Dogs Making Friends Cafe
A Moonlit Lane
by John Atkinson Grimshaw, 1874
Dog action photography. Sex sells. Zoo animals discover snow. You don't meet a lot of people who would rescue an orphaned wild rat. Animal control took her puppies away when she was out foraging for food. But people notice the mama dog seemed distressed, and reunited her with the puppies at a foster home. Old time TV shows collide with each other as Mannix holds Jack Tripper at gunpoint on the Brady Bunch living room set. A young camel was ostracized by other animals because he's just too weird-looking. Can he make a friend? Tolkein's pitch for Fellowship of the Ring. Best in Show. Lion and dachshunds are best friends. Neighbor's dog decides he'd rather live with the family next door. Instead of chasing off a burglar, this dog brought him his toy and asked for pets. He's no criminal, though -- he also brought his toy to the cops as they broke into the house to arrest the thief.
James Lucas
@JamesLucasIT That moonlight isn't real. Every drop of it is oil paint... It's called A Moonlit Lane, and it was painted by John Atkinson Grimshaw in 1874. A full moon hangs behind bare, tangled branches, the road below still wet from the rain, and every puddle and wall and dark hedge holds a little of that cold silver light. You can almost feel the chill in the air and hear the silence of the street... The man who painted it was born in a cramped terraced house in Leeds, worked as a clerk for the railway, and taught himself almost everything he knew. At twenty-four, to his parents' horror, he quit his job to paint. He even borrowed from photography, projecting scenes onto his canvas with lenses, and some of his contemporaries sneered that the results showed no marks of handling or brushwork, as if that were a flaw rather than an artistic miracle... But the painter who mattered most saw it differently: James McNeill Whistler, the man famous for his own night paintings, came to visit him and admitted: "I considered myself the inventor of nocturnes until I saw Grimmy's moonlit pictures."

On X, several accounts are going through the early vote data in OH, PA, etc.
And in many of them, they are saying EV is down for both parties, but more down for Dems.
Especially in the 18-35 group, the most heavy Dem group.
yet, almost daily I see news articles saying exactly the opposite.
Someone is lying.

I don't know if someone already mentioned this, but what squared the circle for me was the detail that Democrats were only ahead of Republicans on Day 1, with a big drop-off. So they efficiently mobilized to produce numbers for the Democrat Activists With Bylines to dutifully tout, but it was a mirage caused by front-loading their early voters, not producing new ones.

There wasn't much sex of any kind in Tolkien, other than the Túrin and Niënor incest incident in The Silmarillion -- and that wasn't explicit by any means.
For those who haven't read it, Túrin and Niënor, brother and sister, unwittingly banged each other, leading to the Bad Things that incest always leads to in mythology, even if it was accidental -- this wasn't done intentionally so that Túrin could get a Green Card.

Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed's Mother Was an Active Member of the Muslim Brotherhood In College
Abdul El-Sayed's mother--whom the left-wing Michigan Senate candidate has described as "smart, warm, charismatic" and whom he called on camera in a May campaign video--was active in the Muslim Brotherhood while in college in Egypt, a revelation that further contradicts El-Sayed's recent claims that neither he nor his family have ties to the radical Islamist group. Eman Abdelhadi, a University of Chicago professor and El-Sayed's half-sister, wrote about her mother and other family members' ties to the Muslim Brotherhood in social media posts in June 2012, just after Muslim Brotherhood leader Mohamed Morsi was elected president of Egypt. "Had an amazing talk with my mom about her activism in the Muslim Brotherhood during the early 70s while she was in college," wrote Abdelhadi, who is five years younger than El-Sayed and has a different father. Their mother, Fatten Elkomy, is a nurse in Missouri who attended Alexandria University, one of the largest universities in Egypt. The school was known as a hub of Muslim Brotherhood activity in the 1970s, according to a 2012 report from the Brookings Institution, which noted that "the Muslim Brothers dominated the Islamic Group at Alexandria University" at the time. El-Sayed himself recounted his mother's campus activism in his book, Healing Politics, writing that she was a "leader on campus" but omitting any mention of the Muslim Brotherhood. A 2012 Columbia Medicine Magazine alumni profile of El-Sayed notes that El-Sayed's mother "studied medicine" in "Alexandria, Egypt" and was an outspoken opponent of military rule in the country, which was briefly interrupted by the election of Morsi. El-Sayed signed a 2012 statement identifying himself as part of a group of "Morsi Supporters in America," the Washington Free Beacon reported.She did not ask any follow-ups. She did not read his sister's words to him, in which his sister identified his mother as a member of the Muslim Brotherhood.
... The revelation of Elkomy's role as a Muslim Brotherhood campus activist comes as El-Sayed denies any ties to the Islamist group, which spawned Hamas in Gaza in the 1980s. In a Sunday Meet the Press appearance, El-Sayed said neither he nor his family have connections to the Brotherhood. "You don't have any ties, and your family doesn't?" NBC's Kristen Welker asked. "No," El-Sayed said twice.
His father seems to be Muslim Brotherhood, too, although no one is on record saying so:
But Abdelhadi, who was arrested for assaulting a police officer during an anti-ICE rally in Chicago last year, has repeatedly discussed her family's ties to the Brotherhood, the Free Beacon reported. "My family has long been MB," she wrote on June 24, 2012. "I have had family jailed for being a part of it," she wrote on July 3, 2013. "Praying for all my family that supports the #MB in Egypt. Lie low, stay safe" she said. El-Sayed has faced intense scrutiny over his ties to the Muslim Brotherhood from his Republican opponent, former congressman Mike Rogers.
Kristin Welker did not question Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed's deep family connections to the Muslim Brotherhood. She did instead what all left-wing "journalistic" activists do, give him an easy opportunity to deny the facts without any push-back that might cause him discomfort.
It is unclear whether El-Sayed's father, Mohamed, has any ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. According to El-Sayed, his father studied and taught at Alexandria University until leaving the school in 1978. El-Sayed wrote that his dad "had to leave" Egypt over his "political agitation" against Egyptian military rule. El-Sayed has also said his father left Egypt because he believed "he could express his religion in America better than he could in Egypt at the time."
She was allowed to "moderate" presidential debates. Meanwhile, Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed's terrorist and communist wingman Hasan Piker has a long history of attacking the very idea of democracy, instead favoring sharia law and communist tyranny, left-wing liberal Jonathan Chait reports.
NBC White House correspondent Kristen Welker asked El-Sayed about allegations his family has connections to the Islamic group. El-Sayed denied any such connections twice in the interview with one-word responses. Welker asked no follow-up questions on the issue and moved on to other issues.
A black female comedienne -- I think -- embarrassed Piker by asking him about his Champagne Socialism. Worth the watch.
As I prepared for the interview by researching his commentary, I realized that Piker is right to complain that the handful of frequently repeated controversial statements fail to accurately represent his worldview. In fact, it's much worse than those quotes suggest. The most important problem with inviting Piker to join the pro-democracy coalition is that, by any reasonable definition of the term, he does not believe in democracy.
Recommended Reading Piker declared at a debate this year, "I say we put the power back in the hands of the many rather than the power in the hands of the few. If a dictatorship is inevitable, I'd rather have it be a dictatorship of the proletariat than one that is designed around the needs of the bourgeois class." On his Twitch stream he has said: "I love Lenin. I love Fidel Castro. And I love Che Guevara. They are genuinely fucking heroes." When asked to cite an example of socialism that he admires, Piker replied, "China is probably the closest," while conceding that "there are still plenty of failures within the Chinese system." Although he cites China's economic model, rather than its single-party Communist regime, as the source of his admiration, other countries have exhibited the same rapid industrialization without attracting Piker's fawning praise. He has dismissed Mao's campaign of mass terror as mere mistakes. "Do I believe that it was intentional? No, I don't believe that it was intentional." In fact, as the Brookings scholar Kenneth Lieberthal, who has taught a course on China under communism at the University of Michigan, told me, "Mao never shied away from violence among Chinese civilians to achieve his goals, and he never expressed regret for any deaths that occurred as a result of his initiatives." Piker has extensively praised economic development in North Korea, a country that he has acknowledged engages in repression, while maintaining that "it's certainly not as bad as the way that Western media presents it." In one segment marveling at economic development in the Stalinist kingdom, where even the slightest acts of dissent are met with confinement and torture, he said, "It is fucking mind-boggling to me that a country so fucking poor and so distraught, a country that withstood a fucking genocide, could get to this level, dude. Like, how does this not make you mad as an American citizen? How does this not fucking piss you off, where you look at this shit and you're like, if they can do it, why the fuck can't we?" Piker concluded by saying that North Korea's achievement "shows you that a better future is possible for all of us." ... In one especially revealing episode, he attacked a refugee from Vietnam. Piker's stream typically includes snippets of videos that he and his audience watch together, interspersed with his own commentary. As the video showed the refugee saying "We have endured suffering under the Communist regime," he threw back his head in disbelief and began to rant: "Okay, fuck you, dude. I mean seriously, fuck you, old lady. Shut the fuck up, you stupid fucking idiotic old lady with your stupid fucking gamer headest. Who has fucked you harder, America or fuckin' Ho Chi Minh? Suck my dick, old lady. Goddamn, dude. Fuck this refugee."

Meanwhile, you just get shrugs if you mention that Woodrow Wilson featured it in the White House theater.
Problem is is that their people follow them through all the blow-offs and manipulation.
In fact, from experience, it seems that if a Dem was not impressed by the above Wilson factoid this week. He probably wouldn't remember it next week. Just because they blow something off, doesn't mean they will remember that you ever told them that.

Doesn't matter if my memory holds up. And one time he denounced the Klan and his former involvement in it. So he had publicly the same stance as Byrd.
With Duke, Dems were still saying "Once KKK, always KKK". Even with Byrd already accepted.
Democrats are far more likely to be atheists. Atheists tend to be sloppy thinkers. (Not that traditionals aren't, but most traditionals aren't promoting the idea that the pinnacle of human progress is to unmoor from anything I don't personally understand.)

According to El-Sayed, his father studied and taught at Alexandria University until leaving the school in 1978.
Hmmmm, what else happened in 1978? Oh yeah, the Camp David Accords. Which freaked out the Palesimians and Arabs so much that they tried to isolate Egypt from the rest of the Arab/mohammedan world. And eventually the MB talked the Islamic Jihad organization savages into assassinating Anwar Sadat a few years later specifically because he made peace with the Jews.

Cincinnati News reported:
US-owned steel plant with a plant in Middletown OH begins mass layoffs amid Trump tariffs:
In a memo sent by Cleveland-Cliffs to workers, the company explicitly linked the move to Trump's steel tariffs on Canada, which it said had "significantly shrunk the market" for its products.
Goldberg obviously only read the tweet and responded:
Maybe the tariffs were stupid all along?
If he'd read the story, he would have discovered the company is shutting down a Canadian plant and expanding operations in the US.

If you have a refrigerator that's having temp swings, you can dispatch a tech. In an old school on or off system, you'd have to rely on a product stocker or store employee to notice the problem. Good luck getting that info in a timely manner.

I thought it was pretty original, myself. But since somebody mentioned a novel about aliens shrinking our sun, it could be argued to be a wrinkle on that.
All the same, there are plenty of premises that are sort of on-boarded onto a SF story as a package.
It could be FTL and it could be Cryo-sleep. The only other thing would be Near Space for a space-flung SF.

I don't know if someone already mentioned this, but what squared the circle for me was the detail that Democrats were only ahead of Republicans on Day 1, with a big drop-off. So they efficiently mobilized to produce numbers for the Democrat Activists With Bylines to dutifully tout, but it was a mirage caused by front-loading their early voters, not producing new ones.

TikTok Feminists Try to Cancel Shane Gillis Again, This Time for Stating the True Fact that Slutty Women are Dressing Like Whores at the Gym
This is another non-controversy turned into a tumult by bored, neurotic attention- seeking clickwhore e-feminists.
Shane Gillis gave a kinda lame monologue on SNL about women dressing like "whores" at the gym. This is not a controversial take, nor is it new -- people have been noticing and commenting on the trends in women's (or, let's be serious, women who want to be influencers and e-girls) wearing nothing on their upper body except a spandex strap across their breasts and wearing shorts designed expressly to show their butt-cracks and camel toes. These aren't your Grandpa's tight shorts. These shorts have a tight, elastic seam in the crotch that hugs the deep contours of the buttocks and sucks the material in. This is not some new observation. Nor can it be denied. The old shorts let you see the outside contours of the camel toe. The new shorts let you see the inner contours of the camel toe. That's a sexual escalation. Shane Gillis said, basically, that women were dressing like "whores" to entrap men into looking at their asses and breasts so they could then monetize their "sexual victimization" on TikTok. I don't know if that's still funny three years later -- but it remains 100% factually accurate. There is an entire genre of TikTok "content" of e-girls showing their nether regions to every man in the gym and then claiming that any man who so much as looks in their direction is "harassing" them. The YouTuber Joey Swoll basically built his channel scolding e-girls for these cheap attention-getting/sexual-harassment-faking antics. Again, this is not controversial. My objection to this bit is that it's like three year old observation. We've been seeing women dressing extremely provocatively and then filming men merely glancing at them and accusing the men of ocular rape for years. But The Libs of TikTok are stupid, vicious animals and so they're pretending that Gillis is talking about more normal sportswear -- which is itself very tight and revealing, but that's not even the type of outfit he's talking about. And they're trying to cancel him.As you know, feminists tried to cancel Sydney Sweeney over showing off her body. But on the other hand, they celebrate singing whore Sabrina Carpenter and Body Positivity Moose Lizzo for doing the same. The difference, they claim, is that Sydney Sweeney is appealing to the "Male Gaze" while Sabrina Carpenter, when she wears lingerie on stage and has a male dancer mime taking her from behind as she mimes going down on another male dancer, is not appealing to the Male Gaze but merely "sexualizing herself for herself" and "empowering herself." (Evidence: Content warning for Sabrina Carpenter getting into various sexual positions and asking, "Want to try it this way?" And here's where she posed being doubled-teamed by two men, again asking, "Want to try it this way?")
Basically, this is entirely a political settlement reached among feuding branches of feminism, the "Slutwalk Feminists" ("sex-positive" feminists) versus the Prude Feminists ("sex-negative" feminists). This battle divided the movement so they settled on the completely fake, utterly political bullshit-compromise position that you could be as big a slut as you wanted so long as you claimed that you were doing so to empower yourself as a feminist and definitely not to appeal to men's interest in seeing sexy women. Meanwhile, the Prude Feminists could continue to attack women like Sydney Sweeney by asserting, without asking Sweeney herself about it, that she was appealing to the Male Gaze and not to her own Empowerment and therefore is degrading all women. The Prudes get what they want -- shaming the sluts -- and the sluts get what they want -- getting to be sluts without being judged by their fellow left-wing cows -- because all feminists and their cuck beta orbiters agree to this utterly incoherent and arbitrary division of the world between "Good Sluts" (empowered feminists) and "Bad Sluts" (women who want to appeal to men).
This is of course complete bullshit. When women dress provocatively, they're doing it to appeal to the Male Gaze. Period. If they feel "empowered" in doing so, it's because everyone, naturally, feels an ego lift at being thought of as attractive by the other sex. One time I mentioned the claim made by women that when women dress sexy they're doing it to impress other women. The woman I mentioned this to scoffed at the claim and said -- vulgarity warning -- "Oh? Do they shave their pussies for other women, too?" No, of course not. But it's a shibboleth among stupid feminists that it's Good if you sexualize yourself "for yourself" or for other women but it's very Bad if you sexualize yourself for men, and of course they get to decide which is which. If you're a member of the Cult of Feminism with all dues paid up, you can mime getting double-teamed on stage while wearing lingerie and be hailed as an empowered hero. If you refuse to join the Cult of Feminism, you get attacked for "degrading women in sports" for appearing semi-nude in an ad for a betting parlor. It's just the same easy rules for those in the leftwing tribe and the same viciously-exacting rules for those outside the tribe. Just vicious tribal leftism applied to another area of the human experience. Anyway, this is what the Bubblegum Brigade is shrieking about this week. Update: Apparently the shorts are called "butt scrunch shorts" or "scrunch butt shorts." This female trainer says OF COURSE the shorts are designed to show off every contour of your ass so how can you say you're offended by men doing exactly what you intended them to do? From bonhomme: Here's an ad for them. You can see why they're called "butt scrunch shorts." The claim that these shorts aren't being worn for sexual provocation, but are merely worn because it's "comfy" to work out with an elastic band tight up against your butt-hole, is preposterous.
LimechompOh well then. Consider me "served."
@cointelbo It has nothing to do with "how they work" just because the shorts look like a *fake* butthole. The scrunching looks like a butthole at first glance, the same way that a pointy bra can look like nipples despite nipples not looking like a pointy bra in reality.

I see women all the time in the gym in these scrunch butt mini shorts and a bralette. And you'd better not look because they might start filming themselves at any moment and you might get caught on camera looking. Then they post a video of you to the internet of the "creeper" that made them uncomfortable.

Lots of people are listening to music on their phones during their workout, though.
My gym strictly bans video recording of any kind. If you need a video of yourself for a legit form check you can go ask the staff and they'll do it for you with nobody else in the frame and comment on it so you can work on your deadlift or whatever. Other than that, if you're caught filming it's one warning and then you're banned for life.

At the University of Arizona in 1992 there was a pair of Racquetball Courts surrounded by Stair Climbers and Treadmills on 3 Sides.
The court was about 15 feet lower than the walls of machines. So, you'd be looking up at nothing but heaving tits and asses on 3 sides as you played.
It was a 3-5 week list to get on one of those 2 courts...all the other courts were available every day of the week.

I'm not a prude, and the outfits worn publicly by others don't embarrass me at all. However, even I'm waiting for an a** kicking if I'm even be thought of giving an odd look to the wearers. (They are not "little" girls at all and appear to be doing some heavy gym time.)

