Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Tuesday Overnight Open Thread - October 28, 2025 [Doof]![]() Blow It Out Yer... Not one, but TWO stories on this subject. WTF??? Butt Breathing May Soon Be A Real Medical Treatment A research team that previously won the 2024 Ig Nobel Prize in Physiology for discovering that mammals can breathe through their anus has released promising new findings on the potential medical use of this method in humans. Commonly referred to as “butt breathing,” the technique could one day offer an alternative treatment for patients suffering from severe respiratory failure. ![]() Take a deep breath, hold it in… Exhale. Now do the same thing through your butt. Well, you obviously can’t do that, because your lungs are hooked up to a different orifice. However, a recent scientific breakthrough has demonstrated that breathing through your booty is not only possible, but safe. Butt breathing doesn’t involve drawing air in through your back door, however. Instead, it works by pumping an oxygen-rich liquid solution into the intestines. *** Still, we’ve entered a brave new era for humanity. We can now not only talk out of our asses, but breathe through them too.Check out the links - if you dare! ----- Not related yet somehow related. Remember this one? As part of the jail intake process, Frymire underwent a body scan — standard procedure to prevent weapons or contraband from entering the facility. It was during this scan that deputies observed a thermos bottle lodged inside his body. “He brought a thermos into jail. That’s right — he put it in the exit ramp,” Sheriff Judd explained, using his typical blunt tone. Frymire allegedly told deputies the thermos bottle had been inserted approximately 24 hours prior but clarified he had not swallowed it.Ouch. Why?!? Halloween season is driving in new business for car washes across the country, thanks to a growing trend: the haunted car wash. Locations like Fast Splash Car Wash in Detroit are turning routine vehicle cleanings into immersive horror experiences complete with clowns, chainsaws, and strobe lights. Visitors to these haunted car washes remain in their vehicles as actors in costume approach, tapping windows, yanking at door handles, and delivering frights between sprays of soap and spinning brushes. For many, the eerie atmosphere stirs childhood memories of being uneasy during a standard car wash – now amplified with Halloween theatrics. *** While no official data exists on the economic impact of haunted car washes, the International Carwash Association notes that offering a “memorable or differentiated wash experience” is considered “very important” by the majority of car wash businesses. For many operators, the haunted car wash is not just a seasonal gimmick – it’s a creative way to attract new customers, boost revenue, and stay top-of-mind in their communities during the competitive Halloween season.Video segment at the link. ----- Our friend OrangeEnt sent in this video to help us get into the Halloween spirit:
(from thisdayinmusic.com) On this date in 2022: One of the last survivors of rock 'n' roll's golden age Jerry Lee Lewis died aged 87. Nicknamed "the Killer", he was described as Rock and roll's first great wild man On this date in 1997: R.E.M. drummer Bill Berry announced that he was leaving the group after 17 years, becoming a farmer. On March 1, 1995, at the Patinoire Auditorium in Lausanne, Switzerland, Berry collapsed on stage during an R.E.M. show from a ruptured brain aneurysm. He recovered but left saying that he no longer had the drive or enjoyment level to be in the band. Born on this date in 1972: American country music singer, songwriter, and guitarist Brad Paisley. He has charted more than 50 singles on the Billboard country singles charts ![]() Comments or questions? Suggestions for content? Rush tickets to donate?

The Twiteratti are losing their minds over the official White House tweet with an AI generated President Trump as the Masterchief declaring "Power to the Players" as HALO is now being ported to the Playstation.
DHS has also Tweeted out an image of a Spartan manning the gun on a Warthog with the message "Defeat the Flood" to recruit people for ICE. Meanwhile the original composer for the HALO music, Marty, is running for Congress as a Trump supporting Republican. Posted by: Anna Puma at October 28, 2025 10:04 PM (oOa2w) 13
Kyle Seraphin, when he was an FBI agent, followed the pipe bomb suspect on video to a metro station where he used an identified metro card who's owner is known. He rode the Metro into VA where he got into a car owned by the same person who owned the Metro card. Kyle was going to interview the owner of the car and metro card when he was taken off the investigation and subsequently fired by the FBI. The metro card owner is retired military ordinance specialist who is a government contractor. My guess is he works for BATFE. The only way BATFE could get into the FedSurrection/Reichstag Fire op on J6 was through the Explosives part of their name. And the phone company denies his phone data was scrambled. The NSA records every phone call in DC - ask them who the suspect was.
No offense, but Inspector Clouseau could have caught the pipe bomber years ago. In fact the Keystone Cops would have been beating this guy with billy clubs for the entire Biden administration. Even Chief Wiggum of the Springfield police could have had this guy booked and cooked by now.

Did Knievel even modify the suspension … at all?
Jumping a Harley is stupid … at best. Modern dirt or Enduro bikes have fully articulated deep stroking (no jokes pliz) shocks that make jumps almost routine. The MFer was crazy. He was cool though. My parents didn’t think so. Every kid with a bike started jumping everything. We had a nice hill in our parents backyard, and we setup a ramp and set it on fire before making the jumps. My suspicion is, Emergency Room visits spiked anytime ole Evel made another jump on ABC. LOL Posted by: Common Tater at October 28, 2025 10:15 PM (pPsbV) 51

c.1973 I saw E. Knievel jump a bunch of cars at Castle Rock, Co. They had a racetrack just west of the interstate. The show was good. He did something I never saw on TV. About 5 minutes before he made the jump, he walked up the landing ramp and drew a circle with chalk, about 3 feet in diameter. Never mentioned it. Made the jump. Went down on the track afterward and the landing tire mark was inside the circle. Dude new some stuff!

There was a large young lady in the sex offender unit who would shove c or d cells up her butt, mostly on weekends.

I have photos of piles of maple leaves every October, but with grandchildren diving in vs a doggie. They are insane. We plan this again this weekend with a cousin of theirs. I have requested they wear swim goggles as our girl got a bit in her eye last weekend. Love Brad Paisley, and, yeah, I know he has a liberal stripe. However he seems very grounded, married to the wife of his youth, very funny, and a nice guy. He knew he wanted to marry Kimberley the first time he saw her in a movie. Would love to see him someday if we can. https://tinyurl.com/5y3f7mva My song of faith in love, striking twice, by Alison Krauss and Union Station.

Posted by: Anna Puma at October 28, 2025 10:31 PM (oOa2w) This really depends on the market - if houses are selling quickly, it might not matter. A cash offer is always going to be more attractive due to the lack of complexity if there are multiple equal or close to equal offers. I would get a buyers agent to help you with this, so you get true comps, etc. For reference, we took the cash offer on our house in NJ when we moved back here, but it was still 10% above asking, because the market was insane.

