Wednesday Night ONT - June 17, 2026 [TRex]

20260615-IMG_20260615_082331678_HDR.jpg

Good evening Horde. The time has come for mid-week shenanigans. The bar is open and freshly re-stocked.

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. This is a Tucker, Candace, Megyn and Bill Kristol free zone. Please.

Are you concerned that the problems in your crawl space might interfere with your ability to comment with brevity and wit? You can overcome. (Could be worse. You could have snakes in your ductwork.)

[Top photo: CityCenter, Washington, DC - enjoy the mystery click but any suggestions of other alternatives or candidates?]

Yum! Brands, Inc. enters into agreements to sell Pizza Hut for $2.7 billion

LOUISVILLE, Ky., June 16, 2026 - Yum! Brands, Inc. (NYSE: YUM) ("Yum!" or the "Company") today announced that it has entered into definitive agreements to sell Pizza Hut for $2.7 billion in the aggregate, subject to certain purchase price adjustments.

Pizza Hut, excluding Mainland China ("Pizza Hut Ex-China"), will be acquired by LongRange Capital ("LongRange"), a private equity firm with a customer-centric and operationally oriented approach, and Pizza Hut in Mainland China ("Pizza Hut China") will be acquired by Yum China Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: YUMC; HKEX: 9987) ("Yum China").

Under the terms of the agreement with LongRange, Yum! will sell Pizza Hut Ex-China to LongRange for approximately $1.5 billion. Additionally, Yum! has the opportunity to receive an earn-out of $75 million by 2030.

Under the terms of the agreement with Yum China, Yum! will sell Pizza Hut China to Yum China for approximately $1.2 billion.

I'm not familiar with LongRange Capital but they are reportedly the majority owner of 24 hour fitness. Just bring back the old school Pizza Huts and all will be well.

Kangaroo on the loose in field near Montreal

Animal rescuers in Quebec are asking the public to keep an eye out for a juvenile kangaroo on the loose along Montreal's South Shore.

The Galahad SPCA said the kangaroo was first reported Wednesday being kept improperly in a stable, and officials believe it may have been being kept illegally.

The SPCA said no kangaroo permits had been issued in the area.

The Miller Zoo has offered to give the kangaroo a new home, but SPCA officials said Quebec's Ministry of the Environment told them that a permit would be required to capture and transport the kangaroo.

Kangaroo permits must be a big deal in Montreal. Glad that officials are on the job to ensure that a helpful zoo knows is currently has no permit to house a kangaroo. Zoos need to get specific permits for each animal? I guess that which is not specifically permitted is prohibited. Glad Canada has solved all of its other problems so that it can focus on kangaroo permits. I can hear the people of Australia laughing...

License Plate Cameras Will Soon Track Phones, Wearables, Infotainment, and Even Your Pets

A new kind of license-plate-reading camera will also scrape the smart devices you take with you, and wrap all that data in a nice little bow for law enforcement and the government

Defense contractor Leonardo is promoting a new technology called SignalTrace that will package plate cameras with sensors that can scrape unique identifiers tied to your smart devices and make that data available to law enforcement.

A recent report by 404 Media dives into the objective of SignalTrace and how it's being marketed to authorities. Police, border security, and other government agencies already comprise Leonardo's customer base, and with this technology, those clients seek to correlate footage from these cameras to phones, tablets, wearables, AirTags, and, naturally, the electronics inside cars themselves.

If SignalTrace can pick up your Bluetooth headphones, you can be damn sure it'll also be looking out for your vehicle's 5G hotspot, infotainment system, and even its tire pressure monitoring sensors. Hell, the company includes pet microchips as a potential entry point to tracking.

What could possibly go wrong? Faraday bags and paper maps anyone?

Niche YouTube Channel of the Week

Tonight's feature is SuperfastMatt. Matt is building a land speed race car in his garage that he drives at El Mirage and Bonneville. 635k+ subscribers and videos that often exceed a million views each. His videos are very well written descriptions of his adventures and projects. He has an automotive engineering background which equips him with technical knowledge and ability to design and build things. No artificial drama. He explains things very well and has a wonderfully dry sense of humor.

The videos are well done and thoughtful but not fancy. No highly polished graphics or editing. No clickbait. (You will notice a common theme in YouTube channels that get featured here.)

I think that blaster was the one that originally recommended following SuperfastMatt, so hat tip to blaster for the recommendation.

57 My niche YT channel is Mark Felton's military channel (primarily WWII). The most recent one I watched was "Was Hermann Göring Gay?"

https://tinyurl.com/55rvmy97

Short answer: No, despite the makeup, nail polish, kicky red boots, and comic opera bespoke uniforms, he was 100% man, baby! Count Ciaro (Mussolini's nephew) said he wore a fur coat "like a high-class prostitute wears to the opera".

The term is "homovestism", or getting squidgy wearing clothing as a sort of idealized hypermasculine version of oneself (in his case military drag). Always learning something new on Felton's channel!

123 I'm married to someone whose job used to be basically being Big Brother, and I'm a firm believer in the Fourth Amendment, so we've had some... spirited discussions. In my opinion, all three branches of government are flagrantly violating the Fourth Amendment. Congress refuses to actually reign in Big Tech, judges (especially in FISA) rubberstamp warrants they shouldn't, and the DoJ uses the FA to wipe its collective rear end.

On a far less depressing topic, Lil Pooky and Pookette are becoming connoisseurs of Overture of 1812 performances. Their current favorite is a community band in Spain that used an actual belltower and a cannon.

Stinkray isn't needed. Google knows where your phone is (sometimes even when location is turned off) and can see how fast or slow you're going, so can infer traffic flow.

Posted by: jim (in Kalifornia) at June 17, 2026 11:01 PM (l3cgK)

Of course not. Nor the Indians who owned slaves, black, white, and every other color.

The last slaves to be freed in what is now the United States were the slaves owned by the Tlingit tribe in Alaska, which occurred when US ownership of Alaska became effective on October 18, 1867. The Tlingit were definitely equal opportunity enslavers. They were running slave raids down the coast as far south as California, and more than one European vessel was seized and the crew enslaved.

Fuck "Juneteenth" up its stupid ass. It would be "Octeenth" if they really wanted to mark the day the last slaves were freed.

For example, the way that the Lakoda/Dakota (Sioux) claim that the Black Hills are THEIR "sacred land".

The Cheyenne, who got their asses kicked out of there by the Sioux before Whitey even showed up, disagree.

On the Anchorage/Cook Inlet side of the Chugach Mountains, the Alaska Natives are mostly Dena'ina (Indians) while on the Valdez/Prince William Sound side they're mostly Chugachigmiut (Eskimos).

Why? Because the Indians genocided the Eskimos on the Anchorage side.

Again, before Whitey even showed up.

All probably said already but...
Man. That signaltrace is quite the rabbit hole. Company run by one of Obama's ex-defense secrataries and a Clintonite. It's 85% owned by an Itallian defence contractor at that. American side sold to them during Clintons reign of assholishness.

274 > 40 acres and a mule was reparations.

From what I'm seeing, General Sherman offered that deal in the territory he controlled (though the mules were loaned by the Army, not given outright).

However, Andrew Johnson (aka "the worst President until Woodrow Wilson) clawed it back.

We have shitty looking Hispanics showing up trying to sell internet service and other things.

Three months ago a Hispanic with a gross scar down his face showed up at the kids house. He was trying to sell some cable service. His buddy was in the unmarked truck in the street.

The daughter-in-law told him they weren't interested. He was being persistent till he heard their big dog barking.

He said "oh you have a dog, I'm, leaving."

The kids front yard is completely fenced in. We have told them no one should have access to your yard. We gave them locks for the gates but it is an issue about the kid's friends coming over.

We told them they have phones and they should call before they come over.


What else can we do?

292 > though the mules were loaned by the Army, not given outright

It just occurred to me that the reason for this was likely that Sherman had a zillion mules that he no longer needed after the war was over.

Lending them to the black farmers meant that someone else would be responsible for feeding them and taking care of them, while ensuring they were still around to requisition back should the need arise. Much smarter than just killing them.

Sherman might've been a cold-blooded motherfucker, but no one ever said he wasn't shrewd.

I have two who served in Wisconsin regiments, who epitomize the extremes of war service. One became a Colonel of 21st Wisconsin, was captured along with his unit at Chickamauga (the 21st held their ground when the units on both sides of them split and ran, so they were completely cutoff). Spent a year in Libby prison in Richmond, escaped, ended up as one of Sherman's staff officers. Quite a career.

The other one, his cousin, signed up as a private, was shipped immediately to Spotsylvania, and was shot through the head the 2nd day he wore the uniform.

2. Said recipient will not receive any funds until they have set up a bank account in said African hellhole.

3. Said recipient immediately and permanently loses US citizenship and all rights thereof. Said recipient may never again enter the US or any US territory. The penalty for doing so is instant execution, no trial or any other arbitration.

I would add "with subsequent seizure of all assets" to point three, but we all know the reparation money would be spent in less than two weeks.

308 Monsoons are here in the White Mountains. Big rain for about an hour. Just a little water under the garage door. The first two years here, would have had a lot. New, bigger gutters into a 1200 gallon tank, and drilling foot wide and 4 foot deep holes filled with gravel into a couple of areas giving the water a way past the hard baked earth makes a difference.
First power outage of the season, too. It went out about a half hour into the storm, and returned about 3 hours later a half hour ago. If we follow history, we'll see.4 or 5 more before September, lasting 2 to 6 hours.
I want to get batteries added to my solar, but APS isn't making it easy. They require combo meter- main panels, which makes getting in between the grid and the wiring.to the house to switch off the grid and onto batteries almost impossible. I had one proposal.to move wiring around to allow this which left my 40 year old panel in place with no breakers in it, and reduced my service from 200A to 150A... and it was $$$$. That doesn't even start on the batteries, that's another 30-40k.

314 Sherman was shrewd, and also a cold blooded ass when he wanted to be. On his march to the sea through Georgia, he had two problems: One was a pursuing confederate army that was pursuing him, and he didn't want to stop and battle with them, because he was racing to the sea and didn't want to hinder his progress.

The second problem was a group of camp followers, said to be about 30,000 made up of deserters, runaway slaves, and general ruffians that stayed about 5 miles behind the main army. This was the group that caused most of the trouble looting the civilians. Sherman was sick of them but didn't want to waste time dealing with them either.

The army came to a large river, and had to build a pontoon bridge to get across. (Sherman's army was good at this) He got his army across, iirc about 40,000 men and their equipment, and then he saw the camp followers coming up, and he knew the Confederate pursuers were also coming up fast. So as soon as his army got across, he cut the pontoons loose and destroyed the bridge, so the Confederates and the camp followers could have fun killing each other and he wouldn't have to bother with either of them anymore.

2) By changing the time line older you is a different person and therefore never goes back or gives different advice causing a paradox.

Bothers me sometimes, when I think he must've thought me a failure for so long-- even when I wasn't.

360 I have been watching some Ewe Tube interviews of college students: the students can’t tell you how many minutes there are in a quarter of an hour, or name three countries besides the US, or what 77 + 33 is. They don’t even know when the country was founded! It’s depressing that these people got in to university. I suppose they are using LLM engines to write all their essays and using calculators instead of mental math. It’s obvious they don’t even know their times tables. Yes, I’m sure they are the dumbest of the dumb, but what are they doing in college?

365 Hearing and reading about Chicago is kinda odd for me because though I was born there, I never lived there beyond the first couple of weeks after I was born.

Both my parents were born there, my grandfathers who I never met because they skipped out on their respective families were born there, my uncle who was murdered there, so much family history there, even a US Supreme Court ruling that involves my dad's family. Yet, Chicago is not a place I ever want to visit.

He probably felt also that it was his fault, too. It is one of those things. It may have been his way of apologizing to you for not being able to make it turn out better. My dad had those moments too. you know, when I was at my worst.

Later on, at the end of his life, he was surprised at how close I was to him, and how I tried to help and support him. He told me I had turned out well and was a good son. I told him I blamed it all on him, which tickled his sense of humor.

430 I figured out why I was having the first of six weeks without some sort of issue to deal with: it's coming on Friday morning.

A dentist (I think a stupid one) watched a bump on my husband's gum by a lower front tooth for months. No biggie he said.

I sent him to a peridontist I researched & he is now having a gum transplant to the gum and I will be a nurse again for a few days. Transplant from roof of his mouth horror.

Tomorrow I will plan his diet of ice cream, yogurt, smoothies, grandmother's cure all egg custard, etc.

Dental stuff horrifies me & I cannot imagine. He will be doped up, so that's good. He's very compliant and a good patient.

This will be my last effort before they haul me off to the asylum to get him better.

I know it's not important but I do neet a cut and color hair appt next week if he's better. We also have a party to attend a week after this.

Supposedly the pain is "not as bad" as wisdom teeth removal, which he had in college & I had to deal with that as well with him and sons.

432 When XH1 and I were in Japan, we got a cat. "Presento!" from a pet store in Hachinohe. Beautiful lil calico kitty. She was a tiny terror, but was my buddy.

Couple years later, hub got orders to Hawaii-- a "W.H.O. rabies-free zone"-- with mandatory 120day quarantine. Heartbroken, I tried to find her a new home. One family seemed great & took her home, I cried for days! Then they called-- she wasn't eating, spent the whole time in a closet and wouldn't come out. So I went for a visit & she came out, ate, used the box... and I left again (in tears) but they called again and said it wasn't working out. Their young child was heartbroken, but understood.

Yay! Got my buddy back! And then-- vet papers/certificates for international travel, plane fare, quarantine costs... and then when XH & I split... more plane fare, car travel, moving... UGH!

So, he has a small spot he craps in in the yard. I take him out after the wife, who takes him out in the morning. We don't really comunicate much during the week. We work different shifts. Turns out he didn't shit for like 5 days. I was worried, wife was worried yet because we have such seperate times we work neither voiced there concerns to the other.
So I pick him up one time about noon and start to haul him out. I get to the door to the laundry room and a loud blurp noise emminate from the pug. A turd falls to the floor. I at once realized I had a projectile dog shit machine in my hands. I quickly try to open the door outside and failed. He starts slipping out of my hands as I try again. Suffice to say I spent the next 4 hours cleaning up liquid shit from walls and counters. It was like releasing a cork. My turning with a half dropped pug just increased the blast radius.

I still have PTSD from this. Poor pug will get his ass thrown out the window if I hear that gurgling again.

483 Well, I had an interesting night. About 11:40 I was watching an episode of Star Trek Enterprise when I heard somebody trying to force my front door open. I got to my desk where I keep my carry pistol. Saw his flashlight moving in my living room. Had him dead to rights in front of me, pistol aimed right at him. Chose to yell at him instead of shooting: "GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY HOUSE YOU PIECE OF SHIT" I have what is known as a command voice - it scared the piss out of him. Hispanic about 30 - 35, maybe 5'7" 180 lbs. I should have done the world a favor and shot him. Sorry everyone.

Book Cache was the regular book store, there were several around town, but certainly on on 5th Ave next to JC Penney across from Club Paris. Now it's some tourist store with junk from China, complete waste of space.

The only decent book store up here anymore is Title Wave, and even that is run by a bunch of old hippies, but it does carry just about everything in print. There's some chain store, too, but Title Wave is the source up here.

So the little lady and I are making a road trip out of it. Besides the rescue mission (I kid), I'll be able to collect a couple of new states (AL, MS, possibly AR) and finally see what this Buc-ees thing is all about. Definitely need to find a good holiday barbecue somewhere. Might as well enjoy the trip.

AI sez:

Whole Foods stocks Heyday Canning Co. Grilled Cheese Tomato Soup. This popular 15 oz can blends vine-ripened tomatoes, sharp cheddar cheese, and buttery sourdough cracker pieces to capture the exact flavor of a toasted grilled cheese sandwich dipped into creamy tomato soup.

That's a bit hyperbolic. It's not "the exact flavor." But it's mighty tasty. Enjoyed it while I was on soft foods after my implant surgery.

71 What a pig. And soon to be Pelosi replacement.

Senator Scott Wiener
@Scott_Wiener
Senator Wiener on MAGA Homophobic Backlash Against Major League Baseball:

“On San Francisco Giants Pride Night — also the tenth anniversary of the Pulse nightclub massacre — several players defaced their Pride caps with a biblical passage that has been hijacked by homophobes to ‘take back’ the rainbow from LGBTQ people. The players could have displayed this passage any night of the year but chose to do it only on Pride Night.

“The Giants, sadly, took no action in response, which is inconsistent with the Giants’ longstanding support for our LGBTQ community. Major League Baseball then warned the players that MLB rules bar defacement of uniforms. The Giants should publicly commit to enforcing rules around uniform defacement and should not effectively create a homophobia exemption to those rules.

“MAGA leaders like JD Vance and Josh Hawley are now glomming on and declaring an anti-LGBTQ culture war, in an attempt to bully MLB from enforcing its rules. MAGA leaders are only taking issue with enforcement of the rule against homophobic defacement, not any other form of defacement.

"Humans experience food through multiple senses. Taste is only one part of the equation. The brain also processes texture, temperature, smell and touch. Psychologists call this multisensory integration. Multisensory integration refers to the brain's ability to combine information from different senses to create a richer experience. When people eat with their hands, touch becomes part of the meal."

At any given time, there are only about two dozen British actors. They're in everything, but only for a narrow window. Some get into Hollywood, the rest retreat back into stage productions or minor roles.

One of the actors in "Brideshead Revisited" (he played Boy Mulcaster) slummed it as an X-wing pilot in "Star Wars." And then you see him as an officer in "Danger UXB." Crazy stuff.

Senator Scott Wiener
@Scott_Wiener
Senator Wiener on MAGA Homophobic Backlash

“On San Francisco Giants Pride Night — also the tenth anniversary of the Pulse nightclub massacre — several players defaced their Pride caps with a biblical passage that has been hijacked by homophobes to ‘take back’ the rainbow from LGBTQ people. The players could have displayed this passage any night of the year but chose to do it only on Pride Night.

“The Giants, sadly, took no action in response, which is inconsistent with the Giants’ longstanding support for our LGBTQ community. Major League Baseball then warned the players that MLB rules bar defacement of uniforms. The Giants should publicly commit to enforcing rules around uniform defacement and should not effectively create a homophobia exemption to those rules.

“MAGA leaders like JD Vance and Josh Hawley are now glomming on and declaring an anti-LGBTQ culture war, in an attempt to bully MLB from enforcing its rules. MAGA leaders are only taking issue with enforcement of the rule against homophobic defacement, not any other form of defacement.

Let's be honest. If you're doing the full Continental dining, where the knife stays in the weapon hand, eating steak goes much faster. Indeed, I think that centuries of scarcity promoted this sensible habit, lest someone try to steal your slice.

My grandmother had not one but two books of etiquette that were regularly consulted at holiday meals. The proper American way of cutting meat is to use the primary hand with the knife, secondary with fork.

Meat was to be cut one bite at a time, and after making a slice, the knife was placed on the plate, and the primary hand assumed the fork, and raised it to the mouth. You then switched again.

Cutting up all the meat at once was considered something one did for a child.

168 Corn dogs in other cultures:

In Canada, corn dogs are often called "Pogos".

In Australia, where they have become a popular food at agricultural shows and carnivals, they are known as either "Pluto pups", "Dagwood dogs", "dippy dogs" or (historically) "pronto pups". The name "Pluto pup" likely derives from the Disney character Pluto. "Dagwood dog" is derived from the name of a character from the American comic strip Blondie, which was created in 1930. In the comic strip, Dagwood, Blondie's husband, has a dog named Daisy. Historically the name "pronto pup" was originally used as a brand name in the United States in 1941, although this name had become obsolete as early as 1949 and was replaced by the name "Pluto pup". Some have suggested that Pluto pups are made in factories, while Dagwood dogs are prepared on site.

When we were kids, mom would send me and the sibs out to the field behind our house with Tupperware containers to get strawberries for strawberry shortcake and to make homemade jam. Nothing beats wild berries for flavor.

Can't get those in the mountain west where I live now. But, the golden currants are almost ripe, and we have these weird bush cherries that grow wild. They're called Nanking cherries, and as you can tell from the name they're not native but they escape freely into the wild. I call them weird because cherries are supposed to grow on trees, not bushes, dammit!

301 One thing I loved about learning Italian - for the most part words are spelled exactly the way they should be. Of course there are exceptions, such as "gli" is pronounced "lyee." But there are far, far fewer eamples of that than in English. Even the way they do soft or hard C's and G's to make up for no K's and J's in the alphabet follows a simple logic. As I was learning Italian I truly realized how difficult English must be to learn as a second language.

German is incredibly easy. Once you understand German pronunciation, you can read any German word perfectly. It is very orderly, very consistent.

Learning German opened up a lot of understanding of English, since it is a Germanic language, albeit worn down and diluted. German grammar is also much easier.

These cages are wonderful for the indeterminate tomatoes, you just push the growth back into the cylinder and they grow up instead of out, and there is no need to try and trellis them or wind them up a pole.

You can buy the cheap wire ones in the store that last a couple of years before giving up the ghost, and you can make them out of lathes. Dad, in 1974 decided to make his own out of a metal lattice that is called "remesh" which is a metal panel that is used for laying down reinforced concrete. I still 3 of the 6 that he made, the others got stolen by family or run over by me learning to use the truck in the back yard. After 50 years, however, they are starting to get frail. I suspect that the ones I am making now should outlive me, like Dad's outlived him.

The ones on sale are the 60" by 16' 4 Gauge wire ones. I can get three for the same price as one from re-mesh.
I have an angle grinder that zipped right through the wire, and I bent the hooks with a hunk of galvanized water pipe I salvaged.

It is two projects in one, I want the tomato cages, but I wanted to see what working with the material was going to be like, since I need to replace a hedge with a fence, and 5' might be tall enough.

As a Roman history buff, I asked him a lot about Latin and he noted that the Vulgate - and therefore all Romance languages - have only male and female genders. Classical Latin had a neuter case, but it was dropped.

The push for a neuter gender in the present day comes from the fact that English (being Germanic) has one. But Romance languages do not, and so it's literally cultural imperialism to push "latinx" on Spanish speakers.

One of the hardest things about learning German is the gender, which is not always intuitive. For Germans, it's second nature, they learn the word and its gender at the same time. But for Americans, it's tough because we don't used gendered articles ("the" vs "der, die, das.") A handy cheat I used in Germany was just to drop the article, which works in a terse, conversational format.

American food is really German food. Hamburgers, Frankfurters, Viennas, fried chicken, potato salad.

Germany felt very familiar, and even though I was rusty, I was able to pass myself off as a native without a lot of difficulty. When I finally ran out of German and used English, they were always delighted and were flattered than an American knew their language.

On my last TDY, I was in uniform chatting with a local in German, and he kept looking at my name tape, trying to figure out how an English guy knew German. "Mine Grossmutter" I said, and his face just lit up.

No, it was because the Saxons and the Norse used different expressions of gender cases. There's a great example in The Story of English of how "I want to sell you the horse pulling my cart" is very close, but also very different.

English also no longer has formal/informal case, and ironically, we think "thee" and "thou" are formal, when they are informal.

Disagree, it is a very precise language. Once you dig into it, it is quite easy. I used to be quite good at it, read Kafka in German and got a lot more out of it than one can in English.

German gender cases are non-negotiable. It is what it is.

And they kind of make sense because we preserved some of them.

My brother in Christ, German at least uses the same alphabet. Yeah, there are three umlauts, but that's because German vowels can only have one sound, even when combined (order is determinative).

To even begin to understand Russian, I'd have to learn the Cyrillic alphabet, and while it may be in every way superior to the Latin, I ain't got time for that.

