The Spooktacular History of Halloween Traditions and Lore
Halloween in the 1930s
Why is Halloween the "spooky season" in the first place? How did this nonsense begin? Well as you've no doubt heard, supposedly this time of year is a "liminal," meaning "on the threshold." ("Subliminal" means "beneath the threshold (of conscious perception.) Supposedly, during liminal times, the "walls separating the mortal realms from the "other worlds" (both the spirit realms and the lands of the fairies) are lower. I guess because this time is at the end of autumn -- in Germanic languages, "the fall" or "autumn" is just literally called 'harvest." Herbst in German, for example. So this time is between two seasons and therefore between two worlds. That's an idea with a lot of salience in folktales -- crossroads, for example, are also believed to be space between two worlds, which is why you might see ghosts or even the devil in a crossroads.
Crossroads are viewed in global folklore and legends as liminal "thin places" where the barrier between the living world and the spirit realm weakens. Folklore and Supernatural Beliefs * Spirits and Lost Souls: Crossroads are often said to confuse wandering or restless spirits. Historical burials of criminals or people who died by suicide at intersections led to beliefs that their spirits would face four paths and get lost. * Spectral Animals: The British Isles feature legends of spectral black dogs--such as the Black Shuck or Barghest--which are seen at crossroads as harbingers of death.Halloween is a contraction of All Hallow's Eve. The following day, November first, is All Saint's Day, so the night before is the eve of all the hallowed, the sainted. To hallow means "to set apart as holy." Are the words connected? Yes they are:
Of course, this is probably a case of early Church syncretism, or the merging of pagan traditions with Christian ones:
The words hallow and holy share a direct and deep etymological connection, both coming from the same ancient root meaning "whole" or "healthy". Etymological Lineage * Hallow: From the Old English verb hälgian ("to make holy, consecrate") and the noun hälga ("holy person or saint"). This evolved into Middle English halwe and modern hallow. * Holy: From the Old English adjective hälig ("holy, sacred, or consecrated"), which developed directly from häl ("whole"). * Proto-Germanic Root: Both trace back to Proto-Germanic hailagaz / *hailagōn (holy, sacred, or set apart). * Proto-Indo-European Root: Going further back, they stem from the PIE root *kailo- meaning "whole, uninjured, or of good omen".
Syncretism is the combining or merging of different and sometimes contradictory beliefs, cultures, or philosophies into a new, unified system Because November 1st happens to be an ancient festival:The origin of the Jack O'Lantern is interesting and very pagan. I'm told that it was a Druidic custom to light communal bonfires. I assume these bonfires had some religious/cultic purpose. Then, when the fire had died down, the embers or coals from the fire would be transported to the individual hearths of the worshippers, so that the later fires would be descended from the communal ones. These coals were carried from the communal bonfire to the home hearth in... hollowed out turnips or gourds. Faces began to be carved into these fire-transporting turnips to ward away evil spirits. I don't know when pumpkins were used for this purpose, if ever, but the pumpkin with fire inside is clearly a direct descendant of the coal-toting turnip. The actual name "Jack O'Lantern" emerged from later, Christian-age Irish folktales about someone who tried to trick the devil.Samhain is an ancient Gaelic festival celebrated on November 1 that marks the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter. Meaning and Timing * Pronunciation: Commonly pronounced "sow-in" (rhyming with cow-in or sau-in). * Dates: Celebrations traditionally begin at sunset on October 31 and continue through November 1, as the Celtic day starts and ends at sunset. * New Year: It marked the Celtic New Year and the transition into the "darker half" of the year.
A grumpy bastard of a blacksmith by the name of Stingy Jack invites the devil for a drink but refuses to pay (hence, the "stingy" descriptor). He convinces the devil to shape-shift into a coin to cover the tab. But when the devil obliges, Jack sticks the coin in his pocket. And much to the devil-coin's dismay, there is a silver cross in that pocket, preventing him from returning to his original form. A deal is struck. Jack sets the devil free and, in return, the devil agrees A) to bar Jack from entering hell when he dies, and B) to leave Jack alone for a year. A quick aside: This seems like a bad deal. And it is a bad deal -- because guess what? A year later, the devil comes back to mess with Jack. Only Jack is ready for him. He convinces the devil to climb a tree so he might enjoy a delicious piece of fruit.Note that this tale involves fruit. As you'll see, most Halloween traditions are fruit-based.
Once the devil is up in the tree, Jack carves a cross into the trunk. The devil can't come down. Another (bad) deal is struck, although this one does have the advantage of being slightly less bad than the previous one. Jack frees the devil in exchange for ten years of peace. Jack dies. (Don't be sad. He was an asshole.) The devil, true to his word, refuses to let Jack into hell. God, meanwhile, refuses to let Jack into heaven. So, what is Jack's fate? To wander forever in eternal darkness, of course. But because the devil is not totally heartless (wait...), he tosses Jack a lump of burning coal from hell so he can have a bit of light. Jack carves out a turnip and sticks the coal inside, creating a lantern. Hence, "Jack of the Lantern," which is later shortened to "Jack O'Lantern."Kids have been dressing up in costumes for a long, long time. I don't know when this began, but an early example of it is kids going out "guising" -- wearing disguises. In the Shetland Islands, kids dressed as "skeklers," wearing dresses made of wheat stalks.
Etymology and Origins * Skekel / Skekle: The root noun in the Shetland dialect means a masked or disguised person, a guiser, or specifically someone wearing a straw dress at Halloween. * Norn Roots: The term originates from the historical Norn language (a North Germanic language spoken in Shetland and Orkney until the 18th/19th century before being replaced by Scots). * Skakling: Recorded in local almanacs to describe the start of the winter half-year around All Saints' Day (November 1st).Kids dressed up in dresses made of straw is kinda creepy!
* Costume: Made from local oat-straw woven into a skirt (gloy), a short cloak, and a tall, pointed straw mask or hat. * Tradition: Skeklers traveled from house to house (hoosamylla) in small groups between mid-October and late January, dancing and playing music in exchange for food or drink. * Leadership: The group was traditionally directed or led by a figure known as the scuddler.Apparently people used to put apples on the thresholds of their doors as an offering to evil spirits, who would be placated by the sweets and not trouble the family inside. But kids became coming by afterwards and asking for the apples which had not actually been carried off by spirits, which I would imagine was most of them. And from that: begging for candy in costume. Bobbing for apples is closely associated with Halloween. Remember, this coincides with the final harvest of the year, so apples are significant. As I mentioned, fruit was central to many Halloween traditions:
In America today, Halloween is most often associated with pumpkins and candy. For centuries in the British Isles, though, this eerie night was linked with apples, nuts, and cabbage, all of which were given secret powers... Among all the food traditions of Halloween, apples appear most often. There are loose theories for why apples are so special on this day. They've long been thought to have an uncanny magic: in Welsh folklore, for instance, they carry a whiff of immortality. In the Book of Hallowe'en, an early 20th century study of October 31 traditions, Ruth Edna Kelley writes that apples came to Halloween through the colonizing Romans, who linked their fall apple festival with the Celtic Samhain.
But the game didn't start as bobbing for apples in water. Instead, the apples were bobbed for in between fire. A stick was hanged from the ceiling by its middle so that it was suspended horizontally, and free to spin on the string holding it. On one side was stuck an apple. On the otherside, a lighted candle. Then the stick would be set to spinning and you would, without your hands, bob and bite at the apple as it spun around, trying to avoid being licked in the face by the flame or hit in the eye with hot candle-wax. This "game" was called "snap-apple," and, if I might channel the noted ethnologist Donald Trump, it's a shit-hole tradition. Oh, and winning the game -- eating the apple without taking a mouthful of flame -- would mean that you would be the first to marry or marry whatever person you liked. Another version of the game involved suspending apples on strings from the ceiling, no sticks or candles involved. This is safer, though far less Mëtäl. Another variation:
Sometimes the apples would be labeled or marked by young men and women before they were put in a tub of water: the person who caught your apple could be your mate. In another version of snap apple, a hoop is suspended from the ceiling, and different treats and tricks, including cake, candies, bread, apples, and peppers, are stationed along its rim. The one a player caught with their teeth would foretell the nature of their love--would it be sweet, spicy, too hot? Would it nourish or burn them?A lot of fruit, a lot of eating, and a lot of promise of sex. Even cabbages had sexual bend:
If none of these fortune telling methods went your way, you could still resort to cabbage. One tradition involved pulling kale stalks from a field: the nature of the stalk, its weight, length, girth, and taste, would hint at one's future spouse.I'm not going to unpack that. A lot of divinations were of the "ill fortune" type:
Some people would bake a ring and nut into the cake--the finder of the nut would be a widow or widower. In another version, the cake had a coin, a sloe berry and a bit of wood baked in. The coin meant wealth, the sloe meant you'd outlive all your friends and the wood meant you'd die within the year.Yay! This being a "liminal time" when the "walls between the worlds were lower" led to Halloween being a time for minor magics like divination of the future. And this divination usually involved predicting your future spouse. In one divination game, you would peel an apple all in one big peel, then throw the apple peel over your shoulder. When the peel landed on the floor, it would form a letter, which would be the first letter of the name of the person you would marry. This magical divination predicts a lot of spouses with names beginning with I, J, G, S, Z, and C, and maybe a D here and there, but anyone whose name began with K, X, Y, R, B or any letter formed by multiple strokes was shit out of luck and would die a lonely spinster. Another of these "see your future spouse" games involved going into a darkened, lonely room with only a candle for light and looking at a mirror. Supposedly, over your shoulder and behind you, would appear the dark, fuzzy form of the person you would wind up marrying. Obviously this just relies on darkness and unsteady light and seeing what you want to see. I read about this "candle in a mirror and your future spouse appears behind you" game in Agatha Christie's Hallowe'en Party, which also featured "snap-apple," but I'm pretty sure it was the safe version without the candle. Oh, and the victim is killed by being drowned in the tub for bobbing apples. Oh, and also, despite the book being set in the 1960s, they casually mention that the village has a "village witch" like this is a normal thing that most villages have and needs no further explanation. What? English villages all had a village witch, the same as they had a butcher or postman?
There were other variations.
In many variations, the seeker was forced to walk backward, which aided the tension. From a 1916 story in the Alaska Daily Empire out of Juneau, "Little girls duck for apples till they are wet from head to foot, walk down the cellar stairs backward, hold a candle before a mirror to see their future husbands." The opportunities for shenanigans are obvious. Friends stealthily followed behind mirror-toting players, or hid in the darkened destinations. At the right moment, they leaped from the shadows, screams stabbing the night before terror collapsed into giggles. Or, there was the potential for romantic assignations. A hopeful young man, yearning to make his feelings known, could plan to reveal himself in a mirror. As another postcard suggested, "of course this affair must be prearranged to be successful for the Witches are busy and can't tend to everybody."
This one, via Google AI (but I've read it elsewhere), is even more dangerous than snap-apple:
Walking Backwards Down Stairs: Some variations required a person to hold a hand-mirror and walk backwards down a dark flight of stairs at midnight to catch a reflection of their future mate.That is a shithole tradition way to wind up in traction. We've all noticed that Halloween has become, for older teenagers and young adults, a holiday all about sex. Girls dress like literal streetwalkers. It's a hookup holiday. But I didn't realize until writing this post... it's literally always been a holiday closely associated with sex. Even stuff like the ripe, full apples suggest sexual maturation and pregnancy. Sure, magical games to see your future spouse are the socially acceptable way to suggest sex, but it's still mostly about sex. This holiday has always had mating on its mind, from the early pagan days. So: magic, pagan traditions, "lowering the veils" between the worlds, evil spirits and the devil. And on top of it all: the suggestion of sex. No wonder religious people have such a problem with it.
Many of the ideas in this post came from this video about the folklore that may have inspired It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.

(topic: young pro athletes and their money being soon parted)
"Only one data point from direct experience. Familiar with an AHL hockey player who described a complete supportive bubble within which he and the other guys lived.
Their only purpose was to practice and play hockey. Everything else - from finding a place to live, transportation if needed, even laundry service - was paid for/arranged by the team. Financial advisors (with a very aggressive conservative spiel on money management), tax preparers were provided, which addresses the main topic here.
Of course these minor league guys aren't generally pulling in the long green, but a portion of them do rotate up to the bigs and get a $$ bump and some stay there for a while or forever, at which point of course they're handed off to that team's support network. Lots of sociological and other differences with basketball and football player backgrounds, in general, but seems that pro hockey at least is taking a pro-active approach to help the young guys avoid trouble."

Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller has announced that the Texas Department of Agriculture will no longer award eligible department-administered grants to businesses that employ H-1B visa holders, directing taxpayer dollars toward Texas workers instead of companies that rely on temporary foreign labor.
Miller said Texas taxpayers work hard for their money and deserve to know their tax dollars create opportunities for Texans rather than subsidize businesses that choose foreign labor while Texans are ready and willing to work.

This is a commonsense safeguard to protect the Constitution from foreign influence and ensure those who interpret our laws have undivided loyalty to the United States.

Candidate of Germany's Far-Left Party "Die Linke" Confesses that Islamists Control Her Party and That She Fears They Will Kill Her
Der Spiegel is a leftwing outlet in Germany.
Here's an example of how hard they'll lie on behalf of the Red-Green Alliance.DER SPIEGELUh huh. So it takes an awful lot for them to report that the the far left's candidate for the mayor of Berlin admits that her party is controlled by Muslim extremists and that she feels her family is "in danger" due to them. She's a candidate for "Die Linke," which just means "the Left."
@derspiegel Oct 18 Translated from German
Right-wing ideologues claim a connection between the riot over the weekend and the ancestry of many of the troublemakers. That is a racist lie that conceals French failure. Link in X-Bio.
The left's response to this is their usual response: They demand censorship of her admission of Islamist control over her party and fearing for the safety of her family,

@KarinaLMariani Translated from Spanish
🇩🇪🚨MEGA-SCANDAL: The winner of the BERLIN elections, from the far-left party Die Linke, accidentally confesses that Hamas controls her party and fears for her life💣 A mistake has just triggered an astonishing security crisis. The magazine Der Spiegel--a media outlet, it must be noted, with a marked leftist slant--has brought to light an internal document proving how Die Linke has been hijacked by Islamism. Its candidate to govern Berlin, Elif Eralp, accidentally sent the newsroom her private notes from an interview where she confesses to being coerced and terrified by Hamas operatives within her own party. It turns out that after an interview, the candidate's team reviewed the transcript. During this process, Eralp made internal comments that were meant to remain in the strictest confidentiality. However, the document with the un-erased annotations was sent back to the journalists. The content of those notes is dynamite. When Der Spiegel asked her about Ibrahim Ibrahim--a pro-Palestinian Hamas sympathizer who celebrated the October 7 massacre--the public response was going to be evasive. But in the margin of the leaked document, Eralp wrote the truth: "There is a PROBLEM. [...] my husband no, and neither do I, want to name specific names, he is afraid of these people and so am I." The leak exposes the raw reality of Islamo-leftism in Germany: Eralp even went so far as to compare the threat level of these pro-Palestinian militants to that of Organized Crime and implores to abort the publication: "I can't put myself and my family in danger for Der SPIEGEL. What do we do now? Do we scrap the whole interview?" The biggest joke of the entire situation, however, was captured in one of the phrases that Eralp did want to publish. In a display of utter disconnection, the candidate states in the interview: "What I can say with total clarity is that, as governing mayor, I will ensure the safety of all Berlin women and all Berlin men." A promise that rings utterly ridiculous coming from a leader who, in the same document, secretly admits that she can't even protect her own family from the rank-and-file of her party.
So is this real? Well, Google's leftwing propaganda AI says it is:
In the wake of the scandal, Eralp has announced that she will take legal action against Der Spiegel and file a formal complaint with the Press Council for having quoted her internal annotations. This judicial maneuver immediately reveals just how sensitive and utterly overwhelmed these leadership cadres really are when faced with crisis situations. Berlin's radical left believed it could politically capitalize on Islamic extremism; today, the documents prove that it's the extremism holding them hostage.
By the way: The lesson that Der Spiegel takes from this is that the problem is with this candidate, not the Islamists controlling the left:
The "Der Spiegel" and Die Linke Controversy (October 2026) * The Incident: In late October 2026, Der Spiegel published a report following an interview with Elif Eralp, the leader of Die Linke in Berlin who won the September 2026 Abgeordnetenhaus election. * The Leak: When Eralp's office sent back the authorized interview draft, internal notes and remarks were accidentally left in the document. * The Content: The leaked notes showed Eralp requesting to strike a question regarding Ibrahim Ibrahim, a pro-Palestinian activist who praised the October 7 Hamas attack. In her private comments, Eralp wrote that she and her husband were afraid of backlash and could not put their family in danger, stating: "I can't put myself and my family in danger for Der Spiegel" and "I should never have agreed to this interview". * The Party's Reaction: Die Linke leadership accused Der Spiegel of publishing private notes that endanger the safety of Eralp and her family. The party announced plans to file a complaint with the Deutscher Presserat (German Press Council) and considered legal action. * Political Impact: The leak has created friction during ongoing coalition negotiations in Berlin between Die Linke, the Greens, and the SPD, while drawing scrutiny over how the party handles antisemitism and radical associations within its ranks.
DER SPIEGEL
@derspiegel Translated from German Elif Eralp wants to become the governing mayor of Berlin. But in an internal memo, the Left Party politician reveals that she fears terror sympathizers with contacts to Hamas. Can such a person be responsible for security in the capital...
I mean, yes, if she's terrified pro-Hamas Islamists will kill her family she obviously will not crack down on these violent invaders, but aren't you missing the real problem here...?
🇩🇪🚨MEGA-ESCÁNDALO: La ganadora de las elecciones de BERLÍN, del partido de ultraizquierda Die Linke confiesa por error que Hamás controla su partido y teme por su vida💣
Un error acaba de generar una crisis de seguridad impresionante. La revista Der Spiegel —un medio, cabe destacar, de marcada tendencia izquierdista— ha sacado a la luz un documento interno que prueba cómo Die Linke ha sido secuestrado por el islamismo. Su candidata a gobernar Berlín, Elif Eralp, envió por accidente a la redacción las notas privadas de una entrevista donde confiesa estar coaccionada y aterrorizada por Hamás que opera dentro de su propio partido. Resulta que luego de una entrevista, el equipo de la candidata revisó la transcripción. Durante este proceso, Eralp hizo comentarios internos que debían quedar en la más estricta confidencialidad. Sin embargo, el documento con las acotaciones sin borrar fue devuelto a los periodistas. El contenido de esas notas es dinamita. Cuando Der Spiegel le preguntó por Ibrahim Ibrahim —un propalestino simpatizante de Hamás que celebró la masacre del 7 de octubre—, la respuesta pública iba a ser esquiva. Pero en el margen del documento filtrado, Eralp escribió la verdad: «Hay un PROBLEMA. [...] mi marido no, y yo tampoco, quiero nombrar nombres concretos, él tiene miedo de esta gente y yo también». La filtración expone la cruda realidad del islamoizquierdismo en Alemania: Eralp llegó a comparar el nivel de amenaza de estos militantes pro-Palestina con el del Crimen Organizado e implora abortar la publicación: «No puedo poner en peligro a mí misma y a mi familia por Der SPIEGEL. ¿Qué hacemos ahora? ¿Anulamos toda la entrevista?». El mayor chiste de toda esta situación, sin embargo, quedó plasmado en una de las frases que Eralp sí quería publicar. En un alarde de desconexión absoluta, la candidata afirma en la entrevista: «Lo que sí puedo decir con total claridad es que, como alcaldesa gobernante, velaré por la seguridad de todas las berlinesas y todos los berlineses». Una promesa que resulta irrisoria viniendo de una dirigente que, en el mismo documento, reconoce en secreto que ni siquiera puede proteger a su propia familia de las bases de su partido. Luego del escándalo, Eralp ha anunciado que procederá legalmente contra Der Spiegel y presentará una queja formal ante el Consejo de Prensa por haber citado sus anotaciones internas. Esta maniobra judicial evidencia de inmediato lo susceptibles y completamente desbordados que están en realidad estos cuadros dirigentes frente a situaciones de crisis. La izquierda radical berlinesa creyó que podía capitalizar electoralmente el extremismo islámico; hoy, los documentos demuestran que es el extremismo quien los tiene de rehenes.— Karina Mariani (@KarinaLMariani) October 29, 2026

No more bullshitting around. No more waiting for the other shoe to drop. Let's get right down to the nub of the matter.
I want to see leftists killed and raped by their Muslim "comrades." There. I said it. Because that it the only way for the leftists to wake the fuck up and become unbrainwashed.
It's a harsh form of Cult Deprogramming, but in this case probably the only effective way.
And luckily, we don't have to "make it happen," because it will happen eventually in the fullness of time.

They brag about huge numbers of new Muslims every year but they come to that number by calling every baby born a Muslim. In all likelihood they are just not going to be a major threat because young Muslims who move to Europe or born there are more European than Muslim.

Scientology claims to be the world's fastest-growing religion, frequently citing its expanding real estate holdings as evidence. The organization reports controlling over 18 million square feet of property worldwide, including elaborate churches and facilities. However, expanding buildings doesn't necessarily mean expanding membership. Independent census figures from Canada, Australia, and Britain show declining Scientology affiliation. Much of the construction is financed through member donations, raising questions about whether Scientology's impressive property expansion reflects genuine religious growth or simply accumulated wealth.

Because, to clarify:
Islam is not a race. There are Muslims of every race and ethnicity — white, Asian, black, Middle-Eastern, and everything in between.
Islam is also not a religion. Religions concern spiritual matters, God, the soul, etc. But religion, at least in our Western concept that invented the very notion of "religion," does not concern itself much with worldly politics. When the West encountered Islam, it did klnow how to classify this...thing...so we classified it (mistakenly) as a "religion" because we had no other word to characterize it, and because Islam did at least, in part, concern itslef with God, the afterlife, etc. But this mischaracterization was the all-time classic example of "orientalism" (see: Edward Said), in which we apply Wesdtern concept to glamorized "eastern" things we do not actually understand.
Islam is, in practical reality, an all-encompassing life-doctrine and worldview that includes politics, warfare, personal behavior, economics, social structure, morality, sexuality, the legal structure, and, yes, also spirituality.

The cult of the Scientific Shrink was bigger in the 50s to 70s and that's the core of the 'belief'. People go to shrinks now more for medication rather than as a way to fix the world. Scientology since has been scamming money out of the rich to keep its purchasing power up.

2014, Collins won he race by 40 when polls said she'd win by 30. That 10% was the rural white vote.

This is not an insane conspiracy theory, this is just a conspiracy theory. Most of the entrenched political power groups in the world today are made up of insane partisan ideologues, and a larger base of people who are mostly with the program but also are terrified of reprisals if they try to either leave or argue against the core tenets of the movement.
Trump's moves to this time have been to relieve the stranglehold the lunatic core holds over the mostly normies, so the movement, or the individuals can act like rational actors, and be sane in their own interest for a change.

Much of the construction is financed through member donations, raising questions about whether Scientology's impressive property expansion reflects genuine religious growth or simply accumulated wealth.
Posted by: Stateless
=============
I read something about that Scientology "growth" once. You see a lot of big study centers full of empty desks and dead monitors. Auditoriums that are never used. They spend money on fake church assets as an investment strategy or a way of convincing people that they're big and popular. The dough comes from members who drain themselves bankrupt supporting the church or work like literal slaves.

And hasn't the AK court (yet another august institution, I'm sure) already ruled that the fake Dan Sullivan will stay on the ballot? At this date I don't see how the ballot could be changed, as a practical matter, anyway.
Posted by: rhomboid
Yes. Remember back when that poor schmuck got charged and convicted for making a fake graphic telling people that Killary's election day was one day later than the real one? Election interference is a federal crime. Then you have concurrent state investigations where the early state case that threw Sullivan off the ballot and then the AK Supreme Court restored him required multiple sworn statements that Sullivan was not a Dem plant. Thus perjury before the court.
So DoJ has subpoened 30 people so far involved in the mess. Marc Elias included.
And the fecal matter has hit the DSCC as it appears the scheme came from an associated (named now) political operative for them and they are the ones that peddled the scheme to the Peltola campaign. That explains the NYT trying to shift the focus to the Peltola campaign.

There's no such thing as a 'palestinian.'
Posted by: Sponge
More precisely:
"Palestinian" is an adjective, not a noun.
It was origianly used, exclusively adjectivally, to character people of various demograophics who were at the tiem living in what was called "The Holy Land," i.e. the former Roman province of Palestina (which itslef was a made-up name created by the Romans to tweak the Jews, by naming their land after a (mistranslated) tribe that had lived there thousdands of years earlier but long ago disappeared. But that's a diffierent story.)
Thus, there were "Palestinian Jews" "Palestinian Christians," "Palestinian Druze," "Palestinian Arabs," ""Palestinian Turks," etc. etc.
These labels persisted up until as late as the 1960s, when the phrase ""Palestinian Arabs" was shortened to just "Palestinians," and all the other "Palestinian" labels disappeared.

Check out practically ANY Encyclopedia published prior to 1966 or so, crack open the "P" volume and look up "Palestine". You'll get one of two outcomes--there will be NO ENTRY at all for "Palestine", or you'll get a short description with ZERO politics or statehood assertions and will instead have "Palestine" described as a *region* within the country of Israel.

That's questionable, as a number of people talk about Marxism or even Atheism as a "religion" which also aren't religions in that sense either.
Which illustrates a major point of mine is that we need a third term for the social structure of "religion" + social enforcement of the Vision.
Atheists, in particular tend to be egregious on this vacillation. "Religion is dumb because nothing is supernatural", but enough of them--which are not also Marxists--will tell you Marxism is a "religion", if you point out how many people Marxism killed with efficiency that religious zeal could only envy.

No such region. The British mandate created after WWI of Palestine and Transjordan carved out of Ottoman turf was the first surfacing of it since the brief period where Rome renamed Judea because of a major Jewish revolt there. Even that didn't last long.
At independence the Brits carved the area into Arab bits and Jewish bits and left. Arabs and the neighboring nations attacked instantly and lost to the Jewish settlers and allies.

Because one of the key elements of a "religion" is the Vision. The "authority of God" is leveraged to "his lieutenants and prophets" and is the basis of the wisdom that obeying him utterly is.
The vision is the power and uncontestable authority of God and being on the right team.
After that, it's obeying everything some people invoking that authority tell you.
Christianity has resembled this at times, but not when Jesus' example of Servant Leadership is paid more than lip service. Jesus did not tell Peter to shear his sheep, but to feed them, to serve them.
The lure to claim authority is a lure that men will always put on divine authority. And it is no surprise that the Church, composed of men, fell to that temptation.
Islam is paper thin on the spirit dimension and big on the part that any other religion can do: I am an authority, God commands you obey me.
And I would gather this explains why their religion, such that it is, is a slip cover over authority over men.

Not in that era - "the 5 good emperors" all had decently long rules from 90AD to maybe 140. Then the lack of formal succession rules took over when a line produced too many weak rulers. Things got really bad after 230 AD when the rulers became military and died in battle or usurped when they couldn't cover all the crises.

The biggest accounting firm in Manhattan moved from downtown to just across the street from the KSU campus football stadium. Helped fund the multi-story building. This happened after college students got NIL money.
Coach Snyder of blessed memory worked hard to give his players a financial education and some street smarts, before NIL.

True, Zombie. It's not just the perks but what you do with them. The left screams about Trump's daddy gave him money starting out. Yeah, the real story is his dad told him to stay in Queens, NYC was a shark tank. But gave him a million dollars (a loan?) to try and make it, which in NYC even in the 70s and 80s real estate game, a million was nothing. And he made it work.
I rolled my eyes a lot during the sci-fi time movie with Justin Timberlake. But one of the most real things about that film, was he gave his friend ten years of time, and what did his friend do with that wealth? Drank himself to death. Leaving behind a wife and kid. Brutal but true.