I reacted with instant blind rage. A frat boy, and I chased him after trying to hit his head with the lid of a cast iron Dutch oven I was carrying. Long story I will spare you all. I immediately yelled, "You bastard!" and gave chase. The lid weighted me down and I should have dropped it or thrown it at him...and then caught him and beat him to a pulp. My male apt mates made me call the police and I am sure the policeman enjoyed reporting this to his fellow cops. Back then I did not cuss as much as I do in my brain now, which I need to change before I get senile. At least I know I will fight from that lesson.

Butt breathing doesn’t involve drawing air in through your back door, however. Instead, it works by pumping an oxygen-rich liquid solution into the intestines.
I remember a plot point in the movie The Abyss was that there was a LOX solution you could use to dive deeper. IIRC the problem with this in the real world is that then you accumulate CO2 with no way to remove it since your lungs are full of fluid. How would this work for butt breathing?

Posted by: An Observation Is the "butt breathing" thing based on using CO2 to "inflate" the area for a colonoscopy camera? When they used just normal air, you'd have to fart it all back out, and have the gas cramps that go along with it. CO2 gets absorbed into the blood and processed out normally. So they realized they could introduce O2 as well as CO2 into the bloodstream through the back door? Posted by: mikeski is just assking questions at October 28, 2025 10:45 PM (nhCoE) 183

Posted by: Anna Puma at October 28, 2025 10:31 PM (oOa2w) Make sure you know what you a) want to pay, b) what you are willing to pay, and c) what your limit is. Lowball it, and look depressed when they counter-offer. I figure the seller can't say no unless I make an offer, so I am really just doing him a favor. When I bought I was looking at local prices versus what I liked about my place.

Jeff Childers, who has a brilliant blog (Coffee & Covid), posited today that Bill Gates is pivoting to distance himself from the glo-bull warmening grift, because of the USAID and NGO being defunded, and the Trump administration's abandonment of sll things "green". He's looking for more lucrative sources. Posted by: Fastly Strokewater =============== I also wouldn't be surprised if Gates is plumb tired of it, and maybe exasperated with all the "experts" he relied on with their warnings not coming true. Kind of embarrassing, and maybe he was kind of jacked around. Maybe back off this one and find the new hotness. I hear Islamophobia is very big right now, also all the talk about a Universal Basic Income. Could be a very effective lever of power.

Way, way, WAY off topic for the thread but I have to share.
I moderated an parish wide Town Hall today with the subject being do we take the next steps investigating building a new Parish Life Center. Pretty good questions from the crowd, no fistfights and surprisingly, no shouting. We currently have $1.5M in our building fund and haven't even started a fund-raising campaign as of yet.

When they used just normal air, you'd have to fart it all back out, and have the gas cramps that go along with it. CO2 gets absorbed into the blood and processed out normally.

Caution on the inspectors. There good and thorough one's and there are, the other. One house that passed inspection with flying colors had mixed aluminum and copper wiring. (Hint, don't use a realtor recommended inspector) another house that the inspector said was unlivable sold at 7% over every penny, including utilities, that was put into it.

four seasons, windows are not hard to replace, and you might want to replace them anyways. If you are in the hard-winter part of the US they have better insulating windows that will make life nicer, and are darned sight nicer than the vinyl or Al framed ones.

Berserker,
They look like the white parts are vinyl. We think the metal tracks are warped. They need to be either worked on or replaced. Posted by: four seasons at October 28, 2025 11:06 PM (3ek7K) Sounds like they may be vinyl replacement windows, but I'm not sure I ever saw any with metal tracks. Usually the tracks are vinyl and there some kind of tube looking mechanism that holds the spring. I'm asking because sometimes I ran across replacements that were done and shimmed on the sides way too much literally squeezing the window to where it couldn't be moved. I have seen some replacement windows years ago that did actually have a metal/aluminum track, but it wasn't a self contained replacement. You got 2 tracks and 2 sashes and installed it all into the original jambs, but those didn't have any moving parts. If they are actual vinyl replacements with damaged mechanisms it "could" be a bitch to find parts depending on the style and age. I did 100's of windows in my time. If I saw it I could tell you immediately whats going on, but from here I'm only guessing.

Posted by: Kindltot at October 28, 2025 11:22 PM (rbvCR) If it is a ball or roller bearing, you can get a new one from a bearing supply house. They are very standardized. Even the part numbers track from brand to brand. A 6201 is a 6201 is a 6201. 'Bout the same as flashlight batteries. If you can get the old bearing out, there should be a number on it you can search. Worst case? Measure I.D., O.D., thickness, and note presence of shields or seals. Nearly all ball and roller bearings are dimensioned in metric units, and have been for decades.

Nursing error I should have caught before typed above with the enemas on a raft idea. Too LITTLE sodium can cause cerebral edema, not too much. Hyponatremia ain't going to happen with a salt water enema.
So I reckon if Gilligan is acting wonky let's get that salt water squirted inside him! Using what I do not know! In a raft, who has a plastic straw? I don't want to think about this before bed. This is why the Pediatric Academy started frowning on teaching babies to swim, after I'd already taught our sons. Because some nitwits kept dunking the babies too much vs 2-3 times, the babies swallowed a ton of water, and their sodium levels went low and they died. It is because of complete idiots that children went on to probably drown vs float. Mine at least, as babies, could come to the top of the water, flip over on their backs and/or swim to the side before they were two yrs old. Both of our parents had pools, we lived in FL with water everywhere at the time, and I am a good swimmer. Drowning was not an option. Our toddler did fall into one of the pools once but knew what to do as I snatched him out within seconds. All it takes is one second and they can fall in.

Four seasons: have a great and wonderful 49th!!!
We replaced all of our blasted windows along with everything else. They are pretty fast when they do it and the first were replaced during a cold rainstorm and snow. Which was cold, but worth it. We did it in two swoops. PITA, but lowered heating and cooling bills. We'd been here about 2yrs when a lot of rain from the south caused leaks on all of the south windows. A fine mess. Those were replaced first. The most recent are triple paned facing north. A lotta windows in this house. I think last spring. Either Anderson or something else, and look for sales. In our first very small house in FL my husband replaced every old jalousie window one weekend when I was at work and he had the 4 and 2yr old chimps. At one point he did find the baby hanging out of one. I figured it would be a mess with bats flying in at night, but he got it done somehow!

Unfortunately he discovered he could pee at the beach one day at 18mo. This led to me seeing him in the backyard wanting to pee outside vs inside. He finally figured it out. Then came the pee wars and an eventual replacement of their toilet. I have read of women, who seem to be hippies, letting their kids run around nekkid to potty train. Done in a weekend I read! This might work but what happens when they wear clothing? I also was not keen on what happened if it failed as life was hard enough at the time. The juggle was real.

