Daily Tech News 1 July 2026
Top Story
- South Korea's national and regional governments and major industrial groups have jointly committed to $1 trillion in investment to expand production of chips and bots. (Ars Technica)
$585 billion to increase chip production, with a particular focus on doubling memory production within five years.
$357 billion to construct new datacenters to, uh, use up all that extra memory.
And still more billions to expand production of robots and build 8 gigawatts of new generating capacity to power it all.
Tech News
- Speaking of which, Henrico County in Virginia is asking schools to open the blinds and turn off the lights to save electricity. (404 Media) (archive site)
Henrico County has 37 datacenters and is constructing 17 more right now.
- Meta - which is to say Facebook - is reusing its DDR4 memory in DDR5 servers. (Tom's Hardware)
That doesn't work, so what they've done is create a custom CXL-to-DDR4 adapter chip, which allows the servers to access memory over PCIe.
- G Skill's new ultra low latency 32GB memory kits cost just $1100. (Tom's Hardware)
Thanks, but no.
- For those experiencing difficulties with the latest iteration of Microsoft Notepad, there is a solution. (GitHub)
Though you will need to assemble it yourself.
It should come to about 2686 bytes and has full feature compatibility with classic Notepad.
- The Redmagic Astra 2 is a large small tablet with a 2400x1504 185Hz OLED display. (Liliputing)
With its 9" screen it's really pushing the boundaries of a small tablet, but it's only about 20% heavier than the 7" Nexus 7.
It runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 and has up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage. Pricing in China starts at $780 for the base model with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage and goes up from there.
The previous model - no longer available - started at $549, so it's gotten a lot more expensive.
- The GPD Win Max 3 is a mini-laptop with, curiously enough, a 9" 2400x1504 OLED display. (Liliputing)
With a 165Hz refresh so it's the display used in the previous Redmagic Astra tablet.
Apart from that, it has up to a Ryzen 395 processor with 128GB of RAM, and M.2 2280 and 2230 slots for storage.
And a detachable 97Wh battery, which is a lot given its size.

This is misinformation about #monkeypox. The outbreak is occurring almost entirely among men who have sex with me. Public health experts agree that sexual contact is the principle driver of transmission and have asserted that risk to kids
remains "very low*.

I'm convinced that Cartoons and 60's 70's sitcoms gave us normal Men an inflated view of what kind of chicks we could marry.
Betty and Wilma with those schlugs? Josie and the Pussycats? Mom Brady? Mrs. McMillan? Mrs. Ward (who looked good...)...
The era was full of normal to substandard Men, who were the butt of most jokes, always having Hawty wives.

No, none of us are ever going to fight for it.
Those farmers two and a half centuries fought for it.
All we do is talk and vote, and sit on juries to give the system a veneer of legitimacy. And pay taxes because we've decided that's somehow virtuous. And submit to the government's demands (see covid) because it doesn't occur to most of us not to mindlessly obey. We suppress men so that idiot women can pretend to be our equals, and celebrate sodomites.
We don't value independence. Most of "our" corporations and public servants will happily enforce European speech codes. And we're addicted to cheap Chinese shit. And for some reason even our side's leaders want greater entanglement with the Chicoms.
This generation simply isn't worthy of the name "American."

So if you drop the file:

It creates a Card called React, two search tags: Guide and Reference and the name of the file: React-How-To

Hilarious, in a dark way. Not to be outdone, some including Sen. Schmitt are talking about a constitutional amendment (!) as a "fix". Other Legal Cult types are musing about the "opening" Kavanaugh left, for legislative fixes. Such "fixes" have as much chance of happening as a repeal of O-care.

My prediction is more recent, that the NYT will have a glowing profile of John Roberts, "The Man Who Stood firm against tyranny."
It will start by noting that he had a dodgy origin--appointed by W after all--but grew to recognize the creeping tyranny ("America is the best!") that threatened this nation.
Real history will note him as the greatest traitor in American history.

SCOTUS now issues decrees, not anything resembling a serious ruling (though, for the 1,000th time, the ridiculous conceit that courts should be anything more than glorified clerks should always be rejected - contemptuously) based on a straight reading of the law or constitution.
Not sure I can bear to read all of it, but seems they've reached new lows now. Wasn't Ginsberg the idiot who burbled about "learning" from other constitutions (like that of the model state of South Africa!). And now we have these 5 cretins citing concepts from extinct monarchies to invert the plain meaning (zero doubt about the actual purpose) of an amendment.

There's always boxing, and now all the new more barbaric fighting sports, for the Coliseum mob.
Sat with an NHL owner at a game in the late 80s, asked him about the ban-fighting situation. Amazingly, given his team's "legacy" and nickname, he was in favor, but he said only a handful of other owners had agreed. Gretzky and a few other players had pushed it, IIRC.
An AHL player I dined with after a game in which he was involved in a brief altercation said they were laughing. It was kind of a pro forma "fight" as one goalies had been accidentally bumped during a commercial break, so both sides felt "obligated" to do the kabuki.
Of course without fights hockey can't exist, well, except for the 95% of hockey in which fights are just as banned as in tennis or golf.

But over time I came to realize that there were much better, more nuanced arguments, and lots of precedent for dealing with the issue in more manageable ways, and so my thoughts changed.
But now here comes Roberts, today, saying “well the language in the 14th is clear, and SCOTUS says Wong Kim Ark is controlling, so you’re gonna have to do a constitutional amendment to change anything.”

>> and also delves into some of the aspects of orbital mechanics. I knew it was complicated, but I didn’t realize the twists involved with rendezvous.
There are literal twists involved. I recalled some of the complexity last night after Rodrigo posted that cool ISS docking simulator thing.
They originally misunderestimated just how complex and tricky this would be. That is, final proximity operations. Chasing a spacecraft already in orbit, that is launching another spacecraft and matching course and speed, they knew that was complex.
But once you got within a few hundred feet, they didn't think it would be that bad. And that was due to just naively applying the Equivalence Principle. The Erf's tidal field is very small, literally on the order of micro-g's. So they assumed it would be close to 3D inertial space for two close-by objects free-falling in orbit together.
The trouble is while that is true, it's the time scale involved. In LEO, you're whipping around around once per 90 minutes give or take, and that means that tidal field is also rotating. That makes all the difference.

This wiped out all sorts of things we took for granted. The Milkman and full service gasoline stations. My parents were by no means poor, but the single breadwinner went bye-bye. Generic brands. Powdered Milk instead of fresh. Dairy butter a distant memory. Beef and pork did a moonshot, etc. Workers wages have been stagnant since then. 1974. That’s insane.
By 1980 the US dollar was in trouble. The Fed chief Paul Volcker, raised interest rates overnight to almost 20%, including the overnight rate in fact. That’s the interest rates banks charge each other.
This is not possible today. Not even close. Monetary inflation steals your money. Even at the “targeted” 2 or 3 percent rate of inflation, your savings and investments are cut in half every 20 years. Complete bullshit.

A big part of the expense were the tracking stations and comms. They had all these factors to think about. We’re gonna launch from the Cape at a certain degree bearing, and we want to more or less fly over “friendly” countries in case of trouble.
Certain countries might be ideally located for a tracking station, but they are unstable regimes. John Llewellyn was a former combat Marine who was in Mission Control sent to some remote site that was “experiencing unrest” and roadblocks and twitchy guards with guns and that kind of crap. Gene Kranz got a cryptic teletype from him once that took a while to figure out what he meant.
“We’ve got them where we want them” meaning they were surrounded, but they weren’t leaving their post. LOL

Tananarive tracking station was a big one during the Apollo days. I remember that because of the name. They moved there in 1964 from some other African site due to political unrest, and I think they closed Tananarive in '75 when the govt. became hostile.

In October 1973, the Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries announced that it was implementing a total oil embargo against countries that had supported Israel at any point during the 1973 Yom Kippur War,
They took advantage of Nixon being hamstrung by the Democrat putsch against him.
October ‘73 was the perfect time to punch them in the nose.

Well, thank God you never employed me. I went through two serious bouts of that garbage, and luckily I didn't lose my job. Do you fire people who get heart attacks? I don't think so.
True, actual depression is chemical, not a case of the sads. It is treatable, usually, but not always, with medication. I know that medication is prescribed like candy, but for those who truly need it, it is a Godsend, as is the time away from stress that is required for recovery.
The fact that Muffy and Buffy claim they are depressed and take a bunch of SRIs doesn't negate that fact that some of us need that treatment to live.

And with this absurd "ruling" that completely inverts the uncontested intent, context, purpose, AND language of the 14th, remember anything/anyone born inside US territory is automatically a citizen. Don't believe such citizens can be denaturalized or deported (how would that be possible? deported to where?), as naturalized citizens can be. Unless there has been a massive change in our laws that I've missed.
This atrocity has 2 enormous practical consequences only one of which seems to be recognized. First it codifies and greatly increases the perverse incentive to enter the US illegally (or any way possible). Second it represents a new maximum in judicial lawlessness and usurpation. There was no ambiguity in the 14th, its language and history are simple and uncontestable. It was specifically a remedy for the unique situation of former slaves in the US. Period. That it was such was redundantly confirmed by decades later when equivalent legislation for Native Americans, also obviously people in a unique situation, was passed.

I think what we all want is to matter to someone. Not in the sense that parents matter to children, because children could not survive otherwise.
I mean that someone choose that someone else matters to them, not because of necessity, but because of choice.
To put it dumber, "I want to matter to someone because that someone decided I mattered to them, not because of necessity, but because they looked at me and said 'You matter to me.'"

Moscow. U.S. Embassy. New Year's Eve.
Ambassador says "Think of that poor KGB bastard stuck in a booth somewhere on New Year's Eve, listening to us having fun".

In fact, all Aliens & Foreign nationals have been required to register since about 1940, with their updated address. The F.B.I. had a fairly large database of named individuals who would be rounded up and detained during a declared national emergency.
During the war foreign nationals or “enemy” aliens could not be in possession of cameras, binoculars or shortwave radios. Enrico Fermi was not allowed to fly on aircraft because - before he was naturalized - Italy was a belligerent. Later, the government didn’t want to let him fly simply because he was so important to the war effort.
The government can make things happen (or not happen) when it wants to do so. If your country is invaded by millions of illegal aliens, guess what. Someone wants it that way.

Last thread, I was going on about this being the anniversary of the Tunguska event, early morning June 30th, 1908. The object was likely a big fragment from the Taurid meteor stream, which is debris from Comet Encke. The stream's orbit crosses the earth right at this time, and the angle comes in from the sun. The morning side of earth is leading in the orbit, and that's the side it comes in on. Siberia was in the bullseye by luck of the rotational draw.
Now, there is a tie-in with the Younger Dryas Impact theory, too. Comet Encke could well be a chunk of a much larger comet that broke up ages ago, and on a faithful day 12,800 years ago, the Earth plowed right into that.
Some of the YD Impact guys joke that the date was June 30, 10,800 BC.

I was trying to find an animation of what happens to a little spherical cloud of test particles dropped into a circular orbit. That shows how object initially close together drift in a complex ways. I've seen it before, but couldn't easily find a good one. Anyway, that little ball of particles will get stretched into a long skinny banana like shape all along the orbital path, and it will be oscillating and undulating as it does so.
That's a perfect way to see how a comet forms a long debris trail that becomes a meteor stream as it goes around the sun.

Afterward, I was incredulous at my near-mistake. I SAW the bike approaching, but it just didn't register as *a vehicle that I should yield to* even though the rider had right-of-way.

Seems like a good time to test out the Strawberry Basil Smash recipe I'm bringing (found at https://tinyurl.com/2akndn7x):
- 2 ounces gin
- 3/4 ounce orgeat
- 1 ounce lime juice
- 3-5 fresh basil leaves
- 3ish strawberries
- generous barspoon of strawberry jam
- 2 dashes Fee Brothers Rhubarb Bitters
Muddle, shake with ice, strain, pour.
It's good! Might need another test though.

In 13 years of playing organized hockey, The Kid only got in one fight, in Langford, up on Vancouver Island. The official "shake off of the gloves" and everything. He got the best of it, and as soon as the linesmen grabbed them he went turtle, so the other kid got in nothing. The ref could have called a major and game for fighting which was an automatic two game suspension, but I think he was amused. Matching double minors for roughing.

Here is the "shape of the earth" in a gravitational sense. This is the geoid, the gravitational equipotential surface (which defines sea level globally) of the earth.
This is not the topographic shape, it's important to note. The earth's gravity vector is normal to that surface at any point. This is the result of high precision satellite gravimetry, mapping the earth's gravitational field to high precision:

That's also exaggerated to let you see the deviation from spherical easily. The height parameter at the top left controls that.

A passing attempt in a marked no-passing zone on U.S. Highway 12 east of Kooskia ended in a crash that killed three motorcyclists Tuesday afternoon, according to Idaho State Police.
ISP said troopers are investigating the three-fatality collision, which happened at about 4 p.m. Tuesday, June 16, 2026, near milepost 113 on U.S. Highway 12 east of Kooskia.
The preliminary investigation indicates a 2019 Ford F-150 was traveling westbound when the driver attempted to pass another vehicle in a marked no-passing zone. ISP said the pickup crossed the double yellow centerline and collided with three motorcycles traveling eastbound.
ISP said the 60-year-old female driver of the Ford, from Colorado Springs, Colorado, was taken to a local hospital for medical evaluation. After her release, she was arrested and booked into the Idaho County Jail on probable cause for three counts of vehicular manslaughter.

Erdogan speaks about wanting to destroy Israel and take control of Jerusalem again.
I think he forgot that 400 years of Ottoman rule are over. Today there is a strong State of Israel.
He should calm down. We will not allow anyone to threaten our existence or our security, and I think we have shown what we are capable of.

They just can't let it go. Trump didn't give the Kurds enough weapons. If they don't settle down, if this thing kicks up again (it will) we should decimate the whole region. They want to live like 7th century barbarians let's make their wish come true.

I wasn't as sore as I thought I'd be, this morning. So, I went out and did more work in the same area today. Am making good progress in a space that's been neglected for several years. Think I've removed about a cubic yard of english ivy! Next step... spray it with shrub poison. Might take a couple-three treatments, that stuff is *tough* to eradicate.

Gonzales argued Democrats needed to take a more aggressive approach to opposing President Trump and criticized Hickenlooper's moderate record, including some of his votes in favor of Trump's nominees.
The result marks a setback for the Democratic Party's progressive wing after a string of recent primary victories elsewhere

I'm retired. I get all the days off. DH, not so much.
But, we are scooting down to Kasilof on the 5th through the 10th. Dipnetting some lovely Kasilof Red Salmon, which some of you morons and ettes have tasted. DH fishes, I clean and ice. We go with friends, and then have feasts on shore along with a few libations. It probably doesn't pay out, but oh my, how we love our smoked salmon and our good friends and a good time.
Watching the weir counts and it is looking good for that week.

Exchanging in the French is a classic out for both sides when they don't want test their knowledge of the opening theory. Usually black isn't the one you'd expect to opt out, but 3. ... dxe4 is a solid response to both 3. Nc3 and 3. Nd2 so it allows the black player to comfortably play the French without having to memorize quite as much.

My brother was driving his new HONDA 90 when a woman pulled in front of him. Broadsided he did, flew over the car he did, and cracked his cheap helmet. Thankfully he survived.
I always wrote it off as small scooter. Then just 5 years ago, I was driving, clear crisp morning a woman pulled out in front of me. Broadsided her I did.I was until that second skeptical of airbags. NO MORE. Without airbags and crush zones, I would not be here.
So sorry for your friends.

Lauterbrunnen Valley in the Swiss Alps
Dog hints that it's time for a walk. World Pup shootout. Cat working hard on the farm. Malinois thinks its owner's umbrella is a chew toy. I've heard some call the performance pets put on when they haven't been fed for twenty minutes the Hunger Games. Here a kitten pounces and seizes on an unopened can of cat food, carrying on like a mental patient. This dog must be salty. Kangaroo rush hour. Kitten adopts a jogger.
Space Invaders. Dogs beating the heat. Will you be my friend? Wobbly juvenile giraffe stoops down for water.

LOL. Reminded me of a story Dad told about this one particularly ne'er do well guy in his small home town, back in the early 1940s:
Grandma would set pies on the window sill to cool, and occasionally one would "disappear." Usually apple. She discovered that it was always the same guy, and he had no family so it wasn't as if he was trying to provide for children.
She made a special 'apple' pie out of potato slices, along with the usual good-smelling spices, baked it, then set it on the sill and left the house for a while. Sure enough, it got stolen.
Haha, she said no more pies were stolen after that!

Do you want to hear another funny story? Some guy who recovered from being a genuine neo-Nazi punk in East Germany talked about his childhood there. The kids would steal the cakes from the local industrial bakery and... use them to have cake-fights. The food was such shyte that they didn't even eat the "treats." Just used them as weapons!

One of my favorite trips was visiting Lake Lucerne and Mt. Pilatus. They have a tour called the Golden Circle that starts with a boat ride around Lake Lucerne which is beautiful. Busier than that little valley but right at the base of the Alps and lovely.
The ride ends at the base of Mt Pilatus where you take a cog railway to the top of Mt Pilatus. The railway is very steep but there are homes like the one in the photo above and cows grazing on the side of the mountain and crazy Swiss hiking up the mountain.
Big viewing area at the top of the Alps and the lake and a couple restaurants and a hotel. You hop on a gondola and ride back to Lucerne for big ending. Really spectacular views.

Or say, an after school Bible study group. You just have to allow an atheist satan worshipping goat fucker be President, or it’s “discrimination”.
In much the same way, the USA is not allowed to define itself any longer. This is not by accident. “Sovereign” nations have to go, and be subsumed by the globalist borg. We’re watching this play out in real time. 100 years worth now, I suppose.

Setting allowable limits arbitrarily is a time proven method of destroying business and industry, a de facto prohibition or outlawing of any given particular activity. It’s not “illegal” per se, it’s simply that nobody can pencil it out and afford to comply.

Brando was extremely competitive, and in 1968 he appeared at a private party celebrating Oscar nominations in which Paul Newman was in attendance with his wife Joanne Woodward. Brando approached Newman and began a conversation that eventually became very heated, resulting in Brando shouting and Newman walking away. Later that evening Brando stood on a table and challenged Newman to an egg eating contest, like the one Newman was depicted doing in Cool Hand Luke, however Newman ignored the challenge.
Brando, undeterred, had somebody from his entourage bring him dozens of hard boiled eggs, and started the competition without Newman. While eating, he would loudly keep count as he consumed the eggs saying things like "21 Newman! 21 eggs already! I'm better than you Newman!", while mocking and insulting Newman the whole time, and calling him a "phony".
Eventually, Brando consumed 51 eggs before being removed from the party, 1 more than Newman's character did in Cool Hand Luke. As he was being escorted out, he

ACB is perhaps the worst justice to ever serve on the court. She is subverting the constitution at will, along with her fellow traveler, Roberts.
A lot of people have decried the fact they haven’t taken up the 2A bans cases, even as many citizens are irreversibly harmed by the lack of injunctions- which by the way should be a “clue”. I say, I hope this court never takes up a ban case because it will just be another right ACB steals from us.

From the day the blockade was actually lifted until today, we have exported over 40 million barrels of oil, and this happened in just the last 10 or 12 days.
But in the previous 50 or 60 days, we truly didn't export even a single barrel of oil. We were entirely tied up with this issue..."

There’s also some semi-related interesting stuff on the torture devices constructed to put the astronauts through the paces.
One was called MASTIF, it revolved on 3 gimbals and could hit 60 RPM in a single revolution, turning on three axes. They had a big red “Chicken” button to be pressed, when you couldn’t handle it any longer. A loud klaxon would sound, letting everyone know you wimped out. LOL

Meanwhile it's still commonly used here in Alaska.
Calling them all "Inuit" is jug-headed even by woketard standards.
The Inuit live in Canada. Alaska has Inupiat (fairly closely related to the Inuit, but distinct) and Yupik (more distant).
Yupik definitely do not like being called "Inuit". Historically the two groups did not get along.
The languages are related, but not that closely. It's like calling a Spaniard "French" just because they both speak a Romance language (i.e., might even get your ass kicked for that).
Oh, and Alaska's Indian tribes are definitely not Eskimos. Take the historical dislike between Inupiat and Yupik and magnify it by about a hundred.
Where I live there are Eskimos (Chugachigmiut, a Yupik people) on the other side of the Chugach mountain range east of town, in the Prince William Sound drainage. On this side, in the Cook Inlet drainage, it's historically been all Indians (Denaʼina, an Athabascan people).
Why? Because the Denaʼina genocided the Chugachigmiut on this side of the Chugach mountains before Whitey even showed up.

Miranda Devine
@mirandadevine
@NYT is still lying about the Laptop From Hell, to excuse the fact they failed to cover the story. This time, the so-called paper of record claims that it was the loathsome Miles Guo who first published material from Hunter Biden's laptop. False. The @nypost first published that material on October 14, 2020. Guo's sleazy G-News subsequently ran material from the laptop - along with faked photos that were not on the laptop. I often wondered if Guo ran the fake photos deliberately to discredit the laptop because he mixed in the same circles as Hunter's Chinese pals and was worried he would be found out.

@NewYorker Israel's ban on Palestinian workers has left families hungry and parents unable to pay for their children's school fees. Still, the ban is being justified in the name of security, and shows no signs of abating.
Katie PavlichThe New York Times freaks out over Republican women having babies while Democrat women abort theirs.
@KatiePavlich Israel is a sovereign country and Palestinians from Gaza or the West Bank have zero right to work in that country - especially after Israelis who lived on the border with Gaza invited Palestinians into their homes to work and break bread. Gaza Palestinians returned the favor by taking notes about where safe rooms were, layouts of the homes, if there were dogs, etc. in plans for their ultimate slaughter, pillaging and rape on October 7. Dozens of Americans were murdered at the NOVA peace festival down the road. So yeah, they're not allowed to work in Israel anymore. Maybe you should be asking the governments of Gaza and the West Bank to foster economies that benefit their people so they don't have to go work in the country next door.
This isn't pregnancy. It's a political plot. A full-blown, unhinged conspiracy orchestrated by the MAGA movement to take over the hearts, minds and uteruses of gestating people all over the nation, one bassinet, one burp, one stretch mark at a time. The New York Times has cracked the code. It's Pulitzer time, baby! In an investigation masquerading as a style piece, the Paper of Record published an unglued commentary, researched with the self-seriousness of Watergate, revealing that a whopping three women connected to the White House are preggers. At the same time! That Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, Katie Miller, the wife of White House deputy chief of staff for policy Stephen Miller and Second Lady Usha Vance should all be on the nest simultaneously isn't just a happy mini baby boom. It is -- according to the Times -- a pernicious "Handmaid's Tale"-style political plot promoting conservative child-making frenzy in an age of declining birthrates and the collapse of the Democratic Party in middle America. It's a cautionary fable, a warning that the dreaded GOP's steady rate of reproduction amid a Democratic baby drought poses a dire threat to the nation. According to the Gray Lady (now Gray Female-Identifying Newspaper) Republicans are planning to win support and ever-greater numbers of adherents by growing their own voters. One infant at a time. It's all laid out in the piece entitled "The Politics and Power of the Pregnancy Image." In it, Times chief fashion critic Vanessa Friedman writes: "That three such prominent women in the MAGA movement were pregnant at pretty much the same time was, indubitably, a coincidence." Or maybe not. "But" -- there's always a "but" -- "for an administration that has such an intuitive and strategic understanding of the power of aesthetics that an unspoken dress code in which men outfit themselves in the image of the president has developed, it has also become a telling one," Friedman froths. "Together, the women have created a notably consistent, and somewhat paradigm-shifting, picture of the White House's family and fertility platform."

Israel's ban on Palestinian workers has left families hungry and parents unable to pay for their children's school fees. Still, the ban is being justified in the name of security, and shows no signs of abating.

Stupid NYT. Do they think they coordinated their ovulation times and nights of romance??
When I was a jr. associate, tin my class of about 20 lawyers (probably 12 women?) there were 4 of us pregnant at the same time, and 3 more pregnant in the class ahead of me. We all were due within 2 months of each other. We lined up for a picture of all of our protruding bellies, which I still have.
When there are more than a few married women between 25 and 39 and in your workforce, the odds of several of them being pregnant at the same time seem pretty high.

