leading to a mental illness." The topic is an unusual fit for Masood, given his past advocacy of child marriage. According to multiple Pakistani media reports, Masood in 2021 admitted in a sermon that he forced his 13-year-old niece into marriage, and advised his followers to do the same with their young female relatives. Masood also said it was a husband's decision whether or not his wife can go to college or must remain a housewife, citing Sharia, or Islamic religious law. In 2024, Canadian activists urged the government to block Masood's visa to the country over his "pedophilic rhetoric." Masood has also promoted inflammatory views about Jews. In a 2024 sermon titled "The Final Humiliation of the Jews," Masood said, according to translations of the event, that Jews' "cunning minds" had worked to bring the world under their control.
Islamic Group Pulls Pakistani Cleric Known for 'Pedophilic Rhetoric' From Convention Featuring Abdul El-Sayed--But Keeps Imam Who Called Holocaust 'Hoax'I added that last sentence. It's true in spirit.
The Islamic Society of North America convention also features an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing
A Pakistani cleric who admitted to forcing his 13-year-old niece into marriage will no longer appear at the Islamic Society of North America's annual convention, where Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed is scheduled to speak over Labor Day weekend. But El-Sayed will still share the stage with plenty of controversial speakers, including Islamic scholars who have called the Holocaust a "hoax," accused Israel of bankrolling ISIS, and defended the practice of sex slavery and marital rape. Tariq Masood was slated to speak on a panel about youth mental health but "is no longer speaking at the convention," ISNA said Monday following a Washington Free Beacon report on the influential cleric, who has defended child marriage and admitted that he forced his young niece to get married, remarks that prompted Canadian activists to urge their government to block Masood's visa to the country in 2024 over his "pedophilic rhetoric." The report stoked outcry against El-Sayed, who has sought to cast Republicans as "pedophile protectors" for allegedly blocking the release of Jeffrey Epstein files. ... While Masood seems to have crossed a rhetorical red line for ISNA and El-Sayed, the convention will still feature a number of speakers with records of extremism. That could further fuel concerns about El-Sayed's connections to Islamic extremists. El-Sayed, who is running against Republican Mike Rogers, has already faced scrutiny over his father-in-law Tayeb Jukaku's position on the founding committee of ISNA, which the federal government identified as a public-facing group for the Muslim Brotherhood and linked to the financing of Hamas, the Free Beacon reported. Texas-based imam Yasir Qadhi, who will appear on several panels over the weekend, has called the Holocaust a "hoax" and said Adolf Hitler "never intended to mass-destroy the Jews." He currently works as a booker on the Tucker Carlson podcast.
If you don't listen with an open mind to Islamic defenses of sexual slavery, you're an Islamophobe and Zionist, says Tucker Carlson, who just wants you to respect free speech (as long as that speech is from Muslim terrorists and Nazis).
AbdulNasir Jangda, another Texas-based cleric who will speak on a panel with Qadhi, has defended the practice of sex slavery and said that husbands have a right under Islamic law to rape their wives, according to reports.
... Qazwini, the head of the Islamic Institute of America in Dearborn Heights, recently prayed in a sermon to "grant victory to our brothers in Iran" and "inflict defeat upon Your Zionist enemies." ... Other convention speakers include Siraj Wahhaj, a New York-based imam who was an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.El-Sayed's father-in-law is a founder of an Islamic terror group.
Abdul El-Sayed's father-in-law, a top donor to a super PAC supporting the left-wing Michigan Senate hopeful, is among the top leaders of an Islamic organization identified by the federal government as a public facing group for the Muslim Brotherhood, a Washington Free Beacon review found. As part of his role with the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), which the federal government linked to the financing of Hamas, Tayeb Jukaku contributes at least $5,000 to the organization annually. Jukaku has served on the 20-member founding committee of ISNA since at least 2007, according to the organization's magazine, Islamic Horizons, and has been a member of the group for a "long time, cannot recall [when I joined]," according to Jukaku's online bio. Federal prosecutors identified the organization as an unindicted co-conspirator in the landmark 2007 terrorist financing case USA v. Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development, which culminated in the conviction of the foundation's founders for funneling $12 million to Hamas. They also identified the ISNA as one of eight entities "who are and/or were members of the US Muslim Brotherhood."Not just his father-in-law -- his mother is a terrorist, too. From midwesterner.news:
Jacqueline El-Sayed married El-Sayed's father, Mohamed El-Sayed, not long after he immigrated to the U.S. in the early 1980s with Fatten Fathy Elkomy, the U.S. Senate candidate's birth mother. "They ended up getting divorced," El-Sayed said of his birth parents during a 2017 speech before the Islamic Foundation. "And my mother, she remarried a gentleman who was working as a translator in the Middle East and moved back to the Middle East." From 1999 through at least 2004, Elkomy worked for the Islamic American Relief Agency, also known as the Islamic African Relief Agency, which operated over 40 offices throughout the world ostensibly focused on health care, orphans, and disadvantaged people in areas of conflict. In October 2004, the U.S. Department of Treasury designated the worldwide network, along with five senior officials, as an organization supporting terrorism, including support for Osama Bin Laden, the mastermind behind the 9/11 terrorist attacks carried out by al-Qaeda that killed nearly 3,000 Americans.It's almost as if all of these people have deep ties to the worldwide Islamic terror network and are infiltrated into the US to subvert it from the inside. El-Sayed is now trailing Republican Mike Rogers -- but only by a smidge.
CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten warned Democrats their Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed is "historically unpopular" and could be throwing a "lifeline" to Republicans. Enten broke down numbers out of Michigan's Senate race on Friday and highlighted some "troubling" figures for Republicans hoping to defeat Republican Mike Rogers. El-Sayed, a progressive Democrat, recently won his primary against Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI). Citing a Fox News survey, Enten noted Rogers is leading El-Sayed by four points overall and five points among independents (the poll has a margin of error of three points). This, he argued, is "extremely unusual" and highlights how unpopular El-Sayed is as a candidate:El-Sayed, he added, is a "weak candidate," especially when you stack his net favorability against other Democrats in battleground states races.
This is extremely unusual because across the political map, as I was looking at these different Fox News polls, I couldn't find another example where the Republican was actually leading among independents. And it turns out that candidate quality may in fact, matter, at least in terms of how voters see it, because in this same poll, the Democratic candidate for governor was ahead. So this is unique to the Senate race, and it is quite a troubling result for Democrats and quite a heartening one for Republicans.
Tucker Carlson and his guest falsely claim Iran is not a theocracy and is actually a very “liberal” country. They say Tehran is filled with extravagant music, restaurants, and laughter, and that anything otherwise is just Israeli misinformation.

Remember her? Trotsky to Bernie's Stalin an election cycle or two ago.
The difference between her and "Doctor" Jill Biden is that Stein is an actual MD... Haaavard Medical School, no less, and she's old enough that it still meant something.

"Documents state that Officer Conroy approached on a bicycle, which Stein grabbed, leading to Officer Moore attempting to help. The bicycle hit Moore in the forearm, and while the bicycle was raised, Stein allegedly kicked Moore multiple times in the right leg near the groin. Moore was later diagnosed with a strain in his left forearm, a contusion in the back of his right leg and a groin injury."

NEWS A new controversy is unfolding around Michigan far-left Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed. He got a sweetheart consulting deal with his former state health employer just days after quitting with no record of approval by the county commission, and he’s accused of funneling his income through his LLC to avoid paying payroll taxes as he campaigns on “pay your fair share.”
Eight days after Abdul El-Sayed resigned from his nearly $279,000-a-year job as Wayne County’s health director in 2025, he started his own consulting company and rapidly landed a $72,000 county contract to advise the department he had just been running.
The unusual part is the eight-day gap between his resignation and his company’s contract. And El-Sayed was simultaneously campaigning for the U.S. Senate. The timing is striking, and raises questions about conflicts of interest, insider sweetheart deals, and taxpayer-funded consulting.

Doctrinally speaking, Muhammad is regarded as the ideal human being and the perfect practical example for Muslims to follow.
See eg Surah Al-Ahzab 33:21, "Indeed, in the Messenger of Allah you have an excellent example for whoever has hope in Allah and the Last Day and remembers Allah often."
See also Surah Al-Qalam 68:4, "And indeed, you are of a great moral character."
Therefore it follows that Muhammad's relationship with Aisha is a model relationship for Muslims.

And no-one objected?
All the guys were probably thinking Aisha's older 7 year old sister would then be fair game. Such an enlightened people.

But Wright never said anything wrong. Not many voters are cool with child marriage.
this is rage bait for conservatives to scream about El Sayed and muslims being so extreme and gross, so I'm just going to leave this one here. (Links wiki article...white people do it too!)
So, so many unforced errors in this dudes campaign. Actively blowing it.
He thinks a Dem wave year alone will carry him over the finish line. He deeply believes in the invincibility of the generic ballot democratic candidate.
sounds like he’s not appearing alongside the guy but is appearing in a separate panel at the same event. That said, I question the campaign value of this appearance 80 days out.

Rogers was a favorite of the Intel community when he was in Congress. Like we need more of those. I think the other Senator from MI is also former CIA or something. If our choices are CIA plants or DSA, that's like Scylla and Charybdis.

The San Diego Padres' minor league catching coordinator has been detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Oswaldo Pirela, 34, who is from Venezuela, was taken into custody early Sunday at El Paso (Texas) International Airport, the Department of Homeland Security confirmed on Tuesday. He was not carrying his work permit card at the time, his brother, Jorge Pirela, told The Athletic.
According to a statement from DHS, Pirela entered the country legally in 2014, but that expired in 2018 and he "was not in possession of legal documentation granting him status in the country." It said Pirela would remain in ICE custody pending removal proceedings.

Famous local "independent distiller" Russian Jack Marunenko (who was actually Ukrainian) used two methods to move the goods: up the skirt as you say or in a baby carriage.
Also known for killing a guy and getting an extremely light sentence, even though he was patently guilty (it was a "that sumbitch needed killin'" situation). This was back in the '20s and '30s.
Russian Jack has a park and a school named after him.

