Trump Activates Never-Before-Used Court To Deport Terrorists
The court had been created in 1996 to quickly deport terrorist-sympathizing aliens. I imagine it was created in response to the first bombing of the World Trade Center by Muslim savages.
But it was just some empty posturing. It was never actually used. But Trump discovered this unused authority hanging around gathering dust it and now he's using it.The Trump administration has activated a previously unused deportation court designed for the removal of "alien terrorists" to remove an Afghan woman who allegedly knew of her son's plans to support the Islamic state. Haji Zada's son and son-in-law previously pleaded guilty to their plans to carry out a terrorist attack on Election Day in 2024, according to Politico. The administration has sought to deport her, alleging that she knew of her family's plans and was responsible for radicalizing them. The United States Alien Terrorist Removal Court held its first hearing in its history on Thursday, under the oversight of Judge Joan Ericksen. The court had never taken a case before Thursday. "Congress created the Alien Terrorist Removal Court three decades ago to remove from the United States alien terrorists who never should have been here in the first place," acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said in a statement. "The allegations in this case show the matriarch of an ISIS-sympathizing family aiding in a plot to launch a mass casualty attack on American voters on Election Day. The Department's application in this court makes clear that terrorists have no place in the United States of America," he added.Related: The Hamas-supporting, Muslim-funded fake "Jewish" organization J Street is protesting the injustice of deporting a terrorism-supporting "student" who repeatedly lied in his green card application, which by the way is against the law and voids the green card, because otherwise, why even have an application process? Why bother asking questions if the applicant is allowed to lie? It's very important to this fake "Jewish" organization to keep Muslim terrorists here in the US where they can do the most damage against The Great Satan.
This letter is demented for obvious reasons; J Street doesn't speak for the Jewish community or faith. But it also skips the fact that the Torah has expectations of "strangers." One of them is respecting the host's laws and society. Mahdawi wants to destroy our society. https://t.co/9kx1SeMXkf

Illegal Aliens, of course, but also
Legal Aliens should by law, get the heave-ho back across the border permanently if they commit any sort of crime whether felony or misdemeanor for say 10-20 years after admittance to the country..

Had two carpet cleaner guys here for stairwells this morning (the rest of the house is hardwood or tile). They were Americans. In and out in less than an hour. Some sort of ionized water vs soap. Dunno.
We have had far less apparent illegals in the last year doing repairs. Even when the sink drain screwed up basement walls last May, they were all Americans with plumbing, sheetrock, and painters. I know because I asked as I am a ghost with strange men in the house.
In the past I did like two guys who put in the tile bathrooms, but they also brought us fresh eggs from their farm, so hard to ignore.
I do badly want to report a rental house of roofers but they are quiet and I hope move on to Tijuana someday. A few houses down from us. No barking dogs.

In my state the head of Children's Services got in trouble for losing too many kids and got fired. So a couple of things I took from this:
1) There is apparently an acceptable number of kids for DCF to lose - and I don't mean kids that died with a bad foster parent or something - kids they can't find
2) The punishment for this is...losing your job? That's it? Hell if I lose *data sets* from my job I'd get sued/prosecuted by my company

One Third of All Democrats Now Identify As Socialists, While Only 39% of Country Would Consider Voting for a Socialist
According to a new Washington-Post Ipsos poll, socialism is unpopular, outside of the communist "Democrat Party" itself.
Far-left CNN reports that "about a third of Democrats and Democratic-leaning adults identify as democratic socialists," per the latest polling. This is a big problem for an increasingly radicalized Democrat Party that continues to move further and further to the left and far out of mainstream thinking on issues like abolishing prisons, abolishing the U.S. Senate, sexualizing and queering little kids, defunding the police, open borders, socialized medicine, annihilating Israel, and outright property confiscation. The polling shows that 59 percent of these socialists are under age 45 and -- surprise, surprise -- predominantly white (57 percent). They are also less likely to have a college degree or make over $100,000 per year. What should truly trouble the Democrat Party is how motivated these loons are to vote -- 66 percent are "extremely motivated to vote this year," compared to just 57 percent of non-socialist Democrats. When these extremists win primaries, especially in purple states, that gives Republicans a real chance to prevail.
A Washington Post-Ipsos poll shows 3 in 4 Democrats support a democratic socialist for president, but less than half of Americans agree. The Democratic Socialists of America has grown, yet Americans remain divided on its meaning. Age and education influence support, with younger, educated individuals more open to democratic socialist candidates.
... Three in 4 Democrats say they would be open to supporting a democratic socialist for president, but less than half of all Americans say they would vote for such a candidate, according to a Washington Post-Ipsos poll. ...
Republicans and right-wing influencers are increasingly invoking "communism," often to criticize democratic socialists and the Democratic Party broadly, according to a Washington Post analysis. Americans split on this comparison in the Post-Ipsos poll, with 30 percent saying democratic socialism is similar to communism while 32 percent say it is different and 36 percent saying they are not sure. Democratic socialism has clearly caught on with many Democrats, fueling questions about how that energy will affect upcoming elections, including the 2028 presidential race. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York), a DSA member, is viewed as a potential presidential candidate. The Post-Ipsos poll indicates that 55 percent of Americans would not consider voting for a democratic socialist for president, while 39 percent would consider supporting one and 6 percent having no opinion. A majority of self-described independents, 54 percent, would also rule out a democratic socialist candidate. A much smaller segment of Americans -- 15 percent -- say they like leaders who identify as democratic socialists, compared with 36 percent who dislike them and nearly half saying they neither like nor dislike democratic socialists, the poll shows. About one-third of Democrats say they like democratic socialist candidates and 10 percent dislike them, but most have neither positive nor negative views of them. Republicans are more negative, with 7 in 10 disliking democratic socialists.

He totally thought things should be divided equally, and to hell with degrees! Not fair tantrums of a degree got a job over him! Totally not understanding that he was also a strange dude who gave me the creeps.
He should be a manager, too! His goal in life!!! He was once manager of a GrubHub call center in Chicago and reached his dream. Therefore, once he lost that job, it was manager or no job. He chose no job for years and this is how he collected unemployment: he would go for jobs he was not qualified for but met their quota.

Seriously. What I really am is anti-Republican. I figured out at 8 sitting in church these mother fuckers did not need to be anywhere near power, and it's democrats I gotta vote for to keep them out. The problem with Democrats is most of them are cowards and some of them are Republicans.
I wonder if every time a good idea comes up, republicans scream “That is socialism!” They are making socialism sound awesome.
Good. I have thought since the 90s that if the left wanted power all they had to do was take over the Democratic Party.
Eugene Debbs crawled so Bernie Sanders could walk, so the latest crop of democratic socialists can run. Let's hope for the presidency so that we can finally change things around here.
I just want hospitals to work like libraries. My taxes fund them and then anyone can just go in and use it whenever they need to.

Most of the leftwing posters called this a strawman with no explanation but one poster did answer.
You see you can't have socialism if the socialists don't control all the means of production. So if even if few million people pooled their wealth it wouldn't count because some guy had his own machine tools company and some other guy had his own farmstand and so on.
Which is...mighty convenient.
And I'll offer an exact capitalist contrast - under Mao's pure socialism people in China starved. Deng enacted some modest market reforms and China's wealth and living standards have exploded.

I had the best time watching their meetings. They did not want a democratic set up or officers and Roberts Rules of order. Or one person in charge. It evolved into chaos and I was laughing hysterically.
Mostly because it was free mic for people wanting to be something or have something to say. The closed captioning malfunctioned and I nearly died. One lady, and it was sad, was discussing her native American sister who died and closed captioning mentioned "My Little Pony" and I was undone.
Then a drunk/stoned man wandered in for the mic and sang. My husband finally asked his wth are you doing as I was making a lot of noises.
There was a garden where one eejit planted a pineapple. Then the raciss wars started and a few fenced off a little garden for blacks only.

To shut them up on socialism it would make taxes worthwhile! Well, once we deport the illegals and keep the socialist nitwits locked up.
In other words, the mental hospitals of the 1970's but with a new socialist name? They could all be happy again and off the streets with the hobos! But more like a prison with wardens to keep them there. No needles, sorry, allowed.
And for heaven's sake don't ask for them to work! This also disrupted a commune... as the work was divided and no one wanted latrine duty. It fell to one hippie guy who griped that the rest all signed up for arts and crafts with children.

I watched a black woman try to change a tire on her Nissan not long ago in the parking lot of the grocery store, before I helped her. This particular educated black woman didn't understand that a jack was needed and was trying to pull off the wheel while the car was sitting on the ground. I watched for a little while until she started pounding on the tire with the tire iron.
Don't get me wrong. I think there are plenty of white women out there who'd do something similar.
But, here's the kicker. All the while I'm putting on the spare (one of those little doughnut wheels), this bitch was acting like a jackass exclaiming "I'm not gonna pay you. I'm not gonna pay you." I just said "you're welcome" and walked away. She'd make a good Air Traffic Controller or maybe am Astrophysicist. Don't you think?

-----------------
I lived in Denmark for a couple of years at the turn of the Millenium. My library card actually functioned as my health care insurance card as well. Maybe that's where this dude got the library/hospital comparison.
And for what it's worth, the Danish socialist health care was actually pretty good. My son was born in Denmark and it went fine. And my daughter received good care for childhood epilepsy. So maybe socialist healthcare worked, at least for Denmark, and at that point in time. Denmark (at that time) was rich, homogeneous, and very culturally conforming. No one would even consider fraud or gaming the system. Don't know how it is now.
From Denmark, we moved to the UK. What a nightmare health care system. NHS the envy of the world? Yeah, right. It's the worst aspects of capitalism and socialism, administered by bureaucrat doctors who make Fauchi look like an unmercenary healer. If ever we, God forbid, go down the socialist healthcare road, it would probably be worse than the UK. My two cents.

There's a fair bet that the current 'socialists' honest to God do not even know what socialism is. So when they fail, they won't be lying when they come back and say no one has tried it yet.
They're posturing very hard to convince themselves they're "revolutionaries," and they haven't thought that part through either. It could turn out to be a hard pose to hold.

She is confusing facts, whether deliberately or not.
Black women are indeed the most educated black people. Black women with college degrees greatly outnumber black men with degrees. That might not be saying much, but it's true.
This is a big reason why educated black women have been increasingly dating white guys. The "pool" of available educated black men is relatively small, and a significant percentage of them want white women.
Now, the worth of these college degrees, and whether that makes anyone smarter or dumber is a different issue.

But, as the violence escalates (and it already is with cover from the press)...these groups will pop up domestically to influence what needs influencing.

Because the colleges and universities have been over-producing huge numbers of underemployed and under-performing, over-educated nominally intelligent graduates who get more resentful every year that they see society not valuing them commensurate with their degrees.
Socialism comforts them with soothing lies that society and capitalism are to blame and giving massive power to the government will fix that.

My father showed me stuff on car repair and changing a tire. I nodded a lot (altho at the time I did sort of understand the under the hood stuff and how to check my oil).
However, I knew darn well I would not jack up a car or be able to change a tire. I suppose I could in the desert and dying, but it would have taken a long, long time. As well, the idea of a jack and car falling terrifies me.
I figured someone would help me and fortunately never had a flat. We know it would have been a serial killer.

I'm betting the curriculum on the actual horrors of 20th century communism are pretty thin, if at all.
We covered it some when I was in school, but even then (80s & 90s) it was a gloss over while the entire communist world was falling apart.
A good portion of the population has learned what they know of the actual history of communism on their own research & observation.

That would give them time to clean ranks of screaming blue-haired commies and all the rest of their weirdoes and find a bunch of unknown best the best Americans evah to run for 2028 or 2032.

One of the dumber things in our current culture is 20 year olds screaming it isn't fair 50 year olds make more then them and demanding they be taxed into oblivion.
Why?
Because those 20 year olds will be the 50 year olds making $$$ in a generation...well...assuming they work. But then they'll have it taken away from them.
AND
The 50 year olds they want to tax right now are their own parents.

That was the question I should have asked Orson...was this in the South, this edumacated womman?
Most of our black people in my family's county are kind. Two years ago we stopped at a Walmart en route to the farm to get groceries. We were the only white peoples in that store. To a person they were polite and seemed kind.
It was Valentine's night and a white dude about 30yrs younger than me tried to hit on me while I carried a potted hydrangea for my mother (because grandson insisted we buy her flowers). He was all flirty that they smelled good (they don't smell) and walked next to me until my dude appeared. I ignored him.
Our son laughed and said that I get hit on more than DIL, and my dude said, "Well, she attracts crazy people like a magnet."

Michigan is a state that allows people to vote in the National election who have never lived in Michigan. Michigan tries to imply that these are all prodigy of military personnel who reached the eligible age to vote while living overseas. HOWEVER, think about something. The way the law reads is that if the last residence of a US citizen was in Michigan, than the son(s) or daugher(s) or spouse of that individual can register and vote in Michigan. So, how many Muslims gaining citizenship in the US, and lived in Michigan returned to where ever they came from and then listed a number of over 18 children (or a spouse) who then registered in voted in Michigan? No one knows. How many of these 18 year olds actually exist? No one knows. And you can bet the vetting process isn't exactly stellar.

"property is theft" means the world is a zero sum game, and to get more than what you have means forcing it away from someone else. In the past there was proof that was not true because young families could get a house on a single, non-professional income, and have money for a car and sometimes steaks for dinner if they scrimped.
Nowadays young families both work and get told they have to work harder because they are lazy and entitled and even if they are allowed to work more than 35 hours a week because of mandatory benefits requirements, they still can't afford that even if they work 70 hours a week like they are working for Foxconn. So there is no reason to not try socialism.

There is always a reason for a smart person to not try socialism, communism, or any of most of these systems. They are defined as utopias because the people imagine that the persons dividing up the wealth, property will be them. This will NEVER be true.

Ukraine Drones Reach All the Way to the Caspian Sea to Destroy Two Sanctioned Russian Ships Delivering Iranian Military Equipment to Russia
There's a lot of whining from the Russians and Iranians and the hard left, but the rules are clear, ships transporting arms and military gear are fair targets in war.
And Russia is meanwhile sinking Ukranian ships delivering grain to foreign buyers. So, fair is fair.Ukraine struck an Iranian cargo vessel in the Caspian Sea, claiming it was transporting drone and missile components to Russia, marking the first direct military link between the wars in Ukraine and Iran.Well... it is also reported that Russia is providing Iran with the targeting data it uses to hit our bases with missiles, including the deadly attack on a base in Jordan a couple of weeks ago.
Iran vowed retaliation, accusing Kyiv of violating international law, while Ukraine defended the strike as part of its campaign to disrupt Russia's military supply chains and its partnership with Tehran. The attack carries broader geopolitical implications, potentially deepening coordination between Russia and Iran while signaling closer strategic alignment between Ukraine and the U.S. amid the expanding regional conflict. ... While details of the July 25 incident are murky, Ukraine's intelligence agency the SBU said its drones hit an oil platform in the Caspian Sea along with a Russian missile boat and "cargo ships that are under international sanctions." President Volodymyr Zelensky on Saturday announced that Ukrainian forces had achieved "very good results" in long-range strikes in the Caspian Sea, including against vessels used to transport military cargo linked to Iran.
Ukraine says it has struck several vessels in the Caspian Sea used to transport Russian military cargo to Iran. Reports suggest the cargo ships Port Olya 2 and Begey were hit. Meanwhile, Iranian regime-affiliated channels are threatening ballistic missile strikes on Ukraine. pic.twitter.com/OBFk2SdH3H

Hasan thinks that the only reason Ukraine hit an Iranian ship was because Zelenskyy is nothing but a puppet being controlled by America and Israel.
— usurp tha chef (@usurpthachef) July 30, 2026
Or maybe they attacked the Iranian ship because Iran has been assisting Russia murder Ukrainians????
I guess Hasan's CCP provided… pic.twitter.com/wUexcYZEXb

While Russians are crying over Wildberries crap their drones are hunting grain ships in the Black Sea. pic.twitter.com/5kZ1t8nokB
As you probably know, Ukraine has been sinking Russian military and sanctioned cargo ships throughout the Black Sea, despite having no navy. They use drones, both flying and water-borne. They're intensifying the war against the Russian economy and military supply lines, blowing up oil refineries so that oil-rich Russia actually has a fuel crisis. And they're also hitting the factories of Russia's mega-store Wildberries, called Russia's Amazon. Wildberries itself might go bankrupt from having $4 billion of the stock stored at its warehouses destroyed. The company itself is worth only $9 billion. Russian banks are limiting customers from withdrawing their money and oligarchs are warning that a bank crisis is coming. A Wildberries bankruptcy might collapse the whole system.
The war has reached Moscow. 🏙️🔥

3. Iran is supposedly so depleted in missiles and drones it can barely launch a dozen a day. If this is true, and I've been assured it is, then why would Iran be shipping these things to Russia.

On paper there's not much stopping Russia militarily from taking out power plants although Ukraine might be able to do some damage in parallel.
Things are heating up, at least in how broadly both sides are striking, but I'm not seeing much evidence of either materially strengthening their position.

1. And peace deal eventually reached between Russia and Ukraine will require the return of those funds by the UK and the EU. They want to spend them to make a peace deal very difficult to achieve.
2. UK is NATO sovereign soil. If Russia (or someone pretending to be Russian) blows up that factory, that triggers emergency consultations under Article 4 and risk the invocation of Article 5 collective defense, massive economic sanctions, and potential direct military retaliation. Ukraine has captured and shot down Russian drones. They could easily set up a ruse to force NATO into military action...(which means the US)...That has been Zelenskyy's and the EU's and UK's goal all along.

We watched 5 seasons of The Last Ship (the USS Nathan James) and I am now an expert with naval warfare. Just like I could land a plane from playing Flight Simulator with my sons.
I note the bridge is on fire on that ship and now understand why. I did not pay much attention (what is new?) til I watched our Navy/Marines talking to ships in the Strait recently and firing on that part of the ship as well.
It was a pretty good series til the last one, and we watched them all and had our favorite actors.

After hitting the ships in the sea of Azov, Russia responded by hitting the ships and ports around Odessa pretty heavily, which is where a lot of their arms industry was and, of course where they got trade income. Reports are this hurt the Ukrainians pretty badly.

That stuff is not that durable. Shell a power plant with artillery for a bit and you won't be able to use it, let alone two years.
Both sides until earlier this year have been relatively restrained in attacks on civilian elements.
The war is now expanding to include them. Will that speed things up? Perhaps. It's not obvious that this would favor Ukraine though.

2. I trust this reporting about as far as I could throw that fat disgusting tranny pig who killed his mom.
3. Iran is supposedly so depleted in missiles and drones it can barely launch a dozen a day. If this is true, and I've been assured it is, then why would Iran be shipping these things to Russia.

I suppose to big lesson here is that the US military better learn how to make the best air, land, and sea drones then build them. Also learn and build the best defense against drones.
Also, based on Iran we need a new ROE that has us bombing every bit of energy and infrastructure of our enemies without worrying about helping them afterwards.

Is there a need to manipulate language like this? Previously neither side was really attacking civilian or economic infrastructure. Ukraine expanding the conflict to include it, Russia matched.
They are both no longer attempting to secure victory primarily on the battlefield. It is unclear whether this really favors Ukraine, despite reporting treating it as a foregone conclusion.

so far, where the rubber hits the road the Russians continue a methodical advance in the Donbass. A week or so ago about 15000 Ukr troops were pocketed, though I did not see if any got out. Ukr's ability to stop the advances is pretty limited. Russia is limited by the ability of drones to contest resupply and quick movement of troops for reinforcement or breakouts with the limited crappy roads in Ukraine, especially after all the years of war.
That CIA stat about 30 minutes is laughable, however. They've been trying to sell the human wave stuff since 2022.

Again, the entire power infrastructure is within range. There aren't magical shields or something protecting them. Both sides from time to time have accused each other of endangering one power plant or another, but neither have launched serious attacks on them, even to this point.
Further escalation might see them actually start taking out power plants.
Russia has plenty of room to escalate, nor will moralizing at them prevent them from doing so. Changing this war from a grinding one of miltiary attrition to one of pressuring civilians may be a dangerous game of chicken where both sides start doing serious infrastructure damage.

So for Ukraine, they have less room to escalate than Russia, so fighting this by attrition has made sense, they remain outnumbered and outgunned.
For Russia, they believe they are taking out NATO equipment for cheap, which is also correct. NATO equipment in the hands of NATO troops, aka US troops, would be much harder to destroy.
The west regards it as a win that they should keep fighting.
There is no clear alternate path to victory so that's been the status quo.

Earlier in the war both sides had a tacit agreement to restrict the front to the south and south east to around Kharkov area - presumably because neither side could not man the full front. A few times over the years Ukraine has raided, or invaded in these zones and now the front has extended to close to the Belarus border, giving Ukraine that much more ground to cover. Limited wars do tend to grow, but given the limited manpower of Ukraine I think the result was not justified by the positive press and the eventual losses when Russia ejected them from Russia proper.

I see a video put out by the Ukes that purported to be one of their drones using WP to burn a group of Russian troops hiding in a line of trees.
Now, it looked fake to me, the tree line was way too thin - like what you would pick if you wanted to test a new fire based weapon not where you would hide as a grunt and there was no return fire.
But...that reminded me that the left spent years trying to get American soldiers put on trial for using WP as a smoke screen which is "legal" versus using as a direct weapon which is apparently "a war crime"

Earlier in the war Russia bought suicide drones, and the plans to them from Iran by license. They set up their own factories and have been building and using them for years. They might well be buying drones still, but I would think Iran would be saving them for their own use these days.

After the initial push and retreat. Russia has since postured at expanding the front through Belarus but not done so.
At any rate the military situation remains largely a stalemate. Making this about who can inflict and endure more civilian suffering is risky but will speed things up. If it gets all the way to power plants we're going to have millions of refugees in Europe, again.

Apple TV does have 'free movies' in the movies section.
Some are their own original productions (like 'F1' with Brad Pitt) and the rest are licensed. You just have to scroll down and find them in the categories section. The free movies don't have the shopping bag icon for rent/buy
They have nowhere near the selection of Netflix or Amazon, there might be a few hundred on there at most.

The Donbass and the 4 Regions are not only mostly under Russian control, Russia actually formally incorporated them into the country, and now occupy about 90 percent of them physically. The areas near Kharkov and Kursk are also being hinted at being kept.
I can't see Russia allowing Odessa to become a NATO base at all, so either that goes to them or some sort of open city stuff would have be done.

But Russia -- when actually viewed through a lens of "Can we get along with these people" or "Do they have a bona fide grudge?" -- is a reasonable entity.
The Ukraine mess is all their fault. Unless you take into account NATO expansion that eliminated their buffer zone, or Obama's interventions and secret labs and government overthrows, or Kiev's bombing the shit out of the very region ten years ago that they now claim to be vewwy, vewwy sowwy to be losing...

While there is a blockade the US has otherwise avoided targeting much of Iran's civilian economy directly. Iran has little capability to respond if we should do so and such options are being considered, but there are humanitarian concerns.

There is a theory that had Luftwaffe General Walter Wever not been killed in a crash in 1936, the Nazis would have won the war. He favored building "Urals bombers" which would have had the wherewithal to blast London et al. to say nothing of interfering or preventing the Soviet relocation of factories beyond the Urals. His replacement favored number of bombers over quality. P.S. The crash that killed him was caused by failure to remove the aileron gust locks prior to attempting to take off. For want of a nail . . .

In WWII we sent thousand bomber raids on the regular on factories, cities and German war production increased anyway until late 1944 when we could use tactical aircraft on rail systems. I see most of the 'logistic hits' and even Russia's missile attacks as stunts, which affect the battlefield only minimally. Drones for both sides just cripples the movement of forces - no columns of trucks on the roads, no huge open depots, people have to scamper from place to place before drones can react and find air cover in wooded areas or towns. Russian advances tend to be that way, troops rush to a new town or woodlot, dig in, then just expand this finger out with time. You do that in another place, and eventually engulf anyone in between. Ukraine's offensive punch seems about nil.
Posted by: Oldcat at July 30, 2026 03:38 PM (uhVAy)
Interesting. I've also read that Hitler didn't want a large bomber initially because he didn't think he'd need it and didn't want to admit to the German people that he might. Sort of like him refusing to equip the Wehrmacht with winter clothing.