Like I said yesterday, I'm a man and I look. I enjoy looking at fit women. But there are limits. Look, appreciate, and move on. That gets more difficult when they're five feet away, in a sexually suggestive pose, working hard, and basically in their underwear.
Additionally, there's the danger you'll be filmed looking. You might end up with an outrage mob publishing the video broadly enough that people whose opinions you value might see it.

Speaking of "the girls", I just realized that since Biden has been gone I no longer hear PSA's on our local AM sports channel for breast cancer. Because we all know women are the target audience for sports radio. That had to be quite the grift, somehow.

My workout clothes are all of the semi baggy verity so I can actually MOVE without either having to worry about showing my junk, nor the fabric binding up on me and getting uncomfortable.

And the women always choose Chad.
Unemployed Chad, No-Commit Chad, Lazy Chad, Married Chad, Old Chad, etc.
Even opposite politics as a "hard no" in their profile was discarded by the women just to get a date with Chad.
Regular dude could be richer, better educated, younger, stuff like that and Chad always got more "likes"
Anyway, lots of evidence that women under 30 are toxic and not fit to marry or even date.

They're looking for "engagement", but OF COURSE the true definition is "engagement I WANT!"
I really think it was ridiculously unfair to the dumb creep who worked in the same kitchen where I was a dishwasher once. (I'll explain the attribution.)
I was about the same age as the kids in the bus staff, as was the "dumb creep" I referred to. Their was a lot of flirting and crotch-grabbing.
Just because he went to the same school, was in the same classes, he joined in. He got fired and a trip to the police station as a sexual assailant.
He was a creep. He was not too bright. But he didn't deserve to have his life ruined because he couldn't read the room.
But women enforce "Only the attention I WANT".
Oh, they want attention--but they really which life was a smorgasbord of attention. You can ogle them online and with likes.

Some humorless scold at the Jane Goodall Institute took offense and had her lawyers send him a C and D demand letter while she was out in the field and out of contact. When she returned she saw the comic and laughed her ass off. Which started a lifelong friendship between Goodall and Larson, including having her write a forward to one of his collection books.

The last gym I joined was part of the med center. There was no way I was going to parade things in front of doctors and staff who knew me. Plus being married with sons, and everyone knew this.
I wore a long tee shirt over yoga pants.
I'm trying to think of a time in my prime I was,"Here I am! Come and get it!" and have nothing. I never tried for that. Did I miss anything?
I did wear modest bikinis around pools or reservoirs and looked good, but I was not going for the slut factor. I was a swimmer and that's what I wore. Nothing was hanging out and annoying me when I dove off cliffs and swam to the top. I have no idea what this did to the boy posse I was with as they were friends only and before I met my guy. I'm sure I looked good but was not paying attention as I was there to have fun.
I don't know what to think except those shorts look uncomfortable and don't make the person wearing them look good. Unless you are going for the Kardashian butt theme or Walmart.

Feds: We Have Probable Cause to Show That America's Sweetheart Ilhan "Omar" Committed Immigration Crimes
That's not a surprise -- you need probable cause to obtain a warrant, and a judge found that DHS did have probable cause.
And that judge was probably a leftist.Department of Justice (DOJ) officials confirmed on Monday that Omar's home had been raided as part of a federal probe. Fahey says that because the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is involved, the case focuses on the issue of immigration, but details remain unclear. "The big picture here is a federal judge in Washington, DC, signed off on a search warrant. That means there's probable cause that a federal crime was committed, and there would be evidence of that crime in the area to be searched, which in this case was Representative Omar's home," Fahey told the New York Post's Chadwick Moore. In particular, Fahey said it could not have been an easy task for federal investigators to secure a judicial warrant on Omar's home, considering D.C. judges tend to be left leaning, telling the Post that "a judge must have been very convinced" by the evidence presented.
America's sweetheart may be in trouble.
I don't want to silence you, I want to deport you and make you persona non grata in the US. Meanwhile, the same people who said "No one is above the law" to justify -- celebrate, even -- the raid on Mar-a-Lago now say the search of a mere Representative's house is a fascist invasion.
The search Monday of Rep. Ilhan Omar's Washington, D.C., home by federal agents was focused on the Minnesota Democrat's immigration history, raising the prospects of legal and denaturalization risks for the Somalian-born lawmaker. Federal agents with the Homeland Security Investigations division of the Department of Homeland Security were seen outside Omar's home in the early hours of Monday. HSI "executed a judicially authorized search warrant secured by the Department of Justice," an agency spokesperson said in a statement. The spokesperson also confirmed that the raid is "part of an ongoing federal criminal investigation." Multiple outlets report that the search was part of a criminal fraud investigation into the Omar's immigration paperwork. The New York Times reports that a new investigation targeting Omar was opened in recent months and centers on her immigration history. The probe is focusing, in part, on whether Omar's late father, Nur Omar Mohamed, lied or omitted information when he sought citizenship in the United States. Federal authorities determining Omar's father falsified his citizenship application paperwork could lead to them pursuing a criminal or denaturalization case against the congresswoman because she, in turn, would have been granted citizenship from a father who was ineligible for naturalization. Omar said Monday that the raid on her home was an attempt by President Donald Trump to target his political enemies. "I will not be silenced," she wrote in a post to X.

The last 20 years has really radicalized the right to the point of simply not giving a shit. We saw what standing down did.
It led to losing.
We're tired of losing, and the people who grew up sick of losing are now embedded in government through Trump's second administration.

2026: Ok so maybe Omar made a mistake on some paperwork that allowed her to illegally gain citizenship and then become an elected official and get $30M in bribes. I mean...its not like that is a serious crime or anything. Don't let Trump turn us into a banana republic people!

Dnaturalization requires Article III court cases to strip the naturalized immigration of their citizenship. It's not just a simple, "you are here illegally, you go now" from an administrative immigration judge.
If the Trump DOJ is working to get her denaturalized and deported, I'm pretty sure this is exactly what they'd be doing.

Either you stand for something in which case you are horrified at the state the country is in and will do almost anything to change it back, or you never had an principles to begin with

But the change was from 52% (drinking at all) in Gen-X to 48% in Gen-Z. I thought it was much higher. I thought non-drinkers were an aberrant minority, so I finally understand how they can be so judgy: if it's about half, then they can easily be surrounded by fellow teetotalers and feel like drinkers are an aberrant minority. Everyone can feel that way about the other.

🚨 BREAKING: DC US Attorney Jeanine Pirro announces ANOTHER investigation has been opened related to Somali Rep. Ilhan Omar's sketchy financial records — IN ADDITION to the HSI-spearheaded case and raid
IT'S ALL CRASHING DOWN...
PIRRO: "HSI, going to a federal judge who is cognizant of the Fourth Amendment rights of any target, who said you have the right to search this person's house. Based upon that execution of that warrant, we will see what comes of it...there's no question that that judge would not have signed that warrant unless there was probable cause. And probably more than that, given the individual who's involved."
Q: What about the financial disclosures? She was given a pass by House ethics, $30M appeared and disappeared
PIRRO: "I can tell you that is subject of an investigation as well. It doesn't matter what the House does."
Q: This is your office that's doing this?
PIRRO: "Yeah."

There is currently an argument on the left as to whether women can be bisexual if in fact they are grossed out at the idea of sexual/romantic relations with another woman.
And you know...I gotta agree this is a stupid idea. But they do not want to touch the real reason this stupid idea is out there. As per the left this is because of misogyny or homophobia or some crap like that which is stupid.
The real reason you have obviously straight women claiming to be bisexual is that it is the easiest way to claim gay oppression creds, and now they are getting lazy enough they don't even want to pretend they are two margaritas away from letting Katy Perry sexually assault them...

Not really. Irving Kristol started out as a hardcore liberal and then morphed into a liberal. But he was always a neocon. THE neocon. That was his real philosophy and it found supporters on both sides of the aisle over the years.

On the one hand, you're a practicing Jew so I as a Catholic have some hackles raised here.
On the other hand, practicing Jews likely had some reservations when John Chrysostom, the most bespoke antisemite perhaps in Church history, ended up as patriarch of Constantinople at a time this station outranked the bishop of Rome.
Leo has been a pretty lousy Pope not just "for the Jews" but for Europeans as well.
So I have to allow it.

1.) In the most corrupt parishes, I'd relegate and desacralize the church buildings, and build new ones, as a statement of intent to root out the evil.
2.) I'd remove most of the bishops, and replace them with foreign ones, hardworking young ones, because I'd be putting them in direct administrative roles over the parishes.
3.) A lot of prominent Catholic laity would be excommunicated. Pelosi, for instance, would probably be first to get the bell, book, and candle treatment.

Democrats to Kamala Harris: Get Bent and Get Lost
Democrats have been hinting that Kamala Harris should stop wasting everyone's tim, pretending that she is a credible presidential candidate.
But Kamala Harris is a stupid and a daydrinking drunk, and has not taken the hint. I know I hit this point a lot, but it is incredible to me that when seeking a job that requires real sobriety, she constantly shows up for planned speeches drunk enough to slur half of her words. It would be one thing if a reporter caught her out at night, unexpectedly, and she was sloshed. But no, she turns up for planned media opportunities three sheets to the wind. She can't keep herself to just two drinks to loosen her up, she has to drink seven or eight just before a speech. And the media, of course, pretends they can't tell when someone is slurring their words because they're drunk. Only a medical doctor can make this difficult diagnosis. Which is even more absurd than telling us that we weren't credentialed enough to know that Biden was showing signs of advanced cognitive decline. That rant over: Because Willie Brown's Brown Willie Warmer won't take a hint, Democrats are escalating. Now they're not hinting, they're telling her -- some of them under their actual names -- to go away.FWEEDOM!!!
'She totally blew it': How Kamala Harris wasted a year to make her case
Harris has offered voters almost nothing in the way of specifics about how she would remake a Democratic Party hungry for change after another term of Donald Trump.
... For Harris, according to interviews with nearly 20 Democratic Party donors and strategists in California and across the country, it was a missed opportunity to redefine herself -- and ultimately a wasted year. "She totally blew it," said Doug Herman, who was a lead mail strategist for Barack Obama's 2008 and 2012 campaigns. "She hasn't gotten into the mix." Harris has offered voters almost nothing in the way of specifics about how she would remake a Democratic Party hungry for change after another term of Donald Trump. She hasn't spoken to how she would expand her own appeal to the voters who rejected her, and she remains as reticent of media as ever, continuing to favor appearances before friendly audiences and at times drawing fire for limiting access to news organizations altogether. She has entirely sidestepped the ideological civil war consuming the Democrats and has acted more like a party elder at a time when voters and donors are demanding a break with the past. "I don't see anything different myself. It seems like more of the same to me," said Jim Hodges, the former governor of South Carolina, the first state on the Democratic nominating calendar. "Right now Democratic primary voters ... are very anxious about a Trump acolyte being in the White House in 2028. And they want to select someone who they think has the best chance to win, but who also meets these requisites: fresh, new. I hear a lot of talk about that -- 'we don't need recycled candidates.'" ... "I am looking at all kinds of candidates for 2028, and she's not necessarily one of them," said Laurie Black, a San Diego-based donor and longtime Harris supporter. "It's not that I don't think she's qualified ... [but] I want to support a winner in 2028, and I just don't know if the vice president has the juice this time." Another California-based fundraiser could not think of a single person in their circle who wants Harris to run again. ...
But if Harris showed an inclination after leaving office to recalibrate, it never materialized. On policy, Harris has stuck to familiar territory, focusing on affordability, artificial intelligence and voting rights -- all issues she has championed or worked on throughout her career. A person close to Harris said it was more authentic for the former vice president to build on themes she's long been passionate about, rather than turning to new topics. ... "The one thing that everyone is disappointed in, whether you're a swing voter or you're a base voter, is that they feel like she hasn't done anything with this time," said a Democratic pollster who conducts focus groups with voters across the country and was granted anonymity to discuss internal research. "They just aren't hearing from her at all, and so the only thing they remember from her is losing the last election. That's the most recent memory in their minds." ...
She developed a habit of backtracking on more ambitious campaign proposals after pushback, like her call to eliminate private health insurance in the 2019 Democratic primary and her anti-price gouging plan in 2024. "Frankly, this is Kamala's biggest weakness -- her inability to have these big ideas," said Herman. "She doesn't have these big policy concepts because it's not been part of who she is. She's an attorney. She is a lawyer who works in prosecutions, and it's not in her bones to do this stuff." Nor has talking about policy been a strong suit. Accused at times of offering "word salad" in her past campaigns, Harris still defaults to discursive statements of values and calls for conversations around hot-button issues instead of declaring where she stands. She remains reticent to speak with mainstream media outlets, though she's been more open to long-form podcast interviews. And she still relies on well-worn anecdotes from past stump speeches, like recalling attending civil rights protests as a toddler with her mother wheeling her in a stroller.
"If I were her, I would never say that stroller story again in my life," said one longtime associate who was granted anonymity to speak candidly. "She's never been very good at updating her memorized riffs."Below: Kamala has all new salads to toss. Well, they're kind of new. They're all kind of the same pattern of tautology and circular illogic. She's no Sphinx.
New life advice from Kamala Harris:
"Not just memory in legacy but pride in what can be the destiny and was the destiny that many fought for" Word salads are back on the menu! https://t.co/9oanXKMkAj— End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) September 29, 2026
🔥🚨 OMG! — Kamala Harris just delivered the WORD SALAD OF THE CENTURY:
“We lose our power. I do believe that when you feel powerless, you are powerless. And when we feel powerful, we are powerful.” That is not a speech. That is a fortune cookie message that failed the bar exam. She is still auditioning for a job the country already rejected her for. The power she is describing is the power to fill airtime.— The Patriot Oasis™ (@ThePatriotOasis) September 22, 2026

She can read well enough to know that she's won every single poll of the Democrat primary race since February, mostly by double digits, and that she walks in with the first primary state locked up (SC).
But, sure, AOC getting a close second in NV will undo that completely.

The only other candidate with a national profile large enough to challenge her is Gavin Newsom, and Democrats don't like him very much.
Black Democrats really don't like him.
There's a reason white progressives are trying to play up Ossoff's eventual strong performance with blacks in the GA Senate general election.

I think this is aimed at potential donors rather than voters, to try to kneecap her grasping twat before 2028 season kicks off.
She will not go gently. She's like radioactive gonorrhea. You can't get rid of her. She still has the right skin color and powerful political backers who also won't go gently. I think the race card will be helped when Talacreepo gets buttfucked by Paxton and the black race pimps screech that Jizzmine Rachett would have won.

So, Ukraine is a country in Europe. It exists next to another country called Russia. Russia is a bigger country. Russia is a powerful country. Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine. So, basically, that's wrong, and it goes against everything that we stand for.
It's time for us to do what we have been doing and that time is every day.
Let's keep fighting for the America we believe in, an America free of injustice. An America that we know we can be unburdened by what has been.
Many of us went to school on the yellow school bus, right? It's part of our experience growing up. It's part of a nostalgia, a memory of the excitement and joy of going to school to be with your favorite teacher, to be with your best friends and to learn. The school bus takes us there.

Black - 32.9%
18-29: 3.5%

Tangential, these are the totals by demo of early voting in GA (started today) through 1:30.
In 2022, the black vote was 38.5%. In 2024, it was 30.3% but nearly twice the number of votes.
In 2022, Warnock won by 3% in the senate race, and Warnock is bit blacker than Ossoff.

There are vids of her years ago when she's far more coherent.
She also impressed a lot of people -- including even some here -- with her debate performance against Trump. Some here even thought she won (I did not).
She also passed the CA bar, which doesn't take a rocket scientist, but you can't be a moron either.
So ... I don't think she's as dumb as people think. I think she's constantly drunk and/or high, and decades of people just handing her jobs and positions has created an insane entitlement to things without preparing for them.

Meh, typical psyop shit you see in the invisible primary for 2028.
SC being the first state gives Kamala a big advantage if she runs and with her name recognition, donors don't really have a veto in her case. She could probably get enough from small donors at this point to run for the early and cheap states at least. Then momentum starts to become an issue for competitors.
So, the pressure from those that don't want a redo of 2024 has to be news hits early on to persuade Kamala that the heat is too much for her if she tries to run again.

I don't think it's possible to guess what Thune wants because of the makeup of the Senate and the fact that 5 of the worst GOP senators are leaving office this year (Mitch, Ernst, Cassidy, Cornyn, and Thillis). And then you have Murkowski, who's really just a Democrat.
If he really, really wanted, say, the SAVE Act passed, what could he do to those six Senators to convince them to vote for it?
Or, he could be using them as a shield to not do anything, but Thune did get the OBBB passed with the DHS funding and appropriated through 2028, including cutting off illegals from a host of federal welfare programs like SNAP.
If, with a reshapen majority next year, Thune still can't pass the SAVE Act, I'd place the blame on him.

Because they believe she is the "secret nurse" of Trump, the one that carries his diaper bags and cleans him when he shits all over himself.
So it's not that they want to smear with an affair--they want to try to get other people looking at her so they can spring their 10,000th iteration of "Trump has dementia!!"
It's so very stupid.

Not sure that big donors are going to be as useful going forward. I think a lot of the ActBlue and WinRed (Thune and a few others) smurfing is coming from recycled big donor contributions that would be over the limit. And foreign funding as well.
Expect a lot of stories and investigations to start dropping post election over these. Latest example, an 88 year old woman who says she never donated the $150k that Act Blue says she did in over 14000 separate donations over five years. That would require 8 donations per day, every day, for five years.

Harris has taken steps that would enable a third presidential run, and some donors have directly told her another bid would be a long shot
The only thing that matters in 2028 is that Democrats win. And that once they win they use that power to unfuck everything that’s happened whilst punishing everyone responsible for their crimes.
Sorry, but it probably needs to be a 40-60-year-old ish white, heterosexual male, ideally with military service and of Christian faith.
As depressing as it is, America might just be too fucking backwards at this point for \~30% of the population to vote for a woman, poc, atheist or gay president.
Hope I am wrong and AOC or Pete or someone else revolutionary win in a landslide and shake things up!
IMO, those two things are mutually exclusive. Anybody milquetoast enough to be "vote for me to bring back normal" is not strong enough to unfuck everything that's happened, let alone punish anyone responsible.
We have never once run an actual charismatic progressive. Not a single time. No one has any idea what would happen if we did.

