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

Willowed:
Jill Stein just had a warrant issued for her arrest. Trespassing and assault on a police officer.
Remember her? Trotsky to Bernie's Stalin an election cycle or two ago.
The difference between her and "Doctor" Jill Biden is that Stein is an actual MD... Haaavard Medical School, no less, and she's old enough that it still meant something.
Too bad she went batshit crazy somewhere along the way.

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

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

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

All the guys were probably thinking Aisha's older 7 year old sister would then be fair game. Such an enlightened people.

He thinks a Dem wave year alone will carry him over the finish line. He deeply believes in the invincibility of the generic ballot democratic candidate.

If this is anywhere close to being true, it's unfathomable this is where we are as a country.
Anyone in MI care to enlighten me on whether or not Rogers is hitting his islamist pig hard in advertising and outreach? Too early? Too spineless? There's a treasure trove of material on people like this animal, and Talarfreako being another, that should be an easy sail to victory for the R if only they made the public fully aware of their own words.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

And now this? This was obviously coordinated. They will never ever ever ever ever stop fucking the Epstein pig.

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

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

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

Hunter Thompson approached it in Fear and Loathing but never spent much time in DC to understand its culture and how that affected who ran the political machines for the Dems and GOP.

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

No, I mean possibly declaring a national emergency over it and overriding courts and the states on election procedures. It would be crossing the Rubicon so I don't know if Trump will pull the trigger but I think from his earlier more mild statement, he just might do it.
Same as declaring the ballroom a military installation and massive security risk. Trump also quietly militarized the Southern Border including a key AZ Indian Reservation that had served as an open door for cartel and immigrant smuggling. Shut. And we are in an on and off again shooting war with Iran. So we shall see what happens.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I once served as a delegate for the Republican Convention back in Virginia.
Shortly afterward, I started getting LOTS of fundraising requests from Democrat campaigns.
My first thought was "these idiots, I worked for the other side!"
It was only after further reflection that I realized they probably get better than 50% response from targeting "Republican" delegates. I was the idiot who didn't realize how infiltrated the GOP was.

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

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

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

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

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

Yes. Tribalism has a lot to do with politics. The "mothers murdering their kids in cold blood" demographic must be leftwing because they are always instantly and unconditionally supported by the tribalists, no matter what.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

You'd think that all these people with their sociology degrees would have at least read the forward in one of their trumped up textbooks.
Here's a clue. Americans are spiteful. You ban something, it becomes more popular and almost a rite of passage to test the limits.
Try this: "Anyone bringing green dildos to the games will be removed."
Now: "If you wear a chromosome shirt, you will be asked to leave."

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

"Satou Sabally’s concussion battle feels unfair — but it’s right for her to prioritize health"
"DiJonai Carrington has WNBA fan escorted from courtside — he returned after ‘unfounded’ complaint"

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

What you yourself are citing are social structures. And that's my point, things can have similar social dynamics.
Posted by: Axeman at August 18, 2026 12:38 PM (Fi81e)
I suppose there's some overlap. But a religion tells you how to behave, just like a social structure, but it also tells you how to FEEL as well. Hate this group, they wear blue. Love this group, they wear green like you. It ties into an emtional connection beyond simply being a set of rules.
Marxism tells you to hate Capitalists (wrecks and looters).
Technically a religion barely needs to have a supernatural element, like Confusionism where it is very much in the background.
Now I suspect all religions have a supernatural origin, but that's beside my point.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

What is the actual purpose of the WNBA, which runs a $40 million deficit that is paid by the NBA? There is no prospect of the league becoming profitable. They are an embarrassing public clown show. Who benefits?
Usually with funding comes control, but apparently nobody is demanding anything in return for the $40 million.
Is the NBA paying protection money? Does the NBA believe that the existence of the WNBA helps them in some way?

Happy Birthday Sophie Cunningham! Happy (almost belated) Birthday from the west coast. May you find comfort and zen in your 30's!
(Tons of simple replies wishing her a happy birthday are hidden because they have hundreds of downvotes)
Cunningham and her supporters are on the wrong side of history. We've argued the logical humane side and not much more productive will happen on a reddit sub regarding this issue. Donate to an LGBTQ+ org, volunteer for candidates that support trans people, and keep it moving. Don't engage with these posts that are trying to rage bait. Down vote and move on. Post lots of quality content about your non-Fever related teams.
MAGA grift ruins everything it touches, including this sub apparently
The republican alt wnba sub has been egging its members on all day to brigade this sub because the mods here are “censoring” posts and comments about cunningham, meaning they enabled a bot filter because transphobes are pretending to like her/this sport in order to be openly transphobic
Hope she’s out of the league next year
She'll be out in two months. Then we’ll be tortured by her on Fox News

Hence the overwhelming adoration for Sydney Sweeney here. Great rack, great politics (I think), but mid-level face that requires a lot of makeup and filtering.

She is a pretty well built girl. She isn't a total butter face, but she has some bulldog like quality to her. She looks much better smiling as do most. But unsmiling she does not have a great look. But as an older fellow, I kid you not when i say personality and a willing attitude mean more than any physical characteristic as long as you aren't looking like triggleypuff.

I could have made that layup, Angel. Pathetic.
I only watched girls HS basketball because I was on the bench or forced in for a long shot and free throws to avoid blackeyes and a concussion (I already had two shiners and one concussion, which was during practice). I was more interested in the HS boy's basketball game that followed. Have not watched girl' basketball since.
Did it take trans in this sport to get national interest?
Now due to Sophie people watch and/or throw green dildos. I think they were green, possibly purple. Or rainbow dildos.

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

Two-thirds of young Americans and 71% of Hispanics disapprove of Trump, but Black voters haven't fully returned
“ There isn’t much evidence that Democrats have figured out how to talk to these voters again, but for two of the three groups, Trump’s declining approval rating is doing the job for them.”

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

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

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

Hedonism is literally not thinking. Nihilism is having no confidence in thinking. At least existentialism is thinking, even including Sartre.
One of the greatest thinkers since the Enlightenment, Soren Kierkegaard, was retroactively named as one of the originators of existentialism. (The other being Nietzsche, who nonetheless is interesting to have read.)

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

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

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

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

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

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

Yes. Because I have concierge care. So this is my experience every time I see him. I can text him right now and even tell him it’s a test to prove what I have, and he will text me back in 5 minutes. Him. Not an answering service. If his NP is on call, then it’s her. I have a crap plan from the exchange, the worst and cheapest one they offer for catastrophic care. I have never used it. I get everything done at my doctor’s office for the monthly fee I pay him, labs are drawn there and discounted. It ends up being less than a top tier medical insurance plan for my daughter and me for far better care.

I don't agree anything has been blown. The fact that Republicans are in the running to retain both the House and Senate is actually a sign of the opposite. No matter how much smoke Democrats blow about El Sayed he's not exactly blowing the doors off in Michigan. He won Dearbornistan and college areas and got smoked with the black vote in Detroit and other urban areas. He was predicted to win his primary by double digits and one by a single point.

It is very hard to get in to be seen for an appointment with an actually primary care doctor and you have long waits for cardiology procedures unless you present to the Emergency room.

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

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

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

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

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

And yet somehow they are the majority in both the House and Senate.
I would suggest that while Republicans as a whole might not be beloved, Democrats are a whole lot less popular than the media would have people believe.
I hire a politician to do a job. I don't have to love them. While most Republicans are less than ideal, Democrats are fucking nuts and enemy of the American people.

Until you figure out this Party is hated by literally everyone outside the Beltway, you'll keep being mystified about why it can't perform, absent him at the top of the ticket. You'll keep blaming its former voters for their litany of failure. Anything to avoid recognizing that it is metaphysically useless, so they can continue losing with "dignity."

Overdone a bit. No one likes to bash the GOP more than I, but ordinary voters see it as a choice between two evils. The DSA and nutjobs like Sayed and Mamdani though are enough to alarm people that actually have businesses, pay taxes, and otherwise do productive work. Literally no one other than Dem fart sniffers think (and this is reflected in the polls) that the Dems and their vague policy proposals for Congress other than Orangeman Bad will do anything about 'affordability'. GOP sucks, Dems suck more. Indys are the battleground.

FWIW, if Tossoff was so popular, why is the vast majority of his money coming from out of state, not GA donors. And the idiot has delusions of grandeur in being hypped by some as their 2028 candidate for prezzie.
It is always a horse race in GA politics but most of the bloviations of the Erick Erickson crew and the flaccid AJC have less value than a smelly fart. At least after you do that, you get some relief--none such is true from reading the AJC or listening to that fat disgusting Erickson whose panties are permanently in a wad.
------------------
I don't disagree with a lot of this but the reality in GA is that swing voters are suburban women and they like him.
Again, I'm not saying I agree, but that's the reality here. Alpharetta wine moms.

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

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

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

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

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

God's words and purposes cannot fail, but man's paraphrase can fail quite a lot. Scripture may be infallible, but the teachers of scripture are not themselves scripture.

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

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

He gave us Iran and the terrorist state.
He took the Panama Canal our great strategic maritime asset. He fueled inflation to a state where nobody trusts institutions. He devalued the prestige of America around the world.
It's all still there generations later.

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

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

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

“ There isn’t much evidence that Democrats have figured out how to talk to these voters again, but for two of the three groups, Trump’s declining approval rating is doing the job for them.”

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

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

So, therefore, a foreign citizen in this country is subject to this country’s laws.
Of course, you can always be found guilty of violating the terms of their visa and then get deported…which may or may not happen over the next 40 years.

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

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

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

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

Women kill. A lot.

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

The really amazing thing is the staffers waking up and saying, "How can I ensure that I'll never be hired by another Republican?"
Posted by: I used to have a different nic
=========
The dirty truth is senior staffers are well to the left of the GOP voters. And that is because they spend all their time working with their Democrat counterparts and DC is a Democrat city It is also because many come from or hope to join the vast grifting K street apparatus that is donor driven. And GOP donors are to the left of the GOP base voters, and the Dem donors are usually to the right of the Dem base voters. Not always in the Dem case but usually.
Part of that is that the donor class is deeply in love with globo homo--on the right, endless ways to make money abroad by outsourcing and cheap immigrant labor. On the left, euro socialism, managed competition via cartels like Euroland, and permanent uber status over what they regard as patriotic peasantry.

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

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

If you want to see a "surge" in aa given disease, distribute a home administered test kit.

There is more to diagnosing a disease than a positive test result. I ask myself if there is any value to diagnosing an asymptomatic person with a disease. Self-limited conditions for the most part do not require diagnosis.

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

These people want their cities wrecked. They don't mind if their lives are bad, so long as they feel they are sticking it to Trump, Jews, other white people, rich people, and normies in far-flung places who care nothing about them.
They're Communists, and they're getting what they want. These mayors will be able to turn around and say "the chocolate ration has been increased from 50 grams to 30 grams. Things only seem worse thanks to the shenanigans of Trump, Jews, other white people, rich people, and normies in far-flung places. But we stuck it to them, and we can stick it to them again. Plus, we'll increase the chocolate ration to 15 grams."
And they'll get reelected, and then rise to higher offices.
These aren't Americans. They're extremely hostile foreigners whose single issue is sticking it to us. They view their own misfortunes as both being caused by us, and as a patriotic duty in the war against us.

And the Democrat project to put a bunch of Turd Worlders on the bench are creating a severe backlash to any of their idiotic rulings to the point where none of their decisions are considered 'law' by a large proportion of the citizenry.
Biden was asked at one point didn't he need the voters of moderates. His answer was something like "not any more!"
With massive vote fraud those blue state officials don't need 51% of the voting population to support them anymore.

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

"Outstanding Refugee" winner Salman Elmi was just arrested for $1 million in Medicaid fraud, 8 felonies, and a sex trafficking ring
Elmi co-owned a Medicaid "business" that was funding a sex trafficking ring
He weaponized the trafficking ring by using the victims' stolen identities to fabricate medical billing claims

At the end of the day, you have to have support from the citizenry over the longer run, more so in a large country with islands of blue in seas of red American counties.
Everyone suspects our elections now are fake and gay and that foreign money is buying our politicians. That is a knife edge away from wholesale decision by the public to seek a Caesar to put the ruling class back in its box.

I talk with people who complain about some issue, then go re-elect the pol that directly created that issue. And I don't mean this is a complex issue where you could analyze it in different ways - I mean where the candidate runs on "I will pass law X". My LIVs acquaintances say "I hate X". Then they vote for the candidate who wins and implements X and the LIVs complain about it.
While getting rid of the millions of fraudulent ballots is obviously issue #1, getting this class of people to stop voting is issue #2.

Trump lowered taxes, historic lows in illegal immigration and crime; ended wars, made America energy independent, brought down pharma prices, reduced inflation, restoring faith in institutions, defanging Iran, working to revolutionize "clean" energy through nukes and alternative thermals, restoring monuments and public parks, lowering unemployment, doing the necessary legwork in increasing "affordability", recovering hundreds of billions lost to fraud, tariffs to increase competitiveness...
Which of those needs to be fought?

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

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

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

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

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

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

Both played centrist, service-oriented freshmen, and Congress needed a new generation of leaders. They were independents, not aligned with any aggressive caucus faction. They cast their ballots for Cheri Bustos. (Another, Anthony Brindisi, is serving as a federal judge on the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of NY (Biden appointed)).
Other interesting additions, Madeleine "Decency" Dean of PA also sworn in Jan. 2019, and Mary Gay Scanlon, who technically entered Congress Nov. 13, 2018, because she won a special election to fill the immediate vacancy of a Republican Rep. who resigned April. (Note the Court had also just created a new 5th Congressional District in PA in 2018, and the structural shift turned the District into a reliably safe Democratic district, leveling the state's delegation from 13-5 Republican majority to a 9-9 tie.)
But Republicans won control of the U.S. House of Representatives. Since Pelosi wasn't going to be Speaker, she 'chose to hand the minority leadership reins to a new generation.' House Democrats elected Hakeem Jeffries as their new leader Nov. '22.
Posted by: L - No nic, another fine day at August 18, 2026 11:44 AM (NFX2v)
AOC, a NY member, keeps a separation from the national DSA organization.
A few months ago, James Carville was pretty critical of AOC, viewing her brand of progressive politics as a major liability for the Democrat party.
Yesterday on Fox, he's not concerned about socialists taking over the Democrat Party and, suddenly, praises AOC for finally shifting her rhetoric toward the center. And on Sunday, Hakeem Jeffries also said he didn't back the agenda of DSA.
Timing.
As long as "Obamacare" is kept as the framework for Medicare/Medicaid expansion, the Democrat party shifts faster & further Left, though denying moving towards full blown socialism.
And while Steny Hoyer & James Clyburn have also stepped down from formal Democrat House leadership positions, for a younger generation of leaders, Clyburn is running again.
To rise, Sanders' AOC needs both Jeffries and Clyburn, who will also keep eyes on the new House socialists, including Chris Rabb, Adam Hamawry and more, time being.
Order #227, and excelling at theater.

187 I was sort of throwing stuff at the wall today and realized something I knew but had never thought about. The Left (leftists, not leftards) doesn't care about ideology at all. One of the reasons they always end up killing each other. All they really care about is that they can make you lie for them.
Because whether you're a big dummy or a very low personality, if you will repeat their lies, they know you are controllable. That's one of the reasons (besides the obvious) that lying is so integral to everything they do. Anyone can tell the truth about something, even accidentally, or when it suits them. But if you are willing to repeat a particular lie, or set of lies, you are temporarily useful.

Awake now from a dream about attending the first half hour of rehearsals for a college play in which one attractive female cast member was going to be dressed as a cross between Tinkerbell and the Creature from the Black Lagoon. Don't ask me what it was about, or who wrote it. In my dream I had the feeling the actors were making it up as they went along. You know, kinda like real life.

The Left doesn't give a damn about the real working class. The people who drive trucks, pour concrete, fix air conditioners, maintain sewage plants or clean offices. To them, those people are just dumb losers.
No, by "working class" they mean themselves. The ones who partied for four years on student debt, acquired a useless degree but no knowledge, work habits, or traits that make them valuable to an employer. No God, no sense of duty, no humility.

Hayes dropped out of high school, but his former teachers at Manassas High School in Memphis encouraged him to complete his diploma, which he did at the age of 21.
After graduating from high school, Hayes was offered several music scholarships from colleges and universities.
He turned down all of them to provide for his immediate family, working at a meat-packing plant in Memphis by day and playing nightclubs and juke joints several evenings a week in Memphis and nearby northern Mississippi.