Water filters work great for fresh water. Sea water is a problem however. Filters won’t remove minerals or salt. Distillation is one method, not practical on a raft. Survival kits have a few cans of water, but it won’t last long.
Reverse osmosis devices have sort of obviated the problem, but they are slow at best, and expensive. I read a book called “The Raft” about 3 navy aviators who ditched at sea and spent a month in a very small raft in the pacific. They were baked in the sun like broiled lobsters. They would soak up brackish rainwater in a shirt and try to drink that once in a while. Dixon, Aldrich, and Pastula were their names. Posted by: Common Tater at October 28, 2025 11:55 PM (eXRad) 317

My current washing machine here in Alberta is a Whirlpool direct-drive top-loader. No belts in it. Built differently, too. Undo 2 screws and some clips, and the entire cabinet tilts forward and slides off the base, exposing all the works. The pump, which leaked slightly, is located low in the front. 2 hoses, and two screws, i think, and out it comes. Control is old-school mechanical timer.
The real leak was not the pump; it was the corrugated pump-out hose chafing on the cement floor, which wore a hole in it. Splinted that up, and it will never be a problem again. Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at October 29, 2025 12:12 AM (npFr7) 334

When President Trump imposed sweeping tariffs on Chinese goods, the Chinese Communist Party didn’t just retaliate with trade measures. It launched an information war, using American insiders to spread its narrative that tariffs were reckless and self-defeating.

My young 'ens work several local food distributions handing out food. There is much to be had free or for very little money. They occasionally bring home some of the excess, and we try to figure out what to do with, say 70 heads of cabbage or something.

I worked on a few projects with a wiki. It works ok if it's set up right. By now, I imagine that any decent IT department has a standard template.
Never used it on any of the project where I was lead. Had project meetings MWF, with progress reports due in my inbox by Friday. I'd summarize, send it up the chain, and cc everyone in the project. Of course a wiki is better if you have remote workers, but we were doing hardware which doesn't lend itself to remote as easily as software.

Posted by: Braenyard ---------- Ah! Thanks. And from that source, here is commentary regarding the philosophy that was evolving in Ward's idea, even in the late 70's, via mail, before there were 'digital spaces': Ward Cunningham's invention of the wiki in 1995 was grounded in a philosophy of radical trust, positing that collaborative editing could thrive through an assumption of good faith among participants, obviating the need for stringent verification or credentials prior to contributions. This ethos enabled the WikiWikiWeb, initially serving as a dynamic knowledge base for software pattern discussions among a small group of programmers, where emergent consensus would refine content over time. Cunningham emphasized creating an environment fostering human connection in digital spaces, allowing strangers to build trust sufficient for co-creating meaningful artifacts without centralized control Posted by: Mike Hammer, etc., etc. at October 29, 2025 01:22 AM (XeU6L) 417

12 Hi Tony! Been on keto for over 2.5 years now- when I do have carbs, maybe once a month, before races or on a date, I get an energy rush but crash after big time. Going back on keto is easy transition though, don’t get “keto flu” like I did at start- think probably because I quickly burn all stored glycogen and body is conditioned now to primarily burn fat/protein.

I quickly burn all stored glycogen and body is conditioned now to primarily burn fat/protein.
——— Humans are adapted (or created if you will) to burn fat. Protein is only burned in a serious starvation. This takes a long time. It is important to consume enough protein, for adult males it is closer to 100 grams daily. The USDA claims about half that. Go figure. As we age our bodies do not utilize protein efficiently, so don’t think only bodybuilders need lots of protein. Posted by: Common Tater at October 28, 2025 07:58 PM (HmHHo) 55

Very few of them seem to realize they have email addresses stored in several unlinked systems, not just the ONE they know about.

That last porch pirates is a lawsuit Posted by: Accomack ============== Why only the last one? Posted by: Blonde Morticia at October 28, 2025 08:07 PM (5e+/e) _________________________ It's funny. It's justified. BUT, it is, also, highly illegal. And, unless you have your property posted, every single one of those people stealing have an "invitee" status on your property to the front door. Civil suits don't give a flying eff about your morals and indiscretions. All they care about is liability. And, eventually, one of these thieving geniuses is going to take the hit legally to have a chance at the jackpot in civil court. And guess what? You're insurance company will wash their hands of the entire matter due to an "Intentional act." And, if John Q Homeowner who will be paying for the attorney and any verdict rendered by our lovely jury pools. Not worth it...but still entertaining.

I own a Maine Coon, Tom. When I took him off the street at age six weeks, I thought he was just another orange cat. He quickly grew into a giant Lovebeast, a Cat Dialed Up To Eleven in strength, cunning, and Catitude.
And hair! OMG, the shedding and the hairballs! I should have named him Shed. Or Puke. When I open a fresh bag of dry chow, all the cats wolf it down. (A bag lasts less than a week, and they don't like it as much when the bag's been open even a day.) So Tom stuffs himself. Then he goes through all the kitchen cabinets looking to eat something, anything, that will make him barf. He prefers to eat certain plastic films and wax paper as an emetic. I try, not hard enough I guess, to keep him away from that stuff. Then he vomits it all up, in every room that he isn't locked out of. He's a mobile barfer.

Heeb is a racial (ethnic?) slur against Jewish people. _________ "Hebe" has been considered offensive for a long time. "'We’re living in a sensitive age, Cuke,” Skeffington had said, 'and I’m not altogether sure you’re fully attuned to it. For example, if the Jewish Businessmen’s Association was having a small get-together and you were to speak at it, I have the feeling that your first story might begin with the words: ‘A little Hebe named Epstein was walking down the street one day...’ Now you may not realize it, but that kind of thing doesn’t exactly bring the Jewish vote swarming to my doors." - Edwin O'Connor The Last Hurrah (1956) Posted by: Hadrian the Seventh at October 28, 2025 08:38 PM (tgvbd) 137

Katko v. Briney is the case some entitled porch pirate will use if they try to go after you in civil court and can show injuries. Every single one of the examples on that video above can lead to injuries. The courts value bodily injury above loss of property.
In the Katko case, some farmer was pissed off because a continued rash of burglaries to his uninhabited house, so he set up a trap in one of the bedrooms what would fire a shot gun at knee level if someone opened it. Well, someone did and that guy won $30k back in 1971. Today, it would be high six figure. The porch pirate would have to show injuries from the glitter bombs or whatever. But, there is no shortage of plaintiff leaning doctors out there. It's just a risk I wouldn't take regardless of how entertaining and deserved.

My idea to fight porch pirates has always been to enlist neighbors in a package scheme. Just keep a one or two package-looking boxes on your porch at all times. Go ahead and label them "Empty Box, You Fucking Pirate and Smile for Hidden Camera." If everyone in the neighborhood put the empty boxes on their porches, the pirate would have to visit every single porch to find the actual loot. They'd be running from house to house (not suspicious at all, lol) or they'd possibly have to follow delivery trucks and note the addresses that got packages. Huge expenditure of time for possibly getting low-value items. Posted by: Blonde Morticia at October 28, 2025 08:54 PM (5e+/e) 172

Posted by: Blonde Morticia at October 28, 2025 08:37 PM (5e+/e) ____________________ Eye injuries would be the soup du jour on the glitter bombs. My favorite isn't even a porch pirate trap. Have you ever seen the stolen bicycle ones? They lock a very expensive bike to a poll or even a bike stand and just wait for the usual suspect to show up with a chain cutter. They cut the lock, hop on and try to ride away. They get about 20 yards and the entire bike falls apart because all the screws were loosened or removed. It's hilarious. But, risky.