At this point, I think the cognitive dissonance has driven the American left literally insane, to the point they're immune to it. They can just go ahead and believe opposite things now.
I used to think that the internal contradictions in their beliefs would eventually get to them. Russia is geopolitically aligned with all of their other fetish states; it's only the Obama gang's "Russian collusion" conspiracy lies on Hillary's behalf that put them on Ukraine's side in the first place, cemented then by their own TDS and Trump's contempt for the Biden clan's corruption.
This conflict between their Ukraine fetish and their Iran fetish was always inevitable. But I no longer believe that it will wake them up; I think they'll just marinate in their insanity, like a baby with a full diaper and an addict mom.

Putin is already looking weak to his people with them having to wait hours/days in line to get gas in a country whose biggest export is oil & natural gas.
We prod that bear it will probably bite.

Large bombers are very expensive. Just heard in an audio book that in 1942 Bomber command was using 42 percent of UK military expenditures for about no result at all and high losses.
In Germany, the strategic Airforce and Navy had to tussle with the Army and tactical air for resources, which they always would lose because that's what you need to overrun Europe.

Well, pretty much all the potential leaders in Ukraine do similar accumulation of wealth. But the fact that he can go berate the UK and EU for money and support is the reason he stays in power. Nobody else has the 'star' appeal the media and EU gave him during the early days.

They have been biting off bits pretty regularly, and they are also nearing taking all the parts that were fortified before the war started in 2022 which were worked on since 2014. The ground gets open and flat, and places to hide from drones and artillery get fewer.

Russia has small go-carts on remote control for carrying ammo and supplies in or evaccing wounded. The other jobs can be done just as easily by a drone, or using a tank or artillery gun from miles in the rear to blow up a pillbox or building. These still work.

Thousands of Africans Flood Past Weak Fencing to Enter Spanish City of Ceuta, Saying "Goodbye Morocco, Hello Spain;"
The Socialist, Open Borders Government Refuses to Halt the Mass Illegal Migration
The Democrats have a plan for America. This is that plan.
I think this town is on the African side of Gibraltar.
Hundreds of migrants swim to Spain's Ceuta territory from Morocco Ceuta (Spain) (AFP) -- Hundreds of migrants entered the Spanish north African exclave of Ceuta on Thursday, AFP reporters saw, many of them having swum by sea around the frontier fence. Migration from Morocco into Spain's two north African territories, Ceuta and Melilla, has long been a politically sensitive issue between the two countries, as thousands cross the border at times. AFP reporters saw a stream of adults and children, most of them wet, entering the town. Discarded flotation rings and clothes had been left on the shore near where the frontier barrier meets the sea. The president of Ceuta, Juan Vivas, said Wednesday that 1,500 migrants had come to Ceuta by sea in the past few days. "We are in a situation of total humanitarian and social emergency," he said in comments broadcast Thursday by Spanish television. Earlier, he had said that the reception centres were saturated as the number of people entering was more than 200 a day. "There is no more room for anyone," he said. Officials could not immediately be reached on Thursday to give more recent figures.
Gathering in Morocco Migrants walked cheerfully through the streets of Ceuta, thanking the Spanish police and calling out: "Bye bye, Morocco, hello Spain." Police and Civil Guards in Ceuta appeared to do little to intervene, though some officers attempted to direct the arrivals to the local migrant reception centre. ... On the Moroccan side of the border, an AFP reporter on Thursday afternoon saw hundreds of people including children gathered near the border between Ceuta and the local town of Fnideq, waiting to cross into the Spanish territory. ... Sanchez's right-wing political rivals immediately pressured him on Thursday over the migrant arrivals. "The government cannot look the other way regarding its duties because we are facing a national security crisis," said opposition Popular Party leader Alberto Nunez Feijoo on X. Far-right Vox party leader Santiago Abascal on X blamed Sanchez personally for the migrant influx in Ceuta. Ceuta and Melilla have Europe's only two land borders with Africa.
Fox News
@FoxNews Thousands of migrants from Morocco poured over the country's border with Spain and into the country's African enclave of Ceuta after swimming around border barriers to reach the territory. The latest wave comes after more than 1,500 migrants arrived in Ceuta by sea over the past week, according to regional authorities. Ceuta's leader is now urging Spain's national government to declare an emergency as the enclave faces another major surge at the European Union's only land border with Africa. This border breach comes at the same time as President Trump sounds the alarm about the rising number of migrants coming from Africa and other parts of the world who he says are "invading" European countries.

@visegrad24
BREAKING: 🇪🇸 An "absolute migratory emergency" has been declared in Spain's enclave of Ceuta after a massive surge of illegal migrants. Hundreds of Moroccan and Algerian migrants who flooded the Spanish enclave yesterday breached the border fence today without control. In recent days, more than 1,500 migrants, including adults and minors, reached Ceuta by sea, swimming from Morocco and overwhelming border security. Today they completely overwhelmed local forces, leaving reception and juvenile centers fully saturated. With resources exhausted, Ceuta's government demanded that Spain declare a national emergency and send the military to suppress the crisis.
Holy. Shit.

Spain has been over-run with Moroccans going back even before the mass invasion into Europe. Hell, the Spanish had problems with these people going back centuries.
They claim there are now 1.5 million Moroccans in Spain. You can triple that number and you'll still be well below the real number.

It's not an invasion. It's conquest.
Once there are enough of them across the border, they'll insinuate themselves into law enforcement and the political system to take over the levers of power from within.
They've already done it in England.

"Ceuta and its larger sister city Melilla, situated some 400km further south along the coast, trace their Spanish past to the 15th Century.
Coveted by Morocco, they have long been a flashpoint in diplomatic relations with Spain. Madrid asserts that both territories are integral parts of Spain and have the same status as the semi-autonomous regions on its mainland.
Historically, both port cities developed as military and trade centres linking Africa to Europe. Since 1995, they have enjoyed a limited degree of self-government as Autonomous Communities.
Unemployment among the native workforce is more than 30%, among the highest rates in Spain. The cities are a magnet for thousands of traders and menial workers who cross the border from Morocco each day to earn a living."

According to Google Maps, there's a ferry line between Ceuta on the Moroccan side of the Straits and Algeciras on the Spanish side.
My guess is once the invading horde is in Ceuta, they don't have to worry about customs/immigration to cross the Straits.
There are also ferries from Tangier, but those must be more tightly controlled.

But Spain has (I think two, but maybe just one) enclaves of Spanish territory on the African continent. So it is a Spanish town, South of the strait.
Border control has been a problem for them for a long time. They need a machine gun. And they would not have to kill a lot -- kill a few and they get the message.

People report much more rudeness, dismissiveness, even aggression than ever before. Plus, anyone wearing a star of David will get chased out of town for being a "Zionist."

The commie media reports these events as if they're organic movements of people, but of course they're not. They're well-funded, well-organized, and crawling with human traffickers.
Just like DataRepublican points out above that this invasion of Cueta was planned and organized.
I suspect these initial waves are all younger men because it's a test wave. If the test waves are successful -- and they will be -- then the later waves will have many more women and kids. Same thing happened with the Mexican caravans, IIRC.
Again, this is all planned and organized.

See, I always heard these stories and for a long time I thought that was the only way to make money in the market. You had to pick Apple in 1980 and ride it to the moon.
Now I'm happy to make 2% gains per month and make compound interest work for me. $100 at 2% monthly for 52 years (1974 to 2026) is $23.25 million.

The linked articles are somewhat misleading or confusing.
These invaders didn't swim from Morocco to Spain. Ceuta isn't in mainland Spain or Europe. Ceuta is in North Africa. It's a Spanish territory/city that it's on the very north coast of Morocco. You can walk from Morocco to Ceuta.
The problem is there's a fence around Ceuta that extends about 50 feet into the ocean. These invaders swam around the fence. I wouldn't even say "swim." They basically walked 50 feet out into the ocean and around the fence.

>>I still think your experience is awesome and I love that for you.
Unless you invent something or inherit money, the stock market is the best wealth generator ever invented.
And tech stocks have been some of the best wealth generators.
Even though I loath Msft, they have been my main wealth generator throughout it's history.
If you bought 50k of msft in 2012 or thereabouts, you'd have a million dollars today.
If you bought 1k of KO DRIP in 1988 and bought 50 dollars a week and continue for 38 years, you would have over 600k on a passive outlay of 100k.
And that's just two mechanisms.
You don't really need a lot of money but you do need time and perseverance.

Spain is much better for poor migrants. Much more generous welfare and subsidies.
But the real incentive is that, as I understand it, if you can get to Spain you're in the EU, and then can legally go anywhere.
These invaders aren't in "Spain." They're in a Spanish city/territory in Morocco. I'm not sure what that means in terms of them being able to legally go to Spain itself.

The league is still a laughing stock. It has had a slight bump in attention but it squashed the attempts to monetize and get more attention off Sophie pointing. I'm not seeing where the "op" is.
If the point is to generate headlines I guess it's working sort of? But it's becoming more of a joke not less. An op generally needs to have an endgame, something you want people to learn or accept or do.

BUT, if you research based on specific crimes in Spain, every single crime is increasing rapidly in the last decade. And yet, they still proclaim their overall crime to be stable. Violent crimes, they say, remain steady at 5%. But, if you look specifically at robber, rape, murder and assault. Each of those categories has increased significantly.
This is the norm in every one of these European countries getting deluged by foreigners. They are misrepresenting their crime statistics purposefully, while their media allows it to stand.

Here's Wikipedia's description of the murder of Henry Nowak........
According to The Guardian and CBC News, British far-right and anti-immigrant politicians have used the murder to push anti-immigrant rhetoric and the "White grievance" narrative—that White people are disadvantaged by racialised people and migrants.

Odd scene in the movie that undermines Leo's status, IMO. The humpback was clearly not Spartan material, but all Leo had to do was give him some ceremonial position in the army and that would have been enough. Instead, Leo tells him to fuck off. He musta known that was risky. But he did it anyway, and it ended up killing all his men. Dumb.

This is the egregiousness of "globalism" in a nutshell. You build a society that is productive and safe, while your neighbor builds a society based on graft, corruption, nepotism and the illogical. That neighbor shows up at your door and demands to be let in because their place is a mess and they are disinclined to fix it or are incapable of doing so. The latter is more likely as they bring that graft, crime, corruption etc. with them to your place and start dismantling everything you have accomplished while simutaneously claiming ownership.

The Gay Communists of the WNBA Micro-Fandom Harass, Threaten Two Teenage Girls for Supporting Sophie Cunningham and All-Female Sports
Just disgraceful. They're animals.
WNBA Team Co-Owner Fined, Suspended for Harassing Teen Fans over Opposition to Men in Women's Sports
The Seattle Storm apologized after the team's co-owner Celeste Keaton harassed two teenage fans during a home game over their opposition to trans-identifying males participating in women's sports. Keaton was fined by the WNBA and suspended from the Storm's next five home games for berating two teenage girls at Tuesday's game against the Indiana Fever. The girls were wearing "XX XY Athletics" shirts and holding signs expressing support for Sophie Cunningham, a Fever guard who has spoken out in support of fairness in women's and girls' sports. "We apologize that this happened," the Seattle Storm said in a statement. "Everyone who attends a Storm game deserves to feel welcome, and we remain committed to creating an inclusive environment where every fan is treated with respect." The girls' signs read, "Thank you, Sophie #8, for speaking up for girls!" "Bravo to those girls for standing up for what they believe," Cunningham posted on X. "You'll be hearing from me soon." In an interview after the game, the teenage girls told podcaster Brandi Kruse that Keaton swore at them until one of them broke down in tears. "This older lady comes up to us and she asks, 'What are you guys doing?'" one of the girls told Kruse. "And she's like, 'Oh I hope Jesus can forgive you for what sin you've done.'" Then the woman called the girls "F***ing insane" and pointed to her head. One of the girls started sobbing. "I've never been yelled at like that. I've had people hate on me on the internet, but it doesn't really affect me as much," she said. "That just took me by surprise because I thought she was going to be nice, and she just started screaming at us and cussing at us." ... When the girls later learned that the woman who swore at them was a co-owner of the Storm, they were shocked and disappointed. They said the rest of the game was difficult to sit through. ...
When the group entered the stadium, they were heckled by fans who continued to boo Cunningham each time she touched the ball. Fans would also boo the girls when they took pictures before the game as well as between quarters.

Ace, check out the newest post at Twitchy. The WNBA media account posted a video of Angel Reece and Paige Bueckers betting on their own games. It's against league rules.

Basketball in general has become a big bore.
In men's basketball, it almost all 3-point shots, and multiple fouls at the end to play the numbers game, so teams can't catch up.
Boooooring!

Being a great leftist himself it’d be funny watching the lefties trying to decide if it was wonderful or awful. James is so big and powerful he might kill 2 or 3 opposing players per game by pure accident running them over. It would be fabulous

There are pics of her as a young girl. She looks like a girl would at that age, maybe 5-6 years old. Believe it or not, she was actually kinda cute.
It wasn't until her teenage years that she started looking more masculine.
All dick jokes aside, I have always thought she started taking steriods and performance-enhancing drugs around this time. If even a feminine woman takes male hormones for 10+ years, they will end up looking like ... Griner.

Me and the wife were out with Joe Mannix at a trivia night, and he sats "did you hear what happened to these two young girls at a WNBA game?"
I said "lemme guess... they were wearing Caitlin Clark jerseys, and one of these 'roided out ladychimps went into a Pavlovian response and attacked them."
He laughed pretty hard at how freaking close I guessed it. It's a gift.

Any mediocre male college basketball player could "transition", and immediately become the WNBA's superstar.
Officially, the WNBA claims that no trannies have been interested in playing in the WNBA.
Posted by: The ARC of History! at July 30, 2026 12:20 PM (aD4fx)
To my knowledge no self-proclaimed trannies have played in US female pro sports. The league rules must prohibit it. Because team owners, sponsors, and TV networks know it would soon lead to no viewers and no ticket sales. They are privately-owned so legally not subject to Fed anti-discrimination laws Nonetheless, it is discriminatory collusion, straight-up. I'm somewhat amazed a tranny or two or three has not sued the WNBA, WTA, and women's pro soccer for discrimination against them. The trannies thinking of doing so must be getting credible threats of their lives being made hell on Earth. And/or getting paid-off. Coaches and owners considering hiring trannies to win championships must be getting told, "No Way."

Bloomberg News was spitting chips over Warsh's press conference. Lisa Abramowicz in particular was ready to draw and quarter Warsh over not committing to raise rates or give any Fed guidance to that effect. A great noise was made over the 3 dissenters to yesterday's rate vote. None of them were named Jay Powell, who voted with Warsh. Nobody is bothering to mention him anymore, even though he's still a voting member of the Fed. Not very convenient for the narrative, I guess.

Yes, but owners of women's pro leagues could make it financially worthwhile to a male athlete or two to pretend to be a trans-woman, to win a championship or two. But it would soon financially backfire on the owner as I described. Trans-women in pro women's sports is like a self-limiting chemical reaction. Due to the financials. Money always trumps ideology sooner or later.

The Thursday Morning Rant
 (1).jpg)
Yes, the CBD 'Journey Into Subconsciousness' continues.
Paul Orders Fauci Attorney Removed From Hearing Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., ordered one of Dr. Anthony Fauci's attorneys removed from a Senate hearing Wednesday after the former White House chief medical adviser repeatedly invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination during questioning about the COVID-19 pandemic. The confrontation unfolded before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, where the Kentucky Republican had subpoenaed Fauci to testify about the origins of the coronavirus and the federal government's response to the pandemic, reports The Hill. Before questioning began, Fauci criticized Paul, accusing the committee chairman of being intent on securing his prosecution.I do not have enough disgust for the sanctimonious and megalomaniac "Doctor" Fauci and his shyster mouth piece Schertler. I'll say this for Hitler. He was open and honest compared to Anthony Fauci. And that is my rant for the day.
"The only conclusion I can reach is that the sole reason he is calling me before this committee is to get me to say something, anything that could vindicate his repeated public pledges that I end up in his words 'behind bars,'" Fauci said. When Paul began questioning him, Fauci repeatedly declined to answer, invoking his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. He gave the same response to questions from Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., and Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla. Meanwhile, the hearing briefly descended into a procedural dispute when one of Fauci's attorneys, David Schertler, repeatedly attempted to address the committee without being recognized by the chairman. Paul said Schertler had been instructed not to sit at the witness table with Fauci and was not authorized to participate in the hearing, reports The New York Post. "You will respect these proceedings. You were told not to sit at the table. You insist on sitting at the table, and we told you you would not be recognized. You are not invited here for testimony, sir. You are being disruptive," Paul told Schertler. "Would you behave this way in a courtroom? No, because the judge would put you in jail. I can't do that today. But I can have you escorted from the premises," added Paul. After Schertler continued trying to speak, Paul added, "There's a row behind you, sir. That's where you were told to sit … and now you're disrupting the proceedings." "This is the way Anthony Fauci wants to be remembered: for a lawyer not listening to the rules," Paul continued. "That's the way you want to be remembered, and that's what you're going to do." Paul then directed security to escort Schertler from the hearing room, saying, "Let the record state that Dr. Fauci will still have the advice of the other half a dozen attorneys that he brought along today."

He certainly benefited, but I always suspected it was because too many minorities were starting their own businesses and beginning to build generational wealth that would make them free from the dem plantation. At the very least, those minority owned businesses were a disproportionately large percentage of the victims of the forced closures.

Rand Paul addressed that exact point, saying that people will no longer "trust the science" nor the government, because Fauci has destroyed it. This could be deadly when and if a new, deadlier disease arises, and it will.
I'd like to point out that I made that exact point before the shutdowns even started.

Fauci whined about his "unredacted private diaries" being released.
He was a government employee, creating records on government computers. I guess he slept through the training explaining that that made them government records.
He did use eleven different servers to record his diaries, in an effort to make it impossible to track his diaries, and then deleted the material from the servers.
Too bad servers keep a record of what was stored there.

What choice did he have? If he started admitting to everything he did, they'd find a way to charge him. Regardless, his reputation was demolished.
If he lied, they could charge him now.

He was a government employee, creating records on government computers. I guess he slept through the training explaining that that made them government records.
He did use eleven different servers to record his diaries, in an effort to make it impossible to track his diaries, and then deleted the material from the servers.
Too bad servers keep a record of what was stored there.
It's astonishing that a polymath like Mr. Science didn't consider all the things you just pointed out. I knew them, and I'm not MR. SCIENCE.

Good on Paul for dragging Fauci through the ringer but...
Fauci should be tried in a federal court. Make the court say the only reason he wasn't convicted for creating COVID and intentionally killing people via his policies and the clot shot because of Biden's pardon
And every state and locality should charge him for every COVID/clot shot death. Again even if every case ends because of federal supremacy let that be the argument - "The only reason Fauci isn't in jail is he was protected by Biden and the Democrats"

I think it will be mixed. Red states will be reluctant to listen to the CDC. Many states eliminated what authority their public health departments previously had.
Blue states will use it to clamp down hard. This will further the migration from blue to red, as more voters get red-pilled about what the left truly is.

And dragged in a couple governors and mayors who were very aggressive in their crackdowns, along with their police chiefs, state medical professionals and anyone else who was responsible for what came after. And grilled the shit out them for a couple hours.

If this sequence is not permitted per some Senate hearing rule, abolish the damn rule!

They don't love science enough to become, you know, actual scientists, but they f***ing LOVE science.

Prior to the China virus, US policy was no lockdowns. That changed with the virus with almost no questions asked or taken.
Distinguished medical experts like Scott Atlas were marginalized and then deplatformed for disagreeing with Fauci's policies. That is not normal.

Exactly. Single people experienced extended solitary confinement for the crime of being law abiding.
San Franpsycho said that one morning San Fran authorities were saying no shutdown because of the emotional effect. That same afternoon the directive came to shut everything down. From the same people. Never any explanation of what had changed.
The authorities *knew* what it would do and went ahead.

I had no idea.This sounds like a Penthouse Letters entry.
In diary entries, Fauci reveled in fawning Leftist college students
Similarly, in another entry, he wrote:
Chris and I (with the detail) went for our Sunday walk on the Mall as opposed to the Canal … we ran into groups of students who had just had their graduation ceremony from George Washington University on the Mall. A few recognized me and started squealing and laughing as asking for selfies, which I gave them. Then more and more people gathered around and soon we had the same sort of crowd around me as has happened at AU …
Another entry from June 2022 recounts the “glorious” time Fauci wrote that he had at College of the Holy Cross, which renamed a science building after him.
“The outpouring of love, affection, and admiration on the part of the students and the faculty at Holy Cross was very moving,” he wrote.

That's because they had succeeded in instilling terror, or at least the willingness to burn anyone at the stake for questioning the terror, in their adherents. Remember when they were trying to open things up to mitigate the damage to the economy in the run up to the election and the leftists were all shrieking about it.

Nobody is ever going to convince me that sending money and technology to the CCP to develop bio weapons is business as usual. It often gets lost in the horror of 9/11 that what followed was a series of anthrax or fake anthrax attacks. It was such a concern that the Bush administration completely revamped our bio weapons and defense of bi weapons programs to guard against bio weapons attacks.
And a decade later we are partnering with our biggest geopolitical foe on bio weapons development?

I think it's a reminder of those times. And I think for you more than anything it's a reminder that they could come again. Any time. New guise. Old guise. Or same exact guise. And we will be "in it" all over again.
No, this won't make you feel better, but facing it consciously... that this is how the world is. We dance on a precipice between civilization and total disorder. That is the way it has always been.
HOWEVER... those particular days ARE gone. People are more awake now. We know about the broken ones but you aren't one of them. In fact you see things very clearly and always have. You might not sleep better tonight, but it will settle. This bs is behind us. Yes "they" walk among us, but always have.
For some reason, Trump turned his head to look at a chart about the border (which is in much better shape now). God used that moment to show that He and no one else has this, and to clear Trump's path back to power.
This won't cure your fears of what "could" happen but please know we are in a far better position now. Knowledge is power. Forewarned is forearmed. That is my sincere promise to you.

They could have waited a few weeks and called an all clear and made Joey and Fauci heroes but instead Biden was as maniacal about the virus as Fauci. And they knew they were lying all along.

I think it took time for *biden's staff to consolidate their power. *biden was mentally crippled from the day he and the Democrats stole the election (with an assist from the GOP) and it was they who needed time to get set up.
The covid op gave cover for them. I'm somewhat surprised they didn't prolong it... but the economy was crashing and people were beginning to realize it was nowhere near a bad as the government said it was.
Still, it was a very successful operation into finding how far the Feds could go with getting the public to comply with some seriously asinine mandates.

My grands are very socialized and hauled to restaurants and travel from infancy (8 &5yrs). While I initially protested the daycare at the parish, they have made friends and it's been good for them. Confident kids who have fun.
A stark difference in the sheltered children of friends they know and recently went on a cruise with. Those kids, ages 4yrs and 2yrs are messes, having no social interaction. Partially due to covid. Partially due to their attorney mother who is Puerto Rican and apparently nuts. The father is my son's friend and a nice guy.
They scream if they don't get their way. Are shy with people (except when the 2yr old refuses to stay in his high chair and they think it's cute for him to go to other's tables at dinner). It's not cute when they tantrum in public. Son said never again. They also scream in bed til midnight, even at home. The Scream Cruise.
Vocabulary is limited. A totally different aspect of our grands in every way. I had vague hope that the parents might see the huge difference but apparently they did not and "want to plan another vacation." Not bloody likely.

*************
We all got covid in Big Sky, Montana skiing from the toddler grandson who'd been in daycare (no masking, thank goodness for some sanity for toddlers). It was a cold. His father was the sickest and we all drove home.
We'd all decided that it was not going to stop us from life or travel. Later that year we went to Sun Valley and there was masking for Octoberfest. Except, of course, when you sat to eat as the virus could not touch you then (which was the most retarded rule of all).
Outside we did not mask but saw others doing it and I wanted to point and laugh but am polite. Hiking we saw masks and they would almost fall off trails to avoid us unmasked peasant vectors.
We had fun. I realized early on the dropping dead chy knees people was bs. It was not the Influenza of 1918, thank God. Nor ebola. It was a cold...and I say this being prone to bronchitis.

In '19, I was considering getting out of OR, watching the "by hook or by crook" leftist takeover. I opposed mail-in ballots when it was voted in, and I predicted, verified by '20, that - now "counted" by county employees who's rice bowl was involved - that no bond measure would ever fail. By '20, I was actively looking. Spurred on by the eager adoption of more and more authoritarian covid rules, I pulled the trigger in late '20. Since a significant amount of remodeling was wanted in the new place, it took almost 6 months to fully move. We took.multiple trips between AZ and OR and the contrast was vivid. In OR, masked single drivers were the norm, in small town NE AZ, at its height, less than half of the people were masked outside, or in any venue without a legal requirement, like govt offices. The exception was the Reservations, where they were hit pretty hard,I believe due to a combination of genetic susceptibility and tightly communal living.