Although it's clear that Rousseau and Owen contribute more to this vision than Marx's logistics and History which makes Owen's communes "inevitable", or at least worthwhile as "History's end".

SHUT IT ALL DOWN!
"FinCEN issued a geographic targeting order to trace criminal networks that divert funds overseas and ensure that taxpayer dollars go to the American people, not terror groups like Al Shabab."
"We have ongoing investigations at home and abroad into Al Shabab, its networks, and its the start of the Trump administration, FinCEN data, have also supported the law enforcement effort that led to the arrest and charging of 115 fraudsters as well as 75 convictions and nearly 3,000 subpoenas across Minnesota." 🔥
Under the targeting order, every bank and money transmitter in Hennepin and Ramsey counties has to report any overseas transfer of $3,000 or more
The scam cost Minnesota taxpayers potentially BILLIONS, and part of that money was laundered overseas. Tim Walz had YEARS to stop it!

Their only purpose was to practice and play hockey. Everything else - from finding a place to live, transportation if needed, even laundry service - was paid for/arranged by the team. Financial advisors (with a very aggressive conservative spiel on money management), tax preparers.
Of course these guys aren't generally pulling in the long green, but a portion of them do rotate up to the bigs and some stay there for a while or forever, at which point of course they're handed off to that team's support network. Lots of sociological and other differences with basketball and football player backgrounds, in general, but seems that hockey at least is taking a pro-active approach to help the young guys avoid trouble.

It's hijacked Abrahamism, with some of the same inspirations, but corrupted in service to political power.
Somewhat like the Divine Right of Kings, which Samuel Rutherford had to fight against as a default assumption among Christians.
And definitely this is what Locke fought against in his writings against the Crown scholar Filmer, who argued that people belonged to the King.
Despite Deuteronomy, God's will was kings and enveloping authority.

A Stronk and Empowered Black Female Democrat Judge Routinely Makes Racist Screeds Against Attorneys Before Her, Because She's So Anti-Racist
Another DEI clown put into a position of authority by the left, and one that seems to have genuine mental health struggles on top of it.
By the way: This isn't new. Josh Blackmun wrote an article, which I'll link later, in which he reports that he has heard all about this nasty racist mentally-ill woman for a long time but didn't say anything, because no one made it official by filing a complaint. Well now a complaint has been filed."Judicial notice" is when a judge enters a fact into the record without evidence or testimony. It's for simple matters of fact that can be found in, say, a dictionary or a calendar, like "I'm taking judicial notice that July the 25th was a Sunday." This Nobel Prize Finalist takes "judicial notice" of her own background and the Racial Expertise it gives her in all things, especially in knowing Which Other Races Are Stupid and Evil. She would have failed out of the Charlie Kelly School of Bird Law. Filibuster!
A lawyer's misconduct complaint against US District Judge Ada Brown stemmed from a hearing during which she repeatedly directed racial insults at him, according to documents reviewed by Bloomberg Law. Attorney Ezra Young, who has represented a Black woman professor suing over a tenure denial, filed a complaint against Brown following the April 2026 hearing in Dallas, he confirmed in an interview with Bloomberg Law... Throughout the hearing, the judge, a Black woman with Native American ancestry, accused Young of mistreating Black attorney took "judicial notice" of her own background in making findings against Young, and repeatedly referred to Young, who is Latino, as being White. Brown called the hearing months after she revoked Young's ability to practice in her courtroom to weigh whether the lawyer should face sanctions.
He's intimidated by Black Excellence? Where might that be, DEI hire? "Black excellence" is often -- but not always -- a racist meme asserting black supremacy and, here, people's discomfort with seeing the full power of black supremacy. It doesn't have to mean that. It could just be a little racial boosting, talking up "black excellence." But here it's plainly an assertion that she is superior due to her melanin ratio.
"I think what's happening here, quite candidly, is you are very intimidated for some reason, Mr. Young, with Black excellence, in light of your White mediocrity. Yeah. Right?," Brown said, according to the transcript. "You should write that down. I mean, you -- I'm -- you look like a White man, right?"
"I'm not White, Your Honor," Young replied, adding that he's Latino. "Well, you are White-presenting; is that fair to say?" Brown said, according to the transcript. Young said that he's "fair-skinned," and Brown said that Young had "White privilege" when he argued his client didn't receive key evidence in the case.I'm so glad that the black leftist political class, full of Black Excellence of the kind you see here, is on the job and ready to instruct us in aggressive anti-racism.
Well you are in fact a stupid black lawyer who should be disbarred, and it does appear you need help -- both for your job performance and for your obvious mental illness -- so you should accept whatever help this White Latino Savior can offer.
"You're the White savior, come to save all the stupid Black lawyers in Texas who need your help, from New York," Brown later said, according to the transcript.
During the hearing, Brown also implied that Young fabricated a quote in the case and indicated she'd gone through Young's public social media profiles before suggesting that the attorney may be tracking her on social media.I wasn't kidding about the mental illness.
Yeah, forced on him by Democrats. I don't know why we allow that still. Oh yeah I do -- because Nostalgia Republicans still think it's 1997.
Young said he was "disgusted and mortified" by the suggestion of him having an anti-Black animus, and told Brown that he was concerned about her conduct during the hearing, according to the transcript. Soon after, Young filed a formal complaint against Brown, saying he believed the judge may be suffering from a mental health condition. The complaint helped launch a judicial investigation that resulted in her temporarily losing her docket earlier this month. A special judicial committee has ordered Brown to undergo a psychiatric examination as part of that investigation. Brown, a Donald Trump appointee who joined the court in 2019, didn't return requests for comment.
Brown has said she won't participate in proceedings tied to complaints by Young and Chief Judge Jennifer Walker Elrod of the Fifth Circuit. Brown earlier defended her conduct toward Young in a 76-page written response viewed by Bloomberg Law. Brown in that response denied having a mental health issue, as raised by Young in his complaint, and denied that any of her actions were inappropriate.I'd like to have an undelicate conversation with this racist cow about how some extremely uneducated and unfit people get Socially Promoted into jobs they are completely unqualified for.
Andre Davis, a former Fourth Circuit judge who previously served as a federal trial judge in Baltimore, said the purported conduct -- at the hearing and since -- shows "a clear pattern of inappropriate and abusive behavior by Judge Brown that reflects violations of numerous provisions of the Code of Conduct for Federal Judges." "If the investigation of the matters at issue were to conclude on the current facts, without consideration of any potential information bearing on mitigation, the case for removal of a judge, at the state or federal level, would be compelling," Davis said.In an unexpected twist, this angry and stupid black racist is "triggered" by any word she thinks gives her Special Racial Rights to lash out at other people for their racial make-up:
Braced for Conflict Young, a Columbia Law School graduate and solo-practitioner who's litigated for over a decade, had tense interactions with Brown in the past. She issued two earlier orders raising whether he should face penalties in her court. In an interview with Bloomberg Law, Young said he was prepared for the April hearing to be "bizarre," but that he found his experience with Brown to be "wildly disturbing." "This was a degree of conflict and what seemed like a judge using her position of power on top of what I've come to believe is an obvious disability that I think is disqualifying, trying to go out of her way, in my belief, to prevent a civil rights litigant and her lawyer from using the civil rights laws to do what they're supposed to do," Young said. ... During the April 24, 2026 hearing, Brown accused Young of "racial bullying" toward Black attorneys in the case. Brown also said that Young was acting like a "Chad," a term Young wasn't familiar with. The judge said it was the male version of a "Karen." "It's someone who calls the manager when they don't get their way. They stomp their foot when the rules are supposed to apply to them, right?" Brown said, according to the transcript.
So she sees the word "lynching" in an article submitted as evidence and she decides this is a coded dog-whistle against her so now she gets to freak out and scream at people:
During the April hearing, Brown took issue with an article headline describing the case when it went before the Supreme Court of Texas. The article quoted a brief filed by Young that referenced another law professor apparently comparing what happened in the tenure denial to a "lynching."
This White Latino continued attempting to pound it into the thick head-bone of this bison-skulled woman that he is not in fact caucasian. But she didn't understand.
The judge accused Young of making up that quote to "get a headline." "And so when I read a headline -- a sensationalized, very racialized headline that says, 'it's like I've been lynched,' and it's literally got no connection to this case, I have to ask you, Mr. Social Media, Main Character Chad, White Hero, Savior, Loves to Help Black People Be An Ally, where the lynching in this case came from?" Brown said, according to the transcript. She also apparently gave Young a copy of a 1920 newspaper article that described a lynching. "So we don't find lynching jokes funny down here, sir," Brown said, according to the transcript.
Toward the end of the hearing, Young said that Brown seemed to be "using vicious stereotypes about White people, when I've repeatedly disclosed to this Court I am Latino." He said that it appeared that Brown "is trying to tar and feather me for anti-Black animus, that has never been raised by anyone but this Court," according to the transcript. "This Black woman?" Brown replied. "No, Your Honor. This Court," Young responded.He tried to tell her he has no anti-black animus and in fact, as a civil rights lawyer, has worked to vindicate the rights of many black people. This racist lunatic was offended at that:
"Can I pause and just tell you, I appreciate, on behalf of Black people, your White saviordom," Brown said. "Your Honor, again, I'm not White," Young replied.
Josh Blackmun:
Oh, she doesn't even bother doing her job? Plot twist. Next thing you'll say something Kah-razy like "she also created a fake charity and collected hundreds of thousand of dollars that she spent on trips and jewelry." And she's also apparently refusing to participate in the disciplinary hearing over her action. I guess she's just relying on her Black Excellence to carry the day.
The Bigger Problem With Judge Ada Brown's Woke Tirade: She Said The Quiet Part Out Loud About "White Saviors" Many lawyers and judges harbor the "anti-racist" views that Judge Brown spewed, but have the mental faculties to keep it private. For some time, I've heard rumors about unusual behavior from Judge Ada Brown in the Northern District of Texas. I was hesitant to write about the situation, because my information was incomplete and some of it was revealed in confidence. Now, the accusations are public, in part, because Judge Brown personally disclosed items to the press and others. ... Now, onto the substance. There seems to be something seriously wrong with Judge Brown. Her behavior in court that has been reported in the press is extremely troubling. Her refusal to decide cases seems to be an abdication of her responsibility as a federal judge.
And her unwillingness to participate in any disciplinary proceedings suggests something is amiss. I will hold off on opining on these issues in more depth, as I suspect more facts will come out.Here's the real scandal, as they say: What Brown is saying is not aberrant among the black leftist class. It is their foundational ideology:
Some people may be shocked at what Judge Ada Brown said in court, but the truth is that she is parroting standard dogma from Anti-Racists and Critical Racial Theorists. The charges may be completely absurd for someone like Ezra Young, but imagine the black plaintiff was represented by a white lawyer. Would that person be a "White Savior"? Think of the most famous white lawyer in American literature. Could even Atticus Finch from To Kill a Mockingbird be derided as a "White Savior"? Yes. Welcome to the world of academia.

That's a big tell. The other thing going on here is that states are very protective of their state bars and local lawyers. They resent and often despise big-city lawyers coming into "their" fiefdoms and taking business away from local lawyers.
I experienced this first-hand when defending nationwide class action and products liability cases. Many of those cases are brought in courts in the south where the plaintiffs' bar rules. Texas is (or was) a big one. Lotsa class action and injury cases brought there.
We always had to make sure we had a local lawyer involved and billing nice fat fees to smooth over the friction of being "a yankee lawyer come all the day down here to tell us dumb rednecks how to lawyer."
I even wrote a song about it, called ... Yankee Boy. LOL.

That's a big tell. The other thing going on here is that states are very protective of their state bars and local lawyers. They resent and often despise big-city lawyers coming into "their" fiefdoms and taking business away from local lawyers.
I experienced this first-hand when defending nationwide class action and products liability cases. Many of those cases are brought in courts in the south where the plaintiffs' bar rules. Texas is (or was) a big one. Lotsa class action and injury cases brought there.
We always had to make sure we had a local lawyer involved and billing nice fat fees to smooth over the friction of being "a yankee lawyer come all the day down here to tell us dumb rednecks how to lawyer."
I even wrote a song about it, called ... Yankee Boy. LOL.

Yep. Cornynhole and Cruz had to issue the blue slips for this nutjob. Probably involved in a trade for another nominee in another state where Dems refused to seat a presidential nominee without some sort of quid pro quo.
Blue slips are an anachronism dating back from WWI seg era Democrats using it to formally block any GOP race mixing nominee from getting a vote to put an integrationist judge in those states.

She was and fwiw, Cornyn and Cruz were both on the Senate Judiciary committee in 2019. Lady Lindsay Graham was chair. So my guess is some sort of swap versus a blue state nominee was involved but that is only a guess. Both Cornyn and Cruz though had to return blue slips for this nominee and could have tanked her being on the court.
Trump, at least in term one, due to senatorial courtesy, would have consulted the home state senators for any district court appointment so as to not get blindsided by a rejection. So either Cornyn or Cruz had to promote this incompetent boob as a potential nominee, again, I am guessing in return for a competent judge in another state. Or because Cornynhole was in fact a Democrat.

I understand. It seems like Brown has really gone off the dead end and not just in this case. She should probably be removed. However, her behavior in this case may be in part due to frustration to an out of state lawyer who bashes black lawyers online. Again, from Legal Insurrection's comments:
"Young was in Texas helping on a case (several cases actually) where he was working under “pro hoc vice,” which is where he is not a member of the local bar, but was working under the supervision of a lawyer who was.
The ability for Young to work in that manner was pulled after he continually made complaints about black lawyers in writing and also posting attorney-client privileged information."

U.S. stocks are falling mainly because disappointing results and outlooks from Amazon and Intel have intensified a sell-off in technology and AI-related shares. Investors are also questioning whether heavy AI spending will pay off; Intel was especially weak, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq fell more than the Dow.
There’s another concern adding pressure: two Federal Reserve officials said inflation may require higher interest rates, after a recent inflation reading strengthened expectations of a possible December rate hike.

The lawless, power-mad, unhinged usurpation of political power by courts, their erasure of the constitution and its replacement by this gigantic absurd edifice of judge-made "law", the delusional imitation of some kind of Revolutionary Command Council in issuing cultural ukazes far outside any imaginable purview they might have - this is the important issue.
Had a few SCOTUS clerk acquaintances in DC days. Was fun to torment them about the most ridiculous cases. O'Connor's idiotic affirmative action ruling was a favorite. In each case they had no defense, really nothing to say. The whole system, culturally, rests on a lazy ignorant deference to an unexamined emperor with no clothes.

OK story time:
When my mom was a teenager, they were so poor after medical bills to help with grandma's brain tumor that they had too little to eat. The stores would let them go into the dumpster and find edible but expired foods to take home. They would eat a can of soup for dinner, between the six of them.
I grew up less poor than that but... very poor.

Trump is a realist. Senatorial courtesy on judicial nominations extends way back to the nation's founding on district court nominations. Used to also apply to circuit court nominations with specific state 'seats' on each circuit but that norm has been weakened a lot.
Trump has complained repeatedly and publicly that the blue slip policy (not a Senate rule btw) of the judiciary committee should be ended so that his nominees can come to a vote. Grassley, as one of the oldest senators with the most seniority among the GOP, as chair of the Judiciary Cmte, refuses to do that but is due to be rotated out of the position next Congress anyway I think.
The blue slip policy has made a mess though of district attorney nominations (mebbe US marshals as well but dunno about that), because of blue state Democrats blocking all of those using blue slips which never was an issue before Trump.
Time for that policy to die for the GOP.

Don't discount the fact that encrustation of laws eventually destroy liberty as it gives the tools for power mad despots to give the veneer of legality for their actions. This judge made a public ass of herself but there are a lot of equally insane hacks in black that are clever enough not to show their diseased and twisted contents of their brains by restraining themselves from public utterances and public behavior.
Boasberg, among others, is just as cracked and power mad as she is for example. Judge Sullivan pursuing a white whale is another hack in black doing evil under the name of 'justice'.

The Justice Department plans to put about 1,000 of its own employees in polling places across the country on Election Day, Nov. 3, and has not yet said where.
Civil Rights Division chief Harmeet Dhillon announced the figure Aug. 17, and by Sept. 22 she said the department was "pretty close" to it, calling it "the biggest DOJ election observer effort in history," according to the NAACP's federal complaint.
The complaint says DOJ has never deployed more than 600 monitors in a prior election. Department spokeswoman Kiersten Pels told USA Today the full county list will come early next week.

When he says Latino, does he mean he's from Latin America, he may have meant Hispanic as a signifier he's from Hispanola.
Or maybe he's just reaching for a bullsh*t term to make the lunatic, racist twat bag stop humiliating him.

There was plenty of ammo and crap lying around their side of Stalingrad in the battle. Live men and real estate was the problem. For all practical purposes except morale the Germans took Stalingrad in the fall of 42. It was the counterattack on the flanks and rear that did the damage. Even when surrendering months later the Germans held the city, 62nd army was too weak to push them out.
The problem for the Germans was that Stalingrad was a pretty worthless objective aside from a place to shelter from the winter once the factories were destroyed. And the open flanks on both sides held with inferior troops was a giant "Surround Me!" sign on their asses.
great courage from the Russian troops both in and out of the city and a great job by the counterattack planners. Russia did a second offensive at the same time nearer Moscow called Mars that had more men that the Germans were able to defeat at a huge cost.

it also was pretty much ignored by the men facing Operation Blau, and presumably the army brass afterward. It was notable that often units dissolved and moved to the rear in a semi formed state, sometimes crossing the paths of the Germans moving south and west going north and east to shelter behind the Don river where they were reorganized.

Feds Raid Multiple Fraudulent "Autism Services Centers" in, Get This, Minnesota
It's the same scam we've seen before: essentially fake "health care providers" bill the federal government for "services" they never provide to "patients" who don't exist or don't even have the ailments they're supposedly being treated for. This could quickly be stopped by the most basic of verification protocols, but the Democrats always turn those all the way off. And, as usual, they find a liberal criminal, in this case a 70-year-old Karen, who has some certification which allows her to sign off on the completely-fake billing. And no further questions are asked.Federal agents raided multiple Minnesota autism service providers Thursday in the latest law enforcement action involving a state already under intense scrutiny over allegations of widespread fraud in taxpayer-funded programs. The FBI confirmed that federal and state agencies were conducting "court-authorized investigative activity" at multiple locations across Minnesota, including sites in the Twin Cities and Rochester, according to MPR News. ... Iska Inc. received more than $16.7 million in Medicaid payments between 2018 and 2025, according to state data reviewed by the Minnesota Star Tribune. The business participated in Minnesota's Early Intensive Developmental and Behavioral Intervention program, which provides services to children and young people with autism and has faced increasing scrutiny over fraud allegations. ... The Justice Department also announced charges against 15 defendants in May in connection with alleged health care fraud schemes involving more than $90 million in intended losses. The cases included an alleged $46.6 million scheme targeting Minnesota's autism intervention program, which DOJ said saw Medicaid claims surge from more than $600,000 in 2018 to more than $400 million by 2025.Meanwhile: Greasy Gavin Newsom is spending millions of taxpayer dollars to provide luxury gourmet food to welfare lifers.
California Sends Luxury Foods to Welfare Recipients As middle-class families struggle to afford groceries, the state delivers organic produce, salmon, and more to Medi-Cal members.
Salmon, beef, organic produce, and Amy's Kitchen meals: these are just some of the luxury foods that California welfare recipients can get delivered to their homes each week, for free. Californians like TikTok user "Lupita" are taking full advantage. Earlier this year, she posted a video of herself opening a taxpayer-funded grocery box, apologizing to her manicurist as she unboxed it by hand. Inside, she found carrots, heads of broccoli, apples, oranges, celery, rice, lettuce, and more. "Yesterday, I was like, 'I need some lettuce,' but the lettuce was like five dollars," she said. "And look at this. Fresh lettuce! Thank you, God." She can also thank Governor Gavin Newsom. As part of his nearly $12 billion Medicaid reform package, welfare recipients--including illegal immigrants--can receive free, "medically tailored" meals and groceries, delivered straight to their door. They can get foods for free that would cost ordinary people a small fortune. The food service is part of CalAIM, Newsom's multibillion-dollar Medi-Cal reform package. Signed into law in 2021, CalAIM directs Medicaid dollars to social programs like transitional rent payments and housing deposits. Newsom called it a "once-in-a-generation opportunity to completely transform the Medicaid system in California." The transformation is working. The most popular of CalAIM's "Community Supports," by far, is "medically tailored meals." That program and a related offering send prepared meals or "tailored" grocery items to qualified Medi-Cal recipients' homes. The state makes eligibility easy. Applicants need a qualifying Medi-Cal card, a provider's recommendation, and an eligible condition. In a 2024 presentation to a Los Angeles nonprofit, Andrew Barrier, a former executive of a California medically tailored food contractor, told his audience how easy it was to enroll. "They're not looking to push people away from the program, they're really looking for people to be on it," he said. "Step one is that chronic condition. This is really how most people come in, and they could have diabetes, pre-diabetes, cardiovascular, mental- and behavioral-health disorders--we've seen anxiety, PTSD, depression, ADHD. Again, the list is very, very long." From there, the food shows up at recipients' doorsteps. Medi-Cal pays contractors to deliver the food for up to 12 weeks, after which eligible recipients can re-enroll. And it's not cheap: across 24 weeks, between food and delivery, a single "medically tailored meals" recipient costs taxpayers more than $1,500.
Here's the Corrupt Karen who signed off on fake billing for fake patients suffering from fake autism and even warned her co-conspirators that they had to CALM DOWN on the truly massive fraud or else "the feds will come in."

On a completely different level, go deep into SpaceX, or Microsoft 25 years ago, and basically everyone is autistic.
My main complaint with the label is it far too broad. If a non-functional person and a high-achiever both have the same diagnosis, it's not a useful diagnosis.

Especially because it established all that many taxpayers are now trying to vote against.
They say you have to pay taxes for your child's "education", but in our schools they "know" that schools are NOT a "educational institution" but a "socializing institution" (My ex-teacher wife, had her principle say that square to her face.)
So every time you want to cut the sum: "But don't you WANT your children EDUCATED?!" "What do you have against EDUCATION?!"
But, NEA doesn't want schools for education, it wants to serve the needs of all the parents who say "You know what my child needs more of? Socializing. I'm worried that playing with the neighbor kids, they are not getting the right kind of socializing!"

I would concede that there is a spectrum of people/behaviors/disabilities that could be called autism, and that is just normal animal trait variability. But it is very narrow to the point of being essentially a bright line, as we once knew it to be - you are, or you aren't.
The abuse of the spectrum idea is purely financially motivated and leads to widespread child abuse or neglect of a child's actual needs (such as "fresh air," exercise, being forced from one's comfort zone, etc.).

Prevalence: Estimates in the 1960s suggested that autism affected only about 2 to 4 children per 10,000 (e.g., Lotter's 1966 study estimated roughly 4 in 10,000).

These guys are light years ahead of other people when it comes to nuclear physics and engineering, but terrible at personal interaction.
That's not a disability, its different priorities. When you were learning how to flirt with Lisa in the desk next to you, they were figuring out how their pen worked.
My firsthand view of autism and the spectrum is that it's a byproduct of smaller families and uncoordinated communities
I think that plays a big role: disconnected parents and no extended family to teach and demonstrate proper behavior and cultural roles.

That's an oversimplification. A lot of the traits that make a good engineer are because of autism. Over-fixation on details. Extreme interest in things over people. Extreme retention of technical information.
Talking with an engineer who can recall all the details how a barely used function works based on their cursory review of it three years ago will lead you to quickly realize they're not like other people.

Does the Hasan Piker lawsuit against Scott Jennings for like $70M+ have legs, or is it a nothing burger? Apparently it's connected to a clip he ran that might have been doctored.
I'd hate for Piker to get one penny, when all he does all day is spew vile, treasonous, violent hate and lies on Twitch, and shock his dog on camera and then lie about it. If he's ever slandered anyone in the right, they need to sue him right back.

I believe it goes farther than that, one of the common experiences in dealing with autistic people is that they are frustrated with difficulty in communication and understanding, which certainly doesn't suggest contentedness. Roundabout explanations are often needed to explain things that are intuitive to most.

Demonize the rich, dumb but I get it. But sucker punch and punch down on the little guy just making a living for his kids? There will be blood. Glad the Red Baron PR team read the actual mood of their audience and are boosting him, not firing him.

Depending on specifics, we used to call this learning disabled. Which goes back to the point they’ve vastly over expanded the definition and diagnosis of who is actually autistic. It’s moved well away from a clinical definition and more neatly into one that meets certain legislative and ultimately benefits driven definitions. That encompasses much more than a clinical diagnosis which at one time was directly tied to the physical genesis of autism itself. Notwithstanding that a direct cause for most autism has not been discovered, that allows the continued expansion of what falls into this category. If you go back to the earlier days of autism and look at the clinical definition it’s easy to see why it has grown over the years. I would argue it’s mostly what they include in that category under an ever expanding definition, and the growth of benefits provided for it.

I have had two young kids. I currently deal with other people's kids in Boy Scouts, children's theater, home school group, and coaching little league. The predominance of kids having real issues with attention and focus or reading social cues or whatever have been less than probably 1%, and many of those are a result of neglect or medicating their kids instead of parenting.
The people I know who do have genuinely weird or asocial kids who could be considered "on spectrum" are not actually medicated, and the parents do all they can to expose them to social situations, encourage social interaction in Scouts and home school group, and bust their asses to make sure that they can experience normal human relations.

Obviously a thousand wheels turning here, but the main drivers are state and federal mis-regulation and captured regulation, and oligopoly or even de facto cartel situations at all levels both on the medical and financial sides of the picture.
And things were made much worse, every flaw and rent-seeking outrage was compounded, by "reform" in 2013. To its almost puzzling credit, the electorate fought against it (including the greatest partisan bloodbath in modern history, 2010). But the inertia and lack of an opposition party prevailed. So a sector that should be about 10% of the economy (even with the aging demo) instead is .... 3 to 4 times that.

I'm thinking probably canned, if only because I find it hard to believe that a bureaucracy could be efficient enough to deliver fresh salmon before it goes bad.
Canned pinks are currently going for a little more than the crap tier ground beef at the local Walmart. The good ground beef is quite a bit more.
Most Alaskans consider pinks just marginally edible even when fresh. They're the next step above chum salmon, which the marketroids have been foisting off on Lower 48ers who don't know any better as "keta" or "silverbrite".

It's probably doomed to failure. But what if it doesn't fail? Cisco's code is infamously hard to update. It would be good to have a more flexible, modern code base.
I see lots of people saying the new code won't be tested or is un-testable. That's silly. You have the old code. Cisco has a bazillion unit tests and extensive test suites. They can run those tests against both and compare results. You can fuzz test against both and compare results. There are lots of ways to ensure parity.

Total healthcare spending could be cut in 24 hours to 25% of what it is right now, and not one actual human with any real sickness or need of care will be affected. Not a one.
Posted by: Elric The Blade "
A good start would be the end of most health insurance and govt. programs as it now structured and go to fee-for-services. End that and prices would drop 50% overnight. They would then drop 50% again over the next year or so as demand and prices came into line and there would be no need for most insurance
Health insurance should only be for truly catastrophic events. It has completely distorted by the entire price/demand system.

For those in non-PNW areas, every species of salmon but pink and chum has a different name in Washington State than it does in most of Alaska. Parts of extreme SE Alaska use the Washington names. I think British Columbia also uses the Washington names.
Washington/Alaska
Chinook/king
Sockeye/red
Coho/silver
Pink/pink
Chums are also known as "dog salmon", but I don't think those names are as highly localized. I've heard both in both places.
Why the names are different, I don't know, but there's always good natured "correcting" going on whenever someone uses the "wrong" name.