One can make the argument that German is inferior to Latin in terms of reach, but we speak a Germanic language, and that has helped me to better understand English grammar.

Plus I (used to) be able to read German military histories.

362 Very first Russian class gave us overnight to learn the alphabet. It's not hard. Lots of nearly identical letters, of course some with different sound values. A few easily recognizable Greek letters.

At first everyone was freaking out. Next morning, nearly everyone had it down pretty well. Proper pronunciation of course took time (palatalization left you with sore tongue for weeks). But the alphabet was girls' gym.

Bernie Sanders: I have every right to own three homes. I earned that money by writing anti-capitalism screed-books.

Gay activists are angry that streetlamps in Northport will be used from May to September to honor fallen veterans, which doesn't allow "other communities" to hang their gay flags from them. Oh my, you are suffering like no other group has suffered throughout all of human history. #Courage.

I didn't write much about the MLB crushing dissident speech as regards the forced-speech in favor of "pride."

Josh Hawley made a serious threat against the league. The league enjoys a completely judge-fabricated exemption from the nation's antitrust law (the league serves as anti-competitive monopoly), an exemption no other league or corporation enjoys. (The NFL got a congressional exception, with limitations. Including no games on Saturday during college season, which is why you don't see Saturday NFL games until January.)

Hawley wants to look into whether that judge-manufactured exemption should be overturned, if MLB is going to use its monopoly power to compel the speech of workers who cannot go to a competitor league, due to their monopoly power.

The league's claim that it merely forbids "writing of any kind" on its uniforms does not survive a cursory review of the league's recent history. In 2020, MLB itself turned its uniforms and its fields into a billboard for political and social messages. It created jersey patches reading "Black Lives Matter" and "United for Change." It authorized "BLM" to be stenciled onto pitching mounds. And it suspended its own equipment rules so that players could display progressive political slogans on their cleats. The league went beyond tolerating speech--it designed speech, promoted speech, and shoehorned social and political messages into the game broadcast to millions of Americans. Yet when three players added a handful of characters citing the Book of Genesis to their caps, the league reached for its rulebook.

This does not appear to be an isolated incident. Your organization's recent action follows an undercover investigation which revealed an admission from a Washington Nationals executive that a Catholic player on the team was not included in promotional materials for the team because of his faith. That executive has since been fired, but not before the anti-Christian bigotry was exposed.

[...]

My concern is sharpened by the singular legal position that Major League Baseball occupies. Alone among America's professional sports leagues, baseball enjoys a sweeping, judicially manufactured exemption from the federal antitrust laws--a privilege the Senate Judiciary Committee has examined with bipartisan skepticism in recent years. A league that benefits from such an extraordinary dispensation owes the public a corresponding measure of accountability, and it invites the closest scrutiny when it appears to wield its market power to punish Americans for their beliefs. That exemption, in any event, has never been understood to shield the league from its legal obligation not to discriminate against its employees on the basis of religion.

The judge invented this unique exemption because, at that time, baseball was so hugely popular that it was considered sacrosanct, and no one wanted to pit the law against baseball, because baseball would win.

Baseball isn't so popular any longer. It's at best the second most popular sport and I think it's actually the third.

They better mind their P's and Q's.

Real Man and Arbiter of Masculinity James Talarico has one checking account, which is a joint account... with his mommy.

I don't want to brag but I've had my own account since I was 28.

Texas Senate candidate James Talarico, 37, has a single checking account that holds up to $50,000--and he shares it with his mother, a frequent contributor to his political campaigns who pitched in to cover Talarico's moving expenses when he was 32, records show.

Talarico's personal financial disclosure lists a single Wells Fargo checking account with a balance between $15,000 and $50,000. Though Talarico is unmarried, the disclosure indicates that the account is owned jointly. A "filer comment" provides clarity: "The account is jointly held by the filer and the filer's mother." Talarico did not disclose any other checking accounts.

It's unclear exactly why Talarico--whose campaign did not respond to a request for comment--shares the account with his mother, but she appears to be helping him, not vice versa.

Tamara Talarico is in her early 60s and appears to be in good health. She marched in a "No Kings" protest in October 2025 and joined Talarico on the campaign trail in subsequent months, including for his appearance on the View in February. Tamara Talarico has donated more than $2,000 to Democrats since 2023, Federal Election Commission records show, including more than $450 to Talarico's Senate campaign. She is married to Talarico's adoptive father, Mark Talarico, who holds a degree in nuclear engineering from Texas A&M and worked for nearly 30 years--until his retirement in 2021--as a senior sales engineer for a Texas-based company that sells advanced laboratory instruments, according to his LinkedIn.

Talarico's parents contributed $5,000 each to his campaign for state representative in 2021, records show. The same year, Talarico reported an in-kind campaign contribution of $1,437.84 from his parents for "moving expenses." Talarico was 32 years old at the time.

Talarico joined the part-time Texas House of Representatives--which pays members an annual salary of $7,200--in 2018 after working as a sixth-grade teacher. He represents a portion of, and lives in, Texas's "priciest metropolis," Austin.

Talarico has supplemented the modest salary he earns as a state lawmaker with consulting income from the equity-focused education firm MAYA Consulting, which he joined in 2019 and which developed diversity, equity, and inclusion plans for public school districts in Texas during the height of the Black Lives Matter movement in 2020, the Washington Free Beacon reported. It's unclear how much Talarico has earned from the firm, and, while Texas state lawmakers are required to file financial disclosures, they do not include annual income.

Your prototypical, archetypal Democrat "man."

Leftwing women are insufferable and irreparably broken. Further evidence:

Headline: Woman arrested for jerking off his dick in front of female nurses.

Dwight Fart Schrute says The Office couldn't be made today because of wokeness, and even says he says media bias in favor of "the liberal agenda."

And that it's pretty obvious that if someone on the right had a "questionable tattoo" it would be "all over MSNBC."

It may have been a correct thing to do a century ago when baseball was America's Pastime, but those days are long past and there's no reason baseball can't face competition like any other professional sport.

If past NFL and NBA competitors are anything to go by, MLB has nothing to worry about anyhow, but it would allow for more teams in smaller cities, etc.

Nope. They were religious messages. Alongside compelled speech, it was compelled religious statement. Particularly this latest one.

On the other hand, sometime after my parents turned 70, my sister was ADDED TO THEIR ACCOUNTS. This proved fortuitous when they died within 2 years of each other, since my sister was the named executor for their estates.

On Tuesday, the Fresno County Board of Supervisors voted 3 to 2 in favor of the resolution, which defines the nuclear family as “consisting of one husband, one wife,” along with children, as “God’s design.”

The resolution was introduced by Chairman of the Board Garry Bredefeld, who announced the plan on June 6, the same day as the Fresno Pride Parade.

Jen Van Laar is doing great work - interesting that Gavin sold the one home to the criminal attorney repping Duong. Duong paid off former Mayor Shen Tao or whatever her name is, forcing her to resign when it came out. Duong ran one of the major trash pick companies contracted in Oakland, IIRC.

(CBS News)

Some 500 British police officers conducted raids on facilities linked to the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light (AROPL) group Wednesday morning, arresting ten people on suspicion of various offenses including modern slavery, forced marriage and sexual assault.

...

The Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light is a religious movement based largely on messianic prophecy intertwined with conspiracy theories. It is associated with the Shiite branch of Islam but is considered heretical by most Muslims.

In 2015, the sect's Egyptian-American leader Abdullah Hashem claimed to be the Mahdi – an Islamic messianic figure comparable to the Second Coming of Christ. He has also claimed to be the true pope and the successor of Jesus Christ.

Dwight was loopier than usual throughout the episode due to the concussion. Michael had an absurd conversation with the E.R. doctor about which was more serious, a burned foot or a concussion.

Burlington College. She was very nearly indicted:

"BURLINGTON, Vt. —
Sen. Bernie Sanders' wife, Jane O'Meara Sanders, will face no criminal charges related to a controversial land deal at Burlington College.

Vermont's U.S. Attorney, Christina Nolan has informed Sanders the investigation into alleged wrongdoing has concluded and no charges will be filed, a Sanders spokesman said Tuesday."

206 184 Baseball has plunged in popularity over the years. There are a lot of reasons, not the least of which is terrible leadership, but it was inevitable in a TV-dominated culture.

BUT... in a streaming-dominated culture, in a "multiple screens" and "background viewing" culture, it could dominate again. You can run baseball in the background and still enjoy it, like people use to with radio. Football and basketball really require viewing.

Iran was out of the news.

Oil was falling, gas was falling. We were facing a glut in September no matter what happened.

This is pretty much just a minor action to get the strait back to normal (convincing Indian tanker captains that they can go without US naval support) while providing Iran with the "opportunity" to sell some oil on the market again.

Which is going to be difficult considering what they've done to their wells and what we've done to their shadow tanker fleet.

And probably about trying to pick at internal tensions in Iran.

People assumed Trump was desperate for a deal, but I've never thought so. Especially after several weeks of oil and gas falling.

A comparison I saw made that makes sense is to a chess move, developing a minor pawn that doesn't do much while waiting for the opponent to do something else which would open up more avenues of attack.

Trump accomplished the goals he stated at the beginning of the war and they never changed. Invading Iran and doing a regime change was never one of those goals.

I keep a bit of an eye on it. Russia continues their overall methodical strategy for surrounding and assaulting occupied towns that has worked for them over the years. Since drones are so omnipresent you can't just drive swarms of tanks on roads without them getting attacked, so its just quick rushes and lots of shelling to take the next post. Slow, but Russia has always played that type of war pretty well. Ukraine pretty much has lost the ability to push them back at any point for some time.

The only part I try to keep track of is the evolving drone tech and the evolving tactics, and that part is truly fascinating. Because of that war, drone tech has probably done 50 years of development in the last 4.

Even more improbably, it's starting to look like Russia is slowly losing, because the Ukes are adapting the new tactics more quickly. Saw recently that the Russian held Crimea is almost completely out of food and fuel. Uke drone attacks have kept all rail lines and traffic bridges shut down for cargo, and any Russian ships getting within 50 miles of Crimea are quickly sunk by anti-ship drones.

277 Back in the late 1980's, a friend and I went to a local nightclub for a rather intimate concert by America. It was a real treat, since not many good bands ever came up to AK back then (they still mostly don't), and even though they were never my fav, they were very entertaining.

Afterward, we were driving across town and saw Dewey Bunnell and Gerry Beckley walking along the street, so we pulled over and asked if they wanted a ride somewhere. They did, so we drove them downtown to the bars so they could hang out and grab some dinner.

Most people are just people. I think the tourists are starting to find that out.

Not a care in the world; just a guy covered in grease and sawdust. Goldie Hawn, Buddie Hackett and other visitors to a local studio would show up often. .. and everybody just left them alone. Just peeps. And I'll never forget when the members of Pablo Cruise piled into the back of my girl friend's car and we all went and played a quick softball game.

Federal Judge Upholds Conviction of Judge Who Illegally Aided Criminal Illegal Aliens to Escape ICE

This is a bad day for high-calorie Karens.

But that's just a day ending in a -day.

A federal judge on Tuesday upheld the conviction of a former Wisconsin judge who helped an undocumented man evade Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers.

U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman declined to reconsider former Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan's conviction without rescheduling a sentencing date. Adelman previously postponed Dugan's sentencing on June 3.

...

The lawyers added that Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, the Mexican immigrant she led out a private courthouse door to evade ICE officers, was not facing a pending proceeding but a warrant for his arrest instead. Adelman, a Bill Clinton appointee and former Democratic state legislator, was unconvinced by this argument.

"At oral argument, defendant noted that ICE goes out every day to try to arrest people on the street," Adelman wrote in his ruling. He echoed the defense's argument, writing "Given the estimated 10 million undocumented persons in the United States, does that mean there are 10 million pending proceedings?"

The federal judge added that Dugan "insists that there needs to be some formality, i.e., a proceeding before an agency involving parties trying to come to a determination, an adjudication."

...

Dugan was found guilty of obstruction charges in December. She faces up to five years in prison for obstruction, the more serious of the charges, though first-time offenders rarely receive the harshest punishment.


...

Flores-Ruiz has since been deported. His appearance before Dugan and her conviction have come amid the Trump administration's massive crackdown on immigrants across the U.S.

I've worked with a lot of indians and sometimes they bring "candy", indian "candy" to work to share. A lot of it is made with beans and I've never tasted one that was good. There are probably good and bad ways to make it. There has to be a way because chocolate is a bean, as is vanilla so there has to be other good bean-candy varieties.

57 If they upheld the smackdown of the judge, those court clerks in Utah are totally screwed.

Jennifer Joma and Lauren Kelsey Morrow, two former court clerks in Logan, Utah, face federal felony charges for allegedly helping undocumented immigrants evade ICE arrest at the Logan City Municipal Justice Court on April 9, 2026.

Federal prosecutors allege the clerks misused court databases to identify non-citizens, intercepted them as they left the building, and escorted them through secure areas and out a back door to avoid federal agents waiting in the parking lot. Joma also allegedly drove three of the immigrants away from the courthouse in her personal vehicle.

Jennifer Joma and Lauren Kelsey Morrow, two former court clerks in Logan, Utah, face federal felony charges for allegedly helping undocumented immigrants evade ICE arrest at the Logan City Municipal Justice Court on April 9, 2026.

Federal prosecutors allege the clerks misused court databases to identify non-citizens, intercepted them as they left the building, and escorted them through secure areas and out a back door to avoid federal agents waiting in the parking lot. Joma also allegedly drove three of the immigrants away from the courthouse in her personal vehicle.

Jennifer Joma and Lauren Kelsey Morrow, two former court clerks in Logan, Utah, face federal felony charges for allegedly helping undocumented immigrants evade ICE arrest at the Logan City Municipal Justice Court on April 9, 2026.

Federal prosecutors allege the clerks misused court databases to identify non-citizens, intercepted them as they left the building, and escorted them through secure areas and out a back door to avoid federal agents waiting in the parking lot. Joma also allegedly drove three of the immigrants away from the courthouse in her personal vehicle.

Rescinding asylum and temporary protected statuses. New H1-B's down 80%. Green cards down 50%. Denaturalizations up about 300% (still small numbers, but you can blame three SCOTUS cases for the hurdles there). Every visa class is down double digits.

---
It'll be overturned on appeal.

Because the cartel judge is stupid--he argued that, because it was so high, it was in effect a tax--$100k is a tax.

Except. That means, a lower amount would not be a tax--$1k is not a tax.

Meaning, the cartel judge has made a policy decision--not a legal decision on what he thinks the fee should be.

And SCOTUS has been pretty clear these last few terms--judge are not to make policy decisions, they are to rule on the law:
Either Trump has the right to set the fee or he does not.
There is no "sliding scale" between legal fee and illegal tax.

I think that which can't go on forever won't. What's been happening for Europe for years is not sustainable, either economically or with the citizenry. There are cracks showing all over like Sweden and AfD and other indications people have had enough of the lies and degradation of their country for no gain at all.

WPATH is largely funded by J.B. Pritzker's transgender brother, Lt. Colonel "Jennifer" Pritzker, retired.

🚨 Massive news with worldwide repercussions!

The FTC, along with Alaska, Iowa, Nebraska, and Texas, have filed a lawsuit against the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), alleging the organization has provided the means for medical providers to make false and unsubstantiated claims to parents in order to sell pediatric medical transition services.

WPATH, an association of clinicians who profit from pediatric medical transition services, recommended medical interventions, including drugs and surgery, for children and adolescents who expressed dissatisfaction with or distress about their sex traits. In their complaint, the FTC and its state partners allege that these recommendations misled parents and children about the medical consensus and medical necessity, as well as the safety and effectiveness, of such services, in violation of the FTC Act.

"Today, the FTC filed a lawsuit against WPATH alleging that the organization made false and unsubstantiated claims regarding the necessity, effectiveness and safety of puberty blockers, hormones and sex-change surgeries," said Chairman Andrew N. Ferguson.

"Children, but especially their parents, must have complete and truthful information when making decisions to purchase medical services. For decades, the FTC has taken action against entities that make deceptive and unsubstantiated health-related claims. The complaint filed today reflects that same long-standing mandate: when an entity makes a claim about a medical treatment, the claim must be truthful, evidence-based and not misleading."

In 2022, WPATH omitted all mention of age limitations for breast amputation or penis removal from the "Standards of Care" document providing the organization's official recommendations for treating sex-trait-related dissatisfaction or distress in children.

As alleged in the complaint, WPATH did not base this decision on medical evidence.
As described in the complaint, in several instances, parents seeking help for their children were asked by clinicians whether they "would rather have a live daughter or a dead son," based on WPATH representations that pediatric medical transition services are "lifesaving." As the complaint argues, there is no competent and reliable scientific evidence to suggest these interventions reduce the risk of suicide.

WPATH claims its recommendations represent "consensus-based expert opinion." This leads WPATH members and other clinicians to repeat to consumers false, misleading or unsubstantiated statements about safety and efficacy found in WPATH guidelines, according to the complaint.

According to the complaint, despite the absence of competent and reliable scientific evidence, WPATH's guidelines label nearly every pediatric transition service as "medically necessary" to maximize the likelihood that insurers will pay for the pediatric transition procedures.

BEST 0.5 BLACK PRESIDENT EVVVVVVVVA !!!!!!

The Barry Soetoro Presidential Center was billed as a lasting legacy to former President Soetoro, and its construction was touted as an ambitious model built with aggressive goals for minority-owned and local businesses.

But now, some of the very subcontractors who helped build the 19.3-acre campus on Chicago’s South Side say they are facing financial ruin as they race to recover millions of dollars they claim remain unpaid ahead of the center's grand opening Friday.

Overall construction costs were reported to be $830 million in 2021 and have likely climbed past the $1 billion mark.

32 Good.

No mutilation before age 21yrs. Really 25yrs when the prefrontal cortex of the brain is fully developed and decisions can be made as an adult.

Then there should be clear language of studies in the pre-op consent that 1/2 of men who try to become women commit suicide for chronic pain of infections of ingrown hairs, the inability to have sex/orgasm with their new thang, and that it takes up to 20min to simply pee sitting down.

They should pay for this out of their own pocket like any elective plastic surgery. Those surgeries are not paid by insurance due to mental distress, but for real medical diagnoses like going through a windshield or having cancer.

All I know about trans women (like Chaz) who become men is regret having it done as teens. Then changing their minds after a hysterectomy and double mastectomy. Unsure of suicide stats.

What I can't figure out is why Chaz could not simply be a lesbian and date women with a strap on and no beard. However, she/he did not ask me.

And with Cher as her mother it is no surprise.

💰 The Pritzker Connection — It's Deeper Than Real Estate

This wasn't some arm's-length transaction between strangers. The Pritzker family were Gavin Newsom's first-ever political donors when he launched his career. That's not a coincidence — that's a long-term patronage relationship.

The Pritzker family — through their various entities and foundations — contributed roughly $572,000 to the California Partners Project, Jennifer Siebel Newsom's "gender equity" nonprofit. Let's sit with that: the family that sold the Newsoms a mansion also shoveled over half a million into the First Partner's charity.
And that charity is where the real action is.

110 This is a standard technique that isn't confined to "transgenders" (aka, mentally ill).

It was most recently used with COVID, where they cherry picked "experts." They cherry picked research data while simutaneously misrepresenting it. And, they threatened those "experts" who held contrary opinions.

This process is, also, being applied to the climate change issue. They make up percentages of "scientists"...most of whom were not in the meteorology field. They threaten those who disagree, and refuse grant money to those holding contrary opinions. They piggyback peer review studies by stacking review with fellow zealots....and they make up data (temp) to suit their needs.

And all of these issues are fully supported by media representatives some of whom are actually paid to regurgitate the falsities.

129 Very big.

Penn Medicine utilizes standards set by the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) to guide its comprehensive gender-affirming care & LCBTQ+ clinical services. Their Program for LCBTQ+ Health offers services ranging from hormone replacement therapy to genders-affirming surgeries, bolstered by patient advocates and affirming clinical training.

The intersection of these two entities involved the following key details:
Care Standards: Penn Medicine consults WPATH standards to align with international best practices & multidisciplinary care models.
Pediatric Surgery Policies: In compliance with federal directives, Penn Medicine halted gender-affirming surgeries for patients under the age of 19, though they continue to provide pharmacologic treatment & behavioral health support.
Leadership Roles: Penn Medicine continues to expand its internal Program for LGBTQ+ Health w/dedicated physician leaders and trans-affirming patient advocates shaping health care standards system-wide.

WPATH quietly removes trans provider directory. It was a search tool allowing you to select by provider specialty, and state or zipcode, but now it's just gone. I'd been using it to help post-op patients find trans friendly gynecologists. I wonder if WPATH, sadly, took it down for fear it would be used to target specific providers.

I wonder how much of that was as a protection for those providers? My therapist is a WPATH contributor and they have had to take down their website and other public listings of their practice. They were getting death threats etc.

Trans rights shouldn’t even be controversial, what kind of dystopia are we living in where half the USA supports a PDF president that believes LGBTQ+ people are groomers. Respect for LGBTQ+ people should be considered centrist.

Legal and Regulatory Pressures. In January 2026, the FTC issued a Civil Investigative Demand to WPATH. This investigation is looking into potential "false or unsubstantiated representations" regarding the marketing of gender-affirming care.

It's a lot tamer than I expected. AFAB and AMAB are just "assigned female (male) at birth", thembys are people defining themselves as non-gendered or non-binary. Dolls is a bit more cultural appropriationy...

doll is an affectionate slang term primarily used to refer to a feminine trans woman or transfeminine person. Originating in 1980s Ballroom culture among Black and Latina trans women, it serves as a term of endearment, sisterhood, and mutual recognition of femininity and confidence.

While historically a code-word for community members to identify one another discreetly, the term has evolved into a broader compliment for glamorous or hyper-feminine presentation.

Online the borderline functional get surrounded by similar people and that sort of re-enforces the freak flag flying as being normal, and that starts drawing attention , often by sorts that also wind up getting freaky.

Election Official Stops Democrat Dirty Trick: Democrats Tried to Split the Republican Vote for Dan Sullivan in Alaska By Running Another Man Named Dan Sullivan

Jonathan Turley:


There is an interesting controversy in Alaska where an election official just disqualified a candidate over his name. Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska) is in what is considered a close race with Democratic former Rep. Mary Peltola. The seat is viewed as critical to the Democrats' retaking power.

The race was thrown into disarray when a retired teacher named Dan Sullivan, who had no connection to the GOP but did have connections to Democratic operatives, got on the ballot. The alleged dirty trick by Democratic and Peltola supporters would have split Sullivan's vote through sheer confusion. Division of Elections Director Carol Beecher disqualified Dan J. Sullivan, putting an end to it this week.

The suspected dirty trick comes at a time when Democratic candidates and pundits are calling for winning back power "by any means necessary."

Democrats should really consider what happens when we take a similar "by any means necessary" posture.

Because it's coming.

It could create an interesting appeal if teacher Sullivan claims that this is just a colossal coincidence or that he has a right to be a vehicle for electoral confusion.

...

Beecher noted several indicators that teacher Sullivan and the Democrats were engaged in a dishonest campaign of confusion. She noted that he voted under the name Daniel J. Sullivan, Jr., but requested to appear on the ballot as Dan Sullivan--making him identical to the incumbent. He even tried to register using the initial "S" once, which would have matched the senator.

She also noted that Dan J. Sullivan had not registered as a Republican before launching his Senate campaign and that he created a new website that used a "color scheme and overall theme" similar to the incumbent's campaign materials.

She also noted his connection to Amber Lee, an Alaska Democratic consultant and past supporter of Peltola.

