Appeals Court Rejects Biden's Second Attempt to Block the Release of His "Elderly Man with a Poor Memory" Interview Tapes
You're not experiencing deja-vu. Yes, there was a story like this recently, but that was the district court judge rejecting Biden's plea for an injunction blocking the release of the tapes, supposedly to protect his "privacy" by keeping secret the tapes of his conversations with his ghostwriter, with whom he shared classified information.
These tapes were in turn subpoenaed by Robert Hur and were evidence -- proof, actually -- that Biden both shared classified information with someone not cleared to hear it and that he knew he was illegally retaining classified documents, because he explicitly says something like "I'm not supposed to still have these" in the tapes. Hur didn't prosecute, of course, even though Biden was guilty by his own admission. Hur claiming that no jury would convict this hapless husk because his brains were plainly mush. (To which I say: Put me on the jury and I'll send this decrepit muppet to the fucking gulag.) Biden rushed out an appeal, and the Appeals Court told him that the public's interest in the actual truth trumped his fake right to keep the truth from the public in the interest of "privacy." One might say that presidents have a very low expectation of privacy -- particularly when the tapes sought to keep private include admissions of breaking serious federal laws.- A federal appeals court has rejected a request by Joe Biden to block the release of audio recordings and transcripts of his interviews with a memoir ghostwriter before he was elected president. A divided three-judge panel from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit suspended its decision until Aug. 3 to allow more time for Biden to consider another appeal. The panel's 2-1 ruling late Monday found there is a "substantial" public interest in disclosing the material that Biden wants to keep under wraps. Redactions to the recordings would help protect Biden's privacy, the majority noted.Redactions? What?
And whose appointee was the judge who rushed to defend this elderly man with a poor memory?
"We conclude that any remaining incursion on personal privacy from disclosure of the now-redacted materials likely does not outweigh the public interest in disclosure," the ruling says.
Judge Florence Pan, who was nominated by Biden, a Democrat, wrote a dissenting opinion in which she said Biden has shown a "substantial privacy interest" in keeping the material hidden. "The conversations at issue took place in Biden's home, and the recordings of them were obtained by the government in the course of a criminal investigation that did not lead to an indictment," she wrote.The "conversations" -- in which Biden confessed to knowingly retaining classified documents -- took place at his home and this is why the tapes of this questioning are "private"? What? This is the best this DEI Dina can do? Your honor, I want the murder weapon suppressed, because it was found at my home, and that makes it "private."
Yes, they were "candid, private conversations intended to remain private" except that they were also had in furtherance of writing a memoir for Biden, intended for public publication. (Hey, publication has the word "public" right in it.) That doesn't scream "private" to me.
The appeal also was heard by D.C. Circuit Chief Judge Sri Srinivasan and Judge Gregory Katsas. Srinivasan was nominated by President Barack Obama, a Democrat who chose Biden as his vice president. Katsas was nominated by President Donald Trump, a Republican who lost to Biden in 2020 but was elected again to the White House in 2024.
Mark Zwonitzer, who worked with Biden on two memoirs, 2007's "Promises to Keep" and 2017's "Promise Me, Dad," interviewed him at his home in 2016 and 2017. Biden's lawyers say the conversations were candid, personal and intended to remain private.
... Pan noted that the majority is effectively ruling in favor of immediately disclosing the material by denying Biden's request for an injunction pending appeal. "That, of course, will moot this case," she wrote.Ever hear the sound of documents as they rev up to be released? They go vrooom, vrooom. You gotta hear it, Jack!

Wednesday Morning Rant
The way this has worked in the past, what with "comity" and all that jazz, is that when there is a vacancy, the district court would consult with the Attorney General and appoint someone tolerable to the Administration to the interim job. That was tradition, not law. As with all comity-based traditions, it ceased to exist under Trump. This law became a means of subverting the appointment of US Attorneys. If the president can't get his man in place in time - and the Senate is quite good at slow-walking things when they want to, or just outright rejecting confirmations and "comity" be damned - then the district court gets to appoint their own man instead. This is a nice, neat and legal means of completely end-running the executive.
While there is nothing to stop the district court judges from putting their man into place without any oversight, Trump has made it clear that this does not mean that he is powerless to intervene in this process. The process has now changed in fact, though nothing has changed in law. It now goes like this:1. A US Attorney vacancy opens
2. The 120-day period expires
3. The district court judges appoint their man as they see fit
4. Trump fires the newly-appointed USA before he can start work Though Trump has been aggressive in extending the "I can fire anyone I please, anytime I please" operating environment as far as possible, the President has the authority to fire US Attorneys anyway. He is making an example of these interim US Attorneys, and is on his third firing this year. Back in February, it happened twice. On February 12, the Northern District of New York appointed their man, Donald Kinsella to a vacancy created when a federal judge ruled that Trump's choice, John Sarcone, was in the role unlawfully. Kinsella was fired by email before he could start work. Days later, another district court tried the same play, this time in Virginia. On February 20, the Eastern District of Virginia appointed their man, James Hundley, as US Attorney. They did so without discussing anything with the Administration, taking the opportunity to slide their preferred prosecutor into the position. They appointed him and swore him in and then, hours later, he was fired. Acting Attorney General Blanche announced it on X:
Here we go again. EDVA judges do not pick our US Attorney. POTUS does. James Hundley, you’re fired!Twice may not make a trend, but it didn't stop there. Last week, a district court tried the same play yet again, this time on the other side of the country. After the existing interim US Attorney's term expired, the Western District of Washington appointed and swore in their man, Roger Rogoff, to replace Trump's interim prosecutor Neil Floyd. Like before, the President fired the new interim US Attorney within hours of his appointment by the district judges. The Western District of Washington may have done this deliberately to make a test case after what happened in New York and Virginia. Per The Hill:
Rogoff has reportedly retained legal counsel that specializes in employment law, setting up the possibility of a formal legal challenge that could set the stage for the courts to settle the bounds of presidential power over U.S. attorneys.Perhaps so, but it will be weak. While a weak case never stops the courts from ruling however they please, the new rules are clear for now: the President's man serves, or nobody does. District Court appointments may be allowed by law, but that is no longer an excuse for them to simply appoint their man against the President's will. When they do, Trump hasn't hesitated to dust off his catchphrase and tell the usurper, "You're Fired!"

They are in on the plot. Blue slip policy is what is keeping any Trump District appointee from being seated because Grassley refuses to schedule Judiciary Committee votes without the Democrats senators giving their okay on Trump nominees. Goes the same for district court nominations.
And this rule has little or nothing to do anymore, if it ever did, with advise and consent that the Senate has a role. Same with their single person 'holds' on nominees like dead duck Cornyn just pulled.

Judges used to not be so blatant about being partisan but like the DSA and elected Dems, the recent DEI judges have went YOLO and their older Clinton and Obama judges have joined in.
But the statute is old, it is unlikely that the judges constitutionally should have this power because district attorneys are major officers of the US, not minor (so Congress cannot vest by law appointment to these offices in anyone other than the President), and so on. Last time such a law was upheld by Scotus was the independent counsel law which is now defunct.

Stuart v Laird, 1802. The easiest way to get rid of lower court judges is to reorganize the federal courts or to drown them in new appointees. The more subtle way is to deny them resources like law clerks, marshals, etc. Another is to return to three judge panels for any important decision--that tends to stomp on extreme opinions.
But district court judges nor even Court of Appeals judges are NOT guaranteed a life term by the Constitution, Scotus is but they are not. They get the life term via statutes, not the Constitution. That means Congress could change the terms for new appointees.

Funny thing about that if you actually read the Warhammer lore, the Emperor is a lying asshole that told everyone that there was no religion/nothing outside of the physical world while he knew that wasn't true.
He even has a debate with a monk before killing him where the monk tells him if the Emperor destroys religion it will come back but in a bad way...

In a way, that's a positive development because it shows that everyone knows "teen takeover" means "feral black thugs destroying things." That euphemism ain't fooling anyone.

I bet the masses of peons in Warhammer 40K are unaware of that little factoid. Probably only a handful of people in the entire Imperium are aware.

I would agree. The US is not the original republic as it was in 1787, but also not the republic it was in 1820, 1866, 1900, 1930, and even 2016. The forms of a republic remain but how current Americans interpret them and what they do changes.

...and ironically, despite going to great pains to disavow the idea that he was any sort of a god, he's venerated as such by the official Imperial cult regardless.
The depths of his failure on so many fronts by his own hubris and failure to anticipate how his actions would reverberate are the cornerstone of that setting's tragedy.

He might find that the Senate bill is dead in the House. Thune is a pretty stupid majority leader so far and I don't think he will last in the job even if he keeps his Senate seat in 2028. The last Senate party leader to lose reelection was, ta da, Tom Daschle who was defeated by John Thune in 2004.

Four orders of Catholic nuns and several Catholic healthcare ministries filed a federal lawsuit against New York on July 17, arguing the state’s new assisted-suicide law forces them to participate in ending patients’ lives in violation of their faith. The case, Carmelite Sisters for the Aged and Infirm v. James, was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of New York against Attorney General Letitia James. The plaintiffs are represented by the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty.

One way is to have the House disagree about adjournment in December with the Senate and then as per the Constitution, the President can force the senate to adjourn--thus a recess for recess appointments exists.

In a scathing letter to the state’s top prosecutor, Democrat state Assembly Member Simcha Eichenstein warned that Mamdani’s anti-Israel grandstanding crosses the line from political posturing into potential criminal official misconduct.

Bear was running away with the dog close on its ass when the two animals crossed the driveway where the little boy happened to be standing about 20 feet away.
The bear was not charging at the the little boy.
And I wouldn't call it a "fight" either. It was a single nip from behind by the dog to the bear's hindquarters and that was it.
Clickbait got me.

The Morning Report — 7/ 22 /26
According to New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill, a software error at the Motor Vehicles Commission signed up over 6,600 noncitizens to vote. But only 400 of them voted, you guys. No biggie.As Cob and New Jersey resident CBD can attest, Jersey is a completely rigged state, especially the northern Hudson and Bergen counties which are just across the river from NYC. Last year's election that saw this repulsive harridan Sherrill "win" stank to high heaven. Yes, much of the Garden State especially the areas bordering on NYC and Philly are solidly Democrat and so the chances of any kind of fair election that might allow a Republican to win a statewide election are essentially nil. And they along with the national , soon to be national socialist Democrat Party will never allow that to happen. And so scum like Andy Kim (no not the late 70's one-hit-wonder singer) fart this toxic poison out in unison with Sherrill et al:
Tuesday on MS NSDAP's "All In," Sen. Andy Kim (D-NJ) said a serious software error in New Jersey's Motor Vehicle System led to the registration of roughly 6,600 people who were not U.S. citizens was "not this widespread systemic problem."No it's not a systemic "problem" but it is a systemic Democrat policy everywhere in the USA that they can get away with it. Illegal aliens, dead people, counterfeit ballots singly and in multiple will be utilized as we all saw they were in 2020. And yet?
Four in ten Americans view communists in the United States as posing a major or moderate threat, a recent weekly survey from the Economist/YouGov found.Given all of the aforementioned, the Democrats have nothing to worry about.
A federal judge appointed by [so-called quote-unquote] President joe Biden, Sparkle Sooknanan, who was born in Trinidad adn Tobago and became a U.S. citizen in 2009, blocked former President Donald Trump's efforts to purge non-citizens from voter rolls. The case challenged the Trump governance's overhaul of the SAVE program, designed to verify immigration status and citizenship, claiming it led to the wrongful removal of eligible U.S.citizens and infringed on voters' privacy rights.Judge Sooknanan ruled that the overhaul unlawfully disenfranchises voters and breaches privacy protections.Her decision halted the use of a federal database intended for voter verification, a move praised by voting rights advocates but criticized by some officials, including Department of Homeland Security representatives, who argued it hindered efforts to prevent voter fraud. Critics have accused Sooknanan of being biased,citing her background representing illegal immigrants pro bono and her progressive stance. The ruling generated social media debate, with figures like Elon Musk criticizing it as problematic and others viewing it as a setback for election security. The controversy highlights ongoing partisan conflicts over voter integrity, immigration verification, and election security measures.

Hi Boomer Haters!
Here's some interesting fuel for your fire:

I think he's somewhat mistaken in what's going on because in fact and probably by intention, Trump is both breaking and breaking the hold of the "Boomer Gerontocracy". But, the severe and layered pushback he keeps getting, even on common sense things like the SAVE Act both prove his point and sorta give lie to his eventual decline theory.
anyway, a think read.
Also, this on "Disillusionment as a product"-

AI companies are buying up old books - physical books printed before 2022 - because they are free of AI slop. (404 Media)
I would recommend that "AI Companies" buy up sermons delivered by the men a century around the founding of this country. It was very often the case that a sermon would be delivered for whatever was going on.
Early Application Based Sermons. So those sermons will be loaded with theology, and something AI totally lacks: wisdom.
Imagine replacing the board of Wikipedia and the ID-10Ts of reddit with reformed theologians who were so respected their sermons have survive over the generations.

"The definition is broad — it covers all Americans age 16 and over who aren’t currently working, including retirees and students."
Some 45% of NILFs are retirees who took standard retirement at the age of 65 or later. About 3-5% retired early.
So, as the boomer generation retires, we would expect this number to increase.

Seriously. Dave Barton was doing a presentation and was talking about the early years of the US with circuit riders and other theologians, who were essentially the region's sages.
Barton was showing topics like how Christians should understand and address property tax, government policies, all with the usual stuff like raising a family and interacting with the world at all levels.

Boomers are three years away from being 100% retirement eligible. Then we can fret about Gen-X.
If you were an employer looking to bring on senior level staff (which allegedly your late career candidates are) would you do it considering that your new hire might retire a couple years later when what you needed was stability and unified vision?
Senior management turn-over twitches the antenna of the M&A crowd.

The Iranians have moved almost all of their weapons manufacturing underground. Nuclear, ballistic missile and drone manufacturing are all in huge, underground facilities. Typically fortified and hardened against attack. There was an article some months ago with photos of some of this.

Late Boomers also don't call the 60's to be the best music rather 70's and 80's.
Boomers brought into the world in the 60s were probably the most privileged due to the fact they were probably too young to care about the tribulations of the day (parents did though) and could enjoy a relatively easy childhood.

White House Communications Director Steven Cheung trolled leftist actor Richard Gere as “a guy that may have put a gerbil up his ass” on Monday.
“Sorry, not going to listen to a guy that may have put a gerbil up his ass,” Cheung wrote in a Monday X post, sharing a screenshot of a 2020 article published by MEL Magazine, headlined, “A Highly Questionable Cultural History of Richard Gere’s Ass Gerbil.”

Interesting that when someone takes real number, for instance sea levels, and looks back 50 or so years the real change is 1 to 5% of the predicted numbers.
Or when look at 60 year of temperatures over a certain number, say 95F, that from 1907 to 1966 there are almost 25% more days over that number than the time period of 1967 to 2026.

Before becoming mayor he was on the NY state assembly. He knows he never had any authority to arrest a foreign leader with diplomatic immunity visiting the UN. He made his promise to arrest Bibi and then admit he didn't have the authority about 15 minutes apart when he knew Netanyahu was coming for weeks. He didn't just brush up on the law last night.
Mamdani lies about everything like free buses and only taxing the uber rich and then reverses himself after the fact because lies are what Islamist communists do best.

Back in the day I had to deal with a customer who presented me with a issue and my response started with, "it's not possible for the situation you describe to occur." We went round and round for a couple weeks and I finally got them on a phone call and was going over, in great detail, how the software worked and they said, "Wait... oh, I see."
Turns out they were feeding the wrong data to the system, ignoring the error message telling them that the input was invalid, and just being angry that it didn't do what they had imagined.

67 is the year you can get full benefits. Every month early is penalized every month after 67 is rewarded.
The calculus is start early and get less or wait and get more. It’s a complex question with factors like life expectancy and return on investment. If you start early but can invest the money you could end up doing better than waiting. Worst case is you wait until 70 and die at 71.

I took "early" social security as I doubt I'll live into my 80's or even 70's. My health today is significantly worse than I thought it'd be when I was 50. By 62 it was apparent I'd die early. Maybe not tomorrow (hopefully) but it'll be sooner rather than later.
So on the off chance I'm wrong, I'll collect less, but over a longer time than I thought.

Mandela effect, ol' Sponge. The maximum SSA retirement payment starts at age 70.
The only things that boost your SSA retirement benefit after age 70 are the annual inflation adjustment and if you continue working AND are replacing one of the 35 years of earnings history (inflation adjusted) with the current year's earnings in nominal dollars. The 35 years of earnings history uses the highest 35 years of reported earnings and inflation adjusts them at your age 62. From age 62 on, the earnings history used in the best 35 years calcs are in nominal (that year's) dollars.

2) no one said we had completely destroyed their nuclear weapons program. In fact, the MOU you deride had pretty extensive points on their current nuclear weapons program. Specifically, it required them to turn over or downgrade any and all enriched uranium.
A/K/A, their _existing_ nuclear weapons program.
But you also said multiple times over several days that Rubio was distancing himself from the MOU--yet he was standing right behind Trump when it was signed.

I'm stumped, trying to imagine what contagious illnesses are addressed by GLP-1 meds. As far as I know, GLP-1 drugs suppress appetite and lower blood sugar.
On the other hand, I've seen evidence that there are efforts to expand their usage. My husband's cardiologist suggested a sleep study and a GLP-1 if apnea is detected, and apnea is no longer just the temporary cessation of breathing from a blockage. There's now a type of apnea that is "silent" so you don't know you have it without a sleep study. Medicare is getting a workout.

Absolutely. Every person's situation will be different. I started having this conversation with my financial guy years ago and he made the point I was not really considering as much as I should.
Every person's situation will be different because all of us have different clocks. Look at your family history, how long do the men and women in your family live? Some have histories of long life, some do not. Genetics plays a role. People tend to look at it as an open end situation when the reality is some of us are not going to live until 75 much less 85.

And so on up to 70 when it’s 124%
It’s not perfectly linear. There is a bigger incentive to wait from 67 to 70 than from 62 to 65. It’s a really wacky formula. Something only the govt could come up with.

Roughly 6% reduction, per year, from 62 to 67.
8%, per year, bonus from 67 to 70.
Both the reduction and the bonus are calculated on a monthly basis.
As for taking the money at 62 and investing, what are you living on? If you're still working then you have to give a lot of the money back until 67. If you're spending retirement savings then you're using other money which could be growing in order to invest SS money which could grow. Lastly, 10% per year isn't guaranteed whereas the reduction is.
There's a ton of argument on the issue and it probably depends on a lot of specifics for each individual so a correct answer cannot be given in a comment section.