How many devs, and what's your experience with it? $DAY_JOB uses GitHub Enterprise and there's increasing dissatisfaction with it. Given that we host issues in Jira and pipelines in TeamCity the only thing we're using it for is branch protection and PR policies, and barely that.
(My experience is that GHE is a terrible product and that companies only use it for closed source internal development because it's what the cool kids use rather than because it, you know, works)

Monday Overnight Open Thread...PC Crisis Edition (8/17/26)
Though Hamlet rambles and Lear rages,-- William Butler Yeats
And all the drop-scenes drop at once
Upon a hundred thousand stages,
It cannot grow by an inch or an ounce.
When the Kung Flu hit our shores what did Dr.
In May 2021, Janet Woodcock, the Acting Commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), sent an email to Dr. Anthony Fauci, then director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), and Dr. Francis Collins, then director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Director, expressing concern about the large number of adverse events she was hearing about following COVID vaccinations. The correspondence, released by Senators Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) and Rand Paul (R-Ky.) on Sunday, expose how federal health officials ignored early safety signals. Woodcock said she had personally received reports from people, including many healthcare professionals, experiencing hard to classify adverse events that were not being captured by existing surveillance systems like VAERS. She said all three of the vaccines— Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson—were resulting in these injuries. “The symptoms do not fit into a specific syndrome and most are not easily quantifiable or evaluated with standard laboratory testing,” she wrote, adding, “no one takes them seriously, no one knows how to treat them, and there is no effort to study this.”

Not so much seals, but little microcracks in that Rooskie module, likely caused by metal fatigue from the repeated docking.
The Rooskies just wanted to take a hack saw and cut something where they get to the area, NASA had a hissy fit that it was too risky and ordered our people into the Dragon, if you remember.
The Rooskies, thinking we were just a bunch of pussies, agreed to hold off on that. They're now just "watching" and doing some other tricks.

The spacewalk procedure is a PITA. The ISS atmosphere is 21% O2 and 79% N2 at 1 atm, basically sea level air. But, the spacesuit atmosphere is pure O2 at a little over 4 psi.
So, the bends would be a big problem if they jumped in the suits and went outside. They have to camp out inside the airlock over-"night", where they reduce the pressure to about 10 psi. That gets the N2 levels down on its own. Then they have to prebreathe pure O2 for a couple hours before getting in the suits and depressurizing the airlock.

TY Eris, she was a sweet kitty. Showed up in the neighborhood 19 yrs ago. Little girls next door were eating butterscotch cookies that day, thus the name. They fed her and played with her.
Later that summer she had kittens in the neighbor's wood pile. We took them all in to protect the kittens. Eventually we found homes for the kittens and ended up keeping Scotches.
She ruled the roost thru 2 big labs who came and went during her tenure. Lately she allowed the latest dog, Flash, to share her home and frequently jousted with him.
She was a Tortie and according to Scottish tradition if a Tortie choses your home it is good luck. And that is true, we were lucky to have such a sweetheart for 19 yrs.

Well she's 20 but WTF is this to come home to? I check, no breathing, no pulse. Dig a hole, carry her to the backdoor and I hear something, like she exhaled.
Wait and chalk it up to the death exhale, no movement, no pulse. I place her in the cold ground, then her legs moved! Took Sally inside, laid her down, petted her and she started breathing noticeably.
Soon realized it was time to let her go, stopped petting and she was gone in a few minutes.

Nurse friends were worried about me going to this concert due to my reputation.
I made the highest grade in the class for this test and wondered if seeing a concert the night prior was the secret. I obviously did not party that night!

Posted by: Nordisk Tidende
Twice in the last couple of years I’ve had something called a vertigo attack, which feels like either food poisoning or a horrible hangover, but has nothing to do with alcohol. The causes are very difficult to pin down. For me, day started off normal but then I started feeling dizzy and light headed; drove home quickly while I still could. (Hard to drive when the world is spinning)
Ended up laying on the bathroom floor for about 4 hours; even the slightest motion brought intensely painful attempts at vomiting. Finally lessened enough to sleep, and when I woke up I was back to normal.
Damned strange and scary event.

Posted by: GWB at August 17, 2026 10:58 PM (kU0PQ)
There was no way that the FBI was trying to recruit Fang as an agent with hopes of getting useful info on the CCP from her. Her parents were MSS agents, so there was never any chance of her defecting or becoming our double. They only 'tried' to recruit her to give a reason to keep Swalwell in office, in case that info ever got out. His usefulness to the Dems ended when they needed a couple of people thrown over the side to help the Dems in the CA governor race. At that point, they cut him loose to have him fend for himself.

Had a major vertigo attack some years ago-- first and only, thank God-- and it made me so seasick! Had hubby take me to urgent care clinic. I couldn't stand up straight, barely could walk due to dizziness. Couldn't turn my head without being overcome with nausea. Awful.
Turned out to be a problem with my inner ear-- particles suspended in that fluid inside the labyrinth. The Epley Maneuver, coupled with Zofran, worked wonders.
Still, had to take a whole week off work before it resolved.

See BPPV, benign parox-something vertigo. Inner ear "disturbance". I had an attack of that a while back. Nystagmus -- rapid eye movement -- is a symptom of that.
The inner ear provides your brain's attitude and acceleration sensing system. It's well adapted for life on the ground under 1g. Not so well adapted for 3D motion as on an airplane.

Sit in a swivel chair and have some rotate you one way or the other. Your brain can sense which way you turned and about how much.
But that sensing only works for a little while. Under steading rotation, the things in your inner ear that sense that equilibrate, and you loose the sense you are rotating.
The coriolis accelerations in a rotating frame also wreak havoc with that rotation sensing system. About 5 or 6 RPM is the limit. Although some people can adapt to higher, but it's a bitch.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. (French roots)
Watched a commercial this evening regarding an anti-viral for C19 exposure. That one clearly recommended it should not be taken by pregnant women as it might cause fetal harm. But also interesting, not all COVID-19 antivirals carry this same restriction as they work differently 'at the molecular level.' Though old, I was wondering if OB-GYNs nowadays are well trained to discuss the safest options for their young patients when new drugs (including anti-virals) are appearing rapidly. (More cans of worms.)
NYT, 'He Was a MAGA Patriot. ICE Took His Wife Away.' And it was lousy journalism with the worse color commentary. (A freezing holding room, hot van, she sent her engagement ring back to him for holding, lack of sleep - like a hospital, crabcake dinner, etc.) I hope the Asian tech guy does find true happiness in Cleveland, OH when he finally leaves Cali. 🤨

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

I was sort of throwing stuff at the wall today and realized something I knew but had never thought about. The Left (leftists, not leftards) doesn't care about ideology at all. One of the reasons they always end up killing each other. All they really care about is that they can make you lie for them.
Because whether you're a big dummy or a very low personality, if you will repeat their lies, they know you are controllable. That's one of the reasons (besides the obvious) that lying is so integral to everything they do. Anyone can tell the truth about something, even accidentally, or when it suits them. But if you are willing to repeat a particular lie, or set of lies, you are temporarily useful.

The chambers of the inner ear each have their own fluid supply that's being constantly created and destroyed. In most people, that balances out. If you have Meniere's, it doesn't, and eventually the pressure breaks the flimsy membranes between the chambers, and the "wrong" fluid winds up in both chambers.
That causes instant-onset vertigo if the chamber dealing with balance gets hit. So instant that some people just drop to the floor when it happens. Thankfully mine isn't that bad, but it does send me stumbling in a zig-zag line for the commode. I called myself an ambulance the first time it happened in my 40s; thought I had a brain tumor or something.
It also causes progressive hearing loss when the chamber dealing with hearing gets hit.
In 80% of people, it only hits one ear. Nobody knows why. And nobody really knows what causes it in the first place, despite it being identified in the mid 1800s. "Stay hydrated" is the only thing the ENT could say. Cut down on caffeine & salt.

It's shorthand, not labels. I use leftist for the movement people. These are the ones who will do absolutely anything for power. They are the ones running the country for the most part. Any elected official with those leanings is leftist.
Leftards on the other hand are the people who believe them or buy enough of the story or are just ignorant enough (BIRM) to stay on the plantation. They have no idea that it ends with killing fields even if many are so weak and spineless and dumb they would go along when it came to that.

I just did a search. The recommended anodes for aluminum boats are, get this, aluminum. There is also something called "navalloy". Anodes are most important if your boat is moored in salt or brackish water.
Seriously, this is something, that if done wrong, could destroy the value of your boat. I'd recommend seeking advice from your boat's manufacturer, or a long-established marine hardware dealer in your AO.

Poor thing just walked in circles when they first got here. By the last day, she was sleeping all the time. Had to keep looking carefully to see whether she was even breathing. I'm surprised the little thing was still alive-- she looked awful last summer and seemed sick.

Something I didn't know, or didn't remember that I'm going over now is the Ancient Greek Homos estimated the distance to the Moon pretty damned accurately. They came up with 60 earth radii.
They also estimated the distance to the Sun, but were off by a factor of 10. They couldn't measure an angle close enough and the distance varied greatly with small changes in an angle they were trying to measure, and came up with about 1200 earth radii.

They knew the earth was a sphere, but had a geocentric view, thinking the earth was at the center of the cosmos, and the heavens just rotated around it. They didn't have a notion of gravity as we think of it. There were the four elements, earth, water, air, and fire. Everything had its place, with earth at the lowest, water above it, then air and fire. The earth was at the center, and closest to the center, where "it wanted to go". So nothing needed to hold it up, because it was at the center.

It's a more modern corruption that Atlas was condemned to hold up the earth. His task was to hold up the sky, the celestial sphere. Early depictions had him holding a globe, which came to be thought of as the earth. That globe was originally the sky.

From Half-Wiki Pedophilia:
Bug Tussle [Texas] has been noted for its unusual place name. More than seventy Bug Tussle highway signs have been stolen.
The most accepted origin to Bug Tussle's name was from an incident in the 1890s when a swarm of insects spoiled an ice cream social. Another possible origin of the name comes from picnickers, who watched bugs fight after eating. Another possible origin comes from two residents who wanted to change the name. During an argument, the town got distracted by the sight of two dung beetles fighting.
That last origin is "Squirrel!" adjacent and thus most credible, IMHO. That the fight involved two dung beetles is just * chef's kiss *.

A sanctified shit ton.
One solar mass is about 330K earth masses (or about 1000 Jupiter masses). No, in the Milky Way, the mass range of stars goes from about .08 to 100-150 solar masses. Anything less than that can't be a star, as it doesn't get "heavy" enough to fuse hydrogen. More massive stars have shorter and shorter lifetimes. At some point, they just can't get any bigger.
Now, the distribution of those stars. The majority of stars are less massive than the sun, being red dwarfs up to about 0.5 solar masses. The mean mass is somewhere around 0.3 - 0.4.

Weight.... not mass
Getting at the mythological cosmologies that viewed the heavens as weightless and floating in a big sphere with the heavy earth at the middle... they really weren't far off from the truth. From a terrestrial perspective, the heavenly objects really don't have "weight", in spite of being so massive. What's pulling on them? The Earth? Not significantly. So they look like they're just floating. Because they kind of are.

Pythagoras and some other first proposed the earth was a sphere around the 500s BC. This was just because a sphere was a perfect shape.
Then Aristotle came along and noticed that ships disappeared bottom first on the horizon, and that the earth casts a round shadow on the Moon during the partial lunar eclipse phases.
And then Eratosthenes did the shadow and stick thing and came up with a pretty good estimate of the radius of earth.

There was some woo-woo nonsense that spread on Tik-Tok that gravity was going to turn off for a few second during the recent solar eclipse.
Now, the current best theory of gravity is General Relativity, the Einstein Field Equations. Big 'G', Newton's gravitational constant is in there as a coupling constant.
However, the mathematical form of the EFE does not allow for G to be anything but a constant. IOW, saying turning off gravity is a mathematical contradiction there.
People have proposed something like a time-varying G, but to do that, you've got to add something else to the equations, making it different from GR. And, the more and more they look, the tighter and tighter the constraints on how much different the true theory of gravity can be from Einstein.

If G were not constant, then some mass would have to be more mass-y than others. As if one electron could be more charge-y or spin-y than another one.
And yet mass is "floopy". It's not absolute or constant, it changes based on how fast it's going, or how close it is to other masses.
And yet another yet.... G stays constant.

That's the distinction between rest mass and relativistic mass. You can think of the mass of a particle as being multiplied by gamma. But that view is sort of problematic.
Energy is mass and mass is energy via mc^2. And mass is inertia. Energy gravitates and has inertia. A box containing light bouncing back forth has more inertia than an empty box. And it gravitates.

And it gets even more than that. In GR, the source of the gravitational field (which is the curvature of spacetime), is the stress-energy tensor. The math here, well, hoo-boy.
But this means the source of the gravitational field is four things. Mass-energy, the currents of said mass-energy, plus *momentum* and the currents of that momentum.
The momentum part means that gravity depends on *pressure*. Put that in your pipe and smoke it. That pressure term contribution goes as p/c^2. That is the mass equivalent of pressure. For most matter, that is vanishingly small. But when you get really, really dense objects, like neutron stars, that becomes significant.

I haven't had gas bad enough to alter gravity in quite some time.
Posted by: mikeski at August 18, 2026 04:45 AM (VHUov)
That pressure thing makes for a interesting runaway effect. Imagine a spherical mass distribution and you start packing more and more mass onto it, and you hold some constant density requirement (artificial, but this would be a perfect incompressible fluid).
Now, as you pile more and more mass on it, the pressure in the center increases. But, that pressure increases the gravity. So the pressure required to resist the gravity increases the gravity even more.
The result is that for a spherical mass distribution of constant density, the radius can be no less than 9/8 of the Schwarzschild radius. At that point, the pressure at the center goes to infinity.

The chambers of the inner ear each have their own fluid supply that's being constantly created and destroyed. In most people, that balances out. If you have Meniere's, it doesn't, and eventually the pressure breaks the flimsy membranes between the chambers, and the "wrong" fluid winds up in both chambers.
That causes instant-onset vertigo if the chamber dealing with balance gets hit. So instant that some people just drop to the floor when it happens. Thankfully mine isn't that bad, but it does send me stumbling in a zig-zag line for the commode. I called myself an ambulance the first time it happened in my 40s; thought I had a brain tumor or something.
It also causes progressive hearing loss when the chamber dealing with hearing gets hit.
In 80% of people, it only hits one ear. Nobody knows why. And nobody really knows what causes it in the first place, despite it being identified in the mid 1800s. "Stay hydrated" is the only thing the ENT could say. Cut down on caffeine & salt.
Thankfully, I'm a one-ear person, so I can still hear fine on one side. Huey Lewis has the 2-ear version, and it ended his singing career.

You will all be pleased to know I worked out the problem with The Big Dummy's 2026 show record. A six-point discrepancy in his Grand Champion points was due to missing the Midwest Borzoi Club specialty for 5 points and crediting him with one point instead of two at another show. My books balance perfectly now.

I've been watching episodes of "Freakazoid". It's so deliriously random. The 90's had some excellent cartoons, like "Animaniacs" and "Pinky and the Brain", that purported grownups can enjoy even more than the kiddos. I'd put early Aughts "Invader Zim" in that category too.

It's long since moved into twilight zone territory. They simply cannot acknowledge that he might be correct on any issue whatsoever.

I asked Grok, and here's what it said on the cartoonists that have drawn her:
Early Ditko = intentionally odd gag character.
Henderson-era (and similar) = intentionally non-glamorous, expressive cartooning that matches the comedy and rejects typical sexualized superheroine design.
Other artists = more standard attractive proportions and features.
There's a wide range of looks, and a lot of them are deliberately FUGLY. But not always for political reasons, it seems

This is as misleading as Otis from the cartoon Barnyard having an udder.