Of course it's a teacher.

When we go low, they go high.

Always remember that.

Stop making them go so high, low-goers!!!!

We are working on it. The situation here is that the Lower 48 leftists think it is easier to knock off our Senators since the vote totals are low, so they send all kinds of dark money and fund a lot of PACs that are sketchy at best but sound local. Petersburg Dan is just one of several lousy schemes they employ. We have had so many ads stating how awful the real Senator is, and that started a year ago. They are lies, but I don't think anyone can stop them.

Now we have this idiot Mary Peltola running the same ads, with the same lies, all while she claims she was the most wonderful Congresscritter during her time in DC.... She never advanced a single bill, or even cosponsored one, but she claims she brought home the bacon for AK. Lots and lots of dark money funding her bullshit.

I think she is just running for the grift. She hasn't a chance to win.

I love how they continue to fail to grasp that many Hispanics proudly consider themselves White. They are just unable to wrap their heads around the reality that they are cultural imperialists, trying to impose a perma-minority Latinx identity on people who don't want it.

It's hard for me to pick a favorite example of their faux multiculti, where they can't actually imagine anyone else being different under the skin (except for anti-socialists, who are demons). "Queers for Palestine" might rank even higher for amusement value, but for strategic self-sabotage, I think it's just *assuming* that Hispanics would automatically join an anti-White coalition.

Especially the immigrants. Denying their Whiteness is like putting them down, from their perspective.

I think the funniest part is that the Democrat Party is at war with itself over these issues, the central nexus of it all being that black women in the party will not let go of power.

They are the most aggrieved and oppressed, and all others must bow to their desires.

113 I'm under the impression Alaska is known for dirty politics.

Anyway, it's an old ploy, i.e.,

RIVALS HAVE SAME NAMES; Two New Jersey Republicans Face Like-Named Democrats.
Special to THE NEW YORK TIMES.
May 20, 1936

And then there's the current crop of N.J. devils:
2023, accusations were made in South Jersey regarding the use of third-party candidates in competitive legislative districts, such as State Senate District 4. These candidates reportedly appeared on the ballot but did not campaign or engage with the public.

2025 in a local mayoral race in Gloucester Township, New Jersey, also involved accusations of using phantom candidates. Mailers promoted a write-in candidate without providing biographical or contact information, leading to claims that the name was used to divide the opposing vote.

And others -

Florida State Senate race in 2020, an independent candidate with the same last name as the incumbent Democrat appeared on the ballot. Reports indicated this candidate did not campaign and was later found to have been compensated to be on the ballot.

Gotta watch those Dems/progressives.

It was proved that he did not.

Trying to file with a middle initial that does not match the one on his driver's license was the first tip off. Registering as a Republican two days before he filed was another. Then there were his ads and media presence, which was designed to look precisely the same as the real Senator's, and his history of donating to lefties, etc.

Pretty clear what the wonky asshoe was up to.

We haven't even covered the narrow defeat of the Senate War Powers vote (the House passed one last week) that would have restricted DJT's conduct of the war. Murky, Kennedy, Paul, and Collins voted with the Dems. Only Senator Fetterman's vote against the measure prevented it from passing.

The Congressional Black Caucus halving is going to do wonders for black turnout, I think.

Not in terms of increasing it, but in terms of getting black Americans, conditioned to vote for "people who look like them", to simply stop engagement in national politics.

Love it. It's nakedly shameless and crafty.

But I would put a better spin on it, and obviate any court opinion against my campaign.

I'd run ads bothering everybody, with the most similar two photos of me and my opponent I could dig up, playing up the "Sullivan vs. Sullivan" angle. Maybe with some UFC or football imagery and styling.

I would not point out any time which guy I was.

The voice over would be something like:

"Everyone says the Parties are exactly the same. Finally, one candidate is so different that nobody can tell him what to do. But you won't know which one, until you vote for Dan Sullivan.

You can buy a House seat for either Dan Sullivan this November, but with one of them - all you'll need is the edge!"

Pretty clear what the wonky asshoe was up to.

204 OT but fitting for the Pride post: one of the Giants players speaking out, none of the 4 have any regrets, which is a good thing. From the CA Post.

The Giants became the first professional sports team to include the rainbow flag in their on-field apparel in 2021 and had gotten full participation from their players until this year.

The Pride celebration is also the oldest in professional sports, dating back to the first AIDS “Night for a Cure” in 1994.

“I don’t think [playing in San Francisco] changes my view on God’s word,” Walker said.

“We want to welcome anybody and everybody in that ballpark,” added Brubaker.

“They’re saying that we’re using it as a mockery because God calls us to love everybody. He does, he does call us to love everybody. And we do love everybody.”

That, however, wasn’t how the message was interpreted by some fans and members of the LGBTQ community.

Brubaker has heard more positive feedback since the issue went national, but still, “there’s definitely more negative out there.”

I think the simple fact of the matter is that majority leader in the Senate has FAR fewer tools to use against recalcitrant senators than House leadership does against House members.

If you have 4 senators in a 53 seat caucus who will not vote for what the president of the same party wants, well, if they're not worried about their next election, then there's nothing leadership can do.

Lead a primary challenge? That's a quick way to lose any leadership role.

Essentially, the Senate seems like a black box from the outside. People assume Thune doesn't want it passed because he won't. That may be true, but it may also be that he simply can't get the votes because of the actual senators he's leading.

But now, some of the very subcontractors who helped build the 19.3-acre campus on Chicago’s South Side say they are facing financial ruin as they race to recover millions of dollars they claim remain unpaid ahead of the center's grand opening Friday.

Overall construction costs were reported to be $830 million in 2021 and have likely climbed past the $1 billion mark.

"PRIDE" Goeth for Its Long-Awaited Fall

"Ally" corporations have abandoned pRiDe and gay supremacists are very upset.


We knew corporations would abandon Pride. It still hurts.

The brands that are backing away from Pride Month are doing exactly what we knew they would do all along -- support LGBTQ+ people only as long as it was profitable.

At the start of June, I stopped by Target while running errands in the SoHo neighborhood of New York. The store had just set out its summer merchandise, displaying an array of clothes, accessories and sunscreens nestled within a series of red arches.

As I hurried past tank tops and patterned shorts toward the pet section, I stopped to look at the Pride collection.

There wasn't much -- a single display of generic rainbow-colored shirts and home goods rested toward the back of the store, with no signs declaring June to be LGBTQ+ Pride Month.

I realized at that moment that in spite of the fact that I live in New York City, and in spite of the fact that I am part of the LGBTQ+ community, I hadn't seen many corporate advertisements related to this year's celebration. I think I know why.

Companies are done using Pride Month for profits

It seems that the era of rainbow capitalism that has endured since Obergefell v. Hodges made same-sex marriage the law of the land in 2015 is no longer a guaranteed moneymaker for brands, leading them to downsize their efforts or abandon them altogether.

As conservatism rears its head across the country and corporations ditch diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, there is suddenly no incentive to support the LGBTQ+ community.

I hate to say it, but we told you this would happen.

Rainbow capitalism, the process of brands and corporations profiting off of the LGBTQ+ community, was never going to save us. There is no world where a JPMorgan Chase & Co. sponsorship at New York City's annual Pride March was going to solve homophobia in the United States. There was never a time when a cheaply made T-shirt was going to lead to equity.

The brands that are backing away from Pride Month are doing exactly what we knew they would do all along -- support LGBTQ+ people only as long as it was profitable. Now that there is less support, the community is reminded of why Pride began in the first place.

To endlessly hector and humiliate normies who just want to be left in peace without your constant shrieking, hysteria, and narcissistic insistence on "centering" yourself in all things?


From a marketing perspective, it makes sense that Pride Month is no longer the big event it once was several years ago. Support for same-sex marriage has declined, according to a recent Gallup poll. Fewer people believe that same-sex partnerships are "morally acceptable." Support for transgender rights has gone down.

You kept making more and more extravagant demands, testing people's inclination to be "nice" to avoid confrontation, until those demands became so oppressive they stopped being "nice."

This is entirely on you. Or, it's entirely on the gay grifter activist class, who can only justify their phony-baloney jobs by making greater and greater claims on the public's sympathies and attention so they can show they're "getting results" for their $300,000 per year jobs.

Until the public gets sick of the endless extortion campaign and starts saying "No."


This is the direct result of orchestrated attacks by Republicans on LGBTQ+ rights, particularly trans rights, during Trump's second ascent to the presidency.

No, Trump's second ascent to the presidency is because of your ever-escalating demands on the public.

Thank you for that, by the way. We couldn't have done it without you. Unlike the left, we don't have to create monsters to scare the public with -- they actually exist, and won't shut the fuck up in harassing the public.

Trans people no longer have access to accurate gender markers on their passports. Trans children have lost access to gender-affirming care. Trans women were barred from competing on sports teams that align with their gender.

Do you even hear yourself?


According to the Gallup poll, Republicans are the ones whose support for same-sex marriage and trans rights has waned in recent years. For some reason, they are the ones dictating culture in the United States, leading to fewer Pride collections in stores and decreasing corporate support at festivals.

Absolultely. We thought we could appease you but you demonstrated again and again that you were unappeasable and each fresh concession we granted you just encouraged further aggression. You know, like a communist dictator or Islamic conqueror.

The Gay Lobby assured us, over and over, that "gay marriage will have no effect on your life at all." When objectors said "gay marriage will lead to demands for 'trans acceptance' next, you called those people liars and said that will never, ever happen.

Well, you fucking lied. You lied and lied and lied until you got what you wanted, then you began making the exact kind of demands that people said you'd make when you got what you said you wanted.

And you're surprised people are fed up with your bullshit?



Even if it's unsurprising that corporations are backing away from rainbow capitalism, and even though many within the LGBTQ+ community feel at odds with the commercialization of a celebration that started as a protest, it stings to see Pride transform in this way.

Oh no, they "commercialized" Pride Month. Is nothing sacred?

Christmas, sure, but PRIDE MONTH?!?!!

Check out the massive civil rights violations that gay people in "rural and suburban communities" now face:

...
For LGBTQ+ people in rural and suburban communities, stores like Target are some of the only options for buying Pride apparel. In reducing their support for Pride Month and the LGBTQ+ community, these stores are reducing access for people who want to celebrate who they are.

Do you have access to... Amazon.com, praychance?

This is the flipside of the evermore-intrusive demands the gay mafia makes -- the violations they claim to suffer go in the opposite direction, getting tinier and tinier until they are so small their existence, due to Heisenberg Uncertainty, can't even be said to be real.

Meanwhile, they continue actually oppressing everyone who doesn't feel like wearing their gay identifiers:

edWave Press
@RedWavePress


5h
OUTRAGE: The MLB is getting absolutely BLASTED online as BOYCOTTS continue to mount after the league "warned" San Francisco Giants players for their "violation" of writing Bible verses on their caps during pride night caps.

"The writing on the cap violates our rules and consistent with normal practice we have warned the players about future violations," MLB Chief Communications Officer Pat Courtney said in a statement Monday.

The MLB attempted to BACKTRACK in a new statement on Tuesday writing: "To be clear, this routine verbal warning not to wear the hat in future games is not disciplinary and had absolutely nothing to do with the content of the message. We respect players' right to free expression."

"However, writing of any kind, with any message, is prohibited per Major League Baseball's Uniform Regulations which provides in part that, '[a] Player may not write, attach, affix, embroider or otherwise display nicknames or messages on apparel or playing equipment.'"

"We have given the same warning numerous times in the past to players for messages such as 'Dad', 'Happy Mother's Day, I Love Mom' and names of family members."

Uh-huh.

Except you're here compelling people to speak a message they disagree with.

I think all minorities should bear it in mind that when you're given temporary power over another group -- like the majority -- and immediately begin using that power to bully, harass, coerce and oppress, when the majority takes that power back, they're going to remember what you believed to be completely-appropriate uses of power when you had the whip-hand, and they're going to use that power, too.

And they won't feel guilty about it, either, because you established the precedent for the bullying and harassment permitted to those with the cultural power.

People are tribal.

It's just a question of which tribe.

The left has been actively trying to make the white tribe a thing in America for decades now, under the impression that they'll breed/immigrate us out of existence and our white tribal mentality will develop too late to do anything about it.

Now, for the unrelated news on Trump deporting 3x as many people as Eisenhower in his first year, millions more leaving on their own, and the effective ending of the asylum system...

48 Dr Who is an interesting microcosm Russell T Davies helps resurrect the show. It is immensely popular. There are some minor bits in there- primarily liberal, not explicitly gay- aside from Captain Jack, who was just a libertine to begin with.

The show blossoms and grows in popularity until Chibnall. Then it becomes explicitly liberal with abortion episodes, female gay doctor, whole nine yards.

So they go back to RTD and assume he is the savior. And he subvert the series further into an explicitly gay platform. And then it dies. None of these people have any regrets and just blame the fans for being close minded.

It is a remarkable example of both incrementalism and tunnel vision.

Mostly the latter I think.

Idaho is where Hollywood comes to be ignored. Most of them have fancy vacation houses in Sun Valley or Lake Coeur d'Alene, because the native Idahoan residents are very MYOB.

It backfires occasionally, such as when that Kellogg High student said something about boys being boys and girls being girls, and his lesbian art teacher complained to her gay-married lesbian police officer partner and she and the Californian-import school superintendent conspired to wreck the highschool graduation that year because of it.

How is it that the alphabet crowd needs to be publicly recognized and applauded, or else they are being “erased?” Nobody has forced you to stop satisfying your sexual urges with consenting adults, but somehow, if we don’t stand up and applaud you for being a pervert, you cease to exist. I’m terribly sorry you feel so put out by your choice to flaunt the rules of society, but I don’t think anyone has prevented you from doing so. And, as with any choice, there are consequences, which in this case means your feelings get a little bruised. Get over yourself already.

I'm sure they were duly offended.

Designed by sculptor Henry Hering and architect Frank Walker, these Ohio Outdoor Sculpture icons inspired the name of Cleveland's MLB team...Vehicles Depicted: Stagecoach, covered wagon, hay rack, a 1930s-era passenger automobile, and four types of motorized trucks. Formerly the Lorain-Carnegie Bridge, it was renamed in 1983 to honor the family of iconic entertainer Bob Hope.Iconic Status: The statues serve as a civic symbol of Cleveland Magazine and Instagram and inspired the Cleveland Guardians baseball team name.

There were a number of mennonite families each with a gaggle of kids, and plenty of non-mennonites, most with no kids or small families.

In the macro world, to measure something you look at it , you move something against it and you assume any disturbance is negligible. If the only way you had to measure the location of a car is by crashing another car into it, well you can see that the car might now be in a different place or rolling down a hill.

When you get to the level of atoms and particles, you can't find something 'relatively tiny' any more to make a measurement...you have have to choose what you disturb. A low energy photon won't move the thing you want to measure, but it is fuzzy due to its high wavelength. A high energy photon like an x or gamma can give you a tight location measurement, but the momentum can knock the thing you are measuring away.

The 300 billion seems to be *investment* from other gulf states -- that is, buying up Iranian assets for joint development to establish financial ties and reasons not to bomb each other.

Neither of these is US cash.

SUBTLY rearranging, yep. Maybe an underwear rub to absorb that trickle of sweat that's rolling down your ball sack and driving you crazy. Pulling your underwear down when it's ridden up into your crack. Other things like that.

But those adjustments are done for comfort, not for sexual gratification.

The stated mission at the beginning never included regime change.

The conflict isn't even over with this signing. It's a Memorandum of Understanding...a starting point to talk about the rest, and Iran has to behave to get anything.

In order to get those funds, Iran has to abide by point 5 (strait passage), point 8 (not pursuing nuclear weapons), and point 12 (exterior monitoring of Iran's behavior), all while the $300 billion is, according to point 6, not going to be accessible until after the 60 day period passes without incident.

What they get now is the ability to sell oil...after we took out a large chunk of their tanker fleet.

If you're going to fret about what's in the MOU, read the MOU.

One of the "tells" of a Progressive Christian is that he or she doesn't believe Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed because of homosexuality. They belive it was a "being inhospitable" based on a selective interpretation of Ezekiel 16:49. Ezekiel 16:50 as well as Jude 7 make it abundantly clear this interpretation is wrong.

No. That is a misreading. Gulf States are proposing (not have done it already) creating a joint investment fund for the Middle East that MAY invest in Iranian projects or not depending on the Iranian government's behavior.

Unclear about the 12-20 billion in frozen Iranian assets held in the Gulf states and elsewhere in the West as to when and under what conditions they may access that.

Basically, each point of the MOU is going to be negotiated step by step--so that verifiable steps have to be done before it triggers loosening the noose on Iran's economy.

248 The banner was picked up by home shopping networks with their over 50 and fabulous spotlight, or similar nonsense. (No doubt why bankruptcy looms.)

But really interesting was the Philly pride parade dust-up this year. And, keep in mind, probably only NYC & LA could outdo Philly in pure Pride & gayness.

Philly Gay News, Masked police attack LGBTQ+ community
June 17, 2026

In part, Philadelphia police officers, some wearing masks, confronted and attacked members of the LGBTQ+ community gathered in the Gayborhood during Pride celebrations on June 7. Other officers deployed Tasers, while mounted officers and motorcycle units pushed community members into areas already confined by fencing erected by the city itself. Much of what occurred was captured on video and is readily available on social media.

The police response was, at best, unprepared. At worst, some officers appeared completely out of control.

Insurance rates. There is a shortage of tankers already and one out of action means a big payout, not only for the ship, but for the cargo. So guys with dinghys or floating sea mines from the shores create uncertainty and that makes the insurers, about a third of which was Lloyds of London names, twitchy.

And the whole shipping thing is misleading as ships are turning off their transponders through the Straits and then turning them back on. That is what Trump was talking about shortly before the end, we were aiding bunches of trapped tankers to exit the Gulf right under the Iranian noses at night.

Eh, GWOT has burned a lot of people's trust. And that affects any foreign negotiations especially with Iran which has been going on since the Shah was overthrown.

That being said, turning the bombs back on and reinstalling a blockade is pretty easy to do if necessary. Which means the natural tendency to apply standard RINO weaseling is at a minimum. Trump could have looked away and done nothing about the nuke threat--fact is he didn't. Which is different than any other US president in the last 48 years. And Trump did it twice.

Meantime, if those in the West were smart, they would be stockpiling like a mo fo on key items like jetfuel, etc. And for the long run, reopening oil and gas exploration in their own backyard like the UK.

Gas prices have been going down for weeks, by the way.

And no, we're nowhere near running out of oil. It'd take 15 weeks, not 4, to drawdown our reserve completely. Trump was simply wrong on that. And the drawdowns are slowing because demand is slowing. There's a mixture of demand destruction and the fact that we're just past the peak of demand.

This is more of a staying action than anything else.

Posted by: Heroq

It was never about regime change. That was floated about as hopeful as a consequence but the official goal of the US was to prevent Iranian nukes.

Trump has been consistent on that demand for decades. That is why the second strikes occurred after the initial Fordow strike. The Iranians bragged they had enough enriched uranium to make 12 bombs when they could get to it. Trump took them at their word and promptly resumed bombing and instituted the blockade.

It takes several weeks (from reports it was about 60-70 percent enriched) to get up to bomb grade. And that requires working centrifuges--even being knocked around slightly can cause a rather explosive event when such is turned on and it rapidly dissassembles itself.

Fun fact, uranium separation plants are leaky as gaseous Uranium hexafluoride is a very nasty corrosive solid that readily combines with water vapor to make hydrofloric acid eating through pipes and containment vessels with ease.

This was blamed in part on exactly this corrosion from NUMEC in Apollo, Pennsylvania, not Y-12.
Between 1957 and 1978, over 300 kilograms of weapons-grade uranium went unaccounted for.

In FL my library was taken over by homeless (or the unhoused or whatever woke word it is). They would arrive to read newspapers and stink the place up. One troll woman even roared out of a bathroom stall to scare the crap out of me once,as it was her home (it was near the med center). So I took my bidness to the island. There I got a bedbug in the pocket of a book and I was done. I tried baking the books on the dash in my car as I read that could kill them. My husband thought that was nuts...what is new.

Soros DA Larry Krasner of Philadelphia Is Brutally Taken Down by (Democrat) Pennsylvania Supreme Court, Which Accuses Him of Bad-Faith and Lying In Order to Set Convicted Murderers Free with No Legal Justification

You've heard of sue-and-settle. That's the unethical and possibly illegal practice of Democrat bureaucrats (and it is almost always Democrats) conceding lawsuits to friendly, politically-aligned litigants. These concessions result in Democrat policy preferences being encoded into law not by regular democratic processes, but by a "consent degree" agreed to by the executive that has the force of law itself.

So if you can't get 50,000 acres of land blocked from development through a law, just get your environmental buddies to sue your department claiming the snail darter is endangered, and then do no oppositional research to verify that. Just agree that yes, the snail darter is endangered and its very very sad, then propose a settlement by which the 50,000 acres you wanted to put off-limits for development but could not get legislatures to agree to are now off-limits for devolopment per the terms of a consent decree you sign with the "hostile" litigants you actually conspired with to bring about this outcome.

It's an inside-outside game, except that both parties are actually insiders, conspiring with each other to defraud the public.

Such as Larry Krasner, the pro-crime, pro-murder Soros-funded DA for Philadelphia.

For years, he has been setting murderers free or granting them new trials -- which they'll probably win, because witnesses die and evidence is destroyed over the course of 10-20 years -- by claiming that the defense lawyers he's conspiring with brought forward new evidence sufficient to overturn past jury verdicts.

This is the kind of scheme that is almost never punished. How would you prove it? And who would be the party to complain? If you try to sue Kramer himself, a leftwing judge will probably just say you lack "standing" to sue him.

Well, amazingly, the Democrat-majority Pennsylvania Supreme Court just called him out and didn't use polite or evasive language to explain why they refusing his latest "concession" to a defense lawyer to let a murderer out of jail. They say, pretty much straight-up, "You're lying, there is no evidence sufficient to compel this, these are bad-faith 'concessions' you're making to your political allies, and you're setting murderers free not because the evidence warrants it but because you have a personal, political interest in setting murderers free."

Not only do they set aside his lawless decision to free a murderer, but they go a big step further and say because you are a bad-faith actor without credibility, all future decisions "conceding" a point to defense lawyers about a prior jury verdict will first have to be approved by the state Attorney General. They're taking his License to Free Murderers away from him.


Next Philly Mayor
@nextphlmayor

Wild stuff. Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner in hot water and now needs the PA AG's office to review all attempts to overturn a murder conviction.

"In a forceful and scolding opinion, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that District Attorney Larry Krasner's office misled the courts, "violated its duty of candor," and submitted false statements when asking a judge to vacate a 2004 murder conviction.

Justice Kevin Dougherty wrote that prosecutors' pattern of misleading judges in seeking to overturn murder convictions is so troubling and recurrent that, going forward, before Krasner's office seeks such relief, judges must notify the state attorney general's office and allow it to review the case."

DA Krasner's Office was playing fast and loose when it came to trying to overturn murder convictions... and then not doing anything after overturning them.

Time and again it has come out that his DAOs lied to the court, hid evidence, or didn't communicate with the families of the victims.

This isn't political. The PA Supreme Court is 5-2 Democrat. This is about due process and justice.

Crazy that it has been able to go on for this long without somebody stepping in...

There has been 115 cases...

"The attorney general's office had filed an amicus brief in support of the families, arguing that, since 2018, Krasner's office had conceded relief to the defendants in 115 cases in which there was no "adversarial testing" of the case.

Attorney General David Sunday, a Republican, said in a statement Tuesday that his office is grateful to serve "as a check on this process for the citizens of Philadelphia and ensure that the interests of victims' families are represented."