New York Magazine
It was widely, almost universally, expected that Donald Trump’s 2025 executive order purporting to abolish “birthright citizenship” would not survive a U.S. Supreme Court review of its constitutionality. Not so expected was that four Supreme Court justices would claim Trump’s action *did* comply with the 14th Amendment despite its clear language that “all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to its jurisdiction, are citizens of the United States.”
But this defeat for Trump isn’t as definitive as the one we expected, writes Ed Kilgore. “As a matter of constitutional law, Trump v. Barbara is a 5-4 decision that hardly closes off the question for all time. Rather than shutting down Trump’s efforts to radically redefine and restrict the meaning of citizenship, the narrow conservative majority at the Supreme Court will likely embolden him and like-minded nativists to keep up the fight.”

The restaurant features a welcoming dining space with wide glass doors for al fresco dining on warmer days. It honors the award-winning former White House culinary team member and beloved personal chef to the Obama family who tragically passed away in 2023. Tafari Campbell was known as a warm, fun-loving, and humble soul who used his immense gifts and passion for food to spread joy and bring people together, and a painting of him by Kate Capshaw will hang in the restaurant.

The first writes in a style that I can only describe as stream of consciousness. The other writes as if she's casually chatting with the reader. Needless to say, I have spilled rivers of red pixels on various pleadings and administrative decisions.
So, no...I think it's entirely probable that Jumanji actually writes this drivel.

“Expert” legal opinion from the rarefied air of academe is in fact responsible in part as to why the U.S.A. is so utterly FUBAR.
I’m not “anti intellectual”; precisely the opposite, in fact. But so many important positions have been hijacked by quacks and grifters and pseudo-intellectuals. It’s a scam, pulled on the citizenry.
“Oh, this is all really complicated and stuff. You didn’t attend Deah Old Hahvahd. Don’t worry, we’ll ‘splain to you what they really meant.”
One slot (at least) should be reserved for normal, decent people. A plumber, or a welder, a dry cleaning business owner, that kind of thing.

Justice Kagan initially hired her in July 2020, but due to conflict-of-interest concerns while her father was serving as U.S. Attorney General, the clerkship was postponed. She later joined Justice Kagan's chambers and is listed among the clerks for the Court.

But somehow a WASP/Jew/or Wide Latina born with a silver spoon in her mouth and a lifetime of fake government jobs provides representation to normal people that work at real jobs...

What if I already have pants on? Do I put on additional pair? Do they go on over the current pants or on another part of my body? I haven't tested it but I think I have a finite number of pants max capacity, somewhere in the ballpark of two dozen pants and things start going nonlinear.

Find a conservative woman (easy to find as no tattoos on arms or blue hair and nostril ring), woo her with your kindness, humor and good looks. Marry. And join the political plot. We did our duty and had two sons who vote conservative and married and are Christian.
I wanted one more boy (it would have probably been twin boys) and my husband vetoed due to the c-section potential uterine rupture deal at the time and losing me and the baby.
Get this done!

Generally, I’ve learned that unscrupulous types like to muddy the water, to try and make it look deep.
“This is really complicated. There is no simple solution, blah blah blah.”
The truth is, sometimes things are very simple. It’s just not easy and this especially applies to Politics.
When your local critter is enthusing about how they are fine-tuning the Weather a hundred years from now, you can be sure they aren’t doing fuck-all about roads, crime, sewage, any of the nuts and bolts stuff about good government. Those are indeed difficult tasks, but the one thing they are not is “complicated”.
Consider though, since they cannot handle simple tasks, what are the odds they are going to shine on the truly complex stuff?
Yeah. No chance.

Tafari’s Kitchen: Located inside the Forum building just off the John Lewis Plaza, the Center’s onsite restaurant offers a full menu of casual food inspired by the Obamas’ personal stories, culture, and commitment to healthy eating. The restaurant features a welcoming dining space with wide glass doors for al fresco dining on warmer days. It honors the award-winning former White House culinary team member and beloved personal chef to the Obama family who tragically passed away in 2023. Tafari Campbell was known as a warm, fun-loving, and humble soul who used his immense gifts and passion for food to spread joy and bring people together, and a painting of him by Kate Capshaw will hang in the restaurant.

I wonder from whom Nina got her "scoop"?
My guess -- and that's all that it is -- is that every SCOTUS reporter has that story (and one like it about Thomas) already written and in a folder on their computer. She had it open to add stuff about todays rulings, hit the wrong button and published it by mistake. Of course, nothing like that could ever happen around here. Ace runs a tighter ship than NPR does.

OUT: Media Propaganda That Democrats Aren't Socialists, Just Liberals
IN: New Media Propaganda That Democrats Aren't Communists, Just Socialists
Given that you lied for 70 years about Democrats' strong affinity for creeping socialism, you don't really have much credibility now that you admit they've been socialists all along but defenitely!!! aren't Slowly Boiling Frogs communists, do you?
Axios:GOP reboots the Red Scare as young Democrats embrace socialism "Red scare." LOL, we're just making it up, huh, Axios? Where do we get these crazy ideas from? Just pure gaslighting.
I have little use for Steve Bannon but he's basically right. Yes, the op goes back that far. "These aren't the communists in the State Department you're looking for." As the communist's left favorite two-step deceit always goes: CLAIM 1: There are no communists in the State Department When Claim 1 falls, go to the back-up: CLAIM 2: Well yes there are communists in the State Department but it's no big deal! You see this two-step all the time. "Of course Democrats aren't grooming kids to be transgender"/"Of course Democrats are encouraging children to find their true sexual selves, as they should!!!"
70 years after the Red Scare and 35 years after the fall of the Soviet Union, President Trump and Republicans are trying to re-introduce a national fear of "godless communists" ahead of the critical midterms. Why it matters: A wave of resounding victories by Democratic Socialists has the GOP trotting out a message that last worked when most of those candidates weren't even born. It's too soon to know if the message is working -- but Trump and Republican strategists see an opening with voters old enough to remember Soviet-era nuclear drills and spy dramas. The big picture: Former Trump aide Steve Bannon has argued for years that former Wisconsin Sen. Joe McCarthy was right about communism's widespread infiltration into the U.S. government.
Well yes, especially now that the would-be Pan-Communist Empire has fused with the Pan-Islamist Empire.
On Sunday, Trump called communism "the Greatest Threat to our Country since World War I, World War II, Pearl Harbor, or 9/11!"
Once a fringe view, now right-wing voices seem to be calling for a McCarthyism revival.In other words: It's so strange that now that Democrats are admitting to being communists, people are once again announcing themselves as communist-opponents!
What they're saying: "It's a common electoral strategy for conservatives to attack liberals, progressives, democratic socialists as communists, and imply therefore that they are much more extreme than they actually are," Kathryn Olmsted, a U.C. Davis distinguished professor of history, tells Axios. But, she adds, "we're definitely reaching a new fever pitch."Keep in mind the media has denied for 70 years that Democrats were socialists. Now that the Democrat Socialists have taken over the Democrat Party, they say of course they're socialists, but that's a good thing!
Reality check: Democratic socialism is not communism. New York's Zohran Mamdani and Washington, D.C., mayoral candidate Janeese Lewis George both call for expanded government programs, Axios' Josephine Walker writes. "Any attempt to smear us as 'extremists' falls flat when so many Americans are struggling with the rising cost of housing, homelessness, unaffordable healthcare, and underfunded schools," a DSA spokesperson told Axios in a statement. Still, Democrats are grappling with what it means for progressives and young Americans embracing labels that once stoked fears of communism. Between the lines: Red-baiting "has much less resonance for a younger generation, which did not grow up living under the shadow of the Soviet Union," says Ethan Porter, co-director of GW's Institute for Data, Democracy and Politics. "For many young voters, communism is just not an effective boogeyman."We know, because they've embraced communism.

I have said here several times that this isn’t a takeover. It’s a rebranding of a Democrap party that’s been secretly socialist for over 50 years. But I’m encouraged that the leftwing media seems scared enough of that rebranding to try to explain it away.
Media wants socialism, for sure, but they’re acting like the country as a whole ain’t ready for it. Like when youre on a date and you pull out your dick too early and you get heismanned. But if you waited a little longer, and romanced the chick a little more, you woulda got lucky.

That was the Second Red Scare.
The First Red Scare was in the early 1900s when Anarachists, and their Communist brethren, were rioting, bombing, assassinating, and creating havoc on a regular basis, which in part lead to the creation of the FBI.
So technically we're now in the Third Red Scare, and what we've come to realize is that it's the Reds doing all the scaring.

They want what hard working people have and have public tantrums with posters created and printed by a capitalist. Then take their body odors, tattoos and pierced noses and blue hair to protest people who worked for a living to reap some rewards before death.
The dead nephew-in-law was like this as well as an atheist. The dinner at my MIL's where we met him he was whining about the above, said he thought the protest against Wall Street was the greatest thing ever and nothing similar (the SIL I love snickered, um summer of '69). Then started whining that people with college degrees should not be managers over him (his dream job of a manager of a call station of Grub Hub came later, his only job we are aware of in shitcago).
My husband, who was sort of high on cough medicine from getting sick on the plane earlier, politely informed him he'd worked hard for everything we have. He's a calm and diplomatic guy who normally would have ignored the eejit spewing at his left.
The little commie flounced to the bathroom. He might have been crying. I almost laughed.

There's still China, but Chinese espionage is widely accepted nowadays. Nobody cares. You are racist if you accuse someone of being a Chinese spy.
Besides, not all US communists are obviously tied to China; however, if there ever is a glasnost in China and their archives open, who knows what we will find. Maybe they finance the majority of US protest movements in some indirect manner. Unlike during the Soviet Union, people don't talk about it, though.

Communism: a theory or system of social organization in which all property is owned by the community and each person contributes and receives according to their ability and needs.
In each, there is an over riding Oligarchy, or Party, which decides who gets access to resources.
So, except of a bit of paper of who owns but does not control a company, what is the difference?

Where you wait months or years for a MRI and/or cancer surgery.
Yeah, I want that.
Due to our wicked capitalistic society we have more MRI's in one state in the USA than all of Canada, who has 420. Which is part of the delay but not all of it.
I got a sinus infection or plague on the plane to Scotland once. After climbing the cobblestone Royal Mile, dragging my suitcase after the train, the hotel let the almost dead woman and family check in early (pre-covid).
I was told NOT to go to the ED (I guess you have to bleed for that). Given a private MD I saw the next day and paid out of pocket ($600) for a complete workup and later a z-pack (which you rarely see now). I discovered at the pharmacy you can buy low dose codeine legally (or could), which was nice for me as I hate head pain plus snot. I lay dying for most of one day and recovered.
The next day we went to Stirling. I was staggering along Spittal Street and took a photo of the sign because I was doing a lot of that. Son was irritated with his slow walking corpse mom until HE got walking pneumonia on the plane back to FL.
This was my only experience with the NHS.

While most using it from Central and South America will attempt to use it to stay in the country, China will purposefully have the family return (Russia does this too btw but had a bunch get caught back in 2010). Anyway, China will groom the US citizen from childhood and that individual returns to the US in their 20's to secure positions in those industries the China requires information. They've been known to even have some enter the US military upon return to the US.

They are also required to act like Senator Joe McCarthy controlled the House Un-American Activities Committee which predated him by at least a decade, and was mostly run by Democrats, except for 2 years of its existence.
And the HUAC-associated "black list" was really bad despite writers and directors getting work through cut-outs, and was main a reaction to commies in Hollywood trying to prevent patriots from getting jobs in the industry.
You must mix up ALL THOSE THINGS!!
Otherwise, something looks bad for Democrats.

The Premise
Left: Republicans are saying that water is wet, therefore they are bad people and you must now vote for us and do everything we say.
The Evidence
Left: See! See! Here's proof that Republicans have said water is wet, they are still saying that water is wet, therefore you must now vote for us and do everything we say.

I don't care about oil prices. Oil prices were not the reason for the conflict.
I care about ending the capacity of the mullahs to project force outside their borders, preferably inside as well. According to their media the only lesson they have learned is that they need to have nukes in order to be untouchable.

Gulags? That's socialism.
Public execution of dissidents? That's socialism.
Forced abortions? That's socialism.
Bread lines, shortages, starvation? That's socialism.
What, then, is "commnism"?
Communism is living day-to-day wearing burlap togas on a collective farm with a bunch of glassy0eyed hippies, where there is n money, n familyunit, no personal possessions, no cvilization, no individuality, the words "I" and "me" banished from the language. That's communism.
Socialism is the stage we must g through to get to communism. Socialism is the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the Khmer Rouge, Zimbabwe's forced confiscation of all personal possessions, North Korea, Fidel Castro, mass graves and concentration camps. That's socialism.
Good ol' mild-mannered, not really that bad, socialism.

The thinking by the Judge was that Julius would never allow his wife to be executed, if either had cooperated they could have had their death sentence commuted.
They had kids, none of their friends or family would take them during the incarceration trial period, so they were shuffled off to “social services”.
Maybe they were bluffing, but da Judge called their bluff, and off to ole Sparky they went at Sing Sing.
Judge Kaufman pointed out the damage they did was incalculable. The Korean War was attributed to the fact of atomic espionage on their part, among other things.
I can understand why communism in the 1920s or 1930s gained traction, but there is really no excuse after that. They tied themselves into pretzels after the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact.

We got involved because Israel said "do something or we will", and when we started negotiating Iran told us to screw off because they had just about refined Uranium and they figured they could hold out long enough to pop some nukes.
Everything since then has been arm bending to get them to comply. This is not Ukraine where the EU is feeding funds and weapons to the Ukes to bleed Russia white, Iranians don't have much of a backdoor for supplies and only the Chinese are willing and they don't do resupply on credit.

Claim: Michelle Obama Has Blocked Cheryl Hines From Appearing on Larry David's New Show, Because She's RFKJr.'s Wife
Michelle Obama 'Bans' Cheryl Hines From Appearing in New Larry David HBO Show Over MAGA Links -- Ex-First Lady 'Can Be A B**** on Wheels' Michelle Obama has reportedly banned Cheryl Hines from appearing in a new HBO show she is executive producing over her MAGA links.Obama himself will appear in this mock "historical" series which will, undoubtedly, regurgitate all of the left's invectives about America. Like he just did.
Michelle Obama has banned Cheryl Hines from appearing in a new HBO series honouring America's 250th birthday, according to new claims, RadarOnline.com can reveal. The former First Lady, 62, is an executive producer on Larry David's new seven-episode sketch show, Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness: An Almost History of America, and reportedly used her influence to stop Hines from featuring.
Michelle Obama does not want Hines anywhere near her show, according to reports. Hines, 60, starred alongside David, 78, in the hit comedy Curb Your Enthusiasm; however, their relationship has become strained in recent years due to her relationship with the nation's Health and Human Services secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. ... And her ties to MAGA have resulted in Hines being omitted from the series, with insiders claiming the prospect of her featuring would make Michelle go "absolutely ballistic."
Former President Barack Obama took aim at the Founding Fathers ahead of America's 250th anniversary, saying they held a "deep flaw" for their ties to slavery despite being "geniuses." "I think sometimes we get confused in thinking that these two stories are separate. They're intertwined, right? Which is why it's possible for me to be a great admirer of George Washington, and also acknowledge he was a slaveholder," said Obama in an interview Sunday with MSNOW. The 44th president's appearance comes as most Americans prepare to celebrate the nation's 250th birthday on Saturday with patriotic events across the country, while Obama is using the milestone to deliver a more cautionary message about the state of American democracy.Bonus: I mentioned Jill Biden's very suspicious book sales yesterday. Now the NY Post writes it up.
"That does not negate [Washington's] greatness, it simply acknowledges that there's a profound deep flaw in these Founding Fathers who were also geniuses and gave us these tools," Obama said. "It's that we're this mixed bag, we've got contradictions. And embody the country's contradictions," he added.
Except that Lauren Cobello specializes in bulk purchases of books to artificially boost their initial sales to get them on the best seller list. This is not an objective expert the media is contacting, but an invested, partisan champion of the system itself. As usual.
Former First Lady Jill Biden's memoir had a brief run atop the New York Times bestseller list before tumbling out of the rankings just weeks later -- fueling online speculation that its lofty debut owed more to bulk book orders than to sustained reader demand. "View from the East Wing," which was published by Simon & Schuster's imprint Gallery Books, debuted at No. 1 on the New York Times Hardcover Nonfiction list on June 21 with a dagger (†) symbol indicating that retailers reported some bulk purchases. By the following week, it had slipped to No. 3, and it has since fallen off the list altogether. The sharp drop has sparked claims on social media that the 299-page book reached the top through orchestrated buying campaigns instead of real consumer demand. Former FiveThirtyEight founder Nate Silver was among the most prominent critics, writing on X that the memoir "debuted at #1 on the NYT due to astroturfed bulk orders" before noting that it was "completely" off the list two weeks later and calling such a rapid decline "very rare." Publishing experts caution that the reality is more nuanced. "I don't think there is anything sinister about it," Lauren Cobello, founder and CEO of Leverage with Media PR, told The Post.
This bitch is just spamming out pro-Jill-Biden spin:
"I think it's a strategy, a smart strategy for how people are engaging their network so that they can get more books in the hands of their readers," she said of bulk buying.
Cobello, whose agency specializes in launching bestselling books, said bulk purchases are a routine feature of modern publishing campaigns -- particularly for politicians, celebrities and high-profile authors embarking on national book tours. ... "It's almost impossible to not have bulk orders" for major political figures and celebrities, Cobello said, noting that bookstores hosting large events often place orders for hundreds of books at a time.
Why even contact such a clear partisan as you supposed "outside expert witness"?
She also pushed back on the suggestion that the memoir's rapid decline necessarily signals failure. "It wasn't a complete flop," Cobello said, pointing to its continued appearance on the USA Today bestseller list after it exited the Times rankings. "She definitely had some bulk orders, but I think they were tied to the events that she had."

Well, how fortunate for you Barack, in that you don't have a deep flaw in an otherwise sterling character. You're all flaw, you bitchy little pissant. Kudos for consistency.

So some interesting history posted at end of Insty ONT this morning.
It seems that many of the small towns in Wyoming (and I guess elsewhere) were just post offices for the temporary camps set up for the rail road workers (often "hackers" who cut trees to make ties, so not just on the main line.) As well as other post offices set up without anyone thinking that the name would become permanent for a town or city.
That is why they often have silly names.
One example was DuBois, legend has it., pronounced doo-boys because it pissed off the politician who named it after himself and would get annoyed when people pronounced his name that way.

Let’s understand how the courts work. They don’t like changing things. They revere precedent.
---
Which as the court insists on reviewing more and more actions of government puts increasingly more government behavior out of the reach of voters, as voters have little if any effect on precedent.
So, we're back to fuck judges--they have disgraced themselves. Because precedent keeps decisions out of the power of the filthy unwashed.
This is elitism. It wouldn't be so bad, if judges weren't trying to make more and more legal precedent so they get this universal review of government behavior.
But, fuck judges.

We've got congressman proposing stuff in response. 1.5 years ago we did not.
Nothing will happen this congress, not with Mitch, Tillis, Cassidy, and Cornyn still around.
But if things go well in November, the next Congress could be much more amenable to trying something.
I have this running theory that there are five senators taking all the flack for 10-20 others in not getting things done. All five are out (except Murkowski) at the end of this Congress. Suddenly, next congress, that cover is gone. More will have to volunteer to be scapegoats (possible) while the rest of the GOP Senate will be less amenable to not getting things done. The other 10-20 are cowards, hence the cover. And there are those in that 10-20 (like Ernst) who are going, too.

Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Barrett do vote on principle; their vote was entirely predictable to anyone familiar with how the courts work. It’s just that their principle is wrong, reflecting the old and established view of the 14th Amendment that we are currently challenging with new scholarship.

He didn't fire her, but told her when her time was up she wasn't getting a recommendation. You will see this in the media as being debunked because they are attacking the assertion that she was fired. She wasn't fired, but she was told off and is a filthy scum.

Note, in English Feudal society, a Peasant owed 1 day a week worth of labor, to his Lord... as 1 day was God's, that meant 1/6 of his labor either in work, or Money.
So, 16.66%. Let's see... 12.4% Social Security... close.
25%- 30% combined state, local, Fed, income tax.
Property tax? ie paying the lord to live on hour land... another 1% or so
Sales Tax? oh... 9% here. then of course Gas Tax.
Sounds like we are a hell of a lot WORSE off then Peasants were.

Because birthright citizenship was taken as a given until recently. I don't think it was discussed in any textbook other than as being axiomatic. It's one of those things like "The New Deal ended the Great Depression" that you were just told is true.
Roberts (and Barrett) seem to think that they need to preserve institutional credibility, as if they can control anything so nebulous. And doubtless Roberts knew that Thomas would wheel out one of his history lesson specials in a dissent. So he went looking for support for what he "knew" was already there. That he had to fall back on feudalism is actually kind of funny. Apparently nothing else less on-the-nose on our 250th birthday would work at all.

So what if the court is acting like the superlegislature the Federalist Papers said would invalidate their reason for being--we're one seat away from reversing all this.... it the Democrats don't win, stack the courts, doing laps with this verdict.
I sorta get where he's coming from. The battle is not completely lost. I just can't agree that the SCOTUS having "seats" and "votes" and invalidating themselves--by the admission in this very opinion piece--it's a recoverable situation.
Because you've accepted the rogue behavior of a branch that continually expands its area of review. And seems in no hurry to reign the overreach of their profession in, just "Hey, guys, knock off the restraining order from one regional judge stuff!"
I never was thinking this is the end. It's a part--perhaps a shadow of the end--but he's trying to talk me out of a funk that I'm not in, and normalizing court expansion (which is happening anyway).

Net out-migration for the first time in decades last year.
The SCOTUS case was a loss, there are ways around it, there's more political will now than before to deal with it, but the overall effort now is towards remigration. At least 2.5 more years of this, and if the cleanup in elections and immigration is as significant as possible, the win from 2024 can look like small beans by 2028.

Just as one could unfortunately be born into slavery.
It also follows, one could be born into a slaveholding family. With me so far?
Now what? You modern sophisticated people say “I would have freed my slaves”
Maybe. Highly doubtful. The first problem, there wasn’t anyplace for them to go. Let’s say you owned 75 slaves on your plantation.
They cost the equivalent of about $50,000 or more per. Democrats would be the last on the planet to do something like that.
Plus, inheritance and bankruptcy law was quite different back then. As the heir to an Estate, you were on the hook for debts. That is not the case today.
They had Debtor’s Prisons. Totally awful. If you think modern or historical Democrats would go to prison and forfeit hundreds of thousands of dollars in “assets” you’re smoking your socks.

And Trump is cracking down so much on even legal immigration that birthright citizenship is going to be even less of an issue over time.

Nope, three Supreme Court decisions show how dangerous this becomes.
1. Birth tourist to the US, kid is a citizen.
2. Dual Citizenship Legal by Supreme Court Fiat.
3. All Citizens right to vote, and vote by mail.
So, ChiCom comes here on a Visa and has a kid, goes back to China.
18 years later, Kid, never having lived in the US is still a Dual Citizen with the right to vote. Registers ONLINE because there is no verification process... then changes the address to where they want the ballot sent, in China.
Hell, due to international mail... it does not even look like the Ballot needs to be postmarked by the USPS by election day, but could be done by a foreign post office, and we'd still have to count it due to current law.
Even without other cheating, this takes the control of our elections OUT of the hands of Native Cits.

From above, "Former President Barack Obama took aim at the Founding Fathers ahead of America's 250th anniversary, saying they held a "deep flaw" for their ties to slavery despite being "geniuses."
No surprise. At the minimum, see Philly & the signing of the Declaration of Independence. (In January, the National Park Service removed a prominent slavery exhibit from the President’s House site in Philadelphia. The removal was part of the Trump administration's "Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History" initiative. The city of Philadelphia sued to restore the displays, but a federal appeals court ruled that the administration has the authority to alter the site.) Also, the Smithsonian stirs the pot a lot.
Include a huge offering of the worse programming ever for the 4th of July holiday in Philadelphia and you know exactly how 'some' think and feel.

Clarified the issue and made it a litmus test for new Scotus appointees from the GOP. Case was really a 5-4 decision as Kavanaugh's concurrence for the sixth vote was that Trump did not have that power but Congress could. Most of the bloviating that the court majority did was in fact obiter dicta not necessary to judge whether Trump had the constitutional power. And that is where Roberts and ACB being preening social virtue signalling twats went too far. Like Justice Taney trying to resolve a question forever, Roberts and co joined with the deraged leftist witch coven on the court to misread constitutional history and even British law.