Leftwing Shill Who Demanded the Deplatforming and De-Employment of Trump Staffers Fired by Forbes for Secretly Taking $6 Million from a Shady Sponsor
They're all liars, swindlers, and thieves.
Literally every picture of him shows him in this gay hat:
The New York Times reported on Wednesday that Forbes chief content officer Randall Lane was fired after "the company discovered that he had received a payment of about $6 million from the founder of a firm that does business with the magazine." The payment was made after RJ Shook, the founder of the firm that worked with Forbes to publish wealth adviser rankings, "sold a majority stake in Shook Research to PPC Enterprises, a private equity firm, last August." Lane made himself a spectacle of anti-Trump furor in 2021 when he threatened companies that dared to hire people who formerly worked with President Donald Trump, such as former White House press secretaries Sean Spicer, Sarah Huckabee-Sanders, and Kayleigh McEnany. Reading his virtue-signaling now about "truth reckoning" in light of his own duplicitous violation of journalistic ethics is poetic justice. At the time, Lane promised his outlet will "scrutinize, double-check, investigate with the same skepticism we'd approach a Trump tweet" any company that hires one of the forbidden Trumpsters in his arbitrary blacklist: "Let it be known to the business world: Hire any of Trump's fellow fabulists above, and Forbes will assume that everything your company or firm talks about is a lie." Lane doubled down on his threats: "Want to ensure the world's biggest business media brand approaches you as a potential funnel of disinformation? Then hire away," Lane quipped. ... It would take but a few years before Lane nuked his own "credibility" and "reputation" as a judge of character into orbit. The Times outlined the clear Forbes company policies that emphasize the gravity of Lane's undisclosed conflict of interest:Oof! Not even a defibrillator could resuscitate Lane's image as a journalist at this point.
Forbes has policies requiring its employees to seek permission before conducting outside business activities and prohibiting them from gaining personally -- directly or indirectly -- from the company's business dealings, according to a copy of the employee handbook obtained by The New York Times. Traditional newsrooms usually forbid journalists to accept payments from sources or business partners to avoid conflicts of interest or the appearance of a conflict.
The 24-year-old alleged ringleader of a Penn State cocaine ring has turned himself in to police, Pennsylvania authorities revealed Tuesday. Agostino Abbatiello surrendered himself to face charges of possession with intent to deliver (cocaine) and conspiracy after being busted for allegedly running a complex cocaine trafficking ring out of two separate fraternities. The Long Island native -- who was at the "very top of the chain" in the crime ring, prosecutors claim -- had failed to show up for a Monday arraignment and is now being held without bail.
Alleged co-conspirator Thomas Robinson and two others have been charged with felony corrupt organizations, conspiracy, dealing in proceeds of unlawful activity, and related offenses, the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office said. More than a dozen Penn State frat brothers were busted for running the ring that forced young pledges to cut and bag the drugs then sold to students, according to prosecutors. The fraternities, Sigma Chi and Delta Upsilon, allegedly coordinated with suppliers in New York and Philadelphia, trafficking in the cocaine and distributing it mainly to Penn State students.

Even very rich guys don't hand out $6 million without expecting -- and getting -- something of commensurate value in exchange.
Shook claimed it was just a gift. Sure it was. And that banana that was found in Talacreepo's asshole just fell off the counter and lodged itself there.
I assume the $6M was part of some pump-and-dumb scheme where Shook was paying for artificially rosy coverage that Shook thought would end up making him back more than the $6M. Or some kind of insider trading.

Most dead tree publications are trash, it is more just a vanity press now like Newsweek or Time. WSJ is going that way too and Bloomberg's borg biz news has probably reached its zenith before the descent.
The clue is when investment money goes for additional publications rather than reinvested in the business. Bloomberg has been buying pubs like Roll Call for its borg because the returns have reached declining marginal revenue for its main biz so you buy more pubs to try to pump it up for a time. Like Gannett did on acquisitions just before it guts the local and rides the decline repackaging AP news stories.
A lot of media including online websites are on borrowed time now--it is no longer the big money maker it was. What will replace it is going to be a mish mash.

Back in the late 70s, I really enjoyed the magazine. Up to the time I picked up my first issue - I believe I was sitting in the waiting room of my optometrist's office - I had given no serious thought to a career in business and finance. But I found the articles fascinating, and I think I can credit Forbes for getting me started on that career track. I never liked Malcolm Forbes' personal contributions - I considered him to be a windbag whose abuse of the English language was obnoxious (constantly trying to come up with neologisms, turning nouns into adjectives and vice versa), and whose ideas were not particularly enlightening (plus he was a fan of Armand Hammer) - but the articles by genuine business journalists were good, well-researched and informative.
And then, one day, it was just another garbage publication.

Hates him. Trump brought up one time in response to some useless True Republican putdown that Forbes did a story about Malcolm and his gay lover being rejected at a Trump hotel for bad behavior.
Steve was seething but Malcolm was well known about NYC for being extremely gay and liking his boy toys young.

CNN's Jake Tapper revealed the internal term in a widely shared clip, drawing from his 2025 book *Original Sin* co-authored with Alex Thompson. The group, including aides like Mike Donilon, Steve Ricchetti, Bruce Reed, Ron Klain, and others such as Anita Dunn and First Lady Jill Biden, controlled the president's schedule, information, and major choices amid concerns over his health. Critics called out media for earlier dismissals of Biden's decline as 'cheap fakes,' while the book frames it as a way to keep the administration running until after the 2024 election.

I think his gay little fedora means "he's available," Ace. If anyone is interested. It barely fits his head and makes me focus on his honker nose. It looks the hat size for a toddler boy.
I read that the Markle shrew wore her gay little white fedora on her sailing trips with men as a "sign" she was available. By the time stupid Hazmet got stuck in her web there were echoes like the Holland Tunnel. I am incredibly bummed I can't read the subreddit of them anymore as I will not register. There were some hilarious comments.
The cocaine king's nose does not need a hat for me to focus on, or maybe the nerd glasses were arrows. I do wonder if he uses a hot roller to curl his hair. Tres chic.

The classic example was tobacco, cigars, cigarettes etc in the early 20th century. Females, as a rule, didn't use tobacco to any great degree, and certainly not in public.
A huge marketing campaign ensued. Marlboros were intended for women, it was only much later that the Cowboy motif was used. Cigarettes were called "Freedom Sticks" and tied with the then novel idea of allowing females to vote. Smoking was seen as an act of rebellion, etc etc. "You've Come A Long Way, Baby!" indeed.

I was watching either a Bulwark podcast or Pod Save America....no difference, because it was people from both shows (former Bush and Obama staffers) talking, and the Bush staffers very much sounded like they didn't like (or care about) conservative policy goals...it was just a job, trying to help a client (Bush) win. In a way, it was nice because it sounded very mercenary/mafia (nothing personal, just business), but ultimately I think you expose yourself to risk, especially in the future, if you hire people to help discuss critical strategy stuff that don't believe it, and could jump ship to the enemy later.

I didn't know about him being gay until shortly after he died. At the time, I had the sense that it was a big surprise to everybody, but apparently not.
I did truly loathe his "random thoughts" column and his curious support for Armand Hammer and People for the American Way. Fortunately, his own dubious political preferences didn't seem to affect the overall quality of the magazine. I think, perhaps, Forbes never really recovered from publishing a huge puff piece on Michael Milkin a month or so before the bottom fell out of his junk bond empire.

I've been reading a book by a guy who spent a year in a cell* with Nazi war criminal Jurgen Stroop. Stroop called Catholicism "a catch-all of religions, infected with Judaism." He further claimed that Christianity was created as a Jewish conspiracy for "the weakening and debasement of man through guilt."

So that's the problem with Catholicism, too Jewish.
* He had fought with the resistance group the Polish Home Army but the Soviets, with their inherent fair play and respect for the truth, declared the Home Army a collaborationist group and arrested him as a Nazi collaborator.

I'll bet this started out very small, selling a few baggies of coke to frat bros and party girls. They got away with it, so the operation grew and grew.
Frats make a lot of sense because many own their own frathouses and thus are largely immune from college oversight. Shit can happen in a frathouse basement that ain't nobody ever gonna find out about.

By the number of times you whored yourself out. DC and the media attract people that want power and celebrity in that order. And they come from a narrow slice of America--the striving upper middle class and upper class--through the Ivies, law school, politically oriented jobs, and ultimately they find themselves grubbing on behalf of donors and members of Congress that are often major league sociopaths. So it all becomes simply a game to gain power, money, and climb the Hill. No actual feelings on anything.
I know quite a few DC folks my age and some young ones that got chewed up by reality there and in my state's politics. Some are burnouts, all are cynical, and some have ascended to be powers behind the throne.

Same.
The BYU student newspaper had a recurring column near graduation time featuring students who would graduate after only three years. I found the interviews funny. They always emphasized they were at BYU to get a degree and nothing else. "I didn't come here to meet people. I didn't come here for activities. I just want the paper and I'm out."
Part of me admired the focus. But I always thought they missed out on so much. I met, made friends with, and dated some amazing people at BYU.

The flat cheapest I remember, back in the early 90s, was Sterling at the local Super 8. They had a bar (at a Super 8, of all places). They sold 10 oz. drafts of Sterling, in a plastic cup, for a quarter on Thursdays.
That shit was awful. But I drank it. It was, after all, a quarter.

Data from the CDC Wonder system's multiple cause of death records (search or https:// wonder. cdc. gov/ mcd.html). A lot of drug overdoses involve multiple types of drugs, so it isn't that cocaine is the sole culprit in all those deaths, but that particular drug had really picked up again from the mid-10s to mid-20s.

Google AI continues:
"Health experts point out that this massive increase over the decade wasn't just because more people were using cocaine. Instead, it was largely driven by the arrival of fentanyl, a incredibly strong man-made opioid. Drug dealers began mixing fentanyl into the cocaine supply. Because fentanyl is so strong, a tiny amount can cause a fatal overdose, often without the person even knowing they were taking."

I'm sure lotsa people on campus knew about it. Just like when I was in college, everyone knew which frats were most generous with the booze and drugs, which sorority sisters were most generous with their pussies, etc.
I'll bet this was an open secret on campus. I mean, with the amounts of coke reportedly recovered -- pounds of it -- it seems like these frats were supplying everyone on campus.

I've read that this is how people OD on fentanyl.
Fentanyl is added to most street drugs, so someone like that "The Wire" who is used to taking drugs, especially mixing them, unknowingly takes several fentanyl-laced substances (like coke and something else) and dies.
They never intentionally took fentanyl, but manage to OD via other drugs.

Same as declaring the ballroom a military installation and massive security risk. Trump also quietly militarized the Southern Border including a key AZ Indian Reservation that had served as an open door for cartel and immigrant smuggling. Shut.

Joining a frat -- especially in rural PA where I went to college -- opened a lot of doors to party and girl opportunities, with the hope that the frat "network" would help you later professionally.
But I had already been partying in NYC clubs by the time I went to college, and was already beyond macking on drunk college girls. So what did I care about the rural PA frat scene?
I did have some buddies in one of the more popular frats, so I can't say I blew off the the frat party and girl scene completely.

