Top Story
- Memory and storage company Crucial is throwing in the towel after thirty years in the business. Sort of. (Tom's Hardware)
They're not going to stop producing stuff. They're a division of Micron.
They're just going to stop producing stuff that you can buy because they can make more money out of the AI bubble.
Tech News
- It was India. (AppleInsider)
Who rusted first, that is.
India insisted that Apple pre-install its state-sponsored spyware on all new iPhones sold in the country.
Apple said not just no, but fuck no.
India said yeah, okay.
- The CEO of IBM says that spending in the AI boom is obviously unsustainable. (Tom's Hardware)
Current buildout plans would require industry profits of $800 billion per year just to make payment on the interest.
Current industry profits are less than zero. Significantly less.
- An AI tool for lawyers produced by a billion dollar company had no security. (Alex Schapiro)
As in, literally none. Anyone could access any document.
We're all going to die, aren't we?
- Microsoft is lowering its AI sales targets because nobody is buying. (Reuters) (archive site)
It's hard to sell what you can't even give away for free.
- Case in point: Programming language Zig is leaving GitHub because Microsoft's obsession with AI is tanking the site's reliability. (The Register)
Jeremy Howard, co-founder of Answer.AI and Fast.AI, said in a series of social media posts that users' claims about GitHub Actions being in a poor state of repair appear to be justified.
A fix for the bug was proposed by a user."The bug," he wrote, "was implemented in a way that, very obviously to nearly anyone at first glance, uses 100 percent CPU all the time, and will run forever unless the task happens to check the time during the correct second."
The fix was correct.
The fix was ignored, and the comment thread was closed by AI.
-
Windows 11 is barely ahead of Windows 10 in install base, despite Microsoft stabbing Windows 10 in the back, the front, the sides, and from several other directions. (The Register)
It's hard to sell what you can't even give away for free.

There’s nothing in Cormac McCarthy’s novel about feminism. There’s no mention of things going bad when “women began to live independently from men.” I’ve been teaching the novel for twenty years and the passage you’re referencing doesn’t exist.

I just can't help but wonder if he's actually talking his book, and IBM is waiting on quantum computing to be the next boom, which I'm positive will cost a lot more than AI since the tech is so new and extremely expensive to build, run and maintain.
Quantum is definitely the next tech boom waiting in the wings.

Probably not. Quantum computing is a different way of computing data but that doesn't invalidate the value of the data itself. There's a lot of hand-wavy promises about quantum but it's not likely, ever, to become something widely used due the difficulty in shielding the qubits. If 'perfected', it'll be useful for government and big labs.

Quantum may replace classic computing eventually, but probably not in most of our lifetimes.
Quantum computers have to be kept at well below zero temps to work correctly. The most recent advances have worked with operating temps around 1 kelvin (-458 F). So it requires some pretty heavy duty equipment to get the temps that low.
Most Quantum will be done via the cloud/data centers until they can figure out how to run them at near room temperature so everybody will be able to run them anywhere.

Quantum is the most overhyped tech right now. It can never replace classical computing. Even once it's perfected, it will only give exponential speedup for a very narrow range of problems.
It will break a whole bunch of cryptography though, so there is that.

I asked ChatGPT:
"If you forced me to place odds:
~30% chance ever.
~70% chance that reality intervenes (engineering or physics) and we never reach that scale.
These are not fringe views — they're consistent with estimates from Microsoft, IBM, NIST, NSA, and leading quantum computing theorists."
I'm more optimistic than that, but not for any reason that I could argue.

I'd agree with you just on the technical hurdles involved, but the ingenuity of humanity never ceases to amaze me.
I think there may be a real breakthrough eventually.
Brave AI sez:
Room-Temperature Innovation: As of December 2025, a new device developed at Stanford operates at room temperature by using twisted light to entangle photons and electrons in a molybdenum diselenide-based nanoscale optical system, potentially revolutionizing quantum communication and reducing the need for bulky cryogenic infrastructure.
Is that the answer?
I have no clue, but there are people working on the problem.

These small reactors they're making today are not pressurized water and, theoretically, don't require a team of highly trained people to run them and keep them - theoretically - safe.
The technology CBD linked in the sidebar has, apparently, been in operation in Japan for a while with good success and safety but it seems to be most useful for industrial applications which require enormous amounts of heat... foundries and the like. I haven't read much about using them for mass electricity generation.

No reason they can't be used for electrical generation. Maybe not quite as efficient.
The navy is pretty good at running small reactors that put out a lot of energy. 500MW! That can run my town!

According to INL, the project is attracting significant interest from the maritime sector beyond land-based energy applications. Molten salt reactors offer the potential for compact, long-lasting nuclear propulsion systems capable of powering commercial ships with minimal maintenance and no emissions during operation. With the ability to support long voyages without refueling, the technology could transform shipping logistics and energy economics. Support from private industry and continued federal investment signal momentum toward reactor demonstration and eventual commercial deployment.
Researchers highlighted that if successful, the project could help establish a new nuclear propulsion industry, expand US leadership in advanced nuclear systems, and position the technology as a competitive alternative to global maritime reactors already under development

I've been in a rabbithole on early New Order lately. Apparently "Blue Monday" started as filler which they programmed after the band's actual set, so they could slip away and drink beers before going back for the encore. So, for this beat, they just filched from everything, like Donna Summer, and Kraftwerk too. It wasn't supposed to be a real song.
Eventually they'd stolen from so many other songs that nobody even noticed the Frankenstein monster of old disco b-sides and Eurotrash.
And then they released "Blue Monday" at a literal loss and everyone... kept buying the single. Cost Factory Records a fortune.

Almost certainly a replacement cord.

I have such a cord on my grilled-cheese sammich press, which still makes awesome sammiches.

Radios were interesting, everyone wants to install a polarized plug on the old school radios. Except, that’s not how it works.
For one, the chassis will be “hot”, either when the radio is ON or OFF if it is plugged in, depending on which way the plug is inserted.
No way around this unless you rewire the chassis. It will usually have a noticeable slight hum if the chassis happens to be hot when ON. Flip the plug in the outlet, and avoid using in the tub, or cement floors in your stockings.
It is a surprise to get a jolt when touching a chassis while grounded, and the device is OFF. It isn’t defective, that’s just how they made shit back then. Be careful, went the thinking

3 ft piece of 1x1 or 1x2. A bag of wooden clothespins and a bag of the heavy duty rubber bands.
Pin nail at one end . Clothespin with opening facing the pin nail attached (nailed ) to top at the other end.
Join 2 or 3 heavy duty rubber bands together and thread a clothespin spring to one end of it.
Loop end of the rubber band to the pin nail and pull the spring end to fit in the clothespin mouth . You’re now loaded and ready to hunt small game.

Part of my personal rehab for a broken and set right shoulder was to teach myself how to use a sling - a David sling, or Balearic sling I guess you could call it.
I was down at the river tossing as many rocks as it took to make my shoulder hurt life fire. I almost always hit the water, and the best rocks were the round or almond shaped ones, they flew the best.
I found a handful of old sparkplugs someone had tossed into the river when the water was high, and I flipped those. If you get just the right swing you can throw them in almost a spiral like with a football.
(of course if you bobble it, they keyhole and fly funny)

Her voice is unchanged in the over 20yrs since I first heard her. We had the great honor to see her and Union Station under the stars in July this summer. Alison Krauss has the ethereal voice of an angel on earth. I hope you enjoy this.

Will have to check out the MV museum. I have been to the Cody Center, years ago. The Royal Tyrrell is an easy one hour drive from stately Peon Manor. Any Morons planning a summer road trip to Alaska, most likely you will be passing quite close by. I have room to park several RV's, and could rig water and electric. There is a free sani dump in town. Would be happy to take a party on a tour to Drumheller and the museum. Some interesting old coal mine sites nearby, too. And the Last Chance Saloon in Wayne is worth a visit. Eleven bridges, mostly single-lane, on a 5 mile road.

The ones in the Midwest had a big hive that was partly in the store (like a reverse bay window).
You could actually watch the bees through the glass crawling around on the honeycomb.
There was also just a little entrance hole on the exterior of the building where you could watch an endless stream of bees come and go. They were quite polite in allowing others to pass before taking their turn.
Very entertaining to a 6 y.o. boy!

Red cedar splits very easily, hence its use for roofing shakes. So you take this stick, bind it tight with twine maybe half a foot from one end, and split that end with a knife. Wedge a suitable pebble in that split (the twine binding makes it grip tightly), and make a baseball swing with the stick, ending abruptly with the stick pointed at your target. Off flies the pebble, with great force. Kind of like an atlatl; a means to extend your arm, and increase the velocity with which you can throw.

No. Real radium was too expensive for things like that. They used phosphorescent minerals or dyes, like zinc sulfide. Charge 'em up with daylight, and they slowly release some of the stored light.

Had my MRI today; see the oncologist tomorrow, the surgeon on Monday, then on Thursday (12/11) my surgery is scheduled.
Just in time.
There appear to be some new spots in my liver; the lymph nodes still look clear, though. This means that the cancer is figuring out a way around the chemo. The doctors will be starting me on a new regimen after the surgery, in hopes that it may buy me some more time. There is currently no "cure" for this type of cancer; doctors and patients just play whack-a-mole with the beast as long as they can.

Thorium was used to soak lantern mantles with for brighter whiter light. Not too dangerous maybe, but in Europe the manufacturer made the lantern mantles as a side gig, their main product was Thorium toothpaste. Not too sure about that. I think they use Yttrium now for lantern mantles. I gotta say the old school Coleman Silk Lites are much, much brighter than modern mantles. Better living through Chemistry!

Probably not. If you turned out the light at 10PM, and you could still see it a 4AM, it might have been, and if it was, it was probably dangerous because almost anything they could use prior to the mid-60s was a gamma ray source.
I had a National.Semiconductor watch in the 70s that used a tritium capsule with some fluorescent material behind the display to light it. It was useful in the dark for about 7 years. I could detect a glow in a dark room 12 years later, but not good enough to read it. That was harmless because it was only a beta emitter (no gamma rays, and when it finally wore completely out, all.you had left was ordinary hydrogen.

Phoenix is only about 12 hours by road from the oilfields of the Permian Basin in Texas, around Midland/Odessa. They probably truck in fuel from there already. For some reason, cheapest gas in Arizona is in Eloy, near the junction of I-8 with I-10.

PHX has exactly ONE pipeline for fuel... from.LA. The Phillips 66 refinery in SoCal is closing by March, and the Chevron refinery in the Bay Area is closing by August, which will reduce CA fuel by 20%.
Phoenix will be collateral damage.

If I change the fluid in an automatic transmission, and it lacks a drain plug, I will drill a hole and weld in a bung. Even if I fully intend to drop the pan and change the filter next go-round, it's nice to be able to drain the pan first, so I don't have to juggle with a pan full of hot oil over my head.

$100 at the acura dealer, but..they clean and wash the car, check and top off the fluids if needed, and basically give it a once over. Car always comes back looking nice. I do the other 3 vehicles, but I let Mrs B bring hers to the dealer.

This is the fun part - “Big Oil” has abandoned California, told them “do whatever you want, we’re outta here.” Exxon has a few gas stations, but other than that they’ve left. Chevron has pulled out and relocated to Texas. Valero is pulling out, Phillips is pulling out. Gavin can have fun blaming a bunch of companies that aren’t there anymore, because he ran them all off.

You mean they abandoned California because they don't want California to win. California is a science-based state that knows that alternative energy sources are infinite and climate change is real. Big Oil could have partnered with California to transition us to clean, efficient energy, but NO.

Yeah it sucks. Not like doing a harley, thats for sure. My friend has a lift I usually do my car on. Its a newer mazda 6, and you can't slide a paper plate of dog shit under it, so forget getting a floor jack under it. The one good thing is that mazda put the drain plug and the filter literally inches from each other. Makes it nice. The chevy colorado and the old roadrunner are easy. Floor jack under the K member and plenty of room to reach under.

I can't tell you how many harleys come in where it seems they screwed the filter on with an impact driver. One of my own bikes, the most recent one I got last year. Took over an hour to get the filter off. Screw driver just tore it up, channel locks crushed it. I had to removed the voltage regulator just to get into the area to get leverage. I wanted to track down the last owner and pound the mangled filter into his ass with a 2lb sledgehammer.

The same vid said that there was an existing fuel.pipeline between Tucson and El Paso, and that the cost difference between a pipeline and fuel truck was $0.005/gal/100 mi vs $0.05/gal/100 mi.
They didn't explore alternatives for Phoenix, other than that new pipeline costs and timeline would be very large.

On a Ram.pickup with the Cummins, even going through the wheel well, the filter has to be tipped about 60 degrees to get it out, so you always dumped oil. Somebody makes a plastic cap that screws into the filter and covers the entire top. Even if you tilt it a lot, only a drop or two escapes. Because its plastic, I imagine it'll wear out in 15 or 20 oil changes, but on the Cummins, that's about 150k miles. My neighbor has one, I'll have to find out where he got it. I've always had other work needed done so the garage has done my last 4 oil changes, but I should be doing my own next change.
You might look to see if anyone makes the same for your Ford filter.

I have to do shit like that with the harleys. The filter on most of them are in front of the engine down low right over the front motor mounts, and the filter is sideways. They make all kinds of weird tray-like gadgets that keep the oil from dripping all over the front of the motor, but they don't work. We use the heavy duty tin foil and slide it under the filter. Same with the drain plugs on a lot of the 5speed transmissions with are on the side facing out so it leaks all over the frame. Again, tin foil to the rescue, we wrap it over the frame and form it into a little chute. The oil tank drains on the softails are great, it actually has a permanent drain hose with a plug attached. Unclip the hose from the frame, out it over the pan and pull the plug.

Tonight, YooToob sidebar recommendations caught me with Star Trek First Contact. Some of it was silly. Some of it was good. I wanted Zefram Cochran, at the end, to say, "That'll do, pig."
Speaking of who played what where, the character "Lily" was played by the same actress who was Bill Murray's secretary in Scrooged. I've sometimes thought of jumping from one movie to the next based on some actor in both. This would be a good time to start. 'Tis the season to watch Scrooged again.
Actually, it's playing in theater on the 16th. That's how we first saw it in first run. Where Murray breaks the 4th wall and addresses the audience actually worked pretty well in an actual theater back then. Be nice to have a good crowd to watch it on the big screen again.
But time has passed and bed beckons.

Kase (Yoko's uncle, junior diplomat there assisting the foreign minister) noticed the error and convinced Gen. Sutherland, Mac's deputy who was running the event, to make hand corrections (he crossed out the printed country names and wrote in the ones that matched the signatures).
What's amazing and so perfectly Japanese is that the surrendering country noticed a technical imperfection and sort of insisted it be fixed - even though *they* were surrendering. Perfect.

So the Democrats have re-packaged and re-branded communism for the 83rd time.
This time, it's called affordability.
Affordability = govt free everything.
Same old Democrat totalitarian bullshit.

Fun fact:
Male reindeer shed their antlers in the fall. Females shed their antlers in the spring. So Santa's sleigh is pulled by females.
Probably why they're named after strippers and Santa keeps yelling "Ho Ho Ho!"
He's trying to get their attention.

She scampered back down the ladder like she did it routinely. She would also climb an 8 ft wooden fence and I had to bury and wire cinder blocks to the bottom of the fence because she would dig a 2 ft hole under the fence and escape.

The best Texas style BBQ I ever had was in ... California. About 30 to 40 minutes from DLI. Place was a hole in the wall run by a Texas expat (long haired Vietnam vet). There was always a line (half hour wait minimum), and no one was complaining. That was 30 years ago. Probably long gone. Best BBQ I ever had in my life.
At the risk of being a traitor to my homeland, I actually prefer the Carolina style BBQ to Texas BBQ, except the that place near DLI, which was a kind of BBQ Nirvana. I've made my peace with having climbed the mountain never to return.

I think BBQ comes down to the sauce, vinegar or tomato based. I prefer the tomato variety.

Always stunned at how large those things get.
I once drove (speeding @ 85+ MPH as I was running late for a meeting) overnight from Bangor, Maine to Halifax, Nova Scotia -- and was terrified that I'd hit a moose and it would go right through the windshield.
I subsequently learned that there was chain-linked fence on either side of the highways and they'd built wildlife-crossings underneath the roads to prevent such accidents.
Even here in Northern AZ, every now and again (around Flagstaff) a car will hit one or more elk -- usually at night -- at a high rate of speed, causing one or more human fatalities.

Let's say football. The over/under might be 42. If the combined score of both teams is >42, the over wins, if the combined score is

Hiked Mt. Humphries (the highest peak in Flagstaff) five years ago; started at the Snow Bowl (ski resort parking) lot @ 9500 ft and climbed another steep 3000 ft to 12,500 (with like three psychologically-painful "false peaks" (you think it's the summit, but ... (Psych!").
Only time I ever got altitude sickness (virtually every joint in my body was cramping and I was getting tunnel vision -- but I swore I'd either summit or die trying). Amazing views: you could see the North Rim of The Grand Canyon.
Haven't made it to Mt. Lemmon yet, but know it has Ski Valley -- the southernmost ski destination in the continental U.S.

I know I've mentioned it before, possibly more than once on the pet thread, but we got Daisy the madcap Malinois without knowing what we were getting.
Some kids came by, going around this rural neighborhood, to see if this dog belonged to anyone. She was found running down the highway, no tags, no chip. I asked to take a look at her, and she ran up and licked me, just one not-too-slurpy lick on the face. ❣️ She was not full grown yet. A vet had identified her as a "part German Shepherd mix."
Since our good ol' last boy died, MiladyJo and I had considered following the advice of Morons about going to the shelter to look for a low-maintenance old dog that we, a couple of well-over-29-year-olds could handle. But we got this active little pup instead. Only after we took her in did our son identify her as a Belgian Malinois. Looking up YooToobs of Malinoises, we realized what we were in for. !!!
She still has a wild streak, and keeps us exercised, but she is so sweet, and also loyal and defensive of her family. And, yes, very smart. A little too smart at times!

Tomorrow night is the full Moon, but it's close enough tonight you can't tell the difference. This full Moon, the last Moon of astronomical autumn, which usually occurs in Dec, is dubbed the Cold Moon. The Cold Moon of the Long Nights.
The full Moon, being opposite the Sun, does just the opposite. When the Sun is high, the Moon is low, and when the Sun is low near the winter solstice, the Moon is high. And due to the vagaries of the lunar orbit, the Moon can get higher and lower in the sky than the sun can. It's on a higher part of the 18.6 year lunistice cycle now, so the Moon will be a few degrees higher the the summer sun.
And so moonlight, like sunlight in summer, will be maximized, the opposite of the short days of winter. Hence, Cold Moon on the Long Night.

Daughter just called. She heard from the father of a friend and cheerily asked, how's Friend? only to find out she'd died last March. Cancer suddenly recurred. Daughter said maybe she should go on Facebook more often.
When she called, MiladyJo was on the phone with an old friend of ours, calling to relate that her son had died. Of booze, I think. Leaving kids behind. Siigh. I remember him as a lively young teen.

Methodist Pastor Has Had Enough of Jesus-This and Jesus-That, So He Makes His Homily About the Only Thing That Really Matters, His Trans Identity
But a lot of leftists spell it that way.A Methodist pastor in upstate New York turned a Sunday church service into a personal announcement ceremony, telling stunned worshippers that the 51-year-old spiritual leader is now transitioning and no longer identifies as male. Rev. Phillip Phaneuf of North Chili United Methodist Church in Rochester delivered the news while draped in a rainbow stole, declaring, "I get to announce with joy that I'm transitioning," and later adding, "I'm not becoming a woman, I'm giving up pretending to be a man." The pastor also told congregants that a new identity--"Phillippa," with she/her pronouns--will now be used, and that hormone treatments have already been underway for three months. Phaneuf went even further, announcing a shift to asexuality and telling the church that romance has never been a focus: "I'm in the category of what they call asexual... I am not living my life in a way that involves looking for romance." The message, delivered from the pulpit, was treated as a moment of celebration inside a denomination that has recently rewritten its doctrine to align itself with progressive gender ideology. The United Methodist Church reversed its previous teachings last year and now describes sexuality as a "sacred gift" for all "regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity." Phaneuf told Fox News Digital on Tuesday that the congregation has been "overwhelmingly affirming," and noted that the bishop was consulted beforehand and offered full institutional support. Any questions about pastoral duties were brushed aside with assurances that nothing will change spiritually--aside from the pastor's name, voice, appearance, and presentation as the hormone regimen continues.Well, and every homily will be about his Gender Journey, of course.
United Methodist Church "pastor" announces during his sermon that he is now "transgender" and is becoming a woman.

Yes, this is real...pic.twitter.com/9og3Fb8Z23
A trans woman named Natalie Wolf was convicted of molesting a 13-year-old girl by a UK court yesterday. Wolf was a man named Ryan Haley at the time of the attack and was addressed as a woman throughout the trial. However, when it was her turn to speak, the victim refused to address Haley as a woman, instead using the name of the man who had attacked her.See the link for more.The victim, who is now an adult, feared she would be raped by Wolf, during the attack in Sunderland, England, and told the court her "shame and self-doubt" led to her not reporting the abuse, according to the report... "I know you as Ryan Haley, a man who sexually abused me. There are few things more isolating than living in a body you don't feel safe in. I've carried shame, self-doubt and a sense of disconnection from myself," the victim told Wolf... "Ryan, you destroyed me as a child, a teenager and an adult. Today you are finally going to face justice. Today, Ryan Haley, you are going to get what you deserve," the statement concluded. Wolf was convicted of sexual activity with a child and sentenced to three and a half years in a male prison.Wolf/Haley represented himself accused the victim of lying and the jury of being hypnotized. The judge made a point of saying Haley had shown no remorse and seemed to be under the delusion that he was the victim in this case.
This is in the shithole country the UK, so maybe there is some hope yet.

THIS is why we left the church in FL where we raised our sons. A Presbyterian PCUSA church, the liberal branch. To not be confused, there are other Presbyterian denominations like PCA and Orthodox who are Bible believing churches.
I raised some stink eye from the pompous poobah's from Orlando at a meeting of over 200 members. We were being lied to. They were avoiding questions. My mic was cut when I asked about how they stood on abortion. One of the poohbah's, recognizing a redneck, came over to me at the break to try to smooth things over. It did not work and I was not being bad because one of our sons was next to me and would have elbowed me.

"A famous "moderate," Dr. Zaki Badowi,the Egyption director of the Muslim College in Ealing,has written:"Islam endeavours to expand in Britain...It hopes that one day the whole of mankind will be one Muslim community, the Ummah."
In 1999, the Vatican hosted a conference of Muslim and Christian leaders, attended by the Titular Archbishop of Smyrna.He reports that a muslim participant was disarmingly frank about the purpose of islamic settlers in pluralistic Western socities.Addressing the Christian delegates from Europe, he allegedly said,"Because of our religion, we will invade you; because of your democracy, we will destroy you."
Because of our democratic laws, murderers like the one last week in DC use the "not guilty" in court. They play with our laws to suit them.
It is happening in the UK and Europe...for decades. Building in numbers, controlling voting blocs. Ignoring warnings

My brother and sister both go to PCA churches. My other brother goes to what was a Reformed Church, but the Reformed denomination split apart, so they're in the process of figuring out what to do. My parents and I go to Christian Reformed Churches.
My parents had two rules, er, guidances, when we left the house: The church we'd go to believed in Jesus as the Son of God and that it preached the Bible. I think we all managed to do that, thankfully.

If only Elizabeth I would've gotten off her ass and had a few heirs there might've been a Tudor still on the throne.
Instead they had to screw around with some Scotts for awhile until they had to import Dutch and German kings.

What's happening in almost all of the mainline protestant churches as they drift left is that everyone else is leaving, and letting the homos and the trannies have it. There's a huge number of Christians with no regular church out in the quiet, waiting for something to rise. It won't be the old churches, that's for sure.

Liberal Catholicism is dying. Francis was their last hurrah. There are still holdouts among the bishops and some woke priests, but the overwhelming majority of men in seminary today are very very theologically conservative. They've been doing surveys going back decades and for the first time, none are identifying as "liberal."
That's why some reactionaries are trying to crack down on the TLM, and its wrecking their contributions. Pope Leo is being low-key, but just yesterday he cautions the wacko German bishops that schismatic beliefs are not okay.
At Nicea he reiterated the Church is universal, and its mission is to bring everyone home. Oh, and he refused to pray with the Muslims.