Another Mamdani-Backed Muslim Wins Democrat Primary for State Senator; Claims That "Racism, Capitalism, White Supremacy, and Islamophobia" "Manifested" in 9/11
She excuses terrorists because they come from "colonized lands" and uses Ilhan Omar's formulation that Muslims shouldn't have to apologize for something "a couple of people did" and goes further: she demands apologies for "genocide and slavery" plus reparations before she'll consider offering her own apologies. She's also clearly brain-damaged, as she cannot speak three words without saying "like," "um," or "you know." By the way, Muslims are the most enslaving race in history and are still enslaving people.Muslim Mamdani-backed socialist primary winner suggested America deserved 9/11 in unearthed videoShe won the very blue district she was running in, which means she's running essentially unopposed in November.
Aber Kawas, the daughter of a deported Jordanian national, won the Democratic primary for a deeply blue Queens district Another radical far-left candidate backed by socialist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is under fire after a resurfaced social media clip shows her appearing to suggest that America deserved the September 11, 2001, terror attacks. Aber Kawas is the Muslim daughter of illegal aliens who is now the Democratic nominee for the New York State Senate District 12. Like Mamdani, Kawas is a socialist.
"The system of capitalism and racism and White supremacy... and Islamophobia have all been used to colonize lands, to take resources from other people and so this is a long trajectory, and we're just seeing the manifestations of that continuation with 9/11," she said in a 2017 episode of the Asian American Writers' Association podcast titled "Islamophobia beyond 9/11 with Aber Kawas." She then downplayed the horrific attack.
"The idea we have to apologize for a terror attack that a couple of people did and then there is no apology or reparations for genocides and for slavery... is something I find reprehensible," she said.
... She has also reportedly been affiliated with the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), which has previously been designated as a terrorist organization in some U.S. states and other countries. Her father, Jordanian national Abdelkareem Kawas, came to the United States on a tourist visa in 1989 and never left, according to the New York Post. He was later deported after a conviction for real estate fraud and a prison stint. Kawas made this story central to her campaign and portrayed it on the trail as cruel persecution by immigration authorities of her father.
New York City just elected Aber Kwas to their State Senate.

@JoshEakle Setting aside half the misinformation in this post, the Amish are also clearly a community that refuses to assimilate to American society. And yet no one on the right seems to care. Curious.
Tucker Carlson continues feting Russia government operatives as "wise men," including the Russian "Merchant of Death" convicted of selling arms to terrorists (who was let out of prison in exchange for WNBA pothead Briney Griner). Tuq'r is plainly making common cause with communists and Islamists to fight the real enemy, Jewish Capitalism, as Hitler always called it. Dana Loesch writes:
Bonchie
@bonchieredstate "The Amish? The people who have been in America since its founding, produce virtually no crime, consume almost no welfare, and don't demand the country be changed for them?"
Dana Loesch
@DLoesch Tucker thinks he's smart enough to use Islamism as a way to usher in socialism (red/green) but in reality, Islamists are using him as a stooge to spread Islamism.

I have quoted here and other places that this has been known since 1999 when a scholar in the UK said basically this at a joint kumbaya coexist panel (paraphrased because I do not feel like looking for it):
Your country will collapse to islam BECAUSE your own laws of democrazy protect us.
They knew this. They knew people are bleeding hearts. They knew then they could control voting blocs with illegal immigration and no go zones for police.
They are succeeding hiding behind our laws of protection due to their religion and color of their skin.

I did ask the clerk if she was part of a Mennonite community because I was interested in what it was like but she turned red and got quiet so she obviously didn't want to talk so I just paid and ate my food.
Later I did some research and there had been a Mennonite community in that area for some time.

"As many of you may know, I fully support the LGBTQIA+ community. But we must also ensure that our female athletes are protected and respected." - MELANIA, #1 NYT Bestseller, (p. 156)
The U.S. Supreme Court has now legally confirmed this opinion:
"Under Title IX and the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, may schools maintain women's and girls' sports for biological females?... The answer is yes."
America, we can support the rights of the LGBTQIA+ community and also protect opportunities for female athletes. Respect everyone and keep girls' sports fair.

As I've been saying, none of these new out-and-proud commies are any different than the old crusty secret commies.
The only difference is the newer generation's open hostility to America and Israel. Gianaris tried to straddle the fence on Israel-Palestine, trying to pander to both sides. But anyone who tries to straddle the fence between Israel and pure evil is really a supporter of evil.
The new generation is openly demonic.

Irrelevant if they are opposed or not. In inner city districts the D partisanship % is so high already that the D ballot line could literally say "Satan the Eater of Damned Souls" and the nominee would easily win 2/3 of the vote.

Well they are of the ummah, and doubtless very high info about which of their brethren to support. Most of the MI isn't Muslim though, or even Arab. I don't think the Muslims make up 5% of the population there.

I would hazard to guess that most inner city districts are so corrupt that it doesn't matter if they are unopposed or not.
Meaning there is no popular representation for any election, only what the corrupt election and party structure deems to have occurred -- up to and including disallowing any unapproved candidate from even being on the ballot.
So of course we get to insult and yell at all the people there for not voting because of course they don't. It makes us feel virtuous, and if the commenters here can feel virtuous then, well, there is no reason to search for a solution, is there.

Why? Muslims are asocial and generally unlikeable. You seem to assume that they just grow at some steady rate without any kind of response whatsoever. One thing they do have in common with the Amish is their insane need to micromanage community life. Why do they both do this? It is not a sign of strength. It is a sign of weakness. they both know their members would leave for ANYTHING other than what they have now if they had the chance.

Apparently it's less than 3% in MI, but my point isn't that this is a good thing, it's that their power is greatly overstated. They have 'power' only because asshole politicians see them as a voting bloc. And as you note, they only ahve to get to 5-10% of the population before people get sick of them and Uwe Boll suddenly is viewed as a cinematic genius because he makes movies about shooting them.

Some responses -
In their parents' home countries, these families belonged to the upper echelons of society. They held immense social capital, prestige, and institutional power. When they move to the U.S., that hyper-elite status does not always translate. Regardless of their wealth, they are often grouped into broad American racial or ethnic minority categories. For a first-generation child, growing up with the awareness that their family is royalty back home, but viewing themselves as just another minority group in America, can breed deep resentment toward the American social hierarchy.
What might look like visceral "hate" is often the adoption of high-level academic cynicism. They are trained to dissect the flaws of Western capitalism and American foreign policy, which manifests as a vocal, hyper-critical stance against the very country they live in.
Their wealth gives them the luxury of global mobility, but their professional networks, corporate ties, and asset structures are deeply embedded in Western institutions. Returning to a developing nation—even one where their

While they may visit on vacations, these children are culturally American. They speak with American accents, think through a Western lens, and lack the hyper-localized cultural nuances required to navigate the business or political landscapes of their parents' native countries.
If they return to "fix" things, they are often viewed by the locals as arrogant, entitled American outsiders trying to dictate terms. They don't have the grassroots credibility to enact change.
And so "ours" too - the Barack Obamas, AOCs, Ro Khannas and so many others, like as Nan, Bernie, and Liz, who help create an arrogant, self-absorbed and potentially violent political landscape.

The Amish aren't dirt poor.,..they are quite wealthy, and if they owe you money they will pay timely, to the penny and in cash. They are more Libertarian than most self-proclaimed Libertarians. AND, Amish in PA know what Amish in Ohio, and many other communities are facing at any given time. They are not isolated by any fashion. They hold a lot of conservative values, are pacifists, and for the most part reflect a community that doesn't want government intervention.

And that goes over really well with 'infidels', so much so the notorious permissive Scandinavians try to ban them.
The first and most obvious solution to the problem of Islam is simply to broadcast their message more adequately. The video clips posted above are good. Websites that directly quote hadith and sunnah are very helpful as well.
The idea that Islam just naturally takes over places is nonsense. Even in full military and political control it took them centuries to convert Egypt and even Nubia (now the hellhole known as Sudan). The stage where Muslims become more visible and impossible to ignore is actually a good one, if you want people to confront them.

The TV shows are fake, and rumpispringa is basically the Amish version of Muslim rape gangs, just without the violence. An Amish person can "sow their wild oats" before a certain point. But that isn't really an out. It's akin to a Muslim not committing rape as long as it's one of those short-skirted non-Muslim women.
The social pressures for Amish to stay Amish are very strong. It's entirely akin to living in a Muslim neighborhood, with the difference that I don't think the Amish throw acid on your face. But ostracism keeps almost anyone from leaving. If you'd prefer I compare the Amish to Scientology, that would work too.

Interestingly, I had a colleague who rose to become my boss' boss. He came from Ghana, where his family was LITERAL royalty; he was the hereditary king of a tribal nation there ... and you never met anyone who understood and appreciated the American Way more. He acted as a sort of volunteer consul for Ghanaians in our city, helping them learn our exotic ways. And he saved my career on more than one occasion by refusing to entertain bitchy accusations of racism by spoiled "African Americans."

Duh. Like people living in an Amish community aren't going to think that it's a good idea?
They're given the opportunity to live with the "English" and they can choose whether or not to return.
I heard about rumpispringa long before the TV show, and watched a little bit of the show just to see some of the details.
You're really stuck on making the Amish the equivalent to the Muzzies, aren't you?
Yeah, it's JUST like rape gangs!

Setting aside half the misinformation in this post, the Amish are also clearly a community that refuses to assimilate to American society.
And yet no one on the right seems to care. Curious.
I can't quote it exactly so I'll paraphrase: this falls under how discourse with the Left is impossible because they pretend not to understand things. It's just a tactic. I despise them for it.

And that the Amish counsel him after it's over to come back to the group, that's just like Islam preferring Islam. You know because of all the Amish that decided to continue being Amish, are one-sided on whether or not to be Amish.

Last I saw, replacing McConnell would be with a special election. The state constitution had said the governor would pick from a list of names provided by the Republican Party. The governor said, nah... it's unconstitutional or something. So the state legislature passed a bill to make replacing a member of Congress who dies, or is ejected, done by a special election.

Yes. Eight years from the 1st localized bombing to the 2nd, both centered on the NY - DC corridor, aka the Northeast Megalopolis.
Each caused death and destruction. First some, the second massive but how real change and much broader control of the nation be effected without bringing down the infrastructure and having a huge internal war?
Take over NYC, one of the financial capitals of the world. (The other is London and it, too, is falling.) And take the seat of U.S. government, and epicenter of American political power and international diplomacy.
More of an Art of War "invasion" vs. a contemporary military invasion. And that's exactly what's been going on for decades. But thanks to Trump, and thanks to the possibility of a Trump-like successor, there's no option but to become visible.

Supreme Court Upholds Ban on Boys in Girls Sports
SO CLOSE TO PRIDE MONTH?!!? SO CLOSE TO PRIDE MONTH?!!!
The holding is 6-3, but the three liberals joined with parts of it so parts of it are actually unanimous. Coney-Barrett and Roberts joined the conservatives in this one because this case is about protecting Muh Feminism. Remember, even super-feminist JK Rowling is on the right side of this issue. Note the decision is about state bans on men in girls' sports. It's not about Trump's executive order to deny funds to states that allow men to beat up girls in sports. And it doesn't ban men from girls' sports, just upholds states' rights to ban men from girls' sports.Fox News
@FoxNews
BREAKING: The Supreme Court just handed states a major victory in one of the country's most closely watched culture battles: protecting girls' and women's sports. In a 6-3 ruling along ideological lines, the court upheld laws in Idaho and West Virginia banning transgender students from competing in women's and girls' school sports. Justice Brett Kavanaugh writing in his opinion, "The term 'sex' in Title IX... cannot plausibly be interpreted to refer to anything other than biological sex... The Court concludes that separate sports teams for biological males and biological females are reasonable given the inherent physical differences between the sexes."
What does this virtue signaling have to do with the actual issue here? Their words -- dicta, it's called, judicial ramblings with no actual precedential power -- will be used by liberal courts to justify the overturning of restrictions on transgenders in bathrooms and the like, claiming that this decision stands for the proposition that transgenders must not be "ostracized or vilified."
The Supreme Court upheld state-level bans on transgender competitors playing girls' sports in Idaho and West Virginia in a landmark decision with major implications for more than half the country where similar policies are in place. In a 6-3 opinion, in which the liberal justices concurred and dissented in part, the high court determined that neither state had violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment by enacting the bans. But the majority opinion also underscored the importance of treating transgender athletes with respect. "Most of the biological female and transgender student-athletes who are involved in transgender sports disputes around the country are teenagers or in their early twenties," Republican appointed Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote in the majority opinion.
"Those student athletes want to play sports. Their desire to compete warrants respect. No student-athlete on either side of the issue, whether a biological female or transgender, deserves to be ostracized or vilified."
Via Ed Morrissey: the key part of the decision.
Two transgender athletes waged similar challenges against the bans, arguing that they flouted equal protection rights under the 14th Amendment and statutory law prohibiting discrimination. ...
The decision in the cases, Little v. Hecox and West Virginia v. B. P. J., marks the first time the Supreme Court has dealt with the fraught culture war issue of transgender competition in girls' sports.
In assessing the reasonableness of the regulations, we also must recognize the distinctiveness of competitive sports--and the safety and competitive fairness issues that can arise when females are forced to compete against males. With respect to safety, allowing biological males to play on women's and girls' sports teams can put women and girls at significant risk of injuries. The safety risks are particularly severe in contact sports. And as to competitive fairness, allowing biological males to play on women's and girls' sports teams can put female athletes at a serious disadvantage. That is because sports are generally zero sum. Allowing a biological male athlete to compete on a girls' team necessarily displaces or disadvantages a female athlete--replacing her on the roster, knocking her out of the starting lineup, reducing her playing time, depriving her of a medal, and the like. That hard reality of sports cannot be ignored or swept under the rug. On the contrary, that reality must and does inform interpretation of the term "reasonable" in the Javits Amendment. Whether biological males may participate on women's and girls' sports teams may be a debated policy question. But the legal question for Title IX purposes is whether West Virginia may limit women's and girls' sports teams to biological females. As a matter of text and history, West Virginia may do so.Apparently the three liberals (excluding Coney-Barrett and Roberts) agreed that Title IX plainly speaks of "sex" and not "gender expression" so Title IX cannot be claimed to grant rights to men to beat up girls in sports. But they did find that the Equal Protection Clause just might!

The illegal inflow is done and has been for more than a year.
Now, it's just the deportation machine (biggest in history before OBBB reinforcements amounting to $150 billion plus the new $70 billion from the recent shutdown win), kicking out everyone here and then building more walls around legal immigration.
Every visa class is down double digits from students to H1-Bs. Trump has travel bans in place for more than 30 countries already and limitations on another 70.
Hawaii v Trump asserted that the president has full authority over immigration. And Trump has been using that authority since January of last year. And the court system has backed him up on everything except the birthright citizenship case.

Birth Certs are given by the Hospital, and then immediately put into a State or County data base, who then has the duty to maintain those records.
And beyond a cursory series of questions about maiden names and such, there is no check at all about getting a birth cert.... had to do it for Mom when she was 80 to get Real ID.

They changed that in Tranny Wave #2.
The camel's nose used to say "Sex is different from gender. Male and female are sexes. Man and woman are genders."
So there could be "transwomen" but no "transfemales". You can't change your sex.
Wave #1 was arguably more observant of biology. But still argued that you can have your own personal social construction with millennia of vetting. That's where the dumb part came in.

The core of progressive ideology is that they are god. There is no GOD to them. To them your rights do not come from God, they come from government. So the government can grant, take away, or change them. Ultimately, they deny God every chance they get, because they deny reality. They want to live in a world of their own creation - not God's creation. They are attempting to erect a fantasy construct. Their attempts to control everything, including others who do not agree with them is ultimately not just futile, but also destructively dangerous. It is a wildly neurotic dysfunction (to psychologize it). To use classical terms, they are demonically oppressed, at least.

It’s mumbo-jumbo quackery. It used to be quite difficult to be admitted to most if not all colleges and universities. Merely having the scratch was not enough.
You’ll get accused of being “anti intellectual “ but this is a false choice. They are largely imposters, without particular aptitude or experience or demonstrated competence in a given field.
Meritocracy is hated with the passion of a thousand burning suns. Ultimately installing incompetent, unqualified individuals into leadership roles or positions of great responsibility is kind of a kink, consequently.
I did not have this on my radar growing up. I watched with disbelief in some areas of academia, but was naive in the extreme. “Well there’s no way these nutbars will have anything to do in the hard sciences, mathematics, engineering, chemistry, etc. They’d never in a million years allow that sort of nonsense.”

Mobs killing local warlords has its uses.

Iran's GDP has collapsed in half in the last 4 months. It can't import anything anymore even with the MOU because no one wants to port at Bandar Abbas because the IRGC keeps firing on people and has actually stolen the goods from 3 vessels in the last couple of months.

Considering how many people have their phones surgically attached to their irises nowadays, it was amazing (even magical) to consider how many people, children even, bought her books. To read!

Trump's ability to kill entire visa classes is limited. Certain classes are statutorially outlined and the administration is under the obligation to issue in certain cases (spousal visas, for instance).
Still, his administration is limiting as much as possible. 50% as many green cards issued in the last fiscal year than the previous year under Biden.

Oh yeah. This is the base premise lie of all time -- that you are assigned a sex a birth. Its not like its a diagnosis. Its a recognition of a pre existing fact. You have a cock and balls, or a cooter. Your eyes a blue or brown. Your hair blonde. Those things weren't assigned at birth by your doctor or your parents. Those things, exist, in fact, just like your genitalia. Its not just a name like Bob or Mindy, Queef. FFS.

The biggest disconnect is: It's not assigned.
Your DNA is your build instructions. There is no you without your DNA. Sex is part of your build instructions.
Anything else is colloquial-ludditism.
It's like Dawkins theory of "memes", he said something like "as a gene leaps from body to body, a meme jumps from brain to brain".
It was one of the most incompetent phrasings I've seen. There IS NO "body" to leap to before the combination of DNA makes it.
Yes, credentialed scientist (Zoology) can make luddite-ish models.

I've watched a LOT of older kids comedy shows, mainly because they didn't piss me off. While they were always big on girlllll power, I don't recall storylines where girls had to play on boys teams.
There were plots where the boys had teams and the girls didn't but not plots where a girl had to play on a guys team. That was always an adult comedy plot....

That's why I said yesterday, the Court is free to disgrace itself and its "profession".
I think Dred Scott was worse, actually. Taney emptied the whole outhouse for that one. And created a court-amplifying "substantive due process" to boot!
It used to be, as Judge Bork explained, that the people had a role in "due process", it meant decided by whatever process these things are decided.
Then the court decided that it has to have a cut in everything. So "substantive due process" is that almost everything has to be reviewed by a court, using lawyer logic and judge precedent, which the People have remote influence on.

I concur, but there is grant money going out there so that diplomaed academics can peer review shit that bootstraps their concepts into "Science".
Remember the whole "skin-suit wearing" thing.
And then they'll use their leverage in whatever institutions they get into to crowd out the true Scientific understanding of sex.
There are colloquial "realities" that crowd out rigorous understanding. For example, I cited Dawkins "meme theory" above. Most people think a "meme" is a picture with words, and very few know that it was a quasi-sciency notion that Dawkins shat out.

Ro Khanna Promises to Fight the Oligarchs, Tax the Rich, and Imprison "the Epstein Class" While Driving a $190,000 Range Rover, Owning Family Golf Courses, and Taking Elevators In His Mansion
If you've somehow missed this goblinoid, Ro Khanna is running for president. He first attempted to cast himself as a "reasonable" Democrat who believed in the American dream and thought we should transcend racial and gender differences, not dwell on them.
That didn't sell. So Ro Khanna 2.0 joined with Thomas Massie in fighting "the Epstein class," doubling down on identity politics, and dropping his support of business to crusade as a full-bore communist class warrior. But don't notice his immense wealth, which he selfishly hoards for himself and attempts various tax schemes to protect from the IRS.Andrew KerrHis two kids, both younger than 10, own three golf courses? That totally doesn't sound like a tax scam at all!
@AndrewKerrNC
NEW: @FreeBeacon
has the receipts on Ro Khanna's obscene, oligarchic wealth: --his 2 kids (under 10yrs old) own 3 private golf courses in Ohio (not kidding) --his wife drives a $190,000 luxury Range Rover --his house has a 4-story indoor elevator
Steve GuestThe Free Beacon:
@SteveGuest Must read exposé: "How Progressive Class Warrior Ro Khanna Lives Like the Oligarchs He 'Fights,' With In-Home Elevator, $190K Range Rover, and Family-Owned Golf Courses." "Rep. Ro Khanna (D., Calif.) has emerged as a potential contender for the Democratic presidential nomination while denouncing the ultra-rich who "hoard wealth and engage in financial speculation." But the progressive, Silicon Valley congressman and his family live a life of staggering luxury, fueled by dynastic wealth they did not earn and protected by the same thicket of trusts, anonymous corporations, and foundations that Khanna condemns. Khanna lives in a $6 million, 8,000-square-foot luxury home with a four-story elevator and so much premium marble that even the two laundry rooms have marble counters. The Northwest Washington, D.C., home is now for sale, as the Khanna family prepares to move to an even larger, more expensive house a few miles away in the Northern Virginia suburbs. Khanna's two children, who are minors, have large ownership shares in three private golf clubs, a significant stake in a $65 billion wealth management firm, and investments in hedge funds that focus on distressed debt, of which Khanna has been critical. Khanna's wife drives a $190,000 Range Rover she was so displeased with that she sued the dealer."
Oh, I thought he was some kind of tech mogul who at least earned his money, which would explain his previous support of tech moguls who earn fortunes. But nope, he just married the rich girl and inherited her father's money. He is, as Hercule Poirot might say, a cold-hearted adventurer who seduced his way into a fortune.
'Ro' Me the Money! How Progressive Class Warrior Ro Khanna Lives Like the Oligarchs He 'Fights,' With In-Home Elevator, $190K Range Rover, and Family-Owned Golf Courses.
Khanna's ultra-wealthy family depends on the same kind of secretive financial accounting and unearned wealth that he criticizes on the stump
Andrew Kerr
June 30, 2026
Rep. Ro Khanna (D., Calif.) has emerged as a potential contender for the Democratic presidential nomination while denouncing the ultra-rich who "hoard wealth and engage in financial speculation." But the progressive, Silicon Valley congressman and his family live a life of staggering luxury, fueled by dynastic wealth they did not earn and protected by the same thicket of trusts, anonymous corporations, and foundations that Khanna condemns. Khanna lives in a $6 million, 8,000-square-foot luxury home with a four-story elevator and so much premium marble that even the two laundry rooms have marble counters. The Northwest Washington, D.C., home is now for sale, as the Khanna family prepares to move to an even larger, more expensive house a few miles away in the Northern Virginia suburbs. Khanna's two children, who are minors, have large ownership shares in three private golf clubs, a significant stake in a $65 billion wealth management firm, and investments in hedge funds that focus on distressed debt, of which Khanna has been critical. Khanna's wife drives a $190,000 Range Rover she was so displeased with that she sued the dealer. A Washington Free Beacon investigation into Khanna's finances finds that the progressive truthteller's lifestyle is funded by his wife, Ritu Ahuja Khanna, an heiress to her father's Cleveland auto parts fortune.
An analysis of Khanna's financial disclosures reveals his gilded life is enriched by the same sort of investment vehicles that Khanna has said he has a "moral" duty to oppose and that Khanna's family is a beneficiary of the "New Gilded Age" he condemns. Khanna's family wealth comes from his father in law, Monte Ahuja, an Indian-born, Cleveland auto parts magnate turned investor and philanthropist. Like many of the global ultra-rich with generational wealth, Ahuja has set up various trusts and other financial models to benefit his children and grandchildren. These complex financial structures are deliberately opaque, but Khanna, as a member of Congress, is legally required to disclose his family's financial affairs to the public. This visibility, however, has been somewhat obscured by Khanna's decision to file his financial disclosures in the old analog format, effectively rendering it immune to a thorough examination without the use of sophisticated data analysis tools. In 2024, Khanna's financial disclosures clocked in at 333 pages of non-text-searchable tables, listing over 3,000 individual assets owned by him, his wife, and his children, with each asset having ticked one of 13 available boxes corresponding to an asset valuation range. Put together, those assets are worth anywhere from $103 million to more than $340 million, according to a Free Beacon review. It's possible that the net worth of Khanna's nuclear family could far exceed $340 million. He reported a total of 10 assets held by his wife and two children--including the stakes they hold in three golf clubs--as simply being worth more than $1 million with no disclosed ceiling. For his two young children, Khanna reported in 2024 they own between $26 million and more than $73 million in irrevocable trusts, a wealth transfer vehicle that could shield them from future inheritance taxes. Khanna's wife purchased the couple's current Washington, D.C., home through one of her trusts in 2020 for $3.15 million, real estate records show. The house, which is located in an enclave of newly constructed luxury homes in Northwest D.C., is less than a mile from a private school for young children, which counted Khanna's wife as a member of its parents association through 2023.

