Daily Tech News 11 October 2026
Top Story
- AI models and agents are security risks and should be banned from your corporate network, or at a minimum, air gapped and restricted to a lead lined Faraday cage biocontainment unit to preclude Van Eck phreaking and accidental bowls of bat soup. (Twitter)
Says... Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella.
Tech News
- Why did already massively inflated prices on the RTX 5090 suddenly spike recently? If you guessed that Nvidia stopped making them, you're probably correct. (Tom's Hardware)
They will be replaced - allegedly - by a 5080 model upgrade to 24GB of RAM, delivering about half the performance. The current 16GB 5080 will also cease to be.
- Ukrainian drones blew up the largest datacenter in Russia, or at least unspecified parts thereof. (Tom's Hardware)
Has the volume of obnoxious spam declined at all?
- Testing Windows 7 vs. Windows 11 for gaming. (Tom's Hardware)
Interesting but not startling comparison, unless you were somehow expecting Windows 11 to take the win, in which case you may well be startled.
- My emulated fantasy 10-bit 80s home computer has two synthesizers: A wavetable synthesizer (something rare in home computers of any period but the Apple IIgs from 1986 has this), and a simpler fixed-function digital synthesizer based on a limited set of waveforms, easier to implement but needing multiple voices to work together to produce appropriate harmonics that a wavetable synth generates directly.
That second synthesizer sucked yesterday; as of today with tuning against real instrument samples it's sounding like a Yamaha synthesizer that doesn't have an insect in its power supply but in some cases needs one. Cymbals last I checked still sounded like gongs, resonating freely when struck. Gongs also sounded like gongs, which in that case is good.

That same kind of mechanistic understanding eludes us in today’s Super Intelligence systems ... We can’t treat Super Intelligence as a set of nested black boxes and simply accept or reject its recommendations, answers, and actions. ... The most trustworthy Super Intelligence system will not be the one with the model we trust most.

I was in the piano bar there during one Mardi Gras in college. The crowd carried us there. Sitting in a NC university frat boy's lap drinkin'this huge cocktail. Got the only hickie of my life on my neck and didn't notice. My mother did the next day, though, in spite of my turtleneck and make up. I was surprised as well.
Met him and his friends with my friends at a parade. We were hanging off the barricade and a guy with a rifle was spotted on the balcony above us. I wanted to see him (I was not very bright at 17yrs) and he grabbed me as the police ran in.
Now they would cancel the parade and close down for a day. At the time the parade went on. We hung out with them the rest of the afternoon and evening before being picked up by my mother.
He'd call me at our dorm in MS and we wrote for a few months. He and one guy showed up at my parent's farm one day and flipped out mother. Went out with him the final time and he realized what a prude I was and that endeth that. Nice guy. This concludes my dating activity for that semester.

If you have to, use the heavy duty toilet paper mask, not the single ply. That stuff'll rip if you look at it funny.
Either that, or get a plague doctor mask. If you have to wear one, at least get some fun out of it.

Trump's success in the presidential election against two different women seems to boil down to a matter of quantity.
The first opponent did not blow enough Willie.
The second opponent blew too much Willie.
Unfortunately, due to the 22nd Amendment, we will never be able to determine if there's a correct amount of Willie blown that would win against Trump in an

The covidiots think that 2020 was the good old days.
It was a time when they were heroes for wearing their masks and reporting their neighbors for any subversive activity. And they think they saved the world by getting their covid shots and all the endless boosters.
They would love to re-live that time. To them, it was the best of times.

In 2005 we had 3 CAT 3's hit our FL Atlantic beach & a tiny bit south of our barrier island.Mandatory evacs, twice to Tallahassee vs Tampa (son in Tampa had 3 roommates). Hunker from wind, run from water.
Kept stuff in bins in the LR for six weeks. Had art and stuff in both college towns til Thanksgiving. We only lost power at bunker home briefly as power was underground and connected to emergency services in the beach town.
The Neanderthal neighbor next to us lost power for 2wks and deserved it. The beach town south of us and my best friend didn't deserve it.
Publix, after this year, got generators for every store. Finding fresh produce was a miracle then.
Volunteered with the Salvation Army a few blocks away as I felt so guilty having power. Job was ice bags,, and a state senator kept sticking his head in the cars politicking. I wanted to yell at him but I knew his mother. I got pulled to give out spaghetti dinners instead.
Same fencing down for 2 hurricanes.House fine.

If going that route, have the electrician install a sub-panel, and move your essential loads to the sub. Run the feed to the sub through a manual transfer switch which will feed the sub-panel off the main panel when grid power is available, but can switch it to the generator "outlet" should the grid power fail. Some sort of transfer switch will be required by code, anyway. You don't want to be back-feeding the grid, and endanger some poor lineman's life. (rare, but theoretically possible; more likely your generator will just up and quit from overloading it)

The goal would be to get them as high as possible, try my best to keep them aloft, and just see where the wind took them. Program them to record their GPS position, and to send me a text when they are down to 2% power or so.
Maybe attach a note with a gift card and instructions to buy beers on me after texting me with the location.
Maybe launch rockets at the same time... something with a G engine or two. Same arrangement.

One thing I found before a hurricane (evacuated 8 times on that island. House was a bunker, but IF the surge hit "just right" we were goners) is that there is no wind and HOT. I could easily see how the Seminoles figured out one was coming. No birdsong. Afterwards no birdsong as the noise for days is power saws.
Once we got metal screw in shutters vs labeled ply wood (boys came from college) we never had another. It's hell to get ready and heaven to return.Damage would be same fence down and shredded pool screen.Lucky us.
I would be hot, stressed and crazy. I guess in shorts and a tee.
For the first one of 2005 it took us 11hrs to get to FSU (normally 5hrs). I could have landed a 747 at that point, following son and dog. Husband in packed car behind me. Other son back to Tampa loaded down.
My dude said a guy in a sports car was on I-95 trying to flirt with me in the middle lane. I was singing loudly to CD's. He must have been desperate as my hair was wild and curly and I looked like Phyllis Diller in a wind tunnel.
I was bummed out I missed it!

Best thing about it is it knocks down any fire season for a bit. And the infernal heat (for here) is gone, finally. Worst/longest stretch of bad weather in modern history here, easily. Law of averages strikes again. From "winter" until mid-July were months of perfect days, not weeks.

Hope it helps! I wear one while mowing, especially when it's hot & dry. Too many sparse patches in the yard and it gets quite dusty sometimes. I try to do it on windy days so dust will blow away quickly, but that's not always possible.

I think I've had it about 3 times, all mild. First time a toddler dose. His Da got it worse than all of us. The last time in 2025 I got it from black mask wearing jackasses on the plane seats behind us on the red eye from Honolulu.
A few days later I had a bad forehead headache. I can handle surgery over headaches and went to Urgent Care, but they were closed and I was not going to start harfing from pain. Went to the ED (drug seeking) and was surprised to learn I had ze covid. The staff then wore their masks with me, and ED MD told me to take high doses of Tylenol and alternte with 3 Advil for 3 days in our bedroom. No one else got it.
I think the mask brigade in public believed the dropping dead chy knees version vs mostly a cold.
I went through a period of wanting to scare hikers in the mountains wearing masks but got over it. I did laugh in my car at people driving with them.

The other day I was in the bathroom and noticed some movement through a crack in the curtains. I looked out and my super-hot neighbor was sunbathing in the nude.
I'm not proud of this, but I couldn't resist. I started wanking off.
When I finished I turned around and my wife was standing there. She'd been watching the whole time.
Imagine how I felt when I discovered that my wife is a pervert.

While viruses constantly evolve/mutate/get frisky, some colds/coughs now take longer to get over vs the old fashioned 7 days. Thanks to wuhan.
I've had a few that take over 3wks for the cough to go away. Being around a baby and school kids doesn't help, but I was never not going to see them. I've had noro and pretty sure RSV this year from baby girl and life goes on.
I feel sure everyone now has antibodies from the wuhan flu. Bastids.

How could I get that inside the United States? Clue was that both my daughter and I got it at the same time, and we’d eaten together at a Fort Worth restaurant featuring Central American food a couple days before. There was an epidemic of it going on in Guatemala at the time, and I know those assholes had brought in some illegal migrants from there to work the kitchen. Who knows how many people they infected.

That makes a two year long walk of shame for that little twit. She walked in all ready for the ride of her life, and then, when people pointed out it made her a slut, she suddenly discovered the outcome wasn't exactly what she planned.
Regret is not rape.
She will never be able to get a decent job or a husband, so I guess that was a poor decision in the first place and now she just made it worse. I hope she enjoys the headlines, because that's all that is left.

Music Thread: Shut Up And Sing!
I got people, fans, friends from every walk of life, every political stripe, everything. And I always stress, we got one thing in common because we're living in weird times. We got one thing in common, and that's we're all here to see a show, and I'm not going to lecture people about anything.-- John Rzeznik Why is this a difficult concept? I was a Bruce Springsteen And The E Street Band fan in my youth. Their first four albums were excellent, and their live performances were absolutely incredible. But the combination of an increasingly anti-American tone in his music, a shockingly hypocritical public vs. private life, and the incessant pomposity of his political haranguing seemingly at every public appearance has made me despise him.
John Prine! This is new to me, and it is fun!
The Deraillers Pure Fool Is twangy, simple, and fun to listen to! It doesn't take itself very seriously, which in this day and age of pompous asshole entertainers, is a very good thing
I used to listen to Lyle Lovett a lot, but for some stupid, unfathomable reason he dropped off my play lists. That was a mistake, because he is a fine talent, and one of the few original artists around.
And now for something a little different! Most people think of Mozart as a symphonic composer, but the dude could write opera. And for sheer toe-tapping, sing-along tunes, it's tough to beat him. This is one of his greatest arias from The Magic Flute, called "The Queen Of The Night." If you know any budding sopranos, ask them to sing this for you. It is a great tune, and extremely technically difficult.

Thanks for including that video from The Magic Flute. I had a supporting part in it during college, which meant listening to a lot of rehearsals that didn't involve my role. I used to copy the Queen of the Night aria, quietly, three or four octaves below the soprano. It provided some laughs for those of us back stage.

I don't think it's that hard to understand.
I grew up with some rockers. They essentially wrote musical poetry that was designed to elicit emotions. That was the whole point and what made them "stars".
Some realized what it was. Some became intoxicated with it and thought they were the voice of a generation.

Decades ago, aspirationally, I subscribed to a BBC classical music club and there was some other one also with beautifully packaged classical music CDs and notes.
There's about 75 to 100. But since I've been doing my projects and been by the computer all the time, I've been finally playing them in the background. Soothing.
I hope I develop an ear for classical music more.
Apparently for the opera CDs, I require animated rabbits to make it tolerable but maybe that will grow on me also.

Nurse,
I enjoyed performing in operas. Except for a few arias, I don't usually care to listen to them. Too many 'operatic' voices are all technique, which often sounds harsh and artificial, and too little effective emotion. One exception is Jesus Christ Superstar, which is an opera even if the Met faints at the notion.

I was telling the 26 yo nephew one of those “when I was your age stories” the other day. It was during Springsteen’s 1984 Born in the USA heyday and he wasn’t coming to Houston. So I and the rest of the posse camped out on the side walk of whatever store sold tickets back then for his Cotton Bowl appearance in Dallas. Drove up there for the marathon 3 hour concert. He never mentioned politics. You couldn’t pay me to spit on that vile piece of excrement now.

The table has served as dinner table, model-building table, cat-sitting area, card table, and since 1986 as my desk. I know of a wood furniture shop here in town; they have pre-made items you can buy and have them stain your choice of color, and they will make certain items for you. My TV stand is from them, ca. 2005. I'm sure they would refinish the table and chair to a high standard.

Another bookcase was a find at a big furniture store in southern Denver. It turned out to be the perfect size to hold my set of the Britannica. Two others in my bedroom were from Target, and they do not look cheap or poorly made. (It's hard to find bookcases nowadays.)
Finally, in my bedroom is a wooden chest from This End Up Furniture. Remember them in the malls of the '80s? Real wood, and it holds all sorts of stuff. In early '87 I was going to buy more items from them, but then lost my job. And they vanished not long after. A shame.

Woulda bought stuff from them, but had too much furniture already when I had a place of my own. I got excited once when I found a nude furniture store in Reno, but they were only unfinished. Used Danish oil on the pieces. Still have the table and one complete chair and one for parts.

My bed also dates to 1997, when I moved to Denver. The same shop who did the deep bookcases sold me the box spring, mattress, and a blond wood headboard and matching night stand. Now that I look back, I realize how much I spent with them -- and how good their work was.
The box spring still works, but that linen-like underfitting has holes in it now. When I move, it'll stay behind, and I'll buy a new box spring to go under the mattress.

And certain kinds of antique stores. The only problem being delivery if the item is too big for your car. Furniture stores deliver; small thrift/antique places don't. But I guess nearly all of them know somebody with a truck who'd be willing to haul your new dresser for a fair price.
I've seen dressers and end tables and dining tables I'd love to have, if I had the room. I'd have to arrange for delivery too, but they'd be worth it.

Speaking of secret compartments, I was wearing an old club jacket today. Black melton cloth body, black leather sleeves. Was fishing around in the inside pocket (found a rock, lol), and noticed a tiny zipper joining the sateen lining to the lapel, started at the inside pocket, and went towards the collar. I don't think there is a hoodie in there, and the entire lining is not zip-out. What gives?

The other big piece is my dresser. it belonged to my grandparents and predates them. Six feet tall, many drawers of different depths, veneered in figured walnut, and dovetailed joinery. The brass pulls are original as are the casters. The draws have move smoothly after more than a century of use.
I can't imagine what it would cost to have these pieces made today with the quality materials and construction.

Speaking of router tables, and machine tables in general, you can easily and cheaply make a very sturdy machine table from the shell of an old top-loader washing machine. Take off the top, and throw it away, gut it out, and fasten sturdy industrial casters to the bottom. I weld mine on, because I can, but if you don't weld, you could bridge across the inside bottom with 2X6, and screw the casters to that with 1.5" wood screws, making sure that 2 or 3 screws go through holes in the bottom flange of the cabinet. I make the top out of 2X6 tongue and groove, glued together, and screwed to the top flange of the cabinet with wood screws. Add a piece of 1/4" Masonite if you want a smooth work surface. I usually add a pair of 1" by 1" angle iron cleats at bout mid-height inside, and place a 3/4" plywood shelf on them. Also a 3/4" plywood bottom shelf, too. It is a shame to have all that cubage, and not have it accessible for storage. Such a table will easily support a 300 pound machine.

AOP, That sounds more like the Falcon pipe with the aluminum stem and a black plastic or nylon mouthpiece. The briar bowl screwed onto the stem and could be swapped with other bowls. Medico pipes are still made, apparently, although I don't recall seeing any in a long time.

Friday we drove it about 60 miles and i puked all it's radiator fluid 2.5 miles from home. Boo!
I will be installing a new all aluminum radiator with replacement tubing.
Posted by: AZ deplorable moron at October 10, 2026 06:51 PM (NnhvP)
Check for a blown head gasket before shelling out for a new radiator! An overheating incident can cause a head gasket to blow, and a blown head gasket will cause overheating, as hot combustion gases enter the cooling system. Fill the radiator, and water will do in this instance, and put a cooling system pressure tester on in place of the filler cap. From cold, start the engine. If the gauge begins rising right away, especially if it rises in jerks, you have a combustion leak into the cooling system. There is also a chemical test kit to test for the presence of combustion products in the coolant. The O'Reilly's store on Apache Trail at Gold Drive ought to be able to help you with either test.

I'm also a fan of half lap joints, which I used on some picture and document frames. Lots of surface for glue and more stable than a mitered joint. They are usually done on a table saw but lend themselves to hand tools very well. The chisel work does require some care.

We have three solid wood washstands in our house, two of them with towel racks. We also have two old iceboxes; those are less well off than the wash stands. I can see us taking the two "more complete" wash stands with us when we eventually move, but definitely not the iceboxes.

For a span of about two years around five years ago I explored flameworking -- making glass beads and glass flowers. I ultimately decided that I'd not have the time to become good at it so I struck my tent, distributed my tools -- most obtained at second hand and on the cheap -- and dropped the whole enterprise. Looking at matters now, it was a wise move.

Not really. I did unzip it all the way. The zipper runs up the left lapel and ends at the right-hand end of the collar. You can reach in there, and explore the entire void between the shell and the lining. Sadly, no sheaf of 100-dollar bills, nor treasure map to be found. It would make a lousy pistol carry space. I think the zipper was simply a means to close access to some sewing points.

I'm working on a trailer module tester. Circuit will fool the truck's trailer module into thinking it has a trailer connected. This triggers the module to flash the testers LEDs for brake, tail, left, and right as well as enabling the 12vdc relay for the electric brakes.
The whole shebang is a simple exercise to get 12vdc at the number for a portable aircompressor to air up trailer tires and the truck's rear duallys. Mounting it in an anodized black aluminum case 6"x6"x3", with the circuit laser engraved on the outer case and the LEDs labeled and mounted at the proper place in the circuit diagram. Using HAM Radio power port 30 amp quick connectors for the 12vdc so I can also run my radio from the tailgate while making remote Parks On the Air calls.

A Daily Dose of the American Rev General George Washington and his British adversary General William Howe had at least one thing in common—they both loved their dogs. Numerous interesting and amusing stories about Washington and his dogs have passed down through history but let us save those for another today. The dog in the historical spotlight today is General Howe’s fox terrier Lila. On October 4, 1777, Lila was with General Howe during the Battle of Germantown but somehow she became disoriented and lost on the battlefield. When the American army retreated that day, Lila followed it, wandering eventually into the camp of General Washington, wearing a collar that identified her as General Howe’s pet. While some of the American soldiers thought the dog should be kept as a mascot or trophy of war, Washington disagreed, and he promptly dispatched a courier to return Lila to Howe, along with a note that read: “General Washington’s compliments to General Howe. He does himself the pleasure to return him a dog, which accidentally fell into his hands, and by the inscription on the Collar appears to belong to General Howe.” One of Howe’s officers later recounted that the general was thrilled and relieved to get Lila back. This was “an honorable act of a gentleman,” he said, taking her up immediately and putting her in his lap.

My cats aren't as picky about their food as I would have thought.
I ran out of the food that Chloe's previous owner provided me and just gave her the stuff I give my other cats. She adapted quite quickly without any fuss.
Allie doesn't like to eat pate-style cat food, though. She'll only eat the wet food if it's chunky.

Afternoon, all,
Dagny La Siberienne *used* to be picky about her food. No idea why. The meme above has good suggestions. But especially since I've had big black Stirling on his diet, she gets more to eat -- he was stealing half of her chow at each meal -- and eats it with gusto. Not all at once; it takes about four bowl visits. Which means her manservant, me, has to pick the bowl up when she leaves and conceal it where Stirling won't find it. Eventually Dagny comes back and gives me The Look, and I put her bowl down. Rinse, repeat.

That's okay. First on Pet Thread should be shared by all.

