Trump Endorses Ken Paxton for Senate
It's a bit late but hopefully it will swing enough votes to put another RINO out on the street outside of MSNOW begging to go on camera for five minutes to pitch his podcast.
Correction: The runoff is next Tuesday, not today as I originally claimed. (I saw a stupid media article saying the runoff was "this week," yesterday.) Thanks to hobbitpoly.Nick SortorMore:
@nicksortor 🚨 BREAKING -- IT'S OFFICIAL: President Trump has endorsed KEN PAXTON in the Republican primary for US Senate in Texas John Cornyn is DOOMED. "I know Ken well, have seen him tested at the highest and most difficult levels, and he is a WINNER! Ken is a Strong Supporter of TERMINATING THE FILIBUSTER and, very importantly, THE SAVE AMERICA ACT"
The Highly Respected Attorney General of Texas, Ken Paxton, an America First Patriot, and someone who has always been extremely loyal to me and our AMAZING MAGA MOVEMENT, is running for the United States Senate, to represent a place I love and WON, BIG, three times, with 6.4 Million Votes in 2024 (The Most Votes in the History of the State, BY FAR)! I know Ken well, have seen him tested at the highest and most difficult levels, and he is a WINNER! Ken is a Strong Supporter of TERMINATING THE FILIBUSTER and, very importantly, THE SAVE AMERICA ACT, something which polls at 87%, including Dumocrats, and yet can't seem to get approved. Perhaps Ken can help move these important elements of Government forward because with the Filibuster, as an example, the Democrats will terminate it on their First Day in Office, giving us two extra States, D.C. and Puerto Rico, and a greatly enlarged Supreme Court of the United States, probably going with their Dream Number of 21 Justices from the 9 that we currently have -- And these new Justices will be Radical Left Lunatics! Two years ago, our Country was DEAD -- Now we have the "HOTTEST" Country anywhere in the World -- And I want to keep it that way. Ken Paxton will help me do that, MAKING AMERICA BIGGER, BETTER, AND STRONGER THAN EVER BEFORE! Ken is a true MAGA Warrior who has ALWAYS delivered for Texas, and will continue to do so in the United States Senate. He will tirelessly fight to continue the Great Growth of our Economy, Cut Taxes and Regulations (I just delivered the Largest Tax and Regulation Cuts in American History!), and Advance MADE IN THE U.S.A., Unleash American Energy DOMINANCE, Champion Texas Oil & Gas, Advocate for our Amazing Farmers and Ranchers, Promote School Choice, Keep our Border SECURE, Stop Migrant Crime, Support our Incredible Military/Veterans, Safeguard our Elections, and Protect our always under siege Second Amendment. John Cornyn is a good man, and I worked well with him, but he was not supportive of me when times were tough and, despite having the Most Successful Economy in the History of our Country during my First Term and, with all of the many other things that I accomplished (Secure Border, Military Dominance, Space Force, All Time High Stock Markets and 401(k)s, Record Job and Economic Growth, and so many other things that would be impossible to readily list!), which are considered by many to be legendary, John was very late in backing me in what turned out to be a Historic Run for the Republican Nomination, and then, the Presidency, itself, both of which were Landslide Victories and, more importantly, gave us the Country that we have today -- THE GOLDEN AGE OF AMERICA (and when we finish up with Iran, which will not be allowed to have a Nuclear Weapon, you will see numbers that have never been generated by our Country before!), as opposed to the DISASTER of the previous Administration. Ken Paxton has gone through a lot, in many cases, very unfairly, but he is a Fighter, and knows how to WIN. Our Country needs Fighters, and also Loyalty to the Cause of Greatness. We can never allow what happened to the United States of America during the Corrupt Biden Administration, to happen again. In Texas alone, just look at the Border, with the Highest Level Criminals allowed to run through your State, totally unvetted and unchecked, through an Open Border Policy that was a Laughingstock all over the World. I came in, and fixed it, IMMEDIATELY. I will not permit those dark and dangerous days to come back! WE HAVE ALREADY MADE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, BUT NOW, WE WANT TO MAKE OUR NATION BETTER THAN EVER BEFORE. Therefore, Ken Paxton has my Complete and Total Endorsement to be the next United States Senator from the Great State of Texas -- KEN PAXTON WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!Should have passed the SAVE Act, Thune. I cannot overstate how important and salutary it is to establish that the voters will discipline and eject nonperforming office-holders who do not vote the way the voters want them to. If this becomes a permanent trend, it will be one of the most important accomplishments of the Trump years.
🚨 HUGE NEWS: President Trump just gave his COMPLETE AND TOTAL ENDORSEMENT to Ken Paxton for U.S. Senate in Texas!

My guesses in no particular order of likelihood:
1) Polling has been moving to Paxton and Trump only sees a high chance of success if he came out today
2) Trump discussed with Paxton and their strategy was to have a dramatic last minute endorsement
3) Trump's negotiations with the GOPe class broke down and he gave them an ultimatum which they turned down

The problem is when the voters stupidly eject a faux-conservative, and in his place bring in a...liberal who lies.
That's what happened in the UK. The lame=ass Tories acted like RINOs for years, and the public wanted mass deportation of illegals, which the Tories wouldn't do, so in response, the public kicked out the Tories and...elected Labour. Who made things 10,000x worse.
We can only hope that doesn't happen in the US< where people get sick of a RINO, but in his place we get a socialist.

Once Trump announces anything, the opposition goes into overdrive playing every card they have. I don't mean the opposing candidate. So a Trump endorsement can then lose total luster.
This "day-of" gave the opposition no time to mount anything. The news cycle is 45 minutes to an hour these days anyway. So it's the equivalent of what used to be an October Surprise. Trump gets the biggest and last word, people go out and vote, and that's the end of that.

No system is perfect but you are looking at two different issues. The tories were voted in to stop immigration and they didn't. So they were voted out to make it clear to them that their voters were serious -- if they would not vote against open borders, then what good are they?
Would it have been a better option to keep them in power in spite of their intransigence? Handing power to Labor was not ideal, but it was the only way to push change. There are reasons for this I wont go into here.

No system is perfect but you are looking at two different issues. The tories were voted in to stop immigration and they didn't. So they were voted out to make it clear to them that their voters were serious -- if they would not vote against open borders, then what good are they?
Posted by: bob - moron inbobnitus at May 19, 2026 01:41 PM (NmBEt)
The Brexit voters in the UK knew what they were doing by punishing the Tories for that betrayal. They needed time for Reform to grow into a complete national contender so they abandoned the Tories who were crushed. Many of the Tories have now joined Reform, and may be getting squishy so Restore is growing to be a right side contender. The huge win for Labor was an illusion since all the parties colluded to give them seats - their actual vote totals remained static. Now the work for any elections now is to crush Labor.

That's what happened in the UK. The lame=ass Tories acted like RINOs for years, and the public wanted mass deportation of illegals, which the Tories wouldn't do, so in response, the public kicked out the Tories and...elected Labour. Who made things 10,000x worse.

The Labour vote in 2024 was no larger than it was in the 2019 election. The Conservative vote was split between the Tories and Reform and that allowed Labour to win a large number of seats they ordinarily wouldn't have.

*********************************
The Labour Party only won one-third of the vote in Britain's 2024 election, but this translated into almost two-thirds of the seats due to the rest of the vote being so deeply split between the other parties. In particular, the Reform Party won 14% of the vote but only 4 seats, with its votes being spread diffusely, while the Conservative Party had large declines in its share of both votes and seats.

If I recall correctly from the Federalist Papers, the US founders considered this kind of problem and why they structured the US legislature to be able to react quickly to changing voter priorities with the House, giving the public a chance to stop the madness very quickly. This is also why the main goal of all parts of all branches is to stop things, not to push things through.

I was trying to decide on Texas AG. Roy seems like a buffoon, but generally reliable for TX (albeit he's stupidly crossed Trump some). Middleton seems more competent but the marketing and most endorsements all ringout RINO / turncoat to me. Abbott endorsed Middleton so I'm going with Roy... Deciding that "Texas Conservative Review" is a uniparty grift so basically voting against everyone they endorse... Which included Cornyn.

Voting around here is kind of a ridiculous Rube Goldberg machine. They look up your name and give you a code number which you tell someone who gives you an electronic card. They insert card in a slot on a computer, then they take the card back out. You then vote using that computer.
After you finish voting you press a button on the computer to print out your vote. Next you walk your printout paper to another person that has you feed it into a second machine that "reads" the vote.
I'm actually surprised they don't have a crank geared to a wheel with boots that kick a guy on a unicycle playing a tuba at some point.

It’s not true. That claim comes from the people who listen to the Dems who say Talerico will be “popular” because he talks about Jesus and pretends to be a pastor - even though he says Jesus hates guns and BBQ ribs, and that all illegal aliens should be welcomed and given free housing. Oh and he said that if Mary would have aborted Jesus that would’ve been just fine because God loves abortion.
Yes, that’s who they think is going to give Paxton a close race.

Ken Paxton is wildly unpopular. This is good news
1) love to see it because another "moderate" GOP enabler eats shit publicly.
2) because Talarico's chances should be better against Paxton and this sews that up as the general election matchup.
Trump is going to spend the rest of his life clearing out the old guard from the GOP, and EVERY one of them will think they won't be next until it happens. It's incredible.
Does any state have it worse than here? Can anyone else beat Ted Cruz and Ken Paxton as your two senators?
Alternate headline: Trump puts Texas in play for Dems. Assumming Abbott doesn't purge me from the roles again, I'm looking forward to voting for Talerico

I rather doubt that about Texas. Early voting is in-person and you have to show ID just like on election day. Mail-in voting is available for a restricted group (elderly, disabled).
One of the reasons I vote early is that I AM eligible for mail-in voting and I vote early and in person so that if a someone submits a mail-in in my name, it will get flagged as fraudulent.

"Teen Takeovers" Are Now Common in Blue Cities; Media Begins Pushing Idea That Violent Teen Orcs Don't Need Jail Time, Just "Youth Centers" They Can Fight In and Destroy Instead of Chipotles
Blue cities have allowed rowdy, often violent "teens" to take over the streets and private citizens' businesses for more than a year.
The "teens" are often "mostly peaceful." Blue cities do not arrest them or prosecute them because they've decided that minorities, especially "teen" minorities, are generally immune to the law. And how's that going?A gang of violent juveniles has been captured on video involved in a wild all-out brawl in a Washington, DC, Chipotle outlet Saturday night with chairs alternatively being thrown and used as weapons as the wild melee unfolded. In the background shrieks can be heard from those forced to watch the delinquent fisticuffs on display. A spokesperson with the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) has since said they are aware of this incident and are investigating, ABC 7News reports. Ken Ledet, who lives in the Navy Yard, told 7News he has seen chaotic scenes like this in recent months. "It's not shocking anymore, since this has become routine on Saturdays and Friday nights, but it's disappointing to know this is still happening," Ledet told the outlet.This is feral:
Massive brawl broke out Friday night at a Chipotle in the Navy Yard area. pic.twitter.com/xqZTliXWvK

The media knows what we need to do: More Midnight Basketball, more taxpayer spending on Youth Centers so that the Mostly Peaceful Teens can riot in government-supervised settings. We used to have Youth Centers for violent young orcs. They were called juvenile detention centers.
The "teen takeovers" are obviously not a venue problem, they're a behavior problem. You can hang out at Chipotle without fighting. You can even hang out in the street without fighting. It's patronizing and unhelpful to take this seriously just because kids say it. pic.twitter.com/gL0OmzEBt7

Jhonf FonsecaOh I see, she means that if your kid is a "teen takeover" criminal, she'll start enforcing truancy/child neglect laws against you. I guess.
@Jhonffonseca 21h
IT'S OFFICIAL AND WITHOUT MERCY! U.S. Prosecutor Jeanine Pirro declares total war against parents who let their delinquent kids loose to destroy Washington D.C. "I'm not one for subtleties! The people of DC are already fed up with this scourge." "I'm coming for you... and for your parents!" "From now on, Mom and Dad, YOU'RE GOING TO FOOT THE BILL!" "If you let your kid run loose committing crimes, we'll prosecute you as a direct accomplice." No excuses allowed: "I didn't know...", "It's hard to control him...", "I was on my phone...". STRICT LIABILITY! If your teenager breaks curfew, skips school, uses drugs or alcohol, ignores court orders, or commits offenses like the attack at Chipotle, the law comes crashing down on you too! Clear message to parents of delinquent kids: it's no longer just "a youth problem." The problem is the parents who raise them like wild animals and let them loose to destroy the city. Family impunity is over!

Race to watch are the two GA Supreme Court races and the one Court of Appeals race. Because they are non partisan, Democrats are of course trying to steal them including having Stacey Abram's sister as district judge concealing judicial ethics complaints until the 11th circuit ended her injunction preventing it from being told to voters.

The key, mostly, was to vote for the incumbent judges as gaptooth's charges were being inserted to replace the incumbents. But yeah, lots of dirty shenanigans on the judge votes. I also avoided any of Kemp's boys. F them and all his minions.

"Oh, we can't let the children suffer from the poor choices of adults!!!"
So we have to give welfare to irresponsible people who are birthing these feral youth.
NO. We need more children wondering where their next meal is coming from. We need more children growing up uncomfortable so that when they grow up, they never want to live in that environment again.
Instead, the biggest dream in the ghetto is to birth a number of children and get your dream ticket to do nothing but sit on welfare.
Enough. We need tough love and these people DO need to suffer, for their own good.

As soon as the teen center or community pool closes, a horde of unsupervised yoots descends on the store like locusts, grabbing whatever they want off the shelves and hopping into the night.
The idea that the teen center is the solution is absurd and intentionally obtuse. In fact, they often have the exact opposite effect. They are the nexus of this sort of bad behavior.

You see this across the country in nearly every inner city. Programs get defunded so kids don’t have any healthy outlets. Consequently, they end up wandering outside of their neighborhoods in search of something to do then everyone loses their minds when the “undesirables” show up.
The privatization of schools is a larger issue than many realize—charter schools don’t tend to offer the same extra curricular options that public schools do.
And the money spent on those programs gets put into police budgets, thereby enabling the state to lock up kids for crimes related to “we’re fucking bored”.
The obvious problem is indeed the problem. I sincerely hope that the "throw them in jail" crowd learns that the solution to "crime" is community investment.

They do this intentionally in the hood. There are like five uniforms they'll all wear. When the cops get called over a yoot wearing a dark hoodie in the area of X, everybody matches the description and the yoot gets away. When the cops actually try to stop and interview a few of the yoots, the community organizers scream racism.
Ask any hood activist and they'll tell you racist cops use the phrase, "You matched the description" to harass innocent black people.

(Google or whatever Restorative Justice in the USA)
In part, Restorative justice in the U.S. shifts the focus of the justice system from traditional punishment to repairing the harm caused by crime. By bringing together victims, offenders, and community members in facilitated dialogues, it emphasizes accountability, healing, and reintegration rather than just incarceration.
Core Principles: Instead of asking "What law was broken and how should the offender be punished?, "restorative justice asks: Who was harmed? What are their needs?Whose obligation is it to meet those needs? It relies on five key elements of accountability: acknowledging responsibility, understanding the impact on others, expressing remorse, actively repairing the harm, and committing to not re-offending.
Began for youth, has moved to include adult offenders and victim support.
Huge in some states - such as Pennsylvania - and some cities - such as Philly - and in the collar counties.
"Studies indicate" Restorative Justice Programs reduce recidivism rates by an estimated 10% to 25% compared to traditional punitive methods. 😒

That's what I said months ago because I figured that if he endorsed anybody, it would be Cornyn because he was trying to buy support for SAVE. But it's too late for that now. I still think Cornyn could have had that endorsement if only he'd been willing to do the easiest thing in the world for it -- support a bill that 80% of Americans want.

So, uh--and I'm not even sure on this--but the whole Chud the Builder may have a "you monsters created that monster" backstory.
Something about a road rage incident, unsure who precipitated.
But he dropped the N on a black woman.
And from the local BLM has hounded him out of every job.
Even self-employed.
Which is suggested is why he went the racist shock-jock social media route.

Not to mention, Planned Parenthood, et. al. having abortion clinics readily available. Liberal white women always cite the unfairness to women of color when arguing for Planned Parenthood. If only they used it, but no, it's the liberal white women who help them ply their trade.
I actually don't think it's as much that they have kids because they get paid for it. I think it's more that if they have kids, they will get paid, so what's the risk? They also want to have babies because they have little else in their lives. My theories. YMMV.

Combine it with Trump's deportation strategy.

In a sense, that's what we did in the 90s and 2000s. Three strikes laws took most of the criminals off the streets, not because of the crime for which they were charged, but it didn't matter. Most crime is committed by a small subset of the pop. Get them off the streets, and crime plummets. Release them, and mirabile dictu, it goes back up.

There is an interesting subset of this with sex crimes.
Like all other violent crime it is a tiny fraction of the population but they will keep doing it regularly when they are not in prison.
Now feminists will tell you "all men" are rapists. But if you put the 1% of men that are away rape will almost disappear. And here's where it gets interesting - if you suggest life imprisonment for any actual average rapist feminists will call you rayciss...but that or 3 strikes or any variant on long prison terms for real sex crimes would end the problem and feminists are not interested in solving the problem...

You make examples of a few, that feral people will be taken out of society.
You try a few as adults and go for max sentence. Apparently, "Rondale" should be easy to find, b/c the girls knew him and called him out on video, so he's example #1. And then hit the girls for obstruction and max sentence if any deny knowing him and won't tell you where he is.

We like people who share our values. It's not because they're black that we have contempt for mob behavior but because such behavior is repulsive to normal, productive people. The fact that such mobs are almost never white is a secondary consideration.
Let's not kid ourselves, though. If criminal behavior is associated strongly enough with an identifiable group, e.g. blacks, people start to just assume they're all or mostly criminal. Those who say otherwise are lying. It has a foundation in fact, but obviously is unfair to those who aren't criminals.

Boeing was FINALLY ordered to remediate the residual radiation to background levels -- MrBurns agreed.
Guess what? a week after they removed the fire equipment on site, the Woolsey fire ignited and did infact remediate the residual radiation to background levels by distributing it *everywhere*.

The Morning Rant
Earlier this year, iRobot, the company that made the Roomba, filed for bankruptcy and was sold off to a Chinese supplier. The cause was a decision made in Brussels, three years ago, to block Amazon’s rescue offer. Thusly, an American company was regulated out of existence by a foreign bureaucracy. A Chinese competitor inherited the spoils, which is a fair summary of how the European Union’s (EU) so-called consumer protections work in the real world. iRobot is no isolated case. The EU has built an entire regulatory architecture for precisely this purpose, with two pieces of legislation: the Digital Markets Act (DMA) and the Digital Services Act (DSA), marketed as consumer protection but functioning as industrial policy directed at firms headquartered in the United States. In fact, five of the seven companies Brussels has designated as “gatekeepers” under the DMA are American. European competitors, on the other hand, are usually spared, and Chinese firms face notably lighter compliance pressure. It’s hardly an accident.
This is a direct challenge to the sovereignty and economic leadership of America, and a nakedly partisan attempt to create through regulation what Europe is unable to do with innovation. The EU and its mandarins are content to be overtaken by China, invaded by 3rd world Muslim hordes, and bought out by Gulf oil money. But competing with America and Americans? That is a bridge too far. Europe is probably too far gone, but the Western Hemisphere is not, and an American-led regulatory structure that rewards innovation and hard work, and allows market forces to operate, will create the foundation for the economies on our side of the oceans to dominate. The triad of Marco Rubio at State, Howard Lutnick at Commerce, and Scott Bessent at Treasury, understands this very well, and they should expand their pressure on our hemispheric partners to change the paradigm of the zero-sum economic game that the EU insists upon playing.

Have I got a deal for you!
There is a sports bar in Portland called "The Sports Bra", which shows only women's sports. It's been around since 2022.
It has received millions of dollars of free publicity, and they are doing crowdfunding to take the concept nationwide - to thirty other cities!
This is your big chance to cash in - just $250 is enough to buy a piece of the Sports Bra!
If you actually read the financial statement that comes with the crowdfunding proposal, you discover that:
1) The Sports Bra has never made money.
2) As the novelty has worn off, The Sports Bra has been losing increasing amounts of money over time.
No matter - this is your big chance to get in on the ground floor!
It's like investing in Amazon in 1999!

Europe is too far gone. If you've worked with Europeans in the last 20 years you know that they have adapted a culture of utter laziness and entitlement. That culture has been enabled by the largesse and kind heart of the United States of America that has shielded them from danger since WWII and allowed them to spend their time and money on gaywad "cultural" pursuits and not the creation of anything that is actually valuable to commerce.
Forget Canada.
Saving LATAM might be possible. There are some green shoots with non-communists getting elected in a couple of countries and we should be doing everything we can to bolster those governments and show them that capitalism is the way forward, not the bone-lazy socialist bullshit that a LOT of that region has grown to know and love.