After Hilary, Biden, Kam and Walz, would the party reject them as not being woke enough?
Sickening. Maybe the next presidental candidate will be a trans? That's all that's missing with alcoholics, dementia and ghey weird governors from MN. Walz may be a trans for all I know as he loves them so much, especially illegal alien trans!
Perhaps that trans looking governor from Maine should run? I would run fast from that freakoid if I saw her in the wild. I don't care that she has a family as dat's a man, baby.

The media environment on the left will kill anyone running for a prominent Democrat in the primary position who says heterodox things about a host of issues. Immigration for sure. Israel probably now. Trans-stuff, though less important now than a few years ago.
General election, they can hedge, but not the primary.
It's woke or out at this point.

I may get willowed, so I'll repost later. Campaigning takes a lot of work. I've got a small but great team volunteering their time, but I'm spending 8-10 hours a day either coming up with content, making short videos with my cellphone at various locations, etc. I must say that I have a new respect for politicians that look smooth in front of a camera. I'm reading handmade cue cards for my talks, and it shows sometimes.
I received my $25K from the state, and I've got three weeks to spend it. I only have time for 2 mailers for my three towns, and I'm learning to lean into social for the rest. The debate gave us a lot of positive momentum. I'm speaking at the Weston RTC tonight, so we'll see how that goes. Republicans as a whole are very beaten up here, so the challenge is to give them a reason to turn out. Not easy at all.
Staying positive, however. I really think I can win this.

Progressivism is strangely anti-charisma at its core. It's a LARP of revolution. Charisma requires a certain ease, or comfort, to be instilled in the mark. Like how a con man would.
Revolution requires the opposite. You can't be charismatic when you're trying to convince your mark that everything is fucked and hope is lost and the only option left is to burn shit down and support a complete nobody outsider who has nothing to do with any of this mess.

UK Prime Cuck Andy Burnham: Iran's Terrorist Army the IRGC Was "Almost Certainly" Behind the Seven Shirtless Men Casing the Air Force Base
Tell me something I didn't already know, Cuck.
Eric DaughertyVideo below the fold. Duane Patterson runs down Iran's collapsing economy. As mentioned here earlier, there are 19 stranded Iranian shadow fleet tankers off the coast of Sri Lanka. They cannot return to Iran because they'll get blowed up. So they're just sitting idle -- and running out of food, water, and fuel. US pressured Sri Lanka to not permit any refueling or refreshing. Sri Lanka now says it will not aid the stranded shadow tankers:
@EricLDaugh 23h 🚨 IT'S OFFICIAL: The attempted terrorist attack on RAF Fairford base in the UK -- used by AMERICAN TROOPS and jets -- was almost certainly directed by IRAN and the IRGC, per UK PM Burnham AND THERE IT IS. Yet the suspects are RELEASED by UK police. Why are they not IN CUFFS right now?! President Trump said immediately after the first arrests that the US was watching the potential plot Clearly the US-UK knew about it before...yet the UK released the suspects Either something is being hidden from the public or those suspects need to be re-arrested IMMEDIATELY! The barbarians are inside the gates. The UK needs to wake up.
️Sri Lankan government:
We have no plan to help 19 Iranian ships anchored in international waters near the country and facing shortages of water, food and fuel https://t.co/CMqinVsScP— Open Source Intel (@Osint613) October 9, 2026Back to the UK Prime Cuck: Burnham is negotiating to undo Brexit and rejoin the EU. He previously claimed he wouldn't do this. Whoops, I did that thing in your mouth I said I wouldn't do. Don't worry, though -- he says that rejoining the EU " " " might " " " help him stop the unchecked mass migration he's currently allowing for no reason. As you know, the EU is really strong on border enforcement. Oh wait, no it's not -- it seeks to dissolve all borders.
The Iran Watcher
@TheIranWatcher Trump is working with Turkey and Pakistan to complete the land blockade of the Islamic Republic by shutting its last major overland trade routes. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says the United States is targeting the regime's overland trade routes while pursuing the seizure of roughly $1 billion in Iranian cryptocurrency assets. The pressure is closing in from every direction: 1️⃣ Before the war, more than 80% of Iran's trade moved by sea. The American blockade forced the regime to depend on slower and far less capable land corridors. 2️⃣ Pakistan became the eastern escape route, opening six transit corridors connecting Karachi, Port Qasim and Gwadar to Iranian border crossings. These routes helped move stranded cargo around the maritime blockade. 3️⃣ Turkey remains the regime's main western gateway toward Europe and an important source of manufactured goods. Iranian trucks are already facing severe congestion, long delays and spoiled cargo at the border. 4️⃣ Neither corridor can replace maritime trade. Ships carry thousands of containers at once, while roads and railways remain constrained by weak infrastructure, border queues and limited capacity. 5️⃣ The United States holds far greater economic leverage. Turkey conducts roughly $35--45 billion in annual trade with the United States, compared with around $5--8 billion with Iran. The United States is also Pakistan's largest export market, while formal Pakistan--Iran trade remains only a few billion dollars. 6️⃣ The historical reversal is striking. Iran, Pakistan and Turkey were once partners in CENTO and later built regional economic institutions together. They are now being drawn into the campaign isolating the Islamic Republic. Closing these corridors would squeeze the regime from both sides. Oil revenue is already being strangled at sea, while machinery, industrial parts, medicine and consumer goods increasingly depend on congested land crossings. The cryptocurrency seizure adds another layer. The regime is running out of ways to move goods or conceal money without encountering American pressure. Pakistan and Turkey may preserve limited trade for their own interests, but neither has an economic reason to sacrifice its far more valuable access to the United States and the global financial system to rescue the Islamic Republic. The regime's remaining escape routes are no longer lifelines. They are pressure points the United States is now moving to close.
He replied: "The loss of immigration control has come with the inability now to access data across the European Union... we are in a weaker position when it comes to controlling immigration."So he means he wants to rejoin the EU to check their fingerprint files to exclude -- maybe -- known terrorists, while otherwise letting everyone else in.

The greatest weapon the Brits had from the Napoleonic War to WWII was the air of the invincible spy service. It supposedly knew everything and had greater penetration than Moriarty's web of spies.
They didn't, they had great contacts and contractors who took their money to do their own thing, and lots of Brits tied into the local economies who were willing to bribe, but they were never omnipotent. They were willing to trim their sails and direction when they got to a problem they couldn't solve, or a gambit that blew up in their faces.

A couple of theories were kicked around about that event.
1 - Thwarted fuel theft
2 - Inadvertent interruption of a sting
3 - Thwarted dry run of an Iranian terror attempt
4 - Inadvertent interruption of a UK training op
Have there been any others, specifically any that would justify releasing those guys? Or were the cops' hands tied because they didn't have whatever they need in the UK to detain suspects?

One drone with a grenade tapped to the underside hits a vessel, leaves a black mark that will wash away in the next rain, and it counts as hit.

I actually like MS Teams. A lot of people who don't like it, don't seem to know how to really use it.
For example, I've stopped going to Teams meetings where I'm not presenting or expected to actively participate... I'll just get the AI generated recaps and notes. Taking an hour of my time sitting through a stupid meeting by IT to go over a new data product access request process and condensing it into something that takes me about a minute and a half to read is just awesome. The feature is even more useful when you've been on vacation and missed a week or more of meetings.

The Administration's diesel purchase agreement with Russia pulled up all sorts of blather, with focus being "what about Ukraine????"
But I think the bigger story is how hard of a hit Iran took when Russia signed on to the oil deal. The US made a decision to throw a lifeline to Russia (and the GOP chances in the midterm) and, by doing so, squeeze the living crap out of the Persians by easing the energy sector pain in the West with diesel imports from secure ports.

It is worse than that, it was not aimed at Iran at all. It is most likely aimed at destroying the price setting function of the commodity traders who are pricing oil and diesel at levels that have more to do with their monopoly on trades, and not so much on availability of product.
This is what Trump is doing with US beef, by the way, by developing producer to market routes directly from producer to consumer without going through the brokers first

Natives are basically Somalis: thieves, fraudsters, and criminals lorded over by an elite cast of even bigger thieves, fraudsters, and criminals who prey on their own as well as on the White Man.
The casino model works well for them because it's the ultimate in mafia-style criminality.
I'm not sure the natives have the will or the ability to build and run refineries.

ATT did have its fiber rounter preconfigured with unchangeable DNS (in part so they can track and sell your internet traffic to others). Going to a real (not the fake free ones that commoditize your web traffic to sell at best) VPN encrypts your traffic to and fro and sends it to its own set of DNS name servers.
Another route is to put a router behind the ATT fiber optic one and use different DNS settings. Cloudfare has DNS servers with traffic back and forth encrypted to it. Google has its own DNS servers that are free to use as do a few other big outfits.

Possible, but tricky to do on tribal lands and with tribes do to tax issues, sovereignty, and federal regs.
I think something like a refinery would still have to go through all the hoops in terms of federal review as any other refinery.
Tribes have sovereignty and extensive control over their territories, but it's not like they can build a nuclear reactor without substantial federal oversight.

You would be correct. Chevron deference was named for a refinery case involving EPA interpretation of the Clean Air Act. Refineries are huge emitters of air and water pollutants and many of these like benzene have been implicated as cancer causing among other things.
Also you need refineries to be close to the oil fields, ports nearby, or rely on crude oil pipeline networks for feed stock.

Indians only became involved in Casino whoring when politicians and casino makers decided that legalizing gambling was too risky so they found some dubious workaround by claiming "Indian Lands" were outside state jurisdiction. Same with the "Riverboat" casinos in Mid America which had archaic laws that said riverboats docked at a port weren't subject for anti gambling laws. So they started building "Riverboats" that were thicker than the river itself that could never move. They finally drew a line when a racetrack tried to dig a pit in his parking lot, stick a "lakeboat" in it and insert a casino.

I may get Willowed, so I'll repost later. Campaigning takes a lot of work. I've got a small but great team volunteering their time, but I'm spending 8-10 hours a day either coming up with content, making short videos with my cellphone at various locations, etc. I must say that I have a new respect for politicians that look smooth in front of a camera. I'm reading handmade cue cards for my talks, and it shows sometimes.
I received my $25K from the state, and I've got three weeks to spend it. I only have time for 2 mailers for my three towns, and I'm learning to lean into social for the rest. The debate gave us a lot of positive momentum. I'm speaking at the Weston RTC tonight, so we'll see how that goes. Republicans as a whole are very beaten up here, so the challenge is to give them a reason to turn out. Not easy at all.
Staying positive, however. I really think I can win this.

Former Fox Host and Wife of Grifter Gavin Newsom, Kimberly Guilfoyle, Resigns as Ambassador to Greece After Caught Asking for $100,000
Once a grifter...
Allegedly -- and recent news seems to confirm it -- she demanded a political donor pay off her $100,000 in credit card debt. Apparently she just didn't want anyone asking about her debt during confirmation hearings. So... she decided that demanding a Trump donor give her $100,000 was the less-perilous route.Kimberly Guilfoyle was preparing for her congressional hearing to become U.S. ambassador to Greece when she reached out to a Trump donor with an urgent request: She needed $100,000 that she said she owed American Express--in a way that wouldn't leave a paper trail. "It won't show up anywhere if you wire money to American Express," she wrote on Signal, according to messages reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. "Please."The grifting was too griftacious and now she'll be shaking her tin cup in the private sector.
U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle on Tuesday confirmed her departure from the position in a social media post in which she said that her time in the role was "coming to an end." The White House announced that it had asked her to leave on Tuesday morning, amid a scandal involving her allegedly seeking $100,000 to pay off a credit card bill. ... "While my time as Ambassador may be coming to an end, my commitment to President Trump, the America First movement, and the country I love will never end," she added. Guilfoyle also denied the allegations against her, saying they are "false" and that she would "vigorously defend my name, my reputation, and my integrity."Whatever, Kimmy. Trump asked her to resign, which is just a firing with extra steps.
🚨 BREAKING: President Trump has asked Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle to RESIGN, @KatieZacharia announced

The duck lips alone from fillers deformed her entire face.
I think President Trump sent her to Greece after Jr. broke up with her to keep her at a distance. She had good ideas and comments on FOX and, I guess, is a conservative.
Most ambassadorships are gravy train for people who know a president. Look at Caroline Kennedy being sent to Japan! She can't speak two sentences with any substance. G. abused her powers apparently and lived like a queen in Greece, with apparently strange decisions.
She also, from what I've read, seems a bit angry and vindictive over Jr. getting a new wife. This led to the split of their home in Jupiter Beach, FL...which is a gorgeous place, by the way. I'm sure this was not pleasant.
He was foolish to buy this house with her when they were, I guess, engaged.

Well-known billionaires trying to solicit rando street whores for blowjobs.
There are more than a few cases of hotshot lawyers throwing away tens of millions of dollars by falsifying a few restaurant reimbursements.
In Guilfoyle's case here, it seems that she wasn't the ambassador yet. The whole thing was to clean up her financials so it looked better at the confirmation hearings. She probably thought she had little to lose at that point, and the gig was worth it.
Odd this happened years ago and we are only now finding out about it.

Italians were considered legally "white" from the beginning.
But I agree they got a bad public rap in part because there was an early wave of immigration from southern france and sicily where the native complexions are ... swarthy. Lots of moorish blood there.

I hardly remember what she looked like pre-fillers/botox/implants, etc.
However, aging naturally is better after seeing stars like Meg Ryan ruin their faces. To keep young for roles, I guess. Duck lips for others make no sense unless they have an complex.
From what I read, stupid women start getting Botox poison and fillers younger and younger. Weird, expensive and not healthy in my totally natural world. Then you have to maintain and get them forever, so I read.
Plastic surgeons and derms win...with the added bonuses of lasering tattoos no longer wanted.
I always felt a filler would migrate somewhere I wouldn't want it to, like a lump on my forehead similar to Harry the Whiner Prince's forehead lipoma.
I don't need fillers as my lips were mocked often for being big by my brother as a teen (now I still have them, thankfully, who knew it was a good thing?).
I also know someone who's boobs were ruined by getting implants in her 40's.
I go to a salon to highlight my blonde hair, which is as far as it goes for anything fake with me.

"In 1940, at the age of 12, Shirley Temple had a meeting with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer producer, Arthur Freed, where he exposed himself to her. After seeing her nervously giggle, Freed threw Temple out of his office. This deplorable man would go on to produce wildly successful films such as Singin' In The Rain, The Wizard of Oz, an American in Paris,and Annie Get Your Gun.
Being a known, bold pedophile did little to lessen your reputation or professional success in early Hollywood. Years later, at the age of 17, Temple was made a victim again when producer David O. Selznik of Selznik International Pictures, attempted to sexually assault her. She was fortunately able to escape this ordeal unscathed, but this was not the last time she would have to deal with the pigs of Hollywood."

The MOH's derm sent me that afternoon to a plastic surgeon for the hole. I was in a state of shock with my husband. I'd never had as much as a pimple on my cheek. To cover the hole they put two incisions into that cheek and yanked the skin up.
Healed well, and you have to look closely to see the scars...and I don't wear foundation to begin with.
Horrific in both ego and the wound care my dude provided for weeks, assuring me it would be ok. Then I had a laser treatment to the scar, which was also hideous to itch and hurt at the same time.
I said, "I can't believe people pay to have their entire faces lasered with CO2!" It was hideous, but it did possibly improve the scar. I guess?
All this said in question as to why anyone would want plastic surgery unless you were naturally not pretty, had a hook or potato nose, and/or did not go through a windshield.

Criminal Non-Performance art is not exclusive to the GOP, Democrats, nor the US.
There is a reason that the old school GOPe senators don't want voter id. And it is most probable that these pieces of excrement in human form cheat too, particularly in the primaries with fake votes.
Filibuster is a side issue, as Mike Lee has shown (and the US Civil Rights Act of 1964) did, you can require a regular talking filibuster that takes about two to three months and holds the floor preventing all other business. Once all speakers on a bill have spoken twice, then they cannot speak again on the same bill. Exhaust all possible speakers, matter comes for a vote without the filibuster cloture vote involved at all.

Under 40 low overall as well, but you can see it increases with the next two age groups
Pretty clear that voters will be over 40 for this election predominately from trends. Over 65 turnout is massive, Gen X so far just a bit behind. Millennials, Gen Z are not turning out so far compared to 2022.

Scars are part of life. Certainly a part of mine as I've had both early melanoma and basal cell for tanning as a teen...damaging DNA.
My husband loves me, scars and all. He was right in that this facial deal healed well. The plastic surgeon was looking at me and said, sadly, "You will have a scar." Like it didn't dawn on me. It is minimal and barely there as they did a great job.
He later told me my eyes are "stunning." He may say that to all his patients. ha. Regardless, I'm authentic and with the same parts I was born with.
My face is no longer "flawless" as some derms used to say. Whatevah! I'm alive!

Greta Thunberg has travelled to Paris to join the student protests sweeping France.
The Swedish climate activist, 23, joined pupils outside the Paul-Éluard lycée in Saint-Denis, where about 20 lawyers in robes formed a human chain to protect the teenagers from alleged police brutality.
“Our future is being robbed away from us,” Ms Thunberg said, condemning what she described as an “extremely violent” police response.
“They should know that all over the world we are following these developments. We are inspired by the young people who are demanding their basic rights,” she told reporters.
“Whether it’s not funding schools enough, or the climate crisis, or social injustice crises… it’s about time that young people are stepping up and reclaiming that future.”