Clay Travis nails the real reason so many leftists with expensive degrees hate capitalism.
It's simpler than you think.
TRAVIS: "This is so incredibly important. These highly educated young far-left Democrats hate capitalism because they spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on degrees the country DOES NOT value."
"They spent $200,000 on a women's studies degree [meanwhile] plumbers and electricians are driving better cars and making MORE money."
"They're furious the world is valuing other people's labor more than their own. They should take a lesson... GET USEFUL SKILLS."

Some of the old-guard at my prior employer qualified for something similar (and a pension). I missed the window where they closed it off. I am playing the ACA game right now. I did manage to make the pension window though, so I'll get a small one allegedly.

Not sure how taking less income several years before retirement maximizes SS payout.
Posted by: Steve_in_SoCal
Simple example.
Start getting $10K a year today. Or start getting $15k a year starting in 2031.
In 2031 you’ll have $50k plus whatever growth it had so say $70k. And in 2013 that $70k returns $6k. So starting in 2013 you still get your $10k, plus $6k return vs getting $15k in SS.
That’s a rudimentary example and ignores cpi adjustments and taxes annd all that. But that’s how you come out ahead getting less money but more often.

I tried that but most of them never contacted me back. It was weird. The big deal is that you need the Medicare ID number before you can sign up for a supplement, or advantage - if that's your choice, and then waiting to hear back from the company.
Deciding what's the right choice - for your circumstances - is harder but I'd been researching things for some time and had that part down.

True, nobody knows when they'll die.
You could walk outside and a meteor hits you on the head.
But, as a f'instance, insurance companies make a lot of money using actuarial tables based around life factors and longevity, and they are very, very accurate.
Not perfect but damn close to it.
If you want to get a good idea of when you'll die get a hold of their info on you.
Otherwise, just looking at family history and personal health provides a pretty good approximation, and in most cases you'll probably be 1-3 years of being correct.

The writer says, "Internal Anthropic documents about its plan to scan millions of books, revealed in the copyright lawsuit, don’t make clear why the company wanted to destroy the books in the process."
I don't think it's been established that the company "wanted to destroy the books in the process." Some scanning processes are destructive; others are not--as the writer says next. But, "want"?

We made our mistakes along the way
Somehow I know deep in my heart
You needed me

We were too blind to see
But then most of all
I do love you

Destroying the original (while preserving an image of the cover plus the purchase receipt) would prove that they did indeed purchase a copy of the material for their use, but destroying their copy (as is their right) lets them:
a) Avoid physical storage fees
b) Avoids them having two copies (the original and the digital copy they made without permission of the copyright holder.) They'll try to argue that the digital copy now takes the place of the physical one, since they only have "one copy" that they paid for.
(1 of 2, more...)
Posted by: Grumpy and Recalcitrant at July 22, 2026 05:30 AM (O7YUW)
And that's what any legal case in copyright law will hinge on. Is the act of reading a physical object in order to make a digital one, by itself, a violation of that copyright?
Remember that for computer software licenses, the license holder grants you the right to make that second copy in memory so the software can run, otherwise you couldn't legally run the software since there are now two copies (the one on the media, and the one in memory.)
The copyright holder has to grant you the license to make that second copy, otherwise you made a copy in violation of the copyright holder's rights.
The LLMs are going to try to argue they only have the one copy in memory now, but... the act of making the copy without being granted the right by the copyright holder is in itself a violation. There is no "book license" that grants that right.
So the LLMs are likely going to try to twist the law and use the betamax decision to say that it's like timeshifting a TV program, because you're making a physical copy from the airwaves, and that was permitted in law despite what the original copyright holder may have wanted or intended.
It's going to get messy and take years.

J.R.R. Tolkien, the beloved author of The Lord of the Rings and a devoted Catholic, gave the world more than epic tales of Middle-earth. He also contributed a profound theological insight wrapped in a single invented word: eucatastrophe.
The term, which Tolkien coined in his essay “On Fairy-Stories,” describes the sudden, joyous turn in a narrative when all seems lost but hope breaks through in an unexpected victory. It is the moment when darkness gives way to light, when despair is shattered by deliverance.
And that is what makes his stories so good. There is always hope even when things are their most dire. A lot of authors could stand to learn that.

One of Clifton Webb's movie comedies from the early '50s, Dreamboat, is on Movies at 6:55 this morning. He plays a former silent movie matinee idol, now a professor, whose former female partner is using footage of their old flicks in comedy bits on her TV show. Incensed, he sues her for defamation and ruination of his image and public persona. Ginger Rogers plays his former partner. Loads of fun!

Isn't McCarthy's stuff like that? I was very disappointed with both the novel and the film version of No Country for Old Men. He has the protagonist, the guy played by Josh Brolin, doing battle with Chigurh the killer, and he's doing pretty well . . . and then suddenly Chigurh kills him, and we don't get to see it. No, the protagonist doesn't need to win or live in the end, but we need to see the payoff.

I think he's somewhat mistaken in what's going on because in fact and probably by intention, Trump is both breaking and breaking the hold of the "Boomer Gerontocracy". But, the severe and layered pushback he keeps getting, even on common sense things like the SAVE Act both prove his point and sorta give lie to his eventual decline theory.
anyway, a think read.

Anime Matsuri in Houston kicks off Friday. Vic Mignogna will be there, voice of Edward Elric, and Maxey Whitehead, voice of Alphonse Elric, was announced to be there.
Anime Matsuri advertised it as a reunion between the two voice actors. Maxey has elected to not attend after going on social media to say the announcement violates her contract.
Vic has been embroiled in #MeToo accusations by other voice actors like Monica Rial of being a PDF.* This basically destroyed his voice acting career as Funimation fired him.
I think Anime Matsuri could have avoided this controversy by merely saying the two voice actors would be there and not hype it as a reunion. *shrugs*
*Speaking as someone who has interacted with Vic at conventions a couple times before the accusations were aired, these accusations were an easy victory for the likes of Monica Rial because Vic is a very tactile person who loves to give his fans hugs and big ol goofy smiles.

The families of two men who discovered through DNA tests that they were switched at birth 38 years ago are accusing a North Dakota hospital of robbing them of the lives they were supposed to lead. Kyle Bylin discovered his birth family after taking an at-home test he chose randomly during a Christmas gift-exchange. That led to his biological aunt on a genealogy platform. Her nephew, Jeremy Morrison, then had his DNA tested. The results were irrefutable. “That’s when my mind was just completely blown,” Bylin said. “We could have never imagined that it was an actual birth switch that occurred.”----- That worldwide kickball / keepaway tournament is finally over.

On the surface it was one of the world’s more fascinating supergroups – the combination of guitarists Steve Howe (Yes) and Steve Hackett (Genesis). But ultimately the project never got the chance to develop and fizzled out in a matter of months. “The idea came from Steve Howe’s manager, Brian Lane,” explains Hackett. “Steve and I knew each, of course, and Brian thought our styles would be complementary.” So GTR was born in 1985, with a line-up completed by vocalist Max Bacon, bassist Phil Spalding (who’d worked with Mike Oldfield) and drummer Jonathan Mover (briefly associated with Marillion), and the first song the guitarists worked on was to prove their biggest hit. “We played each other some stuff we’d worked on separately,” Hackett says. “Steve had an idea for the instrumental opening for a song. I had a tune that we could add, so we started to construct When The Heart Rules The Mind.” *** Although their self-titled debut album did well in America – making it to Number 11 – the band soon fell apart. “I thought we could have followed a similar path to Queen. But in the end, When The Heart Rules The Mind was our strongest song, and the whole thing was short-lived.”

We've watched the first half of Martin Scorsese's The Age of Innocence based on a 1920 Edith Wharton novel. The mind reels at the thought of how Marty came to direct this when he is best known for gangster epics and "tough" films, but I'll say it's beautiful and well-lit (a rarity for modern movies). It's not fast-paced, it's not Die Hard, but it is well-acted.
The local CBS outlet's website lists our chance of rain tomorrow at 40%, but no real change in temps -- still 80-something overnight and 95 in the daytime -- though winds tomorrow are supposed to be from the north instead of the eternal southern ones. I doubt we are going to have any kind of storm disaster tomorrow.

Tribe vs Athletics
Dick Bosman threw 79 pitches, game last less than 2 hours.
A batter reached base on a throwing error, and was erased by a double play.
Amazingly enough, there were over 24k in attendance ... this was in 1974 ... back in the dark days of Tribe lore.

Most of the top triples hitters were lefty batters. Rickey hit righty and was a dead-pull line drive hitter. You get many more triples hitting to the right field corner than the left because the throw from the outfield is so much longer.

Sooo....this is gonna sound weird, but I am looking for "validation" on something rather silly.
Does anyone remember the joke about the guy who was caught in a flood and several people came by to offer him a way off of his roof? He kept turning them away, saying, "God will provide". He ended up drowning, got to Heaven, God asked him why he was there, guy said, "I trusted you to get me out of there", and God told him, "I sent you a boat, a plane, etc."?
A couple of weeks ago I got a card in the mail telling me it was time to schedule my "routine" colonoscopy. I called the office, only to be told that since I had one done in November, 2024 (when getting Cholangiocarcinoma diagnosis), and since it said I didn't need to come back for 5 years, to just disregard that notification, as it was a technical oversight. I said okay, but then I mentioned it to my oncologist, thinking maybe the notification was a "sign" that something is going on inside my body (I feel fine). He said not to worry about it, so I left it at that. (Continued)

Yesterday, I received a phone call from the same office, telling me that I needed to schedule a colonoscopy. I thought that maybe my oncologist had decided to see what was going on. Turns out that nope, just someone not reading the notes from my recent phone call, doing routine diligence. Was told to ignore the phone call and come back in 2029 for my next colonoscopy.
So both of these were just "accounting" errors, but I can't help but think/feel as if maybe they are a "sign" (I don't usually believe in that sort of stuff) that God/the Universe is telling me that even though I don't have any symptoms, perhaps I need to get this checked out, just in case. I mean, I already have cancer; it is a very aggressive one that can metastasize into other parts of the body. If caught early it could be easily taken care of, rather than a year or two down the line, when it would be much more difficult to treat/deal with. (Continued)

Life is good.
One of the widows I walk with cooked bluebell's chicken recipe from the Deplorable Cookbook. That was after I use the FIFA final as an excuse to visit her and chat.
She got the cookbook, one of many she owns, as a gift for getting me to and from the local airport and the NoVaMoMeet. bluebell inscribed it.
She is a skilled cook, and has profound man management skills to choose that cookbook and recipe. Still walking, not stalking. She is on the prowl, however. Dodging is getting more difficult.

**************
My great-uncle was a very good looking and (so I heard and saw photos) charming man. He died very young but got around as 3 women with engagement rings showed up at his funeral at the same time. He was a train conductor in the South, with a port in every storm.
His father, my great-grandfather, was also a very handsome man. I have seen photos. His wife, Maggie, threw all of his clothing and belongings in the front yard and left him when she found a note from a lady friend in his jacket pocket in 1913. Five kids, the eldest was my grandmother, who took Maggie and siblings in to her home as a newlywed.
Maggie and husband never divorced. Everyone (including my father and aunt) thought she was a widow til he died in Louisiana after marrying again and having another daughter. My grandmother refused to go to his funeral, which was enlightening to my father and aunt.
There are family there who learned of us legals due to my mother doing genealogy and family trees. Surprise!

Our second and third were twin boys. Born in a hospital, only ten minutes apart. Fraternals, they were and still are about as different as two brothers can be. The first of the two born was whisked away by the delivery room staff, and I was busy staying with Milady until the second was born, so it was not as warm and cuddly as our firstborn.
There was a brief time they were in the nursery, and I had to fret that they were properly tagged and identified. Years have convinced me they are both ours. But, still, there was that bit of concern about switching babies.

With this type of cancer, chances are that I don't have 3 years left. Just wondering if I should "check and see" if something else is lurking inside - if so, maybe I would catch it early enough to do something about it to give me a better chance of being here longer.

I worked as a neonatal RN for seven years and, having two of my own, the ID bracelets are put on baby and Mama within minutes of hatching.
No one could have swapped my first 10lb boy anyway because he attracted crowds as the largest in the nursery (his grandmother said).
He also was a furious and scary baby with hunger and no one would have kept him but his real parents, as he was super loud from his first breath.
A former classmate of mine was assigned to him. My mother and I walked down to the nursery to get him after I napped, and he was missing. Because he was waking the other babies being furious my friend said, he was put in an isolation room one shift. This is how bad he was.
Now they have bracelets that will send an alarm if baby has left the floor to alert for kidnapping. Now, too, newborns spend their time in their mother's room til discharge.

I don't think you're crazy, given your history. Maybe talk to your oncologist and see if you can get some kind of waiver to have it done sooner than normal. Or, maybe try for the poop-in-the-box test. Not as accurate, but pretty good, no prep required, and almost certainly less expensive.
Good luck.

And its funny because he is generally correct with this assessment but he takes it completely the wrong way. Why should spending 8 or more years in Women's Studies net you more reward from society then building a plumbing business?

TInFW, I looked up the cancer you mentioned and wanted to pass on a cancer story. My parents had a wonderful woman help them for a couple of years before they passed away in 2005&2007. We stayed close and sometime around 2012 she was diagnosed with a rare stomach carcinoma that couldn’t be excised but I never found out what the exact cancer was. The doctor at MDA gave her about 6 months to live at the time. She passed away on Halloween of last year, 13 years later. Her daughter had called me in the morning and said that I better get to her house because she was fading. I made it in time to see her and while she couldn’t speak, she knew I was there. (Here comes the lump in the throat). One of the last things I told her was that her story would keep inspiring people. So I hope this inspires you, if even for a tiny bit.

2) Worst juror: a 40-yr-old Episcopalian clergyman; also an adjunct professor of Comparative Religion, with special expertise on Thomas a Becket and St. Thomas Moore. "I believe that there is some good in every person."

Interesting. They've just discovered an atmosphere around a rocky, super-earth type planet for the first time. It's LHS 1140 b, about 48 ly away, orbiting a red dwarf in the habitable zone. They don't know what the atmosphere is, but detected it via seeing helium escape.

This planet could well be a cold eyeball planet.
That would be a cold configuration of a tidally locked planet. This thing orbits a small red dwarf, with a period of just 29 days. That's how close the habitable zones of these red dwarfs are, so the planet will almost certainly be tidally locked.
A cold eyeball would have a warm spot around the equator facing the star, with an ocean there, and the night side would be covered in ice, which would then transition to liquid in a ring surrounded the warm spot. It would thus look like an eyeball.
On the other end, there's the hot eyeball. Scorching hot on the light side, and maybe liquid water existing on the night side.

Yep, orthostatic hypotension big time. They have done extended duration high g human tests (of very healthy, fit specimens) in centrifuges.
IIRC, they've tolerated 1.5g for up to 7 days. In 2G, however 24 hr is about the limit. Severe cardiovascular problems will developed. In the 1.5g case, fluid imbalances still become a big problem, but the ticker doesn't get too fatigued.

A problem with those centrifuges is the Coriolis effect. That will scramble the vestibular system like crazy when you move around. That makes it tricky to separate out the pure g effect vs the Coriolis.
One thing is to not move your head relative to your body. Moving your head with high Coriolis acceleration present causes a "cross coupling" of the those fluid thingies between each ear. The result will be much puking, as your brain can't make sense of that input.

Sam Altman just got sued by Apple. And that's not even his biggest problem this year!!
His own co-founder, Elon Musk, spent two years trying to prove in court that Altman betrayed him. 😯
Now Apple says OpenAI stole its secrets too. Two billion-dollar wars. One CEO in the middle. 🤨
Back in 2015, Musk and Altman built OpenAI as a nonprofit, a lab to build AI safely before Google could lock it down. Musk put in $38 million. Altman turned OpenAI into a for-profit company.
Apple's claim: OpenAI stole its secrets to build it. OpenAI's hardware boss, Tang Tan, a former Apple VP, allegedly told job candidates still at Apple to bring "actual parts," like batteries and logic boards, for "show and tell."
Is his empire standing on stolen ground? 🤔 Tell us what you think, and subscribe @TruthTrumpPost for more.

About 1 RPM is the "normal limit" for Coriolis. Just about everybody could handle that straight in. 1 - 2 RPM and some adjustment period is required, but your brain would get used to it for most people.
Now, 2 - 4, some people can adapt, but they have to modify how they mover. Above 4, and it's puke city all the time.

Bridget Phetasy, on her Dumpster Fire shows, often includes a plug for a medical testing service with a promo code for a discount. You can just... take tests, if you're willing to pay for them, and they probably cost a lot less than you think. (The insurance price is also a "pay later" price, and a "some other guy might pay you later maybe" price at that, so they are both legally and morally allowed to charge more for it.)
Let me find the most recent episode with that... Oh right, it's Quest. I have it cued to the promo, ignore her sales pitch focused on their tests for women's health issues, and just check out their catalog:

It's not soft pr0n. It's classical cinema art.
Faith Bacon is generally considered to have created the fan and veil dances (shown here) that are associated with Sally Rand. Rand created the bubble dance. Faith died at age 46 in 1956 after a fall from a window that may or may not have been suicide. Faith is 32 years old in this film.

Problems with some spinning centrifugal gravity spaceship/station go far beyond mere problems for humans with the Coriolis.
Balance, intermediate axis theorem and all that abound. As mass shifted around (moving people cargo, etc), you could easily get thing out of balance and start tumbling. You'd need one hell of a control system to actively compensate. Some ideas were using some very dense fluid that would be pumped around to maintain balance, and that would be a major engineering thing indeed.

And then all that moving fluid, and you'd have things like that anyway as part of the habitat system will have oscillations, various mass-spring systems.
Now, you've got a carefully balanced spinning habitat around it's moment of max inertia. You start getting mass oscillations around the structure. They hit some resonance. The moment of inertia tensor starts shaking around, and so does your spin axis. It's not damped, but gets worse and worse.
The thing just flies apart.

I'm recalling some rotating systems stuff from way back in a Mechanics course at Clempson Cow Collidge.
Imagine you have a rotating disk. Now start putting various mass-spring oscillators on it, and let 'em fly. Mass moves around. Inertia tensor changes with time. They had a contraption so you could actually see motion like this. A thing with a 3-axis gimbal. Still under gravity, and not like it would be in free space, but it was designed to produce the full complexity.
You wouldn't believe the crazy motion that thing would do. Bob and weave, speed up, slow down.
Such systems will easily get chaotic. That was far, far beyond the level of undergrad mechanics, believe me. The contraption was not chaotic, as it was designed not to be, but still show just how complex such motion can be.

