Crow demands more feather-brushing. Poor little dog wants to snuggle with the cat but the cat won't have it. Escape horse. Little dog is so happy with his new wheelchair. Stubborn dog. Stray dog finds a toy. Dog and duck are partners in crime. Excitable alpaca. Paw signals. After careful negotiations, they agreed to play. Capybara commando. Timelapse of night skies and dawn. This is just playing right into their narcissism. Laser target practice. Pleasure droid. Does it have a button I can push to silence it?

Phobos orbits very close to Mars and is very fast, well within the areostationary radius (how's that for a word?).
It thus rises in the west and sets in the east as seen on surface, and does that about twice every Martian day.

The guys at JPL (and the ESA) that operate the rovers and orbiters sync themselves with the Martian mean solar day, which is about 24 hours and 40 minutes long.
They've got watches and clocks synced to that and operate shifts on the Martian solar day cycle, which gets out of sync with the earth. They call a Martian day a Sol, and get cute with it, with terms like yestersol, tosol, and solorrow.

Our contractor has been doing that. We are living in the camper while renovations proceed. So far they have pulled out the offending kitchen, laundry room and bathroom, and framed up the breezeway and bedroom. Roofs are on, windows are mostly in. Plumbers and tinners were there this week, and did most of that work to rough-in. Furnace installed, new partitions framed.
Back when we were young and stupid, we did this kind of work ourselves. Now it's just easier to pay and be done.

The Week In Woke
What do you do if you're childless but you really want the attention expectant parents get during gender reveal parties?
Simple: You stage a disability reveal party where you reveal what color of the autism spectrum you've self-diagnosed yourself with, and post it on social media and wait for the coos and applause.Disability reveal parties are the new gender reveal -- and they're even more unhinged. Simone fell down the rabbit hole after an autism reveal cake-cutting video went viral on X. What started as one awkward TikTok turned into a full cultural phenomenon: color-coded diagnosis guessing games, AuDHD parties, autism cupcake toppers at Walmart, Oriental Trading disability party favors, and people treating their mental health diagnoses like a baby to nurture and celebrate. We watch the videos (including the "my brain is bad" one and the completely unhinged joke-diagnosis party that ends in pure Adderall cheers), dig into the Reddit posts from people who actually have autism and hate the idea, talk about why so many people suddenly want disabilities they don't have, and connect it to identity collapse, tax-advantaged ABLE accounts, and the pure Darwinian spectacle of watching people turn their diagnoses into their entire personality.Malcolm makes the point that people want to feel proud of something, but Current Year Norms say you can't be proud of your race (obviously), your culture (that's almost race), your country (so racist), your religion (race-adjacent) or your accomplishments (which you only have due to your race). So what are people allowed to be -- nay, encouraged to be -- proud of? Obviously: Their sexuality -- as long as it's Not Straight! -- and their mental illnesses.
I missed this earlier: DSA candidate for WI governor said she had an anxiety attack because there were too many "old white people" near her.
Francesca Hong For GovernorWell, your proficiency with written English is extremely low, so.... Get out. Go back to the shithole countries you claim are so much better than this country that you've invaded.
@FrancescaHongWI I ate two bites of my kid's cheeseburger at a Culver's in black river falls and told him they ran out of ice cream. Mostly just wanted to leave bc I was on the verge of a anxiety attack...to many old white people who didn't think we spoke english
Gad SaadDo we really need more of these hateful, ignorant, backwards monsters? Shock: Socialists are all pampered children of the wealthy who have never worked a blue collar job. And the jobs they have are all e-mail type fake jobs at NGOs or political organizations.
@GadSaad Every single individual who has entered the West illegally should be deported. Every person who has entered legally and who is loyal to an ideology that is antithetical to the West's foundational values should also be deported. This is a battle for the soul of humanity. Wake up. Grow a pair.
Mamdani & Champagne Socialist Allies Masquerade as Working-Class Heroes The Democratic Socialists of America presents itself as a diverse, working-class movement, but its own membership surveys tell a different story. According to internal data, 85 percent of DSA members are white, and 58 percent hold professional or managerial jobs--while just four percent are blue-collar workers. The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) organization is making a serious play for control of the Democrat Party, advertising itself as a racially diverse, working-class movement. But a closer look at who actually makes up the DSA reveals not the workers it claims to represent, but affluent, mostly white professionals. Superficially, the DSA's diversity talking points seem to be borne out by the most conspicuous DSA politicians--Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Sen. Bernie Sanders, Mayor Zohran Mamdani, et al. But according to its own internal membership surveys, 85 percent of the DSA's members are white, nine percent are Hispanic, five percent are Asian American, and four percent are Black. What about the claim that the DSA is a working-class movement? Those same surveys find that fully 58 percent of DSA members are employed in the professional/managerial class. Only a paltry four percent are blue-collar workers. The rest of them are disabled, unemployed, or students.
Join AMAC As Ruy Teixeira of the American Enterprise Institute describes the DSA: "Its rhetoric and program uses the phrase 'working class' over and over again, as if repeating that phrase magically makes its members working class. But it doesn't, and they aren't."
The woman who died at the home owned by Uncle Fester's husband was in fact murdered.
Woman's death at Boston home owned by Rep. Ayanna Pressley's husband ruled a homicide: officials
Pressley said she is 'devastated' by the death, and her office confirmed neither she nor her family were involved The death of a woman found at a home owned by the husband of Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., has been ruled a homicide, authorities said. Boston Police officers responded to a report of a shooting in the city's Mattapan neighborhood on July 18 at about 1:52 p.m. and found Yoseliani Ann Marte Ocasio, 18, with a gunshot wound. She was pronounced dead at the scene, officials said. Her death was ruled a homicide on Thursday by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, authorities said in a statement. Property records show the home where she was found dead is owned by Conan Harris, Pressley's husband.
Michigan's AG cannot attend the state Democrat convention, she says, because she's "not safe." She's Jewish in a Hamas Party.
She's 'not safe' because she's also Jewish. Holy schamoly. That's what the Hamas wing has brought the Democratic Party to in this day and age. That a senior member and one of the highest-ranking elected officials in the state - in fact, the chief law enforcement officer of Michigan - cannot attend her own party's convention because of the viciousness of the anti-Semites they have enabled.In case you're wondering, "Wait, am I still the 'Nazi' for objecting to the Democrats' anti-Jewish pogroms?" -- why yes, yes you still are the "Nazi." Silly racist!
Advertisement Dana Nessel would seem to tick off all the prescribed woke boxes, but then there's that teensy problem of 'Jew' and Israel.' It didn't use to be a problem, and I guess it wasn't when the people of Michigan elected her. But now the woman is afraid to even show her face at her own party's convention because of the howling and uncontrolled mobs of radicals who have taken over the party?

I noted the other day, the Ukraine-Iran conflict was always inevitable, because of Russia's alignment with Iran (and all of the Left's other fetish states). But, the American left couldn't see it coming, because the Derp State's Russian collusion hoax (and their own TDS) broke their brains. And, I used to think that the cognitive dissonance would wake them up to how they'd been duped and used, but now I just think they'll marinate in their insanity.

I just watched a Nate Friedman doc on Spain (33 min. pretty slow but good, on his x account.) and it occurs to me that a lot of these people who want migrants want them because they think they will work.
They do not work themselves, but have this vague idea that someone has to in order for their checks from the government to keep clearing. It comforts them to think migrants will work, and they are at no risk of natives having to or benefits being cut.

The moms went from having bumper-stickers that said "my child is an honor student" and introducing their kid as being on the school sports team to having "proud parent of an autistic child" bumper-sticker and introducing their kid by listing their diagnoses.
The worse the parent was the fewer real accomplishments the kid had and the more "issues" they had. Mom's got praise and attention for raising a messed up kid, and the kid knew that the more messed up they were, the more Mom showed them off and talked about them.

I guess mental illness or disability, especially a safe one like autism, vs saying you are schizophrenic, is what people who crave attention can claim if they like straight sex and don't want to pretend to be LBGTQ.
I've always thought being famous and having everybody wanting to watch everything you do would suck. If I had great musical, acting, or sports talent I probably would have figured the $$$ and pursuing my talent were worth the trade off, but being famous with the general public would have been a negative.

The moms went from having bumper-stickers that said "my child is an honor student" and introducing their kid as being on the school sports team to having "proud parent of an autistic child" bumper-sticker and introducing their kid by listing their diagnoses"
My nephew is badly autistic and taking care of him has made my sister look prematurely old. These "proud parents" are likely proud their little scions are just feral assholes.

I ordered a custom cake for a diagnosis reveal picnic that I’m hosting tomorrow with my neurodivergent friends. The inside will be pink if it’s just autism (my current diagnosis) or it will be green if it’s autism and ADHD (for which I was recently assessed). We shall see!
Being neurodivergent is challenging, but I believe our neurodiversity should be celebrated. Plus I probably wouldn’t be here today if not for my neurodivergent community (online and real life). Feeling especially optimistic today.
I'm just gonna go out on a limb here and call it...if you are finding out the results via cake (and therefore I'm assuming with other people around) I'm betting on AuDHD.
IM ALSO HAVING A REVEAL PARTY TODAY!!!! I MADE MY OWN CAKE IT HAS A LITTLE CHARM I DESIGNED OF THE AUTISM CREATURE ON IT WITH M&MS
How do you find a real life neurodivergent community? I'm jealous.
It never occurred to me to do a reveal cake for anything other than gender and, as I am not trans, there was no reason for me to do a gender reveal. This has inspired me with so many possibilities!

All the used needles flowing down
Someone left the fentanyl out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it because it took so long to make it
And I'll never have that recipe again because of ICE

My ex used to by pot from a gay friend of hers in San Fransicko (we lived in The East Bay). He was living with -- and taking care of -- a younger deaf gay man. Very nice guys.
Anywho, they invited over to a party one weekend afternoon, and we arrived late (traffic). I was confused because I didn't see many cars or hear any noise coming from their place.
Turns out it was all deaf as well as deaf & blind individuals. They were engaging in communication with each other in the back yard, using sign language (which my ex and I had been expected to learn from these guys since the deaf ones had to learn to lip read).
The most amazing aspect were some guys signing with their fingers in the palms of the blind & deaf individuals -- who could feel what signs they were making with their hands. Pretty cool ...

I was born in '72. I'm just now transitioning into that phase they call "old". Pisses me off.
But it was a unique time to be alive. Because I grew up on game consoles and also getting your ass outside. MTV when they had videos. I watched the Internet happen.
And I was wrong. Because I thought it would be so great, that everybody would have the World's Library at that little Oak Express Table we used to buy. Kind of like a Microwave Stand. But for a Computer and a Monitor.
It turns out, it was better when you had to give at least a little effort to get to the Public Library. It was a self-sorting kind of thing. And most people really don't need much knowledge. They just need to be told what to do.
I hate it. But that's Human Nature.

Judge Alex Kozinski’s 2003 dissenting opinion in Silveira v Lockyer (9th Circus) has almost become my daily mantra:
“The Second Amendment is a doomsday provision, one designed for those exceptionally rare circumstances where all other rights have failed — where the government refuses to stand for re-election and silences those who protest; where courts have lost the courage to oppose or can find no one to enforce their decrees. However improbable these contingencies seem today, facing them unprepared is a mistake a free people get to make only once.”

A confidence scheme needs two things: a falsehood (to be presented as secret wisdom) and an emotional hook. After all, if your patter were all true, it would just be a business; and for selling a lie, you can use rhetoric dressed up in the clothes of logic and evidence (pseudo-dialectic), but not the real thing.
Easy mode combines the two: just pick any old conspiracy theory and dust it off, see if it still resonates. One thing leads to another, and next thing you know you're chasing Jews down the street.

Or they didn't think about that until they started to get a bit thirsty in the noon day African sun.

The Media Is Joining Fauci In Pleading the Fifth About Their Covid Lies
Jonathan Turley
@JonathanTurley Dr. Anthony Fauci was not the only one taking the Fifth this week. The media effectively invoked the same privilege to avoid self-incrimination for their years of deifying the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
Jonathan Turley
@JonathanTurley
...The media has also effectively taken the Fifth on these subjects, declining to publish many of these contradictions. Media outlets have the same reason as Fauci: There is no spin that would reconcile their own prior coverage and gushing reviews of Fauci.
The Vigilant Fox 🦊Video here.
@VigilantFox Jeffrey Tucker founded an institute devoted to studying the COVID lockdowns and mandates. He just spent four days reading Fauci's private diary. He says nothing could have prepared him for the "cold terror" he felt trying to figure out what demonic force was possessing this man. TUCKER: "I've spent four days reading that diary... It's a massive treatise, but it's utterly fascinating and introducing me to a side of Fauci... I just... no matter how many bad thoughts I've had about Fauci in the past, nothing could have prepared me for what I read in that diary." "It's a little bit like if you read Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and just take out the Dr. Jekyll part and just read the Mr. Hyde part. That's what it's like." "2020 is disgusting enough, but 2021 is where it gets really evil." "This is where you just can't... your disgust turns to something else. Actually, a kind of A terror. Cold heart. Cold terror. What is possessing this man? I mean, what demonic force has inhabited his spirit that would cause him to do this?" "I've never seen anything quite like it. And there's nothing that could have prepared me for that diary. Nothing."
Sabine Hossenfelder
@skdh Jul 30 All the focus on Fauci is burying the more important story, which is that scientists enforcing a common narrative to the detriment of truth has become extremely common. It's a strong case of in-group behavior in academia that, I believe, most of them are not fully aware of. As @LocasaleLab put it so aptly "the academic system punishes honesty". And this is the real story: This isn't just about Fauci. Fauci is just an extreme and very visible example in a case that has attracted a lot of public attention. But misleading the public about the status of scientific research has become extremely widespread.
Peter NavarroThe few "journalists" willing to question Fauci were punished.
@RealPNavarro I had over a million hydroxychloroquine tablets sitting in warehouses, ready to be distributed to doctors and patients across America. Fauci's own diary from March 2020 shows he viewed the drug as safe and supported making it available. But when President Trump endorsed hydroxychloroquine and the media erupted, Fauci flipped.
Former CBS News journalist Brittney Hopper claimed Thursday that she got into trouble after questioning Dr. Anthony Fauci, former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) director, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Hopper appeared on News24 in Australia to discuss Fauci's decision to invoke his Fifth Amendment right more than 100 times during his congressional hearing Wednesday, refusing to answer any questions. Before reacting to Fauci's hearing, the independent journalist, who previously worked for CBS News Los Angeles until 2022, gave her own history reporting on Fauci and how he was deified by the mainstream media. "I have so much to say because this was during the time when I was on CBS News. I was reporting extensively on COVID," Hopper said. "I was out there on the front lines. And I remember after a couple of years of dealing with hearing this man and interviewing this man and having to wear masks and having our kids out of school for years, I remember questioning what he was doing. And I got in trouble and pulled off air for a couple of days because I started questioning him. "You weren't supposed to question the agenda and the narrative at that point. And I apologized, and I went back on air covering what I was supposed to do as I've mentioned before on here. I was their puppet on mainstream media for so many years. Hopefully, more and more people are waking up to, you know, really, the lack of journalistic integrity that we're seeing."
Jeffrey A Tucker
@jeffreytucker Jul 30 People should STOP saying that this is Fauci's "private diary." It was a daily log prepared by Fauci with the assistance of aides, as should be obvious to anyone who looks at it. It was property of the NIH, an official document. It was not "leaked." It was legally released.
Good Lord. Abby Phillip is a disgrace. Fauci lied about:
— Tom Bevan (@TomBevanRCP) July 30, 2026
1) the origin of the virus
2) how deadly it was (or wasn't)
3) the efficacy of masks and other treatments
4) his involvement in pushing for shutdowns
5) his smearing of other world-renowned epidemiologists

I think the answer is that Fauci, and Faucism, represented the apotheosis of what the managerial/academic/journo class desires: An excuse for sweeping power, based on (alleged) expertise, in which they could ride roughshod over those stupid proles and flyover people while preening about the allegedly superior moral and intellectual qualities that justify their rule. Then it turned out that they were wrong about nearly everything and -- as Fauci's diaries demonstrate -- knew it at the time, at least at the top. And their overreach is one of the things that gave us Trump 47.CNN's "expert" tells us that even questioning whether Anthony Fauci lied is an "assault on Science." That's not from 2021 -- that's from Wednesday night. They've been completely wrong about everything for a decade -- "RussiaGate," Joe Biden's competency, Hunter Biden's laptop, Fauci, covid, etc. -- but just keep doubling down. They have been wrong about everything and so can never admit a single error, because that admission would just be a prelude to the next admission, and that a prelude to the next. They are deeply stupid people who believe they are geniuses whose words should be accepted without question and are literally going insane from the cognitive dissonance of their belief in their own superiority running into the reality of their deep inferiority and incompetency.

That the Supreme Court itself, would not allow ANY court cases to go forward about Covid and the response.
So no one could sue to get the Vaccine info. No one could sue for the shutdowns. No one could sue for the blatant suspension of Civil Rights, by people as low level as MAYORS.
And no one could sue about whether it even WAS a crises.....
So the ONLY path for redress for the People, was shut down, by the Supreme Court itself.

Trump should have listened to Navarro, certainly not the evil gnome Fauci. And Fauci and Skarf Witch Birx were trashing Trump at the time, while destroying our society.

People were arrested and dragged out of hospitals when they tried to see their sick or dying family members. Not so much in red states but that happened in multiple blue cities/states.

Fauci is a weak, egotistical, narcissist.
But the media really did push a lot of 2020 into existence.
From COVID hysteria, pushing CCP lies, 'Horse Dewormer', to St. George Floyd, to the Fiery But Peaceful Summer of Love, to Mail-in Ballots and Plumbing problems in Atlanta that caused voting to stop in six states.
Fauci was a spineless wannabe celebrity, but the media in general were outright evil in their relentless push for sickness and chaos.

One of the first bits of training when entering government service explains what constitutes a government record. This "diary" is exactly that. Had he hand-written it and kept it off a government computer, another argument might be made, except that he did it on government time with government resources.

This is also the story of "Climate Change" "science."
I recently went down a rabbit hole into the Climate universe, and it is overwhelming, massive beyond comprehension, and so cult-like that they do't even know it's a cult. They are so surrounded by their own narrative that they're "swimming in it" and don't even know it is a narrative anymore.
Around the world, there are nonprofits, university departments, government agencies, activist groups, corporations, educational systems, and on and on and on. also in absolute lockstep with the climate agenda, all-in, their lives, livelihoods, psyches subsumed in it.
They've not on;y drunk the Kool-Aid, but they've also injected it, snorted it, and survive on a constantly Kool-Aid IV drip.
It's very very scary. Because outside of Trump's executive branch, the entire world is in this cult.

Talked about this today with my neighbor. Freshly retired airline pilot. He played shit smart. Upper Middle class. Very comfortable. He's done.
In his day. In my day. They vetted the man before they let them into the job. And then you were taught up a bit, coached up, mentored sometimes harder than you liked and you damn well best do the job. Or somebody else would.
Now ? Its not that a twink or a lesbian or a woman or a black gets a shot at the job. Its that they're not demanded to do the job. And not vetted, on the basic level of "do you have the day to day, in you, to do this job" ?
That's no small question, for the jobs that matter the most.

That it can’t happen again? Because of how people (not all, but more than at the time) see how ridiculous it was, and how wrong it was, and how we were lied too. Listen, in the beginning, we had no idea how bad it was, all we had was what we were told and doctors hadn’t ruined their rep. We didn’t know if this would kill us all dead in a week. How could we? Now many of us questioned the masks immediately because that never made sense, same with social distancing. The isolation was also questioned immediately by many of us because you isolate the sick, not the healthy. But treatment? How contagious it was? How deadly? We did not know. We were just who we were and started looking under the tent more quickly than others. And we saw how the red states did versus the blue.

fauci had/has short man syndrome. When the media began using him as a weapon against Trump and called him "America's scientist" it was all over for his ego and there was nothing that he would not do to get TV interviews.
Lying about everything while Trump was calling for caution and did not want to shut the country down was exactly what the media was looking for and they groomed his ego to become a weapon against Trump.
For his entire life he was a short little academic man that spent all of his time trying to become famous. It almost worked during the initial aids epidemic but that only affected gay people so the media never really took off and ran with his supposed work with the aids virus because it only affected less than 1/10th of the population and gays weren't the left's special people back in the 70s like they are today.

I think that this careless schmuck is just the visible cockroach, and careful examination would find that both institutions are infested attic to cellar with similar fraud.

And you had to get the vaccine to protect you from the people that didn't get the vaccine all the while they were claiming that the vaccine would protect you from the unvaccinated.

Because you actually can’t just take people in and out like they are on vacation at an hotel. These people had actual medical needs that could not be provided for at home, or they would have been at home. We typically do not have oxygen tanks just waiting. Or the ability to insert feeding tubes. Or the supplies or knowledge to handle serious wound care. Or the ability to get the medications needed, because those are given out by the facility pharmacy daily, not 30 days supply by the bedside. I had a friend who tried to take her dad out. She wasn’t allowed in to start, and was ultimately threatened with elder abuse charges. I understand you relish in being not just a contrarian, but the smartest contrarian on the planet. And you normally do not get under my skin, because most people don’t. But understand how painful this is to people who lost loved ones and instead of being a horse’s patoot, try being kind.

With a 'Vaccine' that did not stop you from getting the virus at all... it just mitigated symptoms.

By any definition of a vaccine, an unvaxxed person is endangering only himself. By the normal definition of a vaccine, a vaccinated person need not fear even people actively sick with covid. They should be safe and not fear anyone.

My neighbor got the vax but crowed that she didn't take "Trump's vax," all because the shots came out after the election. Like they pulled the formula out of thin air overnight. She is not a stupid woman, but that just shows how deep the psychosis goes.

It was the worse flu I've ever had. Seven fucking days worth. Awful headaches if I didn't alternate Ibuprofin and Tylenol.
And that was all. I'd get up, walk out in the backyard, and hack all the shit up. Eat when I could. Really liked Ice Cream during that stint. Whatever.