When an investigation reveals that a defendant was wrongfully convicted, his office said, prosecutors have a duty to remedy the situation -- through the established court processes.

"As the Court noted," his office said, "this case is about the failure of the process in Philadelphia, both as to this defendant and many others.""

The opinion explains that while the Post-Conviction Relief Act (PCRA court) is the actual body that sets murderers free, they have, until now, taken the DA's "concessions" that prior verdicts must be overturned as nigh-dispositive. Krasner would just concede case after case to his political allies seeking to free murderers.

Now they say that Krasner will not be allowed to make these "concessions" on his own authority -- he'll have to submit them to the state AG for review and approval.

They straight-up say that Krasner is ignoring the law in favor of his own personal lunatic need to set murderers free:

"When relief is not dictated by the record and law but merely advocated for personal, political, ideological, policy, or other non-legal reasons, a prosecutor's concession does not minister justice; it facilitates injustic."

More:

In an extraordinary ruling from Pennsylvania's Supreme Court, if the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office wants to overturn a conviction in state court, the state Attorney General's Office must be given the chance to review the case and make sure a proper investigation was done.

The order comes as a King's Bench petition, which is basically a mechanism for the high court to take over a case and review it. The case at hand involved Lavar Brown, a man convicted of killing two men in the early 2000s and sentenced to death row.

In their opinion, the five Democratic and two Republican justices said District Attorney Larry Krasner has "numerous instances of untrustworthy concessions, lack of candor, misrepresentations of fact, lack of adequate investigation, and avoidance of hearings" and is "unreliable."

They said when a district attorney fails to follow through on their duties it "does not minister justice, it facilitates injustice."

The high court said because "the problems are poised to continue," it's now requiring the Attorney General to intervene on behalf of the commonwealth.

"It is only in Philadelphia County that there has been a pronounced, documented pattern of highly problematic prosecutorial concessions," the judges added.

#Based.

Finally, some good news and some sanity and some actual justice.

11 So if you can't get 50,000 acres of land blocked from development through a law, just get your environmental buddies to sue your department claiming the snail darter is endangered, and then do no oppositional research to verify that. Just agree that yes, the snail darter is endangered and its very very sad, then propose a settlement by which the 50,000 acres you wanted to put off-limits for development but could not get legislatures to agree to are now off-limits for devolopment per the terms of a consent decree you sign with the "hostile" litigants you actually conspired with to bring about this outcome.

36 I've never understood how Prosecutorial Discretion has gotten to the power level of an AG being able to decide WHAT crimes they will prosecute, with no oversite.

Our Founders built a system of checks and balances, where one group in power was always countered by another... at least that was the intention.

But somehow, both Judges, and Prosecutors, can unilaterally take actions for which they will never be held PERSONALLY accountable.

Note, Judge Boasberg is still on the bench, and is about to try to hold another Trump appointee in criminal contempt, on a case in which he never should have had jurisdiction at all.

Posted by: zombie at June 17, 2026 01:46 PM (Av6i5)

80 We've talked a lot about Soros's Nazi-associated past, but I think we may have been barking up the wrong tree.

Soros would have been a young teenager at the time of Hitler's death, and it seems a bit of a stretch to think that he was doing any work, even white collar, that particularly benefitted the Nazis.

However, his relationship was primarily with one Nazi. One older male Nazi. And no matter what the official current line (likely originating from Soros!) is, the Nazis were pretty likely to be homo as hell.

Like their current Muslim admirers, they would swear up and down that they hated faggots more than anything else on earth, and say this while buried up to the balls in some man's --or boy's--asshole.

So it seems likely that Soros was actually not so much Hitler Youth as he was a Nazi's catamite.

And like many catamites, he carries on the tradition to the next generation. Ever see those romantic pictures of Alex Soros and Huma Albedin? Mel Gibson and Danny Glover look more romantic saving each other's lives in the movies.

To normalize pedophilia, he does everything to make the nation dysfunctional, so that people like him can just slide into de facto acceptance.

They believe that all crimes committed by minorities are ONLY committed because those minorities have been systematically and deliberately held down and held back by an innately racist society and culture.

The remedy, obviously, is to stop punishing them for crimes they committed under the stresses and fears created by that innately racist society and culture.

I visit friends on a regular basis, it's very depressing the change since when I lived there. Philly used to be a vibrant patchwork quilt of ethnic neighborhoods, each with its distinct flavor, and the streets were kept relatively clean,, all things considered.

Queen Village had its own neighborhood associatiion that was very active with keeping up the qualilty of life in our streets. Last year I walked through to the little green oasis around 4th and Bainbridge and was horrified, it looked like Panic in Needle Park.

Most of the ethnics are gone, replaced by gentrifying hipsters and yuppies, what fun

118 Public: They're righting historic wrongs, like racism.

Private: Cloward-Piven. Overload society so it collapses and you can replace the government with Communism.


It also demoralizes the population. One big difference between the ghetto and regular America is the "mind your own business, keep your head down" attitude everyone has in the ghetto. In nicer areas, people will speak up when they see people behaving badly. Sometimes this goes wrong and people become "Karens", but generally this is a GOOD thing. People care about their community and they police bad behavior.

This absolutely does NOT happen in the ghetto. Everyone's terrified and demoralized. Even when there are horrible things like children and pregnant women getting murdered in front of witnesses, nobody knows nothing when the police show up.

People like this tend to vote for draconian government control and don't act when the government oversteps.

119 There's a reason I voted blue across the board, except for a protest vote against Krasner. The guy just drifts wherever the political headwinds push him. During the Floyd/BLM protests he allegedly was hard on police reform, now he's allegedly hard on crime because that's all the rave.

He's a politician looking to grow his brand so he can make the jump to the federal level. Our very own Kamala.

I went so hard for Bernie in 2016 and 2020, that I became disillusioned with the Democrats after he got screwed out of the nomination twice. But the other thing that disillusioned me with the Democratic party is Larry Krasner and all his stupid bullshit like this. He's going out of his way to protect this double murderer piece of shit Lavar Brown, to the point that he's fucking over the families of his victims.

The PA AG is a Republican. This neuters our local elected governance and ties it to the whims of the Fox News loving state Republitards who think Philly is constantly burning and love to fuck over Philadelphia (SEPTA?), under the noble idea of oversight I’m sure nobody will ever manipulate. And two Democratic judges went with it.

I see the problem here -- you are looking for logical coherency from the Left.

- they believe they are victims and not to blame for their crimes
- they believe all cultures and people are equal, and good.
- they believe that everyone they interact with (whites, corporations, police,...) are evil and incapable of good intentions.
- they believe that minorities (good, and honorable) should be kept as far from them as possible


They also believe that "we" should give more money to poor, stop burning hydrocarbons,... but that "I" (them) should not do those things because it would inconvenience them.

133 I would think this decision would now open Krasner up to lawsuits stemming from any harm caused by a criminal act after one of these folks is let off. They say he is, at a minimum, not exercising due care (negligence). And, possibly doing it intentionally, for his own ends - which would make it intentional (gross negligence).

It was providing seed money and then getting the federal government to fund it through grants to NGOs.

Iran got a pony. Remember when we were going to get rid of Iran’s ballistic missile program?

Trump, today: “In other words, they must have missiles to some degree, because others have them. When others have them, you need to have them too. There are people who say: 'It is forbidden to give them even one missile'. I have such people around me - I like some of them, but I don't think they are particularly smart. They say: 'We must not allow them to hold any missiles'. So I asked: What exactly are you proposing? That we allow Saudi Arabia to hold missiles, but not Iran? And they answered: 'Yes, sir'. It simply doesn't work that way. And missiles are not the real problem. Missiles can hit a specific target, but they do not destroy the world."

it's a confusing situation made so by the Rs to make it look like the Ds "pulled one over on them" when really they were in on the op. they are all trying to stop PDJT.

Although the killing of Niño Geuerrero, the head of Tren de Aragua, at the request of the current government of Venezuela got all the news, Venezuela AND Brazil are starting sweeps to arrest and kill the rest of them. I suspect Iran is as shattered in control as Venezuela, and the US will be offering the services to burn out those last IRGC fanatics who decide that forever war against the Great Satan is better than having running water and an electric stove.

228 I lived in Philly for a few years. I used to visit there often. I doubt I will voluntarily ever go down there again other than for Phillies games (in which I can just pop off of I-95 and not have to enter the city).

Here's another of Krasner's little projects. The Kennsington Neighborhood of Philly has taken on the name "Zombieland and/or Zombieville". It is recognized as the largest open-air drug market on the East Coast. Kensington is heavily laced with xylazine, an unregulated animal tranquilizer, mixed with fentanyl. Xylazine profoundly sedates users, causing them to slump over in catatonic states and lose coordination, which has led to the "zombie" moniker.

And Krasner lets it happen. After a while the cops just said "screw this" and let them infest the area.

236 In case anyone doubt the cristaline credential of David Collum ( who I see is being defended by the usual suspect) as an antisemite, let's take a look :

"Victor Davis Hanson :
Recently, there’s been more revision about World War
II. Tucker Carlson had on his show the other day a chemistry professor from Cornell University, David Collum, that was sort of resonating what a prior blogger, Darryl Cooper, had said about World War II, in the vein of Diana West, Pat Buchanan, all the way back to Herbert Hoover...The gist of it was: We should have never allied with the
Soviet Union, and we should have either let Adolf Hitler and
Josef Stalin fight it out or, in the case of David Collum, he
suggested that we might have wanted to fight with Hitler, or, in other words, he said we were on the wrong side."

It's a mystery why Collum is being called an antisemite! True mystery!

Their GDP dropped by at least 50% in the last 2 months.

And they can't really sell much oil, assuming they can actually find buyers at all, because we've taken or sunk a bunch of their shadow fleet and it takes weeks to get anywhere by sea.

The bigger problem is that they don't have access to dollars to buy food imports unless they play along.

The point overall was to make Iran less belligerent, not to destroy the nation and turn it into glass.

Part of it is that if the strait is open for a few weeks, all the Western tankers will get out and no longer be held hostage, and the Iranian tankers will get out and be vulnerable to seizure if things go that way again. Iran loses a lot of leverage.

Meanwhile, I imagine (with no evidence) that the other gulf states are furiously laying pipe.

And reserves (US, Japan,....) are going to be filled. After 60 days, if this starts again, it is very likely that the leverage on their side will be much weaker.

"Burning Cross" Reminiscent of the Days of Jim Crow and the KKK Turns Out to Have Been a Hoax Perpetrated by a Left-Wing Gay Asian Man Who Now Claims He Had No Idea It Was a Symbol Intended to Intimidate and Terrify

He's saying this because he can be charged for making a terroristic threat, if Chicago wanted to prosecute an antifa leftist, which it doesn't.

But the possibility is there. So he's saying he had no idea the cross was used as a symbol of intimidation. See, he may have done the act, but, like Hillary Clinton, he didn't have intent.

Chicago Cross-Burning Incident Blamed on 'White Supremacists' was Carried Out by Leftist Anti-Trump/Anti-MAGA Protester | Margaret Flavin, The Gateway Pundit

On June 9, 2026, police and firefighters responded to a burning cross in Chicago's Grant Park.

The incident prompted immediate backlash, and one local church offered a $10,000 reward to help make an arrest, and local officials were quick to blame the incident on racism and 'white supremacists.'

Block Club Chicago reports that Rev. Michael Pfleger of St. Sabina Church, who offered the reward, noted, "Racism has always been a part of America's DNA, and this week it has raised its head boldly and loudly," Pfleger said in a statement.

"This bold rise of racism must be condemned by every race, faith community, and Chicagoan as was done with the swastika and treated as a hate crime."

In a statement Wednesday afternoon, Mayor Brandon Johnson said the police investigation "remains ongoing."

"Like many Chicagoans across our city, we were deeply disturbed upon seeing the images which have emerged following this incident," the statement said. "Hate has no place in our city. Every Chicagoan deserves to feel safe, protected, and respected while going about their day or enjoying our public spaces."

Several members of the council's Black Caucus learned about the incident Wednesday morning when asked about it by Block Club Chicago. Ald. Greg Mitchell (7th) was initially speechless when a reporter showed him a photo of the burning cross.

"I can't believe it's 2026, we are still dealing with stuff like that ... That's the simplest I can put it," Mitchell said.

As it turns out, however, the cross-burner is an Asian man, Merlin Lu, who burned the cross, adorned with a MAGA hat, to protest President Trump and MAGA.


I look forward to Gov. Pritzker holding Merlin Lu accountable because (MAGA) hate has no home here in Illinois, right?

-- Dan Proft (@DanProft) June 16, 2026

Lu, a senior at the University of Illinois Chicago, spoke with NBC.

"He's just scamming people," Lu told the reporter.

"We're just being scammed out of money, right. And I think that's a great reflection of how this country works right now, where money controls everything."

As for burning the cross, which the Anti-Defamation League says is one of the "most potent hate symbols in the United States," Lu responded, "I wanted to find something that I could do by myself, like no organization, no friends," he added.

"I did know about this historical relevance beforehand, but I didn't know the severity, how racially motivated it may seem from what I did."

The Gateway Pundit reached out to local police for additional comment and will be updated if a response occurs.

He says it wasn't a racist act because he just wanted to terrify the black population into voting against Trump, not just terrify them generally.

It's that ever-present "Because Trump" excuse.

The stunt took place in the same park where former President Barack Obama delivered his acceptance speech when he was elected the nation's first black president in 2008.

It sparked a furious backlash and prompted the Chicago Police Department to release photos of a suspect, which Lu has now claimed is him.

Police have confirmed a person is in custody for arson, but have not confirmed if it is Lu.

University of Illinois Chicago senior Lu told NBC Chicago he concocted the stunt as a way to protest President Donald Trump and the MAGA Christian nationalists that support him.

'He's just scamming people,' Lu told the outlet. 'And I think that's a great reflection of how this country works right now, where money controls everything. Money has power over health care. Money has power over transportation.'

The cross was set ablaze with a red MAGA hat on top of it.

So if you ever commit a hate-crime and need a defense, just say you were doing the hate-crime ironically to Raise Awareness of Trump's perfidity. Works every time.

See, he just saw the burning cross on a Wikipedia page and read no further.

Pressed by NBC 5 on how he made it through four years in college without realizing how hateful burning crosses were, Lu admitted the extent of his research was reading a Wikipedia page.

"I just saw the Wikipedia page with the movie with the, like, I think it's called like 'Under One Nation' or something like that," he said, misidentifying the infamous 1915 movie "Birth of a Nation," which popularized much of the modern KKK's imagery.

When Chicago BlacKKK mayor Brandon Johnson was asked about the now-confirmed hoax, he still insisted his political ally's attempt to frame the opposition was a frightening reminder of the KKK:

"It's a painful reminder of how hatred towards black Americans still permeates in our society."



Note that the "reporter" repeats his claim that he just didn't know what a burning cross meant as fact, while also claiming he's only "alleged" to have set the cross on fire (which she also says he "admitted").

It's very strange which admissions in this story are "alleged" and which legal-defense claims are "facts."

Happy Wednesday. The crows hung out just outside my window while I drank coffee. They'd finished eating and seemed to just want to be my friends.

So Moscow has made life miserable for the provinces, and then sends them to die in Ukraine, unruffled by the losses because they don't like that group of "russians" much anyway. And the globalists in Ukraine send their lads to die knowing that they are the underclass and anyway, they have a yacht and property in London or Georgia or wherever they are hiding the money they steal from the US.

134 It is a statement on just exactly how devoid of any rational idea the left has. It is a sign of their desperation, and realization that the midterms are probably not going to go the way they hoped and that they will be royally fucked in 2028.

Democrats and RINOs want FISA 702 more than Trump does and Trump is tightening the squeeze by delaying the new DNI appointment, allowing Pulte to become acting, and demanding that the Dems in NY allow a successor to the SDNY appointment that his DNI nominee had filled.

He got very upset when I pointed out that the Jazz Band he played in was simultaneously at a Bar that very same night.

171 The perpetrator said "no intent" for his actions to be a hate crime.

TikTok dot com/NBC@chicago/video. NBC5 Investigates Exclusive (a longer video with an article accompanying it.)

Merlin Lu (a 21-year-old from Naperville, Illinois) previously identified himself as a student at the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC). However, university officials clarified that he has not been enrolled since the fall of 2025. UIC is located at 1200 W Harrison St, Chicago, IL 60607 in the Near West Side neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois. (NBC5)

It appears Lu had work experience with Argonne National Laboratory. Argonne National Laboratory is a federally funded research and development center

From its web page: Argonne is a multidisciplinary science and engineering research center where leading scientists and engineers work together to answer the biggest questions facing humanity – from how to obtain reliable and affordable energy, to how to protect ourselves from emerging threats. Ever since we were born out of the University of Chicago’s work on the Manhattan Project in the 1940s, our goal has been to make an impact — from the atomic to the human to the global scale.

So in US, we generally mean yellow - china, japan, VN...

In Europe, "asian" replaced oriental. Oriental made sense but it referred to anyone who had to sail west to get there and includes everyone - it is not a race or a useful term and is now mostly used to hide the fact that they are the same damn muslim invaders that have harassed Europe for centuries.

So if anyone is wrong, it is the Europeans. A solid first order conclusion in any situation.

There were, historically, two types of cross-burnings.

One was the Klan would get together at their Klan-base or out in the woods somewhere, build a giant cross and set it alight. They called it "The illuminated cross" IIRC. It was a ritual intended for the Klansmen only.

The other was what you described.

The New Klan is/was subsidized by the Left, which uses lies and deceit on a galactic scale to fleece the Trump Deranged nutcases of their NEPO cash. When the Left Cartel members get caught, they claim to be ignorant dummies - "We didn't know what that means! We're to stupid to be arrested!"

That usually works, because there's no law against being a dummy. Heck, if that was the case, there'd be a police cordon around every DNC event.

Wednesday Morning Rant

25%

Late last week, Elon Musk's SpaceX dominated headlines with its IPO. The company went public and raised $75 billion at $135 per share, valuing the company at $1.77 trillion. Not to be outdone, SpaceX has continue to run up, closing at $192.50 yesterday, with a market cap of an eye-watering $2.642 trillion, becoming the fourth most valuable company in the world. Elon Musk, at least on paper, is now a trillionaire.

What I find most interesting about this is not the preposterous valuation or the caterwauling the usual suspects, but the stated basis for that valuation. In the company's SEC filing is one of the biggest pieces of, let's call it "optimism" ever put into a prospectus. That valuation on SpaceX has little to do with space as such, and rather a lot to do with computers and networking. That is not a surprise, given that SpaceX as a space development company is not profitable. Developing rockets is extremely expensive and getting Starship over the line is capital-intensive. There is also tremendous opportunity there, as ultra-heavy launch capacity comes online.

But neither SpaceX as a space development company nor SpaceX as a networking company are the basis of its IPO valuation. Starlink is profitable, but it isn't driving the share price. Per its own S-1, SpaceX sees both as minority components in the total enterprise value. From page 11:

We believe we have identified the largest actionable total addressable market ("TAM") in human history. We estimate that our quantifiable TAM is $28.5 trillion, consisting of $370 billion in Space from space-enabled solutions; $1.6 trillion in Connectivity across $870 billion in Starlink Broadband and $740 billion in Starlink Mobile as well as additional opportunities in enterprise and government; $26.5 trillion in AI across $2.4 trillion in AI infrastructure, $760 billion in consumer subscriptions, $600 billion in digital advertising, and $22.7 trillion in enterprise applications. For illustrative purposes of sizing our addressable market opportunity, we exclude China and Russia from our global estimates.
So per the company, the market for the space part of SpaceX is about a third of a trillion dollars, the market for the Starlink part of SpaceX is about a trillion and a half, and market for the nascent AI part of SpaceX is approximately the size of the entire combined economy of the European Union.

It's outlandish. Per the company's S-1, they put their total addressable market across all three business areas at very nearly a quarter of gross global product - and they don't even include Red China in the figure! Of course, that entire addressable market - even if real - wouldn't belong entirely to SpaceX, but the figure itself is absurd on its face. That market size estimate for AI - $26.5 trillion - is larger than the annual production of every country except one. If you're wondering what a mania looks like, this is it. A reasonable reaction to that estimated market size would be laughter. The actual reaction was, "shut up and take my money."

Unlike many AI firms, SpaceX is a real company with real products. It has a profitable division (that division has some headwinds, but also additional potential in mobility) and a capital-intensive development arm that will continue to open new capabilities and markets. I could see betting - even betting a lot - on SpaceX. But that is not what this IPO was about. This IPO was about xAI and Musk has managed to capitalize on the mania in a very big way. I have no idea if he nailed the top of this thing or not (that old saw about irrationality and solvency remains as true as ever), but he may have come close.

When the air comes out of the AI bubble - whether because eventually people start blinking as in the Dot-Com Bubble, or because the liability and market compression because of weaponization potential, or something else altogether - Musk is unlikely to still be a trillionaire. But he will still hold the dominant position in space development, orbital communications and will have used the mania to raise a stupendous amount of new capital.

Every bubble has winners and losers. The odds are good that Musk walks away from this one as a winner.

14 Nahhhhhh. It'll be fine.

OOF: OpenAI’s financials have leaked, showing $21 billion in losses against $13 billion in revenue. “Is there a path to profitability? Maybe. OpenAI’s two biggest expenses are R&D and marketing. Budget cuts there, coupled with an ability to raise prices or win new sources of revenue, could see the company move into the black over time. Cutting R&D would be the most difficult part of that, given that AI companies can only hold onto their customers by generating the best-performing models.”

Switching is easy and cheap for customers, retaining them is difficult — and expensive.

38 Thanks for the details Joe. Because when I first saw the valuation I said it’s absurd because it’s an aerospace company but being valued as a tech company à la alphabet or meta…. But that AI part makes it more understandable. I’m still not buying at that price though… way overvalued IMHO

Musk had a fuckhuge heap of cash from his first successes and the willpower to take that and build real things, instead of just coasting along and squeezing money out through MBA faggotry. He stands out because contemporary Western business culture is pathetic.

He was never particularly concerned with the opinions of our dysfunctional ruling class and their priesthood until they started turning his kids into freaks. Quite the own-goal, there. A lot of the Western rich react differently - they want social acceptance. South Africa showed Musk where navigating by feels will get you.

Eh, people are expecting SPCX to perform like Tesla.

Tesla was always grossly overvalued. Still is.

However, it kept rising insanely in value, even before it was selling many/any cars.

Once Elon lost his halo due to buying Twitter and supporting Trump, Tesla stock fell.

I wish I could of gotten some SPCX on the release, but sadly, no.

SPCX is roughly $190 today. If you bought on the IPO date and sold at $190. That's a 40% profit.

I expect a lot of people will sell, this week.

And then we'll see where it settles.

I'll buy some then probably, but not go hog wild about it.

We built out the capacity that was needed for the internet back in the 90s.

We have more $ in bullets, pm's, and serious weapons than most people have in their 401k's so we aren't necessarily hurting.

I still kick myself a bit for not throwing a few thousand into BTC years ago, but it's doubtful we'd have successfully navigated self-custody of the keys that whole time anyways. A number of vulnerabilities have been discovered regarding the oldest wallets, and it's to the point where you basically have to transfer your entire balance to a new wallet after certain types of transactions. You rarely hear about how many of the original big holders actually managed to keep their stash. And, of course - not your keys, not your coins. The exchanges are questionable.

In rural areas, often better options are not present for internet service at a high speed. So you get clusters in market towns with decent high priced internet either fiber or cable. Outside of that, you get either wireless data or satellite. Elon focused on Starlink and satellite and put his in low earth orbit with a lot of them and it slowly branching into sat phone territory as augmentation to cell networks.