Take two of those chaotic pendula that are identical. Start them at the same position. The motion of each will be entirely different, even though they (*seem*) to start with the exact same initial conditions. That's chaos.
The truth is no matter how identical they appear to be, they aren't really down to some very small decimal point. And likewise, when you start them at the same position, same initial conditions, you don't exactly, at some very small decimal point level.

Yeah, I didn't realize that until recently. I've been blessed with a largely pain-free life, so when my right shoulder hurt, I ignored it. It spread and got worse, the whole arm from fingertips to shoulder blade, couldn't sleep but in fits and starts. Finally just took some buffered aspirin at the amount indicated on the package, and after a few days of not having to fight the pain too, whatever it was healed up and the pain was gone.

Ordinarily a black bear will run away at the sight of humans, until dumb shits start feeding them. Then they learn humans won’t do shit in the parks except bang pots or something. They are a pest at best.
Grizzly bears are different. Lewis and Clark noted they would attack on first sight, running at full gallop. That tends to get your attention. I’m not sure if this trait is still evident but they will fuck your day up when so inclined.

A former Pfizer executive. An Iranian arms trafficker arrested at LAX. A cartel-linked Palestinian arms dealer caught fleeing to Kuwait with $44K in stolen cash.
A company-owned aircraft registered 45 minutes from the border. A Fort Bliss LTC whose father-in-law is the arms dealer. And a Distinguished Honor Graduate whistleblower Soldier Richard Halliday murdered for exposing it all.
This is not a conspiracy theory. This is a documented criminal enterprise.

Lewis, recounting how a Grizzly snuck up on him within about 20 paces undetected near the Great Falls in Montana.
He decided to slowly back away calmly. That …. didn’t work. He set a land speed record running away into the river. He later allowed “I then vowed never to leave my rifle unloaded longer than the time required to reload her.” LOL

Nope, probably not. It’s one of the best parts of the Journals. They didn’t “discover” the Grizzly Bear, but they were completely unknown to Science. So they were looking forward to seeing them, or so they thought.
Prior to contact, they were a little over-confident. Yeah, the Plains Indian nations geared up for a Grizzly hunt like they were getting ready for war. But no bear could be a match for a modern Infantry rifle company. C’mon.
Then, they started seeing enormous grizzly besr tracks in the mud. Hm. They sure look pretty big, boss!
AFTER nearly getting killed, shooting them 5 times through different directions, through the lungs, and them being very hard to kill Lewis had a Mea culpa.
“The curiosity of our party with respect to these gentleman is pretty well satisfied” and “I’d rather fight two Indians than one Grizzly bear”

Since the magazine is the part of the gun (removable or not) that holds ammo, I guess technically a single-shot rifle or handgun could be described as being without a magazine. But I suspect that's not what you're asking. What are you asking?

The Russian tanks were better than ours because our procurement department General had a beef with the guy who invented the tank suspension and sloped armor. He ended up selling it to Russia.

There were also the old-school "punt guns" that were used for market hunting of waterfowl back when that was legal. Some of those bad boys would fire over a pound of shot at once. They were boat-mounted, not shoulder fired. Rumor has it that beyond a certain size they had to be registered with the navy, for potential requisition in war time.
When I was a kid a friend's grandpa had an 8 gauge (aka 8 bore) gun hanging on the wall. It was never fired to my knowledge, but man that thing was a beast.

Japan had that problem with their aircraft. I read there was one factory that didn't have an airstrip anywhere near it, so a finished plane would have to be driven through town by oxen to the nearest airstrip quite some distance. Plus, they really couldn't train pilots quickly enough. Until they only needed to train them to take off. Not land.

Overengineered, a bitch to fix, and Germany didn't have a sufficient repair system to deal with the realities of Russia. When they worked, they worked great. Had radios and really good crews. Lacked sloped armor and tread width was too narrow rural Russia. That said, if they had begun Barbarossa with Panthers and Tigers instead of IIIs and IVs, they might have won. Significant-sized units were often held up for days by a single JS-1.

Doctrine at the time was that tank destoyers were to kill enemy tanks. But if there was a tank spotted, the US would send a unit of 5 tanks out to meet it. If three or more tanks, they would send three units of 5 tanks.

Don't forget all that stuff we were shipping to the Sovs through the back door, by way Murmansk/Arkhangelsk, Vladivostok, and muhfuggin' Iran.
Without that Stalin would've folded, and the history of the world would've been much different.
My theory is that if Stalin got curbstomped, the war would've continued until the US got nukes (hopefully before the Nazis), whereupon we would've nuked Hitler as well as Tojo.
Downside: mass civilian casualties (although maybe not as many as resulted from the conventional fight).
Big upside: war ends with no Soviet Union.

Sovaboos regularly disparage Lend Lease because the tonnage was a small fraction of Soviet output. But US aid allowed the Red Army to be mechanized. It also supplied avgas, aluminum, alloys and food. The best evidence of the importance of Lend Lease was that the Reds were always demanding more.

Some interesting things came out of that. The P-39 Airacobra was a sturdy fighter and ground attack plane that did almost everything well, but didn't do any one thing superbly. The US built 3,000 or so but never found a good use for them, and they were overshadowed by newer models. Almost all of them were shipped to the Soviet Union, where they were heavily used and became one of the most successful airframes of the war. A plane that did everything well and was easy to use and maintain was exactly what the Soviets needed.

Software "Glitch" in Democrat-Riddled NJ Allows That Thing the Media Democrat Party Says Never Happens to Happen 6600 Times
A "glitch" permitted 6,600 illegal aliens to sign up to vote, and we know at least 400 did illegally vote.
Deb Heine at AmGreatness:New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill (D.) announced Tuesday that a "software error" in the state's Motor Vehicle Commission system registered 6,600 non-citizens to vote between June 2023 and June 2024 even though they had indicated they were not U.S. citizens on driver's license and ID applications. New Jersey is one of approximately 31 states that has refused to provide full, unredacted voter registration lists to the Department of Justice for the Civil Rights Division's ongoing review of U.S. voter rolls. Sherrill emphasized that the error happened "under the previous administration" and alleged that a preliminary analysis showed that fewer than 400 of these individuals actually cast ballots in elections. Sherill was preceded by Democrat Governor Phil Murphy, who appears to have concealed the issue after it was caught in 2024. She told reporters during a news conference Tuesday that it was unacceptable that the "previous administration" didn't bring the system error to light and demand accountability.What about the other thousands of illegal aliens on your rolls? She then pivoted to, get this: Trump.
... "I also ordered the removal of any residents from our voter rolls who were erroneously added between June 2023 and June 2024" she added. "The new MVC Administrator that I appointed has begun the process of replacing the vendor responsible for administering the system."
... Sherrill also took the opportunity to bash President Trump's election integrity efforts and patted herself on the back for taking immediate action to fix the problem. She stated that Trump has "zero credibility on the issue" due to his efforts to expose how the 2020 election was rigged.DHS Secretary Mullin says she wants to close this file ASAP because NJ still has around 35,000 illegal aliens on the rolls, and they want to keep those illegal voters:
"This should've been done a LONG time ago," DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin posted on X. Just ONE illegal vote cancels out the vote of a U.S. citizen. As @DHSgov reported last week--New Jersey could have as many as 35,152 potential non-citizens registered to vote. Looking forward to working with you to secure your elections in the future."I wouldn't hold your breath.

WE WERE RIGHT!
Governor Mikie Sherrill (D-NJ) just confirmed that illegal aliens ARE registered AND voting in New Jersey.
The thing that never happens is happening.

He starts listing all the great things that government did, claiming they are "socialism" and how does Scott respond to that????
Well, he listed lots of bullshit -- I think Oak Ridge (?) TVA, and NYC subway. Saying they were all built with all "government workers".
Oak Ridge was a defense plant for building the bomb. Yikes, hard line libertarians (the opposite of socialists) understand that gov. has three jobs - defense, courts, and maintain order.
TVA is a utility, and relies on eminent domain and a "commons" Even most libertarians are on board for the gov. being in charge of that.
And most of the NYC subway was built by private corporations.
I wanted the little bitch to get slapped. Scott let me down.

Congress did that for a reason. Some schools had a cottage industry, particularly Law schools.
It was de rigeur to get a Law degree, and then declare bankruptcy and renege on the student loans that paid for it. They had specific classes on exactly how to do this.
Maybe there were better ways to prevent this, but, this was the remedy. Student loans are not dischargeable in bankruptcy proceedings.

I've been trying to fifind more details on the troops killed in the drone strike in Jordan. They all four members of two of the Army's Air and missile Defense Command (AAMDC), the 10th, and the 32nd AAMDC. This makes me think it was a consolidated Eucom/CENTCOM joint AAMDC. Also means that drone was remote piloted because the limited video from the event shows the view from a bunker with a loud speaker saying 'threat attack, impact imminent, take cover immediately.'

It also turns the people suffering from it into absolute jackasses as they strive to prove that they are entitled to their envy.
Envy drives the envious jackass into extremes of action to prove that the people they are envious of are not entitled to the fruits of what they achieve, and that the benefits should come to them instead. Don't they struggle and invent and say pretty words too?
You have to find it in your heart to celebrate other people's successes, and if needed then model on the actions to earn successes as well. You have to forgive yourself for past failures as well.

Democrats desperately want to retake the House in November, not just to thwart President Donald Trump's legislative agenda, but to launch countless investigations under the guise of oversight.
However, their most stubborn obstacle to achieving this goal isn't President Trump or the Republican Party. The biggest obstacle actually sits inside their own party.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) has spent this cycle bankrolling primary challengers against sitting Democrats, and the fight has split the party into two camps that can barely stand each other.

Pell can now be used for that.
Mike Rowe has a program to learn at trade.
Big Tech (apple alpha goog et al) will now take you into a 6 to 18 weeks course, pay you a stipend, to learn to work on their stuff.
Here in Houston look up Independent Elect Contractors. They will teach you trades, estimating, and proj mgmt for free as they assign you to a company.

BLM Activists Bully James Talarico Into Admitting How Extreme His Leftwing Politics Really Are
I wrote about the fat BLM loudmouth bullying this Sensitive Sally earlier.
What I missed was how productive the BLM activist was, both for her own grifting career and for Republicans. James Talarico has a history of taking the most extreme possible positions on issues. However, during this election cycle, he has tried to not talk about his positions. He isn't renouncing them or even "distancing himself" from them. He just doesn't want to say what he believes in, apart from "the working class." This BLM grifter demanded he co-sign on to every extreme black-racist political agenda item and Talarico, being a sad cuck, couldn't help but obey her.Team Cruz
@TeamTedCruz In one four-minute, off-the-cuff answer, Talarico managed to advocate for or say all of the following: - Reparations are part of his faith tradition.
- Race-based tuition relief.
- Race-based homeownership grants.
- Race-based baby bonds.
- Slavery still defines modern Texas.
- Government must "repair" the past.
- When Democrats win the Senate they will enact reparations
- The George Floyd Act was "transformational."
- Washington must protect Americans "from police violence."
- Shows like 'Cops' promote violence
In one four-minute, off-the-cuff answer, Talarico managed to advocate for or say all of the following:

- Reparations are part of his faith tradition.

Because Texas is still standing.
I'm telling you, they get mad at people for arguing the opinion not to lay waste to all public strictures.
That's why they thing conservatives are racist at their core. Which is also why if we wanted to have an insurrection, it could only be to create a more racist government.
So, "our government was ATTACKED" on January 6th--just NOT in a good way. The people deemed as racist overthrowing the government is almost as bad as the government remaining.
Notice how, you don't become automatically anti-racist when you're interpreted as overthrowing the government? No, you're still racist from your characteristic of normally defending the government.
Notice, how stipulative all their shit becomes?

The whole damn world is racist as fuck. Now that’s a fact. What these clowns are actually doing, the only thing I can’t decide is if this is the actual strategy here, is making an awful lot of people Race conscious, where they weren’t before, or didn’t want to be. They start asking questions.
You laugh at people trying to ret-conn Richard Nixon, but there are actual bad guys in our history.
Hell, I’m sick of hearing about racial “minorities”. White peoples are the minority dumb fucks. And it isn’t even close. 4% maybe 6%? Something in the single digits.

I was working for Wells Fargo Bank in the early 90s and every year there was a big United Way donation drive.
Each Department bribed their employees by offering everyone an extra paid day off if they contributed -- even as little as $1. There was this really unlikable co-worker of mine (in hindsight, likely a ChiComm Spy) and she was the only one who refused.
I actually thought although it was somewhat admirable (being myself generally a contrarian, loner, and individualist) and funny -- while everyone else in the Department was pissed at her (and attempted to persuade her to change her mind) -- but obviously poorly played on her part all the way 'round.

If any of this actually happens, the Dems will necessarily have to bring back the infamous antebellum Virginia "One Drop Rule," i.e. if you have even one drop of African blood, you count as black.
Ever since DNA testing became commonplace about 15 years ago, lefties have been constantly getting their jollies by revealing to self-identifying "white" people that they actually have a little bit of African blood in the DNA -- as a way of embarrassing them and humiliating them on various TV shows and documentaries.
But all that is going to come back and bite the Left on the ass, when half the white people in America will claim reparations, since Ancestry.com or 23andMe proves that they are 0.05% African.
How can this be countered? The only way is to establish some national "One Drop Rule" -they law that specifies just exactly how much African DNA you mist have to count as "black" and thus entitled to free $$$.

All of the slavers were dressed in colonial British dress.
Red coats, powdered wigs, all that.
Whitewashing out that every single man, woman and child sold in that market was brought there in chains 1st put on them by a black man.
Every single one.
And almost the first thing the freed slaves from America did when they founded Liberia was ... create de facto slavery.

Probably the same way they determine if Natives get "free" healthcare. I believe the current amount is 1/32nd Native, but I could be wrong about that. So, if your history says you have any Native blood, you get free healthcare, courtesy of the rest of us paying taxes on your behalf.
I guess that makes up for..... some damned thing. I really don't know. Particularly in AK, where there are no reservations, and nobody was driven off their land, and they were given title to lots of land and set up Native Corporations that pay dividends based on all the set-aside government contracts they pull in for being... Natives.

The coastal African tribes raided the inland tribes. This was at a time where white Europeans thought they would catch malaria for sure venturing into the jungle and bush.
Black people should be mad at the Semitic people (Arab, et al) who purchased the majority and Brazil who purchased 2/3rds of the slaves headed West.
The American take was only 10% of all West-bound slaves. Bad enough, but is scale is considered, it is what it is.

That was NOT true when I went to college in St. Louis. Whites and blacks did not mix, and there weren't many other races around. It was bizarre to me, to say the least.
I still don't give a fiddler's fart what race anyone is. I DO care how people behave, and what they whine about, and how they push their idiocy on others. That gets damned old fast.

But WAIT a minute, the lefties will protest -- that's not fair! They're rich. And, they may be "black," but they were born in Africa, and emigrated here, and are not descended from slaves. That doesn't count!
OK, then, are we gonna have to start keeping track of who is descended from a slave or not?
Obama's family were never slaves -- in fact, they OWNED slaves back in Africa. So none of the Obamas get reparations.
What if you have a street in a black neighborhood, on on that street you have:
-- An American black guy who can prove he was descended from American slaves.
-- A Somali guy who arrived here in 2021.
-- A guy from the Dominican Republic who is indeed descended from slaves -- but slaves in a foreign country that has nothing to do with America.
-- An American black guy who CAN'T prove he was descended from American slaves, has no paperwork.
-- Some random dude with dark skin who has no clue as to his ancestry.
Who gets reparations? And why?

Lisa Demuth is the only one who has a chance against the next governor, sure to be Amy K. And then they'll get the insane current Lt. Governor Peggy Flanagan to take Amy's spot in the Senate.

Houston Public Media: The poll found 67% of Black voters surveyed said they support Talarico — of note considering what those numbers looked like for previous Democratic candidates for U.S. Senate at similar points in their campaigns. In 2024, the group’s polling around this time showed Colin Allred drawing 47% of the state’s Black voters, while Beto O’Rourke had 49% in 2018.
Monica Thompson said she’ll likely support Talarico in November but remains frustrated with how this year’s Democratic primary unfolded.
“We do want him to beat Ken Paxton, but I don’t like the way he got it,” said Thompson. “I just don’t think Jasmine Crockett got a fair chance because of her skin color.”
In a general election, these somewhat-reluctant voters could prove to be a deciding factor, according to Texas Southern University political scientist Michael Adams.
“If we have an election that’s a statistical dead heat, those voters who may opt to stay at home would be very important,” said Adams. “Jasmine Crockett was able to get them off of their sofas and out to the polls.”

Often, people believe the things they believe first, then go look for evidence. In their mind it is two things:
1) body cameras have to be wrong. Cops are racist and most people are good (except the ones they hate.)
2) the cameras must just not be being shown for all the black and gay people getting shit by police.
I have started to wonder if certain black people believe that a LOT of the black on black murders (the people they don't know personally) are actually white cops shooting the people.
In short, people can maintain delusions in the face of clear disproving evidence.

While the Republicans remained in power, there are some people who already got their reparations.
It's the Dems who discontinued the program.
But the Democratic Party is the one sacrosanct former central agent of actual racism that can't be touched because What does that have to do with now??!!
Because they were strong for the unions (which was an actual racist development) and came out strong for the right women to abort black babies.

Second thing on their agenda: Reparations for "black" people. Every black person in the US gets $1 million (or some amount).
Guess what would happen?
THE ENTIRE CONTINENT OF AFRICA WOULD IMMEDIATELY DECAMP FOR THE UNITED STATES, just to get that free $1 million.

You hate people for having what you don't have, and continually attack them for it. Peace of mind, faith, family, community.
Wolfus is right, you will never be more that what you are today, a sad troll trying to hurt strangers because you can't think of a better way to spend your time.

I think blacks should pay back the people who brought them to this wonderful continent. I think they should also pay back the taxpayers for their immense social welfare burden, and pay back society for the high crime and disruption they cause.
And that is where this talk of reparations will lead. Do they want that? An accounting?