Wiki: Curry was "an American painter whose career spanned the years from 1924 until his death. He was noted for his paintings depicting rural life in his home state, Kansas. Along with Thomas Hart Benton and Grant Wood, he was hailed as one of the three great painters of American Regionalism of the first half of the twentieth century." So, only about twenty years of work.
His self-portrait there looks much like George Costanza.

He also wrote the Addams Family theme. I read somewhere that he would come up with the rhythm for a piece first (as in Green Acres's "da-da-da-da-da, BOMP BOMP) and then the melody would come afterwards.
IIRC, Mizzy also sang the Addams theme. It was supposed to be a placeholder voice, but the studio liked his version.

A large chunk of millenials have been convinced if they move to places like Phoenix they will die if the temp increases from 103 to 103.2 due to climate change. Or if the ocean levels rise by 0.1 inches they will drown if they live on the coast.
They really believe this shit.
You’re welcome.

All the Dems are jerking off over polls showing him in the lead.
Like one, has him at 45 and Paxton at 40.
Sure, sure--15% of Texas voters are undecided/third party.
And that's before we get to the "who" behind the poll.
Hint: That 45% is his ceiling, not his floor.

Me too. But oddly, at the time (I would have been about 5-10) my liking of the shows was reversed. A-Team over Magnum.
But Magnum has layers. As a kid, he was 'vague former military guy.' When I rewatched it as an adult, it was odd. He was a SEAL before the explosion of SEAL awareness. Counter-intelligence. All of a sudden you realize the goofy guy with the rubber chicken was a badass motherfucker.

Summary of John Steuart Curry
During the Great Depression, John Steuart Curry devoted himself to painting sincere portrayals of the American heartland. At a time when critics were calling for an American vernacular art and the discovery of a usable past, Curry and other Regionalist artists headed the call to paint rural and small town America. These often idealized, even nostalgic, depictions of community, religious life, and indomitable work ethic aimed to provide solace to a populace suffering the effects of a financial disaster and widespread drought.
Recognized during his own time, along with Thomas Hart Benton and Grant Wood, Curry painted easel paintings as well as murals that decorated various government buildings. Unfortunately his more traditional style of painting did not sustain his reputation after his death, and Curry remains an often overlooked American painter.
I'd pass hanging today's art selection. It's nice but MEH, in my humble unartistic view.
Thanks.

Truthfully, his family never knew about is indiscretions until after he was murdered. And yes, he was murdered in a hotel room by likely the significant other of the woman he was filming at the time.

Crane was bludgeoned with a tripod he was supposedly using at the time.
Bob Crane, the actor best known for Hogan's Heroes, was found bludgeoned to death in his Scottsdale, Arizona, apartment on June 29, 1978. His friend John Henry Carpenter was tried for the murder in 1994 but was acquitted, and the case remains officially unsolved.

The Morning Report — 7/ 30 /26
As I currently watch the Dr. Fauci’stein hearings, I cannot help but think that this could be one of the largest crimes of humanity in history.All too true, sir. given the corruption of our courts and the horribly effective propaganda machine of the media, Fauci will likely exit stage left, at least until another Democrat is elected or is otherwise installed into the White House as happened in 2020 and he will be brought back under much pomp and circumstance.
I know that’s a long, far out analysis, but the breadth of outright lying by Dr. Fauci’stein, his funding of gain of function research outside the country, and then the cover up to shut down the world priming the U.S. CDC and NIH to be put under U.N. WHO control, thus surpassing our own Constitution.
Fauci’stein’s personality, mental make-up, ability to outright lie to the world, let alone the American people and to become some kind of Hero of Science deliberately resulting in the death of millions. The murderer’s at the Nuremberg Trials I feel were more truthful than Dr. Fauci’stein.
I don’t know where this leaves us, but a known mass killer will surely walk free and receive accolades and monetary awards for being one the Globalist’s flying monkey’s.
What a cowardly and shameful final chapter for Dr. Anthony Fauci, who pleaded the Fifth 111 times in the Senate Wednesday even though he has a pre-emptive presidential pardon that gives him immunity from prosecution. In the history of Congress, only a couple of mob bosses have invoked the privilege more. “On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer, based upon my rights, under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution,” the Machiavellian career bureaucrat said over and over in the nearly three-hour hearing before the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. But Fauci’s silence rendered him a villain more powerfully than his usual sly deceptions. Shameful, too, were the Democrats and their media handmaidens who continue to run cover for Fauci, singing his praises, and denying their flock the truth about a man who filled his pandemic diary with self-praise and celebrity worship while remaining callously aloof from the human suffering he had caused. . . What a cowardly and shameful final chapter for Dr. Anthony Fauci, who pleaded the Fifth 111 times in the Senate Wednesday even though he has a pre-emptive presidential pardon that gives him immunity from prosecution.If there were any true justice in this world, his final chapter would end with him strapped into a gurney in the death house of a federal prison, and a doctor declaring him dead after being given a lethal injection. Alas, this is America 2026 and as we all know too well, real justice from a judicial system that has been thoroughly corrupted as a weapon of political repression against any opponent of Leftism/Socialism/Globalism and the Democrat agenda is nigh impossible to get. What the future holds in that regard, whether we see a reversal of that in our lifetimes or at least the lifetime of those who have much of their lives in front of them is to be seen.
Elsewhere we have the ramping up of operations and the President's rhetoric against the Iranian regime. Well, you don't have to be Victor Davis Hanson to see this, as I've been screaming this the whole time, but he's more eloquent than I am for sure.
We know the tired Iranian strategy by now. We might call it “theocratic rope-a-dope.” For the theocrats and their terrorist proxies, survival means outlasting Trump, waiting for the next cash-laden Democrat administration, and using “moderates” to play good cop while haggling away months. The mullahs and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps feign indifference even as their half-century, half-trillion-dollar investments in what is now essentially a vaporized military-industrial-nuclear complex continue to be destroyed. The war has finally revealed the full extent of Iran’s vast conventional arsenal, nuclear program, and missile and drone industry.
It's why after reading this item, I thought something stinks to high Heaven.
The ship that Ukraine struck in the Caspian Sea on Saturday [July 25] contained components for drones and missiles on their way to Iran, Ukrainian Ambassador to Israel Yevgen Korniychuk said in an interview with N12 on Sunday. Iran claimed the ship was carrying civilian goods when it was attacked by Ukraine and accused Ukraine of seeking to expand the Russia-Ukraine war….This stinks because yes for sure the Russians are in bed with the Iranians but also because it provides a mighty convenient excuse for those who have President Trump's ear to give military aid and assistance to Ukraine , which thankfully he has been loathe to do so far. And worse than that with the situation with the Mullahs at an impasse, this item hints at potential American boots on the ground, which would be an unmitigated disaster for all the reasons I and others here and elsewhere have shrieked since the beginning.
The United States and Israel are considering some form of a land blockade to crank up the economic pressure on Iran as the war against the Islamic Republic enters its sixth month, the Washington Free Beacon can report. The land blockade would complement the sea blockade that's been in effect for some time. "What if you just block the land? Suppose Iran can't bring anything in, cannot take anything out," a senior Israeli official told the Free Beacon—raising one possibility the two countries have been discussing.Great, Ho Chi Minh Trail 2, let's drag in the Chi-Coms boogaloo!

If the congressmen are trying to shame him they might as well give it up -- I don't think the guy has a conscience that works anymore. It's been seared, or sold.
The only justice that is fitting for him is the one that the Almighty God will declare, and that is forever. And ever.
No matter what our "justice" system could do to him, it would never be enough for the crimes against humanity he perpetrated.
And every one of those crimes were not just against the people here, but against God Himself.

The only point of hearings like these is to let people pretend they're doing something because they never will, and give some very mild catharsis to the people who watch them.
There's a paper trail a mile long on this sonofabitch. If the feds wanted him, they could gin up some pretext to hook his desiccated old ass up on some process crime and see to it he dies in jail. They rig up the courts whenever it suits them, and this doesn't suit them, because it risks too much coming out about too many people if they do.
So we get this instead. The Great American Shell Game.

On my way back from visiting NotSoThoreau Tuesday, the widow in the passenger seat put her hand on my right front pocket, right over my wallet. For 10 seconds.
Not concerned ... yet.
NotSoThoreau is good people. I delivered hugs from a few Morons, and of course, one for myself.

China Hits U.S., Europe With New Rare Earths Export Controls
Those in Gov't that impeded our own critical mineral mining efforts are probably beholden to China and other enemies, otherwise ANYBODY WITH A BRAIN would know that resources critical to the nation and its military ALWAYS need sources that preferably belong to us or at least aren't in enemy territory. That goes for oil especially, as a military cannot run without food or fuel...

Posted by: Lady in Black at July 30, 2026 07:35 AM (qBdHI)
I personally think Rand Paul has a grudge. Nobody else in Congress seems as outraged as him. The entire thing was scripted, following the "failure theater" model. They all knew what was going to happen, Fauci included.
Everyone woke up this morning and by 10AM will have moved on to the next crisis theater.
Had anyone been serious about all this they'd have yanked in Brix, the CEO's of Big Pharma that crafted the vaccines, the governors and mayors who ruthlessly pushed various mandates and so on.
But they didn't. They focused on Fauci. He's not the only person guilty of foisting death on Americans.

To be honest, I’ve forgotten why I’m annoyed with Collins and have him placed in the “bad guy” column, but it has something to do with him involved in a campaign (along with Fauci) to trash other scientists who wouldn’t go along with the prevailing narrative like Jay Bhattacharya… they intentionally tried to crush the Great Barrington Declaration

Expect the Senate to vote on censuring Fauci for not testifying. All the Rs plus Fetterman will vote For. The D senators will vote No and be on the record as protecting Fauci. Then the fun begins when more revelations come out and Trump uses it in the run-up to November.

Ukraine Hits Iranian Ship Delivering Russian War Materiel to Iran (Yeah, Putin's no angel, but then again Zelensky is a grifting liar himself. I smell a rat - jjs)
The reason I believe that the story is essentially true is that the Iranian leadership is pissed about it, and have been talking about it a lot. It’s clear they lost something on that ship that they desperately wanted, and it wasn’t baby blankets and condensed milk.
There was also a credible report yesterday that China is shipping in hundreds of shoulder fired missiles by a land route. Trump was even asked about it, and he only said “Well I’ll be very disappointed if I find out that Xi was lying to me when he they’d never do this.”

My belief is that this was always bigger than just Fauci. There are too many details around this situation for it to be just one bureaucrat running the US.
Why was Fauci being paid nearly $500k/year, by far the highest paid government employee including POTUS?
Why was he allowed to share potential deadly bio weapons tech with the CCP?
Why did the intel community help him cover up the source of the outbreak?
Fauci is an evil little shit who has been doing this kind of stuff since AIDS where he also made money partnering with drug companies. Not surprising that the money grubbing Clintons focused on selling AIDS drugs in the 3rd world when Hillary was running State and USAID.
I don't believe for a second this was all the doing of just one evil shit, he had help.

Good question - to answer it specifically, “The pardon power is established in Article II, Section 2, Clause 1 of the Constitution, which states that the president “shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment”
This wording is unfortunately very broad. “The Supreme Court has recognized the pardon power as extremely broad. In Ex parte Garland (1867), the Court described it as “unlimited” except in impeachment cases, applying to every federal offense and exercisable before, during, or after legal proceedings.”
Also, Congress cannot restrict or limit this power.
It would provably take a years long case before SCOTUS to challenge this, and Roberts will just say “it’s a tax!”

The reason why Fauci is so smug is that putting him on trial risks some of the US most dirty laundry. That is the intel community misusing the statute of threat reduction.
"The Nunn–Lugar Cooperative Threat Reduction (CTR) program, established in 1991 by Senators Sam Nunn and Richard Lugar, was created to secure and dismantle weapons of mass destruction (WMD) in the former Soviet Union following its collapse. The initiative addressed the urgent risk that 30,000 nuclear weapons, chemical agents, and biological research could fall into the hands of unstable regimes or terrorists.
Key achievements include:
Scientist Employment: Provided civilian jobs for over 22,000 former WMD scientists to prevent proliferation expertise from leaking.
Chemical/Biological: Secured sites and destroyed thousands of tons of chemical agents and secured biological laboratories across multiple continents.
Originally limited to the former Soviet Union, the program's scope expanded in 2008 to address global WMD proliferation threats, shifting focus toward capacity building, border security, and biological threat reduction in countries worldwide."
Posted by: whig at July 30, 2026 08:52 AM (E4rtv)
It's not a rumor that we were funding bio labs in Ukraine, Victoria Nuland admitted it in front of Congress. Sometimes hearings produce gems.
And Hunter Biden's dogshit investment company that took money from the CCP was invested in a company called Metabiota that had federal government contracts to track virus spreads in two countries, China and Ukraine.
Before the Ukraine war started, Putin invaded Kazakstan, where Hunter was getting paid along with John Kerry's daughter, and publicly said the reason he was doing it was to stop another "western color revolution" in a former Soviet satellite. We were funding a massive bio lab there, too.
Making Fauci and untouchable fall guy is convenient. He's a loathsome POS that has gotten filthy rich off human and animal suffering. But he was not working alone.

If you notice the dates of Tony's pardon, from 2014-2024, what sticks out is 2014--Ukraine and the fall of the Russian influenced regime. One of the sites for biological research are the former Soviet labs in Kharkov or Kharkiv depending on RUS/UKR spelling. There were probably more dirty labs in Ukraine.
And the 2008 date is important because that is the date when the US decided to expand this project to the whole world--including China no doubt.

Insider trading might or might not be other charges as Pfizer's Bourla (another evil sob) was feeding Tony that information. Again, pardon and statute of limitations.
But the one most likely to stick is if Fraudci destroyed or even attempted to destroy government records AFTER his pardon. There he runs into the so called Honest Services and obstruction of justice inquiries. Neither pardon nor statute of limitations affect these.
The reason why Tony Fraudci thinks he is protected is his dirty US top secret kompromat on the US doing shit it should never be doing, especially in foreign labs. But, the mundane obstruction and honest services trials don't risk that dirty laundry and is why that will most probably be the direction of any charges--if ever made. Same for contempt of Congress.

Possibly. But an equally possible outcome is it escaped from Plum Island.
If you look at a map of the area you will see Lyme sits on a river that leads right to the sound and directly toward Plum Island. It's a very popular cruising and fishing area.
A guy I used to race with and his daughter both got Lyme Disease from tick bites on Fisher's Island which is right in that same area. Some of us who grew up on the water around here have always believed Plum was the source, but we tend to be whacky conspiracy theorists. It probably came from a bat getting busy with a pangolin in a Lyme wet market.

The problem with the intel community is that it is easy for people with malicious intent to hide behind national security to do all sorts of vile things and rely on the system to protect them if it comes out they did it.
Made men Mafiosi and the whole idea excites certain sociopathic (doesn't care about others) and psychopathic (enjoys vile things hurting others) to do things under the veil of secrecy that should never be done.
Fraudci is one of those psychopaths from even a brief look at his record and his 'diary'. But he had others in his network that are not covered by pardons etc.
FWIW, I was in grad school where the university had direct ties to the Nunn Lugar setup and provide a fair number of graduates to that work. One of which I know currently works at the CIA.

Great article at the Daily Wire.
" Leftists in various jurisdictions — including Madison, Wisconsin, where Corey Ruiz was killed — decided to get rid of bodycams, on the basis that bodycams are actually, it turns out, racist. They were too helpful to the police and prosecutors. They put too many black criminals in prison."
"But now that Corey Ruiz was killed, and they’re convinced he was shot by the police in cold blood, suddenly these people have seen the light. Now all the black activists and Leftist white women are determined to bring bodycams back."
"So if you’re following along at home: first the activists demanded bodycams. Then, after their demands were met, they decided that actually they don’t want bodycams. And now they’ve determined that actually they do want bodycams."

Yes, other countries can charge Tony as the pardon does nothing to protect him directly from that. Where it becomes a sticky wicket is whether an extradition to another country for crimes becomes entangled in a pardon issue for the US court hearing the case.
There might be some caselaw somewhere even from Britain if no US caselaw can be found but I haven't had Westlaw since retirement and don't have access to the law review databases that I used to have.

This is sort of a natural aspect of leftist in play.
Why did they demand bodycams originally? Well their narrative told them they would find most cops are racist killbots and this would prove it. So they rolled them out and found out while there were some bad cops in most cases the cams proved the cops were acting reasonably and the people they were arresting where the ones out of control.
Now to a rational mind this should cause you to rethink your hypothesis about rampant structural racism in policing. But that's not how leftists work. The narrative is right the facts are wrong, bigoted and racist so obviously you need to get rid of the cameras and then you can forget about what they show.
Which again takes them back to the narrative that the cops are racist killbots. So obviously if they get this stuff on camera now no one will be able to deny the narrative.
It is insane to us, but makes perfect sense to them...

I am sure that the Intel Community geniuses figured that we could get as much info on the capabilities of the Chicoms as they could get from the US. And China's public health is pretty much devoid of any ethics like our intel community is. So the IC figured gain of function research over there risked the least in blowback if it gets out. They probably already have cover stories developed as they are sneaky shits.
And China has long been the early warning system of influenza outbreaks across the globe. Both Brits and US used to use Hong Kong before 1999 as the health intelligence post on influenza strains for the next year.

It is more the fact that Fraudci will claim qualified immunity from prosecution and rely on the supremacy clause to forestall state court action.
The rationale would be that Fraudci was a duly appointed federal officer doing his job under statutes made by Congress and that any state prosecuting him would run afoul of violating the supremacy clause. Even if that was circumvented somehow, then Fraudci will fall back on qualified immunity for his actions arguing that his discretionary powers for his agency allowed him to do as he did without second guessing from state authorities.

Lyme disease is strictly a zoonotic infection becoming more frequent as the suburbs move into the woods previously de-forested during 18th and 19th century farming, and the large increase in near-suburban whitetail deer.
Interestingly, the most common hotspots of infection are near the terminal moraines of the last glaciation.
Any assertions regarding bioweapons research are utter nonsense.

The entire Nat Sec community was in rebellion at the top levels up to and including treason, sedition, and extensive violations of Trump's constitutional powers and his personal rights as a citizen.
I think the entire CIA should be disbanded, the active components turned over to Military Intelligence and the analytical side (to be shrunk enormously) returned to State Department as it was before the CIA was created.

In the past, I've known sub agencies of various US Departments take on the monitoring of huge programs involving safety & health, lots of money, etc. and in every case they fell down. While lower graded employees may have done required follow-up field work or audits & wrote decent reports of findings in a timely manner, they lacked headquarter's support. Every accident, death, press worthy incident occurring during a noteworthy open contract, a corporate monitoring program, etc. was dumped back to the lowest possible level for investigation and 'action deemed appropriate' and a new file or case or contract opened.
PoliticoPro, April 2026, in part, "A former senior official at the National Institutes of Health has been indicted on obstruction of justice and conspiracy charges for allegedly concealing federal records about research into viruses like the one that caused the Covid pandemic."
A head or two might roll, but little will changes. Agency lawyers know to keep away from controversy and not put anything in writing. Heads of agencies know that, too.

- The United States government just banned Roombas. (The Verge)
Well, it didn't, and wouldn't have at all if it hadn't previously blocked the acquisition of US company iRobot by US company Amazon leaving the market to Chinese competitors. And they're only being blocked over well-founded fears of being used for surveillance just like every other thing in our lives these days with more functional purpose than a Chia Pet.
If you like your Roomba you can keep your Roomba, and existing models of Roomba can continue to be imported, but new models of Roomba - and of any other imported robot - will need to be certified.
Tech News
- Why would the US government consider robots to be a security ris-
U.S. company Satyress is developing threehalves, a centaur-style robot designed for dangerous environments such as wildfires, rubble searches, toxic areas and confined spaces. The system combines a humanoid upper body with a quadruped mobility platform. #USA #Robotics #UGV #AI pic.twitter.com/ViPprQ1lrZ

Got it. Drone strikes it is. - Huawei's new MateBook Pro S weighs just 798 grams, which is vanishingly light for a 14" model. (Notebook Check)
Only problem is that it runs an in-house Kirin XE90 Arm CPU, which has decent multi-threaded performance thanks to its 10 dual-thread cores, but pretty lousy single-threaded performance. Expect performance like a 2017-era laptop in that regard.
- Speaking of which, I just realised that the new Minisforum NAB9S has a 13900HK CPU rather than a 13900HX. So while it is a current model that takes DDR4 SODIMMs (of which I have an abundance) and is a fair bit faster than my existing hardware that uses that memory, it is also a fair bit slower than the full HX model.
It's also relatively inexpensive because it's available as a barebones model, and has a 2.5" bay for a SATA SSD if I should happen to find where mine have gone.
- How to run Gemma 26B on an 8GB Apple Silicon system. (GitHub)
Gemma 26B requires 52GB of VRAM to run as it ships with 16-bit values. The process squimshes it down to 4-bit quantisation and then caches the core (using about 2GB of RAM in total) and streams the rest from SSD.
Which is great because while you can certainly run Gemma 26B-A4B (4-bit quantised) on a 16GB graphics card without hacks, this sort of trick would allow you to run some 200B parameter models on the same hardware - the scale where AI models stop being stupid and useless.
- And if you have an Acemagic F9A, 1.6T parameters. (WCCFTech)
You'd want a fast SSD for that, though, because that would be a lot of data to fling about.

From last thread, my mind is still boggling at the genius of Isaac Newton, reading on the history of Principia. This I'm ashamed I didn't know.
Newton figured out the earth was an oblate spheroid due to rotation, and thus had a "spare tire" mass distribution. He then realized the tidal effects of his inverse square law. And them promptly derived and explained precession of the equinoxes, and the tides on earth.
Now, he had it figured out, but made some errors in those calculations, which were later corrected for the true expressions. But he figured out how tidal forces would torque the earth's axis and slosh the oceans around.

We used to have two. One for the carpets and one for the kitchen floor. I had a cat who was a very timid thing and she walked into the living room. The Roomba zeroed in on her and gave chase. She ran to the kitchen, jumped the baby gate we had in place and saw the second one coming for her. Thankfully we had a cat tree so she managed to get to safety.

Some of Newtons notations are still used, but more importantly, the primary application of calculus is Newtons and not Leibniz.

Wednesday Night ONT - July 29, 2026 [TRex]
Good evening Horde. The time has come for mid-week shenanigans of the overnight variety. The bar is open and (mostly) re-stocked. No Dr. Pepper. Sorry. But each patron gets a free restroom token as compensation.
Welcome to the Wednesday night ONT which means another edition of random overnight fun and games. Pull up a chair and join the fun. Good will offerings of amusing puns are encouraged. Pants are optional. Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors. If you're a troll, go away. This is a Tucker, Candace, Megyn, and Bill Kristol free zone. Everyone probably needs a cleanse from Fifth Amendment Fauci, so let's stipulate that he is an evil, narcissistic fraud and avoid letting his existence burn any more of our brain cells.
Seasoned American voice from the back of the group: "Ahem. We left it standing because it was a visible way point into Germany and back home for our bombers. It was not a miracle." If you visit, say hello the Three Wise Men. They are reportedly resting at room temperature in a gold box behind the altar.
Multiple current and former members of the McBee Police Department turned themselves in to agents with the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) on Monday morning in Chesterfield County. One person who did not surrender Monday was former Officer Jerriell Wright. Wright contacted Queen City News Chief Investigative Reporter Jody Barr in December 2024, just three months after he was shot at 62 times in an ambush following a Sept. 19, 2024, traffic stop in town. Wright provided months of text messages between himself, former Lt. Greg Block, and McBee Mayor Glenn Odom - messages that Wright said provided evidence that the mayor and former McBee Police Chief Mike Irvin implemented a 10 tickets per shift quota in the one-stoplight town.
Wright's messages also showed the mayor was critical of Block's lack of ticket production. To satisfy the mayor, Wright said McBee Town Councilman Robbie Liles and current MPD Chief Timmy Knight ordered him to help Block by taking time out of his shift to write tickets using Block's login credentials to access the state's computerized electronic ticketing system. Wright had text messages to underpin a lot of what he alleged happened. His months of text chains with the mayor showed Glenn Odom's lust for traffic tickets and the $440 fine variety, according to Wright. The mayor, he said, was never satisfied, no matter how high his daily ticket totals climbed.
"Basically, he was saying I ran a red light, which I never passed through the red light. He said I was speeding... I never passed through the intersection," Jackson told me in a March 2026 interview at his jobsite in Longs, S.C. I showed Jackson the same photographs I showed every other person we contacted. "I was explaining to him I never passed to the light. And he said, I'm not going to argue with you. I can impound your vehicle and take you into custody and stuff. So, I just let it be and kind of went on and took the tickets and paid the tickets," Jackson said.Read the full bizarre story here. Bastards.
Correspondence can be sent to moronhobbies at protonmail dot com where it will be promptly be ignored on grounds of Fifth Amendment privilege. Are you lurking ????