The Mystery of the Talarico Disappearance
There's a lot of speculation going on, which, unlike in the case of the Charlie Kirk murder, is completely justified because we have a legitimate mystery which James Talarico refuses to resolve himself.
I say it's the AIDS Crazies, but other people have their own theories. The big theory is, of course, that James Talarico had a mental health crisis and checked himself in to an Ohio mental health facility. Is there evidence for this? Well, some. A private plane flew from Austin to an airfield close by the Lindner Center of Hope in Mason, Ohio. Which itself is interesting because that mental health facility was used by one of Talarico's friends and close political supporters.Caroline WrenOf course, the big huge evidence is that reporters called the mental health facility in question and a representative there confirmed Talarico had been treated there, but had just been released. Now the hospital is denying this, but the original admission is on audiotape, and one can imagine that if they unwisely disclosed Talarico's presence there they would have to scramble to deny it due to rules about patient confidentiality.
@CarolineWren
What are the chances that a private plane took off from Austin and flew to tiny Hamilton airport in Ohio which is 20 mins from the Lindner Center, a private inpatient mental health treatment facility, and then turned around and flew back to Austin landing yesterday morning at 10:24am right before James Talarico magically reappears at the Austin City Limits music festival that afternoon? Lindner Center also happens to be the same facility that Talarico's good friend and Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo spent 7 weeks in when she had a mental breakdown 3 years ago...
The nation's Democrat Propaganda Outfit of Record says trust us, we have secret evidence we can't share that Talarico has just been at home for some of these past 12 days. There are many problems here: 1, that doesn't prove that he didn't check himself into a mental health facility. Even taking that as true, we could only conclude he wasn't at a mental health facility for 8 of the 12 days. Self check-ins to mental health facilities are often short stays of 48 hours or 72 hours, my extensive experience in reading detective fiction tells me. 2, this "evidence" is shared by intense partisans -- the campaign itself -- and cannot be trusted. Nor can the intense partisans at the NYT, who will not share the information. 3, even if the claim were true, that would not explain why a 37 year old "man" disappears from the campaign trail for 12 straight days in the closing hours of the campaign to make photo collages and put together his own look books. 4, another reporter says it's not true, and no one has seen anyone at Talarico's home since the disappearance:
Talarico's own claims are varied and contradictory:
James Talarico 2 weeks ago: “I went to the urgent care here in Dallas.”
Now he’s saying he only visited his primary care physician. What is Talarico hiding? https://t.co/eYvL9Ynprt— RNC Research (@RNCResearch) October 11, 2026
I didn’t make up anything. Talarico bailed for 12+ days in the middle of the most important campaign in the country and his campaign handled it like a bunch of novices who were covering something up. Grown men don’t disappear like that.
He must explain himself. You can’t fix this for him, sorry.— Andrew Kolvet (@AndrewKolvet) October 12, 2026
ShipwreckedcrewIs there evidence he employs an army of paid bots and influencers? Why yes there is!
@shipwreckedcrew The Memo has gone out to the Lib Influencers: "Knock this story down by posting that everyone is going to get sued for posting rumors about Talarico." Hey Libs -- it would not be so hard to decipher your coordinated messaging if you all could resist the urge to post the same thing at the same time. "Coordinated Messaging" = False = Propaganda.
Paul A. Szypula 🇺🇸
@Bubblebathgirl As if Talarico's campaign isn't already having a bad day, a New York Times report released Sunday says dozens of TikTok accounts were paid $4 per 1,000 views to post positive clips about him. The company behind the payments is Frontier Media. Naturally his campaign says it had nothing to do with it. The money Frontier Media used to pay for pro-Talarico social content had to come from somewhere. These paid "clippers" weren't a tiny side effort. They accounted for nearly a quarter of the Talarico-related videos the Times looked at in a 24-hour window. The money's source is still unclear and Frontier Media has no visible FEC filings. The campaign's denial is noted, but the volume of paid content is not. Follow the money is the obvious course of action. Between today's blockbuster mental health facility claims and now this NYT article on paid support for Talarico, it's unthinkable that his campaign survives the week let alone a debate or election. Organic support is one thing. A network of accounts getting paid by the view to flood the platform with positive clips is another. Voters can tell the difference. The appearance of a spontaneous online army collapses once the payments are documented. That's what the Times just did. It should be mentioned that a man in the U.S. just got sentenced to jail for artificially creating consumption of his AI songs on streaming services. There should be similar penalties for artificially creating support for a political candidate, without disclosing it, on social media. The fraud is for profit. In the streaming case financially, in the Talarico case politically and also financially. Both are clearly immoral and should be criminal.

How can he be well enough to work every day -- even if just low-effort paper-pushing -- but not well enough for a zoom call, a phone call, or even a social media post? That makes no sense at all.

The holes in this one were evident pretty quickly. Now the big question is will there be lawsuits in response?
It's obvious BS. If Talarico had actually had a mental breakdown, why would he go to Ohio for treatment and not, say, anywhere in his home state? Why wouldn’t he simply have someone come to him?
MAGA are so scared and desperate. Shall we send them a fruit basket??
Nah, send them a basket of dildos. Just like people did to those fucks that took over that wildlife refuge in Oregon. That was awesome, the whiny little fucks had to beg people to stop sending them dildos.
Lies are about all they’ve got left… Well… That and voter intimidation and post-vote ballot seizures…
The last three political candidates with clear, demonstable mental issues--Feinstein, Fetterman, and Trump--won their elections, so I'm not sure this is really the attack angle the Republicans think it is...
Legally it IS libel, and they're in "Carol Burnett" territory. (National Enquirer published a malicious and provably false libel, she took them to court **and won.**)

I still return to people calling a stomach virus or a regular cold "flu." If it was "real" flu (Influenza A or B) there has been a drug, Tamiflu, for decades. This shortens the length of illness and blunts side effects.
Twelve days for influenza? Nah. It used to be (pre-covid) a week. With lingering cough that can possibly then lead to mycoplasma and "walking pneumonia" as a secondary infection.
I say pre-covid as I believe this is in every infection now and the common cold of 7days goes longer. Another of my theories due to observing it with family and myself. Making me hate the chy knee more often for their man made plandemic.
If he had the shigella ghey shites, I am unsure the duration of that without antibiotics. However, altho I am reading it can be antibiotic resistant, there are antibiotics for regular shigella shites.
I still prefer the grocery store raciss story of him calling a black youth a n and some other stuff. Because the boy would not let him ahead in line, with King T. only having two items. This would destroy his election.
Regardless, something stinks in TallyRico's stories. It could be his underwear.

I think he's just a weak-willed millennial (I am a millennial as well) who is not used to serious work like months' long campaigning and just decided to take a break. Whether that was at his home because of "the flu" or whether he did go to Ohio for the mental health break, it doesn't matter.
He also probably knows that he has no chance and has known for a while, so all the hard work felt pointless. Why not just take a few days?

... in a hospital having emergency surgery.
That seems the only explanation for why he would literally disappear for two weeks. Even if he was in the looney bin, they could have staged some kind of zoom call or something as proof of life.
But even as calls grew for "where's James?" he still stayed hidden. Why? Why couldn't the gimp at least make a zoom call?

********
HIPPA law clearly states that unless the facility had Telerico's consent, his name should not have been given by phone or discussed as him being a patient there.
When trauma's enter the ED they are given a code name. My job as a RN case manager was to contact family after the police or hwy patrol gave me the ID. I was present in the trauma room when the patient arrived. They are then entered into the computer system with their real names. Large screens in ED's, for decades, have been hidden from public view and for staff use only. If a staff member is not in direct patient care with a patient they can be fired for looking at the records. This happens with famous people as patients and nosy staff look...which then targets them with IT, and they are fired.
The lady who answered the phone, as of yesterday, was fired, no doubt. Of course they are going to lie about it as it is federal law. On top of lawsuits they can lose licensure and Medicare/Medicaid status from Joint Commission.

Veteran political journalist Jim Acosta said Monday that President Donald Trump has revealed a "25th Amendment crisis" on the country's hands as he stumps for Republicans in formerly safe districts.
Acosta joined former Republican lawyer George Conway on the debut episode of his podcast, "Psycho Politics," where the two reacted to some of the comments Trump has made during his recent rallies. They played a clip of the president boasting to a crowd, "I could say the stupidest things, and you would clap."

He is not going to lose the black vote. The black vote is partisan in general elections.
However, it's not going to help with his turnout issues with black voters. Jasmine keeps signalling to them that they don't need to support him because of his racist campaign against here and that he's such a mediocre white man (no lies detected), and I think she's just voicing what the black electorate in Texas (and perhaps further afield) already feels about candidates they didn't choose as a racial bloc this cycle.
Talarico will win 85% of the black vote.
But it'll be 11% of the electorate instead of 13%.

That's not how it works.
The flu almost always comes from China. It's because they have pig farmers who basically cohabitate with their pigs. CDC and other groups keep track of infections in the region.
At any given time, there are three or four different variants floating around in the population. These variants aren't the same each year. They use this information to try to predict which variant is going to be the predominant one that takes off and jumps to the US. Then they spin up the flu shot production process for that variant.
Sometimes they're right, sometimes not.

In fact, I would bet it's basically SOP for these influencers.
I think it's high time advertisers filed class actions against these platforms for defrauding ad-buyers to the tune of billions. They know what's going on and give it a hand-wave. The fraud helps their balance sheets. X, YT, etc. should be made to pay up, of course, but also forced to provide transparency for pricing purposes.
That would be enlightening.

Also the rides usually have backup restraints. Those big horseshoe restraints they clamp down on you are also held down by a manual clasp. But shit happens.
You know what Kingda Ka ride at 6F in NJ? Every once in a while the car train doesn't have enough momentum to get over the high crest. So the train ... rolls back down backwards.

He's a really fat guy, getting accelerated maybe around 40 to 50 miles an hour, lateral change of direction - he isn't physically strong enough to hold himself in - because of the mass times acceleration thingy - hmm.
I guess that could happen. I mean, though, haven't an epic amount of fat people have ridden that thing before him and not gone flying off?????
So, I guess I'm still dubious.

Couple of things; it's not a hospital, and there appears to be two companies involved. The "Linder Center for HOPE" is one, and another is "Lindner Center of Hope Professional Associates," a separate 501c3. The LCforH does not list treatment in their filing, the LCofHPA does. If the 'administrator' worked for the facility not the treatment company, she may not be under HIPAA.

I love you guys but get weary post covid of reading about the war of regular injections.
I have mild asthma if I get a cold since the minor lung damage in the 80's from Influenza B.
Non of the shots since has bothered me in any way. I also have never gotten the flu since.
This is why it's my choice and I don't care and freely admit it. I also got the Tdap when our first grandson was born (pre-covid). No problems and it was recommended to protect him.
Big deal. Not mRNA, which I would never have. Believe me I check and if all goes to mRNA I will stop. Until then I carry on and will get the dam shot once I am over this sinus thing.

It looks like a bad design for heavy riders. If you're slimmer, that device is going to fit around your hips and clamp down. But if you're big, you'll need to really press down for that device to clamp around skeletal structure. If you don't press down enough, there's going to be room for your body to move when enough G-forces are pushing you around.

it occurs to me that he was riding with his son - maybe he was too fat but begged them to let him go with his son, who was afraid to ride alone? I have seen situations like this before!
with height (me) it's you make it or you don't lol. but with size? even a scale wouldn't necessarily "work" - you'd have to just say as a worker "hey sorry um..."

Pretty standard design for coasters that don't go upside down. But ... that thing should have a mechanical strap that holds the harness close to the body.
I'll bet the guy's restraint was never properly closed because he was too big, and it therefore didn't "lock" in place.

It's a dead virus and if it was immediate she was already exposed.
If she got it months later it is not 100% but I take it anyway in hopes it won't put me and my wonky lungs in the hospital. Again, I made this decision in the late '80's seeing how sick I got with a secondary mycoplasma infection right after the "real" flu of 104 degrees and missing a week of work. It was felt to be safe then by doctors I trusted.
I 1000% believe mRNA changes DNA and people have died from the covid vax.
If the UV rays of the sun changes DNA to give you cancer, I am not putting mRNA in my body.
I totally agree with being anti-mRNA and wish it was gone forevermore.

1. No matter what the law says, there is an insane amount of intake paperwork and it doesn't get put into the system immediately. I have been told by a receptionist that Pooky is not a patient, despite a phone call from his doctor telling me where he was *and* Pooky signing a "Yes, you can tell people I'm here" form.
2. A minimum of 72 hours is a standard stay not just because of the law, but so you can get at least one good night of sleep. (Sooooo many mental issues are aggravated by lack of sleep.) Private institutions get antsy if you stay more than 72 hours because then they have to justify things to insurance companies. The VA is its own insurance company, so they will keep you as long as they think you need it, and afterward, you go to outpatient programs.

The Morning Rant
The ten states, including the District of Columbia, that had the highest rate of mental illness in 2023 to 2024 included: Oregon (31.6 percent), Vermont (29.1 percent), Washington, DC (29 percent), West Virginia (28.1 percent), Washington state (27.9 percent), New Hampshire (27.7 percent), Tennessee (27 percent), Maine (26.7 percent), Utah (26.7 percent), and Arkansas (26.6 percent).Show me the comparison between voting tendencies, self-proclaimed "gender," and mental illness! But... I think we all have a pretty good idea what that will tell us. Blue cities are far crazier than red rural areas. That's a guess, but I'll wager I am correct.

While there are 13 categories for Child with a Disability, all understandable.
But then there is also:
"PA schools: Emotional disturbance is defined at 34 CFR § 300.8(c)(4) as:
An inability to learn that cannot be explained by intellectual, sensory, or health factors.
An inability to build or maintain satisfactory interpersonal relationships with peers and teachers.
Inappropriate types of behavior or feelings under normal circumstances.
A general pervasive mood of unhappiness or depression.
A tendency to develop physical symptoms or fears associated with personal or school problems.
If a child is identified by a school district as "thought-to-be" disabled and in possible need of specially designed instruction under IDEA and Chapter 14, the district should move forward with a special education evaluation under IDEA and 22 PA Code Chapter 14."

A Washington think tank whose immigration program receives Soros funding has identified hundreds of American counties as destinations for migrants. 96.5% of selected counties are majority White .
Residents would have no say.
Its November 2025 immigration blueprint urges policymakers to “enable local governments and private entities to sponsor immigrants directly.” It also proposes state visa programs and “incentivizing new arrivals to stay in specific states and regions.”

well its not like either of your are wrong -
torturing the analogy further - there are some people with impaired immune systems who get sick quite a bit more than others. I suspect those with chronic mental health issues, have a system that makes them less resilient. Because its mental health, that system isn't just between your ears. It is also who and what you are around and what you put into your brain.
Most people suffer from depression, anxiety, obsessions (boobs) compulsions (Admiral Akbar) stuff like that but are functional or self limited. Others simply can't function without their obsession taking over their lives (Prometheus). Its a matter of degree, as with most things. Moderation in all things my fellow morons.

EV analysis is particular. You have to slice and dice and compare correctly to get anything predictive out of the numbers.
What I've seen across a handful of states that have started is a smaller base of leftists exhausting themselves out early through mail and early in person voting followed by steady work by Republicans to drive their numbers up.
EV tends to be won by Democrats in general (it's just voting behavior, akin to Democrats always winning Jackson, Mississippi) which doesn't mean that Democrats are suddenly winning. They won EV in 2024 and 2022 as well. But, election day trends heavily Republican and has since early voting started decades ago.
The margins Dems have tend to be smaller by % this year and with lower overall turnout.
You would not expect that in a blue wave election.

Some years ago, they changed the on-ramp near here...it used to be that the lane was the on-ramp to the next exit as well, but they "widened" the freeway and turned it into TWO lanes you had to merge out of in order to get to the freeway, with both the lanes on the right leading to the off-ramp. Lots more accidents after that change.
At least it wasn't changing a two-lane residential street into a two-way/one-lane residential street with two bike lanes...

I almost got into 3 accidents this morning. People need to learn the fuck how to merge onto a freeway. You don't get to the end of the on ramp and then test the waters by trying to edge out.
You hit the end of the on ramp like them dropping the green flag at Indy. You should be doing the speed limit +-5 mph by the end.

Psychotherapist had a meeting for people with excessive compulsions...this one for mothers with their children.
To the first woman he says, "You have a compulsion for sweets. You even named your daughter Candy."
To the second woman, "You have a compulsion for money, even naming your daughter Penny."
At this, the third woman gets, up, and says to her child, "C'mon Dick, we're leaving!"

I've had people come to a complete stop on the onramp.
I will say though that at least in my AO we people on the highway also try to block people from merging on.
As the person in the right hand lane you can see better then the merger. Either speed up or slow down so they can get in. Yes that means paying attention to the road instead of texting, doing your hair, or eating a salad.

That is mental illness. I hadn't much contact with those struggling with mental illness until I had tucked a number of decades under my belt. I still don't really understand why things become pathologic for some people and not others. I don't think they are faking it. I have seen real pain, desperation even. I don't, for the life of me, understand it. To me its like -well just stop thinking that, or stop doing that or whatever. But just because the nature of the problem for some people exceeds my ability to grasp it, doesn't mean it isn't real. There's a shit ton of stuff I don't know.

It had been raining and he either didn't know how to drive in rain or had shitty tires. Either way as we went around a turn the car went into a spin skid...off the road.
As the car starting spinning in midair I figured I was about to die. It did a full 360 and after falling for a few feet it hit the ground...on to a feeder road that went back to the highway with us not only landing on it perfectly but driving in the correct direction. I assume this destroyed his shocks and maybe damaged his undercarriage but on one was hurt and the car still worked fine...

Many moons ago my wife had knee surgery and she legit got a handicap sticker for the recovery. Problem was the thing was valid for 3 years. Her recovery was something like 6 weeks. She stretched out the use of the sticker to maybe 3 months. Then she said fuck it Karma and all that and stopped using it.
However. I’m sure many unscrupulous people in her situation used it for the full 3 years. Probably renewed it too.

Ours is/was pretty low but not that low. Yes, we could have theoretically kept on investing what we paid off today and come out a little ahead but the peace of mind and not having that recurring payment every month was worth it, as we found ourselves in a spot where we had the liquid assets to just be done with it.
I understand the monetary arguments, but in the end they lost to "let's be done with this shit."