Heh. Funny enough I saw a post on Reddit of some “influencer” on X saying nobody wants “boomer houses”, ie 3000 sq ft homes with yards and those houses will drop in value going forward.
Keep in mind this was Reddit, where urbanism lunatics thrive. And even there most replies were along the lines of I’d love a 3000 sq ft home with a big yard, I just can’t afford one right now.
Problem is urbanists are like vegans. Small in number but extremely loud. The average person doesn’t want to live like a sardine.

The building is being built to withstand missile and drone attacks, with several floors underground that will serve as a defense system for the President and cabinet members. The ballroom that sits atop the underground network will be paid by President Trump and donors; the government funding is for the military defense complex that will sit underground approximately six stories down.

Except in big blue urban downtowns where commercial real estate prices are cratering because they don't have enough clients. So as the downtown offices empty, there will also be less need for downtown housing because there are fewer people living downtown. Suburban housing will continue its march higher and higher.

The US has 11 nuclear powered supercarriers
Europe has none. What they DO have is:
* UK has 2 supercarriers, but not nuclear powered
* France has a nuclear powered carrier, but it's half the size of a supercarrier
* A few other European countries have something that passes for a carrier, even smaller than the Frence carrier. VSTOL stuff.
Europe has a bigger population that the US, and is supposedly as modern and industrailized as anyplace.

Italians have their positive side
"You buy an Italian anvil. The website is gorgeous and almost entirely non-functional. After three failed checkout attempts you call the number listed and a man named Gianni answers on the second ring, remembers your name halfway through the conversation despite never having met you, and explains that his cousin will deliver it personally next Tuesday because the courier company “non è serio.” It arrives Wednesday. It is breathtaking — sculpted, almost — with a curve along the waist that serves no functional purpose but makes you want to weep. The base is slightly uneven. Gianni explains this is intentional. You are not entirely sure he’s lying."

Quibbling on the difference in price and value.
A home may maintain its value while the overall price of homes may decrease or increase.
As it is now, we are in a false market driven by entities such as Blackrock buying homes by the tranche then artificially driving up the price coupled with Knum Knutz Powell driving up the interest rate.
This gets straightened out the price of homes will decrease, however, their value may be retained.

The new cunning plan by developers is conversion of those office towers into living residences. But it doesn't work unless you can force people back into cities because it is extremely expensive and people don't want to live in urban Democrat shitholes. So using the hideous idea of Cass Sunstein, you 'nudge' people into that by more or less preventing development outside the city--expensive gas, high taxes levied on suburbs, discouraging families, getting more immigration and directing it into suburbs and rural areas.
That is where the new urbanism crap is coming from, well heeled developers pay their commie new urbanists to push these ideas to political leaders.

Actually, lower rates drive home prices higher since they institutional borrowers like Blackstone get the very best rates and use that to buy up real estate to rent back at a good profit. They also get to use the houses they owe money on and are renting as further collateral and using those loans they can outbid people who have to get loans based on their income, which drives prices higher.

Interest rates are the price of buying money, just like the cost of buying a car on installment plans.
The difference is that if the government decided to force the price of cars extremely low "to make sure everyone had transportation to improve the economy" then eventually we would run out of cars available to buy - and when it is interest rates forced low, the Fed and the Treasury can just "print" more money

European Union consumer protections grant robust rights—including strong return policies, safe product standards, and limits on unfair practices—which currently apply to displaced Ukrainians within the EU.
Furthermore, Ukraine is actively harmonizing its domestic laws with EU directives, granting Ukrainians additional protections like the "Roam Like at Home" telecom framework.
European support is actively transforming Ukraine into the continent's preeminent military and technological powerhouse, driven by its unmatched combat experience.

Dali designed a pavilion at the 39-40 NY World's Fair that featured topless mermaids swimming about. It was not the only topless attraction there. There was an outdoor exhibit of ladies with no tops doing such things as playing badminton, sunning themselves, etc. Billed as a naturist thing. Most of the girls were from burlesque houses, which were still popular at the time. Admission was extra.

Flaming Giraffe 2028!
All ART is the essential expression of the way life could and should be of EVERY CULTURE in EVERY ERA.
LIB are is the epitome of depravity and disintegration perfectly reflecting the state of their inner being, whose sole purpose is to Reward the Guilty, Punish the Innocent and Champion the mediocre, the Unworthy the DEPRAVED on the basis of their Depravity.
They do (believe and ascribe to) this as an act of naked depraved revenge because Life have Purpose and Meaning, they seek and enact Moral Vandalism as proof and erroneous vindication of the Power of Evil over Good.
A World Safe for Socialism is a world where the dead, the Dying, the DISSENTING are carted away in boxcars that rumble night and day to smokestacks that billow without end to heat the bathwaters of their elite who pit Man against other men until we exist no more -- not becaues they themselves are evil -- but because they are SUPREMELY BORED -- and this ART PIECE epitomizes that, daring you to call it the absolute crap that it is -- much like the b'wannabe Damien Thorne-like nepo-LIB art of Hunter Biden... no less!

Most of Dali's art, and many other 20th century 'critically acclaimed paintings, are why so much of the art of the period leaves me cold with the ugly and nihilistic content. Think I'll go look at some Andrew Wyeth or his dad's illustrations for enjoyable 20th century art.

Indeed, the only, purpose of artisans like this and those that support them is to perpetuate the moral inversion of the worthless being highly value. ask yourself Why?
In any collaboration between good and evil it only evil which benefits.
In any conflict between good and evil it is the more consistent who will prevail.
The basic subtext behind the LIB strategic insanity and their philosophy is STOP ME IF YOU THINK YOU CAN while they arm themselves with every vile principle imaginable.
The world is the way it is not because they aren't free to live that way and let nature (and evolution) take its course to eradicate themselves from future history; no, it is this way because at some fundamental level they understand that they are wrong, and experience FEAR for having abandoned their only means of survival, and GUILT because they know that they have done so willingly. and they plan to TAKE YOU WITH THEM!
That the only common ground between good and evil is to put you in it.

YOUR THOUGHTS? EX POLICE OFFICER CHARGED FROM FATAL ON DUTY SHOOTING. A former Hartford Police CT officer is now facing a first-degree manslaughter charge after the 2026 shooting death of a 55-year-old man armed with a large knife. Investigators say officers spent several minutes trying to talk the man down.
Police reportedly gave dozens of commands for him to drop the knife and even attempted to use a taser before it failed.
The man began walking toward Officer Magnano who then fired. The Connecticut Office of the Inspector General ruled the shooting was NOT justified. The Hartford Police Union strongly disagrees, saying the officer was facing an armed suspect who refused repeated commands. The suspect was told 62 times to drop the knife. This case is sparking heated debate across the country. The former officer turned himself in and was released on a $50,000 bond. He is expected in court on June 5.

By "generations" they mean ... since the early 2000s or later.
Dem Ann Richards was governor of TX until W in 1995.
The TX house didn't flip to Dem until 2003--and even since then to now, the R speaker has won, not by solely caucus votes but by buying Dem votes.
yes, "generations" of Republican control all across the South.
BTW, 2031 redistricting in the South is going to wipe out the last of the state-level Dems--all of those were under unconstitutional rulings.
We'll see super-majority R in nearly every Southern state.

Who just filed a lawsuit for local QB Sorsby, an injunction to reinstate his eligibility.
As he admitted he had a gambling "addiction."
But.
Here's what Dustin argued: the action is taken "because of the NCAAs wholesale abandonment of its obligations and duties to promote the well-being" of Sorsby.
It goes on and on in that vein.

Salvador Dalí
Well...okay. It's art.
But my overriding though is: "So what?"
---
Egad! Would not be on the wall with Dr. Syn (1981).
Painted by Salvador Dalí in 1937, Inventions of the Monsters is a haunting surrealist masterpiece. Prophetic in tone, Dalí created the canvas in Austria just before the outbreak of World War II. Today, you can view this renowned artwork in person at the Art Institute of Chicago in Illinois.
Symbolic Breakdown: In a telegram to the Art Institute of Chicago in 1943, Dalí provided a direct, symbolic breakdown of the strange entities within the dreamscape: The Flaming Giraffe: Represents a masculine apocalyptic monster. Horse-Women: Act as maternal river monsters. The Cat-Angel: Depicts a divine heterosexual monster. The Hourglass: Represents a metaphysical monster. Dalí and Gala: Stand on the right as the "sentimental monster," alongside a nearly invisible, fading little blue dog.
---
Salvador Dalí’s knowledge of war was not based on being a soldier, but rather on direct exposure to political violence and a profound psychological obsession with death and suffering.
Dali was full of crap & likely a perv, imho.

Yes, because depravity and its carrier Moral Vandalism spreads as a contagion, whereas in ordinary circumstance a simple "NO" (or silence) to express disagreement with a lifestyle and circumstance is suffiicent -- in extraordinary times (LIKE NOW) such silence is taken as tacit approval -- and such dissaproval as worthy enough reason for others to stand up to actively sponsor and defend the very people who under other circumstance might murder you with a laugh (and that with a smile) if they could get away with it...
which through their art they are -- to put you in it.
to seize the unearned, and demand the undeserved... your silence and tacit approval. while they sit back with a knowing smile.

It's crazy how she says the most simple truths, and everyone excoriates her for being some kind of radical.
The party as a whole needs to lean into messaging that billionaires are trying to make you hate your neighbor so they can steal from you. The true "welfare queens" are the billionaires. They benefit from the systems and infrastructure the most while giving back the least or none at all.
Taxing them isn't punishing them, it's just demanding they reinvest their stolen assets back into the economy they keep taking from. We the people need to remind them heavy taxation was the compromise.
Really hope she runs for president. She might naturalize all the undocumented people and then let them vote and democrats would never lose again. Hope she runs on there are no illegals on stolen land as her main talking point.

"The Devil Wears Prada 2".
If you've seen and are a fan of TDWP, then you know what to expect, lots of fru-fru people and concerns, lots of low level conflict and gay cattiness reqardless of whether they're teh ghey or not, and fabulous couture. Oh, and everyone turns out to be okay in the end.
It has Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt who are easy to look at and who I like as actresses so it wasn't too painful, but...This is a GIRLY movie with a capital G.
One of the reasons to see this movie, is that it's an almost perfect distillation of the world-view of Our Betters.
These fabulous people live fabulous lives with fabulous money because they deserve it. You see, they have dedicated their lives to beauty and art, and have made sacrifices!!!!.
Or so, we're told in different ways several times.
Oh and they are good, good, goody-good-good people because they care about- They care so much! and occasionally write about clean water for Africa or some such thing.
And yet, they never ever would sacrifice one bit or one minute of their conspicuous consumption.

Genghis Khan and his soldiers attacked a tiny village and took all the villagers prisoners, then decided to play a game.
He blindfolded all the women and ordered the men to strip and stand in line.
Each woman had to go down the line and attempt to identify her husband by his penis. If she got it wrong, both would be executed.
The first woman kept touching the penises until she found her husband's and declared it.
Genghis was disappointed.
Second woman, same thing. She readily identified her husband's penis.
Now Genghis got really pissed. He stripped down and got in line himself.
The third woman started. "Not him" , "Not him", Not him either"...
This continued until she touched Genghis's penis. She stopped for a while and thought really hard
"Not from our village" she muttered and moved on...

He is also doing it on X but his youtube presentations are better. He is responding and sometimes baiting idiots on X which ups his engagement count coincidentally.
It boils down to this--self defense is a justification defense which means that the tables are flipped. You have to meet a statutory burden of proof as a defendant to claim it. When you claim self defense, then you no longer can claim the other dude did it or some other dude did it, you have to be a 'true man', admit you shot (assaulted, etc.) someone which is admitting a crime.
Next you have to provide under the totality of circumstances, to a judge and jury, that you were justified in your exercise of force (or implied force) to prevent serious injury or death to you from assailant(s). The laws vary somewhat across states but that is the gist of it.

The Morning Report — 5/ 19/26
The alleged gunmen in a shooting rampage that left three people dead outside a San Diego mosque have been identified as 17-year-old Cain Clark and 18-year-old Caleb Velasquez, according to a law enforcement source. At least one of the suspects took a weapon from their parents’ home and left a suicide note that talked about racial pride, a law enforcement source told The Post. Clark attended Madison High School and was a standout wrestler, according to the school’s social media page. His grandfather, David Clark, 78, said: ”We’re very sorry for what happened. We know as much as you do. It’s a shock.” Clark and Velasquez were found dead inside a BMW from self-inflicted gunshot wounds only a few blocks from the Islamic Center of San Diego. Anti-Islamic writings were found in the suspects’ vehicle and “hate speech” was written on the firearms used in the shooting, according to the source.Let me state in no uncertain terms that this is absolutely horrendous to anyone who believes in and desires to live in a civilized society. Speaking of which, my personal feelings and opinions about Islam are no secret to anyone who has read my columns and listened to me speak on the podcast over these past few years and for sure as an American, a Jew and as one who is a student of history. Islam was, is, and a highly unlikely reformation of its core tenets regarding those whom it considers infidels and subhuman, notwithstanding, always will be a violent tyrannical totalitarian death cult that will seek the conquest of humanity and the world, as it has done for nearly 1500 years. Does that mean I advocate or implore anyone who reads and hears my words to go out and do what these two maniacs did, absolutely no. But to be a follower of Islam is to go out and commit the most abhorrent acts of violence or at the very least to cheer on those who do, as we saw on the rooftops of Jersey City as the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center collapsed into flaming heaps and in Israel in the wake of the October 7 mass wave assault from Gaza. Those being but two examples of the oceans of blood and tears spilled in the name of advancing Islam. The question of course is how to prevent these things from happening in the first place. Since Islam is not compatible and indeed completely antithetical to civilized society, further immigration to the west of Muslims should cease, and any attempts to impose Sharia law or to establish Islamic jurisdictions/political boundaries/communities et al as is being attempted in Texas among other places must be resisted by every LEGAL means necessary. Of course the Democrat/Left will interpret/bastardize my words, which echo individuals such as Robert Spencer, Pam Geller and others into "Go out and shoot up mosques or hunt down Muslims!" Shoot up a synagogue, a church, a Christmas parade and get a pat on the back. And on a not entirely unrelated note, there's this:
A trio of bloodthirsty fans of accused assassin Luigi Mangione — who were granted press passes by City Hall — spouted vile hate and unapologetic calls for political violence from a Manhattan courthouse steps Monday.
Self-proclaimed “Mangionistas” Abril Rios, Ashley Rojas and Lena Weissbrot proudly showed off the passes they received from Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s administration, apparently for their online content documenting Mangione’s upcoming trial for the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
But the credentialed “reporters” chillingly made no bones about supporting Mangione’s alleged vendetta to strike fear into the hearts of healthcare executives such as Thompson.

We know how to do it, but in order to do it you need boots on the ground.
Essentially we need to do the equivalent of what we did in Venezuela, capture their leaders, install our own puppet, let the CIA run the joint.
This dicking around is becoming embarrassing.

They shot a security guard at A MOSQUE!!!!! This shows that poor muslims are in danger from WHITE PEEPO!!!! And then they killed themselves so as to prevent being questioned which will allow the media to run whatever speculative stories they choose.

This is true, but given the alternatives, Venezuela being in our control is preferable to it being in China's control.
WRT Iran, the goal was a disarmed Iran and neutered mullahs.
I don't really think we've achieved those goals and the conflict dragging on is going to cause political problems for Trump and Republicans generally.

This is a sentiment that I fear will be repeated and amplified as the summer goes on. Analytically, many voters know that an atomic Iran is a danger to the ME and the world. But most people do not vote analytically, they vote with their pocketbooks.
The Dems are salivating over the chance to point at gas prices and sneer, "Trump did that!" And he can expect no support from the GOP or the MFM. He needs to address this problem very soon and in very practical terms, or the midterms are lost.

This is probably the least important observation on this tragedy, but I can’t understand why a man would father a son at the age of 61. Not a good idea IMHO…. Energy diminishes with age and who can expect to chase after and manage a teenager well into their 70s. Unless the 78 was a typo… but my gosh if that’s true I might say it’s at least a tiny part of why the son went astray….

You are quite correct. But this will require concentrated military action, including but not limited to eliminating Irans remaining drone and missile capacity, eliminating the rest of their small missile boats, and seizing control of the small islands in this gulf. These steps alone would significantly lower the oil prices and their effects that you note.
But Trump has now decided that Macron and Starmer were right, and that the US should never undertake any military action unless we have the permission of the rest of the world first.

Feeling very low this morning. It's sad to have to face up to knowing that the things that mean the most to me, that engage my interest or that I can be proud of mean nothing to other people and talking about them bores or irritates them.
I have to do my duty but I'm increasingly withdrawing into my own private world and no longer see much reason to interact with others beyond being polite.

It looks to me like Trump finally realized the folly of his little neo-con adventure, sees a disaterous midterms and is deperately seeking a way out.
I don't even blame whichever neocons talked him into this. I blame Trump for falling for it and betraying the anti-neocon stance he's held since 2015.

Finding a community of people that shares interests with you can be hard. It was easier pre-covid when people got together in person more.
But it can be done - find local meetup/facebook/volunteer groups.

Most estimates put the max at ... 18.
That was before redistricting.
Wave elections of the past, before both parties got so good at computer modeling, would see 40+ seats flip.
2024 was a wave election. Trump would have swept in 20-40 seats minimum if it was 20 years ago.
Instead, the R's flipped ... 8.
Four of those were wins by nearly 20 points and up.
For Dems to flip the House now, they need a minimum of +10 on the generic ballot.
And wouldn't you know it, suddenly polls are "showing" exactly that.
If you want to see how badly redistricting has hurt the Dems, there's your actual proof ....

Kuwait’s oil production has been almost completely shut down, and in spite of talk about other methods of shipping oil, the output of the UAE and most of Iraq’s production is also severely curtailed. That’s what comes back online even if Irans production doesn’t.
Iran’s oil, for years, has gone primarily to China.

It's not just that, it's that no Iranian oil is entering the market. Iran produces around 4 5% of the world's oil and someone will need to fill that hole.
Trump can obviously level Iran but he's not. He's also obviously not afraid to go beast mode so he must have a reason he is trying to do this without completely destroying Iran. Perhaps he doesn't want to create another failed state in the ME because we all know what happens in failed Muslim states. People can say that's the Middle Easts problem but we all also know how that always works out.

The people behind this evil demonizing of Muslims are the same pieces of shit that have socially engineered against Black people, queer people, women etc.
Right wing Islamophobia is real and in full swing. Had breakfast with my super conservative father today and he is more concerned about “Muslims taking over America than data centers and billionaires”. Right wing propaganda is wild.

True. Another consideration. Probably a big topic of discussion between Trump and Xi last week, particularly since Trump already took Xi's other gas station in Venezuela and China's economy is teetering.
But if there is no more Iran oil China will forced to buy elsewhere, it's not like they are going to stop needing oil.

The official statement from the White House as to why the attack planned for today, which Hegseth and CENTCOM had strongly advocated for, said that it was called off because Kuwait, the UAE, and Pakistan were unhappy about it. It didn’t mention the Qatari’s, but I’m sure they were quite pleased to see it called off as well.

I believe those two "demands" from the IRGC (who's now effectively in control of the country) are what we keep coming back to after a new set of demands are set.
Trump may have fallen for it once, but not twice. He does, passionately, want a deal however.
And, FWIW, every day this drags on is another day that strains the EU, China and Russia. And demonstrates that the US is not, yet, totally "energy independent."

My 9 year old adopted dog died yesterday.
He'd torn the ligaments in his back knee and we were waiting for his scheduled surgery in 2 weeks.
He may have had some other issues, idk.
But I really wasn't ready to see him like that when I went down to check on him at noon.

It was about this time in 2024, IIRC, that most of us we're bitching that Trump wasn't going after Biden hard enough.
And why-oh-why did he agree to a debate so early?
And all the media was projecting Biden to coast to easy reelection.
And then, while we were all complaining he wasn't going after Kamala aggressively enough, that she too was going to win ... Trump was already vetting his cabinet.
Let Trump cook, I think he knows what he's doing.

Thank you for following this so closely Muldoon. These crazy judges are risking care for the entire patient population, playing chicken with HHS. In the article, I was particularly struck with how important Medicaid is to the system:
According to the court, CHC received $182.6 million in funding in 2024, mostly from the federal government. Almost half of the hospital’s patients were Medicaid enrollees. As a result, losing federal funding could have a significant impact on the hospital.

"About two hours before the shooting was reported, police received a call from Clark's mother who reported her son and vehicle missing, alongside several of her weapons, San Diego Police Chief Scott Wahl said.
The mother said her son was suicidal and was with a companion, both dressed in camouflage, Wahl said, which triggered a "large threat assessment picture." ...
A suicide note in one suspect's parents' home contained writings about racial pride, and "hate speech was scrawled on one of the weapons that was used in the shooting, the officials said. The specifics of the language were not immediately clear. "But there was no specific threat to any place mentioned in the note and weapons of one of the suspects who attacked the Islamic Center of San Diego, Wahl said."
"There was no specific threat, especially no specific threat to the Islamic Center, It was just general hate kind of speech that I think covered a wide gamut," he said. "Again, we are still actively investigating this as we speak, but it was more generalized."