There are 10 cities that have had animal mayors, most were dogs, a cat, and two goats. There are currently more cities that have had goat mayors than reparations. And when the lone city has it's law struck down there will be zero and still two goat mayors.
There have been some cities that passed "reparation" bills that were not race based and included wipepo but had "reparation" in the title of the law and people were not so happy about that.

America is different. Pre LBJ. Americans, like all people had their little tribes but an over arching unity was AMERICAN. Evidence?
How badly do you think blacks were treated pre-WWII?
How many blacks volunteered for service in WWII?
Regardless how shitty they were treated they were American and showed it.
That is something, a unity that exists, or existed before the hate mongers, no where else in the world.

Starting this fall, Salamanca High School will introduce "Sally," an M-Series robot built by Realbotix, to assist in coding, robotics, and AI classes for 11th and 12th graders.
Thing is, "Sally" is a sex robot for incels that has been repurposed to teach high school juniors and seniors.
Given how some teenagers have managed to hack the McDonald's mobile app's ordering AI to do their homework, I can only imagine that within a few hours in the classroom, "Sally" will be performing blow jobs on the horny teenage students.

Heck, just yesterday Alameda County (in California) voted to give reparations to all black residents of the county.
Barely even made the local news. No one cares.
Why not? Alameda County has no money to spare. So they can promise reparations all they want, but will never be able to actually pay out.
Of course, the new law is hilariously unconstitutional, but I doubt it will ever be challenged, because everyone in the country either agrees with the law, or simply doesn't give a shit anymore.

It doesn't look like sally is a sex robot. The company that produced sally did, in the past, acquire a company that made a sex doll. Sally does look a bit dolled up in the face. But I don't think it was designed for "sex". But to be a tradeshow presenter, or like in a kiosk showing carburetors or something.

Democrats Push Unhinged Racialist Propaganda as Republicans Probe the Smithsonian for Its Rampant Leftwing Bias
"The museum does not take sides,' a Smithsonian official declared, perjuring herslef.
Yes, the Democrats' "love" of America continues to be the same kind of "love" shown to Tina Turner by Ike Turner. Baby I love you so much, can't you see how much it hurts me when you make me abuse you? The director of this DEI shitshow was grilled by Republican congressmen at today's hearing, with Democrats shrieking that it's "white supremacy" to demand neutral standards in a publicly-funded museum.
'The museum does not take sides': Smithsonian official defends institution amid Trump criticism A scathing White House report accused museum leaders of "radical" activism.
The director of the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History (MNAH) defended its work in a congressional hearing on Tuesday morning amid sharp criticism from the White House over the contents of the Washington, D.C. museum. "Our work is governed by the Smithsonian standards of scholarship, accuracy, independence, and nonpartisanship," Anthea Hartig said. "The museum does not take sides in America's political debates. We preserve and document the evidence of American life in all of its breadth, so that the public can encounter the past and draw their own conclusions." Hartig's comments came during her opening remarks to lawmakers in a House Subcommittee on Delivering Government Efficiency hearing titled "Rewriting American History: Examining the Smithsonian's Efforts to Reshape the Past." She is also expected to testify in a related hearing on Wednesday before the Committee on House Administration, a committee spokesperson confirmed to ABC News. Hartig was named in a scathing White House Domestic Policy Council report released on July 4, accusing the MNAH and its leadership of engaging in "extreme political activism" and presenting "a radical view of American history." She pushed back against the report's findings on Tuesday. ... Hartig's testimony this week marks the first time that a top leader at the Smithsonian gets grilled publicly by Congress after President Donald Trump targeted the institution in his March 27, 2025 executive order, "Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History." The executive order directed Vice President J.D. Vance, in consultation with the president's advisers on domestic policy, "to remove improper ideology" from Smithsonian institutions, arguing that materials that cast America in a "negative light" have no place in federal cultural institutions. ... The report accuses the museum of "anti-White activism," "illegal alien activism," and "transgender activism." It also includes many photos of materials the White House has identified as problematic. It also accused the museum's leaders of not loving America. "The serious concerns raised in this report are not about a few exhibits or a few controversial labels," the report says. "As it stands today, it would benefit most Americans, especially parents bringing their children for a tour, if the Smithsonian's flagship history museum had a label at every entrance that reads: 'Warning: the exhibits in this museum were prepared by people who don't want you to love your country.'" Hartig pushed back against this claim on Tuesday and invited lawmakers to visit the museum to view its contents themselves. "I believe what you will find, madams and sirs, is not an institution that has forgotten its country, but one that loves it enough to tell the full sweep of history, our triumphs and our struggles," she said. "I love the United States of America. I consider it the privilege of my career to help preserve its treasures and serve the American people."
Below, Democrats shaming themselves in public.
The director of the Smithsonian National Museum of American History, Anthea M. Hartig, came under fire on Tuesday at a congressional hearing over a recent White House report that accused her of "radical activist ideology" and the museum of undermining "faith in American institutions." ... Representative Tim Burchett, a Tennessee Republican and chairman of the Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency, an arm of DOGE that held the hearing, focused on content in two recent exhibitions: "Entertainment Nation," which explores the history of entertainment and "Girlhood (It's complicated)," which discussed gender identity. "You have pictures of bondage, you have some overtly sexual things up there, you have transgendered folks," he said. "In another exhibit, a 6-year-old girl asked why she doesn't have male genitalia. Do you really think that content is appropriate for children? I mean, do you think little girls have penises?" Representative Nancy Mace of South Carolina asked Ms. Hartig to list how many genders there are and said, "When was your gender revealed to you?" The museum director responded, "I don't really think that's relevant to the conversation" and generally answered in measured tones, explaining at one point that the "Girlhood" show "was not designed for children" and had a label informing parents about some of the topics. Ms. Hartig contested the thrust of the recent White House report about the museum she leads. "We unwaveringly attest that it does not fairly or accurately characterize the full body of work at the museum," Ms. Hartig said at the hearing, "Rewriting American History: Examining the Smithsonian's Efforts to Reshape the Past," while acknowledging that "there is always room for improvement." "When historians talk about reframing a traditional narrative, we don't mean erasing it," she continued. "We mean adding the evidence, the voices, the objects that earlier tellings left out so that more Americans can see themselves reflected in the national story.

Surprisingly enough, that was the impetus from the Manhattan project right from the start. America needs to build this thing as fast as possible with the very highest priority and it may shorten or end the war. Every single day counts.
People cavalierly claim “oh they would have surrendered in a month or two”. When you’re losing 5000 a week, that isn’t much consolation.
People who aren’t slated to invade the home islands, people removed by decades from the event, they don’t think right.
It’s more pseudo-intellectual twaddle. Oppenheimer and the longhairs were not exactly happy about nuking people. But as they wrote in their report, they could find no practical alternative.

can we stop pretending the parties are “the same” yet
Republicans want to loot the Smithsonian, sell off whatever they don't want, then whitewash anything remaining. Good for the Democrats who speak out against the destruction of a fine institution.
The real issue here isn’t whether the Smithsonian should be more patriotic or more critical, it is whether the White House can pressure a supposedly independent cultural institution into telling history the way it wants it told. Once that happens, the debate stops being about scholarship and starts becoming about control.
The Smithsonian 100% takes sides, the issue Trump
And MAGA has is they take the side of actual truth and the right can’t have that light being shined on them.

Since white people are more pinkish, shouldn't we be comparing chocolate and strawberry ice cream popularity?
I mean if we are going to play this stupid game.
And for the record it is much harder to make good strawberry ice cream because chocolate has a stronger flavor - strawberry is more subtle and so you have to be very careful to make it isn't overwhelmed by the sweetness...

@WallStreetApes
What a SCAM
So California is losing hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue from people buying electric cars and not needing SMOG checks anymore
So the state is considering a new program called VSSI checks, Vehicle Safety Systems Inspection checks to be mandatory to make up for the money they are losing
This is what’s being talked about in the community of people who own SMOG check businesses, these are the whispers of what’s coming
The Vehicle Safety Systems Inspection was launched by the Bureau of Automotive Repair in 2021
Right now it’s not for all vehicles, it’s primarily required for salvage, rebuilt and reconstructed vehicles before DMV registration
It goes over things like brakes, lights, steering, suspension, tires, body structure, etc.
So the rumors are that Democrats are thinking about making this be the new mandatory check that will replace their SMOG revenue
California Democrats need to be removed. They keep doing insane things and you can’t vote them out of office because we all know they rig the elections
This check is what will likely be used later on to check your mileage for the mileage tax. I bet it’s all connected

This has been true since at least the 1980's when I was in college. Professors literally had students make things up and insert them into "research" papers or "position" papers, usually things that had nothing to do with the subject at hand. This was considered cutting edge academia.
Same thing was true in architectural school design classes. More about modern, ugly sculpture than buildings that were beautiful and functional.
It is the corollary of "throw shit at the wall and see if it sticks." The elitist incorporation of nonsense in a world that demands sense.

VSSI is probably best where it should be now, inspecting wrecks that need serious work to be roadworthy.
What doesn't make sense is VSSI for electrics and newer ICE cars. Many of these vehicles won't even start unless all safety systems check in.
Neighbor's popped the hood in the garage to check fluids, discovered it needed topping off of the brake fluid, lowered the hood but didn't latch it so he could drive up the driveway to the shop 100' away and the car wouldn't move unless the hood was latched.
Modern cars aggressively look for ways to force the owner to flat-bed it to the dealer.

The Smithsonian Institution is not under any single federal agency; it operates as an independent trust instrumentality of the United States created by Congress in 1846. While it is sometimes classified as an executive agency for specific legal purposes (such as property management), it is organizationally separate from the legislative, executive, and judicial branches.
Governance and Status The institution is overseen by a 17-member Board of Regents rather than a cabinet secretary or agency head. This board includes the Chief Justice, the Vice President, six members of Congress, and nine private citizens. Because of this unique structure, the Smithsonian is exempt from several federal laws that govern standard executive agencies, such as the Freedom of Information Act and the Administrative Procedure Act.

It's a national museum. If it's engaging in anything less than a triumphant depiction of the nation as the greatest culture to ever exist, it has no reason to.
This goes for the US, or Sentinel Island. If I were one of those illiterate cannibals and took my kids to climb the rope walkways through the canopy, I'd expect to them to enjoy an interactive exhibit where they feast on bushmeat sculpted to look like Michael Rockefeller, and ride in his canoe back down.

Besides, I don't see any cops. I'm going to teach my six kids from my 4 hoochies how to do my tag so it lives on. Then I saw it, a car parked and running. No driver in sight. Mine, baby.

Psalm 82.
Also, you have to remember when Jesus quotes this, where he normally says "The Law", here he says "Your law", because he's referring to the rabbinic tradition which construes "You are gods" as addressed to the "Children of Israel".
He's contrasting them to their traditional interpretation. He is not as much confirming it.

That always seems to be the sticking point when you point out examples of Henotheism in the Bible.

John Solomon: The Same Media Who Proclaimed That China's Theft of 40 Million Voter Records from the UK Was a Major Breach Now Says That China's Hacking of 220 Million American Voter Files is NBD
And it's not just that. A few days ago I linked an email in which an American intel officer complained about the inconsistent -- and corrupt -- treatment of the two cases. In the case of the UK voter files hacking, the American (liberal) intelligence Regime declared it to be what it was -- election interference.
But they refused to apply that same term to the theft of five and a half times as many US voter files. In fact, they "scrubbed" the language to remove any references to Chinese election interference in the US. I didn't report what that whistleblower was complaining about when I mentioned it last time, only that he complained of inconsistent treatment of the same facts. Thisreport from John Solomon clarifies that the intelligence officer (and presumably whistleblower) was complaining that his higher-ups were protecting China (and the Democrat Party) by refusing to call a spade a spade.
In case you missed it: an email admits the IC is "massaging" reports -- falsifying them, in so many words -- to avoid letting Trump know China is influencing US elections (in the Democrats' favor).
When the Biden Justice Department announced that Chinese hackers had gotten their hands on Great Britain's publicly available voter files in 2024, American news media clamored with stories claiming it was a "dangerous" breach. The same, too, when U.S. officials announced Russia and Iran had hacked small numbers of U.S. voter files in 2020 and 2021. The reason was simple: U.S. intelligence agencies believe the targeting and acquisition of voter registration files is an act of election interference. "Election interference is a subset of election influence targeted at the technical aspects of the election, including voter registration, casting and counting of ballots and reporting of results," an October 2020 National intelligence Council report on election interference explains. In other words, the compromising of election voter registration data, is, by the definition of intelligence agencies, an act of election interference.
Nothing to see here, move along, legacy media now says When President Donald Trump presented confirmed evidence last Thursday night that China had compromised and obtained 220 million American voter registration files, the news media swung 180 degrees in the opposite direction. They argued it was old news (it was not) and not a big deal because you can buy limited data in America related to voter registration commercially. According to security experts, that limited data accessibility is not the same thing. The intelligence agencies in the very documents that Trump declassified and made public for his announcement show the voting integrity and security concerns. In 2022, the National Security Agency became especially concerned that China had escalated its exploitation of voter data by assigning a "CNE." That's a person or unit who are hackers and cyberthieves. Legacy news media have ignored this fact, while center-right-leaning publications were not as quick to dismiss the accuracy or impact of the data breach. The Washington Times reported that "Trump said during his primetime address on Thursday that the People's Republic of China acquired 220 million U.S. voter files containing names, addresses, phone numbers, political party preferences, and other sensitive information. Shortly after the speech, the White House released to the public dozens of declassified documents containing partially redacted findings, including data showing nearly 278,000 noncitizens who are registered to vote in federal elections and details over a "slow-walked" 2020 FBI investigation in Michigan." Great Britain's voter files are commercially available in limited form like America's. But China got versions of the British that caused the Biden administration to indict China for hacking 40 million British voter files. According to the BBC, the British government called it "malicious" interference in their election. In 2021, the Biden Justice Department indicted two Iranian hackers for accessing just 100,000 voter files from a single state where it is also commercially available. They were charged with criminally interfering in the 2020 election even though voter files are commercially available in limited form. If China's acquisition of 40 million files in Great Britain and Iran's acquisition of 100,000 files in America were both charged as criminal election interference, it would seem the acquisition of 220 million voter files almost certainly would be considered by the intelligence community to be an act of interference. At this point, what difference does it make? Whether the data breach would have or could have flipped the election is beside the point. Experts interviewed by Just the News agreed. Former CIA operations officer Rick de la Torre called the news media's dismissal of Trump's claims "absurd." "Of course, this is election interference," he added. "With that information, with that data, you know the Chinese government can exploit it. They can target specific individuals. They can do all kinds of things. They could request ballots. They could change people's identifications. They know now how they vote. They know what their political parties are. They know how often they vote." "Imagine if China hacked into the Pentagon and stole every military service member's personnel file," he told Just the News. "You know, you wouldn't say, 'Oh well, that's not really a big deal. That's not a threat from a national security standpoint.' You know, that's absurd. ... The suppression by intelligence officials for years of the voter file breaches and other Chinese malign actions is captured in documents showing FBI officials boasting they created a "shadow government" and NSA officials "massaged" the president's intelligence briefing to hide the evidence. By 2021, after Trump left office, intelligence community officials marveled at the complete 180-degree pivot the Biden spy agencies did by suddenly suggesting China might be interfering in elections. Nothing had changed. The voter data was known by frontline analysts to have been compromised the year before and was continuing. But all of a sudden, the language changed, a dynamic captured in this gem of an email from a top intelligence expert on election cyberactivities. "Take a minute a read through this report," an intelligence officer wrote on Dec. 23, 2021. "It cites some of the same intel and logic used in 2020 to say that these same units were not engaged in election influence but were instead only issue focused, to now argue that China IS influencing the [redacted election."] The intelligence community knew in 2020 that China had illicitly obtained voter files. They knew such an act met the definition of "election interference." They just suppressed it.
DISCONNECTING THE DOTS: China’s 'multi-domain' influence operation was suppressed by striking references to the 2020 election and "massaging" intelligence reports for the President.

@paulsperry_ NEW: Despite what we now know was hard evidence of China's meddling in the 2020 election, Biden failed to sanction China but instead slapped sanctions on Russia in response to a biased ICA on 2020 interference, while clucking how Putin "will pay a price" for "probably" directing a campaign to launder "disinformation" about his corrupt family ties in Ukraine thru "right wing media." We now know the NY Post's story was neither disinformation nor generated by Russia, and Hunter's laptop was authentic and the incriminating emails contained on it were real. It was Biden and anti-Trump spooks who were running a disinformation campaign and interfering in the election.

What's old is new again...Nixon's legacy is experiencing a comeback, with Gen z conservatives helping "Nixonmaxxing" vids go viral. The modern media looked the other way on Hillary/Obama spying on Trump. Nixon's coverup of his staff's crimes pales in comparison.
"In a speech at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library, Vice President JD Vance, a longtime, outspoken admirer of Nixon, made headlines when he joked that Watergate would have been a “12-hour news story” in today’s media environment.
He compared what he called “deep state” efforts against Nixon to attempts to undermine Trump and noted Nixon’s legacy was experiencing a renaissance."

Here's the thing for me.
A lot of counties and states have their voting records available on public facing websites, correct?
People do searches on them all the time.
How is it 'hacking' if it's publicly available information?
Did they actually break into systems and steal non-public data, too?
What are the Chinese doing with the data?
I've seen speculation about what they could do with it, but never an answer on what, if anything, they're trying to do with the info they hacked.
That bit has stuck in my crawl since 2017 and Russia Russia Russia!
It's all vague, and imprecise, and sus, so I get skeptical.

The OPM breach wasn’t a hack. The JEF administration outsourced database management to a Chinese cutout firm.
This means for example, photos, fingerprints, DNA samples, name and address of next of kin, children, and security questionaire and the rest of it. Foreign service individuals, military, anybody on the Federal payroll for any reason.
Now intereestingly enough, with Root access to database, unscrupulous types could create individuals or craft perfect background checks for spies and saboteurs, virtually undetectable.

In 2017 me and a friend were theorizing that Trump was a shoo-in for 2020.
So I asked him when would be the best time to black swan the election (similar to 2008 but different because it was an incumbent) - leaving Trump too little time to materially do anything about it, and enough time where they could make an electoral difference.
We both agreed on Spring 2020. So yes. Of course it was intentional. Otherwise the commies are just the luckiest people ever.

In Fortnite, there was a recent skin with fitted Euro style pants for a male character, my son played a lot. Definitely a trending style for guys.
This might interest the Morons...Fornite is doing "Hot Bat Summer," you can get Batman characters running around in swimsuits. There's "beach bod Batman," shirtless, but you can also get Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, and Catwoman running around in skimpy suits.