While Mr. Rainbow Nitwit thinks it went well, I am positive people left the next day. I would have stood up and cut off his mic. I nearly stood up on the day of the vote in our large church, as the assistant "pastor" said it was because of not welcoming gheys in church.Baloney. I never knew who was gay or cared. The vote against the Presbytery was because of puttin gheys like this ugly freak in the pulpit.
I am sure it was rigged vs 50/50. But we lost by a small margin to leave the denomination. Neither the traveling pastor nor this woman would meet my eyes (I really do shoot laser beams) that day as I tried to look them in the eye.
The following Monday over 20 couples, all well known, requested to have our names removed. We were two of them. It was horrible.You find out quickly who your real friends are.
Please keep in mind that until 2014 I never thought in my lifetime I would have to declare my faith in public in our own church of over 500 members. But I did when I had to.

Stuff like this crappie is why this lifelong Methodist bailed on the church many years ago. All they seemed to care about over the last couple of decades is the cutting edge of Progressivism.
Now they aren't allowing congregations to split from the UMC - I think they were losing too many of the churches that actually met their financial obligations to the la4ger church body, so they put the kilos on "deserters".
The idiots in charge seem to think that will keep parishioners in the denomination, and thus keep their coffers full. Joke's on them - people are just leaving anyway, and finding new church homes outside of the Methodist doctrine. Taking their money with them, too.

Pelosi was barred from Communion in her home diocese. Has been for a while. Biden was publicly refused the Eucharist when visiting other parishes, but his bishop refused to take a stand.
And yes, it is noticed that the bishops are all worked up over deportations, but see nothing wrong with providing the Eucharist to politicians whose hands are red with unborn infant blood. Archbishop Cupich wanted to give an award to Dick Durbin, whose own bishop has barred him from Communion, and had to back down because of the outcry.

Problem is that they own a LOT of Land... My Parents helped build the Methodist Church here... worked in the Church for decades.
There are stained glass windows and a Pew, that have our Families name on them... I sang in the Choir, and was an alter boy for awhile.
All the old Families that belonged to that church, are now gone, and I don't know how the local church is taking in enough from the very small congregation to keep its doors open EXCEPT, they don't pay any taxes on what would be very very expensive property.

Methodist Ministers are assigned by the parent church. They can get booted by a church board, but it's pretty hard to do.

Of Course: Biden Created a Special Exemption So That "Low-Level" Taliban Officials Could Migrate to the US
Yeah they're Taliban -- members of the radical cult that sheltered bin Ladin and floods the world with heroin -- but they're "low-level" "civil servants" so I'm sure they're cool.
BTW, why would Taliban civil servants have to flee the Taliban? It's almost as if the Democrats just want to fill the US with foreign terrorists because they believe we should all be equal in poverty, misery, murder and terror.Some unrelated items:
Biden administration created exemption for many low-level Taliban 'civil servants' to come to U.S. Amidst renewed scrutiny about the poor vetting of Afghan refugees in the wake of the debacle in August 2021, a review of a little-known Biden Administration policy allowing former Taliban government workers to come to the United States is taking center stage. By Jerry Dunleavy
The Biden Administration implemented a terrorism exemption for Afghan refugees allowing hundreds of low-level "civil servants" from the Taliban government to resettle in the United States in the wake of the U.S. withdrawal and evacuation from the country. The Biden-led Department of Homeland Security and State Department announced in June 2022 that it had put together new exemptions for purportedly vetted applicants who would otherwise be blocked from the United States -- including some former Taliban government workers. The policy allowed hundreds of Afghans to come to the U.S. when they would have previously likely been barred due to terrorism-related inadmissibility grounds (TRIG). This reportedly allowed hundreds of former Taliban government workers to come to the U.S. The exemptions were for Afghans who had worked as "civil servants" under the Taliban (both before 9/11 and after August 2021), as well as for Afghans who "supported U.S. military interests" such as participation in resistance movements against the Taliban or the Soviet Army and for Afghans "who provided only certain limited material support to the Taliban or other designated terrorist organizations." The Biden administration agencies said that the "new exemptions may apply" to "individuals employed as civil servants in Afghanistan at any time from September 27, 1996 to December 22, 2001 or after August 15, 2021." These time periods covered both the Taliban's first stint ruling Afghanistan -- when they protected al-Qaeda before and after the terrorist attacks of 9/11 and were subsequently overthrown following a U.S. invasion -- and the Taliban's current rule of the country in the wake of the disastrous and chaotic U.S. evacuation in August 2021. ... The agencies said the exemptions did not include Afghans "who held high-level positions, worked for certain ministries, or directly assisted violent Taliban activities or activities in which the individual's civil service was motivated by an allegiance to the Taliban" nor Afghan individuals "who share the goals or ideology of the Taliban, provided preferential treatment to them, or who intended to support the Taliban through their activities." The State Department and DHS under the Trump administration did not immediately respond to a request for comment on whether they would maintain this TRIG exemption for former Taliban government workers. "President Trump's State Department has paused visa issuance for ALL individuals traveling on Afghan passports," Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced on X on Friday. "The United States has no higher priority than protecting our nation and our people."

First and most obviously, lockdowns failed to protect people from dying. Since Jan '20 Sweden has the lowest cumulative age-adjusted all-cause excess deaths in Europe. California was worse than Florida.

I am really fascinated at how brazen these neo-confederates are in their efforts to keep their slaves.
And when one of theirs kills an ICE agent (and I'll bet that was who the Afghani terrorist was targeting in DC), what will they do?
I'll add this: I think we are wrong that the Seditious 6 were speaking to the military.
I think they were speaking to Antifa, who view themselves as the true military to protect our democracy.
They are the ones most eager to have official sanction to execute "fascists" for illegal orders.
They have been yelling it at every one of their protests.
And now they have sitting Congressmen telling them "we got your back" ....

You know, Matt Van Epps' campaign theme song should have been Confederate Railroad's "She Never Cried"...
She never cried when old Yeller died
She wasn't washed in the blood of the lamb
She never stood up for the star-spangled banner
And she wasn't a John Wayne fan
Her baby, blue eyes hid the warning signs
That woman was bad to the bone
She never cried when old Yeller died
So, do you think I'll cry when she's gone?

The Shot: Sabrina's original comments
"This video is evil and disgusting. Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda."
The Chaser: the WH response
"Here's a Short n' Sweet message for Sabrina Carpenter: we won't apologize for deporting dangerous criminal illegal murderers, rapists, and pedophiles from our country."
The representative added, referencing lyrics from Carpenter's hit song "Manchild": "Anyone who would defend these sick monsters must be stupid, or is it slow?"
Sabrina is the actually sexy version of Taylor Swift and is pretty popular. I love this socially savvy take down by the WH.

There's video of a panel of top epidemiologists, a few years prior to 2020, discussing just what strategy they might pursue in the case of a serious epidemic just like C19. The discussion wasn't about "policies", which of course were known to be irrelevant to outcomes, it was about how to talk to the public, who *expected that "something could be done!" to help*.
In other words, a workable PR strategy to hose down an ignorant, demanding public, shut them up while things ran their course. Which is the only outcome of such epidemics. Climate, ILI epidemics - 2 things humans are utterly unable to affect. Gives you a snapshot of the state of public understanding, and institutional collapse, in case you needed one.

He says he's "not guilty." Right! It's on video, for starters, scumbag!
Over a decade ago I used to write to Mark Steyn. And he'd print my stuff on his site (I could use an alias and fake email). Mark liked me, he really liked me! I'd found a story about a "meeting" of an Anglican priest and a moose limb who told them flat out that the Ummah was coming with the califate. He said, "We will use your laws of Democracy to defeat you." Paraphrased as it was years ago and I have no idea if I kept the story.
They know the system of democracy and law. They bathe in the word ending phobia (islamophobia). They are using this, as well as apparently bribing the police, in the UK to defeat them within. No shots need to be fired.A few machetes, oh, indeed.

Yep! Pop music has gotten so banal, if it gets taken over by AI, it's the record companies' own fault.
I'm hoping we have a renaissance of indie musicians with real talent filling in the vaccuum of AI. Fingers crossed. Part of why I think young girls love the KPop Demon Hunters is the singers can actually sing! The girl that plays Rumi sings a high A in golden. Taylor and Sabrina can't hit a high A in their dreams. Hopefully real talent rises. Because the current dark ages of pop music is annoying.

Yep. Inferior in most ways to the original. Bogart was better and more believable than Harrison Ford who turned in his usual wooden performance, Audrey Hepburn far better than Julia D'Ormand who likewise had a lackluster performance, and at least a tie between William Holden and Greg Kinnear. Kinnear was someone that should have been put as lead in some pictures--easy charm. Holden was not pickled and sour yet and is charming in his own right.

It is about an NEMJ article on a pfizer mRNA flu vaccine trial.
The results were really bad, but the article is positive.
He goes into details, but over 65yo got the flu more and had worse adverse effects (like kidney failure...) than the control (which was a standard vaccine.)
They simply did not report that and only showed the slightly positive results for those under 65
That thing they did before? Well they are going to do it again.....

My current fave rabbit hole for Youtube vids are Gen Z producers, musicians, vocal coaches discovering the older music they didn't grow up on, and realizing how complex and sophisticated it is. Even the stuff we think of as "pop" for that era. One gen Z music producer had to take a break to calm down after hearing "Good vibrations" and "God Only Knows" from the Beach Boys. The complexity of the rhythms and tempo changes killed him in a good way.

The bureaucrats in Afghanistan did not change. As I put it, there is a guy sitting behind a desk at the Ministry who takes 2 copies of your form, stamps it, gives you one copy back, and puts it on file. Same guy, same form. He did that job for the King, for the Communists, for the Taliban, for the Americans, and now for the Taliban again. He has had periods of time over the years where he didn't get paid and worked a side job, but he kept the job because it had an apartment attached to it. He was not a Communist, he was not Taliban, and he didn't support the Americans either. He just goes to work, does his job, has the free lunch in the courtyard, and goes home at the end of the day.

Read the Enoch Powell speech - he talks about (IIRC) his constituents saying they feel helpless and plan to emigrate to get away from what they are doing. That was the 60s.
I noticed this in grad school in the 80s and tech since then - British expats always escaped what they saw as a failed system - low wages, socialism, and being hated by the elites.
It's Jackson Turner's "frontier safety valve" theory in action.
The people who see what is going on leave. The upper class hate the working class and are insulated. The lower class hate the upper classes and feel powerless. And those with means to leave, leave.

I suppose it was all inevitable with their entrenched class structure.
It was a general trend across Western Europe after the war.
They all wanted more and more socialism and now they've got it good and hard.
But for about 30 or 40 years it worked spectacularly.
Now they're still running off of the fumes from those glory years.

In fact, at every opportunity they've voted for the people who said they'd stop the immigration, even Brexit was a vote to get out of the EU human rights conventions that forced the acceptance of "asylum seekers".
But every time they vote for the party that told them they'd end the misery, that party would get in office and never do it, and then let in more, like Boris did.
The Tories are where they are now because they lied about reducing immigration for over a decade.

A Man Brutalized a Woman and Put Her In the Hospital. In a Private Conversation, She Called Her Attacker a "Faggot."
She Was Arrested.
In the UK, of course. Another "non-crime hate incident" prosecution.
You're not allowed to use harsh language when describing the thug who beat the shit out of you, you see.In the UK, a woman who was hospitalized after being brutally assaulted by a man faced legal consequences when she vented to a friend, calling her attacker a "faggot." Police were notified, she was investigated for a non-crime hate incident (later escalated), charged with malicious communications, and ultimately convicted of committing a homophobic hate crime. The victim of physical violence ended up with a criminal record for using an offensive slur about her own assailant in a private conversation. Britain has absolutely lost the plot.You can be imprisoned for five to ten years for calling the man who brutalized you a "faggot." Meanwhile, I'm sure, he didn't spend a day in jail.

Meanwhile, an Islamist who photographed himself brandishing an AK-47 to intimidate everyone faced no punishment and didn't even lose his political post.
An IT consultant was arrested by police in Britain after he posted a picture online of himself posing with a gun in the US. Jon Richelieu-Booth said he was shocked by the "Orwellian" decision by West Yorkshire Police (WYP) to prosecute him over the social media post. The 50-year-old said that on Aug 13 he had posted a picture of himself on LinkedIn holding a shotgun while on a private homestead with friends during a holiday in Florida. Mr Richelieu-Booth claims the LinkedIn message contained nothing he considered threatening, with the picture attached to a lengthy post about his day and work activities. However, he said that a police officer later visited his home to warn him that concerns had been raised about the post.
"I was told to be careful what I say online and I need to understand how it makes people feel," he said. Mr Richelieu-Booth said he offered to provide officers with proof that the picture of the firearm had been taken while he was in the US but the officers said that was not necessary.
Mr Richelieu-Booth said two officers then returned to his home shortly after 10pm on Aug 24 and arrested him. A bail document seen by The Telegraph refers to an allegation of possessing a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence and a further allegation of stalking related to a photograph of a house that appeared on his social media. He said he was held overnight in a cell before being interviewed. Mr Richelieu-Booth said he was initially released on bail until late October. He alleges that police officers then visited his property on three further occasions before he was re-arrested in October for allegedly breaching his bail conditions. However, that charge was later dropped.

I am fairly sure we won't ever return to the UK as I would, for sure, find myself in The Tower over something I said or laughed at. We were there five times and Scotland wins, in spite of their liberal bullshite.
In Austria I spent time taking photos of any word that had "farht" in it and laughing like a nutcase. I also was very tempted to start something at a lesbian bar in Vienna. They had a sign at the entry stating, "If you are a homophobe, redneck, or racist, do not enter." I really wanted to swing in like it was a saloon, place my hands on my hips and state "I am all 3, what are you going to do about it?" However I behave with my husband, son and DIL. It keeps me out of jail.

I guess we deserve it too?

3. Their net zero has given Britain the second highest energy costs in the world, barely below Germany at number one.
4. They are outlawing Christianity, and protecting mohammedism
It is clear that the government of the UK, along with the other European countries, are determined to end western civilization, and if they thought they could get away with it, they would attack the US just to try and remove Trump, because Trump is showing the world that people don't have to put up with governments that hate them and want them dead.

There is a downside to it, beyond the cultural implications and having nothing to do with sympathy or deserts.
Britain is a nuclear power, as is France and, probably, Germany. All three are in the midst of being colonized. As a result, these are now Muslim - or nearly so - countries that are, through inheritance, also nuclear powers.
They will get them from the Anglo-French before Iran is able to test a single bomb, and then they will use them.

Just to be clear, the conservative party in England ruled to the left of Labour in a traitorous move, and new Reform didn't have enough candidates to win the last election, so Labour won by default. In France, the supposed right leaning party allied with the socialists to prevent Le Pen's party from winning the last election, and in Germany, not only did the right leaning party ally with the socialists to stop the AfD, they are trying to outlaw it so as to prevent the people from getting what they want.
It isn't the voters who are to blame, but the elites who are breaking every law and standard to prevent the people from voting in a group that can solve these problems. They are determined to destroy Europe and turn it over to the third world, and no laws are going to get in their way.

Pakistan is far less barbaric than the Arabs and the Persians, and their barbarism is both largely inward-facing and checked to a large degree by the threat of India on one side and Red China on the other. But even so, the only reason Pakistan probably hasn't used nukes in anger is the guarantee of destruction by India, Red China or both.
But Britain and France? Who cares if they get destroyed. They're just outpost colonies with good shit to loot.

I guess we deserve it too?

Yeah, we actually do.
It's been going on for over twenty years and aside from Trump, no serious effort has been made to slow it down or unseat the governments that have allowed it. No group of citizens have taken up arms to expel the muslim invaders from their communities, much less states. Folks just pay their taxes and vote and think the problem will go away on its own.

Generational wealth doesn't buy you much when your country descends into the third world. There just won't be anything worth buying.

Looked more to me like he couldn't get nominated. Apparently Ireland has weird rules about who can run for President.
"A candidate must be nominated through one of two routes: either by at least 20 members of the Houses of the Oireachtas (Dáil Éireann or Seanad Éireann), or by the councils of at least four administrative counties (including county boroughs)."
So true outsiders can't even get on the ballot. McGregor tried, unsuccessfully, to get that changed.

Not all the good men were killed off. But a lot died. And the wars decimated the gentry class and the coddled country house lifestyle of the gentry class. Had to break up estates, sell land, etc. and the treasury was drained so they could not sustain an empire where the sun never sets. Plus political changes as empires no longer had colonies. Plus the decline of western civilization in general from progressive communism taking over everywhere. Declining western birth rates and ramping up immigration. Etc etc.
It's probably too simplistic to say all the men were killed off. But it did change things.

I don't think it matters whether the UK or France's nukes are leased or not.
What matters is who has access to them. And that apparently is going to be Islamists. Who also control those countries governments. And will use them.
It's not a matter of 'if'. It's a matter of 'when'.
Thinking otherwise... that somehow there are super secret squirrel protections that are impenetrable is... unwise. Now... whether the US is prepared to retrieve those nukes... as we did in Turkey is debatable.

NATO officials from Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, and Poland pledged hundreds of millions more in U.S.-made weapons under the Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List (PURL) scheme, Ukrainian media reported.
Amid Russian gains on the battlefield, they insist Ukraine must be armed “to keep the fight going.” The alliance offered these commitments while being accused of attempting to sabotage peace talks.
Foreign ministers repeated the familiar claim that Russia shows “no willingness to negotiate,” but offered no explanation for why diplomacy has failed after years. Ordinary Europeans, meanwhile, are left footing the bill for a conflict they never voted to prolong.

We don’t know for sure, exactly who or how this is effected, but we can make some inferences. It is clearly above or superior to ordinary national governments, and is in the form of an “offer” they can’t refuse. It’s transnational, some kind of extortion or secret “deal” made long ago.

Trump's Ag Secretary: States Will Either Open Their Books So We Can Detect SNAP Fraud, Or We're Cutting Them Off
Can't wait for a left-wing rogue judge to be "randomly" assigned to the lawsuit and immediately grant an injunction.With just the information provided by the red states, she's already eliminated a good amount of fraud.
States that refuse to open their books on food-stamp spending are about to feel real pressure from Washington. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins told the Trump cabinet Tuesday that the USDA will cut off federal SNAP funds to any state that keeps hiding its data -- a direct response to what she called a mountain of fraud sitting inside a program used by 42 million Americans. Rollins said the problem came into full view earlier this year, when the USDA asked every governor to hand over their SNAP data so federal investigators could finally track where the money was going. Only 29 states -- almost all Republican-led -- cooperated. The others, including California, New York, and Minnesota, refused outright. Rollins said that refusal has consequences. Starting next week, she announced, "the money stops moving" until those states comply. Rollins said the partial dataset already reviewed shows the program is bleeding taxpayer dollars on an astonishing scale. She pointed to 186,000 dead Americans still receiving benefits -- and that's just from the states that turned over their records. She told Newsmax the deeper the USDA digs, the more outrageous the findings become: EBT cards with balances over $10,000, cards untouched for years, and some issued to people who never existed.
Benny Johnson
@bennyjohnson MAJOR: Over 800,000 people have officially been removed from SNAP, confirmed by Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins. She highlights that the fraud is off the charts: - 500,000 people receiving benefits twice.
- 186,000 dead people receiving benefits
- People receiving benefits in SIX different states This is an incredible start. Keep removing more. No more robbing the American taxpayer.
"800,000 of those 42 million have moved off of food stamps, which is hopefully the plan with better jobs, higher wages." "We found 186,000 dead people or dead people's Social Security numbers being used, 500,000 people receiving benefits more than twice, we had a couple of people receiving benefits in six states."

In case it's not clear from the above, this is NOT cutting off the bennies themselves; it's cutting off the money to administer them.
So states will have to figure out how to disburse funds that are actually STILL AVAILABLE to their recipients.

What is "administrative funding"? That sounds like funding for costs to manage the program, not payments to SNAP recipients themselves.
Obviously, any cut to any funding for anything about SNAP is great. The entire program is a pile of steaming rape and fraud. But I don't think this threat is about cutting off SNAP recipients.

Varying costs: The actual administrative costs vary widely from state to state due to factors like state economic conditions, SNAP caseload characteristics, and state policies.
Example figures:
In a recent period, California received over $1.2 billion for SNAP administration, which was 12% of its total SNAP funding.
Florida received $84 million for administration, which was a little over 1% of its overall federal SNAP funding."

I think we may have answered the question in the distinction about exactly which funds are being cut off here: funds for the states to administer the disbursements.

The legal term is coercion. And yeah, it's illegal. And the states will sue and lower courts will rule in their favor and then the corrupt supreme court overturns it.
in dementia Donald’s weak mind every SNAP recipient is committing fraud until it can be proven otherwise. Very American, very state’s rights and whatever happened to not negotiating with a terrorist?
So why do Blue states send money to the federal government? They contribute more than they receive.
Trump does so many illegal things. It's vital that the people vote in Democrat majorities in the House and Senate so he can be impeached.

Selective, and it does depend on the state/city. Believe it or not, NYC is strict on disability pensions. They will send investigators to spy on people claiming disability, to make sure they are really disabled. Every now and again a story makes the news where some worker claimed disability, but then was found playing rugby or something. They can go to jail for it, IIRC.

________________________
It's a significant amount. For example, in 2023, California's SNAP Administrative amount received from the Fed Govt. was up over $1.2 Billion. But, you're right, it's not the bulk of the costs, and, honestly, you can't just turn off the hose on everyone without a proper investigation to see who IS abusing the entitlement.
I think this is a nice start, but I'd like to see more pressure applied via legislation that lays down the oversight rules required by the State to benefit from Federal appropriations. The Senate and House need a swift kick in the ass to accomplish this. That puts the ball in the State's court and the risk of cutting off all benefits until they comply is legal...if not moral.

"He who does not work, neither shall he eat" is a biblical aphorism derived from II Thessalonians 3:10, traditionally attributed to Paul the Apostle, and was later adopted and reinterpreted by the international socialist and communist movements.
Vladimir Lenin cited the phrase in his 1917 work The State and Revolution as a foundational principle of socialism, arguing that in the first phase of communist society, only productive individuals should have access to consumption goods, marking a break from bourgeois law which allowed unequal individuals to receive equal products despite unequal labor.
This principle was enshrined in the 1918 Russian Constitution and later in Article 12 of the 1936 Soviet Constitution, which declared work a duty and honor for every able-bodied citizen.

Make them play that 8 hours a day. But give them 11 windows so they have to play, and monitor 10 other players.
This way it is scaleable and self monitoring. It would be easy to make an app to do it.
And make it all public so other people can monitor them.
You have to do it. 8 hours a day. 5 days a week. No play, no pay.
Or, get a fucking job you loser.
(Or course, exceptions for actual disabled, elderly, etc. but very strict and also public and monitored.)

I know that it's quite a fall from Paul to Lenin, but I don't necessarily disagree with this idea. Having been out of work for almost 2 1/2 years, I see how much poorer my life seems without a job. Work gives people dignity and purpose, and even a kind of joy when we do our jobs correctly. And the economy certainly benefits from having as many people work as are able, including those with physical and/or mental disabilities.
It's mandating what kind of work an individual or a group of individuals do that is the problem.

MN is where the regular Democrats are too right-wing so they instead have the DFL, Democratic Farmers and Laborers, which is to the left of the DNC (but still aligns with it for national elections).