Quick Hits
Trump's tariffs on Canada are about to hit. Suddenly our Gay Race Communist neighbors want to negotiate.
Facing President Donald Trump's crippling tariff threat that's set to come into effect on Wednesday, Canada is continuing to negotiate a trade deal that will allow it to avoid the tariffs and get additional relief on existing tariffs in key sectors. However, despite meetings between Canadian and American negotiators over the last three weeks, the two countries can't move beyond an impasse in these last days, the CBC reported. Negotiators fear there may be no way to avoid the 50% tariffs on hundreds of Canadian goods, the CBC's source said. Washington isn't budging on its demands while the Canadian government hopes to convince provinces to lift restrictions on American alcohol. Trump imposed the tariffs due to what he said is discrimination toward U.S. automobile, dairy and alcohol sectors.Oof: Nancy Mace shows off her full-sleeve tattoos. Feminist women are really determined to uglify themselves to Defeat the Male Gaze.
Nancy Mace reveals why she got 9 tattoos in 'rapid succession' while serving in CongressI'm going to guess: Typical mental breakdown of a feminist white woman reverting to 8th grade patterns of self-harm?
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) has gotten nine tattoos as a member of Congress because getting inked provides "the pain that I need to feel," the congresswoman said in a revealing profile released on Friday. The 48-year-old congresswoman got the tattoos in "rapid succession" between a period in late 2023 and early 2024, marked by the breakup with her fiancé and an exodus of staffers from her office, some of whom viewed working for Mace as "toxic," according to Politico. Aside from a need to feel "pain," Mace described getting tattoos as a way to "reclaim" her body and identity.So yes, she was cutting herself so that she could feel alive. What do I win? I cannot wait until this toxic basket-case is out of public life. Alas, that will never happen. She will just go the way of Marjorie Trailer-Queen, and become an "Influencer" claiming to be "true MAGA" while attacking MAGA. All because we disagreed with these talentless narcissists about how important they were to the movement.
One of her nine tattoos is the opening line of Virginia Woolf's famous novel, "Mrs. Dalloway." Woolf, as Politico pointed out, committed suicide in 1941 over fears "she was going mad." "So my story is I am totally broken," the congresswoman and South Carolina Republican gubernatorial candidate is quoted as saying in the profile. Mace details the strained relationship she has with her father, her struggles in becoming the first female graduate at The Citadel and alleged instances of sexual molestation and rape that she's been the victim of throughout the piece. "I have PTSD over what I've been through," she said.
Of course:
Plans to ban white swimmers from Berlin public pool trigger backlashOh, an NGO pushing Third World Supremacy. What a surprise.
A Berlin pool was forced to cancel an event that excluded white swimmers after it faced a backlash. The Volksbühne, a theatre in the city centre, was allocated [Euro]300,000 (£255,000) of taxpayers' money to open a "people's swimming pool", which it initially pledged would be "open for all who are seeking to cool down in the increasingly hot Berlin summers". But the Volksbüaut;hne advertised an event scheduled for Friday in which the pool would be open "exclusively to black communities" for six hours as part of a collaboration with the non-governmental organisation Each One Teach One.
Stefan Evers, the city's finance minister, who is running as the Christian Democrat candidate for mayor, said: "I don't believe in dividing people by skin colour." He added: "I understood the 'People's Swimming Pool' as a swimming pool for everyone."
The move was also opposed by Christoph Meyer, the centre-Right Free Democratic Party candidate, who said: "Public spaces must bring society together, not segregate people based on skin colour." Elif Eralp, the Left Party's candidate for mayor and the current front-runner in September's election, defended the exclusion of white swimmers, saying: "On Friday, an association has booked the pool for its members legally. In doing so, the People's Swimming Pool provides access for people who are frequently affected by exclusion and racism. Labelling this as a form of discrimination is very revealing."
Steffen Krach, the Social Democratic Party candidate, added: "One can debate the decision made by the [event organisers], but not at the expense of people of colour." The event has since been cancelled, with the theatre complaining that it had become a "target of Right-wing and racist incitement". ... This scorching summer has broken records for Germany's hottest day ever, and 12,500 people, mostly aged 85 or older, have died owing to the extreme heat, according to the Robert Koch Institute.
The line between "we want equity" and "we demand to be made your masters" has never been thinner or briefer.

Like, if your religion prohibits you from eating whatever it is that you eat, that's your problem. That's not a US American problem. I work at a pantry, and we also gave a free lunch, a free meal, and we had to be deciphering between pork and non-pork, and they wanted halal.... Like, at the end of the day, we're giving you a free meal. At the end of the day, you chose to come here. You know our way of life. So it's either assimilate or leave -- another thing, I'm with Spain.

Since announcing that she was freezing her eggs on Instagram last weekend, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) has spent the week taking her 9.6 million followers along for the ride -- chronicling the process in detailed videos and answering questions while administering her shots.
ny post:
Far-left Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez haughtily proclaimed she doesn’t discuss her personal life just days after posting a video showcasing every step of her ongoing fertility treatment in excruciating detail.
She declined to answer when a Post reporter asked about her split from longtime fiancé Riley Roberts as she exited her Queens apartment building Wednesday morning to walk her French bulldog, Deco, whom she shared with Roberts.
"I don't comment on my private life -- thank you," the Democrat darling said with a smile -- and sans engagement ring -- before clamming up and refusing to respond to any follow-ups.

Seeing as the adults were otherwise occupied, the daughter of the other couple, and myself, went to the very large public pool in the city.
It was August, it was hot, we were bored ... and Kit looked cute in a one pice speed suit.
We had fun, no hassles from the Lyonaisse. While this was '69-'70, the mix of peoples was apparent, but not an issue.
When we went out to dinner that night with others in our travel group, they were appalled that we would mingle with the great unwashed in a public pool. The French hosts especially were mortified at our actions.

She saw for herself a political career as a fall-in-line, loud, obedient MAGA soldier...that was, until the day she saw the Epstein files. Something in those files broke her brain.

The new thing for feminoids is whining about "unpaid mental labor" and "emotional load". Apparently, men do not suffer from these things.

So 50 pct is 'crippling' but Canada has had 100/200/350 pct tariffs on some US products for decades without issue. That means that Canada pays more for those products every day.

1) Ugly. Ink will fade and look like old bruised arms someday. Like you have a bleeding disorder or on Coumadin. I have seen people like this 10 years later. It ain't pretty.
2) Particles from ink go to your lymph system. Does this not concern you? What is it doing to you?
3) If you have melanoma how will you see it? You can die by not spotting skin cancer early.
Did any of these points occur to Mace (what a weirdo!)? You have pain because you are a pain. Deal with it. Go to a shrink. Stop being how you are. Pain from a tattoo will not stop your inner wacko, Mace.

Largely they stem from overthinking everything. Men see, then do. Many women are incapable of proceeding in a similarly linear fashion.
I've seen plenty of couples where the woman has to be detail oriented and the man just waits for her to tell him what to do. He doesn't know what time the kid needs to be picked up from school. He doesn't know who the kid's doctor is. He doesn't pay the bills. He doesn't take the kid to practice. All he does is work and surf the internet when he gets home.
I suppose that can be somewhat normal if he's the only one working, but I've seen this when the wife works too.

I was reading one of the NASA Oral History interviews with one of the old school Rocket guys. Can't remember who it was, it doesn't matter.
But he mentioned that's what fucked NASA up. Admittedly they basically had a blank check in the early days, but they were very light on the overall number of personnel. They got shit done without layers and layers of bureaucracy. And he said what you just said here almost verbatim.
Today everyone has (false) responsibility and nobody has any authority. It's part of the "consensus" leadership style instruction or philosophy. Consensus is just the lack of leadership. You have to give people the authority to make mistakes, and, be held accountable for them.
General LeMay once said he didn't have the time to distinguish between those who were incompetent and those who were just plain unlucky. That makes sense too. Is it fair? No, maybe not. When millions of lives are at stake... But you can always go to Wisconsin and get your ass beat at the fair.

When we had all of the cuban and hatian refugees come to GITMO we had conex boxes delivered to the base that had orange bag humanitarian MRE's that were designed for the diets based on latin American countries that we handed out to the tens of thousands of refugees.
Every once in a while they would get the standard US military MRE's when we ran out of the special ones. Every time they lined up for food they all asked for the US military MRE's instead of the humanitarian ones.

The assembly is minimal and the process amounts to an evasion of US import regulations regarding these countries by the formality of a "Made in Canada" label.
Then there are the Canadian tariffs on US goods. Trump has notified them that the US will no longer pretend not to see this.
Also, Canadian media has 100% supported the Canadian government line that mentions none of this, and attributes US actions to Trump being a bully and big fat meany. The public largely doesn't know. And the Canadian government/establishment finds it too painful to back down and acknowledge any of this. So here we are.

The difference between the welfare folks here complaining about not getting good enough food (for free) and the muslims doing it is all on where their sense of entitlement is going. The welfare folks are just exercising a WAY overgrown sense of entitlement. The muslims want to conquer us through that overgrown sense of entitlement.
I'd gladly send both groups somewhere they didn't have a choice but to work their own a**es off to eat and survive.

Defund Fake "Education"
Why are we extorting money from taxpayers to take normal children and turn them into stupid and uneducated by completely arrogant mental patients?
Universities threaten students with investigations, disciplinary actions over 'deadnaming'Universities have time for this deplorable bullshit, of course, because they've done such a great job teaching students in the basics. Oh wait, no they haven't at all, have they?
Several U.S. colleges and universities, including CSU Northridge, the University of Oregon, and the University at Buffalo, have adopted policies that classify 'deadnaming' transgender students as harassment. Deadnaming is the act of referring to a transgender- or nonbinary-identifying individual by his or her birth name rather than the name the individual currently uses after 'transitioning.' ...
If deadnaming occurs on campus, CSU Northridge states on its "Office of Equity & Compliance (Title IX)" website that if faculty or fellow students deadname or fail to use a person's chosen pronouns, hearings can be held following a report to the office. CSU Northridge's website adds that "If a violation is found, discipline through the relevant counterparts will be discussed." On a University of Oregon website, the public university's "Prohibited Discrimination and Retaliation" policy allows officials to categorize deadnaming as harassment. It specifies that instances qualify as harassment when there is "intentional or repeated deadnaming or misgendering." ... Other universities, including private institutions such as Tufts University, also have policies on deadnaming and "misgendering" for students and faculty. The University at Buffalo states on its "Preferred/Chosen Names and Pronouns" web page that it "recognizes that individuals may use a name other than their legal name to identify themselves."
I teach calculus at Berkeley. Some of my students can't do middle school math Since the University of California abandoned the SAT and ACT, thousands of faculty say it's admitting students who aren't prepared for the coursework. Will UC listen? ... I teach mathematics at UC Berkeley. Three days a week, I stand in front of lecture halls with 500 to 1,400 students. By the second week of the semester, I already know who is in trouble. Some students are five to eight years behind in mathematics. Office hours that should be spent discussing integrals instead become lessons on fractions and basic algebra you would expect students to learn in middle school.K/b> ...What's the worse that can happen? Oh right, students might wind up Jason Ardaying themselves.
Before 2020, Berkeley administered a diagnostic exam to incoming Calculus I students. Between 2018 and 2020, 71% of roughly 2,200 students tested as ready or nearly ready for calculus. At the bottom of the distribution there was almost nobody. Just 0.14% tested below basic algebra. After UC adopted test-blind admissions, the picture changed dramatically.
Berkeley Calculus I readiness, before and after test-blind admissions ALEKS placement data shows 11.6% severe deficits and 71% near or ready in calculus. MDTP results show 33% severe deficits and 51% near or ready in topics passed. ... The classroom itself changed shape.
Before 2020, most students clustered toward the "ready" end of the spectrum, with only a tiny tail at the bottom. Afterward, the middle hollowed out, and the weakest students became the largest single group. We didn't end up with one somewhat weaker calculus class. We ended up teaching two different classes in one lecture hall: one for students who were prepared for college calculus and one for students who needed remedial mathematics that nobody had scheduled.
...
The people arguing this test-blind policy on television, in committee meetings, and in politics do not stand in front of 700 students three times a week or grade a first midterm with a pre-curved D/F average. We do. ... "The test-blind policy was a well-intentioned experiment," she wrote, "but the reality in our classrooms shows that it has failed." Admitting students who are unprepared, she warned, "sets them up for discouraging struggle. ... We cannot afford another cycle of administrative delay." That last sentence is at the heart of this debate.

About 15yrs ago when our son was teaching HS music classes a girl decided she was "Seth" and asked to change her stupido pronouns. He thought whatever and did not discuss it again.
Son had seen the light years prior and was working on a new degree to escape and did. Their loss.
He put up with it and out smarted her desire to get attention and be hysteric. One example is during marching band camp Seth wondered which restroom to use, hoping for a conniption. Son calmly told her to use the staff's and moved on.
Well, her mother found out about Seth at some point. And who did she blame? You got it! Our son!!! Like he told her to be Seth!
There was a sit down with the principal and supervisor and the stupid mother, and our son was supported and the mother had to deal.
This is how stupid this has gotten. Worse as now there are furries.

About six months late, this gal got it in her head that this was somehow his fault, and constituted some sort of offense that merited an investigation. He was expelled.

So take a student who couldn't pick up seventh-grade algebra by high-school graduation.
Put them in Calc I in college.
Expect this person--who's demonstrably unable or unwilling to learn math at a normal rate--to learn 6.5 years worth of math in a semester.
I'm sure that works well, and isn't setting them up for failure.
And doesn't drag down the students who are there to learn calculus.
The university gets paid either way, though, so good for them.

There are specific rules about child labor. The USDoL has Hazardous Orders, which are the expected "no deep pits, no mills, no bakery equipment, no radioactives, etc"
the states have their own rules, and for example, Oregon is pretty reasonable. However the taxing, insurance and FICA, and record keeping are hard for the employer, and high minimum wage requiring a steep learning curve makes hiring illegals a better deal

I never heard the final resolution, so I searched for current articles. There are NONE.
In all of the articles from June of 2025 when the fraud was exposed, the School Board vowed to get to the bottom of these accusations. Yet somehow not a single news source has reported how this investigation has been resolved.
I did find an old article that said that the principal had been "replaced".
I assume that means NOT fired and NOT jailed for fraud.
When the penalties for fraud are non-existent, and you get bonuses and awards for committing fraud, then fraud will necessarily increase.
Normies understand this. The "education experts" in charge of our schools are either too stupid to understand that, or are pretending to be too stupid.
I don't know which is worse?

Yes. It's called Title IX and is pure D bullsharte. When our sons were in college I told them if they had sex to get a signature of the girl & have it notarized. I was outraged.
Males have no chance to redeem themselves as it was not a court of law but a kangaroo court run by women.
One case in CA: Texts proved a boy received texts from a girl in his dorm. SHE wanted sex. They BOTH were drinking and she went willingly to his room as she requested.
Days later she realized it was casual, he was not her boyfriend, and went to someone & declared she was raped.
The texts did not matter for the boy. Expelled. Had to register as a sex offender. I hope he sued and appealed but don't know.

Calc I is like that. If you understand an Exponent ? You've got Calc I by the balls.
Calc III is also like that, if you can juggle three variables in your head as far as which ones are the constant and which one is the variable according to the notation.
Calc II is a bitch. Because it's all the Trig Identities. The messy shit you have to memorize. I hated Calc II.
For those that never took Calc ? Did you ever notice that EVERY FUCKING NEWTONIAN THEOREM turns out to be 1/2 X ^ 2 ? That's basic Calc I. Springs. Gravity. All of it.

Both parents were raised in these same failing schools, and they both work, so homework oversight is probably fairly lax. Also, in my son's case, he would fail and they would promote him anyway. The schools don't hold any kid accountable for anything, and when you question them, they spout some horseshit like self esteem.
He ended up at AMYA (the 40 week military program here run by the National Guard) and got his GED. THEY held him accountable for everything. Works like a charm.

Cui bono? is always a good question to ask.
If a low income black student never learns to read, write, or do math, and they are on welfare their entire life, I assume there is roughly a 98-99% chance that they will also vote Democrat their whole life.
The Democrat Party gains political power by NOT educating black children.
If you tell me what system most benefits the people in charge, then I can tell you that the rules will be explicitly designed to ensure THAT system.

For homeschooling parents, they get every dollar that would go to the school system. It should be like that. If the parents waste it, oh well.
But the good ones can take the money and we'd have alternative educational settings develop.

Calc I is like that. If you understand an Exponent ? You've got Calc I by the balls.
Calc III is also like that, if you can juggle three variables in your head as far as which ones are the constant and which one is the variable according to the notation.
Calc II is a bitch. Because it's all the Trig Identities. The messy shit you have to memorize. I hated Calc II.
For those that never took Calc ? Did you ever notice that EVERY FUCKING NEWTONIAN THEOREM turns out to be 1/2 X ^ 2 ? That's basic Calc I. Springs. Gravity. All of it.

trans preverts and their enablers/exploiters like to post material on the internet and wear t-shirts with pictures of knives and guns on them, with threats of murder for not playing their game of Simon Says to their satisfaction. Threats of unemployment, expulsion from school and so on as well. They shriek about the made-up crime of dead-naming, and threaten us with the actual crime of dead. They mutilate children. They kill children.
There are a bunch of these games the Left plays to seize power. The Covid requirements were an example. DEI is another. In each case the narrative is their moral imperative and the urgent immediate need for extreme action. The designers and instigators are sociopaths. They don't care how much damage they do. Their targets (e.g. us), on average, are far more concerned about right and wrong than they'll ever be.
Fake moral issues that crush actual morality. The contradiction, the lie, goes back to the beginning of Marxism, back to the French Revolution.