"Clark had been on track to graduate and had no disciplinary history except in elementary school, when he punched someone in the leg in 2015, (James Canning, a spokesperson for San Diego Unified School District) Canning said." CNN ^
The 18-year-old individual who was with Cain Clark during the May 18, 2026, shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego was identified by law enforcement and media sources as Caleb Vazquez (also spelled Velasquez). Both teenagers were found dead inside a vehicle a few blocks from the mosque. NBC News
There's little else about Vazquez with some exception, such as: Facebook, News for Black Community, 11 hrs, has pictures from 2015 and 2016, reported to be Vazquez. There's also this: "According to investigators, anti-Islam writings were discovered inside the suspects’ vehicle following the attack.

Daily Tech News 19 May 2026
Top Story
- Intel has started shipping Nova Lake... Engineering samples. (WCCFTech)
Linked from that article is a tweet that announces the news and pronounces AMD's Zen 6 dead on arrival because Nova Lake is just so much faster.
Not mentioned in the tweet (but listed in the article) is that the full dual-die models of Nova Lake will consume up to 700W.
Tech News
- Intel has also started shipping - for real - its low-end Wildcat Lake CPUs. (WCCFTech)
One of the first laptops with this chip is the Chuwi Unibook priced at just $449.
That's with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of SSD, which is the same as the $599 MacBook Neo, but the Unibook runs Windows 11 which is a miserable experience with 8GB of RAM. Put Linux on it though and it should be fine.
It also has a lot more ports than the MacBook - three extra USB ports, HDMI, and wired Ethernet, plus a microSD slot for a bit more storage.
Which leaves the same question: Can it game? And the answer is... Maybe?
It looks like it has about half the graphics power of my new laptop (which has Intel's Arc 140V integrated graphics), which puts it at the level of my old laptop. Which runs unmodded Minecraft and Hytale just fine, not that that's particularly difficult. This particular model is running the slowest chip from the Wildcat Lake family, and others might do better here.
The screen isn't as good as the MacBook's though - dimmer and lower resolution. And definitely worse than the OLED panels on both my new and old laptops.
- Hackers stole personal data and medical records for 1.8 million people over a period of months from NYC Health + Hospitals. (Tech Crunch)
Well, that's not good.
- Hackers also broke into Grafana's GitHub account and stole everything and threatened to release it all unless they were paid a ransom. (The Register)
Grafana is open source.
Musical Interlude
Same song. Same group, sort of. Forty years apart.
I don't think any of the original members are part of the current lineup, though. Pop group of Theseus.

Software weasels like me use those features every day.
The important bit is that "git" is a "distributed version control" system. To work on git repository (a collection of files that's under version control), you "clone" it. In fact, that's the command; "git clone ".
That feature makes it difficult for an entity holding your source code to ransom your access to it; every developer in your organization has a clone of the repository, which is a mirror image of the parent, plus whatever local changes you've made.
They can, of course, do a version of blackmail; you have secrets you don't want the world to know. Pay us, or the world will know those secrets.

I try too. But in some cases in this pesthole there is only one practical path -- across the river, for instance. When an accident happened on the main bridge, you were stuck.
I used to leave for work early enough that, if the main bridge was clogged thanks to one idiot running into another idiot, I could divert to the older bridge in the suburbs. An additional twenty-five minutes' commute, but at least I would be moving.
The older bridge, which dated to the Thirties, was recently widened and turned into the superhighway it always should have been -- just as the main bridge to downtown was given a second span about forty years ago, only forty years late.

Had my annual physical yesterday. I'm healthy, says my doctor, which always comes as a surprise. He is bumping up my antidepressant dosage and also suggested counseling, though I don't see the use of that - I know what's wrong with me and I know how to fix it, but I simply don't have the will to do it. Why should I pay someone to tell me what I can freely tell myself?
I may or may not finish my book draft today. I need to restore some cuts, type up a bridge and then move on to the final chapter. It's really a question of dedication, and perhaps the hot weather will stop me from wandering out into the garden.

I just splurged on some fancy expensive Braun 9 Super plus dollar sign pro whatever it's called electric shaver. I gotta say I'm pretty happy with it. Had been rocking the old school double sided safety razor for years now, but the shaver is much better for those mornings of "oh man I actually have a job I have to physically go to and not look homeless now, and i'm running out of minutes to get myself there".
Old razor can still put in a shift on the weekends if he wants, I guess.

I've liked Braun products -- coffeemakers and razors -- for years. The Braun was the only electric razor that ever cut me, though. 'Struth: A bit of the foil head sheared off and stuck up, and scratched me as I shaved. (I bought a Norelco the next day.) Do they even still make coffeemakers?
Once I began using a safety razor, I realized that every other day worked best for my face and beard, and nobody at work was checking my face for stubble. Still, I made time on the alternate days for at least a one-pass shave.

Counselling can be worth it even if they're 100% full of crap, or 100% telling you what you already know. It forces you out of the proverbial rabbit hole. It forces something external on to whatever is plaguing you. You have to go to a place and do a thing with another person, which can act as the impetus you might need to dislodge yourself from whatever path it is that you're on and don't want to be on.
If we hairless apes could bootstrap mental health through brute force and willpower alone, we wouldn't even need a phrase that means "mental health".

Even though the Chuwi is a checklist winner on ports the 300 nits screen blows and that wears its welcome out quickly. Neo crushes it here on a part that is used 100% of time.
Then there is the track pad. I have fussed around with the Neo track pad and it is a terrific part. If the Chuwi trackpad is on par with the typical Windows plastic fantastic ones, well, they too are pretty miserable.
Keyboard? Again Neo's is excellent. Odds on the Chwi again, is on par with the typical meh Windows plastic fantastic ones.
What about the case? Fit and finish? Can you get it in multiple colors?
What about an equally well priced ecosystem of products that work with the Chuwi? Apple with its mid-priced phone, entry level watch, the basic iPad, some earbuds is a big win here.
And lastly, what store can I visit to try and then buy a Chuwi? You can't and that counts.
Apple did something remarkable with the Neo: they built an inexpensive laptop that never once feels cheap something the Chuwi will struggle with to match is my guess.

That story hit me when I was young. I've been to Alaska in March to see the Northern Lights relatively recently; I could see that story being true when things were warming up versus in the dead of winter.
Alaska's a beautiful place in the winter; probably more beautiful when it warms up, but I believe the mosquitoes will carry you away to be drained elsewhere when it's warm.

The idea of putting your code on a platform you don’t own or control is stupid.
And writing a version control script is not that hard.
You can use git and not publish to GitHub, GitLab, or anywhere else. I've got git repositories within my own network that I don't share with other people, but DO share between machines in my local network.
If you only work on one machine, then you can use RCS, which has been around since the early 1980s.
Don't confuse the tool with platforms that make the tool easier to use with other people that you may not know. Even so, you do you.
I actually have some stuff on GitHub that I purposefully intended to share with others who wanted to use it. If only I looked as good as my GitHub avatar...

Critical Everything Theory created entire microcultures whose only core characteristic is to seek disapproval. Transgress. Pervert. Invert. "Deconstruct". If you would have approval, prepare for disapproval.
Now the same biological urge that once made it unthinkable to become a brigand or a murderer is now the very same urge that makes it unthinkable *not* to do so. How could we not go out and murder strangers and then kill ourselves? We're not *that* sort of person. Perish the thought. We're authentic.

Allow AI to help:
They built their cities of rhetoric out of the hollow bones of consent, little citadels of perpetual negation where the only fidelity was to the act of denying itself, a liturgy of inversion practiced with the solemnity of a chapel thrice burned; and there, amid the slow rot of habit and the fevered whispering that passed for doctrine, they made of transgression an art and of art a sacrament, perverting the bright ordinances of the obvious until the face of the ordinary was a palimpsest of affronts, words hewn like stone — “deconstruct,” they said — as if the language could unmake the world and be absolved, as if approval were a gaunt thing to be hunted and if ever you stooped to pick up its pale coin you had already set your heel upon it and summoned the long, patient fury of disapproval to come and finish the business of living.

Every few years, I buy the cheapest Windows machine I can find and, as soon I bring it home, I nuke Windows and replace it with Ubuntu - which, these days, is surprisingly easy.

[Hat Tip: TC] That has certainly morphed into communist and communist-adjacent, although their end game is just the same. One day American schools will once again teach the evils of communism, and we will be much better off as a country. Maybe I am naive, but I am genuinely puzzled by people who are true believers. As a political philosophy, it is so transparently false that it is difficult to comprehend the suspension of logic and the discarding of knowledge of the human condition that is necessary to believe in it. The bosses are a different issue. They want power, and are willing to do anything to get it and exercise it. THAT I understand, because it is sadly part of the human condition.
German Tourist Killed by Cobra Bite at Egypt Hotel Snake Show
According to PEOPLE, the 57-year-old man, from the Unterallgäu region of Germany, was traveling with two family members when the incident occurred. The resort had staged a snake show for guests featuring two cobras, during which the snake charmer moved through the audience encouraging guests to handle the snakes and drape them around their necks. During the show, the cobra found its way into the man’s clothing and struck him in the leg. The venom took effect quickly — he needed emergency resuscitation at the scene before being rushed to a hospital, where doctors were unable to save him. He has not been publicly identified.
This is me being naive again. Are there really people who are so stupid and oblivious that they think having a cobra slither around your neck as part of the night's entertainment is a good idea?

Bob Dylan is widely described as Rock's greatest poet. Bullshit. In the real world, Paul Simon should be considered modern music's best bard, simply because he is slightly less pompous. Add in a tremendous number of fine songs with fine, poetic lyrics, and little Bobby is merely a pretender to the throne. And his enthusiastic participation in politics, while probably good for his career, is grating. Plus, "Hurricane" is a terrible song, and Ruben Carter was a thug, and my guess is that he did the crime.

I will check the door switch and have the start capacitor checked. Chances are, however, that the clutch on the motor is gooey and sticks, which means tearing it all the way down.
This is not a standard machine, I think it is a Frankenstein made from multiple junked machines. If it were a car it would have four different tires. The problem is that it is a better washer than buying a new one from Lowes.

The Air Force Base is in a rather isolated area, and there aren't a lot of roads in the vicinity. The aircraft wreckage managed to fall directly on top of one of the few paved roads in the area. Fortunately, it wasn't the main highway to the base that sees thousands of trips per day, but several hundred people who live at the other end of the road will now have to made a 30 minute detour for a few days.

Simon is one of my favorite musicians and like another of my favorite musicians, Yo-yo Ma, is not afraid to take a risk on something new. For Simon, I'm thinking particularly of Graceland and for Ma, his "bluegrass" albums. In my opinion, not all such experiments are successful but without them, we would've missed some great music.

I had a 1988 Mitsubishi Starion back in the day. The wiper speed was somehow triggered to the moving speed of the car. So if you set the intermittent speed to perfection at a stop light, it would speed up to match the speed of the car so you didn't have to manually compensate and fiddle with the switch. It worked great. I thought that was a pretty cool thing for 1988. That car had a bunch of little shit like that.

Yes, artists from Guns and Roses to Richie Havens to George Thorogood to Jimi Hendrix and literally hundreds more covering your songs means something. It's means your songs were covered by more musicians and more diverse musicians than any other writer including Paul Simon means you are a very, very good song writer.

I guess it depends on where you are in jersey. North east is different from north west and is different from central, and is different from south. Kinda like a mini united states. Certain areas have an influx of people from Staten island and brooklyn, and from central jersey you could be as little as 10 minutes from Staten island, and since the bars were open later over there it was a big thing to head to staten island after the bar closed here. You have a lot of cross pollination in that area. Also a lot of staten islanders ended up in Marlboro. When I was doing kitchens in that area in the 80s it was amazing how many were from staten island. Some of the car shows I go to now have groups of dudes that slowly moved here from there. I know of at least 6 dudes in the last few years who moved here. You would definitely hear gabagool in these areas. lol

The true magic of her voice was in the lower registers, what she called her basement voice. She said the money's in the basement.
I remember reading something a good while back about that. She couldn't really belt it out in her lower registers, so they had to use a close mike, which can be tricky.
Her higher registers were good too, but the magic was in the basement. She would contrast them sometimes, and that could really show off the basement magic.

Once the revolutionaries seize power, a cadre will necessarily rise to the top. Once it does, they *must* murder all their erstwhile comrades. Those people have proven two things: they are natural dissenters, and they know how to fight against an entrenched power structure. They must go.
The people who replace them will be unblooded, and terrified from day one. So the tidal wave of blood can recede - but it will continually wash back in from time to time, to keep the youngsters from getting fresh with anyone.

And I get not liking Dylan cause of some of his politics despite the fact he became a Christian singer later in life but pretending he wasn't an amazingly gifted songwriter is kind of silly. To this day their are people who shun him because he went electric at the Newport Folk Festival and brought all that music, including Simon, to a new audience.

Good call, Helena. Washers have very sensitive air pressure switch, attached to a hose that runs to the bottom of the outer drum. As water rises in the drum, trapped air in the tube is compressed, and trips the switch to shut off the fill solenoids. That's how the fill level is set. If that hose is compromised, washer may overfill, or not fill at all.

Now there is a theory, not that I hold to this, that somehow some sort of deal was struck. Bob agreed to tone down his political activism n exchange for not getting drafted. He was the prime age for this. The “proof” of this, adherents claim, is that Bob explained all this, albeit obliquely. Remember the famous Folkie civil rights protest gathering down south, on the McGee farm?
Well - I ain’t gonna work on Magee’s Farm no more. They hand you a nickle, they hand you a dime, and then they ask you if you’re having a good time…
He did pretty much stay mum after that, to the chagrin of everyone who claimed he was “the voice of a generation” and the rest of it. What is wrong with you?! He has always famously done his best to avoid getting pigeonholed, or let others try to define him or control him. Can’t argue with that.

Eh, music like all art is subjective. And I get not liking Dylan cause of some of his politics despite the fact he became a Christian singer later in life but pretending he wasn't an amazingly gifted songwriter is kind of silly. To this day their are people who shun him because he went electric at the Newport Folk Festival and brought all that music, including Simon, to a new audience.

She makes the sign of the teaspoon
He makes the sign of the wave
The poor boy changes clothes and puts on after shave
To compensate for his ordinary shoes
I dunno, I like it. Got the LP around here semewhere.
Interesting to think that Dylan embraced the electric guitar, whereas Simon and Garfunkel were not happy when the record company released The Sounds of Silence with producer Tom Wilson's overdub of electric and bass guitars..

************
I do as well. Also dislike a lot of heavy metal or whatever is going on now (sorry, disco).
My musician husband (hobby but natural guitarist and pianist and very good) gets irritated by some of the stuff I like.
He's introduced me to a lot of blues stuff and really knows rock music from our time (Civil War era or the mid '70's). I'll ask him about a song we hear and he knows it within seconds.
I forgot The Guess Who. He and I agree on them and most including a great band I also forgot: Bad Company.
I hate The Who with a passion. Don't know why but he knows, oh, he knows and doesn't play this in the car.
He claims Winwood went through a pop type phase with Higher Love and I don't care and play it super loud sometimes anyway. I should have tested this song when I was sick last week to see if I'd rise out of my death bed to dance to it. Otherwise he likes Winwood.
We don't argue much about anything, but he does have his comments if I am listening to something he thinks is "bubble gum."
He also knows I ignore him so it works out for knowing each other almost 49yrs and still being best friends.

I get it. Little and I came back from touring the Painted Desert (or was it Meteor Crater?) and were driving a bit of Rt 66 when we found Butterfield's. He was jonesing for ribs and I hadn't had a steak in over three days (I KNOW!). Anyway, both entrees were superb. To the waitress I speculated that my steak probably didn't have to wander too far to get to my plate. She confirmed that it was very local. Only reason why I didn't get one for desert was we still had an hour's drive to our campsite. Yeah, lotta driving...

My theory is that he figure out they were trying to get him to write commie propaganda with vagina as an inducement.
And say what else you might want to say about Dylan (and yeah, Hurricane sucked ass... that whole period sucked ass), he's made Oppositional Defiant Disorder into an art form more successfully than anyone I can think of, with the possible exception of John "Johnny Rotten" Lydon.
Lydon is still pissing off the orthodox to this day, most recently by coming out as a Trump guy.

latest night update is that the winds are going down and the area is cooling and getting humid (though near the coast the place varies from 800 feet above sea level to 2600 or so) and winds have dropped. The evac orders for areas near me have been dropped already and the fire has been kept moving mostly N->S since afternoon rather than into the houses it stared near, or the ones it has threatened to the E . My area is W. With water for the trucks, and for the aircraft they are using the firemen are doing their usual good job.

People buy them to keep up with lots of different things that are going on around them. Local sales at stores, local school news like sports or other activities. Who got in trouble with the law.(Yes they put your name in the paper). Who died. Who got married, lots of stuff like that. Young people may use their phones to pass along information important to them but older people are not on their phones 24/7. We still pick up a paper.

Local rag is still good for HS & local college sports, obits, the court "tattletale" stuff, and community events.
All of the national & international articles are straight off of AP/UPI and "orangemanbad" 100%. Even state-level politics read like Pravda against PDJT, MAGA, or anyone "R"

Lahaina Noon Cafe
Where's my money bitch?!!
Husky dramatic exit. An echidna. A hyrax. Rats enjoy driving little rat-cars. Pet rabbit meets wild rabbit. Fruit bat enjoys a banana. Greyhound who washed out of racing is adopted and loves his first toy. Polar bear joins Polar Bear Club, immediately wins presidency in a walk.
"Lahaina Noon," is a trippy phenomenon that happens twice a year in Hawaii, where all objects lose their shadows

The Iranian government hired a criminal gang to stab a TV journalist in London in a campaign to target opponents of the regime, a court heard.
Pouria Zeraati, a presenter for dissident TV channel Iran International who has interviewed Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, was stabbed three times in broad daylight as he left his home in Wimbledon in March 2024.

saw that just the other day, but in a reverse. A randy cottontail was chasing one of the female feral domestic rabbits around my neighborhood. Outside my back window whilst brewing coffee. He was smaller than she. I did not stick around to see if he succeeded, because I am not a perve.
My 'hood is famous for having a huge population of formerly domestic rabbits all over the damn place. What we need is a handful of foxes and coyotes. But then, that creates a new problem...

Two senior law enforcement officials briefed on the investigation and a federal law enforcement official identified Cain Clark, 17, and Caleb Vazquez, 18, as the suspects in today’s shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego.
Previously, law enforcement officials said the suspects died of self-inflicted gunshot wounds. At a briefing this afternoon, police said the suspects were 17 and 19.
No motive has been provided. Investigators are examining possible anti-Islamic writings found in the car where police found the dead suspects, two senior law enforcement officials said.
Also reports that one of the shooters left a suicide note.

Ummm...that's how Eratosthenes calculated the Earth's diameter, as far back as 240BC. heheard that there was a well in egypt where the sun hit to bottom (i.e. no shadows) on a certain day if the year. Compared that to a stick stuck in the ground a couple hundred miles away on the same day, and using proto-trigonmetery, very accurately calcualtred the Earth's circumference and diameter.

C. 1995 some of it was actually quite economical.
Go to local travel agency in person and get books of inter-island airlines ticket vouchers for $15-$20 each way. Book hotel at baggage claim (unused time shares for about $40 a night).
Buying fresh veggies by the pound did shock me, but they have high transport cost. Two Whoppers for $2 still a thing. I used to joke about the Whoper being a salad Burger. In Hawaii you'd get the same bun and patty but just a sorry ass tomato slice that could be from a cherry tomato, a piece of brownish lettuce, and a couple pieces of onion. But the local One Choi / Two Choi plate lunches were a good value. And the really out of the way local plate lunch places had Hawaiian sized servings.

It's been 2 months and nobody is dying right now. Meanwhile Iran is imploding and the entire structure of the Middle East is changing for the better. China is hurting and new alliances are being created.
Remember what happened after the US crushed Iraq in a long weekend? ISIS happened. Winning the war is one thing and the military has shown pretty decisively if allowed they can blow Iran to oblivion with little resistance. Trump obviously is looking at a wider strategy. Who knows exactly what, Trump likes to operate in confusion and uncertainty but he has a pretty good track record and I trust his judgement. He's earned it.

So he must have a reason. He's not going to tell anyone, he says all the time he isn't going to reveal his plans for obvious reasons. With previous people who have sat in that chair I'd be concerned because most of them I knew would do something stupid. I have more confidence that Trump won't.

The voting public's vulnerability isn't just the body bags. It's the constant drumbeat of "nothing's happening, but it could easily get worse for us at any moment" the media feeds much of them. Sanctions/blockades take a very long time to have any real effect on a nation's decision makers, so we're not talking about the two months that it has been, but the years down the road this will take.
I'm sure the President appreciates your faith, but the truth of the matter is that he clearly hasn't killed enough of the IRGC to really get their attention yet.