None of us know what hand Trump has nor the evidence--someone like Chavez spilling the beans on cheating by Smartmatic and thus Dominion which licensed Smartmatic's software would put the cat among the pigeons.
Trump has been pretty good about OpSec this term rather than his first. But I think he is putting the pressure on Scotus to cram the states filled with fake registrations to kill the Dem judges injunctions forbidding the Feds from cleansing them. If those fake voter registrations go away, so does a big margin of fraud that the left can deploy easily. Not enough time to rack up a big new list.

I firmly believe massive fraud occurs in our election system. What's disappointing is there's not the smoking gun type stuff being uncovered on the scale I think is going on. Like the closest thing I can think of was a small story in CA where a large amount of blank ballots was found in a criminal's car.
I wish someone like Musk would put bounties on this, like $5 million if you can show proof of manufacturing fraudulent votes.
There has to be lots of people involved that would rat someone out for a lot of money.

Yes, DoJ has multiple lawsuits demanding states under the Voting Rights Act give unredacted lists of voters so that the Feds can compare and find ineligible voters like illegals or dead people. And then there is the whole mail in ballot torpedo aimed Dems which has Elias and co suing to stop the USPS from only allowing mail to used by real verifiable voters--no more ballots sent to empty lots and ballots must use a trackable USPS envelop so receipt and sending times and dates are recorded.
Then there are ongoing investigations into voter fraud, the Deep State shuffle down in S. Florida involving the attempted Dem and Rino Coup in 2016, etc. etc.

But that is freedom: the availability to choose a course you have the power/capability to choose.
Thus, paraplegics don't have a "freedom to get up and walk", many of the rest of us do.
This is my shot against Ayn Rand. Freedom is not thematically consistent, so if I can do it, have the brains and the means to manage it, I can take another person wholly captive. Especially if I can evade the law.
The "freedom" of "degrees of freedom" has no consideration for consistency.

The evidence is there but people ignored it as did courts using the standing rule. That the amount of fraud proven could not be shown to have caused defeat of the candidate. That standing ruling has now been overturned btw by Scotus in a little reported case last term.
Candidates now have standing to challenge rules, counting, etc. from teh get go, not to wait until after being cheated and their votes discarded. This is going to affect the Dem big cheat areas used to running things their own way.

Prepare for a Non-Shock: Staffer for Rejected Liberal RINO John Cornyn Joins James Talarico Campaign
James Talarico Poaches Cornyn StafferPoaches? I suspect this traitor went running to his real political allies.
Cross-party hires are rare, but the move could show the Senate Democratic campaign is hoping to reach out to Republicans in reliably red Texas.
Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico's campaign hired a staffer from Republican Sen. John Cornyn, NOTUS has learned. Jacob Smith, who worked for Cornyn for five years as a deputy legislative director and policy adviser, is taking on the role of deputy policy director for Talarico's campaign. "I've worked for Republicans like Senator Cornyn my entire career, but this year I'm proud to be joining James Talarico's campaign," Smith confirmed in a statement through the Talarico campaign. "Instead of playing partisan politics, Talarico speaks to the needs of everyday people who day in and day out work too hard for too little. In the Senate, James will fight to lower costs for all 31 million Texans, whether they're Republicans, Democrats, or independents, so that Texans of all ages have a fighting chance at the American Dream of starting a family, owning a home, and leaving a little behind for their children." Smith also took aim at the GOP nominee, adding, "Ken Paxton is the most corrupt, self-dealing politician in Texas who would sell their futures to the highest contributor just to hold onto power. I'm encouraging all my fellow Republicans who know Ken Paxton is unfit to serve in the Senate to finally hold him accountable at the ballot box." Smith previously worked on the House Science Committee for Rep. Frank Lucas (R-Oklahoma) and was a legislative aide for Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Mississippi). When contacted for comment, a Cornyn spokesperson directed NOTUS to remarks the senator has made repeatedly in recent months where he's said he will "support the Republican ticket" in the fall.
Sure, sure. Thanks to Buck Throckmorton. Update:
So conservative.
Townhall.com
@townhallcom JAMES TALARICO: "With the SAVE Act, they are trying to rob our neighbors, strictly our black neighbors, of those God given rights."
The Deputy Legislative Director of soon-to-be-former senator John Cornyn has been hired to work in the Talarico senate campaign as xis Deputy Policy Director. The most shocking thing is that no one is shocked. @AceofSpadesHQ https://t.co/SUAUYd0CMP

a) The Democrat opponent was always way worse;
b) The Texas GOP made dang sure that Cornyn never had a serious primary contender.
But the Texas GOP was unable to keep Paxton off the ballot, so Cornyn lost the primary. And he is still pissed about that.

In a way, it was nice because it sounded very mercenary/mafia (nothing personal, just business), but ultimately I think you expose yourself to risk, especially in the future, if you hire people to help discuss critical strategy stuff that don't believe it, and could jump ship to the enemy later.

Jacob Smith, who worked for Cornyn for five years as a deputy legislative director and policy adviser, is taking on the role of deputy policy director for Talarico's campaign.

What policies would those be? Drag queens in elementary schools? Witchcraft? Open borders again?
Anyway, it's not just that Smith is an amoral weasel who needs a job. He has GOPe support for working against Paxton.

Thune for one. Basically staffers are there to exercise power and/or to get rich from teh K Street banditos. Senate legislative assistants, in particular, spend a lot of time with their Dem counterparts liaising with donor groups drafting uniparty legislation.
They have the faithfulness of a whore and I think this guy jumped because he wasn't going to retain his cushy job with Cornyn, is likely to get paid well by Talarico's campaign, and then will probably try to land in some lobbying firm for an interest group.
The good news is he is now toxic to the GOP officeholders being able to openly hire him as an aide , the bad news is there are bunch just like him as senior staffers for other aging toads sitting as GOP senators.

From what I've read, staffer on the Hill are not Republican, they are a permanent power class (similar to federal agency leadership) who believe they know what's best, using their position to shape their current elected Senator's/Congressman's agenda.
A while there was a story on X about how Thune inherited McConnell's staff, which is common when one takes over leadership, and they were active in kneecapping Trump and MAGA. Not that Thune didn't play a part, but it explains why his Senate leadership is pretty much the same as McConnell's - it is the same crew!

1) depressing how far left the R majority used to be
2) encouraging how much work we have already done
3) confirms that, right now, there are basically 10 R Senators that oppose Trump on most everything.
But we are winning. A slow grind, but we are.
The real tell on when we've won is, the R Senator assigned to gavel-in/out the pro forma session, alerts Trump only and then does a no show-no call.
And Trump recess appoints his entire slate.

Bullshit poll. For a state like Texas, you need about 900-1000 sample size at a minimum and I would have to see their screening questions as to likely voters. Apparently this polling season has a problem with overenthusiastic DSA response and lackluster response to polling by normal Democrats. That is what is causing for example the wide disparities in WI, MI, and other contested primaries between actual results and the poll forecasts. The other problem is you have key demographics that need to be oversampled and 400 is not enough to get that. Blacks for example, Hispanics for another. Get a bunch of White Bread DSA types in the poll but it will not reflect whether minority groups turn out or not. Talarico has to have blacks and Hispanics for a shot at winning. AWFLs and soyboys are not enough.
And the Interactive polling is crap by the way--always has a serious problem with selection bias when you ask by email or by text for a response.

Polling usually sucks before they get serious about just before early voting starts. Once early voting starts, you can take turnout in certain districts as a corrective to the likely voting models, especially for Dems. But we have not seen the deluge of ads yet as Trump and the RNC are about to open the floodgates, they always launch right around Labor Day for the GOP and indys. More bang per buck on ads. Summer ads fade into the mist by that time.

They just make shit up, and then cite it as Gospel on the "news" and what passes for academia these days. They then feed the same results back to each other, a round robin back and forth citing each other's nonsense as legitimate and authoritative.
Posted by: Common Tater at August 18, 2026 02:02 PM (Ewmxj)
They do this so that when they steal an election it doesn't raise any red flags.
Legitimate polls + fraud results triggers doubt.
Fake polls that are designed to mirror fraud results make it easier to steal.

Oldcat, this goes back to Obama's mal-rule, when the state legislatures lost hundreds of Democrat seats over the course of eight years. There is a huge gap in age & experience between the 'geriatric leadership' and the ambitious next generation - except it's really two generations apart.

Obsolete, that number has been trending downward for some time in polling as troon theater is just not that amusing anymore. And that cite to Gallup is wrong, it is 22.3 percent (dating from 2024). Just checked their website about the same in a separate 2025 survey. And the largest category is 'bisexual' which is most probably fake due to social pressures especially among women. 16.1 percent to be exact.
And it seems that the amount and frequency of sex for Gen Z is collapsing too. 30 percent of males are celibate (willing and unwilling), 24 percent have not had sex in a year as per NYT.
And this, "EduBirdie surveyed 2,000 Gen Z adults and found 67% would pick a solid night of sleep over sex. Career security came next at 64%, then personal success at 59%, friendships at 50%, and alone time at 46%. ". They date less, have sex less frequently, and plans for marriage and kids are in the toilet. Most likely due to perceived economic insecurity.

The case happened in my old backyard so I've followed it a bit. I'm not in any way defending her actions but the reason she's in a wheelchair is because after killing her kids she jumped out of a 2nd story window and now she's paralyzed from the waist down.
I think she clearly has mental issues or at least did at the time of the killing. By all accounts she had a happy young family and she was a delivery nurse of all things. I don't anything about postpartum depression but something seemed to have snapped in her.

Almost impossible to get hard data on that, for obvious reasons.
But I'll bet the percentage of women who have abortions is low. It's just those same women have them over and over.
Show me a woman who's had an abortion and I'll bet you even money it's not her first or won't be her last.

Debunking academics and proving plagiarism takes an immense amount of effort.
Posted by: zombie
First step on plagiarism is to take the document and submit it to turnitin.com. Takes about a minute. AI models using agents can take that a step beyond by checking and summarizing cites from the various sources listed to seek if the lit review is a fair summary of prior research and this is where plagiarism often lurks. Last is where the data came from and was it public sourced or private. To disprove private data requires asking the researcher or perhaps reviewers for the data sample.
Debunking takes a lot more time because you a) really need to replicate the original study which in soft sciences is almost always poorly documented, b) to debunk stat models means you have to have familiarity with them. One can catch logic errors in a reading but data and results requires reverse engineering the original study.