Calc I is like that. If you understand an Exponent ? You've got Calc I by the balls.
Calc III is also like that, if you can juggle three variables in your head as far as which ones are the constant and which one is the variable according to the notation.
Calc II is a bitch. Because it's all the Trig Identities. The messy shit you have to memorize. I hated Calc II.
For those that never took Calc ? Did you ever notice that EVERY FUCKING NEWTONIAN THEOREM turns out to be 1/2 X ^ 2 ? That's basic Calc I. Springs. Gravity. All of it.

I thought Calc I, Calc II, and Calc III were pretty easy. Advanced Calculus, I guess you might call it Calc IV, gets a little hairy until you understand the delta-epsilon proofs that make up the majority of that class.

Only after Calculus I, II, and III, does one have the opportunity to study Differential Equations in which the beautiful concept of transforms is introduced. I weep for youth who will never know the joy of observing a time domain signal from the perspective of said signal's frequency domain counterpart.

"Racism Did This:" Jason Arday's Uneducated Racist "Students" Learned One Thing From Him -- Just Blame Whites and The World Is Your Oyster
Any standards of qualification, performance, or public behavior have a "disparate impact" on some "communities" and are therefore racist.
The only "fair" and "equitable" standard is none at all. In order to be radically equitable, we must embrace feral savagery and anti-civilization. How about no, Scott? Roger Kimball:Who was to blame? A curious subhead to a story in The Wall Street Journal seems to me to get the question completely wrong. "Jason Arday's academic rise and fall set off a debate about whether he was a plagiarist or victim of a racial witch hunt."Are you, like me, sick of the left pretending that the Woke AF Wall Street Journal is "conservative"?
But that is a false dichotomy. There is no doubt that Arday was a plagiarist. And far from being the victim of "a racial witch hunt," he was the victim of his own lies and intemperate behavior. And let's not forget that his fabulations were directed not only at aggrandizing himself. He was also perfectly happy to play the race card to damage others, as when he complained to the police that journalists who were investigating his credentials were guilty of harassing him. The police duly opened a four-month-long investigation into a journalist who was simply going about his job. Outside of certain mystery novels, where the villain is discovered and then presented with a weapon and a private moment to "do the right thing," suicide cannot help but be a shocking eventuality. One cannot--at least, I cannot--help but feel bad for Arday and his family, which includes his widow, two young children, and his parents. Nevertheless, I cannot exonerate him. Why? A multi-part inventory compiled on X and presented in clipped, asyndetonic style contains the answer. Here are some of the items, presented under the rubric "Be Jason Arday": >claim police traced a severed pig's head at your parents' house to a butcher who'd sold a "whole hog" that morning >have the butcher say no officer ever came in >have the Met call the whole tale "categorically incorrect" >say you're experiencing a modern day lynching on a podcast >have the ASA make your speaking agency strip unbacked claims >hire Carter-Ruck [a law firm] & get Times Higher Education to kill a finished story >report their journalist to Scotland Yard for emailing you questions about your record >have officers tell him to stop, your mental health was hurt >report a retired professor too, have Devon & Cornwall decline to bother >have the Met chief later admit "we dropped the ball on that one" >get cleared by a panel you asked to weigh the "war on critical race theory" >have 188 matching sentences called an honest & reasonable error >do keynote on the playbook conservatives use to hunt black academics b/c beyond reproach >have the Times find participant 11 in study is three different people >have the same quotes come out of different mouths 25 times across three papers >have false funding declarations >have an outside expert say there is no question the plagiarism is extensive >have a Cambridge autism professor send round "URGENT PLEASE SIGN ANTI RACISM LETTER" >get 13,000 names & three Cambridge heads vouching for text they never read >have Cambridge call it a "vile smear campaign" >blame autistic mimicry, a l supervisor who left, & one you never met >call the campaign racially motivated >say "what I am not is a liar" >turn 600 miles of margarine in six days into twelve >have Anglia Ruskin edit your citation page the day the [Nathan] Cofnas piece dropped >get Solent to delete the running claims >have the TEDx video go private >have your Jesus College page quietly turn Professorial Fellow into l Fellow & a Liverpool master's vanish >have academics call for a regulator probe, have the Office for Students decline to comment >have Cambridge open a probe into your qualifications & honorary appointments >have Jesus College open its own >quit both on the spot >put the letter out through the Good Law Project >have the letter promise you'll return stronger & wiser >have the letter come back 100% AI >have Jesus College drop its probe the moment you quit >have the Good Law Project boss keep defending you, chalking it all up to neurodivergence >have the ghostwritten memoir come out in the US anyway, after a 1.4m pre-empt >have the UK edition still set for Aug 27 >have Cambridge order an outside audit of how you were ever hired >have Durham & Glasgow open probes of their own >commit suicide >have people portray you as a victim? Whatever else can be said about the "Jason Arday Affair," he was not the victim. Perhaps you can say he was the casualty, first, of his own mendacity and race-fired megalomania and second, of an educational establishment that, marinated in the anti-white, self-flagellating racial animosities of the moment, colluded in the construction of Arday's fantastical, self-aggrandizing, and ultimately self-destructive fantasies.Kurt Schlichter on the latest race grift:
Fake Professor Jason Arday was found dead in the wake of being exposed as a complete fraud, and if it were my choice, he would still be alive and suffering the humiliation that should be the result of his crimes. I would prefer that he did not likely choose to kill himself instead of facing the consequences of his actions. My preference is irrelevant. If he decided to do himself in, it's crushing for his wife and kids, and that was a selfish, cruel, and stupid decision. But it was his decision, as was his decision to commit fraud upon fraud. I don't celebrate his death, and his death changes nothing. We're not going to stop rooting out the charlatans. Of course, the entirely predictable response of the institutional left to his cowardly and apparent self-deletion has been to insist, loudly and with quivering outrage, that his death is our fault. You see, we normal people pointed out that he lied about his background, his achievements, his credentials, and his work. The fact that we did what a functioning institution should've done itself outraged his boosters, so these moral illiterates now invert the moral calculus to keep the exposure of academic fraud from happening again. Arday lied pathologically and endlessly, enabled by a ridiculously solicitous academia, then likely killed himself when his lies were exposed. Obviously, the villains are the people who did not lie and did not choose to end his life. And you'll never guess their key accusation in a million years. Okay, you guessed it: RACISM!
.... But let's be serious about these condescending leftists. They knew Arday was a phony. They also knew he was useful. His existence supported their narrative, so that irritating objective truth thing could be dispensed with. But he was never their peer; he was their pet. They tried to make Jason Arday into something he wasn't -- an intellectual and a genius -- because he was a good-looking black guy with the kind of lengthy dreads that send a tingle down the legs of childless liberal wine women who spend their endless free time reading Ibram X. Kendi's tomes (that relic of Woke 1.0 is yet another clown whose scamming was too much even for left-wing academia to bear) and doing the work to ameliorate their appalling residual whiteness. ... The new party line is that we're to blame. It's our fault that Arday is dead. You see, if we hadn't told the truth about his many, many lies and exposed them, this never would have happened. And that's probably true, in a sense. He would've gone on being a celebrated icon of the left, though most of the left understood he was a joke and kept their laughter in check for the good of the movement. ...
We're not going to play their game. We're not going to hold fire for fear of feelz. We're not going to ignore the truth lest the liar lash out at himself or others. Sometimes the truth hurts, but the only people the truth hurts are people exposed doing something they shouldn't be doing. The truth is more important than feelings. And the truth is more important than Arday's life. If the choice we are presented with is that Jason Arday will go on living a lie and degrading our civilization by doing so, or that Jason Arday might hurt himself, it's Option 2 every day of the week. We're not going to be held hostage or intimidated or shamed into silence and, therefore, complicity.

@MrAndyNgo 14h Never forget that Arday sicced police and lawyers on people to silence them from reporting out his lies and plagiarism. It took very brave people to continue investigating when others were intimidated into stopping. Arday killed himself once his house of lies finally collapsed under its own weight and he couldn't face the world to say two words: "I'm sorry." From Jussie Smollett to George Floyd, leftists always pick unethical, violent and/or fraudulent people as their heroes.
I’m undercover at the London rally for the deceased DEI academic fraud Jason Arday. Thousands are here to defend DEI and the lies of Arday, who k—lled himself after he was outed by journalists as a fraud.

Yes, but not the way they're saying. Racism gave Arday a position of authority he did not earn and burdened him with responsibilities he could not fulfill. Arday collapsed spectacularly when realists exposed his fraud and the fraud of his employers.

John Carter of Mars' take is that Arday's rise is due to his open forgiving look where most black intellectuals either have a resting bitchface or go peak Black Panther.
Both feel it was as much a fraud as his self reported history, achievements and career.
My take is that Arday was who was selected because he was the only candidate left after the competent people were told to get off the grounds because they were white, straight, or had actual ability.

Sambo encounters four hungry tigers, and he surrenders his colourful new clothes, shoes and umbrella so that they will not eat him.
The tigers are vain and each thinks that it is better dressed than the others. They have a big argument and chase each other around a tree until they are reduced to a pool of ghee (clarified butter).

Nathan Cofnas, the man at the centre of Arday plagiarism row, was dismissed for views on race. I saw his interview with Nathan Cofnas discussing Jason Arday. They appeared to suggest, and I’m paraphrasing, that “nature had righted the wrong” and that people with the “right” degrees and credentials could now become professors again.
"Cofnas was born in Chicago, Illinois, in 1986 or 1987. He was raised Jewish and grew up in Manhattan." That explains a LOT.
FFS, born in Chicago! What the hell is in the water here? We have NIck Fuentes, Tim Pool, Charlie Kirk in the Chicago suburbs… We have to do a better job of shipping these people out to the red states.
Illinois overall is pretty damn racist.
All this for entertainment of the white right, essentially. And for white racists to feel smug that a black person lied about something. When the other side lies as a matter of course and can NEVER be trusted.
It was a witch hunt. White professors who plagiarise or white politicians who steal never get this kind of scrutiny. I hope the media and the UK reflect on this, I doubt it. They will be on to the next victim.

No, you stupid ass, white professors who plagiarize are dismissed without fanfare, because nobody is stomping their boots on pavement about how noble whitey is to have made it this far in academia. Black professors who plagiarize have lots of folks yelling and screaming "racism" instead of looking at the facts of the case.

Arday was kind of the Ultimate Trannie.
He pretended to be something he clearly was not, a Cambridge Elite Intellectual, but-
used the bullying and never-ending malice of the Left to force compliance with his pitiful mummery and silly frolic among the academics.
If only he'd claimed to be a woman, that would've been the Grand Slam of Fake Achievement. Sad.

Nonsensical, you say? When was England ever a colony?
But that's not it!!
Education is based on (superior) western thought and precepts and should not be. The global south has something to offer that should be included in western efucation. Just because.
What? Collectivism
The it takes a villiage shibboleth.
So marxism, oh no, that's western. We mean community.
But the catholics, jews, quakers, et al have been preaching community and family for 5 thousand years?

It is really stunning -- he seems to understand that he advanced his whole life thanks to DEI, and only recently started to think that every black person he met in a high position was probably incompetent. So it only took him his whole life till now to understand the problem with affirmative action -- it tars all minorities as unqualified even if they are qualified.

What is in the water is that you can see on the streets even a generation and a half ago that Chicago is one of the least American in modes of though parts of the US. Politics was corrupt and winked at, looting the state and city was normal. Anyone who still has American values who lives there thinks of it as a foreign land.

The silly leftist I check with on Facebook to see the latest idiocies is likewise white as snow but he married a black woman (likewise an idiot, I knew them in college) so he thinks he is the epitome of the righteous man. Nauseating. He bragged that when he worked with Boy Scouts he convinced an old Scout leader to be "more accepting of gays." He also spouts the No Kings crap, and he is all in on "fighting the power with truth."
He is so upset that conservatives are such H8Rs, he can't see the hate he spews daily.

The Independent, 'Jason Arday’s family statement in full after former Cambridge professor found dead
The family said they are ’in shock to have lost this amazing father, partner, brother, uncle and son’ Summer Woolley,
Saturday 15 August 2026
In part, “Jason was subjected to a campaign of sustained abuse for more than three years since he accepted the role of professor at Cambridge University by those who would leave no stone unturned in their quest to undermine him.
“The campaign of misinformation was too much for Jason, who was a gentle man and who always wanted to see the best in everyone. We are in shock to have lost this amazing father, partner, brother, uncle and son."
“We won’t comment further at this point beyond asking the press to leave us alone now, and to stop the campaign of harassment which has been waged against Jason and his family for too long.”
---
Dr. Arday & wife married in 2014 & split in 2019. They had 2 children & remained close.
hbcustorian,
The life and death of Professor Jason Arday should drive home the point anew: nothing about respectability or exceptionality can save Black people from white supremacy.

Well, I let's face it. He was a decepticon basically. I 'm not sure how old his wife's kids are, but frankly, he wasn't going to be a good long term influence on them. Its painful now, but long term, the guy was a walking time bomb of lies, probably suffering from wildly powerful guilt and panic attacks. He wasn't going to get better surrounded by enabling leftists. He was going to get more twisted and unstable over time. Wasn't going to be a happy childhood, nor even a stable one.

My mom named our dog Sambo, because he was mostly black and she liked the way it sounded. Then the neighbors told her they found that rather racist, so she called him Sam.
Of course, literature has always been racist......

The beginning was much earlier. He plagiarized his Ph.D. thesis from Liverpool John Moores University, which should have thwarted his academic career right there.
And that's merely what we know because his thesis is on record -- he had probably been plagiarizing and slacking through all his undergrad and graduate studies.
I think this was a solid 20+ years of promoting a complete phony.

well, these are demonrats, who fought a war to keep their slaves, then effed over the freedmen for a century until finally lbj drove all the nails into their coffin in the name of a permanent voting bloc ... so that's a pretty high bar. I say that attitude towards black people is kinda par for the demonrat course, rly.

Gay Socialism Terrorist Abdulrahman El-Sayed's Sister Spat In the Face of a Police Officer at an anti-ICE "Rally"
Trump often says he wants an immigration system that permits skilled workers into the country, and people who "love" us.
That always hit me as a little, I don't know, soft. Do I care if immigrants "love" us or not? Well I'll tell you what, I care now. Trump is and was right: It should matter to us if immigrants are coming into this country to bring the chaos, corruption, and endless civil wars of their home shithole countries to our Main Streets, or if they're really coming to join our civilization as supporters and actual, real "cultural enrichers." The left has created an ideology called Third Worldism. Third Worldism teaches all people in poor countries to hate white westerners and blame them for all of their poverty and stagnation. The way out of poverty and stagnation is not, as you might think, to adopt the proveably pro-growth and pro-stability doctrines of the west, but instead to just inflict on the west all of the ills and mayhem of the Third World. They believe that if they can just destroy the west, the Third World will thrive. I guess the theory is something like, "The West is all tall trees that catch the sunlight before it reaches the bushes on the ground. If we just tear down and burn all the tall trees, we'll all grow as high as they once were." It's absurd. But note it is just the companion doctrine of anti-white, anti-American racial socialism in this country, which also advocates for not changing anything about failing "communities" except to destroy the "oppressors" supposedly keeping them down. We cannot allow any more immigration while this pernicious, anti-American hatred is held as the highest value in the Third World and promoted by our own anti-American, left-wing, taxpayer-funded NGOs. Here's the thing: I don't want my society destroyed and razed to the ground so that some foreign malcontents have the chance to rebuild it along their preferred lines, and then rule over me. Call me a racist. I no longer care. I will not be ruled to show I'm not "racist." I'm sure you already agree with this, but if you need more evidence:NizNellie3
@NizNellie3 🚨 I've been warning about this "professor" for years. If you think Abdul El-Sayed isn't in agreement with his terror-supporting sister, you're blind. Radicalism runs in the family. Professor Eman Abdelhadi teaches at the University of Chicago. On the morning of the October 7 attacks, she celebrated online by tweeting, "Good morning, freedom." After the massacres, she called for violent student uprisings on the streets of America. "Let Palestine break this country wide open. Long live the student intifada." In October of 2025, she attended a protest at the Broadview ICE Detention Center outside of Chicago. She was arrested for violence and spit on a police officer. She's currently charged with two counts of aggravated battery, along with two misdemeanor counts of resisting arrest. Her social media is flooded with antisemitic garbage and anti-American propaganda. She's still employed. Our Dept of Education is about to shove over half a billion into the hands of her university. It goes without saying: this should be all hands on deck from the White House and our intelligence community.