Again: Cambridge "Professor," a "Poster Boy for Diversity," Found To Have Plagiarized His Ph.D. Thesis and Claimed to Have Personally Interviewed Subjects When He Actually Just Lifted the Interviews from Other Sources
And once again, the defense isn't "this isn't plagiarism." The defense is, as it always is: "You're racist for noticing."The "argument" is the same one we saw when Claudine Gay, then Harvard President, was found to be a serial plagiarist. The argument is, basically: "Yeah but they're DEI anyway, do we really expect them to abide the same rules that apply to real hires?" And once again the left gives the game away by arguing, "No, they're not required to abide the same rules that apply to real hires, because they're not real hires and everyone knows it."
Cambridge's diversity poster boy in plagiarism row Youngest black professor in university's history is subject of bitter argument between academics
There are more than one hundred such plagiarisms.
When Jason Arday became a Cambridge professor at the age of 37, he was lionised by the academic world and became a poster boy for the university's diversity drive. He had beaten almost impossible odds to get there. Diagnosed with autism, and non-verbal until the age of 11, he had only learnt to read and write at 18 but obtained a degree and a doctorate before forging a career in teaching. Now, on the eve of the publication of his autobiography, the University of Cambridge's professor of sociology of education has become the subject of a bitter row over plagiarism that has pitted his peers against each other. On one side of the argument are professors at other universities who believe Prof Arday's published works, including his PhD thesis, contain passages that are remarkably similar -- and in some cases identical -- to other academic papers, without proper attribution.
Of course. That's their whole hustle. As usual, "journalists" were pressured not to run the story, as it would hurt the leftist cause, and also as usual, "journalists" bowed to the pressure and supported Team Third World Socialism.
On the other side of the argument are friends and close colleagues of Prof Arday, the youngest black professor in the university's history, who believe he is the victim of a racist smear campaign and have tried to make it an issue for the Government. What started as a row between academics is now lapping at the shore of politics. Both Cambridge and Liverpool John Moores University -- which awarded Prof Arday his PhD -- are on his side, insisting that he has done nothing wrong and the allegations are unfounded smears. Cambridge said he had been the victim of a "vile campaign to undermine his credibility". The stakes could hardly be higher, as accusations of plagiarism can be career-ending for academics, and accusations that later prove to be false can be equally damaging to those who make them. Until now, the row had been happening away from public view -- but the publication of a blog this week, which features a side-by-side comparison of Prof Arday's thesis with that of another student, has brought it out into the open. An analysis of Prof Arday's PhD thesis for The Telegraph identified more than 100 passages that are identical or nearly identical to a 2009 PhD thesis by Paula Zwozdiak-Myers, a Brunel University student. ... ... Fellow academics began to raise concerns about the legitimacy of his published work when they carried out due diligence before inviting him to contribute to other academic papers. ... One professor of education at a Russell Group university, who has asked to remain anonymous, said they noticed "inconsistencies" in his published research when they carried out checks before asking him to contribute a chapter on a book about decolonisation. When they looked at his doctoral thesis, they "identified extensive textual overlap with an earlier PhD thesis submitted by another academic at a different university". Their assessment was that "the similarities were not confined to isolated passages but formed an extensive pattern of close paraphrasing", which would not necessarily be detected by computer programs designed to detect verbatim copying of text. 'Evidence should be rigorously examined' Robert Dingwall, emeritus professor of social sciences at both the University of Nottingham and Nottingham Trent University and a government adviser during the Covid pandemic, said: "In the current climate, it is difficult to comment on allegations of plagiarism against a prominent minority scholar without seeming to take sides on EDI [equality, diversity and inclusion]. "Plagiarism is, however, rightly treated as a serious academic offence, at any level. We have a collective duty to call it out where there is robust evidence. "From what I have seen, there certainly appears to be a prima facie case here. It may be difficult to find a suitably impartial adjudicator but, as a matter of fairness to all parties, the evidence should be rigorously examined and the subject invited to provide a detailed response, rather than being the victim of continuing smears and innuendos. "This is a moment when universities in general, and sociologists in particular, must be willing to show that they are capable of living by their own standards of professional integrity." 'Potential public attack on Jason' Supporters of Prof Arday became aware last year of questions about his academic legitimacy, and responded with furious accusations of racism.
In September 2025, Times Higher Education had a bombshell story in the works: A star sociology professor at the University of Cambridge had allegedly plagiarized parts of his Ph.D. thesis and several journal articles. In one of the articles, the borrowed text appeared in quotes from subjects the professor, Jason Arday, claimed to have interviewed himself. But after Arday enlisted Carter-Ruck, one of the United Kingdom's leading defamation law firms, to send Times Higher Education a letter, the publication spiked the story, according to three sources who spoke to Retraction Watch. One of the sources was David Sanders, a biochemist at Purdue University in Indiana, and a sleuth who contributes to the Times Higher Education on topics related to academic misconduct. He reviewed a 63-page dossier of text comparisons prepared by the publication last year and came back with his own findings. "There is no question that there is extensive plagiarism," Sanders told us. The allegations against Arday finally emerged last week following a Substack post from Nathan Cofnas, a philosopher at the University of Ghent in Belgium. Cofnas, who is known for his controversial writings on racial differences, independently identified dozens of passages in Arday's 2015 dissertation that were taken nearly verbatim from the 2009 dissertation of Paula Zwozdiak-Myers, a reader at Brunel University of London. Cofnas says he learned about the unpublished Times Higher Education story only after he began working on his own piece about Arday. Arday is known for his work on topics related to race, inequality and education. His interest was more than scholarly: From humble beginnings as a nonverbal autistic kid in South London, he became, at age 37, the youngest Black person appointed to a professorship at Cambridge. That achievement was covered by the BBC, CBS News, and Good Morning America. He is listed as a collaborator on more than $10 million in recent grants from two U.K. funding agencies, U.K. Research and Innovation and the National Institute for Health and Care Research. Arday's achievements have not been limited to academia. He has said he has raised more than $8 million for charity and performed impressive athletic feats, including running 30 marathons in 35 days. His forthcoming memoir, Great and Unfortunate Things, is slated to be published next month by Simon & Schuster.Oh, he also lies about stupid things, like his record as an ultra-marathoner. He claimed to have run 600 miles in 6 days -- 100 miles a day. Then that claim disappeared from his website and was replaced by the claim he ran 600 miles in 12 days. He did this with a bunch of claims about his running. The reality (if we now know the reality, which we might not) about his running is impressive, but still he lies about it to puff himself up. I mean: His lies are Kim Il Sung-esque.
The Cambridge professor at the centre of a plagiarism row is facing questions over claims he has made about his athletic prowess and charity fundraising.It's been reported that there are no reports of these feats of endurance, except for his varying and changeable claims. People are calling this liar and plagiarist "The Wes Moore of Cambridge." Well that's a lie. I'm calling him that. But other people are invited to join in and call him the Wes Moore of Cambridge.
Prof Jason Arday says he once ran 600 miles in six days for charity, 300 miles in three days, and 30 marathons in 35 days, partly with a broken leg. But experts in ultra-distance running have cast doubt on his claims, expressing surprise that he is not known in the ultra-distance community despite achievements that would put him among the world's top athletes. Prof Arday also claims to have been a professional footballer and snooker player, and to have raised Ł5.5m for more than 70 charities. Some of the country's most respected academics have called for an independent investigation into allegations of plagiarism surrounding Prof Arday after The Telegraph reported last week on striking similarities between his PhD thesis and another student's. The University of Cambridge insists there is no case to answer, and that he is the victim of a "vile campaign to undermine his credibility". Liverpool John Moores University, which awarded his doctorate, has also said his work had been checked and cleared. Running 600 miles in six days In 2023, Prof Arday became the youngest black professor in Cambridge's history at the age of 37. His memoir, titled Great and Unfortunate Things, will be published next month, in which he recounts being non-verbal until shortly before his 12th birthday and only learning to read and write at the age of 18. Questions about Prof Arday's autobiographical details have been swirling in the academic world for years, and those questions have intensified during the ongoing plagiarism row. On several occasions, he has described running 600 miles in six days from Edinburgh to London for charity, but on one occasion, he said the distance was 500 miles. Experts in ultra-distance running cast doubt on whether this was possible for an unknown amateur athlete, given that the world record for a six-day run is 650 miles, which was achieved on a flat circuit with a large support team and medical help on standby, as opposed to an undulating road route with little or no backup. Prof Arday has also said that he fell and suffered a hairline fracture on the 21st day of his 30-marathon challenge, causing his leg to swell to twice its normal size, but managed to carry on and run another nine marathons. ... "Running 100 miles in 24 hours is also perfectly possible, but it's very hard to keep that going for two more days, without good breaks for sleep. Not impossible but pretty unlikely. "The 600 miles in six days is, again, not impossible, but would be remarkable, akin to the very best record-breaking ultra-runners. It seems odd that there appears to be no evidence of that. Usually runners are very keen to share news of runs like that on places such as Strava. If you're claiming to have done runs as impressive as those, you should provide evidence, which is very easy via GPS sports-watches."
When Jason Arday was named Cambridge's youngest black professor, the BBC made at least 5 documentaries about him and gave him his own radio series.

Had a professor accuse me of plagiarism, on a degree paper concerning Cass Gilbert's design of the St. Louis Art Museum in Forest Park. He said I had to have copied my thesis from someone because he was an expert in Cass Gilbert and he hadn't seen this thesis before, and as a student, it wasn't possible that I knew things about the subject that he did not.
I cited my sources. He didn't recognize some of them. He was full of crap. Most of the sources came from the actual archives at the Museum, where I went to research. Apparently being an "expert" didn't include exhaustive reading of primary sources at the primary source. Huh.
I was vindicated, but it took some serious doing.
So yeah, the experts are full of shit.

Image. He's their poster boy for DEI. They'll look bad if he gets in trouble, not to mention the trouble for covering for him
I read the Kathleen Stock article on this. Everyone who has gone after him has skin in the game - they’re all opponents to critical race theory in their own ways (many of which have been fired/left universities themselves, so have a bit of an axe to grind). It needs an independently led investigation. I don’t trust either side after reading all points of view.
The fact he only passed GCSEs in PE and textiles says a lot. Why are unis letting people without maths and English GCSEs to study there? This university's reputation is falling like an anvil the longer this charade goes on.
I met this guy on the moon when we were both running a Moon Marathon. He told me he'd just invented Penicillin 2.0.

There are extreme running events across deserts. There was an AMAZING documentary called 'Desert Runners' where they followed 4 people training to do the races.
4 deserts - one Antarctica - technically a desert. Total distance was 250 miles. One guy died because something burst and medical wasn't near-by.
And a woman running in Africa was nabbed by a local for rape.
I really can't find that anymore.

Piper, what does "non-verbal" mean? Is it just that they don't talk, or is it something deeper, like their brains can't process language?
Posted by: Bulg at July 31, 2026 03:52 PM (77rzZ)
This probably depends on the person. I have seen non-verbal autistic children who probably understand absolutely everything, and others where that isn’t so clear. But note I am not an expert here. I only have my experience, and my child is clearly autistic, but she is also high functioning. She is not a Sheldon genius, which is the other misconception about autism. Her affect is just different, social cues have taken so much work, and emotional / sensory regulation is challenging.

Horses carrying a man would be lucky to get thirty or forty miles a day.

He never produce a portfolio of all this supposed amazing work, either. So, full of crap.
He spent a lot of effort trying to submarine me so he would look better. He didn't get away with it, but he did try really hard. If he had worked that hard on being productive and learning his craft, he would have been successful. Instead, he's a worthless bureaucrat and a bit of a twat.

100 miles in 24 hours is possible. They have marathons that distance. The guy that works in the garage where I keep my car ran one last month. He didn't finish, but a few guys did. But you're basically in a coma by the end. You're shot. It takes days if not weeks to fully recover. There's very very very few people in the world who can do this, and then do it all over again for the next X days.

It is only plagiarism if you don't cite your sources. You can rehash all sorts of things but you need to credit them. There aren't a lot of new ideas certainly, but a paper for credit takes a viewpoint and runs with it, even if that viewpoint is not particularly new.

Our eldest son got a new job a few months ago & said he was told HR of every country in the nation is bogged down from fake resumes/CV's using AI. There is now a software industry to help HR with this.

Arnold Schwarzenegger claimed for DECADES that he benched 500lbs. Swearsies.
A few years ago, suddenly it was 525lbs.
Verified competition numbers from the late 1960s put him around a 441lbs max bench*. That's very impressive, but it's not 525.
*Some old articles claim it was 485lbs, but they're secondary sources. Actual competition numbers say 441.

It is only plagiarism if you don't cite your sources. You can rehash all sorts of things but you need to credit them. There aren't a lot of new ideas certainly, but a paper for credit takes a viewpoint and runs with it, even if that viewpoint is not particularly new.
Posted by: tcn in AK
=====
Plagiarism got a lot worse with cut and paste generation and to some degree it is an issue with computers having larger databases to draw up for plagiarism detectors.
Nevertheless, an author nowadays can actually run their own documents through a plagiarism detector and fill in missing citations, change the wording, verify quotes, etc.
The fact that Cambridge DEI scholar did not do that and instead hired a high powered attorney firm indicates to me that he is an academic fraud if not a fraud all around. His major professor and dissertation committee also are to blame.

The trick is to integrate your classwork writing assignments with your thesis/dissertation and use each paper outside of those if you found an interesting sub topic as a publishing opportunity.

William was in an episode of Eugene Levy's travel show. It's essentially a 30 minute long interview.
Not once, not a single time, does William talk about looking after the good of the people of Britain as a goal when he becomes king. It's about work-life balance and preserving the monarchy.
He will be another Charles, at best.

I spent a lot of time on hiring committees as our university grew. It got ridiculous on the number of applicants we received for even temporary academic positions.
I would recommend for any young person to get the book, What Color is My Parachute. And to sum it up, the key is informational interviewing the people in the field that you want a job. If you make it about interviewing, HR is bypassed, you gain valuable contacts in the job world, and sometimes if not a job offer, a referral to someone else that has a job. Original book was in late 1960's and it has been through over 30 some odd revisions over the years to update technology and current practices.

The reign of kings ended because of the lottery with genetics--some were good kings, some were bad but you were stuck with them for life. But you muddled through because of the succession problem. But now, with today's longevity from better medical care, no one can 'rule' wisely for decades because the mistakes accumulate with rulers that can admit error and correct their course extremely rare. Charles, with his head full of bad wiring is an example of this.

Liberal Appeals Courts Reverse Lower Rogue Judges' Injunctions Against Ending Temporary Protective Status
Oh, these liberal appeals courts panels haven't started doing their jobs willingly. But these lawless Biden and Obama DEI appointees are routinely ignoring Supreme Court rulings and substituting their own District Judge-Made Law, and the appeals courrts can't go that far.
Liberal court stuns with ruling that hands Trump major immigration winRelated:
The panel of two Biden appointees and one Trump appointee ruled on TPS for migrants from South Sudan and Ethiopia
DHS lawyer says public needs to know which judges are in 'open defiance' of SCOTUS on immigration DHS Chief Counsel James Percival said a group of federal district judges--not the judiciary as a whole--are repeatedly blocking deportations and Temporary Protected Status rollbacks despite SCOTUS rulings, calling it "naked political activism." A liberal-led federal appeals court handed President Donald Trump two immigration victories Wednesday, reversing separate district court orders that had delayed the termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for migrants from South Sudan and Ethiopia. The judgments from the First Circuit Court of Appeals come after U.S. District Judges Brian Murphy and Patti Saris issued back-to-back orders temporarily blocking the Trump administration's termination of TPS for Ethiopia and South Sudan, respectively, late last week. The rulings drew sharp criticism from legal experts and Trump administration officials, who called the judges "rogue" and argued their decisions defied the Supreme Court. The three-judge First Circuit panel consisted of Judges Julie Rikelman and Seth Aframe, both appointed by President Joe Biden, and Judge Joshua Dunlap, who was appointed by President Donald Trump.
In nearly identical rulings, the majority liberal panel found that the lower court judges' orders conflicted with the Supreme Court's decision in Mullin v. Doe, which held that courts cannot block TPS terminations based on non-constitutional claims. "Mullin held that 'the TPS statute's judicial-review bar applies to all non-constitutional claims' challenging the Secretary of Homeland Security's determination with respect to the termination of a TPS designation," the judges wrote. Iowa Solicitor General Eric Wessan told Fox News Digital that the First Circuit correctly applied the precedent established by the Supreme Court. "These are clear wins for President Trump following his big win at the U.S. Supreme Court, explaining that district courts are not supposed to second guess TPS terminations, and even as this plays out, we're moving towards the end of this litigation because district courts should not be hearing these disputes, and that's what the Supreme Court said," Wessan told Fox News Digital. A Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spokesperson welcomed the rulings as "a win for the rule of law and common sense." "Temporary Protected Status is exactly that--temporary," the spokesperson said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "For too long, TPS has been allowed to function as a de facto amnesty program despite Congress never intending it to be permanent." The lawsuits were brought by African Communities Together, a New York-based immigrant advocacy organization that serves as the lead plaintiff in both cases, alongside individual TPS recipients from Ethiopia and South Sudan. The plaintiffs argue DHS unlawfully ended the protections in violation of the Administrative Procedure Act and the Constitution, alleging the agency failed to properly assess conditions in the two countries and that the decisions were motivated by racial discrimination. .., While the Supreme Court's decision in Mullin v. Doe foreclosed most statutory challenges to TPS terminations, it left open the possibility that courts could consider claims alleging constitutional violations. However, Wessan said the district judges were operating outside the "legal bounds" by blocking the TPS terminations before any constitutional claims had been established. "If they want to let the plaintiffs amend their complaint, they're allowed to do that, but in the meantime, TPS is over," Wessan told Fox News Digital.

@Kiradavis On the invasion in Cueta: THEY ALWAYS TELL YOU Today this film that has lived in my head for over 30 years comes to life in front of my eyes. 'The March' is a 1990 film shaped after 'Camp of the Saints' - A group of several thousand Africans migrate westward across northern Africa and sail across the Strait of Gibraltar to Europe. Their message is: "We are poor because you are rich." Why do I remember it? I was a child when I saw it. But some of the images were haunting in a way I cannot describe. For over 30 years - THIRTY YEARS - I have thought of this scene...the migrants slowly moving into quaint British towns, peering through windows at unsuspecting families, invading homes, demanding what those fat, rich Westerners have. When I tell you not a week goes by where I haven't thought of it, I mean it. Not. One. Week. Watching those Muslim men pouring into Cueta brought it to mind, although I had no idea what it was called. The magic of modern AI led me back to it and I have chills watching this again. Listen to the tv host as he says, "It's a publicly stated attempt to come into our streets, our homes, and shame us into helping them. Or, as they say...WATCH US DIE." They always tell you what their intentions are. They always tell you what they're going to do. And look at the studio audience in this film. Completely white. Is there anywhere in the UK you can see that anymore? From 1990 to today...that's how long it took to bring the magic of the movies to life. But it's here now. Yes, they always tell you. In 1990 I would have been 15 years old. 15yo me was hardly conservative. Still, this scene in particular stuck with me and has been locked away in my brain since that moment. Frankly, it's almost a relief to spill it out onto the page finally. I think this flag planted in 15yo me because that little girl was way more intuitive then I've ever given her credit for. 15yo me knew there was something ominous in the presentation, and she filed it away for a time when she wasn't completely submerged in a socialist household. 15yo me saw something dastardly, a warning. I couldn't articulate that at the time. I probably even felt an affinity for the migrants at the time. And yet, this scene has never left me. Today, I understand. Today I finally see. This was a projection...an announcement. 36 years... These globalists are patient. They don't mind moving slowly. They've been executing the reality of this film for that long, and now they have arrived. A full scale invasion, much like the premise of this film. They always tell you. We need to recognize the long game, and understand that the incremental changes are not to be ignored. They are part of the plan. It may be too late for Spain, for Europe. They did not heed the warnings given by the globalist elites themselves. They are overwhelmed and disarmed. America: I believe the Lord tattooed my heart with that movie and this scene for this very day - for me to tell you - THIS IS US. WE ARE NEXT. The invasion is coming and it will look exactly as they planned and exactly as they told us. We have already experienced a bit of this during Biden, but that was a fraction of what is to come. Heed these warnings. It is time to close ranks and protect what is ours. They have already announced themselves. We can no longer be so foolish as to believe they didn't really mean it. They always tell you.

And they fondly remember the slogans they chanted. It's all about a sort of ala carte "reality".
It's a parallel current to one of the central underlying themes of Marxism: dignity is something every human can have only once no one has more than another.

And these sub retards take the nets and fish the waters clean.
Of all fish, right down to the eggs.

Nothing and I mean nothing we can do will lift them from their stone-age poverty.
There is a reason it persists and thrives even today:

True story: When they cast the Mexican human trafficker bad guys for the film Rambo Last Blood, they hired Spanish actors (Spanish from Spain).
They didn't realize until the shoot that their accents were so different from Mexican accents that the audience would be confused. So the Spanish guys had to learn how to speak Spanish in a Mexican accent.

Morocco is the UN's "Gateway". In normal times, Morocco has about 20,000 regugees and about 140,000 foreign nationals. The process is to ween the 20,000 into the EU a bit at a time, then replace those that left with more sub-Saharan refugees. Only, the dufus in the palace went and gave the edict of granting illegals amnesty, which overwhelmed Morocco with opportunistic refugees. So Morocco said, "Screw this." and tried to push as many through the gates to Ceuta as possible. The UN, and their various NGO's use Morocco as a stepping off place into the EU. They have been for decades.

If she had the charisma of a Mandami or AOC shed win in a landslide. Shes gotta get a lot better if shes going to appeal to people across the state outside of traditional blue areas.
She's measured. She's respectful. She answers the questions. She comes across as calm and intelligent. She doesn't need all that bluster of a "charismatic" leader, whatever that is - we get enough of that with Trump.
I really like Hong, but you’re biased if you think this went well. She desperately needs some media training to appeal to a broader base. I get not wanting to give Fox a sound bite, but they took it easy on her and it was still a tough look. Thankfully, we’ve got a lot of time before swing voters start to pay attention
I’m excited by her viewpoints, but it’s disappointing to see her consistently fall flat in moments that she needs to step up. I wouldn’t necessarily say appearing on Fox News is directly correlated with how she’d do as governor
I appreciate her passion, but it’s more then just media training. She’s not ready for this role. she has a lot of political growing to do.

Ethiopians are mostly fine. They are mostly Christian, so they don't have the deranged Muslim outlook on the world. They also don't look like deformed mutant roaches like most Somalis do.
Do I want illegal Ethiopians in my country? No, I do not. But I would take an illegal Ethiopian over an illegal Somali any day of the week.

There have always been illegals in America. When there's not many, and they're not shitbags (or they at least keep their shitbaggery confined to a sub-community), nobody gives a fuck.
Institutionalized shitbaggery on a national scale is the problem. Intentionally encouraging and subsidizing the shittiest of the shitty and then perverting every civic institution to cater to the shitbag is not organic. It was a choice. It was a strategy. This was done to all of us on purpose.
Discussing individuals or subgroups who might not be shitbags is nice, to remind us that people are just people, but the real problem is the uniparty led Shitbagocracy foisted upon us by thieves and perverts.

If we still had an interest-based system, people would likely find that it is not in their interest to keep a misbehaving judge and they could cut him lose.
These days, every judge is holding a line on some side. You're almost never going to get an impeachment through Congress, because ideology switched us to Cause-based politics. The progressives to advance their cause, and the rest of us to resist their cause.
Our system was built and balanced for "enlightened self-interest". The nationalists of the 19th century started pushing cause-based politics. And we're stuck.
Until the American people can come to realize that the Democrats actually stand against America, and vote a huge Republican majority in--and these Republicans stay frosty, we will likely never rid ourselves of the paralysis of cause-based politics.

Given that Democrat election fraud goes back at least to 1960 -- and still further on local levels -- one has to wonder if there have always been huge Republican majorities that have been neutralized for decades.

1. We do not have the political system the Founders designed our government for: enlightened self-interest.
2. However, every single bit of "rights"-based language of the founders is now our debt, and is even been expanded by the inversion of our "innumerable rights" by the Courts ability to make burdens upon others by the citing of "innumerable rights" defended by the right of Congress to overrule a state, which has somehow been intercepted by our Courts.
In other words, because rights are "infinite" per Howard in his 14th amendment prose, the right of a person not to be "misgendered" can be recognized as one of those emerging rights, and a judge can find that that burden of their rights (there is always a burden to observe another's rights) can even impinge upon the previously understood right to say what you please (but more in theory than in history).

Here in America, at least, was it really nationalists pushing causes?
Just two causes off the top of my head, before nationalism was really a thing; the Bank of the United States was a cause for several decades, and then the abolition of slavery consumed the nation for another few decades.
Do you mean something different by 'cause-based'?
I agree with you, causes/progressives and party politics have screwed us by constantly ginning up issues and missions which end up consuming the body politic and turning everything into something that must be solved by academics, politicians and bureaucrats.