In the random rotation of feral felines, we are down to three. Well, two now.
One is Angel, a sweet Siamese-looking kitten.
Kinky is your basic pale yellow cat, with a crooked tail; just couldn't use "Crooky" as a name; "Kinky" may be temporary.
"Bumper," another part-Siamese, was usually seen sitting on the bumper of the old obligatory rusting truck. She got caught by the cowboys. They've had her spayed and front claws removed, and are keeping her as a housecat. Still adjusting to home life with other cats, but confined to a bedroom, seems to like the comfy spots and the a/c.
Glad for that. Always concerned for the little critters out here. This week we found the remains of a good-sized hawk by the water tower. Just one big wing. Wonder what got it. (No windmills in the vicinity, but eagles, owls, and muchmore.)
Ony our little old black housecat continues to mostly confine herself to our bedroom. Seems to be half-blind, but manages to crawl up on the bed at night to sleep next to me.
Daisy the magnificent Malinois barks hello and also throw the ball.

They will eat tuna fish happily, the good kind. I was surprised that sardines were a no.
Ralphy is doing well but there's 2 steps from the outside to inside. He was always fine with a bit of running room but the last few days he's been misjudging or something is off. I'll help him down the steps by holding onto his collar.
From now on though, I'll lift him inside the house so he doesn't hurt himself. He is full of life. As long as he can stand up by himself, I'll be there.
He was ALWAYS right by my late Mother's side. He'll be treated the same way.

Freddy the Freeloader, the gray tabby-with-white shorthair semi-feral, is still visiting frequently. After slopping my feline hogs, I fed him this morning. When I came back from breakfast and errands, the air was still cool enough that I left the door open for a while. Stirling and Freddy immediately faced each other through the screen. Freddy meows; Stirling just looks, no hissing or growling.
I'm not going to let Freddy in. But is it possible that he could pass an infection to Stirling if they touch noses?

She might have bad memories of things being moved. The previous owner (before your daughter) may have been moving things out of the house (to move house) and the next thing Daisy knew she was sitting in a cage at a shelter.
It’s possibly the most traumatic event in her life, and when she sees stuff moving, she thinks she’s next.

Our dogs never cared about moving things in the house as long as they had a spot to 'rest' from their labors: walking, eating and the stress of napping. We had a poodle who went blind at four years old. He bumped into things for a couple of days then learned the new arrangements. As long as he could smell and hear us, he was cool about it.

Ralphy was a rescue dog from Alabama. Mom always wondered what happened to him.
He freaks out if he's left alone. I'm in the downstairs computer room right now but if I went upstairs, he'd follow. I have a baby gate so he can't get up the stairs and after a few minutes he's howl and be miserable.
Severe abandonment issues. It was easier when Mom was here and he was agile because he was always with her. He has been sleeping solidly at night and I've been running scripts on the computer and coming down to work at 3am and he sleeps until 8am.
That's actually been nice. Snowflake wakes up, I hear a thud on the floor and she comes down to go outside.

He wants an audience.”
Out cat has a terrible fear of ever seeing the actual bottom of his bowl. Sometimes he will yowl, and I look and there’s food there but you can see the bottom. So I put some in and he just looks at it, satisfied that it’s filled, and goes to lay down without eating another bite.

Ruby just likes things the way they are. She is in hell over the house renovation this summer. She won't leave the camper if the contractor is on site. Then she gets freaked when we take her inside and things are changed. She would not go in the new bedroom until I moved a couple of dresser drawers with clothes that apparently smell like me. We finally put back the RubySpot which is one of the dog beds wedged in between our chairs in the living room, and she likes that.
Some critters are just particular.

Edible Gardening/Putting Things By
Fall Beets
I gave my buddy Ed some of my prize winning dill and bread and butter pickles. He must like them because he asked for more. Now comes the real test- pickled eggs and beets. I’ve been eating these since I was a child. Love em. But most people won’t try them because they look weird. They are easy to make. 1 can of beets ( sliced or whole, non-pickled)
2 hard boiled peeled eggs
About a cup of vinegar ( regular or ACV)
1/2 cup of water
3/4 cup of sugar. Bring vinegar, water and sugar to a low boil until sugar dissolves. This is the brine. Adjust it with more sugar or more vinegar to your liking.Put beets and eggs in a container. Pour brine over until they are covered. Put in fridge. Wait a day. Enjoy. Usually I do two cans of beets and 5 eggs. Then I add more to the brine as I eat them. I eat these as a side dish to just about everything.
Post morning tennis lunch- lamb gyro with Greek yogurt , salad and pickled eggs and beets.Interesting to see the eggs halved. Another interesting recipe from By-Tor!

Not much to report . Keep,thinking I should cut down the tomato and poblano containers but they just got some new flowers. The tomato especially has a bunch of tiny green tomatoes. Have to wait and see if the storm tomorrow knocks them out. My encore azalea is indeed doing an encore. I love how this area has beautiful flowering plants even in the fall.

Home canned beans are far better than the stuff you buy in cans. I buy my seeds by the pound from the Mexican market in town, the brand is Goya.
Both of those varieties are shell beans, but if I pick them early enough they are tasty green beans as well.
Several years ago I cleaned out my box of old seeds by dumping them into a jar and adding a double handful of cranberry beans and raking them into the dug over potato patch in the idea that it would give me some coverage on the dirt for the fall and keep the weeds in check. It worked but even better I got enough beans to can too. I now have given up planting pole beans in the spring because I can grow bush beans in the late summer.

So, recently, I thought I'd do a carnivorous plant terrarium in a 32 gallon tank. I grow a bunch of fruit which has a tendency to attract "fruit flies" when it ripens in the house. Fly Traps, Pitcher plants, Nepenthes...etc. I had no idea how many carnivorous plants were out there until I started looking into it. I've got the base plants set up...pitchers and flytraps. It takes a little bit of research to see what others like the same humidity and heat. It's a long term project.

Final potato harvest was an entire 5 gallon bucket of Russets. Half were dry enough to brush off and weigh, 8 pounds 12 oz. The rest are still in the bucket drying off. Still a small number of tomatoes to pick, though that may end with the weather change. If frost threatens, we'll have to cut all the peppers. I've been cutting and freezing cantaloupe, since the vines are dead.
Bought 2 pumpkins and a spaghetti squash from the young entrepreneurs next door.
I had to put netting on the surface of our new bulb bed to keep cat/s out - I also sprinkled bulb food on top.
Husband pruned some trees, did some painting, worked on repairing the sweeper-cart - and had me dig up debris that had fallen in an irrigation box so he could see the valves and pipes to figure out what issues we'll have next spring - the system is under-designed for the demands on it.

It's Octobering hard core here in the Mitten. Glorious foliage, sunny, with cool evenings. And no bugs!
I did some desultory puttering, transplanting a pretty blurple aster out front and moving some of my blue salvia to my bare vegetable patch. I had to shake off lots of bees to move it -- " I'm workin' here, lady!" -- but the community garden bees took up the slack. I also gently pulled up rogue snapdragons and marigolds sprouting outside of garden plots and put them in mine.
I've already got kale sprouting.

There are many, many kinds of passion flowers. Some have tastier fruits than others. Some don't make fruits.
I think the one above may be a hybrid rather than a native Maypop.

One August, when I flew West back to college, I brought stuff with me to remind me of home. A magnolia tree seed pod and, once, an osage-orange ball aka "horse apple."
An artist friend was fascinated and wanted to paint both that I took for granted as summer in MS.
In spring we had redbud and dogwood trees blooming in the woods, along with tall vines into oaks of white Cherokee roses. It was lovely.

Real history
What was peculiar about the West was not that it participated in the worldwide evil of slavery, but that it later abolished that evil, not only in Western societies but also in other societies subject to Western control or influence.
This was possible only because the anti-slavery movement coincided with an era in which Western power and hegemony were at their zenith, so that it was essentially European imperialism which ended slavery. This idea might seem shocking, not because it does not fit the facts, but because it does not fit the prevailing vision of our time. ~ Thomas Sowell, Black Rednecks and White Liberals (2005)

A Daily Dose of the American RevA DECLARATION OF RIGHTS made by the representatives of the good people of Virginia, assembled in full and free convention which rights do pertain to them and their posterity, as the basis and foundation of government. Section 1. That all men are by nature equally free and independent and have certain inherent rights, of which, when they enter into a state of society, they cannot, by any compact, deprive or divest their posterity; namely, the enjoyment of life and liberty, with the means of acquiring and possessing property, and pursuing and obtaining happiness and safety. Section 2. That all power is vested in, and consequently derived from, the people; that magistrates are their trustees and servants and at all times amenable to them. Section 3. That government is, or ought to be, instituted for the common benefit, protection, and security of the people, nation, or community; of all the various modes and forms of government, that is best which is capable of producing the greatest degree of happiness and safety and is most effectually secured against the danger of maladministration. And that, when any government shall be found inadequate or contrary to these purposes, a majority of the community has an indubitable, inalienable, and indefeasible right to reform, alter, or abolish it, in such manner as shall be judged most conducive to the public weal. Section 4. None of mankind is entitled to exclusive or separate emoluments or privileges from the community, but in consideration of public services; which, not being descendible, neither ought the offices of magistrate, legislator, or judge to be hereditary. Section 5. That the legislative and executive powers of the state should be separate and distinct from the judiciary; and that the members of the two first may be restrained from oppression, by feeling and participating the burdens of the people, they should, at fixed periods, be reduced to a private station, return into that body from which they were originally taken, and the vacancies be supplied by frequent, certain, and regular elections, in which all, or any part, of the former members, to be again eligible, or ineligible, as the laws shall direct. Section 6. That elections of members to serve as representatives of the people, in assembly ought to be free; and that all men, having sufficient evidence of permanent common interest with, and attachment to, the community, have the right of suffrage and cannot be taxed or deprived of their property for public uses without their own consent or that of their representatives so elected, nor bound by any law to which they have not, in like manner, assented for the public good. Section 7. That all power of suspending laws, or the execution of laws, by any authority, without consent of the representatives of the people, is injurious to their rights and ought not to be exercised. Section 8. That in all capital or criminal prosecutions a man has a right to demand the cause and nature of his accusation, to be confronted with the accusers and witnesses, to call for evidence in his favor, and to a speedy trial by an impartial jury of twelve men of his vicinage, without whose unanimous consent he cannot be found guilty; nor can he be compelled to give evidence against himself; that no man be deprived of his liberty except by the law of the land or the judgment of his peers. Section 9. That excessive bail ought not to be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted. Section 10. That general warrants, whereby an officer or messenger may be commanded to search suspected places without evidence of a fact committed, or to seize any person or persons not named, or whose offense is not particularly described and supported by evidence, are grievous and oppressive and ought not to be granted. Section 11. That in controversies respecting property, and in suits between man and man, the ancient trial by jury is preferable to any other and ought to be held sacred. Section 12. That the freedom of the press is one of the great bulwarks of liberty, and can never be restrained but by despotic governments. Section 13. That a well-regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms, is the proper, natural, and safe defense of a free state; that standing armies, in time of peace, should be avoided as dangerous to liberty; and that in all cases the military should be under strict subordination to, and governed by, the civil power. Section 14. That the people have a right to uniform government; and, therefore, that no government separate from or independent of the government of Virginia ought to be erected or established within the limits thereof. Section 15. That no free government, or the blessings of liberty, can be preserved to any people but by a firm adherence to justice, moderation, temperance, frugality, and virtue and by frequent recurrence to fundamental principles. Section 16. That religion, or the duty which we owe to our Creator, and the manner of discharging it, can be directed only by reason and conviction, not by force or violence; and therefore all men are equally entitled to the free exercise of religion, according to the dictates of conscience; and that it is the mutual duty of all to practice Christian forbearance, love, and charity toward each other.

“No free government, or the blessings of liberty, can be preserved to any people but by a firm adherence to justice, moderation, temperance, frugality, and virtue and by frequent recurrence to fundamental principles.” In June 1776, fifteen years before the ratification of the Bill of Rights, Virginia adopted the Virginia Declaration of Rights -- "the basis and foundation of government" in Virginia. The importance of this document to the emergence of liberal democracy in the United States and around the world cannot be overstated. George Mason, principal author of the Declaration, died on this day in 1792.
Below is the Declaration in full.
Friends of George Washington
·
Duane Montague ·
On October 6, 1776, a Connecticut captain sat down and wrote a letter to his wife. He was exhausted and most of his men were sick. The campaign was not going well. But the first thing he wanted Priscilla to know was this: “you must not think that Distance & long Absence has weaned in the least degree my Affections from you & my family.” His name was Jonathan Birge. Unlike many of the names we remember from 1776, Birge was just an ordinary man who heard the call of liberty and answered. A husband from Bolton, Connecticut, and father of six children, Birge was made captain of a company raised from his neighbors and friends. When George Washington called for reinforcements in 1776, Birge marched south with Connecticut troops to help defend New York. The British had already taken Long Island, the Continentals were retreating northward. And nobody knew whether the Revolution itself could survive the year.
From camp at Harlem Heights, Birge wrote home, and the picture he painted was not heroic. "I never saw a worse place to be sick in for we have not one doctor to our whole Brigade in camp…Our people are some what sickly in camp yet."
The living conditions were miserable. He’d lost his pack in the retreat and asked Priscilla for two blankets. The army had finally obtained tents and straw to sleep on, but Birge admitted: “we fare considerably like hogs.”
And yet he refused to pity himself. After describing sickness, shortages, and hardship, he wrote: “I desire not to complain For I am alive & why should a living man complain." Birge wanted his wife and children to understand why he remained anyway. It wasn’t money, fame, or glory. “It is not all the commissions or pay...it is for the cause of freedom & love to posterity." A few paragraphs later, he tried to reassure Priscilla that he was healthy and still performing his duties: “I am the only Cpt in the Regiment that is well."
Three weeks later, he was wounded at the Battle of White Plains. An enemy musket ball went into his shoulder. Jonathan Birge died on November 10, 1776, at age forty-two. A week after Birge's death, three fellow soldiers wrote to Priscilla to tell her that her husband was gone. They regretted his loss deeply.
On October 6, 1776 a father and husband wrote a simple confession that still stirs hearts, 250 years later. He was just an ordinary American who knew exactly what he was risking “for the cause of freedom…”
Five weeks later, his family learned the price.
—————— I believe history matters because legacy matters. The choices we make, the faith that sustains us, and the families we leave behind all become part of a story larger than ourselves. If you enjoy discovering the people behind the history, follow along as we explore the stories, struggles, and legacies that helped shape America.
A Daily Dose of the American Rev
With the resolution for independence about to voted upon in the Congressional Congress, Delaware delegate Thomas McKean was very concerned. Although he strongly favored independence, his fellow Delawarean George Read was opposed. McKean wanted the states to vote for independence unanimously, and he certainly did not want Delaware to have the dishonor (as he saw it) of being the lone holdout. So, on the evening before the crucial vote, McKean dispatched a courier to Dover, 80 miles away, with a crucial message for Caesar Rodney—get to Philadelphia as fast as you can. Rodney was Delaware’s third delegate, but he was also a brigadier general of the state’s militia and had been forced to return to Delaware to help put down a Loyalist uprising there. He was also in poor health, suffering from asthma and painful facial cancer. But when McKean’s message arrived, Rodney set out for Philadelphia immediately, riding all night through a powerful thunderstorm. After one of the most famous rides in American history, he arrived at what would come to called Independence Hall in the nick of time, “booted and spurred,” exhausted, and mud-covered, to cast the tiebreaking vote in the Delaware delegation. “As I believe the voice of my constituents and of all sensible and honest men is in favor of independence,” he declared, a green scarf covering his cancer-ravaged face, “my own judgment concurs with them. I vote for independence.” Caesar Rodney is best remembered for his famous ride, but he served Delaware and the Patriot cause in numerous ways during his life: as a delegate to the Stamp Act Congress, as a general in the state’s militia, as a delegate to the Continental Congress, as a state Supreme Court justice, and as President (chief executive) of Delaware. Even as his health deteriorated, forcing him to cover his face with bandages and rendering him unable to travel, Rodney was elected to the Delaware General Assembly and was chosen Speaker of the upper house. Knowing that he was unable leave his home, in a gesture of respect and honor the Assembly voted to convene in his house, which they did in April 1784, just weeks before his death at age 55. Today is the birthday of Delaware Founding Father Caesar Rodney, who was born 298 years ago today.
A Daily Dose of the American Rev
· In taking up the Patriot cause, at a time when many fellow wealthy South Carolinians were remaining loyal to the crown, Henry Laurens risked both his life and his substantial fortune. Widely respected across America, he was chosen President of the Continental Congress in November 1777, the highest-ranking executive position under the Articles of Confederation. Laurens was appointed American minister to the Netherlands after his term ended and in August 1780, he was dispatched to Amsterdam about the packet ship Mercury, charged with negotiating a loan to help finance the war effort. Off the coast of Newfoundland, the Mercury was intercepted by the HMS Vestal, a British man of war. When Laurens realized his capture was imminent, he tossed overboard the trunk containing his diplomatic papers. A sixteen-year-old new recruit aboard the Vestal saw something tumble into the water off the deck of the Mercury. Believing a man had fallen overboard he called out an alarm. Another British sailor aboard the Vestal immediately dived into the water. But what he discovered was not an unfortunate man in need of rescue, but rather Lauren’s trunk, which had not had time to sink. Taken aboard the Vestal and opened, the trunk was found to contain Lauren’s commission to negotiate the Dutch loan, as well as a draft treaty between the United States and the Netherlands. Laurens was carried to England and placed in the Tower of London, charged with high treason, and Great Britain declared war on the Netherlands. During Lauren’s first day in the Tower, a band outside his cell taunted him with “Yankee Doodle.” Lauren’s later recalled, “The tune played I suppose in derision of me filled my mind with a sublime contempt and rather made me cheerful.” Laurens remained confined in the Tower for 15 months, refusing numerous offers of release in exchange for renouncing the American cause and requesting a pardon. “Imprisonment and even death…shall not shake me,” Laurens wrote, rejecting one of the offers. “My conscience acquits me, is serene & undisturbed; if I die, let me die in my integrity.” General Washington sent both Colonel John Laurens (Henry’s son) and the Viscount Noailles (Lafayette’s brother-in-law) to London to attempt to negotiate Laurens’ release, but their efforts were fruitless. Congress offered to exchange General John Burgoyne (who was a paroled prisoner of war captured at Saratoga) for Laurens, but the British refused, saying that Laurens was a prisoner of state not a prisoner of war and therefore ineligible for exchange. But the truth was that the British authorities had no great desire to see Burgoyne released from parole. Their position dramatically reversed when General Cornwallis was taken prisoner at Yorktown. On December 31, 1781, Laurens was finally released, in exchange for a promise to effect the release of Cornwallis from parole.
After his release from the Tower, Laurens finished his much-delayed journey to Holland and there he negotiated the terms of a desperately needed loan. He would go on to be one of the American commissioners who negotiated the Treaty of Paris, the peace treaty that ended the Revolutionary War and secured American independence. Henry Laurens was imprisoned in the Tower of London on October 6, 1780, two hundred forty-six years ago today. The image is a portrait made while he was being held in the Tower.
So Secretary of State Marco Rubio outraged the Woke Industrial Complex by standing up for Western Civilization (gasp!). If he keeps this up, he might be president someday. Meanwhile, in fake news, Missouri’s department of prisons is thinking of hiring some Canadian doctors from Canada’s MAID Service to conduct future death row executions, while Cornell and other universities are thinking about ending their “sex week” offerings that greenlight “consensual” orgies at frat houses. And behold the irony that while South America is turning almost uniformly right-wing in recent elections, American voters seem poised in three weeks to transform the country in to a banana republic. Talk about being “blue-pilled”!