Yeah, I've had post-partum depression and it's not as much like post-partum psychosis as the media is currently making it out to be. That first eight weeks when the babies aren't smiling yet are hard. And then they do start smiling, and giggling, and holding onto your finger with an iron grip and it's like the sun bursting through the clouds.

She deserves sympathy. But she also deserves jail time. When I had my second daughter, I heard voices coming out of her monitor, and they were not kind and loving. It was one of the scariest things I have been through. As real as they were, and they were real to me, I knew somewhere in the back of my mind they actually were not. Instead of harming my baby, I turned the monitor off, forced myself to say “this is not real, this is in your head”and cried. I was terrified to tell anyone while this was going on because I knew it was crazy. It was a horrible few months where the monitor was turned off, and I hoped the baby was okay when it was turned off. After 3 months, it was gone.

Yep. The number that actually come out as lesbians, male homosexuals, or even trans are still well below 10 percent of the population. And with teh dominance of females in higher ed right now on attendance, at many schools 60-40 or worse even, makes it much more likely to claim a vague bisexual label as a female (where a guy would get the suck one dick and you are a homo not bisexual bit.) I Kissed a Girl went mainstream, you don't see popular male singers come out and sing I Kissed a Boy without being marked as gay.

The feminist argument? She had postpartum depression so she's not to blame and it was probably the husband's fault for being mean to her or something I mean you men have no idea what it is like to have hormones!
The case happened in my old backyard so I've followed it a bit. I'm not in any way defending her actions but the reason she's in a wheelchair is because after killing her kids she jumped out of a 2nd story window and now she's paralyzed from the waist down.
I think she clearly has mental issues or at least did at the time of the killing. By all accounts she had a happy young family and she was a delivery nurse of all things. I don't anything about postpartum depression but something seemed to have snapped in her.

I don't think she's smart in terms of IQ or intelligence -- and she's ignorant as fuck -- but she's got some animal cunning and is very media savvy (at least in front of a friendly media).
She can give a pretty good canned speech. She's also passably attractive (albeit with The Wall waiting on standby), which in itself raises her perceived abilities given that most of her colleagues look like a bear shat in an Alpo can.
But if you watch her in interviews, she's a dullard who doesn't seem prepared for even the most obvious softballs.

*********
Agree. I have not followed closely with the case at all, because I cannot read about children being murdered or abused. To protect my brain.
Someone, anyone, would have noticed postpartum depression... unless she's a great actress on top of being psychotic. A normal person would have asked for help vs the drug cocktail. Her friends or husband would have known.
It typically shows up in the first six weeks postpartum. It can last months, but this is not why she killed her own children and jumped out a window. Baby was 8mo old. Maybe pills combined with regular psychosis.
I was very tired after the first giant son I could not feed enough. Exhausted. I did not have the normal brain to call two nurse friends who'd just had babies to ask if his constant hunger was normal. Brain was foggy but I never wanted to murder him or suicide before he got formula at 3wks.

AOC has a choice, her risky one is to take on running for prezzie. The other is to take on Sen. Schumer. For a variety of reasons, Schumer is vulnerable to a challenge from the left but given the Dems run like the Mafia, we don't know what kompromat Schumer has on AOC that would get aired possibly.
We shall see in about a year. After the Midterms, the invisible presidential primary starts with donor ass kissing, rounding up staff to run, and other markers like long tours to specific early primary states to get coverage and identify locals for your campaign staffing there.
But 2028 is most likely AOC's best shot to run for prezzie as 2023 census if the GOP wins is likely to turn against the Dems as is the continuing drain of their illegals dripping away.

She is a figurehead who is micromanaged, and this shows in spades when she has to do an interview. There is no buffer. There is no delay. There is only a toolless indivdual who goes searching into her tiny little mind to regurgitate something she half remembers, and didn't properly prepare for. Then, spits out a half-assed word salad.
She's not clever, street smart or even of average quality. She is in the lower half of the spectrum in all categories.

Some of You Will Not Believe Me, but the WNBA Is Woke Trash Filled With Hyperthyroidal Clown Hookers
If only the world were run by seethingly-angry toxic lesbians.
It would look just like the WNBA and be just as profitable.By the way, can I mention a pet peeve? A long, long time ago it was unusual to see a sports team with a singular nickname. Like, "the Avalanche." Rather than a plural, like "the Jets." You Old-Heads might, like me, remember the old "NASL" soccer league. That league featured a lot of teams with a singular nickname. But this stopped being a novelty many, many years ago, as more and more teams adopted singular nicknames. In fact, it's now a cliche. So of course the WNBA has to be the most cliched franchise on earth and feature mostly singular nicknames. Atlanta Dream. Connecticut Sun. Chicago Sky. Indiana Fever. New York Liberty. Phoenix Mercury. Portland Fire. Seattle Storm. I had to look these up, you know. I can't name them off the top of my head like some commenters I could name but won't. (Garrett.) The "singular team name" thing is only attention grabbing when there's one singular team name among many plural names.
WNBA backtracks after Sophie Cunningham fans ordered to remove 'XX-XY' shirts at game: 'fell short' Atlanta Dream's State Farm Arena allegedly put fan in pro-transgender shirt on Jumbotron before security told mother and daughter they'd be removed if they didn't cover XX-XY shirts, a brand Sophie Cunningham had posed with.
It's so fucking gay and stupid.
Minnesota Lynx, another one. But maybe "lynx" is also a plural. But if so, it's plural selected to sound singular.
Fights over silent protests against males in women's sports have jumped from the high school soccer field to the professional basketball arena, as the WNBA wrings its hands over the meaning of "women" with just six weeks until the playoffs and eight months before a draft that could include NBA veterans who claim eligibility under league rules. Fans of gender-critical Indiana Fever sharpshooter Sophie Cunningham allege that security ordered them to cover up their XX-XY Athletics shirts, which promote female-only sports, at Sunday's Atlanta Dream home game against the visiting Fever at State Farm Arena, where Cunningham celebrated her 30th birthday with an overtime win. This was despite the fact that Cunningham appeared with XX-XY founder Jennifer Sey, the 1986 U.S. Women's All-Around National Champion gymnast, and Riley Gaines, the former collegiate swimmer, at a Minnesota Lynx game soon after Cunningham endorsed female-only sports in an ESPN profile.
$1000 a seat? Are you all insane? To watch what are essentially boys high school players, only butcher?
Both the WNBA and Dream confirmed the incident late Monday, saying fans were wrongly asked by league security -- not the team's personnel -- to cover their shirts, but did not mention the content of the clothing. "This should not have happened," a league spokesperson told Front Office Sports. "The Atlanta Dream believes in creating a safe and inclusive environment for everyone. Unfortunately, at last night's game, WNBA security took actions that fell short of that standard," the team said. ... It represents an escalation in response since Seattle Storm co-owner Celeste Keaton allegedly cursed out teenage Cunningham fans in XX-XY Athletics gear, also holding signs thanking her for "speaking up for girls," when the Fever visited the Storm last month. Cunningham shamed Keaton on social media. Seattle journalist Brandi Kruse, who helped organize a pro-Cunningham rally outside the game, reported the girls weren't told to cover the shirts or hide the signs. She said Climate Pledge Arena security refused to remove Keaton for harassing fans, though the WNBA suspended her for five home games for unspecified behavior. "They gave us t-shirts during overtime and told us we had to leave or cover our [XX-XY] shirts up," an unidentified woman who attended Sunday's Fever-Dream game with her teenage daughter told conservative activist Adam Francisco after the game. The daughter said they paid $1,000 each for their seats on floor 3, row C, three rows from the court, to support Cunningham and girls' sports. "We did nothing. We were just sitting there," the mother said, adding that she had wanted to make signs supporting Cunningham but refrained so as not to ruffle feathers at the game. Their shirts have variations of the XX-XY logo on the front, and on the daughter's Riley Gaines collaboration shirt, "for the girls" on the back.

WNBA fan subreddit bans posters from using Sophie Cunningham's name after defense of women's sports
A Reddit user shared screenshots showing mods confirmed the ban and threatened further action for questioning it
The WNBA and its fans are in a constant struggle to outdo whatever previous record they already set for most ridiculous sports league ever created. ... [O]ver the last several weeks and months, the self-destructive tendencies and nature of the WNBA organization, its coaches, and fans has reared its ugly head yet again. This time, their ire has been directed at Sophie Cunningham. ... And now, in perhaps the most ridiculous and explanatory example of the league's fandom, has seen her name banned from the WNBA subreddit. Seriously. One Reddit user tried to post about Sophie Cunningham in the r/WNBA subreddit, only to find that they weren't able to use her name or several other abbreviations. They then messaged the moderators, who then confirmed that this was a purposeful decision and that any further questioning would lean to being banned. "Why do you ban people from posting about Sophie Cunningham, who's a WNBA player?," the user asked. "We filter content based on Sophi [sic] because it tends to bring out trolls and people who aren't fans of the W," the mod answered. "But she's a WNBA player that does have actual fans," the user responded. "If you can't post about a player you're a fan of, that seems ridiculous." "We have chosen to filter content. If you want to post freely about Sophie you can go to a different sub," the mod said. Unsurprisingly, the user pointed out that it's absurd to block posts about a WNBA player in the r/WNBA subreddit, asking how that made sense. "You aren't even a contributor to this sub, so I suggest you go back to the other WNBA subs. This is our decision. If you keep messaging about this you will be banned," the moderator answered.

Kind of ironic nowadays that this would be illegal discrimination here in the UK.
Philosophical beliefs are a protected characteristic under the 2010 Equality Act, a way for atheists to protect their Muslim friends and not give a special carve out for religion. This was deemed by a court to include the (rather common) belief that men cannot become women.

Here's a clue. Americans are spiteful. You ban something, it becomes more popular and almost a rite of passage to test the limits.

Now: "If you wear a chromosome shirt, you will be asked to leave."

What is your definition of a "religion" that everybody will buy into?
Because this is part of the atheist-neglected slop that I had to wade through in order to get to a workable functional model.
So many atheists are content to say "Marxism is a religion", but with a similar sloppiness they will say "What makes religious people dumb is there belief in supernatural beings" or "things without evidence".
Truly those don't both define "religion".
That's why I concentrate on what they have in common. A social structure of a Vision as the image of what it's all about, and societal dynamics like enforcement--which is not essential, but just typical.
So, my point is finer, it cannot be a "religion" because we don't have a workable, functional definition.
What you yourself are citing are social structures. And that's my point, things can have similar social dynamics.

Also, this is not just censorship, but rather propaganda.
1) highlight speech you like- Pro-Trans!
2) Suppress speech you dislike Chromosome shirts (which is a retarded meme, need a better one.)
This crosses the line from just wanting people to focus on the game and becomes specific editorializing.
Fuck you, WNBA. It would honestly do you some good.