Democrat Socialists: We Must Promote and Defend the Beacon of Socialism, Communist China
Members of Mamdani's DSA pledge to 'support' and 'defend' China: 'Survival of Chinese socialism is a crucial matter'Speaking of foreign Chinese communists subverting the American way of life, Francesca Hong is now the presumptive Democrat candidate for Wisconsin governor. Her main rival, Mandela Barnes, quit the race, stating that it's obvious who the candidate will be. But he seems to be using that fake reason to avoid the real reason for his withdrawal:
About a dozen Democratic Socialists of America activists have publicly pledged to "support" and "defend" China amid an apparent push by the communist nation to court members of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's party. Friends of Socialist China, a London-based group, touts 952 signatories on its pledge to "support the People's Republic of China and to promote understanding of Chinese socialism." Eleven self-described DSA or DSA International Committee members are among those that "resolve to support, defend and build understanding of Chinese socialism," The Post found. ... The pledge argues that "the global advance to socialism is indispensable if humanity is to survive and to flourish," while decrying capitalism as "totally incapable of solving the problems of poverty and inequality" and being " inextricably linked with war, empire, racism, misogyny, alienation, and environmental destruction." "Why China?" the pledge continues. "We support all states building or aspiring to socialism, and we favour the highest level of unity and friendship between them. We foreground China in particular because its size and level of development give it an objectively critical role in the global transition to socialism." ... The document lauds China as "the most prominent force pushing for the establishment of a multipolar system of international relations and a new international economic order" and "a global leader in the struggle to avoid climate breakdown.
Former Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes has ended his campaign for governor. The decision by Barnes came amid reporting by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel into allegations that Barnes was taking advantage of his role in the party to have sexual encounters with young adult women.They're literally all terrorists, communists, and sex criminals. Hong is an anchor baby granted birthright citizenship because her Chinese parents gave birth to her as "students" and, one might speculate, Chinese agents.
Megan BashamShe has appeared on Hasan Piker's show to declare her fidelity to the entire slate of communist party agenda items. The one plank she says she never signed up for is abolishing the Senate. But guess what? She's a foreign communist and therefore a liar. She has and continues to support abolishing the Senate:
@megbasham
Francesca Hong was born to non-citizen immigrants. In other words, she has citizenship in the U.S. because she was born here when her parents were on student visas. And now she is running as a socialist in order to dismantle the American way of life. Tell me more about how this isn’t a problem.
Democratic Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate Francesca Hong's campaign told Fox News Digital Tuesday that she does not recall posting on social media in favor of abolishing the Senate in 2021 and said that was not her current position. Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) co-chair Megan Romer went viral Sunday for confirming that the DSA supported abolishing the Senate, eliminating national borders and prisons, replacing the presidency and the Supreme Court, and more during an interview with Shannon Bream on "Fox News Sunday." Republican candidate for Wisconsin governor Tom Tiffany said in a post to X that Hong believed in all the ideas mentioned in the viral video. "This sounds a lot like DSA-backed @FrancescaHongWI. Does she want to abolish the police? Yep. Does she want to abolish prisons? Absolutely. Did she call for abolishing the U.S. Senate? Yes. Socialism is knocking on Wisconsin's door. This November, we slam it shut," Tiffany wrote. DEM SOCIALIST RUNNING FOR WISCONSIN GOVERNOR PUSHED 'ABOLISHING THE POLICE'
Francesca Hong speaks on stage at the Wisconsin Democrats 2026 Convention. Gubernatorial candidate Francesca Hong speaks on stage during the Wisconsin Democrats Convention on June 14, 2026, in Madison. (Getty Images for WisDems) When reached for comment, Hong's campaign said Tiffany was lying and said she never supported abolishing the Senate. "Tom Tiffany is once again telling lies and inventing quotes, because he can't run on his record," Hong communications director Allison Geyer told Fox News Digital. "Rep. Hong has never called for abolishing the U.S. Senate. Tiffany cannot produce a single statement where she did, because it doesn't exist." "She has spoken about police and prison abolition in the past as an aspirational goal, but it is not her current position, and it's not something she will pursue as governor," she continued. "She does not support replacing the presidency with the Supreme Court. Eliminating national borders isn't her position either, and it's not even part of the official DSA platform." "DSA is a membership organization, not a political party. Rep. Hong is not endorsed by DSA national, and doesn't agree with everything in its national program," Geyer added. Tiffany's campaign pointed Fox News Digital to a post on social media from February 2021, in which she wrote on X, "Abolish the Senate."

🚨 Hasan Piker's Producer Says "The Whole Squad" Knows Roy Singham, Admits Singham Is "Friends With a Lot" of Chinese Communist Party Members This is Eric Hovagim, a producer and researcher for Hasan Piker, discussing his personal friendship with billionaire activist funder Roy Singham and Singham's wife, Code Pink co-founder Jodie Evans. "I'm friends with Roy Singham. He's dope." Hovagim laughs off the idea that Singham has secret ties to the Communist Party of China, before immediately acknowledging that Singham "is friends with a lot of them." He says he also personally knows Evans and texted her when the Treasury subpoenas arrived. According to Hovagim, she told him not to worry because "they do this shit to us literally all the time." He then makes clear that these relationships extend beyond him to other Americans in his China-based social circle, including Dana "Showtyme" Burton and Dante Muñoz. "The whole squad out here, we all know him." Hovagim also praises Evans as "the real deal," citing her relationships with Fidel Castro, Hugo Chávez, and Nicolás Maduro's son. The most revealing part may be how ordinary all of this appears within Hovagim's social and political world. Singham is not described as a distant donor or shadowy figure. He is a friend whom "the whole squad" knows, while Evans is someone Hovagim can text directly when subpoenas arrive.

There are plenty of communist activists that publicly endorse totalitarian regimes and killing their enemies including unabashed support for the Tiananmen Square massacre.
They are called "tankies" though there is a dispute if the term comes specifically from the Tiananmen Square massacre or not. Either way they support it.

David Crowly (another Democrap candidate) does significantly better against Tiffany. But he ain't gonna beat Red Slut in the primary.

He'll drive through the streets in his GAZ Chaika, looking at the boys and selecting one to be his plaything. He'll shop at stores which aren't empty as he pays everyone back for looking down on him his whole life.

If it's conflicting then it's wrong.
"Tankies" is a British Communist slur for British Communists who continued advocating for the USSR after the Hungarian Uprising.
It's been repurposed since the Tiananmen incident. But the origin is 1950s English Commies.
It never caught on in the US because our Communist Party effectively imploded over Hungary. There was nobody left to call the tankies tankies - they were the whole movement after that.

If it allows any elements of "Capitalism" (read "Free Markets") it's CAPITALISM or FASCISM!!
People actually believe that "Capitalism" is an integral part of Fascism. When Fascism is what happened when Obama put the government on the board of GM and Chrysler.
So, in embracing China, they're really embracing Fascism.
And No, there is nothing inherently racist or ethnocistic about a system where the government is simply the final word. We have to remember when fascism was last recognized as an official state. These states began in the 20s, when Eugenics was SCIENCE!
Of course you wanted the State to follow SCIENCE! This was still a time when the "scientific" believed in hundreds of races.
However the Han-centric ruling class and the treatment of Uyghurs in work camps, tend to show that there can be a strong potential toward ethnic stratification under the guise of the State.
Functionally, China is a fascist empire.

Critical theory has more to do with defining who had a right to speak and be heard. Fascism is just one of the terms used to silence opposition. I am sure you can think of others that are used regularly, and who uses them.
One of my visceral dislikes of certain public commentators is due to the way those certain public commentators use the tools of critical theory to silence opposition to supposedly "conservative" positions.
No bruh. It is not a moral stance if you support it through immoral acts, and it is not a conservative stance if it can only be argued through critical theory tactics

So, government is the most powerful entity in our sphere (until a more powerful government can take it over and then becomes the most powerful thing in our sphere).
Through the lens of nihilism, only the state can stop the state.
Just as Nietzsche was a nihilist who considered "fugue" from blunt reality "nihilism", and so you can find plenty of passages of Nietzsche railing against "nihilism", fascism rejects behavioral nihilism to rally around the state as a anchor. But it arrives there through a propositional nihilism. It's like "Yeah we know NOTHING for sure! But FORCE is a present reality."
So it's an approach to the reality of force, stripped of all other idealism.
Thus fascism cannot except Owenian/Marxian "communes" and the Engelsian "withering away of the State".

I also strongly suspect Piker likes thick cock deep in his anus. But that is verboten in Muslim and Turkish culture (except for diddling little boys, of course).

It's just never officially on the DNC's books.
Every billionaire in the US is a Dem donor. There used to be two who weren't (the Koch brothers). They switched when Trump came along. So did he, making him the only one. And it's debatable as to whether or not he's still a billionaire anyway.
All the big foreign donors who launder money into our ruling class are Dem donors.
All the NGOs are.

All the fraud schemes raking off federal budgets do too.

Exactly, because the state that they do not want HAS to be the State that Shall Not Be. Or at least, though their nihilism, they can better steer the state to the state that they want by arguing that yours is the repudiated form of state.
I have said that Godwin's Law is about the sort of cross-paradigm agreement that if the word "evil" applies to anything, it applies to the Nazis.

This has been the paradox of Democrats for some time now. They all want the same thing- don’t let anyone tell you they don’t want most of what the DSA wants. It’s all about the pace. Some know, rightly, that outing what their objectives scares away a lot of the voters. They know you can’t create enough fear and loathing to get elected. You only compel people to vote against you with that tactic. The soft pedaling and short term stuff can be glossed over with sonorous language and seemingly magnanimous goals. That kind of slow moving battle to battle can produce incremental wins over time. But the danger is that allows a lot more scrutiny of what was said versus what reality is. That’s why they need to control the media- to make sure the lies align with the narrative. But they are at an inflection point now and face a Hobsons Choice. It really is about their future. They desperately need to at least win the house to survive. My guess is they will go all out on their election fraud and subversion operations. They have to.

He's not really a thing. He's been artificially pimped and inflated -- like that Nick Fuentes creep -- to make it look like he's a thing. But it's all fake bullshit vomit.
The left is desperate to find someone reasonably presentable and who doesn't look like a David Hogg caricature that they can turn into an influencer. Piker is that guy. Plus, he comes from money and (IIRC) is that Young Turks guy's cousin.
But if you see vids of Piker at leftwing events, they despise him. He's a made-up stuffed balloon of weasel shit and cow farts.

The F-Factor meant that the more conservative you were the more tolerant you were to authoritarian behavior.
Jonathan Haidt was doing his own studies on conservative vs. liberal/progressive personalities, and found that his data wasn't fitting in with the bulk of "research" on the topic. And he began to look into it. It was years into the research where he was looking at the raw data from the most fundamental studies in this branch of Psychological research when he found that the report FLIPPED the data! (Whoopsie!!)
The raw data on a number of these reports actually showed that medium conservatism, in a bulk, was negatively-correlated to acceptance of totalitarian rule, but toward the progressive spectrum positively-correlated when you examined the questions for real support of authoritarian rule.
This proved out in 2020-2021, of course. This should be visible for everyone to see.

The problem is, surface level, is that's just reiterating the lefties favorite secret-homo gambit. It falls apart when you apply any test. Are people who denounce murder secret murderers? Are people that state the obvious objections to any form of depravity secret reprobates? No, obviously not. Dumb, fake, and ghey. The luxury of being a conservative is that we don't have to resort to half-assed charges like that. Hassan is just another violent nepo who wants others to do his bidding.

But now that I think about it, Gramsci didn't think up anything innovative in the squalid dungeon he rightly suffered and died in. No more than Herbert Marcuse and Rudi Dutschke when those faggots cribbed their notes from his gay little diary.
Gramsci just cribbed all his gay his gay little ideas from the raging buttfucker Commies in the Fabian Society in the first place.

Misogyny: Millions of murdered daughters in Red China under the One Child Policy

Fair, but we're suffering under Gramsci's logistical brainchild know as the "March through the Institutions".
Which abandon's a state-based approach, and tries to leverage power by captured institutions supporting captured institutions to impress upon the public "legitimacy".
This is why plenty of captured institutions are still insisting on Fraudci's flawed legitimacy. Because Fraudci was a piton of support for more leverage in forcing captured and un-captured institutions.
Did the Fabians have such a plan?

The "university" is almost completely captured these days. It's never been more captive.
"Studies" are produced to provide a boost for whatever they want to inflict on society.
Two PhDs did produce the report that suggested "Social Distancing" but they did little more than repeat the results of a middle school research project.
Because that's what was needed to make us feel drastically different so that we would buy a whole new set of rules was justified, because there was no way to go back.

The Point being: we are at a time in history where the Left is just begging for an imposter to start off slow to gain a following before going full tilt Bozo on outlandish, totally silly and outrageous platforms. You can lead a leftist to water, and you CAN make them drink.

The Byzantines defeated a tribe and captured a lot of men. They sent all the captured men back, lines of 10 or 20 blinded men with one man with only one eye put out leading them. The king supposedly died on the spot when he saw that.

Indict the SOB and try him in a conservative friendly region, like Fort Bend County or Weimer, TX. The crime was committed on the net and anyone exposed 'could be' incited.

"Apocalypse:" Invasion of Africans, Some Prisoners Wanted for Murder, Set Fire to Cars, Loot Stores, and Use the Streets as an Open-Air Shithouse as the Left Executs Its Plan to Replace Native Populations with Pro-Communist Third Worlders
This invasion was engineered by the socialist Spain Supreme Court, which ruled that if invaders cross into Ceuta, they get to stay:
An unprecedented wave of nearly 50,000 illegal migrants from Africa has flooded the Spanish enclave of Ceuta, prompting Spain to deploy its military -- as locals liken the invasion to an "apocalypse." Harrowing local media reports reveal residents and business owners in Ceuta -- a Spanish territory located on the north African coast -- are terrified to open their doors amid the rush of migrants, many of whom arrived wearing nothing but swimwear without a penny or possession to their name. "Businesses closed. Shops shut because if you open a business, it gets overrun ... We're scared. The streets are packed. There are no measures in place. It's every man for himself. They're not giving us any help," a terrified downtown restaurant owner who didn't want to give their name told state-owned Spanish media outlet RTVE.
260 men to stop 60,000? Absurd. This is the Biden Maneuver, where he deploys workers not to stop the invasion but to "process" their fake asylum claims and fix them up with the paperwork to stay for ten years.
The shocking surge comes after a ruling by Spain's Supreme Court earlier this month, which said migrants intercepted at sea while attempting to reach Ceuta or Melilla, another Spanish autonomous city in northern Morocco, cannot be kicked out under the enclaves' special border-rejection regime. "It has been a slow trickle since the Supreme Court's ruling, but today has been an explosion," a spokesperson for Spain's Guardia Civil police told Reuters on Thursday. Spain's Interior Ministry estimated Friday that around 49,000 people had crossed by sea and land from Morocco over the past 24 hours -- a sea of humanity representing nearly 60% of Ceuta's population of 85,000. RTVE broadcast images of burned cars on the Moroccan side of the border after reported clashes. Meanwhile, the socialist Spanish government -- which just months ago launched a program to give legal status to some 500,000 illegal immigrants in the country -- said it deployed 200 specialized police officers and 60 troops from the mainland to assist Ceuta's own forces.
However, the reinforcements were powerless in the face of such a massive migrant deluge, which consisted mostly of military-age men. "It's like an apocalypse. Waves of people everywhere. You can see as many people wandering around as you want," José Carlos Lara, owner of a sign-making business just over the border, told RTVE. He said local authorities have "no capacity" to deal with the chaos, and that the new arrivals are already sleeping in the streets and washing themselves in public fountains. A video shared on X by David Santos, director of right-leaning Spanish media outlet La Bandera, shows a migrant defecating on the side of a building in broad daylight. Lara added that other business owners -- particularly food stores -- have shut their doors in a panic, fearing widespread looting.

Non-detention cases: For individuals not behind bars, pardons covered outstanding fines, prison terms, or both.

"Spain's socialist Prime Minister announced he would be giving amnesty to millions of illegal aliens. Now, his country is being invaded by hordes of military aged men from Africa," Gill posted on X. "Because that's what happens every single time a politician offers amnesty."Once in you're in Europe, you can go anywhere in Europe, because the Schengen treaty dissolves all borders within Europe. This means that the Spanish socialists will not just turn their own country into a third-world shithole, but all of Europe. Some European leaders want to suspend Spain's membership in the Schengen agreement, at least until they stop trying to flood Europe with third-worlders:
Mario NawfalI do not envision that happening. The EU bureaucracy is as globalist/socialist/third-worldist as any collection of criminals and sex-pests on the planet. Don't worry, though: Spain's socialist president will put up some buoys.
@MarioNawfal 🇫🇮🇪🇸 Ministers in Finland's government are backing Italian PM Giorgia Meloni's threat to SUSPEND the Schengen Agreement with Spain. It comes after the unprecedented wave of migrants that poured into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta, yesterday. Mari Rantanen and Riikka Purra said member states that do not adequately guard the external border to the EU should lose their place in the passport-free zone. Meloni says stronger measures are needed, as arrivals in Spain continue to rise, and its government JUST granted legal status and work permits to around 500,000 undocumented migrants...

Migrants without backpacks? Most in the pics are barely even clothed. It's like they got up one morning and just decided to go to Ceuta without any planning or preparation.
Some don't even look Moroccan to me.
Something else is going on. The Blade speculated yesterday that these are probably Morocco's criminals, sex pests, and undesirables that the country deliberately expelled.
Like Castro did for decades, sending all the Cuban criminals to USA. I think the same thing is going on here.

That's pretty good, for Arabs.
When you see war footage from Gaza, keep in mind: a solid 80% of that destruction was from before a single Jewish bomb went off.
When I was in Gaza, two types of buildings caught my attention, and at first, they're hard to tell apart: residential buildings that were never completed, but occupied, and ones that were completed, but the fucking cladding fell off, and people just stayed anyway.
And yes, they dumped garbage straight from the apartments into the street, even though it might kill somebody when it hits.
Speaking of dead people: the poorest Arabs in Gaza will throw their dead on the garbage heaps. Kids, even.
It's lovely.

One barbarian plans to go to the Netherlands where his brother lives.
I watched a video last night. Stumbled on it via Elon's X (I don't have X). NY guy interviewing people in Barcelona. First he tried to talk to the African Moors and was run off by a nutcase who kept yelling American after he peed on a wall. This part of town had nothing but barbarians sitting around. I don't know if they were fresh out of the sea or this is where they hang out.
In a more affluent area, he interviewed natives. I was shocked that all but one man thought this is fine to be invaded as "they all work, etc." As liberal as a MN antifa goon.
At the end the translator said they are trying to have an Islamic political party and mentioned that Belgium already had one. Spain and Belgium are lost.

The next it's All Trannies All Day Long, forever, like we woke up in another town or timeline.
Then briefly it's Illegals and Stolen Land.
Then, out of the ether, you turn around, and like magic it's - Sudden Muslim Invasion.........

It was almost all British people talking about how wonderful it was because everything is so cheap and they get to meet so many nice foreigners (as in non-Spaniards) in the stores they go to.
There were a couple of Spaniards in the thread who mentioned there are no jobs and salaries are tiny so yes cost of living might be low compared to the UK or US but it doesn't matter.
Now I live it to the reader to figure out how and why the views of the Brits and Spaniards were so different

Some a bit down farther south too. Impossible to pronounce correctly and I think they're named that way just to give them a chance to correct foreigners who attempt to pronounce them. Or just call them the Canary Islands.

The Persian and Byzantine empires were exhausted after fighting a decades long war against each other.
And the Caliphate was smart to play groups off against each other. The Jews in Israel and the Copts in Egypt were not strongly motivated to stop the original invasion because they had poor relations with the Orthodox Byzantines.

We'd never been to The North Rim of The Grand Canyon, so decided to see if we could go (two weeks before the July 4th weekend, figured there'd be no campgrounds available -- true -- as well as no rooms -- however, they did have two motel rooms left, as all the others and all the cabins were full).
. Had no phone coverage, so no idea that the night of Saturday, July 4, there had been a lightning strike about 50 miles to the NW.
. Checked-out of our room Sunday morning, and sat with our feet up upon the cliff's stone wall with coffees prior to leaving -- when I put my car key-fob on the wall.
. A cute chipmunk appeared and the wifey took some photos.
. Then the critter bolted for my key-fob and tried to grab it with its mouth, and we had to shoo it away before it could abscond with it down the canyon wall into its hidey-hole.
. We didn't find out about the Dragon Bravo fire via our phones until we got to civilization. The lodge burned down the next day. So we were among the last to see it. If that chipmunk had stolen my car key-fob ...

And I suspect there is an insidious feminist element here too which tells her masculine men are bad even if that is what her biology is primed to want. But African masculine men? Yes feminists theoretically don't like them either but the rest of the left's ideology tells her they are good unlike native men.
So if she ends up with a Spanish guy she's committing a sin...but a Moroccan guy? Even if he is more machismo then that Spanish guy? Well that's not just ok that's revolutionary action baby. And she gets her tingles tingled to boot.

In the Barcelona video a guy who spoke English said they are there because everything is free. One produced a Spanish healthcare card. The ONE Spanish man who had sense said it's free because we pay for it.

After listening to the rest of Glenn Beck's "The Jihad from Within", he seems to say the more dangerous part of Islam (more dangerous than the Islamists and their terror campaigns) is those pushing long term infiltration.
These are Mamdani and Ilhan types that get Muslims voting as a block, then get politicians bowing to them out of fear of losing their voting block. But they are active on many fronts beyond political office.
"Glenn Beck exposes the political, religious, and cultural war being waged against America by radical Islam - a multi-step, multi-decade strategy to infiltrate the country through politics, activism, and religious influence. Produced by Torch and distributed in partnership with PragerU."

Yea, but ... what the fuck took them so long? Europe (including Italy) has been invaded by tens of millions of smelly hordes of Muslims and migrants for at least the last 15 years. Nobody said or did shit.
But now, after a comparably tiny grundle of 50k or so show up in a Spanish city in Africa, it's time to literally seal the borders?
I assume what's really changed is political sentiment. It's no longer verboten to say "hey, we should keep smelly, illiterate, dangerous layabouts out of our country."

They sent the Steiners insects, a bloody pig mask, a fetal pig, a book on overcoming grief after the death of a spouse, etc.
They also doxxed the couple, posted public invitations for orgies at their house on sex sites, and personally showed up to their house to put trackers on their cars.

I'm not sure how that works. I don't think the invaders get EU "citizenship" by getting into Ceuta. I do think they have some temporary immigrant status that allows them into Spain. And once in Spain, under that suicidal pact that Italy just cancelled, they have free reign to go anywhere in the EU.
I think technically they have only temporary status, and probably have to prove their cases in immigration court, but -- wait, why are you laughing? I'm serious, bro!

No one has stopped them. Back in 2014 kind idiot people took them into their homes, thinking and believing the poor teen needed shelter. That is until a dentist would confirm the teen was over 30yrs old...in a home with daughters.
I gave up on the UK then, altho I did go back a few more times. At least I got my Highland distillery fling and that was worth it.

THE MORNING RANT: Google and Outlook’s Search Functionality, Another Technology that Apparently Doesn’t Exist Any More
There’s a meme about technical capabilities that we once had, such as landing humans on the moon, that are unreproducible in modern times. It always ends with a somber, “That technology doesn’t exist any more.”
Fifteen years ago I never would have believed that the ability to search for work emails would be lost to progress, but that has happened. If you use Outlook at work, then you know what I’m talking about. Let’s say I’m looking for an email between me and Acme Oil Company regarding a Power of Attorney. There was a time when I could click on the folder where I move emails involving Acme Oil, and then simply search that folder for “power of attorney.” I would then be presented all emails in that folder with the three-word sequence “power of attorney,” in sequential order, starting with most recent email. For some inexplicable reason, Microsoft decided toSomeone should invent a version of Outlook that can search for emails and find them.
— Habeas Corpus Linguistics (@HabCorpLinguist) July 10, 2026
Never forget that the Artemis II crew that flew by the moon last April had to call Tech Support back on Earth, because both of their Outlook versions were inoperable.
Artemis II crew is thousands of miles away from Earth
— Shishir (@ShishirShelke1) April 2, 2026
And they’re asking ground crew for help because they have two versions of Microsoft Outlook open and neither is working

There were stories when I was younger that American auto manufacturers intentionally degraded the quality of their vehicles in the 1970s. The alleged reason was the hope that planned obsolescence would increase the sales frequency of buyers. While this is likely an apocryphal story, the American automakers lost their dominant market share because they seemed indifferent to quality while others started focusing on quality. Something similar is happening with Google. It came to dominate online search by having the far superior product. Back in the day it could find something I was looking for better than any other search engine. In fact, Google seemed to know intuitively what I was seeking even if my query was poorly worded. But now, Google has degraded its product so badly that it frequently refuses to produce the result of an easy search. As Jesse Singal notes below, you can give it direct quotes from a piece you are searching for, but Google will often still refuse to produce the article (which Grok quickly retrieves.) Sabotaging your own product, as Google and Outlook have appeared to do, is an amazing business strategy to grow a business.
The degradation of basic Google Search is *really* alarming. I can't think of any web tool I've been using longer -- three decades at this point? You can paste in a unique string of text, in quotes, and it will sometimes still fail to find what you're looking for.

This whole thing of rallying around Fraudci just goes to show you two things.
1. The Narrative energized them.
2. They have a fidelity to the narrative that they cannot give up.
And they just play into another narrative that has shown not to be so much the case: that if you call out a person "crazies on the right" will kill him, so in calling out a person you are effectively "risking his/her life!" and you are "showing that you don't care whether he/she lives or dies".
Because "crazies on the right" regularly kill subjects of censure.
Their narratives will not go gently into that good night. Rage! Rage against the dying of the LIE!

Google has found a new job for Prabhakar Raghavan, the executive largely responsible for running Google Search into the ground over the last four years — a period that's seen Google's search engine increasingly prioritize AI slop, shove more ads than ever at users, give Forbes and Reddit links priority placement, and basically make it harder than it's ever been to find what you're actually looking for.
Raghavan — who, before he came to Google, oversaw search at Yahoo during its decline from 2005 through 2012 — will now be Google's chief technologist, working closely with CEO Sundar Pichai. "Prabhakar has decided it's time to make a big leap in his own career," Pichai wrote in a memo to Googlers. "After 12 years leading teams across Google, he'll return to his computer science roots and take on the role of Chief Technologist, Google. In this role, he'll partner closely with me and Google leads to provide technical direction and leadership and grow our culture of tech excellence."