I like Ella. Pretty girl. Good song. She talks like me.
Accent is not as bad now but I used to have people stare at me like I was speaking a foreign language out West. Which was weird and I had to learn how to say my one syllable name correctly vs two syllables. Said it fast like I was chy knee. I'd be thinking, "Do I have something in my teeth? Why are they looking like that at me." I reached a point where I didn't care.
In a nutrition class in early nursing school regional food was mentioned. In the South, hominy represented and all heads turned to me. I informed them regally I had never had hominy (the puffy kind), while completely forgetting that that's where grits come from.
Possibly because I did not cook much at all. And the one time I did for a date I blew up the oven.

I'm a thoroughly midwestern Michigander. My mother was born in NYC, but my father's family has been in Ohiah since it was settled.
My wife is from Appalachia. Talk about a culture shock. All my kids have a bit of a twang, some more than others. My wife passes for local, unless she gets pissed and then it's lights out. Full on losing her religion.

Not McBee, but a buddy of mine got a ticket in Deland, FL which apparently was also a famous ticket trap.
It was like 6:30am and I was in the office while he was in FL doing a delivery for us. We were on the phone going over the day's business plan, and all of a sudden he said: "Why is that guy waving at me?"
He got pulled over by a police officer ON FOOT....for going 21mph in a 15. It was a spendy mistake.

People are guilty to the tune of x amount in fines.
That right there is your quota.
“Nobody likes me!” The cops whine. Well, you do nothing about that. Well, except that whistleblower mentioned in the story. He’s one of the good guys. But how many other cops played go along to get along?
If you had more cops throwing the BS flag every so often, you’d find people in the country would be more receptive to the cops.

First day, we stopped at some diner, and were going about our business when I realized a hush had descended across the whole place. Then it hit me, they were all listening to my mother and me talk. We were specimens.
The waitress kept coming over and asking me something, and finally just gushed "I love to hear you talk!"
I just went with it and had fun.

******************
Ian Anderson liked his codpiece and tights. I don't believe I have seen others in this outfit, so Morons should take notes for Halloween or the MoMe. His was fancy.
Our only interaction during this tour in the summer of 1975 was him glaring at me after he said something to the bass player. He came over to him, as he missed a cue or something looking at me, then shot angry lasers at me and pointed with his flute.
I did nothing to deserve this, standing on a chair in row 5 and right in the bass player's path. (He's the guy in the goofy zebra suit.) It was not like I flashed him or did anything but stand there.
The acoustic player met his future bride in the Jackson, MS airport gift shop. He said they could not undertand each other's English and she'd never heard of the band.
Wonderful concert, however. Sounded great live, very entertaining, as many of the bands in the mid-70's to '80's did. Great time! I still wish I had gone to the after party! Flew back to school out West the next day.

What you would or should find fascinating is when you hear British people imitating "Americans", they sound like they're imitating southerners - but it's often not southerners they're imitating at all. It's how twang-less "American" sounds to their proper English ear.
In other words the accent has drifted in a particular direction toward that twang. In yet other words, that is to say *you* have a twang, you just don't know it.

U.S. military:
"At 10 p.m. ET on July 29, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces successfully completed a heavy wave of strikes against Iran in response to yesterday's attempted missile attacks on U.S. forces.
CENTCOM assets struck dozens of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) targets in Iran, including military command centers, missile and drone facilities, coastal surveillance and defense sites, and maritime capabilities. The strikes aimed to further diminish threats posed by Iran and its proxies to American forces, commercial shipping, and neighboring Gulf countries.
On July 28, IRGC forces launched multiple ballistic missiles from Iran in an attempted surprise attack on U.S. forces based in the Middle East. All Iranian missiles were successfully intercepted

My CA19-9 numbers are staying steady, well below what is considered the threshold for active disease. Had to get an iron infusion today, which I was not expecting, but that's okay - we leave on Sunday for 10 days to visit the grandsons, so the extra energy will help!
Unfortunately, the protocol with the pump includes prednisone (which they say should be metabolized quickly without affecting the rest of the body), and I have gained back 40 of the 100 pounds that I had lost since going on Mounjaro in 2022. I look like I have swallowed a basketball....😭😭😭

It's axiomatic that the British find Southern accents easier than midwestern ones and the reason is that the vowels are so inconsistent. Midwesterners have a strong Germanic influence but it is uneven. I find it very easy to slide into a Southern accent and when I was in the Army, I picked it up without thinking about it, much to the amusement of my girlfiend (the future Mrs. Lloyd).
Southerners have the most delightful turns of phrase, quite the contrast with the more Germanic directness of Northerners.

Have told this one. Did not know to light the pilot light, being from an electric home and not cooking or paying attention. I was heating bread for my chicken cacciatore, one of the few meals I could cook as my grad school male roommates made me learn the year prior.
The oven door flew open with a BANG, singed my long hair on one side. I went deaf, in shock, smelled burning hair. I had a hematoma on my thigh that I did't notice til later that night from the door.
The college guy asked wth was that? I was lip reading at this point,frozen with wooden spoon. He turned all the gas off and gave me a beer. We abandoned the meal as asbestos fell into it from the ceiling of post WWII apt. Sat in silence on the sofa for an hour and he left. I assume he said goodbye. I saw him years later after we married others at a hockey game and he waved and smiled at me.
I did not cook for my husband til we married, playing it safe.

Most Hollywood actors can't do a Southern accent for shit. It's not real, just Hollywood sounding like what they think it's supposed to sound like.
Brit actors can indeed do them well. One Brit actress was on Letterman or one of them back in the '90s or so. Host asked her to "do a Southern accent".
She looked puzzled and said, "which one?" Which produced puzzlement from the host. She went through and flawlessly did quite a few different ones.

Much as I love "Justified," many of the American actors did the Savannah lilt, rather than anything that came close to the Kentucky sound. Southern accents are not all about sounding like Foghorn Leghorn or Scarlett O'Hara.

Long Island husband now says he's fixin' to do stuff. He's Southern at heart and loves my family.
My accent gets worse if I am on the phone with my mother, or home, or have had more than two glasses of wine or drinkies.
Culture shock was his family coming to our garden wedding in MS from the NE. Plus they were Catholic and my family Presbyterian. Added to the stress for me for the wedding and my voice was a few octaves higher than normal when we said our vows (I was shocked over my voice and my eyes got big). Otherwise it all was wonderful and a beautiful day. No civil or religious wars.
We did have a deal that the wedding kiss would be a little peck and done. He decided otherwise and I was not happy. I could hear my father snickering behind us as my groom laid one on me.

There is an accent map of the US that's quite interesting. Big then you can zoom in on.
There was a linguist who spoke at Furman one time many moons ago, and my mother went to hear him with some of her friends. He was a quite cunning linguist, and could identify were you born within miles (resolution decreasing as you went west, though). Or, at least where you first learned to speak.
They'd try to fool with a put-on accent, which he'd see right through, and correctly identify their real accent through the botched fake accent.

My one cousin came up from NOLA for college and my Daddy would laugh that the dorm boys called him a "coonass." That was new to me.

To be fair, it was mostly filmed in California. I can't blame the producers for accents being imperfect because the show overall was great.

Thanks! He, at least, did not run out the door, but turned off the gas and removed me from the galley kitchen of that ghetto apt. I'm sure he was deaf, too. It was LOUD.
I think if I had been bending over it would have been lights out based on the hematoma on my thigh I found later. I did not feel that pain at all from the adrenaline for hours.
It was a fourplex. The college girl I knew two doors down asked me the next day if I "felt the earthquake." I told her that was just me trying to cook.

When we became Catholic my wife's southern kin were mortified. I was already on thin ice as a Yankee Carpet Bagger who stole her away, but that was the last straw.
Then her grandfather died. He was a WW II vet. As soon as I heard about it, I contacted the funeral home about his benefits, and of course the family had done nothing, so I gave direction about how to get the paperwork.
We drove down and at the viewing I was treated with cold hostility. The next day they held the burial and I dutifully put on my dress uniform and played "Taps" over his grave, and suddenly I was a member of the family in good standing.

What the hell was the resolution on that, 320 X 140?
I worked with a guy back in the 70s who had worked as a cat handler at the San Diego Wild Animal Park, and had moonlighted with the people who owned that cougar. He had tales.
The cat's name was Chauncy, and he was a ham and a prima donna. He would only do one take. They could rehearse him multiple times, but when he saw the camera, once through and that was it. He said the cat was a dream to work with, very seldom got pissy, and would act, mainly, like a big, loveable housecat, but... He said, once, the cat was laying down, sort of napping, and some gofer came over to the owners to deliver a message. He stood right in front of the cat's nose and started talking really fast and loud. That pissed off the cat, who the reached out a paw and whacked the guys legs out from under him. The guy goes on his ass and looks up at the cat, standing and staring at him. Piddled in his pants scrambling backwards.

So Sunday morning, we’re cooking eggs and pancakes on top of this huge old iron stove. One of the younger kids flipped the oven handle on, not knowing what it was. I was on the other side of the room and looked over just as there was a huge bang, all the doors flew open, and this sheet of flame came out of that oven and rose until it kissed the ceiling. Much wailing and upsetness followed, although us older boys thought it was pretty cool.
The adult leaders had to do some fancy explaining as to why so many of the boys came back with their eyebrows badly singed.

Accent variation is declining. Mobility and mass communication are just pushing us all toward some mongrel mess.
For example, take SC here. Here in the Upstate, the NE corner, from that accent map, you'll see we're in the broad "inland South" part, while the rest of the state was in the "lowland South". A lot of r-dropping there.
But that r dropping is rapidly dying out in modern times.

My father adored my groom. They bonded over mocking me within 4hrs. I am his only daughter and they did not meet til 4 days before the wedding. My Marine father also never met any of the very few boys who took me to dances or concerts in HS and college. He told me he figured I could take care of myself decades later.
I became Catholic this past March on our 47th anniversary. I am not telling my 95yr old mother.
He had converted to PCA within 2yrs...his choice. Returned to Catholicism and I gradually did as well within a year (one son and family are now).
We had our vows convalidated because his uncle, a monseigneur from NYC, did not sign something. He had a prayer and my parents pastor said the vows in the garden wedding.
So I've been married twice to the same guy! He still likes me!

You'll notice two enclaves there. Charleston and Savannah. And that's because they were port towns and got a lot of British influence longer than the rest.
Unfortunately that unique Charleston accent is also dying out, and merging with the rest. There've been efforts to preserve it for posterity on audio tapes. The folks who actually speak the original unique Charleston accent are in their 80s and 90s now. Once they're gone, that accent will be gone too.

Most Hollywood actors can't do a Southern accent for shit. It's not real, just Hollywood sounding like what they think it's supposed to sound like.
Brit actors can indeed do them well. One Brit actress was on Letterman or one of them back in the '90s or so. Host asked her to "do a Southern accent".
She looked puzzled and said, "which one?" Which produced puzzlement from the host. She went through and flawlessly did quite a few different ones.

Back in high school, I had a job for awhile, as a "soda jerk" in a drugstore. The fountain drinks were mixed at the spigot. A "coke" was Coca-Cola syrup, mixed with soda water. You could request, for an additional nickle above the standard price of a dime, the addition of other flavoring to the 12 oz glass. Vanilla and cherry syrup that were used for Sundaes were the standards - a vanilla coke or a cherry coke were not unusual requests.
Dr Pepper is a cherry coke, using very, very artificial "cherry" syrup.

I believe what we all have is a drawl. I used to read British stories in which Americans were "drawling," and I didn't get it -- UNTIL I worked among a bunch of Brits in a newsroom. I could barely understand them at times because of the way they clipped their vowels. I realized, I rely on vowel sounds for listening comprehension. When every vowel gets cut off before you give it a chance, it limits comprehension.
I explained to one of the Brits that he needed to drawl his vowels, properly, like an American. But he didn't take my instruction.

Some phrases came from my son, who had an odd grasp of English as a child. We still use "nakkims" at the dinner table, and of course there are "callerpiters" in the garden, and if you say "toot toot" the answer is "butter!" That one is from a song with a lot more words than that, but those are the only ones that got through.
Potatoes, particularly baked potatoes, are known as "mantatoes," and of course you can eat them with your hands when camping.

American accents are mostly memories of various regional English dialects.

And I wonder about the UK and the same topic. About 10 years ago we went to the first Blue Angels show of the season in early March out in El Centro, as we did for years. Back then one of the nice features of that small event were the NATO aircraft and crews that you rarely see at airshows. There because of the training ranges they use in AZ and NM.
There were two British Apache helicopters. We talked with a pilot of one - clean nice Oxbridge English. Then we talked to his crew chief. I got about 25% of what he said, the wife (non-native English speaker) got nothing. Some very strong regional/class accent I'd never heard. So there appear to still be pockets surviving.

One, most of their "solutions" come down to mass extermination or forced/secret sterilization
Two, they hate blacks, thinks spanish people are dirty, muslims are backward inbreds, and that women are easily lead social climbing whores
Three they think everybody else is dumb. Everybody, not just people who disagree.
Note again I said leftists, not leftards. Leftards (useful idiots) are slightly more diverse.

I read somewhere that when transplants 'lose' their accent, they're speaking through the musical center of the brain, essentially 'singing' their words in a way. Which is why it comes roaring back under strong emotion: they're just speaking through the language center, which never changed.
I think there's commonly a connection between stand-up comics and musical ability, for that reason. Even when they're not mimicking accents, a lot of what they do is performing a specific attitude or feeling, and a text-to-speech program would not get the same effect at all. So I think it's more like birdsong than lecture.

Leftism of the kind you describe is a warped and wicked form of religious belief, and can only really be understood in those terms. Just like Stalinists, the only true Duty they recognize is to always display Loyalty to the Party.

I think there's commonly a connection between stand-up comics and musical ability, for that reason. Even when they're not mimicking accents, a lot of what they do is performing a specific attitude or feeling, and a text-to-speech program would not get the same effect at all. So I think it's more like birdsong than lecture.

*pulls over soapbox*
"math" vs "maths". Punchline first: that " s" is an abomination.
The word mathematic is an adjective.
The word mathematics is a noun.
The word math is an abbreviation of mathematics, abbreviated by eliminating everything after the "h". You don't get to throw out everything, then just grab the " s" and stick it on the end. When the word is used it's used as a noun.
If "maths" was an actual word, it would be a plural of an adjective, which is silly.
Therefore, the proper word is math, dammit!
Now, how did we wind up with people actually writing the word maths?
ESL. American STEM has been taken over by foreign students, almost all of which have ESL English. The first place I ever heard it, and for a long time thereafter, was from the mouths of non-native speakers. I assume that this was the way they were taught in their native land. You can't be surprised that a bunch of foreign nerds missed the subtleties of a singular (mostly) noun having a "s" on the end and that the non-s version isn't a noun. So, adding the "s" seems ok.

Then, there is the fact that the "th" sound followed by the "s" sound is extraordinarily difficult for American speakers, but for a foriegner, is just another pecadillo of the anarchic English language.
So, "maths" has wormed its way into our conversations, but I refuse to use it, and I call on every red-blooded American to resist this corruption!

The 's' in mathematics is not a plural indicator. And likewise it's not a plural in "maths" either. There's name for that form of the s suffix, which I forget.
It's the same as the s in politics, logistics, physics, a more archaic way of turning an adjective into a noun.

Yeah, it's fun to yell CIA OP at everything but sometimes, at least with music, shifts happen. Sometimes to something 'new' and sometimes it's something old. Ella Langley is a throwback.

The differences between English speaking countries are fascinating. I think we Americans are the only ones that really say "zee" instead of "zed" for the letter 'z' for instance. Canadians say zed. But they use "math" instead of "maths", which the Brits, Aussies, NZers, and South Africans say.

Well, having Grok go over this, it's a bit more "nuanced" than that. It's not the 's' suffix alone, but "-ics", which ultimately came from the Ancient Greek Homo "-ikos", meaning "pertaining to". There was a plural form, "-ika".
That became "-ica" in Latin, and got into English as "-ic" in the 16th century, as and adjectival form. "-ics" thus became the noun form.
Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at July 30, 2026 02:03 AM (w6EFb)
For the formal Latin form, look no further than "Principia Mathematica".
That title alone is for a huge tome by Whitehead and Russel on the foundations of mathematics.
And as "Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica". That's Isaac Newton's seminal treatise.

An ageless question. My take is that tequila lends itself to fast drinking. If you want to feel it and quickly, then shots are the way. No mixers, no sipping. And there are crappy tequilas and sipping tequilas, but as long as you avoid the well ones or the expensive ones, you're set for a good shooter, that actually has some flavor but will go down smooth.

I was just reading the preface to Principia.
"In this sense rational mechanics will be the science of motions resulting from any forces whatsoever, and of the forces required to produce any motions, accurately proposed and demonstrated. This part of mechanics was cultivated by the ancients in the five powers which relate to manual arts, who considered gravity (it not being a manual power, no otherwise than as it moved weights by those powers. Our design not respecting arts, but philosophy, and our subject not manual but natural powers, we consider chiefly those things which relate to gravity, levity, elastic force, the resistance of fluids, and the like forces, whether attractive or impulsive; and therefore we offer this work as the mathematical principles of philosophy; for all the difficulty of philosophy seems to consist in this—from the phænomena of motions to investigate the forces of nature, and then from these forces to demonstrate the other phænomena;"

I haven't spent enough time in bars recently to comment on present day economics, but back then, beer was the superior choice, economically. A 12 oz beer at 6.5% ABV for 25¢ delivers about 0.78 oz of C2H5OH, vs a 1.5 oz shot of 80 proof Seagrams 7 for 50¢ only giving 0.6 oz of ethanol. 30% more at half the price w/beer.
But, delivery to the brain has to be 4 or 5 times faster.

TracFone doesn't exist in Canada. We have about the world's most expensive cellular service, and it is an oligopoly. I am using my old flip phone a Plum Ram, which is a ruggedized flip phone.

I went for a quick 20-minute walk, and while I was out, realized that there are two paths to the same correlation. One is the obvious: drink faster, get looser, and be more inclined to fighting from artificial stupidity.
There other is the two sharing a common cause, which could be the case with young country boys. Higher muscle mass means it takes more booze get the same effect, so they drink faster just to feel something. And, it also means higher testosterone. So, the faster drinking (and tequila preference) and being feisty could spring from the same source, rather than one causing the other.

TBF, pitiful, violent, worthless existence has been the subject matter of plenty of music genre's. Sex Pistols, for example. Not defending rap, don't like it at all. (One exception. The music video for Sabotage by the Beastie Boys, is kind of awesome).

There's a lot of music out there, about *bad lives* but rap just... well, let's just say it doesn't evoke any sympathy or empathy or sense of camaraderie from me.

I had forgotten about this, but Newton was accused on introducing occult agencies into this with the (instantaneous) inverse square law of gravity. "Spooky action at a distance" in more modern language.
Netwon simply said "hypotheses non fingo." -- I formulate no hypothesis. This is Feynmanesque centuries before. I don't know why it does this, but this explains why things move the way they do.

I have a Ting account, and SIM card, for when I am in the USA. Same phone, just switch providers. Many phones now support dual SIMS. I used to just swap out the SIMS, too. A busy month, and my Ting bill is about 20 dollars. $6/month keeps it active. Roaming charges on my Canadian phone could run six bucks for one damned call.

As long as they are on different carriers networks, you have a real backup. If they aren't you're only protected from a bad phone, not network issues.
This is a real.problem with MVNOs. For instance, both Consumer Cellular and Pure Talk run over AT&Ts network. Mint, OTOH, is on T-Mobile. If you're not aware of these factors, you may have a false sense of security.

It wasn't until Einstein and General Relativity that the spooky action at a distance thing was resolved. No, gravity doesn't propagate instantaneously, it moves at a finite speed, and you guessed it, that's the speed of light.
Not that it's that simple. Einstein is 10 coupled non-linear partial differential equations in 10 unknown functions of 4 variables (spacetime).
And, in the weak field, low velocity limit, it looks very, very close to instantaneous inverse square. But it's not, it moving at the speed of light.

Yes, and it's quite slick, and the transmission line equations can show it, and you don't need full 3D field theory.
Take a simple DC circuit, battery, with a switch feeding a two wire line. Close the switch. A voltage and current wave pulse moves down the line at light speed (well, something close, LC product that would be c for the vacuum). The magnitude of that current pulse is just V/Z, where Z is the characteristic impedance.
If there is no load at the end of the wire, just an open circuit, there is a reflected wave that bounces back toward the source, also at c. That just cancels the current, and the steady state is I = 0.
If the load is exactly equal to Z, no reflected wave, and the same current flows steady state. If less than Z, the reflected wave makes more current flow. It's a very cool thing.
Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at July 30, 2026 03:57 AM (w6EFb)
And this also shows that's it's not the electrons (or whatever charge carriers) that carry the energy down the line, but the field itself. The energy moves at c, not at the drift velocity.
But yet you still need those charge carriers, and low resistance in the wire for it to work.

So, the source doesn't know what the load is until (at least) the two-way light travel time has elapsed.

The post displays a heartwarming video of an orangutan named Suryia playfully interacting with, carrying, and bottle-feeding tiger cubs at Myrtle Beach Safari in South Carolina.
Filmed in 2015, the clip shows the male orangutan mimicking human caretakers after they bottle-fed rejected cubs, leading to daily supervised play and bonding sessions.
Replies question if the footage is AI-generated, but it is authentic and predates current AI video tech, having amassed tens of millions of views over the past decade.

Penny (the dog) is patient and kind as baby grabs fist fulls of her fur with both hands, laughing. I then have to wash her hands before the fists of fur go into her mouth.
Goldens are the sweetest of doggies and I am very biased after knowing 3 of them. Always smiling and wanting to please.

Tissington is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Tissington and Lea Hall, in the Derbyshire Dales district of Derbyshire, England. In 2001 the parish had a population of 158. The population "Tissington and Lea Hall" at the 2011 census was 159. It is part of the estate of Tissington Hall, owned by the FitzHerbert family since 1465.
In 1125, William Fitz-Herbert was granted the tenancy of Norbury Manor in Norbury, Derbyshire. Nicholas FitzHerbert and his son Ralph purchased it from the priory in 1444. The senior male line of the family held the manor until selling it in 1881. The original charter from King Henry III of England in 1125 has survived.

Can I bitch and moan? I need to bitch and moan.
I'm hauling this trailer around and the other day one of the airbags under the trailer (they're part of the suspension) blew. Fuck. After some bullshit, eventually got fixed *after* getting a load. Great. Fantastic. Rolling along the next day and BANG! Two airbags in the OTHER side blow. Fuck. Pull into a Love's. They try but can't fix it. Load's too heavy, they don't have jacks good enough to lift the trailer. Problem is the trailer is nearly riding on the tires. Good news! There's a place down the road that can help. Bad news, have to wait until morning.
I'm sick of this fucking trailer. It's one problem after the next. The load delivers Friday afternoon in San Antonio and I would like to be home by the weekend. Fuck my life.

No, señor, it does not help. The paper sticks to the floor, and with the projectile pooping, it gets all over everything anyway, and the smell ... the smell ... Madré del Díos, the smell!!!

Military spending is vastly outstripped by debt service and entitlements. The scope of the corruption is staggering. We still don't know how much of it there was because the responsible parties are doing everything they can to cover it up.
But yes, let's hear again how our poor, impovrished Learing Centers should have all the money they need and the military should have a bake sale for a bomber.
And then compare teacher salaries and retirements to what military members get.

They are restarting the Philadelphia ship yards and bringing in foreign countries because our Navy has fallen way behind China which has an enormous naval advantage over us. This is one of Trump's biggest initiatives. Are you saying Trump is corrupt? That seems odd.
Naval contracts for new ships of virtual every class are being awarded to states all over the country. Not gonna apologize for my state, which suffered greatly as the Navy was allowed to wither, winning a contract to build some of them. That will help some of the folks in my area who were hammered over the last couple decades.

By a strange coincidence, I've reached the point in the book I'm reading ("The Machine Crusade" by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson) where a private contractor is being threatened by the Butlerian Jihad to have his revolutionary new space-folding ships seized to fuel the war machine. He's struggling to make them understand that he *needs* compensation so that he has the funds to build ships, but they just want to take them NOW and maybe someday compensate him later if they win the war.