Yeah that was the first sign of a scam. I will buy that there is a range of human behavior and emotional response, we all learn that by the age of 5. What I won't buy is that there isn't a bright line between normal range of human behavior and mental illness.
Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at October 30, 2026 12:32 PM (TMNW7)
IANAMHP, but my understanding is that the only "bright line" is whether someone is unable to perform a normal function, like initiating a romantic relationship or maintaining gainful employment. Otherwise, the difference between a disorder (you have it or you don't) and a trait (on a 100-point scale) is not as big as it seems, since diagnosing a disorder involves counting up the number of 'tells'.
Without that singular objective measure, the diagnostic criteria for a disorder is hiding a spectrum by using a threshold to collapse it into a step function. And even so, you can speak intelligibly of sub-clinical "shadow syndromes" that mimic the real deal, but without the crippling disability.
But I think this is because the field is post-Christian and PoMo, so ungrounded.

Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at October 30, 2026 01:04 PM (TMNW7)
More than a few of those extremely high-paid but now bankrupt athletes went bankrupt because one of their highly-trusted relatives, often an uncle, acted as their agent and robbed them blind.
For me one of the saddest parts of too many of these athlete rags-to-riches-to-rags stories is the end result of the lavish homes they bought for their Moms. Even if the athlete paid cash up-front for the property rather than paying the mortgage payments. The athletes don't always fund a trust fund to pay the property taxes and upkeep costs on the property, or didn't fund it enough to keep-up with inflation and the inevitable property tax increases. In those cases, eventually Mom and all the relatives who moved-in to take advantage of free housing with Athletes Mom get thrown out after the athlete goes bust.

Look at the growth of healthcare administration. Just like the growth of administration in schools, it has very little purpose as comprised and adds significant cost. Then take a deeper look at some of the healthcare positions that are unionized. You’ll notice they too have been expanded, with much of it due to contractual concessions.

THE MORNING RANT: Public Radio is Being Squeezed Thanks to Trump Defunding the Corporation for Public Broadcasting
in July 2025, Republicans had long argued for doing just that. Most of them were lying to get our votes, of course, and given the chance to do so, they never did. Republican Representative Paul Ryan famously advocated for gutting CPB funding…until Ryan became Speaker of the House and had control of the purse strings. Suddenly he determined that defunding CPB represented only negligible federal spending, or that it would consume too much political capital, or some other lie as he rubbed his betrayal in our faces.
Defunding public broadcasting is yet another of the innumerable acts that Donald Trump did after decades of surrender-cons (e.g. the legacy GOP) claiming it couldn’t be done.
NPR has long argued that it only gets a nominal amount of its funding from taxpayers. In this NPR from April 2023, in which it was reporting on itself, NPR falsely claimed that less than 1% of its funding comes federal sources. But as The Hill reported in a piece a few weeks later, a great deal of NPR’s funding comes from local public stations, who historically received much of their funding from federal spending.
In other words, the money flow was: Taxpayers → Federal Government → CPB → local stations → NPR.
More specifically, the money that flows from local public radio stations to NPR buys I am not going to do a grave dance, because I am still greatly saddened by the loss of what public radio once was in the days before it sold its soul (and much of its programming time) to NPR. After I graduated from college in the 1980s, the local public radio station was probably my most-listened to station. It was a companion that provided locally-produced shows featuring music that none of the commercial stations played. There were local DJs who hosted eclectic shows full of new-to-me music, especially acoustic, folk, bluegrass, classical and blues. Some DJs would have music from all those genres in the same show! I was a loyal donor for many years, but the expanding NPR lineup and its left-wing programming was like a cancer chewing up the station’s airtime. My last check payable to the local public radio station was in the late 1990s, shortly before my favorite Saturday morning acoustic music show was replaced by a smug, know-it-all, NPR show titled “Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me.” Around the same time, I tuned in one July 4th morning, only to hear NPR airing a show about how awful and racist the U.S. is, and how July 4 is such a difficult day for enlightened Americans. I don’t know if public radio could have survived long-term in the internet era, but by attaching itself to the radical leftists at NPR, it certainly hastened its own demise. Thanks again to Donald Trump and the current Republican Congress for defunding NPR by defunding the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
Chattanooga’s public radio station is looking to make up an approximately $89,000 shortfall or it will have to potentially consider cutting programming or other services, according to station leadership.------------------------------------------------ “I would say funding is what keeps me up at night,” general manager Susan Lazenby said Thursday. “I think we have a lot of positive things going on at the station, but without the federal support, it makes it really complicated to pay bills.” The financial pressures date to July 2025, when Congress approved President Donald Trump’s request to cut $1.1 billion in previously approved funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which distributed federal funds to public radio and broadcasting stations nationwide. For the local affiliate, this amounts to approximately $126,000 in annual revenue that is gone, Lazenby said, and it’s not clear if or when it’s coming back. That equates to 20% of the organization’s total annual budget, she said.
It was a privilege joining Melissa Mackenzie & Scott McKay on The Continuing Crisis (American Spectator) podcast today. We discussed how prediction markets are being used to influence voter sentiment rather than to gauge it, along with other election-related topics. @MelissaTweets @TheHayride

Seriously, the local NPR station is classical, and it's excellent, and if they hadn't lied to me about their funding, and if they had something, ANYTHING, that remotely resembled something that wasn't far left (see, we can play that game too), I might have supported them. They didn't, so I don't.

Except they do influence people. You see it here. It's a demoralization game. And it has gone on for months. Russia was similar. They need narrative and they needed us to be fearful rather than celebratory that Trump had beat their ass. That's why when Mueller finally "came" it was a big nothing that didn't matter. Because it didn't matter. The op did a lot of its job.
That is influence even if it doesn't impact voting (although logically it would). Even demoralizing their own people is useful "influence" too, even if it's not GOTV. Keeping their people spun up further demoralizes the country. As we see daily.

"I'm nervous about the election," is one thing.
"It's lost, I'm not even going to vote," is another. That's the manipulation that matters. And if this stuff worked, Trump wouldn't have won Iowa by 13 points in 2024. Selzer said Kamala was winning.
In fact, I bet there's more evidence that bad polling actually motivates in the wrong direction than the "depress the other side" thing people assume.

Third Point: OTA is dead. Investment in controlling the algorithms to point to obscure influencers who shape their opinions and principals from who is the highest bidder, that is where the money is.

James people aren't just "nervous about the election", they are making themselves sick over it. Over something that HAS NOT happened.
Yes we care a lot but we are the warriors and passionate recruiters. It helps the Left to fuck our heads over. To keep us from sounding happy and like the side that should be joined. Hell, to keep us arguing rather than coming together.
Things are a lot more complicated than "this doesn't make more people vote differently". The war we are in is mental, physical, electoral and spiritual.

Grifters that are political consultants nowadays benefit from what you said but also they have no problem demoralizing the electorate too. GOPe long used negative ads to basically repulse less partisan people from voting with the idea of reducing elections to base voters only.
GOPe has lost power to MAGA which emphasizes voter mobilization but has a higher number of low propensity voters since Trump won the first time in 2016. So now the Democrat strategy has become trying to keep the unwashed low propensity masses discouraged from voting. Democrats are relying on their increasingly radical base voters and gimmedat coalition rather than trying to broaden their appeal anymore.
GOP has become the big tent party instead to the dismay of GOPe pols longing for the good ole bygone days of Bushworld.

I like to use AI and find out ratings for a lot of these 'influential' broadcasters and news organizations.
Yeah, we watch. But I think it was ABC Nightly News was the largest with about 9 million viewers - out of 340 million. 60 Minutes - 6 to 10 million. CNN - 700,000. MSNow - 1,700,000.
And Neilson doesn't care if you fell asleep after the ballgame or left the room.
So obviously, the big value in appearing on these programs is that the blogs will carry your talking points. But, that really may just be the same 20 million or so people that REALLY follow politics.

Since getting SiriusXM (we travel a lot, both for pleasure and business, and some of the areas we cross through have crappy reception - particularly the more mountainous areas), I've gotten used to starting with the subscription service for both symphony and jazz.
Those selections have come to form so little of the NPR selections that it's mostly not worth trying to find them.
I'd like to go back to hobbyists on free radio - people with opinions, NOT sponsored by the major parties/NGOs, people talking about local events and public interest news, people lending their expertise in cars, homemaking, gardening, small projects around the house, ham radio/computer/other tech subjects.
Pay those guys for their time, but NOT a full-time salary. The only people who should get paid standard full time money would be the techs that actually run the hardware/software for the station.

Vampires. Like former managers in Federal agencies, they'll always come back.
However, locally I see no effect on NPR radio in the Philly/Delaware/S. Jersey region.
There's still the flagship NPR news and talk station in Philadelphia which I avoid, and a station licensed to the University of Pennsylvania featuring adult alternative music, World Cafe, that I do listen to while driving.
On the other hand, the TV programming has been truly awful, taking even a more boring, complaining Leftist approach for current programs along with ancient, often repeated concerts & occasional mini British series occupying several evenings a week.

Very true with partisans. Motivational. But I also think part of it is that GOP campaign consultants actually like the rigged polling because it allows them get donors to pony up for emergency tv ads to 'respond' and those consultants get a fat ad placement commission.
GOP campaign consultants hate hate hate GOTV operations due to its low paying nature. But that is what is more important than adverts, mailers, and robocalls. Volunteers getting out the vote and this is especially true when MAGA relies on big turnout including lower propensity voters. High propensity voters turn themselves out by crawling over broken glass to vote.
From all appearances, Charlie Kirk's revenge in AZ is Turning Point really getting out the vote there and in some particular other states where TP is operating.

Where it hurts is it dries up fundraising. I know someone that owned a GOP fundraising type firm, and when they are trying to raise money for a candidate that looks like a lost cause, the rich donors close up their pocketbooks.
And then what ends up happening is the race is far closer than people realize and had that candidate been better funded, they might have won.
Conservatives need their own "fake polls" type propaganda.

She's horrible, and the bad part of me kinda hopes this stalks her forever. Mommy and daddy are rich, she'll be just fine.
Connected to that: I checked yesterday about the Kirkiversary cake incident at U of U, where that horrible girl brought the "Happy Kirkiversary" cake to the college republicans booth on the anniversary of Charlie's death.
Who got in trouble? Not cake girl! It's a liberal school, that'd be crazy. The college republicans were threatened with expulsion, because they took video of the incident and posted it. (Someone told one of them they would "Kirk them" at a previous event. Prob filmed for proof.) Sleuths figured out who cake girl was and doxxed her, but the repubs got in trouble.
Good news: the school dropped all charges and the college repub kids won't be expelled. I suspect public pressure was too great.
Bad news: other than shame on socials, cake girl will have no repercussions. She's working on a medical degree to work with kids. I wouldn't want my kids within 100 yards of her.
What happened to "hate has no home here?" College liberals are chock full of hate.

Far too many yutes think being an internet influencer is a golden path to fame. Like OnlyFans, a few get the golden ticket and the rest simply degrade and debase themselves.
But, useful in the real world to the rest of us sane individuals. Our current radio and tv ecosystem is dying as ad money goes to the net and like newspapers, means more and more national cheap news coverage using godawful AP crap.
But broadcasting did have one virtue, it was free, it homogenized and united a local area over local concerns and news, and built a community. The internet does no such thing--it doesn't build squat on the local level and actually makes IRL community building worse by heightening national divisions and shoving those into local communities. Like the whole eunuch movement aka transing kids.

Once upon a time (decades ago!!!)
PBS could be a pretty good watch...though admittedly most of the pretty good watching came from the BBC.
Things like "I, Claudius", "Civilization", Masterpiece Theater, "Connections", David Attenborough nature series, British comedies, etc.
The, of course, the BBC jumped headfirst into the leftard toilet, so that ended the quality.
Politically, PBS always sucked ass and the American stuff was sadly antipathetic to the US.
In any event, they dug their own grave, and should now lay in it quietly while the dirt of irrelevance covers them.

It came to them very late
With long arrears to make good,
When the English began to hate.
They were not easily moved,
They were icy-willing to wait
Till every count should be proved,
Ere the English began to hate.
Their voices were even and low,
Their eyes were level and straight.
There was neither sign nor show,
When the English began to hate.
It was not preached to the crowd,
It was not taught by the State.
No man spoke it aloud,
When the English began to hate.
It was not suddenly bred,
It will not swiftly abate,
Through the chill years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date
That the English began to hate.

Yep. First place I saw Monty Python. First place I saw Black Adder, Are You Being Served, Keeping Up Appearances, UXB, and a host of other stuff. They would do lots of BBC's best stuff where I got to see actors such as Patrick Stewart before he was Somebody.

I've dived with sharks around many times. Sometimes they get curious but never threatening. The only time I became anxious of them is when a bunch of hammerhead sharks showed up once. The dive master called the dive and we went back up to the boat. Hammerheads are extremely moody.

There was a hammerhead in the water with us, but sadly I didn't see it. Only a few of the divers saw it, so it must have only came into view for a short time and then swam away.
There's a tiger shark dive that's a much longer tour and much much more expensive. I would do that ....

My biggest concern is that if there is a clean sweep by Democrats of the House, Senate and Presidency in 2028, they will:
1. Make DC and Puerto Rico states to gain a strong majority in the Senate.
2. Open the borders and legalize everyone living in America illegally to cement a permanent majority.
3. Increase the size of the Supreme Court to gain an immediate majority.
This would result in America becoming a permanent one-party state and the end of democracy in any meaningful sense of the word.

Party Committees: As of late September 2026, the six official national and Hill party committees (DNC, DSCC, DCCC, RNC, NRSC, NRCC) raised a combined $1.5 billion.• Democratic Party committees (DNC, DSCC, DCCC) raised $680 million.
• Republican Party committees (RNC, NRSC, NRCC) raised $812 million.
Outside Groups & Super PACs: Outside spending, super PACs, and dark money groups have broken previous midterm records, surpassing $2 billion in super PAC spending and $1 billion in dark money.• Right-leaning or Republican-aligned super PACs and outside groups have held a significant financial advantage, with top groups like the Senate Leadership Fund and individual megadonors (such as Elon Musk) outraising and outpacing Democratic-aligned counterparts (such as the Senate Majority PAC) by roughly a 2-to-1 ratio in major independent expenditure and super PAC tallies.
• Top left-leaning/Democratic super PACs collected around $877 million compared to over $1.6 billion for top right-leaning/GOP-aligned super PACs in leading analyses reported by The NYT

It's full-blown double think.
Plus Democrat language is primed with slogans, and they become second nature to Democrat voters. Those slogans can't contain that much, and so one can easily expect a qualification, but they qualify them ad hoc.

She redid Night before Christmas and put vile words to it. Typical AWFL that turned something nice into something vile and disgusting.
Won't advance the leftist cause one bit but social virtue signalling by leftists are done by tone deaf idiots enmeshed in their hideous bubbles with likeminded dolts. Professing allegiance to evil in public is not the win that a leftist thinks it is and that is due to the existence of social media bubbles.

The GOP refusal to end public broadcasting funding has always baffled me. They never had sufficient budget to be a real force in lobbying, it was never a massive part of the public that consumed any of that media.
They just refused to do it, no atter how horrific and blatant the bias was. I could never understand why. If a Democrat gets into the oval office, I would wager my kidneys that the GOP votes to bring back the funding.

Red Barber's quintessential American voice reading the part with worst of the King of Englands transgression always made me grin.
And, then... sometime in the 2000's some NPR Morning Sedition jerk-hole told me they could no longer in good conscience read such an distressing document.
That was it. Deleted the button on the radio.

Yep. Growing up the people most likely to use the word "tribalism" were leftish. However, I think they have become the most tribal.

"Jane Doe" of Cornell Seven fame is acting out IRL the role of Alex Forrest, the bunny boiler, from "Fatal Attraction".
It is easy to see her, enraged, and speaking out, "I will not be ignored, boys!" when she was disinvited from that frat's Halloween party.

I would 100% agree with you but I do have an example of a French woman that did do personal grooming. Our CEO's admin assistant had taken boudoir photos and printed them at our office on the nice color printer we have. When she left the company, she left the photos behind in a folder. Left no doubt on grooming. She calls herself a True Renaissance Woman.

Quantus seems to be one of the pollsters who does try to get things right.
And they're herding to slight favorite Republican in a deeply Republican state, but still within the margin of error so if Paxton wins by 5 they're still right.

Said she went to xxx's birthday party (first name of my wife). I replied "She passed away last year. Sorry, don't remember you."
She replied back, I'm confused...isn't this yyy's contact? I replied, "well, if it's my wife's aunt yyy, she's passed away too."
She says, "Oh, I'm sorry". I write back, "That's okay. Have a nice day."
Then, tried to befriend me. "You are a funny and kind person...My name is zzz. What's your name?"
I reply, "That's okay, I'm old and sick and don't need anymore friends."
She continued, "I think age is just a number...", keeps trying to "befriend" me. I replied, "No, that's okay. Have a nice day".

Dimensions: Overall: 63 × 66 3/4 in.
Paul Wiesenfeld, 1942-1990, an American realist painter who created comprehensive interior scenes and portraits.
His son wrote, "In my memory I see my father, Paul Wiesenfeld (1942 – 1990), sitting at the edge of one room on a block of wood no more than 20 cm off the floor with a palette in one hand and several brushes in the other and studying intently the interior of another room. This room is in stark contrast to the rest of the apartment with its varying degrees of chaos and dishevelment. It is impeccable, if one overlooks the fine layer of dust, everything in it is there for a purpose, participating in a web of complex visual relationships, set up to create an image of beauty."
Everything in this painting was exactly placed to tell the story. Note the Secrets magazine on the table.
Reportedly, Secrets was a long-running true confession, romance, and narrative pulp magazine (such as the March 1960 and May 1960 issues) that featured first-person relationship stories and dramatic tales.
Interesting, but would pass hanging it.

It's exit polling, and it's the only measure we have despite all the issues with exit polling.
Roughly 5% is pretty standard, and it always goes both ways. There will be crossover from Democrats voting for Paxton. No candidate gets 100% of their own party's vote.

Sure, but my point is that it goes both ways. And they pretty much always cancel each other out. And it's standard behavior we see in every election.
Pollsters asserting 15% of Republicans not voting for Paxton are huffing paint.
The way partisans object to their party's candidate they don't want to vote for is that they don't vote. This is how the "independent" vote shifts most. There are immaterial numbers of people who actually change their party vote every other race.

Pollsters asserting 15% of Republicans not voting for Paxton are huffing paint.
The way partisans object to their party's candidate they don't want to vote for is that they don't vote. This is how the "independent" vote shifts most. There are immaterial numbers of people who actually change their party vote every other race.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison
========
TJM is correctly summarizing decades of research. Partisans just don't vote when they don't like their party's candidate. Sometimes, they vote third party or writein for a race. True independents that do not have a partisan lean are roughly 5-8 percent of the voters, mebbe less nowadays due to party polarization but they are also less likely to vote in midterms.

Smart. The 4-5 seconds of silence affects scammer software which dial multiple phone numbers at the same time to get the 'hit'. Silence means that some other poor sucker got 'hit' rather than you and you did not confirm to the scammers that they got a live number.
Another way, dunno if they still make it, was a fax tone generator used to answer the phone to ward off scammers.

The scuttlebutt of Arkansan inside politicos for a long time during Clinton era of being governor was that Bill was sterile, supposedly from a bad case of mumps as a kid, Webb was the unlucky donor to Killary, and thus Bill could spread his seed broadly without fear of consequences.

AI Overview: Freeland’s firsthand experience negotiating trade relations with the U.S. (specifically the USMCA). It details the shift of long-time allies into adversaries, the impact of sweeping U.S. tariffs, and the rising power of American billionaire oligarchs like Elon Musk compared to Russian oligarchs under Vladimir Putin.

The Morning Report — 10/30 /26
But my first recollection of seeing him was in the visually stunning John Boorman film of the Arthurian legend Excalibur. But Stewart's talents encompassed so many genres and he was terrific in every one. One of his most memorable performances for me was his portrayal of a gay opera star in an episode of Frasier where his romantic advances on the good doctor are totally misinterpreted by Frasier as merely a budding friendship. As a huge fan of the series in general that episode is in my top 5 or so. Hilarious. In any case, thanks for the memories and RIP. And now on to the news of the day which as we all know is generally chock full o' gloom and doom and straight up insanity. And with the midterm elections appropriately enough just a couple of days past Halloween coming up tomorrow, we have this trick being perpetrated on the good folk of Alaska.
Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy (R) revealed more about “Decoy Dan” J. Sullivan, including that he wanted to fake his middle initial. Incumbent Alaska Sen. Dan Sullivan (R) has the middle name Scott. So the ballot lists him as Dan S. Sullivan. “Decoy Dan” attempted to use S as his middle initial instead of J. . . . . .Remember, the Alaska Board of Elections kicked “Decoy Dan” off the ballot over the summer because officials could tell he is a fake. The Alaska Supreme Court put him back on the ballot. But despite the evidence discovered during that investigation, Dunleavy announced a new investigation into whether members of Democrat Mary Peltola’s Senate campaign should face charges for possible election manipulation regarding “Decoy Dan.”
Ah yes, the courts. Where would we be were it not for our Judiciary? Probably a much freer and more prosperous society, that's not on the brink of national suicide. But hey, why exaggerate, eh?!
The Wisconsin Supreme Court opened an investigation into a judge who helped an illegal immigrant evade capture by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), a probe that could lead to her disbarment, according to a letter issued by the court and obtained by The Daily Wire... “I am pleased to find out that the Supreme Court of Wisconsin has taken the step to investigate Hannah Dugan as a result of CASA’s grievance. Not only did her actions make her unfit to be a judge, but they also call into question her fitness as an attorney,” Schube said in a statement shared with The Daily Wire.Considering the Wisconsin Supreme Court is entirely hardcore Leftist and come this Tuesday there is a chance that this David Crowley commie criminal might very well be the next governor and turn us into the Fromunda Cheese state, I have serious doubts that this Dugan scum will face more than the teensiest of wrist slaps, if that. Elsewhere, no my inclusion of RFK's remarks vis a vis Islam in the lead is no mistake. I highlight it not because of its veracity but that someone high up and in the public eye has the stones to state it loudly and plainly. Good for him for doing so, and as such opening himself up for rhetorical and real slings arrows bullets and suicide Islamikaze belts.
Democrat media cronies and supporters are frothing at the mouth and fighting back hard, pulling out their tired old smears of “racist.” Even the World Socialist website fulminated against “Trump and Kennedy’s racist tirades against Muslims and Arabs.”Well you do indeed take the most flak when you're directly over the target. Sadly we go from a hero to an abject piece of dog-turd that's less than a zero!
On the 25th anniversary of the worst attack on America since Pearl Harbor, I watched the somber recollections without seeing the same emotion I have felt since that day -- absolute fury. I’m not sure what made President George Bush say that Islam is a religion of peace on 9/11, but he certainly did not know what he was talking about. Islam has never been a religion of peace. It was founded in violence and continues to this day to wage war against perceived “infidels.” Instead of recognizing the true meaning behind the attack, many community leaders seemed to bend over backward to placate the Muslim community. After 9/11, more than 300 mosques were added in various states, and school boards were adding foot-washing stations and other Muslim accommodations. Here in New York City, Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who was elected to that position shortly after the attack, had no problem allowing a Muslim community center to be located near Ground Zero. While I thought the proposed Arab school was a good idea, did it have to be headed by a radical Islamist connected to the Muslim Brotherhood?Meh look who's Mayor of NYC now! Or for that matter, Pope!!
Just seven months ago Pope Leo XIV declared in a Palm Sunday homily that God “does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war, but rejects them.” I wrote then that this was not only demonstrably and biblically false, but the wrong message to be sending in a climate of intensifying persecution of Christians and a war being waged against Christendom by the unholy Red-Green alliance. Apparently Leo ignored me, because earlier this week, in a video message to an interfaith gathering of religious leaders, the American Pope stated, “There is no such thing as a holy war,” adding, “Only peace is holy.”
And on these and all the other links du jour, I nevertheless bid you all to have a great weekend, a safe and fun Halloween if you are partaking of any events and as always please get out and VOTE EARLY and OFTEN!!!

There are 10 conditions under which God doesn't hear prayers:
• Cherished or unrepented sin
• Deliberate refusal to obey God
• Hypocrisy and false worship
• Prayers motivated by selfish desires (so much for Name it And Claim it "prayers")
• Lack of faith
• Refusal to forgive others
• Mistreatment of one's spouse
• Whoever "closes their ear to the poor"
• Idolatry
• Persistent rebellion and hardness of heart.
I'm not seeing War in here. The Pope needs to explain why war-makers like David, Joshua and Gideon worked out strategery with God in terms of exacting war.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I saw a vid the other day on EweToob where Parliament in UK borrowed money in 1833 to pay off slaveholders for the loss of their "property" due to the abolishment of slavery there...that bill was not fully paid back until 2015...
So the English were paying taxes to pay reparations to slaveholders for over 180 years...

appellee Sullivan as a candidate for United States Senator on the primary election ballot
is AFFIRMED. This matter is remanded for the Division of Elections to determine, in
the first instance, how appellee Sullivan shall be listed as a candidate within the confines
of existing Alaska ballot design law.
A full opinion will be issued at a later date.

Next time this comes around step off the merry go round. Don't try to assess what is coming, there are too many lies to do so. Plus the election itself will be full of lies.
Just torturing yourself by ignoring those two things. Like deciding to pan for gold in a pile of shit knowing that a liar told you the gold was there. The whole thing is intentionally obscured before and after the event.
It's nerve wracking because you have to wait for the outcome but if you just stick to waiting patiently rather than trying to figure it out, you will deal with it a lot easier. At least your brain will know it's just a waiting game.

Growing up in the blood red part of Colorado, I grew accustomed to Democrat campaigners at the stoplight in our town being constantly berated by passers-by. People would even chuck trash at them. I always laughed at this, because fuck them.
Where I live now, in another blood red place, nobody really bothers them.
It's a big cultural difference.
In Colorado, they were so hated because their giant tumor-city in the middle of the State ran everything and did so with sneering contempt for everyone else.
Here, they are an angry but powerless minority and that won't be changing any time soon. So everyone just drives past them rolling their eyes. I love it.
Once Democrats are powerful enough to anger the normies, you already have a problem.

China is the primary backer of Neville Roy Singham. In fact he’s mainly just a proxy for the CCP. He’s one of the primary financial backers of the DSA which is taking over the dying Democrat party.
He also was the biggest financial backers of the BLM riots, and if course he financed the group his wife founded, Code Pink.
It’s gotten common to rail about George Soros - of course he’s evil. But these days Singham is far more active, and far more destructive.

In Russia, you live essentially at the whim of the government. If you have to be disposed of, that's it. Individual families may care about their sons and daughters, but the Tsarist, Communist and Putinist governments don't.
Helps explain the tolerance for monstrous casualties in war. It also helps explain why in recent hostage situations (Moscow theater, Beslan school), there was such a death toll among the hostages. Because the forces storming the building were set on killing the terrorists, not saving the hostages. Tough luck for you if you were in the way.

I remember her stopping the bus once because somebody lit a cigarette in the way back. She walked back and pointed to the kid and said in her thick accent, "Enjoy! And kill yourself!"
Also remember her doing a quick knock on the door in the English class I was in, walking across the front of the room by the teacher, opening a window, and jumping, stepping out on the roof to look at something out there. A real character, I would guess Russian by her accent.

And then there's his backstory as a youth selling out fellow Jews to the Nazis.