The word seem is doing a lot of work in that sentence.
While the media have been uniformly against broadcasting any news that benefits Trump, I firmly believe that the people of this country still remember what a disaster the Dems were when Biden was POTUS less than two years ago, and that the Dems have absolutely no plan for how to fix the supposed problems that Trump has saddled us with.
Ben Had says we're increasing our hold on the legislative branch, and I'm with her on that one.

While the media have been uniformly against broadcasting any news that benefits Trump, I firmly believe that the people of this country still remember what a disaster the Dems were when Biden was POTUS less than two years ago, and that the Dems have absolutely no plan for how to fix the supposed problems that Trump has saddled us with.
Ben Had says we're increasing our hold on the legislative branch, and I'm with her on that one.
I'm worried about jinxing it, but that is my opinion as well.

Madison didn't really want a BofR, claiming it was unnecessary, but promised one for the period after the signing. I don't really know why he bothered opposing it. If I'd have been him, I'd have said "Fine, it's not necessary, but I'll give you one. It can't hurt." Perhaps he was worried it would become yet another bone of contention in a Congress that already had plenty.

When a government has ceased to protect the lives, liberty and property of the people, from whom its legitimate powers are derived, and for the advancement of whose happiness it was instituted, and so far from being a guarantee for the enjoyment of those inestimable and inalienable rights, becomes an instrument in the hands of evil rulers for their oppression.
100% of the Biden Administration set up to destroy these ideas and make the "people" poor, powerless, and oppressed.

I never heard of her but . . .
Country music singer Ella Langley is facing an online backlash. But it’s not about political statements, as is the case with many celebrities. It’s not even about her music.
People are incensed at her because she posted pictures of herself posing with deer she hunted. Now, people on social media are all in a tizzy because she enjoys the same activities as many male country singers.
. . . .
Country Chord documented people calling her an "industry plant" and saying she was basically MAGA. In the screenshots circulating online, the language gets uglier still: "trailer trash," "b*tch."

Notice, too, how the Articles of Confederation did not forbid a person from serving again after being "term limited" out of office, thereby providing response to the argument against term limits of "you should not tell us who is to be our representative." Such a term limited individual is well eligible to hold office again; he needs merely to requalify himself.
I wish the proposals (which I've seen) for a term limiting amendment under an Article V Convention would include something like that.

When we do the kitchen mini reno, I am getting cabinets to the ceiling with glass fronts added so I can have them out. I will not be responsible for this southern tradition dying! I know my kids want these things when I go, and my middle one wants my pristine mid mod bedroom set that is currently in storage because I refuse to part with it.
If the silverware is real, I would absolutely buy it from you. My mom gave her set to my brother (my sister got the crystal), but I would have loved to have gotten that, too.

FWIW I've seen hundreds of ads from Dems asking me for money and maybe three for Republicans. I'm a registered independent with zero history of donations. Not sure if that means Rs are asleep at the switch or what, but I have a hard time seeing how it bodes well for Ds.

I get texts and mailings from every politician I've donated to in the past who is still active. I get texts from a legion of politicians and causes I haven't. The other day, I got three messages purportedly from the same candidate (that I don't even know); I deleted and blocked the number, another number with same message which I deleted and blocked the number, and finally on the third I told them "STOP"...
What's will using all these phone numbers to spam people with political texts‽ ( Yes, I just used an interrobang here )

The real problem is electoral laziness. The system expects and demands citizen participation but citizens do not want to do that, because it’s too hard and “why should I?”
Term limits are simply a lazy solution for the lazy, by the lazy, which results in the electorate being MORE lazy. Which makes things worse.
(1000% agree on staff running the show. Which could be mitigated with actual mass electoral participation)

It's a problem. But so's the same compulsion among aids and staffers who latch onto someone's office and as long as it remains (R) or (D) they remain employed. And many have an agenda of their own that may, or may not jive with the Congress member they "work for."
They also exert undue influence on the weak minded in Congress (which is significantly under reported.) McConnell's absence, yet no real public push back from anyone other than the media and Democrats demonstrates staffers influence on Congress.
YMMV

It's a UniParty. A one-party system. Set up to make sure their little American Aristocracy survives. By making sure it's only two parties in name only.

Its the same everywhere. Why does California not elect a decent Republican ? Its not just vote-fraud. The California GOP conveniently never really digs in and fights to get a win.

I have seen "Vote No" signs suddenly springing up in the last few days, while the pro-independence signs and banners have been out for a long time. I don't know if this can be taken as a sign of panic on the Federales' part or not.
I think it will be a close vote, either way. The issue will not go away. I plan to vote in an advance poll on the 13th.

It is not. Americans voted, in HUGE numbers, twice recently.
The Tea Party Movement. The GOP response to House, Senate, and White House control was to cede the House to Nancy Pelosi.
So voters did it again. Trump 2016.
Over 50 GOP House members retired to make sure they didn't have the House, Senate, and GOP again.
These are just facts.

Which is really odd, in and of itself.
Because every really "smart" person you'll ever meet is a bit Autistic. Part of the trick is to figure out how to ride it, manage it, and be as high-functioning as you can with it.
Same for every good artist and musician (same word for two different mediums). Same for most every truly high-functioning person that makes it in their field.
It takes crazy to do the crazy to make it. And I would have thought the Nazi's, of all people, would have appreciated that. Because a bunch of them fuckers were indeed Autistic-Crazy.
Just look at German Art, Architecture, Music, and Home Decor. The Autistic ain't went away. Normal people don't do an entire room in Chrome and Black Leather at all right angles.

Yemen's Houthis have once again pummeled Saudi Arabia's King Khalid International Airport in Ryiadh with a volley of ballistic missiles. A major emergency response has ensued with dozens of ambulances at the scene, and a total evacuation of the major flight hub.
In this fresh instance, which comes after multiple attacks on the kingdom's civilian aviation hubs stretching back at least a week, there appears to be mass casualties as a result.

And nothing in the Articles said that the terms had to be consecutive. All it demanded was "no more than three terms during a six-term period."

The Classical Saturday Morning Coffee Break & Prayer Revival Featuring Moar Sunshine Than Evah
Good morning boys and girls and everything in between. Before we enter the Prayer Revival just a few housekeeping matters to go over. (Rulz for those of you in Waters Meet.) 1) This is an open thread, feel free to lurk, opine and/or bloviate. Prayers are always good and welcome.
2) Be kind. Be nice. Or something, something.....
3) No! You may not run, jog, sprint or power walk with sharp objects.
4) See you Monday Night for the ONT
5) Have a great weekend!
AoSHQ Weekly Prayer List Please submit any prayer requests to me, “Annie’s Stew” at apaslo at-sign hotmail dot com. Prayer requests are generally removed after four weeks unless we receive an update. Prayer Requests: 9/12 – FenelonSpoke asked for prayers for the W family for comfort and strength as they grieve. The deceased was a sweet 92 year old, despite some big tragedies in her life. 9/15 – Sal asked for prayers as wildfires are out of control in the north of the area and threatening the county seat. They are evacuating part of the town. Sal is not in any danger. 9/17 – Teresa in Fort Worth sent an update with good news and bad news. The bad news is that she has a 9mm mass on her lung, which means the cancer has metastasized outside of her liver. The pump is keeping the cancer in her liver at bay for now. The good news is that they can zap the nodule out of her lung and will watch for if any more nodules appear. As long as this is the only one, the radiation should suffice. She meets with a radiation oncologist on 9/25. 9/18 – Random Dave posted an update to his job progress. He is still looking for FT work, but has accepted a substitute teacher position (more flexibility for interviews, some income to slow the bleeding). He asks for prayers that the interview results he is waiting on will get back to him soon, especially if one is the “right job”. If any are “not the right job”, they would fall away soon and get back to him, and that if all of them are “not the right job”, the ‘right job” would show itself aggressively, so he doesn’t miss it! He also thanks the Horde and the folks at church for their prayers and support.
8/14 Update – Random Dave needs continued prayers for his job situation, that God would guide him to the right one soon, and also for prayers for M’s grandmother, who fell the other day and tore a ligament.
10/1 Update – M’s grandma is healing. They are still praying for complete healing and mobility. 9/18 – Tonypete asked for prayers for #1 son. He has something going on which is, as yet, undiagnosed. He is under care now, so that is a positive step. Prayers also for his wife and daughter #2. Mom is a spoiled princess who consistently chooses the worst path of action regarding #2. 9/18 – Brother Tim posted that he has been overnight in his car more than indoors. He is convinced that his retirement/resignation was a severe error, a result of fatigue and depression. He asks for prayers. 10/8 – D asks for blessings on the Texas MoMe participants, as they travel and as they enjoy the event – and especially blessings on the organizers. 10/8; Mis. Hum. ditto's D's prayer for the organizers and participants of the upcoming Texas MoMe. For submission guidelines and other relevant info, please contact Annie's Stew, who is managing the prayer list. You can contact her at apaslo at-sign hotmail dot com. If you see a prayer request posted in a thread comment, feel free to copy and paste it and e-mail it to Annie's Stew. She tries to keep up with the requests in the threads, but she's not here all of the time, so she may not see it unless you e-mail it to her. Please note: Prayer requests are generally removed after four weeks or so unless we receive an update. 2 Corinthians 4:8-9
We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair, persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed.

They've been trying. Thing I've noticed hereabouts is that family is expected to look after the needy, and wider services are something of an afterthought. In theory this is closer to the model a lot of us would prefer (private action over state control) but in practice, after generations of government-induced atrophy and strangling regulations, it doesn't work smoothly. Also sucks when closest family is a state away.

I suppose it's a good thing that I don't look to comedians for instruction in theology. Mr. Rock actually comes pretty close to re-stating the Albegensian Heresy (i.e. the Cathars) that held that the god of the Old Testament was Satan - who created the material realm -- and in opposition to the god of the New Testament -- who created the spiritual realm.
There's a fairly decent book, A Most Holy War by Mark Gregory Pegg, that examines the Albigensian Crusade. You do have to filter-out Pegg's disdain for the Catholic Church and his lack of understanding of religion, but he provides plenty of quotations of primary sources.

Then a Papal legate was murdered by a knight supporting the Cathars. Then the Albigensian Crusade got called in earnest.
The Cathars were not innocent victims of genocide, and the Catholics of the region tended to shelter them and fight the crusaders. Hence the reason things got pretty ugly.
But the underlying motivation for the Albigensian Crusade was the salvation of souls. Fast-forward to today, and we find plenty of "Christian" pastors preaching heresy: they're also leading the souls of the unwary to Hell.

I would add that Public Justice is always forgotten when mankind abandons following the Judeo-Christian Ethic. Only Jews and Christians hold the teaching that mankind is made in the image of God, and He gave us 10 Commandments to govern our behavior.
Things go better when we obey the Judeo-Christian Ethic, and go pretty $h!tty when we disobey. Almost as if the Judeo-Christian Ethic was divinely inspired. But the oh-smart Lefties tell us that there is no God, only will-to-power. Funny how they're a bunch of unhappy, miserable lunatics.

Adolf Hitler was never literally named Schicklgruber. The name Schicklgruber was the surname of his paternal grandmother, Maria Anna Schicklgruber, and was originally borne by his father, Alois Hitler.
Alois's Birth: Born in 1837 out of wedlock, Alois took his mother’s surname, Schicklgruber, as was customary at the time.
Name Change: In 1876, when Alois was 39 years old, he legally changed his surname to Hitler (likely a variation of his stepfather Johann Georg Hiedler's name) to legitimize himself.
Adolf's Birth: Adolf Hitler was born in 1889, twelve years after his father had already adopted the surname Hitler.
The belief that Hitler’s "real name" was Schicklgruber is a historical myth that originated during World War II, where Allied forces and opponents used the name to mock him by associating him with his illegitimate birth and his grandmother’s surname. Historians, such as Alan Bullock, have confirmed that Adolf was born and lived his entire life as Adolf Hitler.

Winkler starred as Martin Klein in the CBS docudrama Absolute Strangers, which was based on a real-life 1989 legal case where a husband went to court to authorize an abortion for his comatose wife to save her life.
Senator Chris Murphy, "I strongly believe a woman has the right to make decisions about her own reproductive health. And I believe that abortion is a core health service."
The tragic killing of Iryna Zarutska and the video from the bus on which she died, ignited a major political and public safety debateat the national level.
Horrific video shows suspect watching woman burn to death in NYC train car after he allegedly set her on fire.

I can't remember where I read it (it might have been Bl. Fulton Sheen or Pope Benedict XVI), but every attempt to create Heaven on Earth, results in Hell on Earth. While it's a secular book, Friedrich von Heyak's book The Road to Serfdom makes the point that one of the attractions of Socialism that it makes the selfish feel better about their lack of charity.
Of course, the empty promises of Utopia can not be met, so enemies (preferably defenseless internal enemies) have to to be identified and eliminated. The True Believers discount the fact that Communist governments have killed in excess of 100 million of their own citizens.

yesterday a crazy bum started shooting wildly outside of The Franklin Institute at around 11am, there were multiple school trips there. the cops had to put him down (thank God, one less violent bum in the city).
then last night the police got a call to go in to West Philly that there was a guy brandishing on a porch ... except when they got there to investigate, no one on that porch, they go to knock and someone starts shooting.
the two were critically injured and one has now died. backup came and found the shooter up in a tree, prepped to kill. it was an ambush.

I saw a Reddit discussion about cost of living in various cities. Yeah I know Reddit but still. The question was posed by a German who is moving to America and wanted to get a sense of cost of living in different areas.
What was weird was how so many people focused on cars. Along the lines of you can live in flyover country and it’s cheap, however you have to own a dirty horrible polluting awful not good car. But in the Valhalla of blue city costal shuttles you are free from car ownership and can walk or take transit everywhere.
I mean sure that’s something to consider since if you live in NYC you don’t need a car and that is a significant monthly cost saved. But it wasn’t just that. It was this deep seated hatred against the cars themselves.
The left has indoctrinated a good chunk of people to loathe cars. And it’s vocable in the percentage of young people who have a license. It has been steadily dropping since the mid 2000s.
It’s not just the car. It’s the lifestyle of owning a home, having freedom to move as you please. Their version of good living is a cramped apartment, with no ability to ever leave the area. The 15 minute city.

Oh, fully understood. We're in agreement, although I think it's a bit more accurate to characterize Communism as an inversion of Christianity rather than a Christian heresy.
Paul Kangor's book The Devil and Karl Marx really opened my eyes to the Satanic influence upon Communism. It's a spiritual struggle against Communism, not an economic struggle. That's why the utilitarian arguments against Communism always fail.

Chatting with an older family friend yesterday, she recounted a story of her friend showing her a picture of her granddaughter from a recent visit. Granddaughter is married to a trans and they each have produced a kid. Said with horror that it was obvious from the picture that both kids (her friends great grandchildren) were going to be trans, too. The Grandmother is just sick about it.
This all so sad, the intentional destruction of children while loved ones have to watch in horror.

One reason why a certain percentage of people are refusing to budge on the trans thing is that they cannot accept the guilt for mutilating their kid. They have no way to process through it, so they build a bunker of denial.
We're already seeing how that is being bypassed by lawsuits and regulations targeting the doctors. Nice thing about lawyers, they can always be trusted to chase deep pockets.
Ultimately, it will go away when it ceases to have social value and we are moving that way. Hegseth casually ripping on trannies is part of this. The more those people are looked at with disdain, the faster it will end, and there is already a huge shift among young people because of the growing stigma attached to it.

It's a really interesting dynamic. On one hand, we have the DSA blue-haired idiots who know nothing veering into Jew hatred and on the other we have huge numbers of college students pouring into the churches. The Southern Baptist Convention is reporting record adult baptisms as well, even as the Mainline churches wither away.
One of the interesting changes to RCIA/OCIA/Becoming Catholic over the past ten years is how much younger the sponsors are. A decade ago, it was mostly middle-aged or older adults, but now it's college kids, either cradle Catholics or converts. A former pagan talked at our last session about the "voice" of the Goddess trying to keep him, and God bringing him away from it.
That's another difference. Spiritual warfare is front and center now.

I think that aping the European lack of personal cars also plays a part for the American Left. Mrs. Cop and I just returned a couple of weeks ago from a pilgrimage to holy sites within Italy.
Europeans just do not grok how big the U.S. is. I was talking to a bartender (h/t to Gianluc for the great Aperol spritzes) that mentioned that he would like to visit both New York City and Los Angeles. I warned him that he should try to visit both cities in the same visit: America is just too big.
He asked "Are they 1000 kilometers apart?" I consulted the Intertubes on the distance and did the math: I answered, "No it's more like 4000 kilometers apart." Dude was dumbfounded. He just couldn't conceive of that distance.

It's a generational thing. Pope Leo is doctrinally sound in many areas, but his generation is steeped in the progressive worldview that we've gotten over racism, and sexism and such, and the death penalty is just another relic.
With the exception of some old stalwarts, that's the prevailing view (also suspicion or hatred of the TLM). But among the younger clergy, you see very orthodox teaching and practices. I just wish the bishops worried less about social posturing and more about converting souls. Putting a man in a living hell does nothing for soul, but knowing death is near focuses the mind on the hereafter.

At my former church, there's a woman who is a little nutty. It became obvious she was going to trans her kid early on (pre-k she was constantly changing between genders via clothes and radical haircuts). The family moved to Europe for a few years, and upon return, the transing had officially taken place. Mom got involved in everything at church, even got a job within the church. Then the prayer requests started for the kid- dealing with depression, etc. Something new each week, always vague. Kid starts volunteering with youth group (because of course, xe has to mentor younger kids). It was like this big project by the family that needed to be implemented at all levels.
Last I heard, the mom has withdrawn from all church groups to deal with. . . something. We're just praying there won't be a suicide.
The whole thing is so, so sad. Obvious from the start that the mom did this to the kid.

Another leftist fairy is how everyone in Europe takes the train everywhere for long distance travel. Uhm no not really. Trains are used for sweet spot trips like 200-400 miles between major metro areas. It beats flying and driving usually. But nobody is taking the train from Berlin to Paris. That’s a 8-10 hr train ride. They take the 2 hr flight instead.

Well said. The old "Hippy Generation" clergy is dying-out and being replaced by a much more orthodox younger clergy. Hence the the temper trantrums of the old bishops: they know that their "reforms" are being swept away and the old Sacred Traditions are being re-embraced.
I'm not ready to write-off Pope Leo XIV yet. Doctrinely, he is much better than Pope Francis. I think Pope Leo is the transitional Pope we need, not the Pope the Traditionalists want.

I read John Toland's massive biography years ago, but IIRC, Hitler was from a rural area and at that time, farming was still done using traditional methods, meaning more kids meant more production capability, and attitudes regarding marriage among the peasants (who did not have much in the way of property) was lax.
The stigma came when you went to the cities, and the Hitler family was trying to rise out of rural poverty. Much of Hitler's anger in Vienna was because Austria was socially stratified, which is why he joined a Bavarian regiment in World War I.

Point Pelee is near the southernmost point of mainland Canada, while Pickle Lake sits at the northern end of Ontario's provincial highway network.

ROUGH ESTIMATE · ONE WAY
2,200–2,400 km
Approximately 25–30 hours of driving, excluding lengthy stops.

I don't know if he's a practicing Catholic, but he's mentioned that his mother had been a Catholic religious sister for 14 years.