"We don't have power... but I work at one of the biggest employers in Chicago... a place with thousands of people I could potentially organize... This is where I need to build power." She openly says it's "brutal" organizing academics. But despite her disdain, Abdelhadi sees the university as a tactical weapon--to build a Palestine-aligned political base from within. This is from Socialism 2025 and is the Revolutionary Accompaniment: Holding Each Other When Things Fall Apart Professor Eman Abdelhadi says she brings intense emotional distress into her academic life--and believes modeling that grief is part of her political responsibility. "I have cried so many times on campus in ways like as a, you know, young brown, queer woman... and then like the genocide started and people are like how are you? I'm like--" "I cried during every rally speech I gave on campus... and how dare you expect these students to be OK? Like why? Why would I be OK?" "It would be sick if I was able to put on this performance for you that I'm fine." She frames public emotional unraveling not as something to manage, but as a necessary political act: "As a Palestinian there is a political tool to that... I think being incredibly sad is important." And she's open about canceling work or redirecting student meetings around her emotional state: "We're not meeting today because I'm actually too upset to meet." "After our encampment was raided... my students were main organizers... So we don't do this weird inhuman thing where we pretend you didn't just get a tent ripped out from under you by the police. Let's talk about that first." This isn't support. It's not pedagogy. It's ideology via emotional exhibition--politicized despair as a teaching method. You decide if that belongs in a university classroom. Stu Smith

You decide if that belongs in a university classroom. "I'm more Muslim than I've ever been... still not Muslim enough to stop drinking, so that's kind of an interesting thing." Abdelhadi uses her evolving relationship to Islam as a framework for political resilience and emotional coping: "All I have to do is do my best... The outcomes are not up to me." "We're responsible for the work, not its products." This may resonate in activist spaces. But in a professional setting--especially as a professor--it raises questions: Is this theology or politics? Is this introspection or performance? And is this what students are signing up for? Abdelhadi blends personal identity, spiritual belief, and political messaging into the classroom. But the line between reflection and ideology is increasingly blurred.

"Abdulrahman El-Sayed"
Why do they have different last names? She's a clam-digger so I don't think she's married.
And I looked her up. She's a "professor" in the same way that Jason Arday was: just a cheap racial grifter and agitator dressed up in fake bullshit to seem academic.
I'll guarantee there's rank plagiarism in her papers too. INVESTIGATE.

I think it was GatewayPundit that had a Dem meeting with trannies turn into a shouting match.
Someone needs to set up a public meeting with El-Sayed with the "Michigan Jewish Trannies for Abdul." Serve a lot of booze or hash. That'd be funny.

And the left won't care, because all that matters is ideology. They don't care if you're a hypocrite. In fact, it may be resume enhancing.
When it came out Gore's mansion was using as much electricity as a small town a lot of people on the right tried to make hay out of it.
I saw a consistent response from the left: Gore is a rich famous guy, you can't expect him to live by the same rules as the rest of us. Now this is an odd response because the left claims overuse of fossil fuels will kill us all.
I think I get what is going on here though. Another argument the left makes is that people on the right only support right wing economics because they believe some day they will personally be rich.
Now if you take that back, because everything with the left is projection, the left wants an aristocracy where the rules don't apply to the elites because every leftwing redditor thinks he will be one of the commissars when the revolution comes.

Abdelhadi is the author of the “funky, commie, queer novel” Everything for Everyone: An Oral History of the New York Commune alongside her “bestie,” coauthor M.E. O’Brien, a “trans communist” who wrote the 2023 book Family Abolition: Capitalism and the Communizing of Care.
The novel is a fictionalized “oral history” of “sex workers, antifascist militants, and survivors of all stripes” who band together to create a “radically new social order forged in the ashes of capitalist collapse.” It depicts a “communized” New York in which police are abolished and the nuclear family is replaced by “caretaking relationships within the commune.” It also depicts a Middle East in which Israel is destroyed by a “Final Intifada.”

I think Christianity helped the West get past this. Maybe not, but The West and Japan are the only places where it does not predominate. Maybe China was OK before the commies took over as I think Confucianism is not so zero-sum.

I'm saying that we imported a lot of the middle eastern Christians back in the 70s when we wanted people who will actually contribute to this country. They have built very good lives here. You won't find too many left in the middle east because the musselmen have been oppressing them. (With exception of the Copts.

The theory is zero-sum mentality. It is a disease that affect most of the world. It is childish, and is the dominant emotion in communism, leftism, socialism, democratism, and third world ism.
I think Christianity helped the West get past this. Maybe not, but The West and Japan are the only places where it does not predominate. Maybe China was OK before the commies took over as I think Confucianism is not so zero-sum.

Mencius(the Second Sage after Confucius) was a big advocate of something approximating capitalism, and low government intervention and low tax burdens. The arguments he makes are not zero sum, in that a prosperous people will naturally lead to a state with an abundance of resources.

Eman has two cats and lives with her platonic life partner. Eman wants historians in a hundred years to know that in this time, queer people are extending something that even straight people benefit from. Straight Muslims are seeking queer spaces out because they align more with their values on gender equity and expansiveness of practice. That queerness not only opens up freedoms for queer individuals, but a collective freedom. Queer Muslims are opening up the interpretive space for all Muslims. Islam stopped being a living tradition and became stuck due to colonialism, and issues of gender and sexuality are forcing it to be a living tradition again.

Was reading a forum in a nearby town in which some leftist was crowing about the success of "traffic calming"
In the middle of endless numbers of people in the city pointing out all traffic calming did was make traffic worse, the leftist popped in to say "well I'm willing to pay for fewer accidents with slower traffic"
And the comical part is someone else went and grabbed the city's official stats on car accidents and...they are up since traffic calming.
And I'll give my own story in this regard. I used to have to commute through a rich leftist town on a major artery. The town had kept the state from making it a full highway (I actually spoke with their state rep) and there were all sorts of articles about how they had "saved greenspace" in their town by denying the highway.
Then Waze came and I and thousands of others were on the their side roads. And now that was the problem. Well asshats you deserved it. I smiled at them trying to cross the road and being unable to because of the bumper to bumper traffic on their roads, always made the traffic feel a little less bad.

The world, or rather Europe, is mostly agrarian in 1500 and mildly less so in 1800.
Food production technology, the steam engine, and the vast farmlands of the US allow for industrialization and ensuing technological development. Food was the primary bottleneck consuming most labor. There were other bottlenecks relieved by the age of discovery, like the currency shortage (Great Bullion famine) but food being solved has been huge.
The Protestant theory was made by Weber, it doesn't appear to actually track across nationalities nor was it broadly the case for Protestant regions/countries while ignoring previous Catholic mercantile states like the Italian city-states.

Simplistic. The root causes were more economic and related to the changing politico economic structure where cities became more important than landed aristocracy. And part of that related to income flowing to Rome and away from the periphery and that in turn made Italian lenders of this largesse important.
Martin Luther and indulgence sales gave a way for princes to buck the Holy Roman emperor and for Henry 8th, to seize the vast sums of money and land from the convents and monasteries because the Pope would not insult Spain's king by allowing an annulment. The idea of a united Christendom had already been shattered by the Orthodox-Roman Catholic split several centuries prior.
Religious history intertwined with politco-economic history is one of those unpleasant subjects where only the atheist can truly be said to put a pox on all of the parties.
Otherwise, it becomes a matter of modern perspective, prior biases related to faith, and the unpleasant realization that often those proclaimed most holy did evil acts for reasons of power, money, and glory.

Abdul El-Sayed is actually from his mother's first marriage.
His mother, Fatten Elkomy, married Mohamed El-Sayed in Egypt, and they immigrated to Michigan together so he could pursue a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering at Wayne State University. Abdul El-Sayed was born in Detroit, Michigan, in 1984. His parents divorced in 1988 when he was a toddler.
Following the split, Abdul's father remarried, and Abdul was primarily raised by his father, a professor, and his American stepmother, Jacqueline, in the Detroit suburbs.
Following the divorce from Mohamed El-Sayed, Fatten Elkomy, Adul's mother relocated to Missouri, worked as a psychiatric nurse practitioner & remarried in 1988.
Her second husband was Tawfik Abdelhadi, a Palestinian immigrant. Their first daughter (Professor) was Eman Abdelhadi was born in 1989, followed by additional daughters.
The family temporarily relocated to the Middle East where Tawfik Abdelhadi later passed away in the late 1990s. When Eman Abdelhadi was about 9 yrs. old, their mother relocated all of her daughters back to the United States.

- It stresses forgiveness and redemption
- Goodness is independent of status
- Reward, and punishment, is reserved for a higher power.
- that whole "love they neighbor" thing
But most important, is focuses the soul on accepting that life is unfair and we all must bear our burden. Christ sets this example.
I am not a well educated Christian, so maybe I am talking crap up above, but I think the only righteous path taught by Christianity is the one that leads away from zero-sum. I think this is as important as forbidding cousin marriage in advancing the West. This is not limited to Protestantism or Catholicism, although the Ps may have a better grasp on implementation. (since they bother to read and study the bible.) It is the core of the religion and, I think, unique.

Once wars start, however they start, bad shit will happen. Same as blaming Cromwell for what he did in Ireland. Supporting the Stuarts became conflated with supporting Catholicism in Ireland so when cities did not surrender, they got sacked.
The German princes in the Holy Roman Empire in a divided Germany got tired of their wealth being sent to Rome and being tasked to support the Holy Roman emperor under penalty of excommunication in the Hapsburg wars. Henry turned on the Pope considering pleasing the Spanish King more important than an heir for England which pissed him off. From such small insults, the events of the world occur.
Like a certain Al Smith dinner where Obama and co insulted Trump.

Not trying to be a wiseass here: I'm a Protestant that married a Catholic. It's always seemed to me based on my personal experience that the Catholics spend a lot less time reading/studying/talking about the Bible than what I was used to from the Protestants in my youth. But hey maybe that's just my wife's family? We go to Catholic Church but I really never hear of anyone talking about Bible study or anything like that and it was ubiquitous in the Protestant churches I grew up in.

Bible study is grade 6 through 8 in most CCD programs. There are likewise several Bible study programs for adults within the Church, like Little Rock and some other fairly good ones. The Dominicans in Anchorage run several programs throughout the year.
However, Protestants walked away from Tradition, so the Bible is all they have. Not the same as Catholics. We also study things like Canon Law, the various hundreds of years of Papal decrees, Bulls, and doctrinal statements, the Sacraments, etc.
All of these things are directly Biblical in nature, so we go into some depth about topics Protestants don't consider.
It is an old canard about Catholics never reading the Bible. We do, and many of us are somewhat fluent.

Its not that hard to get. A base idea of Protestantism was to devolve the religion back to the Bible roots - and in the native language to boot in many cases to get rid of the Catholic hierarchy of bishops and Cardinals and such. The Catholics still have those thousands of years of writers and thinkers - Augustine, Aquinas, etc. to work with and use. At least at first a lot of that would have been tainted with 'Popery'

New Catholic since March. My husband was Catholic who converted to Presbyterian after we married. Full circle we are now both Catholic. He had it easier than me as I was required to take classes.
I love our traditional church, the Mass and we have a priest who educates based on the Bible each Sunday. The music is traditional with a few singers, piano and violin. I love it as music is part of worship for me.
I liked the church we joined here when we moved. Presbyterian PCA and conservative. Nice pastor. However, I can't stand praise music with drums and guitars. My personal choice is traditional.The super casual atmosphere of people getting up for coffee and wearing whatever put me off as well. I prayed about this distraction but it still happened.
We are all different but believe in the same God. I found home and love it!

Leftwing Obama Judge Who Has Repatedly Ignored the Supreme Court to Block the Deportation of Somalis Relents, Allows Deportations
She repeatedly refuses to respect the Supreme Court ruling -- ruling, not advisement -- that lowly district court judges cannot overrule the Administration's findings on immigration, except on legitimate constitutional grounds. (That is, the claim that an Administration order actually violates the Constitution.)
She just keeps saying "I don't care, I do what I want." In one cute maneuver, the Administration appealed her lawless ruling to the Supreme Court, where she would definitely be checked and rebuked. So she withdrew that ruling. Then she quickly issued the same ruling, forcing Trump to go through the appeals process a second, redundant, dilatory (deliberately time-wasting) time.A Massachusetts federal judge has once again blocked the Trump administration from ending temporary protected status (TPS) for Somalia, issuing a new administrative stay after plaintiffs rewrote their lawsuit around constitutional claims just days after a federal appeals court threw out similar stays terminating TPS for Ethiopia and South Sudan. U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs, appointed by former President Barack Obama, issued the administrative stay Friday after African Communities Together and other plaintiffs filed an amended complaint alleging the Trump administration violated the Fifth Amendment by terminating Somalia's TPS designation based on racial and national-origin discrimination. The plaintiffs filed an amended complaint and emergency motion on Thursday in a renewed bid to keep Somalia's TPS protections alive after the Supreme Court's June ruling in Mullin v. Doe sharply limited lower courts' ability to block TPS terminations. Burroughs' latest order has intensified growing criticism over whether district judges are using administrative stays to work around higher court rulings. It comes just days after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit reversed similar administrative stays issued by U.S. District Judges Brian Murphy and Patti Saris, who had temporarily delayed the Trump administration's TPS terminations for Ethiopia and South Sudan. The 1st Circuit based its rulings on the Supreme Court's Mullin decision, which ruled lower courts generally cannot block TPS terminations based on non-constitutional claims. The latest order drew an immediate rebuke from DHS General Counsel James Percival, who accused Burroughs of continuing a pattern of judicial obstruction. "Judge Allison Burroughs just entered yet another order preventing the termination of Somalia TPS. There is no serious debate about what is going on in these cases -- defiance, obstruction, and delay," Percival wrote on X. Iowa Solicitor General Eric Wessan argued Burroughs' order improperly grants emergency relief despite what he described as legally deficient claims. "I looked at the amended complaint in the Somalia TPS case," Wessan wrote on X. "The district judge has entered a novel 'administrative stay' to sort out the claims. She has declared the TPS termination 'void' for now, while deciding whether any of the claims can justify a more permanent pause." Wessan argued that the order "turns the law upside down," writing that four of the lawsuit's five claims are foreclosed by the Supreme Court's decision in Mullin and describing the remaining claim as "frivolous." "Even if this was a fresh lawsuit without the baggage, the claims cannot justify any relief -- much less meet the high bar for interim relief," Wessan wrote. "This is very bad. I hope that, with time to review, Judge Burroughs vacates her administrative stay to allow the correct status quo to continue."Republicans are discussing impeaching this lawless woke criminal.
Trump scores major immigration victory as judge clears way to end TPS protections for thousands of SomalisJonathan Turley says Friday was a "great day" for Trump. It was a great day for all Americans, dude.
The ruling could expose thousands to deportation after the Supreme Court limited judicial review of TPS decisions By Michael Sinkewicz Fox News
President Donald Trump scored a major legal victory Friday after a federal judge cleared the way for his administration to terminate temporary legal protections for thousands of Somali nationals living in the United States. U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs in Boston lifted a stay that had prevented the Department of Homeland Security from terminating Somalia's Temporary Protected Status (TPS) designation, citing a June Supreme Court ruling that sharply limited judicial review of similar administration actions. The decision allows the Trump administration to move forward with ending TPS for Somalia, potentially exposing affected migrants who lack another lawful basis to remain in the U.S. to deportation. Burroughs, an appointee of former President Barack Obama, had previously blocked the termination from taking effect in a lawsuit brought by four Somali nationals and two advocacy groups, including African Communities Together. ... The Supreme Court ruled in June in Mullin v. Doe that the TPS statute bars judicial review of certain non-constitutional decisions by the administration to terminate TPS designations. The court also found that the plaintiffs' equal protection challenge in that case was unlikely to succeed. The ruling curtailed lower courts' ability to review Trump administration efforts to terminate TPS designations for nationals of multiple countries. Plaintiffs challenging the termination of Somalia's designation argued that the administration's decision was motivated by bias against non-White immigrants, pointing to Trump's previous descriptions of Somalis as "garbage" and "low IQ people." Following the Supreme Court's ruling, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint raising new constitutional claims and sought emergency relief in another effort to prevent Somalia's TPS protections from ending. Burroughs issued an administrative stay earlier this month after African Communities Together and other plaintiffs alleged that the administration violated the Fifth Amendment by terminating Somalia's TPS designation based on racial and national-origin discrimination. In Friday's ruling, Burroughs said the plaintiffs had presented a compelling case but concluded that the Supreme Court's decision constrained her ability to continue blocking the administration's action. Burroughs wrote that she was "bound ... to view things through the Mullin prism," referring to the Supreme Court case. "Plaintiffs have made a convincing showing that they will suffer irreparable harm if the injunction is withheld ... and the balance of hardships and the public interest also favor Plaintiffs, given that the government has made no showing that maintaining TPS status for the duration of this litigation would impose an undue burden," she wrote. ...
Sources at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services previously told Fox News Digital that 2,471 Somali nationals in the U.S. currently have TPS, while another 1,383 have pending TPS applications.
Unfortunately, most Somalis have been granted citizenship by now.