The most damaging evidence of Google’s decline comes not from external critics, but from Google’s own internal communications. Thanks to the Department of Justice’s antitrust lawsuit, we now have access to emails that reveal the ugly truth behind Google’s transformation from search innovator to advertising predator.
In 2019, internal emails show top Google executives from Search, Chrome, and Ads “hatching plans for pumping up ad revenues,” with the Search team explicitly working with the Ads team to “accelerate a launch of a new mobile layout” that would be “very revenue positive.” The executives didn’t just discuss revenue targets—they talked about how missing those targets would impact “the huge impact on our sales team” and their own personal wealth from stock prices. . .
The people responsible for organizing the world’s information were sitting around discussing how to manipulate search results to pad their quarterly numbers and personal stock portfolios. They even discussed “how not meeting their revenue goals will impact their personal wealth.”

It wasn't until years later that Outlook even includes the calendar.
Another one is Word.
I had to retype a whole sentence I copied because even it's "clear all" for formatting would not remove the hard line break.
Those of us who used WordPerfect painfully know how shitty Word is.
I've seen video of a guy launching Word in Windows 3.1--faster, quicker, all the functionality you need today-- and way smaller.

Relative to Japanese and German cars they were crap; Three years and it was time to buy a new one. I brutalized Honda's and they were like new. Chevy and Dodge pickups would fall apart when used, only, as daily drivers. Ford wasn't far behind.
There was an article comparing Chinese and Russian products.
Chinese products are smooth, sleek and attractive; they quickly break or fall apart. Russian products are coarse and ugly but they seem to go on forever.

I refused to use Word and was so indispensable at my firm that I was given permission not to use Word. I eventually had to switch when I went indep-contractor and no longer had someone who could reformat my docs for other lawyers. However, around 2020 Word did get a little better so I switched and after deep diving into figuring it out (ugh) my stuff is generally passable by my standards. But, yeah, still, F Word.

There were stories when I was younger that American auto manufacturers intentionally degraded the quality of their vehicles in the 1970s. The alleged reason was the hope that planned obsolescence would increase the sales frequency of buyers. While this is likely an apocryphal story, the American automakers lost their dominant market share because they seemed indifferent to quality while others started focusing on quality.
I remember hearing years ago that Toyota had put in a tab on the odometer that would trip a cut-off switch at 40k miles so that you'd HAVE to bring your car in for the 40k service. Well, tow it in. Because the whole electrical system would die, and stay dead until the dealership could disassemble the dash, pull the odometer and clip off the tab.
Don't know how true the story was, but it was widely retold for awhile about 20 years ago.

Yep, I never use Google anymore -- but Brave is pretty much just as worthless. Any kind of complex query to Brave -- which often responds with its "AI" result -- usually returns the following message:

The desktop and laptop Google is dead, the investors just don't know it yet.
The main contributor nowadays is Android and its feed for geographic specific and context specific ad revenue. Google is now an advertising company, not a technology company.
But due to the crunch in memory prices, AI is gobbling up far more of Google's capital investments that it otherwise might and the phones capable of using Gemini AI efficiently are unaffordable right now due to memory and cpu pricing.
I think Oracle is likely going to be deaded as well due to massive debt exposure over AI.
Remains to be seen about Microsux as they have made their base programs so shitty, the spying so obvious, and the adverts perverts OS, that people are now actively looking at ways to avoid them.
Apple, I think is going to come out of this the best with excellent technology and usable products. Linux is still only for wonks that are willing to use command line occasionally or for people that IT does it for them. Main reason is driver issues and the occasional really vile screwup of a distro. That can be avoided usually by delay in updates.

Someone I worked with bought a new US-made car in the late 80s. It always had a rattle that bugged him. At some point, a window broke & the repairman found a tin can inside the door. The can had a note on it that said, "You finally found me".

Independent mechanics pull this shit too. I once had my Suzuki Samurai in for a transmission service at a ghetto independent who was recommended by a cow-orker. I walked up as they were finishing and the two vatos putting everything back together again were pointing at my exhaust pipe just forward of the cat converter, and snickering.
They pulled it down from the lift and I had the boss immediately put it back up to inspect his employees' work. They'd stuffed a handful of nuts and bolts into the heat shield over the exhaust pipe so that it'd rattle away when you hit the gas. Got a discount as an apology, but I also got the feeling that he was more pissed at me for finding the joke than at his employees for costing him money.

Having worked for the tech giants back when things started really sliding, I can tell you that this is 100% the fault of Indians. Or as they are commonly referred to in this household - "fucking Indians".
15 years ago I would have been mildly surprised it took this long for things to get this bad. EVERYTHING they touch turns to shit.
Last employer, for all of how woke they were, for some reason held off hiring them until 2023 or so before getting the cost cutting bug. They basically rendered a critical monitoring department entirely nonfunctional, enabling some massive fuckups to go unseen for months. We went from plus 9 figures net to negative 9 figures and 3 years later the entire project was shut down. I didn't get a single functional thing out of that whole fucking department the entire 3 years they were there.
It's all street shitting retards with fake credentials and western MBAs enabling them. Even the ones with real credentials usually suck because of their psychopathic caste bullshit.

I've done it, not recommended as you can get weird formatting errors to and fro because Microsux refuses to use open document standards and keeps the proprietary cheats to themselves. I do think Only Office, a Euro company does have a licensing agreement that allows it to save to Microsux proprietary Office file that don't introduce errors. FWIW, Only Office started as a Russian company which moved to the EU after the recent unpleasantness started.
If you don't mind using pdf, then it is not a problem to share documents with Microsux or anyone--but unless they have a pdf editor (and you left the document unlocked), they cannot alter the original.

One big difference, though: I use the POP protocol for handling mail, rather than SMTP. The difference is that POP downloads your mail to your physical device; SMTP retains it on the remote server. This consumes more disk space on your PC or laptop, but storage is cheap. Of course, it means that if your disk dies, your email goes away, but that's what backups are for. My email is my property, and and learning how to maintain my property is part of responsible ownership.

Google Search: this is definitely intentional. Google is aggressive about this. They are adamant with businesses that they MUST NOT OPTIMIZE FOR BASIC SEARCH, but for AI. It's an obsession.
If they don't change course, I'll be surprised if basic search is still an existing feature in 5 years.
Outlook Search: yeah, it blows, but I can't remember when it didn't. It's always been a piece of shit.
Explorer Search: ok, this has gotten worse for most users. But not for me. Because the first thing I do on any new Windows machine is turn on indexing for all frequently used drives. Indexed searching still works well, if not quite as well as it used to.
If you haven't been indexing your drives, I recommend starting this on a Friday night - the initial indexing can take a long ass time to build depending on the number of files already stored, and writing to disk while it's indexing only makes it take longer. Do this over a weekend.

When searching for new car last year, wifey's one non-negotiable requirement was old-style key ignition. She was stranded twoce before when push-button start refused to function. And she wanted all-wheel drive. We landed on very base Subaru Forester (and no, we are not lesbians). Our other car is also Japanese: Corola hybrid; we love the gas mileage, but I have to carry a full-size spare in the trunk, not even a donut supplied. I can do without the ubiquitous huge screens in cars these days. Forester and Corola have screens, but relatively small. My fun vehicle is 2012 Tacoma, everything mechanical including manual transmission. I love it.
WSJ had a pretty good article yesterday about how folks are trying to avoid (or having it removed) high tech in their cars. I hate "driver assist" and always disable it when I can.

Testing is good, but it is not perfect. You end up testing your assumptions.
I live in a field where we frequently take our application out of the box where it's been extensively tested and try to let it free in a customer environment.
"Didn't you TEST this?!" is a common customer complaint, but because of some politics, we're only allowed a very limited requirements phase, and we usually end up implementing what we *think* they wanted, or how we *construed* the system we replaced was working.
And we tested against those assumptions. A lot works in the new environment. It's not like our software immediately face-plants and nothing works. But customers notice what doesn't work when they try to test it with their process and system. And then we get "Didn't you TEST this?!"
I normally can explain the flaws of TDD (Test-driven development) and where we cannot anticipate everything. And it fails where we guessed wrong.

Hadrian, these are *old books* - decades or centuries old. The publishers may not exist any more. The type in which they were set was broken up long ago. Yes, it may be possible to create a photostatic copy of the book, assuming that the only remaining copy of the original hasn't been destroyed, but a book is a beautiful object in its own right, and to destroy it in order to feed it into the AI hopper is the act of a barbarian.

I just use linux except for taxes nowadays. Probably going to switch to an Apple box just for that due to Microsux deterioration. And yes, I have indexed, maxxed out memory, etc. on platforms to keep windows running at a decent speed. It still sucks compared with Linux or Apple.
And I have used every OS since even OS/2, from dos, to windows 3.1, to 95,98,2000,XP, NT, Win7, 8.1, and 10/11 among others.
Windoze has deteriorated and the quality of Microsoft products like Outlook, Office, Edge, and even its vestigal search engine like Bing are crapware.

Steam has it’s own Linux distro, based on Arch Linux, called SteamOS.
It runs a translation layer called Proton which converts Windows executable to Linux on the fly with a minor hit to performance. It works on most major games from the past several years, but not every game, especially those with certain DRM/Anti-Cheat features.

This. And techies don't realize the end customer will use it differently. Ran into this as a bank teller. Software didn't support something obvious that many customers wanted because no teller had been consulted when software was made.
On the other hand, Inspector was the school accountant who was consulted on software that ended up being used for decades. Did help that he also had a programming background so knew where the dev blind spots would be.

The users that can do programming are the rarest because they have the job knowledge and the specific tech knowledge to create usable programs for most and to at least understand when ordinary users have problems with the interface. Software companies rarely like to pay these types for development instead using slopware and beta testing as a substitute. AI is going to be the replacement for the coolie coder class doing the same thing. The computer will produce a result with AI but you damn sure better have the background to know what the right answer should look like and how to ask for it.
Otherwise Spaghetti black box code basically.

You are making my point for me. You are the product. When you are the product of a company, and not the customer of the company, the company doesn't have your interests in mind. It has the customer's interests in mind.
Your interests are relevant only in that there has to some value to keep you engaged as the product. That doesn't take much, especially when the company is the 800 lbs gorilla in the room.
There are competitors to google search. Anyone who doesn't like google can use them. I don't like google not because of the search. I think the search works fine. I don't like the service because it tracks your information. Again: I'm the product. But I've found some ways around that.

>>His point is that with AI you don't need the skills and the time is greatly reduced.
Indeed.
I have the skill to program all of the things I am creating, but with AI, I can roll these things out much faster and work on them simultaneously, by myself, and tweak and modify in a fraction of the time.
As I've mentioned before, I can give an AI an API spec and tell it to create a Zod schema for it and it will literally spit it back in seconds to milliseconds.
It would take a Jr web-dev a day to a week to comb through the API and create the schema.
I can give an AI a database schema spec and ask it to create an sql file for import and it will do it in seconds.
Or I can describe a functionality enhancement or ask it to comb through this codebase and find the error, and it will do it very quickly.
I basically create most of the software I want, myself, with AI assistance.
My biggest question is why are we not getting better software from BigTech who have more access to AI tools?

The problem is that software development takes too long nowadays for many reasons. A company isn't generating any revenue from a project while it is in development. Then quarterly earnings time comes up and they all the sudden need a financial boost due to a drop in other parts of their company and boom the big project under development gets pushed out too early rife with bugs and shit. Or the company just runs out of development funding and have to release with what they have.

When you have a billion people, your nominal count of super geniuses will be rather high. It's not that they don't generate them, it's that the 99% that aren't geniuses are wholly handicapped by their dysfunctional culture. The H1b explosion opened the floodgates to those with fake creds and those not smart enough to escape the cultural baggage.

I can attest that the Indian takeover of MSFT didn't start until the early 2000's. We started offshoring a LOT of stuff that had been done in Redmond/Issaquah. And the number of H1B visa holders we hired skyrocketed. MSFT went from being a place where bright American college kids worked at to being where Indians were imported from their diploma mills.
I've worked with a LOT of Indians over the decades, some are very bright. But they aren't innovators, it's not in their educational system. Maybe not in their DNA, no idea there, but they work cheap.

Linux Mint? The only issue is if you play FPS games. The anti-cheat code won't run on Linux - at least this was the warning I saw last year when I looked. Otherwise, I've had zero problems with Steam games, or other Windows games run via Lutris, or Epic, which will just utilize the Steam translation layer.

You'd probably be surprised at the depth of the "fucking Indians" problem in the big tech companies. They hire each other and cover for each other endlessly no matter how shitty the work product is.

In Exchange Server 2016, there was a content index for each mailbox database that indexed all the emails for each mailbox on that database and allowed you to search your mailbox for whatever email you were looking for.
Well, in Exchange 2019, the content index for the database was removed and replaced with a mailbox based index and the search tool was based of a Bing-related technology.
So it isn't so much Outlook sucks as the technology behind it on the server side of things sucks.

They raffled off much of The Hermitage, including it's finest artworks, to American collectors to help paper over the catastrophic collapse of desperately needed foreign reserves during the disastrous forced collectivization of farms and industrialization of cities that wiped out a generation of the peasantry - the heart & soul of Russian culture.
The Soviets were willing to emphasize the greatness of Russian culture when they needed to galvanize patriotism, or assert Russian dominance over subject ethnic populations in the imperial hinterlands.
And they were willing to sell it off like a coldhearted pimp when they went broke because they murdered off the subject populations in their own.
Everything was transactional and situational for them.

There has been a hue and cry from the left since the early 2000's to confiscate 401K assets to shore up SS, which means IRAs are also on the commie's list to steal. For regular brokerage accounts, the proposals to tax capital gains above ordinary income is also on the table. I have begin seriously investigating how to protect my assets from such assholery.

1. They were energized by the narrative.
2. They have a fidelity to the narrative that they cannot give up.
And they just play into another narrative that has shown not to be so much the case: that if you call out a person "crazies on the right" will kill him, so in calling out a person you are effectively "risking his/her life!" and you are "showing that you don't care whether he/she lives or dies".
Because "crazies on the right" regularly kill subjects of censure.
Their narratives will not go gently into that good night. Rage! Rage against the dying of the LIE!

The Morning Report — 7/ 31 /26
Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) torched Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) in an impromptu interview with CNN’s Manu Raju, and boy, Sanders didn't take it well. The blowup is over Michigan's Senate primary, where Democrat voters look poised to hand their nomination to Abdul El-Sayed, a Democratic Socialist who has spent months running to the left of nearly everyone else in the race. His chief rival, Rep. Haley Stevens (D-Mich.), is clearly the more electable option, but El-Sayed looks like he’s going to win. A recent poll shows Republican Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) beating El-Sayed by 10 points in a general election matchup. Swap in Stevens against Rogers, and the race is a dead heat, within the margin of error. Sanders, of course, has thrown his weight behind El-Sayed, and Fetterman thinks that is a mistake. In fact, he said so bluntly to Raju in a rather scathing attack on Sanders. He brought up Sanders' lack of regret for propping up Graham Platner, even after he was accused of rape and abuse by multiple ex-girlfriends, who also drew fire for comments many read as disparaging a fallen American hero.Well, sadly this is Michigan, no longer the land of Henry Ford but thanks to places like Dearbornistan and Hamastramck well on its way to transmogrification into an Islamic shitole. Well that said, and speaking of Ford, I give you someone who is not related to the Tin Lizzy inventor
Ford didn't hedge. His argument was straightforward: the Democrat Party has drifted so far from ordinary voters that its own candidates no longer resemble what the country is asking for. "Because the American people are not being ambiguous at all about what they want," Ford said. "They want lower prices; they want not-forever wars. They want their kids to have better futures and an opportunity to achieve the American dream.", and even one of their own on Fox News's The Five isn't pretending otherwise. On Thursday, Harold Ford Jr., who is far and away smarter than Jessica Tarlov, ripped into his party for propping up socialist candidates like Abdul El-Sayed, who is running for the U.S. Senate in Michigan.And yet far away geographically and politically from Michigan there's Texas.
Host Erin Burnett said, “So, let me ask you about this poll that just came in here while we were talking in the past few minutes from Fox, Larry. The Republican Senate candidate, Ken Paxton, is now trailing the Democrat, James Talarico, in Texas. Ok, Texas. This is the first public poll where either candidate has hit the 50% mark. Ok. It’s Texas. It’s an incredible thing to see this. It’s also the end of July. Where do you see that race going?” Sabato said, “I’ve been around a long time. And since 1994, I’ve gotten call after call virtually every day from Texans in politics on the Democratic side, saying, ‘This is the year. We’re finally gonna do it.’ But you know what? I’m starting to believe it’s actually possible this year, not just because James Talarico is a great candidate, which he is, but Paxton is so awful. And I’m sorry to use that word. But, you know, we used to have a word, a flaunter, meaning he’s a sinner who flaunts the sin. And that pretty much has been the way Paxton has conducted his public career. A lot of these donors won’t touch him. Notice, he’s not doing well at all raising money. It’s because they have family and friends and businesses to protect, and they really don’t want to identify themselves publicly with a candidate who has Paxton’s record.”
So okay, taken together Harold Ford although a decent fellow, isn't exactly a rock-ribbed conservative and Larry Sabato is a pollster who's been around the block for a long time and his record of prognostication let alone on the temperament of the electorate are not exactly stellar or even reliable unless I'm missing something. But seriously, does this abject freak have a shot at taking a senate seat in Texas, regardless of Paxton's appeal or lack thereof? I mean Texas rejected Abortion Barbie and she makes Talarico look like Chairman Mao in comparison, or at least from my perspective as an ex-New York Yid living in the sticks of southern Wisconsin. So if Socialism is such a big winner why are the Democrats seemingly all freaked out about it as several links in the Politics section seem to be driving at? The contradictions about this are maddening. What I guess I'm driving at beyond these individual races is what does all this say about the nation as a whole and the trajectory we're on? As the song goes . . . "Will our story shine like a light, or end in the dark?!!!!"

In 2020, the last weeks, Trump was doing his rallies (remember how they forced him to hold them at airports in the middle of nowhere due to Covid, all the blue cities banning crowds--but not BLM--for safety?)
Anyway, he would give his speech, rally the crowd, but it was ... off. Like he knew it was close, in the wrong direction, hoping against hope.
But in 2024, he was happy, having fun--he knew he already won.

She lied in the debate, is a nasty little scold of a type that everybody is familiar with, to the point where the Karens here see a little of themselves in her and are nervous. She has zero appeal outside their demographic. $61 million down the drain.

If you polled all of them, you might get 5 who think they are going to hold the Senate.
Something which is damned near impossible; the Dems winning.
Because it means losing both or at least one of LA and TX.
But, regardless, they believe it, bc the people they trust, the news they read, tells them the Senate is in play.
And I'll bet at least 40 of them think both TX and LA are lost.
Not bc of any polling or how red the states are. But bc they hate their "friends" lost and they believe stupid lies like "well, they have never won a Senate seat before, so they'll probably lose."
And that's why you have at least 10 GOPe that are dead-set against the SAVE Act:
they think they are buying themselves a separate peace with the Dems in 2027--sold at the price of your freedoms.

2) Larry Sabato is coasting on an (unearned) reputation that is nearly 20 years stale. He's not some wizard with insight--he has a staff of interns who collate the news (which is nearly exclusively left), mixes in polling and then "weighs" it to "predict" races.
He is no more accurate than the crowd--don't buy his bullshit "98% accuracy." (more on that to come)
3) Talarico won't win. It won't even be close. He'll be lucky to break 45%. The same people saying the same things now were saying them back when they were predicting Cornyn would win. And, before that, when they were predicting he'd lose the statewide AG race.

The fact that his every utterance is hateful to Texans, the fact that the blacks don't like him, the fact that the Texicans don't like him, the fact that he's under investigation for election fraud... none of those things change the fact that he's on the ballot, for now, and therefore could, theoretically, flip the Senate seat.

Posted by: man at July 31, 2026 08:07 AM (cGjQu)
Answer:
Short answer: his headline "98% accuracy" is real but mostly measures how lopsided most American elections are, not forecasting skill. When you isolate the races where it actually mattered — genuine toss-ups — his edge over just following the polls shrinks to modest-to-nonexistent, and in the two biggest calls of the last 11 years he missed exactly where the polling consensus also missed.
The headline numbers: Center for Politics (Sabato's own shop) touts a lifetime 98% accuracy rate on U.S. House calls, 98% on Senate, 94% on governors. That's true, but it's inflated by the fact that in any given cycle, 80-90% of House/Senate/Governor races aren't remotely close — safe D or safe R seats that a coin, an incumbent-always-wins rule, or "whoever's leading in whatever polling exists" would also call correctly. That part of the record tells you almost nothing about Sabato specifically.

Didn't that senile has-been Cornyn blame Mike Lee of " demoralizing the GOP" because of Lee's tenacity in trying to get the Establishment to pass the Save America Act?
Trying to shame your Party's seditionists into acting positively on what 90% of your party wants is "demoralizing" yet promoting Screwtape as your replacement in the Senate is not?

The socialists are absolutely the first order of business. The Democrats plan to transform before our eyes and the GOP does not have the stomach nor the desire for the fight them once they do.
You can't do much about the second thing you mentioned right now that Trump isn't doing (borders), but trust me he knows what this DSA op is, and has a plan in place to deal with it.
The operation is purposely much more diffuse than the Squad or having one charismatic person. They believe he doesn't have the ability to fight such a wide ranging "movement". But I think he does. And if we get there, it's gonna be a marvel.

Furthermore, if you can remain quiet about anti-Israel candidates and Muslims in swing states during the Democrat primaries, you begin to break up one of the most powerful Democrat power blocks.
Jews have voted 75+% for Democrats and Jews are their largest campaign contributors. When you put anti-Zionist candidates on the Democratic ballot, you eliminate a lot of their voting and funding base.
When it gets to the general, sure, call those anti-Zionists Hitler and Muslims and all that. But during the primaries, it's best to let the Democrats put in radical candidates.

Although Xi is cracking down on the PLA leadership, there may be a few generals/colonels who are starting to think of themselves as "warlords."

That may be true, but one can't discount the fact Karen is hard core racist and sees brown people as toddlers who need her protection.
Its reinforced by The Narrative that all minorities and non-whites and lunatics are "disadvantaged" or "oppressed" or "at risk". The Manipulators are deliberately conjuring up maternal instincts in a person who has murdered her children at the recommendation of those same Manipulators.
That is why you see her speaking for "disadvantage group" ____. The synapses firing in her mind have her pretending she is standing before the PTA about how her child is perfect in every way.

Paxton beat George P. Bush to become AG. That's the source of the hate for him. The Bush Republicans, still a force in Texas, and the Democrats have been trying to get rid of Paxton ever since. But he keeps winning.
So they impeached him. A bunch of 'Republicans' in the legislature voted to impeach but the Senate acquitted, sadly on partisan lines. In the next election, several (most?) of those 'Republicans' were gone, either retired of defeated. Three members of the Texas Supreme Court decided that they's square off against Paxton - all of them lost their seats.
Paxton isn't going to lose.

I'm even more optimistic. The mid-terms will be decided by Turnout. Turnout. Turnout.
Trump has gotten White Non-College to turnout after they were evicted from their historic home in the D party. Hispanics and Black Men have been joining. Still plenty of room to grow.
Trump will run this year as if he's the head of the ticket. Public polls miss "unexected" increases in Turnout.
And there's disarray with the Ds which should hurt their Turnout.

("No country which has gone socialist," he used to say, "has ever gone back." To which I replied, "That's because once it has, it can't.")
I don't expect he would ever vote for, or stop hating, Donald Trump. But maybe, just maybe, in the face of increasing prices for everything, he has begun to realize that his Dem party has left him and other working people behind.

And everyone else is like, "maybe if they treated Trump with 1% of the civility, decorum and respect the office of President deserves, they would have grounds to complain."
And it really is something, how these cartel judges have no hesitation in attacking the motives, character and beliefs of Trump--and the 75 million who voted for him--in in the most outlandish, dishonest and derogatory way possible.
But also, each of the tweets complained of specifically attack their rulings and say nothing about them personally.