I can't get agitated either. I would rather have a political party behind me that's motivated and aligned with my values, but no such thing exists.
People in general are not uncomfortable enough to demand political change. Some of us got motivated and voted for Trump multiple times. But until we're truly uncomfortable, miserable and desperate... not a damn thing's going to change.
The left can whip up its base with most any horseshit. The rest of us are not quite that simplistic.

Russia already won, Ukraine is never getting the land it lost back (minor adjustments at village level not withstanding), everything else now is just needless slaughter, European intransigence, and waste. Ukraine lost half its population since 2022, it was 40M people, now it is in the 20s. Dead, wounded, cripples. No economy to speak of, no port to move the remaining grain and a few other exports, and no functioning government.

40% of 65+ eligible voters have voted
8% of under 29s have voted
(similar numbers for the under 50 sets - only 50-64 is more, and they are still less than half the 65+ by their age group registration)...
I guess we'll see how liberal the older age group has gone this election, since they may end up as almost 50% of the electoral group.

I think lot of Russian psychology can be explained by the fact that, after the fall of Byzantium, they were the only remaining independent Orthodox state (well, more or less independent -- still technically a vassal of the Tatars, but that yoke was much lighter than in the past, and would go away entirely in 1480). There was no other country that shared their theology, and the general worldview that went with it. They were alone, and felt it.

That’s what I mean when I think it’s all or nothing. If sc and Kansas are truly competitive then the blue wave is real and spectacular. But if these end up being easy wins then everything ends up being an easy win as well. Texas, Maine, Alaska.
It’s going to be all or nothing for one side, no squeakers.
Also Minnesota is always “close” until Election Day when it isn’t. It’s the Republican version of turn Texas blue.

From above, "Work details of more than 41,000 DHS staff hacked, published online."
From the BB article, "The data also contained the names of dozens of the agency’s operations, including undercover missions, which agents were in charge or worked on them, and the type and provider of tech utilized, with Cellbrite and Palantir mentioned by name."
Interesting the mentioning by names and the timing.
Palantir was co-founded by Peter Thiel. It has been a critical software contractor for the U.S. government for 21 years, heavily anchoring federal operations since 2005. It's a primary software contractor for the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD).
UK Guardian, 22 Sep 2025, 'Documents offer rare insight on Ice’s close relationship with Palantir' For years, little was known about the multibillion-dollar company that handles data for the US immigration enforcement agency. Now, a cache of emails, training documents and reports sheds light on how Palantir helps Ice with investigations and on-the-ground enforcement
The documents, noted above, spanned the period of 2014 to 2022.
Posted by: L - No nic... at October 30, 2026 09:58 AM (NFX2v)
Reportedly, it has been heavily utilized by U.S. law enforcement and federal agencies for approximately 19 years, first becoming a visible staple in Federal tech stacks around 2007.
It's use goes well beyond government to private sector corporations, non-profits and also for humanitarian causes.
>The Intercept, February 8, 2022, 'Use of Controversial Phone Cracking Tool is Spreading Across Federal Government' Cellebrite's extensive Federal sales come as another Israeli phone spying firm, NSO Group, falls under federal sanctions.
This data hacking isn't a "Trump issue" but an issue involving the whole of our government beyond ICE, beyond DHS, and our political parties should be alarmed at the ongoing, frequent hacks & together commit to stopping them.
Give our European 'partners' a very strong warning, followed by appropriate consequences, too.

People won't lose their Privacy and Freedom until we demand they take it from us, and charge for the benefit; that's the point.

Top Story
- The internet may or may not be on fire again and there's not enough information available to determine which: There's a severity 9.8 flaw in the Linux kernel's networking stack which may (or may not) give everyone on the planet root access to every server. (The Hacker News)
The cheerily blasé Anthropic post on the subject indicates that it may be connected specifically to multipath TCP rather than the ordinary variety which may be why East German sources only score it as a 5.9. I just ran around scanning my servers for multipath TCP listeners and that came up clean, but whether that means I am actually safe remains unknown.
And if you're running Ubuntu or RedHat Linux, there is no patch out yet, so all you can really do is panic. Or not panic; RedHat rates it at 5.9, and Amazon who do have a patch out for their home brand Linux rate it at 7.0.
Tech News
- Reddit is getting a "For You" feed. (The Verge)
Reddit but somehow worse.
- Speaking of Reddit but somehow worse the site will now require you to log in to read anything. (The Verge)
There has never been a better opportunity for Digg to return.
- Please let Wired die. (Wired) (archive site)
You know it's the right thing to do.
- Anthropic only spends one third of its money directly on providing services to customers. (Tom's Hardware)
The other two thirds is spent on generating maliciously unhelpful bug reports involving the Linux networking stack.
Oops, wrong song.

57 degrees out, and the sky is clear for one more day.
After taking the Volvo in for the new windshield, and being told that the new windshield has disappeared and the need to reschedule we re-stained the back yard fence that I power-washed last week.
Time for a short PSA about handheld paint sprayers.
Harbor Freight sells this nifty little unit that holds 48 ounces of stain at a whack. And it just works. Less than four hours to do the actual spraying, and the results are better than I expected.

"I bookmarked your link about the good and bad modem/routers and will check it when the Spectrum box arrives, which could be tomorrow. "
There you go. Intel Puma 5 and 6 are proven bad eggs. I had three in a row, they were absolute turds, and my provider (at the time) had NOTHING else that didn't have that chipset. The symptoms I'd experience: 50 to 60 percent packet loss that would just show up somewhere between 24 and 36 hours since the last time the modem was power-cycled.
The solution was to:
a) Live with power cycling the modem once every 24 hours
b) Use a different modem we owned that had a Broadcom chipset, and go with the provider it came from.
Our family chose (b) and it has worked out marvelously. We're definitely not as fast as the 1 gig connections, but the firewall is 100Mbps, so whatever. I don't care, it works, it's reliable, and THAT is what is king above speed for us.

I can still read Reddit without issue (without an account there.) Maybe it's my configuration, maybe it's Reddit doing the "lockout without an account" in a specific geographic area, say the United States (I'm in Canada.) If the latter, they'll likely extend that to "worldwide" shortly and then I'll be locked out unless I find a reflector that lets me read (sort of like Nitter to X.)

I met Patrick Stewart before he was PATRICK STEWART. It was 1980 and he and his then-wife were giving lectures around CSUN, where I was a theater student. I had a lot of free time that day, so I followed him around from venue to venue. At the last venue, a seminar room, we found it was locked and someone had to get the key. So he and I were sitting on the hallway floor waiting, and he asked me if I was an actor. I shrugged and said, "Such as I am.". He smiled and said, " Such as any of us are."

At the end of his last episode, Sejanus has been revealed as plotting against Tiberius and has been arrested. As he is about to be marched off to execution, Stewart's Sejanus gives a little smile, as if thinking, "Well, it was a good run and I gave it all I had."

It is a year. But they were upfront about it. The rep told me I can call when I get the renewal notice, and they may have new packages then. I don't plan to be living here by that time anyway.
Cox started me at $75 in 2020, and somehow in only six years it's crept up to $110. There were no alternatives -- Starlink wasn't available at my location until recently -- so I had to go with it.

It was not really a sex scene per se, Fen. He and the actress are on a bed and mostly clothed. It's what they are talking about to excite each other that forms the sensuality.
I, Claudius was filmed on a shoestring, as a lot of BBC productions were. So the directors had to get creative and use a lot of closeups and two-shots, focusing on the actors. It worked so well that other series followed suit.
To this day I picture the actors who played Livia, Tiberius, Claudius, and Sejanus when I read about that period of Roman history. Brian Blessed's Augustus too, but as an older man, not as the youth Octavian whom no one around Caesar and Antony took seriously (to their detriment).

Oh, how I hate those things. We have a guy in our neighborhood with half a humongous skeleton looking like it's crawling out of the ground. It's nearly 1/3 the size of his house. Down the road is another house with about 4 or 5 skeletons that, I swear, are 16 ft tall. It looks abominable. I don't mind some cute Halloween decor, but there's a lot of unappealing, kinda demonic-looking stuff out in front of people's houses now...along with the gigantic skeletons. It's a bit ridiculous.

This particular span is only forty years old. The older one, which used to be the only bridge, dates to 1959.
The state did, however, improve and widen the older bridge upriver, which dates to the 1930s. It's a superhighway now, as it should always have been. No doubt with the jams on the newer bridge, that one will often be clogged too as people divert to it.

Wonder what our resident pinball junkie garrett thinks of this 10 Greatest '80s Pinball Machines, Ranked
The 1980s marked an exciting period for games and pinball, as manufacturers experimented with new gameplay mechanics, increasingly elaborate playfields, and creative themes that gave each machine its own personality. From multiball mayhem to unusual playfield designs, the decade delivered plenty of machines that challenged players to sharpen their reflexes and chase increasingly high scores. Ranking the greatest pinball machines of the '80s means looking beyond flashy artwork and memorable themes to consider gameplay, mechanical innovation, and lasting influence on the hobby. Whether a machine changed how people played pinball or simply delivered an unforgettable arcade experience, these 10 classics represent some of the best the decade had to offer.You here tonight, garrett??

Queers that want to socialize in a queer environment because they hate baseball and America (and probably Trump) and want to gloat about their intolerance and use it to "virtue" signal how wonderful they are... well, if they found a spot I hope it didn't close down because it catered to only an incredibly small niche of insane clients.
And someone already started a GoFundMe (or whichever flavor of that) for RedBaron man. (I already buy Red Baron pizzas almost exclusively, so I can't buycott.)
(I could have been first, but I read the content.)

Leadville has the mining museum. Although the city was probably better back when YD was living in the state and everything wasn't as publicly gay. When I went, the main street was as publicly gay as every other mountain town main street.

I'm still praying for you.
Also, today, I got a pleasant email telling me a job I recently applied for was filled by someone else.
Well, I've been in my new job for two months now, so I asked myself, "Recent?" I searched through my emails for something about when I submitted for that job.
It was at the end of July. A month before I started my new job. THREE MONTHS ago I submitted for that, and they just now said, "Oh, hey, we picked someone else, thanks for your time." I applied for, was interviewed for, pre-screened for (I-9, checking my clearance), started work, and am 4 paychecks into a job, between my application and my rejection for that other job.
So keep your head up, man!

I was in a store today and heard that Nick Gilder song, for the first time in at least two decades.
It got me remembering when I first heard it when I was a kid: Certain it was a chick singing it. Then I saw a pic of Nick, and was pretty sure he was a chick.
then I recalled our alternate lyrics:
Fat fuck in the city
Poppin' zits and lookin' shitty
Oh, and I friggin' loathe that song.

From what I gathered passing through on a busy day, the 'influencer' said he took money from the guy through his phone.
He now has an extra $300,000 bucks. Cool. Dude shouldn't have to put up with crap lie that. I hope the influencer channel dies.

"Bars" for MN is absolutely correct.
It's also the best choice, because, like, 20 people can bring "bars" and you won't have two alike. It's like saying "cookies."

Funny you should ask.
I'm still the underdog here in this race. That said, my opponent finally responded to all the Tax My People signs I've had put up all over the district by posting a video saying my accusation was 'misinformation', even though she said it on tape. What's better is that she started the video with her standing...in front of one of my signs(!!). Then her people started taking all of my signs from front yards in the district. Then her people posted that I'm anti-gay, anti etc etc. (my response would be that if that were the case, the town DEI group that I co-chair would have no members because they would have all resigned, but still). The DEI group is a long story, BTW.
TL;DR - I'm definitely getting in their OODA loop. I'm focusing on parts of the district that she's not showing up in, so I think I'm making a good impression. I just came from a gathering at a local country club, and that went very well. While they try to make me look like a MAGA Trumper (guilty, but that's not how I'm running my race), I'm hitting her with silly quotes she's recently said -cont-

Glorious top photo and song by Mark Knopfler. Man, he is Celtic at times. It's in the blood of my ancestors to me. I do wish I had chosen to play the violin vs the piano. My aunt had a friend who taught violin at a college and was in the symphony. A regret in life, which are thankfully few.
The photo of the orange tipped aspens...that's their color at the very top of some mountains and we know fall has arrived with that color. The golds are far more common but no less gorgeous. Beautiful trees waiting for snow.
Question: The Red Baron guy, and I'm glad he's going to be ok...how did that punk steal $10 from him? I watched it twice. Felt really badly for him.

...and taxes she's raised and promises she hasn't kept. I've got more coming out tomorrow and Saturday. My third mailer just hit, and that should get Weston to give me some serious consideration on Tuesday. My race will be won or lost in Weston. Meanwhile, she and her team are focused on getting their state senate candidate over the line, so she's occupied in my town, where most of the votes *aren't*.
The next four or five days will be the hardest. If Fazio does better than expected, his coattails should help me - even if he ultimately doesn't win as CT governor. I'd say my chances now are about 50-50. Now I need to make lots and lots of phone calls to get people to the polls on Tuesday, as the people who want to early vote have probably done so already. Most Republicans will wait until Election Day to cast ballots. Time to pray.

I might not go that far on everything, but I will say...
A "tap" pay device can grab your card info from further away than you think; keep your card behind an RFID blocker until it's time to pay, and put it back promptly after.
The same goes for your phones NFC and Bluetooth. Unless you are actively using the Bluetooth for headphones or something, turn it off. And lock it down if you do need it on.
And, in general, keep your head on a swivel and know where your phone and wallet (and sidearm, if appropriate) are at all times.
RFID blocking cards and sleeves can be found on Amazon and at other sellers.

No fear! Cowboy cookies are chocolate chip/oatmeal/pecan/pretzel/dried fruit of choice cookies, and possum pie is that chocolate pudding/cream cheese/graham cracker/whipped cream layer dessert. The former was kitchen sink cookies to me, while the latter was simply chocolate layer dessert. It's like Hollywood remaking movies - but with food. Each generation changes the name or the actors or the ingredients slightly, making a whole new dish!

Four Marxists are on a boat as a storm rolls in. The first Marxist says, "I'm not afraid. We have nothing to lose but our chains. I will live to see our Great Revolution come to be!" Second Marxist says, "Comrade, I believe in Equity and Diversity even more than you. I will outlive you and the Capitalist pigs!" The third Marxist says, "Comrades, the power of the people can never be defeated. I will outlive you both and celebrate our Great Revolution each year!"
Just as the fourth Marxist begins to speak, a huge wave capsizes the boat and all four drown.

We're both LGBTQ and would really like a place where we could feel safe and not have to deal with the usual cishet energy or usual Christian-nationalism vibe that tends to come with baseball around here.
Hey shit birds, I hope that you were not able to have your petty and bitchy wish fulfilled and instead you wound up in a raucous pub where the game's volume was turned up to eleven and boisterous fans were in your face all through your meal. Bonus points if one of them threw up all over you and your meal.
You see those emboldened words up there? Those noisome turds are the contributions from you and yours to the culture and you simply CANNOT SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT THEM. You are the Canada Geese of our times. You waddle about, hocking your linguistic loogies throughout our public discourse, and leave your very own greasy green turds of restricted speech and meddlesome rules throughout our physical and cultural worlds.
You are the unwelcome guests here, not the other way around. Find yourselves a place more suited to your refined sensibilities. I hear that Gaza is nice this time of year and its aerial views are stunning for the likes of you.

They do with me. I've been getting spam for something like 18 months or more, sometimes 5+ a day, about some loan application I supposedly made (but didn't). They always leave a message, because it's a pre-recorded AI script. Fortunately my voice mail (on my cell) turns a voicemail into a text and sends it to me (sometimes with hilarious typos) immediately. A quick glance tells me whether I should call back. Very few require it.
(Oh, and all of those spammers are from separate phone numbers. I don't think I've gotten a repeat yet, even with the 8xx numbers. Just one and gone on to another number - with the same script, an hour apart.)

Uranium was considered a waste product, mostly. Was found to make a nice yellow glaze for pottery, but once Radium was discovered, that took center stage. With mostly very, very tragic results.
By some strange geological quirk, the Shinkolobwe mine in the Congo has the richest concentration ever found. About 60% uranium ores were found. In most places, if you find 1% it was considered profitable to mine. Several thousand tons of the Shinkolobwe ore were stored in NYC at a warehouse long before anyone thought much about making bombs, Once the war department realized they needed it, they went looking for the owner. “I was wondering when you’d show up”.
After the war, the AEC offered high prices for ore in the U.S. plus a $10k bonus for new mines, setting off a uranium exploration bonanza in the 4 Corners region of the Colorado Plateau. Charlie Steen was one such beneficiary. You can still see his house at the north end of Moab, currently the Sunset Grill on the side of a cliff.
The Soviets took a completely different tack, using slave laborers in gulags. Wtetched conditions.

My friend and I were making our way towards the exit and decided we would go sit behind home plate in the TV seats and watch a couple outs. We weren't there 5 minutes and some nasty-faced usher came down and said we leave now or I'm getting the King county sheriff's. The guy in front of us said these guys are my friends and he whipped out seven season tickets. So we went and sat with him.
Minutes later three King county Sheriff showed up and gave us the choice of going to jail or to leave the stadium. It was the only time I've been physically perp walked out of a place by the cops and then tossed on to the sidewalk.

I've never understood the employers' thinking, where it's easier to get a job when you have one already. Sure, it shows you have drive and persistence, but if you're recently out of work, you can start *tomorrow*! None of that "giving two weeks' notice."
Drive and persistence are clearly something you have in spades. Keep it up!

I dunno about that. I suspect that elite baseball players are genetic freaks just like elite basketball and football players, just in ways that are not as outwardly obvious.

My late uncle, a former pitcher for the Yankees (and others) would say that even among ball players, Ted Williams was a freak of nature. He captured and mentally stored all aspects of every pitch he was ever thrown. Wind, sunlight, weather, how old the ball itself was, the pitch, who was catching, the health of the pitcher, age, etc. EVERYTHING.
Just like pro golfers can recall every hole they've played, Williams could do that regarding every pitch.

Exactly. I don't think they are freaks, they are just phenomenal athletes.
When I was in high school we did a lot of dual sport scheduling, probably to help offset the costs. My high school baseball team traveled a lot with our cross country team. Sometimes there would be multiple schools playing in a tournament over a weekend.
I will never forget one time we had a multiple school tournament weekend and the buzz was all about this one kid who was supposed to be really good at cross country. We were like, who gives a shit, like being really good at jerking off.
Turns out he was really, really good at running long distance. He beat everyone and then sat in the stands to cheer on his high school baseball team before the 2nd place finisher even came out of the woods.

I've *never* understood how lemons became so popular. IF there was a "vote one off the island" moment, I'd vote lemon off the island over lime. There's very little that lemon makes better. And with most dishes, there's no reason to involve lemon or lime.

"Hey, I think it’s easy for guys to hit .300 and stay in the big leagues. Hit .200 and try to stick around as long as I did; I think it’s a much greater accomplishment."
___________
Actually, Uecker played during a time when pitchers dominated and batting averages were low across the board. Also, a team often trades batting average for defensive skills in its middle infielders. Martin Maldonado had a 12-year career despite batting .203 because he was an excellent handler of pitchers.

Re plutonium. Pu-244 has a half-life of around 81 million years, long enough to be primordial. That is, it was present in the material that formed the solar system, and should still be in here in some small amounts, but it's current a little below the threshold of detection.
They've found its decay signature in meteorites, confirming it was present primordially. They have discovered some relatively high concentrations of it in Pacific seafloor samples, and it's origin is interstellar, and the age is about 100 million years. 100 million years ago, the solar system passed through some dust cloud containing it.
Pu-244 is about the heaviest element that can last enough to stick around. Heavier elements can be produced by astrophysical processes, but their half-lives are so small, they don't last long.

My sister is an emergency room nurse and likes to tell stories about one of her coworkers who always has a smart answer ready for any situation.
A notorious problem in the ER is people who come in for things that are not actually emergencies and then complain when they're put at a low priority.
During a very busy day, this nurse is hurrying through the waiting room and is stopped by a man.
Man: "Hello, nurse? This is taking too long! I've been waiting for almost two hours!"
Nurse: "Congratulations! Good for you!"
Man: "What's that supposed to mean?"
Nurse: It means you're not in danger of dying any time soon. See you in another couple of hours!"

These are the same assholes that don't pull over for an ambulance with lights and siren.
I went to the ER this summer, in an ambulance, because I split my head open in a fall and really needed someone else to drive while I bled. I specifically asked to not use the siren, because it wasn't going to get worse, and why piss off all the neighbors if I don't have to?
But if an ambulance has sirens and lights, get the fuck off the road. Seconds matter.

I can't make a decent crust to save my life. My sister laughs at me, but she can't make bread worth a damn.
So I make cobblers and crisps, and wet bottomed Shoo fly pies.
I will make a rough pastry crust when I make a pot-pie, but a crust isn't as important, and I have the dodge of putting anise flavored rum when I try to make a fruit pie, but they always seem to turn out with the texture of butter and anise flavored sand.

I got the following tip from Cooks Illustrated.
Replace the cold water with frozen vodka. Much less water, and it's excess water you want to avoid in piecrust. I can use 7+ tbsp for a double crust. Try it sometime and tell me what you think.
I haven't had a shoofly pie in decades.

I was working at a rent house by myself a few years back when a ladder collapsed under me and I fell about 8 feet to the floor. Laying on my back, I checked my fingers and limbs and was relieved that everything worked - but my hair felt wet and a found that my head was resting in a big puddle of blood.
Didn’t realize it at the time but I learned that a nail sticking out of the wall had ripped my scalp on the way down, so it was a bloody mess but my head wasn’t cracked open.
Anyway I had to get home (about 10 minutes away) to see if I needed a hospital and time was of the essence, so I remember how surreal it was to be driving with one hand while with the other i had a towel and was applying pressure to cut down in the bleeding from my head.
I didn’t get stitches after all. I probably still got a scar there but it’s under my hair so who cares.

What's wrong with Nebraska? Y'all don't allow posts long enough to list them. I will note that we moved to Hastings, Nebraska in early 1968. As in during lunar New Years. Called Tet in Vietnam, and it was . . . Offensive. In the high school there they had a special, mandatory, pep rally to dedicate one day a week in PE classes as Vietnam Day to "toughen you up to go kill Cong". The fact that I was a straight-A student whose career desire was to be a naval officer did not matter. I am Chinese in ancestry, and y'all cannot tell us slant-eyes apart. A bunch of these cornhuskers decided that I was VC.
The first [and far from the last] time I had to regularly carry a gun was in high school in Nebraska. After I convinced a bunch of them that 7 fewer would reach me than started out, the attacks and threats stopped.

I miss him as well as a couple of times he had me near hysterical with laughter.
Which I could use right now as my mother is not doing well in MS & coming home from rehab next week. I am weighing flying for a few days. Not that I can do anything to help at this point (she has full time sitters).
Will weigh this after the midterms & hope she perks up a bit. Apparently the food stinks, she told my brother today. I'm sure she's exhausted at 95yrs old having to deal with all this (she had a repair of a lumbar vertebrae with glue).
I saw her mother do this same downward spiral at 95 like her & die promptly the day she turned 96yrs a month later. Mother will be 96 in early December. It's like a really bad rerun. Both were lucid and bossy.
I need to get it together after my stress-induced (from all this and a husband's MRI) insomnia illnesses.
So miklos needs to come back for us all, but especially for me and speak fake German in his nic.

Thank you, sweetie.
Living to be this old, I'm seeing with my grandmothers (both 90 and 96) and now Mama is both a blessing and not so good. She's outlived all of her peers, and family of her youth, my father and one brother. Only in back pain for six weeks
On the plus side she's met her greatgrandchildren, something I doubt I will do as they are 8,5 and 1yrs old. She's seen her children and grandsons (our boys) thrive and marry happily. She lived totally independently and sharp til almost 96yrs, computer savvy, etc, and is much beloved. My prayer in God's will is she goes to heaven in her sleep without pain, fear or suffering. I've prayed this for a few years when she was healthy.
So, yeah, she could use some prayers as could her family. I hesistate to ask when others are going through so much worse than this. We'll be fine and she has a very strong faith. She taught me that all will be well.
Need to get some hopeful sleep! My motto for six weeks!

You are a kind soul Reforger. We went through the same almost 20 yrs ago.
Neighbor girls played w/ stray cat. Named her Butterscotch as they were eating butterscotch cookies the day she appeared.
Of course she had kittens in the neighbor's woodpile. We had to take them in, it was fall and they needed protection.
Butterscotch moved them a couple of times in the house but we eventually got them settled in a box in the dining room.
Found homes for all the kittens, kept Butterscotch and she ruled the roost when we got dogs again. We just lost Butterscotch last month at the age of 19. RIP our accidental cat.

Not that.. hubby has issues with chewing & swallowing, but doesn't need anything pureed. They used to have steamed/ formerly frozen veggies on the side (which taste much better than canned!) but now? Canned cheap crap.
They serve mostly the cheap, starchy, cheap carb crap-- did I mention cheap? Crap that doesn't cost them much.
Something changed since mid-summer. Many regular employees now gone, fewer replacements. The meal menus went from 'meh' to garbage at the same time.

Christy Blinky, very similar situation although Mama wasn't in as much pain. Her quality of life was pretty good up to 96. A few months after her birthday she was in the hospital, then institutionalized for a month or so. Thank God we got her home for the last two. I guess you could say that she died in her sleep, because with the morphine and all, she wasn't quite conscious.

Can't help that billions in "health care funding" are being wired to Somalia.
Even with private insurance, the ripple effect makes a big difference.
I know that the health care system I use has recently had to seek funding to pay for their "nurse line"... a deal where a nurse calls you after you've been discharged from the hospital just to make sure you're still breathing and answer any questions that have come up. Apparently that's been unfunded until now. Because of course it isn't. Because it's something that's actually useful and serves a legitimate healthcare purpose.

Even other shithole countries usually have SOME redeeming features. Iran and Iraq have some cool art and lots of interesting historical sites. Mexico has good food. Hell, even Ethiopia has ancient monasteries with some of the oldest Christian texts known.

I was sad when Limbaugh died. But in his case, his listeners at least "knew" him, listening to him daily for decades, along for his ride through his triumphs and struggles. And, he led a political movement that affected all of them personally. So it was kind of like losing a "friend."
But, I'll never understand the mass outpouring of grief for celebrities, as a general rule. These aren't people who people actually know - even in a "parasocial" way. They only know the characters they played on TV.

Thanks, Miley. I know about your mother and prayed for you all.
Mine is still mentally normal from what I can tell, her body is just not going to get stronger,no matter the OT and PT care post procedure.
I know, too, these weeks have taken a toll on her. Once she's home I hope she'll adjust to her new normal after days of rest.
As of today my brother reports she's got a real life soap opera at night to entertain her. A bossy sitter is bossing the acute rehab staff around. Home Tuesday and she will have sitters 24/7 the rest of her life.
My brother lives 1/4mi down the road on the farm and sees her daily. I live 1000mi away and she tells me to stay home (I'm a bossy nurse, but would not be in this case). I'll go as soon as needed.

Beaver - national animal of Canada?
Yes! The beaver is Canada's official national animal and one of its most recognizable symbols.
It was officially designated a national symbol on March 24, 1975, through the National Symbol of Canada Act.
The North American beaver (Castor canadensis) has been important to Canadian history, particularly through the fur trade.
And here's an interesting distinction: Canada has two official national symbols commonly associated with its identity—the beaver as its national animal and the maple leaf as its national floral emblem.

This is a bit different. Earlier post did not claim Sylvia admitted making the leaks. Axios is claiming he did. Apparently DoW procedures during polygraph require the subject to make an admission before they technically fail. Sylvia failed three times apparently and this means leaks to two reporters--one of which is supposedly Jenn Griffin of Faux News who hates Hegseth and Trump with a thousand burning suns passion.

Equal odds of happening. That shut up an anxiety part of my brain pretty effectively.