They didn’t have to. The Democrats gave it to them, or sold it cheap anyhow.
Congress hauled some clueless bint from OPM in to yell at her for a few minutes and “We shall never speak of this again” was the predictable result. They do this over and over and over and over.
Government types are never punished for “mistakes”, it didn’t take too long for them to figure out they won’t be punished for even purposeful malice and malfeasance or misfeasance. We’ve been watching them get away with this shit for 50 years.
Up until recently they would not have deigned to even report it. They kinda have to, but they don’t want to.

Yeah, that is good for the likes of Comey and Brennan, but I bet hundreds, thousands, of people in fed.gov need to be prosecuted for something, and the DOJ rarely bothers from what I can see.
Even Page & Strzok ended up getting paid off by the FBI through a lawsuit they filed after getting fired. The DOJ obviously never thought twice about prosecuting them for anything.

IIRC, there really is no "China", since they are worse than the USGov - there are interlocking interests, and have surprising independence in what they can do if they can swing it. The influence people like Neville Roy Singham carries probably has more to do with how much such people can fund or do for a section of the Chinese state, than any ideological stance they have. Millionaires can fund special intelligence operations if the central government won't kick funds free.
In a way, that was the structure of the British intelligence service up and through WWI. Sidney Riley was self funding for the Brits, mostly.

Various community organizers and activists use that registered illegal's address as a depot. They then register legal citizens (homeless) and use that address after adding on "Apartment # _____". That way 20 or 30 people can vote from the same address. It's best if the illegal is in the dark, and the fact that they are keeps them from voting. There is less risk of being caught.

I can't disclose anymore information than that.

This is so much more an easier to convince the public on how large scale cheating can be done rather than "the voting machines are hacked!" supposed conspiracy theories (they bankrupted America's Mayor Giuliani over these claims). It's a super easy method, many examples in the news, some of which even get through mainstream media filters.

Chy-nah has been buying up this country for decades. They most likely saved up all their pennies thinking it was going to be super-expensive to buy off the US media and the DC elites, but it turned out that our public servants and leaders were cheaper than the weenie washers at a Mississippi rest stop. Afterwards they realized they had enough left over to buy Hollywood and sportsball, plus trips to Disney and Seaworld.

BLM Organizer Harrangues Hapless Homosexual James Talarico at Campaign Stop, Threatening "Consequences" If She is Not Racially Appeased
Last month, unqualified DEI-charity case and uneducated moron Jasmine Crockett said she didn't know if she'd campaign for likely closeted white homosexual James Talarico. She said the entire race -- all of it -- was "racist," and she demonstrated Ghetto Entitlement by strongly implying that she wasn't just guaranteed the right to fairly compete for political office, but was guaranteed a win based on her race, sex, and DEI. And that anyone who interferes with that Guaranteed DEI Outcome is a racist.
Crockett argued that racism, not politics, was the deciding factor in her Democrat primary loss to James Talarico. "The reality is that there was a lot of races, not a lot, it was racist. It was a racist race. It is what it is, right? But we live in America as y'all are celebrating 250, okay? We know what this country is," Crockett said. Crockett rejected criticism that she should have spent more time campaigning alongside Talarico. Instead, she said her strategy was to help down-ballot candidates, pointing to five black men she endorsed in Texas runoff races who all advanced to the November election. "The best thing that I can do for James Talarico isn't me standing on a stage with him," Crockett said. "It is the fact that I endorsed five candidates in the runoff who all happen to be black men in the state of Texas and every single one of them won." She pushed back on criticism that she should have campaigned more directly for Talarico, saying giving voters multiple candidates to support is a more effective strategy for boosting turnout. "People keep trying to say, 'Well, Jasmine has to go and hold his hand.' No, I don't," she said. "If you can give people more than one thing to vote for, then you have a better chance of getting them out to the polls." ... Crockett previously said she does not believe black voters have fully united behind Talarico's Senate campaign and confirmed she will skip next week's Texas Democrat Party convention.
There is no "I" in team, but there is definitely an "I" in DEI. As Talarico's supporters criticized Crockett for having promised to campaign for Talarico, if he should win, before her loss, and now refuses to do so, Talarico attempted to calm down the woman who has gotten her way her whole life precisely by not being calm about anything, telling his gay supporters to show the unrespectable Ratchett "respect."
James Talarico, the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Texas, is speaking out against his supporters who have continuously disparaged his former opponent in the race, U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett. "If you claim to be my supporter, if you claim to be a part of this movement that we are building, please keep Congresswoman Crockett's name out of your mouth," Talarico demanded on Sunday during a town hall in Houston. The remarks were significant as the residue of Talarico and Crockett's primary contest had continued to stain the Democratic nominee's campaign as he worked to win over Black voters, most of whom backed Crockett. Talarico was joined by U.S. Rep. Christian Menefee, who represents Texas's 18th Congressional District, and other Democratic leaders in Houston, an area that Crockett won over Talarico. For months, both during and after the primary election, Crockett and her supporters have called out the racism and sexism she faced from those who claimed to support Talarico's campaign. However, Talarico said on Sunday that anyone who backs him should give Crockett the respect she deserves and has earned. "She's a leader in this country, and she deserves the utmost respect," said Talarico, who described Crockett as a "friend" with whom he worked when they served together in the Texas State House of Representatives.Well, the kind of voter Ratchet bases her whole appeal on doesn't want "respect." They want Guaranteed DEI Outcomes. So they, like Ratchet herself, are shouting angrily. I can't stress this enough -- this is their whole plan to get people to give them things, shouting and making unreasonable demands and calling people "racist." At a campaign stop, Ratchet's Strategically Unreasonable supporters shouted down the dweebishly gay Talarico and told him there would be "consequences" for not giving them more respect, which means what it always means in BLMese, which is privileges and outcomes not earned by coerced by racial bullying.
Obviously, I'm happy that Jasmine Ratchet is putting out the word to her fellow race-based Democrats that they should boycott the senate election to teach whitey a lesson. But I am getting tired of this whole BLM act:
Washington Free Beacon
@FreeBeacon Texas Democrat James Talarico appears to have a black voter problem. As Talarico attempted to wind down a campaign stop in southwest Houston on Sunday, a black woman who was waiting to ask a question interjected to yell, "Black people don't trust you for this reason. And you cannot win without us. So you stay here, you answer our questions, or you suffer the consequences."

Talarico added that Black Texans--a group he failed to sway despite winning the Democratic primary in March--were a particular focus. According to The New York Times, U.S. Representative Jasmine Crockett--who ran against Talarico in the primary--secured over 86 percent of the votes from predominantly Black areas. Talarico, meanwhile, safely won the white and Latino vote, securing a 53 percent to 46 percent victory in the overall contest. ... The Houston Chronicle identified the woman who spoke up as Kandice Webber, an activist and organizer for the Houston wing of Black Lives Matter. Newsweek has contacted Webber via Facebook for comment outside regular working hours. In the video, someone informs the crowd that Talarico would answer one more question, prompting audible frustration from parts of the audience. Following this, Webber tells Talarico directly that she drove 45 minutes to attend, wanted the event to be televised and would not leave until he answered her questions.In case you forgot, Jasmine Ratchet declared that Karmelo Anthony was justified in murdering a white kid with no provocation:

God does not have a sex. So, he's naturally not in that binary. However, He has chosen to portray Himself as Father and Son. So, He is gendered.
God's non-binarality does not mean anything for humans who invented "non-binary" for people who usually do have a fixed sex.
We should only make it as simple as it can be while maintaining true statements.

God is of neither sex, therefore cut off your genitals if you don't like (the way God made) them, is exactly the wrong takeaway from that.
The angels don't have a sex either, it is quite likely. In fact, it is doubtful and unnecessary that any "spiritual being" is sexed.

Interesting take!
I have a supposed unorthodox take on the nature of the trilogy, because my religion doesn't follow the Nicene Creed. But then I also have my own unorthodox takes within my actual church doctrine about the trilogy.
I realize that, if I was running as a candidate, if I spew thede beliefs out in the public square as if I am God's gift, I should expect to get pushback for it. But to be fair, his takes on BBQ are more sacrilegious to Texans than his takes on God. I don't see him coming back from that.
Talarico doesn't realize that if one of Crockett's followers shivs him, she will not shed one tear for him. He denied the queen her entitled anointing, after all! Suicidal empathy strikes again.

It's so bad, even blacks have black fatigue. Imagine if white revcoms presumed to speak for whites generally, going around posturing about "White Power" when they mean Socialist Ruling Clique Power.
Well, I guess neo-nazis do that. So imagine if a political candidate couldn't hold a rally in any state where whites live (which is any state at all) without being harangued by loud, angry neo-nazis purporting to represent you and your interests. Just seeing the videos would be exhausting!

The "outrage" against Talarico is manufactured by bad actors. They should be singled out and invited to continue to live with GOP rule. He's currently polling stronger with black voters than Beto and Allred were at this point in their respective races.
They want money. It's local black GOTV ops wrecking his events because he has raised tens of millions and they weren't being cut in.
This is the person that heckled him: Webber said “real Black folks” were going to sit the election out to teach “white moderates” a lesson about earning the support of Black voters.
She would prefer Paxton, win over Talarico trying to “instill your great white hope in my motherfucking people and watch you let us down." "I'm not fixing to let your white moderates win, because in 2028, we need to elect a new motherfucking president. And if you white moderates and you lowly ass fucking candidates like James Talarico keep pulling your shit, we’re going to end up with another Trump."
Calling Talarico moderate when Jasmine Crockett was their champion is insane work

I said it's because of Critical Theory, because critical theory is Marxism, and a standard of Marxism is that institutions cannot be reformed.
Thus, it moved from tuning our behavior to whether or not we tolerated that institutions had not been razed to the ground and replaced.
And if you're comfortable with institutions continuing on, that made you NOT "anti-racist", and by an insufficiency to be "anti-racist", it made you racist.
So, it became less about improving behavior and more about Marxism and whether there could be reform and whether you personally were for the utter destruction of all systems that predate the Affirmative Action (the Democratic party being the CHIEF exception).

Framing MAGA as extreme doesn’t even withstand the most pedestrian scrutiny. The agenda is popular and was reflected in the voting. Contrast that against what the Democrats are preaching and you will find very substantial, material, factual differences.

Van Jones just did a whole segment on how he is absolutely a progressive democrat but this is crazy. What was funny about it is he said this is the exact type of crazy that has “made the Republican Party a shell of its formal self” and he not about to let that happen to the Dems. Basically, he was saying the DSA is to the Dems what MAGA is to the Republicans. Well, what they think MAGA is. Though his premise is crazy, the points he made in it were not.

Another thing, as we were saying yesterday, is that Van Jones considers all this UNEXPECTED. Where did these crazy ideas come from? This is not the natural consequence of the progressivism that I know! Is this the reaction to MAGA? (By george, maybe we do have another thing to blame on Trump...)

So even if you accept the first statement, you need assisting statements to entail the next statement.
The Lord says "My thoughts are not your thoughts". Okay, where does that leave us when taken all by itself. Does that mean we cannot think the Lord's thoughts? Does that mean there is or is not an overlap?
Negative statements are by their nature limited. So, there is nothing specifically that can be concluded from God's lack of genitals (outside of Jesus, it should be noted).

She might mean it. I read the review at Tablet and it summed it up as great movie-making, but it's simply not The Odyssey. It's not the story of a hero, but more of that lib-style new "man" who compromises and wimps out all the way to the end, which is another wimp-out. It could be that Emily Wilson, despite her weird ground-level interpretation, understands that Homer's epic is a different story from the one Nolan tells.
I'm gonna skip it.

This only works if DSA is doing what MAGA did...appealing to the forgotten men and women of America, aka the blue collar workers and lower middle class that keep things humming. JFK democrats. The Dems instead threw over this huge voting bloc for cheap illegal labor, and is advancing tech jobs that are replacing them.
If DSA is truly like MAGA, it will try to get back its blue collar workers. But those workers don't want communism, they just want a fair shake. DSA is for screechy woke nepo red diaper babies force fed Critical Race Theory in college, that want to blow up the Constitution, and already have a huge, loud voice.
DSA will never appeal to blue collar workers, MAGA does. DSA and MAGA are NOT The same.

Crockett had the SEIU Texas, and Talarico secured the Texas AFL-CIO for the general election ticket. There are several union-backed civil rights groups in TX & they bridge a gap to protect marginalized workers within the Texas AFL-CIO Constituency Groups.
Suddenly, on 7/19, Talarico was reported to have directly confronted his own base during a town hall in Houston. Addressing a primarily Black audience, he issued a viral rebuke:
"If you claim to be my supporter, if you claim to be a part of this movement that we are building, please keep Congressman Crockett's name out of your mouth,"
and demanded Crockett be shown "the utmost respect," acknowledging her immense leadership.

Same conflict back in the 60s between Mao and Che Guevara. Mao took the long view, and knew that it would take decades to achieve a socialist victory. So he warned against trying to go too fast.
Che the Idiot was largely Maoist, except for the velocity of the revolution. Total lack of patience, so he came up with his own version of Maoist thought that he called Focoism, which basically held that violence against the reactionaries would inspire the proletariat to support the revolution. Never mind that it would also inspire the powers-that-be to crush the revolution like a bug, before the revolutionaries could gather enough strength to effectively resist.

There is no equivalent, in MAGA to
1. Abolish the presidency
2. Abolish the Supreme Court
3. Abolish the Senate
4. Congress (only the House) elects a sort of Prime Minister.
There is no equivalent to "We must remake the entire structure of government to purist idea of democracy". In fact, there is no remaking government at all.
We just want the swamp drained, i.e. the corruption that should not be an official part of government, and is only "Constitutional" in the heads of certain ideologue judges.

The real DEM voice of reason is Fetterman, and he's acting like he's gonna switch.
I believe him when he says he may drop the big D behind his name, if only because he couldn't win a DEM primary in PA now if his only opponent was Jack the Ripper.
The PA GOP voters like him. The DEMs hate his guts. Fetterman isn't up until '28, so there's no time pressure on him to switch.
However, Fetterman recently announced a "joint fundraiser" with his PA Senate colleague Dave McCormick (R-PA). You ever hear of anything like that before? I haven't.

Michigan Appeals Court Reverses Two More Convictions in Fake-News Gretchen Whitmer "Fednapping" Prosecutions
The Regime wants to prove that "right wingers" commit as much terrorism as left wingers.
But they don't. So they have to manufacture offenses.A Michigan appeals court on Monday overturned two more convictions related to the 2020 kidnapping plot of Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, ruling that it was obligated to overturn the convictions based on precedent. Pete Musico and Paul Bellar were previously convicted of providing material support for an act of terrorism in the plot, alongside Joseph Morrison, whose conviction was overturned by a different appeals panel last month. The new appeals court ruled that it was obligated to apply that ruling to Musico and Bellar as well and overturn the convictions, according to the Associated Press. None of the three men were accused of playing a direct role in the plot to kidnap the governor and the courts said kidnapping does not qualify as a "violent felony" under Michigan's anti-terrorism law. Although none of the men had a direct role in the plot, they were part of a paramilitary group that trained with Adam Fox, who was convicted of leading the plot and is serving 16 years in prison for the crime. A total of nine people were convicted in relation to the plot.Meanwhile, in the UK, the Regime denied that there was any political or terroristic motive in the murder of a Reform Party official by a deranged communist.
The Crown Prosecution Service announced on Monday afternoon that it has charged a man with one count of murder in connection with the death of Brexit heroine Ann Widdecombe. Joshua Kerry, 28, of Byrley Road in Rotherham, is set to appear on Tuesday before the Westminster Magistrates' Court, where he will answer the charge of murdering former government minister Ann Widdecombe, who was killed in her Dartmoor home earlier this month at the age of 78.On CNN, the incompetent partisan DEI guest host subbing in for incompetent DEI regular host Abby Philips suggests that ICE was responsible for their own firebombing yesterday:
While initial comments by the Devon and Cornwall Police claimed that there was no evidence for a political motive for the alleged murder, this was later overturned, and Counter Terror Policing South East took over the investigation. Kerry's charge on Monday was authorised by the Counter Terrorism Division of the Crown Prosecution Service, the CPS said in a statement. The chief prosecutor for the Special Crime and Counter Terrorism Division, Frank Ferguson, said: "We have decided to prosecute Joshua Kerry for murder following a police investigation into the death of Ann Widdecombe in Haytor, Dartmoor. "Police enquiries into the defendant's motives are ongoing, including a potential political or terrorist connection." ... Widdecombe, a strident free speech advocate and devout Christian, had been a mainstay of British public life for decades, serving as a Member of Parliament for Maidstone from 1987 to 2010, during which time she served as a government minister in the John Major government.

The FBI did get some hillbilly retards to take the bait.
But it was more than just discussions. They did get some of these morons to build explosives, physically surveille Witch's house, etc.
So yea, I think it was legally entrapment in all but maybe the case of two of the guys.
None of these idiots were good guys, but those two were really bad guys, and had their convictions affirmed on appeal.

They think that appearance is all that exists: there is no truth.
They also know their side is violent. (Yes, that's a truth, but they are also masters of doublethink.)
So they need to create the appearance that it's "both sides" at the very least.

Ann Widdecombe was bludgeoned 21 times over the head with a hammer in a 'ferocious' two-minute attack captured on camera, a court heard today.
The 78-year-old former minister was ambushed in her own kitchen by a hammer-wielding intruder while she was having her lunch, it was said.
Disturbing details of her brutal murder emerged today as her alleged killer Joshua Kerry appeared in court for the first time.
The 28-year-old is alleged to have walked into the former MP's kitchen through an unlocked front door asking, 'Don't suppose you have bank cards and ID?' as he held a hammer out of sight.
Prosecutors described the violence used as 'ferocious' saying Kerry struck the victim 21 times before shoving her body to the floor, rifling through her handbag for a wallet and fleeing the scene.
Today it emerged for the first time that the pensioner died from a 'blunt force injury to the head'.
But, just hours earlier a coroner had insisted the cause of death was unascertained.

It was basically some duffuses that like to play paintball in the woods standing around a garage one night getting drunk and one of them said, "somebody ought to do something about that dumb bitch."
And everything from there on to "do something" was all FBI agents; one agent buying the materials from another agent, one agent agreeing with another agent on "let's do this" in the group chat and so on and so on.
Am I simplifying it? Exaggerated downplay?

Erf has now slowed back down. It's been about 10 years since a leap second was needed, and it will be a few more likely before the next, which will be the longest run without since the current UTC scheme was instituted in '72.