Lol.
Have you ever posted a comment here about how the ever increasing price of things has made life difficult for young men and then seen how conservatives respond?
Here is the difference: When you tell a Democrat that prices are increasing and making life hard, they will say "Oh yeah, corporations are evil and we are going to do something about it", even though they never do and it's all bullshit.
But if you tell a Republican that they'll mutter out something about getting a second job or bootstraps.
Now, the Republican is actually telling you the truth (that nothing will be done about it, you're gonna have to deal with it) but the message isn't nearly as enticing.

Because it's 100% true.
All the lefties are faking onto the fainting couches at the incivility.
"the judges are getting death threats! They're attacking their character, not their rulings!"
And everyone else is like, "maybe if they treated Trump with 1% of the civility, decorum and respect the office of President deserves, they would have grounds to complain."

Is it just a case of Dems hammering away about some real or, more probably, manufactured character defect and Paxton is refusing to respond to their accusations? I vaguely recall maybe something about a messy divorce. Is Paxton just not taking their bait and that means he's "flaunting"? Lefties are always trying to pile guilt on other people.

1) why was he not removed from office?
2) why was he not then immediately run out of the country?”
The only “proven fact” I know of was that some of his uniparty office staff didn’t like him and filed complaints about him (which were later found to be false) and due to expediency, Paxton came up with a legal way to pay them off and get them out of his office.
And he and his wife got a divorce, like that’s never happened before.

Yep. Now some Republicans do more openly tie immigration to prices and you can point out the inflation rate dropped as soon as Trump stopped mass migration. Now that didn't drop prices but it did stop the massive increases.
And then the other thing Republicans should be doing and talking about is looting the NGOs that got rich off looting the taxpayers. You can promise to do all sorts of things with that money to meet all the leftist election pablum and then actually use it to reduce the debt (and thereby inflation)

In 2020, the Dems wiped out nearly all Rs in Harris County.
And you can see they hate Paxton even more bc he's trying to fix that as well.
I'm sure they don't want the voting audits any more than the Dems.
I've said it before, but look at the results, in every race, the Dems have manufactured, at minimum, 100k votes in Houston.

I may not be far behind. Found out yesterday afternoon we go back into the office five days a week starting 08-17.
I currently drive 486 miles a week. (3 days)
Work is having us go into the office five days a week. That's an extra 324 miles for a total of 810 miles a week.
$60 a fill up 3x a week = $180 or $360 every two weeks. I don't make enough to cover almost $800 a month for gas. Not counting wear & tear on my truck. And there's no real work in this podunk town.
And that doesn't count the physical wear and tear on me by having 15 hour days.

During the primary...
Ken Paxton spent $7.49 million in total disbursements for his U.S. Senate campaign as reported to the Federal Election Commission, with $7.41 million categorized as operating expenditures. Cornyn spent $128M.
Cornyn would have beaten Talarico but he couldn't beat Paxton, even with a massive spending blitz. Talarico won't win.

So allegedly the US Military is not permitted by law to recruit sub 85 (or so) IQ individuals—because no level of training will ever make them useful in the military.
Which to me, means, that even private industry can't help them. How much training do you need to do each morning to train a person who represents the bottom 10% of the country in intellect to toss fries at McDonalds? They won't waste their time on him.
Which goes against the two opposing arguments of "For Every Person There Is A Job" and "Anyone Can Be Trained For Any Position".
What does society do with the 10% who will never be able to hold a job? I can tell you what they are doing right now—they're on opiates for depression and pain.
Since society has no place for these people, why do we keep importing the tribes that dope heavily in this band?

I think some of Trump's best work has been done on the medical side.
Reducing the price of insulin and EliPens were actually real initiatives that reduced costs for struggling individuals.
These weren't really lowered by "removing regulations", but actually by using the power of the government as the largest purchaser to negotiate a better price.

Schumer (D-NY) hailed Fetterman (D-Pa.) as “a very good member of Congress” and downplayed criticism of his colleague from the far-left.
“People in our caucus very much like him and respect him and we’re a big-tent party. We can have a lot of different views in that party,” Schumer told reporters, according to the Hill.

We have the same type of degree, you and I. Difference is, I don't brandish mine at people, like you tried with me when you were making an indefensible prediction about an Iranian uprising leading to a constitutional monarchy, and I called it a ludicrous neocon fantasy some time ago.
Well... here we are, with the resplendent Shah ensconced on his peacock throne, being feted by the adoring masses of his shiny new Jeffersonian democracy.

Greenland is an autonomous collective.
From Wiki: Greenland's colonial status ceased in 1953, becoming an integral part of the Kingdom of Denmark. It gained home rule in 1979 and further autonomy, including self-determination, in 2009.

Officer Brian Sicknick — a proud son of New Jersey, a veteran, and a true American hero — gave his life defending our Capitol and our democracy.
Today, July 30th is now “Brian Sicknick Day” in our state. May we never forget his courage, his service, and the sacred duty we all share to protect the institutions he died defending.
Still waiting for you to remember all of the police killed by BLM protesters:
On July 7, 2016, Micah Xavier Johnson ambushed and shot police officers in Dallas, Texas, killing five, injuring nine others, and wounding two civilians. Johnson, a 25-year-old Army Reserve Afghan War veteran, was angry over police shootings of black men.

WE here are political junkies. I have been linking this site and associated links in emails to fellow "conservatives" since 2008 or so. Sadly, most of those emails fall on deaf ears. Most pay no attention to the world outside their little bubble. It's frustrating. By and large, the left is driven, 24/7. Our side is not. To most, they pay attention the week before an election. Or don't bother because "I don't like him/her". That's the reality. We here are not the normal voter. Not by a long shot.

I don't know what to tell you. Paxton has laid waste to all who came before him and Talarico has only ever been elected by Austinites.
My wife pays as little attention to politics as possible and she's aware of what a freak he is. Is it possible that the Bushie voters will back him in retribution for removing their beloved Cornyn? I guess. I mean they killed Cruz's election which is why we have the unstoppable Beto in office.

Daily Tech News 31 July 2026
Top Story
- Renesas (a Japanese company formed by the merger of the semiconductor operations of Hitachi and Mitsubishi) has announced multiplexers for third-generation MRDIMMs. (WCCFTech)
You'd be entirely justified in asking Wut? at this point, but this is a great technology landing at precisely the wrong time.
MRDIMMs are registered memory taken to the next level. Since the memory modules have interface chips - the registers - on them, you can have multiple banks of memory on each module, allowing 256GB DIMMs instead of just 64GB.
What the M part stands for is multiplexed, meaning that when you access the memory it interleaves data from two banks at once, so that transfers are twice as fast.
The new multiplexers run at 16GHz.
Which means you get user upgradable high-capacity memory modules that run at the sort of speed normally associated with the memory on video cards.
Which would be amazing and allow for some seriously powerful integrated graphics except that memory is so expensive right now that there is absolutely no point to it.
Tech News
- LLMs are broken and can't ever be fixed. (GitHub)
We've touched on this before. Computers have separate areas in memory reserved for instructions and data respectively, with strict controls over which is which. When those controls break down, you get a common class of security vulnerabilities - buffer overflows and the like.
LLMs don't have that. Worse, they pass benchmarks running tests for that problem with flying colours - typically blocking 100% of attacks - but when faced with a real human attacker they fail 100% of the time.
- What we know of Nvidia's 5000 Super series. (WCCFTech)
Supposedly they are already in production but have been hidden away because nobody knows how to price them.
- Also, I bought an RX 6400 today. The least powerful recent AMD graphics card and by a good margin, but also the least power hungry, and physically the smallest. It's not much slower than the RX 580 (I have a couple of those) but is a tiny low profile card that only uses 50W of power.
Also a lot cheaper and smaller than, say, an RTX 3050, while not being that much slower. Not something you'd buy unless you need to fit the card in a low-profile slot, but the Hyte / Hololive limited edition cases (of which I now have five) only allow for a single full-height card, so I do.
- 2x, not 10x. (OBryant)
Sounds about right.
Musical Interlude
Great song, even if the band hated it. I hate the video though. Sorry about that.
When I saw it for the first time I wondered, who do they think they are, the B-52s? And then it registered who the female vocalist is on this track.

The only time he meows is when he gets put in the cage to go to vet or the first couple of days when I think he was calling out for his mother. He does have a loud purr, though.

My knee seems to be recovered from its twinges. I have in mind going for a mild half-hour walk in a little while to see how it does when asked to work a little harder. Maybe I can get back to a short walk-run by Sunday.
Thinking, too, of going out to breakfast after. Not sure yet.

You design aircraft to be from aeroelastic instabilities. Meaning your flying around and you explode. ??? What? Yes, so as you fly, propel yourself along, you are feeding atmospheric fluctuations into the flexible airframe. Many frequencies that resonate and combine and possibly cause rapid divergent nonlinearity, ie explode. So why doesn't this happen all the time? Well it's frowned upon, and generally forbidden in all regulation. So you design it out of the system. And then add controls. Oh no... So now you design for an aeromechanical system wrapped in software. Very very difficult. But doable. And then you add a pilot. Oh no... A millions of years old evolutionary outcome that partied too hard last night. Lots of things happen. Some easy to predict like g forces pull their hands and control stick back. Some harder because the software is designed, goal seeks to help the pilot but the pilot adapts to the interface. Two complex moving changing system.
LLMs will change but also the users will change to adapt. Both will hallucinate. Interesting things will happen. Possibly not useful interesting.

Running very inefficiently designed/coded software that is horsing your CPU to 100%. Could be third party adverts delivered by the site, or the site itself, and with "vibe coding" (AI, write me code that does...) being proven in some cases to write stuff that's absolutely miserable in terms of performance, we're going to be seeing a lot more of that.
To help eliminate the advertising/3rd party portion, try running the site in Brave and see if it does any better.

Thursday Overnight Open Thread - July 30, 2026 [Doof]
From MatthewLovesUSA
From the "Wait - she wasn't already dead??" files --
It is with profound sorrow that we bid farewell to Jeanne Gibson, our beloved Rosie the Riveter, has passed away today, July 29, 2026, at the remarkable age of 100. With her passing, we don't simply mourn the loss of a beloved friend, we honor the life of an American hero whose courage, dedication, and unwavering spirit helped shape history, and will continue to inspire generations to come. At just 18 years old, Jeanne left her home in Minnesota in the summer of 1944 and answered her nation's call, becoming a welder at Todd Pacific Shipyards in Seattle. With determination and grit, she helped build destroyers that strengthened the Allied war effort during World War II. She later continued her service with the Army Transportation Corps in Juneau, Alaska, embodying the resilience and patriotism of the Greatest Generation.Read the whole thing here ----- Still a mystery

A South Florida couple who has opened their home to dozens of children is being recognized by the Savannah Bananas through the team's Bananas Foster initiative. John and Tammy McGuire were honored during a recent Florida game for their commitment to foster care and adoption, causes that have long been part of their family history.Bravo to the McGuires for making a difference for all of those children!
"My grandmother and grandfather ran an orphanage, and John's mother adopted a relative placement," Tammy McGuire said. The McGuires had children of their own when they decided to become foster parents, believing they could make a difference in the lives of children in need. Over the years, 61 children have stayed in their home.

----- I am not ready for this - are you? Some robotaxis approved to operate without steering wheels and losing the brake pedal could be next
Federal regulators are clearing the way for robotaxis to operate without manual controls like steering wheels or eventually even brake pedals as the rules start to catch up to the evolving technology. Amazon’s fully autonomous Zoox vehicles got approval Thursday to begin charging customers for rides in the specially designed cars that feature four inward-facing seats once they secure state and local approval. Zoox has already been offering free rides in Las Vegas and San Francisco since last year. At least a couple people were waiting at most stops Thursday afternoon for rides up and down the Vegas strip aboard one of the distinctive boxy-shaped vehicles. “It’s kind of scary at first, but when I just got used to it, it’s really cool and chilling. I really liked the music and how you can adjust the temperature,” Chloe Huu from Ann Arbor, Michigan, said after taking a ride in a Zoox Thursday. But the projected wait time for the ride kept changing, which made it hard to plan. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration also proposed a rule last month to allow robotaxis to operate without brake pedals, but that proposal is still pending. Administrator Jonathan Morrison said his agency wants to update the regulations to fit these fully autonomous vehicles while still acting as the “cop on the beat to make sure that this is being done right.”Long article. Check out the whole thing.

My sweet Mama was not a good cook, but even she would not fix that horror. She inherited her talent from her English mother who cooked bland. My brothers would laugh at me if she made meatloaf as I'd hide it the best I could in mashed potatoes. It had the consistency of a sponge and I still haven't figured out how she did that...and don't want to know.
Thankful my father's mother was a fantastic cook of everything as she learned as a day student at a French convent. On the border of MS and LA. I learned there is good food you can make from her: French, Creole, seafood, and she baked. Fantastic.
I left you a note at the cafe about us painting cabinets for one of our bathrooms a couple of years ago. Dark teal...when I saw your kitchen post.

I left you a note at the cafe about us painting cabinets for one of our bathrooms a couple of years ago. Dark teal...when I saw your kitchen post.

Ohhhhh….sounds very cool! I wonder if I should horde source my decisions. Just repaint the same colors or totally new. I picked the original colors, so it’s not that I don’t like it. And the house is open, so there has to be some connection. But I literally painted every single thing in this house black fox or Greek villa. Nothing else.

Yep.
The Marie Callendar chicken pot pies are surprisingly decent now. When the fridge is empty and you don't have time to run to the store, two piping hot out of the microwave are decent.
Wish they were still 25 cents though.

The men in my family are Grandaddy. Because the South. Except my mom’s dad- he was (are you ready?) Bumpa. Because he saw it in a movie, thought it was hysterical, and that was what it would be.
He also had a song and dance he did to get rid of warts (he played the guitar). It was a series of specific circle directions. I wish I could remember the lyrics, but I never had a wart, so it was just my cousins. It worked, though, so…*twilight zone music*.

The cabinets were oak from 1994. Shower door a mess, slick tile floors, etc. I wanted dark teal & that's what I got. It looks more like a dresser than vanity, if that makes sense.
We upgraded our bathrooms in FL before we moved, but cream glossy paint(built home for 20yrs) & two different owners have kept the bathrooms as we left them. Same deal: wooden appliques & painted over it all. New light fixures and hardware and done.
Sometimes I miss Florida, mostly my pool. Dang it. I do have mountains now but it's hot & not my favorite time of year.
Miami Vice just started the year we moved (1984) with a newborn and 2yr old. Our Friday night date. Adding '80's music to the show was great.

**********
Mine in nursing school:
Cereal, juice and instant coffee poison
Cheeseburger, fries, Coke at student union or hospital
Cheesburger, fries, salad, milk for dinner unless it looked edible. Maybe dessert.
Never gained an ounce. Youth and a lot of walking as I did not own a car (Daddy would not let me take the Impala and it was in his name...it was his last desperate try to keep me from moving).
I had legs of steel and rode busses or got rides with friends or the dude that married me.
I hitchhiked one time and got picked up by an undercover cop in a heavy snowstorm on Thanksgiving at 0615 for work as a nurse tech...I didn't know the busses were not running that day. I was freaked out as he yelled at me for most of the ride, got my MS ID and I thought he'd call my parents.
I said let me out a few blocks from the hospital and I'd walk.No. He drove me to the front door and then I thought he'd march me into the nursing director's office. He said he'd arrest me if he caught me again.

Does anyone have a count for the number of times "witnesses" have pleaded the 5th before Congress?
ChatGPT says Alger Hiss did, 7 times; Oliver North, at last 40 times.
But Tony Fauci ... 100? What major, international, world-wide, James-Bond-super-arch-villain-grade Do-er of Evil could he be protecting?
Congress really needs to investigate this.

I'm not sure what you're asking, but there was a lot of legal brouhaha over whether the city could approve attaching cable to to telephone and electric utility poles. The answer was yes. There were payments, etc, but the gist is that the city can define a "public utility" pretty broadly. If the pole in question is on a public utility easement, the city CAN approve any damned thing they want by defining it right.

When I had bypass surgery the hospital was bringing me steak dinners. Really good ones too. I asked them, is this normal? I thought red meat was a nooo nooo. They said no you need protein, beef is good. The surgeon said I don't care how much red meat you have, but you can't smoke anymore. I figured ok. on the way home from the hospital I stopped an Mcdonalds and had a 1/4 pounder. The cardiologist freaked when I told him. See that shit? Mixed signals, nobody can get their shit straight. Now they can kiss my ass, because I went carnivore and the sugar they all bitched at dropped like a lead balloon.

Before I moved to PR I needed to make as much money as I could so I took a 2nd job doing an overnight shift doing the real cleaning at a McDonald's. This is back when they had no shit guys from the company who would come do white glove inspections.
My cleaning partner was an ex-con drug addict with a high twitch factor. He didn't do much work but he scared me enough at first I did enough for both of us just so I didn't have to interact with him.
For some reason he decided not to kill me after a week and we had an ok working relationship after that. I wouldn't rent him a paper cup much less a property. I met some of his friends. There are some seriously messed up people here already, we don't need to import more.

Once upon a time I managed 200 Section 8/Low Income/Ghetto Rat/Illegal Aliens apartments as a bridge gig for a couple years until I could retire. I had to carry bear spray and a firearm which sort of ruined everything. One of my "tenets" managed to get out of prison after spending decades there. Surprise ending: He ended back in prison for murdering a drug dealer by shooting him in the face while robbing him. Then there were the endless rent collection issues, evictions, bedbugs, people flooding their apartments, failed plumbing, rats, the mental illnesses, the random gun fights, people overdosing on the properties, and random sex acts in the laundry rooms. This list is not exhaustive. Everybody should have this experience as it makes you appreciate normal things.

I got caught up in a video of an American interviewing Spanish people in Barcelona. In part of the city feral black barbarians were peeing in the street and heard he was American and chased him off.
He went to a more refined area and of all the people he spoke to one man was normal thinking of what was coming. The rest were kumbaya.
It is definately a political ploy by Sanchez for election. They admit it. There was a man from Morocco (I think) who spoke English well. Of the 40 people in line only 4 were not islamic. He said free healthcare, free everything (have we heard this before with illegals here, especially in blue states?). One old dame with a Keffiyeh scarf said the last stabbing was isolated due to mental illness.
Well, lady, seeing as they seem mental with low IQ's, good luck.
It was depressing to me. 500k were already given immunity, so what's 10k more?
Spain will not fight this til, maybe, like where they are now, they invade homes and rape/kill.

Oysters taste like the mud they grew in and have the consistency of late stage cold lougie.
I like liverwurst and braunschweiger, which is almost a pate.
Everybody likes jello, in one flavor or another.
But gefilte fish is an acquired taste.
Which leads me to a story:
A lunch out with cow-orkers in the Bay Area - damn! nearly 50 years ago - at a good Chinese restaurant. One is first-gen Chinese, and he's sitting next to me. The waiter is taking orders, and he orders something called Beef with Bitter Melon. I say, "I've never had that, I'll try it." He stops the waiter, assures me I won't like it, and tells me to order something else - he'll give me a taste so I can try it.
The food arrives and the vegetable on his plate is trefoil-shaped, half dollar size with seeds visible. I pick up.one and stick it in my mouth.
"Gaaahhh!" I spit it out and say, "How can you eat this?"
His reply, "It's an acquired taste."
"How in hell do you acquire a taste for this?"
"Simple. Your parents beat you for not eating."

This is a news agency from Hungary. There is NOTHING to be found in the UK DM nor NY Post tonight. That's where I got the numbers. I have no idea, and maybe no one does. They could be continuing to come in waves. Spain does not care based on the sample of people in Barcelona.
The fact that two EU countries are having Islamic politicial parties is a knife to their culture, religion and freedom. Belgium and Spain are gone.
Italy seems riled up today and good for them. They should be before the Vatican is a mosque.
I only care because someday my grandchildren may have to deal with this. I pray they never have to practice their faith in hiding as those in Iran.
Me? If they tell me to convert or die I think you know which I will choose as I am unafraid of dying and I will never deny Christ.
I am more afraid of what is to come for my beloved grands if this ever happens here.
The rational side of my brain tells me it won't due to guns and or military. And, please, God, let the GOP win in November and in 2028.

I'm ready for bed but found this depressing. Especially the interview with an American guy in Barcelona. I think Elon linked it and I read it altho I don't have X. They are clueless as to what is happening.
ONE man knows what's happening. I was shocked. Have never wanted to go to Spain and that's fine, as I've seen all I want of Europe with the exception of Poland and Croatia.
They are all brainwashed libtards in the affluent areas. I don't know how far away are the blacks without shirts chasing off white people and peeing on walls.
They are actively seeking their own Islamic political party. I learned tonight that Belgium already has one.
I am a very optimistic person so I am possibly simply tired. The sheep do not know what is coming, and by the time they know it will be too late.
Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at July 31, 2026 02:09 AM (hzuYO)
Tried them a few years back.
They taste similar to how they did back in the day but not quite the same, more of a processed flavor like just about everything these days.
They are also smaller than they used to be, with much, much, less of whatever passes for “meat” inside them. The raviolis in the 80s were thicker and filled with ground beef.
They also make a “Cheese” stuffed ravioli now which I found to be revolting.
Spaghetti-Os were never my fav so I won’t even bother trying them now.

WNBA posts – then deletes – video of Angel Reese gambling on her own game
Just more proof that the WNBA isn't a real sports league!
It's in direct violation of the WNBA's league rules, and they posted it on the WNBA's social media!
(This explains why Angel's been missing all those buckets, right?)
You see, in real sports leagues like the NBA, NFL, and MLB, gambling on your own game could get you banned from the league, or at the very least suspended. It's the cardinal sin of sports.
Just ask Pete Rose.
If Caitlin Clark were in this video, it would break the internet and lead network news stations. Sophie Cunningham would cause riots.
Angel Reese does it? Paige Bueckers?
It's not even in the WNBA's top headlines on ESPN this morning.

I got a new stove at the beginning of the year. When the first crew installed it, they stripped the screws holding the electrical leads in place, so the stove wouldn't work fully.

We had a snap surprise formation in front of the barracks one day in AIT. Nobody knew what it was for. We stood at parade rest or whatever for quite some time. Occasionally we’d hear shouts and loud metallic bangs from inside the barracks. After some time the 1st sergeant appeared, a short statured individual who was really wound up. He threw one of the laundry room washers at our general direction off the front porch deal. Impressive. Boy he was pissed!
Turns out, army sleeping bags, rucks, boots, and all that shit will ruin a washer or dryer. Who knew, right? Well … everyone did. I thought he was gonna have a stroke

The two friendly giant spiders that immediately came to my mind are:
Shriek -- from Philip Jose Farmer's "The Dungeon" series. She's eight feet tall, covered in poison-tipped hairs, and telepathic. She's also a loyal companion and friend, sacrificing herself at the end so that the main character can continue his journey. Awesome character.
Krek -- from Robert E. Vardeman's "Cenotaph Road." He's a male giant spider who is also quite heroic and friendly towards the main protagonist. Not as cool as Shriek, but still entertaining.

Work is having us go into the office five days a week. That's an extra 324 miles for a total of 810 miles a week.
$60 a fill up 3x a week = $180 or $360 every two weeks. I don't make enough to cover almost $800 a month for gas. Not counting wear & tear on my truck. And there's no real work in this podunk town.

Yeah, when Trump declared that all fed employees had to be in the office all week, I took Elon's buyout. I moved out here because I could work from home three days a week. Then they said tough titties. Would have taken 8 hours drive time out of my week, and not accomplished a damned thing, since I always got more done at home than at the office.
The buyout paid for 9 months full salary while I didn't work, and now I'm retired. Pretty good deal for me, but sucks if you can't find a workaround.
Blanket office policies are great if they are there when you make your life decisions, but not so great when they spring them on you after you paid your mortgage.

Although Farmer's name is on the series, he didn't write any of the books. He served more in the "creative consultant" role.
Shriek--a giant spider--does end up falling in love with Clive Folliot--the human protagonist--and sees him as her mate by the end of the series though. It gets a little weird at that point.

One fall weekend in my freshman year a group of us were trying to figure out what to do. I didn't know everyone in the group and one of the guys I just met said we could take a drive to his mom's camp down on the coast. Beautiful Saturday, let's go.
Long story short his mom's "camp" turned out to be a waterfront mansion near the harbor. It was being painted so he suggested we go to his island instead. Uh, wut?
Turned out he was a grandson of the founder of IBM and the island was left to him by his dad who passed away a couple years prior. He really did own his own island off the Maine coast.
He lasted one whole year before flunking out.