Lefties Continue To Live in Denial, But Gas Prices Are Now Under $2/Gallon in Some Parts of the Country
When is Trump going to fulfill his campaign promise of reducing inflation?
Wait, he already has? Well in that case, when is he going to stop murdering poor innocent narcoterrorist drug smugglers?! Huh, racist?!US gas prices fell below $3 on Tuesday for the first time since May 2021, according to AAA. The national average price for regular gas dropped to $2.998 a gallon, down from $3.001 the previous day, according to the fuel price tracker. It was also down from $3.036 a month ago and $3.05 this time last year. Low prices at the pump come as Americans have been beaten down by sticky inflation and a weak labor market. A survey from the Conference Board last week found consumer confidence plunged to 88.7 in November -- down from 95.5 in October. That's the lowest level since April.You may wonder where I got the "under $2/gallon" fact. That's from local news reports compiled in a Black Conservative Perspective video, linked below. That video also features leftists coping and seething and denying that gas prices have come down, even as they drop to $2 or less.
... Recent weeks have seen President Trump tout his affordability agenda as Americans shell out more on everything from a cup of joe to plush sofas and kids' toys. But on Tuesday, the average price of gas dipped below $2.75 a gallon in 18 states including New Mexico, South Carolina, Wisconsin, Iowa and Colorado, according to AAA. Gas prices dropped alongside oil costs as the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, or OPEC, ramped up its production of oil -- keeping supply higher than demand and sending a barrel of crude down to just $59 as of Tuesday.
Last week, Axios actually admitted that the economy is, get this, strong.
Axios perhaps just inadvertently committed one of the most based forms of narrative-wrecking journalism ever to hit the leftist media ecosphere by admitting the Trump economy is a lot better than what the propaganda suggests. Axios economics reporter Courtenay Brown and Chief Economics Correspondent Neil Irwin -- the latter of which forecasted economic doom since President Donald Trump first took office -- released a shocking Thanksgiving Eve story declaring that "the biggest-picture indicators point to this being one of the better economies of modern times." Talk about a seismic concession for an outlet that had been routinely denigrating Trump's agenda from the get-go. As Brown and Irwin wrote, "There have been plenty of ominous warnings this year about the job market, trade war-fueled inflation, asset bubbles, and more. The mighty U.S. economy has chugged ahead in 2025 despite them all." In fact, "through 11 months of 2025, the overall trajectory is pretty darn solid." Well, dang! But of course, the authors tried to throw President Joe Biden a line by tracing some of the markers as far back as his administration, which makes sense given that Irwin was a notorious Bidenomics simp. Brown and Irwin pointed to a bevy of economic indicators such as unemployment remaining under 4.5 percent for 47 consecutive months, glossing over the fact that during Biden's term, millions were still missing from the labor force. But now, as EJ Antoni pointed out based on the recent September jobs numbers, "Net job growth in Sep was from full-time hiring and replacing part-time work w/ those full-time jobs; this is a welcomed improvement after the weakness earlier in the year."
Real wages are recovering from the Biden disaster!

This is a big success story that should be shouted from the rooftops. $2 gas? Are you pulling my dick? That's fantastic and puts real money back in people's pockets. Lotsa goods and services have gone down in price.
But too many people -- including too many conservatives -- just like to doomsay and whine about the price of beef and some other goods that have increased in price (due to no fault of Trump's).
Yes, beef is expensive, especially high-quality beef. If you want wagyu or prime porterhouse, you are always gonna pay. But chicken and pork is much cheaper. And despite the high price of beef, there are always sales on beef in the supermarkets I shop at.

Now that we aren't shipping as much overseas, produce has also been really cheap by me. Lots of loss leaders with prices lower than 10 years ago.
If only the proteins came down the same way. Although I guess it's a healthier diet to eat 4-5 veg with the protein. Like today's Trader Joe's orange chicken will be half as much chicken b/c I'm making a veg stir fry for under it. Better to have less sauce and breading and all the veg.

It's always important to remember.
We expect positive job numbers because our population grows. The 150,000 number thrown around for years was the base assumption of people entering the workforce because of population growth.
However, we are now in population shrinkage. Deportations (both self and forced) are so high right now that we're probably going to see net smaller population in 2026 than at the start of 2025.
So, with that in mind, what is a good job report?

I tried to get pie pumpkins for 10 cents each, but those didn't deliver. Oh well. Delivery didn't cost me anything.

Cattle herds are at all-time lows, due in part to stupid govt policies under Biden. That, plus beef is right now very popular especially with the affluent set. Steakhouses are popping up everywhere. Women are eating more beef.
When you have lower supply and higher demand, then prices will of course go up.
But even then, while nice cuts like choice are expensive, the lower-quality cuts are still fairly reasonable. London Broil is about $7 a pound at my supermarket.

O/T but on my mind due to itching from adhesive, and I have allergies to everything...which is on my medical record regarding adhesives. I did write in my little holter monitor diary that from 2-4am I was having anxiety due to itching and two hours of no sleep due to this contraption. I don't seem to have issues due to heart stuff. Fairly sure AI reads the report after I rip it and a layer of skin off tomorrow, or I'd crack jokes in the diary. Will probably now be hospitalized for a skin graft vs a cardiac issue.Maybe I will have a boob job at the same time.
I was promised a watch monitor and got this thing stuck to my chest instead. No one knows what they are doing, mate.

By historical standards that pretty low. In the 70s, 80s and 90s people would have given their first born for a mortgage that cheap. Even in the 2000s 5-6% was about average.
It was post 2008 ZIRP that created ultra cheap loans in the 3s and 4s and then it went on steroids during the COVID madness. but it was never sustainable.

Gavin was trying to offer incentives to keep it open, and the company said "screw it, we're done." And there were no buyers - it's just being shut down cold, as a pure loss. This is going to be a huge, irreplaceable shortage to California markets, and may send California prices to $8 per gallon next year, no matter what is happening in the rest of the country.

I’ve got no dog in that fight. But good for the Ukes. During the last round of negotiations, Russia tried to gain ground on the battlefield and started lobbing missiles at their cities. I guess they figured maybe they shouldn’t be the only people be who paused operations.
Posted by: Vengeance at December 03, 2025 03:05 PM (9MWCZ)
If a refinery got blown up, it wasn't the Ukes, it was us what did it.
And the reason there is no peace in that war is NOT because the Russians continue to fire missiles. It's because nobody in charge in the West has gotten it through their thick heads that they lost, and every day that passes means whatever deal they are gonna get is going to be worse than it was the day before.

My favorite part of that scheme is after they eliminate plastic bags, they put a tax on the paper bag that’s now offered to you at the grocery store.
By the way, part of their appeal is these bags are dangerous to wildlife. But that’s not true. Every year I outfit the deer around here with plastic bag suits for the winter. It keeps the rain and snow off their bags and they seem appreciative.

Yup...I was limiting to 5, but you could do cheese, too, or have that as another basket. It would be like a whole month of healthy eating - maybe it should kick of January when everyone wants to eat healthy and he can try to make it stick (and it's good PR on prices and a good push of his "healthy eating, healthy living" campaign)...

The only time I've ever been through Charleston, WV, my friends and I stopped at a 7/11 to grab some beer. In the parking lot there were several black men all sharing a couple of watermelons, spent rinds laying all around. I am not making this up or trying to be cute. That was the scene. Having never been to West Virginia, I can say that was the last thing on Earth I expected to see there.

I think the larger problem with housing was the glut of demand stemming from first the emptying out of cities (to the small degree they did) in 2020/2021 and the increase in population from immigration (yes, illegals were being offered mortgages).
Builders have been over building for years to meet that, and this issue should largely even out on its own.
The bigger problem with rates is the more direct problem with rates: interest on government debt.

Truth in advertising: I was driving yesterday, in a part of Colorado that had some mountains in the distance, but on this one spot, there was a church, called Mountain View.
Now, where that church sat, all of the distance peaks were obscured, except one.
If they had named the place "Mountains View Church," I wouldn't trust that pastor.

Interestingly enough, on this morning's Sean Spicer and Dan Turrentine political show, The Huddle, they were talking about Stefanik and her beef with Johnson. It's personal with her, and this goes back to the time where Stefanik left leadership to get nominated as UN Ambassador, and Johnson ended up slow walking her nom to the point where Trump had to pull it. When she wanted to get back into leadership Johnson said no way. Bottom line per them - she'd been well and truly shafted, and wants payback.

It's the whole economic system is geared by the interest rate.
And right now 6% is high. It's high to builders, businesses and to regular people. When we made our 10% loans (if we were lucky)
that's the way everything was set up.
After Powell, when the Fed lowers the rate, it will be boom city.
For blue collar, suits and business.

4% and 3% mortgages were rates that never existed before - and certainly at least as far back as the 80s of my yoot. Modern-day homebuyers that took advantage of those rates were lucky beyond belief. Unfortunately, they think that those rates are 'normal'. They aren't.

Incredible: Up to Forty Percent of the Students at Supposedly-Elite Universities Claim to Be, and Are Acknowledged by the School to be, "Disabled"
As you know, people who claim to be disabled get all sorts of privileges, like taking standardized tests -- to the extent they're even required any longer -- without any time limit.
But once at college, you can also use your "disability" to take all exams untimed, too. Also, since white people are discriminated against unconstitutionally, it is even more useful to be able to claim you're a minority too, by faking a "disability." (Or, of course, by claiming to be some type of sexual minority, like "queer," which no longer means just homosexual but can mean being an "ally" of homosexuals.) These factors plus universities now being clownshows that eat nonsense and shit failure have resulted in Stanford, supposedly an "elite" university accepting only the highest-performing students, having a student body that is 30% "disabled," almost always with some soft mental "disability" like "nuerdivergence." Things that cannot be easily disproved, in other words.Serek ThompsonEven Steve Jobs' ex-wife's vanity newsletter The Atlantic sees this as a problem.
@DKThomp This is a great piece with some mind-boggling statistics. - At Brown and Harvard, more than 20% of undergraduates are registered as disabled
- At Amherst: more than 30 percent
- At Stanford: nearly 40 percent Soon, many of these schools "may have more students receiving [disability] accommodations than not, a scenario that would have seemed absurd just a decade ago." As students and their parents have recognized the benefits of claiming disability--extended time on tests, housing accommodations, etc -- the rates of disability at colleges, and especially at elite colleges, has exploded. America used to stigmatize disability too severely. Now elite institutions reward it too liberally. It simply does not make any sense to have a policy that declares half of the students at Stanford cognitively disabled and in need of accommodations.
Like cell phones you can look up the answers on.
America's colleges have an extra-time-on-tests problem.
Administering an exam used to be straightforward: All a college professor needed was an open room and a stack of blue books. At many American universities, this is no longer true. Professors now struggle to accommodate the many students with an official disability designation, which may entitle them to extra time, a distraction-free environment, or the use of otherwise-prohibited technology.
The University of Michigan has two centers where students with disabilities can take exams, but they frequently fill to capacity, leaving professors scrambling to find more desks and proctors. Juan Collar, a physicist at the University of Chicago, told me that so many students now take their exams in the school's low-distraction testing outposts that they have become more distracting than the main classrooms. Accommodations in higher education were supposed to help disabled Americans enjoy the same opportunities as everyone else. No one should be kept from taking a class, for example, because they are physically unable to enter the building where it's taught. Over the past decade and a half, however, the share of students at selective universities who qualify for accommodations--often, extra time on tests--has grown at a breathtaking pace. At the University of Chicago, the number has more than tripled over the past eight years; at UC Berkeley, it has nearly quintupled over the past 15 years. The increase is driven by more young people getting diagnosed with conditions such as ADHD, anxiety, and depression, and by universities making the process of getting accommodations easier. The change has occurred disproportionately at the most prestigious and expensive institutions. At Brown and Harvard, more than 20 percent of undergraduates are registered as disabled. At Amherst, that figure is 34 percent. Not all of those students receive accommodations, but researchers told me that most do. The schools that enroll the most academically successful students, in other words, also have the largest share of students with a disability that could prevent them from succeeding academically. "You hear 'students with disabilities' and it's not kids in wheelchairs," one professor at a selective university, who requested anonymity because he doesn't have tenure, told me. "It's just not. It's rich kids getting extra time on tests." Even as poor students with disabilities still struggle to get necessary provisions, elite universities have entered an age of accommodation. Instead of leveling the playing field, the system has put the entire idea of fairness at risk.We can't just blame the universities. Left-wing Congressmen are also to blame.
So these dirtbag fraudsters are just self-reporting "I'm neurodivergent, I have ADHD" with no medical diagnosis at all and Congress says that we must treat this self-diagnosis as real. Coincidentally, I just happened to watch this interesting video about people -- mostly women -- self-diagnosing themselves with a novel and quite fake new syndrome called "AuDHD," which is, supposedly, autism plus ADHD. Autism, which involves fixating on something and focusing on it to the exclusion of all else, plus the inability to focus on something. This woman, who I guess is a psychologist or psychiatrist, says that this fake diagnosis is gaining traction because psychiatrists just can't say "no" to patients. If some moron comes in claiming they are both hyper-focused and yet cannot focus, the psychiatrist just says "Yes." Why are psychiatrists board certified if any asshole off the street can self-diagnose? This woman points out that one of the women claiming to have this nonsensical diagnosis is clearly not autistic, as, for example, she admits she craves attention and validation -- something autistics usually don't care about -- and deploys strategies like "mirroring" and "love-bombing" to manipulate men into falling in love with her. As she says: Autistics wish they could deploy the tactic of personality-mirroring to make people fall in love with them. But actual autistics cannot even understand other people's specific personalities, nevermind being able to "mirror" them, that is, act just like them so that the other person sees you as a kindred spirit. If autistics could just "act like other people" then, get this, they would not be autistic. But just as with the trans fad, young women are determined to diagnose themselves with some "hot" new mental illness, and just like with the trans fad, alleged medical professionals are too afraid to tell them that they're full of shit and need to grow the hell up.
... Change was slow at first, in part because Supreme Court rulings narrowed the scope of the law. Professors I spoke with told me that, even in the early 2000s, they taught only a handful of students with disabilities. Then, in 2008, Congress amended the ADA to restore the law's original intent. The government broadened the definition of disability, effectively expanding the number of people the law covered. It also included a list of major life activities that could be disrupted by a disability ("learning, reading, concentrating, thinking," among others) and clarified that individuals were protected under the ADA even if their impairment didn't severely restrict their daily life. In response to the 2008 amendments, the Association on Higher Education and Disability (AHEAD), an organization of disability-services staff, released guidance urging universities to give greater weight to students' own accounts of how their disability affected them, rather than relying solely on a medical diagnosis. "Requiring extensive medical and scientific evidence perpetuates a deviance model of disability, undervalues the individual's history and experience with disability and is inappropriate and burdensome under the revised statute and regulations," AHEAD wrote.

I was encouraged back in the late 90's to claim that I was disabled when I went into a state university since it would have the government pay my tuition and get me advanced access to sign up for classes early. All I had to do was meet with some disability office or something.
I always thought it was a fraud - but I did it because I wanted to spare my parents the burden of paying my tuition. Then I started working part time during my sophmore year and thus paying my own way through school - and stopped claiming disability.
I'm not disabled. I can't eat cake. Thats not a f'ing disability.

Being "disabled" gives you all kinds of advantages educationally and probably financially too. Any kid who doesn't do this, when everyone else is, is at a yuge disadvantage. If you can't beat em, join em.
If I could do college all over again, I would absolutely claim I was native american. I am to a tiny degree. Why not take advantage if everyone else is?
My biggest advice to any kid of today applying to college is to find some hook or angle -- anything -- that can make you some kind of minority. Putting down "minority" on your application (and later job resume, etc) will get you further in life than anything else will.

Wow! Front row parking everywhere!
It's now a minimum $500 fine in TX if you get caught in one illegally.
And it's such a stupid, stupid law:
0.01% of the people I see parking there have actual, visible difficulty walking.
Especially if you exclude obesity.
And yes, there is a race that is overwhelmingly represented in the "can walk just fine" but have a handicapped placard/plate.

Now was Cuellar guilty? Of course he was, but probably no more guilty than any other Democrat Congressman, or Republican for that matter. So why was he singled out? Because he opposed Biden on immigration, and as a hispanic office holder from the border region, his voice carried some weight. So Biden's FBI crucified him.
Nice move by Trump.

A lot of psychiatrists are just drug pushers. That's not me being silly or exaggerating.
If you go into their office, and say you have this or that malady, and they have a drug for it, they'll give you that drug.

Of course. The psychiatrist knows that if he doesn't say "yes," someone else will, and the first psychiatrist will lose a patient.
When I was a baby lawyer I was often asked to research and opine on proposed conduct or business decisions by clients. A client would want to do X, and asked a lawyer if it was legal.
Some of the Xs were way out there, clearly illegal. So my memo basically said "no you can't do this." The senior partner told me "never tell a client he can't do something. He'll just ask someone else and we'll lose a client. Say something like 'this would be risky, and here's how it might best be done to minimize the risk.' But don't ever say 'no.'"

So I got myself declared to have something wrong (I forget what) and got extra time my 2L and 3L years.
When I was a 3L, I took a test only open to 3L's. I was in an extra time room - with pretty much everybody on Law Review. And prior to the test, they were complaining how they weren't getting extra time on the actual State bar exam!

It has been demonstrated (through real studies) that talk therapy is not very useful. Except for that poopulation you mention, the neurotics who just want someone to listen to them.
The concept in mental health these days is to use "evidence based" therapies, and if you are skeptical of that phrase, you should be.
However, the therapies that HAVE been shown to be effective for the more serious types of mental illness are the ones that use methods, other than "talk."
And if non-professionals are out there spewing their garbage about this and that, it just adds to the overall skepticism most people have of the mental health professions.

Not just because the song is awful because, to be honest, it's not *the worst* Christmas song ever, it's because Wham's music video is just lazy. The 80s had all these amazing music videos and then Wham puts out that turkey with a video probably just consisting of shots of the band on winter vacation in Asspen or the Alps.

I've conducted college-level quizzes and exams. There were a couple of unlimited time disability types. OK. At the time, it was kind of rare.
On one occasion, for a lab final, I told everybody there was no strict time limit. Mistake. What I concluded was that people either knew the material or they didn't; and if they didn't, all the extra time in the world wouldn't change the outcome, it would just waste time.

That was ironic because he was also proud of not having any special considerations for his own disability.
Overcoming hardship is part of life. Yes we should make things accessible, and yes we should make allowances, but if you start telling people that they should give up and grift of their disability they lose a big part of life. Life is struggle.
These kids grifting because they understand college is not about education, it is about credential -- that is the start of the problem.
ADA was a mistake, and an extension of the "public accommodation" mistake. Fine for gov. to be inclusive and accessible but extending it to private business is theft.

It's the story of how a young man met another young man in a rest stop men's room, had sex with him, and then was ghosted by the other man.
So yeah, the fact it happened on Christmas was entirely irrelevant. Guys like George Michael are picking up men in rest rooms all year long.
Well, not George. He hasn't been composing lately.

Autism, which involves fixating on something and focusing on it to the exclusion of all else, plus the inability to focus on something.
Posted by: Ace at 01:20 PM
As an acronym, "AuDHD" must logically stand for Autism Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, and they plainly have a profound lack of autism, so it is technically correct (the best kind of correct) that they are deficient in it. However, if they are trying to pose as autistic, they should not have chosen such a horrifyingly clunky term that no actual autiste could possibly tolerate.

TT is a cesspool of toxic extremism. You don't get noticed by being moderate. You get noticed for taking outrageous positions. So you have the female TT saying "all men are pigs, just use them for their money."
At the same time, the male "influencers" are saying "all women are whores, just use them for sex."
These of course reinforce each other.

Purely academic and curiosity question:
Is there a difference in the definitions of the words "autistics" and "autists"?
The former appears to be an adjective with a plural "s" added, whereas the latter is the plural form of a noun.

It's been said, most Hollywood screenwriters are gay, so when you see a romance in a movie, where the two meet cute, and are "in love" quickly, it's basically the story of two dudes.
Except no one wants to see that, so they hire a female to play the "other male" part.

In the movie, Santa, whose real name is Nicomund the Red, was once a fearsome Viking warrior known for his brutal violence and pillaging, which he deeply regrets.
This dark origin explains his violent tendencies as he confronts a group of mercenaries who have taken a family hostage during Christmas.
The film, directed by Tommy Wirkola, reimagines Santa as an immortal Viking warrior who taps into his violent past to protect children, blending action, dark humor, and holiday themes.
A sequel, Violent Night 2, is in production and set for release in December 2026. You may now continue.

One of the ways I was manipulated by my ex-AH was being told over and over no one would want a single mom of a special needs child. It’s kind of a crappy thing, honestly, because not all of us wanted to be that. And I don’t think having a father in the picture paying their share and being an active parent makes you a single mom, either. But that is another conversation, and not my situation.

It shouldn’t be complicated: any school caught doing this should lose its funding without exception and be replaced by building new schools from the ground up. If an institution refuses to educate, let it fail and replace it with one that actually teaches. The academic system has been fucked up for decades, and it’s time to rebuild it around real learning, real accountability, and real outcomes.

There was a letter to Ann Landers ago that I remember, because it was so weird.
A woman wrote to Ann explaining that she was allergic to cold. I mean, not the usual female aversion to cold where they have to dial up the thermostat to the boiling point of water, but some possible fatal condition where the messed with her skin or something. So she had a handicapped sticker so that she could park as close to the building as possible in cool weather. But she said that other folks would always give her the stinkeye about it because she wasn't disabled and looked otherwise healthy.
I don't remember what Ann's advice was, though.

In the commentary, they say he insisted on having New York water brought to the set. He refused to drink anything other than New York water.
They had originally tried to use Vincent Price for the voice of Oogie Boogie, but his voice was too frail. The actor who plays the part was a local, and he's just so damned perfect.

Agreed. I love the old classics, with those singers who are long dead (except Johnny Mathis??), but I look for traditional carols played on period instruments from the times they were written.
Or big choruses, with orchestras. Or monks.

2. Songs about the celebration of Christmas (e.g., "Deck the Halls");
3. Santa songs;
4. Winter songs, celebrating snow (which everyone goes back to hating once the holidays are over), sleigh rides, etc.

Extra time on your test:
Back in my Army days, the first time I did my annual SQT test as an Infantry Private, I knocked that shit out in about 1/3 of the allotted time. First soldier to finish. The division SQT NCO asked me where I was going, and I told him I was going to the latrine and then waiting for the rest of the company. He responded "No, you aren't finished. Go sit back down and check your work." So I sat and looked at the test booklet for about 3 minutes without touching my pencil and then brought it up for grading.
Perfect score, bitchez.
That didn't go over well...

Republican Matt Van Epps Holds On to Win the Tennessee 7 Special Election, But It's A Much Closer Race Than We'd've Hoped
Trump won the district by 22 points in 2024.
Van Epps won by about nine points. The Democrats are hysterical and frantic and absolutely energized to kill us at the polls -- and maybe in real life too. And too many Republicans, and especially too many Trump supporters, are content with the 2024 win and don't really care about the Democrats winning Congress back and impeaching Trump in the first month of 2026.Gerrymandering is becoming a very tricky thing for us. When you gerrymander to increase the number of seats you could win, you necessarily increase the number of seats you can lose. There's no way around that. Gerrymandering for numbers involves drawing districts which have scant majorities of your voters. You spread your voters around so that you can win with thin margins in as many districts as possible. But doing this means that in a bad year, you lose many of those districts you've drawn to have thin margins. Your deliberately-thin margin of victory turns into a loss. Does that mean we shouldn't redistrict? No, because control of the House is a very binary thing. It kind of doesn't matter if you lose the House by ten seats or thirty seats. Either way, you have lost the power to bring bills in for a vote, or block them from a vote, and of course Democrats are intensely partisan hive-mind bug people who will all vote in lockstep so even a majority of two seats for the Democrats is a guaranteed majority in every important vote. There are effectively no more swing districts or moderate Congressmen... except on the GOP side. But given our performance so far, I think it's now guaranteed that we will lose the House by thirty seats, unless something changes bigly, and I don't know what that could be. Trump has attracted new voters, yes, but these voters... don't really vote. Meanwhile, a new poll released by the Democrats shows that Ken Paxton is leading shameless RINO traitor John Cornyn.
Republicans won Tuesday's special election in Tennessee. But instead of celebrating, many are dreading what it means about the midterms. Republican Rep.-elect Matt Van Epps' roughly nine point win marks a massive shift toward Democrats from 2024, when President Donald Trump carried the district by 22 points. That double digit swing -- on the heels of crushing losses in off-year elections in November -- could be a harbinger of what House Republicans will face in the midterms next year, members and strategists warned, as they seek to hold on to their narrow control of the chamber. "Tonight is a sign that 2026 is going to be a bitch of an election cycle," said one House Republican, granted anonymity to speak candidly. "Republicans can survive if we play team and the Trump administration officials play smart. Neither is certain." Democrat Aftyn Behn's overperformance in the Tennessee special election -- which attracted millions of dollars in spending and national attention in its final days -- continues a trend of concerning electoral results for the GOP. Earlier this year, Democrats saw big overperformances in losses in other special elections in deep-red seats, and last month they swept a slate of critical off-year elections, including gubernatorial races in Virginia and New Jersey. In the wake of those victories, some Republicans urged the White House to retool its political message to better engage moderate voters and independents who broke for Trump in the presidential election. "I'm glad we won. But the GOP should not ignore the Virginia, New Jersey and Tennessee elections," Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.), who is retiring from his swingy Omaha-based district, said. "We must reach swing voters. America wants some normalcy."
Why did the Democrats release this poll? PPP is a bad polling outfit that pumps out crap polls, so we shouldn't put much stock in this poll either way; but why are the Democrats releasing it? Presumably they want to make trouble and influence the primary vote, but influence it how? Are they trying to gin up support for Cornyn, the liberal? Or are they trying to depress his voters in the belief that Ken Paxton, the actual conservative, would be easier for Jasmine Ratchet to defeat in the general election? I don't know. Neither seem like very compelling ops to me. But Cornyn is claiming the poll is rigged by Democrats to hurt him.