I would suspect eye injuries. Not worth the risk. I had items sent to an Amazon locker when we had a pirate problem which the hood solved.
Sometime in the 1920’s, a NYC transit cop helped a guy board a subway. In doing so, an illegal firework fell from the passenger’s bag, went off, knocked a tile from the ceiling and injured a third party. Courts held NYC liable because the cop knocked the firework out. Platsgraff or something like that. Crazy kraut name. I knew to quit law right then. Posted by: Accomack at October 28, 2025 08:58 PM (Dpv2s) 186

——— I don’t care for apologia for criminals, particularly because the Law is an Ass, and has ironically brought us to this point. But all this legal minutiae is a legacy of a society that is long, long gone. It was only in a high trust society that valuable items could simply be left on people’s porch in the first place. So I’m completely unmoved by legal twaddle at rhis point. And to your point - see also “Judgment Proof” The bottom feeder attorneys only go after people with money in the first place.

Posted by: gp at October 28, 2025 08:15 PM (7imtn) Often linked databases have a level that informs all the dependent layers, and quite often a representative or cube-rat only works in one level, and is only accustomed to the work layer he or she works in, which leads to frustration when any change is merely local, instead of global in the system. Especially if it is strictly compartmentalized and the operator doesn't have access to the other areas.

OH, and in case the incompetence in the Louvre heist was bad, it just got worse. The gendarmes say that whoever on the force revealed that suspects were arrested blew their case with this premature revelation. They hadn't finished interrogating the suspects they had, they were hoping to find more perps, and they were definitely hoping to recover the loot. Thanks to the at-large perps now being alerted that the others were in custody, they've probably fled and hidden the loot. Posted by: Blonde Morticia at October 28, 2025 09:34 PM (5e+/e) 251

“Isolationist” is a carefully curated pejorative from about 1940. It was coined that way. Intended that way. Brought to you (probably) by the same folks who coined “Conspiracy Theory” to those who were at least a mite skeptical of the whole JFK murder and the Warren report.
Anyhoo, they sanctioned Japan, froze assets, cut off their oil (Japan has no natural resources of her own) thus guaranteeing an attack sooner or later. Right or Wrong - Does that sound “isolationist” to you? Does that sound “Non Interventionist”? (a somewhat more accurate term, if not one of sneering opprobrium). I don’t think so, because it isn’t.

Re the bunker. Apparently there is a 5 story structure under the North Lawn of the White House. According to Grok, during preparations for this Ballroom construction, some safety study data involving something about ground penetrating radar used to detect all the utility stuff around the WH layout was leaked. It didn't seem that bad, but it analysis of it showed massive voids under the North Lawn. There is a investigation going on about the breach -- this has been planned a while, and that leak was in April of this year. What amazes me is nothing has been mentioned in the mainstream press about this. But it's out there, as Grok knew all about it.

To clarify it wasn't a "leak", just some sloppy release of information that shouldn't have been -- the GSA was the one that did, at least according to Grok. Remember a sinkhole that developed in the North Lawn in 2018? That was due to that massive digging and structure that was built. It was done in the Big Dig in 2010 - 2012. Barky's basketball court or whatever it was the cover for that. When you're going to be excavating massive amounts of dirt, well, you've got to have some excuse for all the truck traffic.

Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at October 28, 2025 10:31 PM (j5WMt) Quick Hits![]() LOL, Jeffrey Epstein "pal" Bill Gates walks back his previous banana-boat climate catastrophism. Billionaire Bill Gates -- long one of the loudest voices warning of climate catastrophe -- now says the world has bigger problems to worry about. In a 17-page memo released Tuesday, the Microsoft co-founder called for a "strategic pivot" away from the obsessive focus on reducing global temperatures, urging leaders instead to prioritize fighting poverty and eradicating disease in the developing world. "Climate change is a serious problem, but it's not the end of humanity," Gates wrote. Gates, 70, argued that global leaders have lost perspective by treating climate change as an existential crisis while millions continue to suffer from preventable diseases like malaria. "If I had to choose between eradicating malaria and preventing a tenth of a degree of warming, I'd let the temperature go up 0.1 degree," he told reporters ahead of next month's U.N. climate conference in Brazil. "People don't understand the suffering that exists today." For decades, Gates has positioned himself as a leading advocate for global climate initiatives, investing billions in green energy projects and warning of the dangers of rising emissions. Yet his latest comments mark a striking reversal -- and a rare admission that the world's climate panic may have gone too far. "If you think climate is not important, you won't agree with the memo," Gates told journalists. "If you think climate is the only cause and apocalyptic, you won't agree with the memo. It's a pragmatic view from someone trying to maximize the money and innovation that helps poor countries."

Indiana announces it will redistrict for 2026. They might go for two whole seats. The current makeup is 7 Republicans, two Democrats. Republican Indiana Gov. Mike Braun announced Monday that he's calling lawmakers back to the Capitol for a special legislative session to redraw the state's congressional map -- a move expected to solidify GOP representation and potentially add up to two more Republican-held seats ahead of the 2026 midterms. Braun said in a statement posted to X that he's taking action "to protect Hoosiers from efforts in other states that seek to diminish their voice in Washington" and to ensure Indiana's congressional representation remains fair. The governor's call follows President Donald Trump personally urging Indiana Republicans earlier this month to move quickly on redistricting before next year's elections. "I am calling a special legislative session to protect Hoosiers from efforts in other states that seek to diminish their voice in Washington and ensure their representation in Congress is fair," Braun wrote. "I am also asking the legislature to conform Indiana's tax code with new federal tax provisions to ensure stability and certainty for taxpayers and tax preparers for 2026 filings." Indiana's current U.S. House delegation consists of seven Republicans and two Democrats. While Braun didn't specify whether the goal is to flip both Democrat-held seats, GOP strategists view the session as a clear opportunity to grow the party's majority and counter Democrat-led gerrymanders in blue states.Elon Musk has launched a direct (and superior) competitor to wikipedia, Grokipedia. Elon Musk's artificial intelligence venture xAI launched "Grokipedia" on Monday -- a new online encyclopedia built to challenge what he says is Wikipedia's entrenched political bias. The site, powered by xAI's technology and integrated with Grok, the same AI system behind Musk's X platform, aims to provide a politically balanced alternative to the long-dominant Wikipedia, which critics have accused for years of leftist censorship and selective editing. Grokipedia, now live in its beta "v0.1" stage, opens with roughly 885,000 entries -- a fraction of Wikipedia's seven million English-language pages but a notable start for a platform that launched just hours ago. Some users experienced temporary errors upon the rollout, but by Monday evening the site was running smoothly. Musk framed the project as part of his broader effort to restore transparency and ideological diversity to the digital space, echoing his moves to overhaul Twitter into X. The billionaire's feud with Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales has grown increasingly bitter in recent months. Musk has accused Wales of allowing Wikipedia to devolve into a propaganda outlet that protects liberal narratives while suppressing dissenting voices. "Defund Wikipedia until balance is restored," Musk wrote in a January post on X. Wales, for his part, has dismissed Grokipedia as an unserious experiment, telling the Washington Post last week that AI-generated content is prone to "massive factual errors" and lacks editorial oversight.