Ummm .. the entire TPS program is fucking based on nothing more than race and national origin.
That's the entire point of the program: People of Race X from Country Y get certain "temporary" status protections that are not available to Race Z in Country AA.
Discrimination on the basis of race and nation origin is the entire reason the program exists.

The Progtards love to force a false recognition upon you in the face of reality, whether it's a guy who's intellectually unqualified to be a professor or some insane guy sexually unqualified to be a woman.

She tossed lawsuits by GOP politicians claiming voter fraud
She issued a TRO blocking the Homeland Security's revocation of Harvard's use of the Student and Exchange Visitor Program, which facilitates enrollment of international students
Burroughs ruled that the Trump administration had acted unconstitutionally and failed to follow due process when it froze more than $2.6 billion in research funding awarded to Harvard.
Burroughs ruled that the Trump administration's termination of the CBP One app was unlawful and called for the reinstatement of parole for hundreds of thousands of migrants who applied through the app.

More: Oh? (Advances on Roper) And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned 'round on you, where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country is planted thick with laws, from coast to coast, Man's laws, not God's, and if you cut them down—and you're just the man to do it—d'you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? Yes, I'd give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety's sake

Korean restaurants serving dog are already closing or changing their menus.
Summer is dog-eating season for some reason so the older Koreans are flocking to the dog restaurants because the law kicks in after summer is over.

Pirates, civil war, key area for world logistics, and Somalia is right in there for all of it. Also a watching post on Yemen and the Al Queda cells embedded in there back in the Bammy Admin.
GHWB and Clinton were the ones that allowed Somalians to leave in bulk to Minnesota and Maine and they did so for a reason. To turn the states from purple to blue.

Yeah, I know. Co-authored a law review article on appointments back in the day. It is a corruption of the old senatorial courtesy norm that became a rule when the Southern Democrats wanted to refuse to integrate their states. So they demanded and got a veto on judges in their own home states because if the integration lawsuits were dismissed in district court, much harder to get appeals through to Scotus. And at that time, the 11th circuit did not exist so the 5th Circuit incorporated those states as well, Georgia, Florida, and Alabama. The 4th Circuit was also stacked with anti integrationist Democrat judges.

I went into academia at an older age after a prior career including military service and went the technocratic route. In those days, you could do okay if you never have difficult political discussions with your supervisors as they were not the closed minded leftist assholes that they are today.

It is more like being a made guy in the Mafia. There are certain lines not to be crossed but being made and from a CIA asset family means you get networking benefits to put you into place as a member to play ball with the IC. For obvious reasons, they prefer assholes that are criminal, amoral, and corrupt as kompromat to being made. Omar marrying her brother for immigration fraud is exactly the sort they want because in the crunch, the intel community owns her skinny ass. They made her and can break her. Same with Swallwell, Feinstein, Schiff, etc. And some on the GOP side as well.
So assets do the bidding and give information/favors upon request to their handler who is often quasi bullshit in some 'security' firm that has 'retired'. In reality, those types never retire and that is throughout the whole of the Kennedy assassination files---old 'chums' being tasked and paid to do shit.

Ten families are suing Palo Alto Unified after their kids got sent on a “field trip” to a mosque. Girls were told to wear hijabs. Every student got handed a Quran to take home. Photos taken inside without parental consent.
This wasn’t some optional cultural visit. It was baked into the school’s “Social Justice Pathway” program, where kids were literally taught that Islam “promotes social justice” more than other faiths.
CAIR’s response? Called the lawsuit “misguided” and said it was all voluntary. Handing a teenager a religious text and putting a hijab on a teenage girl during school hours isn’t voluntary, it’s institutional pressure with extra steps.
Public schools are supposed to be religiously neutral. This wasn’t neutral. This was indoctrination dressed up as “education.”

If you read Colby's own autobiography, you have him reporting what he did for the anti-communist op in post war Italy. And it included financing all sorts including socialists attacking the pro American government in order to prevent the Soviets from doing the same thing with them.
The whole collapse of the Soviets left the intel agencies in the West desperate for relevance and they turned inward to op their own native people to maintain relevance and likely stirred up shit abroad just to create demand for their services on counter terrorism and other crap.

Orwell, was very skeptical about socialism, more and more so toward the end.
Toward the end he expressed that he had some doubts whether any kind of socialism would work at all. He held out a remote wish/hope for a low-powered communal pool type of socialism. But, he said that if that didn't work, he guesses they would have to scrap socialism altogether.

Nope. But seminaries have rolled over and turned left even in evangelical organizations. It is just harder for the Democrat leftists to get positions in decentralized evangelical churches--they can infect this or that church with heresy but those churches die pretty quickly as they don't have the reserves from a captured hierarchy like those with formal ownership and leadership levels above the local churches.
The usual infiltration tactics are less successful with decentralization than they are with a hierarchical setup. Plus most evangelical churches like Baptists vote as a congregation on leadership and fruitloops get expelled pretty quickly for preaching non sense.

Orwell might not have been on your side, but he was reasonable. He was not an ideologue.
What gave him his sort of out is that nobody was really interested in trying out his non-coercive socialism because it didn't have the power so many other ideologues wanted. So, he couldn't really see it in action to abandon the idea.
I don't think he would at all defend a lot of the everyday coercion of the EU and Britain, or Canada's "Have you thought about suicide?" approach to health care.

USAID was always a CIA dominated organization as it allowed NOCs embedded to go into countries without having to formally be part of the embassy staff. The analytical part of the CIA came from the older State Department intel agency (Bureau of Intelligence and Research) because before WWII with the US became enmeshed in global security, it dealt with global commerce and trade.
This State Department bureau, expanded vastly in the runup to WWII, became the nucleus for the post war diplomatic embassy based spying apparatus which it fed home based CIA analysts. They glommed on the OSS on top of this mess for operational capability and for plausible deniability for paramilitary actions.

Straight Shooters and Great Americans: Hugh Hefner Informed The FBI That a Playboy Playmate Had Been Sex-Trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein But They "Back-Burnered" The Tip and Did Nothing for 15 Years
What exactly would you say you do here?
Playboy founder and publisher Hugh Hefner reportedly informed the FBI several times in 2005 that a Playboy Playmate had been sexually trafficked and abused by the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein and others, but the FBI didn't investigate the claim for 15 years, according to court documents. The Playboy Playmate was Audra Christiansen, who says that Hefner made multiple reports to the FBI, but that the agency didn't follow up at the time, according to former FBI special agent Jennifer Coffindaffer. "To wait 15 years to conduct this interview and to actually get down to the nitty gritty ... that is just too long to wait," Coffindaffer told "NewsNation Prime" on Saturday. "Somehow, this got back-burnered, and it should have never happened that it would take so long for this investigation to follow through." ... Christiansen's story suggests that if the FBI had acted on Hefner's calls, Epstein could have been held to account for his actions long before he was arrested and held awaiting trial. Epstein pleaded guilty in 2008 to solicitation in Florida for which he received a very lenient and highly criticized work-release jail sentence.The FBI agent says the cover-up and political weaponization agency might have been "swamped" at the time, doing 9/11 investigations. Still swamped in 2005?

My favorite was some academic who wanted Epstein to come to his conference and offered up he had good looking graduate students who would take good care of Jeffrey if he came...

I rate this newest revelation as having the same probability of truth as every other one of these dubious "I was sexually abused 20 years ago, but didn't say a word about it until now" stories. That is: very low.
Even if the story is true, it's a big "so what" to me. So an adult semi-porn star living as a semi-whore at the Playboy Mansion was getting fucked by a lot of rich powerful guys. Gee, I'm very shocked at that.
There's real sex trafficking going on, and it ain't at Playboy Mansions with girls voluntarily there for the sole purpose of being sexual playthings.
The real sex trafficking is being done to innocent girls by brutal Latin American gangs and cartels. But going after the cartels could get your head shot off. So everyone would rather talk about a harmless dead rich guy.

FBI uses a system of scientific management -- they "incentivize" certain types of investigations. So management sets priorities, and the agents are rewarded only for investigating that type of crime. After 9/11, even if you were in a unit dedicated to investigating counterfeit CD imported from China, you made it all about "terrorism."
This is important to understand because Obama came in and used this mechanism to turn the entire agency against "white nationalism" and later, Trump.
Biden did the same, but more woke.
Crime which fits the proper category is often scarce, so agents dutifully create it as needed so they can investigate.
The only other real incentives they have is anything that justifies spending large on the expense account, or even better, getting to set up and oversee a field office. Both are very lucrative.

There was an episode of the Whatever podcast I saw where he had yacht girls on. They mentioned that no one forced them to have sex but if you said no you weren't invited back. The girls agreed that wasn't fair and there shouldn't be a requirement to have sex with the yacht owner.
The host asked the girls what they thought the yacht owner would get out of the experience of taking them on an expensive vacation if not sex and the amusing part is the girls were all surprised by this question as if they'd never thought of it before.

Parents of a local teenager filed a report with Palm Beach Police regarding inappropriate sexual contact by Epstein.
Detectives discovered a network where multiple underage girls were recruited and paid cash for sexual encounters.
The 2005 police work stayed local at first, preceding the broader federal involvement and subsequent 2007 non-prosecution agreement led by federal prosecutors in Florida. It was a highly controversial deal orchestrated by then-U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta.
Epstein served 13 months in a Palm Beach County jail & was then granted liberal "work release."

Leaving it in the hands of the executive is nice, until a muslim commie like Obama is elected, or a retard puppet like Biden. 4 years of either and they put their people in place and then it is hard to correct.

Anyone who has followed the Karen Read trial knows that Jennifer Coffindaffer isn't just a trash human being and was a failure at the FBI, but that she is an incredibly self- serving piece of trash as well.
It wouldn't be out of her wheelhouse to claim the FBI sat on the reports from Hef when they were literally on *her* desk to investigate as a way to cover up her own culpability.
Tread lightly when using her as sourcing.

I imagine a fair amount of this is facilitated by the US Government.
Many trafficked children that were brought to the southern border by "agents" their parents either paid, or owed money to, were then passed off to federal agencies like HHS.
ICE (along with other Feds) are slowly tracking them down. There's estimated to be a quarter million children who were originally trafficked under *biden's watch.
I think the story's less about the Playmate and more about the useless FBI.

Then someone will post a picture of Maxwell at the Chelsea Clinton wedding as an invited guest and the argument becomes "of course rich powerful people associate with rich powerful people"
Note Chelsea got married in 2010, so after Epstein was convicted of being a pedo, but before 2012 when Maxwell got her one personal grift...so the only reason to invite Maxwell was because you wanted to keep Epstein in your circle...

Exactly. But nobody wants to confront the real problem, because the real problem might dump your body in a river. They barely were able to show that movie about real sex trafficking.
So instead we jabber endlessly about what happened decades ago to gold-digging yacht girls and playboy playmates and half-whores.
Meanwhile, young girls are being unwillingly brutalized and abused by cartels, and nobody even wants to talk about it, let alone do anything about it.

Coffindaffer was a regular on CourtTV during the warmup, both trials, and the intermission period. She became a laughingstock for her absolute lack of knowledge on the case, its players, and her desperate attempt to make herself a factor in the reporting. She targeted Turtleboy hard, right up there with the former disgraced ADA Wendy Murphy.

I represented Playboy back in the day. Not joking. It was mostly assessing litigation risk for acquisitions, so not sexy work, but a cool client for a 20-something guy to have.
My main contact at the company was a lady who's name I can't quite remember -- Alexandra, or something like that -- who was an aging smokeshow. I always assumed, but of course never asked, that she got her start at the company as a model or playmate.
I did litigation risk for a XXX-rated enterprise they were looking at buying. I learned that there were very specific "rules" governing what sex acts and how much could be shown for each "rating." R can show this, NC17 can show that, XXX can show this, etc.

The surname Coffindaffer is an Americanized German name with disputed etymological roots. The most scholarly consensus suggests it derives from the German Koffendaffer or Kaufendaffer, translating to "trunk maker," "chest carpenter," or potentially "buyer/trader from Daff(er)", rather than the English words for coffin and devil.

The driver of a maroon Durango kills three in a hit and run. An ALPR hit flags a Durango. Despite the fact that the tagged Durango is black, has no damage, has not had its airbag deployed, is a partial plate mismatch, and witnesses say that's not the car, they went after the driver.
They took the car for months. She sued to get it back. They arrested her for triple homicide after she sued to get the vehicle back. She sat in jail for 13 days on serious charges.
They put her through seven months of shit because the ALPR system flagged her car and only dropped charges when someone pulled their head out and got the correct driver.

For myself I think its pretty clear Epstein and Maxwell were abusing underage girls. The fact we know they pulled Prince Andrew into it tells me it wasn't just Prince Andrew either. Now underage here I am claiming to be below 18 though age of consent goes lower, I don't want to get into that argument...
Now how big was Epstein's underage sex ring vs supplying yacht girls vs just doling out money for favors? That still isn't clear. The fact most of the women that came forward seem to have been the yacht girl type not underage though makes me believe it was more limited then I had initially thought.

Every person who's been prosecuted for doing something illegal with Epstein has been prosecuted for financial/intelligence crimes. Every woman who's been identified as having been 'exploited' by Epstein was of legal age at the time.
I'm not suggesting that pedo rings don't exist, and I'm not suggesting the Epstein would be unwilling to procure a minor if that's what the deal required. He confessed to being a pedo himself. I'm just saying that all the people who pound their chests about the guy and children have exactly zero evidence that they're correct. Not that it'll prevent them from holding on to that dream.

This is ENTIRELY correct.
A cow orker of mine is simply beautiful. Drop dead, gorgeous. She is also woefully naive. She can't understand why people keep doing nice things for her.
[Name], I said, if I got to move through life the way you get to move through life, a lot of nice things would happen to me, too.
She didn't get it.

True, but the yacht girls have already made the rounds at the local rich-guy parties where much the same thing happens as happens on the yachts. So they know exactly what the game is. They might not like the game, but they know what they're getting into. They bought that ticket.

What's chest pounding about taking into account the fact that he confessed to being a pedo and that we know of one definite case where an underage worker at mar-a-lago complained about him.
More sex abuse victims don't come forward than do. Nevermind when government protection was involved or they were a kid. I would imagine finance crimes are easier to get people on and also if you're gonna confess to something and go to prison it had BETTER be financial and not the other.

I'm sure it was. My neighbors dad had a subscription -- I don't think I ever saw them though -- he was a writer and I guess in that circle it was important because they interviewed a lot of writers and people from the NY literary scene.
I seem to recall the newsstands that sold them had a special outer cover on them as late as the 70s that was plain brown. As a kid I understood that that pile of brown wrapped magazines behind the candy counter was stuff like that.

There used to be, might still be, a train that runs from Shenzhen to Hong Kong on a commuter basis. Last time I was in Hong Kong, about a year before the CCP took control after the Brits surrendered, the Hong Kong authorities started limiting the number of Chinese that could go to Hong Kong because they would buy up all the TP, baby diapers and other staples that weren't available in China.

Yes and no. Half of why Democrats are still bringing up Epstein is the idea that he's a Mossad agent sent to get your children, and that was his entire reason for being. The more nuanced version makes it somewhat less of a moral crusade.

The biggest evidence I have that there was definitely a ring was the media and Democrats claimed for decades there wasn't. And even with all the Trump bs stuff, the media *still* seems to be on the side of "nothing happened".

Hong Kong was the absolute best liberty port in Westpac for a married guy. You could buy anything you wanted there and all of it was duty/tax free. They had some of the worlds best tailors there as well. If you wanted a new set of dress whites/blues you walk in get measured and pay them. They would deliver the uniforms to the ship in a day or two or the same day if you were in a hurry and paid a premium.
The China Fleet Club run by the Brits was unreal. Top end china along with real silverware and llardo's at factory prices. Again with free delivery to your ship.
Sadly that is all gone now that china owns the islands.

And in all honesty, when the wife had baby fever many years ago, there were times where I felt like a piece of meat. A meaty sperm delivery device. I got over it. Pretty quickly as a matter of fact. If you dont want to do it, don't do it. But its easier than picking tomatos I guess.

In my experience, that's the position of a significant plurality of the right wing people who still care about Epstein.

The BCCI was a CIA cutout based in Pakistan. It was used to launder money and fund off the books ops including gun running so governments wouldn't have to get their hands dirty in public.
That's what Epstein was all about. Sex trafficking was the least of his sins but the one the media wants everyone to fixate on.