It’s a legacy going back to 1941 for the most part.
After Pearl Harbor, the government came within a red nether hair of completely nationalizing all industries and manufacturing. Very close. But keep in mind they wanted to maximize production. They wanted to actually win a two front global war, which was in some doubt on both fronts.
Cooler, wiser heads prevailed. So while they prohibited production of all consumer civilian goods, with rare exception, they settled on an incentive program for manufacturers.
Cost, plus 15%

Multitude is the wrong word to use here. Freidman would have not used it in the first place since he cultivated a more "folksy" approach to his audiences, and "a variety of reasons" is really more approachable for gen.pop.con.
Multitude has implications of "more than three" and so far you have only given two reasons. I admit there are more implied, but you really need to foreshadow more to make it work.
As posts go, I have to give it a C, it is not melding into a stream anywhere so it is jarring, and it does not carry enough information to stand on its own. I commend you on following the advice of your spellcheck however!

The Navy has been allowed to deteriorate for decades and the only way we can stop the process is a massive infrastructure investment. We need hulls now and shipyards for tomorrow.
The thing you are missing is that those shipyards can also be used to make merchant ships, rebuilding the US commercial fleet. This has been a major topic in Navy circles for years and Trump is finally actually doing it.
The guy has run the leanest government in my lifetime. He deserves the benefit of the doubt.

Are you retarded? Serious question. The US is THE guarantor of maritime security. There is no one else. The Royal Navy is gone. Our "allies" are useless.
We have allowed our shipbuilding to atrophy and this requires immediate action. I don't give a rat's ass where our favorite pothead is from, HE IS RIGHT.

Nobody turned on a dime, dipshit. One of the core duties of the federal government is national defense. As was noted by AH Lloyd, our naval fleet has been allowed to fall behind for decades and we are woefully behind our main opponent, China, which is churning out ships at break neck speed.
This isn't another Learing Center or meth clinic for the midwest. This is part of a desperately needed rebuild of our naval fleet which has been planned for years.

It is in deal with ship construction. You want a ship that can take hit after hit. It's the Platonic ideal.
China builds a ton of crap, building falls down, roads washing away, bridges collapsing, but their civilian ships seem pretty durable. Gotta respect that.
In other news, I saw a video that Japan is getting out of China, and the tooling and machinery they are not taking with them, they are reducing to scrap. Everything old is new again.

Not sure the point you are trying to make here. Shipyards are a dual-use facility. They can make hulls for war or commerce. We need more of them, or one day China will just embargo us and our overseas trade will grind to a halt.
The US rose to greatness because we had massive shipbuilding capacity. We got complacent (and greedy) and let it atrophy. It must be restored if we are to maintain our security.

When Maduro was selling government subsidized toilet paper in Venezuela, Colombians would cross the border, buy it from the vendors at a percentage above the government mandated price, and ship truckloads back to Colombia to sell at competitive prices there, realizing a tidy profit on the sale.
Some of the TP wound up going back to Venezuela because the Venezuelan's closest supplier was Colombia, and that is where it came from originally.
It ended when everyone realized how stupid the whole thing was.

I remember saying in 2016 that by the time Trump beats Hillary he's gonna make it look so easy it will be considered "obvious" in hindsight. And that's what happened by and large. We went from two years of "Hillary is impossible to dethrone" to she was a "terrible candidate".
This is the same deal. The DSA op is an op. They are trying to jerk the world and this country Left and take the "anti-establishment" mantle back from the man who almost wrestled it completely away. The ONLY saving grace is Trump is still here and maybe this move they are about to dump on the country - and in particular his counter move against it (which we haven't seen yet) - is in fact why God spared him.

The healthcare part of the Kaiser industry ate the company.
With cheap energy and a technically educated populace, you can make steel, aluminum, plastics, etc. and then build things with them.
With expensive energy and non technical education which most of our presidents since Nixon dealt with, we cannot compete as easily.
And our merchant marine and fishing fleets have shrunken due to Chicoms invading our fishing grounds plus hoovering up the world's fisheries and we abandoned running shipping lines due to expensive regulations.
Our ship building business shriveled because we allowed for foreign boatyards to steal our business-first Japan, then S. Korea, now it is China. And our few remaining shipyards got used to high priced contracts on decades long building boat projects for DoD.

Department of Education Investigates Minnesota's Use of "Trans Dolls" with Swappable Genitalia to Promote Transgenderism to Young Children
I think it's time to simply eject Minnesota from the United States. It's a diseased appendage that must be cut off to save the rest of the body.
It just gets worse and worse every single day.The Department of Education is investigating the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) over the potential use of transgender dolls in schools. The investigation was launched Wednesday in response to complaints about "MyGender Dolls," a product designed to encourage transgenderism through the use of toy dolls. Earlier this week, controversy erupted after multiple outlets reported that transgender dolls with interchangeable genitalia would be debuting in Minnesota classrooms this fall, funded by taxpayer dollars. The dolls reportedly originated as a University of Minnesota project through its medical school, which receives $15 million in state funding. An undisclosed amount is also dispersed to its Institute for Sexual and Gender Health, which has a total budget of $1.4 million. The dolls became a marketable product, called MyGender Dolls, marketed to "professionals who support trans and gender diverse children in clinical and educational settings." The Department of Education is investigating to ensure the MDE is in compliance with the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA), which restricts federal funding for schools that force students to engage in activities forcing them "to submit to a survey, analysis, or evaluation" on their "sex behavior or attitudes." The amendment is targeted at preventing schools from hiding name and pronoun changes from parents, as well as transition plans. A complaint filed by parents through Defending Education prompted the federal investigation by highlighting potential violations of multiple federal policies. ... [Secretary of Education Linda] McMahon continued, saying, "No four-year-old should be exposed to such material -- especially without a parent's knowledge or consent. ED will enforce the law to its fullest extent, putting parents and families firmly in the driver's seat of their child's education." Emily Buss, the Communications Director for Minnesota's Department of Education, disputes the claim about the dolls being used in schools, calling it "patently false." "The paper-cutout dolls will not be implemented in Minnesota K-12 public schools. They are intended for use by licensed professionals and clinicians. This is a University of Minnesota-led initiative, and the Minnesota Department of Education is not involved," she said.That's a lie. Adult "clinicians" do not play with paper dolls in order to understand sex change operations. The paper dolls are designed to be used to show to children. And the MyGender Dolls website admits this:
The MyGender Dolls website explicitly states that the dolls are a "first-of-their-kind therapeutic play approach designed for gender diverse children ages 4--10."
Group demands federal investigation into trans dolls with removable genitalia that will soon hit Minnesota classrooms https://t.co/XevwNW2fWD pic.twitter.com/FJkbbCm1XL

This insanity spews from them and other blue states.
I have two sons. They were not interested in being girls, ever. About 15yrs ago, in a public school in FL, there was a "trend" of girls experimenting being lesbian or trans. It goes back that far in a red state.
My 8yr old grandson knows he's a boy and is fine with it. His 5yr old insane sister is fine with being a girl. Neither needed dolls with genitalia to play with or figure out what they were.
I didn't know about freaking ovaries and a uterus til 4th grade when I got dragged to a "hygiene" class with my mother. Missing Red Skelton as it was a Tuesday night. I got NOTHING from it, the book, or the giant box of Kotex which mother showed me in her closet. NOTHING.
Yet children, today, in public (pubic?) skools are being taught this in kindergarten! Later how to masturbate. Or to put a condom on a banana.
My grands go to a conservative Catholic private school and I will be in jail if one is ever harmed by anyone. Do not get me started on perv priests as there are pervs everywhere and our huge parish would not condone it.

I can't help but wonder what happens when a critical mass of parents fully check out on public schools. Given the collapsing birth rate, a bunch of them will need to be closed, and childless people are going to sour on paying for empty buildings. Women who have been raised to hate pregnancy and regard children as burdens aren't going to renew that school millage.

My first year in Denver, I knew a a guy like this. Cool fellow, a locksmith by trade. He'd dress as a woman in his off hours. I'd see him and talk with him (?) at a local coffeehouse where we both enjoyed the music. From what I could tell, cross-dressing was a hobby for him, not some obsession that would lead him to surgical insanities. Of course, this was in '97-'98. No telling what might have happened since.
As for affirmation, people at the coffeehouse were pretty laissez-faire. "Oh, he's just getting in touch with his feminine side."

***********
I should feel sorry for them but I don't. When youngest was 1.5yrs old I started back to work on Saturdays as a RN (before I had to take classes for the license). Their father had the chimps for my shift and it worked out well. My career, always around my boys and mostly part time, did really well for 32yrs. No regrets in not getting my MS degree to be an ARNP or director of a floor. Nope!
The grand slam of motherhood, to me, is being a grandmother. It is simply the best of everything.
My exBFnotF aborted at least 2 babies for her career (lawyuh). Later, in her mid-40's she decided she wanted a baby. Tried IVF. Eggs too old. Tried to talk one of her sisters into surrogacy and that did not work out (fortunately).
First of all she's a narcissist who would have been a horrible mother. She resented her baby sisters that I adored (for starters). She's mean as a snake and alienated her entire family, friends and mentally abused her elderly parents. Her child would have been a mess.

The perv priests was very much a function of the time. Since the new protocols went into place, it's not much of an issue. Public schools are far, far more dangerous.
One could argue that things have gone too far because priests are now removed from ministry without any opportunity to defend themselves - they are presumed guilty and have to prove their innocence, and of course malicious actors do this just to mess with them.

My exposé of his "reading list" was the most explosive report I ever did. So explsive that I had to get it published on other website under pseudonyms.
"Fisting" was the least of it. He actively promoted pedophilia, with books (aimed at kids) filled with X-rated descriptions of how great it is to be turned gay by being molested by an adult pervert. It as (and remains) completely mind-boggling, so grotesque that normal people just turn away rather than confront it.

I despised her, if for no other reason her determination to fail me because she didn’t like the way I held a pen/pencil.

I grew up on a farm and was 22yrs before I understood EVERYTHING. My life long bubble is a happy place.
Recently my dude laughed about me being asked to the "After Party" of a Jethro Tull concert. By the bass player, sending a roadie. The first 5 rows were invited & I was leaving. My friends said no to the roadie and I left with them & my brother.
I honestly thought it was just to party. My husband said, well, no, not completely. I argued they were nice guys (from what I read) and he, patiently after almost 50yrs, said, "What do you think he wanted?" Oh. Well I would have said no. He gave up at this point & we went to bed.

At one time, I'd have thought this was because lefties cleverly imported a population that was very open to the message that they were an aggrieved minority who was entitled to extra goodies ("Vote for us and we'll see to it that you get them").
But it was waaaayyyy back in the day that Norm Coleman was ripped off of a US Senate seat that went to that Democrat SNL star (Al Franken) who got canceled for sexist jokes. There was a lot of controversy about the legitimacy of that election, which Coleman lost by, a think, a couple hundred votes.
So this has been going on for a while.

Queer 13, pages 43-45:
"One day, on the bus to shop class, this ugly fuck of a man sat behind me and put his foot in the crack of my seat. He was skinny, with a patchy, pencil-thin mustache that besotted his oily face. I ignored him for most of the trip. I did notice that he changed buses when I did, but this time he sat beside me. He tried a little small talk, but then he suddenly and very nervously put his hand on my crotch. It never occurred to me to tell him not to. I’m not sure if I agreed to it or not, but he managed to get me to follow him to a nearby rest room at another secondary school “to play.” In the bathroom stall, lit by two scant rows of fluorescent lights, half of them burnt-out or flickering, he tried to kiss me, but I was too nauseated to do that. He sucked my nipples and played with my cock. I had no idea what to do. He then tried to get me to suck his. Somehow I knew this was expected of me...(con't)

“…, but I just could not put his ugly, foul-smelling penis into my mouth. When he forced it in I gagged so hard I started vomiting. Undaunted, he tried to put his cock in my ass. Thankfully, he came prematurely. He pulled up his trousers and left me in the toilet stall confused, frightened, crying, and praying to God for forgiveness of my horrible sin. I spent a good deal of time locked in the stall, trying to clean up, trying to wipe the smell of that act off with wet toilet paper, but I was doused in the stench of that man and what he had done.
This incident should have soured me on men, but it only made me more confused and needful. One day later, something accidental happened that would change my life. I discovered that at a urinal I could actually see someone else’s penis. I was ecstatic and fearful, but I wanted more. One day, at a local shopping mall, as I was trying to sneak a peek at penises in the rest rooms, a man at the urinal actually turned to me and started playing with himself. He flashed me a gold-toothed smirk and motioned for me to come over. Shocked, I zippered up and ran out, but the seeds had been laid. The whole world of rest-room sex had [con't]

"... opened itself up to me.
Soon I was spending a great deal of time hanging out in shopping malls and cruising the rest rooms for sexual encounters. My rest-room exploits started to be a great burden on my mind. The better part of the year was spent making deals with God, asking for a sign, then ignoring and rationalizing everything I perceived to be a sign, praying for forgiveness, and being obsessed with raging hormones and a seemingly endless supply of dicks. I believed that it was all part of a test by God to see if I was a sinner. I was.
I had known before that something was up, and that I was attracted to men, but this toilet thing was a whole new realm of sin and Satan, a new level that I had never before imagined. The following years were spent praying for forgiveness and trying to purge my homosexuality through prayer and Bible study. While my classmates wondered what sex was like, content to masturbate over pinups, I was out there having my cock sucked and my ass fucked. These were grown men I was tricking with. Some were nice, grateful for a young boy to have their way with. Some were harsh and mean...[con't]

I was scared about what I was doing, scared of God’s judgment and of being caught in all those rest rooms and parks, but I really did enjoy those sexual encounters. That feeling of doing it to them and them doing the same for me was just too damn good."

Interesting in 1978 I and a frat bro decided we as no-athlete would win the coed flag football.
No off the line touch, automatic first down if man collided with woman on running plays.
We had 2 gals play basketball, 2 softball players, and a tennis gal.
They could run a play, catch a football, and run.
We made the girls the heros as they made every first down and we won the championship.
Did we play a powder puff game, yes. But we played and had fun.
Point is, everyone of the men playing girl sports is not for fun. It is to hurt or injure or humiliate.

"Trans" Man Beats Mother to Death With Hammer
Coming to a girls locker room near you.
But how could you keep him out of a women's locker room? As you can see from the photos that run with that story, he looks exactly like a woman. It's uncanny!The only way to check his gender would be to forcibly reach down his pants, AOC tells me. You can't tell from his masculine ugly face nor from his five o'clock shadown nor from from his male-pattern obesity. No only invasive "genital checks" could possibly reveal his actual sex.
I don't understand -- I was insistently informed that "gender affirming care" cured the myriad mental illnesses that "trans" people have. And yet... they seem to get worse, not better. It's a real mystery no one can solve because No One Is Allowed to Solve It. Resercher/reporter Andy Ngo did a book about the Zizian Trans Murder Cult and finds that parricide is alarmingly common in people supposedly cured of mental illness through the Miracle of "gender affirming medicine.
A transitioning son accused of killing his mother inside a Laguna Beach home bludgeoned her to death with a hammer -- with the alleged murderer's grandmother discovering the bloody aftermath, authorities said. Police responded to the rental home of Safford James Wolfson, 36, around 11 a.m. on July 20 after Wolfson's grandma entered the residence and found blood-spattered floors and smashed furniture, prosecutors revealed. Investigators said Wolfson's grandmother first found Wolfson lying on the floor covered in blood before discovering the body of Angela Caprioli, 61, in a bedroom with severe blunt-force injuries to her head and face.
Wolfson's grandmother called 911, with cops and medics arriving and taking Wolfson to the hospital with self-inflicted injuries to his neck. Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer said Wolfson faces murder charges as well as a felony enhancement for using a deadly weapon. "It is heartbreaking to think that someone could so violently end the life of the very person who gave them life," Spitzer said. Wolfson is currently being held in lieu of $1 million bail. His arraignment is scheduled for Oct. 1 in Orange County. ... Neighbor Dustin Pettit told The California Post that he witnessed Wolfson and Caprioli involved in a tense argument at the home before the alleged killing. "I saw her outside talking with him and it seemed like a pretty hostile conversation," he said. "She turned around and went inside and slammed the door, like she was fed up with whatever was going on. I was like, 'What the hell is going on here?'"

@MrAndyNgo Parricide--the killing of one's parents--is a recurring theme I found in my years of reporting on trans violence. Perhaps nowhere is this more evident than in the Zizian trans death cult, where it was elevated to a religious-like tenet. Members believed it was righteous--even a duty--to take revenge against "transphobic" parents. Pre-order my true-crime investigation here: https://hachettebookgroup.com/titles/andy-ng
o/the-zizians/9780316599030/
Last year, Collin "Mia" Bailey was convicted of m--rdering his parents in Utah. He is one of many, many trans people who have killed their parents. Bailey blamed his mother for allegedly interfering with his planned trans surgery. He believed she contacted the hospital to warn staff that he had serious issues requiring attention. As revenge, he decided to kill his entire family--even though he admitted his father had supported him. After fatally shooting his mother and father, Bailey also fired into his brother's bedroom but narrowly missed. On social media, trans activists praised Bailey and called for his release. "Free Mia," they wrote. For trans radicals, parricide is not merely excused--it is socially validated. They encourage one another to stockpile firearms, "bash back," and kill "transphobes." Their ideology casts biological family as an obstacle to be replaced with a new "family" of fellow "dolls." http://ngocomment.com

She married her Brian Glenn, a former White House correspondent for Real America's Voice.
'Last night, surrounded by our families ... and I said 'I do.'' Greene wrote alongside the wedding photos.
Images posted by the couple show Greene looking stunning in a white wedding dress standing next to her new tuxedo-clad beau.

Reminds me of a joke...
A lawyer married a woman who had previously divorced ten husbands.
On their wedding night, she told her new husband,
“Please be gentle, I’m still a virgin.”
“What?” said the puzzled groom.
“How can that be if you’ve been married ten times?”
“Well, Husband #1 was a sales representative: he kept telling me how great it was going to be.
Husband #2 was in software services: he was never really sure how it was supposed to function, but he said he’d look into it and get back to me.
Husband #3 was from field services: he said everything checked out diagnostically but he just couldn’t get the system up.
(cont)
Posted by: jim (in Kalifornia) at July 29, 2026 05:36 PM (l3cgK)
Husband #4 was in telemarketing: even though he knew he had the order, he didn’t know when he would be able to deliver.
Husband #5 was an engineer: he understood the basic process but wanted three years to research, implement, and design a new state-of-the-art method.
Husband #6 was from finance and administration: he thought he knew how, but he wasn’t sure whether it was his job or not.
Husband #7 was in marketing: although he had a nice product, he was never sure how to position it.
Husband #8 was a psychologist: all he ever did was talk about it.
Husband #9 was a gynecologist: all he did was look at it.
Husband #10 was a stamp collector: all he ever did was… God! I miss him! But now that I’ve married you, I’m really excited!”
“Good,” said the new husband, “but, why?”
“You’re a lawyer. This time I know I’m gonna get screwed!”

I mean, yes, it is incredibly inhospitable to gang-rape male visitors to the city....
And yes, raping male travelers unfortunate enough to stay in the city is just as bad if you do it collectively as if you do it individually...
But the point is that every adult male in the city was getting together to rape male travelers to the city, preferentially and to the point of entirely rejecting the idea of raping a woman instead.

My own daughter has fallen under this Thulsa Coom's spell. Is there a dildo such as this in her hand for me?
She follows him as a slave, seeking for the truth of her gender, as if I could not give it to her! Steal her HRT! There comes a time, Chud, when the jewels cease to sparkle, when the gold loses its luster, when the throne room becomes a prison, and all that is left is a father's love for his child.

The sin of Sodom and Gomorrah, according to biblical and historical interpretations, was a combination of extreme inhospitality, grave sexual violence (attempted rape of angels), pride, and neglect of the poor. While traditional views often focus on sexual immorality, Ezekiel 16:49–50 emphasizes arrogance, apathy, and failing to aid the needy.

The "trans kids" had other problems, and turned to transexual stuff to kill the pain. This very well documented, but the elites decided this would be the big new compassionate cause with banners and stickers and stuff because they want to feel good about themselves and also piss on Christians.
They took particular glee in targeting traditional religious families and throwing the power of the state at them: "REPEAT THE LIE! REPEAT IT, OR WE TAKE YOUR KID!"

It is a shame to watch him be dragged in front of Congress in the name of bogus conspiracy theories.

The Navy gave my wife a $hit ton of hormones when she found out she had tumors and fibroids in her uterus in an attempt to shrink them, that was a living nightmare and after about three months she refused to take them any longer.
Dosing people with large amounts of hormones of any kind is wrong and will jack your body and your brain completely up. It's no wonder these kids are going on killing sprees.

But if both these things were true, those supposedly closeted cases of gender dysphoria should have accounted for ~ALL of youth suicides twenty or thirty years ago*, and we should now be seeing a historically unprecedented near-eradication of the same.
Let's check if that's the case... NOPE, rather the opposite in fact, and the studied incuriosity of the mental health community about this paradox speaks volumes.

He could have been one of the stops in a freak show in the past for people to observe. The Magnificent Hairy Fake Woman.
When...WHEN...are parents/people/politcians going to recognize this is severe mental illness and stop coddling them? It's getting worse!
I watch a girl wanting to be a boy (I think I have this correct) in church. We have security, of this I am certain. This kid dresses like a boy and wears a newsboy cap.
Sloppy looking but not as hideous as this monster. Maybe parents think they will "grow out of it." Dunno, but I prefer sitting far behind this family, altho she/he is not large and I could take she/him.

Demons exist outside of time. Their only joy is degrading the Children of God. They don't care about biology, just marring God's creation.
Trannies are one of their most diabolical innovations, and they co-opted science and government to turn children against their parents. The more commandments are broken, the greater the degradation, the greater their joy.

1. Most transgenders exist in Western countries.
2. Until recently, most "transgenders" were male to female. However, in the last few years the stiatistics claim it evened out more.
3. Male to female "transgenders" are scientifically explained, while Female to Male "Transgenders" are primarly motivated by trend and escape based on erroneous opinion spewed by feminism.
4. The culprit in all this is...(drum roll)....Toothpaste and municipal water sources.
5. Generous application of fluouride in both toothpaste (more prevalent in the West) and municipal water chemical treatment (fluoride based).
6. Fluoride effects the natural production of Testosterone, and can damage the body from continued use of Fluoride over long periods of time.

A coupe years after we both left the company, out of thje blue he announced to everyone on Facebook that he was "transitioning' into being a woman. Changed his name to something like a porn star would have -- don't want to reveal it here but lets just say "Cupcakes."
Then he embarked on a years-long transition, with hormones, and various surgeries, all documented on Facebook.
Throughout the entiure time, including up to the present, he looks like what he is: a 6' 1" beefy dude with broad shoulders, big jawbone, Adam's apple, receding hairline. But now with added boobs, facelift, wigs, etc.
Why am I mentioning this? Because on Faxebook, all he ever gets is wild praise and affirmation. whenever he posts a new photos, hundreds of comments say, "Cupcakes girl, you are GORGEOUS!" Etc.

However, the furries are what scares me half to death.
(ÀI Overview). Research by groups like Furscience - wut? - shows that roughly 2% to 12% of people in the furry community identify as transgender (depending on the specific survey group), which is significantly higher than the estimated 0.6% of the general U.S. population.
The furry community is widely known for radical inclusion and acceptance, making it a welcoming environment for LGBTQ+ individuals to explore self-expression and creativity through their characters ("fursonas").
Despite the statistical overlap, the two are independent. You can be a cisgender furry, a transgender non-furry, or both.