You don't pull in diagonal, or all the way on one side so when you open the door it swing well into the adjacent parking spot.
This is a yuge anger point for me as my car is very wide. No matter how or where I park -- even if I deliberately park well away in a spot not next to any other cars -- some fucknugget will always park right next to me. Do they not see that I don't want anyone parking next to me???

I like the way that the freeways are set up in much of Texas, with parallel frontage roads on either side that go for miles. If the freeway grinds to a near-halt, you can bail onto a frontage road, and maintain a decent 30 mph or so, including stops for lights.
In the Phoenix metro area, the freeways don't have frontage roads as such, but the valley is well-gridded with major 4-lane roads in both E-W and N-S alignments, so if the freeway shuts down, you can bail off onto a crossroad, follow it to the next major through road headed in your direction, and follow that (which is exactly what signs direct you to do when a section of freeway is closed for road repairs

The faces of the people in them look so similar they could be siblings.
This one is a brother and sister, because they look like the same face except the girl's is more feminine.

So, the lovely and apparently star-struck Mrs naturalfake wanted to see the new Tom Cruise movie, "Digger" and off we went to the Cineplex.
The movie itself is not very good, however it does have the germ of an interesting idea.
The problem really is three fold;
1) Despite gassing on and on about satire, the writer, director and stars(?) have no idea what satire is. At. All.
2)It indulges all of the progtard/DEI hate totems it can, and makes the movie messy and unfunny.
3) The movie actually has a pretty good climax were it structure differently with TC's big speech, which might've made a good satirical ending if properly followed up on. Buuuuut, the movie wants to push Greeny revenge, guilt and hate. Again unfunny and not satire.
Pretty much the only reason for this movie to exist is to give Tom Cruise a chance to deliver his own "You can't handle the truth" scene as in "AFew Good Men"
He does a great job with it.
TL/DR Makers should've watched "Dr Starngelove" a few hundred times more, they don't understand satire. A mess you can watch streaming.

The painting is based on a refrain from an old French or Breton song: "Alas, I know a love song, / Sad or happy, each in turn"
A medieval maiden plays a portable keyboard organ, an armor-clad knight listens in quiet contemplation, and Cupid (with arrows slung over his shoulder) slowly pumps the organ's bellows. A border of spring flowers symbolizing love and bitterness frames the foreground. (AI Overview)
Burne-Jones associated the scene with his affair with artist and model Maria Zambaco (1843–1914). As one critic said of this painting, "There is no story: nothing to guess at, but everything to feel." (The Met)

The Morning Report — 10/13 /26
The most likely scenario, multiple people claimed, is that immigration cops are looking into a long-floated rumor that Omar is actually one year older than she has long claimed to be — a tiny detail that may put her citizenship in jeopardy. “The big picture here is a federal judge in Washington, DC, signed off on a search warrant. That means there’s probable cause that a federal crime was committed, and there would be evidence of that crime in the area to be searched, which in this case was Representative Omar’s home,” former assistant US attorney Jonathan Fahey told The Post. Officials from DHS raided the controversial Minnesota congresswoman‘s Washington, DC, home early Monday morning, removing boxes from the residence. . . “This enforcement action is part of an ongoing federal investigation.” the statement concluded. The Post also saw agents carrying boxes out of the residence to government vehicles, one of which was white and marked with a pink X. A defiant Omar took to social media following the raid to announce “I will not be silenced” and called the action “an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement.” But Fahey said it’s not easy for feds to get a DC judge to sign off on a search warrant, especially since DC judges tend to be hostile to the current administration’s whims. . . “For a DC judge to sign off on something that’s 20 years old, you have to say you believe there is current evidence of the crime in her house,” he said. “A judge must have been very convinced.” While feds have kept a tight lip on what they’re expecting to find at the Omar residence, one source who requested anonymity given the politically charged nature of the investigation, suggested it might relate to longstanding, unverified claims that Omar misrepresented her age to get citizenship. Omar claims she received automatic US citizenship in 2000 at age 17, granted to minor-age children of naturalized parents — in this case her father, Nur Said Mohamed Elmi, who fled to the US in 1995 from war-torn Somalia. . . . . . The raid, which began hours before dawn, came just weeks after Border Czar Tom Homan revealed that Omar was under an ongoing “criminal” investigation and DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin stated on a podcast “something’s going to happen” as investigators look into Omar’s broader family migration story. “Generally a search warrant is occurring towards the end of an investigation because you’re building up evidence that led to this search warrant,” said Fahey. “To get to the point of searching a home, you’ve developed a case for a fairly decent period of time.” Controversy has long surrounded Omar’s marriage to her second husband, Ahmed Elmi, a flamboyant, self-described “dirty dandy” rumored to be her brother and currently writing a thesis about “queerphobia in Kenya” at Bristol University in the UK. Multiple sources agreed that DHS isn’t looking into that marriage. For one, the statue of limitations for marriage fraud ran out five years after the couple divorced in 2017.Here are just a few of her highlights/lowlights courtesy of DiscoverTheNetworks.org
Born in Mogadishu, Somalia in 1982 * Daughter of a Communist father who entered the U.S. illegally * Joined the Muslim Students Association in college * Married her own brother to perpetrate immigration fraud and/or student loan fraud while married to another man * Was elected to the Minnesota House of Representatives in November 2016 * Was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2018 * Member of the Congressional Black Caucus & the Congressional Progressive Caucus * Views America as a nation infested with white racism * Supports the “Defund-the-Police” movement * Detests Israel, Jews, and white males * Was involved in ballot-harvesting and ballot-tampering schemes in 2020 * Favors amnesty & a path-to-citizenship for illegal aliens * Was removed from the House Foreign Affairs Committee in 2023A real charmer this one, eh?! Read the full dossier and you'll be projectile vomiting for hours. So, she engaged in incest with her brother and married him. Beyond immigration fraud and gaining citizenship under utterly false pretenses, being perhaps the most preeminent member of the Minnesota Somali immigrant community and an elected national politician, she has got to be up to her eyeballs in the multi-billion dollar fraud schemes that looted the national and Minnesota state treasuries to enrich dozens of her fellow Somalis but no doubt flowed back to Islamic terrorists in Somalia and the rest of the horn of Africa if not elsewhere, to fuel the genocide against Christians, Jews and other non-Muslims there and elsewhere. If there really is any justice in this world, this hideous criminal skank and her entire brood will be removed from our midst. Of course, Minnesota and primarily the Twin Cities being the blue shitholes they are, her replacement will be an Omar replicant, if not in ethnicity and background, then in political beliefs. What the hell happened to my country?! All of that said, sadly, the odds of her facing any real consequences given the nature of our judicial system and its total capture by Leftists, are slim to none, likely none. Just as a refresher, this little recap is from last December but billions are still missing.
A staggering $9 billion may have been stolen in Minnesota’s sprawling social-services scam orchestrated mainly by members of its Somali community — a figure nearly equivalent to the entire economy of Somalia. The enormous new estimate is a nearly nine-fold increase from the swiped $1 billion previously suspected, according to federal prosecutors. It also accounts for roughly half of the $18 billion in total federal funds provided to the Minnesota-run services since 2018, the feds said — as Democratic Gov. Tim Walz continues to take heat for his handling of the debacle. By comparison to the $9 billion figure, Somalia’s entire GDP was under $12 billion last year, according to the World Bank. “Every day, we look under a rock and find a new $50 million fraud scheme.” The scheme saw dozens of people — the vast majority from Minnesota’s Somali community — setting up businesses and non-profits that claimed to provide services such as housing, food or healthcare assistance and then billing the federally funded state programs for the non-existent services. The fraud was so enormous that it went beyond the over-billing tactics typically seen in similar fraud cases and instead saw people setting up entire operations — sometimes coming from out of state — to get in on the goldrush of fraud opportunity, Thompson explained. Charges for six more people allegedly involved in the scheme were announced Thursday, bringing the total number of defendants up to 92. Among the latest defendants were two people who engaged in what Thompson called “fraud tourism” by allegedly travelling from Philadelphia to set up a bogus housing aid program after spotting an opportunity to make “easy money” off Minnesota’s programs. . . Much of the funds were sent overseas or else were spent on luxury cars and other lavish items. So far, 57 people have been convicted. The scheme prompted a White House crackdown on immigration in Minnesota, with President Trump calling Somalis “garbage” and Walz “retarded” in November for the scheme that unfolded largely under his watch.Nearly a year later and the President's assessment is still dead on the money. If only the grifters were dead and the money recovered. Oh well. Elsewhere and in a not entirely unrelated story, of course, securing our borders and protecting our citizens is completely unacceptable!
New York authorities have refused more than 16,000 federal immigration detainer requests involving illegal immigrants accused or convicted of crimes, including homicide, kidnapping and sexual offenses, according to newly released Department of Homeland Security data. The figures, reported Monday by the New York Post, show that municipalities across the Democrat-led state have declined to honor 16,070 Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainers since President Donald Trump returned to office in January 2025. According to DHS, the individuals associated with those requests have accumulated 52,503 criminal charges or convictions, including 131 homicides, 132 kidnappings and 1,017 sexual offenses. The figures have renewed scrutiny of New York’s sanctuary policies, which restrict cooperation between local law enforcement and federal immigration authorities. ICE detainers request that local authorities temporarily hold individuals suspected of immigration violations so federal agents can take them into custody. Sanctuary jurisdictions frequently decline those requests unless specific legal conditions are met.While we're on the subject of racism:
The CROWN Act was one of the many ridiculous spinoffs of the BLM era. Around half of the states in the country have since passed a “Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair” (CROWN Act) protecting black people from supposed discrimination over their hairstyles. But in another example of the law of unintended consequences, the CROWN Act may be about to get a real workout from a white woman who was fired for wearing a black hairstyle. In September, the Baltimore Rock Opera Society announced that it was hiring Kelly Carnes as its executive director, citing her 21 years of experience and her work with the Smithsonian and the Kennedy Center. In the publicity photo, Carnes appeared to have some sort of Cruella de Vil hairstyle in which one side of her hair is black and the other is white, possibly foreshadowing the racial hair drama soon to get her fired and become a national news story.This comes on the heels of a story we had last week:
The BBC is catching heat for an article claiming that the trend of leaving fingernails unpainted is a racist way of pushing “white supremacist standards of beauty.” The national broadcaster interviewed Paloma Buddemeier, a London nail salon owner, who shared that more and more customers are asking to skip the nail polish after their manicures, a fashion trend synonymous with “quiet luxury.” ...Bare nails, Rodulfo bafflingly claimed, “really promotes blankness and this kind of sameness and erasure of culture and identity that is so important to black and brown communities.”Before you say "Meh, this is England," they caught this disease from us but it ultimately will find its way back across the pond to us. On all that, there's plenty of other madness and meshugas in today's linkapalooza, and so as you wade through it, I bid you all to nevertheless have a good day.

CNN at 7am. President Trump's attacks on Muslim Democrats.
And on MSNow yesterday, some witch actually said President Trump was trying to start a race war with his social media posts about Omar.
On the plus side, 700,000 and 1,700,000 viewers which is pretty paltry considering the US population.

Judge Reyes screamed at the DOJ lawyers: “Ignorance is not an excuse!”

It's hidden from them. By Congressional members in on the fraud. In Minnesota it's obvious. In California it's obvious. And so on.
One thing is certain, if the feds are not getting their cut, there's hell to pay. The IRS is an "outward" facing entity. It's prime focus is the public, not necessarily state entities like learing centers.
I think that's why the fraud goes on for so long unchecked... at least some of the feds are in on it and keep it on the "down low."
I don't think the Trump administration approves...

Something has already happened. There's no way HSI got a warrant signed by a DC judge that was appointed by Democrats to raid the home of a Democrat politician unless there was compelling evidence.

Lets pretend that it is true that some rando on X claims seeing Ilhan driving away from her house 30 minutes before the raid.
Lets also pretend that there was a reason why it was "in great haste" because, as we're led to read between the lines and insert "hauling away incriminating documents before FBI can retrieve them"
Wouldn't having foreknowledge of a court warrant search and seizure of evidence, and then removing/destroying the evidence be in of itself a crime? And does the attorney share some of the guilt by tipping off the client?
Or is this typical DC Calvinball; and its considered professional courtesy to allow the Democrat time to remove/destroy evidence?

Oh no! They're trotting out the 'muh norms' offense - how dare Trump's team violate the DC "norms," the same ones that were *never* applied to Trump and his first administration. Recall how they publicly arrested Pete Navarro, despite his lawyer offering to have him come in and surrender himself earlier.
They abused many people, not just Trump, so their cries of indecency, violating their precious norms, fall flat.

It looks like it is probably BS is one reason, sadly. Personally I thought all along we were going to be subjected to pictures of Talfreako with a couple of teenage boys, so I was relieved at the breakdown story.
Posted by: Huck Follywood at October 13, 2026 08:52 AM (74AaH)
If Talarico was really on the verge, almost guaranteed, of flipping Texas--making the kind of history that gets the "once in a hundred years" moniker--then every Dem of any measure of favorable would be flocking to Texas to be seen with and campaign with him.
As the saying goes, "success has a thousand fathers."
He would be on the shortest of short lists, almost guaranteed to be the Dem Presidential nominee.
They'd be desperate to curry his favor.
Yet, there are precisely ZERO national Dems campaigning for him.
"But what if they don't want to spook his coalition of cross-over Rs who will break if national Dems get involved?"
Sure, the coalition that the polling says is holding firm even after Rs have spent millions painting him as a radical Dem?
The Rove Coalition is locked-in or they don't exist.

Philly next. 🙏
For example, there was no Africatown until the Democrats created it. (What began as racially insulting in the late 1990s - Little Africa - all of SW Philly, became a formalized city location.)
• Initial Funding (2021): Democratic City Councilmember (now Council President) Kenyatta Johnson kickstarted the official push by delivering a $125,000 city check to ACANA to map out and design the "Africatown" footprint.
• State Level Backing (2022): Democratic State Representative Jordan Harris & State Senator Anthony Williams secured a $9 million state grant from Pennsylvania's Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program (RACP) to build a 37,000-square-foot community, retail, and clinical headquarters for a Community Hub.
• City Council Recognition (2022–2023): Democratic Councilmember Jamie Gauthier and the rest of the Philadelphia City Council passed a formal resolution legally recognizing Africatown as a designated economic development zone.
Posted by: L - No nic... at October 13, 2026 10:22 AM (NFX2v)
Yes, the funding push for the "Africatown" infrastructure project was fully greenlit at the state level under the Wolf-Fetterman administration (which approved the initial $9 million Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program grant), with Governor Josh Shapiro's administration continuing to oversee the distribution of state capital and economic development initiatives throughout these Philadelphia neighborhoods.
But there's also:
>$1,800,000 in American Rescue Plan funds presented by state legislators to combat poverty and support local businesses.
>$500,000 allocated from state casino tax revenues
> $2,000,000 via the federal Community Project Funding program to help construct the 37,000-square-foot community hub. And on and on.
(Note: The African "hub," a Community Center & Cultural Venue, will have daycare & youth training; full service restaurants and retail, social and legal services, and better streets to ...
Posted by: L - No nic... at October 13, 2026 10:22 AM (NFX2v)
Additionally, there are plans for area grocery store acquisition & affordable housing. (Socialism has arrived in the Philadelphia region!)
Liberia & other west African nations are but a plane ride away from Philly - an airport largely controlled by the city - & Liberia has long been supported by the U.S.
Surely there are many lovely residents therein, but as a whole it's the "Wild West" & ever expanding into Delaware County - at the invitation of our County Council. (Now there is a Delco clinic directly serving non-insured and under-insured residents, specifically focusing on the large African and Caribbean immigrant communities in Delaware County & Southwest Philadelphia.)
OTOH, several major figures - war lords - from the Liberian Civil Wars (1989–2003) have been found "living normal, quiet lives as business owners, restaurant workers, and neighbors in the local communities," including those outside of the city.
Additionally, Philly has seen an influx of newer West African asylum seekers since late 2023 (primarily from Mauritania and Guinea).
We all share the same U.S. Rep (D-PA), too.

Something people need to be aware of.
We were notified by the town that we have not paid our property taxes. Our taxes are supposed to be paid by the mortgage company.
Called the mortgage company and it took an hour to speak to a human.
Anyways they swear they are paying the tax. Town says we are not paying our property taxes.

Convenience/Inconvenience is the main reason.
It does help to be able to access systems when you aren't in the physical location, no doubt.
People don't always choose safety when it's inconvenient somehow.
If I'm walking into the store for five minutes I may not lock my car... and then regret it if I walk out and my car is gone.
They actually made it illegal in my county to leave your car running while you went into a store, etc.
Cars were being stolen because somebody left the engine running while they went into the convenience store to grab a Coke.
So, the county fixed that problem the only way they know how.

No. Just no. Local management panel, and the ability to completely firewall these things off from anything outside your facility.
But these freezers were probably installed in large chain stores, so head office would want the ability to monitor or adjust them under central control, because that's what head offices always want.
"Hey, do we have connection system set up that requires a proper SSH tunnel into our stores before we can connect with these devices?"
"Are the devices on their own wired-only network that doesn't interact with the same wifi network we give to our customers?"
"How secure is this stuff? Let's do a proof-of-concept installation here at corporate, and then have our IT guys do some testing with Kali Linux..."
These are the questions and ideas that should be coming from your CIO.

Orange cats? I've known three well, one a female. None were below average in brains, though the girl cat Mitzi came close. Big Rusty was bright and sociable; Arizona clever, stubborn, sociable only with me and women visitors. (Sort of like me, come to think of it.) In other words, they all had their quirks, just like all the cats I've known.

News when I was upstairs at 7am.
CBC - Alberta referendum. Cue 'Nothing will happen' guy. Not concerning at all, a request for 650,000 additional mail-in ballots. Sure, Yep.
CNN - Six Flags death. Roller coasters shut down.
MSNow - a panel of people talking about a sports book with a guy who hates the Dallas NFL team. The cheerleaders probably make him feel uncomfortable.
FoxNews - Saudi Arabia attacked for the third straight day. What'd they ever do to deserve that...