The FBI Had Evidence Eric Swalwell Took Money From Chinese Spy Fang Fang, but -- Get This -- Buried It
Heads, pikes, some assembly required.
Steven Richards and John Solomon for Just the News:FBI had evidence Swalwell got illegal donations from suspected Chinese spy, bombshell memos showIn English, "eventually decided" means "corruptly decided."
The newly declassified investigation files also show that the FBI had initially tried to recruit the infamous Fang Fang as a source that could share information on Chinese influence operations targeting public officials in the United States.
The FBI developed evidence that a Chinese woman with direct ties to that country's intelligence service had potentially compromised a Democratic congressman from California with sex, foreign interns and illicit donations while she was being recruited to become a bureau informant a decade ago, according to bombshell memos that expose another threat to America's political system from Beijing. The files chronicling the relationship between Rep. Eric Swalwell and the Chinese national Fang Fang -- also known by her English name Christine Fang -- were declassified by President Donald Trump and released Monday by the White House Government Transparency Task Force as part of a broader effort to unmask foreign threats to U.S. political and election systems. They show the FBI opened a predicated investigation, which is a formal law enforcement inquiry backed by a factual basis or allegation that indicates a crime or national security threat already exists. Unlike unpredicated "assessments," a predicated investigation allows agents to use advanced and intrusive methods like electronic surveillance or informants. The files provide significant new details about the long-rumored relationship between Fang and Swalwell, including that: * The FBI initially wanted to investigate the congressman for a bribery scheme in which he exchanged donations from Fang for her planting interns in his office, but eventually decided to narrow the case to seek criminal charges only against Fang for making illegal donations to the California Democrat through conduits.
* Swalwell admitted to having sex with Fang, his staff placing Fang's interns in Congress and not having a strong enough campaign finance system to detect the straw donations she allegedly passed through U.S.-citizen conduits. * The Justice Department declined to prosecute Fang despite strong evidence of the illicit donations after she fled the U.S. as the FBI began interviewing her associates and raided her home. The early steps in the investigation were overseen in part by controversial prosecutor Jack Smith, who would later pursue Donald Trump on criminal charges.Holy shit. He's the garbage man they turn to every single time to take care of their trash.
"Rusty Thumbs" was the name of the degenerate sex act that Eric Swalwell liked having performed on him. Hello. Happy New Week! By the way: No crow updates. The crows kind of disappeared. I still hear them clattering but they don't visit, at least not when I'm looking.
* The FBI was recruiting Fang to be a confidential informant through an undercover agent, assigned her the code name Rusty Thumbs, planned to hire her through a cutout company and was still evaluating her suitability as a confidential human source when they discovered her alleged criminal behavior. * The FBI knew early on during the recruitment that Fang was tied to China's Ministry of State Security (MSS), Beijing's notorious intelligence service. The bureau also identified her parents as MSS agents, knew she was raising money for California Democrats and was willing to use sex as a means of getting ahead in the world of U.S. politics.

I’d go for the end of all public sector unions, which I would argue is the heart of this problem. Not that I disagree. But if you are employed by the government, you have no business belonging to a union.

1) Swallwell (and others like him) are not fully aware of what is going on. They are taking the money because it is about the grift and the chinese (or whoever) are obscuring what they want and why they are doing this by slight of hand. This is the generous option.
2) Swallwell (and others like them) are fully aware of what they are doing. That they are taking money from a foreign power and do not care because they want world socialism AND want to be enriched and become the Nomenklatura when the inevitable commie revolution happens.
3) I would imagine all dems are more toward 2 on the sprectrum. GOPe (minus Mitch) are more toward 1.

So the USSS thought the threat against the president was strong enough to surreptitiously remove him from AF1.
And then proceeded to let the plane full of White House staffers and reporters take off and fly back to the US.

Russia doesn't play the "Wokism Game." They put Griner in a FEMALE Penal Colony work camp. So, that suggests she is Female. And, the WNBA is extremely comprehensive in their testing for prohibited drugs. I think it comes down to Griner being an outlier. Extremely tall women have longer bone structure...and that, also, applies to the face. If you are a very tall woman, you are going to have an extended brow. The same hormones that drive significant height during puberty—such as growth hormone, insulin-like growth factors, and androgens—also influence facial bone development.
So, she is IMO a very tall (for a woman) chick, whose hormone developement wasn't just appllcable to torso and limbs. It, also, hit her in the face.

There's only one reason Democrats get away with this and it's because the media covers for them. 100 fucking % of the time. The media has been a 5th column in this country for generations. The takedown of Nixon was the first media coup d'etat I was aware of and it was payback for his takedown of Alger fucking communist Hiss, who was a media darling.

THE MORNING RANT: Amazon’s Unconscionable Counterfeit Problem; Help is on the way thanks to (Trump’s) tariffs on de minimis Chinese imports
Fake supplements have been found to contain everything from harmless fillers like rice or flour to dangerous ingredients, including hidden pharmaceuticals, allergens, and heavy metals. Brands like Now Foods and Fungi Perfecta have discovered multiple counterfeit versions of their supplements sold on Amazon, sometimes by dozens of different storefronts.Even worse, counterfeit items sold by third-party sellers have found their way into the “Sold by Amazon” bins at distribution centers. Verifying that Amazon itself is the seller - not a third-party - still hasn’t been a reliable way to ensure that Amazon isn’t selling you a counterfeit product.
When you order a supplement on Amazon, you might assume it’s coming from the seller you picked. But with co-mingled inventory, Amazon ships the nearest unit in stock—even if it came from a different seller. Even items listed as “sold by Amazon” can be impacted if co-mingled inventory is involved.Amazon recently made another promise to try to stop selling commingled counterfeits in its “Sold by Amazon” channel. Perhaps this time they finally mean it. But nothing about that promise changes the fact that counterfeits sold by third-party sellers are still abundant on Amazon’s website, and listed just as prominently as authentic(?) goods. No one seems to know just how bad the problem of online counterfeiting is, but some recent tests indicate that the problem is extreme:
“Over 65% of Cosmetics Sold on Online Marketplaces Are Fake” [The Times – 7/24/2025]
More than two thirds (67 per cent) of products bought from online marketplaces such as Amazon, eBay, TikTok Shop and Vinted were likely to be imitations of the advertised brands, according to consumer rights company Which.“I Hired a Lab to Counterfeit-Test a Dozen Suspicious Beauty Products I Bought Online; Every Single One Had a Problem” [NY Times 3/02/2026]
Through a combination of lab testing and expert assessment, we concluded that all 12 of the beauty products I’d purchased from third-party sellers on Amazon, eBay, Shein, and Walmart were either not what they claimed to be or questionable for reasons beyond their authenticity. Johnson went farther, explicitly stating that they were all “definitively identified as counterfeits.”Amazon’s success in becoming the dominant online retailer was similar to how Google became the dominant search engine – both were the very best at what they did. Puzzlingly, both companies have decided to sabotage their success by not providing their customers the product they want. Google has degraded its search functionality such that oftentimes will not provide you the link you request and Amazon is prospering by hoodwinking customers into buying counterfeit products. Of course, much of the counterfeit junk being sold on Amazon comes from China. Almost incomprehensibly, this junk has been exempted from duties if the cost was under $800. The good news is that President Trump just won a battle at the U.S. Court of International Trade, and if Amazon wants to keep allowing itself to be a “marketplace” to sell counterfeit goods, those goods are going to be tariffed, making it less cost effective to undercut the genuine products being copied.
"For years, Foreign Shippers could send packages worth up to $800 into our Country, DUTY FREE, NO TARIFF, far less scrutiny. It became a giant loophole for TARIFF Cheats... So, we CLOSED IT." - President Donald J. Trump ���� pic.twitter.com/49ulsRKmNm
— The White House (@WhiteHouse) August 13, 2026
Circling back to the counterfeit product my household just bought on Amazon, my wife read about a product she wanted to try by the name of MoreLess Protein Gummies, so she bought a package online from Amazon. It came in this mailer from China.
My wife then contacted MoreLess and received this response: “Can you tell me where you ordered from? If it was Amazon (especially through a third-party seller rather than our official storefront), there’s a decent chance what showed up isn’t actually ours – counterfeits have been known to pop up there. If that’s the case, I’d steer clear of taking them.” On Amazon, I checked the reviews of the product and seller we inadvertently bought from, and I screen-grabbed it (immediately below). Amazon subsequently removed this seller and these reviews:
This is what the actual product looks like from MoreLess’ own website:
Despite the specific third-party retailer that sold us a counterfeit product being removed, Amazon is still offering several obvious counterfeit versions of this product. Even the product on the right with almost identical packaging is likely a counterfeit, as it ships from “sichuanzhongchuangqifuxinxikejiyou xianongsi.”
Whenever I criticize a large corporation, I get accused of being a socialist or a “Bernie Bro” by the libertarian, “free-traders” who conflate corporatism with capitalism. They tell me if I don’t like a corporation engaging in consumer fraud or otherwise behaving unethically, I can take my business elsewhere. That’s true, taking my business elsewhere is excellent advice, and buying from brick-and-mortar retailers is good for communities. I’ll do more of that. But when a major corporation winks at its platform being used for the counterfeit sale of legitimate small businesses’ products, there is not a “magic hand” of supply and demand at work. Rather, it is a form of theft from the legitimate small businesses. For those of us who advocate for a free market in an economically sovereign United States, we see the threat that arises from corporations engaging in willful blindness to counterfeiting and consumer fraud, especially when it benefits foreign adversaries.

The libertarian, “free-traders” who conflate corporatism with capitalism are pretty bad at libertarianism also since it's always been recognized that combating fraud is a legitimate activity for the state and, consequently, corporations, large or small, should be punished for failing to rein it in.

Amazon gets away with a lot because I think most people assume an outfit as big as theirs is beyond cheating, but it is not so. There is an almost perfect parallel to Jason Arday and Cambridge (really all elite universities), who proomise superior academics but provide counterfeit garbage.

The same issue is with all the telecommunication companies that allow spam and scam calls on their phone lines, along with faked Caller ID data. Scammers could (still can?) literally call your phone number, with your own phone # as the ID. Or fake real numbers to try and improve the scam (hurting the true and real people owning those #'s).
Even if the phone companies made a fraction of a cent per call to connect them to you, how many millions of scam calls were going on in a single day? Doesn't matter to them if your aunt or grandmother became penniless because of scammers. They got their fraction of a penny. All the benefits, but no cost for the phone companies. Why would they improve the system, add proper security, when that would only add cost... and lower revenues, thanks to less fake calls they would get paid for?

One thing to consider on what packages look like: companies change their packages. And you might be looking at a new package, or (perhaps) an old package that has been sitting in a warehouse for a long time. Or, it might just be a different version of a product - say, the 20mg version instead of the 50mg version, or the European market product instead of the US market one.
Having to try and figure that out is part of the problem.

You can't have that because a) globo homo wants to source cheap so they can maximize profits and if cheap means hiring illegals for food processing that don't have a culture of basic hygiene, so be it. And b) they buy off regulators and politicians to protect them from the inevitable consequences.
In the case of Big Pharma, they buy off the media too by running insipid ads on TV--it is not so much to drive consumer demand but rather is a cudgel to keep the media from taking the side of the people rather than the corporate Pharma assholes.

Most probiotics use it as an ingredient because it is very good media for growing gut bacteria and even such high end probiotics like Pendulum use minute amounts.
Just Thrive has a Pre-Biotic fiber that doesn't use it, that they suggest to go along with their probiotic, and it doesn't have any inulin.

Let's say I like to brush my teeth with super glue. Someone comes along pounding their fist, "these god damn super glue tooth brushers!!! Fuck them!!!".
Honestly who gives a shit. Like why would I give a fuck what you or anyone thinks. I don't need you to "accept" my way of brushing teeth? I don't give a fuck.

It is an additive to "stretch" coffee, but Cafe du Monde has it as an ingredient, and it gives it a nice bitter taste that goes well with Vietnamese food, I have found. Especially the high garlic-high chili foods. Nom.
WWII German re-enactors love it because the German coffee ration had lots of chicory in it, and supposedly you can "moderate" the bitterness by hanging it in a canvas bag under shelter from the rain for a week or two

But Milley's public, unprompted disclosures about his Chinese loyalties - which he called routine communications! - shocked even my jaded sensibilities.
So brazen, because he knew it was SOP in the Pentagon, and that Congress understood it too, and IC opinion makers like NYT and WaPo would give him air cover.

I have that at their coffee shops in town, but their ground coffee has gotten pricey. For somebody who remembers when RT brand coffee with chicory was about $2.00 for 12 oz. (ca. 1989), CC's $12 is ridiculous. I buy Cafe El Morro espresso-style at Aldi, 8.8 oz. for $3.60, so a little more than a pound for just over $7.00.

It's very easy to copy a famous brand and logo, slap in on some Chinesium, and sell it online. That's basically what the actual licensed sellers do anyway, except they pay for the license.
The odds of getting caught are low, and if you do, you just close shop and open up under a different name.

I've shifted some of my buying away from Amazon. It's too hard to find, well, anything in particular because they've made the search so useless. If getting a particular thing actually matters, like buying repair parts for appliances or small engines or whatnot, I now tend to go to a specialized vendor. I haven't moved all of my spending to other places, because on-line shopping is a quagmire, but I am pretty quick to look elsewhere if it seems appropriate.

So Amazon destroyed its own search algorithms in order to sell ads to vendors for product placement. Same as grocery stores sell the best shelf space to big food companies. That makes you have to bend over, reach way up high, or other stunts to get what you want in a grocery store. In Amazon's marketplace, their virtual shelf though is crammed full of the same company under different shells selling the same exact slop under different names. That allows IP theft, fake shit, and other means of putting the crapola products in the prominent position and the buyer ending up never being able to find what brand they actually want that is genuine.
That is also why you see some name brand companies no longer selling to Amazon at all directly--they are tired of getting the blame for phony products sold by shitty Amazon vendors. That in turn is where the small business shady types buy out of date name brand products and flog them via Amazon.

Look for replacement on Amazon, just so see what they have.
Replacements range from $14 to $150 and I have absolutely no clue what the names of legit manufacturers even are, because none of them are Sony or Phillips or Maxell or Bose. (yeah, that's how old I am)

They are definitely weaker in some respects--basically corporations and businesses are moving away from them. Even Microsoft has finally given up on the idea that they can make bank in China (saw the news article this week describing the withdrawal). But momentum continues for a bit until divestiture occurs. And the decoupling is occurring, just not nearly as fast as we would like it.
Difficult for the US to detangle the relationship in part because so many domestic GOP and Dem politicians, institutions, and key political donors are embedded in keeping China market access. The donors are beginning to fade, the institutions like universities are beginning to retrench, and the pols are being replaced.

Fooled twice.
Had a period of ice and snow the past winter and couldn't find deicer locally. Ordered from Amazon, and that wasn't a good idea. Because it was cheap, tossed it out rather than the hassle of returning it at that time. I guess that's how the scammers make their profits.
A variety of fake products come in from Hong Kong advertised under Google Discovery, etc. I got caught up in the spring ordering something cute for a garden that was supposed to be from North Carolina craft persons. It turned out to being expensive junk from a NYC warehouse.
However, the supplier had to be tracked back to Hong Kong within 2 weeks from time of receipt for a refund.
The process to track the real supplier, its address, and then return the small package legally ($35+) was a hassle & costly. In the end, the supplier didn't pick it up from the Hong Kong drop point & two weeks later, the package worked its way back to me. I wasn't reimbursed the out-of-pocket for shipping the junk to Hong Kong.
I've put a complaint in to the BBB over the ads but there are so many identical complaints, I don't see how it can address them without federal government help.

Others don't. A couple people on FB make an "honest" living off of selling fake shit to the masses. Some of it, like certain purses or the like are so close to authentic that it takes a keen eye to know what to look for.

If any of you are familiar with defense contractors, they often buy off military and intelligence officers with board positions.
I once worked for one such, and they brought in a couple of these guys, one of whose names most of you would know, and the other would be known to some small number of you.
They came in to this all hands meeting where most of the people were wary of, if not openly hostile toward the government, to assuage their fears.
At the end, they did this "ask us anything" segment. This was during the Snowden thing, so all the questions were about NSA culpability.
Except mine. I only asked "Was Yuri Nosenko a triple agent or not?"
It was the one question where the NSA guy said "we can't answer."

I take three supplements daily, plus a multi-vitamin. Creatine. Collagen. Saw palmetto for prostrate health. I don't have "scientific" data from Big Pharma or Little Fauci or Corrupt Academia to support my conclusion, but I know that what I take works and each work noticeably well. Is it the placebo effect or the mere power of suggestion? Don't know. Don't care. I just know what works for me and I prefer positive results to "evidence" explaining why or why not. I buy the creatine through Amazon, the others through a local "nutrition" store, but thanks to this article, I will start buying my Creatine at a brick-n-mortar now too.

