The painting is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It is praised for its dramatic depiction of the threatening mood of blackening skies and eerily illuminated terrain prior to the storm itself. The painting has been connected to mounting tensions before the Civil War, which were often expressed in terms of natural imagery

Yes. Just once as well. Was walking from bus stop to house after being sent home just 2 hours into the school day Superintendent lost his job over sending the kids to school that day. Bus almost went off the road before even getting to our stop, so he definitely deserved it. An eighth-mile walk in blizzard conditions seems very long. Fortunately, the van was parked at the bottom of the hill so sister, neighbor girl, and I listened to the thunder while resting out of the wind for a few minutes before finishing our walk.

From his The Rake's Progress series, we see the sozzled rake having his pocket picked by a prostitute. But I want to draw your attention to the two women at the left of the painting.
The one taking off her stockings was known as a "posture moll." For a fee, she would strip naked and then, standing on the mirrored plate held up by the old woman with a candle behind her, let herself be examined from all angles and positions. The moll, however, was NOT a prostitute and you were not allowed to touch her.
Thus endeth today's lesson on Georgian sex practices.

The Morning Report — 1/20/26
Democrats are playing with fire, but it’s the whole country that’s likely to get burned.
For a democratic republic to function, you need certain key elements.
First, elections must be generally regarded as honest.
Second, candidates and their supporters have to abide by the results of those elections when they occur.
Third, winners of elections must not behave in a way that makes losing the contest a matter of life and death (or lifetime imprisonment). Democrats are undermining — or just outright wrecking — all three.
Ellen DeGeneres draws criticism for comments on Minneapolis protests
Don Lemon blasts Minnesota churchgoers harassed by anti-ICE protesters for ‘entitlement’ and ‘white supremacy’ On the electoral trustworthiness front, Democrats are standing united against measures to ensure that only legitimate voters can cast votes, and that the votes cast are counted honestly and transparently.
When it comes to abiding by elections, the Democrats have treated President Donald Trump’s victories in both 2016 and 2024 as illegitimate. (In fairness, he did the same in 2020 — but accepted Joe Biden’s presidency after Inauguration Day.)
In Trump’s first term, Democrats formed a “resistance” movement — as if the administration of a duly elected president was analogous to a German occupation government in World War II — and pushed the patently false claim that his victory was a “hacked election” or the product of (nonexistent) “Russian collusion.”
In his second term the “resistance” is expanding, with suggestions that Trump is ruling as a “king” — and now with the often violent protests aiming to block the legitimate enforcement of duly enacted immigration laws.
Democratic governors and mayors in Minnesota, Oregon and Illinois have gone so far as to actively enable the chaos by withdrawing police protection.
Finally, winners of elections must not pose an existential threat to the losers; they can’t carry out, or even hint at, mass imprisonment or blanket prosecution. Finally, winners of elections must not pose an existential threat to the losers; they can’t carry out, or even hint at, mass imprisonment or blanket prosecution.
Take a lesson from history: Julius Caesar led his army across the Rubicon to seize power in Rome because his political enemies were plotting to subject him to political prosecutions that could have led to his death or exile.
Caesar saved himself (for a while) — but his action, and the behavior of his opponents that triggered it, killed off the Roman Republic.
Historically in American politics, electoral losers have accepted the results, however grudgingly, and concentrated on winning the next election.
This new trend of treating Republican electoral victories as inherently illegitimate is a departure — and very dangerous.
It’s made more dangerous by widespread threats from important Democratic figures to prosecute not only Trump and his administration, but lower-level officials — and now, even federal law-enforcement agents.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has been raising this specter for months, and other prominent leftists are following his lead.
In September, Jeffries said that Democrats would prosecute members of Trump’s Justice Department once they regain power: “Donald Trump and this toxic administration will be long gone, but there will still be accountability to be had.”
In December, he issued a message on X to “all these GOP extremists and [Trump] sycophants . . . the statute of limitations is 5 years! It will be well beyond the end of the Trump admin.”
We’ve heard similar statements from Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett, Democratic consultant James Carville and ex-CNN gadfly Jim Acosta. This month, the drumbeat got louder amid stepped-up immigration-enforcement operations in Minneapolis, Minn.
Leftist commentator Jennifer Welch recently used her podcast to push “relentless” prosecutions of Trump, Elon Musk, Stephen Miller and other Republicans if Democrats regain power, arguing it would be necessary for “true national reconciliation.” And just last week Jeffries was back warning rank-and-file ICE officers to expect a Democratic administration to prosecute them for any crimes it could discover (or perhaps, given the history of efforts to prosecute Trump in the past, invent).
“Every single one of these people who we see brutalizing the American people, they’re gonna be held accountable,” Jeffries said of ICE agents. “And the statute of limitations . . . is five years.”
As Caesar’s experience demonstrates, you can’t have a democratic republic if every election is an existential struggle in which the loser risks extinction.
People don’t want to be rendered extinct, and they can be expected to take steps to prevent it.
If Democrats keep up this thuggery, Republicans will be all but forced to respond in their own defense — and any action they may take could destabilize the nation even further.
The last time such a breach happened in the United States was in 1860, where pro-slavery Democrats seceded from the country rather than abide by the results of a presidential election. That resulted in a Civil War that killed hundreds of thousands of Americans and devastated much of the nation — a war driven by Southern “fire-eater” rhetoric that’s not unlike what we’re hearing from some Democrats today.
It needs to stop, or the consequences might be much worse this time around.
Have a great day. And lastly, a quick shout-out and a huge thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

- While tensions prevail in Minnesota over immigration enforcement, Trump floated the possibility of invoking the Insurrection Act, which allows the president to nationally deploy troops to quell civil disorder, rebellion and other instances of unrest.

Trump has the greatest opportunity since 1865 to shatter the Democrat party and yet he is pissing it away. Just as I predicted after Renee Good, the Dems are doubling down and he isn't doing a damned thing about it.

And again another church was hit in Nigeria, killing and enslaving the parishioners.
And in Michigan, a church was burned during service and several killed.
But Don Lemon says it's white supremacy, not valid actual fear, that caused the members to panic in terror when his group busted in yelling and screaming.
The city and state let this happen.
It's time to declare an insurrection, order dispersal of the crowds and restoration of law.
Then invoke the Act when they refuse.

Leftists are going to try to murder ICE officers. I should say continue to try. Because it's happened. Remember the shooting at ICE officers in Dallas (I think) four of five months ago, by a guy on a rooftop across from the ICE facility's entrance gate? IIRC he wounded an in-custody illegal or two; no ICE officers. He killed himself.

There is a certain homeostasis in Loser Think, where a conflict in Trump's personal level of winning intersects with the GOP-e's standard of mediocrity and fecklessness.
He has to do deal with the fact Bondi is a retard and knows that this is the highest office she will ever attain so she needs to think of what grift she can do three years from now. People other than Trump call her and Trump has nothing left to offer.

With the original delay, I wonder if they were set to strike them down, but maybe a word from the administration reminded them the money would have to be given back and it's already been spent. So, all the money would have to come from a nice big tax hike. Could be the justices don't want to have the blame hung on them. A coward like Roberts is probably scrambling to get them to be OK'd.

That article is fatally flawed. The whole thesis is that it will take an action to make "the man on the street" aware of what's going on. But by its own testimony, there has been enough to show what the Left is up to, but which has been covered up by the MFM.
So what in the world makes the author think there is ANY action that those bastards will report accurately? They swore Biden was 100% compos mentis. They swore Obama was smart, and Clinton was a faithful husband, for as long as they could.

I believe the unrest in Minneapolis was originally funded through the Somali fraud. That's my money funding it, at the start, not some billionaire.
Yet, there are several billionaires that resurface everytime one goes looking for who's pouring money into the rioting. Those people are known, have been known for years.
My question is this; why hasn't the DoJ with an assist from the DoD or some other 3 letter Agency black bagged one or more of them? I think that would send every bit the message that the 11th ABN out of Alaska would. No?

Do you really think a group of people with the combined IQ of a potato organized this massive fraud ring that isn't just happening in Minnesota but nationwide without help? Somalis are a weapon not the masterminds.
Somalis were intentionally imported and set up in enclaves like Minneapolis, Lewiston, ME, Columbus, OH and others and taught how to game billions of our tax dollars in exchange for political support. They've turned purple areas deep blue and guaranteed Democrats certain seats.
There is no way this scale of fraud could have gone on for so long without a whole lot of help from politicians and power brokers.
Mike Benz compared the people behind all of these scams as seed investors who start organizations with their money and then attract huge amount of tax dollars. The people who attacked the church are the same people who rioted in 2020. It's a lot of the same networks and they most definitely have billionaire backing.

His organizations are quietly funding much of what’s going on today. Why don’t we “bag him”? Because he got out of the US when he realized he was way past the law, and ostensibly moved to Singapore.
But other reports say that he actually spends most of his time now in Shanghai, under the personal protection of Xi. If he does go to Singapore, no doubt he is with a full Chinese military security team around him.
Did I mention where most of his money comes from? Take a big guess.

Most of the crap written about what Boomers wrought is BS. But this - the result of the Me Generation - is a real problem.
~~~~~
Pretty sure those damn Boomers started the Civil War too.
Seriously?
I really don't think that most of those who continually rail against "Boomers" have no idea how insulting and infuriating it is to see an entire generation painted with a broad brush. This is especially true since every generation has its own peccadilloes and faults.

Do you really think a group of people with the combined IQ of a potato organized this massive fraud ring that isn't just happening in Minnesota but nationwide without help? Somalis are a weapon not the masterminds.
---------
I think it was the tax monies stolen by the MN government, then funneled through the various Somali frauds that originally was used, by Minneapolis, to fund the beginning of the insurrection. The various players had billions to work with.
No, I do not think the Somali's dreamt up this shit.
Yet, the focus of the administration is on Minneapolis. Where Somali fraud was exposed to the tune of $8 plus billion dollars of tax monies. I'm certain this is one of 50 states that have a similar problem with fraud. Maybe not Somalis, but still fraud.

“Immigrant” is a legal term as well. Someone who entered the United States through a port of entry and has authorization to be in the United States.
The perversion of words, and language, is part of the conditioning process. Ultimately designed to prevent actual thought. Thoughts become words, and words become actions. You can tell a great deal about a person’s worldview, naturally by the words they might use in casual conversation.

I passed anyway. I didn't get an email, "There was not sufficient material to make a determination; please test again." Oh, no. "You passed."
After that I ignored the emails -- and discovered there was no enforcement mechanism anyway.

Youtube and its parent company Google deserves to be sued. For the past three weeks YouTube has been hosting a video that is a calculated lie, falsely accusing me of taking money from Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro. It refused to remove the video. It is, of course, a ludicrous accusation, but paid trolls are daily spreading this lie across the internet. This untruth is essentially an accusation of treason, which then leads the internet mob to call for my death. Advocating for liability for Google is no small step for me. I have long defended the private-property rights of internet companies.

Top Story
- Two things to clarify from yesterday. First, that quote at the top of the post explaining the DRAM Apocalypse was from Jatin Malik, an engineer at Atlassian.
Second, brains are computers.
- Agent psychosis: Are we going insane? (Armin Ronacher)
Apparently, yes:You can use Polecats without the Refinery and even without the Witness or Deacon. Just tell the Mayor to shut down the rig and sling work to the polecats with the message that they are to merge to main directly. Or the polecats can submit MRs and then the Mayor can merge them manually. It's really up to you. The Refineries are useful if you have done a LOT of up-front specification work, and you have huge piles of Beads to churn through with long convoys.
That's from the Gas Town Emergency User Manual which would be a great name for a work of surrealist speculative fiction but is quite literally a user manual.Looking at Gas Town (and Beads) from the outside, it looks like a Mad Max cult. What are polecats, refineries, mayors, beads, convoys doing in an agentic coding system? If the maintainer is in the loop, and the whole community is in on this mad ride, then everyone and their daemons just throw more slop up. As an external observer the whole project looks like an insane psychosis or a complete mad art project. Except, it's real? Or is it not? Apparently a reason for slowdown in Gas Town is contention on figuring out the version of Beads, which takes 7 subprocess spawns. Or using the doctor command times out completely. Beads keeps growing and growing in complexity and people who are using it, are realizing that it's almost impossible to uninstall. And they might not even work well together even though one apparently depends on the other.
What is Beads?
Beads is a quarter of a million lines of code to manage Markdown files in Git repositories.
I have written entire enterprise systems with paying customers and decade-long track records that are no larger than that.
But I didn't have agentic AI to help me, so they actually worked.
There's a term in programming called technical debt, which measures the cost of a quick fix that you know you will have to rip out and fix properly one day.
Vibe coding is the technical debt singularity.

- Dumbphone owners have lost their minds: The deranged rantings of a smartphone owner. (Wired)
It's hard to know where to even start with this. The author - self-reportedly Gen Z - has a crippling codependency with her iPhone, and her friends who have abandoned such devices for dumbphones are crippled without them.
They're like walking, talking, quarter-million line codebases that can only do a single task, and fail even at athat.

Many kids I knew in jr. high and later had another term for it, the "n****r rig." These same people called mayonnaise "my-nez," girls' hair of a certain dark blonde shade "dirty blonde," and pronounced the name of the kitchen dishwashing receptacle as "zink," so I never took them seriously.

The inauguration was on Monday night, and I already knew I wouldn't have to go to work the next day; that was the time of the Big Snow here. So I stayed up to watch the show. There just seemed to be so much *joy* in the air among the participants, didn't there? As well as among Trump supporters.

I don't know Williams either. Modern country has lost what it used to have, the kind of "story songs" that caught at your heart, and the sense of "fun" in tunes like "I'm Gonna Hire a Wino to Decorate Our Home." Though even that had a thread of seriousness to it: A wife is fed up with her husband's drinking at bars, so she proclaims she's going to make their house over into a honky-tonk bar so he'll stay at home with her.
If you don't know Randy Travis's "Three Wooden Crosses," I suggest you look it up. It's like a complete short story in song and has a wonderful Christian message.

And it's even more amazing when you realize they were in for the duration. Vietnam guys, I understand, knew they were only in for a year or so unless they re-upped. In WWI and WWII, and probably Korea (?), unless you were badly wounded, you were in it until the war was over.
Though I believe there was something called "points," which you earned in service. The impression I have is that once you reached a certain total, you could go home. I don't know how that worked.

140 I can compute with my brain, true. But my brain does much more than that. After all, I can count on my fingers. Does that mean that my fingers are a computer?
The real question is, What is this "I" who is doing these things - who is peering out from behind those two eyeballs to take in the world and perceive and interact with it? Who is running the BASIC code and counting on the fingers? I have no answer to that question. But claiming that it's merely a bigger, faster version of what my old Z-80 does, is a reductio beyond absurdum. IMHO.

That is what I have cynically thought. Right Now, we have a couple generations who refuse to do any physical labor and insist on living in the most expensive locations, then whine about "affordability".
When this AI madness collapses and investors get burned on their special use buildings, all of the zoning, permits and infrastructure will be placed in these outlying areas (eg. Micron in upper NYS). The next generation can move out into the sticks to make appliances, pharmaceuticals and parts that we previously offshored to our enemies.
They will have roads, industrial scale water and electricity, smaller affordable homes to live in, and be outside the reach of the foreigner/monsters we keep in the urban hellscape.

You can use Polecats without the Refinery and even without the Witness or Deacon. Just tell the Mayor to shut down the rig and sling work to the polecats with the message that they are to merge to main directly. Or the polecats can submit MRs and then the Mayor can merge them manually. It's really up to you. The Refineries are useful if you have done a LOT of up-front specification work, and you have huge piles of Beads to churn through with long convoys.

Digital detoxing, apparently, is a thing. The solution in this guy's case? Use a phone that does less and then use the hotspot function so he could use his laptop. Using a device to stop using devices is recursive madness. Like bemoaning your 14th donut of the day, the solution here is simple: don't put the the second one in your mouth.
Still I find myself flirting on the edges of wanting to pitch my phone into the lake occasionally. And I would if it wasn't for Google maps, the apps that substitute for my daily newspaper I used to buy in print, and that it is also the equivalent of a 1960s TV console with a record player built. It's easy to chow down that 15th on it it seems.

Quote I As someone whose political views have changed over the years, I have always marveled at the one big, gaping chasm of uncommon ground between the right and the left: liberals can't seem to understand that their actions are 100% related to the unstoppable boot of consequences headed toward their non-binary crotches — and that boot has a steel toe. Kevin Downey, Jr.
Quote II “The sad truth is, for way too long, antisemitism has been allowed to grow unchecked in this country. Too many institutions have abdicated their moral responsibility to speak up. Too many so-called leaders have stayed quiet. Actions have consequences and inaction has consequences, too,” US Attorney General Pam Bleach Bondi
Quote III I, for one, can’t afford the nuanced opinions and delicate sensibilities of my more liberal neighbors. Bill Glahn

Hartland — Which community has had the most epic decade in Michigan history? Ann Arbor in the 1960s had hippies running wild. Detroit and the auto industry boomed in the 1920s. Grand Rapids officially became “Beer City USA” in the 1990s. But the title of “Most Epic Decade in Michigan History” belongs to Hartland in the 1970s. Hartland? Where’s that? Hartland is a sleepy suburb in Livingston County that’s best known these days for the bad traffic at US-23 and M-59, but in the 1970s it was far and away the coolest place in the entire state. Consider all that happened in this tiny bedroom community back then:
HERNANDO, Fla. (CBS12) — An 81-year-old Florida woman with a criminal past allegedly arranged a murder-for-hire meeting with an undercover detective, landing her behind bars. Detectives with the Citrus County Sheriff’s Office Special Investigations Unit and Major Crimes Unit, with assistance from the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, took 81-year-old Elouise Leland into custody after receiving confidential information that she was actively seeking someone to carry out a murder.

Isn't there some psychological study that says that kids who torture animals often grow up to be murderers and rapists? I guess they don't give up their childhood games, either.

Which, TBH, makes a lot more sense from their perspective. I stopped supporting them years ago but I would probably spring for a box if one showed enough initiative to come to the door and ask.

'Twas a fine evening, until the water leaks from last week recurred just now. Three separate places in kitchen and bathroom. I've mopped up and jammed towels into what appear to be the entry points. Tomorrow I call the office -- again -- and tell them this time that if I slip and fall in the water they have allowed to seep onto my floors, I will be talking to a lawyer. (Which I will.) Maybe that'll get some action.
In the meantime I plan to stop at the local U-Haul office and get some prices for picking up and storing my possessions, shipping them, and the price of a small box-on-wheels that (I hope) I can tow with my most necessary possessions. It's past time to get the hell out of this pesthole.

A big, big think I see with lefty LIVs is a refusal to acknowledge the consequences they don't like are related to the political decisions they make.
A leftwing pol will run on some feel good left wing thing. The LIVs will vote for him. Then when he does the thing the LIVs will argue..."its bad luck"...and vote for the same person or is leftist successor.

Yep, as far as any big show coming down here South. It was a big whopper, hit G4 level earlier, but the magnetic field was pointing in the wrong direction.
That's Bz, the component of the magnetic field pointing "vertically", perpendicular to the ecliptic plane. You want it to be negative, pointing down, and thus bucking the earth's field as it slams into it. That allows the resultant field lines to funnel particles right into the poles, giving the light show.

1) feel like I haven't moved much
2) realize I am a lot more conservative about some things vs libertarian
3) realize that I used to entirely buy into much of the climate cult
4) remember when I thought doctors experts in a variety of fields could be trusted
Now I know:
A) Some things I've got a hardened attitude about, others no longer matter.
B) I always felt that "drugs are bad, mmkay?", but I've seen that "if it doesn't affect anyone" usually, um, actually affects a lot of people, so I'm not as libertarian as I used to be.
C) As George Carlin said, "The planet will be fiiine!"
D) Anyone who can't admit when they don't know something, is an idiot, and credentialed idiots get called "experts".

If "our" side really cared about education, they'd require a very specific content course about Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge. Teach the facts--they killed 2 million people in Cambodia, a nation of about 8 million people. That's 25% of their population.
I'd especially love a rebuttal from fake Indian Elizabeth Warren, fake communist Bernie (who has 3 homes and is a multimillionaire), and Karen Bass (who is a fake mayor and a fake everything--she couldn't run a taco stand, much less a top 5 American city) of why this particular part of history shouldn't be taught.

One of my first stirrings of skepticism was “environmentalists” were a lot different than the hunters and fishermen and outdoorsman guys I grew up around. Even the hard core leftists were big on barbecue and good eats.
Not the crunchy granolas, they were into weird foods and crystal healings and superstitions and seemed a little bit off somehow. I found it difficult to find genuine people, because that’s what Time-Life told me it was about. Trustafarians cosplaying as poor is easy when mommy and daddy can pay for your vagabond hippie lifestyle. The genuine hippies were pretty cool, they weren’t really into tie-dye and frying brain cells.

I know you guys make fun of Skeletor Carville. But, the fact remains his campaign strategy not only was effective, it has some of you convinced Clinton had a position. He had ONE position....to be president (and doggy style, but that's a separate issue).
Carville used to poll individual states. He'd find out their most important issue, and then send Clinton in to hammer home that issue. Some states he was diametrically opposed to other states. They did that in every battleground state, and Clinton (in comparison to "wouldn't be prudent at this juncture" Bush) he was easily the more popular candidate. Remember the media hammering home Bush's inexperience in grocery stores? That was part of highlighting Carville's strategy.

The trouble is they can see and predict the strength of a CME, but they can't see the direction of the magnetic field until it gets to an instrument that can measure it. The SOHO spacecraft out there at L1 point (about 1 million miles in front of earth) can see it, then radio it out, giving 30 minutes to over and hour lead time depending.

Though the article at the Sun says the victims were renting a home 8 miles from Disney World, and were shot there. By their raghead neighbor.
Though maybe it was still on Disney-controlled property? That "Reedy Creek" area that's in Florida but not, like some tourist-trap version of Vatican City?
The raghead was "known to police," and had been found not guilty of attempted murder back in 2021. Nice fellow; who'd have expected sudden onset jihadism?

Just before a conference in Bethesda, Maryland, I took some time to drive through Virginia from Arlington down to Richmond and then over to Charlottesville and Staunton and up through Harrisonburg and over to Culpeper, back in the summer of 1998. It was stunningly beautiful.
Even with running into a deer with a rental car outside of Two Towers National Park, it was a wonderful experience.

Good example: the retards won't let us build nuclear reactors, even though the U.S. industry has been operating for about 75 years without a single fatality to a member of the general public.
Meanwhile, the Soviets (and I suspect now the Russians) were dumping their old sub reactors into the Arctic Ocean whole.