Mom, as a self proclaimed activist is probably what created this disgusting mess of a daughter's thinking. And it would serve her right that her daughter is deported to the tender mercies of Lula's Brazil. Hope she follows with hubbie too.

I took Elvis up to see my mom at the retirement home yesterday. The wheelchair army came out in force once they heard Elvis was in the house. Next couple of hours was Elvis getting loved up by the residents and staff.
I was asked over and over "When is Elvis coming back?".
Apparently, I have graduated to my dog's chauffeur. A mans got to know his limitations.

My friends' cat Snowflake has this as her base of operations.
They have a full house of kids. I have a big house she's welcome in. And she and Ralphy are friends.
Do you get flea protection for the cats? I do for Snowflake since she stays here. Just the Advantage stuff. If they're going outside.
Snowflake waits until my sleep cycle is over and I'm kind of awake and she'll jump from the chair to the bed, purr and let me know she wants to go out. It's really cute. Ralphy continues to sleep.

There is a "wilderness area" up in the Poconos, designated as the Thunder Swamp, with a series of hiking trails around and within it. It was really a lovely place. Our troop had hiked there two different times over the span from 2000 to 2009. One spot, near to a stream, was a perfect place to camp out overnight. We used it on both trips.
About a decade ago we returned for another camping weekend, but now beavers had dammed that stream. A vast area, including our idyllic camping site, was under water. We had to settle. We've not been back there since.

It's very true. Elvis went and sat with one elderly lady for a while. She suffers from dementia. She's very anxious and sad. But she got noticeably calmer and communicative just by petting Elvis for a few minutes. Told me all about her Dalmatian she probably had decades ago.
Elvis isn't a service dog, just a goofy mutt who is very gentle. It's honestly fun for me. Some lovely people with lots of stories to tell. People don't stop being people just cause they get old and infirm.

Many, many years ago, Her Majesty took Johnny to visit an old-time famous Borzoi breeder who was in a nursing home. His wife was dead and he was just waiting to die too.
When he saw Gentleman John he burst into tears, hugged him and wouldn't let go; I'm sure Johnny behaved with his usual aplomb. Russ took Johnny around to show the other residents the kind of dog he once had. And so for a short time, his purpose and love returned.

I'll bring her a Tim's muffin and timbits for her to give to Ralphy. My ONLY connection is she was Mom's friend, who I knew. I try to go as much as I can, but I'm still rebuilding.
And Ralphy, almost 106.5 in dog years. We celebrate every morning when he wakes up.

She raised horses, dogs and a variety of other critters and one half bubble off center son. I started bringing Elvis because I know how much she loves animals and it turns out many people do.

So I did exit the house today and went grocery shopping. I'm stocked until January. I'll just need to get milk for coffee, bananas and oranges once in a while. There's a gas station where the guy gets local greenhouse produce, most of the time great quality and cheaper than the stores aside from bananas.
Other than that, I can work on my projects.
So Walmart and NoFrills in Canada so you can compare. I just like letting all of you know. And I'm thrifty. BUT I spent over $300 at Walmart today and over $200 at NoFrills.
Of course, I haven't been big grocery shopping for about 6 weeks. Projects. - just wait.
And I'm still in the habit of being prepared for zombie apocalypse. Prices below if you want to see what the greener pastures are like.

Sunrise time is a function of longitude. In fact the definition of local mean solar time is a strong function of longitude. Our hourly time zones correspond to 15 degrees of longitude, centered on certain meridian (and should be 15W, but that varies greatly cause of all the political factors0. Eastern time zone is centered on the 75W meridian.
If you're to the east of that central meridian, sunrise/set and solar noon occur *earlier* per the clock time. If you're to the west of the central meridian, those times occur later.
So, too far west, sunrise comes especially late in winter at high latitudes. Conversely sunset comes too early if you're too far east.

I had a uncle who was quite the curmudgeon and sort of conspiracy minded. "They" were trying to fool him with the DST change into coming to work one hour earlier and quitting one hour earlier.
He would never change his watch or clocks. So during DST, he was always doing 7AM - 4PM and having to mentally adjust any appointment times and all that. And he'd get mixed up occasionally, especially right after the changeovers.

Here in Idaho, on the other side of the time zone, it sets a little after 5 (I think), but does not rise until well after 9 am, and with the foothills it's closer to 10 am before we see the sun.

See time.gov for the current time zone boundaries (which are a bit odd, and that's politics and local economic ties). In the original scheme, with 15 degree wide zones, standard time would differ from local mean time by no more than +/- 30 minutes. Now, the way it worked out (looking at you Michigan and Indiana) we're a bit wider than 15 degrees, especially with Eastern.
In fact, IIRC, and look at timezone map with the meridians compared, and I think the US scheme is just slightly shifted west too much on average, maybe 15 to 20 minutes for what the ideal would be.

Go to timeandate.com, which is the most reliable sunrise/set/moon, etc, etc, astronomical etc, etc site there is. Plug in locations and see the sunrise and set times for any of those far western boundaries in Michigan and Indiana.
Look at the latest sunrise time (which will occur in late Dec to early Jan depending on latitude) and you can see how late it can get in those locations per standard zone time.

When working, I hated DST. My shift was 5am (sometimes 4am) to 5pm (sometimes 4pm)-- and the sun would be blazing until nearly 10pm.
Blackout curtains. But-- now can't open the windows.
Don't want to open windows anyway, because neighborhood kids out of school & outside playing all evening. Noisy!
So, my own fault for having a shift-job, but everyone needs to earn a living *somehow* right?

Sweet goldens befriend any person or animal. Shelby and a squirrel played for years on the back porch. We had a pool screen and the squirrel messed with him and it was a game. When our sweet Shelby died the squirrel kept looking for him when I went outside to swim laps. He missed our boy, too. Shel-bear was so loved.
That baby boy elephant charging is so cute.

It is against nature to get up at dark unless you are on a farm and have to milk cows or similar.

*******
Growing up, a friend's baby sister was born profoundly deaf from her mother having rubella in her 3rd month of pregnancy. Advised to abort she refused.
She appeared beautiful, bright, and normal til she didn't talk much at 15mo, or respond to her name. Was already lip reading.
She attended a rare (at the time) school for the deaf and learned to lip read. People from other states brought their children to this school in MS. She entered regular school in 3rd grade and led a very normal life. Deafness in childhood does not have to be a handicap.
She was uncanny with animals from toddlerhood. An equestrian. She was once missing at 3yrs and her mother (frantic) found her milking a cow, with the cow patiently letting her.
Our entire community embraced this beautiful child and no one felt she was different. If anything her Southern accent sounds Scandinavian. Her daughter would inform people, as if we didn't know, that her mother's ears were broken.

“After deliberating for just over 5 1/2 hours, the jury of 5 women and 7 men found Samantha Krebs guilty of first-degree intentional homicide in the stabbing death of Joey Carnot. The judge scheduled sentencing for the morning of November 25, 2025.”
Looks like it was an epic battle, alright.
Posted by: Tom Servo
W0w, I am impressed that there is something in the real world with which my nickname matches. However...
My Krebs is Sir Hans Adolf Krebs, elucidator of the citric acid cycle in biochemistry, the principal source of energy for cells and thus an important part of cellular respiration.
My Carnot is Nicolas Léonard Sadi Carnot, whose Carnot Cycle was the first successful theory of the maximum efficiency of heat engines.
Biochemistry and physics were two areas in which I made my bones during my scientific career in academia and industry.
The "Epic Battle of the Cycling Stars" is a snarky salute to the series that ran on ABC, "Battle of the Network Stars" between 1976 and 1988. "Epic" attests to the fact that ABC's "battle" involved mere entertainers and my mock "battle" was between two highly regarded scientists.

High-Speed Train Crash Kills At Least 68 People In Spain
I'm pretty sure that Rome, as it crumbled, experienced many accidents such as this.
Dying nations like dying people experience a lot of injuries before they pass.Kangmin Lee
@kangminlee 10m Absolutely horrifying footage coming out of Spain. A Rente high-speed train carrying 397 passengers rear-ended a stationary Iryo train carrying 147, with the death toll currently at 64 and rising and injuring dozens more among the 544 passengers aboard. This tragedy marks the second major crash on the corridor this year, following a January collision at Adamuz that killed 46. Accidents like this are easily preventable and utterly unacceptable in the first world. What is going on in Spain? Pray for the victims and their families.
A high-speed train slammed into the rear of another train that had stopped in central Spain, derailing two cars and killing at least 68 people Wednesday morning. https://t.co/i9vGczB1tt https://t.co/t1dKdYp18g

An Iryo train carrying 146 people and a Renfe train carrying 397 people, have collided near Toledo, Spain.
This is the second catastrophic high-speed rail accident on the Madrid-Seville line to occur this year. https://t.co/RGTDgpCusY— Massimo (@Rainmaker1973) October 28, 2026
Video shows the immediate aftermath of a deadly high-speed train collision in central Spain on Wednesday that killed at least 64 people and injured 80 others, authorities said.
The crash occurred in the province of Toledo when a high-speed train slammed into the back of another train that had stopped, derailing two cars. Both trains were traveling from Madrid to Seville, carrying a combined 544 passengers. The cause of the crash remains unknown.— CBS News (@CBSNews) October 28, 2026
You know who's to blame? Foreign accounts already know who arranged this collision: Jews. And the terrorist propaganda network Reuters tries to link the collision -- which occurred under a Socialist PM who's not spending enough on maintenance so that he can give freebies to nomads -- on "far right" groups. Far right groups who think the government in power is responsible for what happens under its maladministration. What racist crazies. Look at them, "clashing" with police even during this tragedy! The left would never exploit a tragedy like this for political purposes.

Protests erupt in Spain after train crash kills dozensOh right, I forgot, Spain as endured three weeks of violent rioting, looting, and arson at the hands of the Islamocommunists, but now "far right" groups protest in a perfectly appropriate place -- outside the offices of a government official credibly accused of deadly incompetence -- and all of a sudden protesting is Treason.
Far-right demonstrators clashed with police outside the country's transport ministry where they had gathered to call for the prime minister's resignation. Spain began three days of mourning Thursday after at least 69 people were killed and dozens more injured in the country's deadliest train crash in decades. But anger is mounting about the alleged incompetence that allowed the accident to happen and protesters clashed with police overnight outside the country's transport ministry. Once considered one of the country's crowning achievements, Spain's high-speed rail network had not endured a deadly crash since it came into service over 30 years ago. After the second train accident in less than a year, the tragedy has deepened the feeling among many that there is something broken in Spanish society. The crash follows weeks of protests.

Since Canada feels snubbed by America and President Trump, we've been trying to cozy up to Europe - out new lover.
It's going great. Carbon taxes on Canadian goods maybe. No word if we'll get the amusement of foreigners destroying crap. We probably brought in the laziest.

JUST IN: California’s High-Speed Rail to Nowhere Chief Abruptly Resigns Amid Questions About Multi-Billion Dollar Boondoggle
Ian Choudri, the CEO of California’s high-speed rail to nowhere abruptly resigned late Wednesday night amid questions about the multi-billion-dollar boondoggle.
Originally greenlit by the voters with the promise of linking Los Angeles to San Francisco in a modern, efficient bullet train system for a mere $33 billion with a completion date set for four years ago, the project has ballooned to an eyewatering $128 bilion to $130 billion, with no clear completion date in sight, according to abc30.
Ian Choudri, who came on board in summer 2024, claimed last year that the high speed train might be finished in twenty years. That would be the year 2045.
LOL.
Twenty year.
Powered by cold fusion.
What an amazing world that will be.

IF...the next governor of California, regardless of party, wanted any of us normies to ever take California seriously again, they could do one simple thing upon taking office: simply announce that the high-speed-rail experiment was over and no more money would be allocated to it.
They could then go right back to grifting, but for at least 30 minutes the rest of us would be left wondering "What the hell got into California?".

To read/watch the MSM is to be misinformed. Not to read it means one is uninformed. Easier on digestive system to simply be uninformed. X has better and faster coverage than the dying fake and gay media with its endless dog and pony narrative crap.
Even in Europe, which is why the Eurotrash hates Elon, X is now the trusted source for news worldwide rather than the old decaying standards of the MSM. And smart bloggers and substackers recognize that and use links with summaries of their stories on X so you can go more into detail.

I checked on updates for the "kirkiversary cake" story from the University of Utah (not the school Charlie was murdered at), about the horrible girl that marched up to the college republicans table on the one year anniversary of his death, with a "happy kirkiversary" cake.
It will surprise no one, since this is a very liberal school, that the only students that went through disciplinary measures was the college republicans. Because they posted video of it and it went viral.
Luckily it sounds like the school dismissed all allegations against them. But they could have been expelled. I think public pressure forced the school to halt going any further.
Also, one of the college republican kids present at the cake incident had previously been threatened. Someone has told them at a previous event they were going to "Kirk them." So IMO they have every right to expose anyone promoting violence.
The girl that baked the cake is apparently the daughter of a tech bigwig, and is going into medicine for kids. I wouldn't want her anywhere near kids of mine.

Now we're lucky if the train even shows up, doesn't get stranded in the middle of the railways, doesn't catch fire, and we survive, all while paying through the wazoo for the privilege.
For some reason Spain has a unusual amount of very bad train crash fatalities, look up incidents between 2000 till now. It's unnerving.
Human error, underpaid and overexerted workers, no one complaining when one is fired and their work has to be done by the rest.
Kind of amazing that this happened today when there was already a strike called for tomorrow because of safety issues.
There is simply too many people visiting Spain and too little money invested on renovating aging infrastructures. Either we tax tourists more to pay for it or set a maximum number of tourists so there is less deterioration (and less chances for a disaster to happen).
On the face of it, it seems that the privatization of trains still is a flawed idea. what we saved on budget cuts we are now paying in lives

Trump Fires Three-Star General for Leaking to Press, Lying In Three Failed Polygraph Tests
Alexandra Ingersoll
@AlexIngersoll NEW: On background from a War Department official: Army Lieutenant General Brett Sylvia, who was part of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was fired by Secretary Hegseth for severe misconduct. Although Sylvia's title was director of the Directorate for Strategy, Plans, and Policy at the Joint Chiefs of Staff, known inside the military as the J5, he was NOT a central planner for the Iran War. That is the responsibility of CENTCOM and its commander Admiral Cooper. Sylvia is the subject of an investigation for leaking classified information about the Iran War, the war between Russia and Ukraine, and more. Due to the Pentagon's media policy requiring journalists to have escorts in the building, Sylvia began meeting with journalists outside of the Pentagon in order to leak classified information. Sylvia failed three polygraphs which questioned him about leaking classified information. The investigation into him remains ongoing and has been referred to the Department of Justice for further action. The extent of his leaking became so critical that Secretary Hegseth took immediate action and fired Sylvia in order to protect national security. Urgent action was needed and could not wait another second.
Beege Wellborne saysthis comes after a story leaked to Steve Jobs' Widow's Vanity Magazine The Atlantic, claiming that Pete Hegseth is incompetent. Fox News:
War Secretary Pete Hegseth fired one of the Pentagon's senior strategic planners amid an investigation into allegations he leaked classified information to journalists about the Iran war, Russia's war in Ukraine and other sensitive matters, a Department of War official told Fox News. The official said Lt. Gen. Brett Sylvia failed three polygraph examinations related to alleged disclosures of classified information. The investigation has been referred to the Justice Department. Sylvia is also accused of meeting journalists outside the Pentagon with the alleged intention of leaking classified material after Hegseth imposed new media restrictions requiring reporters to be escorted inside the building. Fox News Digital has reached out to Sylvia for comment but did not hear back at time of publication. The Justice Department declined to comment specifically on Sylvia but said it has "ongoing investigations related to possible leaks of classified information" and works closely with the Department of War. Pentagon chief spokesman Sean Parnell said the personnel action followed "an extensive Air Force OSI investigation," though he did not identify Sylvia by name in his statement or provide further details about the investigation. Parnell issued a pointed warning to those suspected of leaking classified information: "Our commitment was not an empty promise. We vowed to find you, and we meant it." ...
The official stressed that Sylvia was not a central planner of the Iran war, which falls under U.S. Central Command and its commander, Adm. Brad Cooper. ... Sylvia is the second officer leading the J5 to be removed under Hegseth, following Lt. Gen. Joseph McGee. Hegseth also removed Lt. Gen. Douglas Sims, then director of the Joint Staff, earlier this year. President Donald Trump told reporters Sylvia is going to have "big problems, long term problems" on Thursday.

Have you seen the videos of "man-on-the-street" interviews where the interviewer invites a leftist to give specific examples of Trump doing something bad and the leftist invariably says, "There's so many examples; it's hard to think of just one!"

That's because they don't engage their brain when somebody said Trump lied, and simply nod along to confirmation bias.
I saw a video about how you remember better when stress is involved, and that's really how you learn things. There has to be effort, and a modicum of stress.
If somebody is just feeding into the belief structure they planted in you. You're just nodding along, "Yeah, Trump lies--all the time." And the specifics pass them by.

Retro topic:
I thought this girl said she was worried about here reputation which is why she called the cops and waiting a few years before she filed the suit.
I'm no expert but doing a Netflix documentary about your gangbang would only enhance the reputation of a pornstar, and not by much.
Is she going to be on OnlyFans next after just saying "Screw it" and becoming her reputation?
Posted by: SpeakingOf
There are selfie videos of this trollop speaking of her fashion sense (very loose paraphrasing here): "... girls say I am pretty ... I wear large silver hoops and a nose piercing and that always gets their attention ... I suffered with cankles for years ... now I have them under control and so I exercise in public and have returned to wearing shorts ..."
She's a dim 304. If all the Cornell sturm und drang was a teaser for something straight out of Netflix, there'll be lawsuits aplenty and, one hopes, arrests and trials for the "masterminds".

For months, DFL candidate Abdi Daisane has been busy running for a seat in the Minnesota House of Representatives. On paper, his St. Cloud daycare has been pretty busy, too.
Blooming Kids Child Care Center was first opened in 2018. The facility is licensed to serve up to 113 children and is scheduled for a license renewal in December.
According to records from the Minnesota House Fraud Prevention and State Agency Oversight Committee, Blooming Kids Child Care Center has received just over $7.29 million in Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) payments since 2018.
CCAP is a state-run program that subsidizes child care for low-income families. The program is one of several programs at the center of Minnesota’s ongoing fraud scandals.
Alpha News recently spoke with a former employee of a neighboring business of Blooming Kids Child Care Center. The worker told Alpha News, “I do not recall ever seeing children entering or leaving the facility.”

Yeah, I like checking out the crazy on CNN and MSNow.
It hasn't been as much as it was, but a few months ago, it was all cost of gas, cost of diesel. But no rending of clothes.
And no inconvenient historical comparisons.
340 million people in the US. CNN can only muster 700,000 and MSNow - 1.7 million. Fox isn't much better.
I think trust in the media is so low, most ignore it. AI did tell me that ratings for shows as 60 minutes will include people who fell asleep or left the room with the tv on.
I ask about ratings and subscribers. The NYT i think had 12 million and that's probably world wide since they are 'gold-standard.'

Stella.... Ugh. We used to drink that piss when I was stationed there. The export stuff tasted a lot like Heineken, and was okay. The domestic though...
They'd reuse the big bottles, and if you could still read the paper label, they'd just leave it on. If you needed a new label, they'd just slap it on over the old ones. Getting a bottle with three stacked labels was common. When the chain of command finally cut us off from drinking the domestic, they claimed that it'd been fortified with formaldehyde. Don't know about that, but the hangover from that shit was absolutely shattering.

Espionage Act investigation is my guess. They are going after the rest of the pool and scuttlebutt on X is that includes Ms. Jennifer Griffin of Faux News. Some of the information included in leaks involved active operations in Iran which kicks it up a notch in seriousness. Iran is an enemy of the US now in open combat. Thus, death penalty for Espionage Act violations in War Time could apply.
Summary from Brave AI
"Criminal Penalties: Violations can result in heavy fines and imprisonment, with sentences ranging up to 20 years for obstructing military operations or causing insubordination, and the death penalty for conveying information to the enemy during wartime. "

Nope, read up on the Prize Cases, all that is necessary is for hostilities to exist which dealt with the undeclared Civil War actions of President Lincoln.
Justice Grier for the majority,
"Let us enquire whether, at the time this blockade was instituted, a state of war existed which would justify a resort to these means of subduing the hostile force.
War has been well defined to be, "That state in which a nation prosecutes its right by force."
The parties belligerent in a public war are independent nations. But it is not necessary, to constitute war, that both parties should be acknowledged as independent nations or sovereign States. "

Scotus precedent that war exists when hostile actions exist is pretty settled, it has not been applied AFAIK to the Espionage Act but has been to other actions of war such as blockades, lawsuits (force majeure clauses), detention and removal of aliens from nations where we are engaged in hostilities with, etc. etc.
So the fact that active hostilities existed when he leaked would be enough to put a noose around his neck. Whether they would do it or not, is another question.

I am told that crude oil and diesel are priced at the commodity market level, not on the consumer level pricing, and a lot of the issues we are seeing now are reflecting both of the commodity traders owning the market and the Euros being really short of heating oil for the coming winter.
Supposedly the waiver on Russian oil and diesel is going to directly affect both markets, since it will kick some of the props out from under the commodity pricing and give additional supply to the consumers to modify the demand.
Venezuela ramping up production is going to be another disruptor for the pricing.
I am going to guess the waiver is calculated to last just as long as it takes Venezuela to meet and exceed that same volume for export allowed for the Russians.

Feds Raid "Adult Day Care" Centers In New York That Are Almost Entirely Fraudulent and Used to Steal Money from the American Taxpayer and Send It Back to... the Chinese Communist Party
NYC's biggest fraud scheme? Feds RAID adult day cares across the cityOh sure I'm certain she's right on top of widespread immigrant looting of the American taxpayer. Video report here.
The feds raided at least two Brooklyn adult day cares on Oct. 20 as part of a sweeping probe into more than 100 sites suspected of Medicaid fraud involving everything from money laundering to kickbacks, officials said. The crackdown is part of a monthslong "massive effort to combat fraud and abuse" involving taxpayer dollars and some of the state's most vulnerable people, Gov. Kathy Hochul said.
Audit: New York State is permitting B I L L I O N S in Democrat constituency groups' theft of taxpayer funds.
Wall Street Apes
@WallStreetApes INSANE 🚨 100% of New York adult daycares that were audited WERE FRAUD "We audited 15 of these -- There's no record of a single meal, activity, single hour of supervision" ILLEGAL KICKBACKS were also reported with these adult daycares. How the scam works is the daycares will sign people up and offer them $1,000 per month cash The adult daycare can bill about $120 per day to taxpayers. So they make about $3,600 per person and give the person $1,000 of it per month back as a kickback So they pocket $2,600. The person with the Medicaid insurance gets $1,000 Taxpayers are being robbed blind
Oh, you mean exactly the credit card zip code checker that could immediately block foreigners from donating to Democrats which ActBlue specifically disabled so that all the illegal money would flow in? Isn't that odd that the same things keep happening, and it's all part of what prosecutors will one cay call "a common scheme or plan." Let foreigners loot the taxpayers, then take kickbacks from those same foreigners illegally donating to the very politicians who enabled their plunder.
A new report examining New York state audits found billions of dollars in Medicaid payments lacking required verification, an estimated $11 billion in improper unemployment payments and widespread failures to enforce financial safeguards. The report, produced by the State Financial Officers Foundation and OpenTheBooks.com, reviewed findings from the New York State Comptroller's Office between 2018 and mid-2026, identifying oversight problems involving Medicaid, unemployment insurance, local governments and affordable housing. Among the largest findings, New York paid approximately $31.5 billion for Medicaid personal-care services between January 2021 and March 2023, but $14.5 billion -- roughly 46% -- lacked matching electronic records verifying when services occurred or how long they lasted. A 2024 Comptroller audit found that the state had a system capable of blocking certain payments without the required Electronic Visit Verification records, but the feature was not activated.
... Auditors separately flagged $21.3 million in potentially improper Medicaid payments, including visits billed while patients were hospitalized or lasting too briefly to qualify for reimbursement. "This audit found a disturbing lack of oversight and failure to comply with the required service verifications," New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli said in the 2024 audit. "The state Department of Health needs to do a better job of protecting the integrity of these services and safeguard Medicaid funds."Meanwhile, Democrat judges are absolutely insistent that illegal aliens' illegal votes for Democrats be counted. Jennifer Van Laar:
Judge David Carter of the Central District of California ruled against the Department of Justice's emergency motion to require California and Los Angeles County election officials to sequester ballots returned by those on a list of 20,000 people the federal government had determined to be "likely noncitizens." In a scathing 26-page order, Carter likened the federal government's effort to prevent illegal aliens from voting to efforts to keep black Americans or women from voting, and to Jim Crow-era laws like "poll taxes, literary tests, and other obstacles to prevent people from casting their vote." In the introduction, he wrote:Now the woke judges are all about States' Rights. Sure.
Never before in American history has the federal government, on the eve of an election, sought to coerce a state and local government to abandon their own Constitutional elections procedures and bend to the will of the Executive Branch. In bringing this lawsuit, the Executive would have this Court believe that it reigns as a sole sovereign. But California and its people are sovereign, too.

If you are non-white, steal a car, instantly back on the streets
If you are a foreigner, steal an entire dealership, and nothing happens.

=====================
Okay, I have another idea. Cut off the daycares and tell them to go to their elected state officials for their money. State officials, those nonpareils of efficiency and responsiveness, must forward their requests to HHS officials. HHS officials will audit the requests on a quarterly basis and if irregularity exceeds 4%, the whole budget is denied. Lather rinse repeat until your state officials learn how to submit a proper request.

I went to the polling place at 10:30. No line. I've been early-voting around 10:30 am Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday for several cycles now. Always no line or a short line. My reasoning: The people who vote after dropping kids off at school along with people getting there early hoping to beat the lines are done and gone. People sneaking away from work to vote then go to lunch haven't started arriving yet.
A commenter said yesterday early voting in my county, Harris (Houston) is down compared to 2022. Maybe that was more of factor producing no line today than my time of day reasoning. Go Paxton! Go TRUMP!!!!

Red counties in Texas are slowly and steadily on track to almost unanimously clear their 2022 midterm turnout, some by 30% or more or up to presidential.
None of the big four blue counties appear to be on track to hit their presidential counts, which is where I factored them during my worst case analysis. Travis needs to hang 200k votes in the last two days of EV + ED to get there. And they had 103% of previous presidential turnout in 2018.
Talarico still on pace to lose 40k or more of O’Rourke margin in El Paso.