I find it amusing that the people that want to legalize paying a 17 year old (boy) for a beejer also use this phrase "The Epstein Class" as if to refer to others
The Epstein documents show a bunch of celebs, academics and leftwing pols associating with Epstein in various ways...but they don't mean these people - a couple of these academics faced minor consequences and the left's argument was this was a violation of those "Epstein Class" member's rights to free association and speech...

The other "tell" that he's deliberately circumventing the letter and spirit of the law is that he's submitting them as "analog" format. In other words, some poor schmuck is being paid minimum wage (or less) to type everything up on an IBM Selectric. Those are then being submitted in physical form and then some other poor schmuck turns them into non-OCR PDFs (images) for digital archiving.
Though there are some wonderful tools that can turn images like that into a fully readable document now, thanks in part to AI.

Nevermind that Trump was disgusted by him and kicked him out when he found out what he did, and that many lefty pols and celebs never repudiated their association with Epstein, even after his conviction, the phrase "The Epstein Class" is used to refer solely to Trump.

RR is British too -- or at least as British as Rollie (owned by BMW) or Bentley (owned by VW).
Urus is on the same platform as the Q8. Finance bros get the Revuelto or Temerario. The Urus is for the older guys and rich housewives to drive when they need more space than the Revo or Teme. A new Urus performance model is being launched tomorrow. Probably north of $500k.

If you talk with leftwingers they are all onboard with the notion of a 100% tax on anyone that makes more then them.
And it is funny if a wealthier leftist starts talking with a less wealthy one because the former might start with "People that make more then $1M a year should be taxed at 100%" while the poorer one wants it at $100K which would hit the wealthier one...

Trump was wealthy, but that's not why he won.
He won because he said the unsayable and got airtime for the message to get out. The media propped him up because they thought he would destroy the GOP, and the GOP was happy to oblige because there was no one the GOP hated more in 2015 than the base.
He said things people agreed with but no one else in the race (save Cruz in some instances) would come close to saying.
Remember when Scott Walker was going to be the Trump killer? He was going to take his great success in WI and just float to an easy 2nd place in the polls without trying. Building on his likeable charm and boringness combined with policy wins at the state level to appeal to the voters.
And then he went from "hard-nosed union fighter" to "wishy-washy say-nothing but definitely don't mean it on the most important issue of the day, immigration".

A town I lived in had one black family but had a massive influx of Indians.
One of the black family's kids got in trouble for fighting at school and suddenly there was an "anti-racism" group arguing the school was racist and picking on the kid and the group was all Indian women.
Once the issue with the kid faded this new "anti-racism" group changed to arguing the town had to pay for Indian celebrations like Diwali and such hiring the businesses of those Indian women's husbands to provide the decorations/food/etc...

In principle it's awful, but I'm less worried about those people than I am about people like Hasan Piker, who were born here, whisked back to Turkey for all of his formative years, and then came back to join the Destroy America movement.

Trump did not win because of build the wall. That is a highly questionable distillation of what happened in 2016.
Trump won principally because he understands marketing and branding AND how to fight. Better than anyone in politics.
He also had a major gap created by the America Hating Democrats and Lying Republicans (BIRM) and decided to take ownership of every scrap they tried to leave behind.
Trump knew how to speak, how to stand behind his words and most of all how to win. It didn't hurt that he can be quite entertaining when he speaks. Build the wall was part of that but only a part.

He definitely married into it and of course doesn't want these wealth redistribution policies applied to him / his family. But I'm pretty sure he didn't have a direct hand in how anything is structured, and it doesn't sound like much or anything is in his name. The father-in-law made all the money and is deciding how to tax-shield it (and create a dynasty of self-loathing uber-wealth leftists to try to destroy a self-determining society to keep themselves on top; in a fair world, the kids would eat him alive while he still had his faculties; only fair for Dr. Frankenstein to face his creations)

Consultants don't buy up these firms, they get hired to run or advise them by PE firms, who are the buyers. Consultants spread "best practices" and act as a buffer for taking blame for decisions management wants to make. Sometimes best practices are really better, sometimes they're a fad.
Buying a business and destroying it is a losing proposition, but there are incentives to take lots of risk and use lots of debt.

It does okay, some years better than others. But has managed to expand massively because it has massive name recognition and can secure lots of money in loans due to lots and lots of brick and mortar collateral. Ooops. Overextended? Well we'll have to break this up a bit to get out from under - lets do sale and lease back of some of our brick and mortar. We can avoid real estate taxes, but trade for rent but also get an influx of cash now. (Did i not mention i have an interest in the company that is going to do the sale an leaseback arrangement?? Trifles) Oh, oopsy, we are still underwater, well maybe we should sell part of our operations to Hospital Corp of America . . .

Of Course: The Five Liberal Supreme Court Justices (Including Liberals Roberts and Coney-Barrett) Decide the 14th Amendment Can Go Blow, Anyone Born in the US is a US Citizen
The Five Horsemen make a mockery of the law yet again.
That's the full awful left-wing holding. The liberals make two extraordinary claims. First, they claim that the 14th Amendment is based on the ancient British rule of the king being sovereign over anyone born in his lands. But even there they're forced to admit that that rule did not confer full jurisdiction over the person -- and it's silly to claim the one is based on the other anyway, as Thomas points out in his dissent. The other absurd horse they ride is that the Dred Scott decision was bad bad terra-bad and therefore, they seem to believe, they are required to create a fake rule that is 1000% the opposite of that. But that was taken care of -- the 14th Amendment was adopted precisely to repudicate Dred Scott and declare that former slaves born in the US, who also are not subject to any other jurisdiction but the US -- former slaves have no homeland or nation they owe primary allegiance to -- are US citizens. So why even discuss Dred Scott? It was specifically repudiated and has nothing to say about the Amendment adopted specifically to repudiate it. But they spend a huge chunk of their opinion discussing it because their own arguments are weak so they have to set up a straw-man -- if we don't adopt this fake rule and ignore the "subject to the jurisdiction" qualifier of the 14th Amendment, we're essentially re-implementing Dred Scott and that's just terrible, right?And Alito's dissent:
JUSTICE THOMAS, with whom JUSTICE GORSUCH joins,
dissenting. This Court's decision in Dred Scott v. Sandford, 19 How.
393 (1857), would have permanently denied citizenship to
blacks as "a subordinate and inferior class." Id., at 404--
405. After the Civil War, the Reconstruction Congress over-
ruled Dred Scott, first with the Civil Rights Act of 1866,
then with the Citizenship Clause of the Fourteenth Amend-
ment. Both the Civil Rights Act and the Citizenship Clause
guaranteed citizenship to persons born and domiciled in the
United States regardless of their race. Neither guaranteed
citizenship to persons who were not domiciled in the United
States. Blacks were entitled to citizenship because they were
Americans. They had no other homeland, owed no alle-
giance to any foreign power, and were subject to no other
authority. They "fought and bled in the same battles,"
"gained and gloried in the same victories," and were "liable
to be called upon to defend [America] in time of war" along-
side every other citizen. 2 Life and Writings of Frederick
Douglass 256, 266 (P. Foner ed. 1950) (Douglass). The Cit-
izenship Clause thus guaranteed them the "dignity and
glory of American citizenship," so as to ensure that they
would never be treated as second class under the law.
Plessy v. Ferguson, 163 U. S. 537, 555 (1896) (Harlan, J.,
dissenting). The same could not be said for the children of foreign tem-
porary visitors. Foreign temporary visitors were attached
to their home country, lacked similar bonds to this country,
and would not be called upon in time of war. Americans,
consistent with their settler ethos, believed that citizens
were the people who called a place home. Accordingly, dom-
icile--a person's legal home--played a key role in both state
and national citizenship in America. A person was a "citi-
zen" of the state where he had his "domicil." Barber v. Bar-
ber, 21 How. 582, 599 (1859). When foreigners temporarily
visited, their "national character" was unchanged. The Ve-
nus, 8 Cranch 253, 278--279 (1814). Such visitors were
"strangers," not "subjects." Id., at 278. A person born here
but domiciled in a foreign land was therefore considered "as
much a stranger to the country as his father." 1 H. St.
George Tucker, Commentaries on the Laws of Virginia 57
(1836) (Tucker). That is why, when Dred Scott went to court, he argued
that to be a "citizen," "it is only necessary that he should
have acquired a domicil." Brief for Plaintiff in Dred Scott v.
Sandford, D. T. 1855, No. 7, p. 6. (Brief for Dred Scott). Af-
ter this Court held that Scott was not a citizen because he
was black, Republicans in Congress, such as Representa-
tive John Bingham, stated that a person was a citizen if he
was "born and domiciled" in the United States. Cong.
Globe, 35th Cong., 2d Sess., 983 (1859). Scott was a citizen,
in their view, because he was born to Americans, not to
"temporary sojourners." Cong. Globe, 35th Cong., 1st Sess.,
210 (185
had put it, the freedmen sought citizenship "not as aliens
nor as exiles," but as "Americans." 2 Douglass 255 (empha-
sis added). Congress implemented the principle that citizenship fol-
lows birth and domicile in the Civil Rights Act of 1866 and
then in the Citizenship Clause of the Fourteenth Amend-
ment. The Civil Rights Act guaranteed citizenship to per-
sons who were both "born in the United States" and, as rel-
evant here, "not subject to any foreign power." Act of Apr.
9, 1866, 14 Stat. 27. The phrase "not subject to any foreign
power" excluded from citizenship children of foreign tempo-
rary visitors, who were subject to the power of their home
nation. See, e.g., The Pizarro, 2 Wheat. 227, 246 (1817); The
Venus, 8 Cranch, at 278--279. The Citizenship Clause,
which the same Congress passed shortly after the Civil
Rights Act, was understood to have the same meaning. It
guaranteed citizenship to persons who were both "born . . .
in the United States" and "subject to the jurisdiction
thereof." Amdt. 14, §1. A person was subject to the jurisdiction of the govern-
ment of his domicile. "Domicil" was "the foundation of ju-
risdiction over persons." 1 T. Twiss, The Law of Nations
239 (1861) (Twiss). The government of a person's domicile
had broad power over that person, including with respect to
his personal affairs, his conduct abroad, his personal taxes,
and the mutual duties of protection and allegiance. So, as
the Senator who introduced the Citizenship Clause ex-
plained, "the word 'jurisdiction,' as here employed, ought to
be construed so as to imply a full and complete jurisdiction
. . . the same jurisdiction in extent and quality as applies to
every citizen of the United States now." Cong. Globe, 39th
Cong., 1st Sess., 2895 (1866) (statement of Sen. Howard).
After all, Congress "would have no right to make citizens"
of "persons temporarily resident." Id., at 572 (statement of
Sen. Trumbull). The Citizenship Clause was consistently interpreted not
to apply to the children of foreign temporary visitors, who
were by definition not domiciled in the United States. Re-
gardless of administration or party, the Federal Govern-
ment for decades after ratification regularly denied claims
to citizenship by children who were born in the United
States but not domiciled here. When a child was "born" in
the United States to parents "domiciled" abroad, he was
"not, therefore, under the statute and the Constitution a
citizen of the United States by birth." Letter from Sec. of
State T. Bayard to B. Winchester (Nov. 28, 1885), in 2 F.
Wharton, Digest of International Law 399--400 (2d ed.
1887) (Wharton Digest). Scholars agreed: A child "born
within the territory of the United States, of alien parents"
was not a citizen unless his parents were "permanently
domiciled within the United States." W. Robinson, Notes
on Elementary Law 70 (1875). This Court agreed: The Cit-
izenship Clause "exclude[d] from its operation children of
. . . citizens or subjects of foreign States born within the
United States." Slaughter-House Cases, 16 Wall. 36, 73
(1873). And, Congress agreed: The Citizenship Clause did
not extend to a child born here but "subject to any foreign
power." See Enforcement Act of 1870, §18, 16 Stat. 144
(reenacting Act of Apr. 9, 1866, 14 Stat. 27). As Justice
Harlan would write in his dissent in Plessy v. Ferguson, 163
U. S. 537, the Citizenship Clause "gave citizenship to all
born or naturalized in the United States and residing here."
Id., at 563 (emphasis added). The Court offers a different account. American citizen-
ship, the Court says, was based on a medieval English "feu-
dal" principle, according to which each person "owed per-
sonal service to the lord of the soil" as his "master"--a
perpetual servitude that was "born with the child and only
ended in the grave." 2 Cong. Rec. 3282 (1874) (statement of
Rep. Cox). Americans, the Court says, adopted this feudal
principle as a rule of American citizenship "with little fan-
fare." Ante, at 4. Then, according to the Court, the Recon-
struction Congress codified that feudal principle with the
words "not subject to any foreign power" in the Civil Rights
Act and "subject to the jurisdiction thereof " in the Citizen-
ship Clause. Then, the Court says, the Clause's meaning
was definitively settled by dicta in United States v. Wong
Kim Ark, 169 U. S. 649 (189
accurate. The Court says that the Citizenship Clause in-
corporated the English feudal principle that subjects owed
lifetime servitude to the King who owned the soil on which
they were born, but Americans--unsurprisingly--rejected
this feudal principle. The Court's theory of American citi-
zenship is based on the opinion of a New York assistant vice
chancellor in an inheritance dispute called Lynch v. Clarke,
1 Sand. Ch. 583, 584--585 (N. Y. Ch. 1844). Ante, at 6--10.
But, the assistant vice chancellor's reasoning, whatever it
was worth, was not even followed in New York by the time
of the Citizenship Clause. Finally, the Court reasons that
dicta in Wong Kim Ark settled the meaning of the Clause.
But, Wong Kim Ark itself emphasized that its holding was
limited to persons domiciled in the United States. And,
scholars and government officials continued to agree after
Wong Kim Ark that the Citizenship Clause did not extend
to the children of foreign temporary visitors. The rule re-
mained what it always was: A child born on American soil
of "a stranger or traveler passing through the country, or
temporarily residing here," was "not a citizen." H. Black,
Handbook of American Constitutional Law 634 (3d ed.
1910). The Court today takes the extraordinary step of holding
facially unconstitutional the President's Order excluding
from citizenship the children of foreign temporary visitors
and illegal aliens. In doing so, the Court adds to the sad
history of the Fourteenth Amendment, which was designed
and understood to secure equal rights for the freed blacks
but has instead been repurposed for political projects that
the Reconstruction Congress did not support. Because
many potential applications of the President's Order are
consistent with the original public meaning of the Citizen-
ship Clause, I respectfully dissent.
JUSTICE ALITO, dissenting. This is one of the most important decisions in the historyAlito makes some strong points about the majority of liberals' insane claim that a rule of the British monarchy deciding who was a subject of the king's tyrannical power should dictate the rule of the American democracy about who is granted the rights and priviliges of citizenship. Subjecthood and citizenship aren't the same, you know.
of the Court, and in my judgment, the Court has made a
serious mistake. As interpreted by the Court today, the
Fourteenth Amendment confers citizenship on virtually
everyone who happens to be born in this country, including
the children of "birth tourists," women who come here solely
for the purpose of giving birth to a child and then promptly
return home. Careful analysis of the text of the Fourteenth
Amendment and the process that led to its adoption shows
that it does not degrade the concept of United States citi-
zenship in this way. Instead, the Fourteenth Amendment
confers citizenship on only those children who, at birth, owe
allegiance solely to this country. Respecting this interpretation would not require uproot-
ing the millions of children who were born here to mothers
who entered or remained in this country illegally. Those
children are not responsible for their parents' violation of
our immigration laws, and their plight is the result of a long
period during which a coterie of actors--Executive Branch
officials, States and cities, and a variety of private groups--
sent the message to would-be immigrants that our
immigration laws should not be taken too seriously. This
message, coupled with ineffective or unenthusiastic en-
forcement, spurred massive illegal immigration and the
growth of a large contingent of people who were born here
to mothers unlawfully present in this country. Some mem-
bers of this group have lived here for years, and they have
a strong moral claim to be able to remain in the land where
they grew up. Congress can and should address their situation. The
Fourteenth Amendment dictates who must be a citizen, but
it does not address who may be a citizen by Act of Congress.
Congress has conferred citizenship on many people who are
not made citizens by the Fourteenth Amendment, including
children born abroad to American citizen parents. These
people and the millions of immigrants who have been natu-
ralized are no less American than those who are fortunate
enough to be born here. For these reasons, the original meaning of the Fourteenth
Amendment does not require inhumane results, and we
should not adopt an erroneous interpretation of the Four-
teenth Amendment simply out of fear of the consequences
of "rocking the boat" or as a reaction to current immigration
policy. Nor should we take the position that our hands are tied
by dicta in a sprawling 19th-century opinion that is, to put
the point gently, very far from a model of careful judicial
craftsmanship. Too much is at stake. United States citizenship is precious. Anyone who has
attended a ceremony where citizens are naturalized can see
that message on the faces of those who take the citizenship
oath. Before saddling the Nation with a medieval rule, we
had better be certain the Constitution requires it.
The Court's account of the birthright-citizenship rule in
American law is roughly as follows. After American inde-
pendence, the British rule of birthright subjecthood was
modified in just one way (to take account of Indians who
lived under tribal governance), but otherwise the rule was
transplanted intact to American soil. As modified, the rule
was that a child born in this country is automatically an
American citizen unless the child is born to tribal Indians
or to a diplomat with immunity from legal process. During
the period before the Civil War, the rule's status was firm.
After the war, Congress codified the rule in §1 of the Four-
teenth Amendment. And in United States v. Wong Kim Ark,
169 U. S. 649 (189
confirming what Congress had done.
Every step of this story is incorrect. The Declaration of
Independence repudiated the foundation on which the Brit-
ish rule was based. See infra, at 5. From 1776 until the eve
of the Civil War, the status of the rule in this country was
unsettled. There is no evidence establishing that the Con-
stitution's references to citizens incorporated the British
rule, infra, at 5--8, and until the eve of the Civil War, there
was little litigation about the meaning of American citizen-
ship, infra, at 9--11. After the war, Congress finally adopted
a constitutional provision, §1 of the Fourteenth Amend-
ment, making certain persons citizens at birth, but that
provision differed substantially from the British rule. It
specified that a person born here is not a citizen unless his
allegiance to the United States is unimpaired by any obli-
gations to a foreign power. Infra, at 11--22. And while
Wong Kim Ark included dicta suggesting that the Four-
teenth Amendment incorporates the British rule, its actual
holding was much narrower, infra, at 22--28, and under
that interpretation, respondents' challenge to Executive
Order No. 14160, Protecting the Meaning and Value of
American Citizenship, fails, infra, at 36--39. I A According to the Court, the Fourteenth Amendment's Cit-
izenship Clause codified the British rule of birthright
subjecthood with only one new exception, which was needed
to accommodate the unique status of American Indians.
That is a curious claim, and it is ironic that the Court
should embrace it only days before we celebrate the 250th
anniversary of our Declaration of Independence, which em-
phatically renounced the foundation on which the British
rule rested.
That rule did not concern "citizenship." There was no
such thing as a "citizen" of England, Scotland, or Ireland.
The inhabitants of the British Isles were the King's "sub-
jects." As Sir Edward Coke explained in Calvin's Case, 7
Co. Rep. 1a, 77 Eng. Rep. 377 (K. B. 160
that status automatically at birth, and they retained it, like
it or not, until they died. Id., at 4b, 77 Eng. Rep., at 382;
see id., at 9b, 77 Eng. Rep., at 388 (even a subject who ab-
jures the realm "oweth the King his ligeance"). This status
arose from a feudal understanding of the origin of govern-
mental authority and the relationship between those who
govern and those who are governed. The King's authority
was understood to come from God. Id., at 12b--13a, 77 Eng.
Rep., at 390--391. As Coke put it, a King ruled by the law
of nature. Ibid. And birth established the bond between
King and subject, id., at 4b, 77 Eng. Rep., at 382, just as
birth establishes the bond between parent and child.
In Calvin's Case, the question was whether a man born
in Scotland was a subject of King James I of England, who
acceded to the thrones of both Scotland and England before
the man's birth. Id., at 2a, 77 Eng. Rep., at 379. In a fa-
mous speech to Parliament, James I forcefully explained his
views about the source of his authority and his relationship
with his subjects. The King, he proclaimed, sits "upon
GOD[']s throne" and is the "father of his people." March 21,

ment at White-Hall, in The Political Works of James I,

Well this sucks. We need a real conservative justice to at least win most of these 5-4.
Eric Schmitt will introduce a Constitutional amendment to wipe away this stain:
Senator Eric Schmitt
@SenEricSchmitt
The Supreme Court's birthright citizenship decision is wrong, dangerous, and disastrous for American sovereignty and the American people. If we can't fix it with ordinary legislation, then we must do what the Constitution commands in moments of national crisis: We must amend the Constitution and restore American citizenship. We must again put "We the People" first. The Supreme Court's decision constitutionalizing unlimited birthright citizenship for the children of illegal aliens and temporarily present aliens is wrong--and disastrous for our sovereignty and the future of our republic. The decision exposes America to grave national security risks and threatens to erode the integrity of the core of American self-government: citizenship. Citizenship is more than paperwork issued by the government. It is more than a bureaucratic label that grants access to government programs. Citizenship is the covenantal bond between a nation and its people. In a republic like ours, that bond carries enormous weight. In the United States, sovereignty does not belong to a king or a ruling class. It belongs to the American people themselves. Citizenship defines the legal recognition of who the American people are. Citizenship defines the political community that governs the United States. It defines who exercises the sovereign authority of this republic. But under the Supreme Court's erroneous interpretation, the Constitution now requires citizenship for anyone who happens to be born on U.S. soil. Even if their parents entered the country illegally. In other words, even if the American people--the citizenry--have prohibited those parents from entering our territory. Even if they are here only temporarily as tourists or on student visas. Even if they have no intention of joining the American nation. That is a dramatic departure from how serious nations understand citizenship. Under the Supreme Court's decision, citizenship no longer reflects allegiance or loyalty to a country and its laws. It becomes an administrative status to be seized by interlopers. This ruling is the final alarm bell. The bond of American citizenship has slowly eroded through a series of Supreme Court opinions, congressional actions and inactions, and circumstances the Framers of our Constitution and the Fourteenth Amendment could not have foreseen. The result is a constitutional order in which the American people are losing control over the most basic question in any republic: who belongs to the political community that governs the nation. This has been the central fight of my work in this important year for American national identity. I led an amicus brief in this very case. I convened a hearing on birthright citizenship and the meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment. I have pressed this issue because citizenship is the threshold question of the republic. If we lose control of citizenship, we lose control of self-government itself. In the wake of an erroneous Supreme Court ruling like this one, Congress has a duty to examine the Constitution's text, the historical record, and the policy consequences. Congress also has the power to respond. When the Court mistakenly interprets a statute, Congress can amend the statute through bicameralism and presentment. But when the Court entrenches its mistake as a constitutional command, the remedy must match the injury. Congress can propose an amendment under Article V, and the states can ratify it. That process is purposefully difficult. It requires two-thirds of each chamber of Congress and ratification by three-quarters of the states. Here, the Supreme Court issued a constitutional ruling. Ordinary legislation cannot repair the damage. A constitutional amendment is now required. Accordingly, I will be announcing a forthcoming constitutional amendment to restore the sacred bond between American citizens and their government. That amendment will restore the original American understanding of citizenship. It will restore the right of the American people to define their own political community. And it will ensure that citizenship once again reflects allegiance, permanence, and membership in the American nation. This amendment accords with the text, history, and tradition of the Constitution and the American conception of citizenship. It restores the principle embodied in the Civil Rights Act of 1866, the law that formed the basis for the Fourteenth Amendment. As my amicus brief in this case explained, the law contained a citizenship provision establishing that "all persons born in the United States and not subject to any foreign power" would be granted birthright citizenship. That provision was understood to grant birthright citizenship to children born of parents domiciled in the United States while clearly excluding children born to foreign parents temporarily visiting the United States. And as my brief recounts, the Fourteenth Amendment was adopted to constitutionalize the Civil Rights Act of 1866. The original American understanding of citizenship was never a suicide pact. It was never a weapon for illegal entry, temporary presence, demographic conquest, or foreign influence. Left unaddressed, this Supreme Court decision will destroy the republic. A nation that cannot determine who belongs to its political community will lose control of its sovereignty and its unique character and traditions as new generations of unassimilated foreigners are automatically granted citizenship. We have seen exactly what this process looks like as foreign communists have essentially taken over New York City politics. We cannot allow this Supreme Court decision to consign the rest of our nation to the same fate. Today is a sad day in the history of our republic. But America and the Constitution have survived for 250 years because each generation has had patriots who, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, valiantly fought back the existential threats this great nation has faced. Our generation's existential threat is a hostile takeover through mass migration. We must--and we will--honor the patriots who came before us by doing our part to ensure we pass on America, the Constitution, and our nation--the real versions, not desiccated husks. That work begins with restoring the right of the American people to decide who joins the political community that governs the United States and exercises the people's sovereignty.