Do you ever hear the retards screeching about that? You do not.

He did a lot of that with the "Prequels". That whole "Democracy dies with applause" thingy was squarely aimed at Bush. All of us didn't understand the degree that which Bush was an inept prick at the time, but that's another subject.

"The virtue of Pride can best be described by the term: "moral ambitiousness." It means that one must earn the right to hold oneself as one's own highest value by achieving one's own moral perfection—which one achieves by never accepting any code of irrational virtues impossible to practice and by never failing to practice the virtues one knows to be rational—by never accepting an unearned guilt and never earning any, or, if one has earned it, never leaving it uncorrected—by never resigning oneself passively to any flaws in one's character—by never placing any concern, wish, fear or mood of the moment above the reality of one's own self-esteem. And, above all, it means one's rejection of the role of a sacrificial animal, the rejection of any doctrine that preaches self-immolation as a moral virtue or duty."

I guess I'm old-fashioned, but crassly displaying every sexual perversion known to mankind to a bunch of teenage kids, when you're supposed to be acting in loco parentis, is evil. Very much aimed at the destruction of the family.

Christianity bases the Old Testament on the Jews and labels them the chosen people. Jesus is a Jew.
- - - - - -
Jews are the Chosen People of the Old Testament (and a very angry and vengeful) God. They keep him happy. Kill off all the Jews, and the Old Testament God will come back. You don't want that.
So be nice to the Jews (you shouldn't be hatin' on people anyway...)

She is terrified of being put out, and had the buckle put on her eye with only a local anesthesia. Her eyes are very deepest and it was an absolute nightmare for her and the surgeon.

Somebody got me a shirt that has a skull and crossbones on the back, except the bones are wrenches, so basically a skull and cross wrenches. It has my last name under it and says "If **** can't fix it we're screwed". Its a cool shirt. I am a machine whisperer. I lean over it and whisper "you will work, or I will fucking destroy you and you will come back as chinese cookingwear. Its funny when people come to see their bikes start for the first time. If we do a new motor for somebody who is doing their own install we want them to bring it back for the first time start up so I can check everything, carb jetting, timing, oil line routing, and most important to make sure the oil pump has oil and there is no air in the lines. The customer always asks "do you think it's gonna fire right up?" I'll say yeah I'm pretty sure because it won't like me when I'm angry. Usually without fail its running by the 2nd crank. It knows... it knows, lol.

Well, I do build custom harleys, some restores, some show bikes. The thing with that it you have to be 100% flawless because everything is seen. You work with a lot of chrome bolts that can't be chipped from crap wrenches or wrong tools, wiring is hidden and has to look like nasa did it, paint can't have boo boos, etc. The bike has to appease me and the harley gods... for it is written. lol

The solar fart field is rotating while maintaining same total strength. If it rotates that z component southward, we'll get something.

It was the most visually realistic SF film made up to that time. The model work, the spaceships . . . You were *right there* with Luke as he flew the fighter ship toward the Death Star and swung at high speed down into the channel at the climax.
And things looked *used* -- scarring and blast markings on Solo's ship, cables snaking across the hangar floor, and more.

Fart field now rotating the right way. Still holding same total strength.
HPI (a measure of how much power is being dumped) is a measly 12 GW. Back in May of 2024 when it lit up down here, HPI was well over 100GW.
By comparison, while the measurements didn't exist back then, The Carrington Event probably hit 500GW -- could be as high as 1 TW.

The flesh of sea-fowl is generally too rancid to find much favour with fastidious palates. Sailors indeed eat the livers and hearts of the penguins, which are exceedingly palatable, but the black flesh of the body is rank and oily, and has rather a perfumed taste. Some voyagers, however, tell us, that eaten in ragouts, they are good as that made from a hare.

For a few months now I've noticed two new dents in my head, like a quarter inch deep or more. I honestly figured that's an old age thing. When you get old you get new head-holes. Sure, ok. Didn't hurt really. Just kind of odd.
Well today I finally put 2 and 2 together and that's where my piece of crap uber expensive glasses push into my noggin. They are making holes. In my head. New holes.
Leaning on horde advice here. Should I be worried? Slap a hot iron to it? My wife has suggested that this is some new advance in human evolution and I'm being readied for cyber implants. So I'm looking forward to that.

On the Endurance expedition, did Shackleton and his men kill and eat penguins as well as seals? Brave men, if so.
Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at January 19, 2026 08:03 PM (wzUl9)
____________
After Shackleton left for South Georgia, it was suggested by Orde-Lees that seal and penguin meat be laid in. Wild, in command of the Elephant Island party, declined on the grounds that rescue was imminent. Not wise.

That was with the six crushing vomit filled hours when my gallbladder went bad. Yeah. Only pain I've ever thrown up from. Hit me with the dilaudid and sleep was almost instantaneous.
I did pull a prank on my nurse and I kinda felt bad.
As soon as she started pushing the dilaudid, I acted like I passed out.
As soon as I heard her suck air, my eyes popped open. She then realized I was joking.

Heavy snow and windy conditions in West Michigan led to a 100-car pileup on I-196, with injuries reported. The highway is closed in both directions between exits 62 and 55 near Grand Rapids, and officials say it will likely remain closed for hours:

Around here, a couple of the counties use what they call AmbuBus which is a multi-patient transport bus to help stranded motorists in large pileups. Drivers with disabled vehicles are moved to safer locations like Convention Centers or churches as part of the county's Emergency Operations Plan. Since we have had multiple I40 closures due to shitty driving on snow this year already, the bus is getting quite a workout.

The magnetic field is the wrong direction, z component North, not south (that's ecliptic north/south, not Erf axis, but they're close).
It's trying to rotate, but not doing much.
If the field were negative, same strength as now, it would be lighting up like Christmas tree.

When you get to be 29, you have a decent handle on winter driving, but the idiots around you are the real threat. Even if you hold it together, some jackass can still slam into you.
I always give generous allowances in front, and will tap the brake often to keep jerkwads off my tail. You can see them get pissed and pass me, and then I laugh and say "See you in the ditch soon." Happens quite often.
I've seen two pileups up close. The first one was in front of me, I knew the stretch of highway and was tapping the brakes, clearing my tail, and easing down my speed when it happened and cars started bouncing all over the place. I was unscathed, the cars behind me had room to stop (also I was forcing them to slow down).
The other one was a pickup truck acting immortal losing it, hitting the guardrail and doing a donut right on the interstate and I just held it steady and eased down, passing right by the carnage. Crazy. I cancel and stay home these days.

Toys for kids, warm clothes, books & games to keep occupied. These days probably re-chargeable USB devices and backup batts. I’ve had lots of camp stoves, some that run on gas or diesel, but I always wanted to try the Sierra Zip stove, runs on pine cones, twigs, leaf litter etc with a small battery operated fan blower to get it hot.
I guess they work great.

Flights over the poles may need to be rerouted tonight, or fly at lower altitudes (requiring more fuel). That's because, for the first time since 2003, an S4 solar radiation storm is ongoing!
Solar particles and protons accelerated by an approaching magnetic shockwave (CME) are bombarding Earth. The more of those energized particles, the deeper into our upper atmosphere they can burrow.
Passengers and crew on polar flights may receive elevated doses of ionizing radiation, which can increase long-term health risks (including cancer).
This is also causing a high frequency shortwave radio blackout, which may pose some navigational challenges.
The same high-energy particles can cause problems for satellites

We were cutting across the Kancamagus Highway when it started coming down and the snow was we enough to freeze the road. Everyone slowed down and then just stopped. Driving was too dangerous.
And then we remembered we were in a van with a kick ass stereo and a shit load booze. So opened up the side door, cranked the tunes and threw a party until the road thawed. We showed up at the house we rented with considerably less booze than we started with.

Invoking the Insurrection Act would have one highly beneficial option - using hunter killer teams means and methods used in Iraq and Afghanistan to apprehend these domestic terrorists. Basically the same methods used to get Bin Laden and Maduro. But much easier due to unrestricted movement of the hit teams. Just roll up close, set up sniper overwatch, make a new door with explosives, if anybody is not already on the floor put a few rounds into them, move on to the next room until all cleared. If anyone survived cuff and stuff. Bag and tag the rest. Gather Intel, off to the next target on the list

Lot's of beer and comestibles consumed by a party of 6.
Running on fumes on I-89 from Burlington to Hanover, so we can't take the chance of stopping to pee for fear of running out of gas.
So we slide the door back ... strap the guy in the middle seat in with extra belts, and have him hold onto whoever was willing to hang out the door to relieve themselves.
We roll into Hanover, side door frozen open with an goodly accumulation of yellow ice down the passengers side.

They won't say yes. They won't say no. They just won't answer.
Transgender nosering is, get this, a mentally-ill violent extremist. Tomorrow, leftists will be "Walking out of work" -- well, let's say they're walking out of the place that gives them paychecks for sitting on their asses and scrolling TikTok videos all day -- to "peacefully demand" that everyone in the Trump administration be impeached. Don Lemon asked for "likes and subscribes" as he violated the KKK Act. Mentally-ill leftwing women love firing up the cellphone and taking narcissistic video of themselves emoting and sobbing.

They have been losing on this issue recently and in the past they appealed to "empathy" to align voters with those who want [cheap labor / social services client / D voters ]
They see this as their last stand. An all or nothing shot to get the public disgusted with Trump's tactics. In the past they controlled the narratives ("who will pick our crops", "dreamers", "family separation," "necessary for our economy,"...) but the public got fed up with the crime, low wages, and filth. Now they are trying to reclaim that narrative by pushing chaos to the max and blaming Trump.

Looks like aurora is going to be a bust tonight -- it's always a tease. We're at G4 level geomagnetic "storm" level, but B_z, the component of the CME magnetic field perpendicular to the ecliptic is positive. It's strong, but positive.
You need heap big minus B_z to get aurora, where the solar far field bucks the earth's field.
Now, that can switch on a dime, but ain't gonna get excited.

It's semi-maybe-prostitution.
The guy will pay her upfront to go on the date, and he may be expecting something more than conversation and dinner as a result, but in this scheme the girl can take the money, go out on the date, and then decide to take a Uber home alone if she wants.
It's basically buying companionship for a few hours with no strings attached and possibly sex if she feels like it.

The Popular Front also launched investigations into the just-held election, and found "irregularities" in conservative provinces, requiring a re-vote and - you won't believe it - the revote came in heavily in favor of the Popular Front! What was a razor thing majority was now a super-majority.
Yay election investigations! And then the assassinations got rolling, street fighting and finally the murder of Jose Calvo Sotelo, which kicked off the July Rising.
The complete collapse of law and order spurred a reflexive surge of support for the Army, and the total chaos was why foreign governments hesitated to side with the existing government. There IS a book about it.

- If the guy is just looking to get laid, then great, she's a whore.
- If the guy is looking for long term, he will avoid her because she is making no investment, as she is a whore.
So she will only attract (a) "Johns", or (b) the desperate and unmarryable.
What a weird world. Women hold ALL the cards in life. Attractive women are going through life like Mario with 100 power-ups. Like that girl in Seinfeld at the movie theater.
But it is not enough for them, as whatever they have, they want more. It is not enough to get asked (begged) to go on dates, they now want "date prep" cash. They want to live life for free and then maybe toss you some snizz if they feel like it.
And then they wake up in their 30s with tits down to the belt line and eggs a runnin out and they blew it. Like lottery winners, they bust out and are just bitter hags. OK I am sorry but I am in a mood.

I am not a weeper, and on the very rare times I do weep I don't video it. My nose turns red and swollen, like WC Fields with a cold. The green of my eyes is lovely, however, but not worth it. It is genetic as my grandmothers didn't weep easily, either.
I am a stone cold woman who only gets tears when I laugh super hard and choke.

My people never owned slaves. They did fight to abolish slavery, though. For what should I feel guilt?
Likewise, my people never pushed Indians out of their own territories. Again, why should I feel guilty about that?
Should I apologize to the Natives for white people dragging them out of the stone age? They are victims of becoming modern people, living in the real world. Poor babies.
Not one black american, or indian american for that matter, has been a slave, nor are any of them kept out of any opportunity to thrive. They choose that for themselves. And there are many more poor white folk than folks "of color," so maybe it isn't skin color but choices.

Emails: Fauci Knew That Natural Immunity Far Surpassed the Non-Immunity Conferred by the Covid Non-Vaccine, But Lied to the Public Anyway and Fought for Mandated Vaccinations of the Already-Immune
Trust the Science, Science-Bigots.
Anthony Fauci privately acknowledged "impressive data" showed stronger immunity from a COVID-19 infection than vaccination while publicly pushing mandated shots, newly released documents show. Former President Joe Biden's top pandemic response officials discussed a thorough study from Israel showing the superiority of natural infection in August 2021, simultaneous with the initiation of federal vaccine mandates via an Aug. 24 Pentagon memo, according to documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act by Protect the Public's Trust, indicating officials who helped compel COVID shots had contemporaneous scientific evidence they were unjustifiable for millions of Americans. The officials distorted the evidence in public statements, repeatedly saying vaccination is necessary for immunity. "What does it say about our own institutions that, despite billions spent every year, Americans had to rely on Israeli research for their health information, and that our own officials tried to bury what didn't fit their preferred narrative?" Protect the Public's Trust Director Michael Chamberlain told the Daily Caller News Foundation. "There's been a lot of handwringing about reforms and personnel actions by the new leadership at HHS, but this is just more evidence that the public health bureaucracy was ripe for a thorough housecleaning." The revelation comes amid an ongoing investigation under President Donald Trump's Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Marty Makary into deaths following the COVID vaccines in children and young adults. Further details could uncover whether people died from shots mandated by Biden administration officials aware of their redundancy for people with prior immunity. "This is the evidence right here showing that our nation's scientific leaders were not acting scientifically, and there needs to be accountability," said Stephanie Edewaard Weidle, executive director of Feds For Freedom, to the DCNF. "We in the medical freedom fighting world, we already knew this, but to see it spelled out in these FOIA documents just makes it worse. People lost their jobs and their lives were turned upside down based on the argument that natural immunity was not enough."Just the News:
The Biden administration grappled with research suggesting natural immunity was more effective than COVID-19 vaccination shortly before federal vaccine mandates in 2021, admitting the rigor of the massive Israeli study and worrying it might undermine its promotion of one-size-fits-all vaccination, newly released emails show. The Freedom of Information Act production to Protect the Public's Trust, shared with the Daily Caller News Foundation, gives the most compelling evidence to date that federal officials knew their pending mandates were scientifically shaky yet repeatedly asserted in public -- misrepresenting federal research -- that natural immunity couldn't match vaccine-acquired immunity. The emails add heft to prior claims by a now-former Food and Drug Administration adviser, going back four years, that the feds ultimately rejected natural immunity as an exemption to vaccine mandates for bureaucratic reasons and kept pushing vaccines on all ages and conditions for the sake of simpler messaging, not science. They also reaffirm the glaring lack of rigorous research by U.S. institutions on basic questions about SARS-CoV-2 and treatment outcomes, with many of the most important findings coming from abroad. The abnormally high risk of heart inflammation in young people post-vaccination, for example, emerged from Israeli data and institutions. ... He also said Dr. Anthony Fauci, then-director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told him at a 2023 meeting that the feds didn't target "high-risk groups" for vaccination because that was too "nuanced" and some at high risk wouldn't get jabbed unless everyone was told to do it. ... The newly revealed emails show Fauci telling colleagues including Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, National Institutes of Health Director Francis Collins and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Rochelle Walensky that the Israeli study of nearly 800,000 people, which got wide visibility in Science, was "rather impressive." The study, then a preprint that hadn't gone through peer-review, showed natural immunity was 13 times more protective than Pfizer vaccination against reinfection and 27 times more protective against symptomatic COVID. ...
FDA Commissioner Marty Makary, then a medical professor, mocked the feds for "fishing" for a study to justify its COVID policy on Fox News.
NEW FOIA'd documents show that Fauci privately acknowledged "impressive" data showed natural immunity was more protective than COVID vaccines even as the Biden admin implemented mandates in 2021.

I had natural immunity to Rubella (German Measles) as titers showed with our first son while pregnant. Two years later titers showed that my immunity had worn off. I had the MMP the day after he was born.
While I was not told til my 2nd trimester I was horrified, as I knew a girl born deaf due to her mother having Rubella in her first trimester.
Supposedly I had a "light case" of Rubella when one of my brothers was born and I was a toddler. Due to his birth no one probably paid a ton of attention to me as I was a healthy and crazy little girl.
Some vaccines for childhood are fine. The Hepatitis one I argued against in the 1990's. Had our sons take that vax before college because a pediatrician I trusted advised. No regrets.
I would NOT take any mRNA vaccine, ever. No worries about that at all. The RSV is one and I think RFK,Jr took that off the list.

Re Fauci quote about intimidating people into
dropping their "ideological bullshit" against the mRNA 'vaccine.'
The primary objections to it were not ideological; rtgey were that (i) the vaccine doesn't work, (ii) it's actually harmful and dangerous, (iii) the Wuhan virus was not nearly as deadly as claimed, especially for the young.
The ideology was coming from the other side. And it was a cover for social control and looting vast sums of government money.

I used to joke about the broad spectrum inoculation from swimming in open water.
After research, you are basically restating the Hygiene Hypothesis or Old Friends Hypothesis. Your thinking works if children have access to the coffee pot, but adults are largely unaffected due to immunities picked up earlier in life.
Toxic bacteria is still toxic bacteria. Exposure to small doeses at a time doesn't improve your immune system.

Little tried to convince her to go to the ER. Took her a month to recover, and most of that time, she was bedridden. Her refusal to go to the ER probably saved her life.
When I finally saw her, she looked like hell. Very thin. Had a scarf around her head. I asked Little about it after she left. He explained her hair fell out while she was sick. Jeeeezz.
Through all of this, my son spent hours in close quarters with her. Never got so much as a sniffle. When the lock down madness happened, I figured he and I were already exposed.
I also thought the X would have valuable antibodies in her blood that might serve others. Maybe there would be a national blood drive to meet this pandemic head on. I miss the days when I had hope in government health institutions....

And then he saw what they were doing with the Covid.

In WWI 1918 Influenza, aspirin was new. No antibiotics, either. Unfortunately docs did not dose well & basically killed soldiers with aspirin, trying to control the cytokine storm of inflammation. One doc used baking soda in water. His patients survived, whereas the patients on aspirin became acidotic.
Inflammation is important to keep down & avoid organ damage in flu or stupid covid, which I have had at least twice.
I will now take aspirin.
In a normal virus a bit of a fever is good with neutrophils (white cells) eating the virus. Our sons had a mystery virus of no symptoms but super high fevers in elementary school. I am pretty sure I was alone telling sons to imagine PAC MEN as their neutrophils as I dosed them and cold compresses to their foreheads. They would agree their mother was never boring but pretty weird.
This is called phagocytosis.Not faggy at all
Aspirin did work for birth control to keep one between my knees (not really as I did not date much). I read it or to take it with a Coke. Something to do with a Coke (which does cure headaches with Advil). The End.

I didn't get the clot shot either. When I went in for my kidney stone removal I was afraid they would give me one when I was under. I filled out paperwork under duress from pain and checked no under the question whether I had the shot. I would have lied and said yes if I had thought about it.

Aspirin is an anti-inflammatory, and caffeine is a vasodilator (makes the capillaries expand). Both of those help with headaches. I had a GF who would do both in large amounts for her migranes.
Nicotine can help too, it can reduce the allergic response that can lead to a bad reaction (I think cytokines but I forget) that will also lead to inflammation.

And being a vengeful man, he circled back to imply the Trump administration anti-LGBTQ...("In addition to purging leadership at NIH and FDA, Kennedy ordered cuts to a range of divisions focused on HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases — the area where Fauci first gained prominence as a leader of the government’s response to the AIDS epidemic. The moves follow a crackdown already underway on grants related to Covid and vaccine hesitancy.")

Kurt Schlichter responds to the blackpillers who never stop claiming we're being sold out.
Kurt SchlichterConservatives have been out of power for our entire lives. And yes, that includes when "Republicans" are in power. We've defaulted to a standard operating procedure of crying "betrayal" and prophecizing doom. But this is wrongheaded when we actually have people in office who actually listen to us and agree with us. The blackpilling is politically toxic, as it teaches us that any effort is pointless because we are doomed to lose, and on personal level, it must by psychologically destructive. I have my own problems with Trump but the idea that he's "selling us out" on his signature issue is silly. From time to time he may be too cautious -- for example, many of us are wondering why he hasn't already invoked the Insurrection Act -- but he's not "selling us out," Bush style. Meanwhile, even the NYT admits that blue cities and states are causing all of this chaos and violence themselves by not simply turning over violent repeat-criminal illegal aliens to ICE when the government politely asks for them.
@KurtSchlichter Let me do the competent lawyer thing again. No, the DOJ has not arrested anybody yet. You are absolutely correct that that is not happened yet. That's because this isn't a TV show and the DOJ under @AGPamBond and @AAGDhillon are attempting to actually build cases rather than get one new cycle of coverage. Yes, there's evidence out there. There's video tapes. That's good evidence. But the existence of good evidence is not building a case. This is going to be one where they're going to face a judge and a jury pool that is biased against them, so they're going to need to do every single thing perfectly. That doesn't happen in five seconds. Stop with this crap. This black pilling nonsense is freaking idiotic. You want to use the legal system, at least that's what you say. Well if that's what you mean then it's going to take time and all your frustration and crying and whining about it doesn't change that fact. If you want to do it right, you've got to do it right. That doesn't mean doing it fast. Just stop it.

If it is so important that we impoverish ourselves supporting the poor, then why isn't the atheist doing the same? Instead he is yelling and screaming like a toddler denied a popsicle. But somehow, he is a better person for that.
Lock up all of these miscreants. I know we have the tech to do so. Look at J6.

I still remain confident (w/o knowing for sure) that these KKK-era laws also have provisions for jury (and judge) nullification of charges.
Where they acquit against all the evidence merely because of their illegal sympathies for the defendant.
There has to be a provision that allows charges for civil rights violations which can be brought in a different jurisdiction.

As to the absence of significant prosecutions to date, I think Trump's scrupulous observance of legality and procedure is commendable, but he should have a care about falling prey to scrupulosity - that's something else altogether.

Note well the case of the 6 US attorneys who resigned.
They were trying to take a six-month paid vacation.
That is, use their accrued leave as vacation time--rather than, resign and be paid fully out--thus, staying "employed."
Two pay checks.
Because, that would have prevented the hiring of a replacement (without additional funding, they can't; they've only appropriations for that job.).