Coalition of Immigrant-Owned Grocery Stores Will Sue Communist Terrorist Zohran Mamdani for Using State Money to Subsidize Their Competitors
They will drive private enterprise stores out of business. Which is the whole point. Socialism and communism destroy functioning systems so that they can present themselves as the solution to all of the problems they themselves have caused.Meanwhile, longtime NYC residents are complaining that the communist terrorist has put them on a list of people whose properties will be taxed at sky-high rates -- unless they can prove to the city's socialist satisfaction that they live in their homes.
An immigrant-led business group is gearing up to sue New York City over Mayor Zohran Mamdani's controversial plan to open five taxpayer-funded supermarkets -- claiming the $70 million project will create unfair competition for nearby stores, The Post has learned. As the far-left mayor announced new details of his plan this week -- including a 30% discount on basic items like produce, meat, milk, cheese and bread -- the Multicultural Business Coalition's board voted to file a lawsuit in the coming weeks to block the pricey initiative, the group's chairman Frank Garcia told The Post. "The mayor doesn't seem to want to sit down with us," Garcia said, adding that Mamdani "won't be able to bully these lawyers we are going to bring in."
The mayor's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment. MBC -- formed earlier this year to create a unified front against Mamdani's grocery policy -- includes 50 chambers of commerce representing Asian, African, Caribbean, Hispanic, Middle Eastern and Jewish-owned businesses in New York.
The nonprofit MBC plans to raise $1 million to fight some of the mayor's initiatives, Garcia said, adding that the suit "should be a non-partisan initiative." The group plans to send a letter in the coming days notifying Mamdani's office of its plans to take legal action. The funds will go toward the lawsuit and efforts to raise awareness about the plight of its mom-and-pop shop members, many of whom struggle to secure capital, fend off shoplifters and keep up with rising costs including rent and taxes.
New Yorkers were seething Tuesday after Mayor Zohran Mamdani's administration alerted them they'd be on the hook for the state's new pied-a-terre tax -- which was explicitly sold as a levy targeting wealthy owners of luxury second homes. Longtime residents -- some who have called the Big Apple home for decades and own a single abode in the city -- told The Post they were shocked to get hit with five-figure tax bills they believe were mistakenly mailed out, and are now being forced to navigate a bureaucratic labyrinth to prove it. "Whoever's behind this, who I can only assume is the mayor, didn't take the 30 seconds to research," said Karen Young, president and founder of New York and Paris-based beauty marketing company The Young Group, who has lived in New York since 1972.Why would you assume this gayboy Destroyer of Civilization wasn't behind it? You voted for him, didn't you, Dummy?
Yes, the communists say that you can avoid having your property confiscated through ruinous taxation if you jump through their bureaucratic hurdles -- but they're the ones who decide how onerous those hurdles will be, and they profit from citizens failing to run their commie gauntlet. So, enjoy. There must be NO BAILOUTS for New York City or Seattle or Boston or any of the other communist cities after they destroy themselves. The stupid and corrupt will have no other teacher than their self-inflicted misery. They must be made to learn.
She was stunned when she received a letter from the city Department of Finance asking for $43,000 in pied-a-terre tax on her West 95th Street brownstone, which she's lived in with her husband for 30 years. "Is this a witch hunt?" she asked, exasperated. Mamdani not only gloats about 'taxing the rich,' he lies as well "I just sort of line up all of these things and think 'why are you picking on us?'" Young said. "As a faithful New Yorker since 1972, I find it not only insulting but painful," she fumed, "Is anybody paying any attention, or any thinking, or two minutes of research. Just look me up!" Young said she went to the DOF's website to attempt to prove her permanent residency -- but quickly hit a brick wall.
"It's a cumbersome process to prove that I'm a primary resident, which just seems absurd. My jury summons come here, I pay my taxes from here, my utilities," she said. Despite the department telling her the process to appeal or challenge the bill was as easy as uploading a driver's license, Young said she was forced to pay her estate lawyer to get the proper documentation after spending three fruitless hours on the website trying to do it herself. "Apparently they haven't checked their own website. And I'm tech-savvy!" she insisted.

I've a simple solution.
The immigrant grocery stores can pay people to go buy supplies from the commie grocery stores as soon as they open, then sell them below market price.
The commie store fails faster than it would have. People still buy from you because the commie store shelves are empty. You get your goods cheaper than from your normal supplier.
Everyone except the taxpayer is happy.

Providing a NY state drivers license only proves you're a resident of the state, not a resident of NYC.
In my county, I've got provide all of the above documentation to get a "Homestead Tax" exemption for a much lower property tax rate, instead of the county having to prove I'm living in a second home and trying to avoid the higher rate.
I'd expect no less from bureaucracy running the city of New York.

There are already supermarket chains -- like Grocery Outlet, among several others -- that have 50% off as their standard starting price.
Places alike Aldi, Lidl and Trader Joe's also are about 40% off standard supermarket retail prices on many items.
Don't even talk to me about Costco and Walmart.
Dollar stores? Yup.
If you want discounted food, a 30%-off place is gonna be like at the bottom of your lit of options.

Those two things are separate problems. But let’s assume they did - they are still being capitalists, they are still paying taxes, they are still keeping people on a payroll. They are paying the loan back, or paid it back. They are paying rent. Why in the world would we be okay with that type of person being put out of business? We should be in the camp of promoting business ownership.
Note, I have an SBA loan I got for the purchase of my business. It didn’t qualify for a minority targeted loan, it’s just a traditional SBA, but it’s still a government backed loan. The purpose of them is to promote business growth. Now I would rather put pencils on my eyes than go through the process again, mind you. They didn’t just hand me money. It was painful.

South Asian voters: 87.2% supported Mamdani, with strong mobilization in enclaves like Jackson Heights and Western Queens.
Asian American voters (overall): 49.1% (or 59% in some surveys) backed Mamdani, significantly outpacing Andrew Cuomo.
Black voters: 57% (or 48% in other polls) voted for Mamdani, flipping away from Cuomo who led in the primary.
Hispanic/Latino voters: 52% (or 45%) supported Mamdani, driven by his affordability platform in the Bronx and Queens.
Jewish voters: 33% supported Mamdani, while 63% voted for independent candidate Andrew Cuomo.
White voters: Mamdani lost this group, with Cuomo winning 45% to Mamdani’s 37% (or a 1-point margin in other counts).

Lasted less than a year before shutting down due to being destroyed and stripped clean by the kind of clientele that would go to a free store run by Yippies.
I predict a similar fate to Mamdani Express. Shoplifting will be off the charts. What are they gonna do -- arrest and jail someone for shoplifting from the socialist store? I don't think so. The optics would ruin them, S it will be shoplifted to death.

Yesterday afternoon, I posted the following about what had happened on X:
Last week, my mom got a "pied-a-terre" tax notice. She has lived full-time in her townhouse FOR 30 YEARS (she and my dad bought it for under $1 million1). She has no other residence.
Is NYC not bothering with basic checking of its own tax lists?
She's 81 and has three weeks to get her name off the list or she owes $56,000. (Yes, I said I'd help.)
Thanks, Zohran Kwame.
The note went very viral. It has now been viewed 3.5 million times, including a surprising (or maybe sadly unsurprising) amount of jealous blowback from leftists on X. @bri_guy_ny, whose X biography claims he is a “dad, lawyer, progressive, and former 2020 Bernie delegate,” wrote:
"My Mommy owns a townhouse that's worth upwards of $8 million dollars, and the government is making me FILL OUT A FORM. I am deeply oppressed. Boo hoo for me."

Which means that the product they are buying is near free since never at any time has any government ever had cost savings as part of the operation plan.
There is always graft. There is always corruption. There is always skimming. There is always incompetence. This is always sloth. There is always money laundering for The Party.
I wouldn't be surprised if each of the proposed stores had sinecures for assistant managers. Having more overhead than a school system of worthless Party functionaries serving various roles within the organization.

I've a simple solution.
The immigrant grocery stores can pay people to go buy supplies from the commie grocery stores as soon as they open, then sell them below market price."
How about paying people to steal from the commie stores? Then the private stores would get an even bigger edge.

The problems are far deeper than the votes - look at the “choice” they had. Mamdani, or the lying scumbag Cuomo who sent 15,000 grannies to their deaths while he perved on all the office help; or Sliwa, who cosplays as a right wing leader but in fact is just another Jew hating nutcase.
NYC is past the point where they should be allowed to self select their own leaders. I lean towards military government combined with an occupation force; but I’m open to some new Ike Turner look alike to be named the new Duke of New York. Especially if he’ll go all Ike Turner with a spiked baseball bat on all the purple haired idiots out on the street.

In the SF Bay area, there is a common scam that everyone knows about but no one is allowed to mention publicly:
Chinese and Middle-Eastern shop owners send family members to free pantry food grocery handout locations (churches, senior centers, etc.), collect as much as they can of the generic bulk food -- then resell them in their shops. Happens all the time.

They were Greeks. Elder dad and two siblings. Dad fresh off the boat barely spoke English 30 years later. Siblings born here.
No laws were followed. I got paid in cash at the end of my shift. No taxes paid no fica collected nothing. I don’t know if they had a license to sell alcohol but they sold a lot of it to very young people’s. This was back when renting VHS tapes was a thing. The brother would go to blockbuster rent the latest movies then make copies and rent those out for $2. And yes they’d buy soda in bulk from a warehouse club, then sell the items individually at 300% markup.
That’s how ALL these places operate.
But it was fun another. Especially then the siblings and the dad would yell at each other in Greek. Which was pretty much all the time.
It was a fun time.

Mamdani’s showing us exactly what can be done when personal greed is not the main driving factor.
But won't *somebody* think of the poor, downtrodden CEOs who will barely able to afford the fuel and personnel costs for their private jets?
waiting for both Democrats and Republicans to try to spin these discounted groceries into a bad thing. He'll be called a socialist like it's a bad word.
They’re making more and more socialists out of the populace every time they call Mamdani one!
Our generation (i am a millennial) hears this and demands more of that. First time their red scare tactics dont work because who they labeled socialist makes them more endeared to working class families
Omg, I need to move to NYC. Not even kidding 😭 I want to be part of making things work.
we have commissarys on military bases that have lower cost goods. why can't the rest of us have something similar?
anyone that still believes a democrat when they give some excuse about how they can’t actually help the human race, direct them to the example of Mr. Mamdani

The state-run grocery stores, if they ever come to be, will not have to pay taxes and will not have to pay rent.
They will drive private enterprise stores out of business. Which is the whole point. Socialism and communism destroy functioning systems so that they can present themselves as the solution to all of the problems they themselves have caused."
Potemkin Grocery Stores! All media taking heads and Democrats who are given tours of Mamdani's commie stores will publicly say government-owned and -operated grocery stores are terrific! Just look at how marvelously the new ones in NYC are changing the lives of people in Food Deserts!
Every Democrat politician is salivating at the thought of how much graft can be generated by government stores selling staple foods (and junk foods). All (inevitable) losses will be another item the taxpayers will subsidize. Any Democrat city political machine that can't cook the books to hide losses due to shoplifting, employee theft, and graft is completely inept at its basic function.

None of these people seem to realize that Brandon Johnson tried the same thing in Chicago and had to close all the stores.
Or that the same thing was tried in Kansas City and by the end of that store's life it looked just like an empty store circa 1985 in Moscow.
They are completely ignorant of history.
They learn zero lessons.
They only think about themselves and how they can get something for nothing.

I think the store was setup as something similar to a state (think government/Socialist) run biz. Montgomery County was home to many Western, and Eastern Europeans who worked for various embassies or whatever. And the county, even back then, was very commie curious.

Because under the table inventory bought with cash, is sold under the table, and the cash revenue isn’t reported and no way to trace it.

It's not uncommon in cities and counties where there are a lot of non-primary residences (think lakes, beaches, vacation destinations) to charge a higher rate on property taxes to non-residents.
I've never quite understood why you want to charge people more who are receiving less government services, other than the targets have at least a second residence and therefore are rich and deserve it.
The local governments get away with it, though.

The plan is to put one store in each borough. In the Bronx, it'll be over in Hunts Point which is four miles from me. The stores will have limited offerings, and only promise deep discounts on a few items.
Most South Bronx residents don't have cars. That's why they use bodegas!

There is a reason why established stores make forecasts based on previous sales. Its because they have to buy the stock in advance. The immigrants who go to Costco are leveraging the Costco supply-chain and forecasting functions, but do so at a price. Fortunately Costco's purchasing power and logistics is so good and their ability to be flexible narrows that gap between Costco's costs in the logistics and what the bodega merchant could do on their own.
Pretty sure that the Mamdani stores will be using Costco's infrastructure, and thus they won't have an site statistics or forecasts.

Most street vendors don't have a business license. If they do, they aren't keeping adequate records.
If caught, no records. No money to pay the fine. Cops/enforcement actively look away.

Iran Threatens Lives of First Lady and Barron Trump; Trump Says He'll Kick the Sh** Out of Them
Iran is calling upon its foreign agents to kill Trump's wife and youngest son.
First lady Melania Trump and son Barron are the latest targets of Iran's sick anti-US propaganda. A new video out of Iran is encouraging supporters of the Islamic regime to assassinate President Trump's wife. Entitled "How to Kill Melania Trump," the video shows images of the first lady in the motorcade and in some locations around New York City, even naming some of the designer stores that she shops. The shopping excursions could be "suitable for operations by global freedom fighters," the video noted. It also suggested using a nerve agent to poison any clothes the first lady might purchase.
... At the end of the video, Barron Trump, 20, is also threatened. "This is just the beginning. Barron Trump, wait for us." ...
The president's family has been repeatedly targeted since the war with Iran began. Last week, billboards appeared around Tehran demanding the death of President Trump and his relatives, including Melania and all his children: Don Jr, Ivanka, Eric, Tiffany and Barron. "Blood for blood," it read. ... [President Trump] told The Post that he "left instructions" should Iran succeed in their plots to assassinate him -- and there'll be hell to pay. "I've been on their list for a long time. That's what we're dealing with," he said. "... The only thing is, I've left instructions -- if anything happens, to just literally bomb them at levels that they've never seen before."
Iran just launched five missiles at US bases. The missiles were all intercepted, but Trump vows vengeance.
President Donald Trump on Wednesday warned that the U.S. is going to "beat the f*cking sh*t" out of Iran following its attack on U.S. forces in Jordan. U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed on Tuesday that Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps forces attempted to conduct a "surprise attack on U.S. forces based in the Middle East." "All Iranian missiles were successfully intercepted. U.S. forces remain vigilant and at a high state of readiness," CENTCOM said. In response to that, President Donald Trump told Fox News, "We're going to beat the f*cking sh*t out of them." Trump added that Iran is "going to get a beating."
Trump explained why he hasn't yet bombed Iran's bridges and power plants. It's simple: He's thinking about the day after the collapse of the regime. The freed people of Iran will desperately need to start making money, and that will be difficult with all of the bridges and power plants destroyed. Trump explains that bridges can take up to ten years to build and power plants are the most expensive piece of infrastructure to rebuild. I watched a video last week explaining that's why Trump has not bombed Kharg Island down to ground, too. It turns out that despite Iran's long coast on the Strait, they have only one deep water port, and that's Kharg Island. The rest of the coastal waters are shallow and piled with silt which prevents ocean-going tankers from pulling up to take on oil. This is also why you only hear of plans to use Marines to seize Kharg Island, as opposed to dropping massive ordnance penetrators on it and just destroying the port entirely. So again, he's contemplating the post-war economy of Iran and deciding not to bomb key infrastructure that the Iranians will desperately need. That all makes sense. Here's what doesn't: Repeatedly threatening to bomb things you've already decided not to bomb.
PRESIDENT TRUMP: "Already, it'll take them many years to ever rebuild, and if I go back and finish up the job as some people would like with the bridges... it takes them ten years to build a bridge... I think we have a very strong position right now. They know I'm going to do… pic.twitter.com/TFOt3NbQRZ

U.S. Central Command and the Saudi Arabian Armed Forces conducted precision strikes in Iraq, July 28, against Iran-aligned terrorists that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) directed to attack U.S. forces and Saudi energy infrastructure. U.S. and Saudi fighter aircraft struck multiple terrorist logistics and weapons sites across eastern Iraq in a strong response to over 30 IRGC-directed aerial drone attacks in the last 72 hours. The unwarranted attacks against U.S. forces were not successful.Leftists are openly grieving Iran's inability to fund their favorite murderous, psychopathic Muslim terrorist forces.

Yea, but Iran doesn't know that. And there may come a time when we have to bomb those things.
I'm not sure how long we keep doing these half-measures, without going for the jugular, because of some (mostly) altruistic notion that we have to save Iran for the Iranians.
I'd love Iranians to live in a free society without head-chopping lunatics in charge. I also want a pet dragon. At some point, we have to give up what I have long thought is a delusion and just act 100% in America's interests and let the chips fall where they may.

The point of war is inflicting enough pain to make the people, the civilian government, and the "moderate" members of the IRGC decide it is in their immediate personal interest to end the current leadership of the IRGC - essentially the reverse of the argument you and Trump are making.
Once you win, if you want, you can start funding explicitly pro-American leaders making them attractive people to follow for the rest.

So cutting them off from banking, taking their money and giving it to their most recent victims of their bombardment, and letting them see what they could be earning on the international oil market, if they only agreed to peace, will eventually lead to a form of shareholder's meeting in which they will determine the way forward. Hopefully it will include the recalcitrant and the holdouts for total war hanging from construction cranes, in accordance with local tradition.

If we get serious about damaging Iran's infrastructure one possible outcome is for the country to fracture formally or informally into smaller entities that are more interested in food and trade then war with the Great Satan. This is also a win.
Imagine for example the governor of Sistan and Baluchestan coalescing power himself in the province signing a cease fire with the US and handing over IRGC members in his area. He's a Sunni and a Balouch so he has personal reasons to split assuming the IRGC is too weak to respond...

Any advice for someone who wants to start in journalism in the midst of all of this?
I would tell them that the business model for journalism is in flux right now, so if you want to be a journalist, number one, build a direct relationship with an audience. That’s the most valuable thing you can do. And don’t shy away from new technology. The one advantage you have when you’re starting out is that you’re starting from scratch, so you can build your business model however you want. There are a lot of young people I talk to today who know journalism is going to be a hobby for them. They’ll become an HVAC technician and do journalism on the side, or make some other product and use that to fund their journalism. I don’t know that we’re going to have journalism the same way we had for the past 50 or 60 years. But we could build something better. We just have to have these conversations.

It only prevents the easy transfer of goods, materials and fuel between the various elements of the dreaded "mosaic" strategy of decentralized warfare. This decentralized organizational model is what is making Iran such a tough nut to crack.
Like Imperial Japan, taking every single node in the system will require boots on the ground and serious casualties of US personnel.
Like the Pacific war, it is not actually required to take each node, and instead just prevent resupply - by sea, by land and from China, and across the mountains from, for example, ports on the Caspian sea.
Without resupply, and destruction of the banking net, the men can't be paid, fed, and ammo and missiles can't be replenished. At some point the IRGC hardliners in each hideout will be squatting around their last missile LARPing Beneath the Planet of the Apes.

Key and Peele had a skit on this. A couple of jihadis are sent to the US to conduct terror attacks and open a food truck to raise money.
After a while their leader shows up asking them why they aren't killing infidels yet. One food truck guy starts talking about how much money they are making, but the other guy realizes it isn't helping and instead argues with the fatty food they are serving they will surely kill plenty of infidels in 20-30 years
The leader hears all of that and sounds dismissive but the next day has his own food truck serving cheaper food.

And the comical thing it is the same answer. The culture Haitians bring is crime, fraud, and sloth.

Then recently Ukraine sank an Iranian tanker (in the Black Sea I think), so the war against Iran (with Russia helping) is linked to the Ukraine war against Russia (with Iran helping them).

The same was true for Germany and Japan though. The answer isn't that one day the current leader of the IRGC will say "oops guess I was wrong let's make peace"

We sank their transport ships, exp. tankers.

From the CA Post:
Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) has revealed that Fauci approved the use of “aborted baby body parts in mice research.”
“NIH-funded coronavirus researcher Dr. Ralph Baric and his colleagues at UNC put parts of livers, thymus and chunks of human fetal lung that they got from aborted, almost five-month-old human babies,” Ernst said. “They put those parts in their research mice. They disgustingly named them ‘BLT-L’ mice, and wrote they had created a ‘sandwich of aborted body parts in the mice.’”

he is running out of levers to pull to keep oil prices from getting out of control. He'll most likely have to sign an embarrassing deal and then completely throw Vance under the bus. He'll fire Hegseth.
This is one reason for his takeover of all news agencies. Just continue to say you won biggly and let the propaganda avalanche do its thing.

From the CA Post:
Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) has revealed that Fauci approved the use of “aborted baby body parts in mice research.”
“NIH-funded coronavirus researcher Dr. Ralph Baric and his colleagues at UNC put parts of livers, thymus and chunks of human fetal lung that they got from aborted, almost five-month-old human babies,” Ernst said. “They put those parts in their research mice. They disgustingly named them ‘BLT-L’ mice, and wrote they had created a ‘sandwich of aborted body parts in the mice.’”

Were the polls accurate in previous cycles at this point in the same year?
Specifically the polls showing things like D+10 in the midterms this year (Fox)? Were they even accurate in the end?
Ipsos, which is bang on for the generic ballot in 2018, 2022, and 2024 (they shit the bed in the presidential race for 2024) in their final polls have it D+2.
Which poll is right? Because they can't be both right. They're both outside the margins of error for each other.

The scale of their ability needs to be measured. When we started, they were firing more than a hundred missiles a day. Now, for their big push, their Battle of the Bulge, they send up 6 missiles which are all intercepted.
And they can't affect the strait at all. Oil keeps going out with tankers just turning off AIS, doing ship to ship transfers, all while Iran says things that aren't true like a VLCC hitting a mine in Omani waters which no one believes.
And no, I doubt they're getting new shipments of anything anymore. They apparently got some between the ceasefire and the MOU, but nothing since.. The idea that China could sneak through a major cargo tanker headed to Iran by the US Navy while the blockade is active is ludicrous. We knocked out their rail lines to Turkmenistan. They're getting nothing.
If this is dicking around, I don't know what taking it seriously is.

1) Trump insists on giving every opportunity to allow the other side to do the right thing, before initiating bloodshed.
2) It's a cover story for the times where he has reason to pause the attack that he doesn't want to make public. Maybe it re-supply; maybe it's fielding a new technology; maybe it's reassessing or gathering more intel; maybe it's dealing with the allies. There could be all kinds of real reasons but actually expecting it to get somewhere has never been one of them.

One of the problems is Trump doesn't really do regime change. He's criticized it often in the past and he doesn't really think well in those terms.
He's always conflating the country of Iran or the Iranian people with this group of theocratic Islamic doomsdayist cult mass murderers that have gained control over the country, referring to them often as just the "Iranians" and granting them rhetorical legitimacy as the embodiment of the Iranian people.
In truth, he was right about Iraq, we didn't need regime change. After kicking Saddam out of Kuwait, Bush and Powell could have kept waging war until the Iraqi government surrendered. They would have had to hand over Saddam for trial, but the Baath party could have been left in charge with a peace treaty in which they acknowledged Kuwait's right to exist and paid damages and that would probably have been for the better.
But Iran is a different case entirely. Since 1979 our goal should always have been regime change and granting no recognition to the Islamist cultists that held our hostages and maintained power through mass murder.

But at this point, since it's useless to the Iranians if nobody is pulling up to get some oil, I think the IRGC would bomb the hell out of their own facility if there were U.S. troops on the island.

There's a pretty solid reason for that. There are checkpoints throughout the country to assure that the local gentry can't travel to different locations to join revolts. That allows the local powers to keep a close eye on the "troublemakers" with no new unknown faces entering the fray. I expected the US to target these checkpoints (or even Mossad on the ground to take them out methodically), but they remain firmly in place.
However, we might be working towards the time when they are all taken down at once, and preparation is being applied for that day. If it happens and you're IRG, you won't want to be in Tehran on that day.

Our exports are actually going down right now. Our supplies are increasing.
We're in the opening stages of an oil glut because oil is getting out of the Middle East both by the strait and by other means (existing and expanded pipelines) all while America and Scandinavia massively increased production in the face of the war premium.
It's just a question of waiting for demand to naturally decrease moving into the fall, refinery spreads decreasing in response, and gas prices dropping like a rock. Late summer.
But, remember, Trump shouldn't have dealt with the largest worldwide sponsor of terror who has been at war with us for 50 years because gas prices would go up a bit in the meantime.
Also, you'd be surprised at how little economic indicators have to do with midterm results.

I suspect that the goat-fuckers are running on their existing inventory of missiles/drones rather than getting new stock via smuggling. And they likely had purchased/built more missiles/launchers than CIA had found out about. Because as we well know, CIA is a world-class intelligence service that ALWAYS has accurate intel.

Iranians don't want freedom. No one in the Middle East--with the exception of the Israelis--wants anything to do with freedom. They don't understand it. Their cultures have never, ever experienced it. For thousands of years they've been ruled by strongmen.
The best result we could hope for is a secular strongman to take charge of the country and rule it with an iron fist, putting the hammer down on any Islamic nutjobs that attempt to overthrow the government again.

We did target them for a while, then they started hiding them under bridges and the like to protect them to some extent from air attack. Even if we hit a few it would be relatively easy to build a bunker that would protect the checkpoints. Iran's a big place, and the road net between cities is poor by our standards.