I'm not saying I know better. I'm saying "Bridge and Power Plant Day" was his idea. When I heard him say it, I said "now we're talking," because it's an excellent idea, and he should execute it.
It will end our Iran problem, it will put the Chinese' little yellow dicks in a real wringer, and utterly devastating a once-powerful enemy will scare the living daylights out of every foreign devil on this cursed Earth.
I view it as the single best way to cut a number of Gordian knots, and I wish he'd just go for it.

All while the West freaks out about the social safety net collapsing in the West because of a low birth replacement rate.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison, discovering British horror with Hammer Films at May 18, 2026 09:46 PM (xBVv0)
But thats the thing. It was never replacement. It was 50%. That is what they set out to do and they intentionally halved their birthrate. Now, too many stallions and not enough mares, so the pop drops even more.
They essentially genocide themselves.
And I am supposed to think they are great fucking thinkers? Fuck off.

Yes, "tropic" comes from the Ancient Greek Homo meaning "turning point". The top one is the Tropic of Cancer and then southern point is the Tropic of Capricorn.
In those ancient Greek Homo days, the north turning point occurred with the Sun in Cancer. Due to precession since then, that occurs in Gemini at present.

2.1 is required to maintain population. At best, China has 0.7.
If China has a population of 1.2 billion, the Chinese population is 300 million in 50 years.
It's probably no more than 700,00,000 right now.
Any problems we have with having babies is nothing compared to China's problems with it.
China needs to be contained for a generation until it can be ignored completely. 30 years, tops.

I spent the day in the back yard trying to figure out what the fault is in my washing machine, and why it is not spinning or agitating. I got it to work in the back yard and I even ran a couple of loads of laundry. Then I moved it back into the laundry room, where it failed to function again.

You'll find that even the kooky old lady who runs the local used book store, that late-20's adjunct in the local community college, and so on - basically nobodies - all have a giant murder boner over the thought of being able to crush a bunch of their neighbors under their boot heel. Then throw in all the common crooks and thugs who just want a license to do their thing.
Even a lot of the trust fund idiots have a real dark streak.
Remember, the progs don't actually believe in anything other than their right to rule; what is morally right is by definition whatever they are doing.

Quick Hits
Black dead ringer for Malcolm X Steve Cohen announces he won't be running in the new antigerrymandered Tennessee 9th district. He's retiring to spend more time with his Bucket Chicken.
Cohen said he was retiring from Congress and public life, "This is by far the most difficult moment I've had as an elected official," he said. He claimed the people "wanted me again." Cohen said he "considered" running in one of the newly-drawn districts, but he said they are "nothing like the ninth district that I've represented." But even in that, he couldn't make a simple statement without throwing a bit of a fit.Translation? He knows he wouldn't win.
He said he won't run for reelection in his district, with a caveat: "If the courts will give two more years to that district ... I will run for that office." "I don't want to quit. I'm not a quitter. But these districts were drawn to beat me."
A New York judge has ruled that some key evidence seized from Luigi Mangione's backpack during his arrest at a Pennsylvania McDonald's is inadmissible at trial, while some of it can still be shown to jurors, including the suspected murder weapon. Judge Gregory Carro's written ruling was posted online ahead of a hearing Monday morning. He agreed with the defense argument that a search of Mangione's backpack at McDonald's was unconstitutional because it had been moved away from arm's reach, however, he found that a subsequent search of the bag at the police station was lawful. During that search, an officer found the handgun allegedly used in the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, 50. He also found that most of Mangione's statements to police in Pennsylvania would be admissible, except for some made about his alleged fake ID after police read him his Miranda warning.
Eric DaughertyMamdani gave press passes to a couple of antifa-aligned "reporters" who announced, in their "reporting" on the Mangione hearing, that Brian Thompson deserved to be murdered and his children were better off without him.
@EricLDaugh 🚨 NOW: The judge has just ruled IN FAVOR of assassin Luigi Mangione by SUPPRESSING evidence the cops found inside his backpack Utter madness. The jury will NOT learn about:
- Bullet magazine
- Cellphone
- Passport
- Wallet
- Computer chip TOTALLY OMITTED from the jury. The judge says the Mangione was ILLEGALLY searched because they took his bag after the shooting without a warrant. The gun and diary will still be allowed in trial evidence.
Molly Crane-Newman
@molcranenewman "I'm saying fuck Brian Thompson. I don't give a flying fuck he died," says Ashley Rojas, wearing her press badge provided by @NYCMayorsOffice. Lena Weissbrot adds that Thompson's teenage sons "are better off without him" and should "enjoy the blood money."
Whoops: I got this one backwards. Dana Loesch tried to book Tom "Pinecone" Massie but he seems butthurt.
Nice work, Mayor Karen: wildfires break out in southern California again. Still not clearing that brush, huh?
Unfortunately, on Monday, a fast-moving wildfire broke out in Simi Valley, a Ventura County city about 35 miles northwest of Los Angeles. Over 200 acres have caught on fire and evacuations have been ordered. The images coming out are disturbing.
A Variety "reporter" attacked Spencer Pratt for "living in Santa Barbara."
With his parents. Omitted from this statement: When Karen Bass burned down his house, he became homeless, and moved in with his parents. He has children, you know.Marlow SternPratt responded:
@MarlowNYC he... lives in santa barbara
My house burned down. I lost everything. I can't rebuild. As a 42 year old man with 2 kids, I've had to move into my parents' house, and I'm getting attacked for that? This is journalism? This is why no decent people ever get into politics. This is why you only have goblins running everything. God help you if you try to make things right for your community...if you lose your entire town, "journalists" mock you for not making your kids sleep in the toxic dirt on your burned out lot. Who raised you, dude?

Oh wow, I thought the whole "shit in a pringles can" was a new saying and I was trying to figure it out. The kids are always coming up with stuff like that so I thought it was the new Ohio or 67 but I see now garret brought it up in the earlier poo poo pee pee thread.
I'm glad I know that now because I was going to totally start using "shit in a pringles can" around my kid to show her I'm cool and that would have been really awkward.

He was searched after being arrested/detained. The reasoning the judge used was the backpack was no longer on his person at the time of his arrest. Sort of like having to still get a warrant to search a detainees car.

On Dragnet, prior to that episodes showed how it worked, they would knock on your door and ask “mind if we look around?”. Or they would haul you in for about 8 hours of questioning, and search your place before you got back home.
Posted by: Common Tater at May 18, 2026 06:48 PM (2NfTM)
It is possible the cop fucked up at the McDonalds. Warrantless searches are limited to specific sets of circumstances for a reason. If they didn't have separate probable cause to search the bag it's illegal if he wasn't under arrest. After a lawful arrest you can make an inventory search of someone's possessions incident to that arrest. I don't have all the fine details but the cop may very well have jumped the gun and weakened the case as a result. They seem to have piss-poor training on permissible searches under the 4th Amendment as a general matter.

How could anyone seriously vote for that freak? I know, I know, I underestimate the retardation of Dims.

“Not Suitable For Long Duration Space Flight” they said.
Another time they showed him a blank piece of paper, part of the Rorschach testing. He looked at it, flipped it around and handed it back to the guy. “It’s upside down”. The tech kind of flinched. They didn’t like that either. Ole Pete made group 2 though.

Thank you. I have no idea what is going on and will watch Tulsi tonight.
This week has been like one of those toy boxing guys where you get hit and spring back for another hit infinity. My husband tells me something and I say, "Wow" or "ok."
This house is very big. So part of the basement being blocked off with plastic and dehumidified after mold treatment is meh to me. Although we have to wash dishes in the half bathroom sink or use paper plates and cups. Life goes marching on.
We will be going to NOLA and to see my 95yr old mother on Saturday should we survive til then. She knows nothing as we try to keep her from worrying.
She has not yet met her newest great-granddaughter and we are all going. Storms keep knocking out power on the farm and generators are going, so it should be a ton of fun!
I don't worry much to start with but maybe I should now? Eh? Supposed to rain all weekend and grands will go nuts.
All I care about is my birthday dinner at Galatoire's in NOLA the night before we fly back here. This may not be normal.

JD Vance, Pete Hegseth Blast Flakey Fetish Weirdo Tom "Pinecone" Massie In Last Push in Primary Election
But before that the positive case for Ed Gallrein, SEAL and farmer, and the next congressman for Kentucky District 4.
This contest between Massie and Gallrein marks the first time that the incumbent congressman has faced a one-on-one primary. There is no doubt that this is his toughest race. Voters here have said they've moved away from him, not because of his quarreling with Trump, but because he's made it about himself, not them. In contrast, Gallrein, a multigeneration Kentuckian with decades of service in the U.S. military, is a relative newcomer to politics. He ran once in a crowded primary race for state senate in 2024, ultimately losing by just a smidge more than 100 votes. Gallrein spent time away from Kentucky while he was in the military, but it didn't take Kentucky out of him. His drawl is rich and deliberate, and his manners are impeccable. He retired 12 years ago and went right back to getting a little soil under his nails. His family also runs a popular destination farm in Shelby County, in the western stretch of the 4th Congressional District. In our interview, Gallrein said that he grew up on the family dairy farm, "Which is a contact sport, and for five generations we've been farming in Kentucky for over a hundred years down on the river bottoms," he said. His military bearing hasn't left him either. When he speaks, he commands the room, which draws the attention of voters interested in learning something new, as he did Thursday night at a GOP dinner in Kenton County. Gallrein stepped up to the podium. And after connecting with voters over football rivalries, he got right to the point. A call to service led him to join the military, but also to farming and running for Congress. "President Reagan inspired me to serve in 1983. There were no books or movies [on the SEALs] when I signed up for the SEALs from the farm field in Kentucky. So I left Kentucky and chose the hardest path I could to serve our nation because I had the audacity to think I could make a difference," he said. Gallrein, who rose to become a Navy SEAL officer and had a career that spanned three decades, said, "I served this nation leading missions around the world on seven different SEAL teams, including multiple times on SEAL Team Six, earning four bronze stars." Gallrein told the Washington Examiner that when his military service ended, he proudly came home to Kentucky. "Back to the farm, back to my family, back to serving veterans, and I thought my time was over." That was until Trump reached out to Gallrein last fall to come to the White House for a visit. "Thirty minutes into that conversation on Oct. 17, President Trump said, 'Ed, I don't have two consecutive terms like President Reagan to enact the agenda that I was overwhelmingly elected to deliver. Every year matters, every month matters, every week matters, every day matters. And every vote in the Congress and Senate matters.'" Gallrein said that Trump told him, "You need to serve our nation again." "Then it hit me hard," Gallrein said. "Because I'd already lived a life of sacred obligation as a career SEAL officer, leading troops all around the world. Some who didn't come home. They gave their all." So Gallrein went home, fed the livestock that night, talked with his family, prayed on it, went to church, and made the same decision he made in 1983 when President Ronald Reagan inspired him. "Duty, honor, country. If not me, who? If not now, when?"

@EricLDaugh 🚨 NOW: SecWar Pete Hegseth goes HARD against Rep. Thomas Massie while campaigning in Kentucky "At some point, being against everything becomes an excuse for accomplishing NOTHING." "At some point, constant obstruction is not leadership, it's just commentary. It's obstruction." "President Trump does not need more people in Washington who are trying to make a point, especially from his own party." "He needs people willing to help him win, to vote with him when it matters the most. And too often, Massie is acting like his job is to stand apart from the movement that President Trump leads instead of strengthening it." "When President Trump needs backup, Massie wants to debate process." "When the movement needs unity, especially at the biggest moments, Massie's willing to vote with Democrats." "When conservatives are fighting the most radical left in American history, too often Massie's instinct is to throw elbows at fellow Republicans instead of the people who are destroying our country or want to destroy our country." "Understand that in the middle of a fight, you don't weaken your own side, you advance to the objective. And that's what Ed Gallrein understands."

This criticism by Vance is from a TPUSA event in the past, but it's being recirculated now.
"Voting against the party on every single issue. You're eventually going to make too many enemies. It's not one issue or 3 issues it's every single issue. Every time we've needed Thomas for a vote he has been unwilling to provide it" "When you always vote against the party, you can't expect the party to back you" The Republican Party is President Trump's party. Massie must go.

Next week, the people of the 4th Congressional District of Kentucky have a chance to punt that useless poser Thomas Massie through the goalposts of failure. Let's hope they do. This ridiculous clown was merely a tiresome curiosity when the Republicans had a decent margin in the House, but then, he found himself with a little bit of heat because of the current small margin. And he made the best of it, through shameless lies and cringe-worthy self-promotion, going from marginal mediocrity to an active abscess on the buttocks of the party. It's time to lance that boil. Libertarians are useless at best, and it's worse when they are active co-conspirators with the Democrats. There's this idea that libertarians are actually Republicans who simply like dope, but that's not so. They're like that mythical creature we used to hear about in the '90s, the fiscally conservative but socially liberal voter who inevitably voted however the Democrats wanted. And that's what Massie does, though he tries to cloak it in the garments of principle. It's unclear whether he's ever actually passed any legislation of his own, though he's always eager to propose bills; he's unable to get anyone to join him. That's because everybody hates him. That's because he's a jerk. Before his wife sadly died young a couple of years ago, he was content to be a fringe weirdo with bad hair and no heat. Once she tragically passed away, he visited a hairstylist, married a leftist staffer 20 years his junior, and decided he needed to broaden his horizons, which meant helping the Democrats and shafting the GOP more openly than before. And perhaps he became a player, too, at least according to a woman who said he tried to pay her 60 grand to shut up about their kinky affair. I don't know if that is true or not, and I kind of doubt it for several reasons including that the idea of a schlub like Thomas Massie scoring is so inherently unbelievable. Still, the story is out there. The primary voters of the Kentucky 4th can decide whether this current scandal matters, but there are plenty of reasons to dump this loser besides unproven claims about his inability to satisfy a woman. You know, like being the ringmaster for the whole Epstein circus. The Epstein affair, which rapidly became an idiotic moral panic and an IQ test that far too many people failed, was this guy's claim to fame. Suddenly, this nobody was somebody, appearing on all the regime shows and getting a bunch of press because of his courageous and principled stand. Just kidding. Principles had nothing to do with it. It was his willingness to attack fellow Republicans over the shakiest of shaky allegations. He didn't care who he hurt with his lies. You'll notice above that I carefully set forth that the claims against Massie himself are unproven and merely allegations. That's because I'm not a scumbag who makes unqualified accusations against people when I don't have proof that I find compelling. But Massie had no such compunctions. He was perfectly willing to go out and essentially argue that Donald Trump was the head of a pervert ring and claim that a whole bunch of other people were part of it, and that he had that information, and he was going to see the truth come out. And where is this truth? Nowhere. Nada. A big nothing. He didn't expose anyone because it was all crap. It was all a lie. And he didn't care. And he still doesn't care that he lies. Donald Trump wants to get rid of this dork and has endorsed Ed Gallrein in the primary. I've had a chance to interview Ed, and he's a solid guy, a straightforward and strait-laced conservative who loves his country. Massie talks about how he's principled and patriotic -- he went on Tucker, who has gone insane, and Tucker claimed that this primary election will show whether a candidate who loves America can win. And it will, but not the way Tucker meant. Ed was a Navy SEAL captain, and he showed his love for America by fighting for it rather than posing for the cameras like Massie did back when the Epstein thing was useful and the regime media still paid attention to him."Pinecone"?

Joel MowbrayPost here, with video. In the video, this Massie super-fat explains that Nazi concentration camps were actually very clean and provided first rate medical services and that more "J's" (he avoids saying "Jews" for some reason) were born in the Nazi camps than "passed away." Passed away. They passed away you guys. I've said it before: Of course not every libertarian is a cryptonazi -- but Nazis have found the "libertarian" flag a convenient Flag of Convenience to fly to hide their actual agenda.
@joelmowbray 🚨 EXCLUSIVE
Thomas Massie superfan -- and campaign supporter -- Ryan Matta is a full-blown Holocaust denier. Among other claims, Matta (who wore "American Reich" gear in photo with Massie) says Auschwitz did NOT have gas chambers, but rather SHOWERS to clean "dirty" Jews, whom he called "disgusting people" who don't shower and thus were "covered in... demonic, gross things." Matta has created numerous videos purporting to "expose" the "Holo-hoax" and discuss the "JQ." In short, these conspiracy theory videos are so central to Matta's online persona that anyone familiar with him knows that he's one of the biggest Holocaust deniers on social media. Given how popular he is in Massie-supporting circles -- Matta is quite friendly on X with Tucker Carlson's brother Buckley, for example -- it is inconceivable that the campaign (or even Massie himself) was unaware of Matta's overtly pro-Hitler views. Nor does Matta hide that, of course. He was wearing an "American Reich" hoodie in various pro-Massie social media videos in recent days. And though candidates take many photos with lots of people, Massie knows how popular he is with anti-Semites, yet he had no qualms taking a photo with someone who stamped himself as "American Reich." Unless Massie immediately apologizes for associating with Matta and prohibits him from campaign events, then there should be little doubt about the kind of man Massie truly is.

On the other hand, if I thought the GOP would hold the House with a manageable working majority, I would vote for Massie. We need more voices pushing back against our BigGov-BigTech overlords. The idea that a GOP-controlled House supports the "kill switch" technology letting them disable your car if they decide you are not fit to drive is absolutely infuriating.
And also to demonstrate the quixotic notion that there is at least one single solitary Republican not allied with, bribed by, extorted by, or otherwise controlled by the all-powerful tribalistic Israel Lobby whose compass always points ultimately to what's best for one particular foreign country and its supporters and not grounded in the fundamental principles upon which the USA was founded.

Well, they're fairly new, and they were pretty accurate in the Louisiana Senate primary - they did a poll on the 5th and it was only a couple points off the total.
But the very fact that nobody is polling this race tells you what you need to know.
Normally they'd be throwing polls out and laughing at 'Massie owning the MAGA chuds'. Instead, none of them want to talk about polls and the leftists are all hands on deck trying to simp and drag him across the finish line

I've never heard this particular pejorative before. I'm actually curious where it came from. It has to be modern to involve pringles. Unless it first applied to people that couldn't shit in a coconut or something and it got retconned into a pringles can later.
I honestly think it would be difficult to shit in a pringles can, I mean, I could do it eventually but I'd need a few practice shits. Maybe larger targets and then work down towards a pringles can with ever smaller targets.
But once you can reliably target the can then who knows, a pez dispenser, a sewing thimble, anything's possible at that point.

America is allied with Israel because of common culture values, and for a great many of us, God. They are in fact our only useful ally because they're the only ones that will pull their own weight when there's a fight.
The fact that some politicians listen to voters who understand that rather than your weird fringe niche isn't an indication that they're being bribed or extorted or controlled. It means they agree with the other side of the argument you're trying to create.

I say protected.
AI Overview
Muslims are protected in the United States under the law. However, despite these constitutional and federal protections, civil liberties organizations continue to document instances of discrimination and targeted surveillance.
The First Amendment: The U.S. Constitution prohibits the government from establishing a state religion and guarantees the free exercise of all religions. This protects Muslims' rights to hold beliefs, worship, and practice their faith (including wearing religious attire like a hijab) without state interference.
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act: This federal law prohibits employers with 15 or more employees from discriminating based on religion in hiring, firing, wages, and promotions. It also requires employers to provide reasonable accommodations for religious practices—such as prayer breaks or time off for religious holidays—unless it causes undue hardship to the business.

I had audacity to think I could compete out of state in college courses, then be accepted by two hard to get into nursing schools (1 in 400 applicants). I may look like a dumb redneck blonde, but the surprise will be your own. My audacity is genetic and also because people expected me to fail due to simply being where I was from. I had a chip on my shoulder from age six yrs. Get out of my way.

I think the people you're talking about wanted it to happen, they just don't want to be associated with all of the deeds the Palis did to achieve it.
Daniel Greenfield made a great point about that in an article today in regards to Dems and their current love of assassinations. They want them to happen but don't want to be associated with it, so they instead claim all the attempts against Trump were staged.
That explanation makes a lot of sense.

I disagree. I think it's "game recognizes game," and Gay Race Communists respect fellow con artists willing to lie, rape and murder for The Grand Cause of enslaving the whole human race. At least they have a sufficiently audacious goal, and ruthlessness to match!
The same goal, and the same ruthlessness. The only difference is in their rhetoric and cultural trappings, but those are the scam patter and clique ID of a confidence scheme. Ultimately, the stone-cold sociopaths at the top of each grift don't really care about the details, which is they're merging into one pustulant Islamunism.

Regarding the OpenAI case, the judge & jury never actually ruled on the merits of the case, just on a calendar technicality.
There is no question to anyone following the case in detail that Altman & Brockman did in fact enrich themselves by stealing a charity. The only question is WHEN they did it!
I will be filing an appeal with the Ninth Circuit, because creating a precedent to loot charities is incredibly destructive to charitable giving in America.