We just finished Season One of Hap & Leonard, the series based on Joe R. Lansdale's crime novels. If this first season was based on the first novel in the series, I need to find it. Talk about intense . . . and there are several points where you wonder if the heroes are going to make it out of the severely tight spot they are in. They have to, it's a TV series (however limited -- six eps a season), but you really wonder.
Anyway! How was your Dia de Cristobal Colon?

FTA:
A sump sample before engine start would have shown the difference, and that check stays with the pilot no matter who fueled the airplane.
That last part is so important. So true of so many things, but the consequences of passing off the responsibility in something like aviation are so very profound.
I hope the FOB or fueling company is paying for the "substantial damage to the right engine mount, fuselage, and empennage".

Warning volley for sure.
Our first pup, Shepherd/Malamute/Husky aka Gilda, potty trained herself. Never peed or pooped in the house from age 8wks. Dude showed up with her when we were engaged as I "needed protection." No, he needed a dog as his parents were no pet people (mother, anyway). He only had salmonella green turtles where I lived on a farm zoo.
Gilda would go to the front door and hit it with her paw and stare at you to let her out. Would sleep in the snow during the day as she loved it.
Had her neutered. When she got home I was petting her on the couch. I guess she was so relieved to be home her spincter opened and a tidy turd appeared on the couch. That was it for her entire life of genteel living.
She did try to kill a peeping Tom or thief one day protecting me.
Should have been trained as a K9. Very smart. Smiled on command. Understood soccer rules with her tennis balls (goal was her not used dog house). Our first baby.
People cross country skiing (which she also loved) thought she was a fancy Akita vs a free puppy.

********
The last time I was in Penn Station NYC was over a decade ago. Like a giant urinal stench.
I would not ride a NYC subway anymore if paid a lot of money or without a SEAL Team with me.
Our crazy eldest, on a Broadway musical tour in college, was nearly stabbed going back to NJ on a subway at 1am. He knew nothing good happens after midnight. He and his friend were alone on a car and a black guy was between cars, begging to get in, with the stabber right behind him. They got off when it stopped and ran.
The SaxMan has nearly put me in an early urn (I can't say grave anymore as we are being cremated and sharing a drawer we still have to pick out).

I have that problem. In my tool bag, in the bathroom and wherever I am there is a can of Dermoplast, First Aid. Not to be confused with Pain Relief. It is the last remaining brand of pressurized antiseptic. Shake it up and hold the nozzle close to the spot and spray until the antiseptic hits the bottom. The force of the spray cleans the wound as well as killing germs.
You can't wait, do it immediately. That's why the can is on hand.

Hey, did you hear the one about the goofy sailor half a millennium ago who thought the world was much smaller than everyone else knew it to be, and thought he could sail west from Europe and get to Asia? Couldn't find anyone dumb enough to finance the trip until he charmed some idiot queen or Spain or Portugal or somewhere like that. His crew almost mutinied and he lost one of his three ships. You'd think that guy would never be heard from again.

Fortunately the New Mexico cop that snagged me 1) was tailgating the semi he was behind so he didn't catch me until I hit 99 (slowing), and 2) didn't catch me earlier when I had the speedometer pegged in the Dodge Daytona. I really couldn't afford the $350 ticket, but at least the judge let me call in and plead, instead of demanding I show in court, then tossing me in the klink. (That was what he claimed he always did with "young hotheads". Ahem.)
BTW, the 1987 Dodge Daytona (without any of the fancy stuff) will go faster than 125. Because that's how high the speedometer went before running out of dial.

Some artists drew a female version of Draco Malfoy which is a rival of Harry Potter in the Harry Potter books. I didn't read them either...but Duck AI tells me they hate each other.
This character named "Malfoid" is drawn in a love/hate relationship with Harry as opposed to the just...hate relationship they had in the books I guess.
Besides being NERDS^2 what is the issue with this character? Well apparently on reddit and other places they've been pairing up Harry and Draco for years because redditors are lame and gay (but not female).
So now other nerds un-gaying their weird cartoon fantasy is hate speech? White supremacy? No...its literally Hitler.

I watched some real-ish AI sketches of this. It was pretty well done. It was a little disturbing to have Malfoy gender-swapped, but at least it wasn't ghey. Mostly, I was just impressed by how well done the AI animation was.
Of course, now my YooToob suggestions are filled with not only other episodes of that, but cartoonish-animation versions and similar gunk.

I'm not following the controversy, beyond what's being talked about here and a couple other blogs I follow. But I did read that JK Rowling supposedly based Malfoy's personality on a girl who bullied her in school. So a female Malfoy would probably have worked better in the books in the first place.
(Except that now the hero is male and the villain is female and that's Just Not Done Anymore.)
Some genderswapped characters even become semi-official; "Linkle"--genderswapped Link--is a character in the Hyrule Warriors spinoffs from the Legend Of Zelda games. Though officially she's Link's "sister." An identical-twin sister, wink-wink-nudge-nudge.

I do a lot of kneeling and moving around for work. A couple months ago (and only a couple months ago, I am wondering what I did) my right knee started screaming in pain. I looked at it and thought 'what the hell is your problem? I am still just a kid!'
It was during a period where I was doing a lot of Asian squats, so I think that was it. When I started to slack off on it, it hasn't happened again.

Small families, due to birth control.
Kids who grow up without other babies around never learn how to deal with babies. One or two kids are never around when diapers get poopy, or babies decide to cry all night. They have no idea what they are about to get into.
They have no sense of normal when it comes to babies. Then they can't cope with the idea that they are not the first on the list of people who need attention, when all the time it is the babies that need attention and not them.
All hell breaks loose, and they can't cope.
Birth control ruined society in more ways than one. Now it is positively murderous, and needs to fucking stop.

It was only when we became a bit independent that she began to loathe us. It was perhaps reasonable, considering how perfectly coddled she was as the youngest. How dare we challenge her?
I have long since forgiven her for her treatment of us, but it is clear that had she had younger siblings, she may have managed better.
She loved her natural grandkids, because they were not her responsibility. She loathed my son, because he was adopted and not "white." Said she couldn't "trust" him. She was surely a product of her time.
She missed so much joy, and for that I am truly sorry.

Hello. I agree. Always wanted a sibling. Relationships are different.
Also, church, folks raised in the church have a much closer natural or personal relationship with God and relating to the goings on in the church are more natural. That's important.

That is so very sad tcn.
Posted by: four seasons at October 13, 2026 03:01 AM (/QHx4)
No, it isn't. It is sad for mom, but not really for me. I know who she was, and I am fine with that. She made her choices. I made different ones.
When I was in high school, she told my best friend's mom that I was the stupid one in the family. She really believed that. She told me I would never make it through college. She was wrong, but I paid for the whole endeavor on my own.
When I chose to become Catholic, I called her, and told her. Her response was, "Oh, how I have failed you!" She really thought it was a calamity. And yet, it was the joy of my life. She couldn't possibly be happy for me, because I didn't do exactly as she expected.
At some point, I realized that mom did not have my best interests at heart. I think I knew that all along.
My dad insisted that all of us kids had the best mom ever. He may have been correct. She was the best she could be, considering her limitations. I have always treasured that part of the equation, and I have long since forgiven the rest, but I cannot forget it, either. It made me who I am.
Not sad. I'm pretty cool. In fact, I'm fabulous.

Wasn't even interested much in babysitting when I was in HS, although I did care for a BF's niece and nephews one time. (Got BURNED there-- it was supposed to be a few hours & turned into a whole fk'ing weekend and then never got paid. 3 kids under 3 yrs, 3 days, no $. Never again!)
Still, even though rather anxious about it, I accepted the notion that I'd eventually have children of my own one day. Hubby (Ex now) and I made plans...
But it didn't happen. I was called "defective" for that.

Thanks. I think the independence movement is very strong in rural Alberta; but the cities are heavily occupied by parasites. I think even if the referendum fails, it will not be 80-20 against, maybe more like 60-40, which means the issue will not go away. And I suspect, regardless of the outcome, we will see an Alberta Conservative leadership race within a year.

There has ever been and remains an Alaska First party up here that advocates succeeding from the union, on the basis that the US is keeping way too damned much land away from Alaska and declaring it tied up. Other issues come up concerning this nonsense. They will never actually succeed, because we are way too dependent upon the military and other issues to make it work. But we have oil, and gas, and timber, and fish, and fuck you DC.

He's a blessing. Smart and courteous. I had little to do with his upbringing (good for him, probably!) since I didn't even meet him until he was 15.

It's the culture. The lack of children, lack of parents, marriage rates dropping, etc, is a result of a culture that has rejected God. In the West, the State has replaced God, what we are seeing all around us are the results. It will get worse.

I’m not offended as much as I am surprised at that observation. The way I see it, we are all individuals, and sure, having siblings (or not) and growing up with babies (or not) can effect things but in the end it is on the individual.

New York has refused to honor 16,070 ICE detainers since President Donald Trump returned to office, releasing illegal aliens who have been accused or convicted of a combined 52,503 criminal charges, according to Department of Homeland Security data.
According to the information obtained by the New York Post, rejected detainers included people involved with 131 homicides, 132 kidnappings, 1,017 sexual offenses, 9,502 assaults, 1,776 robberies, 1,631 burglaries, 2,198 weapons infractions, 1,561 DUIs, and 4,324 drug-related counts.
ICE detainers are requests that local jails hold a suspected illegal immigrant for up to 48 hours so federal agents can take them into custody.

This is absolutely worth every penny, it just happens to be way too heavy to lug around to the rental when I have to do repairs.
Basically it's a tank and weighs more than my current setup of disparate pieces that I throw into the back of the pickup.

Can you imagine the reduction in crime if New York simply honored detainers? And I don't mean "crime in Ohio..."--I mean crime in New York. These criminals are being released to literally commit more crime IN NEW YORK. Its amazing to me that any citizenry anywhere would put up with that level of combined arrogrance/incompetence.

John Buchan, aka Lord Tweedsmuir, was a neighbor to Lawrence back in England, and spoke well of him. One of the characters in his series of Richard Hannay novels was a tribute to him. I have an old copy of Buchan's memoirs, and it is a good read. As Lord Tweedsmuir, he became the last foreign-born Governor General of Canada, and was much respected here. He died in Canada in 1940, IIRC.

Carpenter's used to make a bench from scrap at every job site.
I have an old left behind that the monitor is mounted as this is typed. It's made from 3/4 x 12 plank with 1x4 bracing.
It has a 1x4 inch rounded hole in the top middle for a hand hold.

Now lucky you that the Samist and the Wayitwasist AKA the (D) style KKK, Progressives, and DSA have arrived. They need their underculture, semi-class, semislave, and oppressed to sell the Us-Better-Than-Them ideas of Single Payer, EBT, and Basic Income.
They need that BNW culture that only THEY know haw to take care of.

She got sentenced to 41 years in prison. I'm sure she like to shave some of that time off.

I just moved a portable bench today, in fact. Two foot by five foot scrap of plywood screwed to the ends of two empty oil drums with 4 1/4" Tek screws. Took 2 minutes to build it. Will hold several hundred pounds at a convenient working height. A total of seven pieces: three that any adult can easily carry by hand, and four that will fit in a pocket.

That's what I have now, it's two lightweight aluminum saw horses and a couple of pieces of wood, it's 5 pcs total and is light, it's just that it's 5 pieces to carry, I was eying this portable job that would have cut everything down to 1 piece, and it does, it also weighs more than George Washington.

TX-SEN: Chair of Texas Democratic Party says 'we're full steam ahead' after Talarico's flu recovery
Kendall Scudder, the chair of the Texas Democratic Party, said Sunday he is confident in Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico’s campaign in the wake of his illness.
“We’re full steam ahead. And, of course, you’re going to see people in the swamps of the internet making up conspiracy theories. That’s what they always do,” Scudder told NewsNation’s Chris Stirewalt on “The Hill Sunday.”
“But the fact of the matter is, people get sick sometimes when you’re diabetic,” he added, referencing Talarico’s Type 1 diabetes diagnosis. “It takes you a little while to get recovered.”
Talarico recently made his first public appearance in slightly less than two weeks after his campaign said he was recuperating from the flu. He was spotted walking around Austin City Limits, an annual music festival in the Texas city.

It isn’t our site to fix. But 90% of the time, Brave stops this from happening. Other people have had good luck with different pop up / ad blockers. I still feel bad recommending these as it cuts Ace’s revenue, but so does lost readership. Hopefully there is an offset by hitting the tip jar as you are able.

This morning, the federal government turned the full force of the Department of Homeland Security against a sitting member of Congress for the offense of disagreeing with the White House.
The path to citizenship should not be weaponized against anyone, including Rep. Ilhan Omar, a naturalized American who swore an oath to this country — the same one that I took.
The promise of citizenship should not be contingent on someone agreeing with the federal government.

“Huh… that’s why my hotel room was so expensive.”
I heard some people in the crowd speaking Italian, usually families, so I guess it’s a big deal in some circles.
It’s the first time I’ve seen a really big city parade, and it was cool. Also, I’m pretty sure Ace was there, riding a Vespa with his dog in a backpack, trailing an American flag. He was placed just before M.S.S. Addolorata del Romitello Borgetto.

When I was about 3yrs old I got two duckies for Easter. My grandmother raised them in a pen in her backyard, which was in the city and they used to have chickens and a cow along with everyone else.
I had two blonde pigtails and was rockin' heart-shaped sunglasses. Heaven knows where that photo is.
I still remember their duck smell, which is a bit odd. When they got big my father took them to the lake on the farm where they either got eaten by foxes or flew away. He told me they flew away. I no longer believe this.

1) Term limits for Congress. Two terms for Senate and 3 for House.
2) Age limit to prevent the McConnell's, Feinstein's, Pelousi's and,now, Grassley from being in office after age 65yrs. Commercial airline pilots have to retire then and so should these nitwits. Who, once elected, do very little but raise money til their next election as well as becoming wealthy on their salaries. Bastids.
3) The Founding Father's believed in term limits and I wish they had set this into law. Never dreaming of the dikheads we have now who are lifers. RINOS, who prevent recess allowing Trump to place individuals into federal office.
4) The Founding Father's also believed in being in DC part time and working their farms/plantations. As many recesses and vacations as these worthless government jackasses take, this would save $ for the country and maybe some scum bags wouldn't run for office.
There's only a handful of representatives I like at any given time. The State of the Union reveals all I can't stand who stay seated. I want to somehow deport all of Omar's Squad plus incontinent Pelousi and her hammer husband.

I know! He's shown me the videos this guy makes. People hire him to come "knock heads," which is what he calls trapping and shooting them. Nasty looking hawgs.
My brother seems to think they are far enough from the MS River they won't come (central MS). We have a creek that flows into the Pearl River, that goes to the MS River.
My Dad built a 10acre lake where three springs feed into a swampy area when I was a baby. Choctaw used to camp there as we find many arrowheads and spears. Once a bowl for corn at the sandstone creek. It's pretty but not the same in the past 20yrs.
They planted pines in place of open pastures and pine beetles have destroyed a lot. I wish they had planted hardwood, but too late now for my vote.
He has wildlife cameras and has never, thankfully, seen a wild hog.

Then I read where they can get up to 40lbs and fall through the ceiling. Which flipped me out! An animal trapper guy found the hole in the porch (FL house) and kept the mother from nesting.
The thought of a python in the toilet and a racoon falling in my lap while I watched tv was enough to have me plan to move outta FL.
The animal trapper guy was a weird man. I thought I saw a black rat or something in the kitchen. Which neither he nor my dude could find after tearing apart the boy's wing. Asked me about scat and I said, "I beg your pardon?"
He told my man that basically the little lady was hallucinating while I was at work in the ED one day. They called me that "it got away." Right. It was the size of my hand and looked like a black toupee with little feet and no tail. I will go to my grave saying I saw this one day after grocery shopping.
It came out from under the couch in the family room/kitchen and scurried into the boys wing with me screeching and putting a towel under the door. Called dude at work hyperventilating. No one believed me.

No, I don't think that's true. They're calm and curious, mild-mannered, smart, herd animals. They even pick a spot in their field as a latrine, so they're typically very clean.
They're also protective, like donkeys. Some farmers keep llamas with their prey animals for protection.

One of my multiple choices explaining his "flu" and "urgent care" and back to flu. He should just admit to it vs the grocery store hissy fit or mental health place in Ohio.
Food poisoning is also a shigella bacteria. I don't want to think about the ghey type. Lalalalalala, can't hear you.
Many people with a stomach virus say they have the flu. Some also say flu with a cold.
Real flu or influenza is like a truck ran over you, sudden, painful and wanting to die... but mostly upper respiratory.
I went from normal on a kid pick up from preschool to wanting death a few hours later. With temp over 101, sore throat, ear ache, headache, fingernail and hair aching. The finale was 104 fever and a list on the fridge to not overdose our family with Tylenol and Advil (alternating). The 104 temp killed the virus and almost my entire delirious family.
I guess some diarrhea (dire rear in the case of gay diarrhea) could come from high temps of real flu as you don't digest food at 101 degrees.

@mrnobodyinsc
Wild theory but hear me out. The socialist and radical wing has pretty much taken over the Democrat Party. Traditional Democrats have lost a lot of their power because of it and don't really call the shots anymore. You've got people like Omar who represent a side of the party that a lot of the old guard never really signed up for. Look at the DC District Court itself: 11 of the 15 active judges were appointed by Democrats, and those judges pick the magistrate judges who sign off on warrants. All four of the ones who could've signed this one lean the same way. Sometimes you gotta cut off your own arm to save yourself. With the warrant signed off by one of those DC magistrate judges, could this be the start of Democrats finally trying to cut ties with the parts of the party that
middle America will never vote for?

I think that's the most rational explanation. Over-dosing at a sex party could never be admitted...so they'll reluctantly pivot to "mental health episode" at some point rather than having to explain what drugs were od-ed, and inhumane sex acts he was performing a the time of the overdose.