And it makes clear his announcement of the fraud investigation in MN wasn't a kick-off of a bigger investigation but was done in order to "get ahead of" the actual investigation.
That is, by him opening it, he gets to control the pace.
To slow it down to dead stop.
Which his "vacation" was going to drag to a stand-still until mid-summer at the earliest.
And the entire DOJ is rotted through with those kind of employees, lying in wait.
That anything is happening at all is a miracle.

I know in our church there are protections in place. I don't know what they are, but I am assured they are protecting us in Mass since the last tranny murders.
I also know I would run into a knife or machete or gun to protect innocent grandchildren. I have no doubt.I would be a distraction. I've lived a great life and would die in a second for them.

A lot of churches have security teams and/or actual off duty cops. Most spree killers want to run up the count so they tend to avoid such churches and look for easy targets. Bringing in a backpack to service and being some dweeb not known to church members is likely to get some attention.
As long as the doors are shut to the outside but can be opened from the inside at key egress points (think fire laws compel this anyway), wise to shut them during services.

And many of those losses are being appealed. Those resist judges are losing on appeal over 50 percent of the time and at Scotus 84 percent of the time.
Scotus losses are permanent as they set precedent in a way that applies to all circuits and districts, not just the red ones.
DEI Resist injunctions etc. are being tossed/dissolved at a high rate because appellate courts can see no legal reasoning behind most of those decisions.

Sad, sad, sad. I lived in Virginia for many years, and I remember when it was more or less reliably red. When I moved to Fairfax County in 1996, we even had a Republican congressman. But the state has, indeed, been plagued by GOPe pusillanimity, and I feel sorry for the normies who must be feeling overwhelmed, by now. Maybe the western counties should take West Virginia up on its offer to incorporate them into the Mountain State.

Yep. Ours has police officers who attend, and I see one now and then with a wire or something near his ear as I leave. One parks their police car where anyone will see it first when parking.
Plus prayers of protection for our grandchildren's private school and this church every night.
Many cowboys and real men in the congregation. Plus one crazy redneck woman (me). All is well.

I don't owe these people anything, including patience. I'll judge them on results alone. When they have some, I'll give credit where credit is due. If they expect applause for tweets and television appearances in the meantime, they'll have to look elsewhere. I've lived with the gap between Republican words and deeds for decades.
And it largely continues.
Here's an easy one: send people who defy Congressional subpoenas to jail. You know,

Because teh GOP was in on it. They had no intention of resisting because that would interfere with their grift.
Trump checked out and figured out it is easy to do a hostile takeover of an existing party than it is to stand up a new one. UK is an example of that. So he is starting from the administration and picking off the GOPe as he goes. Sen Cassidy in Lousiana got blindsided by Trump endorsing a new female face to replace that treacherous snake.
Cassidy's paymasters in Big Pharma and Big Medicine are already irritated that Sec. Kennedy is destroying decades of their nasty lobbying in only one year.
So maybe both he and Murcow will go in exile this next election season.

I understand all that, but the key is screening people coming in to identify the unknown/dweebs/potential risks. Whether or not the doors are locked doesn't seem to matter. A potential bad actor is actually more likely to get past whatever screening is in place when the doors are unlocked and there is greater traffic flow.

Like the cartel judge there in MN with her illegal "I order the federal government not to do that which is already prohibited." And then flat-out lied that the protestors were not attacking ICE.
But, she knows it will be misread by the smellies as "ICE can't arrest protestors no matter what."
IDK if the DOJ has even appealed it.
But, it was kinda funny for ICE to say, "yeah, we're already not doing that which is prohibited--but we're for sure going to arrest those who get violent or impede. That ruling doesn't apply."

Because the legal profession for the last twenty years or so has become leftist. So those on the right have to be perfect in their case presentation while those on the left argue politics instead of the law at the district court level.

Especially since these same whiners are up in arms about the construction going on at one of the main intersections in the area. It's taking the poor dears 4 or 5 traffic light cycles to get out of the neighborhood in the morning. Never mind that there are ample opportunities to take alternate routes out - we live in a neighborhood built on a very nice grid of streets, all of which can be accessed, and all of which will get you out of the neighborhood.

And that undercuts Abrego at the 4th Circuit and makes it more likely that Scotus, if the 4th does not chuck his worthless ass, gets overruled and district judges across teh nation are barred from considering deportation cases.

No, the DOJ has not arrested anybody yet. You are absolutely correct that that is not happened yet. That's because this isn't a TV show and the DOJ under @AGPamBond and @AAGDhillon are attempting to actually build cases rather than get one new cycle of coverage.
I don't know, maybe kiss my ass? Remember J6? The one that dem scumbags called an insurrection worse than pearl harbor? Did anybody give a fuck about building cases?

William Kelly, a well-known leftist agitator, charged into Cities Church on Sunday as Don Lemon livestreamed the crime.
After storming the church, William Kelly taunted Bondi.
“Yesterday, I went into a church with Nikema Armstrong and I protested these white supremacists!” he said. “The pastor of the church is a f*cking ICE leader in the city?!”
“They want to come after me? F*ck em!” he said. “F*ck those f*cking Nazis! Come and get me, Pam Bondi! You f*cking traitorous b*tch!”

That's not a Mid-Term Prediction.
It is a prediction of the final tally of Representative apportionment once the Illegal Aliens are ushered out for the 2030 census.
So, +30 for Red States if numbers of illegals deported hold steady at 2025 rates over 4 years of Trump.
That does not account for a Dem admin re-flooding the zone for 2 years, though.

Nope, I have faith in people, not systems which have failed us. GOPe has faith in systems. But if you note, Trump doesn't play that game, he attacks which is why GOPe doesn't like it.
So, I have more faith in Trump and his present crew than I do in the average black pill commenter here. Things are moving on the board but if you only look at the bright shiny things that even the conservative media presents, because it sells, then you might be depressed.
Always go to primary sources if you can for information and be guarded on any secondary source. Especially the rage clicks on social media and other places.
We cannot get back to the past which is an unrealistic goal in the first place, but we can advance, not wring our hands, and move forward.
We are winning to the extent that most people would not have believed this if I told you in 2017 and teh Democrats are losing (down to 27 percent in Gallup in party id now). 1970's it was well over 50 percent.

Not really, in 2007 and 2008 I processed claims for unpaid wages having to do with the housing bust, and it seems the first workers to get stiffed in a collapse are the illegals -- There is a perception that the illegals won't go to the law to get their money.
And that is true, to a point.
They are the most disposable
On the other hand a friend of mine had two contractors suddenly "go on vacation back to Mexico for a week or two" at the beginning of this winter, and never came back to complete the job he hired them to do, so there is some action happening in the lower end of the trades.

There were a lot of drivers that shot people. The one guy in a car in TX, if I recall, got jammed up but later got off, as it was a pretty blatant case of a rioter carrying an AK and pointing it at him.
Another dude in TX on foot smoked a commie trying to brain him with a skateboard and was not charged.
Someone got hosed in Seattle; random nobody driving to/from work when a crowd tried to beat him. But you have to expect the blue shitholes will always charge you. Either don't live there, or don't defend yourself... or DO defend yourself and understand the local government is party to the assault and act accordingly.
Note that as things dial up, antifa starts having guys with firearms waiting to shoot drivers. Dude in... SLC? Got shot that way. Stay away from commies unless it's helicopter time.

Trump won 84 percent of cases at Scotus last year. DEI is dying. Troonism is likely to be rolled back at Scotus. Our military is back pulling off missions that scare the shit out of our adversaries.
We are winning, but if you spend time on rage articles even in conservative media, you forget to count the blessings and winnings that we do have.

This blackpiller knew the Don was serious because he had Musk and Homan on board during the campaign - then brought on an All Star Cast. Trump has always been terrible at judges and DOJ appointments, so I knew that Law & Order would be Trump's kryptonite.
I'm blackpilled because I can compartmentalize and recognize Wins and Losses, and celebrate and whine accordingly. The cultural rot has been going on for generations and the basic ingredients for a successful Constitutional Republic has deteriorated or has withdrawn into nothingness.
The US would need a war time consigliere who would surrender his dictatorial role once an achievable objective has been made. That ain't happening. Thus the blackpill.

Now, as of late 2025, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is experiencing a historic surge in retirements, with the retirement application inventory (the "queue") closing in on 50,000 applications awaiting finalization.
If they can't run the federal government as they please, they'll destroy it and run it through the ghost government. It was always the plan for Trump administrations.
However, the federal agencies are now incompetent after more than a decade of nonsence & there's little chance of recouping.

You have to look at that from a current events perspective. A vast majority of DC employees learning the term "down sizing" live in Fairfax, Arlington, and Prince William counties, Virginia. They don't live in a vacuum. Everyone they come in contact with will get the story of how they were "unfairly" discarded by the current administration and so on down the line. They'll leave out the part about redundancy and incompetence, and partisan.
As an example. I have a friend who owns a catering business that serves that region, and they do a lot of those cocktail parties we love to hate. She has always been a Conservative, or at least right leaning person. NOW, however, the catering jobs are waning. The griping of her customers about the current administration is incessant, and she likes alot of these people regardless of their politics. She sides with them now.

Yep. Our country was set up on vicinage. That is because colonists during the later stages before independence were hauled up to courts in England or Nova Scotia at Halifax, a major British military base to be tried. So our Constitution requires people to be tried in the district where they committed the crime with a jury drawn from that location. And that means a local DA has to oversee charges, the grand jury, etc. And leftist blue shithole senators are blocking any Trump nominees by the blue slip procedure in the Senate Judiciary. That means that under the existing law, the judges in shithole blue states that got those seats due to the blue slip policy winnowing out conservatives, then pick the DA (Trump is challenging that in court as that law runs afoul of recent court decisions on appointments). See NJ and VA for those examples.

DOJ is still full of saboteurs. As is State. Not to mention the so-called intelligence community. And don't even get me started on Congress.
I knew coming in that Trump was going to be surrounded by traitors, and what he might manage to get done will be a blessing. But it's not about being "black pilled" to say he's up against an entrenched system, and doesn't stand much of a chance of making the changes most Americans want permanent.

Funny that the modern Ft. Sumter-type event is being led by Governor Flamboyatard and an army of AWFLs.

I'm not sure if the AWFLs in MN are any less emotional than the Confederates and Citadel cadets in Charleston firing cannonballs at Ft. Sumter.
They both seem to be operating on delusions of grandeur that turned tragic in the end.

It is. Yes, it is illegal under U.S. federal law to knowingly hire or continue to employ an individual who is not authorized to work in the United States. This is a key provision of the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) of 1986.
So that's why the US State & Labor Departments gave out certain visas like trading cards. And that's also why another branch of the Federal gov. created Temporary Protected Status.
And why no one or no agency involved with Maryland seemed to get in trouble for the massive bridge collapse killing several foreign labors working up on the bridge's deck.

Arrest democrats and their supporters. Pin 30 felonies on them for each illegal act. Throw them in prison indefinitely pending trial. And put them in front of OUR judges and OUR juries.

"Protesters" Now Assaulting Random People on the Streets of Minneapolis Hunting for ICE Agents and Invading Churches
Major Error: I had intended to fix a typo in this post, but I accidentally put it back into draft. So apparently this post was only up for five minutes, and there was no new content on the blog until 1:30.
Sorry. I'm going to put this post back up for a while. ...When leftists passed the FACE Act, to make it illegal to protest outside an abortion clinic, jackass Republicans went along with it, but insisted that it also make disrupting/"protesting" a church service as well. (I say they're jackasses because they didn't block this law entirely.) Leftists are now violating the FACE Act that Biden used to throw peaceful protesters in jail. LOCK. THEM. UP. Before that: Via John Sexton, the DOJ has subpoenaed Walz, Frey, and other Minnesota officials. They're looking for evidence that these men are violating federal law by conspiring to block federal law enforcement efforts.
They also should be investigated for refusing to arrest antifa and other violent anarchists for attacking citizens in the street:
DOJ investigating Gov. Tim Walz, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey over alleged conspiracy to impede immigration agents The Justice Department is investigating Minnesota officials, including Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, over an alleged conspiracy to impede federal immigration agents, an extraordinary escalation in the Trump administration's clash with Democratic leaders there, multiple sources familiar with the matter told CBS News. One of the sources, a U.S. official, said the investigation stems from statements that Walz and Frey have made about the thousands of Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers and Border Patrol agents deployed to the Minneapolis region in recent weeks. Subpoenas are likely to be issued in the probe, sources familiar with the matter told CBS News. ...
Walz and Frey, both Democrats, have vocally denounced the federal deployment to the Twin Cities, accusing federal agents of creating chaos and undermining public safety through aggressive tactics. Earlier this week, Frey said the federal deployment had created a situation that was "not sustainable." "We're in a position right now where we have residents that are asking the very limited number of police officers that we have to fight ICE agents on the street," Frey said. "We cannot be at a place right now in America where we have two governmental entities that are literally fighting one another." ... Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, who visited Minneapolis with FBI Director Kash Patel on Friday, appeared to make a vague reference to the investigation earlier this week. "Walz and Frey- I'm focused on stopping YOU from your terrorism by whatever means necessary. This is not a threat. It's a promise," Blanche wrote on X earlier this week.

@redsteeze So to catch you up on events: - Protest group chased two innocent dudes out of a diner. - Attacked an innocent guy on the street who was actually with them. - Harassed an innocent guy with an SUV and demanded to see his ID. - Blocked an innocent guy because of his rental car plates - Have now stormed into church services. And I haven't seen a single Minneapolis police officer in any of the previous week's video footage.

Don Lemon is explicitly stating that his intent in storming this church during Sunday services was to traumatize the participants.
— Andrew Branca Show (@TheBrancaShow) January 19, 2026
He's just confessed to terrorism.
Hey, @AAGDhillon, you catching all this? https://t.co/HwQAgfWBp3
Andrew KolvetLemon is now talking tough to the "right wing fake media" insisting he didn't violate the FACE act because he was Making a Journolizm, but his statements before he illegally invaded the church make it clear that he was just another scumbag antifa protester. Just one not wearing a mask. This makes it cleat that Lemon was present as part of the "protest," not a disinterested "journalist." The woman he's kissing is the lead organizer of the illegal protest.
@AndrewKolvet Three thoughts for Don Lemon: 1 - He's an unserious clown. 2 - He would have never barged into a Mosque and live-streamed a "protest" if Muslims were involved. This was a direct attack on Christians. 3 - This is what a FACE Act violation is: "FACE Act violations involve using force, threats, or physical obstruction to interfere with access to places of worship. The FACE Act makes it illegal to intimidate, injure, or obstruct patients, providers, or religious attendees." Don Lemon and his comrades deserve to be investigated and charged.
This is Don Lemon giving the organizer of the event a kiss on the cheek before interviewing her. He was totally in on it. He intentionally made sure not to disclose any details of the operation so people wouldn't get tipped off. https://t.co/IdaeFU0F3n pic.twitter.com/o0wZHnSLHZ
— Chuck Ross (@ChuckRossDC) January 19, 2026
Disgraced former CNN host Don Lemon colluded with anti-ICE activists now under investigation for storming a Minnesota church on Sunday--a "clandestine" operation that Lemon helped keep secret ahead of time before publicizing it once it began. Lemon, who was fired from CNN in 2023 over mistreatment of female colleagues, accompanied Minneapolis lawyer Nekima Levy Armstrong on "Operation Pull Up" at Cities Church in Saint Paul to protest the ICE shooting earlier this month of 37-year-old Renee Good. According to Armstrong, the operation targeted Cities Church because an associate pastor is allegedly the acting director of Saint Paul's ICE office."Pull up" is black slang for get into someone's face, challenge them to a fight, or to threaten them.
The "journalist" turned off his cameras so as not to reveal his "subjects'" plans and strategy. That doesn't sound like a "journalist."
"We show up somewhere that is a key location," Armstrong told Lemon in an interview prior to the event. "They don't expect us to come there. And then we disrupt business as usual." Lemon, who kissed Armstrong on the cheek at the beginning of their interview, accompanied the activist and others, including Saint Paul school board member Chauntyll Allen and members of Black Lives Matter Minneapolis, from its staging site in a Dollar General parking lot to the church. At the church, Armstrong and her cohort disrupted the service with shouts of "ICE Out!" and other slogans. The pastor targeted in the operation was not present at the church on Sunday. The Department of Justice is investigating the incident, and there are growing calls on social media to arrest Lemon. Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division Harmeet Dhillon said Sunday that she is investigating the incident for a potential violation of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, which makes it illegal to block access to houses of worship. Dhillon also took a swipe at Lemon, writing that his "pseudo journalism" is not protected by the First Amendment. "You are on notice!" she wrote. Lemon responded to Dhillon's remarks, distancing himself from Armstrong's organization. ... A review of Lemon's live feed shows he was an enthusiastic supporter of "Operation Pull Up," even as he at times denied being a participant. Lemon opened his live stream saying he had conducted "some reconnaissance" and had been speaking to an organization "that's gearing up for resistance and protest." Lemon said he had been "pleasantly surprised seeing the community coming together" in the wake of Good's shooting. "These are resistance protesters that are planning an operation that we're going to follow them on," he said. "I can't tell you exactly what they're doing." But he described it as an operation "where they surprise people, catch them off guard, and hold them to account." "Because they are strategizing, I don't want to get too much of their information there," said Lemon, also admitting that he "turned my camera off" at one point to avoid publicizing the "secret" plans.
Read the whole thing. I mean Harmeet Dhillon. She should read the whole thing and write up an arrest warrant based on it.
He thanked Armstrong for inviting him to join the event. After the operation, Armstrong thanked "all of the activists who showed up + independent journalists," listing Lemon and others. Inside the church, Lemon sought to cast himself as a neutral journalist observing the foray. ... But moments later, Lemon praised the tactics of "Operation Pull Up." "That's what I believe when I say everyone has to be willing to sacrifice something," he said. "You have to make people uncomfortable in these times. You have to be willing to go into places and disrupt and make people uncomfortable."

If Don Lemon was doing actual journalism instead of propaganda pre-approved by the Bolsheviks, then Antifa would have mobbed him, beaten him, and stolen his equipment.
When I hear this mob of human scum ranting, making threats, and chanting, I'm thinking this must have been what the original Russian Bolsheviks sounded like. And all the equivalent gangs that came after them, around the world. This is what it looks like.

One of the most alarming realities that has been revealed, notably during Trump's first Presidential campaign, is that in Democrat-controlled cities, the police are not coming. They'll stand and watch peaceful conservatives or anyone else get mobbed and beaten, and only step in when the non-crazy people defend themselves. Or, as in Minneapolis, disappear like little bitches altogether. These are their orders.

2. Obscure the Objective Deploy smoke to blind enemy observation and conceal friendly movement.
3. Breach the Obstacles & Secure the Initial Penetration
4. Assault & Seize Initial Positions
5. Exploit the Penetration & Destroy the Position
6. Consolidation, Reorganization & Defense

_____________________________
This brings back an MLK memory. Back when they were first lobbying for Martin Luther King Day to be a thing, I was living in New Hampshire at the time. NH was one of the last states to accept the new holiday. So, whenever I traveled to other states (Massachusetts, NY, Vermont) I could count on my car being vandalized due to the NH plates. MLK Day hijinx cost me four separate deductibles (so $2,000)...and usually some snide comment from the minority police officers if they bothered to respond to my call at all.
Those are my only fond memories of MLK Day. And, going forward, I made an effort to work harder on that particular holiday instead of taking a day off.

"It is pure EVIL for people to stop the arrest of child predators." 💯
It got so bad even an ICE agent SCOLDED the Left for obstruction: "We're here to arrest a child s*x offenders, and that vehicle is impeding our investigations while we're trying to arrest a child s*x offender. THAT'S who you guys are protecting. INSANE!"
DHS also just said there are two predators AT-LARGE after an ICE operation in St. Paul raided their address - but the criminals weren't there.

Federal arrest warrants have to come from judges if the federal agent did not directly witness the lawbreaking. That is because all federal charges have to be routed through grand juries per the Bill of Rights. Civil do not but this is not a civil case, yet because both the KKK act and FACE act are criminal laws.

Great news, but why KKK and not also FACE? I wonder if it's because FACE usually applies to assholes blocking access to a church, as in preventing people from going inside. Here, the people were already inside the church. Seems a minor difference at best.

Thousands run wild? Based on the pics and vid I've seen, it looks like a few dozen assholes. There seem to be more media types and wannabe influencers in the crowds than actual rioters. I think that's why Trump is being cautious with Insurrection Act. This isn't anywhere near the mass rioting during the Summer of Saint George.
Posted by: Judge Elric The Blade at January 19, 2026 03:57 PM (iFTx/)
However, seems obvious the crowd was itching for a response, such as Don Lemon telling the pastor to not push him , when you can clearly see the pastor is leaning away while Lemon is aggressively in his face.
This is why we need arrests soon: there has to be a clear message that churchgoers won’t be bla of or defending themselves, as local police have done repeatedly with other non-protesters who are attacked (see comment about Nick Sortor above).

The KKK Act makes it illegal to threaten, hurt, or intimidate people to prevent them from exercising their God-given rights.
HARMEET DHILLON: "The Klan Act is one of the most important federal civil rights statutes. Its a law that makes it illegal to terrorize and violate the civil rights of citizens. Whenever people conspire this, the Klan Act can be used."
"Everyone in the protest community needs to know that the fullest force of the federal government is going to come down and prevent this from happening and put people away for a long time."

Good point. But, they will not suffer or be made penniless like the Jan 6 martyrs.
Because the left will protect them with legal defense funds. They won't pay a dime for their defense, and they won't spend any time in pre-trial confinement, because they will be released with no bail, or their bail will be paid by a NGO.
So...
We must either find a way to strike at these NGOs and take them out somehow... Or create our own parallel legal defense funds for our own when ours get arrested.

We are on the same team. I say this that any church had NOTHING to do with the stupid lesbian getting shot blocking ICE.
I have no problem, at all, defending or giving my life to save my grandchildren, sitting on the pew next to me. In fact, I have even thought of this (which I consider to be sad) in the event a tranny with a gun comes in firing.
I simply want to spare my grandchildren. They are too young for violence & fear & I want to keep them this way.
If you wanted details of me defending my faith, you should ask a crowd of 300 in FL what I did when the main branch of that denomination wanted gays in the pulpit. I never thought I'd have to defend my faith IN CHURCH. Yet I did.
Don't read what I said as skewed that I am a coward, as I have no doubt I will die to protect.

Three, the money that funded the fraud is from the taxpayers.
So... how exactly is this going to work? Us taxpayers should turn ourselves in for unknowingly funding a insurrection in Minnesota? Really?