.@USTreasury is issuing a temporary 30-day general license to provide the most vulnerable nations with the ability to temporarily access Russian oil currently stranded at sea.
This extension will provide additional flexibility, and we will work with these nations to provide specific licenses as needed. This general license will help stabilize the physical crude market and ensure oil reaches the most energy-vulnerable countries.
It will also help reroute existing supply to countries most in need by reducing China’s ability to stockpile discounted oil.

They are stupid. I forgot that being a former supermodel did not hurt my career in nursing and I was never stupid except once on a snipe hunt at 10yrs old.
In college and nursing school professors & classmates underestimated me because I talked slow and looked innocent. To be the only redneck in a sea of 100 Western girls took some belief in my worth. Later this was with surgeons and doctors and others I encountered in the hospital. It did not take long for them to see past my looks as I am no dummy.
Looks fade (well, for some, not me), but audacity remains forever.
Apparently audacious from birth. Asked my mother at 6wks to please put me in my crib and stop rocking and singing to me; leave me to sleep in peace. Age two years I thought I was an adult as that's all I knew. Infamous to all who met me as a stubborn blonde girl in sunglasses and pigtails.

Mental health problems huh? There's a lot of that going around. A Muslim with "mental health problems" just rammed his car into eight people in Italy, crushing one woman's legs completely. He then stabbed someone who attempted to stop him.
A homeless deviant who terrorized Toronto with a series of vile poop-bucket attacks in 2019 has been arrested in connection with two alleged sexual assaults, cops said. Samuel Opoku, 30, a vagrant whose grotesque fecal assaults earned him the nickname "The Pee Pee Poo Poo Man" in a 2024 indie film chronicling the malodorous crime spree, was picked up May 12 and charged with two counts of sexual assault and indecent exposure. In the first incident May 9, a group of women were walking on the sidewalk when he approached them and made sexual advances toward one of the women, grabbing her forearm. He then allegedly sexually assaulted her and fled, according to police. A day later, Opoku followed a woman into a commercial office building and allegedly sexually assaulted her after approaching her from behind before running away again. ... Court documents confirm the suspect is the same man previously busted for the fecal attacks, according to Toronto Today. Opoku's earlier flush with the law came after he was arrested for throwing buckets of "liquefied feces" at five random people in Toronto in 2019 in a series of attacks that even turned the stomachs of seasoned police veterans. "A young girl had a bucket of waste, feces, dumped on her," police Constable David Hopkinson said at the time, according to the Toronto Star. "I don't know what to say, I'm at a loss, this is absolutely disgusting."
One of the attacks happened outside the University of Toronto around midnight, when he dumped a bucket filled with liquid waste all over an unsuspecting woman. Days later, he entered the school's John P. Robarts library armed with another bucket of excrement, which he poured on two people who were seated at a table. He attacked five people in the same horrifying manner over four days, including three women, one man and a child, according to CBC. Opuko was charged with five counts of assault with a weapon and five counts of mischief interfering with property. His lawyer argued his client was suffering from mental health problems and he was released after just three weeks in custody on $1,000 bail. He returned to court in December 2019, but the conclusion of his case was not known.

Italy: Muslim rams pedestrians, injuring 8, gets out of his car and stabs one person, has 'psychiatric disorders' Have you ever noticed that the overwhelming preponderance of people who are suffering from psychiatric disorders that make them want to ram people with their cars and then get out and stab some more are Muslims? Isn't that a remarkable coincidence? Could there possibly, just possibly, be another explanation for these repeating occurrences? Or would it be "Islamophobic" to consider that possibility? Vehicular jihad, meanwhile, is a common jihadi practice. The Islamic State issued this call back in September 2014: "So O muwahhid, do not let this battle pass you by wherever you may be. You must strike the soldiers, patrons, and troops of the tawaghit. Strike their police, security, and intelligence members, as well as their treacherous agents. Destroy their beds. Embitter their lives for them and busy them with themselves. If you can kill a disbelieving American or European -- especially the spiteful and filthy French -- or an Australian, or a Canadian, or any other disbeliever from the disbelievers waging war, including the citizens of the countries that entered into a coalition against the Islamic State, then rely upon Allah, and kill him in any manner or way however it may be....If you are not able to find an IED or a bullet, then single out the disbelieving American, Frenchman, or any of their allies. Smash his head with a rock, or slaughter him with a knife, or run him over with your car, or throw him down from a high place, or choke him, or poison him...."

I'm not disagreeing that there are a lot of evil, stupid "elite" who think the mohammedans will be their willing foot soldiers.
But most of the voters for these "elite" think they are being compassionate and that these poor, downtrodden people of color are just misunderstood. (See the women who LIE to protect their rapists because they were muslim. Who let an attempted murderer go on to murder someone else because they didn't want to put "another black man in prison." )

In part, Police said they set up a reunification point for people in the area. The mosque posted on social media that children can be picked up from a nearby church.
After the shooting, the New York Police Department said it is boosting protection for mosques in the city.
“While there is currently no known nexus to NYC or specific threats to NYC houses of worship, out of an abundance of caution, the NYPD is increasing deployments to mosques across the city,” the agency said."
Why has NYC entered the conversation? No idea.

Can you expand on your point? In Ezekiel 20:21-26 God tells the Israelites He punished them for their actions. Part of the punishment was an extremely onerous body of law. I'm not tracking exactly how that translates to Muhammad telling Muslims to worship false gods.

The media, now fully bought and paid for by the government, would never cover a conflict between those two, so I wouldn't hear of it there.
And I have no first-person observed evidence, so I can't comment.
However: Since the "RoP" doesn't get along with anyone, and has three warring sects within itself (so it doesn't even get along with itself), I think it's safe to say that they'll come into conflict.

Unite the Kindom Rally Draws Tens of Thousands
Starmer-aligned police claim that around 60,000 showed up, but I don't believe them. It looks well in excess of 100,000 to me.
Bari Weiss' CBS News still calls it "far right" despite it being mainstream. To the communist media, "far right" merely means "anti-leftwing extremist."Police estimated that around 60,000 people attended the "Unite the Kingdom" march, making it one of the largest right-wing mobilizations seen in Britain in recent years, though smaller than a similar Robinson-led rally last September. Robinson is the founder of the nationalist and anti-Islamist English Defence League and is one of the most influential far-right figures in Britain. Crowds carrying St. George's Cross and Union flags marched through central London chanting "we want Starmer out" and "Christ is King." Some wore red "Make England Great Again" hats, echoing President Trump's Make America Great Again movement. People cited a range of reasons for attending, but many described feeling ignored by the government and alarmed by the direction of the country. Christian imagery was highly visible throughout the demonstration. Protesters carried large wooden crosses, waved crucifixes and some dressed as Knights Templar. Chris Wickland, who described himself as a priest from the Confessing Anglican Church, told CBS News he was there "to represent Christianity," adding that "something is disappearing from our culture and from our nation ... and that was Christianity."Good. I find that right-leaning political movements that are not leavened by Christianity tend to get weird and nasty.
Another man, draped in an Israeli flag, said he wanted to "bring back Judeo-Christian values to this nation." He said he was not Jewish or Israeli, but described himself as a British Protestant who believed Israel had "always been an ally to the United Kingdom." ... There was also a visible Iranian opposition presence, with some demonstrators waving pre-revolutionary Iranian flags. One Iranian man told CBS News he was there to "stand against all people who want to tear down the country." Speaking from a stage in Parliament Square, Robinson urged supporters to become politically active ahead of the next general election. "If we don't send a message in our next election, if you don't register to vote, if you don't get involved, if you don't become activists, we are going to lose our country forever," he told the crowd. Robinson also praised billionaire Elon Musk for his public support. "None of this would have happened if it wasn't for one man. Thank you Elon, on behalf of Great Britain," Robinson said, prompting thousands in the crowd to chant "Elon."It should be noted that the march was "mostly peaceful," and by "Mostly peaceful," I mean nearly 100% peaceful, despite Queer Starmer's attempt to gin up hatred and violence against the marchers, and incite the police to bust skulls. Police were praised for being professional -- perhaps they sense that Queer Starmer is weak and on his way out, and declined his open invitation to beat up his political opponents. Queer is, reportedly, talking about resigning and claims to want an orderly transition. Frankly I've heard this before. He sounds like the IRGC pitching new "peace plans." Another Labour MP resigned:
Sky NewsAnd another MP demanded Starmer resign:
@SkyNews 5h BREAKING: Labour MP Josh Simons has officially resigned from parliament, it has been confirmed.
Daid ShawVideo of the "60,000" marching towards Parliament. Here's a higher view of the march. Despite Queer Starmer blocking foreign speakers from attending, Nick Shirley managed to get in, somehow. By the way, leftwing protesters urged the crowd to "Shoot him [Tommy Robinson] in the neck, just like Charlie Kirk!" Despite Queer Starmer's vow to use "the full force of the law" to pound "far-wing extremist hate" into submission, no arrests were made. Curious!
@David90shaw 🚨 BREAKING: The Labour rebellion has officially reached the Red Wall. Hartlepool MP Jonathan Brash just published a brutal open letter demanding Keir Starmer resign and set a strict departure timetable. He warned that pretending everything is fine after the local election wipeout is a total insult to the British public.

The current policy in Germany is that no one from any other party will have anything to do with AfD, including any co-sponsoring bills. In one state there was a tragedy in which the Greens put forth a bill to reduce the compliance requirements for some small businesses, with no hope of passing it, and the AfD CO SPONSORED IT AND IT PASSED!
Now the Greens are having to live with the fear that somehow they have enabled Fascism by having the AfD vote in one of their proposals.

At the same time, she's still a fan of the idea of 'free' healthcare because she's unable to think clearly about the fact that at least 50% of current healthcare spending is fraud, the fact that the US government spends $1.5T per year in 'healthcare' is a big reason for medical inflation, and the fact that the rest of the world leeches off of us is the other.

Even with 'free' healthcare there is the problem is that demand for healthcare is infinite, yet any budget is finite. So you get death squads, rationing, or fraud. Or all of the above.

When I was a young deputy DA, I was assigned a careless resulting in death case concerning a young girl running a red light and striking a car containing an elderly couple. She took the stand and on cross-examination, I had three goals: 1) she had only recently begun to drive, 2) she was unfamiliar with the rather complex intersection, and 3) she may have been confused because there were green signs and such all over everywhere. I had just begun to question her when she burst into tears and it was obvious she felt guilty and deeply regretted the accident.
The jury deliberately for several hours and at great volume. (I could hear the yelling but couldn't make out the words.) Eventually they convicted her of careless driving but not resulting in death (which was contrary to reality). I thought I might have been wiser to forego cross entirely.
P.S. I'm so glad I don't have to make decisions affecting the lives of others anymore.

A McDonald’s employee in Massachusetts is now facing criminal charges after a viral video allegedly showed her putting fries in her mouth… then back into a customer’s order.
The incident happened at a McDonald’s on East Main Street in Southbridge.
In the video, the employee is seen grabbing a handful of fries, stuffing them into her mouth, and then dropping them back into the fry box while another worker laughs and records.
“So you want French fries today, right?” she says to the camera.
After the video spread online, both employees involved were fired.
Police and local health officials launched an investigation to determine whether the contaminated food was actually served to a customer and whether anyone may have been affected.
Authorities say the employee, whose name has not been publicly released, is expected to face criminal charges in Dudley District Court.
Police have not yet announced exactly what charges will be filed.

Typical of the Left to treat voters with such contempt that they think they can just use them as vote cows so they can manipulate the democratic system to gain power.
The miscalcualtions are numerous, firstly, the areas they want to run in voted heavily for Brexit and Burnham wants to drag us back into the EU's stagnant, bureaucratic oligarchy. Secondly, they believe the problem is entirely with Starmer rather than with what the believe and the fact they are impoverishing the country and destroying what our ancestors left us.

With Two Republicans Leading the California Gubernatorial Primary, Democrats Plot to Change the Rules Mid-Election So That a Democrat Will Be in the Runoff
Wall Street Apes
@WallStreetApes May 17 HERE WE GO 🚨 California Democrats are making a move to rig the Governor's race Democrats are putting forth a new ballot initiative to repeal the "Top 2" candidate rule that takes the 2 leading candidates, because the 2 leading candidates are Republicans "A new ballot initiative has been filed to repeal the state's top-two primary and return it to a party-based primary where voters like you would only vote for candidates in your own registered party" The man behind this is Steve Maviglio, he's the former communications director for Governor Gray Davis He's not some random nobody. Steve Maviglio a longtime Democratic insider, he's a top Democrat operative He filed paperwork with the state to change the rules of the game now that Democrats are losing Keep in mind, this "Top 2" system is the same system that locked out Republicans for 15 years But now that it's going to lock Democrats out they're turning to their rigged elections to maintain power and change the rules

@tyranny_stop May 17 🚨California Democrats are advancing a ballot initiative to repeal the Top Two primary system...now that Republicans lead in the Governor's race. The same rule they long endorsed to sideline conservatives is suddenly unacceptable when it risks their hold on power. Their repeated claims of 'saving democracy' ring hollow. This is a blatant rule change to preserve dominance, nothing more. A rule thats lasted over 15 years...disgusting hypocrisy exposed.

@LauraPowellEsq
When asked about the possibility of ending up with two Republican candidates for governor and no Democrats, Gavin Newsom responded:
“We all have agencies. We can shape the future… I don’t anticipate this need to be the case, but there is a ‘break the glass scenario.’ There’s many people that have a deep understanding of what it would look like if Democrats were locked out, and we’re going to do everything to make sure that doesn’t happen. I’ll leave it there.”

He has now been shocked into motion by the encroaching billionaire tax and decamped to scenic Lake Tahoe, from which vantage point he explores what he's done to the rest of us with his free propaganda platform. Word is, he now supports Trump. Yeah, good, but I still hate people like this. I want him to come forward and retract every damn thing he said at that all-hands meeting on the day after Trump's 2016 victory and everything he ever did to destroy freedom and prosperity in California (and everywhere for that matter).

Apparently this is one of those citizens' initiatives, intended to be on the ballot in 2026 -- although how they can get the signatures in time is a "mystery" (I know, as if).
At the same time, Newsom talks of "agencies."
It sounds like a massive, all-out, all-hands crusade. I have an idea it will qualify, and it will pass, and Cali will elect a Democrat governor this year and in years to come just the same.

I don't believe they do. Virginia, for example, has more than 11 state reps in their legislature but only 11 Congressional Districts.
I think the point is that with racially-drawn districts being declared unconstitutional at the federal level, it's reasonable to expect them to be unconstitutional at the state level, too.

Typically there are many more state reps than federal. So no they do not used the same, but there can be some commonality, just with more state districts adding up to one federal.
But losing state reps, because racial gerrymandering is illegal, means they lose control of the state legislature, and the state legislature draws up the federal districts. So delayed effect, but very important.

Well, depends. The Constitution formally has a guarantee clause that each state has a republican form of government (separation of powers, popularly elected at least in part, etc.). Luther v.

Posted by: whig at May 18, 2026 03:00 PM (E4rtv)
Right now, the dems attract a lot of loons because their districts are so safe, and so gerrymandered into single issue voters. There is a reason we have people like the somlian idiot, or these low IQ black race mongers. They are representing their district.
Making the districts more divers should reduce that. As I said before, it will also expose those voters to the other side of the arguement. The candidates on both sides will have to make their case. Right now, many blacks are in a plantation in terms of representation - they have one option up and down the ticket, so not debate, no thinking, no hearing the other side.

You don't hear much about the Shelby County v. Holder decision, issued by the U.S. Supreme Court of 2013, it struck down Section 4(b) of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 as unconstitutional killing preclearance as the emergency clause of the original VRA was deemed past its expiration date. Court has been set on deracializing for a while including higher ed, and now this.
Democrats and black activists are upset as it is a torpedo at the rotten urban districts. You cannot draw rotten boroughs packed with minorities anymore to gain seats.
This will affect even local races on city councils, state legislatures, etc. by denying the reliable tool the left does to get power, suing and having their pet judges award them a slice of political power.

"Feeding Our Future" Looting Mastermind Aimee Bock: "I Struggle to See How" Ilhan "Omar" Wouldn't Have Known About the Pillaging of the American Taxpayer
The Party of Looters & Shoters, continued.
I suppose this could just be a convict attempting to get a deal in exchange for her testimony. But she's not really offering testimony. She doesn't claim that she knows Ilhan Omar was involved in the plot. She's speculating that Ilhan Omar must have known, which is not witness testimony, just speculation and kibbitzing. And of course: she's right. It beggars belief that Ilhan "Omar" wasn't part of this.This comes close to testimony that could actually be introduced at court: She says that Ilhan "Omar" secured the waivers that allowed the fraud to continue with no oversight, verification, or inspection, and that every time one of those short-term waivers was about to expire -- which would allow inspectors to check up on the fraudster -- "Omar" intervened to protect the fraudsters. But then, this is all public record.
The Minnesota "mastermind" of the state's massive COVID meal fraud claims "Squad" Rep. Ilhan Omar was in on the $250 million scam. Aimee Bock, founder of nonprofit Feeding Our Future, was convicted in March 2025 of conspiracy, bribery and wire fraud for allegedly helping restaurant owners file fake or inflated claims during the pandemic to steal millions in child nutrition funds from the government. She spoke to The Post by video call this week from Sherburne County Jail, where she is awaiting sentencing. "I struggle to believe that she wouldn't have known," Bock said of Omar. Dozens of members of Minnesota's Somali community have been convicted of fraudulently billing the state's Department of Education for millions of meals they claimed they served to low-income children during the COVID outbreak -- while pocketing much of the money. Ilhan Omar's name came up six times in $250M fraud case -- after she loosened oversight of fed funded food programs Bock has consistently denied knowingly participating in the fraud and insisted she tried to warn state officials. Her group would review the reimbursement paperwork sent by the local restaurants supposed to provide meals, send them out and then distribute the federal funds to them. "The notion that I'm personally responsible for all of it . . . is so frustrating. I'm the only white person out of 80 or 90 individuals [charged in the fraud]. I'm the only one that doesn't speak the language," she added.
Omar was instrumental in loosening the laws that set the stage for the scheme -- first by introducing the MEALS Act to Congress in March 2020, which allowed the US Department of Agriculture to issue waivers of school-meal requirements during the pandemic. The waivers dramatically eased oversight of the federal programs by allowing restaurants to participate without any of the usual site inspections. Omar would personally step in whenever those waivers ran out, allowing the rampant fraud to continue, Bock alleged. "There had been a couple times early on that there were some gaps -- a waiver would be set to expire on maybe the 15th of a month, and then the renewal didn't kick in until the 1st," Bock claimed. "Because of course this was supposed to be a short-term thing . . . we were supposed to be home for two weeks."Hello! Happy New Week!
Omar has been under fire since her wealth mysteriously jumped from almost nothing to up to $30 million in 2024, a windfall she tried to chalk up to an accounting error.

What's driving Epstein is that it's an op and being driven.
The story had a ton of potential energy and Trump was maybe gonna get close so they decided to hang the whole thing on him through a series of plants, planned lies and escapades. And *maybe* an AG pulling some otherwise very inexplicable weirdness about it.
And the plan was to use that story to weight down the second term like Russia before it. Trump put a stop to a lot of it by not allowing it to bifurcate his following. But you can't stop talk shows, news, and so-called "comedy" from harping on about whatever they want.
But make no mistake - Bondi's little maneuver was a nice little molotov cocktail to start the whole thing off. Whether purposeful or just through dire naivete we won't know. But I think I know.

I don't think it was for "favors." I think it was purely fraud to launder the money through Somali "owned" businesses and the politicos get a kickback. Sure, the Somalis were taking suitcases of case out of the country, but suitcases of cash were being delivered to the MN state government officials as well.
And, of course, the various national politicos affiliated with the fraud were getting their cash deposits too.

Interesting.
One working theory I have is they have unintentionally brought in a crapload of Christians. Could pose an unforeseen problem for them. Maybe they think enough imported muslims will put the Christians down?
Remember there was a consistent survey in the UK about 10 years back, that the percentage of people who considered themselves Christian who believe in the Resurrection of Christ was: 17%.
That is a country ripe for the plucking. That number was about 80% here and likely rising with South American imports. Christians may be slow to anger but the Left are GRAVELY miscalculating if they really believe followers of Christ are going to lay down and die in deference to their, or anyone else's ideology.

I think both the GOP and Dem parties are in a race to the bottom but the Democrats, due to their DSA activist base, have dropped below the GOP in being disliked. Trump is dragging the GOP toward the general public while the Democrat candidates and online have been going batshit crazy on negativism, violence, and hatred.
Those aren't firing up voters in the middle even though it stokes the activist idiots on the left into a frothing rage. At some point, it is counterproductive politically to stoke up your own base as the expense of the rest of the electorate.