Cornyn has led several recent polls; his campaign adviser Matt Mackowiak said the incumbent senator will win and that "Democrats are desperate to run against fatally flawed homewrecker Ken Paxton and cost the GOP a critically valuable Senate seat and as much as $200M in the general election." Lauren French, a Senate Majority PAC spokeswoman, called that response "weak, half-hearted spin."

Robby StarbuckWelcome to Wednesday. The word Wednesday comes from the Old Norse word "Wednyss," meaning "the hump of the workweek." Whoops! I was so focused on writing posts I forgot to post this one at 12:10. I'm telling you, I think this creatine actually improves focus.
@robbystarbuck Some will be mad at me for this but I say it out of love for our country... We won the TN special election by less than we should have. If you've been to this area, you know it should have been a blowout. And this isn't a knock on Matt Van Epps. He had lower name ID to begin with and did a good job pulling it out. A lesser candidate would have made it a real nail biter. So why was it close? Many voters are apathetic and have very little enthusiasm on our side. Why? They think our majority in Congress is failing them due to weak leadership, bad priorities & inconsistent messaging. Before I go further, I don't say this to punch my own side for fun. I don't do that. I say this because I want us to dominate for many years to come. Major time was wasted this year that should have been spent IN SESSION solving problems. We need to right the ship or voters will sink our ship in 2026. Enthusiasm from 2024 is gone. The blind trust is gone. They want action. The people in Congress need to realize that they aren't Trump and he isn't there to carry them on the ballot in 2026. They need to deliver now. And even then we likely have to run '26 like a Presidential election with Trump going around the country. I see it on the ground. Voters want to know when promises are going to be kept by Congress. They want a Congress that works as much as they do. They want the agenda they voted for in 2024 passed into law. They want the deep state held accountable. They want transparency. They want full focus on domestic issues instead of foreign issues. They want Congress to improve their lives. They want them to stop trading stocks. And they want to know what the hell Congress is actually doing for them. If our GOP majority doesn't deliver, many of these people won't vote, no matter how much they hate Democrats. I'm hearing from people who I'd describe as the Trumpiest people I met from 2016-2024 who straight up won't vote in 2026 unless Congress changes to a fighting spirit this year and stacks wins on the board. These people have lost faith and feel like everything is rigged by uniparty puppets for special interests. Doesn't matter what I tell these people. I can't make most of them vote again. Neither can any other big social media account. Only ACTION from electeds will move them at this point to feel that the incumbents deserve their vote. This is exclusively a right wing problem. The left is enthusiastic just about hating us. That animates their base by itself. And many of the good things that have happened in Congress this year aren't even reaching the ears or eyeballs of average voters because the messaging is soft and inconsistent. Everyone needs a gut check and to tell the truth NOW to right the ship or they're going to get a much larger gut check in November 2026 when we lose the House majority and go through another stupid impeachment hoax. Voters feel like they've shown up time and time again for politicians but that politicians aren't showing up for them by running on the same promises every election but then never delivering them. That goes for both sides but the left has enthusiasm simply from their base hating Trump. Our side needs to actually motivate our people to vote. Congress needs a hard look in the mirror and to get to work on fixing this NOW. Our majority CAN fix this. Now the question of 2026 is this: Will they? I sure hope so because the alternative is dark. It's time to get to work.

If you want this to mean something greater, it means that we're in a D+1 environment, very far from anything like a wave.
Except...special elections don't mean shit because turnout of 33% just can't be equated to turnout of 75-85% like the midterms will be.
OH-6 went through this game just last year.
2022 - R won by 35.
2024 special - R won by 9.
Oh no! A D swing of 26! Republicans are cooked!
2024 - R won by 33 (and Trump won the state and the "popular vote")

Republicans mostly have what they want, so they aren't interested right now.
THAT is the only salient point for 2026- how do Republicans give their voters a reason to be excited. Because I'm not excited about most of the back-stabbing grifters who represent the Republican party.
Trump needs to nationalize the election and get a platform that EVERY Republican will swear to vote on like the Contract with America.
It worked once, it can work again. We have the most unique politician of my lifetime in Trump. He can't make the left any more energized to stop him. He needs to get his base energized to help him.

The media is never going to show the Republican held congress in a good light. So the voters need to feel/see the difference of having the GOP in control. I know the margins are so close that they can't get much done or go to bold but whatever they are doing is not working.

a lot of this is the usual FUD
the Left wants Cornyn. OF COURSE. Cornyn is lying in their service. OF COURSE. it's simple. The Left (which Cornyn is, de facto) wants Paxton to not be the nominee. that way they win either way.
As far as the special, it's a special. TN voted right. It went well. Not going to start eeyoring about that. The Left would NOT. they poured a LOT into that special. now they can still "win" by making us miserable about ... a win?!?!

I think these people are somewhere between optimistic and delusional. I think we are in trouble. We have no voter turnout, no enthusiasm, nothing that drives voters to the polls other than Trump being on the ballot. We seem to think we mobilized for Trump in 2024, and so our work is done.
Meanwhile, the Democraps are mobilized like D-Day and spending every waking moment planning their comeback. Some of us spend more time shooting each other in circular firing squads than we do fighting Democraps.
If we don't turn this around, the midterms are gonna be a bloodbath.

They should look at the Brit Conservative Party to see what happens after you've screwed your base one time too many. (Contrary to what some think, Starmer didn't really win a landslide by garnering tons of votes. Conservatives just sat it out.) The Republicans are not that far from that fate.

Trump needs to nationalize the election and get a platform that EVERY Republican will swear to vote on like the Contract with America.

That's exactly right. The GOP/GOPe need to get off their collective asses and study Trump--he fights, and he wins. He also wants and openly campaigns for things and issues that WE WANT. "We" come out and vote for Trump because he comes out and advocates for us. The same isn't true of the GOP/GOPe--they only want the grift to continue.

After weeks of hearing how Democrats were going to flip the seat and every major Democrat descended on the district to rally the troops and pour millions of dollars into the race they got their asses handed to them.
Why should Van Epps, a guy with no name recognition running for an open seat, have done better? He still had to contend with the zombie voters in Nashville that would vote D for a dry dog turd and still hit the target. He's not Trump. Nobody is. Expecting him to perform to that level is not realistic.
Congress absolutely has to get it's shit together and start producing at a higher level but I don't see this as predictive of anything other than R's held a seat they should by a level they should. If anything, it's a positive sign.

Because hot takes are what gets attention, not sober analysis because influencers and media lose their audience by that time. I am no fan of GOP campaign apparatus and their feeble state and local parties but here, Van Epps won a race by 9 in a +10 GOP district according to Cook's Political Reporting and most of the 'hits' by the Van Epps campaign came late while Behn had already banked her early votes before the hits (you saw that when she jumped to an early lead).
Trump consistently overperforms getting people to the polls consistently which is why I think he won in 2020. No previous president has ever gained votes in a reelection from the first election and lost.
That being said, traditionally the GOP did not have to have a ground game like the Dems. Now the party bases have swapped (college educated and wealthy voters moving left), broader GOP coalition, GOTV is imperative for Team Red.

2024 - R+33
Small turnouts do not predict regular turnout. They just don't.
And the House will probably move less than 10 seats next year. A D win, even a big D win, would probably net them, maybe, 15 seats. The big effect of the 2020 census redistricting has been to reduce the number of actual purple-ish seats to a bare minimum.
Plus, the poll averages will probably move 4-5 points to the right in the next 10 months.

If you're voting republican, the polls are open tomorrow, Wednesday not today
It was always going be a steep hill. But Behn herself no favor featuring AOC at her rally.
AOC has nothing to do with the lose. It's a deep red district Republicans spent millions of dollars to win that shouldn't have required a campaign.
I LOVE AOC. When people LISTEN to her, they have more in common with her than they realize. But as a progressive woman, she's been vilified by the Reich wing to the point of being "Hillaried".
High profile NE & NY liberals and activists are not universally beloved in deep red states. Did they motivate more Dems and Indys to turn out, or more otherwise unhappy Rs?
The Trumpanzees didn’t care when our own troops were used against us. When the Department of Education was dynamited. When young girls were horribly used by wealthy men, including the Chomo In Chief. TN voters only care about being self-sufficient. Couple of beef cows in the yard little veggie plot who needs anything else. They cared only when beer, Copenhagen, and groceries cost more.

Being honest, I think a good thing for Cornyn to lose, but it will make the general election tighter. Cornyn would win in the general easily. Paxton or Hunt would win more narrowly - and both have the potential to lose. If the Dems run Jasmine, they will lose no matter what. A smarter Dem party - does that exist - would run a more center minded candidate.

They will crawl through the glass to vote for their candidate more than we will. Van Epps should've blown the hatec*nt out of the water, but he didn't. And we won't in November because our side really is the Stupid Party. Our leaders are squishy and so are our voters.
"Candidate X ISN'T PERFECT!!!" So they don't even vote and hand the seat to a D.
It's f*cking retarded. This is why we can't have nice things.
It's like the 4 years of Biden and the previous 8 years of Owebama didn't scare the holy hell out of us ENOUGH, where we defeat the D NO MATTER WHAT.
I mean, enjoying the Fetterman administration? 100% D votes is SOOOOO much better than an 85% Oz vote for R (or whatever he would've done, we'll never know).

She will lose by 9 or so, though. Sassy black lady won't play well with Hispanics.

Give the new voting base a reason to get out there and vote for you. They have a reason to vote for Trump. Congress needs to give them a reason to vote for Congress. They need to see positive action in the things that matter to them.

Depends on the 2026 economy and other events. Late Spring/Early Summer or so is when to concentrate as feelings start to gel politically. We will know how many retirements, their replacements, the new district lines more or less, and whether the blue states are being forced to pare voting rolls and Scotus decisions that affect the field take place.
GOP has some headwinds, but a strong growing economy and job gains among citizens plus lower fuel prices might alleviate the typical midterm slump.

I agree but the problem is not the House, but the GOP majority in the Senate.
You gotta have both a ground game and a reason to vote. People like to be asked, not bombarded by robocalls, mailers, negative ads, and other tedious GOP campaign tactics. GOP never really had to develop much retail politics as they relied on the fact that their base voted reliably (SES, etc. reasons). Now campaigns need to specifically reach out and touch individual voters, move to banking early votes from occasional voters, wean GOP types off from voting only on Election Day (see AZ in 2022 and PA in the recent retention election as to why), and fight fraud from the Dems.
It also means going out to new communities like Trump does to convert new voters from people that would normally not vote GOP. Back in the day, Jack Kemp did that well but was saddled in with an aging Senatorial dud on the top of the ticket just like Sarah Palin was.

There is also an element of timing at play. Congress did pass the BBB which includes lot of things like tax cuts that won't be felt until next year.
We've become a culture of immediate gratification and there is a lot Congress needs to do but if the economy starts to improve, jobs start returning because of the economy and Juan going home, people feel tax cuts and more the entire environment changes.
The vast majority of people couldn't tell you what Congress does day to day but they can tell you if they feel the results in their lives.

Yes, exactly. The dirty little secret the fake media doesn't mention is the redistricting in 2022 split heavily Democratic Nashville across districts, adding the city's northwestern portion—mostly majority-Black precincts—to the 7th District while shifting some rural counties to the 8th District.
This made the district less solidly Republican, leading to tighter races like the 2025 special election

I also wouldn't worry too much about Trump. His plan was always - always - to have a slump in our economy between the outsource and onshoring regimes. Tariffs were always going to be the bridge to help the gov't between those periods, and the BBB was always meant to give regular people a lifeline and companies an incentive to accelerate onshoring. That plan was always supposed to kick in by the midterms in a way that was evident to the electorate. The only ones in the way were going to be the judges, the Dems, the media, and the weak sisters in the R party that didn't see the goal line that was starkly evident for all who wanted to look.
I'm not worried about Trump at all. At. All.

Odessa Kelly (D) 38.1% 68,973
Posted by: CharlieBrown'sDildo
CBD, Green was an incumbent which is about worth 5 percentage points due to favors given and received if your congressional office is halfway competent at constituency services. He also had much more money than Kelly who was a black sassy female with no money nor much backing. Abortion Barbie part two, had millions and probably with dark money outspent Van Epps two to one. Plus she represented part of the district as a sitting state House rep. Then the Epps media hits on Abortion Barbie redux were late affecting her vote little (banking early votes is why), Van Epps is apparently a generic GOP candidate, and his campaign relied too heavily on the traditional negative ads, robocalls, fliers, endorsement campaigns that rally the faithful but doesn't really move the needle much in a holiday season.
He did about as expected for a non incumbent winning by 9 as a generic GOP candidate in a GOP +10 district (not the ridiculous +22 bullshit). See normal vote (Phillip Converse) and how it is calculated if you want to understand Cook ratings.

What VA Dems have been doing (probably wildly effectively) is sending "friend postcards" to all women voters aged 18-29 in VA...and ONLY them. Happy, perky, actual handwritten and signed by an individual female asking them to vote for their "friend" and seeing if they voted yet. That's all the mail they get...but for LIV young women, they don't get R mail, so the personalized D touch (and they sometimes gets 3-4 of these from 3-4 different women, not the candidate) is proving very effective.

And, if so, the "but Trump won by 22!!" is completely irrelevant.
Worrying about winning a +10 district b/c we "only" won it by 9% is BS.
Dems are all, "sure we lost, but it was closer than is should have been--so we really won!"
Rs are all, "sure we won but it was closer than it should have been--so we really lost!"
And, of course, from last month, the Rs: "Sure we lost seats we were guaranteed to lose--so we really, really lost!!"

How do you feel about balut?
Balut is a popular Filipino delicacy made from fertilized duck eggs that are incubated for approximately 17 to 18 days, allowing the embryo to develop partially while still being edible.
They boil the egg, then sell it as street food. Just crack it open, throw on some salt and seasoning, and nibble away as you go about your day.

🚨🚨 MASSIVE DEVELOPMENT IN OBAMAGATE — TULSI GABBARD JUST WENT NUCLEAR
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has confirmed that MORE DOCUMENTS exposing Barack Obama’s leadership role in the Russiagate hoax will be released THIS WEEK.
And that’s not all.
Tulsi has now officially referred Barack Hussein Obama to the DOJ for CRIMINAL PROSECUTION for his role in what she calls a seditious conspiracy — an unprecedented, weaponized attack on a duly-elected President and on the Republic itself.
This is the first time a former president has faced a criminal referral for orchestrating an intelligence-operation against his political opponent.
And Obama’s reaction spoke volumes.
The man who never responds to political controversy suddenly rushed out a statement — which tells you everything.
He knows the walls are closing in.
Tulsi says we are now closer than ever to:
✅ An Obama indictment
✅ Full public disclosure of the Russiagate operation
✅ Long-awaited accountability for the architects of the hoax
✅ The first real step toward national healing after years of corruption, sabotage, and abuse
This is HUGE.
This is history.

Yea, the DU take on this is ... something. They seem unable to understand -- like it just doesn't compute at all -- that voters might vote in their own self-interests in one of the most basic interests there is: helping their families stay fed, happy, and healthy.
Their fetish for sacrificing their own interests in favor of whatever obscure bullshit New Thing the Democraps are pimping is so ingrained and brainwashed, that they can't even conceive of anyone doing anything different.

Virginia, specifically, had a whole lot of people with vengeance in mind having been Fed employees laid off by the current administration, or knowing someone who had been. New Jersey has been corrupt and lost for ages. It's not going to change....just get worse.

This is the problem that Elon Musk found when he started DOGE: the incentives of the budget cutters are completely misaligned with the incentives of Congresscritters.
The job of DC is to pass legislation. That's it. They are not incentivized to pass good laws, or to eliminate bad ones. Both Ds and Rs are there to pass legislation, and 'do something' and give bennies to their consitutents, whom they ultimately answer to in the voting booth.

Plus, from what I've seen. he has the charisma of a moldy sponge.
And we know leftists flock to the polls to vote for anyone with a "D" after their name.

Both. Either way it's a win in their minds. Hunt got in it because all the money dumped for Cornyn was becoming effective, he was coming up in the polls. Hunt helped pull voters away from Commie Cornyn.
Don't know what Ratshit's doing other than collecting campaign money. Maybe looking for an appointment.

From what I was reading, turnout for TN-07 here was about the same as 2024, 99%.
So, I figure what happened was the Dem lunatic base was all fired up to put the AWFL witch in and stick it to Orange Man Bad, and our voters were more "meh" and didn't show up as much.
That district is red enough that our underperformance vs their lunatic base overperformance didn't matter, and we still one by a little less than half the margin.

Just what the hell is it that Tucker Carlson wants? What is his vision for America? I don't think brown-shirt frat boys are going to catch on, and how does boosting the Democrats, even indirectly, bring us closer to a better society? Maybe it is all just grift, although I think he's going to be looking at some seriously diminishing returns before too long. But then I hear he's got plenty of family money, so is it really the financial part of the grift that makes his crazy world go 'round? Baffled in Brunswick County.

This gets old, if you have to make the fucking observation, fine- but do not just be a fucking Eeyore but offer some form of constructive advice or just shut your black pill bitch ass up.

So we beat the commie in TN by 9 points? That's pretty solid, but last election we won by 22.
Looking at recent past elections:
R v D
2025: 97K v 81K
2024: 192K v 123K
2022: 108K v 69K
So...the Ds continue to get the same or better numbers as they do in non-presidential national elections in these special elections. Which points a bright shining finger at fraud.
It does look like Trump's intervention did get us closer to normal off year turn out here, but the GOP has to figure out how to do this without Trump having to get personally involved.

My take is that he wants

- To show that he is "big" and successful in being Tucker
- To prove that he is not as stupid as he really is. He is a low-wit who wears a bow tie to look intellectual. He has always tried desperately to look smaaaart, and now he does that by being a contrarian to the Right, kind of off hand supporting the nazis and muzzies, and showing he is an "independent thinker."
His kind are very dangerous.

On November 24, 2025, Wilmington, Delaware, resident and University of Delaware student Luqmaan Khan, 25, was stopped by police during an after-hours property check in Canby Park West. Khan is a legal immigrant from Pakistan.
Court documents reveal that Khan was asked, and subsequently refused, to exit the vehicle. He was taken into custody and, during a search of his vehicle, officers found a .357 caliber Glock handgun loaded with 27 rounds.
The United States District Attorney’s Office, District of Delaware shares, “The handgun had been inserted into a microplastic conversion firearm brace kit. Within the vehicle, officers also found all the following: (i) three more loaded, 27-round magazines (one in the storage slot of the conversion kit); (ii) a loaded Glock 9mm magazine; (iii) an armored ballistic plate; and (iv) a marble composition notebook.”
“In the handwritten notebook, Khan discussed additional weapons and firearms, how they could be used in an attack, and how law enforcement detection could be avoided once an attack was carried out.

The GOP didn't seize control of the House until the 1994 mid-term elections. It took two years of Slick to make that happen. Reagan got shellacked in the 1982 midterms because the country was going through a painful economic recovery caused by the Carter single-term debacle. By 1984, it was Morning in America, baby.

People don’t understand why Republicans aren’t fixing the economic problems left to us by the Biden administration and they don’t understand why we can control the House, the Senate, and the White House and still not pass a simple CR. They don’t understand or don’t care about cloture.
Nuke the filibuster, and don’t give me excuses about the Dems using it to make things worse — they’re going to nuke it themselves as soon as they have the opportunity and the control; the “moderates” who kept them from doing it previously are GONE. Wake up and smell the extremists because they control the Democrat party now. The only winning move is to beat them to the punch.

MAGA likes to sit back and watch trump call women pigs, and throw a spoke every other day. His shit talk is all they care about.
He can't stand it when he's not the center of attention--even IF THAT MEANS THE LEFT IS HURTING THEMSELVES. When Pelosi was fighting with the squad, Trump told them to "go back to their country" thus unifying her with the squad. When Walz is caught up in Somali fraud issues, he calls him a retard and loses all the upper hand.
He's never going to let Vance get any traction. He'll call Leslie Stahl a "Cunt" three weeks before early voting and lose the entire female vote. We're cooked. The more this man gets to run his mouth, the greater the bloody losses.

Wednesday Morning Rant
Individually, I think "suicidal empathy" or "pathological empathy" are very real phenomena and there are countless people who would happily see the entirety of civilization fall to avoid being seen as unempathetic. These are the idiots who will happily ride the train directly over the cliff, celebrating the entire time. It is a huge problem, but it does not explain much of what we see. What we see from many people in power smacks of "suicidal empathy," but there is an obvious undercurrent of naked corruption beneath it.
The prime example from the recent news cycles is the looting of Minnesota by Somalis and the use of stolen Minnesota taxpayer dollars to finance Somali terrorism abroad. In a recent article that Ace covered, a number of state employees place the blame firmly on Governor Walz. In the article was a segment that I think is illustrative of the power elite manifestation of what could be described as "cynical empathy:"They allege agency leadership handpicked by Walz "willfully disregarded rules and laws to keep fraud reports quiet" and filled top posts with political allies who were "not qualified for their jobs." Staffers who witnessed or documented fraud were "shut down, reassigned and told to keep quiet," the statement said.(emphasis mine) Tienanmen Tim allegedly knew - or at least, people told him repeatedly - that these programs were being looted by Somalis who then used at least some of the money to finance terrorism abroad. He knew, but did nothing about it. The theft was consistent with his worldview and political objectives. Looting the taxpayers to hand money over to preferred minority groups in openly fraudulent schemes was just fine by him. When called on it, he brushed it off as merely "[erring] on the side of generosity." He justified his behavior with an empathy-based argument. But is this yet another example of "suicidal empathy?" I don't think so. Unlike the useful idiots who vote for people like Walz so as to be "good people," Tienanmen Tim doesn't believe a word of it. He isn't trying to be "generous." He isn't trying to be compassionate. He isn't exhibiting empathy. He is stealing and supporting his allies - who are, by definition, our enemies - by doing harm to the people of Minnesota. The "empathy" is just a cover. But it may, perhaps, be a distinction without a difference. Whether suicidal empathy or cynical empathy, the outcome would be the same.
...
Walz has pushed back on the criticism, telling The New York Times that his administration "erred on the side of generosity" during the pandemic and disputing claims that concerns about racial optics slowed the state's response.

The lefties I talk to support unlimited immigration because:
1) They want cheap labor
2) They want votes for leftwing pols
3) They want to "eliminate whiteness" and cause the great replacement
4) They get paid by the immigration/welfare complex
and on and on
They all have a personal reason and if your average Somali or Spherical Guatemalan was voting R and paying taxes these lefties would be demanding these people be sent home.
Remember the German refugee family that was sent home because the Fourth Reich won't allow home schooling? Hell, how about Elian G? Note...no "empathy" for them...

In essence, a Democrat protection racket where the careerist and leftist DoJ utilized the power of government to thwart the public finding out the true costs of indulging the left's chosen pets.
CBS story, "A group of civil rights organizations is seeking an order to prevent the closure of a Justice Department office dedicated to preventing unrest and violence in U.S. cities.
The groups are suing for a preliminary injunction to avert the closure of the Community Relations Service, which was launched in 1964 to avert rioting and racial strife in American communities.
The office has been known informally as "America's Peacemaker."
As CBS News reported in April, the Trump administration was planning to shutter the Community Relations Service. "

And if this is the true reason, I understand, but are we assigning that reason without understanding why? Probably not in all cases, there are legit brainwashed people out there who are withholding this information. But there are others who will go for the jugular and start calling the victim racist because they labeled the person black, as an example. It happens in the streets, in the news and in courtrooms. We shouldn’t lose sight of this, nor should we lose sight of the magnitude of trauma involved in rape and its effect on a response to the event. Those who throw being raped around as a descriptor of an event that is merely hard diminishes the trauma greatly, and I don’t wish it on anyone. And I mean anyone.