I don't see bombing from the air being enough to accomplish regime change. And I don't think Trump can accomplish his stated goals without regime change.
As we see in the Ukraine war drones have changed everything on the modern battlefield. We would need maybe 10-15 million drones supported by a ground force of some nature but what drone warfare has shown us is we don't need a massive D-Day type invasion force to support a drone rollover of every significant IRGC formation in the country. Russia and Ukraine are each making about 7 million drones in calendar 2026.

He's always conflating the country of Iran or the Iranian people with this group of theocratic Islamic doomsdayist cult mass murderers that have gained control over the country, referring to them often as just the "Iranians" and granting them rhetorical legitimacy as the embodiment of the Iranian people.
...
But Iran is a different case entirely. Since 1979 our goal should always have been regime change and granting no recognition to the Islamist cultists that held our hostages and maintained power through mass murder.
Posted by: TITP at July 29, 2026 04:16 PM (6Q9y6)
The clowns second-guessing Trump always make me laugh.
Trump isn't conflating anything, and it's arrogant and foolish of you to suggest otherwise. He quite obviously understands that the insane mullahs have to go, even if he finds it useful to say things that imply they don't. He obviously means to end this, once and for all, and fully understands that's the only way to do it. He has literally said, the Iranian people must rise up and take their country back.

Their power projection is largely the same it has always been, they still maintain the ability to strike at us and their neighbors.
It really has not changed substantially.
All they need to do is shoot off a couple of rockets here or there, kill a serviceman here or there, down an air craft here or there, cause mischief here or there and the disruption they cause is outsized to their actual capabilities.

You miss the point.
They cannot disrupt anymore. They absolutely cannot.
The oil market found a way. Iran can only put out press releases about things that haven't happened.
Oil is below $80 a barrel...again. It's lower than it was before the renewed strikes.
The gas prices are about refinery spreads, and nothing to do with the global oil market anymore.

The actor that CAN disrupt oil markets is Donald Trump.
He has done so several times this month.
There is no free market in a market that involves OPEC+. The pull quote about it is, "The price of oil on the market has more to do with how many prostitutes the Gulf states Sheiks want to import from Europe than it has to do with supply and demand"

Completely wrong. Drones control the front lines on either side for up to 30 kilometers. The Russians need bad weather or a massive surge of EW and targeting the drone operators to get anywhere which they only do through slipping tiny groups of infantry through the lines. Several days ago the Russians tried a good old-fashioned armored column penetration of tanks and APCs and got blown to bits by drones.
Unfortunately there seem to be a lot of strategists in the Pentagon who have not been paying close attention to how the Ukraine war has evolved.

MS NOW "National Security Reporter" Took a Luxury All-Expenses Paid Junket Paid for by Communist China's Intelligence Services, Then Wrote Articles Trashing Trump for Criticzing China
I wrote about Natalie Winters' expose of "journalists" receiving valuable all-expenses paid travel to China and then immediately acting as China's propaganda agents yesterday.
Just the News writes about one of these agents of Red China, a former Reuters fake reporter now serving as MS NOW's fake national security reporter.
An MS Now reporter who criticized President Trump's speech about Chinese influence previously traveled to the country with the help of a Chinese Communist Party-linked organization and failed to tell readers he was the guest of a CCP-linked outfit. David Rohde, MS NOW's senior national security reporter, who traveled to China when he was with Reuters, was listed as one of many mainstream journalists who traveled to China as part of Chinese influence operations, as revealed by journalist Natalie Winters, who co-hosts the War Room podcast and video stream with Steve Bannon. Rohde himself announced he was taking the trip back in 2011 in a column titled, "Will 'Made in America' sell in China?" In the column, which no longer bears his name but did in a previous archived version visited by Just the News on Tuesday, Rohde says that he and other journalists "are visiting China this week on a trip organized by the China-United States Exchange Foundation, a non-profit group run by businessmen with close ties to the Chinese government." Paid for a viewpoint? Since that visit, Rohde has written numerous columns favorable to China, including one shortly after Trump's speech claiming the president was trying to "undermine trust in the midterm elections by claiming that China had a role in his losing the presidency in 2020." During Trump's speech earlier this month, the president alleged that China attempted to allegedly influence American public opinion by offering money to journalists to write negative stories about him. "The Chinese government sought to identify US journalists who had reported negatively on the US president and pay them large sums of money to write more negative articles about him," Trump said during his speech. While Just the News could not find evidence of such a clear monetary exchange, journalists like Rohde, who were hosted in China, did have their trip organized and paid for by the China-United States Exchange Foundation (CUSEF), whose founder, Tung Chee-hwa, is a Hong Kong businessman who served as vice chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) from 2005 to 2023. ... Most news organizations focused on reporters' ethics eschew hiding the fact that the reporter's trip was paid for by the subject he or she is covering. For example, the Society of Professional Journalists' Code of Conduct explicitly states that journalists should "Refuse gifts, favors, fees, free travel and special treatment, and avoid political and other outside activities that may compromise integrity or impartiality, or may damage credibility." Another commentator on journalistic ethics, Zan Romanoff, put it more bluntly: "In theory, journalistic ethics are simple: writers shouldn't pay for access to subjects or sources, or be paid by those subjects and sources to write about them; outlays should be provided by the publication, and limited to the bare-bone requirements of reporting, such as food."
CUSEF is registered under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), a law designed to make foreign influence transparent. The CPPCC is part of China's "United Front" work, a Soviet-era strategy used to influence Chinese communities overseas, foreign governments, and others to support the policies preferred by Beijing. Part of that effort includes bringing Western journalists to China. Rohde in particular has written positively about China -- and negatively about Trump -- since his trip in 2011. In his 2011 column for Reuters, Rohde derided America while praising China.

Less now, but it was a lot. But I think that was small potatoes compared to the money that foreign governments themselves poured in. The Saudi royal family alone was probably funneling 10s of billions here over the years. China? Don't get me started.

The WNBA is a basket case because it is a subsidy and everyone involved knows it is literally impossible to be anything else. The actual interest in women's sports is too low and will never reach anything like NBA levels.
So, increasing the appeal of the WNBA is not a concern. There's no incentive for it.
So, it's more important to protect the fiefdoms of those in charge, or, in other words, to protect the progressive political bubble of the organization.

I'd love to see a National Law passed, that all Election money, even spent by 'issue' groups, on issue ads... must come from within the area effected by that election.
Thus, a Senator can only take money from within the State. A Mayor, can only take money from within the town... a State Proposition can only have ads about it funded from within the State... and so on....
Would take foreign money right out of our election process... and would limit how Billionaires can effect elections in places they don't live in, and can't vote in.

The rumor is (and it's come up in these interviews numerous times) is that China has a vault under the streets of Beijing. They take certain foreigners inside who they think can be of use, and flat out bribe them with a safety deposit box in this vault displaying their name on a brass plaque. They allow you to look through the contents of the "this could be yours" box, but require certain favors in return. In short: open bribery.

The left murdered a husband and father who just happened to be the CEO of a healthcare company. They are still making his murderer into one of their heroes, and a verb implying some form of justice. His crime? Being the head of a healthcare company whose policies they didn’t like.
Anthony Fauci, by his acts, lies, omissions, falsehoods and blind trampling of our Bill of Rights arguably was responsible for the deaths of millions. His policies, invoked mendaciously in the name of safety, which he demonstrably knew were lies, condemned generations of Americans to lifelong health issues, loss of liberty, loss of vocation, loss of an education, an inability to see loved ones on their death beds and some of the most egregious undermining of the public health system in its history. The right responded by asking for a full disclosure of his notes, testifying under oath to elicit facts, and a full explanation of his behavior, often backed by his own diary. Fauci refused and in one final act of defiance gave our country the middle finger.
Let that all sink in.

Media Can't Stop Boo-Hoo Whinin' and Cryin' That Trump Is Deporting The Democrats' Best Voters
Axios: Trump has ramped up self-deportation.
President Trump's controversial "self-deportation" program, which pays unauthorized immigrants to leave the U.S., is on pace to account for more than 200,000 departures, according to internal data shared with Axios.How is it "controversial" to pay illegal aliens to voluntarily leave the country? It's only controversial if you are devoted to the idea that all foreigners not only have a right to be present in America, but must be encouraged to exercise this non-existent right. For the voting.
The New York Times complains that the US is, get this, turning away foreigners just for having expired -- void -- visas. You know, like the law says is supposed to happen!
Why it matters: Launched last year alongside a multimillion-dollar ad campaign, the initiative is virtually the only carrot in an aggressive immigration crackdown that has been long on sticks. Through July 16, the nearly $600 million program -- dubbed Project Homecoming by the Department of Homeland Security -- has helped about 132,000 people exit the U.S. Roughly 70,000 more have signed up and are on track to leave, according to the data. About half of the self-deportations have involved immigrants held in detention, under an effort that accelerated the departures and began when a DOGE staffer brought Project Homecoming into ICE facilities. The big picture: The self-deportation program is a key part of the administration's push to remove 1 million unauthorized immigrants from the U.S. each year. The idea was that unauthorized immigrants would be so fearful of being arrested and detained by ICE or Customs and Border Protection that they'd voluntarily leave the U.S., with the promise of free travel and a stipend of $1,000, paid once they had left. The stipend has increased to $2,600 and was briefly $3,000 last Christmas. Border czar Tom Homan said in May that encouraging self-deportations was "part of the plan from the very beginning."
... Zoom in: Project Homecoming started slowly, attracting about 24,000 immigrants in its first six months as staffers arranged deportees' travel documents and flights out of the U.S. The White House then pressured DHS officials to move faster. "The push was daily calls from the White House and weekly principal level calls [with Deputy White House Chief of Staff] Stephen Miller directly," one source said. "They wanted like thousands pushed through on a daily basis, and we were putting through like dozens." ... Case managers for the self-deportation program are now in 40 ICE detention sites, and about half of its 200,000-plus cases have involved immigrants in detention. People in detention opting to leave the U.S. through the initiative now spend an average of 17 days in detention detained compared the typical 50 days, according to ICE data. That's begun to free up bed space in some detention centers.
... "For the first time, someone walks in and goes, 'Hey, who here just wants to go home?' And everybody's like, 'I want to go home,'" one source said. "It's an immediate jump" in detainees seeking deportation. By the numbers: Each self-deportation is costing the government about $2,500, plus the stipend paid to the deportee, DHS says. Removing an immigrant who doesn't volunteer for deportation costs about $18,245, the agency said.
ICE is detaining foreign citizens at airports with expired U.S. visas, including spouses of Americans, according to documents obtained by The New York Times and interviews with immigration lawyers. https://t.co/gHPgFnhc6r
— The New York Times (@nytimes) July 28, 2026
The left is arguing against this note, claiming that aliens are in "legal limbo" so they're allowed to violate the US's immigration rules and ignore our visa requirements:
[No Note Needed] - not only is the article reporting facts, but the proposed note about "that is how visas work" misses the fact that many official avenues for immigration often leave aliens in immigration limbo with no legal statusFuck you.

I am not an immigration lawyer, but I imagine that holders of an expired visa have a clear path to renew their visa. That means they're not in limbo.
So no, "Trust me bro, lots of people trying to follow the law are in legal limbo," isn't a compelling argument.

This is complete bullshit. Once your visa expires, that's it -- it's over. It's like an expired driver's license. There's no "legal limbo" about whether you can still drive. You fucking can't.
At one time, when foreigners took US immigration rules seriously, they would never overstay a visa, even one that would be renewed. Because if they did, and they were caught, they would never get another visa again.
I knew a lot of foreigners -- mostly from Asia -- who were here on legal visas (mostly for work or school) and wanted to eventually get a green card. They would fly back home rather than risk overstaying even a day. From home, they would get the visa renewed, and come back to USA. There was no "legal limbo" horseshit.

A LOT less. It costs a lot of money per day to keep people detained--facility, guards, medical care, risk of anchor babies, etc. etc.
And then you have the legal costs of the deportation process--best to just pay them and kick them out voluntarily.

Sure, some visas are renewable, but it's often not easy -- sometimes you have to go through your home country -- that begs the question of what your status is when they expire before they are renewed.
There are also provisions for asking for a temporary "stay" of deportation while you are applying for a renewal.
Anyone caught with an over-stayed visa and no stay in place pending renewal is a dirty fucker and can go fuck right off.
There's no "legal limbo" in this case. You can limbo the fuck outta my country if they expire.

You live in a shithole sanctuary state so you won't see what others in sane jurisdictions do. And yes, there are a lot of signs like dropping k12 enrollment rates, decline in arrests for crime, and other indications of home prices dropping like in the Dallas Metroplex, and so on. But, given that the estimates are that approximately 8-10 million came here in the Biden years and over a million illegals were given SSNs at the same time, it takes a while to drain the ocean of illegals.
They just fired a leftist piece of shit who was head of DHS's statistics dealing with deportation numbers for underestimating deportation and underestimation of total illegals.
The first rule of holes is to stop digging--DHS and Trump have done a lot to stop digging the hole deeper by sealing the border, etc. The second is the tedious but necessary draining of illegals.

From DHS:
More than 3 million illegal aliens have left the US or been deported since President Trump took office, the Department of Homeland Security has revealed.
Of those 3 million, 2.2 million have opted to self-deport through a program that allows migrants to turn themselves in via a DHS app in return for a cash stipend and free flight home.
Another 900,000 have been deported since Jan. 20, 2025, and as of this month, DHS has arrested 900,000 illegal aliens, according to agency figures.

I think these stats are for illegals taking the $2600 deal to formally and voluntarily deport themselves. That's a formal process where they sign waivers and get checks. We should -- should -- have very accurate stats on this.
The much bigger number of "self deportations" are illegals who just decide it ain't worth it to stay, and just leave. We have little data on that. I've seen some very big numbers tossed around. Do I believe them? Let's just say I'm skeptical.

It's much harder to get back in now. This isn't the Biden regime where you just walk up to the border, shout "amnesty," and they walk you right in.
I also think the waiver you sign to get the money says you ain't never coming back. So if you try to come back, even if you could get into the country to do so, in theory you can't get a visa and should be catapulted back to Cannibalia.

interviews with immigration lawyers
I want to see interviews with immigration lawyers when they are served search warrants for possession of stolen SSNs. Prosecute a slew of storefront "Abogado Immigracion" for Social Security fraud and that makes things difficult for illegal aliens to hold jobs. Not to mention, arresting and charging all of these employers who hire illegals.

My guess it was all a smoke screen for building concentration camps, masked federal police, www3, martial law, economy collapse, energy crisis, civil war, and data centers for the surveillance state.
The self deportation, and government payment, is stupid. Why are we wasting our money, when they have spent their money. If they are an issue, turn them away as they come back. Guess we gotta' keep those numbers up for funding
Expanding deportation operations, just in time for the midterms. Sweep through blue states and grab everyone and anyone they can.
Seems like an own goal. Anyone they can deport can't vote, meanwhile they actively unite a potentially fragmented opposition party.
'Expanded deportation operations'...more just grab a brown person off the street for no reason and ship them to a concentration camp and make it impossible to find out where they went.

Yes. These are retards trying to get back into the country with an expired visa. Try doing that even with an expired passport.
There's a reason airports and airlines check your passport on the way out of the country, and most usually require at least 6 months left until the PP expires, even though you need no USA passport to leave the country.
The reason is (in part) so fucking idiots don't leave with expired PP, or with valid PP that expire while they're away, and then can't get back into the USA.

The hiccup; media says the cars were not marked, the cars had no cop lights (no flashers of any kind), the guy they shot, the driver, was not the person they were after and he, the driver, did not know the car that was pinning him was a cop car. Oh, the ICE agents didn't have body cams either. Can't find a clear statement from ICE on any of the above.

Obama's first term actually was fairly aggressive in terms of deportations. But things changed, really, in 2013.
That's when the Obama administration started counting border turnaways as deportations and massively reduced interior enforcement.
The dual-scare of 2010 (actual loss) and 2012 (stolen presidential election) seem to have convinced the Democrat Party that they needed to massively import a new migrant class to oppress the white working class that had turned on them.

Most likely, deportation numbers (forced + voluntary + self + unrecorded self) are about 4-6 million total.
Assume Biden brought in 20 million (very high end estimate, usually it's assumed to be closer to 12 million), Trump deports them all by the end of his term.

The lies to justify this correlation are:
1- ICE is arresting innocent brown people, so they can't vote because they're in concentration camps
2- 1 above SCARES legal brown people from being in public, because they might get "abducted", so they won't go vote.
3- probably something about ICE murdering innocent people like Renee Good, too

I assume total from the 60s to today is about 100,000,000.
It took 60 years to get here.
It's not going to get undone in 4.
However, Trump is making real progress and no Democrat control of the House post 2026 is going to stop it because the OBBB fully budgeted and appropriated DHS and ICE through 2028 (plus even more spending for support mechanisms in the stuff that got passed earlier this year in the partial government shutdown that Democrats got nothing from).
Posted by: TheJamesMadison, discovering British horror with Hammer Films at July 29, 2026 01:51 PM (LKG41)

I think for some, that live in blue sanctuary states, a lot has not changed and perhaps even illegal increased in their area due to fleeing areas where ICE is welcomed and supported by local and state governments. When I see the nics that claim nothing is happening, almost all of them in the past have admitted to living in blue states.
If the Democrats run your state or even localities like Nashville, they try every single means to keep even criminal illegals in the US--drop criminal charges, ignore benefit laws restricting those to US citizens, or even in some cases, like Houston, trying to illegally pay immigration attorneys for illegals using public money.
This is a Democrat political system desperately trying to prevent imminent loss of population, money, and political power. Essentially a war without a formal declaration or much shooting yet.

The secret that apparently no one knows about immigration enforcement is that DHS does, at best, half of the arrests. It's probably less.
The majority is done by local cops with 287g agreements who find out legal status upon a standard interaction, arrest them, call ICE, and wait for some DHS personnel to show up.
Texas is heavily invested in the system and represent the largest plurality of deportations in the nation.
The entire west coast have state laws barring local cops from entering these agreements.

Hasn't that been the "accepted number" since the '90s?"
In the early 2000's it was usually reported in the MSM as an estimated 15-20 million, which seemed about right and admitted the uncertainty to eh actual number. Then when it became an issue it sudden dropped to 11 million based on some BS studies using no hard data to come up with a politically acceptable number. It has even been reported at 11 million even after Biden allowed in another 10-12 million.
Actual number can be no less than 40 million based on US demographics

ICE is very active in CA, but it's more localized. They have yuge detention centers there. ICE is most active in southern CA. Not so much in the North.

So imagine in area in CA where the census counted half citizens/half illegals vs the same area in TX.
The CA district even if it does stop illegals from voting still gives one rep for half the citizens the TX rep serves.

Yes.
I strongly suspect that the lack of immigration national news since Goode and Pretti were two fold.
The first was the the Bovino and Noem show did end. Mullin took a different tact and there were fewer convoys. Smaller teams going in and doing the work.
The other is that the issue probably didn't actually focus group that well. White leftists making asses of themselves (which hasn't stopped, just the national coverage of it) just played poorly, so the media found another squirrel to focus on.

Goes without saying that the real issue here is lawlessness, and a mindset that views lawlessness as OK. A mindset that has rotted the institutions, the "courts", and much of the populace, from brainless suburban/blue haired moral narcissists to business owners to public "employees".

I thought it was the other way around, and it's a three-carrot scheme, where in addition to cash and transportation, they also remain eligible for future legal entry (unlike if they're forcibly deported). They just have to go through the formal (potentially years-long) process, applying for entry from outside the country and waiting for permission like a normal person.
Maybe I just assumed based on what I thought would make sense, but that's what I thought I remembered reading somewhere.

The BIG picture of the cost of ONE illegal in the state of CA annually is roughly $7K. That's what is admitted Free everything from healthcare to housing...all illegal. Illegal Medicaid dollars spent, and probably more than reported plus their illegal vote.
House Budget Committe states CA totals of illegals are $30 billion by taxpayers.
Healthcare: $8.4 billion. Education: $3.4 billion. Policing/court/jail: $4.4 billion. In ONE State.
This money does not include the Nick Shirley discovered fraud of illegals that climbs to hundreds of millions.
In my opinion $3k is NOTHING to get them out of here!

Deep State Mafia Boss Anthony "Little Bones" Fauci Pleads the Fifth
This is what I thought he would do.
But now I wonder if he has any legal right to invoke the Fifth. He was pardoned for all crimes he committed for a ten (or eleven?) year period, 2014 to 2024. Therefore, speaking about his activities then does not incriminate him as he cannot be prosecuted. He could admit the broke every law in America, but that's not self-incrimination, because he can't be prosecuted for what he says. He could be prosecuted for crimes since then, but not for crimes between 2014 - 2024. When a court or Congress wants testimony from someone invoking the Fifth, they will grant immunity for that testimony, meaning it cannot be used in any other body in the future for purposes of punishing the testifier. Then testimony can be compelled, as there is no Fifth Amendment right just to keep a secret because you want to keep it a secret. But Congress doesn't even have to immunize Fauci -- Biden's Magic Autopen already did. So he should be compelled to testify, or be held physically in contempt until he agrees to talk. (I see now other people are talking about this.) But I doubt the GOP has the balls to do this. Update: Rand Paul wants to hold "Little Bones" Fauci in contempt:Libs of TikTokUpdate: Elric the Blade points out that Fauci can say he is invoking his right not to incriminate himself for state crimes. His pardon only covers federal crimes. He can also say that his pardon hasn't been accepted by a court as effective. Meanwhile, Senators are roasting this criminal pig and mass murderer.

FAUCI PARDON: NOT BULLETPROOF On the Pardon: Before the hearing @SenRandPaul
a former senior Justice Department prosecutor told me there are three, viable legal strategies to challenge the preemptive Biden pardon. But there is no easy path. One strategy calls for charging Fauci with a crime, with the expectation he would file a motion with the court to dismiss based on the pardon. This could open the door to challenging the sweeping pardon's viability and years of litigation. Another strategy involves Congress. Because Fauci has theoretically been preemptively pardoned against past and future criminal charges related to his NIH work, it can be argued that Fauci has no plausible claim to the 5th Amendment, the right against self-incrimination. If Fauci takes the Fifth at Senator Paul's hearing (which he has) the committee could seek to compel Fauci's testimony. A finding of contempt could follow. Finally, one of Fauci's closest associates has been criminally charged. With pressure and the right incentives he might be flipped and become a cooperating witness. Dr. David Morens, who was a senior advisor to Fauci at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, was indicted on multiple charges including conspiracy and obstruction, including destruction, alteration or falsification of federal records. Along with allegations that personal email accounts were used to evade the Freedom of Information Act, this could be a powerful motivator. From media reports: Dr. David Morens has pleaded not guilty to all five federal criminal counts. NOTE: @SenRickScott
has just raised the Morens case. Fauci continues to take the Fifth. Consider subscribing to@C__Herridge. Your support makes our independent reporting possible. **This has been reposted to correct TYPO fourth line
Hans Mahncke
@HansMahncke Perhaps surprisingly, both the New York Times and the Washington Post have now published articles on the Fauci diaries. Unsurprisingly, both are complete whitewashes. They sanitize his record and reduce the criticism to the suggestion that he may have been a little too narcissistic. Neither outlet confronts the diaries' central revelation, which is that Fauci repeatedly said one thing in private and another in public. That applies to the possibility of a laboratory origin, the supposed role of the Wuhan seafood market, the Wuhan lab's extraordinarily dangerous gain-of-function research, the infection fatality rate, dissenting scientists such as Jay Bhattacharya, and much more. This was their chance to admit that they were wrong to trust Fauci, that he was a charlatan, and that they had failed their readers by acting as establishment propaganda outlets rather than journalists. They could even have blamed Fauci and washed their own hands of the entire scandal. But they cannot bring themselves to do even that.
Update: Rand Paul thinks that Fauci's destruction of official records is prosecutable. I guess maybe this took place after the period of his super-pardon.

He was pardoned for federal crimes only that existed at the time of the pardon. He can still be prosecuted under state laws. Plus, there are some lingering issues about the validity of his pardon.
The pardon also covers only federal crimes that existed at the time of the pardon. So, if Fauci started answering questions now, possibly that could be perjury or some other process crime that would not be covered by the pardon.
His lawyers almost certainly told him to shut his little drooling mouth.

Potential Fauci Rebuttals
1. The constitutionality of a blanket pardon covering crimes not yet charged has never been ruled on by SCOTUS. Therefore, he could still be charged under the theory that such a pardon is illegitimate.
2. Autopen. It is claimed that Biden didn't have anything to do with the pardon. Therefore, it is not a real pardon and he could still be charged with crimes.