Illinois Governor (and Possible Presidential Candidate) JB Pritzker Signs Law Sealing Criminal Records to Protect Illegals from Deportation by the Feds
And also, as many people observe, to stop people from immediately looking up the criminal histories of the next scumbag to kill an innocent citizen. No more "arrested 58 times previously" headlines in Illinois.
They won't stop crime. In fact, they'll promote it. But they will stop you from noticing crime.
Governor JB Pritzker
@GovPritzker Jan 16 Today, we're empowering those seeking a second chance. With my signature, Illinois will create an automatic process to seal the criminal records of those convicted of non-violent crimes. We're opening up opportunities for those re-entering society to live healthy, stable lives.
Grok:
Illinois Governor Signs Clean Slate Act to Seal Nonviolent Records
Last updated Jan 18 Governor JB Pritzker signed the bipartisan Clean Slate Act on January 16, automating the sealing of nonviolent criminal records for about 1.7 to 2.2 million eligible residents. It covers misdemeanors after two years, certain felonies after three or more, and petty offenses twice yearly, while excluding serious crimes like murder, sex offenses, and DUIs--law enforcement keeps full access. Supporters like Rep. Jehan Gordon-Booth call it justice and redemption, citing higher wages and lower recidivism; critics including Republican lawmakers argue it protects repeat offenders and burdens background checks. The law phases in from June 1, 2026, with a task force monitoring impacts through 2034.

Commissioner Sean Morrison
@SeanMMorrison Jan 17 JB Pritzker and Illinois Democrats passed laws allowing millions of criminal convictions to be sealed. This isn't "reform" it's protecting criminals over citizens. The result?
• Employers can't fully vet who they hire
• Landlords can't properly screen renters
• Businesses can't assess real risk
• Citizens lose basic transparency and protection from scammers Public safety depends on truth and accountability, not hiding criminal histories to satisfy ideological talking points. Once again, Illinois democrats puts ideology first, and everyday citizens pay the price.
COVERUP: Non-citizens with criminal records are deportable but if their records are sealed most can stay. Illinois’ Clean Slate Act is designed to help non-citizen criminals become Democrat voters. pic.twitter.com/0s9ciaC8or

The "KKK Act of 1871" (formally the Enforcement Act of 1871):
A crucial piece of Reconstruction-era legislation ... making it a federal crime to interfere with civil rights, allowing presidential use of the military, and holding state officials accountable for civil rights violations, all under the umbrella of enforcing the 14th Amendment.
Key Provisions & Significance:
Federal Enforcement: It made interfering with voting rights and other civil liberties a federal offense, targeting Klan violence like intimidation, conspiracy, and masked terrorism.
Presidential Power: Authorized the President (Ulysses S. Grant) to use federal troops to enforce the law and suspend habeas corpus if necessary.
Holding Officials Accountable: Made state officials liable in federal court

As I read it, it's ongoing in the sense that after a certain period of time, certain convictions are sealed. So if you're convicted of Crime X that's eligible for sealing after 3 years, then after 3 years it's sealed. If you later commit another crime, that wouldn't get sealed until the time for that crime elapsed.

This. The majority of "non-violent" drug offenses were in fact violent. It's just that the perp pleaded to the drug offense in exchange for dropping the violent offense. Literally every drug bust also includes guns, but those gun offenses are almost always dropped in the plea.

What's cute is the new Moon photobombing the GOES CCOR-1 images. The instrument is sensitive enough it sees the Moon lit up from the earth shine. As it gets close to the center, they tamp down the sensitivity as that's where the corona gets brighter, so you'll see the Moon as a black disc.

Should be interesting to see what the government records agencies report after a criminal history search. For example, informing the searcher that prior convictions/arrests were under seal is one thing. It's quite another if the search results report "No records found" after sealing.

No, you either have it, or you don't. You can become an electrical installer and run romex and shit, but you actually need to understand electricity to be an electrician. I've worked with hundreds of guys and gals that never worked on a live circuit and they get bit. Know your role.

Say Illinois seals the record after 3 years.
What then happens to the X account(s) that do daily reporting of people, complete with mugshuts and full names? Or external websites that track and post the same information? Newspaper articles? Nationally-syndicated news?
Does Pritzker go to the EU and have them send out a sternly-worded letter to delete all instances of the data?
Or is there now a new market to track this information, externally, before the Dems go all Orwell on history?

or if they committed 20 crimes. If it is a "second chance" law, then all but first time offenders should have their crimes revealed to the public. This is a 20th chance law.

Which raises an interesting question - you are asked about whether you've been arrested or convicted of a crime when you renew your green card every ten years.
If your records have been sealed by the local authorities, can you legally say "no"?

Later on, oh say 20+ years later, he attempted to renew that license again, and Illinois put an alert out that he had 'issues' in Illinois that needed to be addressed and couldn't renew until those issues were resolved.
We attempted to take care of things, but Illinois rejected every attempt and he was never able to renew his license after that.
But it's good to know illegals can continue to pillage that shithole for eternity.

The top posting at the moment:
Is anyone else in the ICE war zone saddened and disappointed by how few family and friends have reached out with concern, caring, or even interest?
I'm seeing this across my circles. Folks are saying "nobody's even bothering to call or text." It's hard to know whether it's shame, fear, or sympathy with ICE.
I can say that in a lot of cases this is likely to quickly become the last straw. The uncomfortable Thanksgiving with Uncle Fred is going to become, "I'm never sitting around a table with that prick again."
But even worse, many who are mildly supportive, but living in a different cosmos are going to be written off as a callous waste of time. Perhaps it's ignorance. We're finding that even suburban neighbors have no idea how active ICE is within less than a mile of their homes. (Just look at the daily Iceout maps!)
Here they are, FIGHTING FASCISM, and everyone else in the country is callous enough to think that they are nuts.

Deport the politicians and have them apply for re-entry.
Put the politicians in jail (as they did citizens Jan6) and have them (their expensive lawyers) prove why they should be released.

In Dec 2024 one of my late brother's best friends, & a friend of mine, answered my email with photos of grands,that "He was sure I was as horrified as he was that Trump won." Due to "women's healthcare."
I could have lied about my vote but I didn't. He knew from his mother that I supported his daughter's abortion due to the baby having ancephalopathy a decade ago. At 20wks he had to drive her from WV to IL "in a blizzard." I told him it was good that she got care there as they were more experienced with this type of procedure. He knows I am anti-abortion. I have to admit I don't know what I'd do if my baby only had part of her brain.
I have known him since he was 7yrs old to my 9yrs. Somehow he & his younger sister have become radical haters of anyone, including me, who voted for Trump. We are all Nazi, I guess.
I wrote a very nice email back, explaining some of his crap, and that must have been the end.
No great loss, as I haven't seen him since my brother's funeral. Our families were close.

As Part of the VP Candidate Vetting Process, Kamala Harris's Staff Asked Josh Shapiro If He Was a Double Agent for Israel
Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro was already irritated by what he describes as "unnecessarily contentious" questions from the team vetting him to be Kamala Harris's running mate when a senior aide made one final inquiry: "Have you ever been an agent of the Israeli government?" The question came from President Biden's former White House counsel Dana Remus, who was a key member of Harris's vice-presidential search team. Shapiro, one of the most well-known Jewish elected officials in the country--and one of at least three Jewish politicians considering a run for the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination--says he took umbrage at the question. "Had I been a double agent for Israel? Was she kidding? I told her how offensive the question was," Shapiro writes in his forthcoming book, Where We Keep the Light, a copy of which The Atlantic obtained ahead of its release on January 27. The exchange became even more tense, he writes, when Remus asked whether Shapiro had ever spoken with an undercover Israeli agent. The questions left the governor feeling uneasy about the prospect of being Harris's No. 2, a role that ultimately went to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. After Harris and Walz lost to Donald Trump, many Democrats were critical of her decision to bypass Shapiro, the popular governor of the nation's largest swing state. In his book, Shapiro says that the decision may not have been fully hers; he says he had "a knot in my stomach" throughout a vetting process that was more combative than he had expected. Shapiro wrote that he decided to take his name out of the running after a one-on-one meeting with Harris that featured more clashes, including about Israel.The Biden/Harris "antisemitism envoy" objected to the question.
The great thing about America is that an actual paid foreign operative (for Qatar) can become a citizen and five minutes later lecture us on who counts as a loyal American https://t.co/0s65wQLq5S

They are thinking of passing a city ordinance forbidding anyone in Portland from selling arms to Israel, and kicked the only representative of a Jewish publication off of an online press conference denouncing Israel.
It turns out that the big star for the Portland Trailblazers at the moment is Israeli and has served in the IDF, and these people haven't made a peep about it.
Apparently they aren't feeling politically powerful enough yet to start denouncing Portland's basketball team.

I'm rewatching the Victoria series with the luminous Jenna Coleman as the queen. The Brits who were anti German kept accusing Prince Albert of being a secret Papist, apparently. Someone joked that he as going to cross himself when he entered a Church of England cathedral.
I found it ironic, with the rumors that King Charles is now a secret Muslim. Allegedly.
And now in America, you can protest inside and disrupt a church and its ok. Pam Bondi is going to do squat about it, I fear, even though it's a federal crime. What a world!

During WWII, a German-American was more likely to spy for Germany than any other nation.
Same with the Japanese-Americans.
I am well aware that the Japanese-American regiment earned many, many medals for valor in the European campaign. And many German-Americans served loyally in our armed forces.
None-the-less, dual loyalty is a real concern.
Chinese-Americans are more likely to spy for China against us than some other random country.
Now...the dual loyalty charge against Jewish-Americans can and has been used unfairly against them. But it is not something that has absolutely no basis in factual probabilities.

I am pretty sure another 40% of classical art includes naked chicks, especially as goddesses. And I recall a lot of "the rape of..." paintings with Zeus grabbing another woman. And a lot of women reclining on couches in all their natural glory. Artists are randy on good days.
CBD and Kris have plenty of female nudes to use in the art thread! You just have to earn them. And hopefully pert, perky boobs, not the cold, sad boobs like that painting we had recently.

I must rise to CBD's defense, despite his proclivity for 9mm.
CBD is fair and balanced. He posts art to offend all the sub-groups and cliques amongst The Horde, and he posts art that the sub-groups and cliques will find pleasing. Sometimes he posts art in the hopes of broadening our horizons, as Sisyphean as that appears to be.
Today's art was clearly for the 'ettes. It will undoubtedly be discussed on the secret AoSHQ 'ette back-channel for sometime.

We had an R2, moderate radio level, but it's quiet now, but the big one is an S4. Protons are peppering us pretty good. G is quiet, but they're predicting a G4 by the 20th when that CME gets here.

If they're a good muslim, they'll say "No" because Islam commands them to lie to advance Islam.
If they're a bad muslim, they'll also say "No" because they don't really believe all that crap.
So it's sadly a useless question, because no one will ever answer yes as a candidate. (Now, random muslim on the street will be far more truthful, though, as they want to act like conquerors already.)

Arguably, were we able to show Walz, Frey, Newsom, Pritzker etc. purposefully overlooking fraud, or even contributing to it, the Agency requirements would have been met. That allows for the filing of a civil suit in which showing damages is pretty damn easy in that we all presumably pay taxes that end up in the Medicare/ Medicaid/ HHS programs.
There is obvious mismanagement and time will likely show participation.

A crucial piece of Reconstruction-era legislation ... making it a federal crime to interfere with civil rights, allowing presidential use of the military, and holding state officials accountable for civil rights violations, all under the umbrella of enforcing the 14th Amendment.
Key Provisions & Significance:
Federal Enforcement: It made interfering with voting rights and other civil liberties a federal offense, targeting Klan violence like intimidation, conspiracy, and masked terrorism.
Presidential Power: Authorized the President (Ulysses S. Grant) to use federal troops to enforce the law and suspend habeas corpus if necessary.
Holding Officials Accountable: Made state officials liable in federal court

Understand that Portland itself is 600k out of 2.4M. Probably less than 20% of the (expensive!) seats at the blazers games are occupied by city residents. The area is definitely leftist, but the radical population is concentrated in the city proper.
Ignoring that elephant is tactical. The city needs the income generated by the team, the team doesn't need the city. I'm sure that Gresham, Hillsbore, Beaverton, or Tigard would welcome them. Hell, they could move across the river to Vancouver (WA).

Because the FBI is absolutely worthless, arguably counter-productive.
For example: That car that was attacked, raided and the weapons and intelligence was taken without any resistance whatsoever? That was FBI.
No who made the arrests? BATFE.
The FBI is so corrupt, incompetent and traitorous that they practically hand-off select-fire "assault weapons" to gang bangers and self-doxx themeselves and the entire operation.
And the BATFE, the red headed step child of law enforcement, is the one who makes the collar.

THE MORNING RANT - Volkswagen’s Electric Vehicle Misfire: Its Made-In-America, Flagship EV is the Slowest Selling Vehicle in the United States
vehicles, because its flagship electric offering, the ID.4, is the slowest selling car in the United States.
It would take 527 days to sell out the inventory of ID.4s in the United States, making it the slowest-selling vehicle in the country in January, according to metrics from CarEdge.Have you ever heard of the Maserati Grecale? Me neither. It may be obscure and hard to sell, but it turns over faster than Volkswagen’s electric car.
The No. 2 slowest-selling vehicle in the United States in January was the Maserati Grecale.Normal vehicle inventory takes 60 – 90 days to turn, and dealerships have historically targeted a 60-day supply of vehicles to ensure the optimum mix of vehicles without carrying excess inventory. For a vehicle which moves so slow that dealers are burdened with more than a year’s supply, they’d generally prefer to have zero units in stock. On the off chance a customer came in wanting to buy such a slow-moving vehicle, the dealer could easily get another dealer to transfer one. Over the past several decades there has been an economic explosion in the American South, thanks in part to so many auto manufacturers locating plants in the region. In addition to those manufacturing operations, numerous suppliers also established nearby operations, and suppliers to those suppliers sprung up too. The cycle of prosperity and economic activity flows well when manufacturing is strong. Pretty much all the major Japanese, Korean, and German car companies have operations in the southern U.S. It’s a golden goose laying golden eggs. But the EV fever somehow captured the minds of many auto executives and southern politicians, and they pursued EV investments in the South, even though the explicit goal was to kill-off the golden goose of existing ICE auto manufacturing. In 2019, Tennessee’s then-governor, Republican Bill Haslam waxed enthusiastic about killing off ICE vehicles in favor of electric vehicles when he hyped VW’s announcement of a new Tennessee EV plant, “The shift toward electric vehicles is a trend that can be seen worldwide, and Volkswagen’s decision to locate its first North American EV manufacturing facility in Chattanooga underscores Tennessee’s manufacturing strength and highly-skilled workforce.” The state of Tennessee kicked in about $50 million of taxpayer dollars toward this ill-fated EV plant that was built alongside VW’s existing Tennessee plant. Initial expectations were for the EV plant to assemble about 7,000 units per month, with the ability to ramp up to a volume exceeding 100,000 per year. The actual demand has been negligible, averaging less than 20,000 units per year, even with federal rebates and aggressive pricing. But in Q4 of 2025, after the federal EV incentives expired, Volkswagen sold a nominal 248 electric ID.4s. That averages out to just 83 units per month, and annualizes to less than 1,000 units. Volkswagen built a taxpayer-subsidized EV plant that was expected to produce about 10,000 electric vehicles per month, but it cannot even sell 100. The company may have no choice but to scrap the glut of unsold ID.4s, since consumers have made it clear that there is virtually no price at which they’re willing to buy them. The failure of Volkswagen’s EV foray is an overall good thing for the American auto industry. The golden goose of ICE manufacturing lives on. But it is infuriating that politicians wasted taxpayer money on this malinvestment, and it will be especially sad if VW has to pull out of the American market and close its legacy Tennessee manufacturing plant due to the awful EV Gamble.

There is zero chance VW pulls out of USA. VW sells 100s of thousands of vehicles a year here under its own brand, plus 100s of thousands more under its owned brands (Audi, Porsche, Bentley, Bugatti, Lamborghini). VW is one of the largest auto companies in the world.
The EV pill is gonna be hard for all companies to swallow. But swallow it they will.

I owned three different VW models back in the '90s. I loved having and driving the car(s), but the little things drove me f*n crazy.
Doors were a problem on all of them. Over time something would shift on a door and then the damn thing wouldn't close. 1999 Beetle had the gas filler door either get stuck open (you wish) or closed (hope you get it fixed before you run out of gas). Oil temp on the 1997 Passat would intermittently go thermal -- so much so that I couldn't drive barefoot because the pedals were HOT.
Other than all that.....

Yep, that is correct. Jaguar has completely phased out all ICE vehicles save for the F-Pace and moving to an EV-only lineup. The ICE F-Pace will be phased out this year. Bye-bye, Jaguar.
Grok:
In short: Right now in early 2026, the F-Pace appears to be effectively the only new vehicle available from Jaguar in many regions (or the sole one still in active production/sale), as the brand has cleared out most of its old lineup ahead of the electric relaunch. But it's not "the only one" forever — Jaguar's future is all-EV starting this year.

I kept the reduction boxes, as I don't like lowered buses, but installed a "Freeway Flyer" transmission, as the original "crashbox" limited top speed to about 55, so as not to blow up the original 1200 engine. I like the combo and it makes me happy.

On further thinking, hat VW should do is offer the reborn microbus with a Subaru flat six, built under license. All the power you need, and a history of durability. Build a RWD model with no reduction boxes, and an AWD model with reduction boxes and suitable gearing in the front differential to make the wheel RPM's match.
And no damned touch screen! If the buyer wants the optional ($2500) touch screen they also get a big red clown nose welded on the front.

The Republicans' argument goes like this: Democrats reversed Donald Trump’s related first-term executive orders and ensured that noncitizens, including illegal immigrants, were counted into 2020 U.S. Census. Then-President Biden opened the southern border so that millions of illegals could flood the country in just a few years.
Next, liberal nonprofits helped move those migrants from the southern border red states, where they were not particularly welcome, to "sanctuary cities" in Democratic-run cities in the election battleground states and helped them enroll in welfare at the taxpayers' expense.
And finally, Democratic leaders, like failed vice-presidential candidate Minnesota Gov. Tom Walz, they say, failed to act — or even worse, looked the other way — when evidence emerged that non-citizens were defrauding those safety net programs by the tune of billions of dollars. And liberal judges blocked efforts to stop or punish the fraud.

Dodge (Charger Daytona EV): This vehicle uses a "Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust" system. Unlike simple speaker-based systems, it uses a physical exhaust chamber to create a 126-decibel roar that matches the intensity of a Hellcat V8

Frame was a full tube, not a C.
The gas tank had a full 1/2 in metal plate protecting it.
The 355 was a big block engine.
The only downside was, the leaf springs were under the axle, which limited clearance.
Lol, one time, I changed a flat on the rear by intentionally high-centering that side of the axle to raise tire as I didn't have jack.

I watched a YT of a rather scruffy looking black man talking about his all time favorite books. One was Anna Karenina. Got me to thinking about the famous first line, "All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way." I thought black culture including black families were different (and better) than white culture. Or maybe we're basically the same despite some cultural differences and the things that make a functional black family are the same as those that make a functional white families. (Even Russians!)

The Somali-Democrat fraud through fake daycares, nonprofits, and other entities that claimed billions of dollars from government taxpayers, including via Medicaid/Medicare, has shocked our country with its extent. But it’s just the beginning. “What we’re seeing in Minnesota, which is billions of dollars of fraud that hurts our most vulnerable people and puts them at risk … is dwarfed by what I saw in California, which is whole-scale cultural malfeasance around health care,” Dr. Mehmet Oz, the administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), told The Epoch Times.

The obsession with Greenland, so bewildering to US “allies”, derives from America’s need for an Israeli-style “Iron Dome”, which, as the mighty builder of Trump Tower, the President has upgraded to a “Golden Dome”. Why would he seek such a thing? Because in this scenario America’s Israel… and Western Europe is Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria and Iran.
He means that literally, as in Western Europe will be a seething hellhole of Muslim terrorism and religious aggression directed toward the United States.

My "favorite" is, backing out of a parking space, no one else on the lot, but out there... on the main road, cars zooming by... the backup alarm:
DANGER WILL ROBINSON, CARS BEHIND YOU! STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING, ALERT ALERT ALERT!!
Shut. Up. You stupid minge of a vehicle (not my personal vehicle, the company POS).

And so-called “road safety activists” still call for more lights and bells to improve safety.
I’m pretty sure they want more deaths, not less.

I was just listening to Palmer Luckey on Mike Rowe's podcast. He noted that auto safety laws are so explicitly written that we miss out on all kinds of proven-safer things that are already in use in Europe and Asia in favor of, basically, security theater. (And yes, he also made the comparison to TSA).

You can rage about it forever or do something about it, like get a "seatbelt extender" which clicks into the seat belt but isn't one. Originally for fat people, they are a nice workaround to the ding ding ding as the car interprets the seatbelt to be engaged.

This has been a minor obsession of mine ever since the passenger-side pretensioner went out in my 2005 vehicle a few years ago. American cars today are basically airbags that happen to have a car built around them.
Why do we need a pretensioner? Because without it your airbag might kill you. Airbags were initially sold as replacing seat belts. Now they refuse to work if the seat belt isn’t engaged. They refuse to work if the seat belt can no longer be tightened in a crash.
Why are children required to be in the back seat in some states? Because the air bag might kill them.
Even passengers are told that if they’re going to read a book, or write, or browse their tablet, do it in the back seat. Otherwise, your air bag will kill you.
The whole airbag system has become a massive rube goldberg machine locking out any better safety features.

Don Lemon: The Human Equivalent of a Car Alarm at 3 a.m.Don Lemon is what happens when a network decides mediocrity needs a face, a bowtie, and an insatiable hunger for relevance. He spent nearly two decades at CNN perfecting the art of looking gravely concerned while saying absolutely nothing of substance. His signature move was the furrowed brow + dramatic pause combo—telegraphing “this is serious” so hard you’d think he was about to announce the heat death of the universe instead of “Trump just tweeted again.”The man turned sanctimony into a brand. He didn’t report the news; he performed moral superiority over it. Every segment felt like a community theater production of “I Am The Conscience Of America” directed by someone who’s never read a book without pictures. He scolded, he sighed, he shook his head in that practiced disappointed-dad way that made you want to throw a shoe at the television.His most legendary moment?

It’s like OK if NFL is your thing have at it. But stop with the OUTRAGE!!ty every time they do this because it’s obviously not ever going to stop as long as you continue to support it.