The billionaire's feud with Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales has grown increasingly bitter in recent months. Musk has accused Wales of allowing Wikipedia to devolve into a propaganda outlet that protects liberal narratives while suppressing dissenting voices. "Defund Wikipedia until balance is restored," Musk wrote in a January post on X. Wales, for his part, has dismissed Grokipedia as an unserious experiment, telling the Washington Post last week that AI-generated content is prone to "massive factual errors" and lacks editorial oversight.
++++ Minor? Yes. For now. Unserious? Definitely not. With Musk's track record of vendetta against those who piss off his pals or offend him, you'd think they'd eventually take notice. It ain't called "X" now because Musk *doesn't* go hard when he makes up his mind to act. Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at October 28, 2025 06:27 PM (CgKt6) 45

Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog The number one thing that artificially inflates the price of groceries is the food stamp program. The federal government is subsidizing groceries for 40 million people which obviously drives up the cost. That's why the increase in the cost of groceries tracks exactly with the increase in the number of people on food stamps. So as a functional, contributing, working American, you're getting scammed twice. Once when the government steals from your paycheck and gives it to EBT recipients, and again when you go to the grocery store. You're paying twice so that morbidly obese people can buy Doritos on your dime. Infuriating. https://is.gd/bt19uU Posted by: ShainS -- Bury My Heart At a Texas MoMe at October 28, 2025 06:40 PM (rU3O3) 102

What's hilarious is that in Texas polls, Jasmine is leading the field to be their Senate Nominee in 2026. I have been predicting this to friends for a couple months, and none of them would believe me. Well here it is - Loud and Proud Ghetto Bitch shouts every other Democrat wannabe off the stage, they can't compete.
The best part is that Hispanic voters, men and women, hate the loud Ghetto Bitch type, they see too much of them every day already. If possible, Black men as a group hate the type even more. Jasmine herself will make a fortune off the move, and put it all into her growing stock portfolio - maybe one day she can rival Tina Turner's Acid Queen. Meanwhile, this will drive the final nail into the coffin of the Texas Dem Party.

Wow, no INSTITUTIONAL bias against Whites?
Uh... may want to look at the last 45 years of Military Promotions. They EXPLICITLY were promoting Women and Minorities on a quota basis. It was really bad in my Job, Electronics Tech. In the 80's and 90's, Women were less than 5% of my Job... Minorities, especially Black? probably 2 or 3%. Yet at the upper enlisted Level, they were almost Auto Promoted to Chief Petty Officer. Saw it time and again where Women and Minorities were suddenly put in charge of Men who had much better records... but were White Men. Happened to me a couple of times... Hell... EX wife who had never been to sea at all, was promoted to a Higher Rank than me, right after I got back from Desert Storm.

There are some secret escape "hatches" in there. In an emergency, there's a way to get POTUS out and deep underground quickly. There's a picture or two of the inside area of PEOC (the bunker supposedly under the East Wing), I think taken during 9/11. But you'll see no indication of that on any of the public floor plans. But there's ways to get down there. Supposedly there's an escape entrance close to the Oval Office, and a tale that Reagan used that to smuggle Nixon into the Oval Office for a meeting about something.

Note the Treasury building is just across the street on the east side, across from the now demolished East Wing. There is supposedly quite an underground structure under there. There's some massive vaults, and the thing is pretty stout and deep. The PEOC bunker is connected to that. Hell, it would surprise me if "under the East Wing" is sort of a misdirection. Another big of speculation is just how far and wide those secret tunnels and bunkers go. I've seen speculation about that, and some tales about secret digging, and how they would hide all the dirt for contruction of any really long underground tunnels. Also, it wouldn't surprise me if this ballroom is going to provide cover for some much-needed upgrades to that secret undeground complex.

That leaked out, and was analyzed to show massive voids under the North Lawn. Estimated at 5 stories. This was likely constructed during the Big Dig during 2010 - 2012.

Psychopaths have a 10% larger striatum than non-psychopaths, suggesting biological differences in brain structure. This enlargement is tied to impulsivity and a higher craving for stimulation.

Of Course Warren leaves out the part that its all privately funded.
How are these criminally stupid people selected to govern? JHSC Posted by: melodicmetal1 at October 28, 2025 08:08 PM (XLfSN) As Democrats Spiral Crazily Over the East Wing Renovation, Noted Chinese Spywhore Asset Eric Swallowell Declares That All Democrat Candidates Must Vow to Raze the (Finished) Ballroom to the GroundThe Democrats keep discovering new issues to obsess over and alienate normie voters with. Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., was mocked for demanding that any 2028 Democratic presidential candidate pledge to demolish President Donald Trump's ballroom. "Don't even think of seeking the Democratic nomination for president unless you pledge to take a wrecking ball to the Trump Ballroom on DAY ONE," Swalwell wrote on X on Saturday. Swalwell followed up with another post to X that read, "Or, as @RubenGallego proposes, rename it the Barack Obama Ballroom. But a Trump monument to corruption will not stand." The Democratic lawmaker was called out by conservatives and lawmakers, including Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, who wrote, "these people are deranged." "I thought you guys were against demolishing anything at the White House," Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, wrote. ... The ballroom's construction set off a firestorm of criticism among Democrats, as well as liberal media commentators. "Oh you're trying to say the cost of living is skyrocketing? Donald Trump can't hear you over the sound of bulldozers demolishing a wing of the White House to build a new grand ballroom," Democratic Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren posted to X. But conservatives took aim at Swalwell's demands. "Yes, Democrats should run on Trump's ballroom," The Washington Free Beacon's Chuck Ross said. Conservative commentator AG Hamilton called out Swalwell for "promising to spend taxpayer time and money" to destroy the ballroom. He quipped that it was "certainly one way to signal priorities for Democrats." Glenn Reynolds notes that even though the Democrats' florid insanity is driving down their poll numbers to the basement, they just can't stop. Insane people cannot just stop being insane. Obsessives gonna obsess, neurotics gonna neuro. President Donald Trump has done it again -- sent the left and the media (but I repeat myself) down a rabbit hole of absurdity. "It's like the media is a cat and Trump has the world's biggest laser pointer," Margo Cleveland posted on X, "with it currently aimed at the new ballroom." That's right: While Trump tours Asia, dancing, making trade deals and apparently having a blast, he's got his opponents back in the Swamp obsessing over . . . a home renovation project. Using donated funds, not taxpayer money, Trump is rebuilding the White House's shabby East Wing -- originally added to cover up construction of a bomb shelter during World War II -- to create a large and modern space that meets the needs of today's presidency. Naturally, this has the usual gang of idiots fuming. Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) on Saturday lectured his fellow Democrats not to even imagine running for the presidential nomination unless they "pledge to take a wrecking ball" to Trump's renovation.Update to Previous Post: More videos of Subsidized Citizens threatening to loot grocery stores at Hot Air.