Only Cunningham and Clark can command those sorts of prices in women's basketball.
What is tragic for the WNBA is that Spirit Airlines went bankrupt, so they can't fly coach on Spirit anymore when C&C are finally driven from the league.

Yea, it's a big money-loser, but the NBA is so fucking stinking rich it can easily afford to subsidize these angry bitter gashcunts.
I think what the NBA really gets of it -- and the whole point for the subsidies -- is papal indulgences for all the criminals, thugs, and wife-beaters in the NBA.

Sex obscurantists.
"Gender", at best, are groups of social customs that humans with imperfect knowledge put around the preservation of reproductivity. How the primest of female picks the primest of males, or vice versa. And on down the line.
Society believing that with standards about choosing mates and bonding to a pairing serve the next generation the best.
Dismissing it all as a "social convention" with hopeful social conventions that don't have millennia of success behind them is anti-thinking.

I suppose there's some overlap. But a religion tells you how to behave, just like a social structure, but it also tells you how to FEEL as well. Hate this group, they wear blue. Love this group, they wear green like you. It ties into an emtional connection beyond simply being a set of rules.
Marxism tells you to hate Capitalists (wrecks and looters).
Technically a religion barely needs to have a supernatural element, like Confusionism where it is very much in the background.
Now I suspect all religions have a supernatural origin, but that's beside my point.

I don't even bother with leftist thinking as it is all designed to give them power over others--the reasons change but the will to power is always present.
Life is simpler in retirement as I don't have to take silly arguments from ghastly people in my profession or from my students seriously.
If I felt better, I would volunteer to be a paper discussant at my professional conferences that I used to belong to. Just so I could let fly and piss in their Cheerios. These are deeply unserious people that hate others hindering their progress to utopia.

His ways and his thoughts are stratospheric above our own. So none of our limited thoughts can do but be a derivative of the curve of God's thinking (a tangential line at a point).
Thus God works by revelation. He is a lamp, not to light up the next mile, but to our feet. To keep us from stumbling here and now. We will end up contributing to something far greater than what we could ever think up, if we are lead by his Will and revelation.
This was a social pattern that when people abandoned God, they took away and applied to Science: Always looking to the revelation of Science. But the parsimony of the practice of Science causes us to consider whether an organ adapted for survival, is fit for "figuring it all out".
So we reaffirm a model of something being more complex than we can figure out...just without any promise of guidance through it. We reaffirm our lowly brain and its likely insuficiency without faith.

Women vote for the strong horse. It's why so many feminists end up spreading their legs for Muzzies. They bitch and moan about The Patriarchy ©️ but then let the ultimate patriarchal religion colonize their dried up, barren wombs. It's why so many crazy bitches are so wet for Luigi Mangione despite the fact that he's a flaming homosexual. He murdered a man but he did it unapologetically. That makes so many leftist skank whores double click their mouse.

She was being pimped as the league's next superstar player. She's also more photogenic than some of the hideous farm animals in the league.
But ... she was overrated and crashed and burned.
The player who became the star that Reece was supposed to be was ... Caitlin Clark. A white girl. Who isn't hysterically woke. And who doesn't apologize for it.
Ditto Sophie Cunningham.
The fact that two straight white girls became the stars of a black lesbian league -- and stepped over the fallen carcass of Angel Reece to get there -- is a big root cause of why the league despises them so much.

Ecclesiastes gives us two instructions about arguing "with a fool". Simple-minded people say they "contradict" (like it takes a modern to see this). When a more expansive view can see it as a "tension".
So, sometimes you argue with a fool according to their own folly. Our faith is not only retiring, but to reach out. I am first and foremost a "dialogist". I seek to have dialog.
And in dialog, we must seek illustrative terms, not mere labels. This is also what drives me to seek functional models and descriptions. Not just use terms as the impenetrable shields they sometimes are.

A big chunk of the upper class got that way by massive deficit spending thus causing inflation in asset markets. Own the right asset and it is increasing far faster than the cost of food, etc.
As in real estate and stocks.
Others are 'government contractors' and skim or even steal the entire enchilada via doing nothing for something. Atlanta as a fulcrum of local, state, and federal spending, is a regional epicenter for these folks. So are other big cities.

Cap Susi weather station, Greenland, 1944
Operation Bassgeiger @11:35
[The Germans] built a small wooden hut among some rocks to house their important radio equipment which was vital for the continuing operation of the weather station.
April 1944, a six-man team from the Danish Sledge Patrol attacked the Germans who fought back. The Danes fleeing, but one German officer was killed in the exchange.
The remaining 26 Germans then radioed home, requesting evacuation. The Luftwaffe decided to evacuate the men by air. The Germans found a stretch of firm level sea ice some 5 to 6 km south of the base.
And on the 3rd of June 1944, a large Ju290 piloted by Hauptmann Schlack-Lebahn flew from Monazan in southern France, landed and rescued all 26 Germans, and then flew back to France without incident, a round trip of about 5,000 mi.

If one has been to England and seen the actual motte and bailey castles that the Normans were fond of, then this makes sense. You put your weakest arguments for which there is no support on the periphery (the motte)--e.g. "the Republicans are doomed, doomed in the midterms I tell you", then when pressed for facts and logic supporting that thesis, they retreat to the bailey that most GOP officeholders suck which by and large is held by most people here after repeated lessons in political history.
One assertion does not lead to the next but the disputant implicitly links the two so that the strong assertion predicts the weaker unsupported assertion as a natural consequence.

Like the chicks who support Lindsay Clancy. I didn't remember this case until Better Bachelor brought it up in a video yesterday - https://tinyurl.com/mrhu4en5
In short - Lindsay Clancy murdered her 3 kids back in January of 2023. She took them into the basement one-by-one and strangled them with an exercise cord while her husband was out shopping and getting her meds. This isn't disputed by Lindsay's defense lawyer. To me, there might be a psych defense due to Lindsay's 30-odd medications, but that only should change if she spends the rest of her life in a psych ward or ride the lightning.
While this story is horrific in itself, what's really bothering is there's thousands of women on TikTok that are siding with Lindsay. Some are even going further and saying that the husband's the real murderer, based of astrological signs and how he looked on stand at a single moment. They've even set up a GoFundMe account for Lindsay, in her parent's name to get around the obvious prohibition of using these accounts to support an accused murderer.

Schumer has done it. Pelosi has done it. All the politicos that claim to be active in their faith fall back to it.
Heck, any of these people might actually believe it (whereas I don't find it quite the right fit). But it's how they construe or don't construe it.
Joe Biden used to say he agreed with the Catholic Church that abortion was murder. But he felt at that time that he can't decide for another person (like we do with "other murder"!). So he wasn't going to use his position to enforce the "Catholic Faith" on others.
Okay, and then he said "If I really believed in the reproductive rights of women," he would favor funding abortions so that women can make their choice.
To Joe's "credit", I've never heard him since then argue that he really, truly supports the position of the Catholic Church but he's just not going to impose his belief on others in an official capacity.
But the upshot is that when he started seeing it as a denial of human rights of a woman, he had to do something about it. When he just thought that hey, maybe it's murder, ... nah!

(Tons of simple replies wishing her a happy birthday are hidden because they have hundreds of downvotes)
Cunningham and her supporters are on the wrong side of history. We've argued the logical humane side and not much more productive will happen on a reddit sub regarding this issue. Donate to an LGBTQ+ org, volunteer for candidates that support trans people, and keep it moving. Don't engage with these posts that are trying to rage bait. Down vote and move on. Post lots of quality content about your non-Fever related teams.
MAGA grift ruins everything it touches, including this sub apparently
The republican alt wnba sub has been egging its members on all day to brigade this sub because the mods here are “censoring” posts and comments about cunningham, meaning they enabled a bot filter because transphobes are pretending to like her/this sport in order to be openly transphobic
Hope she’s out of the league next year
She'll be out in two months. Then we’ll be tortured by her on Fox News

The Morning Rant: What Don't You Understand About Socialists?
The mayor has reportedly turned thin-skinned and shouty behind closed doors, and it’s easy to see why: He’s in over his head, with a staff dominated by fellow tunnel-visioned lefties. Too bad it’s the rest of us who pay the worst price for Mayor Klutz’s misrule.
So the real issue is that Mamdani is an idiot and an incompetent? No...it isn't. Mamdani doesn't give a rat's ass whether NYC runs efficiently. His only goal is the consolidation of government resources in furtherance of his personal goals: the ascendance of socialism, and the ascendance of Islamism. That the wider culture might see him as a buffoon is meaningless. He is busily taking control of the money, and directing it to his supporters within the city government and outside of government in the thousands of NGOs that orbit NYC's vast amounts of cash. They are the ones who will promote his policies among the various racial and ethnic divisions in NYC. New York City voted for him. Or more correctly; New York City didn't bother to vote, and got a socialist, terror-supporting Shia 12er as Mayor. And Mamdani's only goal is to continue the policies that will get him reelected, and consolidate Islam and socialism in NYC. That the NY Post doesn't understand this is an embarrassment.

Until relatively recently the cost of living was dropping, at least on established things, yes yes we've added in new things like cell phones with their own costs but economic progress was bringing costs down.
Then this just stopped. Partly inflation, partly graft and crime, partly bureaucracy and regulation. And THIS is the problem

I see it differently. Mamdani remains (and will remain) very popular, without regard to governance. He is an enemy of America's, and so are they. He hates whites, and so do they. He hates Jews, and so do they. Wealthy people, same. And above all, he hates Orangemanbad.
NYers are hate-based voters and he checks the boxes for them, and nothing else matters.
He could say "I'm releasing rabid raccoons throughout the city, because MAGA is afraid of rabies," and that would be a popular policy.

That’s why they are fanatics. People like that don’t respond to facts, truths or reasoned debate. Anything that challenges their beliefs and shibboleths on a very material, factual way is destroyed or ignored. It’s a recipe for disaster when reality kicks them in the teeth.

Umm... most socialists are VERY concerned about the first person singular: I, me, mine. EVERYTHING is about what has been denied to them because THEY are so much better than everyone else but those terrible people, like Trump, have so much more money. I deserve to have everything they have!
I have a bunch of objectively rich lefty LIVs in my circle - they are in top 10% in income. They all rant about the need to "tax the rich" and then tell me they are barely making ends meet.