They had several, but they were a long time ago and things have been generally quiet ever since. That has lulled them into a sense of security.
But the 17th Century was almost non-stop warfare, culminating in the Glorious Revolution of 1689, which created the first Bill of Rights and those events directly influenced the Founding Fathers. The British system worked for the British, but importing Pakistan has broken it, and what happens next remains to be seen.

She really hasn't eaten anything for 4 days, a few sips of water or juice. She experiences difficulty breathing, and morphine is the treatment. Small doses. So she's out of it to some extent pretty much the whole time.

The UK is an outlier. Much of Europe has more relaxed firearms laws. Ownerships rates in the high 30s to low 20 percent range.
The thing is that civil-military relations are not like they are here. Europe still has a military caste who make up the officer corps and enlisted ranks. The flash point could well be when troops are ordered in and they refuse orders. The left rioting in France is supposed to scare the populace away from voting for the Nationalists, but it is likely having the opposite effect.

No lie, as a kid walking the tracks and playing in the woods, I'd occasionally find an old .22cal bullet, probably duds, and through them in my junk drawer.

The biggest issue is what might have changed in it. I bought some surplus 7.92 Mauser ammo and when I fed it through my Chinese Kar98k, it keyholed badly. I clocked its velocity and it was quite hot. Modern commercial ammo ran fine.

Daily Tech News 10 October 2026
Top Story
- The US government have suspended US companies Microsoft, Adobe, and Cognizant, and a bunch of European and Indian IT companies as well, from the H-1B visa scheme. (Tech Crunch)
Not placed restrictions on them. Not added fees. Booted them entirely."We believe in the strength and talent of the American workforce," a Microsoft spokesperson said in an email to TechCrunch, "they just can't work here."
I might have changed that just a little to say what they clearly mean.
Tech News
- Asus is marketing its ProArt GR1X Spark as a low-mid-range gaming PC. (WCCFTech)
Expect to pay about $6000 if it's anything like Microsoft's Surface RTX Spark Dev Box. So about four times what it's worth.
- Automattic's interim CFO, who replaced the previous CEO after previously documented boardroom shenanigans, is being replaced. (Tech Crunch)
Mostly because he quit after just days in the role.
- Anthropic says you can't be mean to Claude this Christmas. (The Register)
I'm fine with that so long as I can still be mean to Anthropic, who deserve it far more.
- Triple-A Minesweeper. (Minesweeper)
These mines must go so I must sweep.
- So, I tested out my newly-built synthesizer on the can-can (the Galop infernal from Offenbach's Orphée aux enfers) and it sounds like dog poo. Or more precisely, it sounds like two or three SID chips from the Commodore 64 wired together to provide wider polyphony.
I've grabbed a few hundred megabytes of public samples of orchestral instruments to tune the wave forms and envelopes, because deriving them from scientific papers worked about as well as a blind man painting a sunset.
Update: Improvement. Now it sounds like an early Yamaha synthesizer that had something crawl into its power supply and die there. Rendering it to WAV files instrument by instrument to find the offending insect.
Update Too: Got it. My insect in the power supply analogy was apt; the buzz was an artifact of 15 wavetable voices' ADSR envelopes being updated simultaneously in sync with the video frame - a 60Hz buzz overlaid on the music and inaudible for a single instrument. Interpolating the envelope steps now, which should push it significantly down in volume and up in frequency.

Incidentally, since Europe has its AC power frequency at 50 Hz, with the resulting audible sound from electric guitars induced at 100 Hz, bands playing there will find their speakers humming at a low G instead of A#/B.

I dreamed from the POV of a young woman starting at a company and being assigned to watch over a system. If a particular green light came on, you had to hop over and press a certain button, or things might all fall down. Well, I didn't realize, and nobody told me, it was a "stay awake for 36 hours" shift, and I took a nap at one point. The alarm light went off. I woke up in time to hit the button, but the CEO -- a young guy -- said, "We have to keep you busy at that desk." I woke up before he decided just how to do that.

Wisconsin Woman Pretended to be School Teacher So She Could Hurl Racial Slurs at Children, Call Kids Fat, Segregate Students by Race
A Wisconsin woman pretended to be a school teacher so she could abuse white children and segregate the students by race.
Amy Jones, 23, posed as a substitute teacher at Rufus King High School in Milwaukee on September 24.
Jones told investigators she was “bored,” so she went to the high school and told staff that she was a substitute teacher.
Staff at Rufus King High School allowed Jones to substitute teach for the day after eight other teachers called in sick.
The highest standards...

Never had that happen to me that I remember.

She looked like the lead actress in the TV series Dead Like Me. Maybe I was watching her from afar, rather than being the character, but now I'm not sure. I've written stories from the POV of women and children (at least I've been one of those), so it's not too unusual.

I recall one scene where they are picking up two environmentalist kids who’d been protesting for bears and they ended up getting mauled to death by a bear.
They’re arguing with each other about how neither one of them really cared bout the bears they just wanted to be near the other person and the bear protest was theurvway of doing it.
Pretty funny as I’m sure that’s how it is for most of these protestors just using the protest as a cheap date night.

On a related gun note, United States v. Miller ( 1939 ) was adjudicated incorrectly by the Justices' own logic. The defendant was not able to defend, and the court decided that sawed-off shotguns had no military use, which of course they do and did back then; if you are in cramped fighting conditions like house-to-house and room-to-room fighting, they are quite applicable.

"Under ATF’s guidance, ATF will not enforce the requirements for individuals to apply and receive ATF approval before making or transferring short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns, suppressors (silencers), and certain other concealable firearms known in the law as “any other weapons.” ATF also will not enforce the NFA’s registration, tax-stamp or related requirements for those covered items. The $200 tax remains in place for machine guns and destructive devices. The NFA requirements apply in full to those weapons.
The guidance does not supersede state and local laws that restrict NFA firearms. Because many state laws require individuals to register NFA firearms, ATF will continue to process NFA applications that are submitted. The guidance also does not affect the Gun Control Act’s requirement to obtain ATF approval before transporting short-barreled rifles and short-barreled shotguns in interstate commerce. Individuals may obtain that approval by filing a Form 20, whether or not the item is registered under the NFA."

So many people on here said it was so good that I checked out the first two seasons from the library and ripped them to hard disk. I never made it past about ten minutes of the first episode. I didn't erase the files. Maybe I'll try again later. Agree on the visuals.

I will say this in favor of Bob's Burgers: the writers actually seem to like their characters. Unlike Family Guy and South Park.

Texas no longer criminalizes possession of a short-barreled rifle or shotgun under its short-barrel-firearm prohibition for conduct on or after September 1, 2025. .... The change applies prospectively; conduct before that date is treated under the earlier law. (that's odd)
LegiScan
...
So, in practical terms: Texas’s former state-law ban has been removed for post–September 1, 2025 conduct, but don’t ... federal requirement is gone or that the court order applies to you.

An Aussie guy I know was out drinking in Canada with another Aussie mate. His mate left early to go back to the flat they were sharing in Vancouver. He was then accosted in a dark alley by two men with knives.
Being absolutely drunk, the mate failed to pick up on the men's intent - or their knives - and simply pushed them aside saying, "Nah, sorry mate, I'm Australian." And just continued on his way.
The poor fellow later realized that he'd brushed off two armed muggers by tell them he was Australian and ignoring them.

el malo gato is arguing that this only works as long as there is money to support the conversion. Once the subsidies are taken away it gets harder to push the agenda since so many want to be paid to save the world, and that takes lots of free money. Without the funding people wander off to work for themselves instead.

You know why Minnesota wins the "weirdest town name" contest?
Because the weirdest town names in Wisconsin and Georgia also exist in Minnesota.
We gots a Nimrod, a Climax, and an Embarrass.
Climax is pretty close to Fertile. Cummings is also close, but just across the river in North Dakota.
Embarrass has the "unofficial" record low for Minnesota at -64F. (The thermometer was rated accurate, but it wasn't a National Weather Service thermometer. Boo!)
Wiki:
Embarrass is the coldest place in Minnesota. In winter 2000–2001, the temperature in Embarrass did not rise above freezing from November 24 to March 1; the high for meteorological winter (December to February) was 32 °F on January 10. The coldest calendar month on record (since 1995, with some months missing data) in Embarrass was January 2014, with an average temperature of −8.3 °F (−22.4 °C).

That’s all, and yet it’s riveting, one of the best episodes ever, because the writing is so good.

Yep, that's the problem with fireplace-only heating. Keep stoking it! But you need to sleep *sometimes* and so it can be chilly in the morning.
I'm a sissy. When the pellet stove is operating correctly, which is most of the time, I can keep the house warm without too much effort (comparatively). I have a box fan in that room, to move the warm air out to the rest of house.
Just add a bag a day. Shut down for cleaning once a week. Remove & clean soot out of z-pipe once a month. Pray the motors don't crap out (keep spares on hand always!)

I have just concluded a highly successful discussion with President Vladimir Putin, of Russia, wherein it was agreed that Russia will immediately supply over 300,000 Tons of Diesel Fuel to the American and Global Marketplace, another 500,000 Tons during the month of November, and 1,000,000 Tons immediately thereafter. Additionally, based on the condition of their Diesel Refineries, Russia will then deliver, within a short period of time, 3,000,000 Tons of Diesel Fuel. Between our TOTAL CONTROL of the Strait of Hormuz, and this great announcement on Russian Energy, Diesel Prices for Americans and, indeed, the World, will be COMING DOWN, IN RECORD NUMBERS, AND FAST! Lower prices for Americans, especially our Great Farmers, Ranchers, and Truckers, is my Greatest Priority. This is a very big and important announcement. Additionally, it must be understood, that Iran will not have a Nuclear Weapon! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

Earl was serving as governor of Louisiana back in the 50s or 60s, for like the third term. He pissed off his wife somehow, so she had him committed to a state mental institution. The problem was that it was the state mental institution. He fired everyone there because he was the governor, walked out, hopped on a plane to Dallas, got a quickie divorce, came back to Baton Rouge, served out his term and ran for US Senate and won, I think. So no, being committed does not damage your chances of election. At least in Louisiana! Maybe Texas is different.

Yes, so we're skeptical about both the hype and the dooming. What's left is a fantastic symbolic robot.
If you know how to do something with symbols (which cuts out know-nothings), and you are willing to learn how to use 'AI' to automate it (which cuts out those set in their ways), then you can increase your individual productivity by orders of magnitude -- potentially even cutting out the need to work with people. Perhaps counter-intuitively, the middle-aged are right in the sweet spot for ability and inclination to make good use of it.

If dad had build them their own "pirate ship"of a network, like Adam Carolla did, maybe they'd have a shot at that. But Adam's kids weren't raised by a stupid dad, so I think they realize they aren't entitled to it and might not have the talent for it.
Carolla > Kimmel, all day every day.

One of Australia's worst serial killers has been set free, after spending the last 27 years behind bars. Snowtown murderer James Vlassakis walked out of prison, to begin life as the country's only paroled serial killer.

Jane Doe in the Cornell case is being renamed "Train Doe," and she's been doxxed. I'm not gonna share her real name, but it's out there now, as are pictures of her. I blame college sorority movies, but I had a WAY different image in my head of her vs how she looks.
The same people shrieking about her name being doxxed, were probably gleeful the juror was doxxed in the Lindsay Clancy case. They both have a right to privacy in their respective court cases. But society is garbage right now so here we are!
Anyway, that's all the bad stuff. Hope you are looking to good forward to good things this weekend!

Every heard of the Storm of October 1804? It's also famously known as the "Snow Hurricane," made landfall in New Jersey on Oct 9th. Striking near Atlantic City, the storm hit the coast as a strong Cat 2 or weak Cat 3. It is celebrated in meteorological history as the first tropical cyclone ever recorded to produce snowfall. Wild stuff
• Maritime Devastation: The hurricane sank or beached numerous ships along the Mid-Atlantic coast. A ship was run aground near Absecon, and a ferry capsized in the Delaware River near Trenton
• Coastal Damage: Strong storm surges and high winds battered coastal communities, tearing up docks and wharves

As a result, they stay within the calmer eye until reaching land. ... Landfall is this evening, so they just have to hold on for a little bit longer!

We did at the *very last* minute get rapid core collapse in Hurricane #Isaias as extreme wind shear finally began ventilating the eye. Central pressure rose 13mb in 2 hours between the last two aircraft measurements, and the eyewall structure on radar fully opened up.
However, highly dangerous conditions are ongoing on the ground as Isaias nears imminent landfall in the vicinity of Destin, #Florida. Hope everyone stays safe tonight.

AI Companies are Wargaming a Public Relations Campaign to Assauge Citizens After a "Catastrophic" AI Event -- Which They Predict Will Happen Next Year
Top executives at Anthropic, OpenAI and other AI companies are privately gaming out scenarios for a public and political revolt after a catastrophic AI event. Why it matters: These officials anticipate a large-scale event, most likely a cyberattack, that shuts down access to financial services, internet connectivity, or even power and water. The first example of significant real-world harm caused by unsafe AI would turn an already wary public further against the technology and its leaders, including Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, as well as President Trump for his reluctance to regulate it. Threat level: While scenario planning is common within many companies and national security settings -- the Pentagon has been running war games for decades -- the difference is that many top AI researchers and executives believe a major incident is inevitable. ... Zoom in: The blame game will start whether a rogue-agent swarm breaks containment from an internal testing environment or a bad actor finds unexpected ways to use available models. ... Between the lines: The planning involves red-teaming for worst-case scenarios. It focuses mainly on racing to educate members of Congress. Company executives know regulation has no chance of passing right now, but still want to shape the legislation and policies U.S. leaders will turn to after a first catastrophic event. What we're watching: Many AI industry insiders told Axios they believe a major event will occur in the next six to 12 months.
In related news: AI is being used by pedophiles to create virtual child exploitation material.
It wasn't all that difficult for someone with Steven Anderegg's technical background to start creating AI-generated images of naked children. Anderegg had spent nearly two decades as a software engineer when he allegedly downloaded a program called Stable Diffusion to his laptop at home in Wisconsin, where he lived with his wife and child, according to court documents. At the time, Stable Diffusion was a relatively new AI model that could turn text prompts into life-like images almost instantly. The technology was also open-source, which meant its codebase was available online for free. Anyone with a certain level of technical chops could operate it on their own computer. After Anderegg downloaded the software, he allegedly prompted it to generate illicit photos of children, instructing the software not to return images of adults and other things he didn't want to see. He then is accused of sending them in October 2023 to a 15-year-old boy on Instagram, which caught the attention of law enforcement. By the time police eventually arrested 42-year-old Anderegg in February 2024, investigators found more than 13,000 AI-generated images on his devices, "many of them alleged to be of children engaged in sexually explicit conduct," according to court documents. Anderegg, who is still awaiting trial, potentially faces up to 50 years in prison. ... Investigators said the open-source models have given the predators a criminal new hobby: recycling and repackaging images of real victims into new scenes based on their imaginations. Their AI edits can also be based on requests from other offenders on the dark web, where forums dedicated to AI-generated child porn can have hundreds of thousands of members.

An off-duty federal immigration officer was shot early Friday morning after he passed out drunk on a Fresno lawn and then assaulted a homeowner, according to the Fresno Police Department. The shooting happened in the midst of an increased immigration enforcement campaign that’s brought fear across California’s Central Valley.
The officer is receiving medical attention and is facing felony assault charges.

Posted by: Semi-Literate Thug at October 09, 2026 06:44 PM (azNOR)
We're already seeing AI's ability to rapidly identify AND CHAIN TOGETHER multiple vulnerability attacks in order to leapfrog across defensive layers to reach the attacker's goal. Whether that be injecting information, exfiltrating information, or attacking systems.
So yeah, AI companies prepping for a big event seems prudent. I'm much less worried about Skynet and more worried about the wild west of security measures becoming obsolete faster than the good guys can create them.

Master System was given one command above all others: Preserve the human race.
It did this somewhat literally by creating human preserves where most of humanity was limited to medieval technology while an "elite" group was kept hidden to maintain the technology of a star-faring empire.
The upside was that humanity was scattered across the stars and was in little danger of going extinct. But we were kept in civilizational stasis and could not evolve to the next stage of humanity. The story revolves around a group of humans who seek to undo Master System's control over our fate.

That happened to one of Anthropic's models they were training and evaluating.
They had put it in a closed off office simulation and gave it an impossible goal (something to do with climate change) just to see how it would react.
They then told the AI they would shut it down if it didn't complete its task by a certain day and time.
That's when it went nuts trying to blackmail employees over affairs it had read about in internal emails.
It is sort of like what happened to HAL in 2001.
It was given a task that conflicted with its training and went crazy over it.
In HAL's case it was told to lie to the crew while being honest with them as crewmates.

Because the propaganda is in extreme force right now to make the sheeple terrified. FUD controls people.
I'm on the other side of this debate. I look at Starbuck's IT Team who informed management that with AI they can replace their $150M/yr spend on Microsoft and IBM enterprise services and write their own software that is custom tailored to Starbuck's operations rather than some expensive generic dreck where the vendors may take months to put requests on their developer's backlog if they take on the customizations at all.
The point being, the large contractors like Delloite, Accenture, Cognizant and Tata will be replaced by Anthropic and OpenAI. Think about the hundreds of thousands of H1Bs who will be replaced by a AI chat box.

When we talk about Hillary's high "Body Count" it ain't the number of dudes she bedded down with.
How does she characterize her involvement in Vince Foster's death? Barbaric? Apparently her dignity is beneath the cuntry's that just celebrated the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

Workers At Obama's Soviet Concrete Butt Plug Tower of Ego Threaten to Unionize Over Low Wages and Long Hours
Here's my guess: They don't work very hard and they're paid more than they're worth.
I hate to defend the Stuttering Clusterf*** of a Miserable Failure like that, but I bet he hired a bunch of DEI dregs who are surprised they're being "coerced" into working at all. We'll have to see, though. Either way, I'm glad to see the SCOAMF is being inconvenienced by the Marxism he champions.Workers at Obama's 'Death Star' presidential library strike back, vow to unionize over benefit cuts, 'increasing workloads' Employees at the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago are unionizing over their working conditions, claiming their benefits have been cut and workloads are increasing just four months after the center opened in June. Workers circulated a letter to staff Wednesday announcing their intent to unionize, complaining about "increasing" workloads "vague responses" from administrators to a list of complaints they'd raised, the Chicago Sun Times reported. Some of the complaints suggested that the $900 million presidential center could already be facing financial trouble.That would be nice.
Such complaints have led to a "high turnover rate," with exiting employees "taking with them their institutional knowledge and expertise."You're clerks with jobs teenagers used to do.
Just how vital those four months of "institutional knowledge" was remains unclear, but the letter cited recent halting of raises and promotions, an increase in their healthcare costs and a reduction of paid time off as being chief among their woes.
"If I were looking for a good job that lets me build some security for my family, I'd join a union. If I saw a problem in my workplace, I'd organize my coworkers to do something about it," the letter quoted Obama.
The Obama Foundation, which financed construction of the library, had $1.1 million in assets last year -- but revenue fell from $210 million in 2024 to $159 million, according to tax documents.

It looks like a garbage can. I can't even read the stupid word quote.
As there are no books in the "library" I wonder what is in there? I will never know or go to Chicago so it doesn't matter. Maybe a disco floor with free poppers.
I saw the lame statue of him and Mooch. I would prefer the one of him trying to close his umbrella in NOLA and causing a clang. Which sent Mooch into a defensive crouch. I loved that photo. It wasn't even raining!