Her very presence in this country was done illegally. This isn't an intricate, complex matter. This is an easily confirmed through public records slam dunk that could be thrown together in a matter of weeks.
The only explanation is that the DNC was so greatly invested in these type monetary frauds that her prosecution would upset the entire apple cart. We've seen other illegal efforts by the DNC to fundraise. Most ended up anecdotal because they were never pursued. Take away USAID, and the DNC is more dependent upon Wellfare fraud to fill the void.

Its only counterproductive if your base is 30, no now 20, no now 10 percent of the country. Once you go too far on purity, your base gets too small. The GOPe, on the other hand, shows why you need to expel traitors in your midst every so often.

They’ve been catastrophic for decades. Nobody wants what they are selling outside large urban megalopolis. Nobody. Election fraud explains this neatly, or put another way, makes their platform possible.
Politics is the art of the possible. Compromise. Tack to the center. Appeal to the voters.
They stopped doing that 25 years ago. Maybe more. There is an ebb and flow to politics. Nixon and Reagan. Voters get tired of the assholes holding office. They are determined to achieve permanent, one party rule. Fraud is the only mechanism to acquire this, at least on an accelerated timeline. They are Socialists In a Hurry, never forget that.

I think that is organized by former AID funding recipients in the US. Study on one AID program showed something like 80-90 percent of that money never left the US and Western world. Reading William Colby's autobiography showed why. The CIA has been running support for the NGO crowd and politically interfering with politics in the West since the Cold War started. Colby himself was one of the agents charged with preventing Italy from going commie and so Uncle Sam's CIA financed leftists there if they were not commies to split the left.
All the modern CIA did after the Wall fell was change aim at the right and spend money to split the right while still giving leftists a stipend.

Shay's Rebellion scared the shit out of the Founders. Likewise the fact that Rhode Island was blocking the required fixes for the Articles. All amendments to it had to be unanimous. Central govt was bankrupt and a real chance for states to go to war against each other over disputed western territories. So, the Articles could not be fixed due to a unanimous requirement, economy was in the crapper, and states were drifting away from each other with threats of internal riots and disorder.

I think the broad outline of their thinking is that first the Muslims kill off MAGA, then the Muslims politely heel to the elites and/or are mass deported. Then it's paradise, where Barack Obama and Scott Weiner can march down Main Street nude and everyone will proclaim how amazing their junk is or be put to death.

Arrogant Smug Liberal RINO Bill Cassidy Not Only Loses Primary, But Loses It to Two Different Candidates, Getting Shut Out of the Run-Off
Mitt RomneyIf it makes this smug Elmer Gantry pissant cry, it must make the angels smile. Bill Cassidy was a frequent guest on Jake Tapper's unwatched "show," of course. He was usually brought on to, get this, support the Democrats' attacks on Trump. CNN copes and seethes and attempts to defend the Democrats' mole.
@MittRomney The Senate to now lose an exceptionally brilliant and creative mind, an MD who chairs healthcare, and a person of character. Bill Cassidy's departure is a loss for the country.
Trump sent a message by targeting Bill Cassidy. In defeat, Cassidy delivered one backOh it's a moral victory. Awesome.
Oh he was fighting for the future while Trump only cared about the past. Awesome. Cassidy offers two contradictory claims, both which, get this, attack Trump and elevate Cassidy's ego. First, he says that the honorable thing to do after a loss is to just accept it and not whine and make excuses and attack one's opponents as dirty schemers.
Louisiana Republican Sen. Bill Cassidy wanted his reelection campaign to be about the "present and the future." President Donald Trump had other plans.
"You don't pout, you don't whine, you don't claim that the election was stolen ... you don't manufacture some excuse," Cassidy said. "You thank the voters for the privilege of representing the state or the country for as long as you've had that privilege. And that's what I'm doing right now."Okay I get it, you are better than Trump. Awesome. But then Cassidy immediately... bitches and whines and claims that Trump is a schemer who unconstitutionally used "the levers of power" to defeat a political opponent.
"Let me just set the record straight: Our country is not about one individual. It is about the welfare of all Americans and it is about our Constitution," Cassidy said. "And if someone doesn't understand that and attempts to control others through using the levers of power, they're about serving themselves. They're not about serving us. And that person is not qualified to be a leader."Which is what politics is, defeating political opponents. Isn't it, Bill? You sure thought so when you attempted to boot Trump out of the White House. He's a loser and always has been and I hope his defeat sends a message to the other arrogant, egotistical Fussy losers.
...Cassidy refused to answer questions about whether he'd vote again to convict, now knowing that the entire impeachment case as an op and a frame-up. He's just too egotistical (unwarrantedly so) to ever admit error. He dodges those question by saying he doesn't want to talk about the past, only the future, in a line cribbed from noted moral stateswoman Hillary Clinton. Trump wasn't buying it. And he's now saying: ON TO MASSIE!
Cassidy became the first GOP senator to lose renomination in close to a decade, a remarkable downfall that shows again how Trump dominates the party.
Cassidy, who pats himself on the back for not whining and making excuses, whined some more and made some more excuses by complaining about people "attacking me on the internet," which is totally the sort of thing that a forward-thinking future-focused statesman should spend his nights obsessing over.
"His disloyalty to the man who got him elected is now a part of legend, and it's nice to see that his political career is OVER!" Trump wrote Saturday night on social media.
In backing Letlow against Cassidy, Trump achieved something he has not done yet in his extraordinary political career: defeat a senator from his own party in a primary. It came as he looks to unseat one of the biggest GOP mavericks in Congress -- Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie -- in a House primary Tuesday. Trump was quick to draw a connection between Cassidy and Massie. In a Truth Social post early Sunday morning, Trump said Massie "is an even bigger insult to our Nation than" Cassidy and reiterated support for Massie's primary challenger, Ed Gallrein.
Bill Cassidy's wife's dance card is going to be so filled this weekend you guys. Don't imagine that Bill Cassidy is some kind of rock-ribbed True Conservative who only voted to convict Trump because Sacred Honor Compelled Him and He Could Not Do Otherwise. He's a filthy liberal RINO like the rest of the grifter losers:
"Insults only bother me if they come from somebody of character and integrity," Cassidy said. "I find that people of character and integrity don't spend their time attacking people on the internet."
Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) on Saturday expressed concern about Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) reputation following another fatal shooting in Minnesota. "The events in Minneapolis are incredibly disturbing. The credibility of ICE and DHS are at stake. There must be a full joint federal and state investigation. We can trust the American people with the truth," Cassidy said Saturday in a post on the social platform X.He has thwarted the MAHA agenda, insisting that every single one of the 70 vaccines a kid gets in the first months of his life are all 100% necessary and that any questioning of this Religious Command from the Gods of The Science (TM) is blasphemy.
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his followers scored a big win Saturday when Kennedy's nemesis, Sen. Bill Cassidy, went down in his Louisiana primary. The cherry on top for Kennedy and his Make America Healthy Again movement would be if another Republican doctor in the Senate, Kansas' Roger Marshall, replaces Cassidy next year as chair of the Health Committee. Marshall, unlike Cassidy, is a big Kennedy fan, having founded a MAHA caucus to promote Kennedy's push to combat chronic disease. Whereas Cassidy in confirmation hearings last year grilled Kennedy on his longstanding skepticism of vaccines and has given him a hard time about vaccine policy ever since, Marshall asked God to bless Kennedy and said he'd "never seen a person whose words, written and spoken, have been so misattributed, exaggerated, sensationalized and taken out of context." Three people familiar with Marshall's plans, granted anonymity to discuss his thinking before Cassidy lost his primary, told POLITICO he's been angling for the Health Committee chair for months. An OB/GYN before he got into politics, Marshall has criticized vaccine mandates and supported nutrition-forward health reforms, including a focus on chronic disease prevention. At a Senate Finance Committee hearing in September, Marshall endorsed Kennedy's view that the hepatitis B vaccine is given to babies who don't need it because their mothers don't have the disease. "It makes no sense to me. I've only delivered five thousand babies, but we do a hepatitis test on every mom," he said.

The establishment types, like the "journalists" whose good opinion they so desperately crave, falsely believe that they are some really smart customers. No one believes they are smart, except for they themselves. But they are absolutely convinced on this point. They have argued with themselves about how genius they are and they won that argument with themselves, because they're so wise and persuasive. This leads to their theory of respresentational governance: We, the stupid people who are incapable of higher-level, abstract, future-oriented thought, have elected these Sages and Philosophers to do our thinking for us. When we elect these c**ts, that is the end of our involvement in the political process. Our further thoughts are not welcome because we are so gosh-darn bad at thinking we would just exhaust the lucid minds of Philosopher Kings with our retarded ramblings. The establishment does not seek our counsel, it only seeks our grant of power to it, One Time, after which they will literally never again check in with us. And I say "One Time" because of the fact -- which may be changing (Spoiler Alert) -- that once an establishment c**t has Conned the Rubes into granting them perpetual unchecked power, they essentially have it for life, or until they're found balls-deep inside a 15-year-old boy, because it's very hard to boot an incumbent out of office, particularly in a district or state that is strong for one party. Contrasting with this theory of governance in which the brain-damaged troglodytes of the dirty masses grant power to establishment Philosopher Kings a single time and then let them do what their massively-powerful brains and consciences compel them to do, the brain-damaged troglodytes have a different theory altogether. We don't think we elect these pissant mediocrities to do our thinking for us. We think we've done the thinking ourselves. We think we've done the thinking, and we elect these no-talent, no-accomplishment Student Council Vice Treasurers and Disappointed Theater Kids to heed our thinking and merely do our voting in legislative bodies for us. Now I realize we probably "think" this because our Retard-Brains are glitching and misfiring as usual, but still, we would like to be heard on this point. But, because it's almost impossible to get voters animated enough to vote these self-declared Philosopher Kings out of office in one-party states or districts, the establishment types who believe we've elected them to do our thinking for us been permitted to carry on acting as if we elected them to do our thinking for us, and we have not had any practical, repeatable method of correction and punishment for this grievously false conception of their role in government.
Until now, my fellow morons and brain-damaged troglodytes who have no capacity for higher-level thought.
The Philosopher Kings serving as state representatives and senators in Indiana, which, let's face it, is the government equivalent of a job as Arby's Night Manager, decided that comity with the Democrats and the good opinion of the leftwing media was far, far more important that the voters' decision that redrawing congressional districts was imperative as we close in on the most important midterms in a century. The voters finally got their say. We won't get those lines redrawn, but we will have no representation going forward. ... I'm not so big on praising Trump here, because I didn't really elect him to do my thinking for me, either. But he's right on this issue and extremely right on the question of disciplining and ejecting arrogant, defiant "representatives."

There is wiggle room here. If all we wanted was mob rule, we'd use a computer to tally the votes of every citizen. In a Republic, the representatives of the people are supposed to engage their brains, and sometimes, yes, vote contrary to what the people say they want. That takes courage, and a willingness to lose one's seat over a matter of high principle. That isn't what we're talking about here, though. Guys like Cassidy and Cornyn just did what they wanted, unless it was close to an election. They chose poorly.

The elites like Cassidy or Romney thought they had it rigged to die in office if they liked. That is why they hate populism. It means that their words and actions are accountable to the masses and that is intolerable to these pseudo aristocrats.
The Democrat elites have largely folded to their leftist DSA activists but the GOPe types defy their base party voters all the time. That is why they have to go and the filibuster be broken, preferably by the GOP while it still has a chance of governing. The old Senate GOP ways of always finding a way to avoid doing what the base wants as policy has to be killed with fire.

Bruce Springsteen's Boston tickets are not selling out likely due to outrage over his high ticket prices, which can reach up to $3,000, making them unaffordable for many fans. Additionally, his political messaging and the perception of catering to wealthier audiences may have alienated some of his traditional fanbase.

One of the problems is that concert tours used to be loss-leaders to encourage people to buy records and tapes from the band.
Streaming revenues are much smaller, so the bands have to make their money on the concerts themselves.

And he’s still saying Trump was wrong about the 2020 election being stolen, when with every passing day, and DOJ investigation, that’s being proven true.

Too bad he didn't lose the primary before the last war powers act vote. Might've been able to end the Iran war and especially seriously piss off Chump
We wouldn't have institutionalized anti-vaccine quackery if he had just voted not to confirm. But he didn't want to upset the Republican party, presumably to keep his job. Now he doesn't have a job and we have anti-vaccine quackery. The worst of both worlds for him and us.
Is there any chance this guy will start voting against Trump? Him and Cornyn both may be left out in the cold, but they still won't oppose all this. It's unreal to watch.
per the NYT, this is a simple case of him being punished for crossing the invincible and triumphant Trump. Whereas in reality it's a case of someone who jettisoned his principles and education and was left with no support.
I would have more sympathy for Cassidy if he weren't such a little bitch. I never voted for McCain, but god damn did I respect that man. I cannot say the same for Cassidy.
McCain would have died telling Trump to go fuck himself. I disagreed with him....but when he died, I did shed a tear for a great American patriot.

Heh, he is literally older than grandpas for the college sort, trending on great grandad for many. His target to get mo money is the insufferable upper class twits that remember back to the 70's and 80's when he was sticking to the man. The man in that case was Ronald Reagan. Creatively Springsteen died somewhere in the 80's as do most arena rock acts ended up doing.

Given Springsteen’s intelligence and proclivities, I suspect they can’t be lowered, not without losing money on every ticket and having to make it up in volume.
As The ARC of History! wrote, concerts are no longer self-serving marketing events for other products. Add to that that Springsteen is a dinosaur probably still spending money and hiring hangers-on like it was the Jurassic Seventies, and there’s not a lot of room to drop prices.
Also, and let’s be honest here, does he really want people in his audience who aren’t well-off enough to afford those tickets?

2. People still hanging onto the idea that Trump is protecting powerful Epstein clients, including Trump himself.
3. Groypers

There is a market for nostalgia --in Vegas as a resident. Lots of these old farts are finding that fewer and fewer people actually want to buy a ticket to revisit their youth at nosebleed prices.
These dinosaurs hang on in part because as Rick Beato points out, new bands simply are not being created anymore due to economics. It is all a singer with backing tracks and that singer is autotuned and pitch corrected to within an inch of their actual voice. And now AI is making it even more fake and gay than having some meat puppet on stage miming while the 'band' pretends to play. Even in 'live' shows now as Fil from Wings of Pegasus has demonstrated.
Milli Vanilli has become the norm even for the dinosaurs. If you want that, you can simply watch old music videos on Youtube.

I suspect something similar going on here: people used to go to bars to see a band and get drunk. Local bands were loss leaders for drinking. But if people are spending less at the bar (I don’t know if this is true, I just suspect that it is due to the nature of modern bars) the bar needs to charge more for the band.
I saw a variation on this when I went to guitar school in Los Angeles in the late eighties. Hollywood was a seller’s market, basically, and bands who wanted to get into the trendy clubs had to pay to do so; they had to buy up a certain number of tickets, and then convince their “fans” to use those tickets. It was already very close to the point or past it where a band had to have someone with well-off parents or some other financial backing just to play local clubs.

Trump has unloaded plenty of times on McConnell, but in 2020, he had reelection going on while McConnell was running for his last term. McConnell is gone by the end of the year and if you haven't noticed, Trump unloaded on a key McConnell staffer the other day.
On Lady Lindsay, Trump does push pull as Lindsay knows he risks Trump's bad side if he goes too far, but yet, due to his constituent service record in South Carolina and the GOP machine there, is unlikely to lose office.
There is NO purity in politics, it is always about means and ends tradeoffs which turns off all true believers.

I think that in the past I have mostly ingested corndogs in the privacy of my own home or together with fellow consenting corndog enjoyers. But suddenly finding myself as a lone guy downing a corndog out and about felt really awkward.
When I think about it now, one thing that gives me solace is that I don't ever remember seeing anyone eating a corndog while they're driving, because I would totally remember that.
"HAHA! look at the stupid mfer eating a gay corndog! HOMOOOO!", I would happily yell.
But I think that the default level of tenting provided with auto windshields not only helps to protect from the harsh sun but also furnishes the driver privacy for their corndog activities.

And now AI is making it even more fake and gay than having some meat puppet on stage miming while the 'band' pretends to play. Even in 'live' shows now as Fil from Wings of Pegasus has demonstrated.
I haven't stepped foot in a concert hall in many years and have no intention of doing so in the future. Why drive 30 miles and pay inflated prices for parking and a ticket to a routine performance where I'm going to be shortchanged?
100 years ago, there were no good alternatives to going to a live performance.
50 years ago, the alternative (LPs) were bulky and not durable.
Today, I can go online and hear for a nominal subscription price a much wider range of works than I could ever hope to hear live.

Too many of them foolishly sold out their song writing publishing because they needed money. Even for the big groups like the Beatles, Stones, and Who dealt with the likes of Allen Klein trying to grift every nickel he could from the bands. MCA at the time was basically in bed with the mob and did widespread bootlegging of its own artists denying them royalties, etc. by selling off the books copies of their records.
1960's and 70's was a goldmine and Wild West for groups with predatory managers ruining a lot of groups. Similar to the related abuse of stars by their managers in TV.
It caused poor Pete Hamm to kill himself in despair because his manager screwed Badfinger so thoroughly.

Epstein was a con man who screwed everyone around him is my conclusion. Never the sort you actually want in intel as an agent. I can see intel and law enforcement used him as an asset (informer or facilitator) but not as an agent because the blowback would be vast from such a guy and the risk he would try to blackmail the IC or FBI. Using him to provide information or facilitate a transaction to launder money for an IC op, I can see them doing that as the IC uses fronts all the time to limit blowback for what they do.
Same as how both the IC and law enforcement use other criminals because otherwise that world is pretty insular and shut off unless you smuggle in an undercover agent at great risk.

The story had a ton of potential energy and Trump was maybe gonna get close so they decided to hang the whole thing on him through a series of plants, planned lies and escapades. And *maybe* an AG pulling some otherwise very inexplicable weirdness about it.
And the plan was to use that story to weight down the second term like Russia before it. Trump put a stop to a lot of it by not allowing it to bifurcate his following. But you can't stop talk shows, news, and so-called "comedy" from harping on about whatever they want.
But make no mistake - Bondi's little maneuver was a nice little molotov cocktail to start the whole thing off. Whether purposeful or just through dire naivete we won't know. But I think I know.

Agreed. I think Mike Benz is right in that the real action around him is in the classified CIA files, not the FBI files that were released. And I also think there was ultimately less going on with him then pretty much anyone suspects.

THE MORNING RANT: Supreme Court Rules that Freight Brokers Can Be Sued for Hiring Negligent Trucking Companies; Shady Foreign Carriers Hardest Hit?
The question a jury will now be permitted to ask in every state in America is whether the broker exercised reasonable care in selecting the carrier. That means: Did you check the carrier’s safety record? Was the carrier’s FMCSA data available to you? Did the data show elevated crash rates, conditional safety ratings, high out-of-service percentages, or prior enforcement history? Did you have a documented process for evaluating carrier safety? Or did you book the cheapest truck and move on?There is going to be a great deal of confusion in the short term. There is concern that legitimate small carriers will have difficulty booking loads if brokers are scared of not hiring highly-vetted, large-scale carriers. Meanwhile, brokers have generally only had nominal amounts of liability insurance, so they’ll be scrambling in coming weeks to obtain new liability coverage from insurance providers who will also need to sort out just what it is they’ll be insuring. Amidst all this chaos I see a great opportunity for some entity to create a ratings agency for trucking companies. I’ve spent much of my career looking at business reports from Dunn & Bradstreet and credit ratings from Moody’s and the like. If I were an executive at one of those companies, I’d already be organizing a team to create a trucking carrier credit rating system. It would be a one-stop website where trucking companies could upload their organizational and operating histories, and where brokers could subscribe to verify that a carrier meets the broker’s risk appetite. If the big credit agencies aren’t going to create such a clearinghouse, there is an entrepreneurial opportunity waiting there for some tech bro (or gal) with an understanding of the trucking business. Despite the short-term upheaval, this Supreme Court ruling is welcome, since the old system had incentivized the explosion of illegitimate trucking companies using unqualified foreign drivers.---------- If a broker has no documented carrier vetting process, that absence is itself evidence.---------- The Supreme Court told the freight industry something today that it should have already known. If you pick the carrier, you own the choice. Document it. Defend it. Or answer for it.
Good brokers doing good things will be the winners. Bad brokers doing bad things will be the losers.

I do wonder how this is going to affect the USPS, who IIRC had an initiative to use safe and reliable motor carriers for the mail contracts until they realized the entire logistics web depended on chameleon and unlicensed carriers, and the Postmaster decided to put the initiative on the back burner until they could figure out how to do it.

Sadly, serious damage has been done. Legitimate carriers and self-employed were run out of the business by these lawless companies.
It will take a long time for the industry to recover. (Likely with massive companies instead of independent truckers.)
I have to guess that was part of the plan. Small companies can't be controlled as well as large ones. (That's why COVID was used to kill off as many small businesses as well.)