O Captain: Patrick Stewart Dead at 86
He's been looking more and more frail for years.
Stewart died Wednesday at his home in Los Angeles following "a brief and poignant journey with Alzheimer's disease and Lewy body dementia," longtime spokesperson Kelly Bush Novak announced. "He has been held in the warm embrace of family and friends, surrounded by live music, prayer, tears, laughter and the kind of profound emotion that only he could inspire after a lifetime of devotion to us all," Bush Novak wrote. "We will forever cherish the peaceful ease and reflection on his face, an enduring reminder of his invincible grace."Please feel free to use this thread to talk about off-topic stuff, like movies or shows or books you'd recommend. I had not planned a mid-day entertainment thread, so I have not much to add here. I wasn't a fan of Star Trek: TNG or Stewart for that matter, but I know that many people were. As everyone always points out, he was one of the first knights to declare for Arthur in Excalibur. Which, as everyone also always says, was filled with no-name actors who would soon become big names: Gabriel Byrne and Liam Neeson, for example. Plus Helen Mirren and the great Nicole Williamson, who had previously dated and absolutely loathed each other and had to be cajoled into working together. But I think they were already kinda well-known, and they didn't become big stars like Byrne and Neeson. So here's what I'm watching: Elementary, again, and Person of Interest, this time, for the third time. Both shows are good but Person of Interest continually surprises me with how many genuinely good moments it has and how much smart science fiction stuff. It was commenters who recommended it to me, ten or twelve years ago. I think maybe Garrett said it was "Daredevil in a business suit," which is semi-accurate, but actually downplays how good it is. If you don't know the premise: An ultra-reclusive computer genius with the fake name "Harold Finch" created an artificial super-intelligence after 9/11 to scan all of the trillions of megabytes of data being hoovered up to find the actual terrorists and their plots. But the ASI, called "The Machine," was too good at its job and didn't just find terror plots, but any kind of premeditated crime like kidnapping and murder. It began alerting the government to these threats, but the government wanted to limit what The Machine did, largely because the entire scheme was unconstitutional and illegal and they didn't want to have to explain how they're suddenly showing up at murder scenes before the murder is committed. They can tell some lies to explain how they foil the occasional terrorist attack, but they don't want to like 1,500 times a year about the murders they thwart. So they declare all non-terrorism-related threats "irrelevant" and ignore them. But Harold Finch is haunted by these preventable murders that he could stop but doesn't. So he uses the backdoor he built into the computer to tell it to send him the social security numbers, and only the social security numbers, of people The Machine predicts are either going to be the victim of serious violence, or the perpetrator. And because he's a pencil-necked geek, he recruits a special forces ex-terrorist-hunter with the pseudonym "John Reese" to be the strongman of the team and actually deal with the threats. So the premise is: This is a murder mystery show, but we enter the murder mystery before murder happens, and if we can figure out who is being threatened and by whom, we won't just solve the murder, we'll prevent the murder. It's a great premise. Many shows would just take this premise and run with it, ignoring the background story of how this is even possible. But Person of Interest takes it to the next level and also features stories about The Machine itself, and specifically, dangerous foreign nations who have figured out that America now has an ASI and want to seize it for themselves. Most episodes are about stopping murders and kidnappings, but a fair number are about the fight to keep The Machine secret and safe from the very dangerous people who would like to hijack it. And the sci-fi and legal framework is solid. For example, the reason the government says it's legal to scan everyone's emails and bank statements is that it's just a computer looking, and it doesn't count as a "search" until a human sees the information. (That's why Finch's machine only supplies social security numbers -- the humans have to do the real digging themselves.) The point is: this isn't just something they made up for the show. This is the real-world government legal position on the use of computers and artificial intelligence to search and analyze records. The show doesn't treat you like a moron (mostly). For example, we'll see a POV shot from Reese, where he looks down at a man's pantleg and there's a slight bulge at his ankle. He doesn't say "ankle gun" to the audience. The show relies on you having seen the bulge yourself, so you know why Reese reaches for the man's ankle after punching him in the gut. And it has a lot of espionage stuff too. It's basically a mix of your four favorite genres: Mystery/detective, spy action-adventure, science-fiction, and street-level superhero.
Highly recommended, including for a rewatch, if you haven't seen it again. It holds up.

OPutside of Star Trek, that's what I remember him for, along with 'Gurney Halleck' in Dune (1984).
And of course, Professor Xavier, in X-Men, which he did a really fine job with.
I liked Stewart in some other things as well.
His Ebeneezer Scrooge wasn't bad, and he did that Moby Dick movie I watched once.
I'm glad he got a chance to do the Picard series, even if the first and second season pretty much sucked, the third season was a nice little reunion show of TNG, so I enjoyed it.
Sucks about Stewart's politics, but he was a Brit, so you get what you get.
RIP Captain.

I honestly don't know, but my two favorite Patrick Stewart moments:
The Ice Bucket Challenge (some time in the 2010s?): All the other celebrities get doused by ice or what not. He gets a bucket of ice next to a really nice chair and writes a check for whatever the cause was supposed to be. Then pours himself some alcohol. Because the point was raising money.
Telling about his time on the set of Dune, where he meets Sting and unintentionally humbled him because he honestly had no idea who Sting was. Absolutely hilarious.

A movie based on the country music song, Ol' Red, has been green-lit. Pre-production starts early next year with filming to follow.
There have been many threads on Reddit over the years asking opinions on which songs would make great movies and Ol' Red is almost always one that is mentioned, multiple times, even.
No idea who is going to star in it, and you won't find this being reported on the internet movie sites yet, but my information comes from a source about as close to the horse's mouth as one can get.

Well, Eraserhead, Lynch had total control. Spent a year in editing because it was an independent film he'd mostly self-financed over a five year shoot.
He did not have any editorial control over Dune and was contractually obligated to turn in an edit no more than 2 hours and 17 minutes long.

Things are looking up as I now don't have to cook dinner, which leaves me more time to do the dreaded chores that are going away soon. I love to cook when there is not stuff to do.
My dude is a blues acoustic man by hobby and innate talent. Taught himself piano and guitar as a teen, and hardly reads music. Probably due to being a math genius. He can hear a song and play it on the piano.Not how he made his money to provide for us, as that involved computers and stuff I don't understand at all.
I don't have the blues (just the procrastination), but I love the guitar on this song as well as the entire song. He introduced this to me on a car drive up the mountains many years ago.
He's a walking juke box. We hear a song in the movies and I ask who did that...and he knows.
He's a big Moron but just hasn't met you...after all he married me, and God help him, he's stuck with me.

I saw people note that they did the same thing with Worf that they did with Superman on Justice League.
Whenever they wanted to prove that a new villain was tough and powerful, they'd have him come in and immediately one-shot and rag-doll Worf (and Superman).
I know the writers of Justice League realized that after they'd done this 20 times, they had inadvertently turned Superman into "the guy who immediately goes down in a fight."
and then I saw a compilation of Worf being used the same way, as the object that gets smashed to prove the new threat is serious.
(Kind of the same problem the Leonardo DiCaprio character had in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. )

Like TOS, there were some very good TNG episodes. But with more than double the numbers of seasons/episodes as TOS, they can get lost.

Picard was the intellectual's captain.
He really tried to avoid violence unless necessary but he did get pissed off enough a few times where he turned into a madman.
Picard was a very human ST captain.
One of his best episodes, and one of Stewart's best job acting, was an episode where he returned home to France, "Family", to be with his brother and his wife & son after the Borg had transformed Picard into 'Locutus of Borg'. Picard at that point was considering leaving Starfleet, but decided not to after a fight with his brother in the family wine vineyard over Picard being afraid to get back to his life again and head back to Enterprise.
It's a very powerful episode, but it's definitely not Captain Kirk.

I liked that part of the movie. It's an interesting conversation about realistically examining your position and your options. Sure, you're in Hollywood and appearing on TV and movies. But you're the "heavy" and you're always going to lose. The audience knows you, but will always associate you with the losing position. Why not go to Italy, make some money, be the winner for a bit, and enjoy the break?
The conversation feels real, and it does a good job painting the picture for the audience. This is a journeyman actor who is on the way out.

You probably wouldn't have liked it.
The first three, and into four, seasons, had some moments but were not that great.
The last three and half seasons are really good sci-fi.
And then things got better with DS9.
The rest are so-so to ughh.

Andrew Robinson, and he did indeed do a damn fine job with the Garak character. That was a truly Interesting character.
You'll see Robinson in a lot of the older shows, Mannix, Barnaby Jones, etc, etc, running on MeTV. He could play a good creepy villain type.

And they made it a point to expose as much of Jolene Blalock as they could.

The Traveler was some kind of alien that could manipulate space, time, and warp fields with his mind.

If you want to be a big fish in a small pond, you can find a sparsely populated, beautiful planet and thrive. You ship in a replicator and a nearly endless power unit and you're all set for life.
If you have political aspirations, go do that. If you want to create, go do that. If you want to be a hedonist, go do that.
But why would you bust your butt to get into Starfleet academy only to end up a third tier night shift maintenance man? All of the work, danger, no pay, isolation, etc. for what benefit? You get a small bunk, a small job, and no recognition. The best part of your day is Troi walking by and you get a glimpse of her butt. Why would you live that life?

The original 80s Fright Night is fun, and not too scary or gory. I recall a 2009 movie called The Hole that was very creepy, but not so gory. Or you could say "fuck normality" and watch "Rubber". It isn't scary, but does have gore. And it's made by a crazy Frenchman.

🚨BREAKING: Jane-Michelle Arc, a biological male from the San Francisco area who identifies as a woman, left the United States for the Netherlands and applied for asylum, citing fears about the political climate and personal safety.
He arrived at the Ter Apel asylum registration center, the main entry point for asylum seekers in the Netherlands. The facility has long struggled with severe overcrowding and repeated security problems. The Netherlands Red Cross recently paused some outdoor services at the site after a rise in violence that local authorities linked to a disruptive group inside the center.
Conditions at Ter Apel have been difficult, with ongoing reports of tension, limited safety, and strained resources.
According to reports, he apparently now wants to come back to the US.

Whenever they wanted to prove that a new villain was tough and powerful, they'd have him come in and immediately one-shot and rag-doll Worf (and Superman).
I know the writers of Justice League realized that after they'd done this 20 times, they had inadvertently turned Superman into "the guy who immediately goes down in a fight."
and then I saw a compilation of Worf being used the same way, as the object that gets smashed to prove the new threat is serious.
Posted by: ace
It's such a trope that TVTropes calls it "The Worf Effect."
And illustrates it with a panel from a Superman comic.

Saw a creature feature on Prime titled, "Hungry".
About a group of tourists in the Louisiana swamps to see gators and instead run afoul of a very territorial hippo or two.
I'm not going to tell you that it's a great movie but it is a very entertaining one. Well worth a watch.
There will be chomping!
BONUS! You get a minor history lesson. The story's premise is based on a 1910 Congressional Bill to introduce hippos into Louisiana to alleviate a meat shortage. In reality the bill didn't pass. In the movie hippos were brought in anyway.

There's a movie that's like the Pulp Fiction of horror, with four separate stories that cross into each other like Bruce Willis crossed into John Travolta's story.
Trick r' Treat -- gory, but not like extreme gore that makes you uncomfortable, more the gore that just gives you a jolt and then a laugh

Because it was a totalitarian society that drafted your ass. They had to, because otherwise everyone would just fuck off and do whatever. The whole thing is totalitarian utopianism.
Posted by: Star trek is for fascists at October 29, 2026 05:04 PM (anL5R)
They didn't draft anybody on ST, lol.
It was a prestigious thing to be in Starfleet.
They were exploring the galaxy.
As for their economic system, yeah, that was TV magic, and they contradicted themselves over and over as the shows went on.
Their economic system in TNG was basically the replicator.
Without that thing the entire system fell apart.
And as for recreation for maintenance crew, they could date and have sex with real people on the crew or in the HoloDecks.

+1 for The Long Good Friday. Bob Hoskins gives a terrific performance, with one of the best acting jobs ever in my book in the very last scene. He doesn't speak in that scene. He gives the viewer a progression of facial expressions with accompanying body language, showing a range of emotion, that viewers will immediately understand and can sympathize with. I won't give any spoiler beyond that.

The 2nd season of "The Terminal List" is now showing on Prime.
When we left our hero at the end of Season One, he sailed off to die at sea from a brain tumor.
Surprise! he didn't die and now has been roped into a mission to stop a new Al-Queda terrorist cell.
The once the show actually gets going. It has some spectacular action, very fun, tense watch, buuuuuut it takes you around 4 episodes to get there.
If you can put up with the slow plot mechanics, you'll have a great time.

Almost the premise of a Henry Kuttner (Lewis Padgett) story about a dude trying to get away with murder in a world where the cops could look back in time after the murder looking for clues. Has a twist ending. Called Private Eye.
Alfred Bester's Demolished Man was a murder investigation where the cops are telepathic but have to find real world evidence. Another twist at the end.

No. We're not in a "post scarcity" world. If your choice is working in the local factory, working a farm, or military, lots of young guys will choose military. You get the GI bill. You get a good disposable income. You might get to play will expensive guns. For many decades, the US military was a pretty good option compared to some of the alternatives.
What's the sales pitch in Star Trek in a post scarcity world? You can go anywhere and do anything and you choose that?

"Fox News is suffering a catastrophic drop in viewership, which has plunged to historic lows just before the midterm elections, according to new data.
Preliminary Nielsen ratings obtained by Status ahead of their official release show that the Trump-friendly juggernaut is on track to post its lowest-rated month in total day viewers since December 2023, averaging just 1.1 million total viewers throughout October 2026. However, last year's ratings were buoyed by huge stories, including the Gaza ceasefire and the hostage release.
Among the key 25-54 demographic coveted by advertisers, the outlet is headed for its lowest-rated month in a quarter-century, averaging a paltry 98,000 viewers. It places third in that group, and fifth among 18-49 demos.

The collapse represents a brutal 27 percent drop in total viewers and a 32 percent dive in the 25-54 demographic compared to last October.'

True story. I played in a company softball league when I first got out of school. After one game we went over to one of my teammates apartment to watch The Thing.
His former roommate showed up with his girlfriend and they brought a literal plastic garbage bag full of this new cheese popcorn thing they invented. It was delicious. A bunch of us powered through the whole bag.
They decided to take their popcorn idea and make it into a company. They called it Smartfood.
Now every time I eat Smartfood I watch the dog. Just in case.

Here's the problem I'd have with the show:
90+% of murders are just gang members and streets criminals shooting at each other randomly with their Glocks held sideways, often hitting bystanders.
Drivebys.
Fentanyl-addict liquor-store robberies gone bad.
Low-IQ pimps flying into a rage and killing their street hookers.
Etc. etc. etc.
And most of the remaining 10% of murder are semi-spur of the moment domestic violence flipouts.
Which leaves us with maybe 1%-2% of murders at most[/b[ that are premeditated Agatha-Christie-style planned murders. They're actually comparatively rare.
But in the show, it is depicted that all these thousands of murders can be "predicted" because they're "planned ahead of time." Nuh-uh. In the real world, it ain't like that.

I just finished binge-watching Season 5, and I think they're setting up a possible ending for River in S6, just in case. Final S5 episode, he tells Louisa that he's leaving MI5. And Diana definitely said that she didn't want him back from Slough House, despite Lamb going to bat for him to return to regular service.
I'm starting S6 tonight, so I'm wondering where it's going from here.
As for Lowden, I think he'd make a pretty decent mid-level Bond, and he's the right age. Needs some creatine and gym time though, but if Amazon throws money at him, he'll put in the work.

Gary Moore wrote it and sang this song.
Love his voice and guitar. I'm fascinated with musicians who used to travel to the Delta of Mississippi to see blues singers at the origins. Or who grew up listening to albums. I had no idea of the connection til the last decade.
Gary Moore was Irish, loved blues but never went to MS. Tin Lizzy to the blues.

The singers of note who traveled there to work with singers: Eric Clapton, Elvis Costello, Paul Simon, and Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top). Eric Clapton made and album with BB King.
Others were influenced by Blues Revival, such as Jimmy Page and the Rolling Stones, growing up listening to their music. Some learned from blues/jazz singers/guitarists touring in the UK like Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, and BB King. Kim Simmons of Savoy Brown also grew up listening to R&B.
Marc Cohen visited, and I love this song:

DOJ "Aggressively Investigating" Democrat Plot to Defraud the Voters of Alaska as Mary Peltolta Continues Lying About Her Role in the Election Interference
Yesterday I mentioned a NYT report that establishes that, despite a year of lying about it, Democrat Congresswoman Mary Petolta, now running for Senate (and endorsed by "Republican" swamphag Lisa Murkowski), is behind running a man called "Dan Sullivan" to siphon votes away from the real Dan Sullivan, the incumbent Republican.
The New York Times: Yes, the shifty Democrat socialist whore Mary Petola is behind the recruitment of a nobody loser named "Dan Sullivan" to run against the incumbent Republican Senator Dan Sullivan.
Operatives aligned with Democratic Senate nominee Mary Peltola spent months recruiting candidates in an effort to dilute support for Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan on Alaska's crowded ballot, according to The New York Times. The effort, internally dubbed the "ballot composition project," included an early directive to a Peltola staffer in the summer of 2025: find as many people named Dan Sullivan as possible in the state. The goal, the report says, was to land another Dan Sullivan on the ballot to create confusion and siphon votes from the incumbent. ... The staffer complied, combing through voter records to produce a list of Dan Sullivans from across the state. This was no random request. Dan S. Sullivan is the name of the state's Republican senator. And if the Peltola campaign or its allies could track down and persuade another Dan Sullivan to run for Senate, the confusion could cost the senator crucial votes on the state's unusual, four-person ballot. The plan worked. This spring, a retired teacher from a tiny fishing village along the Alaska Panhandle, reachable only by air and sea, announced his candidacy for Senate. His name was Dan J. Sullivan. The Peltola campaign has repeatedly denied any involvement in his candidacy. But The Times has found, based on interviews and text messages, along with documents prepared for a potential lawsuit against the campaign, that not only did Ms. Peltola's team work with people trying to recruit Mr. Sullivan to run for Senate, but the effort was much broader. The group worked to coax other would-be spoilers into the race, to dilute the incumbent's support and help catapult the Democrat to victory.Despite being busted by the leftwing New York Times, whose report is based on inter-campaign emails and other documentary evidence, Mary Peltola continues to insist that she didn't Knowingly Know what her entire campaign Doingly Did. Boy Democrats sure get a lot of mileage out of that "defense," huh? Her campaign put out this lie:
"The Alaskans for Mary campaign has no involvement with either Sullivan campaign. Like Mary, our campaign is focused on lowering costs and fixing the rigged system in D.C. and did not recruit any candidates into the race," the Peltola campaign said in a statement to NewsNation affiliate The Hill. The DSCC also told The Hill in a statement it had "no involvement" in recruiting the other Sullivan. Peltola's campaign did not immediately respond to The Hill's request for comment.She's also getting mileage out of the Democrats' other "defense" -- we shouldn't be talking about my election interference. conspiracies to defraud the government, or family stocked foundation to roof with Muslim Brotherhood terrorists, we should just focus on affordability (for which I have no plan except claiming Trump Did It.
Now comes word that the DOJ has in fact launched a criminal investigation, and that the subpoenas are flying like crows towards peanuts:
Reportedly -- according to Mark Halperin -- the Democrat lawyer/fixer who quaterbacked this criminal conspiracy to defraud the voters of Alaska is... the guy who attempted to defraud the voters of all America by quaterbacking Hillary Clinton's RUSSIAN DISINFORMATION hoax:
Bill Melugin
@BillMelugin_ 1h BREAKING: Colleague @davidspunt reports via two sources familiar that there is an ongoing DOJ "aggressive criminal investigation" into Daniel J. Sullivan appearing on the ballot for US Senate in Alaska, and the investigation has intensified in the wake of the bombshell NYT report today. DOJ sources tell David that multiple grand jury subpoenas will be issued in the coming hours and days, and there are preservation orders to cell phone companies that are being prepared regarding text messages and emails that may build a timeline for how Daniel J. Sullivan was placed on the ballot. The investigation is being handled by the U.S. Attorney's Office in Alaska and federal prosecutors are interested in potential charges relating to the depravation of rights of Alaska voters. The investigation is expected to go beyond Election Day and has been underway for several months.
John Reese - Person of Interest
@Rickisback_ON_X Just In: Per Mark Halperin on Megyn Kelly, the Marc Elias law firm was involved in the fake Dan Sullivan Candidate search in the Alaska Senate race.
🚨Mary Peltola in August:
“It should be a criminal offense to lie or mislead the electorate. YES!” https://t.co/oemOFQJxKZ— Senate Republicans (@NRSC) October 28, 2026
Marc Elias's name just landed in the "second Dan Sullivan" scandal.
The New York Times reports that Peltola aides, DSCC staffers and the CAMPAIGN'S LAWYERS helped push a retired teacher named Daniel J. Sullivan to run against Sen. Dan Sullivan. Peltola's lawyers in Alaska? Elias Law Group, which is now fighting Trump's DOJ to make sure the result gets certified. Mark Halperin says Elias's firm was involved in the search. That's his claim, and the firm didn't respond to Reuters. Peltola's ex-campaign manager said Peltola was "definitely aware." Peltola and the DSCC deny it. Alaska, vote for the REAL Dan Sullivan. 🇺🇸— Mila Joy (@Milajoy) October 28, 2026

Actually a trial judge chucked him off the ballot and the Alaska Supreme Court ordered him back on. Now they have had their faces rubbed in this shitty decision and are likely to screw Peltola and her lawyers for lying to the court. Fake Sullivan may be in trouble too.
Hopefully this will put a curtain on the whole RCV shitshow voting procedures in Alaska and elsewhere now. It is a bullshit procedure guaranteed to be gamed to benefit losing candidates that can suddenly win.
Scotus should have killed this RCV scheme and the stupid all party blanket primaries as well which are equally susceptible for rigging.

BREAKING: The DOJ’s “Operation Ghostbusters” has flagged 830,840 potentially fraudulent federal student aid IDs, tied to nearly $130 million, in a scheme that allegedly used stolen American identities to enroll fake “ghost students” and send the aid money to Kenya.
5 charged, $32M+ in confirmed losses so far, $750K+ in crypto seized, and DOJ estimates the total fraud since 2021 at well over $200 million.

Trying to figure out how this would work.
So... if it's federal student aid, it has to be disbursed through a university. The university gets its cut (tuition, fees) before the remainder is ever given to the student, after classes start.
If the student withdraws from the university before the drop deadlines... I don't know if that money is refunded to the student or handed back to the Feds. Probably refunded to the student.
So I guess they wouldn't need the willing cooperation of a university, or they could have made up their own school.

Maybe so, but it's not. Politicians are legally allowed to lie to the public. Always have been. Unless they lie under oath - perjure themselves - they are in the clear. The only punishment possible is at the ballot box.

Speculation on X is that the scheme originated at the DSCC which means Democrat sitting senators are possibly at risk from an investigation. With Elias involved, that makes it a national scheme, not just a local story.
So they detonated the landmine to blow up Peltola to save the rest of it. Possibly Dems have already given up on that race anyway from stats. Peltola is supposedly running well behind what is necessary for Dems on Rez voters.
Blowback may also sink the Democrat candidate for AK Governor and right now all the pols in AK are running away from this stinkbomb.

Polling in AK is worthless more or less due to RCV voting and how it works. Plus you can refuse to put any other votes in your ranking which makes the second and third rounds where you add in second and third ranked choices difficult to predict. That is why RCV is junk as a voting standard.

204 >>>To say that there were as many socialists in the United States in the 1960s as the 2020s is idiocy, and the reason we have so many more socialists today is because, once again, by the 1990s the educators of America let the freak flag fly and turned the brainwashing machine up to 11.
The result is the DSA doing a hostile takeover of the Democrat party, something they tried and failed to do in the 1960s - 1970s because only the most radical people in the most radical cities would vote for a socialist in a primary.

FDR got the ball rolling in govt. schools. Side effects of WWII was a great relaxation (sigh of relief) all is well, and the GI bill. College professors subtly insinuating socialism to new masses of students.
Each successive graduating class a tiny bit more to the left than its predecessor. Each new batch of professors more left than before. Then, by the late sixties expressing itself en mass and embraced passively, reproduced exponentially and metastasized into the monster it is today.

I can absolutely understand being pissed at the do nothings in the Republican Senate.

DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin will hold a press conference in Dallas, TX at 4pm ET to announce the operation, which was called Lone Star Mission, and he will reveal some of the most egregious illegal aliens arrested during the operation.

I don't think any entity in history has had a civil war much like what we would be entering. Most civil wars are peasant vs peasant. We happened to have one that was American vs American, but it was still a damned nightmare.
This mess shaping up now though is basically Cowboys and Terrorists. And terrorists can't win a war, they can only fuck up someone else's Peace. Once the limiting agent is gone to keep the Cowboys from killing the Terrorists outright, no "rules of engagement" or "Fwendsh acwosh the aisle", then they'll flee into the woodwork and let America breath free for a couple generations until they're inevitably back once again. Maybe as commies. Maybe as rugfuckers. Maybe as something not yet invented. Who knows.

Becerra's flacid imitation of Joe Biden is hurting turnout in CA versus Hilton. Kliley who went technically independent but caucuses with the GOP is in a close race and might win. Daladao is also in a close race. Dunno about the Issa seat. That were several flips the Dems counted on in CA.
CA also has the gerrymander problem of when you maximize seats, you spread your voters too thin making a turnout more important in a marginal race.
Blake's stronger run in NY is shoring up Lawler and the candidate (Constantino I think) running for Stefanik's seat there in particular.
The importance of good GOP candidates for top line races like governor in blue states like NY and CA have downballot turnout effects for GOP in those states win or lose.

In the cities, sure -- the RTP area, Charlotte and Asheville.
It is the usual city / country split.
Why do you thing that Slow Joe and his minions were moving all the best and brightest who came here illegally into rural areas in the dead of night? Demographic homogenization, as it were.

Daniel S. Sullivan: legit R, current Senator
Daniel A. Sullivan: legit R, former Anchorage mayor. Not running for anything this time. Has endorsed Daniel S. A bit of a prick, based on my personal interactions with him, but not fake.
Daniel J. Sullivan: fake D-controlled ringer
Moral: if your name is something like Sullivan, name your kid Marmaduke or whatever if you think he might go into politics.

Easy, if real Senator Sullivan wins in AK, he changes his first name to Senator. As in the earlier thread, we now have a General Admiral USA. So why not Senator Sullivan who is a senator.

The importance of good GOP candidates for top line races like governor in blue states like NY and CA have downballot turnout effects for GOP in those states win or lose.
Posted by: whig at October 29, 2026 03:54 PM (E4rtv)

Long story short:
Probably not enough.
All estimates of the House assume CA maxes out for Dems. GOP could have gotten 5 or so more seats from redistricting in certain places that would have probably gotten them right to a fairly certain, and very bare, majority.
So, it'll be down to like a dozen coinflips to see who manages a caucus with a majority of about 5 or so.

A lot of sewing does not get done in there.
I am going to sort and get this done! Then do some other stuff and wrap like a lunatic in a week or so and be done. I have roses to prune and I want this all done as well.
Note: I rarely wrap Christmas gifts til a week prior to Christmas after they've lurked in a room (for months) we have to lock if they visit.

Yesterday, I had a colleague develop an entire eCommerce website, from nothing other than a bunch of scanned PDFs of parts catalogs from the 90's and early 2000's ... in an hour. It's fully functional, graphically sharp and modern, and capable of accepting live orders right now.
He used a network of AI agents. He owns his own software company - except he has no employees. He has an org chart made up of solely AI agents - at the top is an AI Agent called "Chief of Staff" which coordinates all of the subordinate AI Agents. All of them. Claude, Grok, OpenAI... multiple accounts on each platform. Each working independently but coordinated by a literally agent org-chart.
Imagine someone using a system like that to compromise systems. Nothing is safe anymore. I'm actually contemplating taking all of my money out of the bank and burying it under a rock in the back yard.

I don't see a contradiction. GOP has to hold as many of these seats they already have to versus the ones they lost. Bad candidates for governor in CA and NY make it harder to hold seats like Stefanik's in NY or Issa's in CA.
It is a turnout game now as polling and prediction markets are going to give way to facts on the ground as to votes outstanding, votes remaining, holding serve on ticketsplitting, etc.
Watching blue tsunami dreams die bit by bit with each new voter drop and the Dems version of Steiner will come is that yutes under 40 will storm the polls in the last of EV or Election Day. Which contradicts all past history of their voting behavior.
Ohio has voters under 40 at about 12 percent of votes so far. Overwhelmingly Gen X and Boomers voting.