Instead of Life Alert's "I've fallen, and I can't get up", they could pick you up and get you into a safer position - if it's safe. There's always transfers (bed/wheelchair/chair/toilet). Taking out the trash, carrying laundry, and similar work.

No, definitely not. But they all need money. bin Laden's biggest attribute was he was rich. Zawahiri was the Muslim Brotherhood heartbeat but he was a lot less harmful without bin Laden's money.
Iran has been funding terrorists around the world not just the Middle East. They existed in Venezuela on Iran's money. I don't expect it all to disappear overnight but without hundreds of millions funding these scumbags I expect they will be a lot less lethal on a large scale.

I ran their retirement calc., and found it has a flaw in the SS calculation
I'm 6 years retired, and their output for my SS is wayyyy understated. It would have been helpful for them to have just let me input my current payments, than have it calculated off the "current income" field.
Of course I may have missed something along the way, but I've played around with the data fields, and couldn't get my SS to come out of the program.

Hopefully AOP will be along with the definitive answer, but I'll take a stab at it. When you say "dryer won't heat" does that mean it tumbles, without heat? If so, a possibility is that one leg of the 240V feed is disconnected. Generally, dryers use one leg plus the neutral to run the tumble motor on 120V, and both legs for the 240V heating element. If one leg has somehow been disconnected it could explain what your seeing. Maybe something got bumped while the washer was being installed.

Welp. There septic tank backed up and there was chaos. Fortunately they were all family, I guess. I am unclear of what else happened but this much I do know.
When our boys were 1 and 3yrs they visited in FL and our water got messed up from roots of a tree. It was delightful to hose my boys down outside vs a shower from the neighbors. My FIL enjoyed figuring out the problem.
On one trip she instructed me on how to clean the coils of the fridge with a metal coat hanger wrapped in yarn. Which means at some point she looked under the fridge on all fours. I also learned how to get the gunk out of the old dishwasher rubber thing with a toothbrush, which I didn't know I should do.
The main people who enjoyed their visits were my coworkers in the newborn nursery as I taught them the housekeeping tricks to their laughter.

If they are being welcomed onto Spanish territory and given amnesty why would they stop in Africa? Hell, why would they stop at Spain?

The Moroccans blame Spain for being a backwards Islamist hell hole full of infighting and misery, and the Spanish agree with them.
The veterans of the Spanish Civil War blame the Spanish and Franco for not providing them with pensions, forgetting that Morocco is a kingdom today because of their service to the Nationalists and later to Spain under Franco

Hi Piper! A couple of years ago we had the basement bathroom/and shower refinished. We repainted the cabinets and added wooden French appliques to the doors. Then framed the mirror to match that looks antique but is in fact some sort of fake wood. A deep teal color. Fancy dark oiled brass knobs I found. Done!
Had fake quartz top installed along with the shower frame. My dude did the plumbing and installed the dark vinyl wood flooring. We went as cheaply as possible as this bathroom is rarely used. Painting the cabinets saved us some money and they look really good. It's nice, too,as you know exactly what color they will be.
The other bathrooms and kitchen were gutted and very expensive 10yrs ago. This house has been replaced down to the hinges over the years and we are done forever.

At least it was family? Holidays on my parents farm always means disaster, whether AC or losing power. Losing power in 1987 during and ice storm was great for our boys playing pioneer times.
Losing AC in late May is another story and that text was what met me when we landed in NOLA last summer. My text msg to my brother was: Find us a hotel. Which turned out to be very nice and the grands had fun.

Quick Hits
Attacks on Anthony Fauci were part of a right-wing plot to "destroy democracy," former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) head Anthony Fauci mused in his personal diary released by Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY). When Fauci was not marveling over his rise to global fame or desperately reaching out to former President Barack Obama for PR help as his reputation sank to new depths, Fauci convinced himself that attacks against him were all part of an elaborate plot of the political right to "destroy democracy." In an October 3, 2021 entry, Fauci wrote that the country "is headed to or might already be in a constitutional crisis with the far right clearly indicating that they're going to try and disrupt elections and essentially destroy the democracy." "The attacks on me I believe are all a tangential part of that process," Fauci surmised, flattering himself in the process. "I speak of the big lie of which I unfortunately have been drawn into being a target of the far right because I represent something that is antithetical to them, namely, the truth," he continued.
Prosecutors release more admissions by Tyler Robinson that he murdered Charlie Kirk, provoking Candace Owens to ask the question, when did the Jews get to Tyler Robinson? The left claims "Not all Muslims are terrorists." But the left's pussyfooting around calling out terrorism, for fear of offending their Muslim supporters, suggests the left does in fact believe that all Muslims are terrorists. Or at least, they support terrorism.
Not every Muslim is an Islamist, but every Islamist is a Muslim. The vast majority of ordinary British Muslims want nothing to do with their terrorist-supporting co-religionists; in many cases it is the tyranny and cruelty of Islamism that forced them to seek a new life here in the first place. And yet despite this clear distinction, despite the unambiguous motivations of a religiously inspired psychopath who thought he was doing God's will by attacking a Pride march, there are few politicians -- especially Labour ones -- with the courage to call it what it is. The X platform is awash with the usual boilerplate, box-ticking condolences you get on such (frequent) occasions. The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, posted: "London stands in solidarity with Berlin's LGBTQ+ community. This is why Pride matters. Those who seek to spread hatred and division will never win." Those who seek to spread hatred and division? Anyone particular in mind, Lord Khan? How odd that the mayor of a city that has suffered more than its fair share of Islamist atrocities can't bring himself to name the poisonous ideology that provokes such inhuman acts. Sadly, there were plenty of others who followed the same craven pattern. Catherine West MP predicted that "hope will triumph over hate". But whose hate? Simon Lightwood MP's thoughts were with "everyone affected, their loved ones and the wider LGBT+ community". Everyone affected by what, though? Why did the attack even take place? Any thoughts. Simon? Ludicrously, Kate Osborne, Labour MP for Jarrow, actually compared the Islamist attack in Berlin to the rise of Reform UK, which would be funny were the implications not so chilling. I fear the answer to Labour's reticence to call a spade a spade lies purely in electoral considerations. While Andy Burnham's second coming has reassured his party that Reform can be beaten back and its electoral appeal blunted, there remains the headache over what to do about the haemorrhaging of votes to the party's Left, specifically to the Greens. Zack Polanski's party has exploited Muslim anger at Israel's response to the Hamas attacks of October 2023 and has effectively painted Labour as a supporter of Israel and as an apologist for events in Gaza. Having already lost four previously safe Labour seats to "Gaza independents" at the 2024 election, and with similarly motivated independents gearing up to fight vulnerable Labour-held seats at the next election, Labour is known to be extremely nervous about further offending or alienating Muslim voters. And while most Muslims reject the tenets of Islamism, hyper-sensitive, politically-correct Labour MPs can't help but notice that "Islamist" looks awfully similar to "Islam". Stupid as that sounds, it might explain the cowardice of so many MPs in refusing to name the real cause of so many terrorist acts in recent years.A DHS official put out a list of the worst activist judges. The media shrieked that he was endangering the lives of judges by naming them. But the media attacks people they don't like all the time. Are they confessing they are putting their enemies' lives in danger -- and either don't care or affirmatively desire that outcome?
A high-ranking Trump Department of Homeland Security official called out the "liberal media" for what he referred to as the "absolute absurdity" of its response to his series criticizing activist judges. James Percival, general counsel for the Department of Homeland Security, posted a series on X last week, "Worst of the Worst, District Judge Edition." In his posts, Percival pointed to the risks that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents face while enforcing the law, saying some judges are working to "sabotage" those operations and put officers "at risk." After his posts, Percival said DHS was contacted by a Chicago Sun-Times reporter about whether "a social media post like this risk[s] additional threats" in the context of "ongoing threats to federal judges." In response, Percival blasted the outlet in an X post in which he told followers, "Witness the absolute absurdity of the liberal media response to my new series, Worst of the Worst, District Judges." Percival emphasized that "legitimate fact based critiques of judges and their rulings is fair game in a free society." He also noted that "the media has no issue with it if the judge is conservative." Notably, conservative judges, including Supreme Court justices Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett, have been the target of intense criticism from the left and, in some cases, violence. In 2022, Kavanaugh was the target of an assassination plot after an armed California man traveled to his home with a pistol, ammunition, zip ties, pepper spray, duct tape and burglary tools. Further, Barrett testified in a recent congressional hearing that she has had to wear a bulletproof vest in response to threats.
The media covered-up Fauci's creation of covid-19.
What is gain-of-function research? Put simply, it includes any efforts by scientists to make a virus or other pathogen more deadly or more transmissable, to better understand ways said virus could mutate to become more dangerous. Doing so, proponents say, helps better inform efforts to develop vaccines and other defenses in the future. But even proponents admit that doing so carries with it serious risks. A virus made more dangerous to study it is still a more dangerous virus; its exposure to humans no less a threat because it was turbocharged for "good" reasons; its likelihood of escaping containment not mitigated by "good" intentions. In May 2025, President Trump decided such research was too risky, pausing it in the U.S., and making funding of foreign gain-of-function research illegal. Such research had previously been paused under President Obama as part of a new risk assessment in 2014 but resumed in 2017. Dr. Fauci has long been a vocal advocate of gain-of-function research, despite these considerable risks. Given short shrift in the melee around the facts (by the media, to be clear, not by Sen. Paul and his team) is that this alleged funding of virus-enhancing research wasn't just given to a lab in any nation, but to one run by the Chinese Communist Party, our chief geopolitical nemesis, and by any accounts a malignant communist regime opposed to truth and transparency of any kind. Why would we trust them with anything, none the less to conduct above-board research into a deadly pathogen, particularly when they had displayed a long history of safety lapses? As I argued on The Hill's Rising podcast with Emily Jashinsky and Ryan Grim back in 2021, Fauci was arguing semantics about what a new rule he himself inserted into funding guidelines said about what constituted gain-of-function research. That sleight-of-hand covered for what was really going on: the U.S. government was sending taxpayer dollars to research, in Wuhan, to make bat-based coronaviruses more transmissible and more deadly. This was happening at a lab doing cutting-edge research on these types of viruses and which had a reputation for flouting biosafety regulations -- a lab just a couple miles from where newly transmissible and deadlier cases of bat-based coronaviruses first appeared. It should be the story of the century. Could America's top doctor have partnered with the Chinese Communist Party to help to unleash a global pandemic that killed millions? Why, ahead of said doctor's public testimony aren't outlets scrambling to understand what happened, given all this directional evidence? I think it's because of the legacy media's love affair with Dr. Fauci as America's supposed COVID-savior. I worry we're already forgetting just how enamored the legacy press -- the institution constitutionally responsible for holding government to account -- was with Dr. Fauci, certainly before but particularly in the early days of COVID. To the press, Fauci was a hero, battling dangerous forces who refused to take COVID as seriously as The Science did. Do you remember how preposterous these headlines were?

On the campaign trail, Democrat candidate James Talarico often describes his faith as "biblical Christianity." But the Senate hopeful once credited Islamic mystics with shaping his faith just as much as Christian writers, audio unearthed by The Daily Wire reveals. In a recent interview with The New York Times, Talarico asserted that his faith was rooted in "biblical Christianity." During an appearance on The State of Belief podcast in April 2024 alongside Muslim state Rep. Salman Bhojani, Talarico praised Islam for shaping his religious beliefs. Those comments could come into play as debate heats up in Texas about Islam's growing presence in the state. "I know personally that I've learned as much about my faith from Salman's tradition, from the Islamic mystics, from poets like Rumi, as much as I have from Christian authors and Christian writers," he said. "This kind of interfaith dialogue, it doesn't water down your tradition, in fact it strengthens it, it brings out new flavors and new colors."Via Hot Air.

The koran tells you to lie and murder as that is justified, which is not a Christian concept. To do this to form their Ummah.
By jihad, by killing of innocents, and by rape. Also not Christian. Abusing children by marrying little girls is also not Christian. Killing anyone who tries to convert to Christianity is, well, not Christian!
Get your facts straight, you dumb turd. We worship the Trinity and are saved by the grace of God in believing He sent His only Son to die for our sins.

Why would we trust them with anything, none the less to conduct above-board research into a deadly pathogen, particularly when they had displayed a long history of safety lapses?

If anyone says that, they should be asked:
- Name a muslim majority country that is not "islamist"
- Name a muslim theology which does not call for conquest and jihad, and sharia
- Name muslim book or leader who speaks out against terrorism, sharia, blasphemy laws, etc.
>> in many cases it is the tyranny and cruelty of Islamism that forced them to seek a new life here in the first place.
If this is true, have they renounced islam? Have they converted? At best, they are afraid to but if that is the case, why do we allow them to drag their terror religion into the West? Either renounce the terror religion, or stay where it rules.
But it is a lie, they do not come to escape islam, but to spread it as their book tells them to. They come to extract their payment from non-believers in the form of benefits. They may not commit direct terrorism themselves, but they embrace islam and the spread of islam. They just want the cowardly route to conquest.

- Buddhism. Life is pain. Life is learning to tolerate pain.
- Manicheanism, where the idea that the fight between good and evil is eternal, with the outcome in doubt.
All of these things are interesting, but mostly in how they connect to Christian teachings. You examine your own and reflect on it, by looking at the others.

I like studying system failures, so I feel compelled to explain a bit --
We, the USA, justified this by claiming that it was necessary to keep one foot in the Chinese labs in order to monitor what they were doing. Kind of like an undercover cop working with a gang to sell drugs. We felt it safer to be involved than to be ignorant and surprised.
But in reality, the scientists -- especially guys like Fauci -- saw it as a grift and the bigger the problem, the bigger the grift. It was not done with evil intent, China did it with evil intent. We did it with corrupt and incompetent intent. Not sure which is worse.

The bureaucracy is pretty close to autonomous and broadly divisible into factions.
Which is why speaking of the US government as a singular entity is incoherent.
Is the US government in favor of or opposed to X? The answer is it is on both sides typically. Which side in the conflict is it financing? Both.
Although in the case of public officials we at least have positions and votes, generally elements of the bureaucracy are unaccountable and have very little monitoring.

Beck has a new video on the threat of Islamists. He says many Saudis don't want to send their kids to England for education, because they fear their kids will be radicalized to the "Islamist Conqueror" side of Islam.
Beck also emphasizes he thinks the Islamist side is not all of Islam, but that much of the Islamist side wants to conquer by infiltration, not terrorism. Seems like a good video, so far. It's at Prageru.com.

This claim has been floated in the media as though it were an intelligence operation, but it doesn't really match the profile of one and there isn't evidence of it. The normal thing is to just co-opt people more directly and not leave the obvious fingerprints of a US grant.
Academics are generally happy to finance unethical experiments and there's a flood of this sort of money into a variety of things. China is pretty well embedded with American academia and also happier to host many of these experiments. Money also flows the other way, from China to US universities.

Not exactly, they paid for the lab, and they ran a lot of experiments. They paid for the trips to collect all the bat viruses, etc. They had a pretty big independent program and we were only involved in a few projects. Yes, Fauci helped them, but I think a bigger problem is all the universities training their virologists -- no one talks about that. They should be trying to figure out how to eat with forks, not building DUV steppers.

Anyway, there was an attack or something a few months after 9/11 when I worked with all the staff there. I can't remember if it was anthrax (we were in FL) or what. I was walking from another building to the ED and he was in the parking lot as well and was on the phone and pale, as it was a bad mark for islam, whatever it was.
On 9/11 I called my husband who was in a big meeting. Said we are at war as I'd just watched the second plane hit the WTC. He told all there and a nice guy he worked with, by all accounts, also muslim, got very pale, too as they turned on a tv.
Some in the Western world may WANT to reform or even convert...but they face death in wanting either. It is that simple. And if married to an American they would fall back on the koran before defending their wife and family.
You are either in or out, and only the very brave get out if they convert to Christianity. There are Christians in hiding in Iran and I pray for them.

3. This is one of many stupid grants the US hands out, also one of many unethical ones

If it were US intelligence I'd be happy to torch them for it too, but if we're trying to cut off US funding to it, Fauci's networks look like a better place to start.
In all likelihood this sort of research will continue in China absent their government deciding to crack down on it. No need for us to finance it though.

Break this down for a moment.
And take this even from a very friendly take on Fauci's COVID policies - they were at best most a failure. The shots didn't stop the spread, they had negative health impacts, and none of the distancing/masking stuff did anything.
Well what should we do with a government official that fails? In the ancient world it would get you literally crucified in the modern world it should at least get you fired.
How is this "attacking democracy"? No one elected Fauci. An actual elected official firing him IS democracy.

I'm not saying the US didn't finance some of it, but this is like blaming the US for Palestinian attacks on Israel. We spend vastly more on that.
While we should try to stop the US government from doing stupid and evil things, which the cutoff of USAID was a great start at, that's not going to stop all the evil in the world. This is not some great dragon to slay that will fix everything but a small part of the problem.

His ego does and it was crushed yesterday on camera. In the news around the world.

The CCP doesn't seem to have cleaned house in a way suggesting the lab had been compromised by US intelligence and they certainly haven't been shy about wiping them out in the past. It also seems apparent there isn't intel generated from this that has been provided to elected officials. That doesn't preclude the possibility that they were involved but it does make it a lot less likely.

Why bother? All the information I am posting is public, it's been available for years. For some reason, our crackerjack media has decided not to report on it.
Obama made a big show of banning gain of function research in the US. But he didn't do dick about Fauci sending grants to the same researchers to do the research overseas including with the CCP.
And that's a big reason the media is trying to cover it up and for years cancel anyone who tried to put out the facts instead of the idiotic wet market bat/pangolin sex party.
It was manmade, it came from the Wuhan lab, and guys like Ralph Baric and Peter Daszak who who got grant from Fauci and the DOD and USAID (CIA) paid for at least some of it.
Perhaps that is one reason they tried to cover it up and still are.

That's basically the plot of "The Long Good Friday" with Bob Hoskins. The IRA descend on London and start committing terror acts, and the police are too incompetent or corrupt to do anything about it, so instead the cops start harassing the local gangsters (Bob).
Out of patience, Bob instead turns his underworld criminal gang into an anti-terror hit squad, eliminating the IRA, who have invaded his turf and unsettled things. Moral: Don't mess with Bob Hoskins. Best line, when Bob s warned that the Italian mafia might get involved: "The Mafia? I shit the Mafia."

I'm indy conservative and classic Republican, not GOP per se. I'm no insider so I can't say. My observations, though, are that Texas continues to be dominant R and moving Righter. Yes, Austin is still coocoo Left, but the big cities are not able to dominate the rest of the populace WRT voting R. The real danger had been Democrats (RINOs) running for state offices as Republicans since Democrats were mostly electorally toxic, but the State has moved further Right ever since Gov Abbott got elected. And with Cornyn getting his ass handed to him by Paxton in the primary - someone who simply dominated the senior US-TX Senate seat for multiple terms - it's total BS that Talarico is in the drivers seat.
I'd say the Texas GOP is pretty strong, probably as strong as it has ever been. But I'm approaching 29, so it's relative.

Trump Activates Never-Before-Used Court To Deport Terrorists
The court had been created in 1996 to quickly deport terrorist-sympathizing aliens. I imagine it was created in response to the first bombing of the World Trade Center by Muslim savages.
But it was just some empty posturing. It was never actually used. But Trump discovered this unused authority hanging around gathering dust it and now he's using it.The Trump administration has activated a previously unused deportation court designed for the removal of "alien terrorists" to remove an Afghan woman who allegedly knew of her son's plans to support the Islamic state. Haji Zada's son and son-in-law previously pleaded guilty to their plans to carry out a terrorist attack on Election Day in 2024, according to Politico. The administration has sought to deport her, alleging that she knew of her family's plans and was responsible for radicalizing them. The United States Alien Terrorist Removal Court held its first hearing in its history on Thursday, under the oversight of Judge Joan Ericksen. The court had never taken a case before Thursday. "Congress created the Alien Terrorist Removal Court three decades ago to remove from the United States alien terrorists who never should have been here in the first place," acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said in a statement. "The allegations in this case show the matriarch of an ISIS-sympathizing family aiding in a plot to launch a mass casualty attack on American voters on Election Day. The Department's application in this court makes clear that terrorists have no place in the United States of America," he added.Related: The Hamas-supporting, Muslim-funded fake "Jewish" organization J Street is protesting the injustice of deporting a terrorism-supporting "student" who repeatedly lied in his green card application, which by the way is against the law and voids the green card, because otherwise, why even have an application process? Why bother asking questions if the applicant is allowed to lie? It's very important to this fake "Jewish" organization to keep Muslim terrorists here in the US where they can do the most damage against The Great Satan.
This letter is demented for obvious reasons; J Street doesn't speak for the Jewish community or faith. But it also skips the fact that the Torah has expectations of "strangers." One of them is respecting the host's laws and society. Mahdawi wants to destroy our society. https://t.co/9kx1SeMXkf

Had two carpet cleaner guys here for stairwells this morning (the rest of the house is hardwood or tile). They were Americans. In and out in less than an hour. Some sort of ionized water vs soap. Dunno.
We have had far less apparent illegals in the last year doing repairs. Even when the sink drain screwed up basement walls last May, they were all Americans with plumbing, sheetrock, and painters. I know because I asked as I am a ghost with strange men in the house.
In the past I did like two guys who put in the tile bathrooms, but they also brought us fresh eggs from their farm, so hard to ignore.
I do badly want to report a rental house of roofers but they are quiet and I hope move on to Tijuana someday. A few houses down from us. No barking dogs.

In my state the head of Children's Services got in trouble for losing too many kids and got fired. So a couple of things I took from this:
1) There is apparently an acceptable number of kids for DCF to lose - and I don't mean kids that died with a bad foster parent or something - kids they can't find
2) The punishment for this is...losing your job? That's it? Hell if I lose *data sets* from my job I'd get sued/prosecuted by my company

Fen, a little less than a year ago I was watching one of those lefty podcasts , and they were starting to round up possible 2028 candidates. This was when newsom's monumental failings were already known. The french laundry lies, his train to nowhere disaster, his sleazy behavior. When they came to newsom , their eyes literally lit up. He's a governor! He's from california! He's a democrat!
I was actually surprised. I thought they would have at least mentioned his issues , but it seemed like they didn't know anything about him.

AI:
Camp Agnos was a highly visible homeless encampment in San Francisco’s Civic Center Plaza during the late 1980s and early 1990s, named after then-Mayor Art Agnos. The camp emerged after the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake displaced hundreds of homeless residents from single-room occupancy (SRO) hotels, which were deemed ineligible for federal disaster aid.
While Agnos initially refused to use police to forcibly remove the campers, arguing that alternative housing had not yet been secured, the encampment grew into a political liability. Critics derided the site as an "eyesore" and a symbol of civic ineffectiveness, with some residents and activists using it to pressure the city for better services. By July 1990, after two new multi-service shelter centers were opened, Agnos ordered police to dismantle the structures and evict the remaining residents.

"property is theft" means the world is a zero sum game, and to get more than what you have means forcing it away from someone else. In the past there was proof that was not true because young families could get a house on a single, non-professional income, and have money for a car and sometimes steaks for dinner if they scrimped.
Nowadays young families both work and get told they have to work harder because they are lazy and entitled and even if they are allowed to work more than 35 hours a week because of mandatory benefits requirements, they still can't afford that even if they work 70 hours a week like they are working for Foxconn. So there is no reason to not try socialism.
Posted by: Kindltot at July 30, 2026 04:49 PM (rbvCR)
The simplest way to defang the socialist retrogression would be for red states to legislatively ban any housing, construction, or zoning regulation newer than [1950] -- pick a year of your choice -- so that new homes could be built that cheaply again.

It would help part of the problem. There's basically three different major issues, lack of inventory (your idea would help with that one), lack of desirable inventory (there's enough and it's affordable, but for some reason or another--often location--it's not worth the prices, and lack of affordable inventory (lots of housing, including in good locations, but the folks who need it can't afford it).
Lots of moving parts. Not saying your plan shouldn't be implemented, just noting more will be required.

Our sons and DIL's are conservative Christians. We did our best and are proud of them all.
The ONE thing younger son and I don't agree on is that certain places of world travel are dangerous. He travels a lot in the USA and internationally. He thinks it's still fine and overblown.
I don't think so, son. I hope he's paying attention to this today.
Granted, on cruises, etc, they are in upscale places. But the danger is there simmering with the illegals and I can't convince him otherwise.
I'll grant that there could be danger anywhere and if it's your time, etc. However, I don't want his wife or children involved if crap hits the fan and they are out of the country. They are all beautiful people, especially our grands, and I am not biased.
I pray a lot anyway, but when they are out of the country I pray extra. He and wife have already been to Madrid and Barcelona, so maybe Spain is not on the horizon.