He went toward a high priced niches (sat phones and high speed internet) where he could easily outprice the existing smaller providers (Hughes and the remainder company after Iridium went belly up early) and is now extending his coverage as he built up services and capabilities. His cheap launch and cheap satellites are effectively not reproducible by competitors and wireless mobile competitors often have irritating issues on streaming and processes requiring continuing dataflows without hiccups. So he is eating into those markets as well.

Move that scenario to the third world, and Starlink suddenly becomes the easiest way to avoid censors, get reliable internet and comms, etc.

I think that part of his strategy is sound.

Substantial division in population though, about half save something, and the other half spends every nickel it gets. Some of it is because welfare types look at it as their 'job' and figure they can rely on it, Some of it is people aging out and burning through pensions and savings, and some are too rich to get government assistance but don't make enough income yet to set aside much (some because they spend every nickel and some because their monthly burn for living expenses is about the same as their income).

You are right that is no guarantee, but I think investing in mid/large fund companies, and especially index funds, is a good strategy.

Not sure that I'd take political advice from a corgi, but...

I think people fundamentally misunderstand what Trump is doing.

He is an Economic Warrior. Under him Economics is War by another name.

Trump's establishing something that has never been truly done seriously and that is establish a Pax Americana.

Trump likes peace and basically economics is a kinder, though relentlessly grinding down of opposition and rivals.

He used war to give Iran a shot at peaceful prosperity in a well-ordered peaceful, economically robust Pax Americana.

Will it work? eeeehhhhh, I expect the Irans will minimally comply then break the peace. My guess is by attempting to assassinate Trump.

I doubt it. People see WWII as the typical war. It isn't. Most wars actually end by negotiations, not unconditional surrender. The same swan song, like in Korea with MacArthur getting fired, is that we should have went in and defeated the Chicoms. Or Patton's argument post WWII that we should arm the Germans and go after the Soviets.

When one has no skin in the game, it becomes very easy to become the most belligerent in the room like Dick Cheney and his daughter Lynn or John McCain as senator. For those of us that care about the troops and their families, not so much.

Simply put, you have to kill somewhere above 30 percent or so of all military age males to achieve something like unconditional surrender. But, in a place where most of these militaries are located in mosques, cities, etc., you are going to end up killing a helluva lot of civilians as well. And accept a lot of your own fine young troops are going to die, be maimed, etc. as well to root out the remainder of the regime on the ground.

As in Israel in Lebanon and Gaza. And Chicoms and Russians make sure it costs us.

Eh, if Trump can just stabilize the debt to GDP ratio, it becomes a non issue so he is trying the extreme growth scenario where our private economy grows much faster than our government deficit (see the German economic miracle post WWII as an example). And yes, inflating away is one of the strategies on national debt but the pain is a helluva lot less if you reduce domestic consumption and handouts like to illegals. That reduces pressures on rent, housing, and food as well as getting US natives back into employment markets again and off the dole.

The key to low inflation is more productivity gains than austerity programs.

We did that with Germany and Japan. We had to drop nukes on Japan to end it without troops on the ground and we had to invade Germany with high casualties to end that regime.

Ice = water for drinking and reaction mass. Handy to have, especially if it's already in space.

Nickel-iron asteroids are essentially pure metal. At current prices (which of course you wouldn't get), the metal in 16 Psyche is worth $10,000 quadrillion, more than 100,000 times the global economy.

Even a small 1.6 km asteroid (of which there are many) would have $20 trillion worth of metal in it.

Again, that's at current prices. Of course the price would go down drastically if you started dumping metals on the market in that volume.

Still, it's clear that there are metric fucktons of money out there, if you can figure out a way to get it economically.

This was a rather major plot point in Babylon 5 when the Centauri did exactly this to their Narn rivals.

When it was pointed out that mass drivers were forbidden to be used as weapons, the Centauri shrugged their shoulders and said, "So? What do you plan to do about it?"

"Hamas’s leadership in the Gaza Strip, under Yahya Sinwar and Ismail Haniyeh, is currently aiming for an arrangement that will ensure calm with Israel, in order to generate economic progress that will improve the situation in the Palestinian territory, Jerusalem believes."

A few are new nics trying to pick a scab, others are people that want maximum war to fix things now and for the foreseeable future, others are more cautious. And almost everyone here has been burned by GWB's GWOT and those wars before that. A diversity of opinion is fine, but the key to good faith is for a person to lay out exactly what plan they propose instead of the current negotiations and what are the costs in doing what they want instead.

176 HEre is more!

"According to military assessments, Sinwar, the head of Hamas’s political bureau in the Strip, is leading the conciliatory line of thinking and is interested in attaining significant economic achievements, by way of an arrangement with Israel.

Military leaders are of the opinion that Hamas’s decision to refrain from holding protests along the Israel-Gaza border over the past three weeks, in a departure from its previous policy, is a sign of the calming messages it is seeking to send to Israel. The IDF views this as a positive development."

183 yeah, modern knowledge is playing havoc with the ancient conspiracy theories. why would the anunaki come to earth and create humans to mine gold for them, when they could just sit in the kuiper or asteroid belt and pick it out of asteroids?

'bout the only thing they'd need to come to earth for is cow rectums, which you won't find in the asteroid belt (useful as valves in your propellant plumbing). which leaves cattle mutilation as the only alien conspiracy theory standing.

The sheer amount of material in the Kuiper Belt is staggering. Yes, it's spread out over an enormous volume, but if you aren't concerned with time because you can operate for centuries or millennia at a continuous pace, you can harvest enough material to last for millions, if not billions of years.

Posted by: "Perfessor" Squirrel at June 17, 2026 12:11 PM (gnNyN)

184 > they posit it's actually *cheaper* to mine the Kuiper Belt Objects for water and ice

As Heinlein once put it, once you've reached earth orbital velocity, you're halfway to *anywhere*, and that's not far wrong.

Launching something from Earth into Earth orbit requires a velocity change of about 11 km/s.

Bringing something from the Kuiper Belt to Earth orbit requires a velocity change of 15–16 km/s.

There's a bonus there, too. Any rocket engine launching from Earth requires an acceleration of > 1 g just to get off the ground. Something already in orbit (Kuiper Belt or wherever) can be moved with *any* acceleration, no matter how small. Depends on how much patience you have.

213 Simply put, you have to kill somewhere above 30 percent or so of all military age males to achieve something like unconditional surrender. But, in a place where most of these militaries are located in mosques, cities, etc., you are going to end up killing a helluva lot of civilians as well. And accept a lot of your own fine young troops are going to die, be maimed, etc. as well to root out the remainder of the regime on the ground.

Senator Elizabeth Warren criticized President Donald Trump for policies she says reduced health-care coverage for millions while benefiting wealthy Americans through tax cuts. Warren also pointed to billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk as an example of growing wealth concentration, arguing that current economic conditions strengthen the case for a federal wealth tax on the nation’s richest individuals.

I read a lot of astronomy and physics pop science books and watch a lot of videos/courses. Ever since LeMaître it seems as if a driving force behind a small but significant subset of physicists is constructing theories that do not look like Genesis.

As far as I know, LeMaître never publicly connected the big bang with Genesis. But he was a priest, and there was no denying the resemblance (Eddington found the resemblance “repugnant” but undeniable).

42 "The painting "Sleep and His Half-Brother Death" by John William Waterhouse symbolizes the relationship between the Greek gods Hypnos (Sleep) and Thanatos (Death), representing the duality of life and death. The figure of Sleep is depicted in light, while Death is shrouded in darkness, highlighting the contrast between the two states."

Poppies: The figure of Sleep holds poppies, which symbolize narcosis and dreamlike states, further enhancing the theme of sleep and its connection to mortality.

Waterhouse painted this work after the loss of his two younger brothers to tuberculosis, adding a personal layer of grief and reflection on mortality to the piece. It was also his first exhibit at the Royal Academy, marking an important moment in his artistic career

43 If Sleep and Death are half-brothers, who are their parents?

Do they have the same mother and different fathers?

Or the same father and different mothers?

Any other siblings (half or whole) on their family tree?

"Despite their similar poses in the painting, the character in the foreground is bathed in light, while his brother is shrouded in darkness; the first therefore represents Sleep, the latter Death."

The Duke of Sussex could be set to take his family to the UK for the first time in four years to attend events in Birmingham marking one year until the Invictus Games.

The Duchess has not made a prolonged trip to the UK since the late Queen's funeral that September, apart from occasional stopovers in London for foreign tours.

The children have not seen their grandfather King Charles III in person since their last trip to Britain in June 2022 for Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

221 Sleep and His Half Brother Death
John William Waterhouse

Oh, my. This was Waterhouse's first Royal Academy exhibit, painted in 1874, after both of his younger brothers died of tuberculosis.

I'd say 'well done,' but I couldn't hang today's art selection.

The MythologyIn Greek mythology, Hypnos (Sleep) and Thanatos (Death) are twin brothers, born to Nyx (the goddess of the Night) and Erebos (the god of Darkness). Because sleep and death are physically and visually so similar—a motionless, dreamlike state of rest—the ancients frequently grouped them as twin expressions of mortal peace and cessation.

But Muldoon rules, as always:
34. Search Their Pockets for Loose Change - a limerick

The twin brothers 'Sleep' and 'Death' Shearer
Had similarities that grew ever nearer
So, how to tell the diff?

And the other can still fog a mirror!"

Iran is driven mostly by religious fanaticism and to a much lesser extent, the desire to breath oxygen continuously, mitigated by the promise of martyrdom and 72 virgins.

I recall reading about the main police forces where these things happened were under the same agency (different forces, same policy makers to follow). So, I went down an X rabbit hole trying to find the particulars.

While I couldn't find that post, I saw this one.

A father tried to rescue his daughter. Instead of helping him, the police arrested the father! This wasn't the only incident I read of this happening, but it does make things even more nefarious and evil. The police are in on it, as well as the lawmakers.

The 94-page indictment alleges the cell trained extremists in surveillance, rapid mobilization, shield tactics, blockade operations, and methods designed to interfere with federal immigration enforcement.

The indictment also identifies the Black Cat Workers Collective, a Minneapolis-based Antifa affinity group, as a key component of the network. The group promotes militant tactics, physical confrontation, and revolutionary political objectives while organizing actions against ICE and law enforcement, according to prosecutors. . .
The defendants have been charged with conspiracy to impede or injure federal agents and officers, alleging they worked together from January through June 2026 to prevent ICE and other Department of Homeland Security personnel from carrying out federal duties.

Posted by: Sponge

They were stupid enough to flaunt having enough highly enriched uranium to build a dozen bombs in negotiations. From 60 percent, it is merely a couple of weeks to refine that up to bomb grade.

That is what led to the more widespread strikes in Iran. Regime change failed as the people that would lead such a thing got killed in January and February before we struck again, the rest are a lot more cautious now. And the Kurds in Iran apparently betrayed the cause by keeping and selling the arms and Starlinks that were destined for the Iranian resistance.

So the idea of bombing the regime until the regime changes just was not going to happen and Trump is NOT going to send troops into Iran in a shooting war to retrieve the Uranium. That left destroying the civil infrastructure--power plants, water systems, transportation, and oil export facility at Kharg Island. That is what we hold in reserve along with blockade.

So we negotiate again for now and MOU is simply what each side wants without providing a guide to the order that each has to occur.

Turned out to be a complete disaster which is why Iran has so much influence in Iraq.

Regime change has rarely worked out well for the US. Ukraine is a pretty good example. The only thing that works is for the indigenous people to do it. For all the talk I haven't seen the Iranian people doing much rising up.
Posted by: JackStraw

Well, they did but their timing sucked and the Iranian Kurds apparently stole what aid we tried to send like arms and Starlink terminals. US forces were not in place to help them by decapitation strikes. As a result,the bravest and most fearless got slaughtered and imprisoned 60k to 100k by estimates. That survival of the regime must have caused the stupid Iranians to brag about their stash of nuke material that we knew was somewhere after the Fordow strike last summer.

We didn't plan those uprising, the Iranians did. And what are you going to do to the Iranian Kurds? Bomb them? All that will do is complicate our basing with their cousins in N. Iraq.

Accept that sometimes there are not good options in war and we were never going to fight a war to free Iran ever. We don't have the army to do it right now, it is doubtful we would have the basing allowed to set up large impoundments in Gulf States to do it, nor would logistics be easy either.

We can pretty much keep them contained like the Soviets and keep them from nukes but not fix their society. Heck, look how long the Gaza operation has dragged on and Israel has boots on the ground, control of borders, etc. And still Gazans try to murder and kill, same in the Palestinian Authority areas or Lebanon.

Iran is not Venezuela nor is it even Iraq. But we have more or less destroyed the mullahs as a political beard for a military dictatorship under the IRGC.

In truth, I can't say that I blame them too much. The US has been betraying and fucking over the Kurds for decades. About every 20 years we support them with small arms and ammo for awhile and then someone in Washington decides that it's time to screw the Kurds as part of a diplomatic gesture to the Turks/Iraqis/Iranians etc. Combine that with the general Middle Eastern obsession with theft and backstabbing and the outcome isn't a surprise.

We've seen indications before, but it appears that the practice of threatening parents reporting the offenses with jail time was very widespread, for a couple of decades. Along with charging the victims and other forms of official reprisal.

Euroland usually has a state official media of some sort, their main wire service is Thomson Reuters, and they have several national ideologically organized newspapers. Like in the UK, you have BBC and Sky (controlled opposition media), the Times (NYT replica), Daily Telegraph (Tory), Financial Times (WSJ clone), the Guardian (Labor-Leftie), the Independent (as it sounds but leans left), and the Daily Mail (tabloid--celebutard/royals with some nuggets of news).

The UK government and political establishment does not have to do much to stop the presses and hide the news. Where the leakage occurs is the internet which is where GB News, foreign news services, and social media including X). They want those leaks plugged.

Don't mistake the 'support' the Kurds give the US. They do their own thing in support of their own goals and they are NOT a monolith as people seem to assume here. Iraqi Kurds are not Syrian Kurds are not Turkish Kurds and certainly not Iranian Kurds. Each have their own agendas, their own enemies in those areas, and manipulate their own allies from the outside to get what they want.

We simply lacked many alternatives as Pakistan or Afghanistan were not going to be routes to provide arms which left the Kurdish corridor from Iraq to Iran in the Northwest border of Iran.

So no, we haven't 'betrayed' the Iranian Kurds, they were never a factor anyway. Likewise, the Syrian types were interested in helping their brethren in Turkey which in turn caused the Turks to enter Syria. It was the US mutual interest with the Syrian Kurds though to minimize Assad's control of the oil areas of Western Syria because that was funding the Assad regime and was also a target of ISIS to fund its ops.

We have never supported a Kurdistan fwiw.

355 The complex nature of the Kurds, along with the universal loathing of them is a problem in the Middle East and you go from the communist stylings of the PKK, to the smuggling culture in Iran's Kurds, to the resistance to Turkey and Erdogan, to the relatively pro US Iraqi Kurds that depend on us for autonomy.

To create a Kurdistan, it would have to create a narrow strip across four states and those Kurds don't have a common political outlook, don't necessarily share the same religion (Iranian Kurds in particularly lean Shi'a), and would be beset by Iran, Turkey, Iraq, and Syrian central governments immediately.

So no, we have not maltreated the Kurds as a people as we promised to try to stop them from being massacred but not to give them their own state. That is the deal.

357 It's hard for us to fathom just how tribal these Middle Eastern assholes are.

The various Kurds MIGHT ally temporarily to kill Arabs or Turks, but when that's done they'll immediately start fighting tribe against tribe. And when that's done, they'll start fighting village against village. And when that's done....

The Morning Report — 6/ 17 /26

Morning Report intro.jpg


Good morning kids. Early doctor's appointment for the wife this morning so off we go...

And as the details of the Iran ceasefire deal continue to dominate the headlines, the good bad and ugly, we have this item of some minor interest, eh?

A complaint from FBI task force officer Christopher Betts alleged that 19-year-old Tycen Proper of Knox County, Ohio, joined a group that wanted to unleash mass terror at the UFC event. The group wanted to target Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) and other elected officials they said had compromised themselves by taking money from “pro-Israel PACs,” according to the complaint. 

In messages plotting the attack, the FBI alleges that Proper wrote, “I got a possible target Marsha Blackburn is senator for Tennessee” because “she’s taken money from the Israel pro Israel lobby and supports them.”

The suspects planned to use explosive drones to drive a crowd in the direction of snipers, according to investigators.

Betts said that Proper, whom local law enforcement arrested last week, “admitted to planning with others a coordinated attack against the United States government during the UFC event scheduled to take place.”

Other elected officials seen as targets were Senator Jim Justice, Senator Shelley Moore Capito, Rep. Carol Miller, and Rep. Riley Moore — all of whom hail from West Virginia — Betts said a review of a chat planning the attack revealed. 

With that I give you this entry, a well-written yet clueless essay, given everything going on in this country that continues to tear us apart even as we approach our 250th birthday.

Principles for a Centrist Realignment: The Grand Alliance: The path to national renewal begins when Americans unite around common sense instead of division, decline, and perpetual crisis.

That's just the headline and subhead which is enough to make my point, but here's a bit more to whet your appetite or make you puke:

First, most Americans don’t want to live in a divided nation, and they don’t want to live in a culture that has devolved to cater to society’s lowest, most abnormal, deviant, hedonistic, psychotic, sociopathic, dishonest, crooked, lazy, defiant, bizarre, militant cohorts of individuals, regardless of the fact they’ve become politically organized and demand equality of outcome in every imaginable context. Most Americans understand the inherent necessity and benefits of nuclear families, hard work, and immutable standards for achievement and recognition.

Second, America’s culture of common sense and unity is threatened by a fractious coalition of fanatics and lunatics who are relatively small in number and who harbor an innate antipathy toward each other that is only held in check by rivers of money flowing to them from globalist billionaires, opportunistic corporations, environmentalist pressure groups, and government unions. Their resources are money and anger. . .

Where to even begin. If any of this were true, then California would not be Zimbabwe on the Pacific instead of what it once was; the world's sixth largest economy and where many once flocked to make their American dream become real. We as a nation and people are more divided than at any time in our history, perhaps even more than 1860. Because as fundamentally serious as the issue of slavery was, we are now divided by the perverse notion that our nation and society as founded is illegitimate and that those who support it and desire its restoration are an evil to be eradicated by any and every means necessary, as the foiled plot against the UFC event at the white House, and every other attack and assassination attempt has demonstrated to all but the blind deaf and dumb.

So, just like the moderates of Islam, where are the so-called "moderates" of the Democrat/Left in the wake of the aforementioned as well as all of the attacks on our values, institutions and even ourselves, be it the President, Laken Riley or the United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, Ashli Babbitt, Roseanne Boyland, and Austin Metcalf whose grave is being urinated upon to the cheering of those we are supposed to make peace with?

Sorry but in the immortal words of Andrew Breitbart FUCK YOU, WAR

And nothing but absolute victory will be acceptable to me.

Have a great day,

10 I am no longer as much a 'Trump'-ist as I was formerly. He has COMPLETELY abdicated the position of strength we formerly held in this conflict and has 'bent the knee' to the mullocracy. They now believe THEY're the winners 'cos they're (a) still alive, (b) getting their money, (c) keeping their 'nuke dust', and (d) still launching missiles at vessels transiting the Strait. WHAT, precisely, has Trump now 'won'? Sorry, but I have to look at what all the bluff and bluster has gotten him (and us). Nothing. The ONLY good thing to result from this misbegotten undertaking is that we didn't re-enact 'Bagram, Pt II'. Trump blew it.

14 3 — I say this with sadness. Trump stepped on his dick with this Iran deal. That NY Post story (a paper that’s usually friendly to Trump) is not pretty.

Yes, the initial bombardment weakened them a lot and set them back. But… given their worldview, when they survive they’ve won; they’ve slain the great Satan. They don’t want to be a normal country. Any deal, regardless of the details, is something they’ll break and is therefore worthless

Yet again we’ve kicked the can down the road; kicked it farther than before.. but it’s still down the road.

Given this outcome I’d almost prefer he didn’t start the thing and be satisfied with the results of last June’s bombings….

16 Proper joined a TikTok group called “Vanguard of the Old” in March 2026, where members discussed how they believed the United States needed to be destroyed and rebuilt from the ground up, according to the complaint.

17 FFS, no one before Trump wanted to deal with Iran. The snake isn't dead but it's defanged.

We had been on a trajectory with truly awful potential outcomes, set on course by Obama and ValJar who wanted to make Iran a regional hegemon. They unfroze hundreds of billions to that end. As if that wasn't enough they gave them pallets of cash for walking-around money to spread terror. Biden was their third term continuing this.

Trump got as much as he could without getting us sucked into a quagmire. Iran won't be much of an issue Come November. I say, well played sir.

19 JERSEY CITY, N.J. (PIX11) — Five women are recovering at the hospital after they were attacked with sulfuric acid in New Jersey on Monday night, according to a spokesperson for Jersey City.

The women were near 105 Wilkinson Ave. in Jersey City when two people on a moped drove past their car and threw acid on them, the spokesperson said. They were all transported to the hospital with skin burns and peeling but were expected to survive, the spokesperson reported.

According to police, the incident appears to be targeted and may have stemmed from an argument with a large group of people earlier in the day

64 Black Parole Supervisor Fired for Racist Remarks on Austin Metcalf: ‘Let Them Start Burying Some of Theirs for a Change.’

--

I couldn't get this out of my mind yesterday. It's so grotesquely disturbing. First off, it's become clear to me that a large percentage of American blacks cheer on each and every murder of a white person and will refuse to hold one of their own accountable. They hate whites that much. To argue otherwise is futile in light of all I've seen and heard the last decade and a half.

Secondly, where does this ignorant idiot get the notion white kids are running around in droves killing black kids...like St. Karmelo the Killer?

"Let them start burying some of theirs...?" Really? The only people killing blacks in large numbers are other blacks. This woman needs Jesus, but I don't hold out much hope she'll find Him. She's too poisoned.

Seriously: I do NOT understand why Trump failed to 'go for the gold' in this encounter. He's coming out of the deal looking like the loser - the mullahs are looking like winners.

High 80s here in Da Swamp, but then there's rain coming. By Saturday we'll be back to 90 again. The real horror is the humidity, and the fact it does not cool off to speak of at night. By August the low could be 85 and the high 95. Not much of a difference.

Not “immediate”; MOU says all sanctions to be lifted within 30 days, along with the withdrawal of all US military forces.

And to reiterate; no one in the administration is disputing this. Rubio is very conspicuously distancing himself from this deal as much as possible. We can only hope he’ll wait until after the midterms to resign.

123 The MOU (if legit) .....is a total surrender and a clear view into the admins (at least a vocal and dominant part of it that gives with Trump) thinking. And that thinking is not good in any way.

Again, if true, IRGC gets everything, cash, prizes and a vacation to the Bahamas. Keep the nuke material and can still close the strait whenever they want to. And sanctions are gone.

Yes, they are "defanged" but they can still close the strait and attack their neighbors infrastructure and develop nukes with missile capability.

Good news is Israel seems to be able to continue their moves on Hez and other Iranian cutouts in Lebanon. The energy flows and choke points are in the process of reordered and China got a taste of how very vulnerable they are and now have to purchase market oil in dollars. Long term that's a win.

But at the end of all of this....IRGC still in charge, still has missiles/drones...still has proxies (although deminished) and still has the nuclear dust.

I'm hoping that "leaked" MOU is incomplete or an early draft....if not, yeesh. Not good, stains those involved.