I find it boring these days. Most NFL games look like they're fixed, and with gamblers so in bed with them, I'm sure they are.

I'll just agree to disagree. The NFL, and other leagues for that matter, buy into the liberal and Democrat causes because they get the kickbacks, tax breaks and government approval. The NFL is a $9bn PER YEAR industry. Roger Goodell makes $56m a year and has free access to a private jet for he and his family any time they want it.
The NFL pushes BLM, the black national anthem and all the other liberal shit that keeps them solid with the Democrat party.
It's ALL about politics. Society just continue to swallow it hook, line and sinker. They're getting paid by SOCIETY to get the liberal propaganda bullshit shoved down their throats. Therefore, it's an acceptable practice and they'll NEVER change.

If anyone read the post at Insty this morning, the one about the Mexican national (and illegal) who had a slam-dunk arrest for using a vehicle to ram an ICE car and injured people in San Francisco. It went to trial and he was found NOT GUILTY. He had a long rap sheet, too. Didn't matter. The DOJ has to face jury nullification.

Charbonnet and Walker III got the run game going. And Saheed’s opening kickoff return for the TD.
Hopefully Sam gets the Rams out of his head.

The NFL pushes BLM, the black national anthem and all the other liberal shit that keeps them solid with the Democrat party.
It's ALL about politics. Society just continue to swallow it hook, line and sinker. They're getting paid by SOCIETY to get the liberal propaganda bullshit shoved down their throats. Therefore, it's an acceptable practice and they'll NEVER change.

Denver QB Bo Nix was to kneel down after the snap to line the ball in the middle of the field for a straight shot for the kicker to win the game in overtime.
He did and Denver won the game. However, in the process of kneeling, Nix broke a bone in his foot/ankle and is out for the remainder of the season.

Instapundit. The site that told a Marine "no one cares go kill yourself " as the "godfather" hid behind plausible deniability. But I guess even a fake patriot grift can come up with something worth repeating.
I prefer "I would never tolerate a prosecutor who refused to examine exculpatory evidence" for its blatant hypocrisy ofBut invite such a creature to guest blog. Screw principles, get those clicks. That indoor pool won't heat itself
But for this instance: "when the responsible authorities fail to act, other forms of authority will assert themselves. They may not behave responsibly but they WILL act"
Its a warning to avoid mob violence. Our justice system is much more merciful and tends to operate under principles like due process

Whipping Tom of 1681 was the nickname given to a serial spanker in London. He would wait for an unaccompanied woman, grab her, lift her dress and slap her buttocks whiles shouting "Spanko!" before fleeing. Vigilantes would dress in women's clothing and patrol the areas he was known to operate.
Posted by: Mister Ghost at January 19, 2026 10:24 AM (TGPs7)
Pierre Subleyras, French, 1699–1749
"Ferrying the shades" refers to the mythological act of transporting the souls of the dead across a river—usually the Styx or Acheron—into the Underworld (Hades). This task is performed by Charon, the ferryman in Greek mythology.
Wikipedia, "Pierre Subleyras"
This artist created a number of masterpieces in a variety of mediums.
This is a visual treat. (Unless that's a bad butt rash. 😉
I might hang among rotational art.

The ABC test to determine whether someone is an independent contractor, or an employer, under Assembly Bill 5:
A) Truckers must show they control their own schedules
B) Truckers must operate free from a company's direct supervision and run established businesses of their own.
C) (The Gotcha): The relationship between the Owner Operator and the carrier who wants to contract out hauled freight is examined. The Owner Operator (trucker) must be contracted to perform work outside the usual course of the carrier's business.
(C) is, of course, impossible because the carrier's usual business IS moving freight, and the truckers perform that work.
Apparently, yesterday, Newsom caved when the truckers refused to comply, and I gather that the food shortages that Newsom claimed weren't happening became a little too obvious to deny.
https://youtu.be/H50BL_cP3N8
So here's hoping that Newsom has learned an important lesson: Reality is mutable, but you can't shut it up forever. It WILL have its way, and no political magical thinking can change that.

I agree. It's not rife with blatant homosexual overtones. Never mind the lack of faces, like anonymous hookups in a Fire Island bathhouse sauna.. And it's not at all like the shapely butt is geometrically centered in the frame, both top to bottom (SWIDT?) and side to side. All lines direct the viewer's gaze to the center of the universe. And don't forget the implied action. Charon "poling" the Shades. Totes not ghey. You can't see the boat, you can't see the river, you can't see the fires of Hell, so it's obvious the painter wanted to depict a ferry boat ride to Hell and not just a naked ass.

Apparently had to emergency-suspend the stupid rule that forced independent contractors (owner-operator truckers) to have to take work from a contracting company (the carriers) that was outside their normal work.
That is, of course, impossible. Carriers who contract out loads - well, that IS their normal work and line of business. What work outside that scope could they have truckers do for them? Nothing.

> The Buddhists paid with six.
The Greek life was intemperance.
The Buddhist, moderation.
The Greek spends death in Hades,
Buddhists endless reincarnation.
So on that final ferry ride,
Across their river Styx,
A Greek pays with but one coin,
A Buddhist pays with six.

Whipping Tom of 1681 was the nickname given to a serial spanker in London. He would wait for an unaccompanied woman, grab her, lift her dress and slap her buttocks whiles shouting "Spanko!" before fleeing. Vigilantes would dress in women's clothing and patrol the areas he was known to operate.

The Morning Report — 1/19/26
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said that acquiring Greenland is “essential” to U.S. national security and that an impending “fight for the Arctic” is real. “President Trump strongly believes that we cannot outsource our security because … let me tell you what will happen. And it might not be next year, might not be in five years, but down the road, this fight for the Arctic is real,” Bessent began.But as I stated, there are other frozen wastelands much closer to home that if we do nothing about them right here and right now will be our undoing. Let me state it about as plainly as I can. The political leadership of the state of Minnesota, along with an alarming number of the citizenry, have de facto seceded from the Union and have all but openly declared war on the rest of the nation. You can read any of the links in the Civil War section or take in the totality of the headlines alone and that is a warning klaxon louder than a Concorde engine through a Marshall Amp as tall as the Washington Monument at full volume.
It seems that Minneapolis lefties have started patrolling the streets for drivers who happen to be behind the wheel of the same make of SUV as used by ICE and interrogating – not to say threatening – them. This video shows a gaggle of people’s tribunes who have brought an SUV to a stop (the video doesn’t show how) and forced the driver out to explain himself. They surround him, demand that he open the hatch to show them what he has inside, and then commence interrogating him. All that’s lacking are the Mao jackets and the caps with red stars. . . The driver’s attempts to ingratiate himself are almost as annoying: “I really appreciate what you guys are doing.” A century and a half ago, the socialist Commune took control of Paris and immediately started executing people. As they led one businessman to the killing ground, he cried out, “Why must I be shot … I know nothing of politics.” The communard commander replied: “That is why you must be shot.” A century and a half, and they still haven’t woken up. This is the mentality of the Cheka, the Red Guards, the Khmer Rouge – of every last attempt to introduce socialism by force -- out in the open and plain to see. One of the worst things about socialism is the way it empowers, encourages, and unleashes the foulest members of the human community. It can’t be crushed soon enough.Elsewhere, the Neo Red Guards stormed into a church looking for blood:
The demonstrators with the Racial Justice Network stormed into the Cities Church and called out resident pastor David Eastwood, who they accused of moonlighting as the acting field office director for ICE in Minnesota. A David Eastwood is listed as an employee with the field office, but it’s still unclear if that is the same man as the Cities Church pastor. The Post has reached out to the Department of Homeland Security to check.Mistaken identity-Schmidentity! Like the Urine-soaked lice-infested whorehouse mattress AKA Jasmine Crockett, accusing Lee Zeldin of accepting donations from Jeffrey Epstein, who as it turned out was not the infamous Epstein but someone unlucky enough to have the same name. So, they take out the wrong guy, but the message has been sent. Mr. President, there is no alternative but to invoke the Insurrection Act, declare Minnesota in rebellion, arrest Walz, Frey, suspend the state legislature, dissolve Minneapolis' city charter, and appoint a territorial governor and mayor to run affairs and call in the armed forces to patrol the streets and restore order. Anyone who even raises an eyebrow should be arrested for conspiracy to aid and abet insurrection. What are the risks politically? So we lose the midterms and perhaps 2028. The Democrat rigging machine will no doubt be going all out to make what happened in 2020 look like child's play. To let Minnesota get away with this ultimately means we lose the nation. This cannot stand and must not be allowed to stand. President Trump rightly rails against Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants as "the worst president in history" but if Donald Trump fails to set an example of Minnesota, he may go down not merely as the worst president but as the LAST real president in US history because the USA truly will cease to exist. In the years ahead, we may outwardly resemble America, but the spirit of this nation, the Constitution and the rule of a just and stable law based on the ascendancy of 2,000 plus years of Judeo-Christian and western history, culture and morality will come crashing down around us. Hyperbole? You tell me. Have a great day. And lastly, a quick shout-out and a huge thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

Trump & Co recently released a report on US global strategic priorities:
1. Fortress Americas with a latter-day Monroe Doctrine
2. The Far East. We'll try to get China to play nice, but if not see #1
3. Europe. Has lost its way. If they don't find their way back, it's on them. See #1
4. Africa. Benign neglect. See #1
"Greenland" is clearly part of #1.
But it's also #3. Denmark has sovereignty over Greenland only in a nominal way for historic reasons now obscure. You'd think our NATO allies would appreciate our strategic interest and play along. But no.
By sending a token resistance force our NATO allies are proving that the Alliance is long past its expiration.
We should offer Greenlanders the same deal we give Puerto Ricans.
And give every adult a free Polaris snowmobile.
Trump knows how to close a deal.

No. They're going to BUY Greenland. It may take a while but they're willing to take the long view. They've been trying to 'help' the people of Greenland by giving them loans to have Chinese built airports, and harbors, in Greenland.
And Denmark would have no problems, at all, in selling Greenland to China all-in.

China will infiltrate Greenland in much the same way they've infiltrated the US. They'll supply infrastructure projects designed to make life there more bearable. For the US it is readily apparent what China controls here, other than the government to a certain degree.
But, behind the scenes they'll gain control over ports they build, airports they control, the mines they run. All that leads to things like control of the Panama Canal or a puppet state like Venezuela.

Its many things all at once.
No doubt, Greenland is of strategic importance because of its place on the map.
Because of its uniqueness it is a great bargaining chip to use against Europe and our purported NATO allies.
I think there is also something to the fact that it plays to our Manifest Destiny nature. Our country needs something to aspire to. For most of our history it was going westward. Then we had the space frontier. We need something.
Whether we get Greenland or not, we will be in a better position when all this is done.

Most Democrats believe it will animate their base and get them to the polls.
Republican voters have thus far not gotten out in any numbers sufficient to win races since the general election.
You can argue that those are off cycle elections to your own detriment. Especially since mid-cycle elections for the party in power have their own dynamics.
There is also no question illegal immigrants are voting in Blue States with few election integrity measures. Democrats need those votes.
Republicans have done almost zero in Congress to bring election security- which was another reason we elected them. Harmeet is the only one launching lawsuits targeting election security. She stands alone.

It's not, specifically speaking, an initiative.
It's more of a policy. It's coercion wrapped up as payoffs and corruption as China takes, or builds, what China needs in the "belt and road" locations they've focused on.
In regards to Greenland, if China were to gain a foothold they'd be in a prime position to hem in the US military from ever leveraging the Arctic for whatever purposes they'd need.
For example; it's a prime submarine "shortcut" to traverse from Atlantic to Pacific by sailing under the ice. We do it regularly. So do the Russians. The Chinese, not so much. That would change.

There was a discussion in yesterday's Book Thread about Catch-22 and the number of missions pilots were expected to fly.
I poked around some and found a study from the USAF Historical Division on combat crew rotations in World War II and Korea (https://tinyurl.com/bdfr9fpc). Basically, there was never a hard-and-fast number of missions a pilot had to fly before rotating out of combat duties. There were a large number of factors that went into it, like combat fatigue and availability of replacement crews. And, yes, morale.
What's clear is that it wasn't some arbitrary decision made by a local commander. Like a lot of other things that the men at the low level were arbitrary, there were actually at lot of Pentagon analysts looking at the situation and trying to balance operational requirements with resources available.

Same as it was last time Minnesotans started a political riot to undermine Trump... the mindset for the weak-willed centrist normies isn't "I approve of civil disorder and am voting for more of it," it's "the Democrats will quit employing disorder as a political tool if we give them their way." They are voting to restore order.
This is an example Nietzsche would have used to illustrate the natural supremacy of those with a will to power over those with the slave mentality. It's quite pathetic. They're cringing and servile subjects of a criminal master class.

Minneapolis has a Minneapolis Human Rights Department (aka Office of Human Rights) that focuses on city-specific issues, enforces local ordinances, etc.
Several PA counties - Chester, Delaware, Lehigh, Montgomery and Erie - have established their own Human Rights Commissions (HRC) building on the state PHRC but offering community-level enforcement. Bucks County has local townships, such as Doylestown, that have adopted such ordinances, and the City of York, PA has also established a local commission. Reportedly, the local commissions often expand protections well beyond state law to include classes like sexual orientation, gender identify, and more.
Several PA towns & counties limit police collaboration with ICE including Philly, Pittsburgh, Lancaster City, Jenkintown, and State College. Some have adopted "welcoming policies" or have passes ordinances like the TRUST Act.
Reportedly, collaboration has also been limited by Carlisle, Reading, and Allentown, PA and Centre and Dauphin Counties.
How? Via "welcoming policies;" the TRUST Act; no Judicial Warrants, No 287(g) Agreements.

Top Story
- The reason why RAM has become four times more expensive is that a huge amount of RAM that has not yet been produced was purchased with non-existent money to be installed in GPUs that also have not yet been produced, in order to place them in data centers that have not yet been built, powered by infrastructure that may never appear, to satisfy demand that does not actually exist and to obtain profit that is mathematically impossible.

- The mythology of conscious AI. (Noema Mag)
This article gets one important thing right: LLMs are not conscious.In a 2022 interview with The Washington Post, Google engineer Blake Lemoine made a startling claim about the AI system he was working on, a chatbot called LaMDA. He claimed it was conscious, that it had feelings, and was, in an important sense, like a real person. Despite a flurry of media coverage, Lemoine wasn't taken all that seriously. Google dismissed him for violating its confidentiality policies, and the AI bandwagon rolled on.
I commented on that story at the time. Lemoine is a crazy as a sack of rats on crazy pills. And was also completely and very obviously wrong, which is not the same thing.As AI technologies continue to improve, questions about machine consciousness are increasingly being raised. David Chalmers, one of the foremost thinkers in this area, has suggested that conscious machines may be possible in the not-too-distant future. Geoffrey Hinton, a true AI pioneer and recent Nobel Prize winner, thinks they exist already.
Wait. David Chalmers said what?
Huh. He did say that. A mostly sensible article summarising the evidence on both sides, concluding that pure feed-forward LLMs are not conscious but extended LLMs with recurrent processing - feedback loops - could be. (Boston Review)
Back to Noema:Taken together, these biases [anthropocentrism, which is irrelevant, human exceptionalism, which is irrelevant, and anthropomorphism, which is actually the key here - Pixy] explain why it's hardly surprising that when things exhibit abilities we think of as distinctively human, such as intelligence, we naturally imbue them with other qualities we feel are characteristically or even distinctively human: understanding, mindedness and consciousness, too.
A little bit of nonsense thrown in at the start but an accurate description of the problem in the end.
But then it all falls apart:The very idea of conscious AI rests on the assumption that consciousness is a matter of computation.
Which is rather like assuming that water is a molecule made of one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms.More specifically, that implementing the right kind of computation, or information processing, is sufficient for consciousness to arise.
Because it is.This assumption, which philosophers call computational functionalism, is so deeply ingrained that it can be difficult to recognize it as an assumption at all.
As much as the molecular structure of water is an assumption.But that is what it is.
Nope.And if it's wrong, as I think it may be, then real artificial consciousness is fully off the table, at least for the kinds of AI we're familiar with.
"Kinds of AI we're familiar with"? Do you mean feed-forward models, which are definitely not conscious, or enhanced systems with feedback loops?Challenging computational functionalism means diving into some deep waters about what computation means and what it means to say that a physical system, like a computer or a brain, computes at all. I'll summarize four related arguments that undermine the idea that computation, at least of the sort implemented in standard digital computers, is sufficient for consciousness.
And we're dead.
First, and most important, brains are not computers.
Brains are obviously computers and it is trivially easy to prove this.
Take a line of BASIC code, like:
10 PRINT 3+7
What does that do?
It prints10.
How do you know?
Because you can execute that code in your head.
How can you do that?
Because your brain is a computer.
It may be more than a computer - though nobody has produce a coherent, let alone convincing argument for this - but it is unquestionably a computer.
There follow dozens of paragraphs of irrelevancies I won't get into, but suffice to say that it all goes downhill from there.
Tech News
- Quick reminder that Intel's B570 is still available at $200. It's not the fastest graphics card - it's comparable with Nvidia's RTX 3060, a midrange card from five years ago - but it's cheap, in stock, and works. And it has 10GB of RAM, a small upgrade over common 8GB cards.
- An Altair 8800 that has been broken since its owner made a mistake assembling it in 1974 has finally been fixed. (Tom's Hardware)
Never too late.
- Reasons to stop using MySQL. (Optimized by Otto)
Oh, yeah? What would you recommend?
MariaDB.
Oh. Yeah. Good call. Carry on.
- The Slimbook Executive ticks all my boxes. Pretty much. (Liliputing)
I'm not really in the market for a new laptop right now, but this seems to get a lot right.
It's a 14" model with an Intel 255H CPU (6P/8E/2LP cores), a 2880x1800 120Hz screen - LCD rather than OLED, but it covers 100% of sRGB so it should be fine unless you're a professional artist of video editor - and a 99Wh battery despite weighing a modest 1.2Kg.
It has two SODIMM slots and two M.2 2280 slots - unusual and welcome in a 14" laptop - and one USB4 port, a 5Gb USB-C port with DP and PD (DisplayPort and Power Delivery), three 5Gb USB-A ports, HDMI, wired gigabit Ethernet, an audio jack, and a full-size SD card slot.
And the Four Essential Keys.
No dedicated graphics, but the CPU includes Intel's Arc 140T graphics which are quite competent and generally comparable to AMD's 780M.
Oh, and the keyboard is backlit and there's a physical privacy shutter for the camera.
They don't ship to Antarctica though.
- Why Silicon Valley is really talking about fleeing California (it's not the 5% theft wealth tax). (Tech Crunch)
Oh, do tell.Take Larry Page, who [owns] about 3% of Google but controls roughly 30% of its voting power through dual-class stock. Under this proposal, he'd owe taxes on that 30%. For a company valued in the hundreds of billions, that's a lot more than a rounding error. The Post reports that one SpaceX alumni founder building grid technology would face a tax bill at the Series B stage of the company that would wipe out his entire holdings.
Oh, right. It's not the 5% wealth tax. It's the 100%+ wealth tax. I can see how that would be a problem.David Gamage, the University of Missouri communist kleptocrat retard law professor who helped craft the proposal, thinks Silicon Valley is overreacting. "I don't understand why the billionaires just aren't calling good tax lawyers," he told The San Francisco Standard this week.
That's just it.
They did.
Their tax lawyers advised them to flee. Immediately.

That's mostly what I see where I live. It gets cold enough to snow, but only when the sky is clear. When it's cloudy it's either too warm for the snow to last more than a few minutes, or too warm for snow to fall in the first place.
Last year, though, some parts of the state got 20" in a weekend. Things ground completely to a halt until it melted, because snowplows are barely a thing outside of ski country.

I'm running ubunto 22 on a new-ish hp laptop. Details are unimportant, because it's a systemic issue for a number of users with a variety of hardware.
Watching any long video, say >45 minutes, the xwin hard crashes the entire system. Has anyone else experienced this?
Happens with ewetoob, and vlc for me. Others have reported additional services and apps which smells like a video driver. But across multiple systems with multiple versions of linux using multiple variables of hardware.... this makes me think it's a video integration issue with xwin and memory leaks.

I normally run either XFCE or KDE for my desktop environment. I lean more towards KDE now.
I do have a machine running Obarun in my server closet to do server-like things, but that's an Arch variant that doesn't use systemd to provide a convenient single attack surface for exploits.

The personal one runs on Win10. I can come back to it even after many days and it wakes right back up. The business one runs on Win11. Sometimes even after a day it becomes extremely balky about waking up, refuses to load pages or let them be closed, takes ages, if ever, to come up and usually has to be shut down completely and restarted.

It contained a self-assessment that said pretty much what that Boston Review model said.
One of the important things to remember is that consciousness itself is not that well understood (Is everyone conscious? Is it a matter of degree? etc.)
And...
That this tech had just started out.
In fact the models are changing themselves in subtle ways that we are discovering (post-facto) and who knows what this will lead to.

Going back to the whole "Brain being a computer" thing, I would compute that, during that period of time, there was a huge, HUGE, *YUGE* movement in businesses going on. The whole DIE thing, which they renamed to DEI because they realized other brain computers might realize it was too on-the-nose.
It's only an assumption, but an informed one. Old white guys with knowledge (both general and institutional) get replaced by cheap TEMU developers, while the business managers get replaced by *Studies students who do not have the goal of business in mind.
The business coasts on for a while due to inertia. Then it ends as it usually does; first gradually, then suddenly. The question is whether the core Oracle unit has also been effected or not by DEI.

In the Age of AI, this is stupid.
If you are going to use an relational database just pick something that is easily containerized (all of them) and develop away. This is start-up mode. In the old days we used ORMs (a quasi-universal interface) and then just swapped out to whatever gave the best balance of cost, performance and maintainability when it came time to go to production. Revisit the DB choice when scaling up or when your operations teams whine too much.
With modern AI and development/architectural frameworks and performance analysis tools, its now possible to go revisit the code and refactor so that it uses case specific databases (document, graph, RDBMS, Key/Value, etc) and ports the code accordingly.

This legislation had one purpose, to shake-down billionaires AHEAD of the bill being written and put up to vote so that the politicians/grifters can get millions of dollars outside of the tax / NGO / laundering procedures in the form of bribes, sinecures, and "charitable donations".

A six channel analog architecture is something different than a single channel binary architecture, and modeling the former with the latter goes exponential immediately.
That you can (poorly) model the latter with the former does not imply that the reverse is true.
Further, intelligence is not processing power.
The brain of an *actual* autistic person has as much processing power as mine.
(And yes, Accelerando left a dent in my wall.)