"I saw him. I looked into his eyes. I viewed the openness of his soul through those black and whites, perceiving no other color. Into that I saw an emptiness. Of purpose, of intent, of intelligence. He was perfection exemplified. The void into which I had been seeking answers for my whole life, from the time I first considered eternity. In this man was pure absence, and it both terrified and exhilarated me. I knew he was to die at the hands of his masters, perhaps fed to feral hogs or shot in the back of the head, left to rot in a Chinese forest, but for that moment, I understood."
-Werner Herzog

And if this is the true reason, I understand, but are we assigning that reason without understanding why? Probably not in all cases, there are legit brainwashed people out there who are withholding this information. But there are others who will go for the jugular and start calling the victim racist because they labeled the person black, as an example. It happens in the streets, in the news and in courtrooms. We shouldn’t lose sight of this, nor should we lose sight of the magnitude of trauma involved in rape and its effect on a response to the event. Those who throw being raped around as a descriptor of an event that is merely hard diminishes the trauma greatly, and I don’t wish it on anyone. And I mean anyone.

And if the victim gets it wrong - it's dark, perp is in black clothes, painted his face vs being that face, just assumed black, etc and it's not a black, her life is over...forever...in all ways...so her positivity has to be 1 million percent..

HOLEE SHIZZLES‼️
Starting next week, 21 Democrat-controlled states will lose federal SNAP funding for refusing to comply with USDA anti-fraud data requirements.
- in the states that did comply, they found 186,000 dead people social security numbers being used
- 500,000 people that received benefits more than twice
- multiple people received benefits in 6 states
- In February, for the first time ever, the Federal Government asked for alls rates to turn over their data to root out the fraud.
—— 29 Red states said yes
—— 21 Blue states said no
“So as of next week, we have begun and will begin to stop moving federal funds into those states until they comply.
California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Washington

Re-evaluation of long standing beliefs is extremely difficult. Admitting you were wrong about something is just a bridge too far sometimes. What I’ve noticed is my leftist friends and co-workers grew old but they never grew up. They are in a seemingly permanent state of adolescence in terms of snark and maturity.
There is another strain of revolutionary mindset, that Horowitz talks about. They don’t care about being hypocritical, and with many, intentions matter, not results. So they are willing to ignore anything that doesn’t comport with how they wish things to be, rather than the reality. Your death before their dishonor, they will not ever admit their philosophy is bankrupt, immoral, or unworkable. Indeed they will double down. The seeds of their destruction is already preordained in that sense, the problem as always is the collateral damage to everyone elee.
The 20th century alone witnessed maybe 100 million murdered by their governments, experimental totalitarians.

It's been my observation that con men and fraudsters always take advantage of do-gooders, as I use to call them. Some do-gooders want to throw a bunch of money to help some poor people or some bad situation, and the fraudsters line up to help, and of course skim off the top big time.
This toxic empathy thing is the same thing, but it's much worse than mere do-goodery. It's well beyond that. And the fraudsters come right in with that as well, and they are even worse. Rather than just stealing from the taxpayers, their fraud becomes even more destructive as well, such as funding terrorists.

Carol Gilligan would regard both being cast as hetero normative and put on the show to be subject to the male gaze.
Instead, someone like Trigglepuff and that female? lecturer (in a sky cap and yelling in a pix) at Univ. of Missouri during BLM protests should have been cast.
No odious male satisfaction would occur but body positivity exhibited by Trigglepuff along with gender fluidity and the obvious female empowerment by the lecturer constantly yelling at the patriachy and reeducating the males on the island to accept gender fluidity could be shown instead. This is what entertainment should be like under Carol Gilligan (and somewhat how Kathleen Kennedy probably feels as well).

Pretty much except sometimes Scotus gets involved if the appellate court discards the law and sides with the lower court.
The Golden Rule applies on matters like food stamps where the Feds are paying all of it. He who has the gold, makes the rules for those wanting a piece of it. The states have to follow what the federal government wants in such matters. There is no 10th Amendment carve out for taking fedbucks and then ignoring what the feds want in return.
See South Dakota v Dole about the spending clause strings that fedgov can put on states receiving the aid. In that particular case, it was the requirement that states raise their speed limit which is much more intrusive than asking for information about how fed money is spent.
Legally, the lower courts literally have no ground to stand on except Orange Man Bad in this matter.

Unlike what some people seem to want, you can't arrest and indict people on media stories--it requires evidence that will stand up in court and often a hostile jury and judge in deep blue shitholes.

Anyway, for you rockers, King's X has a great song called "Talk To You" that I believe is perhaps about songwriting, but also prayer. During that period, they tended to infuse Christianity into their songs.
Posted by: Bad Andrew at December 03, 2025 11:51 AM (6qf1m)
Yeah, they all started out in the CCM ghetto as session/touring musicians, plus did a Indy release as Sneak Preview a few years before rebranding as King’s X. Their first four releases are very good, especially Gretchen Goes To Nebraska, then they went off the reservation —they are all apostate now, with Doug (I refuse to use his stage name) coming out as homosexual. Such a waste. I hope and pray they all repent and return to Him.

There was a clip of some awfl asking Nigel Farage why he thinks mass immigration for Britain was a bad thing, she asked this in a manner of sneering condescension, because she thinks it's great and the only reason you would be against it is a bigot.
He listed out the reasons it was deleterious and she had this complete look of shock as she clearly had not even thought about any negative consequences in the least.
Because in here mind, if you have the right opinions then there can be no downstream negative consequences.

Guy's in a restaurant, looking at the menu. His waitress, a hot looking blonde comes up and asks for his order. He looks her up and down, and says, "I'd like a quickie!". The waitress walks off in a huff. A few minutes later, she comes back, he looks her up and down and once again says, "I'd like a quickie!". Even more upset, the waitress walks away again. The third time this happens, the waitress slaps the man across the face and walks off, quite peeved. A man nearby, seeing all this, tells the man, "I think it's pronounced Quiche."

Because as Aristotle put it, you fight rhetoric with rhetoric, not dialectic which is a traditional conservative tactic. The argument by Democrats traditionally is solely at the level of feelings, not logic.
So you reply with something like lazy freeloaders, parasites on working people, welfare queens, or lazy cheaters. That is how rhetoric works. Instead, conservatives debate using a long didatic dialectical discussion of how long term receipt of benefits actually undermines positive development of recipients into people working in the community.
Rhetoric is purposefully designed to win debate fights for demagogues but the advantage of good rhetoric based in facts is that it persuades more people than bad rhetoric based solely on feels and unicorn sparkly farts.

Gretchen Goes To Nebraska is woefully underrated, especially since Ty Tabor got one of the greatest rock guitar tones ever produced on those first 4 albums (using a weirdo Fender Elite Strat and a solid-state Lab Series L5 amp). The decline started when he changed over to generic Mesa-Boogies on Dogman.
As for Doug Pinnick, great voice, good bassist and I couldn't have cared less about him being gay. Then he started singing about being gay and calling his own audience bigots. Douchebag.
I still have Gretchen on my shortlist of desert island albums.

And then they also have major emotional freakouts like this Aftyn B. from Nashville, and Nashville voted 77% for her! The emotionalism is like a drug.
They appeal to women this way through emotion. That's why so many women vote Dem.

Women have been depliating since Egyptian times. But you inspired a thought - I was reading a bio of the Everleigh sisters, who owned the most luxurious brothel in Chicago at the turn of the century. Their women were plucked for aesthetic reasons, as the Everleighs knew that they could offer what their customers couldn't get at home - "a clean woman."
Is the lack of pubic hair here a subtle suggestion that the ladies here are sisters of the night?

American Heritage® Dictionary
adjective
Having a full, shapely figure. Used of a woman.
Merriam-Webster or less commonly zoftig
of a woman
: having a full rounded figure : pleasingly plump
Cambridge Dictionary
(of a woman) having large breasts and hips and not thin, but in a way that is attractive :
Marilyn Monroe was sometimes called full-figured or zaftig.
Zaftig Has Yiddish Origins
Zaftig has been in use in English—mainly in the United States—since the 1920s; a couple of the earliest known uses are found in Variety magazine, in reviews of burlesque dancers. The word comes from the Yiddish zaftik, meaning "juicy" or "succulent," which in turn comes from zaft, meaning "juice" or "sap."

Shriveled Penis Head (D-AZ) stuck his head in a meat grinder as an Deep State op and is now the focus of ridicule for his and his colleagues' idiotic public plea inciting sedition in the ranks of the Armed Forces.
This is exactly the sort of tale told by idiots promoted by someone like our Deep State IC community and is an example of their malicious incompetence at even handling a fake and gay info op.
Apparently the speech was to lay groundwork for the fake WaPo story about how the US was killing poor surviving narco terrorists on purpose which would cause international unrest and allow Dems to put Hegseth and Trump on the defensive.
I suspect much rubbing of hands by people like Collins, Murcow, McConnell, or Mike Turner in the House exhibiting the glee of Uniparty type GOP members who were probably just waiting to try to force Hegseth out of office and damage Trump.

Not so sure about that. Being held up as a product of ridicule as a malicious and stupid penis head is probably going to crimp his future career as a pol. The drip drip drip of investigations has also uncovered his tango with the Chicoms making spy balloons which mail in ballots somehow failed to understand when being cast by ballot harvesters in AZ. Would not be surprised, that Kelly, like Gallegos, are both in the pockets of the Mexican drug cartels as well.
The truth is, if you are going to put yourself out in the public glare, you best be as pure as Caesar's wife because all the corruption that Congress critters routinely engage in, gets highlighted in an era where almost no one really likes their politicians anymore.

couple things ..
first off it was a good win. the Ds put a LOT into that special, it was a massive focus for them (their sole focus, really).
second the R guy was kinda bland, but that's ok
third, Blackburn won her race there by 1 point. so he won by 9ish, estimates were 10, he did well.
fourth, recent R-directed redistricting to increase R reps in TN watered down the "Trump Plus Eleventy!" aspect of the district.
overall, we should be happy about this and good for TN. it does show the downside of redistricting, you can dilute your strongholds a bit. some say CA might fall into this trap, who knows.

After the Signal controversy, it should be obvious to everyone that the administration isn't going to allow any outside attacks to land on the highest levels. Yeah, they got a mid-level scalp (whose assistant was probably responsible), but Warren wasn't out calling for Hegseth's resignation to get a guy below him.
I expect some of the lowest levels of turnover in cabinet level positions from this administration.

The Republican won by the anticipated amount. Everyone who was gonna vote for a Dem voted for her but there were more against. All the polling, the stories, the op-eds, the screeching... all of that was designed to make voters believe that she was gonna win so they wouldn't vote. It's emotional manipulation - which is about 99% of modern politics.

shining a light on this - no the white hat military won't leak, they are on to big stuff, so good that they aren't clarifying - but overall shining a light on this only helps the good guys. normies aren't pro drug dealers and cartel killers.

Media bullshit including those Conservative TM sources on the right. Cook had the district at +10 GOP, Van Epps won by 9. Even turnout was about identical to 2022 when the incumbent Green ran in newish district winning by an outmatched black female in money and general dislike of the Biden WH while the GOP rode a mini Red wave into control of the House.
The massive spending resulted in Dems banking early votes and the typical GOP dawdling to wait for election day voting trend that has become evident. Trump's team, in his overperformance, made a massive switch to embracing early voting in 2024 instead of the wait for election day.
In part, that is because the GOP can no longer rely on busy folks with jobs waiting to vote and being stiffed in places where suddenly ballots run out or the machines jam like in AZ 2022 or in PA for the state Supreme Court retention races.

You can thank Republican led gerrymandering that leads to "cracking" of neighborhoods based on their political leaning (and skin color). Independent Redistricting Commissions are the way forward to give the people an equal voice in the elections...
Meanwhile, from the DNC…crickets in terms of support. I am still baffled by why they are not running media ads hammering every lie Trump is telling.
her campaign was mid when it came to attacking Trump. Instead, the campaign focused on affordability, and then late in the game, the Epstein files, when voters wanted someone to FIGHT Trump.
Seriously, she would have won if she wasn't such a weirdo. Dems need to nominate someone who, at the bare minimum, doesn't go out trashing the community she wants to represent.
Trump and the big money did not win this! Peoples meanness did. corruption, pedophilia, killing people in boats, teargassing one year-old s kidnapping people is what MAGA wants.

And Scotus is pondering a case that may ban votes received after Election Day. Don't think it has come up in oral arguments yet but the given the plain language of the Constitution, I think states allowing mail in ballots after Election Day may be struck down.

Trump overperforms on ballots plus he is in a general election. Van Epps ran within one point of the overall partisan makeup of the district, the so called normal vote, Cooks Political Report, no fan of the GOP, has the district as GOP +10. Cooks has been doing this for years. Van Epps got the generic GOP vote in a district where he was probably outspent and had much less fawning free media coverage than his idiotic opponent.

California, in particular, accepts mail in ballots postmarked or with no post mark received after Election Day. PA Sup. Ct. has done similar crap eviscerating laws designed to prevent fraud and did so in 2020 despite Alito's demand on holding off counting such ballots. And I also have seen locally where blue precincts ignore all the requirements for ballot processing including postmarks, spoilage, and so on.
I would not be surprised to see Alito writing the decision banning the practice.

Benvenuto Tisi (Garofalo)
Painted about 1535-45, probably a Court commission
"When the National Gallery purchased the picture as part of a larger collection in 1860, the director was concerned about the reception of such an erotic painting in a public collection. He sent it to the National Gallery of Scotland, presumably thinking there was a smaller public in Edinburgh and less likelihood of moral outrage reaching the national press. It remained in Edinburgh until 1932."
Nice landscape at the rear but I otherwise he dragged out the painting of today's art selection for way too many years. (The lizard is a cute, colorful touch like a mini reminder of Adam, Eve and the Garden of Eden.)

Special elections are more about party organization and do have minor candidate and times effects. Behn was a bad candidate who was probably helped by the fact that the GOP media hits came late after she had banked a large vote share already in early voting. Timing of oppo hits is very different nowadays due to that fact. Needless to say, Democrats are going to go all out in 2026 for hitting Trump and the GOP on affordability--groceries, health care, etc.
The GOP relied on its negative ads in a very generic campaign and counted on the overall partisan makeup of the district for it to work. From what I have gleaned, the local and state GOP did their typical and stupid flyers, robocalls, endorsement, etc until the national GOP swooped in. The fact that snow occurred on Monday rather than Tuesday in TN probably avoided a closer race.
Basically, the state and local GOP do not really want to mobilize working class voters because they are not predictable and might vote populist on ballot issues and split tickets rather than what GOP Inc wants. Plus, GOTV brings in a much lower percentage than mailers, ads, etc

Outsider candidates are kept out by running the splitter strategy, denial and slow walking any party campaign resources, leaks to the press to undermine candidacies, and so on. All in all, it promotes mediocrity, less voter (and party) engagement, and generic candidates.

I'm not sure about the strip cause I loved reading it in the 90s. Although they did do a lot of reruns towards the end. I will say those lesser known specials were not good.

This goes back to whomever is vetting people like Driscoll. Typically a name is floated, then vetted if there's interest. This person wasn't hired by Trump in person. He was "proffered" by someone else who basically vouched for them.
The people doing the vetting and vouching are at odds with Trump and his administration.
This was (and apparently still is) a real issue with Trump's administration. He's either blind to it, or whoever's responsible for the vetting of appointees is playing for the other side.

Bondi is there in part because previous AGs have let DoJ pros run amuck creating fake investigations of Trump and his colleagues.
AGs follow two patterns, crony and self serving outsider backstabbing bastards out to burnish their own reps for fame and/or money. Nixon is an example that was done in when he moved crony Mitchell from AG to oversee his reelection. That meant you get the Saturday Night massacre when a normal crony AG would know not to appoint an asshole Kennedy associate as special prosecutor in the first place. But Nixon had to work with who the Dem Senate would allow him to have as AG in the second term.
Clinton picked Reno after his crony attempts got shot down including the departure of DoJ asst AG Webb Hubbell and Reno messed up Clinton along with the independent counsel law.
Carter got messed up by his own AGs Civiletti and Bell. And so on.
Obama picked a corrupt Eric Holder on purpose and later Loretta Lynch because neither of them wanted higher office or rep, they wanted to cash in.

For years, the Biden Administration weaponized the Justice System against their Political Opponents, and anyone who disagreed with them. One of the clearest examples of this was when Crooked Joe used the FBI and DOJ to “take out” a member of his own Party after Highly Respected Congressman Henry Cuellar bravely spoke out against Open Borders, and the Biden Border “Catastrophe.” Sleepy Joe went after the Congressman, and even the Congressman’s wonderful wife, Imelda, simply for speaking the TRUTH. It is unAmerican and, as I previously stated, the Radical Left Democrats are a complete and total threat to Democracy! They will attack, rob, lie, cheat, destroy, and decimate anyone who dares to oppose their Far Left Agenda, an Agenda that, if left unchecked, will obliterate our magnificent Country. Because of these facts, and others, I am hereby announcing my full and unconditional PARDON of beloved Texas Congressman Henry Cuellar, and Imelda. Henry, I don’t know you, but you can sleep well tonight — Your nightmare is finally over!

You actually have it backwards. What the administration does is float a couple of names to the Senate after ensuring no criminal records, etc. and the Senators over that particular committee, in this case Armed Services, point to acceptable candidates. In part, this is because the Sec of Army as a civilian has power over DoW or DoD contracting for that service and usually senators specialize in grifting relationships between the defense industry and a particular nominee. That is why Trump went with a former Boeing Exec POS (Esper) as DoD Secretary after his first one, Mattis, ignored orders, etc. on the behest of the Deep State. These are who he could get through Senate Armed Services Cmte at the time.
As always, follow the money and past relationships with Senators on a cmte and figure out what their donors want.

The Morning Report — 12/3/25
Good morning kids. Starting off on a positive note, congratulations to Matt Van Epps for winning the TN special election for the state's 7th District, and to the voters who prevented a truly twisted hardcore Leftist, this Aftyn Behn maniac from heading to Congress. Considering the redistricting meshugas in California, we can ill afford to lose any seats that might hand the House back to the Dems as we head towards the midterms, and the second half of Trump 2.0, and of course nationally in 2028.
Moving on, in yesterday's editorial, I questioned why President Trump from time to time throws all kinds of red meat with the blood still dripping from it out there. In that instance it was his contention that the truly horrid Ilhan "BRO-FO" Omar should be stripped of her citizenship and repatriated back to the gaping bedsore of a nation known as Somalia from whence she oozed. No need to rehash my thoughts on this, as I agree with him on this for sure. (reminder not to comment on old threads to avoid accidental banning) And once again, he threw something out there that definitely caused a reaction, intentional on his part or not:Somali migrants should go home to fix up their own country, President Donald Trump told his cabinet meeting on Tuesday. “They come from hell and they complain and do nothing but bitch” about Americans and America, he said, adding: “We don’t want them in our country. Let them go back to where they came from and fix it.” . . .“I don’t want them in our country,” Trump told his cabinet meeting, adding: Their country is no good for a reason. Their country stinks … I can say it about other countries too. We got to, we have to rebuild our country … [Rep.] Ilhan Omar [D-MN] is garbage. She’s garbage. Her friends are garbage. These aren’t people that work. These aren’t people that say, “Let’s go, come on, let’s make this place [Somalia] great.” These are people that do nothing but complain.Again, I cannot disagree with what the President is saying. But the issue he is skirting around is WHY? What is the reason Somalia stinks? ISLAM, and its Dark Age culture of death and subjugation of those who refuse to submit (which is what Islam mans in English FYI) to it. Mr. President, Bro-Fo Omar did not come here to escape Hell, she and her ilk came here to unleash it on us and transform America and everywhere else they emigrate into Hell. If you want to throw out red meat, well what I just said is an abattoir primed and ready for you to go to town. Could you not see the smoldering ruins of the World Trade Center from the top of Trump Tower? Did you not watch in abject horror what happened at the Munich Olympics in 1972, the Marine Barracks in Beirut 11 years later, and on and on and on. But that said, there are indeed good and decent people who are desperate to escape the hell of places like Somalia. The estimable and noble Ayaan Hirsi Ali to name but one. The issue was and always has been the proper vetting of people who seek American citizenship and once here the monitoring of them to ensure they become assimilated to the fullest extent possible so as whatever cultural proclivities from their societies of origin cannot ever pose any kind of threat to American society. Good luck with that, considering there is a very large segment of our own native born citizenry that views this nation as founded as racist and illegitimate in the first place and have been feverishly working to destroy it and seize absolute power to remake it into some other nightmarish hellscape of their own liking. The importation of anti-American, anti-Western ideologies and those who mean us harm in the acquisition of absolute power and control was and is a major weapon in the Leftist arsenal. As for Islam, all you have to do is peruse the links I have aggregated today alone in that section, not to mention every weekday for nine years now. Be that as it may, arguably the greater threat to the American experiment and our society as we approach our 250th birthday are the native born miscreants and power-mad narcissists with delusions of "Ubermenscheit" who continue to rot at the vitals of our nation. It's one thing to give Bro-Fo the boot, but how do we neutralize the Newsoms, Pelosis, Randi Weingartens, Ibram X. Krements, Al Sharptons, and all the others like them in our midst? Okay, I'm done. Have a good day. And lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

Maybe so, but that isn’t really the issue. Mass migration is a deliberate strategy intended to overwhelm our constitution, and destroy nation states, no? Did anyone vote on that, in our “precious democracy”? If, for just one example, robots and AI are going to put millions of Americans out of work, why would they be importing millions of low skilled and/or illiterates from overseas?
There are no benign answers to any of the questions (that aren’t even being asked) by our betters whether in the “press” or government.

"Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Monday delivered one of the strongest border-security demands yet of the Trump administration's second term, urging President Trump to enact a sweeping travel ban on "every damn country" sending violent offenders into the United States. Noem revealed the recommendation in a blistering post on X shortly after meeting with the president, saying the nation can no longer accept foreign nationals who, in her words, are "flooding our nation with killers, leeches, and entitlement junkies."

It’s not, and islam is not compatible with the American constitution, culture or societal mores. Its is a “religion” that’s demonstrably made up whole cloth. Its tenets are fundamentally incompatible with individual liberty and a democratic society. It’s authoritarian in its aims, and the individuals it is built upon are easily proven as not only heretical, but evil people with no redeeming qualities. Its claims cannot be proven in any degree that Judaism or Christianity can be, in fact historical inquiries find their main claims demonstrably false. That’s why its main goal is conquest and subversion of a society.

This is another elephant in the room - and it's one I have no clue on, namely, what drives people (mostly women) to do this sort of thing? I know a couple of women who will tear apart their families over stray cats (and dogs). It's maniacal. I don't get it at all...
But that "thing" now affects the body politic.

One Minnesota jury brought a guilty verdict to some skinny that stole $7 MM. The judge (an AWFL that looks about 12 years old) simply dismissed the case. AFTER the verdict. Another group tried to buy a juror in another trial with $200,000 in a trash bag. Wow.

AWFL's like Welch are everywhere. In my community I know several, though admittedly they don't sound as strident. But just because they sound milder, maybe because they aren't on a podcast, the words shouldn't be misconstrued: they hate America, hate Trump's vision of America especially, and want radical change emphasizing "empathy".
It's amazing anyone could be so stupid, much less a huge swath of the voting public.

I think a lot of people saw "Nashville" and thought it would be a walkover, because Nashville.
But the upper South is not like Colorado or many Western states, at least not yet, and it'll take awhile to get there.
In some states, *one* big blue city can swing the entire state, let alone some piddly district - so, for instance, in Colorado, every county outside the front range corridor is blood red - it doesn't matter one whit.
The same is true in places like Nashville or Memphis or Knoxville - a cobalt blue city in a sea of red - but there, the population is much more evenly distributed around the State. It's much better suited to resist Marxist takeovers. Knoxville couldn't even swing *its own county* in the last couple elections.

Several years ago, on one of their cruises, Viking offered a stop in Vienna where you could be taught to waltz in the same dancing school the Austrian nobility still send their sons and daughers. I once dreamed of going to the Vienna Opera Ball and dancing with a princess. But like most of my dreams, it will never happen.

I laughed… I’m still scratching my head on that kick “attempt” (not sure what to call it… if that was a 9-iron shot, he had a big time chunk, took a 3 foot long divot of turf and the ball never moved). I read the kicker’s explanation he said the ball moved… but when you watch the replay it did not move… so it shall remain a complete mystery why a pro kicker missed the ball altogether and instead kicked the turf….