Polls never take that into account. Until recently, you were called an election denier if you even suggested that our elections were not secure.
Every single election cycle we go through same period where people freak out over push polls in the summer and then are amazed when they true up as we get closer to election day.
You don't need polls to tell you what you can see on the ground with your own eyes. In 24 I knew Harris was toast because while Trump was filling arenas on a nightly basis Harris had to pay twerkers millions and even then her "supporters" were about as enthusiastic as a guy walking to the gallows.

Hedonism is literally not thinking. Nihilism is having no confidence in thinking. At least existentialism is thinking, even including Sartre.

He did. But he also dipped his toe into the free shit waters. No tax on tips, $1000 baby fund, free in vitro, etc.
No tax on tips isn’t free shit since it’s your money to begin with, we can all agree on that. To a voter it’s still “I get more money if I vote for him”. Saving $5k in taxes and getting a $5k govt check in the mail is effectively the same thing. And it was a targeted tax cut to win a certain group of people, not an across the board tax cut. That’s politics they all do it. Elections are won by winning a lot of small group that add up to a big group. You have to give those small groups reason to vote for you.

Well, right. The wealthy using the poor, to grind the “middle class” into dust. You see this every time in the shithole countries. Some huge mansion, and a couple hundred feet away a hundred shacks made out of cardboard on the hill.
“Stick it to the Rich!” Is perennially popular. Yet somehow it never sticks to the Rich. It only ever gets applied to shopkeepers and small business men and women.
Functionally retarded and defective people go into local government. Maybe they mean well, but they don’t understand how anything works. Then they move up into local legislatures or other arms of government. Decent capable people want nothing to do with government, they are driven away. The political equivalent of Gresham’s Law.

Ecclesiastes is generally recognized as the first existentialist text. Man finding meaning.
So, while I see it's negative effects in part, I can't condemn existentialism entirely. Because existentialism asks the questions that some of us find Jesus answers.
As well, Pascal's mode was kind of existential. His wager is very much about you, a being of uncertain origin and possible revelation, finding meaning and truth.

As someone who has paid a lot in taxes over the years I have zero problem with any candidate saying they want to reduce taxes. The last year has made it abundantly clear even to those who didn't pay attention to this stuff in the past that a huge amount of money we send to DC is simply stolen. And I think the baby fund is an excellent program.
Most of the money is being donated by wealthy people and if it helps young people pay for school or get started with their life and makes the country stronger it works for me.

Shockingly, Robert Owen's strongest influence was Locke's "tabula rasa" and his interpretation that society shapes men. Although I like Locke, On Human Understanding does not rank highly with me, and "tabula rasa" is the idea I'm least likely to defend.
But, again, we saw the shape of Robert Owen in liberal politics.
How so? Well, you're never going to fix crime until you fix society. You're never going to fix personal issues, until you "fix society" all at once.
While I was coming into my own as a independent thinker, the part that riled me with liberals is the idea that everything has to be fixed by fixing everything all at once. And although I didn't quite have the label at the time, that idea seemed "brittle" and un-robust.
But this is "socialism". Marx's logistics were to get us to Owen's socialism. Where we have a "fixed society" and human flourishing ensues. (Without God, mind you).

Maybe they mean well, but they don’t understand how anything works.
The Ruling Class has never been on a farm, visited a production line or walked through a refinery unit. They know nothing at all about how things are produced or what it takes to get it from A to B. The concept of people as customers is completely beyond them. Likely they've never worked a real summer job.
They got their little internships (with Daddy's help), went to the right schools where they absorbed and regurgitated various orthodoxies and became staffers and gofers for the powerful. Their arrogance is matched only by their ignorance.

Him. Not an answering service. If his NP is on call, then it’s her. I have a crap plan from the exchange, the worst and cheapest one they offer for catastrophic care. I have never used it. I get everything done at my doctor’s office for the monthly fee I pay him, labs are drawn there and discounted. It ends up being less than a top tier medical insurance plan for my daughter and me for far better care.

Ossoff is well liked. He keeps a low media profile and is an excellent retail politician.
In a fairly reddish/purple state, he'll likely win.
That's reality.

Bullshit. Tossoff is not particularly well liked and his mean girl insult of a cancer survivor is not going well because he was largely unknown to GA voters despite being in office for six years.
FWIW, if Tossoff was so popular, why is the vast majority of his money coming from out of state, not GA donors. And the idiot has delusions of grandeur in being hypped by some as their 2028 candidate for prezzie.
It is always a horse race in GA politics but most of the bloviations of the Erick Erickson crew and the flaccid AJC have less value than a smelly fart. At least after you do that, you get some relief--none such is true from reading the AJC or listening to that fat disgusting Erickson whose panties are permanently in a wad.

If history is any guide Republicans should lose this cycle. The party out of power usually does well. Look what happened to Democrat under 8 years of Obama.
I don't agree anything has been blown. The fact that Republicans are in the running to retain both the House and Senate is actually a sign of the opposite. No matter how much smoke Democrats blow about El Sayed he's not exactly blowing the doors off in Michigan. He won Dearbornistan and college areas and got smoked with the black vote in Detroit and other urban areas. He was predicted to win his primary by double digits and one by a single point.
Imagine if we had corporate media on our side blowing smoke up our asses 7x24 instead of the opposite. I bet a lot of people who say they don't listen to the media would be a lot more positive about our chances.

Its closer than you think. the expense is astronomical and you don't get as much service as you used to get, as a result of the cost. You do have some advances in drugs, and less invasive treatment since 1975 - endoscopy, heart cath stents etc etc. I live in a major metropolitan area with huge medical providers and frankly it is a medically underserved area. It is very hard to get in to be seen for an appointment with an actually primary care doctor and you have long waits for cardiology procedures unless you present to the Emergency room. Its starting to look a bit like Canada . . .

Table Talk records Hitler as saying to his cronies that Germany got the "wrong religion" on the subject of Islam.
So yes, pro-Islam is much more Hitlerian than the contrary.
But again, the world has spent a long time believing that national socialism died at the end of WWII and nobody dares re-create a fascist system.
The truth is that all governments became more fascist. However, the CPUSA was trying to spread Stalin's gospel that conservative politics was "fascism", and so we lost track of what really is like fascism.
In Italy, at the start of the school morning, children were reminded that they did not belong to their parents, but their first loyalty was to the State.
Which side in America is more likely to think that children belong first to the State? Many on that side have even said something very like it.

That has more to do with PE running health care than Obama. The consolidation of health care providers into a handful of PE backed companies is criminal. But Obama didn’t cause that. PE is a cancer that has been growing since before Obama showed up and long after Obama left. Every industry it touches turns to shit for customers.

I doubt it. I've had a number of procedures in the last few years. Fifty years ago, none of them could have been done with anything like the outcome of today. Furthermore, I know quite a few people who have had various cancers, and the survival rate is much, much higher than it used to be. Sure, there's less of a personal touch, and the areas where government is involved have definitely deteriorated, but technically speaking, and in terms of outcome, there's no comparison. I'll take that.

Both of these senators had to use a rigged election to steal their offices. In Georgia, we defeated the steal in the last election to elect Trump (the left tried to pull the same shenanigans as in 2020, 2022 - they were stopped in 2024). If we can defeat the cheat in 2026, Ossoff is toast.

Tabula rasa was an argument used against Hobbes who argued that men were naturally corrupt and evil. Rhetoric to win an argument when what Locke was really doing is to undermine the case for divine right to rule that most Hobbesians at the time argued, particularly the Stuarts.
If Hobbes was correct, then it would follow that to prevent anarchy, humans did need a strongman with a whip hand over them and they could scarcely be trusted to select leaders. This was all in context of Locke supporting Parliament and the Glorious Revolution rather than actually believing in tabula rasa.

Evidently the administration was informed that teachers "didn't sufficiently utilize" pre-packaged lessons from an "evidence-based framework".
SEL is not legally required, but Michigan has law MCL 388.1631 which sets aside certain funds. To get that money, schools have to use frameworks that integrate academic and behavioral instruction.
This school year, class time will be sacrificed specifically for SEL lessons and teachers use the pre-packaged lessons. The discussion about it was done at a voluntary meeting in the summer that was announced through work email weeks before the meeting. Nice, huh?

I think you're looking at the urge and not the sublimation.
When one sublimates a motivation, it's not a lie if they believe it. So, if they really believe that everything will get better, then they can claw for their Cause--because "it's going to make everybody's lives better".
Here, Robert Owen is actually superior. A wealthy industrialist from Wales, he created 5 communes in America, and paid for everything. At the beginning, he probably really thought he was making lives better.
But the communes merely lived off of his wealth until he abandoned the enterprise. (I'm not sure how he resolved to abandon it). New Harmony in Indiana was sold and resold a couple of times to a new wave of Utopian. One of the last group were convinced that the seas would turn to lemonade. (No shit. Dan Flynn documents most of this in his book A Conservative History of the American Left)

Congratulations on your positive personal experience. And thanks for endorsing my comments about advances in drugs, and surgical advances, as well as astronomical rises in cost. Sounds like you haven't experienced it yet, but there is a definite shortage of doctors, and frankly the systems are moving away from physician care, except for surgeries and procedures and even then the follow up visits are going to be handled by physician extenders rather than your actual surgeon. As someone who defends medical malpractice cases for a living, you can expect the overall outcomes to decline. Even while it is possible to do more amazing things at the margin.

He fucked up with his insult and guarantee claiming that a bone cancer survivor is somehow sleeping with Trump is going to cost him votes.
And I think the polls will reflect this after we get out of the ridiculous all Georgians or registered voters only. This is basically a 3-4 point race with a slight edge to Tossoff as the incumbent and will depend on turnout and the degree of cheat in Fulton, Chatham, and Columbus.
His cocky arrogant shit is not playing well in the rest of the state and the Fulton cheat machine is going to be running on less than all its cylinders--there is no magic water stoppages likely to save his ass.
And Alpharetta is not the state, it is the northernmost outpost of corporate grifters brought here to Georgia for money. Of them, Tossof is a good example. But the state is broader than that.
And I don't think linking his campaign to Bottoms was a good idea. She is loathed in Atlanta and her primary vote showed that.

You see a literal army of extenders and pretenders —there’s gold for that army.in major surgery and post surgery care.
The ‘final’ medical bill reflects that of the 500k total about 6700 went to the surgeon. And the surgery was as major and serious as it gets.