Always give your dogs a one syllable name. That way, when you are chasing the down the street, it's much easier to yell "Sam" or "Max" instead of "Winston Rothschild the 4th!"

According to an Israeli security official, Iran's new supreme leader is no longer in the country, while Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commander Ahmad Vahidi and other senior officials are drafting statements in his name. The official also claimed the US does not want Israel to participate in offensive operations, even if the Iranian regime attacks it.

Over the course of the year, the earth's rotation varies a bit of 2 ms, or 4 orders of magnitude greater than that effect.
45% of that 2ms variation is due to the movements of Stacey Abrams.

According to the official, Tehran planned and set in motion a complex operation aimed at assassinating senior Israeli figures in central Tel Aviv. The plot was intended as direct retaliation for the killing of Iran's previous supreme leader, Ali Khamenei.
The source also said the US did not want Israel to take part in offensive operations, even if the Iranian regime attacked it. "The internal divisions in Iran are deep and threaten the very existence of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps," the official claimed.

Building generates economic activity. People invest in them to support themselves in old age since family sizes are small. But since the construction is shoddy and planning is awful, people are finding out that these cities have no future and the current generation is gonna blow up when the scam comes into the open.

Isn’t that how they all get their nicknames? But you can yell whatever you want to an escapee Shiba. They aren’t coming back unless and until they want to come back. It’s insane. It’s part of the breed warnings. And it isn’t that they don’t understand the concept of recall, because I can call Saijo all day long on the house and he comes. If he is dragging his leash, he will come when called. Off leash? Sayonara. They are a true basal breed and just don’t really care about all of this. What I don’t understand, though, is they were originally breed as hunting dogs. How did the hunters get them back? Were they single use Shibas?

Border Patrol Wanted to Question Fauci's Catspaw Peter Daszak When He Returned from the Wuhan Lab in China.
The FBI Blocked Them from Asking Fauci's Pal Any Questions.
Fauci refused to appear before Congress voluntarily to answer questions about his previous perjuries and obstructions of Congress, and is now facing a subpoena.
Senate Homeland Security Chairman Rand Paul released new documents Monday that he said revealed the FBI stopped Customs and Border Patrol from searching and questioning Peter Daszak upon his return to the United States from China. .. Paul said that CBP was prepared to stop Daszak, who was the president of EcoHealth Alliance at the time, when he landed in New York in February 2021, but was told by the FBI days before Daszak landed not to question him and the inspection never took place.
CBP was reportedly expected to ask Daszak about his contacts at the Wuhan lab, whether he collected or transported biological samples, and what happened during his trip to China.
Anthony Fauci will face a subpoena to testify publicly in July, a lawmaker said Monday. According to a social media post from Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, Fauci, former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, has been issued a subpoena to testify before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. The development comes as Fauci said he would not voluntarily testify after previously agreeing to do so, Paul said. "Today, I have issued a subpoena requiring him to testify before the Committee, in public, next month," Paul said in the post. ... Conservative commentator Michael Knowles said Fauci committed "clear perjury" in 2024 congressional testimony during an appearance on NewsNation's "CUOMO," claiming the former public health official lied under oath about his contacts with the U.S. intelligence community over COVID-19's origins. The accusation came on the heels of outgoing Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard releasing a tranche of documents on her final day in office, which she said proved Fauci worked to suppress the truth about the coronavirus's lab-leak origins and U.S. funding of related research. Knowles pointed to CIA memoranda and whistleblower accounts he said show Fauci did discuss COVID's origins with intelligence officials -- directly contradicting his 2024 sworn testimony. "That was clear perjury, and that's within the statute of limitations," Knowles said. "We know that from CIA briefings. We know that from whistleblowers."
Note that if he lies again, he can be prosecuted. But he will almost certainly plead the Fifth and answer no questions. Happy Tuesday. I hope everyone's cool and in the shade.

I already know what was really going on: a massive criminal money-laundering scheme to funnel piles of cash to Democrap cronies and pet interests.
The lab was never supposed to function as an actual lab or do any real research into anything other than how to get their hands on the top secret crop report before it goes public.

Also, never forget the name Ralph Baric, UNC Chapel Hill. He was the one who taught the Bat Woman at Wuhan her trade, and played a big role himself in the mess that was Covid.
He's pretty much getting away with it. There was an effort in NC to get the legislature to investigate Baric's role in this, at least his activities at UNC in the state. They just refused to it. And he got some "Tar Heel of the Year" award for his perfidy.

He's responsible for almost 7M deaths worldwide.
He indirectly killed more people that the Nazi concentration camps did.
He ruined the academic performance of millions of American school children.
He caused the failure of untold small businesses that didn't survive the Covid shutdowns.
He ruined the careers of actual scientists who pointed out his lies.
And then lied about everything over and over.
He has no soul or conscience.

Unfortunately government, corporations, and ngos are full of these sociopaths. Fauci had henchmen in CEO roles at Pfizer and Moderna after all. And all the caring medical professionals that used protocols that blocked visitors to ill patients, issued Remdisivir when it had already proven to be deadly in side effects, and put patients in ventilators effectively killing them in the process.
Fauci may have started the ball rolling but the rest of the vile public health establishment, their counterparts in hospitals, big Pharma, and other practioners sucking on the government tit, and the countless meat robots of the local and state public health agencies. Inhumane death machine.

Yes, they capitalized "Deaf." I really wanted to ask, "Where do the Deaf come from? Is it a country in Asia?"
Because you capitalize proper nouns, not adjectives. They are making "deaf" into a category - a type - of humans, instead of a description of a human.

“We are not sending Medicaid dollars out the door until we have confidence that they are being spent lawfully and appropriately,” Kennedy said at an announcement on Tuesday.
Kennedy said if California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) want the money to fund low-income healthcare, “they need to provide documentation that these payments are legitimate.”

The governor's ability to appoint someone was rescinded. It is now a special election. Whether Andy accepts that is debatable. However at some point the issue will have to be addressed. The issue being whether McConnell's alive, dead, or unable to resume his duties due to whatever.

Cold ain’t so bad. Wet and wind - if you get soaked you ain’t gonna like it. At least in freezing conditions it’s easier to stay dry.
But once temps go below freezing, somewhere around 25 or 20°F it starts to get pretty rude.
When you see a high of say, 5 for the day, it is depressing. Five. Single digits. Then it continues into dangerous territory. High winds & below zero; you’re gonna get cold no matter what, if you stay out long enough.
If it never went below freezing or above 68F it wouldn’t bother me too much

Iran's hope was that the US would invade and they could bog down in a protracted and politically costly affair for Trump. That hope isn't going to be fulfilled. They can cause some anxiety in the shipping lanes, but it is orders of magnitude less than it was. There are logistical solutions that will manifest if they keep being aholes. Long term they were going for the bomb because they saw the handwriting on the wall. Their positional high ground, was never an absolute and with enough economic and political will they can be bypassed. They were on borrowed time and they knew it. Time ran out. They are still in denial.

Trump encouraged her to run and she is accomplished in her own right, not just a nepo baby. The secret to Lindsay Graham's persistence is that he inherited a very good and effective constituency service operation from Strom Thurmond and kept it running. So he routinely beat competitors whether Democrat or GOP because he had helped a helluva lot of constituents in South Carolina.
And contrary to most nepots like the Dingles, the Grahams never sold out and have relatively modest homes and wealth.
So I think Lindsay's sister is the exception to the rule. A similar case is the first female senator elected in her own right, Hattie Caraway, who ended up being a better politician than her dead husband who was a House member and served a very short time as a Senator before dying in office. Hattie surprised the hell outta pols.

It's criminally unfair, emphasis on criminal. Especially because the left never canceled Fauci for being the reason so many gays died of AIDS in the 80s/90s. And he got to enact the same protocols to also failing with Covid to murder even more people.
We have two things in our favor, that help me sleep a little better at night:
First, I know there is a God, and his angels are taking names, and Fauci cannot plead the 5th to his maker.
Second, the left is obsessed, OBSESSED, with being on the "right side of history." Even now, Fauci's legacy is getting tarnished as facts come to light. He will not be on the right side of history. I hope his name is a blot and a stain on his family for generations to come. It will make the ill gotten wealth stick in their throats.

I'm not clear about how many people COVID-19 actually killed, compared to a bad flu year. The destruction inflicted on society, and more than anything the mRNA 'vaccine' injuries, were and are a lot worse.
If that little bastard Fauci just tells Congress he doesn't recall, what can they really do about it?
There is some consolation in the fact that lots of people without autopen pardons can be indicted for Covid-related actions, and there's enough evidence to proceed against them whether they take the 5th or not.

Speaking of Vance...the gay gossip site Data Lounge is going dark at the end of the month, the person running it is calling it quits. Lots of boomer eldergays post there, who still think it's the 80s and all republicans are evil.
They had a thread recently on Usha giving birth. I enjoyed seeing the TDS gays trying to hard to paint JD as someone that is a breeder trying to propagate the white race. And then other gays had to gently remind them, akshually his wife is Indian, so he is breeding mixed race babies...
The amount of racism, anti trans, and anti gay conservative comments over there is something else. A lot of the eldergays have grudges against the trans movement hijacking their spotlight. And you should never ever out a gay person, it's like a hate crime...unless they are conservative, then screw their privacy!

I think it should be done but probably won't for one reason--it will expose our national defense establishment's operation of biological labs throughout the various shit pits of the world doing nefarious gain of function and other crap that would cause holy hell if it was revealed we were doing it in the US. CIA, DoD, etc. have ran a program that started in the aftermath of the Sov Union collapse which paid lab people to do research to keep them out of the hands of Norks, Iran, etc.
And that program mutated into something nasty--plausibly deniable research into activities forbidden by the Chemical and Biological Warfare treaties. Justified because Chicoms, Russians, Iran, Norks, and other shitheads were doing it too--so it was for 'defensive' reasons.

I agree. It is also to the point that Scotus has never adjudicated exactly the reach of presidential pardons as to whether they apply to state prosecutions or not.

So you get ineffectual cat ladies, besties with someone important, who believe in the struggle against white privilege, and will self destruct and take the agency with them before turning away from a policy

Goblet squats are good. I like them. They can be a bit limited by your arm strength. One other option that's a similar position and movement is the squat safety bar. It puts you in a the same upright squat position as a front squat or goblet squat.

🚨 BREAKING: New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill admits the state “accidentally” registered over 6,600 FOREIGNERS to vote, and some of them VOTED
All those who voted should be in HANDCUFFS. And there’s NO WAY there aren’t more.
Per Sherrill, the DMV’s automatic voter registration system was registering people even if they hit “no” on the citizenship question.

I agree. It is also to the point that Scotus has never adjudicated exactly the reach of presidential pardons as to whether they apply to state prosecutions or not. We assume they don't but that appears contrary to original intent and understanding of the Founders. Much like the crappy birthright decision that misread the 14th.

Five things House Democrats are going to do once we have the majority:
Medicare for All
A living wage
Stronger union protections
$10 a day childcare
End aid to Israel
Who's paying for this Medicare?
It's been demonstrated again and again, you pay everyone more and the price of everything goes up at least that much
If unions demand big things from companies, the companies don't make profit and close, no more job
Who's going to provide this childcare for no money?
Israeli interests don't conflict with US interests, they have basically replaced Great Britain as our most useful and reliable ally

So its just YET ANOTHER program ($10 a day daycare, paying each of its workers "a living wage") that will be funded by massive tax funding and a TON of that funding will end up as patronage/grift.

That is an assumption but it appears the Tina Peters pardon by POTUS stirred up some research indicating that it was originally believed to reach state crimes as well. The language of the pardon's clause, "he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States" can be read either federal only or all of the United 'states'. You start getting into textualism and originalism at that point because the plural was used sometimes to mean both states and federal and sometimes just to the federal government itself.
I don't think it has been tested in court for a definitive interpretation and it is simply another thing too many people assume rather than know.
Lawyers by and large are crappy historians because a) they bring an advocacy mindset to such questions, and b) active lawyers only care what the law says now, not what it may have said in the past. So presentism.

Mickey's face is almost entirely white with black hairline, nose, and ears.

I suppose you could argue the exaggerated facial expressions and musical performance is a bit minstrel-y, but that feels like an expansion of the definition. Are all exaggerated musical performances from that era minstrel shows?

The Morning Rant
In what looks like the start of a purge of the Tory 'wets', Gavin Barwell has been told he will not get the Tory whip back following a leave of absence from the House of Lords. The move comes just days after Mrs Badenoch warned that former Tory MPs would not be reselected as candidates if they refused to back her stance on issues like leaving the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) and taking a more pragmatic approach to Net Zero.
She is playing for keeps, and it is clear that she understands that a party that tries to be all things to all people will fail. Here is a columnist from one of Britain's socialist newspapers, predictably frantic that the twin shibboleths of the left: climate and "human rights," will be put on the back burner in favor of actual English people! Kemi declares war on net zero - and what remains of her party
So as of last week, Kemi has put anyone who believes the UK should be meeting its net zero targets by 2050 on the proscribed list for prospective candidates for the Conservative party. Former Tory MPs with dangerously woke views like ... er ... thinking that it might already be too late to combat climate change are no longer welcome. And the same thing applies to any Conservative who still believes the UK should be signed up to the European court of human rights. From now on, anyone who falls into either of these camps is dead to Kemi.
More power to her! Any time the rabid, spittle-flecked left is in an uproar, it means that someone is over the target! [Crossposted at CutJibNewsletter and X/Twitter]. If you folks who are on X/Twitter would follow us it would be much appreciated!

It's amazing to me that after what we've seen in the US over then last 10 years, with Trump being constantly abused by the legal system, people still reflexively believe that Nigel Farage must be guilty of...something. I get that some don't like him because he isn't strong enough for them on immigration, or so they think, but the fact is that he's the one who has fought against the PTB in British politics for a long, long time.

You have to hand it to Kemi Badenoch. She doesn’t take any prisoners. While the rest of us have been trying to survive a heatwave and are wondering if air-con may be needed for future summers, the Tory leader has taken a more hardline approach to climate change. Call it Schrödinger’s climate change. It’s both happening and not happening at the same time.
Kemi is just about sane enough not to be an out-and-out denier. She leaves that to Reform.

Britain, like the US, is always changing. True, it will never go back to Victorian England, Winston Churchill, or perhaps Henry VIII, but it can still recover to the point that it rejoins the world of modern democracy. I think we're seeing the beginning of a Europe-wide backlash against the importation of the 3rd World, and if properly done, a modern society CAN be restored.

The WNBA Players Association (WNBPA) is prohibiting its official business partners from monetizing Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham’s viral 22 second pointing staredown of DeWanna Bonner. The union declared that it will not feature or monetize player conduct stemming from on court confrontations. Cunningham, however, retains her personal NIL rights and can independently monetize the meme.
The WNBPA blocked companies operating under its group licensing agreement, such as 2K, Panini, Lids, and BreakingT, from using the viral image on official merchandise.
The union cited a blanket policy, stating they generally do not "feature or look to monetize player conduct from a confrontation between our members". The union also noted they deemed the gesture "derogatory".
This ban specifically targets the union's licensees. Sophie Cunningham herself is still entirely free to cash in on her Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) by doing independent deals.

In part, "Speaking in an interview for Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg, Badenoch accused Burnham of not being aware of "what the country's priorities are."
After being elected as Labour leader, Burnham gave a speech at the Trade Union Congress headquarters in London on Friday, saying he would deliver "significant change."

Caitlan Clarke for being better then anyone else in the league at the sport they are playing
Sophie Cunningham for being good looking and having charisma.

When did the Narrative flip, exactly? I’ve tried to ponder on this, because when I was younger it was all about eveyone getting along, and not to pre-judge anyone on their race or ethnicity, but only on their character.
At some point, criticism of someone’s character became equated with “racism” too? Sure seems like it. Whether intentionally or not, the entire “Whitey needs to Die” invective seems to be creating a class of people who would seem to be amenable to tribal awareness. How could it not?
I suspect it’s a perfect vehicle to then declare “See! We TOLD YOU y’all are a bunch of racists!” And to younger generations a “whites only” society has to be looking pretty good right now.
Leftists truly are monsters in my book. They aren’t trying to make things better in any way shape or form, simply stirring up shit, and grifting anyway they can.

The town has water restrictions now every summer yet keeps approving new development.
So the people asks doesn't adding people mean we have less water to use per person and if we already have a shortage we obviously shouldn't bring in any more right?
The town answer? The state determines if we have a drought or not so it doesn't matter how many new apartments we build. And no, you still can't use water outdoors because of the drought h8ters!

IIRC, she just signed a shoe deal for an undisclosed sum. It's peanuts next to Caitlan Clark's $28M deal, but still.
The specific financial details and total dollar worth of Sophie Cunningham’s endorsement contract with Adidas have not been publicly disclosed. However, industry experts estimate her total endorsement portfolio—which is anchored by her multi-year Adidas partnership—to be worth easily over $1 million

Pip pip!
Hopefully Kemi realizes the Tories need a new visionary leader. Think of their legacy: Pitt, Thatcher, Churchill, Disraeli. The soul of England's government is currently in its darkest battle. The parties are failing and letting anti free Western thinking take over. England is falling. Can anyone rise to the top to revert it?

It was adopted from Malcom X and the Black Panthers, they hated the traditional black culture in the US, claiming it was part of the slave culture.
Unfortunately it was adopted from traditional African culture that was brought along by the slaves, and it was kept alive because a lot of it was actually fun.
The Revolution Will Not Be Fun: it will be full of pinch faced scolds seeking new things to be outraged by.

A shot rang out. The maid screamed. Suddenly, a pirate ship appeared on the horizon! While millions of people were starving, the king lived in luxury. Meanwhile, on a small farm in Kansas, a boy was growing up.

It's comic how the same people endlessly screeching about fake RACISM against blacks are orgasmically promoting the most vile racial comments against a white girl who did nothing wrong other than be a better and more attractive player in "their" sport.

Your observation is correct Elric but I disagree with it being considered comic. Poisonous and evil are what I call it.

And that is break the paradigm of a class society where the aristocrats have opened the spigots to the worst sort of humanity in the world, spent UK into oblivion, and cozied up to Islamists for business and funding while sacrificing the working class children to foreign rape gangs.
Trump has had all sorts of problems trying to drag the Republican party out of its traditional corporatist, globalist, and pro immigration policy rut. Ideas like carbon credit schemes, amnesties, and corporate subsidies as well as spending a lot of taxpayer money to be 'compassionate' to ne'er do wells, are as much in the GOP DNA as they are in the UK Conservative party.
In past times, these same sort of assholes were propping up the Soviet Union with cheap loans to buy US grain among other things while offering bubba bait to their voters. And sold this nation out jointly with the Clintons to China via MFN.