They're a type of Eskimo (not, repeat NOT "Inuit"), and don't usually use the word "tribe", so as to avoid being confused with Indians/"Native Americans". I think the feds may use "tribe".
Alaska has two major types of Eskimo, Yupik and Iñupiat.
The Iñupiat are fairly close to the Canadian Inuit, but don't usually call themselves that.
The Yupik do NOT like being called "Inuit".
The languages are in the same family, but quite distinct.
Historically the two groups did not get along.
At all.
Calling a Yupik "Inuit" is sort of like insisting that a Spaniard is "French" just because they both speak a Romance language... in other words, it's the kind of thing that might get your ass kicked.
Stupid white Canadians have spread the idiocy that all Eskimos are "Inuit". Wrong, wrong, wrong.
Both groups also hate being called "Indians" and the Alaska Indian tribes (there are a bunch of them) detest being called "Eskimos" with the burning fury of a thousand suns.
Unless you're SURE what an Alaska Native is, it's safest to just use the word "Native".

Posted by: Sharpie
Senate is probably GOP 52-54 seats. House is about a dozen or so. Seth Keshel has it at about GOP at about 212-213, Dems at 210-2011, tossups at 11-13. As TJM said, flip a coin but no sign of massive Dems gains in votes cast so far. Election will be older and whiter electorate as young people are just not showing up and have at best 2-3 days of EV left and Election Day which is always predominately GOP as much as 60-40 in places like Ohio.
Contest becomes a math race to chase votes--Dems voted early as they tend to do via mail or first EV days, then GOP catches up with later days of EV and Election Day being dominated by GOP votes. So you get into the weeds of low propensity, primary voting or not, past presidential voting or not, past midterm voting or not, etc.
GOP is running a much better turnout model this year than previous and focusing on rural voter turnout

I admit to like a play on words. I think I'd have been hauled off a long time ago if I acted like I thought.
So far, my thought bubbles are hidden in airports and in public. God help me if AI figures this out and I'm lassoed and hauled in for reprogramming.
What's bad is that my dude and sons know in advance what I'm thinking in public and try to stay ahead of it.
Baby son and I could not sit next to each other in church for many years due to reading thoughts in our eyes. He's the most like me whose DNA was passed down from my father.
Our eldest granddaughter is his little clone and is the same way. Her laugh is mine and we are in bad shape if something happens in church now. Where we do try to behave (my late father's instruction to me until he died. It was all he asked of me was to try to behave).

Bernadette is Aleut. So, yeah, Native. She's also Wally Hickel's granddaughter, which makes her Alaskan royalty, politically. She doesn't brag on any of that. She just gets to work.
And BTW, there are Yupik and Cupik. They are not the same. The Athabaskans chased the Yupiks out of the area that is now Eklutna a few hundred years ago, so they went into Cupik land farther west. Yupiks and Cupiks know the difference, but nobody else can keep them straight.
Meanwhile JKT and Murkowski dress up like Natives to pander. I can't figure out why that is any different than wearing blackface, honestly. Both are whiter than a halibut belly.

I’ve been red pilled, black pilled, white pilled, clear pilled. All the pills.
I don’t even know which one this is, but it’s one of the strongest ones I’ve had in a long long time. The desperation in his voice. You can see the sight of his kids in his eyes when he says he’s supposed to be home with them. You can see the math he’s doing in his head as he calculates how much money he has left, and how much he needs for his mortgage, and when it’s due.
What the hell is the American dream anymore? Is this what it’s about? Is there anyone who would say this guy isn’t working his ass off? For what? So that 25% of his income can go to a government that wastes it on a bunch of shit he didn’t vote for? Subsidizing the food he stocks grocery stores with for people who don’t work a 1,000th of how hard he works to buy groceries with EBT cards that he pays for, which then drives up the cost of groceries for him and his family that he pays for out of his paycheck because he’s doing it the right way.
This entire system is shit. It’s shit. There is no nicer way to put it. It is dog. shit.

Actually, for Senate races, it takes a whole lot more of a shift for that to happen.
Senate races drive up turnout to reflect overall PVI of the state.
Which is why no state has gone 10+ one party in the presidential to the other party winning the senate race in the next midterm since 2006 (2006 was a VERY bad GOP year, and Tester got in in Montana).
Didn't happen in 2010, 2014, or 2018, all wave years.
And that's what needs to happen to get KS, IA, OH, TX, and AK to flip.

Closer to a genocide than a chase, as I've heard it, and it happened long before Whitey came on the scene.
Then there was the charming habit the Tlingit had of enslaving other tribes. They used to run slave raids as far south as California. They even enslaved a few white sailors as I recall.
The last slaves freed in what is now the United States were the ones held by the Tlingit, who became free when the Alaska purchase from Russia became finalized on October 18, 1867, more than two years after the U.S. Civil War ended.
So put that in "Juneteenths" pipe and smoke it.

Prank the guy, then prank him again before he realizes what's going on but now he's actually $10 up, and you go on your merry prankster way while he's still wondering what the heck just happened and $10 richer.

Yeah but in their RCV primary, you have to get at least in the top four of vote getters to proceed to the general election. Last time I checked, TN was the easiest to get on the general presidential ballot required a small number of petition signers and very lenient standards. One election, I think they had over thirty or so candidates for President.

2) Lots of money sloshing around a small population - oil money, green money. Environmentalists use Alaska to bulk up their coffers by opposing stuff. We are also a "cheap date", only one large metro area with half the population, meaning you can get a lot of eyeballs to see your ads for very little money. We also have a initiative process, whereby the constitution can be changed via vote of the people. Spend a few bucks, and change it.

Moliere would have literally written a classic comedic farce with this storyline. So would several of the Romans like Juvenal.

Wait wut? Is this for real? What was she "filming"??? You mean this whole thing is a viral marketing stunt perpetrated by a pyschopath and facilitated by a giant corporation who has Susan Rice as a board member?

YEP. And, OPEN PRIMARY, so independents get to vote for the R and Ds nominees. Rs are stupid, so they just let anyone run. Ds push anyone out of the race but their preferred candidates. Oh and 60% of the state is registered independent. Then they added ranked choice voting - so you have four Rs on the ballot, and one D. D gets 100% of the D vote (maybe 20%), then the ranked choice bullshit covers the rest. Rs all split the vote. It's never just a two-way contest.

"Illinois Man" of No Apparent Political Leaning Sends Hoax Anthrax Letters to Four Members of Congress; Quickly Arrested by the FBI
At least on political affiliation the leftwing Democrat Propaganda Media is willing to report.
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. -- A 37-year-old Illinois man is charged with sending threatening letters to members of Congress containing a white powder, including one with a note reading "HAH enjoy the gift," according to federal court records. The criminal complaint unsealed Monday claims Matthew Ungelsbee sent at least four plain white envelopes with a powdery substance to elected officials in Chicago. They were postmarked in Springfield, Illinois, on Oct. 19 and had Unglesbee's name handwritten in the return address section. Unglesbee, of Quincy in southwestern Illinois, is charged with mailing threatening communications and perpetrating a hoax... FBI agents interviewed Unglesbee at his home on Sunday and he told them all the letters contained salt, court records show. He claimed he'd sent the letters after hearing someone talk about similar mailings in the news earlier this month. Testing confirmed the white substance was not dangerous. The records did not identify the substance. A motive was unclear. But Unglesbee said he knew the congress members would "take it serious" because the powder might be perceived as anthrax, which he knew was dangerous and could prompt a response by hazmat teams, according to the complaint. "Unglesbee claimed he was joking but recognized the recipients would not know he was joking and could perceive it as a threat," the complaint stated. ... The investigation began after an anonymous tipster reported overhearing Unglesbee in a restaurant talking about mailing a suspicious substance to members of Congress. The tip was received Oct. 16, and the FBI tracked Ungelsbee down after the envelopes arrived at the congressional offices days later.The failure to state his political affiliation is interesting because you know if he were a Republican, it would be mentioned in the first paragraph. And the second paragraph. And the third paragraph. And then it would be missing from most of the fourth paragraph but make a last-minute 11th hour appearance in the last sentence. But there's no mention of any party registration. This guy says that your suspicions about that are completely accurate:

Registered Democrat Facing Federal Charges After Mailing Hoax White Powder to Multiple Members of Congress A 37-year-old Quincy, Illinois man identified as Matthew Unglesbee faces federal charges for allegedly mailing threatening letters containing a suspicious white substance to multiple Illinois members of Congress. Reports indicate that Unglesbee is a registered Democrat in Adams County, Illinois. The federal investigation initiated after the FBI received an anonymous tip from an individual who overheard Unglesbee discussing the letters at a restaurant. In videos published to social media prior to his arrest, Unglesbee spoke explicitly to fellow Democrats, saying, "Let's flip the House and the Senate Democrat" and urging people to vote to change policies. Despite these statements, his specific actions targeted Democratic congressional offices, creating severe disruptions that prompted emergency law enforcement and hazardous materials responses. Envelopes were delivered to the offices of Senator Tammy Duckworth, Representative Mike Quigley, Representative Jan Schakowsky, and Representative Brad Schneider. Subsequent laboratory analysis determined that the enclosed white powder consisted of harmless table salt, accompanied by handwritten notes reading "Haha" or "Ha enjoy the gift". During interviews with federal investigators, Unglesbee reportedly admitted to sending the items as a copycat action. He acknowledged that recipients would likely perceive the substance as dangerous materials like anthrax and experience concern for their personal safety. Court records show that Unglesbee has an extensive criminal background, including previous convictions for child sexual assault, impersonating law enforcement, and threatening a local police chief. He is currently listed as a registered sex offender.

The Canton Police Department in Georgia said Tuesday that three people have been arrested in connection to a foiled plot to shoot up a school next year after the FBI reportedly spotted social media posts regarding the plot. The FBI notified Cherokee High School in Canton of the plot after seeing "threatening social media posts," and the school notified local police, according to the Associated Press. Cherokee was the alleged intended target of the shooting, which arrest warrants claimed was scheduled to take place next August. The arrest warrants identified two of the suspects as 17-year-old Shane Keith Taylor and 21-year-old Michael Brandon Terry, who allegedly reached an agreement with an unidentified juvenile suspect to provide weapons and had planned outfits and discussed buying body armor, video cameras and combat boots. Taylor is considered an adult under Georgia law. It is not clear how the suspects know each other, and the third suspect, who is still a minor, has not been identified. However, he was arrested on Oct. 20 and is tied to the town. Cherokee County School District Superintendent Mary Elizabeth Davis reassured parents in a video message that local and federal law enforcement had successfully disrupted the plot, but acknowledged the terror of the planned attack.

The newscaster said "it is very hard to identify who mailed the letter." No it's really not with all the cameras floating around and an ID quickly given from the box it was posted from. Which is why I don't post stuff like flaming dog turds to Congress (I also don't want to fool with flaming dog turds, even on a bad day).
I guess, in his fabulous thinking (say this like you need an adenoidectomy) he thought, "Duh, if I send this to Dims they will think a MAGA sent it!" Der! *cuts a squirrel killer*
I doubt it sent people flying to ED's like the real anthrax wahoo of 2001. The ED where I worked finally posted a sign at triage that said, "These are the symptoms of anthrax (listed them). You probably were never exposed, however, we will see you once you've been triaged." This is paraphrased, but I'm telling you that there were a LOT of people coming to the ED scared...and we were over 2hrs away. Probably a lot of gheys showed up thinking, "monkeypox" when it was a zit.
Granted it was 2001 and we were all waiting post 9/11 for the other shoe to fall.

Seriously? You don't need combat boots to shoot up a school; tennies would work just fine. Ditch the flip-flops, sure. But to say, "Oh no Chuck Taylors aren't good enough, I need combat boots for traction on.. uh.. pavement and manicured lawns," you're just trying to look cool. And if that's your real goal, you could just get the boots and not shoot anyone; it's perfectly allowed.

Until about 10 years ago, I never encountered adult rhotacism (baby talk) in people of otherwise normal intelligence. Since that time, I started seeing it both on the internet, and with young adults and teenagers in meatspace.
Speech therapists notice it too, and treat it as some big mystery. I think it's obviously of a piece with the general loss of ability in younger people to hold normal conversations, maintain eye contact, follow nonverbal social cues, and so forth - they're regressing in communication skills because of the phones.

First off, I’m not a Boomer by about a decade and a half.
Second, no matter how high taxes were or old people getting a pension, our public schools and universities went full leftwing starting in the 90s after the fall of the Soviet Union, Bill Ayers, among hundreds of thousands of other ‘educators’ across the world, made it their missions to turn Millennials, and every generation afterwards, into full-fledged socialists from kindergarten on up.

The reason she was popular - for some version of popular - was because she just said the obvious.
Mel Brooks did. More shocking, really. And the friggin' 80s and 90s went on a mini-version of now and tried to stop that. PMRC and all that.
Madonna got credit for at least saying, bluntly, what we were all thinking.

🚨BREAKING: President Trump PARDONED Bevelyn Williams, the pro-life advocate sentenced to 41 months in federal prison for her actions outside a Manhattan abortion clinic. Her conviction under the FACE Act came from preaching, praying on the sidewalk, and blocking access to the entrance during a protest in which a staff member claimed a hand injury.
Williams had served only a few months of that sentence when the pardon was issued. The clemency also freed 22 other activists convicted under the same law for similar protests at abortion clinics — cases where prayer and direct efforts to prevent abortions were treated as federal crimes punishable by years in prison, while attacks on pregnancy resource centers went largely unprosecuted.
The pardon makes clear that defending the unborn should not be a jailable offense. Religious expression and peaceful opposition to abortion should be protected, not singled out for federal prosecution.

Oh, I got a history expert who wants to dunk on Boomers and still calls people Slick.
Let’s see, history Biff. Socialism in its most basic form has been around for oh, about three hundred years, Marxism around 180 years.
Due to Fabianism it has slowly crept into every government on the planet over that time.
Were the 1960s as socialist as the 1860s?
In Europe maybe, but mot in the USA.
To say that there were as many socialists in the United States in the 1960s as the 2020s is idiocy, and the reason we have so many more socialists today is because, once again, by the 1990s the educators of America let the freak flag fly and turned the brainwashing machine up to 11.
The result is the DSA doing a hostile takeover of the Democrat party, something they tried and failed to do in the 1960s - 1970s because only the most radical people in the most radical cities would vote for a socialist in a primary.

FDR got the ball rolling in govt. schools. Side effects of WWII was a great relaxation (sigh of relief) all is well, and the GI bill. College professors subtly insinuating socialism to new masses of students.
Each successive graduating class a tiny bit more to the left than its predecessor. Each new batch of professors more left than before. Then, by the late sixties expressing itself en mass and embraced passively, reproduced exponentially and metastasized into the monster it is today.

But of course to the tax-sucking, Pritzker ball-lickers, anything south of Cook County is downstate.
As I have repeatedly advocated:
1) Separate Cook County in its entirety from the rest of Illinois.
2) Shove it 50 miles out into Lake Michigan.
3) No contact.

Madison Cornbread Is the Latest Beneficiary of Corrupt DC Democrat Jury Nullification
Democrats have been rigging juries for decades, refusing to convict any Democrat politicos and throwing the absolute book out of any poor Republicans caught in James Comey's dragnet.
Madison Cornbread is the latest Democrat partisan let off the hook by No One Is Above the Law DC juries:The Washington Post
@washingtonpost Breaking news: A grand jury rejected the DOJ's attempt to indict former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson for the account she gave lawmakers of President Trump's actions during the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, according to people familiar with the matter.
Shipwreckedcrew
@shipwreckedcrew 18h This is why they took the case with the 2 FBI Agents before a Magistrate judge yesterday. The DC Grand Juries are going to nullify any noteworthy case they hear.
Hans Mahncke
@HansMahncke Oct 28 One of the most important priorities of the past two years should have been to break Washington DC's monopoly over the adjudication of virtually anything that can be connected to the capital, however remotely. The system is totally dysfunctional and fundamentally unfair, whereby anyone who is not a Democrat has no chance of receiving a fair hearing, let alone justice, while Democrats themselves are completely shielded from accountability. That was painfully clear during Trump's first term, became even more glaring with the January 6 prosecutions, and was illustrated yet again by travesties such as the grotesque $1 million judgment against Mark Steyn for criticizing climate change "research." The constitutional promise of a fair trial and jury of one's peers is completely meaningless in DC for anyone who is not on the far left. None of this is new. Many of us have been warning about this problem for years and proposing various ways to address it. Yet, predictably, absolutely nothing has been done, and nothing will be done.
Skeptical StoicThe DSA is hosting "trainings" where they teach their communist insurrectionists to vote against the clear weight of evidence in favor of the left and always against the right.
@StoicSkeptic
In case you want to know how bad things really are... For the last several years, left-wing activist groups have hosted information and training sessions for prospective jurors in DC. This is part of an organized effort to nullify the DC jury pool in order to give Democrats and their allies in DC de facto immunity for politically motivated crimes while subjecting anyone they suspect of being a political opponent to a "guilty until proven innocent" standard. It's a complete perversion and total inversion of what the justice system in this country is supposed to be, but Democrats care more about protecting Democrats and hurting Republicans than they care about the justice system, let alone the country. No doubt Democrats and the legacy media (but I repeat myself) would be wailing like banshees on crystal meth if the situation were reversed.
The U.S. House Oversight and Government Reform Committee announced it is investigating "left-wing activist groups in the District of Columbia" who allegedly provide jury nullification initiatives to teach potential jurors how to influence the outcomes of criminal cases and acquit criminals.But not a single Republican will propose a law granting prosecutors or defendants the right to change venues in politically-sensitive cases in venues where the last election went by more than 58% (say) for one party. Republican corporate clockpunchers continue living in fantasy, high on nostalgia for a country that stopped existing by 2008. Now they're escalating, preparing How To Guides for jury corruption.
"Free DC, in coordination with Harriet's Wildest Dreams, has held jury nullification training sessions to instruct potential jurors in how to navigate juror vetting and subvert lawful prosecutions in the District of Columbia," wrote House Oversight Chairman James Comer. "Leaders at these public sessions brazenly declared radical intentions. At an August 12 training, Qiana Johnson, who serves on the Board of Harriet's Wildest Dreams and is a 'conductor of legal defense' for the organization, told attendees, '[y]ou have this superpower, and that superpower is you are able to nullify that goddamn jury. In conducting these trainings, your organization is blatantly facilitating the violation of the constitutional right to an impartial jury and undermining the rule of law in the District."
In a letter to Free DC Executive Director Keya Chatterjee and Harriet's Wildest Dreams Board Member and Former Co-Conductor Qiana Johnson, Comer raised concerns that "they are training activists to conceal their biases during jury selection, infiltrate juries, and acquit criminals based on political agendas rather than the law and evidence. Chairman Comer is requesting all documents and communications related to their jury nullification training sessions, coordination with outside partners, and funding."
The Oversight Committee added in a new release that, "these sessions instructed activists to falsely present themselves as unbiased and conceal their ties to prison abolitionist groups during jury selection. Free DC has also publicly touted its juror training efforts as a source of power to halt prosecutions. Free DC is fiscally sponsored by organizations financed by left-wing dark money groups that also support other entities conducting jury nullification workshops." "It is clear that the position of Free DC and Harriet's Wildest Dreams is that potential jurors should not make decisions impartially based on applying the law as instructed to the facts presented before them in the case, but based on their subjective, personal beliefs and activist agendas."
The plan reaches into GRAND JURIES.
It describes educating community members to: “reject improper prosecutions when serving on grand juries” For investigations used to pressure unlawful compliance, it prescribes immediate framing as intimidation aimed at overturning an election.— Natalie Winters (@nataliegwinters) October 28, 2026

to knowingly violate the Espionage Act.

>>>Honestly asking, but what exactly do you do here? They are trying to prosecute, but unless we change who lives in DC, seems a hard problem to solve. I literally just said: People are allowed to ask for changes of venues if the local juries can be shown to be overly prejudiced against the defenders. Trials for notorious murderers are routinely held a few counties away from the scenes of the crimes for this reason. What I am proposing is a rule that recognizes, in cases involving political figures, that having a jury pool that is 58% or more tilted to one party counts as "overly prejudiced" and removal to a more balanced venue is authorized.

The rememdy is to pass a law that closes the DC district court (aka where normal federal crimes go) and to state that all federal felony crimes that used to be tried in DC district court will now be tried on a rotating basis in any of the other district courts in the US through a lottery assignment system.

Singapore did away with jury trials because none of the minority groups would convict someone from "their" side.
it may be that jury trials must turn into merely a question of whether the facts are correct and founded, and if the logic is reasonable, not on guilt.
The one trial I had to sit through was really long on pathos, involving a serial wife beater who's victims were doing meth along with the defendant, and not so long on actual evidence which both parties actively participated in destroying.

Probably very hard to get on the basis that "based on prior verdicts, the jurors in this town clearly are biased hacks," so the political affiliation rule might work. How do you do it? Voter registration records?

Seems like the obvious reaction would be to charge each offense individually, let the DC Grand Jury waste time nullifying that charge, then file another charge for an offense that happened at the same time. Rinse and repeat.
Gum up the works with a bunch of separate charges, rather than trying to get indictments all at once.

Amendment VI
In all criminal prosecutions, . . ., by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, . . .
---
This was put into the Bill of Rights due to the British taking Americans beyond the colonies to either Halifax for trial or even to London to prevent pro Americans in the colonies from being able to acquit on the jury.
Easiest way by statute is to abolish DC or restrict it just to the Mall and Capitol so that most crimes by bureaucrats, etc. would be tried elsewhere. Cede the rest of it to Maryland.
Although, I suppose you could create a new capital district in some other place and then return the lands to Maryland of the existing DC. Keep the old buildings as a federal national historic monuments with ceremonial meetings only like Independence Hall.

Agree. Frankly I prefer Congress to be distributed back to their home states or at least the House.
But an easy fix for Congress on committee hearings with witnesses that tell Democrat lies is to hold the committee meetings out of DC. Well within the rules and has been done on occasion already. Having committee fact finding committees meeting outside the Beltway is a lot more 'inclusive' than having the same tired interest group reps spout off canned talking points.
In a government of 300 million plus, we have to reduce the distance (and thus insulation) between our decision makers and common citizens.

See Footnote 4 of Carolene Products case (United States v. Carolene Products Co. (193

🚨 BREAKING: US federal agents across several agencies are raiding multiple sites across the Twin Cities in MN RIGHT NOW in an apparent fraud investigation ahead of JD Vance's visit tomorrow
THIS site has BROKEN GLASS, and it's LICENSED by the State of Minnesota! 🤯
HHS OIG, FBI, IRS and the Medicaid Control Unit are involved
HERE WE GO! JD VANCE comes to MN TOMORROW.
One of the recent targets is Iska Inc. in St. Louis Park, a disability therapy and social services agency. Agents were spotted outside with a front window smashed in
Tomorrow, JD Vance lands in St. Cloud with the White House fraud task force to make a major "War on Fraud" announcement
Tim Walz had YEARS to stop this. The Trump administration is actually doing it and that's what I voted for 🇺🇸
Trump at a rally this week said major fraud investigations are happening in Minnesota. It's all crashing down.

Bill of Rights gives defendants the power to challenge venue, not government. The real problem is that the Democrats have been allowed to create a rotten borough in DC of judges. The response of the GOP should be create a bunch of new judges and pack the court there. Or create a National Court of Appeals dealing with conflicts between the circuits or to do cert.
Abolishing DC as a federal district and returning the land to Maryland would be another option--no more Dem ran DC Circuit and no potential to create a new Democrat state with two senators.
Fedgov already gave back the Virginia portion of DC in the 1840's.

They've moved some offices, not departments out of DC already and usually the DC types either retire or seek employment at another federal agency. Hasn't really affected the output of the offices. I think Bureau of Land Management and a USDA office have been moved out of DC by Trump to the shrieking and wails of DC denizens.

Yep. I think Scotus blew that one myself. And that is because Buckley v. Valeo which Citizens United did not overrule, is bad law equating money with speech. So Buckley created this wonky balancing test that allowed money given to politicians was protected by the 1st Amendment but yet could be regulated because it had the option to corrupt. That meant that wealthy individuals could spend all they wanted (or borrow to be paid by after winning) but others were bound to campaign limits on contributions. The justification is that wealthy individuals could not be corrupted by contributing to themselves and thus their First Amendment rights to speech would be quelled.

The Police had a more reggae/ska sound and The Cars were more of a Punk-Pop act, in my view.
The Police were more popular in the early to mid-80s for sure, but The Cars for their first few albums were popular, too.
If you turned on the radio in the mid-80s for several hours you were just as likely to hear The Cars as The Police.

MAGA was the last, best hope for a genuine grassroots political movement to form a third party and break the grip of these DC bastards on the rest of us. But, the clock has run on out on MAGA. It has nowhere to go from here.
Now, this kind of thing is what we're going to get as long as we're in this ridiculous federation. It's DC's plaything and we're stuck with it. 350 million people at the mercy of a handful of buttfucking Communist elites.
So I've moved on to the obvious next (last) play: secessionism.
Given that I want to carry through an unconstitutional State usurpation of federal power, I think that NPV compact is the template.
Set an arbitrary number of States - I think 13 is a good number, as a nod to our amazing forebears. Once 13 States pass it, it triggers. In the meantime, while waiting for the laggards, signatories focus their resources on maximizing the size and power of their National Guards, and reforming infrastructure in preparation for border closure.
By the time it happens, the federal government will be in deep shit without *any* material preparation on the part of the rebellious States, but that's no excuse for sitting around.

Trump had actively blocked her from joining the team in Palm Beach but she remained for nine additional weeks on GSA's WH transition payrolls working in VA.
Later, U.S. taxpayers funded Cassidy Hutchinson’s private security detail for approximately six months, spanning from immediately after her public testimony in late June 2022 until the House January 6th Committee officially disbanded at the end of December 2022.
She's quite the connection for the aray of investigations & punishments.

Which account?
Vice Chair Liz Cheney was her primary institutional champion. Critics argue that Cheney used the committee's official congressional budget to insulate and shield Hutchinson, creating a protective environment where her late-stage, uncorroborated "recollections" could be safely added into the record without immediate pushback from other White House staff.
In the end, proving Hutchinson deliberately fabricated her testimony, rather than just misremembering secondhand details, carried too high a legal burden for an indictment, so they say.