It isn't Democrats that will be affected. It is independent swing voters, many of which are women.
Democrats are going to vote Dem, GOP are going to vote GOP, and the battle will be with independent voters and turnout.
I used to analyze this shit professionally and work campaigns so by stander bullshit doesn't work for me. Nor does most mainstream media bullshit including those on the GOP side. I look for hard numbers, not feelings and the hard numbers and facts right now have this as a close election with the GOP likely to retain the Senate, especially now after MI nominee for the Dems, and the House is a tossup depending on about twenty seats or so--take out leaners, the GOP has to win about 8-10 seats of true tossups, the Dems, have to almost run the board winning 15 or so out of the twenty or more with the tossups which is possible.

Police pull this white woman over at night. She looks like one of Al Bundy's customers from Hell. She starts getting emotionally spun up. She starts to tell the cops to get some manners. She, an adult woman, also calls her 'mommy' to come get her. And finally she yells at the cops that she isn't a 'N****r'

For most true believers, especially the performative ones that do All The Correct Things, the goal is not closer communion with a higher thing, the goal is personal power within the social web that they themselves police.
This is the basis of dislike for those that despise the "Tammy Faye Bakker" type performative religiosity.
There are those who go along with it, but that is not because they personify the movement, but because they are empty people who want to belong.
Those are the ones who will sacrifice themselves.

I agree, but in this sense. Politics can never be a "religion". But it can be the cluster of a "Shared Communal Vision" which is the social structure of a religion.
The structure provides your "Vision" of structuring society, but the more this social grouping goes on the more likely people are to feel a sort of infallibility of the central tenets that shape the Vision.
Which is why there is an economy in allowing you to be "certain" of whatever you think affects your personal interest. As you are the determiner of what that is.
And this is why politics of personal interest are robust. However, the more you make a Cause your highest value, the more, it seems human nature makes you intolerant of those that oppose your cause.
If you share the Vision, the Vision becomes the main "truth" in your paradigm.
I hate to offer absolutes though, so I should say that constructing a CSV around politics is dangerous, especially if you claim another CSV of Christian teaching. You should know that God and God alone can only be pre-eminent. (cont)

God's words and purposes cannot fail, but man's paraphrase can fail quite a lot. Scripture may be infallible, but the teachers of scripture are not themselves scripture.
The authority of Man "in God's name" is not the authority of God. This is the shape of the "Christian Vision".

Perhaps. But the blackpilling and reminders to us, that already know, the GOP are snakes, is tiresome every damn election and it is the same people doing it.
This was always going to be a close election and world affairs, random shit like Miller in OH and that dunce in NC risking safe seats in a House race where every seat counts hurts. Senate is a bit safer because the Dems are unlikely to win four seats, three perhaps with luck and a disaster in AK, but their problem is Orangeman Bad does not do much for Indy voters nor does their DSA candidates getting all the airwaves and attention.
The battleground is voter mobilization and how the indy vote swings in particular districts and particular states.

That last bit is from Charles Fourier, the creator of the utopian society built on the theory of the phalanstère, a single building to house a community. organized like a beehive or a monastery.
Fourier later wrote a book about the future of mankind which involved promiscuity, people growing scorpion like tails, and of course the poles growing warm and the seas turning into lemonade.
As to the phalenstere, the colonies based on them collapsed.

Harlan Ellison collaborated with Yerka on a book where Yerka provided the paintings and Ellison wrote a one-page short story for each painting.
They get weird. But very cool paintings.
The book is called "Mind Fields" and highly recommended if you like Yerka's style of artwork and Ellison's flair for short stories.

Jacek Yerka is another case of a hugely talented artist who chooses to paint bizarre images as if something beautiful or natural is beneath his attention. It's frustrating and annoying. It succeeds in that I want to look at it with all its many bits but, aside from that, where would you display it. Maybe on the cover of a sci-fi book or similar. As to the 'rebellion' in the title, perhaps it's rebelling against consumerism. (Total guess.)

According to his bio in "Mind Fields" he was rebelling against his instructors.
"Yerka resisted the constant pressures of his instructors to adopt the less detailed, less realistic techniques that characterized so much of contemporary art." (Yerka was born in 1952, btw.)
He was heavily influenced by Cagliostro, Hieronymus Bosch, Peiter Bruegel, Hugo van der Goes, and Jan van Eyck.

The Morning Report — 8/ 18 /26
Good morning kids. If you can't see where this is heading, you're blind. Or a co-conspirator!
what happens and the life or death consequences when they take officers who are untrained and given a directive that is very far from protecting the public,” Wu said. Boston has “already done everything possible” to stop ICE from accessing public property, the mayor said, adding that the city “will be doing whatever we can to communicate with private property owners.” The Department of Homeland Security responded to Wu’s plan Monday, saying the “pro-criminal mayor” is “trying to intimidate Bostonians,” knowing “she has ZERO authority to block ICE from utilizing private property.”The immediate evil of sic-ing the government on the citizenry is obvious, the tax assessors will be out in force or else some sort of zoning or other concocted civil penalties will be used against innocent people to prevent legitimate law enforcement from doing the exact opposite of what Michelle Wu and her ilk have blood libeled them. That is, the apprehension and removal of illegal alien invaders, some of them probably violent criminals. Naturally, Massachusetts is a solidly blue state and so the courts and state government will be squarely behind Michelle Wu, should citizens seek redress at that level, and likely not get it, The horrible and bitter irony is that Massachusetts was one of the cradles of the American revolution. And 250 years on look what the hell it's devolved into.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested Maycon Souto Dos Reis, a Brazilian national convicted of aggravated murder, in Massachusetts on August 3. Dos Reis had fled Brazil after being sentenced to over 14 years in prison and entered the U.S. illegally in June 2024, where he was initially apprehended but released under Biden government policies. . The arrest occurred in Massachusetts on August 3, 2024, just two days before Governor Maura Healey signed the PROTECT Act, which imposes new restrictions on ICE operations in the Bay State. . . “This is yet another example of what the media often characterizes as a non-criminal, when in reality, many of these individuals are murderers, sexual predators, gang members, and more: They simply do not have a criminal record in the United States.” – David Wesling, Acting ICE ERO Boston Field Office DirectorMaura Healy, who just signed this abomination into law!
The bill allows unborn babies to be aborted throughout pregnancy and strikes down the state’s 24-week limit, which had exceptions for the life of the mother and a deadly fetal diagnosis. Under the bill, doctors have the discretion to decide whether or not to perform a late-term abortion. . . Several Massachusetts... Democrats Break with Party over ‘Barbaric’ New Law Legalizing Abortions Up Until Birth.
But of course a corrupt government is one thing, but I'd lay better than even odds that the names and addresses of anyone who wants to lease space to ICE or the he DHS will somehow wind up in the hands of Antifa, La Raza and any and all other Leftist/Democrat approved and or aligned official-unofficial terror squads. Bad enough a criminal government will tax you out of existence but failing that, a molotov cocktail or two through your window is a hell of a lot more persuasive, nein?! Have a good day,

Both my mother and brother have had to deal with unions as nurses. My mom had to threaten violence against a union rep because he was ignoring her demand to be a Beck employee. My brother came close to hiring a lawyer when he did the same thing.

Based on what? Foreigners don't have Constitutional protections in the US. That is why they are barred from firearm ownership and its allegedly illegal for them to vote, serve on juries, or forced to pay taxes on income earned outside the US.
If a state wants to extend Constitutional protections to them, then fine, but it's limited to the jurisdiction of the State and when it doesn't conflict with existing federal law.

Yet in practice, the foreigner is superior in every way to the citizen.
A citizen, often depending on skin color, will be hit with felonies while foreigners worst crimes are dismissed or converted into misdemeanors.
Income earned by foreigners, is not taxed if earned outside the US, and is rarely taxed when "earned" inside the US.
Foreigners, instantly are eligible for full-payout social security, that is certainly not true for most Americans
Foreigners have no responsibility to pay taxes, serve on juries, or file a Selective Service Registration. Yet they get all of if not more of the public services, can own property, operate a business, free access to schools, hospitals, courts, parks while exempt from zoning and licensing laws.

That assumes a return to a Democrat administration. It might not get a lot coverage, good news for us rarely does, but the Trump administration has been doing lots of work to clean up elections across the country. Not saying everything is perfect but real changes are happening that encourage more honest voting.
Democrats need to cheat massively at the federal level to win. If they didn't they wouldn't be so dedicated to cheating. And despite the far left media bleating I'm not seeing a huge constituency for allowing a new wave of illegals to flood the country.
If Republicans are smart, a big if, they would start showing young people how opening the borders to millions of foreigners affects the pricing of everything they say they can't afford today. Because it does.

In reality it's far less. The major cheating only takes place in states Democrats control and have a chance to carry.
And if you follow Harmeet Dhillion you will see her talk about going after those states constantly. It is her primary mission.
Just this morning, more information about Chinese interference in our elections in 2016 and 2020 was released by the DOJ. Will the media mention it? Of course not. But that doesn't mean it isn't happening. I doubt there is a person in the US more focused on fixing election cheating on a mass scale than Trump. He's the one who had his 2nd term in 2020 stolen and he knows it.

I got told by my betters (and some here) that opposition to abortion would cost the Republicans elections up the ying-yang. But this barbarity is where cozying up to the aborticomaniacs leads to.

The GOP has a multi-generational reputation of grabbing Defeat from the jaws of Victory. Many view it as pure theater and Uniparty. Look at how vicious the Cornyn v Paxton primary race was compare to the milk-toast campaign being run to contest the generals. This is not new. Romney fought like he was possessed by a demon to win the GOP nomination, then laid down before Obama. Dittos with McCain, cheating and engaging in fraud in the primaries (remember Florida?) and then taking a nap to let Obama get an insurmountable lead to the November finish line.
Trump is on a mission. I know of no other than possibly Reagan who on the GOP was motivated to be a true Executive.

This whole abortion thing is already a sticky wicket but the ninth month crap, when we already know they sell the parts to China especially - and so we are talking high value items and possibly an overt demonstration of fealty, for Lord knows what in return - is purely demonic.

Women kill. A lot.
And even more women will defend that murder.*
We prefer the lie, the gross, disgusting lie, over the truth.
Feminine virtue can only exists within masculine justice.
And justice cannot exist where women are given governmental power over men--e.g., teachers, politicians, judges.
And ... voting.
1.126 million abortions last year in the US. Only 1%, by most estimates, were for rape, incest or serious health related.
Over 1 million murders.
And some 3,400 post-birth murders, euphemistically classified as SIDS.
By comparison, men only committed roughly 13k to 14k murders last year.
*celebrate it even.
Clancy has $700k raised; witness the cheering, clapping and smiles by women as the governor signed the law making no-excuse abortion up to birth legal.