The fact that the same MOU is not only being published this morning by Bloomberg, but now in major news outlets in almost every Capital City around the world, is a strong sign that this administration is the one who’s “leaked” it in order to prepare for the signing on Friday.

And to repeat, no one in the administration is disputing any specific term in the now published MOU.

Also there’s no reason to believe there are “secret terms” ; Trump himself has said the entire MOU was barely a page and a half long. (Matching what’s being published)

221 A lot of people haven't a clue what the requirements are for a datacenter. They obviously vary.

One way to get involved and either advocate for them, or find out details to use in an effort to thwart them is to get on a county commission. A board, like one that rezones property, adjusts property taxes, does impact statements, crunches numbers, etc. Most of the time it's strictly volunteer work. Part time. Maybe an hour or two a month. Plus sitting in the meetings.

A number of locals have done just this. Most are against the proposed center, for a variety of reasons. But what the politicians and developers tell the locals is significantly different from what is documented in the commission's reports to government heads. That by itself is something of an issue. Transparency and all.

If you're passionate about them, go advocate for them. If not, go get involved in the planning processes and ask questions, inform the public, etc.

It costs nothing but time.

238 Another Major Transgender Suicide Study Crumbles

********

This article highlights THE major flaw/weakness of the specialty of adolescent medicine, and not only in the case of gender confusion. Whether dealing with questions of sex, drugs, or rock-and-roll, clinical studies in the field rely to a great extent on questionnaires and self-reported subjective feelings from adolescents. And we all know that adolescents are mature, not manipulative, and are always truthful on sensitive topics. /s The entire field is built on a foundation of emotions and self-serving self-reporting rather than actual measurable objective outcomes in a truly randomized fashion. The questionnaires themselves are crafted in a way that steers the results in a direction the authors prefer. Bogus science.

266 CHCO is trying to "split the baby" (which is an odd practice for a children's hospital) by pretending to re-open the TRUE Center while knowing that the docs at the Center are refusing to write the hormone prescriptions. This tells us that the HHS finding (that puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones in children are not supported by objective evidence) has real teeth. Good for RFK,Jr and his team. CHCO won't let a small minority of their clinical services jeopardize their flow of Medicaid bucks.

Mango tastes a bit like God decided to improve on the peach.

That will be perfectly ripe 99% of the time.

2,500 KIA in a morning? No way we'd be able to continue.

308 There seems to be a precedent with the whole going to war/boots on the ground thing. If you aren’t going yourself(I’m not), sending your kids to fight(they’re not) haven’t served(I haven’t) then you have no say. Okay fine. I am however paying for the military, I’m sure some of my FICA deductions are going to it. So in that I assume I have a say. I say disband the military, we don’t need it. Boots on the ground in some foreign country is a no go so there is no point in having troops. All it is is a welfare program. Nobody seems to be able to explain or give an example of when troops should be committed to fighting. What is a viable U.S. interest to commit troops? Clearly Iran getting nukes isn’t. So what is? Those with the authority to speak on military affairs should at least step up and say when we should put boots on the ground. Just like I’m not able to have an opinion on female matters, abortion for example, I will no longer have an opinion that involves the military. Only veterans or current active members can. So by all means what is the military for?

317 Voters reject effort to hike Oklahoma’s minimum wage. State Question 832 would have gradually increased the minimum wage to $15 per hour by 2029 with additional increases based on the cost of living.

Oklahoma’s minimum wage has been $7.25 an hour since 2009. It is also the national minimum wage.

$15 an hour on a typical full-time 40-hour workweek comes out to $31,200 a year, before taxes. Imagine being so brain-rotted to think this amount is making bank in the year 2026.

How can this happen? People making minimum wage who would benefit from this *have* to outnumber so-called "job creators" that would lose money from it by... a *lot*.

I suppose you can blame "epstein class" or the political parties or the media but sometimes its just the voters. can't fix stupid

When I went to vote, a bus load of older folks from a retirement home were dropped off. I knew it was doomed then. Also, it should be illegal to put these ballot questions on a random Tuesday in June. It needs to be on the November ballot.

Yes, but that's in the future. One of the first tortures scumbags like him must endure is no fast food available 24hrs a day, no Twinkies, no energy drinks, no alcohol, and so on. Then the torture of very lousy food, cold. Soon after is the torture of having to live by a rigid schedule. Then come the tortures of no internet, no TV (or at least no watching whatever you desire at any time), no porn. And so on, the tortures of losing every bit of the life you knew. Unfortunately, they only go through these tortures once. If only we could reset these small yet painful tortures, frequently for some of the scumbags.

Posted by: Ignoramus at June 17, 2026 06:45 AM (dtajH)

THIS. Trump has made the best out of a bad situation. I've always said that Trump's plan is to use Election Day as the point after which he can cut the head of the IRGC snake permanently. That deadline is for the IRGC and not Trump. This deal kicks the can down the road, takes Iran off the table as an election issue, comes closer to guarantee he keeps Congress (I'm not worried about that at all), and gives him a look at what the IRGC does to prepare for another conflict. The next time, we take Kharg Island, neutralize their defense of the Strait, and go after them with Trump not needing to answer to anyone domestiically.

For those who doubt Trump, answer me this: when has he EVER made a promise that he didn't keep, or try very hard to keep? Why would you think that Trump, knowing what had been done with Iran over 47 years, would not succeed where predecessors have failed?

"The coolest thing about the progress we've made over the last few weeks is that you see people within the Iranian system, senior leadership, even IRGC officials say, 'You know what? We may have some animosity. We may have some mistrust, but we recognize the way that we've done business with the United States for forty-seven years is a mistake. Let's try something else.'"

Iran is slightly larger than Alaska. One-sixth the size of the continental US. Many mountains and a large central plateau. There was no scenario where a ground presence of any size would have been anything but ground into paste. It's why I was always hesitant about hostilities and hoped there was someone in-country ready to do the job. There wasn't and here we are.

Unfortunate, because it means the trouble will return at a later date. But who's willing and able to pay the cost to finish it properly?

457 For those who doubt Trump, answer me this: when has he EVER made a promise that he didn't keep, or try very hard to keep? Why would you think that Trump, knowing what had been done with Iran over 47 years, would not succeed where predecessors have failed?
Posted by: Darrell Harris
======
All true. But I think a lot of people want regime change in Teheran and that is simply not something bombing can give you. It takes boots on the ground unless the people of Iran do it themselves. About 50-100k apparently tried an died as a result and failed to dislodge the IRGC and those were probably the bravest of the resistance.

We can destroy infrastructure like we did Saddam's Iraq, even perhaps pick off endless leaders du jour, but unless you plan on invading Iran with a 500k military and are prepared to take substantial casualties, regime change in the short run is simply not going to happen.

So that leaves the most unpleasant duty--containment. We can and have prevented Iran from producing a bunch of nukes in short order and their bragging about it in negotiations is why Trump acted when he did. Which was the US focus on Iran, not regime change.

Trump's only limitation is himself. His own sense of fairness and right and wrong, the information he has to hand, plus his instincts. Basically human limitations but not corrupt ones. Many or most are beholden to other interests. Bad ones because that's how those interests operate. Vance is one.

484 "Why didn't Trump just finish the job?"

Because he worked out what it would take to wipe out the Iranian regime. Basicially, Iraq II, and we saw how that ended up. We gained complete victory over Germany and Japan, but it required devastating violence on those countries and 2 million of their civilians dead. Never mind our own military casualities.

Trump was making noises about just Kharg Island, and then took a look around. Bloody shirts waved over 13 military deaths, half in a plane accident. A school, deliberately constructed on a military target gets bombed and it's "Trump Kills Little Girls." A regime that packs its own people around bridges and power plants. I saw photos. Trump is violently opposed by almost half of this country, people who'd gladly see the world burn if Trump burned with it. Even a drawn out blockade along with intermittent military action to keep Iran on the ropes for the rest of the year might have worked better on paper but it was infeasible and would have left the Abraham Accords in ruins.

The end has not been written. Israel is not going to sit quietly on the curb while Hezbollah lives. If Iran starts digging up centrifuges, the B-2s are still there.

485 With regards to "nothing but absolute victory will be acceptable". This reminds me of the approach Eisenhower took concerning the Nazis. Nothing but unconditional surrender was the term. Ike had this philosophy because he saw that not finishing the job with an incomplete victory in WWI simply delayed the inevitable renewed conflict.

We need leaders that understand the stakes of kicking the can down the road.

Eisenhower and Truman had considerably more support domestically than Trump does. Heck, Eisenhower was able to ride it into the presidency. It was a different, more patriotic country. We have had some hard lessons from Vietnam, which we tried to fight like WWII except that North Vietnam was a client state of the Soviet Union so "bombing Berlin" wasn't in the cards. And then there was Iraq, completely defeated by "troops on the ground," only to be worn down by ragged thugs with road bombs and the same domestic opposition as Vietnam had.

The film's theme song, "East Bound and Down", was written virtually overnight by [Jerry] Reed. He gave [Hal] Needham a preview of the song and, getting no reaction, offered to rewrite it. In response, Needham told Reed that he liked the song so much that if Reed changed even a word or a note, Needham would "choke him." It became one of Reed's biggest hits and his signature song.

"Why not just pick up and move to a city you’re interested in, rent a place for six months, live there explore the neighborhoods, experience a couple seasons and check it out. Then buy."

I looked into that. The cost to rent an apartment now, with deposits, pet deposits, rent, "pet rent" (what a scam!), and to move my furniture or store it, is horrifying, and would be better put into a house. I'm not sure any decent apartments will do six-month leases now; and breaking one early could cost as much as the rest of the lease.

And . . . I don't feel I have the *time.* It's taking me longer than I expected to *find* the right house. If I spent six months or a year spending 2x or more on rent what I put out now, and then find I *don't* like the place I'm scouting, then I'd need to start all over.

If I were in my fifties, and/or were not doing this alone, maybe. I don't think that would work. But I thank you for the advice!

I hope so, Pete. One place looks perfect, but has no garage; another has a garage, but no basement (though I might end up accepting that); another is listed as "needs a little TLC" or "as is" (no, thanks). I don't want to buy a roof or a central A/C unit right away. Interior paint or flooring, sure, but not such big stuff at the outset.

I've never had a basement in any of my apartments. I need the storage space, and if I'm moving to a tornado area I'll need a hidey-hole during alerts for me and the cats.

As for the garage, I want to protect the car not only from snow, but also from hail and hot sun. A place to wash the car and change my own oil would be great -- and to have more storage if possible.

43 FenSpouse and went to see "Sheep Detectives". Hugh Jackman did. a great job, the interaction between he and the sheep and between the sheep themselves was touching and funny. My only complaints were minor- various knocks against religion., and I find it strange that in an "traditional" English village, the shopkeeper is Asian, and the other rancher and the Anglican priest are black. I realize that in order to be considered for awards you have to have a diverse cast. It just seemed odd.

A Hot Brown sandwich is an open-faced sandwich that originated in Louisville, Kentucky, featuring layers of turkey breast, bacon, and tomatoes, all covered in a creamy Mornay sauce and baked until bubbly. It was created in 1926 at the Brown Hotel as a late-night meal option for guests.

“A Runza is a yeast dough pocket filled with seasoned ground beef, cabbage, and onions, originating from German Russian immigrants in the Great Plains and popularized by the Nebraska-based fast-food chain of the same name. It's similar to a bierock but is typically rectangular, and the restaurant offers many variations, including cheese, mushroom, and BBQ bacon.”

Local burger chain named Runza sells the above sandwich along with burgers, fries, etc. Only had it twice, but the burgers were pretty good.

There was a little Italian place we liked to go to in college. The food was good but it was never very crowded and we joked that it was a mob front. Or thought we were joking anyway. A couple of years after leaving town, they got busted for something shady.

147 Having lived there for a number of years, I think New Hampshire should be removed from any list where the topic is food. Most of the pizza places up there were still serving frozen pizza in the early 2000's. Too much of an Old English influence in that neck of the woods (literally). Apple cider doughnuts are one of those foods up there that everyone fusses over, but you can make better ones in your kitchen.

New Hampshire cuisine is lacking. The only exception is they had three or four places up there that served wild fare. Pheasant, buffalo, moose, and even bear meat on selected evenings.

That is pretty much true. Trump's first term was trying to be friendly to the establishment GOP in DC to get his promised platform enacted.

His second more resembles Sherman's March to the Sea because the establishment GOP joined with Dems to try to destroy him and MAGA.

Probably a lot of that. But what I find even strange is the almost complete lack of interest in cars as a means to go somewhere. That was pretty much all we thought about other than girls and how to go somewhere with girls.

Cars where the means to a constant road trip and I don't see that kind of interest today.

221 OrangeEnt - there's a Marriott in Rawlins. I've not stayed there, but folks from my office travel there sort of frequently. I am told Rawlins is kind of the armpit if Wyoming. The golf course there is supposed to be ok though.

Rawlins sounds like a mixed bag, but overall not great. I hope your experience there is a good one either way.

Rock Springs is worse than Rawlins. Sort of. You know what, that whole stretch of I-80 between Little America and Little America is not great. Unless I am in a hurry, I avoid it altogether.

He'll have money but his gubernatorial Dem counterpart is probably an anchor on his reelection. Keisha Lance Bottoms is not that popular in the Atlanta metro which is what Ossoff has to win big to carry Georgia.

Collins is going to be a tough opponent and if Jackson chooses to self finance millions more for governor against Lance Bottom, that will make Team Blue's task difficult.

Can "souls to the polls" do the same thing for Ossoff, in an off year election, as they did for Warlock?

I agree that Collins is a a good candidate. And a good fit for GA.

Regarding the blank slate billionaire: there are 2 GOP organizations that have proven themselves VERY good at GOTV: Early Vote Action (Pressler) and TPUSA (Turning Point Action PAC).

The blank slate gubernatorial candidate has expensive campaign consultants connected to the Republican National Governor's association.

Warnock paid metro voters by his canvassers distributing visa gift cards from sewer money in exchange for ballots. And Hershel was not a good candidate, his heart was not in the run. Trump misfired on that one. Plus Fulton County is crookeder than a dog's hind leg and the state GOP is fearful of going up against them (or at least the Kemp team was).

Ossoff though is a cypher even after six years in office--Warnock is a creep but has a genuine connection to Georgia.

And downstate voters are what put Lance Bottoms on top in the Dem primary, she underperformed in the Atlanta metro because her tenure in Atlanta as mayor was so awful. One term

309 Nevada... Shrimp Cocktail? WTF? Where do these shrimp come from? There is no ocean near me. I've lived here 45 years (total) and I have never heard anything about this great Nevada shrimp cocktail thing.

I also don't get out much so maybe I missed it all these years. Or maybe there IS an ocean out there and all I have to do is open the door and look really hard... and the desert will identify as an ocean.
Nevada's should have something to do with pine nuts. I mean if Vermont is maple syrup, pine nuts are Nevada.

Eh, for some personally, it was better, but I think it was probably a worse time for the US in general than the 80's. Worker wages stagnated in the 70's where one wage was no longer enough but two wage household accelerated the housing prices. Stagflation, Uniparty in full power in DC, and apart from some musical bright spots, bands that were great at teh first of the decade sorta petered out with disco by the end of the decade. TV was mediocre with minimal choices and murder got really bad by the 1972-73 and continued on and off due to drug trafficking through teh early nineties.

You must be the same 29 I am. Or thereabouts.

The 80's were college, work, and more work. I didn't have time to be a kid then. I was too busy adulting.

But the 70's? Ride my bike anywhere, stay out all damned day and some of the night, skip school every Friday to go skiing, sneak a beer after mowing the lawn, and there were no sexually transmitted diseases that would kill you, so, there's that.

And the music.

Really the golden age.

Bad enough that it'll be like Minnesota!

Ellison and Walz won statewide, I believe. Ditto Klobuchar, who might be worse than either one of those.

I fead a really good account of a federal trial in MN-- "Cardiac Arrest," I think was the name. That was awhile back, of course. I was ashamed of what the DOJ tried to do in that case.

Of course, the DOJ is under new management. I'm hoping for the best.

I DO plan to scan the 175-page indictment. But... life is short, so maybe not. From the news articles, the press conference and the list of offenses charged, seemed like it might be a bit short of VIOLENT overt acts in support of the conspiracy.

That may be what a jury will require to convict.

396 Very few people thought that if the libs lost to Trump they would just decide to not let him be president. Which is essentially what happened. I may have thought it, but few others did.

They began with Russia and ran out the first two years with that (which I explained at the time they were doing - punctuated by the stupid Mueller Hearing where he was just a doddering old man that knew nothing - they had nothing and ran out the clock), then went straight into the impeachments, then finally covid. They hamstrung him from Day 1 and had traitors up and down the admin, under the admin, around the admin. It was pure insanity.

He is only doing president stuff *now* through brute force, the fact that they expected him to be dead, and the foresight he had to kill the phony Epstein Op early in the admin before it really got rolling and wrecked Term 2.

398 Much like the music industry killed music, the car industry killed car culture. Its much easier to get legislation passed to force people to pay more for cars than to design cars cool enough to make people want to pay more. The last 25 years have been a campaign to make younger people view cars like they view refrigerators and make their music no more interesting or meaningful than background music in a movie. Another factor is akin to how Cessna used to build light planes but found it was more profitable to build a much smaller number of private jets. Car makers aren't really interested in building large amounts of affordable cars, more profit in building a much smaller number of expensive vehicles.

Or allowing such dudes to donate blood. The hedonism of the 70's in the gay community led directly to the spread of AIDS in the 80's which was in fact a problem for gay males. The straights that got it almost always were either through transfusions or via dirty needles from drug injections.

Depends on jury selection but a lot of blue voters are not down with the DSA violence crap. Even Democrats voters now have a majority wanting deportation. It is becoming more an 80/20 issue than a 50/50 like abortion.

The problem for Klobachar running for governor is that the legacy of Walz is going to continue to drip out via the fraud trials, the fed gov grants being stopped, the Somali misbehavior, etc. etc.

As senator, she could fly above that mess, as governor, she either has to repudiate Walz and Ellison the AG as increasingly it appears they are in legal jeopardy but certainly the state's fraud industry is, or embrace them.

The old welfare clients see their cheese literally being given to Somalis and that breeds a lot of resentment.

Then at the end of the decade, in HS, turning a corner I ran into a hot, dark skinned, preppy Latina girl named Danielle... : )

Someone has been not only organizing, but funding it... to the tune of serious money.

And as that invariably crosses State lines, and may very well be international... it opens a whole new arsenal of Legal weapons to go after folks.

I find it hard to believe that someone was not investigating this for years... which means there WAS a Fed Gov cover up... and it had to be at pretty high levels.

But like the Act Blue crap, where we had evidence for years of them breaking the law... or the Ukraine Bio Labs which they just acknowledged, but some of us had evidence of years ago... until someone in the Media / Government Psy Op space allows it to be important, it will be a conspiracy theory which is dismissed.

250,000 underage rape victims.

Minimum.

TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND.

While maybe not Holocaust or Killing Fields level on the atrocity scale, it's up there with the Rape of Nanking and the Sack of Constantinople.

And it wasn't done at gun/sword point by a conquering army. The Brits just stood by and watched, not lifting a finger to stop it.

Because they didn't want to be called "racist".

All he wanted his whole life was a British officer's commission.

Back in the day you'd occasionally see those on sailors (though not common even there... usually just arms or chests).

But "sailor" used to be pretty much the only legitimate occupation where you could get away with that, unless you consider "carny" a legitimate occupation.

487 Since it has been going on for 70 years, but at a presumably increasing rate, it would take a more complex data visualization than usual to show both the total women affected, living women affected (total and per capita), all females presently being raped (total and per capita), and presently underage girls being raped (total and per capita). And I'd bet there's some boys in there too.

Not that celebrifags and other "stars" are great ambassadors for us, anyway. And forget the ummmm... people... they put on TV.

Point being how do you live in the modern world and not know this is still the best country. Crazy. You wouldn't think the information age would have such great information control but they somehow do. Or maybe the entire world isn't that surprised - and that's just propaganda too.

We lived in Germany for three years. We found that getting away from the military towns, the people were far more friendly. I had some high school German, so I was basically barely functional. But between their high school English and my high school German, we communicated.

I recall being on a trip to Yugoslavia, and had to speak German or English to the locals. I had a Serbo-Croat phrase book. *Cue the old Monty Python sketch*

I've traveled pretty extensively and I think there is some truth to this but I don't think it's all that surprising. I've met tons of friendly people around the world but like everywhere it is with similarly minded people.

But by and large most countries are made up of people who come from generations of people who lived there. Aside from Elizabeth Warren, we all came from other places, some more recently than others, and that tends to make us more welcoming of other new people as long as they don't talk smack or try to tell us how to live.

We had a Mexican restaurant that did zero business in a high traffic area. One of my friends stopped in on a whim and they glared at him. Shades of the Tarasco Bar in "Desperado."

It closed down and was replaced by...a Chinese restaurant that had no traffic.

I worked in Hong Kong in the late 80's, and as a side gig, I sang in a German bar. American Pie was the most requested song, after The Boxer and Bridge over troubled water. Not German songs, or anything else continental, they wanted Don McLean and Simon and Garfunkel. Over and over, like toddlers with a Barney song. Hey, it paid for shoe shopping.

My middle kid was best friends with Mormon twins in high school, which could have been awkward (I guess Catholics are history's greatest villain in Mormon theology), but things were fine.

There was an interesting discussion about beverages, and whether prohibitions were based on temperature or ingredients. I thought it was caffeine, but no, they drank Mountain Dew on road trips. Maybe it was verboten, but no longer is. Not sure where the line is drawn on "hot drinks." Is lukewarm sinful? It was a cordial and amusing discussion.

My liquor cart made the Catholic position quite clear.

Worked in a town that had multiple 'after hours' clubs. We are sitting drinking, having a usual time. Waitress quickly comes, takes our drinks and replaces them with glasses of Coke. Everybody.
Five minutes later Troopers come in to check out (raid) the place. They go to all the tables, check us out and leave.
Waitresses come by, take our Cokes and replace them with fresh drinks.

A big man with a deep resonant voice, and knew everyone he ever met by their first name. He did not wear the turban. I went to his funeral, which was hugely attended by people in the junior mining community. RIP, Sodi.

Feds Indict 15 Members of Minnesota Antifa Paramilitary

Andy Ngo reporting:

The Department of Justice (DOJ) charged 15 individuals on Tuesday with conspiracy to impede or injure federal officers during the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operation Metro Surge in Minneapolis. The defendants are members and associates of a Twin Cities Antifa cell network, prosecutors said.

US Attorney for Minnesota Daniel Rosen announced that the defendants are allegedly involved with Twin Cities Direct Action, later renamed Direct Action Minnesota, or "DAMN," a collective that organizes anti-ICE operations across the Minneapolis area. The 94-page indictment alleges the cell trained extremists in surveillance, rapid mobilization, shield tactics, blockade operations, and methods designed to interfere with federal immigration enforcement.

The indictment also identifies the Black Cat Workers Collective, a Minneapolis-based Antifa affinity group, as a key component of the network. The group promotes militant tactics, physical confrontation, and revolutionary political objectives while organizing actions against ICE and law enforcement, according to prosecutors.
Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) conducted home raids on Tuesday morning and took 12 of the 15 defendants into custody. Two defendants remain at large, and another defendant was already in jail.

The defendants have been charged with conspiracy to impede or injure federal agents and officers, alleging they worked together from January through June 2026 to prevent ICE and other Department of Homeland Security personnel from carrying out federal duties.

...