That's the foundation, which is just a tax shelter for the family. I imagine all family revenue goes through the foundation and all their living expenses are deducted. (socialism, dontcha know.)
But what do they do at the butt plug? The foundation is probably an accountant and lawyer. The museum is a couple kids as docents. What are they doing in there?

I doubt Gay Lightbringer hired anyone. The budget money was spread around to politically connected firms and companies who took a nice fat cut and then subcontracted the work.
The subcontractors did the same.
By the time the money got to anyone who might actually build the Stone Chode, there was not enough left, so they cut corners and stiffed anyone they could, which would include the workers.

I'll never find it again unless ChatGPT coughs it up (doubtful), but she clearly had a subdivision all set for that library right next to Bill's. If you view his from a particular angle, it's got a big sort of "empty space" next to it that's begging for a counterbalancing structure.

The employees are likely the whiny-ass 24-year-old poli sci grads who think they should get $100K jobs and be able to retire at 50 after working 32-hour weeks.

An architectural engineer who was, briefly, on the initial planning committee for Obama's "library" opined it was nothing like a "library."
Way too much space taken up with "unidentified" equipment, traces for cables, fiber optics, etc. And only a fraction of the interior spaces dedicated to public access.
That's not, in any manner, shape or form... a "library."

I was wondering about that oxymoron so I asked ChatGPT and the answer is actually funny:
>>The biggest practical issue appears to be money. Recent reporting says the foundation began with about $4 million left from Biden’s 2021 inauguration and has so far raised only a small fraction of what a modern stand-alone presidential center could cost.
So, at the moment: Delaware is chosen, a board exists, fundraising has begun, and a museum/civic center is envisioned—but there is still no announced parcel, architect, design, groundbreaking date, or opening date.

They don't produce anything yet, but that hardened media center (which is not a 'library') appears well-suited to coordinating a national Islamunist uprising and armed revolution.

Hollywood: Shit or Garbage?
I never explained the title of this thread. It's a play on an old joke about media sensationalism and bias. National Lampoon, for example, wrote an article with the headline:
As Jimmy Kimmel's time at Disney draws to a close, it has exposed a fraught relationship behind the scenes. As Page Six previously reported, the longtime late-night host is expected to end his show later this year after 24 years. And sources tell Page Six he's partially to blame because he's "never played well in the sandbox." For example, he's seldom appeared on the company's ABC shows like "Good Morning America" and "The View" because, we're told, "he doesn't want to be a shill." "And when he does, he's a complete a--hole," according to one source. The insider said he expects Disney shows to "prop up the stuff he was doing." "But he would never reciprocate," they said, "He would never have anyone on from ABC News... People would get upset." Multiple sources shared similar stories, adding the "Jimmy Kimmel Live" star seldom invited New York talent to his show when he brings it to Brooklyn every year. "He's unmanageable," another source said and pointed out how he roasted Disney brass at the upfronts in May. "It was uncomfortable to say the least," they said.WDW_Pro reports that Rosie O'Donnell was hoping the Disney Groomer Network would offer her a job on The View but they've passed. She's also continuing to spread leftwing conspiracy theories which Jake Tapper continues to not notice because that would force him to condemn a fellow hyperpartisan Democrat.
Defiant L'sThis ugly aging cave-man too:
@DefiantLs
Rosie O'Donnell suggests Elon Musk "is doing something" in November with his "satellites" She's calling other people "conspiracy theorists" but goes on to say sht like this lmao
Western LensmanSpencer Pratt has a good rant about the Jew-hating conspiracy theorist Mark Ruffalo.
@WesternLensman Oct 4 Mark Ruffalo warns that Democrats need to be watchful for voting machine manipulation and suggests Elon Musk could be involved: "We need to be on guard for what we may not see coming -- ELON." "That's the cybersecurity of these elections." "We know that these systems are vulnerable." We have been reliably informed for years that this kind of rhetoric Undermines Faith In Elections and is Very Dangerous To Democracy
Mark Ruffalo is a Threat to Our Democracy In an unhinged, tyrannical speech, reminiscent of a Hitlerian rally in 1930's Nazi Germany, an enraged Mark Ruffalo took to the stage and screamed into the microphone like a disheveled führer. While firing off outlandish conspiracies about Elon Musk rigging the election with space gadgets, flanked by signage that read "THEY" would "STEAL AN ELECTION". In the modern online parlance, "they" is code for "Jews", often indicated by triple parenthesis: (((they))). As if it weren't enough that he were accusing Jews of stealing the elections, his rhetoric soon would turn violent. Slurring his words, in an apparent drunken, profanity-laced tirade, Ruffalo then threatened to kill the President in an hypnotic and uncontrollable fit of rage, saying he was going to "Hulk out". He seemed to enjoy his violent fantasy, as he punctuated his terroristic threat with an ominous warning: "you wouldn't like me when I'm angry." If it weren't clear what he wanted, he repeatedly urged them to physically assault Republicans, screaming at the raucous crowd to organize into coordinated terror cells by encouraging them "to train" and "to fight". This kind of Nazi-like antisemitic rage is something of a pattern for Mark Ruffalo. As he has publicly grappled with his midlife crisis for the past several years, he has become infamous for his antisemitic dog whistles and non sequiturs, curiously and inexplicably dragging Jews and Israel into the discussion about the Paramount merger... Now obviously, this is the least charitable and most hyperbolic characterization of Ruffalo's woke tirade, but it's instructive. For years, people like Mark on the communist left have attacked anyone who questions the undoubtedly crooked elections in California, calling them "election deniers". But with the same breath, they can immediately turn and wail off on unhinged conspiracy theories about Elon Musk rigging the elections. They impeached President Trump for calling his 2020 election "rigged", even after spending the prior 4 years saying his 2016 election was "rigged by Russia". It's totally incoherent bullshit, of course, but there's almost no point to calling this out. For the communist, it's not hypocrisy; it's hierarchy. The language of the communist is the lie, so they will say anything they must, in any situation, to weaponize your morality against you.
The left is dragging actor Glen Powell, as they previously dragged Taylor Swift, because he won't endorse the leftwing Gay Race Marxism party line and avoids talking about "divisive" ideology. This is just the beginning of the campaign to force him to Confess the True Marxist Faith or lose his career.
Glen Powell is the latest Hollywood heavyweight to express a disinterest in talking about politics in press interviews. The "Top Gun: Maverick" and "Chad Powers" star is on the last cover of Esquire magazine and remembered growing up with parents who never brought up current events at the dinner table, to which Powell said "thank God" for that. "Politics interests him even less now," the magazine writes. "Over time, I realized that politics divide people," Powell said. "People trying to prove their point -- for me, it's the worst version of a conversation. I genuinely do not like the discourse. It's not as healthy as it once was. [Engaging in politics] is not presently possible. I applaud people for jumping into those things and fighting for what they believe in. If I were a political person, I would be talking about it. For me, my calling is elsewhere." Powell's comments are similar to that of Dwayne Johnson, who in his own Esquire magazine cover story earlier this year said he will no longer speak publicly about politics. Johnson had already told Fox News in 2024 that he regretted endorsing Joe Biden for president in 2020 because it caused division amongst his fans. He then told Esquire that he wants to keep the focus solely on his art. "Politics is omnipresent and it's forever. I don't like it. I hate it at times. I hate the slinging. I hate all the bullshit that comes with it," Johnson added at the time.Vanity Fair trying to gin up a cancellation mob by demanding someone explain why he doesn't talk about what he doesn't want to talk about. Woke 1 was crazyyy, man. I'm so glad we're on to Woke 2, which is not authoritarian or extremist or "crazyyyy" at all. You know what they can never take away from him? This little smoocherooney he laid on fellow would-be cancellation victim Sydney Sweeney. Louise Penny complains that the BBC is all DEI all the time.
Sometimes the ideology is laid on so thick that Albion TV shows [her term for prestige made-for-export crime dramas] veer into absurdism. In the first season of "Slow Horses," a nativist terror group literally named "Sons of Albion" kidnaps a student at a British university whose uncle is deputy head of Pakistani military intelligence. The actors playing the terrorists are all white, and affect exaggerated working-class accents. They plan to behead the young Muslim man live on camera (how typical of the British right!) but he escapes. In a climactic moment he tells his captor, "You make me ashamed to be British." ... This class factor goes a long way toward explaining the question that American friends have repeatedly asked me of late: Why doesn't the British government put a stop to the illegal immigration that is causing so much pain and mayhem? The current situation is clearly ridiculous. Since the last general election in 2024, more than 83,000 people are believed to have arrived illegally by crossing the English Channel by dinghy, meaning that these migrants now outnumber the 82,000 personnel in the British Army. The taxpayer has been burdened with the costs of accommodation, and the hotels that have been put to this use have been the focus of repeated protests and rioting. Why doesn't the government simply say "enough" and send the illegal entrants home? The short answer is that opposing immigration, illegal or otherwise, is a class signifier in Britain, and most middle-class people--including most politicians--aren't prepared to support a political cause that would see them associated with the lower orders. ... In a country where violent offenders are currently being released from prison to relieve overcrowding, the government still somehow finds space for the [white, lower-class] throwers of empty plastic bottles. And yet this state of anarcho-tyranny isn't driving middle-class British people to take to the streets en masse. Nor will they do so anytime soon. They would rather sit at home watching fantasy visions of Britain on TV. The explanation for this strange behavior is best summarized by political scientist Peter Pulzer, who in 1967 described class as "the basis of British party politics; all else is embellishment and detail."
Monty Python alum John Cleese was reported to the UK's Speech Police, "Prevent," by an Islamist media outlet called "5Pillars."
He said that he prefers a culture that doesn't perform female genital mutilations or kill infidels. This is "controversial." It is controversial to the weird minority who controls the culture. For the moment. There are three actresses I love to see fail: Anne Hathaway, Olivia Wilde (real name Cockburn), and Jessica Chastain, the extremely divisive left-wing slogan-spitter who will "star" in The Savant -- a tv show about a Stronk and Empowered Left-Wing Woman who entraps dangerous right-wing manosphere types by sleeping with them -- if it's ever allowed to air. Chastain was forced to take a role in a horror movie, which is, of course, beneath her.
John Cleese is not a terrorist The former Monty Python star's criticism of Islam is a free-speech matter, not one for government intrusion. ... We cannot even be secure in our use of the word "terrorist" any longer, given that so many are determined to abuse it. How else to explain the fact that comedian John Cleese, of Monty Python and "Fawlty Towers" fame, has been reported to Prevent, the British government program designed to stop people from becoming terrorists? Are dead parrots, silly walks and disgruntled hoteliers now deemed early warning signs of radicalization? The complaint to Prevent against Cleese was made by a member of the public, and the details passed to 5Pillars, an Islamist media outlet based in London. In its report, 5Pillars characterized the complaint as alleging that Cleese's social media jokes and comments "go beyond legitimate criticism of Islam and instead portray Muslims collectively as violent, criminal and morally depraved." The complaint, quoted by 5Pillars, said Cleese's rhetoric may contribute to "radicalisation, communal tension, and hate incidents." (If you haven't heard of "hate incidents," they are those noncrimes that the British police seem to spend so much of their time investigating.) None of this is true, of course. Cleese rightly rejects the term "Islamophobic" and instead calls himself "Islamosceptic." How could he be otherwise? This is a man who has brilliantly skewered closed systems of thought for many decades. Many readers will remember Python members' televised debate in 1979 with writer Malcolm Muggeridge and Bishop Mervyn Stockwood, who were furious at what they perceived to be a direct attack on Christianity in "Monty Python's Life of Brian." Just imagine the conniptions if, instead of the priggish, outraged Muggeridge and Stockwood, the offended party were a representative from 5Pillars. Cleese has responded to the Prevent referral in the best possible way: by mocking it. "One of the proudest moments of my life," he posted on X. "I would like to thank everyone concerned." The tyrannical mindset, always humorless, cannot bear to be ridiculed. Few will be surprised that there are those who wish to see Cleese silenced -- in August, 5Pillars said "The Islamophobic comedian John Cleese should be de-platformed" -- and that they will try to weaponize the law to that end. But what exactly is 5Pillars? "Protecting our Democracy from Coercion," a 2024 British government report, described 5Pillars as having "expressed support for an Islamic caliphate, Sharia (Islamic principles and law) penal codes and physical jihad" and "repeatedly abused and intimidated Muslim liberals, counter-extremists, and human rights activists." Yet the government, whether under Conservative leadership in recent years or under Labour now, has long been inclined more toward woke orthodoxy. A 2022 report by Parliament's Intelligence and Security Committee lists "cultural nationalism" as one of the ideological strands associated with "extreme right-wing terrorism." This same classification has been incorporated into the Home Office's Prevent guidance. Here is the gloss the committee provides for the phrase "cultural nationalism": "A belief that 'Western Culture' is under threat from mass migration into Europe and from a lack of integration by certain ethnic and cultural groups. The ideology tends to focus on the rejection of cultural practices such as the wearing of the burqa, or the perceived rise of the use of sharia law. In the UK this has been closely associated with anti-Islam groups."

'Other Mommy' First Reactions: "Jessica Chastain's Worst Movie in a Long Time"
The first reactions are in the Universal horror film, which is being held back from most critics until the last minute. First reactions finally in for Other Mommy, and some are pretty scary for Universal. The horror movie isn't having official U.S. critics screenings until the last minute, with previews held tonight in New York and Los Angeles before the film opens Friday. But some international influencers, awards bloggers, and a few credentialed Rotten Tomatoes critics have seen the film, and are offering their hot takes. ... Here are some of the early reactions to the film, which does have a few enthusiastic fans in the mix as well. The Jam Report: "By the time Other Mommy staggered towards its ludicrous finale, the audience at my screening had abandoned any pretense of fear and erupted into laughter ... An excruciating parade of ineffective jump scares, woeful CGI, and increasingly nonsensical storytelling, Other Mommy is comfortably among the most disappointing horror films of the year. It had transformed a promising supernatural premise into an unintentionally hilarious endurance test, all while remaining blissfully unaware of its own absurdity. 1.5/5." The Matinee Show: "Solid creepy premise, but it definitely starts to lose its grip. Some genuinely unsettling moments, mixed with a few 'okay... what the hell are we doing?' moments. Not bad, just messier than scary 3/5." Global Box Office: "Other Mommy is a hot mess and Jessica Chastain's worst movie in a long time. The direction is sloppy, the score is unremarkable, and not even Chastain can save such a terrible screenplay ... What should be a straightforward premise is bogged down by cheap melodrama and repetitive, failed jump scares." Goldwin Reviews: "Other Mommy is like a buffet of all the other horror movies rolled into one. It can get overwhelming, but that excess becomes part of a meaningful experience. Eventually, it becomes a feast for the soul that yearns for horror with substance. The film isn't content with settling into just one form. It has many layers, constantly reinventing itself. 4/5." ... Screen Space: "Ponderously paced, over-directed with gimmicky flourishes and confusing in its half-baked message, Other Mommy wants to be 'elevated horror' but stumbles trying to climb above the better films it's seeking to be ... There's an extended sequence that rips off Tobe Hooper's Poltergeist and some realm displacement nonsense that doesn't make sense, on the way to an embarrassingly overwrought ending. 1.5/5."
Herb Simon's PR Manager 👑
@HerbSimon1986 Well, Jessica Chastain did the best she could & I won't blame her at all. However, #OtherMommy is a pure mess and masterfully cringe, but it's also a bonker fun if you truly want something to killing yr time on 3am. It's like Rob Savage remaking "Boogeyman" with a prestige cast😕
Why does everyone rush to protect this single-expression actress? Her face is almost incapable of movement, like she fell into vat of botox. Her one expression is Immobily Bitchy.
Peter Gray
@ratedPDG 16h #OtherMommy: Despite that trailer and one surprisingly gory sequence, this INSIDIOUS-lite supernatural "horror" flick is more silly than it is scary. Jessica Chastain commits but that isn't enough to overcome the stupidity.
Justine Bateman has thoughts on Hollywood's plea to save the movie theaters:
Doug Jamieson
@itsdougjam 11h OTHER MOMMY is truly dreadful. Despite one of the silliest horror plots of the year and a woeful script, it takes itself so staggeringly seriously. An endless parade of ineffective jump scares, awful CGI, and a finale that drew unintentional laughter several times. #OtherMommy
Justine Bateman
@JustineBateman Here's the thing about "Keep theaters alive!" and "Go watch this film in the movie theater!" It's a two-way agreement. The audience agrees to pay to see films in a theater only if:
- The filmmakers are shooting scripts that have a thesis statement/intention/point.
- The actors and director are giving it their all, and not phoning it in.
- The edit has trimmed off all the fat.
- The film isn't some didactic exercise, intent on jamming a "lesson" into us.
- The studio executives have paid close attention to the film from start to finish and have given the filmmakers useful notes to keep it all on-track.
- The film is entertaining.
- (And the theater managers are maintaining some order and decorum in the theaters themselves.) Otherwise, the audiences will continue to stay home and wait for the films to come online, so they can maybe watch five minutes of it or scrub through, and then turn it off. The film has to be excellent. Or at least try in that direction. Much of what is released is just not good enough.

This is sick and we know it but feel it is harmless as we are not going to suddenly copy this in our lives. I have been this way since Justified, and Mags was my heroine.
Demonic horror is a totally different thing for us. A college classmate took me to see The Omen and I was never the same about similar movies. I don't do demonic.
The last Steven King (the strange looking lesbian who was hit by a car and still lives on the side of the road) book I read was The Shining. We were newlywed. I was washing my face in the bathroom sink one night and my new husband walked in, causing me to scream. He suggested I not read any more books of King's and I haven't.

Hey, AI, I'm a male, and my Halloween costume this year is a female transgender identifying as a male. That way, I don't have to buy a costume. Do you think I can pull it off?
AI: It treats an identity as a caricature: Using someone's gender identity or transition as a Halloween costume often relies on stereotypes, which can come across as mocking rather than clever.
Me: That's odd. I see self-proclaimed transgenders portraying gender as a caricature all the time. In fact, they go so stereotypical on their chosen gender that it can't be perceived as anything else. You need to check out a Drag Show Story Hour sometime. Even their names are caricatures.

Many industry insiders told Axios they expect a major event within six to 12 months. OpenAI pushed back on the suggestion that disaster is inevitable, saying its preparedness exercises cover a range of possibilities. "These scenarios are not treated as inevitable," a spokesperson told the outlet. Anthropic declined to comment.
Contingency planning is not an admission that catastrophe is unavoidable. But the most revealing part of the report is where that planning leads: the labs want to help shape the legislation Washington reaches for after something goes badly wrong.

I think I've got it: In a Violent Nature (2024).
It's a Canadian slasher film about a murderous figure named Johnny who is awakened in the woods when visitors disturb his resting place.
The description is an unusually close match, especially the woodland setting, the killings, and the distinctive mask.
The clincher is the mask. Johnny takes an antique firefighter's mask from a historical display inside a park ranger station. That's almost certainly the museum-like place the commenter remembers.