The dirty truth is senior staffers are well to the left of the GOP voters. And that is because they spend all their time working with their Democrat counterparts and DC is a Democrat city It is also because many come from or hope to join the vast grifting K street apparatus that is donor driven. And GOP donors are to the left of the GOP base voters, and the Dem donors are usually to the right of the Dem base voters. Not always in the Dem case but usually.
Part of that is that the donor class is deeply in love with globo homo--on the right, endless ways to make money abroad by outsourcing and cheap immigrant labor. On the left, euro socialism, managed competition via cartels like Euroland, and permanent uber status over what they regard as patriotic peasantry.

All of it is performative bullshit to distinguish them from the hated Muricans. The ruling class believes themselves to be wiser, kinder, morally superior, and smarter than their fellow countrymen.
To do this, they mask what is good for them personally into broad bromides of how the world should work using the gaseous phrases they pick up at their educational establishments. Then you get the wannabes at lower institutions aping what they see are their betters.
Like the English lords on their great estates in the Victorian age, in order to be great, these nimrods tear down their own in order to feed their greed, their insatiable desire for power over others, and claims of moral superiority. But, unlike the ancient aristocracy that died in 1914, they at least had some patriotism and noblisse oblige in them. Today, nada.

What they refuse to admit is this is not a flow in the design, it was done specifically to prevent what Democrats want, mob rule.
The last of the 13 colonies to sign the Constitution was my small state, Rhode Island. The delegation held out for a year and refused to sign because they were afraid of losing the right to govern the state according to the wishes of the citizens of Rhode Island and have their desires overwhelmed by large states with bigger populations.
They know this. At least some of the less stupid. They just refuse to acknowledge it because they want an all powerful central government.

They just have to get enough judges to agree. At that point, votes do not even enter into the equation.
Posted by: Martini Farmer

Judges on Scotus were a primary cause of the Civil War from Dred Scott. Made it impossible for the North to limit slavery--at the time of the ACW, a case was pending in NY where a Southern planter was demanding to be able to take his slaves there and keep ownership.
What judges forget is that the People as a whole are the whole source of their power and if the people decide formally or informally to withdraw it, then they are just a bunch of twits in silly robes.
And the Democrat project to put a bunch of Turd Worlders on the bench are creating a severe backlash to any of their idiotic rulings to the point where none of their decisions are considered 'law' by a large proportion of the citizenry.
Allowing anarcho tyranny in blue areas is also destroying their prestige as people are tired of Democrat pets.

They're Communists, and they're getting what they want. These mayors will be able to turn around and say "the chocolate ration has been increased from 50 grams to 30 grams. Things only seem worse thanks to the shenanigans of Trump, Jews, other white people, rich people, and normies in far-flung places. But we stuck it to them, and we can stick it to them again. Plus, we'll increase the chocolate ration to 15 grams."
And they'll get reelected, and then rise to higher offices.
These aren't Americans. They're extremely hostile foreigners whose single issue is sticking it to us. They view their own misfortunes as both being caused by us, and as a patriotic duty in the war against us.

He no longer gets internal feeds from the private Obama polling. His rep was far greater than his actual abilities. He doesn't poll himself but relies on Monte Carlo simulations using polling data as his input and predictions of who wins as output.
Bad data in, bad data comes out which is why his accuracy is pedestrian nowadays.
Wait for likely voter screenings in polling after Labor Day, that is when polling that is grossly pro Democrat because it uses ridiculous sampling suddenly becomes a close horse race. Likely voter screening only begins for most when voter registration is largely done for the election (about thirty days prior for most states).
The next bad data dump is likely to be in mid Sept about early voting crap.
TJM has it about right, coin flip right now on GOP holding house but it will be narrow either way. Senate likely to stay GOP but the margin is up for grabs.

In most blue states you have a city that is full of:
Illegals
People working for the government
Clients of the office holders
No one in this group is going to rebel. From this position they loot the rest of the state and fix the vote. If the people from the 'burbs or rural areas were to come in they'll arrange for those people to be arrested or sick the feral yutes on them.
And I'll give you a very minor example of this. During the summer of 2020 a group of protestors went to Maura Healey's house and peacefully protested on the street outside of her property. Healey, fresh from letting BLM vandalize Boston and publicly arguing they had a right to do so had these protestors arrested.

The proverbial call went out to set the narrative that the Democrats, with an assist from the Democratic Socialists are going to run the table at midterms.
The "polls" are really nothing more than propaganda to get people who believe in that shit to stay home, or vote for the "winning side."
To a certain degree, it's working. It's being discussed here. Personally, I'm not buying it. YMMV

Well, Republicans are metaphysically useless, but that wouldn't help much.
"Dems did X, Y, and Z."
"SHUT UP U R RACIST"
The strategy can't be to move Dem voters. Just to motivate Trump voters. GOP candidates are not capable of that. They'd have to convince normies that they aren't part of the Democrat problem, which they can't do, because they are, and we know it.

I think this was Ossoff and his staff thinking internet snark like Obama did would fly. He is backpeddling on the insult yesterday and today because he is not an naturally likable guy and this made him look mean.
Most of his money being raised is from out of state and he didn't win the first time--the cheat got him and Warnock his office. That being said, Warnock is more genuine than Ossof is. Genuine black race baiting Atlanta Democrat is Warnock.
Ossoff is an empty suit willing to be directed where his donors and staff point him.
The degree of cheat is what will determine success or failure of his reelection.

I keep wondering if it's better for the phony Democrat "movement" they are about to foist on the country in 2027 if they win, split or lose in November.
I think "lose with a surprisingly strong showing from DSA" makes the most sense from a "narrative" perspective. It gives them a path to sand, salt and seed. But we will see.
They may REALLY need the House for his final two years in which case all bets are off.

I'm still not sure how we don't "know" that voters don't pick the Democrat Nominee, but here we are. Democrats are allergic to Democracy. Even their name is a lie. The nominee is already chosen. Maybe there's a backup in case they get hit by a bus or something else unforseen.
If the general election is intended to be in any way real it will not be Harris. Pretty sure it's a dude, that is the zeitgeist. If the GE is sealed up for the D's, then it absolutely could be Harris. But not because the primary voters chose her.

GOP will turnout. It is the independents that may or may not. It is not as if the Democrats are covering themselves in glory as they are losing on most issues polled and have a smaller margin on the few they lead. And DSA nutbags like El Sayed do not say to independent voters that the Dems are concerned about affordability. That race alone may have guaranteed a GOP hold in the Senate.
House was always going to be close with the fake 2020 Census by Biden and their total gerrymandering the GOP in CA even before the last one. But the GOP is returning service on gerrymandering finally and as a result, has more safe seats than the Dems at this point given prior voting behavior in those districts. That means the Democrats have to sweep contested seats and in a second term midterm, lot harder to do.
5 seats more or less may make the difference.

Tell me exactly what news sources you are watching and I will tell you what the prediction of that news source will be. First, turn off fox, its polling is abysmal and has been since Murdochs hired a Dem operative in the Obammy years to conduct their polls. Second, the ridiculous interactive polling bullshit affiliated with Baris is junk. This is the poll that had Massie winning for example. Hybrid models using online response with small samples are junk.
A) look for polls with likely voter sampling, not all people, not registered voter screens. B) for a state like Texas, you need somewhere about 900-1000 sample size using a consistent polling sample that has been replicated in the past. C), the polling operation needs to have prior Texas polling experience on a statewide basis. Then, you can figure they are reliable.
And D), the GOP always waits until after Labor Day to start its ads--GOP has a massive funding advantage and can now coordinate with candidates on spending.

Fox is fake and gay. And that is because the Murdochs hate Trump and I think that is reciprocated. And their goal is to keep you watching to sell ads and peddle foreign influence. Go back and watch ole Rupert nearly stroke out from rage when Trump announced Vance as VP selection. Rupert wanted someone else.
TV news is reality TV in essence--want information, you have to dig it out of X from reliable sources that actually crunch numbers. And you have to have enough prior knowledge to know when someone is peddling bullshit by further checking. Perfect example was the Massie primary--tv news reporting on the race was absolutely awful as was most polling there.

Forget the DNC. Aren't the progressives consistently following a plan to change the Democrat party?
It's a bit much but: Dec. 2018, Pelosi set a target to step down from House leadership within four years ahead of the new congressional session. Jan. 2019, AOC was officially sworn into the U.S. Congress. Nov. 2025, Pelosi formally announced she would not seek reelection & would fully retire at the end of her term in Jan. 2027.
Why did Pelosi set the 1st target date? CBS News, 'At least 16 Democrats signal they would oppose Pelosi as House speaker' Nov. 19, 2018. (It was actually the 2nd rebellion, the 1st being 2016 when Ohio's Tim Ryan argued the party needed a new direction & a stronger connection to "working-class" voters.) Pelosi 'defused the rebellion' by agreeing to term limits for House leadership.
A lot of the rebellious 'kids' moved on & out, but it's interesting both Abigail Spanberger and Mikie Sherrill, then joining AOC as high profile freshman, didn't sign the letter though publicly maintaining they wouldn't vote for Pelosi on the House floor because they had won...

Other interesting additions, Madeleine "Decency" Dean of PA also sworn in Jan. 2019, and Mary Gay Scanlon, who technically entered Congress Nov. 13, 2018, because she won a special election to fill the immediate vacancy of a Republican Rep. who resigned April. (Note the Court had also just created a new 5th Congressional District in PA in 2018, and the structural shift turned the District into a reliably safe Democratic district, leveling the state's delegation from 13-5 Republican majority to a 9-9 tie.)
But Republicans won control of the U.S. House of Representatives. Since Pelosi wasn't going to be Speaker, she 'chose to hand the minority leadership reins to a new generation.' House Democrats elected Hakeem Jeffries as their new leader Nov. '22.

AOC, a NY member, keeps a separation from the national DSA organization.
A few months ago, James Carville was pretty critical of AOC, viewing her brand of progressive politics as a major liability for the Democrat party.
Yesterday on Fox, he's not concerned about socialists taking over the Democrat Party and, suddenly, praises AOC for finally shifting her rhetoric toward the center. And on Sunday, Hakeem Jeffries also said he didn't back the agenda of DSA.
Timing.
As long as "Obamacare" is kept as the framework for Medicare/Medicaid expansion, the Democrat party shifts faster & further Left, though denying moving towards full blown socialism.
And while Steny Hoyer & James Clyburn have also stepped down from formal Democrat House leadership positions, for a younger generation of leaders, Clyburn is running again.
To rise, Sanders' AOC needs both Jeffries and Clyburn, who will also keep eyes on the new House socialists, including Chris Rabb, Adam Hamawry and more, time being.
Order #227, and excelling at theater.