The images coming from Ceuta are striking and demonstrate, once again, that uncontrolled illegal immigration poses a concrete threat to the security of Europe's borders.
I have spoken with Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi. Italy will not stand by and watch. We are convening the relevant bodies, and following these meetings, we are prepared to intervene with extraordinary measures to defend the borders and the safety of citizens, including the suspension of the Schengen Area with Spain.
On illegal immigration, we will not yield an inch: defending the borders, stopping human traffickers, and ensuring effective repatriations will continue to be the line of this Government."

That means you have to have 12" of blown in blanket, or close to that in foam for the ceiling.

The savings? Over the life of the house (even of my life) is huge. Yuuuge...
But that requires the roof trusses have 12" boards, or be strong enough (or close enough) to wear that extra weight. Significant cost. More than 1% just on the roof.

Cueta, and the surrounding area is a "territory" of Spain. It's on the African coast, not actually in Spain. Europe. Whatever.

One Third of All Democrats Now Identify As Socialists, While Only 39% of Country Would Consider Voting for a Socialist
According to a new Washington-Post Ipsos poll, socialism is unpopular, outside of the communist "Democrat Party" itself.
Far-left CNN reports that "about a third of Democrats and Democratic-leaning adults identify as democratic socialists," per the latest polling. This is a big problem for an increasingly radicalized Democrat Party that continues to move further and further to the left and far out of mainstream thinking on issues like abolishing prisons, abolishing the U.S. Senate, sexualizing and queering little kids, defunding the police, open borders, socialized medicine, annihilating Israel, and outright property confiscation. The polling shows that 59 percent of these socialists are under age 45 and -- surprise, surprise -- predominantly white (57 percent). They are also less likely to have a college degree or make over $100,000 per year. What should truly trouble the Democrat Party is how motivated these loons are to vote -- 66 percent are "extremely motivated to vote this year," compared to just 57 percent of non-socialist Democrats. When these extremists win primaries, especially in purple states, that gives Republicans a real chance to prevail.
A Washington Post-Ipsos poll shows 3 in 4 Democrats support a democratic socialist for president, but less than half of Americans agree. The Democratic Socialists of America has grown, yet Americans remain divided on its meaning. Age and education influence support, with younger, educated individuals more open to democratic socialist candidates.
... Three in 4 Democrats say they would be open to supporting a democratic socialist for president, but less than half of all Americans say they would vote for such a candidate, according to a Washington Post-Ipsos poll. ...
Republicans and right-wing influencers are increasingly invoking "communism," often to criticize democratic socialists and the Democratic Party broadly, according to a Washington Post analysis. Americans split on this comparison in the Post-Ipsos poll, with 30 percent saying democratic socialism is similar to communism while 32 percent say it is different and 36 percent saying they are not sure. Democratic socialism has clearly caught on with many Democrats, fueling questions about how that energy will affect upcoming elections, including the 2028 presidential race. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York), a DSA member, is viewed as a potential presidential candidate. The Post-Ipsos poll indicates that 55 percent of Americans would not consider voting for a democratic socialist for president, while 39 percent would consider supporting one and 6 percent having no opinion. A majority of self-described independents, 54 percent, would also rule out a democratic socialist candidate. A much smaller segment of Americans -- 15 percent -- say they like leaders who identify as democratic socialists, compared with 36 percent who dislike them and nearly half saying they neither like nor dislike democratic socialists, the poll shows. About one-third of Democrats say they like democratic socialist candidates and 10 percent dislike them, but most have neither positive nor negative views of them. Republicans are more negative, with 7 in 10 disliking democratic socialists.

He totally thought things should be divided equally, and to hell with degrees! Not fair tantrums of a degree got a job over him! Totally not understanding that he was also a strange dude who gave me the creeps.
He should be a manager, too! His goal in life!!! He was once manager of a GrubHub call center in Chicago and reached his dream. Therefore, once he lost that job, it was manager or no job. He chose no job for years and this is how he collected unemployment: he would go for jobs he was not qualified for but met their quota.
When my MIL died I am pretty sure some felt that those of us who did a bit better in career and life choices should not get our fair share. They vote Dim. This is bs! We got our fair share and they can gnash their teeth and eat worms.

Seriously. What I really am is anti-Republican. I figured out at 8 sitting in church these mother fuckers did not need to be anywhere near power, and it's democrats I gotta vote for to keep them out. The problem with Democrats is most of them are cowards and some of them are Republicans.
I wonder if every time a good idea comes up, republicans scream “That is socialism!” They are making socialism sound awesome.
Good. I have thought since the 90s that if the left wanted power all they had to do was take over the Democratic Party.
Eugene Debbs crawled so Bernie Sanders could walk, so the latest crop of democratic socialists can run. Let's hope for the presidency so that we can finally change things around here.
I just want hospitals to work like libraries. My taxes fund them and then anyone can just go in and use it whenever they need to.

Most of the leftwing posters called this a strawman with no explanation but one poster did answer.
You see you can't have socialism if the socialists don't control all the means of production. So if even if few million people pooled their wealth it wouldn't count because some guy had his own machine tools company and some other guy had his own farmstand and so on.
Which is...mighty convenient.
And I'll offer an exact capitalist contrast - under Mao's pure socialism people in China starved. Deng enacted some modest market reforms and China's wealth and living standards have exploded.

I had the best time watching their meetings. They did not want a democratic set up or officers and Roberts Rules of order. Or one person in charge. It evolved into chaos and I was laughing hysterically.
Mostly because it was free mic for people wanting to be something or have something to say. The closed captioning malfunctioned and I nearly died. One lady, and it was sad, was discussing her native American sister who died and closed captioning mentioned "My Little Pony" and I was undone.
Then a drunk/stoned man wandered in for the mic and sang. My husband finally asked his wth are you doing as I was making a lot of noises.

You'd think he have learned by now that not all Republicans are Christians, not all Christians are Republicans, and not all Christian Republicans are really Christian or Republican.
Meanwhile, 99% of Democrats are anti-authority Cultists who worship at the altar of Totalitarianism, Supremacy, Arrogance, Selfishness, and Avoidance of Responsibility.

To shut them up on socialism it would make taxes worthwhile! Well, once we deport the illegals and keep the socialist nitwits locked up.
In other words, the mental hospitals of the 1970's but with a new socialist name? They could all be happy again and off the streets with the hobos! But more like a prison with wardens to keep them there. No needles, sorry, allowed.
And for heaven's sake don't ask for them to work! This also disrupted a commune... as the work was divided and no one wanted latrine duty. It fell to one hippie guy who griped that the rest all signed up for arts and crafts with children. [I could be mixing this up with another university land take over in California by some stinky hippies and not CHOP/CHAZ]

I watched a black woman try to change a tire on her Nissan not long ago in the parking lot of the grocery store, before I helped her. This particular educated black woman didn't understand that a jack was needed and was trying to pull off the wheel while the car was sitting on the ground. I watched for a little while until she started pounding on the tire with the tire iron.
Don't get me wrong. I think there are plenty of white women out there who'd do something similar.
But, here's the kicker. All the while I'm putting on the spare (one of those little doughnut wheels), this bitch was acting like a jackass exclaiming "I'm not gonna pay you. I'm not gonna pay you." I just said "you're welcome" and walked away. She'd make a good Air Traffic Controller or maybe am Astrophysicist. Don't you think?

I lived in Denmark for a couple of years at the turn of the Millenium. My library card actually functioned as my health care insurance card as well. Maybe that's where this dude got the library/hospital comparison.
And for what it's worth, the Danish socialist health care was actually pretty good. My son was born in Denmark and it went fine. And my daughter received good care for childhood epilepsy. So maybe socialist healthcare worked, at least for Denmark, and at that point in time. Denmark (at that time) was rich, homogeneous, and very culturally conforming. No one would even consider fraud or gaming the system. Don't know how it is now.
From Denmark, we moved to the UK. What a nightmare health care system. NHS the envy of the world? Yeah, right. It's the worst aspects of capitalism and socialism, administered by bureaucrat doctors who make Fauchi look like an unmercenary healer. If ever we, God forbid, go down the socialist healthcare road, it would probably be worse than the UK. My two cents.

She is confusing facts, whether deliberately or not.
Black women are indeed the most educated black people. Black women with college degrees greatly outnumber black men with degrees. That might not be saying much, but it's true.
This is a big reason why educated black women have been increasingly dating white guys. The "pool" of available educated black men is relatively small, and a significant percentage of them want white women.
Now, the worth of these college degrees, and whether that makes anyone smarter or dumber is a different issue.

Wow, it's a real thing? Heard a few girls use that term a few months ago. Thought it was just a word they made up. Guess not.
As they explained it, "cootermaxxing" is basically soft-porn clickbait for supposedly seriously female "influences" to drum up male viewers.
The concept is old as influencers themselves. It's like when the cooking show girl shows you how to make pasta ... in a very revealing top that she constantly bends over to show off.

Oh, they'll do much more than that. Take a quick look back to the 70's. There will actual Communist Hit Squads with all kinds of creative names such as 17 November or N17. They assasinated US diplomats, banking officials etc. That particular one was based in Greece. But, as the violence escalates (and it already is with cover from the press)...these groups will pop up domestically to influence what needs influencing. We've seen how willing certain Legislators and local governments are to accommodate this behavior, and let it shape policy..

Because the colleges and universities have been over-producing huge numbers of underemployed and under-performing, over-educated nominally intelligent graduates who get more resentful every year that they see society not valuing them commensurate with their degrees.
Socialism comforts them with soothing lies that society and capitalism are to blame and giving massive power to the government will fix that.

What a beetch. I would have bought you groceries for doing it and a supermodel kiss on top of your head.
My father showed me stuff on car repair and changing a tire. I nodded a lot (altho at the time I did sort of understand the under the hood stuff and how to check my oil).
However, I knew darn well I would not jack up a car or be able to change a tire. I suppose I could in the desert and dying, but it would have taken a long, long time. As well, the idea of a jack and car falling terrifies me.
I figured someone would help me and fortunately never had a flat. We know it would have been a serial killer.

I'm betting the curriculum on the actual horrors of 20th century communism are pretty thin, if at all.
We covered it some when I was in school, but even then (80s & 90s) it was a gloss over while the entire communist world was falling apart.
A good portion of the population has learned what they know of the actual history of communism on their own research & observation.

Most of our black people in my family's county are kind. Two years ago we stopped at a Walmart en route to the farm to get groceries. We were the only white peoples in that store. To a person they were polite and seemed kind.
It was Valentine's night and a white dude about 30yrs younger than me tried to hit on me while I carried a potted hydrangea for my mother (because grandson insisted we buy her flowers). He was all flirty that they smelled good (they don't smell) and walked next to me until my dude appeared. I ignored him.
Our son laughed and said that I get hit on more than DIL, and my dude said, "Well, she attracts crazy people like a magnet."

Michigan is a state that allows people to vote in the National election who have never lived in Michigan. Michigan tries to imply that these are all prodigy of military personnel who reached the eligible age to vote while living overseas. HOWEVER, think about something. The way the law reads is that if the last residence of a US citizen was in Michigan, than the son(s) or daugher(s) or spouse of that individual can register and vote in Michigan. So, how many Muslims gaining citizenship in the US, and lived in Michigan returned to where ever they came from and then listed a number of over 18 children (or a spouse) who then registered in voted in Michigan? No one knows. How many of these 18 year olds actually exist? No one knows. And you can bet the vetting process isn't exactly stellar.

"property is theft" means the world is a zero sum game, and to get more than what you have means forcing it away from someone else. In the past there was proof that was not true because young families could get a house on a single, non-professional income, and have money for a car and sometimes steaks for dinner if they scrimped.
Nowadays young families both work and get told they have to work harder because they are lazy and entitled and even if they are allowed to work more than 35 hours a week because of mandatory benefits requirements, they still can't afford that even if they work 70 hours a week like they are working for Foxconn. So there is no reason to not try socialism.

Ukraine Drones Reach All the Way to the Caspian Sea to Destroy Two Sanctioned Russian Ships Delivering Iranian Military Equipment to Russia
There's a lot of whining from the Russians and Iranians and the hard left, but the rules are clear, ships transporting arms and military gear are fair targets in war.
And Russia is meanwhile sinking Ukranian ships delivering grain to foreign buyers. So, fair is fair.Ukraine struck an Iranian cargo vessel in the Caspian Sea, claiming it was transporting drone and missile components to Russia, marking the first direct military link between the wars in Ukraine and Iran.Well... it is also reported that Russia is providing Iran with the targeting data it uses to hit our bases with missiles, including the deadly attack on a base in Jordan a couple of weeks ago.
Iran vowed retaliation, accusing Kyiv of violating international law, while Ukraine defended the strike as part of its campaign to disrupt Russia's military supply chains and its partnership with Tehran. The attack carries broader geopolitical implications, potentially deepening coordination between Russia and Iran while signaling closer strategic alignment between Ukraine and the U.S. amid the expanding regional conflict. ... While details of the July 25 incident are murky, Ukraine's intelligence agency the SBU said its drones hit an oil platform in the Caspian Sea along with a Russian missile boat and "cargo ships that are under international sanctions." President Volodymyr Zelensky on Saturday announced that Ukrainian forces had achieved "very good results" in long-range strikes in the Caspian Sea, including against vessels used to transport military cargo linked to Iran.
Ukraine says it has struck several vessels in the Caspian Sea used to transport Russian military cargo to Iran. Reports suggest the cargo ships Port Olya 2 and Begey were hit. Meanwhile, Iranian regime-affiliated channels are threatening ballistic missile strikes on Ukraine. pic.twitter.com/OBFk2SdH3H

Hasan thinks that the only reason Ukraine hit an Iranian ship was because Zelenskyy is nothing but a puppet being controlled by America and Israel.
— usurp tha chef (@usurpthachef) July 30, 2026
Or maybe they attacked the Iranian ship because Iran has been assisting Russia murder Ukrainians????

While Russians are crying over Wildberries crap their drones are hunting grain ships in the Black Sea. pic.twitter.com/5kZ1t8nokB
As you probably know, Ukraine has been sinking Russian military and sanctioned cargo ships throughout the Black Sea, despite having no navy. They use drones, both flying and water-borne. They're intensifying the war against the Russian economy and military supply lines, blowing up oil refineries so that oil-rich Russia actually has a fuel crisis. And they're also hitting the factories of Russia's mega-store Wildberries, called Russia's Amazon. Wildberries itself might go bankrupt from having $4 billion of the stock stored at its warehouses destroyed. The company itself is worth only $9 billion. Russian banks are limiting customers from withdrawing their money and oligarchs are warning that a bank crisis is coming. A Wildberries bankruptcy might collapse the whole system.
The war has reached Moscow. 🏙️🔥

then again things are rolling since we have competent (mostly) leadership in the US military. that could change (but let's hope not!)

On paper there's not much stopping Russia militarily from taking out power plants although Ukraine might be able to do some damage in parallel.
Things are heating up, at least in how broadly both sides are striking, but I'm not seeing much evidence of either materially strengthening their position.

1. And peace deal eventually reached between Russia and Ukraine will require the return of those funds by the UK and the EU. They want to spend them to make a peace deal very difficult to achieve.
2. UK is NATO sovereign soil. If Russia (or someone pretending to be Russian) blows up that factory, that triggers emergency consultations under Article 4 and risk the invocation of Article 5 collective defense, massive economic sanctions, and potential direct military retaliation. Ukraine has captured and shot down Russian drones. They could easily set up a ruse to force NATO into military action...(which means the US)...That has been Zelenskyy's and the EU's and UK's goal all along.
These are NOT out allies.

I note the bridge is on fire on that ship and now understand why. I did not pay much attention (what is new?) til I watched our Navy/Marines talking to ships in the Strait recently and firing on that part of the ship as well.
It was a pretty good series til the last one, and we watched them all and had our favorite actors.

Also, based on Iran we need a new ROE that has us bombing every bit of energy and infrastructure of our enemies without worrying about helping them afterwards.

Is there a need to manipulate language like this? Previously neither side was really attacking civilian or economic infrastructure. Ukraine expanding the conflict to include it, Russia matched.
They are both no longer attempting to secure victory primarily on the battlefield. It is unclear whether this really favors Ukraine, despite reporting treating it as a foregone conclusion.

so far, where the rubber hits the road the Russians continue a methodical advance in the Donbass. A week or so ago about 15000 Ukr troops were pocketed, though I did not see if any got out. Ukr's ability to stop the advances is pretty limited. Russia is limited by the ability of drones to contest resupply and quick movement of troops for reinforcement or breakouts with the limited crappy roads in Ukraine, especially after all the years of war.
That CIA stat about 30 minutes is laughable, however. They've been trying to sell the human wave stuff since 2022.

I always assumed the war would end with the no provinces that voted to separate from Ukraine doing so with the status of the rest of the East in question.
Remember in the last mostly free and fair election they had the East voted for the candidate that wanted closer ties with Russia and the west the candidate that wanted closer ties with the EU

Again, the entire power infrastructure is within range. There aren't magical shields or something protecting them. Both sides from time to time have accused each other of endangering one power plant or another, but neither have launched serious attacks on them, even to this point.
Further escalation might see them actually start taking out power plants.
Russia has plenty of room to escalate, nor will moralizing at them prevent them from doing so. Changing this war from a grinding one of miltiary attrition to one of pressuring civilians may be a dangerous game of chicken where both sides start doing serious infrastructure damage.

And that was about the last escalation in the air war, because it was just us terrorizing German civilians after that. They couldn't do much beyond desperately fight for their own skies at that point.

So for Ukraine, they have less room to escalate than Russia, so fighting this by attrition has made sense, they remain outnumbered and outgunned.
For Russia, they believe they are taking out NATO equipment for cheap, which is also correct. NATO equipment in the hands of NATO troops, aka US troops, would be much harder to destroy.
The west regards it as a win that they should keep fighting.
There is no clear alternate path to victory so that's been the status quo.

The Germans threw everything they had at London and the RAF, but they didn't have what we had later in the war. If they had had that, London would have been a smoking crater. I don't count it as an escalation when you are simply better at it than the guys who started it.

Earlier in the war both sides had a tacit agreement to restrict the front to the south and south east to around Kharkov area - presumably because neither side could not man the full front. A few times over the years Ukraine has raided, or invaded in these zones and now the front has extended to close to the Belarus border, giving Ukraine that much more ground to cover. Limited wars do tend to grow, but given the limited manpower of Ukraine I think the result was not justified by the positive press and the eventual losses when Russia ejected them from Russia proper.

I see a video put out by the Ukes that purported to be one of their drones using WP to burn a group of Russian troops hiding in a line of trees.
Now, it looked fake to me, the tree line was way too thin - like what you would pick if you wanted to test a new fire based weapon not where you would hide as a grunt and there was no return fire.
But...that reminded me that the left spent years trying to get American soldiers put on trial for using WP as a smoke screen which is "legal" versus using as a direct weapon which is apparently "a war crime"

Earlier in the war Russia bought suicide drones, and the plans to them from Iran by license. They set up their own factories and have been building and using them for years. They might well be buying drones still, but I would think Iran would be saving them for their own use these days.

After the initial push and retreat. Russia has since postured at expanding the front through Belarus but not done so.
At any rate the military situation remains largely a stalemate. Making this about who can inflict and endure more civilian suffering is risky but will speed things up. If it gets all the way to power plants we're going to have millions of refugees in Europe, again.

It's true. The golden age was 15-20 years ago, when all of the movies showed up on either Netflix or Amazon. TBH, I'm not sure who, if anyone, is making a quality product. I'm tired of scrolling NF, AP, and HBO Max, and finding nothing worth watching. WHERE IS THE GOOD STUFF?!

Apple TV does have 'free movies' in the movies section.
Some are their own original productions (like 'F1' with Brad Pitt) and the rest are licensed. You just have to scroll down and find them in the categories section. The free movies don't have the shopping bag icon for rent/buy
They have nowhere near the selection of Netflix or Amazon, there might be a few hundred on there at most.

The Donbass and the 4 Regions are not only mostly under Russian control, Russia actually formally incorporated them into the country, and now occupy about 90 percent of them physically. The areas near Kharkov and Kursk are also being hinted at being kept.
I can't see Russia allowing Odessa to become a NATO base at all, so either that goes to them or some sort of open city stuff would have be done.

But Russia -- when actually viewed through a lens of "Can we get along with these people" or "Do they have a bona fide grudge?" -- is a reasonable entity.
The Ukraine mess is all their fault. Unless you take into account NATO expansion that eliminated their buffer zone, or Obama's interventions and secret labs and government overthrows, or Kiev's bombing the shit out of the very region ten years ago that they now claim to be vewwy, vewwy sowwy to be losing...

While there is a blockade the US has otherwise avoided targeting much of Iran's civilian economy directly. Iran has little capability to respond if we should do so and such options are being considered, but there are humanitarian concerns.
Ultimately a long enough blockade would still create a crisis though.

There is a theory that had Luftwaffe General Walter Wever not been killed in a crash in 1936, the Nazis would have won the war. He favored building "Urals bombers" which would have had the wherewithal to blast London et al. to say nothing of interfering or preventing the Soviet relocation of factories beyond the Urals. His replacement favored number of bombers over quality. P.S. The crash that killed him was caused by failure to remove the aileron gust locks prior to attempting to take off. For want of a nail . . .

In WWII we sent thousand bomber raids on the regular on factories, cities and German war production increased anyway until late 1944 when we could use tactical aircraft on rail systems. I see most of the 'logistic hits' and even Russia's missile attacks as stunts, which affect the battlefield only minimally. Drones for both sides just cripples the movement of forces - no columns of trucks on the roads, no huge open depots, people have to scamper from place to place before drones can react and find air cover in wooded areas or towns. Russian advances tend to be that way, troops rush to a new town or woodlot, dig in, then just expand this finger out with time. You do that in another place, and eventually engulf anyone in between. Ukraine's offensive punch seems about nil.
Posted by: Oldcat at July 30, 2026 03:38 PM (uhVAy)
Interesting. I've also read that Hitler didn't want a large bomber initially because he didn't think he'd need it and didn't want to admit to the German people that he might. Sort of like him refusing to equip the Wehrmacht with winter clothing.

At this point, I think the cognitive dissonance has driven the American left literally insane, to the point they're immune to it. They can just go ahead and believe opposite things now.
I used to think that the internal contradictions in their beliefs would eventually get to them. Russia is geopolitically aligned with all of their other fetish states; it's only the Obama gang's "Russian collusion" conspiracy lies on Hillary's behalf that put them on Ukraine's side in the first place, cemented then by their own TDS and Trump's contempt for the Biden clan's corruption.
This conflict between their Ukraine fetish and their Iran fetish was always inevitable. But I no longer believe that it will wake them up; I think they'll just marinate in their insanity, like a baby with a full diaper and an addict mom.

Large bombers are very expensive. Just heard in an audio book that in 1942 Bomber command was using 42 percent of UK military expenditures for about no result at all and high losses.
In Germany, the strategic Airforce and Navy had to tussle with the Army and tactical air for resources, which they always would lose because that's what you need to overrun Europe.