Prior to the 1920s, most tribes were sovereign - if you were Sioux, you were a citizen of the Sioux Nation, not the United States.
There was a naturalization process for Indians to become US citizens, if they wished, but it wasn't a given.

It isn't because we have tolerated far too many people, especially these courts, who do not share the founding values of this country, nor it's allegiance to God as the source of the Rights we claim, to continue to live among us.
That needs to stop. Deport the illegals. Exile the progressives. Execute any who don't leave voluntarily.
It probably won't have to go that far if they believe we're willing to go that far, but our current insistence on going along to get along just cannot continue.

This Court's decision in Dred Scott v. Sandford, 19 How. 393 (1857), would have permanently denied citizenship to blacks as "a subordinate and inferior class." ... Blacks were entitled to citizenship because they were Americans. They had no other homeland, owed no allegiance to any foreign power, and were subject to no other authority.

It means nothing because the citizenship of those children were not at issue. Those children have parents who are citizens. They are citizens under a section of the constitution not in dispute. A legally adopted child is absolutely no different than a child who was biologically born to the adoptive parents. This includes their birth certificates listing the parents and there is zero notation of an adoption on a birth certificate.

The way I understand it is this:
To even begin this, 2/3rds of the States' Legislatures would have to request this process to begin.
States then have to elect Delegates to go and propose the Amendment
Immediate butt fuckery immediately would ensue as some would demand 2nd Amendment be deleted amongst a fuck ton of other ridiculous non-sense. Not to mention all the Grandstanding for Social Media Click Bait.
We wouldn't even get past step 1. But if it did, In the end nothing would get done. Because it is now obvious some States/Territories have turned this little loophole into Big Money via Birth Tourism, Federal Welfare Bucks, and Manipulating the Census to rig representation in the House.

The Trump EO was and is not the proper vehicle for revising the existing interpretation, but I had hoped the ensuing court case would. The oral arguments seemed to miss the point, and possibly the entire case before the Supremes was too narrow to alter the existing interpretation.
IMO, the Constitutional amendment is fine as written, the interpretation of resident is insane. We have too much of congress that has been bought by globalists to fix the situation by either legislation or amendment. If this court couldn’t see the need to fix this issue, I fear it remains unfixable.

Technically, a future court could overturn the decision because the whole 14th Birthright issue was irrelevant to the core holding that the President may not dictate birthright citizenship via an executive order. Thus, obiter dicta on the rest of the blathering by the majority.
So a future court, COULD, mind you, distinguish this decision from a future one if Congress passes a law. Immigration and naturalization is a plenary power of Congress, not the courts. If Congress even wanted to, it could also do a Bricker amendment stripping the Court of any jurisdiction in immigration cases (see Ex Parte McCardle).

Hell. They don't see the other half of their counties abutting on those cities because they're too busy with environmental issues like grabbing more "greenery" natural land zone buffers, greenway paths, reconstructing round-a-bouts in roads through their towns to make them so much slower to navigate and therefore undesirable for travel. (A Buttigieg stunt in Indiana.)
Oh, and separating major state roads for bike paths, ergo the non-elite can almost NOT drive for fear of striking gig workers, environmentalists, and children that go unattended and wild.
Lastly, they spend a lot of time keeping their children in private schools (including Quaker, Muslim) and "better" universities so they "fit in" with both transnational elitists and our own homegrown commie A-holes.

No, but good to know. My arguement comes from Nevada and Vermont. Half the states were not present to grant statehood to them. Therefore that is a recognition of the Southern states being no longer a part of the United States. The United states then defeated the Confererate States of America. A country they recognized and waged war upon. The reconstruction amendments were hurried in before the defeated Confederate States America went through the voting to join again. The newly conquered territories were not and still are not part of the United States as spelled out in the Constitution OR Nevada and Vermont aren't.

Technically, a future court could overturn the decision because the whole 14th Birthright issue was irrelevant to the core holding that the President may not dictate birthright citizenship via an executive order.
================
I thought the core holding was that the 14th guarantees birthright citizenship, regardless of which branch says otherwise.

I got to thinking about this and there is a simple way to fix that kind of text in the future.
1. Get Notepad++. It's a freeware text editor for Windows.
2. Paste the text into a new document.
3. Go to the Edit menu and choose Replace.
4. Put in \r\n in the "Find what" box.
5. Put a space in the "Replace with" box.
Done! all the hard coded new lines will be replaced with a single space. If needed, you can always add line breaks as you see fit.
Much easier than doing all that by hand.

De facto Elric is right. But this shoves the unpleasant mess into the political system and is likely to be a new litmus test for any GOP appointed justice--and Roberts just stained his tattered judicial legacy even more. ACB will have a similar legacy to Sandra Day O'Conner who made a mess of constitutional interpretation.

corporated the English feudal principle that subjects owed
lifetime servitude to the King who owned the soil on which
they were born, but Americans--unsurprisingly--rejected
this feudal principle.

Nope, it is obiter dicta, not that you would get that from the media. There was no law of Congress at issue in the case (cites to the citizenship laws of 1940 were not core to the case). In this case, like Wong Ark Kim, it dealt with administrative actions only, not the power of Congress.
So yes, like the death penalty, if Congress speaks, another bite at the apple is possible (especially as Kavanaugh argues just this point in his concurrence. Happened quite a bit over Roe jurisprudence.
So it takes one justice being replaced on the current court majority and by making the ruling prospective based on a new Congressional law, removes the messiness of revoking current citizenship.
Trump forced the court majority to rub its faces in shit with this decision and it is probably not going to be as long lived as ACB or Roberts would have hoped. And it blows up for good the rather stupid arguments put forward by Shipwrecked Crew commentator that ACB and Roberts are pragmatists. This as far from pragmatic as it can be.

It was really five to four. Kavanaugh had a concurrence that technically joined the majority in ruling Trump did not have that power but punted it to Congress whether it did. And Kavanaugh's concurrence is what needs to be followed by future court litigation. After either Roberts, Sotomayor, or one of the other justices on the majority step down. Or if the GOP decides to call the Dems bluff and expand the court to 13-15 which is not looking that bad now. 13 would make it one justice per circuit.

So is the birthright decision. We won't have a country much longer at this rate and the Muzzies have specifically targeted this country for conquest. Institutions like Scotus have abjectly failed as has Congress in abandoning their role to promote America rather than their multiple foreign interests and affections.
And that is because the ruling class in the West are anti nationalism, anti their existing populations, and anti borders. Last time such a combo ruled the West, we got WWI and the Napoleonic Wars which might as well have been called pre WWI.

If you don't want your house crawling with rats, you stop them from getting in. You don't invite them in and then try to get rid of them. Immigration is exactly the same.
The reality is that under democrap presidents, we have invited in tens of millions of invaders and allowed them to stay pending their immigration cases. During that time, they were technically legally here.
If they had a baby, that baby would be a citizen -- even if we won the BRC case. Because nobody disputed that the children of foreigners legally here would be citizens.

Anyway Florio will often say that the NFL (Roger Goodell and the league office… Park Ave NYC) runs the league not based on law or published rules and logic. They determine what outcome they want and tell their lawyers: Construct an argument to get there.

B) Roberts is the supervising justice of the FISA court and its misuse for criminal purposes by his friend Boasberg and Democrats means that he himself has violated privacy rights under color of the law protected by US civil rights laws.
C) His wife is a top legal recruiter making millions by directing legal talent to the top law firms on commissions. Those top law firms routinely appear before the court as counsel and thus Roberts has a direct financial interest in pleasing those law firms.
D) The illegal adoption of his children--Ireland does not permit foreigners adopting Irish children (due to widespread problems of abuse). His skirting of those laws by arranging the Irish woman to go to Venezuela for birth and thence adoption of those Irish citizen kids is illegal.

Depends on the make up of the court. They could call that "dicta" which is not precedent and basically ignore it.
The problem with the Courts is, there are too many rationalizations that have been ginned up over the years to get the end result wanted in a particular case. And these rationalizations once utilized, can be trotted out again as a reason to do whatever is wanted by the majority. Basically, a life time supreme court of 9 can do whatever the fuck they want if they get a majority. Because there is always some way around it. Constitution be damned. It means what we want it to mean.

Posted by: rhomboid
Nope, technically Roberts and ACB were bloviating about the 14th. See Kavanaugh. It was the classic example of extraneous reasoning not needed to address the issues of the case. In this case, it was whether the President had the authority by executive order solely to reject administratively any claims by children born to foreigners who were not here legally or as tourists were not US citizens. Given previous rulings, that would seem to be so as Congress in previous decisions has been given almost plenary power over naturalization as it is a enumerated power. Contra Afroyim v. Rusk which is another 5-4 legally dubious Warren court relic on dual citizenship.
And Congress has several means to hurt Scotus--e.g. jurisdiction stripping (see Ex Parte McCardle and the Bricker Amendment in the 50's) on immigration, it can also expand the court which the Democrats are likely to do anyway.

I was excited at Barrett’s early discussion, when her nomination was put on hold for her to replace Ginsburg at a later date. In the meantime, I saw a lot of things about how her religious views informed her legal opinions, and she didn’t possess the same sort of legal philosophy that made Alito, Thomas, and Scalia so indispensable.
By the time Barrett’s nomination came around, I was desperately hoping someone else would come up. All the things I read about “the rest of her story” turned out to be true.

The government is so big that this statement is silly.
The federal government is roughly 2.7 million people. No administration is capable of replacing that many people in 4 or 8 years.
Of course, you could terminate 2.7 million people in 4 years.

It is a states right thing if we are to believe in our Republic. But what it does mean is those states who do ban it can’t be forced to accept them. Which is a positive.

Yes, democratic socialists are left of traditional Democrats. But they aren’t remotely as radical—or anywhere near as powerful—as the MAGA right.
If the left were as extreme as the right, people would have stormed the WH by now. Perhaps Trump keeps doing crazy shit to try to provoke people into civil war in order to declare Martial Law.
what is it the extreme left wants? Healthcare for everyone, affordable housing, cheaper groceries, free education...so radical man.
One extreme is mass deportations and concentration camps, the other extreme is universal healthcare. There is no comparison here. One is rooted in compassion, the other is not
Only in America can you be just vaguely left of center and be called a “dangerous radical”. The actual left is SO MUCH FURTHER than the happy, smiling Democratic Socialists and “Nordic Model” SocDems.

That's kind of what it amounts to because Trump has rightly given up on Congress and done what he had to do via EO. He got somewhat personally screwed because he fought so hard. Kudos to the man.

As I've posted before, the 1924 Indian Citizenship Act demonstrated that Congress has the power to interpret and redefine the boundaries of the 14th.
American Indians were explicitly excluded by the strict wording of the 14th. Congress changed that, without needing to change the Amendment itself.

I'm not a legal scholar, but what I've noticed is that the current SC is decidedly conservative in the way its decisions are based on Article responsibilities as stated in the Constitution. The Court majorities have been averse to making law from the bench and have repeatedly placed remedies for conflicting lower court decisions in the hands of the federal and state legislatures. For example, the recent mail-in ballot decision.

It's a wholly made concoction of the court, the intent of the 14th was literally to deal with the status of freed slaves. That's it.

The majority went further than it had to. Instead of just saying "this has to be done by Congress, not by EO," they went all the way and held that the 14A guarantees citizenship to the anchor babies of foreign invaders. It's a bad as it could have been.
The dissent is right on the money. Alas, it is a dissent.
The only good news is that this doesn't change anything. Trump took a shot at a long-standing left-wing fetish. He lost. But this only means we are were we have been for at least 50 years.

Will the Republic last another 20 years? Dunno. But that's on SCOTUS, which made an apparent overstep here as you note.

I believe this is incorrect. Bigfoot and space aliens are also subject to the jurisdiction of the US. Thus, if Bigfoot impregnated a space alien, and the space alien gave birth on US soil, then the resulting offspring would be eventually entitled to vote.
So, we got that going for us!

The F126 frigate project was envisioned as a six ship multi-mission class under Ursula van der Leyen's leadership. Total cost was supposed to be ten billion Euros but the programme has been bedeviled with 'little' problems like the software used by the Dutch company to design the frigate was incompatible with the computers in the German shipyards.
Delivery dates slipped until 2027 for the first ship and the costs for the whole class ballooned to an estimated EIGHTEEN billion Euros. After spending three billion Euro the whole programme has been cancelled in favor of a smaller eight ship frigate class that is only supposed to cost TWELVE billion Euro.

Leonardo da Vinci
The Virgin, the Christ Child, and Saint Anne is a prominent subject in Christian art. It portrays the generational lineage of Jesus: Saint Anne (the mother of Mary), the Virgin Mary, and the infant Jesus. This motif has inspired some of history's most celebrated masterpieces.
The most famous depiction is Leonardo da Vinci's unfinished oil painting, The Virgin and Child with Saint Anne, created around 1501–1519. In this High Renaissance work, Mary is seated on her mother's lap while she tries to restrain the Christ child, who is grasping a sacrificial lamb that symbolizes his future Passion.
Wikipedia, in part, "It is likely that the painting was commissioned by King Louis XII of France following the birth of his daughter in 1499, but never delivered to him.[1] Leonardo probed into incorporating these figures together by drawing the Burlington House Cartoon (National Gallery)."
It's lovely. Thanks.

Holy fuck Roberts decided on substance, not just whether it's the executive or the legislature:
Roberts concludes that children born to parents who are in the United States unlawfully or temporarily are "born in the United States" and "subject to the jurisdiction thereof." "Under the Constitution, they are citizens at birth."

It's gonna be hard, though, since Roberts said it's the 14th itself that guarantees birthright citizenship.
Kavanaugh dissented on that part, btw. Said it was the EO that was wrong. Says the EO conflicts with the federal law "nless and until Congress enacts" new legislation.

yes that would have been an acceptable decision.
as it is it re-writes the 14th to comport with the travesty that the Left has turned it into.
tbh I feel like American women are happy with just adopting foreign kids rather than carrying their own kids. plus the gay guys! so they're just peachy with this idiocy.
eventually no one will carry kids, it will be external wombs or some such. I mean, unless civilization collapses of course.

The Morning Report — 6/ 30 /26
It is fascinating but ultimately depressing to watch old-style Democrats say or do anything to avoid the new mob of Robespierres. Democrat candidates who recently begged for a Schumer/Pelosi/Jeffries endorsement now are telling them to get in line at the guillotine. Jewish American Democrats are terrified that what happened to the primaried and defeated Rep. Dan Goldman of New York, an arch-Trump hater, could befall them. Goldman’s obnoxious showboating hatred of Trump and championing of neo-socialist agendas offered no defense against the Jacobins’ antisemitism and hatred of Israel.And his noting of the guillotine is not merely a rhetorical flourish but given who and what we're dealing with perhaps prescient:
Andy O’Brien, the communications director for the Maine AFL-CIO, a statewide federation of 160 local unions, posted on social media, suggesting Democrats who refuse to support Democrat U.S. Senate nominee Graham Platner should face execution after a “revolution.”And given the track record of Antifa, BLM and the Soros District Attorneys and thoroughly corrupt judges, you can bet your bottom dollar that is not mere hyperbole. Well, there are the Democratic Socialists, and then of course there are the Democrat Socialites
Rep. Ro Khanna (D., Calif.) has emerged as a potential contender for the Democrat presidential nomination while denouncing the ultra-rich who "hoard wealth and engage in financial speculation." But the progressive, Silicon Valley congressman and his family live a life of staggering luxury, fueled by dynastic wealth they did not earn and protected by the same thicket of trusts, anonymous corporations, and foundations that Khanna condemns.Oh, a slimy scumbag chutzpocritical hypocrite. I'm shocked, et tu Comrade Colonel Sanders, of the multiple multi-million dollar Vermont ski chalets?! No flame throwers aimed at them, eh Antifa?! On that note, I give you this little item.
Cops arrested a man outside a church in High Point, North Carolina, who allegedly had two flamethrowers, over 500 rounds of ammunition and other weapons. High Point Police Department (HPPD) officers responded at approximately 10:15 a.m. June 28 to a report of an armed man in his vehicle outside Wesley Memorial Church, according to a police statement. The caller alleged that the man was dressed in camoflage garb. An off-duty officer in the church responded and was soon joined by additional officers. The man was arrested “without incident” and no injuries were reported, police said. . . Police identified the suspect as 44-year-old William S. Milliken III of Thomasville. Prosecutors charged him in part with “possession of weapon of mass destruction, impersonation of law enforcement officer, and possession of control substance schedule II.” Milliken’s truck was searched after he was taken into custody, police said. Officers found a CO2-powered launcher crafted to look like a handgun, a pair of flamethrowers, a pair of crossbows, over 500 rounds of ammunition, three knives, and oxycodone pills, according to the HPPD. (RELATED: ‘Teen Takeover’ Chaos Spreads After Masked Individual Pulls Out Apparent Flamethrower)I'm sure he was just setting up for the church's July 4th festivities, nein?! Aside from this, there is one story that is disturbing in the extreme.
Officials charged a 10-year-old Missouri boy with murder after he allegedly shot a 7-month-old baby in the head execution-style June 26, according to a report.Well chalk up another one for LBJ's Great Society — or if Barack Obama had a son, he'd be Ca’Marion. I think this story should be emblazoned on the side of his Godzilla urinal-looking Presidential Library in (Jekyll'n) Hyde Park. Have a good day,
St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department (SLMPD) officers responded to the incident just after 4:00 p.m. and found the baby, identified as 7-month-old Kiyomi Parker, within the residence, according to an SLMPD press release. The baby died from her wounds. Homicide Detectives and Child Abuse Detectives later opened an investigation into the incident and learned that an unidentified 10-year-old boy shot the child, the SLMPD alleged. Witnesses said the 10-year-old retrieved a gun and shot the infant, according to court documents cited by First Alert 4. The boy confessed that he shot baby in the head, WTHR13 reported, citing a probable cause statement. . . Officers allegedly learned that Ca’Marion Pawnell, the baby’s father, stored a gun beneath a mattress in one of the residence’s bedroooms by interviewing witnesses, including the 10-year-old. The minor confessed that he was aware of where the firearm was and had retrieved it before, according to the court documents.

At the time, Justice Clarence Thomas said the constitutionality of New York’s rent regulations is “an important and pressing question” — and that he looked forward to a rent-control case that clearly demonstrates the government going too far to take an owner’s property.

Something I've been paying attention to for quite a while now: I'll be in a fast food place, a grocery store, or a big box store, or even at a gas pump and I'll make note of the background music playing. Frequently it's a song I remember from high school, which was 50 years ago. And it's not a remake. It's the exact SAME recording from 50 years ago.
So, in 1975 was the background music recordings from 1925?
No, it wasn't.
I don't know what any of this means, but once you start listening for it, it's pervasive.

Voters? F*ck voters. That's the point or goal -- to reach a post-voter or post-electoral socialist empire, to nullify the whole premise of voters and voting and accountability. It's so regressive and humiliating for a good socialist to have his credentials and performance, or his ideology's moral supremacy and right to rule, judged.

Trump Announces Iran Talks, Iranian Official Denies They Are Scheduled After Weekend Strikes.“
This is something where I honestly don’t understand Trumps motivations; I try to make sense of them and can’t. Over the last two days, he posted on Truth Social multiple assurances that Iran was coming back for more negotiations today, in Doha. The Iranian Foreign Ministry openly laughed at these claims and poured scorn on them, saying that they weren’t gonna negotiate shit anymore. Both accused the other side of lying.
So what happened? Today, Jared Kushner went to talk to some Qatari officials. Nobody from Iran showed up, obviously the “negotiations” are dead. Why pretend they’re not?

Ro Khanna may not be the worst Democrat, since he hasn't publicly called for executions yet, but he certainly is right up there on the Hypocritical List. Vast wealth, all gifted to his wife and their children from her entrepreneurial father, make his material life possible. If he truly believes what he claims, he and she would renounce every penny, give it to the Treasury, and move into a Soviet style apartment. What a POS.

I don't think enough people have any understanding just what is happening or how bad it is...or how utterly traitorous those in authority that have cultivated the demise of these countries are.

I honestly think that gives the DNC way too much credit. I've seen nothing resembling a cohesive plan out of them.
Used to be - you'd see a general coordination around election cycles. Two year kinda' plans. You could definitely see it out of the GOP after the Tea Party Wave. A coordinated effort to coopt what new members they could, and expel the rest, even if it cost them a couple cycles. It worked. They'd like to do it again regarding Trump - but they just can't pull it off now. Too many moles to whack. Just too much effort.
You definitely saw a DNC plan during Covid. But now ? They can't "plan" more than over a weekend until the next new cycle. I don't think they'll be much of a party in twenty years or so. Don't know if the GOP will be either. I'll put all my chips in on fractures in both parties. I think we get at least three before its over. Maybe four.

Music from 1970-2000, you could even toss in up to 2010, spawned a ridiculous number of genres and subgenres. The music industry was all over the place.
After, you get homogenized Unigenre post-disco sludge-hop where the only thing that changes between acts are the face tattoos and the clothing.
People go to those decades now because that's where all the options are.

The crap of today doesn't elevate the music of the 70's.
Seventy's music appears elevated because today's is a choice between bubble gum elevator, angst and anger whereas much of the base of 70's was rooted, not necessarily expressed, but foundational in traditional forms.

Technically, the movie does have a higher percentage of women than any DC recent release (normally, DC is high 60s%-low 70s% men for viewship...this one was 59% OW and going down)...so more men did fail to show than women, but at those numbers, some normal women viewers also stayed home...

I missed Ace's thread yesterday about the Dems' trashing of the 250th. There are a few flags and bunting around my little neighborhood, but while I have always celebrated the Glorious Fourth, this year holds no real joy for me.
I should never have joined Facebook (I only did for the Theda Bara club there) and I really should never have got into the habit of reading comments connected to anything Trump. It both pisses me off and depresses me immensely to see how many Dems are cheering the states refusing to join in the State Fair and how eager they are to share pictures and stories about how poorly-attended the event is. The overwhelming sentiment now is that it should all be put on hold until the next Dem president, and then celebrate. And the kicker to that is that these assholes know the right is too damned polite to boycott a Dem-led celebration of America.

Here's my theory - like a lot of stuff now, for many attending a concert or movie or sporting event is a virtue signal. Same for many ever with their home viewing choices. Same goes for shopping choices. This crosses across all demographic lines.
There was a time when people put down their money and expected to be entertained. See STYX getting booed off stage in Texas for picking there, off all places, to debut Dennis De Young's idea of Rock Opera.
Bad idea, Dennis. Wrong place, wrong time.
But now ? Sure, you can't argue taste. You always won't convince me that everybody in that area paid because they just love to watch Angel Reese brick every damn shot she threw up.

This is so funny, I was just thinking the same thing. I have resigned myself to this being, at best, SCOTUS saying you can’t EO this, it has to come from Congress, so Congress DO SOMETHING. And then Congress won’t. Because do they ever do anything? Honestly, y’all. Saving our country is not going to happen by relying on the schmucks in DC.

It's the X Factor in our politics. If you're only one in a million who are voting then the chances that your vote will decide the outcome are infinitismal. So why bother to vote?
Group solidarity. This is too often to the Left's advantage. Trump's trying to change that. Let's hope he awakens the Sleeping Giant to have terrible resolve before the Midterms.