"Plenty of prisons," said the gentleman, laying down the pen again.
"And the Union workhouses?" demanded Scrooge. "Are they still in operation?"
"They are. Still," returned the gentleman, "I wish I could say they were not."
"The Treadmill and the Poor Law are in full vigour, then?" said Scrooge.
"Both very busy, sir."
"Oh! I was afraid, from what you said at first, that something had occurred to stop them in their useful course," said Scrooge. "I am very glad to hear it."
"Under the impression that they scarcely furnish Christian cheer of mind or body to the multitude," returned the gentleman, "a few of us are endeavouring to raise a fund to buy the Poor some meat and drink, and means of warmth. We choose this time, because it is a time, of all others, when Want is keenly felt, and Abundance rejoices. What shall I put you down for?"
"Nothing!" Scrooge replied.

Well to start, they have to be born in the Victorian age. And then they have to be destitute, and living in a home because they can’t afford to live anywhere else. Workhouse conditions were purposefully austere in an attempt to avoid people trying to get there or staying longer than absolutely necessary.

While I enjoy both reading and watching all the versions of A Christmas Carol, I agree.
And I still don't understand the virtue of becoming a spendthrift in your later years as some sort of redemption--you're not going to buy your way into heaven and no matter how vast your fortune, it's a meager pittance to the debt you've incurred.
As if you need the praise of man, seeing your good deeds.
I mean, if it makes you feel better sure, but it's no proxy for true, personal repentance.

James Charles
Today's selection is a very nicely done painting. (Great detail, lighting, colors, and positive in nature.) Artist James Charles (1851–1906) has/had an excellent body of work.
Reportedly, in the mid-to-late 19th century, French movements shifted the trajectory of British painters away from rigid, moralizing Victorian studio pieces. They abandoned hyper-detailed Pre-Raphaelite precision, and adopted the French approach of square-brush techniques, visible textures, and looser forms.
This stylistic rebellion directly led to the formation of the New English Art Club (NEAC) in 1886. Founded by James Charles, George Clausen, and John Singer Sargent, it served as London's premier showcase for French-influenced modern art. (AI Overview)

Nope, envy. Since about 2000, the EU has been on a downward train while the US, despite Democrats' best efforts, has improved its economy.
Mississippi being wealthier per capita than the average UK citizen is causing massive angst and Italy is below the UK in per capita income.
And you can see the hollowing out of Euroland by the fact they refuse to have kids, fertility has dropped to almost nothing among the native population so the PTB think they can bring in Muzzies and Africans to do the work and replace the native populations.

Most people don't want to end up like Kyle Rittenhouse, on trial for murder to killing thugs out to kill him. So until a societal reset occurs that stamps on 'yutes' with really bad consequences for the yutes for this behavior, it is not prudent to draw down unless you have no choice and the most prudent choice is not to be there in the first place.
This anti social behavior has killed malls, killed amusement parks, and killed any festival, etc. that does not have high entry fees, metal detectors, and ample security.
And you can thank social media for assholes acting out and others filming the crap--drones want to be famous even if only for a fleeting moment before they enter the prison system, die from gangbanging, or kill themselves via drugs.
The barbarians are within the gates. Act accordingly.

There's a whole liturgy.
All of these must be yelled, often multiple times; exact order is not required as prior cants can be repeated later, even if not logical.
(minor variations are accepted.)
These are the Incantations of Innocence and Freedom:
- I din do nuffin
(this is mandatory and must be said in every invocation. "what'd I do?" is acceptable but must still be followed by "I din do nuffin")
- Don't touch me
- I can't breathe
- I'm pregnant
- let me speak to your supervisor
- let me call my mom/grandma
Yelling these multiple times--even if you are in cuffs--will ward off The Police, who will magically let you go free.

In One of Bloodiest Months Since Start of War, Putin Loses 43,000 Soldiers on Ukraine Battlefield
Posted by: Anonosaurus Wrecks
Total casualties, possible. Russian doctrine has never given a shit about losses of common soldiers. Attacking fixed fortifications usually bakes into the cake really excessive casualties. That is why doctrine argues that you need 3:1 superiority to launch offensive attacks on fortifications. That is what is going on the Donbass--Ukrainians have extensively fortified that area since 2014.
Putin is trying to complete taking it for some reason, primarily according to at least one tactician, it is because the rugged terrain of that region of the Donbass, once conquered, gives way to plains where Russia would be advantaged and the Ukrainians would not have the prepared defenses.
So throwing away a lot of men from the periphery of the Soviet Empire, many of which probably barely speak Russian but do it for poverty reasons, doesn't threaten regime stability.

Social media where each poster tries to one up each other in 'compassion' or 'love' toward shitty evil people is an AWFL phenomenon. It pits the social competitiveness of women trying to top each other like a rancid replay of high society, Hollyweird, or other useless strivings to be top of the hill socially. In this case, social media where anyone can play.

True, but his problem now is that more men are being killed than are voluntarily joining the army. Much of that is due to the extreme levels of corruption, which basically guarantee that if you don't hand over your enlistment bonus to your noncoms and above, you'll be at the head of the next near-suicidal assault.

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

The Morning Report — 8/ 17 /26
Good morning kids. So, how in Heaven's name did this happen?
Located approximately 650 feet northeast of the White House grounds, the 100-year-old Securities Building on 15th Street was purchased on July 21, 2026 [sic] for $8.4 million by the Philip Qiu and Family Foundation, filings show. The building’s new owner, Philip Qiu, has held numerous positions within Chinese intelligence and state security arms, according to
university records and DCNF translations of Chinese government announcements.
Considering the Chi-Coms have already purchased untold thousands of acres of our farmland as well as land adjacent to many of our military bases, this really is not that surprising as it is disgusting and alarming. In this instance, I don't think there is any legislation that requires real estate agents or property owners to investigate or refuse to sell to any potential buyers. Then again considering the metastasis of the Confucius Institutes on our campuses as well as the infiltration of Red Chinese nationals into some of our most sensitive tech firms, who for sure would have been or should have been vetted by HR departments out the wahzoo. At least we have a tiny bit of sanity to celebrate coming out of Texas.
Frankly, the very idea of this project rubbed me the wrong way. Why would airport officials in Texas be pandering to the Muslim community in such an obvious, unnecessary, discriminatory, and, as I see it, humiliating way? This is America.. . Apparently, I wasn’t the only one irked by the project. Many Americans opposed the installation of Wudu ablution stations — including Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R). In a Friday memo, Abbott announced he’d directed a review of all state grants to Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airports. The news release read (in part): These ablution facilities appear designed to single out one subset of the population for special treatment based on religion. That is illegal. Both airports are government-owned facilities. The federal and state constitutions prohibit government from facilitating this sort of discrimination. Just as the government cannot favor the secular over the sacred, it also cannot favor one religious view over all others.Actually, if these installations were made dual usage, I could support them. Muslim foot-washing and Dog Urinals. Plus Toilet paper with Koranic passages printed on them, although that could cause mass perianal-infections and we can't have that, can we? And of course this madness continues seemingly unabated, despite the best efforts of President Trump which to date has been yielding considerable successes. And hence we have to contend with what amounts to mass insurrection
Democrats in blue states across the country have swamped their legislatures with an avalanche of nearly 250 pro-migrant bills to thwart President Donald Trump’s immigration and deportation policies... The bills have been enthusiastically supported by state Democrats, but many have been opposed by legal action by the federal government. In some blue states, though, some of the measures have even been vetoed by Democrat governors who fear the measures go too far... The left is using liberal judges to obstruct the president’s mandate, says James Percival, General Counsel for the Department of Homeland Security: “They know if they can just get enough crazy district judges to do enough crazy things, they can run out the clock.”There is only one proper response to this and that is the ramping up of ICE operations to deport as many illegal aliens as possible and the utter rejection of all rulings by any court that attempts to interfere with the legal operation of federal authorities in the securing of our borders and defense of our national security and protenction of the citizenry. Meanwhile the Democrats continue to take their "Lumps" shall we say, and it's delicious.
Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) responded to a recent poll that found that more than half of Democrats have a positive view of socialism over capitalism, stating that “this is lunacy.”If you had told me back when Fetterman ran and defeated Mehmet Oz back in 2022 that he would actually not only sound and even on occasion act sane I'd have said you were crazy. Yet there he is supporting Israel, secure borders and publicly calling out his own party as insane. Yes, there is no doubt that his past as a died-in-the-wool lib means he will always vote the way the party leadership demands. And yet, there he is and there he goes. Good for him. Be nice if we had an actual conservative saying what he's saying instead of going down on Mitch McConnell's heir apparent du jour, be it Thune or Cornyn or God-forbid Susan Collins or whoever. While we're on the subject of madness there's this:
It’s mid-August. That can only mean one thing – Democrat politicians spreading fabrications about the police shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, on August 9, 2014. The most persistent fabrication is the claim that Brown was a “gentle giant” gunned down while his hands were raised up and saying don’t shoot. “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot” became the slogan of the organized Black Lives Matter movement, which was launched after the Brown shooting. . . This year was quieter than most years but leave it to Rashida Tlaib to tweet that Michael Brown was “murdered”: Mike Brown should still be with us today.Yeah, were it not for the fact of Democrats' and LBJ's Great Society that caused the genocide (There's a word for you Lefties!) of the black family and the general societal dissolution that we are suffering 60 years on and will continue until there is a radical change in culture and education back to normalcy. Oh, Senator Fetterman if you want to see lunacy in action, here's a gigantic heaping helping of it that you should call out, but probably won't. Oh well... Have a good day,

- We saved Europe from starvation and communism. Now America needs a Marshall Plan of its own. (First it needs to be denazified of the Left - jjs)
The Country We Forgot to Rebuild
- In a post on X, Fetterman warned that the Democrat Party is “becoming the party of socialism.” Fetterman also shared a screenshot of a Mediaite article regarding a CBS News/YouGov survey, which found that among Democrats surveyed, 58 percent had a positive view of socialism, while 32 percent had a positive view of capitalism.
John Fetterman Responds to Poll That Democrats Hold Positive View of Socialism: ‘This Is Lunacy’ "DEMOCRAT/LEFTIST/GLOBALIST BORDER BLOODBATH," AMNESTY, IMMIGRATION, BORDER SECURITY - A review by the left-wing State Futures organization discovered 242 pieces of legislation in 32 states, of which about a fifth have already passed, OregonLive reported.

- The politics here should worry Democrats more than the polling. An Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll released in August found immigration remains a stronger issue for President Donald Trump than the economy or Iran.
It's Official, Democrats Want to Abolish ICE

Gov. Beshear: ‘It’s Time’ to Abolish the Electoral College
The only way I see that happening is to hollow out the Electoral vote extra-constitutionally by 1) an interstate compact to award a state's EV to the national popular vote winner and 2) massive blue state vote fraud.
Otherwise it will take an amendment. And that would require ratification by three-quarters of the states, either by vote of the legislature or a state convention. There are a lot of stupid GOPe turkeys, but I can't see them all voting for Thanksgiving.

I don't want to offend any 'ettes with tattoos...but I personally despise tattoos on women. I'm surprised to see Mace has them, but I guess they're so ubiquitous now that I'm about the only one left without them.
I was reading some coverage the other day of that Clancy murder trial and the coroner was on the stand. Young woman with exposed arms. Her whole left arm was a mass of tattoos. A sleeve, I think they call it? On a coroner? I was surprised to see it and it made her look ridiculous and much less professional, imo. YMMV

"clean line of sight" is simply not true. There are taller buildings west of the Securities Building blocking any sort of view.
I'm just more amazed that someone could buy up a building in the capitol district for $230/sq ft. Residential housing runs $580/sq ft. It appears to be a Class B building, so $260/sq ft typical. Then again 22% vacancy in that area thanks to Covid.

Defacing is a good way to describe it. I can even begin to list all the dumb tattoos I've seen on women that, in their minds I suppose, show some kind of "meaning" within themselves. I even have one friend who is a Christian. On her torso, she has a large tattoo of a big arrow pointed upward and the words, "I belong to Him" beside it. Why? Just...why??? The entire trend mystifies me.

Ok, I agree that a lot of folks get tats because they think they're 'cool' or because of peer pressure. But some folks have them as physical reminders of significant events or personal attachments to someone or something in particular. I usually just ask someone what their artwork means to them. You'd be surprised what you learn.

Out current elites don't believe in an afterlife so the here and now is all they have. And they are getting old.
So they are willing to take major, major risks in seeking immortality - whether it be gene therapies, trying to contact aliens, AI, or nano-tech, they are willing to take significant risks with the very existence of mankind if it could possibly extend their lives.

What could Bessent do to economically isolate Iran further that has "never been seen"?
- Target China and India
- Broaden the scope of sanctions on Iran
- Target Iranian crypto assets
- Target global ports
China buys more than 90% of Iran's oil exports, making it the most likely target in any effort by Bessent to cut Tehran's energy revenues. But the escalating economic war would carry significant risks. Sanctions on large Chinese companies or financial institutions could escalate tensions with Beijing.

Much like other ways to win wars, modern leftwing sensibilities call all sorts of tactics off limits then argue you can't win wars with weapons.
Give me the USAF and USN for a month and allow me to execute any reporter furthering Iranian propaganda and I'll end the war, or at least make is so there are no Iranians living close enough to the Gulf to impede naval traffic which is the same thing.

Or ignore the judges. It seems that both the Executive and Legislative branches worship the Judiciary as the Final Word of Truth, when that branch, out of all others has absolutely no respect for the Executive, Legislative and We The People for its ability to enforce, fund and tolerate its treachery.

The first post reported to the police featured the title “time for mass deportations” next to a Middle Eastern man in his 20s or 30s with the words “Children in need”. It was captioned with: “12-year-old Mohammed recently arrived at Dover. Please donate to help him move from a three-star to a five-star hotel, which has a better halal menu, free Wi-Fi, and Sky and is nearer to a girls’ school”.

I don't know anything about her singing, but she's average attractiveness and has very little acting skills.
The fact they're shoving her and Pedro Pascal down our throat makes it seem like they're trying to force an arranged marriage to breed a 'super group' of children to take over the hollywood landscape.

FYI, all Soyuz and Progress spacecraft are manufactured at the RKK Energia facility in Korolev, a small city in the NNE outer suburbs of Moscow. The Russian Mission Control facility is adjacent to the RKK Energia plant. These are definitely single-point failure targets the US does not want destroyed or seriously damaged while the International Space Station is operational. AFAIK, US-Russian International Space Station operations, crewing, and supply have not been affected by the US sanctions put in effect after Putin invaded Ukraine. Such is geopolitics left-over from the 1990s.

Under Section 249 of the Immigration and Nationality Act, known as the Registry, immigrants can qualify for a green card if they have resided in the U.S. continuously since January 1, 1972. Because Congress has not updated this fixed date since 1986, the provision applies to a window over 54 years ago, rendering it practically obsolete.
Congress created the registry provision in 1929.
Lawmakers moved the cutoff date forward four separate times.
The last update occurred under the Reagan administration in 1986, setting the date to January 1, 1972.
No further updates have passed, leaving the requirement frozen for decades.
Lawmakers (NY, IL, CA) have repeatedly (July 22, March 23, July 2025, July 2026) introduced bills, i.e., Renewing Immigration Provisions of the Immigration Act of 1929, to reform Section 249. Proposals aim to replace the fixed date with a rolling requirement.
And, certain employment-based non-immigrant classifications, such as specific L-1 visa holders (managers & executives), have maximum allowable initial stays or extensions capping out at seven years.

Sounds like she was bi-polar and maybe the illness first obviously surfaced with the birth of her daughter. (She had a daughter with Wladimir Klitschko, a Ukrainian former professional boxer. She relinquished the child's full time upbringing to him but, reportedly, was still involved with her.)
RIP 🙏

Ohio gov race has me worried as does their Senate contest.
Without looney toons lady on the ballot in WI....that will be a tough race. Winnable, though.
MN is now winnable (long shot) now that My Pillows Amnesty guy is out.
I'm kinda hopeful. What I was praying for was a bigger shift after 2024. Concentrated action to remove Rhino shit bags and regime change. Maybe have a functional RNC.
We've got some of that, which is great but Iran, Inflation and H1B's linger.
Need a GOP counter platform for o fight the commies with....we have boot straps, H1B is MAGA and no SafeT Act lingering about.
Going to be tight in the House, still.

There was an asswipe NAVFAC dude at Dahlgren VA that would step on your toes to see if your were wearing steel toes.
He came over and stood by me one day to try that shit and I just got in my car and left for the day.