Most of the defendants keep a low profile, like how Antifa militants are trained, but Wagner went viral earlier this year for his social media videos urging violence against federal agents. Wagner also declared himself an Antifa member in the videos and fundraised for the movement.

...

The alleged conspiracy centered on the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building in Fort Snelling, which houses ICE operations for the Upper Midwest. The militants organized both "hard" and "soft" blockades intended to shut down access to the facility. The indictment describes plans involving homemade shields, trailers, vehicles, and physical barriers placed in roadways used by law enforcement.

Similar tactics were deployed by Antifa in Portland and other cities during the deadly 2020 BLM-Anitfa riots after George Floyd died.

...

"The charges and arrests reflect a broad federal effort to address organized lawless behavior, which seeks to disrupt the execution of federal law, endanger law enforcement, and, importantly, endanger the very communities that these defendants falsely claim to be protecting," said US Attorney for Minneapolis Daniel Rosen.

"Direct Action Minnesota emphasizes their violent militant approach to politics, and are highly critical of non-violent peaceful protest," said Rosen, explaining that the organization is "dedicated to direct action against federal law and immigration enforcement."

"This action is not peaceful. It's obstructive, disruptive, and unlawful. The organization trains its members in the aggressive use of shields against law enforcement, surveillance, operational planning, and rapid mobilization against law enforcement actions," Rosen added.

Now I think I see why Minnesota is ground zero for ICE protests. They're facing such severe labor shortages that the Iron Range mining outfits have apparently been reduced to recruiting unemployable, overweight lesbian wine drunks with receding SSRI hairlines to swing their picks and shovels.

That'd be a start. I've always been intrigued by a scene from the movie Spartacus (the one with Lawrence Olivier and Kirk Douglas) where the Roman Senate declares punishment on a Tribune who lost the garrison of Rome to Spartacus' band. The punishment was "No fire, water, food or shelter" was to be offered to the condemned for a distance of 400 miles around Rome. It was effectively a death sentence - levied against anyone who provided that aid - without being an actual death sentence on the condemned. I'm not sure if this truly was Roman law/process at the time but it sounds kind of cool, especially for those bleeding hearts who don't like the death penalty.

While thousands of Minnesota seniors celebrated graduation this spring, several Twin Cities ceremonies looked strikingly different from those of generations past.

Land acknowledgments, tribal drumming, speeches delivered in multiple languages other than English, and discussions of ICE deportations were among the themes at several Twin Cities graduation ceremonies reviewed by Alpha News. In one case, a graduation celebration ended in a brawl that reportedly left attendees temporarily locked inside the building after the ceremony had concluded.

The focus on identity politics and immigration issues comes at a time when a majority of Minnesota public school students are not meeting state proficiency standards in reading or math.

Yeah it was fairly common, but it was an upper class penalty. One man, Rutilius Rufus got it for 'oppressing the provincials' in a rigged verdict, then confounded them by moving to the people he supposedly oppressed.

83 Anti-fascism is not illegal. Fortunately courts are where all Trump's bullshit gets stopped. Their political prosecutions can’t get past jurors, if they even manage to get past judges.

They're not trying to win cases, they're trying to bother people

Not bother. Intimidate into submission and bankrupt them. They want financial ruin and the courts should recognize the pattern and kill it immediatly

what the fuck does "antifa ties" mean lol?

It just means they disagree with Trump and since "Antifa" is a "Terrorist Organization", its an easy label to throw on any people Trump wants to crush.

Judge will throw it out. These maga lawyers need to be sanctioned and disbarred. Or imprisoned.

Well as Fabius Maximus both before Cannae and after did, the best way to fight Hannibal was to NOT fight him, just follow him about to keep him busy. Cannae was a deliberate reversal of the Fabian strategy, building a double sized army which outnumbered Hannibals by about 2-1 but still managed to get surrounded and cut up. About 60000 were dead on the field.

Speaking of Rome, decades ago, at the end of my tour in Germany, my wife and I spent a couple of weeks touring Italy and most especially Rome since I love their history so much. What disappointed me greatly was how run-down the country was, even the ancient historical sites in Rome - The Forum, the statues of famous Emperors/Caesars with graffiti on them. Coming from Germany, which was fastidiously clean back in the 80's, it was a real let-down to see this rich history, this cradle of civilization so run down. Don't know about now but this was 40 years ago and like I said, I was deeply disappointed.

All surviving women in Berlin were in peril of rape from the Russian Army. In the UK only working class girls of a certain age (about 10~12 years and up) were targeted by the muslim rape gangs. Of course Berlin was an occupied capitol that had just lost a devastating war. What justifies the UK tolerating, even fostering, this organized criminal activity is a good topic for discussion.

Romans loved their nicknames, because they had so few names to tell each other apart. Boys usually used the same three or four names in a branch of the family, and girls were usually just called Julia number 1, 2, and so on.

Rupert Lowe Releases His Rape Gang Report

The UK government has refused to investigate the crimes so I believe Lowe crowd-funded an investigatory body and conducted interviews and wrote up a report.

The full document is here.

It begins with some appropriate quotations:

The world is a dangerous place to live,
not because of the people who are evil, but
because of the people who don't do anything about it.

--Albert Einstein

Man is the cruellest animal.

--Friedrich Nietzsche


Matt Van Swol
@mattvanswol

I have just finished reading The Rape Gang Inquiry Report.

It is, without a doubt, the most horrifying document I've ever read in my life.

There is no close second... and it's worse than you could ever imagine.

Here's everything you need to know 🧵


1. The inquiry estimates AT LEAST 250,000 girls.

A QUARTER MILLION.

They are overwhelmingly white girls and they were raped, trafficked & tortured over decades.

The 250k number is the MINIMUM, the FLOOR... there are likely even more than this.

2. The same crime was documented in at least 149 local authority districts... nearly 40% of the country.

This wasn't dozens of isolated local incidents, this was ABSOLUTELY a national pattern the state CHOSE to let grow for decades.

The first recorded case dates to 1955.

3. The NHS treated 13-year-olds for gonorrhea & chlamydia, logged pregnancies from rape and injuries from assault...

...BUT THEN DISCHARGED THE CHILDREN THE SAME NIGHT, back to their abusers!!!!

They treated symptoms and ignored the crime ENTIRELY, pure evil.

4. Children's homes became actual trafficking hubs.

Social services placed already-groomed kids in units they KNEW were targeted, returned girls to the exact addresses where they'd been raped, and stripped protective parents of authority...

...often IN FRONT OF THE CHILD!!!

5. Police criminalized the victims and let rapists walk.

Girls were literally arrested for being "drunk & disorderly" after their own assaults.

A South Yorkshire officer cut a "no-prosecution deal" with a known abuser.

Some officers were INSIDE THE RAPE GANGS!!!

6. Pregnancy was used as a WEAPON.

Girls were deliberately impregnated for control.

Some miscarried from trauma, some were forced into abortions...

...and the state took the babies while leaving the mothers in the SAME HOUSES WHERE THE ABUSE CONTINUED!!!

7. Survivors described "red rooms" for extreme torture, daily rape, being passed between BROTHERS and friends, and trafficking across county lines.

In some cases shipped to the Middle East for forced marriage.

All of it was FILMED for blackmail purposes.

8. Schools literally saw older men collecting girls at the gates and heard disclosures of rape on school grounds.

Their response? Exclude the VICTIM.

In fact, taxi licensing renewed permits for the very drivers who were the logistical backbone of the trafficking networks.

9. The whistleblowers got punished... not the rapists.

Social workers were suspended.

Parents hit with home raids, asset freezes, gag orders.

Records were shredded.

In one case, a father was screamed at by police to STOP reporting his own daughter missing!!


10. The overwhelming majority of the rape gang networks consisted entirely of men from Muslim backgrounds.

Between 87%-95% of the men involved in the rape gangs were Muslim...

...despite them being 6% of the population.

Here's a passage on the culture of migrants and how their view of girls -- who are to dress and behave modestly, and always be escorted by males, or be subject to the collective punishment of the chattel for rape and whoredom-- resulted in this barbarity.

Islamic Clan Culture

Evidence from the author and activist Ayaan Hirsi Ali at the Inquiry highlights
that the grooming and rape gangs operating in towns such as Rotherham,
Rochdale, and others are not isolated instances of criminality, but stem from
imported pre-modern clan systems embedded within certain ethno-cultural
communities, reinforced by specifically Islamic collectivism. As before stated,
the crimes disproportionately involve perpetrators from Pakistani heritage
backgrounds, with patterns rooted in honour- and shame-based dynamics that
are wholly anathema to British norms.

The behaviour is deeply tied to tribal structures prevalent in parts of Pakistan,
Afghanistan, the Middle East, North Africa, and Somalia:

● Family honour is primarily vested in the conduct, modesty, and virginity
of girls and women. Strict codes require obedience, covering, and
restricted interaction with outsiders. Breaches within the community
trigger severe sanctions, including honour killings or collective retaliation
by male clan members.

● When the target is a non-Muslim girl -- particularly White British girls
perceived as unguarded, dressed in Western styles and lacking male
protectors -- the risk calculation shifts. No retaliation is expected from
the girl's family or community, so some young men feel emboldened to
treat her as property and then approach, assault, groom, share among the
group, and sell her services.

● This proprietorial view of women escalates into organised networks that
traffic girls across regions. Impunity fuels the cycle: initial assaults without consequences create a perception of Britain as a place where such behaviour carries no risk, turning vulnerable girls into commodified products.

I would say it's worse than that: Impunity suggests to the migrant that the British people agree with their view of white girls as fair game for rape, and agree that Muslim culture is superior to the weak culture of the UK.

When people voluntarily kneel before conquerors, what message could the conquerors receive other than the conquered accept and validate their conquest?


A key contrast emerged in evidence. When similar gangs targeted Sikh girls, the Sikh community mobilised men to confront and deter the perpetrators effectively. White working-class girls lacked equivalent collective protection, not least because authorities often silenced concerns with accusations of racism, allowing the abuse to persist and expand into modern-day slavery.

And note the Sikh's had to resort to self-help -- vigilantism -- because the state refused to do its most basic duty of protecting innocent children.

We have council seats to hold, don't you know.

Even second-, third-, or fourth-generation immigrants raised in Britain continue these patterns, acting as demographic clusters where the clan system reproduces itself and intensifies, regardless of the wider culture. Ongoing immigration from such clannish foreign backwaters serves only to replenish and strengthen such communities.

While the foundational system is tribal rather than purely religious, Islamic elements provide ideological justification, communal shielding, and strategic expansion. Perpetrators sometimes hide actions from families, mosques, and imams because the behaviour brings disgrace to the community. Yet remorse toward British victims is limited because non-Muslim girls are not viewed as fully human individuals deserving protection, but as unprotected outsiders available for abuse without moral consequence. This fosters widespread silence within affected communities.

The Inquiry evidence points to a fundamental clash of worlds. Across the West, our historic respect for the individual has, thanks to mass immigration, been overpowered by the more primitive attitudes that prevail elsewhere, according to which group membership matters first and foremost. The elite obsession with diversity has invited the latter to take advantage of the former. Scare-words like
'Islamophobia' and 'racism' have been deployed to exploit the good will of Western host societies, paralysing investigation and enforcement.

As the Sikh example showed, this predation could have been repudiated and stopped before becoming industrial-scale if white British liberals (including the cowards and Quislings of the "Conservative" party) showed any courage or resolve at all in opposing the rape of white working girls. But they did not.

As the Executive Summary says:

Were Britain functioning effectively, these girls would have received
considerable state protection. However, every one of our institutions failed them
catastrophically. Police forces ignored repeated reports, criminalised victims instead of perpetrators, destroyed evidence, and allowed known rapists to walk free on bail.

Social care services undermined protective parents, placed children in trafficking hubs inside children's homes, closed cases despite clear indicators of exploitation, and retaliated against whistleblowers.

The NHS recorded genital injuries, multiple sexually transmitted infections in children as young as 13,pregnancies caused by rape, and suicide attempts, yet discharged victims back to their abusers without safeguarding referrals or trauma care.

Schools observed older men collecting girls at the gates, heard disclosures of rape on school premises, and responded by excluding victims rather than protecting them.

Taxi licensing authorities renewed permits for drivers who formed the logistical backbone of the networks and collapsed in the face of organised protests when basic safety measures were proposed.

Political failure lies at the heart of the scandal. Successive governments lacked the will to confront the ethnic and religious patterns. The Labour Party bears particular responsibility. It initially refused a public inquiry and only relented under pressure by ordering a process viewed with widespread scepticism.

Labour-dominated councils and MPs were briefed on the gangs long ago yet later denied knowledge. The party prioritised electoral reliance on Muslim voting blocs and then blocked or watered down inquiries, suppressed ethnicity data, and framed legitimate concerns as 'far-right' agitation. When finally forced to act, the Labour government produced a national inquiry whose tightly drawn terms of reference deliberately excluded systematic examination of the demographic, cultural, and religious drivers.

The Conservative Party, while in government, continued with Labour's approach and failed to impose mandatory ethnicity recording or launch a full statutory inquiry despite clear evidence from Rotherham and elsewhere.

Scottish political parties have refused a dedicated inquiry and failed to record offender ethnicity. Political correctness, fear of accusations of racism, and fear of losing electoral support from certain demographics have taken precedence over the protection of British children.

Whistleblowers, parents, and survivors who came forward showed extraordinary
courage, despite having been met in the past with disbelief and intimidation.


The perpetrators operated with impunity because the state enabled them.

The evidence now demands immediate and decisive action to eradicate the problem, deliver justice for the victims, and ensure these abhorrent crimes are eradicated from our shores.

@libsoftiktok

The UK rape gang inquiry report just dropped and it should make your blood boil:

1. At least 250,000 young White girls were groomed, raped, trafficked, and tortured.

2. Perpetrators followed consistent tactics of befriending vulnerable girls as young as 11 with gifts, drugs, and alcohol before subjecting them to group rapes, violence, blackmail, pregnancies, forced conversions, and trafficking.

3. UK institutions--including police, social services, schools, NHS, and politicians--catastrophically failed victims through denial, ignored reports, criminalization of victims, destruction of evidence, and prioritization of political correctness and fears of "racism" accusations over child protection.

4. 87--95% of convicted perpetrators in group-based child sexual exploitation cases were Muslim. It was predominantly Muslim Pakistani gangs. They operated across 149 local authority districts. Groups from Somali,
Iranian, Syrian, Turkish, and other Muslim origins were also involved.

5. The Muslim perpetrators operated under an honour- and
shame-based clan code that treated non-Muslim girls, especially White working class girls, as property available for sexual use. Girls were told that they're "White trash" who deserved punishment.

People need to go to prison for this.

They will not. Not to be the guy who says "Nothing's going to happen," but nothing's going to happen.

The victim testimony of Chloe from the rape gang inquiry is horrific

- Abducted by a Muslim abuser
- Raped her at 12 years old in a graveyard
- Raped her with a whiskey bottle which broke off in her vagina
- NHS removed the pieces but asked NO questions
- Plied with drugs and drink
- Told police she was having sex with adults but was dismissed as a child prostitute
- Passed between men daily for years
- Police found her with abusers but released men after no investigation
- Chlamydia in throat/vagina, gonorrhea, warts, PID at age 13, clinic said NOTHING
- A social worker suggested she audition for a TV role as a grooming victim instead of helping.

As she got older:
- Gang invaded her home, orally raped her on her sofa in front of others.
- Raped with objects (cans, keys, baseball bat)
- Forced to house and witness abuse of other children.
- Spiked with heroin, leading to addiction and anorexia (weighed 5 stone/~70 lbs at 1.
- Coerced into Islamic conversion and "marriage" to an illegal migrant abuser who beat her daily
- gave birth to a child with health issues from her damaged body.

This all happened in Britain
In our country
To our girls

You have to understand the English mentality. A great many of them don't want to believe what was happening. It's impossible to them. All of their news, all of the parties swear that's a lie.

And now it's being exposed. The double standard is out there. And there are finally people in Parliament will to speak out.

Remember: the Tories gave Labour a pass. And now a bunch of them have jumped to Reform, and are pretending to be shocked, but they enabled it.

The whole system is rotten, and the English are just stunned.

Yeah no way Labour is accepting reccomendations from a private inquiry rather than waiting for the statutory one. I imagine reform will do the same

So this afternoon is going to be a bad afternoon on Reddit with people arguing at cross purposes about understanding statistics and failing to acknowledge their own biases when interpreting data. Cool cool cool

it'll be hot takes built from AI. someone will throw it into Claude and prompt, "tell me why brown people are bad" and spout that. No one will read it.

Be good to know why this enquiry was so important it delayed the implementation of the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill. I've asked several times but no one ever has an answer.

Hasnt there already been like 3 inquiries over this? What could this report possibly contain that the 7 year IICSA/Jay inquiry didn't? It was absolutely damning towards institutions from the bottom to the top and contained extensive evidence.

Fun fact:
I used a VPN & a throwaway SIM to create the twitter account that got me arrested, when I asked the police interrogator how they found me, they admitted they matched up the details of my stabbing that I posted about on the account to the police report I made. Pure evil

61 Thank you for posting this.

Not sure I can read it all, and I was never raped. The trauma of these girls will never leave them.

They sought blonde girls like hunters. Young. To enslave, terrorize their families, and obtain police to join them instead of protecting them. And it went on for decades.

I became aware of it around 2013 or 2014 and yelled online about it. Nothing was done and it only metastisized.

I have a gorgeous blonde/blue eyed granddaughter. Firecracker personality. Brilliant, happy, full of joy and great humor.

I would kill for her or any of my grandchildren. I never had a daughter nor a sister, so these children are part of my heart walking freely around the earth.

Whatever fear I have for this world is for them.

Britain never had a gun culture like we do. It was a very orderly, non-violent society and firearms were the province of rural landholders. Bobbies famously just carried a stick.

The guns banned later on were mostly historical. To put it another way, there is a reason Britain produced a single auto-loader handgun. The domestic demand just wasn't there.

The thought has occurred to me too. If Stan came to earth and started a religion, what would it look like? Would it reward lying and cheating non-believers? Would it set man against man, subjugate and dehumanize women and treat children like objects of pleasure? Would it stall out all advancement in art, science, medicine in favor of decrees and teaching from 'wise' men? Would it hide under cover of a religion of 'peace' only revealing its true nature once its victims are subjugated?

192 A key contrast emerged in evidence. When similar gangs targeted Sikh girls, the Sikh community mobilised men to confront and deter the perpetrators effectively. White working-class girls lacked equivalent collective protection, not least because authorities often silenced concerns with accusations of racism, allowing the abuse to persist and expand into modern-day slavery.

Maybe because there were no dads around?

We did not fully meet the mission objectives proffered by the CJCS. We degraded capabilities, we did not eliminate them. We also did not eliminate the ability of ground forces and command and control to operate effectively in theater. Degrade? Yes. Eliminate their will to fight? Obviously not. It’s why we kept playing whack a mole and running counter ops every time they took offensive action. If you’ve been on the battlefield against these guys and their proxies, you would realize they are still operating using the same MO. That’s not a good sign for the future and a likely return to combat ops- at which point we will ask, why the pause? It goes against everything I ever learned. YMMV

He is saying things no political leader has said. He wants the death penalty and mass deportations, and Restore is already picking up significant support in the polls. He is articulating a plan of action, and providing the rallying point any movement needs.

You can't just rebel, you need a leader. There was no leader. You don't get Solidarity without Lech Walesa. Honestly, you don't get the US without George Washington.

Counting the ten million plus illegals that came just under Biden (and the girls and women were largely raped and/or trafficked) then over a million seems reasonable. And that doesn't add in all the other pedos and rapists doing their usual.

If you were watching as a random yobbo like Robinson became a global household name and incurred the blind wrath of your precious authorities, you knew.

I noticed you added objectives that were not in the list. Also: perhaps we stopped because we realized that our forces as configured had achieved all they could, and we needed resupply and reinforcements to move to the next phase.

There is also a thing called "shaping" which can happen outside of active combat to help achieve objectives. I believe the ceasefires were part of that, shaping the operational environment to open up new avenues.

From a strategic standpoint, the US had inflicted punishing damage and a severe defeat at a price everyone here would not have believed if Trump had foretold it in February.

To get even more people to join Reform all Farage has to do is promise to deport every suspect individual and all illegals. I think the polite term for deportations is remigration. But I am absolutely convinced he will not do that which is why Rupert Lowe released this report and not Farage.

By the time the election eventually rolls around Rupert Lowe's party might have more members than Farage's Reform but that would simply mean a split vote and once again Labour wins. If Farage is not careful he will become known as a spoiler.

JD seems to be a better choice for executive office. Stop going by feels and analyze what’s going on. Most people are too impatient (me included) and want something they can point at. We have plenty of those but people want something new they can point at: patience, play the long game.

We will have to disagree on the mission objectives. In order to achieve those objectives certain things had to take place, that is a specific level of degradation in capabilities. That the IRGC was still mobilizing to fire missiles and launch offensive operations means those objectives were not achieved. I’m fully aware of shaping the battlefield. But if that were the case what exactly were we hoping to achieve? We have full control of the battlespace and could already move at will. Resupply can be a factor but that speaks to strategic pauses in certain operations, not a shutdown of the entire combat op. No, every teaching starting with von Clausewitz tells me the pause in operations was a mistake. But we will have some time now to see if I was wrong or right. I really do hope I’m wrong btw.

DOJ announces indictments of unaccompanied minor 'super sponsors'. June 16th

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration is actively working to identify and prosecute fraudulent "super sponsors" of unaccompanied minors, federal officials said Thursday. As part of a program called Joint Task Force Alpha, acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin announced the indictments of three undocumented immigrants from Guatemala who they say illegally took custody of multiple, unrelated children in Ohio.

*************************
Back in 2013 I read that they would portray themselves as a boyfriend, the Paki teen.

Then, once they raped the girl, it was often filmed or photos for blackmail.

They'd threaten the girl not to tell her family or they'd be killed. Then they would pimp this child out. It went on and on.

The few girls who told their fathers got the police involved, not knowing they were or became part of the traffiking ring. This was in Rotherham.

It is a hard thing to read and I will try at some point. Mark Stein sent clear warnings that were ignored (my online buddy at the time).

Pray against this evil. Pray that the men of England will rise up to the point the milquetoast government has to act. Or a coup. I don't care how it is done, but do it.

Please pray for Rupert Lowe and Tommy Robinson.

I can’t imagine a police officer telling an American dad his daughter is just going to be repeatedly raped without being told back that the officer doesn’t have to survive this. This is another reason for the second amendment to protect against the government, not just FedGov, but local too. Including the constabulary. Never give up your right to justifiable violence.

I can imagine a US police officer telling an American dad that his daughter should sit back and enjoy it. Dad rightly tells off the cop. Cop kills the father and goes running like a four year old to mommy to his superiors saying that he made him kill him. Everyone is told to feel sorry for the cop, that he is there to serve and protect, and that Americans just need to shut up and unquestioningly respect police officers.

Ha, I don't think so but here's what he does in the flick:

Armie Hammer stars as a guy who is mad as hell and isn’t going to take it anymore. He’s had enough of the soft language of politicians, the lack of action from law enforcement, and the way so many people tiptoe around the controversial issue of mass migration.

In the film, Hammer decides to take justice into his own hands and punish the lawbreakers himself. They range from teenagers refusing to pay a fare on a bus, to those same teenagers robbing someone in the park, to men attempting to drug and rape women, and to the rampant rape crimes by migrants in Europe.

The original Charles Bronson movie (which happens to be on my TV screen at this very moment) was an enormous, surprise hit in 1974. People were fed up with the crime in the streets (which to us today looks pretty small potatoes), and Bronson's character struck a note with them.