Only hope is Roberts wrote both decisions yesterday, right, on the firing fed decisions, so he's not the author. So, either a wacko liberal or a hardcore conservative has this one (Thomas hasn't written one of the last 10)...or Gorsuch does (b/c he also hasn't)...if it's Gorsuch, he probably went with the 4 and it's a Trump loss...

Charlie nervously says let’s call Jake to settle this… whereupon Jake’s cellphone sitting nearby starts to ring with this song… making huge and menacing dad even more agitated.

How? Why? To what end?
Even if the Islamic theocracy goes down the tubes, Iran would necessarily have another form of ruthless autocracy, or Islamism would immediately return - no democratic system can withstand that many Muslims.
The only way those people were getting """liberated""" was with a PERMANENT American presence to keep them """liberated""" until the very instant some far-flung future government decided to withdraw, at which point - Islamism immediately returns.
Our options with regard to regime change boiled down to "US backed puppet warlord" or "very direct, physically present US administration of a fake democracy." Liberation was always out of the question.
But for some, the fantasy of dragging Muslims into modernity will simply never die. It's their white whale.

This may be, but only because I know that Iranians are a Western-oriented people, and that Islam is alien to them and imposed upon them by a radical clique which seized power and installed a muslim terror state in place of the Pahlavi monarchy, which kept the radicals in check and oriented their foreign policy with the West.

I’ve seen many note that the difference between functional countries and the 3rd World countries is how they respond to disasters. If something like that happened in the US, for example, we would put a huge emphasis on building codes and inspections to see that it doesn’t happen again.
But take a situation like Ferry disasters in the Philippines. Every 3 or 4 years, there will be sad news of some overloaded island ferry that suddenly sank, taking 8,000 people to the bottom with it. Everyone laments the loss for a day or two - then goes right back to doing the same thing with the same worn out overloaded ferry’s, so that the same disaster happens over and over and over again.
They just don’t care. Not enough to do anything about it.

Yeah, Iran has its own old civilization, the one Islam tried to snuff out. That civilization has much in common with our values, not sure we can teach them much more. But we can set the conditions, dictated by our own interests, that will allow the ayatollahs to completely fall. USSR fell because of enormous pressure from the outside.

Sprechgesang (German for "spoken singing") is a vocal technique midway between speech and song. Performers use specific rhythms and loose, approximate pitches, hitting a note only to let the voice rapidly fall away. It conveys dramatic intensity without traditional melodic singing. Probably popularized by Kraftwerk in the 1980s. This is her "modern" take on it.

I think Americans have hope because the majority of Iranians aren't Muslim. A survey from either last year or the year before had a third of Iranians self-identifying as Muslim. This is despite it being the state religion, the IRGC probably at their most paranoid, and locked-down media.

Clinton and Obama left a massive vacuum in party leadership, a void that Pelosi and Schumer didn’t have enough influence on a national scale to fill. The emerging democratic leadership is both hard core communist and largely Muslim.

Pawnell is the father of the baby but who is the father of the 10 year old and 7 year old and who is/are the mothers (s)?
---------------------------------------
Prosecutors charged the 10-year-old with first-degree murder in juvenile court. He’s seemingly the youngest person in the history of Missouri to face a murder charge, the outlet reported.
Pawnell and the 10-year-old’s relationship is unclear, according to the New York Post. A 7-year-old child was inside the residence when the alleged shooting took place, First Alert 4 reported.

I was also curious:
Apostrophes in black names came about for two reasons. In one case if it's La' or De' it can mean junior or the second. Such as a man being named Darius and naming his son La'Darius. The other reason is the French language's influence on southern African-Americans.Jul 6, 2024

Daily Tech News 30 June 2026
Top Story
- South Korea is planning to invest $520 billion to expand chip production at Samsung and SK Hynix. (Tom's Hardware)
Well, sort of. Only about $20 billion of that is direct South Korean public spending, with the remainder coming from regional governments and private investment.
The government will also help fast-track approvals to bring construction plans forward by as much as twelve years.
- Meanwhile the Big Three - Micron, Samsung, and SK Hynix - have been hit with a private antitrust lawsuit by litigants in California. (Tom's Hardware)
The suit seems to be focused on decreased production of DDR4 and DDR3, which is legal, but alleges they colluded to do so, which may not be.
Tech News
- IMEC has laid out its roadmap towards a 0.3nm process in 2038. (Tom's Hardware)
The article notes that this is marketing nonsense - well, the part you can read doesn't, but it's there in the details that you can't read - with actual feature sizes in the 10-20nm range. Since a single silicon atom has a diameter of 0.2nm, you can rest assured they're not building circuits that size.
The 0.3nm instead refers to the effective density thanks to increased use of 3D production to stack transistors vertically.
- The Steam Cube hasn't even started shipping and the first clones are here. (Tom's Hardware)
Meta PC's Steamroller is a micro ATX system with a Ryzen 9600X and a Radeon 7600 - both a little faster than the components in the Steam Machine - 16GB of DDR5 RAM, 8GB of VRAM, and a 1TB SSD, for $1299.
It ships with SteamOS, so no Windows tax.
- Everything new is old again: Nvidia's RTX 3060 has returned from the dead. (Tom's Hardware)
It was a pretty decent card, and its 12GB of VRAM gives it a boost over current 8GB models like the 5060 and the base model 5060 Ti
- It can also run PhysX games, which Nvidia half-killed on the 5000 series. But now so can AMD graphics cards. (WCCFTech)
Thanks to open-source library ZLUDA.
- The war against woke could end US science as we know it. (The Verge) (archive site)

83 F. at 4:20 am. Horrifying, esp. since I was planning to work out in it. Long ago, Dr. Cooper in Aerobics advised that if temps were over 90 F., to reduce exercise or change to the early morning or evening. Excuse me, Doctor Sir, but what do ya do when the early morning and evening heat-index temps are *also* over 90?
Though he lived in South Texas for much of his life, and was an active runner himself, so he knew about that.

Well I guess we won't be able to count on the South Korean government in any antitrust investigation of SK Hynix or Samsung this time round, not with how much money is being shoveled at them to address the memory scarcity problems.
And we all know what happens when government throws a lot of money at a problem: The solution usually takes longer, costs 10 times more than it should, and arrives broken, if it arrives at all. Yay.

Samsung is off the market here. If you want to buy it's on the Korean market at ~240. SK Hnix is privately owned. The only other company that makes those do hickeys is MU an American company going for 1300. It was 20 last year.

Funny - well, for certain values of funny - story on that is that they hired a dialect coach for him, but the dialect coach could do a Cockney dialect, either. TBF, it's one of the more difficult dialects for a non-native speaker to get a handle on.

By no means all. During the Blitz, fire companies from the Republic on their own hook went to help out bombed cities. There's a story that, in Belfast, one man was knocked unconscious, and when he woke, seeing trucks from the Dun Laoghaire fire brigade, thought he'd been blown all the way to Dublin!

CA is so dang expensive because (in order of importance as I see it):
1. Scarce resource of land near beautiful ocean and beaches — Govt has no influence; it is what it is
2. Minimal supply of housing — Govt big influence with lots of insane regulations
3. State income tax near 10% — By definition bad govt
4. High gas prices — By definition bad govt with high gas taxes and punishing refineries
5. High sales taxes — Govt the culprit
6. High electric bills — See #4 govt punishes energy production
7. High cost of eating out (fast food or sit down restaurant) — Govt problem with insane minimum wage
So CA’s govt has a huge hand in 6 of the 7… I’m sure other items could be added to this list.
Summary: CA would probably be more expensive even with good state government because it’s a beautiful place… but it wouldn’t be anywhere near as bad as it is…

If NATO were anything more significant than a passel of pimps and layabouts, its member nations would have banded together and beat the everloving shit out of Moscow on day 1 when they invaded. Ukraine not being in NATO wasn't relevant. The point of the organization is to check Russian aggression, and they demonstrated they have no interest in checking Russian aggression. They dithered and shilly shallied and demanded Uncle Sam do the entire lift alone. Uncle Sam, being King Pimp of Slut Mountain, figured it was too much work and there was far more money to be made in letting the meat grinder grind unhindered.
Worrying today about anything NATO is or isn't, or does or doesn't do, is for entertainment purposes only.

The 'science' of flattering the priors of gov't grant administrators is, naturally, suffering such a crisis of quality as to invite scorn. Even highly cited studies, published in gold-standard journals, have a coin-flip chance of being replicable. And how 'scientific' are they really, when they're not following the Scientific Method?

Monday Overnight Open Thread - June 29, 2026 [scampydog]
Your Monday dose of CBD has been temporarily interrupted. Please accept this budget-friendly ONT instead. Less refined, with a side of excessive content.
The theme tonight is black and white. Before we dive into the monochrome, let’s go with some whimsical content. Hell yeah! It is Combine Demolition Derby Time!
The combines have entered the arena (link goes to wikipedia)
Competitors typically remove heavy or unneeded parts of the combines before competitions and reinforce the front, or header, of the vehicle.[3] A vehicle is deemed eliminated once its header section is destroyed or the combine is immobilized. Competitors attempt to use the header to pop other vehicle's tires, rupture their drive belts, or tear off their header.[4] The competitions can end in ties if the only remaining machines become inextricably tangled together.[5] The competition in Lind, Washington often includes multiple heats, including rounds for event veterans, rookies, and consolation rounds for losers.[6] In Michigan, there is a derby circuit with competitions in several towns.
Before the Scots arrived for their World Cup adventure - with cones, drank everything in sight, and somehow won over America, Boston had a different kind of overflow problem. The Great Molasses Flood of 1919
The tank, 50 feet high and 90 feet in diameter, contained 2.3 million gallons of molasses originally destined for use in a munitions plant. The tank, though only a few years old, seemed shaky. People who lived and worked in the North End said the tank shuddered and groaned when the company filled it. Shortly after noon, the tank collapsed with a thunderous roar. The ground shook, and witnesses said the rivets popping out of the tank sounded like machine gun fire.
Things nobody really wants to know. The ONT is here for you Why wombat poop is cube shaped
Humans may be fascinated by cubes, but only one animal poops them: the bare-nosed wombat. This furry Australian marsupial squeezes out nearly 100 six-sided turds every day—an ability that has long mystified scientists. Now, researchers say they have uncovered how the wombat intestine creates this exceptional excrement.
Things We All Knew Before the Internet Arrived. The lost art of the handwritten note and stationery sets. Who remembers the Onion Skin and Bristol Board paper? There really is something meaningful about a hand written note on stationary. Who still takes the time to send hand written notes?
Another household name that pops up every holiday season is Current. The brand was launched by Bill and Mary Gick in their Colorado Springs basement in 1950. Their idea was simple but clever: create high quality, personalized greeting cards and sell them directly to customers through mail order catalogs. Current was one of the first companies to really master the catalog approach, and their colorful, customizable products quickly found a dedicated fan base.
Hello 80's Ladies. The rise and fall of shoulder pads.
A brief history of shoulder pads Using padding to alter the shape of our clothing isn’t a new concept — it dates back to the 1870s and 1880s, when padding was used for the bustles of women’s dresses to extend the fullness at the back. However, the origins of the fashion shoulder pads we know and love today go back to Princeton University football players in the late 19th century, who developed the pads for protection — but the trend didn’t begin to enter women’s fashion until the 1930s.

Hey, I hear there’s this little 250th thing happening. We might as well talk about it. All the Smarty Readers here know, but those that don't.... Since a big part of any celebration of THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD involves the stars and stripes, here’s a refresher on the proper care, display, and respect for the American flag. Clothing and Old Glory
One of the most common points of confusion: the Flag Code’s restrictions apply to actual United States flags, not to clothing or products that happen to feature a stars-and-stripes pattern. A T-shirt printed with red, white, and blue stripes isn’t a flag. A bandana with a flag motif isn’t a flag. Wearing these items doesn’t violate the code. The prohibition on using the flag as a costume means you shouldn’t cut up or drape an actual flag over yourself — it doesn’t extend to patriotic-themed apparel.
This ONT was brought to you by: Put A Pickle In Your Shitty Beer.
South Dakota, Mallory told me, is famous for its "pioneer preservation sensibility" and penchant for pickling everything from green beans to watermelon rinds. She says the addition of the pickle works best when it's "paired with a light domestic lager-style beer, like Bud Light or PBR. The base beer has to have a pretty clean, mild flavor for it to work."
This ONT was brought to you by the mistaken belief that one can outrun a tornado. Was thinking a different kind of tornado, but this will do.
Disclaimer: This ONT was not involved with the Great Giraffe Getaway. If you encounter another Wandering Giraffe - they are not funded by, affiliated, endorsed, or even aware of the AoSHQ Limited Liability Empire (LLE). This ONT may contain trace amounts of facts, rumors, and speculation.

I get a lot of YouTube vids in my feed of stories of German POWs during WWII that arrive in Texas or Wisconsin or anywhere really. The propaganda was strong with them but became to soften immediately following their first meal. Real meat, real coffee, real milk, weird foods they'd never seen (like biscuits and gravy) but devoured, portions they couldn't believe. They began to realize they'd been lied to.

Perfectly encapsulated by Barn Again. The left picture is more visually interesting than the right side. Right pic looks flat. Dead even. The left has texture and tells a story of what used to be, and decay. Much more a story of the passage of time.

I have three versions of that blender. The generic, pictured. The Imperial. And the Galaxie. I keep the Galaxie on the counter. Technically I bought the extras because I wanted to have a backup in case one dies, but they don’t seem to die. Really, I bought them because (a) they’re dirt cheap, and (b) I bought the generic new, I saw the Imperial and thought it looked better and maybe I should have a backup, and then I saw the Galaxie and it looked even better, and really, I should have two backups.

***********
I still send Christmas cards to friends and family. Sometimes sympathy cards.
The last handwritten note to my husband was last year. He found this on the coffee maker thing (Keurig) that uses pods:
"Hi. I'm sorry for the mess, but it blew up and I tried to clean but I cannot deal with it. Going back to bed."
The pod was old and puffed up. There are no warnings about this that I recall. It went everywhere into the machine and I could not cope.
I have switched to black teabags since then.

The U.S. followed the Geneva Convention scrupulously. Most of the POWs had more personal space in the camps than they did back home as free men.
Those who wanted to work picked apples, etm.

Your eyes actually look for contrast - it's how you see in the dark. You have twice as many rods (b&w) in your eye as cones. Your eyes were made for that to be more distinct and identifiable. Then the cones give you color, and your brain is like, "Wow, that new girl is really cute!" right in front of the current gf (who is beautiful) and you forget all about the dark and light stuff.
Which is a big reason I do not like modern TVs or color-pushed photographs (though some filter work is ok, if it can help with contrasts). The colors always look wrong to me. I can even spot some of the more subtle filters (or effects in digital photography) because the color is just wrong - usually because it makes the contrasts too obvious.
I shot a few rolls of B&W in my day, and I enjoyed it.

Back in the 70's young Lieutenant Diogenes was stationed in Germany. I got to know the Forstmeister (the forest manager) for the training area at Grafenwoehr where we did field training. He had be captured in Africa and spent the war at a camp in Chicago. He learned English. His last job was driving an American general around. Interesting guy.

One caught my eye- a tabby weave in cream, oatmeal, pumpkin and avocado.
"Look, honey- what a blast from the past!"
"Actually-" said the salesman, "that colorway is coming back."

I'm surprised to learn that Axis forces in North Africa were able to transport POWs back to Europe at all.
There was a brief window of opportunity when they could've evacuated most of the Afrika Corps ... but they didn't.
I'm surprised they had enough ships available to transport POWs.

8th Air Force baptism by fire was carried out by crews of the 15th BS(L). It was a series of four attacks.
A three ship of RAF Boston IIIs, two flown by American crews attack Fliegerhorst De Kooy. The AA is so terrific that Capt. Kegelman's plane has an engine shot away and he barely makes it back to England. Lt Loehrl's plane was not so lucky as the intense AA set his plane fire and his plane would crash in shallow waters off Holland. Loehrl's body would never be recovered, his bombardier Lt. Marshall Draper became the 8th Bomber Command's* first POW.
*VIII Fighter Command's first POW would be the XO of the 31st FG flying a Spitfire Mk V when he tangled with FW 190s over France.

I dissent from the view (posted above somewhere) that Italian troops were useless.
The Germans in N. Africa did something they called "corset stiffening"-- integrating German soldiers into Italian units. The Germans reported that these hybrid Italo-German units performed equally as well as the Wehrmacht.

A former Navy nurse at a volunteer thing years back talked about how the POWs would come to pick fruit at her family's farm in AZ.
A favorite story is of the two Germans who "escaped" the minimal security camp at Windsor, CA (now wine country). Sheriff and locals got quite excited. They found the guys lazing on the beach (I think near Jenner). They said they just wanted to see the Pacific. Not related but geographically proximate was the story of an Italian POW who worked at a winery/vineyard, returned after the war, and ended up a major figure in the winery, which was a prominent one.

Still one of the most enterprising organized an escape one night (wasn’t hard) because he’d gotten hold of a map that showed the Gila River about 60 miles south, and the map showed it flowed into the Colorado and then to Mexico. He figured they’d make a crude raft and get out of the country.
So they escaped, and made the hard walk over 60 miles of desert by night, made it to the Gila - and to their complete surprise, learned that rivers in southern Arizona are nothing but sand for about 10 months a year. Never heard of anything like that back in Germany.

Generally speaking, between Anglicans and Calvinist Protestants, American churches put the flag in their churches because of Paul's (God's) admonition about obeying the rulers over you and Jesus' bit about "render unto Caesar." It is a way of declaring that, while we have no king but Jesus, we are still citizens of this earthly nation and obey it. It helps that the Founders took "Providence" and God so seriously that the idea our nation as "God-given" runs through the nation's very essence.

Ship was tied to pier power with no boilers lit. So ammunition for the 5in AA guns had to be manually passed up, to encourage morale to accomplish this Herculean task, Chaplain Maurice Forgey would slap backs and offer encouragement to the sailors and Marines. He was reported to have uttered the now famous phrase, "Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition."
In 1944 he would publish a memoir of USS New Orleans battles in the Pacific until a Japanese Long Lance torpedo blew her bow and #1 8in turret off. It would be titled And Pass the Ammunition.

He was a Luftwaffe pilot. He got across the U.S.-Canadian border., during the two year period when America was still neutral.
Then, he phoned the German embassy in Washington, and they facilitated his entry into Mexico. From Mexico, he took a ship to Spain. From Spain, it was easy for him to arrange travel back to Germany.
He was later killed in action. He went to a lot of trouble just to die.

Yet Article 3
"If I am captured I will continue to resist by all means available. I will make every effort to escape and aid others to escape. I will accept neither parole nor special favors from the enemy."
I found a friendly farmers daughter when I "escaped". Decided the best way to aid in the war was to stay with her.
It really doesn't say much about what else to do afterward.

RE: Portugal and the Azores:
The U.S.made Portugal an offer it couldn't refuse: allow us to put military bases in the Azores, or else will take the Azores by force. If Portugal makes us go to all that trouble... say goodby to the Azores forever.
Germany didn't protest too much about the Azores, because Portugal was the source of Germany's wolfram, which was used to harden steel. That's what Germany cared about, not the Azores.
By the time Portugal permitted the U.S. to put airbases in the Azores, the Azores were the least of Germany's problems.

Early in my career I worked for a guy who was a bomber pilot in WWII. He was shot down over Germany, bailed out and was picked up by a German patrol the minute he hit the ground. He said they were very professional. Relieved him of a few items (watch, cigarettes, etc), took him straight to a Doctor to treat a nasty cut on his head he got bailing out of the plane, then a brief interrogation and off to a POW camp. He said it was stark but not deprivation, just boring.

The locals often would kill you with a pitchfork. Getting picked up by the local Polizei might have been a reprieve from getting beaten to death. After all you just got done dropping bombs on them. But the Gestapo interrogators were assholes, and they had very good intelligence, the bastards. Your home address, family members, all sorts of things.
One of my customers was Loren Darling, a waist-gunner on a B-17 piloted by “Rosy” Rosenthal, another guy they broke the mold after they made him. His plane and crew were the only ones that made it back after a mission, albeit all shot to hell.
Mr. Darling always had a huge smile on his face whenever I talked to him. Always. Really nice guy. I knew he was a B-17 guy during the war, but I wish I would have spent more time with him.

He would have Air Force planes airdrop supplies in. RHIP, I guess. Good training, too. His buds pulled a fast one on him, in lieu of the customary steaks, one time they dropped a load of frozen fish-sticks.

I swear he was SS, thick german accent, cold eyes that would bore through you. The neighbor on the other side was also a kid I went to school with, and at the last high school reunion he said "dude, he was a creepy nazi!!". Needless to say I didn't go near his daughter.

This is how you do it: When you start out, get your Y and Z translational position dead on center. Don't worry about your attitude angles. Piddle around with that, slow and steady, not too much thrust either way. Get it dead on zero and holding steady.
Now, adjust your attitude. Pitch, roll, and yaw. Get them zeroed and steady. Make sure they're holding and as close to zero as you can.
Check Y and Z translation, make sure it's holding zero. So now, we've got our tip, our probe, our shaft lined up straight with the waiting ISS hole.
Now, we thrust along X and start moving in. Attitude held the whole way with me, but I had to keep bumping the Y and Z translation. Keep your closing speed to about 0.2 m/s, roughly. Too fast and you can't adjust the Y and Z fast enough.

I did a kitchen for a guy who was a ball turret gunner on a B17. Small dude, so no surprise he was in the ball turret. He got shot down during some of the first missions. Spent 3 years as a POW. He said he slept outside for most of it, and only ended up with slight knee problems from his experience. He was 63 when I did the kitchen in around 1990. He was full of piss and vinegar, but funny as all hell. He was doing a good amount of work in the house himself. I would make a suggestion and the next day it was already done. Unreal energy he had.

Landing in Switzerland, a disabled bomber, one wasn’t exactly a POW but one was detained for the duration. One might think a crew or two might decide to abscond to Switzerland and sit out the rest of the war. Seems tempting, considering the life expectancy of a B-17. If you’re losing 5 or 10 per cent of the airplanes every mission, and you have to complete 25 missions (later extended to 30, then 35), do the math.
But this didn’t happen. I really can’t figure out how those guys kept getting in those planes. Day after day.

Seriously, the ISS docking simulator is fun:
https://iss-sim.spacex.com/
Give it a try. Slow and steady, and line up as dead-on as you can get it when you start moving in. When you get close, which for me was about 20 m, slow down to a crawl, because any little wiggle there will be amplified looking at the crosshairs.

I was too busy with/recovering from a family reunion to actually participate in the ONT of songs you could listen to 100 times straight, but I considered "Gepetto". Well, the answer was no, but "Sad Dress" from the same album was yes. After all, when I first got Star (1993) on CD, I put it on repeat.
And then did it again the next day.

Oh, update on my 96 yr old mother. A doctor there at the hospital got to looking at her history and got to wondering. So far, we though the problem was just due to fluid build up (chronic venous insufficiency that's been there for over 10 years) and heart failure.
She's got old-age wear-and-tear heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. That's different from heart failure with reduced EF. He noted her heart wasn't that bad, and got to wondering. Cellulitis had developed, which was being treated since last week.
He wondered if there was a blood clot that was actually the root cause, and ordered some deep ultrasounds.
Turned out she did had several clots, and that's been the problem this whole time.

The doc there said that this can be tricky. You think condition A is being caused by X, and X may be a big part of it, but something else could still be going on. Then you just go down that road, getting confirmation bias going on.
He was sort of fresh eyes on this problem. He just noticed the cellulitis wasn't that bad, he didn't think, yet a lot of redness. And her heart wasn't that bad relatively speaking, and so got to wondering.

He's got her on blood thinner pretty good now, breaking up the clot. However, this will be another tricky balance to maintain. She's got ITP, platelet count trying to crash. And they're treating that and I have found the right dosages of the stuff they treat that with.
And she's a fall risk on top of that. Adding blood thinners to that is not too good. So, there's an option to put a little filter thing in her vein going back to the heart to stop any future blood clot mess from getting back up to her heart and lungs. While not too big of deal, she is 96.
So, this another risk vs benefit equation to figure out with her.

I got interested in just how accurate that ISS docking simulator was, and had Grok go over it. Turns out the gravity model it uses (the complex tidal field) is pretty crude. Trying to do it accurately would be just too much for such a web-based program like that. It gives you some drift behavior, but it's not that accurate. The idea is just to give you some drifting behavior that annoys you enough as the real thing would.