Thousands of Africans Flood Past Weak Fencing to Enter Spanish City of Ceuta, Saying "Goodbye Morocco, Hello Spain;"
The Socialist, Open Borders Government Refuses to Halt the Mass Illegal Migration
The Democrats have a plan for America. This is that plan.
I think this town is on the African side of Gibraltar.
Hundreds of migrants swim to Spain's Ceuta territory from Morocco Ceuta (Spain) (AFP) -- Hundreds of migrants entered the Spanish north African exclave of Ceuta on Thursday, AFP reporters saw, many of them having swum by sea around the frontier fence. Migration from Morocco into Spain's two north African territories, Ceuta and Melilla, has long been a politically sensitive issue between the two countries, as thousands cross the border at times. AFP reporters saw a stream of adults and children, most of them wet, entering the town. Discarded flotation rings and clothes had been left on the shore near where the frontier barrier meets the sea. The president of Ceuta, Juan Vivas, said Wednesday that 1,500 migrants had come to Ceuta by sea in the past few days. "We are in a situation of total humanitarian and social emergency," he said in comments broadcast Thursday by Spanish television. Earlier, he had said that the reception centres were saturated as the number of people entering was more than 200 a day. "There is no more room for anyone," he said. Officials could not immediately be reached on Thursday to give more recent figures.
Gathering in Morocco Migrants walked cheerfully through the streets of Ceuta, thanking the Spanish police and calling out: "Bye bye, Morocco, hello Spain." Police and Civil Guards in Ceuta appeared to do little to intervene, though some officers attempted to direct the arrivals to the local migrant reception centre. ... On the Moroccan side of the border, an AFP reporter on Thursday afternoon saw hundreds of people including children gathered near the border between Ceuta and the local town of Fnideq, waiting to cross into the Spanish territory. ... Sanchez's right-wing political rivals immediately pressured him on Thursday over the migrant arrivals. "The government cannot look the other way regarding its duties because we are facing a national security crisis," said opposition Popular Party leader Alberto Nunez Feijoo on X. Far-right Vox party leader Santiago Abascal on X blamed Sanchez personally for the migrant influx in Ceuta. Ceuta and Melilla have Europe's only two land borders with Africa.
Fox News
@FoxNews Thousands of migrants from Morocco poured over the country's border with Spain and into the country's African enclave of Ceuta after swimming around border barriers to reach the territory. The latest wave comes after more than 1,500 migrants arrived in Ceuta by sea over the past week, according to regional authorities. Ceuta's leader is now urging Spain's national government to declare an emergency as the enclave faces another major surge at the European Union's only land border with Africa. This border breach comes at the same time as President Trump sounds the alarm about the rising number of migrants coming from Africa and other parts of the world who he says are "invading" European countries.

BREAKING: 🇪🇸 An "absolute migratory emergency" has been declared in Spain's enclave of Ceuta after a massive surge of illegal migrants. Hundreds of Moroccan and Algerian migrants who flooded the Spanish enclave yesterday breached the border fence today without control. In recent days, more than 1,500 migrants, including adults and minors, reached Ceuta by sea, swimming from Morocco and overwhelming border security. Today they completely overwhelmed local forces, leaving reception and juvenile centers fully saturated. With resources exhausted, Ceuta's government demanded that Spain declare a national emergency and send the military to suppress the crisis.
Holy. Shit.

The Ceuta invasion is being coordinated by Facebook groups. @finkd
The flagship group description: "Ceuta by every route #hraga_ceuta -- Migration is an idea, and the idea does not die." There are countless posts soliciting people to go with others. This is in clear violation of the Facebook ToS that prohibits content "offers to provide or facilitate human smuggling" or content that asks for "asks for human smuggling services."

Spain has been over-run with Moroccans going back even before the mass invasion into Europe. Hell, the Spanish had problems with these people going back centuries.
They claim there are now 1.5 million Moroccans in Spain. You can triple that number and you'll still be well below the real number.

"Ceuta and its larger sister city Melilla, situated some 400km further south along the coast, trace their Spanish past to the 15th Century.
Coveted by Morocco, they have long been a flashpoint in diplomatic relations with Spain. Madrid asserts that both territories are integral parts of Spain and have the same status as the semi-autonomous regions on its mainland.
Historically, both port cities developed as military and trade centres linking Africa to Europe. Since 1995, they have enjoyed a limited degree of self-government as Autonomous Communities.
Unemployment among the native workforce is more than 30%, among the highest rates in Spain. The cities are a magnet for thousands of traders and menial workers who cross the border from Morocco each day to earn a living."

According to Google Maps, there's a ferry line between Ceuta on the Moroccan side of the Straits and Algeciras on the Spanish side.
My guess is once the invading horde is in Ceuta, they don't have to worry about customs/immigration to cross the Straits.
There are also ferries from Tangier, but those must be more tightly controlled.

But Spain has (I think two, but maybe just one) enclaves of Spanish territory on the African continent. So it is a Spanish town, South of the strait.
Border control has been a problem for them for a long time. They need a machine gun. And they would not have to kill a lot -- kill a few and they get the message.

The commie media reports these events as if they're organic movements of people, but of course they're not. They're well-funded, well-organized, and crawling with human traffickers.
Just like DataRepublican points out above that this invasion of Cueta was planned and organized.
I suspect these initial waves are all younger men because it's a test wave. If the test waves are successful -- and they will be -- then the later waves will have many more women and kids. Same thing happened with the Mexican caravans, IIRC.
Again, this is all planned and organized.

The linked articles are somewhat misleading or confusing.
These invaders didn't swim from Morocco to Spain. Ceuta isn't in mainland Spain or Europe. Ceuta is in North Africa. It's a Spanish territory/city that it's on the very north coast of Morocco. You can walk from Morocco to Ceuta.
The problem is there's a fence around Ceuta that extends about 50 feet into the ocean. These invaders swam around the fence. I wouldn't even say "swim." They basically walked 50 feet out into the ocean and around the fence.

>>I still think your experience is awesome and I love that for you.
Unless you invent something or inherit money, the stock market is the best wealth generator ever invented.
And tech stocks have been some of the best wealth generators.
Even though I loath Msft, they have been my main wealth generator throughout it's history.
If you bought 50k of msft in 2012 or thereabouts, you'd have a million dollars today.
If you bought 1k of KO DRIP in 1988 and bought 50 dollars a week and continue for 38 years, you would have over 600k on a passive outlay of 100k.
And that's just two mechanisms.
You don't really need a lot of money but you do need time and perseverance.

Spain is much better for poor migrants. Much more generous welfare and subsidies.
But the real incentive is that, as I understand it, if you can get to Spain you're in the EU, and then can legally go anywhere.
These invaders aren't in "Spain." They're in a Spanish city/territory in Morocco. I'm not sure what that means in terms of them being able to legally go to Spain itself.
But legal or not, who is gonna stop them?

The league is still a laughing stock. It has had a slight bump in attention but it squashed the attempts to monetize and get more attention off Sophie pointing. I'm not seeing where the "op" is.
If the point is to generate headlines I guess it's working sort of? But it's becoming more of a joke not less. An op generally needs to have an endgame, something you want people to learn or accept or do.

BUT, if you research based on specific crimes in Spain, every single crime is increasing rapidly in the last decade. And yet, they still proclaim their overall crime to be stable. Violent crimes, they say, remain steady at 5%. But, if you look specifically at robber, rape, murder and assault. Each of those categories has increased significantly.
This is the norm in every one of these European countries getting deluged by foreigners. They are misrepresenting their crime statistics purposefully, while their media allows it to stand.

It is important to note that Spain and their socialist PM enacted an unprecedented plan earlier this year to give legal status to hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants.
Incentives matter.

Superfan Of Serial Killers Ends Up Being Serial Killer
The surprising-not-surprising part, meanwhile, is that, per The Independent, Desborough was "a fan of TV serial killer Dexter;" he reportedly told an investigator that he "particularly enjoyed the dismemberment scenes" in the television show.

For my money, a good disembowelment beats a good dismemberment. Your mileage may vary.

Odd scene in the movie that undermines Leo's status, IMO. The humpback was clearly not Spartan material, but all Leo had to do was give him some ceremonial position in the army and that would have been enough. Instead, Leo tells him to fuck off. He musta known that was risky. But he did it anyway, and it ended up killing all his men. Dumb.

This is the egregiousness of "globalism" in a nutshell. You build a society that is productive and safe, while your neighbor builds a society based on graft, corruption, nepotism and the illogical. That neighbor shows up at your door and demands to be let in because their place is a mess and they are disinclined to fix it or are incapable of doing so. The latter is more likely as they bring that graft, crime, corruption etc. with them to your place and start dismantling everything you have accomplished while simutaneously claiming ownership.

The Gay Communists of the WNBA Micro-Fandom Harass, Threaten Two Teenage Girls for Supporting Sophie Cunningham and All-Female Sports
Just disgraceful. They're animals.
WNBA Team Co-Owner Fined, Suspended for Harassing Teen Fans over Opposition to Men in Women's Sports
The Seattle Storm apologized after the team's co-owner Celeste Keaton harassed two teenage fans during a home game over their opposition to trans-identifying males participating in women's sports. Keaton was fined by the WNBA and suspended from the Storm's next five home games for berating two teenage girls at Tuesday's game against the Indiana Fever. The girls were wearing "XX XY Athletics" shirts and holding signs expressing support for Sophie Cunningham, a Fever guard who has spoken out in support of fairness in women's and girls' sports. "We apologize that this happened," the Seattle Storm said in a statement. "Everyone who attends a Storm game deserves to feel welcome, and we remain committed to creating an inclusive environment where every fan is treated with respect." The girls' signs read, "Thank you, Sophie #8, for speaking up for girls!" "Bravo to those girls for standing up for what they believe," Cunningham posted on X. "You'll be hearing from me soon." In an interview after the game, the teenage girls told podcaster Brandi Kruse that Keaton swore at them until one of them broke down in tears. "This older lady comes up to us and she asks, 'What are you guys doing?'" one of the girls told Kruse. "And she's like, 'Oh I hope Jesus can forgive you for what sin you've done.'" Then the woman called the girls "F***ing insane" and pointed to her head. One of the girls started sobbing. "I've never been yelled at like that. I've had people hate on me on the internet, but it doesn't really affect me as much," she said. "That just took me by surprise because I thought she was going to be nice, and she just started screaming at us and cussing at us." ... When the girls later learned that the woman who swore at them was a co-owner of the Storm, they were shocked and disappointed. They said the rest of the game was difficult to sit through. ...
When the group entered the stadium, they were heckled by fans who continued to boo Cunningham each time she touched the ball. Fans would also boo the girls when they took pictures before the game as well as between quarters.

Basketball in general has become a big bore.
In men's basketball, it almost all 3-point shots, and multiple fouls at the end to play the numbers game, so teams can't catch up.
Boooooring!
I guess teams have broke the games "code" and broke the game at the same time.
And the WNBA...meh, let it survive on it's own merits or lack thereof without welfare from the NBA.

In my fever dreams, Lebron Leflop James would retire from the NBA, declare that he’s a woman and at age 43 he’s still in great shape… he could average 100 ppg. Being a great leftist himself it’d be funny watching the lefties trying to decide if it was wonderful or awful. James is so big and powerful he might kill 2 or 3 opposing players per game by pure accident running them over. It would be fabulous

It is essential to the regime to show that *they* define reality, and only *they* have power. So they take extreme position just to assert their authority (which is a bullying tactic.)
It also disrupts the "five olds" of family, society, religion, sanity, grammar, etc., and it embraces a radical (insane) minority group. So to them it is all upside.

There are pics of her as a young girl. She looks like a girl would at that age, maybe 5-6 years old. Believe it or not, she was actually kinda cute.
It wasn't until her teenage years that she started looking more masculine.
All dick jokes aside, I have always thought she started taking steriods and performance-enhancing drugs around this time. If even a feminine woman takes male hormones for 10+ years, they will end up looking like ... Griner.

Funny moment from yesterday evening.
Me and the wife were out with Joe Mannix at a trivia night, and he sats "did you hear what happened to these two young girls at a WNBA game?"
I said "lemme guess... they were wearing Caitlin Clark jerseys, and one of these 'roided out ladychimps went into a Pavlovian response and attacked them."
He laughed pretty hard at how freaking close I guessed it. It's a gift.

Any mediocre male college basketball player could "transition", and immediately become the WNBA's superstar.
Officially, the WNBA claims that no trannies have been interested in playing in the WNBA.
Posted by: The ARC of History! at July 30, 2026 12:20 PM (aD4fx)
To my knowledge no self-proclaimed trannies have played in US female pro sports. The league rules must prohibit it. Because team owners, sponsors, and TV networks know it would soon lead to no viewers and no ticket sales. They are privately-owned so legally not subject to Fed anti-discrimination laws Nonetheless, it is discriminatory collusion, straight-up. I'm somewhat amazed a tranny or two or three has not sued the WNBA, WTA, and women's pro soccer for discrimination against them. The trannies thinking of doing so must be getting credible threats of their lives being made hell on Earth. And/or getting paid-off. Coaches and owners considering hiring trannies to win championships must be getting told, "No Way."

Bloomberg News was spitting chips over Warsh's press conference. Lisa Abramowicz in particular was ready to draw and quarter Warsh over not committing to raise rates or give any Fed guidance to that effect. A great noise was made over the 3 dissenters to yesterday's rate vote. None of them were named Jay Powell, who voted with Warsh. Nobody is bothering to mention him anymore, even though he's still a voting member of the Fed. Not very convenient for the narrative, I guess.

Yes, but owners of women's pro leagues could make it financially worthwhile to a male athlete or two to pretend to be a trans-woman, to win a championship or two. But it would soon financially backfire on the owner as I described. Trans-women in pro women's sports is like a self-limiting chemical reaction. Due to the financials. Money always trumps ideology sooner or later.

The Thursday Morning Rant
 (1).jpg)
Yes, the CBD 'Journey Into Subconsciousness' continues.
Paul Orders Fauci Attorney Removed From Hearing Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., ordered one of Dr. Anthony Fauci's attorneys removed from a Senate hearing Wednesday after the former White House chief medical adviser repeatedly invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination during questioning about the COVID-19 pandemic. The confrontation unfolded before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, where the Kentucky Republican had subpoenaed Fauci to testify about the origins of the coronavirus and the federal government's response to the pandemic, reports The Hill. Before questioning began, Fauci criticized Paul, accusing the committee chairman of being intent on securing his prosecution.I do not have enough disgust for the sanctimonious and megalomaniac "Doctor" Fauci and his shyster mouth piece Schertler. I'll say this for Hitler. He was open and honest compared to Anthony Fauci. And that is my rant for the day.
"The only conclusion I can reach is that the sole reason he is calling me before this committee is to get me to say something, anything that could vindicate his repeated public pledges that I end up in his words 'behind bars,'" Fauci said. When Paul began questioning him, Fauci repeatedly declined to answer, invoking his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. He gave the same response to questions from Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., and Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla. Meanwhile, the hearing briefly descended into a procedural dispute when one of Fauci's attorneys, David Schertler, repeatedly attempted to address the committee without being recognized by the chairman. Paul said Schertler had been instructed not to sit at the witness table with Fauci and was not authorized to participate in the hearing, reports The New York Post. "You will respect these proceedings. You were told not to sit at the table. You insist on sitting at the table, and we told you you would not be recognized. You are not invited here for testimony, sir. You are being disruptive," Paul told Schertler. "Would you behave this way in a courtroom? No, because the judge would put you in jail. I can't do that today. But I can have you escorted from the premises," added Paul. After Schertler continued trying to speak, Paul added, "There's a row behind you, sir. That's where you were told to sit … and now you're disrupting the proceedings." "This is the way Anthony Fauci wants to be remembered: for a lawyer not listening to the rules," Paul continued. "That's the way you want to be remembered, and that's what you're going to do." Paul then directed security to escort Schertler from the hearing room, saying, "Let the record state that Dr. Fauci will still have the advice of the other half a dozen attorneys that he brought along today."

He certainly benefited, but I always suspected it was because too many minorities were starting their own businesses and beginning to build generational wealth that would make them free from the dem plantation. At the very least, those minority owned businesses were a disproportionately large percentage of the victims of the forced closures.

Rand Paul addressed that exact point, saying that people will no longer "trust the science" nor the government, because Fauci has destroyed it. This could be deadly when and if a new, deadlier disease arises, and it will.
I'd like to point out that I made that exact point before the shutdowns even started.

Fauci whined about his "unredacted private diaries" being released.
He was a government employee, creating records on government computers. I guess he slept through the training explaining that that made them government records.
He did use eleven different servers to record his diaries, in an effort to make it impossible to track his diaries, and then deleted the material from the servers.
Too bad servers keep a record of what was stored there.

Good on Paul for dragging Fauci through the ringer but...
Fauci should be tried in a federal court. Make the court say the only reason he wasn't convicted for creating COVID and intentionally killing people via his policies and the clot shot because of Biden's pardon
And every state and locality should charge him for every COVID/clot shot death. Again even if every case ends because of federal supremacy let that be the argument - "The only reason Fauci isn't in jail is he was protected by Biden and the Democrats"

I think it will be mixed. Red states will be reluctant to listen to the CDC. Many states eliminated what authority their public health departments previously had.
Blue states will use it to clamp down hard. This will further the migration from blue to red, as more voters get red-pilled about what the left truly is.

The public would have been better served to have Brix in there along with a number of NIH weasels who helped shape the "protocols" for the public to abide. People without a pardon. And a lot to lose.
And dragged in a couple governors and mayors who were very aggressive in their crackdowns, along with their police chiefs, state medical professionals and anyone else who was responsible for what came after. And grilled the shit out them for a couple hours.
At that point, Fauci's non-answers would have been so damning I doubt he'd recover.

A new poll finds 40% of respondents believe in a baseless conspiracy theory that the coronavirus was created in a lab in China.
There is zero evidence for this. Scientists say the virus was transmitted to humans from another species.

Lois Lerner set the precedent for this crap. Will Republicans ever learn to ask a question that will be answered by the 5th before they let the scumbag Democrats (BIRM) read their opening statement of lies?
If this sequence is not permitted per some Senate hearing rule, abolish the damn rule! Also, shouldn't Fauci have lost his 5th Amendment right in that hearing by not taking the 5th when he answered "I do" when sworn-in? Republicans still haven't learned to play for keeps in DC.

Because they know they're viewed as hysterical children, so this is a way of showing they really like and respect science, and therefore aren't the fools they seem to be. They don't love science enough to become, you know, actual scientists, but they f***ing LOVE science. They don't understand that Fauci was primarily a bureaucrat, and one who, in Josh Hawley's words "lost his way" and decided it was all about him.

I had no idea.This sounds like a Penthouse Letters entry.
In diary entries, Fauci reveled in fawning Leftist college students
Similarly, in another entry, he wrote:
Chris and I (with the detail) went for our Sunday walk on the Mall as opposed to the Canal … we ran into groups of students who had just had their graduation ceremony from George Washington University on the Mall. A few recognized me and started squealing and laughing as asking for selfies, which I gave them. Then more and more people gathered around and soon we had the same sort of crowd around me as has happened at AU …
Another entry from June 2022 recounts the “glorious” time Fauci wrote that he had at College of the Holy Cross, which renamed a science building after him.
“The outpouring of love, affection, and admiration on the part of the students and the faculty at Holy Cross was very moving,” he wrote.

Nobody is ever going to convince me that sending money and technology to the CCP to develop bio weapons is business as usual. It often gets lost in the horror of 9/11 that what followed was a series of anthrax or fake anthrax attacks. It was such a concern that the Bush administration completely revamped our bio weapons and defense of bi weapons programs to guard against bio weapons attacks.
And a decade later we are partnering with our biggest geopolitical foe on bio weapons development?

I think it's a reminder of those times. And I think for you more than anything it's a reminder that they could come again. Any time. New guise. Old guise. Or same exact guise. And we will be "in it" all over again.
No, this won't make you feel better, but facing it consciously... that this is how the world is. We dance on a precipice between civilization and total disorder. That is the way it has always been.
HOWEVER... those particular days ARE gone. People are more awake now. We know about the broken ones but you aren't one of them. In fact you see things very clearly and always have. You might not sleep better tonight, but it will settle. This bs is behind us. Yes "they" walk among us, but always have.
For some reason, Trump turned his head to look at a chart about the border (which is in much better shape now). God used that moment to show that He and no one else has this, and to clear Trump's path back to power.
This won't cure your fears of what "could" happen but please know we are in a far better position now. Knowledge is power. Forewarned is forearmed. That is my sincere promise to you.

When I was in the ED recently, all the personnel were masked. Didn't make the patients mask up, though.

Hi Nurse! My phone is destroyed, so I lost all my contacts. Could you send me a text when you get a chance?

If the virus was so bad why did Biden throw open the borders to millions of illegal aliens, the vast majority of which were not vaccinated and were never required to get vaccinated once they got here.
Posted by: JackStraw at July 30, 2026 12:01 PM (viF8m)
They could have waited a few weeks and called an all clear and made Joey and Fauci heroes but instead Biden was as maniacal about the virus as Fauci. And they knew they were lying all along.

I think it took time for *biden's staff to consolidate their power. *biden was mentally crippled from the day he and the Democrats stole the election (with an assist from the GOP) and it was they who needed time to get set up.
The covid op gave cover for them. I'm somewhat surprised they didn't prolong it... but the economy was crashing and people were beginning to realize it was nowhere near a bad as the government said it was.
Still, it was a very successful operation into finding how far the Feds could go with getting the public to comply with some seriously asinine mandates.

All Inspector's doctors are doing elbow bumps. In Texas. Then again, it may simply be to cut down on how often they have to wash their hands, which probably does get really old.

Yeah, a pardon doesn't protect him from civil lawsuits.
Why hasn't a class action litigation been filed in Oklahoma or similar red state?

I can’t imagine being cooped up in my home for two years. I can’t imagine trying to raise little kids during that time. It must have been brutal.

That would be a statement of truth. Fauci is incapable, due to his demonic nature, of uttering truth.

The fact that in the local homelessness "assistance" circles, I am not a priority of any kind.
Around and around I go, where I sleep tonight, damned if I know (well in a hotel for now, but you get the point).
No beds. Most resources go to women with children, which I get, but seriously? Nothing for the men?
Fuck this world. I have a home when time comes to leave it. Can't leave early or I don't get it, naturally. Tired of Catch-22.
OK, my rant for the day. Back to my usual shitposting.

The multiple gold coffin funerals for a drugged out thug while others weren't allowed *any* funeral is probably only second to OweB+owMao's reign of error for destroying interracial unity in this country. Hard not to suspect this was intentional.

My grands are very socialized and hauled to restaurants and travel from infancy (8 &5yrs). While I initially protested the daycare at the parish, they have made friends and it's been good for them. Confident kids who have fun.
A stark difference in the sheltered children of friends they know and recently went on a cruise with. Those kids, ages 4yrs and 2yrs are messes, having no social interaction. Partially due to covid. Partially due to their attorney mother who is Puerto Rican and apparently nuts. The father is my son's friend and a nice guy.
They scream if they don't get their way. Are shy with people (except when the 2yr old refuses to stay in his high chair and they think it's cute for him to go to other's tables at dinner). It's not cute when they tantrum in public. Son said never again. They also scream in bed til midnight, even at home. The Scream Cruise.
Vocabulary is limited. A totally different aspect of our grands in every way. I had vague hope that the parents might see the huge difference but apparently they did not and "want to plan another vacation." Not bloody likely.

It broke some people, it really did.
They were obviously vulnerable to it, but still.
Foremost among them being the people who are still driving solo with masks on.

It didn't break me, because i would rather die than live like that.

*************
We all got covid in Big Sky, Montana skiing from the toddler grandson who'd been in daycare (no masking, thank goodness for some sanity for toddlers). It was a cold. His father was the sickest and we all drove home.
We'd all decided that it was not going to stop us from life or travel. Later that year we went to Sun Valley and there was masking for Octoberfest. Except, of course, when you sat to eat as the virus could not touch you then (which was the most retarded rule of all).
Outside we did not mask but saw others doing it and I wanted to point and laugh but am polite. Hiking we saw masks and they would almost fall off trails to avoid us unmasked peasant vectors.
We had fun. I realized early on the dropping dead chy knees people was bs. It was not the Influenza of 1918, thank God. Nor ebola. It was a cold...and I say this being prone to bronchitis.

In '19, I was considering getting out of OR, watching the "by hook or by crook" leftist takeover. I opposed mail-in ballots when it was voted in, and I predicted, verified by '20, that - now "counted" by county employees who's rice bowl was involved - that no bond measure would ever fail. By '20, I was actively looking. Spurred on by the eager adoption of more and more authoritarian covid rules, I pulled the trigger in late '20. Since a significant amount of remodeling was wanted in the new place, it took almost 6 months to fully move. We took.multiple trips between AZ and OR and the contrast was vivid. In OR, masked single drivers were the norm, in small town NE AZ, at its height, less than half of the people were masked outside, or in any venue without a legal requirement, like govt offices. The exception was the Reservations, where they were hit pretty hard,I believe due to a combination of genetic susceptibility and tightly communal living.

I'll say this for Hitler. He was open and honest compared to Anthony Fauci. And that is my rant for the day.
That's the thing about Dictators and Terrorists -- their intellectualy honesty brazenly brandishing their weapons openly with the dare:
TRY TO STOP ME IF YOU THINK YOU CAN
Compared to the Cowardly Politico, who's only real power is to get you to believe in them while the conceal the vast arsenal that is hair triggered to snap, trap and ensare you for even the slightest perceived disrespect.