"Don't even think of seeking the Democratic nomination for president unless you pledge to take a wrecking ball to the Trump Ballroom on DAY ONE," Swalwell wrote on X on Saturday.
Swalwell followed up with another post to X that read, "Or, as @RubenGallego proposes, rename it the Barack Obama Ballroom. But a Trump monument to corruption will not stand." --- BOTH of my predictions in one thread. 1. Tear the ballroom down. 2.

Because nothing says "deep history and heritage" like a structure built in 1942 to hide a bomb shelter
--- It's been in the plans from early on. Apparently both wings, and what they would contain, were. Teddy was supposed to build the east wing, but the ballroom sounded too removed from blue collar America for him. So that waited for FDR to build.

------ Because when Martin Luther King Jr. took his own life (hap-tip to Saturday Night Live), black "leadership" completely disavowed any notion of "judge not by the color of one's skin but by the quality of their character" and INSTEAD pivoted to the equivalent of "Whites are inherently evil and flawed and ya'll owe us incompetent Blacks for the rest of all eternity and there can never be any racial healing or reconciliation". And it worked...for their "leadership"...and not for anyone else but the black "leadership". The rest of us have been dealt a really, really crappy hand by them.

For decades we asked for sanity, and got lies and failure theatre from the GOPe. For years they demanded insanity and got incrementalism. We finally took back our party and started winning (even though we were assured we’d lose). The insane note this and think the same tactic will bring the same result.But I believe they miscalculate because most people aren’t crazy., and the ones that are (looking at you AOC) lack the capacity to understand.

Come get some. Posted by: Bea Arthur's Dick at October 28, 2025 05:19 PM (eYAt4) ++++ Really smart play, that. Most of the time, people on food stamps cluster together geographically. It isn't nefarious, it's just a consequence of the fact that poor people are poor, and live where poor people live. Poor neighborhoods will also have a lot of food stamp recipients. So when she goes to "get whitey" over it, given the probability of geography and demographics, she means, "mug my equally-poor white neighbors." These people can't even manage first-order thinking.

Can they propose to partially close the border? Propose to deport only the worst of the worst illegal alien murders and racists, but only after a review by a panel of 15 eminent immigration experts unanimously determines they should be deported? Propose a New-New Green New Deal that will drastically reduce US CO2 emissions, but, swearsies, will not raise gas and electricity prices more than 5 percent per year (a lie), and not force EVs on everyone thru crazy CAFE numbers? Propose a new POTUS-appointed bi-partisan board of experts decide nation-wide rules for fake men in women's K-12 and college girl's sports, locker rooms, and rest rooms?

Michael Shellenberger (sp?) made a good point about this on Jesse Watters a few days ago, on what's really behind the freakout over the ballroom. They hate anything Trump does, of course, but he thinks it's a subconscious thing that goes deeper.
The new ballroom represents a change to a new era. The last major WH change was at the end of WWII. The current layout thus defines the post-War order. And that order is coming to an end. Things have changed, and that old order is over. Trump represents a "fundamental transformation" into the new order, the "fourth republic" as he dubbed it (think 4th Turning, if you will).

In New Jersey, early voting is underway (I voted today), and the GOP candidate just sent out this email.
From polling to early voting returns, endorsements & rallies - everything shows that momentum is building and the energy is on our side. Here are the facts: Mikie Sherrill is a disaster, and her campaign is falling apart. Democrats’ traditional early vote advantage has collapsed across the state. In 2021, Phil Murphy led early in-person voting by 12 points. Today, that edge is down to just 3.3%. Vote-by-mail margins are shrinking too — from a 47.8% Democrat edge in 2021 to 42% today. And that’s just the start. Republicans have gained ground in every single county in New Jersey — improving by 17 points in Passaic, 7 in Hudson, 6 in Essex, 13 in Union, and even 4 in Camden. Meanwhile, turnout is surging in Republican strongholds like Ocean and Monmouth, up 15 points from this time four years ago. Posted by: Huck Follywood at October 28, 2025 05:44 PM (t93WW) 211

I have to say that the MS Walmart people we encountered in February were kind and polite. And there were a lot of them on Valentine's Day evening. We stopped for groceries en route to the farm, and flowers for my mother. We'd just left NOLA 2hrs away. The ONLY weirdo was a white redneck guy who flirted with me carrying the flowers and trying to find my family. Walking with me, he was naming random flowers they were not and how good they smelled (a hydrangea bush is not fragrant). I was ignoring him and my husband walked up to me and he fled. I reckon he thought I was ripe for a Valentine's romance. Our son laughed that more guys (probably mentally ill) hit on me than his wife. I would prefer to be left alone.

As an aside, at first I kind of thought Trump should have saved some of the stuff, like windows and doors. There is a big market for that shit and he could have had a charity auction. Maybe people would love to have "whithouse windows" on their home.

Posted by: Stateless - VERY GRATEFUL, LOVED, APPRECIATED AND HAPPY! -- - New Life Creation - 18.4% at October 28, 2025 05:40 PM (Sco7b) From a site called American Battlefields With the war against Napoleon winding down, the British government determined to send four brigades from Europe to deal with the crisis in North America. One of these was to go to the east coast of the United States and “retaliate upon the Americans for the outrages which they had committed,” including the burning of the Canadian city of York (present-day Toronto). Ross was selected to command this expeditionary force and sailed to Bermuda in the summer of 1814. From there, Ross and his command of 4,500 infantry and marines embarked for the United States, landing on August 19, 1814. Posted by: Posted by: Stateless - VERY GRATEFUL, BLESSED, LOVED AND HAPPY! -- - New Life Creation - 18.1% at October 28, 2025 05:55 PM (Sco7b) 263
After landing in the vicinity of Washington, D.C., Ross led a successful attack on U.S. forces at Bladensburg, easily brushing aside American militiamen and clearing the way for the British to enter the U.S. Capitol. Following orders from Vice Admiral Sir Alexander Cochrane and Rear Admiral George Cockburn, Ross ordered burning of the White House, Capitol building, and the Library of Congress. However, contrary to orders, Ross demanded that private property be respected, confining his damage to the public buildings of the U.S. Government and the bridge over the Potomac River. With the destruction complete, Ross re-embarked on August 30, making his way toward Baltimore.