NYT: An Obama-Era Investigation Concluded That Ilhan Nur Said Elmi Entered Into a "Sham Marriage" With Her Likely Brother (But Dropped the Investigation, Of Course)
This is all just a big Right Wing Conspiracy Theory and RUSSIAN Disinformation Campaign, H8rz.
"Some evidence" = "literally all of the evidence so we dropped it like a hot potato so we could later say 'we reached no firm conclusions'"
Several current and former law enforcement officials said an Obama-era investigation found some evidence that Ms. Omar had entered into a sham marriage with a man suspected of being her brother. The federal investigation of Representative Ilhan Omar is focused in part on whether she entered into a sham marriage in 2009 to help a man suspected of being her brother obtain a green card, according to current and former officials familiar with the matter. The F.B.I. and Department of Homeland Security investigated the marriage in summer 2016, during the Obama administration, and found some evidence that it was fraudulent, current and former officials said.
Speculation that Ms. Omar committed marriage fraud with a brother has shadowed the Minnesota Democrat's political career for more than a decade and President Trump repeated the accusation last week. She has long called it a right-wing conspiracy theory that federal officials debunked during her first race for elected office in 2016. But that case stalled chiefly because prosecutors concluded that the potential crime, a felony, fell outside a five-year statute of limitations, according to the current and former officials, most of whose law enforcement careers spanned several presidential administrations.When Ilhan Nur Said Elmi answered the question "did you marry your brother?" with the answer "not to my knowledge," it immediately struck me that she might have been counseled to avoid directly lying, because a lie could be said to be a continuation of the original conspiracy which would therefore extend the statute of limitations clock. I didn't mention it because it seemed too speculative. But given that Ilhan Nur Said Elmi must have known she was investigated by Obama's DHS and FBI, and given that she was surely warned by Obama that she could face potential consequences, maybe it's not such a big speculation to say she's avoiding saying things that could be argued to re-start the statute of limitations clock.
Now the Trump administration, whose top leaders have long reviled Ms. Omar, has revived the scrutiny as one element of a sprawling investigation into the Omar family's journey to the United States as refugees from war-torn Somalia. At issue is her marriage in 2009, when she was already a U.S. citizen, to Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, a British citizen whom she divorced in 2017.See, it's not that No One Is Above the Law or that cheaters and immigration fraudsters should face justice -- no, it's all about Trump "reviling" this poor immigrant stronk empowered black Muslim woman and daughter of a schoolteacher. Be better, Trump. #BeBetter. Democrats are "distancing themselves" from this smelly pirate hooker.
Dozens of House Democrats are keeping their distance from Rep. Ilhan Omar as the Minnesota "Squad" rep faces a federal investigation -- even as party leaders rally behind her and demand that the Trump administration back off. A letter led by Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) and signed by 175 House Democrats accused the Justice Department and the Department of Homeland Security of weaponizing law enforcement against Omar, whose Washington DC home was searched by federal agents earlier this month. Around 40 Democrats declined to sign the letter from the 214-member caucus.Trump was seeking re-election as the real president of the United States and Democrats charged him with four absurd non-crimes and arrested him. I thought No One Is Above the Law. No? Was I misinformed?
"Congresswoman Omar is seeking reelection in Minnesota's 5th congressional district in just one week. News of the search warrant, whether properly predicated or not, could affect voters' decisions, which is exactly why federal law enforcement should not engage in such conduct when voters are casting their ballots. This type of interference strips Minnesotans of their right to a free and fair election guaranteed to them under the Constitution," the letter states.
However, a number of House Democrats declined to sign the letter, a notable show of distance from Omar, who has frequently drawn controversy over her outspoken criticism of Israel and other positions on foreign policy. Among the lawmakers who didn't sign were Reps. Tom Suozzi, Laura Gillen and Josh Gottheimer, who all represent a district in either New York or New Jersey, where political calculations could make embracing Omar a liability. Rep. Nancy Pelosi, the former Speaker of the House, also chose not to sign the letter even though current Democratic leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) did. Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, a Washington Democrat who represents a competitive district, also was not on the letter. Their absences suggest that while many Democrats are willing to defend Omar against what they characterize as a "politically motivated investigation," others may be wary of tying themselves to the progressive just days before Election Day.
Glenn Beck
@glennbeck Oct 27 We received an HSI memo from inside the administration revealing federal agents spent 8 months building a case on Ilhan "Omar" before ever knocking on her door. The leaked document requests her complete, unredacted passport history, targets potential federal violations for false passport statements and false claims of U.S. citizenship, and explicitly raises the prospect of civil denaturalization! That paper trail explains why two dozen federal agents walked out of her home with her phone, files, and her DNA, and why those grand jury subpoenas went out to her family. Now, is she going to be convicted, stripped of her citizenship, and deported? Proving this in a courtroom is still a major hill to climb. But if federal law enforcement actually has the receipts to back this memo up... OHHHHH BOY.

This all goes to the notion that, under democrats, the DOJ had too sole purposes, while they became a joke about true known wolf threats.

I don't know. Maybe setting up a money laundering operation through a fake winery, to clean fraud funds that were orchestrated through her state's benefits, and siphoning a portion back to the DNC and various other parties sypathetic to Obama's world stance. While simultaneously setting up a facet of Congress to push Socialist mantra.

Conservatives have been crying about this for damn near 10 years and have failed to produce a shred of evidence. Trust me, if they had it we’d have heard about it by now!
My money is they lied on the warrant which is why they are fighting to keep it sealed and are using this as an opportunity to smear dems going into the midterms. Huge push in Minnesota is Somali fraud and nearly every right wing media outlet is hammering the constituents nonstop with that narrative and of course Omar's investigation.

iirc it's about 80 but that's the threshold for retardation.
One may argue how valid this can be as they are able to meet basic needs to survive, although one might also wonder if there's any correlation between lower IQ and shithole culture.

Feminists have always been weird about this - remember they called Roy Moore a pedo for marrying a 24 year old when he was in his late 30s.
The left broadly has started calling everyone they don't like a pedo though because they believe the Epstein stuff hurt them in 2024. That's the simple reason. None of them actually believe it and if you pushed them on "Should any homosexual or trans adult be prosecuted for grooming a child" their answer would be hell no, that's a perfectly ok thing for an LGBTQ person to do

Since Thomas Dewey was smeared by Truman in 1948. The Democrats were coy about it but they have long tried to associate the GOP with fascism and Not Seeism by indirectly. GOP called the Democrats commies in return which in fact, a good percentage were such in the Democrat party.
No political theorist ever said that popular elections would turn on high principled grounds of debate. De Tocqueville thought it should be so but that was not the case even when he thought the US did (Federalists and Democrat party system).
Jefferson smeared Adams as a proto king and Federalists smeared Jefferson as a Jacobin.

For those who don't know, Roblox is a very popular game environment where people can create their own worlds and mini-games. It's poorly regulated and it's very popular with young kids with over 120 million active daily users.
Roblox has had a seedy pedo underbelly for a long time, but it's hidden enough and small enough that many parents either don't know it's there or think it won't affect their kid.
My son has never been allowed to be on Roblox. His peers were all on it and he asked to play many times. Fortunately his peers have moved on to other games and he doesn't ask anymore.

THEY’RE FROM THE GOVERNMENT AND THEY’RE HERE TO HELP: ‘Affordability’ Is A Trojan Horse For Democrats To Bring Back The Biden Years.
By “restore money that was improperly cut,” the Times means that Democrats will refuse to pass budget bills that don’t include funding for all the multibillion-dollar scam projects that help fund their cause, like USAID and every anti-American NGO. When they say “scientific research and disease prevention,” that’s what they’re referring to.

Too many of these activists nowadays for even billionaires to support now that AID is shut down. Billionaires operate using other people's money, not their own. Almost always, (Trump is a notable exception), they are cheapskates.
Regarding Soros, I always thought of him more an someone willing to be an open funding bundler to the left, useful to the CIA and other intel agencies for regime change as needed so funded, and using his civic foundations and pull to cause market fluctuations to make himself richer.
Dude believed in no one but himself--that is how he could seamlessly move from working for Not Sees, being a good little boy to get a visa from Hungary from the Commies which did not hand those out lightly, and so on. Now his mind has gone and he is rotting in human form in a mansion room waiting for death to release him.

New cell phone rule (allowing jamming) is likely causing huge "instability" in the prison population that has cell phones (the gangs).

The Morning Rant
Things are changing enough that CNN noted a drastic falloff of Jewish support for Democrats on the generic ballot in New York. Not that surprising since the New York Jewish vote tends to be some of the most traditional in the country. But the generic ballot usually trended Democrat because Democratic congressional candidates would try to appeal to Jews. We're now in the era of the actively antisemitic congressional candidate like Dariazila Avila Chevalier, who celebrated the Oct 7 attacks, Claire Valdez and their gruesome toady, Brad Lander. No surprise that Jewish support for the generic ballot is crashing. But a McLaughlin poll claims that overall Jewish support has flipped on the generic ballot.
I find it almost incomprehensible that any Jew, no matter how assimilated and contemptuous of his ancestral religion and culture would vote for those who support the destruction of the Jewish people. Are they finally waking up? Here's some of the data from the McLaughlin poll:
Among the voters in our survey:
- Protestants, who account for 38% of likely voters, favor Republicans for Congress by 51% to 43%, an 8-point advantage.
- Catholics, representing 24% of likely voters, favor Republicans by just 48% to 46%, a narrow 2-point margin.
- Evangelical Christians, who make up 29% of likely voters and overlap with other Christian categories, support Republicans by 56% to 37%, a strong 19-point advantage.
- Jewish voters, representing 4% of likely voters, favor Republicans by a striking 64% to 33%, a potential major shift from historical voting patterns.
Here is FrontPageMag again...
Do I buy that shift? I think the number of Jewish voters polled is too small to put too much weight on it. But the level of everyday antisemitism that has been normalized among leftists is mind-blowing. You don’t have to go far to see Goebbels degree rhetoric. It’s leaking into not just the internet, but social circles and everyday interactions. (This isn’t just limited to leftists, but Jews live in liberal areas and encounter liberals more than anyone else.) I think that there is a growing sea change. I suspect it’s not quite as extreme.
Yes, it is a small poll that is only a snapshot, and very possibly not indicative of a lasting trend, but it is certainly interesting. For a lasting shift to occur among American Jews, the inertia of 110 years of voting for leftist policies and candidates, popularly known as Democrats, would have to change. Rabid, open, obvious Jew-hatred might be the force that pushes American Jews to a more sane approach to their political support. It has been self-destructive for a century, and ignorant of reality; perhaps open discussion among the darlings of the left of American Judaism as intrinsically evil, and Israel as a illegitimate and dangerous country is finally being heard. Color me skeptical (you would understand if you met some of my relatives!), but even a small shift is important. [Crossposted at CutJibNewsletter and X/Twitter].

That's theologically impossible. Yeah I know I know..."No true Scottsman" fallacy. But nevertheless, one can't be "Catholic" and support demonic entities running on a platform of abortion-right-up-to-and-including-birth and then go participate in communion afterwards. I get that the current fake pope isn't going to call them out for it, but I don't understand why more of the local priests aren't willing to take a stand.

Short answer: I think so, yes. It would be interesting to see this broken down by age. I suspect the biggest shift to the right -- or, more accurately, away from the left -- among Jews this election cycle is younger Jews.
Why younger? Because they've seen first-hand the viciousness and destruction the left has for Israel and Jews in general. And unlike older Jews, the younger ones don't have mostly obsolete fears of the KKK, Nazis, and the classic anti-semites.
The older Jews just can't seem to shake these old fears, and have a harder time seeing the real threat: their fellow Democraps. The call is coming from inside the house.

These ethnic (and religious) polls are...issue filled.
Never mind the fact that progressives are more likely to actually go through the polling process which creates response bias issues, you have to get a lot of Catholics to get a representative sample. Which is difficult and expensive to do.
They're always...suspect.
I take the exit polling from 2024 with less of a grain of salt than any other polling in this area, and exit polls have their own issues.
So, I doubt the Catholic vote has shifted about 10 points to the left in the last 2 years.

Because "Jew" can be ethnic, cultural a/o religious. That Venn does have overlap but is not a circle.
Trump's daughter: a proselyte, not ethnic or cultural — a religious Jew.
Bernie Sanders: ethnic and to a much lesser extent cultural Jew, not religious.
The problem is cultural, not religious. The cultural part provides a Diaspora mindset and the concept of as a Chosen Race, according to Dennis Prager, has a duty to guide everyone else to fall in line with their understanding of how the world ought to be.
Cultural + Religious gives us the so-called Judeo-Christian ethic for as much as Free Will is compatible with Divine Providence. The duty to guide others into a monotheistic drive for righteousness is ideal for the US, anything less is Anti-American and is completely incompatible with a Western 18th Century Christian worldview.

My take:
Catholicism can be considered a "blue collar" congregation. Traditionally Democratic. Generally speaking, the ones who get out and vote are the older people - many who still subscribe to the Democratic Party they grew up with and continue to vote that way. Even when the Democratic Party has morphed into the DSA.

Depends on the theology.
Generally Speaking Roman Catholicism leans towards salvation through the Church. Due to its corporate nature, and the Second Chances concept of Purgatory, a Mob Fixer can perform a hit on the way to Mass and that is acceptable. So aborting children has its place in Rome.
This is in contrast to Confessional Christianity with a foundation within the Doctrines of Grace that, because of spiritual regeneration and sanctification would make it inconceivable for the Elect in Christ to vote for a pro-abortion candidate. The renewed mind finds that sin to be a characteristic of the unregenerated

No, it's a stupid (and potentially dangerous) prank by these loathsome toads calling themselves "influencers."
Notice they always pick on what they perceive as "soft" targets, usually women or older white guys (like this guy in the video).
They never pick on gangster-looking MMA guys or anyone big enough to fight back.

I agree with TJM,
On any survey of 'values', there is an obvious selection bias problem first---poll respondents have become a special class of their own while non respondents do not follow the same distribution of responses.
So any 'poll' is missing data and the missing data is not 'random' which makes any claims that a poll percentage is a true representation of the whole population, survey-able and nonsurvey-able.
Within those willing to be polled, you then have the problem of socially acceptable answers--in many social interactions, people fudge the truth and make their answers 'fit' what they expect the other person wants to hear. 'Values' questions are particularly sensitive to this sort of 'noise'. Classic example, non religious, is that polling repeated overstates those that claim to have voted or will vote. It is because nowadays, someone sensitive to social norms dislikes revealing that they did not vote while society has been pounded with the idea that they must vote.
You also see this problem with post election polling where invariably, a percentage claims falsely voting for the winner when they voted for the loser.

Catholicism can be considered a "blue collar" congregation. Traditionally Democratic. Generally speaking, the ones who get out and vote are the older people - many who still subscribe to the Democratic Party they grew up with and continue to vote that way. Even when the Democratic Party has morphed into the DSA.

They're Bush people. They want a polite aristocracy - where they're the nobles - and people bow as they pass. They want to replace Americans with foreigners because all of the social safety net is predicated on an ever growing population and foreigners, so they think, are more likely to accept the nobility of their betters than born Americans.
They were able to appear wise, and patriotic, briefly but then the Great Unmasker arrived on the scene.

My Dad voted Dem when he was younger, but started voting Rep in the 1950's due to his disagreements with Truman. His parents voted Dem, in general until they didn't (and now all three might be voting Dem again since they passed).

Nope, Erickson is controlled opposition and is globo homo. IRRC, he grew up overseas in the Persian Gulf as his dad was in the oil industry. Got prominence by becoming a Macon city councilman and claiming to be opposing the Muzzies back then. From there, he left political office to create a media online project with others, Peach Pundit IIRC. From that, he built Red State which he sold to Salem roughly in Trump I term and his Red State soiree for GOP presidential candidates in late 2015-16 had Erickson refuse to invite Trump, ostensibly because of the Megyn Kelly blood coming out her whatever comment. Really, it was because Erickson was GOPE to the core. He had a part time gig as commenter at CNN, about like Scott Jennings did back in the day, and lost that.
So this is a guy financially well off (unless an idiot with money) but he craves to be a mover and shaker. Giving its too late to run for office, he aims at media influence to become a king maker.

I think that watching the pattern over the years is instructive from an internal Catholic Church perspective. If the laity in the US is trending to the right, how does the USCCB react when the bishops seem to remain to the left?

My dad was 100% working class.
He grew up in abject poverty with the remnants of the Great Depression and believed (almost) all his life that Democrats were the party of the little people.
In the early 2000s (before he got Alzheimer's) he realized that the Democrats were no longer the party of the working man and didn't care about the "little people".
He was not a deep thinker. He didn't even graduate 8th grade. But he could see what was going on.
What does that say about the ones STILL voting for them as they've gotten far, far worse?

That is not for me to say and I would never say that. Jesus and the Father do eternal judgment, not me.
But despite considerable misfortune in my life, I never blamed the Lord for it. The very thought of it is repugnant to me personally as arrogance because it inverts the hierarchy. But Jesus forgives and cleanses whatever sins if you ask.
Just never diss the Holy Spirit though. Pretty clear in the Bible that is pretty much an unforgivable sin for whatever reason the Father and Son chose that to be.

I’ve been red pilled, black pilled, white pilled, clear pilled. All the pills.
I don’t even know which one this is, but it’s one of the strongest ones I’ve had in a long long time. The desperation in his voice. You can see the sight of his kids in his eyes when he says he’s supposed to be home with them. You can see the math he’s doing in his head as he calculates how much money he has left, and how much he needs for his mortgage, and when it’s due.
What the hell is the American dream anymore? Is this what it’s about? Is there anyone who would say this guy isn’t working his ass off? For what? So that 25% of his income can go to a government that wastes it on a bunch of shit he didn’t vote for? Subsidizing the food he stocks grocery stores with for people who don’t work a 1,000th of how hard he works to buy groceries with EBT cards that he pays for, which then drives up the cost of groceries for him and his family that he pays for out of his paycheck because he’s doing it the right way.
This entire system is shit.. . .

No, they were very leery of politically motivated religion. Especially politically motivated religion that could tell their politically powerful churches what the could and could not do.
Many of the colonies had an official church which was politically powerful in the colony. What they did not want was some sort of state religion that could be used to disenfranchise those churches in a power move, since they had already had to put up with that in England and they didn't enjoy it the first time.
(I was raised a Methodist, "Organized religion" always meant "those Presbyterians or whatever" so your definition may be different )

I put this on the priests/pastors/bishops of the Catholic Church. So worried about offending a parishioner (especially a wealthy one), that they'll never speak of the evils of abortion, etc.
I've seen 2 priests who came to the USA from Poland, went to a Polish Seminary in the upper midwest who have been removed from ministry. BS reasons provided, but it came down to they were hardcore, and the congregation was not. A few phone calls to the bishop, and they are removed from the parish.

I think that has much to do with the Diaspora mindset that says learn skills that can't be taken from you. Having a higher IQ in general and a culture that drills young minds into studious minds is a major plus.

No, Faith is not church. Briefly, it's faith in the salvific power of the risen Christ and the continuing presence of the Holy Spirit. You don't have to go to church to be a Christian. However, I went to church for years before I was ordained. I appreciated the preaching, the hymns, the beauty of the sanctuary, the Sacraments, the foundational words of Scripture and the fellowship with other believers who were on the same page theologically preaching. My world would be much lessened were I not part of a church community. And I'm not longer preaching except to the ladies at the monthly service at the nursing home (which is done as a volunteer, so it's not as if I making a haul from being a pastor.
And no, I don't want to argue about it.

Effective January 1, 2029, state agencies are required to provide an optional check-box for Jewish ethnicity on data collection forms (such as health, education, and social service forms).
The checkbox is completely optional & does not create a new legal protected class or alter religious classifications.
Will it help accurately count the state's roughly 1.2 million Jewish residents to better track healthcare needs, educational outcomes, and resources to combat antisemitism? Groups like Jewish Voice for Peace have raised concerns.

The whole postmodern idea that the Founders were Deist is overblown. A few might have been but the majority were not. As Kindltot noted, there were established state churches in the colonies (CofE in most, Congregationalist in MA (including ME at the time), and Maryland was founded Catholic.
What you might not have known is that Brits seriously considered at least twice, requiring installed bishops of the Church of England in the American colonies and mandating the colonies, whatever their existing church, be forced to be CofE as their official state religion. So you would have bans on Catholics in office mandated (some colonies had that), treating Congregationalists, Quakers, and Baptists as nonconformists under the law, and all other religions beliefs being taxed to support CofE institutions.

Pumpkin spice itself ain't bad. What makes it intolerable is in the context of halloween season where every damn thing is pumpkinized whether it makes sense or not. Pumpkin ale, pumpkin spam, pumpkin mac & cheese, and I have no doubt that somewhere out there at a WNBA game are pumpkin spiced dildos.

1) They considered themselves a discriminated against ethnic minority. No one else does. To right leaning people they are white and to left leaning people they are uber white devils.
2) Large numbers of Jewish people didn't really believe their faith, and like all atheists voted hard left - as you note demographics seems to be resolving this issue
3) The left wing political establishment rewarded left leaning Jews - look at how failed commune member Bernie Sanders is now rich...but the entry to politics for Jewish people in the Dem party is closing
4) The argument re: Israel was always that Israeli hardliners were the problem and if Israel just negotiated enough the problem would go away. Well Israel gave Hamas their own land and they used it to plan an attack to rape and murder peace-nik Israelis.

There is no useful thing to say about "the Catholics" because as a group all Catholics split exactly as the population as a whole. If you divide Catholics into groups based upon Mass attendance, regular church goers are to the right of Evangelicals and those that never attend are to the left of mainline Protestants.

Sometimes simply obedience to what the Lord says is verboten is wise policy. Humans have this tendency to start to 'revise' and 'extend' what the Bible says to the extent that the original prohibition becomes a shell. Thus, allowing people to do as they wilt while claiming Biblical sanction for it.

Generally Speaking Roman Catholicism leans towards salvation through the Church. Due to its corporate nature, and the Second Chances concept of Purgatory, a Mob Fixer can perform a hit on the way to Mass and that is acceptable. So aborting children has its place in Rome.
This is in contrast to Confessional Christianity with a foundation within the Doctrines of Grace that, because of spiritual regeneration and sanctification would make it inconceivable for the Elect in Christ to vote for a pro-abortion candidate. The renewed mind finds that sin to be a characteristic of the unregenerated

I think you need to update your definitions a bit. There are Catholics who fit your description and there are those in your second category who just like social hour after service.
New CAtholics and a purging of the old has made the catholic population more gospel focused in probably the last 100 years. The old liberal catholic dioceses are dying. Catholics will trend GOP more strongly going forward. Geography will impact that.

NAZI policies were mostly the latter - you couldn't escape the Gestapo by converting to Christianity or Islam.
But many NAZI leaders also complained that Christianity was also a Jewish religion and it had made the Germans weak.
Now of course prior to Christianity Germans were backward barbarians but history was never a NAZI strong suit

Not an accurate characterization of Catholic theology on any point. Purgatory has nothing to do with second chances, that's Confession. Abortion etc. carries with it automatic excommunication.
Usually Protestantism is stricter about actual membership being requisite for salvation, and their shift to the right on abortion is relatively recent, happening late in the 20th century.

The movie or the documentary? I couldn't sit through the movie, but the documentary was interesting.
I was surprised how easy it was for art dealers and promoters to create a new superstar overnight, from literally nothing, and the supposedly sophisticated (and very rich) art collectors just lapped it up. Talk about NPCs ....
Basquiat had some talent, and he certainly knew how to manipulate homosexuals like Warhol, but he basically painted the same thing over and over ... and over.

Life-threatening violence broke out at a 12-year-olds girls’ softball game over the weekend, leaving one man unconscious with a fractured skull, a grandfather with a broken hip, and a Texas couple arrested and charged with assault.
Kiarious Marshun Hall and his wife, Jazmine Hall, were attending their daughter’s game at Imperial Park in the Houston suburb of Sugar Land, Texas, on Saturday when a verbal dispute among parents erupted into a physical attack, according to ABC 13.

“Here are the people that are spreading the Ebola virus through people’s toilets and rivers!” the angry group of local residents shouted, summoning an even angrier band of youths armed with clubs and machetes. The nurse died at the scene after the mob attacked.
A few days before that deadly incident, another community worker in the area was attacked by a mob and escaped with his life, but the mob set his house on fire.

I suppose it's harder to paint a dog because dogs are expressive and their personality shows on their faces. Much like painting a person. It looks off, if you don't get the character right.
Cats have almost no expression or personality on their blank faces beyond oh..say, a yawn.
That's why their portraits are so often anthropomorphized or given the AI treatment.

This is a masterpiece of American landscape painting. It touches geometric abstraction in how the buildings are represented and at the same time are perfectly understood as real objects. The colors are spectacular and ground the scene in a serenity; Edward Hopper went here all the time - this is completely American. This period of American art and photography has become my favorite.

Propaganda works. If it didn't they wouldn't do it.
What they love more than anything is demoralizing us.
But you know what they love more? Demoralizing their own people. And faking polls before an election could accomplish both. Us before and their own after.
With their own people shattered they get angrier, more disappointed, more miserable.
And our celebration if it happens will be short lived because they just start demoralizing with something else shortly thereafter. Kamala being unstoppable or whatever. And. It. Works.

There's a short promo of Asteroid City, filmed at the outdoor set, with Murray and Jason Schwartzman. No idea why Muray didn't play a bigger role, there was obviously some level of availability (and Anderson talks about how he uses schedules creatively to afford his casts).

People include the House because we remember the ACA repeal bills easily passing the House under Paul Ryan and then suddenly not even being brought to the floor once Trump was president.
The skepticism is historically warranted.
However, Johnson did pass the OBBB which tripled ICE and cut off a bunch of benefits to illegals, which the Senate then passed. So, I suspect that Johnson is different from Ryan.

The donks control the entire apparatus in NYS so they can pretty much do what they want.
Basically Blue states are becoming bluer, red states are becoming redder and since blue states tend to have bigger populations, I think we are starting to tend back to a point where everything is locked in and the donks will have a slight numerical edge going forward.
I fully expect them to whittle down the Cali and NY congressional GOP to next to nothing so, I think they take control of the house.
And since the GOP in many places doesn't want to rock the boat and redistirct, the Donks will have the numerical edge for a while.

Much as I hate Leftists, I don't really hold it against him. You can't take people like him seriously when they say what they "believe."

That comparing day to day from 2026 early voting to 2024, the county level analysis of voting in Texas is showing that the electorate in Texas today is slightly to the left of what it was in 2024.
In 2024, Cruz won by 9 and Trump won by 14.
So, assume that Paxton wins as many Republicans as Cruz did (only 6% of Republicans voted for Beto in 201
, and you're looking at Paxton on track to winning by about 7.Posted by: TheJamesMadison, precisely framed and deadpan with Wes Anderson at October 29, 2026 10:55 AM (pfZGz)

It's a standard crossover rate, roughly 5% or so.
The only time something exceeds that is usually incredible controversy (Mark Robinson in the NC governor's race in 2024, you should have heard the ads using his own words over and over again). And as much as Democrats want Paxton to be like Robinson, he's not.

Maybe they want the Republicans to win because it's easier to attack them then it will be to attack the new Socialist Dems... Attacking Trump and his minions is their bread and butter... Besides.. They're probably afraid of the Socialists...

And this is how too many of elites view the Lord--as a Pez dispenser of fortune and grace. Since many of them don't really view Stan and his minions as real, bad things can only come from the Lord.
Saw something similar what Ted Turner hated Christianity and the Lord, he prayed for a beloved sister to live and she died. And held a grudge over it for the rest of his life against Christians because of it.
Rupert Murdoch dumped a Christian fiancee because she discussed her faith with him and he found the concept disturbing.
The glittery bright and beautiful invert the hierarchy into they deserve good things in their lives because of their wonderfulness. Bad things happening is reserved for the untermenschen.

Obama isn't up for election. Elmi isn't in electoral danger for their precious numbers. The story isn't going to convince any of their idiot readers to switch sides. They haven't uncovered new information, just repeated what is widely known.
Surrounded by "Trump is a demon who will kill us all", it's essentially pap.
To US it seems like a big deal. To their side it's "see, the NYT is fair!!"

It has taken me a long time, in my 29+ years of life, to understand this life is a test, and tests are by their very definition hard. That struggle is an essential part of it. And maybe god gives me hard things to work through BECAUSE he loves me, not because he hates me. And he will be with me every step of the way, if I lean on him.
Whenever Billy decides to talk to God again, God will be right there. He cares about us even we don't care about him.
The most poignant scripture to me at the moment is "Jesus wept." He knew he was about to resurrect their brother from the dead, and yet he wept and mourned with Mary and Martha. He weeps with us every day. And roots for us every day.

Anyone reading the Book of Job or viewing the sacrifice of Jesus in the New Testament along with the grisly martyrdom of saints should get the message.
During bad times, I was never tempted to blame the Lord, but instead blamed myself and individuals that were responsible. Prideful individuals though believe their good fortune comes from being good people rather than being humble despite repeated admonitions that one must be humble before the Lord. Even Moses nearly got killed for disobedience and was punished by never being able to enter the Promised Land.
Instead of reading the Bible, I think many of societal elites get their religion from attending services and it is not too popular nowadays for ministers/rabbis/etc to emphasize unpleasant truths in the Bible/Torah. We gloss over the bad things happening documented in the Good Book at our peril. And these even occur to those that the Lord views as his favorites because his plans are not ours.