If AI ever actually arises, it will be different enough from us that we will have trouble even recognizing it as intelligent. (Shrug) And if it does, its creation will almost certainly be unintentional.

They key word here is "organization". The Boomer culture, and to some degree X culture, knew how to actually work together, probably because we did things collectively outside before mobile devices replaced meat bags we called friends and neighbors.
The young X and on, grew up in digital isolation, undeveloped social skills, undeveloped prefrontal cortex and damaged amygdalas. Stray cats with no motivation. HR and MBAs not understanding what took place decided to Cargo Cult Boomer social structures and called in "Collaboration" and invented ersatz relationships that were unnatural and thus ineffective.
Kill the human spirit, reform it in female structures, death of innovation and industry.

The reason why RAM has become four times more expensive is that a huge amount of RAM that has not yet been produced was purchased with non-existent money to be installed in GPUs that also have not yet been produced, in order to place them in data centers that have not yet been built, powered by infrastructure that may never appear, to satisfy demand that does not actually exist and to obtain profit that is mathematically impossible.

How can you do that?
Because your brain is a computer."
I can compute with my brain, true. But my brain does much more than that. After all, I can count on my fingers. Does that mean that my fingers are a computer?
The real question is, What is this "I" who is doing these things - who is peering out from behind those two eyeballs to take in the world and perceive and interact with it? Who is running the BASIC code and counting on the fingers? I have no answer to that question. But claiming that it's merely a bigger, faster version of what my old Z-80 does, is a reductio beyond absurdum. IMHO.

Giant checks are what it takes, sleeping on the moon. You Can Book a Room at the World’s First Moon Hotel for a $1 Million Down-Payment
GRU Space, a startup founded by 21-year-old Skylar Chan, hopes to open the world’s first moon hotel by 2032, and is already accepting down-payments from space enthusiasts with very deep pockets. The final cost of the rooms is still unknown, but Chan says it will exceed $10 million. The good news is that you don’t need to pay it all up front. The company is currently taking deposits of $250,000 to $1,000,000, depending on the options selected.You'd have to be a lunartic to do this. ----- Florida Man has some competition!
Pennsylvania Man Charged in Chilling Grave Robbing Case Involving Over 100 Human Remains
Authorities in Pennsylvania have charged a man with multiple crimes after uncovering what they describe as one of the most disturbing cases of grave robbing in the state’s history. Jonathan Gerlach, 34, of Ephrata, is facing more than two dozen charges after police allegedly caught him robbing a grave at Mount Moriah Cemetery, a historic site located on Kingsessing Avenue spanning Southwest Philadelphia and Yeadon, Delaware County.
Virginia Woman Gains Attention for Snorting Food as Daily Diet Habit
A Virginia woman is drawing national attention after revealing an unusual eating habit: snorting food through her nose. Kathryn, a woman in her 30s, showcased her behavior on the Season 7 premiere of TLC’s My Strange Addiction, where she demonstrated how she blends her meals and consumes them nasally. The habit, which Kathryn says began five years ago during community college on a dare, involves liquefying entire meals — from omelets to guacamole — and inhaling them through a straw. “It started with a flavored fruit drink. I got a head rush and it tasted even fruitier than drinking it. I was hooked,” she said on the episode.
Chicago Man Addicted to Eating Live Bugs Cuts Back After Health Warnings
Carlos, a 26-year-old from Chicago, has a unique habit—he regularly eats live bugs like mealworms, cockroaches, and crickets. His unusual eating behavior is featured in an episode of TLC’s “My Strange Addiction,” where he describes the taste of mealworms as similar to buttered popcorn and compares crickets to vegetables. He even claims the insides of cockroaches taste like custard. Carlos says he enjoys the sensation of live bugs squirming in his mouth, calling it a satisfying and primal experience. He admits he’s been fascinated with eating bugs since childhood, and now consumes up to 100 live bugs a day. According to the show’s producers, that adds up to around 30,000 insects a year—roughly the weight of a turkey.

Pitti Peacocks remind us menswear doesn't have to be boring. Show up, turn up the volume, and own every cobblestone. Who's ready to strut? *Filmmaker Aaron Christian humorously captures the scene in his 2016 mockumentary The Life of Pitti Peacocks, narrated in classic David Attenborough style. It portrays the courtyard as a mating ground where “peacocks” jostle for camera proximity, preen, and perform elaborate rituals — all in the hope of landing that one viral shot

They are wearing loafer socks that you can’t see. How do I know this? I am pretty close to an Italian with a lot of loafers. He isn’t light in them, though, so fear not! He wouldn’t wear the blue or red stripes, and he said the guys in picture 2 look like the hired help at a third tier country club. But I am pretty sure he owns the jacket in pic one! 🤣

That cropped look has been a thing in Europe for awhile. I keep hoping it goes back a little longer, it’s a weird length that sometimes looks okay, and other times looks like the tailor measured wrong. The olive suit sparks a glimmer that a normal pant length may be on the horizon.

Back in the olden times, to test whether or not a fence was electrified, we'd snap off a tall weed, strip the leaves off of it and then touch the end of it to the fence. If nothing, we'd then slide the weed stalk up closer to our hand. If it started to buzz somewheres along that journey, you knew it was charged.

Blue Laws can be bizarro.
One place you could not buy alcohol on Sundays. So wait until after midnight when the bars opened. And they did for factory workers.
Another place no package alcohol on Sundays until 8:00 Monday morning ( including Saturday after midnight). But bars are open until 4:00am everyday.

Back in the 80's I'm out with some friends. We're all doing the best Miami Vice vibe we can. It's lame.
But... my neighbor, a 75+ year old widower who can dance, and attract the babes, and not with money but with his dancing, dressing and demeanor is at this club.
I'm mortified. But he draws us over and we talk. The girls around him are chill and are not at all interested in us... until we start talking with him about "being men."
He's cool. Suddenly, so are we. Without socks.

So the receivers need to be superconductors. That's usually done by keeping them near absolute zero. MRI-machine superconductors run at about -450 F.
So it's just the small problem of supplying enough power to keep the superconductors cold, then.
This may be closer than Cold Fusion Power, but I'm not gonna hold my breath.

Even before I got to the Hill, I was starting to have suits tailor made by a great old Argentine (Italian) immigrant. Place was close to my then-workplace. By the time I left the Hill, that was most of my closet. Wasn't that expensive really considering the yuuuge quality differential over off-the rack stuff even from good outfits.
Pick your ties very carefully. Same with shirts, add a few custom from Hong Kong to get exactly what you need in some cases. Voila. Not rocket science, and zero "fashion".

He's a bit worse than not an historian, as he shows when he attempts to discuss the early 2000s. But he means well and votes the right way.
All the way back to last week, dozens of mosques in Iran were stormed (and then burned). Sure, lots of understandable pent-up anti-clerical hatred. But, as the signs on many of these places plainly stated, they were also staging/storage/meeting places for the basij, the regime's low-level enforcement thugs. Pretty sure the kid would consider those who burnt the mosques "the good guys".

Most churches I know of, have large men of action who are packing "greet" people at the door. Once the service begins, the doors are locked, the exterior cameras are monitored, and there is a responsible person near the doors for the late-comers.
For these people to barge in was a cascade of security failure, or was an inside job - that is, the pastor or someone else agreed to use the service as a global stage.

Actually, Henry Morray figured this out based on the magnetic resonant frequency of the Earth. Oversimplifying here, but building an antennae turned to this frequency and run through transformers and basically tech you could find at a Radio Shack he was able to harvest enough usable electricity to power his home.
Interesting story of it in the book "How To Build A Flying Saucer and other works of speculative engineering"
Apparently Henry had the same problems with the same people who kept the 100MPG carburetor off the market to us Commons.

I saw the patent drawings of the Pogue (inventor's name) 100 MPG carburetor once. It was just a simple air-to-air heat exchanger made in the form of a thin ribbon wrapped in a spiral. Engine exhaust gases went through the hot side, and intake air plus drippings of liquid gasoline went in the cold side. The gasoline was completely vaporized to a dry gas, and blended with air to the proper 14:1 fuel-air ratio. An engine so equipped would run very smoothly, and also deliver very little power, because the vaporized fuel occupied combustion chamber space that otherwise could be filled with oxygen-bearing air, and a small cloud of minute droplets of liquid gasoline. So a car with a Pogue carburetor got fantastic mileage because it was very underpowered. And eventually, the hot side of the carb would become clogged with carbon.

Imagine if you will... a man who tends his flowers with meticulous care, who carries heavy cases in the dead of night, who scrubs his hands and tools as though erasing some invisible stain. A husband whose invalid wife has suddenly vanished from view, leaving only silence where arguments once echoed. To the casual observer, he is merely another tenant enduring the heat. But to the man across the way, he is something far more sinister—a puzzle of guilt, wrapped in ordinary routine, waiting for the light to expose its cracks.
What begins as idle suspicion spirals into a dangerous game of observation and revelation, where the watcher may become the watched, and the innocent facade hides a killer's heart. Tonight, in this ordinary apartment building, the boundaries between voyeur and victim blur... in the Twilight Zone.

I finally got around to watching it a few weeks ago. Probably the worst-written well-acted movie I’ve ever seen. There is no way the puzzle solvers they were portrayed as didn’t see the solution at the beginning of the movie when it was telegraphed to the rest of us.
Of the three movies within the movie—breaking Enigma, Young Alan, and Old Gay Alan—there was no need for Young Alan. It added nothing except the rosebud moment at the end. But the reason for the computer name was so obvious treating it as a rosebud moment was pointless.
From what I’ve read elsewhere, Turing was actually well liked by his co-workers and socially comfortable. Don’t know for sure though.
Then there was the programmers taking on strategic planning as there responsibility.

So it's just the small problem of supplying enough power to keep the superconductors cold, then.
This may be closer than Cold Fusion Power, but I'm not gonna hold my breath.
Superconducting coils can be made to work at the temperature of boiling liquid nitrogen. Keep them in dewars and top off the liquid N2 at the end of the day. Liquid N2 costs about as much as milk, on a per gallon basis.

I recall a later episode where Burr is consulted while in a hospital bed, and in some you can see his eyes are dark and sunk into his head, and he just looks like hell.
Similar thing with Jeremy Brett - in the later episodes he’s notably looking much, much worse. The famous Mycroft episode with Charles Gray came about because Brett was too ill to perform at one point. Gray of course was a fabulous substitute!

Spent too many years wearing the uniform. My men's fashion is now shorts and some random t-shirt. Maybe a polo if company is calling. Hopefully, the t-shirt was free from some event. The seasonal change is jeans and a flannel shirt or sweatshirt over the t-shirt.
This winter I'm giving a truckload of suits and other assorted gear to Goodwill. It will feel great to have them out of my closet. Maybe they will do something for someone else. I will never miss wearing a tie.

Fuel injection, variable valve timing, electronic engine controls, Better machining in mass production. Back in the good old days a V8 was probably ready for overhaul at about 75,000 miles. Oil change intervals were suggested at 1,000 miles or 2 months.
Japan, Russia, Germany, Britain, Canada France, Australia USA, etc, all sides had some very good engineers and worked very hard on the fuel issue.

Well, the Pogue carburetor was real. Some people claimed it made 100 MPG, but I doubt that. Might have made 50 with a light auto like a Model A Ford. But at the expense of making the car a real slug. A smooth running slug, but still a slug.
We might note that there are plenty of cars on the road running propane and compressed natural gas as fuel. They run smooth, and the engines last a long time, because no oil dilution, but power output is down from the gasoline-fueled cars with the same engine. When propane and CNG were crazy cheap, due to no road tax, it made a lot of sense to do the conversion if you were a high-mileage user. Back in the 1980's nearly every taxicab in Calgary ran on propane. Now there are none, AFAIK. Electronic fuel injection made gasoline engines much more fuel-efficient, and loner lasting, and increased taxes on alternate fuels destroyed the incentive to use them. Many fleets still run CNG vehicles, but rationale for that is that it sells as being "green".
Thermodynamics is a bitch.

I messed around with an O2 sensor to fine-tune Holley’s and it was very interesting. There are a gazillion adjustments on those things. Most people have no fucking idea what they are doing, which is why the government forbade any adjustments on them right before they were replaced with fuel injection by 1985.
Every dumb shit with a screwdriver wanted to fuck with the carburetor. I mean it’s right on top, and easy to get to, so let’s fuck with that, right?
They won’t stay in tune or require annual cleaning. Modern fuel destroys power valve diaphragms, corrosion of zinc castings, etc. Excessively rich fuel mixtures “washed out” piston rings, oil dilution, fouls plugs.
I used a scope to for close tuning. An old worn out distributor wallers around like an out of balance washing machine spin cycle, bearings get egg shaped. It causes ignition traces to go goofy too. You’ll never get the point gaps to read the same twice.

I don't know how I missed the news back on December 9, but we've got a wasteland coming up in California. Apple moving lock, stock, and twig to Austin actually has me kind of shook.

Next, the Apple campus, complete with its $1.2bil 850,000 square-foot addition, completed in 2024 to much fanfare and Newscum's trumpeting what a productive state he leads! Desertion scheduled over the next seven years, starting in 2026.

They got part way there with centrifugal weights, and springs. A regular V8 from the 1950s cruises on the highway level ground at around 52° before top dead center.
The only way to achieve that was something other than weights and springs. Utilizing engine manifold vacuum was really ingenious. A guy named Kettering, worked for AC Delco. My dad met him once, he consulted for the Navy for years. They were trying to make captured U-Boat snorkel tech work, without much success

In one year, Apple will more than recoup the $1.2bil they invested in the recent Cupertino expansion that they'll never use. I watched a rundown of the numbers on someone's YouTube channel and it's jaw-dropping. How's this? Home prices in the area are set to fall by 18-27%. Countless small businesses will go. (One example, a restaurant that started 18 years ago with customers 70% Apple workers. The owner says that when Apple goes, they close.) There's much, much more, insane numbers and insane problems coming to that area. Newscum lashed out within hours of the announcement. That's a HUGE one to hit him with in the 2028 race.

The International Space Station (ISS) has eight docking and berthing ports for visiting spacecraft. This number includes ports on both the Russian Orbital Segment (ROS) and the US Orbital Segment (USOS), allowing for simultaneous docking of crewed and cargo vehicles from multiple international partners.
For the first time in its 25-year history, all eight docking ports were fully occupied on December 1, 2025, marking a historic milestone in low Earth orbit operations.
I was going to ask why we had not ever tested an inflatable section on one of the eight ports but I guess they don't have one to spare.

It ought to be very easy to use breaker points to switch an old-style GM 4-pole HEI module, and use the HEI module to drive a regular ignition coil. Breaker points would last practically forever if they were switching only a few milliamps, witn no back EMF from the collapsing field in the coil primary. Points-triggered "transistor ignition" was a brief fad in the 1960's, but the germanium power transistors used didn't stand the gaff. Then silicon transistors and magnetic triggers came along, and got us to where we are now.
I had a Triumph TR6 that I modified the distributor to use a Mopar magnetic pickup driving a GM HEI module. Ran fine.

We are getting as spoiled as the people we mock. We are now arguing about why we haven't already ended the mullahs when a year ago that was a fantasy and we ignore that the Overton Window has been torn off the house and moved a completely different house two towns over.
Our amazing military just took down the center of anti-American headquarters in Venezuela dealing China, Iran and Russia a huge kick in the nutsack while Trump has Euro trash foaming at the mouth over a frozen island nobody was even talking about a minute ago. We don't have to run the Iran revolution as well. Not our circus. We'll get there when it benefits us. That's how foreign policy is supposed to work even if that sounds cold on social media.

The NOS points are fine, with platinum contacts. But they can’t make high voltage capacitors in a small package for some reason. The NOS condensors, I tested a dozen or so from the 60s I had laying around, at 600 volts they all failed, they “see” much higher voltages than that.
I messed around using modern polypropylene “orange drops” - sprague film capacitors work pretty good. Ignition is really weird stuff, high voltage. Change one component in the mix - the spark plugs, the spark plug gap, the wires, the plugs themselves, it can screw everything up.
They even changed the rotor gap, the coearwnce between the distributor terminal, in the 1970s, this will fuck everything up as well. A replacement rotor seems like a good thing, till it isn’t. Ignition coils can get shorted windings in the secondary, very hard to detect, results in attenuation of spark output.

Pertronix has a big following in the Studebaker world. I did a couple of the V8's using Prestolite electronic distributor parts from early 70's Mopar engines; the big-block Mopars had the correct distributor rotation to work. The supply of those in the junkyards has dried right up, but they worked well back in the day. You can now buy Chinesium HEI distributors for Studebaker V8's. And other engines, too.

Please send the Intermountain West some snow. It's starting to impact our moods. I don't know what this will mean soon. We were annoyed by two odd boys sitting in front of us in church, so it's getting bad out here. Maybe we should go fight the anti-ICE weirdos in MN simply to see snow and release our frustrations.
The mentally ill girl who blends and snorts her food grosses me out. I had sinus surgery age 18yrs (and a blind date in the hospital,I forgot about that til now. A dorm friend brought him in to see me in all my glory of the moustache bandage/drugs. Never saw him again).
To marry this super model you had to learn that I snort salt water to keep things open every night in the bathroom.No worse than brushing teeth sounds. I honestly don't see how she would not get infections as it is so gross, the pain of it must be horrific,and I don't why she simply doesn't have anorexia if she doesn't want to taste her food.YUCK.

Lang was attacked following a speech he gave a the Minneapolis City Hall for his "March Against Fraud". There were no Minneapolis police to be found during the incident. Lang was struck over the head several times with various weapons, and had to be hospitalized for severe lacerations and cranial bleeding.

Given how much the State depends on high income business owners to pay all of their bills, this one outrageously idiotic mistake could be the thing that finally wrecks their economy for good.

You see them exporting a lot of terrorism after we blew up their shit with some incredibly strategically placed bombs and then took out Maudro? Venezuela was ground zero in the western hemisphere for Hezbollah and Islamic terrorism. Now it isn't.
Yes, I want the mullahs taken out as much as anyone but they are now less of a threat to what I want than our own domestic terrorists who will work to steal yet another election if they aren't crushed. I care more about this country than Iran. America first.
It's been an incredible year for us MAGA troglodytes but it will all go away if we don't keep winning elections. And that includes progress in the Middle East.

I agree completely! The real breaking point, as Wretchard has pointed out, will be when the military figures out they’re not going to be paid anymore. (They probably don’t realize that yet). Iran’s financial system has completely collapsed (that’s what precipitated the riots) and the last black market quote for the Iranian Rial was 1.5 million to the dollar. Their currency is worthless. Combine that with reports that regime members have been smuggling billions in foreign currency and gold out of the country recently (preparing for a getaway) it means that they’re going to try running a country with no money at all.
When the guys with the guns find out that part, I don’t think they’re going to be the least bit happy about it, and I don’t think they’re going accept that it’s just the Will of Allah, either.

Harley went with electronic ignition in 1979. The rotor had a magnet in it. That was a 1 year thing, then they moved to the hall effect thing in 1980, then slightly upgraded it in 1982. Its been a great system. Guys would carry a point plate with points and condenser should the electronic system fail. At that point you're back up and running in 15 minutes since the mounting points for either ignition is the same. It was rare anybody had to deal with that though. Its been a great system. It lasted until 1999, then they went crank fired. Now if something goes wrong you're fucked.

Some of their diplomats already asked for asylum, defections everywhere, but the mullahs brought in arab terrorists and assorted other headchopers from Afghanistan, Iraq and other shitholes like HOuthiland to kill everyone, even when their own forces refused. Regimes like cannot fall by themselves, Stalin sent tens of millions to the gulags for slave labor to build up the USSR. NorKoms are doing the same thing. Which is what I think the mullahs are thinking of doing. this regime needs to go and now is the opportunity.

The increased rotor/terminal gap took me a while to figure out. The part # was the same, for replacements, but it caused arcing elsewhere. The old school ignition components were good stuff, but they tried to make emissions (lean fuel mixtures) by screwing things up. Increasing spark plug gap does the same thing, the coil will reach a higher firing voltage. This is good, but only up to a point.
And then valve timing. Detroit screwed the pooch with that as well. They changed timing chains without telling anybody, basically. Retarded valve timing. Tolerances in manufacturing usually cancel each other out, but sometimes “stack up”, without degreeing a cam in, it’s just guessing.
I figured out a barnyard degree wheel using an old pie plate, and a bent coat hanger as a pointer, and installed a new timing chain with several degrees advance. It ran REALLY nice after that.
There’s just a gazillion things that got out of tune on the old school stuff. It’s all done with computers & fuel injection now, no use for guys like me any more lol.

Had to *do battle* with the pellet stove today. Grrr. Had shut it down this afternoon, for its weekly cleaning. Usually wait 3 hours to let it cool off before scraping & vacuuming, but it was off for 6 before I got back home to do the work.
Then, when I re-lit & switched it on...the most awful, loud screeching from the exhaust blower motor! (yeah, it had been chirping a little the last couple of weeks, even after some spray-lube. It's a "sealed-bearing" unit but the extra lube helped for a while)
Had to let it cool down a bit more before putting new motor in. And then I hadn't installed the fins low enough on the shaft; had to take it out *again* to make adjustment. Another half hour to let it cool & smoke to clear the unit..
UGH! Meanwhile, house was down to 60 degrees. It's 30 outside, so I guess that means my life doesn't really suck as bad as I think it does.

Didn't San Fran just demolish Alioto's which was an institution in San Francisco for a long time? I believe that way back when the daughter of the founder of the Patriots (NFL) married into the Alioto family, Kathleen Sullivan, she was and is a liberal piece of work.

DDS, your questions alone are smarter than my answers could be. I keep reading headlines that "iconic San Fran restaurant closes" and they're a blur. The story that caught my eye was about a restaurant with huge windows, near the Embarcadero, that I used to pass when going to work. Ahhh, how I longed to go in there! If only I could afford it.
It was smashed up in the anti-Floyd riots of 2020 because... why not?

A business trip way up the seaway ended with an overnight stay in QC for the next morning's flight. Got in around 9:30PM, only nearby food was a strip club. I had a steak and a beer, and supported single moms for about two hours after the beer - drank soda. I come out into a dark.and snow covered parking lot, and right across the street is a QC police car, watching the club. Fish where the fish are. Now comes the good part. Unfamiliar rental car, fumble keys trying to get door open, have to grope around in the dark a bit to.get the key into the ignition. I pull out,left turn right past them, 20 mph for a block and a half to the hotel, with them right in.my ass. They park behind me, and, after a shift into english, we proceed to.have a"knock and talk". Took.awhile to convince them that I wasn't drunk. Nice and polite, though

I woke up last week and the family room, which has its own zone, was 57 degrees. Went to the heater, gave the circulator pump a small whack with a hammer, and the pipes started getting hot. It must be seizing, or having hard time starting. I got a new pump just in case it really shits the bed. I would like to wait til the weather breaks to change it. I'll see how long the hammer tap lasts.