Germany's industrial output fell over four percent just in August of this year, and 150,000 manufacturing jobs were lost. Not to worry, they added 60,0000 government overseer jobs to make up for it.

a 5-6% R win in this district is unfamiliar to them. It was 20%+ GOP in 2024. As expected there was a serious shift in voter preference. And this district doesn't care if Trump is on the ballot. They were firmly 20 points + in 2022 and Trump wasn't on the ballot then either.
Poll numbers were off again. So tired of this. A generic moderate Dem probably wins this seat, but the primary voters will never learn what you need to do in these red distr
How can R voters see the last year play out and say to themselves "the country is in such a good state that I will continue to vote for the same thing"
The absolute cope here. She lost by almost 10 points. The Democrats threw EVERYTHING at this race. Kamala attended a Nov 18th Nashville rally, the head of the DNC came down to campaign, AOC appeared at a rally via Zoom, David Hogg and Jasmine Crockett made appearances….and you still got your ass kicked, lol.

UPDATE: Scott Jennings says Democrats are about to DOUBLE DOWN on Aftyn Behn (D)'s radical leftist campaign in the 2026 midterms
"They're gonna look at these results and say, hey, this is how we got so close, let's replicate it around the country. We'll hear from her and her kind for the next year, and I don't think it'll be good for the Democrats!"
"Her brand of politics are the MEDIAN Democrat! Defund the police, radical progressive positions...this is what the Democratic base wants."

People still need to realize that every election matters. There were still a lot of people that didn't turn out.
Comparing off year turnout to presidential year turnout is a mistake. It's a different dynamic that always produces a different turnout model.
Special elections are sort of their own thing but a much better comparison is with other off years elections where you get mostly people focused on local issues is a much better indicator and yesterday's election in TN is right in line with other off year electionsin TN.

I laughed… I’m still scratching my head on that kick “attempt” (not sure what to call it… if that was a 9-iron shot, he had a big time chunk, took a 3 foot long divot of turf and the ball never moved). I read the kicker’s explanation he said the ball moved… but when you watch the replay it did not move… so it shall remain a complete mystery why a pro kicker missed the ball altogether and instead kicked the turf….

States used to have a system very much like the Electoral College, to prevent large cities from dominating the rest of the state in the legislature. The Supreme Court said they can’t do that. And here we are.
They had the flash 60 years ago. Now we get the “bang”, and most people don’t even know why.
Senators, the Senate, were not just super-duper House members. It was very specifically not intended to be “democratic”, that was the whole point.
No system of government can probably withstand “democracy”, which is rather the point.

Iyer seemingly attempted to skirt the senior justice’s question. He began by saying that they “certainly had complaints about crisis pregnancy centers,” but was cut off by Thomas, who more specifically asked about “this crisis pregnancy center.”
In a stunning admission, Iyer acknowledged that the New Jersey AG’s office hasn’t “had complaints about this specific [center],” claiming he “thinks” this was made “clear from the outset.” The answer prompted Thomas to interject and ask, “So, you had no basis to think that [First Choice was] deceiving any of their contributors?”

They are the low-propensity, unaffiliated (unofficially, TN doesn't have party registration) voters that Trump probably brought into the Republican coalition but will probably only vote for him or in presidential elections.
It's a representative data point that the electorate hasn't really changed that much in the last 13 months.
But, these special and off year elections are all unicorns that don't have predictive power for future elections. Neither this nor than VA/NJ races will mean anything in 11 months.

The US's nation-building experiments of the past 35 years both failed and boomeranged. They failed in their stated objective, overseas. Then the dweebs in the White House and State Department ran humanitarian ops to get out as many non-enemy people (vetted!) as possible. Those refugees set about nation-building their own mini-nations within the US. Those burgeoning enclaves have become as corrupt, violent, theological, sexist, and racist as the refugees' home nations.

A friend of mine with prostate cancer gets periodic estrogen injections, to reduce his tumor size, and one really nasty side effect has been menopause-like night sweats. He says, "women have it rough".

Trump is an exceptional national candidate. Despite the left, and maybe sometimes because, throwing everything they had and then some at him he won a massive victory also taking every swing state. It was a dominant performance.
We definitely have to use this race to build for next fall but I don't think judging the results of a first time unknown candidate in an off year House race against the environment when Trump was running against Harris all that relevant.

The laws of stateless vessels.
The laws of a country extend 12 miles out from its shores. All vessels within that limit are subject to that country’s jurisdiction. Beyond that limit all vessels must fly the flag under whose jurisdiction they are sailing. Someone committing a crime in international waters is subject to the laws of the country under whose flag he is sailing. In addition, that country is responsible for the actions of a vessel flying its flag.
These boats are not flying Venezuela’s flag, and thus Venezuela is not legally responsible for them. They’re not flying *any* flag — so no country is responsible for their actions, but they don’t receive the protections of any country either. They are stateless vessels and, under the law, essentially pirates.

The acknowledgement that our religious texts are, even if divinely inspired, are written my mortal men, makes it possible for us to "explain away" those passages.
Islam has no such safety valve. When the Koran tells its followers to kill the unbeliever, its followers have no alternative, since it is the actual, unfiltered WORD OF GOD.
Without a reform movement within Islam, we have to recognise, as do the Muslim - even though they won't admit it publicly - that we are in an existential battle.
Then comes the the real battle. How do we conduct an existential battle in a humanitarian way?

I have a different take.
We don't need more laws. We need enforcement of existing laws. And Congress can't really help there.
Trump's deregulatory effort (now 48-1 deregulations vs. new regulations) is going to do more to advance American liberty than anything Congress could ever come up with.
That, plus Trump's aggressive (and wholly legal within existing law) immigration push is what we need right now, not more omnibuses that have a slight sliver dedicated to ending the Department of Education.

Democrats have structural advantages in off-year elections right now. Their coalition is simply more engaged and willing to come out in December of an odd year.
It's what creates the turnout differentials right now.
However, the midterms will see far lower differentials, so if they take the lesson that VA means they can have crazy CIA ladies leading in every race, they'll realize that VA was actually...not predictive of the midterm electorate.
More Republicans will engage in 2026 than in 2025, and all the dreams of winning 80 new House seats will go from "This is definitely happening" to "We never predicted that, you're making it up," real fast.

Oh, please. I don't want any more white foreigners either. Ukes or Germans, whatever, I don't care. And any who are here on work visas can go, too.
And while I didn't know Vance was born here, she's obviously a citizen, so there's nothing to be done there.
But just because we've allowed immigration in the past doesn't mean we need to keep making the same mistake forever.
I would like a full, open-ended moratorium on everyone, and repatriation wherever possible. We should also ban dual citizenship for our own people who want it. Pick a country. Preferably whichever other one they love enough to apply for a passport from.
All of this has gone much too far.

What you are seeing in Van Epps-Behn race is a) he was not an incumbent, b) turnout actually was nearly identical to 2022 midterm and exceeded it slightly when all the votes are counted, c) Behn outspent Van Epps probably about 2:1 which was mainly for banking early D votes.
Van Epps won by about 9 percent in a district where Cooks Political Report (long time rater of districts going back decades) has the district at +10 GOP.

Yep. And the vetting process needs to start with "do you follow Islam"? If they answer yes, then they are rejected. Period.

Reading for almost 2 hours, and I'm still not through all of the Morning Report's links. As always, it's an excellent, eye opening report.
I understand the following is left leaning. progressive and advocating for certain "rights," but it makes me Q if there's anything the Biden administration "accomplished" that isn't a ticking time clock specifically against PDT & US democracy and diplomacy.
>Center for Constitutional Rights, Afghans Evacuated by U.S. Held or Arbitrarily Detained in 36 Countries; Biden Admin Allows Mistreatment, New Documents Show, Jan. '25
Enclosed is a Briefing Guide about U. S. Government-Facilitated "Lily Pad" Sites aboard holding Afghan civilians awaiting entry into the United States.
Parts of specific agreements are cited. One bullet point reads:
"Further, each agreement between the United States and the named host country we received confirmed the involvement of high-level federal officials in coordinating and overseeing these holding facilities and the treatment of Afghans. Many of these officials - such as Antony Blinken - are featured as the signatories on agreements
Posted by: L - No nic, another fine day at December 03, 2025 10:09 AM (NFX2v)
A section of the Brief, "Factual Circumstances Surrounding Sites" also touches on the mental health and physical health crises being reported as a result of their "prolonged, arbitrary detention," and fears of persecutions.
Yes, there's some BS in the article and brief. But, again, it brings to light something more for the Trump administration to address on its long list of seriously broken 'stuff' thanks to the seemingly devious & intentional political scheming of the Slow Joe administration and its public and private partners.

Top Story
- AMD is reportedly planning price hikes to its graphics cards to cover soaring memory costs: An extra $20 for 8GB models and $40 for 16GB models. (Tom's Hardware)
Which is not all that bad.
- AMD has also - reportedly - increased prices for its CPUs, which don't contain any DRAM. (Overclock3D)
To add to the mystery, while this increase is supposed to have already happened, nobody seems to know which models are affected or what the increases are. Indeed, the whole thing might just be the end of Black Friday discounts at the distributor level.
Tech News
- The Trump administration is planning to take a $150 million equity stake in startup xLight, which aims to make better EUV lasers for chip production. (WSJ) (archive site)
Current EUV fab equipment uses 13.5nm lasers. xLight is planning to bring that down to just 2nm, which is pretty inarguably an x-ray more than UV light.
This takes money from the 2022 CHIPS Act, which apparently still has $6 billion available to spend on chip fabrication facilities.
- San Francisco is suing ten food companies for producing food. (NBC)
"How very dare you?!", squeaked city attorney David Chiu.
- Bending Spoons is buying Eventbrite for $500 million. (Tech Crunch)
Bending Spoons is assembling quite the collection of has-been companies here, including Evernote, Meetup, Vimeo, and AOL, which you may have heard of.
- Apple has said that it won't pre-install India's mandatory spyware on its phones. (Reuters)

My goal was to simply give a layman's definition of UPF.
As long as ingredients are legal, it's a manufacturer's right to sell what they want.
However, RFKJ's trend of replacing known unhealthy additives with more benign alternatives is a good thing.
Public awareness is a good thing.

But a lot of the people who voted for her didn't know a single thing about her or her preferred policies. We see this every single election when they interview people on street and ask them what they like about candidate X. All they know is that she was the Democrat.
That's why their party becomes more extreme. People who vote Democrat, vote Democrat without consideration. It's reflex.

Probably from twitter. It's good that people can get information but people tend to cement whatever they first hear about an issue in their minds so it also makes it easier to control them.
It's why the left always floods the airwaves with their preferred narrative immediately. They know that a significant fraction of the population will never move off that narrative even if presented with multiple videos of the event, thousands of witnesses, and a signed confession.

George Will is, and has always been, an elitist. He believes in the magic of credentials. He accept that our American Nobility is smarter than the hoi polloi and will always act from a foundation of noblesse oblige.
He was conservative because the Democrats appealed to the masses. They still do but he understands that their position is false. Trump is the populist now and Will loathes populism almost as much as jeans.

It will hang low, look huge, and glow brighter than usual. Snap a pic, enjoy the show, and remember you will be twenty years older when this returns.

Which One of You Lost Your Pet Raccoon? (H/T to our 'ette friend Vendette) Raccoon gets drunk at Virginia ABC store, passes out in bathroom
An officer from Hanover County Animal Protection and Shelter responded to the store Saturday morning for a report of an unusual break-in. When Officer Martin arrived, she found shelves ransacked and bottles broken on the ground. The “suspect” was discovered passed out on the floor of the bathroom, and was identified as an intoxicated raccoon, according to the shelter. Other animal storiesWhat would be a good name for this raccoon? Upgraded membership to the best answer!

Martin safely captured and transported the animal to the shelter, and the raccoon was given several hours to “sober up before questioning,” the shelter joked in a post on social media.
A man died after choking during a competitive eating contest where he consumed numerous live cockroaches, with a python as the grand prize. Edward Archbold, 32, from West Palm Beach, Florida, suffered fatal asphyxiation when cockroach fragments obstructed his airway during the 2012 competition. He fell unconscious and started vomiting moments after taking part in the "Midnight Madness" marketing event at the Ben Siegel Reptile Store in Deerfield Beach, Florida, reports Mirror UK.Multiple news stories have recently been posted about this, even though it happened in 2012. Not sure why this is news now, but here we are!
Chronic constipation becomes more common with age. Researchers from Mass General Brigham conducted a new study examining whether five widely followed diets could help prevent chronic constipation in middle- and older-age adults. The team monitored more than 96,000 participants for several years to see how long-term eating habits influenced the likelihood of developing this persistent gastrointestinal issue. Their analysis showed that people who routinely ate a Mediterranean or plant-based diet experienced a lower incidence of constipation.Read the whole thing. Maybe it'll be helpful for you?
The iconic white mansion overlooking Hyannis Harbor, visible to ferry riders traveling to the islands and located next to the Kennedy Compound, has hit the market with a $21.5 million price tag — the highest active listing on Cape Cod. The 13-bedroom, 12-bath estate on 3 acres includes a main house and a guesthouse at 151 and 155 Irving Ave., with a private beach and landscaping designed by the Olmsted Brothers. From the water, passersby often mistake the property built in 1914 for the nearby Kennedy Compound, which sits just up the street. Historic photos show the Kennedys sailing in front of the house, and even Jackie Kennedy waterskiing nearby. *** “It feels like a 4th of July house,” said Grover. “It feels like a real slice of Americana.”I always imagined simpler things when I heard the word "Americana". Not hoity toity mansions near a compound belonging to an elitist family who is best known for holding elected office. What do I know? Maybe our Masshole Hordelings can set me straight.

Read about the Methodist minister announcing his trans-formation from the pulpit. Wearing a rainbow cape thing with his robes.
Then a photo of his new look in full pancake make-up. Sad clowns are now cherished. Pitiful looking man and fake woman. He said it is not about sex (which I don't think about with the creatures anyway). I hope he goes through with the surgery and enjoys the process before the horror sets in. He should be scorned and ridiculed and run out of town with his feather boa and brooch collections.
In NY and a small church. I wonder if anyone got up and left, because I would have.
In the South he would be packing post haste.

And I live 10 miles from one of the biggest silver deposits ever found. The Comstock. In the tailings still up there is about half as much as they extracted. Now it is all a National Monument so it can't be touched. There is a failrly decent copper deposit about 30 miles from me. They've been trying to get that going for years. Nevada has a ton of mineral wealth we just can't do anything with it. Plus lawsuits and all that enviro-mental crap stalling tactics. Cost a fortune to sink one shovel in the ground.

The problem with silver bullets is that they are not very malleable, which means they won't conform to the rifling of a barrel, so won't get the stability that comes from the spin that rifling produces. Thus, it doesn't matter what type of armament you are carrying, it becomes a musket. You cannot depend on the weapon being accurate at distance, so adjust your tactics accordingly.

Gold is manipulated because that is what pretends to cover fiat, Silver is manipulated because it is what backstops gold in those sideways future trades everyone relies on to keep from having to produce physical gold, and copper and Zinc are pretty much what silver comes from, and those prices are manipulated as well.

The Lone Ranger to the contrary notwithstanding, silver bullets are difficult tho make. High melting temperature of silver makes conventional lead-bullet molds unusable.
Beads of silver shot loaded into a shotgun shell would be quite feasible. I would guess about 3/4 ounce of silver shot would fit in a 12 gauge shell, and should be effective at across-the-room range.

Pre-65 coinage is at around 90% silver, and the weights are (new) at 0.86 troy ounce, or about one ounce Avoirdupois (16 ounces to the pound instead of Troy at 12 ounces to the pound)
Silver and gold are quoted at Troy.
Pre 1982 pennies are 95% copper.
As coins are handled, they wear down and can weigh less

The outlying counties, even with the Williamson bulwark, are not going to be enough votes if more people of the same persuasion continue to pack into south nashville, and it's a chic place to live now that all the moderately wealthy lib kids have chased out the former residents. It's going to be a problem in 10 years, if not sooner.

Enragement farmers. What are they? And Why are they?
* casual tug on a coffin nail *
Most often they are moderately not smart lefties looking for some money on the site know as X. Sometimes they are foreigners who have no interest in the Constitution. Just know you shouldn't give them the time of day. Oh, sure, they say stupid things. That's the point. They want to engage. They want your anger because they get paid.
So avoid the ... obvious bait. The provocatively stupid. And save your steak from the cracks on the grill of life.

The buddy of mine who cast silver ounces into bullets said they tried a few shots to see how they worked, and he found they didn't shoot well, they all went wild because they would engrave on the rifling, or stripped over it.
FWIW, he said they had to heat the molds pretty hot on a hot plate before casting to get the silver to flow right and cast cleanly
In the Monster Hunter International books the hunters use sintered silver and lead, or a polymer and silver mix for their werewolf rounds.

I read an article in a gun magazine years ago. Author wanted to make silver bullets, and immediately destroyed a steel mold trying to pour them. I don't remember how he finally made them. Lost wax casting, like jewellers use, or maybe he turned them on a lathe?
Dimes are indeed about the same diameter as a 12 gauge bore. They might need to be trimmed to fit inside a shell.

Galena is lead sulfide, PbS2. It is crystalline (cubic), and quite brittle. Crumbly, even. There is argentiferous galena, with silver substituting for some of the lead.
Pure silver is soft. Not as soft as lead, but softer than copper, and copper will deform into the rifling of a gun barrel just fine.

Be curious when all is done with turnout by county. Behn over performed due to millions of Dem bucks spent is my guess while GOP turnout was enough to win.
Turnout was about the same as former incumbent Green's 2022 race of 180k. Difference is that Behn spent her money pooling early votes and Van Epps did not have the 5 PCT or so bump from incumbency that is usual. Behn is hinting at a rematch in 2026 but she probably won't get the money she blew to get close in this race. Probably outspent Van Epps close to 2:1 counting dark money.

Looking at recent past elections:
R v D
2025: 97K v 81K
2024: 192K v 123K
2022: 108K v 69K
So...the Ds continue to get the same or better numbers as they do in non-presidential national elections in these special elections. Which points a bright shining finger at fraud.
It does look like Trump's intervention did get us closer to normal off year turn out here, but the GOP has to figure out how to do this without Trump having to get personally involved.

There is a whole host of complex minerals that are multiple sulfides or sulfosalts of lead, silver, arsenic, antimony, and other metals. Among them are ruby silvers, which have a sparkly metallic luster, but present a pinkish cast due to powdered material on the surface. These metallic minerals are in fact somewhat transparent, and look like ruby-red gems under the reflecting-light microscope. I have samples.

It is worth smelting it a bit harder now, I suspect.
Did you hear about a newer way of recycling rare-earth metals from scrapped electronics? The claim is that flash heating the scrap in a chlorine atmosphere will separate out the various fractions of materials depending on the temperature used. The group that did the research thinks it will be cheaper to process scrap than mine the ore.

I'm going to call B$ on this one.
The UK - until this year - had what is known as non-domiciled (non-dom) tax regime. Basically, if you're a US citizen living in the UK, you only had to pay tax on UK-derived income. In the US, by contrast, you paid tax no matter where it was derived in the world. So, Ellen and Portia would pay no UK tax but pay full US tax. Now, however, the non-dom scheme is going away, and all UK residents will now pay tax from wherever the income comes from, just like the US.
Basically, Ellen's leaving because she'll now get tax twice on all her global income - once from the UK and again from the US.
I expect Professor Galloway - who made a big deal out of being a non-dom last year - to quietly make the move back to the US as well.

Aha! The Rice U. team was recovering rare earths from scrap rare earth magnets, not from bulk "e-waste". So you would have to disassemble the electric motors, etc. where the magnets are used.
And "flash joule heating" is basically vaporize the sample by passing a huge jolt of current through it.

Never had much use for him once he broke up The Jam. Really did the other two guys bad. Still revered in Britain to this day, although he's ticked off a goodly portion of his older fans from the Jam era by very loudly supporting the "Palestinian Cause". Very odd bird even for a musician, I suspect

There are a decent amount of white castles around here. The closest is about 5 miles away. Back in the 80's there were less of them, so there was one location that was a frigging madhouse when all the rock/metal clubs were closing for the night. We're talking like 2 am, pretty much every night of the week, and the place would be packed. One night we were in there and a friend of ours orders 100 burgers ketchup only, and starts passing them out to the people in line. lol

227 Silver should be about 1/17.5 of the price of gold based on the relative abundance of gold vs. silver in the crust of the Earth. Last time I looked gold was about 85 times the price of silver per troy ounce, not 17.5 times. So which is more manipulated: the price of gold or silver? I’m betting the price of silver is more manipulated. What do you think?
Posted by: NemoMeImpuneLacessit at December 02, 2025 11:01 PM (ZVgZ4)
-------
It's just not a simple question of relative abundance. Gold has a unique cachet as a store of value. ("Demand.") There is also the matter of demand driven by industrial uses for both metals. and how accessible/available/concentrated the deposits are. The relative abundances cited are estimates for the entire Earth's crust.

So, that along with the normal tree which takes almost 3 days to put up because there's 100's of ornaments and 1100 lights, and all of it is in tons of tubs that have to come up from the basement. Then there's the row of ceramic christmas village looking house things that run the length of the fireplace mantle, and the decorations in general for the rest of the house.

I haven't done anything outside yet. I haven't gotten around to actually installing outdoor receptacles in yet. The dude before me never thought of it when he built the house.

A few strings of lights along the deck railing. No ladder required! C9 sized, straight across. Mini-lights hung in scallops below them. Zip-ties to secure to railing and balusters, so winter winds don't knock them around.
One single small, artificial tree on a side-table by living room window. One string of lights around same window, inside, hanging on cup-hooks placed years ago.
Done!

"They drove through my yard. Waving Islamic flags, out the window, and screaming things in Arabic," he said.

On the attributes of what would make good money, Aristotle mused that it should be rare, though not too rare, durable, portable, divisible, homogenous, fungible, etc. Gold is almost perfect.
Lots of things can be used as money, and indeed have, but they aren’t quite suitable for different reasons.
On a discussion forum about gold I got one leftist to dance around the subject of money, and he eventually eventually asserted that gold is not (and cannot be) money.
I think apparently only the government can decide such things, apparently. Gold is an asset, and (more or less) cannot be made un-valuable by decree. It can be made illegal, not quite the same. The people who suggest stocks are better than told completely miss the point. It’s better to hold gold than cash. The dollar has been relatively immune to contortions in currencies, gold has been making new highs in foreign currencies for quite a while.

So maybe that means the lunatic AWFL base was really motivated to come out, but we got our base out enough to counter it. Margin was 9 points.

"The meat is considered unsuitable to eat in some areas, while in other areas it is considered an important source of protein. In parts of South America, especially in Venezuela, capybara meat is popular during Lent and Holy Week as the Catholic Church (according to a legend) previously issued special dispensation to allow it to be eaten while other meats are generally forbidden. There is widespread perception in Venezuela that consumption of capybaras is exclusive to rural people."
So that's it - they don't taste good. Lucky for them.

I grew catnip one year and dried the leaves for herbal tea.
My big tom was interested in it, but not much and left it alone.
Then that winter I made a cup, and spilled it on the floor, and when I wiped it up and went for another towel I found the tom rolling in it

Just got home. Lucy the Fink is demanding pets.
There was a really cool glow over the city with contrasting clouds and dark lapis skies. My commute takes me across Elliot Bay so I have an unobstructed view of the Seattle skyline. It really is pretty.
Then I go around Duwamish Head and (when there’s any light in the sky, which there is not this time of year) the Olympic Mountain range is in full view. Right now, sporting a bit of snow. Will become shining white in the next several weeks.
I live in a beautiful place.

PTSD is when the past keeps coming to the present. It's something that people don't just "get over."
If someone "gets over" a difficult trauma experience, it means they don't have PTSD.
It's incredibly cruel and useless to tell people with PTSD to "just get over it."

No, I'm trying to figure out if Massie goes full turncoat and joins the Dems to out the best R speaker we've ever had and puts Hakeem in charge...and THEN Trump gets impeached.
There are 219 Rs before this election (just looked it up) with 3 vacancies (this is one). So, MTG leaves and we lose this, it's 218 pending 2 other elections where if we can't win a TN huge R seat, we can't win anything in an off election...

I respect those guys so much.
I saw my daughter over the weekend. She is reading a self-help book. I said "You cannot help yourself. Only God can help you."
Walker Percy posited in his book "Lost in the Cosmos: The Last Self-Help Book" that we cannot help ourselves because we cannot see ourselves." Our faculties are for looking outward and sensing the world. Only God can see into us and heal us.

Our dishwasher died two weeks ago. It was in the house when we bought it. It was one of those fancy high tech ones. A piece of crap, only five years old.
We went to the appliance store and bought one for $400. It only has a start button, lol.