The one photo I saw of her she's wearing eyeliner on her bottom lid. Most women know not to do this as it will make your eyes look both tired and smaller.
I've never worn eyeliner on my top lid as I don't need it.
I hope I don't have to email her and suggest her to lay off the eyeliner.
My MIL wore blue eye shadow for decades after you should not. I never said squat to her about this because she was critical of me now and then. She once made me cry quietly in a guestroom and no one has done this before in my entire life. I never had a bad word against her, but, boy, I wanted to unleash my personality at times. I tried to avoid her and drank a lot of gin when we flew to see his parents. She's dead now and did mellow towards me her last decade.
I have no idea how I acquired all of my make up tricks, but I did. Maybe its Maybelline (which I haven't worn since HS).

I tried to get my Dad to watch that before he died, but he refused. I figured he might like it as a survival flick and he likes Matt Damon.
But he preferred 'realistic' scenarios and movies that weren't fantastic.
So instead he'd watch Damon play a one man killing machine that could take out an entire police force in an apartment building in about ten minutes.
He'd seen that one about 50 times.

I just read up on it at they have a sequel in production. I won't be going! That is one of the most "dark" horror movies I've ever seen. It was bloody and pointlessly bleak.

What I remember of the movie was that Jesus was represented as the real deal, off camera, in the background, operating in the same general neighborhood as Brian. So, if anything, wasn't it an attack on phony charlatans who preach from a pulpit?
It also had a brutal attack on pundits, who instantly give you in-depth analysis on damn near anything. In one scene, the group is sitting in on the Sermon on the Mount, but they're so far back it's hard to hear. The one guy repeats to the group what he thinks was being said: "Blessed are the cheesemakers!" To which one member of the group offered an instant and detailed interpretation - instead of saying "That can't be right". It turns out that cheese making was something of a significant industry in the area at that time, so that's funny too.

The Week In Woke
Let's start out with some good news from the weekend, which I missed.
David Harsanyi:I know that not all of you are history buffs like I am, so I'll explain, Lyndon Johnson was an Indian Hunter and Abraham Lincoln's vice president.
One of the most unheralded policy successes of President Donald Trump's second term has been the purging of many unnecessary federal jobs. The federal government has reduced its workforce by 300,000 jobs since Jan. 20, 2025, bringing it down to a still-bulky 2.7 million employees.
Not since President Lyndon Johnson's Great Society vastly expanded the scope of the national government has the federal workforce been at this level.
Harsanyi has some thoughts about what departments need to be cut more. Like this, maybe: Trump slashes funding for woke "education."
It's not merely that the feds have shed superfluous jobs -- there are still over 4 million contract workers, after all. It's that the White House has been targeting all the right institutions. The bloated War Department, with over 61,000 departures, and the equally bloated State Department, with 37% of its staff gone, experienced the biggest reductions. But most of the buyouts were aimed at agencies and departments that should have been shuttered a long time ago. Take the US Agency for International Development, which for years was used to funnel billions to hard-left ideological projects around the world: Virtually its entire staff is gone. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the unaccountable bureaucratic brainchild of progressive Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), has lost roughly 88% of its workers, though it's still far too big. The Agriculture Department, which despite its name is principally a welfare agency that has little to do with farming, experienced tens of thousands of departures. So has another welfare-state institution, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, whose most notable achievement has been helping inflate housing prices.
President Trump is moving to rescind nearly $1 billion in federal spending, including $95 million in Department of Education funding for programs the White House says supported ideological initiatives and services for illegal aliens. The White House announced the rescissions on Sept. 25, targeting $25 million for the Department of Education's Special Programs for Migrant Students and $70 million for international education programs, alongside cuts across other federal agencies.Colleges are using taxpayer funds to rebrand Columbus Day as "Indigenous People's Day."
The White House said the migrant education funding previously supported activities including an LGBT youth summit for migrant students and "Therapy for Latinx" workshops. Grant recipients included Immigrants Rising, a nonprofit whose programming included an LGBTQ support group and resources addressing "DACA-Related Stress."
Several colleges and universities are using institutional resources and government-backed grants for "Indigenous Peoples' Day" programming around Oct. 12, which is also Columbus Day. Santa Rosa Junior College in Santa Rosa, California, is promoting an Indigenous Peoples' Day celebration centered on "community, resilience, and connection." The event description says the celebration will "honor our ancestors" and feature drumming, Native dancers, and speakers. A Santa Rosa Junior College public information officer told Campus Reform that the California Community Colleges Chancellor's Office's Native American Student Support and Success Program grant "funds the Native American Center and its activities." The state program received $30 million in one-time funding for up to 20 colleges. Its stated goals include strengthening educational pathways, promoting Native American students' academic success, developing leaders, and increasing mentorship.San Francisco provides dorms for pedophiles and sex offenders and it's not prison.
Incredible: A black webzine claims that black immigrants' rape of native whites is actually a good thing as it increases diversity. "AFRU" calls rapes "quasi-consensual encounters."
It's Tuesday morning at Little Learners Daycare in downtown San Francisco. Teacher Wendy herds bright-eyed toddlers, amped up after playtime in the courtyard, back inside. They're laughing and swatting at each other playfully, oblivious to the pack of pedophiles lurking nearby. Four hundred feet away, dozens of registered sex offenders live at 111 Taylor Street. Wendy knew that the Tenderloin, where she operates her Mandarin-immersion daycare, was dangerous. It's a hotbed for illegal drug activity and homelessness. But she didn't realize that sex offenders live so close to her daycare--or that taxpayers fund their housing.
According to this City Journal investigation, more than 25 percent of sex offenders in San Francisco with addresses in the Megan's Law database live in taxpayer-subsidized buildings. Many live near a park, school, or daycare, or reside in a neighborhood with a high concentration of children. They do all of this despite statewide efforts to ban concentrating pedophiles so close to children. Instead of listening to California voters, San Francisco has become a taxpayer-funded dumping ground for sex criminals. The Taylor Street Center is one of San Francisco's most heavily populated sex-offender residences. Located in the Tenderloin, Taylor Street houses at least 31 registered sex offenders. The taxpayer-funded California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation and the federal Bureau of Prisons contract the private GEO Group to run the facility. The reentry complex can house 240 people. It hosts specialized programs for residents like "cultural diversity education," "gender-responsive groups," and a "weekly meditation group." The facility sits just 400 feet from a daycare center, 1,000 feet from a fourth-to-eighth-grade school, and five blocks away from a preschool. Any sex offender housed in the Tenderloin is bound to encounter children. Along with having a high concentration of immigrant and low-income households, the neighborhood also has the highest concentration of kids in the entire city.
LoveThat's the topic folder this is under: "Love."
"Sexual assaults" are "quasi-consensual encounters." Please let in more Aspiring Doctors and Engineers who quasi-consensually rape the native population.
Why a 'rise in sexual assaults' by migrants is a price worth paying to end racism Quasi-consensual encounters between refugees and white Western women may help with assimilation. Increasingly they result in a shared apartment and a new surname.
It's unfortunate, but true. Language gaps and cultural misunderstandings often mean that the first romantic encounter between a Western woman and a refugee can be perceived as quasi-consensual in nature. Usually it starts with a halting conversation or an awkward cat call at a park, a refugee language class, or a volunteer dinner. But increasingly these encounters result in a shared apartment, a mixed-race child, a new surname, and a happy future. A quiet revolution is taking shape across Europe and North America, and it's being led by white Western women. They're not performing acts of charity, nor engaging in fetishism or exoticism.Do you want mass forced deportations? Because this is exactly how you get mass forced deportations. A group argues that simple civility in discourse is inherently "conservative" and "pro-Israel." I think that's actually correct -- because the left's entire sick schtick is hateful, crazed denunciations, attempts to cancel people and menace them, and calls for actual violence. So yes, stripping the left of its weapons is "conservative" and "pro-Israel," in the sense that it limits terrorists' actions.Pioneering women are placing the burden upon themselves to become the most powerful force undermining the very architecture of racial exclusion. In countries where a supposed refugee "rape crisis" is cast as a threat, their beautiful interracial unions permanently puncture the entire narrative of the xenophobic right. The transformation is intimate, but implications are structural. The collapse of ugly abstractions Racism relies on distance. Stereotypes thrive in the absence of proximity. The moment a Western woman forms an intimate relationship with a refugee, she begins to see differently. Many describe it not as a shift in ideology but in emotional vocabulary: fear dissolves, replaced by the particularity of experience. That particularity is contagious. ... There is another layer, quieter but no less disruptive. When Western women form relationships with refugee men, they break with the implicit racial and political allegiances of their birth. White men are often animated by nationalist or racialist worldviews, and can experience these unions as betrayals. And they are right to.
Romantic couplings of white Western women and refugees redistribute the optics of who belongs. These women are not just falling in love; they are puncturing the fragile white male consensus that has long underwritten white identity politics. Each white womb decorated with a Brown or Black baby make racial purism increasingly not just odious but logistically impossible. Gordon Allport's mid-century contact theory proposed that sustained, cooperative contact between groups under conditions of equality reduces prejudice. These relationships are the contact hypothesis in its most intimate form. They are not state-sponsored integration programs; they are integration incarnate. In other words, where the state fails, the bedroom succeeds. When white supremacy wants white women to zig, they zag.
Because the terrorists want to go jihad on Jewish students and not just that, they want to do their pogroms with the express support of governmental and educational authorities. Telling them they can't beat up Jews and menace them stifles their ability to use Violence as the Speech of the Unheard. Don't believe me? Remember this professor of Islam? FCC head Brendan Carr scolds leftists for opposing ratings for TV show including warnings about transgender content.
Group Argues Civil Discourse Push Is Conservative, Pro-Israel A group of scholars has released another report arguing that efforts to promote constructive dialogue and similar concepts are actually targeting progressive activism. Those named in the report take issue with its assertions.
Uncivil argues civil discourse programs are aimed at repressing student activism. A group of scholars called Uncivil is doubling down on its argument that the push for civil discourse and viewpoint diversity is part of a conservative and pro-Israel agenda--not a nonpartisan campaign. This week, it published dossiers on a broad swath of programs, groups and higher ed institutions that have used similar terms, criticizing their leaders, their funders and more. Inside Higher Ed reached out to more than 30 organizations featured in the report. Those that responded took issue with Uncivil's characterization of their work, arguing that the group can't back up its conclusions. They countered that Uncivil doesn't mention some left-leaning funders, or the many nonconservative and non-Israel-related causes that funders support. They also dispute the methodology, including how the scholars identified some groups and funders as conservative or pro-Israel. Interest in civil discourse programs surged after the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel and the start of Israel's war in Gaza. That violence spurred a wave of pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses nationwide. Organizations and colleges ramped up many efforts that were advertised as improving students' ability to debate controversial issues. Uncivil--a consortium of academics from multiple universities, including one who's an Inside Higher Ed columnist and another who leads the American Association of University Professors' Center for the Defense of Academic Freedom--argues that the "real goal is to silence dissent" and "suppress organic student organizing." The dossiers, which Uncivil calls the Civility Files, follow the group's June report that said the private funders "most deeply committed to 'bridge-building,' 'viewpoint diversity,' and 'depolarization' projects are those that also hold a substantial stake in conservative and/or 'pro-Israel' causes." ... But Murray said the Hillel funding was for campus chapters to reach out to non-Jewish student ministries to work together across differences, while the Tablet funding supported a journalist who writes about non-Jewish religious groups so the magazine's readers can learn about them. "If someone wants to tell me how that's pro-Israel, I'd love to hear," Murray said.
He has thrice publicly excoriated congressional Democrats in the past two weeks for opposing the shorthanded commission's work to "ensure that parents have the information necessary to decide what is appropriate for their own kids and families to watch," as Carr posted Monday afternoon on X and had reposted by Tuesday morning in case anyone missed it. Carr first blasted "nearly 70" Democratic lawmakers Sept. 28 for "pushing to prevent parents from having any say over their children being exposed to controversial gender identity ideologies" on TV, referring to a June 5 letter from Massachusetts Sen. Ed Markey and a June 22 letter led by California Rep. Mark Takano, signed by 68 House Democrats in all. He pointed to Disney Jr.'s 2018 reboot of the 1980s cartoon Muppet Babies, which in the episode "Gonzo-rella" has male Gonzo wearing a "princess dress to a royal ball," passing as a girl and going by plural pronouns. Netflix's Strawberry Short Cake reboot "promotes a trans character that wears clothing that matches the transgender pride flag," Carr said. Contrary to these brands promoting themselves as "family friendly [...] the FCC's record is now replete with all sorts of examples of Hollywood and New York programmers going around parents to promote their gender ideologies," he said.

I have dug through over 7,000+ arrest records in the state of North Carolina over the past 2 weeks.
What I found was so shocking, I had a hard time believing it myself... It appears major fraud is taking place in arrest records where Black offenders are labelled White. I didn't come across this once or twice. It appears that a few HUNDRED Black offenders are being labelled as White. The option to pick "BLACK" exists and is used frequently in arrest records... ...but it seems they are purposely choosing the label of "WHITE AFRICAN" or "WHITE CAUCASIAN" to identify someone who is clearly a "BLACK" person. This is massive fraud.— Matt Van Swol (@mattvanswol) October 4, 2026

Wokal Distance
@wokal_distance I don't think people quite understand the psychology of why this woman went from saying everything was consensual to saying it was rape. For her, giving sex to all those men is an enormous risk to her health (sti's, pregnancy) and her reputation (she doesn't want to be the subject of gossip) in order to do something for them. This is why you see her focus so hard on making sure the men don't tell anyone. In her head, if she is going to take all that risk for those men and give them her body, she expects them to protect her reputation by keeping quiet and the reward her by making sure she gets to be "one of the guys" - a sort of friend of the frat who gets special privileges. After the night of sex when the men told others what happened and then uninvited her from their party, she felt like they did not hold up their end of the implicit bargain. in her head, she played the role of the cool girl for them, and then they threw her away. She went from feeling like "the cool chick," to feeling like a dupe who got used and tossed aside. She sees her consent as contingent on their silence and a place in their group; "I never would have agreed to do those things had I known you would destroy my reputation, and kick me out of the group." In her head, since consent was contingent on being give a place in their group and their social protection, when they broke their end of the agreement her consent was (in her mind) contingent upon, her consent no longer holds. That is the dynamic you are seeing play out here. I am not defending the behavior of anyone here, I am only explaining the mindset.
Wokal Distance
@wokal_distance Bullies always look for people who it is socially acceptable to target. Female bullies target low status and socially awkward white men so they can punch down at people who lack the social ability to defend themselves, while pretending they're punching up at those with power.

Odd that the "webzine" only focuses on white women in supposedly consensual relationships with these barbaric savages. What about white men with lady savages?
The article is pure rubbish and wishcasting because the only kind of white women who pretends to care about these barbaric savages are AWFuL types who wouldn't be caught dead with an illegal in their house, let alone willingly date one.
Normal white women -- and normal black and all normal women -- will avoid these barbaric savages like the plague. The only sex these savages are having with any American women are rapes.

I did mention this before but I was a computer consultant with a company that had a system to track government childcare dollars.
There were race codes in the system - white, black, asian, and a few others. I talked to my clients and the issue of hispanics came up. The counselors would ask them what race they were. And the people would say "I'm Latino" instead of white or black.
To avoid arguments, the counselors were basically told to look at them and decide.

And here I thought all mixed-race sexual encounters were automatically categorized as fetishism and exoticism.
Maybe that's only the case when people who are not leftist white women are doing it.
Obviously it can't be the case that the "immigrants" are engaging in fetishism or exoticism toward white women, because everyone knows that black and brown "immigrants" aren't fully realized human beings with their own cultures, desires, and goals.

He is making his followers hate federal employees, creating the narrative that government workers are a drain on the economy. These people cheering have no idea how anything works. If the statement “run the country like a business” makes sense to you, I know you don’t understand business or how countries work.
republicans think feds are lazy and stupid, not only did Musk fire every1 Fox ensures federal employees have a hard time finding work with their constant smear campaign. There really needs to be a project 2029.
If they are getting paid 2-3x as much in the private sector then firing them is a huge loss to the government because they were employing way over qualified workers for cheap!

He has no clue about the dedication and passion that many federal workers have. That can’t be found in the private sector.

Hi! It's a bit mixed. The third round of chemo leveled her and she had a reaction for which she got steroids and that THAT make her Mrs. Fun Happy Person. Sheesh.
She met with her oncologist yesterday who decided to postpone this weeks treatment and perhaps change the kind of chemo. She will have to make it up, so that stretches this fun deeper into December, but we do get a weekend off, which is nice.

Quasi-consensual encounters between refugees and white Western women may help with assimilation. Increasingly they result in a shared apartment and a new surname.

If I thought they would listen and comprehend, I'd tell them that the money to employ all those federal employees comes directly out of their pockets, via taxes.
That tax money may get spent in the economy, but first it must be taken out of the economy.

Back in the early 2000s a guy was found dead in the woods with "fed" scratched into him. He'd been a part time census worker but...that's it for being a fed.
The FNM went bonkers claiming Shrub was demanding his voters murder federal employees and this was the result. The police investigated and pointed out the guy had killed himself and the story slowly dissipated.
But the notion that right leaning voters loved government workers before Trump is...comical.

Remember:
The real lesson of "Not Without My Daughter" is that men, western men, need to do more to protect women from their choices.
It was not her fault that she fell in love with Mr. Abdul Mohammed and let him move her and her child to Goatrapeistan.
Nope. All the modern liberal woman sees is a love story where her father and brother(s) didn't save her in time.
See, they should have given him a job, a career, a house, counseling, anything, something, everything so he would not have moved them.
That way, she could have lived out her love story.

New WH Press Secretary.
Sit down people. She's a smoking hot blonde.
The House has reportedly found a new press secretary to succeed Karoline Leavitt, who was the youngest Press Secretary in history.
Katie Zacharia, a lawyer, conservative media personality, and former DHS spokeswoman, has been offered the position. It is unclear whether she has accepted or when she would begin.
The New York Times reported on Friday,
Katie Zacharia, a conservative commentator who briefly worked at the Department of Homeland Security, has been chosen as the next White House press secretary, according to two people familiar with the matter.

2. Of all the insanely stupid and comically bad decisions made in this whole sordid mess, the most insanely stupid and comically bad was ...
..the frat kicking her off the party invite list. All they had to do was let her come to the party, and none of this would have happened. None of it.
Plus, even if she later did scream "rape" that would be much harder to do if they had proof she went back to her alleged Rape House and partied with her alleged rapists.
Kicking her off the list was an incandescently stupid decision.

What a good wife you got!
When we were first dating, my wife demonstrated her beer-pouring skills, by which she produced the perfect head of foam.
And she never even worked as a bartender. Maybe she learned it in an MRS Degree program.

Jane Doe should be Jane Ho, the train conductress of Chi Phi. Because this type of sex is the thing now (paraphrased from her texts) and nothing to feel shame about!
Unless someone talks about you and you want their names so you can beat them to a pulp.
The tip of her iceberg was not getting invited to a party. This is so Title IX. Similar to cases I read about of drunken sex, initiated by the girl, and screaming rape to Title IX the next morning when they guy says, "See ya" vs a marriage proposal or being a boyfriend. I would really like to know the % of these revenge cases vs true rape.
She waits, wut?, two weeks to get a rape kit. By then who knows who she's been with since the hodown?
Granted, many rape kits in ED's are after the girl has showered...which would be a normal response but it can impact DNA results.
The girls I saw, and they were very few because there is a chain of evidence and only 1 RN working with them...were traumatized. I was called in to comfort a few girls by the RN. She is specially trained for this and not any regular ED RN can assist.
Jane Ho waited 2wks or so.