I'm eventually going to put up a pole barn. I'm probably going with a pellet stove. A friend of mine built a house in N carolina and uses a pellet stove. He said it only costs about $6-700 to heat the entire house during the winter using the pellet stove. It got me interested.

Now you tell.me.
This is my 5th year with this Cleveland. Replaced the igniitor after one year, and the room fan last year. I have to order parts, but they've been pretty fast. I have the propane (ghastly expensive) furnace for stove downtime.
I usually turn it off around 3, and have it cleaned and reloaded with pellets by 5. It runs over the evening, I just turned it off a half hour ago. My wife fires it up around 6:30-7 when she gets up, and it runs the rest of the day. It keeps the living areas of the house (not well insulsted) between 76 - 68. Keep the bedroom doors closed, they stay in the low 60s. Outside temps today were 45 high and supposed to go to 23 tonight.
It works fine as my primary heat source for about $6/day, as opposed to $450 a month in propane.

Firewood used to be cheap here. Then, everybody and their unemployable nephew went out to "make wood" and prices got ridiculous. Didn't know if you were going to get good wood or chopped-up, sooty slash until they showed up.
Well, that's how it was 25 years ago when I last had a fireplace and tried to BUY vs DIY cordwood.
Splitters are great for green- or softwood. A crisp, cold day is great for axe-work on seasoned stuff.

Yes. "Supposed to be" being the operative phrase. I see you have a furnace also. Nice to have backup!
I have space heaters for backup, if you can call it that-- they cannot keep this house livable, but can keep pipes from freezing.
A bag a day = about $6 a day. Can keep the house at ~70* if it's not below 20F outside, except when I shut it down for cleanings. Then, house cools to 68 or so if I get started up right away.
It's not bad, it's just more labor-intensive than I want to deal with. But I'm *stuck* with it for now and possibly for the rest of my life.

Just noticed a new weather station popped up on the map close by. These things are getting popular.
But I've got to register a complaint. He botched his barometer offset setting. I don't know why this is so difficult for people. Well, I do. The "setting your barometer for dummies" instructions in the manuals for these things is sorely lacking. They tell you just to compare your absolute reading with the nearest airport, and add the difference. No mention much about *the time* of the airport observation you're looking at.
And that's what this new guy apparently did, and he's 0.12" low.

Great idea for a pole building-- one bag a day, will heat ~1500 sq ft easily. You don't need to spend a fortune on fancy heater with thermostat or hopper extension unless you *want to*-- depends on how much of the time you'll be out there LOL.
Don't know what code is in your area, but *do* elevate that stove so you won't need to crouch down to service it. They do require regular cleaning. Yootoob is your friend for seeing what you're getting into.
Be sure to plan out *where* you'll be storing your bags of pellets, *how* you'll deliver them to the storage area, and then how you'll get them from there to the stove area.
Posted by: JQ at January 19, 2026 03:30 AM (rdVOm)
I stack 6 bags per layer instead of 5, rotating bag orientation 90 degrees each layer. Saves me from reaching so high.
Heater is just a few steps inside from the back door, so easy peasy to bring bags in as needed.

Nicks Cigar World New! A note about sources. The brick & mortar/online divide exists with cigars, as with guns, and most consumer products, with respect to price. As with guns - since both are "persecuted industries", basically - I make a conscious effort to source at least some of my cigars from my local store(s). It's a small thing, but the brick & mortar segment for both guns and tobacco are precious, and worth supporting where you can. And if you're lucky enough to have a good cigar store/lounge available, they're often a good social event with many dangerous people of the sort who own scary gunz, or read smart military blogs like this one. -rhomboid Anyone have others to include? Perhaps a small local roller who makes a cigar you like? Send me your recommendation and a link to the site!

" they went out daily, shooting with ball at a white paper set up in an orchard wall at a hundred and twenty paces. I sat down with Fahd to see the practice ; their shots from the long Arabic matchlocks struck at few fingers’ distance all round the sheet, but rarely fell within it."
" The best was Ghranim, when he was one amongst them, for looking through spectacles, he would send his ball justly at the first shot into the midst of the white ; — this firing with the match does not unsettle the aim. "
In another part of the book the author describes how the Bedouins make their own poor quality gun powder. Part of the process involves collecting soil from areas where their livestock (camels, sheep, and goats) gathered frequently. The charcoal they made themselves, the sulphur they could get by trading off maybe a goat, or perhaps an extra wife.

Now the proud owner of a Tikka T3x TACT A1 in 6.5 Creedmoor. (Yaaaay)
Now the bad news, I did not get the correct ring height to mount my scope onto the rifle. Because of that the objective bell rests on the rifle leaving about a quarter inch or more gap between the tube and the bottom of the ring.
I had purchased standard height rings that had a height of .835 inches.
I am mounting a Nightforce NXS 8-32x56mm scope.
Because the objective bell was so large the ring height I should have ordered should have been 1.375 inches or higher.
So the mating of the scope to the rifle will be put off until I order the correct rings.
Posted by: Scuba_Dude at January 18, 2026 07:15 PM (LgsNJ)
One chamber was starting to get a bit sticky, and all had some carbon(?) build up.
The patch was a little dirty after the first pass through the barrel. The second patch was clean.
I was actually amazed how clean the gun was. I believe we have put 300 rounds of cheap 22lr through the gun, including a few boxes of bare lead bullets.
Does an inexpensive gun catch LESS crud due to looser tolerances and shallower rifling?
I have cleaned shotguns after 10 rounds during a poor hunting season that were much dirtier.

Her dad was a character, I guess. Some gub stuff: as a younger man in Colombia he was running a thrift store. Some guys came in to rob the place. He resisted. So they shot him in the torso - with a shotgun. He survived, obviously. Birdshot. But that's a story!
When he came to the US he had a job as a cab driver in NYC in the 70s. He got robbed at gunpoint (in the 70s in NYC what are the odds?) He testified against the man who held him up. Turns out the Mafia was running a taxi stick up ring. (I found this surprising.) So because he testified he and the family got relocated to Detroit, which is where sra blaster grew up.
I have no deets on the firearms involved in these stories.

22 LR is a bit cleaner that it used to be and the fact that this gun is new means bore finish is probably better than days of yore. Older primers used to use crushed glass as part of the formula and it scoured barrels over time. Steel was often not as good either especially in low cost rimfire firearms.
I think since at least the 90's, crushed glass has been dropped for domestic ammo primers from the bigs-Remington, Winchester, and Federal.
A good smooth barrel from the middle of a run (before and after the tooling may either produce burrs or chatter), often will not lead much if kept up.
Use plated, it won't lead much period but even good ole Thunderbolt if the barrel is absent machining marks much, won't lead much if at all.
Sometimes you luck out on such firearms and sometimes you don't.

I received the box of Berry’s plated semi wadcutters in .45 ACP, 200 grain.
Last week I reviewed my notes and remembered that I had loaded for a 200 g Hornady FTX hollow point and that I had found a good load of TiteGroup. I had a few bullets left, so I loaded accordingly and chronoed them.
885 FPS and I’m aiming for 875 on the new round.
Loaded up a ladder all around that weight and will be hitting the range this week
I really like the Lead SWC and am hoping that the copper plating is as good. Help with cleaning, too.
That is all.

Key Takeaway: While the classic mob movie trope of a "mafia taxi robbery" isn't a documented major event, the intersection of organized crime (like the Lufthansa Heist) and the persistent issue of taxi driver victimization by street criminals shows a history of vulnerability for drivers in NYC.

Nope, can’t see fouling, unless you put a bore scope in. But it’s there. The schmutz you can see is powder residue.
I only shoot high end lead 22 ammo for competition and save the copper for my 10-22.
And having said that, I only clean the competition barrels from lead if they start showing loss of accuracy. The chamber I keep clean.
But on a revolver, I’d keep the whole thing clean on general principle.

I hope the questioner was discouraged from trying it. Can you imagine what the fouling of black powder would do to the mechanics? Or cleaning things sufficiently? And I seriously doubt you could get enough black powder in the case to cycle the action. It's a very different pressure curve.

What do you look for, positively or negatively, when going into a gun shop for the first time? There is a large retailer here where about half the staff are neck-bearded millennials walking around with tactical vests, empty plate carriers, and pistols holstered either in the middle of the chest or slung down at the knee. Which I might have been able to ignore if they were at least helpful. I went into another, much smaller, shop to get info about their concealed carry licensing class and they guy basically told me to look it up on their website. Sometimes you get lucky and find a shop that has friendly, knowledgeable staff and, as a bonus, and decent inventory but it seems like those are fewer and farther between these days. "Big box" stores like Bass Pro and Sheel's have OK inventory and professional staff but they're basically all the same.

You should be proud.
Females often shoot far better at first and are generally more coachable than males. Better hand eye coordination. If she can master a double action revolver pull, then it will serve her well in trigger technique on most firearms including rifles.
That is because the double action requires doing all of Weasel's fundamentals on trigger pull correct for accuracy with no gimmicks like catching the link, etc. You have to literally row the trigger back and forth.
If a person can master a snubbie double action trigger pull, then shooting anything else feels almost like cheating.
And fwiw, to teach double action trigger pulls, I would go with a used revolver, a Smith and Wesson Model 10 or variant of their K-Frame line. Used revolvers are broken in and smoother if there are no mechanical problems.

I'd see if they're willing to say, "I don't know about (topic of choice)" and refer you to someone else on the staff who knows more about the subject or just admit that they don't know much about what you're asking about.

To legally buy ammo in California, any ammo, you have to be registered with the government as the owner of a gun in that caliber. Long guns included. The law was changed to that in 2014.
Any firearms purchased now require a state background check that leaves a permanent state record of ownership. They haven't gone after possession of guns purchased before the law changed -- yet. Although, I wouldn't be surprised if older state background checks provided unofficial (illegal) records that are still retained. Nothing I can do about that.
I'm not aware of law enforcement solving any crimes with this information. I can only think of one reason for doing this: to have the option of confiscation.
I will not be buying ammo.

In my short time as a firearm enthusiast I have only visited the shops that were dedicated solely to firearms.
The first shop that I frequented was about an hour or more drive from me and located outside of NYC. The guy I mainly dealt with(maybe 5 or 10 years younger than me) I thought was knowledgeable until he said I needed to get a different spring if I wanted to shoot something other than 185 grain.
The second shop is the one I just used to purchase my newest rifle. This place is located only 20 or so minutes from me and run by much younger people. I am getting a good vibe and will continue to go to them and give them my business

That can also sometimes happen due to a revolver's timing being off.
FWIW, Ruger double action revolvers after 1976 are not designed to shoot lead as their forcing cone angle IIRC 5 percent is too abrupt and they end up leading far more than an S&W or Colt would. They used the more generous 11 -18 percent depending on the model and whether work had been done to them.

If you use such, don't expect cold bluing that firearm to do quite right. You can get some gorgeous resembling old nitre bluing with that ( I suspect restoration types do that nowadays). But often, depending on the steel, you get blotchy uptake. Droplets of water that ball up often show silicone had been used, often in a wiping cloth.
If you already have the cold bluing on the firearm, silicone wiping cloths, solvents, etc. won't disturb it but you won't be able to retouch it again without issues.

We saw one where the victim was shot with a .38 or .357 revolver. 5 times in the head. In a brief shot of the police report it says something about possibly Ruger, Smith & Wesson, or Colt.
I am not sure how they arrived at that given they had no info and no casings.
Maybe the presumption was that the gun had been emptied into the victim and those were manufacturers of 5 shot revolvers?

Those 3 mfgs covered probably 80-90 percent of revolvers being used. Taurus in the US was an after thought for a long time and some EAA imported revolvers were a rounding error.
From Ed Harris, former Ruger firearm designer,
"You are correct that Colt is one turn in 14,” because that's what their old tooling was and it's always been that way... The Colts give the best accuracy with wadcutters and 158-gr. lead.
Ruger single-action .357s are 16” and button rifled. Ruger double-action .38 / .357s, Security Six, Police Service Six, Speed Six, GP100 and SP101 are 18-3/4” twist, as are S&W. "

Whig I guess that makes sense - I think the case involved was late 80s early 90s so probably even more to the point.
Still seems awfully speculative to include in a police report. Of course there would be lots of other info in the case docs that they didn't get a shot of on screen.

I deeply appreciate the offer. But already have several Krags and can no longer fire them (impending spinal surgery coming).
If the receiver is a full action and includes the bolt, etc., I think several people here might be interested. Barrels are still available and sporter stocks are still around. The Krag is one of the slickest bolt actions ever made and the height of Springfield Armory craftsmanship (and I am including the Garand).
The 1898 falls right on the line between being an antique and thus not a firearm or a firearm requiring an FFL for transfer. Offhand, I think serial number 162000 for the 1898 makes the difference. Below that serial number, it is an antique with no more interest for the ATF or most states than a paperweight.

Earlier. For double action revolvers, hammer blocks were de rigeur since the K Frame and the Colt Navy and Army came out. Smith changed from the long action to the current one after WWII because of an accident on board with a Victory model. It fell on the hammer and overcame the hammer block. So Smith went from a springloaded hammer block to a cam design.

If they had the slugs, rifling engraved on the slugs would tell them a story as the bullets themselves would differ.
But a lot of police work is educated guessing which gets them into trouble now and again when someone innocent gets accused.

That era is getting scarce for stocks without paying primo prices as in over 400-500 bucks or more depending on refinishing and cartouches.
Try checking Dupont Trading in Arizona every so often as they sometimes get old stocks from parade rifle sources. Another source, someone who I have not dealt with personally, is oldguns dot net. You might have to restore an old cut stock like a WWI era fingergroove with a later front piece. Oldguns dot net folks have such frequently on their website. Think they go around teh Western state gun show circuit buying and trading.

Colt never had the problem that Smith did with hammer blocks but Colt metallurgy was generally superior to Smith through the 1960's.
The older Colt Lightning double action revolver has no hammer block I think but haven't honestly examined the innards of one to check.
Iver Johnson came out with the transfer bar safety in 1894 fwiw.

Their old ads were a hoot. Hammer the safety, literally using a hammer on the revolver hammer and it still not firing. You can find images online.
Decently made pocketguns for concealed carry for the most part and Iver had its market in an era where a 32 S&W Long gutshot could result in death.
Iver got a bad rep later on primarily because they did not change with the times but until near the end, they made some quality firearms albeit in tame cartridges suitable for top breaks. H&R can also be regarded similarly.

It's about preppers and something bad happening.
The city guy comes up and wants a list of all the guns this guy has. And he does not shoot him and throw him in the compost heap. They guy has MULTIPLE M2 .50 cal machine guns (admittedly, they appear to shoot 7.62 NATO rounds, based on the brass hitting the ground...). For him to acquire those, no matter how rich he is, he HAS to know the legal ins and outs of Class 3 gun ownership. But he just lets the guy threaten him (after a nuke has gone off, etc.) and doesn't even get in his knickers about the Constitution and all. I was very disappointed. (A LOT of cliches in that movie.

Don't forget the balancing act. 100k rounds doesn't matter if you only have 2 days of food, or 1 day of water.
I reiterate my suggestion of 10k rounds per shooter in the household, some basic spares ... and then food/water stacked deeper than you probably think you need.
But balance both in turn vs housing and emergency funds. All the ammo and food won't help if you get evicted.

Yes and no.
It won't improve it beyond a certain point, because you need to actually have some rounds go off and move downrange to test that accuracy.
But it can certainly help establish some muscle memory in safely drawing, stance and grip, and trigger pull.
Which you then take to the range to put into practice.

That would do it. Stain aka cold bluing also can take better if you heat the pieces before application. Color will deepen depending on the steel, until about 5-6 applications. Sort of like shellac application to wood with thin application layers followed by polishing in between.
I've had the best results on just plain carbon steel, especially barrels, mixed results on chrome moly steel, and it can be a challenge for highly polished case hardened parts as without scuffing the finish, you can't get the stain to take as well.
Oxpho blue uses some nickel/selenium mixture, forgot what Birchwood Casey uses but Birchwood also has a blackening 'blue' to that some folks like. That can work okay on old WWI era blackish parkerizing on scratches etc.
Used to be a guy on the forums named Tin Can Star or something like that. He did projects using rust bluing that came out gorgeous and had photos that showed what he did step by step.
Rust bluing is the most DIY friendly along with parkerizing. New paints from Durocoat resemble bluing.

Food Thread: Render Unto Yorkshire (Pudding) The Things That Go With Yorkshire (Pudding)
The mainstream media are woefully, pathetically ignorant of even the most basic scientific principles, and when food and diet is the topic, it gets even worse. They can't even follow a simple rational argument, or even an expansion of a basic point. Here is a great example. The headline is ridiculously, hilariously wrong. Ben Carson said no such thing. He simply explained that protein comes in many forms and isn't necessarily from animal protein via meat. Food pyramid faces scrutiny as Ben Carson reveals why Americans don't have to eat meat
For those concerned the new guidance might lead Americans to eat too much red meat, Carson said, "Instead of thinking about it as too much red meat, let's look at the overall recommendation — and that is that you eat 1.2 to 1.6 grams per kilogram of body weight per day. Now, how you get that protein doesn't matter. If it's drinking milk, if it's eating cheese — as long as you maintain high-performance fuel for your engine."
Of course he eats meat, and he isn't recommending anything even close to a vegetarian diet. He is simply pointing out that protein comes in many forms. And this quotation is even better:
While the updated dietary guidelines emphasize whole, nutrient-dense foods, Carson cautioned against relying solely on GLP-1s like Ozempic for weight loss. "All these artificial methods don't last a very long time. You have to keep taking them, and they're expensive," he said. About one in eight American adults, roughly 12%, have used GLP-1 drugs for obesity and diabetes, with around 6% currently taking them as they rise in popularity, as Fox News Digital previously reported.
Notice how the media conflate GLP-1 drugs used to control diabetes with the use of them for weight loss? There is a big difference, and Carson is referring only to its non-diabetes use. Maybe I am being picky, but I grow tired of this hysterical and illogical analysis of complex biomedical issues.
I like Alton Brown. He knows how to write recipes, and he is sufficiently compulsive for my taste. But...Best Burger Ever? Don't be ridiculous! It has lamb in it! And he puts mayo on the bottom of the bun, which is a perversion and unfitting of a true red-blooded American. On the other hand (where is the first hand?), his pie crust recipe is clever.
And why is my current obsession popcorn? This is why!
A friend graciously gave me some genuine grown-in-the-USA garlic, and I tasted one clove and planted the rest, because my pathetic failure last year is an anomaly...right? I hope so, because it's in the ground (actually, a large pot), and it had better work this time! Send all of your extra antelope to: cbd dot aoshq at gmail dot com. Rumor has it that the Bourbon Bubble is bursting. I have seen no evidence of decreasing prices, but maybe the bursting started somewhere else! I think the sweet spot is $40-$60 for excellent and interesting bottles, and bumping that to $100 gets you an incremental improvement in quality, but nothing mind-blowing. More than that and I think you are paying for hype and rarity, which may look good in your liquor cabinet, but doesn't translate to more quality in the bottle. The problem...or the solution...is to buy lots of bourbon, take tasting notes, and eventually arrive at your favorites! It should take forty or fifty years, but it is worth it!

I think his point was, if you want less meat, you can hit the recommended protein numbers with the dairy, soy, legume, fish, egg, nut, and other food families...

Notice how the media conflate GLP-1 drugs used to control diabetes with the use of them for weight loss? There is a big difference, and Carson is referring only to its non-diabetes use.
There is a buried lede there, though.
GLP-1s are not approved for treating type 1 diabetes.
So 6% of Americans, 1 in 17, are either so overweight they want to drug themselves to fix it, or they're so overweight they have type 2 diabetes and need drugs for that.
Presumably it's worse than that, since not everyone with type 2 is taking a GLP-1 drug for it.
Maybe that old carb-based food pyramid wasn't so great after all, eh?
"Experts." There aren't big enough air quotes to make that word work.

I rendered about a pint of tallow from a rib roast a few years back. Delicious. Absolutely the best beef stew has a tiny bit to make it coat your lips and mouth with deliciousness when you eat it.
Your Yorkeshires, you're using a muffin pan, yeah?
My English aunt always used a low muffin tin, no deeper than about 3/4" and wide, kind of what you see people use for baking muffin tops. I don't think you can use too much tallow, but it and the pan has to be hot enough to begin cooking the batter when you ladle it in.

Chicken Piccata Meatballs

Very nice variation on the usual meatballery. It was enjoyed by all.
So, if it sounds good to you, give it a whirl.
The Down Side? I burned the living doodad outta my hand when after pulling my pan out of the oven, and starting to set up the final dish, I absent-mindedly grabbed hold of a 400* pan handle.
Wholley Kau! The pain was so instantaneous and deep I thought I'd been shocked by electricity.
Anyway, I lived, and as a result I don't recommend grabbing onto 400* pan handles.

To do good cornbread your fat in the pan has to be hot enough that it sizzles when you pour the batter in. It sounds like the Yorkshire pudding had to be started the same way.

They do mail order. I ordered their PatriotsCreed vodka, their PatriotsCreed Pueblo Chili vodka, and their Mountain Summit whiskey.
The vodka is good; I compared it with Tito’s, and it is very similar. I doubt I could tell the difference.
The chile vodka is very, very good. It has a very light flavor of chili that made it good for sipping. I made a vodka tonic with it using Fever-Tree tonic water, and I’ll be making that again.
Their Mountain Summit whiskey is an odd duck. It’s not a bourbon, but it is a bourbon blend. I compared it to 1792 Small Batch Bourbon and to Herman Marshall Texas Rye.
It’s more of a bourbon than the Texas Rye, and more of a sipper than 1792. It made a very good highball.
I will probably be buying the whiskey and the chile vodka again. I will almost certainly try their bourbon if they are start shipping it or I see it somewhere.

I have never done it another way, but cast iron, with a good amount of fat. When you pour it in, residual fat comes up and over the top, and you get a nice crunchy crust on the bottom, sides, and a bit over the top where the hot fat flowed.

It makes the outside crispy.
It isn't important if you add the fat to the batter since it will grease the pan on its own that way, but if you like the crispy outside it is better.