A federal judge on Monday halted the Trump Administration’s renovation project at the East Potomac Golf Course.
US District Judge Ana Reyes, a Biden appointee, excoriated Trump DOJ lawyers during a hearing on Monday morning.
Uruguayan-born Judge Reyes said Trump Admin lawyers had told her that the administration would alert her if they were taking “irreversible” actions at the DC golf course.
The Trump Administration removed more than 400 trees from the East Potomac Golf Course over the weekend, and Judge Reyes flipped out.

It’s why God created you.
Each person brings their own gifts into the world.
Together, we form one body that cannot be separated.
Seek that skill within yourself. Understand it, and give back to others.
There is nothing more satisfying than the feeling you get when you help your fellow man.
I know some of you believe you have no skill you can share with others.
That’s simply not true. Look deeper, find it, share it with others.
The feeling is like nothing else you’ve ever felt.
Give all glory to God, the father almighty.

I want to meet you for many reasons, Ben Had. What I'd love is for you to talk my dude into riding a horse. He never has. No one can talk him into it and now we're rather olde.
He was traumatized at a young age at Disneyland when his brother's burro pooped on his burro's head. That's all it took.
I ride, but not with a lot of grace. I stayed in the saddle on a mountain ride with a Navajo princess in college. Could barely walk for two days afterwards, but totally worth it to be above hang gliders with her horse leading.
I galloped wildy in Hyde Park in London (English saddle) with nannies pointing to me and the horse and laughing. That was really bad but hilarious at the same time. I figured I'd never see those people again...the thought I have often in hideous situations.
I rode on the farm, but none of our horses were fancy.
In the apocalypse I will be in charge of the horse, cow, and goat. He gets the chickens as I have a beak phobia...we had a mean rooster who chased us in childhood.

Some Kind of Weasel Open Thread
MassimoIt's real. It's not a photo of a commuting weasel, but a weasel attempting and failing to have lunch.
@Rainmaker1973 Photographer Martin Le-May was walking through a London park with his wife, hoping to show her a green woodpecker for the first time, when he snapped this incredible photo: a weasel riding a flying woodpecker.
As much as we'd love to say this weasel is embarking on an epic journey atop his very own luck dragon, what Le-May actually witnessed was a failed attempt at lunch. Small and adorable as they may be, weasels are voracious hunters and have been known to chomp down on a wide variety of prey items including moles, squirrels, hares, snakes and birds. "The woodpecker landed in front of us and I feared the worst," says Le-May. "I guess our presence, maybe 25 metres away, momentarily distracted the weasel. The woodpecker seized the opportunity and flew up and away into some bushes away to our left. Quickly the bird gathered its self-respect and flew up into the trees and away from our sight. The weasel just disappeared into the long grass, hungry."

Meet the Jaguarundi.
They are a small, slender wild cat native to the Americas, ranging from southern Texas to South America. Resembling an Otter or Weasel due to their long body, short legs, and small head, it is often called the "Otter Cat". Unlike most Cats, they are diurnal, hunting during the day for small prey. They are slightly larger than domestic Cats with plain, unspotted coats that come in two main color phases: dark brownish-grey or rusty red. 🎦 Credit: Tico’s Wild Studio.— PROTECT ALL WILDLIFE (@Protect_Wldlife) April 18, 2026

They lost the continent because the were literally savages in the fullest expression of that meaning and no ability to defend against a more numerous, more organized, more technologically advanced population.

When I was bartending in LA, I met aa lot of actors and actresses, who had one moment of success.
Then nothing.
Like there was this one gal I dated who had been in the "Oh, whaat a feeling!" Toyota commercial a few years earlier. "I was the second girl from the left." then nothing.
She was still sure that old commercial would be her big break.
But, plenty of others too. Almost all a part non-speaking part in some TV show or commercial. Some were still clinging to hope based on that one tiny shot ten years later.
In any event, I imagine that poor guy thought being Walter White kid was a HUGE set toward stardom. Ten years later, when it wasn't, he probably finally lost all hope of his Hollywood dream.

I have a tough time feeling that badly for the native American tribesman. Life as a woman was brutally bad for them, but even the men lived a subsistence lifestyle in stone age technology and almost constantly at war. Other than the Pacific coast tribes who lived in comparative ease would have nice big parties where they ate captives.
Being introduced to medicine, clothing, buildings, farming, commerce, and technology was a huge upgrade. Well worth abandoning my "rich cultural heritage" of beating rocks together and starving all winter in a hide tent.

Nixon deciding to restore the treaty system was probably his second worst idea (EPA being the worst).
Instead of assimilating, retaining their heritage but finding opportunity, it convinced them to stay on the res, get drunk, and nurse grudges while indulging in super-corrupt petty politics.
it also created the fiction that where they happened to be in 1878 or whenever was their "ancestral lands," when most of them had only been there for a few decades. The colonists in New England and Virginia had longer and deeper ties to their lands.

Speaking of that Starlink launch, I heard something interesting the other night. All Starlink satellites have an optical star tracker system onboard for navigation purposes, to track its attitude and all that.
But they can also be used to see other satellites, and SpaceX is using that with the swarms of their satellites to better map out all the other satellites and junk in orbit. And apparently to better precision that Space Force's radar tracking...
Then it hit me, I imagine Elon has some "agreements" with the military and there may be some other things Starlinks are doing that we don't know about, and hopefully our enemies, Chicoms primarily, don't know about.

But, plenty of others too. Almost all a part non-speaking part in some TV show or commercial. Some were still clinging to hope based on that one tiny shot ten years later.
In the "Chernobyl" miniseries on HBO Max, there's a Soviet soldier standing guard at the door of the (kitchen?) room where the Soviet scientist who spilled the beans about how flawed their RBMK reactors were. You briefly see his face as he opens its door, then he disappears behind ductwork and only his lower torso is visible.
One can imagine the actor excitedly proclaiming to all and sundry, "Yeah! That's me, right there! Didja catch a glimpse of my face? I'm big, I tell you! BIG!"

They used dogs with drag sleds, but didn't have beasts of burden until the Spanish explorers brought donkeys and horses. I wonder how much advantage a donkey pulling a wheeled cart has over a donkey pulling a drag sled. Either way, it's embarrassing they used wheels as decorations, but didn't use them for carts.

I know this one. Apache's were skilled horsemen, but of a less martial nature. They used them for farming and transport. The fought, mostly, on foot. The Comanche on the other hand had the numbers, and made a significant effort to fight on horseback. The Apache were not nomadic...so when the the Comanche's destroyed their livelihood (agriculture and permanent villages), they moved on.

And, listening to some podcasts about that, I learned of something new being proposed to the next 6g iterations of cell towers. It's called ISAC, integrating sensing and communication.
First, they're increasing the ability to detect the precise location of cell phones by an individual tower. The tower can determine you precise position in space relative to it. This has the benefit of allowing it to focus the signal it's sending to phone, reducing interference to neighboring devices. Result is more bandwidth, less congestion.
ISAC will take that to the next level. Cell towers, coupled with AI to process the enormous of amount of data required, to act as a type of radar (lidar like really), to track the position of movements of any objects in range, not just cell phones that are transmitting.
The Panopticon is getting even more scary.

S Americans had the llama as a beast of burden for thousands of years. But I believe they piled up cargo on their backs and didn't use carts or travois. Even when they had an advantageous animal they could use, they never took that next step of having the animal pull a larger load than it could carry.

Well, they were explorers, not traders. They made good use of boats, like the fur traders before them. But a one-wheeled vehicle like a wheelbarrow can go on almost any footpath a human can easily negotiate. Expend a lot of labor for a few months, to build a road between Point A and Point B, so that you don't have to spend a lot of labor every day to hump goods on your back between them, but can haul them on a little handcart. But that would require the ability to plan for the future...

I've had three negligent discharges in my gun life. One at 21 yrs old where I was being incredibly stupid and was lucky that I didn't shoot myself in the femur.
The other two were with a Ruger Bearcat in the same range session. Sweet little SA revolver, but it had a true hair-trigger. Luckily, by that time I was about 35 and had gone a long ways towards using proper safety, so even though I fired the revolver without actually deciding to fire it, there was not real danger. That's the genius of the 4 rule safety system, the only way to hurt someone with an ND is to violate TWO rules.

Dims lack the ability of understanding that they did this to Trump in the past. I am unsure why but will blame being ugly and their frontal cortex never developing past that of a junior high nerd with zits and halitosis. Mocked by the entire class, causing him/her/ze to crap their pants as they ran to the wrong restroom. Then had to endure til changing schools or graduation being called Shite Pants.

Because they're not entirely sure how it works, I don't think they can actually set laws like that.
They train the AI to 'alignment' of the parameters set from the start and how well it operates completing tasks.
If it's 'misaligned', then you start reading stories where the AI escaped the lab during testing, or hacked into some website with other agents.

While I was still digesting the insanity of the UK printing in English the no-no rape rules vs in Farsi or with drawings... Welp.
The Cornell University handouts of sex with multiples topped that! "You no longer need to seek the Mrs degree! Be a ho or train conductor!"
When I went to (4) universites and 1 junior college there were no handouts about anything that I recall. Granted I don't recall a whole lot, but I'm positive there was no sex stuff during this time.
We did have a suite mate, from Ohio!? who used to gather an audience to discuss her blow jobs to a football player. This was as close to sex ed as I had, and we thought it was icky and maybe she was making it up.
I was barely 17yrs after skipping my junior year due to federal bussing bs (when I first started hating the feds as our school had been integrated since 7th grade).
This was a new concept for me along with lesbians (my mother had to tell me about them, thanks to the PE majors who were dorm monitors. And, apparently, lesbians.

On average Uber pays drivers about 50% of the fare a rider is charged.
However the driver uses his car. Uber or Waymo or any other driverless service has to pay for the car, you’re not getting a 50% discount. They’re just shifting costs from labor to assets that depreciate and need constant maintenance. And are VERY expensive to purchase.
You’ll be lucky to see a 5% discount t let alone a 50% discount vs a human operated car service.

>>n exchange for obtaining a valuable license to operate a broadcast station using the public airwaves, each radio and television licensee is required by law to operate its station in the “public interest, convenience and necessity.”

He probably did well for himself. My dude's attitude as well. He didn't hesitate with me. I rarely dated anyone for months and months before I met him after moving West. His theory was that I intimidated college guys. Which might explain the huge pre-med chemistry and physics lectures when I was one of 3 girls vs 100 boys. THAT was a huge bummer time for me to have arrived, was ready for action, and no one asked me out.
My male apt mates arranged for a friend of theirs, who was also a grad psych major* to ask me out. We hiked, etc, in groups. He kissed me once during an university film fest. I got nothing from this encounter and he owned his own home, etc. I was not after anyone for what they owned or their sports cars.
I married a good-lookin' orderly who owned a $250 ancient car instead. You had to make me laugh, for starters.

Well before, it used to be the case that state minimum wages were lower for tippable jobs like waitress. Thats not true in a lot of states any more, and the minimum wage has gone absolutely insane lately.
And employers pay about twice what wages are with insurance and taxes on each employee. Combine that with food costs skyrocketing under Biden and restaurants who were working with like a 4% margin to being with are looking for ways to cut costs just to stay open.

My very weak understanding of copyright law is that having a copyright just give you the right to sue people who infringe on it. Nobody else is going to proactively police this for you. And if you aren't on every violation like a dog on a bone, your right to enforce the copyright gets weaker and weaker.

BREAKING: Abdul El-Sayed's campaign is responding to
@FoxNews
after unearthed social media posts from El Sayed's sister in 2012 appear to show her saying her family has been involved with and supportive of the Muslim Brotherhood. I asked the campaign if they deny the posts are in fact from his sister, and what comment they have given that El-Sayed just told Meet the Press over the weekend that nobody in his family has any ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. This is what they told me.
“Abdul is a dad and a doctor. He has spent his entire career working to keep Michiganders healthy and safe. Independent fact checkers have repeatedly debunked Mike’s lies, but their campaign continues to use bad faith attacks on Abdul's faith and family. Mike wants to distract from Trump’s agenda that is terrorizing Michigan families at the pump and at the grocery store."
- El-Sayed campaign spokesperson Roxie Richner.
On background, the campaign says that claims El Sayed and his family are part of the Muslim Brotherhood have been debunked as "racist" and "untrue".

I got a hair cut from a girl in college who did that, and rubbed other body parts on me. I couldn't figure out if it was on purpose or just part of reaching the right spots. She got really mad when I had to cancel the next cut for lack of funds though.
I grew up with all brothers, women were largely a mystery to me. Still are, mostly.

I thankfully caught the last chopper out of Hanoi and have been with my wife since before dating apps existed, but that dude's advice sounds really great for about the year 1998.
It's wildly out of touch for today's dating market if what I've gleaned from my friends that are still navigating that hellscape is even 50% accurate.
It's just about as out of touch as saying "If you didn't eat doordash and get starbucks every day, you would have no trouble saving the money to buy a home."

At SportClips, they used to have hot stylists who would chat with you and rub their tits around your ears while you got a cut. Now, it's all tattooed purple-haired humorless fat butch lesbians who sullenly give you a sloppy cut.

In suburban Birmingham in 2021, there was a shop which had only attractive women stylists. (Plus they did not worry about the then-current face diaper stuff.) I got a nice haircut, left a good tip, and had a pleasant experience in that I did not have to look at any of the fat humorless creatures you mention.

Last time I went, several years ago, it was a cute little Filipina who also gave me the hot shampoo wash.
I wish she'd have tried the rub her titties on my ears trick with me.
She probably would have gotten a bigger tip.

I think al-Q's endgame isn't so much as to take over Mali but to make it something like Syria. A hardline Islamist government which lets al-Q do what they want.

Like so many other states in Africa, Mali is made up of two tribes that hate each other and that allowed the French to maintain control. The northern portion is Tuareg, and the goal is to create a Tuareg 'liberated zone' where they have freedom to maneuver. I wargamed that for many years. We had some interesting results.

When I was bartending in LA, I met aa lot of actors and actresses, who had one moment of success.
Then nothing.
Like there was this one gal I dated who had been in the "Oh, whaat a feeling!" Toyota commercial a few years earlier. "I was the second girl from the left." then nothing.
She was still sure that old commercial would be her big break.
But, plenty of others too. Almost all a part non-speaking part in some TV show or commercial. Some were still clinging to hope based on that one tiny shot ten years later.
In any event, I imagine that poor guy thought being Walter White kid was a HUGE set toward stardom. Ten years later, when it wasn't, he probably finally lost all hope of his Hollywood dream.

I watched Sleepless in Seattle a couple of nights ago (don't judge me). I was curious if Ross Malinger, the kid who plays Tom Hanks' son, was still in Hollywood. His bio says he's now a used car salesman. I suspect that's typical.

For the dozenth time that day, Sven was wondering if he should get a different job. He liked being a bartender, but a pirate bar -- and especially the Toughest Bar In The World (gov't name) -- was a bit much at times. Especially with regulars like Norm Nobeard, who fancied himself a comedian.
"So then Kermit -- not that one -- decided he wanted some more pondfront property, and hopped off to the bank for a loan..."
A drunk with a hood hand was gesticulating so wildly at his tablemates that he nearly put his own eye out.
"He gets to the front of the line, and explains to the teller -- he nametag says Ms. Whack -- how he's not that Kermit, but his dad Mick Jagger (who got so drunk he fucked a frog) was a friend and big admirer..."
Oh there's Blindside Pete, who actually did get one of his eyes put out by that hook, about to bump into someone he can't see and start another fight.
"...and he doesn't really have any property for collateral but this little white porcelain elephant, so she goes to the bank manager..."
Whew, Pete saw and dodged at the last minute -- spoke too soon, Pegleg Bob just tripped on a knothole and knocked Hottempered Phil's whole chair over.

Norm doesn't even turn around at the sound of fighting, just keeps on with his ridiculous story. "She knocks on the door and the bank manager says, 'Come in Patty,' and she explains the whole irregular situation. She just didn't know what to do! Well, she was new. So the bank manager turns over the little white elephant in his hands, hmm-ing and aha-ing."
As if the day couldn't get any weirder, a guy with a whole frickin' ship's wheel walks in and staggers toward the bar, cautiously avoiding the inebriated patrons, while Sven leisurely polishes a dirty glass with a dirty rag. The newcomer tries to belly up to the bar and can't even do that, finally settling in sideways.
"'What even is it, anyway?' Patty asks, gazing puzzled at the elephant. So the bank manager explains what's going on. 'It's a nick-nack, Patty Whack. Give the frog a loan! His old man's a Rolling Stone."
Sven laughs politely at Nobeard's joke, then asks the burning question on everyone's mind: "Hey, new guy. What in Odin's name is the ship's wheel even for?"
"Arrr," the pirate groans. "It's drivin' me nuts."

I watched one episode. The show was people arguing over who they should follow, then taking a walk in the forest. They pass through an open field with a tree in it.
Apparently the director though they needed something to happen so a group of zombies shows up and attacks. They weren't in the field. They weren't able to hide. They just showed up from behind the tree.
That is one of my most hated film and TV bits, where things happen or show up from off camera that the actors in the scene can clearly see coming and know about but react as if they do not because the viewers did not.

Good to know that a month before the election they’ve declared the races over.
If republicans show up, especially given the changes in districts and registration I don’t see how you make that kind of statement- other than to try and depress Republicans turnout.
Given the stakes I don’t see that happening.

I always thought it was a zombie show aimed at an audience -- mostly women -- who didn't like zombie movies.
Case in point: my mom. She's not into horror, but she liked the show. I tried to watch it but was bored silly and gave up.
Posted by: Elric The Blade at October 12, 2026 03:50 PM (iFTx/)
It was decent up until season 7 or 8 with Neegan.
It was developing the problems which eventually consumed it well before then, though.
Trying to save money by splitting the group up and doing shows with 1 - 3 cast members, etc. Going through producers and writers.
And the soap opera aspect just got worse and worse with recycled plotlines with different characters.
I knew people who didn't like horror who liked it, too.
It started pretty great but it went on a long downhill ride after that.