A combination of hubris and greed; the south Nashville bubble went 78-22 for Behn and it is one of the fastest growing areas in the state as it has places to live for gen z. The outlying counties, even with the Williamson bulwark, are not going to be enough votes if more people of the same persuasion continue to pack into south nashville, and it's a chic place to live now that all the moderately wealthy lib kids have chased out the former residents. It's going to be a problem in 10 years, if not sooner.

Depends on what you are arguing. If you're arguing that Trump might have screwed up, other people are allowed to have other assessments. But perhaps we can agree, because Trump can make mistakes.
None of those mistakes make me want another choice in office. That's the bottom line.

Former President Biden will receive the Chris Abele Impact Award at the LGBTQ+ Victory Institute's Leaders Conference in Washington, D.C., on Friday, and deliver a rare post-presidency speech. The award for Biden follows "what LGBTQ+ advocates widely view as the most inclusive administration in U.S. history," as the former president had appointed the most LGBTQ+ officials, restored transgender military service, and reinstated and expanded federal protections, The Advocate reported.It is "rare" for Biden to give a post-presidential speech for the same reason it was rare for him to appear publicly as president: Because he's demented and dying. But release Trump's MRI, right? Jim Jordan and congressional Republicans are probing Jack Smith and other government-weaponizers who spied on them.
House and Senate Republicans targeted by former Special Counsel Jack Smith's subpoenas were gearing up for significant oversight of both the Justice Department and the FBI when their phone records were seized. This raises questions about whether the subpoenas served a dual purpose--to investigate Jan. 6, as Smith was appointed to do, and to keep tabs on the oversight probes into agency conduct, one former representative whose phone records were seized by Smith suggested. "They were trying to spy on us to see what we were doing," former Rep. Louie Gohmert told the John Solomon Reports podcast. "And also, I think they were looking for anything that they could use to come after us, or hold over our heads, because, you know, you can intimidate the people that are coming after you."

Michael Douglas and his wife, Catherine Zeta-Jones, are reportedly very displeased over the manner in which their son Dylan was humiliated during a roundtable discussion on politics with CNN commentator Scott Jennings. Young Dylan was left stuttering incomprehensibly midway through the interview, which has seemingly become a source of mockery behind the scenes. Now, according to sources, his parents, Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones, intend to blacklist the entire network, as they believe CNN crossed the line. Insiders have informed Rob Shuter's #ShuterScoop about Douglas and Zeta-Jones' reaction to their son's disastrous interview on CNN. The couple is said to be so "furious" with the media outlet that they intend to "blacklist the whole network" moving forward. On Zeta-Jones' part, she has reportedly been ranting to her friends about how the interview was "unfair and exploitative," seemingly referring to how her son was left stunned and stuttering at some of the questions he was asked. Meanwhile, Douglas shares the same opinion and has told his close circle that the outlet "crossed a line." Part of the reason the couple is so angered by the entire situation appears to be that they knew their son wasn't prepared for such a heated debate. "Dylan's never been spoken to like that in his entire life. He's always been the golden boy -- adored, protected. CNN gave him a taste of the real world, and his parents hated every second of it," said a source. ... For a while, the two continued engaging in a back-and-forth, but when Jennings began hitting Dylan with statistical figures and facts, the young politics enthusiast was left stunned and unable to defend his stance. This became especially apparent when the conversation shifted toward the expiring Affordable Care Act tax credits, which Democrats said were the reason they would not pass the funding bill. The politically active son of the Hollywood favorite began stuttering incomprehensibly, a sign that he seemed unsure of what to say.So, CNN's too conservative for Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones? Dylan Douglas was born in 2000 making him 25 years old and almost 26. And this "golden boy" got himself on CNN to spout his ludicrously uninformed nonsense, and it's CNN's fault for "exploiting" him? He's twenty-five. That's only four years younger than the age I pretend to be. They're speaking as if he's a child, and a developmentally-disabled child at that.

I think that is a combination of federal and state money. But still we are talking about trillions of dollars being given away with limited or no oversight. Most of that is being stolen or donated back to democrats and the intended recipients are getting at most ten cents on the dollar of that money.

Doris Roberts (Mildred) when imprisoned and he was telling her his plan to expose the jewel thief who evaded him all his career and show those who had mocked him cried out "I can expose you! I know all about what you did!" ...cut to Baker who says nothing but gives a little smile Mildred goes on in a different voice "but what business is it of mine? No reason to tell anyone at all!"

During the height of the covid madness here in Texas the catholic church was pulling in $1,200 to house and feed each illegal that came across the border that were turned over to them by ICE.
They were leasing out entire hotels in south Texas to house and feed them at a fraction of the cost the government was paying them. They were pocketing over $600 above expenses for each illegal they temporarily housed.
They didn't quit until March of this year after Trump turned off the illegal spigot.

Unemployment among the Somali working class is over 40%.
So, in Minnesota there are between 23,000 and 40,000 Somalis of working age who don't have a job. So, they have to be getting their money somehow.
My point is that if they crash down on the fraud, and eliminate it...it's going to be interesting to see the reaction. Somalis are Tribal. They don't integrate. So, if a chunk move to another state (say California), the rest will follow. And, their departure will be loud, expensive, and dangerous.

Catherine Zeta-Jones is probably in one of her bipolar spirals now. I'm not going to look at Dylan's wiki, but would guess he majored in political science with a minor in female gender studies. He also can't part his hair and needs his mommy.

Wow. Good indication that they don't have a good grasp about the God of the Bible.
Purity is not a God-thing. If he wanted "purity" he would have never created things inferior to himself and never bothered with Earth or coming to it.
God accents a principle with similar dynamics. Redemption and Holiness.
Holiness is not purity, it puts the stress on separating...and by implication oneself.
God does not need man to purify things for him, that's directly not what he's about.
He overcomes the World, not by beating it down, but by infusing it with Himself and raising it UP. The Incarnation is the expression of a God who's main theme is to descend, indwell--within the muck, and to raise things out of the muck.
Theirs is a theme of the incarnation turned on its head.

Fascist Government Shows Its Authoritarianism By Responding to Voters' Wishes
Kristi Noem says "We don't want them [third world criminal immigrants]."
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Monday delivered one of the strongest border-security demands yet of the Trump administration's second term, urging President Trump to enact a sweeping travel ban on "every damn country" sending violent offenders into the United States. Noem revealed the recommendation in a blistering post on X shortly after meeting with the president, saying the nation can no longer accept foreign nationals who, in her words, are "flooding our nation with killers, leeches, and entitlement junkies." Noem framed the proposal as a necessary break from the failed leniency of the Biden years. "Our forefathers built this nation on blood, sweat, and the unyielding love of freedom -- not for foreign invaders to slaughter our heroes, suck dry our hard-earned tax dollars, or snatch the benefits owed to AMERICANS," she wrote, adding a final line aimed squarely at the countries she argues are exploiting U.S. generosity: "WE DON'T WANT THEM. NOT ONE." A DHS spokesperson told the New York Post that the department will soon publish the list of countries facing new restrictions. ... In the immediate aftermath of the attack, the State Department halted visa processing for Afghan passport holders, a move intended to prevent additional entry from the same channels that admitted the alleged gunman.It's not just the terrorists, and it's not just the Somali pirates stealing a billion dollars from us and sending it back home to fund Al-Shaabab terrorism against us. And it's not just Democrat politicians enabling that massive theft and funding of terrorism for Somali pirate votes.
Fox News legal analyst Gregg Jarrett said Monday that Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz allowed the state's massive COVID-era fraud scandal to fester because he sought political favor from the state's large Somali community. Walz defended his administration Sunday by claiming Minnesota "attracts criminals" and telling the public not to "demonize" the Somali community, even as he faced questions over more than $1 billion in welfare fraud tied to Somali-linked schemes. Appearing on "The Evening Edit," Jarrett said the question many Minnesotans want answered is simple: Why would Walz allow a massive fraud scheme to flourish? "So if all of this is true, and I suspect it is, the question is, why would he do it? Well, the answer is he was currying favor with the large Somali community where the fraud was largely happening. He was turning a blind eye for political gain," Jarrett told host Elizabeth MacDonald. Jarrett said state employees allege more than just simple administrative failure.
It's also incompetent third-world drivers paying for fraudulent commercial drivers licenses to kill us on the highways:

he Department of Homeland Security sent a letter Monday to New York Attorney General Letitia James, demanding that she turn over the more than 7,000 illegal migrants that are allegedly locked up in jails and prisons in the state. Acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Todd Lyons claimed that nearly 7,000 illegal migrants, who had active detainers because they allegedly committed thousands of crimes, were released back into the state since January and 7,113 illegal migrants with active ICE detainers are currently locked up in New York, according to the New York Post. "These are people who are not only in the country illegally, but who have committed additional crimes, including heinous crimes like murder, rape, possession of child pornography, armed robbery, and many others," Lyons wrote. The DHS said that the migrants are being protected by New York's sanctuary laws, which limit local law enforcement cooperation with immigration agents.

Why can't the NYPD -- and failing that, the Nat'l Guard -- use some rubber bullets and tear gas? If the anti-ICErs (deICErs?) are getting violent, the law needs to get violent back. If an illegal shoots an ICE agent, ICE should shoot him until he stops moving, and refuse to apologize for it.

I have come to agree with some of the Morons here. No more immigration. Moratorium, for at least two decades. No immigrant visas or permanent alien visas shall be issued. Guest worker visas - like the hated and abused H-1B - must be explicitly prohibited from having a "path to citizenship." You do your specialty short-term work and then go home, and get a princely wage in exchange.
The *only* exception I can see is the EB-1 visa or similar new visa, for truly outstanding technical geniuses. We actually *do* want the next Einstein or Fermi. There aren't many of them. The rest can wait a couple of decades or more.

Democrats want you to fear. People who are afraid will seek security. Sadly, many (perhaps most) modern Americans will seek 'security' from the very people who are enabling the problems they fear. They will give up any freedom for the illusion of safety.
Benjamin Franklin saw this but modern people aren't even getting temporary safety. They're getting a façade of safety. All so that the globohomo elite can amass a bit more power in their drive to reinstitute feudalism.

CA is right at the center of this whole thing. Their "gig worker" law reclassified owner-operator truck drivers as employees instead of independent contractors. Large carriers and shippers refused to contract with owner operators anymore because they didn't want to have to do all the extra BS required. There was a later injunction, but the damage was done.
Then the CARB and ACT banned older trucks from registration in CA unless they did emission retrofits.
This opened a massive hole in the labor force that CA filled by giving any illegal with a pulse a fake CDL.

This is the difference between being affluent and being wealthy. You can be affluent and flat broke. I know a bunch of people like that. You can be middle-income - or even no income at all - and be quite rich. There are fewer of those, but still many of them.
Different problems and priorities to be sure, but that also *shouldn't* matter because the state shouldn't be incentivizing some at the expense of others ("picking winners and losers").

This is the problem with trying to shoehorn Marxist definitions into the real world. In our language, "working class" is not a subtle distinction about owning capital, it refers to a type of work.

Contracts as I understand it, are let out to companies or individuals who do a bidding process to qualify. The routes are managed by a supervisor, and the mileage is fixed, and the fuel and maintenance cost is set for a year. A rise in fuel prices or parts will beggar a contractor. One way to minimize costs is to hire cheap drivers. Contracts, if the rural carriers are an example, are for one year.
If the companies say "no se puede" and offer to void the contract, then the USPS has to either find more expensive drivers to fill the holes, or deliver between cities by foot.
I don't think the USPS is hiring illegals directly, at least not if there is a hiring process like they used to with background checks and all.

However, 0.99 represents a difference from 1.000→ and it is not just notation to add another '9' to the end.
Meanwhile, Mathematical induction would actually illustrate that it if it's true that 1.0 - 1e-k <=/=> 1.0 and true that 1.0 - 1e-(k+1) <=/=> 1.0, it suggest that it is true for every increment of taking 90% of the difference. All N > k + 1.
The idea that we can add "uncountably many" is part of framework of Mathematical theory, no doubt. But can you see the case that "uncountably many" invokes an ignorance?

Many of you have no ability to look at a situation strategically and it shows.
Destroying narco trafficking vessels in international waters from standoff range is not just tactically efficient—it is strategically advantageous.
When we eliminate these boats without risking our own service members, we force narco terrorist trafficking organizations to immediately adapt their tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs). Every adjustment they make, whether in routing, vessel type, communication methods, or timing, creates new intelligence that helps us map their networks more accurately.
They cannot simply stop moving product, so the pressure exposes how they reconfigure themselves under threat.
[and so on for even more detailed explanation]

It's not actually an obsession with class, it's an obsession with possessions and lifestyles. Each person imagines different economic classes in a different way in their own head and most people lust to be in a higher class as long as they don't have to exert effort to get there.
That, of course, provides the envy which the Marxists exploit... oh, the bourgeoisie have more than you and you work so very, very, hard. It's just not fair. Vote for us and we'll take from them and give to you. But the voter doesn't give a shit about 'class', they just want some free shit.

If the companies say "no se puede" and offer to void the contract, then the USPS has to either find more expensive drivers to fill the holes, or deliver between cities by foot.
I don't think the USPS is hiring illegals directly, at least not if there is a hiring process like they used to with background checks and all.

INSURANCE.
Someone here did a rundown on it. They are sham companies brother -in-lawed by Sikhs running barely passable trucks. They have a problem them move on.
The insurance on those trucks is outrageous. Think about your insurance and multiply it by the size and dollar of damage it can do not counting the freight.
Reputable companies aren't doing this. You never see a name brand company named in these wrecks. Any you know MSM would love to burn one.

This is the problem of myopia--people act in a society and usually in the presence of some sort of ruling structure. Too much attention to individuality means you permit asocial assholes to behave like assholes because that is their culture. Too much attention to groups, then you automatically assert a general proposition about all members of such a group. There is a happy medium and that is when a group mostly demonstrates undesirable qualities as a general rule, then something should be done about it.
Same with an individual who repeatedly demonstrates asocial qualities ( a criminal for example) then society and law have a right to compel them to stop. We have the equal protection of laws for protection of groups (religion has the 1st Amendment), and we have due process to protect fairness for individuals.

Marx yammered about the starving workers vs evil factory owners. In the real world there are plenty that can't live off their savings/property but are not abjectly poor. That would be the middle class. You can split it into upper and lower segments if you like, but you are getting into handwaving. You mix things up more as your evil business owners merge down to small businesses, mom and pop and family operations.

The media immediately went into protection mode and said that the statistic was taken out of context. Except, that figure was likely about half of what it should have been because a significant number of illegal immigrants here at present were not even registered for a court date. They just slipped into the population.

It means we cannot determine an actual boundary.
Mathematical induction is done, without a bound, but without any hand-waving of "numbers that act drastically different".
I can prove that if there are finite increments to k, and by that definition finite increments to k + 1, "trans-finite" numbers are unreachable by the "Successor-of" relationship which, in some useful schemes, defines the actual concept of what we are dealing with.

It is a heuristic, not destiny for an individual and useful in some but not all analyses when you have employ typologies to get anywhere.
Employed, unemployed for example. Welfare recipient, non welfare recipient, even race when one is dealing with anti discrimination laws.
Most of what legislation in statutes is for groups and classes-barbers and beauticians for example require licenses, if you try to cut other's hair for money, then you best have a license or the state will come down on you. Same with entry or exit to the US, have a passport. Non passport holders get treated differently by law and regulations for a reason.
And that is simply because the state lacks the ability and resources to treat everyone as an individual in every single matter. And most people probably wouldn't like it if the state did. Same as no one really wants perfect 'justice' when applied to them.
So whinging about whether or not someone uses a term you don't like by calling it Marxist thus taboo is silly.

And in practical terms, one is limited by the degree that one can measure accurately.
That is why mathematics often can postulate but have no predictive power in reality--mathematicians can make the math work but its application to an accurate description of observable reality can be tenuous or even non existent as string theory probably is.
There is a reason that Sabine Hossenfelder left academia--in part, mathematicians have been colonizing physics which in turn has led to an increasing divergence of what the math says and what the observable reality is.

Years ago I used to work for a company that did the investigations on serious truck accidents. Usually, in the middle of the night. Back then, the worst drivers were the ones that came down from Canada. They were usually hours over their limit on driving hours. They were usually hopped up on speed. And, the manifest was almost always inaccurate because they made an unscheduled stop somewhere if you get my drift. These guys had their own apparatus to re-seal the trailer after they skimmed.

another factor is they don't WANT to lose momentum on long upgrades. The gears make it super hard to regain speed if loaded up. Zipping in and getting close in front and slowing down drives them nuts. In places like Nebraska and East Colorado, that's the whole state.
Similar for downhill sections. Trucks can actually run out of air for the brakes. Give them a lane to run in. I drove the downslope out of Donner Pass and had to ration the brakes to the curve part.

The further I went up in Mathematics, the more I was acquainted with having to settle for indeterminism.
It's funny though, I have been around countless mathematicians, far more capable than I, who gloss over indeterminacy as a type of admission and humility of what can be known.
It's kind of embarrassing to admit it's "ignorance" in the "Age of Knowing".
The blind optimism and triumphalism that Bertrand Russell showed in appendix of his 1902 book The Principles of Mathematics, kind of explain his near-suicidal embarrassment in grasping Goedel's abrupt quash to all that nonsense.

The insurance on those trucks is outrageous. Think about your insurance and multiply it by the size and dollar of damage it can do not counting the freight.
Reputable companies aren't doing this. You never see a name brand company named in these wrecks. Any you know MSM would love to burn one.
---
Yup.
There's a rider on all commercial polices that requires the insurance company to cover any trucks by that company.
So they get the commercial policy on a legal truck.
Get a bunch of other trucks but don't tell their insurance.
Roll with that certificate--that confirms coverage--if they're pull over.
Disappear in the wind if they crash.
Leaving the insurance--who passes that on to you--with a several hundred K loss.

They first have to navigate through the Colombia/Panama border which doesn't seem to have a *single* road through it. They *might* be able to move the drugs via horses/mules through obscure jungle paths, but good luck with that. The only way to move large quantities of drugs out of South America is by air or water, both of which are easily monitored.

Use of social or economic classes has nothing to do with either words or language. Classes aka groupings by a variable can be a useful descriptor in some cases as in SES. Not all but some. For example, as socio economic status increases, the predilection to vote increases. So if you want to increase voting by shy Trump voters, then you best be able to accurately describe why they don't vote for standard Republicans but do turn out for Trump.

You just have to be careful when trying to mix apples and oranges in these cases. You can draw lines on one chart, and get a group and give it a name, but reapplying it to the real world and mixing it with other groupings is chancy and should be treated with skepticism.

The Darien Gap.
It's where's the Pan-American Highway ends because the area is jungle and swamp. If the gap didn't exist you could drive from Canada to Argentina.
It used to be basically impassable, but with the migrant waves of recent years it's got UN refugee camps and the local native tribes act as guides for pay through some trails.
I doubt it's as active now thanks to Trump cutting off the flow, but the gap is not as treacherous as it used to be.
It's still a big choke-point, though.

As someone that used to do substantial empirical models, that goes without saying. For the most part, the difficulty is not in determining groups but whether or not a concept is useful. Sometimes it is in there simply as a statistical control variable. For example, surveying political attitudes in an electorate. Like it or not ethnicity affects voting patterns of groups.
In a sense, all such groups in social sciences are heuristics whether we are using states as the key dependent variable, historical eras, etc. Plus one can often have different ecological issues--what is true at one level may not be true at another.
In essence, all social science is probability based because it has to be. About like track odds at a horse race. The better models predict and explain. The worst models simply explain after the fact (e.g. the horrible post 2012 GOP post election analysis).

As the Media Insists That It's Illegal To Shoot Missiles at Foreign Terrorist Drug Boats, They Also Claim That It's Okay to Shoot National Guardsmen If You Object to Their Presence
At some point, the left will have the shooting war they crave.
Charles C.W. Cooke:Responding to the news that a crazed asylee from Afghanistan had shot two National Guard troops in Washington, D.C., the New Yorker's Jane Mayer concluded that the attack was "so tragic" and "so unnecessary," before proceeding to identify the real culprit of the abomination: President Donald J. Trump. "These poor guardsmen," wrote Mayer, "should never have been deployed." In this ugly asseveration, Mayer was swiftly joined by a bunch of other political commentators, each more desperate than the last to train their fire on the current occupant of the White House. In The Atlantic, Juliette Kayyem wrote that "there are costs to performatively deploying members of the military, one of which is the risk of endangering them." On Twitter, the author John Pavlovitz explicitly proposed that "Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are culpable for endangering the National Guard by putting them in harm's way." Not to be outdone, MS NOW's Ken Dilanian followed this path to its revolting terminus by suggesting that the guardsmen were "walking around with uniforms in an American city," that "there are some Americans that might object to that," and "so, apparently, this shooting has happened."As with Charlie Kirk: The victims brought their murders at the hands of leftists upon themselves.
Meanwhile, ABC "News" under George Sloppadopoulos and the Gay Model says that the Motive May Never Be Known, but right now we can confidently say that he shot those National Guardsmen not because he is a foreign Islamic terrorist and not becuase he was programmed to kill by a traitor media that justifies the murders of its opponents, but because... of Trump's economy. He was feeling financial stress you guys.
I'm sorry . . . what? In what possible universe could that be an appropriate response? Washington, D.C., is a federal city over which the federal government has plenary control. If, as has been the case this year, the federal government decides that it is necessary to deploy federal agents to enforce the law, it is permitted to do so without the expectation that those agents will be murdered. Certainly, the American social contract has become more complicated over time than it was back in 1787, but at no point has it come to tolerate the proposition that officials who have been sent to keep the peace should expect to be gunned down by assassins if their deployment is disapproved of by the progressive intellectual class. Politically, one can believe that Donald Trump's decision to deploy the National Guard was a good one, a bad one, or a middling one and that postulate will not change one whit. Whether they are there to pick up trash, fight an alien invasion, or solely to smile for foreign tourists, there is no circumstance in which killing them is appropriate.
Ah, it’s one of those classic cases of a guy suffering financial stress driving all the way across the country to gun down two National Guardsmen in a city to which he has no connection. When you think about it, it’s our fault. https://t.co/yQzySC6kuu

It's hard to see how that can be avoided, since there is no hope for preserving any organization they are allowed to participate in, because they have to corrupt everything to their cause.
On the other hand, Americans these days are a lazy, cowardly people, who are primarily interested in keeping our illusions of wealth going.
If we were going to start shooting, it should have been when government and our employers demanded we subject ourselves to dangerous genetic experimentation (to avoid catching a cold) and made the main goal of public education the transing of children. To date: nothing.

If he wanted to go out in a blaze of glory by killing federal agents he would not have to have driven 3,000 miles. There is a huge ICE presence in washington state or even in nearby oregon that he could have attacked without having to drive for days.

Or one who wrote songs about loving a manchild, or a guy she knows is bad and hopes he won't prove her right. Or implies she stole a guy's credit card in her Espresso music vid and committed credit card fraud on his dime. Yes, that paragon of virtue.

Iron in breakfast cereals is literally tiny bits of pure metal iron pasted into the flakes. You can pull them out of your wheaties with a magnet. In use as hemoglobin, say, it is bound with a long chain carbon molecule with a particular shape that can hold oxygen.
Other stuff in vitamin capsules may be in a non carbon molecule when ingested if its something the body can use without being poison or something.

There's an interesting dynamic going on with the Russia/Ukraine Peace process. The EU leaders are absolutely livid that Trump has cut them out of the process entirely. Their primary goal is to have the conflict continue. But, if it is negated, they wanted their mugs plastered across the media for being a part of the process. They are doing their best to sabotage the efforts because they won't benefit from a peace result that doesn't include them sapping up the credit.
I suspect that this is a non-negotiable condition laid down by Russia. And, he probably didn't have to work very hard to convince Trump.

I would say intellectuals in general are known for ignoring reality when proposing their theories. And the ruling class part that f*cking loves Science!!! amplify these theories into real world actions that come a cropper when they contradict reality.
In about 1910 or so, a prominent intellectual argued that wars were obsolete anymore because all the world powers were trading partners and the economic consequences of war in such a world would prevent it.
The book of Proverbs and Ecclesiastes among other biblical lessons win every time versus today's intellectuals about how nations, humans, and societies behave.