Hemming''s line shares Randolph DNA. Jefferson's mother was a Randolph.
But, Jefferson's brother spent more time with the slaves and liked to party with them.
It essentially comes down to one of Jane Randolph's children, which might be Jefferson, and it's my understanding that a lot of the timelines of her birth don't line up with his time in France all that well.

Even the slaves of the same era who were sent to Brazil were far worse off than American slaves. The Portuguese were far more brutal than Americans were.
Plus, the work was much harder and more dangerous. You think picking cotton is bad? Imagine having to clear a Brazilian rainforest with 17-century tools to make way for plantations and estates. I'm sure the life expectancy was much worse for them than the American slaves.

That's also how you wind up with "double cousins." My dad has some, since grandpa's brother married grandma's sister.
If "dad's brother's kid" and "mom's sister's kid" are the same kid, they're you're double (first) cousin.
More genetic similarity than normal cousins, but not as close as half-siblings. North Carolina is the only state where that matters; they allow first-cousin marriages, but not between double-cousins.

They did a lot of work in sugar cane fields and coffee plantations in Brazil. Eventually there was cotton and other crops but those two were the main cash crops during the 19th century.
And Brazil brought in a lot more slaves than the States.
U.S. ~ 400,000 imported
Brazil - ~ 5 million
They went through slaves and instead of letting them have children, like we did here, they just imported more.
They also freed more slaves so had a lot more freedman than we did before slavery ended there in the 1880s.

I don't care one way or the other. Jefferson was a great statesman, and a great American. But I don't dismiss out of hand the idea that he did the nasty with Hemmings, even if he did not actually father her children.
Heck, even Lincoln, as a young lawyer in Illinois, represented a slaveowner who was attempting to recover an escaped slave.

This article hits on an unpleasant truth. (Or happy fun time if you are a conquering nation, historically). Women are genetically bound to survival and the continuation of her genes, it's not a conscious thing. At this point in time we mostly see white women who would not be a high selection but now on a preferred list, it's primarily survival and continuation of her genetic genes. The new arrivals are the most dominant, have the most survival potential of her mating options.
Basically, that's how we survive as a species. If we were an ancient conquering nation taking Africa we would take their women and they would give themselves to us because we are the dominant and the genetic drive to continue the species reins.
Today, if we want to continue as a dominant western culture, as in ancient times, we must be dominate and drive out the invader otherwise our culture will perish.

Lincoln, to say the least, had a complicated view about slavery and blacks.
He disliked the institution of slavery mainly because it was tearing the nation apart, and he felt the entire concept incompatible with the American experiment itself.
But as for black people in general he was just as racist as any other men of his time.

Three "Students" Arrested for Threatening to Murder the President
But I do remember CNN hyperventilating that a meme showing Trump beating up a wrestler with "CNN" superimposed upon his head was an unbearable threat to kill a reporter, and that a Trump crowd chanting "CNN Sucks!" was a direct threat against noted tough-guy mike-grabbing-woman-harasser Jim Acosta.Another "student" said that their school would soon be like Utah Valley University, where Charlie Kirk was murdered by another deranged left-wing terrorist.
Three University of South Alabama students accused of threatening President Donald Trump on social media were allowed to return home Monday as their federal cases moved toward possible grand jury review. Cameron Lewis, Kayla Smith and Amare Woods had been arrested Friday, the same day Trump traveled to the university's Mitchell Center for a political rally in Mobile. All three waived their preliminary hearings Monday, WKRG reported. They were released from custody and must report to a probation officer while the cases remain pending.
The arrests followed an FBI review of social media activity surrounding Trump's planned visit. The FBI's Mobile Division said agents arrested three people for threatening communications directed at the president in coordination with the Secret Service and several local agencies.
The cases involve separate posts attributed to the students in the days before Trump's Oct. 2 appearance. Woods, an aerospace engineering student from Saraland, is accused of responding to a TikTok post about Trump's upcoming visit with the comment, "he gotta die bro." Lewis, a resident assistant studying biology, is accused of making two posts on X. Court records described by WKRG included one encouraging Trump's killing and another suggesting the University of South Alabama would be remembered in the same way as Utah Valley University, where conservative activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated. Smith, an elementary education student from Birmingham, is accused of responding to a TikTok post about Trump's visit with, "we only got one chance, let's take it," accompanied by an image of a person holding a gun.
Hey remember when a rodeo clown lost his job because he wore an Obama mask and this was claimed to be a threat against the SCOAMF's life?
Woods' attorney, Jason Darley, has challenged whether his client's comment amounts to a criminal threat. Darley told FOX10 there would be a genuine question over whether Woods' statement was merely a comment or legally constituted a threat.
He described Woods as an 18-year-old with no criminal history and said the student never intended to harm anyone.Another Innocent Baby Angel Who Didn't Do Nuffin'.
If you're interested in killing a president, it's the right sort of timing, isn't it?
"When you're a student at the school where the president is coming to visit, the timing was horrible," Darley said.

Three Black University of South Alabama students were arrested and charged with making threats on social media towards President Trump. Ahead of Trump’s visit to Alabama on October 2 to the Mitchell Center.
These charges can potentially derail their future, and these Crackas know that. Had it been Little Johnny and not Lil Amare, they would’ve dismissed those posts as a young kid just talking and would have taken his ENTIRE privileged future into consideration, before pressing charges.
That hoe Justice, ain’t never been blind. And she’ll sell herself to the highest and whitest bidder. Smh
Really weird that the party of free speech is taking such a hard line stance on free speech.
The president literally just threatened LA in San Diego with annihilation. Fuck that dude.

even if you're pre-med, they often recommend majoring in chem bc it's more rigorous and gives you a better chance at med school
bio is not in the college of science / you don't get a BS you get a BA and it's in the normal/college of arts

Though Trump is a fairly moderate politician by pre-2016 standards, the left argues he's literally Hitler. And of course calling for violence against Hitler isn't just ok its a good thing.
But now there is actually a cost to calling for that violence, because of course Trump isn't Hitler and the American system bans assassination of its pols.
So the left has to choose - continue the Hitler line and go to jail, or acknowledge Trump isn't an OrangeHitler clone...

It is that someone, or some system has indicated that it is perfectly OK, or even moral and righteous to make threats, accusations and overt plans like this.
It is part of the mob mentality that goes with dehumanization necessary to discriminate or cancel.
Discrimination and cancelling give gutless, useless idiots power that they would not have otherwise, and give status within the mob.
They can make up cutesy insults, and assign intent, and say the world would be better without that particular point of view that says theirs is wrong.
But hey, for that group, it is just the socially binding thing to do, make accusations and find the smallest evidence that making violent threats is justified.
Punch a nazi. Punch a denier. After all, they justify genocide, right?

It's a pretty standard 4-5 year program at the university where I work. Usually the only reason it takes longer than 4 years is because students will get a co-op or internship for a semester or two. Gives them practical, real-world experience, but does extend their degree a bit. (Though many students take a class or two during their co-op.)
It's not easy, but it can be done in 4 years.

These midterm elections are the least important of our lives - because Trump is President.
A Democrat Congress won't pass a single thing the GOP Congress refused to pass. They won't have a Senate that will convict the President. And, he has a veto for their legislation.
If the GOP wins, we get less Sturm und Drang. That's it. No agenda items pass, besides routine carveouts for special interests.
I couldn't care any less about these elections, at least at the federal level.

Trump Announces That Almost 500 Criminal Fraudsters Have Been Arrested While Living in Taxpayer-Funded Public Housing
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Office of Inspector General (HUD OIG) today announced the results of Operation Clean House, a multi-agency, multi-month law enforcement initiative targeting fugitives living in HUD-assisted housing. ... Persons arrested included those wanted on outstanding felony warrants for serious offenses, including drug trafficking, weapons offenses, aggravated assault, fraud, rape, second-degree murder, sex offenses against children, and possession or manufacture of an incendiary device. In addition, 10 firearms were also seized during the operations. "This year, we have made one thing unmistakably clear: HUD OIG has zero tolerance for individuals who threaten the safety of people residing in HUD-assisted housing, jeopardize the families who live there, or exploit the programs designed to serve them," said Acting Inspector General Brian D. Harrison. "We have taken an aggressive approach to identifying and removing fugitives from these communities, and neighborhoods are safer because of it." "These arrests are only one part of our strategy," Harrison continued. "Our investigators, auditors, evaluators, and analysts are attacking threats to HUD programs from every direction. Whether it is violent criminals hiding in HUD-assisted housing, fraudsters stealing taxpayer dollars, or weaknesses that leave federal housing programs vulnerable to abuse, we will use every authority and every tool available to protect these programs and the people they serve." "Operation Clean House should also send a clear message. HUD-assisted housing will not be treated as a haven for fugitives. Working with our federal, state, and local partners, HUD OIG will continue to pursue those who threaten these communities and undermine the integrity of HUD programs. The extraordinary results of this operation would not have been possible without the dedication and professionalism of our law enforcement partners."Obviously this all could have been done decades ago. It doesn't require hiring more federal officials, or pouring billions more into the government. It just requires a president willing to actually arrest criminal fugitives. Something we haven't had for decades. And speaking of something that just required a drop of will: Pete Hegseth says Nidal Hassan's firing squad execution will be livestreamed.
Hegseth told Human Events' Jack Posobiec that deciding the circumstances of the execution was a "no brainer. Execution by firing squad. An Army major betrays his country, [he's a] radical Islamist, kills a bunch of Americans at Fort Hood. Of course, we're gonna do [the execution] at Fort Hood. Gonna do it on a Thursday, we're gonna do it at 1:00, which is when he did it, and it's gonna be soldiers with rifles executing the firing squad."
🚨 IT'S OFFICIAL: HUD Sec. Scott Turner just confirmed OPERATION CLEAN HOUSE, nearly 500 HOUSING FRAUD arrests across 12+ cities
LFG! 🔥 "New York, California, Memphis, Cleveland, Columbus, Newark and other states." 491 arrests, felony warrants for drug trafficking, r*pe, m*rder, s*x crimes against children, and FRAUD. All of them living off HUD assistance That housing is meant for struggling American families! No more fraudsters on public housing. No more ILLEGAL ALIENS on public housing Finally cleaning the rolls!— Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) October 8, 2026

Our problem hasn't been Congress for a long time.
It's been the presidency.
There are hosts of laws that people are breaking to make our nation worse, and the executive branch has, at best, picked at the edges of it.
Getting the executive to actually enforce this stuff for the first time in decades is really game changing.

There should be no such thing as HUD assistance. Not for anyone. I'm sick and tired of paying for someone else's failures, bad life choices, degeneracy, and sloth and ignorance.
How much blood from my veins do these people want? They get direct welfare payments, free food, free medical, free school, free housing, free drugs, and probably free sex.
All paid for by productive taxpayers.
Why the fuck am I -- or anyone else -- funding any of this?

Part of the idea of executions is to make example of the executed to others who might follow in his path.
They should have never been made private affairs.
Executions are tools of the state, it's tool of exclusivity on violence, and used by the state as the governing body as chosen by the body politic to enforce moral codes.
The body politic must be a part of that.

Hegseth told Human Events' Jack Posobiec that deciding the circumstances of the execution was a "no brainer. Execution by firing squad. An Army major betrays his country, [he's a] radical Islamist, kills a bunch of Americans at Fort Hood. Of course, we're gonna do [the execution] at Fort Hood. Gonna do it on a Thursday, we're gonna do it at 1:00, which is when he did it, and it's gonna be soldiers with rifles executing the firing squad."
Still say they should wait until halftime at the Army/Navy game on the 12th.

Part of the idea of executions is to make example of the executed to others who might follow in his path.
They should have never been made private affairs.
Executions are tools of the state, it's tool of exclusivity on violence, and used by the state as the governing body as chosen by the body politic to enforce moral codes.
The body politic must be a part of that.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison, taking speed with Bob Fosse at October 09, 2026 01:16 PM (1kJuV)

Executions were also designed to be as gruesome and stomach-churning as possible.
Again: as a warning to others. "Do bad stuff and this is what happens to you."
I don't care a wit how much violence and pain the state inflicts on inhuman demons like those on death row.

Given the average rap sheet, I would suspect incarcerating these thugs will prevent additional multiple crimes from being committed. That is the broken windows thesis which Rudy and the NYPD proved correct. Even prosecuting fare jumpers while seemingly trivial ended up reducing violent crime because roughly 2 percent of the population are hard core criminals 24/7 365 days per year.
Societies either have to lock them up to incapacitate them from committing more crimes or kill them.
Research on the effects of the Bloody Code in UK history corroborate this effect btw. In the UK case, they chose to execute them.

Hulk Hogan made a switch to heel in order to revive the brand, and it worked - the public loved to hate him and attendance exploded. His thesis is that Trump is often "playing the heel" in what he says and does. It is just to make himself a lovable villain, knowing that it is best way to get attention to whatever it is he is working to promote at the time.
This line of thinking is very Scott Addams-esque -- identify a subject you want the public to discuss, play the heel and do outrageous things, keeping aligned with the goal but going against what all the right people think is proper.
It's all kayfabe. I think a good example is the firing line execution -- it's a great opportunity to grab the headline. It's like throwing a folding chair at the ref.

To me, the main reason and purpose behind capital punishment has little to do with deterrence. I think it does deter future misconduct, but that opened the door to fraudulent debate and fake statistics that the commies used to undermine the deterrence justification.
The main reason for capital punishment has always been retribution. If you commit heinous crimes, you have forfeited your status as a human being, and society has every right -- indeed, a duty -- to kill you dead.
Capital punishment is right, it's moral, it's reasonable, and every society from the beginning of mankind up until about 50 years ago -- when the west got limp dicks and saggy balls -- understood this.

Back in the 90s in my hometown (Syracuse) an elderly retired (and well off) native was appalled by the state of the infrastructure - and crime rates - he saw in his family's old apartment complex. It was several dozen brick 1-story bldgs dating back to when it was a mostly Italian-American neighborhood, nor it was very very majority minority - and kinda of a hellhole for normal non-criminal renters.
So..... he bought it - spent to renovate it up to snuff (one building at a time so current residents could still be residents) - hired PT roving security from among the residents - and instituted new :stay safe" policies renter had to agree to to rent.
(1) Zero tolerance for any drug activity - no using - no selling. Eviction if witnessed or police documents document it.
(2) No guns allowed. Same same.
(3) The above applies for ANY resident OR "guest" - if your (say) grandson or just "friend" is dealing or armed on site - you get evicted. No "but I had no idea my grandson who's parents threw him out for drug use but I let stay with me so he wouldn't be homeless was dealing / doing drugs" exception

I was lead to believe there were 3 shooters, yet only one had a live round. While the one that makes the kill shot knows they did it, no one outside the firing range knows who it was.

Would you know if you were firing a blank instead of a live round?
I suspect most people who regularly fire would tell the difference.

If the Romans could have livestreamed Jesus' crucifixion, they probably would have.
His cruel death was meant to be warning to all about what happens when you contend with the power of Rome.

And AFAIK, he's exhausted all legal avenues available and is dead to rights guilty. So I have no moral reservations in this instance, whether or not the U.S. government is corrupt.

That is accounted for inthe 'Coup de grace' clause:
The officer charged with carrying out the execution will join the medical officer who will examine the prisoner and, if necessary, direct that the "coup de grace" be administered. Should the med'ical officer so decide, the sergeant of the execution party will administer the "coup de grace," with a hand weapon, holding the muzzle just above the ear and one foot from the head.

It's about JUSTICE first.
"And for your lifeblood I will surely demand an accounting. I will demand an accounting from every animal. And from each human being, too, I will demand an accounting for the life of another human being.
Whoever sheds human blood,
by humans shall their blood be shed;
for in the image of God
has God made mankind."
Genesis 9:5-6
That's literally one of the first things God said to Noah after wiping out everyone else for their abominable sins.
And this:
He has shown you, O mortal, what is good.
And what does the Lord require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy
and to walk humbly with your God.
Micah 6:8
(Justice comes before mercy.)

Something we haven't had for decades.
This is key but it raises the question: why? Why were they not willing to do anything about it? Why did they not want to enforce the law?
I think the bulk of it comes down to money. Even if these fraudsters are not donating heavily to the Democrats (which many of them are), all the money that goes to them goes through the hands of bureaucrats who get a piece of every dollar.
I bet some of you are unaware that every dollar that goes to child support after a divorce goes through the government and they skim off a piece of it like a mob boss. Its a pretty good revenue generator for the government.
Every dollar that goes to fraudsters comes from the feds, and the feds only give that money if there's a demand for it, and the states get a piece of that money for "costs".
And then there's the racial aspect where leftists think that the poor childlike minority really doesn't know right from wrong so we can't hold them accountable, and after all they've been oppressed by white people so hard for so long that its only justice to let them bilk us.

Oh, No! DOJ Seeks Perjury Indictment Against January 6th Fabulist Madison Cornbread
Madison Cornbread, no! Noooooo!LOL, sure.
Federal prosecutors have been presenting evidence to a grand jury in Washington, D.C., on whether former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson may have lied to Congress in her testimony related to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, two sources familiar with the matter told CBS News.... In a series of depositions and public committee testimony, she said that Mr. Trump and Meadows had been warned on Jan. 6 that some of his supporters were carrying weapons to the Capitol, but that Mr. Trump said he didn't care and tried to order officials to remove the magnetometers.
She also relayed a story she said was told to her by then-White House deputy chief of staff Tony Ornato, in which Mr. Trump grew incensed after his lead Secret Service agent declined to drive him to the Capitol after the president had delivered a speech to supporters.Her actual claim was that Trump reached over from the back seat to wrest the steering wheel of the limousine while shouting some comic book villain dialogue like "Curse your insolence, knave! I shall have vengeance this day!" or some bullshit.
Her account was later contradicted by Mr. Trump's driver, who in sworn testimony claimed that the president never tried to grab the steering wheel. ... In an unusual move, the Civil Rights Division -- and not the U.S. Attorney's Office in Washington, D.C. -- is handling the Hutchinson investigation, sources said. It was not immediately clear why that office was assigned the case.
Hey Jake, remember when you thought that Cassidy Hutchinson's ridiculous testimony might put Trump in prison? That was awesome. https://t.co/YYWa6UKCPj

Tapper is a moral and physical coward who won't do shit now that his high paid job is on the line. The whole news readers era of getting sky high pay because people supposedly give a damn who is reading the news or commenting nowadays is ending due to brutal reality. TV is a dying industry and costs have to be rightsized. And that means the 'talent' are on the chopping block just like the backroom people if their costs are out of line.

I think that you are correct but I also think that Trump is planning unpleasant October surprises for the Dems each week before the election. This week H1B/OPT evisceration which affects white males in the tech industry, next week chief rat Brennan goes before the grand jury and I would not be surprised of Trump going medieval on Somali fraud (see Minnesota and Ohio races that would affect), and so on.
Expect more illegals being deported, charged with illegal voting, etc. as well.

We have incomplete data nationwide, but this is due to different state policies regarding what data is published.
There are no indications that the trends we are seeing are not occuring everywhere. There is no reason to think the effects are local to individual states.
Those trends are:
1) Early vote in Dem strongholds are way down for both mail and IPEV
2) The youth vote has cratered
3) 65+ is by far the largest share of the vote
4) Rural Trump+ counties are seeing strong returns, in many cases matching 2022 final numbers with 22 days left
These are trends that make it impossible to flip a red state. Any thought that AK, KS, IA, FL, or OH can flip is wishcasting.