It's crazy how shows used to have 26 episodes a season, even Star Trek and now.....maybe 10.
Even Disney Channel seasons are about 16 episodes.
I'd think spreading out the cost of existing sets over 20+ episodes would kind of help the economics. But they don't want to pay the people I guess.

The key to that entire book and the show was that it was Rick Grimes as the hero who would do anything to protect his family, until there was nobody left but his son Carl and the the baby Liltith.
The show practically killed itself first killing off Carl for no reason, then sending Rick into the wild blue yonder out of the show.
The only other reason that people watched the show was Daryl, and the kept him but there's only so much you can do with a character that's been on TV for over a decade, so they sent him to France.
It's as ruined as every other franchise Hollywood touches.

What's wild is that she was a child when the "fraudulent" paperwork was filed.. by her father. Even if the paperwork contains fraud, it shouldn't impact her citizenship imo. She was 12 years old and has been in the US for 30 years. She shouldn't be punished for the crimes of her father.

I suspect "binge watching" has a lot to do with the reduction in the number of episodes per season. Studios can crank out more variation in series per years. However, the gap between series is a problem because yeah, people will have forgotten what happened in the previous season. Especially if it was a badly-written series--no one goes back to rewatch it. (Looking at you, Wheel of Time and Rangz of Power...)

Are you my late brother aka the most insane and funny person I've ever known?
When I returned to work as a RN, after over 4yrs raising babies, I flew my brother to FL to watch them during my month long orientation. He was between jobs. Boys were 3yrs and 1.5yrs old.
Their Dad would come home to give them lunch and then naps.
My bro was not big on diapers but was ok with pee for the baby. If our boy dared to poop, my brother's solution was the garden hose first. Which, of course, the baby loved and wanted me to start doing this as well.
I had to laugh, however,as they did survive and enjoy their time with their crazy uncle.

Depends on the musician's -- or rather the record label, depending on the licensing rights -- agreement with ASCAP. Not all songs are licensed on ASCAP.
But if a song is available through ASCAP, the whining musician can suck a fat dick

Remember, the NFA was always a tax. It defined itself (and was upheld) as a use of Congress' taxing power, so those who broke it were committed tax evasion.
When the tax was reduced to zero, the regulatory side became moot. It does not necessarily follow that everyone who avoided its requirements and got caught should now go free.
Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd
Problem being, they were never prosecuted as tax evasion. They were always prosecuted as gun crimes. Sentences received were way out of whack for a $200 tax crime.

Once #2 son and I were waiting by the river next to our church for his brother. There were some feral kittens near a woodpile. We went over quietly and he turned to me and said, "Mom, whatever you do, don't show your teeth." I guess from National Geographic about wild animals and I cracked up laughing (and probably showed my teeth).
Our #1 girlie is 5yrs. Very articulate since 15mo talking like an adult. A couple of weeks ago she and her older bro were arguing about her sharing a craft here. I asked her, in desperation, "What would Jesus think?" She calmly told me He would probably not care.
Over the rainy weekend she calls me about this same brother's new drone. Which our crazy son let him use inside. She said, "It's not going well and keeps crashing near me and I'm trying to eat lunch." I tell her to try to avoid this.
Her reputation preceeds her at school, as she's funny and simply beautiful. She was swishing her dress coming out of church and her father said, "Instead of her being like you I'm starting to think she's like Beth Dutton."
Our first granddaughter and we admit to having no understanding of girls.

The law hinged on Congress' taxing power. It was explicitly tax evasion, not "a gun crime." The penalties were set in the law.
I have no problem with a review being conducted of cases to determine whether people deserve clemency (which Trump can do), but the rules are the rules.
If someone cheats on their taxes and gets caught and properly punished, the subsequent repeal of that tax does not mean they were in some way vindicated.

Eh, maybe some of it. Some of it is probably "I want attention and nobody pays attention unless I wear really revealing stuff." Some of it is definitely "I didn't think about this outfit before I left the house".
There is, however, a kind of... armament escalation? happening with women's clothes.
You've got the girls who wear revealing clothes to get attention versus the girls who wear revealing clothes in order to have an excuse to beat men down, and the more press the beatdown girls get, which causes men to deliberately not pay attention, the more revealing the attention girls dress to get the same amount of attention they used to be able to get in less revealing clothing.
What you need to do is find a way to get these two groups to fight each other openly.
Other women already catch strays from this escalation.

I have no problem with a review being conducted of cases to determine whether people deserve clemency (which Trump can do), but the rules are the rules.
If someone cheats on their taxes and gets caught and properly punished, the subsequent repeal of that tax does not mean they were in some way vindicated.

Yes, actually, it does.
They committed what society now considers a non-crime, what society considers socially acceptable behavior, e.g., building a suppressor or rifle with a barrel that is 14.5" instead of the arbitrary 16", or possessing parts that could be assembled into the same without paying the fee/tax/liberty fine/license (call it what you want) that society now considers not constitutionally worthy to assess.
If society now considers that such behavior is not worthy of assessing criminal penalties, of what societal purpose does it serve to continue assessed criminal penalties for behavior that is socially acceptable?

When our boys were 3 and 1yrs, a neurotic SiL and beloved brother to my dude came to FL for 10 long days. She is very snooty, being from New England. Our beach sand did not fit what she desired. I was really sorry about that, being in control of the Atlantic.
Her boys wer 4 and 2yrs. They caught a cold from our toddler and life was hell for that vacation. She took it upon herself to guard her boys from ours. Meanwhile the other three adults were drinking and having fun. She was known, before kids, to always have a migraine. We gave her one, for sure.
She came in angry that our toddler boy bit her toddler.Her boy was hogging the pedal tractor. As I was raised with feral cousins I laughed. Which was not what she wanted and she got mad. I went outside and told him to stop biting his cousins. Returned and told her, "he's not a biter" and continued to drink my gin and tonic.

Then if it drags on, just let it be known that there are some lingering symptoms, and put out the rumor or unverified report from an unnamed staffer that the campaign is waiting on him to stop pissing blood.

Did you know there is NO RECORD of Ilhan Omar's father becoming an American Citizen? The documents are all ‘missing.’ That brings into question whether Illhan herself was EVER legally a U.S. citizen.
The coverup goes deep.
Alpha News Reporter Liz Collin details the damning allegations against Omar's father:
Omar’s family entered the United States as refugees in 1995.
Her father reportedly became eligible to apply for citizenship in 2000, following the five-year residency requirement.
Federal records searches failed to locate her father’s naturalization documents.
Omar says she obtained citizenship at 17, but older Minnesota records listed a 1981 birth year, which would have made her 18 or 19 in 2000. Investigators are examining whether Omar legally qualified to obtain citizenship through her father while still a minor. Now we're finding out the records may not even exist.
If Omar's father was never a citizen and Ilhan lied about her age during the naturalization process Ilhan Omar committed immigration fraud under the law and must be deported.
Incredible work,
@lizcollin

I spend 80% of my life in leggings and tank tops, mostly cropped ones. I appreciate it when clients do the same, because it’s really hard for me to judge form if what they are wearing is baggy. I am not there to judge them on looks, they do not need to be perfect when they come to me. This is a journey that I am going on with them, and I am far from perfect myself. I do not allow shorts in my studio, leggings or capris only. First, they help with muscles warmth, second, they stop strength tubes from pinching. Men usually wear shorts over running tights, or long enough shorts they avoid the pinching.
I do not wear leggings and crop tops to church. But I have run into the grocery store to grab something quickly. I wouldn’t choose this outfit to run to the store as a stand alone errand, however. I wish people had a better grasp of appropriate vs. not, but here we are.

JUST IN: The mother of Elon Musk’s 13th child, Ashley St. Clair, says she is now a dues-paying member of the Democratic Socialists of America and gets emotional, saying she feels guilt about any role she played in pushing for the Trump administration to ban sex changes for minors.
It is evident in this interview that St. Clair displays sociopathic tendencies and would harm her own child to spite Elon.
She gives off major Lindsay Clancy vibes.

I see quite a few ladies wearing hijabs with otherwise very tight or revealing clothes. Kinda defeats the modesty angle, ya know?
I continue to believe that, at least for the younger generations, the hijab is more to avoid having to do your hair than anything else.

I was rockin' in my prime. Had a couple of halters I wore with jeans. Lived in bikinis without a thought.
I didn't like to pay attention to my looks at the time. I wanted to be known for my sense of humor with friends. And being smarter than my looks as a new RN and docs took me seriously.
No vanity at the time nor a lot of time spent on my figure (which was good as I walked everywhere, swam and biked), long hair, or make up. I got noticed when I walked into a room, but did not want to make a big deal about it and wear a tiara. Even in HS I'd roll my eyes about vanity and Who's Who voting.
That said, I dressed modestly due to my upbringing and got enough wolf whistles without my tatas hanging out. In other words, the fake hippie wore a bra when others were burning theirs in my prime.
"Wild Night" (great dancing song) was written by the druggie and insane Van Morrison. One lyric is true:
"All the girls walk by
Dressed up for each other"
Males don't notice what you are wearing but what you are enhancing. And a bit of mystery was an added feature for me, not a bug.

SpaceX has a deal to purchase nationwide low-band spectrum licenses for a planned terrestrial mobile network that would complement the space-based Starlink cellular service.
SpaceX will buy up to 14 megahertz of spectrum in the 800 MHz band from investment firm Grain Management, which bought the spectrum rights from T-Mobile earlier this year. T-Mobile had obtained the spectrum when it bought Sprint in 2020 and was required to sell the licenses under a merger condition imposed by the US government.
“This prime low-band spectrum addresses one of the key remaining technical gaps that will pave the way for Starlink Mobile to become a major mobile carrier in the US,” SpaceX said yesterday. SpaceX this week also received US approval to launch 15,000 satellites for an upgraded version of its mobile service that it says will be far more powerful than the current offering.
The 800 MHz spectrum licenses cover “approximately 100 percent of the US population,” the Federal Communications Commission said in a July 2026

Um, no. It doesn't work that way. Many people who "disapprove" of Trump are to the right of him. The idea that everyone who answers "disapprove" is now going to impose Sharia law on themselves is beyond stupid, but I guess here we are.

'On Sept. 3, President Donald Trump granted the Navy veteran executive clemency, releasing him from prison and restoring his constitutional rights.'
_ATF convicted him on gun violations, - 20 yr in prison.
_The Supreme Court declined to review
_ATF reported seizing illegal firearms, including machine guns, and destructive devices
_Special agent Daniel Beasley described how he altered Adamiak’s non-firing replica STEN machine gun to fire live ammunition, ...Beasley had to install a firing mechanism and a real STEN barrel and then wrap part of the barrel in electrical tape to fire a single round, he stated in his report.
Calum Welch, one of Adamiak’s lawyers, said the ATF appeared to have investigated crimes that Adamiak could have committed.

I rescued Elvis when he was 6 months. He'd been in a couple different shelters and had signs of abuse. He was scared of his own shadow and till this day he can be skittish around new people but once he gets to know someone and understand they won't hurt him he's a big baby.
I work out of the house when I'm not on the road and he's my constant shadow. The scars never go away completely but they can fade.

I was depressed yesterday but am fine now. Ralphy needs to be lifted into the house from outside because he's missing steps. He bounces around and doesn't like that even though I carry him up and down steps in the house.
He can still get himself up, goes nuts for food and treats, occasionally chases the cat and I have him on pain pills. So this is just one more small change.
And since he's 40+ pounds, my thighs and butt are solid.

Talacreepo's softball interview yesterday made things worse, though.
He was clearly anxious and borderline paranoid, repetitively duckspeaking talking points "I'm better now" he said like 10x), and his version of what happened is inconsistent with what he said on that zoom call.
The little pervert is clearly lying and trying to cover up for something really bad and almost certainly campaign-ending.

Maybe he can sit on the Intelligence Committee and find some spare IQ. He seems like a willing doofus to me.

My BFFs went with me the day I got Elvis. My buddy drove my car so I could sit in back with Elvis. He was terrified. Walked around the house like he was afraid of doing anything wrong.
I then put him back in the car and took him to the park to run around. I think he thought I was going to drop him off somewhere. He looked miserable. Didn't even seem to enjoy the park either.
But when we got back home he got out of the car, looked at the house then at me and the biggest smile broke out on his whole body. He knew he was home.

IF, BIG IF, he did have the incident in the grocery store with the black man, he will, indeed, lose his black voters if it comes out.
After all, as one Clancy woman fan said, saying the n word is far worse than murdering three children.
I was brought up in the Deepest of the South from childhood to never say that word. I still don't as my mother said it was only trashy ignorant people who said it and we were far from that. I was also half raised by black women.
Nor have I thought of murdering my children (one son asked, ha).
I did see red once when this same casanova son in college brought a girl to our home while we were out of town. She was tired from work and he lit candles around my big tub as evidence he stupidly left. I don't want to know what else went on.
He was very lucky we had the conversation on the phone and he was 2.5hrs away from me. That's the closest I came to losing it, and surprised I didn't stroke.

They still broke the law.
Michigan has an income tax. There is a movement to eliminate it. Let's say it happens.
Does it then follow that everyone who committed tax fraud while it was imposed should be released from prison?
Remember, the NFA was always a tax. It defined itself (and was upheld) as a use of Congress' taxing power, so those who broke it were committed tax evasion.
When the tax was reduced to zero, the regulatory side became moot. It does not necessarily follow that everyone who avoided its requirements and got caught should now go free.

The court held that the law is unenforceable as against SilencerCo. The admin will not appeal. The rationale for the ATF official announcement is that - I assume under the principles of equal protection and the recognition of the final judgment - they would easily be similarly enjoined as against all future plaintiffs similarly situated.
In addition, Congress set the taxes on the NFA items to zero, thereby removing the Constitutional authority for the enforcement of the NFA requirements.
Sure, I don't want to be the test case. But the situation is less dire than presented.

We are giving her canned tuna in water. This started because of a screwup with the prescription food, and we ran out before the store could get it to us. She always loved tuna and we've used it as a treat.
She actually became much healthier, more energetic, sleeker fur, and she is still doing well, but her digestion is just not that great and we figure that's what will do her in. She's 15, so she realistically isn't going to go on much longer. I'm thinking 1-2 years at most.

A Golden? They smile a lot and I love the three we've had.
Granted, two had the love of water bred out of them.
However, our Shelby was the sweetest dog on earth. He was basically a big stuffed and gorgeous doggie who loved to eat. He ate a snack from the vet the minute before he went to heaven from illness. Which nearly killed us both with grief. So much for our waiting for him to stop eating as a sign he was dying...
I don't cry or grieve like a normal person. It is very rare for me to cry as if I do grieve for someone I love it is in private. I cried daily (mostly in private) for Shelby for three weeks. Told well meaning people at work to please not talk about him as I don't do sympathy well.

STATEMENT FROM MINNESOTA REPUBLICAN PARTY CHAIR ALEX PLECHASH
"Today, federal agents executed a judicially authorized search warrant at Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's home as part of an ongoing investigation.
Rather than issue our own statement, we'll defer to Rep. Omar. She said it best back in 2023, when the subject of a criminal investigation was someone else:
'Our democracy rests on the rule of law. When someone—no matter how powerful they are—is suspected of a criminal act, our justice system investigates, charges, and convicts them in accordance with due process.'
'Now it is up to all of us, as citizens and elected leaders, to support accountability and to follow the facts where they lead.'
'No one is above the law.'
We couldn't agree more, Congresswoman. We're sure you still feel the same way now that it's your front door. Minnesotans will be watching closely, and so will we."

If new evidence becomes available for past state income tax evasion AFTER the law is struck, would you support a new prosecution? Why?

Out of Virginia, his pads were burned off his paws, he had teeth issues so he could barely eat (he gulped when he ate due to those issues + being starved), and unfortunately, a disease that killed him just months after we got him. He didn't know how to play (talk about sad). The separation anxiety was off-the-charts.
He was the sweetest dog to ever live. He was a lover, not a fighter.
After that experience, Hubby has not wanted another dog (he was our third).

I was depressed yesterday but am fine now. Ralphy needs to be lifted into the house from outside because he's missing steps. He bounces around and doesn't like that even though I carry him up and down steps in the house.
He can still get himself up, goes nuts for food and treats, occasionally chases the cat and I have him on pain pills. So this is just one more small change.
And since he's 40+ pounds, my thighs and butt are solid.

I had a cat that developed that issue - a weakness in the hips that she had to learn to walk again at 16 or 17. When I bought a house there were stairs in it and she always resented being helped up them. She lived to 20 and I knew she was giving up when she stopped trying to go up the steps between floors and onto the bed I had set up.

I think they were originally hunting dogs, weren't they?

Yes, actually, it does.
They committed what society now considers a non-crime, what society considers socially acceptable behavior, building a suppressor or rifle with a barrel that is 14.5" instead of the arbitrary 16", without paying the fee/tax/liberty fine/license (call it what you want) that society now considers not constitutionally worthy to assess.

I've heard this jabbered about, less sure it happens in real life. For one thing, this needs a feminist to have a boyfriend.

I put down lard for the older cats because hairballs are harder to dislodge the older a cat is. I also supplement the morning wet food with Taurine and Niacin, both of which are essential for cats, and harder to source as they get older.
The two old lady cats are 17 years old, and are still doing well.

I want to redo our wills and leave all the money not going to my son to a dog rescue. They do yeomen's work.

House OCiS just redid our wills. We included donations to animal rescue. I love animals more than I do most people and it really bothers me to see abused/neglected animals.

I saw an episode of Pit Bulls & Parolees which featured an older lady who adopted a bully who probably only had a year or two left.
She said that she and her new dog were going to have a ball. The folks at the shelter were thrilled, and so was the dog. The older dogs at adoption facilities typically languish even if they are still quite healthy; most folks want a young dog.
Thought this was worth passing on...
All the best