1) Rand Paul should sue Fauci for defamation. Fauci said the statements that Paul made were "slanderous." A civil case would be outside of the autopen pardon and could force Fauci to tell the truth.
2) No reason for the Administration not to pursue a pardon is no good/pardon is good strategy contemporaneously. If the pardon is good, then it is contempt of Congress to invoke the Fifth at a hearing. If it is not, well that really makes things interesting!
3) Fauci needs to be billed for his US Marshall bodyguards and drivers that were given to him after he resigned.
4) I really wish someone would ask him that line from that "Let's Make A Dope Deal" Cheech and Chong bit "Okay, Bob, what is your name, Bob?"

It might also explain why we were sending money and techology to the frigging CCP to develop bio weapons.

Though I agree that the likelihood of any real consequences are virtually zero, I take a tiny comfort that the process is the punishment. His six lawyers aren't cheap. His megalomanic behavior, which was assumed before, has been proven with the publication of his diary entries which he had tried to delete.
Sure, there will be masked idiots lighting candles with his face on them for years to come. But his legendary status is being tarnished, if only a bit, and that, given his ego, must be almost unbearable.

Because he has a pardon Fauci can't plead the Fifth so he has to testify truthfully. Paul could set him up with a perjury trap. Or Fauci would need to sing like a canary.
But hold on -- Fauci might argue that Joe's pardon is only for federal crimes so he still has exposure on past crimes and needs the Fifth. This gets into the weeds, and I'm not a criminal lawyer.
Paul's next move is to hold Fauci in criminal contempt and jail him until he testifies. This happens to journalists who are protecting their sources.
I'll take the bet that no judge will interfere in this.
Going to jail is for contempt may be Fauci's only move.

At the end of the hearing , Rand missed a golden opportunity to have Fauci cuffed(poor/no planning Rand) for contempt and taken to the jail in the Senate basement —so much so that the mid-terms could have switched back to the R’s favour if had done so.
MAGA demands traitorous, crooked asses be in jail. Today could have been a phenomenal step in the right direction for the Republic and the R’s in the mid terms.

Congress can and has in the past offered limited use immunity to force someone to testify and can issue contempt of Congress if they don't. See McGrain v. Daugherty and Poindexter v. US.
North and Poindexter had their convictions nullified upon appeal as Lawrence Walsh, the independent prosecutor under that now defunct statute, did not sufficiently separate his case from the "use immunity" testimony of Poindexter.

The Soviet Nuclear Threat Reduction Act of 1991, commonly known as the Nunn-Lugar Act, authorized U.S. funding to secure and dismantle weapons of mass destruction in former Soviet states. A key component of this legislation was the provision of employment for former Soviet weapons scientists, with the International Science and Technology Center (ISTC) established to hire 58,000 scientists for peaceful research.
The program initially targeted the post-Soviet states rather than the Eastern Bloc broadly, focusing on Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, and Kazakhstan. It facilitated the transfer of nuclear warheads from these nations to Russia and funded the conversion of military industries to civilian use. In 2004 and 2008, Congress extended the program's scope to include counterproliferation efforts and security assistance in other regions outside the former Soviet Union.

We are a small group that has always at the very least suspected all of this. The majority of the country does not. Exposing what we call the Deep State is crucial if we are ever going to get support to tear it down.

Nothing will happen to Fauci. Maybe a handful of people were swayed by the release of his diary and the fact that he answered zero questions pertaining to the lies he spewed to the public and how MILLIONS around the world died because of it.
Most who knew, knew. Those who don't, won't be swayed.
This was a waste of tax dollars, unfortunately.
I'd love to see the evil, Satanic little f*cker brought in front of a global tribunal, found guilty and hanged by the neck until dead in the public forum.
IF Rand Paul were serious, he'd follow this bullshit up with one that I don't believe got a pardon, and that's Deborah Birx.

This and other things. Ukraine was one of the early recipients of this money as the Sov Union had a major Biological Warfare research lab in Kharkov among other places.
And eventually the grift became literally doing research into forbidden topics (done on foreign soil so deniability) such as gain of function for biological warfare and CRISPR use to do that.
The justification under the Biological Warfare Treaty was research is allowed for 'defensive' purposes but that is utterly indistinguishable from research for offensive purposes. Knowledge cannot be separated.

Nope. Only federal crimes. Civil lawsuits are still on the table. State AGs have civil statues as well they could use. Almost all states have some version of Section 5 of the FTC Act that gives AGs very broad authority to investigate and bring civil lawsuits. It's not a criminal statute, so no chance of prison, but the monetary penalties can be stiff.

The pardon power dates back to the era of the British monarch over the colonies. Since the king was the titular head of teh courts, and literally had personal immunity (sovereignty)--he could extend forgiveness for any and all crimes. This was frequently done after rebellions where multiple violations of the king's law happened but in the interest of quelling societal unrest, the king pardoned all.
An early test of the American pardon was G. Washington pardoning participants in the Whisky Rebellion. Later you had the blanket pardons of the Southern rebels which led to Carter's blanket pardon of Vietnam draft evaders.

It still doesn't mean Fauci could be prosecuted on that evidence. If the pardon is absolute for all federal crimes (even those previously undiscovered) then it won't matter.
What WOULD make a difference is prosecuting the subordinates and giving them all MAX sentences, sequentially served.
Then, let them out before they start their sentences and let them handle Fauci in their own way. With a wink and a nod that justice for Fauci will reduce their sentences.

Blame what on Fauci? His dictatorial decrees to the world to which everyone must subscribe? No, because that overlooks
- the massive, ignorant blindness among our political class as they mandated compliance to Fauci's directives;
- the massive, ignorant blindness among our healthcare industry as they sought enforcement of Fauci's directives under the laws and regulations passed by legislators and City Council folks;
- the massive, ignorant blindness of business leaders as they succumbed with scarcely a murmur about the restrictions of Fauci's directives;
- the massive, ignorant blindness among academia and educational systems - persistent to this day - as they dutifully re-spouted lie after lie after lie about the COVID mess.
And on and on. And then that all gets swept away under the heading "it was a mass hallucination." Which explains nothing, and should not be allowed to exonerate anything. The powers exercised against the people were far broader than those espoused by just a little poison dwarf shirking his role.

If only. I'll repeat what I posted the other day.
My wife passed away in August of last year. Cause of death was Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (TTP). She had taken the J&J vaccine when it became available, which was mid-2002.
Initial onset of symptoms began in May of last year. After a multitude of tests, her specialists could not determine the cause of her symptoms. She was hospitalized in August, placed in ICU and passed away 5 days later.
NIH insists that there is presently no known link between TTP and the J&J vaccine. I call bullshit.
TTP is caused by a deficiency in a certain blood enzyme which causes the platelets in the blood to cluster (clot) and disperse throughout the body causing significant damage to internal organs if not diagnosed early and treated. If you'll recall, the J&J vaccine was pulled due to reported medical cases of significant clotting.
Early on, certain medical experts who opposed the rush to vaccination stated that they expected reports of vaccine injury/death to peak in the 3-5 year period following vaccination. My wife took the vaccine in 2022 and died in 2025.

Fauci's a malignant, egomaniacal narcissist who needs appreciation and adoration like oxygen. While legal punishment is lacking at the moment, the social punishment and destruction of his legacy is catastrophic for his psyche. He was dressed down like few in American history have ever been, and this is just the opening salvo. His name is sh*t now and it won't be forgotten in spite of MFM attempts to whitewash and bury things.
The entire planet knows what Fauci did and his own diary is every "conspiracist's" vindication. That's at least one reason you go on with the hearing. It's not insignificant. The evidence will last decades. It will empower those who "question science/government". It will crush Fauci emotionally.

There are other Deep State centers, like NIH, that need a Pulte to disassemble.

Exactly. As I've been saying all along, there is no way Fauci could have done this alone. This was run by the intel community or at least supported.
Much of the federal government was weaponized to convince the country this was a naturally occuring virus that required extreme steps including shutting down the entire country, masking everyone 7 x 24, forcing vaccines and on and on.
It also paved the way for mass mail in ballots that allowed for unprecedented election rigging. This stuff didn't happen in a vacuum and it wasn't just Fauci. He's a thread to a much bigger conspiracy that has taken many forms over the years but always ends up with screwing us and taking our freedoms.
Listen to that interview Catherine Herridge did with the CIA whistleblower. We are nowhere near the bottom of the rabbit hole.

He's such a sociopath, I think he'd have a kink for rubbing it in people's faces he screwed them over.
BUT, his narcissist side cannot bear the public backlash of people turning on "Saint Fauci." The women who bought his plushies and his votive candles will rage if they learn mom died alone in an infected retirement home, and she never had to.
So his ego will always win out.

The bottom line is post WWII, the intel deep state community started immediately engaging in illegal acts that they justified under National Defense. It became a nasty habit to illegal surveil average citizens, use unwitting humans as targets for research, assassinate people, pay off and employ journalists, engage in manipulation of society, launch coups in friendly countries, etc. etc. etc.
After the Soviet Union justification died, rather than reaim the establishment at China, they decided to aim this National Security Weapon at the American people with GHWB and Clinton at the head of that effort. 9/11 supercharged the effort and GWB played along as did Obama.
When Trump astonished the Deep State, that is when the shit began to hit the fan--too many lies, too many illegal acts, too many instances that threatened the establishment with a permanent loss of power and perhaps even being subjected to justice, meant he is an direct threat to everything they have done in the past and all their power going forward.

Fauci's barely masked contempt slipped a couple times. Once when he displayed a hint of smirk early in the hearing and when his faced flushed when Sen. Hawley was ripping him up.
There was two other moments that this hearing rattled him. The first was how his hands shook when reading his opening statement and a period when, if I remember correctly, his eyes were darting around while Sen. Moreno cursed his existence.

Contract extensions, renaming, amendments, referencing prior (2014 & before) contracts?
AWARDED in 2014 by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under grant number R01AI110964, titled "Understanding the Risk of Bat Coronavirus Emergence." The multi-year federal award (total grant) to EcoHealth Alliance totaled roughly $3.7 million.
Approximately $598,500 of those funds were funneled as a subaward directly to the Wuhan lab in China.
Per audits, exactly where the remaining $3,138,860 of that $3.73 million NIH grant (R01AI110964) went? EcoHealth Alliance distributed federal funds to 'other regional partners' to assist with localized biology & logistics: Wuhan University School of Public Health received over $200,000 & $50,000+ was budgeted to East China Normal University to assist in geographic data modeling & ecological analysis of viral hotspots.
In the end, EcoHealth got most.
Strict federal procurement and clearance rules are governed by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), the Procurement Integrity Act, and specific agency clearance threshold.
How the hell was that adhered to by NIH?

Fauci is so shook, this brilliant doktor czar wizard (garden gnome) that he had to read his Fifth. Pathetic little worm. He could not memorize those words.
If nothing else, a victory to beat his narcissim into the flat affect of a failed egomaniac sociopath. No fire in those beady little eyes today as his covid mask fell.
His only regret is getting caught.
I do hope that even stupid retarded Dims can see that IF he was ever telling the truth in the past he'd fight these charges. Pardon or not. IF he had standing. IF he hadn't put his ego before the public. IF he knew what he was talking about. IF he cared about the people he was supposed to protect and heal.
It was a game for him. A chess game for control. How far could he go in the game of masks, social distancing, pushing poison, denying families their families as they died.
He looked a complete and utter fool today with his pack o' lawyers (who don't care as long as they, like him, get their $$$).

Wednesday Morning Rant
Give credit to more sensible Democrats like Sen. John Fetterman and old Clinton hand James Carville who see the DSA slipping into the DNC like a skinsuit, and recognize the danger...The danger isn't hard to recognize. It has a great big red flashing arrow reading "DANGER" pointing right at it. What is astounding is that many seem to be surprised by it.
How can men like Carville - or even those on the right (pseudo or otherwise) - be surprised by these developments? The PJ Media article touches on it, albeit as a simple lament:
The advantage we hold -- at least for now -- over the DSA, is that they have spokesweasels like Romer going to TV, actually trying to sell a radical agenda wholesale instead of piecemeal. Today's voters won't have it, but what about tomorrow's voters, the ones who were never taught American history or civics?This is why those generations are not taught anything recognizable as history or civics. This was the point. This is why the Left did their Gramscian March. The March has been grinding on for decades, designed to bring us to where we are now. The core issue - and it's one that has been obvious for at least a decade, even for those only paying casual attention - is that the March has to end eventually. If they spend decades subverting, capturing and refocusing institutions, they must take their gains at some point. The March depends on a stage of final conversion. In that final stage, they collect their winnings and use them to formally do away with the old system and replace it with the new one. Once most means of effective opposition are destroyed, they must formalize what they built. The Long March must be followed by the Rapid Conversion. The sticking point is the question of when. Not everyone in the coalition will be on board at the same time and universally agree that the time to attempt Conversion has come. The last time it seemed to come up in earnest was under Obama, and the non-Conversionists won that round. The March continued, albeit a bit a faster. The drive to Conversion was accelerated, but Conversion was not attempted. There is a generational issue at play, as well, in that the people to whom they've promised Conversion will eventually demand it. When that time comes, the Marchers have to deliver and become Conversionists or they will be destroyed by the Conversionists they so carefully bred. The conflict over Conversion must occur because first a plurality and then possibly an outright majority will demand it if the March was successful. It will be brutal and violent and filled with infighting, but it will have to happen no matter what. It's the logical end state of the March. Carville and those like him believe that the Conversion should for now remain where it has always been: in the future. Those in this camp believe that the March is not yet done, there is not yet enough control to pursue Conversion, and that attempting it now is high-risk and may result in defeat and it is reckless for the entitled Party youngsters to conflate their privileged status with actual power when the Marchers are still the rightful shot-callers. The DSA and those like them believe that those like Carville are fuddy-duddy Boomers who don't know what time it is, that Conversion needs to happen now or it will fail because the March is finished and is increasingly subject to outsider threats by regressive sub-human wreckers - and besides, they're owed it. The Marchers promised Conversion, and it's time to deliver - or else. I don't know which camp is correct, but it was obvious that they had to reach this point. The Marchers spent decades cultivating radical, amoral (at best) monster babies and their efforts brought stupendous success. They got an entire generation of monster babies, and it was a mega-generation at that. The Millennials are a radical generation, lovingly crafted by the Marchers to be aggressively progressive - and it worked. The Marchers developed them and promised them victory. Now that they're middle-aged, the Millennials are moving into positions of real power and as they move up, they want to realize what they were promised - and they have the extra motivation of an aggressive push from below by their even more radical (if numerically smaller and much less monolithic) younger cohorts. The March is not yet quite in the rearview mirror, but it is in its endgame. Conversion will be attempted, and the only remaining open questions are "when" and "will it work?" I don't know, but I think Carville is whistling past the graveyard and knows it. He and his kind spent decades promising Conversion - and their monster babies are getting tired of waiting.

2020 was the first attempt to do that. They wanted a complete collapse of the economy worldwide and civil conflict. That's why they were grooming red cadre military guys like Milley, et al. They'd swoop in as the strong men and install a 'temporary security' government. 2020 was an attempt at a neo-marxist revolution.

>>Researchers say the nonprofits under scrutiny engage in a dynamic known as "narrative convergence," echoing the propaganda of foreign adversaries. In a new report, the Network Contagion Research Institute, based in Princeton, N.J., documented how the Democratic Socialists of America sent delegations to China, Cuba and Venezuela and then, upon returning to the United States, deployed slogans at protests that mirror the anti-U.S. rhetoric of those governments.

Because the vast majority of Republicans offer nothing.
No alternative message.

Because we don't have leaders*, we have managers.
They didn't "come up" through America--they were born in the C-suite.
Their loyalty is to their caste, not to their country.
* except Trump. And oh how much they hate him for that.
So much of their seething hatred is born from exposing that they'd rather safely manage the decline of America than take a stand, any stand at all, to protect and save her.
Look at where their passion flashes, where their blood shows:

The difference is the old standard-bearer of Democratic socialism was old, ugly, angry Bernie Sanders almost incoherently screeching about "Wall Street." He was like the frowning, scowling, smelly uncle screaming at trees that nobody wanted to invite to family events.
But even then, Bernie probably woulda been the Democrap nominee in 2016 -- if he didn't take a dive for Hillary.
The newer gen of Dem socialists are younger, mostly better looking, more dynamic, with generally more positive messages, and much more media-savvy. Of course this is a much better "pitch" to voters.
It also comes at the right time when the country is staggeringly wealthy and there's an entire younger generation of over-educated but under-qualified "downwardly mobile elites" who want the CEO's salary but don't want to work for it.
The old decrepit wing of the Democrap party will cling to power until it's ripped from their dying hands. But that day is coming. The GOP has a good oppotunity here, but the odds that they will blow it are high.

Right now Democrats are simply calling them extreme.
Check back a little later when it's "they might be extreme but they have a message and are getting traction, we would be crazy to ignore them"
Then "what might seem extreme to us is not extreme to people who have grown up very unhappy in capitalism. They have only seen inequality and they want better things for all."
Then - "you know, at one time, the dominant parties thought Civil Rights was extreme. Maybe it's just a matter of perspective."
Etc etc etc and on and on and yawn and yawn
I already have the whole movie in my head. That's just the next few. There are 6 to 8 more beyond that but it might depend on how well the op is going, and if the jolt to the left is getting traction.

If older known Democrats start approving too openly and too quickly, it can look inorganic.
Also if the operation fails and the country rejects DSA wholesale, then they all approved it and have nowhere to go from there.
Having people like Jones and Carville distancing gives them plausible deniability as these first months of the operation get rolling. The DSA is what every single "made" Democrat wants for America. Remember they laughed while our cities burned. They have tried and succeeded at jailing and killing people who merely disagree with them.

This is a foreign funded operation. This is China and the malignant countries in its sphere which includes Venezuela, China and likely Iran funding an insurgency in our elections.

Depends which working class you are talking about.
The "civil service" working class -- people in government working blue-collar type jobs -- are big on DSA because DSA is basically Very Big Government.
When you work for the government, you want a avaricious, ever-expanding government because that's who pays your salary and gives you raises. DSA is your ticket to that.
The working class that rejects DSA is the same kind of working class that's been gravitating to MAGA: private-sector working class that sees Very Big Government as a threat to their livelihoods and freedoms.

Because he knew Fauci wouldn’t answer anything and he made Fauci look really guilty by pleading the 5th, especially with the pardon. I think it was pretty smart, except that our betters in the MSM did not give it coverage - because they were all in on the Fauci Lionizing Train.
If anyone on the left was capable of original thought, it would be rough right now. Their whole existence is just not real- hating on the mouth breathers is how they felt superior and that just vanished. Luckily for them, they don’t think for themselves so they can remain blissfully ignorant in their blue hair world.

Agree and I think the whole thing was basically a big dog-and-pony show to embarrass Doogie Houser and break cracks in his armor. Rand Paul is no dummy. He knows that any real punishment for Doogie is wishcasting. But Rand despises this dingleberry -- and rightfully so -- and wants to see him embarrassed and squirming like the worm he is.

That means we know two things. Democrats are about to become much more open about being a communist party. And two, if past (and current, looking at you SAVE) performance is an indicator of future success, Republicans aren't gonna put up a whole lot of a fight.

Unless those Senators decide to join in. And that goes for the GOP as well. I'd figure on any number of them joining up with the DSA if meant keeping their cushy job.

I'm old(er) and view Carville as just trying to keep riding high on his War Room persona & antics of yesteryear. He, Bill & Hillary, George Stephanopoulos, many other old American heads still floating around are done governing anything & anyone - unless they're sending big money.
Fetterman is from PA, had young parents who worked for their success. He attended great schools, married a woman who came with her mom & brother to the US illegally, & they now have 3 kids in private school. But ALL in their household routinely interface with 'common' people.
Millennials are a different, crafted species altogether. In institutional power, they may have deeply progressive views on climate change, economic inequality, and social justice, but their methods will shift toward policy, legislation, and bureaucratic management. Much of their political focus may be structural reforms to affordability & family support systems & rewriting internal rules of governance & corporate culture instead of tearing it down.
But their children will also be quite different governing:

Because he has a pardon Fauci can't plead the Fifth so he has to testify truthfully. Paul could set him up with a perjury trap. Or Fauci would need to sing like a canary.
But hold on -- Fauci might argue that Joe's pardon is only for federal crimes so he still has exposure on past crimes and needs the Fifth. This gets into the weeds, and I'm not a criminal lawyer.
Paul's next move is to hold Fauci in criminal contempt and jail him until he testifies. This happens to journalists who are protecting their sources.
I'll take the bet that no judge will interfere in this.
Going to jail is for contempt is Fauci's best move.

There is no precedent of testing the limits or contours of a Presidential Pardon, so he's under no jeopardy.
But that does not mean the limits of his pardon should not be challenged.

Actually, for some number of them, they think the Conversion is already done. They wanted to halt the train at the last stop. They just wanted to knock down enough of the old to get to that point, then they wanted to get off. These are the people that idiots claim are "red-pilled" because they only want gays and not trans-folk - like JK Rowling. They're still socialists or Progressives, but they didn't want the full Gramscian March. And most of them don't realize that once they get the train going to the stop they desire, it has to keep going - going back to their stop will eventually bring them right back here some time in the future. It has to. That is the purpose of the journey.

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

Exposure times for early photography were long compared to today. It was hard to maintain a smile that long so they seldom did. I've seen portraits where a metal brace was used to keep the head still. Aside from that, I wonder if smiling in a photo portrait back then was considered inappropriate.

It's called sound bites. Great for campaign ads and slogans. All Fauci has to do is read the quote in front of him about invoking his 5A rights. He leaves the hearing and gets to have an expensive meal in DC at some swanky establishment where he'll be feted as a hero.
I hope this waste of skin enjoys the limelight, the riches, and fame as a supposed reward for his crimes. There will be a time when his life will be demanded of him. Julia Roberts fawning all over him won't help him much when he has to stand before God and answer for his life.

What do you think about the concept of starving, asshole?
The Marxist-Leninist Soviet was profoundly retarded, but they weren’t under any illusions about paying people (with what, from whom??) not to work.
They assigned you a job. It was a crime to refuse.
They didn’t countenance shoplifting either. A single berry of wheat in your possession got you (and your family) shot.

Many people who thought Fauci was literally a god are just starting to hear the truth and the media is going to make it even harder. But the truth will get out. The documents aren't going away. Neither is the anger.

I thought so, too, but apparently this is how this family were. There was some blah blah by AI how this painting would "brighten a hallway." Of a morgue, I reckon.

Fear is a powerful motivator. The media spent 6 months saying the virus could live for 12 days on a surface. It was a bioweapon so it was preposterous but somewhat believable.
People can be controlled through fear. The idea thar they can't scare people again with something else is unfortunately wishful thinking.
You also can't make compliant/owned governors and mayors keep thing open and running. And at that point what do you do? Organize and demand people open things? How far will that go?

Henri Fantin-Latour
La Famille Dubourg is an 1878 oil painting by French artist Henri Fantin-Latour that depicts his wife, fellow painter Victoria Dubourg, alongside her family. The artwork is currently housed at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, France.
Maybe because of the formal gathering & lack of animated expressions, it seems mom & dad are being shaken down for their last dollar. Would pass hanging of today's art selection.

GOP lawmakers are now demanding a bipartisan investigation with subpoena power, saying the governor's internal probe is too narrow to capture the full scope of the problem.
Republicans say they warned for years that automatic voter registration relied on an "honor system" with no real safeguards — and were dismissed as conspiracy theorists.

Not enough people for it to matter, and nobody who has ever spent a moment themselves thinking that Fauci is a national hero is about to change their minds when they see him invoking the 5th under questioning from those mean old republicans.

My husband frequently looks the same. (Nah).
Probably a man in MN with anti-ICE wife and lesbian daughters.

I just started watching, so perhaps it was said earlier, but pleading the 5th is NEVER a good look.
Who pleads the 5th? Mafiosi.

Precisely this. You cannot reason with fear. Cultivating fear was a strategy to keep people in a mindless herd, immune to any contrary evidence.
Drives me bonkers.

Counterpoint: No, it isn't. It's the same worn-out bullshit theater production that I've seen approximately fourteen million times since I became old enough to know what the Congress is.

You must not be too old. It is sad that the Enemy has trapped you into despair, which is where they want you. While you are demoralized, I am enraged. I will not join you.
It is frustrating; I want to see this demonic garden gnome strangled by his own viscera, but we must be resolved to battle for Truth in every theater using every means at our disposal.
As said above, this just a piece of the effort towards a reconning. Paraphrasing Churchill, it is not the end, but is the beginning of the end.