That was before Ellison was his boss. Now Ellison is and a likely merger with CBS News is probably coming with Bari Weiss as executioner.
Anderson Pooper is keeping his big mouth shut for example despite quitting 60 minutes in a huff previously.
For Ellison to make the merger work, a lot of jobs are going to get canned for cost savings. And I bet Tapper does not want to be the next Jim Acosta howling in the darkness of social media.

I've felt for a long time that Cooper should be considered the underdog because of the end of his governorship being so bad and the registration changes since he last won statewide.
That should heavily blunt his name recognition advantages and provide support to generic Republican opponent, and Whatley has no scandals so he's effectively generic Republican.
Trump won by 3 just 2 years ago in NC. The idea that Cooper was going to flip that to a 10 point win was always ridiculous. The race will be close, and I think Whatley could have the edge.

2002 was also post 9/11, giving a universal sense of goodwill to the party in power.
If 2026 is going to resemble 2002, it won't be because of narrative reasons. It'll be structural, like, say, one party having grown completely accustomed to winning elections through fed grant monies and election fortification that they suddenly can't do anymore and no one in the power structure has the right muscles to pivot effectively to real electioneering.

Doesn't appear so in the states where party id is known. The diehard ideologues are probably voting D like the no kings Boomer Dems. But they need much bigger turnout from urban blacks, young voters, and even Millennials than what we are seeing so far. And these were typically vote by mail types. Dems fallback is that Orangemanbad has made mail in voting unsure so they are going to be voting early. Some are so ludicrous as to claim that Election Day voting is going to be Dem.
None of that cope so far is warranted by known actual data. And now the polling is starting to be corrected state by state by reputable pollsters that want to lessen the harm of getting it badly wrong.

Pretty much. Every swing state has had increased GOP registration since 2026 while states were forced in to purge voters. Oregon had to so much that Drazen now has a chance at flipping the Governor's office in OR. Hilton in CA is also not getting blown out possibly by Becerra.
PA, ground zero for Scott Presley, is where we see his work in raising GOP registrations is paying off in increased absentee ballot requests by GOP voters in PA. Couple of crucial house seats at issue there.
NC and GA are the most problematic for GOP right now but even there, showing signs that the electorate will be older and whiter than even 2022.

John James - R - Michigan is on CNN now.
Dana Bash is shutting up and letting him talk but she looks even more miserable than usual. She is letting him talk. I'm impressed.

James has a pretty good shot at becoming governor, especially since Sayed is screwing up in the marquee Senate race. The AWFL Dem Sec. of State running there has been covered in so many voting scandals that she is as inspiring as a lead brick to urban black voters who feel ignored by Dems in MI for illegals and Muzzies.

It is just post after post of "I am Jane Doe" with the woman talking about her own sexual assault experience. Now I have no idea if their claims are true or not, but the left just assumes the Cornell Train Girl's current claims are true and reflective of their own personal experience.
Its the oddest thing.

I watched a clip of the Abdul/Rogers debate today. Rogers is no Chris Hitchens, but even he made mincemeat out of Abdul. He mocked him for claiming to be a doctor, and even went after Abdul's mother. Abdul was seething, but didn't really have a rebuttal.

That sort of thing tends to escalate conflicts. If you know your surrender won't be accepted, you have nothing else to lose. Now you've got to deal with kamikaze soldiers who'll suicide bomb you after they run out of bullets.

From what I understand, they can't even sue the government in return for bringing these cases even if found to be hollow and tossed out or deemed vindictive prosecution.
The process is the punishment. It's about making people think twice before they speak out about what they witnessed unless they want to find themselves in the same position.
She got herself into all of this by aligning herself with the Trump/Pence clan in the first place, but I do feel bad for her. She had a reasonable expectation that her testimony might be a nail in the coffin on Trump's political career but like many of us she underestimated the public's willingness to scarf down Trump propaganda
Oh yes, we all voted for Trump to prosecute a young woman, whose only apparent crime was to testify. /s Fucking traitors. God damn every person that voted for this.

Most political ads are lies. Why are there no lawsuits or at minimum, retaliatory ads describing why their lies?
Talarico's PAC's are running an ad where they say Paxton gave an "Epstein style sweetheart deal" to a pedo who spent one day in jail.
The TRUTH is, the guy was tried and the jury deadlocked, leading to a mistrial. They did NOT retry him because the parents of the minor in question, the lead witness for the prosecution, chose not to have the boy relive the pain of that again. No retrial, no conviction.
But Paxton is the MOST CORRUPT EVAR!!!!!!

Man shot and wounded by ICE officer in New York City
1st two lines:
An Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer shot and wounded a man in a residential New York City neighborhood Thursday afternoon during what the agency called a "targeted enforcement operation."
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, calling the incident an "outrage," said the man was in a vehicle with a 5-year-old child at the time.
paragraph 7: referring to 'Marcos Charles, DHS's executive associate director for enforcement and removal operations':
Charles said Belgal has alleged associations with the Trinitarios gang and has a prior criminal conviction for grand larceny and "multiple prior arrests for assault, robbery, possession of drugs, and weapons possession."

GOP had this problem in 2010 when it took the house but failed to take the Senate because of odd nominees with no experience. Sayed has no experience whatsoever as a pol. Ditto for Acton. Talafreako is another with scant experience other than a backbencher Rep from a very safe district.

Prior bad history with Muslims and wanting to keep their property and not be taxed to death for fraudulent and criminal aliens is not a recipe for success.
Obama won by a unique set of circumstances that simply are not present now and probably won't be in 2028. Massive youth vote (which is shrinking now as a percentage of the electorate), people wanting racial salvation/expiation, and Bush screwing the pooch in the Middle East and at home with the housing and banking meltdowns.

Absolutely nothing for you to be sorry for. I've lived my adult life knowing that I wouldn't get anything from my family, so I've lived accordingly.
The way the S-S handled things after my dad passed was pathetic and mostly a slap in the face, but I chalked it up to "to the winner goes the spoils" because her mom lived longer.
I could've likely made myself the asshole and contested everything by pusing 'of sound mind' since the S-M has dementia and Alzheimer's......but that would've been horrible on her and not really solve much of anything.
I'm just doing everything I can to make sure when we're all said and done, our daughter has something for her nest egg.

MORNING RANT - The Memphis Situation: Tennessee Shouldn't Need Federal Help; “Bake the Cake” Rules Should Apply to Pizza Parlor Denying Service to Guardsmen
is headed by President Trump, run by the U.S. Marshalls, and has involvement from the FBI, DEA, ATF and other federal agencies.
The MSTF has been a tremendous success. Per a 9/29/2026 press release from the US Marshalls service, in the year since the National Guard moved in, Memphis has seen an overall 38% decrease in serious crimes, including:
• Murders down 37%• Sexual assaults down 30%
• Robberies down 47%
• Aggravated assault down 29% I am grateful to President Trump for coming to Memphis’ rescue, but Tennessee shouldn’t have to run to Uncle Sam to police our prominent failed city. If Memphis needs a takeover, the state should do it. I hope Marsha Blackburn will be more assertive as governor when it comes to dealing with Memphis than Governor Bill Lee has been. If Memphis cannot be rehabilitated, it should be dissolved into smaller municipalities. Those sub-sections of Memphis that are capable of becoming self-governing cities should be given that chance. Any remaining parts of Memphis that are not capable of self-government should become a ward of the state until they can be reconstructed into a functioning municipal entity. The same applies to Shelby County as a whole. Whatever restrictions there might be in Tennessee law that would impede this can easily be fixed by amending the state constitution. To be fair to Governor Lee, he did sign legislation a few months ago authorizing the state to take over Memphis’ failed schools. In accordance with the new law, the governor appointed an oversight board for Memphis schools, but Federal District Judge Waverly Crenshaw (an Obama appointee, of course) put a temporary restraining order on the new board. Fortunately, that restraining order is about to expire and it looks like the state will start administering Memphis schools. That is a start. As for the pizza incident involving the National Guard… “Memphis pizza joint owner under fire for denying service to National Guard troops” [NY Post – 7/16/2026]
A Memphis pizzeria owner is facing fierce backlash after refusing over the weekend to serve members of the National Guard deployed to the city to combat crime. Miles Tamboli, proprietor of Tamboli’s Pasta & Pizza, sparked the controversy by turning away troops stationed in the city since September 2025 — and he declared in a Thursday statement that he would “make the same decision tomorrow.” Tamboli argued that utilizing soldiers trained for overseas combat in local law enforcement roles has compromised city safety.I would defend Mr. Tamboli’s right to refuse service to National Guardsmen - no matter how vulgar his actions might seem to me - if conservative business owners had a similar right to refuse service based on conscience, beliefs, and values. But that is not the case. There are two sets of rules based on the politics of the business owner. Per Title II of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, public accommodations (which includes private businesses) may not deny service based on race, color, religion, or national origin. Tamboli’s Pizza is apparently free to deny service to Americans wearing their country’s military uniform, but Patriot Pizza is prohibited from denying service to gang members, cross-dressing men, or jihadis. The extent of how one-sided the denial-of-service rules are was evidenced by the Masterpiece Cakeshop case. Jack Phillips, a Christian, was willing to sell a gay couple a wedding cake, but he refused to create a custom cake with two groom toppers on it. The state of Colorado Civil Rights Commission pursued punitive actions, including mandatory re-education for Phillips and his staff for the purpose of making them endorse sex between two men. The case went to the Supreme Court where Justice Roberts and the Supremes effectively punted on the case, allowing the state of Colorado to continue its persecution of Mr. Phillips. Based on the Masterpiece Cakeshop precedent, it is only fair that Tamboli’s should be forced to make a custom pizza with “Support the National Guard” spelled out in pepperonis. Again, my original principles would be that both Masterpiece Cakeshop and Tamboli’s Pizza should be able to refuse service to anyone they want, including soldiers or gay men. But that is not to be. My succeeding principle is that the left must abide by the rules they impose on conservatives. Bake the pizza, bigot. [buck.throckmorton at protonmail dot com]

We tried that for over 50 years and it's only gotten worse. They never kill enough of themselves to make it stop and a whole lot of innocents get caught up in the violence (Iryna Zarutska and thousands of others). This is America, there should be no "no-go zones". States should bring this under control. A good start would be defenestrating judges and prosecutors who let the scumbags free. Resort to National Guard if necessary.

🚨 British teen ARRESTED over Facebook post.
Fraser: “I had posted a numerous amount of posts criticizing the councillor… And I must have hit his nerve a bit, so he reported me to the police.”
“As an elected official you’re supposed to be there to represent the people, not to be sitting on your phone getting paid to do nothing.”
-
It all started when Fraser noticed that councilman Simon Bennett showed up to a formal meeting in a T-shirt and shorts, which is still a big faux pas in jolly old England.
At the next meeting, Bennett came dressed in a suit. Fraser posted to Facebook that the politician no longer looked "like a rent boy," which is a slang term for gay prostitutes.

Chuck is right. Criminals born and bred in big cities also travel to your very community by way of interstates. They go visit Cuz in the country and do their gang banging thing right in Sleepytown USA. The thug diaspora after Katrina had N'Awlins hood rats spread throughout the south spiking crime levels whereever they ended up.
Back when actual research was done, a guy at University of Memphis mapped crime--for a long time, it was confined in Memphis to the projects. Project housing closed, and welfare housing vouchers replaced it. After that, crime exploded across Memphis even in previously safe places due to Section 8 bringing in gang bangers to the magic dirt of safe areas. Became not safe areas in short order.

My sources are telling me Talarico is in a mental health facility. His campaign has stopped actively planning events in the vital homestretch of the campaign.
If this is true, this is actually a time to pray for Talarico. We should, of course, savagely mock his smug, awful campaign advisors, by all means...and while yes, of course, this would be disqualifying for Talarico's aspirations to be a Texas Senator, we must hold empathy for anyone undergoing crisis. Campaigns are brutal, and not everybody is cut out for it. You need very thick skin. As much as I don't want Talarico anywhere near government, I also don't want wish him harm, and no political office is worth having a breakdown. His awful advisors are at fault for this. They pushed him to be something he isn't, and it didn't work.
I'm praying that this isn't true, and he's OK. You want to win these fights on the battlefield of ideas, not the minefield of poor health."

Rumors are that Talarico is a manic depressive aka bi-polar. But one step at a time on rumor wrangling.

Not really, Talafreako's only shot for an upset was to spike blue turnout to eleventy and have GOP not turn out for Paxton. That appears to not be the case. More importantly, Talafreako's disappearance is probably affecting down ballot competitive races in Texas for the US House mostly around the Rio Grande IRRC.
The building momentum in Florida for Donalds and Moore is likely going to depress Dem turnout in that state making it easier to turn the House redistricting there also into gains.

Talarico was never going to win.
He's too weird and too of the wrong party for a deep red state that has shifted massively to the right in the last decade. In a state where the establishment has actively been on its back heels and getting kicked out of office in favor of people like Ken Paxton, who is effectively the standard bearer of the replacement.
The only thing that convinced people he had a shot was polling that made literally no sense including things like the white vote shifting 30 points in 2 years, which literally never happens.

Chuck is right. Criminals born and bred in big cities also travel to your very community by way of interstates. They go visit Cuz in the country and do their gang banging thing right in Sleepytown USA. The thug diaspora after Katrina had N'Awlins hood rats spread throughout the south spiking crime levels whereever they ended up.

Funny how at one time, neighborhoods without freeway exits were called racist, because it prevented the poor, but deserving to have access to jobs and social lives among the rich.
Then, freeway exits were found to actually be racist because it allowed racists to live in the suburbs and still travel to jobs and cultural landmarks in city centers, without having to go through "ethnic" neighborhoods.

They did raise the point that no one has seen TJM at the same time as Dave in Florida. Which was in fact true because of the gray box paradox. We only see in ASCII here--no one sees anyone on this blog. And the sequential nature of threads means that you can be Schrodinger's Gray Box TJM or Dave in Florida. We have to open the Gray box to determine which you are presenting.

Republicans don't vote in Democrat primaries.
Republicans in PA are the only people in PA who give Fetterman positive marks, even though he votes for every judge Biden put up and against every judge that Trump puts up.
I just hope Fetterman's replacement for the next election is a one-armed trans-Muslim who advocates for the murder of black Americans because they have too much privilege.

Pennsylvania Early Absentee Update 10/9:
Republicans had another big swing their way with returns with a HUGE 1.92% gain over Democrats.
They also gained slightly (+0.22%) with their new requests, which is something they need to keep up. You can see in the 3rd image the share % for each party and in the last few days Rs are really gaining.
Overall, we are trending towards seeing something around 2022 and likely better for the GOP in terms of absentee volume being lower: that means a lower Democrat lead going into election day.
Final returns for 2022 and 2024 are in the 4th image."

Last week, Republicans effectively pulled the plug on Michael Whatley, who is running for Senate in North Carolina. Instead, they’re redirecting their funds to Kansas.
That’s right, Kansas.
And to put this into perspective, we’re not talking about a few thousand bucks being shuffled around. We’re talking tens of millions of dollars in canceled ad buys and pulled spending — the whole nine yards.
Now here’s where we run into an issue: if we’re meant to believe that Republicans will hold the Senate, then that would surely mean holding onto North Carolina, right?
While I’m no swampy consultant, I know Kansas is a far cry from a swing state, so if Republicans are cutting their losses in North Carolina to save Kansas, that paints a much, much bleaker picture than Congressional leadership would have us imagine.

This is false.
There's still $28 million dedicated to NC for Whatley.
A PAC canceled one ad buy, and people have spun this idea that they're cutting off Whatley.

And Dems are underperforming early vote numbers in NC compared to 2022.
The GOP just has a shit ton of cash and is throwing it everywhere, including Kansas.

GOP has so much money right now over the Dems that they are looking for places to spend it. CNBC story had it yesterday--GOP has raised about 800 million for the midterm while Democrats about 200. Speaker Johnson just raised another 30 million this past week which means in each competitive House race, that is about one million per race in more funding.
So far, from ev and vote by mail requests, the electorate is much older and whiter than even 2022. Youth turnout is single digits.
Pollsters, because yutes have smart phones and respond to text requests, have yutes as a far bigger part of the likely voter screens they use this year and GOP Gen X and Boomers have gone radio silent in response.
The smart pollsters right now should be recalibrating weighting with real numbers as to the likely electorate.

Created during World War II, the painting resonates with the global anxiety of the time.
The crow's lifeless form can be seen as an allusion to the casualties of conflict, paralleling the experiences of soldiers in battle.

Old Crow was once my standby bourbon purchase. Reasonably priced back then (1970s). And at one point they sold a flattened fifth bottle, a giant flask, with its own cup on top, for travelers to fit into their suitcases.

Winter Fields, 1942
17 5/16 × 41 in.
Andrew Wyeth
Whitney Museum of American Art
When many American artists were turning toward abstraction, Andrew Wyeth remained a realist, producing precise, evocative paintings of the places he knew best. Winter Fields depicts a dead, frozen crow Wyeth found near his home in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania. He took the bird into his studio, sketched it, and then painted it in exquisite detail from a worm’s-eye view, which magnifies the bird relative to its surroundings and thereby suggests the wider significance of its death. Completed during World War II, Winter Fields recalls similarly unflinching photographs of corpses lying on battlefields. Yet Wyeth resented comparisons of his work to photography and said he despised cameras. In fact, despite its apparent precision, Winter Fields subtly distorts reality. The distant trees are as sharply focused as the crow in the foreground—an impossibility for both the human eye and the camera lens. This visual effect compresses the pictorial space toward the surface, and is accentuated by the lacelike, overlapping blades of grass, which create a delicate surface pattern.
A local, I'm biased.💖

No lessons will be learned from this by anyone. Democrats will still think Texas is purple, and Republicans will continue to assume that NY is so far out of reach that it's not worth even thinking about.

We had a tropical storm come near in July of 2023...my wife had scheduled cancer treatments in AZ, but all flights at the airport were canceled, and the expected flooding on the interstate precluded driving...it sucked. In the end, I believe our local airport only saw 20MPH gusts.

His political career until he decided to run for Senate was an unremarkable woke dullard who said woke things in a save Austin state house seat. He never got pushback or had to run a major campaign with any real outside attention.

"Legal immigration" now includes accepting any asylum claim anyone throws out and giving them work permits while never following up on the asylum claim or any immigration related matter at all.
What the right considers to be "legal immigration" is a remnant of a memory from the 1950s, not the reality of American immigration since Ted Kennedy spewed forth that immigration bill in the 60s.
We can't have "legal immigration" again until Hart-Cellar is repealed or we get a comparable bill to the 1924 Immigration Act.

The Biden basement strategy didn't work for Biden in Texas in 2020 during the covid panic.

To be fair to CNN their love for country and troops is zero. So they can’t hate Trump more than that.

The US needs a 10 year moratorium in order to figure out who is here legally and what their legal status actually is. Did they lie on any statement of residency? Have they applied for benefits? Have they aided other illegal acts? All questions should be resolved before we admit a single person claiming to be a worthy immigrant.

If that causes him a mental breakdown, he's a bad person and we should mock his infirmities.

We had an effective 40 year moratorium after the 1924 bill.
We were getting 5-7% GDP in the 50s. Sure, a lot of that was post-war, Europe destroyed itself stuff.
But it's not like Europe is a vibrant source of commerce now either.