So she can't shoot an ad, say, where she is shilling for subway, if they are a partner, and she goes into an inferior sub shop and points at them and shoots them down, then goes to a Subway and gets her order? How can you ban a viral hand gesture that was organically made by a player?
If the official business partners won't do it, hopefully another advertiser gives her a fat contract to do this as a private deal.

In the 90s when the league started, they would have been stars, because it wasn't about race then. I don't understand the anti-white undertone currently in the WNBA right now, but it's ugly and needs to stop. You need little white girls to love the game as much as little black, asian, hispanic girls.
Was there anti-Jordan sentiment in the 90s from other players and teams? I hated the Bulls because they denied my beloved Jazz two NBA championships during the storied Malone/Stockton era. But even so, I 100% admired Jordan as a player and knew I was watching one of the greatest.
That the current WNBA can't square this circle is troubling.

Miss Linda is fond of mentioning how intelligent crows are, how they recognize individual people and avoid those who have been mean to them, etc. And Ace had that video last night of the crow who visits with his human child friend every day.
Still, I tell her, "Get back to me when they invent the wheel, or air-conditioning for their nests."

A while back I wondered where the word "gallus" came from... a word used by old-timers/hillbillies/similar reprobates to describe what most Americans call "suspenders" and the Brits call "braces" (British "suspenders" are what we call "garters").
Turns out it's a dialect version of "gallows".

The Climax to the novel, CROW by Stephen King
...The children gathered their magical objects together: Billy, his Ovaltine, Cammie, her EZ-Bake Oven, Clarkston, his Sixth Finger, and finally, Booger with his box of Kleenex.
But, Cawwy the Cawing Crow merely cawed demonically and assumed his true form!!!
An even bigger crow!
The children bravely threw their precious childhood treasures at Cawwy. The treasures struck the large crow and Cawwy cawed a terrible caw and shrank until he was but an egg.
Booger stamped on the egg.
"Hey, guys. That looks like something that came outta my nose," he laughed and they all laughed together.
And then they had a big gang bang as all eleven year olds do when they survive evil.
THE END

Caspar David Friedrich
What is the meaning of the tree of crows?
AI Overview
A tree full of crows represents communal roosting, sharing food sources, or "mobbing" a nearby predator (like an owl or hawk). Spiritually, it symbolizes impending transformation, heightened intuition, or a message to prepare for a new chapter in your life. (JuneHunter dot com)
I like David Friedrich's body of art a great deal. Would hang the featured painting.
Thanks.

A left of center guy posted a meme that shows a political line with people at various ideologies and the caption is "what not to do if you want an equitable society"
The people on the far left are pointing to the center left guy calling him a racist NAZI and telling him to FO. Then the far right guy is grilling burgers for the center and center right guys.
So, pretty easy to understand the message right? Well it has a bunch of responses of leftwing people saying "but the people to the right of me ARE racist NAZIs"

Plymouth Roadrunner. When they first showed that car at a trade show one of the big wigs at plymouth had forbid the use of the roadrunner bird decal on the car. He said something like "nobody is sticking a bird decal on my car". Well one of the top dealers in the US at the time was from new mexico where it was the state bird. Another dude decided to put the decal on the car anyway, and the dealer saw it and freaked and it was an instant hit.

The Morning Report — 7/ 21 /26
A suspected anti-ICE terrorist has been taken into custody after allegedly carrying out an attack on a federal facility in Lower Manhattan, New York City. . . In a press conference following the attack, Assistant Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) James Barnacle claimed that Arrabaca was “looking to injure people and harm people“ and described the incident as an “anti-government attack,” citing materials found on Arrabaca, including a sign that read “ICE Off Our Streets.” “An FPS Protective Security Officer swiftly tackled and detained the agitator, sustaining minor injuries during the incident. Officers quickly recovered the suspect’s bag, which contained what appeared to be two pellet guns and a manifesto,” said the Department of Homeland Security in a public statement following the attack.Wait, Arrabaca. Is that a Muslim or a coffee bean? To his credit Secretary of State Marco Rubio is leading an effort to identify and combat the threat of "Left Wing Terrorism" which although is a redundancy is indeed and remains a threat to our national security coming as it historically has done from Central and South America. But as is illustrated by what happened in Lower Manhattan as merely the latest in a very long string of Leftist terrorist acts over not just the past few years but over the course of decades, our nation and society are in mortal danger and perhaps on the verge of being snuffed out for good unless the Left is utterly eradicated from every corner of our society especially from our schools which is where this cancer originated and from where it continues to metastasize.
The latest annual National Education Association convention, as usual, focused on the union's radical political and social agenda...The education of children in the three Rs was nowhere to be found at the convention. No one expressed concern that the latest National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) showed that reading scores are declining nationwide among fourth- and eighth-grade students. No state recorded gains in reading for either grade compared with 2022.That the DSA and let's face it full on communism has a receptive and growing audience not just among the fringes of society but a growing number of supposedly ordinary Americans who will reflexively vote for the candidate who has the "D" after his/her name regardless of what they espouse or worse, because they have been brainwashed into believing that America, the free market and the principles that built this nation into the greatest in human history are evil failures that are making them and the rest of humanity miserable. You and I will alternately laugh and vomit at this but the average German laughed at Adolf Hitler prior to 1934.
The Democratic Socialists of America, buoyed by a slew of recent victories, have unveiled a new platform they insist “isn’t extreme” despite calling for fully disbanding the U.S. Senate and the presidency, replacing the Supreme Court, and defunding the U.S. military. The DSA’s “program” was drafted by elected representatives between April and June of 2026, and is titled “Workers Deserve More.” The project, once completed, was voted on and approved by the DSA’s National Political Committee (NPC).Oh there are going to be mass graves, gentle reader.

‘Life-threatening’ tropical storm expected to batter Florida, Texas, Louisiana: forecasters
The track of the tropical storm is expected to first take it through a vast Flour Mill, an Egg Company and Milk Distribution Network before hitting these states directly.
The batter is expected to be somewhere in the consistency of a tempura batter and pancake batter.

I would like to know the pastor's authority to declare that God's Word is "full of errors".
What is a key admission here is that Hamilton is admitting he is unregenerate at best, and reprobate at worst.
1 Corinthians 2:14 teaches that the Scriptures are only understood through enlightenment of the Paraclete. That means to those who are not regenerated and made spiritually alive, the Bible is a closed book.
It is "full of errors" because the LORD has not seen fit, according to His own Pleasure, to include Hamilton among the Elect. In fact, continuing on in that chapter its scoffers like Hamilton who "consider the Gospel foolish".

I know she loved her brother and vice versa. She doesn't deserve this empty seat just because she was Graham's sister. She likely has the same viewpoints as he held on a variety of things I was not at all happy with. Since this is an R primary coming up on 8/11, I wonder if the Democrats can cross over and vote for her like I suspected many did for him. If so, I suppose she has a good chance, although I will not be voting for her. No. More. Grahams.

They're really not addressing the protestor angle at all. Obstruction of a federal agent attempting to do their job is against the law. Standing in front of a vehicle preventing it from progressing to a point of interest is obstruction. They should be IMMEDIATELY arrested and charged with obstruction, which I believe is a felony (others can comment on that far better). If/when found guilty, they can't vote, own a firearm and will struggle to earn a living, being a convicted felon.

Let's see here.
1.) A sham democracy nobody believes in, and which is increasingly incapable of governance
2.) A violent Leftist movement that few people support, but which controls the major cities, promising to abolish the existing government
3.) A massive, leaderless underclass who'd like to see #2 crushed once and for all, and are willing to make it happen
4.) An ossified Conservative movement who can't articulate any reason to even exist aside from preserving its own wealth and power, and who would sooner die horribly than ever consider making common cause with #3 against #2.
This is all sounding familiar, and favorable for the Bolsheviks.

Mandami's a muzzie commie. That would seem like a contradiction (Muzzies follow the demon Allah, Commies don't believe in any power above themselves), but the two systems have lots in common.
Laws and Constitutions are merely words on paper than have little real meaning.

The State Dept report that dropped yesterday claims that Cuba has been much more involved with the far left radicals that are taking over the Democrat Party than previously known. I think it's safe to assume that includes Venezuela and China with things like BLM and antifa which the Democrats for years to pummel us.
Democrats openly welcomed the Squad and other radicals because they thought they could control them. They chose poorly. Now they have lost control of their own party. I don't think Democrats do have control over the DSA wing. They might be able to take down one or candidates but all the energy in the party is with them and it is supported by millions of brainwashed college grads who are true believers.
Another big reason why taking down Venezuela, Cuba and even Iran is the radicals they have been supporting in the US to take the country down.

The big difference is in the different militaries, which can stop a revolution.
The Czarest military was ground down by massive losses in WWI.
Not so the US Military.
Even with months of fighting, we have lost only 11 due to enemy action. Plus at least 7 from flying accidents. Unprecedented low loss rate.

They could do a media campaign tomorrow labeling them kooks on every channel and in every magazine, branding them for life the way they do with anyone they don't approve of. Fill their lives with scandal and accusations.
They could put the whole movement down in its infancy, cooperate with Trump in dealing with their agitators, violent and otherwise.
They don't want to. The power brokers have calculated that this is the way to advance leftism, which is all they have been wanting for 50 years.

They could but I'm not convinced that would be as successful as you think. DSA supporters are committed communists. They don't see themselves as radicals, they think we are radicals. They are literally calling to abolish the Senate and then the whole structure of our government along with police and the military. That's their platform. I don't Chuck and Hakeem calling them radicals is going to do anything other than invigorate their supporters.

I've taken the stance that I will not fund those that hate me. Most in that movie, hate me. hollywood hates me.
They tell me they don't want my money, I'll be damned if I'm gonna give it to them.
Sure, I still watch some things on TV, but mostly things that have been out for so long, ratings don't really mean that much. There will be a time in the near future I don't have time for TV, and that will be that. It will not control me.
The NFL gave me my Sunday's back by hating me. TV will give me my evenings back as soon as I get my battle with slight depression and feeling overwhelmed won. I'll be back to working outside and on various projects I've been wanting to do for years.
hollywood needs me more than I need it, and they just keep shitting on me. F*ck 'em where they live.

So now they are going with the tried and true "boy it's terrible that other people have money, especially those filthy Jews" angle. And they will have enough support here and worldwide to make it look like something is happening.
You're seeing it everywhere, including with the "new" guy in England. Who wants to take money from the supposed haves in the South (London) and give it to the supposed have-nots in the North.
Instead of coming up with an Obama here (for now) the idea is to make it look like there is some overwhelming "movement" sweeping the nation and world. Trump will no longer be the man of the working class. Republicans will be back backing "the rich" . Like a magic trick. Democrats are taking the "people" moniker back, but in name only, as it ever was. Read this post in about 18 months and it will make a lot more sense.

Not sure it will happen before he dies.
The Justice Democrats were created by a couple of Bernie's campaign managers (Zack Xley, Saikat Chakrabarti), and Bernie appears to be a sort of mentor for the Squad and the others. He was the original radical who joined with the Democrats (while not being a Democrat) to subvert from within. He's not hanging on to these radicals, he's helped incubate them.

Well, with USAID defunded and Trump not helping socialists in Latin America it is the "safer" choice for him. Elections just give a veneer of respectability for despots so it doesn't cost him that much to avoid them.
But look at Colombia for example. The leftwing despot flat out assassinated his primary opponent in the last election under the Biden junta. This time around he wasn't able to and lost...

This morning I thought I had a monkey in the house. When I get up to turn on the coffee, I use an LED flashlight to navigate. As I stepped over to plug in the computer and turn on the TV, I thought for an instant there was a *gray monkey* sitting atop my couch! A blink resolved the simian into little cat Dagny, who'd been yawning and in the moving partial light did not look like herself.

The NYC DSA's pogrom against landlords, and particularly small landlords, pits them against black property owners in particular as they own a substantial number of smaller multiple unit dwellings. Add in their campaign against "generational wealth" (which seems odd given the number of DSA members with trust funds), and not hard to come to the Queens borough president's conclusion.

This is an odd thing you'll get from LIV leftists when you talk with them - under socialism no one will have to work. If you point out that means there will be no goods and services they'll argue that people will voluntarily work as long as they know it is for the good of everyone.

Within minutes Stirling came along and batted it with a paw halfway across the kitchen.

The point of government work is to get as much money as you can from the taxpayers. This would be another way to do so.
It is time to bust the teacher's unions. Start requiring work experience in whatever field you are teaching instead of a teaching degree. Since teaching is a part time job anyway, try to attract people slowing down in their careers that know the topic versus a 28 year old that only knows zer is gender fluid.

Show us how you manage, without any experience whatsoever on a smaller sample, something not so easily corrupted by outside influences, a high potential island maybe, like Cuba where you can demonstrate in an incubator how these principles work so well.

There have numerous studies done and books published about the growing relationship between communists and Islamic nuts over the years. The Red/Green Alliance aka watermellons
The one major thing they do have in common is a hatred for us and western society. There will be inevitable rifts but for now the focus on hating us is keeping them together.
There's a reason Hezbollah was all over Venezuela prior to Trump taking the place down.

Yes. Get a bag from the hardware / or big box store. The pool stores sell in 25# or 50# bags which is far too much.
Get a old-timey ketchup / mustard bottle from the dollar store and cut the tip, like on a tube of caulk.
Fill the bottle halfway with DE, the point and squeeze to spray the DE into crevices, cracks, opening, anywhere the insects travel. Also go around the outside of your home and spray into the brick weepholes, anywhere water, gas, and electrical lines penetrate the exterior. Also spray into the plumbing access panels.
The DE lasts for years in place. It works by gunking up their exoskeltons and, here's the best part, they all die!
After the initial treatment, you probably will see a spike in insects up and dying on you out in your public spaces. This means its working!

Last September, coming back from Evansville, I stopped at a Buc-ees in northern Alabama. They have over two hundred gas pumps. The ethanol-free stuff was way at the end, pump 217 or something. I parked, trekked to the store itself and paid, trekked back across the Transvaal to my car, fueled up, and made the long pilgrimage across the asphalt prairie to get my change and then back.
It was worth it; I got 34 mpg on that tank driving home. But man, that was a workout.

They're really not addressing the protestor angle at all. Obstruction of a federal agent attempting to do their job is against the law. Standing in front of a vehicle preventing it from progressing to a point of interest is obstruction. They should be IMMEDIATELY arrested and charged with obstruction, which I believe is a felony (others can comment on that far better). If/when found guilty, they can't vote, own a firearm and will struggle to earn a living, being a convicted felon.
Make them reap what they've sown.

26 Federal Plaza must be one of the most fortified structures in Manhattan; it houses many Federal and State of NY agencies. It boggles the mind someone, reportedly a U.S. military veteran, is so...no words...attacking that building.
Worked for a fed. agency located above the Varick Federal Detention Center, and had nothing to do with it. (Way back, the Center was NYC's primary processing and holding jail for undocumented immigrants and high-profile immigration detainees.)
One morning, a coworker & I turned the corner and walked into an organized demonstration in the street, before the main entranceway to our offices. With clearly visible Federal IDs, we pulled luggage carts of boxes & books for (civil) trial through the demonstrators. We simply chanted "excuse me" & they parted sufficiently to let us nudge through.
Such demonstrations often surrounded the 1993 WTC bombing defendants, or were closely linked to the 'Blind Sheikh.' And while security within the building was always strict & thorough, immediately outside the building, just past the demonstrators, it was such a public place.
Such naivety had we.

The NEA doesn't run or control NAEP. Like other public entities, it reviews NAEP (government-run test used as a statistical research tool) data to advocate for public school resources & teacher support.
Because the U.S. Constitution leaves education to individual states, the NEA - the nation's largest labor union - could only become so obnoxious & powerful through specific State Laws passed over the last several decades, and, depending on the state, become highly integrated into District Operations.
AI Overview: The national headquarters alone reports over $600 million in annual revenue, which does not even include the hundreds of millions more retained locally by state affiliates.
The two major national teachers unions are the NEA and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT). While they occasionally cooperate on national campaigns, they historically operated separately—with the NEA historically

I'm up early for no discernible reason. Can't blame Stirling for leaping on me today. Though I did give myself a turn. When I get up to turn on the coffee, I use a flashlight to see. Going over by the couch to plug in the MacBook and turn on the TV, I thought I glimpsed a *gray monkey* sitting atop the couch! A blink resolved the simian into Dagny, who had been yawning and thus in the moving partial light did not look like herself.
Any day that begins in such a way has got to get better. Or so I tell myself.

There is a nice place I video-toured last week. I liked it a lot. Two members of the Horde here have offered very different takes on the property, and I find myself leaning to the positive side. But at the same time I feel reluctant to move -- my usual summertime heat-born lassitude that might almost be called a mild depression (a sort of reverse seasonal affective disorder, one of the many many reasons I want *out* of here).
The place is still listed as "For Sale," not "Pending" yet. I need to kick myself and write to my agent.

Outside of Shannon's academic pursuits, he was interested in juggling, unicycling, and chess.
He also invented many devices, including a Roman numeral computer called THROBAC, and juggling machines.
He built a device that could solve the Rubik's Cube puzzle.
Shannon also invented flame-throwing trumpets, rocket-powered frisbees, and plastic foam shoes for navigating a lake, by wearing which it would appear to an observer as if Shannon were walking on water.

"Structured" was the concept, new in 1966 or so, of writing programs in "modules," so that each one did a certain task within the total program. You'd have a master module, which would then call Module A for one thing and return its result to the master; then call Module B for another mini-job, etc. This would make it easier to debug and modify programs.

Sorry to hear that JQ. Do you get a chance for an afternoon nap?
Yes, the idea of moving, even if I let a local company do it (and I will -- I've gotten a good quote from a couple of companies here), involves a hell of a lot of packing and discarding. Then driving up there to my new home, staying in a hotel for a few days or camping out at my new house until the movers arrive, etc. It seems like an enormous cliff I have to climb . . . even though I know it can be broken down into parts. Like writing a novel: You don't have to do it all the night before it's due, like a term paper in school. You write a page or two every day, and in a year or less, you have a manuscript. Moving is like that.

Then maybe I can take off from working out this morning and squeeze a session in early tomorrow. I think most of the rain is supposed to be offshore to the south, not here.