Damnit, you did it again - got my nerd brain going.
I suspect the programmer optimized for the human problem rather than the physics problem. As you mentioned, complicated to code - get a believable drift to force one to fly/dock the way a real astronaut would. Perhaps not to reproduce orbital mechanics perfectly. Reproduce the mental workload to dock? I dunno - probabaly thinking that because I am certain I could not code it.

That's it, looks like. Give you enough annoyance factors to simulate the real thing, but the actual drift would be different. I also imagine the computational load would be pretty big, especially for a web application thing like this.
Asking Grok, the computational load for a high-fidelity tidal field simulation wouldn't be that bad on modern hardware, but when you add the graphics and other stuff, it's just much candy for a nickel for that web-based application.

Well, I think this is the bottom line on the simulator accuracy. If you're going to get to down to high gravitational accuracy, then there's other non-gravitational effects (drag, solar radiation pressure, venting from the ISS, which is going on all the time) that will affect things on the same order of magnitude. So, if you're going to be accurate with one thing, it's no good unless you're accurate with everything else.
And, then you'd need to start modelling the exact behavior of the Dragon's thruster, and the jitter and error in their behavior......
NASA's own flight simulators do all that. And they are big, expensive, and computationally intensive. So, if you were really going to dock to the ISS, you'd train on the fully Monty simulator. :-)

And Scampy, if your nerd brain is interested, the gravitational modelling for orbital proximity operations are called the Clohessy-Wiltshire (CW) equations.
A complication I wasn't even thinking of. Suppose we naively maintain an inertial attitude reference frame, to keep things simple, so there's no rotating frame effects. Well, from that frame, the ISS would rotate around use once per orbit, as well as the big ol' Erf looming close by.
We must use a rotating frame for these maneuvers for that reason, to keep the ISS stationary. And the CW equations are done in that rotating frame. So there's centrifugal and Coriolis terms in addition to the (time-varying) tidal tensor terms.

If you're interested in how this behaves, imagine you're in a circular, equatorial orbit around the Erf. This keeps things simple. Imagine at the starting point, the earth is below your feet. You maintain inertial attitude, that is, you're not rotating. One half orbit later, the Erf is now above your head. And when you complete one orbit, the earth is under your feet again.
If you want to keep the Erf fixed under your feet, you need to rotate at exactly your orbital period. One RPO, one revolution per orbit.
They call this LVLH attitude: Local vertical, local horizontal. On this ISS, up, radially, is the Z axis. The X-axis points along the direction of the orbit, and the Y-axis is normal to those.
And that is a rotating frame of reference, of course.

Now, imagine you have a buddy in orbit with you. He starts out a little below you, between you and the earth. Just a few feet below you, say. Imagine, you're both in the original pure inertial attitude configuration.
Over one orbit, you see your buddy below revolve around you! After on half orbit, his feet are now "above" your head, with the big ol' Erf above your head as well.
From your POV, your close buddy is orbiting around you. Sort of makes docking a bit aggravating, doesn't it?
Now, you go into LVLH mode. Your buddy stays below you and doesn't orbit, but guess what? He's now rotating! To you, he looks like he's spinning around. He's not really rotating, you are.
So, your buddy needs to start rotating the same as you. Now, it looks he's staying put.

And now, the final complication. When your buddy is below you, he's actually in a slightly lower, and therefore faster orbit. So his own LVLH rotation rate has to be every so slightly faster......
Over time, as you go around and around, your buddy is going to drift away relative to you because of that faster orbit. The closer you are initially, the slower that drift rate, and difference in relative rotation rate is. But it's there, and over time adds up.

Now, imagine it's the 1960s, and you're just working this out for the first time. Rendezvous and docking in orbit. And you're using 1960s technology.
It wasn't just the astronauts who needed the Right Stuff. It was the engineers, mathematicians, and physicists who needed it as well. You needed the Right Stuff in your particular area of expertise to make all this work.

A shot of the bride, a shot of the couple, a shot of the wedding party. 2 copies of bride pic (one for her mother), 3 copies of couple pic (one for each family), 9 copies of party (one for each member and one each for family). $70. Color would have been $175 IIRC.
We picked b&w. That extra $105 was almost a weeks pay which would pay a months rent and 2 weeks of groceries.

Buzz Aldrin's MIT Ph.D thesis was in orbital rendezvous and guidance techniques. They called him at NASA, not entirely affectionately, "Dr. Rendezvous".
In the early days, they naively underestimated these "orbital tidal effects" we'll call it. The reason was the earth's tidal field is very tiny. Close enough, it should be close to inertial free-space behavior. That's true, and it would be say in a radial free fall.
But in orbit, it's that fast rotation I was going on above that makes things far more significant. It's a small tidal field, but it's rotating around very fast, and that makes all the difference.

Buzz could have sort of an abrasive personality, and be quite a stickler for things. So you had him "lording over" you might say people on doing things right. Oh, look out, her comes Dr. Rendezvous, everybody stand at attention.
This wasn't any big deal really, it was just one of the little friction and irritations amongst them all.

If you want to keep the Erf fixed under your feet, you need to rotate at exactly your orbital period. One RPO, one revolution per orbit.

Yep, this can get you going in circles, literally. If you're interested, just draw a little diagram. You want to go around the earth, but you're not rotating as you go around.

You'll see you need to rotate him exactly 90 degrees, and in the same direction as the orbit.
If you're going around CCW, he needs to rotate CCW, and at the same rate as the orbit, one revolution around his axis per orbit. He's just like the Moon, keeping his same face, his feet here, pointed right at the earth as he goes around.

Excellent. Rotation and revolution together can get confusing. We're following a circular path around a center, and also rotating about our own axis.
In 3D space, these are different, and independent. On the ground, say driving a car in a circle about some point, we naturally rotate about our axis as we do that, because the steering naturally makes the nose point in the direction of travel.
But in 3D space, that doesn't have to apply.

This photograph is titled "Dinka Group at Pagarau Cattle Camp, Southern Sudan" and was taken by Sebastião Salgado in 2006.It is part of his celebrated "Genesis" series, which documents landscapes and communities that have remained largely unchanged.The image captures the close symbiotic relationship between the Dinka people and their cattle, including traditional practices such as using cowpat ash for insect protection.

You can't even try multiple objects seeing if they will drop one to fetch the other. No they will try to pick up all objects in their mouth and stand guard over the rest. Eventually you'll throw something and they give you a look, "do you expect me to get that? Why would you expect that?" and they're done.
Other dogs, they were born wanting to do it. I had a beagle that loved it but they love chasing things and bringing it back instinctively.

Last Friday on the way home from town I see a guy sitting back in the trees holding a Need Food sign.
Today he is still sitting in the same spot. I gotta do something, right? I call the sheriff's office. Nope, he's in the city limits. I get transferred to the police dept. They go check him out, tell him he can't ask for food or money .
I didn't help and probably made it worse. I should have just bought him some cheap burgers and left it at that.

Such a hard call. Around here, when I'm in the city, there's three or four at every major intersection, and in the grocery store parking lots. Who drops them there? Who picks them up? Where do they go? How much do they collect?
Gotta be in bad shape to stand in the heat or the cold all day, right? But it seems organized, and I don't know if they're legit or not. Was a time, I'd prefer to donate to a homeless shelter, but now that those frauds have been exposed, I don't know what to do to help homeless or desperate people.

In a sense. And for the greater good.
The Nancy Pelosi Institute for Representative Democracy, or NPI, will be a hub for research, teaching and civic engagement rooted in a shared commitment to advancing the public good. Through faculty research initiatives, undergraduate courses and a visiting fellows program, the institute will explore what impedes progress and how best to solve political problems, from polarization to the future of artificial intelligence.
...
Basing the institute at Berkeley means it will serve a student body where one-quarter of undergraduates are the first in their family to attend college and 27% receive federal Pell Grants, which are reserved for undergraduate students who display exceptional financial need.
Another dedicated, loyal 'army' for the cause.

Volunteer to cook at a soup kitchen. Me and Marine went every third Friday of the month and cooked from scratch a meal for 75-100 homeless
folks. It was organized by a patient of mine and I asked him if we could come and help. Marine needed 100 hours of community service as a graduation requirement.
It was a great experience for both of us. We prepped and cooked and served and cleaned up with about five other people. It was busy and chaotic and HARD. But. It was nice to get a smile

It was quite rewarding to think I was helping kids not have to be on the street.

This place only served homeless men. They had to already have a plan and placement in a program somewhere. They had been screened. Otherwise I would not have put my teenage boy in a position of having to defend his mom.
There were some scuffles. And some ornery patrons. But. The fact was we worked. We chopped onions and garlic and vegetables and fried chicken and pork chops and made lasagna from scratch.
Marine was the baker. He made the cookies and the pies and the brownies. And he LOVED working his ass off and having folks come back for seconds.
Not giving money. Giving time directly to the needy. Not up to me to judge if they are just working the system. Just work and serve.

That's one of the best scenes. Adams is instructed how to approach the throne by bowing deeply times going in, then three times going out without turning his back on the royal person. The king seemed really unfocused, staring off in the distance. I guess he later went insane.

Maybe today, but a long time ago a hobo was willing to work for his dinner while a bum was just a bum.
Posted by: Hadrian the Seventh at June 29, 2026 09:27 PM (O0L8i)
Yes. Hobos were migrant workers, back in the day when white people used to be migrant workers. Likely not the upper crust of society, but they did work for a living. At least sometimes.
Another difference is that hobos are mobile, pretty much by definition, while bums tend to stake out a fixed piece of turf and hang on to it.

Quick Hits
A radical, Israel-hating California teacher claimed she married a Gaza resident online to help him gain American citizenship -- and push her pro-Palestinian agenda. Laura Pinho, a dance teacher at Canoga Park Senior High School in California, announced her nuptials in a wild June 16 CODEPINK Zoom webinar called "Challenging Zionism In Our Schools." When CODEPINK activist Marcy Winograd congratulated her on her marriage and asked her to share details about her life, Pinho, 51, launched into a pedantic monologue about how she only married Salem S.E. Abu Amra to advance "Palestinian rights and freedoms." "I have power as an American citizen. I have a passport that I was just born with, and how can I live in this world if I don't make every effort to equalize the playing field on whatever way that I can," she said in the webinar, first uncovered by the North American Values Institute. Englewood New Jersey Mayor Michael Wildes -- who is also an immigration attorney and former federal prosecutor in the Eastern District of New York -- told The Post that Pinho is playing with fire. "She can be prosecuted criminally, brought up on federal conspiracy charges. Marriage fraud is one of the top five crimes you can perpetrate including terrorism and drugs. The fact that somebody would be foolish enough to say they actually did it makes it actionable for the federal government to investigate," Wildes said.By the way, she's cucking her child's father, whom she lives with.
Marrying someone to obtain a green card is federal crime and can carry a five-year prison sentence and up to a $250,000 fine, according to the Department of Justice. The odd couple tied the knot April 5 in Utah, which allows marriages to be conducted via Zoom, according to records posted online by the Utah County Clerk and obtained by Israeli nonprofit NGO Monitor. Utah allows virtual marriages in which both parties aren't in the same location so long as they have secured a Utah County marriage license and provide valid ID and two witnesses, who also don't have to be physically present in the state.
The bride has a 5-year-old child with Derek J. Reid, 51, an improv coach who also lives at her address, according to public records. Reid told The Post that he and Pinho were domestic partners and never officially married, and that they're currently separated and the two sleep in different rooms at the same address. He said he had no knowledge of her marriage to Abu Amra. ... "She's been radicalized -- I don't know anything about that... the crowd she runs with... I'm worried for her," Reid said. ... She claimed she first met her husband through mutual friends on Facebook and donated an undisclosed amount of money to him, and he proceeded to message her to say thanks. ... Pinho heads her school's Students for Justice in Palestine club and bragged about injecting her virulent anti-Israel politics into her dance curriculum. She posted video from a school cultural event in which her students performed the "Dabke Dance" -- a Palestinian folk dance that has come to be associated with terrorism. ... She boasts that she steered her students into radical anti-Israel protests. "Students have rights, powers and abilities. . . . they do the fighting, they do the protesting, and we are there to guide them. . . . that is the role that I have found as one of the co-sponsors actually for the Students for Justice in Palestine Club," she said. Pinho has a long history of antisemitic posts on social media.Obviously this far-left teacher is a big fan of Noted Conservative Influencer Candace Owens:

Easy rejection - marriages arranged solely for immigration purposes are not valid for immigration purposes.
Immigration officials have been known to separate couples and ask them questions (a classic is "which side of the bed do you sleep on").
Since the guy isn't even in the United States, he has zero chance of getting a spousal visa to enter the United States, unless INS completely screws up.

That is a sign of socio/psychopathy. He proffers weak to no caveats like, "I don't think I said that" or "I might've thought that but changed because ...". It's the conviction to sternly signal essentially "how dare you make such a claim and you shouldn't investigate further" that makes it so unsettling.

Someone my DIL knows is "separated" from her baby daddy. They are white people from MN (I know!!!). They have 3 kids, one a set of twins who are out of control. Baby daddy claims he was tricked into them. Mama told all of her dirty laundry all over the school. I honestly would have vanished before telling a soul.
Here's the issue: the mother (who is educated and attractive) does not have her name on the titles to the house or car. The car was repo'd. Somehow she coughed up money to stay in the house a bit longer.
As they are not married (common law?) there is no alimony, child support, etm. One or the other of her parents fly to help her once a month from MN. I have problems understanding why she does not move back. I admit to wanting her to. DIL feels sorry for her and is a nicer person than I am. I smile and say hi is all I can do.
I keep asking my husband how anyone could do this with a tiny grain of sense? What on earth? I was a crazy dingbat but I knew I should be married before kids and get my name on everything. Therefore I am smarter than one person on the planet.

In order to get a passport last year, as you describe, we were required to send originals to the State Department. I was VERY hesitant, since these were 60+ year old documents that could never be reproduced. I finally bit the bullet, because my wife really wanted to go on this international trip. I sent the originals to the State Department with her passport application by registered mail, and lo and behold, they were sent back within a month by registered mail and the passport was approved!
Purely anecdotal, and every situation is different, but I was for once impressed by the Federal Government!

Supreme Court May Decide Birthright Citizenship Case This Week; RNC Sues Colorado Over Allowing Birth Tourism Foreigners Who Never Even Set Foot in Colorado to Vote There
In the next few days, we may find out if we have a country or not.
May be. The Disney Groomer Corporation is sad.The U.S. Supreme Court is expected to weigh in this week on President Donald Trump's attempt to end birthright citizenship by executive order, a move which would upend more than a century of legal precedent and a national tradition that have said babies born on American soil are automatically American citizens. The ruling, one of the most highly anticipated of the year, is a major test of Trump's unprecedented assertion of presidential power in his second term with major stakes for millions of children and their families.If they meant to say that all persons born in the US were citizens, they would have just said that. Instead they added an additional qualification: "and subject to the jurisdiction thereof." That is, not subject to the jurisdiction of a foreign country, that is, not a citizen of another country.
What is birthright citizenship? Birthright citizenship is the idea that a child automatically becomes a citizen of the country in which they are born, regardless of the immigration status of their parents. It reflects the principle of jus soli, or right of the soil, extending citizenship purely on the basis of geographic location. By contrast, many countries extend citizenship under the principle of jus sanguinis, or right of blood, which is determined by the nationality of a child's parents regardless of the location of birth. How does birthright citizenship work in the U.S.? With few exceptions, all babies born on U.S. soil become U.S. citizens. For the approximately 3.6 million children born in American hospitals every year, the birth certificate alone has been the key to obtaining Social Security numbers, passports and early life benefits. Into adulthood, the birth certificate has been universally recognized as proof of citizenship for such things as voter registration, employment, home loans and military service. What does the Constitution say about birthright citizenship? The 14th Amendment, which was ratified in 1868 to address the legal status of former slaves and their descendants, says plainly that all "persons born or naturalized in the U.S. and subject to the jurisdiction thereof" are citizens.
Yes, they have done so by completely ignoring the qualification that you need to be born in the US and be subject to the jurisdiction of the US and not to another country. Will the Supreme Court agree, finally? I doubt it. Coney Barrett's inclinations are always towards the liberal status quo, unless the case is so clear that it overrides her inclinations. Kavanaugh and Gorsuch both side with liberals in many cases. And Roberts, of course, invented "it's a tax" out of whole cloth -- this had never even been argued by Obama, for the obvious reason that he swore up and down that Obamacare was not a new set of taxes -- to side with the liberal establishment after a brutal influence campaign directed at this weak, status-seeking man. Meanwhile, in Colorado, we see anew the problem with allowing automatic birthright citizenship. Many people who were born in the US only due to birthright tourism -- flying to the US within a week of delivering a baby to secure that baby US citizenship, before flying back home, usually to China --are permitted to vote in Colorado despite having never, ever actually been residents of Colorado. Not just birthright citizenship, but birthright permanent voting rights for foreigners living in foreign adversary nations.
Congress later codified the same language in federal citizenship law enacted in 1940. Courts and the government have repeatedly interpreted the 14th Amendment to unambiguously confer citizenship on all children born in the U.S., including babies of unauthorized noncitizens and temporary residents, such as asylum seekers, international students, tourists and seasonal workers.
The Republican National Committee on Friday filed suit in Denver District state court against Secretary of State Jena Griswold, challenging her office's policy of allowing overseas voters who have never set foot in Colorado to cast ballots in state elections. Filed just four days before Colorado's primary election, the suit argues Griswold's implementation of the state's overseas voter law runs headlong into the Colorado Constitution's residency requirement. Griswold is also a candidate for Colorado attorney general in the June 30 Democrat primary. "Residency is not inherited and cannot be established by proxy," the complaint reads. "An individual who has never personally made Colorado his or her home has not 'resided in this state' within the meaning of Article VII of the Colorado Constitution." Griswold's office claims that "if you are a United States citizen who has never lived in the United States, you can register to vote in Colorado if your parent, legal guardian, spouse, or domestic partner was a resident of Colorado before leaving the United States." The complaint argues that allowing residency for voting to pass by proxy through a parent or spouse is unconstitutional, regardless of what the legislature or the secretary of state says. Joining the RNC in the suit are Douglas County Clerk and Recorder Sheri Davis and U.S. Rep. Jeff Crank, who represents the Colorado Springs area. The plaintiffs argue the policy is a partisan issue as well as a legal problem, pulling no punches on this point: "it is well understood that the overseas civilian voting bloc, which is partly comprised of these illegal never-resident voters, overwhelmingly supports and votes for Democratic Party candidates."The latter from Stephen Green of Instapundit. Also from Green:

I see how this can gum up Senate and Presidential elections by handing control over to China — especially now since Colorado is party to NPVIC.
But how do Congressional districts work? Through random lottery, or do Chinese nationals with US birth certificates get their ballots marked and routed to Congressional Districts that need some padding?

Pretty sure that Trump is going to lose this one. SCOTUS may try to split the baby on their decision but I doubt it. The 14th amendment is ambiguous at best and we do not have the insights of the people who wrote it immediately after the civil war. We have some writings from that period that show they were only concerned with granting citizenship for freed slaves, but that's about it.

They cannot vote in the US, but they don't pay federal taxes (through a grant of Congress, actually. They probably would prefer to pay federal taxes: they are lower than American Samoa territorial taxes!).
So can an American Samoan come to, say, Michigan and vote? If two American Samoan people have a kid in Missouri: what is the kid: a national, or a citizen? Can a US citizen who moves to Pago Pago vote in American Samoan elections?
Some of these questions apply to Guam and Puerto Rico too, but I think American Samoa is unique.
More to the point: why should a chinese baby born in San Fran international airport just outside the baggage claim have more rights than an American Samoan?

A judge went against black-and-white of the Temporary Protection Act for Haitians. Congress, who can restrain the lower judiciary by law expressly said that the courts could not review an executive reversal of the Temporary protection, but a judge had to chime in because a Democrat sued Trump.

1994 wasn't really an occupation we just sort of let them empty the country out after the president was deposed. Whoever supported him made a mad scramble to get to the US in anything that could float. We were stationed at GITMO when the haitian boat lift happened. The Navy and Coast Guard brought over 15,000 smelly nasty haitains to GITMO that they had intercepted at sea.
We set up a tent city for them and they eventually were all able to go to the states on the taxpayers dime including the 1,500 of them that were HIV positive after a judge ruled they could no longer be held in "prison" just because they were hiv positive.

It really doesn't matter. China breached US databases ages ago. They don't even need to have an anchor baby, just add/modify records in the voting, SSI and other record databases.
Or simply bribe bureaucrats to make the child a citizen.

It is. Ambiguities should not be resolved as "What the text allows" but also "What is in the country's interest for it to mean?"
And I mean "interest" in the old-fashioned way. Not "Well, it is in our 'interest' to be more touchy-feely country that our abstract ideals argue we should be." But what is arguably in America's best economic and logistical interest.
I'm not against aspirations, I'm just against them in the same way that the Constitution should not be a feel-good suicide pact sense. Unless we as a people have explicitly decided this is what we are going to do.

I'm doing a little better since Trump closed up the borders and started throwing people out.
I watched a video put out by CBP of stopping an obviously pregnant woman trying to enter on a tourist visa and lying about the advanced state of her pregnancy, determining that she didn't have enough money for a hospital visit, and sending her home.

My son is from Guatemala. We had to jump through a lot of hoops to bring him here, and it took a fair bit of paperwork, plus being fingerprinted twice, paying $300 in crisp $20 bills to the American Consulate in Guatemala for his visa, legally adopting him again in the US, and then the granting of his Certificate of Citizenship.
We are not allowed to make a copy of that Certificate--for some reason that is illegal. Neither will they issue another one if it is destroyed somehow.
He still doesn't have a passport, because they required that we send his Certificate THROUGH THE MAIL to Louisiana for some special asshat to review it to issue a passport. They just couldn't do that in Alaska, or Wisconsin for that matter. We said NO.
If he needs one in the future, he will just have to take it in person to Louisiana or risk losing his only proof of citizenship.
He is a citizen, but you couldn't tell that from these idiots.

We had a guy in the Navy that was adopted by US parents. I think he was canadian. This guy's family did not know they had to do paperwork after the adoption to make him a citizen and we only found out when they did a background check on him that he wasn't a US citizen. They filled out the papers and got it rushed through the state department so we didn't have to kick him out of the Navy.

Those of us who rightfully castigated the federal courts for making up new laws from the bench can't complain too much when the Supremes point out that the Constitution makes clear which branch of government has determinate authority for election law. It isn't the Executive Branch.
The SC is stating that if mail in ballots cannot be counted if received after polls close on election day, then election law must contain the specific language to make that happen. Congress must pass the the Save America bill to save America.

However, Haitians in the United States hold legal presence through multiple separate and distinct immigration pathways, meaning they are not under just one blanket status. While many Haitian nationals were granted Temporary Protected Status (TPS) , a significant number entered the country legally through the Humanitarian Parole program.These two programs operate under entirely different legal frameworks and requirements.
Most Afghans who arrived in the U.S. following the fall of Kabul in 2021 were admitted under Humanitarian Parole. While some individuals later obtained Temporary Protected Status (TPS), the Department of Homeland Security officially terminated the TPS designation for Afghanistan on July 14, 2025. AND...
Ukrainians are currently under both Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and Humanitarian Parole, depending on how and when they arrived in the United States. These are two completely separate immigration programs.
They've all produced many children.