My sense reading a couple of articles on this is that trucking used to be a high trust industry where people did not worry about lots of regulations. But then we imported the third world from low trust societies and so now high trust industries are overrun with corruption and fraud, and so all middlemen will end being held to higher standards because the days of self-policing are over as long as Somali pirates are in our midst.

Interstate trucking was highly regulated until the Carter era with the Interstate Commerce Commission. Rates, who could enter the job, unionized drivers (Teamsters) etc. Same as the airlines. Deregulation made it cheaper for truckers with non unionized firms springing up to take business from the old unionized firms. I think Yellow Freight was the last to fall of those.
But the relatively high trust environment continued as long as Americans were the primary drivers, brokers, etc.
Open borders, endless 'refugee' streams, etc. broke that model as it has for other fields. Economic migrants have little incentive to actually acclimate, especially if they are embedded in a critical mass of their own societies back home.

Cream cheese icing has less butterfat than buttercream icing. Same as if you substitute yogurt in cooking for other fat (usually seed oils nowadays) binders like in salad dressings.
The fat is the binder for the sugar whether in cheese or butter and allows it to be spread easily versus the granular or powdery nature of sugar (confectioners versus processed/raw sugar granules).

This ruling involved whether a federal law regulating trucking precluded states from acting. So it was a question of the dormant commerce clause versus commerce clause. Dormant commerce clause allows states to regulate even if a federal law exists as long as the state law does not contradict the federal law (see Gibbons v. Ogden and most recently in National Pork Producers v. Ross in 2023).
Congress has to be explicit under the Commerce clause of excluding any state role in regulating interstate commerce for the supremacy clause to kick in. Most commerce regulation subjects get a mishmash of local, state, and federal regulations.

Amazon reviews are shit.
I reviewed a cellular network extender that the seller advertised as fit for Verizon network use, which I knew to be unfit for purpose, because it was the exact model that I knew that Verizon stealth kicked off the network. The seller was offering to sell inoperative junk for ca. $300. Amazon rejected my review for reasons, even though it was factual and appropriate to the device being offered and would have protected their customers.

Rotten elites that cultivate a welfare class are the usual culprits. Workers and middle class (excluding government employment) are the wealth generators. And the elites and the welfare class despise them. The elites despise the middle class and working classes because they want to be superior in ruling and wealth and the middle class/workers prevent the elites from absolute power. The welfare class envies and hates them for not being in the same boat as them. Highlights the failure of the welfare class e.g. bad decisions.
Smaller proportion of working and middle class, you have an awful and stagnant society which both the elites and welfare class prefer versus being a bourgeoisie society dominated by middle/working class.

About 20 years back, I was called in to inspect some cellular telephone equipment that I'm pretty sure was stolen off the truck. They wanted us to resell it on consignment to the wireless carriers. A bunch of Russians ran the company out of a VERY nice 100k sq ft warehouse in Ontario, CA. Almost completely empty except for the equipment I was inspecting and about 20 pallets of huge bigscreen TVs still in the box. They had a hand-written sign taped to the front window identifying the company, and they all were sitting at desks in the office, playing video games on 50-60 inch monitors. They all drove high-end Mercedes sedans parked outside the office.
Doods sounded like Boris Badenov clones, and they were SERIOUSLY scary, complete with Russian Mafiya tatts.

The dispute was whether a federal statute regulating the trucking industry. Forget the acronym, but brokers were raising this statute as defense claiming that it did not allow lawsuits in state courts (or federal courts using diversity jurisdiction) for liability. The federal law precluded states from applying liability laws to the brokers by the supremacy clause and the commerce clause. So it was an interpretation of a federal law as to whether it actually extended and protected brokers from liability.
Scotus interpreted the act that it does not preclude states from making brokers liable as any broker protections were NOT clearly stated in the congressional act. So states can regulate. Classic dormant commerce clause case.

I am most decidedly not a fashion maven, but once I went to work wearing mis-matched shoes. I had tried one each of two pairs to see which color looked best with my outfit and forgot to change both feet to the winning color. Fortunately, both shoes had the same heel height.

The worst thing is that it's obvious to me that he's just reading one of those lameass campaign flyers that Cornyn has been sending out. That's another reason Cornyn is going to lose, btw - he's not doing any actual campaigning (he doesn't know how to, I think) - he's just spent a lot of money to send out mailers saying "I've Always loved Donald Trump! Really! I have!!!"

Hugh Hewitt is part of the Mitt Romney class. And I hate it, because when I got divorced, he personally reached out to me and was so amazingly kind. He did not need to do that, I was then, and am now a nobody. I believe for some of the old guard it’s really just a matter of not being able to get past the brashness of Trump.

Was the court applying existing law in a straight-forward manner (the courts' only legitimate function)? Or were they legislating in an area where actual legislatures have failed to do their jobs?
And aside from this, as noted by one rando commenter elsewhere I just saw, it's fairly troubling that the massive (expensive, and like all regulatory structures a burden) law enforcement and regulatory superstructure that exists to enforce standards apparently didn't do its job here, so it's left to the shake-down, er, liability bar to do it.

"It was at this point I began to panic; something was going horribly long, and I needed to get through this test before it got any worse. By question 14 my worst fear was upon me; the Satan bears' burning, hot, liquidy dark magic crashed against my anal sphincter like a tidal wave.

We've almost lost some pets. Uh it's it's a little scary. Andy XXXXXX is one of a handful of residents along this Atlanta cul-de-sac that had been dealing with a recent Whimo invasion. It has been primarily in the mornings. Um, but it's unpredictable really.

Key Issue: The Court asked lower courts to reconsider whether private individuals and groups can sue under Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, following last month's ruling that weakened its scope.
Recent Cases: Disputes involve Mississippi NAACP and voters and Native American tribes in North Dakota, challenging legislative maps as discriminatory.
Implications: Limiting private lawsuits could sharply reduce enforcement of Section 2, affecting the ability of citizens to protect voting rights independently of the Attorney General.

Questioning leftists based on the observed and obvious impacts of their politics is always an exercise in futility.
They know letting violence thugs out leads to more violence. And yes, they WANT more violence.
Because people will give up their freedoms in the name of safety even if it is to the people that are allowing that violence...as long as they have the FNM running interference.
Note for example how the FNM quashed discussions of who killed Iryna Zarutska but you can bet there are a bunch of initiatives the left is demanding that include her as a crime statistic that would do nothing to stop her killing...

The federal judge in the Luigi Mangione murder trial ruled Monday that a gun and notebook allegedly linking him to the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson can be shown to the jury. The ruling is a blow to the defense, who argued the items were seized illegally because police had not obtained the required search warrant.

This was a correct decision. In this case, the court ruled that states could regulate as Congress did not explicitly preclude states from regulating issues of safety under the Federal Aviation Administration Authorization Act of 1994 (FAAAA) which deregulated the airlines and trucking industry. This law banned states from regulating routes, prices, and services but included an exception for states to address safety concerns.
Straightforward statutory interpretation in denying brokers liability protection from states because making brokers responsible for the safety records of contracted trucks is indeed not precluded explicitly by Congress.

Here is a clue. It always has been all the way back to the founding. That is why electing judges is probably a more truthful way than appointing them for a life term and expecting them to be devoid of political impulses.
Same with juries, etc. What has been masked in the US for a long time is that a relatively homogeneous society that wanted the same things, etc. has been derailed by dividing society up into to warring factions by immigration, racial and sex based claims, etc. The older divisions in the US were largely economic, the new ones include identity issues that simply cannot be bridged by courts. Thus, political courts and 'justice' often affected by external politics rather than law.

There are a few companies that process and run the numbers on the FMCSA data, then sell the results. SaferWatch, Carrier411, etc. They can provide information on when a trucking carrier supposedly opened its doors, as well as historical concerns like accidents and out-of-service issues.
Problem is, the APIs for them are... not usually enterprise-grade. Part of that is probably having to interoperate with different trucking ERP software, mergers and acquisitions of said software, and the kill shot of firing the actual devs that had historical knowledge of said software to be able to know how to build new features in or fix broken ones.

It's my understanding that it's already very difficult to get legit work from a broker if you have a short track record; so much so that many arrangements exist for new driver to operate under the authority/license of an established outfit, just to get access to freight broker boards.
The brokers are are being negligent are already sticking out like a sore thumb and hiring those that others will not.

The largest class I took in college was an introductory psychology class held in an auditorium. I have no idea what made the class one of those popular ones everybody took; I signed up for it because it was an introductory psychology class.
On the first day, they used “Starry Starry Night” and a slideshow of Van Gogh paintings to illustrate something. I don’t remember what, nor the professor’s name, but the song stuck with me forever.

Oh, art-related...from Instapundit...
A fascinating art social experiment unfolded on social media this week after someone shared an actual Monet painting as an AI-generated artwork and asked people to explain what makes the “AI image” inferior to a genuine Monet piece. There was no shortage of “sharp-eyed” critics eager to chime in.
It all started after X user @SHL0MS posted the painting and wrote: “I just generated an image in the style of a Monet painting using AI. Please describe, in as much detail as possible, what makes this inferior to a real Monet painting.”
* * * * * * * *
“The fact that it looks like s**t and is s**t,” writes @RDL0013 in a since-deleted reply. “Slop. Doesn’t look anywhere near like a Monet. Looks exactly like somebody trying to replicate style and achieving like 20% of it. Not as vibrant as Monet’s typical choice..

It’s one of the silliest things about such “cautionary” movies. We don’t arrest people for literally committing worse and worse crimes that are obviously going to lead to murder. We don’t arrest people for posting actual threats to commit murder.
Minority Report could have been a lot funnier—or a lot more dystopian—if Tom Cruise’s troubles were against the background of a world where the subways were unusable because of all of the obvious crimes in which the perpetrator was caught and let go; and if politicians were regularly killed because people who threatened to kill them were allowed to try.

The problem is not that we are exporting extra oil, the problem is that we don't have sufficient refinery capacity since no one has built a new refinery since 1976 and California is shutting their refineries down.
ALSO because of the Jones Act (which restricts US to US port shipping on non-US built and operated hulls which was put in place to "reduce the cost and facilitate the market for US shipbuilding" and did the opposite) we can't ship from the East coast to the West coast, so they sell the oil and refined fuel overseas.
We had a restriction on exporting crude. It drove the prices up by killing production because it restricted the market and there was not enough capacity to refine here in the US. It will do it again. Until we have more refineries.

Saw the new horror movie "Obsession" this weekend.
Very well done horror movie, shocking in parts but not spectacularly gory (except for one part). Not the date movie of the year.
The story concerns a guy in love with a gal who has him in the friend zone. He wants to tell her how he feels but is too shy, and kind of a weenie.
He buys her a silly "Make a Wish" gift but blows that moment and in a moment in frustration uses it himself to "make her love him more than anyone in the world". His wish comes true...but not in the way he wanted. Yes, this is a Monkey's Paw type story. Hijinks ensue.
It's pretty great. Great Acting. Great Writing, directing, and editing. You will be shocked, creeped-out, and kept on your toes throughout the movie. It's a horror movie so I don't want to oversell it. But, great job to all involved.
My one complaint is that it comes to a great and satisfactory horror ending one minute or so before the actual end before it comes to the actual end. IMHO, they should've stuck with that but the actual ending is fine.
If this sounds like you will like it, you will love it.

Thank you very much for the review!!
On Instagram - which doesn't piss me off - Madeleine and Violet McGraw had pictures and raved about the movie.
Madeleine was Gwen in 'Black Phone' one and two and her sister Violet was the human girl in the 'M3gan' movies so they've done horror movies. Nice to have another opinion though.
I'll look for it when it hits home video. I like closed-captioning.

Austin Police Chief Lisa Davis said a 15-year-old and a 17-year-old were taken into custody after a string of shootings, vehicle thefts and robberies across South and East Austin.
Authorities said the 17-year-old had an active warrant for stealing a firearm from the same store where the 15-year-old allegedly stole another gun Saturday. Investigators believe the suspects stole more than four vehicles during the spree and may have switched vehicles multiple times.
. . . .
Late Sunday night, the Manor Police Department announced a third suspect who fled from a vehicle during a pursuit in Manor had been located and detained. Officials said there is 'no ongoing threat to the public at this time.'

A New York state court judge blocked prosecutors in the murder trial of Luigi Mangione from using some of the evidence from his backpack when he was detained by police in Altoona, Pa.
Mangione is accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Manhattan.
“The evidence found during the search of the backpack at the McDonald’s must be suppressed, including the magazine, cellphone, passport, wallet and computer chip,” the judge wrote.

___________
Can't say I'm an expert, but building a new refinery - assuming the BANANAs let you - is that it's incredibly capital intensive. I can see expanding and debottlenecking existing capacity but I also see that LyondellBasell's Houston refinery is being demolished for lack of a buyer.

During my 2 hour exclusive interview with Cynthia West
@Cyntaxed007
, she explained in greater detail the sexual things
@RepThomasMassie
asked her to do that she didn’t want to do.
She told me that when they would have sex, Massie asked her to tell him dirty and pornographic stories that included fake scenarios about him meeting up with other married couples and girls as young as 19 and 20 years old. Cynthia recalls telling him the young woman he wanted her to tell made up sexual stories about was in similar age to his daughter, and she declined and refused to indulge his sexual demands because Cynthia felt it was demeaning, gross and inappropriate.
She recounted one instance where Massie told her they were even going to “meet up” with the couple he demanded that she sexualize in stories while they were intimate.
I asked her if she was suggesting Massie was asking her to engage in swinger meet ups, and she said yes.

The Morning Report — 5/ 18/26
Good morning kids. As Bugs Bunny imitating Jerry Colonna might intone "Ahh, something new has been added!" Well, not really, as the age old theme of what's old is new again is in operation today. Last week it was Hantavirus, and now we have this crap raising its head again:
If Americans won’t have the meekness to get sick enough ahead of the midterm elections to justify lockdowns and all mail-in ballots, it seems globalists might be willing to manufacture another “global health emergency.” Hopefully Donald Trump and We the People are too smart to fall for that destructive nonsense twice.Well, I fear that that might be putting hope over experience. I'd like to think the sentiment of "We won't get fooled again!" is indeed our collective watchword. Well, we shall certainly see, although color me skeptical, and yet maybe just maybe?
Dr. Anthony Fauci deserves to be indicted — but he probably won’t be, because his role in the origin of the COVID-19 pandemic that he fought so hard to cover up opens up a can of worms that nobody wants to confront.Well, as fictional lawman William Munny would coldly state "Deserves got nothing to do with it!" Our all too real corrupted justice system will shield Fauci until the day he draws his last breath likely a free man and rolling in ill-gotten wealth from a career of inflicting, pain, misery and death on countless innocent people. And also in the justice delayed is justice denied category we have the second worst crime of the century that goes hand-in-hand with COVID since the latter was the cover that enabled this in the first place:
He has his great patron Joe Biden’s blanket preemptive pardon to keep him safe from federal charges. But the recent indictment of his former factotum, David Morens, on federal charges of conspiracy and record-destruction for scheming to cover up Fauci’s role in funding the risky gain-of-function research on bat viruses at the notorious Wuhan lab in China, where the COVID-19 outbreak almost certainly began, has raised hopes that Fauci is still in the crosshairs of the DOJ.
President Trump has declared Biden’s last-minute autopen pardon of Fauci invalid, which would make it possible that he could be prosecuted for perjury over his 2024 testimony to Congress.Fauci’s boss, Francis Collins, didn’t receive an autopen pardon, so he also is fair game.
Then there is the bombshell testimony last week from CIA whistleblower James Erdman, who alleged a multi-agency coverup involving Fauci, who was then the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
“Dr. Fauci’s role in the coverup was intentional,” Erdman testified, alleging that Fauci inserted himself into CIA deliberations about the origins of the virus — once on Feb. 3, 2020, and again on June 4, 2021 — to try to influence the analysis away from the lab-leak hypothesis most CIA analysts were leaning toward and instead persuade them to accept the farcical “natural origins” narrative, in which the virus bubbled up from an animal in a wet market fully adapted to infect humans.
According to Erdman, Fauci provided the Intelligence Community with “a conflicted list of curated subject matter experts, public health officials and scientists,” several of whom were involved in publishing the notorious discredited Nature Medicine paper, “The proximal origin of SARS-CoV-2,” which dismissed the accidental lab leak theory.
During this week’s broadcast of Fox News Channel’s “Sunday Morning Futures,” Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche discussed the Department of Justice’s ongoing efforts to uncover evidence that the 2020 election was “rigged.” The acting AG vowed to make public his agency’s findings.. . “And the reality of the answer to that is because it takes a lot of work to uncover what happened in 2020,” he continued. “It takes a lot of old, good old-fashioned law enforcement, police work, which is what we’re doing. And we have great prosecutors working on it as well. And I expect that — and I assure you, I assure the American people that as soon as we have something to say for it, whether it’s charges, whether it’s a report, whether it’s the results of an investigation, the American people will learn about what we uncovered.”Let 's assume for argument's sake that the evidence is indeed released what justice/restitution is there for President Trump and the American people? The only thing we can hope for is that it has a salutary effect going forward. But considering the cancer that is Leftism and the Democrat Party will require the equivalent of a radioactive stake through its black heart for anything resembling justice and the prevention of 2020 ever repeating. So, "By any means necessary" means what exactly?
The same people tagging their social media with ‘8647’ as they fume from their Northern Virginia bedroom communities over federal government reforms can hardly claim that they don’t want Trump dead. It’s as implausible as their companion claim that Iran’s chant of ‘Death to America’ is a metaphor for geopolitical change and not a call for war and destruction. They’d like us to believe that they want Trump dead badly enough to buy a $12.95 ‘Made in China’ sign wishing for that happy outcome, but that they don’t actually want to see it happen. They’re not denying the three official Trump assassination attempts by their own faction (not counting the Iranian ones) because they don’t want Trump dead, but because they don’t want their side to suffer the political fallout and they don’t want Trump to pick up political sympathy. It’s not the murder they object to, it’s taking the blame for it, and the victim becoming a martyr.As if they really care at this point?!
And so New York City Councilwoman Vickie Paladino (R-Queens) quite correctly observed that “Democrats have declared the entire electoral process illegitimate because they sometimes lose elections. They are prepared to torch the entire country in order ‘neutralize red states’. This is the language of civil war.” Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch noted thatTop of FormBottom of Form “@KamalaHarris doesn’t think it is a ‘bad idea’ to destroy our constitutional republic.” Indeed. That is exactly the case. And it’s not just Harris alone. The Democrats in general have now refined their hatred of America’s Founding Fathers to include a determination to destroy the system they built. They constructed a vehicle for limited and responsible government. But for Harris and the left, it’s all about raw power: getting it, and keeping it. Forever.Because they will never just leave us alone to live our lives in peace, It's us or them. Either we submit or die. And neither of those options are acceptable to me. So unless there is a massive sea change in their worldview an stranglehold on the cultural/educational system as well as preventing them from attaining any position of political power, from president all the way down to town dog-catcher, for at least a generation, we face an existential threat, my friends.

Sanctions were lifted, granting the Iranian regime access to an estimated $150 billion in previously frozen assets. The U.S. also covertly sent the mullahs $1.7 billion in cash. Every major concession in the deal strengthened Iran, giving the regime money and breathing room to develop nuclear weapons, instead of constraining its behavior.

The rest knew it was all bullshit pretty quickly. Some (mostly) those of us who knew it was bullshit to begin with) did just say "whatever, you're all full of bullshit. Miss me with you masks and needles. Also, reopen everything."
But most took the real message - "this is bullshit but you better pretend it isn't or we'll keep harming you" - to heart.
As they will next time.

I know we get on medical science, but the US medical field has been wildly improving cancer treatments just in this last decade. As we say for my blood cancer, don't ask Dr. Google for life span - he's outdated more and more every day.
For the record, at my diagnosis, I was projected to live 2-5 years by Dr. Google (when I had my original wrong diagnosis). If it had been the now correct one, I'd have been projected to live about 13 months. Right now, I'll be 6 years this July, when I'm likely swapping to treatment 2 with no sign of hopping off this mortal coil yet.
Just make sure you get a doc who is an expert on your cancer and what's possible.

An alternative explanation; our current higher education no longer matches up with current needs and requirements. The system is dying because of that, and anyone with true critical thinking skills has already figured that out.
I don’t mean all schools, I believe many of the Junior Colleges and regional schools still do a fine job of meeting their users needs. But the “flagship” Ivy League schools, the “big names”? Inhabited by midwit’s and halfwits only.

I think the US forces in that theater needed some time to rearm and regroup after several weeks of pretty intense operations.
IMO there was (likely) some covert stuff going on behind the scenes with Israel to get the civilian Iranians some organized resistance to the IRGC. The IRGC seems to be the entity we have the greatest number of problems with. It should be something the locals deal with... if they can.

Even thought I recognize it's been getting worse and worse, I console myself knowing that it's been that way for a long time. Besides, you aren't allowed to say you're anything but are far leftist in academia.
Academia doesn't seem to have anything to do with actual academics in the literal sense anymore. They're leftist factories churning out little haybale cubes of indoctrinated, propagandized robots who seem to have no other calling than to spread their leftism through "activism," and yes, violence. They can't be reasoned with. I'd love nothing more than to see the utter and complete collapse of the American "education" system. The root of so many problems, so much decay and rot in the young American mind.