"nutritionally" subsist. " is exactly right.
that should be the standard, and if we were issuing bulk staples we can afford to be generous. it is not supposed to be fun. the cloward-pivenites have made it so . Posted by: sock_rat_eez at October 28, 2025 05:55 PM (kHop/) ++++ "Government cheese" used to be a thing. Making most subsidies in-kind and in-person would be a major improvement. Make it an actual, physical, limited process. Such a scheme would likely be more expensive per-unit than food stamps (after all, the grocery chains already have logistics and processing), but would cut down fraud so much - and make long-term use of such programs fairly unappetizing - that there would probably be a net savings. Not that savings are the point. Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at October 28, 2025 05:58 PM (CgKt6) 280

OT: VA stood up an emergency food program, using the SNAP infrastructure, that will go into effect Nov 3 if the government is still shut down. Youngkin is using the excess from our general fund that state Dems would not refund b/c they wanted to cycle it to their pet causes (aka their own PACs and pockets) once they got the Gov seat. This will continue until fed gov is open.
So, looting should not happen here...more so, b/c felonies are also forever...but now, since we apparently have a lower SNAP rate than the nation (under 10%), we're gonna fund it til we don't have to. Posted by: Nova Local at October 28, 2025 06:00 PM (tOcjL) 295

Have you seen videos of robbery crews lately? It's usually at least three people now. Maybe if you've got a tight draw time and have your head on a swivel you'll be OK. If you can get a shot off early, they scatter. But if you're a seasoned citizen with a slow draw time, they'll surround you and clock you in the face before you get a chance to draw.

Posted by: bonhomme at October 28, 2025 06:01 PM (Yp6az) ++++ Standard informal urban combat tactics. If it spreads to the interfaces with the less-broken parts of town, one of two things happens: 1. The city falls 2. The places on the other side of the interface fight back the same way. Spotters, pre-planned intersections for the strike. Cover fire from a truck with higher ground, mopping up from the flanks - and all of it executed by people with very good geographical knowledge (they live there) and who are defending their home territory. That latter is called "civil war" and it is increasingly likely as these roving teams continue. But they seem to forget that the victims can build a technical and work out hand and radio signals.

Didnt New Mexico basically ban guns by calling it a pandemic? Let's see how that goes Posted by: The Unvaxed and Unmasked I live in New Mexico. The tiny tyrant aka the governor is a communist. First try at getting rid of guns was she literally just banned them from the state using the pretext of a healthcare pandemic. That lasted about 15 minutes before the courts shut her down. So she turned right around and banned guns on all property owned by the State of New Mexico. This being New Mexico exactly zero criminals paid attention to her and have continued to shoot each other left and right non-stop. She eventually just let that go on the down low. She's is term limited. What's coming is worse: The former Biden Secretary of the Interior or as I call her Chief Dreamcatcher. New Mexico is an extremely poor state. After living here for a number of years now I lay this at the feet of the Democrats who manage everything in this state so the politicians can stay in power and loot the place.

In a 91-page report released Tuesday, the House Oversight Committee accused Joe Biden's inner circle of executing and concealing presidential actions without his knowledge, declaring that any orders signed through the autopen were "null and void." The Republican-led panel, chaired by Rep. James Comer (R-KY), said it uncovered evidence that senior aides used the mechanical signature device to authorize pardons, commutations, and executive directives while Biden's mental and physical decline worsened -- all to preserve "the illusion of presidential authority." "The Biden Autopen Presidency will go down as one of the biggest political scandals in U.S. history," the report stated. "As Americans saw President Biden's decline with their own eyes, his inner circle sought to deceive the public, cover up his condition, and took unauthorized executive actions that are now invalid." The committee urged the Justice Department to launch a full criminal investigation into what it called a "cover-up of historic proportions," naming several aides who invoked the Fifth Amendment when questioned about their roles. It also demanded the D.C. Board of Medicine investigate Biden's physician for allegedly hiding his true medical state. According to the report, internal emails and documentation revealed a "haphazard process" surrounding clemency and other executive actions, with no reliable record confirming Biden's personal approval. Comer said the findings raise profound constitutional concerns. "If unelected aides were using the autopen to execute presidential powers without Joe Biden's knowledge or consent, that is an assault on the Constitution itself," he said.Prosecute them. You say there's no specific law against this? As a black and queer woman of LGBTQ+ color, I give you the FBI. Well not the FBI. I was doing a Hans Gruber there. (Not black queer or female, but an immigrant.) The left has already given us the law to prosecute under. The J6 prosecutors prosecuted hundreds of people under the vague and novel premise that they were attempting a criminal "fraud against the United States of America." They claimed that anyone who did anything they didn't like were perpetrating a "fraud" on the "people of the United States. Biden's aides clearly, really did perpetrate a fraud on the people of the United States. So let us take what I (as a black queer woman of immigrant) will call the "J6 Precedent" and imprison them all. Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

No, seriously; my call is to consider the pardons null (and void, to use William the Bastard's tongue)... but not to move to prosecute. Yet. If any beneficiary of a "Biden" autopardon puts a foot wrong, arrest him in the Federal system. Don't offer bail. Hold them in a dungeon until the trial. Then add the original sentence on to the new one. It's not double-jeopardy if the original sentence still holds or the original crime was gay-pardoned.

Note it was Barky who first used the autopen to sign legislation. The Shrub considered it after 9/11 and had the legal counsel look into. They concluded it was kinda sorta probably okay, but they never did it. It was Barky who first did it. Before that, no president had ever used the autopen for official acts of presidential power. The autopen was just used for shit like, oh the President sending a letter commending Gladys Kravitz on her years of service on the Ladies Auxiliary and other non-official shit like that, like Christmas cards and all that.

House panel declares Biden's Autopen Presidency "null and void," concluding that aides with zero Constitutional authority signed pardons and executive orders without Biden's knowledge, all to preserve "the illusion of presidential authority."

Posted by: Joe Biden, Cancer Warrior, Hero at October 28, 2025 04:24 PM (UjdFS) So, my dad was not treated for his rampant prostate cancer that had been in remission for a good 25 years before the clot shot turned it loose again. The reason the hospital gave was that he was old and non-compos-mentis, since he couldn't remember who the president was and didn't know what year it was. Of course, that couldn't possibly be because he was bleeding from the cancer invading his bladder, could it? Meanwhile this waste of air Biden gets gold-plated cancer treatment even though his brain has been Swiss cheese for a decade or more. I really can't loathe the Bidens any more than I already do. I'm not allowed to wish bad things happen to him upon pain of mortal sin, but I really wish he would just go the fuck away. Posted by: tcn, Pickle Queen of AK at October 28, 2025 04:30 PM (urtE/) 75

Somebody mentioned Woodrow Wilson. This has been a problem with us for a while. The 25th Amendment is wholly unable to handle a situation like this where POTUS is la-dee-dah, and his aides, including the VP, go along with a Weekend at Bernie's conspiracy. Something needs to be done about that. I don't know what. I can see anything being used by partisan Democrats to constantly accuse Republican presidents of being incapacitated and demanding tests and all that. But some mechanism needs to be there for people to go to jail right quick if they cover up POTUS being brain dead.