Yup, wind shear is tearing the system apart in the mid-level, so the lower parts of the storm are heading south into the gulf, while the upper level low is is heading northwest into the coast.
Tropical storms hate wind shear.
Which is why El Ninos are good for the southeast - it causes more wind shear in the Gulf and Atlantic, so less hurricanes.
At least that's the theory.

We don't get enough rain on a daily basis. Years ago, when I worked outdoors, you could almost count on a thundershower every afternoon around 3 pm from May to October. Since the Katrina days, we get hotter afternoons and less rain -- until we have a storm or other downpour. And the big pumps in the city? They often break down when they get wet.

Been wearing progressives for years now and yes they are expensive. But I could never go back to regular bifocals now. My latest pair are transition progressives that darken in the sunlight and clear up inside. Love them. My supplemental insurance covers the eye exam and part of the cost of the frames which makes the price a little more bearable.

1. The repair of the water heater was less expensive that we anticipated and I ended up being able to pay for it as opposed to using my credit card.
2. When we went to pick up my wife's car, I negotiated the price for the repairs (Oil change, alignment and four new tires) down to under 1000.

*Negotiating* for car repairs? What a concept!
The Buick's rear brakes were done last week. Nothing else is needed until the August or September oil change, and I have the oil already, purchased when there was a scare story during the early days of the Iran "conflict" that there would soon be a shortage of 5W-30 oil in the stores and a huge price increase. The first didn't happen, and I don't think the second has either.
The car will hit 100K miles this summer, about 65K of that on my watch. August 8 will make seven years: the longest I have ever kept a car. And I still smile when I walk up to it.

In Burroughs's Jungle Tales of Tarzan, he tells us of the time Tarzan ate meat from Tantor, the elephant, who had long been his friend. Some of the "blacks," the Gomangani, had cooked up an elephant, and a hungry Tarzan stole some stew meat from their pot (he'd had a bad week at hunting). Unfortunately the elephant had been sick when it died. Tarzan had hallucinations and tried to shoot arrows at the moon in his delirium. When he recovered, he swore he would never again touch meat from Tantor.

Monday Overnight Open Thread (7/20/26)
Not the way I want to leave with The Fabulous. Something about hijacking a city bus*.
An elderly couple who went missing in Canada are thought to have been mauled to death in a bear attack after police found two bodies. Jay and Deb MacDonald, both retired and in their 70s, had gone on a fishing trip and were staying at a cabin near McTavish Lake, Saskatchewan, when they stopped answering their phones.

Landlords, landlord hoarding & charging high rent is the reason why the housing supply is low, costs are inflated & it’s difficult for renters to save money for a DP.

Not a pretty site. And when the cops came to write occupants up for indecent exposure it wasn't a pretty cite. But the charges were dropped for insufficient evidence. Also you could see a German ghost there for a time, a zeitgeist if you will. A friend would refer to it as an example. He would often cite the zeitgeist site sight.

Then, later on, Martina hired him as Renee Richards to be one of her coaches. She was vocal in supporting the male, Renee Richards in women's tournaments.
And now. She's totally against it....because someone sees a threat to all her records.

The two children of their friends are supposedly being raised by an elderly Puerto Rican nanny and scream a lot. The two year old screamed not to sit in a high chair the last dinner and ran around to other's tables with the proud parents thinking it was cute. The 4yr old wet her pants a few times and almost pooped in a pool and starts PreK4 this September and 2yr old in daycare (this is after retiring the elderly nanny who apparently did nothing). I pity their teachers.
Son said he came close to taking a nerve pill as they got off the ship because of the screaming.
The guy is a good guy and sadly married a princess who whines a lot.
If I remember correctly I told son this might not be a good idea last spring, but that was all (they've vacationed with them in the past with other issues).

They then busy themselves with setting up two more experiments, a seismic detector, and a laser reflector. And then they began boxing up samples from the lunar surface to take back with them.

**********
Agree. We learned the hard way when my husband's bro and snotty SIL came to FL before we'd been there a year. Our youngest son turned 1yr, bro 3yr, cousin boys 2yr and 4yrs.
My eldest son bit his eldest cousin's arm for not sharing his pedal tractor. This in turn started the downward spiral as my SIL went loco about it (like my son was a biter when this was his first, and apparently he was ticked off). They came for 10 long days.
We did DisneyWorld, beaches, and BIL and I drank beer during naptime,which ticked off SIL as we were having too much fun (she was invited as well but had headaches).
Then her son got strep throat and she whined about that as they all got sick day after day. The last night my husband was making scallops and I did not know they were in a collander in the sink when my baby, who was going to harf due to the cousin cold birthday gift, did it on the scallops.
Three of us adults laughed and got pizza. SIL insisted on leaving a day early. The End.

Unfortunately, the exhaust wash from the ascent engine blew over the flag they set there at Tranquility Base. Aldrin reported seeing it fall over.
They did not make that mistake again, and set the flag farther away on subsequent missions. Also, Neil and Buzz had a little trouble and couldn't get the pole deep enough -- there was some hard pan of sorts right at the spot.
Detailed analysis of the photos of the landing sites from the LRO has confirmed the Apollo 12, 16, and 17 flags are still standing, but Apollo 14 and 15 can't be determined.
The flags weren't not made of any special material to withstand the solar wind and radiation environment, so they are most likely bleached out white by now.

She was raped. Period, the end. I guess I should've said, "it wasn't a very good rape CASE."
It wasn't very good because the victim sent a written letter saying she didn't want to prosecute after all. The defense counsel wrote the letter FOR her, & she signed it in his law office.
He wanted a jury trial. The jury thought it was rape, apparently.

This is not a loose ideological affinity between separate organizations. It is the same leadership operating under different institutional names.
That leadership has directed considerable energy toward one particular front, the American buildout of AI infrastructure. Across 21 documented campaigns in 14 states, the party has served as either the lead organizer or a significant participant in efforts that produced 10 local moratoriums, one permanent ban, and billions of dollars in delayed or canceled data-center investment.

A bunch of steppe tribes that we call the Yamnaya overran Europe somewhere around 4,500–5,000 years ago. Yamnaya comes from a Russian word for "pit", and refers to their characteristic pit burials -- we don't know what they called themselves.
This resulted in massive replacement of the indigenous European male DNA with Yamanaya male DNA, while the European female DNA continued on.
I'd say "guess what happened there", but we know what happened there, don't we? The men got whacked and the women became sex slaves/concubines/what have you.
One of those things that's not pleasant to think about.
I suspect that there's an awful lot of Russian DNA in today's Germans, dating from 1945 or thereabouts, and an awful lot of Japanese DNA in today's Chinese, Koreans, Filipinos, Indonesians...
Our modern concept of body autonomy didn't really arrive until the advent of Christianity, e.g. the idea that raping a woman was an offense against her personally.
Before that there were punishments for rape, but most of the jurisprudence seems to be based on compensation for damaging another man's property.

I can't speak to that. I only know what I read in the owners manual. There's a little leeway if the tires are fairly new, but not much. I would think there would be a robust market for used Subaru tires of various tread depths.

My argument against rape being a capital crime would lean more toward the false accuser problem and less to what some evil motherfucker might choose to do when weighing up various risks, which as you alluded to, they are probably not doing very well to begin with.
Disposing of a body, for example, invites more problems and probably more witnesses. It's not cut and dry for even the most logical rational person.

A rabbinical scholar gets word that there may be some original copies of ancient documents in some of the Chinese synagogues, so he travels there to look into it.
He walks in and asks for the rabbi he's been corresponding with. A Chinese-looking fellow says "That's me... how can I help you?" The Ashkenazi scholar says "I'm the one who's been writing to you about those old documents." The Chinese-looking guy stares at him and says "That's funny. You don't look Jewish."

Oh, I know where they all are. Been shuffling stuff around. Moved a Studebaker pickup from its place near the end of the barn, and dragged up a tall warehouse ladder to the end of the barn. Got to steady that thing up, so I can climb it and replace the hayloft door that blew down in a windstorm. Might just back up a Suburban to each side of the ladder so it cannot topple sideways.

After the rape, he stepped outside in his underwear & screamed threats at someone who was just passing by. "What are you looking at, mfer? Get the hell out of here!" kind of thing.
That evidence made the rape charge stronger to the jury, I think, i.e., that he was out of control. They didn't just have to take the flaky victim's word all by itself. There was this other incident too.

Heh. I have used a Suburban or other vehicle on several occasions to provide a block to the base of a ladder, so it doesn't kick out at the bottom while I am on it. I am leery of ladders. This "stocking ladder" I have is really a metal staircase on wheels. I think it might have been an airplane boarding ladder in a previous life, but it is quite similar to those rolling staircases you see in big box stores like Home Depot. It has proven useful. Feels much more secure than an extension ladder. Problem with the barn site is the ground is dirt, and not level.

Since they had a project in common, here's a track that Gossard wrote the music for and played rhythm guitar on, while Cornell wrote the lyrics and sang lead. They are joined by Gossard's future Pearl Jam bandmates Jeff Ament on bass guitar, Mike McCready on lead guitar, Matt Cameron on drums, and Eddie Vedder doing such discreet background vocals that I can't tell it's him.
Temple Of The Dog - Four Walled World (Audio)
https://youtu.be/pUbl2pt11og
For context, TOTD was formed in reaction to the untimely heroin overdose death of singer Andrew Wood, who was Cornell's roommate and the frontman of Mother Love Bone with Gossard and Ament. They only made the one self-titled album (1991) as apparent catharsis, so I think the 'jailer' in "Four Walled World" is probably drugs.

Most folks, until they find Him, don't believe that humility is positive trait. As it turns out, humility comes before anything else good that might happen.
Since we are only alive because God has us in mind at all times, it makes sense to be not only grateful for that but also humiliated by it. I am only Something because He is Everything.
Descartes had it wrong. I am not something because I think. I am something because He loves me enough to make me something. Everything after that is gravy, if I have the sense to be humble about all of it.

"Central to Denning’s argument is the idea of tacit knowledge. This refers to the enormous amount of human understanding that people possess but cannot fully express in words or translate into symbols that a machine can process...
Intuition, gut feelings, spontaneous creativity, and imagination are other forms of tacit knowledge that resist being reduced to computer instructions...
How we host tacit knowledge is largely a mystery, Denning admits. “All we know is that it is embodied. We have no idea what we might observe and measure in our bodies to reveal it.”

College - contrary to many that applaud formal education - can't teach a single person how to think. Now ... college can give a born thinker a forum to exercise that natural skill. College can also usher along those that can't think toward a certificate.

They can teach formal debate, rhetoric, and the classic logical fallacies that we literally hear fuckheads spewing daily. It is most definitely critical thinking. I’m going to take the opposite view.
Logic fallacies might be the most important thing we can teach our kids. Nobody can be an expert on every subject or even most subjects.
It has to do with the basics of knowledge. How do I determine something is true? Especially when some motherfucker is a professional liar, and has the full media and hollywood treatment behind him.

This is my point. Arm your family with the ability to think critically - rhetoric and debate, and being able to spot logical fallacies - is something you will use everyday. I guarantee.
Rhetoric is simply the art of persuasion. And there’s always some asshole trying to persuade you of something everyday. You can’t supervise your family or be there forever, at some point you hope they have the skills.

Folks - anybody with a pool knows the skimmer doesn't even fucking work. Why are we trying to make robots walk ? Seriously.

Eff Kevin O'Leary. Actual small town farmers and locals I know in Box Elder County have legit questions: how building a data center the size of three manhattans in a rural desert, using more energy than the whole state uses in a year, might affect the great salt lake, their power and water bills, etc. And why their county commissioners agreed for taxpayers to subsidize this mofo. "Mr Wonderful" dismisses these wonderful, hard working people as a Chi-com psyop. More like Mr Blowhard.
Also, there is too much hand waving with the closed loop water systems, like it's a magic wand. Closed loop systems build up microbes and sediments, need toxic chemicals to clean, and occasionally be drained...like draining your water heater to remove the sediment buildup. So there is toxic waste water, in a desert. And where is that toxic residue going to go? They are buying up massive water shares in neighboring towns to supply the center's water, and I can tell you those shares will NOT be enough, and will suck those towns dry.
I'M PRO AI + PRO PEOPLE. We need a balance.

My company had a contract with "rent" some automatic mowers from a third party tech company that builds them, because it is still frightfully expensive to outright buy them when the market is so new. Did a test trial. Still kept on their old staff during the trial period. They let the contract lapse when it was over, and went back to real people on their already bought riding mowers. Just too expensive for a rental. The market and the price points aren't there yet, for everyone.

Read about Jason Padgett sometime. He came out of a bar when a kid and was punched repeatedly in the head causing a massive concussion. However, the brain rerouted its regular protocol and transfered pathways to different parts of the brain as a way of self correction. From that point on, he became a math savant. He saw everything (and I mean everything) as math. Every inanimate object became a purposeful understandable design. Prior to those punches, he scored in the very lowest part of his class. Afterwards, he understood math better than most experts in the field.

Here is my non-expert take, summed up for your Moronic judgment:
The rumor was if you went to Taco Bell, your lettuce was poisoned with this explosive poop parasite, since Taylor Farms was the supplier for Taco Bell produce.
Tests are concluding oopsie, it might not be Taylor Farms after all! We messed up accusing them, our bad! Meanwhile Taylor Farms and Taco Bell's reps are taking a beating. Like as bad as Chipolte and Jack in the Box did back in the day when they had their contaminant scandals.
They both might have to sue, just to get their reps back, and not lose millions in revenue.
(Though, to be fair to Taco Bell, it's rep is already tied to "do a late night taco run and you'll get the runs" ... already baked into the brand, hah. So will this REALLY bankrupt them?)

Critical thinking doesn't necessarily result in the same conclusions or even similar conclusions. In addtion, there are different degrees of critical thinking that are marred by bias, presentation, and provided data. Additionally, using the process of critical thinking doesn't make you the sharpest pencil in the box. Individuals have different limitations in intelligence, creativity, innovation and understanding.
In short, it is a process. It is not an inborn trait. And, it isn't always good.

That's a totally false distillation but probably more useful than thinking reason is attainable for anything but the smallest cross section of humanity. Civilization gives people time and space to "reason", so it's likely you get a little more of it when you don't have people overwhelmed by crime and general survival issues.
But unfortunately, many of us go by "feels" most of the time and only reason sometimes in between. Some unlucky souls tend to reason a lot more. And the unluckiest are the ones that believe all they do is reason, but in reality are just victims of their own feels.
That's why politicians are effective. The successful ones don't target reason. They target feels. The ones that appear to target reason are most likely hornswaggling you, or just playing a game.

Yes, but they are facing these charges in Romania, too, they have first dibs, Then the UK. Their business is adult webcam services, which doesn’t really lend itself to fine, upstanding gentlemen. It doesn’t make them rapists, but it isn’t a huge leap to think they may be involved in human trafficking. Plus, the lovely things they have said in podcasts, here are a few gems:
"Bang out the machete, boom in her face and grip her by the neck. Shut up bitch."
"Women are a man's property... they belong to the man."
"Women are intrinsically lazy" and "there’s no such thing as an independent female."
On rape victims: They "must bear some responsibility" for their attacks

That is the most honest paragraph about the topic I've ever seen. In decades.
The truth is - I can afford to Critical Think. Because I'm not living check to check. And as such ... I have room, and the luxury, to consider Cause and Effect even when it works against my own short term best interest.
Now here's the thing. I grew up poor. I knew what I was doing was wrong. Also knew what my parents were doing was wrong.
I worked to get to a point where I didn't have to.
And I don't think I'm special. Everyone can do that. But most around me did not think that way.
And now ? Most around me with much more money still don't.

Because I could see how my parents were not honestly trading with others. But rather, trying to "scam" ... for lack of a better word. I could also pick up on the cues - and I was not social by any means - that people did not want to interact with them commercially. I could see it. I could see it as a child.

And that candy would become what we now know as M&M's.
Not a lot of meaningful copyright laws back then.

What one feeling underpins your everyday existence?
And if you could, would you prefer to change that, or live with it?
(these are rhetorical questions, but if you look at them, or meditate on them or whatever, you will find a pearl. I offer this to you personally and unconditionally - meaning, in the nicest way, don't bother answering me. Your answer and where that leads isn't important to anybody but you.)

Edelweiss was the very last Rodgers and Hammerstein song. OH II died shortly after it's completion.

I recently had an eye exam, only one eye dilated. As my daughter was driving me home, my eyes weren't really in sync. The road's yellow line was only yellow to my left eye. To my right eye it was shocking pink.
When I told my daughter, a painter, she explained that the dilation meant the color's arc was longer, going into my dilated eye.
Magic was at leas as appealing an explanation to me.

Nothing is given. This can all collapse tomorrow.

Bullshit. This is what wears me out about you people.
The Left think they are Right. Correct. Moral. Innately. They wonder why you choose so fucking wrong.

I think Sovey explained comments like this best:
Covert Narcissism:
These trolls disguise envy as moral correction.
They accuse you of arrogance, overconfidence, or privilege, not because you are, but because they aren’t.
They don’t want justice. They want to drag you down until they feel taller.
What made them this way:
They were praised for how they performed, never for who they were.
They grew up addicted to validation but incapable of self worth.
Without applause, they spiral into narcissistic collapse.
You didn’t take their spotlight.
You just refused to beg for it like they do, and they hate you for it.

This is one the most basic philosophical questions.
Of course the Golden Rule, is one possible answer.

There are a multitude of stories of feral children being discovered without any concept at all of right or wrong. They understood survival confined to hunger, fear and self-defense. Abstract thinking does not develop without language. Fairness and justice have no way of developing without language.
There are no "social mirrors" which are a product of culture. Morality is learned by observing others. The laws, rules, manners of a culture teach "good" from "bad". One girl raised by wolves understood only deferrence to the Alpha, no ownership of property, and failure to "mirror" the hierarchy would result in punishment and pain. So, even amidst wolves, "good" and "bad" behavior was contingent upon observation and punishment for non-conformity.
That being said (getting another container of gasoline)...who defines what is "good" and "bad"? Because different cultures sure do have different ideas on that topic. So it must be taught or they would all be universal in every cuture. Now grab some stones and help me teach this woman who had the audacity to get raped a lesson...I'll start half buring her in the sand.

And who can debate an Intellectual Tour De Force like that ?
All this is ... when you strip it down ... is an Echo Chamber. One from a few decades ago. One that insists that the 80s were the 50s, when you get right down to it.