Do you still feel the trauma? Things have somewhat calmed down here. We have a couple of sycophants installed, but as bad as other agencies. The higher-ups try their best to protect us. But I still feel the trauma every day. Every week is a grind dragging my work stuff back and forth to the office since RTO. I take sick or annual leave at least once a week. I’m drinking and isolating too much but it’s my way of coping, although I try to work out and eat healthy.
I’ve adapted but i keep telling myself this is not normal and to keep talking about telework. Dont let the convo die.
Nothing is normal for me. I commute 3.5-4 hours every day (roundtrip) just to talk to people on Teams. Walk, train, walk, Metro, walk, second Metro line, walk some more. Exhausting. Every day all I want is to wake up and hear the good news.
I'm just here out of spite now. I stay just to piss people (the sycophants) off.
We are now being micromanaged due to being perceived as the enemies of the admin's priorities whose every decision must be triple guessed. It's real fun.
Just maliciously complying until I retire in 2 years. I’m already at my MRA.

A former Air Force sergeant who defected to Iran did severe damage to American intelligence operations, and is suspected of revealing the names of double agents run by United States military intelligence, some of whom had their cover blown after her defection, according to former counterintelligence officials.

The woman in question defected back during Obama's reign when he was sending pallets of cash to the Ayatollahs.
Monica Elfriede Witt, 39, a former Air Force counterintelligence agent apparently converted to Islam and speaks Farsi.
The story goes on to suggest she gave the IRGC detailed information on American surveillance methods and had access to very important and closely held security operations.
Whether this any bearing on current events in the ongoing war with Iran/IRGC is debatable, but likely.

For western women I often hear, "But I can wear the hijab and not dress for the male gaze if I want!"
And the hilarious part is a Christian/atheist in the west doesn't have to dress for the male gaze either. The Amish, or women from conservative Christian faiths often do dress quite conservatively...
But other women can and will critique their clothing and I guess this is a trump card.
But of course the bigger problem is that in Islam it isn't you "can" wear the hijab...

I had no use for any of those "colorful" baseball owners of the 70s. About Turner the less said the better. Nothing remains of Finley and Veeck's gimmicks. I despise Veeck for his fable that he was going to buy the Phillies in 1943 and stock it with black players but was stopped by that nasty racist Kennesaw Mountain Landis. There was no contemporary record of any such thing.
And Steinbrenner was a terrible owner. The Yankees success in the 70s was because Gabe Paul repeatedly had to tell George to go piss up a rope. The success of the 90s was because George was suspended and Stick Michael had the freedom to build the team. In between was nothing but dreary teams.

I've never eaten at a chipotle. The first time I saw one was in Denver, in the Highlands neighborhood in the NW of the city. There were enough Mexican and semi-Mexican restaurants, including one that called itself "authentic" New Mexican,* that I was never tempted to try Chipotle.
* The place didn't even have honey in the restaurant, let alone right there on the table when you sat down. Authentic my part-Scandinavian left elbow.

Croatia stormed into the Eurovision final with a song about Ottoman rule and the ancient Christian tradition of tattooing young girls to protect them from Muslim captors.
The song, performed in Croatian, has absolutely nothing to do with the usual “progressive” Eurovision agenda.
It openly condemns centuries of Ottoman Islamic domination over Croatian lands and recalls an old Croatian tradition in which Catholic girls were marked with Christian tattoo symbols in an attempt to protect them from abduction, forced conversion to Islam, and sexual slavery.
The lyrics stating that “many chose the grave because our mothers did not give birth to slaves” were interpreted by many as an act of cultural defiance in an age of self-destructive political correctness — and the audience responded with applause.
Turkey has reportedly already sent official protests regarding the Croatian performers.

I am guessing that it appeals to damaged Western women who want the certainty and boundaries.
For some, it's about power:
Saleha Abedin is an influential founding member of the Muslim Sisterhood, a pro-Sharia entity composed of the wives of some of the highest-ranking leaders in the Muslim Brotherhood. A report by the Egyptian opposition newspaper Al-Liwa Al-Arabi says that these women are recruited to: “smuggle secret documents”; “spread the Brotherhood’s ideology by infiltrating universities, schools and homes”; “fulfill the interests of the Brotherhood”; and “organiz[e] projects which will penetrate [the Brotherhood’s] prohibited ideology into the decision-making in the West … under the guise of ‘general needs of women.’” One particularly noteworthy member of the Sisterhood is Nagla Ali Mahmoud, wife of Mohammed Morsi (the Islamist who was elected president of Egypt in June 2012).
Saleha Abedin is Huma's mom, btw.

A scene in a boardroom, but with dramatic dim lighting, and vaguely Jewish religious trappings. "Oh Lord our G-d, we beg you to make our enemies ridiculous!"
An answer rumbled from the big wooden thing containing the Word of G-d, "Holy Me you guys, just use the Mind Control setting on your Space Lasers. You don't need me to hold your hands through this, and also that would be gaaaay."
An uncomfortable silence ensued. "Uh. Yes. Erm. Th-thank you, oh Lord! We.. we'll do that, right. Right now." And then, putting words to action, the leader pushed a button and a fancy control panel rose out of the hardwood conference room table. As they kibbitz over the controls, the scene fades to black...
...and fades back in to Massie becoming an absolutely ridiculous sexual degenerate, out of nowhere. "This is completely unexpected! I never would've guessed in a million years that a man of such impeccable character and moral rectitude would stoop to such lows!" A nerdy-looking wonk remarks to his nodding wonkette sidekick, as if narrating for a dense American audience.

It does remember articles it has already created - mostly - but it fills them with links to related articles that it may or may not have created, and if you click through to a never before seen page it fills it in for you.
It's a lot like the SCP Project but faster and less coherent and lacking the bits of whimsy and beauty amid the cosmic horror.
Also, don't ask about 1788. We don't talk about 1788.
- Can Apple's new MacBook Neo game? No. (Digital Foundry)
Leave aside for the moment the sorry state of gaming on MacOS generally, it has about one third the graphics performance of the iPad Pro. On the CPU side, while the single-threaded performance is quite good, it is so power-constrained that it runs slower than a Ryzen 5 1600 from nine years ago. Great for a phone CPU, but it is what it is.

The 1788 Borehamwood Pig Riot was a significant public disturbance that took place in the then-nascent township of Borehamwood. The event, primarily characterized by the widespread and seemingly unprovoked rampaging of domestic swine through the community.

Apple generates more gaming revenue than Activision, PlayStation, Microsoft and Nintendo combined through mobile gaming.
While the neo itself can’t game, it would probably be a good platform for mobile gaming development.

The price is low enough, and my agent suggests I could successfully offer a bit less, that I will easily have the funds for the repainting, trim work, porch railings, etc. The interior, once I have the walls of the bedroom and living-dining room repainted to my taste, is almost ready. There are two windows in the ground floor that are cracked, but it is the outer glass of the double-paned windows, not the inner. And I'll need blinds to start with. But the rest would be a work in progress.

And yes, I checked. They do have a flood plain in Terre Haute; it's right by the Wabash River. But this house is out of the flood plain -- no flood insurance! -- and is up a ways from the street in any case.

"In conclusion, let me say that George Washington was successful for three reasons. One was that he never shook the confidence of his friends. Another was that he had a strong will without being a mule. Some people cannot distinguish between being firm and being a big blue jackass.
Another reason why Washington is loved and honored today is that he died before we had a chance to get tired of him. This is greatly superior to the method adopted by many modern statesmen, who wait till their constituency weary of them and then reluctantly and tardily die."

In a commencement speech at Valley Forge Military Academy on May 9, Gov. Wes Moore told graduates the academy had taught them “something that I wish more people in this society understood — that we will not lie, cheat, nor steal, nor tolerate those that do.” For two decades, Moore’s own accounts of his Army service and Afghanistan deployment have tested whether he lives by that standard.Check out the whole thing. Very detailed article. ----- Dino -- you here tonight? Maybe you can answer this question? Why did Tyrannosaurus rex have such short arms?
In an April 2014 interview with the USO’s magazine”On Patrol,” Moore was asked about his duties in Afghanistan. “I was an infantry officer, military police officer and then became special ops when I joined the 82nd Airborne Division,” Moore said. Based on Army records, his answer was not true. Those records show Moore was not an infantry officer, was not qualified in any special operations field and did not deploy to Afghanistan to perform either role.
One T. rex mystery has to do with this giant predator’s relatively tiny arms. Why would it have arms so short that it couldn’t even reach its own mouth? How did it use them? *** Some scientists have recently hypothesized that T. rex‘s short arms were an adaptation to competition with other carnivores. If multiple predators were feeding on a carcass, one could get hurt by accidental bites or even intentional warning bites for getting too close. Shorter arms would be less likely to get chomped. Similar things occur today with territorial carnivores, like Komodo dragons. *** Another possibility is that the arms served little or no purpose at all, so over time, they became vestigial. That’s the scientific term for body parts that don’t have clear purposes anymore, but are still passed down through evolution.On the subject of "maybe there's no reason" - here's a classic from Bill Engvall
Claire McCardell in one of her signature easy pieces, and period patterns showing the breezy direction fashion was heading. These were the anti-New Look dresses. Dior’s structured extravagance was for the runways; McCardell and Schnurer were dressing real American women who wanted to hop in a convertible or chase kids at the beach. By the 1950s, the sundress was everywhere. Lightweight cottons, ginghams, and playful prints ruled the day. Women wore them to picnics, beach days, and backyard barbecues. They were flattering on most figures, easy to sew at home, and perfect for the explosion of leisure time and family travel.
1950s real-life and catalog sundresses Then came the 1960s and the queen of the sundress, Lilly Pulitzer. The story is pure gold: A Palm Beach socialite running a juice stand in the 1960s, she asked her dressmaker for a shift dress that would hide the inevitable orange and pink stains. The result? Bright, bold, sleeveless wonders in wild florals and patterns. Jackie Kennedy (a friend) helped popularize them, and suddenly every woman wanted that carefree, colorful vibe. Lilly’s dresses were double-lined so you could skip underwear. Scandalous! And liberating.
Lilly Pulitzer and the bold, joyful prints that defined 1960s resort wear. By the late 1960s, the sundress had cemented itself as the ultimate summer uniform: short A-lines, wild florals, worn with sandals, cat-eye sunglasses, and smiles. It captured postwar optimism—more freedom, more fun, and clothes that finally worked with women instead of against them.
The sundress is still winning today. You will find them in breezy linen and cotton, in both minimalist neutrals and bold patterns. The versatility make them work for everything from beach days to city sightseeing to backyard barbecues
Current Lilly Pulitzer and Farm Rio The sundress didn’t chase trends; it survived them. From wartime necessity to Palm Beach icon, it remains one of the smartest, most packable, and most flattering pieces in any vacation wardrobe. It is timeless and cheerful after all these decades. ----- Thanks, Piper! Don't forget to check out Piper's X page.

Remember when they had the epidemic about 15(?) years ago. The nightmare would be that it got loose in a big city, where exposure would be very difficult to control and a single person could infect hundreds before dying. It actually did make it to a city, but with heroic efforts, and many trained locals, they were finally able to contain it. One of the big breakthroughs was in getting the locals to abjure their custom of handling the dead.

I can see it. MPs aren't quite real cops, but infantry officers with authority to whonk miscreant soldiers with a nightstick, and get to stand watch stateside. And airborne is just an additional qualification. Of course, airborne isn't really "special operations" either. (You have to be "airborne" to be a Ranger, for example, but being "airborne" doesn't mean you're a ranger.)
Heck, I had 4 different sorts of jobs (as an officer) in the AF, and only 2 of them related directly to each other.

MP, Infantry, and Special Forces are three separate distinct branches for Army officers. Generally they start and end their careers in the same branch.
Crossed pistols, crossed rifles, crossed arrows on their lapels.
No chance in hell they'll go from one branch to another, to a third in a year. School for SF is over a year in itself. And nobody starts there.

Even though my relationships with FGOs in those long ago days were always professional, we'd talk about what we wanted to do in the AF and after, so I can see Mr. Moore talking to his buddy the LTC about a political career and the LTC helping him out.

I had it happen this past week, and you'll love this story. A guy brings his bike in, says when he starts hitting good RPMs on the highway his crank case breather catch canister fills up with oil almost immediately. The 93-up engines breath out through a port in each head and the hose from each port is run into the airbox. Its not supposed to see oil, just vapor. There are filters in each rocker box to help separate the vapor and oil, when they get saturated/old they will pass a little oil. I'm looking at it, and I say no, there is more to this story, there is an added twist here, I need to go deeper. I do a leak down test and I'm getting air escaping the breathers. Ok, he got a bit of blow by and is pressurizing the crankcase. I still sensed there was more, because it was just too much oil. I pulled the rocker boxes, found valve seal fragments in the valve springs. I told the shop owner I'm going into the cam chest where the oil returns. It was clean. I said I'm going farther and went into the pump. The oil pump return passages were packed full of blue viton valve seal rubber. Ooops.

Black oily fouling? They used to sell spark plug anti-foulers. Basically just a short tube about an inch long with a male thread on one end, and a female on the other. Made the plug run hotter.

During an 8 hour run it will consume about a 1/3rd of the entire sump capacity, which is only about a pint. Stinky, sometimes it it smokes visibly bad. Other times not so much.
But the plug tells the tale. A hotter plug would help insofar I wouldn’t need to put a cleaner one in every day. Otherwise it starts missing.
Just came out or nowhere. The plug was burning beautiful, and when it first started missing I didn’t even think to check the plug. Can’t be that. Ha.

Enya, who was born in 1961, is a brilliant artist, and her music is an enduring favorite whenever you want atmosphere in the background that won't overwhelm conversations. I'm sure that everyone's heard her big hits a million times, so instead here's a track with Irish musician Eddie Lee on upright bass, off her eighth studio album Dark Sky Island (2015):
Enya - Even In The Shadows (Official Lyric Video)
https://youtu.be/sgOgodVo4SM
Trent Reznor was born in 1965 and is a genius in the medium of discomfort, basically Enya's opposite. After being in and out of rehab, he is now married with five children, and prefers working on film scores these days as it pushes his music different places than recording and touring would (embracing the discomfort that he also inflicts). So, here's a "Best Rock Song" Grammy-winning track from Nine Inch Nails's most recent album, the Tron: Ares movie soundtrack (2025):

Well you gotta go by the numbers. I looked up the engine. It has a breather hose that goes to the air box. If you can unhook that breather hose from the airbox and run it under a load you may get your answer. If you see smoke coming out or a shit ton of oily vapor then yeah its probably rings. Pulling the airbox gives you a view right into the carb where you may see oil pooled in the carb.

Sorry, it is all the same key ignition unit with the "ears" so I don't have to just twist the key. There is a lever behind it to release the key when I turn it off. The whole thing is out of whack, and sometimes get stuck, but it wasn't until I got the radio and windshield wipers to come back on by turning it off that the fault seemed to make sense.
I think there is an issue with wet weather too, because the windshield wipers reliably won't work when it rains. Probably the key ignition is the main problem.

[1] [2] Born on December 14, 1913, in Berlin-Wilmersdorf, he studied physics and related subjects from 1933 to 1939 in Berlin, Munich, and Frankfurt.
[3] He later pursued an academic career at the Freie Universität Berlin, serving as a scientific assistant in physics from 1951 to 1953, earning his habilitation in physics and biophysics in 1956, founding and directing the Institute for Biophysics, and holding professorships in physics starting in 1960

I saw that the other night, somebody posted it here I think. Note they never mention what star or coordinates in Lyra that was supposedly mapped out.
It did prompt me to look up habitable zone exoplanets in the Lyra region. And lo and behold, there are a few, and one is 1200 ly away. Kepler 442 b. And there is another one, Kepler 62 f, also about 1200 ly away in Lyra as well.
That may have been the genesis of that whole thing.

Probably not an issue here, but silicone oil does NOT play nice with electric switches.
An arc (and you get them on any circuit with inductance) between switch contacts that have silicone.oil on it breaks down the oil into... Silicon (no e). You know, sand? Wears the hell out of them. On low operation over low lifetime, probably not an issue. Company I worked for spent over a mill.replacing relays that had used silicone lubricant. The stuff creeps. Put some on a bolt at the base and it'll be over the head in a week. I don't use it anywhere near an electric switch.

Quartz sand is silicon dioxide, SiO2. Most sand has at least some quartz in it; some sand is nearly pure quartz. SiO2 is a great abrasive, metallic silicon, not so much. Silicon is not really a metal; it's classed as a "semi metal" like germanium and arsenic. Crystalline, a semi-conductor, and brittle.

That prompted me to look up Beta Lyrae. While it appears to the naked eye as a single point of light, it's actually six components, A - F. And Beta Lyrae A is actually a 3 star system, Aa1, Aa2, and Ab. The first two are a semi-detached close binary, meaning one star is pulling material off the other one. All three are B type stars, very hot and massive and short-lived. Some of the other components are just line-of-sight, and they aren't bound. B and F components appear to be moving together with A.

Last year they lost one here with fortunately no casualties. Have not seen if there's a public version of the inquiry report yet. Basically a Growler took off on the cross-runway at North Island, lost power just a few seconds off the ground, and plopped into the water just across the channel. A few seconds later and the jet would have hit either the Nimitz marine research facility or civilian housing beyond. Both personnel ejected safely, one was picked up by a sportfishing boat.
Are was secured and divers got the "black" equipment out of the plane immediately. Talking to EOD guys at my range they said they did quite a bit of diving on the wreck as part of securing and salvage.

O, B, A, F, G, K, M. That's that basic stellar classification. O is the hottest, M are the coolest. Mass also follows that absolutely on the main sequences.
O, B, and A are far too hot and volatile (big stellar winds, loads of UV and other bad radiation) and far too short lived to have life form on planets. The habitable zone for a B type star would be beyond Pluto, and yet still get too much UV.
G and K are probably the most hospitable, and that's a complicated thing. K stars would live much longer than G, giving far more time on the main sequence than G.

AS you might imagine, the Oh be a fine girl thing became considered sexist and possibly rapey by the feminists and now the woke crowd. One enterprising feminist tried to change it to Only Boys Accepting Feminism Get Kissed Meaningfully.
This hasn't caught on yet.
And the grand irony is the original was created by a women, Annie Jump Cannon, of Harvard observatory fame. She was the one of the main ones who came up with the OBAFGKM system. Before it was a mess, and during some massive catalogue they were trying to create, a simpler system was needed.

Nice dresses, Piper! (you're probably gone by now) Wish I could wear stuff like that now. Too old. Too broke.
Weather has been crap for several days now-- windy, cold, wet. A few breaks of sun. Should improve as the week goes on, however. Yay!

There is a Dr. Werner Stein. Only problem is he's a gynecologist in Bavaria, not some linguist specializing in Sumerian tablets.

The traditional mnemonic for wire color code order - black, brown red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, gray, white - has been replaced by "Bad boys rape our young girls but violet gives willingly".
The original had no confusion in remembering which " b" was first (black or brown), because it spelled it out. Can't have that. I'm well out of the training issue now, but it wouldn't surprise me that someone got their panties in a wad over "rape".

I remember that from when I had astronomy in school. K stars are stoooopid long lived stars. Billions and billions of years on the main sequence. Our G star sun would have died before a K star learned to crawl. If any K stars were around just after the birth of the universe they are still out there. Just imagine some planet with life that had billions of years of evolution.

Recently replaced my wiper blades. Sure the old ones had stiffened up a bit. But rain? Been a long long time since I've seen any at all, much less while driving.

It truly seems that every time I turn on my wiper blades they need replacing. Not because they've been used so much, but because they've been crisping on the windshield for a year. Oops, here comes a day of rai-- stupid things are shredded again.

The lifespan for G type, G0 - G9, is around 8 to 15 billion years.
The K type range goes from 15 billion to 70 billion or better. Now, red dwarves, M types go from 100 billion to possible a trillion years.
The problem with red dwarves, first there so small and cool, the habitable zones are very close in, and that means tidal locking for planets which is likely a big problem. But the big one is they can be very volatile with huge flares every so often during the lifetimes.
So, those close planets would get fried by big sterilizing flares from time to time.

They had the Jurassic monopoly in the pistol, shotgun, and rifle business.
In other words, they were small arms dealers.

Back before your time, in the Soviet, supplies and things were so unobtainable, drivers would take their windshield wipers off and store them in the car until it snowed or rained.

Unless you've worked your way up through the chain the best way to start a band is to sponsor one. Then you are operating in your comfort zone, you have a good band and they let you 'sit in' for a couple of tunes. All is good.

Tomorrow afternoon, if all goes well, I'm getting a crown put on a back molar. Dentist offered to just extract it, but was willing to crown it. I'm trying to keep as many as I can!
And that's how we get our kicks.