This is something that always bothered me about the Edith Wilson shadow presidency, the selection of Hadrian as Trajans successor by his wife. The movie Dave.
It is a subversion of the way the system is supposed to work. In the two US examples, the people selected one person, but someone else was making the decisions- just like here. It seems to be one of those things that separates me from a progressive. They seem to love the idea of MS Wilson, I think it's horrifying.

Autopen is but a facsimile of a real signature. Might as well be a rubberstamp or a jpeg printed with the rest of the document.
Autopen use is primarily ceremonial - 100th birthday, holiday cards, military retirement, etc. for signing bills into law or pardons?! It's be easier to get El Presidente to sign the real deal than multiple MFRs authorizing some clerk to use your rubberstamp. Any El Presidente sig that is not by his hand and wet ink is presumably falsied. Like anybody else's sig. The only question is who forged it? People who used it w/o authorization are most certainly committing fraud. Posted by: Itinerant Alley Butcher at October 28, 2025 04:36 PM (/lPRQ) 103

Karine Jean-Pierre may, indeed, be "queer" depending upon what the social norms consider normal. Finally, Karine Jean-Pierre is a US citizen. Therefore, she is not an immigrant. An "immigrant" is defined as a person who moves to a new country with the intention of settling there permanently. Karine Jean-Pierre as a US citizen is not, to my knowledge, currently looking to move to a new country permanently. In the past, she was, indeed, and immigrant. Now she is a citizen.

OT but applies to last thread - from Zerohedge...
"States Receiving the Most Funding SNAP funding totaled more than $7.8 billion in May 2025, the last month for which data is available. Nearly half of all SNAP funds went to 7 large-population states in the month of May. California drew the largest share at more than $1 billion in federal funding—about 13 percent of the total. New York received $647 million, and Texas received $614 million. The next highest amounts went to Florida, $536 million; Illinois, $368 million; Pennsylvania, $368 million; and Ohio, $356 million. Those states together received 49 percent of the food assistance benefit for May 2025, and they served about 49 percent of those receiving benefits. Total spending for SNAP reached $99.8 billion in fiscal year 2024." Posted by: Nova Local at October 28, 2025 04:48 PM (tOcjL) 155

Missed the Scott Weiner thread.
What he''s most famous for back when he was an SF Supervisor was passing the law making public nudity completely legal, resulting in out-and-out flamboyant perverts walking around naked with cock rings on the streets of SF, intentionally flapping their dicks in the faces of passing children, even children escorted by parents. The city was OK with that, but even the hipsters had to protest when the naked dudes started going to restaurants and sitting with their disgusting ass-cracks on restaurant seats, leaving AIDS-infected skid marks everywhere. So the law was, after a while, quietly abandoned. But that just goes to show you how unhinged Scott Weiner really is.

Continued from Zerohedge
"On average, about 12 percent of Americans receive SNAP benefits. In some states, that percentage is much higher. These states stand to lose fewer federal dollars, but the impact could be greater, affecting a relatively larger share of their population. Sixteen states and the District of Columbia have higher-than-average participation in SNAP. Of those, New Mexico has the highest rate, with 21 percent of its 2.1 million people receiving food assistance. The District of Columbia is next with 20 percent of its 700,000 residents participating in SNAP. Oregon is next with 18 percent participation, followed by Louisiana and Oklahoma at 17 percent each. About 15 percent of the population receives SNAP benefits in West Virginia, Nevada, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, New York, Illinois, and Michigan."

These guys really hate the Constitution. A presidential pardon cannot be undone. They're just making useless noise to rile up and distract their base.
Did Trump hand sign pardons for 1500 J6 terrorists? And even the EOs he signs are unprecedented. Every other president signing an order explained it to the press, because it's THEIR order. They wrote it. Trump is the only to have OTHERS explain the orders to him, because they're not his. "the report does not point to a specific incident in which the investigators could demonstrate the autopen was used without Biden’s authorization." So they're lying. That committee should be brought up on charges, but so should the insurgent doj they report to. It's not about autopen. It's about challenging the pardon process. When a legit investigation into Trump begins, republicans will compare it with the shit-show they're performing now. "See, the democrats are doing Benny Hill, too!" They're claiming that Biden's cognitive decline and a lack of a decision making paper trail makes these commutations and pardons null...Not the autopen itself.

Maybe they'll string up the doc. Make him the scapegoat and mastermind who fooled them all about Joe.
But that is as far as it will go, if even that far. It can go no further. The Biden Administration represents what is in fact a fully-developed and catastrophic legitimacy crisis. He wasn't there. His politburo was running things while pretending that the boss was calling the shots. If it goes any further than scapegoating a phony mastermind, it will force an acknowledgment of the illegitimacy of that entire period, and force a serious legal consideration of what to do about the fact that every single act and law was flatly illegal and *must* be repealed. A crisis of that magnitude will *not* be risked. For any reason. The most we will get is a scapegoat, and probably not even that. The stakes are simply too high.

Posted by: People's Hippo Voice at October 28, 2025 04:56 PM (6EDhb) ============== No question, he is a doofus. Also, he's lying. But it doesn't matter, and it shouldn't matter: Since he says he approved the pardons, they are valid. All future Presidents, including our present favorite, will depend on this to be true. Obviously, Presidents will be more careful using autopen, and probably will document the approvals (which Biden did not always do), but this is a tempest in a teacup.

I got Grok going on the legal precedents here. This is a problem with the system. Court would probably only get involved if something could be proven. Hard proof that someone usurped presidential authority. Essentially forged the president's signature. If that could be proven, the Supreme Court would be forced to act (but "standing" might be a tricky way to dodge in some case). If it was signing a bill or EO, then it would likely be voided "ab initio" Now for a pardon, Grok thinks the courts would allow it to stand, as there is no judicial review of pardons. Even if it fraud could be proven, the pardon would likely stand. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at October 28, 2025 05:04 PM (w6EFb) 252

Today Joe Biden (PHD in Standup Philosophy) challenged Einstein theories on the Universa and his formula of E=MC2.
Joe said that according to Hunter (The smartest person he knows) while he was on Crack that the Universe was created when The Big Dipper/Big Bear Constellation Farted and it created all the matter in today's visible known Universe. The formula should have been ASS = Crack/Booze x Hookers. Senator Schumer today agreed and said this change should be introduced in College Curriculum immediately next to Gay Pride Studies.

During Wilson's incapacity, his wife, doctor, and an aide effectively exercised the power of the presidency. Legislation was signed by Edith, maybe guiding her hand, or some autopen like device.

You don’t have to prove a negative here, only to prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that Joe didn’t authorize. The fact that there is a process, and it was not followed, goes a long way in doing so- hence the conclusion by the house that these are void.