Sort of like "Law Abiding Citizen".

Gerard Butler's wife and daughter are killed by scumbags the DA cut deals with, and he wants justice. Jamie Foxx is an assistant DA that wants the big seat so he cuts sweetheart deals to get a great conviction rate, but not justice. Butler decides to get justice on his own and targets the scumbags and the DA's. Test audiences loved it, but Butler was the hero, not Foxx. So, they have Foxx kill Butler at the end as kind of a "justice was served". Great movie, shitty ending.

126 113 From last thread...I can still find no reason for the UK police violently arresting the 5yr old boy.

If anyone knows, I'd really like to find out.

In another clip it looks like his mother, or a blonde woman with a baby in her arms, goes over to claim the child and the police shove her off and threaten the guy taking the video.

What possibly could a 5yr old boy do to be dangerous to them?

I would be in jail over there.

And the Dems can just attack him on every point as they will because it's more reflex at this point.

True. Some of them were bitching about the former GOP sheriff of our city that was a black woman who had worked for the previous corrupt Democrat sheriff and defeated him in the election. These white Wine Gam-Gams were going on about "how could a woman of color be a Republican". Maybe because she has seen the real Democrat party?

At the time, I don't think UK made action films unless you include something like the Battle of Britain.

They also presented Carter's actions as a reaction against the totally amoral gangsters in UK. Mafia generally left kids and family members of their consortium alone. I think Get Carter actually presages what was happening in the UK at the time with pedoes throughout society and the Muzzie rape gangs were also going on even back then. Lowe report has it originating in 1955.

What bothers me about that earlier story about the drone attack at the WH -- it is exactly the kind of thing the FBI would dream up to show how important they are. Left wing loons trying to disrupt Trump's party; murder dignitaries at the WH; anti Trump, anti Jewish motives; Epstein, New technology (drones), Signal chat, and tactical planning....

It is all the kind of thing the Director would go to the POTUS to justify their existence. "Now give us more money."

This is what they were doing under obama and biden as well -- ginning up "threats" to justify bigger budgets. No different from the SPLC.

200 > They present the lead as a guy ground down by "the system" who won't take it any more only to make him out as a delusional wife beater by the end.

In that way, it's more realistic than most of Hollywood's output. Just because you're ground down by the system doesn't mean you get to attack shopkeepers for prices you feel are too high. You don't get to hold people hostage in a crappy, over-expensive fast food shop. You don't get to corner your ex and your kid and demand time with your daughter.

If you do those things, you're the bad guy, even if the world has wronged you in every way.

Because the Iranians have worn the chains for two generations. That's not something easily cast aside.

The English have a deeply ingrained trust in their government and police. Their last revolution was 1689. They really want to believe the system will work.

The Irish know otherwise, and understand that violence can shake things loose, especially if done with deliberate precision.

One of the interesting parts of the Iran deal is that it was with the Speaker of the Parliament, not the IGRC leadership.

Someone shot at the White House when Barky was across the country. Other than that, he probably got the same number of death threats as any other internationally known public figure.

I haven't. I predicted that they most likely wouldn't revolt at all (so far this is the case), and that any uprising that might materialize would be an abortive horror show.

You simply can't expect people with no tradition of rebellion or self-governance to take on a regime unless that regime is completely unable or unwilling to resist - particularly if a majority or huge minority of their neighbors support the regime.

Britain and Iran aren't so different in these regards.

Our own national mythos makes a successful uprising by the oppressed seem inevitable to us, but the uprising usually never happens in the first place, let alone succeeds.

The workers in the cotton industry put out of work by the Southern embargo and the later Union blockage were even more anti slavery than pro-their jobs. Then Prince Albert on his deathbed helped smooth over the incident where Southern diplomats were snatched off a British ship which might have been trouble and the odds of serious intervention were gone.

Of course, what British intervention really would have done is had Canada completely taken away from them at once, outside of a few harbors like Halifax that are hard to get to.

Fury as UK's Two-Tier Justice System Refuses to Bring Charges Against Vickrum Digwa's Brother, Who Lied to Police and Thereby Prevented Needed Medical Aid to the Victim

Accept that these are the Colonial Police now, and they exist to crack skulls of the native population so that they accept the will of the colonizing power.

Fury over decision not to bring charges against brother of Henry Nowak's killer after he helped him lie to police about murdered student being racist

By MARTIN ROBINSON, CHIEF REPORTER

The decision not to charge the brother of Henry Nowak's killer after he falsely accused him of racism and being the aggressor was today branded 'incredible'.

A leading lawyer believes Gurpreet Digwa should have been prosecuted for perverting the course of justice at the very least.

Marcus Johnstone, of PCD Solicitors, said evidence at the trial of Henry's killer Vickrum Digwa also suggested his brother may have committed perjury, assisted an offender and obstructed police.

But the Daily Mail can reveal that Hampshire Police did not ask the Crown Prosecution Service to consider any case whatsoever against Gurpreet over Henry's murder.

Gurpreet Digwa watched as police handcuffed fatally injured Henry, who had been stabbed six times with an eight-inch Sikh ceremonial sword on December 3, 2025.

Gurpreet had told police 'we've been racially attacked by a white person' before officers wrongly arrested Henry as he lay dying, 999 audio revealed.

He said: 'We are restraining him now because he has attacked my brother and taken his turban off and he was recording some "s*** on his phone.'

But claims Henry had launched a racist attack were later revealed to be a 'wicked lie'.

Marcus Johnstone told the Daily Mail: 'There is no doubt Gurpreet Digwa has likely committed one or more criminal offences in assisting his brother to cover up Henry Nowak's murder.

'The judge referred to Vickrum Digwa and his mother both perverting the course of justice. It seems incredible his brother was not also charged.

'This reflects extremely badly on the police.'

It comes as Vickrum Digwa's jail term is set to be reconsidered under the Unduly Lenient Sentence scheme, amid claims the case shows 'two-tier' justice.

An online petition is calling for Gurpreet to be reinvestigated.

Although never charged, he was at the centre of the case that saw his younger brother convicted of murder.

Gurpreet had called 999, falsely claiming Henry had racially abused him and his brother.

'We've just been attacked racially by some white person,' he said.

Gurpreet, himself, 'may just have been accepting that which [Digwa] told him', judge William Mousley KC later said, but he added that he was 'sure' Mr Nowak never said or did anything racist.

Gurpreet had also insisted to the 999 operator there were 'no weapons' involved - despite both brothers carrying Sikh ceremonial knives.

'I don't know what weapons they would be, he said.

He added: 'The guy has fallen over because he looks like he's drunk'.

After Henry died, both brothers were arrested.

Two-Tier Kier was too busy propagandizing a decade-old murder to comment on the current news:

Keir Starmer

It has been ten years since our friend and colleague Jo Cox was murdered by a far-right terrorist.

She was a dedicated mother, a fierce campaigner and a deeply committed Member of Parliament. Her conviction that we have more in common than that which divides us lives on beyond her death.

We all wish Jo was still here with us today, and we will continue to honour her legacy by standing by her message of hope and unity in the face of hatred and division.


Via Hot Air's Beege:

The Sheffield police issued a statement saying that they had 'de-arrested' the 17-year-old so he could get that head wound seen to.

The Colonial Police are here and they're telling you to kneel to your New Masters -- or else.

I saw someone predict that there'd be riots in Liverpool and other British cities by the end of the week. No idea if that will come to pass...

Update: It already did.

...but this guy seems worried:

Meanwhile, Kier Starmer is doing what leftwing tyrants always do, claimping down on dissident speech.

Now I actually believe social media should be banned for young people -- it's melting adult brains (especially leftwing women's) so it is undoubtedly too dangerous a drug for children -- but of course Starmer is banning it because he's angry at Musk for allowing videos of his tyrannical abuses and incompetence to be viewed by an increasingly-furious public.

Starmer does not want to shut down X to protect your children. He wants to shut it down to protect himself and @elonmusk is the only reason he cannot.

Child safety. AI images. Misinformation. All lies.

They cannot control X. That is the only reason it needs to be shut down. Here is the unit they use to control everything else.

The UK government has a secret unit called RICU. It sits inside the Home Office. It employs psychologists, marketing experts and former intelligence officers.

Its job is to control what you think after a terror attack or migrant attack happens.

This is in a Government independent review published in 2023 by Sir William Shawcross.

The review also states (of MEND) that:

In November 2014 NAMP co-hosted a conference with MEND on Islamophobia, held at City of London police station. The panellists included representatives of the police and the Crown Prosecution Service alongside individuals who have expressed extreme and intolerant views.

It is what it is, Brits. You can't get out of this mess short of overthrowing your government.

The next general election isn't until 29, and Labour has no incentive to call an election before then. But Starmer can threaten his own party with calling an election as a means of saving his sweet gig.

Wouldn't go that far. Abuse in the Lowe report that I posted the link to earlier goes back to 1955.

Both parties though ignored the rape of British kids for different reasons. Labour, because they were sympathetic with Muslims, the Tories, because of oil deals and civil unrest. There is also the disgusting nature of the British upper class in pedo activities (see Lord Mountbatten and Jimmy Savile along with police scandals of them doing the same thing Muzzie rape gangs did). I think Charles III, who apparently adored Mountbatten despite his disgusting sex proclivities is also one that is fine with pedoes doing their worst on the British white lower class. Scottish authorities too.

What probably really gets at the leftists is that they went all-in on trying to get Musk to divest himself from X/Twitter when it wasn't completely clear that he had the funds to keep it going. They ran a campaign attempting to get X's advertisers to boycott the site, in an effort to make propping it up financially not worth the time. IIRC it was when TSLA started falling after leftists decided to boycott buying the cars.

At the Dealbook Summit a couple of years ago, Musk told Andrew Ross Sorkin that he had one sentence for those trying to financially blackmail him: GFY.

Now that he's officially a trillionaire, I guess his 40+ billion purchase of Twitter is little more than a rounding error for him now, which means that it's not disappearing any time soon.

The mom's options - try to take back her son, have the police take the baby too.

Options? Isn't that how the Nazis offered Jewish, Romani, Sinti & more mothers options?

133 Wonder how long before the Irish Car Bombs get translated over to the bobby-mobiles of the UK police.

Also related, a quote from "The Gulag Archipelago":
“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

I think polls are for strippers, but any attempt to read tea leaves here is almost impossible, because the November election will the first of its kind in the history of the nation. Consider:

1. "First term" presidents usually lose seats in Congress. Well, is Trump a "first term" president? Not really.
2. No USAID money that normally would flood to Democraps to bolster their election chances.
3. Voting integrity better than it ever was before.
4. Redistricting
5. Trump
6. Democrap candidates more unlikeable than anal warts getting fucked by anal parasites.

So it's almost pointless to compare 2026 with any other election, or to accurate poll it. Some big unknowns in how this will all play out, but I see these being advantages for our side.

The standard for incitement in the UK is insane. If anything you do or say upsets the protected class, the police arrest for "offense against public order." There is no reasonable objective standard applied, only that someone somewhere might not like what you said. "My dog is furry" you say, a Pakistani claims to be upset by that, you get arrested.

And the standard is only applied against white people. Fundamentally illogical and evil.

Women defend the moral order they were raised in. And they have to compete for male attention.

I was at the pool last week with the boys, and six teenage girls were hanging out, talking in earshot.

Every single one of them was talking about how they were going to have 3-4 kids. I live in one of the reddest counties of the state. I didn't figure out their opinions on particular partisan issues, but the chances these girls who were talking about bigger families as desirable because they grew up around bigger families...I get the base assumptions of girls who will have decent sized families are not going to be driven by "the world is ending" apocalyptism that is the modern left.

NHS psychiatrists reveal they faced pressure not to forcibly hospitalize psychotic black patients because they were concerned about contributing to racial disparities in mental health detention statistics.

The controversy has resurfaced following the 2023 Nottingham murders carried out by Valdo Calocane, a paranoid schizophrenic black man who repeatedly refused medication and was not involuntarily committed to a psychiatric facility despite previous violent incidents.

Several psychiatrists said that concerns about the disproportionate number of black patients being detained under mental health laws had become a factor in decision-making, with some warning that politics and DEI objectives were influencing clinical judgments.

One former doctor put it bluntly:

"Once a patient has psychosis, we shouldn't perform sociology, we should perform medicine."

There are 5 GOP senators off the top of my head who will never vote for the SAVE act (Mitch, Cassidy, Cornyn, Murk, and Tillis, all but Murk of whom are retiring this year). There are probably a few more who are just happy to have the cover of a few retiring GOPers to save them from having to vote for something they really don't want.

All it would take is four, and you've got that 4 soon to be retirees and Democrat Murkowski as 5.

I really think the turnover of retiring GOPers in the Senate (including Ernst in IA) is going to materially change how the GOP Senate functions and what becomes possible.

2) Stop funding colleges directly or indirectly. Young women spending 18-22 partying and getting a basket weaving degree just delays having a family. Also *ban* an advanced degree requirement for any non-scientific government job...especially teaching.

3) Make taxes proportional to how many kids you have with your spouse, and at 4 kids you pay ZERO taxes FOR LIFE. Note this only counts if you and your spouse are married and they are your kids (also widowers).

The King does not have the independent power to call a general election in the UK. Under the Dissolution and Calling of Parliament Act 2022, the monarch exercises the royal prerogative to dissolve Parliament only on the formal request of the Prime Minister.

The last time a British monarch dismissed a Prime Minister was in 1834, when King William IV sacked Lord Melbourne. Theory is a hard bridge to cross after almost 200 years.

Cromwell is the bad guy (in the background, he's not a character), the guy making Parliament supreme. Charles I is the good guy (he's got one scene), the guy defending absolute monarchy.

I feel for them, and it's about the most legitimate example of asylum status there is. But it isn't our responsibility to help them, and it sets a horrible precedent right before millions of white Europeans will be seeking asylum status for similar reasons.

Sweden Passes Law Requiring "Good Behavior" by Migrants Or Else Face Deportation

"Good behavior" requires more than merely not breaking the law.


Visegrád 24
@visegrad24

🇸🇪 Sweden has passed a "good behavior" law allowing migrants to be deported over non-criminal conduct such as tax debts or extremist links.

This will allow the Swedish government the power to revoke residence permits and deport legal immigrants without a specific criminal charge.

Now, grounds for deportation from Sweden may simply be based on the migrant's non-criminal misconduct, such as benefit fraud, links to extremist organizations, illegal work, unpaid debts, and tax evasion.

I mean, almost all of those are criminal behavior. Some might not be felony criminal behavior, and one -- "links to extremist organizations" -- isn't itself a criminal offense but it's a huge, huge flag suggesting very serious criminal offenses indeed.

Well, at least it's something.

Such cases will be evaluated by the Swedish Migration Agency.

This bill was pushed through by the Prime Minister's right-wing minority government, heavily supported by the nationalist Sweden Democrats party.

Propaganda organization Reuters needs you to know that "human rights organizations" object to this law and says it offends "equality under the law."



Sweden's parliament passed a law on Monday allowing authorities to revoke immigrants' residency permits based on bad behaviour, ​such as having unpaid debts, doing undeclared work or ‌links to extremist organisations.

The law, which covers pending permits but also retroactively already granted permits, is part of a wider tightening of immigration ​rules by the right-wing government and its support party, ​the nationalist Sweden Democrats, ahead of a parliamentary election ⁠in September.

The law has been criticised by the opposition and ​human rights advocacy groups as arbitrary because decisions would be taken ​on behaviour that has not been deemed criminal.

"The good behaviour law leaves people in uncertainty about what actions or expressions can be used against ​them," Stockholm-based group Civil Rights Defenders said in a statement.

"It ​undermines the rule of law and the principle of equality before the ‌law."


No, it doesn't. They are not citizens. They do not have a right to be in the country, only the government's leave to be in the country

That leave can be withdrawn.

The ⁠government, which won the 2022 election on a promise to reduce immigration and crack down on crime, has said that people who misbehave or commit crimes are not welcome.

...

"Anyone who doesn't make the effort to do the ⁠right thing ​shouldn't be able to count on ​staying," Minister of Migration Johan Forssell said when he proposed the bill in ​March.

Every civilized country will have a law like this in five years. Those who don't have it will already be de-civilized.

Not uncivilized, but de-civilized, taken from a state a civilization to a state of barbarism.

Update to SPLC Loves Nazis stories: The "white supremacist" organization that the SPLC was so desperate to keep alive was on the verge of disbanding -- and only persisted due to the SPLC's financial contributions:

It's absolutely insane that Sweden had to pass such a law in the first place. So, prior to the law, Ahmed the terrorist could work illegally, not pay any debts, and not pay taxes, and there wasn't dick the country could do to kick this goatfucking leech out?

The Rape Gang Inquiry Report details systematic child sexual exploitation by predominantly Pakistani-heritage Muslim men targeting vulnerable white British girls. Key findings: ~250,000 victims estimated since the 1950s; 87-95% perpetrators Muslim in analyzed cases. Grooming via drugs/alcohol/taxis, gang rapes, trafficking, blackmail, and racial/religious abuse.

Massive institutional failures by police, councils, and services driven by political correctness and fear of racism accusations; ethnicity/religion data often unrecorded. Links to clan honor codes and Islamic theological attitudes toward non-Muslims cited. Harrowing survivor testimonies included.

Conclusions: National scandal and state betrayal enabled by multiculturalism. Recommendations: mandatory ethnicity recording in crime data, deportations of foreign offenders, accountability, and reforms. Consistent with patterns in official inquiries like Rotherham and Telford.

132 That last meme you put up about Democrats needing to resuscitate Racism because it was still needed is dead-on accurate.

Even though I didn't vote for Obama either time, if he had simply declared that a country that could elect a black man as President could finally move on from its past - almost 150 years after the Civil War and almost 50 years from the Voting Rights Act (at the time of his election) - I would have happily voted for him in 2012. It was that important for us to move on from that point in our history that I would have voted for any Democrat that finally closed that chapter of our history.

Because Obama had that chance and didn't take it, purely for partisan reasons, he's in my opinion the worst president of my lifetime - and that includes Biden. I swear that we had better race relations in 1986 than we do in 2026. I can't believe that we went backwards the way that we did - and it's purely the fault of Democrats. I've heard about kids using slurs - for Jews, for just one group - that I hadn't heard in 50 years. Again - the Dems' fault. Between Obama, the Dems, and the SPLC, I weep for where we are now. This didn't need to happen at all.

135 This is part of Michelle's story in the report,

"At age 14, she was gang-raped and beaten by three men who had locked her in a house. She was left covered in cuts and bruises, which alerted a friend. The friend told her own mother, who then contacted Michelle’s mother. The police
were called, but they claimed there was little they could do without more evidence. One of the gang members later forced Michelle to go to the police
station with him to retract her statement. The police accepted him as her “appropriate adult” – a role normally reserved for a parent, close family member,social worker, or trained professional. The investigation was subsequently
dropped.
One of Michelle’s friends, who lived in a care home, would be collected directly outside by the same gang. Care staff would call the police, but officers reportedly referred to the girls as “prostitutes” despite them being children.

Both social services and the police, Michelle says, failed to understand the situation and believed the girls were engaging in the activity by choice. As a
result, little was done to intervene. When she was abducted and went missing, no one came looking for her.

The class system in UK is alive and well, maybe stronger than ever. The powers that be consider these low-class girls little more than animals, or sluts or whores, and easily expendable.

Same with the Scottish axe girls.

And there's a long history in the UK of the upper classes preying on the lower classes -- not only for sex and perversion, but everything else too -- long before the goatfuckers ever got there. So another instance of sexual abuse of lower-class girls got little more than a shrug.

Smart move. Treaties are supposed to be ratified by Congress, or it is not a real treaty.

161 I recall very well that during Trump's first term (6 yrs ago) Trump was mercilessly MOCKED by the Swedes for speaking out against unrestricted, unvetted immigration.

Swedish leftists, with the encouragement of the then govt, produced a WIDELY-circulated film:

"A Day in the Life of Sweden," showing Swedes milking cows, skiing, & doing all kinds of traditional Swedish stuff-- juxtaposed with Trump's immigration warning.

Hilarious! What a clown was Trump, huh?

Well.. looks like Sweden isn't laughing at all these days!

Hear me now and believe me later, ja?

I could be totally wrong, but Swedish men are a lot bigger than Belgians. And Austrians. Small boned men. We won't include Macron and Startled Starmer in this conversation, but I should.

My husband and son were whispering rather loudly (for me, the queen of etiquette) in line at Schonbrunn Palace in Vienna:

"No wonder the Germans took Austrian and Belgium quickly, these men are tiny!" I glared at them and they stopped.

However, it is sort of true based on my dealings with Belgian and Austrian men on trains. I think they were scared of the American lady.

166 California is pressuring public utilities to award $633 million in special contracts to "LGBT-owned" firms. To qualify, residents must go through the state's official gay-certification program—and face up to a year in jail if they're not gay enough.
=============================
Some of my customers, large public companies, pressured all their vendors, including us, for years to buy 20% of all our purchasing from minority-owned or female-owned businesses. We had to file annual reports with the customers reporting on our "progress".

We just ignored them and bought from price performers.

🇬🇧🇵🇰 It has now been revealed that the man who stabbed a 17-year-old girl in Brierfield is 30-year-old Junaid Nawaz of Pakistani descent, described as a "British-born local man" by Lancashire Police.

He has now been formally charged with attempted murder and possession of a knife in a public place.

The incident occurred last Friday when Nawaz stabbed the 17-year-old victim in the back of the neck while walking down Wood Street in Brierfield, Lancashire.

He is scheduled to appear before the Blackburn Magistrates' today.

197 Per El Diario of Caracas, Brazilian police started arrests in 6 Brazilian states to arrest 25 members of Tren de Aragua for crimes including human trafficking, arms dealing, and drug trafficking, activities the Brazilian police say are being done in cooperation with Brazilian criminal organizations.
The operation also includes the execution of 30 search and seizure warrants in various regions of the country, as part of an investigation coordinated by law enforcement authorities.

I think helping the Venezuelan army to off the Cartel boss Niño Guerrero was just the first step, and the "promise" to the Venezuelans that this is not just a quick fling so the oil companies can take over.

More importantly, that seems to be the line that has been crossed in the minds of the immigrants. Remember when they were riding around on horses, whipping natives? This stuff keeps happening more and more because they can get away with it. The more publicity, the more of them realize how little break there is on them.

Do people really think Nazis went around saying Jews are the good people and "we're" the evil ones?

The Pedowood depiction of evil monsters always telling you they are evil beforehand, has corrupted minds and destroyed people's ability to recognize it in their midst. It doesn't always appear with fangs, it comes to you with a happy happy smile and offers of paradise.

The Nazis claimed to be the good ones. The Left never shows you how or why women bought into it so hard. They pretend the Nazis were all just a bunch of monacle wearing men.

Probably not. I think they get convicted as any skilled prosecutor from a large enough pool can easily disqualify a lot of jurors for cause. Fed prosecutors are skilled. And even a lot of blue voters don't necessarily like violence and thuggery. And working class blacks have little sympathy for whitebread trust fund babies cosplaying as revolutionaries.

Yes, but in the past it would have been 1.Regime change 2.support the newly installed regime 3.load the US military into country to suppress the low grade insurrection until it become a giant insurrection while 4.Giving really nice deals to get resource extraction companies in country to create income that nominally will be used to support the suppression of the insurrection from the secret offshore accounts.


Since this has failed ever since the US first tried this with Diem in 1964, it is nice to see we have skipped right ahead to suppressing the common enemy that is threatening the current regime and letting them make their own decisions at the cost of not supporting our enemies who are also raping Venezuela's economy at the same time.