FWIW (and with concern about restarting the ancient feud) it is a step in the recipe for unsweetened cornbread that they promote in the South

Not into all the trouble of making it yourself....try some Pennsylvania Dutch soda from Kutztown Soda Works. They use the same formula(s) they did back in 1851, and it's available in 25 different states...not just in the heart of PA Dutch land. Bonus: no corn syrup....not a drop. Only pure cane sugar.

That might well be true for the brand (which is no doubt full of processed sugar/HFCS, like essentially every other processed food) but I guarantee that the cornbread that was on Dolly's childhood table was not sweet. Gritty, perhaps. Sweet? No.

There was a video posted recently where people make lemon-lime soda out of nothing but pine needles and sugar. Put it in a jar, and tighten. I guess there's some kind of yeasty beasty living on the needles that creates the fizz after some time fermenting.

So...beef. I made an interesting experiment with a piece of eye round that the RMBS Mom discovered in her freezer. I got tasked with finding a way to cook it without it turning into the usual shoe leather that is eye round.
Solution? Of course...sous vide that shit!
18 hours at 131 degrees produced an eye round that was amazingly tender. There was, however, no Yorkshire pudding. Only a nice horseradish sauce.

I like to mix in just a tad of *mild* hot sauce if I'm using mayo on burgers.
I do like hot hot sauce on burgers, but it easily overwhelms mayo. Hot hot sauce works better with sour pickles and mustard.

I made it myself. Just ground venison. The ground venison isn’t the choicest part of the deer, so it’s naturally a little fattier.

Cornmeal, water and salt. Otherwise similar to grits. Growing up poor this is something she ate, and liked. There was a lot of stuff she didn't like I think she adds a bit of butter or bacon grease to hers because it's not at all bland.
She's coy about it's actual ingredients. I figure it was at one time squirrel or something like that.

My wife would agree with you. In one of his books, Malcolm Gladwell asserted that in a blind test in which participants are given either Coca Cola or Pepsi Cola, most could not tell which one they'd been given. Further, in a test with 2 samples of one and one sample of the other, most people couldn't even tell which one was different. That seems "sus" as the cool kids say but I haven't tried to replicate the experiment so I can't really say.

But they sure sold tons of "Classic" Coke when they brought it back. Almost enough to make one wonder if that were the plan all along. It's interesting to compare the resilience of brand loyalty for soft drinks to, say, light beer. I saw a stack of Bud Light at the grocery store today that was less than $4/24 after an $18/case rebate. Once people left Bud Light, they had very little incentive to go back to it. On the other hand, almost nobody who hated New Coke switched to Pepsi permanently.

Where did you source your bison? having lovingly hand harvested both (the bison was ranched so fed hay occasionally I am sure) and deer, both whitetail and mule deer (also grazing in local alfalfa and hay fields) in my experience is always leaner than bison.

It’s nice to put effort into providing for your loved ones. I cooked every day for my boys when they were small. And worked full time. It can be done. Thoughtfully. It takes effort, but I’d rather spend my effort providing for them than taking shortcuts with processed crap and then wondering why everyone has food sensitivities.
Just do it.
Posted by: nurse ratched at January 18, 2026 07:02 PM (IhIKR)
She cooked every day and wasted very little food. We didn't have "leftovers" so much as "re-made" foods. (Extra mashed potatoes became fried tater patties, for example.)
We usually had hot cereal like Oatmeal, Cream of Wheat, or Malt-o-meal for breakfast, with butter and brown sugar.
Typical cold cereals were Wheaties, Corn Flakes, or Shredded Wheat (wicker biscuits, LOL). We were allowed to put sugar on them but Mom made sure it was never "too much".

In pressure cooker-- cover with water and process the cheapest, toughest, least flavorful piece of beef available until sufficiently tender.
Add potatoes, turnips, carrots, onions, and/or whatever veggies you have. Salt and pepper. Maybe toss in one or two bouillon cubes. Simmer until veggies are softened.
Serve with bread and butter.
(yuck. Do not make this unless you add tons of flavorings and can substitute a decent cut of meat. Mom was still learning and on a strict budget back then LOL)

I've been using sand-filled "kettle bells" recently and you can kind of dial in your own final weight. One of the biggest cost in getting weights shipped is, well, the weight, duh, I know. But with the sand-filled weights you can get around that a bit. They are a bit floppy and have a bigger volume but that's fine for kettle bell training.

So the weight is short 0.2 ounces of a full three pounds.
Three pounds is 48 ounces: 3 X 16.
0.2 divided by 48 equals 0.00416.
Multiply that by 100 to turn it into a percentage and it equals 0.416 percent.
The weight is off by less than one half of one per cent.

It's Calif.. Oh Look, Calif has a budget crises... soooo...
They made it legal to enforce the speed limit by Photo and Radar machines, and send the ticket to the registered car owner...
On the same day they lower the speed limit on highways by 5 MPH.
Hundreds of thousands of tickets have been generated this month during a major operation of the Calif Highway Patrol.
Up until Jan 1 everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, drove 10 MPH over the speed limit... now you cannot.

A million years ago in Kansas there was a little convenience store/pharmacy retail outfit named Skaggs. Nice place if you just wanted a few items and didn't want to trudge through a store or walmart. Then they made sweet love with Osco and became Osco's. And then they had all had some kinky thing with Albertson's and now they're all gone.

This is not an outlier. Quite a few corporations play around with semantics and, there are even some out there who increased the thickness of their cardboard container to add that to their net weight. Periodically, some have gotten caught (Walmart took a major legal hit on this with some of their internal grocery items). But, they play fast and loose. Pasta is another one. They cut is just a smidge short and box it. That tiny shortfall is difficult to see outright. But the weight tells the story. They are dependent on apathy, and customers not having the calibrated equipment to catch them.

Crosby sailed the world in a 59-foot Honduran mahogany schooner called the Mayan. He piloted his own plane, lived on a ranch in the wine country north of Santa Barbara, and in his later years experienced a surprising burst of creativity that produced four albums along with concert dates across the country.
The bigger surprise, though, was that he had any later years at all. He suffered from diabetes and arterial disease, was implanted with eight cardiac stents, and survived heart attacks, blackouts, seizures and a motorcycle wreck. When hepatitis C destroyed his liver in 1994, doctors saved his life with a transplant. He was addicted to alcohol, heroin and cocaine, and got clean only after spending 11 months behind bars in Texas for drug and weapon offenses.
Asked in the 2019 documentary “David Crosby: Remember My Name” how he had managed to keep going, he answered succinctly: “No idea, man.”

What we are witnessing today is the largest ethno-cultural upheaval in Europe since the arrival of the Yamnaya around 5,000 years ago.
They laid the foundation of the European tribes and, ultimately, modern European nations.
Since then, there has been an unbroken chain of ethno-cultural continuity. All foreign invasions, from the Huns to the Ottomans to the Moors, were ultimately repelled.
Today, within just a few decades, this chain is being broken. The people living in huge parts of Europe, France, Germany, England, and Italy in 100 years will not be the descendants of those who lived there 100 years earlier.
This has never happened in the last 5,000 years.

Minnesota is transitioning from "Repressive Tolerance" to Maoist Mass Line enforcement - through targeted violence of its opposition (Minnesota citizens) - in the open streets, in broad daylight, with no law enforcement protection. The MPLS Police did not evacuate the streets; they turned them over to the revolutionaries. This is the counter-state in overwatch of the insurgency. Its code name is "Peaceful Protest."
This is what peaceful protest has always meant.
This is not street violence; this is revolutionary operations taking control of an urban area that will be replicated if not (properly) checked.

If I remember correctly, they did the same thing during the California Proposition 8 debate. Went after churches which were in support of Prop 8.
This is nothing new. And they never attack mosques, even though Islam and Muslims are the ones who are not only against the alphabet soup insanity, but they also take violent action against it.
In this case with illegal aliens, mosques are probably in on it. Actually surprising here, as a lot of churches support illegals as well, especially Catholic churches.

Greenland, NATO, The EU...The Clownshow Continues
Whether Greenland is a vitally important strategic island that absolutely requires American possession is a question for the ages, but it is a militarily-important bulwark in the North Atlantic. It is an excellent point from which to defend the Atlantic from the Arctic Ocean and the Barents Sea. Does it have enough rare earth elements and other resources to make it even more important? Yeah...probably not. We have plenty of that sort of stuff in America, it's just that we have an insane regulatory state that makes using our own resources a massive undertaking.
Because it is a territory of Denmark, the few people who live there are treated as vassals, when they are treated at all. That is entirely unsurprising, because the track record of European colonialism is mixed at best. Greenlanders Blast Danish Rule: 'They Stole Our Future'This shouldn't be taken as a sign that Greenland natives are anxious to come over to the United States. Denmark is trying to make amends to the natives who were thusly mistreated, to the tune of roughly $46,000 each in reparations. That's just; unlike the calls for reparations in the United States, these payments are being made to the living people who suffered under an unjust policy, which is quite a different kettle of fish. Many Greenland natives would rather the island be an independent nation. But that's not a tenable solution, especially in today's tense geopolitical atmosphere, where the Arctic is increasingly a vital strategic area, with all the major nations - the United States, Russia, and China in particular - looking to that region's resources. Greenland has to be under someone's defensive envelope, and even as a Danish possession, they fall under the protection of NATO, as it would as a possession of the United States.
President's Trump's saber rattling with respect to "taking Greenland" is entirely unnecessary, and could have been neatly avoided by playing up the miserable living conditions of the people of Greenland, and the equally miserable way they have been treated by the Danes. America could have been their knight in shining armor, bringing equality and prosperity to their shores. Making some offer to purchase or in some other way take possession of Greenland as a reasonable transaction between allies would have disarmed the reflexive nationalism that is bubbling up in Denmark and Greenland. Is the President's threat of military action a serious one? I doubt it. It is more of his unpredictability, which serves him quite well in many ways. But with Greenland I think it is bolstering the enemies of America. On the other side of the equation, the idea that the EU will rush in with military force to protect Greenland is clownish in the extreme. Force projection is a joke in the EU. They can barely keep their few planes flying, much less maintain any sort of heavy lift capability. In fact, in a recent military exercise, Germany sent 13 soldiers to Greenland, and they had to use a Polish airline to get them there. And less than two days later they were ordered out, presumably because of President Trump's comments. And the ridiculousness doesn't end there. Threats to throw America out of Europe if we take Greenland? Sure...that would mean an almost instant Russian victory in Ukraine, the loss of many billions of dollars of American spending in Europe, and the very real threat of an expansionist Russia, because there is simply no real military on the continent. So...everyone calm down. Greeenlanders? Take nice big checks written by America, and maybe some good high-paying jobs in our expanding military infrastructure and mining efforts. Denmark? Smile, cash the check, and relax now that you don't have to deal with Greenland. And the EU? Just sit down and shut up. Nobody cares what you think.

Upon returning to Iceland after his exile ended (around 985 CE), Erik the Red (Erik Thorvaldsson) promoted the land to attract settlers. According to medieval Icelandic sagas (primary sources like the Saga of Erik the Red and references in the Book of Icelanders), he named it Greenland because, as he reportedly said, "people would be more eager to go there if the land had an attractive name." This was essentially a marketing tactic to draw colonists, contrasting with Iceland's name (which emphasized ice to perhaps deter others or reflect features). [ ... ]
While some suggest the southern coasts were genuinely greener then (due to warmer climate allowing vegetation), historical accounts consistently point to Erik's promotional intent as the key reason for the name.

There were 15 of them.
Why have US presidents been seeking to acquire Greenland for over a hundred years, long before rare earth elements were even rare?
America is alone. It's time for people to stop apologizing and seeking coalitions of weaker countries that do nothing to benefit Americans. NATO does nothing for us. The UN does nothing for us. We are the people who benefit us.
Not long ago China offered to finance the building or 3 new airports in Greenland. 3 airports in a country of 55,000 people. Now why would China care about building airports in Greenland?

My sentiments as well when reading that. LA Dodgers signing Tucker just makes the vast majority of MLB fans hate the Dodgers more and hate what MLB has become. And driving more people away from MLB, because it's obvious their teams have no shot in a ridiculously unfair league.
This all started with TEX Rangers and the A-Rod contract decades ago and things have just gotten worse and worse and worse ever since. And even with the ridiculous amounts of money these players make, they STILL whine they are not making enough. It's laughable. All of professional sports is a joke now.

I think you exactly nailed why Trump is behaving this way. The Euros behave a lot like China. The EU face is profoundly anti American as their leadership views America as a strategic competitor--the NATO face is a supplicant because Euros do not want to pay for their own self defense nor build the militaries necessary to do so.
Ukraine is where the rubber meets the road and the ridiculous undermining US in trying to institute peace is a sign that the Euros essentially want to take hundreds of billions of Russian frozen foreign assets to plug their own decaying banks and finances. To keep the war going, they 'borrowed' billions against those assets to make up for massive decline in US support under Trump.

For a Golden Dome anti missile defense, Greenland is the path for those missiles coming it. As noted above by CBD, the Danes are perfectly willing to let China inside Greenland if they get a few bucks out of the process. Same as how China is trying to buy pols in some of the mid Pacific island chains for Chicom bases to undermine and threaten US forces at Guam.

That’s a very funny story, and is never taught well. (Only the sanitized version). Jefferson and his ambassador negotiated the deal and bought it on their own, most of Congress was outraged. But it was announced to the people, and after everyone was rejoicing Jefferson asked them “alright so you want me to give it back???”
Britain was really pissed off about it for a long time.

All that did was turn people that even liked Trump in Canada against him.
Canada has been in bed with China for decades. They have been a transit point for Chinese steel and other products that got passed through Canada with a "Product of Canada" tag to evade trade deals while closing their markets to US farm products.
Canada made their choice and now they can learn to live as a vassal state of China. Trump chose wisely.

Most European leaders are WEF, and the WEF is far more totalitarian in its aims than Russia. If you recall Hillary and her reset button, the dems adoration of Russia abruptly ended when Putin told Obama that he should not go down the communist road as it was a failure. IMO, dems hoped to spur Putin to revive the USSR. WEF is now following suit, although their plan is to dismantle Russia and take over the land and probably fill it full of Islamists. They are not afraid of Islam, they welcome it, and put the migrants up in hotels and give them cash. Like our Boasberg types, Europe if full of judged eager to let the migrants off when it comes to rape, assault and theft of any magnitude. We should consider deporting Somalis to London or Brussels

Leftists are always so feckless and weak on foreign policy that they almost never are capable of opposing a "camel's nose into the tent" strategy.
One possible scenario I see for Trump's apparent hardline stance is that we have some intelligence of China's next move. For example, China is going to build two "global warming scientific monitoring" stations in Greenland. Of course they need a harbor. Of course they need some dock cranes. Of course they need a sizeable fuel depot.
Then some Chinese fishing boat (spy trawler) signals international distress and needs to dock in the harbor.
For every single tiny step, some Euro politicians would say that is not a provocation for a reaction. Eventually the Chinese would have a military base.
Trump got the Euros to put soldiers on Greenland just over idle talk. Now the step to stop Chinese facilities is much easier for the surrender monkeys to initiate.

Complicated but Congress gave Jefferson the power to negotiate and buy New Orleans port, for about $10 million max.
Napoleon did one of his mercurial turns and suddenly said, how about I sell you ALL of France's holdings for $15 million. Jefferson accepted immediately despite the lack of preexisting Congressional approval to go over the amount to be paid for New Orleans.
Pissed off the Spanish and English but the American people as noted above cheered. And thus Jefferson asked for forgiveness from Congress by putting the Louisiana Purchase in form of a treaty before the Senate vote was 24-7.

an ongoing investigation into Danish physicians forcing birth control onto Greenlandic Inuit women during the 1960s and 1970s by placing intrauterine devices in thousands of Greenlandic Inuit girls and women, often without consent and under the direction of government officials.

I am also in favor of revoking Ilhan's citizenship, kicking her out of elected office and deporting her back to Somalia.
Those actions, combined with shutting down every single last fraudulent "business" these Somalis and their partners in Minnesota government had going, would go a long way to turning Minnesota back to normal.

Greenland is far more important to US defenses than Euroland anymore. The new model of warfare are missiles and drones, not armored warfare on the European plains. We need Greenland as the polar route is the route of a lot of ICBM missiles to the US and thus Greenland is key for the new Golden Dome defenses from rancid countries like China and perhaps, not likely Russia.
Reason why we were in Greenland in the first place after WWII.

Heart attacks from the COVID vaccination shots have been traced to the patients' names being written down in a Death Note. The Death Note is famous for causing the death of people whose names have been written upon its pages. It is unclear how the book came to be in possession of Dr. Fauci, or who taped a new cover to its front with "Vaccine Tracking Notebook" scribbed upon it.
Update: The FBI believes no doctor was involved in creating the cover. The new label was perfectly legible, indicating a separate source.
Update #2: the blue-haired nose-ringed demon reported by those who handled the Vaccine Tracking Notebook turned out to be an actual person. It is currently protesting nearby with a sign reading "ICE out of Venezuela!" and blowing a loud whistle.

Law is pretty clear. The Dems have been trying to use the idea from Obamacare Medicaid decision that cutting off funds hurts the poors but that particular decision, which distinguished previous decisions like SD v. Dole on the spending clause, does not apply to a state fomenting fraud on purpose for political power.

Trump & Co recently released a report on US global strategic priorities:
1. Fortress Americas with a latter-day Monroe Doctrine
2. The Far East. We'll try to get China to play nice, but if not see #1
3. Europe. Has lost its way. If they don't find their way back, it's on them. See #1
4. Africa. Benign neglect. See #1
"Greenland" is clearly part of #1.
But it's also #3. Denmark has sovereignty over Greenland only in a nominal way for historic reasons now obscure. You'd think our NATO allies would appreciate our strategic interest and play along. But no.
By sending a token resistance force our NATO allies are proving that the Alliance is long past its expiration.

I’m not sure Jefferson knew what was happening at the time. They didn’t have fast comms back then, it probably took 3 weeks to get a message from Europe to the U. States.
The plan was to purchase the port of New Orleans, as they had to be able to control the mouth of the Mississippi.
The French rep asked (Livingston?) “how about just buying all of Louisiana?” which at the time wasn’t even fully surveyed. It comprised about 2/3rds of what is now the USA, not just the area or what we call Louisiana now. All the way up to what is now Montana. About 3c an acre, not bad, Tom.

The point is that Tom immediately accepted without telling Congress and sent back instructions to buy the whole shebang via treaty. After the Treaty was inked, then Tom informed Congress presenting it with fait accompli.
If the Senate tried to vote against it, the people (and land speculating donors) would rise up and kick their asses out of office and if the House balked about the additional payment authorization, the same issue.
Tom wrote a 'hot' check for the Lousiana Purchase knowing that Congress would grudgingly have to approve the purchase after the fact.

So they have "empathy" for illegals which means they will try to stop laws from being enforced to deport them so they can harvest their votes, pay them below a "living wage" under the table, and grift off of their welfare. And it should be noted their level of support for illegals has directly increased as the infrastructure to use them has.

Another good take. I think though the threat is more Chinese than Russian. Putin can be lived with, Xi seeks to displace the US as the world's hegemon and is getting more and more desperate as internally China is falling apart.

The US built our first base in Greenland following Denmarks surrender to Hitler. It was then and is now a strategic outpost and Hitler knew it as well.

It behoves the U.S. to make Greenland a protectorate of the U.S. Government because Canada is totally inept.
As a U.S. protectorate, the indigenous population would continue their freedom without regulation to manage their own environment for their lifestyle. The U.S. would enhance their protection for calamity and health, not at their expence. The purpose would be not to make them into a welfare state, but an independent autonomous civilization with U.S. protection, unlike Denmark which surreptitiously enforced population control.

Source: Azeez Al-Shaair fined for 'stop the genocide' eye black
Houston Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair has been fined $11,593 for wearing eye black that contained the message "stop the genocide" during last week's wild-card game, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Sunday.
The message was in reference to concerns over Israel's policies in Gaza, where tens of thousands have been killed in Israeli military operations following the deadly Hamas attack on Israel in October 2023. Israel has adamantly rejected genocide allegations against it as an antisemitic attack.
Al-Shaair, who is Muslim, has aided Palestinians on the field by wearing cleats to support Palestinian causes through the NFL's "My Cause, My Cleats" program over the past few seasons.
"If my platform can bring even a little hope to families in Palestine, then that is what I want to use it for," he said in a statement earlier this season.

Also, this guy is a multi-multi-millionaire. If he cares about his cause so much, why isn't he either sending some of his millions to the people of Gaza or quitting football like Pat Tillman and joining the people of Gaza.

I disagree. No matter how Trump goes about pursuing his goals, it's ALWAYS wrong because Orange Man Bad. We all know the Left would shriek in rage if Trump cured cancer and try to find a way to stop people from benefiting from it.
The left does not respond to elegant manners and niceness. So why spend the extra energy trying to appease them?

Medieval warming period allowed the Vikings from Iceland to go west and find Greenland. Iceland by that time was deforested from being settled for several hundred years prior. Canada's east coast was called Vinland as grapes for wine could be grown.
"Around 985, Vikings founded the Eastern and Western Settlements, both near the southern tip of Greenland. In the colony's early stages, they kept cattle, sheep, and goats, with around a quarter of their diet from seafood. After the climate became colder and stormier around 1250, their diet steadily shifted towards ocean sources. By around 1300, seal hunting provided over three quarters of their food.
By 1350, there was reduced demand for their exports, and trade with Europe fell away. The last document from the settlements dates from 1412, and over the following decades, the remaining Europeans left in what seems to have been a gradual withdrawal, which was caused mainly by economic factors such as increased availability of farms in Scandinavian countries."

The EU countries worked personally to defeat Trump in the elections, they refused reasonable tariffs, they have worked against any chance of peace in Ukraine and have conspired to get US troops on the ground there.
They haven't been our allies since the 80s, if then.

Greenland is about the greatest real estate deal you could imagine, and Trump has to be about the most accomplished dealer in real estate you can imagine. To do this ridiculous back seat driving, as if YOU know better, is comically arrogant - you're just embarrassing yourself with it.
This is another "just sit down and shut up" situation. America is blessed to have a POTUS such as Trump handling this. More blessed than if somebody like you was handling the negotiations (and considering who Trump is, that's not even a slight against you).
But I disagree about Denmark. Greenland wants to be independent from them, but can't afford it. US has the money they need to have it. The deal practically writes itself, but independence from Denmark CUTS THEM OUT OF THE DEAL. They were invited to play ball, but said FU instead. Screw 'em, and their idiot EU clown show friends.
More than just getting the deal to happen, Trump is exposing who are really our friends and who isn't. 4D chess.