It *is* largely political, but not for the reasons the naysayers imply.
What I have found notable about the various NG deployments is that most of the time, they actually don't do much. Most of what they appear to do is, in fact, simply "showing up." The real heavy lifting is done by the local cops, as commanded by suddenly very nervous local politicians and police chiefs.
And *that* is the real - and devastating - thing about the NG deployments. These cities *could* have been peaceful at any time the local political and police heavies decided to, they just didn't decide to. America's notorious violent shitholes could have been a lot better for a long time, but nobody was willing to do so for whatever reason. Corruption, ideology, etc. - many explanations, but only one real conclusion: it's bad because they want it bad (or, at least, it's bad because they don't care to make it better).

You would be surprised. Things in the US have simply not gotten that raw since the ACW and before that, the American Revolution. WWI and WWII among others were foreign wars so you did not have kin fighting kin, neighbor versus neighbor, etc. Even much of the ACW did not exhibit that problem. For that reason, the American Revolution is probably closer to the mark and there was a similar differences in loyalty between the urban elites and the rural types in that war as well. Many of those urban elites were friends of the Crown because the Crown relied upon them to put down their fellow countrymen. Twas not forgotten after the war.

As Trump told Zelensky as well, Europe has no cards to play in Ukraine. They have no troops to speak of and their economy is tanking. Ukraine's ability to even hold a stable front is declining and Russia can punch out some strongpoint and engulf it only subject to safely getting supplies to the line. This will only get worse as the region fortified since 2014 is occupied and open lands are left to defend.
Trump wants the endgame to be at a conference table rather than on the ground, but either way it is going to be on Russia's terms. The EU and Ukraine are still delusional.

I used to listen to talk radio during the commute and occasionally Ramsey would come on with his usual crap--some was simple common sense, but a lot was bloviating morality from a shady pitchman. There was a similar financial columnist, forget her name, that used to try to sell women on the idea of cds, high cost annuities, etc. rather than rely on the stock market. Forget that bint's name.

I feel the same way about anyone in the US wishing for a shooting war. Before the US Civil War, people in both the North and the South strongly believed the other side would be a pushover. It was a mistake then and it's a mistake now. Plenty of "their side" have guns and those who don't can learn how to use one fast enough.

I would say it's the problem of "everything looking like a nail".
You can "work smarter, not harder". That much is clear.
And this occurrence creates the econiche intellectuals live in. However, that some things can be improved by some "re-examinations", does not mean that every act of rethinking contributes to "working smarter".
But academics rely on a overabundance in the skill of re-thinking in relation to physical effort. Thus academics rely on the hype of re-thinking.
Thus there is a bias toward ignoring real world complications for the simplification to a theory. And to hype it all the while you're doing it.
It was one of the gains of actual Science that produced measurable gains through theory. But again, the overgeneralization that all Science endeavors are equally profitable creates another econiche.

This morning I stopped off at a local independent Western wear store to have a look at their stock of boots. There were more round-toe boot models than I've seen elsewhere. Prices were in the same ballpark as Boot Barn, and in some cases the items on Tecovas's website. I didn't see or try on anything I liked enough to consider taking it home. I guess an eight-mile road trip to the Tecovas store is in my future.

Current development is demanding that the electronic evidence, which the government legally seized years ago, cannot be "re-accessed" without a new warrant.
To be clear:
It was legally in the possession of the government.
And it remained legally in the possession of the government.
But, since the warrant it was seized under was some time ago and didn't say "to seize information related to all crimes of James Comey" it can't be "accessed" again by the government.
You know, like if the police search a house for tax evasion and find a bloody knife w/ your fingerprints next to a dead body, they can't use the knife in your murder trial.
If you don't understand why, it's because you stupid and didn't go to Harvard.
Which means, yes, the clown judge is going to rule in favor of Comey's friend and exclude the evidence ....

When I first tried out AI bots, I was impressed with how much it was able to do. Then I tried using it more heavily and I was unimpressed with its tendency to make things up or lose context or offer partial solutions. Then I learned how to give better prompts and make it more useful. Then I hit its limitations again.
I think the market generally reacting to the same successes and failures of AI as it stands today. On the surface, it's like magic. Then you dig in and you find issues. But it's still much more useful than many of its detractors seem to think.

That's a specious question based on intuited terms.
What's a "simulation" simulating.
When we think Nature as un-simulated, the "simulating" of Nature's physics is easy to see.
We're kind of doing Diff-EQ to suddenly shift that a "simulation" is simulating a "simulation".
Self-reference is a ubiquitously-recurring theoretical dead-end. Most self-reference problems seem to be isomorphic.
You would think that machines that halt on the input of their own encoding sounds like it could be something, however the concept relies on self-recurrence.

That's a specious question based on intuited terms.
What's a "simulation" simulating.
When we think Nature as un-simulated, the "simulating" of Nature's physics is easy to see.
We're kind of doing Diff-EQ to suddenly shift that a "simulation" is simulating a "simulation".
Self-reference is a ubiquitously-recurring theoretical dead-end. Most self-reference problems seem to be isomorphic.
You would think that machines that halt on the input of their own encoding sounds like it could be something, however the concept relies on self-recurrence.

The better question is whether China will risk attempting to project force to a location half a world away to protect its financial interests and maintain the value of properties it financed.
They certainly weren't when Sri Lanka fell, and that would have been much easier than Central America. China can't really project force all that far. That is the basic problem with Belt and Road and its related programs. If the property fails or gets expropriated, Red China essentially can't take it over.
Will they try for Venezuela? I doubt it, but it's also pretty crazy out there.

There's a well-known tactic to fraud; to compartmentalize the actors.
The Seditious Six did not know the whole plan; only "make this video." Which they eagerly did b/c, their minds, it's a mild jab at Trump but fully legal.
Last week, they were floundering, flopping for an answer to "what orders were/are illegal?"
One attempt was to retcon some fabrication from Esper's book, that Trump asked if he could order the Guard to "shoot BLM protestors in the legs."
No one read the book and no one had verified that quote.
The "kill them all" was to be the illegal order.
But, I think they had to deploy that early b/c of the shooting; it was to be rolled out after weeks of denial from Trump and Hegseth.
It's always a Watergate replay w/ the left ....

A Week of Ops: Traitor Media That Insisted Biden Was a Cognitively-Gifted "Super-Ager" Continues Pushing the Op That Trump Is Too Old to Serve and Must be Removed by the 25th Amendment
ShipwreckedcrewExperts say!
@shipwreckedcrew Nov 29 Wayyy too much coordination on the new manufactured narrative about Trump showing signs of aging. Wayyy to much coordination on WaPo story about strike on drug boat. Does no one remember 2017-2018?? This is a redo -- facts don't matter to media, only narrative matters. Facts that don't fit the narrative don't get published. The NYT admitted it as an EXPRESS policy. There was no "neutrality" -- Trump was such a threat to how they wanted the Govt to work that driving him from office what the overriding consideration. The media and Dems were back on their heels for 9 months. Now that his approval numbers have been talked down, they think he's vulnerable enough to go after him with falsified reports to drive a narrative. I've seen this movie -- and I paid attention when the credits ran.
Brian StelterThe data is that Trump usually scheduled his first event of the day at 10:30 am in his first term, but now the average first event starts at 12:08 pm. Obviously then, based on this seemingly undeniable data-driven almost-clinical evidence, Trump is unfit to serve. You'll notice that that's Noted Truth Merchant Brian Stelter saying that. Who claimed Biden was fit as a fiddle and video showing him stumbling and bumbling and wandering and fondling were all "cheap fakes." The seriously retarded fraud co-conspirator Tim Walz claimed Biden was "fit for office," but now gurgles that Trump must be removed from office due to health. "Release the MRI," he says. I'd like to see this fat retard's medical records. He looks pretty unhealthy to me, and his brains are rotten garbage. So... is any of this true? Is it true that the guy who seems to always be doing something, speaking to reporters, negotiating peace deals, etc., is really running out of energy? Well no, of course not, it's another fucking traitor media lie.
@brianstelter The NYT produced a seemingly undeniable report on Trump showing signs of aging. The story was data-driven, almost clinical, proving that Americans see Trump "less than they used to" and that "his battery shows signs of wear." Trump is trying to deny it anyway.
President Trump has been clocking 12-hour days this month, according to internal White House documents shared exclusively with the New York Post, an unusual disclosure meant to swat down a New York Times storyline that the 79-year-old president is showing "signs of fatigue." The unpublished logs, spanning 10 weekdays between Nov. 12 and Nov. 25, show Trump working roughly 50-hour weeks -- not counting weekend duties, pre-dawn phone calls, or the after-midnight bursts of activity his staff has come to expect. Far from slowing, the records depict a president driving hard on trade and immigration reforms, pushing for an end to the Russia-Ukraine war, and overseeing the most extensive White House construction effort in decades. The schedule stands in stark contrast to the Biden era that Americans still remember vividly, when the previous president's staff routinely called early-afternoon "lids" and shielded him from public view on days when he appeared visibly drained. Biden, who left office at age 82, was widely understood to be fading cognitively long before he stepped aside -- a reality even many Democrats eventually acknowledged. Trump, by comparison, is presenting a workload more reminiscent of his first year in office, with the private logs showing a relentless pace from morning into late night. On Wednesday, November 12 -- the day Congress ended the 43-day government shutdown -- aides documented 32 meetings and calls. Trump began with a 10:30 a.m. staff session in the Roosevelt Room and moved straight into a gauntlet of calls with Vice President JD Vance, Staff Secretary Will Scharf, lawmakers, judicial nominees, and business leaders. He ended with a 7:45 p.m. dinner with Wall Street executives, a bill-signing event after 10 p.m., and a late-night meeting with a corporate executive at 10:40 p.m. Notably, none of this includes the off-schedule calls he is known for taking at dawn and well past midnight. The next day brought another 17 meetings and calls over eight-and-a-half hours. He met with Chief of Staff Susie Wiles and Counsel David Warrington at 10:39 a.m., conferred with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, reviewed intelligence, sat for a "pre-brief" with speechwriters, signed an executive order alongside Melania Trump, granted a media interview, spoke with U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, and joined a 6 p.m. tele-rally for Tennessee congressional candidate Matt Van Epps.The old op was this: Trump's boundless energy was not a sign of good health, but proof that this famous teetotaler was an amphetamine addict. I actually was open to the idea he was popping uppers. How else to explain the constant energy? (It also made me feel better about being Low Energy Ace.) Now that op's usefulness is expired, so the new op: Trump is so tired you guys, seriously you guys, he may work 12-hour days but you can see that sometimes he gets fatigued. You don't say. You don't say. Karoline Leavitt is not having it:
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt called out The New York Times and its White House reporter, Katie Rogers, for suggesting that President Donald Trump is cognitively unwell after previously defending former President Joe Biden's health. Rogers and journalist Dylan Freedman authored a story on Tuesday titled, "Signs of Fatigue: Trump Faces Realities Of Aging in Office," which suggested that the 79-year-old president has made fewer public appearances and has appeared tired in comparison to his first term. Leavitt denied these allegations, and pointed out that the story is by the same reporter who defended Biden's cognitive health after his fall on Air Force One in March 2021.Video at the link.
"I will point out one fake news story over the weekend before I let you all go from The New York Times that took about one-third of the president's daily calendar and his daily schedule and said that he's doing less than he did in his first term or he might not be fit for the job. That is unequivocally false and it's deeply unfortunate that this story was written by the same outlet and the same reporter who wrote this. 'Biden is doing 100 percent fine after tripping while boarding Air Force One,'" Leavitt said. "Oh, same outlet, same reporter who wrote that President Trump is not fit for the job. Are you kidding me? You all see him almost every single day. He is the most accessible president in history," Leavitt continued.

RedWave PressIs Trump not, like Biden, a "super-ager"? What happened to "super-agers" and the reassurance that rich guys with access to today's medicine stay health and cogent well into their 80s? Oh, I guess that was an op, too.
@RedWave_Press Batya Ungar-Sargon on the FAKE NYT article: "Shorter Days, Signs of Fatigue: Trump Faces Realities of Aging in Office": "I just find the story hilarious… This is the most effective president of my lifetime. The next president is going to get half as much done. So whatever is going on with him, he seems to me to be very virile, but he is extremely, extremely effective. He has done so much. He has revolutionized this country both in terms of foreign policy." "I think a lot that comes from a place of compassion for forgotten Americans. And so to me to see people sitting around being like, oh there must be something wrong with it, we should all be so lucky to be this effective." "When we are half his age."

The White House on Monday finally shut down the weeks of Democrat-fueled gossip about President Trump's health, releasing the full memo on the MRI that sent the press into a frenzy -- and the findings couldn't be clearer. Trump, at 79, is in "excellent overall health," with imaging results that his physician described as "perfectly normal." Dr. Sean Barbabella, the president's Navy physician, said the scan taken during Trump's Oct. 10 visit to Walter Reed was nothing out of the ordinary -- a standard, preventative test for men in his age group. He explained that advanced imaging is used to catch issues early and confirm long-term cardiovascular and abdominal health. And in Trump's case, Barbabella wrote, everything came back clean. "President Trump's cardiovascular imaging is perfectly normal," Barbabella reported. No narrowing of the arteries. No blood-flow issues. No abnormalities in the heart or major vessels. Heart chambers normal. Vessel walls smooth. No inflammation. No clotting. In short -- a textbook-strong cardiovascular system. The abdominal MRI showed the same result. Barbabella said "all major organs appear very healthy and well-perfused," noting zero signs of acute or chronic concerns. Every organ evaluated was operating within normal limits.

No reasonable person can look at Trump and think the guy's not in great shape. He's witty, he's sharp, he's constantly on the move, and he's got more energy than people half his age. In that golf vid with Gretzky, Trump even looks like he might have lost a few pounds.
Normal people hear Democraps' endless caterwauling about Trump's health and think "these guys are fucking retarded." The audience for this isn't normal people. It's deranged paranoid hysterical fart-suckers that make up the base of the Democrap party.

Watch, they (dems, neocons and deepstaters) are going to start attacking the people around Vance - all the names unspeakable, all the terms that mean they have to be cancelled, because Vance has 8 years to avoid being involved with foreign wars and focusing on making the US strong, productive and wealthy again.

The NYT produced a seemingly undeniable report on Trump showing signs of aging. The story was data-driven, almost clinical, proving that Americans see Trump "less than they used to" and that "his battery shows signs of wear."
Trump is trying to deny it anyway.
Yet it was Stelter et al who said that the American people shouldn't draw any conclusions about Biden's mental state from what they can see with their very eyes.

What the IN legislators are upset is that they will now have to act in the open whether to shelve or redistrict and their votes will be taken into account if they don't by GOP voters. Trump's superpower is ripping off masks.
Posted by: whig at December 02, 2025 02:52 PM (WDjG6)
==
I hesitate to counter Whig here, but I just spent some time speaking with politically connected people on the IN redistricting. The House is ready to vote on the map - they just were angry being tongue whipped by Trump. A fair number of Scot-Irish ancestry here and they typically rebel at being pushed. The Senate is another story. This is where the GOPe contingent has a remaining power base. There are some genuine concerns of that is not how we operate going on. The one state senator shown to be on the take has only ensured he won't be re-elected. Democrat warnings of how they will try and stop this are ridiculous - there are GOP supermajorities in both bodies.
One question - getting to 9-0 seems a stretch. The map released will wipe out Carson-D in Indy. NW Indiana is another story.

Interesting Takeaway:
"Who can contribute to a Trump Account?
Children, parents or guardians, grandparents, family members, friends, and employers (with the first $2,500 per employee per year excluded from the employee’s income) may make contributions. Additionally, qualifying charitable organizations and government entities (e.g., states, tribes, localities, etc.) may make contributions for all children in a “qualified class” (e.g., all children born in a year, all children in a state, all children nationwide, etc.)."
So Bill Gates via Microsoft could contribute to accounts to kids just in WA state if he wanted. Or Silicon Valley in CA, Disney in FL, etc.

I don't take it as contradictory. What Trump has done here has highlighted GOP state legislators and what they do. Opposing redistricting could lose them seats and no state legislator likes that.
They can claim muh independence or whatever but the basic fact is that if they do not do it, then they are in fact advantaging the Dems whatever their personal reasons.

He said on national TV, on a CBS broadcast that he promised Obama, that if Harris and him came to loggerheads, he would "fake an illness and step down".
He never stepped down for true degradation, probably because the people behind the scenes found Harris to NOT be a better choice.

I think you are on the right track. But it goes beyond that to include immigration, entitlement reform and all the pieces the uniparty used to retain power. Elections had become a somewhat shiny object with results often baked into the cake because of all the somewhat hidden advantages they had put into place and Trump is torpedoing all of them.
Trump is the first non-swamp president we've had since Reagan and he is coloring much further outside the lines than Reagan. They are terrified of him because he's not terrified of them. If you step back from the day to day bullshit it's remarkable how much he's changed the world in a relatively short time.

Sounded to me that the DC politburo started out preferring Harris, though. Biden got backing from the DC elite by promising to let "President Harris" lead. (I flub he made on MORE than one occasion.)
Biden was more MOR, but because of that pulled a better cross-section of the Dem party base. Biden was "drafted" by the base. Harris was a steady ideologue, but in the end, too incompetent to keep her incompetence hidden from the DC politburo.

It was about that way anyway in part because America has become polarized in politics, in part because of GWB and the Iraq War, but more because the US economy (or those of the West in general) has not been beneficial to average citizens. Since the 1960's-70's, the West has seen a few citizens benefit exceptionally from moving to financialization and service based economies, a large upper class that has comfortably increased their worth, and a middle and lower class that is struggling while everything becomes worse for them. The poverty class, however, often makes more from government benefits (PA state report averaged total benefits more than 70k per year during Obama years) than actually working. This props up the Dem pols of ruling class by vote farming. GOP has issued platitudes prior to Trump.

I'm sure some of the senators fit that description. But politics is a complicated business. It will pass the House - probably with unanimous GOP votes. The purging of the old guard GOP in the Indiana legislature is not unlike the purge going on in congress. The House with shorter terms and/or smaller districts move first. All the energy is in the House. Making abortion illegal, greenlighting universal school choice, going after the medical establishment charge masters, wiping out DEI, taking more direct control over the big public universities, is bubbling there.
The Senate is slowly morphing in that direction, but its not there yet.

My personal theory is that these ops are now being orchestrated and financed directly by foreign actors. High on that list is, of course, China.

I used to deal with state legislators and federal before that and all of them want to be reelected. You might enjoy David Mayhew's the Electoral Connection to describe their actions. Any issue or person, whether governor or president, that makes them take hard votes is resented because it might be the vote that causes them to lose power. Same with US Senate GOP not getting rid of the ridiculous and unconstitutional blue slip policy nor changing the filibuster rules for ordinary legislation. It is because GOP desires to avoid hard votes to stay in office and power but disguised as principles.
Essentially our legislative political system has become constipated and unable to actually reform itself because of accumulated outdated laws, rules, and understandings. Our system is also fraught with legalized bribery via donors and government largesse to ngos, jobs to nepots, etc.
It has to change or it will fall. And usually regime failures do not promote a better system but worse. Venezuela is a perfect example as it had its own corrupt uniparty with similar problems before Chavez.

I am 40 years Trump's junior, and I doubt I could keep up with him. That was also true *last* time. I doubt he's going to suffer a long decline like Biden has. When he goes, he's going to go all at once. He has no excess reserves. I know (knew) another old man like him. Slept six hours a night and was out working on his car and felling trees well into his 80s. Then he started taking a daily nap, then it was over inside of a year.

A hiking staff is good for that, seriously. And you can take it with you. A while ago my bedframe broke and my mattress is on the floor and I needed a little leverage. Now my knees are stronger.

Kamala never kept staff much even as a Senator from CA. Seems to be a pattern with POC and AWFLs that they act like they claim white males did during muh patriarchy and muh slavery.
The truth is that anyone regardless of race, ethnicity, or gender can be shitty towards others, it takes little effort to be an asshole to your employees and act like a despot.
But the whole purpose of oppressor oppressed Marxist tripe is to give permission to the new diversity types to lord over the others as sort of some demented payback for imagined and real grievances suffered by other people.
Nasty critters destined for hell because we will all be individually judged on our actions, not based on what our other qualifications may be.

Worst-reviewed. Not lowest-rated. It's Hulu's number one show, at least for now.
A tremendous number of people have tuned in to see if it can actually be as bad as described. Lots of viewers, lots of eyeballs on ads. It's a circus sideshow, but like is normal for circus sideshows, it gets viewers.

I could solve that in a jiffy. I'll start up a Transgender delivery service. When you open your eyes, a "lovely" bearded, mentally unbalanced, fluorescent haired, pin cushioned face is right in front of you to help you start you day.
Of course, there's no Plan B for when you lock yourself in the closet and fall asleep again. But, my obligations would have been fulfilled.

I remember when the asbestos scam was current and they wanted to charge a school millions for updates the 85 or so year old superintendant ripped it all out himself in a couple of days by hand. Possible cancers in 20 years weren't bothering him.

It could be. The last of the *emergency* covid money has finally dried up and the local food pantries are seeing it. SNAP money is gone and everything there has reset with a big bunch of the fraud gone.

Apparently Megan went to Kris Kardashain's Bday party and made the press about her, which with the Kardashians is a no-no. So there isn't going to be a cage match, but Megan has iced herself out of the Kardashian goodwill. Possibly permanently.

It has to change or it will fall. And usually regime failures do not promote a better system but worse. Venezuela is a perfect example as it had its own corrupt uniparty with similar problems before Chavez.

Oh I am not disputing that. Most legislators most pressing job is to get re-elected. I was merely noting where the bump is within the Indiana political system. And the House while being very angry and active - also has lifers budding - but right now they are being very attentive to the voters, and not the State Chamber, or the Hospital lobby, or Big Ed. They are often small business owners, and it is a part time legislature, you don't get paid very much and only work real hard in a budget session (every other year).

It's a conundrum. I'm not sure I want them hiking. Maybe just a daily perambulation. I do want my staff to be fit to serve. But I also want them to be less fit than me so that if we are chased by a bear, I can outrun them.

0900: Reports to office with Starbucks Mocha Soy Chai sweet cream latte firmly in hand.
0905 - 1030: Gossips with co-workers about last night's wine and pot infused hook-ups and who ended up with male/female/trans/whatevers.
1030-1200: Reads WaPo for story ideas and then copies an article about OrangeManBad but changes the words around. Sends to boss.
1200-1400: Lunch in SoHo. Drinks 2 bottles of wine with co-workers and fantasizes about a Newsom Presidency.
1400-1700: Stays busy making dinner reservations, catching a 45 minute power nap, and kissing boss's ass.
Whew! Another bone wrenching day! Damn that slacker Trump!

What is fascism? It comes from Gentile's "Actualism" that "reality" only exists as the outcome from an action. The State embodies collective action. And the State is given as much power as needed to solve the problems as identified and prioritized by the State.
Covid-19 is your "problem". And the only pushback on "as much power as deemed needed" came from the courts citing laws (Thank God for that.) and governors.
If we're "worried about fascism", perhaps we should look at who still thinks 2020 is a "good idea". Who thinks it's still thinks it's a good idea to be "All in this together" (fasces symbolism), keeping people home until they have the government document to move about, or restricting people from the (just recently) "human right" of healthcare without sticking experimental substances in their body?

Self-interest is a law of human nature that your academic theories can try to wish away, but we only transcend it with optimistic schemes, like faith.
Hitler, Mein Kampf, knew that a pragmatic man might struggle to "die for his country" (read political cause), so giving people a "religion" to die for solved that problem. "Men die for what they believe in" (is a sort of paraphrase).
As we lose faith, and settle into a sort of pragmatic futility, that's when self-interest really takes over.
No academic theories that aren't willing to try to give you a "faith", are going to counter that.
Academic theories have to make at least a claim to pragmatics, i.e. addressing "reality", so they their purposes grind against each other, inducing cognitive dissonance, and actually producing disillusion.
Marxism is in no shape "materialism", but he called it "materialism" for the patina of addressing the "real world" at its base.
So just anything that works "like a religion" will do.

The Bushes (41 & 43) both had hyperthyroidism, and something like it may be necessary for success at that level. Apex men in general must have preturnatural resistance to stress, since every alpha has to deal with non-stop status competition from every direction -- it's more of a fractal and situational spectrum than a binary state, so it's relative and constantly re-negotiated -- and Trump is a super-alpha, which means having the most calm/energy of anyone in any room.
I'm not really happy about it, since low-energy, excitable, and easily stressed is basically the opposite of the recipe for high status, but a man needs to know his limitations. The interminable social combat that they take to like a duck to water would be like Hell on Earth to me. I'm just glad we got a guy who can handle it and is fighting for our national thriving, versus a massive transnational clique of grifting locusts that could overstress nearly anyone else.