Another (Expected) Deadly Heat Wave Hits Europe, With Some Beginning to Doubt the Green Left's Dogmatic Opposition to Air Conditioning
How will they reverse their decades-old determination to let the elderly die in heat waves? As the BBC shows us: Simple! They'll now say that air conditioning is a sad but necessary response to global warming!Air conditioning creates political divide after France records hottest day With temperatures soaring, France is being forced to re-think its longstanding reservations about one possible answer to climate change: air-con. This week debate about la clim (climatisation) has once again burst out, with Marine Le Pen on the populist right urging a mass subsidised roll-out and traditionally hostile Greens conceding that some air-conditioning may now be inevitable. Currently the country has a low take-up, with only 25% of households equipped with an air-con unit. In Spain and Italy the figure is 50%, and in the US and Japan 90%. French hospitals and schools are also only rarely equipped. Thousands of schools have had to shut this week, and medical and nursing staff complain of conditions fast becoming intolerable. But with temperatures nudging 40C - Tuesday was France's hottest day on record - there has been a rush to buy portable air-conditioning appliances, just to let children enjoy a few hours in class, or for suffocating apartment-dwellers to make it through the night. And more and more, it seems, long-standing opponents of air-conditioning - mainly on the environmentalist left - recognise that it is bound to be part of the country's response to global warming. This week the head of the Ecologists party Marine Tondelier broke something of a taboo when she said that air-conditioning would be needed in schools and hospitals. "There are places where we just can't do without it now," she said. Her break with what she called "anti-clim dogma" is significant because until now the Green movement in France has regarded air-conditioning as the worst of solutions to climate change.Germany also doesn't have "air con" in hospitals, including in cardiac care units, where you'd think a hospital would want patients to be as stress-free as possible. In fact, in Germany, they're telling family members of heart attack victims to bring in their own ice-packs for patients recovering from a coronary.
They're limiting sales of alcohol to try to reduce the rates of heat-related hospitalizations:
Shoppers desperate to escape Europe's brutal heat wave stormed a French store for air conditioners and fans, shoving and scrambling for the last cooling units. The chaotic scenes unfolded this week at a store in Chambray-les-Tours, where dozens of people waited outside before rushing through the doors as the security shutter rolled open, according to The Sun. Footage on social media shows shoppers elbowing their way through the crowd and clambering over one another to snatch portable air conditioners and fans from the shelves.
Within seconds, the display had been stripped nearly bare. The buying frenzy comes as much of Western Europe swelters through a record-breaking heat wave that has pushed temperatures above 104 degrees Fahrenheit in parts of France, Spain, and neighboring countries. The extreme heat has already taken a deadly toll. French Sports Minister Marina Ferrari posted on X that at least 55 people have drowned across France as residents sought relief from the soaring temperatures in rivers, lakes and other waterways. Among the most heartbreaking cases was the death of a 3-year-old boy who became trapped inside a family car in Saint-Gratien, outside Paris, on Wednesday, authorities said. The child climbed into the vehicle after his father told him to take a nap, but the car's child-lock system engaged, trapping him inside as outside temperatures climbed above 85 degrees. He was discovered about 45 minutes later but could not be revived.
This is pure European neofeudalism: The EU commission wants to show that its doing its part to reduce "global warming" by turning off AC in part of the building. Specifically, the eight lower floors where the plebes work. The top seven floors where the elites work will have full AC:
"We are reaching a saturation point in hospital facilities," Paris police chief Patrice Faure said Thursday.
Pieter Cleppe
@pietercleppe The EU Commission in Brussels has shut off airco, but only for the lower floors, where the lower ranks work: "It's like feudalism," a Commission official working on a lower level of the Berlaymont, granted anonymity to speak freely, told POLITICO on Friday, referring to the fact that upper floors housing commissioners got to keep their AC on. A second official agreed it was a "disgrace."
The European Commission's headquarters was forced to shut down its air-conditioning system on Friday due to the heat wave. Staff working at the Berlaymont building received a text at midday, reading: "BERL -- URGENT -- Due to extreme weather conditions, forced shut down of air cooling system from floor 1 to 7 for the rest of the day." The 13-story building is home to Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, her 26 commissioners and about 3,000 staff. Von der Leyen works on the 13th floor, and most of her commissioners' offices are housed on floors eight or above.

Swamp coolers can work very well in dry climates, although they can spread dangerous mold spores and other things that grow on the cooling pad.
Unfortunately, a lot of low education poor people in humid places have swamp coolers. They don't seem to understand it's a terrible solution for their humid location.

In the older days, a similar situation would have everyone sleeping outside, or opening up windows like in the movie "Rear Window". In Chicago too many elderly were too afraid of crime to leave home or open up windows and died.
The next year or so an almost identical situation happened and the city was proactive in getting elderly free transport to malls and airconditioned areas and very few deaths were attributed to the heat.

You get more used to hot weather and adapt to it so its less awful. You stop doing stuff during the hottest part of the day (siesta!). You leave windows open all night when its cooler and shut them in the morning to try to keep it somewhat cooler inside. You sleep outdoors or on a breezeway porch when you can. You take trips to get out of town to the mountains or the beach for cooler air. You sprinkle the lawn and play in the sprinkler. You dress as cool as you can. You had fans all over to help move the air around so its a little cooler.
Like Axeman said, it sucked but you could make it.

I can handle cold rooms but not hot rooms. I would die, too, without AC. The insanity of hospitals floors me. Schools without AC would lead to anarchy quickly.
UK demanding AC units be removed is just the start after being arrested for memes. I will be watching.
They found AC and freedom in the USA for our 250th Birthday. They found university football stadiums seating over 80k in air conditioning. They found free refills, Waffle House,Walmart and Bucees and ice in their drinks! The long hot days will exacerbate their homesickness for the USA.

I've been to the interior of Florida in the middle of summer. It's absolutely miserable. The "dry heat" line is a cliche, but it's absolutely correct. Dry heat is far superior to humid heat.

Some cynical types are suggesting that not having AC around kills off the elderly and sickly so they are less a burden on their "free" healthcare systems. And I think that they want people to be miserable and suffer in the heat so the global warmening thing is more believable.

Agree, sort of after growing up in the South and living in the West.
However, I learned that the Arizona heat is oven heat and prefer sweating vs it evaporating before you cope. I'd rather sweat than bake under the broiling sun.

There are a number of reasons why Euros don't have near as much or as good A/C. But whatever is going on, it's an Article of European Faith that any deficiency is America's Fault, and it's also not a deficiency because it is Better Than How Those Louts Do It.
This is like saying "Here are the people embracing the unfashionable American preference for not having malaria." This shit ain't a choice, Pierre. If you Euros had the wherewithal to catch up to 1970s America, you'd be sitting in your nicely chilled pied-a-terre, sipping wine and dick, and ruminating on how A/C was actually a French idea in the first place.

It is the reason for the siesta. That aside, many didn’t survive the heat and the AC was ultimately invented to address that need. Here in the historic homes turned museums, you can see all kinds of really cool house fan contraptions to bring a breeze through. It is also why old houses in the south have sleeping porches.

Eh, we're pretty adaptable. You spend just a marginal period of time in a place that is HOT, or the opposite COLD, and you adjust. It took me about 3 winters when I returned to the Mid-Atlantic states from northern New England to start wearing winter coats again.
The worst times are the transition..late spring to early summer. But after that people adjust and the Summer heat is an afterthought. Extreme events are an inconvenience, but rarely life threatening unless you do something stupid.
BTW, those of you without AC....get a window fan (one that slides into the sill slot. It does two things...improves air circulation, and will pull in cooler night air in the evening. Also, use your ceiling fans in the winter, not the summer. Hot air rises...it just blows it down to you in the summer.. You use the ceiling fans in the winter.

When I was 18 and 19 I did contract construction work in the summer there. I would never feel myself sweat, but at the end of the day my arms and my clothes would be caked with dried salt.

Sweating and stinking was such a virtue and status marker that when Willis Carrier's first "air conditioner" was formed specifically to act as a dehumidfier, it never occurred to anyone that mechanically cooled air could be something to desire.
In fact, ice vendors rallied against mechanical cooling because they saw it as a threat to their business model.
The Amish condemned even the fan because of Amos 4:13 "He [God]...who creates the wind..." meant that it was only God's domain to make a breeze.

My grandfather decided before I was born that I would never have to suffer without AC and installed a window unit in my nursery.
The only other time I was without AC was in college and as a newlywed in the Intermountain West with 100yr old houses. When I was hugely preggers with #1, my husband got a window unit for our bedroom that summer or he probably never would have slept at all.
I don't even care if AC is the cause of "climate change" and my fault! Take that, Greta, how dare you?

Some mewling French functionary says the US bears significant blame for the heat wave.
So I wonder: how long does carbon dioxide remain in the atmosphere to cause heat waves that make mewling French functionaries mew? I've seen things that say that half is absorbed by the ocean or vegetation in 20-30 years. So, because our output is declining and lots of what we generated is no longer around, shouldn't he be blaming the heathen Chinee, who pump out more than three times as much?

Many modern data centers now partner with local municipalities to use recycled, non-potable wastewater for their cooling operations instead of drawing from drinking water supplies.
Facilities in drought-prone areas are moving toward dry cooling towers and closed-loop systems to minimize evaporation, though this often comes with a trade-off of higher electricity usage.

In fact, in Germany, they're telling family members of heart attack victims to bring in their own ice-packs for patients recovering from a coronary.
-----------------
I would not live in Germany if you paid me. What is even worse is that they, like the EU bosses in Brussels, are hypocrites. I was in Berlin in August 2024 and the hotel I stayed at was air conditioned. This tells me that they know tourists and visitors will not stand for un-airconditioned hotels but their schweinherds deserve no better.

Vehicle Air Conditioning Fines:
While there is no fine for excessive home use, you can face a surcharge/fine for using air conditioning in a stationary car. Under UK emissions laws, leaving your car engine running while parked just to keep the AC on is considered unnecessary engine idling.

Is that really true, that 90% of homes here have a/c? I would have guessed far fewer. In the New England town where my husband is from, no one we know has it. As a kid we lived in both Northern and Southern California and neither house had it. My brother and his family live outside L.A. and don't have it. My other brother lives outside Seattle and they don't have it.
Or does the 90% include room-size a/cs? Maybe that's it.

Prevailing winds come from the inland in the US, so the Gulf stream is not hugely important in weather here. Now, it certainly keeps Europe from being Permafrost, seeing how it is so far North.

Having less than one-half of one percent of your state's surface covered in water comes in handy sometimes.
That sounds like a stat that has to be made up, but it's true.
.4%.

Unbelievable that hospitals and schools other public buildings don't have AC in Europe. Aren't they all nuclear powered anyway? Surely they could pump it up a little.

The US has more extreme temperatures and more extreme weather. We've developed machines and technology to cope with it. (Western) Europe is just a different place. More moderate in both. They've never seen the need to plan for extremes. They've sneered at us for doing so and now they're feeling the effects of not doing so.

American hospitals are DOPE AF.
==============
You'd want to rent a room in them. One hospital near me has a giant lounge with a picture gallery and giant leatherette couches specifically for crashing on. I was visiting someone post-op, and a music student from a local high school came in and played some flute pieces for her. It had a pullout couch in the room so a visitor could doze or even in some cases spend the night. The food was great. A dietician came in and planned her meals with her personally. A physical therapist came in and kindly walked her around the floor.

Just ran the numbers on that with an online psychrometric calculator thingy. That comes out to dew point of 35F and a wet bulb temp of 58F.
Theoretically, the wet bulb is how low a swamp cooler could lower the temp. Of course, it can't reach that low efficiently (and you wouldn't want 100% air anyway). But that shows under those conditions a swamp cooler would work like a charm.

What we used to do, when we didn't have AC was take a drive in the car. The AC worked there and you could cool down with a short drive.
Posted by: Notsothoreau at June 29, 2026 05:41 PM (bkuEU)
Looking this up, a decent swamp cooler can get the output air temp down to about 85% of the dry bulb and wet-bulb difference.

JD Vance Appears on Bill Maher
Before that: Anderson Cooper, who was almost certainly about to be let go by Bari Weiss for being an expensive semen-hued Nepo Boomer who contributes nothing to the network, now lets it leak that he doesn't want to work for the Jew anyway.
And I don't mean that he doesn't want to work for Weiss at 60 Minutes, which is already a fait accompli. He already didn't sign a renewed contract, probably after Weiss offered him a lowball, "I want you to reject this" kind of offer. I mean he says he wants to leave CNN, too. Which is also probably a fait accompli.CNN star Anderson Cooper has privately told colleagues he does not want to work for CBS News boss Bari Weiss if she is ultimately put in charge of the cable network following Paramount Skydance's proposed acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, according to a report. Cooper has made his feelings known internally as Paramount chief executive David Ellison weighs whether to give Weiss oversight of both CBS News and CNN once the roughly $111 billion merger closes, the New York Times reported. Cooper's reported opposition comes as other top CNN figures are also signaling resistance to a potential Weiss-led future. According to the Times, CNN chief executive Mark Thompson has told Paramount officials he will not share oversight of the network with another executive, while longtime anchor Jake Tapper recently met with Ellison in Los Angeles. The Times said it was not known what the two men discussed.What they almost certainly discussed is the fact that they're making $3-7 million per year to deliver moderate YouTube-level ratings, and how they could either reduce that salary or increase those ratings.
The report says Ellison remains supportive of Weiss despite months of upheaval at CBS News, where she has overseen a sweeping overhaul of the news division since taking over as editor-in-chief last year. One option under consideration would pair Weiss with a seasoned television executive responsible for the operational and financial side of the combined news organizations while she retained editorial oversight, according to the Times. ... Not long afterward, Cooper also chose not to renew his contract with "60 Minutes," ending a nearly two-decade run as a correspondent for the iconic newsmagazine while remaining at CNN.Now on to Bill Maher: Maher made the claim that Trump hadn't done anything about Iran's nuclear program. Now, I'm very dissatisfied with Trump's jerky prosecution of this non-war, but I'd never say he did nothing about Iran's nuke program. When Vance challenged him on this daffy claim, Maher resorted to typical shitlib CNN talking points that because Trump had not sent in ground troops to seize "the dust" (the buried radioactive residuum of Iran's nuke program), this means that Trump had effectively done nothing at all and Iran's nuke program was still at full force. What a stupid, hackish, stupid (it's stupid doubly) thing to say.
Vice President JD Vance argued during an interview with Bill Maher Friday that "America wins" even if Iran refuses to sign a deal that would end the war. "If we don't make the final deal, their nuclear program is still destroyed, they're still much weaker as a country," Vance said during his appearance on "Real Time with Bill Maher." "So my attitude is America wins either way," he added. Vance noted that President Trump tasked US negotiators with "something that frankly, nobody in 47 years of dealing with the Iranians has done, which is offer them an opportunity to fundamentally transform how they behave with the West." "If they're willing to change, we're willing to change, too," the vice president said, adding, "If they're not willing to change, we still fundamentally have all the cards. "I think it's a good place for us to be." The 41-year-old veep jetted off to Switzerland last weekend for high-stakes meetings with Iranian representatives mediated by Pakistani and Qatari officials. During his face-to-face remarks with Tehran's top negotiators last Sunday, Vance declared the Trump administration's goal was to "transform our relationship" with Iran.Of course, Iran once again fired on a ship in the strait. As anyone not part of the Trump Administration said they would.
"What the president has asked us to do is turn over a new leaf to transform our relationship with the people of Iran, and to extend an outstretched hand that says to the people of Iran that if your leadership is willing to give up being a driver of regional instability," Vance said. "If they are willing to give up nuclear weapons ambitions for the long term, then the United States is willing to fundamentally transform our relationship with that country," he went on. "That is certainly our goal."
Not that I care about Bill Maher, but he did say that the left's headlong embrace of communism, Third Worldism, Hamas-ism, and antisemitism might make him vote Republican in 2028.
The MOU between President Trump and Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian was meant to stop fighting and kick off 60 days of talks for a grand deal to end Tehran's nuclear program. On Friday, hours before Vance's sit-down with Maher, Trump claimed Iran had violated the cease-fire after an Iranian drone struck Singaporean-flagged ship M/V Ever Lovely. The attack came after Iran warned vessels to ignore a US-approved shipping lane through the Strait of Hormuz, along the Omani coast, instead hoping for the ships to use a passage of their choosing. Following the "foolish violation," US forces conducted military strikes in Iran, targeting Iranian drone storage facilities and coastal radar sites. On Saturday, Iran claimed it had struck targets linked to the US in response to Friday's strikes but didn't identify the targets, according to Reuters.
OvertonMaher of course had to virtue signal about he and his fellow liberals are completely honorable about accepting the results of elections and demanded to know why Trump and Vance won't "concede" the 2020 election.
@overton_news Jun 27 WHOA: Bill Maher looks JD Vance dead in the eye and says his "vote is in play" for 2028. Maher openly admitted to Vance that if socialists take over the Democratic Party, he's likely voting for him or Rubio. MAHER: "Like, if this is where the Democratic Party is going, where this Democratic socialist, this obsession with Israel, with the Jew hating, they don't believe in capitalism, no prisons..." "If this is where they're going, my vote is in play." VANCE: "Okay, I like to hear that." MAHER: "It actually always has been. Every year, I don't make my decision by who has an R or a D, I actually always came to the conclusion that the Democrat was probably better and voted for them." "And Trump can't run again and he'd be a little too exciting for me anyway." "So it's either going to be you or Rubio."
RedWave PressVideo here.
@RedWavePress
Bill Maher: "Can you tell me you will do that? Will you bring us back to the middle at least on that, where we concede elections, where it's not either one of those two options?" Vice President JD Vance: "So this is where I'm probably going to lose you here." Bill Maher: "That happened about eight minutes ago." Vice President JD Vance: "I don't think that we should not concede elections, but I don't think that's what's going on... The president and I have talked a lot about this." "Is it true that large technology companies, some of whom have financial interests that exist outside the United States of America, were they censoring information in the run-up to an election?" "The biggest criticism I had of the 2020 election is that you had technology companies that were quite literally censoring negative information about the left and promoting negative information about the right." "If the First Amendment says we have a free and open debate and the American people judge on that free and open debate, the sense in which I think the election in 2020 was rigged, I'm sorry, is that you had technology companies that were putting their thumb on the scale in a way that completely obliterated the real open exchange of ideas."
In 2017, Maher vigorously agreed with special guest Keith Olberman that Trump was an "illegitimate" president and only in office due to Russian interference.
Bill Maher told JD Vance that the right has to stop claiming that an election (2020) was illegitimate because they lost.

I do not see JD Vance as MAGA, I think he's a lot more Republican than populist but he seems a lot better than most of the people we've been offered as presidential candidates in the past.
I know people really like Rubio but he's NOT presidential material, he's soft, he's malleable. He can accomplish a lot if he's properly led but he is not a leader.

He's very good at blowing up the media's framing of things.
Regarding the rest of it, I think everyone in the Trump Administration knows Iran aims to misbehave and not in the sexy Summer Glau/Morena Baccarin kind of way.
Trump's made a show several times now of doing what Democrats claim he should do even though everyone knows it'll fail and not because of him. Once it's failed in 4K for everyone to see, he then can claim he tried and do what he actually wanted. I think there's a lot of that in play with Iran, combined with "gas needs to stay cheap until November".

Dual Citizenship (a Clinton thing, IIRC), was always a bad idea. How can you be loyal to two countries if a war were ever to erupt between the two of them?
Posted by: jim (in Kalifornia) at June 29, 2026 02:46 PM (l3cgK)
Like Affirmative Action in college admissions, dual citizenship is bad for those who receive it. In the former case, they end up struggling with an elite program they were not really equipped for, instead of succeeding in a lesser one. In the latter, they feed narratives of divided loyalties.
Robert Stacy McCain specifically avoided learning the banjo, since he knew the stereotypes of Southerners. (Also because girls like guitars.) Similarly, I think it would behoove American Jews to avoid things like dual citizenship or the various forms of anti-White, pro-degen activism. There will always be haters, but there's no need to play into the prejudice.

Now you are catching on. This isn’t about the US or Iran being non-agreement capable. It’s about the US negotiating with the factions in Iran that want to emerge and the other factions who don’t want the conflict to end.
So, you sign an agreement which triggers a response from some IRGC dickhead (remember Mosaic???!!!)… the US cries foul, bombs the shit out of the assets that lit up. The “Iranians” go through the motions of being pissed off…
And then the shelling stops. They both agree to talks again, cross another IRGC/London/Paris redline…

Yes - once enriched you'd want it in an oxide powder form or as metallic U so you don't have it leaking your expensive nuclear material through the ventilation.

Not that I care about Bill Maher, but he did say that the left's headlong embrace of communism, Third Worldism, Hamas-ism, and antisemitism might make him vote Republican in 2028.
Maher is lying through his teeth. He's going to pull a Camille Paglia, spending the whole election season saying nice things about the GOP candidate while rhetorically curb-stomping the Donk for being a commie cocksucker. Then throwing away his vote on the Green Party candidate because ewwwww, Republicans have cooties.

Lot of it is locked up in trust funds and foundations which in turn employ the spawn if they want a make believe job. One trick is to have large life insurance policies on the ancestors that pay off to the juniors when the ancestors shuffle off the human coil. That means tax free passage of assets.

At the end of the day, in the voting booth, it is hard for perverts who have adopted that as an identity--Maher as manwhore and Paglia as a professional lesbian, to go against their past history of voting for big D to stick it to the Christians. These are people that grew up as oppositionists to their belief they were oppressed by Christians and thus cannot escape their own pasts that are rebuked in the Scriptures.

The other reason (which follows directly from the first) is that Vance can do the Trump dance, saying one thing while doing another, in a way that Rubio cannot. As a leader, the VP can talk sweet while barraging them with missiles, or make incendiary statements while the ships move (or don't) like everything's normal. As a diplomat, the SoS's legitimacy with all the *other* countries in the world depends on his perceived consistency.
So, my hypothesis is that Trump's strategy to avoid having his last two years hampered by performative 'impeachments' and 'investigations' is to keep gas prices low by out-crazying the Mad Mullahs through the midterms, keeping them constantly off-balance without ever teetering into outright war.

The usual cover is 'investigating' which freezes any information release and dissemination. And if Epps is an informant/asset, who knows whatever areas that he has been doing that. Apparently Epps had big tax debt problems that went away.

Maher is virtue-signaling to both sides now.
He "never" votes R or D, it just so happens the the "best candidate" turns out to be D.
And he always had people "from his side" going on his program when he was countable as a sounding board and echo chamber for the Democratic party.
If Dems stopped coming on his show, guess why, Bill?

What the press and others seem not to mention is that Iran has lost two complete sets of leadership, is devoid of an air force and navy and is in total economic collapse. This doesn't tend give a country a cohesive chain of command and leaves opportunities for hard-core Islamic Guard unit leaders to try to influence the negotiations or destroy them completely. Elements of the Iranian Army, the business elite and even some more rational Islamic Guard people are coming around to the US point of view, but there are those who would rather die than surrender.

Here's a response to "I didn't leave the Democrats, the Democrats left me."
That implies that if they just backed the train up a little bit, you'd hop right back on board.
So all the stuff before that, that stuff that inevitably lead to them "going too far," you were fine with that.
So, it's not that you think through your political positions, it's only when your personal boundaries are crossed.
Like, "gay marriage is ok" but "forcibly sterilizing children" is where you get off the train.
But if they just back up to "bake the cake" you'll get back on board.
And when it chugs ahead back toward the inevitable "forcible sterilization of children" will you get off the train?
No.

Homosexuality is about as controllable as crazed monkey sex. It is the mark of adulthood to be able to control your sexual desire by behaving honorably (i.e. keeping it in your pants) but the homosexuals don't believe they can do that.
Stunted emotional and social skills are the clear mark of those who don't really know what their penises are for.

Public Health, epidemiology, was no match against psycho faggotry. Thus a buggery epidemic ensued. They simultaneously claimed AIDS didn’t exist, AND, they purposefully tried to acquire.
California notably decriminalized the purposeful transmission of a deadly communicable venereal disease, as well as blood donations from infected patients.
Nice, huh?

But that's what we did when we made the practice equal to the predilection and just as protected as it.
I argued frequently that the progs were trying to bootstrap the "unequal protection against being treated differently" into the 14th amendment, to slowly merge "equal protection" into "equal treatment" as long as you could get a judge to buy that "X is a choice roughly equivalent to Y", and if decision X doesn't get the treatment equal to decision Y, you have failed "equal protection" to treat putative "like" decisions as equal.

That's a good analogy. If westerners want to understand the IRGC's relationship to the Regular Army, and its function inside Iran, it is almost exactly analogous to the relationship between the SS and the Wehrmacht. Maybe even a bit more extreme, since the Iranian Artesh (regular army) appears to be defensive only, and is very much the poor stepchild in their system.

Yeah, let's look at that 1% figure more closely. In recent polls spanning Lebanon, Egypt, and the Palestinian territories, roughly 25% to 40% of respondents expressed that such tactics could be at least sometimes justified. And, what are the "tactics" they are referring to? Suicide bombings, ambushes, rocket launches, rape....etc.
It's the new math. The media will pound us over the head with that 1%, but rarely regurgitate the actual polls on the issue. And even then 1% of 2 Billion is 20,000,000 bad eggs.
